With the presence of the leader of Olympiacos, Mr. Evangelos Marinakis, members of the Board, as well as executives of Olympiacos FC, members of the coaching staff, players, members of the Football Department and employees, the traditional cutting of the New Year's pie of the Football Department was held on Thursday at the Rentis Training Center.
The atmosphere during the meal was filled with laughter and teasing, thus showing once again that Olympiacos is a strong family inside and outside the pitch.
Once the meal was over, Mr. Evangelos Marinakis wished the attendees a happy new year with health and successes for the team. The leader of Olympiacos, among other things, stressed the following in his speech: "This year is a very important one for our team, because we are now sure, from what we have seen so far, that we can win the league. Moreover, what we've seen in Europe is that we have the potential to reach even higher. Therefore, in the match against Arsenal we are all hoping for an outstanding performance and to go through.
Furthermore, I would like to mention the events that have taken place in our country lately and especially the football field, regarding PAOK and multiple ownership, which is strictly prohibited all around the world and also according to UEFA and FIFA. For about three months, Olympiacos' staff has done a very good job in gathering all the evidence that clearly proves that there is multiple ownership regarding the PAOK and Xanthi teams. A charge was filled to the competent authorities and, after examining the entire file, they came to the conclusion that there is multiple ownership and that both teams should be punished and expelled from the league.
We don't blackmail, nor intend to divide the people, nor ask our supporters to threaten members of Parliament and break offices. In no way we foment violence.
The only thing we ask is for the legality to be kept for everyone, nothing more, nothing less.
All this will surely take its course during the next period. However, I ask you, the players, our coach, all of you, not to pay any attention to that whole thing. This shouldn't affect especially you. You must focus on winning the next matches on the pitch, because we are better, and close your eyes and ears to what's going on around this case.
We have to move on steadily and passionately and I was really pleased from watching that on last Sunday's derby at the Olympic Stadium, when playing against AEK and all of you really played with passion. This showed when the plays ended and it was something I haven't seen so clearly in previous derbies. You have to continue like that in every match until the end of the playoffs and until we triumphantly win the league, because we deserve it!
We are a family, all together from the first moment. You all know that our door is always open for our players, for the whole team. I'm delighted to see you all here today in a wonderful family atmosphere and I see that we all have the faith and the power to move forward and to win. Let me just remind you that you should forget whatever happens outside the team, and concentrate on what's going on inside the pitch and in training. Also, keep the invincibility, keep winning, and conquer the league because we're really the best."
Then came the cutting of the pie, with Avraam Papadopoulos and Bruno Gaspar finding the coin on behalf of the players, while the team doctor, Christos Theos, was the lucky one among the staff members.

The Courier's Elizabeth-Anne Mackay speaks to Caithness exile John Pemberton about his inspirational conservation work to help develop a sustainable future for an African forest reserve.
A Thurso conservationist working on a wildlife reserve in Malawi has recalled with anger the night he filmed a herd of elephants grieving the loss of their matriarch, believed to have been butchered at the hands of ivory poachers just 24 hours earlier.
John Pemberton armed himself with a machete against a possible attack at his camp in Thuma Forest, Salima, where he spent the summer tackling human /elephant conflict while helping to protect the area's wildlife for future generations.
The Kent-based 29-year-old has been working with Wildlife Action Group (WAG) Malawi since 2010 when he first visited the African country.
During his most recent visit, he was conducting the first camera trap survey of the area but, unfortunately, most of his time was spent dealing with the organised crime of ivory poaching.
The reserve at Thuma is around half the size of Caithness and trying to patrol it effectively every day and night on foot is a huge challenge — one which WAG's small team struggles to meet on a shoestring budget.
John explained: "Malawi's wildlife and natural resources are under huge pressure from illegal human use. Add commercial ivory poaching to the mix and you have a hugely challenging conservation situation. These poachers think nothing of butchering intelligent and emotional animals for their teeth or of shooting at unarmed anti-poaching scouts for their prize. More....

European Press Conference Remarks
Eckhard Pfeiffer
President & CEO
Compaq Computer Corp.
Oslo Press Conference
September 19. 1996
Good morning, everyone. I'm glad you could be with us.
13 years ago this month, I joined Compaq with the initial charter of building Compaq's business in Europe.
[Record Growth]
At the end of that year ... 1983 ... Compaq's worldwide sales reached $111 million -- the highest first-year sales in American business history.
Fast forward 13 years ... and financial analysts estimate Compaq's full year 1996 sales at $18.2 billion ... placing us among the world's top 200 corporations.
Analyst estimates also call for full-year operating profit of $1.7 billion ... and net income of $1.2 billion.
[Market Leadership]
For the last decade ... we've been making the entire world our market.
Our success as a truly global company that serves more than 100 countries ... is evidenced by our holding the top worldwide PC market share for the last two and half years running -- 10.2%.
Today, Compaq is not only the largest supplier of personal computers.
[Industry Ranking]
We're also the world's fifth largest company in computer sales ... having overtaken Hitachi and Digital Equipment Corporation in 1995.
This morning ... I want to talk to you about:
· our 1996 performance to date ...
· our outlook for the second half ...
· and most important ... our new blueprint for the future -- our roadmap for redefining Compaq and extending our global leadership.
Let's begin with a quick look back to the second quarter's solid financial performance.
[2 Quarter Results]
In the quarter ... worldwide sales grew 14 percent to $4 billion.
Net income increased 9 percent to $267 million.
And earnings per share rose to $ .96 ... compared with $ .90 reported in the 1995 second quarter ... exceeding analysts' projections.
Of real significance in the quarter ... Compaq's gross margins returned to 23 percent.
This was the result of global operational improvements in the areas of logistics and asset management ... as well as the beginning of a major new product cycle.
Our cash balance increased 86 percent over the first quarter to $1.9 billion.
This performance prompted a Dean Witter financial analyst to observe that "the truly dramatic improvement in its balance sheet puts Compaq in a class by itself in the PC industry." Eugene Glazer, quoted in Investor's Business Daily, 7/25/96
[First Half]
Turning to the first half ... worldwide sales increased 27 percent to $8.2 billion.
Net income for the half rose 8 percent to $501 million.
Sales were strong for the half in most regions.
For example ...
· North America was up 39 percent ...
· Europe/Middle East/Africa ... 14 percent
· Asia Pacific ... 24 percent ...
· and Latin America ... 60 percent.
· [Japan = -1.7%]
Compaq remains the No. 1 supplier of desktop PCs ... the No. 1 supplier of Pentium PCs ... and the No. 1 PC server vendor by a wide margin.
Our stock has responded to this continuing momentum.
In fact it closed last Friday at a new record high of $60 1/2.
['96 WW Unit Growth]
On a global basis ... the PC market is maintaining its strong growth this year.
True, we are not seeing the 20-plus percent growth of years past.
But market researchers are forecasting worldwide unit growth of between 17 and 19 percent this year ... which translates to shipments of about 70 million PCs.
As early as 1999 ... annual PC shipments worldwide could exceed 100 million units.
Consider the factors driving this market.
The PC business is becoming far more global.
Computing and communications are merging so quickly that the era of personal computing is becoming the era of personal communications.
On the commercial side ... the corporate Pentium upgrade cycle is only partly completed.
And the Windows NT 4.0 cycle is just beginning. (Upgrading to NT requires a Pentium or higher.)
On the consumer side ... ongoing price reductions ... ease-of-use enhancements ... newly affordable multimedia functionality ... and new software applications are stimulating global demand.
[The Digital Revolution]
Without question ... the single most significant factor encouraging PC use is the Internet ... which has become the key catalyst for exploding global connectivity.
These days ... more and more people believe that if you are not on the Net ... you're really out of it.
As a result, the Net is driving millions of new consumers around the world to PCs ... and creating major new demand for servers and internetworking equipment.
Think about it: The Net -- with its ever richer content ... growing population of users ... and emerging infrastructure for commerce -- is helping fulfill the promise of the PC.
The Internet is making every one of the millions of Compaq PCs in the hands of our customers more valuable.
PCs are becoming must-have tools for electronic education ... recreation ... and commerce.
At the same time ... the more consumers get "wired" ... the more need there is for Compaq servers and networking products and services.
So where does Compaq play in this rising tide of PC demand?
[Compaq Outlook]
Our outlook calls for a strong second half.
In fact, we believe we're in an excellent position to gain market share and achieved improve profitability for the balance of this year.
Why do I believe this?
For starters ... we retain the industry leadership position by several measures: market share... product breadth ... global presence ... and product cycle strength.
Consider our product life cycles ... which are coming faster and faster.
[Product line: Pentiums]
Since early June ... we've been rolling out a multitude of major new product lines that can be integrated into an enterprise solution.
Here's a quick rundown.
In early June ... we introduced a new class of Pentium Pro servers -- the ProLiant 5000 -- that deliver midrange-system performance at half the cost of proprietary systems.
IDC just reported that nearly 80 percent of the PC servers and superservers shipped with Pentium Pro processors during the second quarter were ProLiant 5000s.
Concurrently ... we introduced network-based software tools that reduce implementation and support costs.
[Product line: Portables]
Then in mid June ... we introduced a new range of thinner, lighter-weight notebook PCs that incorporate faster processors, richer multimedia, and the industry's first 28.8 BPS cellular modem with advanced telephony ... all of which puts Compaq on the road to regaining portables leadership.
[Consumer PCs]
In mid July ... we announced the industry's first family of home PCs that are designed for five distinct consumer market segments and offer five new form factors ... including
· the first full-featured flat panel desktop home PC;
· the first PCs to bring arcade quality graphics to home computers;
· and the first mobile computer designed for the consumer market.
[Commercial Desktops]
In late July ... we launched a complete redesign of our entire commercial desktop PC line ... incorporating Intelligent Manageability across the line and consolidating all models under a single brand name--Deskpro.
For those unfamiliar with Intelligent Manageability ... it enables customers to manage, inventory, and troubleshoot the desktop PCs on their network from one location.
Market research firm Dataquest noted the real significance of our new Deskpros ... and wrote:
"The machines are designed for advanced manufacturing logistics, which increase availability and shorten delivery time for customers ... and allows Compaq to make more efficient use of its production capacity." Martin Reynolds, Dataquest, July 96
In July ... we also dramatically expanded network manageability for all customers.
We introduced Compaq Netelligent hardware and software products that make it far simpler to install, configure, and manage network devices ... while ensuring maximum network availability and minimum cost of ownership.
In August ... we announced the formation of our Workstation Division ... which plans to launch a family of powerful, industry-standard Windows NT workstations worldwide in the fourth quarter.
These workstations will meet the most demanding needs of design, engineering, and financial professionals ... at costs far lower than proprietary UNIX/RISC workstations.
In late August ... we announced customized service and support offerings for customers who are betting their business on the SAP R/3 distributed enterprise environment.
We'll provide the most coordinated service response and high levels of availability for Compaq customers running mission-critical R/3 Windows NT solutions on our servers.
One week ago ... we launched the first industry standard router ... rounding out our networking product line of NICs, hubs, and switches.
[Wealth Of Leadership Products]
What should you infer from this wealth of leadership products and services announced in just the last three and a half months?
First, Compaq has the strongest product lineup in its history ... and has many new leadership products yet to announce this year.
Second, rather than simply make products that connect users to the Internet ... our new product lines will help customers make the leap from connectivity to competitive advantage in the age of the Internet.
And third, the expertise of Compaq and our strategic partners now extends well beyond the desktop and the laptop ... to the entire realm of corporate computing and its integration with the Internet.
Just ask our customers -- customers like General Motors ... brokerage firm Smith Barney ... or UBS ... BMW ... German Post AG ... and many, many others.
In essence, Compaq has learned how to blend an enterprise computer company and a consumer electronics company.
As I look back on the first half of the 1990s ... I see not only a global but also a fast-forward company.
Between 1991 and the end of 1995 ...
· our worldwide market share has grown 31 percent a year compounded;
· our sales have grown 46 percent a year;
· our net income by 66 percent a year;
· and our stock value by nearly 50 percent a year.
All of that said ... Compaq will be the first to acknowledge that unprecedented change lies ahead for the information industry.
[External Market Forces]
It's not simply that the Internet is restructuring the industry... causing competitors from a multitude of industries to converge on the information technology marketplace.
It's also that our customers' requirements are changing.
More and more ...they require bundled network solutions and higher levels of global service and support.
That's why we're supplanting strategic assumptions that served us well in the first half of the 1990s ... with new ones attuned to the changed market realities of the second half.
That's why we're methodically identifying new competitive threats and figuring out how we will deal with them.
[Launching Revolution]
In fact ...it's fair to say that Compaq is launching an internal revolution all over again, a revolution as far reaching as the one we launched in 1991.
Only this time we're reinventing Compaq from a position of strength and PC leadership -- not crisis.
And this time ... we have set for ourselves an even bolder leadership goal than the prior one of "No. 1 in '96."
We have jumped to a competitive playing field that is far broader and more complex than the PC industry -- the worldwide computer industry.
[New Leadership Objective]
Within this market ... we intend to be one of the top three global computer companies by the year 2000 -- networking people and information.
Today ... as I mentioned ... we are No. 5.
Over the next four years ... we will strive to overtake at least two of the three major competitors immediately ahead of us ... and perpetuate our legacy of growth.
We will measure ourselves against their relevant computing and communications businesses that sell products and services to end customers.
Now ... this is not a quest for bigness ... for the sake of bigness.
[Corp. Goal = Customer Satisfaction]
The raison d'être for this revolution is to achieve industry-leading customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as outstanding long-term growth for our shareholders.
How do we create loyal customers? By sharpening our focus on customer solutions. And by staying ahead of customers and anticipating their needs.
[New Organization Structure]
And that's the reason why ... on July 2 ... we announced a significant new organization structure.
We created three new customer-focused business groups -- Enterprise Computing ... PC Products ... and Consumer Products -- that reflect the way customers think about and use information technology.
We believe this multiple business model will enable us to grow our core businesses ... invest in and build new businesses ... increase our global presence ... empower decision making closer to the market .. and strengthen our market focus on strategic markets.
[Enterprise Computing Group]
Let's take a quick look at these business groups ... beginning with Enterprise Computing.
This business group gathers together:
· Server Products Division
· Enterprise Storage and Options Division
· Our new Workstation Division
· Our new Enterprise Solutions Division
· Our new Internet Solutions Division -- which heightens our focus on the Internet
· And our Networking Products Division
This business group expands our emphasis on enterprise computing ... positioning Compaq as an end-to-end supplier of computing solutions.
It's devoted entirely to servers, workstations, networking, and the Internet ... sharpening our focus on the client/server paradigm.
We will leverage our leadership server position into a long-term relationship with customers ... by pulling products from across Compaq into distributed enterprise solutions ... and by providing customers with a migration path to the Internet era.
[PC Products]
Let's turn to our next business group -- PC Products.
Within this group ... you'll find:
· Our Desktop PC Division
· Portable PC Division
· Our new Options Division, combing portables and desktop options
· New focus on small and medium business solutions
· New Communications Products Division
This group will support our corporate strategy to grow and improve the performance of our core business while investing in new strategic markets.
As regards our core business ... the PC Group will not only sustain and grow Compaq's leadership in desktop PCs .. but also regain leadership in the portables market no later than 1998.
As for investing in new markets ... the PC Group will build an external communications products business based on Compaq's development of modems ... PC cards ... and other wired and wireless products.
At the same time ... we will develop products and solutions for small and medium-size businesses around the world.
[Consumer Products]
Our third group is Consumer Products.
This group was formalized just over a year ago and has been hard at work delivering what customers truly want in a home PC..
This group is now targeting specific products to five key market segments of home PC users.
Compaq will continue to provide consumers with new functionality and simplicity ... ensuring that our PCs are nearly as easy to use as home appliances ... attractive and complementary to home decor ... and enabling quick access to the computer features consumers use most often.
[Corporate Umbrella]
Our new business groups make clear that Compaq is no longer in one business ... but in three different businesses ... each with different customers ... competitors ... business models ... and strategic objectives.
At the same, time these businesses are synergistic.
They benefit from the Compaq brand known internationally for quality and reliability.
Their linkage enables global economies of purchasing, manufacturing, and distribution ... and opportunities to bundle multiple products into value add solutions.
[How Will We Measure Progress]
How will we chart our progress en route to our new leadership objective?
We have three separate but highly interdependent measures.
First ... the level of customer satisfaction we provide ... ultimately resulting in industry-leading customer loyalty.
Second, the economic value add or EVA we create for our shareholders.
EVA is an excellent indicator of stock performance ... and measures Compaq's ability to generate wealth in excess of the cost of capital we employ.
Our third measure is the relative size of Compaq to other global computer companies.
We're fully aware of the magnitude of the challenge we have set for ourselves.
Yet we're equally aware of the magnitude of the benefits once we succeed.
[Business Week]
In July ... Business Week wrote a story that comprehended the scope of our internal revolution.
The magazine wrote: "If the Crossroads plan is successful ... Compaq will have created the blueprint for the computer company of the next century: a giant with the nimbleness of a consumer electronics maker and the all encompassing service and support capabilities of big computer companies such as HP and IBM."
That captures the essence of what the new Compaq is about.
When people look back on the influential companies that led the way into the next millennium and into the new information age, we are absolutely determined that Compaq will be one of the leaders.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and tic disorder (TD) represent highly disabling, chronic and often comorbid psychiatric conditions. While recent studies showed a high risk of suicide for patients with OCD, little is known about those patients with comorbid TD (OCTD). Aim of this study was to characterize suicidal behaviors among patients with OCD and OCTD.
Three hundred and thirteen outpatients with OCD (n = 157) and OCTD (n = 156) were recruited from nine different psychiatric Italian departments and assessed using an ad-hoc developed questionnaire investigating, among other domains, suicide attempt (SA) and ideation (SI). The sample was divided into four subgroups: OCD with SA (OCD-SA), OCD without SA (OCD-noSA), OCTD with SA (OCTD-SA), and OCTD without SA (OCTD-noSA).
No differences between groups were found in terms of SI, while SA rates were significantly higher in patients with OCTD compared to patients with OCD. OCTD-SA group showed a significant male prevalence and higher unemployment rates compared to OCD-SA and OCD-noSA sample. Both OCTD-groups showed an earlier age of psychiatric comorbidity onset (other than TD) compared to the OCD-SA sample. Moreover, patients with OCTD-SA showed higher rates of other psychiatric comorbidities and positive psychiatric family history compared to the OCD-SA group and to the OCD-noSA groups. OCTD-SA and OCD-SA samples showed higher rates of antipsychotics therapies and treatment resistance compared to OCD-noSA groups.
Patients with OCTD vs with OCD showed a significantly higher rate of SA with no differences in SI. In particular, OCTD-SA group showed different unfavorable epidemiological and clinical features which need to be confirmed in future prospective studies.
Bipolar disorder (BD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are prevalent, comorbid, and disabling conditions, often characterized by early onset and chronic course. When comorbid, OCD and BD can determine a more pernicious course of illness, posing therapeutic challenges for clinicians. Available reports on prevalence and clinical characteristics of comorbidity between BD and OCD showed mixed results, likely depending on the primary diagnosis of analyzed samples.
We assessed prevalence and clinical characteristics of BD comorbidity in a large international sample of patients with primary OCD (n = 401), through the International College of Obsessive–Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS) snapshot database, by comparing OCD subjects with vs without BD comorbidity.
Among primary OCD patients, 6.2% showed comorbidity with BD. OCD patients with vs without BD comorbidity more frequently had a previous hospitalization (p < 0.001) and current augmentation therapies (p < 0.001). They also showed greater severity of OCD (p < 0.001), as measured by the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS).
These findings from a large international sample indicate that approximately 1 out of 16 patients with primary OCD may additionally have BD comorbidity along with other specific clinical characteristics, including more frequent previous hospitalizations, more complex therapeutic regimens, and a greater severity of OCD. Prospective international studies are needed to confirm our findings.
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic, highly disabling condition associated with psychiatric/medical comorbidity and substantive morbidity, mortality, and suicide risks. In prior reports, varying parameters have been associated with suicide risk.
To evaluate sociodemographic and clinical variables characterizing Italian individuals with BD with versus without prior suicide attempt (PSA).
A sample of 362 Italian patients categorized as BD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM IV-TR) was assessed and divided in 2 subgroups: with and without PSA. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were compared between prior attempters and non-attempters using corrected multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
More than one-fourth of BD patients (26.2%) had a PSA, with approximately one-third (31%) of these having>1 PSA. Depressive polarity at onset, higher number of psychiatric hospitalizations, comorbid alcohol abuse, comorbid eating disorders, and psychiatric poly-comorbidity were significantly more frequent (p<.05) in patients with versus without PSA. Additionally, treatment with lithium, polypharmacotherapy (≥4 current drugs) and previous psychosocial rehabilitation were significantly more often present in patients with versus without PSA.
We found several clinical variables associated with PSA in BD patients. Even though these retrospective findings did not address causality, they could be clinically relevant to better understanding suicidal behavior in BD and adopting proper strategies to prevent suicide in higher risk patients.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with variable risk of suicide and prevalence of suicide attempt (SA). The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of SA and associated sociodemographic and clinical features in a large international sample of OCD patients.
A total of 425 OCD outpatients, recruited through the International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS) network, were assessed and categorized in groups with or without a history of SA, and their sociodemographic and clinical features compared through Pearson's chi-squared and t tests. Logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of the collected data on the SA variable.
14.6% of our sample reported at least one SA during their lifetime. Patients with an SA had significantly higher rates of comorbid psychiatric disorders (60 vs. 17%, p<0.001; particularly tic disorder), medical disorders (51 vs. 15%, p<0.001), and previous hospitalizations (62 vs. 11%, p<0.001) than patients with no history of SA. With respect to geographical differences, European and South African patients showed significantly higher rates of SA history (40 and 39%, respectively) compared to North American and Middle-Eastern individuals (13 and 8%, respectively) (χ2=11.4, p<0.001). The logistic regression did not show any statistically significant predictor of SA among selected independent variables.
Our international study found a history of SA prevalence of ~15% in OCD patients, with higher rates of psychiatric and medical comorbidities and previous hospitalizations in patients with a previous SA. Along with potential geographical influences, the presence of the abovementioned features should recommend additional caution in the assessment of suicide risk in OCD patients.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) showed a lower prevalence of cigarette smoking compared to other psychiatric disorders in previous and recent reports. We assessed the prevalence and clinical correlates of the phenomenon in an international sample of 504 OCD patients recruited through the International College of Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS) network.
Cigarette smoking showed a cross-sectional prevalence of 24.4% in the sample, with significant differences across countries. Females were more represented among smoking patients (16% vs 7%; p<.001). Patients with comorbid Tourette's syndrome (p<.05) and tic disorder (p<.05) were also more represented among smoking subjects. Former smokers reported a higher number of suicide attempts (p<.05).
We found a lower cross-sectional prevalence of smoking among OCD patients compared to findings from previous studies in patients with other psychiatric disorders but higher compared to previous and more recent OCD studies. Geographic differences were found and smoking was more common in females and comorbid Tourette's syndrome/tic disorder.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent, disabling, and comorbid condition that is frequently under-recognized and poorly treated. OCD phenotypes may differ in terms of clinical presentation and severity. However, few studies have investigated whether clinical phenotypes differ in terms of latency to treatment (ie, duration of untreated illness[DUI]), duration, and severity of illness. The present study was aimed to quantify the aforementioned variables in a sample of OCD patients.
One hundred fourteen outpatients with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of OCD were recruited, and their main clinical features were collected. Severity of illness was assessed through the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), and the main phenotypes were identified through the Y-BOCS Symptom Checklist. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test, were performed to compare DUI, duration, and severity of illness across subgroups.
In the whole sample, the mean DUI exceeded 7 years (87.35±11.75 months), accounting for approximately half of the mean duration of illness (172.2±13.36 months). When subjects were categorized into 4 main clinical phenotypes, respectively, aggressive/checking (n=31), contamination/cleaning (n=37), symmetry/ordering (n=32), and multiple phenotypes (n=14), DUI, duration, and severity of illness resulted significantly higher in the aggressive/checking subgroup, compared to other subgroups (F=3.58, p<0.01; F=3.07, p<0.01; F=4.390, p<0.01).
In a sample of OCD patients, along with a mean latency to treatment of approximately 7 years, regardless of the phenotype, patients had spent half of their duration of illness (DI) without being treated. DUI, duration, and severity of illness resulted significantly higher in the aggressive/checking subgroup.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation technique that has received increasing interest in the area of mood disorders over the last several years. While acute, double-blind, sham-controlled studies have already reported positive findings in terms of efficacy and safety for tDCS, follow-up data are lacking. This need prompted the present follow-up study, which assesses post-acute effects of tDCS (no maintenance stimulation was performed), in the mid-term, in a sample of major depressives.
After completing an acute, open trial of tDCS, 23 outpatients with either major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder entered a naturalistic follow-up (T1) with clinical evaluations at one week (T2), 1 month (T3), and 3 months (T4). A quantitative analysis of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total scores, through repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) (T1–T4) and paired t-test for comparing specific time points (T1–T2, T2–T3, and T3–T4), was performed. In addition, a qualitative analysis on the basis of treatment response and remission (HAM-D) was performed.
Even though a progressive reduction of follow-up completers was observed from T2 to T4 (95.6% at T2, 65.2% at T3, and 47.8% at T4), the antidepressant effects of acute tDCS persisted over 3 months in almost half of the sample. Of note, no post-acute side effects emerged during the follow-up observation. The most frequent causes of drop-out from this study included major modifications in therapeutic regimen (30%) and poor adherence to follow-up visits (17%).
In this mid-term, open, follow-up study, tDCS showed mixed results. Further controlled studies are urgently needed to assess its effects beyond the acute phase.

Warner Leroy Baxter (March 29, 1889 – May 7, 1951)[1][note 1] was an American film actor from the 1910s to the 1940s. Baxter became known for his role as the Cisco Kid in the 1928 film In Old Arizona, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 2nd Academy Awards.[4] He frequently played womanizing, charismatic Latin bandit types in Westerns, and played the Cisco Kid or a similar character throughout the 1930s, but had a range of other roles throughout his career.
Baxter began his movie career in silent films with his most notable roles being in The Great Gatsby (1926) and The Awful Truth (1925). Baxter's most notable talkies are In Old Arizona (1929), 42nd Street (1932), Slave Ship (1937) with Wallace Beery, Kidnapped (1938) with Freddie Bartholomew, and the 1931 ensemble short film, The Stolen Jools. In the 1940s, he was well known for his recurring role as Dr. Robert Ordway in the Crime Doctor series of 10 films.
For his contributions to the motion-picture industry, Baxter has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[5]
Early life[edit]
Baxter was born on March 29, 1889.[6] in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio,[2] to Edwin F. Baxter, born October 1, 1867, Marysville, Union Co., Ohio[7] and Jennie (Jane) B. Barrett, born December 30, 1869, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.[8] Jennie Barrett was the daughter of Leroy Barrett and Hattie Snider.[9] (Note: Ohio Birth Index shows date as March 30, 1889.[10] Baxter's parents were married May 10, 1888, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.[11] Edwin Baxter owned a cigar stand in Columbus, Ohio.[12] Edwin F. Baxter, son of William E. Baxter and Mary C. Miller Baxter, died on September 16, 1889 at Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.[13][14] Baxter was not quite 5 months old when his father died. Baxter's mother survived him by ten years. Jane/Jennie Barrett Baxter died on March 29, 1962 at her home in Beverly Hills, California.[15] Her cremated remains were inurned at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Great Mausoleum, Glendale, California.[16]
Baxter and his mother went to live with her brother in Columbus. They later moved to New York City, where he became active in dramatics, both participating in school productions and attending plays. In 1898, the two moved to San Francisco, where he graduated from Polytechnic High School. When the 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck, Baxter and his mother lived in Golden Gate Park for eight days and then went to live with friends in Alameda for three months. In 1908, they returned to Columbus. After selling farm implements for a living, Baxter worked for four months as the partner of Dorothy Shoemaker in an act on the Keith Vaudeville Circuit.[3]
Film career[edit]
Baxter began his film career as an extra in 1914 in a stock company. He had his first starring role in Sheltered Daughters (1921), and starred in 48 features during the 1920s. His most notable silent roles were in The Great Gatsby (1926), Aloma of the South Seas (1926) as an island love interest opposite dancer Gilda Gray, and an alcoholic doctor in West of Zanzibar (1928) with Lon Chaney.
Author David Shipman wrote in 1970, "'He is the beau ideal, a Valentino without a horse and the costume of a sheik. He is the fellow the girls meet around the corner, that is, if the fellow were Warner Baxter. He is the chap the lonely woman on the prairie sees when she looks at the men's ready-to-wear pages in the latest mail order catalogue'; this appraisal by Jim Tully appeared in Picturegoer in 1936. Baxter was certainly the inspiration for artwork in mail-order catalogues and adverts for pipes, the prototype for men modelling cardigans or pullovers or tweeds. During the early Sound period he was one of Hollywood's leading actors. There was no éclat with him no scandals, no Hollywood careering. Women liked him because he was mature and reliable. He was a good work-horse of an actor, often at the mercy of his material. When it was good, he gave positive, likeable performances. It was a long career but he is hardly remembered today."[17]
Baxter's most notable starring role was as the Cisco Kid in In Old Arizona (1929), the first all-talking Western, for which he won the second Academy Award for Best Actor. He also starred in 42nd Street (1933), Grand Canary (1934), Broadway Bill (1934), and Kidnapped (1938).
By 1936, Baxter was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, but by 1943, he had slipped to B movie roles, and he starred in a series of Crime Doctor films for Columbia Pictures. Baxter had roles in more than 100 films between 1914 and 1950.[18] In 1936, Baxter had what Leonard Maltin considered his finest job of acting in John Ford's "The Prisoner of Shark Island."[19]
Between 1935 and 1941, Internal Revenue Service published annually the individuals with the highest incomes. These amounts may differ from other published sources that are usually higher. Baxter was under contract for a full years service to 20th Century Fox. Normally top talent contracts ran for seven years and allowed for six weeks off per year. The IRS stated in 1935, Baxter made $203,000 ($3,837,319.19 in 2019), 1936 reported $284,000 ($5,315,313.12 in 2019), and for 1937, $225,961 ($4,082,105.70 in 2019). As stated earlier, he was the highest paid contract actor in 1936.[20] In contrast toward the end of his career, Baxter signed a contract with Columbia Picture Corporation on July 1, 1947 for two pictures per year for the next two years effective December 8, 1947. The terms were that he be paid initially in increments of $12,000 a week the sum of $30,000 ($348,337.37 in 2019) for each picture. He also was to pay 1.5% of his compensation to the Motion Picture Relief Fund. Each picture was to be filmed in 3 1/2 weeks. Principal filming if beyond the 3 1/2 weeks was to be compensated additionally at a rate of $6,000 per week. The US minimum wage in 1947 was $0.40 per hour. The films described were a "Crime Doctor" story based on the radio program of the same name or another so-called "crime" film. He was to be given script approval and star billing above the title. His day was limited to nine hours within a 24 hour period with principal filming to begin at 10 AM to include one hour for meals during his workday. He was also obligated to participate in still photography, advertising and publicity to be in "good taste" and was not to travel by air during principal photography without written permission from the studio. Travel and lodging in excess of 25 miles from the studio would be at studio expense. As was common in this era he was to supply his own modern wardrobe, wearing apparel and shoes if called for by the story. Damage to his own personal wardrobe would be paid for by the studio. Character costumes and shoes would be supplied if necessary by the studio. Baxter was represented by Philip M. Schiefer Agency at 9172 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles 46, California.[21]
Between 1930 and 1936, Myrna Loy was costarred with Baxter four times. Renegades, Penthouse, Broadway Bill, and To Mary-With Love. She wrote in her 1987 autobiography, "And I have fond memories of Warner, a good actor and a charming man, because we did several pictures together. Renegades was a happy film because of them (Baxter and director Victor Fleming). Of Renegades, Warner Baxter said it was so hot "they had to keep the cameras packed in ice-bags like a fever patient so the celluloid wouldn't catch fire."[22] Loy liked and respected Baxter, a high-salaried (because he'd won an Oscar in 1928 for his work in Old Arizona), competent, and darkly handsome but rather stiff and bland Ohio native with whom she'd appear again.[23] Only two other actors did she costar with more often, Clark Gable and William Powell."[24]
Toward the end of Baxter's career and life he wrote a one time guest column published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1948, entitled "The Roll I Liked Best." He wrote in part, "I must admit that I rate the Kid's (Cisco Kid) first film, In Old Arizona, as my top favorite." He went on to write how as an early "talkie" and the first outdoor talking feature picture made they had to hide microphones in trees and behind rocks at that time. "In Old Arizona started as a two-reeler and we built it up to an eight-reeler. I thoroughly enjoyed the building-up part. It made me feel that I had helped create a new Cisco Kid for the pictures. Then, too, the fact that I got an Oscar for the job caused me no pain." He said this film allowed him to ultimately play the roll of Cisco five times. Arizona Kid in 1930 was the second of five. He liked the warmth and color of the character while modifying O. Henry's story with comedy and drama.[25] In keeping his Oscar in proper perspective, around 1945, Life Magazine photographed him with the trophy but never published it. The photo shows Baxter in a club chair in his Beverly Hills home looking fondly at his dog, an American Cocker Spaniel on the floor. The dog's leash is anchored to his gold Oscar and sitting on the floor with the dog.[26]
For a number of years stunt man and western actor Frank McGrath known best for his roll on the TV series Wagon Train was a stand-in and stunt double for Baxter. He so greatly resembled Baxter that they could have passed for brothers per Los Angeles Times reporter John Scott. The two men formed a friendship outside of the studios and McGrath worked in several capacities for him away from filming.[27] Studio still photos exist today from 20th Century Fox film "Slave Ship" (1937) showing identically dressed Baxter and McGrath looking like brothers.
Personal life[edit]
Baxter married Viola Caldwell in 1911, but they were soon separated and then divorced in 1913. He married actress Winifred Bryson in 1918, remaining married until his death in 1951.[28]
Married Viola Pauline Calwell, born September 2, 1888, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada,[29] in 1914 at Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. NOTE: her surname was COLWELL on license and several census sheets.[30]
Married Winifred M. Bryson on January 29, 1918, Bronx, New York City, New York.[31]
Draft Registration for World War One, living at 333 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, CA. Gave date of birth of March 29, 1889. Stated sole support of mother.[32]
Registered Republican 1924 though 1950.[33]
Baxter had a personal listing submitted by him in Who's Who of California in 1928. He stated his address, listed his birth date correct but taking four years off his age, Mason, Republican, Protestant and was a member of the Maskers Club, Hollywood Athletic, and both the Edgewater Beach and Casa del Mar Clubs in Santa Monica.[34]
August 5, 1931, Survived uninjured with 40 other cast and crew members the train derailment of the Southern Pacific Argonaut east of Yuma on route to Tucson for location shooting for The Cisco Kid (1931). Two trainmen were killed in the derailment. Baxter, Conchita Montenegro, and Edmund Lowe were among the passengers in cars at the end of the train.[35]
Homeowner living at 138 S. Beachwood Drive, Los Angeles, California with wife and two household servants on April 8, 1930. Lived there as early as 1924. House is existent as of 2020.[36][37]
Homeowner living at 688 Nimes Road, Bel Aire, Los Angeles, California with wife, Winifred, and four household servants on April 10, 1940. The house was razed in 1985.[38] The Tudor styled house situated on four acres was 16,000 square feet containing 7 kitchens. The house, pool, garages, tennis court and outbuildings were designed in 1932 by architect Harry G. Werner. It was ready for occupancy in 1933. Among other unique features, the house had secret panels and passageways, due to low cost of electricity at the time it was constructed the house was entirely electric with a heating system for each room along with a communications system. It was obviously built on that scale for entertaining.[39] After Baxter sold it the house underwent major modernization during the ownership of Barbie Doll creator Jack Ryan who owned it from 1963 until 1977.
Homeowner living at 911 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, CA from 1944 until his death. His widow continued to live in the house through the 1960s with her second husband. In the 1960s it was owned by actress Elizabeth Montgomery, daughter of actor Robert Montgomery. The house razed in 2019.[40]
Beach house at 77 Malibu Beach, Malibu, California for many years.[41] Was very active in Malibu civic affairs. Was named Honorary Mayor of Malibu from 1946, replacing Brian Donlevy, through 1949.[42]
He was a close friend of William Powell with whom he had starred in three films, and was at Powell's side when Jean Harlow died in 1937.[18]
When not acting, Baxter was an inventor who co-created a searchlight for revolvers in 1935, which allowed a shooter to more clearly see a target at night. He also developed a radio device that allowed emergency crews to change traffic signals from two blocks away, providing them with safe passage through intersections. He financed the device's installation at a Beverly Hills intersection in 1940.[18]
Baxter suffered from arthritis for several years, and in 1951, he underwent a lobotomy as a last resort to ease the chronic pain.[43][44] On May 7, 1951, he died of pneumonia at age 62[2] and was interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. His grave is located in the private section, Garden of Memory. His bronze headstone has a reproduction of his signature. The inscription is in the handwriting of his wife, Winifred Bryson Baxter.[45][46]
Warner Leroy Baxter's death certificate stated the following. He died at his residence on May 7, 1951 at 5:50 PM, 911 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, California. Informant Philip M. Schiefer (his manager). The death certificate further stated, "Cause of Death, Broncho-pneumonia, terminal 24 hrs. Carcinoma of prostate with generalized metastasis - 6 months. Treatment: 1/8/1943 to death; no operation; no autopsy."[47]
His funeral was held at the Wee Kirk O' The Heather chapel at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California on May 11, 1951. The service was conducted by Dr. Franklin Kelly of Christ Church, Unity. The Los Angeles Times noted that the private funeral service was markedly reminiscent of the film capitol's earlier days. Among his pallbearers were long time close friends Ronald Colman, William Powell, and Tim McCoy. He was buried in a bronze casket with a portrait of his wife.[48]
Prior to his death he was reported on February, 6, 1951, to being "seriously ill" with a "chronic illness" in hospital since January 18, 1951. It mentions he was much improved and celebrated his 33rd wedding anniversary on January 29.[49] On April 8, 1951, the L A Times reported the actor being ill at home the last month. His doctors John Sharpe and Richard Barton reported his "condition is steadily becoming more critical.[50] On April 21, 1951, the L A Times reported that Baxter was out of the hospital following "a cranial nerve operation described as a "complete success" by Phil Schaefer, Baxter's manager. He said Baxter "had suffered for years from a chronic illness which caused eating difficulties and induced malnutrition."[51]
On June 13, 1951, his last will and testament dated April 10, 1946 was entered into probate at Los Angeles. He left all his property to his wife and no valuation was made in the documents other that stating it will exceed $10,000.[52] His obituary stated in recent years he had long been interested in real estate and business projects.[53]
In 1960, Baxter posthumously received a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6284 Hollywood Boulevard.[5]

Margery Nicolson's generosity was instrumental in conservation work across the Audubon network. She was an accomplished scientist and a dear friend to many at the sanctuary and at Audubon.
Margery's long-time love of science led to her completing a Master's in Chemistry from Stanford University and a PhD in Molecular Biology from Baylor University in Texas. In 1960, while living in Texas, she met her husband, Iain, at a folk dancing class. Originally from Scotland, Iain's deep love of the environment fit perfectly with Margery's interest in science and travel.
The couple first traveled to Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary in the late 1990's to view the Sandhill Crane migration. They fell in love with the cranes and immediately connected to Audubon's mission. In a 2012 interview with the National Audubon Society she stated, "We were just enchanted… It's a spectacle you won't see anywhere else in the world."
After Iain passed away in 2001, Margery made a significant contribution making it possible for Audubon to build a center, the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center. The construction brought on new programs, events, and hosting opportunities that would not have been possible without her.
Margery's generosity helped create a bright future for cranes and the Platte River for nearly 20 years. During this time she was also a dedicated volunteer during crane season. Whether she was leading a crane tour or simply restocking the gift shop, she brought joy to everyone around her.
"She never missed an opportunity to visit Rowe and volunteer," said Taddicken. "She was a dedicated volunteer, advocate for conservation, and a wonderful friend."
Her passion for traveling brought her across the country, igniting a passion for birds in multiple states.
She was one of the original board members of Audubon Alaska when it was formed in 2001. She served on the Alaska state board for several terms and remained a strong supporter for the rest of her days. She is remembered by John Schoen, Audubon Alaska's current board chair as "a significant force on our board and provided much valuable advice and counsel to the staff, both as a pioneering scientist and as a bird enthusiast."
Over the years, she joined other Audubon Alaska donors on many wilderness adventures throughout Alaska. From floating down a river in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to birding in Denali National Park to bear viewing at the McNeil River to whale watching along the coasts of the Tongass National Forest, Margery was game for anything. She had a great love for Alaska and passion for conservation of its wildlife and public lands.
She was also deeply involved in Audubon's work in her home state of California, where she served several times on the board of directors. Andrea Jones, director of bird conservation for Audubon California, says she had a special connection to the Eastern Sierra.
"I remember standing with Margery in the Alabama Hills, with Mt. Whitney as our back drop," said Jones. "We talked about Audubon's work at Owens Lake, which Margery supported, and I listened to Margery wistfully talk about her long treks backpacking in the Sierra with her husband. I remember her drifting off, and I think she was back in those mountains. The eastern Sierra habitats and Owens Valley held a special place in her heart."
But her time with Audubon only scratches the surface of her conservation work. She also made contributions and served on boards at the International Crane Foundation and several other environmental organizations.
Audubon will continue Margery's legacy of conservation in Nebraska, across the western states, and in Alaska—all places she loved.
In lieu of flowers and cards, Margery hoped that those who knew her would give a gift in her name to the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary.

Concerns have been raised over plans to build 200 houses in a town which residents claim is already at "full capacity".
Barratt Homes has submitted an outline planning application to develop a "sustainable new community" on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) at the Bayfields in Chepstow.
The proposed site comprises three agricultural fields located between the AONB to one side and the 'built form' of Chepstow to the other.
With approval granted in 2017 by Monmouthshire County Council for the nearby development of up to 450 homes on the former Mabey Bridge site close to the town centre, coupled with hundreds more approved immediately across the border in south Gloucestershire, residents fear the latest plans will "cripple" Chepstow – one of the most polluted areas in Britain.
Air pollution in the town exceeds limits set by the World Health Organization and there have been long-standing calls for a Chepstow bypass to ease traffic congestion on the A48 at Hardwick Hill and A466 High Beech roundabout.
Shaun Hartley of the Bayfield Residents' Association said: "It is clear that Chepstow has neither the resources nor the infrastructure to support the proposed Bayfields development, particularly in the context of the circa 1,000 houses already approved for development in the town.
"The local primary school, doctors and dentists are all at capacity and Chepstow is at breaking point with regard to traffic congestion. Yet this development, on the fringe of town, would encourage at least 200 extra cars onto the roads and will bring further pollution to a town that is on record as suffering from some of the most polluted air in Wales.
"No-one truly knows what impact the removal of the M4/M48 bridge tolls will have but as locals we are facing government-projected traffic growth of up to 60 per cent, a good portion of which will flow via Chepstow as it connects with Gloucestershire and the Wye Valley."
Monmouth MP David Davies said there needed to be "careful consideration" of the impact on highway capacity and air quality – and said a way should be found for developers to contribute towards infrastructure investments.
"We certainly need to look at ways of getting more money out of developers to tackle these infrastructure challenges when large numbers of people move into a small town which is already full," said Mr Davies.
"The Welsh Government is prevaricating over the need for a bypass around Chepstow which would solve some of the traffic and pollution problems but we cannot realistically see this happening for a number of years.
"I fully understand the need for new housing but would have thought it might be better to build on more sustainable brownfield land in the Severnside area between Newport and Chepstow with access to either the M4 or M48."

King Kull, along with his friend Brule and a group of Red Slayers enter the Forbidden Swamp, trying to locate the Temple of the Serpent-Men believed to be hidden within. They kill several Serpent-Men along the way until they finally spy the temple on the other side of a large river. They fashion a raft out of logs and attempt to cross the river when they hear chanting from three Serpent-Men priests. The chanting brings forth a giant river dragon, which nearly kills the group of adventurers. They manage to get across the river, however, and kill the priests with Kull proving immune to their weapons. Kull alone enters the temple where he encounters Thulsa Doom, who claims that he had come to the temple to rescue his beloved, but was too late as her body lay prostrate across the alter. Kull invites Thulsa back to his city despite the protestations of Brule and the others who have heard rumours of the lord's evil ways. Kull dismisses their warnings, however, saying that he will be welcome until he does something to make himself unwelcome.

So I'm living in UK and I'm looking for a first car. I read up some horror stories about insurance for inexperienced drivers being as high as
No announcement yet.
Cheap first car
new posts
Well, you're lucky you don't live in Ireland, its down right ridiculous over here with some borderline criminal quotes to younger drivers.... Still I do sympatize with you, but my only advice is to try and find a car that's cheapish to insure first and build up some no claims bonus and good track record. Do your research with plenty of car alternatives to see which car is least expensive for you.Think more in line with a 1-litre Polo or Corsa instead of a Mk4 Supra...

So did you create a shortlist of your possible first car?

Well, having a Japanese car as the first one seems to be a good idea. Those cars are a really good, and you won't have to maintain it. I think that a Japanese car is the best option for the first car of yours. That's why I bought a Toyota for my son, for his 18th birthday. It is an old fashion Toyota Celica, but it is a very good one, he won't have any troubles with this car. It took me a lot of time to find this car, and a little time more to find out how should I transport this car as I found it a 1000 mile away. The only one option left was to ship this car, but I've heard a lot of rumors about shipping services as they might lose your car or damage it badly, so I was looking for a very good Shipping service. A friend of mine told me that I should use the www.Shipaa.com as this is the best service on the market. They have new trucks, open and enclosed type of transportation, door to door or terminal to terminal transportation and a GPS tracking system to track your car. Well, I used their services and to be honest, I was really pleased, this service is 100% the bestLast edited by GoodFollow; 12-05-2020, 05:35 PM.
Second that regarding the Toyota idea GoodFollow. Would stay away from the likes of a VW, especially having recently had a client with $5000 second hand Bora tell me he was quoted $2000 to fix the non-functioning rear door central locking.
Can understand that it can be hard for a young person to work toward something that has a bit of go and a touch of cred on a tight budget, though ultimately reliability and inexpensive service costs are positive elements for those on a budget over the time of ownership.
Perhaps what ever you look at, there may be a secondhand buyers guide that indicates not only insurance costs though service costs also. A pre-purchase inspection might seem a tad expensive intially, especially for a car you may not end up buying, though a few quid up front might save you quite a bit down the track. An automatic gearbox that hasn't been serviced or some failed electrical component can be pricey. So yep, settle on a budget, a few models that kinda suit and then do your research on issues/recalls for the model you decide.
Hope that helps mate.
Here in Spain, I would recommend the SR20DE Nissan Primera, cause they are really common, quite cheap to buy and maintain, and very reliable.
Also, having a 110 KW. engine in a car than weight less than 1.2 ton, is quite rewarding on curvy roads.
But i'm not sure if the Primera is also common in the UK.

ShareOn one of these sale days, I saw a mother lead seven children to the auction block. She knew that some of them would be taken from her; but they took all. The children were sold to a slave-trader, and their mother bought by a man in her own town. Before night her children were all far away. She begged the trader to tell her where he intended to take them; this he refused to do. How could he, when he knew he would sell them, one by one, wherever he could command the highest price? I met that mother in the street, and her wild, haggard face lives to-day in my mind. She wrung her hands in anguish, and exclaimed, "Gone! All gone! Why don't God kill me?" I had no words wherewith to comfort her. Instances of this kind are of daily, yea, of hourly occurrence.

Quotes About Martyrdom In Love
Enjoy reading and share 18 famous quotes about Martyrdom In Love with everyone.
"Their example gives witness to the fact that baptism commits Christians to participate boldly in the spread of the Kingdom of God, cooperating if necessary with the sacrifice of ones own life ... This martyrdom of ordinary life is a particularly important witness in the secularized societies of our time. It is the peaceful battle of love that all Christians, like Paul, have to fight tirelessly; the race to spread the Gospel that commits us until death. May Mary, Queen of Martyrs and Star of Evangelization, help us and assist us in our daily witness."
— Pope Benedict XVI —
"Without love everything can be nothing. Does that make me want to love? No. For me, Ignorance is still better than martyrdom."
— Ira N. Barin
"I believe there is no greater act of marital love or martyrdom than attending an event involving your spouse's family without your spouse in attendance."
— Melanie Shankle
"And why does it make you sad to see how everything hangs by such thin and whimsical threads? Because you're a dreamer, an incredible dreamer, with a tiny spark hidden somewhere inside you which cannot die, which even you cannot kill or quench and which tortures you horribly because all the odds are against its continual burning. In the midst of the foulest decay and putrid savagery, this spark speaks to you of beauty, of human warmth and kindness, of goodness, of greatness, of heroism, of martyrdom, and it speaks to you of love."
— Eldridge Cleaver
"He prizes me as a soldier would a good weapon, and that is all. [ ... ] Can I receive from him the bridal ring, endure all the forms of love [ ... ] and know that the spirit was quite absent? Can I bear the consciousness that every endearment he bestows is a sacrifice made on principle? No: such a martyrdom would be monstrous. I will never undergo it."
— Charlotte Brontë
"For a true spiritual transformation to flourish, we must see beyond this tendency to mental self-flagellation. Spirituality based on self-hatred can never sustain itself. Generosity coming from self-hatred becomes martyrdom. Morality born of self-hatred becomes rigid repression. Love for others without the foundation of love for ourselves becomes a loss of boundaries, codependency, and a painful and fruitless search for intimacy. But when we contact, through meditation, our true nature, we can allow others to also find theirs."
— Sharon Salzberg
"The most degrading cross has always produced the greatest glory and force, as long as the humility of the martyrdom is sincere. But do you have that humility? What you need is not a challenge but infinite humility and humiliation! You mustn't despise those who judge you, but believe in them sincerely, as in a great church; then you will triumph over them and turn them toward you by your example, and you will be united in love
ah, if only you could endure it!"
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"A martyrdom is always the design of God, for His love of men, to warn them and to lead them, to bring them back to His ways. It is never the design of man; for the true martyr is he who has become the instrument of God, who has lost his will in the will of God, and who no long desires anything for himself, not even the glory of being a martyr."
— T.S. Eliot
"He learned that love is not all pleasure, but can be agony and heartache, martyrdom and sacrifice. He learned what the clergyman was talking about in the marriage service: for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part."
— Upton Sinclair
"It is not easy to explain why God permits evil; but it is impossible for an atheist to explain the existence of goodness. How could a spiritless, soul-less, cross-less, Godless universe become the center of faith, purity, sacrifice, and martyrdom? How can decency be the decent thing if there is no God? Since God is love, why should we be surprised that want of it should end in pain, hate, broken hearts, and war?"
— Fulton J. Sheen
"Her beauty is not just-or even primarily-physical. In her face, I see her wisdom, her compassion, her courage, her eternal glory. This other beauty, this spiritual beauty-which is the deepest truth of her-sustains me in times of fear and despair, as other truths might sustain a priest enduring martyrdom at the hands of a tyrant. I see nothing blasphemous in equating her grace with the mercy of God, for the one is a reflection of the other. The selfless love that we give to others to the point of being willing to sacrifice our lives for them, is all the proof I need that human beings are not mere animals of self-interest; we carry within us a divine spark, and if we chose to recognize it, our lives have dignity, meaning, hope. In her it is spark is bright, a light that heals rather than wounds me."
— Dean Koontz
"Do good under all circumstances, but with no care for any profit, or any blessedness, or any damnation, or any salvation, or any martyrdom; but all you do or omit should be for the honor of Love."
— Hadewijch
"God sends such purgations to you, directors of consciences, that you may acquire the science of the saints and the art of directing souls. You will suffer also in another way. Love will be your executioner. Let it do its work; it knows how. In this martyrdom we have need of extraordinary grace and strength; but God will bestow it. Without this divine help it would be impossible to bear up."
— Paul Of The Cross
"The Prayer of the sick person is his patience and his acceptance of his sickness for the love of Jesus Christ. Make sickness itself a prayer, for there is none more powerful, save martyrdom!"
— Saint Francis De Sales
"Martyrdom does not consist only in dying for one's faith. Martyrdom also consists in serving God with love and purity of heart every day of one's life"
— St. Jerome
"Love makes the whole difference between an execution and a martyrdom."
— Evelyn Underhill
"Their example gives witness to the fact that baptism commits Christians to participate boldly in the spread of the Kingdom of God, cooperating if necessary with the sacrifice of one's own life ... This martyrdom of ordinary life is a particularly important witness in the secularized societies of our time. It is the peaceful battle of love that all Christians, like Paul, have to fight tirelessly; the race to spread the Gospel that commits us until death. May Mary, Queen of Martyrs and Star of Evangelization, help us and assist us in our daily witness."
— Pope Benedict XVI
"We cannot look upon our lives as dreams of a dreamer who has no awakening in all time. We have a personality to which matter and force are unmeaning unless related to something infinitely personal, whose nature we have discovered, in some measure, in human love, in the greatness of the good, in the martyrdom of heroic souls, in the ineffable beauty of nature, which can never be a mere physical fact nor anything but an expression of personality."
— Rabindranath Tagore
"Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart
The heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd
To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom."
— Lord Byron
