The AD9957 functions as a universal I/Q modulator and agile upconverter for communications systems where cost, size, power consumption, and dynamic performance are critical. The AD9957 integrates a high speed, direct digital synthesizer (DDS), a high performance, high speed, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), clock multiplier circuitry, digital filters, and other DSP functions onto a single chip. It provides baseband upconversion for data transmission in a wired or wireless communications system.
The AD9957 is the third offering in a family of quadrature digital upconverters (QDUCs) that includes the AD9857 and AD9856. It offers performance gains in operating speed, power consumption, and spectral performance. Unlike its predecessors, it supports a 16-bit serial input mode for I/Q baseband data. The device can alternatively be programmed to operate either as a single tone, sinusoidal source or as an interpolating DAC.
The reference clock input circuitry includes a crystal oscillator, a high speed, divide-by-two input, and a low noise PLL for multiplication of the reference clock frequency.
The user interface to the control functions includes a serial port easily configured to interface to the SPORT of the Blackfin® DSP and profile pins to enable fast and easy shift keying of any signal parameter (phase, frequency, or amplitude).

Several families are being assisted after a fire Thursday afternoon in the city of Buffalo. The fire broke out around 4:30 p.m. on Reservation Street. YNN's Katie Cummings reports that witnesses said they saw a woman with two babies being rescued from a second floor window.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — "She was banging on the window and I was telling her, open it, open it," said Donna O'Neil, a neighbor.
Neighbors gathered outside 78 Reservation Street on Thursday afternoon after noticing a fire at the house. They noticed a woman from the second floor crying out for help.
"It was one of the most frightening sights I've seen. I mean, I have my handyman working across the street, they ran there tried to climb up to the porch before the fire department came there. It's slippery, it's snowy and they couldn't get them. I mean, our hearts were in our throats every second over there until they got the kids out," said Ben Okonov, a witness.
"We started screaming upstairs and there was a lady and two babies up there," said O'Neil.
Fire officials said they are still investigating but say it appears residents were attempting to thaw the pipes. The fire department said crews have responded to several similar incidents since temperatures have dropped.
"They try to thaw them out with propane heaters or something like that and obviously, it's in a crawl space or places that are hard to get to, so they start them on fire and don't realize it," said Don McFeely, Buffalo Fire Department Division Chief.
Fire officials say the fire started in the basement and spread quickly to the attic, causing about $100,000 in damage.
While the eight people living inside the home may have lost prized possessions, the husband of the rescued woman, Myomin Tun, says his were saved.
"The most important things are my sons and my wife. They already came up from the firefighter help. They get help and they already came up from the house and I'm really happy for that. They are my life," said Tun.
All of the occupants managed to get out safely. They are all being assisted by the Red Cross.
One firefighter was injured after falling down a flight of stairs and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Palm Springs, California, has always been a popular vacation spot for Hollywood celebrities, so it is fitting that the popular desert city is the site of many film-related events.
In January, the Palm Springs International Film Society will hold its International Film Festival. However, those who would prefer to attend an event a little sooner can book Palm Springs timeshare rentals this June so they can catch the flicks being screened at the 18th Annual International ShortFest.
Between June 19 and 25, the Palm Springs International Film Society will bring some of the best short films in the world to California. Each year, this event features roughly 200 movies from filmmakers living in more than 60 countries.
The festival is still taking submissions, so a final list of movies has yet to be published. However, anyone interested in attending the screenings should know that the event is always on the film industry's radar. In fact, winners of ShortFest's various prizes become eligible for Oscar consideration.
If the 2012 festival is anything like last year's event, than attendees can expect blocks of short films that last around 80-90 minutes and focus on specific genres. For instance, the 17th annual show kicked off with Make 'Em Laugh, 81 minutes of comedic shorts.
Other blocks of film included Parlez Vous Palm Springs? Best of the French Language Shorts, Art Attack!, which featured movies about artists, and Fantastic Animation.
During the festival, cinephiles will also have a chance to attend question and answer sessions with many of the filmmakers behind their favorite shorts. Each year, the event hosts a series of panels on different aspects of the film business as well.
If travelers cannot make it to ShortFest this June, they can still catch a flick in Palm Springs any time of year as long as they are staying in the area. For current movies, visitors can head to Regal Palm Springs Stadium 9. Meanwhile, those who seek independent or international features may want to swing by Camelot Theatres and see what is playing.
For a unique experience, travelers can visit Cinema Fondue, where they will find vintage movies, fondue and a full bar, in addition to the traditional popcorn and soda.
Even if visitors to Palm Springs never spot a celebrity on the streets, they know that they can at least see plenty of stars up on the silver screen.

Question by Jay: Scorpio and Aquarius–Friendship, Relationship and Sex?
What is the outlook of an Aquarius and Scorpio as friends and lovers?
Best answer:
Answer by Nicolasaurus Is I
aquarius and scorpio relationship(friend or non)
A Scorpio individual is not at all like an Aquarian. Both of them have very different personality traits and tend to have very dissimilar views as far as love relationships are concerned. The Scorpion is very intense, very emotional and very passionate in case of his loved ones. An Aquarian, on the other hand, is much more balanced and practical. The former gives much more importance to intuition, gut feeling and instinct than the latter, who believes in 'what is'. Infact, the Water Bearer seems to be quite cool and aloof in comparison.
He has lots of friends and lots of acquaintances, but none of them is very close to him. He believes in quantity rather than quality, which is totally opposite to the nature of the Scorpion. He needs only a close circle of friends, who are as loyal to him as he is to them. Thus, the biggest compatibility problem in this zodiac match will be in the emotional area, where one exceeds and the other recedes. And this gap will not be very easy to fill. Both of them are also quite stubborn and opinionated, which makes the matters all the more difficult.
You'll need to appreciate and really understand the differences in your temperaments to harmonize in a long-term relationship.
Scorpio Man and Aquarius Woman
Apart from a short-term fling, the love match of a Scorpio man and an Aquarius woman does not have good chances of compatibility. Though the chemistry is great, one can never be too sure about the other key areas of their relationship. They have too many differences to gain something meaningful from their union. His possessiveness and too-much closeness will annoy her and her extremely outgoing nature will make him jealous and insecure. His bossism and inflexiniltiy further adds to the negativity.
Scorpio Woman and Aquarius Man
The union of a Scorpio woman and an Aquarius man may not lead to much happiness. The main reason for this comprise of the key differences in their personalities. The combination is not too great and the chances of compatibility dismal. They will need to make deliberate efforts to understand each other in order to make this relationship work. However, both of them can have intelligent conversations and will never get bored in this respect. His sarcasm will infuriate her and her constant need for security will baffle him.
What do you think? Answer below!
Question by I say…: Calling Capricorn (males)! What qualities are your attractive/drawn to for your 'ideal partner'?
What do you look for, what kind of girl do you like? :]
Best answer:
Answer by BraveryDragonofASIA
Taurus, Scorpio, Virgo, and Pisces.
Taurus: You like her ambition and how calm she is. You both look at life very similarly. Capricorn and Taurus will make a great relationship through communication and trust.
Scorpio: You both share the same traits of being obstinate, vindictive and suspicious. Scorpio women are very emotional (depends on how you look at her emotional side.). You can both support each other well, respecting each other.
Virgo: You both rely on one another. Virgo has faith in what Capricorns goals in life are. Yet, you both forget to cherish the lovable moments with one another. You must both be able to communicate with one another. Virgo will feel secure with you and love that about you, where as you will love her for being materialistic. You both will make one another glow.
Pisces: You both like to live in sort of a fantasy world. You both will stay together through love and compassion. Pisces will always stand by your side and never try to be possessive towards you.
Capricorn normally love woman who can be their trophies. They love materialistic woman because Capricorns have high thoughts on how they look. Capricorns are the type of people that will achieve anything for their status to be on top above all others. They can be pretty conceited at times. Your appearance comes first, so you'd like to have a woman who is materialistic, fancy, smart, beautiful and etc.

UTICA, N.Y. -- This week, the Senate passed a postal reform bill that, if it becomes law, would keep a processing center open in Utica.
Back in November, the Postal Service said it plans to close the Pitcher Street Processing Center sometime this spring as part of a nationwide cost-saving plan.
The Postal Service said closing the facility and moving its workload to Syracuse, would save an estimated $2 million a year. But the 21st Century Postal Service Act, which passed in the Senate Wednesday, would prevent the Postal Service from closing or merging any processing facility which was found to be efficient in a previous consolidation study. That includes the Pitcher Street center.
Senator Charles Schumer says if the bill becomes law, it would prevent the loss of nearly 200 mail service jobs in Central New York.

Christian blog online
I just wanted to write a short post to let you know that I found this new Christian blog online called Pilgrim in Boston. It is written by a man named Daniel who moved from Louisiana to Boston. He shares his life and has many devotional post that convict, uplift and inspire. I actually bookmarked the site and would recommend you do the same. He post on this site on a regular basis so keep checking to see if the latest post shows up. Another thing that I like is that he doesn't talk about politics that can get very boring after a while.
His Influences
On the blog he sites as his influences David Pawson, Art Katz, Voice of Revolution with Dr. Michael Brown and he has a link to Sermon Index. You will find topics such as meditating on the word, spiritual discernment and he even has short exposes on modern day witch craft and Satanism. Lots of interesting stuff, go check it out.

Caesarstone Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Results
Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. (CSTE), a manufacturer of high quality engineered quartz surfaces, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased by 13.6% to $76.2 million compared to $67.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Growth in revenues was driven by continued increases in sales in the United States and Canada, up 19.7% and 29.3% respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year, and by 16.6% growth in Australia. Revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in Europe and by a flat performance in Israel. On a constant currency basis, fourth quarter revenue growth was 12.9% compared to the same period last year.
Yosef Shiran, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have finished the year with a strong fourth quarter. Our teams in each region executed well and we continue to position the business advantageously around the world. We believe we have the right global strategy in place to sustain our growth, build our operational capabilities, enhance our brand and drive value to consumers, customers and shareholders."
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 41.8% compared to 39.0% in the same period in the prior year. The Company noted that last year's fourth quarter included a $1.8 million non-recurring write-off of inventory held by a third-party. The Company also noted that while changes in foreign exchange rates impacted revenue negatively, they also reduced cost of goods sold, offsetting some impact on gross profit.Operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $19.7 million, or 25.8% of revenues. This compares to the prior year's fourth quarter level of $20.0 million, or 29.8% of revenues. The year-ago quarter contained a $1.1 million write-down for a loan to the above-mentioned third party. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 20.4% compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily to facilitate growth in the United States and Canada.

Composed in 1986, Dance Fantasy
had its first perfromance in May, 1987, by the Houston (TX)
Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Sergiu Comissiona.
Perle says of Dance Fantasy in
a 1989 interview for its Carnegie Hall premiere performance, "The work was conceived as a statement of homage to
the art of ballet. My discovery of ballet, just over 50
years ago at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago during the
annual tour of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo,
suddenly added a new dimension to the way I heard and responded
to music, a dimension that I believe has affected the character
of my work as a composer ever since. Dance Fantasy
is music for an imaginary plotless ballet, and it pays its
respects, with a quotation of four bars from the second
movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite,
to a composer whose whole career, from its very inception,
was intimately and crucially involved with the ballet. These
four bars, which appear just before the final cadential
passage, are more than a quote, however, since they play
a structural role in the moto perpetuo which forms
the concluding episode, and were chosen precisely because
of their suitability for this role."
score and parts are available on rental from the publisher.
(Pub 2001)..................................................Galaxy
First performance March 2, 2002, Rockford, IL: Guttiérrez
Completed in 1999 and dedicated to Horacio Guttiérrez,
Perle's piano music has been described as "witty, elegant
and eminently lucid..." and as offering the rare "combination
of high engineering and a taste for the exquisite."

Sunil Gavaskar feels Rahul Dravid has not got his dues as skipper even as MS Dhoni continued to command headline spaces after overtaking Sourav Ganguly as India's most successful captain in Tests. Dravid, Gavaskar pointed out, won India more Tests abroad, in difficult conditions and tougher opponents. However, the former India opener and captain did praise Dhoni's efforts, when he notched up his 22nd win as captain and bettered Ganguly's record of 21. "The debate about the best Test captain will always continue. (But) People do not speak about Rahul Dravid. Dravid's overseas record (as skipper) was outstanding. He has been the captain to win in West Indies after 30-odd years and similarly in England after 20-something years. But nobody talks about Rahul Dravid as a captain," he said. Dravid led India to 25 Tests and won eight between 2004 and 2007. However, the highlights were Indian victories in West Indies and England besides winning one out of the two Tests in Australia. On the other hand, Dhoni, has won only five and lost nine when touring abroad. Even Ganguly had a better overseas record with 11 wins and 10 losses from 28 Tests. However, Gavaskar believes Dhoni still has a lot to offer to Indian cricket and stressed the skipper should be given a long rope and be allowed to continue to captain India till 2019. "Dhoni as a skipper has changed since the England series. He is now more pro-active rather than reactive," Gavaskar said. Indian duo climb up rankings R Ashwin jumped up three places to number eight in the bowlers' rankings while Cheteshwar Pujara found himself at number 11 in the batting charts of the ICC Test Player Rankings released on Tuesday While Ashwin took six wickets, Pujara scored 204 in India's crushing innings and 135 run victory against Australia in Hyderabad. Both have now reached their career best rankings in Test cricket. South Africans Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn continued to hold on to their top spots in the batting and bowling charts respectively.

Ancient Egypt: Death and the Afterlife
What would you take with you? Afterlife Treasures
The Ancient Egyptians believed that the afterlife would be perfect. They wanted to take treasures from their life with them, and small amulets (like lucky charms) which would protect them in the afterlife.
Treasure and Jewellery
Important things from life would be put in the tomb and on the mummy.
The Ancient Egyptians had lots of different types of jewellery which looked beautiful and decorative, but also had symbols which would bring the wearer good fortune like lucky charm bracelets.
Jewellery materials were chosen for a reason. Gold was the divine metal, flesh of the god Ra.
Lapis lazuli (blue colour) imitated the appearance of the heavens and was superior to all other metals except for gold and silver. Turquoise was associated with vegetation, symbolising youth and rebirth.
Amulets were wrapped in the layers of bandages. They were like lucky charms which would protect the deceased in the afterlife. Scarab beetle amulets were very special as they were a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. They were usually placed over the heart to protect the heart during the weighing of the heart ceremony, where the god Anubis checks whether the individual led a good and moral life.
Other popular amulets included the wedjat, or the Eye of Horus, which protected the mummy against bad spirits.
Shabti were small statues of slaves or soldiers who would protect the mummy in the afterlife. Often they were turquoise in colour.

A Brief Information about Infineon Raceway
Infineon Raceway, formerly Sears Point Raceway, is a road course and drag strip in the hills of northern California, near Sonoma, north of San Francisco. The course is a complex series of twists and turns that go up and down the hills. It is host to one of the only two NASCAR races each year run on a non-oval track. The Infineon Raceway iis also host to several other auto races and motorcycle races such as the American Federation of Motorcyclists series.
In 1968, the Infineon Raceway, a 2.52-mile road-racing course, was constructed on 720 acres by Marin County owners Robert Marshall Jr., an attorney from Point Reyes, and land developer Jim Coleman of Kentfield. The two conceived the idea of a racetrack while on a hunting trip. Ground was broken in August and paving of the race surface was completed in November. The first official event at Infineon Raceway was an SCCA Enduro, held on Dec. 1, 1968.
The standard road course at Infineon Raceway is a 12-turn course; however, the track was modified in 1998, adding the Chute, which bypasses turns 5 and 6, shortening course to 1.95 miles. The Chute is only used for NASCAR events such as the Dodge Save Mart 350; the American Le Mans Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma uses the full course, while American Motorcyclist Association events began using a modified 2.22-mile, 12-turn course in 2003. The raceway also has a quarter mile drag strip used for NHRA drag racing events.

From the beginning, competitors in organized sports have cooperated with one another to ensure order and provide a marketable product. A natural outgrowth of associations between individual franchises, leagues have enhanced the viability and stability of their professional sports by providing structure and ensuring an even field for competition.
Setting Rules and Schedules
The early years of British soccer and American college football were often played under "house rules" determined by the host team, which sometimes led to chaotic disputes and violent outcomes. Concerned by some of the extreme events, college presidents unified the rules of college football and instituted a number of measures to ensure the safety of players. The colleges hired impartial third-party referees to allow each team to participate under conditions of fair play.
As professional sports developed, league organizations established common rules of play so that fans could understand the game and teams could prepare for the next game without worrying that the rules would be tailored to help the home team.
A second reason for sport leagues to organize is the need to arrange a schedule among participating teams. Unlike other fields of commerce, each sport team needs to meet its rivals, so some coordinating authority must arrange a schedule of games. Moreover, fans find interest in the determination of the best team in that sport through a league table or league championship. For such a champion to be determined in a fair way, each participating team should play the other teams in their league in an equal or near equal number of circumstances.
Competitive Balance
Sport fans draw interest from seeing sporting events in which the outcome is uncertain and the strength of each team is more or less balanced. In practice, the intervention required for a league to ensure that the teams within the league have a competitive balance is extensive. For most of the 20th century, however, sport leagues did not make a great effort to ensure competitive balance. Dynasties thus emerged, such as the New York Yankees in baseball (winners of 6 American League titles between 1921 and 1928 and 8 World Series titles between 1947 and 1958) and the Boston Celtics in basketball (winners of 10 NBA championships between 1959 and 1969).
One can argue that competitive balance within a league is not necessary to draw fan interest to a sport, as evidenced by the attendance figures in baseball and basketball during the era of the Yankees' and Celtics' dominance. Dynasties create familiar players and story lines for fans to follow. More recently, the emergence of fantasy sport leagues has allowed fans to follow a game focused on the statistical performance of players whom they "own" rather than the outcome of the game itself.
Nevertheless, a number of innovations to improve league competitive balance have been created in recent decades. For example, consider the following:
- Order of the draft. One of the first innovations was the creation of the reverse-order-of-finish player draft, which allows the previous year's worst team to have the first choice among new players entering the league. To some extent, this system promotes equality of teams over time.
- Unequal schedules. The National Football League (NFL) has implemented a policy of unequal schedules (challenging one of the foundations for league organization described earlier) to create greater uncertainty in league outcomes. Schedules are drawn so that the division-winning teams of the previous year play other division winners more often, and last-place teams play each other more often as well. This policy enhances the likelihood that weaker teams will have better win–loss records and helps the league schedule a greater number of compelling matchups than would be generated by a random schedule.
- Revenue sharing. Dominance and dynasties emerge in part because teams in larger cities have access to more revenue than do teams in smaller cities; they can sell more tickets at higher prices and charge higher prices to television networks that want to broadcast their games. To mitigate this potential imbalance, some leagues have established procedures to redistribute revenue from rich teams to poor teams or to provide equal shares of revenue that is generated at a leaguewide level. For example, current league agreements in Major League Baseball require that each team contribute 31 percent of its local revenue (which includes revenue from broadcast contracts and ticket sales) to a common pool that is then redistributed evenly to all teams in the league. The largest source of revenue for NFL teams is television broadcast rights. In the NFL, contracts for broadcast rights are negotiated directly between the league as whole and national networks, rather than between individual teams and their local networks. This policy allows the league to distribute the revenue evenly to all teams regardless of their market size.
- Salary caps. Several leagues also implement salary caps, which limit the amount of money that each team can spend on player payroll, to ensure that teams in larger markets (or with wealthier owners) cannot simply buy up all the best talent by outspending smaller-market teams. Luxury taxes, which are levied as a financial penalty on teams with payrolls above a certain threshold, are designed to serve a similar purpose.
Many critics of professional sport leagues view their obsession with competitive balance in recent years as more of an attempt to increase firm profitability by gaining an economic advantage over players in labor negotiations or by gaining advantage over broadcasting companies in the market for broadcasting rights. In addition, revenue-sharing agreements can often create perverse incentives for teams to lose. A team owner with a low payroll often stands to gain more in profit from revenue-sharing redistribution than he or she might by making the kind of payroll increases necessary to field a winning team.
Downside of Cooperation
At some level, leagues play a benign and beneficial role as a convener of events and guarantor of fair play. Although we accept that the home team has the advantage of its partisan crowd and its familiarity with the home stadium, no one would accept today having the home team hire the referees, pick which ball should be used, or establish the penalties for fouls. But sport leagues also present a troubling set of contradictions. Although leagues allow owners to work together to promote fair play and balanced competition between member teams, they simultaneously allow competing business people to collude with one another to gain control over individual players, squash any competition that might emerge from rival leagues, and exert influence over fans and city finances through market power. Such collusion among entities who are otherwise competitors is a hallmark characteristic of a cartel. Therefore, sport leagues also represent a contradiction in American public policy because their monopolistic operations are aberrations in the face of antitrust law. This contradiction has been enabled by a series of judicial and congressional precedents, which are summarized in table 1.1 and are discussed in detail throughout the remainder of this chapter.

the military coup of May 1997 the Security Council determined that the situation
in Sierra Leone constituted a threat to international peace and security and in
October 1997, by resolution 1132, it imposed an embargo on the supply of arms,
petroleum and related products to Sierra Leone. A travel ban was also imposed on
members of the military junta and relatives.
March 1998, by resolution 1156, the Council lifted the oil embargo and, by its
resolution 1171 (1998) of June 1998, it confirmed the removal of sanctions on
the Government and reimposed the embargo on arms to Sierra Leone other than to
the Government, as well as the travel ban on leading members of the
Revolutionary United Front and of the former military junta.
July 2000, by resolution 1306, the Security Council imposed an embargo on rough
diamonds from Sierra Leone for 18 months, except those controlled by the
Government of Sierra Leone through the certificate of origin regime. In 2001 the
Council's measures regarding the import of rough diamonds from Sierra Leone
were extended for 11 months by resolution 1385 and for a further
6 months in 2002, by resolution 1446.
in light of Sierra Leone's full participation in the Kimberly Process the
Council decided that the Government was able to ensure proper control over
diamond mining areas and signaled its intention not to renew the import of rough
diamonds from the country. This was done through a Press Statement (SC/7778) on
June 2003.
was appointed Chairman of the 1132 Sanctions Committee for Sierra Leone for
2004-2005. Only the arms embargo and travel restrictions remain in force.
Following consultations within the Committee in two occasions, some eighteen
names of individuals affected by sanctions were removed from the list and its
last revised version was published in September 2004.
Brazil's two-year term, we have consulted with members of the Committee and of
the Security Council also on the need to streamline the legal basis for
sanctions in Sierra Leone. This has not been discussed in detail within
the Committee, as it is primarily a matter for the Security Council and
the Committee has also recognized the need to safeguard the sensitive work of
the Special Court.
our view, the expertise of the sanctions committees should feed into
the Council's
decision-making process in appropriate ways. There are often overlaps in
the responsibilities of sanctions committees and the Council and they should be
handled with some degree of flexibility, while recognizing that it is solely the
Council that is responsible for decisions related to the actual scope and design
of sanctions.
his twenty-seventh report on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL)
(S/2005/777), that the Council will consider tomorrow, the Secretary-General
indicates that over its six years of operation, the mission has forged effective
partnerships and placed Sierra Leone "on a firm path to post-conflict
Government has made further progress towards consolidating constitutional order
and assuming full responsibility for the maintenance of security in the country.
In spite of the challenges still presented by many root causes of the conflict
in Sierra Leone and its fragile socio-economic situation, we trust the
prevailing stable environment will allow for increasing international
involvement and long-term sustainable peace dividends. The presence of the
United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL) from 1 January 2006
will greatly contribute to that result.
that context, it is my view that as UNAMSIL completes its draw down, the
Security Council may soon start reviewing the Sierra Leone sanctions regime with
a view to updating its legal basis, streamlining and updating the measures
currently in place, as well as the Committee's mandate. Consultations within
the Sanctions Committee and with the Government of Sierra Leone will contribute
to that end.
Brazil comes close to the end of its tenure in the Security Council and as
Chairman of the 1132 Sanctions Committee, let me thank through you, Mr.
President, the fellow permanent representatives of Algeria, who served as
vice-chairman of the Committee during these two years, and of Argentina in the
current year and of Pakistan in 2004.
cannot conclude without extending my appreciation for the members of the
Secretariat who have assisted us in this task, in particular the Secretary of
the Committee, Mr. James Sutterlin, whose readiness to assist and experience in
the subject-matter have been an essential asset in the work of the Committee.
you very much.

Redirected from Horcrux cave island
|Crystal Cave Island
|Location information
- "The greenish light seemed to be growing larger at last, and within minutes, the boat had come to a halt, bumping gently into something Harry could not see at first, but when he raised his illuminated wand he saw that they had reached a small island of smooth rock in the centre of the lake...The island was no larger than Dumbledore's office: an expanse of flat dark stone on which stood nothing but the source of the greenish light, which looked much brighter up close. Harry squinted at it; at first he thought it was a lamp of some kind, but then he saw that the light was coming from a stone basion rather like the Pensieve, which was set on top of a pedestal"
- —Description of the Horcrux cave island and the basion containing the Drink of Despair[src]
The Crystal Cave Island[1] held the Horcrux of Salazar Slytherin's Locket and later R.A.B.'s fake Horcrux. The island is guarded by the Inferi that live below its perimitering water[2].
The island itself appears to be made of smooth rock, which made it difficult for Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter to move about when they were searching for Lord Voldemort's Horcrux and battling the Inferi[3]. In the middle of the island is a basin full of an emerald green potion, which must be drunk in order to get the Horcrux at the bottom. The potion would cause nightmarish delusions and extreme thirst, which would force the intruder to drink from the lake, as any other water produced would vanish, thus activating the Inferi defence.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaption, the island seems to be made of blocks of slippery ice or chunks of quartz crystals whereas in the book it is smooth dark stone.

John T. Medearis who came to America from England prior to the war of the Revolution, and settled in Virginia is the first of the name of whom we have authentic account. He married Miss Rachel Davis, and to them were born three children -- Benjamin, Martha, and John. Benjamin married Miss Grady of Virginia; Martha, Mr. Phillips of Mississippi; of them, we have no further knowledge. John, from whom we trace our line of descent, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and shall be designated in this paper as Captain John Medearis, as a soldier and officer of the war of the American Revolution, and of services rendered by him in assisting to establish American Independence.
First: John Medearis was Lieutenant in Eaton's Company of the Third North Carolina Infantry, April 15th, 1777. Was promoted to Captain, December 23rd, of same year, in same Company. Was transferred to the First Regiment of North Carolina Continental Infantry, February 6th, 1782.
Second: Captain John Medearis was pensioned as Captain North Carolina Troops at $480.00 per annum. As his application is not on file, his services cannot be more definitely stated; on application of his daughter, Mary Medearis Smith, of Bedford County, Tennessee, March 31st, 1823, the pension was increased to $600.00 per annum as Assistant Deputy Quartermaster General for services of two years.
Third: Military Grant for services as an American soldier in the war of the Revolution, and for actual services rendered as a soldier in the Continental Army, for gallantry, bravery, and loyalty, Captain John Medearis of Fifth Regiment North Carolina Troops, was granted by United States Government, 3,290 acres of land in Marshall County, Tennessee, a record of this land grant appears on page three, of Warrant Number 19, Book Number One, Land Register office, Nashville, Tennessee. The following is a copy of a letter, which is self explanatory:
To the Commissioners of Specific Tax, in
Benton and Newburn Districts, North Carolina:
Halifax, N.S.,
March 13th, 1782
Captain John Medearis attends to receive
the Specific supplies ordered by his Excellency, Governor
Burke, for the use of defraying charges in the Quartermaster's
Department. He bears the several orders for that purpose,
which you will receive and take his receipt for the quantity
he may receive, and oblige,
Your Humble Servant,
Nicholas Long, D.H.
I believe this information was compiled by Mary Medearis, the great-granddaughter of Captain John Medearis. This text was transcribed into this blog from a photocopy of a type written document that provided to me by Charles Ham, the great-grandson of Mary's sister, Frances Dean Medearis.

Charlotte Bronte lived from 1816 to 1855. In 1824 she was sent away to school with her four sisters and they were treated so badly that their father brought them home to Haworth in Yorkshire. The elder two sisters died within a few days and Charlotte and her sisters Emily and Anne were brought up in the isolated village. They were often lonely and loved to walk on the moors. They were all great readers and soon began to write small pieces of verse and stories.
Once Charlotte�s informal education was over she began to work as a governess and teacher in Yorkshire and Belgium so that she could add to the low family income and help to pay for her brother Branwell�s art education. Charlotte was a rather nervous young woman and didn�t like to be away from home for too long. The sisters began to write more seriously and published poetry in 1846 under male pen names � there was a lot of prejudice against women writers. The book was not a success and the sisters all moved on to write novels. Charlotte�s best-known book, Jane Eyre, appeared in 1847 and was soon seen as a work of genius. Charlotte really knew how to make characters and situations come alive.
Charlotte�s life was full of tragedy, never more so than when her brother Branwell and sisters Emily and Anne died within a few months in 1848/49. She married her father�s curate in 1854 but died in 1855, before her fortieth birthday.
