The 9th season of KBC will go live on 28th August 2017.
Shooting for the same has started few months back, with the momentum building up every day.
Contestants from India participate in the game show hosted by Shri Amitabh Bachchan, where they are asked questions based on their knowledge of general topics in order to win the grand prize. KBC has completed 8 seasons with Shri Amitabh Bachchan playing host for majority of the seasons.
"KBC" first aired in 2000 and was hosted by Shri Amitabh Bachchan. It also marked his first appearance on Indian television.
The actor went on to host the second season of the show which went on air in 2005.
Season three was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. Bachchan made a comeback in front of "computer ji" with the fourth season and has been serving as the anchor since then.
KBC is back after a two-year bread. SET has been able to lock in three sponsors even before the launch of the show. The channel has got on board Reliance Jio as the presenting sponsor while the series is being co-powered by Vivo Cameras and Mobile and Ching's Secret.
The highlights of KBC from a Payment angle, is the writing of the PAYMENT ADVICE by Shri Amitabh Bachchan to the contestant after every round.
At this moment, it would be a great boost to Safe ePayments in India, if Shri Amitabh Bachchan can provide nuggets on Safe eTransactions.

Sexually dimorphic differentiation of gonads is accomplished through balanced interactions between positive and negative regulators. One of the earliest features of gonadal differentiation is the divergent patterning of the vasculature. A male-specific coelomic vessel develops on the anterior to posterior of the XY gonad, whereas this vessel is absent in XX gonads. It is postulated that the testis-determining gene Sry controls formation of the coelomic vessel, but the exact molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here we reveal a novel role for inhibin beta B in establishing sex-specific gonad vasculature. In the testis, inhibin beta B contributes to proper formation of the coelomic vessel, a male-specific artery critical for testis development and, later in development, hormone transportation. On the other hand, in the ovary, inhibin beta B is repressed by WNT4 and its downstream target follistatin, leading to the absence of the coelomic vessel. When either Wnt4 or follistatin was inactivated, the coelomic vessel appeared ectopically in the XX ovary. However, when inhibin beta B was also removed in either the Wnt4-null or follistatin-null background, normal ovarian development was restored and no coelomic vessel was found. Our results indicate that the sex-specific formation of the coelomic vessel is established by positive components in the testis as well as an antagonizing pathway from the ovary. Inhibin beta B is strategically positioned at the intersection of these opposing pathways.
In eutherian mammals, sex determination of the gonad is a dominant process controlled by Sry (sex-determining region of the Y chromosome; see review in [1]). Sry acts through Sox9 (Sry-related HMG-box gene 9 [2–4]) to initiate specification of different somatic cell lineages, organization of the testis structure, and production of male hormones. In the absence of Sry, or when Sry is mutated [5–7], the gonadal primordium follows the alleged "default" pathway and develops into an ovary. However, in some human and animal cases, testes arise in XX individuals without the presence of Sry, leading to an alternative hypothesis that the testis pathway is default and normally suppressed in the ovary by an antitestis "Z" factor [8]. In the testis, SRY inhibits the Z factor and therefore allows the progression of the testis pathway. This putative Z factor has yet to be identified, and current evidence strongly favors the idea that SRY acts as a positive regulator responsible for triggering the entire spectrum of testis organization.
Signaling components downstream of SRY have gradually emerged and molecular connections between these components and cellular events in testis organogenesis have been established based on testis phenotypes in gene knockout models [9–17]. A useful approach to identify novel players in the process of gonadal development is to examine XX embryos with mutations that lead to the appearance of testis structure in ovaries. In conjunction with others, we have discovered that null mutations of either Wnt4 or follistatin (Fst) result in the ectopic appearance of the testis-specific coelomic vessel in XX gonads [18–20]. The coelomic vessel, a testis-specific artery [21], plays a critical role in patterning of testis cords and later in hormone transportation. In the XY gonad, the coelomic vessel forms immediately after the expression of Sry, whereas in the XX gonad, WNT4 and FST inhibit formation of the coelomic vessel. When this inhibition is removed, because of the absence of Wnt4 or Fst, the coelomic vessel arises ectopically in the XX gonad [20, 22]. Epistatic analysis shows that Fst expression requires the presence of Wnt4 [20]. Aberrant expression of Wnt4 in humans and mice affects normal testis differentiation [22–24]. Furthermore, similar phenotypes have been observed in a human XX patient with a mutation in the WNT4 gene [25] and in Wnt4 knockout mice [18], indicating a conserved role of Wnt4 in female differentiation [18]. This evidence clearly demonstrates that WNT4 and FST antagonize formation of the testis-specific coelomic vessel in the XX gonad. However, the molecular mechanisms for this suppression remain unknown.
To understand how the testis vasculature is suppressed in the XX gonad and simultaneously established in the XY gonad, we began searching for potential targets of WNT4 and FST. In this report, we identify a connection of inhibin beta B (Inhbb) to the WNT4/FST pathway in the sexually dimorphic establishment of vasculature in mouse gonads. We demonstrate genetically that testis-specific vasculature is prevented from forming in the embryonic ovary through the actions of WNT4 and FST. Additionally, activin B, a homodimer of INHBB, is able to induce ectopic testis vasculature formation in the embryonic ovary and acts with other factors to establish defined vasculature in the normal course of testis development.
Wnt4−/− mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (strain 129-Wnt4tm1Amc). Double knockout mice were generated by first crossing Wnt4+/− [18] or Fst+/− [26] to Inhbb+/− [27] to yield double heterozygotes. The heterozygotes were then mated to produce double knockouts. Genotypes were determined by PCR. Timed matings were produced by housing female mice with males overnight and checking for vaginal plugs the next morning (Embryonic Day [E]0.5 =noon of the day when a vaginal plug was found). The sex of each embryo was determined by PCR for the Sry gene. All procedures described within were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, and were performed in accordance with the Guiding Principles for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
Samples were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 4°C and then processed for either the whole mount procedure or frozen sectioning [28]. For whole mount immunocytochemistry, samples were washed in PBS for 10 min and blocked in blocking solution (10% heat-inactivated donkey serum and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS) for 1 h at room temperature. A rabbit polyclonal antibody against anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH; 1:200; Santa Cruz) and a rat polyclonal antibody against PECAM1 (1:500; Pharmingen) were added to the blocking solution and samples were incubated overnight at 4°C. Samples were then washed three times for 10 min each in washing solution (1% heat inactivated donkey serum and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS) followed by incubation in the blocking solution with the secondary antibodies (FITC-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit and Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-rat antibodies, 1:200; Jackson Immunochemicals). Samples were washed three times for 10 min each in washing solution and mounted for confocal microscopy. For section immunocytochemistry, frozen samples were sectioned to 10 μm thick, dried on poly-lysine-treated slides, and followed the same staining procedure as the whole mount samples.
Samples were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 4°C and processed according to the standard nonradioisotopic procedure using a digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe for Inhbb [29].
Genital ridges (gonad + mesonephros) from E11.5 embryos were obtained for organ culture. To determine the sex of E11.5 embryos, we used a staining method [30] to detect the presence of XX-specific Barr bodies in the amnion of individual embryos. Genital ridges were cultured for 48 h on a 1.5% agar block in Dulbecco's minimal Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Hyclone) and 50 ug/ml ampicillin at 37° C with 5% CO2/95% air. Affi-Gel Blue Gel (100–200 mesh wet; Bio-Rad, #153-7302) was soaked in human activin B (200 ng/μl in PBS; R & D) or PBS (control) for 1 h at 37°C before being added to the top of the gonadal explant. Approximately 15 beads were added to the top of each gonadal explant.
Gonads without mesonephroi attached were isolated from embryos at E12.5. Wild-type XY gonads were distinguished from XX gonads by morphological characteristics (formation of testis cords and vasculature). Fifteen to twenty pairs of gonads of each sex were pooled and total RNA was isolated using the Trizol method. A ribosomal RNA, 36B4, was used for normalization. PCR primers include Inhbb-forward, 5′-TATGTCCTGGA-GAAGGGCAGC-3′; Inhbb-reverse, 5′-GCGATGTCTGCTATCGCCCAG-3′; 36B4-forward, 5′-CGACCTGGAAGTCCAACTAC-3′; and 36B4-reverse, 5′-ATCTGCTGCATCTGCTTG-3′. Complementary DNA was diluted 1:10, then 10 μl was added to 12.5 μl SYBR green PCR mixture (Applied Biosytems), 1.5 μl water, and 1.25 pmol primer mix. PCR reactions were carried out using the ABI Prism 7000 Sequence Detection System (Applied Biosystems). To control for overall gene expression, the average cycle threshold for 36B4 was subtracted from the average Ct value for Inhbb to generate ΔCt. Fold change was then calculated as 2 to the −ΔΔCt power (2−ΔΔCt). Finally, relative abundance was presented as (2−ΔΔCt XY)/(2−ΔΔCt XX). Student t-tests (P < 0.01 is considered significant) were used to analyze statistical differences between XY and XX samples. Each sample was analyzed in triplicates and experiments were repeated at least three times using at least two different pools of RNA to synthesize cDNA.
Activins consist of either homodimers or heterodimers of inhibin beta A (INHBA) and beta B (INHBB) subunits (activin A =beta A:beta A, activin B =beta B:beta B, and activin AB = beta A:beta B). We examined the expression patterns of these two inhibin subunits in mouse gonads at E12.5, when the development of dimorphic vasculature in gonads occurs. By section in situ hybridization we found that XY gonads expressed both Inhba and Inhbb (Fig. 1, A and B), whereas the XX gonad expressed Inhbb but not Inhba (Fig. 1, C and D). Absence of staining with the sense probes showed the specificity of the probes (Fig. 1, E and F; only XY gonads are shown here). The presence of Inhbb in the XX gonad indicated that Inhbb could be a target of WNT4 and FST. We therefore examined expression of Inhbb at E11.5, when the testis-specific coelomic vessel begins to form. Inhbb expression was similar in XY and XX gonads at E11.5 (Fig. 2, A and B; n = 4). At E12.5, Inhbb expression in XX gonads was reduced, but not completely eliminated (Figs. 1D and 2, B and F), while XY gonads continue to express a high level of Inhbb in testis cords (Figs. 1B and and2E).2E). The staining patterns of Inhbb expression were similar in samples analyzed by section (Fig. 1) and whole mount in situ hybridization (Fig. 2), with the exception that the staining in E12.5 XX gonads was low in whole mount samples (compare Fig. 1D with Fig. 2F). To further confirm these in situ hybridization results, we measured the relative abundance of Inhbb expression between E12.5 XY and XX gonads by quantitative real-time PCR (Fig. 1G; n =3). Inhbb mRNA was present in both E12.5 XY and XX gonads and relative Inhbb mRNA abundance in the XY gonad is, on average, 4.68-fold higher than that in the XX gonad (P < 0.001).
The presence of Inhbb in the XX gonad suggests that Inhbb could be a target of WNT4 and FST, two factors known to play critical roles in early ovarian development [18, 20, 22]. We therefore examined whether the expression pattern of Inhbb was altered in the absence of Wnt4 or Fst. In Wnt4−/− XX gonads, Inhbb expression at E11.5 and E12.5 was elevated (Fig. 2, C and G, n =4) compared to that in the wild type (Fig. 2, B and F). However, this altered pattern was not observed in the Fst−/− XX gonad (Fig. 2, D and H). These results demonstrate a unique molecular relationship between Inhbb and Wnt4, in which WNT4, but not FST, reduces Inhbb expression at the transcriptional level in XX gonads. We also examined Inhba expression and found that Inhba was not present in Wnt4−/− or Fst−/− XX gonads (not shown), further indicating that Inhba is not a target of WNT4 and FST.
The upregulation of Inhbb in Wnt4−/− XX gonads at E11.5 and E12.5 (Fig. 2, C and G) suggests that Inhbb may be responsible for phenotypes appearing at similar stages in Wnt4−/− XX gonads, specifically the ectopic formation of the coelomic vessel. We therefore generated the Wnt4−/−;Inhbb−/− double-null embryos to test whether removal of Inhbb can prevent formation of the coelomic vessel and restore the normal ovarian phenotypes. E12.5 gonads were immunostained with an anti-PECAM1 antibody, which demarcates the vasculature and primordial germ cells [11] (Fig. 3, red staining), and an anti-AMH antibody, which highlights Sertoli cells in testis cords (Fig. 3, green staining). In the wild-type XY and Wnt4−/− XX gonad (Fig. 3, A and B), the coelomic vessel formed along the anterior-posterior axis of the coelomic surface, whereas this vessel was not found in the wild-type XX gonad (Fig. 3D). Absence of Inhbb in the Wnt4-null background reversed the vessel phenotype to wild-type (Fig. 3E), indicating that the upregulation of Inhbb in the Wnt4−/−XX gonad is responsible for the ectopic formation of the coelomic vessel.
If WNT4 prevents coelomic vessel formation by decreasing Inhbb expression, what causes the coelomic vessel to form in the Fst−/− XX gonad, in which Wnt4 remains expressed normally [20]? As shown in Figure 1, D and G, Inhbb expression (or activin B production) was still present in normal XX gonads. One function of FST could be to prevent this residual expression of Inhbb from inducing the coelomic vessel. To test this hypothesis, we generated Fst−/−;Inhbb−/− embryos and found that, similarly to the Wnt4−/−;Inhbb−/− XX gonad, the vessel phenotype in the Fst-null background was rescued by inactivating Inhbb (Fig. 3, C and F). XX gonads that lost only Inhbb (Wnt4+/+;Inhbb−/− or Fst+/+;Inhbb−/−) developed normally without any apparent defects (data not shown).
To further demonstrate the ability of activin B (homodimer of INHBB) to induce formation of the coelomic vessel, we conducted an in vitro gain-of-function experiment by culturing E11.5 XX gonads with human activin B (which shares >98% homology with mouse activin B based on NCBI BLAST analysis). After 48 h of culture, the coelomic vessel had formed in the activin-B treated, but not in the control, XX gonad (Fig. 4, A and B). This ectopic coelomic vessel was located in the cortical domain of the XX gonad, with elaborate branching resembling that present in the XY gonad. Culturing XX gonads in the presence of activin B caused the development of the coelomic vessel, thereby recapitulating the Wnt4−/−and Fst−/− ovarian phenotypes.
One remaining question is whether Inhbb or activin B has a functional role in normal coelomic vessel formation in the XY gonad. Under normal circumstances, Inhbb is expressed in the XY gonad at E11.5 and E12.5, coinciding with the time that the coelomic vessel forms (Fig. 2). We found that in the Inhbb−/− XY gonad, the coelomic vessel still formed, but with varying degrees of abnormality. Compared to the vessel in the wild type at the same stage (E12.5), the calibers of the coelomic vessels in most Inhbb−/− XY gonads were ~50% of that in wild-type XY gonad and were occasionally discontinuous (Fig. 4, C and D). In some cases, the branching of the coelomic vessel was also decreased.
Activins, members of the transforming growth factor (TGF) beta family of proteins, are involved in the patterning and organogenesis of vertebrate embryos [31, 32], as well as the endocrine regulation of various tissues in adults, especially the reproductive system [33, 34]. In the adult, activins act to stimulate secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary and simultaneously modulate germ cell and somatic cell development in gonads. Functions of activins in the adult reproductive system have been examined extensively. Here we reveal a unique role of activin in the sexually dimorphic differentiation of embryonic gonads.
The presence of Inhbb in the XX gonad is particularly intriguing because Fst, a gene that encodes an activin inhibitor, is expressed in XX but not in XY gonads [19, 20], suggesting an ovary-specific inhibition of activin activity. FST binds certain members of the TGF beta family of proteins and prevents them from activating their receptors [35]. FST has the highest affinity for activins, and the inhibitory effects of FST on activins have been established in vivo and in vitro (see reviews [36, 37]). Fst is expressed in the XX gonad starting at E11.5 [19, 20], similarly to Wnt4, another XX-specific gene. Genetic analysis has revealed that WNT4 stimulates the expression of Fst, and null mutations of either Wnt4 or Fst result in a similar phenotype in the XX gonad: ectopic appearance of the testis-specific coelomic vessel [20, 22]. These findings indicate that in the XX gonad, WNT4, and FST form a signaling cascade that suppresses formation of the testis-specific coelomic vessel [20].
Absence of the coelomic phenotypes in Inhbb−/−;Wnt4−/− and Inhbb−/−;Fst−/− XX gonads provides the first genetic evidence that Inhbb is responsible for the formation of the coelomic vessel in Wnt4−/− and Fst−/− ovaries. We found that, under normal circumstances, Inhbb expression is low in the XX gonad because of the inhibitory effect of WNT4 on mRNA transcription, and when Wnt4 is absent, Inhbb transcription is upregulated (Fig. 2). On the other hand, Inhbb expression is not significantly altered in Fst−/− XX gonads as compared to Wnt4−/− XX gonads, indicating a different mechanism of FST on activin functions. No Inhba is expressed in the XX gonads of these knockouts, indicating that activin B is the only protein product produced. We therefore propose that in the Wnt4−/− ovary, where both Wnt4 and Fst are absent [20], activin B acts at full strength to induce coelomic vessel formation. In the Fst−/− XX gonad, although WNT4 is present and able to reduce Inhbb expression (Fig. 2), the residual activin B is still capable of inducing the coelomic vessel without the interference of FST, as shown in the Fst−/− ovaries [20]. This notion is further supported by a minor difference in vessel phenotypes between Wnt4- and Fst-null ovaries. In the Wnt4−/− XX gonad (high Inhbb expression; Figs. 2C and and3B),3B), the coelomic vessel was bigger and more elaborate than that in the Fst−/− XX gonads (low Inhbb expression; Figs. 2D and and3C3C).
Our findings are also consistent with the idea that multiple/redundant pathways regulate coelomic vessel formation in the testis. It is known that the XY gonad produces unidentified chemoattractants to recruit endothelial cells from the mesonephros to form the coelomic vessel. Many TGF beta family proteins, such as AMH, bone morphogenetic proteins [38], and activin A (data not shown) are able to induce mesonephric cell migration and ectopic coelomic vessel formation in the XX gonad in culture. Activin was also shown to be able to induce tubulogenesis of endothelial cells in vitro [39]. Among these factors, AMH and activin A have the most physiological relevance because of their similar expression time frame to activin B in testis development. Similar to our finding on Inhbb−/− testis, neither Amh−/− [38] nor Inhba−/− (unpublished data) male embryos had overt vasculature defects in testis. Furthermore, overexpression of Wnt4 in XY gonads did not prohibit formation of the coelomic vessel, despite observed disorganization of the vessel [22, 24], further indicating the presence of a compensatory mechanism to maintain coelomic vessel formation. Overexpression of Fst results in varying degrees of male infertility, but the development of the coelomic vessel was not examined [40].
WNT4 was originally considered as a candidate for the Z factor based on its ability to suppress Leydig cell differentiation [18]. However, further analysis revealed that the ectopic steroidogenic cells in the Wnt4-null ovary were adrenal-derived, and most importantly, they also appeared in the Wnt4-null testis [41]. These observations indicate that WNT4 is probably not a suppressor of Leydig cell differentiation. The classic definition of the Z factor is that it can antagonize SRY functions and, at the same time, activate the female pathways [8]. Although WNT4 and its downstream target FST do antagonize formation of the testis-specific vasculature (this study, [20, 42]), they cannot override the SRY pathway or trigger the ovarian pathway. In embryonic testes in which Wnt4 or Fst was ectopically expressed, primary testis development was not affected [22, 24]. Based on these findings, we conclude that Wnt4 and Fst are not candidate genes for the Z factor.
In summary, our findings place Inhbb (or its product activin B) in a unique position among the cellular pathways of gonadal development. One function of activin B is to contribute to coelomic vessel formation in the testis in conjunction with other factor(s). This function is suppressed in the XX gonad through the activity of WNT4 and one of its downstream targets, FST. Conversely, in the XY gonad, testis determining genes including SRY and/or SOX9 (see review [1]) are thought to suppress Wnt4 expression, allowing activin B to work with other factors, such as other TGF beta proteins, to facilitate coelomic vessel formation (Fig. 4E). It remains uncertain whether the SRY pathway directly regulates Inhbb. If this is the case, regulators downstream of SRY (Sry is not present in the XX individual) must be active in the Wnt4−/− XX gonad to trigger Inhbb expression. However, none of the key players in the SRY pathway, such as Sox9, desert hedgehog [18], or Amh, were present in the Wnt4 and Fst−/−XX gonad, indicating that Inhbb expression may not require the activation of the SRY pathway (Fig. 4E). These observations further suggest a novel concept that activin B could act through a neutral or default mechanism to induce coelomic vessel formation in gonadal differentiation.
The authors appreciate Dr. Martin Matzuk for providing the Fst and Inhbb knockout mice and his comments on the manuscript.

Advisors face this problem every day: Fixed-income rates are low, but aging clients need to generate income. People are looking for yield, says Bob Zenouzi, lead manager of the Delaware Dividend Income Fund.
Despite the name of his fund, Zenouzi prefers to offer his investors total return these days. He believes that it is the best way to approach the mismatch between current yields and investors income needs.

Sometimes, the incoming blog traffic is made out of TMI. Let's begin this Recap.
|I'll miss you. Will you miss me?
Last time Magpie appeared, she wanted Batman's utility belt. But may also have set her sights a bit lower… wink wink.
We open on Gotham City (what a shock), where a taxi cab appears to be a-rockin'. But a quick pan of the camera shows us that Lunkhead, resident dumb muscle of Gotham, is stealing a taxi by literally trying to walk away with it.
Katana: "Is this nutjob serious?"
Batman: "Sadly so."
Batman and Katana speed over to stop him, and a scuffle ensues. They tie up Lunkhead against a pole, which nearly falls onto Katana. Batman chides her over this.
Batman: "It's never over 'til it's over."
The timeless wisdom of Yogi Berra. Right up there with Socrates.
Later, at Blackgate Prison, Magpie tries to attack the orderly bringing her food. To be fair, he does insist on calling her "Tweety Bird." As she admires the shine coming off of her drinking cup, she hears the Warden apologizing to Batman over Lunkhead's failed rehabilitation.
Batman: "Just keep him stuffed with candy."
I'll just skip over how that's probably the worst psychiatric therapy short of cash bribes and continue. Magpie excitedly waves her arm out of her cell and yells for Batman, who goes over to talk to her.
It's a nice scene; it shows that Batman has some human decency and does honestly care about the people he puts away, and it shows that Magpie can be more than a stab-happy psycho. She seems genuinely happy to talk to someone she sees as a friend and equal.
Batman: "Sorry I haven't been to see you recently."
Magpie: "I was worried something had happened to you. I've missed our talks. Anything I should know? You can tell me anything…."
Batman: "I'm fine. Thank you."
|Looks like somebody's hoping that this visit gets a lot more conjugal.
Back in her cell, she goes over her astoundingly large collection of Batman pictures and begins her downward spiral into her newest bout of madness. It's actually a very powerful scene. She slams herself against the walls in a fit of frustration, and eventually concludes that Batman has been taken prisoner by Katana, and that's why he showed up, but didn't answer questions: it was a cry for help.
|Yeah, you'd know all about cries for help, wouldn't you?
Anyway, she asks Batman why he's been visiting her, and he responds with "Know your enemy." Okay, forget what I said about Batman having any human decency. He's a paranoid jerk. Suddenly, there's an explosion. I love typing that sentence. Magpie's robbing a jewelry store. Batman and Katana show up, and Magpie tells him "Message received." Then she attacks Katana. They catfight for a bit, until Batman demands her to stop.
Magpie: "I just broke out of prison for you! A little appreciation would be nice!"
|But would she catch a grenade for him? Throw her hand on a blade for him?
Katana: "I don't know what's going on between the two of you…."
Batman: "There is nothing going on."
Magpie responds by kicking Batman in the face, which starts the catfight all over again until Batman separates the two. Magpie takes the opportunity to escape, complete with explosion. Later, back at STATELY WAYNE MANOR, Bruce, Alfred, and Tatsu watch as the news speculates that Magpie's bat-shaped calling cards in Gotham mean that she's working with Batman.
Bruce: "Batman should never have let himself get so close to her."
Alfred: "Agreed."
Using the third-person, Bruce? Sounds like Magpie's not the only one with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
The plan is to leave Tatsu out of this, despite her protests, because she's the target. Bruce goes off alone to Miskatonic Hospital, her likely hideout. Alfred gives Bruce a bit of the old "who's really the one who needs help" bit, and Batman speeds off in the Batmobile. Later, at Miskatonic, Magpie greets the arriving Batman, and asks how he liked the bat-shaped "gifts" she left all over the city. Batman and Magpie have a nice discussion, where he reveals that he began their little talks because he thought it was unfair that she was put in Blackgate Prison and not a hospital.
Batman: "It isn't where you belong."
Magpie: "You mean… I belong with you?"
|Always an awkward one to get out of.
|A facial transition that no man ever wants to see in a woman.
Back in the episode, Katana gets scratched with curare. Batman, meanwhile, has since returned to the Batcave to yell at Alfred. And he does. On the screen of the Bat-Computer, it seems that Magpie had left a Riddler-esque set of numbers as a clue for Batman, arranged in jewelry.
|"Maybe I shouldn't have let her add me as a Skype contact."
|Sorry. Myth busted.
Batman: "Magpie's buried Katana alive in Margaret Sorrow's grave."
Worst game of Clue ever.
5 minutes to go. Katana's still stuck, but she uses broken glass from the countdown timer to finally make some progress. Meanwhile, Batman shows up at Gotham Cemetery and finds the grave he's looking for. He grabs a shovel and digs like a madman as Katana keeps breaking her coffin… but just like the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Batman's digging in the wrong place. He finds only an empty coffin, and Katana breaks through her coffin, causing six feet of dirt to land on her. A disappointed Magpie appears, and refuses to tell Batman where Katana is. She begins ranting and raving over Batman, they have dueling "You're like me"/"I'm nothing like you" speeches, and they begin fighting. Batman gets scratched by curare-tipped claws, and thrown into a coffin. But before Magpie can escape, it seems that Katana has freed herself from her coffin in defiance of what the Discovery Channel says is possible.
Katana: "You should have buried me deeper."
Oh, that explains it then. We get one last girl-on-girl fight as Batman injects himself with some kind of antidote. And, I can't believe I'm actually typing this, but their fight ends with Katana dissing Magpie's outfit.
Katana: "I mean, really? Neck feathers with a bustier? Kind of trashy. Right, Batman?"
The fight then shifts to be between Magpie and Batman, and Batman wins because he's the hero, crushing her with Margaret Sorrow's tombstone, though she's allegedly still alive. Later, at STATELY WAYNE MANOR, Bruce broods on the balcony while Alfred and Katana philosophize about Batman possibly going down the same road as Magpie. And the episode ends.
For the last time this month, and for the last time for the pre-Toonami episodes, it's time to review.

Chi Rho Reflection for the Week of February 1, 2004
Expand Messages
- Chi Rho Reflection for the Week of February 1, 2004
As one of the on-going ministries of Chi Rho Press,
here is a selection from the soon-to-be-published
new book of daily devotions, written by the Rev. Dr.
Sandra Bochonok, called "Living as the Beloved: One
Day at a Time."
Please get out your Bible, read the verse from the
Gospel and Dr. Bochonok's meditation. We hope you
will be blessed.
Thank you for forwarding this to your friends.
Please read Mark 1:1
What is a Gospel?
One Sunday after I had just preached, a member of
the church board of directors quietly approached me
with a question. "Excuse me," he said, obviously
embarrassed. "But what is a Gospel?" I had referred
to the Gospel a number of times during my sermon. He
had no idea what I meant. Could I please explain?
I suddenly realized if he had this profound question,
so did many others. He was a well-respected leader
in the church. He was extremely well informed
regarding human rights and other justice issues,
but he did not know what the Gospel was, despite
serving in a key church leadership position.
Like many other ministers, I had made some assumptions
based on years of experience in the ordained ministry.
I assumed listeners in church would know what the word
"Gospel" meant. I was wrong in my assumptions. About
half of the adult population in the USA also do not
know the answer. They have never heard of the Sermon
on the Mount and do not understand what Christians
celebrate on Easter (George G. Hunter III, "How to
Reach Secular People," pp 44-45). The Bible stories
in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are
unknown treasures. The citation "John 3:16" means
nothing to them.
The word "Gospel" comes from the Greek word "evangel."
It means "good news." The Gospels bring us good news
in a world often full of bad news. They have amazing
spiritual power. Reading them can help us begin to
love and trust God. They are full of stories about
spiritual hospitality and generosity. These stories
offer us wonderful words of life.
Try a ninety-day adventure with God in the months
ahead. Consider reading a chapter per day in the
Gospels. By doing this, you can easily read them in
their entirety in eighty-nine days. They are full
of stories about love and hate, trust and betrayal,
life and death, miracles and more. "Come and see"
(John 1: 39) for yourself. God will bless your
readings. On the ninetieth day, consider taking
a personal retreat day. Reflect on how the Gospels
have helped your spiritual life and enhanced your
understanding of God. Consider reading other books
in the Bible. They will change your life with words
of spiritual empowerment.
God, it would be great to have some good news in a
world so full of bad news. Help us be spiritually
empowered by reading these amazing Gospel stories.
Grace and peace,
Chi Rho Press

For parking infrastructure owners and operators, business has been a stable, essential—and sometimes underappreciated— part of the transportation network. Today, however, the world is shifting.

Well, the 2006 election cycle is in full swing now since the Labor Day weekend. We will probably see a lot of legislative "miracles" in the coming weeks. There have been some serious cries from the Left about executive pay packages. There is a certain appeal involved with being critical of executive pay. Surely, these executives are making more money than they can ever spend, so why should they be getting paid this much when so many people are struggling to get by?
Truth be told, as a stockholder, I am not too thrilled with some of the exhorbinant pay packages for executives. I would like to see more money paid out in the form of dividends. However, I do not hold much weight in corporate voting because I do not hold a large enough stake in any company. Honestly, I only own stock in one company, directly; the rest of my ownership is through mutual funds and index funds. The executives of these companies tend to have a pretty large chunk of stock vested in their employer, so they have considerable pull, themselves.
Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) is proposing the repeal of a 1993 tax break that makes executive pay over $1 million to be tax deductible if it is tied to performance. Please note, in most all situations, employee pay is deductible as a business expense, so this is not something that was made especially for executives, and not normal employees; as a matter of fact, this was meant to provide a compromised way to end special legislation made against executives. Effectively, companies are paying their executives with stock options to get around paying a lot of taxes. And further, executives get the ability to have lower tax rates with this approach because they get their personal revenues from capital gains, rather than a salary. This allows them to by-pass a lot of standard income tax, as well as some payroll taxes. This has never been more apparent than in situations where executives are only taking $1 in salary. Strictly speaking, these stunts are mostly public relations tools, and the rest of it is for tax benefits to the employee and the employer. Ironically, the executives that tend to pull the "benevolent" $1 salaries tend to be the more liberal bunch that just want to put on a dog-and-pony show to put them in the good graces of their loyal followers. Examples include Steve Jobs (Apple and Pixar), and Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin (Google).
So, the big debate is that more rich people are getting out of paying their "fair share" of taxes. Considering that the absolute majority of taxes are paid the wealthy, I just don't buy that. The politicians on the Left are putting on their own dog-and-pony show pretending that they care about the poor and middle class in an effort to buy votes. While the Democratic Party seems to be leaning to the left, I still think the politicians are out more for their own personal well-being than anything. So, they scream about executive pay and they get their constituents all worked up, and hopefully earn some more votes. But, they are not the only politicians putting a dog-and-pony show. Senator Grassley, a Republican, is doing just that by proposing this repeal. The reasoning cited here is that the government could get more tax revenue from this situation. However, given the findings, it would only generate about $3 billion in additional revenue by taxing the extra $10 billion from these corporations. To average citizens, $3 billion sounds like a lot of money... and it certainly is. However, in the grand scheme of things, the Federal Budget, it is a miniscule drop in the bucket that will have nearly a zero sum effect. So, this is just more evidence that this is another dog-and-pony show. The only effect I can see from this is that the stock market is going to take a hit from it, like it always does when congress is in session; and that is going to hurt average citizens who are trying to save for their retirements in 401(k) and IRA plans.

|Song Title
In Dusseldorf I met a clown
His nose, it was red
In Gelterkinden I forgot to frown
Then remembered again
In Paris I saw a big fish
Swimming slow in the Siene
It made me hopeful that someday our water
Would be breathable again…
In Frankfurt I heard eins zwei drei
Counting cookies and no one was shot
In Berlin stopped by the Polizei
For drunk driving and everyone smiled
In Prague I knew I'd been a witch
Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kitsch
It made me miss my Moscow muttdom
It made me miss my New York nothing…
In Montpelier I stayed in a chateau
A boy climbed into my bed and he knew no boundaries
In Amsterdam I got quite crazy
It might have been all the tulips and canals
Or it might have been all that hash, and in
Barcelon, buenos dias, chocolato, le Picasso
And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
And in London, me and the French existentialists…
In Corsica I floated away, all the way to Marseilles
I should have held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say
In Dusseldorf I met a dwarf
With bad breath and a really good tan
In Gelterkinden I remembered how to laugh
And I never ever forgot it again

Jeannine Bush Clinton E-RYT 500
Jeannine Bush Clinton E-RYT 500, is the Director of Essencia Yoga's Registered Yoga School, offering 200 RYT and 300 RYT Accredited Certifications.
As the Lead Instructor to both the 200 Hour teacher training certification and the 300 Hour Advanced Training Program, Jeannine instructs each class with a commitment to share the essence of yoga, with the intention of inviting the practitioner to unite to their own essence in the process.
She integrates the wealth of treasure found through connecting with ancient tradition and ritual, having come through the Sivananda Line of instructors, as well as the very intuitive flow found in more modern expressions of Vinyasa Flow. Her attention to detail has gradually become highlighted as she has personally experienced a renewed commitment to the growth and development that can occur with cultivating the core structure and alignment of an individual's practice (of asana/of teaching) from the grounding established in the foundational principles of yoga, integrating mind, body and spirit.
This balanced blend is formed and informed by her training received under various styles of instructors, some of which have brought about great affirmation of her intuition and some of which have kept her accountable with a more definitive approach. She incorporates into her teachings, the eight limbs of yoga, asana, pranayama, meditation, world music with tribal beats, silence and the restorative healing found in a more restorative approach as well.
Practicing since 2000, Jeannine views yoga classes, workshops, and trainings as opportunities to create a space for people to make key connections where needed. Yoga meets us where we are, inviting the breath in, releasing the toxins out, invigorating the muscles, bringing a greater sense of calm, adding greater balance and focus, while eliminating stress. This will bring about a clearing out of varying forms of doubt, fear and illusion; freeing up the whole person, to shine forth with greater vigor, as they live in greater alignment with their darma, their essence, their life purpose.
Kate Fleming
After a dozen or so years of a committed to one yoga teacher practice Kate decided it was time to delve deeper into the many facets of yoga that comes with teacher training. A life long learner and teacher of many things, Kate discovered how deep and rich the word and world of yoga is. The more that you learn the more you find that you don't know.
In the beginning of her yoga teacher journey, Kate enjoyed working with teens, beginners, Tibetan meditation, and discovering all that yoga can offer. But after a chance encounter with another Essencia teacher trainee, Kate met Dana Fish and became certified to teach G.I. Yoga. Working with military veterans and their families has become her calling and now Kate is leading the G.I. Yoga team of teachers.
"strength, flexibility, balance...stress, anxiety, depression...focus, meditation, connection...there is yoga for that!"
Katie Dobry
After spending my undergraduate and graduate school years immersing myself in psychology and child development, I found myself drawn towards helping children with special needs. I've spent (and continue to spend) my first 7 years in the professional realm working in an alternative school with students who struggle with learning, behavioral and emotional disorders. Through these impactful, eye opening, and sometimes emotionally jarring experiences with students, ages 5-22, I realized that yoga could be an incredible outlet for them to find relief, solace, and positive self-expression.
It is with this intention that I entered 200 RYT training. As all good things mold and reshape themselves, my training became both an educational resource that I could serve to my students but more surprisingly a personal art form. During my training, I developed a profound passion for the physical and mental melding that occurs during a yoga class. This union of body and mind is what has shifted my individual interest and has lead me to finding personal growth and development through yoga. I am excited to bring my training to both my current students as well as future students as I have personally experienced the insightful impact it can have on one's life.
Mary Rittenhouse-Howard
Mary Rittenhouse-Howard found yoga for the first time almost 17 years ago. It was not until recently that yoga stopped being something she did and became part of who she is. Mary truly believes that yoga is for everyone despite age, body type or physical limitations and through constant practice and dedication the movements, breath and poses can find anyone.
As a vegan of 20 years, Mary believes in practicing compassion on the mat and off. A wanderer by heart, she also believes that yoga is a useful tool to help still our sometimes restless minds , bodies and hearts. Her class style is typically playful, inviting, mindful and soothing. Her goal is to share her love for yoga with as many people as possible.
Mary completed her 200hr RYT with Jeannine Bush-Clinton and started her 300hr certification program in early 2016 also under the guidance of Jeannine as well. Her goal is to offer pranyama and meditation to her students, as well as asana, to offer a well balanced mental and physical practice. Currently Mary teaches a variety of classes at Essencia including Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative.
Stacey Zagortz
Stacey began practicing yoga in 2000. She initially came to the mat for yoga's physical benefits and to break up the tedium of a normal exercise routine. After several years of practicing, she began to incorporate yoga's breathing techniques into her practice which vastly enriched experiences on and off the mat. Stacey credits yoga with helping her be calmer and be a better mother, wife, and human being. A former school teacher, she has been a registered yoga teacher since 2008 and has a Master's degree in Education.
Stacey became an instructor in an effort to help people have fun and tap into and enjoy all of the amazing abilities of their own, unique bodies. Her intention is to allow all practitioners to discover their own strength and flexibility to bring balance and a sense of equinity to their practice and their lives.
Susan Tauster
Susan Tauster has practiced and instructed hatha and kundalini yoga and meditation for nearly 20 years. Susan received her Kundalini Instructor Training through the 3HO Foundation (based in Espanola, NM).
As the former publisher of Vegetarian Times magazine, she understands the connection between a balanced diet and fitness regimen that includes yoga practice.
Susan has instructed both adults and children and is conversant in vegetarian diets and natural products and remedies. "Kundalini yoga has allowed me to more effectively integrate changes, both tangible and intangible, in a wide variety of situations." www.chantandchai.com
Rachel Rusin
"I began my yoga journey many years ago when I met another mom on the playground who was giving free yoga classes in her husband's hair salon after hours. I have strayed from yoga here and there over the years, but always ended up coming back to the mat. My teachers have included Daren Friesen at Moksha Yoga in Chicago, where I began the 200-hour teacher training, Gary Kraftsow, and Aadil Palkhivala. I am currently finishing the 200-hour training with Jeannine Bush-Clinton here at Essencia, and will continue on with the 500-hour training. I have never found another activity that engages me on so many levels: yoga is physically challenging, requiring strength, flexibility, balance and concentration; it is mentally and emotionally challenging to stay focused in the present moment, to breathe intentionally, and to ride the emotions that arise; it is spiritually challenging to come to the end of myself in my practice, to connect to something bigger, and to surrender. I also love the aspect of play and joy that yoga brings to the surface as we move our bodies with the music of our breath in a reverent dance. As a teacher, I hope to weave all of these layers of practice together into a coherent and balanced class, one that gets you moving with asana but that also gets you thinking, feeling, worshiping, meditating, and finding freedom."
David Scott
After practicing yoga in the Chicago land area and all across the country for ten years, obtaining his RYT 200 at the Chicago Yoga Center in Lincoln Park was a continuation of David's path. David's teacher, Suddha Weixler, has focused on B.K.S Iyengar based philosophies at his studio for over 30 years. "Suddha opened my eyes and practice to so much, it was a blessing to train under Suddha and with my fellow students".
This past spring, David was riding his bike and needed a break, so he rested on the chairs outside this studio, not realizing it was a yoga studio. "That's yoga, I was open to my next journey, I didn't try to force anything, and it just happened – Essencia found me". He loves practicing and learning along with his students. The diversity of the yoga community, each person's story, is highly valued by David.
David believes the change in perspective from 'being" to "doing" is where the abundance awaits. He loves adventure and recently took up paragliding while on a trip to California. Trying new things, meeting new people and being open to learning from everyone.
Alignment, Breathing, Observing, Allowing, Reflecting -- are all part of his classes.
Anna Thelen
"I fell in love with yoga about ten years ago during a hard and very care-intensive part of my life. Yoga was a space to rest, move, breathe and be gentle with myself. It still is to this day.
A year ago I decided to take the leap and do RYT 200 hour training, and completed the course of study in January 2016. I loved every intense and beautiful part of it. The training itself shaped me physically and emotionally, and taught me more about myself, as well as yoga.
I love creating the space and opportunity for my students to find peace and movement on their mats. Touching people emotionally and physically for that time is a joy and a gift that I am grateful to participate in.
Besides teaching yoga in the area. I am a professional nanny for two wee darlings and a certified Birth Doula. I delight in spending time with my precious friends, salsa dancing, drinking a really good latte while devouring a new book, and always, returning to my mat for my own yoga practice."
Christina Graham
"Christina has been a student of yoga since 2002. She began practicing in high school to combat stress and anxiety and found that yoga created a healing flexibility in both body and mind. Driven to share this practice with others, and to fuse her background in Western medicine with Eastern philosophies, she completed her teacher training with Tapas Yoga under the guidance of many wonderful teachers. As a Nurse Practitioner working with adult and geriatric patients, Christina aims to help her patients and her students learn techniques to improve their health through lifestyle interventions including diet, exercise, yoga, and stress reduction. It is her goal to help all individuals maintain health, live mindfully, and foster compassion towards the self.

Nicole Sopko
Gopi Om (Nicole Sopko) first discovered yoga by chance and was instantly intrigued. She attended her first teacher training with the sole intention of learning more about the practice, but discovered the teachings of yoga to be so transformational that she couldn't keep them to herself and began teaching in 2005. Shortly after, her practice grew immensely due to the discovery and subsequent influence of her beloved Guru, Sri Dharma Mittra, who gave her the name Gopi. In recent years, Gopi has had the honor of assisting Dharma-ji at workshops nationwide, as well as appearing with him on television twice.

Mayor Bloomberg came to the heart of Coney Islands residential community to announce the imminent construction of a $56 million community center and affordable housing complex. This community center and affordable housing complex was one of the things residents indicated they needed most, said Bloomberg in making the announcement at P.S. 329, 2929 West 30th Street. By providing area residents with a center for active recreation and an affordable place to live, this project will go a long way to strengthening Coney Islands residential community, he added. The projects location is next to the school on West 30th Street between Neptune and Surf Avenues. The plan calls for a 40,000-square-foot community center including a six-lane swimming pool, a full-court gymnasium, fitness and multi-purpose rooms, a double height social room and office space. The YMCA of Greater New York will own and operate the community center. The housing component, built next to the community center, will have 152 cooperative residential units in two buildings of seven and 11 stories. The co-ops will include studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units, 75 percent of which will be affordable for low- and middle-income families. Under the plan, the city will sell its city-owned property next to the school to developers ELH Management, KB Companies and Galaxy General Contracting for $1 and contribute $5 million toward the construction of the community center. The developers were picked through a city-issued Request for Proposals (RFP) process in May 2006. The citys Housing Development Corporation (HDC) will partly finance the housing component through the agencys Affordable Cooperative Housing Program and the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation. The project is also expected to create 240 construction jobs, 42 full-time jobs and 125 part-time jobs for the area. Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2008 and be completed in summer 2009. City Councilmember Domenic Recchia said the community center is a fulfillment of a promise he made to that area of Coney Island when he was first ran for City Council in 2001. Then in September 2003, when the city and Borough President created the Coney Island Development Corporation (CIDC), which in turn created a strategic plan to revitalize the area and make it a year-round destination, Recchia said he insisted that the community center be put on the front burner. The city is expected to submit a preliminary comprehensive rezoning of Coney Island by late spring 2007. I made a commitment to the community that I would bring back a community center for their uses and it was a major campaign issue, said Recchia. The community said well vote for you, but you have to get us a community center because teenagers have nowhere to go at night, he added. The YMCA will utilize its Sliding Scale Membership Program for the community center that uses a flexible rate structure to assure that no one is turned away due to financial circumstances, said YMCA of Greater New York President and CEO Jack Lund. Lund pledged to partner with local schools to create complementary programs for youth and teens growth and development. As one of the citys leading youth service organizations, we will provide much-needed after-school programs, teen leadership initiatives, healthy kids programs, wellness initiatives, a vast array of other important services, and of course, plain old fun, said Lund. The Y is committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities, and were very glad to have a presence here in Coney Island, he added.

Flores, Nats Get Second Win in a Row
Saturday, May 9, 2009; 12:37 AM
PHOENIX -- The Nationals crashed another party Friday. A night after ending the Los Angeles Dodgers' major league record 13-game home winning streak to open a season, they ruined new Arizona manager A.J. Hinch's first game Friday.
Credit the usual suspects in the 5-4 victory, the Nationals' second straight road victory, a season first. Ryan Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to 26 games, the longest in the majors this season, Cristian Guzmán crept closer to .400 with two more hits and right-hander Shairon Martis improved to 4-0.
The revamped bullpen, meanwhile, handed Martis and the rest of the starting rotation another reason to believe, giving up one run in 3 2/3 innings. Designated closer Kip Wells finished up for the second night in a row, getting his first major league save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Wells finished with a flourish, striking out Arizona 3-4 hitters Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds to end the game. He threw three balls to Conor Jackson before recovering to get him to flyout to open the inning.
"You know you don't have a save, and you could see that. My first several pitches were errant. You're trying to harness your adrenaline and relax.
Then I got into a rhythm and got three outs. Some nights you are a little more amped up than others," said Wells, who has 265 career appearances.
"If you challenge guys with strikes, you have a chance to get outs. If you get behind, you never know."
The Nationals (9-18) have won four out of five.
Zimmerman took the suspense out of his hitting streak when he singled to left field in the first inning, but Arizona scored first, when Felipe López doubled and came home on a flyout and a groundout. López had three hits.
The Nationals took a lead they never lost in the second. After Jesús Flores walked, Martis set up the Nationals' two-run second inning with a two-out single to left field off right-hander Yusmeiro Petit, who has the burden of being compared to injured Brandon Webb every time he takes the mound. Webb, who has finished second, second and first in the previous three NL Cy Young Award ballots, is expected to miss another month with shoulder soreness, and Petit has taken his place in the rotation, with less success.
Guzmán followed Martis's single with a line drive off the right field fence that with an unusual carom turned into a triple for a 2-1 lead.
Adam Dunn homered in the third and Flores homered in the fourth off Petit, who has given up eight homers in 24 2/3 innings this season and has an 8.03 ERA.
"We're getting really good pitching that's keeping us in ballgames," Dunn said. "Now, instead of getting the big hit that beats us, we're getting the big out."
Martis, meanwhile, gave up nine hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings but made pitches when he needed them most. Holding a 3-1 lead in the third inning, Martis gave up a leadoff infield single to López and a one-out walk to Justin Upton before striking out Mark Reynolds on a breaking ball and getting Josh Whitesell to fly to left.
After López singled and Chris Young tripled him home to cut the Nationals' lead to 4-2 in the fifth, Martis struck out Upton with a fastball and Reynolds on another breaking ball before Whitesell flew to right, extending the Diamondbacks' streak to 0 for 36 with runners in scoring position.
"He did another nice job for us, especially when he worked his way out of that jam," Manager Manny Acta said. "He's been terrific for his age."
Flores added an RBI single for a 5-2 lead in the sixth, just enough, thanks to some defense from Zimmerman, who speared a one-hopper by Miguel Montero to prevent the tying run from scoring in the seventh, then made a nice play on a chopper in the eighth.
"We played a clean game today," Zimmerman said. "We're starting to build some confidence. We got some runs, got ahead, and the bullpen is starting to do a pretty decent job. Defense and pitching win games. That's a goal of ours, to become better defensively as a team."
If Zimmerman finishes the road trip with hits in the last two games in Arizona, he will be halfway to Joe DiMaggio's major league record.
"To expect to do anything monumental is the wrong mind-set," he said. "I'm farther than I thought I would get."

Everyone has something that they've held on to from a past relationship. Maybe it's your high school sweetheart's letter jacket, or perhaps it's jewelry from an old boyfriend. The Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia displays the donated relics of relationships.
Among the items you'll see is a prosthetic leg from a war veteran who fell in love with the nurse who helped him put the leg on. Another item is the "divorce day dwarf" a woman threw at her ex-husband's car as he drove away. Another woman gave the cell phone that belonged to her ex, which he gave her so she couldn't contact him after their relationship ended.
