Ж = 1 + 4Kn.
If we used a constant a in the entire flow regime, the model would have resulted in an incorrect form similar to Knudsen's model in the slip flow regime. In order to obtain the variation of a as a function of Knudsen number for the transitional flow regime, we can solve for a from equation (4.33) to obtain
3^(1 +
where M is the flowrate data obtained numerically or experimentally (and normalized with Mfm). The 1/ Kn behavior in this analytical expression makes it difficult to predict the value of a for small Kn. Therefore, we must rely on accurate numerical or experimental data. For this purpose we use linearized Boltzmann solutions of (Loyalka and Hamoodi, 1990) and experimental data of S. Tison (NIST, private communications). In Figure 4.25 we present the variation of a as a function of Kn (symbols). The value of a is initially small (close to zero), and it gradually increases with Kn, reaching a constant value in the free-molecular flow regime. The physical meaning of this behavior is that the dynamic viscosity remains the standard diffusion coefficient in the early slip flow regime. The value of a increases slowly with Kn in the slip flow regime, and therefore the effect of change of the diffusion coefficient is second-order in Kn. For this reason the experimental slip flow results are accurately predicted by the slip flow theory, which does not require change of the diffusion coefficient length scale from A to channel height h. Variation of a as a function of Kn found by the numerical and experimental data can be represented accurately with the following relation:

Partridge Orpington
This color was created in England, but is not recognised there at the date of this writting. It is, however, recognized
in Denmark, Germany and Holland.
A tip for breeding good females is that the markings in the saddle of the male should be interrupted.
The eye color of the partridge orpington is brown-red, the beak and legs pinkly white. In the females darker shining
is allowed
These birds are incredibly calm and gentle. They are absolutely
stunning to look at and very good layers of medium to large eggs.
Don't forget to recommend us on Google!
If you think this guy looks different than the Partridge Orpingtons
you are used to seeing you are correct. He is one of two of our
Partridge Orpington roosters not related to Greenfire or Heirloom
This is a line that is unique to Gisbrechts Orps as we are the
original importer. We will be offering for the first time in 2014,
chicks from this line. An excellent opportunity to add to the
Greenfire Orpington gene pool that has become extensively
inbred over the last couple years.
This guy is very stunning with a gentle nature as with most Orpingtons. He has the absence of lacing on his chest and virtually no leg feathering, another issue
common to the Imported Orpingtons.
While he does not have leg feathering it is still possible to see an occasional chick with leg feathers but is less likely with this line.
(We have both Greenfire hens and our own line of Partridge hens in our breeding pen - our roosters are
unrelated to Greenfire
Partridge Orpington

What to expect in breeding:
Greenfire variety breeds true but is in desperate need of gene diversity. Chicks are
becoming smaller, weak and unthrifty due to excessive inbreeding.
We have 2 roosters unrelated to Greenfires exceptional Partridge Orpingtons and will be
using these rooster exclusively in 2014 to add
much needed gene diversity
to this
We will be offering these chicks in 2014 to help add to the gene pool of Partridge Orps of
other breeders. Please remember this will be the first year releasing this line and
although both lines are excellent quality, quality of the chicks, lacing, size etc., is
unknown. These roosters have much to offer to the existing Partridge Orps and we
believe the combination will be as good or better quality than the parent stock.
***While we will try to fill all orders, please anticipate a wait for this line***

What would life be like under President Obama? He gave some hints at a rally in Roseburg, Oregon. The telling excerpt (with emphasis added):
BARACK OBAMA, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: [It's] a huge opportunity but we've got have leadership from Washington, the same way we had leadership when Kennedy said we're going to the moon, we want to invest what we need to make it happen and there are all sorts of spin offs benefits from that. So that's what we want to do on global warming here in the United States.
We are also, though, going have to negotiate with other countries. China, India, in particular Brazil. They are growing so fast that they are consuming more and more energy, and pretty soon, if their [carbon] footprint even approaches ours, we're goners. That's part of the reason why we've got to make the investment; we've got to lead by example. If we lead by example -- if we lead by example, then we can actually export and license technology that have been invented here to help them deal with their growth pain. But keep in mind, you're right. We can't tell them, don't grow. We can't -- drive our SUVs and you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on you know, 72 degrees at all times, and whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect that every other country's going [to] say OK.
You guys go ahead and keep on using 25 percent of the world's energy. Even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we'll be fine. Don't worry about us. That's not -- that's not leadership. That's not going to happen. And that's, by the way, why, for example, I had this big argument with Senator Clinton and McCain about the gas tax, holiday. Which was an example. That's how Washington works. It's not thinking long term. It's thinking, how do we get through the next election?
And, you know, John McCain, for him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas tax holiday for three months, that's a phony solution. You know, you can't -- John McCain has consistently been opposed to fuel efficiency standards, raising fuel efficiency standards on cars. How is he going to meet any of these targets? Maybe he's imagining it the way he did imaging getting out of the war in Iraq. You know? We -- we need somebody with a plan. And who is willing to talk to the American people about these difficulties and how we're going to get through these challenges together. All right? OK. All right. OK. Over here.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is being diagnosed in increasing numbers in metropolitan cities of India for which the availability of specialist neurologists and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities are primarily responsible. Epidemiological data are unavailable. Existing data have been obtained from small often retrospective studies from different parts of the country. These earlier studies suggested that optic nerve and spinal cord involvement are considerably high, and that perhaps optic spinal MS was the most prevalent form in India. On this basis it was also speculated that neuromyelitis optica (NMO) may be overrepresented in Indians. However in recent times, prospective studies backed by MRI data have shown no distinct differences between MS seen in the west and India. Sero positivity for NMO IgG is low though NMO phenotype disorders constitute nearly 20% of demyelinating disorders in India. Genetic susceptibility for MS among Indians may be similar to that for white populations. In the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), HLA DR1*1501 has been strongly associated with MS in Indians. A recent study that evaluated the established non-MHC multiple sclerosis loci in a small data set of Indian patients suggested a strong similarity with white populations. This review highlights some of the background information available on MS from India and so also some recent studies that unveiled the disease characteristics in Indian patients.
1. Introduction
In the mid seventies in Kurtzke's MS world map [1] India was included in the list of countries belonging to the low prevalence zone (<5/100,000). Even at that time, it was believed that in developing countries there was underestimation of disease prevalence for MS. Poser [2] mentioned paucity of neurologists, paucity of postmortem examinations, and unavailability of confirmatory test procedures such as neuroimaging, evoked potential studies, and reliable cerebrospinal fluid examination as some of the several problems in analyzing data from tropical countries. Record keeping and long-term followup of patients have seen serious limitations in all but the teaching hospitals and continue to hinder data collection and analysis of diseases in India. A decade later, there has been indirect evidence from hospital statistics in India suggesting that the number of cases diagnosed per year may have nearly doubled [3, 4]. This may be partly due to early detection especially since in recent times, MRI has become mandatory in all teaching hospitals in the country. Additionally there has been an increase in neurologists and also greater awareness which has resulted in white matter diseases including MS being increasingly diagnosed. In India public/teaching hospitals generally see patients from a lower socioeconomic background who visit hospitals with severe disease, males being given priority over females for seeking medical attention. These factors invariably hamper quality of data acquired from such settings.
2. Prevalence of MS in India
Neuroepidemiological studies have been done in the southern parts of the country and have failed to capture MS cases in the community [5]. A crude prevalence of approximately 1.33/100,000 was reported by Singhal [6] in the mid eighties from the west coast of India. Hospital-based studies in India have shown that over the last decade, the total proportion of MS-related neurology department admissions increased from 1.58% to 2.54% [4]. This data is supported by the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation World MS Atlas, which projects a prevalence of 3/100,000, which is nearly triple the estimate of previous reports. Geographically north west India (above 15° N latitude) saw 4.15 new cases of MS per year as compared to 3.2 cases per year from south India (below 15° N latitude) [7]. The one exception is the Parsi population of India in whom Wadia and Bhatia [8] observed a prevalence of 26/100,000. The Parsis (Zorastrians) originated from the Pars province of Iran. Recent epidemiological studies have shown a high prevalence of MS in Iran especially in Ishfahan province [9] that adjoins Pars.
3. Multiple Sclerosis in India; Phenotypic Differences from Western Population
Early literature on MS from different parts of India suggested that there was high prevalence of optic and spinal cord involvement. In 1985 Jain and Maheshwari [7] published data on 354 cases of MS from 9 different centers in India. Optic neuritis (OPN) as the initial presentation was seen in 22.2–58% of cases seen at 5 of these centers. Recent studies have shown a frequency of 23.6% from the north west [10], 44% from the south of the country [11], and 53.3% [12] from the east of the country which is significantly high as compared to western data. In patients of North American and European origin optic neuritis was noted to be the initial presentation in only 17.2% of patients [13]. Acute onset of motor weakness was the next common initial presentation seen in 27–31% of Indian patients [10, 12]. A comparison in symptom at onset in patients admitted to a national hospital in south India before and after the mid eighties showed a dramatic reduction in spinal cord dysfunction by as much as 50% [11]. The authors attribute it to better awareness, early investigations including MRI and earlier diagnosis when patients present with milder symptoms.
4. Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) among Indian Demyelinating Disorders
In earlier literature on MS in India [6, 7] the diagnosis of NMO was based on the descriptions by Shibasaki et al. [14]. It was limited to patients who showed "acute bilateral visual impairment and transverse spinal cord lesions, either concomitantly or within a short interval with or without subsequent improvement." The last decade has seen a major change in perception of NMO with a number of revisions in the diagnostic criteria [15–17]. Seen predominantly in middle aged women, this disorder is characterized by recurrent and severe involvement of optic nerve and spinal cord, with longitudinal spinal cord lesions and atypical brain lesions. Therein lies the dilemma in understanding how common it is among Indian CNS demyelinating disorders, wherein optic spinal presentations are common. Winger chuck et al. [17] have compiled available literature on NMO in India which included 59 cases reported between 1950 and 2006. They constituted roughly 9–24% of all demyelinating disorders seen in each series. There is not enough data available nor long-term followup on these patients to suggest there was severe visual loss or disproportionate spinal cord dysfunction in the subset with optic spinal presentation. In studies backed by MRI data [17, 18], MRI morphological data including length of spinal cord segments involved is not available. The high frequency of optic and spinal involvement cannot be therefore loosely translated into a possible high prevalence of NMO. Jain and Maheshwari [7] compilation of 354 cases of MS has been widely quoted in western literature as evidence for high prevalence of NMO in India. In their series 22–58% of patients reported had attacks confined to the spinal cord and optic nerve. The authors have noted that 33/354 cases (10%) had neuromyelitis optica as defined by Shibasaki et al. [14]. It is arguable that this definition was restrictive and there could have been higher numbers of NMO if considered in the light of current diagnostic criteria. This is not likely the case as shown by contemporary studies involving Indian patients, which correlated clinical presentation in MS alongside detailed MRI data. Mani et al. [19] compared 81 Indian with American MS patients matched for age, gender and duration of MS. There were no significant clinical or radiological differences between the two groups. NMO constituted 6% of Indian cases though 44% of patients in their Indian series had optic spinal presentation. In a prospective and longitudinal study of CNS demyelinating disorders which included 51 patients, Pandit et al. [20] found 47% of their MS cases have clinical attacks confined to the optic nerve and spinal cord. Yet NMO was diagnosed (Winger chuck et al. criteria [16] 1999) in only 5%.
Neuromyelitis optica Immunoglobulin G (NMO IgG) seropostivity in Indian patients has been reported [21]. Pandit et al. analyzed NMO-IgG status in 78 consecutive cases obtained from their demyelination registry. In this study 62/78 (80%) patients belonged to the NMO spectrum. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis was seen in 39/78 (50%) and included all cases of NMO, ATM, and recurrent ATM. Neuromyelitis optica-IgG was positive in 3/78 patients (3.8%), one each of NMO, optic spinal MS and recurrent acute transverse myelitis. Seropositive patients were all women and had late onset disease. Two of the three patients had optic neuritis and severe visual impairment and became wheel chair bound within 5 years of disease onset. Seronegative patients with long cord involvement were 36/78 (46%). They had a male/female ratio of 2 : 1. Assistance for mobility was required by 12/36 (33%). The remaining 24/78 (66.7%) patients who were seronegative and had long spinal cord lesions recovered well between attacks and remained ambulant 4–7 years after disease onset [22]. A similar benign outcome has been described for NMO phenotype disorders in one other Indian study. Pradhan and Mishra [23] described 6 patients (3 male and 3 female) with recurrent optic neuritis and myelitis with documented long cord lesions on MRI of the spinal cord and normal MRI brain. These patients followed up for 2–10 years had good recovery in visual functions following OPN with only one patient requiring assistance to walk. Current data therefore appears to indicate that although optic and spinal cord presentations of CNS demyelinating diseases may be common in India, NMO meeting current diagnostic criteria may be no more common in India than in the west.
5. Environmental Factors Implicated in MS in India
Studies have shown that migration from low MS areas to high MS areas before the age of 15 increased the risk of MS in nonwhite populations, including Indians [24, 25]. It is now clear that the rate of multiple sclerosis in second generation (UK born) Asians and first generation Asians coming to the UK as children, is significantly higher than in first generation (migrant) adult individuals. Ethnicity may confer some degree of protection against the increased risk. Thus in North America and the UK, MS increases among immigrants from India, while it remains low in immigrants from East Asia [26]. Geographical data indicates that MS is more common as distance from equator increases. This geographic variation may at least in part be attributable to environmental factors and be considered a reason for lower prevalence among Indians.
According to the "hygiene hypothesis" proposed in the 1960's [27] children in areas where MS is rare are more likely to show evidence of childhood viral infections. Higher prevalence of MS is seen where sanitation and socioeconomic status are good. In this context, Singhal and Wadia [28] in their study of 30 patients from the Mumbai region observed that MS patients were mostly from higher socioeconomic status. Parsis of India in whom MS is highly prevalent are also an affluent community. A strong argument against the hygiene concept is that the affluent would have better opportunities to seek specialist care and have a diagnosis for their disease.
There are no large-scale studies which addressed specific environmental factors related to MS. Khadilkar et al. [29] have compared 63 patients with clinically definite MS with age, and sex-matched controls and evaluated the role of childhood viral infections, diet, evidence of concomitant autoimmune disorders, and smoking.Their study showed a significant association in history of childhood mumps (, odds ratio (OR) = 3, confidence interval (CI) = 1.3–7.2), and positive history of autoimmune diseases (, , CI = 1.2–6.8) among Indians with MS. There was a trend for association of MS among smokers in that 7 out of 10 smokers in Khadilakar's data set had MS.
6. Genetic Susceptibility for MS in Indians
The association between susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes has been extensively studied in European and migrant European populations but the role of these genes in Asian (especially from the Indian subcontinent) multiple sclerosis has received almost no attention. The HLA allele frequencies found in this population, and the patterns of correlation (linkage disequilibrium) between these alleles is substantially different from that seen in other more extensively studied ethnic groups emphasising the potentially informative nature of a study of these genes in Asians. A few small serological studies considering the class I genes were performed in the 1980's and found association with HLA-B12 [30, 31] rather than B7. Subsequently analysis of the class II HLA genes, DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 was attempted in a limited number of patients and revealed the expected association with the European susceptibility haplotype DRB1*1501—DQB1*0602 [32, 33]. In considering the merits of this population in connection with the genetic analysis of multiple sclerosis it is relevant to note that although DR2 is actually more common in Asians than in Europeans, the DRB1*1501 allele (the main subtype of DR2 in Europeans) is notably less common (allele frequency 8% in Asians as compared to 15% in Europeans) (http://www.allelefrequencies.net/). In Asians the other subtypes of DR2 (the DRB1*1502 and DRB1*16 alleles) are more common and the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 is significantly less intense [34]. As described above populations where the established risk allele (haplotype) is uncommon have been especially informative regarding the effects attributable to other alleles and loci [35]. Studying populations with alternate patterns of LD have been helpful in disentangling the effects of linked loci [36]. These factors suggest that a genetic analysis of the MHC region in Asian patients is likely to be highly informative. Recently efforts have been focused on evaluating the role of established nonMHC disease susceptibility loci in Indian population [37]. Fifteen MS loci outside of the major histocompatibility (MHC) region that were previously identified and validated with MS susceptibility through genomewide association and replication studies in white populations were studied in 197 patients and unrelated controls. Despite the low power of the study, nominal associations were seen especially with interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL7RA) and C type lectin domain family 16-(CLEC16 A-) associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) and the risk allele frequencies in Indian Asian and white MS patients were comparable for most SNP's types. These preliminary observations suggest a commonality in disease susceptibility genes for both Indian and white populations.
7. Conclusions
Despite a modest estimated prevalence of MS in India of 3/100,000, in this a nation of 1.2 billion people, there are probably more than 30,000 people with MS. With the currently available data, it appears that MS in India and in the west have similar presentations and risk factors. Although the role of selected environmental factors that confer susceptibility await evaluation, evidence suggests that genetic susceptibility factors may be similar in Indian and western populations, although this requires validation through larger studies. Collaborative efforts among specialist neurologists could help establish MS disease registries in various parts of the country to determine the longitudinal and natural history of this disease in India. Larger numbers would also increase the power of studies of genetic and environmental influences on MS in India.

Ford EcoSport, Ford B Max to be show stoppers at Geneva Motor Show
The summer of car world is about to being on March 8 with the Geneva Motor Show. It is here that some of the finest developments in the car arena will be displayed. As per the recent reports, Ford EcoSport will also be displayed at the Show along with the MUV/MPV Ford B Max. The upcoming Ford SUV is believed to create much abuzz at the show like it did in India during the Auto Expo held in New Delhi in January. The proposed SUV is based on the Ford Fiesta platform and is rumored to be under four meter in length. However, the present generation Ford Ecosport in production in Brazil is over four meter in length.

The other car that will also be awaited by the audience at the Ford pavilion will be the MPV Ford B-Max. The B Max was unveiled at the last Geneva Motor Show and now it is time for its global appearance. Both these cars are among the eight upcoming cars by Ford India. The Ford Ecosport is the one that India is expecting with full fervor as after its unveil at the Auto Expo in India, there was much enthusiasm for this Ford SUV in India. The Urban SUV as Ford calls has the looks of a strong SUV and the comfort and agility of a city car. The Ford Ecosport will be powered by the 1L EcoBoost Ford engine that is of 3 cylinders and is high on performance and mileage as well. The 120 PS engine with a maximum torque output of 170Nm will be sufficient enough for the new Ford SUV to have the decent thrust.
High stance, prominent wheel arches, big air dam for the SUV to breathe apart from 17 inch alloy wheels are combine to form a sturdy looking SUV image for EcoSport. Car critics also draw resemblance with the Renault Duster.

Moms, Please Get Over This Body Thing Once and For All
Let me just start by saying women are truly incredible creatures. I am so grateful and proud to be surrounded by so many of them. My mom, my sisters, my sisters-in-law, friends, colleagues, boss, and even mother-in-law (yes really) inspire me everyday. Why? They're all selfless, hard working, passionate, intelligent, entrepreneurial and powerful females. And these attributes are amplified when we have children. Somehow we summon the phenomenal strength from within to bear a child, then we love, protect, and nurture this beautiful baby for the rest of its life. It's a massive job, but we all go through it and come out the other side, still smiling. Yet despite how far we've come, somehow we can't get past our issues with body image. I'm not normally one to comment on these things because of the controversy it sparks, but I couldn't hold back any longer. This mom body bashing has to stop.
Recently hundreds of women, many of them fellow moms, took to Bugaboo's Facebook page to post negative comments about Dutch model Ymre Stiekema from Vogue Netherlands, and it has put me into despair. The popular pram company posted an image of the model pushing her two-year-old daughter, running in a bikini and many women deemed it "unrealistic". While I agree that most moms don't run in a bikini, it seems unfair to criticize any mother's body post baby. Models are genetic freaks of nature; They have unbelievable metabolisms, ridiculously long limbs, impeccable bone structure, and beautiful bodies, which is why they're models. It's their job to look this good. On their Facebook page one user commented, "Bugaboo, we need to talk. And by we, I mean me and whoever decided this is a good way to reach your target demographic of normal, average, everyday moms who might have some soft spots on their bodies left over from housing a fetus for 10 months."
First of all, what is "normal" or "average" anyway? I'd be the first to agree that this woman is not indicative of my post-baby body, but I know plenty of "normal" women who bounced back into their bodies after having a baby. This is called genetics, or they were just already pretty fit before they had a baby and their bodies bounced back quicker than most. But the comments continued, and it evolved beyond her body into what she was wearing when running. Thankfully another user wrote, "Really ladies? Are you that judgmental or jealous that you have to question what she is running in? Women should support each other not tear each other down because you feel inadequate. I would never get away with wearing that while I run, but great for her!"
And I have to agree. Instead of judging, criticizing, and shaming moms and brands for promoting "unattainable expectations"—and why the ad failed—isn't it time we come up with some answers instead. What is the alternative? If women are so outraged at seeing an "unrealistic" bodies in ads, then should we replace models with more "real" women? What do "real" women look like anyway? Isn't it unrealistic of a brand to choose just one woman to represent a group that spans so many differing looks, shapes, belief systems and ideals? How are we ever going to please everyone? When we posted this story about what normal people look like in fashion campaigns, some people cheered, but many didn't like the use of the word "normal" when referring to non-models. But this is beyond the point. Women should just accept each other for all their physical, emotional, and physiological differences. Let's create a sisterhood where moms encourage and accept one another, no matter what they look like.

Do you dislike the term "real" or "normal" to describe non-models? How would you like to be represented in your favorite brand's ads? Let us know in the comments.

Pierre Charpin at Apartment N°50 in la Cité Radieuse by Le Corbusier
Pierre Charpin is taking the stage this year at the Appartement N°50 at la Cité Radieuse in Marseille. The apartment has previously hosted temporary installations by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2010 and Jasper Morrison in 2008 and Konstantin Grcic in 2013.
Appartement N°50 is a privately owned home in the iconic Cité radieuse, the Modernist apartment block in Marseille, France. It's scrupulously protected in its original 1952 state and was classified as a "Historic Monument" in 1995. Thanks to the generosity and passion of its owner who still reside in the apartment, the place is made accessible to the public during the summer months of each year.
To insure that Le Corbusier's visionary Unité d'Habitation has the same vibrancy today as when it was originally conceived, the apartment is turned into a temporary stage for the ideas and works of contemporary designers.
Pierre Charpin sophisticated creations seem to fit perfectly with the original work by Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier. The artist also chose to keep some of his predecessors works. Objects designed by Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec punctuate the set as a signs of continuity.
Le Corbusier built la Cité radieuse, imagined as the vertical village between 1947 and 1951. Its design was inspired by travel, which explains why it looks like a giant steamboat anchored in a park. Around 1,600 people live in its 334 famously sound-proofed duplex apartments with functional 1950s interior design in a grid of modernist lines of exposed unsurfaced concrete.
[divider]About Pierre Charpin [/divider]
Born in 1962 in Saint-Mandré, Pierre Charpin is a visual artist who obtained his degree from the National School of Fine Arts in Bourges (F) in 1984. In the early 1990s, he decided to concentrate on designing objects and furniture.
He has since embarked upon a number of research projects with associations such as CIRVA (1998/2001) and CRAFT (2003/2005) as well as product design collaborations with internationally known design companies like Alessi, Cristallerie, Saint-Louis, Design Gallery Milano, Ligne Roset, Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, Pamar, Post Design, Tectona, Venini and the Wrong Shop.
He collaborates often with the Galerie kreo in Paris for different research projects. Since 2005, he works exclusively with the Parisian gallery for the production of his limited edition pieces. He has created several series of objects and personal exhibitions with kreo such as: Platform in 2006, All'aperto in 2008, 8 1/2 in 2009 and Ignotus Nomen in 2011.
In 2004 he was the prizewinner of the competition launched by the Société des Eaux de Paris (Paris Waterworks). Designed to convince Parisians of their tap water's quality and incite them to drink more of it, his cast glass Eau de Paris water carafe was produced in a batch of 60,000.
The vase "Triplo", created in 2004 and produced by Venini, was a part of the 2005 Compasso d'Oro (Golden Compass) design competition. The Paris Salon du meuble (furniture fair) named him "Creator of the Year" in 2005.
In 2010 he designed the scenography of the exhibition "Mobiboom" for the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris as well as the scenography for the third edition of Milan's Design Museum de la Triennale, "Quali Cose Siamo".
In 2011 he showed a personal exhibition at the Grand Hornu in Bossu, Belgium. The exhibition was entitled Pierre Charpin : 20 années de travail and he exposed many pieces designed between 1990 and 2010.
Many of his pieces are a part of the permanent collections of the FNAC (Fond National d'Art Contemporain), the Georges Pompidou center, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Grand-Hornu Images. He is also a part of many private Contemporary Art and Design collections in France and internationally.
Next to his design work, he has been working as a professor in the industrial design department at ECAL (Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne) since 2008.
After spending a lot of time in Milan (Italy) in the 1990's, he currently works and lives in Ivry sur Seine in Paris.

. . .go back there.
"Yeah, I ollied that hip...in 1994," I said as we walked up to the spot. Chad said he hadn't skated the downhill bank thing since 1990. Crap, we're old. What you don't see in the edit is the horrible time we had at the Lockport park. That place sucks. We once found a bag of knives there and met a kid who made his own cologne in his closet. Real talk.

Last week we finished a fantastic 2 days with a couple attending our Kairos
program at Safe Place Ministries. We had the privilege of watching God heal two discouraged and wounded children back to wholeness as they learned and received the Truth of their Identity in Christ. With them, we enjoyed breakfast at one of our favorite spots for an early morning breaking of the fast to start the day. Hugs and tears were very present as we sent them on their way. They left for the drive to the airport, to go on their way beginning their next stage of their calling in ministry.
Had a great rest of the day and about 10:00pm the time to "bed down", as we call it, I had a pain hit my belly that stopped me in my tracks. To cut the details short, Phil said, "I am going to take you to the ER". In our town, it is Union General Hospital and BTW its absolutely wonderful, the best in the country in my book!!! So early in the morning I checked in at 4:30am and after getting in a room by about 11:00 I was in the hands of master pain controller with an IV that flowed morphine in my veins. After several X-rays, a CAT scan and Colonoscopy they gave That Monster with Claws a name. I had Ischemic Colitis and Diverticulitis. "OH Great", I said. Now that begins the next adventure in my Life when I had other plans going on while going on my merry way. Got home four days later after my body started responding to the group of Doctor's and Nurse's care and knowledge. It made me go back in my minds eye and think, one day that group of people were kids that grew up and decided to help people get well. They have to be called to such a duty. They task at hand demands a lot to decide what schools to attend, and how to fund it, oh my goodness! Then to make a commitment to give a part of their time and lives to achieve what it takes to be qualified to obtain such an endeavor to be present on March 24 to 27th for Mary Mason to still be able to be present on this earth. My heart goes out to those folk who, I know God put in my path to make it possible to have my fingers still on this keyboard typing away telling you about my last few days.
Also, I am so grateful for a husband who stood by my side day and night. He would not go home, even slept on those "things" called chairs that eventually make a bed that you have to hold on to keep from falling off while you try to sleep. You haven't slept until you have been on one of those…. trust me!
So I am going to make it. Right now I have gone away alone to some place only about seven of my close secret keepers know about. I am going to get well here for a few days. It is a quite condo with a small river flowing down below my balcony. The sights are wonderful and so relaxing, just what the doctor ordered. I packed my bland foods "you know" the soup, soda crackers, ginger ale, laptop, journal, books and bible and made a slow drive over here and I will take it all in as I get my Life Center back…..

Quick Tips For Hiring The Right Lawyer
There will be times that you will be facing challenges and during these times, you will be forced to legally defend yourself. So make sure when this happens, you have a competitive and professional lawyer who will defend you. The question is, how will you determine whether you are hiring the right lawyer or not? Thanks to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) because it offers the following quick tips to help you hire the right lawyer.
- Know whom you are dealing with. Lawyers have different areas of expertise so be sure that your attorney has a relevant experience and knowledge about your case. Ask family, friends, and other relatives or go check your state or local bar associations for lawyer recommendations.
- Do your research. Interview multiple lawyers before hiring. Think of it as if you are hiring for your business and you are looking for the right employees. Be sure to ask if there are initial meeting fees (most of them don't have). Talk to them about your problems in a brief and concise manner. Don't forget to ask about their experience, fees, your options, what are the odds, limitations of work, and when the problem might be resolved.
- Understand what you've both agreed to. Be sure that you know how often will you be updated, what are the fees for specific services, how often will you be billed, what information should you provide, what your options are, and the total cost for the entire legal service. Be sure that this agreement will be written and recorded to use as future reference. If there's something that's not clear for you, clarify it to your lawyer and be sure that you are comfortable with your lawyer's approach towards your case.
- Understand the fees and payment arrangements. Be sure to know if you will be responsible for other fees such as copying of documents, courier services, court filing fees, and/or research services. Your lawyer should explain their fees and know if he or she is charging you reasonably. It is recommended to put this into writing. And here are the payment arrangement:
- Contingency fees– it is an arrangement where your lawyer gets a percentage of whatever money you receive as a resolution for your case.
- Flat fee– this is an arrangement where you pay your lawyer for a particular service
- Hourly rates– this is an arrangement where your final cost will depend on how long it takes to complete the work. Expert and experienced lawyers have higher hourly rate since they can finish tasks more quickly.
- Retainer– this is an arrangement where you pay your lawyer up front. This fee is usually spent as a down payment on expenses.
- Public Legal Service– this is an arrangement where you qualify for free or low-cost legal service through special organizations.
- Prepaid Legal Plans– this is an arrangement like an insurance policy. You will pay a monthly fee so when you need legal services in the future, it will be your insurance company's responsibility to provide you with it.

The Hollywood Reporter
By Stephen Galloway
Robert Ellis Miller, Director of 'Reuben, Reuben,' Dies at 89
He also helmed 'The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter' and 'Any Wednesday.' His late wife was the documentarian Pola Miller.
Robert Ellis Miller, the veteran director of films including 1968's The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and 1983's Reuben, Reuben, died Friday. He was 89.
He had been living at the Motion Picture & Television Country House since the death of his wife, documentarian Pola Miller (nee Chasman), two years ago.
Miller's film version of Heart, the 1940 Carson McCullers novel about a deaf man's relationship with a teenage girl in 1930s Georgia, starred Alan Arkin and introduced an unknown Sondra Locke to the screen. Both received Oscar nominations for their work, and the movie was nominated for a Golden Globe in the best drama category.
"Arkin, as Singer, is extraordinary, deep and sound," wrote Renata Adler in a New York Times review. "Walking, with his hat jammed flat on his head, among the obese, the mad, the infirm, characters with one leg, broken hip, scarred mouth, failing life, he somehow manages to convey every dimension of his character, especially intelligence."
Dan Bronson, the writer of HBO's The Last Innocent Man, used Heart to teach students about the grammar of motion pictures during an earlier career as an academic. "Heart is one of the films that gave me the resolve to turn my back on tenure and ride the rollercoaster of Hollywood," he noted in an essay about the movie. "But it did more than inspire me. It moved me."
Miller's most warmly received film was the comedic drama Reuben, Reuben, starring Tom Conti as a debauched poet battling writer's block. The picture was included in competition at Cannes — which Miller regarded as one of the highlights of his career — and earned Conti and writer Julius J. Epstein Oscar nominations. It too was nominated for a Golden Globe (best drama).
"Very much in the British tradition of quality," noted critic Emanuel Levy, "Robert Ellis Miller's Reuben, Reuben is a modest, intimate and intelligent film, featuring an Oscar-nominated turn from Tom Conti, better known for his stage work."
A warm, good-humored man with a love of puns and an infectious enthusiasm, he was fond of describing how MCA Universal's powerful executive Lew Wasserman would confuse him with the similar-looking director Arthur Hiller. "Miller-Hiller!" he'd bark. "Hiller-Miller!"
He spoke warmly of Bette Davis, whom he had once directed, and whose neighbor he was in Los Angeles' famed Colonial building, doing a spot-on imitation of the intimidating star as she would listen, hawk-like, then flick her cigarette ash across the floor, either in approval or disapproval.
An astute but generous observer of the industry, Miller recalled meeting the young Steven Spielberg, who came to visit one of his sets, and remembered how gracious the twenty-something was.
Once asked to name the greatest myth about the movie business, he replied: "That the camera never lies."
At Harvard, he was president of its Dramatic Club and a member of the Hasty Pudding Society. He entered television upon graduation, assisting other major directors including Sidney Lumet before going on to direct such shows as Naked City, Route 66, The Twilight Zone and The Rogues.
His first feature was 1967's Any Wednesday, starring Jane Fonda and Jason Robards Jr. Other credits included Sweet November, The Buttercup Chain, The Big Truck and The Girl From Petrovka. His last film was the 1996 ABC TV movie The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Miller and his wife spent several years living in London, where Miller directed the Timothy Dalton starrer Hawks. Among the other A-list stars he directed were Goldie Hawn, Anthony Hopkins, Peter Ustinov, Cicely Tyson, Omar Sharif and James Coburn.
He received an Emmy Award nomination for 1991's ABC drama series Alcoa Premiere and a DGA nomination for an episode of 1963's TV series Breaking Point.

Gbarakoo: There is total lack of commitment to Ogoni cleanup
Secretary General of the Ogoni Environment Foundation (OEF) cum environmental entomologist, Dr. Tambeke Gbarakoo, told KELVIN EBIRI, that the delay in the cleanup of Ogoni Land, and failure to provide basic amenities, seven years after the publication of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report on the area, speaks volumes about the Federal Government and oil companies' lack of commitment to carry out the exercise.
Six years after, can the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Report on Ogoni Land, still be relied on for the cleanup of the area?
I will say no. This is because of what is happening in the Niger Delta. In the last seven years, it could happen that there are fresh contamination even in those areas where contamination occurred earlier and evaluation was carried out. You can't afford another spill because that increases the toxicity level of the pollutant around there, but the key thing is that something must be done because the noise about the cleanup is much. Mind you, it is not only cleaning that particular area that is of much concern to us. There are certain preliminary things to be done to assure the people that the cleaning will be done, including the provision of potable water and healthcare facilities for the people. This will give them hope that the government is ready to clean the place. But when you emphasise cleaning and things that ought to be done are left undone, what hope does the Ogoni man have that his farm is actually going to be cleaned? These are the issues. If you look at the UNEP report, you will see that there are certain things that are to be done, which have not been done.
For instance, in the area of healthcare, we have existing hospitals in Ogoni, but has the government furnished them with necessary equipment? It is not coming to build new hospitals that is the issue, the ones that are there should be equipped enough to address challenges arising from oil pollution because health situation is very precarious in Ogoni Land.
Is the cleanup not turning out to be mere political gimmick?
I don't want to discuss whether it is political or not. We want to look at the realities on ground. We at the Ogoni Environmental Foundation (OEF) are following up the process. We want to see how the thing is being implemented. The Hydro-carbon Pollution Restoration Project (HYPREP) coordinator is going round the area sensitising the people about what to expect. They talked about training some youths that would be engaged in the cleanup. If you ask me, I don't know if the HYPREP coordinator has a functional office. You are aware that they came to Bori and did the groundbreaking (without a contractor, or any architectural design) for what is expected to be office for the Centre of Excellence, where people will be trained. Several months after, there is nothing on ground there. So, who are we deceiving? As stakeholders, we should be able to say that since the groundbreaking ceremony, this is the level the building has reached or this is the contractor, but they are always on air talking about the cleanup when there is no serious commitment on the side of the government. One would have expected that infrastructure would be on ground by now so that you can see people working in the offices and you can also know from them when they are going to the field to commence the exercise. These things are not there.
Is there a nexus between government's apparent lack of commitment and the fact that oil drilling is currently not taking place in Ogoni?
If that is what the government thinks right now, what will be its thinking in the future about the entire Niger Delta? Ogoni is just a part of the area that produces oil. If because oil exploration is not going on there, as a government, are you supposed to abandon the area and go to areas where you are exploring oil? That obviously does not show commitment on the part of the government.
So, we can safely say that government is not committed to the project?
There is no commitment. Let's start from the Ministry of Environment. Since groundbreaking ceremony, what has the ministry done? Apart from asking a few questions about how much has been expended in the cleanup recently, what has the National Assembly really done? Is there any befitting office for HYPREP since the groundbreaking ceremony took place, or has any contactor been awarded contract to construct the office structure? Generally when you look at all these things, you will discover that there is simply no commitment as nothing is going on about the cleanup. Where is the training going on for people they have recruited from the area that will partake in the exercise, or is it supposed to be hidden? Even the provision of potable water that the United Nations recommended, has not been done. Go to Ogoni now if you can find an alternative to what has been existing in terms of water facilities. There is total lack of commitment.
It is not enough to appoint a project coordinator for HYPREP and then no provision is made for him to function. One danger is that by now the people are still hopeful that something is going to happen, but once that hope is lost, it is going to be difficult for even HYPREP to operate in the area. So, the Federal Government needs to utilise the confidence it is enjoying now in Ogoni and not allow it to wane because once that happens, it will be difficult to operate in the area.
Ogoni is predominately known for fishing. What is the situation there now?
Fishing activities is drastically low. If you go to the shore in Bodo, a fishing community, the catch fishermen would come back with is not like what it used to be before, and this is a very serious issue. In fact, we have done a lot of researches like the one we are doing now. Children like to feed on crickets, especially during the raining season. Most of the areas where they get these crickets are polluted. The consequence is better imagined.
Should there be a re-evaluation of the UNEP report?
A re-evaluation is very necessary. Evaluation of the areas that were not captured in the UNEP report is very necessary, but again, there are areas you need to kick-start things. However, the key thing is for us to see that something is being done. If the cleaning starts, my organisation will also take the soil and water samples to check if anything has changed.
What are some environmental concerns you have about the cleanup?
In our letter to the Minister of Environment, we stated that organic solvent should be used for the cleanup instead of non-organic. Now, we gather that some people are thinking that nitrogenous fertiliser should be used in order to boost the soil nutrient. That is quite alright, soil nutrient will be boosted, but there is a danger in it. We are already talking about heavy contamination in the area and now you want to use nitrogenous fertiliser, which means you are killing the people more because when it gets to underground water, we are in trouble. That is why OEF is following up the process keenly. If we find out that nitrogenous fertiliser is used, we will raise the alarm. You are aware that the loamy soil in Ogoni is completely gone. So, if you now put nitrogenous fertiliser it will get to the underground waters, and when it gets to the aqualfs, there is a distribution and when children drink such water a very serious health problem will occur that generations to come would suffer from a syndrome. We are monitoring to ensure that nitrogenous fertiliser is not used. You can mop up the oil and use organic solvent in cleaning and you will get a better result. Our happiness is that the HPYREP project coordinator is an environmentalist and he knows this. If you visit the areas concerned, you will discover that certain microorganism are completely gone.
An agrarian area like Ogoni has some microorganisms, which I will also call micro-atropos, they work in synergy to ensure that there is decomposition and nutrification of the soil. Now, from our studies, we found out that some of these are no longer there because of the pollution. So, by the time you start growing crops, it is wasted efforts on the part of the farmers because the biodiversity of the organism must be restored. That is what is important in the cleaning of the environment. So, if the place is well cleaned, we will see those things coming up. Another factor, which I am afraid of, is the use of external organisms, which are not indigenous. Once that is done, you have cleared away our local organisms and we will henceforth depend on foreign organisms, a development that will pose serious danger to the ecosystem. That is why the re-evaluation is very important. OEF has a list of species, which are indigenous to Ogoni. If foreign organisms are to be brought to the area in the name of cleanup, we have to know where they were tested before, and how it worked. Bringing in something too foreign, that is exotic species will wipe away the local species and change the structure of the ecosystem maybe that of the United States, or wherever they brought them from. That is why everybody is anxious to see what the government is doing.
Won't the politicking ahead of 2019 polls further delay the cleanup exercise?
You would recall that during the Ogoni struggle we lost a lot of our leaders and we have now moved to this level. This presupposes that somebody should not toy with this area. Politics no doubt will soon set in, but one thing I can assure you is that the people are very much enlightened. They are also aware that one or two persons will come and say vote for us because of the cleanup. If the man you are wooing to support you does not see any physical thing on ground, how will you be able to convince him? So, using the clean up for politicking will not work because the people must see that you have made some effort. Another thing is that if you wait till few months to election to come and start something, the Ogoni people are also aware that such things could happen, and we are monitoring and seeing what is going on. You can't just come and tip sand somewhere and say you want to start work when it is two or six months to the election. The government has to be committed. Right now, the Ogoni people are very hopeful that something is about to happen there. But, if nothing happens a year after now, the people will react because they will feel deceived and disappointed. So, the aspect of politicking to me, is an old fashioned thing that cannot work.
What are the consequences of further delay?
One is that the confidence the people have will be eradicated. The more you delay the more the people will say these people are not serious, but they only came to play politics with us. So, when you come again, they people will conclude that you are not committed, and that confidence will be eroded totally. Secondly, there will be continuous suffering by the people; their health situation will worsen and hope would be lost. What will be the fate of an Ogoni widow whose only asset is this polluted land? How will she survive? The government has promised her health centre and potable water, but there is none anywhere.

Triumphant by Mariah Carey– Mimi has been emancipated once again. Triumphant is a perfectly average song. What happened to the Mariah Carey who fused R&B and bubblegum POP (Always Be My Baby, Fantasy, Dream Lover)? Someone please tell Miss Cribz that hip hoppity POP hasn't been relevant since 2006. Mariah is pushing herself into irrelevance by sounding like a has-been. Triumphant is completely generic. If she had played with some more experimental production (a la Azealia Banks), she could at least be considered an innovator. Instead, Mariah has made something that sounds far less fresh than the hits that made her, and in the process, she's shitting on her iconic status. It's really a shame and makes me quite sad. Also, Mariah is a DIVA who doesn't need to perpetuate this pink, Paris Hilton doggy in a Louis Vuitton aesthetic – it cheapens her.
Gold by Neon Hitch – The start of Gold is some gorgeous emotional POP balladry, yet eventually the production shifts into Ke$ha territory. Why is everything sounding the same same same? Benny Blanco has crafted some beautiful tracks in his short career, so I don't understand why his work with Neon is a mashup of everything I've heard in the last two years. Let's move POP forward! Also, what is with this Tyga feature? I don't recall Madonna's Holiday featuring LL Cool J. Plain. Simple. Period.
What do I consider innovative POP? Winner, the first single and best track off of Contact, the new album from The Noisettes. Soul, synthesizers, and tinge of electric guitar are just what the doctahhh ordered.

I can still remember how excited I was. I ran like a little girl to my husband holding the pregnancy test that confirmed we were blessed with baby #2. I immediately made appointments, changed my diet, and prepared my life for entry to the family of 4 category. I told my 4-year old and read him books about the baby inside of mommy and all that it would mean for our family.
I spent my days reading blogs, joining mommy groups, and collecting all of the items I had saved after my son was born that would now belong to my new baby. I saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks and heard it at 8 weeks. My husband, despite my protests, told everyone he knew immediately; even the people in line when we went grocery shopping. My belly grew larger every day and I could not be more excited.
In the weeks between my 8 week ultrasound and my 12 week visit, I was so anxious. I just wanted to hear the heartbeat again, wanted to be sure that all was well. In those 4 weeks I planned our future. Finally my 12 week appointment rolled around and I dressed in my cutest maternity outfit for the occasion.
Then, there was silence.
The doctor looked at me and said, "I am sorry, but there does not seem to be a heartbeat". I saw my baby lying lifeless on the screen and I felt my world start to collapse a little. My head was spinning and I only saw the doctors mouth move as he told me what the next steps would be. They brought my husband in, and as he held my beautiful son in his arms, I told him that we would continue to be a family of 3.
I cried. I cried a lot. I removed myself from mommy message boards and joined the healing from loss boards, deleted my baby registry, and hid from everybody who knew about the pregnancy. I found out that many women refer to children they have lost as "angel babies". I learned that I was not alone. I decided to miscarry at home naturally. I suppose it was my way of saying goodbye. As the physical pain progressed, the emotional pain began to wash away with it. I was healing.
I started to count my blessings instead of my losses. My husband held my hand through the entire thing, probably masking his own grief. He was talkative when I needed a distraction and silent when I needed my space. He loved me through it all. My son kissed me every chance he could get and told me knock knock jokes. My mother and my sister called me every day, just to make sure I was okay. With them, I made it through.
In the doctor's office that day when the heartbeat went silent, my son asked why Mommy was so sad and we told him. He proceeded to take out his two favorite toy cars and race them on the floor at my feet. He looked up at me and said, "Did the race cheer you up Mommy, your car won."
As I think back to that moment, I realize that he was right.
I did win. I walked out of the office that day with a family when I know some walk out alone. I was comforted in the weeks after when some don't ever have that kind of support. It has been two weeks since that day, but it feels like I took a much longer journey. This journey showed me how strong I really am, how blessed I have been, that the birth of my first son was nothing short of a miracle, and that love can heal even the most broken-hearted.

Samuel Hollander : biography
Samuel Hollander, (born April 6, 1937) is a British/Canadian/Israeli economist.
Born in London, he received a B.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics in 1959. In 1961 he received an AM and a Ph.D. in 1963 from Princeton University. He started with the University of Toronto becoming an Assistant Professor (1963–1966), Associate Professor (1966–1970), Professor (1970–1984), University Professor (1984–1998), and upon his retirement in 1998, University Professor Emeritus. Since 2000 he is a Professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He became a citizen of Canada in 1967 and of Israel in 2000.
Samuel Hollander is one of the most influential and controversial living authors on History of Economic Thought, especially on classical economics. His monumental studies of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus and John Stuart Mill have provoked some sharp reactions. Especially his "new view" of David Ricardo as a direct predecessor of later neo-classical economists such as Marshall and Walras has triggered heated debates. Apart from many critics he has also enjoyed the support of a considerable number of prominent fellow economists. His work was highly recommended by the late Lord Robbins, who says "... he really surpasses all previous historians of economic thought, especially on Ricardo" (Robbins, 1998, p. 143).

|Stockholm aftermath [Image Source]
Around 3:00 pm Friday, a stolen beer-delivery truck driven by a masked man hurtled directly into a crowd of shoppers on Stockholm's busiest shopping street, Drottninggatan, before ploughing into the side of the Åhléns mall. The truck caught fire and the driver fled on foot, eventually trying to get onto a subway and then a bus, evidently bleeding all the way according to this Swedish news report.
All the while, the city was in lock-down; public transport was shut down and the city center was paralyzed by police and security forces activity. Swedish government offices, situated a block from Drottninggatan, approximately 700 meters from where the attack took place, were evacuated [Aftonbladet].
The Swedish authorities are, naturally enough, calling it a terrorist attack.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a 39-year-old man from Uzbekistan was arrested after a police operation in Märsta, a suburb of Stockholm near Arlanda airport. Swedish public broadcaster SVT said a second man, linked to the first, was arrested later in the northern suburb Hjulsta. Writing about the main suspect, Aftonbladet says:
In his social media accounts the man has expressed positive views of the terror organisation IS, and also "liked" a picture on Facebook of bloody victims taken seconds after the explosion at the Boston Marathon in April 2013. One of the man's acquaintances..: "He has four children and works in construction... He never speaks about politics or religion, the only thing he talks abut is getting more work so that he can send more money to his family"...A Reuters report from Saturday afternoon says:
"Nothing indicates that we have the wrong person, on the contrary, suspicions have strengthened as the investigation has progressed," Dan Eliasson, head of Sweden's national police, told a news conference on Saturday. The man, detained on Friday night on terrorism charges after the attack in the heart of the capital, appeared to have acted alone but "we still cannot rule out that more people are involved," he said... Police did not name the detainee, but said he was from the central Asian republic of Uzbekistan and that he had seemed peripheral in intelligence reports. "We received intelligence last year, but we did not see any links to extremist circles," Sapo security police chief Anders Thornberg said. Eliasson said there were "clear similarities" to an attack last month in London in which six people died, including the assailant who drove a hired car into pedestrians on a bridge. Vehicles have also been used as weapons in Nice and Berlin in the past year in attacks claimed by Islamic State.Daily Mail UK, quoting Swedish media reports, says today that police investigating the attack have arrested six more suspects after three were bundled out of a car and police raided a property 12 miles from the attack scene.
Saturday evening the police stopped a car on the island of Kungsholmen, a central part of Stockholm, and detained three persons in connection to the attack. Police had to smash the window on the driver's side of the car and at least two of the persons in the car were wrestled to the ground by police wearing plainclothes. [Aftonbladet, April 8, 2017]The loss of life in the attack could easily have been much greater. Bomb disposal experts are reported to have found an improvised explosive device packed into a suitcase inside the hijacked beer truck. In Daily Mail's words:
The discovery of the bomb points to a planned terror attack rather than an opportunistic attack. It is not known why the IED failed to detonate.According to Associated Press:
The prime minister urged citizens to "get through this" and strolled through the streets of the capital to chat with residents... [But] many in Sweden were shocked by the attack, questioning whether Swedish society — considered democratic and egalitarian — had failed in some way.BBC points out that
Sweden is believed to have the highest number of Islamic State group fighters per capita in Europe. About 140 of the 300 who went to Syria and Iraq have since returned, leaving the authorities to grapple with how best to reintegrate them into society.Developing.
