DMDT Section Home Governance How to Join Reports Constitution
WCP2014 13-18 July 2014
The section contributed to several symposia in the IUPHAR2014 programme and also held a business meeting during the meeting to elect some new officers and members of the executive board. An important feature of our participation in this meeting involved four symposia which we proposed jointly with the Pharmacogenetics Section. We are grateful to the conference organisers for accepting all four symposia which were each well attended with some interesting discussion between the speakers and the audience.
Details of the symposia were as follows:
(i) Epigenetic regulation of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters chaired by Ingolf Cascorbi with Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg, Ingolf Cascorbi and Matthias Schwab as speakers.
(ii) Pharmacogenetics in infectious disease chaired by Ann Daly with Pedro Gil, Adalberto Santos and Eleni Aklillu as speakers.
(iii) Role of drug transporters in interindividual variations in drug response chaired by Matthias Schwab with Matthias Schwab, Frans Russel and Christoph Funk as speakers.
(iv) Understanding drug-induced liver injury: CYP450 and the immune system chaired by Allan Rettie with James Lewis, Jack Uetrecht and Ann Daly as speakers.
ICT Congress, Seoul, Korea
Thurs 4th July 2013
Joint symposium sponsored by IUTOX and IUPHAR
Active Metabolites: Potential Target for New Drug Discovery and Toxicity
Chairs: Allan E Rettie (University of Washington, USA) & Dafang Zhong (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
The role of reactive metabolite formation in adverse drug reactions: Dominic Williams (University of Liverpool, UK)
Mechanisms of drug-drug interactions involving amiodarone metabolites: roles of irreversible and time-dependent inhibition: Allan E Rettie (University of Washington, USA)
Metabolic bioactivation potentially related to toxicities of some herbal drug components: Dafang Zhong (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
Genetic factors affecting metabolism to reactive intermediates in idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity: Ann K Daly (Newcastle University, UK)
Metabolites of drugs and other xenobiotics are intrinsically linked with therapeutic response and toxicity. A mechanistic understanding of active and reactive metabolite formation can aid efforts to optimise drug therapy. Additionally, evaluation of metabolite exposure during drug development by the pharmaceutical industry is an increasing component of licensing regulations. This IUPHAR-sponsored symposium addressed all the foregoing considerations with lectures from four internationally recognized scientists from the UK, USA and China. Symposium speakers discussed advances in our understanding of the diversity of drug bioactivation processes for both marketed drugs and herbal products as well as the identification of genetic factors that influence drug-induced liver injury.
The symposium (Active Metabolites: Potential Target for New Drug Discovery and Toxicity) was chaired by Drs. Allan Rettie (University of Washington, Seattle) and Dafang Zhong (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai) and designed to be of interest to a broad array of conference attendees. The session was opened by a comprehensive presentation from Dr. Dominic Williams (University of Liverpool) who discussed the role of reactive metabolites in adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Dr. Williams began by emphasising the UK burden of ADRs, with 7% of patients admitted to hospital due to and ADR and 20% of in-patients have their hospital stay lengthened due to an ADR. Dr Williams then discussed mechanisms by which hepatic ADRs can arise and focused upon the example of nefazodone, an antidepressant that was withdrawn after 55 cases of liver failure. Dr Williams presented data showing that nefazodone can be bioactivated by cytochrome P450, through covalent binding and nucleophilic trapping of reactive metabolites in the form of mono- and di-hydroxy glutathione adducts. However, inhibition of 450, in fact, enhanced cytotoxicity towards rat hepatocytes, whilst inhibiting metabolism and covalent binding. These data indicate that although nefazodone can form reactive metabolites which irreversibly bind to protein, it is the parent compound which causes the toxicity.
Dr. Rettie then spoke to the formation of inhibitory metabolites of the cardiac drug, amiodarone, which is well recognised to cause drug interactions with numerous co-administered drugs that result in potentiation of the ‘victim’ drug’s pharmacology. He described his group’s research on the inhibitory potential of several N-dealkylated metabolites and concluded from in vitro data that much of the inhibition seen in vivo was likely a consequence of formation of an inhibitory di-desalkyl metabolite, which despite being a minor quantitative product, is a potent Type II inhibitor of several P450 enzymes. Minimising the N-dealkylation pathway could be a strategy for improving the drug interaction profile of amiodarone analogues.
Dr. Zhong highlighted the potential for metabolic bioactivation of some natural products. Herbal remedies are often a starting point for drug development but their natural origin does not preclude metabolism-related toxicities. 5-O-Caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) is one of the major bioactive ingredients in some Chinese herbal injections. Occasional anaphylaxis has been reported for these injections during their clinical use, possibly caused by reactive metabolites of 5-CQA. Dr. Dafong’s study aimed at characterising the bioactivation pathways of 5-CQA and the enzymes involved. The high reactivities of the ortho-benzoquinone metabolite and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group of 5-CQA to nucleophiles were demonstrated. Different pathological situations and COMT activities in patients may alter the bioactivation extent of 5-CQA.
Finally, Dr. Ann Daly (Newcastle University, UK) discussed idiosyncratic toxicities that arise from genetically determined alterations in drug metabolism, highlighting the examples of diclofenac and isoniazid, both common causes of drug induced-liver injury in humans, which are believed to undergo metabolism to toxic reactive intermediates. There is increasing evidence that genotype for UGT2B7 and ABCC2 are relevant to the risk of toxicity with diclofenac and NAT2 to isoniazid-related liver injury due to functionally significant polymorphisms in these genes affecting the level of reactive intermediates formed.

House price data released this week from two of the UK's biggest mortgage lenders point to lower prices for April, although still higher than a year ago. Estate agents from around the UK give their views and property analyst Kate Faulkner discusses what it might mean for buyers and sellers.
A new law which allows the financial affairs of missing people to be managed by close relatives was passed just before Parliament was dissolved ahead of the general election. What are the issues that people in this situation face and how will the Guardianship (Missing Persons) Act help them when it comes into force? We hear from Eddie whose son Carl has been missing since February last year and Susannah Drury, Director of the charity Missing People.
The Conservative Party says it plans to cap energy standard variable tariff prices if it wins next month's general election. A draft of Labour's manifesto is also promising a cap to keep domestic dual fuel bills below £1000 a year. Last year a report into the energy sector by the Competition and Markets Authority found that around seventy percent of domestic customers with the six largest energy firms are on default standard variable tariffs. It also rejected the idea of a widespread cap, instead recommending a temporary one for prepayment customers. Steve Thomas, Emeritus Professor of Energy Policy at the University of Greenwich and David Pike Co-founder of People's Energy discuss.

It's the sort of proof
no one was hoping for -- an indication that skyrocketing fuel
prices are cutting into the commercial airline business. It's sort
of like kicking a man when he's down (or just getting up).
United Airlines says it may have to lay off more employees
because of increased fuel costs. The bankrupt carrier's chief
operating officer, Pete McDonald, said "there's always a
potential," when asked whether the higher prices for fuel would
result in lay offs.
Speaking at an event
for United's spinoff airline, Ted, McDonald compared the spike in
fuel costs with the 9/11 attacks and last year's SARS epidemic.
"It's got the same effect on us," he said.
United's parent company, UAL Corp., filed documents in federal
court Friday indicating the airline isn't currently hedging fuel
prices. United predicts it will spend $750 million on fuel this
That echoes the warnings of analysts who say the industry's
fledgling recovery could be all but erased by the fuel price

Eastern Germany's youth movement rebelling against the far-right
In the small city of Gera, these activists are fighting for change.
Like many other countries in the west, Germany has struggled with a rise in far-right nationalism over the past decade. Although the right-wing party, Alternative für Germany (AfD), dropped about 2% nationally in the federal election back in September, it remains the strongest political force in the east, particularly in the states of Saxony and Thuringia.
Located in the latter state, Gera is one of many cities in the grips of this. With around 93,000 inhabitants, the city mostly makes headlines due to its high numbers of AfD voters, rather than with its youth-led countermovement. German photographer Benjamin Werner wanted to change this. What started as a loose idea of exploring his roots while visiting his mother's hometown close to Gera two years ago, evolved into a portrait series capturing the people rebelling against the city's far-right political norms.
One evening, Benjamin stumbled across a concert in the middle of Gera square full of brightly dressed young performers sharing the same enthusiasm and energy. "This evening stuck with me," he says. "I wanted to explore the minds of the left-wing youth of this city further." Collaborating with London-based stylist Warren Leech and two casting directors from Berlin, Benjamin tried to track down the performers from that night along with the other incredibly open and creative people rebelling against the norm of their hometown.
Are you politically engaged? Yes, I visit democracy events and take part in demonstrations and counterdemonstrations. For example, we played a live gig last September as a counteraction to an AfD rally. I'm also active on social media. What's the difference between your generation and your parents' generation? My parents immigrated from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan shortly after the reunification, so there are a lot of differences. I grew up both Russian and "East German" through my environment. What is the best thing about being young? The opportunity to do things for the first time.
What are your views on the climate emergency? Too little is being done, and countries that don't emit much CO2 suffer more than economically strong ones. I think that's not fair. What is the best thing about being young? You can change things, you are not so stuck or bound to them. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? Environmental awareness.
Are you interested in politics? Yes, I'm interested in gender and racial issues. I read a lot about it, I watch YouTube videos and I listen to podcasts. Is there still an east-west divide in Germany? Yes, you can tell by the way the people talk. What's something you would like to change? People should read more.
What's it like living in Gera? More than 90,000 people live here, but sometimes I have the feeling just 100 of them are my age, and 99 of them don't understand me. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? Older people could learn to accept flaws. Just because you 'used to do something that way' doesn't mean it's okay today. What is the best thing about being young? Carefreeness and freedom.
Are you interested in politics? I'm part of the Green Party (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), so I'm engaged in politics daily. Is the fall of the wall still present in your everyday life? Not really; it's only when older generations draw attention to it. Rents and wages are most the present [issues]. Which things do you want to change in the world? Transgender rights, climate crisis, more vegetarians, egoism and the focus on cars.
What causes do you believe in? I believe that at some point, karma will give back what everyone deserves. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? The older ones should also think of the future of the younger ones and not just theirs. Which three things do you want to change in the world? More sustainability, climate change and equal pay between Eastern and Western Germany.
What's it like living in Gera? There used to be more people here. The city became quieter, so you have to be able to entertain yourself. Are you politically engaged? Not really. I go to a few demonstrations now and then, but I wouldn't call myself politically active, but fuck the AfD! What is the best thing about being young? Long nights thanks to excess energy.
Are you politically engaged? Yes, I'm an active member of Die PARTEI. What are you excited about in the future? I'm really excited about my pension. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? Young and old should learn from each other.
What is the best thing about being young? You can experience a lot and make mistakes, as long as you learn from them. What's the difference between your and your parent's generation? The main difference is a type of openness that maybe hasn't existed before. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? To see things from a different perspective, through the eyes of others, and to be open to new things.
Are you interested in politics? Yes, I take part in protests and read a lot. Is there still an east-west divide in Germany? Yes, the salaries are especially different. What do you look forward to? Life in general, the small things. Birds twittering, the quiet in the forest, good music and beer.
Is there still an east-west divide in Germany? Socially, yes! People from Eastern Germany are often confronted with prejudices. Likewise, vice versa. I frequently make ironic jokes about it myself. What's the difference between your generation and your parents' generation? I have very young parents, so the difference is not that big. They were both active in the left spectrum, and the 90s must have been very tough here. What could older generations/world leaders learn from young people? The list is long.
What's it like living in Gera? Gera is the largest small town. Rumours spread very quickly. Is there still an east-west divide in Germany? I think the east goes from one bad image to another — corona deniers, for example. The media [attacks] it every time, and rightly so. But this way, we never leave this image behind. Despite the strong right-wing scene, there is also enough resistance and people who actively defend themselves against it. What is the best thing about being young? The unfiltered view of reality. You're less biased, and you have the most energy in your life.
What are your views on the climate emergency? People are pigs, climate change is real. What's the difference between your generation and your parents' generation? Wokeness. Which things do you want to change in the world? The relationship between humans and animals in nature, the gap between rich and poor, the world view of right-wing people, illegal whaling and any intolerance.

20th Century Fox decided to unload its 2018 slate all at once, offering plenty of new release dates and changing others. Buried at the very end of this announcement is the fact that The Predator is being delayed by quite a few months. It moves from its February 3 dumping ground to August 3, 2018.
While any given movie's delay is cause for alarm, that's not the case here. It appears that 20th Century Fox has a little more confidence in their sci-fi horror reboot, and want to give it a much more attractive summer release date. No other new details have emerged.
The Hollywood Reporter announced this slight delay in The Predator release date. Initially, the galaxy's greatest hunter had the February 3 release date all too itself. Though the movie would have gotten massacred in its second weekend by the final sequel in the Grey trilogy Fifty Shades Freed. It was also set »

10 years ago was was a high watermark in Hollywood - and British - filmmaking. We've been looking at why...
Ten years on, and 2007 must surely be remembered as one of the finest years in English-language film-making, quite possibly the best of this century so far. Like 1939, 1976, or 1994, it was one of those years in which a succession of veritable classics came into being. So many, in fact, that some of the best examples were cruelly overlooked by the hype machine of the day. A decade later, it’s high time to look back at 2007 for both its celebrated landmarks and forgotten masterpieces.
“Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality…” The latest subscriber cover for Empire Magazine has arrived and, after offering the spotlight to Wonder Woman and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in recent months, this time it’s Alien: Covenant‘s turn to take center stage.
Embedded below, the onyx-grey one-sheet draws attention to the famous Xenomorph and its biomechanical design, which sprung from the mind of the great H.R. Giger almost 40 years ago. Since then, the nightmarish being – dubbed the “perfect organism” by Ash back in ’79 – has become one of the most recognizable movie monsters in film history, and it’ll be back on our screens in little over a month’s time with the release of Covenant.
And so, as Ridley Scott’s prequel-sequel creeps ever closer, Empire has turned in a report from the Covenant set, which includes new pictures of the striking, decidedly alien environments and the Neomorph, »

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming slate has took a bit of a hammering this past week or so, what with Paramount letting his option on a Terminator Genisys sequel lapse, the plug being pulled on The Legend of Conan, and the action icon stating he won’t appear in The Expendables 4 unless Sylvester Stallone is on board.
Well, it seems we can also officially rule out a potential cameo in next year’s The Predator, with Arnie revealing to Yahoo! Movies that he did meet with director Shane Black about a return as Dutch, but rejected the opportunity.
“They asked me, and I read it, and I didn’t like it — whatever they offered,” said Arnold. “So I’m not going to do that, no. Except if there’s a chance that they rewrite it, or make it a more significant role. But the way it is now, no, I won’t do that. »

We’re now six movies deep in the “Alien” franchise (including the forthcoming “Alien: Covenant,” not including “Alien vs. Predator”) and as Ridley Scott has said himself, it’s the kind of property that could go on forever. However, had things gone differently during the making of the original film, it’s arguable that might not have even been a sequel, let alone multiple films.

Box OfficeWhat this weekend’s flops say about a couple of May releases.
There was plenty of good news over the weekend as box office reports show Beauty and the Beast crossing the $300m mark after only 10 days, Get Out veering very close to the $150m milestone, and newcomer Power Rangers doing decent business ($41m) for something that didn’t seem suited for a large enough audience.
But there was some bad news, as well, with both Life and CHiPs falling short of their expectations for an estimated $13m and $8m, respectively. Considering they both resemble bigger movies coming out in two months, I can’t help considering how those genuine summer blockbusters — Alien: Covenant and Baywatch — might compare.
Huge releases and huge hits are happening year round these days, with seven movies already this year passing $100m domestically (only four of 2016’s releases hit that mark before the first quarter was over). Beauty and the Beast and »

The cast for Shane Black's The Predator continues to grow. And the movie has just added some more, awesome talent. The latest actor to join the still expanding ensemble is none other than Edward James Olmos (Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica) and, if you weren't excited about this movie already, this might be enough to get you there. While not much has been revealed about his character in the movie, it's said that he plays a military man of some sort, which makes sense, given that this is a Predator movie.
This latest casting news for The Predator comes courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, who couldn't reveal any further details about about the plot, but Fox has been keeping things pretty secretive up to this point. So that isn't necessarily surprising. Whatever it is he will be doing, having someone like Edward James Olmos in this movie can only serve to benefit it. »
With the upcoming release of Alien: Covenant, we get a glimpse of the origins of the Xenomorph. To fans though, it will always begin with Alien. The moment the creature rips itself from the chest of John Hurt is one of the most iconic moments in movie history. This is why my review of the Alien and Predator Figurine Collection starts with the original Xenomorph.
Looking at the impressive little statue, which is 1:16 scale (around 14cm tall) there is plenty of detail in the design of the figurine, and there has to be. H.R. Giger’s alien creation was a work of art, that not only created the monster itself but also the ship it originated from in the Alien movie (in egg form of course).

Raúl Ruiz’s 1980 short film, Snakes And Ladders, follows H as he begins playing a board game where the world around him gradually becomes the board. H comes upon two men playing ludo on a table and as he joins in, the field of play continuously grows, moving from the tabletop to Paris, Europe, the world, and finally all of existence. H’s movement in the game becomes the work of chance governed by the roll of the dice and as he progresses he gradually comes to realize that he is the die, and that he is the game piece being moved about on the map. The cosmic forces controlling H ultimately reach into the frame, emphatically presenting an author surrogate in the form of a hand. Director Paul W.S. Anderson creates filmic board games similar to Snake And Ladders without explicitly revealing his authorial hand. He leaves the author’s presence unstated, »
Back in 2012, heralded filmmaker Ridley Scott finally made his long-awaited return to the Alien franchise with Prometheus, which received mixed reviews but still paved the way for this summer's Alien: Covenant. It has already been confirmed that Alien: Covenant will start a new trilogy of sci-fi films, that will eventually connect to Ridley Scott's original classic Alien. But now it seems the director is thinking even bigger. Ridley Scott revealed during a new interview that he is actually planning six more movies after Alien: Covenant. Here's what he had to say below.
"If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six. I'm not going to close it down again. No way."
The filmmaker revealed this during an on-set interview with the Syndey Morning Herald while production was still under way. After directing the 1979 classic Alien, he handed the reins over to James Cameron for the iconic 1986 sequel Aliens, »
The Alien franchise is officially back in full swing. It was a film series that began decades back with Alien, continued with Aliens, and then officially fell off the rails with the David Fincher-directed Alien 3. Discounting the Alien vs. Predator films, it pretty much sat in hibernation for a while.
A few years back, director Ridley Scott returned to the helm for Prometheus, a film they stated was made with the same DNA as Alien. Despite the filmmaker’s many warnings that Prometheus would not be a direct prequel to Alien, fans continued to take it as gospel that it would, in fact, be a direct prequel to Alien. So when the credits rolled in Prometheus, and we were left with the most loose of connections to the original films, fans were left unsatisfied. Would Ridley Scott leave us with these threads dangling?
It turns out now. Scott »

For a long time, Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant was an unknown quantity. Billed as both a continuation of the beloved Alien franchise and a sequel to the poorly received Prometheus, fans prayed for more of the latter and less of the former. Well, they’ll get a pretty good idea of which they’ll receive on Thursday, as 20th Century Fox is attaching a full-length red band trailer for the film in front of screenings of the hotly anticipated Logan.
Christmas Day saw the release of a teaser trailer and last week saw a brilliant prologue scene entitled “Last Supper” debut, in which we got to know the crew of the colonization ship Covenant. We met them in the middle of their final meal before heading into cryosleep, giving us an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the characters and their mission to form a new human settlement on a remote planet. »

Regular listeners to the Flickering Myth Podcast will know that my movie tastes aren’t the norm when it comes to being a paid ‘film critic’. I have little interest in The Godfather or Citizen Kane, but will happily talk ad nauseam about the Child’s Play series or Friday the 13th. When it comes to Spielberg I’m more Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark than Jaws and Schindler’s List, and I loathe the works of Woody Allen and Wes Anderson. I’ve not seen any of the films nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Oscars. Not one. Come to think of it, I didn’t see any of last year’s either. »

Though he doesn’t have the same clout as Hollywood’s other famous Paul Anderson, Paul W.S. Anderson has carved out his own impressive career, with films from the Mortal Kombat movie to Event Horizon to Alien Vs. Predator. But perhaps he’s best know for helming the persistent Resident Evil franchise, which just wrapped up with its sixth and final installment, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. In a new interview with Thrillist, Anderson reflects back on the Resident Evil franchise and the unique career path he’s taken over the years.
What comes through most strongly in the interview is the fact that Anderson is incredibly content with his career. He’s aware that his films aren’t critical hits (he mentions he doesn’t take reviews too seriously), but he takes pride in the fact that he’s satisfying an audience who clearly loves his work (Resident ...

It’s a shame that the zombie-mowing, monster-bashing post-apocalyptic Resident Evil series should end on a bum note, with one of its weakest entries; whether taken as guilty pleasures or as termite art, these movies are the only good thing to have come out of the early 2000s craze for schlocky video-game adaptations. They’re terrifically entertaining, boasting a capable pulp heroine in Milla Jovovich’s wasteland-roving Alice and an action-to-downtime ratio that makes most of their genre competitors look like pretentious twaddle. Jovovich’s husband Paul W.S. Anderson produces, writes, and directs most of them, and he’s a disreputable, utterly sincere sci-fi stylist whose dogged commitment to filming corridors, urban wastelands, and anything reminiscent of Aliens (including, yes, Alien Vs. Predator) eventually metastasized into a set of narrative themes. But behind these strong B-movie values is a series that begs to not be read literally—a mirror »

Sir Ridley Scott’s Alien has been widely hailed as a masterpiece, but many fans actually prefer James Cameron’s action-packed sequel Aliens. Regardless of which side of the fence you land on, there’s no denying that the franchise has struggled since then thanks to the disappointing third and fourth instalments and the mixed response to so-called prequel, Prometheus.
Throw in the abysmal Alien Vs. Predator movies and to say that Scott’s Alien: Covenant may end up making or breaking the series would be an understatement. However, one person who thinks that the time of the Xenomorphs is at an end is Cameron, who said in a recent interview that he believes “we’ve moved on” from the Alien franchise.
“The franchise has kind of wandered all over the map. Ridley [Scott] did the first film, and he inspired an entire generation of filmmakers and science-fiction fans with that »

James Cameron's Aliens was that rare sequel which managed to be every bit as good (if not better, depending on who you talk to) as its predecessor, but he isn't overly enthusiastic about the sequels which followed.

Hollywood hasn’t always played nice with some of its biggest franchises. Occasionally, you get some truly great ones that managed to maintain their integrity throughout the entire run, but more often in the industry, franchises are run hard into the ground. Before the age of cinematic universes, studios had a tendency to rely solely on the name recognition of their sequels, and this trend is what led to the downfall of some greats, including the Alien franchise.
The original film (directed by Ridley Scott) hit theaters in 1979, and went on to become a staple in the horror/sci-fi genre. 1986 saw the release of the more action-oriented sequel Aliens, which was directed by James Cameron. Since that point, the film franchise kind of went off the deep end. Alien 3 had all the best intentions, but ultimately fell short of expectations, and Alien: Resurrections..let’s pretend that never happened, »

After nearly seven years of lying dormant, the Predator franchise is getting ready to make a comeback and in seemingly true-to-form fashion. Director Shane Black, who starred in the original Predator, is currently working on a new entry in the franchise, simply titled The Predator, which is getting ready to start shooting for release early next year. The cast has been growing in recent weeks and now, Room star Jacob Tremblay has reportedly signed on for the movie.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the 10-year-old actor is joining the fight against The Predator, alongside Boyd Holbrook, who is playing the main hero in the movie. The part was originally intended for Benicio Del Toro, but he had to drop out over scheduling conflicts. Jacob Tremblay broke out in the Oscar-winning drama Room and that put him on Hollywood's radar in a big way. Now he is going to make the jump from quiet, »

Mission Dolores Park
Between the Mission and Castro districts
San Francisco, CA
Submitted by: Brian Geraghty
A public park known for its views
A beautiful eight square block park nestled on a hillside with broad sweeping views of the San Francisco downtown and Bay Area skyline to the north east.
What Makes Mission Dolores Park a Great Place?
Located directly in between famous Castro Street in The Castro, and Valencia Street in The Mission, Dolores park is also only a few blocks from the bustling Market street. Accessible by light rail on the F and J lines, Dolores Park is also walking distance from the BART, multiple MUNI and bus lines, and the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Dolores park is right in the middle of the cultural and social center of San Francisco. Dolores Street, which borders the park to the east is a 4 lane road but it has a nice grassy median with palm trees. It is not heavily trafficked, vehicles go slow and it's easy to cross.
Although the park is quite heavily used on sunny days, the grass is in good shape, and the crowd doesn't feel like a deterrent. There are benches bordering the park and scattered throughout, but most people prefer to sit on the sloped ground which faces the northeast with beautiful far reaching views on the San Francisco downtown skyline and the greater Bay Area beyond.
Besides the great views, the park features a few basketball and tennis courts and a playground. There is loads of open space and it is not uncommon to see young people throwing a frisbee, or dogs chasing balls. The park is happily shared by families and twenty and thirty somethings at all hours of the day. The park is surrounded by some of the best cafes the city has to offer and is an excellent place to bring a cup of coffee and a croissant with the morning paper.
The park generally seems to be heavy on locals but there is no territorial feeling; all comers are welcome. People visit alone or as couples, with groups or with dogs. Everyone is generally friendly and sociable.

The present application is the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371 of PCT/JP99/07347, filed 27 Dec. 27, 1999.
The present invention relates to a handset (i.e., transmitter/receiver) provided with a bone conduction speaker, and more particularly to the handset which is downsized by using the bone conduction speaker so as to be connected with and used together with a PHS (personal handy-phone system), a cell phone or a radio communication unit.
As for a conventional handset for a telephone set and the like, the handset is improved in its transmitter portion by using a close-talking microphone so as to be capable of being used even in a high-noise environment, but not improved in its receiver portion in which a conventional air-conduction speaker is used without any improvement so that it is difficult for the user to catch a voice sound in the high-noise environment. Due to the presence of such difficulty of catching the voice sound, the user of the conventional handset must close one of his/her ears with his/her hand in order to try to catch the voice sound when he/she receives a communication from his/her partner in communication. The spectacle of such user's behavior has been often witnessed.
In a unit such as a cell phone or a PHS, since a microphone and a speaker of the unit are disposed in a small-sized casing, the microphone in the transmitter side of the unit is separated from the user's mouth when the speaker in the receiver side of the unit is brought into close contact with the user's ear, which makes it impossible for the user to whisper in communication since such whisper is not sufficiently transmitted to his/her partner in a communication.
In order to compensate for such disadvantages, there is provided a conventional transmitter/receiver unit serving as an externally connected device which is adapted to the cell phone and the like. The conventional transmitter/receiver unit has its microphone separated from its speaker. In use, such conventional unit is mounted on the user's ear or inserted into an acoustic meatus of the user's ear. Due to this, the conventional unit is not used together with the headset and the like. Further, in view of a physical distance between the user's ear to his/her mouth, it is difficult to downsize the conventional transmitter/receiver unit. Further, in such downsizing, there are many restrictions on the configuration of the conventional transmitter/receiver unit. Still further, in the conventional transmitter/receiver unit, since its microphone is separated from its speaker, the conventional unit is poor in portability and in fitness. Further, in the conventional unit, it is difficult for its user to immediately answer a phone call.
As described above, the conventional transmitter/receiver unit serving as the externally connected device connected with the cell phone and the like suffers from various disadvantages. Consequently, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above disadvantages by providing a handset, which is small in size, light in weight and excellent in fitness. Further, the handset of the present invention enables a user thereof to easily perceive any voice sound in communication even in a high-noise environment, and also enables the user to speak in a whisper without making the people around the user uncomfortable. Still further, it is possible for the user of the handset of the present invention to communicate with his/her partner in a communication while enjoying music and the like through a headset and the like. The handset of the present invention is capable of also serving as a personal ornament.
The present invention resides in a handset using a bone conduction speaker, the handset comprising: a bone conduction speaker portion; a microphone portion; and, a drive circuit storage portion, wherein the handset is capable of being connected with a telephone set or a radio communication unit, wherein the bone conduction speaker is so arranged as to be capable of abutting against an arbitrary area of a user's face when the microphone portion is disposed adjacent to the user's mouth.
A finger-mounted portion assuming a cap-like configuration or a finger ring-like configuration may be provided in the bone conduction speaker portion and/or the microphone portion. Further, the bone conduction speaker portion, the microphone portion and the drive circuit storage portion may be coated with a decorative exterior member.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of further another embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 4A-4B are a perspective view of still further another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 6A-6C are a perspective view of further another embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a handset 1 of the present invention using a bone conduction speaker is constructed of: a bone conduction speaker portion 2 constructed of a bone conduction speaker; a microphone portion 3, which is usually constructed of a close-talking microphone; a speaker amplifier disposed therebetween; a microphone amplifier; a drive circuit storage portion 4 including a battery (which may be eliminated when power is derived from a main body of the telephone set or of a radio communication unit) and the like; and, connecting portions 5 for mechanically supporting the above individual component portions, the connecting portions 5 being electrically connected with such component portions.
The bone conduction speaker portion 2 functions to transmit a voice sound as a bone-conduction sound, and is brought into close contact with the user's face in the vicinity of his/her ear when used. In most cases, the bone conduction speaker portion 2 is substantially symmetrically arranged with the microphone portion 3 with respect to the drive circuit storage portion 4.
A structural member (shell) of each of the bone conduction speaker portion 2 and the microphone portion 3 is made of resilient flexible materials having an affinity for the user's skin. For example, the flexible materials comprise annealed copper wires, rubber, urethane resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, silicone resins and the like.
In the drawings, 6 denotes a connecting cord for connecting the handset of the present invention with the cell phone, PHS or a main body of a radio communication unit.
In an embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in order to facilitate a mounting and supporting operation of the handset of the present invention on the user's face, a finger-mounted portion 7 assuming a cap-like configuration or a finger ring-like configuration is provided in the bone conduction speaker portion 2 and/or the microphone portion 3. In this case, the user has one or two of his/her fingers inserted into the finger-mounted portions 7, and then has the bone conduction speaker portion 2 brought into slight press contact with his/her forehead, temple, cheekbone, the middle of his/her forehead, or the like to catch a voice sound having been received in a condition in which the user has his/her mouth disposed adjacent to the microphone portion 3 to communicate with his/her partner in a communication.
When the microphone portion 3 is disposed inside the user's palm, it is possible for the user to cover his/her mouth with his/her hand while communicating with his/her partner, which makes it possible for the user to speak in a whisper much smaller in level than that the user uses in one-piece communication units such as a cell phone, a personal handy-phone system, a radio communication unit or the like.
An embodiment shown in FIG. 3 has the connecting portion 5 formed into a C-shaped configuration, which makes it possible for this embodiment to be mounted on the user's wrist in wearing. More specifically, the connecting portion 5 has a moderate resiliency, which makes it possible to resiliently separate the bone conduction speaker portion 2 from the microphone portion 3 when the embodiment is mounted on the user's wrist in an insertion manner. After completion of insertion of the user's wrist into the embodiment, the connecting portion 5 resiliently returns to its substantially initial configuration so that the embodiment is brought into a slight press contact with the user's wrist.
Another embodiment shown in FIG. 4 enables the handset 1 to also have personal ornament properties. In this case, each of the above-mentioned components 2 to 4 is coated with each (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5) of external members 8 or coated with an integral external member 9. Preferably, such external members 8, 9 are made of vibration-absorbing materials such as rubber, urethane resins, silicon resins and the like, or formed of such vibration-absorbing materials coated with hard materials such as plastics, metals and the like. Further, the external members 8, 9 are formed into decorative configuration provided with patterns and colors in appearance.
Incidentally, when the individual components 2 to 4 are separately formed, it is possible to gather these components 2 to 4 by withdrawing the connecting portions 5 into the drive circuit storage portion 4 during non-use of the handset 1 in order to save space (see FIG. 4(B)) as a whole.
Further, by forming one or a plurality of the above components 2 to 4 into a clip-like configuration or by mounting a hook and the like on a rear surface of one or a plurality of the components 2 to 4, it is possible to mount the handset 1 as personal ornament on the user's clothes during non-use of the handset 1. In this case, it is possible for the user to immediately answer a phone call and also possible immediately call his/her partner in a communication to the phone.
The present invention having the above construction has the following effects:
1) Since the bone conduction speaker is used in place of an ordinary air-conduction speaker, there is no need the user to have the speaker portion of the handset brought into contact with his/her ear. Due to this, it is possible to freely design the configuration of the handset without considering a distance between the user's mouth and his/her ear;
2) The handset of the present invention enables its user to easily perceive any voice sound in communication even in a high-noise environment, and also enables the user to speak in a whisper without making the people around him/her uncomfortable, wherein such whisper is much smaller in sound level than that he/she uses in one-piece communication units such as a cell phone, a PHS and a radio communication unit;
3) In use, since the speaker portion of the handset is not necessarily disposed in the vicinity of the user'sear, it is possible for the user to communicate with his/her partner in a communication while enjoying music through a headset and the like, for example.
4) It is possible to provide a personal ornament type handset, which is small in size, light in weight, versatile in configuration and excellent in ornamental properties. Consequently, the above-mentioned effects of the present invention are capable of further fueling the demand for the handset and also capable of satisfying the user's taste.
Since the present invention has the above effects, it is possible to further increase the number of the users of the cell phones and the like, which has a large economic effect on the communication industry.

I can tell you 100% you are incorrect, this has happened plenty of times to my HP, and it has nothing to do with the graphics card. Simply takes a few hours then it will boot, the graphics card is perfectly fine.

I had the lights that never stopped blinking. A HARD RESET worked for me:
DO THIS FIRST - Perform a hard reset
- Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove all USB devices and media cards. You want to test the computer not the accessories!
- Disconnect the AC power adapter, remove the battery, and then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds .
- Reconnect the AC power adapter (but do not connect the battery), Press the Power button, Look for glowing LEDs near caps lock and num lock keys, and Listen for sounds of a disk drive and fan turning.

I had the same blinking Caps Lock and Num Lock problem with a totally black screen. Tried unseating everything and reinstalling, tried the battery remove for 25 mins and rebooting under AC alone, restarted 10 or so times and every time I did it the same thing happened, I'd press the power slider, the fan and all key lights would come on and the 2 blinking lights would start to blick.
I called HP and he pretty quickly walked me through the same steps, and then told me my mother board had crashed. I'm on hold right now waiting for the detials. I received a case number so far and am just waiting on final shipping information.
Total cost will be $399+ tax including shipping. Not sure I want to invest $400+ on a 18 month old laptop, even though I've been happy with it.
If this happens to you, call HP at 800-474-6836, he was very helpful.
Good luck, I'll try to remember to report back when I get the PC back.
PS: I have a Touchsmart tx2, model tx2-1370us running Windows7

It happened the same to me and a friend of mine. After 18 months (warranty died) black screen, lights num lock blinking, typical noise on DVD trying to start... and nothing. I have replaced the motherboard for an ebay used expending $180 . . . and exactly the same. I will appreciate your feedback. My friend suffer the same after two months. 2 weeks before the failure I have update the bios. Simple coincidence?
08-24-2011 10:40 AM
I was able to hold the 4 arrow keys and hit the power button. The Laptop DV7-1451nr has powered up and no led lights. Will this take care of the problem or will I have to do this every time I power down? Thanks for the help.
08-24-2011 12:11 PM
"i was able to hold the 4 arrow keys and hit the power button" - I'm interested in your solution, but do you mean hit the power button and 4 arrow keys at the same time when turning the pc on or you do that when turning the pc off to take care of the blinking led lights?

My biggest passion is italo disco.
I prefer the less-known, even obscure and bizarre tracks but of course there are many commercial sounding releases that I also enjoy a lot. The genre is so diverse that it’s impossible to say that you like everything. I actually have a love/hate relationship with many of vinyls I have in my collection. I can remember many songs that I nearly hated on the first listen but fell in love with the second time. The most important aspect for me in italo is that it gives you a wide range of emotions – it never leaves you cold.

Sydney cluster case visited Qld pub, Sunshine Coast
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has revealed Queensland has three new cases of COVID-19 - two in hotel quarantine and the third a woman from Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Ms Palaszczuk said the woman visited the Sunshine Coast and The Glen Hotel in Eight Mile Plains.
She said there was no concern about where the woman visited on the Sunshine Coast, but contact tracing would be done for the Eight Mile Plains area.
Ms Palaszczuk said she was on high alert.ief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said the woman aged in her 50s flew on a Virgin flight VA 925 on December 16 arriving in Brisbane Airport at 9.30am
Anyone who was on that flight should immediately get tested if they develop any symptoms at all.
Dr Young said authorities were contacting anyone on that plane who is high risk.
Anyone who attended The Glen Hotel after 11.30am on Wednesday, December 16 and develops symptoms should also get tested.
"We are contact tracing people who did attend lunch - they're who we're most concerned about," she said.
Dr Young said the woman went to Prince Charles Hospital to get tested and minimised her contact with other people while in Queensland and during her trip back to Sydney.
"She did stop along the way but she managed her interactions very well," she said.
"I'm confident that we are broadly contact tracing and we will find anyone who came into contact with that individual."
Dr Young said authorities would watch "very very carefully" as the situation unfolds in Sydney, with cases beyond the Northern Beaches but still linked to that cluster.
"It's timely to remind people to reconsider any unnecessary travel to Sydney for the time being."
Dr Young said it was possible other areas could be declared hotspots if the virus spread throughout Sydney.
Dr Young said the advice remained that anyone with any symptoms that could be related to COVID-19 needed to get tested immediately.
She said it was highly likely there would be more cases linked to the Sydney Northern Beaches cluster.
Dr Young said anyone who had been in the Northern Beaches from December 11 needed to be honest, remain where they are and go into immediate quarantine.
She also urged people to remain vigilant over the Christmas period.
"We just have to continue to be really cautious and we have to be sensible as we go through the next few weeks," she said.
"This is a rapidly evolving situation in the Northern Beaches that could spread throughout the rest of Sydney."
Deputy Police Steve Gollschewski said police would be meeting with every plane flying into Brisbane amid the cluster.
He said passengers will be checked as they disembark.
NSW Gladys Berejiklian earlier revealed the confirmed case from NSW was tested in Queensland after learning of the outbreak in Sydney's Northern Beaches and drove back to Sydney.
During the trip back, they discovered they had tested positive to COVID.
It comes as the Sydney clusters grow to 28 after 10 new cases overnight.
People are rushing to Sydney Airport in a desperate bid to leave the city ahead of Christmas with the threat of more border closures looming.
The outbreak has triggered stay-at-home orders for three days for 250,000 people in the Northern Beaches Local Government area.
Ms Berejiklian confirmed the source of the outbreak came from an overseas strain. How locals became infected remains unknown.

Recently, I sat down with Rafael De Armas of the AdMobilize Team to learn more about their unique advertising product called AdBeacon. AdMobilize is disrupting the traditional advertising space by offering something everyone wants but doesn’t know how to get – viewer data. Until now, actual data on viewership for many traditional advertising mediums have been impossible to get. How many people actually looked at our billboard? How many people saw our Sale banner and came in? How many people are actually watching our screens as advertising ads run? Questions like these have remained unanswered until now. AdMobilize is trying to revolutionize traditional marketing by finally providing answers to the tough questions.

India lauds safe passage
Offer to Northern civilians:
India on Thursday lauded the Sri Lankan Government’s announcement of
granting a safe passage to civilians trapped in the northern parts of
the island and hoped that the conditions of civilians will improve in
days to come.
Shiv Shankar Menon
“The Government of India welcomes this important announcement and
hopes that with the implementation of these steps, the condition of the
civilians caught up in the conflict, will improve,” Foreign Secretary
Shiv Shankar Menon told reporters late Thursday night.
Menon was reacting to the announcement by President Mahinda Rajapaksa
that he has urged the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to allow
free movement of civilians trapped in northern areas to ensure their
safety and security.
“We are happy to see the steps that are being taken by Sri Lanka and
we hope that all these civilians would now be able to move to safety,”
Menon said while stressing that the safety of civilians figured
prominently in discussions between External Affairs Minister Pranab
Mukherjee with President Rajapaksa when the former visited Colombo this
“And for all the civilians, he (Rajapaksa) has assured a safe passage
to a secure environment and also assured all those living in the
northern and conflict areas in particular, that vacating the LTTE-held
areas will ensure their physical security and enable peace, freedom and
rights for all citizen of the country,” Menon said.
“We understand that necessary instructions to this effect, to enable
the implementation of these steps, have been given,” he added.
Menon’s remarks come amid concerns expressed after political parties
in Tamil Nadu about the plight of Tamil civilians caught in the conflict
between the government troops and the LTTE.
When Mukherjee visited Colombo on Tuesday, President Rajapaksa told
him that he had invited Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and
AIDMK leader J. Jayalalitha to Sri Lanka to persuade the Tigers to lay
down their arms and enter into the democratic mainstream.
Mukherjee said the humanitarian situation in the northern war-zone
came up for discussion and President Rajapaksa assured him that his
Government would minimise civilian sufferings.
“In course of our discussions, President Rajapaksa agreed to expand
the safe zones and also ensure that there is no shelling, firing in the
safe zone,” Mukherjee told reporters in New Delhi soon his return on
“He (Rajapaksa) appealed to all concerned to allow the civilians to
go to the safe zones so that food, shelter, medicine and safety could be
provided to them,” he said.
“We further requested and the President agreed to ensure that the
relief material, which we are sending, reaches the persons who are
affected by the impact of this conflict,” Mukherjee had said.

Have you seen Dr. Izabela Musial?
April 2nd, 2017Izabela Musial, thank you for caring
February 10th, 2016
November 19th, 2015
I came from Chicago Ill., about 5 years ago an c recommendation was very high to see Dr. Musial, so I've been a patient since 2015. She is a doctor that will given you "true" attention with hope and speaking positive language with the proper direction and understanding of your concern. I highly recommend Dr. Musial, if your new in town, transferring doctors, or just come in for a meet and greet. Her staff is young with a caring concern at my age of 54 years old. Dr. Musial in her days off goes to visit people in prison, prayers for people to speak healing where all feels right and comfortable at the perfect moment. She is different from the rest of the doctors because in my opinion she was blessed by the Mighty One to care for people (YOU) on this earth. When you leave her office you have hope and the desire to move further. Thank you Doctor Musial but most of all your STAFF in the office works great together, my hats off to; William, Martha and the rest of your mighty hands of care. Be blessed my friends.

Excellent Doctor! She spends time addressing concerns, answers my questions and Praise the Lord she is a God loving women that allows herself to be led by The Lord to help you heal physically and spiritually. I have recommended her to my family and friends and will continue to do so! I appreciate that she is not a pill pusher and perfers to take the holistic approach, which is natural and the way that God intended us to be healed! God bless you Dr. Musial!
August 7th, 2015Excellent and caring
July 26th, 2015
Very nice person, but does not spend enough time listening to important ailments, that became worse because I was ignored and untreated for serious ailments at wellness visit on three separate visits.
December 26th, 2014
Dr. Musial cares about her patients and takes as much time with you as you need.
April 30th, 2014Blessed
March 18th, 2014RN
February 25th, 2014A good doctor who cares about her patients
This doctor is exceptional in that she knows how to help patients get well. She helped me when I was dealing with radiation fatigue when no other doctor seemed to care about the side effects. She showed me how to detox to get my body working again. I am now doing very well thanks to Dr. Musial's expert medical knowledge. As for the praying complaints....none of that here. I will take a praying doctor with faith over one who treats me like a number.
February 4th, 2014
I absolutely love this Dr. She is exactly what I have been searching for. Someone who truly cares and is in no rush to be done in "15 mins". She is so caring. I am seeing these reviews and i am in shock. She is an angel and i am so thankful for finding her! Another plus for me is that she does not try to cover your problems with medications she gives you a different option. I LOVE YOU DR.MUSIAL

COVID propaganda is similar to war propaganda. Actually, in many respects they are one and the same since the war is being waged against us all in both cases.
Consider the similarities:
The truth about the war on Syria (or Ukraine etc. etc. etc.) is available but suppressed, just as the truth about COVID is available but suppressed.
The war lies about Syria are amplified and repeated just as the lies about COVID are amplified and repeated.
Those who tell the truth about Syria are defamed and censored just as those who tell the truth about COVID are defamed and censored.
Fake experts are given legitimacy in the case of COVID and Syria, as the real experts are suppressed.
Mainstream journalists are either script-reading stenographers in the case of COVID and Syria and/or non-script-reading establisment narrative regurgitators.
In both cases (Syria and COVID) the toxic lie prevails and we all suffer.
The fact that the truth about COVID is making inroads now is largely due to the fact that people are more aware from personal experience that the jabs are harmful. The jabs are impacting them personally and directly. — Mark Taliano

I am here today celebration this important day to celebrate because of this The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO STAY HEALTHY AS THE CORONAVIRUS HITS THE US, JUST STUDY THE FACTS AND AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY PANIC AND MISINFORMATION.
There’s a lot of misinformation hitting the Internet about the coronavirus. So we’re here to bring you the coronavirus facts so you stay informed and, more importantly, stay healthy.
Did you hear the one about 38 percent of Americans won’t drink Corona beer because of the coronavirus? Two misnomers there: Firstly, the coronavirus has nothing to do with Corona beer. Drink on. Secondly, that was a misleading stat picked up by almost every major news outlet in America because some journalists don’t do research anymore. As The Atlantic points out, “the original press release from 5WPR notes that in a survey of 737 beer-drinking Americans, 38 percent said they ‘would not buy Corona under any circumstances now.’”

By Emil Danielyan and Anna SaghabalianRaffi Hovannisian, a prominent Armenian opposition politician, on Friday strongly condemned the arrest and prosecution of Turkish historian Yektan Turkyilmaz, saying that it is dealing a “powerful blow” to the long-running efforts at international recognition of the Armenian genocide.
He charged that by seeking to imprison Turkyilmaz on smuggling charges the Armenian authorities have exposed their “false patriotism” and serious problems with the rule of law in the country.
“It is hard to imagine a more powerful blow to international affirmation of the Armenian genocide than this trial,” Hovannisian told RFE/RL as he attended the second court hearing on the case in an apparent show of solidarity with the jailed scholar.
“In my view, real patriotism means the laws of the Republic of Armenia that deal with smuggling, corruption, espionage and high treason should be enforced equally against all citizens, including the current president, members of his family as well as all the ministers and their relatives,” he said.
Turkyilmaz, who researched Ottoman history at the National Archive in Yerevan, was charged with deliberately attempting to smuggle rare Armenian books to Turkey last June. However, even individuals convicted of more serious smuggling have rarely ended up in jail in Armenia. Hence, growing questions about reasons for the unusually harsh punishment sought by the Armenian law-enforcement authorities.
Hovannisian, who served as Armenia’s first foreign minister in 1991-92 and now leads an opposition party called Zharangutyun (Heritage), believes that the scholar was simply not aware of Armenian customs regulations. “I think Yektan violated the Armenian laws apparently without realizing that,” he said. “Let him and his colleagues know and respect those laws from now on. They must also be free to access our state archive. The matter should not have reached the court in the first place.”
Similar arguments have been made by more than 200 Turkish, U.S. and Armenian scholars that have signed an open letter to President Robert Kocharian calling for their colleague’s immediate release. Kocharian has still not reacted to the letter.
Among its signatories is Richard Hovannisian, the Zharangutyun leader’s father and a prominent U.S. historian of Armenian descent. He has even offered to post bail to secure Turkyilmaz’s release pending trial. The U.S.-born ex-minister said the authorities not only rejected the offer but also reneged on their pledge to allow his father to visit Turkyilmaz in a maximum security jail in Yerevan.
Incidentally, the letter to Kocharian was initiated by prominent Turkish intellectuals who openly challenge Ankara’s continuing denial of the Armenian genocide. Turkyilmaz, who is an ethnic Kurd, has also questioned the official Turkish line on the mass killings of Armenians in 1915-1918. Fluent in Armenian, he became last May the first Turkish historian to be granted access to the Armenian archive.
“The vast majority of Turks who signed the open letter to President Kocharian have pro-Armenian views,” said Rober Hadeller, editor of Istanbul’s Armenian-language “Marmara” daily. “They want the guy to be set free as soon as possible.”
Speaking to RFE/RL by phone, Hadeller said he and other prominent Istanbul Armenians agree with their demands. “The crime which he is accused of having committed doesn’t seem that serious to us,” he said. “After all, he claims to have bought those books in a market. One is left to wonder if there are some other motives behind this case that are unknown to us.”
The Turkish government has not yet officially reacted to its citizen’s arrest. But according to the “Marmara” editor, the issue is being increasingly covered by the Turkish press. “Everyone is wondering why the Armenian authorities have resorted to such a strict measure against the first Turkish historian who worked with the Armenian archives,” he said. “The fact that his notes and research documents were also confiscated is seen as the most outrageous.”
Hovannisian, meanwhile, suggested that Ankara could exploit the case to substantiate its claims that Yerevan has not opened its genocide-related archives and is hampering independent scholarly research of Armenian history. “In essence, this is a serious propaganda victory for the party denying the genocide and a serious defeat for the people who suffered the genocide,” he said. “As a citizen of this country, I feel ashamed while following the court proceedings.”
