What is the Gottorfer Codex?
The Gottorfer Codex consists of four large books filled with flower paintings. Each volume has around one hundred pages with approx. three paintings on each page. So there are around 1200 flower paintings in all.
The paintings are of a very high quality and seem to a very large extent to have been based on real flowers. Their details are so realistic that botanists in most cases have been able to identify every plant precisely.
A precious work
The Gottorfer Codex is a very precious work. Today of course, it’s priceless, but even when it was produced in the 17th century it was very precious. Only very wealthy princes could afford such a comprehensive and precious work.
Gottorp Castle in Slesvig
The Gottorfer Codex originates from the library at Gottorp Castle in Slesvig, hence the name. Codex is merely the old, latin word for a book. The flower paintings documented the duke of Gottorp’s famous flower garden right outside the castle. In the 17th century it was the most famous of its kind in Northern Germany.
How did the Gottorfer Codex end up in the Royal Collection of Graphic Art?
The books were part of the spoil of war after the Great Northern War in the beginning of the 18th century. Danish troops occupied the duchy Gottorp in 1713 and after the peace in 1720, Gottorp was included in the Danish kingdom. Both the famous cabinet of curiosities on Gottorp Castle as well as the comprehensive library (of which the Gottorper Codex was a part) were sent to Copenhagen. The Gottorper Codex became part of the Royal Library. When the Royal Collection of Graphic Art was separated from the Royal Library in the 19th century, the Gottorper Codex came with it.

When choosing a set of snow tires, there are different types to choose from. For example, you may see tires that say “M+S”, which stands for “mud and snow”. On other tires you may see a small symbol with a snowflake on a mountain, in which case your car will be better prepared to face harsh winter conditions. Here is what this symbol means.
This is what the symbol of the mountain with 3 peaks means
RELATED: What Temperature Is Too Hot for Winter Tires?
The 3-Peak Mountain (3PMS) symbol on a tire means it has been tested for acceleration in medium-packed snow and meets specific standards. According to Family handyman, tires that meet the 3PMS criteria scored at least a 110 on the traction index. This means that “they accelerate at least 10% faster than a typical all-season tire that is not rated 3PMS,” the publication reports.
Although you may not have noticed, these specially rated tires have been around for quite some time. In fact, the US Tire Manufacturers Association and the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada developed the 3PMS symbol in 1999. Since then, tire manufacturers have been required to meet symbol standards in the United States, Canada and Europe. .
How are 3PMS tires different from regular snow tires?
Tires with the 3PMS rating use a softer compound that does not harden in sub-zero temperature reports Tire carriers. They also have special tread patterns with distinctive cross-cuts on the surface called “sipes”. These cuts contribute to the tire’s traction on snowy roads.
If you’re looking for a set of snow tires, you should be able to find some with the 3-Peak Mountain symbol from popular manufacturers like Goodyear, Michelin, Hankook, Nokian, Toyo, BF Goodrich, Yokohama, Kumho, Nitto and Vredestein . Also, retailers like Tire Rack normally stock these types of tires, so it should be easy to find them online for your car.
Can 3PMS tires be used all year round?
Technically, yes. Tires with the 3-Peak Mountain symbol are generally all-season tires that use the softer rubber compound. Although they won’t perform as well as summer tires when the weather gets hot, you can still use them in the middle of the year. This eliminates the need to swap tires between seasons, which can significantly reduce time and cost.
Some of the most popular tires are Michelin X-ICE, Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires.
Where can we find the symbol of the mountain with 3 peaks?
If you look at the sidewall of the tire, you will be able to spot the small symbol with the snowflake and the mountain peak on it. These types of tires are well worth the extra money you could spend on them, especially if you live in sub-zero climates during the winter.
And while non-3PMS tires will likely get you through the winter just fine, these purpose-built and tested tires are second to none. Of course, if you can’t find them for your specific vehicle application, a mud and snow tire should work just as well.

The German-Jewish Soldiers of the First World War in History and Memory

In his study, Grady has provided a commendable contribution to the history of the Jewish war veterans in Germany, in particular during the interwar years. He illustrates the opinions of both non-Jewish Germans towards their Jewish fellow-citizens as well as Jewish interpretations of their own position in contemporary German history.
Klaus-Peter Friedrich Zeitschrift fur Geschichtswissenschaft, 61 Jahrgan, Heft 4
Grady has done a great deal in this book, done it well, and those interested in Germany’s memory culture owe him their thanks.

Grady’s book presents many illuminating examples and carefully chosen quotations. The six chapters are clearly structured and draw upon a broad base of original source material, including newspapers, personal memoirs, and official documents from communal archives.
Matthias Hambrock The American Historical Review, vol 117, no 5
An interesting subject, well treated. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General collections, graduate students, and faculty.
This is a thought-provoking book. Many readers will remember their fathers’ participation in the First World War and the medals they earned and wore with pride. Alas, although they had hoped that these medals would protect them once the Nazis came to power, this was not to be. I should add that this book is written entirely with West Germany in mind. In East Germany (the DDR), where culpability for the Nazi crimes was never acknowledged, it would have been a very different story.
Leslie Baruch Brent Association of Jewish Refugees, Vol. 12, No. 2
Tim Grady has written a compelling book, exceptional both in its interpretations and the importance of its subject matter. His research is a major contribution to our knowledge of both German attitudes towards Jews between World War One and the early years of the Federal Republic, and of Jewish perceptions of their place in German society.
A fine addition to our understanding of German Jewish history in the period of the First World War and in its aftermath, full of clearly written and interesting detail and impressive research.

During their Christmas holiday in Hawaii, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom showed the world that their love is stronger than ever by engaging in a fun activity with his son, Flynn. They went snorkelling together, taking their relationship to the next level and creating lasting memories while enjoying their family vacation under the sun.
Katy looked absolutely breathtaking in a pink one-piece swimsuit embellished with rhinestones. She confidently showed off her well-toned body while spending quality time at the beach with Orlando and his son Flynn. This vacation is a clear indication that their relationship is going strong after getting back together earlier in the year. It’s worth noting that Katy and Orlando had dated previously in 2016.
According to a snapshot taken by Splash News, while the singer was present, Orlando playfully swam around their feet.
Their relationship came to an end in March 2017, but recent sources reveal that they have reignited their romance after a delightful trip to the Maldives in February. Katy appears eager to give their love another chance, and it seems she cannot fully let him go. They are taking things at a steady pace and keeping their relationship discreet. It is undeniable that he still harbors deep affection for her.
At the beginning of this year, the pair reignited their love story after separating in 2017.
With his charming little boy Flynn by his side, the handsome Tinseltown star set out on an adventure.
Katy and Orlando confirmed that they were reunited in February.
Katie recently checked on her relationship status with Orlando. The couple’s romance began in 2016 when they were spotted enjoying each other’s company at a Golden Globes afterparty. In March of the following year, they announced their decision to take some time apart from each other, but they remained respectful and friendly throughout the process. Both parties demonstrated maturity during the break. Towards the end of 2019, they were seen together at an Ed Sheeran concert and went paddleboarding together in California. However, sources have confirmed that they officially restarted their relationship this year. It is worth noting that Katy has a history of rekindling relationships with her exes, as she had reconciled with John Mayer five times before finally ending things in January 2016.

Sirena is a Canadian-designed and engineered vacuum cleaner featuring state-of-the-art water-based filtration system. Sirena uses water as its filter. Separator technology forces air into the water, keeping dirt from being exhausted into your air. Dirt is trapped within the water. The air in your home is water-washed, and returned fresh and clean.
Water-based filtration technology for superior cleaning performance
Unlike traditional vacuum cleaners, Sirena doesn't
require bags to collect dust and dirt. A large 3.5L basin filled with
water is where all dust and dirt gets trapped. Water never clogs the way
most bags, or filters in bagless vacuums, do. Sirena cleans 100% of the time — at 100% efficiency.
When the air is pulled inside, it is forced to pass through the water
where the contaminants (e.g. dust, pet hair, dust mite droppings, etc.)
are trapped in a swirling bath of water. A rapidly spinning separator
prevents the water from entering the motor. The air is then forced
through a washable HEPA filter
which retains anything that didn't get trapped in the water (usually
less than 0.01% of all particles). Finally, the clean, water-washed air
is exhausted back into the room.
Any pet owner will agree that pet hair can be a nuisance. Not only will
it stick to nearly every surface in your home, it makes cleaning a
nightmare. Pet hair can also cause or exacerbate allergies. Traditional
vacuums lose cleaning efficiency very quickly as pet hair clogs the air
holes. Sirena's water-based filtration is the ultimate answer to pet hair problems

Protos Biofuels’ first commercial-scale municipal waste-to-biofuels plant progresses
Protos Biofuels, a project developed by Advanced Biofuel Solutions Ltd and Greenergy, has announced that its first project to transform municipal waste into advanced biofuels has moved to the initial engineering design (FEED) phase.
Petrofac was appointed to deliver the FEED, with Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) to supply the gasifier which converts household waste into syngas (syngas); Proval to design the direct current plasma arc furnace that will be used to clean the syngas; and Wood to license their VESTA process which will convert syngas into biomethane and biohydrogen.
The commercial-scale Protos plant will incorporate ABSL’s RadGas process technology and be the first to produce grid-grade biomethane and biohydrogen from municipal waste. Located at the Protos site in North West England, the project site is part of HyNet North West, one of the UK’s leading industrial decarbonisation projects.
Due to be completed in 2025, the project will divert 150,000 tonnes of household waste per year, the amount produced by a major city, from landfill and incineration, converting it into low-carbon renewable fuel.
By using waste as a raw material, the plant will avoid 160,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, equivalent to the emissions of 107,000 cars, by replacing fossil fuels with alternative fuels made from waste. and carbon dioxide capture.
Martin Hopkins, Project Manager for Protos Biofuels, said, “We are excited to bring the first commercial-scale municipal waste-based biofuel plant to the FEED stage. Through Petrofac, SFW, Proval and Wood, we are bringing together world-class partners to develop a world-leading project to decarbonize transport. Once completed, the plant will play a vital role in delivering UK’s zero emissions and energy security strategies. »

A confidential report on problems at the Southern District Health Board reveals some of the reasons behind the board's sacking.
Radio New Zealand has obtained the draft report by the chief executive of the Nelson Marlborough DHB, Chris Fleming, which concluded there was an urgent need to fix the Southern DHB board's operations and reform the way the DHB managed its finances.
Health Minister Jonathan Coleman yesterday dismissed the board and replaced it with a commissioner, saying he lost confidence in it after it predicted deficits next year surpassing $30 million.
Mr Fleming spent two weeks reviewing the Southern DHB's financial operations in March.
His report said the board had not been presenting a strong, consistent and united voice to the community, staff and Government about what it was doing, and especially the tough calls needed to get its finances in order.
He pointed to controversial board decisions about neurosurgery services and the outsourcing of hospital kitchens, some of which have been reversed under community pressure.
Mr Fleming said unless the board took decisive actions and backed its managers to the hilt, staff were reluctant to propose vital long-term, beneficial changes for fear of the reaction.
Mr Fleming also found systematic deficiencies with the DHB's financial and budget setting processes.
The board only saw monthly financial reports five weeks after the end of a month, which was too slow if any urgent correction was required. That same reporting only took three weeks at his own DHB.
The report also found the annual budget was months behind where it should be so a draft budget went to the minister with mistakes and sections unchallenged by the board.
Mr Fleming said the way the annual budget was built up was flawed and needed to be overhauled.
He also said the board was counting $10 million in vacancy savings - money saved from not filling jobs - but that was a dubious practice because the savings were uncertain.
Mr Fleming said there may be some under-funding of the DHB, but it needed to let other people sort that out, not it as an excuse for failing to fixing its internal problems.
A Southern DHB spokesperson said it regarded the report as only a draft, which will not be finalised for another two weeks.
He said DHB management was challenging some of the figures, and expected the mistakes to be corrected.
However, it is not yet commenting on the main criticisms.
Long term solutions
One of three comissioners appointed to the troubled health board is promising they won't be taking a slash and burn approach to services.
Richard Thomson, who was an elected member of the sacked board, told Morning Report it had been under enormous financial pressure for several years and that had led to short-term thinking.
"I think we're going to have to look at how services are structured - I don't think that's in any doubt.
"But I think the government has given us a clear indication that it is not looking for us to go in and slash and burn and do a short term fix that will not actually solve the long term problem."
A member of the former board, John Chambers, said it struggled to get accurate information about the financial situation.
Dr Chambers says the financial team had been under pressure after cut-backs and management often had trouble producing figures in a timely manner.
He said board members were constantly being surprised by shortfalls in some areas, often amounting to hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars.

Banana Bread was something I always looked forward to my Mother baking about once a month and the best thing about her bread above anyone else’s I have ever tasted, it had no nuts. Don’t get me wrong, sure banana bread is very good with nuts in it, a lot of people prefer it that way, just not me. Heck, if you wanted to, you could also add some mini- chocolate chips into the batter. Anyway you slice it, I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
2 Cups + 2 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Saigon Cinnamon
1 1/2 Cups Ripe Mashed Bananas
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter, melted
1 tsp. Beanilla Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans, optional
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line with parchment paper a glass 9 x 5 x 3 inch pan or, 2 glass 71/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 inch loaf pans. set aside.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Wisk to combine, also set aside.
In another medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mashed Bananas. Add flour mixture to wet mixture stirring just to moisten the batter. The batter should be a bit lumpy at this point. Fold in the nuts, pour batter into your prepared loaf pans.
Bake 60- 75 minutes for a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan or 50-65 minutes for the 2 smaller loaf pans. Or, until a wooden skewer / toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Note: If necessary, cover loosely with a foil tent the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent over browning of the top of your bread.
Once out of the oven, cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan, completely cool on the wire rack. Then wrap in plastic and let set over night on counter top.
Serves: 8 – 16

Cavs’ LeBron James becomes 7th player in NBA history with 11,000 career field goals
Congratulations are in order for LeBron James on another record-setting performance! James just added to his list of numerous accolades versus the Washington Wizards on Thursday night. James became the 7th player in NBA history to record 11,000 career field goals, joining another elite club of the league’s greatest players.
— NBA (@NBA) February 23, 2018
Entering the Wizards game, LeBron James was only eight field goals away (10,992) from 11,000. He recorded his eighth field goal during the 4th quarter with the Cavaliers trailing 97-89. Going up against Otto Porter Jr. on the right wing, the 2018 All-Star Game MVP drove baseline and converted on a layup with 5:54 left in the ballgame. He went on to make five more field goals in the game, bringing his career total to 11,005.
Other players who recorded 11,000 filed goals include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (15,837), Karl Malone (13,528), Wilt Chamberlain (12,681), Michael Jordan (12,192), Kobe Bryant (11,719), and Shaquille O’Neal (11,330).
The Cavaliers have 25 games remaining in the season and James is unlikely to catch up to O’Neal for the number six spot until the 2018-19 season.
LeBron James is now the 7th player in NBA history to record 11,000 field goals.#CavsNation
— Kenny Honaker (@CavsNationKen) February 23, 2018
Unfortunately, Cleveland lost the game to Washington, 110-103 but it wasn’t for a lack of effort on James’ part. He narrowly missed a triple-double with 32 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals. He shot 13-of-18 from the field, but only 1-of-4 from three, and 5-of-9 from the free-throw line.
Despite the loss, the Cavs have won four of their last five games since the trade deadline that brought in four new players to the lineup.
James and the Cavs will now look to bounce back this Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road. James scored 34 points on 13-for-22 shooting from the field and dished out a dozen of dimes in the first meeting with Memphis on Dec. 2, when the Cavs took down the Grizzlies at home, 116-111.

The staff ranks on Excelsior are standard to all shards, having Counselors, Game Masters, Seers and Administrators. The head of staff is the Coordinating Administrator
The counselor position is given to beginner staffmembers who are still learning about the game itself, the basics of staffing or the particularities of Excelsior. Counselors have a small array of powers that they can use, they usually do smaller events, tour new players and help with easyer issues. Counselors are not to be confused with Council members, which are players.
A game master has all the tools for building the world, making all sorts of events. This is the basic level a staffer achieves after successfully completing their Counselor period.
Beeing a seer is sort of like beeing a Counselor before becoming a Game Master. They have seniority above Game Masters and Counselors, have some extra duties and abilities.
The Administrators have complete control over the shard and it's contents. They usually also have access to the server on which the shard is hosted, beeing able to restart it or update the functionality of the shard. One of the Administrators is the Coordinating Administrator, that person is incharge of the shard and can make all the decisions, but must listen to recommendations from players and other staffmembers.

Mangaluru, Dec 8: The protest called by VHP and Bajrang Dal has received a good response and Section 144 has been imposed at Ulaibettu, Gurupur, Vamanjoor and other areas close by to avoid untoward incidents. Traffic has come to rest.
The cops had stopped the activists of Hindu associations from entering Ulaibettu who reached there by a procession. Meanwhile, the protestors began to rush ahead and they were unsuccessful. The VHP leader Jagadish shenava, HJV leader Satyajith Suratkal, Sharan Pumpwell-convener of Bajranga Dhal failed in their efforts to pacify the protestors.
Hindu leaders arrested:
The activists of Bhajranga Dhal, HJV and VHP associations tried to move ahead into Ulaibettu violating Section 144 and hence the cops resorted to lathi charge. The cops have arrested two buses full of protestors. Many leaders such as VHP leader Jagadish shenava, Satyajith Suratkal, Prasad Attavara and others have been arrested.
Sharan Pumpwell urged the activists to return back to their homes. The protest then came to an end and the crowd began to disperse.
As of now situation is under control. People preferred to remain indoors. Strict police and KSRP vigil is deployed in these areas. Miscreants had attempted to set a bakery on fire and the timely action of cops has averted the mishap. It is gathered that four cops were also injured when they tried to control the mob.

The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com.
This week in London, Kate Moss launched her final collection for Topshop–and she did so in an outfit that will not soon be forgotten.
Wearing a low-cut formfitting sparkly jumpsuit to fete the occasion, the model chose a retro-glam outfit that was certainly daring, but of course she pulled it off. Given that her ensemble was such a statement-maker, she smartly kept her accessories to a minimum, but she did go for bold makeup, namely a bright red lip and heavy black liner.
Though Moss’ bell bottom jumpsuit isn’t part of her last collection for the fast fashion retailer, there are plenty of unique-looking pieces from her line that you can buy right now. Below are three of our favorites and to shop everything, click here.

Last Friday the Colorado Springs Police Department agreed to the demands of 12 female officers who filed a civil suit claiming the fitness tests are discriminatory. All the officers were over the age of 40.
The suit will now move to a federal court. Police Chief Pete Carey says he’s disappointed, but will abide by the judge’s decision.
‘I very firmly stand behind physical fitness tests for our officers. I think what I’m asking them to do is fair and my hope is a federal judge also agrees with this,’ Carey said.
The police test consists of two running exams. Officers also have to do 52 push-ups in 2 minutes, and 45 sit-ups, also in 2 minutes.

Having swapped the rugby pitch for the world of financial services, Toner is forging a new path following his retirement from the sport earlier this year.
The former lock made made 280 appearances for Leinster and earned 70 international caps for Ireland. The Meath native was involved in four Champions Cup-winning teams and claimed three Six Nations title as a player – including the 2018 Grand Slam.

The meeting will begin at 11am and Mr. Adams will be available to speak to the media afterwards. Also on the delegation will be Mary Lou McDonald MEP, Martin McGuinness MP and MLA Caitríona Ruane.
Speaking in advance of the meeting Dublin MEP Mary Lou McDonald said:
"Tomorrow's meeting with the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will discuss the upcoming talks in Scotland. The 24th November deadline has brought a much-needed focus on the political process and I believe it is possible to get business can be done by that date. I believe that the political institutions can be restored and agreement reached in relation to all of the outstanding issues. However this will only happen if people go into this with the right attitude and not scramble about for excuses and obstacles as the deadline for progress approaches."ENDS

- Arizona will begin fall camp this week, and there will be plenty of question marks that will need answers for Rich Rodriguez and his staff heading into the first game next month against UNLV. Get a look at the upcoming fall camp schedule and the key dates to remember heading into the season.
- One of the most talked about topics this fall will be the quarterback position and who will be earning that job when the time comes for Rodriguez to pick a starter. There are some options UA has this year and heading into the fall Rodriguez feels comfortable with where things are at even though no starter has been named.
He spoke about the quarterback battle, and we have his thoughts on it in this week's War Room.
- Arizona started the month of July with a few commitments over a short amount of time, and it picked up another one Sunday to give the 'Cats four for the month. The latest one wasn't too much of a surprise, but it did come quickly as three-star offensive lineman Cody Creason made his decision only a couple days after his unofficial visit to Tucson on Friday.
We have more from the Folsom, Calif., recruit discussing why he picked UA and moved his decision up inside the War
- The busiest month for basketball recruiting is now over as there were numerous recruits to watch and games to attend over the last five days. Las Vegas was the main hub for watching those prospects and GOAZCATS.com kept an eye on a lot of them.
The 2015 class is the one schools are working on now and Arizona still has plenty of spots to fill in that group. Because of that the Wildcats' coaching staff was out in full force throughout the week watching prospects from that class. We take a look at some of the notable ones inside and how they looked during the various events.

Researchers in Japan are testing a new medication that would let people regrow teeth. It’s already worked on mice. They’ll start testing it on humans next year, and it could be available by 2030………….. A group at Baylor University in Texas broke a weird world record for a good cause this month by lining up 1,203 sleeping bags in a row. They’ll all be handed out to homeless veterans this winter…..And finally…………….
In CA, 19-year-old Caleb Delasantos was driving home from watching fireworks on the 4th when he saw someone’s garage on fire. So he pulled over and ran into their house to make sure they got out. The couple who live there got their dog out, and nobody was hurt. Caleb also got them to move their cars, so those didn’t go up, then he grabbed a hose and started spraying the garage so the flames didn’t spread to the house. He left before they could thank him, but his mom brought him back the next day after she heard what he did. She also started a GoFundMe for them to help pay for the damages. It looks like a stray firework might have started the blaze, but firefighters are still investigating.

A House DVD'd
Criterion and Rooster Teeth give you something worth wishing for
Tokyo StoryCriterion Collection, $39.95 (Blu-ray + DVD)
Gifting a Criterion release to a lover of cinema can be filed under "no-brainer." But this Blu-ray re-release of the Yasujiro Ozu classic is a must-have. Exactly how classic is Tokyo Story? Well, in the latest Sight & Sound poll of the greatest films of all time, Ozu is the only director to have two films in the Top 20, with Tokyo Story losing out only to Vertigo and Citizen Kane.
This is a perfect storm for Ozu, who never tired of depicting everyday family life, his camera humbly near the floor, with frames impeccably constructed in the repeated rectangles of shoji panels. The film stars two of the director's favorite actors: Chishu Ryu as the reserved and kindly patriarch and Setsuko Hara, the widowed daughter-in-law. Ryu radiates emotion with every wrinkle in his face as his onscreen children make him and his wife feel like nuisances.
Ozu tells a universal tale with his unique cinematic voice. With its paper-thin story and leisurely pace, Tokyo Story is at once unassuming and devastating.


Those who decry “cancel culture” are actually highlighting the power they hold, and the dissimilarity between being cancelled and being silenced.
Once upon a time (around 2017, if memory serves me correctly), the victims of sexual abuse, harassment, and humiliation overwhelmingly stayed silent about what had been done to them. They said nothing because they had been taught (groomed?) to internalize the behavior of their perpetrator and be ashamed that such a thing had happened to them.
They kept quiet because they had been taught (groomed?) since birth to accept that women – and, it seems, children – were vessels of temptation and that anything men did to them was all their own fault. They knew that if they did speak up they would not be believed, or, worse, be blamed and shunned. They knew this because the few who did speak experienced all that and worse.
After all, it was in the perpetrator’s interest to make sure that victims knew what they would suffer if they came forward. The brave few who did report their assault mostly did not go to court or, if they did, lost their cases. Only 1 in 10 reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia [in the United States, it’s even less, only 1% lead to felony convictions]. And, even if they did win their case, victims were silenced by law, prevented on pain of legal sanction from speaking up about the abuse they suffered. As a result of determined campaigning by survivors like journalist Nina Funnell and 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame, these laws have been changing, but they have still not fallen everywhere. This legal silencing allows survivors’ stories to be warped and manipulated without comeback.
The #MeToo movement has changed a lot of this, including the rights of victims to own their own stories. Women, in their millions, sloughed off the shame they had carried – some for decades – and finally placed it where it belonged – in the laps of their perpetrators. Powerful figures came crashing down. Named and shamed by the very people – women and men and children – who they had once considered so unimportant they could be used and abused with impunity. In my view, it has been a long-overdue reckoning made possible by the internet. Centuries-old silencing was shattered by millions of voices raised all at once.
Until shockingly recently, members of the LGBTQI community were also silenced by law. Their sexuality was literally illegal. It still is in many parts of the world. The fear and shame attached to merely being same-sex attracted left many open to blackmail and living furtive, double lives. LGBTQI people in England, for example, developed their own language so they could recognize and speak freely to members of their own community without fear of being overheard, betrayed, and arrested.
It has been a long-overdue reckoning made possible by the internet. Centuries-old silencing was shattered by millions of voices raised all at once.
Things have thankfully changed in the past few decades, but it wasn’t until 2017 (that year again) that same-sex attracted Australians gained the right to marry the person they chose. And they had to endure the indignity and pain of waiting for the results of a “postal survey” before they knew if their fellow Australians had “given” them that right or not. The whole concept of “coming out” is predicated on the silencing of an entire community.
For generations, light-skinned POC “passed.” In other words, they allowed themselves to be identified as white so they could avoid the prejudice attached to their racial identity and access the privileges that go with being thought European. They silenced themselves about their origins and family background. The fear and pain of that can barely be imagined. Today, POC remain at high risk of being silenced by incarceration or even death. 434 Aboriginal Australians have died in custody since 1991. BLM is a movement that is all about refusing to stay silent in the face of oppression, brutality and actual murder.
Contrast this with the loud complaints of “cancel culture” we are currently hearing from those on the right, often men with huge platforms, powerful positions, accolades, awards, and prestige aplenty. They are being “cancelled” or “silenced” they claim because – um – and this is the bit I am not quite so clear about – people criticize their opinions these days. Some of them are even quite rude! Granted, some people have lost their jobs as a consequence of something they have said or done publicly. But employment and publication are not “rights.” They are responsibilities, they have always entailed expectations about behavior and consequences.
Far too often, it is the victim of poor behavior who has been forced to leave their job, rather than the perpetrator. Some powerful people have been publicly exposed and their reputations tainted and opportunities curtailed. A few have been accused, charged, tried, and convicted – like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein – but surely no one is arguing that crimes can be committed and protected by silence?
When those who had previously been ruthlessly silenced – by brutality, shame, intimidation, and the law – started to speak, most of us started to listen and we have learned a very great deal about how power and privilege work. Many of us, and I include myself in this, have had to think harder before we speak or risk being criticized – even occasionally, insulted – for our thoughtlessness and assumptions. But this isn’t “silencing,” it’s a wake-up call. When privileged white people like me were protected from the consequences of our words, actions, and prejudices, we lived in ignorance. Ignorance that caused suffering and harm. Maybe we actually need to shut up sometimes and listen to what we have previously been blind to.
We’re not being “silenced.” We’ve lost some share of voice, that is all, and not before time.

Shares of Chinese electrical cars and truck manufacturer nio stock news (NIO 0.44%) were rolling this morning on relatively no company-specific news. Rather, capitalists might be reacting to news from the other day that some parts of China were experiencing a rise in COVID-19 instances.
A lot more lockdowns in the nation might once again slow down the company‘s car production as it has in the recent past. Therefore, financiers pressed the electrical automobile (EV) stock down 6.6% since 10:59 a.m. ET.
CNBC reported the other day that the variety of cities in China that have carried out COVID-related restrictions has actually increased. One of the areas is a district called Anhui, where Nio has a manufacturing facility.
Nio reported its second-quarter vehicle shipments late last week, with quarterly automobile deliveries up 14% year over year as well as June deliveries raising 60%. Part of that development was aided in part because pandemic limitations were relieved during that duration.
China has an extremely rigorous “zero-COVID” plan that restricts activity by residents and has led to manufacturing facilities for Nio, as well as other EV manufacturers, stopping vehicle production.
Nio financiers have gotten on a wild ride lately as they refine inflation information, climbing fears of an international economic crisis, and increasing coronavirus situations in China. And with the most current information that some parts of China are experiencing brand-new lockdowns, it’s likely that the volatility Nio’s stock has actually experienced recently isn’t ended up right now.
Nio investors ought to maintain a close eye on any new advancements concerning any type of temporary factory closures or if there’s any type of indication from the Chinese government that it’s scaling back on restrictions.
Should you invest $1,000 in Nio Inc. right now?
Before you take into consideration Nio Inc., you’ll intend to hear this.

The President, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, Jean-Claude Brou, on Tuesday, enjoined citizens of member States to be vigilant about monkeypox.
Brou gave the advice while presenting the commission’s report on the implementation of the Community Work Programme at this year’s First Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Parliament, in Abuja.
According to him,the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) is currently monitoring the development of the virus’ outbreak and evolving measure aimed at containing its spread.
“We have 36 confirmed cases of monkeypox in some member states (I will not mention their names), there are some suspected cases, and two deaths have occurred already.
“Unlike COVID-19, this disease is contracted by close contact with an infected person. The vaccine offers small protection and the medication has an impact.
“WAHO is monitoring the development of the disease to prevent a pandemic, and it is also very important for citizens to be very vigilante, keep an eye on the evolution of the disease,” he said.
Brou expressed satisfaction at the reduction in COVID-19 cases globally,a situation he said had made some countries lift movement restrictions and preventive measures.
He added that it was imperative for ECOWAS citizens to remain vigilant, and the governments to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic in addressing other diseases like monkeypox, cholera, and laser fever.
The ECOWAS president said that lessons so far learnt from the COVID-19 Pandemic,would be useful in curbing the spread of the monkey pox.
Brou listed such lessons to include strengthening health systems and building capacities for local vaccine production,
“Even though we observe improvement through the significant reduction in contamination, we need to continue to be vigilant and keep an eye on this pandemic.
“Compared to December 2021, the numbers have gone down, we have a very significant reduction in the numbers of confirmed cases. This is encouraging but let us remain vigilant.
“You will see that about eight months ago, we had about 23 million doses administered, but today we have 63 million. So there is a significant increase in the numbers of vaccinated persons.
“But let us remain vigilant and draw lessons from pandemics because there will always be pandemics.
“COVID-19 reminds us that we are not sheltered form outbreaks. Let us draw lessons from it band in particular, there are two lessons that we need to learn.
“First, we need to strengthen our health systems and make them more effective, efficient and capable of responding to difficult situations that can come up at anytime. Besides, we always have risk factors in our region.
“The second lesson is capacity for research and manufacturing of vaccines ,because COVID has shown that we were and still are lagging behind in spite of efforts that are being made to make-up for these lapses,” Brou said.
Awaji Abiante, a Member of the ECOWAS Parliament and Nigerian lawmaker representing Andoni-Opobi/Nkoro Federal Constituency of Rivers, however, decried the low level of vaccination of citizens.
Abiante said that only 17.20 per cent of West African Population had been vaccinated, calling for increased vaccination.
He also stressed the need for partnership between local and international pharmaceutical organisations on vaccine production. (NAN)

Jessica Pratt – On Your Own Love Again
Where? Berlin, Grüner Salon in the Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz,
When? Tuesday, 31st of March, at 9 PM
Since she presented the world with her debut self-titled album Jessica Pratt in 2012 through Birth Records Jessica Pratt has been gaining acknowledgement as a promising young songwriter and performer. An interlacing of a gentle melody, her caressing voice and a guitar sets up a brittleness that seduces with its austerity. There is a sadness in her words, the sadness that does not hurt you, it makes you aware of where your heart is, if there is one.
She is often perceived as a folk songwriter, but it is a hard claim to make. Her music is sensitive, emotional and kind of hippyish but could be best described as acoustic emotional pop. This is also the flow of her second, recently released album On your Own Love Again, where she sings about past and future, about endings and beginnings, the paradox of time that is constantly present.
Let Jessica Pratt’s silkiness take you somewhere between past and future on Tuesday, 31st of March at the Grüner Salon.

Peter Madden of Madden & Finucane Solicitors said at the High Court:
“It is unfortunate that we have had to resort to extensive litigation over the last three decades in order to protect and vindicate Geraldine Finucane’s rights.
“We expect that the Secretary of State will now take the only legitimate course available to him and announce a full public judicial inquiry and that we will not need to resort to further court proceedings.”
FINUCANE FAMILY PRESS STATEMENT
A decision by the UK Government on the case of the murdered Belfast solicitor, Pat Finucane, will be forthcoming on or before 30 November 2020, it was confirmed in Belfast High Court today by senior counsel for the NI Secretary of State, Brandon Lewis.
Senior counsel apologised on behalf of the Secretary of State to the Finucane family for the delay in reaching a decision about the case. In response, the family reiterated their demand for a full public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the murder of Pat Finucane.
Speaking after the announcement in Belfast, Geraldine Finucane said:
“My family and I are absolutely committed to achieving our goal of an independent public inquiry into all the circumstances surrounding Pat’s murder. We always have been. We will not be deflected or defeated by the wilful ignorance or unlawful delays of the British Government.
“As was stated during the hearing of the case, the failure to address the issues raised by the judgment of the UK Supreme Court in February 2019 was insult added to injury. Pat’s murder was the injury inflicted by the British when they colluded with Loyalists. Deliberately delaying the public inquiry adds the insult.
“The focus of my family is the public inquiry that this case demands. There is no other mechanism that is capable of getting to the truth. I expect fully that the Secretary of State will confirm on or before 30 November 2020 that a public inquiry is to be established. Nothing less will do.”

Subject: Guardian angel
Link to project deleted since Geocities closed down.
I want to make these but I can not find the head what else can I use? A friend found out(Dec 30th) her 4 year old grandaughter has cancer they have taken the kidneys and its in her liver and lungs I want to make this to hang above her bed in the hospital
[> Re: Guardian angel -- Tona, 01:00:23 01/09/08 Wed
I would use either a pearl bead or wooden bead painted white.
The pearl bead I think would be more appropriate with the other materials.
My heart goes out to this family. I can't imagine what they are going through. I will include them in my prayers. Please repost this so others can pray for her also.
[> Re: Guardian angel -- Shirttails, 08:39:11 01/09/08 Wed
My favorite for heads is found in a floral department. It is painted white grapes . These work out so well and when I clip them off the clump, I usually have a small piece of wire to use. I know Hobby Lobby has them. I also find them at Dollar Tree around Christmas. Very Inexpensive and lightweight.
[> Re: Guardian angel -- ~BETTY~ B, 11:12:31 01/09/08 Wed
You might be able to use a white styrofoam ball instead...if you wanted you could even cover the ball with some white satin ribbon or material.
[> Re: Guardian angel -- Shirleyt, 00:21:09 01/10/08 Thu
Daisy, My heart goes out to that family and little girl as well as my prayers! The angel is beautiful and those are good ideas posted. Another idea would be to use silky fabric gathered around a wad of fiberfill.
I'd like to share a little hanky angel that I made for my 4-year old granddaughter, that is very easy to make.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: anymoreVZ) is not going to offer any more unlimited data plans exceeding 100 GB data every month, and all of those who can’t stop streaming videos or searching for an Squirtle in Central Park can expect to be shut down if they don’t switch to a limited plan.
Reaching 100 GB requires a lot of work and commitment. It is the equivalent of, say, 10 hours of live streaming per day.
The company said they will start notifying this “small amount” of customers by email, asking them to migrate to managed plans, which top out at 100GB per month for $450, 15 dollars per gigabyte, while the unlimited one has a price of $50 per endless connection. Also, their biggest offer is meant to be spread out among multiple lines.
Clients receiving a warning are expending more than 100 GB on a single device. Said subscribers will be given until August 31 to switch to a new, tiered Verizon Plan, or their accounts will be suspended. If that happens, customers will have 50 days to reactivate it under another data plan.
What the company said
The company is taking action “because our network is a shared resource, and we need to ensure all customers have a great mobile experience with Verizon,” said the mobile carrier giant on a statement.
The telecom giant stopped offering unlimited plans on 2011, and, according to the company, less than 1% of users still hold on to it, and an even smaller percentage of users is burning through “extraordinary amounts of data.”
— Verizon (@verizon) July 21, 2016
The unlimited access is not denied
Verizon has implemented other anti-unlimited measures in the past, with little to no result. In 2012, they said upgrading to 4G LTE phones would force unlimited plans to shut down. It didn’t happen.
On 2014, they threatened to limit the data speeds for the heaviest users, as an option to ensure “optimal wireless experience.”This was haulted because of several questionings from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The company then ceased throttling 3G users in August 2015 when FCC’s rules prohibited carriers to downgrade internet speed of a subscriber or change in any way the levels of network access of their clients.
Their final step was a nearly symbolic change in October 2015, when they added $20 to the cost of the infinite network access. Of course this is not a Verizon-only issue, as most of the carriers are disconnecting this kind of promotions, while the global IP traffic from mobile devices is raising.
In fact, according to Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), the global IP traffic will reach 1.1 zettabyte by the end of 2016, and it will reach 2.3 ZB per year by 2020. Even more than the expected PC IP traffic.

Insuring your car, your home, and your life are common precautionary steps that many people take to make sure they’re protected in case of disaster. But did you know you can insure your spousal and child support payments as well? No? Well, you’re not alone, many people don’t realize that it’s possible. And yet there are a number of family law attorneys who recommend insuring support payments, especially in certain situations. Want to know more? Let’s take a look…
Why would you want to ensure your child and spousal support payments?
In essence, for the same reason you would ensure anything else – to make sure that the people who benefit from those items aren’t left in the lurch if something unplanned happens. For example, if a couple with two children is getting divorced, and the father earns considerably more than his wife, chances are he’s going to be paying child support and spousal support payments. There’s also a good chance that his ex and children will be relying on those payments for a long time in the future.
Life is full of unexpected bumps along the way.
What if something happens to that man whose ex wife and kids are relying on the money he provides every month? What will they do if he suddenly can’t make payments anymore? How could that happen? Think about it… what if he loses his job and isn’t able to get another one? Or the job he can get doesn’t pay nearly enough? What if he has an accident that leaves him unable to work and earn money, or worse – what if he dies unexpectedly? How will the people relying on him for support continue to survive in the face of that terrible tragedy?
This is why insuring support payments can be such a good idea!
For the parent who relies on those support payments to pay the bills, put food on the table, and meet the needs of growing children, child and spousal support payment insurance can be a life saver! Knowing that no matter what, you and your kids will be taken care of, can bring enormous peace of mind during difficult times. And for the person making the payments, the knowledge that your kids will always be provided for is a huge weight off your shoulders!
So how do you ensure your spousal and child support payments?
There are actually two options for people who are considering insuring these two types of payments – insuring them through life insurance, and through disability insurance. There are pros and cons to each one, and they are each handled differently. Join us next time for a break down of what each of these options would entail, and which might be better for you.
Do you have questions about your support settlement agreements?
Spousal and child support settlements can be complex, and are sometimes a source of great animosity. Having a highly skilled and experienced family law attorney on your side can make all the difference when working to create a fair support payment agreement that works well for your family. If you’re considering divorce, or need help structuring your child or spousal support agreement, call The Kronzek Firm today at 866 766 5245. We are here to help.

For most women, morning sickness is the first clue that they are now pregnant. The severity and timing of morning sickness varies greatly with each woman. Some have extreme bouts of it, and it begins early in pregnancy, while others barely notice it, and it doesnt really affect them very much. If you are one of those women who has a severe case, you are probably looking for cures and advice on how to deal with it.
Morning sickness usually strikes during the first trimester of pregnancy, and is thought to be caused by the wide fluctuation of hormones in a womans body. Many women handle it well, while others are knocked off their feet. For the very unlucky, morning sickness lasts for the entire pregnancy. If you are looking for a cure, your best source for information is your doctor. No matter what you try, talk it over with them first. You dont want to do anything that might harm your baby or you.
Some women handle morning sickness by watching what they eat. The tried and true method of eating crackers and drinking water when feeling sick works well for some women, and not so well for others. Morning sickness does not always occur in the morning. Some women have it all day, and late into the night. This can make life difficult, and a diet of only crackers and water is not the best for the baby.
On occasion, prenatal vitamins can make morning sickness worse. You can help alleviate this by making sure you take your vitamin on a full stomach. Take it in the middle of or after a bigger meal. That way, the vitamins arent sitting in an empty stomach. Whatever you do, do not stop taking your vitamins if they are making you feel unwell. Talk to your doctor about how they are making you feel, and try anything they may suggest to you.
You can find a lot of morning sickness cures online, but remember to talk to your doctor before trying any of them. Anything you put into your body is going to affect your unborn baby. Some remedies labeled as natural might not be good for you, no matter what they claim. Sometimes, the cure for morning sickness is as simple as taking it easy, remembering to get plenty of rest, and to lie down when you dont feel well. Heavy odors and certain foods may trigger your morning sickness, so learn what to avoid. While it can be unpleasant to have to deal with, keep in mind that morning sickness is only temporary.

(WBZ NewsRadio / ESPN) - Paul Pierce does not want the Boston Celtics to pay tribute to Isaiah Thomas on the same night his jersey is retired.
Pierce said Thursday that he would prefer the Celtics not run a video tribute during Thomas’ on-court return to TD Garden on February 11, the same night that Pierce’s number 34 jersey is retired.
"I'm not saying Isaiah shouldn't get a tribute video... but on February 11th, the night I get my jersey retired, I'm not sure I want to look up at the JumboTron and see Isaiah highlights,” Pierce said Thursday on ESPN's The Jump.
Pierce jokingly offered an alternative, saying “You could Instagram it.”
The Celtics had originally planned to play Thomas’ tribute video when the Cleveland Cavaliers came to the TD Garden to play the Celtics last Wednesday, but Thomas asked that they table it until the next meeting of the teams in February. He’s planning to be on the court that night, rather than the sidelines, and will also have his family in attendance.
"That's Pierce's night. But, like, the video tribute ain't the whole night," Thomas said. "I just wanted my family to be here to see it. That's what it came down to. I wanted to be able to play. And I wanted my family to experience the love and appreciation this city and this organization is going to give me on that night. And when my representatives reached out to these guys, [the Celtics] were all for it. They agreed on it.”
"I don't know why [some people are] so mad about it. I'm not taking nothing from Paul Pierce. He did 15 years here so there's nothing that I can take from him. But if they choose to do it that night, that would be great and I would be honored. And my family and friends can see how much they appreciated me here."

After witnessing Gru transform from a super-villain to a super-dad with a Play-Doh heart at the end of 2010's "Despicable Me," there was just no way there wouldn't be a sequel.
And "Despicable Me 2," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is better than the original — but not for its storytelling. The 98-minute movie replaces things like plot details with what the audience is clearly more interested in seeing: minions, adorable daddy-daughter moments (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, dressing up as a "Gruzinklebell" princess for Agnes' birthday) — and of course, for Gru to find the girls a mommy. »Read Full Article
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.

While we were still looking into fostering, Gambit and my husband heard meowing coming from a bush in our neighborhood and decided to investigate. They found a young, underweight kitten.
While I spent time flea combing the kitten and my husband searched for the kitten’s owners or a new home for the kitten, Gambit decided that this kitten was his new baby.
He was curious about it. But he also watched it, got upset if it was out of his reach, and was protective of it as if it were his own child. Surprisingly, the dog who didn’t understand that sometimes other dogs didn’t want to play with him knew to be gentle with the kitten and didn’t try to play with it.
Our friends and family tried to insist that it was Gambit’s kitten and he should be allowed to keep it. However, we had no desire to own a cat and Gambit doesn’t get to call the shots. This kitty deserved a home in which it was well-loved.
Fortunately, a few days after the kitten was found, a graduate student saw my husband’s found animal posting on Craigslist, fell in love, and adopted Gambit’s kitten.

The Election Commission while barring former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda from contesting elections for three years has said that a candidate with a mass-media oriented campaign can effectively polarise a decidedly large proportion of votes towards him.
The poll panel said that income tax reports and evidence gathered from the media had revealed that the election expenditure shown by Koda was much less than what was incurred. He had also failed to furnish the details in the right format.
Koda, who spoke to reporters in Singhbhum (West) district on Thursday, said he would move court against the poll panel’s order.
In their joint order, Chief Election Commissioner A K Joti and commissioner O P Rawat said: “Unfair elections strike at the root of a democracy. With a mass-media oriented campaign, any candidate can effectively polarise a decidedly large proportion of votes towards him. Undecided voters, instead of being able to decide on the candidate’s merit, fall victim to the bandwagon effect due to the illusion of mass support created by such a candidate.”
“It is unfortunate that voters are exploited by this show of money power and the ECI has to maintain the ethical responsibility of conducting free, fair and transparent elections,” they said.
It said that honest candidates should not be sidelined by those willing to contravene laws and “distort the lines of morality” for the sake of getting elected to Parliament or the state legislature.
Koda was elected in May 2009 as an Independent from the Singhbhum Lok Sabha seat. As stipulated, he filled up an election expense report by June 1, 2009. But the poll panel was not satisfied with it as it was not sent in the proper format and the claims were not supported by the vouchers.
In September 2010, Economic Times came out with a report, quoting I-T officials, that said Koda spent much more in the election than what he showed in his expenditure statement.
