Canon to Buy Oce for $1.9 Billion
TOKYO/AMSTERDAM, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Japan's Canon plans to buy Dutch copier and printer maker Oce for 730 million euros ($1.09 billion), challenging rivals Ricoh and Xerox in a hunt for growth during the sector downturn.
Copier and digital camera maker Canon and Oce said in a joint statement Monday that Canon intends to offer 8.60 euros per share, or 730 million euros, for Oce's outstanding shares. The offer represents a premium of 70 percent to Oce's Friday close.
Canon's offer follows little over a year after Japan's Ricoh, the world's largest copier maker, bought U.S. office equipment distributor Ikon Office Solutions, a deal which hit Canon's U.S. operations hard as Canon machines had represented 60 percent of the products Ikon handled before the acquisition.
Canon, Oce and rivals have suffered from the economic slump, which forced companies to cut spending, including costs on copying and printing.
Oce, which was loss-making in the past two quarters, has been cutting costs and jobs and has not paid a final 2008 dividend, while Canon and Ricoh reported sharp falls in their quarterly profit last month.
"The deterioration of the economic market circumstances has influenced the performance of the industry but it was not the initiator for the strategic review process which, after thorough and careful evaluation, led to this proposal of joining forces with Canon," Oce CEO Rokus van Iperen told reporters.
Canon and Oce products are mutually supplementary, with the Japanese company having strength in regular office machines and mid- to lower-end production printers, while Oce excels in high-end production printers and advertisement-use large-sized printers, the Tokyo-based company said.
Production printers, or digital commercial printers, are used to print such documents as product manuals and direct mail quickly and in large volume, and are a fast-growing segment of the global printer market.
Oce shares were up 68.5 percent at 8.53 euros by 1119 GMT, after earlier reaching their highest level since June last year.
Including debt and other obligations, the deal values Ocewhich competes with Xerox and Konica Minolta Holdingsat about 1.5 billion euros, Van Iperen said.
Analysts said the deal was good for Oce shareholders, as it solved most or all of the problems the company faced due to the drop in demand. They were divided about a possible rival offer.
SNS Securities said in a note Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N) and Kyocera (6971.T) had sufficient financing options for a counter bid, while Ricoh and Konica Minolta currently had high debt levels and relatively low earnings generation.
Petercam analyst Eric de Graaf, however, said it was unlikely that another bidder would emerge because of the bid price and commitment of some shareholders and Oce's boards.
Preference share holders Ducatus, ASR and INGwhich together hold 19 percent of Oce's share capitalagreed to sell their interests to Canon, while Oce shareholder Bestinver Gestion S.A. has agreed to tender its 9.5 percent stake.
Oce's management and supervisory boards support and will recommend the intended offer, Oce and Canon said.
Canon, the world's largest digital camera maker, is Japan's 6th-most valuable company with market capitalisation totalling $50 billion. Its printers and copiers accounted for 65 percent of total revenues in 2008.
Analysts said the deal is positive for Canon, while potentially negative for rival Japanese copier and printer maker Konica Minolta, which is in a business alliance with Oce.
"Konica Minolta procures high-end production printing machines from Oce, while Oce procures lower-end machines from Konica Minolta," Mizuho Securities analyst Ryosuke Katsura said.
"(The) chances are Canon machines will replace Konica Minolta gear in this relationship," he said.
Shares in Canon closed down 1.5 percent at 3,370 yen ahead of the announcement, underperforming the benchmark Nikkei average .N225, which gained 0.2 percent. ($1=89.60 Yen) ($1=.6685 euros) (Editing by Joseph Radford, Mike Nesbit and Simon Jessop)

Already the longest-serving state House speaker nationwide, Chicago Democrat Michael Madigan has been elected to a 17th term.
The 74-year-old was voted speaker on Wednesday over Republican Jim Durkin 66-51. The vote was split along party lines, aside from Democrat Rep. Scott Drury who voted present.
The vote came as members of the 100th Illinois General Assembly were sworn into office amid a nearly two-year budget impasse.
Madigan tells fellow lawmakers that the last two years have been "extremely difficult" for the state, but there's a chance to move forward in the months ahead.
Republicans funded by Gov. Bruce Rauner had waged a campaign in recent weeks to urge House Democrats to reject Madigan. Madigan has been a state representative since 1971. He was elected speaker in 1983 and held the position for all but two years after.
Protesters, both for and against Madigan, rallied outside the venue.
Chicago Democrat John Cullerton has also been elected president of the Illinois Senate for a fifth two-year term.
Cullerton was elected by the Senate composed of 37 Democrats and 22 Republicans. Sen. Christine Radogno (ruh-DOHN'-yoh) of Lemont was elected minority leader after receiving a nomination for president as well.
The 68-year-old Cullerton is a lawyer who was elected to the House in 1978 and moved to the Senate in 1991.
He was elevated to the presidency in 2009 and immediately led the chamber through the impeachment trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich was removed from office and later sentenced to federal prison for political corruption.
Cullerton's last term expired Tuesday after two years in which the Democratic-controlled General Assembly failed to reach a budget agreement with Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Course description
The objective of this interdisciplinary course is to explore challenges to sustainable modernity in cultural, economic, political and institutional realms.
It is now widely acknowledged that modernity has emancipated us from dogma, promoted individual freedoms, and unleashed unprecedented entrepreneurship and innovation in science and technology, and productivity and welfare in work and social life. But modernity also has a downside. In recent decades, the banner of 'modernization' has often implied the depletion of natural resources, increased social inequality and exclusion, and exacerbating the climate crisis.
Some thinkers suggest that the self-destructive success of modernity has been its competitive mindset and the growing lack of cooperation amongst societies (e.g. Turchin 2007; Sennett 2013; Wilson 2014; Soros 2016). Implicit in this view is a call for a paradigm shift based on a mindset which would foster novel forms of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Against this background, the course will address questions such as:
- How can individual self-interest and the neglect of the commons be reconciled with the work for the public good and less pressure on the environment?
- If competition is the engine of successful innovation - how to square it with fostering a sustainable modernity and the ideal of 'good life'?
This interdisciplinary Ph.D. course has a threefold objective:
1) Using Nordic welfare states as its laboratory, it will explore challenges to sustainable modernity in cultural, economic, political and institutional realms;
2) It will illuminate challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective, involving a dialogue between the social sciences, humanities and evolutionary theory;
3) The course will invite PhD students and lecturers to come up with ideas drafting contours of a more socially and environmentally sustainable modernity.
In addition to lectures, the course will allow those conducting Ph.D. research to present their own work and comment on that of others, guided by senior experienced academics who are themselves working in this field.
Course capacity: 20 students
Language of instruction: English
Syllabus: Approx. 1000 pages of compulsory readings.
Learning outcomes
The course is designed to provide students with:
- A nuanced understanding of the multiple challenges to a sustainable and fair society;
- The ability to critically examine – and come up with solutions to - 'wicked problems' bedeviling late modernity;
- Insights into what make the Nordic model attractive to the world; what are its strengths and downsides; can it be 'exported' outside Scandinavia?
- Knowledge on the nature of cultural, economic and institutional innovation for a sustainable future.
The course invites PhD students to present their work and enrich their insights via an interdisciplinary feedback from - and interplay with - course lecturers and participants.

A man is in hospital with serious injuries after setting himself on fire outside the Oslo courthouse where Anders Behring Breivik is standing trial for mass murder and terrorism.
Police say the man was seen pouring liquid over himself before igniting the liquid and trying to gain access to the court building.
He was stopped by security officials when he reached the temporary security tent set up to scan everyone entering the building during the 10-week trial.
A video posted on the website of the daily newspaper VG showed a man running towards the tent with his black hat on fire, shouting after dousing himself with liquid from a bottle. He is wrestled to the ground by armed security officers who stamped out the flames.
Kjell Kverme from Oslo police said the man had been taken to hospital with serious injuries to his stomach and chest.
Kverme said the man was believed to be Norwegian.

A man witnesses say was kicked by LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson in an Aug. 19 brawl is being accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend in a Baton Rouge bar hours earlier and hitting her friend.
Elizabeth B. Siadous, 18, says in a petition for protection from abuse that on the night of Aug. 18, her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Lowery, 21, followed her to a bar, cursed and yelled at her, cornered her several times and hit one of her friends.
It's worth noting, or perhaps it isn't, that of Lowery and Jordan Jefferson, Jefferson's not the one with a record.

A lot of people tend to ask me a particular question: what is the best way to develop client relationships online?
I believe that such a query is only to be expected. After all, even though the web is filled with possibilities, it does have limits in terms of interaction options. Well, it would be difficult to pinpoint an "ultimate" approach to establishing and maintaining a positive customer opinion. It should be emphasized though, that a few sure-to-be-effective tricks are easy enough to accomplish for just about anyone. If you wish to learn about these techniques, all you have to do is read on.
The first trick to attaining better client relationships is simply to pay attention to the demand for personalization. However, making each transaction "personal" is not the same as allowing your clients to define and alter every aspect of your offering. Indeed, it would be enough to have various products or services that cater to different budgets and tastes. This way, you would not face the hassles of providing "fully customized" solutions and yet your customers would still perceive your company as "sufficiently flexible". In a way, it would be safe to say that making clients happy is as simple as providing enough options.
Aside from being an advocate of "proper personalization", I also believe that first impressions last. This means that your website should be as aesthetically impressive as possible. Moreover, grabbing the attention of would-be clients, even before the first transaction, also entails the need to feed their curiosity. In this sense, you should be ready to answer all questions that they might have in the fastest possible way, which means that you should not only present a detailed FAQ but should also have working contact options. Simply put, it is vital to prove to soon-to-be customers that you are competent.
If the second technique is to "immediately impress", the third one pertains to the need to "follow up". Specifically, you should make it a point to properly respond to queries. The term respond however, should never be synonymous with automated scripts. As I've learned through the years, most customers hate to be answered by a machine and thus are less likely to continuously transact with firms that rely on such a technology. On the other hand, by making each response truly "human", companies gain the trust of their clients. Indeed, proving that you are willing to spend time and effort is crucial.
Attaining entrepreneurial success on the internet is often as simple as focusing on the right goals. As I've pointed out above, you should include three things in your "must-dos": making your offerings personal enough, ensuring that you leave a great first impression, and answering questions without relying on automated responses. As many of my clients have realized firsthand, developing proper relationships on the web is far from impossible and is not even difficult. All in all, just like in any entrepreneurial endeavor, you should always think about your customers' views and needs to know what is necessary for success.

Reducing costs seems to be among the top items on to-do lists these days and NASA is no exception either. The agency's latest project, dubbed PhoneSat, is aiming towards building and launching the "lowest-cost and easiest to build satellites ever flown in space".
We've seen Android being used officially in some instances before (Army tryouts and other Government-related tests alongside private corporate adoption) but this time the little green robot will go into space. PhoneSat 1 will be powered by a Google Nexus One (first gen, HTC-built), and its main purpose will be to send pictures from space. It will also do self-monitoring activities and sending back logs to Earth.
PhoneSat 2 is more evolved, having the Samsung-made Nexus S at its core, pimped out with two-way S-band radio, solar panels, and a GPS transponder. Two PhoneSat 1 satellites and one PhoneSat 2 should go up in space on the back of a rocket later this year. The total cost of each satellite is capped at $3,500, which is pretty good; in fact it's that good we wish we'd build/buy our own.

News Foreign policy Ministry Travel to Poland
22 July 2016
Those attending the event – including representatives of Polish diaspora organizations in Hungary as well as Father George Bese, a WYD trip co-ordinator for students attending St. Benedict catholic schools, were addressed by the Polish Ambassador Roman Kowalski before being shown an animated film about the history of Poland as well other films promoting Poland that were produced specially for WYD.
The Polish Institute prepared food for the pilgrims and gave each attendee a travel kit. "In their package they will receive a little booklet published in Polish and Hungarian about the history of Polish-Hungarian friendship, a flask bearing the logo of our diplomatic missions as well as traditional Polish fudge," the Polish ambassador told PAP.
"The meeting with the Holy Father always sparks a lot of enthusiasm, gives a sense of unity, inner strength and hope for the future," said Father Krzysztof Grzelak, the rector at the Polish parish in Budapest.
He said that over a dozen people from his parish, which was established 25 years ago, will travel to Poland for World Youth Day. According to Miklos Gabor, the director of the Youth Conference Committee of the Hungarian Episcopate, in total 3,200 Hungarians from Hungary in addition to 500 from neighbouring countries will take part in the World Youth Day events.
"We regard these several thousand young Hungarians who are going to Poland as a serious investment in the future of our friendship and Polish-Hungarian relations," the ambassador said.

Take one minute and one second to watch this:
…….This commercial? I haven't seen anything this gay since that Michael Bolton Christmas sweater party at Elton John's house, and there was a double rainbow that day. Cat women everywhere rejoice. Who is the marketing director over there at Fancy Feast? And what does this commercial have anything to do with cat food? I know nothing about the ingredients, health benefits, nutritional value, flavors, nothing. I was prepared to see "Every kiss begins with Kay," and instead I got a bowl of low-grade tuna and a meowing ball of cotton. What's more startling than the advertisement itself, though, is the commentary that followed. Take this one for example:
I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!! Thanks for showing me my dream man/dream proposal!!!!!
….creepier than a mustache at Chuck E. Cheese's.
You know you're a woman when a cat food commercial makes you cry.
Actually, Ms. Killzee, you know you're a hopeless, lifeless, forever single, Chicken Soup For The Pet Lovers Soul-addict when a cat food commercial makes you cry. You need help. The professional variety.
Such a adorable ball of Persian kitty fluff!! I wonder how many guys are going to steal this idea to propose to their ladies??
…Hopefully none. Dear, lord. Are these people joking?
Finally, a voice of reason stepped in, but it sparked an argument:
What a faggot
@LBtownMayor You're awfully defensive. Afraid your wife will see the commercial and start looking for a man who's not afraid to show affection?
This brought a tear to my eye. This was very moving.
The Diary of Anne Frank was moving. The commercial about animal cruelty starring Sarah McLachlan's song Angel was moving. This flamboyant cat food commercial was not, in any way, moving. It was creepy. Creepy and weird.
I love this commercial it makes my heart melt I miss my cat who I had for 19 years, this cat makes me want to get another. I guess I will one day, I still feel like I would be betraying my cat who passed away.
….Thanks for not only completely irrelevant information, but also your hilariously embarrassing feelings. Also, punctuation wouldn't hurt.
Ugh. People. Cat people.
If I were Tiger Woods, I would have just taken my billions of dollars, purchased a home in a remote area in the Caribbean, and disappeared from the world a long time ago. Why hasn't he done this yet? He's never going to get out of the horribly deep hole he has dug himself into. The cheating, the strippers, the poor golf game, the terrible, never-ending publicity—-there's no way out, Woods. Hop on a plane, never to be seen again. It's the only way.
Well, that's enough about cats for one day (get it? Tiger is a cat, too. I'm terribly clever). I'm going to go to bed meow.
"Becca, don't take Taco Bell sauce packets seriously. I had one propose once. Thank God I didn't go through with it."

Irish modern classic cuisine at Mrs. Murphy and Sons in Chicago
In Chicago, the recently passed Saint Patrick's Day need not be confined to drunken parade-goers and green beer. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in Chicago's authentic and important Irish culture the right way, by checking out the dyed-green river for a minute, then heading to Mrs. Murphy and Sons. Maintaining a nice balance of traditional pub vibe with a modern touch—this is food you might find in Dublin today, not tired, Americanized versions of greasy pub grub—Mrs Murphy and Sons stands out among a sea of green.
The expansive space encompasses five dining rooms and two bars, and the dinner menu features a well-executed version of several Irish classics, from boxty potato cakes, house-cut chips, and Guinness and onion soup to Sheperd's Pie and Mrs. Murphy's Corned Beef and Cabbage.
Unlike the ubiquitous beer-soaked bars slinging mediocre fish and chips and the like, Mrs Murphy and Sons—who descend from a family of Irish-American Chicago cops and firefighters—serve up quality, receiving rave reviews since opening in 2005.

January 24, 2002, Section G, Page 3Buy Reprints
TWO years ago, Wayne Westerman, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Delaware, had a problem. His dissertation was almost due, and he couldn't type more than one page a day because of repetitive stress problems that had begun when he was an undergraduate. ''I couldn't stand to press the buttons anymore,'' he said.
For Mr. (now Dr.) Westerman, work also provided a solution. His dissertation in the university's electrical and computer engineering department involved the development of a keyless keyboard, one that did not require the same degree of finger pressure. This new approach to entering data allowed Dr. Westerman, now a visiting assistant professor in the same department, to finish his dissertation and eventually to be free of symptoms.
Dr. Westerman and his co-developer, John G. Elias, a professor in the department, are trying to market their technology to others whose injuries might prevent them from using a computer. The TouchStream Mini from their company, FingerWorks (www.fingerworks.com), uses a thin sensor array that recognizes fingers as they move over the keyboard. The sensors monitor disturbances in the touch pad's electric field, not pressure, so typing requires only a very light touch. Unlike similar touch pads on hand-held computers or on laptops, which only recognize input from a single point, this surface can process information from multiple points, allowing for more rapid typing.
''We thought there would already be something out there that would do multifinger input,'' Mr. Westerman said. ''We ended up building the whole thing from scratch.''
The TouchStream technology also replaces computer mouse movements with gestures across the screen. To issue commands, the user runs various finger combinations over the pad. For ''cut,'' the thumb and middle finger are pulled together in a snipping motion, and for ''open,'' the thumb and next three fingers are drawn in a circle on the pad, as if they are opening a jar. (''Close'' is the opposite motion.) Because the software knows the difference between a typing movement and a mouse or command gesture, the user can give mouse commands anywhere on the pad, even right on top of the keyboard area.
''A lot of electrical engineers come at the problem of input and go immediately to voice recognition,'' Dr. Westerman said. Because he had studied piano for 12 years, he said, the idea of using the technology with multiple fingers made sense to him.
FingerWorks is just beginning to offer commercial products for sale at its Web site. The TouchStream Mini is $199; the larger TouchStream Stealth, which includes an extensive two-handed-gesture set, is $329. The iGesture Pad, which supplants the mouse and number pad, is $189.
Graciela Perez, manager of the lab ergonomics program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, bought one of the FingerWorks keyboards for its ergonomics demonstration room. ''The whole concept is really good,'' she said. Although the keyboard is not the right size for a person with small hands, she added, ''people really like it.''
''Most of our people are on computers with keyboard trays with the mouse to one side, so the shoulder is out or even worse, back,'' Ms. Perez said. ''There's also an anticipatory reflex with mouse work: as someone waits for the next window to come up, they hold onto the mouse for dear life.'' The FingerWorks keyboard, she said, ''forces you to relax. It appreciably reduces force and repetitive issues and encourages dynamic motion.''
The keyboard software is not configured to change key sizes for users with hands of various sizes because the keyboard overlay, which shows users where the keys are, is static. Mr. Elias and Dr. Westerman hope to incorporate a key-size option in the future.
FingerWorks may ultimately introduce handwriting in addition to gestures as an alternative to traditional typing and mousing. In theory, said Mr. Elias, the touch pad could be as thin as a sheet of paper and cover an entire tabletop. At the touch of a fingertip, the tabletop pad's software could reconfigure from a keyboard to a game console to the keys of a musical instrument. No real keys would exist. ''You could spill coffee on it,'' he said.

MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) — A member of Mozambique's parliament says most of the main opposition party's politicians have boycotted a swearing-in ceremony.
Antonio Timba says he was among 35 Renamo deputies who skipped Tuesday's opening of parliament to protest alleged election fraud. Sixteen other opposition politicians participated.
Renamo's leader has called for nationwide protests against last year's election results.
President Armando Guebuza easily won a second term during the October vote. His Frelimo party, in power since independence from Portugal in 1975, swept parliamentary voting.
The opposition accused the ruling party of stuffing ballot boxes and expelling opposition monitors from polling stations to help it win.

Josh Groban 'Brave' Song Premiere: Listen here!
Lead single "Brave," which you can hear in the player above, is the latest example of Groban's continued move toward more guitar-based, rhythmic arrangements - the kind he's been trying out on tour for years to surprise his fans. "We wanted the song to have an intensity and an urgency, even if they're in more of a traditional style vocally," Groban says. "The goal was to try and bridge those two worlds."
Co-written with longtime songwriting partner Tawgs Salter ("You Are Loved"), "Brave" also marks Groban's first collaboration with Canadian singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk. "We've always been sniffing around for the right thing to do," Groban says of his friend of many years. "Tawgs and I wrote this melody and she was in the forefront of my mind, so we gave her a couple of ideas and she just flew with it. Tawgs had been playing this riff on a guitar while I was playing on the piano and the first thing I started singing was 'Wake up, wake up.' So from the get-go we felt this was a song about rejuvenation."
Groban recorded over 25 songs for "All That Echoes," which will feature original songs like the Lester Mendez-assisted "False Alarms," which Groban says was initially written for "Illuminations" but "it just wasn't the right situation." Appropriately, the song is about "being in a relationship where you realize that you're doing all the jumping around and need to be a little more zen about letting the right thing come to you." The set will also feature covers of Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)," Jimmy Webb's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" and The Swell Season's "Falling Slowly" from the movie and Broadway musical "Once."

This is an excerpt from Paul Johnson's playbook dating back to his time as Head Football Coach at Georgia Southern. You can find copies of this playbook throughout the Internet.
Coach Johnson explains these four points.
"12/13 is our inside veer play. We load when the run support (#3) is inside the tackle box. Our option count begins with the first down lineman touching the Playside Tackle (#1). This is the read key. #2 is the next man outside of #1 to Linebacker to Secondary. #3 is the run support." –Paul Johnson
- Playside Tackle calls "3" or "4i" to determine #1.
- Playside Tackle calls "inside" or "outside" to determine if the Linebacker is in the option count. "Inside"= Offensive Line or A-Back account for the Linebacker; "Outside"= Quarterback counts him as #2, reads him, and prepares for the EZ stunt (#2-1 exchange).
- Find #1, 2, 3, and Deep Defender. The Deep Defender is the defender who drops over the top of the Playside Receiver at the snap. There are two Deep Defenders on the field with one on each side; however, if the formation is Over and Heavy, both Deep Defenders are to the formation side.
- Load when #3 is inside the box.

Politics and the Schizophrenic's Language
But more often in this country, assassins are just plain crazy. Maybe not legally insane -- few qualify for that designation -- but crazy in the vernacular sense of unhinged and obviously out of touch with reality. As disturbed individuals, their thinking is idiosyncratic and unpredictable, and their propensity for violence is sometimes telegraphed and noted ahead of time, although often formless and quite general. More importantly, what finally tips them over the edge into action can in many cases never be known, and appears almost arbitrary from the outside.
Who could have ever guessed, for example, the trajectory of John Hinckley, Reagan's wannabee assassin whose bizarre obsession with Jodie Foster in the movie Taxi Driver led to the near-fatal shooting of the president? Loughner's writings and YouTube videos so far indicate that his real motivations are likely to have been at least as idiosyncratic, bizarre, and incomprehensible as Hinckley's, and probably more so. In fact, Loughner's mind may be so disordered that he could end up making Hinckley look like a model of rationality in comparison.
Those who linked Loughner's act to inflammatory Tea Party rhetoric didn't want to wait to find out what they were dealing with. After all, political hay was to be made. If they had been a little more judicious, they would have discovered that this particular killer had been telegraphing his disordered and chaotic thinking for quite some time, thoroughly frightening quite a few people and institutions in the process, although all seemed powerless to stop the train wreck in the making.
But political points aside, what is the possible role of heated political rhetoric, be it on the left or the right, in motivating violent acts such as Loughner's? It's entirely unknown, but there's no particular reason to believe such speech is especially influential. The first category of shooters -- the cold-blooded and rational political assassins, out for political gain---are highly unlikely to be swayed by it. The second -- the crazies, for want of a better term -- can be motivated by nearly anything, and conventional political rhetoric tends to play only a small part in their confused and rambling diatribes.
Mere words are hardly enough to incite an act so extreme and so vicious, whatever the strength of one's political convictions, and however great the anger at the opposition. Most people understand figures of speech, whether the mention of guns be Sarah Palin's "reload" statements or the president's campaign call for bringing guns to knife fights, and most homicidal lunatics are motivated by something far deeper, and far more perverse.

Prisoners of the Dulce Base by Sherry Shriner
@ 11:09 - 11:16 - "Many have been soul-scalped and replaced by aliens themselves who now inhabit their bodies permanently".
@ 13:20, 13:59, 16:49 & 28:23 - mentions cloning, clones and other interesting stuff.
@ 19:30 - 20:09 - "In their insane desire to have human bodies as their own, Aliens have perfected the ability to take a person's soul out of their body and put it 'elsewhere.' This gives them access to a human body devoid of a soul. The body is a shell, a carcass, and they can take over and possess this body and use it for themselves. This is termed as "walking-in." There are two types of walk-ins. Aliens can walk-in and possess a live human body, and/or a dead human, or in this instance, a live human who had their soul removed and then their body was taken over and walked-in by an alien".

Weak prices, poor weather leave EU on course for 2018 wheat area drop
Strategie Grains ditched ideas of a rise in European Union soft wheat sowings for the 2018 harvest, foreseeing them on course for a fourth successive year of decline, undermined by weak prices and wet weather.
The influential analysis group lowered by 300,000 hectares, to 23.5m hectares, its forecast for soft wheat sowings in the EU, the top producer of the grain.
The downgrade took the figure below the 23.7m hectares seeded last year, and further below a recent high of 24.4m hectares, set ahead of the 2014 harvest.
The weakened forecast reflected in part weak prices - with Paris's December futures contract on Wednesday touching E158.75 a tonne, its lowest level since August – besides a wet weather which slowed fieldwork in some parts of central Europe.
'Bad conditions'
"The 2018 harvest has been negatively affected by current low wheat prices and bad conditions at planting time in northern Europe," the Paris-based group said.
Besides highlighting weather setbacks in Scandinavia and the Baltic States, Strategie Grains also said that "conditions did not improve in Germany and Poland, where farmers were unable to fulfil their original sowing intentions".
The comment follows an estimate earlier this week by UFOP, the German oilseeds industry association that the country's rapeseed sowings had fallen by 1.9% to 1.28m hectares – a figure which would be the lowest in 14 years.
UFOP said that the decline reflected in part poor weather, which prevented farmers from undertaking their intended sowings, but noted too some switch away from the crop for reasons of crop rotation, with successive rapeseed plantings risking the spread of diseases such as club root.
Germany is the EU's second-ranked producer of both rapeseed and wheat.
Barley up, corn down
Strategie Grains said that some of the area lost to sowings of wheat – of which the vast majority is autumn planted in the EU – would be switched to barley.
The group forecast EU barley area for the 2018 harvest at 12.4m hectares, a rise of 300,000 hectares, an increase down to spring crop.
"Spring barley… picks up additional acreage for 2018 as a result of the arduous conditions for winter cereal sowings in north Europe and the current favourable price context for barley," the group said.
Corn seedings were see falling by 200,000 hectares year on year to 8.5m hectares, well below the 9.8m hectares recorded in 2013, with price weakness blamed for the decline.
"Once again, grain maize's attractiveness to farmers has been hit by this crop's weak competitive position," Strategie Grains.

Gonzaga rides swarming defense into NCAA championship game
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Gonzaga swingman Johnathan Williams bumped and bruised Sindarius Thornwell throughout the Final Four, shadowing his every step, preventing the South Carolina star from getting the ball, much less a good shot.
The same scenario played out a week earlier in the Sweet 16, only it was Nigel Williams-Goss hounding Jevon Carter, preventing West Virginia's best player from getting a good look with the game on the line.
Once known only for their proficient offense, the Zags have added a dose of gritty defense anchored by two 7-footers, a combination that has put them within reach of the program's first national championship. Gonzaga faces North Carolina in the title game on Monday night.
''It starts with our rim protection and our versatility,'' Gonzaga guard Jordan Mathews said. ''All of our guards can switch onto different guys. What makes us special is our ability to contest on every shot.''
Defense has always been the element that has held Gonzaga back.
A fire-on-all-cylinders offense helped lead the Zags to 19 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, eight times to the Sweet 16. But as they climbed farther into the bracket, the ability to get stops on defense often led to their demise.
That changed this season.
With the two 7-footers guarding the rim and a swarm of versatile, athletic perimeter players, Gonzaga now has the defense to complement its high-powered offense.
The Zags finished No. 1 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency this season and have shut down team after team through the NCAA Tournament.
Gonzaga is holding teams to 62.1 points per game in the tournament, 24 percent shooting from 3-point range and only one team - Northwestern at 41 percent - has shot better than 40 percent.
''To be successful in our game is about taking things away from people and they do a terrific job of taking things away,'' West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. ''Then they've got that great size inside, not just size, but they're good. And they limit you to one shot.''
That size starts with Przemek Karnowski, Gonzaga's center.
The 7-foot-1, 300-pound Polish big man gets his share of blocked shots, but alters so many more. Karnowski often doesn't have to jump to block or affect a shot and posting him up is like trying to back down the Empire State Building.
Gonzaga's second 7-footer, freshman Zach Collins, may be the best NBA prospect left in the tournament and he doesn't even start for the Zags. Agile and athletic, he can swoop in from seemingly nowhere to swat a shot, as he did six times in the Final Four win over South Carolina on Saturday.
Gonzaga coach Mark Few had both of them on the floor together for stretches of the Final Four, giving Gonzaga a double last line of defense that helped shut down the Gamecocks after they made a big second-half run.
''Zach makes it look like you have a clear lane to the basket, but he's right there,'' Mathews said. ''The different looks we can give you and our attention to detail, too, is one of our biggest strengths.''
Having bigs this big gives Gonzaga's already-active perimeter defenders the freedom to play more aggressively.
They never want to get beat, but knowing there's a 7-footer or two waiting under the basket allows them to overplay their man and passing lanes. Gonzaga used its attacking perimeter defense to create numerous early turnovers by South Carolina while building a 14-point lead in the national semifinals.
''We have rim protection and I feel like I can gamble a little, though I don't want to gamble too much,'' said Williams, who often guards the opposing team's best scorer. ''You know if you get beat, those guys in the back are there to pick you up.''
Gonzaga's rotation also is filled with players who can guard multiple positions, allowing the Zags to change looks or switch without worrying about mismatches.
Against South Carolina's Thornwell, Gonzaga started with 6-foot-4 Mathews guarding him, switched to 6-9 Williams, even had Williams-Goss, their point guard, on him at times. The Zags used their quickness to effectively deny Thornwell the ball and alternated between trailing him on screens, fighting over screens and switching.
Thornwell, the tournament's leading scorer at 26 points per game to that point, had 15 points on 4-of-12 shooting.
Against West Virginia, Carter almost singlehandedly kept the Mountaineers in it, hitting one difficult shot after another. In the chaotic closing seconds, Williams-Goss was practically in Carter's jersey as he dribbled around trying to get off a tying 3-pointer. He missed two shots and the clock expired before West Virginia could get another off after a double team by Williams forced Carter to give the ball up.
''Sometimes our defense, it has kind of a cumulative effect on you,'' Few said.
It has all season, putting the Zags on the cusp of history.
