The Mayor of the City of London is a Muggle individual.
Millennium Bridge disaster
- "The police are continuing with the investigation into the cause of the Millennium Bridge disaster. River traffic has been halted as police search for survivors. The surrounding area remains closed. The Mayor has urged Londoners to remain calm..."
- —A Muggle radio broadcast[src]
After the collapse of the Millennium Bridge at the hands of Fenrir Greyback and a group of Death Eaters, the Mayor urged Londoners to remain calm, for this was a most unusual event.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The existence of this individual constitutes an anachronism as the office was created by the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and the first Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, was elected in 2000. However, this character may alternatively be the Lord Mayor of London, which at the time was Sir Roger William Cork, the 669th in the post.

Press Release: Communications Office of Governor Rick Scott
Tallahassee, Fla. – Governor Rick Scott today made the following statement regarding the 500th anniversary of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León's arrival on the land he named "La Florida" in 1513.
Governor Scott said, "This week marks an historic anniversary for Florida and the entire United States of America. Ponce de León, during the week of April 2, 1513, became the first documented European to arrive anywhere in the current United States of America.
"This special anniversary is an opportunity to share Florida's unique story and reflect on the people, places and events that made Florida the dynamic state it is today.
"In addition to our work in creating a more business friendly climate, Florida's rich history and culture have supported tourism, which is among the many reasons that we've created nearly 300,000 private-sector jobs and our unemployment rate has dropped to 7.7 percent. The policies we are implementing are working and we encourage more people to come to Florida to contribute to the overall economic vitality of our state.
"Florida's history is unlike anywhere else in the world, and I hope Floridians will go to VivaFlorida.org to learn how to be a part of the Viva Florida 500 celebrates and commemorate our long and storied history."

A Brief Biography
Founder/Head RAZZberry, The Golden Raspberry (RAZZIE®) Awards LLC
As a lifelong inhabitant of Planet Hollywood, John Wilson has seen more than 5,000 movies, many of them in his role as the founder of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation and creator of the internationally known RAZZIE® Awards, which have dis-honored Worst Achievements in Film since 1980.
He was saluted by E!TV as "the foremost authority on all things that suck on the big screen." As the writer/director and publicist for 35 years of annual RAZZIE ceremonies, Wilson has honed the Awards public profile and sense of humor by writing the shows scripts and press releases, administering the Foundations website (amassing millions of hits a year) and by being the public face of the RAZZIES through radio TV, and print interviews with media from around the world. He was also a featured commentator in the TV Guide Network special "Count 'Em Down: Hollywood's 25 Biggest Flops."
A graduate of UCLA's prestigious motion picture/TV studies program, Wilson has spent decades as a writer/producer/director, publicist and creative consultant for many entertainment industry clients, including Disney, Fox, PBS and the Academy Awards. Wilsons first book, a compilation of film-still-illustrated cinematic cliché's entitled Everything I Know I Learned at the Movies was published in 1995. His second book, The Official RAZZIE Movie Guide, which lists his choices as the 100 funniest bad movies ever made, appeared on the Los Angeles Times Best Seller List.

Penthouse IPO Is Another Naked Gamble
FriendFinder Network, formerly known as Penthouse, needs money fast. The weight of hundreds of millions of dollars of debt has prompted it to turn to public capital markets. It%u2019s a desperate move -- in fact, the same move the company made a year ago under the same circumstances.

Morgan Freeman
Birth Name: Morgan Freeman
Born: 06/01/1937
Birth Place: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Born: 06/01/1937
Birth Place: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Born on June 1, 1937 in Memphis, TN, Freeman moved around with his family, making stops in Charleston, MS and Chicago, IL before finally settling in Greenwood, MS. Years spent watching countless movies - especially ones with horses and someone carrying a gun - prompted Freeman to want to be an actor. Encouraged by teachers at Greenwood High School from which he graduated in 1955, Freeman pursued acting only after attempting to become a fighter pilot in the Air Force. But since it was the mid-1950s, he encountered a military unwilling to allow blacks to fly. The only job available to him was radar mechanic. Though racism certainly discouraged Freeman from his dream, his realization that fl... Continue Bio >>

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture brings together some 180 different watchmaking specialities necessary for the complete design and manufacture of watches: from the most recent technologies to the oldest and rarest crafts. The enamel miniature painting studio is home to skills that have all but vanished. It adjoins the engraving studio, where artisans delicately hollow out the metal to embellish the most prestigious watches and movements. In the purest Art Nouveau style, this pendant watch being auctioned by Artcurial has a polychrome engraved, chased and enamelled 18-carat yellow-gold case. The grand feu enamel dial is marked with metallic markers integrated into the enamel and painted Arabic numerals. With its cylinder escapement, the LeCoultre 9HN calibre barely reaches 2 cm in diameter. Its half-hidden "LeCoultre" winding system was protected by a patent filed in 1894.

Personally I've always wished AGI was like HP, MHP, ATK, and DEF, that is to say a 2 digit number. In that way, with speed values ranging from 1-99, the odds of multiple units having the same AGI on any given turn would be alot smaller and alot of the bad luck frustrations from having your same AGI units all get "outspeeded" by luck would be removed from the game. Similarly I always thought it would be better if the defender got to choose the target off attacks unless the attack has pinpoint, flying attack, or any other ability that specifically allows him to choose your target. It would make defensive units more useful and again, take out some bad luck frustrations.
That said, for what the game is, a game that does involve a ton of luck that needs to be determined by an impartial third party, and a ton of additional stats (time of day, current LP count, current LP of specific soul cards, current HP of every unit in play, etc) being a computer game is definitely ideal. It could be played as a normal card game, but it'd be really slow and require ALOT of dice, hp counters, and all sorts of other things to play correctly that would just suck too much of the fun out of the game. The game was definitely designed with being a computer based card game in mind, but the beauty of that is that because it takes advantage of the services a computer game master provides, you get a pretty unique and deep experience you can't find in most real card games.

At least 860 school children who passed their National Standard Seven examinations last year and were selected to join various secondary schools in Bunda District, Mara Region, cannot read and write, District Education Officer Rabani Bituro has said.
Secondary school teachers said in separate interviews that the situation was an unbearable burden because they didn't know how they would help the students to follow their studies.
The teachers, who preferred anonymity to protect their jobs, wondered how such students, illiterate as they were, managed to pass their examinations and were selected to join various secondary schools.
Bunda DEO Rabani Bituro admitted that there were such students in secondary schools, saying the number could be as high as 860.
"We're still collecting figures to establish how many do not really know how to read and write. The problem starts from family level. Parents do not supervise their children to follow their studies seriously. Most of them spend a lot of time at fish markets doing business to earn money," said Bituro in a telephone interview.
He explained that other factors contributing to the problem included poor infrastructure, absenteeism, lack of teachers and lack of textbooks.

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - A Walnut Park man accused of murder after fleeing from police in Hazelwood earlier this year had his bond raised from less than $100,000.00 to a quarter million dollars by a St. Louis County judge.
21 year old Reno Whitt Junior is charged with second degree murder in the death of Ricky Nelson, a passenger in the stolen car Whitt was driving last August 14, when he lost control on North Lindbergh near McDonnell Boulevard and slammed into a utility pole.
Police were chasing the stolen car after responding to a call at a nearby apartment complex where vehicles were being tampered with.
Whitt and two other people in the fleeing car were seriously hurt in the crash.
Along with the murder charge, Whitt is also accused of resisting arrest, assault, and multiple counts of vehicle tampering.
Prosecutors originally had Whitt held on a $96,000.00 bail but filed motions to increase the bond to $250,000.00. The motion was granted Friday.
Court records show Whitt was convicted of car theft in May 2012 and was on probation at the time of the fatal pursuit crash in Hazelwood.

Project Description
The Small Scale Indian Wind Projects consist of six turbines, each with a capacity between 225 kilowatts and 750 kilowatts, which collectively produce about 5,800 megawatts of electricity each year. In addition to providing renewable electricity, Carbonfund.org supports the Small Scale Indian Wind Projects because they support local communities and are a leading example of how wind energy can significantly contribute to India's increasing energy demands. Furthermore, these projects allow for the development of local infrastructure and promotes the decentralization of India's renewable energy solutions.

- Title
- Objections to pacific seasonal work programs in rural Australia
- Author(s)
- Mares, Peter
- Abstract
- Australia is debating whether Pacific Islanders should be granted temporary visas to undertake seasonal work in agriculture. The proposal has support from Australian farmers' organisations, international development agencies and politicians on both sides of Parliament. Pacific Island governments are enthusiastic about the idea and have repeatedly raised it at regional meetings. However, Commonwealth government ministers have ruled out changes to current migration arrangements to allow the entry of unskilled workers on short term visas. The grounds given for opposing such schemes are numerous. This article identifies ten primary objections to a seasonal labour program for Pacific Islanders. It addresses each objection on its merits, in an attempt to disentangle legitimate questions of policy from unfounded perceptions and fears that often have deep historical roots.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai (飛雷神クナイ, Hiraishin Kunai) are custom-made kunai (特注クナイ, tokuchū kunai) utilised by Minato Namikaze in conjunction with his Space–Time Ninjutsu: the Flying Thunder God Technique. They differ from a standard kunai in that they have three blades instead of one and on the handle (which is thicker than normal) is the "marker" for Minato's teleportation ability; Minato also said that these blades are bit heavier than a normal kunai.[1] The prongs on them also makes it more deadly in melee fighting.
Minato gave one of these kunai to his pupil Kakashi Hatake, as a celebratory gift for his promotion to jōnin as well as to be able to teleport to his team at any time the kunai was thrown.[1][2] During the Third Shinobi World War, in the battle between Konohagakure and Iwagakure, the ninja from the former threw these kunai behind enemy lines which allowed Minato to instantly teleport to the various locations and slay the opposing shinobi, while at the same time making it difficult for the enemy to predict where he would teleport to next.[3] He also kept several of these blades at his safe house, so he could teleport there quickly when necessary.[4]
Utilised Techniques
- Flying Thunder God Technique
- Space–Time Barrier
- Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Participate Formula
- It is implied that touching the kunai activates a Space–Time Ninjutsu, like Minato did to the Nine-Tails' attack with a Space–Time Barrier after using hand-signs.
- Although unnamed in the manga, they were named by Minato in Naruto Shippūden 4: The Lost Tower.

Cerveza, Senor! This bottle of beer with a lime has CERVEZA! permanently on it which in Spanish means beer. A popular beer during happy hour in Mexico is a Corona with a lime in which a wedge is pushed through the opening of the bottle and then tipped over with your thumb over the open mouth to prevent beer from spilling out, to distribute the acidic lime flavor throughout the beer. A refreshing way to cool off under the hot Mexican sun in Cancun! This personalized beer bottle ornament is a great memento for anyone who vacationed to Mexico for spring break or for a relaxing beach vacation.

May 5, 2016
The shooting in Connecticut has the issue of gun control back in the forefront and it has meant an increase in gun sales over the weekend across the country and here in the east.
The owner of Colts Guns and Pawn has been in the business for a long time and says sales this past Saturday at his Winterville store broke a record from 1960.
Manager Josh Richardson said they sold four-times the amount of guns they would on a normal day -- which came out to around $30,000 worth. He says that the marked increase in business is due at least in part to fear of a possible assault weapons ban or some other increase in gun control. Richardson says, "They're talking about re-instituting the assault weapon ban. Don't know if that'll happen or not but it's scaring a lot of people so they're buying stuff up as fast as they can."
Meanwhile, there are those like Mary Lee who feel that some kind of change is needed. "I understand why people want to have guns in their home because of the crime rate but they're too accessible, children can take guns to school -- how did your child get a gun?"
Politicians in a few states are calling for a federal ban on assault rifles and extended clip magazines.

"He built a small house, called a (chrysalis) around himself" - in space? The Monarchs in the Children's Room are no longer in the caterpillar stage. Each has now gone through a final molt and is now a chrysalis. One should emerge as a butterfly next week and the other a few days later. Did you know that butterflies can go through their life cycle in a nearly weightless environment? I didn't know until a patron told me about an experiment in which Painted Lady caterpillars were brought to the International Space Station and successfully went through metamorphosis. The experiment has been repeated with Monarch butterflies in space. I'm always amazed by what I learn when I visit the library. If you're curious about emerging butterflies, emerging space technology, or anything else for that matter, come visit.
The YouTube video below is pretty amazing. You can see what it looks like when a Monarch caterpillar changes from caterpillar to chrysalis - right here on Earth.

You Can Never Taillow is the 4th episode of the Advanced Generation series. It is the 280th episode of the Pokémon anime.
Ash, May and May's little brother Max are now en route to Rustboro City—and they're hungry! No one remembered to pack lunch. As they fight over one remaining cookie, Ash remembers how nice it was to have Brock cooking for him and Misty. He's quickly brought back to reality when a Taillow takes off with the cookie. The gang follows Taillow to a grove filled with apple trees. Ash and May eagerly shake the trees, hoping to make the apples drop to the ground. Instead of apples, Ash and May shake loose an angry flock of territorial Taillow. There's too many for Ash, Max, and May to handle alone. Out of nowhere, Brock appears and saves the day with his Forretress—and his incredible soup! They manage to defeat and feed all of the Taillow except the one who took the cookie. Taillow are naturally resilient, but this particular one is especially tough. Ash can't seem to defeat it, so instead he decides to catch it. Team Rocket bribes the Taillow with rice balls to capture Pikachu. After their plans fails because Brock fed the Taillow who lost interest in fighting, Team Rocket is still intending to capture Pikachu as he may be weak from hunger. Unfortunately for them, Pikachu ate Brock's Pokemon food already and Team Rocket is soon blasted off. With Brock and Taillow on tow, Ash and friends continue on to Rustboro City.

Saturday night's all right for fighting
Mixed Martial Arts in Placer County may have found a home.
Owner Tedd Williams and his Gladiator Challenge organization teamed up with Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Saturday night for its first fight card — "Unleashed'' — at the new concert and entertainment pavilion.
If Gladiator Challenge and Thunder Valley were looking to make a statement by bringing MMA to the casino, they couldn't have asked for a more explosive card full of great matchups and exciting finishes.
The undercard featured fighters from Roseville, Orangevale, Yuba City and as far away as Honolulu. These fighters are either breaking into the sport or have established themselves and are looking for that big win that can catapult them to a larger organization like the UFC or Strikeforce.
With the explosion of MMA in Placer County and nationwide, the number of gyms popping up in and around neighboring communities has skyrocketed. The famed Team Alpha Male, led by UFC featherweight superstar and Lincoln High School alum Urijah Faber, saw all three of its fighters notch victories.
As the sun went down, the action heated up as a sellout crowd estimated at 3,000 was treated to a card full of fast-paced action with knockouts and submissions.
Only one of 18 fights on the card went to a judges' decision, as Team Alpha Male heavyweight Freddie Aquintania of Fairfield defeated independent fighter Ivan Pack of Olivehurst. Team Alpha Male 145-pounders T.J. Kuahine, now living in Roseville, and Mario Soto of Davis also won their matches.
NorCal MMA fighter Kyle Davey of Roseville lost to Rick Reger on a TKO 48 seconds into the second round. Clinton Fouse, a bantamweight and 2011 Colusa High grad, defeated Ray Heredia by TKO at 2:21 of the third round.
Native light-heavyweight champion Mike Gonzalez of Rancho Cordova, representing Carnage Fight Team, used his quick hands, long reach and powerful punching to TKO challenger William "Little Bear" Johnson at 2:32 of the first round.
Vacaville native and Gladiator Challenge heavyweight champion Rob Jackson used several punch-kick combinations to set up his overhand right, as he dispatched Team Boyaa member and Honolulu native Deutsch PU'U by TKO at 3:12 of the first round.
Gladiator Challenge super-heavyweight champion, fan favorite and all-around mountain of a man Rick Vardell defended his title and barely broke a sweat as he KO'd Dave Hagon of Team Allegiance just 17 seconds into the first round.
Vardell apologized for the quick knockout and stated his appreciation for everyone that supports the fighters and MMA.
"I want to thank you all for showing up," he said. "You fans are the motivation behind not only the training but the reason we fight."
At events like Gladiator Challenge, fans can cheer for their favorite fighters and rub elbows and talk with them afterward.
The main event saw reigning middleweight (185 pounds) champion James Fanshier lose his title to Chris Sheridan of AMAC Fight Club.
The fight had fans on the edge of their seats, as the champion tried to weather a storm. Sheridan was too big, fast and had youth on his side as he pounded away at Fanshier.
"The Educator," as Fanshier is known, gave it every ounce of fight he had, even while looking to be out on his feet and on wobbly legs. The end came at 4:29 of the first round, as a straight right hand from Sheridan landed perfectly and dropped Fanshier. Sheridan pounced with hammer fists, and the referee stepped in and stopped the bout.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Everyone can damage Madara if he lets them. But seriously, Hashirama. He's already ****ed him inside out once, why not again?
Everyone can damage
But only a few can actually hit
only hashirama, obito, bm naruto and bee.....comeon whe the guy was serious the 5 kages could not keep up the slaughtered them like they were genin
Oro will own him !.. by binding\scroll
There r a lot that cn damage Madara like Naruto, Sasuke, Nagato etc if u mean landing physical attacks. Bt very few xcpt Hashi cn defeat nonedo Madara like Obito nd Itachi(he cn seal him with tutsuki, use amaterasu, tsukyomi nd block his attacks with Yata Mirror). Tsunade was also able to damage him.
Kakashi & Obito. Obito attacks head on with Ghost Mode keeping Madara busy as Kakashi sneaks a Raikiri.
Lol it doesn't matter at y'all put the OP is just gonna make up some shitty excuse like "genjutsu 1shot" or "perfect susanoo" so there's no use in trying to argue since he is obviously retarded lol. I think a team with itachi like naruto/nagato or sasuke/itachi could prove very difficult. Naruto could use his speed and raw strenght to distract him, nagato to counter RG techniques, and itachi for his sealing sword and yata mirror.
Nagato and his six paths.

No, Madara pwns those with PS
Genjutsu one shots.
No...Madara has long since surpassed him.
Dude all you are doing is drawing people in so you can troll them with your Madara fanboyism. Everyone of the character that are being listed stand a chance to damage Madara.
wait for another 30 chapters and you will see who all can **** him up...........until then keep sucking his nuts

Uchiha Shisui, One shot with KA. If you are acting like Fanboy i can be either ( " One Shot Genjitsu " ) lol
In theory shika Ino Cho could get him with a shadow possession + mind transfer combo, if he doesn't kill them first
Although Madara is stronger, Obito can defeat him with his S/T jutsu ( with what we have seen so far). A healthy Kabuto w/ edo tensei will make sure Madara is beat into oblivion, then sealed.
BM Naruto, with a sealing technique, and Nagato can both win against Madara but, of course, they wouldn't be favorites.
People who are not on his tier, but who can get lucky:
Minato (seals)
Itachi (totsuka sword)
Jiraiya ( frog song)
Orochimaro (due to his arrogance I put him here, but he will likely move up when we see new abilities).
Muu ( Invisibility and jinton)

y is it always people have to gang up on otheers why noa a 1v1 madara who can 1v1 him besides Hashi S06p and juubi ?
Most of the Akatsuki, if we're talking about non-edo Madara then Sasori could poison and kill him before he uses Susanoo.

Obito, with kamui.
Naruto, has plenty of ways
Kakash, with kamui.
Gai, 7 and 8 gate.
Hashirama for obvious reasons.
Sasuke, has enough potential with ems and his enton susanoo, to pull off damaging madara.
Orochimaru, that guy has like so many sick jutsus, he should be able to deal some kind of damage, especially with edo tensei.
Kabuto (still has edo tensei right?).
Especially combo's of these people(double team or more than 2 in a team) are able to pull it off.
Hashirama: he had experience with fighting madara and obviously knows some counters to his arsonal and fighting style.
nagato: no explanation
itachi: totsuka blade, intelligence,tactical,battle wits
minato: master sealer and ftg would help rescue itachi or nagato if there in a tight spot
last person would be obito: no explanation
this is my five man team

Organisational structure
According to their respective tasks, the religious, cultural, and social services of the IGMG are either offered by the central administration or by the regional or local communities. The smallest units of our religious community are the local mosques. It is them which provide the necessary infrastructure – such as praying rooms and imams – for the daily religious practises. Beyond that, the women's and youth departments also operate locally. They not only carry out activities for general purposes but primarily focus on the needs of each of their target groups.
The IGMG maintains local mosque communities in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, England, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
The local communities are structurally bound together under regional organisations, of which there are 30 altogether. 15 regional organisations are located in Germany. They are Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin, Hanover, Northern Ruhr Basin, Ruhr Basin A, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hesse, Rhine-Saar, Stuttgart, Swabia, Freiburg, Northern and Southern Bavaria. The regional organisations in other European countries are the following: 4 in France (Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, 10 Annecy), 2 in Austria (Austria-1 and Austria-2), the northern and southern parts of the Netherlands (2 each). In the remaining European countries (Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and England) the IGMG is represented by only one national organisation each.
On the one hand, the regional organisations constitute a linkage between the IGMG centre and the associated local communities. On the other hand, they coordinate the work of the local communities. They are above all responsible for the coordination of religious and educational services and for the arrangement of cultural events. The cooperation between the associated local communities as well as their mutual exchange of experiences are among the tasks that our regional organisations undertake as well. Furthermore, they are in charge of coordinating the imams in the communities.
The central administration in Germany is responsible for the coordination of all religious, educational, and social services within the community. It develops and provides the organisation's general strategy regarding essential topics. Moreover the central administration organises – in cooperation with the regional and local communities – religious and social services which can not be accomplished locally or regionally, such as the hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), the Udhiyyah campaign (sacrifice), prayer calendars, or the solidarity fond of the burial services. The centre is also in charge of the assignment
and further training of the imams.
On the local level the IGMG incorporates 514 mosque communities, 323 of which are in Germany. Besides there is the altering quantity of women's, youth, sports and educational facilities. The IGMG maintains a total number of 1833 local facilities and for the time being has got around 87,000 members. Friday prayers are regularly attended by approximately 300,000 persons.

Michael Winter, USA TODAY
Arkansas has the nation's most restrictive abortion ban after the Republican-dominated state House voted Wednesday to override the governor's veto.
The measure, S.B. 134, bans most abortions after 12 weeks if a fetal heartbeat is detected, but it includes exemptions for rape, incest, the mother's life and disorders that would cause the baby to die soon after birth.
The law, titled "The Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act," takes effect this summer.
The Republican-controlled Senate on Tuesday overrode Monday's veto by Gov. Mike Beebee, a Democrat.
"The eyes of this nation [have] been on the Arkansas House of Representatives today. And the eyes of this nation [have] seen that people are ready for change," said the measure's GOP sponsor, Sen. Jason Rapert, the Arkansas Democrat reported. "Again, if there's a heartbeat, there's life and we're going to stand up for this law, regardless of who opposes it."
Last week, the Legislature overrode another abortion-ban veto by Beebee. That bill, H.B. 1037, bans most abortions after 20 weeks, with the same exceptions, and became law with the Feb. 26 override.
Beebe said he vetoed both measures because he believes they are unconstitutional and will result in expensive legal challenges.
Of the 4,033 abortions in the state in 2011, 20% occurred at or after 12 weeks, according to the Arkansas Department of Health.
Abortion-rights group believe both measures are unconstitutional because of U.S. Supreme Court rulings and plan to sue.
"Lawmakers in Arkansas are placing women's lives on the line by passing the most severe ban on access to safe, legal medical care this country has seen in recent years," Talcott Camp, deputy director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said last week after the Senate overrode Beebee's veto. "Nobody can predict what kinds of decisions a woman may have to make during a pregnancy, and it is outrageous for politicians to attempt to interfere in this serious and personal decision that a woman has to make with her family and her doctor."

Freeze has a chance to do nothing at all. Darkness has a 50% chance to block with its shield. Time has that "skip their next turn" ability shield.
All those seem fine since they are much easier to deal with.
I have to say that unlike alteil you can actually GET EVERY CARD there, but because the game is lacking overall i think i gonna drop it. >_>

Medicago sativa. Family: Fabaceae
hay, lucerne, purple medic
Alfalfa is a perennial grown worldwide as a feedstock for cattle. Its appearance is cloverlike, but it grows to a height of 2 to 3 feet. It blooms in the summer with purple or blue flowers. At harvest time alfalfa is mowed, field dried, and baled. The baled hay can be fed directly to cattle or ground to a coarse powder first. It can also be enriched with grain or other supplements.
Alfalfa seeds are sprouted and used as garnish for salads and other foods. Alfalfa leaves contain triterpenoid saponins (soyasapogenols) that have been shown to reduce cholesterol absorption and vascular plaque formation in animals but can also cause hemolytic anemia. The leaves are safer to use than the seeds because alfalfa seeds contain the toxic amino acid L-canavanine (arginine analog).
Although alfalfa has a long history as a medicinal herb, no well-established benefits supported by hard scientific or unbiased evidence are associated with its use. However, well-documented information demonstrates that L-canavanine, a non-protein amino acid present in alfalfa (particularly in the seeds and sprouts), can cause lupus or worsen the course of already-established lupus. Lupus, or systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), is an autoimmune disease that affects connective tissue (found in every organ of the body).
Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Alfalfa is claimed to have positive effects on allergies, malfunctions of the thyroid gland, blood and liver toxicity, asthma, and pituitary functions. It is also claimed to reduce heart attack risks and help with an inflamed prostate, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach disorders, and diabetes. Finally, alfalfa has also been reported to work as a diuretic.
Follow packaging instructions for correct dose.
Alfalfa is generally safe when taken by healthy individuals. It can, however, cause or worsen the course of lupus. If you have lupus, do not use alfalfa. Alfalfa seems to increase certain immune system functions and may make diseases associated with an overactive immune system, such as rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, worse.
On occasion, alfalfa sprouts have been contaminated with Salmonella and E. coli and have been responsible for outbreaks of diarrheal disease and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a disease associated with E. coli. Improved processing has largely removed these risks. However, alfalfa sprouts should be eaten shortly after purchase and should not be stored for prolonged periods.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking any herbal medicines.
There are no known significant food or drug interactions associated with alfalfa.
