70 Out Of 100 – The Eagle's Nest is a funny, cynical take on the tired trope of African desires of migration
The Eagle's Nest is a bold reflection on desires of migration and merciless friendships in the wake of colonialism and patriarchal violence.
The debut feature of British-Cameroonian director Olivier Assoua focuses on Paris (Claude S Mbida Nkou) and Samantha (Felicity Asseh), two sex workers in a small Cameroonian town. On the eve of Paris' departure for Europe, a thief breaks into her house, brutally killing her mother and sister. Paris embarks on a quest for answers and revenge with the reluctant help of Samantha, against the luxurious backdrop of rural Cameroon.
The Eagle's Nest is not the most riveting thriller as the flashback-oriented narration gets a bit loose in places. Yet, it has a thrill of its own, midway between film noir and dark humour. A deep postcolonial pessimism and irony saturate the film, from the characters' cynical outlook on the world to the cinematography. Religion in particular is seriously flayed. Paris' house's walls are cracked and denuded except for a portrait of a white Jesus proclaiming "Jesus is my shepherd, I shall not want". Similarly, Paris' former painting teacher, Dorcas, laments the fate of Paris' family with the phrase "what a faithful friend we have in Jesus".
(l-r) Paris (Claude S Mbida Nkou); Samantha (Felicity Asseh) – The Eagle's Nest
"Gothic doll" as Paris calls herself and her dark-haired friend Samantha despite their distinctive styles both defy the stifling atmosphere of the small town. Actresses Claude S Mbida Nkou and Felicity Asseh both have an extraordinary presence on screen. The intimacy and homoeroticism of the duo is reminiscent of another iconic Cameroonian duo in Jean-Pierre Bekolo's science fiction thriller Les Saignantes (Those Who Bleed, 2005). Through kung-fu style fights or witty remarks, Samantha and Paris comically transgress social conventions.
The desire to escape the small town but also Cameroon casts a long shadow throughout the film. Samantha's sister is a returned student who never made it Europe having endured a horrific ordeal in Lybia. Paris is yet to try her chance. In one of her fits of sarcastic reverie, Paris gets her companions, Samantha and Obama (Richard Essame) to roleplay being on a boat crossing the Mediterranean instead of on top of a truck. This scene captures the dark humor and playfulness of the character as she exclaims enthusiastically: "We are so close to the Italian shore, I can smell spaghetti bolognese with meatball".
Overall, the quality of The Eagle's Nest production is impressive given the film was self-funded, with a low budget of £5,000 ($6,400). Director of photography Arsene Romuald Mvondo delivers stunning cinematography, as the characters navigate the labyrinthine streets of the town, its bare interiors, and the green and lush outdoors that surround it. In that regard, the film resonates with a long history of imaginative enlarging and rewriting of the possibilities of cinema by African filmmakers, despite structural lack of funding.
Yet, if the Eagles Nest avoids some of the usual traps of movies dealing with the theme of African migration, its handling of patriarchal violence raises questions regarding trauma porn and the ethics of representation.

Eagle's Nest is available to watch at Raindance Film Festival any time from 28 Oct to 7 Nov 2020. Find out more here.

The aim of the artist is to create work keeping the viewer in mind and control the emotional reaction to have the desired outcome. I brought the loss of privacy out from the digital world to the physical world. The viewer should get a hightened awareness about his loss of privacy.


Many of you have been asking for my final short vowel "write the room" printable. Here (at long last!) is the set for short u words.
Just in case you're new to "write the room," here's how it works.
Print small cards with the featured words and post them around your classroom or home.
Give your learner(s) a recording sheet to record each word as it is found.
Pretty simple! But there are so many possibilities. I love "write the room" because it's so easy to differentiate for a variety of learners.
As you can see, I have my son do a more advanced version of this activity. He has to find each word, unscramble it, and write it next to the matching picture on his board.
Truthfully, his reading has picked up lately and this is much too easy for him. (He can spell the words without needing to see the letters on each card.) But I'll be adding some more difficult write the room activities soon, in the hopes of challenging him and giving you more activities for your toolbox!
Level 1 – Simply find the matching picture and copy the word in the space on the recording sheet.
Level 2 – Find the word (without a picture cue) and write it next to the corresponding picture on the recording sheet.
Level 3 – Find the matching picture, unscramble the word, and write it next to the picture on the recording sheet.
Thank you for your kind words, Gayle!
I'm so glad you like it, Nancy!
I am grateful to you as you have made my work easy by providing such beautiful content for beginners.All praises to you.
Thank you for your kind words, Nasreen!
My students love these! Do you have more of these in your store? Thank your for so many freebies!!! I am truly grateful for your kindness.

"Flock ram sale averages have been very good and achieving good clearances in southern areas but obviously the drought in northern areas took a toll on clearance rates across the whole industry.

Former Trump Campaign Chair, Paul Manafort, Heads to Trial
Posted by miningawareness in Uncategorized

From VOA:
"Former Trump Campaign Chair Heads to Trial
July 30, 2018 5:15 PM, by Masood Farivar
Paul Manafort will have his day in court this week.
The 69-year-old former Trump campaign chairman goes on trial Tuesday in Alexandria, Virginia, one of two criminal cases brought against him by special counsel Robert Mueller.
On the surface, the criminal charges against Manafort — tax evasion, failure to report foreign bank accounts and fraudulently obtaining bank loans — are unrelated to the core of Mueller's investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
The charges stem from Manafort's decade-long lobbying and political consulting work for Ukraine's former president, Viktor Yanukovych.
While working for Yanukovych and his pro-Russia Party of Regions between 2006 and 2015, Manafort and his former business partner Rick Gates allegedly earned tens of millions of dollars in fees while hiding the income from the IRS.
To avoid paying hefty taxes, prosecutors say, they set up secret shell companies and offshore accounts to funnel their Ukrainian proceeds disguised as "loans" to U.S. accounts to buy multimillion-dollar properties and luxury goods.
After Yanukovych was deposed in 2014 and their Ukrainian income dwindled, Manafort and Gates allegedly came up with another scheme to obtain money: the two used their real estate properties in the U.S. as collateral to fraudulently secure more than $20 million in bank loans by "falsely inflating" their income.
In all, prosecutors say, more than $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts Manafort and Gates set up.
Manafort has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Virginia, as well as to a separate indictment in federal court in Washington, D.C.
He's been in jail since last month when the judge presiding over the Washington case revoked his bail for allegedly tampering with potential witnesses.
Manafort had been under federal investigation since 2014 over suspicion of illegal lobbying and financial improprieties. But he was ensnared in the Russia investigation last year after Mueller began examining ties between Trump campaign staff and Russia.
Muller has spent the last 14 months building the case against Manafort with a mountain of evidence seized from Manafort's and Gates's homes, computers and electronic devices, as well as documents obtained from financial institutions.
In recent days, prosecutors have submitted a list of hundreds of exhibits they plan to introduce at trial, including financial documents and photographs of luxury cars and real estate properties Manafort bought with his Ukrainian income.
"It's all documented," said Nick Akerman, a former Watergate prosecutor who is now a partner at the Dorsey & Whitney law firm. "You have lots and lots of exhibits that show wire transfers, bank accounts, monies that go into those bank accounts. There is going to be exhibits showing what he used the money for — to buy various properties and luxury goods."
The special counsel has also enlisted as many as 35 witnesses to testify against Manafort. They include accountants, financial advisers, tax preparers and real estate agents.
But prosecutors' star witness is likely to be Gates, who worked closely with Manafort in Ukraine and later followed him into Trump's campaign as deputy chairman.
Gates was named as a co-defendant in the initial indictment handed down against Manafort last October. But when the special counsel hit the two men with a second indictment in February, Gates pleaded guilty to two lesser counts in exchange for cooperation.
Manafort remained defiant, vowing to fight the charges. Still, the prospect of a conviction on the 32-count indictment and spending the rest of his life in prison could change his defense strategy, according to legal experts.
"The depth of the charges against Paul Manafort is such that at some point, the best decision for him will be to try to cut a deal," said Lisa Griffin, a former federal prosecutor who is now a law professor at Duke University.
But Manafort doesn't appear to have "valuable enough information to make these charges go away altogether," Griffin said.
Short of an acquittal, the best hope for Manafort to avoid jail time remains a presidential pardon. Trump has given no indication that he'll pardon his former campaign chairman.
But even a presidential pardon may not help. Legal experts say Manafort can be indicted in state court for many of the same crimes for which he's been charged by the special counsel.
"It probably won't do him much good because he has all these money laundering charges against him, which could be charged against him in New York state," Akerman said.
"He'd be in worse position than he was when he started," Akerman said. "The choice there is serving time in a New York state prison like Rikers Island, as opposed to a plush federal prison."
With Trump frequently calling the Mueller investigation a "witch hunt," the outcome of Manafort's trial one way or another could determine the probe's credibility. If Manafort is acquitted, "it will benefit President Trump tremendously, because it will cast into doubt all of the legitimacy of the process that is occurring," said Joshua Dressler, a professor of criminal law and criminal procedure at Ohio State University. On the other hand, if he is convicted, it will "demonstrate to the public that President Trump's claims that the whole investigation is a witch hunt is not an accurate accusation," Dressler said." https://www.voanews.com/a/former-trump-campaign-chair-goes-on-trial/4506379.html
It's impossible that Manafort be acquitted! But, VOA is under Trump's administration now, though it has mostly remained bravely independent, the influence is often visible.

Bill Christie came to Kansas City to attend Mid-America Nazarene College (now MNU) way back in the late 1970s. As a way to pay the college bills, Bill began working as a siding and window installer. It would turn out that exterior remodeling would become much more than a part-time college job!
Bill decided rather quickly that he wanted to launch his own business, and by the early 1980s, Bill had established Johnson County Siding & Window Co., Inc.
Bill wanted his exterior company to be different than the typical contractor. He knew the reputation many siding and window companies had for high-pressure sales and a 'fast and cheap' mentality when it came to selecting and installing products.
Bill went in the opposite direction. He would respect his customers by educating them about quality products instead of pressuring them. He committed to installing top-quality, low-maintenance vinyl and fiber cement siding solutions as well as replacement windows and doors for Kansas City.
He later expanded his product line offering stucco and stone as the exterior remodeling industry developed new trends combining colors, styles, and different cladding materials to create a "WOW" exterior.
As the business has grown, Bill has never forgotten the humble beginnings and his original commitment to an honest sales process and quality products.
Johnson County Siding & Window Co., Inc. is a truly family-owned and run business. Bill is President & CEO and his wife, Teresa, is marketing director. Their son, Justin, is the head of sales and is the next generation ready to carry on our tradition of quality and 100% customer satisfaction.
Family matters here at Johnson County Siding & Window Co., Inc. The Christies have always seen themselves as a family serving other families in the community and that's the heartbeat of the business. They've never lost sight of the importance of family and home in their own life, which makes them recognize that it's a privilege to work on another family's home.
Bill & Teresa have been here in the Kansas City area for almost a half century now and have raised their own family here. Justin is prepared to continue the family legacy for decades more.
Bill's credentials include: Johnson County Class A Contractor's License, James Hardie Preferred Siding Contractor, Marvin Authorized Replacement Contractor,Mastic Elite Contractor, and Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) Certified Installer.


Following last month's announcement of their place on this year's line-up, The Chemical Brothers have shared more details regarding their Glastonbury Festival return later this summer.
Speaking to Dummy ahead of tomorrow's release of their new album 'No Geography' (April 12th), the tech duo confirmed they'd be playing the second day of this year's Worthy Farm extravaganza. "We're playing the Saturday night – party night – and it's just a fantastic place to play for us." they said, when discussing their Glastonbury affections. "We used to go down with our tent and camp and there's just one place where everyone used to hang out and definitely have good memories, and I find it exciting checking out the new things, Block9 – there's always something to discover there. We're playing in Cornwall the night before so it'll be nice to arrive once everyone's calmed down a little bit" they added.
The Chemicals are just one of the many acts announced so far for 2019's Glastonbury – last month's initial line-up saw the dance duo added to a list which included the likes of Janet Jackson, Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala and Little Simz. Since then, Lucy Rose and The Mavericks have gone on record to self-confirm their place at the festival.

Q: Why does GotFocus event keep deleting itself from Designer? I wanted to add a GotFocus event to a Windows Forms Textbox, so I used the method described in this question; it works, but after I run my application a couple of times the piece of code deletes itself and I don't know why.
This is the code that keeps deleting itself:
txtID.GotFocus += txtID_GotFocus;

A: Surely it's another evidence about why you should not touch designer generated code and should pay attention to this warning: do not modify the contents of this method with the code editor.
As a workaround use Enter event instead (which is recommended). Also you can assign the handler in your Load event of form.
EDIT
The reason is correctly mentioned by nikita, it's because you didn't use designer conventions. For more information see his answer.

A: It disappears because you don't use conventions that are used by WinForms designer when you add event handlers.
It doesn't matter whether you use GotFocus or Enter event. If you (in your Designer.cs) manually add event handler this way:
txtID.Enter += txtID_Enter;

then it would always disappear from designer next time you move control on designer surface.
You must add event handlers this way:
txtID.GotFocus += new System.EventHandler(txtID_Focus);
txtID.Enter += new System.EventHandler(txtID_Enter);

and nothing would disappear because it's the way designer expects code to be.

L'affaire Bruno Cholet est une affaire criminelle française dans laquelle Susanna Zetterberg, une étudiante suédoise âgée de 19 ans, a été enlevée le  à Paris et tuée par Bruno Cholet, criminel multirécidiviste français.

Biographies
Bruno Cholet est né le  à Épernay dans la Marne, de père inconnu, et d'une mère aide-soignante dans une clinique privée, devenue serveuse. Comme il le rappelle à l'enquêteur social, son enfance n'a pas été facile. Très vite, il enchaîne vols, violences et fugues.

Alors qu'il est âgé d'onze ans, les psychologues de l'Institut médico-pédagogique (IMP) de Senlis eurent un désagréable pressentiment à son égard et le notèrent dans leur rapport. Deux ans plus tard, il est placé à plusieurs reprises en maison d'enfants, chez une nourrice puis en service neuropsychiatrique, dans un institut de rééducation spécialisé.

Dès , alors qu'il n'avait que vingt ans et est apprenti coiffeur, il est condamné une première fois par les tribunaux. Lors de son arrestation en 2008, son casier judiciaire portera la mention de onze condamnations dont neuf fois à des peines correctionnelles variant de trois mois à trois ans d'emprisonnement, principalement pour des vols aggravés et des escroqueries. Mais il a surtout été condamné par des cours d'assises pour viol.

Ainsi, les assises des Yvelines le condamnent une première fois en 1978 à six ans d'emprisonnement pour viol et vols aggravés sur une jeune femme de vingt-six ans.

En 1989, la même cour d'assises lui inflige une seconde fois dix-huit ans de réclusion criminelle assortie d'une période de sûreté de douze ans pour avoir violé deux fois une adolescente qu'il avait enlevée sous la menace d'une arme.

Il était surnommé le faux taxi. Le 14 septembre 2012, Bruno Cholet est condamné par la cour d'assises de Paris à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité.

Déjà condamné en 1978 pour le viol d'une jeune femme de 26 ans mais jamais suivi psychologiquement, l'homme n'en est pas à sa première bévue dans son faux taxi. En 2014, lors du procès en appel de Cholet, la jeune Héléna Perez, 32 ans, racontera avoir la peur de sa vie après être montée dans la voiture de Cholet :

Affaire Bruno Cholet, course vers la mort en faux taxi
Susanna Zetterberg, surnommée « Sanna » par ses proches, est suédoise et étudiante à la Sorbonne. Elle travaille comme baby-sitter tout en étant serveuse à l'Alto Café. Elle est jugée jolie, dynamique, sympathique, intelligente et gentille.

Le , à la sortie de « La Scala », une boîte de nuit de la rue de Rivoli à Paris, peu avant cinq heures du matin, Susanna Zetterberg est prise en charge avec un faux taxi conduit par Bruno Cholet.

Le corps de la jeune femme, à demi calciné, est découvert quelques heures plus tard en bordure de la forêt de Chantilly dans l'Oise, avec quatre balles dans la tête et les mains menottées. L'état de son cadavre n'a pas permis d'établir si la victime a subi des violences sexuelles.

Bruno Cholet, alors âgé de 51 ans, est interpellé six jours après le meurtre aux abords du Bois de Boulogne, où les policiers qui le suivent l'ont vu pénétrer et récupérer un sac plastique. Des images de vidéosurveillance l'ayant enregistré en train de tenter de retirer de l'argent à un distributeur avec une carte bancaire de la victime le matin de sa disparition, et ses précédentes condamnations pour exercice illégal de l'activité de taxi ont en effet conduit les enquêteurs jusqu'à lui.

Un sac plastique portant la mention « Susanna 377 » et contenant des menottes et un pistolet de calibre 22, avec des traces d'ADN correspondant à celui de la victime sont retrouvés lors de la perquisition de son monospace blanc.

Les experts qualifient Cholet de « pervers » et de « psychopathe » ne souffrant cependant pas de maladie psychique. Cholet dit qu'il est victime d'un complot fomenté par des policiers, car il aurait refusé de leur servir d'indicateur.

Procès et condamnation
Le , le procès de Bruno Cholet débute à la cour d'assises de Paris. Sa défense est assurée par les avocats Luc Ravaz et Aurélie Cerceau.

Le , Cholet est condamné à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité, assortie d'une période de sûreté de 22 ans. Il fait appel de cette décision.

Le , le procès en appel de Bruno Cholet débute à la cour d'assises de Seine-et-Marne à Melun.

Héléna Perez témoigne avoir été prise en charge par inadvertance en  par le faux taxi de Bruno Cholet. Celui-ci avait alors verrouillé les portières de son véhicule lorsque sa passagère s'était aperçue qu'il ne possédait pas de compteur horokilométrique. L'homme qui portait, selon la jeune femme, des gants noirs et était en possession d'un pic à glace, relâcha cette dernière saine et sauve, mais néanmoins effrayée, à Vincennes, après avoir effectué avec elle le tour de la capitale. Cholet prétendra par la suite que Héléna Perez avait probablement confondu un pic à glace avec un stylet informatique qu'il utilisait pour son GPS.

Le , Cholet est condamné à la même peine qu'au premier procès : la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité assortie d'une période de sûreté de 22 ans.

En 2018, Bruno Cholet a passé plus de la moitié de sa vie en prison. Il est décédé le  à Pierre Bénite.

Personal health records, what's next?
Personal health records are in the spotlight at center stage now that two technology giants—Microsoft and Google—have both launched high-profile projects to support PHRs. The debate on what long-term role — if any — PHRs will play in improving the quality of health care while cutting costs is intensifying. Some observers suggest all the hype about PHRs is extremely premature, given that the vast majority of doctors' offices don't yet have their own patients' records automated. PHR proponents, however, say consumers are demanding better access to data, and even a partial PHR is better than nothing.
Privacy advocates are declaring "not so fast" as they point out that Microsoft, Google and a growing list of other technology vendors are not "covered entities" under HIPAA and thus cannot be held accountable for complying with this federal law's data privacy and security rules. They are cautioning consumers to take an extremely close look before they leap into PHRs from these vendors.
Sermo, a fastest-growing community created by physicians, for physicians.
Sermo is Latin for conversation. Here, physicians aggregate observations from their daily practice and then - rapidly and in large numbers - challenge or corroborate each others opinions, accelerating the emergence of trends and new insights on medications, devices and treatments. You can then apply the collective knowledge to achieve better outcomes for your patients.
Gain insights from colleagues as they happen instead of waiting to read about them through conventional sources; discuss your new clinical findings, report unusual events, and work together to dramatically impact patient care.
Healthy conversation? for a healthier you, a healthier family and a healthier community.
This is how it works. Through a simple conversation, Sprigley learns about you and thousands like you. Sprigley pools what it learns to help you and to help others. The more you talk with Sprigley, the more Sprigley can help you and help others. Sprigley turns these conversations into personalized information and customized resources. Knowledge you can use today. Make better decisions. Accomplish your own goals. Help others.
How Effective is an RFP (Request for Proposal) when Selecting an EMR System?
In theory, the RFP sounds like a good idea for a medical practice to 'sort out' 3 or 4 short listed vendors who may be in the running to provide a system to that practice. However, how does a busy physician create an RFP that is meaningful and will provide the ability to compare apples with apples when making the short list decision? Does the average physician who is seeking an EMR have the ability to read the RFPs and interpret the answers appropriately? How many RFP responses (of multiple 100s of pages) are simply scanned and set aside as the physician looks for easier ways to identify a potential EMR vendor?
Open source software benefits professionals in all industries: government, Internet, business, education, and even health care. Expensive software and subscriptions for anti virus systems, supporting electronic medical records and even phone or e-mail communications can put on a strain on small clinics as well as larger hospitals. Open source tools are free, highly customizable, and secure enough to handle the sensitive data that medical professionals often work with.
Would you encourage your children to become doctors?
No one ever said being a doctor was easy. School and training go on seemingly forever; once graduation arrives, doctors work long hours and are faced with life-and-death decisions daily. But there were rewards. For decades, doctors earned hefty paychecks, had autonomy and respect. But those benefits are fading, and as a result, so is the number of doctors. Within the next 15 years, the United States will experience a shortage of between 90,000 to 200,000 physicians, according to the recently published "Will the Last Physician in America Please Turn Off the Lights: A Look at America's Looming Doctor Shortage".
Researchers at McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) have performed the world's first totally automated administration of an anesthetic. Nicknamed "McSleepy," the new system developed by the researchers administers drugs for general anesthesia and monitors their separate effects completely automatically, with no manual intervention. "We have been working on closed-loop systems, where drugs are administered, their effects continuously monitored, and the doses are adjusted accordingly, for the last five years," said Dr. Thomas M. Hemmerling of McGill's Department of Anesthesia and the Montreal General Hospital, who heads ITAG (Intelligent Technology in Anesthesia research group), a team of anesthesiologists, biomedical scientists and engineers. "Think of "McSleepy" as a sort of humanoid anesthesiologist that thinks like an anesthesiologist, analyses biological information and constantly adapts its own behavior, even recognizing monitoring malfunction."
Canadian healthcare IT leaders have formed a task force to accelerate and promote the transition to a new set of pan-Canadian health information technology standards. The task force, made up of representatives from Canada Health Infoway, the Canadian Healthcare Information Technology Trade Association and the Association of Health Technology Industry will work to promote the adoption of pan-Canadian standards, especially with point-of-service systems, by engaging clinicians, healthcare providers and vendors. Officials from all stakeholder groups said collaborative planning is required to ensure the interoperable electronic health record is leveraged and the adoption of pan-Canadian standards is accelerated.
The Doctor's Channel (www.thedoctorschannel.com) is a Web site that allows doctors to learn from each other – fast.

Butenolide derivatives from the fungus Aspergillus terreus and their radical scavenging activity and protective activity against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity
Hahk-Soo Kang1 &
Jong-Pyung Kim2
The organic extract of cultured Aspergillus terreus displayed scavenging activity against ABTS•+ and DPPH free radicals, and protective activity against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in N18-RE-105 neuroblastoma-retina hybrid cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the active organic extract led to the isolation of total six butenolide derivatives, including one new metabolite, named butyroscavin (1), and five previously described metabolites, butyrolactones I (2), II (3), III (4), and VII (5), and aspernolide E (6). The planar structure of butyroscavin (1) was determined by the analysis of spectroscopic data including ESIMS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry), and 1D and 2D NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). The absolute configuration of butyroscavin (1) was assigned by comparison of the specific rotation with those of known compounds that share the same chiral carbon. All isolated compounds were active in the radical scavenging assay, whereas only butyrolactones I (2) and VII (5) exhibited protective activity against the glutamate-induced excitotoxicity with the EC50 of 130.1 and 91.9 μM, respectively.
High glutamate concentration in the synaptic cleft can cause excitotoxicity in neurons that has been known to be one of the major mechanisms of neurodegeneration in progressive neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease [4]. Underlying molecular mechanism of excitotoxicity involves excessive generation of reactive oxygen species in hyperexcited neurons [1]. This suggests that the administration of antioxidants could be effective in slowing the progression of neurological disorders by protecting neurons from oxidative damages [9, 12]. As a part of our ongoing effort to search for neuroprotective metabolites from natural sources, we screened our library of fungal extracts for antioxidant activity as well as protective activity against the glutamate induced excitotoxicity, and the extract of the cultured Aspergillus terreus exhibited significant activities in our screening. Thus, bioassay-guided fractionation was performed to identify active metabolites from the active extract. Here, we report the isolation of six butenolide derivatives from the culture of a soil fungus A. terreus that include one new metabolite, named butyroscavin (1), and five previously reported metabolites, butyrolactones I (2) [8], II (3) [10], III (4) [10] and VII (5) [5] and aspernolide E (6) [6].
General experimental procedures
UV (Ultraviolet) spectra was acquired on a Pharmacia Biotech Ultrospec 3000 UV/Visible spectrometer. Shimadzu 8400 s FT-IR spectrometer was used to obtain FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectra. 1D and 2D NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectra of all isolated compounds were obtained using a Varian INOVA-400 NMR spectrometer. MeOH-d4 was used as a solvent for all NMR experiments, and signals were referenced against solvent signals. Finnigan Navigator 30086 and a JMS-700 MSTATION high-resolution mass spectrometer systems were used to acquire low resolution ESIMS (electrospray ionization) and high resolution EIMS (electron ionization) spectra, respectively. All preparative HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) experiments were performed using a Waters HPLC system equipped with a Waters 996 photodiode array detector using a reversed-phase column (J'sphere ODS-H80, 150 × 20 mm, 4 μm, YMC Co.).
Extraction and isolation
The fungus A. terreus was acquired from the KRIBB microbial culture collection (Deposit No. KCTC 08095BP). For seed culture, the spores were inoculated into 150 ml YM liquid media (0.3% yeast extract, 0.3% malt extract, 0.5% tryptone, and 1% glucose) and cultured for three days at 28 °C with shaking (147 rpm). Three milliliter of the seed culture was used for the inoculation into each fresh 150 mL YM media. Total 1.5 L (10 × 150 mL) culture was incubated in the same condition as those used for the seed culture. For compound isolation, the cultures were harvested and separated between mycelium and broth by filtration using the Whatman filter paper. The mycelium was extracted with 80% aqueous acetone overnight and dried in vacuo. The mycelium extract was combined back with the broth, and then the mixture was extracted stepwise with hexane, CHCl3 (chloroform), EtOAc (ethylaceate) and BuOH (buthanol). Compound isolation was guided by radical scavenging activity against both ABTS•+ and DPPH radicals. The EtOAc layer showed the highest activity in both assays, and was thus fractionated by silica column chromatography with a solvent gradient (CHCl3:MeOH) from 50:1 to 1:1. Active fractions were combined, and then further subjected to a Sephadex LH-20 size exclusion column chromatography eluting with MeOH. Lastly, reversed-phase HPLC (flow rate 7.0 ml/min) of the active fractions using the C18 column (cosmosil, 5C18-MS-II column, 150 × 20 mm) and 45% aqueous ACN (acetonitrile) led to the isolation of pure compounds 1 (25.2 mg), 2 (76.5 mg), 3 (103.2 mg), 4 (5.6 mg), 5 (20.9 mg), and 6 (19.5 mg).
Structural elucidation of compound 1
Butyroscavin (1). Yellow, amorphous powder; [α]20D + 49.41 (c 0.5, MeOH); UV (MeOH) λmax (log ε) 203.7 (4.54) and 305.8 (4.18) nm; IR (KBr) 3366, 1739, 1610, 1515, and 1442 cm−1; 1H and 13C NMR data, see Table 1; ESIMS (negative ion mode) m/z 369.5 [M-H]−; HREIMS m/z 370.1065 [M]+ (calcd. for C20H18O7, 370.1053).
Table 1 NMR data for butyroscavin (1)
Radical scavenging activity assay
Radical scavenging activity of the crude extracts as well as pure compounds was evaluated using stable ABTS•+ [15] and DPPH [7] free radicals. α-Tocopherol, BHA (Butylated hydroxanisole), and Trolox were used as reference compounds. Reference and test compounds were dissolved in DMSO at various concentrations. ABTS•+ radical scavenging activity was measured using the method previously published [15]. ABTS•+ free radicals were produced by combining 7.0 mM ABTS and 2.45 mM potassium persulfate solutions. The ABTS•+ free radical solution was diluted with water to an absorbance of 0.7 ± 0.025 at 734 nm, and then 190 μL of the solution was mixed with 10 μL of each test compound in DMSO. After 7 min, the absorbance was recorded at 734 nm. For the DPPH assay, 150 μL of a 0.15 mM DPPH solution in EtOH was mixed with 10 μL of each test compound in DMSO. The reaction mixtures were left at room temperature for 10 min, and then absorbance was measured at 517 nm on an ELISA plate reader.
The radical activity was expressed as a percentage activity using the following equation:
$${\text{Scavenging activity }}\left( \% \right) \, = \, \left( { 1 { }{-}{\text{ A}}_{\text{test}} /{\text{ A}}_{\text{control}} } \right) \, \times { 1}00$$
where Atest is the absorbance of a sample at a given concentration, and Acontrol is the absorbance recorded for a blank (DMSO). EC50 is defined as the concentration of a sample that causes 50% loss of the ABTS•+ and DPPH radicals.
Glutamate induced excitotoxicity assay
Protective activity against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity was evaluated using N18-RE-105 neuroblastoma-retina hybrid cells [2]. The cells were propagated at 37 °C in high glucose DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's) medium containing 9.7% FBS (fetal bovine serum), 4.8% Horse Serum, 1.9% HAT (hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine) and 0.1% Sodium bicarbonate at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells growing in log phase were collected by trypsinization. Then, a total of 50,000 cells were seeded onto each well of a 96-well plate and incubated overnight at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Samples dissolved in DMSO were sequentially diluted with phosphate buffered saline, and added to appropriate wells together with the 400 mM glutamate solution (7 μL of each). The cells were incubated for 24 h, and the cell viability was measured using EZ-cytox Cell Viability Kit (DoGen). Briefly, each well was added with 10 μL of the Ez-cytox solution and incubated for 3 h. Then, 70 μL of the supernatant in each well was transferred to a new 96 well plate, and the absorbance was recorded at 450 nm. The protective activity was evaluated using the following equation:
$${\text{Protective activity }}\left( \% \right) \, = \, \left( {{\text{A}}_{\text{glutamate and sample}} {-}{\text{ A}}_{\text{glutamte}} } \right)/\left( {{\text{A}}_{\text{no treatment}} {-}{\text{ A}}_{\text{glutamate}} } \right) \, \times { 1}00$$
where Aglutamate and sample is the absorbance of cells treated with both glutamate and sample at a given concentration, Aglutamte is the absorbance for cells treated with only glutamate, Ano treatment is the absorbance for cells with no treatment, and Aglutamate is the absorbance for cells treated with only glutamate. EC50 is defined as the concentration of a sample that exhibited 50% cell viability compared to that of the positive control (cells with no treatment).
Bioassay-guided fractionation
For compound isolation, the fungus A. terreus was cultured in 1 L scale, and the culture was harvested after three days. The mycelium, separated from the broth by filtration, was extracted with 80% aqueous acetone overnight, dried in vacuo and combined with the broth again. The combined mixture of mycelium and broth was extracted stepwise with hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and buthanol (BuOH). The EtOAc extract displayed the highest radical scavenging activity, and thus fractionated using a silica column chromatography eluting with chloroform/methanol (CHCl3/MeOH) gradient from 50:1 to 1:1. Active silica fractions were further separated by a Sephadex LH-20 size exclusion column chromatography eluting with MeOH. Final purification of active fractions was achieved using reversed-phase HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography), yielding six pure compounds (compounds 1–6). In the ESIMS analysis, the molecular weights of compounds 2–6 were identical to those of previously reported butenolide derivatives. Detailed comparison of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra with those of known butenolide derivatives confirmed that compounds 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were butyrolactones I, II, III and VII, and aspernolide E, respectively. Although the physical property of compound 1 was nearly identical to those of compounds 2–6, the molecular weight of 1 did not match with that of any known butenolide derivative, suggesting 1 to be a potentially new butenolide derivative (Fig. 1). Thus, the structure determination of 1 was carried out using combination of spectroscopic methods including the HREIMS, and 1D and 2D NMR (Fig. 2).

Butyroscavin (1) was isolated as a yellow, amorphous powder. The HREIMS spectrum of 1 exhibited a molecular ion peak at m/z 370.1065, suggesting a molecular formula as C20H18O7 (calcd. 370.1053). The 1H NMR spectrum of 1 (MeOH-d4) indicated the presence of four aromatic protons (δH 7.60, 6.87, 6.64 and 6.51), two methylene protons (δH 4.25 and 3.42), and one methyl protons (δH 1.21). The 13C NMR spectrum in combination with HMQC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation) indicated the presence of two carbonyl (δC 169.8 and 169.6), ten olefinic (δC 158.2, 156.3, 138.6, 131.3, 129.2, 128.0, 124.1, 121.9, 115.4 and 114.4), one oxygenated quaternary (δC 85.7), two methylene (δC 62.5, and 38.3), and one methyl (δC 13.0) carbons. Four aromatic doublet proton signals that each integrate as two protons indicated the presence of two symmetric 1,4-disubstituted benzene rings. The carbon chemical shifts of C-4′ (δC 158.2) and C-4″ (δC 156.3) together with HMBC correlations from H-2′ (δH 7.60) to C-4′ (δC 158.2), and from H-2″ (δH 6.64) to C-4″ (δC 156.3) determined one of the substitutions as hydroxyl groups in both of the benzene rings. HMBC correlation from H-2′ (δH 7.60) to C-3 (δC 128.0) suggested that one of the benzene rings is connected to an olefinic carbon. A methylene substitution in another benzene ring was inferred by HMBC correlations from H-5 (δH 3.42) to C-1″ (δC 124.1) and C-2″ (δC 131.3), and an HMBC correlation from H-5 (δH 3.42) to C-4 (δC 85.7) connected the methylene to an oxygenated quaternary carbon. Although direct connection between the two benzene rings could not be achieved by HMBC correlations, three broad signals that account for one carbonyl, and two olefinic carbons were observed in the 13C NMR spectrum, suggesting the presence of a butenolide core structure in 1. This was further supported by the fact that many butenolide derivatives have been isolated from the fungus A. terreus [11, 13, 14]. Detailed comparison of the NMR spectra of 1 with those of previously reported butenolide derivatives from A. terreus suggested that the structure of 1 is similar to that of butyrolactone II [10, 14]. However, the methoxy signals were absent in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 1. COSY correlation between oxygenated methylene (H2-7: δH 4.25) and methyl (H3-8: δH 1.21) protons, and HMBC correlation from H2-7 (δH 4.25) to C-6 (δC 169.8) indicated that the methoxy group in butyrolactone II was replaced with an ethoxy group in 1, completing the planar structure of 1. The compound 1 possessed one chiral carbon (C-4), and thus the absolute configuration of C-4 was determined by comparing the specific rotation with those of structurally related butenolide derivatives possessing the same chiral carbon. A positive specific rotation (+49°) observed for 1 indicated the absolute configuration of 1 to be the same as those of other known butenolide derivatives such as butyrolactones I (+100°), II (+85°) and III (+80°) [8, 10].
Biological activities of isolated compounds
All the isolated butenolide derivatives were evaluated for their radical scavenging activities as well as protective activity against glutamate induced excitotoxicity. First, radical scavenging activity was tested using DPPH and ABTS•+ free radicals, and expressed as the amount of compound necessary to decrease the initial radical concentration by 50% (EC50 in μM). All tested compounds displayed moderate scavenging activities in both assays with EC50 values of 20–70 μM against the DPPH radical, and 4–25 μM against the ABTS•+ radical (Table 2). It has been previously reported that the prenylation of flavonoids increase their antioxidant activities [3]. Therefore, higher radical scavenging activities observed for compounds 2 and 5 in both assays could be attributed to the presence of a prenyl moiety in their structures. Next, we evaluated the protective activity against glutamate induced excitotoxicity for all isolated compounds using N18-RE-105 cells. Among six compounds tested, only compounds 2 and 5 exhibited a protective activity with the EC50 values of 91.9 μM and 130.1 μM, respectively. Although all six compounds were active in radical scavenging activity assay, only compounds 2 and 5 that contain a prenyl group on the benzene ring exhibited activity in the cell line assay. This is probably due to their higher radical scavenging activity compared to other compounds, and also an increase in lipophilicity as the attachment of a prenyl moiety would increase overall hydrophobicity of molecules.

Recently, Samsung announced flagship Exynos 9820 SoC based on 8nm LPP FinFET process. A few days ago, the company also launched World's first quad camera smartphone. One of most anticipated Samsung's flagship smartphone Galaxy S10 could launch early next year with three variants most probably. Two handsets could come with curved infinity 5.8-inch and the Galaxy S10+ could sport a 6.44-inch AMOLED edge-to-edge display, while the third one could sport a flat 5.8-inch AMOLED screen. The leaker Ben Geskin has already revealed some concept images and a few clues.
The device should launch with three international models such as SM-G970F, SM-G973F, and SM-G975F. So, the most probably Samsung Galaxy S10 with the model number SM-G970F will have basically a flat Infinity-O display, a side-mounted Fingerprint Scanner, dual rear camera set up. The handset could come with a 4GB/6GB of RAM and the 64GB/128GB internal storage variant initially. Mr. Ben Geskin also mentioned that the phone could be powered by flagship octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC or Snapdragon 8150 chipset. The expected price of this device should start from $650 up to $750 to compete with OnePlus 6T directly.
According to the PhoneArena, Samsung recently unveiled four new infinity display devices. One is purely bezel-less, one with a camera cut-out, and rest of the two with a notch design. While the Infinity-O display seems quite beautiful and unique in terms of the design and bigger display area. In this situation, the display will be a completely bezel-less and notch-less where the selfie camera will be placed under the infinity display. Now some of the concept creators are playing with this design and managed to place the camera cut-out to upper left or upper right side from the normal position.
The tech leaker Evan Blass, normally known as @evleaks mentioned, this time Samsung Galaxy S10 will use the Infinity-O display which has a camera cut-out, Ultrasonic In-Display Fingerprint Scanner, triple rear cameras with variable apertures (standard/wide/telephoto), and it will run on Android 9 Pie over One UI skin out of the box. While the Galaxy S10+ handset is rumored to come with dual selfie shooters with a curved AMOLED 6.44-inch display.
So, there is no exact confirmation available yet officially. Please note that all of these above-mentioned details could be different from the actual. But the leaks and expectations will definitely turn out true up to some extent. Now we have to wait for more leaks and reports till official announcement to know better about this upcoming device. If the Samsung Galaxy S10 will feature Infinity-O display and come with a camera cut-out only, then it will change the idea of camera slider and the motorized module in future.

I'm not a graphic designer by any means. I'm just a lover of fonts.
That's why it's taken awhile for me to develop a logo within my skill set that satisfied my inner typeface geek.
I like it! It's easy to read and I love the tagline. Kind of describes me too lol.
I like it a lot. Looks very "you," I think. The tagline is great too.

The Female Boss
Liberty, in philosophy, involves free will as contrasted with determinism. In politics, liberty consists of the social and political freedoms enjoyed by all citizens. In theology, liberty is freedom from the bondage of sin. Generally, liberty seems to be distinct from freedom in that freedom concerns itself primarily, if not exclusively, with the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; whereas liberty also takes into account the rights of all involved. As such, liberty can be thought of as freedom limited by rights, and therefore cannot be abused.
Philosophers from earliest times have considered the question of liberty. Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD) wrote of "a polity in which there is the same law for all, a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed." According to Thomas Hobbes, "a free man is he that in those things which by his strength and wit he is able to do is not hindered to do what he hath the will to do" (Leviathan, Part 2, Ch. XXI).

Freedom is a borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States, along the Ohio River 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Pittsburgh. In the early years of the twentieth century, the chief industries were the production of oil, caskets, and monuments. In 1900, 1,783 people lived in Freedom; in 1910, 3,060 people lived there. The population was 1,569 at the 2010 census.
In 1824, the Harmony Society returned to Pennsylvania, from Indiana. The society settled in what is now Ambridge, Pennsylvania, five miles (8 km) up the Ohio River. One of the reasons the society left Indiana was because of harassment for their abolitionist activities. Their settlement was in Beaver County along the Ohio River. There they founded "Ökonomie," now better known as Old Economy Village. Here the Society gained worldwide recognition for its religious devotion and economic prosperity.
The Harmonites were abolitionists, and began placing signs along the Ohio River with one word, "FREEDOM".

The Female Boss is the debut studio album by British singer and former N-Dubz member Tulisa. It was released on 3 December 2012 via All Around the World and Island Records. The album's artwork was revealed on 6 October 2012 via Tulisa's official Facebook page. The Female Boss originally was to be released on 26 November but was pushed back by one week. It incorporates hip hop, dance and R&B styles while enlisting a variety of producers; The-Dream, Fazer, Stereotypes, Rico Love, Diane Warren and Ed White, among others. The album features guests appearances from British rapper Wiley, American rapper Tyga and Nines. Three singles preceded the album's release; the lead single "Young" peaked at number 1 while "Live It Up" and "Sight of You" peaked within the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart.
Upon its release, The Female Boss has received generally negative reviews from most music critics, with many critics panning the themes, intro of the album, production and some lyrical content, while some critics felt the dance songs were highlights. Commercially, the album opened with poor sales, debuting at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart and number 55 in Ireland.

The attorneys at Manly, Stewart & Finaldi have filed a lawsuit on behalf of a second victim of Father Michael Kelly, a former priest of the Diocese of Stockton in California. The victim, known in court documents as John CC Doe, alleges that he was sexually molested as a child by Father Michael Kelly. The Plaintiff states that the Diocese of Stockton knew that Father Kelly had a history of sexually abusing children, and yet not only failed to inform the police, but failed to take any actions to prevent Father Kelly from abusing more children.
This is the second lawsuit alleging that the Diocese of Stockton acted recklessly in allowing Father Kelly, a known child molester, to remain in ministry. The first lawsuit was settled by the Diocese in April of 2012.

What would it take to restore the legendary Chinook salmon?
Giant Chinook salmon of 50 pounds or more have not yet faded into legend, as operators of a salmon hatchery in Central British Columbia, Canada, can tell you.
Ted Walkus, a hereditary chief of the Wuikinuxv First Nation, holds a Chinook salmon caught this year for the Percy Walkus Hatchery on the Wannock River in Central British Columbia.

The annual spawning effort at the Percy Walkus Hatchery on the Wannock River involves catching Chinook as they move upstream rather than waiting for them to arrive at the hatchery. This year, fishing crews brought home a remarkably large fish that has lived long and prospered. The progeny of this fish will be returned to the river from the hatchery to continue the succession of large Chinook.
These big fish compare to the massive Chinook that once made their way up the Elwha River and other major salmon streams of Puget Sound. Knowing that these big fish still exist provides hope that we might someday see such large salmon on the Elwha, following the recent removal of two dams and ongoing habitat restoration.
Large, powerful Chinook are suited to large, powerful streams. Big chinook can fight their way through swifter currents, jump up larger waterfalls and protect their eggs by laying deeper redds. Experts aren't sure that the conditions are right for large Chinook to return to the Elwha, but many are hopeful. I explored this idea in a story I wrote for the Kitsap Sun in 2010.
As for the two-year-old Percy Walkus Hatchery, big fish are not uncommon in the Wannock River, as you can see in the hatchery's Facebook photo gallery. By spawning both large and smaller salmon, the hatchery hopes to rebuild the once-plentiful numbers of Chinook in the system. Involved in the project are the Wuikinuxv First Nation along with Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans and others.
Ted Walkus, a hereditary chief of the Wuikinuxv and the man featured in the photo on this page, said the largest fish need to remain part of the gene pool for the hatchery and the river. That's why volunteers go out into the river to take the brood stock. This year, 47 males and 47 females were spawned to produce more than 300,000 fertilized eggs.
"If you catch a 60-pound salmon and you keep it without breeding, that part of the gene pool eventually gets wiped out," Walkus was quoted as saying in a CBC News report.
For similar reasons, some anglers choose to release their catch alive, if possible, after getting a photo of their big fish. The hope, of course, is that the fish will continue on and spawn naturally. In the hatchery, the genes will be passed on to more salmon when the progeny are released. Unfortunately, I was unable to quickly locate a facility management plan for the Percy Walkus Hatchery to see if anyone has projected the long-term effects of the hatchery.

Big fish are genetically inclined to stay at sea five, six or seven years rather than returning after four years. They must avoid being caught in fishing nets and on fishing lines during their migration of up to 1,000 miles or more before making it back home to spawn.
Perhaps you've seen historical black-and-white photos of giant Chinook salmon taken near the mouth of the Elwha River. Like the giant Chinook of the Wannock River, some of these fish are nearly as long as a grown man is tall. Catching them with rod and reel must be a thrill of a lifetime.
Some of those giants — or at least their genes — may still be around. The largest Chinook caught and officially weighed in Washington state dates back to 1964. The 70-pound monster was caught off Sekiu by Chester "Chet" Gausta of Poulsbo, who I wrote about upon his death in 2012. See Water Ways, Feb. 3, 2012. His photo is the second on this page.
There's something to be said for releasing salmon over a certain size, and that goes for commercial fishing as well as sport fishing. Gillnets, for example, target larger fish by using mesh of a certain size, say 5 inches. Smaller fish can get through the nets, spawn in streams and produce the next generation — of smaller fish.
The genetic effects of removing the larger fish along with the effects of taking fish during established fishing seasons artificially "selects" (as Darwin would say) for fish that are smaller and sometimes less fit. Some researchers are using the term "unnatural selection" to describe the long-term effects of fishing pressure. I intend to write more about this soon and also discuss some ideas for better managing the harvest to save the best fish for the future.

Final report issued on chinook-orca connection
The final report on how salmon fisheries may affect Puget Sound's endangered killer whale population has been released by a seven-member independent panel of U.S. and Canadian experts.

It appears that the findings of the report are substantially the same as what I reported in a Kitsap Sun story on May 6. If you haven't read the story, I think you will find all the comments interesting.
The next step will be for NOAA officials to issue recommendations from the report. In light of the findings and the uncertainty about the effects of reduced fishing, it seems likely that more studies will be proposed rather than an immediate adjustment to harvest.
I'll continue to follow this story through the public review process, which is planned for early next year. Updates and related documents can be found on NOAA's website.
The management plan for Puget Sound chinook fisheries will remain in effect through next year, after which time it will need to be updated in consultation between state and federal agencies. Chinook are a "threatened" species under the Endangered Species Act. See NOAA's webpage, "Puget Sound Chinook Resource Management Plan."

Das Deutsche Feuerwehr-Museum (DFM) in Fulda-Neuenberg zeigt auf 1.600 m² Ausstellungsfläche die Geschichte des deutschen Feuerlöschwesens. Träger ist das Deutsche Feuerwehr-Museum Fulda e. V. Das Museum wird jährlich von durchschnittlich 25.000 Personen besucht.

Geschichte und Beschreibung

Das Deutsche Feuerwehr-Museum im hessischen Fulda hat seinen Ursprung in der Gründung des Vereins Deutsches Feuerwehr-Museum Fulda e. V. am 9. Juni 1963. Im Jahr 1988 erfolgte der Umzug an den heutigen Standort, wo auf 1.600 m² Ausstellungsfläche die Geschichte des Feuerwehrlöschwesens vom Mittelalter bis in die heutige Zeit präsentiert wird. Gezeigt werden unter anderem Löschgeräte wie Ledereimer, Kastenspritzen, Pumpen, Drehleitern und Feuerwehrfahrzeuge, letztere von Magirus, Magirus-Deutz, Hanomag-Henschel, MAN und Mercedes-Benz. Die Großgeräte sind in Gruben aufgebaut, die von erhöhten "Bürgersteigen" umschlossen sind. Aufgrund dieser Darstellungsweise wird auch Kindern und Rollstuhlfahrern ermöglicht, alles gut sehen zu können.

Das Museum zeigt die Geschichte des Feuers, der Brandbekämpfung und des Brandschutzes nicht nur als ein Gebiet der Technikgeschichte, sondern auch als Teil der Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte. In Halle I befinden sich Exponate und ähnliches zur Geschichte des Feuers unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Brandbekämpfung und des Brandschutzes hauptsächlich aus der Zeit vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert. Halle II ist der Zeit seit dem 20. Jahrhundert gewidmet. Vor dem Museumseingang liegt ein kleiner Garten mit ausgewählten Pflanzen, die einen Bezug zum Thema Feuer haben.
Touristische Unterrichtungstafeln auf der Bundesautobahn 7 weisen auf das Feuerwehrmuseum hin.

Partnermuseen sind das Steirische Feuerwehrmuseum in Groß Sankt Florian, das Oberösterreichische Feuerwehrmuseum in St. Florian und die Vorarlberger Museumswelt in Frastanz. Dieses Museumsquartett zeichnet für die gemeinsame Entwicklung von FIAS (Feuerwehrhistorisches Inventarisierungs- und Archivierungs-System) verantwortlich.

As we await a verdict in a federal case, the venue brings to mind the fact that most people do not realize the unique perils of being interviewed by federal agents. It is a crime to tell a lie to any agent of federal government. The official report of the interview will be an FBI Form 302, which is an agent''s subjective report of the interview. Even a minor change you make in a later recollection of events, something we all do every day as we have conversations about past events, can subject you to a Section 1001 charge. You may be charged even if the government is not misled by the lie, if the lie is only to cover up an embarrassing fact unrelated to the investigation, and whether it comes in an informal interview or under oath.
Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 makes it a crime to: knowingly and willfully make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States. The lie does not have to be made to an employee of the government so long as it is "within the jurisdiction" of the (rather enormous) federal government. The falsehood must be "material" and this requirement is met if the statement has the "natural tendency to influence or [is] capable of influencing, the decision of the decision-making body to which it is addressed."
And to top off the absurdity: federal agents can lie to you during an interview. And that is no joke.
Easiest way to see federal agents wilt in bright sunlight is to agree to an interview-- but only if you are allowed to tape record the interview (caveat: do not tape conversations without permission as it may open other cans of worms). Typically, agents are instructed to not participate in recorded interviews, despite the overwhelming imbalance between the parties. A bit wimpy, in my opinion.
