Girrafe Dagmar and her new offspring
Mum Ema Elsa and her new black rhino calf

CHESTER Zoo is celebrating two new arrivals in just a matter of days.
Delighted keepers and staff have welcomed a new baby Rothschild giraffe and a baby black rhino – both critically endagered species – to the zoo in a matter of days.
The giraffe, which already stands 5ft 6in tall, was born to mum Dagmar following a 14-and-a-half month pregnancy on Monday, October 1, while nine-year old black rhino, Ema Elsa, gave birth to her as yet unnamed calf on Wednesday, October 3.
Tim Rowlands, curator of mammals at the Upton zoo, said: "Dagmar is a first-time mum but you'd never guess it. She has been doing brilliantly so far. She seems to be taking motherhood all in her, rather long, stride.
"The baby is strong and tall and she was on her feet really quickly and suckling from mum not long after."
With only 670 Rothschild giraffes left in the wild the zoo matched Dagmar up with a bull giraffe, Thorn, using a similar format to a digital dating services.
The database contains information on gender, age, height and weight, as well as details of an animal's personality.
Lizzie Bowen, senior giraffe keeper, said: "Dagmar was described as being rather playful and pretty and she has certainly lived up to that. She seemed to turn Thorn's head pretty much straight away and this week we've seen the result with the birth of a beautiful, pure baby Rothschild giraffe."
While the black rhino calf is only a matter of days old, it already plays a vital role in helping to sustain the world's black rhino population which has been ravaged by poachers, with only 700 Eastern black rhinos left in the wild.
Keeper Helen Massey said: "Black rhino face a very real threat of extinction and so every birth is vital to ensure their survival.
"The zoo puts a heck of a lot of time, money and effort into trying to protect the species in the wild and we support a number of sanctuaries across Africa. However, as the demand for rhino horn intensifies, poaching is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.
"Our new arrival is only taking small steps at the moment, but eventually it will have a bigger role to play as part of a co-ordinated breeding programme."

Pietersen has been among England's most conspicuous failures on their tour of Australia, repeatedly getting himself out because of poor shot selection.
Former England opener Boycott places the blame in part on the England management, including coach Andy Flower, for not curbing his more flamboyant on-field excesses sooner.
But he now believes the negative effect on England's less experienced players means they can no longer afford to have him in the team.
He told the Daily Telegraph: "How do you tell inexperienced players such as Carberry and Root that you have to sell your wicket dearly and work through difficult periods in a match, but then Pietersen plays like he does? He has given his wicket away four times out of six. Each time they set a trap for him and he falls for it. He is a mug and the Aussies are laughing at him. They think he is a sucker.
"Senior players should always give a lead to the juniors, but with Pietersen it is all about self. He is going to do whatever he wants, play the way he feels irrespective of the state of the match or what is best for England.
"I do not agree that you have to let him play the way he wants. When the best player in the team makes stupid mistakes just think what that does to the morale of the rest of the players. KP is in his own world."
He continued: "It is also a failure of management as much as KP's fault. Andy Flower has allowed him to play any way he wants because he can win matches.
"Every mother knows that no matter how much she loves her child she has to set boundaries. The child has to know if you cross the boundary some privileges will be taken away until you grasp right and wrong.
"Andy should have told him long ago it is not on. But obviously he has let him do what he wants, so he keeps making the same silly mistakes. I actually think KP is too long in the tooth to change now...If I was Andy Flower I would be saying either he goes or I go."

My Day with the King
"I have one of those in my palace," said the King, as we walked through the Skirball, pointing to an ancient artifact. This was certainly no ordinary day at the office.
I recently began working at the Jewish Federation for the Board of Rabbis. Last week, I received an email from a local doctor that a Nigerian Hebrew King Eze Chukwuemeka Eri will be visiting the LA area and would like to meet Jewish leaders and visit Jewish sites. The email offered a link to his website. I invited the Board of Rabbis executive committee to join me and the King for lunch at the Skirball.
At the entrance of the Skirball, I waited nervously, unsure what to expect. ...

The Portugal captain spoke exclusively to Eurosport partner QQ Sports ahead of the quarter-final against the quarter-final against Czech Republic.
Congratulations on beating Netherlands and reaching the quarter-finals - what did you think of the game?
We played a perfect game against strong opponents. Whenever we lost the ball we did not give up, and we fought hard. That gives us confidence going into the last eight.
Was the match against Germany your hardest in Group B?
For me, the first game was the hardest. Although we lost, we responded well, winning the next two. It will also be difficult against Czech Republic but we have a chance to win.
You scored crucial goals against Netherlands, but why did you not score in the first two games?
Football is always full of surprises, and that it what makes it great. In the first two matches I tried my utmost but could not score. But I think the most important thing is to trust yourself and your team. Despite not scoring in the first two matches, I scored in the most crucial game, which give me greater confidence in myself and our team.
What will the game against the Czech Republic be like?
It will be a tough game. Czech Republic were in the same situation as us, losing the first game before coming into form. It's a 50-50 game, but our expectations are high and we hope to get off to a great start.
Everybody says Portugal are relying on you - how do you see it?
No, it is not like that. When I did not score, the others were able to get the goals. The most important thing is our team as a whole. Nobody is special, and everyone will give their best for the team.
As captain, how to you help your team-mates?
I just do everything I can to make their lives easier, and try to resolve any problems. The most important thing is communication, but we are all friends so it is very smooth. The captaincy is just a personal identity - the key is to have a good relationship with everyone.
What is the difference between club and international football?
They are completely different environments. In the national team, I have many friends. we share a common language and are working together for the honour of the country. At club level, you are with your team-mates every day, so you can communicate and get on easily. But speaking from the heart, I prefer the feeling of the national team.
How many more European Championships do you intend to play?
It's hard to say. In five years I may not have the same speed, but you never know. For now, I just want to enjoy football. I will do my best.

Dell's XPS M1330 seems to be getting better and better with every passing week. As if Dell adding it to the list of systems it has available with Linux pre-installed, it has now become the company's first system to offer a built-in Wireless USB module - which given the undeniable (and unsurprising) popularity of the M1330 is a great move.
As well as the internal module, Dell is also bundling a four-port WUSB hub from Belkin, which is obviously going to be necessary if you want to actually use it. Specs wise you'll still find the same 10m range limit, support for all USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 devices and the requirement to install device drivers - it isn't a magic hub.
Alas this is currently only showing on the US dell site, but as Belkin's WUSB hub recently saw a UK release, and Dell is usually pretty good at adding these new options simultaneously worldwide we have high hopes for us Brits getting the option soon too. In terms of pricing Dell has a pretty compelling deal too; while the Belkin hub is around $199 separately, with the XPS M1330 it's a mere $150. Assuming that difference holds true in the UK, we'd expect it to be roughly a £100 option - hardly cheap, but well worthwhile for the pure brilliance and modernity of it.

I've had experience with drinking but I'm not really going to go into that.
For the most part, I believe most states in the US have a law (well at least where I live) that allows under 21/above 15 to consume alcohol as long as it's on their own property and with parental consent/presence (forgot which). So, in most cases it would be up to the parents and likely only during special occasions like maybe new years or christmas or something. To me that law is perfect. Parents should really teach kids to drink responsibility rather then not at all and the law i mentioned is almost a good way to do this.
Don't get me wrong, it's fun to get drunk off your ass but really bad to make a habit out of it obviously.

If you haven't heard the news or you're one of those Luddites who refuses to get a Facebook account (how could you hold out after reading all the positive press lately?), Facebook recently pissed off pretty much everyone with an account by changing their default contact email to [username]@facebook.com without telling anyone. Oh, that's not entirely true. Facebook kinda sorta mentioned it might happen back in April, so as far as they're concerned you've got no right to be upset. Even though they straight up lied:
"We are providing every Facebook user with his or her own Facebook email address because we find that many users find it useful to connect with each other, but using Facebook email is completely up to you." That's the official line they sent out two months ago, so you could argue "completely up to you" might have misled people into thinking it was, y'know, up to them.
But whatever. It took all of five minutes to hunt down the settings and switch my email back; in the grand scheme of wrongs the universe has inflicted on me, it was pretty low on the list. But then I realized something: Facebook's email isn't actually an email client. Any email you send to a Facebook email addy shows up as an Instant Message for the user. That's the way Facebook intended it, it's kind of dumb to me, but whatever. The point is now every spambot this side of Russia has a direct pipeline to your Facebook inbox.
See, your Facebook email addy is your username, which is also your unique URL on the site. So if you know my URL is facebook.com/llandar, you now ALSO know you can send me an IM by emailing llandar@facebook.
And why wouldn't you want to befriend me?
This isn't a new problem, email clients have been fighting dictionary and brute force attacks like this since there was email, but because of that battle they've evolved specialized and accurate spam filters. Some are better than others, but the point is they're pretty good at filtering out the bogus.
So far as I know Facebook's only means of spam prevention is to have each user individually report a message as spam. That's fine when you only occasionally get random half-empty profiles with pictures of busty teenage girls asking you if you like to have fun, but with the entire world now able to hit you up at a moment's notice, de-spamming your inbox is going to be a full-time job. And what about those of us who aren't so savvy at recognizing a 419 scam? Is your grandma on Facebook? What about your tech-illiterate dad? Are they going to be able to figure out what's going on when suddenly dozens of strangers are messaging them to say hi and ask if they need deals on Canadian pharmacy drugs?
Am I overreacting? Probably, but that's sort of what I get paid to do. But I can't help but wonder if Facebook, the world's biggest customer information pimp, didn't already plan this out as a better way to sell off mailing lists.
Is Randall paranoid? Are you worried about more spam in your life? Do you even have a Facebook account? Want to be friends? Let us know in the comments!

Karzai believes too early to judge Afghan election
By Emma Graham-Harrison and Jonathon Burch
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai believes it is too early to judge the quality of this weekend's parliamentary vote, his spokesman said on Monday, as the election watchdog said it expected thousands of fraud complaints.
Afghan election officials had been quick to declare Saturday's vote a success despite reports of fraud, low voter turnout and attacks by the Taliban across the country.
But chief Karzai spokesman Waheed Omer said that while holding the election in the face of threats of violence from the Taliban and massive logistical challenges had been a great achievement, it was too early to assess its overall success.
"It is early for us to make concrete judgement ... as far as the quality of the election is concerned, and organisation, this is too early to judge," Omer told a news conference in Kabul.
"The president and government will make judgement after the relevant organisations have concluded their work," he said, adding that Karzai had cancelled a planned trip to the United Nations to follow the vote counting process.
Results of the election are being closely watched in Washington ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's planned war strategy review in December, expected to look at the speed and scope of U.S. troop withdrawals after nine years of war.
A flawed poll could weigh on Obama when his administration faces mid-term Congressional elections in November amid sagging public support for the war, with violence at its worst since the Taliban were ousted in 2001.
On Sunday, Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, also said it was too early to describe the poll as a success, as some Afghan election officials had done when voting ended on Saturday. Continued...


text: CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chicago office of Protiviti, a global consulting firm, has awarded two local students with renewable $5,000 college scholarships. The scholarships were funded thanks to employee contributions through Protiviti's CommUnity Scholarship Program. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090115/AQTH541LOGO) Ruben Estrada and Alyssa Ford, both recent graduates of Ace Tech Charter High School, were selected based on grade point average (GPA), school activities and community/civic involvement. As part of the selection process, Estrada and Ford also participated in interviews with Protiviti employees where both students demonstrated their passion, initiative and communication skills. "During the selection process, we met with some tremendously bright and motivated students. However, Reuben and Alyssa truly stood out during their respective interviews," said Sharon Lindstrom, a managing director in Protiviti's Chicago office who oversees the scholarship program. "We are proud to forge a long-term relationship with Reuben and Alyssa and support them as they work toward their educational and career goals." Reuben Estrada moved to the United States in the sixth grade, quickly mastered English, and graduated from Ace Tech with a 4.0 GPA. In addition to his honor roll status and membership in Ace Tech's robotics and chess teams, Estrada attended a college-level class in physiology at Northwestern University through its College Bridge Program during the summer of 2011. This month, he entered the Illinois Institute of Technology as a computer engineering major. Alyssa Ford graduated from Ace Tech as an honor roll student and a member of the National Honor Society. In addition to her experiences working at Catholic Charities and the South Side YMCA during high school summers, she served as an engineering intern at Rush Medical Center in the summer of 2011. Developing an interest in medicine, Ford continued to work at Rush throughout her senior year of high school and has now begun pursuing a major in nursing at Bradley University. Through the CommUnity Scholarship Program, Protiviti selects two new scholarship recipients each year, providing both financial support and encouragement to Chicago public school students. Scholarships are renewable on an annual basis as long as minimum GPA requirements are met. Including Estrada and Ford, Protiviti now supports a total of eight scholars on campuses across the United States. Another six students have graduated with college degrees through the program. "By renewing the scholarships over the course of the students' undergraduate studies, we try to personally connect our employees' donations to a positive impact on the students' lives," Lindstrom said. "One of the reasons this program has been successful is because our employees get to know these students and take a real interest in their futures."

Statement on Hard Drive Theft
Over the weekend, unauthorized persons entered a data closet in a remote location that BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee still leases for training purposes (Eastgate Town Center). They removed some computer equipment, including small hard drives containing encoded data.
BlueCross continues to work with local and federal authorities. Based on what we know so far in this investigation, the stolen computer equipment contained voice recordings of eligibility and coordination-of-benefit calls used for training purposes. The retrieval of member data from these drives would require highly-specialized expertise and software; therefore, at the present time, we have no reason to believe that member data has been accessed.
Reports of a burglar alarm that went off Friday evening at the Eastgate Town Center location are inaccurate. On Friday evening Oct. 2, our computer monitoring systems generated a notice that there was an issue with the servers in the data closet. This electronic notice only indicated that the servers were not functioning properly, not that there had been a theft from the server room. As these servers were not critical to our operations during the weekend, we did not dispatch an employee until Monday morning. On Monday morning an information systems employee went to physically service the equipment only to discover then that the disk drives had been stolen.
BlueCross takes the security of our members health information seriously. If we discover that any members personal information has been compromised, we will reach out directly to notify those members as soon as possible. We have a team working diligently to determine what personal information, if any, has been accessed.
As details become available, BlueCross will post that information on its Web site, bcbst.com.
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee does not make unsolicited phone calls asking for personal information such as bank account or drivers license information.
About BlueCross
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's mission is to provide its customers and communities with peace of mind through affordable solutions for health and healing, life and living. Founded in 1945, the Chattanooga-based company is focused on reinventing the health plan for its 3 million members in Tennessee and across the country.

Borrowing Tools
So over the past few weeks I've been helping my neighbor out with his patio on and off before he moves back to Indiana. He's self employed and I work 40+ a week, my old lady works 30 hours and we have two kids. So when I can't help him in person, I let him borrow my tools: A 3/8" ratchet, a 3" extension, a 7/8" box wrench and a 1/2" hammer drill. All nice, brand name stuff. He was just replacing the hardware for the patio posts, but has a couple of back problems right now, and as result also had his son over on some of the days I couldn't help him. His son brought tools as well (apparently mine weren't good enough)
We last week I helped him finish up the last post and I told him, "I'm going to take my tools home now since you don't need them anymore." He looked at me confused and asked me "What tools?" I pointed at his plastic tool box (one of the 50-piece sets that come pre-molded and book-fold) that was just full of tools thrown in it haphazardly and named off my tools, size and brand. Apparently at the time, my information was enough to take me at word but tonight he asked me if I had taken his son's ratchet by mistake.
The ratchet his kid has is one of those craftsman's with the blue handle, the ratchet I let him borrow is all chrome and has a nice goose neck to it. I specifically let him borrow it because I knew he'd be working close to the concrete and the goose neck would save his knuckles. I told him "No, I don't have it, but if you don't believe me you can look in my toolbox when I get home."
I'm trying to keep an even demeanor about this, but inside I'm steaming mad that he would ask me if I took his son's ratchet. His disorganization is not shared by me, and I have no reason to want a spare 3/8" ratchet, I have a handful of them. Has anyone else ever had problems with neighbors borrowing tools?
Oh yes, been there many times when younger, trying to be helpful cost me hundreds of dollars.. The last straw was when a neighbor wanted to borrow my car dolly for the weekend. Didn't bring it back Monday and I talked to his mother.. He moved to Alabama....with my tow dolly..never saw it again or loaned ANY more tools.. I tell would be borrowers I need a $$$$$$$$$ deposit...

Not a bad idea. This was enough to put a sour taste in my mouth, I don't think my tools are ever going to leave my garage without being under my supervision again.
My tool's is no different then my wife,,,, You don't Borrow either one...

Valkyrie5.7 (05-15-2013)
I'd rather have a neighbor in my box than some of these old meth head looking guys the boss brings around.
Thats bs. Its really the principle that is irritating. I misplaced my favorite 3/8s when I put it in the misc specialty tools toolboxand not in the main tools toolbox. I spent 3 days searching everywhere even on roads (possibility it was still in the engine bay and in my tired stooper left it n it fell out). Not thinking that It may be in the other box. All the while I had to use a backup which I was not haply about and was ragging until I went in the other box and was like really...
Same thing happened with my favorite tin snips once. Again being tired was the culprit and I later found them in the engine bay of the truck but I literally went on a rampage when I thought I had lost them. It sucks losing tools.
But due to your dilemna is why when me and buddies meet up at one of our places to work on our autos we always keep them seperated within their own section, whatever tool we use stays in our hand or at our side until we put it back in its designated area and we run down all of the tools that we have and have a confirmation that everyone has all of their tools and arent missing any. You can get with my gf but when it comes to my autos and my tools thats the line lol. I get uneasy when friends sit behimd the wheel of mine even with the daily its weird.
|The Following User Says Thank You to itsjusti For This Useful Post:
if it's a friend I wouldn't mind letting someone borrow my cheap stuff I have as doubles, which is craftsman and husky and those sort of tools, but if it's at work my thoughts are, "get your own fricken tools!". If someone has to borrow the same tool day in and day out should just go get the darn thing themselves.
I let my neib, borrow tools, as he returns them and snowblows my driveway if he is off, and if he's working I have free range to go get it and do my drive and ofcourse I do his also.. my dad always brings stuff back so ,he just has to ask..
everyone else... other neib. or friends/family. I take a deposit, of the cost of the tool+1/2.. if you don't like that,well go buy it.. this way the tool always comes back and in the shape it left in.. cause if it's broken they don't get their money back untill it's fixed..
only had one neib, bark about it.. and I flat out tell them, I'm sorry but tools have a habbit of growing legs and never to be seen again.. this way if that happens, I can replace it.. and people tend to treat it as it was their own when there is money on the line...
I sad, sorry don't like it, go rent it from lowes, you'll give back the tool and get nothing back..
he was like but it's only a ratchet, I said, yes it is, buy that ratchet is 350.oo if it grows legs, I'm out 350 bucks.
then the lightbulb went off..in his head..
not that I'd loan out that ratchet.. but it proved the point..
haven't lost a tool yet, other than the wife moving stuff, and not being able to find it..
that will be fixed once I get the basement done.. and every tool will have it's own place.. just like the garage..

I used to let some guys at work borrow tools every now and then, but it will not happen again as I always have to ask for them back several times!!!

I could not even begin to count how many i have lost over the years that never made it back home, But I have one friend i can lend some tools to and get them back, even though he seldom ask cause he knows how i am about my tools, i tool myself along time ago i would never do it again i have even given tools engine stands cherry pickers away instead of lending them out now they were older one but still good working order just the same , i helped a neighbor out not to long ago he wanted to borrow my engine hoist well that's been awhile now and as bad as i can say is i'm going after it next week and that's it again done with it . i think anyway.
When matco came out with ratcheting box wrench I got a metric set. My friend barrowed them . He returned them , two of the wrenches with a broken mechanism. I didn't catch it at first. I found out when I tried to use them next. Confronting him later, he replied they are lifetime warranty.
i have a rule that i use with my buddies (they are the only ones that get to borrow ANYTHING)
the first time you need it i am more than happy to oblige
if you need it twice?
buy your own.
it has worked great for a long time.
I'll loan out my "Snap-off" tools, but never my Craftsman or my good ones.
I have broken SO many Snap-offs and had SO much trouble finding the "friendly" truck driver and then getting told to perform the physically impossible thing that I'd loan out those to strangers on the street rather than use 'em by mistake.
(I've sold nearly all of 'em now)
You my friend ...are a good neighbor. Your neighbor on the other hand ...not so much.
I dont loan tools... I gotta trust a guy pretty well before I loan anything of value.
I would loan you a tool if needed as I think you could be trusted, sounds like you need a few.
At least you make a great neighbor.

AP picks up White House's "terrorist surveillance program" terminology
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
Following the lead of Fox News and The Washington Times editorial page, an article by the Associated Press adopted a variation of the White House terminology "terrorist surveillance program" to describe the Bush administration's domestic spying program.
Following Fox News' and The Washington Times editorial board's leads, a February 9 Associated Press article by staff writer Katherine Shrader adopted a variation of the White House's terminology for its warrantless domestic surveillance program, referring to it as the "anti-terrorist surveillance program." Bush first used the term "terrorist surveillance program" publicly in a January 23 speech at Kansas State University in which he defended his authorization of the National Security Agency (NSA) to intercept communications of U.S. residents without court warrants. Bush said of the NSA's activities, "It's what I would call a terrorist surveillance program." The article also referred to the monitored communications as "terror-related," even though the vast majority of them have reportedly led to "dead ends or innocent Americans."
As Media Matters for America has noted, the term "terrorist surveillance program" appears to have originated with the right-wing news website NewsMax.com on December 22; operators of right-wing weblogs began to pick up the term on January 20, according to a timeline by the weblog Think Progress. On January 22, the White House press office released a backgrounder on the NSA program, in which the term appeared 10 times in reference to the domestic eavesdropping.
Beginning on January 25 (noted here and here) -- during a week that saw the administration go on the offensive to defend its practice of wiretapping U.S. residents without obtaining warrants -- Fox News began slipping the term "terrorist surveillance program," or a variation thereof, into its news reports and commentary to describe the National Security Agency's (NSA) program. Since then, Fox News reporters and anchors have continued to use the term "terrorist (or terror) surveillance program" in their reporting. A February 2 Washington Times editorial on President Bush's State of the Union address also adopted the White House's terminology for its warrantless domestic surveillance program, as did several regional newspapers and editorial boards.
Reporting on the Bush administration's decision to brief full Congressional intelligence committees on the NSA spy program, Shrader used the term "anti-terrorist surveillance program" to describe the program:
At least one Democrat left saying he had a better understanding of legal and operational aspects of the anti-terrorist surveillance program. But he said he still had a number of questions.
The article also uncritically described the NSA program's intercepted communications as "terror-related." But, as a Media Matters previously noted, The Washington Post reported on February 5 that out of thousands of Americans whose communications have been monitored by the NSA without a court order, "fewer than 10" U.S. citizens or residents "aroused enough suspicion during warrantless eavesdropping to justify interception of their domestic calls, as well." The Post report followed a December 17, 2005, New York Times article, which noted that "virtually all" of the phone conversations monitored by the NSA have "led to dead ends or innocent Americans," according to "[m]ore than a dozen current and former law enforcement and counterterrorism officials."
Most news outlets noting the moniker have placed it in quotes or disclosed it is a term the Bush administration has promoted. The AP article has been picked up by the websites of numerous news outlets, including CNN.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, ABCNews.com, the Jackson News-Tribune (Wyoming), Newsday, Forbes.com, The Oregonian, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Cincinnati Post.

About Sima Qian 司馬遷
Sima Qian 司馬遷 (ca. 145–ca. 86 b.c.e., alt. birth year 135 b.c.e., alt. death year 90 b.c.e.), zi Zichang 子長, Western Han historian and writer.
Sima Qian's natal place was Xiayang 夏陽 in Zuopingyi 左馮翊 (modern Hancheng 韓城, Shaanxi). He reputedly came from a family of historians. Sima Qian claimed that his ancestors had charge of the historical records of the Zhou court. His father, Sima Tan 司馬談 (d. 110 BCE), around the year 136 BCE received an appointment in the capital as grand historian (or grand scribe). The main duty of the grand historian was to draw up the yearly calendar and present it to the emperor before each New Year's day. He also determined which days of the month were auspicious for state ceremonies, and which days were to be avoided. Another duty was to keep a record of good and bad omens. This position, which Sima Qian eventually inherited after his father's death, was not a high-paying or particularly prestigious position. In his "Letter in Reply to Ren An," Sima Qian refers to the grand historian as simply a plaything of the emperor.
In 126 BCE, at about the age of twenty, Sima Qian made an extensive tour of the Han realm. Sima Qian was one of the most widely traveled men of his age, and his experience visiting ancient sites probably broadened his knowledge of history. He began his journey from Chang'an and went south across the Yangzi river to Changsha 長沙 (modern Hunan). Changsha was the place where Jia Yi 賈誼 (ca, 200–168 b.c.e.) had been exiled. From there he went to the Miluo 汨羅 river, where he visited the site at which Qu Yuan reputedly committed suicide (either north of modern Miluo, Hunan, or northwest of modern Yicheng 宜城, Hubei). He then went to the Jiuyi 九疑 Mountains (modern Ningyuan 寧遠, Hunan), the burial place of the legendary ruler Shun. After climbing Mount Lu 廬 in Jiangxi, he traveled to the Guiji 會稽 Mountains (near modern Shaoxing, Zhejiang) to seek out the cave in which the Great Yu was said to be buried. From here went to north to Huaiyin 淮陰 (modern Huaiyin, Jiangsu) to investigate the haunts of the early Han general Han Xin 韓信 (d. 196 BCE). He then traveled north to the old Lu area where he studied ritual and other subjects in Confucius' natal place of Qufu 曲阜.
Upon returning to the capital, Sima Qian entered government service as a palace gentleman. This was probably sometime between 122 and 116 BCE. The position of palace gentleman was a very low rank, and those who served in this position were nothing more than attendants and guards to the emperor. However, because he had to accompany the emperor, Sima Qian again had an opportunity to travel. The emperor was now Emperor Wu (r. 141–87 BCE), who was traveling constantly making inspection tours of the empire. Sima Qian participated in the great western expedition of 111 BCE to Shu 蜀 (modern Sichuan). In 110 BCE Sima Qian was a member of the imperial entourage that accompanied Emperor Wu on his ascent of Mount Tai where elaborate sacrifices were performed.
Sima Qian's father was not permitted to go on the journey to Mount Tai. When Sima Qian returned to the capital, he found his father gravely ill on his deathbed. Sima tan spoke to his son as follows: "Our ancestors were grand scribes for the house of Zhou. From high antiquity they had illustrious achievement and fame during the reigns of Yu [Shun] and Xia when they had charge of astronomical matters. In later ages our clan declined. Will this tradition end with me? If you also will become grand historian, you may continue the work of our ancestors."
Sima Tan had used his position as grand historian to consult the imperial archives, and he had begun to compile a history of the Chinese empire. He urged his son to carry on his endeavor.
After observing a twenty-four-month mourning period for his father, in 108 BCE Sima Qian succeeded to his father's post as grand historian. True to his father's instructions, Sima Qian continued writing the history of the empire. In 105 BCE, Sima Qian participated in a major reform of the calendar. The calendar introduced at this time, the Taichu 太初曆 or Grand Inception Calendar, became the official calendar used throughout the succeeding periods of Chinese history for the next 2,000 years.
In 99 BCE, Emperor Wu sent an expedition into Central Asia against the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were the most powerful foreign threat to the Han. One of the commanders of the Chinese armies was a general named Li Ling 李陵 (d. 119 b.c.e.). Li Ling's force of 5,000 penetrated deeply into Xiongnu territory, where they were surrounded. Li Ling was forced to surrender. Almost all of the officials at the Han court turned against Li Ling and condemned him for surrendering. Only Sima Qian came to Li Ling's defense. In his "Letter in reply to Ren An," Sima Qian writes that he was not a close friend of Li Ling's, but he had always admired his character. Sima Qian made the mistake of mentioning in his defense of Li Ling that one reason for Li Ling's defeat was that the relief column that was supposed to come to his rescue did not arrive. It so happened that this relief column was headed by none other than General Li Guangli 李廣利 (d. 88 BCE), who was the elder brother of Emperor Wu's favorite concubine Lady Li 李夫人. Outraged, Emperor Wu had Sima Qian thrown into prison. The charge against Sima Qian was "misleading the emperor." This was a crime that was punishable by execution. In Han times, it was possible to commute the crime by paying a large sum of money. The amount would have been 500,000 cash. Sima Qian was not wealthy and could not afford to pay this huge sum. The only other choices left to Sima Qian were (1) to commit suicide, or (2) to undergo the punishment known as the "punishment of rottenness" — castration. The usual practice for a man of Sima Qian's status was to commit suicide. In his "Letter in response to Ren An" Sima Qian indicates that he had no choice but to accept the humiliation of castration, for he had not yet completed the task his father had bequeathed to him, completing the history.
In 96 BCE Sima Qian was released from prison and appointed palace secretary, a relatively high position. Scholars have assigned various dates for the year of his death. He may have died as early as 90 BCE or as late as 86 BCE.
Sima Qian's most important work is Shi ji 史記 (Grand scribe's record or records of the grand historian). He may have completed the work around 93 BCE.
Sima Qian is attributed with the "Bei shi buyu fu" 悲士不遇賦 (Fu lamenting the neglected scholar), which survives only as an extract in the Tang commonplace book Yiwen leiju (30.541). Although the piece was attributed to Sima Qian as early as the Six Dynasties period (see Tao Qian's preface to his "Gan shi buyu fu" 感士不遇賦, Tao Jingjie xiansheng ji 陶靖節先生集, Sbby, 5.1a), several modern scholars have doubted its authenticity. Most of the piece is not a personal complaint, but a general statement about the unlucky fate of the man of talent who was born in an unenlightened age.

Retiva, a little pink pill packaged in a pretty pink bottle, is formulated for women, offering increased energy for burning calories.

Retiva is made of mostly natural ingredients, some of which have properties that promote a healthy immune system and contain antioxidants. Retiva also contains several caffeine sources, which is where the added energy boost comes from. One serving of Retiva has more than 480mg of caffeine; for reference, the average cup of coffee contains 115mg of caffeine.
Other ingredients found in Retiva include yerba mate, green tea, green coffee, rice flour, gelatin and red and blue color additives.

User Feedback(Page 2 of 2, 24 total comments)
best pill ever. worked great for me. I do not know why they keep taking off the market, other products are more harmful, found nothing wrong with retiva, other then it worked.
This pill worked for me. I was on a diet program and lost extra lbs when on it and when off - weight loss slowed. Makes you kjittery at first if you dont usually drink caffeine but then wears off.
I don't do a lot of caffeine so retiva made me way too jittery. My stomach was also a little turned around with this product
funny how marketing to women means making everything pink

I happened to catch the first two 10-minute periods during the basketball team's scrimmage last Saturday morning. Here are my observations:
--Yancy Gates and Anthony McClain were on the same team and on the court at the same time. I'd be interested to see how much Mick Cronin will use that lineup for his frontcourt this year. He said last week that he could use Gates at the power forward spot and McClain at the center position at the same time, and defensively and rebounding-wise, they might make for a pretty good duo.
An example: Gates missed a free throw during the scrimmage, and McClain was the one to secure the rebound and keep possession for the black team. Later on, Steve Toyloy tried to go up and around on McClain, and McClain, playing solid defense, forced the airball from about 4 feet. Gates and McClain also managed to block a few shots (though I overheard assistant coach George Jackson tell somebody that McClain relies on the blocked shot too much).
Gates looks bigger (taller and wider), but as the game wore on, it looked to me that he got tired. Which definitely limited his effectiveness.
--Lance Stephenson struggled with his shot early on (he missed his first four attempts), but his passing was fantastic. He fed a beautiful ball to Darnell Wilks for what would have been a killer alley-oop (Wilks let the ball go between his fingertips), and later, he found Toyloy in the post with laser-like precision. After starting slow, he blew by Sean Kilpatrick on the baseline for an easy layup.
The obvious NBA-type talent - and his NBA-type body - is there. He just happened to have an off-day shooting the ball.
--Ibrahima Thomas looks thin to me. But just how thin is questionable, because the 6-foot-11 junior who won't be eligible until the Dec. 13 Crosstown Shootout wore long sleeves during the exhibition.
--Scoring totals (through the first 20 minutes)
Black team (19): Deonta Vaughn 5, Anthony McClain 4, Sean Kilpatrick 4, Jaquon Parker 3, Yancy Gates 3.
Red team (37): Larry Davis 11, Ibrahima Thomas 8, Cashmere Wright 7, Lance Stephenson 6, Steve Toyloy 5.

This is why Hello Kitty fanatics scare the hell out of me – they fashion things like this Hello Kitty bikini bottom that they believe is sexy, but just leaves everyone who sees it saying wtf?!?

Hello Kitty Bra Shop
Hello Kitty themed stores freak me out because there is no question that it will end up on my wife's lists of places we must visit some day. It's bad enough that I will someday be tortured into having to go to the Hello Kitty sweet shop, the Hello Kitty hotel (or even worse, the Hello Kitty love hotel) and the Hello Kitty hospital, but when it comes to evil feline and Hello Kitty bras, the Hello Kitty bra shop is a nightmare come true:
Hello Kitty ???
It's bad enough when photos arrive in my mailbox that are products branded with Hello Kitty, but it's even worse when I get a random Hello Kitty photo that I have absolutely no idea what it's all about (and am too frightened to even imagine what's going on):

I will be out of town for the first two weeks of April and I'm probably not going to have access to the Internet during that time to update this blog. I'm looking for someone to volunteer to take over during that time. If you feel that you can carry the Hello Kitty Hell banner while I'm away, please send me an email letting me know why you would be a good candidate for the job…
Hello Kitty Rectal Thermometer
While I don't condone any product displaying the Hello Kitty brand, if I did have to choose one, the Hello Kitty rectal thermometer would certainly be in the running:
Hello Kitty Easter Egg Massacre
It's not often that I'm torn when it comes to anything Hello Kitty. The fact that Hello Kitty Easter eggs exist pretty much proves that Hello Kitty Hell has already invaded every possible holiday rendering them all times of torture. So it would be nothing out of the ordinary for me to react to Hello Kitty Easter eggs with the typical disgust I do with most things by the evil feline. But there is something that made me smile as it tickled my sense of justice when Hello Kitty Easter eggs were forced to witness the massacre of other Hello Kitty Easter eggs:
A photo set in which we created Hello Kitty Easter eggs, then ate them and made the remaining eggs stare at the resulting colorful carnage. I thought you might find it amusing, at the very least.
Hello Kitty Aki Hoshino
While the Hello Kitty vibrator pretty much put to rest any doubt that Sanrio wanted to expand beyond kids, the recent collaborative between Hello Kitty and Aki Hoshino pretty much continues along these lines. For those unfamiliar, Aki Hoshino is a Japanese bikini model that has turned that into a b-list TV career:
Not known for much else but the massive amount of flesh on her chest, Hello Kitty has embraced her with a new T-shirt line:
Hello Kitty Perez Hilton Dog Head
Hello Kitty Pikachu Tattoo
They just keep coming. Hello Kitty alone is reprehensible enough, but placing her on your skin with other supposedly "cute" characters just takes things to a whole new disastrous level as can be seen in this Hello Kitty Pikachu tattoo:
Hello Kitty Pro Wrestling
A sure sign that the apocalypse is upon us…The Kitty World Order:
Hello Kitty Circuit Board
Today, two confounded IT technicians wandered into my office and handed me a drawer from the new rack that they were installing. Printed on the circuit board was….
I cringed with despair when people started to make Hello Kitty computer mods. This sickness only increased as manufacturers began rolling out mass produced Hello Kitty laptops (and another and another), but I figured that it had to end there. Seriously, what else could Hello Kitty really do? But, alas, as has been well established here in Hello Kitty Hell, the evil feline can always do more. For those of you not yet thoroughly convinced that Hello Kitty plans to place her face on every single product in the world, I present the Hello Kitty circuit board.
Hello Kitty Ankle Tattoo
It is depressing the sheer number of Hello Kitty tattoos that exist out there and doubly depressing that so many people have an uncontrollable urge to share them with me.
Hello Kitty Room Hell Video
Eight minutes of pure Hello Kitty Hell (view at your own risk of permanent brain damage)…
Hello Kitty Mop Slippers
It's never good to offer to help around the house when you live with a Hello Kitty fanatic. Even a simple "is there anything I can do to help clean?" will inevitably result in the evil feline forcing herself upon you. Case and point: Hello Kitty mop slippers:
Hello Kitty Lunch Bags
It's bad enough that my wife ends up making me Hello Kitty bentos for my lunch when I go out, but now when they aren't wrapped in Hello Kitty handkerchiefs, I have to carry them in Hello Kitty lunch bags.
Hello Kitty Afro Samurai Tattoo
I don't know which is more disturbing — that Hello Kitty tattoos actually exist or that they continue to mix and match the evil feline with other themes that make you simply say, "WTF?" That is about all that can be said for the Hello Kitty Afro Samurai Tattoo:
Hello Kitty Is Loved By Drug Lords
Why does this seem so appropriate to me?
Hello Kitty, the Japanese cartoon figure popular with teenagers around the world, was used by a notorious Colombian drug lord to hide messages to his minions, according to a report Monday.
Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia, who is being held in Brazil after his arrest in August, hid voice and text messages digitally encoded into e-mailed images of the innocent feline, Brazilian police told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Investigators say the disguised missives, hundreds of which were found on Abadia's computer, could put the narcotics kingpin up to his neck in Kitty litter as some of them allegedly detail cocaine shipments between countries…
Abadia apparently picked Hello Kitty as his courier because his wife was a big fan of the Japanese icon — she had even decorated one of her rooms in a Brazilian house with Hello Kitty-themed chairs, watches and wallpaper.
Using Hello Kitty to help run a worldwide drug trafficking operation puts into perspective the real Hello Kitty and makes perfect sense. In fact, I would not be surprised if Sanrio sanctioned this because they felt that drug trafficking was becoming more popular than Hello Kitty and wanted in on the action (as they seem to do with anything else that has even the slightest bit of popularity).
The only bad part of this whole incident is that last paragraph highlighted in bold — I think he has a good insanity defense that will probably get him off…

Hello Kitty Rocks!
It's all right. Settle down and catch your breath. I know you read that headline and just about had a heart attack thinking that I had finally completely lost it. I'm sure you pictured me having been taken away in a Hello Kitty straight jacket to spend the rest of my life knocking my head against Hello Kitty themed padded walls (which is undoubtedly coming soon). No, in reality you once again failed to realize the utterly ridiculous levels Hello Kitty will go to sell her image. The headline is unfortunately literally accurate — The evil feline is now selling hand painted rocks that are done in her image:
Just when you believe that Sanrio can't possible think of a more completely useless product than the Hello Kitty banana cover, they go and do this. Can Hello Kitty dirt be far behind? Or possibly a Hello Kitty slingshot to add to the ever growing arsenal of Hello Kitty weapons.
Of course, my wife absolutely loves these. Upon seeing them, the ever present "this is so cute" came with an overly elongated "soooooo" that is a unbreakable secret code that Hello Kitty fanatics use to determine exactly where in the overall scheme of Hello Kitty each product ranks.
You know how this came about. Someone at Sanrio said, "Hey, remember years ago when the pet rock was all the rage? Why don't we make a Hello Kitty pet rock?" Now, at any other corporation in the world, that person would have been fired the next day, but in the world of Hello Kitty, that person has been promoted to a management position. Which simply means that more stuff like this will continue to flood the market for Hello Kitty fanatics and continue to move my Hello Kitty Hell to new depths…
Sent in by Adora who deserves to have to spend her life painting rocks in the image of Hello Kitty and then have them thrown at her for thinking that sending this to me could be a good idea in any way, shape or form.
Update: Apparently the evil feline didn't feel that painted rocks were enough and found a way to put her likeness into a natural Hello Kitty stone:

Hello Kitty Fashion Show Video
There is not much in this world that I would consider a worse form of torture and torment than having to sit through something like this Hello Kitty fashion show:
While my wife would view attending something like this close to heaven, I think I would need to carry around the sack full of the Hello Kitty barf bags just to make it through the first few minutes. It's painful enough having to watch it on a video, let alone imagining what it would be like attending live. Of course, my wife is already frantically searching to see if there are other Hello Kitty fashion shows planned for the future — which means that my life could soon dive much, much deeper into Hello Kitty Hell…
Sent in by kttops who really deserves an extra special horrifying punishment for 1) making me sit through that video 2) upon seeing it, convincing my wife that not seeing a Hello Kitty fashion show will mean her life has somehow lost all its meaning 3) Thinking for even a fraction of a second that it would be a good idea to send me something like this…
Hello Kitty Comic Strip
Yep, this sums Hello Kitty up pretty damn well…
I know that they have Hello Kitty ash trays and Hello Kitty Zippo lighters, so Hello Kitty cigarettes really aren't that much of a stretch – Sanrio probably already has them in the production pipeline and they will undoubtedly come with substances that produce further Hello Kitty addictive behavior. One more thing to dread that will only increase my Hello Kitty Hell…
Sent in by Jon, who deserves a beer from me if we ever meet for showing Hello Kitty for who she is so well…

English cricket bosses are considering the introduction of a new drugs policy as it emerged today that former Surrey player Tom Maynard had taken cocaine and ecstasy.
The 23-year-old was killed when he stepped on a live rail near Wimbledon Park underground station and was hit by a train last June, having been stopped by police on suspicion of drink driving.
An inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court heard that alcohol levels in his body were three times higher than the drink-drive limit while tests also revealed he had consistently used cocaine and MDMA in the three months before his death.
There are now moves in English cricket to test players for recreational substances outside competition days.
Standard Sport understands that cricket authorities in this country have been speaking to their counterparts in Australia, as well as leading figures within rugby union in England, as they ponder changing their procedure.
It is possible the revised plan could be brought in during the forthcoming English season, which lasts from April until September.
The England and Wales Cricket Board are thought to be holding detailed discussions with the players' union, the Professional Cricketers' Association, to decide what changes should be made to improve the present system.
Currently, players are tested for performance-enhancing drugs both in and out of competition but they are required to submit to examinations for social drugs only during matches. Players can be banned for up to two years for a positive test and during a typical summer, it is believed a county team would be subjected to between 10 and 20 visits from drugs personnel.
It is believed the ECB and PCA wish to alter their stance through a desire to boost their education programmes regarding drugs and offer more help to cricketers. The PCA have similar initiatives in place to guard against other potentially serious problems, such as alcohol, gambling and depression.
A source said: "This is not about looking to identify cheats but about trying to keep players safe and to understand which social drugs they might be taking. In the first place, it's about giving people treatment and advice."
The Rugby Football Union conduct around 700 tests for illict drugs away from matches. The Rugby Players' Association and the PRL, who run professional rugby, set up the initiative with the RFU.

Managing By Values
In "Managing by values" (Cover Story, Aug. 1) Levi Strauss & Co. said its contract garment workers in Bangladesh are paid $384 a month. Levi's now says these workers actually earn an average of only $50 a month, including overtime pay. The $384 figure is based on a formula known as Purchasing Power Parity that reflects the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar in Bangladesh and is meant, Levi's says, to "give some context to the wages paid in different countries."

"Just like our previous game, Hobart got a five-goal run late that we couldn't stop," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "They won key faceoffs and got a timely man-up goal to win this game. I was proud of our effort but we aren't getting the results that we are looking for. We just have to find where we went wrong, regroup and come back stronger on Saturday against Manhattan."
Freshman Tim Edwards led the Griffs with three points on the night, netting a goal and registering two assists. Senior Travis Gibbons recorded a team-best two scores, with senior Simon Giourmetakis and freshmen Brandon Bull and Cody Gould each adding one tally.
Senior Sean Callahan recorded 11 saves in net for the Griffs, while seniors Brendan Murphy and Ryan O'Hagan each registered a game-high three caused turnovers to anchor the Canisius defense.
The Statesmen opened the game strong, netting the first three goals of the contest to grab the early advantage. Hobart scored two man-up goals 37 seconds apart before a third goal with 3:49 remaining in the first for the 3-0 lead.
Canisius answered back and pulled to within one by tallying the next two goals. Gibbons scored the Griffs' first goal of the game with 11:20 left in the second frame before Edwards scored off a pass from Giourmetakis with five mintues left in the half. Hobart tallied one final goal in the period as the teams headed into the intermission with the Statesmen leading, 4-2.
The Griffs took advantage of multiple man-up opportunities in the third quarter to get back into the game. Edwards set up Gould and Giourmetakis for extra-man goals at the 12:41 and 7:24 marks to pull Canisius even, 4-4.
Hobart answered with two goals by Sam Miller to reclaim its two-goal advantage but Gibbons finished the third-quarter scoring with a man-up goal as the teams headed into the final stanza with Hobart leading, 6-5.
For the second-straight game, a run to start the fourth quarter doomed the Griffs. Hobart netted the first five goals of the period, scoring all five goals in a 2:28 span to take control of the contest. Bull netted the final goal of the game for Canisius - his first collegiate tally - but the Statesmen held on for the 11-6 victory.
Hobart finished the game with a slight edge in shots, 41-40, and won the faceoff battle, 12-8. Miller and Alex Love both netted hat tricks for the Statesmen, with Peter Zonino recording 11 saves in the winning effort.
Canisius returns to MAAC play on Saturday, hosting Manhattan. Game time at the Demske Sports Complex is scheduled for 11 a.m.
Game Notes: Canisius shot just .150 in Tuesday's loss after entering the game with a .354 shooting percentage, the fifth-highest mark in the country ... Gibbons now has 11 points this season, surpassing his point total from his first three seasons combined (nine) ... Canisius netted three-man up goals after scoring just twice with the extra-man advantage in its first three games ... Hobart improves to 12-1 all-time against Canisius, winning the last two meetings.

Bulldog Custom Gun Leather - Home
Just bought this gun yesterday. It was originally purchased in April. Has night sights and all original equipment. I gave $600 for it and I think I got an excellent deal. Now to find a holster, looking for an OWB. Any suggestions?
The guy gave me a Theis, but it's a left hand version and IWB.
Six hundred was a pretty good price on the HK. I have a friend who has one of those and a USP, and both guns are super great shooters. Good luck with trying to find some leather for it.

Antonio Zoli Replica Remington Model 1863 "Zouave" .58 cal. Percussion Rifle (33" barrel, 1 : 48 twist). This rifle was manufactured by Antonio Zoli & Co. Bresica, Italy. It has brass barrel bands, nose cap, trigger guard, butt plate & patch box. The barrel is blued and the hammer & lock plate are case color. The stock is walnut, medium brown color with a varnish type finish. Overall condition is very good. The bore is excellent. The blued barrel has a few minor scratches. Some BP corrosion spots about the nipple area. The brass needs polish.. This rifle was not used in reenactments, It was used in the 70's for a few years on weekends target shooting. I used it once in a competition and took first place in 100 yard open sights. This is powerful enough for any North American game I understand. Replicas of the Remington 1863 "Zouave" are still made today by several makers and they sell for over $700.00. I would consider a B.O. I would also consider 5.56 ammo bulk 223 ammo or a good S+W revolver such as a model 10 etc. in 38 45 cal.

The Greenbrier is an award-winning resort located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. As a National Historic landmark, The Greenbrier's classic architecture, exquisite interior design, carefully sculpted landscape, impeccable service and outstanding amenities have hosted distinguished guests from around the world since 1778.
The story of The Greenbrier begins at the spring of Sulphur water that remains at the center of the resort property. It issues forth below the green dome of the white-columned Springhouse that has been the symbol of The Greenbrier for generations. Since 1778, people have come to "take the waters" to restore their health. In its first 125 years the resort was known by the name White Sulphur Springs. The resort originally consisted of rows of cottages, many of which still stand today, including Paradise Row, Alabama Row and Baltimore Row.
In the late 1700s, the sulphur springs were discovered as a medicinal miracle and as word of their healing powers spread, more and more travelers came to the area. These visitors began building a cottage community in the early 1800s and in 1858, The Grand Central Hotel, commonly known as the Old White Hotel, was added to provide additional guest rooms and a dining room. In 1910, the C & O Railway purchased the property, including the cottages and hotel, for $150,000. That same year, construction began on the central portion of today's Greenbrier. During World War II, the property was sold to the US Army and became known as Ashford General Hospital. After the war, C & O repurchased the property and hired the renowned interior designer Dorothy Draper to completely redecorate The Greenbrier. The resort boasts over two centuries of famous guests, including 26 presidents, royalty, business leaders, politicians and celebrities. The Greenbrier's archives are maintained and displayed in the Presidents' Cottage Museum.

In April 2015, protests erupted in Burundi when President Pierre Nkurunziza's sought a third term in office. Protestors claimed this was contrary to the country's constitution, but the constitutional court sided with Nkurunziza. After an attempted coup in May 2015, the government started arresting those it thought responsible. The political conflict that followed has spiralled into a protracted crisis marked by allegations of numerous human rights violations including killings, torture, and arbitrary arrests, disappearances and abductions.
