|Usted está aquí: Home / Operations / Concentrator Plant / Tailings Dam
The giant Antamina tailings dam, the highest of its kind in the world, will have the capacity to store 570 MT (metric tons) of waste rock material or 330 MT3 during its 23 year useful life span.
Built in the Huincush Ravine and three kilometers from the Concentrator Plant, this tailings pond has a 135 meter deposit base, with a reinforced concrete inner plate then increasing by 75m downstream with mine material that does not produce metal leaching. This elevation is protected, in turn, by high intensity geo-membranes to avoid possible leaks from the tailings pond outside. Drainage tunnels, concrete injections of up to 80m on the lateral supports and rainwater collector channels with end capacities of 25m3/sec., supplement this high technology work which ensures the protection of the environment, as well as its structural stability.
Currently, the tailings dam is undergoing its fourth dam heightening to reach 215 meters (at 4.090 meters.). Final height is expected to reach 240m, with 1.3 km in length in its final peak. Its seismic resistance is 0.48g, equivalent to a major grade 8 earthquake on the Richter scale with its epicenter beneath the dam at a depth of 65Km. It is designed to withstand the area's maximum probable flood even when all dam bypass channels fail. This is the equivalent of a volume of 28Mm3 in a 96 hour period.
Also, the tailings dam is not only used to dispose of the small non commercial residual amounts left over from the mill process, but also to recycle from 93 to 97% of the water used by the concentrator. Thus, Antamina does not impact high altitude Andean water bodies but rather minimizes fresh water use in its operation.
Discharges from the tailings dam into the Ayash valley reach compliance levels above 99%, according to regular observations recorded since 2004, and this ensures the free availability of this resource in the valley as an ecological continuous flow all year long of at least 150 liters / second.
In January 2003, the consulting firm Golder Associates Ltd. won the "2002 Canadian Consulting Engineering Award" of merit in the mining and industry category for its design and engineering services related to the construction of Antamina's tailings dam. The award was presented by the Association of Engineering Consultants of Canada.

Airborne Investigation Of Arctic Boundary-Layer Fronts Over The Marginal Ice Zone Of The Davis Strait

- 83 Downloads
Three aircraft-based studies of boundary-layer fronts (BLFs) werecarried out during the experiment KABEG in April 1997near the sea-ice edge over the Davis Strait. The zone of strongestcross-front horizontal gradients showed a typical length scaleof 20 km, while the along-front scale was observed to beseveral hundreds of kilometres.The observed BLFs were stronger than the few previously reportedcases. Horizontal gradients of potential temperature and specifichumidity ranged up to 3 K or 0.25 g kg-1over 20 km, respectively.Low-level winds were around 15 m s-1 parallel to the ice edge.The capping inversion sloped from between250 and 400 m over sea ice to between 400 and 700 m over ocean.
For two BLF cases turbulent fluxes and energy budgets are calculated.Turbulent energy fluxes show a factor 2 to 3 contrast acrossthe ice edge and range from 15 to 50 W m-2 over sea iceand from 50 to 100 W m-1 over open ocean.The mean boundary-layer energy budgets are dominated bycold, dry horizontal advection, which is exceededby vertical heat flux convergence.The momentum budgets are dominated by pressure gradient force,Coriolis force and momentum flux divergence.

Reference assistance with Government Documents may be obtained at the Information Desk on the 1st floor of Gorgas Library.
Government documents are available for borrowing through Interlibrary Loan.
The University Libraries receives United States federal government publications through participation in the Federal Depository Library Program. The University has been a federal depository since 1860 and a Regional depository since 1965.
The Libraries' government documents collection currently numbers over 1.5 million pieces. A majority of the documents received from 1976 to the present are housed in Gorgas Library. Some documents, when they are specific to a subject area, are sent to departmental libraries such as the Bruno Business Library or Rodgers Science and Engineering Library.
Our documents collection contains information in a variety of formats including printed volumes, microfiche, maps, posters, pamphlets, and CD-ROMs. In addition to executive, judicial, and legislative documents, government publications are an unparalleled source of information about all aspects of public policy, from business, communications, and defense to health, education, and social welfare.
As a public institution and a Federal Depository Library, the government documents collection is open to everyone. The majority of materials are allowed to be checked out just like other library materials. Users who are not affiliated with the University of Alabama may view, scan, or photocopy documents within the library building. There is also an option to purchase a Borrower's Card for $25/year.
Records for government documents have been added to the Libraries' catalog since May 1996. While we are actively adding records for older materials, not all of them are represented in the catalog at this time. Patrons or librarians wishing to determine whether or not we have a particular document may ask for reference assistance at the Information Desk or "Ask-A-Librarian" via email or chat.
Some government documents are housed in the Libraries' Annex. UA students, faculty, and staff can make requests electronically through the Libraries' catalog.
Visitors can request items to be retrieved from the Annex by making an in-person request at the Circulation Desk in Gorgas Library or by emailing Ryan McIver. If you will be visiting campus and would like your government information materials retrieved from the Annex beforehand, please contact Ron Harris, indicating when you will be on campus and which items you would like retrieved.
Government documents are located throughout Gorgas Library, including the 1st floor and Lower Level Mezzanine. Additional items can be found in the Bruno Business Library, the Rodgers Science and Engineering Library, the Map Library, and the Libraries' Annex.

Mirpur: Sub continent cricket giants India and Sri Lanka will clash in the finals of Idea cup at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on Wednesday.
The last time these two teams met in a tournament final, Sachin Tendulkar produced a match-winning century that saw India win with relative ease.
After a poor start to the tournament, Indian team looks to have gathered some momentum heading into the finals. India lost their opening match of the tri-series against Lanka but bounced back strongly with three thumping wins — two against Bangladesh and one against Kumar Sangakkara and his men — to be high on confidence as they go into the summit showdown.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side had a successful ODI record last year winning four series. They would be eager to pocket the ongoing tri-series as well, which will come as a morale booster not only going into the Test series against Bangladesh starting in Chittagong on January 17 but also for the tough season ahead.
India will have to rely largely on their batting to win them this final, with Virat Kohli leading the way. The youngster is in the form of his life, and looks to have the hunger for runs that is so essential to not losing your way in international cricket after a couple of good performances.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would be desperate to record their first series win against India in nearly two years. The islanders have lost two bilateral series and the final of a tournament at home.Sri Lanka will rely heavily on Dilshan and Sangakkara to come good.
The toss will once again play a crucial role as the last 11 matches at the venue have been won by teams batting second.
India: M S Dhoni (Captain), Virender Sehwag (Vice-Captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Yuvraj Singh, Sudeep Tyagi, Dinesh Karthik, S Sreesanth, Ashok Dinda, Amit Mishra.
Sri Lanka: Kumar Sangakkara (C), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Upul Tharanga, Thilan Samaraweera, Thilina Kandamby, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thissara Perera, Malinga Bandara, Nuwan Kulasekara, Thilan Thushara, Suraj Randiv, Suranga Lakmal, Chanaka Welegedara, Mahela Udwatte, Dinesh Chandimal.

The Krafty Librarian (Michelle Kraft) cracked me up with her comments regarding the article on Google as a diagnostic tool I posted about the other day.
Michelle posted a link on her blog to audio that summed up her reaction (and that of many healthcare information professionals) to the assertion from the article on Google as a Diagnostic Tool that "[g]oogle is likely to be a useful aid in diagnosis too. It has the advantage of being easier to use and freely available on the internet."
Press the play button on the flash player below to hear the audio:
(Link to audio)
Many knickers have been twisted in reaction to this article. For a sampling, check out the Rapid Responses at the BMJ site, or some of the postings to MEDLIB-L.
Let's try to do a little knicker-untwisting.
In the Forbes article about the study, the study's lead author is quoted as saying:
The most obvious drawback is believing everything one reads, therefore, doctors need to have skills in critical appraisal of stuff they find on the net." Similarly, "patients doing a search should use common sense, so if something is too good to be true, then… Another potential drawback is self-diagnosis by patients. I don't think search engines can ever replace a good clinician who has plenty of common sense.
Some points this brings to mind for me:
- Google is suggested as a tool for the clinician as an experienced professional pursuing a diagnosis in the context of her/his expert training.
- The authors acknowledge that both clinicians and healthcare consumers need information literacy skills, not just Google.
- The authors are focused on the use of Google as a diagnostic tool by clinicians, not by patients. Some in the popular media have been irresponsible in suggesting to readers that because Google can be useful to physicians in this manner, patients should do the same.
Here is a part of a very reasonable response that was posted to MEDLIB-L by Margaret Henderson:
…this study was specifically on looking for a diagnosis not conducting a thorough search for articles (as you would for EBM). Given that the other available tools for diagnosis are excessively expensive (note our recent discussions on Up To Date, FirstConsult, etc.) I can see that using Google as an option is a viable one for doctors with no access to these databases.
Whatever we think, it does impact the way we teach our patrons and provide reference.
Margaret's last sentence is perhaps the most important I've seen in discussion on this topic. This article should help to underline for medical libraryfolk a couple of important points:
- Medical libraries need to do a heck of a lot more self-promotion to make sure that clinicians understand the tools and services available to them when faced with a difficult diagnosis.
- One of the reasons Google is so appealing to clinicians is because it is easy to access and easy to use. Medical libraries must do more to not only develop tools with easy-to-use interfaces, but to get these tools so thoroughly incorporated into the point-of-care that using them is actually quicker and easier than using Google.
Google isn't the problem. The problem is that medical libraries are not evolving fast enough to keep up with our patrons' needs and expectations.

I have been focusing a lot of my recent work with clients on how to bring learning back into the workplace. This is driven by the fact that in the ITDigital world these days, there is less and less time available for conventional training but an ever increasing need for continual learning.
I have discovered some excellent tools that encourage and enable learning on the job, and sharing learning, in particular, FuseUniversal, which combines the best of Youtube, Linkedin, FB and Google into an incredibly easy-to-use tool that instantly got my team swapping links, ideas, discussing questions and creating their own mini-videos using their mobile phones, which they have found far more fun and motivating to actually do that the dreaded 'documentation'.
However, I am still an advocate of face-to-face whenever possible, even video conference or audio if used properly (right etiquette on speed, clarity, simplicity, length of presentation and careful listening to ensure understanding …) is better than any written tool as at least you can hear the tone of voice. Research tells us that we hear around 80% of the message in the other person's tone of voice, the words make up only 20% of the message, and we easily pick up when the tone doesn't match the words. A smart team member or manager will then diplomatically ask something like, 'Are you sure you are ok with this? I'm sensing something may be bothering you.' It may be an assumption but how many far worse assumptions do we make based on a few words in an email? And at least we can check.
As well as looking at the new tools available, I also looked back at some research into learning and communication I did over 10 years ago.
In 2004 I did some research into successful knowledge sharing across diverse groups within the IT function of a UK Building Society. I brought together Developers, Testers, Business Analysts, Service Support and Project Managers and inadvertently sparked a chain of learning/working activities which I now include in all my client projects, and will be able to combine with this new technology too.
We used an Action Research technique, where people from each specialist team came together for 3 half-day group sessions.
Session 1 - I introduced the project and proposed a set of questions for us to debate based on the objectives of my research project. These were refined by the group and discussed. I wrote up the initial findings
Session 2 - I presented these back to the group for a second round of discussion, then wrote up and shared the final findings and recommendations – my own and the groups'
Session 3 – Was at the invitation of the group – could we do a second round of discussion because, although the groups appreciated the findings, they LOVED the Action Research sessions themselves, where they talked to people from other teams. The knock-on effects were very useful indeed, as they had a new and strengthened network of people they could go to in the other teams to solve problems earlier and faster. They said they felt they were:
Though there was no specific instruction to do so, they started to run similar sessions themselves. Some used the techniques as a new way of running team meetings, others as part of project kick-off workshops or group working sessions on change programmes, with clear impact on project team working and delivery.
I am running a masterclass on ITSM Leadership on 29th October 2015 with Jean Gamester, and we will be exploring and demonstrating some of these techniques along with others so do join us if you are interested in this area. For more information or to book this masterclass please click here.

Epilogue – Version A
Snafu's Notes: Well, this is it. The Epilogue, or in some cases, the coda to Rise of the Emperor. There's two versions of the Epilogue, one called Version A, the other called Version B. The first is the official ending, while the other can be called an omake, or a twist (or a true ending), depending on your point of view. Version B was inspired by EroSlackerMicha. The Epilogue is short, so you have been warned.
[Excerpt from 'History of the Unified West.']
The Namikaze Dynasty would continue to rule the Unified West for many generations. Like the founder of the dynasty, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and his wife, Hinata Namikaze, the Emperors and their wives governed the people with a fair and just hand, refusing to surrender to the vices that had claimed so many other rulers. The values passed on from parent to child – selflessness, compassion, honor – guided the Namikaze Dynasty through countless trials, tragedies and triumphs.
Naruto Namikaze, banished from his original home, and have risen to prominence – first as a warlord, then the ruler – would rule as Emperor for twenty-five years alongside his wife before they decided to step down from their place as Emperor and Empress of the United West. Minato Namikaze and his wife, Makoto Namikaze – formerly a Suna Jounin – to take the throne as the second Emperor and Empress Consort of the Unified West. Like his father, Minato would show that he had been trained well. He would rule the Unified West under a fair and just hand, being a lover of truth and justice.
Despite not being in line for the throne, Moka Namikaze became the Damiyo of Spring Country. A talented healer and fighter, Moka was named the Fourth Fox Sage by her mother and Kitami Akashiya. Seeing as how she had a talent for acting and singing, Koyuki Kazahana – known by her stage name of Yukie Fujikaze – had taken Moka under her tutelage. By the time her elder brother had ascended the throne, Moka Namikaze Kazahana – having married Yukie's son Rajin Kazahana – was not only an accomplished warrior, entertainer and healer, but she would go on to rule Spring Country as its Damiyo, Rajin would command Spring Village as its kage.
Naruto and Hinata Namikaze would become known as 'Father and Mother of the Empire,' a title bestowed upon them in Naruto's sixteenth year as Emperor of the Unified West. It was also in this year, that the Emperor and Empress Consort would face their greatest challenge yet.
An army of missing-nin from the East, led by Hanabi Hyuuga. During the Imperial-Kumo-Iwa Invasion of Konohagakure, Hanabi Hyuuga, who was the sister to the Empress Consort opted to surrender to Kumo, but not before assassinating her father, clan head Hiashi Hyuuga and the council of elders. Hanabi had worked her way up the ranks by either seducing or assassinating the competition. Now, with an army of missing ninja under her command, she made her intentions clear. Her motives were based solely on revenge.
During this time, the Emperor had allowed the Uzumaki Clan that had been revived under his banner to return to Whirlpool Country to reestablish both the country and its shinobi village. Led by Godaime Uzukage Yahiko Uzumaki, Whirlpool Country was under the jurisdiction of the Unified West. Hanabi decided to target that while at the same time, attempt to kidnap Minato and Moka while the pair were attending a tournament in Tea Country.
The kidnapping failed, and the Emperor and Empress Consort personally intervened. The Imperial Defense Forces took to the field in Whirlpool Country. Hinata had slain her former sister, and the Imperial forces under the command of Naruto and Minato Namikaze decimated the army of missing-nins. With the ascension of Minato Namikaze, the exploits of his father and mother became legend. Naruto and Hinata Namikaze would go on to leave a series of instructions to their successors on how to rule. These instructions were mandatory reading for all heirs to the throne. What was said is now lost to history, but for all purposes, the advice was followed.
The Namikaze Dynasty would rule until the end of the Shinobi Age. No one knows the whereabouts of their descendants, but one thing is for certain. Their exploits will not be forgotten, as they are recorded in the annals of history. Their descendants have not died out, as they are still alive to this very day, unaware of the legacy that they contain. But as with all legends and tales, it is just waiting to be discovered.
Epilogue – Version B
"'The Namikaze Dynasty would rule until the end of the Shinobi Age. No one knows the whereabouts of their descendants, but one thing is for certain. Their exploits will not be forgotten, as they are recorded in the annals of history.'"
The speaker was a woman in her late twenties, early thirties. Her audience was a archeology class in Tokyo University. The woman was very voluptuous, her figure showing from her business suit and skirt combination, the pair of black heels on her feet. Short dark hair framed her face, the bangs covering one eye (ala Rosemary's MGS4 hairdo). Her uncovered lavender eye with pupil scanned the captivated audience.
"'Their descendants have not died out, as they are still alive to this very day, unaware of the legacy that they contain. But as with all legends and tales, it is just waiting to be discovered,'" she said as she closed the book from which she was reading from.
One of her students raised her hand. The professor acknowledged it with a nod. "Yes, Miyabi?"
A freshman student asked her question. "Professor Kujikawa, what happened to the refugees from Konoha? Did Emperor Namikaze make his peace with the Uchiha and Captain Hatake?"
The professor, one Mayumi Kujikawa, nodded. "He did. He made his peace with the Uchiha shortly after the refugees arrived in Kimon City. Hatake was a bit harder due to his favortism. But the Emperor was not a cold man. Stubborn, but he could not deny their redemption. As for the others...they married, had children to continue their family line...some of them died out, while others are like the Namikaze – still around to the present day."
A second student raised her hand. "Professor, how do you know so much about this subject?"
Kujikawa smiled. "I've been into ancient history for as long as I can remember. It's a passion of mine." She raised the book, which was titled History of the Unified West. The book itself was authored by both herself and her husband, who was a famous writer and lecturer of literature. Most people could not agree if it was fact or fiction. But what they did agree on was that it was a very good read.
"The ninja system in both East and West could not escape the changing times, and ended up collapsing," Kujikawa continued, "but the Namikaze Dynasty continued to rule, as they too changed with the times. In the end, it was not an uprising of the people that had brought the Namikaze Clan to ruin."
"So what was it?" Miyabi asked.
"Nature," Kujikawa replied. "Mother Nature herself. The Lahja Mountains were always a volatile region, but in the rein of the last Emperor, Naruto XII Namikaze, the Lahja Mountains erupted, which triggered a massive earthquake. Days later, the Unified West was engulfed in a tsunami, the land sinking into the ocean."
Kujikawa remembered that even all too well. Both her and her husband had assisted in the evacuation of the Imperial Capital, knowing well that the days of the Unified West were numbered. Aside from that, they also pilfered the Namikaze vaults underneath the Imperial Palace using several storage scrolls to seal up the chests of gold, but leaving more than enough cash to their clan, so that they can rebuild once again. They also took family heirlooms, jutsu scrolls and weapons that had been collected over the years.
The reason being? Mayumi Kujikawa was just an alias. One of many in her long life. Her birth name was Hinata Hyuuga, now Hinata Namikaze.
Before another student could ask a question, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. But more importantly, the end of the day. It was time to go home. As the students piled out of the classroom, Hinata sat down in a chair and took a moment to reflect. Her hand rubbed absently on the mark where Naruto had bit her on their wedding night. It was shortly thereafter that Kitami had taken both Naruto and Hinata to the side and explain the totality of the mark.
"As the both of you are mated, you will have fringe benefits. One of which is a long life. The Uzumaki were known for their long lifespans. When the both of you marked each other, that lifespan has increased a thousand fold."
Kitami. Last she heard, the Nine-Tails ran a curio shop in Hokkaido.
They had not aged a day over thirty, resorting to using henges to make themselves look older, or in some cases, relocate to a different area entirely. This was the seventh time that Naruto and Hinata were back in Japan, the last place they spent thirty years in was in Hong Kong, where their descendants from Moka's bloodline resided. Minato's bloodline resided in Japan, and one of them were in Hinata's class.
Of course, aside from Moka and Minato, Naruto and Hinata had countless children over the years. Some of their lines still existed, while others were extinct. Their daughter, Yumi, was a student in elementary school, a recent addition to the Namikaze bloodline. Over the thousands of years, Naruto and Hinata had many occupations from assassin to damiyo to shogun to businessman. It was only recently that Naruto decided to write his memoirs, of which Hinata had been reading to the class.
As for the other Jinchuuriki, they were still alive as well. Utakata, they had left while he was in Hong Kong. Roshi and Han were in Okinawa, Yugito had settled in Seoul, Gaara made his home in the Mojave Desert, posing as an insane survivalist, Bee was somewhere in South America, and Fu made her home in England.
Gathering her things and placing them into a shoulder bag, Hinata had decided that she had spent enough time walking down Memory Lane. Her husband was waiting for her.
Tokyo University – Campus
He stood in the midst of the students as they walked past him. Six feet tall, with undisciplined reddish hair (ala Chris' RE5 hairdo), blue eyes, his muscular frame hidden underneath the black longcoat and dark business suit. It was winter and the Christmas holidays had just begun. The cold had never really bothered him, being a former Jinchuuriki.
He was known as Takeshi Kujikawa to most people. A respected professor of literature here at Todai, as well as an accomplished writer. But to a select few, he was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
Naruto didn't have to wait long for his wife to make her presence known. Bundled up in her own overcoat and scarf, shoulder bag slung over one shoulder, Hinata Namikaze approached her husband with a smile on her face. "Been waiting long, love?"
"Nah. Just got here, Hime. Ready?" he asked, extending his arm out.
Hinata responded by slipping her arm through Naruto's own. The couple then walked off, until they were just another couple heading home for the holidays. Maybe one day, the Emperor will rise once again to lead, but now, he was just a family man ready to spend the holidays with his wife and daughter.
The legacy of the Namikaze Clan will continue.
Snafu's Notes: With that, Rise of the Emperor is officially complete. Took me less than two months to complete this story, and I am happy to see that it has been received with such praise. I wish Evangelion Gear, Pride Comes Before The Fall and several others would have received so many reviews, but oh well. With this complete, I can resume work on Resident Evil: A Change In Pace and several other pieces of fanfiction that I've placed on hold.
This is Snafu the Great, signing off.

So I am trying to eliminate as much spam as possible from users inboxes. I enabled TWO RBL's: SORBS and SpamCop. We primarily use our Fortigate for filtering. It catches most, but not enough for me to be satisfied (enough to make me think it's a joke of a filter that we pay for). SORBS was fantastic, the number of spam emails reported to me decreased tenfold. However, I worked in web hosting so I know SORBS randomly blacklists IPs for no reason, however, they catch a ton of legit bad traffic. However, because there are a lot of people who do abuse email and SPAM from their servers (or appears they do), they get blocked. So we had to disable the RBL's because it was blocking legit traffic and now the spam being reported to me has gone back up tenfold.
What is a legit filter we can use? Or is there to adjust weights in Exchange 2010 so it can go to their junk email and not be blocked?

Have you checked out appriver? We do offer a free 30 day trial before you have to even put in a credit card.
I truly believe no matter what route you go, any offsite spam filter is better then at your location.
There are some great spam filter companies out there and Appriver is just one of them.
Im trying to drive and type, so I'm gonna make it short
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:07 UTC
We use Appriver here - no, it's not a native part of Exchange (or even something I manage inside my network) but it cleans up the spam like a boss. Anything new that we get that needs to be blocked we just forward straight to them and viola! it's blocked after no more than 24 hours. Also, we can go in and "release" emails that it traps and we can add people to the safe-sender's list so we have pretty granular control over it. I think they're even a partner here so you might look into what that costs vs. how much time is being wasted fighting spam on your own.
I'm also pretty sure there's ways to do what you want to, but I'd go consult Microsoft and see what they say about it :-)
EDIT - He beat me to it!

We have been using a Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall for several years and I love the performance. I think they have a web based service if you don't want to do the applicance thing. I typically see about 1-2 junk messages/user/day getting thru. Not perfect but I will take it. I took some interaction setting up the Baysian filtration but after it was set we have been virtually spam free for about three years.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:08 UTC
I use SpamAssassin (but without Exchange) - http:/
Maybe you could setup a SpamAssassin machine in front of your Exchange Server or use this: http:/
Maybe helpful: http:/

We have been very happy with McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity (http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/saas-email-protection-and-continuity.aspx).%C2%A0; We switched to it about 2 years ago after many years of running an internal combination of spamassassin, mailscanner, and clamav. I've been pretty pleased with its filtering and usability. I also like that it spools mail in the event of an outage.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:12 UTC
I use Barracuda's filter, and am pretty happy in the amount it catches, the small number of false positives, ease of use, and it also has been very handy in that it retains inbound email for a bit, so if someone accidently deleted the email, or can't find it, I can pretty easily find it and re-queue it.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:12 UTC
+1 for the Barracuda.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:14 UTC
Still with barracuda because it is by far the cheapest solution, and very little issues.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:14 UTC
untangle here http://www.untangle.com performs well with very few false positives.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:17 UTC
We use an external company here in Kansas City (GMSI) - We route our email to them via DNS - for two reasons - they take the brunt of the work to filter out spam and second reason is:
If our Messaging Services go down for any reason, they queue the messages until we are back up.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:36 UTC
Brand Representative for AppRiver
OK, Made it to work now
Bob is correct and the reason i say an offsite filter company is better then on site.
An offsite company will filter all the mail and send your mail server only the clean mail. It doesn't slow your connection down as when you have an onsite box, all the spam and stuff still has to come to your network and then it filters it out, but its still using your connection before it gets to your box.
Here is a link to some good offsite spam filter services companies.
I can say the AppRiver is one of the best, but Postini was good before they got bought out by google, and MX logic is good.
If you want to at least try AppRiver, let me know, we can have it turned on in a matter of minutes and you can try it for 30 days before you even have to decided if you want to keep it or not. No contacts, no Credit card needed.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:42 UTC
Xinsto is an IT service provider.
I have been looking at Barracuda for some time and I do want to push for it (I've been pushing it towards our executives). I might try to see if they will ship us a 30 day eval unit.
For those of you who have one, how good is it at stopping those fake emails from UPS, USPS/Royal Mail claiming that you have a package that can't be delivered, "open this attachment for more details"? Because I have plenty of users, no matter who I tell it's a fake, they always run the virus THEN ask if it was a virus...
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:42 UTC
i use postfix/amavis/spamassassin/clamd front ends. does a pretty good job, especially considering it's free. takes a bit of configuration via command line, but well worth it in my opinion.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:46 UTC
We use watchguard and have it filter in front of exchange (2007).
Jan 16, 2012 at 10:01 UTC
Postini is great. Its a service that takes your mail, scans it before even delivering it to you company.
The best part about postini is if your internet connection goes down, postini will queue all of the messages and deliver them to your exchange server when it comes back up.
Jan 16, 2012 at 10:39 UTC
+1 Postini
Jan 16, 2012 at 10:54 UTC
We use Google Postini with Google Message Continuity.
Does a decent job and the dual delivery is a handy bandaid if the exch server dies.
Jan 16, 2012 at 12:05 UTC
I've been a happy user of Greenview Data's spam filtering service for years.
Affordable, extremely low false positives (as in I have never yet seen one), rock-solid stable service, and excellent support.
(Plus all the same advantages as Postini)
Jan 16, 2012 at 12:44 UTC
If you want, you can try using a couple different RBLs in your current configuration. In addition to the proprietary screening provided by our offsite spam filtering service provider, we use SpamCop and the Spamhaus Zen list: http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/
Barracuda also has their own RBL that is available for use to the public (whether or not you have one of their appliances): http://www.barracudacentral.org/rbl
That said, we rely mostly on the capabilities of the offsite spam filtering service, and that service comes with a lot of advantages.
You add a layer of network security by blocking spam and virus emails before they reach your network. You will reduce the workload on your server since it won't need to scan and categorize all of those emails. You can also lock down your firewall to only accept email from your filtering provider, which will further reduce the vulnerability of your network and make your Exchange box less susceptible to attack.
And, as previously mentioned, if your server/site experiences an outage, all incoming emails can be spooled up at your spam filtering provider.
On a somewhat related note, what are you using for antivirus protection in your environment? Some antivirus software vendors offer offsite spam filtering service as part of a current support/maintenance agreement.
Jan 17, 2012 at 3:20 UTC
For exchange 2010 we use http://www.exclaimer.com/products/anti-spam/default.aspx and to be fair, we've found it very effective for a cheap alternative - in fact it stops 99% of spam usign the standard set up.
We also use their disclaimer software and together it's an easy to manage solution.
to be honest haven't tried anything else so can't compare
Jan 17, 2012 at 5:13 UTC
We've used Vamsoft ORF Enterprise Edition for the last 4 or 5 years with great success. It doesn't remove 100%, but fairly close. I also haven't had to make many changes to the out of the box product.
Jan 17, 2012 at 6:20 UTC
Over the years I've used MessageLabs, MXLogic and Microsoft FOPE (Forefront Online Protection for Exchange).
MessageLabs was one of the first external services in the market and they did a great job, but were very expensive back then.
MXLogic was half the cost, but did a great job as well.
MS FOPE can be included with an Enterprise Agreement making it very cost effective. It does a good job preventing spam and viruses from entering the networking, but I've found the reporting a little lacking.
Jan 17, 2012 at 6:40 UTC
My company uses Postini which works really well. It stops about 99.999% of spam before it ever hits our exchange server, not to mention it does AV protection as well. It's super easy to setup and administer and makes it very simple to lock down exchange to only recieve SMTP traffic from the google mail servers.

At 100% you're at the very edge with little room for error, you get tired quicker, and you end up making mistakes. Why do you think Rossi never panics if he's not leading? Why do you think he rides in 2nd place just tailing the leader? If he can keep up with the leader at 95%, when he needs to push, he has that extra 5% reserve. 10 agree 0 disagree

"For decades EdTech has been used to strengthen the human effort to generate meaningful learning. ET Staff have been hired to install audiovisual resources in classrooms, but not to facilitate learning and improve performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. It's unfortunate that in 2017 the education system still make the same mistakes of the past with cinematography radio, television, video, CD-ROM and proprietary software. Nowadays, with the emergence of micro-computers, iPads and smart mobile phones connected to digital networks, the education system has invested millions of dollars equipping the classrooms in public schools with network infrastructure. But the biggest mistake that they are making is the incorporation of digital resources to complement the traditional teaching-learning process.
"Students come to the classroom or laboratory to take notes of the linear narratives of their professors in order to study them for the next exam. Students should use their computers only to access the digital content, search for information or answer their questions. This is an example of how convergent technology is used only for lower cognitive thinking in the classroom."

I invite you to read my first article in English language. I'll be waiting for your comments and inputs on this interesting topic.
"A study being released today shows that grades are going up in high schools -- in ways that may raise issues for college admissions systems that rely on high school grade point averages. The study also shows that many schools -- especially those educating wealthier students -- are no longer calculating or releasing class ranks, potentially making it more difficult to compare students in an era of grade inflation.
"The study finds that the gains in high school GPA raise questions about the ability of colleges to rely on the statistics in college admissions. Further, the study finds that grade inflation in high schools has been most pronounced at high schools with students who are wealthier than average -- and where most students are white.
"The study, released today, will be a chapter in Measuring Success: Testing, Grades and the Future of College Admissions, to be published next year by Johns Hopkins University Press. The two authors of the study are Michael Hurwitz, senior director at the College Board, and Jason Lee, a doctoral student at the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia."

There's no discounting the importance of the first day of class. What happens that day sets the tone for the rest of the course. Outlined below are a few novel activities for using that first day of class to emphasize the importance of learning and the responsibility students share for shaping the classroom environment.
Higher ed wants to see data used to predict whether or not a particular intervention or engagement will be helpful and welcome to students.
"While educational standards may differ from school to school there is one thing that is always nearly the same: the classroom set out. Desks are arranged in rows or groups, and the teacher stands at the front and teach. This set out has changed very little in a hundred years even with all the technological advancements that have been made. Edtech not only changes the way that children learn but changes the way they interact with one another, the classroom space and their teacher."
The White House has proposed cutting 25 percent of SNAP's budget – about US$193 billion – over the next decade.
SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, though it's more widely known by its pre-2008 name, food stamps. This program helps about 44 million people per month buy food. Last year, the government spent $71 billion in total on the program.
SNAP serves the most vulnerable in our society, for whom a little money means a lot. According to the Congressional Budget Office, cuts to SNAP will likely have a major impact on the individuals who were hurt most by the recent recession.
As research from myself and many others shows, food assistance can have far-ranging impacts on a person's health and well-being.
There's a perception that children don't kill themselves, but that's just not true. A new report shows that, for the first time, suicide rates for U.S. middle school students have surpassed the rate of death by car crashes.
The suicide rate among youngsters ages 10 to 14 has been steadily rising, and doubled in the U.S. from 2007 to 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2014, 425 young people 10 to 14 years of age died by suicide.
We've been reporting about the role that schools and school staff play in addressing students' mental health.
"For educators in the present-day context of a neoliberal assault on the very idea of schooling as a public good, Freire's opus resonates even more keenly. When faux-reformers see curricula as "deliverables" and student learning as a "product," when schools themselves are reduced to commodities like different brands of consumer goods, Freire's repudiation of instrumentalist logic assumes a fierce new relevance. In an era where elites seem to view the basic humanity of so many of the world's residents as a proposition open to debate, to assert the agency and worth of all of our students can be an act of revolutionary praxis for educators. Perhaps the best evidence of the revolutionary nature of Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed is in how much it still has to teach us."
Via Audrey Watters
Jim Lerman's insight:
A profound appreciation of Freire for those confronting the cultural warfare in public education today. Author Paul Gannon makes a real attempt to construct the rarified language of pedagogical/revolutionary discourse in terms that can be usefully navigated by those unaccustomed to this terrain.

Project work challenges students to think beyond the boundaries of the classroom, helping them develop the skills, behaviors, and confidence necessary for success in the 21st-century. Designing learning environments that help students question, analyze, evaluate, and extrapolate their plans, conclusions, and ideas, leading them to higher–order thinking, requires feedback and evaluation that goes beyond a letter or number grade. The term "authentic assessment" is used to describe assessment that evaluates content knowledge as well as additional skills like creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation.
Authentic assessment documents the learning that occurs during the project-building process and considers the real-world skills of collaboration, problem solving, decision making, and communication. Since project work requires students to apply knowledge and skills throughout the project-building process, you will have many opportunities to assess work quality, understanding, and participation from the moment students begin working.

Plotting the story – a common stumbling block for even the most seasoned storyteller. The options seem endless. But what if there were just 7 universal plots underpinning all stories? What if finding the right one could bring your message alive and captivate your audience every time?
"In The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories, Christopher Booker explains how our best-loved stories throughout history fall into only 7 distinct story types. He follows in a long line of theorists who have tried to explain why storytelling is such a universally powerful means of communication.

Kim Newman cites the work of author Amy Blankson in this article that focuses on the best practices we can follow in avoiding digital addiction.
The average monthly rent for an apartment in Chicago is $1,770, according to real-estate website Zillow.
"If you were to take a recently advertised position at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and take an apartment at the average rate, you'd have about $600 left over after paying rent each month, not including money that goes to taxes or food.
"The position in question is described as a "visiting lecturer-German basic language program director for AY 2017-2018." The position is listed with a preference for a candidate holding a Ph.D., and one with experience in language direction experience, although those still working on their dissertations are welcome to apply.
"And it pays $28,000 a year.
"The job is billed as a "67 percent" position, meaning it's not quite a full workload. But based on the work description, some are calling that into question, as well as the salary for a position based in a major city."
I once had a student who taught himself how to code by playing around with Scratch when he was in the sixth grade. With the help of a teacher who mentored him along the way, he was the first child in his family to graduate high school. And now, he's working on a master's degree in engineering.
"He had a maker mindset.
"But I also taught students with immense talent who never pursued their dreams because they were waiting for an invitation that never came. They were compliant and well-behaved, but they weren't self-starters. They were adept at the art of filling out packets but they didn't know how to solve problems or design products. So, they continued for years, waiting for an offer that never materialized.
"Making Isn't a "Soft Skill"
"I believe that creative thinking is as vital as math or reading or writing. There's power in problem-solving and experimenting and taking things from questions to ideas to authentic products that you launch to the world. Something happens in students when they define themselves as makers and inventors and creators."
Education is at a crossroads, and it's becoming more and more clear that a full reimagination of school is now needed to best prepare our children for a fast-changing, globally-networked world of learning, work, and life.

"We used CB Insights data to identify 90+ of the most well-funded private companies working specifically on ed tech and divided them into the 14 main categories in which they operate."
"It could be argued—and probably argued well—that what a student fundamentally needs to know today isn't much different than what Tom Sawyer or Joan of Arc or Alexander the Great needed to know."
I wish we had a class in digital literacy, because these 63 points could be the bedrock of the curriculum. In the meantime, I will be sharing this list with my Library Advisory Board. I'd love to see them develop short videos for our TV news on specific topics or infographics to display in the library.
"More girls than ever took an AP computer-science exam this year, Seattle nonprofit Code.org announced Tuesday, calling the results "incredible."
"Code.org crunched the numbers from the AP College Board, which shows that 29,708 girls in the U.S. took an Advanced Placement computer science exam this year, more than double the number from 2016.
"Girls made up about 27 percent of the 111,262 students who took an AP computer-science exam in 2017.
"The number of minorities underrepresented in the tech industry — black, Latinx and Native American — who took the exam nearly tripled from last year, reaching 22,199 students this year. That was about 20 percent of the total."
"A love for avocado lattes and Snapchat filters are just a few of the stereotypes following Millennials these days. But students are now pushing back on these generational generalizations, noting that assumptions regarding their attitudes, hobbies, and abilities are hurting them academically. One of the biggest misconceptions students at last week's New Media Consortium's Summer Conference (NMC) brought up was the idea that millennials are digital natives.
"Most people have heard this story before: the eight-year-old son teaching his forty-year-old dad how to use some new device or app. However, despite being an allegory of our times, a lot has been said off-the-record about misconceptions regarding students' technological abilities. In an interview with EdSurge, Alexandra Pickett, the Director of New York State University's Center for Online Teaching Excellence, noted that many of her students know how to use online platforms such as Twitter and Facebook for fun, but have no idea how to leverage them for academic and professional use. It's a point the students at NMC echoed."
"I want to affirm that getting people connected at the beginning of a meeting is essential for creating an openness and willingness to challenge. Peter Block has influenced my thinking on this issue. He always says, "Connection before Content." If a group is going to concentrate on a difficult issue, they need to learn who others are, the skills they bring, the experience they represent, and the values they hold. Stasser, who studies group performance, notes, "Group performance increases when everyone in a group is aware of each other member's expertise." But unfortunately, icebreakers, like those I've listed above, don't accomplish that that goal.
"Happily there are alternatives to icebreakers that effectively build connections between members of a group. I will suggest five that I use, but first I want to share my rules of thumb for designing an activity that creates connection, because the rules of thumb are much more important than the specific activity you choose."

She comes from a limestone workshop in Crete; as you might imagine, limestone is a lot easier to carve than marble - but, being softer, abrades easily. At some point, obviously, she made the pleasant voyage north by the Rhone or the Via Agrippa perhaps to the Gallo-Roman community where she was retrieved over a thousand years later.
She was found in the lovely French village of Auxerre, a place worth the detour, even if the piece has long since been taken up by the Louvre. In fact, she was found in the storage vault of the museum of that little Burgundian village, where Chablis comes from, in the early part of the 20th century. I can imagine the chagrin of the local officials when the Louvre curator who found her there in the back room of the museum, packed her up again, and shipped her off to the Louvre-where she in fact belongs.
The hand is too big, see? It is a gesture - the hand or hands to the breast - found widely all over the Ancient Near East and beyond and extends back throughout the Neolithic. It is especially associated with what are called "Mother Goddesses." Often the hand is extended - presumably this would be the case in votive offerings - to greet the god with some gift. It may be that the closed gesture signifies this is a goddess rather than an actual votive.
But the large hand is a puzzle. I think if the sculptor had been used to making a votive, with extended hand, he might have felt a larger hand would do the job better. But, why enlarge the hand to the breast? It exaggerates not only the hand, but the gesture, calling attention to itself as an expression.
The style, a variant of the Archaic style, is known as Orientalizing because of the features which derive from outside of Greece, mostly from back East, as they say.
In any case, she's a charmer, with those patterned locks and that huge right hand she holds, in that characteristic gesture, up to herself. Like similar Daedalic figures, she is best apprehended in full frontal gaze, but she has a graceful back as well. Her gown is etched with patterning, and was originally painted.
There is clear evidence that the Greeks were learning from the Egyptians about stone carving. A comparison is interesting. The Greek work here is still more primitive than the Egyptian, whose female figure is made visible with legs and hips pressing against the fabric of the skirt. Both emerge from stone blocks which have not lost their cubic character, and both have stylized, wig-like hair. Our kore, however, is, unlike Egyptian statuary, completely freestanding. Her arms are separated from her body, so that we can see, and even appreciate the shapes of the space through.
She presents a fine example of the "archaic smile," typical of sculptures from this period of both men and women. William Harris, writing about Sappho, one of the greatest poets in the world, has this to say about the archaic smile:
If you go to a museum and stand before a statue with the Archaic Smile, you can stare at it for several minutes without moving your eyes, until the face becomes normalized and familiar. Then eventually your eyes will blink, and you will see in a flash the statue smiling back at you. I have done this many times to test it out, and it the imaginative animation of the archaic smile really does take place. But it works, then the question arises, why did the sculptural "smile" disappear in later Greek sculpture? I suspect it was may have been overused and became an automatic feature of ordinary temple stonework. Or it may have scared children and some believers who feared a moving stone face. But it disappeared over one generation, and that sudden a vanishing cannot have been an sculptural accidentI am not certain. I am as willing to believe that the archaic smile derives from sculptors finding a ready way to give a face a mouth. Because it was easy, and because this is traditional art, they kept doing it. I do like the smile, though, and I enjoy Harris's way with it.
Another manifestation of the archaic smile is the superb book of poems by A.E. Stallings.

Clean Your Whole House for Under $60!You don't need to spend a fortune to get your house clean, or hire a maid or two. All it takes is simple determination and careful planning! Sometimes, all your necessary implements are right there to clean your home, however...if you would like spend money on something that will tremendously help you, you might want to consider a canister vacuum.
Canister Vacuums, Why?
Canister vacuums are excellent tools that provide plenty of cleaning options around the home. Not only can they pick up dirt and debris from the carpet, but they can also reach into upholstery and other fabrics with ease. They are easier to push than uprights and can reach places that uprights would have trouble cleaning, such as stairs or deep crevices in your closet. The manner of a canister vacuum is simple and it is typically flexible enough to use all throughout the home.
No Carpet, No Problem!
Canister vacuums can still suck up debris and dirt from hardwood or solid surfaces. Home owners with cats may see that their precious Persian might have kicked out too much dust and litter. Or you might have just spilled a lot of cereal on the kitchen counter. Perhaps your drapes need serious dusting but you don't want to spread the dirt all over the place. Upright vacuums and other implements may not be able to have the range or reach of a canister, and cleaning can be easier with a canister vacuum!
Great Mobility
Canister vacuums are very maneuverable and are typically lightweight. Some models can be slung over the shoulder and used like a backpack vacuum, allowing you to vacuum on the stairs or in places where space is limited. Upright vacuums may be easier to vacuum whole ranges of carpet, however their vacuum heads are typically not much bigger from vacuum heads on a canister vacuum. Canister vacuums also have flexible hoses which can reach and bend around where other vacuums cannot.
What to Look For
Canister vacuums have an array of specifications. Many consumers search for suction control and onboard tools to help clean the whole home. Some models offer blowing functions that can be used outdoors to blow away leaves or other light obstructions like spilt glitter or ash. Some vacuums also offer HEPA filtration, which ensures that your home is free from particles that may cause illness. Although canister vacuums may need dust bags, others may use a cyclonic action suction system that allows it to be bagless. Consider these options when you are purchasing your canister vacuum. If you are not sure of what to check for in a vacuum, this comprehensive vacuum guide can help you make an educated decision on which canister vacuum may be best for you.
Suggested Products
The following is a list of products based on availability and pricing, and most importantly, quality! Here at Vacuum Home we carry only the finest products to ensure that your cleaning experience is the best it can be.

|Dirt Devil 082660 Vision

|Eureka 6833B Boss
|This vacuum has a motorized power nozzle that is great for carpets as well as bare surfaces. It also features an allergen micron filter to help reduce symptoms of allergies.
Taking Care of Your Canister Vacuum
After purchasing and using your canister vacuum, maintaining and cleaning it will ensure that it will last many years. Turn it off before you pull the vacuum's plug. Don't leave your vacuum on unnecessarily. Periodically check its beater brush and filters, as well as its hoses. A stick offers a simple solution to clean out its hose if there are any obstructions. And always remember to replace your dust bag or empty your dust cup when it is at full capacity for optimal performance.
Safe, Secure Shopping
Vacuum Home is rated as a trusted store from the following online authority sites:

When Matt Williamson took his son to be circumcised, he found a problem – not with the procedure itself, but the cost. His local hospital did not reveal the price ahead of time and charged him more than $3,000 for the procedure.
This is yet another example of the lack of transparency in medical pricing. Hospitals charging much more for routine tests and procedures is a fact, showing how little price competition there is in the medical marketplace. Patients with high-deductible plans have plenty of incentive to shop around to find a good price. Growing competition for lab work and scans has prompted hospitals to increasingly lower their cash prices to below what is billed to insurance companies.
The average price for a hospital circumcision is $2,000. Many insurance plans say the procedure is elective and won't cover it. The procedure can be done within 10 days of birth, and the health benefits outweigh any risks. At UCLA, the billed price for circumcision is $1,205, while the cash price is $844. A Culver City clinic called Gentle Circumcision has the all-inclusive price of $175, handling about 20 babies each day. They charge for the doctor's time and any supplies – nothing else. The methods are the same as at the hospital, but there is a lot less overhead.
Williamson challenged the circumcision cost, requesting a lower price, but his appeal was denied. There is a wide range of prices out there for all procedures, so it is very important to shop around if you have a high deductible insurance plan.

Gordon scores 37 as Bulls beat NuggetsFeb 23, 2008 - 5:33 AM CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Ben Gordon scored 37 points as the new-look Chicago Bulls surprised the Denver Nuggets with a shorthanded, 135-121, victory on Friday.
Andres Nocioni scored a season-high 21 points for the Bulls, who closed out the first half on a 13-0 run for a season-best 68 points at the break.
Denver was paced by J.R. Smith's career-high 43 points, including seven 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Allen Iverson also finished with 29 points and nine assists for the Nuggets, who had no answer for the hot-shooting Bulls.
"How about the new-look Chicago Bulls?" Bulls interim coach Jim Boylan said. "It was like an old Pittsburgh Condors-Virginia Squires game. There was not a lot of defense being played out there."
Smith's barrage of 3-pointers helped close a 23-point second-half deficit down to just four in the fourth quarter.
"It was one of those days where I just couldn't miss," Smith said. "It's too bad that it was not enough to get us the 'W'."
After Smith's shot from the arc made it 111-107 with just seven minutes to play, Gordon scored 10 points - including two 3-pointers - on the Bulls' 15-3 run to put the game out of reach.
"I had a good rhythm going tonight," Gordon said. "I just tried to take my shot when I was open and I tried to stay aggressive."
Chicago only suited up 11 as the four new players acquired in Thursday's three-team trade with the Seattle SuperSonics and Cleveland Cavaliers were not eligible.
"We slept through Chicago," Smith said. "We thought after the trade and missing some guys that they would not come out as hard. They proved us wrong."
The Bulls were missing forwards Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons, and guards Larry Hughes and Shannon Brown, who were all part of the 11-player deal involving former Bulls center Ben Wallace on Thursday.
Both clubs started the second half trading baskets, then Chicago pulled away - opening its biggest lead at 92-69 with 5:49 left in the third quarter.
The Bulls still held a 101-87 edge after three periods before the Nuggets started their comeback behind Smith.
"You don't expect J.R. Smith to hit 43 points, but he had a big game," Boylan said. "In the end, our guys stepped up and continued to hit big shots and help us get this win."
"This is what happens when (you) don't respect the opponent," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "We made some runs to comeback but the holes we had to dig out of were just too big."
Tyrus Thomas had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Kirk Hinrich added 16 and 14 assists for Chicago, which had lost eight of its previous 12 contests.
"This game was a lot of fun," Hinrich said. "I don't think we have played that well in this building all season long."

The Grey Woman's Curse was made by the Ra'Shari Grey Woman against the Prince Hassan and his descendants, who later would be known as the Children of the Mountain. [1] They bore marks, twisted features, internal deformities, or were slow minded, among others. [2]
End of the Curse Edit
In 1132 during the events of the Awakening one of the leaders of the Assassins, Haroun, gathered the male members of the Order and made a suicidal attack against the Senpet Garrison at Medinaat al-Salaam. This day the lineage of the Old Man was no more. [3] His undead daugther, Fatima, stabbed the Old Man in the back, killing him and ending the curse. [4] The Grey woman sent the Old Man's Owl with a card in its beak to Adira, the Old Man's adopted daughter, as a message that the curse had finished. [5]
