MOPS Free Acid, Ultra Pure
m-790-1
MOPS is a buffering agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology that was selected and described by Good et al. It is a zwitterionic, morpholinic buffer that is useful for a pH range of 6.5 – 7.9 and commonly used for cell culture media, as a running buffer in electrophoresis, and for protein purification in chromatography. MOPS lacks the ability to form a complex with most metal ions and is recommended for use as a non-coordinating buffer in solutions with metal ions. MOPS is often used in buffered culture media for bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. MOPS is regarded as an excellent buffer for use in separating RNA in agarose gels. It is recommended to sterilize MOPS buffers by filtration rather than with autoclave due to the unknown identity of yellow degradation products that occur after sterilization of MOPS with autoclave. It is suitable for use in the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay.
MOPS free acid can be mixed with MOPS sodium salt to attain desired pH. Alternatively, MOPS free acid can be titrated with sodium hydroxide to attain desired pH.

Tricine is a zwitterionic buffering agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology that was selected and described by Good et al. It is part of the Tris family of buffers with a useful pH range of 7.4 – 8.8. Tricine is commonly used in SDS-PAGE to separate peptides that are in the molecular weight range of 1 to 100 kDa. It is also used in capillary zone electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. Tricine was determined to be the best buffer tested for use in ATP assays involving firefly luciferase. Tricine can serve as scavenger of hydroxyl radicals; this should be taken into consideration if using tricine in the presence of an enzyme with oxidase activity. Tricine forms a complex with Cu(II). The addition of Cu2+ to a solution enables tricine to be used in the Lowry protein assay. Tricine can be used as a substitute for protocols that utilize the controlled substance barbital as a buffer.

GoldBio Tris has the highest purity available on the market, at more than 99.9% pure. Short for Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (THAM), Tris is an organic compound often used in buffer solutions such as TAE or TBE for electrophoresis gels. Tris is highly soluble in water and is useful in the pH range 7.0-9.0. It is used in the preparation of Laemmli buffer, one of the most common SDS-PAGE buffers. In addition, Tris can also be used for many custom running and loading buffers, most often with glycine and SDS. The use of single-junction pH electrodes that contain silver should be avoided when determining the pH of a solution containing Tris buffer.
A Tris buffer solution can be made by mixing Tris with Tris-HCl. This prevents overshooting the pH and prevents the need to work with strong acids or bases.

To Dodge a Curse
We savored every last bite of our Mexican food before making our way to the patio to carve the pumpkins. Luc was already in his costume, a white t-shirt inscribed with a self-designed iron-on that read "this is my Halloween costume. Deal with it." Jordan was halfway through her transformation into the Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. It was a thoroughly Southern California holiday, with the temperature lingering in the mid 70's, and our family was ready for a celebration. In fact, we had just corked a bottle of champagne and toasted Jordan's health. She had broken a curse.
People are usually surprised to learn how superstitious I am. I'm not one of those black-cat-in-your-path kind of guys. In fact, I think my superstitions are perfectly rational. I never speak of Macbeth in a theatre because it's bad form, not just because it is believed to welcome an accident. I don't discuss the plots of stories I'm writing because I worry that letting the idea flow before it gets on paper will soften my creativity, not because it will jinx the story. These predilections make sense to me, but I wouldn't say that they lead me to believe in curses. Yet a curse plagued our family for four years. It was the October curse, and it is the reason I did not post to the blog for a month. It was the reason why every time Jeanette's phone number popped up on my caller ID, I shuddered a bit. It was the reason why all of us demurred somewhat whenever we were asked to share how Jordan was doing last month. "She's doing great," we would say. And leave it at that.
October 8, 2004. We sat anxiously in the surgical waiting room of Children's Hospital. Jordan was up in the O.R. The neurosurgical biopsy had taken over two hours. Minutes after we watched the Angels swept by the Red Sox in the final game of the ALDS, her doctor greeted us to tell us that the surgery went well. It is the first time that we are told she may have cancer. And in the days that follow, the diagnosis is confirmed and cancer joins our family.
October, 2005. After an unexpected onset of seizures in August, Jordan's medical team begins a more aggressive chemotherapy regimen. By Halloween, 2005, she is thinner, paler and developing an usual gait. By Thanksgiving, she is in a wheelchair, crippled by a rare side effect from the chemo drugs.
October 16, 2006. Jordan visits CHLA for a routine chemotherapy appointment. She is brilliant, cooperating with the nurses and managing her anxieties well. Minutes before she is to be de-accessed and sent home, the team notices unusual behavior. Her speech is slurred. One side of her face is drooping. There is fear in her eyes. She is admitted and slips into a coma for nearly a week. At one point, the seizures are so severe that they last for over an hour and put her into respiratory distress. It is the darkest hour our family has faced, putting a damper on our zest for autumn. Though Jordan is home in time for Halloween and she displays a remarkable ability to bounce back, we are convinced there's something about October. We spend the next eleven months dreading it's return.
When October 1st rolled around this year, it became the month that must not be discussed. I believe you can squelch your phobias by shining a light on them. That's why I acknowledged the curse outright at a family dinner.
–You guys watch. This will be the year that Jordan crushes the curse.
Jeanette locked eyes with me over her dinner plate. She looked slightly annoyed, perhaps shocked that I would speak of the curse so openly with the children. But she's learned to tolerate my spontaneous pronouncements. I was, however, on my own with this one. The questions started rolling from the kids–Jordan in particular. Within a few minutes, we were all talking about Octobers past and our wishes for a healthy autumn. Somehow, the curse seemed less daunting. We had exposed it prowling over there in the corner, robbed it of its mystery and empowered its victim to take it on. Still, it was early in the month, and we were reluctant to taunt the monster. We worried she would trip and bump her head every time she grabbed the hula hoop in the backyard. We winced whenever she visited the hospital. We hovered over her and shortened the leash of activity we'd normally allow. This was October and we were determined she would be healthy. So was she.
October came and went and Jordan is well. She's on a brief break from chemo to let her counts increase. Despite spikes in her moods and ongoing fatigue, she bursts vibrantly into life with wit and charm and hope. October's passing doesn't make us rest that much easier, but we mark the milestones we can, for there are few times we've had cause to celebrate in Jordan's Journey. It's all too easy to surrender to fear and allow ourselves to slip into melancholy. Worrying casts a pallor on the journey and weighs each new step with unnecessary dread. We're on a path we cannot chart and a destination we must imagine bright. So we celebrate victory over our fears and the stamina of a heroine who breaks curses and lives eager to battle the next foe.

I've modified this from a post that I made on a DNA forum, in response to people discussing out-dated origin stories, in response to a thread looking at ancestral composition for the English. There is so much misinformation out there, and few people actually try to look at the latest evidences.
It starts by looking at the key points of a recent Irish study.
Ancient DNA from earlier Neolithic farmers suggests an origin from the Near East.
Later DNA from Bronze Age suggests a new population had arrived and dominated, with origins from the Eurasian Steppes, including the present day predominance of Y haplogroup R1b, lactose tolerance, and blue eyes. This displacement event appears to have occurred throughout much of Western Europe. The founder population on the Steppes has been linked to the archaeological population known as the Yamna or Yamnaya.
The Yamnaya were a population that existed across the Pontic and Caspian Steppes from what is now Ukraine, to Kazakhistan. They themselves were an admixed population, with ancestry from various different groups of Eurasian hunter-gatherers, and from the ANE (Ancient North Eurasian). They carried a number of successful adaptations, including the use of the wheel, improved selective breeding of horses for both riding and haulage, lactose tolerance, use of horse drawn wheeled carts, and a very successful pastoral based economy revolving around the herding of a number of species of livestock.
They are strongly figured to have carried an Indo-European language into Europe and elsewhere (South and Western Asia). That Indo-European language being the ancestor of the vast majority of modern European languages today. They may have also carried many of the most common haplogroups of modern Europeans, including Y hg R1a, R1b, and some mt hg H types among others.
There is a hypothesis that the earlier peoples of Europe, the Early Neolithic farmers, who had largely descended from early farmers in the Levant / Anatolia, had been suppressed by a number of possible environmental and climatic events. This might have paved the way for such a successful displacement of European populations.
As the descendants of the Yamna swept westwards into Europe during the Copper Age, so they spawned a series of new archaeological cultures including the Corded Ware of Eastern and Central Europe, and the Bell Beaker culture of Western Europe.
The Bell Beaker culture spread from Central Europe to the Western Atlantic Seaboard, and from Portugal up to Scotland. Classic artifacts include archer burials in round barrows, the bell beaker ware pottery, round scrapers, and barbed and tanged arrowheads. It was the dominant culture of Early Bronze Age Europe.
One suggestion is that it spawned the later Iron Age Celtic cultures, including the classic Western Atlantic Seaboard Celtic Culture. This culture may have simply evolved locally and through trade links along that seaboard.
The Irish study above supports the Yamnaya hypothesis. It supports displacement during the Early Bronze Age, and that the present day, fairly homogeneous population of Ireland, largely descends from Copper Age Eurasian Steppe pastoralists.
Okay, so what if we apply that also to the late prehistoric British populations? Scottish and West British today appear to have a close genetic distance to the Irish. How about the lowland SE British? It might be the case, that they had fresh admixture, exchanged with the Continent, and particularly with the expanding Germanic cultures. These events could have occurred even during late prehistory.
This genetic study looked at the British Isles including Northern Ireland, but excluding the Republic of Ireland. It tested a large sample group of present day British with known local ancestry.
Orkney had the most distinctive population, with a known high percentage of Norse ancestry.
The Welsh were distinct from the English. However, they were the most diverse group, with a clear division between the North Welsh and South Welsh. Cornwall was also distinctive from English.
Northern Ireland clusters with Scottish.
There was no homogeneous shared British "Celtic" population. The Scottish, North Welsh, South Welsh, and Cornish being quite distinct from each other.
The South-East British (most of the English) were surprisingly homogeneous, although the boundaries of the old Anglo-Saxon kingdoms could still be distinguished.
The Continental Anglo-Saxon contributiion to present day English people appeared to be circa 10% to 40%. This contradicts Bede's claims of a genocide. The English descend more from earlier British populations than they do from Anglo-Saxon immigrants.
Although the Norwegian Viking contribution to Orkney was distinctive, the Danish contribution to Eastern England could not be detected. This may be because of the close genetic distance between Danish Viking and some earlier Anglo Saxon settlers makes it impossible to see.
Although there was no "Celtic Fringe", the Welsh appear to be closest to the late prehistoric British population.
Any Iberian contribution appears to be tiny and insignificant.
There appeared to be a contribution in Southern Britain, particularly in Cornwall, from a population shared today by the North French. This contribution appears to have occurred during late prehistory and is historically unknown.
Okay, so that is suggesting a diversity across the British Isles that extends into Prehistory. A key finding to this thread is that it found the English to be an admixed population, with earlier British ancestry dominating Anglo Saxon ancestry from the Continent.
Iron Age and Anglo Saxon Genomes from Eastern England. Schiffels, Haak, etal. 2015.
This qualitative study focused on ancient DNA from a number of Iron Age and Anglo Saxon cemeteries in the Cambridge area of SE England, referenced against modern populations.
The closest genetic distances on the Continent between the Anglo Saxon settlers and present day Europeans was to the Dutch and Danish.
They found evidence of admixture and intermarrying. Individuals with both Iron Age British, and Anglo Saxon ancestry.
People of Iron Age British ancestry were adopting and embracing Anglo-Saxon culture and grave goods.
The richest graves were of local Iron Age British ancestry (with Anglo Saxon cultural artifacts). The poorest graves were recent Anglo-Saxon arrivals.
We have to be careful about who we regard as the Celts. A Celtic culture did exist, but it wasn't necessarily brought to the British Isles and Ireland by an Iron Age people. It may have developed on the Western Atlantic Seaboard from earlier Bronze Age peoples.
Those Bronze Age peoples, predominantly descended, from Eurasian Steppe Pastoralists, that had swept across Europe, bringing innovations. They are the oldest peoples of Ireland and the British Isles, but they did not form a homogeneous Celtic Fringe. There must be more to it.
The Anglo-Saxon event in SE Britain was a major and significant migration. However, it was not the genocide of Bede's claims. Hengist and Horsa were clearly mythological origin characters akin to Romulus and Remus.
The modern day English are an admixed population. They have a foot both in earlier British ancestry, and in Anglo-Saxon / North Sea migration.

Song of the Day 7/22/10
Our daily best 666 songs of alltime countdown is working its way through the top ten: just a week left before we reach the greatest song ever. Thursday's is #7:
The Boomtown Rats – Rat Trap
In his autobiography, Bob Geldof explained that this song was inspired by his brief tenure working at a slaughterhouse, particularly the line "pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores." An apt metaphor for the dead-end blue-collar life he chronicles here, a Springsteenish epic filtered through the cruel prism of punk rock. With a killer bassline by Pete Briquette, and the most exhilarating outro in the history of rock, Garry Roberts' and Gerry Cott's guitars melting into a firestorm, Johnnie Fingers sharpshooting through it on the electric piano. It's on the classic Tonic for the Troops album from 1978.

The best 666 songs of alltime countdown continues every day, all the way to #1. Monday's song is #52:
The Boomtown Rats – I Don't Like Mondays
Widely banned at the time it was released, this gorgeous piano-and-orchestra art-rock anthem memorialized the first schoolyard sniper attack (and unwittingly foretold many more to come – this was back in the days before the antidepressants that Kip Kinkel, Dylan Klebold and all of the other school shooters were taking when they pulled the trigger). From The Fine Art of Surfacing, 1979; there's also a killer live version with just Bob Geldof backed by Johnnie Fingers on piano on the first Secret Policeman's Ball soundtrack from two years later. Who would have thought that Geldof originally wrote this as a reggae song.

Der Blaue Reiter (ty. den blå rytter) var en tysk ekspressionistisk kunstnergruppe der blev grundlagt i München i 1911 af og med blandt andre Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc og August Macke. Gruppen udgav også Der Blaue Reiter Almanach som indeholdt essays af Kandinsky og Marc, samt samtidskunst og primitiv kunst.

Der Blaue Reiter blev grundlagt som et svar på at en anden kunstnergruppe, som Kandinsky var medlem af, Neue Künstlervereinigung München (NKVM), havde afslået Kandinskys maleri Das Jüngste Gericht (Dommedag, The Last Judgement) fra en udstilling. Gruppen var centreret omkring Kandinsky og Marc og havde ikke et klart udtrykt manifest.

Der Blaue Reiter var en af to tyske kunstnergrupper som var vigtige for ekspressionismen, den anden var Die Brücke som blev grundlagt i Dresden i 1905.

I årene efter 1910 holdt gruppen flere store udstillinger i Tyskland. Primitivismen var en vigtig kilde til inspiration for medlemmerne som også hentede inspiration fra børns kunst og var optaget af abstrakt form; de søgte tillige at udtrykke spirituelle sandheder gennem deres kunst.

Der Blaue Reiter blev opløst i 1914 med 1. Verdenskrig; Kandinsky vendte tilbage til Rusland. Marc og Macke faldt på slagmarkerne i Frankrig, og München som et særligt sted for den moderne kunsts avantgarde sluttede med opløsningen af Der Blaue Reiter

A Román Televízió bukaresti magyar adása 1969. november 23-án indult.

A magyar adás 1970–1989 közt

1970 elején még a hét két-három napján, majd a heti 90 perces műsoridőből 60 percet vasárnap, 30-at csütörtökön sugároztak (az adásidő 1970-ben: csütörtökön fél óra, vasárnap 55 perc volt). 1971-ben Bodor Pálnak, a Nemzetiségi Műsorok akkori vezetőjének, sikerült elérnie, hogy a kettőt egyesítve, hétfő délutánonként egy tömbben másfél órás (később két, majd 1978. február 20-tól három órára bővülő) magyar adás jöjjön létre, amely egyrészt a román televízió kis nézettségű idejét, másrészt a budapesti televízió hétfői műsorszünetét kihasználva, Románia egész területén, valamint a határ menti sávban Magyarországon is, összesen mintegy négymillió magyarhoz szólt. A műsort a feliratozás révén a román nézők is figyelemmel követhették.

A bukaresti magyar adás rendszeres politikai, gazdasági, társadalmi és művelődési híradót, ipari, mezőgazdasági, urbanisztikai riportot és dokumentumfilmet, szociográfiai és tényfeltáró riportsorozatot, portrésorozatot, tudományos, erkölcsi, egészségügyi riportokat, a jogi nevelés kérdéseiről vitát, kerekasztal-megbeszélést, történelmi tárgyú dokumentumfilmet, honismereti riportot, színházi előadást, képzőművészeti, irodalmi műsort – interjúk, versek, könyvismertetések –, folklórműsort, népzenét és könnyűzenét, dzsessz-zenét, olykor kamaramuzsikát, balettet, operát, operettet, régizene-fesztivált, tömegművelődési vetélkedőt, kabarésorozatot, ifjúsági rovatot, gyermekműsort, rajzfilmet és bábjátékot közvetített. A rajzfilm kivételével mindez saját produkció volt, az adás nem vett át "készárut" sem a hazai, sem a külföldi filmgyáraktól és tévé-producerektől.

Tudósításai, riportjai kiterjedtek az egész ország területére, így egyetlen informális egységbe fogták össze a romániai magyarságot. Ezek az anyagok azonban elütöttek a szokásos és a hatalom által elvárt vívmányriportoktól (Csép Sándor filmje a kalotaszegi egykézésről, Labancz Fridáé Simon Magda Borsi krónika c. riportkönyve alapján a mezőgazdaság helyzetéről, illetve Szalárd-monográfiája, Csáky Zoltán torockói monográfiája, Bartha Gábor Zsil-völgyi sorozata, Fischer István kolozsvári Tehnofrig-riportja stb.). Néhány film készítői túllépték a cenzúra tűréshatárát, így Csép Sándor filmje a kolozsvári Hóstát "városfejlesztés" címén történt felszámolásáról, vagy Fischer István játékfilmje Páskándi Géza szövege alapján (Legalább Európát), amelyet a cenzúra nem is engedett bemutatni.

Készítettek erkölcsi, oknyomozó riportokat, ilyen volt az Emberek és erkölcsök c. sorozat 1973-ban. Az 1970-es évek végéig Aradits László, Csép Sándor, Csáky Zoltán, Máthé Éva, Labancz Frida szerkesztésében egymást követték az erkölcsi oknyomozó riportok (ankétok), ezek közül 1979-ben Labancz Frida ACIN-díjat kapott Paprika ankét c. riportjáért. Rostás Zoltán elindította a Természet, tudomány, társadalom c. rovatot, amelyet az adás beszüntetéséig Mag Péter folytatott Horizont címmel. Ebben a rovatban hangzott el Rostás Zoltán szerkesztésében az a riportsorozat is, amely az egyetemekről és a könyvtárakról szólt, és amelynek Szabó Sándor és Gálfalvi Zsolt voltak a tudományos tanácsadói. Egy felső utasítás nyomán, miszerint foglalkozni kell a "szocialista mezőgazdaság eredményeivel és problémáival", Aradits László sorozatot készített Kahána Mózes Hat nap és a hetedik c., dálnoki ihletforrású regénye nyomán a Kovászna megyei faluról, s ehhez olyan kiváló erdélyi agrárszakembereket, egyetemi tanárokat nyert meg tanácsadóknak, mint Pap István, Nagy Miklós és Veress István. Megemlékeztek a magyar irodalom és történelem nagy évfordulóiról is: 1973-ban, a magyar forradalom 150. évfordulója alkalmából, Csép Sándor sorozatban mutatta be Petőfi Sándor erdélyi tartózkodásának színhelyeit Szatmártól és Koltótól a vízaknai és szászsebesi csatatereken át Fehéregyházáig.

Színházi előadásokat is vettek fel és közvetítettek. A közel 100 felvétel szerkesztője Sugár Teodor, majd Tomcsányi Jakab Mária volt. Forgattak és közvetítettek önálló tévé-játékfilmeket is, 1979-ig szám szerint mintegy 20-at. Ezek, illetve a tévére alkalmazott színházi előadások rendezői Fischer István, Ion Moisescu, Dan Grigore Popa, Tömöry Péter, Cselényi László belső munkatársak, Bokor Péter, Farkas István, Harag György, Kincses Elemér, Kovács Levente, Demián József, Mirel Iliescu külső munkatársak voltak. Közel 30 romániai magyar író színdarabja került így bemutatásra a tévé magyar nyelvű műsorában.

Készültek portré-interjúk és dokumentumfilmek az irodalom, a színművészet és a tudomány terén jeles személyiségekről (Balázs Ferenc, Beke György, Bözödi György, Csehi Gyula, Franyó Zoltán, Gaál Gábor, Horváth Imre, Horváth István, Kacsó Sándor, Kemény János, Kiss Jenő, Kós Károly, Méliusz József, Molter Károly, Nagy István, Olosz Lajos, Salamon Ernő, Salamon László, Sipos Domokos, Sütő András, Szemlér Ferenc, Tomcsa Sándor, Tompa László, ill. Jecza Péter, Kelemen Árpád, Erdős Imre Pál, Berde Amál, Unipan Helga, Vadász Zoltán stb.). Fischer István egyórás riportfilmet forgatott Nagy Imréről; portréinterjúban szólaltatták meg Balogh Péter szobrászt. Készült Szőnyi István-emlékfilm, Szolnay Sándor-portré, Budapesten is bemutatott Kovács György-portré (Fischer István). Forgattak portréfilmet Kőmíves Nagy Lajossal, aki főként elhunyt nejéről, a híres verselőadó művészről, Tessitori Nóráról tett vallomást. Fekete-fehér és színes portréfilmeken mutatták be Nagy Albert, Mohy Sándor, Balogh Péter, Fülöp Antal Andor, Incze Ferenc, Szász Dórián, Paulovits László, Sövér Elek, Sütő Sorban Éva, Hollósy Simon, Tőrös Gábor, Szőnyi István, Bordi András, Kocsis Előd művészetét. Ezek szerkesztői Ferencz Zsuzsanna, Huszár Irma, Aradits László, Xantus Gábor, Csép Sándor, Forró László (külső munkatárs) voltak.

Könyvbemutatók, interjúk, portréfilmek, megemlékezések alkalmával Bajor Andor, Balogh Edgár, Jordáky Lajos, Bartalis János, Beke György, Benedek Elek, Csiki László, Molter Károly, Dsida Jenő, Franyó Zoltán, Horváth Imre, Horváth István, Huszár Sándor, Kányádi Sándor jelent meg a képernyőn. Az 1980-as évek elején Gálfalvi Zsolt (külső munkatársként) a Sokszemközt c. műsorban beszélgetett Bálint Tiborral, Domokos Gézával, Farkas Árpáddal, Fodor Sándorral, Sütő Andrással, Lászlóffy Aladárral. Az írókról készülő portrék szerkesztői Labancz Frida, Csáky Zoltán, Csép Sándor, Huszár Irma, Szekernyés János (külső munkatárs) voltak.

Portréfilmek, interjúk készülnek olyan színészekkel, rendezőkkel, mint Lohinszky Loránd, Vadász Zoltán, Orosz Lujza, Csiky András, Illyés Kinga, Széles Anna, Tompa Miklós, Harag György, Taub János, Kovács Levente – szerkesztőik Labancz Frida, Huszár Irma, Csép Sándor, Máthé Éva, Tomcsányi Mária és mások.

Rengeteg helytörténeti riportot is sugároztak; főleg Labancz Frida, Aradits László, Csép Sándor, Csáky Zoltán és Józsa Erika járta a magyarok által lakott vidékeket.

A magyar adás műsorai népszerűsítették néprajzi, népköltészeti értékeinket. Messze sugárzó hatást ért el az a kezdeményezés, hogy felvállalták a táncházmozgalom támogatását. A Simonffy Katalin és Csáky Zoltán készítette Kaláka-sorozat (amelyben moldvai csángó népi énekeseket, táncosokat, zenészeket is felléptettek) vagy a Tiszta forrásból c. sorozat, melynek szaktanácsadója Demény Piroska volt, fontos szerepet játszott a mozgalom kiteljesedésében. A bálványosi vagy zsögödi folklórfesztiválról, a gyimesi csángó fesztiválról készített filmriportok példát szolgáltattak fesztiválok rendezésére más régiókban is.

A komolyzenei műsorok kialakításában László Ferencnek volt nagy szerepe, ezt folytatta Simonffy Katalin, Pódium és Zenei őrjárat c. műsoraival, amelynek keretében sok, abban az időben fiatal zenészt ismerhetett meg a néző: Rónai Antalt, Csíky Boldizsárt, Ruha Istvánt, Simó Katalint és másokat. A magyar adás felvállalta a régizene-mozgalmat is: támogatta és sugározta a Csíkszeredai Régizene Fesztivál rendezvényeit; Boros Zoltán az Énekben hallottam c. sorozatban bemutatta a magyar műzene erdélyi kezdeteit.

Fontos szerepet játszottak, ezúttal a hazai magyar zenekultúra modernizálásában, a Boros Zoltán által szervezett könnyűzene-műsorok vagy a székelyudvarhelyi Siculus Fesztiválról készült közvetítések is. A magyar adás indulásakor gyakorlatilag alig élt a romániai magyar könnyűzene, a műsorok hatására zeneszerzők, együttesek, szólisták egész sora érvényesülhetett; ezt bizonyítják megjelent hanglemezeik is. A legnépszerűbb énekesek, együttesek közt volt Tamás Gábor, Győri Klára, Bokor Ildikó, Nagy Mária, a Metropol, a Vox T, a Garabonciás, az Acustic T74, a Concord együttes. Ugyancsak Boros nevéhez fűződik, Csáky Zoltánnal együttműködve, a Zenés karaván c. nyilvános előadás-sorozat, amelyet Erdély különböző városaiban forgattak, Nagyváradtól Nagyszebenig és Brassóig, Csíkszeredától Nagybányáig. Ez zenés, szórakoztató és egyben művelődéstörténeti, helytörténeti adás volt. Műsorai Tapsoljuk Váradot, Tapsoljuk Kolozsvárt, Tapsoljuk Vásárhelyt címeken futottak. Sorozatainak fontos szerepük volt a fiatalok zenekultúrája fejlesztésében, a dzsessz, a régizene felkarolásában. Nagy nézettsége volt a Klub-délutánnak, amelyet Boros Zoltán szervezett, Csáky Zoltánnal együtt. A Feczkó Zoltán szerkesztette Vidám zenés magazinban hivatásos állami népi együttesek, műdal- és nótaénekesek, amatőr együttesek léptek fel.

A magyar adás 1972–85 között évente átlag 600 filmezett politikai-gazdasági híradót, mintegy 100 főriportot, 150 zenei műsort, 60-70 politikai kommentárt közvetített.

A bukaresti magyar adás első felelős vezetője Molnár Vilmos és Kónya Anna volt (1969–70). 1970 áprilisától 1979 szeptemberéig Bodor Pál irányította a nemzetiségi műsorokat, míg 1980-tól 1985-ig újra Molnár Vilmos felelt értük.

Az első szerkesztők nagyobbrészt a bukaresti rádió magyar adásának munkatársai voltak. Az alapító szerkesztőség tagjai: Tomcsányi Tibor, Labancz Frida, Kónya Anna, Molnár Vilmos, Birta József, Tóthfalussy Béla, Öllerer József, Ilya Ehrenkrantz. 1970-től Bodor Pál (főszerkesztő), Labancz Frida, Kónya Anna, Ferencz Zsuzsanna, Rostás Zoltán, Máthé Éva, Mag Péter, Csáky Zoltán, Huszár Irma, Kabay Annamária, Sugár Teodor, Feczkó Zoltán, Aradits László, Simonffy Katalin, Tolcsvai László, Sallay Ibolya, Zágoni Olga, Kovács András, Dávid Edit, Boros Zoltán, Csép Sándor, Majtényi Ágnes, Jakab (Tomcsányi) Mária, Molnár Vilmos (szerkesztők), Fischer István (rendező-operatőr), Tóthfalussy Béla, Bartha Gábor, Galbács Pál és Porzsolt Viktor (állandó bedolgozó szerkesztők, rendezők), Józsa Erika, Birta József (bemondó-szerkesztő), Öllerer József, Ilya Ehrenkrantz, Emil Lungu, Adelmann Alfréd, Mircea Bogdan, Xantus Gábor (operatőrök), Lukács Zsuzsanna, Majtényi Éva, Rostás Emilia, Silisteanu Eugenia (vágók), Todan Ildikó (fordító), Dan Grigore Popa, Ion Moisescu, Tömöry Péter, Cselényi László, Leonard Popovici (rendezők), Miklós-Pataky Georgina, Schwachter Ernő, Sebestyén (Spielmann) Mihály, Bisztricsányi Klára, Evellei László, Simény-Nagy Rozália (gyártásvezetők), Forró Eszter (titkár), Stoica Aurel (gazdasági titkár), külső munkatárs-rendezők Bokor Péter, Farkas István, Harag György, Szabó József, Taub János, Kovács Levente, Kincses Elemér, Demián József, munkatársak még: Forró Ágnes, Török Csorja Viola, Vári Attila, Kiss Ágnes.

Amikor 1985-ben egyetlen telefonutasításra megszüntették a bukaresti magyar adást, filmanyagát, a területi rádióstúdiók hangarchívum-anyagával együtt, egy jilavai raktárba helyezték el, ahol gyors pusztulásra volt ítélve. A betiltással véget ért a romániai magyar televíziózás első fejezete. 1989 karácsonyáig nem hangzott el magyar szó a román közszolgálati televízióban.

A magyar adás 1989 után

Az 1989-es romániai változások után a magyar adás néhány régi szerkesztője (Aradits László, Aradits Lukács Zsuzsanna, Boros Zoltán, Feczkó Zoltán, Miklós-Pataky Georgina, Rostás Emília, Simonffy Katalin, Todan Ildikó, Öllerer József), kihasználva az új politikai konjunktúrát, műszaki háttér és szerkesztőségi szobák nélkül, amatőr videósok (Schnedareck Ervin – Marosvásárhely, Dembrovszky Attila – Szatmárnémeti) és fiatal műszaki értelmiségiek (Györfi György, Kacsó Sándor) segítségével újraindították a magyar nyelvű műsort. A magyar adás munkatársi gárdája önálló főszerkesztőség lett. A feliratozás segítségével már a rendszerváltás első, zavaros pillanataiban is hozzáférhető volt a román nézők számára, így az adás betölthette az etnikumközi kommunikációs híd szerepét.

Ebben a szakaszban az alapvető különbség a korábbi ideológiai-politikai kényszer alóli felszabadulás, a burkolt metakommunikáció helyett a hiteles, szókimondó, világos tájékoztatás lehetősége volt. Újdonságnak számított az is, hogy az 1990-es években együttműködésre nyílt lehetőség a magyarországi közszolgálati televíziókkal, elsősorban az MTV-vel és a Duna TV-vel; az előbbivel műsorcserében, az utóbbival inkább közös produkciókban mutatkozott ez meg. A munkatársakat továbbképzésre Budapestre lehetett küldeni. Nagyobb szabású dokumentumfilmek készülhettek, főleg az ORTT, a Történelmi Film Alapítvány és a Duna TV támogatásával. Az Illyés Közalapítvány segítségével kiegészült a szerkesztőség műszaki bázisa. A bukaresti magyar szerkesztőség helyzete azonban hamarosan megváltozott: romániai monopóliuma megszűnt, nemcsak a számos kábeltévé-hálózat által nálunk is sugárzott magyarországi adók, hanem a román közszolgálati televízió területi stúdióinak (Kolozsvár, Temesvár, később Marosvásárhely) és még inkább a helyi magántévé-társaságoknak a létrejötte miatt, amelyek egy-egy kisebb körzetben ugyan, de együttesen jelentős számú nézőt vonzottak.

A magyar adást kezdetben hétfő délutánonként láthatták a nézők az RTV 1-es csatornáján, műsorideje három óra volt, de 1991 februárjától a Román Televízió akkori elnöke, Răzvan Theodorescu, megfelezte az adást: egyik része korábbi időpontra került, a másik az RTV 2-es csatornájára, amely a magyarlakta vidékeken akkor még nem volt fogható. Közel 1 millió néző fejezte ki írásban a tiltakozását (a listát az akkori főszerkesztő, Boros Zoltán személyesen adta át Petre Roman miniszterelnöknek), de a remélt intézkedés elmaradt. 1997-től viszont egy órával bővült a műsoridő: kedd délutánra kapott a szerkesztőség 60 percet, és így az egész Románia területére sugárzó RTV1-es csatornán heti két és félórás, az ország negyven százalékát akkor már lefedő RTV2-n pedig egyórás adása lett. Az RTV2-n 2000-től reggel is volt műsor, amelynek a feliratozásától az akkori vezetés eltekintett, hogy a műsor élő lehessen.

A 2000-es években a Román Televízió öt csatornáján jelentkezik műsorokkal a magyar adás: a közszolgálati televízió 1-es adóján (TVR1) heti két és fél órában (hétfőn), a 2-es csatornán (TVR2) heti egy órában (csütörtökön), a 3-as regionális csatornán (TVR3) heti 50 percben (pénteken), a Nemzetközi RTV adón (TVR International) kéthetente egy órában (pénteken), a kulturális csatornán (TVR Cultural) fél órában (csütörtökön). Tehát összesen heti 5 vagy 6 órában láthatók a román közszolgálati televízió bukaresti magyar adásának műsorai, ezeknek a műsoroknak adásideje azonban nincs mindig összehangolva az RTV területi stúdióinak magyar nyelvű adásaival. Az RTV1 2009-ben az ország 98%-át, az RTV2 80%-át, a csak műholdas RTV3 és a RTVR Cultural kb. 60%-át fedi le, a Nemzetközi RTV gyakorlatilag a határon túl (és interneten) fogható.

Az újraindult magyar adás műsorának skálája kiszélesedett: a Heti krónika c. hírrovat (Bodor Tamás, Nagy Éva, később Mosoni Emőke) az 1970-es évektől eltérően már nem a munkában elért sikerekről szóló formális beszámoló volt, hanem valós tájékoztatást nyújtott a magyar kisebbség életéről. A híradó és a kulturális tájékoztató műsorok mellett kedveltté váltak a stúdióbeszélgetések, amelyeken a magyarság életbevágó kérdéseit (népesedés, kivándorlás, anyanyelvi oktatás, az önálló magyar egyetem visszaállítása vagy a BBTE "magyar vonalá"-nak fejlesztése, a magyarság gazdasági megerősödése, az autonómia, stb.) vitatták meg a résztvevők. Helyet kaptak az adásban oktató-ismeretterjesztő filmek, ifjúsági és kabaréműsor, könnyűzene, a népi kultúra ápolására irányuló különböző rendezvények.

A változást követő első időszakban rendkívül nagy nézettséget hoztak a magyar szerkesztőségnek a közügyi eseményekhez kapcsolódó adásai, így tudósításai az 1990. március 19-i marosvásárhelyi véres konfliktusról (Simonffy Katalin, Györfi György, Schnedareck Ervin), Sütő András kálváriájáról (Aradits László), a bukaresti TV-székház ellen 1990 júniusában történt támadásról (Aradits László, Boros Zoltán). Műsoraikban (pl. Fórum – Boros Zoltán, Hivatalnak packázása – Koczka György, Napirenden – Galbács Pál) rendszeresen cáfolták a sajtóban és a köztévé különböző csatornáin a magyarságról elhangzott hamis vádakat. A magyar nyelvű médiában elsőként sugároztak dokumentumfilmet a második világháború végén a román hadsereg által elkövetett atrocitásokról (Fekete vasárnap, rendező Boros Zoltán, operatőr Xantus Gábor, 1993) és az 1956-os forradalom utáni megtorlások erdélyi magyar áldozatairól (szerkesztő Tófalvi Zoltán, operatőr Miholcsa Gyula).

A politikai, közéleti műsorok szerkesztői figyelemmel kísérték a román törvényhozásnak a kisebbségeket érintő ténykedését, a román–magyar kapcsolatok alakulását, az RMDSZ tevékenységét. Ezek a műsorok objektivitásuk és nyíltságuk miatt a román nézők körében is népszerűek voltak, s a politikai elit egy részében szintén pozitív visszhangot váltottak ki.

További rovatok: Rólunk van szó, Itthon, Nyílt tér, Quo vadis (közéleti, politikai, gazdasági vitaműsorok), Ébresztő (ifjúsági rovat, benne szatíra, kabaré, Kacsó Sándor, Schneider Tibor), Citadella (kulturális magazin, Mosoni Emőke, Kacsó Edit), Juhaimnak maradékát összegyűjtöm (a szórványmagyarság problémáit bemutató sorozat, B. Nagy Veronika és Vetési László), Műhely, Téka (erdélyi magyar építészeti örökség, képzőművészet, Bartha Ágnes), Manóvilág (gyermekműsor, Gödri Ildikó), színházi beszámolók, riportok, színészportrék (Tomcsányi Mária, Nagy Enikő), nyelvművelő műsor, egyházi rovat (Tövissi Ildikó), iskolarovat (Tövissi Ildikó, Kós Anna), zenés riportok (Antal Áron), Históriánk (Meltzer Éva Lia magyar történelmi sorozata), Harmadik part (hétköznapi pszichológia, B. Nagy Veronika, Sánta Ádám). Érdeklődésnek örvendett a Reggeli c. szerdai műsor (a bukaresti vagy Bukarestben dolgozó magyarokról, szerk. Gödri Ildikó), Egy csésze kávé (délutáni beszélgetések), a történelmi, kultúrtörténeti, hagyományőrző dokumentumfilmek (Balázs János, Boros Zoltán, Simonffy Katalin, Tomcsányi Mária, Tófalvi Zoltán, Xantus Gábor). Ezek célközönségének nemcsak a magyarokat tekintették, hanem általában a magyarul beszélőket. Kisebbség a kisebbségben címmel sorozat készült magyarul beszélő, magyar kultúrájú örményekről, zsidókról, szászokról, románokról, cigányokról (Koczka György, Balázs János, B. Nagy Veronika).

2001-ben a Román Televízió Társaság Magyar Szerkesztősége megkapta a Magyar Köztársaság Kisebbségekért Díját.

2002 utáni rovatai: Hűbelebalázs (ifjúsági), Zenezóna, F-élő közvetítés (paródia), Médiabefutó TV (tehetségkutató), Nyílt tér, Itthon (helytörténet), Civil fórum (nem kormányzati szervezetek), Műhely (képzőművészet) és Reggeli (RTV2-es élő műsor).

A műsorszerkezet 2009-ben: Heti krónika (hírek és tudósítások heti összefoglalása), Diákélet (tanügy), Sajtóban (újságírók faggatnak közéleti személyiségeket aktuális politikai kérdésekről), Létkérdések (társadalmi, gazdasági ankétok), Gazdasági fórum (román–magyar gazdasági kapcsolatok, szaktörvények, stb.), Megfogyatkozott nemzedék (értelmiségi portrék), Út, igazság, élet (vallás), Anyanyelvi őrjárat (nyelvhelyesség), Zenedoboz (erdélyi magyar könnyűzene), Ránk jött a 20 perc (humor), Erdélyi templomok (épített örökség), riportok, tényfeltáró riportok (szociális, közéleti, művelődési szolgáltató-ismertető), CineMA (a romániai magyar filmes szakma eseményei), Előadások (színházi előadások, gálaműsorok, szórakoztató műsorok), Különkiadások (ünnepi, történelmi események, személyiségek, politikai események stb.). Az RTV2-es, RTV3-as és az TVR Cultural csatornákon a Szieszta, Képzelt kávéház, Kultúra c. magazinműsorok.

Az adás nézettsége a rendszerváltás utáni feszültséggel terhes években megközelítette a főműsoridőét: elérte a 34%-ot, s nagyon sok román nézőt is vonzott. Az 1990-es évek közepétől a kábeltévé-társaságok kínálatában szereplő tévécsatornák széles skálája miatt a nézők abszolút száma az RTV többi műsorával arányosan csökkent. Ennek ellenére a felmérések szerint a Romániában vételezhető magyar nyelvű televízióműsorok közül az 1990-es évek közepén a legnézettebb adás volt. Ma a hivatalos nézettségi adatok szerint országosan percenként (amr) átlag 60-80 ezren tekintik meg (rating), ami 2-3%-os piaci részesedésnek (share) felel meg. Ezek az adatok az éven belül változnak: a téli ünnepi időszakban akár 700-900 ezres percenkénti átlagot és 12-14%-os részesedést is elérnek. Az is megfigyelhető, hogy az össznézettséget illetően a magyar tévénézők aránya 2-3 szorosa az országos adatnak.

Az 1990-ben újraindult bukaresti magyar adás első vezetője nyugdíjba vonulásáig (2002) Boros Zoltán volt, helyét Kacsó Sándor vette át eleinte megbízott, majd 2003-tól versenyvizsgázott főszerkesztőként.

A második alapító szerkesztőség: Boros Zoltán (főszerkesztő), Simonffy Katalin (főszerkesztő-helyettes), Aradits László, Aradits Zsuzsanna (szerkesztők), Miklós-Pataky Georgina (gyártásvezető), Rostás Emília (vágó), Feczkó Zoltán (szerkesztő, fordító), Todan Ildikó (fordító).

Gordhan, Koko Bombshells Bruise State Capture Narrative
Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn StumbleUpon Tumblr Pinterest Reddit VKontakte Odnoklassniki Pocket WhatsApp Telegram Viber Share via Email Print
The cross-examination of Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan and testimony of former Eskom excutive Matshela Koko have put a massive dent in the state capture narrative.
Bombshell 1. Gordhan conceded to the State Capture Commission that he had no evidence to prove SARS Commissioner Tom Moyane conspired with the Hawks & National Prosecuting Authority.
Bombshell 2. Koko accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of meddling in Eskom affairs, claiming the President axed him from the power utility because Optimum, a company whose board he chaired, owed Eskom R1.4bn.
Bombshell 3: Koko also said three judges had found he negotiated a contract with McKinsey Trillian at a time when he was at home on suspension.
ON display at the State Capture Commission last week were two witnesses that have come to symbolise the binary narrative of state capture – the villains on the one hand and the angels on the other.
The week started off with Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan who was pivotal in the establishment of the State of Capture Report by former public protector Thuli Madonsela and he later became one of the protagonists of the state capture narrative.
In the dying days of her term as public protector, Madonsela was burning the midnight oil to bring out her 'State of Capture' report but there was no money in the office of the public protector. She miraculously secured additional 'emergency' funding from treasury, headed by Gordhan at the time. Miraculous, because the former finance minister had imposed strict austerity measures in increased government spending. Gordhan has come to represent President Cyril Ramaphosa's "clean" administration.
Two years after his testimony at the State Capture Commission (2018), which was followed by hurdles, the minister known for his arrogance eventually pitched having defied the Commission at one point, by not appearing before it on grounds of "cabinet commitments". Initially, the application by former SARS Commissioner Tom Moyane to cross examine Gordhan was turned down and later, permission was granted on terms.
In his 2018 submission to the Commission, Gordhan had implicated Moyane of state capture including accusations that the latter had laid criminal charges against him based on malice and in pursuance of capturing the state.
As predicted, Gordhan brought with him his arrogance, penchant for belittling people more so those of a darker hue, and his superiority complex. On the opposite corner of the ring was Advocate Dali Mpofu, appearing for Moyane and he did not pull back any punches as he lunged into Gordhan.
Gordhan was to be cross-examined on five key issues, three of which evidence leader Advocate Chaskalson in his opening remarks, said fell away because it was common cause that Moyane had not laid criminal charges against Gordhan.
Mpofu refused to take the bait and demanded he cross examine Gordhan on these three aspects as well. His explanation was that they were all related to the two on which the Commission advised he dwell with. It was a brutal exchange as counsel for Moyane exposed Gordhan's contemptible character. At one point, Gordhan said Mpofu was hard of hearing – a jab which was met with a vicious counter punch from the lawyer: "You don't have to insult me Mr Gordhan….I'm not a child, Im not a pikinini…I'm not one of those Blacks that you undermine….Don't even think about it".
Despite Gordhan's long-winded and evasive answers, Mpofu managed to demonstrate and confirm this:
One of the elements that defined state capture was having been in the company of the Guptas
The association with the Gupta family has become one of the key flags raised when assessing "state capture". As can be seen in this picture, the Guptas were associating with just about every politically influential person in South Africa. Top Left: Thuli Madonsela receives an award from a competition managed and funded by the Guptas. Top Right A Gupta family member with former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel Bottom Left: One of the Gupta family members with former President Thabo Mbeki. Bottom Right. A Gupta member with former President Kgalema Motlhantle
Gordhan had lied to Parliament when he said he had never been to the Gupta's residence
Gordhan was racist
Gordhan had a track record of employing friends who did not have the qualifications for the job as he did his friend Ivan Pillay who he later offered a controversial pension payout, and others. In there, Mpofu brought in, without naming her, the matter of Gordhan's chief of staff who doesn't have the qualifications to be in the job and whose story has recently been resuscitated by the departure of another controversial appointment by Gordhan – former journalist Sam Mkokeli. The latter was appointed at the time when it became public that Gordhan's long-time spin doctor as SARS commissioner, Adrian Lackay, was employed by the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) but ended up being seconded to Gordhan's office.
Gordhan, the self-appointed saint among a sea of darkness, had accused Moyane of colluding with the National Prosecutions Authority and the Hawks with absolutely no evidence. Despite all his attempts at ducking the question of whether he had any evidence, he eventually conceded he had nothing. Chairman Raymond Zondo tried to rescue this bombshell of an admission by asking Gordhan if he knew of anyone who would have the evidence, "a picture perhaps of Mr Moyane with the Hawks," but this offering of redemption couldn't help the Minister. He knew of no one off-hand who could assist the Commission with this information.
Gordhan was part of former President Jacob Zuma's so-called 9-wasted years and had been at the helm of treasury for most of those years. Mpofu brilliantly pushed Gordhan to concede that treasury was key to state capture as this was the area from where money was pilfered. Having established this as fact, the advocate then moved to question the clean Gordhan on why Zuma would appoint him back at treasury when he wanted to pursue his state capture project. "He would need someone pliable in that position," Mpofu proposed. Pushed into a corner and in desperation, Gordhan diminished the position of treasury saying the office doesnt hold the power often perceived of it and that finance ministers are at times appointed to give credibility to the office in order to boost the confidence of investors and rating agencies. Well, well….
By the end of the cross examination, Mpofu had reduced the untouchable one to a whimper. It was simply inconceivable that Gordhan, the man who had helped orchestrate the Commission and accused his political foes of state capture, including journalists he didn't like – could not produce a stitch of evidence to prove Moyane colluded with the Hawks and NPA.
Ramaphosa Meddled In Eskom's Affairs
Unbeknown to us, a bigger bombshell was to come by way of Matshela Koko's testimony on Thursday evening in which he implicated President Cyril Ramaphosa in meddling in Eskom affairs where he (Koko) was group ceo. At the time, Ramaphosa was head of business and deputy president of the country. Koko told the Commission that Ramaphosa sent an instruction to the department of enterprises instructing it to convene a new board and fire Koko.
Ramaphosa, according to Koko, had him fired because there was a R1.4bn in penalties owed to Eskom by Optimum, whose board Ramaphosa chaired in 2012 and 2014: "The Chairman of Optimum in 2012 and 2014 was then Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa at the time when Eskom was owed R1.4bn which was not paid," Koko explained.
He promised to reveal more of the shenanigans of Optimum saying the mining company "is lying when it said it spent over a billion rands to buy Optimum mine without due diligence. Glencore is a very sophisticated company to buy Optimum mine without a due diligence. But they did that and the chairman then was Mr Ramaphosa. They owed Eskom penalties of R1.4bn, they never paid Eskom. There's no reason why the R1.4bn was not paid to Eskom, it was due to Eskom".
Koko said he got notification of his impending dismissal from the director general of public enterprises, in the presence of then Deputy Minister Ben Martin. Martin told him they were calling him out of courtesy to inform him of an imminent statement announcing the new board and the instruction to have him resign
Koko told the Commission he took Eskom to the labour court. "I'm saying to you Chair that the Deputy President interfered with Eskom. He said there must be a reason for me to be dismissed. What's more important Chair, that's an unlawful instruction," he said.
The relevant and contentious portion of the statement read thus:
The board is directed to immediately remove all Eskom executives who are facing allegations of serious corruption and other acts of impropriety, including Mr Matshela Koko and Mr Anoj Singh.'[4]
Koko threw in another bombshell. He told the Commission that he had a litany of accusations levelled at him. One of them was the charge that he had negotiated a contract with McKinsey Trillian. "Out there they say the judiciary is captured, especially North Gauteng High Court…I don't buy it, but someone must still find out how three judges said I negotiated a deal with McKinsey Trillian when I was sitting at home on suspension".
He tore into some of the witnesses whom he said had been to prison on grave charges including fraud and yet those were not brought to Zondo's attention. Even as the Chair attempted to explain the omission of such critical information – which went to the character and motives of the witnesses – Koko managed to plant into the public's mind, a seed of doubt about the true motives of the investigators of the Commission.
Koko arrived with graphs and bombshells and by the end of the evening, the evidence leader was silent with the Chair left to lead the witness.
He returns on the 11 December and promised to deal in more detail, with some of the accusations levelled at him.
Gordhan too is still to return. Their return should be riveting, but the big question is whether Zondo will summon Ramaphosa to respond to Koko's claims of interference in Eskom.

Andrew van der Merwe says:
"Once interrogated and cross-examined, all three have failed spectacularly to prove that state capture is a thing. Instead, what the commission has exposed is how private companies such as Bosasa, EOH and other businessmen used their influence to bribe government officials into getting multibillion-rand state contracts."
This is from the IOL article referenced by Jeff above.
Can someone please explain to me how the scale and systemic nature of that corruption does not amount to what has been called state capture?
Also, I'm failing to see how Gordhan's personality or character flaws, as highlighted by the race-card-playing Mpofu, somehow enable us to now sweep away everything we've seen of "state capture" – or whatever you want to call it – over the past decade. Please help me out here.
Excellent cross questioning by Dali Mpofu , Koko and excellent credible witness indeed.

Medicare For All Dominates Democrats' Health Care Debates Democrats are offering competing plans to provide universal health care coverage, all of which are variations on the Medicare-for-all plan that Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced.
In large part, the Democratic presidential primary is shaping up to be a debate about the future of health care in America. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is responsible for that in some ways, by running on a Medicare for All plan in 2016. Yesterday, Sanders introduced an updated version of his universal health care plan.
BERNIE SANDERS: Together we are going to end the international embarrassment of the United States of America, our great country, being the only major nation on earth not to guarantee health care to all as a right. That is going to end.
MARTIN: So how is the Sanders plan changing the political debate this time around? NPR political reporter Danielle Kurtzleben is in the studio with us this morning. Hi, Danielle.
DANIELLE KURTZLEBEN, BYLINE: Hey, Rachel.
MARTIN: So is the Sanders proposal in 2019 any different than it was in 2016?
KURTZLEBEN: I mean, it's largely the same from what everybody listening right now has probably heard. I mean, it is single payer, that payer being the U.S. government. So instead of you, your employer, the government all paying, you know, you just have the government paying. So yes, this would virtually eliminate private insurance. And also Medicare here would be a beefed-up version of what there currently is. It includes a lot of other benefits. It includes vision, dental. And the one big change from the last time that Sanders introduced this is long-term care. That's one big thing that he's added to that.
MARTIN: What do you mean? Can you just explain what that means?
KURTZLEBEN: Long-term care, you know, in community settings. It allows - it would give people the ability to pay for that long-term care, you know, for disabilities, that sort of thing.
MARTIN: So what's the reaction to the new and improved or, kind of largely the same, Sanders plan?
KURTZLEBEN: Well, I mean, first of all, you have opponents saying this is going to cost a whole bunch. Of course, Medicare for All proponents would say, listen, this just shifts the costs from you and your employer and insurance companies to the government. So that is the big debate you're going to hear. But speaking beyond cost, President Trump, the White House, put out a statement last night, saying that - emphasizing that they think this is a Socialist plan. The White House released that statement.
And then Republicans, the RNC yesterday, was also heavily emphasizing that this would mean new taxes and that a lot of people probably won't like that. Aside from that, that this would take away private insurance, and many Americans who have private insurance do like it.
MARTIN: Right. And those two things are true. It will mean higher taxes, and it will mean private insurance goes away.
MARTIN: Does this make things awkward at all for some of the Democrats who are in the presidential race right now? But they were all about the Sanders Medicare for All plan back in 2016. Now they're running against him. And it?
KURTZLEBEN: Right. I mean, so for the senators who were in favor of it last time, they've signed on again this time. Those senators are Cory Booker from New Jersey, Kamala Harris from California, Kirsten Gillibrand from New York, Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts. So those four who were running last - who are running now supported it then. They support it now.
MARTIN: You can do incremental change, which is sometimes a bad word for people who want some wholesale revolution.
KURTZLEBEN: Most definitely. And you can see that being a really big debate on the Democratic side. On the other hand, you could also say that Democrats have a lot of ideas, a lot of options, this time around.
MARTIN: Any idea about the political calculation that this comes down to? Because like we just alluded to, there are Democratic primary voters who want something big. And the incremental change isn't appealing.
KURTZLEBEN: Right. I mean, the bottom line here is that health care is touchy. Big bumper-sticker slogans tend to do well with people. You get to the particulars, that tends to upset voters.
MARTIN: NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben on NPR News.

Q: What does html.oldie mean in CSS? I found a line of code in CSS:
html.oldie .hero-gallery {
    height: 860px
}

What does html.oldie mean? I am guessing that this is for viewing of the HTML in different browsers, but I don't know exactly what this means.

A: .oldie is just a class. It's taking an element of class .hero-gallery inside an html tag of class .oldie and setting it's height property to 860px. The HTML might look something like this:
<html class="oldie">
    <!-- some HTML here -->
    <div class="hero-gallery">
        <!-- HTML for the gallery -->
    </div>
</html>

It's odd to see a class on the html element, but it's not any different from a class on any other element as far as CSS is concerned.

A: The .oldie class is a bit of CSS written by Jonathan Neal. It "tranforms (sic) CSS to be compatible with old Internet Explorer." It is documented here. It is meant to ensure that HTML5/CSS3 works in IE8.

The NEXT Data Centre designed by Sydney's Greenbox architects incorporates over 2000 sqm of office and 3000sqm of raised floor space. Arcadia was engaged by Construction firm Metrowest to provide Solar Shading and Louvre screens.
Arcadia worked with the designers at early stages to reduce the overall costs of the Solar shading system to the office facade. Through modelling, Arcadia provided an alternative solution which would reduce costs, reduce heat loadings and increase the solar shading performance. The Zest® sunshades were manufactured in modular system and connected to integrated cleat support system within the window facade.
Arcadia also provided complete supply & installation of over 1300sqm of Louvres for both screening and rain defence purposes. Arcadias continuous look single stage Spur® louvre system was used on this project.

I get the magazines from my dad who is 85 to be onsy and keep him happy.
Has anybody read Feb 1st 2004 WT Study artice the Scene of This World Is Changing.
The paragraph say " First, the kings of the earth (The political part of Satans organisation) will turn on the supporter of Babylon the Great (the religious part) and will then destroy them).
There is no mention of the UN whatsoever!!!
Sorry it should have said nosey!!!
Personally, i believe none of that. But, you could try looking at as if it's already completely finish on jerusalem in 70 and 135, when it was destroyed and jews were dispersed. It's called preterism, and there is a commentary on revelation that explains it all like that. It's available on the net. It's called days of vengence, by david chilton.
confirm the Sociey had dropped the UN in prophecy.
Yep...It appears they just don't like to speculate on things like that and we shouldn't either.In like manner we should no longer speculate about the meaning of "generation" or who the king of the north is in bible prophecy.
Truly I say to you,today the light is growing dimmer and dimmer and then the lights will go out on this vile excuse for a religion.
i beleived everything they said. Didnt plan a pension as i could never get that old then they changed it and said they had clarified the understanding. They didnt even apologise. That was the start of my journey out but it took 7 years.
I'm not sure... but welcome to the board.
Perhaps it would be wise not to speculate who the "faithful and discrete slave" is as well. Meantime after studying Isaiah good JWs will redo Revelation and consider how the 2nd trumpet blast was fulfilled when Judge Rutherford blew his nose at the International Convention in Neverheardof Springs, Idaho.
United nations is a wast of good money, a very stupid idea.

Sudanese President Bashir Dissolves Cabinet, Appoints New PM
President Omar Al-Bashir
President Omar Al-Bashir on Sunday dissolved the Sudanese government and named a new prime minister, Motazz Moussa.
Al-Bashir said the move is aimed at fixing a crisis-hit economy battered in recent months by shortages of bread, fuel and hard currency.
Motazz Moussa replaces Bakri Hassan Saleh, who was appointed in 2017 as the country's first prime minister since Bashir came to power in 1989.
Moussa had been serving as minister of irrigation and electricity before the government was dissolved.
Saleh, who had been serving as both prime minister and vice president before the shake-up, will stay on in the newly created post of first vice president, while Osman Yusuf Kubur was appointed second vice president.
The announcement came just after Bashir called an emergency meeting of ruling party officials in the presidential palace on the back of growing economic concerns over price rises and shortages.
No other ministerial appointments were announced, but the number of ministries in the new government will be slashed to 21 from 31, a move intended to cut down on spending, National Congress Party Deputy Chairman Faisal Hassan told a news conference.
The ministers of foreign affairs, defence and presidential affairs will remain in their posts when the new government is formed, Hassan said.

Organizing an entire property, building, or storage unit signifies sifting by means of items to determine what's salvageable in addition to what's waste. Some items can be kept or resold; others go straight to the actual recycling center or the regional dump. You will need somewhere to set junk after it's out of your building-and chances are, you do not have the time or energy to generate back and to fruition to the landfill every time. That's where a specialist junk removing team is available in, to get that waste off the house and from a life. When you're dealing with the decline of a loved one, you desire the house cleanout to be seeing that smooth in addition to painless as it can be. A useless hauling corporation will endeavor to make that happen.

Georgia Park May Close

Georgia park where Jefferson Davis captured may close
Todd DeFeo
ATLANTA, December 10, 2013 — The park that commemorates the location where Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured in 1865 may close because of a lack of revenue.
According to a report from WALB-TV, the 13-acre Jefferson Davis Memorial Historic Site in Irwinville may close by June. The park's $10,000 in annual revenue is short of the $50,000 needed per year to fund operations.
"The revenue that come is not satisfying what the expenditures are so we're looking at ways to keep the park open," Joey Whitley told the station. Whitney is a descendant of James Clemens, the man who in 1920 deeded the land to the state of Georgia.
After camping in Irwinville overnight, Davis was captured early on the morning of May 10, 1865, by Union cavalry. As Davis tried to elude his pursuers, he apparently donned his wife's overcoat or shawl to keep warm, which led to a rumor that he was wearing women's clothing at the time of his capture.
The park, built by the Works Progress Administration in 1939, includes trails, a small museum and a memorial marking the precise location of Davis' capture. The park was operated by the state of Georgia until 2009 when Irwin County assumed control after the state opted not to fund operations, according to a 2009 report in the Tifton Gazette newspaper.
Davis was imprisoned for two years, and his citizenship was not restored until 1978. In signing the bill to restore citizenship, President Jimmy Carter said this "officially completes the long process of reconciliation that has reunited our people following the tragic conflict between the States."
Irwinville is located about 170 miles south of Atlanta. A community meeting to discuss the park's future is planned for Tuesday.

The seven-week, 7 credit hour Vanderbilt in Berlin summer program offers students an opportunity to study German, improve German-language skills, and take courses in English and German. This program is also open to students with no prior knowledge of German. Students participate in a weeklong orientation course on the history and culture of Berlin (1 credit hour), then take two six-week courses (6 credit hours) or one intensive language course (6 credit hours). All courses include regular excursions to course-related locations. A limited number of scholarships are available.
It is not uncommon for Vanderbilt undergraduate students to receive prestigious fellowships and awards such as Fulbright, DAAD, Mellon, and Delta Phi Alpha scholarships, all of which have been received by our students in recent years.

Q: How to make Python's winreg see entries in the registry that are visible in the Registry Editor for Adobe CC programs? I am trying to use the winreg library of python to access the registry keys for Adobe products (Photoshop, After Effects, Ect.), and while i can see the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subkeys in the Registry Editor, Python can't seem to see the same keys. Is there a permission that needs to be changed or am I approaching this the wrong way?
Here is a Screen cap summarizing the results so far
The code I'm running to see this is:
import winreg
i=0
while True:
    try:
        # self.aeKey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Adobe\\After Effects\\16.0")
        key = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r"SOFTWARE\Adobe\Setup\Reader")

        printTest = winreg.EnumKey(key, i)
        print(printTest)
        i+=1
    except WindowsError:
        break

Which results in me having the return of
Acrobat Distiller
Acrobat PDFMaker
Adobe AIR
Adobe ARM
CommonFiles
ExtendScript Toolkit
ExtensionManager
PDF Admin Settings
Registration
Repair
Setup

But not
Adobe Bridge, Adobe Acrobat, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.
Edit: I'm Running 32-Bit Python currently.

A: @martineau from the comments hit it right on the head! I needed to change the Access key in order to allow 64 bit registries to be found.
import winreg
i=0
while True:
    try:
        # self.aeKey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Adobe\\After Effects\\16.0")
        key = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r"SOFTWARE\Adobe",0, winreg.KEY_READ | winreg.KEY_WOW64_64KEY)
        assert key != None, "Key = None"
        printTest = winreg.EnumKey(key, i)
        print(printTest)
        i+=1
    except WindowsError:
        break

Now produces
Acrobat Distiller
Acrobat PDFMaker
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Bridge
After Effects
Animate
Character Animator
CommonFiles
Dreamweaver 2020
Dreamweaver CC 2019
Identity
Licensing
Photoshop
Prelude
Premiere Pro

Thanks for all the help!
