At 9:10 a.m., on Friday, February 06, 2009, a 70-year old coal truck driver with eight weeks of mining experience was fatally injured at Republic Energy Mine. The accident occurred when the victim lost control of the Kenworth coal truck he was operating, struck the left embankment and turned over on the haul road, trapping the victim beneath the cab.
The accident occurred because: (1) the trailer brakes failed to operate effectively, (2) the contractor failed to provide an effective safety program for the pre-shift inspection to identify unsafe conditions, and (3) the victim had not received new miner training.
The Republic Energy mine I.D. No. 46-09054 is located near Mahan, Fayette County, West Virginia. The principal officers for the mine at the time of the accident were:
James V. Wood .......... President
Bryan K. Anderson .......... Superintendent
Doug Robinson .......... Safety Director
The principal officers for Medford Trucking at the time of the accident were:
Kevin Medford .......... President
Dale Medford .......... Truck Supervisor
Prior to the accident, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) completed its last regular safety and health inspection on June 2, 2008. Four accidents were reported at this mine in 2008. The mine's Non Fatal Days Lost (NFDL) rate for 2008 was 1.37, compared with the 2008 National rate of 1.25 for this type of mine. A regular safety and health inspection was ongoing at the time of the accident.
William D. Wade, victim, began his shift on Friday, February 6, 2009, at approximately 4:00 a.m., at the Medford Trucking parking lot at Belle, West Virginia. After completing the vehicle inspection/pre-trip portion of the daily report, he proceeded to the Elk Run Coal Company, Republic Energy mine. While descending the approximate two mile long haulroad during the second trip of the day, he began to experience what witnesses described as "losing his brakes." Mr. Wade warned other drivers by CB radio of his situation. The victim proceeded down the haulroad to a point near the bottom, where he attempted to "ditch" the truck in an attempt to slow or stop it. The truck's left front wheel dropped into a drainage sump in the ditch line. The front wheel then struck the downhill end of the sump, folding the wheel unit underneath the tractor. Unable to control the truck's direction, it ran up the embankment at approximately a 45 degree angle for approximately 87 feet. The truck then rolled over to the right onto the haulroad, trapping the victim beneath the cab's right side. Mr. Wade was pinned from the waist down, lying on his back. Miners and mine management responded immediately with first aid and extraction efforts while awaiting emergency medical assistance. Mr. Wade lost consciousness and required CPR, at the scene as well as on the way to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Ricky Hovater, a Medford Trucking driver, was traveling up the haulroad when he passed Wade at Marker No. 46. Hovater could hear the "Jake" brake of the victim's truck as he passed and estimated Wade was traveling at normal speed.
Arthur Goble, another Medford Trucking driver, was returning to the mine on the haul road and had just switched the CB channel at Marker No. 39 when he heard the victim over the radio say he had lost air pressure.
Goble proceeded up the road to Marker No. 41 where he saw Wade coming down the road at approximately Marker No. 42. Goble told Wade, by CB radio, to hit an axle berm or ditch the truck. Wade passed Goble at Marker No. 41, where Goble described the victim as in control of the truck.
Joshua Bowe, a fuel delivery truck driver for Rogers Petroleum, was starting up the haul road at Marker No. 39 when he heard Wade on the CB radio state he was losing his brakes. Bowe moved over in a wide spot off the paved road between Markers No. 39 and 40 and stopped. Bowe heard other drivers advising the victim to ditch the truck or put it into an axle berm. As Wade approached Bowe's position, Wade appeared to be traveling at normal speed. As the victim's truck passed Bowe, it seemed to speed up to 25 to 30 miles per hour. Bowe observed smoke coming from the wheels. At approximately 9:10 a.m., Bowe observed the victim's truck cross over to the left, go into the ditch line, and ride up onto the hillside. The truck hesitated and then the trailer began to roll over. As the trailer rolled over, it pulled the tractor over with it. Bowe was the first person to the scene of the accident, where he found the victim lying on his back, pinned from the waist down beneath the tractor's right exhaust stack and cab. He stated that the victim was conscious and complaining of back pain, while attempting to sit up.
Doug Robinson, safety/security director at Republic Energy, notified MSHA of the accident at 9:38 a.m., on Friday, February 6, 2009, via a telephone call to the MSHA notification hotline.
MSHA accident investigators were immediately dispatched to the mine. A 103(k) Order was issued to ensure the safety of all persons at the mine. The investigation was conducted with the assistance of the mine operator, the contractor, miners, and the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health Safety, and Training (WVOMHS&T).
Photographs and relevant measurements were taken and a sketch of the accident scene was made. Interviews were conducted with persons who had knowledge about the accident at the Medford Trucking office at Belle, West Virginia. Those persons who were interviewed and/or participated in the investigation are listed in Appendix A of this report.
The physical portion of the investigation was completed on April 2, 2009, and the 103(k) Order was terminated.
The truck involved was a 2006 Kenworth Model W900L tandem drive axle tractor, VIN No. 1XKWDBOX96J122158, with a 2005 MAC rear dump body tri-axle trailer, VIN No. 5MADS353396C010834. The tractor had a Caterpillar C15 diesel engine, an engine brake, and an Eaton-Fuller Model RTL0-1891 B, 18 speed transmission. The tractor had a gross vehicle weight rating of 59,200 pounds. The trailer had a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 69,000 pounds. The tractor trailer combination had a gross combination weight rating of 128,200 pounds. Weigh slips for the first load hauled by the victim show the truck gross combined weight was approximately 125,000 pounds. The gross combined weight at the time of the accident was approximately 120,000 pounds.
The haul road is approximately 2 miles long with approximately 1� miles, which consists of grades ranging from 6 to 13 percent. This 1� mile section is paved. The posted speed limit for this section of haulroad is 18 miles per hour. There are six axle or center berms constructed for emergency use along the paved portion of the road. One axle berm was approximately 500 feet upgrade from the site of the accident between curve markers No. 40 and No. 41. The curves are numbered in ascending order from No. 13 at the guard house to No. 55 at the end of the paved road near the top to the mountain. Drivers call out these numbers on the CB radio as they approach them to alert one another of their position along the haul road.
Robert Johnson, a Medford Trucking driver, had driven the truck involved in this accident on the previous shift without problems, making three round trips from the Republic Mine to a load out on the Kanawha River. He finished his shift at approximately 3:30 a.m.
Upon inspection of the truck tractor, all six of the service brake chamber pushrod strokes were within the readjustment limits. One of the five brake chambers on the trailer was damaged during the accident. The remaining four service brake chamber pushrod strokes for the trailer exceeded the maximum allowable pushrod stroke readjustment limit. All the brake lining thicknesses on both the tractor and trailer were within the acceptable limits. None of the brake linings on the trailer showed signs of effective contact with their respective drums. Four of the six brake drums on the trailer were measured to be worn beyond the wear limits recommended by the drum manufacturer, including the left intermediate axle drum and all three right side drums. When lifted off the ground, except for the left rear axle due to the damaged brake chamber, all trailer wheels tested could be manually turned with a four foot slate bar with either the parking brake or service brake applied.
The right intermediate trailer axle brake chamber had an internal defect, adversely affecting its reserve stroke, even though it was within readjustment limits. The lack of reserve stroke in all five of the intact trailer brake chambers created conditions in which none of the five intact brakes produced any effective braking.
During the investigation it was discovered that a practice of manually readjusting automatic slack adjusters existed. This practice gives the operator a false sense of security about the effectiveness of the brakes. The manufacturer warns against making manual adjustments of an automatic slack adjuster.
The investigation found that Mr. Wade, the victim, had not received 24 hours of New Miner Training before being assigned to work duties. This is a contributing factor to the accident. Medford Trucking's training form, shown to the mine operator, indicated that the training had been completed. After investigating further, it was determined that the form was marked in error and the training had not been given. It could not be determined if the victim jumped or was thrown out of the truck.
An analysis was conducted to identify the most basic causes of the accident that were correctable through reasonable management controls. During the analysis, root causes were identified that, if eliminated, would have either prevented the accident or mitigated its consequences.
Listed below are root causes identified during the analysis and their corresponding corrective actions implemented to prevent a recurrence of the accident:
1. Root Cause: An effective, comprehensive, and enforced program for pre-operational inspection to identify, report, and correct unsafe conditions was not in use by Medford Trucking at the time of the accident.
Corrective Action: A 12 point, pre-shift inspection procedure has been implemented with instructions for drivers not to leave a location if defects are found; and to ensure brakes, air systems, and safety devices, are in good working condition. During the shift, a brake and air supply check area has been designated before proceeding down steep grades.
2. Root Cause: The victim was not wearing a seat belt when the tractor rolled over.
Corrective Action: Drivers were instructed to never operate a truck or any type equipment without wearing a seat belt.
3. Root Cause: The victim passed by at least one axle berm, designed to stop equipment when the operator is experiencing brake or control problems, while descending the haul road.
Corrective Action: Drivers were instructed to be alert to quickly changing conditions and utilize escape ramps or axle berms before equipment becomes totally out of control. An escape ramp has been constructed by Republic Energy at an appropriate location on the haulroad.
4. Root Cause: Automatic slack adjusters were being readjusted manually.
Corrective Action: All brake canisters will be from the same manufacturer and the manufacturer's recommendations for adjusting brakes will be followed.
This accident occurred because (1) the trailer brakes failed to operate effectively, (2) the contractor failed to provide an effective safety program for the pre-shift inspection to identify unsafe conditions, and (3) the victim had not received new miner training.
1. A 103(k) Order, No. 6620636, was issued to Republic Energy on February 06, 2009, to ensure the safety of persons at the mine until all areas and equipment were deemed safe.
2. A 103(k) Order, No. 6620637, was issued to Medford Trucking on February 07, 2009, to ensure the safety of all persons at the mine until all areas and equipment were deemed safe.
3. A 104(a) Citation, No. 8079384, was issued to Medford Trucking for a violation of 30 CFR, �77.404(a). The Kenworth Coal Truck, Co. No. 21, Model W900L, VIN No. 1XKWDBOX96J122158, and MAC tri-axle trailer, VIN No. 5MADS353396C010834, was being operated on the mine property and not maintained in safe operating condition. When tested, all six of the trailer service brakes were not effective due to over stroke or defective brake chambers. Four of the six brake drums on the trailer were measured to be worn beyond the wear limits recommended by the drum manufacturer. Maximum brake drum internal diameter is 16.620 inches. The four trailer brake drums measured 16.960, 16.870, 16.866, and 16.990.
4. A 104(a) Citation, No. 8079385, was issued to Medford Trucking for a violation of 30 CFR, �77.1708. An effective program of instruction with regard to the safety regulations and procedures to be followed at the mine has not been established. The operator was adjusting automatic slack adjusters, contrary to manufacturer's recommendations.
5. A 104(a) Citation, No. 8079408, was issued to Medford Trucking for a violation of 30 CFR, � 48.25. The miner had not received 24 hours of New Miner Training before being assigned to work duties.
6. A 104(a) Citation, No. 8079410 was issued to Medford Trucking for a violation of 30 CFR, �77.1606(a). An adequate pre-shift inspection was not performed on the Kenworth Coal Truck, Company Number 21, operating on the mine property, prior to placing the truck into operation. An adequate inspection would have revealed that six trailer brakes were ineffective.

PodCampNYC was a fantastic experience at Brooklyn Polytechnic yesterday. Not only did David Gordon and I get to talk about the project we've been working so hard on for so many months, but so many attendees shared our enthusiasm.
Brian Brewer from http://www.cancerresearch.org/ had some great suggestions for us and offered to link our vcasts to his organization's site once they were formally published. Christine Cavalier aka PurpleCar had a great idea for us to include a teenager in the vcasts. David immediately thought of a candidate for the job and I could see the networks in his brain working to make it all happen as soon as we got back to Jersey. And we also met Philip Campbell from the UK who sat in on part of our presentation. Phil runs http://me.dm/ and graciously offered to help us with circulation and had some awesome ideas on getting additional funding.
David, Judy and I also had the chance to sit in on the Teachers Teaching Teachers with Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim and we lunched with Second Life gurus AJ Kelton and Peggy Sheehy.
Finally, as the day came to a close, we met some of the PodCamp coordinators. They did such a fantastic job. We even had free coffee from Starbucks – in NYC of all places!
I only wish I had met Philip from http://oovoo.com. Philip – I looked for you everywhere.
Check out my Flickr stream from the day.

What's Up With the Title?
Attention all Shmoopers:
The book you are reading is not just a diary.
It is not just a true diary.
It is an absolutely true diary.
And this absolutely true diary does not belong to just anyone.
This absolutely true diary belongs to an Indian.
And not just any Indian.
This absolutely true diary belongs to a part-time Indian.
That's right. The book you are reading is (ahem) The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
It's a mouthful of a title, we know, but there is a reason for that. Allow us to explain:
The title phrases "Absolutely True Diary" and "Part-Time Indian" introduce us to two of the book's major concepts.
First, the absolute truth: The story of Arnold Spirit, Jr. is in some ways "true" because it is based, at least in part, on Sherman Alexie's own childhood.
Just like Arnold, Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, found his mother's name in a geometry book, and decided to transfer to the more affluent white school in the neighboring town of Reardan. Alexie has even said in interviews that "Arnold is me" (Source: Tanita Davis and Sarah Stevenson, "Sherman Alexie," 2007, Conversations with Sherman Alexie,189).
So did everything that happened to Junior in the book happen to Sherman Alexie? Well, no, of course not. This is fiction, after all. But the novel is still "true," don't you think? Though the book might not relate every detail of Alexie's life as it absolutely happened, it still remains "absolutely true" to the experience of growing up on a reservation, of living in poverty, and of struggling with one's own search for identity.
Alexie makes use of his own personal experiences to convey these larger truths. Because of this, Arnold's emotions—his hope, his despair, his joy—all feel totally genuine.
That brings us to the Part-Time Indian to whom this diary belongs.
This novel is very much about Arnold Spirit, Jr.'s attempt to figure out just who the heck he is. Is he Junior, the poor Indian kid from the Spokane Reservation, or is he Arnold, the star basketball player who goes to the white high school in Reardan?
Juggling these two identities, Arnold starts to feel like a "part-time" Indian (17.1-17.3), someone who is a stranger both on the reservation and in the white community of Reardan. The novel, then, details his attempt to reconcile these two versions of himself.

I keep thinking E90s are current... The F30 (good looker, not so much well loved) and G20 (had to google their codes as they don't inspire passion) landed with a thud, which is maybe part of why the E90 seems current.
At least these look cool. I don't inherently hate the looks of SUVs, but these are particularly head turning.Originally Posted by f6fhellcat13
Yup. Their rise has been meteoric. They litter the streets. See: I was reading today that they account for like 1/4 of new car sales in Norway, which has about 50% electric sales in recent months.Originally Posted by f6fhellcat13
I worked on that one. We had a laugh when we saw the first photos in the office. The LD Silverado, particularly the Z71 in red looks spectacular. GM must be shitting themselves Ram overtook them in sales.Originally Posted by f6fhellcat13
You guys forgot the grille swap BMWs.
Look how positively ginormous the grilles have gotten.
And that BMW ute is perfect. It rounds out the group of anonymous SUVs that BMW has been building.
1. Let's build a lifted 5 series.
2. Then make a lifted 5 series coupe.
3. Then make a slightly smaller lifted 5 series coupe.
4. Profit...?
It reeks of throwing spaghetti at the wall until literally something sticks. I mean you can ride the SUV craze, but don't lean into it.
By the way, I dunno how to put URLs from Jalopnik without the forum freaking me out. Some HTML bug for sure.
And F6Hellcat, I didn't know you were based around Montreal. I was just there for Memorial Day weekend. Nice place to be.
I need an advice
Hi guys, I'm a new member. I want to buy a car via https://incacar.com/used/cars/toyota...orolla-570864/ but I´m a bit worried about that, just if they are reliable. Is there someone who knows them, or bought a car from them?
What do you think about that? Thanks for answers.

"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"
I'm digging up this because... it fits I want to have a little bit of a rant.
As many of you know I have recently bought a BMW M140i. It is a lovely car... if a little bit absurd. It is quite possibly the fastest car I will ever own and maybe even the best one. I try to enjoy it as much as I can when can.
Unfortunately about a month a go I also switched jobs, and my new job requires... commuting. Now, commuting in a 340bhp car, capable of making mince meat of 99% of cars you are going to cross with is useless if the top speed on your fifteen mile commute is... 56mph.
But that is not the worst part, oh no. We are now in August and everyone is on holiday. So my commute is free of traffic jams. For the other 11 months of the year my commute will be packed full of cars and my top speed will probably be around 12mph. So a straight six monster becomes not useless but rather completely stupid.
For reasons I won't bother you with, I will spend the next 20 days or so (oh by the way, in case it wasn't clear, new job means no holidays) commuting in a Smart Forfour Turbo. Now, since the car has been with the family for about four years I have already driven it extensively before and I didn't like it one bit. But now it's been some months since I last drove and I thought, well let's give it another chance... maybe it isn't so bad.
Well I'm afraid to report it is. It certainly isn't a car you buy because of the precise engineering. The stop-start system takes ages to restart the engine at the lights, the radio is rubbish, if you've got the stop-start on it judders every time you come to a halt, the break feel is weird, the throttle mapping configuration is all wrong (25% of throttle input gives you 75% of the power), the gearbox insists on going everywhere in 6th bogging the engine down, it is badly affected by cross winds and never mind taking it above 80mph. Oh and it is really rather expensive. Its only redeeming features are manoeuvrability and a tight turning circle, which make you king of the city.
So it's like a moped. Only you can't park it anywhere in the city because it is actually a car and not a motorbike.
As you can see, it is as bad as I remembered. I wouldn't buy one in a million years. But today, that is besides the point.
The point is, this afternoon, coming back from work I was stopped at a set of lights and the latest Katy Dandee tune came on the radio and while I waited something amazing happened. I started dancing. Well, when I say dancing I actually mean moving about clumsily in an asynchronous and terrible way.
And then I got it. What it was, is a happy car. Well not mine, mind you, because the one I'm driving is black and white which makes dull and dreary and boring. And that is, my friends, wrong. Happy cars demand happy colours. This Smart car should be orange or yellow or light blue or something funky and different. Not the colour you choose for your brand new S-Class because you are seventy and retiring from the accounting job you had and you are on your third Merc S-Class.
So, since I may need, in the near future, a car for commuting I decided to start shopping around for something happy and yellow. Or light green perhaps. Now, if you don't want to break the bank or look like Victoria Adams (and trust me, no one wants that) there are only four options. The Nissan Micra, the Citroën C3, the Renault Twingo and the Suzuki Ignis.
The Nissan Micra is... well a Nissan. You certainly don't want to drive around in a Nissan, because Nissan's aren't happy cars. And the only wheels available from the factory are silver. So that's a no.
Next stop is the C3. You can get in orange from the lowest trim levels. The problem is, that in the lowest trim level you get black plastic mirrors and hubcaps which isn't very funky... but don't despair there's still hope. In another, higher, trim level with another, silly, name you can get it in blue... with... wait for it with a red roof! How good is that!?! Unfortunately the trim separating the red roof and the blue body panels is... not white (it's black). So it had the makings of a great choice, let down by a poor choice of contrasting colour. We were so close to driving around in a french car with a french flag...
The Twingo is interesting. It will probably be just as bad as the Smart, but much, much cheaper. In the Renault's case there are two trim levels, the base one and higher one called Le Coq Sportif... which is french for The Sporting Cock. This frenchies never cease to amaze me. Anyway, I digress. The thing is, the colour choice for the Golden Cock model is... wait for it... black, silver or white. If you go for the lower one you can get it in yellow, but if you pay more you get less choice? What the hell are they on about?
And that leaves us with the Suzuki Ignis. I like Suzukis a lot, they are like Mazdas, only smaller, funkier and with a greater sense of humour, but still with a dose of cleverness in them. The Ignis is a lovely looking thing, it's small and light and it is available with a mild hybrid system for stellar fuel economy. It is also available in orange.
So my next car is an orange Suzuki Ignis. Fight me.

Visca Catalunya!
I thought you were looking into electric cars?
Nothing wrong with Suzuki, they make good cars. I still think they left the US market in too much of a hurry. I think as a carmaker they make more compelling products than Mitsubishi which is nothing more than a husk of its former self in the US.
As a bit of a side note, I may actually end up buying a car at some point next year because I may have to drive to my site of work. Which may require me to get a car. I wait with much bated breath as I may end up owning my own car now.

Yes, I am still interested in an electric commuter. I have even gone as far as asking how much would it cost to install an electric recharging point in my garage (It's around 2 grand by the way).
However electric cars are still expensive (around 25 to 30 grand for something decent) and I might have to look around for something a little more conventional.

2k is a ridiculously high amount. Damn.
That is gonna have to fall drastically if/when electric cars become ubiquitous obviously.
2 grand for your own personal fuel pump doesn't sound that expensive to me. I thought it'd be more like 6 to 10 k. Also the fuelling costs would be pretty much nil.
I don't think this a sustainable model in the long run, though. But right now, if you want to run an EV it is pretty much the only option.

I am enjoying that all of the low-quality manufacturers are agglomerating into a rusty, arcing and sparking, shuddering, hard-plastic golem that lurches around the global car market peddling shit. Too bad BL no longer exists to compete with them.
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"
It's like, if you can't be the best, be the rest. God help them. They're still a bit player in Asia.
Hellcat Cactus incoming. On the other hand you could actually recreate the SM with a proper Maserati engine.
I wonder what will they do with all the massive overlap they have in their range (especially in Europe). Will any brands be terminated?
Lack of charisma can be fatal.

VIDEO: DIY Pumpkin Spice Soap for a Winter Skin DetoxNovember 27th, 2015
With warm aroma of yesterday's pumpkin pie still fresh in our minds, we've got a DIY that will keep that pumpkin spice scent alive for the rest of the holiday season—and detox skin.
These gorgeous homemade soaps make great holiday gifts, and give you an excuse skip the Black Friday crowds.
The recipe starts with ultra-moisturizing shea butter as a base, and includes allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, which not only give this beauty bar its signature scent, but also add antimicrobial properties and help draw out impurities. Vanilla essential oil complements all the spice with a hint of sweetness, and rosebuds act as a mild exfoliant that look and feel luxurious.
Press play to see how to make it, and get the full recipe below.
4 pounds unrefined shea butter (4 cups melted)
2 to 4 tablespoons mixed allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon
2 to 4 tablespoons rosebuds
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla essential oil
Melt shea butter in a pot for 10 minutes over medium-high heat, then remove from heat and pour into a large glass bowl. Add spices and rosebuds and stir. Let cool 5 minutes.
Once cooled slightly, stir again thoroughly. Pour mixture into molds and let them set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Unmold and voila! Luxurious beauty bars to give you and everyone on your list the gift of glowing skin.

Here's a detail of a new image the Hubble Space Telescope released to celebrate its 100,000th orbit of Earth. It shows the "firestorm" of star creation in the nebula near star cluster NGC 2074. The three-dimensional image shows off "dramadramatic ridges and valleys of dust, serpent-head 'pillars of creation,' and gaseous filaments glowing fiercely under torrential ultraviolet radiation," says NASA. The high-energy radiation from all those hot young stars is slowly eating away at the wall of the nebula. Click through to see the whole thing. And no, I don't know why part of the image is censored. Is it not work-safe? Is there something happening that NASA doesn't want us to know about?
That circle of blue gas at the bottom center may be hiding another young star cluster. This "fantasy-like landscape" is 100 light years wide and features dark dust towers rising above a glowing wall of gases on the surface of the dark molecular cloud that births new stars. Scientists theorize a supernova explosion may have triggered this frenzy of star creation. Happy orbitversary, Hubble! [Hubblesite]

During the development of my AFP library for Nmap I came a cross a critical vulnerability in Apple's implementation of AFP on Snow Leopard. The vulnerability occurs due to improper input validation and allows an attacker to access (list, read, and/or write) files in the parent directory of any AFP sharepoint.

Asterisk SIP vulnerability
I found a security hole in the Asterisk SIP implementation last week. I was happy to hear that it has already been patched and released. The vulnerability allows an attacker to determine whether a given username is valid or not. With knowledge of existing usernames a more efficient password guessing attack can be mounted against the system.
The full advisory can be read here:
I have been working on some very basic VoIP tools lately which amongst other things have this attack implemented. I'll hopefully get to releasing it in the near future.

Everyone has H&M in their wardrobe, from those basic styles to the designer collaboration.
This November, we are expecting H&M's new collaboration with Kenzo.
Can you feel the wildness?
Another line I really like is the H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection.
This line has totally changed my concept about H&M. It definitely brings H&M to the new level, not the "fast fashion" anymore.
It is said the H&M design team found inspiration at the recently launched 'Fashion Forward – 300 Years of Fashion' exhibit held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
Check Olivia Wilde in that dress at the launch!
Which line of H&M is your favorite?

To cite this article: Paquette, Lucy. "Was Cecil Newton James Tissot's son?" The Hammock. https://thehammocknovel.wordpress.com/2013/10/20/was-cecil-newton-james-tissots-son/. <Date viewed.>
Was James Tissot the father of Kathleen Newton's son, Cecil George Newton, born in 1876? It's an interesting question, and to my knowledge, there is no documentation. It is widely speculated that Tissot was Cecil's father. In the past four years that I've been researching Tissot, various online sources (art gallery biographies of Tissot, Wikipedia, art websites and blogs, etc.) once stated that Cecil "may have been" Tissot's son, then that he "is believed" to be Tissot's son or was "presumably his" – and increasingly, many now state that "it is generally accepted that Cecil is Tissot's son" – but they cite no sources. To date, I have seen no evidence proving that this is a fact.
My research into a range of scholarly sources, and the facts on inheritance law in France during Tissot's lifetime, lead to me conclude that Tissot was not Cecil's father.
What is known is that Kathleen Irene Ashburnham Kelly married Dr. Isaac Newton on January 3, 1871, at age 17. Her daughter, Violet Newton*, was born on December 20, 1871, whether the daughter of her husband or the man – Captain Palliser – over whom her husband divorced her within days of their marriage (the decree nisi was issued on December 30, 1871). The focus of mystery is Kathleen's second child, Cecil George Newton, born March 21, 1876; she registered his father as Dr. Isaac Newton.
Tissot went to Venice on holiday in early October, 1875 with Édouard and Suzanne Manet for several weeks. If he had fathered Cecil, it would have been by the end of June, leaving Kathleen Newton for Venice in the second trimester of her pregnancy; he returned by mid-November. The date that they began living together, supposed to be around 1876, coincides with this pregnancy and Cecil's birth, but that in and of itself is not proof that Cecil's father was James Tissot.
The first and only definitive assertion on the subject of Cecil Newton's paternity is contained in a review (Art Journal, Vol. 45 No. 1, Spring 1985) of Michael Wentworth's book, James Tissot, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1984. The reviewer, Willard E. Misfeldt (a professor of Art History at Bowling Green State University, Ohio from 1967 to 2001), states, "As for Mrs. Newton's second child, Cecil George, who was born in March 1876, more recent intelligence seems to settle positively the question of whether Tissot was his father." The footnote cites "Family oral tradition communicated directly to this reviewer."
Misfeldt writes, "This would mean that Tissot and Kathleen met no later than June 1875, and probably earlier." He adds, "That Cecil and his sister occasionally visited Tissot in Paris [after the 1882 death of Kathleen Newton], as is stated, is probably accurate. The family preserves the story, however, that on one occasion when Tissot returned to London, Cecil refused to see him because he felt that he had been abandoned by his father." This also is footnoted, "Family oral tradition communicated directly to this reviewer."
Still, it is prudent to consider David S. Brooke's assertion in his article, "James Tissot and the 'Ravissante Irlandaise,' " (Connoisseur, May 1968). Regarding information provided by Kathleen Newton's niece, Lilian Hervey (1875 – 1952), as an adult sharing her childhood memories, Brooke (who served as the director of the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts from 1977 to 1994) writes: "some of her observations on her aunt's earlier life should be read with caution, since she was presumably given a suitable version of it by her elders."
Brooke's article also states: "Kathleen's movements between December, 1871, and March, 1876, when she registered the birth of another child, Cecil George, giving Isaac Newton as the father, are not known [my italics]. In March, 1876, she was apparently living with her elder sister, Mary Hervey, at 6 Hill Road, St. John's Wood, London, not far from Tissot's house in Grove End Road. It is uncertain when Tissot met Kathleen Newton, or whether he was the father of Cecil George. She probably went to live with him about 1876-77."
The article continues, "Tissot was clearly grief-stricken by Kathleen's death [of tuberculosis on November 9, 1882], and according to Miss Hervey, he draped her coffin with purple velvet and prayed beside it for hours. Leaving for Paris a few days later, he apparently abandoned the house and its contents. According to a visitor at the time, his paints, brushes and several untouched canvases were still in the studio, and in the garden the old gardener was burning the mattress from the bed of the mysterious lady." [Tissot left for Paris after the November 14 funeral. His elegant house at 17 Grove End Road, St. John's Wood – now numbered 44, and renovated – sat empty until Lawrence Alma-Tadema purchased it in 1883.]
Brooke, at the end of this article, acknowledged the assistance of the following individuals: "Mrs. Erica Newton, for her research, and to Miss Marita Ross, for allowing me to reproduce the photographs of Tissot and Kathleen Newton. I am also indebted to Michael Wentworth, Willard Misfeldt (who is preparing a dissertation on Tissot), and Mrs. Erica Garbutt for their assistance."
Willard Misfelt, in his 1971 doctoral dissertation on James Tissot, details the circumstances of Cecil Newton's birth at 6 Hill Road, the home of Kathleen's sister, Mrs. Mary Pauline Hervey (1851/52 – 1896). They lived just around the corner from Tissot's large house at Grove End Road in St. John's Wood, London. Mrs. Hervey (whose husband was said to be in the Indian army) had only lived at this address since "1876 or very late 1875," according to Misfeldt: "If Tissot was the actual father of Mrs. Newton's second child (she registered the father as the man who had divorced her five years earlier) the meeting would have taken place no later than June, 1875, and presumably earlier, at which time Mrs. Hervey and her entourage were nowhere near St. John's Wood." However, between the date of this dissertation and his 1985 review of Wentworth's book on Tissot, Misfeldt learned of the "family oral tradition" that Cecil Newton was Kathleen's son.
Other sources I consulted include:
- Krystyna Matyjaszkiewicz, ed., James Tissot (Barbican Art Gallery/Abbeville Press: New York, 1985)
Among the contributors to this collection of essays by Tissot experts is Lady Jane Abdy (b. 1934, the director of the Bury Street Gallery in South Kensington, London, since 1991). Lady Abdy writes, "A child was born in 1876, Cecil George, and we do not know whether it was Tissot's, though in the tender way he depicted him in many portraits it seems probable." She adds, "Mrs. Newton's two children lived with Mrs. Hervey; they were visitors to Grove End Road, not inhabitants, and their visits usually occurred at the hour of tea."
- Christopher Wood, Tissot: The Life and Work of Jacques Joseph Tissot, 1836-1902 (Little, Brown: Boston, 1986)
In this work, Christopher Wood (1941 – 2009), director of Nineteenth Century Paintings at Christie's, London from 1963 to 1976 and then an art dealer at the forefront of the revival in interest of Victorian art in the late 20th century with his gallery in Belgravia, stated that he did not believe Tissot was Cecil George Newton's father. He pointed out that Tissot left his estate to his French niece, though under French law he could have adopted an illegitimate son and left him his property. Wood also argued that, like British painter Frederick Sandys (1829 – 1904) – who married a working class girl – Tissot could have married Kathleen and legitimized Cecil – if Cecil were his son. But then, it is possible that Kathleen Newton, as a divorced Catholic in that era, may not have felt able to remarry.
- Jeffrey Meyers, Impressionist Quartet: The Intimate Genius of Manet and Morisot, Degas and Cassatt (Harcourt, Inc.: Orlando, Florida, 2005)
Distinguished biographer Jeffrey Meyers put the issue of French law succinctly in this book, in a discussion of Édouard Manet and Léon Leenhoff – the young man raised by him and his wife as her "brother" and Manet's godson:
"The Manet scholar Susan Locke noted that there was a good reason why Manet did not legitimize Léon: "in French law of the time, whereas nothing stood in the way of legitimization of children born out of wedlock upon the marriage of their parents, children born to individuals who were already married to others at the time of conception could never be legitimized under any circumstances." In other words, Manet could have legitimized Léon if Léon were his own son. But he couldn't, and didn't, since Léon's father was a married man." [In Manet's case, it is believed by some scholars that Manet's father also was Léon's father.]
By 1991, when Willard E. Misfeldt's J.J. Tissot: Prints from the Gotlieb Collection was published (Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia), Misfeldt wrote:
"Writers on Tissot have 'fudged' the question of Cecil's paternity. Christopher Wood states outright that he does not believe Tissot was Cecil's father. Georges Bastard [author of a 1906 biographical article on Tissot] asserts that Tissot and Kathleen shared a life of Love and Art for seven years, which would indicate that they met in 1875, some time before Cecil was born. It seems unlikely that Tissot would invite a woman pregnant with another man's child to take part in his life. Perhaps the question can never be resolved, but the prominence that Tissot gave the child in these last two major paintings from London [The Garden Bench, 1882; The Little Nimrod, 1882] would seem to lend credence to the theory that Cecil really was the artist's natural son." A footnote reads, "Cecil kept up contact with Tissot and occasionally sent the artist souvenirs of his life in the theater."
I find it hard to believe that Tissot, in moving back to Paris upon Kathleen Newton's death, would have abandoned his own son – his only son as well as his only child, and the child of the love of his life. Cecil [if legitimized] stood to inherit the family name with a château in Besançon, France in the family for two generations as well as an elegant villa at 64, avenue du Bois du Boulogne [originally called the avenue de l'Impératrice, now avenue Foch], one of the most exclusive addresses in Paris.
Based on my extensive research, James Tissot seems to have been a decent man who was kind to Kathleen's daughter and son in the years the couple spent together. He painted Violet and Cecil as the adorable children they were – just as Millais, Renoir and other artists of the time painted numerous images of adorable children. In The Garden Bench, the mischievous boy (with his bold, direct gaze at the viewer) is highlighted, the center of his proud and indulgent mother's attention, while the affectionate girls are relegated to the background, portrayed as demure and passive – all in keeping with the era's assigned gender roles. Tissot kept The Garden Bench, hung in the central stair hall of his château for the rest of his life, as a reminder of his happy days of family life in London. There is no record of whether, or how often, Tissot exerted himself to keep in contact with Cecil Newton – but we do know what his Will, drawn up in January, 1898, provided upon his death in 1902.
While dividing his assets between the three surviving adult children of his eldest brother, James Tissot's Will stipulated that each of Kathleen Newton's two children (whose addresses were located by a servant) would receive 1,000 francs. Tissot's servants were provided for more generously: each received 200 francs per year in his service, employment with full wages for a period of one year after his death, plus 1,000 francs.
Misfeldt reports this information in his 1971 doctoral thesis on Tissot, conjecturing that "equal sums for the two [children of Kathleen Newton] might have seemed the best way to avoid arousing any embarrassing suspicions concerning two children who were by then young adults."
Cecil married at 28, two years after Tissot died, and served in the Royal Artillery during World War I under the name Cecil Ashburnham. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1915 and was discharged as an invalided officer less than a year later. He was divorced at age 48, and died as Cecil Ashburnham on May 4, 1941, at 21, First Avenue, Lancing (a town on the English Channel, near Brighton). Cecil left no Will, but his estate, valued for probate at £108.12s.6d, was administered by George Ashburnham Newton, of Llandudno, a seaside town in Wales.
With no conclusive evidence, I decided that it was as plausible that Cecil was not Tissot's son as that he was, and I developed the story line for The Hammock: A novel based on the true story of French painter James Tissot accordingly as I continued my research.
As with any of the mysteries surrounding the fascinating life of James Tissot, I would be pleased to see facts emerge that prove one theory or another; I was trained as an art historian. As a novelist, I chose to portray the facts on this subject according to my best information at the time. To see how I reconciled the question of Cecil's paternity, read The Hammock.
* Muriel Violet Mary Newton, born on December 20, 1871 in Conisbrough (a town in South Yorkshire where Kathleen Newton's father had retired from the East India Company), attended Pensionnat de Soeurs de la Providence et de l'Immaculée Conception at Champion-lez-Namur, Belgium. She married William Henry Bishop on October 19, 1925 in London and died of a heart attack on December 28, 1933 at the Hotel Cristina in Alcegiras, Spain. She is buried in Spain.

Jack Nicklaus has enough memories from his years as a professional golfer to fill thousands of Claret Jugs, the trophy Henrik Stenson smooched after winning the British Open on Sunday at Royal Troon.
One of those was the 1977 British Open when the North Palm Resident and Tom Watson hooked up in what became known as the �Duel in the Sun� and will go down as one of the most memorable days in golf history. Watson needed a final-round 65 to hold off Nicklaus, who shot a 66, and win the tournament by a stroke.
On Sunday, Nicklaus was taken back 39 years as he watched Stenson and Phil Mickelson battle shot-for-shot, with Stenson riding 10 birdies to an 8-under-63 and finishing three strokes ahead of Mickelson, who shot a bogey-free 65.
� �Some in the media have already tried to compare today�s final round to 1977 at Turnberry, with Tom Watson and me in what they called the �duel in the sun.� I thought we played great and had a wonderful match. On that day, Tom got me, 65-66. Our final round was really good, but theirs was even better. What a great match today.�
Those comments were from Nicklaus, who took to Facebook after the round to praise both golfers. More from Nicklaus:
�I was fortunate to watch every second of today�s final round of the Open Championship, and I thought it was fantastic. Phil Mickelson played one of the best rounds I have ever seen played in the Open and Henrik Stenson just played better�he played one of the greatest rounds I have ever seen. Phil certainly has nothing to be ashamed of because he played wonderfully. Henrik played well from beginning to end. He drove the ball well; his iron game was great; his short game was wonderful; and his putting was great. Henrik was simply terrific.
��� �To win your first major championship is something special in and of itself, but to do it in the fashion Henrik did it in, makes for something very special and incredibly memorable. I�m proud of and happy for Henrik.�
Stenson finished with a 20-under-264 while Mickelson shot 267. In 1977 at Turnberry, Watson was a 12-under-268. Nicklaus shot 269.
The next closest in 1977: Hubert Green 10 strokes behind Nicklaus at 1-under. On Sunday, J. B. Holmes finished third, 11 strokes behind Mickelson at 6-under.
Following their round, Nicklaus and Watson walked off the green with their arms around each other�s shoulders, just as Mickelson and Stenson did Sunday.
�It certainly crossed my mind a little bit out their today, that match when Jack and Tom went head to head there in �77,� Mickelson said. �I know that I wanted to more of Tom in this case than Jack, but I understand how it feels. It�s bittersweet.�

I Shall Be Released" is a 1967 Bob Dylan song that the Girls have
been doing on occasion for several years now. It usually functions
as an encore, and features numerous guests. The version that I'm
transcribing is from the lyric sheet the girls used at the Fox
theater, on October 30th, 1989. There are subtle variations from
Dylan's lyrics - gender references, such as "They say every man
needs..." are changed to the non-specific "They say everyONE
needs..." In fact, in the third verse, Amy had already written
Dylan's "Is a man who swears he's not to blame," but she crossed it
out, and amended it to "Is someone who...." It's a minor difference,
but it's kinda significant... like the way the Girls change Robert
Hunter's "Goddamn, well, I declare" to "Sister, well, I declare" in
their version of "Uncle John's Band."
(By the way, I'm transcribing the lyric sheet exactly as I see it,
including performance notes... "Michelle" refers to Michelle
I Shall Be Released Key: A
Michelle ---> 1
They say everything can be replaced (A Bm)
Yet every distance is not near (C#min D A)
So, I remember every face (A Bm)
Of everyone who put me here. (C#min D A)
Everyone ---> Chorus
I see my light come shining (A Bm)
From the west unto the east (C#min D A)
Anyday now, any day now, (A Bm)
I shall be released.
Emily ---> 2
They say everyone needs protection,
They say everyone must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
Everyone ---> Chorus
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Anyday now, any day now
I shall be released.
Solos / jams
Amy ---> 3
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is someone who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he's been framed.
Everyone ---> Chorus
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Anyday now, anyday now
I shall be released

Some immigrant parents are withholding their children from Austin district schools out of fear that they, their children or family members may be detained by federal immigration officials after hearing last week that an enforcement operation has been underway in Austin.
While the operation appears to target those unauthorized immigrants with criminal records, numerous parents said they feared getting caught up in a sting and told Austin teachers and parent support specialists that they also plan to withdraw their children from school.
It's unclear whether there was an uptick in the number of student absences last Friday or Monday, as the Austin district won't have numbers available until the end of the week.
But representatives with labor group Education Austin said they received word from campus educators saying parents fear they'll run into immigration enforcement officials walking their children to school, so they opted to keep them home.
"People are just really scared," said Montserrat Garibay, the vice president of the labor group Education Austin. The parents said they rather keep their children home than risk having the family separated or the children placed in foster care, Garibay said.
It's unclear how many undocumented students are in the Austin school district, but there are 30,000 English language learners and about 1,000 refugee children in the school system.
Education Austin also has been distributing information that says immigration enforcement actions generally aren't to occur at various "sensitive locations," including schools, hospitals and places of worship, unless someone poses an imminent threat, among other reasons.
This weekend, Education Austin helped train nearly 250 educators and other school officials during two "Know Your Rights" training sessions on immigration laws and rights. The turnout was so much higher than expected that the group ran out of the materials.
The group also has been meeting with immigrants on campuses to explain their rights and what to do if immigration enforcement officials show up at their home or try to question them. And Education Austin provided its 3,000 members materials detailing similar information, including fliers to pass on to students and their families. Education Austin and other partners have set up future clinics with lawyers working pro bono to help families legally designate a caregiver for their children in case one or both parents are deported.
A charter school office manager who attended one of the weekend sessions recounted dropping off one of her students at his home last week to help his parents, who feared they'd be deported if they left their home.
Federal law requires schools to educate students, regardless of their immigration status. But the labor group has pushed the district to do more to show support after an Austin valedictorian experienced backlash for declaring her immigration status in a tweet that went viral last year.
Since June, the group has lobbied the school board to pass a resolution declaring support of all students, including those who are undocumented, but the school board has not yet taken up the issue. More recently, the group has pushed to get Superintendent Paul Cruz and school board members to hold a press conference or make a statement reiterating that schools are "safe places."
It's unclear what actions the district will take, but the administration and some individual board members have provided such reassurances through direct outreach or through schools.

Tony Joe White is a one-man genre, the first and perhaps only progenitor of a particular, potent strain of swamp rock, which he alone seems to have the musical gifts to play: a deep voice that has gained grit over the years, a guitar filtered through an arsenal of old fuzz boxes, a scowling harmonica, and an eye for backwoods characters.
"Swamp rock is kind of bluesy, but you can dance to it," White says, in his signature baritone with a laid-back Louisiana accent. "This blues has a beat. The guitar is bluesy, and some of the words are. But it's going to make somebody move some part of their body."
Born in Goodwill, Louisiana, in 1943, White has been playing swamp rock for decades, ever since he began idolizing blues guitarists like Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker in his teens and taught himself to copy their licks.
From that youth obsession grew a solid career as a performer and songwriter. His Southern tales — "Polk Salad Annie," "Roosevelt and Ira Lee," "Willie & Laura Mae Jones," and his most well-known composition, "Rainy Night in Georgia" — have been recorded by a wide array of singers: Elvis, Dusty Springfield, Mel Tormé, Waylon Jennings, Tina Turner, Hank Williams Jr., Joe Cocker, Conway Twitty, Shelby Lynne, Hem, and Tom Jones, among many others.
As a solo artist, White has only been moderately successful in America, although like many roots musicians of his generation, he is revered in Europe. In fact, France gave him his first number-one hit ("Soul Francisco") in 1969. In Europe and Australia, he says, they play him about every hour on some radio station somewhere: "In America, the radios play flavors of the week and that type of thing. When people don't hear you over here for a while, they think you must have been eaten by a shark."
White resurrects many of his old tunes on his latest album, Deep Cuts, but adds a new twist: ProTools. He recorded the vocals, guitar, and harmonica parts on reel-to-reel in his own studio, then gave the recordings to his manager/collaborator/son Jody White. "He takes it over to his studio and loads the analog onto his ProTools, then he has his way with the songs," White says.
White calls the result a "techno-swamp album," which isn't as incongruous as the concept might sound. The added elements are most noticeable on new instrumental tracks like "Set the Hook," which opens the album with a computerized growl and percolates while White dispenses some roughed-up Stratocaster licks. On other tracks — like the new version of "Soul Francisco" — the live and programmed elements blend organically, like algae and moss in swamp water.
"I think it came out really cool," White says, although he admits, "I don't want anyone to mess with my songs except blood. Jody's my own blood, so he knew what he could make sound better and what he could leave alone. He really did a cool job of preserving the old style and adding the 'now' to it."
Most of the songs on Deep Cuts date back several decades to White's earliest releases, but as the album title implies, these aren't the obvious hits rehashed and repackaged. Instead, Jody culled from 40 years of his father's albums, many of which remain out of print.
"He took it all the way back to 'As the Crow Flies,'" White says, referring to his 1972 hit. "It was pretty cool that he was into the old songs, because people of his generation would have never gotten to hear any of these types of songs unless there was some sort of rhythm behind it."
The songs aren't dusty chestnuts, however.
"Those tunes are still in the mix on stage, especially in Europe and Australia," White says. "Those are the songs the audience screams for a lot. I don't have a set list when I play. I just go out and let the crowd move me along." According to White, response to the new interpretations has been largely positive. "I know they like to hear those songs a certain way, but all of a sudden they're up there rockin' and dancin' and hollerin', so it must be working."
Rather than replicate the computerized beats on stage, White will continue touring with longtime drummer Jeff Hale and the Moogie Man on keyboards. "His name is Tyson Rogers, but I call him the Moogie Man," White says. "He's got a little electronic Moog thing that he does on stage, like an electronic keyboard with a B3 on top. It sounds down in the swamps a little more, like the boogie man."
White says he always looks forward to playing in Memphis, where he lived for 14 years beginning in the 1970s: "It's like going back home in Louisiana. It's going to be fun. Every time I play in Memphis, the crowd really gets wild."

TUNA and TUMT use heat to destroy part of the enlarged prostate to improve urine flow and symptoms. Early studies suggest that these procedures reduce the occurrence of erection or bladder control side effects, which occur more often with the traditional surgery for BPH, known as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). TUNA and TUMT are said to be minimally invasive in part because they typically are done with local anesthesia and men go home the same day, whereas TURP requires general anesthesia and an overnight hospital stay. As for drug therapy, a recently published large randomized study showed that a regimen of finasteride (Proscar) and the alpha-1 inhibitor doxazosin (Cardura) prevents progression of BPH in a significant percentage of symptomatic men and it helps men at high risk avoid surgery.
"It's easy to see why drug therapy, TUNA and TUMT have been embraced by many urologists and patients," said Leroy M. Nyberg Jr., Ph.D., M.D., director of NIDDK's urology trials. "Yet, we don't know which treatment is more effective in the long run and, for the most part, who would be better served by the drug combination versus one of the minimally invasive therapies."
By July 2006, researchers plan to have recruited and randomly assigned more than 700 men with moderate to severe symptoms and no prior prostate surgery to one of the three MIST therapies. The men, age 50 and over, will be

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Brian McRae has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a traffic stop on Interstate 435.
Police in Overland Park, Kan., told The Associated Press that the 43-year-old McRae was taken into custody around 3 a.m. Thursday and released later that morning.
Police don't know whether McRae has an attorney. McRae's home phone has been disconnected.
The Kansas City Star reports McRae has faced two previous DUI citations. One in 2004 led to a conviction, but an Overland Park judge cleared him of the second in 2000.
McRae retired in 1999 after playing for the Royals, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies. His father is former Royals great Hal McRae.

Pakistan, Nigeria are Christian KILLING fields: Report
The killing of Christians is reportedly on the rise in Islamic countries such as Pakistan, Nigeria and Egypt according to a human rights group, with the Vatican claiming that 1,00,000 Christians are being killed each year.
The massive Christian death toll has resulted over faith, Fox News reports.
According to Persecution.Org, about 200 million Christians currently live under persecution, particularly in countries such as Egypt, Pakistan and Nigeria, adding that the first major killing spree happened between 1998 and 2003, when 10,000 Christians were murdered in Indonesia alone.

The group also claimed that persecutions of Christians have also been on the rise in places such as Africa and the Middle Eastover the last decade.
Vatican spokesman Monsieur Silvano Maria Tomassi said that a research has revealed that an estimate of more than 100,000 Christians is violently killed on an annual basis because of some relation to their faith.
Tomassi also said that Christians are subjected to forced displacement, destruction of their places of worship, rape and the abduction of their leaders, as it happened in the case of Bishops Yohanna Ibrahim and Boulos Yaziji in April this year in Syria.

Pakistan, Nigeria are Christian KILLING fields: Report
A spate of genocide attacks have taken place on Christians residing in Pakistan such as in March this year when Muslims attacked a Christian neighbourhood in Lahore, where more than 100 houses were burned after a Christian was alleged to have made blasphemous remarks.
CEO of Christian Solidarity International, John Eibner has said that religious minorities are under constant threat in the country and a continuation of such violence may lead to a complete wipe out of Christian communities or other religious minorities in the near future.
