Summer months are often filled with sports clinics, camps, library reading clubs, trips to the swimming pool and family vacations for many school-age children. But for some children, summer break means extra time in front of the television or computer screen with little parental supervision. And there are other children whose parents would like to help, but they don't know how or don't realize the importance of staying academically stimulated. Why does it matter? Students who do little during the summer months to stimulate their minds experience what is known as "summer slide." This is when they lose . . .

Old-fashioned Cherry Cake
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes.
- method
- Ingredients
Begin by preparing the cherries.
If they're dripping in syrup, pat them dry with kitchen paper, then slice each one into four.
For the cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light, pale and fluffy. Now gradually beat in the whisked eggs a little at a time.
Then sift the flour and baking powder together, and carefully fold this into the creamed mixture using a metal spoon. Toss two thirds of the cherries together with the ground almonds and carefully fold these into the cake, adding one or two drops of almond extract and the milk.
Now spoon the cake mix into the prepared tin, level off the top with the back of a spoon, then sprinkle over the remaining third of the cherries and poke them just under the surface with a teaspoon.
Bake the cake near the centre of the oven for 50 minutes, then cover with foil and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes, or until the centre is springy to touch.
Cool the cake in the tin for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool.
Store in an airtight tin.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4

Italy and Africa
|The Light blue color represents the countries conquered by Italy
Italian Conquered Countries:
North Africa (now Libya)
Somaliland (now Somalia)
Scramble for Africa (aka. Race for Africa, or African Fever) is an invasion of highly powered European countries during the New Imperialism period, that is between 1881 and World War I of 1914. Italy is one of the many great European countries that would conquer the parts of Africa. Italy begins to accept the policy of Imperialism, because like many other European countries, such as Great Britain or France, they were expanding their territories all over the world, and creating small or large colonies. Italy also wanted to expand their territory as well, so they decide to conquer parts of Africa. They also realize that having more colonies would improve their economy and increase strength in government power. For Italy, Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini and Victor Emmanuel III would be the men in charge of the invasions in Africa.
|Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini
|Victor Emmanuel III
Conquered African Nations
Italy decides that they would conquer northern part of Africa. At 1889, Italy first decides to conquer Somaliland (Somalia as of today). Then in 1912, Italy would take over North Africa (Libya as of today). Beside the two countries that Italy was able to conquer, Eritrea was already known as one of the Kingdoms of Italy during the 1890s. The reason behind why Italy is only able to conquer little amount of African countries is because many other European countries are racing to take over as much land as they can as well. During this race, all countries must fight for each other to see which country can "show off" how many more countries then can conquer.
Reasons of Controlling
Italy and along with many other European countries wants to conquer Africa, because they know that having more territory means that they would have more power and improved economy. Along with the ideas of more power and improved economy, conquering Africa meant that there would be more trading with lots of other countries. On a basic scale, conquering other lands won't just bring power and improved economy, but the resources in Africa would. In Africa, there is abundant amount of natural resources that the Italians could use back in their country, such as powering their machines or improving their technology.
Rulings of the Colonies
Like its home country, Italy, the African colonies that are owned by Africa rules very much the same. Sovereignty, the quality of having supreme, independent authority over a geographic area, such as territory, is the rule that all the Italian powers exercised. It is a rule where one with a greater power will have majority of all the powers. The Sovereignty rule has been existing for many centuries. It was established at about 1380s. Aside from the Monarchy in Italy, Sovereignty rules Italy for a very long time.
Obstacles Faced for Italy
Along with many other superior European countries, Italy has to control many obstacles as Italy is not the only country that wants to conquer Africa. Italy has to fight against other countries, such as Great Britain, France, or Germany. Whether it's in the battlefield or in the world of politics, Italy tries and fights the best they can, even if it means conquering a little part of the land. European countries aren't the only problem towards Italy. The natives of the African nations aren't too happy to find that another nation of greater power is taking over their land. Without any choice, the African nations forces to surrender, because Italy has far more greater military than any African nations do. As time passes by, the conquered African nations rises up and creates a rebellion to counter act against the military of Italy. However, the counter act fails and the rebellion has no choice but to surrender, sit still, and hope that something good will come to them.
For the nation of Eritrea, Italy was able to govern 15 more years before they would gain their independence. In 1947, Eritrea would finally gain their independence. On 1949, UN General Assembly agrees that North Africa should be an independent country before January 1, 1952. Then, on the day of Christmas Eve of 1951, North Africa gains their independence and renames their country Libya. In 1960, just like Eritrea, Italy was able to rule Somliland for 15 more years before they could gain their independence. The British and the Italian Somaliland would unite and be known as Somali Republic. Later in the years, Somali Republic would also be known as Somalia. For all the countries that were once ruled by Italy would gain their independence as World World II ends.

Leave it to the Daughter of St. Paul…when I first heard about their "TOB for Tots" books, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical.
I mean, REALLY? Can this be possible?
As it turns out, yes.
I've read John Paul II's Theology of the Body twice. I've studied commentaries on it and I've resolved that someday, in a different season of my life, I shall attend one of those institutes on it.
I've watched it become popular and even become a bit of a buzzword in some Catholic circles in the decade-plus since I've been Catholic. I've tried to explain it and, even more importantly, to internalize and live what it teaches.
There have been a number of resources for teens and even pre-teens that I've seen....READ MORE

Gateway to the Cardamoms: jungle trekking at Chi Phat
First things first: any journey into the Cardamoms is not for the faint-hearted. But if rugged isolation, bamboo whippings and medicinal bloodletting (read: leechfest!) are your idea of heaven, read on…
Chi Phat, a small village on the Preak Piphot River, sounded like a gentle introduction to tackling the vast wilderness of the Cardamoms. Formerly a hotspot of poaching and illegal logging, dusty Chi Phat has become a hub of environmentally-friendly adventure activities, thanks to the efforts of a community-based ecotourism initiative (CBET) shored up by the Wildlife Alliance.
My first afternoon at Chi Phat fitted the 'gentle introduction' bill, with a home-cooked lunch and a leisurely cycle to a secluded waterfall. This jungle business is a cinch, I sighed, the torrent pummelling my back. Twelve hours later and I was gagging on my words: after an unhurried boat ride upriver at dawn, I found myself trekking through a clammy jungle I never knew existed outside of Apocalypse Now. An unremitting barrage of leeches and an eight-hour squelch through rainforest that lived up to its name brought this Melbourne girl to the odd paroxysm or two, but as my guide pointed out the joyful hoots of swinging gibbons and telltale tracks of nearby sun bears, my apoplexy soon turned to awe.
A night in the jungle can be nerve-wracking, no matter how tightly your hammock is zipped; the forest pulses with the grunts of wild pigs, the slithering of snakes and ghostly calls from the treetops. But morning is a revelation; as my guide — an ex-poacher with invaluable local knowledge — hacked a path through clawing bamboo to a watering hole echoing with the cries of native hornbills, the sense of discovery and adventure was intoxicating.
My return to civilisation was meant to be hastened by mountain bike, but as I toppled repeatedly over tree roots, it seemed the jungle didn't want to let me go. And as forest gave way to fields, I realised: I didn't want to go either…
The Chi Phat CBET offers an ever-expanding range of Cardamoms eco-activities, including mountain biking, trekking, visits to ancient burial jars and wildlife expeditions.

Black-pencilled marmosets are found in the Neo-tropical gallery forests of the Brazilian Central Plateau. They live along the Brazillian coast ranging from Bahia to Sao Paulo, and as far inland as Goias, between 14 and 17 degrees S.
Biogeographic Regions: neotropical (Native )

Range Description
Surveys in the north of the state of Minas Gerais have shown that C. penicillata extends its range through the region between the upper Rio São Francisco and the Rio Jequitinhonha, along the western slopes of the Serra do Espinhaço. C. penicillata occurs both sides of the Rio Jequitinhonha as far east as the Rio Araçuaí, a south (right) bank tributary of the upper Jequitinhonha, beyond which it is restricted to the north of the river, with C. geoffroyi occurring to the south (Rylands et al. 1988), the result of a recent introduction (ca. 1975) in the vicinity of Belmonte (Coimbra-Filho unpubl.). C. penicillata is typically of the cerrado region of Minas Gerais (in the central, south-west, west, and north of the state). Those parts originally covered by Atlantic coastal forest in the east and south-east (the Zona da Mata) are the domain of C. geoffroyi, C. flaviceps, and in part of the Rio Doce valley, C. aurita. However, with the destruction of the forest and also resulting from introductions (misguided release of confiscated animals), C. penicillata is taking a hold and probably replacing other species in numerous localities east and south of its original range (see, for example, Olmos and Martuscelli 1995). This is happening in the Rio Doce State Park, and is possibly also the case of C. penicillata reported by Vivo (1991; see also Coimbra-Filho 1984) from the Itatiaia National Park straddling the border of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. In both cases, C. aurita is the species naturally occurring in the area.
Physical Description
Black-pencilled marmosets typically have some sparse white hairs on their faces, with a dark brown or black head. Their upper body and limbs are gray and their rump is usually black. The marmosets' undersides are black with a gray abdomen. Their tail is ringed with black and white and is not prehensile, but is used for balance. They are characterized by the black tufts around their ears. Black-pencilled marmosets do not have an opposable thumb and their nails tend to have a claw-like appearance.
Average mass: 454 g.
Range length: 22.86 to 27.94 cm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; heterothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: male larger
Average mass: 307 g.

Black-pencilled marmosets live in rainforests, usually residing high in the trees, under the canopy. Marmosets have rarely been observed at or near ground level.
Habitat Regions: tropical ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: rainforest

Habitat and Ecology
Marmosets and tamarins are distinguished from the other monkeys of the New World by their small size, modified claws rather than nails on all digits except the big toe, the presence of two as opposed to three molar teeth in either side of each jaw, and by the occurrence of twin births. They eat fruits, flowers, nectar, plant exudates (gums, saps, latex) and animal prey (including frogs, snails, lizards, spiders and insects). Marmosets have morphological and behavioural adaptations for gouging trees trunks, branches and vines of certain species to stimulate the flow of gum, which they eat, and in some species form a notable component of the diet (Coimbra-Filho 1972; Rylands 1984; Rylands and Faria 1993). The most specialized of the Callithrix marmosets in this respect are Callithrix jacchus and C. penicillata (see Rylands 1984; Fonseca and Lacher Jr. 1984; Lacher Jr. et al. 1984; Rylands 1984; Rylands and Faria 1993). They live in extended family groups of between four and 15 individuals. Generally, only one female per group breeds during a particular breeding season. Associated with their tree-gouging and gum-feeding specialisation, groups generally have small home ranges: 1.25 ha to 4.5 ha (Fonseca and Lacher Jr. 1984) or 3.5 ha (Faria 1986, 1989).
Callithrix pencillata has been the subject of a number of short studies (see, for example, Fonseca and Lacher Jr. 1984; Lacher Jr. et al. 1984; Faria 1984a,b, 1986, 1989; Miranda and Faria 2001; Vilela and Faria 2004; Vilela 2007).
Male 344 g (n=8) (Smith and Jungers 1997).
- Terrestrial
Trophic Strategy
Black-pencilled marmosets commonly feed on tree sap. During food shortages or droughts their diet also includes fruit and insects, and they have even been known to eat various arthropods, molluscs, and small vertebrates.
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods; mollusks
Plant Foods: fruit; sap or other plant fluids
Primary Diet: herbivore (Eats sap or other plant foods)
Black-pencilled marmosets are mutualists with many tree species, dispersing seeds of the fruit that they consume. They also act as parasites of other species of trees because they create sores in the trees in order to extract sap, while not positively affecting the tree in any way. They also serve as a source of prey for many larger animal species that reside in the forests, including large birds of prey, snakes, and wild cats.
Ecosystem Impact: disperses seeds

Black-pencilled marmosets are vulnerable to a wide range of both terrestrial and aerial predators. Aerial predators, large raptors, are considered the marmosets greatest threat, but they are also preyed upon by a variety of snakes and wild cats. Black-pencilled marmosets use a series of predator-specific vocalizations as well as visual scanning in their antipredation strategies.
Known Predators:
- diurnal birds of prey (Falconiformes)
- snakes (Serpentes)
- cats (Felidae)
Life History and Behavior
The communication of black-pencilled marmosets has not been fully studied, however, it is believed that they communicate mostly through vocalizations. They appear to have predator-specific cries when they are threatened and have many vocalizations in addition to predator warnings. Black-pencilled marmosets also use scent marking, though it is unclear whether this is a form of communication, as many different family groups simply ignore the markings that another family group has left.
Communication Channels: acoustic ; chemical
Other Communication Modes: scent marks
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Life Expectancy
The life-span of a wild black-pencilled marmoset is unknown, however the average lifespan in captivity is 15 years.

Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Black-pencilled marmosets are monogamous and typically live in family groups which include the reproducing couple and their offspring.
Mating System: monogamous
Black-pencilled marmosets breed twice a year and produce between 1 and 4 offspring, however they generally have twins. The gestation period is 150 days and offspring wean at about 8 weeks. The marmosets reach sexual maturity at approximately 18 months old. However, they typically mate very late.

Black-tufted marmoset
The black-tufted marmoset (Callithrix penicillata), also known as Mico-estrela in Portuguese, is a species of New World monkey that lives primarily in the Neo-tropical gallery forests of the Brazilian Central Plateau. It ranges from Bahia to Paraná,[3] and as far inland as Goiás, between 14 and 25 degrees south of the equator, and can commonly be seen in the City of Rio de Janeiro. This marmoset typically resides in rainforests, living an arboreal life high in the trees, but below the canopy. They are only rarely spotted near the ground.
Physical description[edit]
The black-tufted marmoset is characterized by black tufts of hair around their ears. It typically has some sparse white hairs on its face. It usually has a brown or black head and its limbs and upper body are gray, as well as its abdomen, while its rump and underside are usually black. Its tail is ringed with black and white and is not prehensile, but is used for balance. It does not have an opposable thumb and its nails tend to have a claw-like appearance. The black-tufted marmoset reaches a size of 19 to 22 cm and weighs up to 350 g.
Diurnal and arboreal, the black-tufted marmoset has a lifestyle very similar to other marmosets. It typically lives in family groups of 2 to 14. The groups usually consist of a reproductive couple and their offspring. Twins are very common among this species and the males, as well as juvenile offspring, often assist the female in the raising of the young.
Though the black-tufted marmoset lives in small family groups, it is believed that they share their food source, sap trees, with other marmoset groups. Scent marking does occur within these groups, but it is believed that the marking is to deter other species rather than other black-tufted marmoset groups, because other groups typically ignore these markings. They also appear to be migratory, often moving in relation to the wet or dry seasons, however, the extent of their migration is unknown.
Though communication between black-tufted marmosets has not been studied thoroughly, it is believed that it communicates through vocalizations. It has known predator-specific cries and appears to vocalize frequently outside of predator cries.
Food and predation[edit]
The Black-tufted Marmoset diet consists primarily of tree sap which it gets by nibbling the bark with its long lower incisors. In periods of drought, it will also include fruit and insects in its diet. In periods of serious drought it has also been known to eat small arthropods, molluscs, bird eggs, baby birds and small vertebrates.
Large birds of prey are the greatest threat to the black-tufted marmoset, however, snakes and wild cats also pose a danger to them. Predator-specific vocalizations and visual scanning are its only anti-predation techniques.
The black-tufted marmoset is monogamous and lives in family groups. It reproduces twice a year, producing 1 to 4 offspring, though most often just twins. Its gestation period is 150 days and offspring are weaned after 8 weeks. There is considerable parental investment by this species, with both parents, as well as older juveniles, helping to raise the young. The offspring are extremely dependent on their parents and though they are sexually mature at 18 months, they typically do not mate until much later, staying with their family group until they do.
Ecosystem roles and conservation status[edit]
The black-tufted marmoset is a mutualist with many species of fruit trees because it distributes the seeds from the fruit it consumes throughout the forests. However, it is a parasite on other species of trees because it creates sores in trees in order to extract sap, while offering no apparent benefit to the trees. Though this marmoset is not a main food source to any specific species, it is a food source to a number of different species, specifically large birds of prey, wild cats, and snakes.
While there are no known negative effects of marmosets towards humans, it carries specific positive effects by being a highly valuable exotic pet. It is also used in zoo exhibits and scientific research.
The black-tufted marmoset is listed as having no special status on the IUCN Red List or the United States Endangered Species Act List. It is listed in Appendix II of CITES and is not currently considered an endangered or threatened species. In Rio de Janeiro State, where it was introduced alongside the common marmoset, it is considered as an invasive species posing a danger to the survival of the endangered Golden Lion Tamarin through competition. Management of the species in its invaded habitat has included proposals for sterilization of reproductive-age individuals, relocation, and public awareness campaign for prevention of further releases.[4]

NEW YORK -- Attorneys for Chrysler LLC said the company will file a motion by this morning to sell substantially all of its assets to Italian automaker Fiat Group SpA, but that won't include eight plants, including five that the automaker revealed it will shutter by the end of next year.
While Chrysler faced its first hearing Friday in Manhattan bankruptcy court, court documents showed the ailing automaker plans to close plants in Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin that employ about 4,800 people. Chrysler said they will be offered jobs at other plants.
Judge Arthur Gonzalez approved a series of motions at the swift hearing, launching a chain of events designed to ensure that Chrysler's bankruptcy process is the quick and "surgical" one the company and the U.S. government have promised.
But what could prove to be the case's biggest challenge still lies ahead. Chrysler must eventually deal with creditors who refused to come to a deal that would have erased much of the automaker's debt and might have avoided a bankruptcy filing in the first place.

For the second year running, the weather has disrupted the
261km Wild Descent kayak race down the Clutha River from
Albert Town, Wanaka, to Molyneux Bay, near Balclutha.
The event was due to start tomorrow but has been put back to
April 24.
Race director Warren Bates told the Otago Daily Times
yesterday that it had been an ''incredibly hard decision'' to
postpone the event, particularly as teams from Australia and
the United States had already arrived.
As well, volunteers helping to organise the event along the
river were ready to go. Some volunteers from the North Island
had been on their way south.
However, information from Contact Energy showed the Clutha
River catchment was quite full and little could be done to
control flows.
As well, more rain was forecast for today and tomorrow.
Mr Bates said the possibility of willows trapping kayakers
was one of the main safety concerns.
About 25 two-person teams had entered the event.

Paul Cook's Chesterfield were good value for a first-half lead, courtesy of Jay O'Shea, only for Kortney Hause to level matters in first-half stoppage time.
Both sides went close after the interval but Jo Kuffour's brilliantly improvised finish - his first goal in Wycombe colours - consigned the visitors to a third successive league defeat on their travels.
Ainsworth said: "For 44 minutes we didn't turn up and I've told the lads, it's the second time I've had to lose it with them.
"That has been my most forceful team talk yet; I had to get a performance out of them second half because first half we didn't turn up at all.
"I'm so pleased with the reaction that we got second half, and I'm so pleased for Jo Kuffour getting a goal. Second half we did it right and we rightfully got the three points.
"I have standards and they have to be met. I'm pleased with the result and at last we've got a free week, because a few of the boys are dead on their feet.
"Age means nothing to me because I know ability and form at the moment is important.
"If Kortney (Hause) keeps performing the way he has, he'll keep playing. And I'm sure he has got a big future because he's looking very assured."

In my Silverlight application which uses MVVM, I have a chart(3rd party ComponentOne) which plots huge data hence takes good amount of time to render.
I have an ObservableCollection(say chartDataCollection), in my ViewModel, which is bind to data source of chart.
In some of the scenarios, I add 100s of items in chartDataCollection which leads to CollectionChange event being fired 100s times and renders the chart every time which takes lots of time.
Is there anyway in C# by which I can group together these update and notify to UI only once when I am done? Something like we used to in Winforms world while adding data to datagrid using BeginUpdate and EndUpdate statements.

John Nichols: Will Kagan Take Up Stevens's Fight for Checks on Executive Power?Roundup: Media's Take
[John Nichols, a pioneering political blogger, has written the Beat since 1999. His posts have been circulated internationally, quoted in numerous books and mentioned in debates on the floor of Congress.]
When President Obama taps Solicitor General Elena Kagan as his nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens this morning, he will be will making a cautious choice that runs the risk, in the words for former National Lawyers Guild president Marjorie Cohn "move the delicately balanced court to the Right."
Attorney General Eric Holder may believe that Kagan will "be a great justice,"
And there is no particular reason to argue with the assessment from People For the American Way President Michael B. Keegan, who said Monday that: "Elena Kagan is a bright and clearly qualified nominee.
But Keegan stopped short of a full embrace of the pick.
"I look forward to the confirmation process and learning more about the judicial philosophy she'll bring to the high court," the head of the liberal watchdog group, which has a long and admirable record of monitoring court picks. "This confirmation process presents a unique opportunity for a dialogue about the role of the Court and the meaning of our Constitution. Over recent years, the Roberts Court has pushed a political agenda from the bench, favoring corporations and powerful interests over the rights of ordinary people. We've seen longstanding Constitutional principles and laws designed to protect families and individuals casually tossed aside in pursuit of a rigidly conservative ideology.
Keegan says he looks forward to a "national conversation" about the Kagan nomination, and so should we all.
That conversation should begin with an honest admission that Kagan's record does not suggest that she will be as great, or as liberal, as Stevens....

The Flesh and the Fiends (US title Mania) is a 1960 British horror film directed by John Gilling. It stars Peter Cushing as 19th-century medical doctor Robert Knox, who purchases human corpses for research from a murderous pair named Burke and Hare (George Rose and Donald Pleasence).[1] The film is based on the true case of Burke and Hare, who murdered at least 16 people in 1828 Edinburgh, Scotland and sold their bodies for anatomical research.
In 1828 Edinburgh, Scotland, Dr. Knox (Peter Cushing) is a highly skilled anatomist who draws large crowds of medical students to his lectures on the human body. Though he is constantly at odds with his stuffy, backwards colleagues, he is highly venerated by his students and believes his duty is to push the medical profession forward. Unfortunately, due to the laws of the time very few cadavers are legally available to the medical profession, necessitating the use of graverobbers or "Resurrection men" to procure additional specimens. Dr. Knox's assistant Dr. Mitchell (Dermot Walsh) and a young student named Jackson (John Cairney) and are given the task of buying the bodies, which are worth a small fortune... especially when fresh.
Meanwhile, drunken miscreants William Burke (George Rose) and William Hare (Donald Pleasence) discover that a lodger at Burke's boarding house has died still owing £4 in rent. When they find that the body can make them a handsome profit, they begin a career of murdering locals and selling them to the medical school. When Jackson goes to a local tavern to give Burke and Hare their pay, he becomes involved with tempestuous local prostitute Mary Patterson (Billie Whitelaw), who is also well-known to the killers.
Over time, Jackson and Mitchell begin to suspect that the bodies supplied by Burke and Hare are victims of foul play. Despite their concerns, Dr. Knox dismisses any attempt at going to the police. When Jackson's new girlfriend Mary becomes their latest victim, Jackson discovers her body in the lecture room and he too is killed when he confronts the murderous duo. When they murder a well-known mentally ill youth (Melvyn Hayes), however, they quickly become murder suspects and are caught by an angry mob. Hare agrees to turn King's Evidence against his former partner and is set free, though vindictive locals catch him and burn out his eyes. Burke is executed by hanging, still complaining that Dr. Knox never paid him for the final body. Knox, for his part in the killings, is the object of widespread public outrage, but ultimately not punished or censured by his colleagues (to whom Dr. Mitchell eloquently defends him). Though he is free to continue lecturing, he ultimately feels guilt over his part in the horrors, admitting to his devoted niece Martha (June Laverick) that the murder victims "seemed so small in my scheme of things. But I knew how they died." The film ends with Knox, who assumes his lectures will now be empty, instead finding himself greeted with applause from a packed hall of students. Apparently a changed man, he begins his lecture with the Hippocratic Oath which includes the promise to "never do harm to anyone."

Writer/director John Gilling had previously written a film about Burke and Hare entitled The Greed of William Hart in 1948. At that time, however, the British Board of Film Censors demanded that all references to the real-life killers were removed, and so Gilling was forced to rename the killers and several other key characters. The Flesh and the Fiends restores the correct historical names and begins with the text: "[this] is a story of vice and murder. We make no apologies to the dead. It is all true." Gilling, along with Producers Robert S. Baker and Monty Berman of Tempean Films, formed Triad Productions specifically to make the film.[2] It was the first horror film to feature newly minted horror star Peter Cushing that was not produced by Hammer Studios.
In his autobiography, Cushing --who had been catapulted to fame by his portrayal of Dr. Victor Frankenstein in 1957's The Curse of Frankenstein-- compared the role of Dr. Knox to his most famous character: "Now it seemed to me that Knox and 'Frankenstein' had a lot in common. The minds of these exceptional men were driven by a single desire: to inquire into the unknown. Ahead of their time, like most great scientists, their work and motives were misunderstood."[3]
The drooping left eye which Cushing uses in his performance (emphasized in many of the film's posters, though not in the American one) is accurate to the real Dr. Knox, who had his left eye destroyed and his face disfigured by smallpox he contracted as an infant. [4]
The film was a box office disappointment.[1]

This article by general rapporteur Joachim Kersten introduces the reports which were presented at the Twelfth Criminological Colloquium, organised by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, from 24-26 November 1999. Europe is undergoing a phase of rapid change. This affects the conditions of policing in each country and on the European continent as a whole. It is actually the legal, political and cultural context of policing that is undergoing rapid change. This colloquium and earlier ones carried out by the Council of Europe served a crucial purpose: they are an assessment in the European context of what is happening in relation to the police, police ethics and human rights in democratic societies.

SCC's growth means new faculty and staff on Campus
Scorecard, get your scorecard - you can't tell the players without a scorecard!
That's the traditional cry from vendors at baseball parks across the country. The scorecard contains the current lineup for the teams and helps spectators keep track of who is in the game and the position they play.
The same can be said for the St. Catharine College Campus as several new "players" have joined the team, and some familiar faces have changed position.
It's no secret that SCC has grown considerably since its humble beginnings. As the Campus and curriculum has expanded, so has the size of the faculty and staff to accommodate that growth.
"When I first began, we had approximately 45 employees," said SCC President William Huston. "Today, we have 155 full-time employees and many part-time. The College is in an expansion mode and programs and staff responsibilities are expanding. With this, we are teaching more classes and have presences in Nelson and Marion counties. Our outreach to provide secondary options has continually grown. The recent approval for Masters Degrees will continue the recent trends."
Huston believes the additions to faculty and staff will work well with those who have been at SCC for a while.
"We are attracting bright individuals, not only from other universities and colleges, but from industry and the private sector as well," he added. "Anytime you are in a growth mode and bring new ideas to the team, it only stimulates those already here, as well as the new arrivals. Change is good. We hope we can continue to benefit from those who wish to share great experiences from previous employment. SCC is a great place to work and grow as we continue to transition into a post graduate institution. It is a place for 'builders and not maintainers'."

- Already whacked by a devalued yuan, Thailand's baht has now fallen to its weakest level since 2009 after a powerful bomb blast killed at least 20 people in Bangkok's central shopping district.
- The currency slid 0.6% to 35.581 per dollar, while the county's SET All-Share index dropped 2.5%.
- Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha described the bombing, which took place near a notable Hindu shrine, as the "worst ever attack" on the country.
- ETFs: THD, TTF
Jun. 16, 2014, 12:04 PM
- Thailand gained 1.1% overnight, putting the SET Index in bull market territory (20% above this year's low) amid hope the military takeover will stabilize things enough for the economy to get motoring again. An index of consumer confidence rose to 70.7 in May from 67.8 in April, the first gain in 14 months.
- Last week, the military lifted the curfew in Bangkok after earlier easing restrictions on Thailand's main tourist cities.
- ETFs: THD
May 23, 2014, 10:28 AM| May 23, 2014, 10:28 AM
May 22, 2014, 8:45 AM
- Two days after declaring martial law and saying there was no coup, Army Chief Prayuth Chan-Ocha took to national TV to say he's seizing control in order to restore the peace. It's the 12th military takeover since 1932.
- The move comes after months of street protests and the recent removal of the caretaker government of Yingluck Shinawatra by the Constitutional Court.
- The SET Index closed higher by 0.15%.
- Thai funds: THD, TTF
- Previously: Thailand bounces as military says it's not a coup
May 21, 2014, 10:51 AM
- A day after the army declared martial law and stocks fell 1.1%, Thailand's SET index gained 0.6%, with Army Chief Prayuth Chan-Ocha pledging this is not a coup, and that military control will be short. There have been about a dozen coups in Thailand since a constitutional monarchy was set up in 1932.
- The Philippine Stock Exchange halted a 2-day rally and fell 1.8% following the weak session the U.S.
- Indonesia bounced 0.3% one day after a big decline brought on by a key election-season political defection.
- ETFs: IDX, EIDO, IDXJ
May 8, 2014, 11:20 AM
- Adding to yesterday's charges which forced the resignation of PM Yingluck Shinawatra, she now may face criminal proceedings as the National Anit-Corruption Commission finds her guilty of mishandling a multi-billion dollar rice subsidy program.
- "The opposition will use other judicial challenges to peel off more cabinet members and seek to erode this caretaker government ability to govern in any capacity over the coming weeks," says Eurasia Group.
- Unsurprisingly, foreign investors exited, pulling $234M out of Thailand debt yesterday, the biggest withdrawal in nearly two months.
- Thai stocks ended 1.7% lower at 1,379.02
- ETFs: THD, TTF
Jan. 7, 2014, 8:49 AM
- Thai stocks (THD, TF, TTF) surge 2.6% in Bangkok.
- "Higher oil prices bolstered buying in energy stocks," Reuters notes.
- While the SET may be seeing some bargaining hunting at present, investors will be watching the political situation closely, as protestors have pledged to literally shutdown the capital on January 13; a show of defiance ahead of new elections planned for February.
Jan. 5, 2014, 10:48 AM
- There are now very real questions as to "how long Thailand's vast tourism industry can withstand the political pressure ahead of what could be some of the largest protests the country has seen thus far," the WSJ says.
- Demonstrators loyal to opposition leader Suthep Thaugsuban took to the streets in Bangkok Sunday and are reportedly planning their most ostentatious rally yet later this month.
- Although tourism in the country has proven resilient, the Journal notes that this time may indeed be different: "Singapore Airlines ... said it would cancel 19 flights to [Bangkok] between Jan. 14 and Feb. 25 as demand dwindles [and] hotel occupancy [is expected] to fall to 70-75% in Q1 compared with a more usual 80%."
- Meanwhile, Thai stocks (THD, TF, TTF) are off to their worst start for a year since 1988.
Jan. 3, 2014, 9:34 AM
- The SET Index (THD, TF, TTF) falls 0.5%, adding to Thursday's 5.2% decline — Thursday marked the worst start to a year for the country's equity market in at least two and a half decades.
- Thai shares are now trading at around 10.5X forward earnings, which is the cheapest they've been since the summer of 2012.
- "Market sentiment is very weak with no foreseeable solution on the current political deadlock in the near future," the CIO of the country's largest private money manager tells Bloomberg.
- In other regional action, Indonesian shares (IDX, IDXJ, EIDO) are lower by 1.6% and stocks in Malaysia (EWM) fall nearly 1%.
Dec. 27, 2013, 11:32 AM
- Thai shares (THD, TF, TTF) slip again, falling 0.75% in Bangkok.
- The country's army chief today indicated that contrary to earlier reports, a military coup is not out of the question. "I won't say open or closed. Everything depends on the situation," Prayuth Chan-ocha said.
- Meanwhile, the baht hit its lowest level since 2010 on capital outflow worries.
- For more on the political situation in Thailand, see here.
Dec. 26, 2013, 8:33 AM
- Thai shares (THD, TF, TTF) fall under pressure as the country's Election Commission suggests the country should postpone elections scheduled for February, as political turmoil persists.
- Not helping matters is a downward revision to the Finance Ministry's 2013 and 2014 GDP growth forecasts.
- The office now sees 2.8% growth this year and a 4% expansion next year, versus previous estimates of 3.7% and 5.1%, respectively.
- SET index -1.8%.
Dec. 25, 2013, 5:44 PM
- Thailand's Internal Security Act will be in effect for at least two more months, a government official says. The measure gives the police expanded powers as they attempt to manage the country's increasingly fragile political situation.
- Meanwhile, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has suggested that a 499-member National Reform Council be appointed to address possible changes to the country's constitution and electoral process.
- The opposition — who would generally prefer that no party linked to Yingluck's brother Thaksin Shinawatra be allowed to rule — claims the council would be beholden to Yingluck. "It is certain that she will interfere with the proposed council," an opposition spokesperson says.
- Thai stocks (THD, TF, TTF) are on watch as it remains to be seen whether protesters will make good on their promise to disrupt new elections set for February. The SET edged up 0.4% Wednesday.
Dec. 23, 2013, 10:03 AM
- Thai shares (THD, TF, TTF) slide 1.2% in Bangkok as political turmoil intensifies.
- Protestors have taken recently to surrounding Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's home and are now attempting to disrupt new elections.
- Amid the strife, the baht hit its lowest level in nearly four years — Thai shares have seen foreign outflows "for nearly every session since November," Reuters notes.
- Other Southeast Asian markets are quiet. Shares in Singapore (EWS, EWSS) are up 0.7%.
Dec. 17, 2013, 10:15 AM
- Thai (THD, TF, TTF) and Indonesian (IDX, EIDO, IDXJ) shares rebound from multi-month lows, rising 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively.
- Also rallying today are Philippine shares (EPHE), up 2% in Manila.
- Southeast Asian investors will be watching the Fed closely for hints about the taper, as many commentators still believe emerging markets will suffer once the FOMC begins to pare its asset purchases.
Dec. 9, 2013, 10:43 AM| Dec. 9, 2013, 10:43 AM
Dec. 8, 2013, 10:07 PM
- On watch this week are Thai stocks (THD, TF, TTF) as Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has dissolved Parliament amid escalating political tensions.
- Yingluck says there will now be "new elections according to the democratic system."
- The move comes as protesters are set to march on the prime minister's office Monday.
- Last week ended quietly as protesters and administration supporters paused to observe the king's birthday.
