Getting married more than offsets the risks of smoking, according to a survey. "If you must smoke, get yourself a wife," advises economist Andrew Oswald.
When he and Jonathan Gardner, both of the University of Warwick, analysed data from a survey of over 5000 British households and another of 2500 retired people they found male smokers were 5.8 per cent more likely to die early. But married men were 6.1 per cent less likely to die early. "Roughly, marriage nullifies the effects of smoking," Oswald says.
Women have less to gain. While female smokers were 5.1 per cent more likely to die young, marriage cut the odds by only 2.9 per cent. "The feminist view is that marriage is a better deal for men," Oswald says. But he thinks it's more likely that tying the knot curbs men's self-destructive tendencies. Surprisingly, wealth made little difference to how long people lived. ...

Teratogens Overview
What is a teratogen?
A teratogen is an agent that can cause or increase the chance of a birth defect. It is usually something in the environment that the mother may be exposed to during her pregnancy. It could be a prescribed medication, a street drug, alcohol use, chemical exposure, or an infection present in the mother, which could increase the chance for a baby to be born with a birth defect.
What are the most sensitive periods for teratogens in pregnancy?
Once the egg is fertilized (conception), it takes about six to nine days for implantation (anchoring into the uterus) to occur. Once the fertilized egg is attached to the uterus, a common blood supply exists between the mother and the embryo. In other words, if something is in the mother's blood, it can now cross over to the developing fetus. Teratogens are thought to have the ability to begin affecting the fetus about 10 to14 days after conception.
During the development of a baby, there are certain internal organs forming at certain times. If a teratogen has the potential to interfere with the closure of the neural tube, for example, the exposure to the teratogen must occur in the first 3.5 to 4.5 weeks of the pregnancy (since this is when the neural tube closes in a fetus). There are some organ systems that are sensitive to teratogens throughout the entire pregnancy, such as the central nervous system. The central nervous system includes the baby's brain and spine. One teratogen that affects the central nervous system is alcohol. Alcohol use, at any time during the pregnancy, has the potential to cause birth defects and health problems in a baby, since the central nervous system is sensitive to teratogens the entire nine months of gestation. This is why alcohol consumption should be completely avoided during pregnancy.

Princeton Jct, NJ (PRWEB) October 02, 2013
Rapidsoft Systems today introduced new training courses related to IT security and IP networking for IT professionals. These courses are designed for specific competencies critical to meeting demand for IT security skills that align with evolving roles, technologies and business requirements. There is a significant need to upgrade these skills if companies are to avoid data breaches and safeguard their data centers and networks from determined hackers.
All Rapidsoft Systems' training programs and courses are designed and delivered under the expert guidance of Brijesh Kumar, Ph.D., an internationally recognized network security researcher and a former professor of Cyber Security at a major research university. Dr. Kumar formerly led research in IP networking, mobile communications and IT security at major technology companies such as Motorola and Panasonic Corporations and is a member of technical review panels for many professional IEEE and ACM conferences/ journals.
The combination of new security threats, regulatory compliance mandates, and the need to protect customer and organizational data requires continuous vigilance and trained manpower. However, most IT departments are ill-equipped due to the lack of proper training in the security technologies. The increasing complexity of networks, data centers and new emerging technologies make it harder for busy professionals to keep up-to-date. With the emergence of mobility, social networking, voice, video, virtualization and cloud computing, it is becoming very difficult to safeguard critical infrastructure against very determined adversaries. The only way to manage risks is to be better prepared.
Commenting on the launch, Dr. Brijesh Kumar, Head of Technology, and Director of Training Programs, said, "As the leader in security technology consulting, Rapidsoft Systems is dedicated to developing training programs that help IT professionals stay ahead of ever increasing threats and vulnerabilities. All our training programs are delivered by the subject matter experts. At Rapidsoft Systems, we continue to evolve skills development for security professionals to match changing business requirements and new roles."
New Security Courses Offered:
More information about these courses can be obtained by contacting the company.

Not "calendula flower": flower & herbs
6 people found the following review helpful
Posted by PurplePegasus on Jul 07, 2013
The box does bear the "organic" logo, to the side and the teas come inside a plastic ziploc type bag. The sachets do not have any staples nor string, they are to be fished out with a spoon. I did not like the smell of the tea sachet. I noticed it's not that golden-yellow but instead has a lot of brown stuff (herbs? roots?) in it, it's about 50/50. I did not care for the taste of this tea: it's too perfumey for my taste and very sweet (I never add anything to my teas, just spring water). I couldn't finish drinking it. Also, the tea color was not yellow it was colorless which makes me question how much potency this has. I poured the rest into an empty rose water spritz bottle and used it as mist: it makes the skin extremely soft. I then cut open the sachet: there's indeed more greenish-brown stuff in it than yellow! An image engine search for "calendula tea" shows all golden yellow petals, no brown stuff. Disappointed. The search further says that calendula tea benefits include increase in collagen production due to flavonoid content, and colds & flu prevention. It's also supposed to be a strong anti-fungal and bactericide. I will not purchase this tea again because one sachet yielded more than a 4oz spray bottle and that bottle is going to last me several months. When I run out of this, I would purchase a different brand of organic calendula tea, this time inquiring first to make sure I'm getting all yellow petals and no brown stuff. If you don't mind a strong perfumey taste and are willing to test it out for the collagen benefits, it might just be the right tea for you.
Great healing calendula tea.

Relaxing herbal tea with a slightly bitter taste and soothing aroma. Rich in manganese, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, vitamin A, tannins, antioxidants and flavonoids, calendula tea is full of health benefits and can help people suffering from morning sickness, nausea, cardiovascular conditions, anemia, hypertension, headache, gluten intolerance and celiac disease, diabetes, leg cramps, arthritis, rheumatism, water retention, gallstones and gallbladder disease, IBS, asthma, colds, flues, asthma, gingivitis, canker sores and gum disease, acne, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, as well as other conditions. Calendula tea flushes toxins out of the body, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, relieves nausea and bloating, increases appetite, heals gastric ulcers, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, facilitates healing, boosts the immune system, relieves menstrual cramps, fights inflammation, helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, soothes and heals dry and damaged skin. In addition to all this, calendula tea has almost no known side effects or contraindications. A used tea bag can be applied topically to heal wounds, scars, bruises, cuts, burns, rashes and acne-affected areas of your skin. A calendula face mask or scrub improves the complexion, brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces redness, spots, blotchiness and small lines, helps break down old scar tissue and prevent premature aging. It's a wonderful tea and I would recommend it to people suffering from inflammatory disorders and gastrointestinal conditions, as well as to anyone wanting to improve their overall health and well-being.
Excellent tea

It got rid of my menstrual cramps and has a nice flavour
I bought this for a family member.
Posted by Reviewer1804549 on Nov 17, 2014
I bought this product for a family member. It has helped them very well. I cannot say everything about the effect that the Herbal Tea has on their body. I just know from years of experience with them that certain Herbs can work better and are safer than over the counter things, or something found in a Drug Store. I am only speaking on the results of what I have heard from the person it was bought for.

WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) - Officials in northern Colorado say at
least 150 homes are damaged following a large tornado that killed
one person and cut a 35-mile path though several towns.
An official with the state Division of Emergency Management
provided the number of at least 150 homes damaged. However, a
commander of the response team says a preliminary estimate based on
a flyover showed about 100 houses destroyed and 100 damaged. But he
says those numbers could change dramatically.
Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave today remarked that it was
"miraculous" that there has not been more loss of life after her
tour of damaged neighborhoods.
The twister cut power to 60,000 customers, but electricity has
been restored to most of those affected.

I had one new in 79 as well and it burned oil like a lamp. I remember one trip across the US: I had ridden non stop except for fuel from Denver to Detroit. I was going over the bridge to Windsor Ont and the oil light came on so I shut her down and coasted into customs. I ended up pushing the bike out of customs to the nearest gas station - not an easy feat - where I added almost 5 litres of oil. I had run it almost completely dry (not sure what I was thinking - live and learn - or not)! It survived another trip out west the following year but the year after that, I blew a main bearing ruining the crank and effectively trashing the engine. I pulled it all apart and tried to smooth out the gouges in the crank, installed new bearings but it was all to no avail! I managed to pick up a very low milage motor out of a demo that was crashed for cheap and swapped it in. I sold it a year or so later and always regretted getting rid of it (in spite of the oil burning).
Good luck

Twenty-six thousand years ago in the Czech Republic, one of our ice-age ancestors selected a hunk of mammoth ivory and carved this enigmatic portrait of a woman - the oldest ever found. By looking at artefacts like this as works of art, rather than archaeological finds, a new exhibition at the British Museum in London hopes to help us see them and their creators with new eyes.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
At work, I have root access to a Apache server, but don't have access to
the DNS servers.
I would love to be able to associate domain names to the Apache server,
but I would have to ask the sys admins for help and they would frown on
this sort of thing.
I guess what I'm asking is this:
Is there any way to get www.mydomain.com to point to
www.mycompany.com/~myHomeDir without having access to the DNS servers at
my job?
I was hoping this could be done with a Apache virtual host, but after
reading up on that, it doesn't sound possible...

Last week, I setup my Xbox One to power my TV. However, I noticed that my Xbox One sends a signal to my TV without proper context to my TV's state. For example, my wife turned off the TV, but left the Xbox One on. The Xbox One eventually turned itself off, but it turned the TV on. Shouldn't it be able to tell my TV to turn off rather than telling it to do the opposite of it's current power state like a toggle? It can control the volume without a problem, and under ideal conditions, turns the TV on or off in conjunction with itself. But surely if my TV can be controlled by the Xbox One, it could provide specific on/off signals matching the state of itself, right? Or am I making some assumptions on what my TV or Xbox One can do?
Best Answer SlasherKG , 25 February 2014 - 23:40
All it is doing is sending the IR codes via the Kinect IR sensor. Chances are your TV doesn't have a specific ON code vs OFF code, or the code Microsoft uses is a generic set that has a combination code.Go to the full post

Who among us hasn't made a statement that runs along the lines of "if 'x' happens, I'll do 'y'"? Those type of claims get bandied about all the time, and for the most part, if 'x' doesn't happen the person that made the statement isn't made to follow through on the 'y' part. However, most of the times those proclamations aren't made on national television.
If you recall, during the lead up to UFC 157's co-main event, there was Chael Sonnen, pointing to Rashad Evans' shoes and stating with the utmost confidence that Dan Henderson was going to defeat Lyoto Machida in that fight.
How sure was Sonnen? Sure enough to point to Rashad Evans and state, "Rashad hold that shoe up. If I get this wrong, tomorrow in the post-fight show, I will lick that shoe. Dan Henderson wins. I mean this, mark my words—I will lick that boot tomorrow on this show. Dan Henderson in the co-main event."
Fast forward to Saturday night and after 15 minutes, there stood Lyoto Machida in the center of the Octagon getting his hand raised in victory following a split decision over Henderson.
If you thought Sonnen would go back on his word, you'd be wrong.
During the post-fight show, Evans wasted no time throwing his Converse up on the desk and pointing to his shoe. Sonnen followed through and licked the shoe of his co-host while Jay Glazer sat to the side and stated, "you, my friend, are a moron."
But as Chael said, "a deal's a deal."

[UPDATE] Following the publication of this story, a Bethesda representative confirmed with GameSpot that no new downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is in the works.
"No, there will be no other DLC," the company said.
The original story follows below
Bethesda Game Studios is moving on from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, its award-winning 2011 role-playing game. In a blog post today, the developer said its next project is now at the point where it requires the studio's full attention, though the outfit promised it will continue to support Skyrim.
"Even though we're moving on, we'll still have minor updates to Skyrim as needed," the developer said. "We've invested so much of ourselves into Skyrim and will never truly say goodbye to it."
Since shipping Skyrim in November 2011, Bethesda has released three downloadable content expansions for the game (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn) as well as Kinect support for the Xbox 360 version and the Creation Kit for the PC version.
No official details regarding Bethesda Game Studios' next project have been divulged, though a past report suggests a Boston-set Fallout 4 is in the works. In addition, Bethesda parent company Zenimax Media this month trademarked a new game called "Starfield," though the publisher has declined to comment on what this may be.
Bethesda said last week that it would make "considerably more noise" in 2013.

Mike Holderness's article on virtual universities made very sad reading (6 October, p 48). To suggest that the practical elements of courses in chemistry and biology can be abstracted and concentrated (out of context) in one lump, seems to indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of the learning process and effective teaching.
Even for those areas where the domain and objects of study can be conveyed through a monitor screen, it is a particularly arid view. If virtual learning becomes the norm, then why not virtual socialising? After all, you can sit at home with a drink and talk to your friends on the phone. Why bother going out?

Lung cancer remains a formidable disease, but the outlook for improved therapies is far from grim at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart
Greenebaum Cancer Center (UMGCC), where a multidisciplinary approach
by specialists in radiation oncology, medical oncology and thoracic surgery combines a can-do attitude with a wide variety of innovative treatments and ongoing research designed to target the needs of specific groups of patients.
Recognized and supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as one of the country's leading cancer treatment centers, UMGCC and its physicians are immersed in numerous investigator-initiated and nationwide clinical trials — along with prominent industry collaborations — achieving advances in the care and outcomes of those with non-small cell lung cancer, elderly patients, those with locally advanced cases, never-smokers and a host of others, resulting in steadily improving prognoses and quality of life.
"There's little question that thoracic oncology has become an area where we have a lot more to offer," says Martin Edelman, M.D., director of solid tumor oncology at UMGCC and professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "That's gratifying, but there's also the feeling that there's a lot of other potential things we can do. Clearly it's an area in which we've seen enormous progress in a relatively short period of time."
In the past five to 10 years, UMGCC physicians have progressed from treating all cases of non-small cell lung cancer as a single disease to recognizing that this most common form is actually many different diseases based on a variety of biological factors, Dr. Edelman says. Several compelling gene mutations have been identified predominantly in never-smokers, who account for as many cases of lung cancer in the United States as all cases of ovarian cancer. Collaborating with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, UMGCC has been investigating ways of overcoming drug resistance in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) translocation mutations, which is common in this patient group and for which erlotinib is being extensively tested, Dr. Edelman explains.
In addition, the center has a number of innovative studies for patients with more typical lung cancer. One study, an NCI-sponsored randomized study evaluating the use of COX-2 inhibitors in addition to chemotherapy, is based upon work that began a decade ago at UMGCC by Dr. Edelman, who is the lead investigator nationally. Another of UMGCC's major advances has been treating patients with locally advanced lung cancer — found in lymph nodes in the chest and/or mediastinum region as well as in the lung — with a multi-modality approach. Adding chemotherapy to radiation has resulted in improved cure rates of 20% to 30% of these patients, and some patients with localized disease undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery have seen cure rates of up to 65%. An area of particular expertise for UMGCC has been the use of chemotherapy and radiation followed by surgery, which has led to two consecutive national studies led by members of our thoracic team. "This center has been a national leader in treatments and paradigms for that," he says.
Improvements in radiation therapy have centered on deciphering how lung tumors move as patients breathe during treatment or even as tumors shrink during treatment. Tumor-specific motion technology used by UMGCC, which employs 4-D imaging, ensures that radiation targets diseased cells instead of healthy tissue nearby, decreasing treatment toxicity. Ongoing research involves developing better models to accurately predict tumor motion during daily treatments and how motion changes during a prolonged therapy. This is performed by studying surrogates of tumor movement such as the diaphragm, carina or abdominal surface, which often correlates with the dynamics of the tumor.
"Priority goal No. 1 is to hit the tumor with radiation, but these improvements can lead to less radiation to normal tissue," says Steven Feigenberg, M.D., associate professor of radiation oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of UMGCC's Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Program. "Tumors move differently from day to day, and can change rather dramatically during a prolonged treatment." Knowing exact tumor position especially aids in the administration of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), which delivers three to five treatments of high dose radiation over the course of one week rather than daily treatments for seven weeks, the typical protocol. While SBRT is usually used on patients who are not surgical candidates, UMGCC physicians have been involved in a national study to test this technique on operable patients.
"We've found out, along with others, that SBRT produces not just the same results, but significantly better results with fewer side effects as compared to a prolonged course of therapy," Dr. Feigenberg says. "The longer treatment has a 65% chance of working, but this has a 90% chance. With this newer technique, we're curing a lot of the small tumors. In addition, these advances in techniques have also changed how we treat advanced tumors by reducing radiation to surrounding critical structures."
Much the same as in radiation oncology, surgical advances at UMGCC have concentrated on preserving healthy lung tissue while excising primarily diseased cells. For earlier-stage tumors, physicians are using minimally invasive approaches that include video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. For tumors less than 2 cm in size with no evidence of metastasis, UMGCC is currently participating in an international phase III randomized trial sponsored by the NCI comparing wedge resection to lobectomy for non-small cell cases. Available surgical techniques span a wide range, including a sleeve upper lobectomy, which excises a portion of the bronchus with the upper lobe and reattaches the remaining lower lobe bronchus to the proximal main bronchus to avoid removing the entire lung.
This procedure, like other lung-sparing modalities, is used more often at UMGCC than at other cancer centers, according to Richard Battafarano, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of surgery and chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery. The international research trial will answer an important question, Dr. Battafarano notes. "If you try to save lung by staying close to the tumor, you're always worried about recurrence," he explains. "If we focus on lung preservation and recurrence rates are high, that's not an ideal endpoint. If the patient has limited pulmonary reserve and we perform lobectomy, the resulting shortness of breath may not be an appropriate balance. We have to find where that important balance point is."
Finding the right balance in patient care has also meant discerning how to help each individual patient, regardless of age. While many elderly patients have historically been passed over for lung cancer treatment because of comorbidities and increased risks, UMGCC physicians are committed to pinpointing the therapy — whether minimal or aggressive — that may improve these older patients' outcomes without stripping them of comfort. For elderly patients with lung cancer, the UMGCC group has demonstrated that aggressive multi-modality care can be safely performed with results that are comparable to the younger population, according to Dr. Edelman.

ADHD at School
Friends or not?
Has anyone experienced their son having trouble with
someone they consider a friend? A friend complained
to teacher about my son saying things that were in response to questions the boy asked but then he didn't like the answers. And if my son ever points something out that he got wrong he can't except it. Now I am not trying to say my guy is always right or perfect and the other guy is extremely bright but I truly think he misses
common sense things in interactions. I should also say
that my guy can be trying at times and can be a nervous wreck and awkward. And any advise how to
help them work it out, they are both 13? Or is this just a
boy thing and we should let the teachers deal with them.

Bootstrapping allows entrepreneurs to operate their startups with minimal investments from others, according to equity capital expert, Bill Payne. This allows entrepreneurs to postpone raising capital while their firms mature and retain ownership of their companies during that time.
Bootstrapping is one way to extend existing cash and postpone the need to raise money, thus allowing the entrepreneur time to achieve milestones and raise the valuation of the company. The author provides specific ways to bootstrap your company and extend your cash runway.

CLINTON – Even in defeat, Starkville High boys basketball standouts Gavin Ware and Jacolby Mobley found ways to get noticed at the Mississippi Association of Coaches All-Star Game at Mississippi College in Clinton this weekend.
Playing for a North team that dropped a 103-92 decision to the South All-Stars, Ware still garnered honors as the game's Best Defensive Player Saturday, one day after Mobley won both the boys and overall 3-point shooting contests.
"The whole experience was good," said Mobley, a guard for SHS. "Gavin won his award and I won two awards...So it's good to bring a whole bunch of stuff back to Starkville."
The only downside of the weekend came during Saturday's game itself, as the South continued its dominance in the 57th annual all-star event to stretch its lead in the all-time series to 36-21.
That fact didn't disappoint Ware too much as the center, who gave his verbal commitment to the Mississippi State men's basketball program last month, said he had a blast representing the Yellowjackets on such a big stage.
"For the coaches to recognize me for my defense, it's just an honor and a privilege," said Ware. "It was all good and exciting. We got a lot accomplished individually and as a team. It was just a lot of fun."
For Mobley, the fun started early, outlasting all the competition on Friday to earn his 3-point shooting accolades.
"It felt good to win it," said Mobley. "I was hoping I'd win it when I got in it, so it's good to be the best 3-point shooter in the state right now."
To earn his hardware, Mobley said he simply used the demeanor that makes him successful during actual games.
"I just shot the same way I would have if someone had been in my face," said Mobley.
By doing so, Mobley set in motion a successful weekend for himself and fellow senior-to-be Ware, a pair of days that Ware says were extremely enjoyable despite the outcome of Saturday's game.
"There was no hatred in the air, no tension or nothing like that on our team or between us and the South," said Ware. "So this weekend was really just a lot about having fun."

'Criminal Minds' 'Gatekeeper': Matthew Gray Gubler likes directing 'strange ones'Add to Favorites | Criminal Minds
Matthew Gray Gubler knows every new season of "Criminal Minds" means more than an acting job for him.
The CBS show's Dr. Spencer Reid also has gotten to direct at least one episode -- and usually two -- for the past several years. His latest turn for dual duty comes Wednesday (Nov. 6) with "Gatekeeper," as the Behavioral Analysis Unit searches for a new Boston strangler who takes a memento from each victim.
"This is my sixth time," the friendly Gubler tells Zap2it of directing the series. "It's what brought me to Los Angeles originally, and what I went to school for, so it's great to have the opportunity to do it on the show that I'm on.
"I think my first ones were well-received, so I've been very fortunate they've asked me to do two for the past couple of years. To keep on getting asked to do it is a real honor."
Fellow "Criminal Minds" cast and crew members have gotten used to Gubler calling the shots. "We work like a well-oiled machine," he maintains. "I've directed other things on a smaller scale outside of the show, but having a group of 100 people you've worked with every day for nine years makes it so much more fun. Also, we read each other's minds, so it's a very fun experience."
But it doesn't necessarily mean Gubler's workload as an actor is any lighter in the episodes he directs. "The first one I did, I was kind of light. The only slightly hard thing about directing the show is that we work at such a fast pace, I don't have time to watch playback.
"I've been written in so heavily in the recent ones I've directed, it's taught me how to be able to act and direct at the same time, which I never really had an aspiration to do. It was either one or the other, but I really love doing them simultaneously now, thanks to the sort of rigorous training I've been through."
In fact, Gubler explains, "The acting part of my brain and the directing part are two different compartments. At first, it seemed like an almost impossible task. I have a tremendous amount of confidence as a director, more so than as an actor in a way. I know how to do something exactly right in that world, whereas as an actor, I have to feel something emotionally.
"I have to trick my own brain into being in that moment," adds Gubler. "I was worried that as a director who's making the moment, how do you also become part of that moment as an actor? For whatever reason, they combine nicely at this point, and I actually prefer acting in the ones I direct. I think it makes me a little bit better at both."
Despite the Boston setting of "Gatekeeper," Gubler insists he wasn't thinking of any of the city's recent milestones ... the tragic, as with the Boston Marathon bombings, nor the triumphant such as the path to the 2013 World Series win by the Red Sox.
"I'm completely out of touch with everything current," he notes. "I kind of live in an alternate reality, and I try really hard to make all the episodes I direct feel timeless. That's the one really picky thing I do as a director; I want every costume, every car and everything to feel like it could exist in the 1960s or the 2010s. I like ambiguously dated things." (That also helps with the series' frequent repeats on A&E and ION Television.)
Set to direct another episode before the current "Criminal Minds" season ends, Gubler believes he's particularly adept at guiding "the strange ones" ... not that any aren't strange in their own way, a staple of the show. "They're the ones where you can have a little more liberty in creating a fun world. I think the writers got an opportunity to pitch ideas that might have seemed preposterous, but that the network had faith I could pull off.
"One was the human-puppet episode (last season's 'The Lesson'). Maybe I'm too proud of myself, but I like to think I've helped make our show a little more strange and unique."

Asie mineure
Ephesus was an Ionian Greek city in ancient Anatolia, founded by colonists from Athens in the 10th century BC. The city was located in Ionia, where the Cayster River flows into the Aegean Sea, and was part of the Panionian League. Today's archaeological site lies 3 km south of the Selçuk district of Ýzmir Province, Turkey. The ruins of Ephesus are favourite international and local tourist attractions, partly owing to their easy accessibility from Adnan Menderes Airport and via the port of Kuþadasý.
Ephesus hosted one of the seven churches of Asia, addressed in the Book of Revelation (2:1-7). It is also the site of a large Gladiator graveyard.
Main sights
The site is large. Only an estimated 15% has been excavated. The ruins that are visible give some idea of the city's original splendour, and the names associated with the ruins are evocative of its former life. The theater dominates the view down Harbour Street which leads to the long silted-up harbor.
- The Library of Celsus, whose façade has been carefully reconstructed from all original pieces, was built ca. AD 125 by Gaius Julius Aquila in memory of his father, and once held nearly 12,000 scrolls. Designed with an exaggerated entrance so as to enhance its perceived size, speculate many historians the building faces east so that the reading rooms could make best use of the morning light. An underground tunnel, marked by the simple figures of a woman, a heart, and a price, leads from the library to a nearby building believed to have been a drinking establishment or brothel.
- A part of the site, St. John's Basilica, was built in the 6th century AD, under emperor Justinian I over the supposed site of the apostle's tomb. It is now surrounded by a Turkish town, Selçuk.
- The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is represented only by one inconspicuous column, revealed during an archaeological excavation by the British Museum in the 1870s. Some fragments of the frieze (which are insufficient to suggest the form of the original) and other small finds were removed - some to London and some to the Archaeological Museum, Istanbul. Other edifices excavated include:
- The Odeon - a small roofed theatre constructed by Vedius Antonius and his wife in around 150 A.D. It was a small salon for plays and concerts, seating about 1,500 people. There were 22 stairs in the theater. The upper part of the theatre was decorated with red granite pillars in the Corinthian style. The entrances were at both sides of the stage and reached by a few steps.
- The Temple of Hadrian dates from the 2nd century but underwent repairs in the 4th century and has been reerected from the surviving architectural fragments. The reliefs in the upper sections are casts, the originals being now exhibited in the Selçuk Archaeological Museum. A number of figures are depicted in the reliefs, including the emperor Theodisius I with his wife and eldest son.
- The Temple of Domitian was one of the largest temples on the city. It was erected on a pseudodipteral plan with 8 x 13 columns. The temple and its statue are some of the few remains connected with Domitian.
- The Theater - At an estimated 44,000 seating capacity, it is believed to be the largest outdoor theater in the ancient world.
- The Tomb/Fountain of Pollio - erected by a grateful city in 97 AD in honor of C. Sextilius Pollio, who constructed the Marnas aqueduct, by Offilius Proculus. It has a concave facade.
- There were two agoras, one for commercial and one for state business.
Seven sleepers
Ephesus is believed to be the city of Seven Sleepers. The story of Seven Sleepers, which are considered saints by Christians and Muslims, tells that they were persecuted because of their belief in God and slept in a cave near Ephesus for centuries.
The surrounding area of Ephesus was already inhabited during the Neolithic Age (about 6000 BC) as was revealed by the excavations at the hoyuk (mounds) at Arvalya and Cukurici Mounds.
Excavations in recent years have unearthed settlements from the early Bronze Age at the Ayasuluk Hill. In 1954 a burial ground from the Mycenaean era (1500-1400 BC) with ceramic pots was discovered close the ruins of the basilica of St. John. This was the period of the Mycenaean Expansion when the Achaioi (as they were called by Homer) settled in Ahhiyawa during the 14th and the 13th centuries BC. Scholars believe that Ephesus was founded on the settlement of Apasa (or Abasa), a Bronze Age-city noted in 14th century BC Hittite sources as in the land of Ahhiyawa.
Hellenistic Ephesus
The city of Ephesus itself was founded as an Attic-Ionian colony in the 10th century BC on the Ayasuluk Hill, three kilometers from the center of antique Ephesus (as attested by excavations at the Seljuk castle during the 1990s). The mythical founder of the city was Androklos, son of king Kadros and a prince of Athens, who had to leave his country after the death of his father. According to legend, he founded Ephesus on the place where the oracle of Delphi became reality ("A fish and a boar will you show the way"). Androklos drove away most of the native Carian and Lelegian inhabitants of the city and united his people with the remainder. He was a successful warrior and, as king, he was able to join the twelve cities of Ionia together into the Ionian League. During his reign the city began to prosper. He died in a battle against the Carians when he came to the aid of Priene, another city of the Ionian League. Androklos and his dog are depicted on the Hadrian temple frieze, dating from the second century. Later, Greek historians such as Pausanias, Strabo and the poet Kallinos, and the historian Herodotos however reassigned the city's mythological foundation to Ephos, queen of the Amazons.
The Greek goddess Artemis and the great Anatolian goddess Kybele were identified together as Artemis of Ephesus. The many-breasted "Lady of Ephesus", identified with Artemis, was venerated in the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the largest building of the ancient world according to Pausanias (4.31.8). Pausanius mentions that the temple was built by Ephesus, son of the river god Caystrus, before the arrival of the Ionians. Of this structure, scarcely a trace remains.
About 650 BC Ephesus was attacked by Cimmerians who razed the city, including the temple of Artemis. A few small Cimmerian artifacts can be seen at the archaeological museum of Ephese. When the Cimmerians had been driven away, the city was ruled by a series of tyrants. After a revolt by the people, Ephesus was ruled by a council called the Kuretes. The city prospered again producing a number of important historical figures, such as the iambic poets Callinus and the satirist Hipponax, the philosopher Heraclitus, the great painter Parrhasius and later the grammarian Zenodotos, the physicians Soranus and Rufus.
About 560 BC Ephesus was conquered by the Lydians under the mighty king Croesus. Even if he rules harshly, he treated the inhabitants with respect, and even became the main contributor to the construction of the temple of Artemis. His signature has been found on the base of one of the columns of the temple (now on display in the British Museum). Croesus made the populations of the different settlements around Ephesus regroup (synoikismos) in the vicinity of the Temple of Artemis, enlarging the city.
Later in the same century, the Persian king Cyrus the Great defeated king Croesus and the Lydians. When the Persian king refused a peace offer by the Ionian cities, they rose in revolt against the Persians, but were defeated by the Persian army commander Harpagos in 547 BC. The Persians then incorporated the Greek cities of Asia Minor into the Achaemenid Empire. Those cities were then ruled by satraps.
Ephesus continued to prosper. But when taxes continued to be raised under Cambyses II and Darius, the Ephesians participated in the Ionian Revolt against Persian rule in the Battle of Ephesus (498 BC), an event which instigated the Greco-Persian wars. In 479 BC, the Ionians, together with Athens and Sparta, were able to oust the Persians from Anatolia. In 478 BC the Ionian cities entered with Athens and Sparta the Delian League against the Persians. Ephesus didn't contribute ships but only participated with financial support by offering the treasure of Apollo to the goddess Athena, protector of Athens.
During the Peloponnesian War, Ephesus was first allied to Athens but sided in a later phase, called the the Decelean War, or the Ionian War with Sparta, which also had received the support of the Persians. As a result, the rule over the kingdoms of Anatolia was ceded again to Persia.
These wars didn't affect much the daily life in Ephesus. In those times, Ephesus was surprisingly modern in their social relations. They allowed strangers to integrate. Education was much valued. Through the cult of Artemis, the city also became a bastion of women's rights. Ephesus even had its female artists. In later times Pliny mentions having seen at Ephesus a representation of the goddess Diana by Timarata, the daughter of a painter.
In 356 BC the temple of Artemis was burnt down, according to legend, by a lunatic called Herostratus. By coincidence, this was the night that Alexander the Great was born. The inhabitants of Ephesus started at once with the restoration and even planning a larger and grander temple.
When Alexander the Great defeated the Persian forces at the Battle of Granicus in 334 BC, the Greek cities of Asia Minor were liberated. The pro-Persian tyrant Syrpax and his family were stoned to death and Alexander was greeted triumphantly in Ephesus. When he saw that the temple of Artemis wasn't finished yet, he proposed to finance the temple and have his name as an inscription of the front. But the inhabitants of Ephesus refused, claiming that it was not fitting for a god to build a temple for another god. After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, Ephesus came under the rule of Lysimachus, one of Alexander's generals, in 290 BC. As the river Cayster was silting up the harbour, the resulting marshes were the cause of malaria and many deaths among the inhabitants. The people of Ephesus were forced to move to a new settlement 2 km further on, when the king flooded the old city by blocking the sewers. This settlement was called after the king's second wife Arsinoe II of Egypt. After Lysimachus had destroyed the nearby cities of Lebedos and Colophon in 292 BC, he relocated their inhabitants to the new city. The architectural layout of the city would remain unchanged for the next 500 years.
Ephesus revolted after the treacherous death of Agathocles, giving the Syrian king Seleucus I Nicator an opportunity for removing and killing Lysimachus, his last rival, at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC. After the death of Lysimachos the town took again the name of Ephesus.
Thus Ephese became part of the Seleucid Empire. After the murder on king Antiochus II Theos and his Egyptian wife, pharao Ptolemy III invaded the Seleucid Empire and the Egyptian fleet swept the coast of Asia Minor. Ephesus came under Egyptian rule between 263-197 BC.
When the Seleucid king Antiochus III the Great tried to regain the Greek cities of Asia Minor, he came in conflict with Rome. After a series of battles, he was defeated by Scipio Asiaticus at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC. As a result, Ephesus came under the rule of the Attalid king of Pergamon Eumenes II (197-133 BC). When his grandson Attalus III died without male children of his own, he left his kingdom to the Roman Republic.
Roman Ephesus
Ephesus became subject the Roman Republic. The city felt at once the Roman influence. Taxes rose considerably and the treasures of the city were systematically plundered. In 88 BC Ephesus welcomed Archelaus, a general of Mithridates the Great, king of Pontus, when he conquered Western Anatolia. This led to the Asiatic Vespers, the slaughter of 80,000 Roman citizens in Asia Minor, or any person who spoke with a Latin accent. Many had lived in Ephesus. But when they saw how badly the people of Chios had been treated by Zenobius, a general of Mithridates, they refused entry to his army. Zenobius was invited into the city to visit Philopoemen (the father of Monima, the favorite wife of Mithridates) and the overseer of Ephesus. As the people expected nothing good of him, they threw him into prison and murdered him. Mithridates took revenge and inflicted terrible punishments. However, the Greek cities were given freedom and several substantial rights. Ephesus became, for a short time, self-governing. When Mithridates was defeated in the First Mithridatic War by the Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Ephesus came back under Roman rule in 86 BC. Sulla imposed a huge indemnity, along with five years of back taxes, which left Asian cities heavily in debt for a long time to come.
When Augustus became emperor in 27 BC, he made Ephesus instead of Pergamon the capital of proconsular Asia, which covered the western part of Asia Minor. Ephesus entered an era of prosperity. It became the seat of the governor, growing into a metropolis and a major center of commerce. It was second in importance and size only to Rome.[ Ephesus has been estimated to be in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 inhabitants in the year 100 AD, making it the largest city in Roman Asia and of the day. Ephesus was at its peak during the first and second century AD.
The city was distinguished for the Temple of Artemis (Diana, who had her chief shrine there), for Library of Celsus, and for its theatre, capable of holding 25,000 spectators. This open-air theater was used initially for drama, but during later Roman times gladiatorial combats were also held on its stage, with the first archaeological evidence of a gladiator graveyard found in May 2007.[ The population of Ephesus also had several major bath complexes, built at various points while the city was under Roman rule. The city had one of the most advanced aqueduct systems in the ancient world, with multiple aqueducts of various sizes to supply different areas of the city, including 4 major aqueducts.
The city and the temple were destroyed by the Goths in 263 AD. This marked the decline of the splendour of the city.
Byzantine era (395-1071)
Ephesus remained the most important city of the Byzantine Empire (after Constantinople) in the 5th and 6th centuries. The emperor Constantine rebuilt much of the city and erected a new public bath. In 406 AD John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constinople, ordered the destruction of the Temple of Artemis. Emperor Flavius Arcadius raised the level of the street between the theatre and the harbour. The basilica of St. John was built during the reign of emperor Justinian I in the sixth century.
The town was again partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD. The importance of the city as a commercial centre declined as the harbour slowly filled with silt from the river (today, Küçük Menderes) despite repeated dredges during the city's history. (Today, the harbor is 5 km inland). The loss of its harbor caused Ephesus to lose its access to the Aegean Sea, which was important for trade. People started leaving the lowland of the city for the surrounding hills. The ruins of the temples were used as building blocks for new homes. Marble sculptures were ground to powder to make lime for plaster.
Sackings by the Arabs first in the year 654-655 by caliph Muawiyah I, and later in 700 and 716 even hastened the decline.
When the Seljuk Turks conquered it in 1071-100, it was a small village. The Byzantines resumed control in 1100 and changed the name of the town into Hagios Theologos. They kept control of the region until 1308. Crusaders, passing through, were surprised that there was only a small village, called Ayasalouk, where they had expected a bustling city with a large seaport. Even the temple of Artemis was completely forgotten by local population.
Turkish era
The town was conquered in 1304 by Sasa Bey, an army commander of the Menteþoðullari principality. Shortly afterwards, it was ceded to the Aydinoðullari principality that stationed a powerful navy in the harbour of Ayasluð (the present-day Selçuk, next to Ephesus). Ayasoluk became an important harbour, from where the navy organised raids to the surrounding regions.
The town knew again a short period of flourishing during the 14th century under these new Seljuk rulers. They added important architectural works such as the Ýsa Bey Mosque, caravansaries and Turkish bathhouses (hamam).
They were incorporated as vasals into the Ottoman Empire for the first time in 1390. The Central Asian warlord Tamerlane defeated the Ottomans in Anatolia in 1402 and the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I died in captivity. The region was restored to the Anatolian Turkish Beyliks. After a period unrest, the region was again incorporated into the Ottoman Empire by sultan Mehmed II in 1425.
Ephesus was eventually completely abandoned in the 15th century and lost her former glory. Nearby Ayasluð was renamed Selçuk in 1914.
Ephesus and Christianity
Ephesus became an important center for early Christianity from the 50s A.D. Paul used it as a base and spent there more than two years on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:8, 19:10, 20:31). He became embroiled in a dispute with artisans, whose livelihood depended on selling the statuettes of Artemis in the Temple of Artemis (Acts 19:23-41). He wrote between 53 and 57 A.D. the letter 1 Corinthians from Ephesus (possibly from the "Paul tower" close to the harbour, where he was imprisoned for a short time). Later Paul wrote to the Christian community at Ephesus, according to tradition, while he was in prison in Rome (around 62 A.D.)
The Apostle and Evangelist John lived in Asia Minor(Anatolia) in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province. After Domitian's death the Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan, and at Ephesus he died about 100 AD at a great age. Ephesus was one of the seven cities addressed in Revelation (2:1-7), indicating that the church at Ephesus was still strong. Two decades later, the church at Ephesus there was still important enough to be addressed by a letter written by Bishop Ignatius of Antioch to the Ephesians in the early 2nd century AD, that begins with, "Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fullness of God the Father, and predestinated before the beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory" (Letter to the Ephesians). The church at Ephesus had given their support for Ignatius, who was taken to Rome for execution.
The house of the Virgin Mary (Turkish: Meryem Ana) about 7 km from Selçuk, is believed to have been the last home of Mary, mother of Jesus. It is a popular place of pilgrimage which has been visited by three recent popes.
The Church of Mary close to the harbor of Ephesus was the setting for the Third Ecumenical Council in 431, which resulted in the condemnation of Nestorius. A Second Council of Ephesus was held in 449, but its controversial acts were never approved by the Catholics. It came to be called the Robber Council of Ephesus or Robber Synod of Latrocinium by its opponents.

The work of the Commission on Starkville Consolidated School District Structure has endured some public scrutiny recently, particularly criticism it hasn't accomplished enough since it began looking into how to best consolidate Starkville and Oktibbeha County school districts.
The Mississippi legislature established the commission earlier this year and ordered it to report its findings to the legislature by March. The schools are ordered to merge by July 2015. The seven-member commission has administrative and parent representatives from each district as well as a representative from the Mississippi Department of Education.

Arthur Mervyn, or, Memoirs of the Year 1793 is a novel by Charles Brockden Brown and one of his best and most popular works. Written in two parts—the first in 1798 and the second in 1800—the novel offers a vivid and dynamic picture of life in 1790s Philadelphia.

… Because doesn't every kid want to fight to the death IRL?
Lionsgate has announced that they are moving forward with plans to build a Hunger Games theme park. In a recent report to investors, executives announced that they are "deep in conversations with prospective partners on four continents to explore theme park attractions and other location-based entertainment opportunities" based on the series.
Um, okay. If the attraction includes a kissing training camp with Josh Hutcherson, then sign me up. But running away from poisonous fog or Tracker Jackers is not really my idea of a fun vacation — mostly because I like to return from my vacations alive.
Isn't this just the oddest idea for a theme park ever? Will they make visitors hunt for their own concessions? Will lines to attractions be replaced by the Reaping? The possibilities are endless, I suppose.
Although, the company is also working on a mobile game partnership and a Hunger Games traveling museum for those who want to opt out of the theme park experience. Yes, please!
Tell me, my little tributes… would you ever visit this ultra odd attraction?
