Dumbo is a 1941 animated feature film produced by Walt Disney and first released on October 23, 1941 by RKO Radio Pictures. The fourth film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, Dumbo is based upon a child's book of the same name by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Perl. The main character is Jumbo Jr., a semi-anthropomorphic elephant who is cruelly nicknamed Dumbo. He is ridiculed for his big ears, but in fact he is capable of flying by using them as wings. Throughout some of the film, his only true friend aside from his mother is the mouse Timothy, parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants.
Dumbo is left alone and constantly ridiculed by the other elephants, until a friendly little mouse named Timothy (who has been watching Dumbo crying alone and feels sorry for him) scares the elephants and befriends Dumbo, determined to make him happy again. His plan of getting the Ringmaster (by "talking" to him during his sleep, pretending to be his subconscious) to make Dumbo the climax of his next elephant act backfires when Dumbo slips on his ears again and literally causes the circus to collapse, injuring all the elephants, leaving them badly bruised and more disapproving of Dumbo than ever before.
Dumbo is subsequently made into a clown, and becomes the star attraction of the show. Although he is clearly loved and praised by the audience, he hates his job and misses his mother greatly, with Timothy as his only friend. To cheer Dumbo up, Timothy takes him to visit his imprisoned mother, although all she can do is gently rock him side to side with her trunk, as she cannot reach him due to her chains. Timothy sees all the other baby animals happy with their mothers, and reflects on how the boy who bullied Dumbo was not punished. He sheds a tear as the time comes for them to leave, and Dumbo starts crying again, so much that he gets the hiccups.
To cure the hiccups, Timothy takes Dumbo for a drink of water from a bucket, not knowing that the clowns, during their celebration, accidentally knocked a bottle of beer in it. Within seconds, Dumbo and Timothy are both drunk.
The next morning, Dumbo and Timothy are woken up by a group of crows, and the leader of them, Jim Crow, while laughing his head off, reveals to them that they are somehow in their tree. In shock, Dumbo loses his balance, and they fall to the ground in a puddle. As they walk back to the circus, Timothy wonders how they ended up in the tree, and Jim Crow jokingly suggests that they must have flown up. Timothy takes this seriously and gets excited, and the crows start bullying Dumbo about his flying ears by singing the song "When I See An Elephant Fly". Enraged, Timothy lashes out at the crows for picking on Dumbo, and tells them Dumbo's tragic story. The crows are shocked to hear this, and even start crying for Dumbo.
Jim Crow, clearly feeling guilty, suggests a way to make Dumbo happy again, thinking that Dumbo might be able to fly if his confidence is boosted. Timothy and the crows present Dumbo with a feather which they claim to be magical. The crows then persuade Dumbo to flap his ears and leap off a cliff. Armed with the "magic feather", Dumbo is able to fly with ease.
During a particularly daring shallow dive, Dumbo loses the feather and nearly plummets to his death, until Timothy reveals that the feather was a fake, and that Dumbo's ability to fly was his own. At the last second, Dumbo pulls out of his dive and stuns the entire circus and audience at the astounding sight of an elephant flying. Now finally in command of the situation, Dumbo is able to indulge in a little revenge on his tormentors.
After the performance, Dumbo is a media sensation with Timothy as his manager. The film ends with the circus train having a luxury private car for Mrs. Jumbo and her child, the star of the circus. The Crows bid farewell after one last flight with Dumbo as the train moves on to the next destination.
After its October 23, 1941 release, Dumbo proved to be a financial miracle compared to other Disney movies. The film cost $813,000 to produce, half the cost of Snow White and less than a third of the cost of Pinocchio. Dumbo eventually grossed $1.6 million during its original release; it and Snow White were the only two pre-1943 Disney features to turn a profit (Barrier, 318). It was intended for Dumbo to be on the cover of the December 1941 issue of Time, but the idea was dropped when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, resulting in the United States entering World War II and reducing the box office draw of the film. It was also re-released theatrically on June 22, 1949, December 24, 1959, October 11, 1972, and March 26, 1976
This film was one of the first of Disney's animated films to be broadcast, albeit severely edited, on television, as part of Disney's anthology series. The film then received another distinction of note in 1981, when it was the first of Disney's canon of animated films to be released on home video and also was released in the Walt Disney Classics Video Collection in 1985. That release was followed by remastered versions in: 1986, 1989, 1991 (Classics), and 1994 (Masterpiece). In 2001, a 60th Anniversary Special Edition was released. In 2006, a "Big Top Edition" of the film was released on DVD. A UK Special Edition was released in May 2007 and was a successful Disney release.
The crow characters in the film are seen as African-American caricatures; the leader crow voiced by Cliff Edwards, a white man, was originally named "Jim Crow" for script purposes, and the name stuck. The other crows are all voiced by African-American actors, all members of the Hall Johnson Choir. Despite suggestions of racism by some, many historians such as Zoe Pritchard reject these claims. For instance, the crows are noted as forming the majority of the characters in the movie who are sympathetic to Dumbo's plight (the others are Timothy Q. Mouse and Mrs Jumbo), are free spirits who serve nobody, and intelligent characters aware of the power of self-confidence, unlike the Stepin Fetchit stereotype common at that time. Furthermore, their song "When I See An Elephant Fly" is more orientated to mocking Timothy Mouse than Dumbo's large ears.
Pixar's John Lasseter describes the scene where Timothy sees all the other baby animals happy with their mothers and reflects on how the boy who bullied Dumbo was not punished as "one of the most emotional scenes that Disney ever made,

Authors: Roberds, William; Velde, François R.

Abstract: Publicly owned or commissioned banks were common in Europe from the 15th century. This survey argues that while the early public banks were characterized by great experimentation in their design, a common goal was to create a liquid and reliable monetary asset in environments where such assets were rare or unavailable. The success of these banks was, however, never guaranteed, and even well-run banks could become unstable over time as their success made them susceptible to fiscal exploitation. The popularization of bearer notes in the 18th century broadened the user base for the public banks' money but was also accompanied by increased fiscal abuse. Wartime demands of the Napoleonic Era resulted in the reorganization or dissolution of many early public banks. A prominent exception was the Bank of England, whose adept management of a fiscally backed money provided a foundation for the development of central banks as they exist today. Trade, gravity, and sudden stops: On how commercial trade can increase the stability of capital flows http://hdl.handle.net/10419/101044 Title: Trade, gravity, and sudden stops: On how commercial trade can increase the stability of capital flows

Authors: Cavallo, Eduardo A.

Editors: Cavallo, Eduardo A.

Abstract: Financial stability is an important policy objective since crises are associated with big economic, social, and political costs. Promoting stability requires preventing 'sudden stops' in capital flows, which are events in which foreign financing abruptly disappears. This paper contributes to the discussion by providing new theoretical and empirical evidence on the causal connection between lack of exposure to commercial trade and proclivity to sudden stops. On the theoretical front, I show how exposure to trade raises the creditworthiness of countries and reduces the probability of sudden stops. In relatively closed economies, sudden stops (when they occur) are more harmful, and thus the option to default on the inherited debt is more attractive. Therefore, conditional on the amount that lenders are willing to loan, decreased exposure to trade increases the likelihood of default. A sudden stop takes place when the borrowers reject the amount that lenders want to loan: They receive no new funding, and they concurrently default on the outstanding debt to 'ease the pain.' This proposition is tested using 'gravity estimates,' which are based on countries' geographic characteristics as appropriate instruments for trade. The results indicate that, all else equal, a 10 percentage point decrease in the trade-to-gross domestic product ratio increases the probability of a sudden stop between 30 percent and 40 percent. The policy implications are unambiguous: Increasing the tradable component of a country's GDP will, ceteris paribus, reduce the vulnerability of that country to sudden stops in capital flows. Home hours in the United States and Europe http://hdl.handle.net/10419/101043 Title: Home hours in the United States and Europe

Authors: Fang, Lei; McDaniel, Cara

Abstract: Using data from the Multinational Time Use Study, this paper documents the trends and levels of time allocation, with a focus on home hours, for a relatively large set of industrialized countries during the past 50 years. Three patterns emerge. First, home hours have decreased in both the United States and European countries. Second, female time allocation contributes more to the cross-country difference in both the trends and the levels of market hours and home hours per person. Third, time allocations between the United States and Europe are more similar for the prime-age group than for the young and old groups. The adoption of stress testing: Why the Basel capital measures were not enough http://hdl.handle.net/10419/101042 Title: The adoption of stress testing: Why the Basel capital measures were not enough

Authors: Wall, Larry D.

Abstract: The Basel capital adequacy ratios lost credibility with financial markets during the crisis. This paper argues that failure was the result of the reliance of the Basel standards on overstated asset values in reported equity capital. The United States' stress tests were able to assist in restoring credibility, in part because they could capture deterioration in asset values. However, whether stress tests will prove equally valuable in the next crisis is not clear. Some of the weaknesses in the Basel ratios are being addressed. Moreover, the U.S. tests' success was the result of a combination of circumstances that may not exist next time.

Nations are doing it for themselves. In the absence of a global agreement, four of the seven countries bordering the Himalayas have agreed to work together to deal with the harmful effects that climate change is expected to bring to the region.
India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan met at the Climate Summit for a Living Himalayas in Thimphu, Bhutan, last weekend. There, they agreed to work together on issues including food and water security.
All four countries rely on melt water from Himalayan glaciers. Recent temperature, rainfall and snow projections suggest flow into the Indus river – which supports the world's largest irrigation system – will fall by 8 per cent by 2050. Other rivers in the region will see even greater declines, leaving millions vulnerable to drought (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1183188).
Upstream dams built with regional cooperation could help control the flow – and generate electricity into the bargain, says Saleemul Huq of the International Institute for Environment and Development in London. "It's a significant step forward for the region."
Historically, Himalayan countries have rarely worked together, but regional cooperation could be the best way to tackle climate change – especially as the upcoming UN climate change talks in Durban, South Africa, are not expected to produce a global treaty. To have a lasting impact, though, the group will need to include China, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

If there's one thing I've noticed about dedicated plein air painters, it's their love of light and the great lengths they'll go to behold and/or paint the perfect light condition. I myself have been known to run off a road or two as I turn my head in amazement at a striking sunset or to run out of the room mid-conversation to go gawk at a particularly beautiful Golden Hour moment, and I know there are countless others who have done similar—usually much to the chagrin and confusion of the nonartists among them.
Perhaps the best historical case of Plein Air-itis (the uncontrollable urge to get outside and paint on a beautiful day) is the story of Edgar Payne, who, on the morning of his wedding to Elsie Palmer on November 9, 1912 asked his fiancee if she would mind calling the guests and rescheduling the wedding until later that day because "the light was perfect." (Now that's some serious dedication.)
I'd like to hear your stories of a particular instance where you abruptly ended a conversation, rescheduled an engagement (hopefully not your wedding), or maybe even risked your life to get a glance of, or paint, one of nature's not-to-be-missed moments of beauty.
When I was working as a Lithographer in a Printing Business in Vienna I used to take my bike on Sunday morning to find old houses in the old section of Vienna. In 1947(not sure 1948) I found a little Street (Gasse) Fischergasse. I needed 2 Sundays to paint it with watercolors because I wanted to have the same light. !952 I painted again Fischergasse which should be a birthday gift for my sister who live in Dublin, Ireland. The funny thing of this story is that when I took a look at the dates of the first and the second painting, the second was painted on the same date and the same month only years later.
My sister took a photo of Fischergasse whe it was framed and with a strong yellow cast. But, anyway i put it in my web site.
It was a very cold winter morning--a lot of snow had fallen the night before. The sky was bright and the air very crisp. I knew exactly where I would paint. It was off the path in a near by park--I would be alone. Capturing the morning snow shadows. I remember how my feet started to get cold very quickly standing in the snow. I knew I had very little time before I would have to get back to my car and put the heat on. So I started to paint even more quickly. When out of no where, a morning walker showed up--off the path-- (where I thought no one ever goes). Walks up to me and wants to have a lengthy conversation----sigh. My painting morning was over at that point. However, I was not discouraged, because these are the things that may happen if you want to be a true Plein Air painter.
It was the first big blizzard of the season last December. Three inches of show already on the ground and more coming down fast. I was SO excited: why not go paint a scene of a blizzard on the shoreline of Lake Michigan? From the parking lot, it was several blocks of hiking down a snowy trail to a grand overlook of Antrim Creek, emptying into Lake Michigan. The gigantic umbrella I'd lugged along, thinking it would shield my pallette from blowing snow, quickly proved useless. As I painted, whoosh! The wind caught the umbrella carrying bag and blew it down the steep hill, into the creek. Goodbye! I finished the painting and had to carry it, slipping and sliding up the trail to the car. As long as I was there, I figured I might as well do a second painting. This time I went right down to the water's edge. Set up my Soltek right at the edge of the lake. Waves were bringing in freezing slush, right to my feet. The wind was so strong I had to hold onto the easel with my left hand the entire time. If I turned my head into the wind, it would be stung with freezing ice pellets. Somehow I managed to paint the scene: bleak sky, dark waves, slush along the rocks. Thought I must be crazy to do it, but I HAD to get out there and try it. Careful as I was to try and hold the finished painting, the wind flipped it out of both hands, where it landed face-down in the slush, inches from the water. Thank goodness it was oil paint! Looking back, it was fun. Would I do it again? Probably not.
Last year I took a trip to Isle au Haut to paint. Because I was trekking on foot, I opted to take a very light weight aluminum easel with me. I found a perfect spot perched above a rocky crag. The light dancing on the water below and the rocks beneath me basked in light was too much to resist. I painted seated on a rock, my legs folded underneath me. Then it happened, I leaned forward for a split second, lost my balance and felt myself tipping forward. Unable to move my legs out from underneath me, I panicked and reached out for my aluminum easel desperately hoping that it would brace me and stop my falling forward. Thankfully it did just that. That little Winsor Newton aluminum easel essentially saved me from falling head first into the rocks and ocean below. As they say in Maine, I could have taken a wicked digger. I have had some instances that spooked me, but this one took the cake and made me totally respect my surroundings. I still take risks trying to paint that light, but now I am little more cautious.
I was with a tour group in the Old City of Jerusalem many years ago and was sketching when the group moved on without me. To make a long story short, I was lost for three hours in the labyrinth of streets, and was finally escorted by three english speaking Israeli soldiers with their weapons in hand to safety. When I finally found my bus outside the walled city, the driver said only, "You artists always have your heads in the clouds."

ACKERMAN – Broad Street came to Ackerman for Friday's second-round, Class 2A playoff game with a big-play reputation.
The Indians decided to beat the Jaguars at their own game.
Ackerman used a trio of quick scores in the first half to take control over Broad Street as the Indians rolled to a 29-0 win.
"We were able to get some opportunities for big plays and made them," said Ackerman head coach Adam Dillinger. "We took advantage. It was a good night for us."
Dakota Brasher ran for 109 yards and a touchdown and passed for 52 yards and a score to pace the Ackerman offense.
K.J. Woods had 110 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Indians, while Quinton Lane had 34 yards receiving, one touchdown reception and a critical interception on the defensive side of the football.
Lane's pick actually got the ball rolling for the Indians early in the first quarter as he leaped to intercept a Broad Street pass near midfield and returned it 51 yards for a touchdown and a 6-0 Ackerman lead.
Lane gave some of the credit for his pick to advice given by former Ackerman assistant football coach Steven Moss, who was killed in a tragic bus accident earlier this year.
"I saw the ball after it was released and I just went up and got it," said Lane. "Then, like coach Moss always said, big-time players make big-time plays."
Lane's interception allowed Ackerman to overcome what had originally been a troublesome start to the game according to Dillinger.
"Our first drive, we get a good gain and fumble it away," said Dillinger. "Then (Broad Street) moved the ball a little bit. But Quinton came through and that's the kind of thing that kills drives and takes momentum. It was a big play. He got up and got it, then found the end zone and finished the play."
Ackerman, nor Lane, was done coming up with exciting feats.
Later in the first quarter, Brasher reeled off a 60-yard touchdown run that doubled the Indians' lead to 12-0.
"That's probably the biggest run he's had all year," said Dillinger of Brasher's scamper. "He's probably a 6-or-7-yard guy, but he broke that one, had great blocking downfield and got in the end zone."
On the final play of the first half, Brasher hit Lane on a 34-yard pass that put Ackerman up 19-0 after Roman Ramirez's extra point.
Ramirez added a 40-yard field goal in the third quarter and K.J. Woods scored on a 7-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to cap the night's scoring.
Meanwhile, the Indians defense continued its recent stranglehold.
For the second-straight week, Ackerman kept its opponent off the scoreboard, something the Indians have now done four total times this season.
Lane says he's enjoying keeping opponents scoreless this postseason.
"We're going to try to keep it that way," said Lane.
Lane and the Indians will get their next opportunity to keep up their solid work when Ackerman hosts West Bolivar next Friday with a trip to the Class 2A North final on the line.
West Bolivar defeated Bruce 15-14 on Friday.
Dillinger knows the Indians will have their work cut out for them next week as the postseason pressure picks up.
"When you get to the third round of the playoffs, you know you're playing against a good team no matter who it is," said Dillinger. "You just better be ready to play."

Lockheed Martin sees the Embraer KC-390 as a potentially serious competitor to its C-130J, but it adds that there are still many questions to be answered about the Brazilian aircraft.
Embraer, which aims to deliver the first prototype to the Brazilian air force in 2014, wants to get into the lucrative military transport market with the type. That would put it in contention against the C-130J, which it is most similar to in terms of payload and operational capability, as well as the Airbus Military A400M and Boeing C-17.
"We have to remember that the C-130J is a proven aircraft. It is capable, with its new powerplant and avionics, to meet the strategic needs and tactical needs around the world," says Ross Reynolds, Lockheed's vice-president for C-130 programmes.
"Of course, we see the KC-390 as a competitor. But the key question that Embraer has to answer is how capable really is the aircraft? We still don't know. The C-130J can go into dirt, for example. It is still to be determined if the KC-390 can do that, and it is capabilities like that which make the C-130J stand out."
Looking ahead, Reynolds says that Lockheed anticipates "good demand" for the C-130J in the coming years. The current backlog stands at 99 aircraft, but he says that there is likely to be additional orders from existing and new customers.
"We believe that there will be another 150 orders within the USA and another 100 internationally over the next 10 years," he adds. "The US Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard and Forest Service are all potential customers, while internationally we are looking at interest in the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia.
Part of the C-130J's appeal, he adds, is that Lockheed has been upgrading and modifying the aircraft since its inception several decades ago. This has kept it relevant to current market requirements and that effort will continue, he adds.
"We are constantly looking at ways to improve the aircraft. One thing we are looking at is roll-on, roll-off capability. The flexibility of the platform allows us to transit to different missions and that is something we are looking at," says Reynolds.

For more information or to set up an appointment, call the Logan Regional Hospital Physical Therapy Department at 435-716-5011.
Lymphedema is a buildup of fluid containing cellular waste. Left untreated, lymphedema causes swelling, pain, and limits mobility of the arm or leg. Cancer patients are at risk for lymphedema if they have received surgery or radiation therapy that has removed lymph nodes or damaged lymph vessels. Logan Regional Hospital offers a special program for women after breast cancer surgery. This program includes education about lymphedema and an evaluation of shoulder flexibility, strength, and baseline measurements of both arms by a certified lymphedema specialist. The lymphedema specialist is trained to measure and fit patients with a compression sleeve, which can be used to help prevent and/or treat lymphedema.

The Sam Pitroda committee report offers a starting point.
India is in dire need of broadcast autonomy, especially in the form of a truly autonomous, even if state-assisted, public service broadcaster. This was a promise made by Nehru to Parliament in 1948. But it is yet to be redeemed. The post-Emergency 1977-78 broadcast autonomy committee, in its report "Akash Bharati", presented a blueprint for autonomy. That was dumbed down by the Janata government and a Prasar Bharati bill was finally enacted in 1990, brought into force in 1997 and emasculated almost ab initio.
What the government wanted, with cross-party political support, was some kind of official trumpet. Despite brave efforts to make something of it, Prasar Bharati (PB) has not lived up to its charter that few, if any, have even read. PB's biodata makes for dismal reading.
It is probably the largest public broadcaster in the world, with a staff of 31,621 full-time and 7,269 part-time (mostly government) employees. DD operates 21 channels and AIR has a network of 326 broadcast stations. The engineering and technical services are numerically dominant and no more than 15 per cent of the budget is devoted to programme content, as against 60-80 per cent by other major international broadcasters. Radio has been downgraded and AIR reduced to a poor relative.
The country has over 800 TV channels and 500 FM channels that are only permitted limited news coverage. Community broadcasting, long discouraged, is only now coming into its own. It was, therefore, with much hope and expectation that the appointment of a new expert committee was announced, under Sam Pitroda and seven domain experts, a year ago. That report is now in, but has been virtually ignored in public discussion.
The main recommendation is that PB "needs to be adequately empowered and enabled" with independent professionals and financial self-reliance to "unleash its creative forces" beyond the market as a true voice of India, its ethos, culture and aspirations in order to become a genuine public broadcaster rather than remain a "government broadcaster".
Stress is rightly laid on appropriate mechanisms to confer financial and personnel autonomy on PB. There is gross overstaffing and staff must become employees and not allowed to remain government servants, a pernicious legacy of official control. The board should be professionally managed; there must be a complete transfer of ownership and management of all assets and human resources to PB to make it independent; funding should come from the government, internal resource mobilisation, including monetising the tremendous archival assets of AIR and DD; private investment in production; and by "co-opting industry through CSR budgets.

The Hong Kong Space Museum will screen the latest Omnimax show, "Flying Monsters", from tomorrow (September 1) until February 28 next year. During the show, audiences will soar high into the sky with the largest pterosaur ever and unravel the mystery of how these gigantic creatures could fly.
Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to fly, and they dominated the sky for 150 million years. The Omnimax show "Flying Monsters" will take the audience back to the Mesozoic era 220 million years ago to explore how pterosaurs evolved from reptiles as small as lizards into magnificent flying creatures.
Pterosaurs have been classified into different types based on their unique appearance and characteristics. The Darwinopterus, for example, had a head with a length nearly equal to that of its body, meaning it had a highly evolved brain. The Tapejara had a huge head crest that served many purposes: to help in manoeuvring in flight, to be used as a sail in water, and to be displayed for courtship. With a size similar to that of a glider, the Quetzalcoatlus was the largest animal ever to fly yet it was no heavier than two humans. These huge and magnificent creatures were once the rulers of the sky, but why did they vanish so suddenly? The mysteries of the pterosaurs have puzzled scientists and led them to study the creatures for many years.
Renowned naturalist David Attenborough will take the audience to different parts of the world to look for fossils of the pterosaurs so as to allow a better understanding of the evolution of these huge prehistoric beasts as well as their amazing body structures. State-of-the-art technology will be used to unveil the mysteries of the pterosaurs that have puzzled scientists for decades.
Through the use of advanced computer animation technology, the early pterosaurs will appear before the audience. The film not only reproduces the skeleton of a Dimorphodon fossil found in the early 19th century, but also demonstrates the difficulties these long-tailed pterosaurs encountered when walking on the ground.
The 39-minute "Flying Monsters" will be screened at 1.30pm, 5pm and 8.30pm daily at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. The museum is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays). Tickets are available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and at all URBTIX outlets for $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls). Full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities will receive a half-price concession.
The Hong Kong Space Museum is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. For further information, call 2721 0226 or visit the website at www.omnimax.hk.space.museum .

The Hong Kong Space Museum's latest Omnimax show, "Flying Monsters", reproduces the skeleton of a Dimorphodon fossil found in the early 19th century. By examining this skeleton, the audience can find out how a Dimorphodon made use of the peculiar structure of a finger in its hand to support a wing membrane. (© Atlantic Productions/ZOO)
The Tapejara shown in the film had a peculiar appearance. Scientists have concluded that its huge head crest served many purposes: to help in manoeuvring in flight, to be used as a sail in water, and to be displayed for courtship. (© Atlantic Productions/ZOO)
With its size similar to that of a glider, the Quetzalcoatlus, which is shown in the film, was the largest animal ever to fly. It stood 6 metres tall and had a wingspan of more than 15 metres, yet it was no heavier than two humans. (© Atlantic Productions/ZOO)

Power of Magnetic Therapy
The power of magnetic therapy has been used in the Orient for thousands of years. In Japan, Dr. N. Nakagawa, Chief of Tokyo's Isuzu Hospital, has used magnetic therapy on more than 11,000 patients suffering from muscle spasms in the shoulder and neck region. 90% of them responded and became free of pain. Other studies have shown that higher magnetic strengths showed much more significant improvement than lower magnetic strengths.
Dr. W.D. Muhlbauer, chief of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Munich, Germany's Technical University, reported to the 91st Congress of the Society of Surgery that wounds and burns treated with magnets were healing very successfully.
What Do Magnets DO?
How does the therapy work? We do know that negative magnetic energy stimulates blood flow, improves the lymphatic system and promotes healing.
Within living systems, this energy fights infection, reduces fluid retention, increases oxygen in tissues, supports biological healing, normalizes acid to base balance, relieves pain and other symptoms, reduces fat and calcium deposits. Such therapy is natural, simple, fast, safe and inexpensive. It is external and non-invasive, and is completely free from side effects.
Magnet Therapy
During the past few years, magnetic devices have been claimed to relieve pain and to have therapeutic value against a large number of diseases and conditions. The way to evaluate such claims is to ask whether scientific studies have been published. Pulsed electromagnetic fields -- which induce measurable electric fields -- have been demonstrated effective for treating slow-healing fractures and have shown promise for a few other conditions. There have been many tests conducted that suggest magnet therapy can increase circulation, help you to heal faster from bruises and cuts, can help relieve the pain of arthritis, and helps to alleviate back pain problems.
One of these tests is a double-blind test study, conducted at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, which compared the effects of magnets and fake magnets on knee pain. The study involved 50 adult patients with pain related to having been infected with the polio virus when they were children. A static magnetic device or a placebo device was applied to the patient's skin for 45 minutes. The patients were asked to rate how much pain they experienced when a "trigger point was touched." The researchers reported that the 29 patients exposed to the magnetic device achieved lower pain scores than did the 21 who were exposed to the placebo device. This is just one study of the many conducted showing positive results concluding that magnets have health related benefits.
The most widely studied application of electromagnetic field therapy in human medicine is in fracture therapy. Although the mechanisms remain undetermined, several studies report that electrical fields generated by pulsating electromagnetic field therapy stimulate biologic processes pertinent to osteogenesis and bone graft incorporation. This form of therapy is approved for the treatment of delayed and non-union fractures in humans in the U.S. by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Effectiveness of the treatment is supported by at least two double-blind studies.
A new test has been conducted at the University of Virginia showing some new amazing results as well. The actual results of the study are published in the February 23rd issue of the "Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine." They divided 94 fibromyalgia patients into four groups; one group with sham magnets, one with no magnets, just their usual fibromyalgia medication, one group with a whole body low static exposure, and one group with a low static pad similar to the last, but with very few magnets and a large space between them. We would call these magnetic mattress pads. Ann Gill Taylor, R.N., Ed.D., and study investigator was quoted saying "...we did find a statistically significant difference in pain intensity reduction for one of the active magnet pad groups." The members of this group reported that they not only felt better overall, but their pain during recovery wasn't intense, and the small number of tender points on the body had improved. The other group using fewer magnets reported the same results. Magnet therapy reduced fibromyalgia pain intensity enough in one group of study participants to be "clinically meaningful," the researchers said.
These sources of information have come from the following:
Here is a pain relief study that had negative results:
The problem with this study is the way they attempted to treat the subjects. Magnet therapy isn't a medication that cures you when the pill hits your mouth. Magnet therapy is merely a trigger, or catalyst. Look at this study as a visit to the doctor. You are sick, you are then prescribed a medication to treat that with no guarantee of a cure, and you are expected to take the medicine. If you only take the medicine 6 times in three weeks (which is exactly how the study went), it would be obvious that the little amount of medication you took would not do much good, and your body would be left to heal itself. Magnet therapy is effective only when it is around you, so by treating these patients 6 times in a three week period, you are doing very little for their recovery. But magnet therapy, unlike medication, can be constantly worn without any known negative effect or possibility of overdose. To this day there has been no record of anyone dying from an overdose of magnetics!
Some people doubt that magnet therapy helps you to heal, but everyone is entitled to an opinion. There are skeptics from all walks of life and in all areas of research. There were once individuals who said the earth wasn't round, but we all know how wrong they were; and they too were a majority then. It just goes to show that the human mind is truly and ultimately influenced by themselves, and those they feel associated with.
There have been people who made outrageous claims of "miracle magnets" that are a cure all. These are the people who take advantage of those in need, simply because they can. These individuals have created a bad name for all others in the field, and we want to show you two of these companies below.
Legal and Regulatory Actions
In 1999, the FTC obtained a consent agreement barring two companies from making unsubstantiated claims about their magnetic products. Magnetic Therapeutic Technologies, of Irving, Texas, is barred from claiming that its magnetic sleep pads or other products: (a) are effective against cancers and diabetic ulcers; (b) could stabilize or increase the T-cell count of HIV patients; (c) could reduce nerve spasms associated with diabetic neuropathy; (d) and could increase bone density.
Pain Stops Here! Inc., of Baiting Hollow, N.Y., may no longer claim that its "magnetized water" or other products are useful against cancer, diseases of the liver or other internal organs, gallstones, kidney stones, urinary infection, gastric ulcers, dysentery, diarrhea, skin ulcers, bed sores, sciatica, heart disease, auto-immune illness, neuro-degenerative disease, and could stimulate the growth of plants.
As I stated previously, these sorts of miracle cures are fraudulent and make those in this particular field of science seem bad, but one rotten grape doesn't mean the entire bunch is rotten.
The Bottom Line
There is scientific basis to conclude that magnet therapy can influence the body. Many of today's products produce a significant magnetic field at or beneath the skin's surface.
Please note that we do not prescribe magnets as medication nor do we make any claims as to the effect on you. This page is to be used as reference only. The studies above have been cited and were not conducted by us, for us, or with our knowledge prior to.
Horses & The Benefits of Bio-Magnetics and Magnethotherapy
Bio-magnetics is a natural science dealing with the application of magnetic fields to living things.
Some of the effects that magnetic energy has on living metabolic systems are....
*oxygenation of tissues
*fights infection
*reduces fluid retention
*encourages deep sleep
*supports biological healing
*reduces inflammation
*normalizes acid base balance
*relieves/stops pain and other symptoms
*aids in reducing fat and calcium deposits in circulatory system
*promotes growth of healthy tissue
Magnethotherapy is the treatment of illness/discomfort with magnetic energy/current.
Magnethotherapy is...
*Natural, simple, fast, safe, inexpensive
*External, non-invasive
*Free from any adverse side effects.
What Magnethotherapy does...
*Stimulates blood flow
*Increases circulation
*Improves lymphatic drainage
Magnethotherapy is...
*NOT a cure
*NOT chemistry
The magnetic field does not heal; it merely aids the cells in creating an optimum environment in which the body can begin to heal itself.

Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are back on the offensive, this time against the Catholic Church. Or, more specifically, Pope Benedict XVI, who has been under fire the past month for what he did or didn't do two decades ago to protect children from abusive priests.
The two authors, leaders of The New Atheists, are investigating whether they can have the pope arrested for crimes against humanity when he visits Britain later this year:
"This is a man whose first instinct when his priests are caught with their pants down is to cover up the scandal and damn the young victims to silence," Dawkins, who wrote The God Delusion, said.
"This man is not above or outside the law. The institutionalised concealment of child rape is a crime under any law and demands not private ceremonies of repentance or church-funded payoffs, but justice and punishment," Hitchens, author of God Is Not Great, said.
Their lawyers, barrister Geoffrey Robertson and Mark Stephens, a solicitor, believe they can ask the Crown prosecution Service and that Pope Benedict will not be able to claim diplomatic immunity since he is not the head of a state recognised by the United Nations.
"There is every possibility of legal action against the Pope occurring," said Stephens.
I doubt it, but I'm sure this effort alone will suffice for Dawkins' and Hitchens' goals.

International Museum Day 2013, Hong Kong (IMD 2013, HK) will be held on May 18 and 19. On these two days, all museums under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) as well as other local cultural institutions taking part in this event will organise open days with free admission.
In line with the theme of International Museum Day 2013, "Museums (Memory + Creativity) = Social Change", the participating museums have prepared about 30 fantastic programmes to encourage people from all walks of life to enjoy IMD 2013, HK, to enhance public understanding of Hong Kong's history, culture, arts and science, and to stimulate greater interest in museums in Hong Kong.
IMD 2013, HK is organised by the Hong Kong Museum of History under the LCSD. The Hong Kong Design Centre is co-organising a series of creative programmes for the event. The Hong Kong Museum of History has also organised a series of cross-museum programmes for the event this year.
To encourage public participation, the organiser of IMD 2013, HK will introduce a smartphone game, "iButterfly". By installing this application, users will be able to get the latest news of IMD 2013, HK upon capturing the "i-Butterflies" with their smartphones from May 8 to 19. Meanwhile, they can redeem a specially designed souvenir on the museum open days, May 18 and 19, when visiting the participating museums or cultural institutes by gathering the virtual "Museum Butterflies" and the "IMD Butterflies".
Apart from playing the iButterfly game, visitors can also redeem a souvenir with a museum guide map that has been stamped with the stamp of any of the participating museums and cultural institutes. The museum guide map can be obtained at all the participating museums and institutes.
To align with the IMD's theme this year and to cultivate innovative thinking in the younger generation, the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong Design Centre launched a "Mascot Design Competition" from January to March this year. Participating secondary school students competed to create a mascot for IMD 2013, HK. The design of the winning mascot has been used on souvenirs and promotional materials of IMD 2013, HK. Students from the 30 shortlisted entries have been invited to participate in the Museum Design Workshop in April and May. The workshops will enable the participants to work on a museum project in groups. Under the theme of Hong Kong history and culture, they will be encouraged to use their creativity to design a gallery, museum building or museum souvenirs.
In addition, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra has been invited to perform in the galleries of "The Hong Kong Story" exhibition in the Hong Kong Museum of History on May 15. The performance, entitled "Heart Notes Hong Kong - Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra Ensemble", will be a first for the Hong Kong Museum of History. On May 18 and 19, the Hong Kong Museum of History will also hold a series of curator talks and a seminar for IMD 2013, HK.
Moreover, a variety of educational programmes and activities will be held by the participating museums. The Conservation Office, for example, will hold a workshop, "Artifacts + Science = Conservation", that will show participants how scientific knowledge is applied to the restoration and preservation of artifacts. The Hong Kong Museum of Art will organise "The Storyteller" to review from the history of painting the social life of the Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, and to explore the emotions experienced by the artists. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum will hold "Datoufo... The Rejoicing Heart!", at which a local paper-craft master will demonstrate the making of a Datoufo (big-head buddha), providing an opportunity for the public to learn more about this traditional handicraft. The Hong Kong Science Museum will show the film "The Riddle of Titanic", bringing audiences into the Titanic with diving experts to discover how the vessel, equipped with the finest technology of the age, could sink with such tragic results.
IMD 2013, HK has attracted participation by 39 local cultural institutes. They are the Hong Kong Museum of History and its branches; the Hong Kong Museum of Art; the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and its branches; the Hong Kong Science Museum; the Hong Kong Space Museum; the Flagstaff House Museum Of Tea Ware; the Hong Kong Film Archive; the Conservation Office under LCSD; the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre; the Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage Trail Visitors Centre; the Art Promotion Office; the Museum of Ethnology; Asia Society Hong Kong Center; the Tung Wah Museum; the Po Leung Kuk Museum; the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong; the Stephen Hui Geological Museum of the University of Hong Kong; the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong; the Hong Kong Design Institute Gallery; the Hong Kong Maritime Museum; Dr. & Mrs. Hung Hin Shiu Museum of Chinese Medicine at Hong Kong Baptist University; the Hong Kong Museum of Education of the Hong Kong Institute of Education; the Hong Kong Racing Museum; the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences; the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum; City Gallery; the Lions Nature Education Centre of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department; Tao Heung Museum of Food Culture; the Police Museum; and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Drug Info Centre.
Most of the participating institutes will offer free admission on May 18 and 19, except the Space Theatre of the Hong Kong Space Museum, film programmes of the Hong Kong Film Archive, the Conservation Office under LCSD and the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Drug Info Centre will be closed on May 19.
The International Council of Museums in 1977 designated May 18 of each year International Museum Day. Every year since 2001, the LCSD has organised International Museum Day, Hong Kong by mid-May with the aim of raising public awareness of the roles and functions of museums in society.
The theme of the IMD this year, "Museums (Memory + Creativity) = Social Change", reflects concepts that are essential to defining what museums are today, highlighting their universal nature and positive influence on society, the complexity of museum tasks and the contribution of museums to their communities. The role of museums in society changes with the times. Reconciling their traditional mission of conservation with the creativity necessary for their revival and the development of their audiences - this is how museums are evolving, in the conviction that their presence and actions can transform society constructively.

Can anyone explain me whenever I use Six Updater to update ACE, it will totally freeze my computer and have to resort to hitting the restart button.
Can anyone explain me whenever I use Six Updater to update ACE, it will totally freeze my computer and have to resort to hitting the restart button.
Found a memory leak in the Six Launcher's Server list. Combined with Grouping Favorites from Servers (which disables a crucial memory saving feature of the server list),
this caused for quite high memory usages, even for Microsoft WPF / IronRuby ;-)
I've fixed the memory leak; https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31873 and for the time being i've disabled the grouping feature temporary until improved; https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31651 (The list is still sorted by Favorites and then amount of players by defeault, and re-sortable)
This majorly improves the memory usage and also sorting performance of the datagrid.
Will probably be deployed tomorrow.

New build now also released on auto-update and the download section,
Contains the fix for the memory leak https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31873, and startup parameter added to enable the Beta regardless of the server requiring it; https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31875#note-2
I think I'm actually gonna have to install Six Updater now. I really like the "Six Launcher", it's not overly complicated like the rest of the program!

It seems to be downloading very, very, very slowly though. Not sure why. 30 KB/s.
If I import somoeones server and I want to update my mods to server how can I skip one? For instance in my preset after importing a server I might have a map folder that is 1 gig. How would I tell 6 updater to skip that? I click on skip under custom repo tab then mods tab but it doesnt seem to do anything.
Yeah dayZ update is very slow here in Belgium
I'm pleased to announce our mirror network has once again expanded with another EU location, we now have 16 services active on about 10 servers world wide.
The latest addition sports a 10 Gbit connection and 30 TB traffic/mo and is provided by us.
Hopefully in the future we will also provide such server for the US region.
As of last week, MaSSive kindly provided another community mirror, also in the EU.

And then which, Six Launcher, or Six Updater, or both?
Usual reasons for slow downloads is security software - best exclude every SU executable from all security measures.
Also, Six Launcher does not yet contain any logic to prioritize mirrors, this will be implemented soon: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31615
This will be improved, but there are currently other priorities.
The best thing in any case would be to get the custom network manager to adjust their repo and properly split up the modfolders.
It's not as if there's any difference when SU is managing 1, 10 or 100 modfolders, apart from the improved manageability and flexibility when the mods are properly divided
More importantly, there should be very few reasons to host mods on custom networks, if they are already available on the official network.
By leveraging the official network, there are many advantages like access to the world wide mirror network, for increased availability and transfer speeds.

How much disk space is required for a mirror? Are there any benefits to being a mirror or is it purely voluntary? What kind of access is required for your team?
Also, I'll reply to a message in the Automatic Mod Downloading ARMA3 thread since Max Power requested we move discussion of SU here:
Not only that, but Microsoft is apparently ceasing support for Visual Studio Express (a favourite of .NET developers) in the next iteration - it'll only let you create Metro apps for free. A concerning move for any .NET developer that relies on community development effort. MonoDevelop is a fairly full-featured IDE, similar in functionality to Visual Studio with a visual debugger, support for many forms types (that integrate with each OS's theme fairly fluently) and plenty VCS plugins. Mono happily supports pretty much anything useful that .NET has to offer and is frequently updated with new features. Having developed a couple of ASP/.NET and C#/.NET applications using Mono 2.6, I'm happy to recommend it to any intermediate to advanced developer for pretty much any implementation (in fact, it quite comfortably works with most .NET applications with minimum-to-no effort).

With the latest update, Chrome will now show a speaker icon on any tab that is currently playing a sound, so you know where to go to mute that annoying sound. It will also show a red dot if a tab is using your webcam and a blue rectangle if a tab is casting to your TV connected to a Chromecast. Read more »

This may be the quintessential Delaware novel, very much in the tradition of the Southern California hardboiled master I admire most – Ross McDonald. L.A. highs and lows, the skin trade, fabulous wealth, shattered intimacy. The past coming back to haunt those who dare ignore it. From time to time, former patients get in touch with me, almost always to tell me how well they're doing. But the patients you wonder about are the ones who began treatment but never followed through. The cases that felt like failures. In this novel, one of Delaware's failures appears at his office – a young, beautiful woman whose secrets and ambitions lead to multi-generational tragedy.

President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf says education is a 'big mess' and requires overhauling to meet current realities.
The Liberian leader expressed disappointment with the performance of the Education Ministry in tackling major issues confronting the sector.
She suggested that there will be serious overhauling at the ministry to ensure that the sector is transformed and meet future challenges.
President Sirleaf spoke at a cabinet retreat last week at the Baptist Seminary outside Monrovia. President Sirleaf was so disappointed with the performance of the Education Ministry to the effect that she disregarded the presentation to find out why the ministry is not up to the task.
"I don't even want to look at those targets for the Education Ministry because they're meaningless...unless there is a complete overhaul of that ministry," the President told her cabinet.
It is not clear whether the President would consider replacing Education Minister Etmonia David- Tarpeh, a veteran whose performance is being decried by her boss.
"The reason you don't have enough money is because all your money goes into ghost teachers that we can't get straighten up," President Sirleaf emphasized at the meeting.
During the retreat, Deputy Minister for Instruction, Mator Kpangbai, made the presentation on behalf of the Education Ministry, although Minister Tarpeh was in attendance.
The Education Minister evaded most of the inquiries and concerns raised by the President, and when she decided to address some of them, her responses were blurred. She commented mostly on cleaning up the payroll of ghost teachers, an exercise that seems fruitless.
"It's more than cleaning up the payroll, you've got to clean the ministry," President Sirleaf told Minister Tarpeh. The Education minister also suggested that cleaning the Ministry is also part of the process but that the ministry was limited to certain number of pies in the presentation.
She raised the issue regarding higher education and the reforms that have been implemented by the Education Ministry across the country. Surprisingly, Minister Tarpeh could not present a comprehensive analysis of the Education Sector.
The Liberian leader left the meeting not impressed entire with the performace of some key ministry including Education Ministry still staggering to clean up the payroll of ghost teachers.

Noor Islamic Bank mulls setting up Malaysia and Turkey offices
(Bloomberg) / 16 November 2011
DUBAI - Noor Islamic Bank PJSC, a lender controlled by Dubais government, may expand into Malaysia and Turkey as it seeks to attract more overseas business in the $1 trillion Shariah-compliant finance industry.
"We hope to open an office in Malaysia by the end of next year if we can get at least $500 million of business," Chief Executive Officer Hussain Al Qemzi said in an interview in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday. The Islamic lender may also open an office in Turkey, where it hopes to conclude $2 billion of business by year-end, he said.
Malaysia is home to the world's biggest Islamic bond market, while Turkey passed tax measures earlier this year to promote the sale of Shariah-compliant bonds. The Kuala Lumpur-based Islamic Financial Services Board, a global standards-setting body, estimates that the Islamic finance industry has grown 20 per cent annually since 2000 and will reach $2.8 trillion by 2015.
Dubai should work together to promote more cross-border deals, Al Qemzi said.
"We are talking to some Malaysia lenders to form partnerships to tap businesses in the region," he said, declining to name them.
The Dubai-based company has no plans to take equity ownership in the banks, he said. Noor Islamic reported in July an operating profit of Dh207 million ($56 million) in the six months to June after a loss of Dh9 million in the same period earlier, and a net profit of Dh85 million in the first half. The lender expects to break-even by year-end, Al Qemzi said.

Johannesburg — TOP officials of President Robert Mugabe's government are using their positions to access antiretroviral drugs meant for the poor, according to Zimonline, an independent internet news site that focuses on Zimbabwe.
Zimonline's sources in Zimbabwe say officials intercept the drugs from donors or those purchased by the government's National AIDS Council before they are distributed to state hospitals.
The website, which operates from SA, said it had a list of some of the names of the government and Zanu (PF) officials involved in the drugs scam, but for legal reasons could not reveal them.
It said the list included cabinet ministers, members of Zanu (PF)'s politburo committee, police and military officials as well as some close relatives and friends of the politicians and government officials.
"The (AIDS council) just hands over the drugs (to top officials). It has become so normal it is kind of semi-officialised," said one source, who refused to be named for fear of reprisals.
The source told Zimonline that of the few antiretrovirals that had been received, most had been snapped up by powerful government and army officials or by those who were connected to the ruling elite.
Zimbabwean Health Minister David Parirenyatwa, under whose portfolio the National AIDS Council falls, insisted the scheme was run in a transparent manner.
"I am aware that there are concerns that senior government officials are abusing our free antiretroviral programme, but the allegations are wrong," he said.

In Greek mythology, Autolycus (in Greek, Αὐτόλυκος – "Lone Wolf") was a son of Hermes and Chione.
He was the father of Anticlea (who married Laertes of Ithaca and was the mother of Odysseus) and of several sons of whom only Aesimus is named.
Autolycus was a renowned thief (skills passed down by his father, the King of Thieves and Messenger God) and a formidable exponent of wrestling (which he taught to Heracles). Autolycus stole the cattle of Sisyphus as well as the helmet that his grandson, Odysseus (whom he thus named), wore during the Trojan War. Autolycus was one of the Argonauts. He is also purported to have been the one who took Eurytus' (see the main article, Eurytus) mares (or cattle), leading to the murder of one his sons, Iphitus, by Heracles.
Although not as well known as many other Greek mythological figures, Autolycus has appeared in a number of works of fiction. A comic thief in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale boasts that he is named after Autolycus and, like him, is "a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles". In the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, Autolycus appeared as a somewhat bumbling and comical antihero, referring to himself as the "King of Thieves". Although occasionally uncoordinated, he was also a cunning thief, portrayed by cult actor Bruce Campbell.
Autolycus is also the name of a fictional racehorse in the 1934 film The Clairvoyant, starring Claude Rains.
