Theres more types of persecution than physical persecution. Religion is as much a part of a persons identity as it is 'thier religion'. So when an athiest starts bashing any form of Chrisitianity it is very easy to be horribly mean to the person who is not millitant yet still a Christian. In addition when most athiest argue they are, in there minds, attacking 'the religion'; when they are in fact attacking the person who holds those views. What I'm trying to say is one man's 'tolerance' is another mans 'persecution.'
It is good to look at both sides of the coin.
Also I disagree with your statement millitant Chrisitianity is more acceptable, per se. It's probably more likely that millitant Christian are more acceptable where there are other millitant Christians.
Edit: Heh, this isn't a very cynical post is it? Oops.

When your main point against an establishment is that it preaches intolerance, your main platform should not be that someone else's personal values are "wrong". That's just hypocritical.
I agree with that. My platform is that their values,opinions and ideas of their religion are founded on something unproven, and if one were to insist on believeing said value, opinion or idea despite this, they are a delusional moron. And thats an objective fact.
How can one be a 'militant' athiest anyway?
The same way a Christian can. By aggresivly pronouncing to people that thier views are right and everyone else is a delusional moron.
Edit: So you believe someone is weird for valuing kindness, generosity, forgiveness and love? Those are Christian values are they not?

Yea, like those dudes that attack someone at the slightest mention of God, and start a whole deal about it, and how there is no God.
Those types of Athiests I can't stand. It's almost as if they're trying to make themselves feel better about something.
And I agree, GunZet, when someone just mentions a God or Gods and immediatly someone jumps on that person for it, I find that kinda annoying too, but only when its not relevant to the conversation. If you are talking about a God or Gods, then say what you like on the subject.
What you said was:
Well its ball's for me since in my country where its a custom to be religious, so when we had Civil class we mentioned religion and the professor asked "Who here is religious?" Everyone except me said yes. And then all hell broke lose......." OH my god Gedeon! How can you not believe in god!!!?? Are you even baptized!!!?" Asked my class-mate who breaks at least 5 of the 10 commandments each day, and hasn't even opened the bible. Amused by her reaction i replied: "What father in their right mind wold take someone seriously, if he's name is Gedeon?!" And she said "Sorry Gedeon i can't be friends with you anymore" Of course it was a joke, and after that we all walked to the bus station together as always, but the thing that bugs me the most is that a lot of kids here in Serbia believe in god just cuz their parents said so, and there are even those that say that they don't really like the whole concept of christian religion, and are more conformable with the Buddhism. But they say that they don't wanna bother with changing religion. Sorry for the rant but i would like to ask how many people that are atheists, but went to the church some time in their past, do you know?
The latter is what's known as epistemic relativism, and is postmodernist drivel. (Read Intellectual Impostures by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont to see why) There are areas where arguing relativism is acceptable: knowledge of reality is not one. Logic itself is not a western value, and claiming that it is denies the fact of the evolution of philosophical schools in the Far East, the Middle East, and India - i.e. in all of the oldest large-scale civilisations. I'd think as an anthropology student you'd know of the development of those cultures. I don't include tribal cultures because they're too small to require elaborate and formalised systems of governance and logic: few tribes have built, say, cathedrals.
I think I've exposed myself to criticism for treating science as a meta-narrative. But - for the sane and intellectually honest - it ought to be fairly obvious that reality itself is a meta-narrative, and that science, mathematics, and logic reflect, to a greater or lesser extent, that reality.
Note that by 'science' I mean the hard sciences. I wouldn't include the social sciences or humanities, because their theory is, as you say, inextricable from cultural factors. Reality, on the other hand, doesn't change just because you believe it has. That's the definition of it.

Week in Review: high-tech rides aplenty, Bluetooth's woes & more
Want to get to Australia in a couple of hours? DARPA is working on it, and someday its experimental Vulcan engine might be in commercial aircraft, but in the meantime we can watch this video and dream. And what's with all the vehicle news this week? From cute two-seater gyroplanes to cool single-wheel concepts, cool rides were parking in the blogosphere left and right. Futuristic bikes, electric smart cars, razor-thin race cars — you name it, we saw it. Our favorite might have been the Antro Solo, though, for its mixing of past and future tech.
And don't forget about the stuff that makes the ride more comfortable, like a trusty Knight Rider GPS or in-car Wi-Fi. But here are the top transportation-free stories from the week:
The Fire Footbag: Most dangerous toy ever?
Yep, worse than lawn darts.
Insane toaster launches your toast high into the air for some reason
Think your toaster can pop? Check out this photo.
SHIFT: The trouble with Bluetooth
Why haven't Bluetooth headphones taken off? The answer here.
NASA's Hyperwall 2 is a 23 foot by 10 foot display that puts your TV to shame
Witness the world's highest resolution visualization system. And drool.
Spray-on skin gun will make healing wounds a much faster affair
A new battlefield technology could be the best bandage of all.
Three-person ping pong table is more inclusive
Table tennis just got extreme.
Are two screens on an e-reader better than one?
Besides more display space, the reader just feels more like a book.

Josée Bienvenu Gallery: Julianne Swartz, Hope
Julianne Swartz, installation view, 2007, Maple, hardware, electronics, soundtrack (box made by Ken Landauer)
Josée Bienvenu gallery is pleased to present Julianne Swartz's second solo exhibition in New York. Swartz's new work body of work uses sound and movement to articulate an architecture of frailty. The sculptures embody metaphors for tender communication, the fragility of the body, and the vulnerability and potency of the human heart.
The exhibition includes eight kinetic sculptures and three sound works. Made with clock motors, steel wire, and cement, the sculptures carry suspended text, objects or tiny lights. Wire structures amplify and morph the motion of each second passing: measured time becomes figural movement. The carefully calibrated weight and shape of each sculpture draws its movement: awkward, spasmodic, trembling or swaying.
LX 2.0 new comission: Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries
Lisboa 20 Arte Contemporanea launches next Thursday, May 24th, LX 2.0 Project's new comission: Manhã dos Mongolóides (Morning of the Mongoloids) by Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries.
For LX 2.0, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries created the Portuguese version of Morning of the Mongoloids, the laughable, yet tragic (and extremely ironic) story of a white man who wakes up after a night of "drunken partying" to find himself no longer who he used to be. Without any motive or underlying logic, the man wakes up and gradually realizes he is Korean. He looks Korean, he speaks Korean and he lives in Seoul, when just the night before he was a white man living in a western country. The piece is a delightful insight on the prejudiced views towards Asian cultures and specially, Korean culture. Not only are we faced with the main character's stereotypes of Asian people, as he gradually comes to terms with the improbable change, we, westerners, are confronted with our own biased views of the rest of the world.

Tickets are $5.
Lucy Raven: Hollywood Chop Riding
United States of America
For her solo presentation at YBCA, Raven stages a new anaglyph 3D video installation entitled Curtains (2014). The project emerges out of the artist's ongoing research into the global network of post-production facilities that create the visual effects for Hollywood's blockbuster films. Post-production is meticulous and labor intensive, involving hours of frame-by-frame detailing. Film studios seek the least expensive labor force worldwide to complete their work, outsourcing labor to studios that span Bombay, Beijing, Toronto, London, and Vancouver. Raven visited and documented some of these spaces through sound and image. The result is Curtains, a 3D video that creates a portrait of an otherwise invisible global assembly line, providing a glimpse into the quiet reality and human hands that lie behind the spectacle of fantastic computer-generated simulations found in today's mainstream films.
A series of screenprints from Raven's ongoing RPx project are also featured in the exhibition, as well as a new lenticular print. RPx emerged from research undertaken during a 2011 residency at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, where Raven unearthed and archived motion picture test patterns used by projectionists to calibrate the quality of film projection. The "RP" in Raven's project stands for "recommended practices," a directive set by the standards-developing committee in Hollywood, the Society of Motion Pictures, and Television Engineers (SMPTE) to ensure continuity across viewing experiences. The test patterns featured in the RPx prints are images meant for machines and the technicians who maneuver them, a relic and a precursor to the standards that surround our current high definition images. Both RPx and Curtains point towards the careful engineering involved in the fabrication of illusion, including the construction of human vision within that process.
About the Series
Control: Technology in Culture is a new series of exhibitions in the YBCA Upstairs Galleries showcasing work by emerging and mid-career artists who examine the social, cultural, and experiential implications of technology. The exhibitions in this series seek to prompt timely questions about the profound and far-reaching influence of technology in our daily lives by focusing on artists whose work spans a multitude of disciplines and relates to a diverse set of issues, including architecture, acoustics, psychology, labor, consumerism, the environment, and the military.
The term "control" refers to philosopher Gilles Deleuze's theory that, as a result of the ever-increasing role of information technology, Michel Foucault's "disciplinary society" of the 20th century has given way to a "control society" in the 21st century. In contrast to discipline, which molds the individual through confinement in factories, prisons, and schools, control is diffuse, adaptable, and ubiquitous, modulating rather than molding the individual.
Control: Technology in Culture is curated by Ceci Moss, Assistant Curator of Visual Arts.
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gordon: It Only Happens All of the Time
United States of America
Commissioned by YBCA, Gordon's new installation—part of her solo exhibition It Only Happens All of the Time—is an immersive sonic experience that emphasizes the primacy of the embodied experience; one that encourages the visitor to navigate the space through a mode of listening that is both felt and heard. Gordon explores sound's ability to establish different levels of intimacy, and the exhibition's title points towards the ubiquitous presence of sound in that process, whether it exists at the periphery or center of our awareness. The installation's sound-absorbing walls reference the design of anechoic chambers found in military and scientific testing facilities, which insulate and absorb sound reflections. In contrast to the walls of the installation, which gestures towards a calculated experience, the sculpture Love Seat situated within this contained environment suggests another, more emancipated, arrangement. Surrounded by a multichannel speaker system distributed throughout the gallery, Love Seat encourages visitors to sit and share in a listening experience with others, while maintaining a physical separation. Fostering an exchange between visitors that wavers between proximity and distance, Love Seat parallels how we listen together.
Gordon's other works for the exhibition echo a similar concept—sound as experienced within the body becomes a way to feel with others, and to experience the mechanisms of built space through non-visual means. Her film Everyone Will Be Here Now But Me documents a site-specific sound environment created within the empty offices of the Los Angeles Food Center. It follows visitors as they explore sound installations distributed throughout the building, with the option to listen through binaural microphones that captured the 3D stereo sound of the space. The suspended figures in Gordon's new series of drawings and watercolors Filter Resonance B more subtly signal the body; wire-like lines protrude and drift through these organ-like forms, a reference to the potential for connectivity. Gordon imagines that the drawings represent actual filters, which isolate information, and their presentation is meant to evoke the interfaces of audio filters in music software, which allow the user to directly regulate reverb, equalization, and so on by manipulating graphic elements. Much like the show itself, these strange configurations invite reflection on the many ways the body is instrumentalized through technology.

Brenna Murphy: Liquid Vehicle Transmitter
United States of America
For her new installation, emergent entity chant array, Murphy has designed a type of fractal involving self-similar patterns at varying scales. Constructed out of a precisely configured assemblage of 3D printed sculptures, LED lights, light boxes, and wood cut forms, the installation resembles a real life version of her complex and dizzying internet-based works. Like Murphy's virtual video game environments, emergent entity chant array plays upon the visitor's perception of both space and dimension, encouraging the exploration of elevated states of consciousness.
Deeply post-humanist in her approach, Murphy views her creative process as a form of meditation in which she seeks an intuitive, harmonious relation with the tools used to produce her work. Her intricate arrangement of forms focuses her own energy and that of the viewer, drawing them in. This sense of an attuned connection with an audience is also an active element in the art collectives of which she is a member, MSHR and Oregon Painting Society.

"PROGRAM" is an interdisciplinary event series organized by graduate students within New York University's Media, Culture and Communication, English, and Comparative Literature Departments. Intentionally broad in scope, the series will present talks that explore the cultural, historical, aesthetic and political impact of software and programming logic.
This first event in our year-long lecture series explores the intersection of architecture and the logic of computation. How does computation structure our physical world, and in what ways has the function of computational media been applied to the spaces we inhabit?

Now, not only buildings but also entire cities have become spatial products that typically reproduce free zone world cities like Shenzhen or Dubai. Space has become a mobile, monetized, almost infrastructural, technology, where infrastructure is not only the urban substructure, but also the urban structure itself. Some of the most radical changes to the globalizing world are being written, not in the language of law and diplomacy, but rather in the language of this matrix space. Massive global infrastructure systems, administered by mixtures of public and private cohorts and driven by profound irrationalities, generate de facto, undeclared forms of polity faster than any even quasi-official forms of governance can legislate them—a wilder mongrel than any storied Leviathan for which we have studied political response. Infrastructure space is one crucible within which multiple fields of analysis encounter ample complexity, and it tutors special approaches to both form making and political arts.

Erica Robles (New York University, MCC)
Mediated Congregation: The Crystal Cathedral and God's Place in a Networked WorldThis talk focuses on an often-overlooked institution that has helped produce and legitimate transformations in 20th century social life: the church. Through an analysis of the Crystal Cathedral Robles situates Protestant spatial production within a broader project of cultural re-formation whereby collective life became conducted via increasingly mediated, mobile, and distributed arrangements. For more than half a century, this influential Southern California ministry helped reshape the style and material conditions for worship. At its height, the Crystal Cathedral was perhaps the most visible Protestant church in the world.
Robles will render three distinctive and successive portraits of the church as a drive-in theater (1955-1957), an indoor-outdoor/television church (1962-1970), and then a globally-broadcast, glass and steel cathedral (1980 – 2012). Each site was a re-imagining of the socio-technical conditions for communion. Together, these portraits will trace a trajectory from the post-war to the present whereby the church helped determine technological and architectural meanings. By designing for mediated congregation, ministries like the Crystal Cathedral inscribed the production of broadcast and then networked geographies with spiritual significance. In so doing, they also translated Christian cosmology into a new technological regime.

DIY for Your Soul Podcast - Introducing DIY for Your Soul
in Self Help
Join Personal Development Coach, Tim Billiter for the very first weekly DIY for Your Soul Podcast. In this introductory podcast, you will learn more about Tim Billiter and what the DIY for Your Soul concept is all about.
Each podcast is approximately 15 minutes long and future episodes will cover a variety of self-help, self-improvement and personal growth topics.
The subject of each weekly DIY for Your Soul Podcast draws from a variety of topics and concepts that aim to assist you in constructing a true sense of well being for yourself. They are meant to be thought provoking, to challenge you in breaking free from old ideas and habits that inhibit your personal growth, and to provide you with tips and tools to foster new beliefs and behaviors that will keep you on a track of constant progression.
DIY for Your Soul is the name of Personal Development Coach, Tim Billiter's coaching practice that is based on the idea that each of us, at our very core (our soul), is ultimately responsible for creating the life of our dreams and becoming the people we've always imagined ourselves being.
DIY simply refers to building, modifying, or repairing something though self-reliance; taking on the tasks oneself vs. having others complete them for us. And since most of us, at least at some point and time, find ourselves building, re-building, modifying or repairing portions of our lives, in essence, each of our lives is the ultimate DIY project.
And as for the Soul, it is not about any specific religious beliefs, spiritual practices or dogma It is referencing the life force that runs through you. It is about energy - the energy that we call life.
DIY for Your Soul Podcast - And When You Are Wrong...
in Self Help
When you do something wrong, make a mistake, or say something that you know you shouldn't have, do you immediately admit you were wrong, or do you practice avoidance, or even make excuses and rationalize your behavior? A lot of us, whether we admit it or not, fall into the latter category.
Many times, we knowingly do something wrong, or act in a manner that does not show us in our best light, and either because of embarrassment, or that we are simply head strong, we begin to rationalize our behaviors. We convince ourselves that it was the situation, or the actions of another, that caused us to behave in the way that we did. And if that hadn't happened, we wouldn't have said, or did, what we said or did. We give ourselves a free pass. We're not wrong. We were provoked. Thus we were justified in our actions or our words.
In this podcast we will look at how our inability to admit when we are wrong is more of a sign of weakness than strength. We will learn that taking personal responsibility not only lifts a huge emotional weight off of our shoulders, it also tends to improve our relationships.
DIY for Your Soul Podcast - The Negative Effects of Negativity
in Self Help
Do you tend to focus on the negative aspects of life? Are you more of a pessimist, or what some call a realist, more than an optimist? Many of us live our lives in various levels of fear and those fears color how we see the world. And negativity is one of the ways our minds attempt to protect us from those things we are afraid of. Negativity steers us away from taking chances and from uncertainties. But all of this comes at a price. And the cost is our failure to live the lives we truly desire, and being the person who we've always imagined ourselves being.
In this podcast we will be looking at how negativity has an overall negative affect on our lives and how we go about recognizing it in ourselves and then beginning to challenge it.

the ultimate girls recap
family matters and fake marriages.
by: liza darwin
March 03 2014
view galleryWe love Girls! You love Girls! So for the entire third season we'll be doing weekly recaps. Check back in to get our editors' takes on what went down, plus an exclusive illustration from Girls Illustrated artist Nina Cosford. (And, of course, spoiler alert! Catch up on last week's episodes here.)
Hot on the heels of last week's episode, which revolved around all of the girls sorting out their issues (and creating new ones, duh), Marnie, Shosh, and Jessa were strikingly absent from episode nine of the series. This time it was all about Hannah, and the result was surprisingly refreshing.
Like always, we love the show most when we can relate--but instead of guy problems and friend fights, this time was more of a family affair. And obviously, it brought tons of drama, but not no obvious? The unexpected sentimental ending. See our highlights here, and be sure and watch it if you haven't already!

An iron maiden (German: eiserne Jungfrau) is a presumed torture device, consisting of an iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficiently tall to enclose a human being.
The iron maiden is often associated with the golden age.[1] However, no account has been found earlier than 1793, although medieval torture devices were catalogued and reproduced during the 19th century.
Wolfgang Schild, a professor of criminal law, criminal law history, and philosophy of law at the University of Bielefeld, has argued that supposed iron maidens were pieced together from artifacts found in museums to create spectacular objects intended for (commercial) exhibition.[2]
The most famous iron maiden was that of Nuremberg, first displayed possibly as far back as 1802. The original was lost in the Allied bombing of Nuremberg in 1944. A copy "from the Royal Castle of Nuremberg", crafted for public display, was sold through J. Ichenhauser of London to the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1890 along with other torture devices, and, after being displayed at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893, was taken on an American tour.[3] This copy was auctioned in the early 1960s and is now on display at the Medieval Crime Museum, Rothenburg ob der Tauber.[4]
Historians have ascertained that Johann Philipp Siebenkees created the history of it as a hoax in 1793. According to Siebenkees' colportage, it was first used on August 14, 1515, to execute a coin forger.[5]
It was built in the 19th century as a probable misinterpretation of a medieval "Schandmantel" ("mantle of shame"), which was made of wood and tin but without spikes.
It was anthropomorphic, probably styled after primitive "Gothic" representations of Mary, the mother of Jesus, with a cast likeness of her on the face. It was about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall and 3 feet (0.91 m) wide, had double doors, and was big enough to contain an adult man. Inside the tomb-sized container it had dozens of sharp spikes.
A crude copy was supposedly found among the palace effects of Uday Hussein in Iraq.[6]
Several 19th-century iron maidens are on display in museums around the world,[citation needed] but it is unlikely that they were ever employed.
Inspiration for the iron maiden may come from the Carthaginian execution of Marcus Atilius Regulus as recorded in Tertullian's "To the Martyrs" (Chapter 4) and Augustine of Hippo's The City of God (I.15), in which the Carthaginians "packed him into a tight wooden box, spiked with sharp nails on all sides so that he could not lean in any direction without being pierced",[7] or by the account of Nabis of Sparta's deadly statue of his wife, the Apega.
British heavy metal band Iron Maiden got their name from the torture device.

Preševo (Serbian Cyrillic: Прешево, pronounced [prêʃeʋo]; Albanian: Presheva) is a town and municipality in the Pčinja District of southern Serbia, bordering Republic of Macedonia. It is the largest town of the region known as the Preševo Valley, and the cultural center of Albanians in south Serbia.
According to the 2002 census, the town of Preševo had a population of 13,426 people, while the municipality had 34,904 inhabitants. The majority of the population is Albanian with a percentage of 91.3% (31,098), followed then by Serbian 6.5% (2,204), and rom ethnicity with less than 1%.[3]
|This section may be too long and excessively detailed.
In the Middle Ages, Preševo was part of Serbia. According to Stefan Dušan's charter to the monastery of Arhiljevica dated August 1355, sevastokrator Dejan possessed a large province east of Skopska Crna Gora. It included the old župe (counties) of Žegligovo and Preševo (modern Kumanovo region with Sredorek, Kozjačija and the larger part of Pčinja).[4][5] As despot under the rule of Uroš V, Dejan was entrusted with the administration of the territory between South Morava, Pčinja, Skopska Crna Gora (hereditary lands) and in the east, the Upper Struma river with Velbuzhd, a province notably larger than during Dušan's life.[6][7][8] After the death of Dejan, his province, besides the župe of Žegligovo and Upper Struma, was appropriated to nobleman Vlatko Paskačić.[9] Dejan's eldest son Jovan also received the title of despot, like his father before, by Emperor Uroš.[10] In the new redistribution of feudal power, after 1371, the brothers despot Jovan and gospodin Konstantin greatly expanded their province.[11][12] Not only did they recreate their father's province but also at least doubled the territory, on all sides, but chiefly towards the south.[11] Ottoman sources report that in 1373, the Ottoman army compelled Jovan (who they called Saruyar) in the upper Struma, to recognize Ottoman vassalage.[13] As Prince Marko had done, also the Dejanović brothers recognized Ottoman sovereignty.[14] Although vassals, they had their own government.[12] In the Wallachian victory at the Battle of Rovine (17 May 1395), both Marko and Konstantin died.[15] The provinces of Marko and Konstantin became Ottoman.[15]
From 1929 to 1941 Preševo was part of the Vardar Banovina. During the April War the Kingdom of Yugoslavia capitulated after 12 days of war against the Axis Powers. On April 20, Bulgaria occupied part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, including Preševo. The royal authoritarian dictatorship of Bulgaria occupied the area until September 7, 1944, when they handed the area over to Nazi Germany. The Albanian collaborationist regime Balli Kombëtar subsequently took over the area. In mid-November Yugoslav partisans forced the retreat of the occupying Albanian forces.[16]

Ethnic groups in the municipality[edit]
The population of the Preševo municipality has, at close to 90%, the highest percentage of ethnic Albanians, excluding the disputed territory of Kosovo.[citation needed] Most of the remainder of its inhabitants are Serbs.
Settlements by ethnic majority[edit]
Most settlements in Preševo municipality have an absolute Albanian majority.[citation needed] The exceptions are the villages: Ljanik, Svinjište, Slavujevac and Cakanovac, where Serbs compose an ethnic majority.[citation needed]
Also, most villages have more than 90% Albanian population[citation needed], but there are some settlements in which the Serbs of Preševo Valley live and where they form a significant minority: Buštranje, Golemi Dol, Reljan, Strezovce, Trnava, Čukarka, and the town of Preševo.[citation needed]
|Ethnic Composition
In 1992, the Albanians of the area organized a referendum in which they voted that Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac should join Kosovo. Between 1999 and 2001, an ethnic Albanian paramilitary separatist organization, the UÇPMB, operated in this region with a goal to occupy these three municipalities by force of arms from Yugoslavia and join them to a future independent Kosovo. The activities attracted less international media interest than the related events of Kosovo War and the 2001 insurgency in the Republic of Macedonia. The terror was quelled down by the Yugoslav army, in an operation that did not take a long time, and in which NATO troops helped by controlling that the terrorists did not flee the action back into Kosovo.
Since December 2005, the previous president lost in his seat and was replaced by the Albanian Democratic party (PDSH) with leader Ragmi Mustafa. After six months, the population again voted and again Ragmi Mustafa was chosen as Municipal President of Preševo for the next four years. On 13 May 2008, the population again voted and again Ragmi Mustafa was chosen as Municipal President of Preševo for the next four years. On 10 May 2012, the population again voted and again Ragmi Mustafa was chosen as Municipal President of Preševo for the next four years, with 42% of votes.[citation needed]
Stele controversies 2012–2013[edit]
The situation was tense, because on 21 November 2012, the local city council of Preševo illegally erected a stele in the center of the town honoring members of the former separatist paramilitary organisation UÇPMB, who died during the Preševo Valley Conflict from 1999 to 2001. The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ivica Dačić, said about this incident that: "It's best that they remove it themselves, because this is a needless provocation, nowhere else in Europe memorial plaque can be erected to those who are members of terrorist organizations and those who are directly involved in the murders of police officers and soldiers".[17][18] He called for the removal of the stele to 17 January, then several Albanian politicians and organizations responded with criticism. Mayor of Preševo Ragmi Mustafa said that the stele shows the identity of the Albanians in the region and announced that would end the cooperation with national authorities of Serbia if the monument is removed.[19] Serbian Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vučić announced that they will act in frame of the law in connection with the controversial stele, and that no one can act against the for all the same applicable constitution and seeks the reason in ethnicity. He added that Serbia wants peace, but will respond to any provocation.[20]
Deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo Rexhep Selimi and Nait Hasani, a former member of the paramilitary separatist organization UÇK, threatened with an armed conflict if the institutions of Serbia removed the memorial plaque.[21] The former US diplomat, United Nations peacekeeper and UN regional representative of Kosovska Mitrovica Gerard Gallucci said: "Serbs, do not fall for provocations like this with the memorial plaque in Preševo".[22] President of the National Assembly of Serbia Nebojša Stefanović explained that it is unacceptable that in Serbia there is a memorial plaque to a terrorist organization and those who killed the citizens of Serbia.[23] He added that is not an ethnic conflict, but the problem is the honoring of those who killed Serbs with a memorial plaque in Serbia.[24] Nevertheless, a member of the Coalition of Albanians of the Preševo Valley, Jonuz Musliu, which has one seat in the Parliament of Serbia, said that the stele will not be removed.[25] However, the stele was removed without prejudice by a bulldozer which was guarded by members of the Serbian Gendarmery on 20 January 2013. Despite threats from various Albanian Nationalist organizations, there were no incidents during and after the removal.
As a first reaction, the former commander of UÇPMB, Orhan Rexhepi, made the separatist statement that this is a "historic day", because "Preševo and Bujanovac will be a part of Kosovo."[26] Ragmi Mustafa, Preševo's Mayor, confirmed shortly afterwards that the Albanians want a union with Kosovo for a long time.[27] The former president of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, the reigning Serbian minister of home and foreign trade and telecommunications, as well as the current President of the Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDP), the Bosniak Rasim Ljajić responded and said that the Preševo valley will not be part of Kosovo or may be because the Albanian representatives from southern Serbia do not have the support of the international community, he also warned against the exploitation of the situation by the Albanians.[28] The operation of the Serbian police broke into the local population from turmoil. During the day, several hundred people gathered at the site of the stele laid flowers and candles in memory of the fallen UÇPMB members. The Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha announced that "the Albanian government calls the international institutions to stop this action", even though the U.S. had already announced earlier that it is an internal affair of Serbia, which should solve their elected representatives.[29]
On the evening of 20 January, a group of Albanians who protested against the removal of the stele gathered in Djakovica.[30] Some of them tried forcibly to enter in the Serbian monastery of the Holy Virgin, where several nuns still live, but the attack would prevented from strong associations of the KFOR.[30] On the night of 21 January, it overlapped to the Serbian enclave Gorazdevac, were the monuments of the Serb victims of the NATO bombing in 1999, and the Serbian children who were shot at the river Bistrica[disambiguation needed] by Albanians in 2003, desecrated and destroyed.[31] geschändet bzw. zerstört.[32] Thousands of Preševo citizens rallied on 21 January 2013, to protest the removal of the stele dedicated to Albanian guerrillas.[33] Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić said that there was no reason for any kind of protests, the illicit stele was not destroyed, nor was violence used. He added that "not believe that in the United States, Al-Qaeda veterans, or those who have carried out several terrorist attacks in London or Paris, would decide whether a memorial stele should be built." The Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha announced during a press conference in Tirana, that Albania would review its relations with Serbia, if that is necessary. He also stated that the Albanian government will do everything in his power to help the Albanians in Serbia. Albin Kurti, leader of the Albanian radical organization Vetëvendosje said instead, that the most responsible for this situation is more likely in Kosovo, the government of Hashim Thaci.[34]
In response to the removal of the stele, dozens of Albanians, led by former UÇK veterans, destroyed in Vitina a memorial plaque from the Second World War with a crane, which reminiscent on the anti-fascist struggle of the Serbs, and has not been prevented from attending the Kosovo Police.[35] Till the evening of 21 January were destroyed throughout Kosovo over 140 Serbian gravestones,[36] burned a chapel and several crosses.[32] Subsequently, responded the representative of the USA and EU, as well as the OSCE, KFOR and EULEX, and sharply condemned the destruction of Serbian monuments and tombs.[32][36] They added that there is no justification for this violence, and that such actions were totally unacceptable.[32][36][37]
Depleted uranium[edit]
A total of 161 depleted uranium bullets have been recovered in Reljan near Preševo in southern Serbia. The Serbian government has funded the cleanup operation of the Reljan site with 350,000 euros.[38]

Researchers from UNSW have cautioned that more work is needed to understand how micro-organisms respond to the disinfecting properties of silver nano-particles, increasingly used in consumer goods, and for medical and environmental applications.
Although nanosilver has effective antimicrobial properties against certain pathogens, overexposure to silver nano-particles can cause other potentially harmful organisms to rapidly adapt and flourish, a UNSW study reveals.
This result, published in the journal Small, could have wide-reaching implications for the future use of nanosilver as an antimicrobial agent with biomedical and environmental applications.
"We found an important natural ability of a widely occurring bacteria to adapt quite rapidly to the antimicrobial action of nanosilver. This is the first unambiguous evidence of this induced adaptation," says co-author Dr Cindy Gunawan, from the UNSW School of Chemical Engineering.

This invention relates to a device for inserting a catheter into a blood vessel and more particularly to a device for moving a catheter through a blood vessel.
As is well known, a catheter is a tube which may be inserted into the body for various purposes including removal or injection of fluids into the body. A catheter may be inserted into a blood vessel for the purpose of feeding intravenously, as well as for other purposes. Therefore, the catheter has to be maintained in a sterile condition before and during the time it is used. A method currently in use in the art is to make an incision in the blood vessel and then pass the catheter therein. It can be appreciated that such a method is fraught with difflculties. This is especially true since the catheter has to be manually handled before insertion into the blood vessel. As a result, antiseptic conditions are difficult to maintain and it is also difficult to force the catheter through the blood vessel a predetermined distance.
Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide a new and improved device for inserting a catheter into a vessel.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved device for forcing a catheter through a vessel antiseptically.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved device for guiding a catheter in a vessel and moving it therein.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved device for inserting a catheter into a vessel wherein the length of the catheter that is forced into the blood vessel is readily determined.
Briefly stated, the invention in one form thereof comprises a housing carrying a hollow needle which receives a catheter and guides it into a vessel. A drive means carried by the housing moves the catheter through the needle and the vessel.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference is had to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the device of this invention forcing a catheter through a blood vessel into close proximity to the heart organ.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the device of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 is a perspective side view of the hollow needle and bushing used with the device of this invention.
FIG. 7 is a view taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 8 is a plane view of a device embodying the invention being utilized in conjunction with a syringe.
FIG. 9 is a sectional view seen in the plane of line 9-9 of FIG. 8.
FIG. 10 is a top plan view of another device embodying the invention; and
FIG. 11 is a sectional view seen in the plane of lines 11-11 of FIG. 10.
One use of the device of the invention is shown in FIG. 1, where the device 10 is mounted to the arm 12 of a person. A catheter is forced through the vessel, shown bydotted lines 14, until it is in close proximity to a desired location, such as the heart 16. The catheter is then detached from the device, as explained below, and used for its intended purpose, such as intravenous feeding or the like. It should be understood that, although the preferred embodiment is described for use in inserting a catheter into a blood vessel, the device can be used to insert and force a catheter through any irregular passage.
Referring to FIGS. 2 7, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of this invention, the device comprises a frame or housing member 18 having a removable top member 20 which snaps on and off the member 18 by means of pins 22. As shown in FIG. 3, member 18 has a large chamber 24 defined therein for containing therein the bulk of a flexible catheter 26. The distal end of catheter 26 is attached to a conical portion 28 which is received in a complimentary shaped passageway 30. The chamber 24 extends into a channel 32 which leads into another channel 34. The channel 34 leads to a second chamber 36. Located in chamber 36 is a bushing member 38 connected to a hollow needle 40. Needle 40 extends through passageway 42 externally of frame 18.
The' needle 40 and bushing 38 are more clearly shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Needle 40 is formed with a sharp point 44 at one end so that it may easily penetrate the skin. Both the bushing 38 and needle 40 are formed with longitudinal slots 47 and 48 therein, throughout their entire length, so that the catheter may be removed therefrom by pulling the catheter in the direction of arrow 50. As shown in FIG. 7, the walls of the needle positively retain the catheter. However, the catheter is .sufficiently flexibly deformable that it may be pulled from the needle, as shown in FIG. 6. Bushing 38 and needle 40 may be formed as a single member or as separate members which are suitably connected.
The catheter 26 is moved from chamber 24 through needle 40 once the needle has been inserted into the blood vessel of a patient by a drive means 52. The drive means 52 is positioned in two chambers 54 located adjacent passageway 34 and comprises two roller members 56 and 58 which act upon catheter 26 so that, upon rotation of said rollers, the catheter is driven in the desired direction. Spur gears 60 and 62 are connected to roller members 56 and 58, respectively, so the rollers rotate together. Attached to one of the spur gears (such as spur gear 62) is a knob 63 on a shaft 64. Gear 62 and roller 58 are mounted fast on shaft 64. Upon rotation of knob 63 the gears 60 and 62 and roller members 56 and 58, connected thereto respectively, will rotate to force catheter 26 through the needle 40.
The present device provides means by which the length of the catheter forced into the blood vessel of the patient may be accurately determined. When most of the catheter has been passed out of chamber 24, the conical portion 28 in channel 30 will terminate the movement of the catheter through the blood vessel. Thus, only a predetermined length of catheter will be forced into the blood vessel.
The catheter 26 is inserted into the device under antiseptic conditions and a cover (not shown) is provided for needle 40 for anitseptic purposes. In operation, the shsarp point 44 of needle 40 is forced into the blood vessel and the handle 62 is rotated until no further movement of catheter 26 is observed. Movement of the catheter 26 can be observed through slot 48. Additionally, cover may be transparent so that the user may observe the catheter 26 in chamber 24. Top 20 is then removed which will also remove roller drive means 52. The conical portion 28 is then passed out of channel 30 and the external length of the catheter is taken out of frame 18. The needle is then removed from the blood vessel of the patient and the catheter 26 may then be removed from the needle 40 and bushing 38 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 6. Funnel portion 28 may then be attached to an intravenous feeding bottle or other device, as required. The needle 40 and bushing 38 are discarded. The frame 18 and removable top 20 may also be discarded since they are very inexpensive to manufacture. However, if desired, the frame 18 and top 20 may be sterilized and used again.
Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 together with the manner in which a device embodying the invention may be utilized with syringe without removal of the catheter. The operating members of FIGS..8 and 9 are identical to those shown in FIGS. 2 7 and, therefore, bear the same reference numerals with the exception of the housing. A syringe 68 comprising a reservoir 69 and plunger 70 has a conical stopper portion 71 adapted to be received within conical member 28 and provide an air tight fit. Syringe 68 carries needle 72 adapted to extend into catheter 26 for injection of fluid into the subject through the catheter. When the catheter has been inserted the desired distance as determined either by predetermined length being fully extended or by reading calibration marks C thereon, as shown in FIG. 6, plunger 70 may be depressed to inject fluid in reservoir 69. If it is desired to withdraw a fluid located at the distal end of catheter 26 plunger 70 is withdrawn to create a low pressure in reservoir 69 and draw fluid from the subject into this reservoir.
As exemplified in FIG. 9 the housing may be molded in any, desirable external configuration and comprises upper and lower members which are positioned by pins 74 in the same manner that top member 20 is positioned with respect to housing 18 in the embodiment, shown in FIGS. 2 7.
Another embodiment of the invention wherein the entire apparatus is disposable is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. A housing member 75 defining the chambers 24 and 36 together with the chambers 54 for the drive means comprises a bottom member 76 and top members 77 and 78 sealed thereto and defining a slot 81 extending the length of housing 75. In this embodiment the drive means comprises a drive roller 82 and an idler roller 83 positioned within the chambers 54.
It will be noted that the rollers 82 and 83 have upper portions 82 a and 83a of increased diameter. These portions serve to correctly space the rollers in their chambers and also insure retention of the catheter between'the rollers during operation. The spacing be tween portions 82a and 83a, however, is selected to be of sufficient dimension to allow the catheter to be removed therefromin the same manner as it is removed from the needle. as shown in FIG. 7.
Drive roller 82 is mounted to a shaft 84 internally of housing and a knob 85 is mounted to shaft 84 externally of housing 75. The slot 81 defined between the top member 77 and 78 runs the length of housing 75 and permits the catheter 79 together with its end piece 86 to be withdrawn from housing 75. Thereafter the housing 75 and the operating mechanism therein may be disposed of as refuse.
The rollers 82 and 83 and also the rollers 56 and 58 in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 9 are positioned so as to engage the walls of the catheter with sufficient friction to drive the catheter through the needle and move the catheter into its intended passage. However, the rollers are also arranged such that when the catheter is fully extended and the driving knob is further turned that the frictional engagement will be insufficient to pull the catheter or disengage the catheter from its conical end piece by allowing the rollers to slip on the walls of the catheter.
Preferred catheters are those of silicon rubber, hydro-acrylics, and others which exhibit the desired degree of flexibility and surface smoothness. It will be understood that the needles may be secured to the housing as by having one end secured therein when the housing is molded.
It may thus be seen that the objects of the invention set forth, as well as those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained. Since changes in the disclosed embodiments of the invention, as well as other embodiments thereof which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention may occur to others skilled in the art, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments and modification to the disclosed embodiments of the invention which do not depart from the spirit and scope thereof.
