Medical literature reveals that flu vaccines have been linked to incidences of narcolepsy,
febrile convulsions, asthma and Guiliain-Barre syndrome (a fatal neurological condition and autoimmune
disorder that leads to ascending paralysis).
Some experts believe that the long-term effects of flu vaccination can also increase the
risks of autism, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. According to a Fox News poll, the majority of people in the US now
believe the flu vaccine may be deadlier than the actual virus.
Research published in the August 25, 2009; issue of the British Medical Journal reveals that more
than half of doctors and nurses in public hospitals would also refuse the vaccine due to concerns
about side effects and doubts about its efficacy. Researchers in Canada had
found an increased risk of pandemic influenza in people who had previously
been vaccinated against seasonal influenza.

Every year, governments (especially of developed countries) mount
campaigns to get as many of their citizens as possible to get their
flu shots. Generally, there are 4 categories of flu vaccines. There
is the regular flu vaccine meant for the general population; there
is another version for people older than 65 years
(this vaccine holds a higher dose); while the first two flu shots are
intramuscular injections the third kind of flu vaccine is an intradermal vaccine;
then lastly, there is the flu vaccine in form of nasal spray.
A study conducted by researchers from the US National Library
of Medicine National Institutes of Health highlighted the dangers of flu vaccines for pregnant women.
The study found that trivalent flu vaccines triggered significant inflammation in pregnant women and
can lead to preeclampsia and preterm birth.
In 2005 Australia temporarily suspended all seasonal
flu vaccinations for children under the age of five after noticing a 200 percent increase in unusual fevers and convulsions.
The 2009-2010 H1N1 swine flu vaccine wreaked uncommon havoc in many countries. Several European
countries noticed a staggering uptick in narcolepsy—a rare and devastating sleeping disorder.
Some of the ingredients in vaccines can cause long-term damage to your health.
Take the nasal spray flu vaccine which is prepared with sugar and MSG (monosodium glutamate)
which is known to cross the blood-brain barrier and can damage neurons as well as disrupt the actions
of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. Delivering it so close to the blood-brain barrier is clearly highly dangerous.
Unfortunately, data demonstrating the dangers of flu vaccination are usually never released.
Since vaccine manufacturers are immune from liabilities resulting from the damage caused
by these vaccines, there is no one to take responsibility for these dangerous and ineffective vaccines.
Dr. Tim Bilash, a board-certified
OB/GYN specializing in treating thyroid problems in pregnancy, says, "Many baby
boomers and younger generations have grown up with a quiet acceptance of the
annual flu shot as a necessary part of life without question. Flu vaccinations
in fact, are ineffective, particularly in women, and can have catastrophic effects
among high-risk groups, namely pregnant women, the young and the elderly. My
research over the past two decades has revealed that women's health issues are
vastly different than those of men because of the various fluctuations in hormone
levels that they experience during the various stages of life, namely pregnancy
and during menopause."
You will be shocked by the unmitigated evil exposed in this news program.
It is now being released publicly on the internet for the first time, after 30 years.
Whenever the CDC declares a public health emergency, that declaration allows
the Food and Drug Administration to permit emergency use authorization for drug
companies to fast track creation of experimental drugs and vaccines that do
not have to be tested as thoroughly as vaccines that go through the normal FDA
licensing process. In this case, Congress responded to the public health emergency
declaration by giving a group of drug companies one billion dollars to fast
track experimental swine flu vaccines that may include whole live, killed or
genetically engineered human and animal influenza viruses, chemicals, and potentially
reactive oil based adjuvants that manipulate the immune system to boost the
vaccine's potency.
"...The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from
animals and "we do not know if there could be an allergic reaction", says
Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a German lung specialist and the chairman
of the health committee in the German parliament and European Council. The vaccine
- as Johannes Löwer, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute,
has pointed out - can also cause worse side effects than the actual swine flu
virus. Dr. Wolfgang went on to say, "Swine flu is not very different from normal
flu. On the contrary if you look at the number of cases it is nothing compared
to a normal flu outbreak."
In addition to the cancerous cells, formaldehyde
(yes the preservative used for corpses) is included in the mix, along with thimerasol
(mercury), and an oil-based "adjuvant" know as MF-59 which contains two main
ingredients of concern- squalene and gp120. It is manufactured by the Chiron
Pharmaceutical Company. What is of concern is, immune adjuvants in a number
of studies have shown to be a cause of devastating autoimmune disorders, including
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.
Animal studies using this MF-59 adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A
study using 14 guinea pigs found that when they were injected with the special
adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly
outcome. The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines,
including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated
with adverse reactions.
Jordan McFarland, 14, was hospitalized for five days after coming down with
Guillain-Barre syndrome hours after receiving a vaccination for H1N1. Jordan
McFarland, a high school athlete from Alexandria, Va., left Inova Fairfax Hospital
for Children Tuesday night in a wheelchair nearly a week after developing severe
headaches, muscle spasms and weakness in his legs following a swine flu shot.
He will likely need the assistance of a walker for four to six weeks, plus extensive
physical therapy.
Syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP),
an autoimmune disorder affecting the
peripheral nervous system, usually triggered by an acute infectious process.
GBS is now increasingly occurring following H1N1 vaccine injections. It was
diagnosed in thousands of patients following the 1976 swine flu vaccine scare,
and it appears to be recurring here in 2009 as the swine flu vaccine makes it
into more widespread distribution.
Two weeks after his flu shot, Mr. Claman awoke with a pounding headache and
a strange feeling in his feet. The doctor was reassuring, telling the 47-year-old
businessman that the symptoms were probably related to stress. His condition
deteriorated, so he made his way to a hospital emergency room. His body was
gradually going numb. Doctors immediately recognized the tell-tale signs of
Guillain Barre syndrome, a baffling, potentially fatal condition that resembles
polio. By afternoon, Mr. Claman was completely paralyzed. He was placed in intensive
care and put on a respirator. He spent the next eight months in hospital and
now, a year after his flu shot, is just beginning to walk unassisted again.
"It's been a harrowing experience," Mr. Claman said in an interview.
The FDA has been reviewing reports of abnormal behavior and other brain effects
in more than 1,800 children who had taken the flu medicine Tamiflu. The symptoms
have included convulsions, delirium or delusions, and in Japan, five deaths
have been reported in children under 16 as a result of neurological or psychiatric
problems.There have also been nine deaths among older teens and adults, attributed
to neuropsychiatric problems or brain infections. Nausea, insomnia and nightmares
reported after taking antiviral drug for swine flu, study finds - published
in the medical journal Eurosurveillance. Two studies from the Health Protection
Agency (HPA) show a high proportion of schoolchildren reporting problems after
taking the antiviral drug.
As late as this August, the company's own Web site contained the following
statement, which was written under the direction of the FDA: "Tamiflu
has not been proven to have a positive impact on the potential consequences
(such as hospitalizations, mortality, or economic impact) of seasonal, avian,
or pandemic influenza."
Dr. Eleanora McBean explains that the
1918 Spanish Influenza
that supposedly killed 20 million was vaccine induced. (One need not forget
the dozens of vaccinations vast American populations received; shortly after;
World War 1). No facilities obtained blood samples during the epidemic to even
remotely prove that the Spanish influenza was to blame for all those deaths.;
The soldiers at Fort Dix acclaimed to have been infected with the swine influenza had been inoculated with a variety of
vaccines.; One of those vaccines was the Port Chalmers flu vaccine, supposedly
carrying antigens claimed to kill ALL influenza viral strains.; Over 500 soldiers
fell ill with influenza after inoculation.; A true testament to the failure
of the vaccine.; At the same time sixty-six were hospitalized at Ft. Knox.;
This can not possibly be a one isolated incidence when considering that all
soldiers were subject to such experimentation as they are still today.; It's
the government through CDC and the media that make the flu season with all their
hype accompanied by the repeated rant and reminder of CDC's guestimated 36,000
influenza induced death figure.; Media is powerful.; Unfortunately far too many
use it to blind unsuspecting citizens who in turn have now subjected their own
children to this medical hogwash.
Today, October 6, 2009, the Weber/Morgan Health Department began dispensing
'H1N1' "Swine Flu" nasal "flu-mist" vaccines to the general public, with the
public announcement that all county "health departments" in the State of Utah
would soon follow.; These
vaccines are said to be "free" to the public - which
is a false statement.; The manufacturer of the "vaccine" - MedImmune Inc., has
been paid handsomely for this serum by the federal government - thus the "vaccine"
is not free at all.; It has been paid for by our tax dollars.; With the federal
government, there is no such thing as a truly "free" benefit! The news media
has been blindly promoting this vaccine without mentioning the following risks:
I personally believe that providing this "live virus" spray to citizens will
actually CAUSE the feared pandemic to occur.; Based on the summer's events in
the Southern Hemisphere, the W.H.O.'s "pandemic" has disappeared.; The projected
"2nd wave" in Australia and South America did not materialize.; Therefore, there
is no further justification for "pandemic level 6" status - and thus, no need
for H1N1 live-virus vaccines to be given away "free". - Dr. Ott, PhD, ND
Those in control of the mainstream media have joined together with public
health officials to provide the pharmaceutical industry with the best swine
flu promotional campaign that money can buy. In an October 7, 2009, OpEd News
article titled, "The Centers for Disease Control: The Best Vaccination PR Firm
Taxes Can Buy," the makers of the documentaries, "Vaccine Nation," and "Autism:
Made in the USA," Richard Gale and Dr Gary Null wrote:
"If the flu season goes according to schedule, the vaccine industrial complex will
be poised to join Wall Street for record year rip-off profits. We will also likely witness
huge Pharma executive bonuses and perhaps gold-plated toilets."
"In too many ways, the mainstream media has become little more than a corporate
mouthpiece, whoring itself out to the highest bidder / advertiser," warns Mike
Adams, in the September 18, 2009, Natural News report titled:
"Ten Swine Flu Lies Told by the Mainstream Media The "distorted reporting
on the swine flu vaccine has been one of the greatest media frauds ever perpetrated,"
he says. The media has in every way contributed to the widespread ignorance
of the American people on the subject of vitamin D and
natural immune-boosting defenses that
could reduce swine flu fatalities," Adams points out. Rather than informing
readers," he says, "the MSM has made it a point to keep the people stupid, and
in doing so, the media has failed its only mission and betrayed the very audience
it claims to serve."
Mike Adams from Natural News writes: "There's a huge shift underway from drugs
designed for sick people to a whole new class of drugs manufactured for healthy
people. The new paradigm is that people need drugs before they get sick, as
a sort of "protection" against sickness. Drugs, in essence, are being positioned
as nutrients -- things the human body needs in order to be healthy. And from
the moment you're born, you're considered deficient in these drugs. That's why
babies are injected with vaccines within minutes after being born. There's a
strong belief in the medical industry that babies are born deficient in vaccines
and that such deficiencies must be "corrected" as soon as possible."
This simple but powerful shift in the marketing strategy of
Big Pharma has expanded the potential
customer based from a subset of the population (people who are sick) to the
entire world population. Now, everybody needs a vaccine for something say the
drug companies. All that's necessary for the financial success of these scheme
is to convince sick people that they need more drugs (or vaccines), and that's
easily accomplished through disease mongering campaigns (like the current fear
push over H1N1 swine flu). There's another important shift taking place alongside
the big vaccine push: A shift away from "evidence-based medicine" to a new medical
paradigm of "dogmatic belief." Medicines that treat sick people, you see, have
to be proven to work. There have to be clinical trials, and some percentage
of those sick people (only 5% or so, typically) have to show some sort of improved
response after taking the medicine. This is the so-called "gold standard" of
modern medicine. But with vaccines, no proof of efficacy is required. No placebo-controlled studies
need to be conducted at all. Vaccines can be openly marketed and prescribed
without any evidence that they actually work
The document on the WHO website states that it is
common procedure to release pandemic viruses into the population in order to
get a jump ahead of the real pandemic, so as to fast track the vaccine for when
it is needed. In Europe, some manufacturers have conducted advance studies using
a so-called "mock-up" vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active ingredient
for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations
and thus mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus.
Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz and Sherri Kane, an investigative journalist, have
released evidence in legal affidavits that leaders of a private global biotechnology
"trust" are behind the pandemic flu, including its origin and alleged prevention
via vaccinations. Their documents, being sent by attorneys to the FBI this week,
evidence industrialists are operating a crime ring within the "Partnership for
New York City" (PNYC), and are behind the pandemic's creation, media persuasions,
vaccination preparations, and health official promotions.
Dr Kalokerinos MD - "Doctors and nurses vaccinate babies
without a thought that what they are doing might be highly dangerous and abusive
yet neither they nor anyone else is willing to take responsibility if something
terrible happens. My final conclusion after forty years or more in medicine
is that the unofficial policy of the World Health Organization and the Save
the Children's Fund is one of murder and genocide."
According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and
13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals),
if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the
years studied), his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is ten times
higher than if they had one, two or no shots. I asked Dr. Fudenberg why this
was so and he said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu
shot (and most childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in
the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is that why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple?
Seven US Senators introduced a bill to protect vaccine manufacturers
from thousands of pending federal lawsuits filed by parents of vaccine-damaged
children. On the eve of an historic, billion-dollar world vaccination campaign,
a leaked transcript ignites questions of vaccine safety and research corruption.
With millions of lives at stake, and billions of dollars to lose,
will a merger of philanthropy, big business and compromised science win an epic
race between corporate agendas and medical ethics? In this world exclusive report,
byronchild exposes how the most powerful medical research bodies in the United
States compromise their vaccine safety research for vested interests, as they
assist in a global vaccine policy, while a bill looms in the background to protect it all.
Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the most quoted biologist
of our time, says that if an individual has 5 consecutive flu shots his/her
chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times greater than if they had
1, two or no shots. What it will do to babies given year after year is anyone's
guess and that is exactly what it is, a guess, an experiment for no one knows,
for there have been no tests.
Clearly no longitudinal study has been made with
babies on the effect of giving annual flu shots starting from six months of
age. With an already heavy childhood immunization schedule already in place,
and with children already carrying increasingly heavy burdens of toxins, including
mercury administered through other vaccines, it's a crap shoot gamble
on what will happen to the children under the CDC's rule with the addition
of the flu vaccine that contains thimerosal (mercury). Most pediatric flu shots
contain 12.5 mcg. of mercury.
Destruction of the food supply of the world by killing off the turkeys, ducks
and other birds used for food (because of the irrational fear of "Bird
Flu") in addition to the destruction of cows (because of the REAL threat
of Mad Cow Disease – which they are presently down-playing), and sheep
(because of the REAL threat of "Scrapie" which is Mad Sheep Disease).;
This is one of the ways they will bring about massive famines that will starve
to death millions of people. Man-made Diseases, such as
AIDS bioengineered in government and
military laboratories to cause super-infectious world-wide pandemics. The powers
that be used the exact same tactics back in 1976 when President Ford asked every
man woman and child to roll up their sleeves and get their shot of protection
against the "Swine Flu" hoax!
Can vaccines cause immune dysfunction resulting in allergies, asthma and anaphylaxis?
Most Americans Surprised, Concerned that 90 Percent of Flu Shots Contain
the Toxin Mercury. In 1999, government agencies called for the removal of Thimerosal,
the mercury-based preservative in most vaccines. Then, in 2001, the American
Academy of Pediatrics stated that, "mercury in all of its forms is toxic
to the fetus and children, and efforts should be made to reduce exposure to
the extent possible to pregnant women and children as well as the general population."
Despite these actions, 90 percent of this season's flu
vaccines still
contain Thimerosal, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
are recommending the vaccine for pregnant women and children six months and
older. These recommendations come on the heels of recent studies that reveal
new findings about the neurological effects of mercury and question the effectiveness
of flu shots. Mercury, the second most toxic element after plutonium, is estimated
to be 500 to 1,000 times more toxic than lead.
Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the most quoted biologist of our time, says that
if an individual has 5 consecutive flu shots his/her
chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times
greater than if they had 1, two or no shots. What it will do to babies given
year after year is anyone's guess and that is exactly what it is, a guess,
an experiment for no one knows, for there have been no tests. Clearly no longitudinal
study has been made with babies on the effect of giving annual flu shots starting
from six months of age. With an already heavy childhood immunization schedule
already in place, and with children already carrying increasingly heavy burdens
of toxins, including mercury administered through other vaccines, it's
a crap shoot gamble on what will happen to the children under the CDC's
rule with the addition of the flu vaccine that contains thimerosal (mercury).
Most pediatric flu shots contain 12.5 mcg. of mercury. According to EPA guidelines
for ingested (vs. injected) methylmercury; (vs. ethyl mercury) not likely to
cause harm in adults, an infant or young child would; need to weigh 275 pounds
to receive this injection for it to be considered safe.
Dr. Douglass M.D - "How do we turn the tide and get them
to close down the tide of terrorism that flows out, like terrible storm, out
of health clinics and pediatrician offices around the world. "Can you imagine
the economic and political import of discovering that immunizations are killing
thousands of babies?"
The Associated Press Oct 22, 2006 - Israeli Health Ministry halts flu vaccine
after three people die.
Israel's Health Ministry halted the administration of flu vaccines on Sunday
after three people who were inoculated died, a spokeswoman said. A fourth died
later, Israeli media reported.
I'm a former (deleted) executive with knowledge that will get me "accidentally"
killed if anybody ever discovers who I really am. So, I am lying when I tell
you my name is Steve. But everything else I tell you is true! The active ingredient
in all flu vaccines manufactured by (deleted) is mercury. No other ingredient
in any (deleted) flu vaccine has any effect on influenza in any way. Only mercury
has any effect on the flu. What mercury does is kill nerve cells. The brain
is basically nerve cells, fat and water. So is the spinal cord. So are all the
ganglia in the human body. All mercury does is kill nerve cells.
It turns out, that dead nerve cells laden with mercury and nerve cells dying
from mercury poisoning actually do protect the surrounding cells from viral
infections. Flu is a viral infection. We discovered this property of mercury
at (deleted) in about 1965 and started lacing all of our flu vaccines with mercury.
(deleted) has not only the most profitable flu vaccines, they have the most
effective. Why? Because they add mercury to their vaccines. Without mercury,
flu vaccines are less effective than one cup of herbal tea. With mercury, the
vaccine is very effective at killing nerve cells and more effective than one
cup of herbal tea in preventing the flu. In fact almost as many vaccinated people
get the flu as the normal population. But, with flu vaccines, there is a price
to pay:
Before we started adding mercury to our flu vaccines, we had very few reports
of children becoming asthmatic. I'm guessing the incidence rate was less than
30 cases per 1,000,000 vaccines. Thirty per million is less than placebo effect
and it would be very difficult to ever prove the vaccine caused the asthma.
Going to court when you were the 1 in 33,000 people vaccinated that developed
asthma, is a losing cause. You'll never prove it to any judge or jury. You won't
even get your case to a jury trial.
Immediately after we started adding mercury to the vaccines, the number of
reports claiming children were developing asthma post vaccine increased several
hundred-fold. The current odds are 13 out of every 100 children vaccinated with
anything containing mercury will report asthmatic symptoms within thirty days.
Once reported, these symptoms rarely remit. One out of eight children being
vaccinated for flu will develop asthma, asthma-like symptoms and cystic fibrosis
that remains with them for life. That's the current odds. This would make a
very good court case except for one thing. (deleted) is immune to lawsuits for
their flu vaccines thanks to the FDA. You can't sue (deleted) for any side effect
of their flu vaccine - no matter how gross their negligence. Here's a sample
of what happens because they add mercury to their flu vaccines and that's grossly
negligent and should be criminal. But it isn't.
Mercury kills nerve cells. When the nerve cells in the brain are die, the
result is attention deficit, autism, behavioral disorders, bipolar, brain; tumors
and cancer, decreased intelligence, hyperactivity and memory problems. Flu doesn't
cause any of these things. Before mercury was added to flu vaccines all of these
conditions were very rare. Autism occurred in less than one birth out of a million.
Attention deficit was unknown as was Asperger Syndrome. Behavioral, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, bipolar and hyperactivity disorders were extremely rare -- less than
one in a million, and these disorders didn't even have a name. Today one out
of three children receiving mercury-laced flu vaccines will develop one or more
of these problems within twelve months of being inoculated. The incidence for
children who are not inoculated is very rare in America and around the world.
(deleted) has known for twenty-five years or more that mercury is absolutely
and irrevocably the cause of all these disorders, syndromes and conditions.
Mercury is the cause because it kills the brain cells and other nerve cells
that keep the nervous system running smoothly. Kill some critical cells and
you create a plethora of problems medicine can't cure. You also create a culture
dependent upon you for the rest of their natural lives. (deleted) knows this
and does nothing about it but rake in the profits. (Deleted) stands for mercury
and mercury kills your brain and nervous system and that's what (deleted) does
to protect you from the flu.;
But that's only the beginning, when nerve cells die, muscles become under-nourished
and atrophy and give rise to muscular dystrophy, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia,
and myriad syndromes plaguing people who receive flu vaccines. But the best
part of this from (deleted)'s viewpoint is it takes years for these syndromes
to manifest and proving the vaccine did it is nearly, if not absolutely, impossible.
That's the bad news for all of us, because today these things all happen a hundred
or more times often than before the introduction of mercury in flu vaccines.
They also happen hundreds of times more often to adults who were vaccinated
as children than to adults who were never vaccinated. One of the benefits of
living in a third-world country is your children do not need to be vaccinated
against the flu.
WHAT DO (deleted) EMPLOYEES DO?
Of twenty-five thousand plus employees during my employment, I never heard
of one (deleted) employee who allowed themselves, their families and especially
their children to be vaccinated against the flu. They know too much and they're
not taking any chances with their families. If they are ordered to vaccinate
their children, they take them to one of the company doctors who inoculate their
children with saline solution and sign on the dotted line the batch and lot
number of the flu vaccine they used (probably by flushing it down the toilet).
Insiders protect their children.;
Here are the possibilities as I see them: a) become a (deleted) employee,
b) protect your children even if you have to move them out of the state or country,
or c) gamble with your children's chances of a normal life and allow them to
be vaccinated. In the meantime, join and support HealthFreedomUSA.org and protect
your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Join in all of their campaigns
to Save the Children and support them as best you can.
PLEASE HELP SAVE THE CHILDREN! (deleted) WON'T, YOU CAN - WHAT WILL (DELETED)
They'll spend as much money as they need to spend to identify and locate
me. They expect to eventually find and terminate me, and I expect to live. They'll
continue to lie to the FDA and the public. The public doesn't know any better
and the FDA doesn't want to know. Anything FDA employees know will place them
in jeopardy and they know that. They don't want to know anything.
(Deleted) executives will lie in court and to the legislature. Courts rely
on the preponderance of evidence and (deleted) has always been able to purchase
the preponderance of evidence for bottom dollar. The legislature relies on re-election
and (deleted) can spend enough money to make that happen even if they have to
buy each voter, one voter at a time.
A new law just passed in Massachusetts imposes fines of up to $1000 per day
and up to a 30 day jail sentence for not obeying authorities during a public
health emergency. So i you are instructed to take the swine flu vaccine in
Massachusetts and you refuse, you could be facing fines that will bankrupt you
and a prison sentence on top of that.
Law enforcement and military personnel are training to set up checkpoints in
order to catch people who refuse to take the swine flu vaccination according
to whistleblowers.
The avian flu scare is just the latest act in an ongoing world government
drama. This book is a disclosure about betrayals on many levels. Here are a
few of the truths that will be exposed: -Who wants the rural chickens dead?
Who benefits from the destruction of the family farm, here and abroad? -What
are the real reasons that domestic chickens and ducks are sick? -What is the
connection between toxic environmental conditions and the death ofmigratory
birds? -Why are human deaths associated with bird flu concentrated in Southeast
Asia? -Who benefits from the manufacture of a 'pandemic vaccine'? What's in
it? -Why vaccines are not the answer.

When I looked the other day, I was astonished that I hadn't blogged since May 26, and even that was a quick post about Memorial Day.
I've been neglecting the blog and it's not necessarily by choice, but more that I'm finding the blog is less the platform I want to use for communicating. Instead, I've fallen in love with Twitter - and there are times that I HATE this. Why? Because it's a time sinkhole.
However, I have connected with people I never would have through my blog. I have had conversations with some of my favorite published authors, discussed politics with noted journalists, talked about history with well-known WW2 historians, and met some awesome writers and history lovers.
I still like to blog every now and again, though, when the 140 character limit isn't enough and I want to take time with my thoughts. But it feels like blogging is slowly losing its relevance. I've blogged about it before, but this could just be a blip in the social media timeline. People longing for life to slow down may well return to blogging.
I certainly won't be taking down my blog or say I'm never going to post again. I will post, though it will be more when I feel the need.
But if you are on Twitter, feel free to follow me. I'm at @WW2HistoryGal

LAKELAND, FL (January 10, 2017) - On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at approximately 2:45 p.m., Lakeland Police officers responded to the area of Harden Boulevard, near Forest Park Street, in reference to a traffic crash involving a pedestrian struck by a pickup truck.
Glenn Gillenwater, age 63, of Lakeland, was struck and killed by a 1984 Ford pickup truck driven by 26-year-old Michael Duey. According to reports, Duey was traveling southbound on Harden Boulevard when his truck began to swerve, drove up onto the raised shoulder and struck Gillenwater who was walking on the sidewalk. Duey's truck continued down an embankment and struck two trees before coming to a final rest.

Hi Gents, I want to get a nice .380 pistol for target and fun shooting and possibly ccw. I haven't looked at or researched any so your input is valuable to me. Your experiences with a particular brand and model (good and bad). it's accuracy, reliability, etc are things I'm looking for.
I'm not interested in a minicompact, but something with a 3" barrel like most current compaacts.
PS: Don't ask WHY I WANT A .380! I just do. That's like asking me what do I use for a home protection weapon and I say "16" 12 GA pump shotgun" I don't have to worry about aiming....only rack, point, pull the trigger and blow the hell out of anything or anybody that's in it's way. End of conversation.:smt023
Thanks in advance,

Save the Date for 7-10!
Last Updated on Monday, 7 July 2014 04:52
Written by theglasshousetx
Monday, 7 July 2014 04:52
Happy post-Independence Day! We hope everyone enjoyed the holiday with family and friends, celebrating our many freedoms, practicing gratitude for those who pioneered the way for us, and taking some time to reflect on how Americans can continue eliminating injustice and promoting freedom.
Or, if you just drank a lot of beer and shot off fireworks, that's fine too.
Now that the 4th of July is over, we can focus more fully on this week's MUCH lesser-known, sort of made-up holiday of July 10th! As many of you know, 7-10 can be likened to 4-20…in that it's a holiday dedicated to honoring a substance still illegal in many states. The difference, other than origin and date, is that 4-20 celebrates all things cannabis, and 7-10 focuses specifically on oils (hence the date 7-10, which is OIL backwards).
We think of 7-10 as 4-20 on crack (not literally!) because of the high concentration of THC in oils as opposed to bud. In recent years, dabbing has become an especially popular form of partaking in oils, and we're sure tokers are happy to have any excuse to celebrate and experience the beauty of the dab…since one hit will go straight to the dome. High Times likes to call July 10th "Dab Day" for that reason.
Another reason to celebrate 7-10? It reminds us of the healing power of cannabis oil for children suffering from Crohn's disease, epilepsy, and a number of other conditions.
You can bet we'll have some things planned for the holiday, so YOU should plan to stop by one of our THREE locations this Thursday for a great time!

Non-Refundable Registration Deposit: $300/person
Tuition: $575/person. $475/person with Post & Beam Class
Balance due on first day of class.
For 30 years, we have been designing with and installing Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). In the beginning we were using them exclusively to enclose our timber frames. Appreciating their unique structural benefits, we started incorporating the panels into floor systems and eventually framed entire buildings out of SIPs. We have learned on the job and now we will share our experience as well as the most up-to-date installation techniques. In this one day, hands-on seminar students will learn to spec and order panels, produce the most efficient panel layout, cut panels and prep them for assembly, cut openings for windows and doors, run wiring in panels, create air-tight joints between panels, install buck boards and learn the proper use of big reds, foam guns, splines, foam scoops, meat hooks, paddle routers, and chain saws in panel construction.
Students will become familiar with the essential benefits and potential pitfalls of working with panels. Over the years, we have worked with several major manufacturers and will justify our conclusion that R-Control panels are the best on the market. Gain familiarity with this innovative building material, its vocabulary, equipment, and fasteners so you can spec it or install it yourself on your next house.
Class will start at 8:30am and run to 5pm, with a one-hour lunch break.
The non-refundable registration fee holds a place in class. The balance of tuition is due the first day of class. Once you register, we send you a welcome letter along with our housing list so you can make appropriate arrangements for your stay.
Non-Refundable Registration Deposit:$300 To be deducted from tuition - balance due the first day of class. This Registration fee can be transferred once at no charge. A second request for transfer will incur a $100 transfer fee and a third request for transfer will result in the loss of deposit.

text: Show Hide image Politics 25 August 2011 Joey Barton, the philosopher footballer Ahh, Twitter - a most welcome addition to football's multimedia mix, thanks in no small part to @joe Sign up for our weekly email * The woman at the other end of the ESPN upgrade line sounded genuinely pleased to get the call. The muzak- and promotions-suffused wait suggested that I wasn't alone among football addicts paying for an eve-of-season fix and, therefore, that the voice that would finally greet me would be weary. Yet it was eager, perhaps a little too eager. "The first three months are free . . . there's no contract . . . You can cancel before the promotional period is up." I was even given the specific date on which I should terminate my contract so as not to incur a cost, and got the distinct impression that I should mark 11 October firmly in my diary, and underline it twice. Good customer relations, but arguably not the best advert for a channel that boasts "23 Premier League games, 25 FA Cup matches . . . 30 Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League matches, 27 Uefa Europa League matches, multiple weekly German Bundesliga matches". Who would want to cancel? Not to worry, ESPN. If the delights of long Thursday nights spent watching the interminable Europa League don't get me, inertia will - I'm there for the season. Ropey lid As ever, the 2011/2012 season will be a meeting of the old and the new. For Manchester United fans, that means the novelty of Wayne Rooney's hairline, but also the reality of Rio Ferdinand's dodgy old hamstrings, for which a transplant operation would seem elusive. For Chelsea, it is a new Portuguese in charge but the same old whinge about penalties not given. For Arsenal fans, it is the same sub-Barcelona tiki-taka, but a tricky winger-cum-striker who's either the new Thierry Henry or the new Glenn Helder. For ESPN, familiarity comes in the shape of the presenter Ray "Stubbsy" Stubbs, a one-time Match of the Day understudy to Gary Lineker, and Kevin Keegan, who has been part of the punditry scene since the 1970s, when he would appear alongside Elton John (yes, really) on Christmas specials for London Weekend's The Big Match. The new? We're not talking player-cam or similar Sky Sports innovations. Instead, ESPN has decided to send its pitchside reporter Rebecca Lowe to the tunnel - with players and match officials behind her - to deliver a piece to camera minutes before kick-off. Lowe signs off by name-checking the referee and nods in his direction. Taking his cue, the ref leads the teams out. Entirely pointless, but when you've paid millions for broadcast rights you can do that kind of thing. Meanwhile, over on the BBC, Match of the Day showcases the same old pundits and the same old theme tune (now 41 years old) but with a shiny new opening montage (so good that the Telegraph's chief football writer, Henry Winter, was moved to remark on Twitter: "Worth the licence fee alone"). Ahh, Twitter - a most welcome addition to football's multimedia mix, thanks in no small part to @joey7barton, aka the Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton. That Barton has anger issues is well known to TV and CCTV viewers alike. But he can also be smart and funny and fancies himself as a philosopher. Twitter allows him to express all the parts of his (complex) personality. Follow him, and you'll get words from the wise (mainly Nietzsche and Morrissey, in truth), rows with journalists and regular banter with his sporting mates. It was thanks to Twitter that I learned Barton's haircut was modelled not on a German dictator of the 1930s (as some commentators have dared to suggest), but on the lead character from Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, played by Robert De Niro. When @swannyg66 (the England spin bowler Graeme Swann) suggested that Newcastle's number 7 had a "ropey lid", Barton tweeted back: "Travis Bickle its known as Swanny." In the interests of factual accuracy, I headed straight for Google Images. De Niro's ropey lid hardly matches Barton's 2011 barnet, but I haven't had the time to share that news with @joey7barton.

Kim Jong Un 're-elected' as N. Korea leader: state media
By Chan Kyong Park, AFP Thursday, April 10, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
SEOUL--Kim Jong Un was Wednesday "re-elected" as North Korea's leader, state media said, as parliament met in a session closely watched for power shifts in the secretive regime following the shock execution of his once-powerful uncle.
The new parliament is expected to endorse personnel changes that observers say are likely to affect a number of officials linked to his "traitor" uncle Jang Song Thaek, once the North's unofficial number two and Kim's political mentor.
Kim was reaffirmed as First Chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission (NDC) by the new parliament, in a show of "absolute support and trust of all service personnel and people in him," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
The rubber-stamp assembly — the first under the leadership of Kim who took over from his father in December 2011 — gathered after North Koreans last month cast ballots in pre-determined elections where all candidates were unopposed.
Upon his re-election, "all the deputies and participants in the session broke into stormy cheers of 'hurrah!' extending the highest glory and warmest congratulations to him," KCNA said.
Kim also serves as first secretary of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, but his re-election as head of the top military body confers upon him ultimate power in the heavily militarized state.
On Tuesday, top party leaders met to decide on personnel changes at the head of the regime in the aftermath of the execution of Jang, who was purged last December after being accused of crimes including treason.
The session of the parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, is being closely watched for glimpses into power shifts within the reclusive regime.
Kim led Tuesday's meeting of the ruling party's high-level political bureau, which discussed "reinforcing" the party's organization in order to boost its "leadership role and function," KCNA said, indicating personnel changes.
Power Shuffle
Wednesday's opening parliamentary session comes after "elections" last month in which single candidates — approved by the political elite — stood uncontested. Kim notably managed a perfect turnout in his own constituency.
Analysts say the changes may affect the powerful NDC chaired by Kim, in which Jang served as vice chairman.
Several other elderly military leaders — such as defense minister Jang Jong Nam and Ri Yong Gil, chief of the military's general staff — are seen as likely to take seats at the NDC, replacing Jang and his suspected associate, former police chief Ri Myong Su.
North Korea's leaders are also believed to have discussed plans for the future of the party's key administration department, which was headed by Jang.
Through the department, Jang controlled not only the Stalinist state's police and justice system but also went beyond his remit, intervening in economic and military affairs, Professor Yang Moo-jin of the University of North Korean Studies said.
The parliament meets only once or twice a year, mostly for day-long sessions to rubber-stamp budgets or other decisions made by the ruling Korean Workers Party.
The last session in April 2013 adopted a special order formalizing North Korea's position as a nuclear-armed state — a status that both South Korea and the United States have vowed not to recognize.

Sportsmen (and women) like Daniel give us all something to feel good about, and as a result, are able to make that elusive but vital connection between - in this instance - driver and fan. Not necessarily a fan of the individual, but a fan of the SPORT. Listening to him speak of his joy of racing, and the pure privilege of being an F1 driver suddenly brings the sport much closer. It doesn't feel so remote and distant like when other drivers or F1 pundits speak about racing. I really hope this guy has a long and successful career - he's old school talent combined with a healthy dose of fun, excitement and wonder. Reply Report abuse 32 agree 3 disagree

Definition of diktat
diktat was our Word of the Day on 05/30/2014. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Examples of diktat in a Sentence
The company president issued a diktat that employees may not wear jeans to work.
a democratic government has to be something wanted by that nation's citizens and not something created by a foreign power's diktat
Did You Know?
In diktat you might recognize the English word dictate. Both words derive from Latin dictare ("to assert" or "to dictate"), a form of dicere ("to say"). Diktat passed through German where it meant "something dictated." Dictate can mean both "to speak words aloud to be transcribed" and "to issue a command or injunction," the sense of the word that gave us dictator. Germans, beginning with Prince Wilhelm, used diktat in a negative way to refer to the Treaty of Versailles, the document ending World War I. Today diktat can be used as a critical term for even minor regulations felt to be unfair or authoritarian.
Origin and Etymology of diktat
German, literally, something dictated, from New Latin dictatum, from Latin, neuter of dictatus, past participle of dictare to dictate

And just like that, we have our next President (well, we already had him, but you know what we mean). So, thinking of a trip to Washington DC for the Inauguration? To help you make a reservation at a President-approved restaurant, go behind the scenes with these DC area owners and chefs.
Swarms of secret service agents, food tasters, and now, mass tweeting, precede the first bite taken by a US President when dining away from the White House.
Before social media, with little fanfare, Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy regularly dined at Positano's in Bethesda, Maryland. George H. W. Bush relished Chinese food and frequently took dignitaries to Peking Gourmet Inn in Northern Virginia. President Bush and wife Laura favored Tex-Mex cuisine, dining at Cactus Cantina in Cleveland Park. Contrary to his reputation as a fast-food lover, Bill Clinton had eclectic taste; he and Hillary were regulars at Bombay Club, an upscale Indian restaurant near the White House.
Local restaurateurs protect Presidential privacy by not sharing specifics on the dishes they order, but they do rave about "a spike in business" after a Presidential visit.
Ashok Bajaj, owner of DC-based Bombay Club, recalls the first time President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton came in: "President Clinton spent thirty minutes shaking hands before he sat down to eat. They said they liked chicken, so we brought out five different kinds. It felt like a movie. There were 30 to 40 secret service agents posted in the kitchen, the dining room, and outside." The Clintons returned ten times. Customers still ask Bajaj where they sat and what they ordered.
Previous Presidents have stepped out on the town, but none have embraced the Capital's food culture as enthusiastically as the Obamas'. Some of their recent picks have included Oyamel (pictured), Rasika, Black Salt, Blue Duck Tavern, Shake Shack, and We, The Pizza.
Ellen Gray and her husband Todd Gray own Equinox, a restaurant just steps from the White House. The Gray's have fed every President since Bush I. "The Obamas' agenda is food-centered," says Gray, "there is no greater ad for the food industry." The restaurateur notes higher security measures were put in place since 9/11. "The secret service watches the food preparation and tastes everything before it's served."
President Obama has eaten in dozens of restaurants around the DC Area. Before his swearing-in ceremony in January 2009, secret service agents arrived at Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street. Owner Nizam Ali tells this story: "An agent walked to the counter, pointed at the election button the server was wearing and said, 'he's coming in.'"
The Obama Administration hosted a lottery to win dinner with the President. The three winners joined President Obama at Mintwood Place in Adams Morgan. Owner Saied Azali describes intense preparation and security, including a tent installed around the restaurant to block bystanders from seeing inside while the event was filmed. Later, President Obama posed for photos with patrons and staff.
Azali notes that the first couple was affectionate that night—"They are young in soul," he says. Azali recalls their interaction: "President Obama asked his wife if he was hip enough. Mrs. Obama answered, 'You're the hippest.'"
Some first-hand reports on Presidential dining:
1. They pay for their food with their own money; no tax dollars cover their personal dining expenses.
2. Generally, Democrats try different cuisines, while Republicans prefer steakhouses.
3. The Presidents have all been generous tippers.
4. They select restaurants privately owned and operated.
5. Some give advanced notice, while others arrive with less than a one-hour warning.Photo credits: President Barack Obama at Ben's Chili Bowl, courtesy of Ben's Chili Bowl; Bombay Club courtesy of Bombay Club; Oyamel courtesy of Oyamel; Mintwood Place courtesy of Mintwood Place

I recently had a breast augmentation and would highly reccommend it,if that person has been thinking about it. I waited 20 years to have it done and yes, the first 3 days where very uncomfortable but getting past those days and having a wonderful surgeon and a very helpful husband made it wonderful.
Yes, these days spending that kind of money of something for myself made me feel a little quilty but I look at it as a investment in my self esteem and the fact that having breasts after how many years of not have made it worth it. Im very happy.

It's hard not to compare Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based metalcore quintet Texas in July with fellow Lancaster quintet August Burns Red: In fact, One Reality often sounds like an imitation of ABR, or any other like-minded metalcore act, for that matter. Lengthy breakdowns, noodly riffs, and a mix of spoken and roared vocals fail to break from the subgenre's mold, but Texas in July do manage to pummel out some catchy tunes that ABR fans should enjoy on this, their second full-length album, which is certainly more mature and more technically challenging than their debut.
It's hard not to cut the band some slack considering how young the members are, ranging in age from just 18 to 21. As such, tracks like "Dying World" and "1000 Lies" are definitely impressive and capture the bandmates at their best, playing virtuosic sections that would stump players with years of experience over them. Most tracks, though, sound more like "Our Freedom," which mixes the aforementioned unoriginal chugga-chugga mosh parts with uninspired lyrics and lackluster riffs, and proves emblematic of the band's unfortunate reliance on subgenre clichés. While One Reality may mark a step forward for Texas in July, displaying some brief moments of heavy brilliance, the album simply doesn't stand out from the myriad of other metalcore albums being released every week.

2006 X5 HID low beam not working
Hi THere,
Hopefully there is someone here that can help me.
I recently installed non-OEM HID bulbs. I went for the 6000's rather than the 4300K.
Worked fine until a week ago the little green light next to the switch started to blink.
I kept driving and now the driver side bulb won't come on, but the little green light stopped blinking. So today I installed the original good bulb that I have saved. Still didn't come on. So I am thinking: Ballast etc. However here is the kicker: when I pull the left stalk on the steering wheel to make the light come on temporarily like they are supposed to, both lights come on every time.
I did go through a high pressure water car wash right before the green light started to come on.
Any ideas?
Needs to be hooked up to check codes. A blinking green light indicates a problem with the adaptive lighting. Seems like you need a new light module especially since they are lighting for 40 seconds as pathway lighting. That eliminates bulb ballast igniter. These are all options though as codes need to be read for better analysis. Find an independent mechanic which specializes in BMW.
Ok, so I got it working again.
I disconnected the battery for about 30 min, cause I figured that the computer needed to be reset. Now everything is working including the adaptive system. I figure that moisture started this problem. The lower screws are stripped on the cover. Lets see if it holds up.
Thanks for the reply.
My low beam bulb burnt too. I know it's D2S, but don't know the power is 35w or 55w? when I buy online there are 4 options which one match the 2002 x5 e53?
1. Signature Series (35w)
2. Power Series (55w)
3. Stealth Series (Slim)
4. Volt Canbus Series (Premium)
Thanks. got it.

Variations in solar erythemal ultraviolet occupational exposure due to daylight saving time in Australia
Parisi, Alfio V., Kimlin, Michael G., & Mainstone, John S. (1999) Variations in solar erythemal ultraviolet occupational exposure due to daylight saving time in Australia. The Journal of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society, 16(3), pp. 13-20.
This paper presents the variations in the solar erythemal ultraviolet (UV) exposure during work hours due to daylight saving time in Australia. The differences in the exposures to workers on AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) are dependent on the meal break times and the morning and afternoon tea break times. There were both increases and decreases in the erythemal UV exposures to the workers. For the shoulder of workers outside between 07:00 and 17:00 who take a meal break out of the sun, the largest decrease provided by switching to AEDT was 118 MED (minimum erythemal dose) over the five month period for the 12:30 to 13:30 AEST break time. In comparison, the maximum increase for the shoulder was 29 MED for the 11:00 to 12:00 AEDT break time. For indoor workers who spend a meal break outdoors, the maximum increase was by 49 MED over the five months on a horizontal plane for the 12:30 to 13:30 AEST break by converting to AEDT. In comparison, for the 11:00 to 12:00 AEST meal break time, the erythemal exposure was decreased by 58 MED by converting to AEDT. The results are also applicable to locations that are west of the coastal cities where the sunrise and sunset times are later.

An investigation into the self-reported effectiveness of a distance-education drink driving rehabilitation program for a group of drink drivers
Freeman, James E., Schonfeld, Cynthia C., & Edmonston, Colin J. (2006) An investigation into the self-reported effectiveness of a distance-education drink driving rehabilitation program for a group of drink drivers. The Journal of Australasian College of Road Safety, 17(1), pp. 32-37.
|PDF (114kB)
This paper reports on the examination of a group of convicted drink drivers' self-reported appraisals regarding the effectiveness of a court-ordered distance education drink driving rehabilitation program (N = 51). The analysis indicated that participants were satisfied with the implementation and content of the program, and reported program completion had a positive effect on improving their knowledge and skills to avoid drink driving. Despite this, approximately 25% of participants reported it likely they would drink and drive in the future, with such intentions being associated with attitudes and beliefs about drink driving rather than with the appraisal of program effectiveness. The findings have implications for the implementation of distance education rehabilitation programs to remote communities and the development of effective countermeasures that reduce the prevalence of drink driving.

You may notice that the list above doesn't quite agree with "Top 40" or other lists you've seen; that's because it takes more facts into consideration, along with a few intangibles. You may notice that the Ames Brothers' Sentimental Me scores higher on this list than Rag Mop -- yet the latter scored much higher on the Top 40 charts at the time. Time has been good to Sentimental Me, but for some reason Rag Mop didn't have sustained airplay over the decades since 1950. As trends change, as old standards are slotted into new movie soundtracks, this list can and will change with those trends. Think of this more as a "lasting popularity and importance" list than a Top 40 type chart.
The absence of Tennessee Waltz is bound to create some confusion on this chart, as most sources list it as a 1950 song. As a late release, its greatest sales and airplay happened during 1951, so we address Patti's big song on the 1951 page. (No pun intended)
1950 was certainly the year of the brother and sister acts. The Mills Brothers put four on this list, the Ames Brothers three, the Andrews Sisters two. Add in the Fontaine Sisters -- who appeared on three of Perry Como's four big hits in 1950 -- and the brother/sister groups have a dozen of the top 40. Argument could be made for some other minor 1950 songs by the Brothers Ames and Mills, a couple of which have had nice staying power on greatest hits collections through the years.
You might notice a couple songs on this list with more than one version: Sentimental Me and Nevertheless -- from the Ames Brothers and Mills Brothers, respectively. Quite a few of the songs listed, in fact, had "competing" versions that scored on the charts.
The top song of the year of course was Good Night Irene, which had competing versions all around. The Weavers recorded it on May 26, and it was pressed on Decca records and on the charts by the end of June. It spent 25 weeks on the Billboard chart, peaking at #1 and becoming one of the all-time monsters among pop standards. Whenever a song took off, competing record companies rushed to put copies on the shelves. Columbia Records tapped Frank Sinatra, who took a version to #12 on the charts. RCA had Dennis Day, who reached #22; Capitol put out a version by Jo Stafford which hit #26. Decca enjoyed so much success with the song that it cranked out yet another version, tailored specifically to the country & western market. The combo of Ernest Tubb and Red Foley reached #1 on the country charts for Decca. Foley of course had his own hit with Chattanoogie Shoeshine Boy, a rare country crossover that blasted to the top of the pop charts.

The Weavers with a vintage performance of Goodnight Irene. The video mistakenly places the song in 1949; be assured it was 1950. Please note, sometimes you have to double-click the little arrow to get these things to work. And if Nevertheless is still playing, you'll have to click the stop button on the little player below left.
Top Pop Hits of 1950, continued from column at left
As noted earlier in this article, songs will move up and down on this chart as the years go by. One such song to note is Eileen Barton's If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd Have Baked A Cake. This fun little number was known to young and old alike well into the 1970s, but has since tailed off in popularity. The two country crossovers on the chart have fared much better. The aforementioned Chattanoogie Shoeshine Boy has enjoyed a strong resurgence over the years; it would've easily been placed down in the 20s or 30s back when Baked A Cake was still widely sung. The other country crossover, I'm Moving On has been played into standard-hood if you will -- Hank Snow's indefatigable Opry act kept that tune in the public eye for almost half a century. But Snow didn't exactly force it on the public; fans demanded the song at every show he did. It was number one for almost six months in 1950, which is why it ranks higher than some of the pop standards on the pop standards list. (Try and figure that one out).
Two songs stand out on this list for later re-recordings that became bigger hits than the original. The most obvious is Al Jolson's Are You Lonesome Tonight?, which became a number one single for Elvis Presley. The other is Frankie Laine's Dream a Little Dream of Me. Although recorded by a number of artists before and since, Laine's was the first to make any real impact on the charts. Doris Day was the first to sing it at a slow tempo, scoring a minor hit in 1957. In 1968 the little tune soared to new heights with a rendition by Cass Elliott. Mama Cass' version hit number one and sold over 7,000,000 copies.
The Mills Brothers recording of Daddy's Little Girl was the top song for the father/bride dance at wedding parties for over 30 years. Although other songs have become more in vogue, it is still something of a wedding standard after more than a half century.
A Final Comment. 1950 marked the swan song for the "post-war" sound. A look ahead to 1950 does reveal any huge differences, but they're there. Vocal stars like Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Bing Crosby, Perry Como and the Andrews Sisters would give way to Tony Bennett, Johnnie Ray, and Eddie Fisher. Sinatra and Crosby fell more and more into movie work to maintain their stardom, while Dinah moved stepped into our living rooms with The Dinah Shore Show. The Andrews Sisters lingered a bit, but were quickly becoming a nostalgia act. The only one to rebound quickly back to the top was Como, who embraced a new, uptempo sound within a couple years. Sinatra's hits would return in the late 1950s. Orchestras and swing groups like Guy Lombardo and Sammy Kaye would never again enjoy such stellar chart success. The fabulous fifties had arrived.
|Sentimental Me, Rag Mop, You-You-You and of course, Naughty Lady of Shady Lane This is an outstanding Ames Brothers CD, some 28 songs, for a great value.
This link goes to Amazon.com, where they often have "used" CDs for a fraction of the price of new, fully guaranteed, so you can't really go wrong. Amazon has a terrific return policy, and prices are generally low enough that it's still lower than a store price, even with the shipping costs added.
|For the past 30 years Les Paul has assumed his rightful place as the father of modern guitar music. He is revered and sought out for guest appearances, and contemporary guitar aces are duly awestruck in his presence. The only downside to all this is that a string of great hits - a half century old - is seldom mentioned. In Les Paul & Mary Ford's music you can hear the subtle pop sound of the early 50s, a country twang, jazz guitar, and licks that would set the tone for modern rock and roll. Do we need to mention Mary Ford's crystal-clear voice and perfect timing...

Today, Facebook announced a new road map for its social advertising solutions. Over the coming months, Facebook will evolve its ad offerings to:
Focus on business objectives. "Do Facebook advertising" is not a business object unto itself. Social advertising broadly, and Facebook advertising specifically, is just one piece of a broader mix of options to reach new audiences. Facebook plans to help marketers align their spending to their business objectives by offering solutions specifically for brand marketers, online retailers, and other types of advertisers.
Make social ads more social. Facebook's data shows that ads on its site work better when they contain a social component (e.g., 'your friend Nate likes this brand') — so soon, all Facebook ads will contain social elements by default. This is part of a larger trend to make social advertising more personal than traditional display advertising.
Simplify its advertising options. As Fidji Simo, Facebook Ads Product Manager, said today, "it should be simpler." Today, Facebook offers a veritable Chinese menu of ad units that frankly confuse most marketers. To simplify ad buying, Facebook plans to slash its existing number of ad units in half to create a simpler ad-buying experience.

I had injuries on my ankles and wrists and head, and I was bleeding from my nose.
[At the police station] the police handcuffed me on my legs and arms. They raised me up on an iron rod, hung me and began to torture me.
They hit me with a baton and pressed the handcuff into my wrists. It felt as if my hands would fall off.
There were about five policemen, including the divisional police officer. He didn't beat me but he shook the handcuffs on me very hard.
He said, 'You must tell us you are the one who took the properties.' I felt my life was in danger so I said I was the one who took them.
Few strokes
The investigating police officer (IPO) said they would take me to the Sharia court at Jega and that if the judge asks me, I should explain exactly what I told the IPO in my statement so that the judge would sympathise and release me with just a few strokes.
[The judge] asked me if I stole the properties. I said yes. He asked if I was a Muslim. I said yes. He said: 'The Qur'an says if any Muslim steals, his hand should be cut off.'
He didn't ask me if I wanted a lawyer. The first hearing in court lasted only 30 minutes.
I didn't know the law
After the first trial, I appealed [in 2002]. One of my uncles found a lawyer for me.
While I was in prison, some inmates found the place in the Qur'an where it says a forced confession can be withdrawn. I gave it to my lawyer but he rejected it.
The judge didn't allow me to talk. He said the court case had ended because the lawyer couldn't produce the verses and the court of appeal accepted the judgment of the first court.
The judge said: 'We can't cut your hand until the governor signs, so they will take you back to prison.' He said: ' If you are not satisfied, you can appeal to the court in Kaduna.'
I haven't appealed because I don't have any more money. My uncle has no money left. I don't have a lawyer anymore.
A further appeal has been filed on Mr Kakale's behalf to the Federal Court of Appeal in Kaduna. But in July 2004, no date had been set for the hearing and Mr Kakale was unaware of the development until contacted by Human Rights Watch.

|I spend most of my time talking with our users about the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. While I believe the appliance is somewhat of a hybrid among the Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service layers of the cloud, it is definitely closer to IaaS than PaaS. Users recognize that, and they can identify the capabilities of WebSphere CloudBurst that correlate with IaaS cloud functionality.
|That said, I often get questions regarding IBM and work in the PaaS arena. These include questions like, 'Is IBM planning to do anything with PaaS?', 'What is your take on PaaS?', 'What kind of applications do you plan on targeting with your PaaS offering?', and more.
|Well, rest assured that IBM is definitely embracing the PaaS movement. Instead of trying to answer these questions in this post though, I want to make you aware of a recent InfoQ interview with IBM WebSphere CTO, Jerry Cuomo. In the interview, Jerry answers the questions above and much more. Jerry talks about IBM's plans for PaaS, what such a platform might look like, and how he sees IBM competing against some of the cloud players in this space.
|The interview runs about a half hour, but there is a very nice table of contents that allows you to navigate to specific question/answer segments with Jerry. If you are interested in PaaS, and specifically in IBM's intention in this space, I encourage you to take a look at the interview. Let me know what you think!

Citation: Moulana, M., Evenhuis, J., Kountikov, E.I., Wilson, M., Bengten, E., Miller, N.W., Mcconnell, T. 2008. Characterization of anti-channel catfish MHC class II monoclonal antibodies. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology. 126:120-130. Interpretive Summary: The lack of viable tools or reagents is a major obstacle and area of interest for defining fish immune function. In an effort to resolve this problem four antibodies specific for the major histocompatibility complex class II beta (MHCIIb) molecule of the channel catfish were tested against several immune related cell lines and tissues. These antibodies were also compared to previously characterized catfish specific antibodies, by a fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS), for cell surface staining on the peripheral blood leukocytes (white blood cells) and kidney cells of the channel catfish. These four antibodies showed that a high amount of MHCIIb was expressed on the surface of B cells (antibody producing cells). This finding corroborate the previous finding that fish B cells are important cells in the engulfing and presentation of pathogen molecules to induce a proper immune response. Also, these antibodies were able to recognize and bind to the surface of a variety of white blood cell types suggesting that the MHCIIb is an important molecule in self versus non-self recognition. This paper illustrates the importance of these antibodies as useful tools for study of the immune system in the channel catfish.
Technical Abstract: This study characterizes four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) developed against the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II beta chain of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Immunoprecipitations using catfish clonal B cells revealed that each of these mAbs immunoselected proteins of approximately 32 and 36 kD, which are of the appropriate sizes for MHC class II a and b chains, respectively. Cell distribution studies using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) combined with RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that MHC class II beta is expressed at a high density on catfish B and T clonal cell lines, on alloantigen stimulated leukocytes, and on lipopolysaccharide-induced B-cell blasts. The finding that B cells expressed high levels of MHC class II indicate that catfish B cells can act as antigen presenting cells and may be related to the recent finding that teleost B cells are potent and proficient phagocytic cells. Collectively, these results demonstrate the potential importance of these antibodies as reagents in future studies dealing with the functional role of MHC class II molecules in immune recognition of self from non-self.
