Download Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War. by Gerry Docherty PDF
By Gerry Docherty
A new idea on how global battle I started—not with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, yet quite 10 years previous, via power-hungry males whose lies have infiltrated history
Hidden History uniquely exposes these liable for global battle I. It finds how bills of the war's origins were intentionally falsified to hide the guilt of the key cabal of very wealthy and strong males in London answerable for the main heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For 10 years, they plotted the destruction of Germany because the first level in their plan to take regulate of the area. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand used to be no probability occurring. It lit a fuse that have been conscientiously set via a sequence of command stretching from Sarajevo via Belgrade and St. Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our figuring out of those occasions has been firmly trapped in an online of falsehood and duplicity conscientiously developed via the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by means of compliant historians ever in view that. The reliable model is fatally incorrect, warped through the amount of facts they destroyed or hid from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalizing problem. The authors ask in basic terms that you simply research the proof they lay ahead of you.

We've all heard the news of the pope's resignation this past week. But did you know that the Queen of the Netherlands is also stepping down from her throne? (The Netherlands is home to Douwe Egberts so we here like to keep abreast of Dutch news.)
Last month, Queen Beatrix announced her intention to abdicate the throne on April 30th, 2013, exactly 33 years after she succeeded her mother, Queen Juliana. She will be replaced by her eldest son, Prince Willem-Alexander. Queen Beatrix's husband, Prince Claus, died in 2002 from complications with prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease. Unlike the pope, Queen Beatrix is abdicating not because of the strain of the work but because she says the country should be led by a new generation.
The new king (who will be crowned on April 30th) and his wife will be known as Their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, with the oldest of their 3 daughters Princess Catherina-Amalia, (9 years old) as the next in line to the throne, after her father.
Queen's Day, which celebrates the Queen's birthday (and is held on Queen Juliana's actual birthday of April 30) is a national holiday and one of the biggest celebrations each year in Holland. Starting next year, it will be held a few days earlier and, of course, be known as King's Day. Perhaps not by chance, it will fall on the new King's 47th birthday next year.
We wish the pope, Queen Beatrix and the new King the best of luck in their future endeavors!

2016 saw our 3rd execution of ART720 – a 720 minute art event that begins with artists creating work in a communal, outdoor environment followed by a formal exhibit of the freshly made works.
Participating artists included: Joan Barkovich, Laura Bourdo, Kay Derry, Margaret Errickson, Juanita Gilbert, Jimmy Hines, MaryAnn Lucas, Tracey Meyer, Clark Nunn, Karen Anne Smith, Sally Terrell Smith, Ann Marie Vancas, and Chell Vassallo.
The public were allowed to visit artists as they created works while food and drink were supplied all day.
The event occurred at Next Wall Gallery. Next Wall Gallery is a non-traditional space that is offered to select artists and organizations to provide a Montrose-area location to feature intriguing visual arts events that otherwise could not happen. Owned by Visual Arts Alliance president, Matt Adams and his fiancé, Dominick D'Aunno, M.D., this "underground" space is an unusual part of the Houston art scene.

We're growing, we've prospered and all we needed was just a chance. The old image of Oklahoma City being a minor-league city is outdated. We've always been a great place to live with low-cost housing, virtually no traffic congestion, fresh water and clear air. But we've never been perceived as a great place to vacation. All our positives started to mushroom up in the last 18 months. - Mick Cornett

Potentiometer Sample 1Control of 8 Digital Potentiometers
(click above picture to enlarge)
This sample demonstrates simple control of 8 digital potentiometers. Compatible with all ProXR POT Series Controllers
RS-232 Digital ResistorOur POT Series controllers offer our customers the capability of integrating programmable digital potentiometers into their next computer control application. Potentiometer controllers are available with 10K, 50K and 100K programmable potentiometers. It is possible to set the power-up default state of the first 48 potentiometers. It is also possible to control each potentiometer in 256 steps,allowing fine adjustments under software control. You can control up to 256 potentiometers under software control using additionalUPOT16 expansion modules, you can control each individually or all simultaneously. In addition to potentiometer control the POT and UPOT series controllers include the ProXR command set, allowing you to plug in up to 256 relays into the expansion port.
Resistance OutputPlease keep in mind; our POT series controllers offer a resistance output, and cannot provide a voltage output of any kind without additional electronics. The potentiometers are limited to applications that operate in the 0 to 5V range. Each potentiometer has a maximum current capacity of 1ma. Exceeding these rating will immediately damage the controller.
ConnectionsPotentiometers have 3 Connections: A, Wiper, and B. When a low value is sent to the controller, the wiper moves closer to A, decreasing the resistance between A and the wiper (increasing the resistance between the wiper and B). When a high value is sent to the controller, the wiper moves closer to B, decreasing the resistance between the wiper and B (increasing the resistance between the wiper and A). The first 48 channels of wiper values can be set to a power-up default state. It is possible to set the wipers on all outputs individually or simultaneously.
Output ResistanceSend commands to program the output resistance of each individual output, or you program all outputs at the same time. Other commands allow you to set the startup resistance of each output. The ProXR command set allows you to send commands to activate relays, deactivate relays, control all the relays at one time, plus you can send commands that tell a relay to turn on for a few seconds, minutes, or hours. You can assign 16 timers to any of the 256 relays, and set the timers to go off after the duration has expired. The complete command set can be found in the ProXR Quick Start Guide located in the Data Sheets tab above.

Expert: Mobile app privacy issues may lead to enterprise data leakage
By Robert Westervelt, News Director
LAS VEGAS -- A variety of mobile applications could tap into sensitive business data, such as contacts, email and calendar items, while often failing to properly secure the information.
That's the message from Domingo Guerra, president and co-founder of San Francisco-based Appthority Inc., who told SearchSecurity.com enterprise IT security teams should do more to monitor their employee's mobile device behavior or risk losing valuable intellectual property.
Mobile app privacy is an increasing cause for concern among enterprises, Guerra told SearchSecurity.com, because mobile apps are easily downloaded and can tap into a variety of data sources that could potentially leak sensitive information. Google, Apple and other mobile platform providers say they scan applications for malware and gross negligence, but developers often request too many permissions, tapping into device data that is not needed to make an application work properly, Guerra said.
More from Black Hat 2012
For all the news, analysis, commentary and video interviews from Las Vegas, visit SearchSecurity.com's Black Hat 2012 special coverage page.
The problem arises because developers need to make money off of their creations. They often partner with ad networks, but those networks typically require data collection to some degree in order to sell ads.
"Developers want to monetize, consumers want free apps and then ad networks will pay developers to get all of that juicy data from their users," Guerra said.
At the 2012 RSA Conference, Guerra's firm won the Most Innovative Vendor award for its platform, designed to conduct static and dynamic analysis on mobile applications. It also scores apps based on reputation and the risks they pose by the data they collect and distribute.

Currently AWS does not have a mechanism for Lambda deployment to encapsulate environment specific configuration. You must include configuration files alongside your Lambda functional code.
When working on a photo architecture (https://runsignup.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/runsignup-photo-architecture/) we require ability to be a bit more dynamic in our approach for configuration and not depend on code updates. We decided on using DynamoDB for managing this configuration, and improving performance by taking advantage of the /tmp storage available in container re-use as described here. Below are the options we reviewed and the code for using Lambda + Dynamo + /tmp storage.
Here are some options for being more dynamic and code example for the approach we used.
[Note: If you are using API Gateway there is a better workaround, read here, we require S3 triggers]
a. Update Lambda every time configuration changes and redeploy.Having configuration inside Lambda is a good from a performance perspective, but managing many customer specific Lambda's would be problematic.
b. Use the Lambda description to encapsulate config object.A hack that works (confirmed) and detailed here, however there is a 256 character limit for description field per documentation.
c. Use S3 to store the configuration file.This allows remote storage of configuration via a file. What's better Dynamo as document or S3 as a file? Not too much, though the folks at Concurrency Labs had the same thought process and did a some performance measurements. You can read more about their insights at their blog post here, the following is from their results.
d. Use a more dynamic approach with DynamoDB
Our approach was to use DynamoDB for the configuration store, while using /tmp to gain performance benefit when the container is re-used.

|1950s issue, Many thanks
John Fraser.
The copies available on Abebooks are described as the first U. S. editions from the publisher Archer of a romance concerning a 'sixteen year old runaway Girl in the South Seas' . However, the blurb announcing the forthcoming appearance of Sex is clearly in a typeface of the 1920s, which Haining's annotation identifies as dating from 1928. This, of course, was the year in which Lady Chatterley's Lover appeared, and the blurb writer seems keen to emphasise that Sex was, like Lawrence's novel, a mould-breaking literary event.

Coincidences are incredibly intriguing. Something happening with someone happens with somebody else at the same time with no possible connection. There have been numerous such coincidents throughout history and we have handpicked some of them for your reading pleasure below:
1. History repeats itself
Source: Historiek
Napoleon and Hitler were born 129 years apart (debatable) and came into power 129 years apart. They also both declared war on Russia 129 years apart from one another.
2. He wasn't kidding
Source: Bashny
On June 20, 1940, Soviet archaeologists uncovered the tomb of Tamerlane, a descendent of Genghis Khan. A warning inscription read "Whoever opens my tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I." They opened it anyway. Germany invaded the Soviet Union two days later.
3. Twins Separated at Birth Who Had Incredibly Similar Lives
Source: Firsttoknow
Man, twins are weird! Separated at birth, a set of twins from Ohio each grew up knowing nothing of the other's existence. They were both named James on their adoptions (which might be a weirder coincidence of their respective families), both grew up to be police officers and marry women named Linda. They each had a son, one named James Alan and one named James Allan. They also each had a dog named Toy. They both got divorced, but later each remarried women named Betty.
4. The Hoover Dam's first and last victims
Source: Rarehistoricalphotos
The first worker to die during the dam's construction was J.G. Tierny on December 20, 1922. The last person to die there was J.G. Tierny's son, who died on December 20, 1935.
5. We assume they tip either time
Source: Mosthappy
In 1975, a man was killed when he was struck by a taxi in Bermuda. An unlucky passenger in that taxi had to witness it. A year later, the same taxi driver was driving the same passenger when the taxi struck and killed the original victim's brother.
6. A giant mess of disguised ships
Source: Greatships
During WWI, the British army turned a passenger ship, the RMS Carmania, into a battleship disguised as another passenger ship, the German SMS Trafalgar. Confused yet? It gets better. The disguised ship sank a German ship off Brazil in 1914. That ship was the real Trafalgar, which the Germans had disguised to look like the British Carmania.
7. Mark Twain's comet-framed life
Source: Todayifoundout
Halley's Comet passes Earth about once every 76 years, making it actually not that unlikely that someone's life could be measured by it. One such person is Mark Twain, who was born during its 1835 pass, and died the day of its appearance in 1910. He even predicted it in 1909.
8. The patient bullet
Source: Unexplained-events
When his sister committed suicide after a failed relationship, one man vowed revenge against Henry Ziegland, the man who'd broken her heart. He shot at Ziegland but missed, and the bullet lodged in a nearby tree. Years later, Henry was clearing that very land and used dynamite to remove the tree. The bullet was dislodged with considerable force, struck Ziegland, and killed him.
9. The twin deaths
Source: Thechive
In 2002, a man in Finland was struck and killed while trying to cross Highway 8 on his bike. Two hours later, his twin brother attempted the same crossing, and was also struck and killed, so they were killed about one-and-a-half kilometres from one another, two hours apart.
10. More twin mortality
Source: Thechive
On May 22, 1975, twins John and Arthur Mowforth both suffered from heart attacks. Living 120 km apart, they were admitted to separate hospitals and were not aware of the other's condition. They each died shortly after.
11. Not quite twins, but twin deaths
Source: Phactual
King Umberto I of Italy had a weird dining experience when he found that he and the owner of a restaurant at which he was eating were born on the same day in the same town and had both married a woman named Margherita. On July 29, 1900, the king learned that the restaurant owner had been shot and killed in the street. Later that day, the king was also assassinated.

A new trend in solar energy is slowly growing across California and other states. While residential solar power systems are still the bulk of the solar renewable energy industry, companies are looking for ways to increase their solar energy installations in ways that benefit their businesses. The newest trend in corporate solar energy seems to be the installation of solar canopies over parking lots.
According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, between 35 and 50% of cities are covered in blacktop, which absorbs the sun's rays and retains heat. Covering parking lots with carports made of solar panels has numerous benefits. Drivers spend less energy cooling cars that have been parked Continue reading "Is Your Business Energy Efficient Enough?"

Hey there. I was wondering how your progress on the BF40K mod is and if you've got any idea of when there might be a first release?
I'm just so excited about your mod and I really want to make sure it is'nt dead ;D
Projects dead at the moment and next to no progress. I have been considering whether to release what buggy alpha builds we have.
I was wondering about Firewarrior's close-combat abilitys since they are rather poor in CC. I know that T'au have special melee-based Kroot squads but in large open maps imperial Guard snipers could easilty wipe them out before they could get a chance to get near. So will the Tau have a special melee attack that could stun the enemy so the Firewarrior has a chance to shoot back?. It would be extremly imbalanced if the tau had no stun/melee attack. Imagine haveing snipers picking off Kroot warriors and guardsmen jumping and strafeing just to get close enough and bust thier skull open with bayonets. And BTW, Kaskrin's aren't Cadian storm-troopers, thier basecly more trained and better equiped then standard guardsmen and they never fighted outside Cadia. They're just elite guards not storm-troopers.
uh no you fail. read the codex. Ksrkin are stormtroopers, they are cadian stormtroopers to be exact...
Oh as for weapons, when the original team first released the bf1942 mod it was just before the commercial release of bf2. When bf2 was out we stopped work on bf1942 in favour of bf2.
The bots in bf1942 were never that clever anyway, trust me, try hosting a server on road to rome or plain old bf1942 they are pretty dumb even on hard settings sometimes. Their movement is determined by premapped waypoints.
Our mod was really intended for the multiplayer scene rather than for single player vs bots.
The bf40k extended team then picked up from where we left off and added chaos to the game, from what I last heard their mod team are no their last legs. Very little progress going on. Its a shame as they managed to get at least one release out with chaos in.
The original bf40k team have moved on from the limits of that engine and we are hard at work trying to finish things off for the IG vs Tau release for bf2 presently.

BOOKS American Muslim women tell of love, sex - and arranged marriage
Years ago, friends Nura Maznavi and Ayesha Mattu were chatting over coffee at a cafe in Union Square. Topics of the day were life, love and happiness. And Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
The flick "50 First Dates" - in which Sandler woos amnesia-stricken Barrymore with repeated first dates so that she'll remember him and fall in love - had inspired many imagined romantic scenarios for Maznavi, a rom-com fan.
"I was thinking about what the Muslim take might be," Maznavi says. "I started to think of the funny, opinionated women we knew." In search of love, some of these women had probably gone on 50 first dates, too, sans amnesia.
The two friends decided that they needed a space for American Muslim women to honestly voice their romantic experiences across the board. The result is an anthology - co-edited by Maznavi, an attorney from Los Angeles, and Mattu, a San Francisco development consultant - called "Love, InshAllah."
Sassy, sexy and humorous stories contributed by 25 women document anything from arranged marriage to first lesbian love.
"There are so many stories being told about Muslim women, but not very many being told by us," Mattu says. "I was seeing a lot of articles in the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor or other publications about Muslim dating and matchmaking. Often in the media, only one type of Muslim is given a mike. That's one of the very valid stories out there ... but there are so many stories in the community that haven't been heard."
Mattu and Maznavi challenged the contributors to "Love, InshAllah" to express themselves. After Zahra Noorbakhsh of Oakland spilled her heart out into a story about learning she had a vagina, Mattu and Maznavi demanded more details, wherein Zahra revealed how she lost her virginity.
Changing climate
Even just a few years earlier, opening up on such a taboo topic might have been unthinkable. But in the decade after 9/11, something has changed.
Noorbakhsh thinks that the cultural climate that allows for this kind of discussion is both a blessing and a curse. "The more that has happened in the Muslim world and the more outlandish the attacks on the Muslim community, the more we've had to speak," says Noorbakhsh, now a Bay Area comic.
After their coffee date, Mattu and Maznavi issued a national call for submissions for "Love, InshAllah," which translates from Arabic to "God willing." It turned out to be an apt title for a book that has seen its fair number of trials in getting published.
Sass over academia
People fell in love with the idea - Mattu and Maznavi found contributors and an agent almost immediately - but just when it looked as if things were moving, the agent asked them to revise their lighthearted proposal into something more academic.
The 12 publishing houses they contacted rejected the book, saying it didn't fit into a genre. It wasn't religion, it wasn't chick lit. They weren't quite sure what it was. Then Mattu and Maznavi's agent dumped them.
But the project was a labor of love that Mattu and Maznavi believed in. At the 2010 Litquake, a San Francisco literary festival, Maznavi delivered a one-minute pitch for their book idea at the Pitchapalooza event. "I had it memorized. When I went onstage, I forgot it. But it worked out," Maznavi says. In fact, the crowd went nuts.
They won a consultation with literary agent Arielle Eckstut and author David Henry Sterry, who were on the panel of judges. They encouraged the two women to go with their original proposal, kicking academics to the curb and instead focusing on what they do best - humor and sass and sexiness.
Editor Laura Mazer at Soft Skull Press, an independent Berkeley firm, agreed to publish their book. For the second round of submissions, Mattu and Maznavi wanted even more stories - and a dash more openness - so they decided they would accept a few entries written under pen names.
Diverse contributors
In all, more than 200 writers responded with tales that showcase the diversity of humanity and expressions of love.
The contributors selected for the anthology are from all over the nation, with different ethnic, racial and sexual identities. Just one thing binds them together: The women had to identify as American Muslim.
Some women identify as punk and American Muslim. Others are orthodox Muslim and American. Some identify as lesbian orthodox Muslim and American.
"We all seek to love and be loved for who we are," Mattu says.
Co-editors' stories
The co-editors also contributed their own tales. Maznavi remembers wanting to steal a smooch from her ridiculously hot personal trainer, but ultimately resisting (she's now engaged to another man). Mattu recounts how she unexpectedly fell for her husband, Randy, two weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, and how she got in touch with her faith.
"Talking about love is such an intimate thing. You can go on Facebook and have a relationship status," Mattu says, "but there's a story beneath that - and often a story with many layers."
Love, InshAllah: Anthology. Co-edited by Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi. Soft Skull Press.

Congregational singing is dying off in many churches today. The reason is that as Churches increasingly view the ministry of music as specialized performance and a form of entertainment, and the average Christian thinks "enjoy the show; no need to sing along."
We believe, however, that congregational singing is a duty and privilege to be practiced and cultivated in all churches. Let every member of the church take part in this act of worship. God's people should sing, not merely with the lips, but with understanding and with grace in their hearts, making melody to the Lord.
As public worship is for the praise and glory of God and the building up of the saints, not for the entertainment of the congregation nor the praise of man, the character of the songs used therein is to befit the nature of God and the purpose of worship.
At Redeemer we sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs that reflect the full scope of divine revelation. This includes Biblical Psalms set to meter, classic hymns and the very best of modern hymnody.
In the choice of song for public worship, great care is taken that all the materials of song are fully in accord with the Scriptures. The words are suitable for the worship of God and the tunes are appropriate to the meaning of the words and to the occasion of public worship. Care is taken to the end that the songs chosen will express those specific truths which are appropriate at the time of their use in the worship service.
Musical gifts are properly used in public worship to assist the congregation in its worship of God.
The RPC Choir is a vital part of our ministry of praise. While the choir provides special music throughout the year, it also promotes the goal of congregational singing. Singing in the choir helps develop one's musical ear, improved singing technique, sight reading and harmony. Additionally, Choir practice is a great opportunity for fellowship and sharing a meal together.

The Monster Of Lake LaMetrie
"I did not fairly see the terrible creature until I had swung my machete round."
"He turned and sped through the pass at all speed."
"I ordered the howitzers to be trained upon the murderous creature."
The above illustrations by Stanley Wood from 1899 were made for a short story written by Wardon Allan Curtis involving a monster imagined near Lake Lametrie, Wyoming. Read the full story here.

Stuffed Flounder Recipe
Even though this stuffed flounder recipe calls for flounder fillets, you can substitute it with any thin fillet of fish such as sole or orange roughy. Make sure to rinse your flounder under cold water and pat dry before you start.
Don't be afraid to experiment with these recipe. You can use different types of crab instead of blue crab meat. If you don't have unseasoned bread crumbs, try seasoned crumbs or saltine crackers.

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE, SEASON THREE -- DVD review by Porfle
(NOTE: This review originally appeared online at Bumscorner.com in 2007.)
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE, SEASON THREE picks up right where volume two left off, giving us the 26 episodes that comprise the final season of this irresistibly entertaining Western series which ran from 1958-1961.
But unlike, for example, STAR TREK:THE ORIGINAL SERIES, which was running on fumes during its third and final season, WANTED ended only because Steve McQueen left to pursue a film career. Thus, the series finished stronger than ever with a season of episodes featuring better scripts, sharper dialogue, and roughly twice the amount of gunsmoke and flying lead. Even Rudy Schrager's original music is better this time around.
A distinctive new opening sequence begins with darkness punctuated by three gun flashes. As the title appears, McQueen's "Josh Randall" character steps into the light and holsters his gun with a steely-eyed glare.
As usual, Josh Randall is a decent, laidback sort who only shoots when it's absolutely necessary--he'd rather bring 'em in alive than dead. But if he's pushed too far, he lets the Mare's Leg, the sawed-off Winchester '92 that he carries in a clip holster, settle things in a definitive way. Josh doesn't tolerate rude behavior from bad guys ("You put down that blade or I'm gonna start blowin' off fingers") but will go out of his way to avoid violence whenever possible. Which, fortunately for us, is often impossible.
One episode in particular ("Journey for Josh") finds him falling in love with a female prisoner (Debra Paget's sister, the extremely hot Lisa Gaye) during their trek to another town. Something happens to her along the way which raises Josh's ire like never before, and, in an uncharacteristic moment of rage, he shoots the offending bad guy full of holes. The gunshot sound effects are turned up really loud in this series, too, lending more consequence to each shot fired. (Verna Fields, who handled most of the third season sound effects, went on to edit Steven Spielberg's blockbuster hit JAWS.)
Even more so than before, several of the stories break away from the usual bounty hunter formula in which Randall is either tracking someone down or bringing him in for trial. More and more, in fact, he finds himself being hired for all sorts of things, from keeping a prospective bridegroom on the wagon until his wedding day ("The Cure") to helping a young widow retain custody of her son while her domineering mother-in-law uses her wealth and political connections to take him away from her ("One Mother Too Many").
In a particularly exotic episode ("The Long Search"), he helps a Japanese mail-order bride locate her reluctant husband-to-be and not only finds himself participating in an elegant ancient tea ceremony in the middle of nowhere but also runs into an ill-tempered samurai intent on turning him into sushi.
Such a broad premise allows writers such as TV veterans Ed Adamson and Norman Katkov to come up with a wide variety of engaging stories, some of them intensely dramatic, which easily sustain interest throughout. Each 26-minute mini-Western is superbly rendered with movie-quality black and white cinematography by talented directors including Richard Donner (SUPERMAN, THE OMEN) and Murray Golden (ST:TOS' "Requiem for Methuselah").
There are even several comedy episodes which give Steve McQueen a chance to exploit his playful side. I actually LOL'd a few times at "Baa-Baa", the story of a distraught couple who hire Josh to find their beloved pet sheep, Baa-Baa. When news of his latest assignment gets around, Josh becomes a laughingstock at the local saloon and almost gets hanged by a couple of sheep-hating cattlemen for his trouble. It got to the point where I was laughing every time a character said the name "Baa-Baa." The final shot of Josh being chased across the prairie by a smitten Baa-Baa is just plain nutty.
As always, every time Josh Randall rides to a different town for which an indoor set is used, it's the same town that served as "North Fork" on another Four Star production, THE RIFLEMAN. It's fun to see how all the signs and certain bits of scenery are switched around in an effort to make it look different each time. In season two, you can spot a sign for North Fork's Doc Burridge, and in this collection Lucas McCain's favorite blacksmith Nels Svenson appears long enough to get murdered by some escaped outlaws. Even the interior and exterior sets for Lucas McCain's ranch are reused here and there, notably in "The Long Search."
The guest cast continues to offer a wealth of interesting character actors in addition to past and future stars. These include a young James Coburn (McQueen's co-star in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and THE GREAT ESCAPE), Paul Burke, Harold J. Stone, Tom Drake, RIFLEMAN regular Bill Quinn, Olan Soule', Don Gordon, director Mark Rydell (ON GOLDEN POND, THE COWBOYS), Cloris Leachman, J. Pat O'Malley, Frank Albertson, Richard Anderson, Gloria Talbot, Warren Oates, Howard Morris, Noah Beery, Richard Farnsworth, and an insanely-young Mary Tyler Moore.
Jeanette Nolan is unrecognizable in an incredible performance as a spooky Mexican witch woman in (what else?) "Witch Woman", while "The Choice" is a special treat for old-time horror fans as it offers an aging Dick Foran (THE MUMMY'S HAND, THE MUMMY'S TOMB) as an over-the-hill bounty hunter whose concerned wife hires Josh to make sure that her husband survives his final hunt for a desperate outlaw.
But it's the series star, Steve McQueen, who makes this show so much fun to watch. He's ever so cool, but not in a detached way. His Josh Randall character is warm, caring, funny, fallible--in other words, human. He loves money, but he values honesty and friendship even more. His love life consists mainly of brief encounters with the various dancehall girls he's gotten to know over the years, which are usually played for laughs. But when the situation gets dangerous, you can always depend on him to say something cool and go into action.
Add this to all the other elements that make WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE one of the best Western series of all time, in addition to seven featurettes, and you've got a 4-disc DVD collection that provides a wagonload of pure entertainment. As Josh Randall would say: "Let's go!"

text: I've seen #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso in loads of flat lay blog photos. I wondered what the big fuss was about. Who the hell is Sophia Amoruso and why is this book so popular? Never heard of her. When I looked more into it, I found out that she's the CEO of Nasty Gal, which I have heard of. After hearing and seeing more about this book I decided to jump on the bandwagon and read it.

Las Chicas del Cable – four women in 1920s Madrid –
Cloche hats, colorful flapper frocks and bobbed hair. What's not to enjoy about the new Netflix produced series Cable Girls or Las Chicas del Cable– the frivolous title aside. Drawing some inspiration from recent films like The Changeling and the 2013 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, there is a feeling of the story having a present day relevance thanks to a modern music soundtrack which has a distinctly feminine edge, which initially jarred on me, but as each episode has continued, actually enhances the lives of these young women, living in a world dominated completely by Men.
That being said, a few 1920s ditties by Louis Armstrong would not go amiss. Set in 1928, could we not have at least one play of my darling Annette Hanshaw's "I can't give you anything but love?". Ah well !
A regular highlight is the eye catching opening graphics of Cable Girls and haunting theme song Salt by Brenna Miles.
The story interweaves the lives of four young women of very different backgrounds who all work together as Cable operators at a large telephone company. A powerful sisterhood gradually develops between them, and they each go to great lengths to help each other out of their various predicaments.
There's plenty of romance in the story ( they're young after all) , and though it's a bit soapy at times, you will get hooked by the sheer charm of all the characters. The cute flapper costumes are a pleasure to behold, fitting snugly on wafer thin bodies (nowhere near the accurate body dimensions of most women of that era of course) but who cares, this is show business ! The lipstick is perhaps a little too 1940s for the time. Certainly the wearing of red was confined to evenings, but I'm not going to nick pick.
The four main protagonists are Alba ( she of the shady past) played demurely by Blanca Suárez ;Carlota ( rich kid running away from her oppressive father) played by Ana Fernández ( my favorite of the girls and the most relevant ); the confident Ángeles Vidal (Maggie Civantos), who has to cope with an alpha male abusive husband; and shy mousy but quickly maturing Marga (Nadia de Santiago). A sobering report by the UN that 1 in 3 women still experience sexual violence, puts a little context to this story that some things have not changed very much in the past 90 years.
While the story's premise is about the women, the brotherhood of Carlos (Martiño Rivas) and Francisco (Yon González) is a surprising and welcome addition to the story as is Carlota's love interest, the feminist Sara, played by Ana Polvorosa who adds some spice to the drama.
Cable Girls is the first Netflix outing for director Carlos Sedes and producers Teresa Fernandez and Ramon Campos, following on from their recent success Gran Hotel. At episode 8, so far so good, with another 8 episodes to conclude season one on the way hopefully. Glamourdaze wishes Las Chicas del Cable the best !
That's all !

As we get older it begins to show in our face and sometimes a resting face can be mistaken for a frown. Today there are so many options to reduce the signs of aging. Fortunately this means that there are a variety of surgical and non-surgical options. Vollure is a versatile injectable dermal filler; it is especially effective to correct wrinkles and lines in the area around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). Vollure is made up of hyaluronic acid, and reduces the signs of aging by adding a modest amount of volume deep under the skin to smooth lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are a great option for those who do not wish to go through a surgery and are looking for a simple natural looking result.
Vollure vs. Juvederm XC
|What it does
|Juvederm XC
|Nose and mouth
|1 year
|Nose and mouth
|18 months
Of course with any procedure, results vary depending on a number of factors but the most important factor in order to get satisfying results is the certified expert injector who performs the procedure. Our Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, Ariel Kirk, RN is highly experienced and received extensive training in cosmetic Neurotoxins and fillers through Allergan, Medicis and Merz Aesthetic.
– Melissa L.
Candidates for Vollure should be over 21. Ideal candidates are those who have moderate to severe wrinkles or parenthesis materializing around the nose and mouth. These lines can often be associated with looking sad or angry. Patients should be healthy and have realistic expectations of what Vollure can do for them. Vollure will not completely erase the signs of aging but instead will reduce the appearance of wrinkles giving you a more youthful and natural looking glow.
Before Vollure Treatment
The first steps of receiving a Vollure treatment is setting up a consultation with our Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS), Ariel Kirk. Patients should inform the certified expert injector of any allergies or conditions you have or medications you are taking.
Ariel will brief you on what to expect during and after your procedure. This way you can fully understand the nature treatment and he will make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
After Vollure Treatment
There may be some minor swelling or soreness in the area of injection in the few days following the procedure. Patients can return to work after the procedure. There is no downtime associated with this procedure.
The results of this procedure are gentle natural looking reduction of wrinkles in intended areas. Most often it will appear as if patients have not had any procedure done at all, just a natural looking rejuvenated face is the only indication. The results of Vollure are long-lasting but are not permanent, lasting 18 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the procedure take?
Vollure is not a surgical procedure, so it does not require as much preparation of more serious procedures. Depending on the areas being treated and the severity of the lines, treatments take 15 to 6 minutes.
Does it hurt?
Vollure is designed to have a thin needle making it less uncomfortable. Most patients do not find the procedure to be painful. If you are concern, you can ask for topical anesthetic before the procedure.
When will I begin to show results?
Results will be noticeable immediately!
How long will the results last?
Of course, every patient and case varies, but typically results will last up to 18 months. If you wish to keep up with results, you can receive some fill in treatments before the 18 months are up.
Can Vollure be used for other parts of the face?
Though Vollure is versatile, it delivers the best results around the nose and mouth. If you are considering correcting other parts of the face with fillers ask Ariel about which fillers work best where.

A week ago, it hardly seemed like a real thing but now Hurricane Harvey has certainly left behind a hard dose of reality for many people.
My little corner of the world saw excessive amounts of rain but very little damage. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for countless other communities and neighborhoods. Many quilters are responding by sending both cash and quilts to comfort those who have lost their homes and belongings. APQS Austin is serving as a collection point for donated completed quilts.
What kinds of quilts are best for donations?
Washable, color-fast fabrics would be my first choice. These quilts are likely going to be owned by people who are not yet in their permanent residences – the quilts may be moved several times, be used on cots, air mattresses, or even on the floor. They must be able to withstand being washed in a machine and dried on high.
Bigger quilts are better than smaller ones. No one really has use for a wall hanging at a time like this. A lap quilt might be fine for a person in a wheelchair or a baby, but a larger quilt could be folded to suit that purpose and could also be used by an adult.
People need help RIGHT NOW – not a year from now. If you are a slow quilter, pick a quilt pattern that you can whip through in a short period of time. Like a jelly roll race or a patchwork of 5″ or 10″ squares. Speaking of squares and jelly rolls – consider using pre-cuts. I know that many quilters enjoy the process of selecting just the right fabric collection for their quilts, but that ritual also consumes time.
Gender and age neutral fabrics are also an important consideration. You want your quilt to appeal to the broadest range of recipients. You definitely don't want someone to sleep under a quilt they hate and dispose of at the earliest opportunity!
A donated quilt is a piece of home for people who have lost everything they owned and a literal and figurative hug and cocoon for someone in need of comfort. Please consider donating one this month.
This week's free pattern would be a good one to use in a donation quilt. While it looks complex, it should be something that you can put together in a weekend.

Why Pizza Is The Most Popular Italian Ethnic Food
Have you ever wondered about the most popular ethnic food in all of America? Although it would seem likely, the answer is not Mexican food. Pizza is actually the most popular ethnic choice. It was brought here by the Italians, and ever since, Americans have taken a liking to it.
About 17 percent of all restaurants in America are pizzerias. Every year, Americans gobble down roughly three billion pizzas. If you can try to comprehend just how much food that is, you're going to have a very hard time. America has a heart for pizza. The truth about pizza ovens might be stranger than fiction. There are many of the best pizza oven reviews to be found. However, if you want the best pizza oven, then you'll need to read the reviews.
In the United States, pizza is a 30-billion dollar industry. There is no doubt a lot of money to be made from pizza. The question that most people have is what toppings can I get? Out of all of the different toppings that you can have put on your pizza, pepperoni is the most popular.
Every single day, Americans chew through more than 100 acres of pizza. That thought is really hard to imagine, but it's true. They say variety is the spice of life, but to be honest, most people are perfectly fine with pizza.
How Many Slices
A typical American consumes about 23 pounds of pizza each year, which is the equivalent of about 46 slices. Almost every American alive can eat about one pizza every single month.
October is actually National pizza month. The US contains over 60,000 different pizza restaurants, so if you ever feel the urge, chances are good that you can get a pizza from somewhere enearby.

Note: This story is developing.
Paris, France was rocked with bomb blasts and mass shootings today. At least 35 are known dead, with 100 or more in a hostage situation.
According to the Daily Caller, hostages are being slaughtered one by one:
CNN Australia Anchor Michael Holmes has tweeted out that people inside the Bataclan have been texting because "terrorists are slaughtering them one by one."
People inside #Bataclan "begging police to raid the theatre because the terrorists are slaughtering them one by one " #Paris – social media
— Michael Holmes (@holmescnn) November 13, 2015
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the deceased, those who are held captive, and the entire city of Paris. As of yet, no one group has claimed credit, but authorities are suspecting it was a Muslim terrorist attack, for reports such as this from FoxNews:
No one immediately claimed credit, but a gunman at one of the attacks, at a Petit Cambodge, a Cambodian restaurant in the city's fashionable 10th arrondisement, was heard shouting "This is for Syria!" as he sprayed gunfire at horrified patrons, witnesses said.

At least one of the explosions was the result of a suicide bomber:

Not shockingly, some Muslims around the world are rejoicing, like this guy. H/T to Daily Caller:

— Abu Saalihah (@AbuSaalihah15) November 13, 2015
In a state of emergency (obviously) President Francois Hollande has closed the French borders. Because border security matters, doesn't it? For a nation to be protected from attacks, the first thing you need to know is who is coming in and out. Look, it brings us no joy to say this, but when tragedy and emergency strikes, everyone becomes a Conservative. Borders are closed in France. Because borders matter. France hasn't been hit this hard since World War II, because this is five times the attack of Charlie Hebdo. Of course, back in January, liberals called for understanding of Islam and condemned anyone who would mock the prophet (read Actually, The Future SHOULD belong to Those who 'Slander' Muhammed). Then we have world class idiot Piers Morgan:
These murderers aren't refugees. Nor are they real Muslims. They're terrorists who've hijacked a religion for nefarious gain. #paris
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 13, 2015
Annoyingly, even American news outlets are dancing around the M word. Muslim. With people reporting shooters and bombers were screaming "Allah Akbar" seems obvious this was a Muslim terrorist attack. Good luck finding reference to that in breaking news. As our friend Milo noted:
Just come back from dinner and seen Paris news. Awful. Who is responsible? All the news reports are being cagey.
— Milo Yiannopoulos (@Nero) November 13, 2015
Okay, time to look at the macro issues here. Searching Twitter, what we see is an outpouring of love and support for Paris. Parisians are standing up in solidarity with the victims. They're sending prayers and love, and in my search I noticed a contrast to what we normally see over in the states at a school shooting: no calls of blame. This was an Islamic terrorist attack. No one is yet calling out Islam like they call out gun owners after a mass shooting. Islam cannot coexist peacefully with any political or religious system with which it disagrees (read 5 Reasons the Qur'an Can Never 'Coexist' With the Constitution…Ever) and we need to acknowledge that.
No.They're suspicious of refugees who subscribe to an inherently violent religion that's caused this in Paris before https://t.co/y8vYASVBcO
— Steven Crowder (@scrowder) November 13, 2015
Paris is proof: citizens need the right to bare arms, competent police officers and strict borders. None of which are popular to say.
Stay alive, brothers and sister.

Transferring from one Army Reserve unit to another is a simple process. As long as your current unit is not scheduled for an overseas deployment in the near future, your commander will approve your transfer. A transfer from one unit to another can be completed in one to two weeks.
Locate the Army Reserve unit that you'd like to transfer to, and meet with a recruiter from that unit. Your recruiter will provide you with the DD Form 368 - Request for Conditional Release, and find a slot for you in the unit.
Submit the DD 368 to the commander of your current unit for approval. The commander may want to meet with you to discuss the reasons for requesting a transfer. This is just a formality. Unless you have orders for deployment, your request most likely will be granted.
Out-process your current unit once your request for transfer is approved. You must turn in all your issued items to supply and complete the items on your unit-specific out-processing checklist.
Meet with your recruiter and join your new Army Reserve unit. You will fill out paperwork to join the unit, and be sworn into the unit by a military officer.
Attend drills and other training sessions with your new Army Reserve unit.
The DD Form 368 is good only for 30 days after your current commander approves it, so do not delay joining your new unit.

Pacifica Names New Executive Director
Pacifica Radio Network has named William Crosier as its new Executive Director.
Crosier served on the Pacifica Board of Directors in 2010-2012 and again since last year representing 90.1 KPFT Houston. He supplants Interim Executive Director Lydia Brazon who has led the organization since October 2015.
Pacifica has been on the brink of financial ruin for the past several years. 99.5 WBAI New York is currently being sued for $1,357,429.71 by the Empire State Building over unpaid rent. The group as a whole is being investigated by the California Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts over delinquent financial audits.
In addition to KPFT and WBAI, Pacifica owns 94.1 KPFA and 89.3 KPFB Berkeley/San Francisco, 90.7 KPFK Los Angeles and 89.3 WPFW Washington.
The five-station Pacifica Radio network opted for change in 2017 by removing Lydia Brazon, the interim executive director since 2015 and replacing her with 2010-2012 and 2016-2017 Director William Crosier.
The change comes as the network faces an unprecedented political situation in the United States, which is reeling from the assault of the newly elected Donald Trump administration on constitutional freedoms and governmental assistance programs. Pacifica's alternative news, information and cultural programming provides perspectives rarely heard in mainstream media and features the voices of artists, activists and public intellectuals.
The network, founded in 1946 in Berkeley, California, faces an increasingly acute financial situation, with litigation recently filed by the Empire State Building for unpaid transmitter tower rent for station WBAI, and an investigation in progress by the California Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts over delinquent financial audits.
Crosier commented: "Pacifica's mission of alternative educational broadcasting is crucial to the future of this country. I will do everything in my power to ensure the Pacifica Foundation's survival until I can hand over the network to the care of a new visionary leader. I thank my colleagues on the Pacifica National Board for their faith in me. I know we have serious challenges ahead, but I look forward to working together with Pacifica staff and volunteers to catch up on the things we've been neglecting, and guide us to a better place".
Crosier holds a master of science degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington and thirty-five years of experience in the development of computer-based electronic and electro-mechanical hardware and software systems for biomedical research. He is a long-time radio aficionado and the former chair of the board and President of the Houston Peace and Justice Center.
The Pacifica National Board made the change on Friday evening during a national teleconference. Outgoing director Lydia Brazon had held the interim position since October of 2015.

So, what sort of personal solo practices do you folks do to keep occupied between class times and inform your martial arts practices?
Me, for instance, i carry a jo with me wherever i go around the house. I use it as a walking stick, a pointer, a measuring stick. I turn lights on and off with it, pick clothes up with it, use it to hang my gi up... I get hundreds of reps per week of the first three aikijo suburi and a good bit of practice with deploying the jo from whatever random positon it is in into honte, gyakute, or sakate.
For the past year I have been experimenting with Popkin's internal strength exercises - both in and out of class - but nowhere near regularly enough.
For the last few months, thanks to Rick Matz, I've gotten a good bit of regular stake standing practice - that i can do wherever i am at - whenever i am standing around i am usually in first position. These practices feel to me a lot like Popkin's IS exercises.
Lately I have also started mining the Chinese traditions for solo exercises that i can find good instructional materials on, and that has added a bit of bagua circle walking and the beginning ideas in taiji.
Of course, I am also constantly working the Tomiki Judo Taiso ideas wherever I am. My students like to tease me about my advice to them to do judo taiso whenever you're brushing your teeth.
So, what sort of solo practices do y'all get into?

As the days get shorter and the trees are stripped bare in the northern part of the U.S., the most productive part of your golf season might seem to be behind you. But it doesn't necessarily need to be.
In fact, now might be the best time to think about a golf trip, whether it's an escape down south or even a jaunt overseas. Before you get started, though, you need to sort through a series of questions: Where do you want to go? How much can you afford to spend? Who do you want to go with?
Related: Catch up on all the Golf Digest Podcasts
For better or worse, there is no standard way to take a golf trip, which is why many golfers tend to get overwhelmed even thinking about planning one. Here's where we come in. For this week's Golf Digest Podcast, Golf Digest editors Sam Weinman, Alex Myers and Ashley Mayo discuss what they think constitutes a great golf trip, where they like to go, and what their individual appetite is for the right golf and non-golf balance. Plus, for those who like to compete, we talk about the right format for your golf trip, and how much planning of a trip should be a democracy versus a dictatorship.

Even in Failed "Worldwide LGBT Equality March," a Grassroots Effort Finds Seeds of Success
The LGBT community would be nothing were it not for the many and varied grassroots efforts which have sprung up throughout our history, spurring us forward in the name of equality. While our national organizations may serve a purpose in terms of presence and lobbying, in my view, most of the monumental changes have occurred as the result of groups outside the mainstream. Whether it be Lt. Dan Choi and GetEqual helping to bring about an end to DADT, or ACT-UP in demanding resources and awareness during the AIDS epidemic, or the small but laser-like focus of the American Foundation for Equal Rights in working to bring marriage equality to California, these smaller groups have often been able to affect change where our national organizations can't–or won't.
I came of age during the days of Queer Nation and ACT-UP, and every rally, march, or benefit I've attended or organized has helped instill in me the belief that power, indeed, lies with the people. Last year's Occupy movement further reinforced that conviction: on a local level, a band of committed individuals can move mountains.
In February, I wrote about a planned "2012 Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March", slated for April 21. The idea for the march had sprung from a facebook group called Let's Reach 1 Million People Campaign, and the group's founder and lead organizer, Joseph C. Knudson, asked if I would write an article about their efforts. I agreed, but as I began to look more closely at the event, I realized that I couldn't deliver the promotional piece they'd desired. The article, What if They Threw a Worldwide LGBT Equality March, and No One Came?, noted my concerns around the planning associated with the effort, and questioned if the event was truly designed for success.
The article prompted a firestorm of protest in the comment sections on both Huffington Post and Bilerico Project, primarily from those organizing the event, and included accusations of inaccuracies, questions about my motives, personal attacks, and even resulted in a rant about me on Knudson's blog. And yet, despite each of their energetic volleys, the questions I raised were never fully answered by the event organizers.
Instead, I and others with questions were simply urged to read the group's disclosure document, as if the answers to each of our varied questions could be found in that single document. While some have speculated that this event was simply a promotional effort, designed to draw attention to a book Knudson had written, it was assured time and again that the Worldwide LGBT Equality March had no connection to his personal endeavors. But where, you might ask, is the group's disclosure document located? Not on their website, as one would expect. Instead, a link redirects you to Knudson's own site, where the document is posted beneath links to his book trailer, author page, and book press release. A minor point, perhaps, but hardly the kind of thing which eases concerns about either his motivation or the separation between the two endeavors.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Cargill Meat Solutions, Dodge City, Kan., with two repeat and 23 serious violations for exposing workers to numerous occupational hazards. Proposed fines total $176,400 following a combined safety and health inspection at the facility.
OSHA's inspection of the beef processing and packaging company was initiated in November 2010 under the agency's Site-Specific Targeting Program, through which OSHA focuses on employers with higher-than-average occupational injury and illness rates.
"Many hazards at this facility existed for a long period of time, and there is just no excuse for exposing workers to them," says Charles Adkins, OSHA's regional administrator in Kansas City, Mo. "It is imperative that employers take the necessary steps to eliminate hazards and provide a safe working environment for all of their employees."
The two repeat violations address a lack of machinery anchorage and improperly used flexible cords. Similar citations were issued in February 2007 and again in October 2009. A repeat violation exists when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any other facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years.
The 23 serious violations address hazards associated with process safety management, fall protection, access and egress, lockout/tagout of energy sources, material storage, personal protective equipment (PPE), machine guarding, electrical deficiencies, compressed gas cylinders, and hazard communication. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Cargill Meat Solutions had 15 business days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director in Wichita, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by OSHA's Wichita Area Office; telephone (316) 269-6644. To report workplace incidents, fatalities, or situations posing imminent danger to workers, call the agency's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742).

North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb has joined up with the charity Parkinson's UK's to ensure that vital research collaborations and funding for studies into Parkinson's continue following the decision to leave the European Union.
Parkinson's is a degenerative neurological condition, for which there is currently no cure. It affects 127,000 people in the UK – roughly one in 500 of the population. Although researchers have made significant progress into understanding the condition better, there are currently no treatments which help stop, slow or reverse the symptoms.
Parkinson's UK, as one of the 133 members of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), is urging all MPs to work after the Brexit vote to ensure the UK remains a vibrant centre for research.
The charity is highlighting the importance of continued access to EU research funding streams; maintaining ease of travel for patients and the ability for technicians to work across the EU; and ensuring that the EU and UK regulatory frameworks are compatible and aligned.
After meeting Parkinson's UK at the recent Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton, Norman Lamb MP said:
"For decades the UK and EU have worked collaboratively to fund and provide valuable research into conditions such as Parkinson's, and it would be a disaster if future collaboration is put in jeopardy by Brexit. The UK has a long and proud history in the sciences, and it's important that we continue to be an attractive country for researchers and technicians to conduct vital research which could improve the lives and health of thousands of people. "
Policy and campaigns programme manager at Parkinson's UK, Laura Cockram, said;
"It's encouraging to see Norman Lamb MP is supporting the need for collaboration and co-operation between the UK and the EU following the referendum and upcoming negotiations. Finding new treatments and a cure for Parkinson's is crucial in helping improving the lives of people living with Parkinson's and ultimately finding a cure for this devastating condition."
About Parkinson's UK
- Every hour, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson's.
- It affects 127,000 people in the UK - which is around one in 500 of the population.
- Parkinson's is a degenerative neurological condition, for which there currently is no cure. The main symptoms of the condition are tremor, slowness of movement and rigidity.
