Byter Leo sent me an email captioned 'Fantastic Black and White Photos Colorized'.
The intro accompanying the email reads as follows:
These 53 colorized photos from the past will blow you away.
Up until the 1970s, color photography was rare, and so when we think about history prior to that time, we often envision it in black and white. Today's technology now enables us to 'colorize' historical photos, giving us our only chance at seeing what the world really looked like back then. And it was truly spectacular. Take a trip back in time through these photos below.
It's quite incredible to see Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein in living color.
Some of the photos in the collection sent to me have been posted in Bytes before, mostly in black and white. Colourisation adds an immediacy that is not present in black and white.
I will post the photos, including the ones that have been in Bytes in the past, from time to time in groups of 3 or so, with some comments added by me.
Hopefully you will find them as interesting and fascinating as I do.
1. Claude Monet, 1923
Some comments:
- Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a founder of French Impressionist painting, a 19th century art movement.
- Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
- The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. The name of the art work prompted the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. His article, The Exhibition of the Impressionists, declared that the painting was at most, a sketch.

2. Brigadier General and actor Jimmy Stewart.
Stewart flew 20 combat missions over Nazi-occupied Europe, and even flew one mission during Vietnam.
Some comments:
- James Maitland "Jimmy" Stewart (1908 – 1997) was an American actor, known for his distinctive drawl and down-to-earth persona. He starred in many films that are considered to be classics, and is known for portraying an American middle-class man struggling with a crisis.
- Stewart's enlistment in March, 1941 made him the first major American movie star to wear a military uniform in World War II. As a bomber pilot, he flew 20 official sorties in highly dangerous conditions, including bombing attacks on Berlin, and continued to fly uncredited missions after having been reassigned. He finished the war a full colonel, one of only a few Americans to rise from private to colonel in 4 years.
- Stewart received two Distinguished Flying Crosses for actions in combat and was awarded the Croix de Guerre. He also received the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters
Receiving French Croix de Guerre with Palm in 1944
- At the beginning of June 1945, Stewart was the presiding officer of the court-martial of a pilot and navigator who were charged with dereliction of duty for having accidentally bombed the Swiss city of Zurich the previous March—the first instance of U.S. personnel being tried for an attack on a neutral country. The court acquitted the defendants.
- Stewart continued to play a role in the Army Air Forces Reserve following World War II and the new United States Air Force Reserve after the establishment of the Air Force as an independent service in 1947.
- In 1959, Stewart was promoted to brigadier general. During his active duty periods, he remained current as a pilot of intercontinental bombers of the Strategic Air Command. In 1966, Brigadier General Stewart flew as a non-duty observer in a B-52 on a bombing mission during the Vietnam War. He refused the release of any publicity regarding his participation, as he did not want it treated as a stunt, but as part of his job as an officer in the Air Force Reserve. After 27 years of service, Stewart retired from the Air Force on May 31, 1968
3. Pablo Picasso
Some comments:
- Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also known as Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France.
- One of Picasso's most famous works, Guernica, depicts the bombing and aerial attack on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Carried out by the German and Italian airforces at the behest of the Spanish nationalist government, it is one of the first raids on a defenceless civilian population by a modern air force.
- Picasso's painting depicts the horror and brutality of what had taken place.
- During WW2 he was resident in Paris but unable to show his works because his style did not fit Nazi acceptability. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica. "Did you do that?" the German asked Picasso. "No," he replied, "You did".
- The Paul McCartney/Wings song Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) was written during a dinner party Paul and Linda McCartney had in Montego Bay, Jamaica with the actor Dustin Hoffman.
According To McCartney:
On one of our Jamaican holidays we had heard that Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen were around, shooting the film Papillon. We were invited to visit the set and Dustin asked us back to his house for dinner. He was asking me how I write songs; I explained that I just make them up. He said, Can you make up a song about anything?' I wasn't sure, but he pulled out a copy of Time, pointed to an article and said, 'Could you write a song about this? It was a quote from Picasso, from the last night of his life. Apparently, he had said to his friends, 'Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore,' and then gone to bed and died in his sleep. So I picked up a guitar, started to strum and sing 'Drink to me, drink to my health...', and Dustin was shouting to his wife, 'He's doing it! He's doing it! Come and listen!' It's something that comes naturally to me but he was blown away by it. And that song became Picasso's Last Words.

Actually it has been almost 5 weeks of school and since the last time I blogged. Sorry about the long absence. You all know what happens. You've been there too.
I have slowly been getting my room set up and even though it is not "done". I decided to show you my progress.
You also can see the sponge bucket. I wet down the sponges and give each table two. They can clean off the glue or paint on their fingers, then the tables. This also saves on paper towels. Have you ever seen how wet a 1st grader can get a table? Then they have to dry it, and dry it and dry and dry. Whew you get the idea.
These are just a couple from the first class after our second day when we made pandas to add to our landscape. Next week we make a frame! Yeah.
I am having so much fun with my new students. Maybe I will be able to stop once in a while to blog more.

This post isn't intended to be a complete list of solutions to issue when you are unexpectedly prompted for AD credentials when browsing with Internet Explorer, but it gives some rules of thumb regarding where to start looking. The scenario: You try accessing a page using IE, and are prompted by a 'Windows Security' dialog for AD credentials when you don't expect it.
Possible causes: There are many, but the first thing to do is work out if it's a server-side issue, or a client-side issue. A simple test is what happens if you provide valid credentials in the Windows Security dialog:
- If you can then connect, then this is a client-side issue
- If you are prompted again, either 2 or 3 times, then get a permission error (normally HTTP 401), then it is a server-side issue
Client-side issues If it's a client-side issue, then look at the client IE settings, and the URL of the web page: If IE considers that you have already logged into the DNS domain (the part of the url prior to the first single / - e.g. http://crm:5555/), then it should reuse these credentials and you won't be prompted to login. However, IE is picky about matching the DNS domain, so if you've already logged into http://crm, then it won't trust other aliases (e.g. http://localhost, http://crm.mydom.com, http://192.168.0.1) and will prompt for credentials.
If you're using CRM 4 and have extension pages in the ISV directory of the CRM web site, then it is best to provide the URL as a relative path (e.g. /ISV/MyCompany/MyPage.aspx) rather than an absolute path, to avoid this issue.
The IE security settings will determine whether IE will try submitting your logged-on credentials. By default, it will only do this if you connect to a site in the Local Intranet Zone, so check the IE security settings, and the zone of the web site you're connecting to
Server-side issues If it's a server-side issue, then there are many possible causes, but most of them come to Kerberos in one way or another

Turn your kitchen into a laboratory as you explore the chemistry of food! Food comes in so many shapes, textures, colors, and delicious flavors, but it all serves one purpose: to give your body the nutrition it needs to survive. Different foods provide different nutrients, like vitamin C, carbohydrates, and lipids. Can you figure out what you're getting from your favorite food? Use these three simple chemistry tests to sleuth it out. (Note: Adult supervision required when working with chemicals.)
Science Project Video – Vitamin C
What You Need:
- Food samples: saltine crackers, fruit juices, peanut butter, bread, egg white, applesauce, milk, yogurt, etc.
- Benedict's solution (glucose indicator)
- Indophenol (vitamin C indicator)
- Brown paper bag (for lipid test)
- Test tubes
- Pipets
- Lab apron and safety gloves
- Or buy the complete Food Chemistry Kit
Stop the Scurvy – Vitamin C Test
What foods have vitamin C? Do oranges have more than lemons? Do a simple chemistry test to find the answer.
>> Check out our project video to see the test in action!
- Choose several different things to test for vitamin C: tomato juice, orange juice, lemon juice, mango, kiwi, etc. You may also choose a food product that says it has vitamin C added. (If it is a solid, grind it up and mix with water to make a solution.)
- Make some indophenol solution by combining a small amount (less than 1/8 teaspoon) with 1 cup of water. Stir until it is well mixed.
- Put 15 drops of indophenol solution into a test tube.
- Add one of the juices you chose to the indophenol drop by drop. Record how many drops it takes to turn the blue indophenol colorless.
- Repeat with the other juices and compare the number of drops of each that you added. 3
Vitamin C is a vital nutrient for humans that aids our immune system and helps prevent disease. Many animals can make their own vitamin C, but humans must get it from their diet, which is why the vitamin C content of the food we eat is important. At one time a disease called scurvy was common among sailors, because they had no access to fruits and vegetables at sea. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C.
Indophenol is an indicator that turns colorless in the presence of vitamin C. The fewer drops of juice you need for the color change, the higher the vitamin C content in the juice. Which fruits had the most vitamin C? Do you think different preserving methods (canning, drying, freezing) has an effect on vitamin C? Do some more tests to find out!
Sugar and Starch – Glucose Test
- Fill two test tubes with an inch of Benedict's solution each. To one add 15 drops of the saltine-and-water solution, to the other add the saltine-and-saliva solution. (Use two different pipets and label the test tubes so you can tell them apart.)
- Fill a glass with boiling water and then set the test tubes in it and wait for three minutes. Remove the test tubes from the hot water and allow them to cool. Swirl the contents and observe the color of the liquid. Is there a difference between the two?
Glucose is a simple sugar (carbohydrate) that plants produce by the process of photosynthesis. It is the primary source of energy for our body's cells, and is able to enter our bloodstream quickly to provide energy right away. Without glucose, our bodies wouldn't function! Plants store extra glucose in a more complex carbohydrate called starch. During digestion, our bodies break the starch back down into glucose for our cells to use as an energy source.
In this project you saw that process in action. Saltine crackers have lots of starch. When you chewed one of the crackers, an enzyme in your saliva, called amylase, started to break the starch down into glucose. Benedict's solution is a glucose indicator that changes colors based on how much glucose is present. Green, yellow, orange, or red indicates the presence of glucose. The color difference in your two test tubes proves that the chewed-up cracker contained glucose while the other didn't.
Looking for Lipids – Fat Test
- Cut off the side of a brown paper bag so you have a sheet of brown paper.
- Make solutions of several different foods you want to test for lipids. (You can try milk, peanut butter, yogurt, bread, etc.) Mix 1/2 teaspoon of ground food with 1 teaspoon water.
- Use a permanent marker to divide the brown paper into several sections and label each section with the name of one of the foods, as in the picture on the right.
- Put three drops of each food solution on the paper in its section. Use a clean pipet for each test. Also, test water in one section to show the result with a substance that doesn't have any lipids.
- Wait a few minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Hold up the paper to the light and look at each spot. The foods that contain lipids will leave a greasy mark that turns the brown paper translucent. Which foods have lipids? Are some of the greasy spots bigger than others?
Lipids are fats and oils, made of molecules that don't dissolve in water. They are very important for our body functions because they transport vitamins, help form cell walls, and store energy long-term. Eating too much fat can be very unhealthy, but every good diet will contain a moderate amount. How many of the foods you tested contained lipids? Try comparing food that has a "regular" version and a "low-fat" (or "non-fat") version. Is there a difference between the spots left by skim milk and whole milk?
- For more fun project ideas, see our Science Experiment Videos page.

...in which Danny cooks for an hour and a half, only to discover that he doesn't really like beef kidney
Yea...that's pretty much all there is to it. It's not terrible, but I don't really like it. However, the sauce was really awesome, so maybe try it with a different meat. (I guess this is why kidney only costs $1.50/lb...)

Crazy Horse is one of the most famous Native American Chiefs in history. He was born in (circa) 1840 – the same year that The Treaty of Waitangi was signed half a world away in New Zealand.
Named at birth Cha-O-Ha ("In the Wilderness" or "Among the Trees") he soon developed the nickname 'curly' in reference to his unusually curly hair. He was said to have "dreamed and went into the world where there is nothing but the spirits of all things" and in this "world behind our world" he found a mirror image of himself "made up of only spirit, nothing solid" sitting atop a horse that danced crazily, hence his new name "Crazy Horse" which in his language of The Lakota tribesmen means literally – "His-Horse-Is-Crazy"
One year prior to his death, the mainly Sioux forces he lead decimated the 7th United States Cavalry and General George Custer was killed in battle attempting to hold out for relief forces – Custers Last Stand.
So, it was with a lot of interest that I got to catch up with New Zealand WelterWeight MMA Champion – Kelvin "Crazy Horse" Joseph for some Q&A!
#TheUW – 1st of all, just wanted to say that I was fortunate enough to be cage-side for your championship fight against BJ Bland at Shuriken NZs Proving Grounds on July 26 (this year) and congrats mate, such a hard-fought battle! You stayed composed and came out on top with an excellent finish via Armbar. It was awesome to be there live covering the night!
#TheUW – How did that moment feel for you?
It felt great, thanks. A lot of hard work by myself all my coaches and team mates paid off when it mattered.
#TheUW – Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background/influences and heroes and how you found MMA.
I'm a brown belt under Roger Gracie and also have a brown belt in Judo. Having won the New Zealand National Free-Style Wrestling Title I had the opportunity to represent New Zealand at the FILA Wrestling World Championships in Budapest last year.
Once back from Budapest I set my sights on the Shuriken NZ MMA WelterWeight Title.
My heroes are Roger Gracie, Ivan "Diesel" Walker and Doug Vinnie.
#TheUW – Tell me about Hybrid MMA and what you guys are getting done down there in Tauranga!
Hybrid MMA has been going for about four years and have done very well on the competition scene.
At the start of the year I also opened up the Roger Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, that is growing extremely fast and doing well in competitions too.
#TheUW – I know you do a lot of work in the community, tell me about what you get up to and how you see the role of the modern MMA fighter?
I'm very lucky I work for The New Zealand Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Addictions Services – CAMHS of the District Health Board as a Health and Wellness Coach.
This gives me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of young kids deal from those that have been stood down from school, to drug and alcohol issues as well as mental health.
Its great be seen as a big brother/ mentor to these young kids and make a positive influence in their lives.
#TheUW – That's awesome! Great work my friend.
#TheUW – You're based in Tauranga, absolutely beautiful place and great people. Is there anything about training in a regional town that you think gives you an edge?
Well is goes without saying that we have a lot milder climate compared to some other parts of New Zealand with great mountains and beaches to train on. Other than that Hybrid MMA and Roger Gracie BJJ is run out of a location The Martial Arts Academy – TMAA.
This is a world class facility with ring, cage, wall to wall mats and all the gear you need to succeed!
#TheUW – What do you think summarizes the New Zealand fighting spirit and how does that translate into your training and your fights??
There is a definite 'never say die' attitude and real warrior spirit. I believe it is what drives so many young athletes to compete in this sport and (I) feel the best is yet to come!
#TheUW – Recently the UFC held their 1st ever New Zealand show, did you get a chance to attend?
Unfortunately not…………….. I had father duties that weekend.. [smiles]
#TheUW – An admirable cause [smiles]! At UFC Auckland, we saw Dan "The Hangman" Hooker win his debut with devastating elbows while deep in a heel-hook attempt. How does seeing kiwis having success overseas motivate you?
It was great to see. Dan was some one that I had the pleasure of training with leading into my fight. Not only is he an awesome fighter but one hell of a nice guy.. [smiles]
#TheUW – Where to from here? What are your next fights moving forwards? Where would you like to be in the next 18 months?
With the help of my sponsors, Bedlam Fight Wear, Adonis Supplements and The Martial Arts Academy I'm looking to make the trip over to (The United States) Jackson's MMA Association and Xtreme Couture later this year. The aim is also to become an affiliated MMA coach with Jackson's MMA Academy and hopefully open more doors for me and other kiwi fighters.. [smiles]
#TheUW – Wow, that's great news! [smiles]
#TheUW – Awesome, thanks heaps for that Kelvin, great to catchup, learn a bit more about you and what you're about! I look forward to covering your fights and following your career in NZMMA 🙂
Thank you, its been my pleasure!

We have lived in Durham for almost a whole year now, and until last weekend, I had never been to The Scrap Exchange!
The Scrap Exchange is this awesome nonprofit creative reuse center. What that means is that people and companies donate any and every kind of supply you can think of and they resell it. So basically its a giant warehouse full of tons of stuff! It helps promote creativity in the community by providing low cost supplies to artists, educators, and the public. In one word: AWESOME.
We saw so much amazing stuff, and our minds raced with all the potential projects we could create.
They had lots of electronics and building supplies.
We found some great old LIFE Magazines from the last century. We dug through every one of them looking for one from 1958. (That's the year our house was built.) No such luck. It would have been such a neat piece of memorabilia to have on the coffee table or possibly frame.
We couldn't believe how many medical supplies they had.
There were also a few items that we had no clue what they were. Apparently we weren't the only ones who were clueless.
I can only imagine the crafts that could happen with this many corks!
This place was just loaded with aisles and aisles of stuff. So much to take in!
The Scrap Exchange in Durham has it all, even the kitchen sink! (Yeah I know that was bad, but I couldn't resist!)
We also managed to pick up some frames and a couple of interesting prints.
We found a whole stack of these old promotional posters for the Raleigh Spy Conference from 2003. It made us laugh, so we bought one for 50 cents.
We also dug up this cute chipmunk print. The frame was in pretty bad condition and almost coming apart, but we still thought the print alone was worth the $6 price tag.
We feel so lucky to live in a place like Durham where shops like this can exist to promote the arts and community. Do you have place near you that has all sorts of great stuff? We would love to know about it!

Oct. 29, 2012
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State sophomore cornerback Bradley Roby was named today one of 15 semifinalists for the Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation's outstanding defensive back.
One of only two sophomores on the list of semifinalists and the only one from the Big Ten Conference, Roby leads the nation with 18 passes defended, a total that includes a nation's-best 16 pass break-ups and two interceptions.
The 9-0 Buckeyes, ranked sixth this week by the Associated Press, are coming off a 35-23 road victory over a fine Penn State team that had won five consecutive games. Roby had a personal-best four pass break-ups and five solo tackles in the game.
Roby has excelled all season for the Buckeyes as a big-play maker, particularly in Big Ten action.
He also fielded a fumbled punt in the end zone for a touchdown vs. Miami.
Roby's fine play vs. Penn State earned him "champion" recognition not only on the defensive side of the ball by the Ohio State coaches, but on special teams as well. Roby has earned a team-high eight "champion" honors this season for outstanding effort on the field.
Thorpe Award finalists will be named Monday, Nov. 19, and the winner will be announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show December 6 airing on ESPN.
Ohio State hosts the Illinois Fighting Illini in a 3:30 p.m. kickoff this Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Chef John Hines cooks with heart and soul
Chef and owner of Turquoise restaurant John Hines is as sweet and colorful in person as is his food and restaurant. Having learned cooking from his Momma in Tennessee and the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), Hines has a passion for all flavors of food and built his restaurant around giving everyone a little bit of everything. From surf to the turf, Turquoise delivers the flavors of India and Asia to the Southern Bayou.
"I started with eight pages and had to get it down to four," said Hines about creating his dream menu. Laughing he described his process, "It takes a special kind of crazy to do this and I'm that kind of crazy."
Having cooked from Albany, New York all the way to MM 0, Hines has learned a few tricks. Start the meal with seared jumbo scallops with Crown Royal Maple Bacon sauce or crawfish mac 'n' cheese with Andouille sausage. These are recipes that cannot be duplicated at home and fulfill every diner's savory desire.
The entree menu is as diverse as it is delicious. From award-winning baby back ribs with a spicy "cock" sauce to Duval Street Snapper with a scrumptious crawfish étouffée — which means to smother, and smothered it is — with vegetables and crawfish galore. Or try something different with Indochine shrimp and chicken that is simply a really good curry. Hines has crafted a menu with Ahi Tuna, mahi mahi, salmon to a bacon-wrapped meatloaf (with four meats) that rivals any made on the food channels.
But the winner, the one dish that foodies cannot leave without ordering is the beignets. Basically, Hines's beignets are why humans can taste food. The delicate fried batter is a flavor mixture between a donut and the ultimate French pastry. The light dough is surrounded by a crunchy shell dusted with chocolate and powered sugar. Tear the Bbeignet apart and dip it into the creme anglaise sauce, a sweet vanilla custard, and be prepared to never feel the same about pastry again.
Aptly naming the restaurant Turquoise after the water that surrounds the islands, Hines delivers plates that are just as appealing. Whatever you are in the mood for, Turquoise has a menu that can be returned to again and again.
Melissa Thompson, manager and girlfriend, describes Hines and his love for food and Key West, "He is extremely generous in the community, takes people food all the time, he just has a big heart."
Hines cooks with his heart and undoubtedly made his Momma proud.
Turquoise Restaurant
112 Fitzpatrick St., Key West
Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily

WEST GLACIER, MONT – Glacier National Park invites the public to review a summary of scoping comments received for a proposed Fisheries Management, Aquatics Restoration, and Climate Change Response Plan/draft Environmental Impact Statement. The summary has been posted to the National Park Service Planning, Environment, and Public Comment website at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/FishAquaticsPlanEIS.
The park conducted public scoping for the proposal from April 11 to May 11, 2016, and held scoping meetings in Great Falls and Kalispell, Montana. A scoping brochure describing the need for a plan, objectives, and proposed action was posted to the PEPC website and remains available at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/FishAquaticsPlanEIS.
The park received 16 comment letters expressing both supporting and opposing the proposal. In general, supportive comments expressed concern about long-term threats to aquatic ecosystems, and native fish. Opposing comments expressed concern primarily for negative effects to wilderness character and the use of a fish toxicant to remove non-native fish. A number of comments included suggestions and recommendations.
A draft plan/EIS is anticipated for public review by the end of 2017.

Specializing in Thai & Asian Contemporary Art
H Project Space is very pleased to announce a site-specific and kinetic installation by the Seattle-based artist Mark VonRosenstiel. Mark has been resident in Bangkok to further explore his interest in relationships between our perception and physical experience of time and place.
this time we feel, this time we see is a drawing machine which functions according to live video feeds from the street of H Gallery and CCTV footage of Bangkok. Visualizing the passage and sensation of time, the machine creates an analogy for our perception of the shifting conditions of our surroundings. Mark is interested in disparities between our micro and macro experience of time passing, and this time we see, this time we feel traces how we affect and are affected by the immediate and larger contexts of place and space.
Mark VonRosenstiel was born in Seattle, Washington, USA. He studied theoretical mathematics at Johns Hopkins University and fine art at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Mark's work spans painting, sculpture and installation. Most recently he has become interested in creating representations of internalized human experience and exploring the boundaries between observation and participation. Mark lectures on ideas of incompleteness, randomness, and scale invariance in relation to art practice and the potential to discover truths by creative means.

The Cardinal of the Kremlin is a novel by Tom Clancy, featuring his character Jack Ryan. It is a sequel to The Hunt for Red October, based on the development of the Strategic Defense Initiative and its Soviet equivalent, covering themes including intelligence gathering and counterintelligence, political intrigue, and guerrilla warfare in Afghanistan.
The book begins at a diplomatic conference in Moscow attended by Jack Ryan, a rising CIA analyst and part of the American delegation to the Soviet Union. It is revealed that the CIA's most highly-placed agent, codenamed CARDINAL, is none other than one Colonel Mikhail Semyonovich Filitov: the personal aide to the Soviet Minister of Defense and a national war hero. (This persona may have been based on Ryszard Kukliński, a Polish agent for the CIA, or on Dmitri Polyakov, a Russian CIA spy executed in 1988 following betrayal by Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames.) Filitov had won three Hero of the Soviet Union medals over the course of his career, most notably at the Battle of Stalingrad. He was recruited by GRU (Soviet Military Intelligence) Colonel Oleg Penkovskiy, a British agent; he offered his services to the CIA after his wife and two sons died. The two sons died as a result of service in the Red Army, the youngest in a training accident, and the eldest during the Hungarian Uprising. As a result, Filitov began passing political, technical, and military intelligence for the CIA; This operation continued for over thirty years until the start of the book.
The American military discovers through "National Technical Means" that the Soviets were working on a ABM defense system—an equivalent to the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative—based at Dushanbe in Tajikistan. Unbeknownst to most of the protagonists, the CIA has deployed a liaison, one Emilio Ortiz, to the region to aid the rebels. One Mujaheddin groups leader, a man known only as "The Archer," is questioned about a strange light he witnessed (after a Soviet test of their weapon, which devastated an obsolete satellite). The Archer, noting the fear that the Americans have of the light in their questions, determines that the installation is a threat to him and his people, and tasks his group with attacking and pillaging the installation. In the end, the guerrillas partially succeed, destroying a large amount of equipment, though most of the scientific staff survive, and the Afghans suffer horrendous losses, including the death of The Archer.
Eventually, Filitov's identity is uncovered by the KGB, and he is subsequently arrested while attempting communication with his control officer, Mary Pat Foley. However, Ryan concocts a plan to secure the return of both Filitov and arrange the defection of the sitting KGB Chairman, Nikolay Borissovich Gerasimov. Gerasimov was angling to take over as General Secretary in the aftermath of Filitov's arrest, something the CIA and Ryan were determined to avoid because of Gerasimov's unyielding Cold War views and anti-American ideology. Ryan schemed to go public with the defection and capture of Soviet submarine Red October, banking on the political instability of the Soviet Politburo. Filitov and Gerasimov are to be exfiltrated on the departing American delegation's aircraft, and Gerasimov's family is to be extracted from Estonia by John Clark onto the submarine Dallas. Gerasimov plotted a counter-move where a brilliant American researcher on "Star Wars" was abducted by Soviet agents in New Mexico, but quick law enforcement action allowed the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team to kill or wound the researcher's captors and retrieive him unharmed. Ryan let Gerasimov know this and Gerasimov, though enraged, recognized he was out of options and had to accept the defection offer.

Circuses respond to U.S. election 'circus' jibe
Circuses are calling for an end to the U.S. election campaign being compared to their line of business and the presidential contenders as clowns. Paul Chapman reports.
Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey are putting their own stamp on the U.S. presidential election campaign. They've put this video together demanding an end to descriptions of the campaign as a circus and the branding of its rival candidates as clowns. Professional clown Taylor Albin says it's humourous but carries a serious message. (SOUNDBITE)(English) RINGLING BROS AND BARNUM AND BAILEY PRESENTS CIRCUS XTREME, BOSS CLOWN, TAYLOR ALBIN, SAYING: "It's very tongue in cheek, it's very fun, but at the same time it's also serious because we are the real circus, the political campaign is not. The 2016 election is not." In the U.S. gambling capital, Las Vegas, the countdown is underway for the third and final presidential debate. Betting on presidential elections isn't legal in the U.S. but gamblers abroad can and not just on the outcome of the ballot. Ben Eckstein has a nationally-syndicated odds column. (SOUNDBITE)(English) BEN ECKSTEIN, LAS VEGAS ODDS MAKER, SAYING: "We have odds of 15-1 right now that Hillary will take a drug test before the debate, 15-1. You can get odds of 8-1 that Donald Trump will walk out during the debate if he gets a tough question. And how about 25-1 that he doesn't show up at all." An average of national opinion polls compiled by RealClear Politics suggests Hillary Clinton is ahead of Donald Trump by seven points.

Soma Smoothie in Black
Here's our first build photos of the Slick Black version of the Smoothie road race frame. It features American Classic Victory wheels, Vredestein Freccia 23c tires, Foss tubes, Selle San Marco Ponza saddle and Ritchey Carbon post. The carbon fork is our own (This is the first time we've decided to do matching carbon forks for the Smoothie - not a big deal for the black we know, but the Smoothie also comes in white). Matching lugged steel fork is also available. Rounding out the build is SRAM Apex and Yokozuna Reaction cables.

Review: Mother & Child (Sundance)
PLOT: The story of three women; one is a middle aged nurse (Annette Bening), who, as a teenager, got pregnant and had to give her child up for adoption. The child grows up to be a high priced, emotionally unstable lawyer (Naomi Watts), whoâs having an affair with her much older boss (Samuel L. Jackson). Their lives intersect with a young woman (Kerry Washington), who discovers that sheâs unable to have children, and begins to look at the possibility of adoption.
REVIEW: MOTHER & CHILD is yet another film I caught at TIFF this year, thatâs now making its way to Sundance. For me, one of the big shocks of TIFF was that this was not able to land a big distributor, as it features several high-power, potentially award-worthy performances from the high calibre cast, and three strong roles for women, in a year that was somewhat weak in that regard.
For Annette Bening especially, this is a tour de force. She plays a woman whoâs spent her whole life punishing herself for a brief lapse in judgement she had as a teenager, carrying on imaginary conversations with the daughter she gave up years ago. After her cruel mother dies, Bening finally begins to come out of her shell somewhat, with the help of a kindly physiotherapist (Jimmy Smits), with whom she starts a tentative romance. Iâd wager that if this film had come out this year, Bening would have generated a lot of buzz, as she probably hasnât been this good since AMERICAN BEAUTY. I particularly liked the way her icy exterior starts to melt away once she falls in love with the likable Smits- who, in between this, and his turn in season three of DEXTER, is also really starting to impress me as a character actor.
As for Naomi Watts, she also has a hell of a role, and possibly a more challenging one, as sheâs not always entirely sympathetic. Early in the film, she uses her sexuality to destroy a young couple, for no reason whatsoever, other than the fact that she can. To her, sex is like a sport- not to be used not as a means of intimacy, but to get what she wants- which also leads her to seduce her boss, played by Jackson.
Ah, Sam 'The Man ' , where do you find the time? I think I must have seen him in at least five movies last year, and, I gotta say, MOTHER & CHILD is the film he really brought his A-game to. All the Jackson clichés are absent here, and he NEVER hams it up, as he does in something like LAKEVIEW TERRACE. Despite it being a relatively small role, he hits all the right notes, and I liked the fact that in his relationship with Watts- she is the aggressor, and he is the passive, loving one, which is a nice change, as in other movies, she would be the naïve attorney suckered into the sack by the rich older boss. This film avoids that cliché.
The one person who will probably end up getting overlooked somewhat is Washington, who has a relatively bland role compared to the other actors. Her segment of the film feels a little too much like a JUNO retread for my tastes, and once her character becomes the focus, in the somewhat middling final thirty minutes, the film begins to fall apart somewhat, as it becomes just another, conventional family drama.
Of course, it's possible that the final act may have been reworked somewhat in the months since playing TIFF, and I hope that's the case, as the film deserves a stronger finish than it receives. Nonetheless, as it stands, MOTHER & CHILD is about ¾ of a great film. If you like good, stirring human drama, on the level of SIX FEET UNDER (the director, Rodrigo Garcia was one SIX FEET' go-to guys), or the late, great cable show, HUFF, this is for you.

Death Toll in Kabul Hotel Attack at Least 18
Afghan officials say at least 18 people, including 14 foreign nationals, were killed by gunmen during a standoff at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.
The Afghan Ministry of Interior said the other four victims were Afghans and that special forces killed four attackers.
Witnesses say the attackers got into the hotel through a kitchen and were shooting at guests.
The attack comes after the U.S. State Department issued a security alert for hotels in Kabul.
The Interior Ministry said the attacks were affiliated with the Pakistan-based Haqqani network.
The Taliban said in a statement it claimed responsibility.

Sivir, the Battle Mistress
carry, pusher, ranged, recommended
"Time and time again, Sivir proves that she has earned the right to call herself 'The Battle Mistress'."The beautiful and deadly champion known as Sivir has been a favorite of League summoners for close to a decade. A soldier-for-hire outside of the Fields of Justice, she is the embodiment of a highly successful mercenary on modern day Runeterra. Sivir has little interest in the cribbage sheets - as she calls them - of League influence bartering. Instead, she is motivated by material wealth and riches, and she is paid handsomely for her services. Sivir is one of the wealthiest individuals found anywhere on Valoran. Sivir owns multiple residences in a number of different city-states, as well as ownership stakes in a number of businesses all across Valoran. Her detractors, either envious of her success or acrimonious of her flexible morality, have begun to use Sivir as a symbol of what is wrong with the mercenary nature of the League. Sivir dismisses her critics, saying that while her personal code of ethics is less ruthless than her competitors, Everyone has a price.
- Jax
Sivir has earned many titles and accolades throughout her illustrious career, but the one she held until recently was Battle Mistress of Noxus. Now she is simply known as The Battle Mistress after breaking her contract with the Noxian High Command. Sivir dared to object to the Noxian war against the peaceful island state of Ionia, though less about the morality of the issue than the planning behind it; her predictions of a bloody stalemate came true when the Ionians held off the relentless assaults of the Noxians. Claiming that the Noxian High Command had lost its direction, she left Noxus and made her services available to the Institute of War. The Noxian High Command has sent a number of contracted assassins to deal with its rogue mercenary, but none have delivered her or survived.

As you should all know by now (see 'here' and 'here'), the Streetlamp team are avid cyclists. You also can't have failed to notice that we also like a chance to get up on our soapbox and support a worthy cause too. Happily, the cause I want to write about tonight allows me to bring both of these Streetlamp interests together in a rather neat way.
Pedal on Parliament, is a grass roots campaign of cyclists forming a cross-section of Scottish cycling: commuters, road racers and club members, mountain bikers, long-distance tourers, Dutch-bike riding city cyclists, urban single speeders, tweed-wearing rural cyclists, plus those who just like getting from A to B quickly. The purpose of the campaign is to make it safer and easier for everyone to ride a bike – whatever bike they ride.
To this end, Pedal on Parliament has released an eight-point manifesto (see below) that aims to make Scotland a cycle friendly nation. They are now calling on all Scotland's politicians, of all parties, to sign up to it, in order to make cycling a realistic choice for everyone, from eight to eighty – and show the rest of the UK that cycling doesn't just belong on continental Europe, but in the country where it all began:
1) Proper funding for cycling.
2) Design cycling into Scotland's roads.
3) Safer speeds where people live, work and play
4) Integrate cycling into local transport strategies
5) Sensible road traffic law and enforcement
6) Reduce the risk of HGVs to cyclists and pedestrians
7) A strategic and joined-up programme of road user training
8) Solid research on cycling to support policy-making
2) Design cycling into Scotland's roads.
3) Safer speeds where people live, work and play
4) Integrate cycling into local transport strategies
5) Sensible road traffic law and enforcement
6) Reduce the risk of HGVs to cyclists and pedestrians
7) A strategic and joined-up programme of road user training
8) Solid research on cycling to support policy-making
The campaign is supported by local Glasgow cycling legend Magnatom, whom we have written about previously on the Streetlamp (see 'here'), and in an attempt to raise the profile of the campaign he wrote to Annabel Goldie the Conservative (boo! hiss!) MSP for the West of Scotland. In typical Tory fashion she replied with a load of meaningless political flannel before launching the following unexpected attack on cyclists:
"However, cyclists have obligations. Some cyclists ignore red lights, thereby endangering themselves and others; others do not use proper lighting on their bikes either at night or when visibility is poor; and others still neglect to wear helmets. That is not the responsibility of Government or motorists; it is up to the cyclists to behave responsibly and to undertake the appropriate training."
Yep, you can always rely on the Tories to turn around a positive campaign for cycling in Scotland into a chance to launch an unprovoked attack on us. Truly, they have no shame. You can read the complete exchange of correspondence on Magnatom's site 'here'.
Recently, I was cycling in a favourite spot of mine, where the Streetlamp team often go hill-walking, in a quiet corner of rural Stirlingshire when I happened across the following sobering and sombre shrine to a fellow cyclist who'd been involved in an accident:
This simple gesture, made by an unknown person, of placing these items at the lonely spot really brought it home to me how vulnerable we are, even when out on the sort of quiet back-roads that should be heaven for cyclists. It seems obvious to me, that with cars getting bigger and faster we MUST change drivers' mindset on cyclists. We have every right to use roads safely just as much as drivers do.
If you agree with this sentiment, then you can play your part by getting involved with the Pedal on Parliament campaign; it doesn't have to be very much, at the very least you could take a few seconds to sign their online petition 'here'.
Now for a wee bit of bike-related music to lighten the mood. Here's the sweeping, indie-surf epic Late Night Bikes by Kansas City-based band Capybara.
Great song, I think. It can be downloaded as a free MP3 'here'. Drummer Mark Harrison says of the song:
"I think deep down everybody has a sense of nostalgia. In 'Late Night Bikes,' it's the simple pleasure of riding bikes at night that we wanted to share, whether you're on your way to meet up with friends or running to the store to pick up milk for the cereal that you're eating alone in your apartment."
He makes late night bike riding sound very romantic, doesn't he? Now, let's all work together to make it safe too.

Nokia's Twitter account announced today that the company will host an "Innovation Reinvented" event on October 22nd, where we will likely officially see the rumored 6-inch Lumia 1520 for the first time. According to WPCentral, Nokia was previously expected to unveil the oversized Windows Phone device in late September, but that event was cancelled before a public announcement was ever made.
At Nokia, we never stop innovating. More to share on October 22 #Nokia #innovationreinvented pic.twitter.com/nlptrXE6jp
— Nokia (@nokia) September 17, 2013
Along with the Lumia 1520, Nokia is may also reveal a 10.1-inch Windows RT tablet that reportedly bears the codename "Sirius." The tablet is said to use a 1920 x 1080 resolution IPS display, a quad-core Qualcomm 8974 ARM processor, and a 6.7-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics.
The tweet doesn't share much beyond a date, but the image may hint at an event location outside of typical cities like San Francisco, New York, or London.

NHL average attendance - additional information
The average attendance at regular seasons NHL games has remained consistently around 17,000 since 2008, with the average for the 2013/14 recorded as 17,587. On the back of their Presidents' Trophy and Stanley Cup wins in the 2012/13 season, the Chicago Blackhawks recorded the highest average home attendance in the league during the 2013/14 season, with an average of 22,623 fans watching each home game.
A total of 21.63 million people watched NHL games live during the 2013/14 season, with each team welcoming an average of 721,000 people to their home games across the whole season. The average is significantly higher than the figure from the 2012/13, which stood at 425,000. This figure can be attributed to the NHL lockout which cut the total games for the season from 82 to 48, meaning that each team only played a total of 24 home games, as opposed to the customary 41 games.
The NHL lockout, the first of its kind since the 2004 lockout which forced the whole NHL season to be cancelled, was a labor dispute that began in September 2012 and did not end until a tentative agreement was reached in January 2013. The lockout was announced after a new agreement could not be reached before the expiry of the NHL collective bargaining agreement on September 16, 2012.
The lockout was caused by key disagreements between owners and players on issues such as players' shares of revenues, the length of players' contracts, and the rules on free agency. When the season belatedly started on January 19, 2013, the Chicago Blackhawks set an NHL record of 24 consecutive games without a regulation loss.

text: Beauty The different signs of aging can often take us by surprise. One fine day, we might see these small but tell tale signs beginning to show on our skin, hair, and body. The ones on the skin are the most profound. Women in their thirties or forties are often on the lookout of easy and affordable solutions to treat the same. Some women start using the best anti aging cream from a reputed brand to deal with the problem. There are others who bring about changes in their diets and lifestyles to offset these issues. For many women, the process of aging usually starts with their hair turning gray and be.ing brittle. For some, these might be an increase in cellulite in places that cannot be covered. In still others, these signs might manifest as wrinkles, age spots, and discolorations on their faces, necks, and chests. The skin in these areas is the thinnest and most sensitive. These are also the areas that are most exposed to the environmental damage during the course of a person's life. Over the years, this exposure can lead to the skin in these places be.ing all wrinkled, dry, and haggard. The most effective way to stop the signs of aging manifesting on the skin would be to prevent the damage at the outset. A healthy lifestyle, adequate sleep, a proper exercise regimen, and stress management techniques can go a long way in making people look younger than their age. One can .plement these efforts by using the best anti aging cream on the market. Men and women wanting to look young would also need to protect themselves from the harmful rays of the sun. Most doctors re.mend the use of a sun block with an SPF of atleast 15, every day, throughout the year, to prevent photo aging. Many anti wrinkle products .e with built-in SPF that makes the work much simpler. A healthy diet is also a very important part of staying young. Be sure to eat adequate portions of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, if you want a glowing and radiant skin. Avocado and flax seed oil containing healthy fats that enrich the skin would also need to feature in your daily diet. Follow an anti-aging skin care regimen, to prevent the signs of aging on your skin. Look for products that can serve more than one purpose or have been formulated to work together. A wrinkle reducer cream would ideally also serve as a moisturizer and toner. The best products would be those that contain antioxidants that can safeguard the skin from free radicals and prevent the onset of wrinkles, age spots, and blemishes. Give up smoking, to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Even heavy smokers would notice an improvement in the texture and tone of their skin after they have quit smoking. Take special care of the sensitive skin underneath your eyes, to prevent fine lines from developing in these areas. Certain eye creams containing vitamin C are effective in decreasing these lines. These under eye creams are specially formulated to reduce pigmentation in and around the eyes and increase the production of collagen. Search online to know where to find the best anti aging cream to firm the sensitive skin in these areas. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Hudson Ready For Indoor
By: Kevin Milsted
Keith Hudson was looking for something to do last spring. He didn't want to get a job. He knew he was pretty athletic and thought that maybe he would go out for the Northwood track & field team and see if he was good enough to attract the attention of a college coach.
"I didn't expect this football season to bring me exposure to a lot of colleges. I thought track was going to be the [sport] to do that."
A college scholarship seemed farfetched when he first attempted to run the hurdles.
"I could not even hurdle at the beginning of the season. I used to jump the hurdles."
He knew right away that he didn't have the raw speed to run the short sprints. He chose to focus on the 300-meter hurdles, along with the 400 and an occasional 800 because those events allowed him time to build up to top speed and be more competitive.
As the season progressed, so did his technique. His times in the 300-meter hurdles rapidly dropped each week. He went from running 43 seconds in the first week of April to 40.5 seconds in the third week of April.
In the final week of April, he found himself matched up against Richard Montgomery's Tyler Jackson, who at that time was the dominant hurdler in Montgomery County. It was a low-key tri meet. Jackson did not expect to have any challengers but found that he had to give everything he had to stay ahead of Hudson. Both runners were clocked in under 40 seconds.
"Who was that guy from Northwood?" Jackson asked.
It's a question that has been asked of Hudson a lot this year. Whether it was when he won the county and region 300-meter hurdle titles, or when he helped his 4x800 relay run 8:12, or when he was catching touchdown passes this past football season, it seems that everyone is always surprised when Northwood has a standout athlete.
Hudson experienced success from the 4x200 up to the 4x800 and every hurdle race in between, but as successful as his junior campaign on the track was, he still came up short of the ultimate goal. He was leading the field in the 300-meter hurdle race at the state championship when he hit a hurdle and lost ground on his opponents. He finished a disappointing 7th.
Though the memory of his final hurdle race stuck with him throughout the track & field offseason, he has been excelling in his other sport, football. Last year he played a role on the Northwood football team's defense. This year he moved to offense and became the most productive wide receiver in the state. He racked up 1,216 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season.
"I became the top wide receiver in Moco and in the State of Maryland… another shocker to people that didn't know who I was."
After a long wait, Hudson is finally back on the track, ready to run indoor track for the first time. He plans to continue surprising the skeptics until people have no choice but to take notice.
"I started to do indoor track this season to stay in shape and make it back to states and win a gold medal because I lost last year," says Hudson. He adds, "During indoor I will be focusing on 55-meter hurdles, the 500, and the 300…I would like to be a state champ for 3 events during indoor season and also surprise many other people that still don't know who I am."
Along with his individual success comes the responsibility of leading a rebuilding team. Northwood loses Giovanni Reumante and Derrick Powell who combined for three state titles at last year's indoor state championship meet. Reumante describes Hudson as the energetic teammate who gets hyped up when everyone else on the team is quiet and nervous.
Hudson says, "If I sit down, I'm going to be out of the race and not focused."
"To be a good leader…you have to always have good sportsmanship no matter what. Give good advice to others that need it. Don't disrespect other teammates because they lost."
Athletics and good sportsmanship runs in his family. His mother used to run track and play basketball in high school. His younger sister, Le'Quisha Parker, is also a bit of a track star herself, but that is another story for another day.
Off the track, Hudson is described as very laid back. He says that he likes watching football, and hanging out with friends and family in his free time.

I wonder if the guy talking about football is the same guy that came 2 and 3rd behind Keith? It appears that there are alot of jealous people on the website. Give the boy credit he is a star athelete. From what I see it runs in his family, his sister is #1 in the state for the 200 meter and 2nd in the 100 meter all not using blocks. She is featured in the logo of this website.

For parental care, locals seek his release on humanitarian grounds
For parental care, locals seek his release on humanitarian grounds
Five months after his wife was killed in "cross firing", Ishfaq Ahmad Wani, a resident of Chowgal Handwara, has been arrested by police on charges of stone pelting, leaving her one-year-old daughter completely without parental care.
Sources said police on Monday arrested Wani from Younsu area of Handwara in north Kashmir's Kupwara district.
Wani's wife Misra Bano died during an encounter on December 11, 2017, that also left three militants dead at Younso village.
Wani was summoned by police post-Chowgal where he was later put behind the bars.
A police officer when contacted told GNS that Wani was held after proper evidence about his involvement in stone pelting in the area.
"We have procured a video footage wherein Ishfaq is seen leading the stone-throwing youth," he said.
The residents of the area have expressed serious concern about the detention of Ishfaq saying his infant child and old aged parents are now left with nobody who will take care of them.
"The minor girl lost her mother; now she is staying with the absence of her father. Her grandparents are very old. This is heart-wrenching," one of the senior citizens of the village said.
The residents have demanded the immediate release of Ishfaq on humanitarian grounds.
"Let his (Ishfaq's) parents come and he would be released after proper counselling," the police officer told GNS.

Under the direction of industry veteran Ed Morrow GLLK's VP of Mining Exploration, the Company plans to be on the property presently to ascertain the areas and targets to commence its aggressive drilling program.
The Big Monty lies within the prolific Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone "PDFZ" (110 Million ounces of Au produced to date and adjacent to the North and Northwest borders by St. Andrews Goldfield's Holt Property (SAS: TSXV) which has 2.8 Million Ounces of measured and indicated resources and 1.1 Million Ounces of inferred resources as of December 31, 2013.
GLLK management intends to prove that the Holt property gold system continues onto its claims.
The 2,846 acre Big Monty was acquired by GLLK in a deal with Flex Mining Ltd. A November 2012 Airborne Survey noted a variety of features characteristic of gold bearing fields within the seven claims making up the property.
Initially, the Company plans to do extensive groundwork and rock sampling, once the current geological report is interpreted, Eventually, an NI-43-101 report will be commissioned to delineate the indicated and reserve figures.
The Company fully intends to explore financing and JV opportunities with potential partners within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Gold Lakes plans to conduct extensive geophysical work and a minimum 2000 metre drill program once financing is secured. The Porcupine-Destor fault system is believed to run generally East-West through the Big Monty property with numerous North East-South West cross faults providing several possible intersecting structural features which could possibly host economic mineralization.
The Abitibi Greenstone Belt area is also noteworthy for impressive grades:
• Bonterra Resources north of Val D'or Quebec, Gladiator Project in a recent announcement generated a high-grade intersection of 137.4 g/t over 2.5 m with coarse visible gold having been observed in the core.
• Oban Mining Corporation in a recent announcement genereated 41.8 g/t Au Over 2.5 Metres at Windfall Lake gold project located in Urban Barry Township, Québec.
• The Hislop mine reported 5.2 g/t of gold in ore. Hislop mine located in the prolific Timmins gold mining district, which lies within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
• Macassa gold operations owned by Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., is part of one of Canada's oldest and richest systems. The Kirkland Lake Main Break system boasts production of 24 million troy ounces of gold over a span of 86 years and average historic grade of 16.5 g/t.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — OneShield today announced that Celent, LLC, a leading research and advisory firm focused on insurance technology strategy, has included OneShield's client, Darwin Professional Underwriters, in the Celent Model Carrier 2008: Case Studies in Effective Use of Technology in Insurance. Darwin was named in the report as a "Model Carrier Component" in property and casualty.
Bob Asensio, CIO of Darwin, will be presenting Darwin's business case study at the first annual OneShield Users Group Conference to be held in April.
In the report, Celent states that Darwin's (i-bind) system streamlines "the processing of specialty liability policies from application submission to policy issuance with a web front end, an integrated underwriting system, and an automated policy issue system." The (i-bind) system was put into place in 2005 using the OneShield(R) Dragon policy administration suite and deployed in an Oracle/WebSphere/Linux environment.
Since deploying (i-bind), the results have been extremely impressive. Darwin's bind to quote ratio has improved by 10%. Meanwhile, the declination ratio has plummeted to less than 5%. Perhaps the greatest achievement is the fact that the total time from submission entry to policy issuance has gone from 30 days to 10 minutes. That type of efficiency is what makes Darwin Professional Underwriters a "Model Carrier Component."
"We want to congratulate Bob and his team for winning this award. Darwin has been a leader in their market as well as in demonstrating the extensibility of the Dragon system by leveraging the power of our tools to change they way they do business with their agent partners for a radically different customer experience. Ultimately they have a focus on making it easier for their agents; and we are happy to be their partners," said Glenn Anschutz Chief Executive Officer of OneShield, Inc.
About the Celent Report
The Celent Model Carrier 2008: Case Studies in Effective Use of Technology in Insurance report which was presented at Celent's inaugural Model Carrier Summit in New York on January 16, 2007, contained case studies of 40 technology initiatives and practices across most functional areas of insurance. "Model Carrier Components" are presented as components of a composite insurer's insurance IT systems and practices that help insurers improve performance, meet market demand, and operate efficiently. Nominations were solicited from over 100 insurers in the US and internationally with the Model Carrier Components selected by Celent's team of insurance analysts.

The John B. Waller Jr., Dr.P.H., and Menthele (Mikki) Waller Endowed Scholarship for M.P.H. Students was recently awarded to Lisa Lukose and Henri Avril, Master of Public Health students in the Wayne State University Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences.
Avril and Lukose were chosen on the basis of their scholastic achievement and public health engagement, and were recognized during a Dec. 16, 2016, celebration. Each received a scholarship award of $1,500 for M.P.H. course credit.
"As educators and mentors, the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences is honored to serve our greater Detroit communities, and to promote public health scholarship," said Tsveti Markova, M.D., F.A.A.F.P., professor and chair of the department. "We are proud of Lisa and Henri, and look forward to their futures in public health."
Mrs. Mikki Waller was the honored guest. "Many of our public health friends knew our Dr. John B. Waller, Jr. as 'Dr. J.' They respected him not only as a researcher in population-based epidemiology, but as a public health leader and practitioner who served as Public Health director for the city of Detroit," she said. "His heart was in community health, which makes the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences a great home for the Waller Endowed Scholarship. We look forward to generations of students who share Dr. J's vision and compassion for public health."
Dr. Waller served as chair of the Department of Community Medicine and had tremendous influence in shaping public health policy and the establishment of community health systems in Detroit. He was recognized nationally for his leadership. In a 2006 Michigan Journal of Public Health tribute to Dr. Waller, David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., 16th United States surgeon general, an esteemed colleague of Dr. Waller, wrote, "Dr. Waller will always be appreciated for his ability and commitment to put a community face on public health. Hopefully, public health will always reflect this 'community face.'"
WSU School of Medicine celebration speakers included Dr. Markova; Kimberly Campbell-Voytal, Ph.D., M.S.N., R.N., director of the M.P.H. program; and Herbert Smitherman, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P., vice dean of Diversity and Community Affairs. Anita Moncrease, M.D., M.P.H., presented "WSUSOM Public and Community Health Historical Highlights."
Dr. Waller established the Master of Public Health program in the WSU School of Medicine. Before 2016, the first year of the Waller Endowed Scholarship, the Waller family and the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences provided an annual John B. Waller Student Achievement Award.
As the M.P.H. program continues to grow, Dr. Markova noted, "We appreciate the generosity of the Waller family and their contribution to the advancement of the values of Detroit urban health."
To learn more about how you can help to advance Dr. Waller's legacy and support M.P.H. students in conducting leading-edge public health research and practice in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences, contact Patty Paquin at email@example.com or 313-577-0026.

After missing a shot at the title for the second year in a row in the Keytesville Invitational Tournament over the weekend, Prairie Home senior Shianne Rhorer wasn't about to let the Fayette Lady Falcons ruin her show on Monday.
While averaging 23.1 ppg along with 12.8 rpg this season, which was good enough to lead both categories in the Boonville Daily News Prep Honor, the senior standout backed it up again on Monday with 34 points and eight rebounds to lead the Lady Panthers past Fayette 60-27.
But that's not all. Rhorer also finished the game with a team-leading eight steals and four assists for Prairie Home, who improved to 14-6 on the season.
Prairie Home coach Dalton Armontrout said this was probably one of the best first halves the girls have played all season.
"We did a lot of good things," Armontrout said. "However, we need to be better at boxing out. There was quite a few times where we just simply waited for the ball to come to us. In the second half I thought we got a little complacent and didn't do the things we needed to do to keep our lead."
If Armontrout was worried about giving up the lead, he didn't have to worry very long. After surrendering the first basket of the ballgame, the Lady Panthers never trailed after that while leading 20-8 after first period's end. Prairie Home also finished the final two minutes and 28 seconds on a 12-0 run with Rhorer scoring nine of the team's 20 points.
Of course it all started on the defensive end for Prairie Home, which forced 18 turnovers alone in the first half.
However it got worse before it got better for Fayette in the second quarter. Although the Lady Falcons outscored Prairie Home 4-2 for the first-two minutes, they were no match for the rest of the half as the Lady Panthers came back and reeled off 17 unanswered points to extend the lead at the half to 39-11.
The Lady Panthers also blew their shooting average for the season out of the water in the first half by hitting 17 of 25 shotsfor 68 percent with six different players in the scoring column.
But like all good things, they must come to an end. Such was the case in the third quarter as Fayette outscored Prairie Home 14-11 while reeling off nine straight points during a three-minute stretch.
The Lady Panthers still led Fayette by 25 (50-25) at the end of the third quarter and would push the lead to 30 at the 6:11 mark in the fourth on a basket by Rhorer to make it 56-25.
Prairie Home also outscored Fayette 10-2 in the fourth to win by 33.
Rachel Distler finished the game with 13 points, nine rebounds and three steals for Prairie Home. Kristen Peterson added six points, three steals, two rebounds and two assists while Kurstin Leonard had four points, two steals, one rebound and one assist, Elizabeth Fairchild two points and Ashlyn Twenter with one point, three assists, two rebounds and one steal.
Prairie Home also finished the game shooting 79 percent from the field and 57 percent from the foul line.
For Fayette, Grace Boulden had 14 points.
Rhorer scorches the nets with 34 points in 60-27 win over Fayette
After missing a shot at the title for the second year in a row in the Keytesville Invitational Tournament over the weekend, Prairie Home senior Shianne Rhorer wasn't about to let the Fayette Lady Falcons ruin her show on Monday.

My passion for yoga started in 2004 when I noticed improved health after attending yoga classes. This led me to complete a 200-hour training in 2014 with Robin Buck at Jane's House of Well-Being in St. Charles. Here, I was trained in the Dynamic Yoga Method derived from Godfrey Devereux. This method uses Hatha yoga combined with intelligent sequencing of movement to enhance the yoga practice. My enthusiasm for movement also inspired me to obtain a Certificate in Somatic Studies from Washington University in St. Louis. With experience teaching a basic yoga practice, I will focus on physical postures, breath work, and relaxation gained from the practice.
Services Provided
I believe in the healing power of yoga through improved body alignment which helps with neck and joint pain, as well as fatigue. I believe yoga is for everyone, any body type, and any age. My classes will have an emphasis on mind and body unity as experienced within and mindfulness. My goal is to deepen my understanding of how the body functions and how a good practice can bring the body back to a state of balance and well being. Outside of yoga I like to stay active hiking and enjoying nature, reading and research, and enjoying friends and family.

Preparing an inventory of all your assets you want to cover with replacement prices is among the first things you should do when contemplating insurance cover, prior to looking for the ideal insurance company and insurance quotations. Short term vehicle and house insurance is the best option that can be purchased, covering every one of your most important assets in the event of unanticipated accidents.
Obtaining insurance estimates from different providers also gives you the chance to evaluate the premiums and determine what one suits your wallet best. One has to be realistic when looking for quotations as it is preferable to try to find the cheapest, most comprehensive cover rather than just looking for the least expensive premium. The insurance policy you select must protect all of your current possessions. Don't take risk leaving some of your belongings off of the inventory list as this may be the item that could get taken first in a theft. For more information on insurance products, go to http://www.ppshomeandcarinsurance.co.za.
When looking for estimates you should also consider the kind of coverage you're looking for, and ensure that the provider you choose offers that exact coverage for the cheapest possible premium. Insurance providers typically offer 3 types of protection, and these include; Complete cover, which incorporates collision, fire, thievery and liability insurance. This type of cover is more costly than the other two coverage schemes. With the 2nd kind of protection you will get liability, theft and fire cover and will not protect your vehicle in case there is an accident, the lowest level of insurance that will cover third party legal responsibility only.The lowest level protection is only a good idea if your car doesn't have a high reselling value and is paid off.
Car insurance is fast becoming compulsory in a great many countries all over the world. In these countries, if you do not drive around with good insurance cover for your automobile you will be liable to a fine. This is regrettably a costly thing for many people so to make sure you get the very best rate out there you have to compare quotes. Even though insurance might not be compulsory in your country it is certainly essential, especially if your car has been financed. Should your vehicle be involved in an accident and is a write-off while you are not insured, not only do you lose your automobile but you're stuck with the task of paying off a vehicle you do not own and that is a great deal more costly than paying extra per month on an insurance premium.
Due to the fact that accidents can occur with the high crime rate in Southern Africa, one has to ensure that you are making provision for these unanticipated occurrences. You've already taken the initial step towards ensuring that you don't have to endure worry if these things should happen by searching for insurance quotes. Make sure you execute a thorough search and comparison of quotes to make sure you are paying the very best rate for the coverage that you're seeking. Be safe and enjoy peace of mind, get protection for your property right now.

The importance of a technical translation being accurate and efficient can indeed not be overstated. Especially in the ever faster moving world of globalized business, successful information and technology transfer within multinational businesses can make the difference between win or lose.ReplyDelete
Especially with medical translation, where peoples' health is at stake, you shouldn't be relying on something that could just leave you stranded at a critical moment.

The original British release version had several seconds cut from the murder of Consuela Baxter
The original British theatrical release had about 5 minutes cut by the BBFC. The major cuts were the killing of various members of the Baxter gang when they emerge from the burning building and the scene in which Eastwood is beaten-up by the Rojos (which was trimmed by nearly a half). The widescreen DVD release is uncut and the same as the USA DVD release.
When the film first aired on American TV, a network executive ordered the creation of a new prologue to give a moral justification for the lead character's killings: a prison warden commutes "the Man With No Name's" sentence if he goes to San Miguel and restores order to the town. Neither Eastwood or Leone participated in this new sequence (the Man With No Name is seen only from the rear), and this distortion of Leone's creative vision has reportedly been dropped from subsequent presentations.
