The Blood of Fu Manchu / The Castle of Fu Manchu Blu-ray Review: Toppling Towers
The world hears from Christopher Lee's most infamous character again in Blue Underground's HD double feature of two cult collaborations from Jesus Franco and Harry Alan Towers.
By Luigi Bastardo on June 9, 2017 7:14 PM |
Even though nearly everyone involved in the creation of Harry Alan Towers' legendary film series have since passed on, the world has nevertheless heard from Fu Manchu again thanks to the efforts of Blue Underground. To the uninitiated (or at least overly-sensitive), Towers' Fu Manchu franchise started out in 1965 with The Face of Fu Manchu ‒ effectively reviving the long-absent (and nowhere near politically correct) villain from Sax Rohmer's legendary master of "yellow peril" thanks largely to the late great horror icon Christopher Lee and his effortless ability to play a baddie. Even when the 6' 5" British actor had to play an Asian!
Over the course of five years, Towers and Lee collaborated on a quintet of Fu Manchu flicks, ending with The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968) and The Castle of Fu Manchu (1969). And it is those final two installments of the series ‒ which the dearly departed Mr. Lee had once stated should have only lasted one feature ‒ that we get to explore here. Receiving stellar HD upgrades from their individual 2003 DVD releases, these two cult classics from the one and only Jesús (Jess) Franco are widely considered to be the worst of the lot, thus making their being the first Fu Manchu movies to be released on Blu-ray all the more amusing.
Indeed, Franco's touch is undeniable throughout both films, as is the shadow of The Towers, who would make nine features total together beginning with The Girl from Rio in '68 (but which wasn't released until 1969). Released in the US twice during the same year, but under different titles (the alternate title being Kiss and Kill, complete with lavishly lurid artwork), this adventure ripped from the pages of the pulp paperbacks that inspired it finds Fu Manchu (Lee) returning from his apparent demise in the last film with yet another scheme to conquer the world (a recurring theme from not only Rohmer's books, but from Towers' short-lived film series as well).
This time, Fu Manchu intends to kill his global enemies via a snake venom that only affects men. To do so, he kidnaps a bevy of international beauties ‒ thus enabling Franco to present us with two of his trademarks, skin and sleaze ‒ whom he uses his unique form of "Asian persuasion" on (read: mind control), sending his unwitting assassins out to load victims up with lethal toxins in their luscious lips. Naturally, Fu strikes at his dreaded arch nemesis first: Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard ("guest star" Richard Greene, taking over the role from Douglas Wilmer and Nigel Green, respectively), who soon finds himself blinded by a poisonous osculation with only weeks to live.
But even a bad case of "The Fu" can't keep Nayland Smith down, as our disabled hero still ventures out into the Amazon jungle in order to either find an antidote or at least ensure his bloodless enemy doesn't get the last laugh. Ultimately, the joke turns out to be on Goldfinger icon Shirley Eaton, who makes an unscheduled appearance in the film (also with "guest star" billing) courtesy footage she shot for The Girl from Rio ‒ which she received neither compensation for or notification of. And if think that's utterly unfathomable and unscrupulous, just wait until you kids see what they built The Castle of Fu Manchu with!
For it is here, in The Castle of Fu Manchu, that we realize just how low Harry Alan Towers and Jess Franco could stoop. Or maybe it was just sheer desperation due to an adequate lack of funding. Or a severe case of abject laziness, perhaps. Either way, try imagining what it must have been like to wander into the cinemas in the late '60s or early '70s (which was when this turkey finally saw a theatrical release in North America and in the UK) only to see repurposed scenes from a previous Fu Manchu movie in color spliced together with black and white stock footage from 1958's stellar tale of the fateful maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, A Night to Remember.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg, kids (yeah, I went there), because The Castle of Fu Manchu only seems to get sillier as its nearly incoherent story rambles on. Fu Manchu does indeed have a new fancy method of turning large bodies of water into ice (or making water suddenly break out of a dam, just so Harry and Uncle Jess could incorporate footage from Campbell's Kingdom, complete with shots of stars Dirk Bogarde and Stanley Baker). But in order to keep the machine up and runnin', he needs a lot of opium (uh, I may have failed science, but...), so he has formed an alliance with some bigwig drug king in Istanbul. Or something like that, kids.
Frankly, it's a bit difficult to distinguish The Blood of Fu Manchu from The Castle of Fu Manchu in terms of quality or substance. And it's not solely because both films lack an awful lot of both, either. They both feature those painfully long panning zoom shots Franco was obsessed with, lengthy instances wherein no one feels compelled to say or do anything, randomly inserted extraneous footage hailing from other productions, and an assortment of awkward-looking actors and actresses whose very facial expressions seem quite consistent with that of barely-legal porn starlets who wonder if they signed up for the wrong gig way after all is said and done.
But, of course, those are just some of the same reasons both features are still so popular with Francophiles and cinemasochists (I mean, these wouldn't be the first Fu Manchu movies to hit Blu-ray if they weren't, right?). Plus, we get to see a great assortment of international actors between the two films. Howard Marion-Crawford (as Nayland Smith's pal, Dr. Petrie), Tsai Chin (as Fu's sadistic but seldom utilized daughter), and Jess Franco himself appear in both films. Götz George, Maria Rohm, and Ricardo Palacios highlight the anemic Blood, while Günther Stoll, Rosalba Neri, and Maria Perschy give those dreary ol' Castle walls a bit of color.
In addition to Shirley Eaton's unintentional supporting part in The Blood of Fu Manchu, the late Burt Kwouk ‒ best remembered as Cato in the original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers ‒ can also be seen in The Castle of Fu Manchu courtesy stock footage from The Brides of Fu Manchu. Years later, Sellers himself would star, co-write, and co-direct the last official big screen English-language production ever to feature Sax Rohmer's character in 1980's The Fiendish Plot of Fu Manchu, which the good (and always game) Mr. Kwouk also appeared in. The film would prove to be a different sort of disaster all together.
While these campy, silly jungle adventures will probably leave a bad taste in the mouths of some, it is nevertheless well worth observing these were essentially the last "serious" Fu Manchu films ever made. Other than the aforementioned Sellers bomb and Nicolas Cage's memorable moment in Rob Zombie's fake Werewolf Women of the SS trailer for Grindhouse, the character has yet to truly be seen on film again. And while it has yet to be proven as to whether or not that is actually a good thing (for reasons which should be more than obvious in today's very sensitive world), there is some solace in knowing the last "real" adaptations starred Christopher Lee.
For their Blu-ray incarnations, these two guilty pleasures from Blue Underground receive a 1080p makeover which is most superior to previous DVD releases, especially the many awful grey market and Public Domain copies which floated around on home video before the 2003 Blue Underground offerings. They're probably the best we're likely to see these two titles look anytime soon (I'm honestly shocked Germany hasn't released a BD set yet), and the detail is crisp enough to make Christopher Lee's eyepieces stand out all the more. Each film is presented in a 1.66:1 aspect ratio with DTS-HD MA soundtracks and optional yellow peril subtitles.
Special features for this pairing are identical to the earlier '03 SD-DVDs. First, there is a very informative two-part featurette, which interviews many of the cast and crew (most of whom are no longer with us now). Jess Franco, Harry Alan Towers, Christopher Lee, Tsai Chin, and Shirley Eaton are among the interviewees, and it's darned comical to watch neither Franco of Towers take responsibility for Eaton's unsolicited inclusion to the series. Trailers for both titles are included (the US preview for Kiss and Kill features some of the greatest exploitation marketing ever), and the galleries ported over from the old DVDs have been expanded for this BD re-release.
As I hinted at throughout the bulk of this article, both of these movies are for those of you with slightly different tastes. I must confess it took me three nights to make it through both films (a fairly common side effect for me when a Jess Franco film is on) ‒ but of course I have seen them before. Newbies to the series will undoubtedly be a bit perplexed, shocked, bored, or any combination of the three. Nevertheless, these final outings of Fu Manchu make for unique motion(less) picture viewing experiences, and, while the transfers aren't 100% perfect, this budget double feature from Blue Underground is a mighty fine way to burn out a brain cell or two.

Life in the urban-wildlife interface
There is no easy alternative to a cull of urban deer —including translocation
When it comes to the problem of urban deer, some communities, including Cranbrook, have turned to culls as a solution, if not a temporary one.
And if you don't believe they're a problem, go to Youtube and search for a Cranbrook incident where a deer beat the crap out of someone's dog.
Imagine if that had been a child.
Communities across the province, including Cranbrook and Invermere and now Oak Bay on Vancouver Island, have completed culls in the past or are looking at culls as a solution to urbanized deer.
Culls work in the sense that the urban deer population is suddenly and immediately reduced, however, over time, the urban deer population will come back up as animals wander into town from the outskirts.
In other words, culls are a short-term solution for an ongoing issue.
Municipalities dealing with urbanized deer are caught in a bind, because under the Wildlife Act, the province has jurisdiction over the issue and municipalities need provincial approval to undertake any kind of action.
Culls are an emotionally-charged issue — one only has to look at cases where deer traps were deliberately damaged by vandals in Kimberley and Cranbrook last year.
Plus, there's the cost. Cranbrook has a permit to cull 50 deer, but city council is estimating a cost of $500 to cull a deer, with a budget of $12,750.
That adds up to only 25 animals.
Some argue why translocation isn't being considered. After all, it seems like an easy enough solution to tranquilize the deer and move them out to the wild.
However, according to Jeff Morgan, the Manager of Policy with the Fish and Wildlife Branch, it's not so simple.
Translocation of ungulates, including animals such as deer, elk and caribou, isn't without it's challenges, he said.
"One is the trauma that can occur during the capture and handling processes themselves, so the deer can be breaking limbs and injuring themselves through that process," said Morgan.
"Then the other one is capture-myopathy — that's the term — basically it sets itself up under stressful conditions where the deer are exerting themselves and exerting their muscles in an environment within their body that is low on oxygen. And that can cause serious degeneration of muscle tissue and death, and that is very prominent in deer."
Morgan adds that surviving in a wild environment is also more challenging for translocated urbanized deer.
"As you can imagine, the animals might not be familiar with that area, they're very adapted to the environment they've been living in and when moved to a whole new environment, they are really at a disadvantage to other animals — especially if they're urban deer because they might be quite naive when it comes to predators."
Even with those challenges, why doesn't the province allow Kootenay communities to translocate deer, especially when the mule deer population is struggling?
Again, it's not as easy as it sounds, according to Morgan.
He confirms that mule deer numbers are 50 per cent below historic levels, which is a result of winter severity, disease and parasites, predation and their ability to recruit young animals into the population. However, adding a few dozen urbanized deer into the wilderness will have a pretty negligible effect on the overall population numbers, he added.
"We estimate that there are between 10,000 and 20,000 [mule deer] in the Kootenay region, so moving a relatively small number of animals to one area or another, is not likely to result in any significant population increase," Morgan said.
"There are viable populations throughout the Kootenay region as is and they are in equilibrium with their environment and unless those underlying factors that control the population densities are changed, we wouldn't expect the populations to increase."
All that being said, the province is keeping a close eye on a study looking at the mortality rates of deer translocation that involves communities such as Sparwood, Elkford and Cranbrook.
"The information that we have been exposed to suggests that translocations of deer causes high mortality rates within the deer that are translocated," said Morgan. "The mortality can range from 25 to 85 per cent of the deer that are released at a new site. When we looked at that research, it was borne out that 50 per cent or greater mortality occurred in seven of the 12 papers that we reviewed.
"The important thing to note is that there's always advancement in techniques and there are some projects going on in the States where they are using different drugs to reduce stress levels during capture and transport.
"We have an opportunity and this is where the province is happy to participate—we have an opportunity to learn from some of the more recent work and set about to conduct a scientifically rigorous research trial in British Columbia in the Kootenay region."

Discussion in 'Modified 1991-1994 Explorers' started by Harder93, July 8, 2011.
I'm looking to get a 2" lift kit for my 1993 explorer. I had a 5.5" superlift kit for it but decided not to go as big. Let me know if you have any up for sale, Front, Back, or Both. Thanks, Blair.
Got one. Sent you pm.
cmhaah06, what do you have? In the same boat here.
2 inches is So easy. go to your local hardware store, pick up some 3" washers with 1/2" opening Four on each side front. For the rear larger shackles or just get some newer springs from a Junkyard..
Newer stock springs may lift the back end up 2", but it won't be a real lift. It will just bring you to stock height.
For the rear, War-153 (Warrior shackles) and or an add-a-leaf in the rear will get you close to 2" of lift.
For the front, the f-150 spacers (lower spring seats) is most common lift, but a few have done Washers (welded and un-welded) and other have tried poly spacers (poly ones don't seem to last)..
Here is a thread about it using the f-150 spacers and shackles.
I just did 2" today.. i did the warrior bracket in the back and 2" coil spacer up front... it worked nice... i can fit 31s but it looks good with stock size to. and u looking to sell tht supperlift?
i have a 2in polyurethane coil spring bushings for front and stock springs w/ an add-a-leaf and polyurethane bushins from energy suspension. bushings almost new but ran this lift for a few months on my exploder before i went bigger.
Still have everything for a 2inch lift..i seen you or from MD..What part of MD are you in..I am close to hagerstown md but i travel down to the pasadenaglen burine area all the time..let me know what all you have and how much you want for it?

Q: Trying to call _path or _url from class in /lib (ROR) I am trying to build a "router" for users that fires on login. I am trying to redirect users by role.
I have the following:
require "#{Rails.root}/lib/client/user_router"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
 # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
 # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
 protect_from_forgery with: :exception
 add_flash_types :info

 def after_sign_in_path_for(user)
  UserRouter.new(user)
end

end
and in /lib/user_router.rb
 class UserRouter
 include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers

  def initialize(user)
    @user = user
    route_user_by_role
  end

  def route_user_by_role
    if @user.is_pt_master?
      pt_master_root_url
    elsif @user.is_traveler?
      traveler_root_url
    elsif @user.client_user_role?
      route_client_by_role
    else

    end
  end

  def route_client_by_role
    if @user.is_super_admin?
      for_super_admin

      for_other_admin
    end
  end

  def for_super_admin
    if @user.client_account.blank?
      edit_client_account_url

      client_root_url
    end
  end

  def for_other_admin
    if @user.is_first_sign_in? || @user.client_user_info.blank?
      edit_client_user_info_url(@user)
    else
      client_root_url
    end
  end
end

I am using _url because if I use _path I get a .to_model error, but with _url I am getting Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true
I have already set default host in config/environments to be localhost:3000. Any help with how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

A: Add default_url_options to UserRouter:
class UserRouter
  include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers

  def self.default_url_options
    {host: 'localhost:3000'}
  end

  def initialize(user)
    @user = user
    route_user_by_role
  end

  def route_user_by_role
    if @user.is_pt_master?
      pt_master_root_url
    elsif @user.is_traveler?
      traveler_root_url
    elsif @user.client_user_role?
      route_client_by_role <= breaks here with undefined method error
    else
      root_url
    end
  end

  def route_client_by_role
    if @user.is_super_admin?
      for_super_admin
    else
      for_other_admin
    end
  end

  def for_super_admin
    if @user.client_account.blank?
      edit_client_account_url

      edit_client_user_info_url(@user)
    else
      client_root_url
    end
  end
end

A: So I wasn't able to do it as Class in /lib/ like I wanted to, but pulling it out into a module as a Controller concern allowed me to keep the logic separate from the ApplicationController like I wanted to, its not ideal, but better than stuffing it all into App Cntrl.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include UserRouter
  ...

  def after_sign_in_path_for(user)
    initialize_user_router(user)
  end

  ...
end

module UserRouter
  def initialize_user_router(user)
    @user = user
    direct_user_by_role
  end

  def direct_user_by_role
    if @user.is_pt_master?
      pt_master_root_path
    elsif @user.is_traveler?
      direct_traveler
    elsif @user.client_user_role?
      direct_client_by_role
    else
      root_path
    end
  end
  def direct_traveler
    ...
    traveler_root_path
  end

  def direct_client_by_role
    if @user.is_super_admin?
      direct_super_admins
    else
      direct_other_admins
    end
  end

  def direct_super_admins
    if @user.client_account.blank?
      edit_client_account_path
    else
      client_root_path
    end
  end

  def direct_other_admins
    if @user.first_sign_in? || @user.client_user_info.blank?
      edit_client_user_info_path(@user)
    else
      client_root_path
    end
  end

A host of new tools and technologies will soon be available to recruiters as AI and automation become household words, but what do recruiters really want?
There is no doubt that a host of new tools and technologies will soon be available to recruiters as AI and automation become household words.
A recent survey revealed that half of recruiters (49%) feel positive about the impact AI and automation will have on their jobs while a somewhat surprising 42% are indifferent. But only 7% believe that AI will have a negative effect on the industry and their job.
Overall, 72% of recruiters believe their approach to hiring will need to adapt to new AI and automation technologies as they become more prevalent in the industry.
Business2Community, which covers international news and trends in Social Media, Marketing, Business and more, looked at how AI and automation are being used in talent acquisition.
Job postings: AI can use sentiment analysis to identify potentially biased language in adverts, and provide suggestions to recruiters on how to create more widely appealing job descriptions.
Sourcing: Automated sourcing means that finding candidates that fit the requirements of your role can be done in minutes. Different tools can complete general searches for candidates by searching the web, or specific searches within CV databases such as Careers24.
Candidate rediscovery: AI can search your existing ATS database to rediscover candidates who have applied in the past and who now fit the requirements of a current job opening.
CV screening: AI is able to automatically screen, grade, and shortlist new candidates by analysing your existing CV database.
Candidate outreach: A recruitment chatbot uses natural language processing to collect information from candidates, ask screening questions, answer FAQs about the job, and even schedule an interview.
Impartial selection: AI's are neutral and non-biased, able to ignore candidate demographics such as race, gender and age when selecting candidates.
Another international job site recently revealed that recruiters are eager to have AI tools that will automate or streamline tedious administrative tasks.
Are you concerned or excited about the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and the impact new technologies will have on your industry? Tell us in the comments below.


erm really sorry i just wanted to know whether you had to rebuild a jailed system on each upgrade of said system. The answer is in the handbook. Sorry if i've wasted anyones time.
btw I heard somwhere that virtual jailed systems should NOT be started from rc on the host system. Is this still true?. In my virtual system there will be a couple of daemons running. Would it be better to start the jailed system by hand, once the host has booted, in this case? Or is this a legacy issue?

Educational Experiences of Children and Youth in the Child Welfare System
On any given day in the U.S., more than 400,000 children and youth are involved in the child welfare system. And while the goals of this system are to find safe, permanent homes and to reunify families, many children and youth spend years in the system, moving from placement to placement and school to school. Compared to peers who are not system-involved, these young people are less likely to have a high school diploma, less likely to earn a living wage, and more likely to become involved in the juvenile or criminal justice systems. Research has shown, however, that success in school can be a positive counterweight to the abuse, neglect, separation, and impermanence experienced by these children and youth.
NDTAC's first event in the N&D InFocus series, Educational Experiences of Children and Youth in the Child Welfare System (Video), examined the educational experiences of children and youth involved with the child welfare system and highlight the work of systems around the country striving to foster better educational outcomes for these young people.

FBI warns of Internet of Things risks
The FBI has issued a warning to businesses and homeowners warning that with the efficiencies and conveniences related to Internet of Things and its enhanced connectivity comes a greater opportunity for cybercriminals to target them.
The efficiencies and conveniences that come with the Internet of Things also can open up a greater potential for cybercrime, according to the FBI.
The bureau's Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, warns in a notice that IoT-connected devices — those constantly connected to a network and sharing data automatically — can lack security and patching capabilities, and, when linked to larger public networks, expose users to the risk of an attack or theft.
"Criminals can use these opportunities to remotely facilitate attacks on other systems, send malicious and spam e-mails, steal personal information, or interfere with physical safety," the IC3 notice says. Bad actors can exploit "Universal Plug and Play protocol (UPnP) to gain access to many IoT devices," and use default passwords to send problematic emails or steal information.
Though the Internet of Things is a fairly new and underdeveloped technology phenomenon, more of these types of devices are hitting the market. By 2020, Cisco estimates 50 billion devices will be take part in this Internet-connected environment. IC3's examples of these devices range in sophistication, from tools that control and secure your home to medical devices and wearables. Even apps on a smartphone that control entertainment systems count.
And with the flood of devices, the FBI expects to see more cybercriminals engineering their way into consumers' vulnerable systems and devices. IC3 published a laundry list of horrors of what could go wrong — hacking into closed-circuit security cameras or baby monitors, breaching home medical devices to steal personal information, and attacking businesses' critical devices.
For instance, the alert states: "Criminals can exploit unsecured wireless connections for automated devices, such as security systems, garage doors, thermostats, and lighting. The exploits allow criminals to obtain administrative privileges on the automated device. Once the criminals have obtained the owner's privileges, the criminal can access the home or business network and collect personal information or remotely monitor the owner's habits and network traffic. If the owner did not change the default password or create a strong password, a cyber criminal could easily exploit these devices to open doors, turn off security systems, record audio and video, and gain access to sensitive data."
IC3 recommends above all that consumers protect themselves by isolating their devices to private, secured networks. But for the most part, the center's recommendations are general technology and cybersecurity best practices, like updating passwords regularly and installing security updates or patches. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team also issued an alert encouraging consumers to follow IC3's advice.
Despite the impending IoT boom and the related privacy and security implications, lawmakers and regulators have been puzzled by how to ensure consumer safety without handcuffing businesses looking to thrive in the IoT environment. So far, the Federal Trade Commission has issued broad IoT privacy recommendations, and congressional committees have dabbled in the topic, but there's been little concrete movement toward regulations or legislation.

Heres some facts from the Humane Society that will hopefully sway you from buying to adopting. Help save a life.
1. "Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet."
2. "Usually when you adopt a pet, the cost of spay/neuter, first vaccinations (and sometimes even microchipping!) is included in the adoption price, which can save you some of the up front costs of adding a new member to your family. Depending on the animal, you may also save on housebreaking and training expenses."
"If you buy a dog from a pet store, online seller or flea market, you're almost certainly getting a dog from a puppy mill.
These puppy mills continue to stay in business through deceptive tactics — their customers are unsuspecting consumers who shop in pet stores, over the Internet or through classified ads. Puppy mills will continue to operate until people stop supporting them. By adopting a pet, you can be certain you aren't giving them a dime."
"Overburdened shelters take in millions of stray, abused, and lost animals every year, and by adopting an animal, you're making room for others. Not only are you giving more animals a second chance, but the cost of your adoption goes directly towards helping those shelters better care for the animals they take in!"
And if you are unable to adopt, please make sure to donate money or your time to your local shelters / the ASPCA / The Humane Society.


First, as NCDOT has stated numerous times, the local planning organization (CRTPO) developed, unanimously approved, and requested theI-77 Express Lanesproject based on a thorough study for the region. NCDOT agrees with their findings and plan, but ultimately the department is simply continuing to deliver the project as requested by the regional planning body and its constituent local governments.
Federal Law requires CRTPO's approval of a 10-year Metro Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP), which must be identical to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will not approve funding for new projects until that is complete. The MTIP for Iredell, Mecklenburg and Union Counties includes 68 highway and 23 non-highway projects with a total investment of more than $1.8 billion in the region over the next 10years.
FHWA does not allow CRTPO (or any planning organization) to add or delete projects from the STIP that was created under state law at this stage. Members are required to approve or not approve their MTIP as is. Modifying the plan in any way is voting not to approve it. If CRTPO votes not to approve its program on Aug.19, then all 91 new transportation projects for the region will be delayed for a minimum of six to nine months and remain on hold until a new ten-year plan can be developed and approved for the region by CRTPO and the N.C. Board of Transportation.
Some groups have wrongly asserted that voting against the 10-year plan and cancelling the I-77 Express Lanes contract would automatically bring general-purpose lanes to I-77 instead. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If the I-77 Express Lanes project, requested by local transportation planners, was canceled, the state could not immediately build general-purpose lanes as an alternative. As required by law, If CRTPO changes its plan now and wishes to submit a new project in place of the I-77 Express Lanes, that project would have to go through the same scoring process as all other projects and rank high enough against other projects to be eligible for future funding. New projects can be submitted through this process every two years. Additionally, canceling the I-77 contract at this point would require a penalty potentially as high as $100 million.
Chooseto pay to use Express Lanes with fewer than three people for a more predictable travel time on a trip or portion of a trip.

Allen, Fitzgerald and Kelly among Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Finalist
by Paul Condry | Dec 23, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
ATLANTA (Dec. 22, 2020) – Officials from the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl have announced the finalists for the 2020 Dodd Trophy. Finalists include five of the nation's top coaches in college football who embody the award's three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity, both on and off the field.
Considering The Dodd Trophy represents more than just a coach's performance on the field, a coach in his first year, who has not had a full season to establish his own impact on APR and the local community, is not eligible to win.
This year's finalists represent three Power Five conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten), as well as the American Athletic Conference. These coaches have combined for a 39-7 record so far this season, and have collectively won 491 games and four FBS conference championships throughout their careers.
One former winner of The Dodd Trophy was named a finalist as Brian Kelly (2018) was selected to this year's list. This represents Pat Fitzgerald's third selection as a finalist (2017 and 2018), while Tom Allen, Matt Campbell and Luke Fickell are finalists for the first time.
Four of the five finalists – Allen (Big Ten), Campbell (Big 12), Fickell (AAC) and Kelly (ACC) – won their respective conference's Coach of the Year awards for this season.
"This has been an unprecedented year, but these five coaches have found a way to overcome numerous challenges by leading their teams to successful seasons," said Jim Terry, chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation. "Each of these coaches have left a significant mark on their respective programs, both on and off the field, and truly embody the guiding principles that this award stand for."
The 2020 Dodd Trophy Finalists:
Coach School Conference CFP Ranking: Record APR Score:
Tom Allen Indiana Big Ten 11 6-1 969
Matt Campbell Iowa State Big 12 10 8-3 979
Luke Fickell Cincinnati AAC 8 9-0 990
Pat Fitzgerald Northwestern Big Ten 14 6-2 995
Brian Kelly Notre Dame ACC 4 10-1 970

Where would Jesus be?
By Rev. Chris Brouillard-Coyle
We, who have been steeped in the tradition and story of Christianity. We, who have heard the Gospel proclaimed and preached. We, who have been baptized in the name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We, who would call ourselves disciples and followers of Jesus Christ: Where do we think Jesus would be?
When Indigenous children were ripped from their homes and sent to residential schools, do we believe Jesus would have walked with those who took the children? Do we believe that it was Jesus working through the priests, nuns, administrators, and staff at residential schools who abused these children? Do we believe Jesus had a hand in the shaping of government policy that allowed for the starvation of these children? Do we believe Jesus was indifferent as dead children were buried in unmarked graves?
When workers at grocery stores and fast-food places report for work, do we believe that Jesus stands with their employers expecting them to give everything they have and hording the benefits of that work for themselves while leaving the workers struggling for survival? Do we believe that Jesus supports every protest against raising minimum wage because Jesus prefers bargain goods too? Do we believe that Jesus looks at our capitalist system that rewards the wealthy and punishes the poor and says as God once did at the time of Creation, 'it is very good'?
When a tent city pops up because human beings have nowhere to go? When they have run out of options, when the wait lists for affordable housing stretch from days to weeks, to months, to years, where is Jesus? Is Jesus standing with those who are frustrated that their parks are littered with broken lives? Is Jesus among those who complain to the police when clothing is seen drying on fences because homeless people have few options after a hard rain? Is Jesus signing petitions to get rid of tent cities? Is Jesus among those who rip up these spaces and places to reclaim them for the masses?
During a pandemic, when vaccines become available to help slow the spread of deadly disease, is Jesus among those first in line? Would Jesus advocate to ensure his community benefited first and most from these life-saving measures? Would Jesus be indifferent to the inequality that would leave some communities without vaccines for extended periods of time because it is more important to ensure his community gets what they need? Or would Jesus stand among those who protest such measures, calling people names, and getting in the way of those looking for health care?
We, who have been steeped in the tradition and story of Christianity. We, who have heard the Gospel proclaimed and preached. We, who have been baptized in the name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We, who would call ourselves disciples and followers of Jesus Christ: Where do we think Jesus would be in these situations and more? Based on all that we know and have heard in our faith journeys, where do we honestly think Jesus would be in these moments? What does this say about where the Church should be?

'Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes,' Explained – What Happened To Gacy In The End?
By Sushrut Gopesh
Credits: Netflix
The Netflix documentary, "Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes," takes us back to the 70s when a horrific incident shook the whole of the United States of America. John Wayne Gacy, the murderer of more than 30 men, was interviewed from November 1979 to April 1980. Those recordings are made public for the very first time in this documentary. It is atrocious and frightful to think that any individual could think like this, or do anything close to what he did, in a civil society. So let's assimilate the findings that the police investigation led to, and look into the revelations that were hard to digest.
Warning: Mature Content
Who Was John Wayne Gacy? What Was John Gacy Being Accused Of?
Sam Amirante, John Gacy's criminal attorney, got a call from him. He asked him to look into a matter in Des Plaines, the epicenter of all the drama that was slowly unfolding. A case had been filed for a missing boy, and Gacy was suspected to be behind it. Everybody knew John Gacy in the neighborhood, and Sam Amirante was no different. Gacy had a construction business and was a democratic Precinct Captain in the Cook County Democratic Organization. Gacy was a popular guy, and everybody knew him. That is why Sam Amirante immediately went to the police and told them that they were terribly mistaken to accuse John Gacy of kidnapping a guy.
It was December 12th, 1978. A boy named Robert Piest has gone missing. Peist was working in a pharmacy, Nisson Drugs. A report for the missing person was filed with Rafael Tovar, the Des Plaines P.D., who immediately went to the Nisson pharmacy store to inquire and get more information. John Gacy had visited the store on the day Robert Piest went missing. When the police ran his name through the records, they stumbled upon a very astonishing piece of information. John Gacy had been sentenced once earlier in Iowa for sodomy. Their suspicion was increased, but still, they had to be careful as this was a man who had some influence and had contacts in the right places.
Lieutenant Kozenczak contacted Gacy and asked him to come to the police station. John Gacy, in his arrogance, told the officer that he would come as and when he had some time to spare.
Terry Sullivan, the prosecutor, went and asked Gacy, when he was sitting in the police station, if he would be willing to give permission to get his house searched, considering he had nothing to hide. But John Gacy refused. It meant that he was hiding something. The authorities were able to get a search warrant eventually. They found some adult magazines and books written about some dark desires that were illegal. They found chains and handcuffs. They found a crawl space too, but didn't find anything substantial inside that claustrophobic place.
Though all this was very intriguing and raised suspicion as to what the man was up to, nothing was enough to incriminate John Gacy and prove that he kidnapped Rob Piest.
What Was John Gacy Convicted Of In Waterloo? Who Was Steve Nemmers?
John Gacy was never close to his father. As he says, he couldn't ever do enough to please him. He had a similar relationship with his father-in-law too, who, according to him, always treated him in a condescending way.
Steve Nemmers met John Gacy in 1967 in Waterloo, Iowa. Gacy called him over for drinks and dinner. He started behaving obnoxiously with Nemmers. All of a sudden, while playing pool, Gacy asked Nemmers if he would opt to play a game with really high stakes. The stakes were that whoever lost had to commit an intimate act on the other. Nemmers was taken aback. He was in that compromising position where he didn't know how to react. It was Gacy's way of trying out his luck. But the problem was that he was too persistent, almost to a level that would be termed coercive. When Nemmers said no, Gacy asked him if he had ever watched a stag film. He started one such film and, out of nowhere, pointed a loaded revolver at Nemmers. He ordered him to do as he said. Out of sheer fright and horror, Nemmers started crying. As quickly as a lightning bolt, Gacy's expression changed. The man started laughing. He told Nemmers that it was a game he played often. He liked putting psychological pressure on people and witnessing how they reacted to the situation.
That night, when Nemmers went to sleep, Gacy repeated the act, where he coerced him to indulge in a intimate act with him. He pointed a knife at him and asked him to oblige. Once again, he started laughing and told him that he was playing the same game.
Gacy was subsequently charged with assaulting a minor boy and committing sodomy. Throughout this time period, John was in complete denial, even though the evidence against him was crystal clear. He maintained a narrative that he was being used and that, in fact, he was the victim. He thought pleading guilty to the sodomy case would get him probation, but instead, he got sentenced to 10 years. But because Gacy was a first-time offender, the sentence was revised, and he was sent to a men's reformatory in Anamosa, from where he came out in about a year's time.
Did The Police Department Get Any Evidence Against John Gacy?
While the police were on the Rob Piest case, they started following Gacy and keeping a check on his movements. John Gacy mostly employed young boys in his construction company, and the police came to know that one such boy, named Gregory Godzik, had gone missing. On further inquiry, it was revealed that John Butkovich and John Szyc, two youngsters working with John Gracy, were among the list of people who had disappeared.
John Szyc's mom had told the police that a T.V. was missing that the boy had in his bedroom. It was suspected that Gacy might have it in his possession. So Ron Robinson and Bob Schultz went once again to Gacy's house. Bob Schultz accidentally got a whiff of a rancid smell coming from the heating duct in the washroom. He knew instantly that it was the smell of a dead body. They also found a receipt from Nisson Pharmacy that was put in Rob's pocket by a colleague. That was the first piece of concrete evidence the police had laid their hands on.
Terry Sullivan, the prosecutor of Cook County, was requested to give another search warrant as the police department was sure that this time they would find something in the crawl space that was behind the trap door.
John Wayne Gacy used to consume Valium, a drug, and also had marijuana in his possession, which was also not legal at that time. The prosecutor, Terry Sullivan, got an excuse to take him down. Dan Genty was the evidence technician in the Cook County Sheriff's office. He recalls that when the team entered Gacy's house after obtaining the search warrant, their main aim was to find Rob Piest. In the crawlspace, they started digging, and were shocked beyond any measure when they started to find human bones.
Back in the police department, John Gacy started to confess. He said that the killings started in 1972. He mostly preyed upon the runaways, as they didn't have any family members who would come looking for them. In his version, he only wanted to indulge in consenting intimacy and had no intention of killing them. Obviously, the police officials figured out that it was a lie and that he had every intention of killing each one of them. He stayed low for a while, but when the cops didn't come looking for him after his first murder, it boosted his confidence.
Every victim alive corroborated the fact that Gacy had an obnoxious behavior. John Gacy used to entice young people by giving them free drugs or promising them a job. He picked them up in his car while circling around Bughouse Square, a place where gay men often gathered to socialize.
When the police officer started digging the floor of his house, they realized that the place was no less than a graveyard. But still, John Gacy thought while confessing that if he helped the police and could mislead them somehow, he would get away with everything. He didn't listen to his attorney, Sam Amirante, who was constantly telling him to keep his mouth shut. Gacy was a control freak. He believed that his lawyers should do as he said. So he kept on talking in great detail about his homicides.
Was Rob Piest's Body Ever Found? Did The Jury Uphold John Gacy's Defense Of Insanity?
Rob Piest's father always asked this question: "Why Rob, of all the people?" But the truth was that there was an answer to it. The scariest thing about John Gacy was that he didn't have any patterns. Anybody could be his next victim. Gacy had never laid eyes on Rob until that fateful day. There were 20 odd dead bodies that were excavated from Gacy's house, but Robert Piest's body still couldn't be found.
Gacy told the police officers that he had eventually ran out of space and had to find an alternative place to dispose of the dead bodies. Rob had approached Gacy for a job, and he took him to his place, where he molested him. He put a noose around his neck, and Rob died on the bed. The next day, when the police came to Gacy's house, Rob's body was still in the attic, which they were unaware of. He put Rob's body in his car and drove down to the Des Plaines River. He threw the body into the river, though the police couldn't find anything there.
Finally, in April 1979, a body resurfaced, and it was identified to be that of Robert Piest. The winters had been harsh, and as soon as the temperature started rising, the body rose to the surface of the river. A book on legal procedures had been found in Gacy's attic, and the chapter on insanity as a defense was marked. He was smart enough, and he knew that insanity was the tool that could work in his favor. The prosecutors were scared about the fact that John Gacy would get away with the defense of insanity.
A clinical psychiatrist examination of Gacy was ordered by the court. It was found out that Gacy questioned his masculinity from an early age because of his physical attributes. Gacy called himself "a sickly bookworm." He had a troubled relationship with his father and found solace in his mother's gentle and loving nature. He craved attention and showed compulsive behavior. The psychology reports somewhere hinted that Gacy suffered from a neurotic disorder. The prosecutors knew that their case was getting weak due to all these medical reports, so they put up a theatrical show to appeal to the emotional side of the jury. The jury found John Gacy guilty and turned down his defense of insanity. He was convicted of all 33 murders and was sentenced to death.
What Happened To John Wayne Gacy In The End?
By appealing in the appellate courts, Gacy stalled the death sentence for 14 years. Finally, the supreme court turned down his appeal, and on May 10, 1994, the capital punishment was executed. In his last days, the man had no remorse. He said very arrogantly that he had killed 33 times, but the law could only kill him once.
If we talk about the legality of the case, then it cannot be denied that he suffered from neurotic disorder and that a plea of insanity could have been used as a defense successfully. But the jury decided the other way round. The innocent minors suffered and met such a horrific end. The families left behind had to find a way to deal with their grief and learn to live once again. Their world had been destroyed, and all because of a man who wasn't even remorseful for the acts he had committed. Many victims have not been identified till date, and the police authorities are still trying to identify them. Many would find that the prosecutors had a weak case, but the nature of the crime was so dreadful that after capital punishment was carried out, it gave a sense of retribution to every citizen.
"Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes", a 2022 Netflix Crime documentary miniseries directed by Joe Berlinger, is an intriguing watch that shows you the unfathomable and horrific extremities that humans are capable of going.

Il 24 settembre 2015, in qualità di leader delle FARC, alla presenza di Raúl Castro sigla a L'Avana un accordo storico con il presidente della Colombia Juan Manuel Santos che prevede un cessate il fuoco tra le due parti entro sei mesi; l'intesa comprende inoltre l'istituzione di tribunali speciali volti a giudicare i crimini commessi nel conflitto da entrambi i contendenti.

In seguito a questo accordo, viene candidato al Premio Nobel per la Pace del 2015.

Nonostante i grandi sforzi, il 2 ottobre 2016 il popolo colombiano, attraverso un referendum, ha rigettato gli accordi di pace con grande stupore da parte dell'opinione pubblica internazionale.

Il 2 ottobre 2016 l'accordo è stato sottoposto a referendum nazionale venendo sorprendentemente bocciato dal popolo colombiano con il 50,3% dei voti contrari in opposizione al 49,7% dei voti favorevoli (con una differenza stimata di appena 65.000 voti).

Il successivo 24 ottobre fu firmato un nuovo accordo di pace tra le parti, a cui seguì la ratifica definitiva da parte del parlamento colombiano. L'accordo prevede anche un sussidio da elargire per la sostituzione, da parte dei contadini affiliati alle FARC, delle piantagioni di droga con piantagioni di prodotti legali come alberi da frutti. Il 28 dicembre 2016 il parlamento colombiano ha approvato una legge che prevede l'amnistia o la grazia ai membri delle Forze armate rivoluzionarie della Colombia accusati di reati politici.

Il 27 giugno 2017 con una solenne cerimonia il capo dei guerriglieri Timoleón Jiménez dichiara la fine della lotta armata dopo 53 anni di guerriglia, consegnando molte delle armi in mano al gruppo rivoluzionario ai rappresentanti dell'ONU, annunciando la futura trasformazione delle FARC in un partito politico autorizzato e legale.

Q: C++ overload parenthesis operator to construct class/object after initialization? Is it possible to be "DRY" (do not repeat yourself")? I would like to declare my class and essentially construct it later.
this code works:
// default constructor
UserInput::UserInput() {};

// other constructor
UserInput::UserInput(string title, string section, string subsection) :
    title(title), section(section), subsection(subsection) {
    SPLIT();
}

// i want to be "DRY", is it possible?
// this is the same code as the "other constrcutor"
void UserInput::operator()(string title, string section, string subsection) {
    this->title = title;
    this->section = section;
    this->subsection = subsection;
    SPLIT();
}

this does not work, the class ends up with blank strings:
void UserInput::operator()(string title, string section, string subsection) {
    UserInput(title, section, subsection);
}

A: void UserInput::operator()(string title, string section, string subsection) {
    *this = UserInput(title, section, subsection);
}

This is not terribly efficient, but if performance is not an issue for you, this will do the trick.
void UserInput::operator()(const string &title, const string &section, const string &subsection) {
    *this = UserInput(title, section, subsection);
}

This will be a little bit efficient. You should also make the same change to the real constructor's parameters, as well.
EDIT: here' an alternatve approach referenced in the comments. This is a bit more "standard-ish". It is quite common for constructors to invoke additional class methods to finish constructing object. This only works when class members have default constructors. As mentioned earlier, there's some duplicated effort here -- the class members get default-constructed first, only to be fully constructed again. But, it does tend to eliminate code duplication, and is a bit cleaner when performance or efficiency isn't at the premium.
UserInput::UserInput(const string &title, const string &section, const string &subsection)
{
    operator()(title, section, subsection);
}

void UserInput::operator()(const string &title, const string &section, const string &subsection) {
    this->title = title;
    this->section = section;
    this->subsection = subsection;
    SPLIT();
}

Raktvål är en tvål som används tillsammans med rakborste vid rakning med rakhyvel eller rakkniv. Raktvålen arbetas upp till ett lödder med rakborsten för att sedan appliceras på ansiktet. Tvålen används för att minska friktionen mellan rakhyvel och hud och därmed förebygga små skador i form av skärsår. Raktvål uppskummas vanligen tillsammans med vatten i en rakskål, innan den arbetas in i skäggstubben med rakborsten. Tvålarna är ofta parfymerade med dofter, och kan även innehålla ämnen som ska hjälpa huden, såsom aloe vera.

The one super feature on the bottoms is stirrup. It keeps them from riding up the leg. You will love these. At this price you can buy two pair and always have a spare.


Two down – 42 to go! Francis Benali's big race has got off to a successful start.
The former Southampton defender has completed the first leg of his latest epic adventure, running and cycling from Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium to Bristol City's Ashton Gate ground.
Next he will run and ride to Cardiff City and then Swansea before trekking across the Brecon Beacons to the Midlands as he makes his way to every Premier League and Championship stadium in just two weeks.
It means running a marathon and cycling a further 75 miles every day for a fortnight as he bids to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
He said: "I got a really good welcome at Bristol City, they could not have been more helpful. Scott Murray and Louis Carey turned out to welcome me and they gave me access to the ground so I was able to get the first of many ice baths!
"I was tired but just glad to get that first day under my belt. For all the training I have been doing, this was the first time I had actually run a marathon and cycled that distance in the same day!
"I know I have to do it many more times but I learned from my first challenge just to take one day at a time and not to look too far ahead.
"It was tough going in places. I got through the miles quite quickly on the run until the last stretch when there were a few tough hills.
"By the time I had finished the run it was quite a welcome change to get on the bike and get the legs rotating – but again there was some really lumpy terrain which was hard on the legs.
"I was out of the saddle and working really hard and there were times it felt like I was hardly moving at all. That took it out of me especially as we were a little behind schedule and I had to push on.


Ocean animal simulator is fun, educational, and eco-minded.
Players learn about and help sea animals. They are provided tools to tend to their wounds, given a camera to take pictures, and unlock bits of trivia by closely examining them. There is also a strong environmental theme, with a narrative element that focuses on the damage caused by oil spills.
Players become members of the crew of a boat that travels the world looking for animals so that they can categorize them and help them if they are hurt or trapped. All of the player's actions are for the good of the animals.
All controls are based around the touch screen. Swimming about 3D environments is a snap—just tap in the direction you want to move. And most of the minigames are fairly easy to learn, requiring just a few taps, swipes, or circular motions with the stylus. Photography is perhaps the trickiest part, since the animals are always moving and you have to both tap the screen and press a shoulder button to snap a picture.
This game is part of Ubisoft's quickly expanding line of Petz games for Nintendo's DS.
Players use a syringe to inject medicine into injured fish.
Parents need to know that Petz: Dolphinz Encounter is about finding, learning about, and coming to the rescue of a wide variety of sea animals. Players take pictures, analyze, and treat the wounds of these creatures; they can in no way harm them. The game also has a strong environmental/conservation theme, with part of the narrative focusing on the damage caused by oil spills. Unlike some other Petz games, which can be geared for kids who have just learned to read, this game features sophisticated text and more complex games, making it more suitable for slightly older children.
The Petz games just keep coming. However, unlike other recent entries in the franchise, PETZ: DOLPHINZ ENCOUNTER has a relatively original look and feel. A story-driven game, players take on the role of either a male or female crew member on an advanced ship called the Delphis. Their objective is to travel the globe's oceans and seas looking for, learning about, and, when necessary, aiding a variety of aquatic animals, from dolphins to whales to turtles. As you scan each animal, the game's encyclopedia fills with trivial bits of data about them, like how spinning dolphins communicate with one another when they leap from the water. Players will also spend time hunting for the remains of animals on the seabed to augment their knowledge of sea creatures, removing tracking devices, treating injuries, and taking pictures.
One of the best entries yet in Ubisoft's Petz series, Dolphinz Encounter engages players with an interesting story that puts kids right in the wild. They can even use a picture of themselves in place of the game's avatar, should they happen be using a camera-equipped DSi. Exploring the game's three-dimensional ocean is a piece of cake -- just tap in the direction you want to swim. Plus, the minigames are diverse. Players will need to select and then employ the proper tools to carefully uncover animal skeletons on the seabed, tap or spin tracking devices to remove them from fish, and disinfect wounds and inject medicine to cure wounded animals by rubbing and sliding the stylus on the screen.
The only disappointment is in the animals themselves. They look nice enough, but they tend to simply swim in circles, and you can't really interact with them in any meaningful way. That said, we understand that it must be difficult to visually capture the emotions of a whale compared to, say, a puppy or kitten. This one beef aside, Dolphinz Encounter is a great game for animal-loving kids.
Families can talk about effects that pollution has on wildlife. Specifically, how do oil spills harm the animals that live in the places in which they occur? How can people mitigate the damage and work to save creatures that are affected?
Families can also discuss the authenticity of the animals depicted in this game. Do they look real? Do they act as you'd expect them to? What would you change about their behavior.

HNoMS Skorpionen was the lead ship of her class of three monitors built for the Royal Norwegian Navy in the 1860. She was scrapped in 1908, well after her muzzle-loading guns were outdated.

The two other ships in her class was  and . The slightly later  can be seen as an improved Skorpionen-class monitor.

The name translates as The Scorpion.

Details
Skorpionen was armed with two heavy rifled muzzle-loaders in a revolving turret. She had five inches of iron armour on her deck, and her turret was protected by twelve inches of iron armour.

Caterer's shock after she finds chef collapsed on kitchen floor at golf club
She sprang into action
Abigail Bryson-Weston helped save a woman's life after she collapsed (Image: Abigail Bryson-Weston)
A caterer sprang into action to save the life of a woman after she collapsed when a blood vessel burst in her brain at a golf club near Sleaford.
Abigail Bryson-Weston from Billinghay was working at South Kyme Golf Club when she discovered the chef on the floor in the kitchen.
She was laying on her back and vomiting into her own mouth.
Abigail, 36, rushed in to help her colleague and turned her on her side to stop her from choking on her own sick, before she made sure the woman didn't get up.
Doctors later said the woman would have died if she made it to her feet as a result of the bleed.

Abigail, who has now been honoured for her heroics in April, says she did what anyone else would do.
"I'd left the kitchen before," she said. "I couldn't find her - when I walked in and she was on the floor.
"She was unconscious and throwing up in her mouth, so I shouted for help and I got on the phone to 999.
"It was about an hour before the ambulance came."

The woman did wake up and tried to get up, but Abigail was able to make sure she stayed lying on the floor until the paramedics arrived.
"She did come round, she was throwing up constantly and trying to get up, so I stayed on the floor with her," she said.
"Unfortunately strokes and aneurysms happen everyday - it's quite a big killer of people.
"I didn't know what she'd done, it looked like she'd just passed out. She couldn't really talk, although I could hear her saying something about her head."

She was taken to hospital by ambulance, where she was treated by neurologists.
In recognition of her actions, Abigail has been awarded a Royal Humane Society certificate of commendation.
It is given to people who have made a significant contribution towards saving someone's life.
Abigail, who is currently training to become an electrician, joked: "I did ask for a statue, but I didn't get it.
"I'd like to think I just did what anyone else would do, I didn't think I'd get an award for it.
She added that it was thanks to the good work of the members of the golf club, the paramedics and hospital staff, not just herself, that the victim is still around today.
"I couldn't be any happier and more grateful that she has made such an amazing recovery," she said.
Andrew Chapman, secretary of the Royal Humane Society, said without Abigail's quick thinking, the woman could have died.
"Thankfully Abigail realised that it was best for Melanie to stay quiet and still," he said.
"She sat on the floor talking to her and trying to keep her conscious for something in the region of an hour waiting for an ambulance.
"She did just what was needed and the neurologist has made it clear that it was probably this that saved her life.
"Movement such as standing up could have made things much worse and she could have died."

Movement for Hope teamed up with stencil graffiti artist known as Plotbotterrobboter Ken (or Plotbot Ken) and Stattbad Wedding to do a public wall mural for Movement for Hope. The piece demonstrates the unity of art and science and it's ability to inspire hope.
Movement for Hope collaborated with clinical researchers at Charite Hospital to unite the graffiti time-lapse footage with awareness information, educating public audiences on two movement-debilitating diseases, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis.
