Amy was a guest on the Food Network Special "Life's a Party with David Burtka". The special premiered last night on the Food Network (I apologize for not notifying you of it sooner). Be sure to check your local listings for re-runs of the special. For now, read the description of the special below and watch the trailer. The gallery has been updated with behind the scenes image and captures from the trailer.
Judging from the chef's new Food Network special, Life's a Party with David Burtka (premiering September 18th at 12pm ET/PT), the chef — and husband of Neil Patrick Harris — knows how to put together a great gathering. In an exclusive clip of the show, he is seen preparing for a rooftop birthday bash he is throwing for his best friend, actor James Carpinello.
And it's a good thing, because Burtka and Harris's 5-year-old twins, Gideon and Harper (adorably) help the chef get ready for the party and are also in attendance.
Also rounding out the guest list is close pal Kelly Ripa, who is seen excitedly greeting the kids when she walks in, actress Rachel Harris, Carpinello's wife Amy Acker and their children.
As for the host's husband? "I regret not being able to attend," says Harris to the camera, clearing in a different location. "Or am I?" (Spoiler alert: he shows up and surprises the gang).
Hey everyone! Amy is in one of Julian Smith's (a comedian) sketches called "Everything's Okay Now". Check it out below!! Amy was fantastic! It was a very nice surprise for me to see her in the sketch, since I am a fan of Julian! Captures have also been added to the gallery!
Amy on "Person of Interest" Tonight!
Don't forget to watch Amy on the season finale of CBS' "Person of Interest"! Captures will be up shortly after the episode airs!
Amy is going to guest star on another show this year! She will be appearing in the season finale of CBS's "Person of Interest". Can't wait to see it! Isn't all this new Amy stuff great?!
Amy Acker has won a role in the Person of Interest season finale.
The installment, to air on May 17, will see the former Angel star play a psychologist, reports TV Guide.
Catering only to the rich and powerful, her character comes to the attention of Reese (Jim Caviezel) when she is targeted by one of her clients.
Acker has previously appeared on Once Upon a Time, Alias and Dollhouse.
She has also re-teamed with Angel co-creator Joss Whedon on his new film The Cabin in the Woods.
Person of Interest was picked up for a second season last month, along with 17 other CBS shows.
The series airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Q: Subtracting a half-normal distribution from a normal distribution Suppose I have two independent random variables $X_1$ and $X_2$, where the former is a Gaussian distribution and the latter is a half-Gaussian distribution, both with 0 means.
$X_1 \sim \mathcal{N}(0, \sigma_1)$
$X_2 \sim \left \vert \mathcal{N}(0, \sigma_2) \right \vert $
I'm trying to find the probability that a sample from $X_2$ is greater than a sample from $X_1$. In other words, I would like to formulate $P(X_1 - X_2 > 0)$ given parameters $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and understand a relationship between the two variances and $P$.
I know that the $P$ is at least $0.5$ since $P(X_1 < 0) = 0.5$, but I need help figuring out the rest. My background is not in statistics, so any pointers in the right direction would be helpful. Please let me know if I should supply any additional details. Thanks!

A: With probability $\frac12$, we have $X_1\le0\le X_2$. For the other case:
\begin{eqnarray*}
P(X_1\ge X_2\mid X_1\gt0)
&=&
\frac2{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma_1^2}}\frac2{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma_2^2}}\int_0^\infty\mathrm dx_1\exp\left(-\frac{x_1^2}{2\sigma_1^2}\right)\int_0^{x_1}\mathrm dx_2\exp\left(-\frac{x_2^2}{2\sigma_2^2}\right)
\\
&=&
\frac2{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma_1^2}}\int_0^\infty\mathrm dx_1\exp\left(-\frac{x_1^2}{2\sigma_1^2}\right)\operatorname{erf}\left(\frac{x_1}{\sqrt2\sigma_2}\right)
\\
&=&
\frac2\pi\arctan\left(\frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2}\right)\;.
\end{eqnarray*}
(I let Wolfram|Alpha do the integration, but I suspect you can do it by differentiating under the integral sign with respect to $\sigma_2$ to turn the error function into a Gaussian.)
Putting the two cases together, we have
$$
P(X_1\ge X_2)=\frac{\arctan\left(\frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2}\right)}\pi\;.
$$
In particular, for $\sigma_1=\sigma_2$ this yields $P(X_1\ge X_2)=\frac14$, as expected.

Fiat Chrysler Turns to Google and Samsung for Autonomous Driving and Infotainment Tech
Rather than develop its own autonomous vehicle interface, FCA will instead utilize one developed by Google and its subsidiaries
When it comes to self-driving, FCA is going third-party
Photo: FCA/Waymo
In recent years, an increasing number of automakers have revealed their plans to develop autonomous capabilities for their vehicles in-house. One automaker that has been rather quiet about anything on the self-driving front is Fiat Chrysler. That is, until now.
FCA recently announced its intention to utilize technology from Alphabet Inc's Google and Samsung subsidiaries to connect all of its vehicles by 2022.
An Autonomous Partnership: Google's Waymo orders 62,000 self-driving Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans
Rather than develop a self-driving system on its own, FCA will instead rely on Google's self-driving systems and programs. This aligns with FCA's previous partnerships with Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving subsidiary.
FCA's partnership with Google and Samsung will extend beyond autonomous driving as well. The automaker will also utilize the Android operating system globally for any in-vehicle infotainment, instead of relying on software that varies by region.
Doing so will bring some of Google and Samsung's most popular music and video-based apps and programs to the infotainment systems of FCA's vehicles. The new tech will also be able to make use of Samsung's cloud-based digital platform. Information supplied by the new Google and Samsung-based tech can even help drivers locate fuel and charging stations, receive traffic updates, and even predict maintenance needs.
What FCA Has in Store: Fiat Chrysler's business plan unveiled
The reliance on a third-party organization for in-vehicle tech and autonomous driving comes with its own set of pros and cons. While FCA will avoid spending money on developing self-driving tech, its autonomous advancement will be directly tied into the success of Google's own initiatives. Plus, if Google and Samsung decide to end the partnership, it would be back to square one for FCA.
FCA owners won't have to wait long to make use of this tech. The automaker says that the new capabilities will be available sometime in the second half of this year.

In 2014-2015, we offered beginner's training in Mandarin to MFL PGCE students across the UK. This included both our online course for beginners, some face-to-face training in July and the opportunity to apply for the Experience China course (which is open to all teachers who are new to Mandarin and would like to introduce it in their school).
In total, 75 MFL PGCE students from 13 different universities participated in the online course in Beginner's Mandarin.This is a self-study course (also open to teachers new to the subject who would like to introduce it in school), which provides materials and resources to study, alongside online classes with native speaker teachers.
I have enjoyed learning the beginners Mandarin so far as it is so different to learning other languages. I find the visual element really exciting and I'm sure that students will feel the same. It also feels like an achievement to be able to read some basic Mandarin!
Fascinating intro to Chinese culture and history/ customs… I felt I made a lot of progress during the week.
Leo's session using classroom pedagogy to teach us the language was very useful as it seemed real and showed us how we would teach Chinese in the classroom.
The language session with Yu Laoshi was fantastic- well structured and I really felt I progressed.
20 students also participated in our "Experience China" trip- an intensive two-week language course at East China Normal University in Shanghai.
Morning classes with Fei Fei were really engaging and informative, loved them. Her teaching was incredibly professional and she had a great rapport with the class.
It was a great experience to be here in Shanghai and get to know more about this country and culture.
I have throughly enjoyed the two weeks training in Shanghai and have gone from barely being able to communicate to being able to use what I have learnt to book tickets, ask for prices, directions etc… now I can't wait to come back to China again.
Here's looking forward to 2015-2016!


ESPN, Inc.: 1981 in Review - ESPN Press Room U.S.
ESPN, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, concluded another highly successful year in the affiliate marketing area by adding 435,307 new subscriber households and 137 new affiliate cable systems in December, leaving The Total Sports Network with a total of 13,609,478 subscribers and 3,033 affiliates at the end of 1981.
During the year just completed, ESPN added 6,280,156 subscribers to an initial base of 7,329,322 households at the start of 1981, an 86% jump. In addition, 1,735 systems were added to the 1,298 who were ESPN affiliates a year ago, an increase of 134%.
ESPN added an average of 523,346 new subscriber homes and 145 new cable affiliates each month during 1981.
The current figures give The Total Sports Network penetration into 16.7% of U.S. television households and 64.3% of U. S. Cable homes after only 28 months of regular service. ESPN now penetrates 200 of the 205 Nielsen DMAs (Designated Market Areas) as well.
In 1981, the network eclipsed the one million mark in homes reached in New York City, the nation's largest market, and is now received by more than 250,000 households in eight DMAs. They are (in order): New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco-Oakland, San Diego, Hartford-New Haven, Los Angeles-Palm Springs, Houston and Seattle-Tacoma.
ESPN has six Regional Marketing offices across the country, located in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and New York, which recruit and service cable affiliates. Two Local Ad Sales Consultants work with affiliate systems to establish and operate successful local advertising sales efforts.
In 1981, ESPN's programming lineup, the most extensive and diverse sports schedule in the history of television, added a number of key acquisitions, including the network's first exclusive bowl game — the 1982 Senior Bowl, its first NASCAR Grand National races and a contract with the NASL to televise 20 games. ESPN also televised its first live event from overseas, the IAAF World Cup Track and Field championship from Rome, Italy.
The Total Sports Network, a subsidiary of the Getty Oil Company, is the largest advertiser-supported, exclusively cable-delivered network in America.

250-year-old masonic letter sent from Amsterdam discovered during Skipton Lodge audit
A letter written more than 250 years ago in Amsterdam, congratulating the new master of a Leeds Masonic Lodge, has been discovered amongst the pages of a book in the market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire
In the two-page letter penned in 1762, Lewis Bastide, a member of Golden Lion Lodge, also speaks of his experience with foreign lodges in the Dutch capital and his intention to form an English lodge in Amsterdam.
The correspondence was unearthed by Chris Hill, secretary of Craven Lodge No. 810, during an audit of historical books and documents, where it was found in an envelope tucked into an old copy of a Book of Constitutions.
From records held at The Library and Museum of Freemasonry in London, the Golden Lion Lodge was warranted by the Premier Grand Lodge of England on January 8, 1761, and numbered 258 on the Roll of Lodges, and initially called 'A Masters Lodge'.
The Warrant for Lodge No. 258 was issued by Lord Aberdour, Grand Master, and appointed Sir Henry Ibbetson to be Master, Lewis Bastide to be Senior Warden and George Lawman to be Junior Warden.
During the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, Sir Henry raised a corps of 100 men at his own expense and, in recompense for his loyalty, was created a Baronet.
Lewis Bastide was a prominent merchant in Leeds whilst George Lawman was a master Surgeon in the Army. The lodge met at various taverns in Leeds including, from 1766, the Golden Lion, Briggate, from which the Lodge took its name in 1772. However, it ceased to meet regularly from December 1780, and was erased on February 1, 1786.
The only information available about the Lodge's members is a list of names which appears in a volume entitled List of Members 1770.
Chris Hill, Secretary of Craven Lodge in Skipton, said: 'This wonderful letter was found totally by accident when I was conducting an audit of lodge possessions.
'It was in a plain envelope and fell out of the pages of an old Book of Constitutions. Despite it being there for goodness knows how long, the letter is in remarkably good condition, and is now carefully preserved.
'The contents of the letter are fascinating and give an insight into Freemasonry in Leeds and Amsterdam more than 250 years ago. It's just a shame the name of the Master Lewis Bastide was writing to congratulate is not known.'
Below is the transcribed letter in full:
To Golden Lion Lodge No. 285
Amsterdam - the 23rd March 1762
Dear Sir & Brother,
I should have troubled you before now with a few lines had my business allowed me the time to write them, which I hope you will excuse: the friendship and brotherly love reigns no less betwixt us for all that, at least on my side and I dare flatter myself of its being the same on yours.
It is with great deal of pleasure that I have heard by Brother Geo. Scott that the Brethren have elected you Master of our Lodge, of which I wish you joy. What pleases me the most and what I can say without flattery is to see that our worthy Brethren have recompensed your merits, and that they have done but what you justly deserv'd by the zeal you have always shew'd for the Craft, and the trouble you have taken in helping to make the Lodge upon a good footing and to maintain a good order in the same, which I doubt not but you'll continue, especially now that you are at the head of it, and to which I take the liberty to exhort you and the rest of the Brethren , and to see our laws well observed by everyone in the Lodge. For what greater beauty and pleasure there can be than to see a good order kept in a Society? It is that only, that creates and maintains a good harmony and friendship amongst the members thereof.
You'll have heard that I have had the pleasure of visiting some foreign Lodges, where there is such a good order kept that you would be charmed with if you was to see it. I was admitted to one in Amsterdam where the Baron of Boetzelaer, Grand Master of Holland assisted, and as I had the honour of being placed by him, he asked me several questions about our Grand Lodge at London and how Masonry went on in England to which I answered in the best manner I was able. They did me the honour of drinking our Lodge's prosperity which I return'd in a proper manner. I have met with some Brethren in Amsterdam, whom were made in England and being desirous to work in the English way I instruct them in the same and am going to form an English Lodge in the said place having accordingly wrote for a Constitution to Bro. Spencer.
I further observe that you are increased in number, and that you are removed to the old Kings Arms. I must beg to tell you upon the first article that you should be very discreet in taking people in; you know what we had resolved upon before I left Leeds, and I hope if we keep them rules our Lodge will flourish and will be composed of good sorts of people. In regard to the other article, that is about changing the Lodge, I did the necessary for the same and paid 2/6d to Bro. Spencer for it which please to note in conformity.
I cannot say to have anything further to write at present but to wish you health, happiness & prosperity in all your undertakings, and to Salute you as well as to the rest of the Brethren, by the number only known of the Enlighten'd mortals and believe me always Dear Sir and Brother
Your most obed't and Humble Serv't, and Affectionate Bro.
Lewis Bastide
PS: I am afraid I shall not be so happy as to be with you before May. If I can be of any service to you or to any other friend please to give your letters to young Tennant who will take care to forward them to me.

Gulf War veteran is fighting again
HEALTH: BATTLING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
DAVE ELLIS/THE FREE LANCE–STAR
Stafford County resident Geri Davis served as a combat medic in the Gulf War. Her most difficult battle is with multiple sclerosis.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning and end of the Gulf War. More than 600,000 Americans deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield. This is the first story in an occasional series.
Posted: Saturday, April 16, 2016 12:15 am
BY KRISTIN DAVIS/THE FREE LANCE-STAR
by Kristin Davis
King Fahd Airport suddenly went dark.
Army Staff Sgt. Geri Davis found herself alone in a latrine, a pinpoint on an airfield flung across the vast Saudi Arabian desert. She hit the floor, readying her rifle for whatever might come.
It was her third night in the Middle East—and the second time she thought she might die.
"We thought we were going to be killed as soon as we got off the plane," said Davis, then a licensed practical nurse with the 15th Evacuation Hospital at Fort Polk, La.
It was January 1991. They'd come to the Middle East under the threat of biological and chemical warfare.
Davis, like most, was not a combat veteran. War was the last thing on her mind when, in 1983 at the age of 27, she joined the Army Reserves.
After high school, she'd gone to work for the federal government in Washington. She'd toiled as a legislative aid and a stenographer and typist.
She wanted more.
"Be All You Can Be," the Army had urged in a catchy jingle aired on TV, and her future was set. Money for college. A chance to be part of the medical field that fascinated her.
She trained to become a combat medic and LPN and enjoyed every minute.
Then, seven years later, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Diplomatic efforts failed to resolve the crisis. On Jan. 16, 1991, the U.S. led an international coalition to oust Iraq from the tiny, oil-rich country thrust as suddenly onto the global stage as Davis and her comrades were thrust into conflict.
On the floor of the latrine, in a country she'd never had occasion to consider, minutes passed. The lights came back on. Davis gathered herself.
Over the next four months in the desert, she would not fear for her life again. The war was over almost as quickly as it had begun. The coalition had been victorious.
"When I came back, I kissed the ground and thanked the Lord," Davis said.
The most significant battle of her life was still ahead.
NOT A SCRIMMAGE
More than 600,000 American service members deployed to the Middle East in support of a war that began and ended 25 years ago. Of those, 292 did not come home.
"There was danger at every point," Davis said recently from her home in Stafford County, where a small bookcase is dedicated to her time there. "Don't let people tell you it was nothing or it was a scrimmage. That was our life."
The 15th Evacuation Hospital arrived just south of the Iraqi border on Jan. 25, 1991—just more than a week after the coalition began its bombing campaign, according to a 2001 U.S. Army Medical Department Journal.
Within six days, the hospital was ready to treat its first patients. By Feb. 7, it was fully operational, with 400 patient beds, eight operating rooms, intensive care units and laboratory and radiology services.
Most beds remained empty. But by spring, 1,000 patients would be treated there.
Davis was put in charge of a morgue that, thankfully, remained empty, she said. She tended to shrapnel wounds and friendly fire incidents. One soldier she helped treat had stepped on a land mine.
She listened to her patients talk about their families back home, looked at photographs carried halfway around the world.
She helped keep the hospital safe and sanitary. When sirens pierced the silent night, she did what she felt she must to protect panicked patients.
"People would scream. I'd have to knock them out to put on their masks," Davis said. "The whole purpose was to come back alive and bring back alive whoever else we could."
She served guard duty when she was needed, lying on a cot in the dark with a radio in one hand and a rifle in the other.
"A lot of Iraqis were trying to get on post, not to kill us, but because they were hungry," Davis said.
She watched a car barrel across a barrier and refrained from firing, she said. "They wanted some food. They were not a threat. Saddam Hussein was starving them."
She worked 12-hour shifts and showered every other day, scrubbing herself and her dusty clothes beneath the spigot.
The sun beat down by day. When night fell, the black desert seemed to stretch all the way to the stars.
Sometimes, Davis wondered if all of this was real or if she'd somehow ended up in an episode of "M*A*S*H."
In this war, soldiers still waited on letters from home.
Davis' first piece of mail came 45 days after she arrived. It was a card from her mother, shaped like a medal with the words, "I done real good."
They all had.
"Their skill, professionalism and courage inspired America and brought back a sense of honor and prestige to our military that continues to this day," the National Desert Storm War Memorial Association writes on its website. "America had braced itself for a new Vietnam, but instead the Iraqi army was defeated after a month of bombing and a 100-hour ground campaign. Generals like Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf became instant heroes. America embraced the military with an enthusiasm not seen since World War II."
Back home, Davis marched in victory parades. She accepted flowers and medals—a Bronze Star among them.
She put into a scrapbook postcards from the Middle East, a Polaroid of herself on top of a camel, newspaper articles her mother had clipped telling the story of women at war.
"We were with our male counterparts," Davis said. "Women were pilots, women were driving trucks. Women were doing everything. We were all together. It didn't matter. We were there with each other to help each other survive."
The 15th Evacuation Hospital personnel left by big, yellow school bus. She has pictures of that, too, of local children smiling wide smiles and waving.
"We felt like we were heroes," Davis said. "We did something good for mankind. Mission accomplished."
Davis returned to her reserve unit with the 2290th U.S. Army Hospital.
For the next five years, she fulfilled her military duties whenever she was called upon. She worked in the private and public sector in a variety of jobs, many of them medical—as an EMT and a CPR and first aid instructor, in a nursing home and a prison.
Davis was discharged in 1996 as a sergeant first class. Her health was not what it had been, she said, and she wanted to go out on top.
Less than a year after returning from the Gulf, a blood clot in the leg put her in the hospital for a week. She temporarily lost her vision. She passed out.
The diagnosis came at the end of 1999: Multiple sclerosis.
As she battled symptoms that would ultimately put her in a wheelchair, Davis watched from the sidelines as the U.S. went back to war in the Middle East.
"When 9/11 happened, I went through a crisis a little bit. We felt we'd taken care of everything. We thought that was it," she said. "It was heartbreaking."
Davis met with a counselor at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which was increasingly tending to her physical health.
By 2010, she was a resident at a Walter Reed National Military Medical Center nursing home. So began the darkest period of her life.
"It was prison," Davis said. "Like a black hole."
Two years into her four-year stay there, she learned she qualified for an adaptable housing grant from the VA. The paperwork was endless. But in 2014, she moved into a brick home with an open floor plan on Runyon Drive in Stafford.
She filled walls and shelves with inspirational sayings.
"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have," reads one.
The Army taught her many things, she said. "It didn't teach me how to live as a disabled person."
She gets by with the help of home nurses. With the same grit that carried her to war and back.

About 91outcomes
91outcomes.com is a health and news website for veterans of the 1991 Gulf War.
The health outcomes of the 1991 Gulf War continue to profoundly affect between one-fourth and one-third, according to official estimates, of the war's nearly 700,000 U.S. veterans.
They also affect innumerable fellow veterans from our Coalition partners, including the UK, Australia, Canada, and the Czech Republic, to name just a few.
The aim of 91outcomes.com is to provide fellow Gulf War veterans and their caregivers, advocates, and loved ones, with a credible source of information for health information on Gulf War Illness and other news, all in one place, some of which isn't available anywhere else.
Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Anthony Hardie, the publisher and editor of 91outcomes.com. I created 91outcomes.com in 2009** because I'm also one of the 250,000 veterans of the 1991 Gulf War afflicted by Gulf War Illness, and this is what I choose to do to help my fellow Gulf War veterans. Of course, there's much more that remains to be done -- please feel free to jump in and help however you may see fit to fill those many gaps.
I've been continuously active as a national advocate on Gulf War and other veterans' issues since 1995, shortly after my honorable discharge after seven years of U.S. Army service that included serving in the 1991 Gulf War and Somalia. Later, in part because of that advocacy work, I was selected to be a Congressional aide, and then a veterans' affairs state agency executive. If you're really interested, you can read more about me on my Google profile.
I also do my best to to help my fellow Gulf War veterans by serving as an affected veteran on the programmatic panel that leads and guides the Gulf War Illness Research Program, part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). And, I'm a former longtime member of VA's Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses (RAC) and the VA's Gulf War Illness [Research] Steering Committee. In my service on these panels, I do my very best to represent the many other ill and affected Gulf War veterans, including the readers of this website.

New album/single from the 4onthefloor
Feb 14, 2013 No Comments Share
The 4onthefloor, the stompin' blues and roots rock quartet from Minneapolis, will release their new record, Spirit of Minneapolis, on April 9. This will be the band's second full-length record and fifth release since its formation in 2009. The album was recorded at Sacred Heart in Duluth, Creation Audio in Minneapolis, and April Base in Eau Claire.
The first single off the record, "King of the Jungle," is available for streaming and as a free download on 4otf.com and at the top of this PDD post.
For more music, videos, photos and information on the 4onthefloor, visit the band's Facebook or Twitter pages.


This mod is compatible with Warband 1.153-1.172. Extract the mod files into your Warband Modules folder. NOTE: If you are having trouble playing this mod in Warband 1.172, try Warband 1.168. This version is not save-game compatible with previous mod versions.
Copy the Calradia 1050 A.D. Mercenary Uprising v2_5 folder into your Warband Modules folder. This mod will work with Warband versions 1.153 and higher. Please note that version 2.5 is not save-game compatible with any earlier versions.
Note: If you are having trouble playing this mod in Warband 1.172, try Warband 1.168.
Features for the mod are shown below, starting with the changelog for version 2.5.
Each faction (except the Khergiz) have two footman lines that diverge from the tier 3 footman. One line is armed with regular one-handed spears while the other line is armed with a special two-handed pole-arm. For example the Nord Skilled Spearman upgrades to Nord Veteran Spearman or Nord Veteran Halberdman. The Nord Veteran Spearman upgrades to Nord Spear Leader and the Nord Veteran Halberdman upgrades to the Nord Halberd Leader. (In the previous version 2.01, the two veterans upgraded into a single sergeant).
Each faction (except the Khergiz) has a skirmisher line that can upgrade from the tier 2 infantry. The skirmishers are designated as infantry rather than archers and I have added a script that forces them to be equipped with throwing weapons. The advantage of this change is that the player's constable will always upgrade troops to archers if the player requests this. Under the old system, the troops might upgrade as skirmishers or archers since both are ranged troops.
Each faction has an elite troop at level 35. The Swadian, Eastern, Sarranid, and Khergiz elite troops are mounted while the Vaegir, Nord, Rhodok, and Kelton elite troops are not. Thus, the elite troops for the Swadian, Eastern, Sarranid, and Khergiz factions is part of the mounted professional upgrade path while the elite troops for the Vaegir, Nord, Rhodok, and Kelton factions is part of the infantry professional upgrade path. Only the Nords and Custom Troops (hired from castle/town barracks) can upgrade to their Elite troops from both of their professional lines. Only the kings' party templates include the elite troops, which is the same as in prior version.
I have added a mounted commoner troop for the Swadians. The Swadian Veteran Militia (level 20) upgrades to either a mounted sergeant or foot sergeant (level 25 common).
Added a Senior Man-at-Arms (level 30) to the professionals line.
Added a Druzhina infantry to the professional line (level 30).
Added a Vaegir Druzhina Archer to the Vaegir professional line (level 30).
Replaced the Guard with the Skutatos (Level 25).
Added a Noble Guard to the professional line (Level 30).
Added a Mounted Raider to the Raider line (level 25 common).
Added a Hirdmann to the Professional line (level 30 professional).
Both the Hirdmann and Huscarl can upgrade to Nord Elite, the Nords are the only faction that has two different upgrades paths to elite.
Added a new line to the Rhodok professionals, starting with Rhodok Comite (level 25), which upgrades to Rhodok Equite (level 30). The Equite is mounted.
Added the Sarrandid Ghulam to the professional unmounted line (Level 30).
Added Kelton Dryhtmann (level 25) to the professional infantry line. The Dryhtmann upgrades to either the Kelton Gesith or Kelton Mounted Gesith, both level 30.
The Khergiz Trained footman (level 15 common) upgrades to either the Khergiz Veteran Footman or the Khergize Veteran Skirmisher, both level 20.
I have added an archer option to the adventurer line of troops that starts with the "Farmer." The Farmer now branches off to either Novice Adventurer or Warder Archer. The warder archer is armed with longbow and axe.
I have created two new higher tiers for Caravan Masters. Caravan Master is level 10, Veteran Caravan Master is level 15, and Senior Caravan Master is level 20.
Coastal Pirates spawn in Kelton Lands and have lairs.
Black Khergits spawn in Khergiz lands and have lairs.
Added dialogs for the 4 new companions permits player to send them on missions.
Each of the 4 added companions is equipped with armor and weapons from the faction they had served.
Professional troops have defined attributes of str_12 | agi_8 | int_8 | cha_8.
The base troop pay was reduced to 76% of the original value.
Un-mounted commoner troops are paid on this base scale.
Un-mounted Professional troops are paid 50% more than the base.
Un-mounted Mercenary troops are paid 50% more than the base.
Mounted troops are paid 100% more than the base. Given the reduction of the base, this is only slightly higher than in Native Warband.
Discontinued use of Nemcheck's "improved ethnic faces" codes except for Sarranids. All other faction troops use Native Warband codes.
Use several male faces from Jedidiah Q's OSP.
Changed most Eastern Province lords and Khergiz lords face codes to make them distinct from each other.
Changed the names of all Eastern Province Lords to reflect a more Byzantine culture.
Village Manor recruitment of Special Archers- Building a manor in village permits player to recruit normal village troops or better-trained and better-equipped archers/crossbowmen.
Castle/Town Barracks recruitment of custom troops is unchanged from last version.
I have made numerous changes to the troop equipment, too many to list here. I have tried to give each faction distinctive weapons and armor to differentiate them from other factions.
All commoner foot soldiers will spawn with spear and one-handed weapon.
I have made "light" versions of all the bows so that ranged troops having lower power draw can use their faction's bow. The damage caused by light bows is also adjusted down.
I have tried to limit the use of pure two-handed weapons for professional troops since a certain percentage of troops equipped with two-handed weapon will spawn without a shield. Instead I have used the two-handed pole-arms such as the long axes and other similar weapons that I have added to the items. Each faction has its own special types of two-handed polearm. Some of the higher-tier mounted troops and lords will be found with regular two-handed weapons.
I have added a large number of new arms, armors, and shields. Many of the new armors and shields are of my own design using Native and/or OSP meshes. I have also improved a number of my armor and weapon textures from the previous versions.
I have taken certain armors and weapons that did not fit the time period out of the stores. There are still a few anachronistic weapons but I leave it up to the player to either use or not use them.
I have tried to standardize the weight, armor values, and prices of the heavy and elite armors. These armors will be quite expensive to purchase.
I have used Rongar's Item Factionizing tool to factionize the items in the stores.
As of now, the total item count is 1800.
Added my own script to enable the hiring of special ranged troops in villages having a manor.
Expanded the script for hiring Noble Equites to also include a chance at Adventurers, Warder Archers, and Fighter Women. You must have an honor rating of 10 or higher to have these troops ask you for work.
Added a modified version of Tocan's script to have liege give the player armor after becoming a vassal.
Added a script to force skirmisher troops to have throwing weapons (since skirmishers are now classified as infantry rather than ranged).
Changed scripts to give new outlaws lairs and starting quest.
Added scripts for 21 new banners.
Win amount is 500 denars.
Equipment changes- lance replaced with blunt spear, two-handed sword replaced with practice mace, javelins removed.
Change from 14 days to 30 days to re-enter service of lord before being declared a deserter. This is important change, especially when either the player or lord the player is serving gets imprisoned.
After 30 days the player can request to be retrained as a Professional, allowing promotion to the highest tier.
I made a few improvements to the siege scene of Ashford. The defenders should no longer get bottled up as they rush reinforcements to the breach.
I added starting quest bandit lair scenes to the Kelton and Khergiz lands.
I have added 21 new banners from the unused banner sheet. The player can select these banners- they will be the last set of banners to choose from.
Battle of Europe OSP- several armors.
Several armors and weapons from previously credited OSPs such as IgorBB OSP (May 2016) and others (see full credits list in the "Calradia 1050 A.D.: Mercenary Uprising Features and Credits" document within the mod folder).
If I have somehow omitted your own work from the list, I apologize for the oversight. Please PM me at ModDB.com. Redleg99 is my user name.
I have also taken Charan's Polished Skyboxes out of the mod.
I VILL DRINK FROM YER SKALL!
Oh no; can't download. I'll have to wait then.
Sorry Redleg, this error message keeps showing up: "The file you have selected (Calradia_1050_A.D._Mercenary_Uprising_v2_5.zip) is not available via any mirrors."
Unfortunately it hasn't. But don't worry, I'll wait. Thanks for the quick response and for the update.
I am getting the same error. I assume the problem is on ModDB's end.
Yeah, it seems that way. Thanks again.
mod looks good will give it a go once the download is all fixed!
Now I will have some time to play The Sword and the Axe!
Well done! Time to try it out! Thanks!
Thanks for all your efforts. I'm enjoying what I've played so far!
That is strange. It worked fine when I tested it. I will need to check into this.
I will check into the banners as well. I was fairly certain that the new banners were all working as intended.
I fixed the banner issue. Will include fix in first patch when I release it.
Is it the Black Khergit camp in the starting quest or a camp that just spawns from time to time?
Not the starting quest, the one that can be "destroy bandit lair" quest.
Thanks- I haven't seen this happen before but will check the coding to see.
The description of Entertain skill says it's a personal skill but it appears at party skills list (the one on the left when you press P). Is it working as intended?
It does work as intended.
Thank you for this verygood mod!
I have fixed the Black Khergit lair issue and will release fix with first patch.
Are the equipment choices of Custom Troops fixed across all cultures? I'm guessing yes. Is it possible to add a few things my self?
The custom troops have a wide array of equipment to choose from. They have a default load-out but you can change it by talking to the troop and looking at their equipment.
I edited my msg , because i saw the bug i wanted you to inform upper . Good job with this mod.
If you are having issues with crashes during game-play, you might want to replace the mod's particle_systems.txt file with the one from Native Warband.
I made some changes to the particle systems that seem to be causing problems for certain PCs, including my own. I made the changes just prior to release and didn't have any issues with it at first but now do. The native particle_systems.txt file seems to fix the problems.

Meteorites are naturally occurring small rocky or metallic body objects that originate in and travelling through space, and survive a fall to the ground through Earth's atmosphere. When the object enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 20km/s (kilometer per second), aerodynamic heating generates a streak of light, from the glowing object and the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake. This is called a meteor, or colloquially a "falling star" or "shooting star" is very bright meteors and they called as fireballs. More or less 15,000 tones of meteoroids, micro meteoroids and different types of space particles or dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year.
The question is about meteor shower in Sindh…? People from South Eastern Sindh ( Province of Pakistan ) have tell that a meteor has strike a town by the name of Diplo in the place of Tharparkar district of Sindh.
"In the present day I saw a meteor, it was very scary but till now there is no news on the TV channels or in other media. It had a weird sound and after a while we heard a blast", said by Ishaque Nizamani, a citizen.


For most of us reluctant worshipers the closest we get to explaining Christianity to children is Christmas, when Jesus was born and Easter when Jesus dies. This has certainly been true for me.
Now As I have said before, I do class myself as Spiritual, although I am not sure which part of any organised church I belong too, but I feel it is important for my children to have an understanding of the Bible and these stories for a number of reasons. It is super for morals, it helps explain good and bad in very set black and white ways which are easily understandable for children and it reminds me of my childhood and going to Sunday School which I adored.
I have been really lucky in that Angela of Tracing Rainbows wrote a wonderful letter to my boys discussing the first Easter story with them and it couldn't have come at a more apt time, as Maxi is a narrator in the school Easter Assembly.
So when Floss at Troc, Broc and Recup said she was going to do a series of posts next week on The Stories of Jesus for Children, I was overjoyed. We have had some wonderful discussions at the dinner table this week about Jesus and I know religion isn't every one's cup of tea, but as far as I am concerned the more my children are aware of and understand then they armed with the information to make informed decision of their own in the future.
So pull up a chair and come and join us, if you want to and share this wonderful time of renewal with your children and explain that Lent doesn't have to be all about giving up tangible things.

Everything is in the process of development and change, our collective consciousness, our earth and connected to it our personal consciousness.
Diviners have asserted that the big energy lines of the earth have transformed themselves from 7 to 8 parallel lines. That means, the valid number of the Age of Aquarius is the eight and no longer the seven.
Going along with that, a new chakra in the form of a star appeared on Good Friday 1978. It is the first chakra, whose point of consciousness is placed outside the human body. All of us have already seen images on pictures of it – it is the halo. Through this activated eighth chakra we have now a better access to higher consciousness-conditions.
1987 the number of potential chakras doubled from eight to sixteen. The new chakras are all placed on top of each other above the head, extended up to 3m beyond and can be sensed.
Since then the new chakras belong to each human being, but not all of them are activated, respectively activated the same way at each human being. The activation of the sixteen chakras depends on the consciousness-condition of the particular human being.
Colin Bloy, who was a well known English healer and diviner, was consistently speaking about the new chakras and the evolution of the human being towards the "Homo amans", the loving human being. I would like to thank him for having received this knowledge.
To the first 13 chakras Amo-seals are being related, because each of our chakras does not only have one ME-reference but as well a YOU-reference, which is even much more important, when we like and continue to develop ourselves from the Homo sapiens to the Homo amans, the loving human being of the New Age. This YOU-reference would the Amo-seals like disclose to us, because it becomes more and more vital, to live and implement the YOU-reference of our chakras. As YOU we should understand each living being of this world, each tree, each plant, each stone and each human being of course.
All chakras do not only serve our own spiritual growth but our path of consciousness-development leads us through the YOU and the US.
The last three of the higher chakras are not really ascertainable for our intellect. There are no seals for them as well. But I have found a wonderful explanation for it in the genesis of the Kabbala (please read at the end of the page).
Therefore the already activated 8th chakra is the key-chakra at each human being, assigned to it is the seal HEART-CONSCIOUSNESS.
The path into the HEART-CONSCIOUSNESS is free, your skills are activated for it – you only have to walk the path into your HEART-CONSCIOUSNESS by yourself … there is nobody else here who could walk it for you.
the Anima-, Marima- and Omega-symbols are the support for the little steps on this path back home.

The Kurri Kurri aluminium smelter was located in Kurri Kurri, Australia and operated from 1969 until 2012. Developed by Alcan Australia Limited, the smelter experienced a change of ownership three times during its operations. Through gradual expansion, the smelter increased its production capacity from 30,000 tonnes per year (t/y) to 180,000 t/y of aluminium metal by the 1990s. The Kurri Kurri Smelter was engaged in operations in four areas; potlines for the melting of alumina, a cast house for casting of molten metal, a carbon plant for baking anodes, and anode plants for the manufacturing of carbon anodes.

Environmental concerns were raised over the smelter's production and expansion, resulting in the establishment of emissions reduction technologies and ongoing environmental monitoring over the lifetime of the smelter. Challenging industrial relations have been documented throughout the smelter's operation, mainly during the 1990s and 2000s due to changing management and structure of the plant. The smelter's official closure in 2014 has since been followed by ongoing developments to remediate the land for its use for residential, industrial and conservation reasons. The land and some remaining power infrastructure from the smelter was sold in 2020 to developers.

The smelter was part of the local culture and identity of Kurri Kurri and its closure resulted in the direct loss of hundreds of jobs and the indirect loss of thousands of jobs.

Background

Early production
Construction of the Kurri Kurri smelter commenced in 1967, with it being opened on 14 November 1969 by Governor-General Paul Hasluck. The smelter was built on undeveloped agricultural land with the surrounding land gradually being purchased by the smelter to comply with planning approval of the construction. The Australian government's decision in 1963 to ban metal imports into Australia led to the commissioning of the Kurri Kurri Smelter. Kurri Kurri was proposed as the smelter's location due to its close proximity to port facilities in Newcastle and availability of labour.

During early production, the smelter had a production capacity of 30,000 (t/y) of aluminium metal. The first potline was progressively expanded to a capacity of 45,000 t/y and consisted of 120 side worked prebake cells. A potline is a series of pots or electrolytic cells where alumina is melted with molten cryolite. These pots are situated in a long building or spread across several buildings. In 1977 approval was given to the smelter to expand production to a second potline, expanding smelting capacity to 90,000 t/y of aluminium and adding 120 centre-worked prebake cells with supporting facilities. Supporting facilities included casting and anode manufacturing facilities and storage facilities for raw materials. This Line II expansion also involved the fitting of dry scrubbers to remove fluoride from waste gases. In 1981 a third potline was approved, increasing production capacity to 135,000 t/y of aluminium and adding another 120 centre-worked prebake cells with anode manufacturing capabilities, pollution controls and support facilities. This was the final stage of the smelter's expansion, generating its greatest capacity and efficiency. This third potline reached full production capacity in 1986, increasing the smelter's annual production capacity to 150,000 tonnes of aluminium.

The Kurri Smelter produced various types of ingots for use in building materials used in roofs, doors and windows, and for use in tubing and cables. At full capacity the smelter required approximately 16 megawatt-hours of electricity to produce one tonne of aluminium.

Composition
The smelter was originally owned by Alcan Australia limited, subsidiary to the Canadian based company, Alcan Aluminium limited. In 1981 the smelter was owned 70% by Alcan Aluminium Limited and 30% by other Australian Financial institutions. In 1995 the smelter transitioned to being wholly Australian owned as Capral Aluminium. This was followed by purchase of the smelter in 2000 by VAW, a German Aluminium Company, as Capral was unable to support further production by the smelter. Some commentators believe this sale was a result of Capral's inability to secure cheap electricity to service the smelter. During the turn of the century, Kurri Kurri's Plant was one of six aluminium smelters in Australia, making up 10% of domestic production and employing 2500 people across all operations.

The smelter used Alcan end-to-end prebake technology.

21st century
VAW indicated in March 2001 of its plans to expand to a fourth potline, increasing capacity per annum by 100,000 tonnes of aluminium. Additionally, VAW announced its intention to spend $55 million to improve technical inefficiencies over a 3-year period. Norsk Hydro inherited the smelter after purchasing VAW Aluminium in 2002.

In 2008, 5% of Kurri Kurri's population was employed by Norsk Hydro.

Environmental impacts

1969–2000

The smelter's development coincided with the establishment of several vineyards 15 km to the west of the Plant. As a result of concern among vintners, a foliage monitoring program was developed to run over 30 growing seasons. Additionally, concern over foliage damage to native vegetation led to the monitoring of nearby scrub, sclerophyll forest, woodland and swamp forest. Both monitoring programs found the smelter to have a negligible effect on vegetation and crops. Other Environmental assessments conducted during the 1980s include the 1981 Environmental Impact Assessment by the Department of Environment and Planning. This assessment found Line I of the smelter to produce higher emissions compared to Line II due to a lack of hooding efficiencies. Hooding efficiency refers to the percentage of fumes captured from aluminium smelting and should be at least 95% for prebaked pots. The assessment also found that for every tonne of aluminium produced, 15 kg of fluoride is emitted as a by-product, accumulating to 675 tonnes of fluoride emissions a year. In another assessment, the smelter was found to deposit the majority of fluoride pollution to the north of the plant towards Wentworth Swamp near Maitland, through both aerial and waterway transportation. Between the years 1969 and 1993, spent potliner was deposited in an area east of the plant known as "Mount Alcan". From 1993 onward this waste material was stored in sheds.

2000–present
With growing concerns about climate change and the Australian government's UNFCCC commitments, the Kurri Kurri Aluminium Smelter, under Norsk Hydro, improved its environmental performance. As of 2009, the smelter had reduced its emissions intensity by 75% and electricity intensity by 92% compared to 1990s levels.

Between 2001 and 2006 spent potliner began being recycled by on-site contractor Regain Services. Following the smelter's closure this recycling continues to take place at nearby Tomago aluminium smelter and is estimated to finish in between two to three years.

With the introduction of more emissions reductions policies by the Australian Government, the smelter was subject to partial exemptions as a result of its trade exposure. Under the 2010 Renewable Energy Target, the smelter received partial exemptions and was intended to be given extensive free permits with the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. As a result of this, climate change protestors disrupted production at Kurri Kurri to express their anger about the proposed permits in 2009.

Industrial relations
Employees at the Kurri Kurri Aluminium Smelter have been mainly represented by the Federated Ironworkers Association (FIA), later being the Australian Workers' Union (AWU). The period of economic liberalisation in the 1990s saw the smelter undergo several changes to cope with increased competition and efficiency, including a reduction in job positions and a restructuring of management. This began a period of challenging relations between a new management focused on cost reduction and employees and their unions with reluctance to change. From 1988 to 2006 Hydro reduced the number of employees at the smelter from 892 to 473 people. The purchase of Capral by VAW aluminium in 2000 led to the smelter Upgrade and Retro-Fit (SURF) Project which aimed at improving equipment and process deficiencies within the smelter. Despite greater investments into the Plant aimed at increasing production and costing almost $127 million, relations continued to deteriorate as VAW, and its successor Hydro, maintained a cost-reductions approach to management which included significant job cuts.

Significant conflict was reported in the smelter's potrooms where proposed cuts in manning of operations came before the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and discontent was felt towards the potroom manager. Between 2000 and 2005 a considerable amount of collective industrial action led to the smelter's management seeking arbitration tribunals. In June 2005, an audit team from Oslo visited the smelter to assess the situation. In November 2005 a 'Rescue Team' was sent from Oslo and on 27 November the potroom manager was replaced. The smelter's new potroom manager, Knut Austreid, facilitated an increase in manning and training of new technologies and equipment.

In November 2010, workers alongside union members protested outside the smelter against the state government's engagement with the smelter's power supply. This engagement involved the state government advising the smelter's energy provider, Delta Electricity, not to sign a ten year contract extension with the smelter. The protest involved the Australian Worker's Union secretary in Newcastle, the Cessnock MP and head of the smelter.

Closure, demolition and remediation
Norsk Hydro announced the smelter's closure on 5 June 2012, citing weak aluminium prices, a strong Australian dollar and an uncertain economic outlook for the closure. It stopped producing primary metal in September 2012 and casting house products in October 2012. The smelter's permanent closure occurred in May 2014. Following the closure, the smelter was engaged in an array of environmental impact assessments aimed at facilitating the remediation of contaminated land. Managing director of Norsk Hydro, Richard Brown, estimates that the cost of demolition and remediation of the site will be more than $100 million in addition to future environmental costs.

Site remediation work commenced in 2016 with an estimated 2020 completion date. Stage 1 of demolition of the Aluminium Smelter was undertaken by CMA contracting and began in May 2017. The demolition included removal of all three potlines, asbestos waste elimination and recycling of waste materials. Stage 2 of demolition was approved in May 2018 and involves the demolition of infrastructure below ground. The smelter's distinctive stacks were demolished in May 2019. An action camera positioned close to the smelter to capture the falling smokestacks was flung 40 metres due to the impact of the stacks hitting the ground.

In August 2018 Hydro announced sale of the smelter to Flow Systems, a private water and power company which supplies water to nearby suburbs. The deal was part of Hydro's $150 million 'Regrowth Kurri Kurri Project'. However, the sale was revoked when Flow Systems went into voluntary administration a few months after buying the Kurri Smelter.

The  site is being designated for 65% conservation purposes, 10% residential and employment purposes and 15% for rural land. In 2020 the smelter site was sold to Stevens Group and McCloy Group as a combined property and residential land development business entity. The partnership is planning on developing the site into a new suburb called Loxford Waters with 2000 new homes with added industrial estates and a business park. These increases in housing will be met with environmental buffer zones. Use of the site is seen as important for economic recovery for Kurri Kurri following the smelter's closure. Plans are also to use the existing power infrastructure from the smelter to establish power generation through solar power or a gas peaking plant for the industrial estate.

The smelter's closure resulted in over 600 direct employees losing their job. In May 2021, it was announced that the smelter site would be redeveloped as the Kurri Kurri Power Station.

Cultural and economic significance
The Kurri Kurri Aluminium Smelter was a significant employer of the region and contributed to the identity and culture of the town. To celebrate the Plant's 40th anniversary, Hydro gifted a giant kookaburra sculpture to the town on 14 December 2009. The Kurri Kurri Smelter Reunion Committee was formed in 2013 to reunite former workers and share their memories of the smelter's operation. In November 2019 the committee held their seventh annual reunion involving 300 ex-workers.

The smelter totalled economic inflows to the town of Kurri Kurri at over $80 million a year, predominantly through salaries and use of local services.

At the present time we are no longer accepting new registrations for our program. If, in the future, we are able to open the registration this website will be updated. There are various reasons why we may not be able to accept an enrolled donor at the time of the donor's death. These are listed under the question regarding refusal to accept an enrolled donor below.
There is typically no expense to the family within Fayette County, KY. The University of Kentucky covers the following services at no expense to the donor or family: transportation of the body from site of death within Fayette County using Kentucky Mortuary Services at 859-278-8501 , embalming procedures at UK and care of the body, cremation, and interment at the UK burial site or return of ashes (pick-up only).
Charges from funeral home such as transportation, preparation of legal documents, and professional services.
Costs of making alternate arrangements for final disposition if the donation cannot be completed for any reason.
Costs from other entities outside the University of Kentucky (see below for transportation outside of Fayette County).
If death occurs outside of Fayette County, KY the University of Kentucky will cover the following services at no expense to the donor or family: Embalming procedures at UK and care of the body, cremation, and interment at the UK burial site or return of ashes.
We are unable to accept donations outside of the state of Kentucky. We do arrange for transportation of the body by Kentucky Mortuary Services from other counties within Kentucky. We do not cover the cost of transportation from the site of death to the University of Kentucky. The next-of-kin is responsible for, and will be expected to pay at the time of service, the mileage for the transportation costs from the site of death to UK. This payment can be made by either cash, check or credit card to Kentucky Mortuary Services.
It is not necessary to use a funeral home when donating a body. Transportation of the body is contracted by UK to a third party administrator performed by Kentucky Mortuary Services at (859) 278-8501 . (Please read the previous FAQ, "Are any costs involved in the donation of one's body?" for details regarding any possible transportation charges).
Our administrator also performs the embalming process at UK and death-related paperwork in conjunction with the University of Kentucky. In some cases (i.e. death in the home outside of the immediate area of Lexington), the family members may wish to have an additional funeral home involved for the transportation of the body from the home to a local funeral home prior to transport by Kentucky Mortuary Services. The family is responsible for any additional costs in these situations.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to hold a viewing or conduct a funeral for the donor due to the time constraints and preparation of the body at UK. However, most families hold a memorial service for their loved ones at their discretion and convenience. The University does not hold a ceremony or Celebration of Life event.
The information located on the vital statistics page is used to complete the death certificate at the time of death. If any of that information is missing, incorrect, or out-of-date, it will result in delays or wrong information on the official death certificate. It is the donor's responsibility to keep us informed of any change in name, address, or next-of-kin so that we can keep your file current.
Do you need to have updates on my next-of-kin on the paperwork?
We recommend that you choose someone that will not likely precede you in death and that will remain someone who will maintain concern over the final disposition of your body. However, there are times that you may need to change your next-of-kin. It is important that you keep our program up to date on your next-of-kin. You may do this by sending a written statement of your change or calling us at 859-323-5160 .
The donor should contact us to inform us of any relocation, and then contact a medical school in that state to arrange for donation. We are unable to accept donations outside of the state of Kentucky.
What if I change my mind; may I withdraw my decision to donate?
What does the family do if the donor dies during non-business hours of the College of Medicine?
Call Kentucky Mortuary Service at 859-278-8501 . If the donor passes in a hospital with a morgue, the body may be stored there until the next working day. In all other cases, the body is to be transported by Kentucky Mortuary Service or a funeral director of your choice coordinated with Kentucky Mortuary Service at 859-278-8501 .
Does the Willed Body Program ever refuse to accept a body?
Vital organs removed for transplantation purposes.
Refusal to pay the transportation costs at the time of service (Please read the previous FAQ, "Are any costs involved in the donation of one's body?" for details regarding any possible transportation charges).
Other circumstances such as advanced decomposition may also result in the inability to accept the body at the time of death.
To help avoid any surprise or disappointment, family members should be advised as early in the donation process as possible that the final determination on the suitability of a donation will be made after death. We suggest that the donor and next-of-kin develop alternative plans in the event we are unable to accept the body at the time of death.
We cannot accept bodies from which other vital organs (brain, heart, lungs, kidney(s), liver) are removed.
What happens to the body after the Willed Body Program at the University of Kentucky receives it?
The body is prepared for a long-term study that can span 2 years or more. Students who are preparing to enter the health professions will study the bodies in a gross anatomy laboratory.
Will the body be studied at the University of Kentucky?
The majority of our donors are used for studies at the University of Kentucky and its locations in other areas of the state. Occasionally we receive a request from health professionals outside UK by another institution or entity within Kentucky as permitted by the RUAGL for education or research. If the request is approved, we supply a body with the following assurances that (a) the body will be kept in an appropriate and secured area, (b) the study is to be completed within a reasonable time frame, (c) that a human body is a mandatory requirement of the study, and (d) following completion of the study, the body must be returned to UK for cremation and disposition of ashes.
Kentucky Mortuary Service, as licensed funeral directors, will begin the process of filing a death certificate by filling out our portion of the death certificate. The death certificate is then sent to the doctor listed on the provisional death report in order for them to complete their portion. We then verify that all the information is correct and send it to the office of vital statistics of the appropriate state. As of January 2015, the state of Kentucky is providing electronic registration, but this is dependent on the medical doctor registering for the online system. If the doctor is not registered for the electronic system, the process for a death certificate will be handled via postal mail and can take up to 4-6 weeks. The next of kin will be sent paperwork at the time of death explaining how to order certified copies of the death certificate.
Following anatomical study, the body must be cremated. The ashes (cremains) can be interred at the University burial site OR ashes can be returned to the next-of-kin after death. The donor indicates their wishes for their ashes at the time of registration.
If our paperwork indicates to return the ashes to the next-of-kin, we will send a letter to the next-of-kin on file notifying that the ashes are ready for return. If the ashes are being shipped to the next-of-kin, we request a confirmation of the address where the ashes will be shipped.
If the next-of-kin is in the local area they may pick up the ashes at Kentucky Mortuary Services in Lexington. We will send a letter to the next-of-kin on file notifying that the ashes are ready for return. The next-of-kin listed on file will need to arrange a time with Kentucky Mortuary Services, (859) 278-8501 , to pick up the cremains.
If we are unable to contact the next-of-kin, or we do not hear back from next-of-kin within 6 months, the ashes will be interred at the UK burial grounds as their final resting place.
If the ashes are to be interred at the UK burial site, there will be no contact with the next-of-kin when the ashes are ready. Ashes buried in our cemetery plot will not be exhumed under any circumstance or situation.
Other than the Death Certificate provided after death, we do not provide any other reports concerning pathologic findings, cause of death or details of the specific studies that are conducted. We do not conduct autopsies or maintain reports.
We recommend that the body be offered to the nearest medical school. We do not accept donations outside of the state of Kentucky. We always recommend a secondary plan should the donor not be acceptable or no longer in Kentucky.
What can family members leave at the UK burial/memorial site?
Permanent markers (such as plaques or benches) are not permitted. Arrangements can be made in other locations of the Lexington Cemetery but not specifically on allocated burial sites for the program.

Every conversation with Maia was purposeful, engaging, and personally challenging. As a veteran educator, whose life's passion is guiding, mentoring, and supporting students, I was more inspired and better able to articulate my leadership skills with Maia's coaching. Maia amplified my "Jiminy Cricket" voice, whose advice and counsel were muffled by life's distractions. Maia's approach to coaching helped me clear away some noise, so that I could continue to be my own guide. Thank you Maïa.
