Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. The Chinese have mapped these points over 2,500 years and recently electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations.
Modern Science explains the functions of acupuncture in the following way. Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals (i.e. - endorphins) in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain or they will trigger the other chemicals and hormones which influence the bodies own internal regulating system to heal itself.
Microcurrent Therapy is a form of electro acupuncture. It uses currents graduated in the millionth of an amp range, whereas most electronic devices (i.e. TENS units) use currents in the thousands of an amp range. The microcurrent is a more gentle way of treating, does not put the muscles into spasm, and is far more effective.
The weaker stimuli increases physiologic activity, whereas the stronger stimuli inhibit or abolish activity. These subtle electrical discharges can relieve pain and promote homeostasis by balancing the positive and negative ionic currents in the body. This treatment can be done with or without needles, for those patients who want pain relief, but are needle phobic. Best of all, when using microcurrents, the patient does not feel a thing.
Electric Stimulation: Electricity has been used to treat pain for over 100 years. Electrical stimulation may directly block transmission of pain signals along nerves. In addition, electrical stimulation has been shown to promote the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body.
Cupping Therapy: Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. In a typical cupping session, glass cups are warmed using a cotton ball or other flammable substance, which is soaked in alcohol, let, then placed inside the cup. Burning a substance inside the cup removes all the oxygen, which creates a vacuum. The cup is then turned upside down and onto the skin. The vacuum created pulls the skin upward on the inside of the glass as the air inside the jar cools. Drawing up the skin is believed to open up the skin's pores, which helps to stimulate the flow of blood, balances and realigns the flow of qi, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body.
Moving cupping is the method of choice in this office. First massage oil is place on the affected area, usually the neck, shoulders and back. Once the cup is on the skin, it is moved around. In essence, it is like a reverse massage to melt away muscle pain and tension. Antonio feel's it is the ultimate form of myofascial release.
Massage: When dealing with pain related issues, Antonio feels it is important to end the treatment with massage to the affected areas. Antonio likes to combine traditional Swedish or Deep tissue massage with Tui Na (Chinese style massage) and Manual therapy and stretching.
Alpha Stim: The Alpha-Stim AID treats anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with tiny electrical currents similar to those found naturally in the body, using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). Placing clips on the ears, the microcurrent waveform activates nerve cells near the brain stem to release serotonin.

What is the tallest structure that can be built on the Moon? Can it be used as a landing pad?
Earth provides many obstacles to building large structures. Earthquakes and strong winds are just two of them.
As far as I know there are no quakes on the Moon nor are there any winds.
Ignoring meteor strikes, what is the tallest man made structure that could be built on the moon? Could it be taller than any of the mountains? Could it reach out far enough to form a landing pad for orbiting space-craft?
(a) The structure is not a simple pyramid made of moon rock. It must be much taller than its base is wide - similar to tall buildings on Earth.
(b) There are sufficient building materials and these can be anything that is found on the Earth or the Moon.
(c) The building can perch on top of an existing mountain if that helps.
(d) Firm enough rock foundations can be found to prevent toppling. However there is no Unobtanium to ensure the strength or rigidity of the structure itself.
(e) Ideally the structure is so tall that its top is effectively orbiting the Moon in the direction of the Moon's spin. In this way it can act as a landing pad for spacecraft.
(f) Possibly it is even taller than in (e). This way the top of the building is being flung away from the Moon and so exerting tension on the building to allow its top to extend beyond orbital height. The landing pad would be lower. A lift would allow relaunch without power from the craft.
(g) There is some unspecified but effective way of protecting against meteor strikes.
(h) Just to be clear. This is a building with foundations on bedrock (as stated above). Thus I want the structure to be built from the ground up and therefore stable at every intermediate stage of its construction. There should be no rocketry or dangling sky-hooks during the building process.

$\begingroup$ So basically a space elevator on the moon? $\endgroup$ – Trioxidane Jul 23 '20 at 12:39
$\begingroup$ @Trioxidane - Yes, but only If it can feasibly be that tall. Otherwise simply the tallest plausible skyscraper. I have added the requirement that no Unobtanium is available so real building materials must be used. $\endgroup$ – chasly - supports Monica Jul 23 '20 at 12:44
$\begingroup$ you can build a space elevator on the moon using existing materials, Kevlar or Spectra fibers are strong enough. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_space_elevator $\endgroup$ – John Jul 23 '20 at 13:58
For (e) any rigid tower would I guess by definition be orbiting the moon above a set point. But not because it is in a geostationary orbit. It doesn't look like the moon really has geostationary orbits due to the influence of the Earth's gravity.
https://www.quora.com/Does-the-Moon-have-a-geostationary-orbit-If-so-what-is-its-altitude
For (f) you are basically talking about a space elevator. Based on information from Wikipedia: The elevator's "top" would have to be at one of the Earth Moon Lagrange points with a counter weight further out. The "highest" (furthest from the surface) is L2 iwhich is 62,851 km +/- 3,539 km from the center of the Moon's far side, then add on your cable for the counterweight.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_space_elevator
I hope this is high enough for you.
Edit: To address concerns about feasibility and need (or not) of unobtainium, wiki suggests this is possible with current materials and technology "since the Moon's surface gravity is much lower than the Earth's, the engineering requirements for constructing a lunar elevator system can be met using materials and technology already available. "
Wiggo the WookieWiggo the Wookie
$\begingroup$ Thanks. I am and always have been very skeptical about the "long cable space elevator". I just can't credit that the cable could be strong enough or that maintenance would be feasible. That's why I want to build upward by conventional means. This ensures a stable configuration throughout the building process. If I can't get high enough to provide a landing pad then so be it. I just want to know how high is reasonable. $\endgroup$ – chasly - supports Monica Jul 23 '20 at 12:55

Governor Holcomb Advances European Ties, Promotes Aviation Industry in France
Shane Ray June 21, 2017 State News Leave a comment 239 Views
PARIS (June 21, 2017) – Governor Eric J. Holcomb concluded his first international economic development trade mission today after visiting France to strengthen Indiana's global business ties and advance the state's aviation, aerospace and defense industries.
This week, the Governor and Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger led a delegation of Hoosier business leaders, government officials and economic development professionals to the 2017 International Paris Air Show, which is the largest aerospace event in the world. Indiana is home to more than 80 aerospace firms, and the aviation and defense industries employ approximately 57,000 Hoosiers.
"Indiana was front and center at the Paris Air Show this year," said Governor Holcomb. "As a top state for aerospace manufacturing, this was a great opportunity to showcase our pro-growth business climate to a global audience of industry and government leaders. I've said I want to take Indiana to the world and bring the world to Indiana, and the meetings and connections made here at the air show are helping us to do just that."
Governor Holcomb and members of the delegation met with leading executives of global firms in the industry, including companies interested in locating operations in Indiana as well as those with existing Indiana connections, such as:
AAR Corporation, a global aftermarket solutions firm that employs more than 5,000 people in over 20 countries. The company's full-service facility at the Indianapolis International Airport provides services such as maintenance, repair and flight control to major airliners.
Arconic, which was formerly part of Alcoa, has Indiana operations in La Porte, which produces castings for aerospace and gas turbine engines, and Lafayette, which manufactures aerospace components and other products. In 2014, the company announced plans to construct a $100 million, 320,000-square-foot facility in La Porte to produce nickel-based superalloy jet engine parts, creating up to 329 new jobs by 2019.
Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company and manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defense, space and security systems, which operates a hangar at the Gary/Chicago International Airport, supporting an estimated 12,000 direct and indirect jobs in Indiana.
GE Aviation, a subsidiary of General Electric, which opened a new, $100 million jet engine facility in Lafayette in 2015 to assemble the new LEAP engine from CFM International – a 50/50 joint company of GE and Safran.
Raytheon, a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, civil government and cybersecurity solutions, which employs more than 1,500 Hoosiers across two locations in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.
Rolls-Royce, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom and has been operating in Indiana for more than 100 years. On Monday, the company, along with the state and Purdue University, announced a new, $24 million partnership to establish the nation's most advanced turbine lab for compact gas turbine engines at Purdue University.
Praxair, the largest industrial gases company in North and South America. The company has operations in Indianapolis and Burns Harbor as well as multiple welding supply stores around the state.
Safran, a partner of CFM International, which produces the new, next generation LEAP engine. The France-based company is also the parent of MorphoTrust USA in Fort Wayne, which provides tech-enabled security and identity solutions.
Thyssenkrupp, which is based in Germany and operates in 78 countries. The company supports more than 470 subsidiaries, including Thyssenkrupp Presta in Terre Haute, which manufactures automotive steering systems.
While in Paris, the delegation also met with executives of France-based companies with Indiana operations, including Bollore Group, the parent company of BlueIndy; Faurecia, an automotive supplier that employs approximately 1,800 Hoosiers; and Michelin, which employs more than 1,200 associates at its BF Goodrich Tire manufacturing plant in Allen County.
Indiana is home to more than 800 foreign-owned business facilities, which employ 170,800 Hoosiers, ranking number 14 in the nation for jobs supported by foreign-owned firms. In 2016, Indiana exported nearly $9 billion of goods to Europe, accounting for 25 percent of the state's total exports.
This concludes Governor Holcomb's first international trade mission. He traveled to Hungary where he met with top government officials, including Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Minister of National Economy Mihály Varga, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó, to discuss economic cooperation between Indiana and Hungary. While in France, Governor Holcomb attended the 24 Hours of Le Mans auto race to strengthen Indiana's automotive and motorsports sectors and debuted the state's exhibit at the International Paris Air Show, showcasing the state's aviation, aerospace and defense industry.

IPCC and uranium supply limits?
I have been reading the database (and associated literature) of the recent IPCC 1.5 degrees special report. I am disappointed that there clearly is no consistent reporting requirements for the IAM models and for example most scenarios do not report critical input assumptions such as capital costs. However, I had a more careful look on how modellers choose to treat uranium supplies. I have noted earlier how some models restrict nuclear power in the scenarios by claiming world runs out of uranium. These seemed very silly to me already then, but now, having read more, they seem totally absurd.
Below are some examples of the used supply curves. Notice how extracting more pushes up the cost of fossil fuels, but how in the case of uranium, the opposite is typically expected. Small increase in price increases the resource base dramatically. (This is harder to see, since axis are switched, but there it is…). Strangely many IAM modellers seem to treat uranium differently from other options. They force a hard upper limit on how much uranium can be extracted. For the German REMIND model this is set at 23Mt of uranium. In others, it might vary depending in the narrative and might be, for example, 20 Mt for the SSP1 (Shared socioeconomic pathway) variants and somewhat higher with other narratives. This resource limit is only applied for nuclear power and there are no material limitations on renewable energy for example. How come?
REMIND model supply curves for fossil fuels.
Uranium supply curve from GEA ,used in several models if I understood correctly. Based on Schneider and Sailor, but with arbitrary cut-offs which vary depending on the desired narrative.
There are some "real" sources that are used to estimate uranium supply curves. There is the IAEA Red book, Bunn et al. paper on the economics of reprocessing vs. once through cycle, and Schneider and Sailor paper on the supply curve. Remarkably, none of these gives support to the claims of uranium scarcity. Modellers have to some extent used the supply curve from the papers, but then added arbitrary ceilings for the supply. Bunn et al. conclude that scarcity will not force transition into breeders since resource base will rapidly expand whenever needed. They also discuss reasons for this extensively. Schneider and Sailor also warn that their supply curves should not be used over generational timescales (as done by the IAM modellers) since they ignore learning effects. They anticipate, based on historical data, that if mining volumes increase, prizes will drop rather than rise. This is precisely opposite to what is assumed in the scarcity based IAM models. IAM modellers simply ignore all this.
So are the assumed uranium limits relevant or not? Over short time scales, they are obviously not, but over the century they are. To illustrate this, I checked from all the scenarios in the 1.5 database how much uranium they would (roughly) need and compared this to the 23Mt limit assumed in the REMIND model. There are some models (GCAM in particular) where massive amounts of nuclear power are constructed and the uranium limit doesn't seem to matter a lot (see the peak in the figure below). However, for most of the scenarios the required amount of uranium is suspiciously close to the upper boundaries set as input assumptions.
Estimate of how much uranium relative to the 23Mt limit assumed in the REMIND model IPCC scenarios need. Some models with only few scenarios are not marked. Flag indicates "continent". I did not feel like splitting the European models further.
What does this mean in terms of the energy consumption of humanity during the next century? What have the modellers actually assumed? So let me add rough estimate of the assumed uranium supply curve into the supply curves for fossil fuels. This requires some unit conversions and I also convert from nuclear electricity to primary energy by dividing it by 0.33 to get a comparable cost per GJ. As you can see in the figure, the underlying assumption, for example, REMIND modellers use as an input, is that uranium is the first resource to "run out". Constraint is so strict that nuclear power can only cover a small fraction of the energy consumption (something around 50-100ZJ maybe?) over the century.
For some weird reason, humanity stops mining uranium even when the fuel cost is still massively lower than for fossil fuels. What is going on? Why would this make any sense? The used references certainly do not support this. (Incidentally, is this why uranium supply curve is given in different units …to make this comparison harder? I hope not.) Many people read these scenarios as outcomes of "science". Computer magically optimizes something and then gives us a guideline on how to behave and what decisions to take. This is not at all the case. Scenario modelling has its uses, but mainly in illustrating sensitivities etc. If silly constraints are imposed from the outset, silly outcomes will appear. Garbage in, garbage out.
The lowest blue line is my estimate for uranium in light water reactors. It ends when roughly 23Mt of U are used. (I hope I made the estimate right. I encourage you to double check.) Wow!
Same as earlier, but for the AR5. Not quite all the models/scenarios are included, but most are. I also added a small indicator to distinguish Message v.4 runs from the rest since it seemed behavior was rather different.

'God of War' Lore: Pandora's Box
Do you like this video?
" After thousands of years, Pandora's Box was finally opened. The power of the Gods unleashed. "
Pandora's Box Concept Art.
Pandora's Box was an artifact in Greek Mythology. The "box" was actually a large jar (πιθος pithos), that was given to Pandora. Pandora was told not to open it by any means necessary, but, due to her ever-growing curiosity, she opened it and out of the vase came great evils which spread widely across the Earth.
However, before closing the box, Pandora also discovered a power called Hope in it. She then reopened it in an effort to aid mankind, and released Hope to the world as well.
In God of War Series Edit
God of War Edit
Pandora's Box was created by Hephaestus, by the order of Zeus, to contain the Evils created by the Titanomachy. After he knew that no mere metal could contain the Evils of the World, Hephaestus forged the Box out of a Power greater than that of the Gods: the Flame of Olympus. The Flame, as lethal as it was beautiful, would kill all who dared touch it, and therefore, was the perfect safeguard for the Box. The key to pacifying the Flame was a child that Hephaestus had created from the flame itself - Pandora. After he knew that Zeus would take Pandora from him, Hephaestus tricked Zeus into believing that placing the Box on the back of Cronos would be the safest place, thereby saving Pandora, and condemning Cronos to a life of agony.
The brilliant architect, Pathos Verdes III, was tasked to build a temple in order to house the Box, which ensured that none would be able to reach it. Over time, he descended into madness, and Pandora's Temple's puzzles grew more vicious and complex, accordingly. He eventually committed suicide, which left the temple somewhat unfinished.
Although many would-be heroes and treasure seekers fell to the traps of Pandora's Temple seeking the Box, only Kratos claimed the powerful artifact in order to kill Ares. As he found it, however, it was immediately stolen by Harpies as Ares himself slew Kratos. The God of War then chained the Box to his wrist and threatened to unleash it on Mount Olympus itself.
However, Kratos returned from the Underworld due to the help of the mysterious Grave Digger and reclaimed the Box from Ares using Zeus' Fury. At long last, Kratos opened it, drew from its power, which allowed him to meet Ares in battle and eventually kill him with the Blade of the Gods. That would seemingly bring the role of Pandora's Box to an end, but that was not so, for the power of the Box would still rest in Kratos even after he became the new God of War.
God of War II Edit
Unbeknownst to Kratos, the opening of the Box had grave consequences on the world. After Pandora's Box was opened, the Evils of the Titanomachy escaped and infected the Gods, which caused them to become paranoid and power-hungry. Zeus himself fell prey to his own Evil-Fear, which caused him to begin his campaign to kill Kratos for fear of falling victim to The Cycle that his own father had started all those years ago. He grew obsessed with the prophecy that foretold the destruction of Olympus by Mortal hands. Those fears seemed to be accurate since Kratos was angry about the lie that the Gods had done to him, in which they forgave his crimes, yet refused to remove his nightmares. However, despite all those fears and reasonable thoughts, it would be Zeus's actions that caused Kratos to want to act out of revenge.
In God of War III, it was revealed that this Fear also motivated Zeus to confront Hephaestus about how Kratos had retrieved the Box from the seemingly-unassailable hiding place atop Cronos. Beating the Smith God horribly, he learned of Pandora's role as a key to the Flame of Olympus-the true safest place to hide the Box-and took Pandora away from Hephaestus while he turned him into a crippled monster and left him in the torment of The Forge. Also in God of War III, it was revealed that Zeus had feared that Kratos would seek help from Cronos, and, so, banished him to the Pit of Tartarus.
Pandora's Box was never really seen or mentioned in God of War II, but its role in corrupting the Gods set the stage for the game, as fear of Kratos led to Zeus' attempt to kill him, which, in turn, spurred Kratos to seek vengeance on the King of the Gods as well as the Olympians of the Mortal World, and eventually destroy Mount Olympus.
God of War III Edit
Pandora's Box played a central role in God of War III, where Kratos again sought it in order to gain power to kill Zeus and destroy Olympus. Along the way, he confronted and destroyed most of the infected Gods, which caused the Evils within them to be released into the world as plagues or disasters. Kratos eventually discovered the Box that was placed within the Flame of Olympus, and was told by Athena's Astral Form to seek out Pandora, in order to calm the Fires.
Eventually after killing many Gods, and reaching the Chamber of the Flame next to the Throne of Mount Olympus, Kratos succeeded in dispelling the Flame (fighting Zeus and sacrificing Pandora in the process), but found the Box empty, which caused Zeus to mock Kratos for "another stunning failure". That revelation only strengthened his rage and desire for vengeance on Zeus, and he eventually fought Zeus again, and, with the Blade of Olympus, struck what seemed to be a fatal blow on the King of the Gods while inside the Titaness, Gaia, which also killed her. However, Zeus released a ghost-like projection of himself from his body, which began to attack Kratos with a powerful blast that knocked all of his weapons and armor down and then by infecting him with Fear, the same Evil that corrupted the King of the Gods, and thus forced him to feel the fear and pain of his many victims, as well as his own, long-buried guilt over all of the terrible things that he had done in his life like killing his wife, Lysandra, his child, Calliope and his sister, Athena.
As Zeus' spiritual image attacked Kratos and infected his mind, the Spartan withdrew into his own Psyche, guided by the spirit of Pandora. After he absolved himself of his sins, Kratos was able to unlock the power that Athena had told him to find that was symbolized by his Astral Form opening Pandora's Box, used it to kill Zeus for good, and thus, the Lighting of the World was unleashed.
Shortly after Zeus' death, Athena revealed that years ago when Zeus gathered all the Evil and trapped them in the Box, she placed the "most Powerful weapon in the world" in the Box, the Power of Hope, to counteract the Evils in case it was opened again (she later revealed that she anticipated on the moment that Pandora's Box would be opened). The first time Kratos opened the box, Athena believed that the power of Hope to remain inside, while Kratos drew from the Evils. In truth, however, Athena realized that Kratos had actually accessed Hope, while the Evils corrupted the Gods including Zeus which caused him to be obsessed with Kratos's death. Until his confrontation with Zeus, Kratos had been unable to use the Power freely, because it was trapped beneath his overwhelming hatred, guilt, sins, and failures of his past, but that it was freed, she could reclaim it and use it to reshape the world. In response, however, Kratos impaled himself on the Blade of Olympus, released Hope to the world, and completed the escape of the powers that were once held in Pandora's Box.
Powers Edit
Pandora's Box in God of War III.
According to Athena and Hephaestus, Pandora's Box contained the Evils of the World & the Human Race, which were created in the wake of the Titanomachy. Exactly what that meant was never truly explored, but that did not appear to encompass all of the World's flaws; ample amounts of anger, cruelty, and other negative traits were apparent in the series long before Kratos opened the Box.
However, Athena claimed that the Evils within the Box could destroy the World if left unchecked, which implied that the powers within Pandora's Box may have been extremely potent versions of natural negative traits that were focused to unnaturally destructive levels by the widespread violence of the Titanomachy.
Cursed Edit
Fear/Obsession/Treachery - Zeus: Behaved in a paranoid manner, and became obsessed with killing Kratos for fear of being overthrown. Also, Zeus betrayed a lot of his family members and used them more as pawns then as brethren in the fight against Kratos. Though, later on in the final battle, Zeus was freed from the evil when Kratos beat him to death.
Anger/Violence - Poseidon: Acted and fought Kratos in extreme anger and rage for his crimes, like the destruction of Atlantis, his beloved city, that was caused by Kratos when he released Thera. In a note that was left for his Princess in Poseidon's Chamber that appeared in God of War III, Poseidon also apologized for making her the subject of his rage, which showed how he had been very angry during that period, but realized that (something his brethren didn't). Poseidon, in his letter, also doubted that Pandora, a child, deserved such cruelty and that Zeus was no longer the brother that he once knew.
Hate/Rage - Hades: Hated Kratos in a very irrational way, perhaps for having killed his wife, Persephone. That hatred then grew when Kratos killed Hades' niece, Athena, and Hades' brother, Poseidon.
Mischief/Pride - Hermes: Took pride in his own speed and mocked and bullied Kratos about his brutality and lack of speed.
Pride/Deceit/Slander - Helios: Acted proud and later, when he was defeated, pled to Kratos to spare his life; and tried to trick Kratos into entering the Flame of Olympus by lying to him. Helios also said that Hephaestus, the one who told Kratos not to believe him and that the Flame killed all who touched it, was a freak that was exiled from Olympus, and thus also represented the evil or sin of Slander.
Gluttony/Sloth - Hera: Behaved in a lazy, unenthusiastic way and drank alcohol casually. Also became obsessed with having Zeus' illegitimate children kill each other off in gladiator style fights.
Envy/Jealousy - Hercules: Full of jealousy and resentment for Kratos for the way that they both did penance for the Gods, but Kratos had more fame than he did, which resulted in Hercules wanting to kill his brother and take the title of God of War for himself.
Lust/Vanity - Aphrodite: Controlled by carnal desires, she turned her handmaidens into sexual slaves with her powers and even helped Kratos only for pleasure with him. Her sexual obsession blinded her from problems of the rest of the world. She also deemed her husband, Hephaestus "worthless" and constantly cheated on him with multiple men and women. However, those traits might not have been from the plague and instead may have been natural traits, since she was the Goddess of Sex and Pleasure, however, it could be that the plague had emphasized her traits or it had infected her servants before reached it Aphrodite.
Misery/Deceit - Hephaestus: Full of sadness and depression after Zeus tortured and disfigured him, took Pandora away from him, and forced him to work in The Forge. Then, in order to protect Pandora from Kratos, he lied about helping him in his quest to kill Zeus and then sent Kratos on a suicide mission to bring the Omphalos Stone from the Pit of Tartarus (which still resided in Cronos' Stomach) so that Hepaestus could build Kratos a new weapon: the Nemesis Whip. However, Hephaestus tried to use the new weapon as a conduit of electricity to kill Kratos with his ring, only to have Kratos use the Whip to impale him with his own anvil.
Greed/Selfishness - Athena: Tried to usurp the Power of Hope from Kratos in order to use it for herself to become the only Goddess. That Evil was only shown when she was a spirit.
Blessed Edit
Hope (Kratos): Obtained the Power of Hope to kill Zeus and the Gods and destroy Olympus and had his eyes opened to the Chaos that he caused.
Hope (Pandora): Told Kratos that "As the fear in the Gods rose, mine was replaced by Hope". She referred to the time that Kratos opened the Box to kill Ares, the fallen God of War. It was that Hope that helped her to endure the loss and the torture of her father and her prison in the Labyrinth until she was rescued by Kratos.
Hope (Athena): While she never actually used the Power herself, Athena was the one who placed the Power within the Box along with the many Evils and feared the time of when it would be opened. She resents Kratos for releasing it to the surviving Greeks, allowing them to rebuild their civilization after the Chaos ends, as she hope to wield it herself and become monotheistic god of the Grecian world.
In addition, Pandora's Box seems to house divine power within it, as Kratos gained power like that of a God (changing his size, fighting on equal ground with a god), after opening it.
Kratos opening Pandora's Box
God of War III: Ultimate Edition was made available in a scaled replica of Pandora's Box. It contained 3 CD OST's in paper sleeves, one for each main title released up to that point.
Pandora's Box, along with Olympian-forged weapons (such as the Blade of Olympus, the Blade of the Gods, and the Gauntlet of Zeus), were the only known ways for a mortal to kill a God. Pandora's Box gave whoever opened it the powers to slay a God (along with other abilities, such as increasing their size dramatically) but it was the weapons that allowed a human to truly kill a God.
It was possible that since Pandora was created to extinguish the Flame of Olympus and thus made Pandora's Box reachable, Pandora was almost a "key" not only to the Powers inside of it but what the powers did and how to use them, as she explained to Kratos.
Pandora's Box's depiction in God of War showed that the lid had visages of tormented souls on it. In God of War III, it was replaced with images of emaciated hands and horned demons.
In Mythology, the Gods used the Evils of Pandora's Box to punish humanity for Prometheus' crime of giving fire to the mortals and created the first human female - Pandora, and ensured that she would eventually open the Box to bring about Man's downfall. In the game, the Evils were seen as a threat to both humanity and the Olympians, and thus were sealed to never again bring harm to the world; Furthermore, the background story also provided an origin for where the Evils came from - The Great War, unlike the original myths, which never stated where they were created or how they came to be. In an ironic inversion of the original myths, it was a mortal (Kratos), who unleashes the Evils upon the Gods, rather than the other way around.
Additionally, the leveling-up screen's background in God of War III contained designs that were found on the Box.
In Greek Mythology, Pandora's Box was actually a Greek storage vase known as a pithos. In Roman Mythology however, it was a box. Furthermore, due to most people knowing it in the Roman Myth, it was possibly made into a box and not a pithos in the game.
It was clearly unknown how Zeus was freed by the Evil, Fear, from Pandora's Box when Kratos was beating him down as the other Gods were killed but weren't seen being freed by the Evils, though a possibility was that when Kratos achieved the power of Hope, he was able to dispel Fear from Zeus.
The only individuals who didn't seem to be affected by the Evils of Pandora's Box (that Kratos accidentally released) were Thanatos, the Titans, Gaia, Athena (when alive) and the Sisters of Fate.
It is unknown if Ares was somehow affected, as he was evil in many ways even before the events of the game. Apart of his own trait, Ares' threat to attack Olympus as well as his bloodthirsty ways were already part of his own character.
The reason why Thanatos, Gaia, and the Sisters of Fate remained unaffected could be because they were Primordials.
There is the possibility they had been affected but not as majorly as the other Gods.

Zion Lutheran Church and School is located on a 7.83 acre site at the northeast corner of Lovers Lane and Skillman Road in Dallas Texas. The current facilities were originally constructed in 1957, with significant additions and updates occurring in 1965 and 1981. After a year-long study by Zion's lay leadership and professional staff it was determined that there was a need to enhance and expand Zion's primary mission, the school. The first phase, completed in August 2015, meets several goals and objectives of the Master Plan including adding three classrooms a music room shared by the church and the school, and improved site vehicular and pedestrian circulation by way of additional canopies and drop-off drives.


NEW MAN ON CAMPUS — Fairmont police officer Mike Beletti stands outside Fairmont High School, where he will serve as school resource officer beginning this fall.
FAIRMONT — Over the past two decades, the public school experience has changed. Technology continues to grow by leaps and bounds, social norms have shifted, and a greater emphasis has been placed on student safety.
To that end, the Fairmont Police Department is once again teaming up with Fairmont Area Schools to provide an on-site school resource officer, a move meant not only to keep students safe, but to help them build better relationships with local police officers.
Filling this important role is Officer Mike Beletti. Beletti began his law enforcement career roughly eight years ago, and was able to share what that was like.
"I began my law enforcement career in 2009 with the Winnebago Police Department and that was my very first law enforcement job," he said. "I didn't have any family in the southern Minnesota area, but I had some friends from college that graduated and got some jobs down here and that's how I came to the area. But I've grown to love it here, it's been great with the slower pace.
Beletti then discussed how he became interested in the SRO position.
He went on to share the history of the SRO program.
When asked about other benefits to students of having an officer in school, Beletti said the most important reason is to relate to the students, building the relationship between the police department and students.
On a personal note, Beletti noted he is looking forward to interacting with staff and students, as well as becoming more familiar with the community.
"Our schools are pretty large here, so getting to know them on a more personal level and building relationships is what I look forward to the most," he said.
As for other school-related projects, Beletti said the department is looking at getting a program called Adopt-a-cop started in the elementary school.

Elizabeth Anscombe discussed the principle of double effect at length in her 1961 book Intention and Jonathan Bennett made it the centerpiece of his 1980 Tanner Lectures at Oxford, "Morality and Consequences."
In his work on intentions, Michael Bratman looks back to Anscombe's descriptions of terror bombing in World War II and Bennett's similar cases, to give us the now popular case of the Strategic Bomber versus the Terror Bomber.
Both Terror Bomber and Strategic Bomber have the goal of promoting the war effort against Enemy. Each intends to pursue this goal by weakening Enemy, and each intends to do that by dropping bombs. Terror Bomber's plan is to bomb the school in Enemy's territory, thereby killing children of Enemy and terrorizing Enemy's population. Strategic Bomber's plan is different. He plans to bomb Enemy's munitions plant, thereby undermining Enemy's war effort. Strategic Bomber also knows, however, that next to the munitions plant is a school, and that when he bombs the plant he will also destroy the school, killing the children inside. Strategic Bomber has not ignored this fact. Indeed, he has worried a lot about it. Still, he has concluded that this cost, though significant, is outweighed by the contribution that would be made to the war effort by the destruction of the munitions plant.
Now, Terror Bomber intends all of the features of his action just noted: he intends to drop the bombs, kill the children, terrorize the population, and thereby weaken Enemy. In contrast, it seems that Strategic Bomber only intends to drop the bombs, destroy the munitions plant, and weaken Enemy. Although he knows that by bombing the plant he will be killing the children, he does not, it seems, intend to kill them. Whereas killing the children is, for Terror Bomber, an intended means to his end of victory, it is, for Strategic Bomber, only something he knows he will do by bombing the munitions plant. Though Strategic Bomber has taken the deaths of the children quite seriously into account in his deliberation, these deaths are for him only an expected side effect; they are not — in contrast with Terror Bomber's position — intended as a means. This, anyway, seems to be the commonsense view.
This supposed difference between the two bombers is thought by some to make an important moral difference. In particular, according to the principle of double effect this difference might make a crucial difference in the moral permissibility of the bombings. According to this principle it is sometimes permissible knowingly to bring about (or allow) some bad effect in the course of achieving some good end, even though it would not have been permissible to bring about (or allow) that bad effect as one's intended means to that good end. So it might be permissible for Strategic Bomber to bomb the plant and yet impermissible for Terror Bomber to bomb the school, even though in both cases it is known that the children will be killed and even though both bombing missions make the same contribution to weakening Enemy.
Of course, one can recognize the commonsense distinction between intending some means and merely expecting some side effect without supposing that this distinction can bear so much moral weight. My primary interest here is not in the moral principle but in the commonsense psychology that underlies it.
Related to the principle of Double Effect is the famous "Trolley Problem" of Philippa Foot. In an exchange on "Intention and Permissibility," Tim Scanlon and Jonathan Dancy debated the question of whether the permissibility of an action depends on the intentions of the agent.

US briefing: Trump's Nato flounce, impeachment and George Zimmerman
The Guardian 5 December 2019
Photograph: Olivier Hoslet/EPA
Good morning, I'm Tim Walker with today's essential stories.
Furious Trump cuts short summit over 'two-faced' Trudeau
A thin-skinned Donald Trump left the Nato summit near London earlier than planned on Wednesday, after the emergence of a hot mic video in which other world leaders appeared to be ridiculing him. Trump cancelled a press conference and called the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, "two-faced", flouncing out of the meeting and throwing fresh doubt on the future of the troubled transatlantic military alliance.
Boris Johnson. The UK prime minister has denied the suggestion that he does not take Trump seriously, but also swerved the opportunity to praise the US president personally.
Joe Biden. The Democratic frontrunner's campaign seized on the hot mic clip to create a video claiming that "the world is laughing at President Trump".
Experts say Trump guilty of textbook impeachable offences
A group of constitutional scholars told the House judiciary committee on Wednesday that Trump's dealings with Ukraine were a textbook case of impeachable conduct, at the start of the latest phase of the impeachment process. "If what we're talking about is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable," said Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina. Yet the day was somewhat overshadowed by a pun about the president's son Barron, which drew an angry response from the first lady.
Key takeaways. Tom McCarthy lays out the key takeaways from the first day of judiciary committee hearings, which laid out the Democrats' road map to formal articles of impeachment.
George Zimmerman sues Trayvon Martin's family for $100m
Zimmerman claims the Martin case destroyed his reputation. Photograph: Reuters
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot dead black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012, has launched a $100m lawsuit against the dead 17-year-old's family and their legal team. Zimmerman, who was controversially cleared of Martin's murder, claims the "malicious prosecution" of the high-profile case destroyed his reputation, and that the civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump defames him in his recent book, Open Season: Legalized Genocide of Colored People.
Death threats. The 36-page lawsuit claims Zimmerman lives in constant fear of attack, "often receives death threats when he appears in public" and has depression and PTSD.
US sailor kills two civilians in attack at Pearl Harbor base

A US sailor shot dead two civilian workers and injured a third before killing himself at the Pearl Harbor military base near Honolulu, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, on Wednesday afternoon. The names of the victims will not be released until the next of kin have been notified, said authorities at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickham, which is home to both the US navy and US air force.
78th anniversary. The shooting took place near the shipyard's Dry Dock 2, across the harbor from the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, which on Saturday will mark the 78th anniversary of the Japanese attack that drew the US into the second world war.
Nestlé's attempts to privatize natural water sources in the US have hit a snag, after a court ruled the firm's commercial water-bottling operation is "not an essential public service," in a victory for a Michigan town that blocked Nestlé building a pumping station at a nearby wellhead.
China's ambassador to the US has warned of "destructive forces" trying to undermine the relationship between the two countries and their ongoing trade talks, describing claims of human rights abuses in Hong Kong and Xinjiang as "fake news".
A US district judge in New Hampshire has denied a request by out-of-state students and other temporary residents to block a Republican-backed law that makes it harder for them to vote in their adopted state.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have tweeted in support of the UK's national heath service, in response to a viral video that demonstrates British people's shock at discovering the costs of healthcare in the US.

Queen & Slim sparks debate over 'trauma porn'
Lena Waithe's gorgeously shot directorial debut, Queen & Slim, is about a black couple who kill a white police officer during a tense traffic stop and go on the run across the US. Always destined for controversy, the film has sparked a debate as to whether it exploits black pain for mass consumption, as André Wheeler explains.
How a deadly boat trip exposed Iraq's corruption and neglect
Even in a country accustomed to fanatical militias, occupying armies and dictators, the March ferry disaster in Mosul, which killed at least 128 people – most of them women and children – still had the power to shock. Ghaith Abdul-Ahad tells the story of the tragedy, and the underlying corruption it revealed.
Buttigieg's business background raises questions
Pete Buttigieg, the rising star of the Democratic primary, has an impressive backstory: Harvard graduate, Afghanistan veteran, big-city mayor all before the age of 30. But now the three years he spent as a management consultant at McKinsey have some questioning his progressive credentials, as Lucia Graves reports.
The groups helping refugees settle in US cities
For the latest in the Guardian's City Champions series, Amanda Holpuch talks to the people behind Refugee Response, a non-profit organisation addressing the needs of the 2,500 refugees who have settled in Cleveland over the past decade – and to Sabzina Muhibzada, one of the young people to benefit from their assistance.
Nato faces a crisis sparked by criticism from the leader of its most powerful member. But the problems afflicting the 70-year-old alliance run deeper than Donald Trump, argues Michael H Fuchs.
To adapt to today's world – a newly aggressive Russia, an unreliable US president, growing challenges from China and instability within the EU – Nato must evolve again.
Marcus Rashford scored both of Manchester United's goals in their 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, ending former United manager José Mourinho's winning streak at his new club. Meanwhile the Premier League leaders overwhelmed neighbors Everton at Anfield, with a 5-2 win that suggests the clubs' historic rivalry is just that: history.
The tactics being used by Colin Kaepernick's critics to discredit the former NFL quarterback are familiar, says Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're exactly how conservative America has always treated African American athletes who speak out.

As the home of Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, skiing haven Jackson Hole, and a climate that ranks 9th in the nation for its number of sunny days, Wyoming is certainly the cream of the crop in terms of locales. Because nearly 92 percent of Wyoming's land is considered rural, it would be difficult to find on-campus criminal justice colleges in Wyoming outside of major metropolitan areas like Cheyenne. Fortunately, online Wyoming criminal justice schools abound, which may be ideal for those in more remote areas.
According to the National Institute of Corrections, in 2008 the Wyoming crime rate was 20 percent lower than the national average, with 92.1 percent of that being property crimes. The remaining violent crimes occurred at a rate that was 49 percent lower than the national average. Due to the low crime rate, incarcerations were 13 percent lower than the national average. Because of its high number of state and national parks and recreation areas, Wyoming has the highest concentration of fish and game wardens of any other state, and it ranks among the top five highest-paying states for this occupation. This career requires two years of college study along with specialized academy and field training.
Police and detective occupations nationwide are projected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to grow at a rate of 10 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is about average; fish and game warden positions, of which there are many in Wyoming, should grow at a similar pace. There were 7,530 fish and game wardens in Wyoming in 2009. However, criminal justice colleges in Wyoming can prepare you for many other law enforcement jobs. In Wyoming, you could work as a detective or criminal investigator, corrections officer, police or sheriff's patrol officer, or firefighter (a critical job in this rural state). Protective service occupations earned a mean annual wage of $40,550 in 2009, while the U.S. mean annual wage was $41,740, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The user selects a menu item to execute a particular path; for example, new data is read only when the user selects the menu item, get data.
We will modify the simple version of our payroll program to make it menu driven. They can also be set into predefined fault modes so that error-handling routines can be developed and reliably tested. Suppose you prefer to specify only one corner and also specify the width and height of the rectangle.
If objects overlap, the ones which used the draw method later appear on top. Tools such as Mspec and Specflow provide a syntax which allow non-programmers to define the behaviors which developers can then translate into automated tests.
The early and frequent nature of the testing helps to catch defects early in the development cycle, preventing them from becoming endemic and expensive problems. So far we only know how to write functions that return a single value.
Objectclassmodulevariable and method names should clearly represent their current purpose and use, as extra functionality is added. By that date, SPSS: Since PyCharm analyses your code on-the-fly, the results are immediately shown in the inspection indicator on top of the right gutter.
From Version 20 onwards, these two scripting facilities, as well as many scripts, are included on the installation media and are normally installed by default. Separate common set-up and teardown logic into test support services utilized by the appropriate test cases. Treat your test code with the same respect as your production code.
It is possible to write tests for low and easy maintenance, for example by the reuse of error strings, and this should be a goal during the code refactoring phase described above. The six steps of the TDD sequence are applied with minor semantic changes: The execution framework provided by these test frameworks allows for the automatic execution of all system test cases or various subsets along with other features.
Those methods are described together, first. Keeping units relatively small is claimed to provide critical benefits, including: It sounds simple, but a key initial step is to recognize that test code is also important software and should be produced and maintained with the same rigor as the production code.
Repeat Starting with another new test, the cycle is then repeated to push forward the functionality. Because the backslash is used as part of an escape code, the backslash itself must be escaped. For the example, let's use this code:.

Borderlines at LitFest: So, Where Are You From?
The Nook Café, 10153 97 St.
How do multilingual speakers negotiate the space between two or more cultures in an increasingly multicultural and multilingual environment? How can multilingual writers expand the horizon for literature in our city, province, and country? With a strong passion for English and/or their heritage languages, six Canadian writers offer their inspiration and stories; raise questions about community, nation, and belonging; and explore new ways of addressing audiences in Canada as well as at home.
Panelists will include Mila Philipzig, Leilei Chen, Lisa Dublin, Luciana Erregue-Sacchi, Shimelis Gebremichael, and (Ja)nine Muster.
Presented by the Borderlines Writers Circle members of the Writers' Guild of Alberta.
This event is free to attend, but reserve your spot HERE.

Mila Bongco-Philipzig is from the Philippines and came to Edmonton on a scholarship for graduate studies on Comparative Literature. After completing her MA at the University of Alberta, she moved to Germany on a scholarship towards a PhD on Cultural Studies. In Munich, she met her husband and they have one son. Mila is the author of Reading Comics: Language, Culture, and the Concept of Superhero in Comic Books (2000). In 2016, she published two bilingual children's books, Sandy Beaches to Snow and Goodnight Philippines, Goodnight World – both reflecting her interests in family, travel, multiculturalism, and diversity.
niversity Press) and published its Chinese version with Yilin Press, Nanjing, China, in 2017. She is a member of the Borderlines Writers Circle in 2017 and is working on a collection of travel writing/memoir pieces. Her memoir piece, "Cleaning Sarah's Room," is in the anthology titled Home: Stories Connecting Us All; "Life Begins at Forty" is forthcoming in another collection called Looking Back, Moving Forward which is published by Mawenzi Press.

Shimelis is blessed with two beautiful kids.
(Ja)nine Muster was the child who hid behind a book while the other kids were playing during lunch break at school. Although she has not yet become the next famous author, the Leipziger Volkszeitung (LVZ), a daily print newspaper in Germany, was quite happy with her regular contributions on inspiring locals, concerts and theatre productions, reportages, and travelogues. Once she finally discovered the internet, she produced online content for Eisbär Media GmbH, a web developer in Leipzig. Being passionate about humans' production of and interaction with their spaces, Nine (pronounced like Nina) moved to Edmonton and recently completed her Master of Arts degree in Sociology at the University of Alberta. Nine cares about language, gets excited when sentences flow smoothly into one another, and is passionate about the Oxford comma. Her biggest dream is to become an author Henry Miller would want to read.
Nisha Patel is an Indo-Canadian poet and artist. Her work has been published in a collection of poems called "Water" and a solo chapbook "Limited Success" through Glass Buffalo Publishing. She is currently working on a debut full collection of poetry.


Before beginning a garment project, taking correct measurements of the body and transferring those figures to a commercial pattern (or using them to draft a pattern of your own) should be your first priority. Accurate measurements are vital since a quarter inch added or subtracted on one part of a pattern piece could end up adding or subtracting up to one inch on the over-all garment. Keep in mind that each garment is comprised of a left and right side for both the front and the back so you will generally be adding or subtracting one forth of the amounts required when altering the pattern. The illustrations and measuring instructions seen here are sufficient for altering patterns. However, drafting a pattern is more complicated and utilizes more measurements.
Ease is the next factor to consider. A certain amount of ease for movement is built into each pattern. This is called "wearing ease." The extra amount added to accommodate a particular style is called "design ease" and could result in choosing a smaller or larger size pattern.
Woven fabrics such as cottons, linens, silks and tightly woven wools have little or no give and require more wearing ease than knits. Certain rules of thumb apply and are listed below.
On garments with a natural waistline seam, one quarter inch is added to the neck to waist measurement. This allows a little more freedom of movement when the arms are raised and also eliminates that "short-waisted" appearance common to this style.
Taking accurate measurements generally requires an assistant so having a sewing buddy to call on can be helpful and fun.

BMW has joined the space race where motorcycles race along spaces without riders. Engineer Stefan Hans has been working on this project for more than three years with 100,000km of testing, with a lot of falling over we imagine. The result is a BMW R1200GS with panniers and top box filled with gadgets and gizmos that circulates the BMW test track in the south of France with no rider attached to it.
This means that BMW joins Yamaha in producing a robotically controlled motorcycle, except that where Yamaha makes use of their famous MotoBot, BMW's bike just moves around with nothing apparent at the controls. It is, in every way, riderless.
In a similar fashion to the driverless cars that are coming, these riderless bikes have huge potential. Sadly, BMW says that they are not planning on building riderless motorcycles, and this exercise is purely to help them better understand the systems on a motorcycle for better safety features. This also makes sense given of Ducati's announcing that their bikes will soon be released with radar that will detect danger before the rider and perhaps take action.
With Ducati's radar and BMW's automation, there's no reason why a motorcycle can't automatically swerve, brake or even accelerate when in danger.
Saying that, why can't they just ride themselves? Unlike driverless cars, these bikes are not necessarily to cart the rider round while reading a newspaper, unless said rider is Mat Durrans, who has just stumbled out of the pub and can't remember where he lives. No, they are more for carting the bike around without the rider.
This has huge possibilities, working as a sort of valet. The bike drops you, say, outside your work, you push a button and the bike buggers off to either go park or set itself comfortably back in the garage at home. This is especially handy for people that live in "first world" cities that are so advanced that you can't park your bike neatly on the pavement near your work, but have to park it in special bike parking areas that are not only three kilometres from where you want to be, but are inevitably full.
With the push of a button, the bike will return also. More so, if you want to test ride a bike, you need fill-in a form online and the dealer sends the bike round to your house. You could maybe rent a bike, and it also delivers itself, like a motorcycle Uber.
It's a bit like Amazon drones, but motorbikes.
I really hope they do this.

The Four Humors by Mina Seçkin
This wry and visceral debut novel follows a young Turkish-American woman who, rather than grieving her father's untimely death, seeks treatment for a stubborn headache and grows obsessed with a centuries-old theory of medicine.
Twenty-year-old Sibel is fascinated by the human body. She's hoping to be a doctor and plans to spend her summer in Istanbul studying for the MCAT and visiting her father's grave. Instead, she finds herself self-diagnosing her own possible chronic illness with the four humors theory of ancient medicine. Is an imbalance of blood, bile, choler, and phlegm the cause of her physical and emotional turmoil?
Also on Sibel's mind: her blond American boyfriend who accompanies her to Turkey; her energetic but distraught younger sister; and her devoted grandmother, who, Sibel comes to learn, carries a harrowing secret.
Delving into her family's history, the narrative weaves through periods of political unrest in Turkey, from military coups to the Gezi Park protests. Told with pathos and humor, Sibel's search for strange and unusual cures is disrupted as she begins to see how she might heal herself through the care of others, including her own family and its long-fractured relationships.

J.L. Hudson Tea
An enjoyable and very successful fundraising tea was held at the SHVM convent in Detroit on February 15, raising almost $1,600 for the Little Angels School in rural Ichama, Benue state, Nigeria where HVM Sisters Calista and Helen serve as headmistress and teachers. Click here and here to see Sr. Calista's heartfelt and moving letters from Ichama.
121 E. Boston Blvd
The event brought together an eclectic group of people united by their interest in the current and former residents of 121 E. Boston Boulevard. Some attendees were perhaps not entirely familiar with the current residents – our good Sisters Home Visitors of Mary. To those people we hope you felt warmly welcomed into our home. May you be counted among our friends for many years to come!
But every Detroiter is familiar with the name J.L. Hudson. Mr. Joseph Lowthian Hudson purchased the house and grounds in 1911 and lived here until his untimely death the following year in July 1912. But his family and close relatives continued to reside here until 1926. So in a very real sense this beautiful property was the J.L. Hudson house in one of the most fashionable neighborhoods of Detroit for 15 years.
Most notably, his widowed sister Eliza Clay and his beloved young niece Eleanor Lowthian Clay continued to reside at 121 E. Boston Blvd. Eleanor was only 16 when her uncle Joseph died.
Eleanor Lowthian Clay
Eleanor Lowthian Clay is now better known by her married name – Eleanor Clay Ford – stemming from her 1916 marriage in this very house to Edsel Ford the only child of Henry and Clara Ford. The marriage vows were exchanged in front of the fireplace in the first floor library that now fittingly serves as chapel for the Sisters. Persons present at the wedding naturally included the proud father and mother of the groom, Henry and Clara Ford, and special guests Thomas A. Edison and his wife Mina. The newly married Edsel and Eleanor Clay Ford together went on to have four children: Henry Ford II (1917–1987), Benson Ford (1919–1978), Josephine Clay Ford (1923–2005), and William Clay Ford (1925–2014).
The afternoon tea was anchored by two events – one delicious and one fascinating – both wonderfully enjoyable. The tea service and accompanying food and deserts were heavenly sent! Visitors were able to chat, meet new friends over tea and snacks, and tour all areas of the entire 1st floor.

The feature event of the afternoon was a superb presentation by Phyllis Barkey entitled "J.L. Hudson and his Magnificent Store". Phyllis is a widely known historian of J.L. Hudson and the Hudson's department stores. Her specialties include the Mezzanine Tea Room and the 13th floor dining rooms in the former downtown store. She has given numerous presentations highlighted by her entertaining delivery and quick wit. She is also the author of the thoughtful and delightful The Relevant Tea Leaf web blog.
The audience sat enraptured, hearing of the life of Joseph L. Hudson – his accomplishments to be sure but even more so his character – his honesty, generosity and commitment to social responsibility. Mr. Hudson was a man decades ahead of his time. His attitudes on valuing the individual, on customer service, corporate ethics, employment policies and giving back to the community set a new standard in American life in the early 20th century. We are truly lucky that his spirit lived on after him both in his company and in his family. More than one visitor commented that Mr. Hudson would be proud of the event occurring in his house that day.

The fundraising tea provided a unique opportunity to reach back 100 years and be together with titans of American history: J.L. Hudson, Edsel & Eleanor Clay Ford, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and others. We shared their home. We attended their wedding. We encountered them as real people living their lives much the same as we live ours … moms and dads, sons and daughters and Uncle Joseph … not just as dusty entries in a history book.
They would be happy that their beautiful home is being put to such good use by the Sisters Home Visitors of Mary. They would agree with the vision of universal love that lies at heart of the Sisters' mission.

The Sisters Home Visitors of Mary want to express their deepest appreciation to Phyllis Barkey. This event could not have been accomplished without your generosity, expertise, enthusiasm and energy. May you be blessed!
An old saying is certainly true – "You meet the nicest people over tea."

Super K Sonic BOOOOum: a psychedelic experience of sub-atomic particles...
The experiential work Super K Sonic Booooum imagines what it would be like to see sub-atomic particles slam together at high speed and to experience a SONIC BOOUM (when a particle is traveling faster than the speed of light).
Offering a glimpse into the world of particle physics, NBH Studio created a super-sized version of a Japanese neutrino observatory, where electrons and neutrinos, a type of fundamental particles that make up the universe, collide to create giant explosions. On entering the installation, visitors put on helmets, white rubber shoes and boiler suits. They then board dinghies that transport them through a space filled with water and covered with silver balloons where they meet the Nobel Prize Physics winner inside a boat. There, they experienced a light show and a sonic explosion designed by sound artist Tim Holden in partnership with Particle Physicist at Imperial College.
Super K Sonic Booooum is based and developed in collaboration with the scientific team of the Super Kamiokande experiment. Super Kamiokande is one of only a few neutrino observatories in the world. It is located a kilometre underneath Kamioka mountain in Japan and consists of a cylindrical steel tank,about 40m in diameter, filled with 50,000 tons of ultra-pure water, and lined with 11,146 hand blown glass photomultiplier tubes. Experiments like the Super Kamiokande are Physicists' attempt to see into the dimensions that are inaccessible to us, to expand the horizon of our understanding of matter.
This large installation consisted of a 22 meter long 'river' of water running through a tunnel lined with thousands of silver balloons (photomultiplier tubes). Members of the public embark on a boat, pulled through the tunnel on a submerged track using a pulley system, with sound and lighting effects, and with an expert particle physicist navigator as a guide. On the journey they learn of neutrinos, their role in the Universe and how scientists detect them. All crew members must first don white Tyvek suits, wellies and hard hats or else face the wrath of Nelly the security chief, at the entrance of the tunnel. This installation is designed to deliver physically thrilling experiences; emerging the audience on a journey through the physics of the Universe.

Veteran Shane Watson has issued Australia's ODI team a warning ahead of their five-match series with Pakistan: beware teenage tearaway Mohammad Hasnain.
Watson played alongside the 18-year-old Hasnain during the Pakistan Super League, which finished on Sunday and culminated in their side, Quetta Gladiators, claiming the trophy.
And the Australian reckons the right-arm speedster, who was named in Pakistan's ODI squad for the series which begins in Sharjah on Friday, will turn heads if he gets the opportunity to take on the five-time world champions.
"Hasnain's control over his length and swing is very impressive and he varies his pace very well," Watson said.
"I have never seen an 18-year old bowl at such pace and I think even on the UAE pitches he will be a difficult proposition for the Australian team."
The experienced Watson has some quality to compare Hasnain to as well, considering he faced a young Mohammad Amir – who hit speeds approaching 150kph – during the Australian Test summer of 2009-10.
Hasnain was in scintillating form in the PSL final, winning player of the match with figures of 3-30 and afterwards targeting a spot in Pakistan's World Cup squad.
"I prefer getting my wickets via yorkers or bouncers," he said post-match. "I have always been a fast bowler, and I hope to bowl even faster.
"I want to do well in the ODIs against Australia (and) maybe get a spot in the World Cup squad as well."
Quetta captain Sarfraz Ahmed, who won't be part of the ODI series against the Australians, echoed Watson's sentiment.
"His pace is very impressive," said Sarfraz, "and he has the ability to surprise the batsmen on any surface."
Hasnain's inclusion in the Pakistan squad to take on Australia came amid a raft of changes for the hosts, with six first-choice players absent: Sarfraz, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Ali, Shadab Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
The Pakistanis have made eight changes in total to the squad that lost 3-2 to South Africa this summer, with allrounder Hussain Talat dropped and veteran Mohammad Hafeez not considered as he recovers from thumb surgery.
Their 16-player group will be captained by 37-year-old Shoaib Malik who leads a squad with eight new faces – Hasnain, Abid Ali, Haris Sohail, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Abbas, Saad Ali, Umar Akmal and Yasir Shah – including four uncapped players in Abid, Abbas, Hasnain and Saad.


The larger Multi-Longer GII has a horizontal reach of 5.7m and has 4-function joystick with electric proportional control. It has the OptiView parallelogram pivot-mounted semi-leading arm and 116 degree slew, with a 1.2m belt drive flail head. Hydraulic roller adds £986 to a machine price of £30,847.
