Hayek gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the "errors of socialism." Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the "fatal conceit" the idea that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes."

"Masterpiece critique of today's collectivism"
I have been reading for several years political philosophy books, searching an answer for myself as to what is wrong with our predominant model of western society. Even admitting my rightist sympathies, I must say that this book provides the most compelling case I have come across against today's collectivist society. Hayek shows that the call to a primitive-like civilization having as purpose the instant gratification of human instincts, as advocated also by Rousseau, would mean the destruction of our current civilization. Equally, Hayek points out that the socialist/collectivist view that the state can plan all economic activities of its subjects is flawed a priori, since there is no mind or group of minds that can manage the infinite number of economic interactions among those subjects. This is essentially, as I understand it the fundamental error of the socialists. I deliberately avoid the use of the term "society" since, as Hayek demonstrates, it is empty of substance, since the people do not behave like one body.Instead, Hayek proposes an evolutionist view of the organization of human affairs, where, instead of changing what is in place for the sake of change - socialists view a fight to change the existing order without analyzing the merits thereof - we should be mindful of the existing state of affairs, since this is the product of historical evolution, which selected the optimal solution after ages of trial and error. We should nevertheless seek to improve it by respecting the principles of private property.
The question is wrongly put. However, apart from the fundamental message of the book, I should point out to a few chapters. First, the one on the instinct and reason, which shows that this is a false dilemma and that the civilization is result of the evolution of human efforts to master its instincts, through free cooperation.Second, the self-flattering view taken by intellectuals who promote socialism, because they believe they are intelligent enough to decide for the others, which turns them into socialists.Third, that which shows how growth in free market economy, or what he better describes as "extended order", intertwined with population growth. By contrast, today's continuous decline in population in the western world puts a serious question as to the appropriateness of today's economic structure and public policies, where the state is omnipresent.Fourth, the chapter of the historic role of religion is also extremely interesting. Hayek shows that the religion has been the facilitating mechanism through which the best practices selected by evolution have been transmitted throughout the ages. It is not coincidence that religious precepts, e.g. the ten commandments, serve an economic role as well as (my words) a regulatory role within the community. The question, he says, is not whether a divinity exists or not, that is for everyone to consider and he confesses that he personally would incline to answer "no". The most important question is the role that the religion serves in the fabric of our civilization and we should not lose sight of this fundamental role because of the existence question.
The performance may seem a bit dry at first, but you will get used to it once absorbed by the book. Second (audio) reading was better.
The Bible of political education for perennial free world
I realize my comments cannot fully convey the profound insights of the book. If its fundamental ideas are understood and applied, we will live in a better world and will provide a better future for our children.Those who make the effort of reading it will find it enriching and ground breaking.
"It's not all within the capacity of reason"
Reason isn't king
The idea that humans are so adaptable and ingenious that they have developed a way to organize themselves and cooperate to improve their condition that is beyond the bounds of reason alone. It is a subtle idea, that we can actually use our reason cooperatively, and not know how things come to be in an advanced order. For instance, listening to this audiobook on an iPhone. No one person has the knowledge to do this all by himself. It takes thousands of people co-operating in their little spheres of knowledge to make the whole.
I think this is the case against rationalism, meaning that our reason and rationality guide every single that we do. We can only know so much, and things like culture, tradition, morality, and unspoken rules of behavior for which we may not have the understanding of why they are there, are very important economizers that allow us to do greater and greater things within a complicated society. It makes the case that we have to make the most important decision in our lives as well, and it also makes the case that liberty is not the atomistic individualism and permissiveness of an extreme libertarian, but that which is based in property, and respect for property. Those were the 3 things that dominated the book, and were explained exceptionally well--the limits of rationalism, the case for culture, and liberty being based in property being very important.
I am a husband/dad/granddad who loves books. My reviews are my subjective opinions. My hope is they will help others make buying decisions.
"The case for free markets and against socialism"
Hayek is a Nobel laureate in economics. I have previously written a review here of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom which was first released in 1943/1944. The Fatal Conceit was released 45 years later in 1988, 4 years before the death of Fredrich A Hayek. As the full title of The Fatal Conceit indicates, Hayek takes on the foolishness of socialism in much greater detail than he did in The Road to Serfdom. Of course he had 45 more years of additional real world failures of socialism in 1988 than he had in 1943.
In my review of The Road to Serfdom I discuss more about Hayek's philosophy and life which I will not repeat here. But on the topic of political and economic philosophy it is important to properly classify Hayek as a classical liberal rather than a conservative. There is a wonderful essay Hayek wrote in 1960 titled "Why I am not a conservative" that is not copyrighted and is readily available on the web.
I'm unimpressed by the narration of the audiobook. The subject matter deserves better.
"If more had these insights we'd be better off"
Those who seek big government socialism are fooling themselves and those who they wish to take with them to these ends, It doesn't work, can't work and still here we go in an attempt to get there!
How straight forward the truth is and how solid the facts are that socialism fails and why our current President's agenda is so devoid of legitimacy.
My reaction was one of frustration over why our country's voters can't understand that our President's agenda to force us into socialism is so wrong and yet over half voted for more of the same...
"A classic work of seroous philosophy"
A powerful work of philosophy and anthropology. If what you are looking for is an antisocialist rant, don't: this is serious, hardcore philosophy
"A good title"
The narrator was good. I found it hard to get into an engaged listening mindset with the content. That being said, there are plenty of good observations made by the author and well worth the listen.
"Great book, audio varied."
Audio recording jumps in a few places. Other than that, the work is quite detailed in way of theory and history. Hayek presents many arguments I would not have seen the importance of without his thorough explanation. It is, however, even when considering the substantial gap between publication and present a bit lacking in contemporary examinations.
"master course in economics"
brilliant, graduate school level discussion of economics. reader has a low voice and uses soft consonants. i had to keep the volume uncomfortably loud to hear all the words.
"Not an easy book to understand."
I requires a lot of time to understand many if his. I'm not sure who whis audience is supposed to be.
"just buy it"
totally worth it. slow start, but strong finish. rounds off the discussion. still very relevant
"Excellent treaty on socialist's pseudo rationality"
This book provides excellent ammunition for fighting socialists supposedly rational arguments and defending property and individual freedom

In the standard cosmology of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Windswept Depths of Pandemonium is the Outer plane where Chaotic Evil and Chaotic Neutral petitioners are sent after death. Pandemonium is a large, complex cavern that never ends. Compounding this problem, howling winds drive most of its residents mad. There are few creatures that are native to this plane; those individuals who do live there usually have no choice in the matter. It is one of a number of alignment-based Outer Planes that form part of the standard Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) cosmology, used in the Planescape, Greyhawk and some editions of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.
In the Planescape campaign setting, Pandemonium houses the headquarters for the Bleak Cabal faction.
Each of the four layers of Pandemonium is successively deeper within the caverns.
The gnoll deity Gorellik wanders throughout Pandemonium.
Pandesmos is the largest and (relatively) most hospitable of the layers. The headwaters for the Styx are found here.
Pandesmos is the location of a number of godly realms, including Loki and Auril's realm of Winter's Delight, Talos' realm of Towers of Ruin, and Ho Masubi's realm of Uchi-bi.
Cocytus is also known as the "layer of lamentation", for this is where the winds are the strongest.
Cocytus is the location of a number of godly realms, including the god Erythnul's realm of the Fields of Malice, the bugbear deity Hruggek's realm of Hruggekolohk, Cyric's realm of the Shattered Castle.
Phelgethon is the location of a number of godly realms, including the Queen of Air and Darkness's realm of the Unseelie Court, Zeboim's realm of The Maelstrom, and the derro deity Diirinka's realm of Hidden Betrayal.
Agathion mainly contains holes, which double as portals to other planes. This layer is filled with hidden caches of forbidden knowledge and inhuman creatures. It is notable that Orcus's wand was hidden here when he was slain.
Historical inspirationEdit
The name Pandemonium comes from Pandæmonium, the capital of Hell in John Milton's Paradise Lost. The name means "all-demons" in Greek.
Cocytus and Phlegethon are two of the rivers from Hades in Greek mythology, and Cocytus is also the name of the lowest level of Hell in The Divine Comedy of Dante.

FOUR more suspected loan sharks have been detained in Bacup as part of ongoing operations into illegal money-lending.
Trading standards officers swooped on three addresses in the town following a joint operation between the England Illegal Money Lending Team and Lancashire investigators.
It was confirmed that suspects aged 30, 39, 40 and 53 were being questioned and an undisclosed amount of cash had been seized.
Investigators were expecting that the quartet would be released pending further enquiries. The loan shark operation is believed to have been running for a number of months.
The detentions are the latest in the area after former market trader Stephen Fossey was given a suspended prison sentence for running a bogus business across Burnley, Rossendale and Todmorden.
County councillor Janice Hanson, Lancashire's public protection cabinet member, said: "Illegal money lending is an often hidden problem which has a terrible impact on our communities, leaving vulnerable people in financial difficulty.
"It is a crime and not something we will tolerate in Lancashire. We will continue to work closely with the Illegal Money Lending Team and local partners to combat this problem."

Inhibition of Poly(ADP)-Ribose Polymerase as a Therapeutic Strategy for Breast Cancer
Inhibition of Poly(ADP)-Ribose Polymerase as a Therapeutic Strategy for Breast Cancer
As knowledge increases about the processes underlying cancer, it is becoming feasible to design "targeted therapies" directed toward specific pathways that are critical to the genesis or maintenance of the malignant phenotype. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are an example of this new framework. DNA damage repair is a complex and multifaceted process that is critical to cell survival. Members of the PARP family are central to specific DNA damage repair pathways, particularly the base excision repair (BER) pathway. PARP inhibition, with subsequent impairment of the BER mechanism, may enhance the cytotoxicity of agents that generate single-strand breaks in DNA, such as radiation and certain chemotherapy drugs. In addition, PARP inhibitors may induce death through "synthetic lethality" if the DNA repair mechanisms that rescue BER-deficient cells are themselves impaired. This mechanism is thought to underlie the impressive results of PARP inhibition in BRCA-associated breast and ovarian cancer, and may also account for the reported benefit of this approach in "triple-negative" breast cancer. This review will examine the current understanding of PARP inhibition as a treatment for breast cancer, ongoing clinical trials, and future directions for this new approach.
Poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of ADP-ribose from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to acceptor proteins.[1,2] This transfer results in the creation of long, negatively charged, branched polymers on the acceptor proteins. The first PARP (PARP1) was described in 1963.[3] The family has since been expanded to include at least 17 members.[2] PARP1 and PARP2 are the most abundant members of the family, and appear to be the only ones localized to the nucleus. PARP1, the major nuclear PARP, is a 116-kDA protein with two N-terminal zinc-finger DNA-binding domains, a nuclear localization signal domain, and a BRCT-repeat automodification domain.[4] At the C-terminus, a catalytic domain containing the "PARP signature" identifies it as a member of the PARP superfamily.
Role of PARPs
PARPs play an important role in a number of cellular damage response pathways.[5] PARPs are involved in inflammation and, through NAD+-depletion, in triggering cell death in response to stresses such as ischemia. However, the function of PARPs that is most relevant to oncology is their role in DNA damage repair. PARP1 and PARP2 are the family members that participate in this process. Most is known about the action of PARP1. PARP2 appears to participate in the same processes, but it likely also has its own unique functions.[6]
Maintenance of genomic integrity is a critical cellular function. A number of exogenous and endogenous insults can result in DNA damage. To address these various forms of potentially lethal injury, cells have evolved a number of different repair pathways.[7] PARP1 is a major component of the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which is directed toward the repair of certain types of damage to the component bases of DNA and single-strand breaks in the DNA structure.[8,9] PARP1 senses and binds to "nicked" DNA through its N-terminal zinc-finger DNA-binding domains, after which it forms a homodimer. After binding, the catalytic activity is engaged and PARP1 automodifies by adding ADP-ribose moieties to the BRCT repeat domain. The extended negatively charged chain appears both to protect the break from further degradation ("anti-recombinogenic") and to serve as a "beacon" for recruitment of BER effector proteins, such as XRCC1.
PARP1 also appears to modify local histone proteins (especially H1 and H2B) by poly(ADP)-ribosylation. The consequent negative charge may contribute to modification of local chromatin structure, resulting in improved access for repair proteins.[10] Chromatin modification may also be mediated through the action of other proteins, such as ALC1.[11]
PARP1 is not essential for survival. PARP1 knockout mice are viable and fertile.[12] However, these animals are sensitive to DNA-damaging agents such as N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and ionizing radiation. Residual PARP2 activity may be compensating for the loss of PARP1, as PARP1/PARP2 double knockout mice are not viable.[13] Other DNA damage repair pathways are also likely to be involved in the rescue of cells with impaired base excision repair.
Single-strand breaks may result in unattached double-strand ends if they are unrepaired when encountered by a replication fork. To avoid this result, the cell engages repair mechanisms that are involved in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks, such as homologous recombination repair and nonhomologous end-joining.[14] Homologous recombination repair is a high-fidelity mechanism that is activated during later S phase, when a sister chromatid is available to serve as a template for resolving the double-strand break. Nonhomologous end-joining is less accurate, and therefore more likely to result in genomic instability, but it is available throughout the cell cycle. Bone marrow cells from PARP1 knockout mice demonstrate an increased prevalence of sister chromatid exchanges under both baseline and stress conditions, indicating that homologous recombination repair mechanisms are engaged in response to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage when PARP1 is absent.[12] The availability of this repair mechanism is thought to be responsible for the continued viability of cells in which PARP1 function is lost.
Synthetic Lethality
As above, double-strand break repair pathways, especially homologous recombination repair, appear to be critical to rescuing cells that are lacking PARP. Therefore, one would predict that cells with defects in homologous recombination repair would be sensitive to loss of single-strand repair capability through inhibition of PARP activity.[15] Conversely, cells that are competent in repairing double-strand breaks would, like PARP1 knockout mice, experience little effect from loss of PARP function, at least under normal conditions.
Synthetic lethality is the phenomenon whereby loss of products from two different genes results in cell death, which does not occur if either gene product is present and functional (Figure 1). The products of BRCA1 and BRCA2 are known to be critical to double-strand DNA break repair mediated by homologous recombination.[16] If PARP activity is lost in BRCA-deficient cells, such as BRCA-associated breast and ovarian cancers, one would therefore expect that exogenous or endogenous DNA damage that is normally addressed by the base excision repair pathway would result in genomic instability and cell death, since the rescue pathway is not available in such cells. Nonmalignant cells from BRCA mutation carriers should be relatively unaffected, however, because these cells still have functional BRCA gene product and are competent in double-strand break repair.
In 2005, two groups clearly demonstrated that inhibition of PARP causes synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cells.[17,18] Farmer et al demonstrated that the PARP inhibitors NU1025 and AG14361 were highly cytotoxic in BRCA2-deficient VC-8 cells. In addition, small interfering RNA (siRNA) "knockdown" of BRCA2 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in sensitivity to PARP inhibition.[18] Similarly, Bryant et al showed that BRCA-deficient embryonic stem (ES) cells are sensitive to PARP inhibition, whereas heterozygous or wild-type cells are not affected.[17] Subsequent studies in mice demonstrated that PARP inhibition had a significant impact on orthotopic BRCA null breast cancers transplanted from conditional mutant mice.[19-21]
Taken together, these studies provided the preclinical rationale for studying PARP inhibitors as single agents in patients with BRCA-associated breast and ovarian cancer (see below). The concept of treating cancer by causing synthetic lethality is profoundly novel, and is distinct from the more traditional approaches of chemo- or radiosensitization (ie, accentuation or inhibition of repair of a specific type of damage) or combination therapy (ie, which employs agents that have different mechanisms to cause cellular damage through more than one pathway).
In theory, synthetic lethality through PARP inhibition may be applicable beyond the special circumstance of BRCA-associated cancer. Cells with deficiencies in double-strand DNA break repair resulting from other genetic alterations should also be sensitive to this approach. For example, Lord and colleagues performed a siRNA screen to identify other genes that, when inhibited, conferred sensitivity to PARP inhibition.[22] The same group has described sensitivity to PARP inhibition in cells with null PTEN mutations.[23] These early studies suggest that the synthetic lethality mechanism may be applicable to a wide range of malignancies beyond those arising in BRCA mutation carriers.
'BRCA-ness' and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
The preclinical studies described above suggested that PARP inhibitors would be effective as single agents in the treatment of BRCA-deficient cancers. Classically, such cancers are associated with germline BRCA mutations. Somatic mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 appear to be rare in nonhereditary breast or ovarian cancer, although loss of heterozygosity of the genomic regions encompassing these genes is not uncommon. A number of studies have demonstrated reduced expression of BRCA1 protein, however, in certain nonhereditary breast cancers, especially poorly differentiated disease.[24,25] Reduced expression appears to result from either somatic BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation or downregulation consequent to overexpression of regulatory proteins such as Id4.[26-29]
Sporadic breast cancers with reduced BRCA1 expression are usually poorly differentiated tumors that do not express estrogen or progesterone receptors and do not overexpress HER2 ("triple-negative" breast cancer, or TNBC). In addition, many cases of TNBC (but not all) demonstrate a "basal-like" gene-expression pattern, as do most breast cancers arising in BRCA1-mutation carriers. These commonalities have led some to suggest that a subset of TNBC may have a BRCA1 pathway defect that is severe enough to compromise homologous recombination repair.[30] If this is the case, then a subset of TNBC may be sensitive to synthetic lethality induced by PARP inhibition.
A number of caveats should be mentioned with regard to this hypothesis. There is incomplete phenotypic overlap between TNBC, "basal-like" breast cancer defined by gene-expression pattern, and the cancers that arise in BRCA1 mutation carriers.[31] Not all TNBC or "basal-like" cancers are necessarily associated with reduced BRCA1 expression. Even in those that are, it is unclear to what degree homologous recombination repair is compromised. It is therefore premature to assume that PARP inhibition alone will be broadly effective in TNBC by the same synthetic lethality mechanism as in BRCA-associated disease. However, this does not preclude the possibility that the agents may enhance the toxicity of existing chemotherapy agents by increasing the number of double-strand breaks that must be repaired.
PARP Inhibition in Combination Therapy
As a therapeutic strategy, PARP inhibition may have merit even if it does not lead to synthetic lethality by leveraging a defect in homologous recombination repair. Numerous chemotherapy agents (as well as ionizing radiation) induce DNA damage that is usually repaired by the base excision repair pathway, and inhibition of that pathway would be expected to result in increased cytotoxicity. As described above, PARP1 knockout mice were sensitive to treatment with MNU or ionizing radiation, even though they were phenotypically normal and had a normal lifespan in the absence of that stress.[12] This suggests that the ability of the double-strand break repair system to compensate for loss of PARP function is not infinite, and that combinations that increase the stress on that system may be more effective. PARP1 and PARP2 may also have as yet undefined roles in DNA damage repair that, if inhibited, could increase the cytotoxicity of various agents. All of these considerations justify studying the newer generation of potent PARP inhibitors in combinations with conventional cytotoxic agents.

At the present time, the most actively investigated partners in combination with PARP inhibitors are platinum-based agents. The major form of DNA damage induced by these drugs is bulky adducts that are repaired by the nucleotide excision repair pathway.[32] However, they also cause double-strand cross-links that are repaired by double-strand break repair pathways. Cells that are defective in double-strand break repair, such as those lacking BRCA1 or BRCA2, are extremely sensitive to platinum-based agents.[33] Preclinical studies of combination therapy with PARP inhibitors and platinum agents in orthotopic transplants of breast cancers from conditional BRCA mutant mice have shown enhanced efficacy (and toxicity).[19,34] In this situation, the lack of homologous recombination repair capability leads to cell death after exposure to the aggregate insult of double-strand breaks resulting from the inability to repair platinum-induced cross-links and similar breaks resulting from replication fork collapse at the site of single-strand breaks that are not repaired due to PARP inhibition.
If there is a homologous repair defect in TNBC, one would expect specific platinum sensitivity in that setting as well. Clinical studies examining this hypothesis are not conclusive. As noted above, the effectiveness of combination platinum/PARP inhibitor therapy may not require a homologous recombination repair defect. Combining a platinum agent with a PARP inhibitor might increase effectiveness by increasing double-strand breaks to the point where even a competent repair system is overwhelmed. By extension, PARP inhibitors may enhance the effectiveness of nonplatinum agents, and combinations may be effective in settings other than those in which a homologous recombination repair defect is predicted to exist.

At the age of 15, Reuben Metcalfe ran away from home with $80 in his pocket. The teenager dropped out of school, shared a place with a friend, did odd jobs and eventually moved in with his uncle. By the time he was 18, Reuben had completed his qualification in music performance and had steady work as a lead drummer and vocalist in a local band in New Zealand.
"Had I continued on in that town, I'd probably be married with a couple of kids, working at the local music store," says Reuben.
The adventurous young man decided to move to London, England where the music scene was better. However, he didn't have the money to get there, so he sold all of his equipment except for his guitar and his amp. Reuben ended up buying a ticket to Melbourne, Australia first, hoping to save enough money to eventually get to London. "I arrived in Melbourne airport with no job, no house, no friends – just $200 and two changes of clothes," he recalls.
What followed was a string of sales jobs where Reuben learned how to walk up to strangers' doors, introduce himself, and communicate how what he was selling would benefit them. "I read Kiyosaki, Covey and Carnegie," he says. "Most of all I learned how to listen, and how to fail forward."
Eventually, Reuben ended up back in New Zealand and decided to start his own business. When he visited Work and Income New Zealand about a business grant, Reuben learned that he could take a NFTE entrepreneurship course offered by Ahikaa to pursue his dream of starting his own business. "The best part was the people," says Reuben. "You'd be hard pressed to find the right mix of interpersonal skills, genuine caring, and entrepreneurial know-how that I found in the teachers of that course."
The business plan idea that Reuben created for the course was for an alcohol delivery service. "It had all sorts of problems and probably got the worst review of the competition," he says. But a month later, the aspiring entrepreneur came up with the idea for Free Procurement, a business service brokerage that negotiates lower utility bills for its customers. The 23-year-old entrepreneur brokered utility contracts with suppliers to get the best prices for businesses and non-profits.
Reuben eventually left Free Procurement and did some consulting work for a couple of years in the startup scene. But after taking part in a Startup Weekend entrepreneurship workshop, Reuben started a new project called I Dream of Space, which led him to San Francisco, CA.
IDreamofSpace.com is selling 25,000 posters at $10 apiece which enters customers in a drawing for the chance to ride on a suborbital space vehicle. Reuben and his partners created the website in only three hours and had positive cash flow within the first six hours. "Actual Space-travel has always come with a six-figure price tag or more, and people can't engage with that... this is an attempt at democratization. The message here is that Space is finally accessible for everyone, and it's about time, too."
The company was profiled in WIRED Magazine and grew rapidly. Now with over 500 customers in 24 countries, I Dream of Space is looking to get the first private citizen into space in about 18 months—and the lucky individual will have paid only $10!
In addition to running I Dream of Space, Reuben also helps to manage the Kiwi Landing Pad, an international bridge organization established to help New Zealand tech companies grow their business in the United States.
Reuben underscores the importance of the lean startup principles. "It's too easy to spend money in development without testing—you're better to produce something barely functional, and then do iterations based on user feedback," he recommends. "Be lean in market development. Experiment rather than throw money at things."
Reuben's advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: "Don't allow yourself to make excuses to not move things forward. If you're not embarrassed of your first launch, you've launched too late."

Land and sea sauruses found together again in the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. The new discovery of a water-dwelling Mosasaur at least 10ft (3m) long, is not far from the previously discovered land dwelling Ankylosaur. The Anchorage Daily News reports the fossils were found by school teacher Bob Wilk near Eureka, Alaska.
Editorial Comment: This adds to the Hadrosaur found in the same region with shark bite marks on the bones and sharks teeth in nearby strata - all of which adds up to a flood large enough to drown and wash out to sea some huge land dwelling Dinosaurs and bury them quickly enough to prevent total decay.

Nelson's winter magic praised in Edmonton Journal
Nelson and Whitewater have again landed a lengthy travel feature in one of Canada's largest daily newspapers.
Earlier this week, travel writer D. Grant Black penned a 1,000-word feature for the Edmonton Journal entitled "A cosy corner in BC's Powder Triangle: Historic Nelson brims with authentic charm."
"Hype aside, Whitewater is worth the trip, and since it's more than eight hours by road from a major city, it's not an overcrowded weekend resort," Black writes. "Yet those searching for the steep and deep will gladly take any mode of transportation to reach these freshes."
Leading into the section of the feature on the city itself, Black writes: "Nelson, a.k.a. 'The Queen City,' was a silver-mining town first settled in the 1880s. Now it's populated with a colourful mix of the newly arrived turned-on crowd, the entrepreneurial tuned-in folks and the hippie dropouts."
With a population of 812,201, Edmonton is Canada's fifth largest city. The daily circulation of the Edmonton Journal is 100,000.

Today, when I arrived at the office, there was a giant — I mean GIANT– bag waiting for me on my desk. I was like, Oh shit! What's this!? I tore open the bag and inside were … three HUGE bottles of lube. Seriously, if I used lube every day for the rest of my life, I'd probably never be able to make a dent. So I took to the interwebs to see what else I might be able to do with my lifetime supply of lube. Because I'm not the wasteful type. Click through to see how you can put your leftover lube to good use. Basically, it does everything. So, you can just get rid of all your other household products.

This is an alphabet based on the script in the Voynich Manuscript invented by Erik Olsen, who has attempted to create parallels between the frequences of letters in the manuscript and the English language so it would have a similar look. He also attempted to have some sort of logic among similar sounds, though sometimes for the sake of frequency some pairs aren't so logical.

When you use duplex printing (that is, printing on both sides of the paper), you can print a separate blank trailing page. To print a trailing page, the last page must always have an odd page number (that is, page 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on). When the last page is odd, it prints on a new sheet of paper separate from the rest of the form.
Render a trailing page in LiveCycle Designer 7.x
LiveCycle Designer 7.1 includes a script for rendering a trailing page.
To make sure that the last page has an odd page number, do the following:
- insert a blank hidden body page in the form just before the page you want to use as a trailing page.
- insert the following script in the layout:ready event of the form to show/hide the blank page at run-time:
var pageCount = xfa.layout.pageCount(); if(pageCount%2 == 0) { //even, show the blank page to shift the trailing page down to an odd page number form1.blank_page.presence="visible"; } else { //odd, hide the blank page as the trailing page is already on an odd page number form1.blank_page.presence="hidden"; }
Note: The layout event ensures that the trailing page always falls on an odd number, even if the end user alters the form contents. Such alterations cause the layout:ready event to run and adjust the page numbers accordingly.
Rendering a trailing page in LiveCycle Designer ES
LiveCycle Designer ES includes functionality in the Master Pages to handle duplex printing.
- Add Master Pages for odd/even numbers, for the last page, and for the blank page.
- Using the Printing option in the Master Pages page set, set up the form for duplex printing.
- For the odd/even Master Pages, choose the appropriate option in the Master Page >Pagination tab under Odd/Even.
- For the last page, choose the Last Page option in the Master Page > Pagination tab under Placement.
- For the blank page, choose the Blank Pages option in the Master Page > Pagination tab under Odd/Even.
- For the body page that occurs just before the trailing page, choose Go To Even Page in the After settings under the Pagination tab.
Sample files
Here are some sample file showing the solutions as outlined above for Designer 7.1 and ES. I have included some test data files also to test the solutions with different page numbers. You can import the data files into the XDP templates using Designer to test the solutions.

EFI's exhibit emphasizes the power printing businesses have to reinvent themselves by improving both productivity and profitability in a highly competitive and dynamically changing marketplace. "EFI is especially mindful of the need to provide real value to our customers, most of which are independent, family-owned companies," said Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI. "It is our goal to help customers excel by automating their operations and by providing profitable new avenues for growth. Visitors to our booth will see how we do this by bringing innovation to just about every aspect of a printing operation, from job capture and workflow to digital production and superwide format printing." EFI comes to Print 13 with the most awarded lineup in company history: In the MUST SEE 'EMS technology competition directed by Print 13's management firm, the Graphic Arts Show Company, EFI won eight awards, earning more honors than any other entrant. The Innovation Experience At previous trade shows, EFI has featured its Integrated Workflow Experience. Print 13 marks a shift to a broader Innovation Experience fueled by EFI's passion for giving customers a competitive advantage. At Print 13, this includes advanced inkjet technologies such as the EFI R3225 superwide format printer, EFI VUTEk GS2000lx and VUTEk HS100 Pro superwide format products with first-in-class LED technology, a new VUTEk GS-TF thermoforming system, and the EFI Jetrion® 4900ML digital press for narrow format and label printing. EFI GlossControl, a new product premiering at the show, is a post-press device that modifies the gloss appearance of output from electrophotographic dry toner printers to deliver the quality many print end-users prefer. EFI's Innovation Experience at Print 13 also emphasizes the company's industry-leading Productivity Software workflow portfolio, including EFI Pace™, Monarch™, Radius and PrintSmith™ Vision ERP/MIS software; EFI Auto-Count® direct-machine interface technology; EFI OPS and Digital StoreFront® web-to-print and eCommerce software; and the EFI SmartSign Analytics signage data collection and analysis product. Print 13 also marks the North American debut of EFI IQuote, a web-based, JDF-compliant estimating software that can quickly calculate the most efficient production path for jobs. IQuote also provides a simple-to-use but robust interface for fast production simulations so users can make smarter decisions in less time. EFI Fiery ® digital front end and server offerings at Print 13 include new versions of EFI Fiery Color Profiler Suite and EFI Fiery JobFlow digital print workflow products, as well as the EFI Fiery proServer for ceramic tile decoration. EFI Fiery Go, a product making its worldwide debut at Print 13, is a visually appealing and user-friendly mobile app that lets users manage their Fiery servers directly from their iPads. One of EFI's partners, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America, is also launching a new production printer line with EFI in EFI's Print 13 booth. The new Sharp Pro Series MX-6500N and MX-7500N Digital Document Systems are the first production printers to offer full control of EFI's Fiery Command WorkStation® job management interface from the printers' operation panel. EFI in partner booths EFI will also participate in numerous partner locations at Print 13, including the booths for Canon, Konica Minolta, Ricoh and Xerox. This strong partner presence reinforces the value of EFI's market-leading product portfolio and offers visitors an additional view of how these offerings are integrated into real-world, multivendor production platforms.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University volleyball team (9-8, 2-6 SSC) won their third match in a row as they topped the University of St. Francis (27-6) in non-conference action on Tuesday night by a score of three sets to one.
St. Francis got off to a hot start in the opening set and quickly took leads of 9-3 and 17-9. At one point down 24-18, the Lions cut the deficit to 24-21 before being put away by the Saints 25-21. St. Francis had 15 kills in the set compared to the Lions had 13, six of which came from Lauren Campbell.
The Lions battled back in the second set, winning by a score or 27-25 in a back and forth game. Neither team ever had more than a three point lead in a game that saw nine ties and two lead changes. The Saints took their first lead of the game, 22-21, on an attack from Jazzmyne Robbins, but the Lions countered by winning the next three points to retake the lead 24-22. After two consecutive Saints' points, a Megan Donovan spike gave the Lions and 25-24 lead and put them on the verge of winning the set. The Lions were able to cap off the set 27-25 with an attack from Sami Vierk.
The Lions jumped out to a 14-8 lead in the third set and never turned back. At one point during the 25-12 set win, the Lions won 11 of 12 points.
In the fourth set the Lions picked up right where they left off in the third, jumping out to an 11-3 lead. The Saints did not fold though, as they picked up the next four straight points to cut their deficit to 11-7. From that point on it was all Lions. Saint Leo went on a surge and won seven of the next 10 points to take a 22-12 lead. Heather Martin capped off the fourth set win and match victory for the Lions with a thunderous spike that erupted the Bowman Center.
Abby Lovell led the Lions with 41 assists, while Campbell led the team with 12 kills. Reigning Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week Molly Alexander finished the night with 28 digs. Robbins led all Saints with 10 kills.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – In preparation for the 2014 championship segment the International Tennis Association (ITA) released its preseason national and regional rankings and the Lions will head into their season ranked eighth in the nation and fourth in the NCAA South Region.
The ranking is on par with a team that finished play in the South Region title match and third in the Sunshine State Conference, exiting both tournaments with losses to the eventual national champion Barry Buccaneers, who went undefeated in 2013.
The Lions, ranked as high as fifth nationally to end 2013, saw Ismail Lemtouni 50th in the national singles ranking. Lemtouni and teammate Aloua Adjenak at back-to-back in the regional rankings with Lemtouni ranked 18th and Adjenak ranked 19th in singles.
"We look forward to the upcoming semester with confidence in our leadership, talent and depth to our men's team," Acting Head Coach Martin Parkes said. "Returning with almost the full lineup from last year and adding another student-athlete this Spring to our squad, I remain extremely optimistic with our teams unity, senior experience and depth in both singles and doubles that we can achieve great things this semester."
Parkes continued, "We continue to enjoy the challenges of playing in the toughest region and conference in the country, and set our sights firmly on being one of the top two teams in our region and achieve a berth to Nationals, while supporting our athletic departments goal of another Mayor's Cup."
The Lions will put the No. 8 national ranking to the test beginning February 1, 2014 when they travel to St. Augustine to face Flagler College in the season's first match. Saint Leo will head into the season looking to continue its rise in the Sunshine State Conference with sights set firmly on another NCAA Tournament appearance.
The SSC placed four schools in the top 10 nationally with Barry (1), Lynn (4) and Rollins (9) also earning recognition.

A CONCRETE mixer is being decorated with the St George's flag as part of a campaign to raise money for the Primrose Hospice.
People who manage to spot the Accumix Concrete mixer, christened George, anywhere in the West Midlands, and take a photograph of it, are being asked to send their photographs in to the company, which is planning to make a £10 donation to the charity for every unique location they receive a picture from.
The mixers are a common site around the area, but only one of the 11 in the fleet has its own flag decoration.
Managing director Steve Phillips, said: "Accumix Concrete is committed to helping local charities, but we also wanted to show that we are supporting England in the World Cup, so this seemed like a great way to do both. We hope everyone will get behind this campaign and help raise vital funds for a local hospice."
Anyone who sees George making a delivery can email the photograph they take of him to firstname.lastname@example.com giving the street name, area, time and date it was taken.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Martin Luther King Jr. holiday parade steps off downtown at 10 a.m. Monday, to be followed by a "Let Freedom Ring" gospel concert at Metropolitan Park.
The parade will begin at the intersection of Jefferson and Water streets, then continue east on Water Street/Independent Drive, passing the Jacksonville Landing and proceeding under the Main Street Bridge ramp, then make a left on Newnan Street and go one block north to Bay Street.
The procession will make a right turn on Bay -- passing the reviewing stand on the step of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office -- and proceed east to Gator Bowl Way, crossing A. Philip Randolph Boulevard, ending in Lot J of EverBank Field -- across the street from Metro Park.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown and U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown are expected to participate, along with dozens of school groups, churches and organizations.
Channel 4's Melanie Lawson and Tarik Minor will host live web coverage of the parade that can be seen on News4Jax.com.
Organizers of the parade posthumously named JSO Chief L. Jerome Spates as grand marshal.
"The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Foundation Inc. counts itself among a legion of others who owe a great debt to the altruistic nature of one of Jacksonville's finest sons," the group wrote of Spates.
The post-parade celebration at Metro Park begins at 1 p.m. During the event, there will be tributes to Spates, as well as Dr. Chester Aikin, another longtime civic leader who died in the past year.

So, i got this error up on my system.
Fully encrypted with luks. No way to open the OS. But after doing a bit of searching and, 3AM messing around, i managed to fix it. Im not sure how i did it, but i did. These are the step i took....if you can clean it up a bit please do.
PHP Code:
1. Boot up live cd, and log into startx
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get instal hashalot lvm2
4. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/[your logical partition] pvcrypt
5. Execute (in the SAME terminal):
a. mkdir /mnt/backtrack5
b. mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/backtrack5
c. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/backtrack5/boot
d. chroot /mnt/backtrack5
e. mount -t proc proc /proc
f. mount -t sysfs sys /sys
g. apt-get update
h. apt-get install hashalot lvm2
6. Navigate through file browser to /mnt/backtrack5/etc/crypttab and open in text editor
7. You are now editing a file. Add the following:
a. pvcrypt /dev/sdX2 none luks
b. /dev/sdX2 should be the encrypted partition
8. Quit vi (:wq) and execute:
a. Navigate in file browser to /mnt/backtrack5/etc/fstab and open in text editor
b. Change the line about the root partition (the only line with "/" in it. NOT /boot!), make it: "/dev/mapper/vg-root / ext4 defaults 0 1"
9. Execute:
a. cd ~
b. wget http://www.infosecramblings.com/cryptroot.patch
c. patch -u /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot ./cryptroot.patch
d. apt-get update
e. apt-get upgrade
f. apt-get dist-upgrade
g. chroot /mnt/backtrack5
h. update-initramfs -k all u
That should be it. A few of these steps may not be required. I am not a linux genius, but i am good at searching google for the answer....After a while checking i found this, and managed to get my encrypted install working again. If you can bugcheck this and trim it down, please do.
Just make sure you tell us so we can benefit

Did you know?
Jain vegetarians do not eat any root vegetables, so no potatoes, onions or garlic are permissible in the Jain diet.
Shayona vegetarian restaurant in Mayfair has become a firm favourite simply through word of mouth. The locals love it, and if you visit on a Saturday or Sunday during lunch you are sure to see packed tables, and lots of families mixed in with health-conscious foodie types.
This friendly establishment is unique in that it offers Indian cuisine as well as a fusion of Indo-Italian pastas and pizzas. So, how about adding some paneer (Indian home-made cheese) to that pizza?
Shayona is part of a growing number of vegetarian restaurants in Johannesburg, in keeping with global and local trends. It offers a delicious (and karma-friendly) dining experience. Its menu is strictly vegetarian and no onions or garlic are added to the food (in adherence to religious beliefs).
The menu is broad and the Italian touch certainly adds a fun element. The dishes offer a careful mix of spices, an array of choices and unusual veggie mash-ups.
For instance, paneer and mushrooms are paired together in a dosa (pancake), the mung dhal (lentil) samoosas are tasty, the crushed nachos on the Sombrero pizza are unusual, and the potato curry is a winner.
Thalis (Hindi word meaning 'plate') are served and contain varied curries, roti, rice, dhal/khadi and poppadums – an entirely satisfying Indian meal on a single plate! Be sure to find out what curries have been prepared on the day because they vary depending on the vegetables in season.
The sweetmeats (confectionaries), charmingly displayed in a long, rectangular enclosure as you enter the premises, are also excellent.
The restaurant is easy, relaxed and laid back, with a lively hum at all times. It is conveniently located close to popular Johannesburg tourist attractions such as the Apartheid Museum and the Gold Reef City Theme Park.

The deluxe lunch comprises three curries (one with paneer), several rotis, samoosas, poppadums, rice, mango achar, raita (yoghurt-based sauce) and a sweet dessert called shreecan, all in one serving. Also, any of the curries containing Shayona's delicious paneer.

A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
Global oil prices staged a light rebound, reversing earlier losses after news of strong durable goods orders in top crude consumer the United States, dealers say.
In late Monday afternoon London deals, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in March added seven cents to $US113.35 per barrel, after earlier rising close to a three-month peak at $US113.80.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for March or West Texas Intermediate (WTI), closed 56 cents higher at $US96.44 a barrel.
New US orders for durable manufactured goods surged higher in December, led by a jump in commercial aircraft orders, government data showed.
Orders for durable goods - long-lasting products such as vehicles, computers and machinery - rose to $US230.7 billion ($A221.6 billion), up 4.6 per cent from November, the Commerce Department said.
Gold futures settled lower, locking in a four-day losing streak, as some investors shed futures positions ahead of Comex option expiration while others moved to the sidelines before the start of a Federal Reserve policy meeting.
The most actively traded contract, for February delivery, on Monday fell $US3.70, or 0.2 per cent, to settle at $US1,652.90 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold prices faced pressure from Comex gold options for February, which expire Monday to become February-delivery futures contracts, brokers said.
Some gold traders were also cautious to cut their gold holdings ahead of the year's first Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which begins Tuesday.
Most base metals closed slightly higher in London Metal Exchange floor trading, following a mixed batch of US economic data.
At the PM kerb close on Monday, LME three-month copper was up 0.2 per cent at $US8,050 a metric ton. Aluminum was also 0.2 per cent higher at $US2,049.50/ton.
Strong durable goods data from the US provided some support to base metals Monday, although gains soon fizzled when US pending home sales data undershot expectations.
Orders for long-lasting manufactured goods rose 4.6 per cent last month from November, the US Commerce Department said. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a two per cent rise in December.
Later, the National Association of Realtors said its seasonally-adjusted index for US pending sales of existing homes fell 4.3 per cent in December from November to a reading of 101.7.

City of Cape Town and Tourism Radio provide safety info to travellers
We want to provide travellers with a constant stream of information, including safety tips and emergency numbers. – Mark Allewell, CEO, Tourism Radio
Tourism Radio's audio travel guide has proved a very popular means for tourists to access travel information about the sights and places they are passing by, as they move around the city.
Mark Allewell, Tourism Radio CEO, says the partnership with the City of Cape Town will ensure that Tourism Radio users are not only informed about things to see and do during their stay, but are also guided on how to do so safely.
'We want to provide travellers with a constant stream of information, including safety tips and emergency numbers,' he said.
Councillor Grant Pascoe, City of Cape Town Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, said Tourism Radio offers a way to directly convey safety and security information to travellers.
There are two ways the Tourism Radio's travel guide can be accessed. Visitors to Cape Town can hire a Tourism Radio audio device for free from Tourism Radio or participating car rental companies as a value-added service.
The device is then plugged into the cigarette lighter socket and tuned to the car radio. It then becomes a virtual tourist guide, imparting information about attractions and sites in the vicinity of the traveller, while also providing safety information for tourists.
Travel guides are also downloadable for free from Hummba, Tourism Radio's social network for travellers. Through Hummba, Tourism Radio provides audio travel guides for cities around the world. In South Africa, travel guides are available for Cape Town, the Cape Winelands, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Hummba is also accessible as a smart phone application, downloadable from the iTunes or Android Marketplace stores.
The travel guides, available for download through the Hummba application, provide written and visual information about attractions, locate attractions on maps, and provide audio soundtracks about the area and attractions.
The company also partners with companies and destination marketing organisations. They can brand the guides as their own and tailor information according to their needs. For example, travellers hiring an in-car audio device from First Car Rental will be able to access information on First Car Rental's car rental locations around South Africa. First Car Rental has also a smart phone application called the First Car Rental City Guide that enables tourists to download travel guides for several cities in South Africa, where First Car Rental has car rental outlets.
Cape Town Tourism in partnership with Tourism Radio has also created the Cape Town Tourism Walking Tour of Central Cape Town travel guide, which is also downloadable as an application from iTunes and Android Marketplace.
For more information about Tourism Radio, or to find out about booking a free in-car travel guide, visit the company's website.

The Secret Pilgrim: A George Smiley Novel
The Secret Pilgrim: A George Smiley Novel
"There's a price to pay, and the price does tend to be oneself."
To the young trainees at Sarratt, George Smiley is "A Legend of the Service." To Ned, however, he is something even more. Decades earlier—before a mole nearly destroyed the Circus and well before the Cold War yielded to glasnost—Smiley rescued Ned from disgrace and gently mentored him through a long and respectable career. Now, as he listens to Smiley address a new generation of spies, Ned ponders his own clandestine life, the unruly passions and personalities he's encountered—and the doubts he's kept locked away. Brilliantly charting the collision between global politics and individual frailties, The Secret Pilgrim is quintessential John le Carré

If you're planning a retreat away from home, or planning on entertaining a large number of guests, you may want to consider getting the drinks out of the way and off your mind. Prep the night before and pour your cocktail into an air-tight glass jar for a fresh and portable drink option. Now you have your drinks ready to go and already split up into single servings!
This gardeners tonic cocktail is light in both color and flavor. The combination of gin and citrus makes for a fresh and easy drink – perfect for sipping on poolside or at your summer BBQ.
While Pimms is a traditionally British drink, we believe it's light and crisp flavor deserves a whole lot more attention over here in the states. Add a few fresh fruits and berries to the mix and you've got one irresistible cocktail.
While we usually drink beer by the bottle, this raspberry beer cocktail has us strongly considering abandoning the tall bottles and dumping our beer into a mason jar to this sweet sip.

Before you jump to conclusions, the only green herb involved in this purple haze cocktail recipe is the green tea leaves dipped for flavor. Combine with a burst of pomegranate and vodka and we guarantee you'll be reaching for seconds.
Something about seeing fresh berries and herbs floating around your drink makes it really feel like summertime. This picnic cocktail is perfect for relaxing on a blanket with your sweetie by your side.

If your go-to drink is a gin and tonic, it's time to step out of that alcohol comfort zone and try more creative ways to sip on that gin. This muddled blueberry gin cocktail is a great choice for a tasty drink that is both simple and sweet.
I cannot believe we've never tried spiking our cocktails with jam. First on our list is to mix up this Madam Geneva's Jam Cocktail recipe, and then have some fun with our own jam concoctions!

We love margaritas. And pomegranates. And of course, slushies. So we're thinking this pom-a-rita slushie is a triple threat we need to be sipping on come happy hour.

STAFFORD, Texas - A woman said a cable repairman touched her inappropriately in her Stafford home.
Cathy Callahan said it happened on Christmas day when a technician made a routine visit to fix her phone line. After working for about 20 minutes, he was leaving the house when she thanked him for coming out on a holiday.
Callahan said that's when the man fondled and touched her.
"I reached to shake his hand. When I reached to shake his hand, he lifted up my shirt," Callahan said.
She said the man also put her hand on his private parts.
She said she struggled and was able to push him down the hallway and out the front door.
"When he turned, I pushed the door and locked it," Callahan said.
She said her young son was in the house at the time.
Callahan said she tried to wash away the ordeal.
"I went in my shower and I scrubbed myself really hard to try to get him off me," she said.
Callahan said she waited almost two weeks to report the incident because the same technician had been to her house before and she was afraid he would come back and hurt her if he lost his job.
Stafford Police are calling the cause an assault and are investigating.

Administrative tribunals play a significant role in almost every aspect of
legal practice in the public sector, as evidenced by the scores of decisions
rendered weekly by administrative tribunals throughout the commonwealth.
While each administrative agency may have rules or practices that are particular
to that agency, there are common considerations that apply to all administrative
proceedings, and can make the difference between success and failure in your
practice before state administrative tribunals. This program will review
those common considerations, as well as challenging issues that confront
administrative law practitioners.
Intended for attorneys who have at least some experience with administrative
law procedures and practice, this program will include discussion of the
following topics:

Why is it they make you show up early at the airport and nothing is open?
There is a line outside the McDonald's in the San Diego airport waiting for it to open.
Long flight home. Longer for the boys last night. I have thought all along they would get into the playoffs, but I don't know anymore.
They can't make a run and what's worse is there are no signs they will be able to.
They obviously misjudged when they thought all they needed last winter was to land a stud pitcher.
They need so much more.

There is no need to ask who will be to blame if and when Tesco's US adventure is brought to an end. Sir Terry Leahy, ex-chief executive of the UK retailer, has already admitted it will be him.
The Fresh & Easy venture comes under "Courage" in Sir Terry's book Management in 10 Words, published earlier this year. In the book, he called the investment in the new brand "a calculated risk" and pointed out that "even if the entire investment ultimately had to be written off, it would not threaten Tesco's underlying viability".
He reiterated that he was "certain that Fresh & Easy [would] be a success", well-placed to benefit from economic tailwinds "thanks largely to the courageous people who stepped forward to turn an ambition into a reality". Read more
