The instructions are okay, i wish they were just a little bit more detailed, pay close attention to putting doors on as our stickers fell off the door making it confusing to know where to place the during assembly. The only problem we ran into was the front door stopper on the metal bracket, it was stripped and would not screw together which customer service is currently working to resolve for me.
This unit is very easy to assemble, I only had difficulty with one part (and that is saying a lot since I am a 60 year old female who is not very strong physically) - the last step of assembly is to screw some very long screws into 8 holes to attach the bottom of the shelf. Those screws were blunt bottom, not sharp, and they would not screw in no matter what I tried, even when I tried starting the hole with a big nail. After five minutes, I gave up and just used nails in place of the screws.
I bought this TV Stand after reading other reviews on here, and glad I did. The TV stand looks really good, and has a solid and sturdy build quality. Even though it was 3rd Party Vendor, shipping was quite fast. It was fairly easy putting it together thanks to the clear instructions!

FAYETTE — Upper Iowa men’s basketball coach Brooks McKowen knows a little about small towns in Iowa.
The former Wapsie Valley standout — the 2003 Mr. Iowa Basketball — grew up in Fairbank before moving on to the University of Northern Iowa.
He also knows something about fit.
“A lot of high-character kids from Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois,” said McKowen, in his eighth season in Fayette. “We’re here in a small town which means you need the right kind of kid.”
McKowen has found that fit more times than not at UIU and three of this year’s players have something else in common — parents.
Connor, Lucas and Max Duax are three of Bob and Katie’s five boys. Former Hempstead players from Dubuque, all three are on the 2020-21 Peacocks roster, although Connor is sitting out this season after transferring from Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
The 6-foot-5 Connor is the second oldest of the five boys — born over a 6 1/2-year span. Lucas, the middle of the five Duax boys, is 6-3 and a redshirt sophomore. The 6-2 Max, the fourth born, is a true sophomore and the baby of the Fayette trio.
He’s also the daredevil of the family.
“He’s not reckless,” Lucas said. “But he likes to try new things.”

Lucas is the leader of the Duax clan, starting all six games this season for the Peacocks (2-4) and averaging 15.7 points and a team-high 4.8 rebounds per game. Max has played in all six games and averages 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds.
“They are just a good family and good people to be around,” said McKowen, whose team travels to Wayne, Neb., Friday for a pair of games against Wayne State. “They bring a ton of versatility to our team and that’s why we brought them in.”
The Duax parents stressed the importance of being a good person and a good teammate to all five of their sons. Robert, the oldest of the bunch, finished his four-year career with Wisconsin-Platteville in 2018-19. Michael, a high school senior, is headed to Northern Iowa in the fall.
“I think that’s one of the things that I’m most proud of,” Bob said, “Are they kids that people want to play with? Not getting hung up on how many points or all of the stats. Just go out and have fun together and hopefully things fall into place for some wins.”
Katie Duax also has seen the time and effort her kids have put into their passion.
“We realize how fortunate they are to (play together) and they have worked hard to put themselves into that position,” she said. “They have kind of grown up playing together as a team. They are comfortable with each other and they learned how to play together. I think that has helped them get to where they are now.”
Now McKowen just needs to find a way to blend the chemistry the Duax brothers have with the rest of the team as the Peacocks prepare for a run at the conference championship and, they hope, a berth in the regional playoffs.
“They are all extremely unselfish, as well,” McKowen said. “It’s a fun team to play on when you have that same goal, same mindset and that same passion to make everyone else around you better.”
And, of course, similar backgrounds. Joe Smoldt of Reinbeck leads the Peacocks at 16 points per game and former North Linn prep standout Jake Hilmer, another Mr. Iowa Basketball, and Mason City’s Jareese Williams are third on the team at 15.5.

In their 2013 book, The Chosen Peoples: America, Israel, and the Ordeals of Divine Election, Todd Gitlin and his co-author tried to redeem the claim of chosenness as a concept that might be parlayed into a humane and universalistic vision. In other words, they aimed to square the circle on behalf of an ideal quite different from both Netanyahu's and MAGA's. Gitlin discusses the failure of their ambition in recent years.
Cosponsored by the Jewish Studies Program.

Is a mesh router worth it?
Mesh-network kits are the best choice if you need to cover a home of 3,000 square feet or larger, particularly if you have dead zones such as in heavily trafficked rooms that are far from your main router.
We also recommend mesh for smaller homes with obstacles like metal-framed walls or metal-and-glass doors..
What is the advantage of a mesh network?
Wireless mesh networks eliminate the cost of installing wires in complicated areas, they are extremely adaptable and expandable too as wireless mesh nodes can simply be removed or added to the network, and more.
Will a mesh network improve speed?
With mesh WiFi satellites positioned throughout your home, you get a much more consistent, even speed wherever you go in a building. In fact, you could get a satellite for every single room in the house to make sure your devices run as quickly as they possibly can on your Internet service.
What are the disadvantages of a mesh network?
Disadvantages Of A Mesh TopologyComplexity. Each node needs to both send messages as well as act as a router, which causes the complexity of each node to go up pretty significantly. … Network Planning. … Latency. … Power Consumption.
Is it OK to sleep next to a WiFi router?
It is safe to sleep next to a wireless router as it produces radio waves that, unlike X-rays or gamma rays, do not break chemical bonds or cause ionisation in humans. In other words, radio waves do not damage the DNA of human cells. Damaged DNA can lead to cancer.
How far away should you be from a WiFi router?
I feel best with a minimum of 20 feet between me and a router. If you have young children, best to keep them 30 or 40 feet away. If we can create a safe distance from our WiFi routers with correct placement in our living space, we are less likely to have physical impacts from the non-ionizing radiation.
How can I make my WiFi stronger?

Does a mesh system replace a router?
So, while a mesh system will replace the router part, you’ll still need to rely on the built-in modem. That’s why your first step of setting up a mesh system is to plug one of the modules into your existing router/modem using an Ethernet cable. … Now, you might see mesh devices with multiple Ethernet ports on them.
Is mesh WiFi dangerous?
Can mesh Wi-Fi signals be harmful? No, mesh Wi-Fi signals are not harmful, even though there are extra Wi-Fi nodes in your home. Most electronic technology uses radio frequencies, and this is not enough energy to become harmful to you and your family.
How far can mesh WiFi go?
A good rule of thumb is to place the second node halfway between the router and the dead zone as you would with a range extender, but limit the distance to no more than two rooms, or about 30 feet.
Is mesh WiFi better than router?
Rather than force every device in your home to wirelessly connect to the internet through the same router, Mesh Wi-Fi systems rely on multiple Wi-Fi nodes. … In some situations, mesh Wi-Fi can allow for faster speeds, better reliability and greater wireless coverage of your home than a conventional router would.
Does mesh WIFI reduce speed?
The main downside of a mesh network is that you lose some speed with every so-called hop. … Netgear’s Orbi works differently than traditional mesh systems. It has a dedicated Wi-Fi band, or connection, in which only the router and satellites can talk to each other; no other devices can interfere with their connection.
Which mesh WIFI is best?

Can I use a mesh network with existing router?
The AmpliFi HD Mesh Point, by Ubiquiti Labs, lets you create a mesh system with an existing Wi-Fi router. … If you happen to own the company’s mesh router and satellites, the Mesh Point can expand the existing network even more.
Do mesh routers need a modem?
A mesh router system can’t work by itself. It still needs a modem, right? … Even if you don’t pay for cable, you need to have a modem from an internet service provider (ISP). However, once you have the modem you’re under no obligation to you use the internet provider’s router.
Can mesh WiFi go through walls?
Whether for personal or professional purposes, having good Wi-Fi is essential to keeping you connected and your life flowing smoothly. This is especially true when you need good wireless capabilities. As you’re probably aware, wireless signals do not pass through walls and ceilings very well.

Ilfracombe 0-5 Buckland Athletic
Ilfracombe Town were undone by an experienced and slick looking Buckland Athletic on Tuesday night.
Combe will again look to missed first half opportunities costing them as they were on the receiving end of a 5-0 score line.
Combe started with a back three of Craig Allan, Lewis Ovey and Manager Ross Middleton having to fill in at sweeper in the absence of both captain James Mayne and vice Captain Karl Baggeley.
They started the brighter of the two teams and created chances with some neat football.
But it was Buckland who made the breakthrough, capitalising on a defensive error on 40 minutes with a fine two-touch finish.
Then came a moment of madness as Craig Allan mistimed his headed back pass and dived in, giving away a penalty in trying to atone for his error.
It was 2-0 at half time and after being on top for much of the game the Bluebirds looked shell shocked.
Buckland’s quality shone through in the second half, moving the ball with purpose and producing two moments of genuine quality to kill the game off.
Combe didn’t give up and continued to create chances, but Buckland sealed the win with a far post header late on.
“It’s a baptism of fire for the new boys,” said Ilfracombe boss Ross Middleton. “They’ve probably learnt more in the first two games than they have in two or three seasons playing locally.
“I can’t argue with their desire or work rate, they’ll get better and better. You have to be realistic, the Western League is tough and Buckland have two or three ex pros playing in their team.
“That’s the level you’re up against, but I’ve got complete faith that when we have a few experienced players back in amongst the youngsters we’re more than capable of competing.”
The Bluebirds will be hoping to leave their league form behind travel to St Austell in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has given an update on the situation surrounding Gianluigi Donnarumma plus the striker targets Milan are following.
Di Marzio spoke to Sky (via MilanNews) about Milan as the management continue to try and plan for next season. He has confirmed that for Zlatan Ibrahimovic the renewal is in the pipeline and is therefore imminent.
Milan have made a second offer of €7m plus €1m bonuses to Donnarumma, but the player and his agent did not give a positive answer. Milan did not raise because they consider this offer already very important.
Milan want to sign a striker to support Ibrahimovic, and Gianluca Scamacca of Sassuolo (currently on loan at Genoa) is a player on the list, as well as Andrea Belotti of Torino and Dusan Vlahovic of Fiorentina. PSV Eindhoven’s Donyell Malen and Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard round off the five-man striker wish list for the time being.

A MAN who was sitting down with his family for a meal was suddenly attacked by a mob who burst through his front door.
Stephen Lee Edwards was hit with a metal bar, was bitten on the back, and was cut to the hand with a Rambo-style knife during the terrifying incident at Holywell.
Mold Crown Court heard on Friday how his partner was screaming at them to stop.
There were children present and they were petrified as events unfolded.
There was no real explanation for the attack by five men, apart from an incident the night before when Mr Edwards, a father of seven, had been involved in an altercation with some local youths.
Darren Thomas, 27, of Nant y Coed, Holywell – who led the attack and who was branded the ring-leader – was jailed for 27 months.
Kurt Davies, 24, of Maes Lygan, Pentre Halkyn, was jailed for two years and Dylan Bellis, 18, Basingwerk Avenue in Holywell, received two years youth custody.
All three admitted a grievous bodily harm charge following the incident in January.
The judge, Mr Recorder John Philpotts, said that on the evening of January 11, Mr Edwards, his partner and children were in their own home eating takeaway food when a group of five people including the defendants burst into their home.
Thomas was in possession of a metal bar, and Bellis a bat.
All five trespassers including the three defendants set about Mr Edwards, punching him, kicking him, and he was struck with the bar.
He was held around the throat, he was bitten to the back or shoulder, and someone in that group, it was not known who, had a Rambo-style knife which the victim believed was used to cause a cut to his hand.
It all happened in front of children who were terrified.
Thomas, the judge said, continued to deny being involved even after his victim’s blood was found on his clothing.
Mr Philpotts said Thomas, who had a record for violence, was the ring leader.
Prosecuting barrister Sion ap Mihangel said there was no real explanation for why it had happened.
The previous evening Mr Edwards had been burning some items in the back, a group of youths gathered and began shouting abuse at him, and there had been some ill-feeling arising out of that.
In a victim impact statement Mr Edwards, who had been taken to hospital for treatment, told how they now locked all doors, he had flashbacks to what happened, he felt scared and now rarely went into town any more.
He said he had been stopped by friends of the defendants who wanted him to drop the charges, but he would not do so.
“They should not have come into my house and assaulted me and stabbed me,” he said.
His partner Sarah McCullock told how she felt as if she had been ‘fighting for her life’.
She could not believe what was taking place and had been trying to protect them all.
A neighbour disturbed by the noise told how she saw the group run from the property and said that a youth was holding a Rambo-style knife.
Police arrived and found a very upset household.
Myles Wilson, for Thomas, said that unusually the victim’s partner had felt able to write a reference on his client’s behalf.
The defendant was a hard working young man who also did charity work. He had been due to do a parachute jump for charity.
Mr Wilson said that Bellis was only 17 at the time and had acted completely out of character.
Gareth Roberts, for Davies, said he had been out having a drink and got carried along with it.
Davies had sole custody of a little boy and was a hard worker.

Ideeli flash-sale site sells high fashion for less
NEW YORK – When the buyers working for the discount fashion website Ideeli return from trips to designer showrooms in the "garment district" here, they're often as euphoric as shoppers who have found great deals.
Recently, some of the excitement has been about accessories from hot up-and-coming hair accessories designer Deepa Gurnani and Nine West co-founder Vince Camuto. But it can also just be a few dozen boots from a top designer they're not allowed to mention.
These "merchants," as Ideeli likes to call them, sometimes get calls from manufacturers when stores return merchandise or cancel orders. But, more often than not these days, it's because a brand realizes it's more cost-effective to make extra and knows there's a growing demand for deals on name-brand clothing and accessories.
Enter the growing influence of Ideeli and other sites that specialize in "flash sales." While Groupon and other daily-deal sites typically feature one daily deal in a local market, flash-sale sites have limited-time sales that feature many pieces from one or more designers' lines.
Ideeli takes the concept even further and often features sales from as many as 40 designers at a time, selling women's, men's and children's clothing, as well as home goods.
"It's the digital equivalent of an entire store's merchandise being on sale," says Nita Rollins, a digital marketing expert and Ideeli member.
Ideeli's goals are the same as many shoppers' this holiday season: Buyers are looking for the lowest prices on the best products.
"The great recession really, really accelerated our growth," says CEO Paul Hurley. "Brands were more interested in working with us."
Ideeli (pronounced "ideally") placed No. 1 on Inc.Magazine's ranking of the nation's fastest-growing companies this year. The site's three-year sales growth of 40,882% secured its spot and was twice the growth rate of the No. 2 company, Solazyme. Revenue in 2010 was $77.7 million.
VIDEO: Columnist Jayne O'Donnell offers advice on figuring out what's truly a good deal on a good product this holiday season.
The site has almost 5 million members and was ranked fourth among flash-sale sites in unique visits last month, according to Web-tracking company ComScore. Ideeli, which launched in 2007 with five employees, now has 250 and is still hiring.
While there's less luxury merchandise to be had at a discount for the site post-recession, Hurley says there are also far more shoppers in the "aspirational" or "mass affluence" segment the site targets.
Ideeli's members are mostly women and have household incomes ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 a year, says spokeswoman Becky Wisdom. (The site started offering men's clothing last fall.) They are the Nordstrom, Macy's and Bloomingdale's customers who appreciate the wide price range of clothes, accessories and home goods on Ideeli's site, says Ideeli strategy VP Barbara Levy.
These shoppers are looking for really good deals with a "splash of luxury," says Wisdom, noting that prices can go as high as $3,000.
Ideeli says its prices are 30% to 80% off retail prices.
The site has a more midbrow philosophy than higher-end Gilt.com. But Ideeli sprinkles enough high-brow brands — such as Sue Wong and M by Missoni — in with the Tahari and Kenneth Cole to keep shoppers at all levels coming back.
"Judging by their phenomenal growth, Ideeli does indeed seem to have something for everyone," says Rollins, who is a member of several flash-sales sites, including Gilt and Amazon's MyHabit.
Shopping at Ideeli can seem a bit more like T.J. Maxx and less like, say, Saks Fifth Avenue's end-of-season clearance. The Ideeli shopper must be "systematic in the face of a little chaos," says Rollins, who works for the digital marketing agency Resource Interactive.
"Just as offline sale shoppers are willing to comb the racks and deep dive into the bins for the buried treasure, so, too, does the Ideeli shopper believe there is right-priced booty awaiting them, so long as they are willing to scan all the options," says Rollins.
While flash-sale sites are attractive to many busy fashion-conscious women, retail analyst Howard Tubin says they don't pose much of a threat to brick-and-mortar off-price stores such as T.J. Maxx.
"A lot of what they offer now are newer or emerging designer brands that are probably unknown to a lot of people," says Tubin of RBC Capital Markets. "When it comes to apparel, people like to go to stores and shop and try things on."
Behind the scenes
Levy says her old life as a longtime buyer and executive at retailers including Macy's differs dramatically from her new one. She used to start planning what she'd buy for the next holiday season right after the last one ended.
Decisions about what to feature at Ideeli for the holidays are typically made a few months and even weeks before the season. They can also have as much to do with what they can get as it does what they want to get. "Everything moves much more quickly," says Levy.
So the buyers get calls from brands' representatives and hop in cabs or on the subway to go check out the samples at showrooms near Times Square. Like Ideeli's members, these buyers have to act fast or risk missing a great deal. Buyers for department and specialty stores visit the same showrooms as Ideeli does — just far earlier in the season when the prices aren't as good.
Indeed, Ideeli is a fast-paced world of off-price but on-trend fashion.
Racks of puffy coats, frilly blouses and other popular styles of clothes fill the hallways at the site's bright offices outside of Chinatown. The company occupies three floors of a building that also houses luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana and the more traditional designer Lafayette 148, which takes its name from the building's address.
On the 10th floor, dozens of buyers sit in rows of white cubicles. From here, they work with designers, which they call "vendors," to negotiate the size, prices and contents of orders. They're also drawing up the "storyboards" that show how the disparate pieces of clothing and accessories all can fit together.
Sure, it's all part of what's known as the upsell — attempts to get people to buy more than they came for — but it's one of the reasons consumers flock to sites including Ideeli for inspiration.
"It's not people looking for that $10,000 Chanel bag, but … an easy update to your wardrobe that's not going to break the bank," Wisdom says.
If a celebrity — or, more important, Kate Middleton— shows up in photos wearing something that starts getting buzz, the buyers will call the vendors most likely to carry a similar dress, order some and get them up on the site as fast as possible, with a picture of the celebrity — or princess.
On the sixth floor of the offices here, a cheerfully weary model poses for a series of shots in one of the website's eight studios. With a backdrop of camera flashes, Levy explains the whys behind some of Ideeli's buys this holiday season.
The site stocks up on the kinds of merchandise consumers steer toward as gifts, or at least that Ideeli thinks they should. For example, Levy recommends chunky costume jewelry that makes a statement no matter what it's worn with, but without breaking the bank.
Some other Ideeli-featured gifts for the holidays and why they were chosen:
•A two-ply-cashmere blanket and eye mask for travel with a matching case ($199.99). More plies mean softer, better-quality cashmere.
•Leather boots with rubber bottoms ($29.99-$179.99), which make them more comfortable and warmer on cold ground.
•Boots and purses with buckles that actually work ($29.99-$199.99). Lower-quality accessories often use hardware that's just for decoration.
•Puffy coats with inner seams that are reinforced with piping to make them less likely to rip from wear and tear ($69.99-$149.99).
"If we put in on the site, we're proud of it," says Levy.

Richmond: Both Sides Using Defendant's Exaggeration of Symptoms to Bolster Their Statements
By Kelli Phillips
Contra Costa Times [California]
July 12, 2006
Two psychologists testified in a priest molestation civil trial Tuesday that the alleged victim shows signs of abuse, despite test findings that he "overreported" symptoms.
Dr. Jennifer Keller and Dr. Bruce Arnow, both of Stanford University, took the stand as expert witnesses for the plaintiff, Joey Piscitelli, at the Superior Court trial in Martinez.
The former altar boy alleges that he was abused by the Rev. Stephen Whelan, a vice principal, when he was a freshman and sophomore at Salesian High School in Richmond from 1969 to 1971.
Keller and Arnow met with Piscitelli separately after he filed a lawsuit against the Salesian order in 2003. Keller administered several personality tests, while Arnow took an in-depth history of Piscitelli's life.
Test results showed that Piscitelli overreported symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, on one test and mildly exaggerated on another, Keller said.
"We have a person who was over the charts and his lawyer has to get him to go back and do more testing and he's found to be exaggerating again, but not to the same extent," Wayne Mason, a Texas-based attorney representing the Salesian order, pointed out on cross-examination.
Arnow interpreted the results differently. "He felt invalidated, he feels like to be heard at all he has to shout, and that's what we saw on the test results."
Both psychologists said that overreporting symptoms does not mean a person is lying about events of abuse. "There's nothing to suggest his stories of abuse are false," Keller said.
Mason said that most of the personality testing was self-reporting and that neither psychologist investigated Piscitelli's claims. "So, when it comes to making an assessment you have to rely on a story told to you by the patient," Mason said.
Whelan may take the stand today or Thursday.
Piscitelli, now a 50-year-old Martinez resident who is a coordinator for the Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests, is expected to testify late this week.
This the second trial in two months involving Salesian High School. The Salesian order reached a $700,000 settlement with another man June 28 in Alameda County Superior Court during jury deliberations.

Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce Review
|📌Published:||31 March 2021|
In “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” Bierce shares the story of Farquhar, a confederate farmer turned saboteur who is executed at the hands of federal troops during the American Civil war. Through the protagonist, the former soldier Bierce conveys that war is a terrible situation that turns once normal people into violent beings through the use of vivid imagery, dramatic irony, and strong verbiage.
Bierce can demonstrate the hardships of war by giving a glimpse into the former lives of Farquhar's executioners. For example, through the description of the federal sergeant preparing to execute the protagonist Farquhar. In this example, the reader is given insight in regards to the former job occupation of the sergeant. “... supplied a footing for him and his executioners- two private soldiers of the federal army, directed by a sergeant who in civil life may have been a deputy sheriff ( Bierce 87).” The ability to know that the sergeant’s jobs were in prewar times helps to demonstrate the negative effects that war brings. Ideally, the basic precept of a sheriff is to provide law and order for the community as somewhat of a “guardian”. In this instance, the sheriffs are “serving” the community through the sentence of death, which incites fear rather than calm. To go from for the most part a positive community figure to someone who enforces the death penalty is a drastic change and one that is completely caused by war. This message can also be seen through the description of Farquhar at the beginning of the story. In this example, the description was supposed to paint Farquhar as a noncombatant. “ The man who was engaged in being hanged was apparently about thirty-five years of age. He was a civilian if one might judge from his habit, which was that of a planter (87).” As a planter, no one would expect a planter to be pulled into the war effort, not to mention being executed by federal troops. However, this was not the case for Farquhar. He committed a crime and was therefore unable to escape death. Even though Farquhar did commit a crime, Bierce used Farquhar’s story as a way to show that wae spares no one, and especially those who may commit a crime.
Another place where Bierce highlights the woes of war was through his description of the harsh laws and legal systems present during the war. His first example was when Bierce outlined the severity of the legal code. “The liberal military code makes provision for hanging many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not included.” This is an extreme and significant example because it further points out the draconian nature of war. Since the civil war took place in the United States, one would believe that the rights and liberties, especially the ability to appeal a death sentence, would still be intact. With these “military codes,” due process and the rule of law is thrown out, and the punishment in many regards is death, no matter what the crime was. This style of crime and punishment present only during wartime is yet another example of the perpetual woes that this type of conflict brings. The second example Bierce gave was about the commandant and his harsh orders. “ The commandant has issued an order, which is posted everywhere, declaring that any civilian caught interfering with the railroad… will be summarily hanged… (89).” The presence of the commandant, like the military code, shows the complete lopsided of the legal system in war. The presence of a judiciary is replaced by a commandant, most likely a military officer, not a judge, who enforces the laws at his whims. The presence of a commandant is the antithesis of the legal system and is yet another example of why war brings only bad.
The Irony developed during the development of the story helps to Aid in the overall negative sentiment developed by Bierce. At the very end of the story, the reader finds out that, “Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek Bridge (Bierce).” After a dramatic climax where Farquhar had escaped death and gunfire to return to his family, this ending is a sobering reality of the fate of the war. No matter how hard Farquhar wished he could have escaped his imminent death, the war machine he was caught between ensured he would not see the light of day. the deception from the federal scout is yet another example of irony that cements the feeling of dread present throughout the story. After Farquhar had helped the lone scout and set out to damage the bridge, the reader finds out the true intentions of the scout without Farquhar knowing. “He reposed the plantation, traveling northward in the direction in which he had come. He was a federal scout (89).” Only the reader can infer what will happen to Farquhar, but since Farquhar does not realize he is meeting his eventual demise, which makes the scene more powerful. The irony of the situation helps reinforce the somber mood of the story brought on by war.
Along with irony, description, and comparison, Bierce develops the overall theme of despair and pain through the use of strong verbiage. An example of this literary device could be found during the description of Farquhar's death. “.. By a sense of suffocation. Keen, poignant agonies seemed to shoot from his neck downward through every fiber of his body and limbs (89).” The strong choice of words, such as agonies and “every fiber of his body” is meant to vividly convey the pain that Farquhar is feeling. The result of the word choice is that it sets. Disturbing tone, which is the intended effect from Bierce to continually convey the horror and malcontent that arises as a result of the war. In addition, The description of Farquhar’s escape also helps to develop the same message. When Farquhar was escaping, it described the science as, “the hunted man saw all this over his shoulder; he was now swimming vigorously with the current (91).” In the scenario, Farquhar is being described as being “hunted,” practically rendering him to that of an animal. The dehumanization that Farquhar experienced as a result of the side he chose in the war brings out the fact once again that war does not bring any good.
In conclusion, through the ability to see characters' previous lives, the strict legal system during wartime, the dramatic irony developed, and the strong verbiage used, it is clear that Bierce wanted to convey a sense of dread in regards to war. “The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” presented a reader with the dark and dismal side of the war, and the intended effect was to demonstrate that war is not a good situation that brings bad and despair. Through different styles of writing, Bierce was able to convey this point.

consider whether your central heating system could benefit from a one-off central heating system clean or flush.

Power Flush when jets of water pushed through the system using a powerful pump to clear the
debris from radiators, pipes, heat exchangers and coils.
A Chemical Flush where a chemical is allowed to circulate in the system before
being drained off along with the build-up of iron oxide.
Both help ensure the uninterrupted flow of hot water through radiators, help reduce the need for repairs and emergency callouts, reduce system running costs by
boosting efficiency, increase the lifespan of your entire heating system (pipes, radiators, cylinder and boiler) and generally improve your central heating performance.

President Bush’s Statement And Reaction Around The World
In light of yesterday’s events and the evolving search for lives and actual evidence we provide a sampling of the reaction around the world – first with the statement made by U.S. President Bush.
Statement by the President in His Address to the Nation
8:30 P.M. EDT
Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong.
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America -- with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C. to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business, as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night, and God bless America.

"We have controlled all activities of Osama and he can not contact
anyone", he said.
"It is highly regrettable to blame anyone for the attacks without
the completion of investigations", the Taliban envoy said.
Asked about the possibility of any American attack on Afghanistan,

I am shocked to learn that some parts of New York and Washington D.C. were disastrously attacked, which caused severe casualities.

Embassy Of The Republic Of The Sudan Official Statement on Terrorist Attacks
WASHINGTON, Sep 11, 2001 –
Following is a statement by the Embassy Of The Republic Of The Sudan:
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Mustafa Osman Ismail, who is currently on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, emerged from a meeting with his Saudi counterpart, to denounce the vicious terrorist attacks on a number of American targets this morning. He described the attacks on World Trade Center and the Pentagon building as criminal acts of terrorism which caused a great loss of precious human lives. He offered his sincere condolences to the American government and the American people, reaffirming the Sudan Government willingness to co-operate fully with the U.S. Government and the International Community to combat all forms of terrorism and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Syrian News Agency:
An official Syrian information source has condemned the the destructive acts of sabotage which targeted innocent civilians in the united states of America and inflicted extensive destruction on properties and vital positions.,
The source expressed Syria’s sympathy with the American people and families of the victims of those attacks.
Africa Reacts To US Attacks
Many Africans have condemned the attacks on the US but some Muslim groups in northern Nigeria have been celebrating.
The BBC's Ibrahim Dosara in Zamfara says that groups opposed to the US policy in the Middle East say it is now paying the consequences.
But Kenyans are being reminded of the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi and the BBC's Grey Phombeah says they have received the news with shock.
Other Africans are concerned about friends and family who are now living in the US.
Sierra Leone's Information Minister told the BBC's Focus on Africa that: "People are flabbergasted."
He said that people are crowded around radio sets and televisions for the latest news.
Kenya's President Daniel arap Moi said that terrorism can never be the basis for the solution of any conflict.
But some Kenyans who feel that the US should pay compensation for the injuries they suffered will watch closely how US victims are treated.
"Maybe the Americans will now get a taste of what we went through," said Consolata Wanjiru Mugo, who was injured in the Kenyan blast. "They will feel what it was like as innocent people to be attacked in this way. It will be quite interesting to see how they treat their own people, compared to the way they have treated us."
Our Zamfara correspondent says the Islamic Youth Organisation will be holding a march on Wednesday to celebrate the attacks.
He said they feel that Muslims are being killed in the Middle East on a daily basis and now it is the turn of the US to pay.
In recent years, South Africa has also been hit by terrorist attacks and South Africa Airways has responded by immediately cancelling all flights to the US.
The militant Muslim group, People Against Gangsterism and Drugs, PAGAD, which has been accused of responsibility for some of the bombings, declined to comment on the US attacks.

Nations Around World Condemn Terror Attacks on U.S.
LONDON (Reuters) - Nations around the world, including U.S. foes Libya and Iran, condemned the terror attacks on the United States in which thousands of people may have died.
Saddam Hussein's Iraq raised a dissenting voice, saying the United States deserved Tuesday's attacks in New York and Washington as the fruits ``of its crimes against humanity.''
Thousands of people may have died when the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center collapsed after two hijacked airliners smashed into one of the world's tallest buildings.
In Washington, another hijacked jet plunged into the Pentagon, the heart of the U.S. military establishment.
Leaders through Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America reacted with revulsion.
Photographs of the devastation dominated front pages around the world, while millions of people sat glued to their television screens as the catastrophe unfolded. ``War on America,'' was the banner headline on more than one newspaper.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder condemned the attacks as a declaration of war on the civilized world.
``This day has changed the world. A terrible event, the scale of which we cannot yet appreciate,'' German President Johannes Rau told an audience in Helsinki.
The United States virtually closed down after the worst attack on American soil since Japan's raid on Pearl Harbor that brought the U.S. into World War Two 60 years ago.
``Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts,'' President Bush told the nation.
``Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.''
BUSH REASSURES NATION
But Bush sought to reassure the public and said the country's financial institutions remained strong and the economy was open for business -- despite fears of a global recession.
Investors across the world snapped up safe assets like gold and U.S. Treasury bills after the attacks which left Wall Street smothered in smoke and rubble.
Air travel around the world was thrown into chaos as the United States closed its airports and borders and grounded its planes. Security was stepped up around its embassies and at many sensitive buildings in major cities across the globe.
Sweden put off a summit of center-left leaders, including Schroeder and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, that should have gone ahead at the weekend in Stockholm.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, regarded as a pariah by Washington, offered condolences at the ``horrific attacks.''
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami condemned what he called the ``terrorist'' attacks on Iran's arch-foe and offered ``deep sympathy'' to the American nation.
``Terrorism is condemned and the international community should...take effective measures to eradicate it,'' the official IRNA news agency quoted Khatami as saying.
But Iraqi state television said: ``The American cowboy is reaping the fruits of his crimes against humanity.''
Egypt, Israel and European leaders from Britain to Russia broke off normal business for crisis meetings.
Blair and Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a coordinated international response to terrorism.
Putin said in a telegram to Bush that ``barbarous terrorist acts aimed against wholly innocent people cause us anger and indignation.'' ``The entire international community should unite in the struggle against terrorism,'' he said.
``This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism,'' Blair said after chairing a crisis meeting of Britain's special security committee.
NATO HOLDS EMERGENCY MEETING
NATO ambassadors met in emergency session in Brussels.
``Our message to those who perpetrated these unspeakable crimes is...clear: you will not get away with it,'' NATO Secretary-General George Robertson said after the meeting.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin sent a message to Bush expressing sympathy.
A U.S. official pointed a finger at Saudi militant Osama bin Laden, already accused by Washington of masterminding the coordinated bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 in which more than 200 people died.
Afghanistan's Taliban rulers quickly denied that bin Laden, whom they are sheltering, was capable of launching Tuesday's attacks. Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar condemned the attacks as terrorist acts.
Forces fighting the Taliban launched a helicopter missile strike at Kabul airport early on Wednesday, destroying two planes, a Pakistan-based Afghan news agency said. Officials in Washington denied the blasts were a retaliatory U.S. strike.
Pakistan, the main international backer of the Taliban, joined in the condemnation.
Islamabad's Ausaf newspaper, which gives wide coverage to fundamentalist religious groups, called the deaths ''regrettable'' in an editorial monitored by the BBC, but said responsibility lay with the U.S. government and the United Nations for what it said was their support of Israel ''oppression'' of Palestinians.
Saying bin Laden had denied responsibility for the attack in a message to the newspaper, Ausaf warned that U.S. retaliation against Afghanistan would only stiffen hostility to Washington.
``If the attack were launched without producing evidence, it would further fuel hatred against the United States,'' it said.
Another Pakistani newspaper, Khabrain, also said bin Laden had denied responsibility through sources close to the Taliban.
Cuban President Fidel Castro, an opponent of the United States who helped push Washington to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union 40 years ago, warned of ``dangerous'' days'' ahead. He urged U.S. leaders to keep calm.
Israel, which has suffered a series of attacks during nearly a year of a Palestinian uprising, urged the world to fight Islamic guerrillas. Families of staff at its embassy in Cairo were sent home, airport sources in the Egyptian capital said.
Some Palestinians cheered but Palestinian President Yasser Arafat condemned the attacks as a ``terrible act'': ``It's unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable,'' he said.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, speaking from his residence outside New York, said the attacks had traumatized the world, but urged cool and reasoned judgement.
Pope John Paul called them an unspeakable horror which had thrust the United States into a dark and tragic moment.

Arafat Condemns U.S. Attacks, but Some Celebrate
By Nidal al-Mughrabi
GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat condemned Tuesday's aircraft attacks on U.S. cities as a ''terrible act'' and said he would help track down those responsible if asked by the Americans.
Some Palestinians in the West Bank city of Nablus handed out sweets and fired in the air to celebrate the attacks against Israel's key ally. A few dozen people honked car horns in Arab East Jerusalem but most West Bank towns were quiet.
``We completely condemn this serious operation. ... We were completely shocked,'' Arafat told reporters in Gaza. ``It's an unbelievable disaster. It is touching our hearts. It is very difficult to explain my feelings. God help them. God help them.''
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks in which three hijacked planes hit sites in New York and Washington. A fourth plane crashed near the U.S. city of Pittsburgh.
Some Palestinians are angered over what they see as U.S. support for Israel in its fight against Palestinians who are waging a nearly one-year-old uprising against occupation by the Jewish state of lands in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
``We are happy because America supports Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians,'' said a middle-aged Palestinian lawyer, carrying a briefcase and wearing a shirt and tie as he walked past the small, brief demonstration in East Jerusalem.
A few Palestinian boys stoned Israeli buses passing by, shattering a windshield.
RADICAL GROUPS DENY ANY CONNECTION
There were no celebrations in other West Bank towns such as Tulkarm, Bethlehem and Jenin and in the Gaza Strip, all areas where Israeli-Palestinian violence has raged.
Fathi Ayed, 37, a Palestinian store owner in Gaza, watched the news on a television in his shop.
``This is a terrible incident. Many people, innocent passengers were killed,'' he said. ``We feel sad because we know what pain is, we know what it is to lose someone we love.''
At least three radical groups which have condemned U.S. support for Israel in the Palestinian uprising denied any connection to the attacks in the United States, saying they were limiting their battle to inside Israeli-occupied territories.
Two radical Palestinian groups, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said they were not involved.
The spiritual leader of the Islamist militant group Hamas said it had no connection.
``We in Hamas, our battle is on the Palestinian land. We are not ready to move our battle out of the occupied Palestinian territories,'' said Sheikh Ahmed Yassin of Hamas, which has carried out bombings that have killed scores of Israelis.
Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo told Voice of Palestine radio: ``The Palestinian people express their utmost sympathy to the American people and to the innocent victims who perished in these sinful and criminal acts.''
Palestinian political factions said the attack contravenes ''all human principles and values regardless of the existing differences with the American administration.''
Israel and the Palestinians have been locked in fighting since last September after peace talks stalled.
Gulf Times: Radical Palestinian groups deny role in U.S. attacks
Two radical Palestinian guerrilla groups said they had nothing to do with the devastating attacks on key U.S. buildings yesterday.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) told Reuters they were not involved in attacks on the U.S. They said they were limiting their military operations against Israel to attacks inside the Israeli-occupied territories.
"Naturally the United States' position regarding our conflict with Israel is totally biased in favour of Israel, but we have nothing to do with these aircraft attacks in the U.S. because our military battle is against the Zionist enemy," Maher Al Taher, a PFLP politburo member, said.
"We, as nationalist Palestinian forces, are launching our struggle on our land against the Zionist aggression."
Taher denied a report on August 29 that his group was planning attacks against the U.S. following the killing of the PFLP leader Abu Ali Mustafa in an Israeli missile attack on his office in the West Bank.
Ali Badwan, a member of the central committee of the DFLP told Reuters his group was against any attacks on civilians.
"Our policy calls for focusing the Palestinian efforts against the Israeli occupation forces and the armed Zionist settlers," he said. "We are not concerned with any actions outside the Palestinian territories. Our legitimate struggle is directed against the Israeli enemy and the settler cliques."
Gramma Internacional: Cuba rejects acts of terrorism in the United States and offers condolences to the victims
THE Cuban government has totally rejected the acts of terrorism reported today, Tuesday, in the United States and has offered its condolences to the people and authorities of that country for loss of life.
Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque informed the press that Cuba’s historical position is to "totally condemn and reject terrorism wherever it comes from and against whoever it is perpetrated."
The Cuban minister made his statement in Havana’s José Martí International Airport a few hours after the attacks on the World Trade Center twin towers in New York, plus the Pentagon and State Department in Washington, which all occurred within minutes of one another.
"Our people have had to suffer 40 years of acts of terrorism, so we know the consequences of this type of action," emphasized Pérez Roque.
The Cuban minister of foreign affairs stated that the island has notified regional air traffic control authorities that the island is willing to offer facilities in Cuban airports for aircraft in mid-flight, due to the present situation in U.S. airspace.
"Our reaction really is one of a feeling of total rejection of this action," reiterated Pérez Roque.
Asked about those acts of terrorism being attributed to Palestinian terrorists, the foreign minister indicated that Yasser Arafat, president of the Palestinian National Authority, was one of the first to expressly condemn what occurred today.
Regarding a notion that Cuba was involved, he confirmed: "I do not believe it is necessary to refer to this, and I trust that such a barbaric idea would not occur to anybody."
After the news became known on the island normal television transmissions were interrupted and full and detailed information was offered on the incident, described here as "a national tragedy for the United States."
Japan Times: Koizumi sends message to Bush over terrorist attacks

"Representing the Japanese government and the Japanese people, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the victims and families of the victims," he said.
