'Firefox update schedule tarnished its reputation' says employee
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
If you ask most disgruntled Firefox users there seem to be trio of problems that have made them move to another browser, or consider moving. They normally include frequent flash player crashes, memory usage leaks and the rapid release schedule that has been blamed for breaking add ons.
A Mozilla employee, John DiCarlo, says the way that Mozilla organised the Firefox release schedule has been the final nail in the coffin for the browser and seen many users switch to other browsers, notably Chrome. The reason why most users have shifted to Chrome after leaving Firefox is because it provides the only real alternative to Internet Explorer, which is why most people were using Firefox in the first place.
The developer, John DiCarlo, also went on to say that Firefox now looks like an inferior version of Google Chrome because Mozilla pushed a never ending stream of updates to users who just didn't want them. John DiCarlo says what he has learned the most from his spell of working at Mozilla is that the best way to keep software usable for consumers is to change the UI on very rare occasions.
"There's no UI better than one you already know, and no UI worse than one you thought you knew but now have to relearn"
John DiCarlo also went on to say that whenever someone finds out he is an employee of Mozilla he gets an earful about how the release schedule breaks plug ins and is obtrusive, unlike Chrome which updates silently and in the background.
However, he seemed pessimist about Firefox's chances of resurgence. Stating that even though Firefox have mended their ways it may be too little too late given most users have already jumped ship to Chrome. Not to mention the fact it is really difficult to get people to switch browser unless something about their current browser really irritates them.
Having switched from Firefox to Chrome myself because of Flash player and memory leakage issues, I can honestly say I don't regret moving and have no intentions of coming back to the fox. So perhaps John DiCarlo does have a point, what do you think?

On 4 November the Supreme Court of Appeal found that the Competition Commission had to live with its choice not to refer the bread price fixing complaint against Premier Foods to the Competition Tribunal for determination. Black Sash, COSATU and the Children's Resource Centre, amongst others, wanted to sue Premier along with the other cartel participants for damages caused by the price-fixing activities. In order to do so, they needed a notice issued by the Competition Tribunal certifying that the damages claim was based on a prohibited practice in terms of the Competition Act.
The Competition Commission investigates complaints. If, when it finishes that investigation, it believes that a prohibited practice has been committed it can either do a deal with the respondent or refer the complaint to the Tribunal. The Tribunal hears complaints referred to it. At the end of its hearing the Tribunal must decide whether or not a prohibited practices been committed and if so, it may declare that the respondent has committed a prohibited practice and in certain circumstances, also impose a fine. When the Tribunal declares that the respondent has committed a prohibited practice, anyone who has suffered loss as a consequence of that prohibited practice can claim damages once they get a certificate from the Tribunal or the Competition Appeal Court confirming that the respondent has committed a prohibited practice.
The catch in this case was that Premier was a leniency applicant in terms of the Competition Commission's Corporate Leniency Policy, the CLP. The Competition Commission grants conditional leniency to applicants and confirms that leniency when the applicants have cooperated sufficiently in its cartel busting activities. The CLP explains that immunity means that a successful leniency applicant is not subjected to "adjudication before the Tribunal for its involvement in the cartel activity". The CLP specifically says that leniency applicants do not get immunity against civil proceedings for damages.
Premier argued that the Competition Tribunal should not have issued a certificate declaring that Premier had committed price-fixing because the complaint which the Competition Commission referred to the Tribunal for hearing deliberately excluded Premier as a respondent nor did the Commission ask for any relief against Premier. The Tribunal, said Premier, only has the power to make declarations in relation to the complaints referred to it.
In a classic attempt to have its cake and eat it, the Competition Commission argued that even though its complaint referral excluded Premier as a respondent and it didn't seek an order against Premier, the complaint referral included Premier because participated in the Tribunal hearing by giving evidence about the cartel in which it participated.
The Supreme Court of Appeal disagreed with the Commission. Relying on Constitutional Court cases it said that if the Commission wants to include a party as a respondent before the Tribunal, it must clearly say so in its complaint referral and that "one cannot receive notice of liability to legal process through oblique or informal acquaintance with it" (citing NUMSA and Intervalve). The Supreme Court of Appeal left open the question of whether a leniency applicant could be included in a complaint referral for the purpose of the prohibited practice declaration opening the possibility of civil claims against them but not be vulnerable to a fine.
This decision will be welcomed by everyone who thinks that it is only fair that anyone accused in Competition proceedings actually knows that they are an accused. View Judgment

Title: What you know about the Bermuda Triangle?
The basis of this lesson is for students to form a connection between the importance of geometry as it relates to the Bermuda Triangle. Students should think about the geographical locations and how they form a particular type of triangle. Within the triangle exists a relationship between the angles and the length of the sides. As the students reflect prior concepts and skills should come to mind to help them solve the problem. The ideas presented here can be used as the final lesson in a unit on triangles to summarize all that students have learned. Alternatively, the main problem from this lesson could be used as a final assessment activity for a unit on triangles.
This is a College- and Career-Ready Standards showcase lesson plan.
Standard(s): [MA2015] GEO (9-12) 10: Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180o, base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent, the segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length, and the medians of a triangle meet at a point. [G-CO10]
Title: Location, Location, Location
In this Illuminations lesson, students use a dynamic geometry applet to investigate the relationship between the distances from a point inside a regular polygon to each side. In addition, there are links to online activity sheets and other related resources.
Standard(s): [MA2015] GEO (9-12) 39: Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).* [G-MG1]
Title: Pinwheel
In this Illuminations lesson, students create parallelograms from square sheets of paper and connect them to form an octagon. During the construction, students consider angle measures, segment lengths, and areas in terms of the original square. At the end of the lesson, the octagon is transformed into a pinwheel, and students discover a surprising result. There is also a link to a related activity sheet.
Standard(s): [MA2015] GEO (9-12) 34: Determine areas and perimeters of regular polygons, including inscribed or circumscribed polygons, given the coordinates of vertices or other characteristics. (Alabama)
Title: Discovering Pick's Theorem
This reproducible worksheet, from an Illuminations lesson, leads students through an investigation of Pick's Theorem using geoboards.
Standard(s): [MA2015] ALC (9-12) 11: Use ratios of perimeters, areas, and volumes of similar figures to solve applied problems. (Alabama)

If you've been following us for any amount of time, you know that we subscribe to the ethos that name isn't everything when it comes to vintage watches. There are tons of awesome vintage watches that add up to more than the sum of their parts, if for no other reason that they were manufactured by "the big names," then simply re-branded and sold by someone else.
These arrangements took many forms and have yielded some really interesting pieces across the price spectrum- "Poor Man's Heuers" by Zodiac and Clebar and LeJour-branded twins of Yema's bold chronographs are two recent examples gaining popularity. In this case, the name on the dial says "Beacon Hill" but the watch itself is none other than the Glycine Combat.
Dating back over 100 years, Glycine is one of the few Swiss brands that has not only remained continuously in operation, but independent of a takeover from a larger conglomerate. Glycine gained a newfound popularity in the 1950's with the Airman, a 24 hour watch with a rotating bezel popular among pilots owing to its ability to easily track two time zones.
In keeping with its name, the Combat features a stark black military-inspired dial with bold arabic hour markers and an inner 24-hour track with date at 3:00. The case is a 34mm compressor-style case by EPSA, complete with a crosshatched crown- in this execution, however, the case has a matte gray, almost bead-blasted appearance and subtle bevels on the drilled lugs.
Beacon Hill may not mean much to most people, but this piece is yet another example of when the name is only part of the story.
Steel Compressor Case is approximately 34mm (excluding the crown). ETA 2472 movement. Circa late 1960's.
Overall condition: Case is in excellent over all, showing very slight signs of wear from age and some slight scratches on the backs of the lugs. Dial and hands are in good condition showing a fine patina from age across both. Crosshatched crown and unsigned snap-on case back.
Includes one 18mm two-part olive green nylon strap and an 18mm nylon strap by Crown & Buckle.

To study the potential harmful effect of in utero exposure to the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986, and maternal anxiety associated with that exposure, on symptoms of behavior disorder observed at age 14.
The sample included 419 Finnish twin pairs, born in 1985–1987. Prenatal exposure to Chernobyl was determined, and a group of exposed twins (n=232) were compared with a non-exposed reference group of twins (n= 572). The exposed group was further subdivided into three trimesters of pregnancy in which exposure occurred. The Finnish translation of the adolescent Semi-Structured Assessment of Genetics of Alcoholism (C-SSAGA-A) interview was used to assess symptoms of common psychiatric disorders based on DSM-III-R criteria when the twins were age 14. The number of lifetime symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms were compared by means of Poisson regression analyses, adjusted for SES, sex, age and clustering of data.
Adolescents who were exposed from the second trimester in pregnancy onwards, had a 2.32-fold risk (95 % CI: 1.13 – 4.72) of having lifetime depression symptoms, an increased risk of fulfilling DSM-III-R criteria of a Major Depressive Disorder (OR = 2.48, 95 % CI: 1.06 – 5.7) , and a 2.01-fold risk (95 % CI: 1.14 – 3.52) of having ADHD symptoms. No associations with anxiety, CD or ODD symptoms were found.
Perturbations in fetal brain development may result in the increased prevalence of depressive and AHDH symptoms after prenatal stress exposure from second trimester onwards.
Research in animals has shown fairly consistent evidence that exposure to a variety of stressors during pregnancy is associated with increased emotionality, decreased exploratory behavior, and reduced attention in offspring (1–3). Recently, similar associations have been found in prospective human studies, which showed that prenatal maternal anxiety was related to hyperactivity, emotional and inattention problems in infants and children (4–9).
These prospective human studies were based on maternal report of exposure to prenatal stressors, such as high levels of anxiety assessed with self-rating inventories (5–7; 9), or high levels of perceived stress and pregnancy-related anxieties (4; 8). In contrast, all animal studies used a circumscribed and well-defined form of stress, such as restraint, noise, or tail shocks, which was inflicted on the pregnant dam. Thus, the exposure measures in human and animal studies are not easily comparable.
In humans, a general distinction should be made between exposure to self-reported stressors and naturally occurring stressors (10). The former reflect subjective feelings of stress or anxiety of pregnant women, whereas the latter reflect exposure to a disaster or a severe traumatic event, which may be more comparable with the experimental stressors in animal studies. An advantage of naturally occurring stressors is that the timing of occurrence is often known, whereas for most self-reported stressors, the timing of exposure during pregnancy is not exactly known. Thus, for self-reported stressors, it is often difficult to make claims about the timing of risk exposure. A further disadvantage of maternal self-reported stressors is that relations found between exposure to self-reported stressors and adolescent offspring behavior might also be indicative of a shared predisposition towards behavioral or emotional problems. A few human studies have taken advantage of naturally occurring stressors during pregnancy to examine the relationship with offspring behavioral outcomes retrospectively. Meijer (11) showed that the threat of and exposure to the 6-day Arab-Israeli war of 1967 was associated with increased behavioral problems, such as excessive clinging, crying, hyperactivity and antisocial behavior at age 2–10 years. A relatively high incidence of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenic episodes, depressive and neurotic symptoms, alcoholism, and antisocial behavior, was found in children up to age 15 born to mothers who experienced the death of their spouse during pregnancy (12). Prenatal stress exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy caused by the German invasion during the World War II in the Netherlands was found to be associated with a small but significantly elevated risk for schizophrenia (13). Similar results were found after exposure to a tornado during the second trimester of pregnancy (14). The stress of a prenatal exposure to a severe earthquake in China was related to more self-reported depressive symptoms and more signs of severe depression in 18-year-old students when compared with non-exposed peers (15). These retrospective studies have shed some light on potential relationships between prenatal maternal stress and adult psychopathology.
In the present study, we have the unique possibility to test the association of prenatal exposure to a naturally occurring stressor with behavior followed-up in early adolescence. In an ongoing genetic epidemiological study in Finland, several consecutive birth cohorts of twins were invited to participate. One of these cohorts included twins that were exposed in utero to the Chernobyl disaster of April 1986. Although the Chernobyl disaster resulted in the release of radioactivity into the direct and surrounding environment, test results in Finland showed that during the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the highest momentary dose rate measured in Finland was 5 μSv/h, a small fraction of the dose rate (>100 μSv/h) at which the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Authority of Finland advises seeking shelter indoors (http://www.stuk.fi/sateilytietoa/sateilyvalvonta/en_GB/ulk_sateily). Auvinen et al. (16) examined the relationship between the Chernobyl fallout and birth outcomes in Finland and found no evidence for an association. Thus, most likely, exposure to radiation in utero within Finland was too limited to directly influence the development of the fetus. Nonetheless, the threat of radiation exposure while pregnant and the overall effects of such a disaster in a nearby environment may have caused significant prenatal maternal stress.
The aim of the present study was to study the potential harmful effect of in utero exposure to the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986, and maternal anxiety associated with that exposure, on symptoms of behavior disorder observed at age 14. Groups of 14-year-old adolescents that were exposed from early, mid or late pregnancy onwards were compared with reference groups, on internalizing (anxiety and depression) and externalizing (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)) problem behavior.
The sample included 419 twin pairs, 447 boys and 391 girls, born in Finland in 1985, 1986 and 1987. These twins were members of the three youngest of five consecutive birth cohorts of Finnish twins that comprise a population-based twin-family study called FinnTwin12 (17). The full FinnTwin12 sample consists of 2724 twin pairs and their parents, representing nearly 90% of all twins born in the five birth cohorts, alive, resident in Finland, living with one or both biological parents and eligible for study (17). Nested within this population-based sample, 1035 families of twins were selected for intensive study (see 18, for details). This intensive study's main goal was to focus on risk factors associated with alcoholism. Therefore, the intensive study included a randomly selected subsample from the total FinnTwin12 population, enriched with twins at elevated familial risk for alcoholism. The intensive sample consists of a pilot sample drawn from the 1983 cohort (13%), which was randomly selected from a geographically limited region of the main population areas in Finland, a random sample selected from all eligible twin pairs in the remaining four birth cohorts (59%), and an enriched sample (28%), which added twin families in which one or both of the twin parents exceeded a cut-off (≥ 6 of 11 items) of the lifetime version of the Malmö-modified Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (Mm-MAST; 19), an 11-item diagnostic screen for alcohol-related problems, included in both parents' questionnaires administered at baseline. Data collection was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, and the ethical committee of the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Helsinki, Finland.
For the present study, we selected twins that were prenatally exposed to Chernobyl from the last three birth cohorts of the intensive study of FinnTwin12. Seventeen twin pairs were excluded due to a very low birth weight (< 1500 gram) of one or both of the twins, and/or a gestational age shorter than 31 weeks. Prenatal exposure to Chernobyl was determined by subtraction of gestational age from birth date, yielding a group of twins (n=232) who were born between April 27, 1986 and January 26, 1987. All twins (n= 572) born a year before (n= 222) or a year after this period (n= 350) were selected to form the non-exposed reference group.
The exposed group was further subdivided into three periods of pregnancy in which the Chernobyl disaster occurred; (1) first trimester (weeks 1–13 of gestation), (2) second trimester (weeks 14–27 of gestation), and (3) third trimester (>28 weeks gestation). Although the actual starting point of the exposure is known (April 26th, 1986), the endpoint of the exposure period of maternal stress associated with the disaster is unknown, and likely varied across individuals. We therefore use the terms 'exposure from first, or second trimester onwards', to refer to exposure that started in the first or second trimester, respectively. Since the third trimester reflects the final part of pregnancy, exposure in this period is referred to as 'exposure in the third trimester'. The reference group was also further divided into three groups, with similar months of birth as compared to the three exposed groups, in order to control for potential confounding due to season of birth.
The intensive study entailed nationwide interview assessments of the twins, who were interviewed in person at age 14 at the twins' schools by trained staff. For the smaller subset of twins whose school was very distant from any of the research staff, appointments were made for home interviews on non-school days. Data were collected throughout most weeks of the year as soon as possible after each subject's 14th birthday, such that 90% of interviews were completed before the subject was 14 years,6 months old. The staff of Finnish interviewers was trained in standard techniques used by the Collaborative Study of the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA). Intensive training of the initial interviewers was conducted at the Institute of Psychiatric Research at Indiana University Medical School and continued in Finland under supervision of Finnish psychiatrists. Details on interviewer training and procedures are reported elsewhere (18).
The Finnish translation of the adolescent Semi-Structured Assessment of Genetics of Alcoholism (C-SSAGA-A) was used. The C-SSAGA-A is a polydiagnostic instrument that was developed by the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) group for use in adolescence (20). Lifetime diagnoses are made by the C-SSAGA-A for most major psychiatric disorders. The version of the C-SSAGA-A used at the time that FinnTwin12 was initiated provides DSM-III-R diagnosis. The C-SSAGA-A operationalizes each of the symptoms that comprise a diagnostic criteria for the various disorders into questions for the interview. Positive symptoms are defined by responses to one or more key questions. In the analyses, we focused on symptom counts and the presence of at least one symptom rather than diagnoses because the relatively low prevalence (as shown below, Table 2) of diagnosable disorders in a nonclinical sample at the age of 14 decreases the power of the analyses in which an exposed group is compared with non-exposed reference groups. One exception was made for the DSM-III-R diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder.
Background information on birth outcome was compared by means of T-tests for the exposed and the non-exposed groups. Next, we studied the relationship between prenatal exposure to Chernobyl and the number of symptoms of depression, of generalized anxiety disorder, and of ADHD, CD and ODD. Because the distribution of symptom counts was skewed, we used Poisson regression analyses, yielding an Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) and its 95% Confidence Interval (CI). First, an overall test for each outcome variable was performed in which exposed groups were compared with non-exposed reference groups. Second, the relation of exposure in each part of pregnancy with outcome measures was examined. All associations were corrected for clustering of data due to twins' relatedness, by using a random effects model, and we adjusted for SES, sex, and age. Descriptive analyses were carried out in SPSS version 12.0, and Poisson and logistic regression analyses were done in STATA/SE 8.0 for Windows, and p< .05 (two-tailed) was used to determine statistical significance.
Twins born following in utero exposure had slightly higher birth weights than those not exposed, and were slightly younger on average when interviewed at age 14 (Table 1). Moreover, in the exposed group fewer parents were of high SES.
Table 2 provides descriptive information on the prevalence of each of the traits studied in the exposed and unexposed groups. These differences were tested formally by means of Poisson regression analyses and are presented in Table 3.
When those exposed to Chernobyl in utero were compared with those not exposed and when all periods of pregnancy were taken together, a higher incidence was found for lifetime depression symptoms in the exposed group (Table 3); no differences were found with regard to symptoms of other disorders, when those exposed to Chernobyl in utero were compared with those not exposed. Because Table 2 showed that a difference in the prevalence of a Major Depression Disorder Diagnosis may also be expected, we further tested whether a DSM-III-R diagnosis for major depression was found more frequently in the exposed group than the unexposed group, by means of logistic regression analysis, adjusted for SES, sex, age and clustering of data. It was found that exposed adolescents had an increased risk of having a MDD according to the DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria (OR = 2.48, 95 % CI: 1.06 – 5.79, p = 0.036). For exposure from first trimester onwards, no significant differences were found for life time depression symptoms, anxiety, ADHD, CD or ODD symptoms, when those exposed to Chernobyl from the first trimester of pregnancy onwards were compared with those not exposed (Table 3).
Adolescents who were exposed from the second trimester in pregnancy onwards had a 2.32-fold (95 % CI:1.13 to 4.72, p = 0.02) risk of having lifetime depression symptoms (21.1% of exposed adolescents, versus 10.7% non-exposed adolescents). Furthermore, exposed adolescents showed a significant elevated risk (IRR = 2.01, 95 % CI:1.14 – 3.52, p = .02) for having ADHD symptoms (31.6% of exposed adolescents, versus 21.5% non-exposed adolescents).
No significant differences were found for any symptoms when those exposed to Chernobyl in the third trimester of pregnancy were compared with those not exposed (Table 3).
An ongoing genetic epidemiological study in Finland afforded us the unique possibility to test the association of prenatal exposure to a naturally occurring stressor with behavior outcomes in early adolescence. Large groups of 14-year-old adolescents that were exposed from early or mid pregnancy onwards, or during the third trimester of pregnancy, were compared with reference groups. Our results show that adolescents who were exposed from second trimester in pregnancy onwards had more than a two-fold risk of exhibiting lifetime depression symptoms and ADHD symptoms in structured interviews. This effect was found only among those exposed from the second trimester onwards and not after exposure from first trimester onwards or during third trimester; that contrast may suggest that this period in fetal brain development is sensitive to perturbations. We also showed that exposure during pregnancy resulted in a more than 2-fold risk of fulfilling DSM-III-R criteria for Major Depressive Disorder. The twins' mothers had been interviewed with the adult SSAGA on average two years before the twin's own interview; using those data, we performed an additional adjustment for maternal depressive symptoms and found that adjustment did not change these findings (data not shown).
Similar results have been found in several other studies. A relatively high incidence of psychiatric disorders, including depressive and neurotic symptoms was found in children up to age 15 born to mothers who faced the death of their spouse during pregnancy (12). Watson et al. (15) reported more depressive symptoms and more signs of severe depression in 18-year-old students that were prenatally exposed to a severe earthquake in China when compared with non-exposed peers. The latter study found that males exposed in the second trimester differed most from controls on rates of severe depression (19.0% versus 6.8%). No such timing effect was found for prenatally exposed females.
Our findings with regard to ADHD symptoms are also consistent with other studies. Most previous studies that focused on ADHD symptoms after exposure to prenatal stress, were conducted with younger children up to the age of 9 (4–7). Van den Bergh and Marcoen (5) found that high antenatal maternal anxiety, especially in the second trimester, was related to ADHD symptoms and anxiety in 8-to-9-year-olds: this report used a prospective design with its methodological strengths, but the study sample was relatively small (n=52). Nonetheless, it is interesting that the strongest effects in this study were also found for second trimester exposure.
The fetal central nervous system is undergoing development, including rapid proliferation, migration and differentiation, of many critical areas (21) during the second trimester of pregnancy and many neurons are still immature (22). Of interest, the limbic system, including the hippocampus and the amygdala, starts differentiating from the third month of gestation onwards (23). The limbic system is involved in affective disorders. Moreover, the fetal hippocampus exhibits a prenatal peak from week 16–22 in the density of serotonin receptors (24). Thus, perturbations in this period of fetal brain development may affect serotonin receptor functioning, which may explain the increased prevalence of depressive symptoms after prenatal stress exposure from the second trimester onwards in our study and the study of Watson et al. (15).
In contrast, we found no differences in anxiety, CD or ODD symptoms between prenatally exposed and non-exposed adolescents. Apparently, the prenatal exposure may have resulted in more specific behavioral outcomes, i.e. depression and ADHD, rather than resulting in a general increased risk of internalizing or externalizing psychopathology.
We emphasize that the differences in outcome observed here appear to be related to maternal stress associated with the threat of being exposed to radiation, and the overall effects of the Chernobyl disaster in a nearby environment, rather than being due to prenatal fetal exposure to radiation. Auvinen et al. (16) examined the relationship between the Chernobyl fallout and birth outcomes, such as rate of live births and stillbirths, pregnancy loss, and induced abortions in Finland and found no association. In the present study, no adverse effects on birth outcome of in utero exposure to Chernobyl was found. Rather, twins born after in utero exposure had marginally increased gestational ages and higher birth weights than those not exposed. Thus, if present, exposure to radiation in utero has not resulted in adverse birth outcomes. Moreover, the mothers of the twins in the present study lived in all areas throughout Finland, so that the exposure to actual and perceived radiation levels likely show high variability within our sample. However, because the highest momentary dose rate measured in Finland was only 5 μSv/h it is highly unlikely that exposure to radiation in utero has directly influenced the development of the twins in this study. Fetuses may be exposed to excess glucocorticoids when the mother is stressed (e.g. 25–28). Unfortunately we did not, even retrospectively, have individual-level assessments of perceived stress in the mothers of the present study.
Despite this limitation, the results of our study provide evidence for the fetal programming hypothesis, which reflects the action of a disturbing factor during sensitive developmental periods to affect the development and organization of specific tissues, producing effects that persist throughout life (29). More specifically, the present study of a large sample of adolescents shows that prenatal exposure to stress or anxiety may be related to increased risk of depressive symptoms and ADHD symptoms in adolescence. We do not know whether these are transient effects manifesting themselves during puberty or are more permanent and persist into adulthood. These results warrant future studies into the mechanisms related to prenatal perturbations in fetal brain development.

We spent a few nights at one of the cabins at Five Pine Lodge and Spa. Don't be surprised when you drive up to the Lodge, because it is right on a main street. On the same grounds of the Lodge you have a Spa, a movie theater a restaurant and a athletic center. That all makes it very convenient and we took advantage of all the places. One of the negatives was that because of the restaurant and the movie theater we could not park our car near the cabin as all the parking was taken by local visitors visiting both places. That makes it a bit inconvenient when you want to pack things or unload stuff. The cabin itself was awesome. Big, great bathroom a gas fireplace and very quiet and private. We are planning to visit again and next time we would definitely ask for a cabin off the parking lot as we could hear a bit cars leaving until late at night from people who had visited the restaurant or the movie theater. Breakfast at the Conference Center was good and enough for us and the lady who provides the service was very nice and sweet. Its also nice that breakfast is served until 10 am so one can sleep in. We also enjoyed the trails which start right of the grounds near the Spa. All in all we had a relaxed and nice time at the lodge and will definitely come back!

X10 Bridge allows integration of X10 appliance modules, lamp modules, switches and dimmers with SmartThings.
Because SmartThings cannot communicate with the X10 devices directly, a gateway is required to connect these two systems. X10 Bridge uses an open-source mochad TCP Gateway running on a Linux computer and either CM15A or CM19A X10 interface module to communicate with the X10 devices.
Mochad can be installed on any computer capable of running Linux. The only hardware requirement is that your computer must have a USB port and be connected to the same local area network (LAN) as your SmartThings hub. You can use an old laptop or a desktop computer or even a Raspberry Pi as your X10 gateway.
For more information, please visit https://github.com/statusbits/smartthings/tree/master/X10Bridge
Great work, wonder if this could be modified for Insteon compatibility?
Above is the USB PLM modem commonly used to extend Insteon control to Vera.
Yes it can, if there's a server with HTTP interface (REST or CGI) that can talk to it. TCP sockets don't work very well at the moment.
Great ... you stole my "Project" (just kidding...!). But now I definitely have another "starred" Topic.
Expect some questions from me here if I decide to dig up my mothballed X10 components.
Hi! The latest repo for the bridge, https://github.com/statusbits/smartthings-x10 seems to be gone now and I don't see it elsewhere - am I missing something? I'm interested in making use of that code. Thanks for all of your work on this.
I took it down because the plain TCP socket protocol (a.k.a. telnet) is not implemented by SmartThings and this hack does not work reliably. Details are in the thread referenced below. This was discussed 5 month ago and I have no expectations of SmartThings fixing this issue.
Hi.Would it be possible for you to put the code back up on GitHub? It's very possible that it could be fixed to use REST or CGI to send the commands to the X10 bridge. I am very interested in this because I have some extra X10 hardware laying around, and would rather not replace it ALL with Z-Wave modules.Thanks,Ben
Has anyone been able to make the X10 work so far using a Bridge? Using an Insteon or other device?
Here you go:X10 Bridge AppX10 Switch Device Type
FWIW, this has been working quite reliably for me so far.
Glad to know somebody still finds this code useful.
Are you kidding me !. This App saved me a bundle on needing to replace the existing x10 switches. That's a really well written App, I've even adapted it to work with my Harmony Hub.You should upload your code back on github for reference even though it is using the API in a hacky way.
I appreciate your contributions, I got the first one, x10 bridge app installed as smart app, but not sure what to do with the second one, and what next steps are, can you please put more info out?
Sorry, I canned that project long time ago. You may want to ping @zraken since he seems to be able to unearth the sources. But, if I remember correctly, you need to install both the app and the device handler.
x10 bridge app installed as smart app, but not sure what to do with the second one, and what next steps are, can you please put more info out? I have raspberry pi and mochad working. Appreciate help at this point.-john
Install the X10 device code as a new device from the IDE. Then just run the smartapp and follow the step-by-step installation that the app runs you through.
Thanks! That did it. Would really be helpful to do a README with these few pieces of detail!
Excellent work!even though part of that I have to change for windows.I have written my own bridge in c# as a web api, which can take http calls for on/off/dim on devices.just need to modify socket send method, rest would be able to leavarge as is.Thanks so much who ever wrote that.
Where can I download the X10 Bridge app addon? As I would like to be able to use some of the working X10 devices with ST if possible.
Could you provide some very basic install instructions. I'm a developer but I only just unboxed my smart things hub. It would be super helpful for some bullet points. Thanks.
Any chance you can share your modified code for http requests? I'm using X10commander which can take http requests as you mention. I've got that setup and working along with ifttt integration between smartthings and maker which makes it work but would be really nice to change this code to work directly rather than through ifttt for everything.
This is an example of my on get requesthttp://192.168.1.1:8086/?x10command=DEVICE~sendplc~%22M13%20ON%22
That's device M13 ON
Never written an app before but I'm trying!

Other members of the project are Guy Protheroe, Lena Jinnegren, Eric Geisen, Florence Dedam, Murielle Lefebvre, Chester Thompson, Lee Sklar, Phil Collins, Daryl Stuermer and Irene Bustamante. Era's music is a mixture of pseudo-Latin Gregorian chants (the language is constructed, not a real one) with contemporary arrangements in different styles, like rock, synth, electric. The lyrics is based on the beliefs of an old French sect The Cathars. During the live shows vocalists of Era wear medieval clothes and armor. The best known Era's songs are "Ameno", "Divano", "Enae Volare Mezzo", "Don't Go Away" and others. You can download all of the Era hits in mp3 from our site.

Sonakshi Sinha is a busy bee these days. The actress is occupied with the promotions of her upcoming movie Force 2, which also stars John Abraham.
It is customary to cover her Force 2 promotional wardrobe here. But her recent trench coat lookbook swooned us. There is no way we cannot make this a Look Of The Day.
Sona picked a navy blue trench coat from the label Rishta By Arjun Saluja. She was rocking this classy trench coat with a pair of basics; blue boyfriend jeans and white tank top. She finished off the look with a pair of black patent leather boots.
The best part of this lookbook is the trench coat. The buttons adds a nautical appeal and the edgy cutout lends a Victorian touch.
We 100% recommend this lookbook. What do you think? Do you dig this lookbook?

Blitz had a chat to Dan Haggis from The Wombats about the band's namesake, playing in Sydney, and the changes over the past 10 years.
Listen or read ahead for the full interview.
Groovin the Moo 2017 announced yet another phenomenal line up, from home grown legends Tash Sultana, and All Day to international superstars Milky Chance and The Wombats.
Today we have the privilege of speaking to one of these acts from GTM 2017 and one of the greatest acts to come out of a little town called Liverpool, England since the Beatles: The Wombats. But it's not only GTM 2017 for these furry British Marsupials, the Band is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album, and have recently announced an Australian tour. On the phone we have non-other than Dan Haggis, their Drummer and all round top bloke is going to tell us a bit more about this marsupial named band.
Dan, thanks so much for joining us on Blitz Radio. Now I'm not going to beat around the bush, you recently made a huge announcement, the band is doing a side show and Sydney is being blessed with a show at one of our most iconic destinations: the opera house. How does it feel to be playing at such an iconic venue?
I don't think we ever thought we would play that place. It's one of those images that everyone can recognize straight away. It's so iconic. And when the opportunity came up, our Australian promoter said: do you guys fancy doing the Opera House. Obviously we laughed about it, we thought it was almost a joke and we were like: Of Course we want to play at the Opera House. Without sounding too clichéd, it's a dream come true. It's going to be a night to remember and all our family in the UK are looking at flights to come over.
It's funny, a lot of artists and they've all said that when they say: I'm playing at the opera house, suddenly all their family and friends want to come over to watch
Yes of course! For our parents' generation, it's almost a seal of approval. It's not some little rock venue, and even if you've played to loads of people, it doesn't seem to matter, as soon as you say that you're playing at the Opera House they all go: OOOOOHHHHH
Now before we really dig into your return to this sun burnt country, let's talk a bit about the birth of The Wombats. I'm sure you've been asked many a time, The Wombats, why the name? Is the name an homage to one of the greatest countries in the world: Australia?
We've made up quite a few reasons over the years, but I'll spare you the random stories we've made up with hangover. We just needed a name for our first gig and the guy was pestering me for a name. We hadn't got a name honestly because it was our first gig, we haven't looked at the dictionary or plucked a name out of thin air. So I said: Just put the wombats down. He laughed and said that'll do. But we've definitely grew into the name! At first Murph and Todd were like "The Wombats…Really?" I think it's played some part in how many times we've been to Australia. It's been amazing, it's led us on such a random adventure. I'm glad that one moment, that spontaneous decision, was a good thing.
It's been 10 years since: A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation, and you've released two massive albums since then, how do you think the sound of The Wombats has changed over the years?
When we started it was very much: Guitar, Bass and Drums and three vocals, but as you move on and you start to discover different sounds and work with different producers, introduce different synthesizers to our practice room and having different toys to play with. As people we are quite curious for new sounds and we started messing with different things, the sound just got fuller and a bit more synth driven. We always love the element of the guitars and how they drive a song forward and especially when playing live, so we always wanted to keep that side of it. It's exciting at the moment as we are starting to record our fourth album, so we will see where we go with this one.
I was just about to ask: What can we expect from this fourth album?
We are at the really early stages, putting demos together, but we have between 5-10 songs in the mix at the moment. We are off to Oslo, for all three of us to start writing together for a couple of weeks. So we will be surrounded by snow and Pine Trees for the next couple of weeks, which will make a change from grizzly rainy England and sunny Los Angeles for Murph. Hopefully there will be inspiration in those snowflakes.
Why did you guys choose Oslo as the place to write music?
It's where Todd lives, so he can be closer to his family, as he had a little baby before Christmas. So now there is a father in the band now.
That sounds less like a Rock Band vibe to me, now you've got a dad who is worried about bed time for the kids…
[Laughs] Yeh I suppose, but it has to happen at some point in your life, hasn't it? I suppose we are three Peter Pan-esk characters. Todd had been thinking about it for a while and it's a great thing. A different experience in life and hopefully gives different inspiration. Don't worry, me and Murph don't have any kids so we will be tearing it up in Oslo while he is back at home reading story time!
I'm glad you're still upholding the rock band image. Now, every artist has one of their songs that generally resonates with them more than the others, which song is this for you?
Tricky one, on this last tour and album, it was Greek tragedy. I don't know why actually, it took us in a different direction and there a couple of moments in it, that live, just get me every time. Obviously for a drummer, seeing the crowd air drumming along to the intro is always nice for me.
The drumming in Greek Tragedy is amazing and I guess you're to thank for that!
[Laughs] It's kind of weird, when we record we end up playing various instruments, but I did definitely play the drums in that recording.
Let's talk GTM 2017, you are of course one of the biggest acts at this festival. What excites you about playing at this Festival all the way down under?
We did it for the first time six years ago and it has a different vibe to the different festivals. For most touring bands in Australia you go to the main four or five cities. The more regional places tend to get left out of the loop. It's always nice for us to go to new places in Australia and play to people that haven't seen us yet. It's always exciting to discover new places. Last time, when we went to Bendigo, and our management said it's going to be a fairly wild festival and it was! That set the scene for all the other ones. We can't wait to come back and experience it all over again.
Rapid Fire:
If wombats are your first favourite marsupial what is your second favourite Marsupial?
If you didn't play drums, what would be your next choice of instrument?
Some would say that your drum intro for Greek Tragedy is akin to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight", agree or disagree
Wow, that's the best compliment I've ever heard. [re-enacts the intro to in the Air Tonight], I never noticed the similarities, hopefully no call from Phil Collins later
Do you have any recommendations for bars in Tokyo where vampires and wolves wont sink their teeth in, as it is a fear I have about that
Go to Edge End, it's near Shabooya and ask for Endo he is the owner and wear Garlic just in case
Have you ever met some that makes you feel sea sick?
Yeh, seen him on the TV, he has orange hair and orange skin and he is the president of America.
Thanks so much for joining us on Blitz Radio, it's been a pleasure speaking to you. You can catch the Wombats at GTM 2017 or at the Sydney Opera house on Monday the 8th and 9th of May. Dan it's been a pleasure speaking to you and I look forward to seeing you in Australia.

A weekday in Singapore.
Singapore Travel Blog› entry 7 of 7 › view all entries
June 22nd, 2009 – by: ariwardani
This time, we want to try riding a bus. We walk along the road of Bencoolen Street until it crosses with Bras Basah Road. At the corner, there is a food court, so we walk-in to have our lunch there. It is very crowded with white collar employees. Lucky us that there is still one empty table there. My lunch this time is totally a disaster. It is a Tom Yang Noodle again, but it is very very sour. I can barely eat that. So, I fulfill my stomach with Ice Kacang as the desert.
We go to Orchard Road.
After finishing the forms, I go upstairs to visit Hanny, Wilson's wife. I meet Wilson in front of the lift. It's nice that we meet to each other again after 6 years or so.
Then, we say goodbye to them, jumping back to the bus again. This time, we took bus no. 123. It goes until Orchard Road but I take a wrong decision. I think it will come closer a little bit more. I'm wrong. Now, we have to get out because it doesn't go the way we intend to go (Around Bras Basah Road). We are getting lost :) The place when we got out from the bus named Clemenceau Street. I give up taking a bus. In Singapore, if you don't have the exact amount it needs for a certain distance, you will not get a change from the bus driver. It is a difficult regulation. We don't have any coins anymore. Left only several 50 dollars in my wallet and it is impossible to let the driver get my 50 dollars without any change. So, I hail a cab and we stop at the hotel for a few minutes just to take the baggage in then straightforward to the airport.
We took the dinner first at Burger King. There are several hockey players from Argentina and Australia. I talked a bit with some of them while waiting for my order. They just played in Johor Baru, Malaysia for the Junior Hockey World Cup (FYI, Johor Baru is located next to Singapore). Germany was the winner, Netherlands the second, and Australia the third. Unlucky for Argentina because it only got the sixth position after New Zealand and Pakistan.
Because it is only 6 pm while our plane is at 9.00 pm, we go around and take the sky train to go to terminal 3, the newest one. This is the last chance for Raka and Rara to take the train (sky train) back and forth.
Our plane is late, 2 hours! We arrive home very late, almost midnight. Tired but somehow I feel that I don't have enough time in Singapore. Well, perhaps next time.
Perhaps next time.

7th Pay Commission – Even Chance for Issue of 7th CPC implementation Notification pending submission of reports by Committees for Allowances, Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula
After Cabinet decided to approve recommendations of 7th Pay Commission on 29th June 2016, without any change in the quantum of allowances for time being, Finance Ministry was working on hectic pace to issue notification.
This notification is meant for framing revised Pay Rules for new 7th CPC Basic Pay and retirement benefits such as Pension, Gratuity etc., with suitable provisions for paying allowances in pre-revised pay till Government decides on the report of Allowances Committee. The report of Allowances Committee is expected to be submitted in 4 months.
However, after wide-spread disappointment and protests over revised minimum pay and fitment formula, Council of Ministers conducted overnight talks with Union / Staff Side Association leaders on 30th June 2016.
7th Pay Commission minimum wage and Fitment formula – Govt to reconsider
During the meeting, the Council of Ministers promised for constituting a Committee to look into Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula.
Needless to say, this was a prudent move of Govt to avoid Indefinite Strike planned by all Central Government Employees and Railway Employees from 11th July 2016.
7th CPC – NJCA official press statement on postponement of Indefinite Strike
On 6th July 2016, Govt has issued a press release to the effect that it would form a high level Committee to review the 7th pay Commission recommended Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula once again.
Now, it remains to be seen whether Govt would issue Notification for implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations in the lines of Cabinet for the same on 29th June 2016, pending submission of reports by Committees formed / yet to be formed, to study the need for revising allowances, Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula more than what was recommended by 7th Pay Commission.
Highly places sources say, there are even chances for the issue of Notification for implementing the 7th Pay Commission recommendations pending submission of reports by Committees.
Govt may take such a decision in order to implment 7th pay commission recommendations well prior to start of model code of conduct in respect of Assembly Elections in major states such as Punjab, Uttarakhand etc.
Assembly Elections are due in March 2017 for Four States viz., Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa. The term of State Government in Uttar Pradesh ends in the month of May 2017
Alternatively, Govt will have to issue Notification for implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations after
Here is the official press release of Govt issued on 6th July 2016 for constituting a High Level Committee to consider modification of 7th Pay Commission recommended Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula
Government assures Representatives of Unions representing employees of the Central Government that the issues raised by them relating to the pay scales and other recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission would be considered by a High Level Committee
Representatives of Unions representing employees of the Central Government had met the Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, the Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley and the Minister for Railways Sh. Suresh Prabhu in the evening of 30th June, 2016.
They had requested that certain issues raised by them in relation to the pay scales and other recommendations of the Pay Commission be allowed to be raised before a Committee of Secretaries looking into different aspects of grievances of employees in relation to the Pay Commission recommendations.
The Ministers assured the Union leaders that the issues raised by them would be considered by a High Level Committee.

text: Hi everyone! Carrying on from my last thread, it turns out that those brochures I made did give me some positive response. I am working with a couple of other people from my University course and by accident we have created a sub contract Freelance Design company and have one company who have agreed to use us. However I still want to work full time and so in the mean time I have received an offer from a design company. Firstly I had to fill out a questionnaire, then I have been invited for a trial day and then a formal interview if the trial day goes ok. It's a long process, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me with my trial day? All they have said is they have 3 projects for me, none of them are fun and will test me design and communication skills. Thanks!

Many urgent and critical events – in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Israel, to name just a few – are currently capturing national attention. But the story that has piqued my interest the most is the tale of the thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America and Mexico who have crossed into the United States this year. It reminds me of Operation Pedro Pan.
For readers unfamiliar with Operation Pedro Pan, a little history: Between 1960 and 1962, Cuban families, fearing indoctrination by the new leftist government, decided to send their children to the United States. These children – referred to as "Pedro Pans," a play on "Peter Pan" – were sent unaccompanied but with the promise of soon reuniting with their parents. More than 14,000 unaccompanied children made the trip from Cuba, only 50 percent of whom had family members in the United States. It was the largest recorded exodus of unaccompanied minors in the western hemisphere – back then.
Today, U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimates that 77,200 children will be apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2014 alone, including some 59,000 children from Central America, completely eclipsing the number of Pedro Pans from the early 1960s. A UN Office of the High Commission for Refugees study published this spring found that only 36 percent of the unaccompanied immigrant children interviewed had at least one parent in the United States. Like Pedro Pans, most of these children will not see their parents for a long time, if at all.
Many of the children have left their countries to reunite with their parents, and they've paid smugglers a lot of money to make that happen. But most of the children are also leaving violence and poverty back home. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador have some of the highest murder rates in the world and local drug gangs control most of the neighborhoods from where these kids come. These countries don't have much to offer their youth apart from poverty and indifference.
Operation Pedro Pan was a coordinated effort by Catholic charities and the State Department, and there were plans in place to accommodate the unaccompanied children from Cuba. Today's children from Central America and Mexico are not so lucky. Right now, Democrats and Republicans in Congress are fighting over funding and blaming each other for the issue at hand – while these children wait in detention centers where there aren't even enough beds for them.
Under current law, Border Patrol is required to take child migrants who aren't from Mexico into custody, screen them and transfer them to the office of Refugee Resettlement (out of the Department of Health and Human Services). HHS is then tasked with finding a suitable relative to whom the child can be released, or putting the child in long term foster care. At least half of the Central American children should qualify for some form of humanitarian legal status. Migrant children may not qualify for Deferred Action, but many can qualify for asylum.
Yet while Democrats talk about accommodation, the GOP is planning to fast-track deportation for these children. We should not be arguing about deportation and how fast it should happen. Instead, we should be talking about giving these young people the opportunities and tools they need to succeed, and the protection they have traveled thousands of miles to seek.
There are countless reports of Pedro Pans becoming productive members of American society. Some fine examples include former Florida Republican Senator Mel Martinez and our Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce CEO, Otto Merida. If we give these new unaccompanied minors a chance, we can find the next great entrepreneur, scientist, teacher or even elected official. They would be better off here than merely returning to the violence and poverty that awaits them in their home countries.

I am mostly interested in Europop and dance music, but will need a good 80's station (prefereably with an alternative slant like the Cure, Erasure, Depeche Mode, etc.) Any comments or opinions are welcome!

Here's a piece of confusing medical doctrine: in England, smear tests are offered to women from the age of 25. In Scotland, it's 20. A couple of months ago, I checked myself in for a smear test, aged 23. The receptionist was easy to convince: 'In Scotland,' I said, 'the age limit is lower. I'd like to have a test done.' She understood, and booked me in.
But when it came to the appointment, there was no convincing the nurse. I asked why there were different age limits for different parts of the UK. She had no answer. Do the women of Scotland have an increased susceptibility to cervical cancer? No, she didn't think so. So why then? No answer. At this point, she got a little exasperated with my questions, and tried to palm me off with a chlamydia test. I left in a huff.
Age limits on tests are understandable. But given that some parts of the UK seem to think I'm at risk, and others think I'm not, I'd have thought there would be some leeway. It seems not. Friends who have reached 25 tell me they are now bombarded with letters reminding them it's time for their test.
I wasn't surprised to read the sad story about 19-year-old Sophie Jones, who died last week of cervical cancer. She too had been refused a smear test, because she was 'too young to get the disease'. Her family has launched a petition to prompt parliamentary debate into lowering the age limit for cervical screening. Lowering the age limit may not be medically sound – perhaps 25 is the correct age, but it's concerning that no one seems able to explain what's going on with the testing ranges. Either women are at risk at 20, or they are at risk at 25. Geography shouldn't play a part in it. It's time for a bit more clarity on the matter; and if a parliamentary debate will catalyse that, then that's what we should indeed push for.

Springs Rescue Mission Feeds Those in Need
Four men and one woman work around a small kitchen table shredding whole turkeys and chopping cabbage and carrots in the Samaritan's Kitchen at Springs Rescue Mission Jan. 22, 2016 as homeless people from all walks of life wait outside to be served dinner. "Since I've been here people are generally pretty excited to come in. They can see that we're putting an effort into providing good food for them, nutritious and flavorful," said Pam Scharfenberg, a Chef in the Samaritan's Kitchen. "Its very important to have a warm meal during the winter months. One of the things that we try to do is feed people a hot meal loaded with carbohydrates because that's what creates energy and warmth in your body." 27 people are served Turkey a la King with potatoes and bread during the first dinner meal of the evening. Applesauce and granola bars are passed out as a snack. The food is provided by generous donations from the community. Three dinner meals are served in the evenings starting at 4:00pm and ending at 5:30pm. The Samaritan's Kitchen has the ability to serve up to 225 people dinner each evening, Monday through Saturday. "The atmosphere in the kitchen is jovial fellowship," said Ezekiel Conley, Graduate Services Program Culinary Intern and Kitchen Manager. "The dinner program is called Message in a Meal, so there's always a scripture verse and the daily bread read before the meal and the prayer. Most people are receiving of that." Men from the New Life Program do food preparation, cooking, serving, and washing dishes 20 to 30 hours a week as part of the program. Nine men are on shift this evening. As well as one volunteer who comes in regularly to help. Volunteers vary from day-to-day depending on who is scheduled and who shows up. "I volunteer my time because of the fellowship and camaraderie. Everybody has a good spirit here and wants to help," said Ezekiel Conley, Graduate Services Program Culinary Intern and Kitchen Manager. "I used to be homeless, and knowing that I could come off the street and get a meal was very comforting."

The Orthodox Jewish tradition affirms that Jewish exile will end with the coming of the Messiah. How, then, does Orthodoxy respond to the political realization of a Jewish homeland that is the State of Israel? In this cogent and searching study, Aviezer Ravitzky probes Orthodoxy's divergent positions on Zionism, which range from radical condemnation to virtual beatification.
Ravitzky traces the roots of Haredi ideology, which opposes the Zionist enterprise, and shows how Haredim living in Israel have come to terms with a state to them unholy and therefore doomed. Ravitzky also examines radical religious movements, including the Gush Emunim, to whom the State of Israel is a divine agent. He concludes with a discussion of the recent transformation of Habad Hassidism from conservatism to radical messianism.
This book is indispensable to anyone concerned with the complex confrontation between Jewish fundamentalism and Israeli political sovereignty, especially in light of the tragic death of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
A laboratory discussion of the aging process concentrating on discerning the differences between age related diseases and other age factors that may influence testing. Besides a discussion of aging theories, the volume reviews diseases and disorders commonly affecting the elderly and their "appearance" in the laboratory, including disorders linked to oxygen-free radicals, coronary vascular disease, atherosclerosis, immune system disorders, diseases of the liver and kidney, neoplasia, and infectious diseases. These reviews are linked to other non-disease factors such as nutrition or over medication which can mask test results. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Daniela Kapitánová's first novel, Samko Tále's Cemetery Book is narrated by an intellectually and physically stunted creature and arch-conformist who enthusiastically embraces every kind of prejudice both under Communism and in the newly independent Slovakia. This book was a sensation when it appeared in Bratislava in 2000; still a best-seller in its fourth edition, it has been translated into Czech, Swedish, French, German, Arabic, Polish and Japanese and now appears in English. Advance copies now available from the Garnett Press.
Samko Tále's Cemetery Book by the Slovak writer Daniela Kapitá?ová offers us, in a superb translation by Julia Sherwood, one of the strangest and most compelling voices I have come across in years. Muriel Spark meets Russell Hoban. An astonishing, dark and scabrous novel. William Boyd (Guardian 27 Nov 2010).
