I've been taking TeloGenesis religiously every day since the day I received my shipment, and today is the last of the first 30 days (one capsule left in the first jar!). I had no real expectations about what I might experience with this. I have noticed an increase in energy, more creativity (very important since I'm a professional writer and paint as a hobby!) and more personal energy. There have also been mood improvements, and a more positive outlook in general. I like the product very much. So far, the results are great!
Telogenesis has created a new boost for me. After 3 months increased my weight loss, boosted my Active stem impact in energy, and made a difference in my sleep patterns. Overall feeling much better joint wise and after exertion with my horses, pain is limited. Awsome results for me.
Have been taking TeloGenesis for about four weeks now and am finding I have more energy and more get up and go. Also sleeping better and don't seem to have as many aches and pains as before. Feel better than I have in awhile. Coming up on my 70th birthday and feel like I did twenty years ago!! Kudos to TeloGenesis!!
Now using my second bottle. Have found an enormous improvement in my sleep pattern. It is much sounder, deeper and more refreshing!!
Since I started using Telogenesis about two months ago I have definitely been feeling more alert during the day. I also find myself sleeping better and waking up more refreshed. Still playing hockey twice a week at age 67 and don't feel the aches and pains the way I used to. Thanks Telogenesis!
Going on my second bottle i can go to sleep faster and more alert in the morning .
I am totally amazed with this product! My sleep was beautiful. I woke up alert not foggy. Aches and pains gone. However, I am on a tight budget so I can only order every now and then! Working on my budget so I can reorder! Anyone who reads these reviews this product is absolutely amazing! I am 60 young and I can out work anyone younger than me! Including some 20 year olds! No joke! Amazing product! A must have!
I feel good about it and when I accidentally missed a couple of days I noticed the difference. I am 78 and essentially pain free and I hope to continue like that.
I have been taking Telogenesis for about 2 months. I have seen a remarkable improvement in the stiffness in my hands. I could not open a bottle of water myself and I had pain in my joints when I worked out. My hands were swollen and I could not get my rings on. All of these things have improved. I have been very impressed with the results.
No question that since starting Telogenesis about 2 months ago I am feeling much less exhausted and more capableof doing all the things I want to- 8 acre garden with orchard and numerous fruit trees playing lots of golf ( handicap reduction !) Sleeping deeper and waking up refreshed after 7hours instead of 9.Of course the wonderful summer weather is also a factor,as is taking Midogen, Vit D& Mg++ Telomeres??
5 out of 5 TeloGenesis is wonderful stuff!
Thanks to TeloGenesis my brain feels like it belongs to my younger self again, and the rest of my body is following suit. To me it has been a Godsend! Thank you Dr. Rand, and LCR Health, for making these ingredients available to us in this lifetime.
I've tried bunch of supplements that made a bunch of promises few have delivered. I felt the same way about TeloGenesis when I decided to try it and I am still amazed at how I feel. I can't explain what it is but something is different and positive. What I have noticed like many of the others is sleep is earlier, longer and better. I've haven't worked out in about two weeks and will start soon and can't wait to see what happens then. I'm all in with this product. WOW! What a difference. Thank you.
I am noticing more energy and sleeping better. I hope to see more of this the longer I use it. I am also taking Midogen along with it. I just made a 16 hour drive and my only pain was some neck fatigue at the end. Previous trips have been a real drag and I attribute this to the Telogenesis and Midogen. I also think my mental capacity is improving. Thank you Dr. McClain for doing the research to make these supplements possible.
Ever since I started taking Telogenesis I feel like I got the energy level I experienced in my 30's. I am in the mid 70's, but I managed to reorganize my office and the house and cook and go out for a walk. I was always energetic and I did not like myself dragging to do things, so when my old energy returned I really welcomed it. Great results for me in about 3 weeks time. Thank you.
I was skeptical. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I will say after a month I do feel I have less fatigue and more of a positive attitude. I will continue taking Telogenesis and we will see what happens.
Feeling great, I've been taking telogenesis, for almost 1 month. I am amazed at the way this product makes me feel. I forgot to take it one morning and I thought I would feel sluggish that day at work, but I didn't. You best believe when I got home, that night I went right in to get it. I'm sold on this product.
Used it less than 1 month but can already tell and feel a difference. Looking forward to continuing the Telegenesis because I have improved energy and I'm thinking clearer.
2 days short of 1 month but after about 2 weeks I had increase in energy and better over all mood. Have 2 month supply left hope for continued improvement. 66 years old with multiple forms of Arthritis.
I have been taking TeloGenesis for about 10 weeks and am amazed I have been able to paddle my kayak for 4 hours instead of my usual 1 hour which has been so enjoyable. I will be 70 next birthday so am really happy to do this review. My only negative is that it seems to cause a bit of reflux in my case.
I have been dealing with a skin issue for at least 8 years. Up until now the only thing that would make it go away or lessen would be steroids. I have finished my first bottle of Telogenesis and am already seeing a reduction in the redness and the bumps (for want of a better word). I am in the process of ordering more. Thanks so much for making this available.
Energy levels and the ability to multi task have definitely seen an increase.
Very pleased, as a ninety year old, to now be only getting up in the night three times, rather than the five to seven times I used to. Have more energy now when hiking or doing work in my yard, and have only used this miracle product about three weeks. Great work!
I still enjoy the same good health I've always had. No aches, pains, fogginess in memory, sluggishness in the afternoon. I continue to feel 40 or so. Oh yeah, I'm 65. No one believes me when I tell them though.
Very shortly after starting Telogenesis, I noticed changes for the better. When I move around, my body just has a new zip to it. Tasks that may have left my 58 year old body slightly sore are simply no longer there. It's kinda like I feel as though I were ten or more years younger. Even my friend noticed my stamina improvement on a recent project. Super pleased so far.
After taking telo for about a week , i began to notice a big boost in my energy level, i found myself looking around for something to do, i was amazed. what's next.
I use many of your products and my overall energy and general feeling is excellent. I am 79, I work in a grocery store 30 to 40 hours a week and play golf sometimes after work. I am never tired. I recently had a complete health check up and the results are good. I take telegenesis daily. I also really like the hydrogen supplement. I have been taking your supplements for several years.
5 out of 5 Telogenesis is worth it!!
This stuff works! Been taking it a month and I notice a definite difference in how I feel… not a sensation of "I can lift my car off the ground" or "let me try to bench press 800 pds today", but there is a definite difference!! Feels good; and, for me, it seems to amplify all the other supplements I take( and I take a bunch of them!) I bought nine bottles and was wondering whether I had made a smart purchase… I can now say YES to that question!!
I have taken it only a short time – I can tell you I feel stronger in my legs, not weak. Thank you.
TeloGenesis seems to be integrating well with my current LCR supplement regimen. Experiencing improved mood, energy and endurance. People consistently guess I'm younger than my current age!
5 out of 5 Energy boost!
Notice an improvement in my mood and overall feeling of well-being, but perhaps the most significant benefit is more energy and ability to focus on tasks. Great product!
5 out of 5 Feeling great!
I have been using Telogenesis for about 2 1/2 weeks, I've experienced a energy level that seems to maintain throughout the day.
I have been taking TeloGenesis for a month now. My brain fog has dissipated; my sleep seems deeper; and, the little aches and pains have vanished. TeloGenesis is a keeper!
I have notice my joint's don't hurt as before i have more energy.
Too early in the process to fully know the potential. Only been taking Tele for a week. Will be better able after a couple more weeks. Already feel more alert & energized. Outdoor activities are easier. Thank you for following up with your clients. It's rare these days that companies care about anything after the sale. It shows the difference with LCR.
I took it for one week and one day and all the sudden I noticed everything just seemed clearer and in a different energy. I have gotten improved sleep and no sleeping pills. I'm feeling better and thinking clearer. Now on day 13, I will keep taking and keeping a journal. Think I'm gonna like this product, my boyfriend said he's noticed a happier me and sharper conversations. I feel very creative, and as an artist this is so important.
I have struggled with bowel and stomach issues since I was eleven. In my late 30's I developed psoriasis. Going gluten free has helped tremendously but I still struggle with the symptoms and flare ups. Since starting Telogenesis less than a month ago I've already experienced less symptoms and the plaques and itching are reduced. I'm amazed and so greatfull for these results. Keep up the amazing work you do!
I have been taking this for only one month. I am an aging athlete trying to regenerate. Will be 60 next month. I do notice a difference in my endurance while jogging. I take many LCR Health products. I definitely feel I benefit from taking them. Don't quite know which one is doing what, but, do have more energy and stamina. Wish I could break off the plateau weight wise. Alessandra Lior, Lafayette, CO.
In my first month of taking telegenosis and have noticed at the gym I am lifting around 10% more weights with more reps and less recovery time too. I'm not sore for a couple of days either. Keep up the R&D!
One month in and I feel better, I have more focus, energy and drive. Less stress, and it helps me get through all of my tasks that I have set for the day. Thank you.
Taken for about 2 weeks with other LCR products including MIDOGEN,GP-SLIM,ACTIVE-PK.I have more energy at work and less aches and discomfort from physical activity. I have noticed a better and deeper sleep pattern recently. Weight loss has been gradual and steady with no feelings of hunger or cravings. Recovery time from strenuous physical activity is more than half of what it usually took to fully recuperate! Superb products!

I've just stumbled onto this, i watched the video on U-tube and must say the the proof is fairly irrefutable. I've been watching lot's of media regards this lately, and had a passion for studying aliens since the late 70's. Of late i have been reading the law of one ra material, and have to say I'm more than convinced that this is happening as i type this message. David Manchester UK.
Yes, that "Moon Dragon" is on the edge of Zeeman Crater, which is 184 Km in diameter. This means it is about 45 Km long and 11 Km tall and it wasn't there in 1967. You might want to correct that small typo about its size.
AMAZING....Englands dept of defense has released files under freadom of information so has France but the good old US of A wont.
YOU SHOULD READ YOUR BIBLE OR ANCIENT HEBREW TESTS LIKE ENOCH - THAT RECORDED GIANTS ON THE ANCIENT EARTH 400 EELS TALL... the 7th chapter of the Book of Enoch specifically references the height of the giants. The translation I have says, "And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind." An ancient ell is roughly a cubit or 18 inches. Therefore, the text actually says that these giants were 4,500 feet tall. Many supporters of the extreme figures argue this is a textual error and the verse should read 300 ells, or 450 feet. Was it?

Korngold: Der Ring des Polykrates
By BBC Music Magazine
Published: January 20, 2012 at 2:33 pm
COMPOSERS: Korngold
LABELS: CPO
WORKS: Der Ring des Polykrates
PERFORMER: Endrik Wottrich, Beate Bilandzija, Jürgen Sacher, Kirsten Blanck, Dietrich Henschel; Deutsches SO Berlin/ Klauspeter Seibel
CATALOGUE NO: 999 402-2
Good news for Korngold fans: at long last, here is the first ever complete recording of Korngold's first opera. And it's delightful. It is distinctively Korngoldian – full of sparkling energy and good-humoured upswing, sensitive orchestration and youthful idealism. Listen especially for the final ensemble which brims over with tenderness and sympathy. It is also considerably more compact than most of his other operas. The setting is Saxony in 1797, and the young Korngold pays tribute to the Classical era by using just five singers and a smaller-than-usual orchestra, which enables the textures to be clearer and lighter. The story is equally light: a young married couple are so happy that their long-lost 'friend' challenges them to make a sacrifice lest their luck change, in parallel with the story of Polycrates, who threw his ring into the sea as a similar sacrifice. He therefore demands that the husband asks the wife whether she had loved anyone else before him. Eventually the couple decide to sacrifice their friend instead, and throw him out of the house.
This is a good performance on the whole; I find Dietrich Henschel a little too overtly threatening as the disruptive friend Vogel, but Beate Bilandzija gives a beautifully nostalgic account of the best-known moment, Laura's 'Diary Song', and the orchestral playing is clear and lively.

Home > Bill Donohue vs. the facts.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue has never shown much aptitude for speaking truthfully about the sexual-abuse scandal. Sit him in front of a TV camera or a Dictaphone and he'll deliver any number of pronouncements long on confidence and short on accuracy. His greatest hit--that the scandal is really a gay problem--has never been true [1]. But his B-sides are worth remembering too. Like that time he defended Deal Hudson (for this [2]) by referring to the woman in question as "a drunk...he met in a bar," [3] when in fact she was a student of his at the time (a freshman, actually). Or that other time he commented on the Mark Foley case [4] by observing that "most fifteen-year-old boys wouldn't allow themselves to be molested." Or pretty much every time he comments on the case of Shawn Ratigan.
You remember him. He's the now-laicized Kansas City priest who's doing time--an insanely long amount of time [5], if you ask me--for possessing and creating child pornography, crimes he admitted. The diocese learned that he had hundreds of troubling photos on his computer, including a series depicting a child whose diaper is slowly revealed to expose her genitals. Bishop Robert Finn didn't call the police, so he was convicted of failing to report suspected child abuse. And now the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph is paying for [6] his appallingly bad judgment.
For years, Donohue has been proclaiming [7] Finn "an innocent man." He's able to say so because he draws his conclusion from a bunch of made up facts, most of which he was invited to repeat on the August 21 edition of EWTN's The World Over. Have a look (go to 46:40) [8].
Nearly none of that is true. Right off the bat, Donohue minimizes the crime by claiming "a technician" found "some crotch shots of girls fully clothed" on Ratigan's computer. Not quite.
According to an independent report [9] commissioned by the diocese, the computer contained hundreds of photos, most of which depicted the rear ends and crotches of very young girls wearing some sort of clothing, such as bathing suits. Some looked like they were taken under tables. But it also contained two series of photos that Donohue forgot to mention: one, referred to above, showing a girl as young as two wearing a diaper, which is slowly removed to expose her genitals. That series included six to eight photos, three of which displayed her nude from the waist down. Another set of about two dozen photos depicted a sleeping girl who appears to have been moved--that is, posed--from photo to photo.
Donohue falsely claims the diocese found just one nude photo, and that it was "non-sexual." Then he says the diocese reported it to the police, failing to note that Finn was convicted for failing to report suspected child abuse (possessing child pornography counts as child abuse, according to civil and canon law). And then he floats the falsehood that "the authorities looked at it" and said it was not pornographic. Also not true. Not even close to true.
What really happened is that a priest described one photo to a cop who had served on the diocesan sexual-abuse review board. He said it was non-sexual. The cop said he'd talk to someone at the department about it, and reported back that the photo might not be pornographic. But he never laid eyes on the photo, and never knew about any of the others. Later, the cop expressed his dismay that the priest who called him never told him about the hundreds of other photos found on Ratigan's laptop.
Donohue continues, telling the EWTN audience that Finn placed restrictions on Ratigan. These restrictions were so severe that Ratigan was not monitored in any way by anyone. When Finn learned Ratigan wasn't abiding by these light restrictions, he did nothing except scold him by phone.
"There was no complainant," Donohue says, apparently believing this means nothing bad really happened. In fact it's totally beside the point. We have mandatory reporting laws because abused children are children. Who knows whether the little girls in the photos Donohue pathologically ignores were even aware that they were being featured in pornography? Maybe they were drugged. Maybe they were just sleeping. Maybe none of this should have to be pointed out to a man who serves as president of the Catholic League.
Not that it would do any good. Donohue thinks he knows what's really going on here. The National Catholic Reporter, SNAP, and plaintiffs' attorney Jeff Anderson are in cahoots to "scalp" Midwestern bishops, many of whom were brought in to clean up the mess left by their liberal predecessors, says Donohue. The proof? These same people go easy on other, more liberal bishops with worse abuse records. Evidently Bill Donohue has never heard of Cardinal Roger Mahony [10].
Still, Donohue may have a point. It's never a good sign when a critic goes hard on his ideological opponents but easy on his allies. Which is what makes it so hard to understand why he would go after [11] retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland for saying "sometimes not all adolescent victims are so innocent," but defend [12] Fr. Benedict Groeschel when he said basically the same thing [13].
Is that the kind of consistent, penetrating analysis Catholic League donors have come to expect? I hope they feel like they're getting their money's worth, because it's quite a bit of money. In 2012, the Catholic League took in about $3.7 million, according to its tax filing. (More recent filings are not yet available.) The group's net assets totaled nearly $32 million. The Catholic League pays Donohue about half a million dollars. Nice work if you can get it. The vice president only makes about two hundred grand--fifty thousand shy of the check Donohue cut to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2012 for "general support."
Speaking of support, maybe it's time for some members of that conference to withdraw their own from the Catholic League [14]. After all, if you were trying to recover from the worst scandal U.S. Catholics have ever known, would you cash a check from a man who publicly rebukes an alleged abuse victim for "allowing himself to be molested"? I wouldn't.

Sinead O'Connor slams Kim's Rolling Stone cover
By Lindsey Kupfer
July 14, 2015 | 11:12pm
Sinead O'Connor and Kim Kardashian WireImage / Getty Images
Sinead O'Connor cancels all gigs for 'her own health' months after son's death
Sinead O'Connor wears bright pink to Hindu funeral for 17-year-old son
Sinéad O'Connor entering rehab for 'trauma and addiction'
Sinéad O'Connor allegedly 'starving' due to 'agoraphobia'
Sinead O'Connor is not a Kim Kardashian fan.
"What is this c–t … doing on the cover of Rolling Stone?" she angrily posted to her Facebook page on Tuesday about Kardashian's recent Rolling Stone cover, adding that, "Music has officially died."
The "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer continued her rant against the cover by remarking that Rolling Stone is to blame for having "murdered" music.
"Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh can no longer be expected to take all the blame." she wrote, "Bob Dylan must be f–king horrified."
At the end of her post she called for a boycott against Rolling Stone magazine.
In 2013, O'Connor got into a tiff with Miley Cyrus after penning an open letter urging her not to let the music industry turn her into a prostitute, to which Cyrus responded, "Before Amanda Bynes… There was…[Sinead O'Connor]," adding, "Sinead. I don't have time to write you an open letter cause I'm hosting & performing on SNL this week."

Jim Parsons heckles a tardy theatergoer


First things first. Inc42 is now four years old. Moving in tandem with the constantly evolving media industry, we've adapted and evolved from being an amateur blog to the leading Indian digital media publication that delivers fact-based, data-driven journalism on the Indian startup ecosystem, touching the lives of more than 10 Mn people every single month.
This meant that our website needed to evolve as well, to encompass all the products that we've built over the last four years for the Indian startup ecosystem — from our editorial stories and videos to our interactive graphs and industry reports, not to mention all the exciting new things in the pipeline.
My co-founder Utkarsh Agarwal led the exercise of our website to revamp and, after weeks of deliberation and multiple iterations, we finally came up with something that solves these three problems.
The result is what you're looking at. This is the first version of our new website and over the coming weeks, it will evolve further.
Let me give you a few highlights and tell you how this new design will enhance your experience.
Accessibility: Our menu has evolved considerably and will now enable you to access all our products while showing you the latest stories published across various formats, relating to sectors/industries across the board.
Discoverability: Our next improvement comes in the form of 'search'. You'll find a search icon at the top of every page and it is the fastest way to find the most relevant content for yourself. Try it and you'll know what we're talking about.
A faster and clutter-free experience: If you're pressed for time, we've introduced a 'Summary' feature for you that enables you to read the important highlights of a story without having to read the entire story.
Moreover, you'll find that the reading experience on mobile devices is now a lot easier on the eyes and easier to navigate as well. Even the advertisements are a lot more subtle, yet impactful, and not in your face.
If you have any feedback about the design, do share it with us.
Now, onto other important things. When we launched Inc42 four years ago, our mission was to be the guiding light for the then-nascent Indian startup ecosystem and be the cheerleader for as many startups and entrepreneurs as possible. And the never-say-never attitude of our youth made us believe this mission was possible.
Now, more than four years into our making, after having published more than 13,000 stories, we believe we've taken steps in the right direction, though we're still a long way from achieving our mission.
As we work tirelessly to grow this startup ecosystem and help entrepreneurs succeed, we've made some minor accomplishments along the way. Not meaning to toot our own horn, but we'd love to share the joy of our successes with you all.
We, at Inc42, want to solve problems facing Indian startups and even preempt future questions. How can we nurture the Indian startup ecosystem further? How can we make it the most vibrant ecosystem in the world? How can we reach the farthest corner of the country and help the entrepreneur sitting in the remotest village of India?
To do this, we need to grow faster and innovate in ways that support our mission. In this age of information overload, a digital media company can't just be in the business of reporting news. It has to evolve and bring something 'more' to the table.
Last year, we launched our flagship conference 'The Junction', held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, which was a new way to bring 300 investors, entrepreneurs, and influencers together under one roof for three days. Since then, we've been in a constant introspection mode on what new offerings can we bring to our readers while supporting our mission.
This led us to launch Inc42 BrandLabs, the brand solutions arm of Inc42, this year. This move helped us become profitable and that's how we intend to be from here on. We have the biggest ambitions, but if we can't grow organically without spending prized investor money, it's unlikely we'll be able to achieve anything.
Through our trials and tribulations, learnings and experiences, we've grown from a team of three founders to more than 25, and we're now collectively putting our minds together to come up with new products and projects that you'll get to see over the next few months.
The website remodelling was the first of these projects and there are many more to come.
I hope you'll stick with us on this journey as we try to grow the Indian startup ecosystem and help make it the biggest, most impactful startup ecosystem in the world!

Шакенборг (, ) — резиденция датской королевской семьи, расположенная в Южной Ютландии в 5 км к западу от  в городке .

Особняк на этом месте был заложен епископатом Рибе и назывался Мёгельтёндерхус. Во время реформации в Дании был конфискован датской монархией, а в 1661 году был передан графу Гансу Шаку (Hans Schack) в благодарность за службу в войне против шведов. Новый владелец разобрал большую часть особняка и построил настоящий дворец Шакенборг в стиле барокко. В течение 11 поколений дворец принадлежал семье Шаков, а в 1978 году перешел в собственность королевской семьи.

Дворец закрыт для посещения, летом проводятся экскурсии дворцовым парком.

A parent involved in challenging Rockland County executive's order to ban children from classrooms and public places speaks out Saturday.
A parent and pediatric doctor spoke out Saturday in Newark on behalf of the families who challenged the Rockland County executive's order to ban children from classrooms and public places after a measles outbreak.
It was the day after a judge halted Rockland County Executive Ed Day's emergency declaration barring children who are unvaccinated against measles from schools, places of worship and other public areas.
"The fact that a state administrator, or a county administrator, or a Department of Health with shaky credentials, and even shakier statements to the press, could get in between me and my doctor's decision about my child's health is unconscionable, it can't continue, and it's the reason I put myself on the line financially, with the time, with the public scrutiny to say this has to change," said the parent, who has a child who attends Green Meadow Waldorf School.
Day issued the declaration on March 26 to deal with a measles outbreak that started in October when a traveler from Israel visited the county, which led to 167 cases that occurred in insular Orthodox and Hasidic communities.
The parent, who identified herself as J.R., read some pre-written answers about being involved in the lawsuit including her concerns about the disruption to her family's life from her child having to be kept home. J.R. said she did not vaccinate her child for measles due to a religious exemption.
Michael Sussman, the attorney for several dozen parents whose unvaccinated children attend Green Meadow Waldorf School in Chestnut Ridge and two other sister schools, also had Hennie Fitzpatrick on hand as they met with the media at the DoubleTree Hilton near Newark Airport.
Fitzpatrick is a New Jersey doctor who supported the parents in another lawsuit against the Rockland County Health Department.
Fitzpatrick, whose specialty is pediatrics, said measles is not a "dangerous virus" and there is "no particular risk" to the public. She also said that families should have a "choice" when it comes to vaccination against measles and other viruses. She also said she did not agree with the ban, but that was a personal opinion, not a medical opinion.
Major health and medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, support vaccines as safe and effective. Complications from measles include pneumonia, brain damage, deafness and death.
Measles can be especially dangerous for babies, young children and pregnant women who haven't had the virus. People with immune system problems are also at heightned risk.
Sussman said the ruling by Acting State Supreme Court Judge Rolf Thorsen means that the children whose families filed the lawsuit can return to school.
"Rather than quarantine the affected population, the county executive attempted to quarantine children who are healthy and who are not carriers of the disease," Sussman said. He also said he would like to sit down with Day and have a discussion on the matter accompanied by public health professionals.
Sussman also said that the children whose families were involved in the lawsuit did not attend schools where there were measles cases.

Docteur Helen Magnus est un personnage de fiction de la série télévisée canadienne Sanctuary. Elle est interprétée par Amanda Tapping (déjà connue pour son rôle de Samantha Carter dans Stargate SG-1). C'est une scientifique qui travaille au Sanctuaire, qu'elle a fondée peu après la  guerre mondiale (environ en 1951).

Biographie
Helen Magnus, né le  de l'union de Gregory Magnus et Patricia Bancroft, a actuellement 171 ans(2021). Elle est diplômée d'Oxford, dans cette université elle faisait partie d'un cercle qui se faisait appeler « les Cinq ». C'est dans ce cercle qu'elle et 4 autres personnes s'injectèrent un sérum qu'elle a conçu à partir de sang de vampire.

Elle a gardé beaucoup de ses habitudes de l'époque victorienne par exemple elle a horreur du café.

Oxford
Elle voulait étudier à Oxford mais ne le put car à cette époque les femmes n'avaient pas le droit d'étudier. Alors elle décida de se battre jusqu'au jour où on la laisserait entrer. Un jour, elle apprit qu'elle pouvait assister aux cours mais pas y participer. Là-bas elle fit la rencontre de John Druitt, Sir James Watson, Nigel Griffin et Nikola Tesla et de Adam Worth. Mais, elle forma un cercle juste avec les 4 premiers ce qui déplut à Adam.

Les Cinq
À Oxford, Helen, John Druitt, Sir James Watson, Nigel Griffin et Nikola Tesla s'injectèrent du sang de Sanguine Vampiris ce qui leur conféra des pouvoirs surhumains. Helen reçut le don de longévité, John celui de se téléporter, l'intelligence de James atteint un niveau inégalé, Nigel reçut le don d'invisibilité et Nikola Tesla devint un semi-vampire. En 2010, seul Helen, John et Nikola sont encore vivants car James est mort l'année précédente et Nigel dans les années 1960.

Adam Worth
Adam Worth voulait entrer chez les Cinq mais ne le put alors il décida de faire ses expériences tout seul. Un jour, il trouva la solution à ses problèmes, il venait de devenir le Dr Worth et Mister Hyde.

De 1910 à 1913
Les seules informations que nous avons, sur cette période, sont qu'elle était à bord du RMS Titanic, la nuit du 14 au , quand il a coulé et qu'elle a été sauvée de justesse par Margaret Brown.

Guerre mondiale

Là aussi on ne dispose que peu d'informations sur cette période, nous savons juste qu'elle soignait les blessés à la bataille de Verdun.

Guerre mondiale

Toujours avec peu d'informations elle faisait partie de la Résistance, elle a côtoyé Winston Churchill et Eisenhower et elle était présente (à la place de Eisenhower) le jour de la capitulation des nazis car « Eisenhower ne voulait pas respirer le même air que les nazis », Phrase de Will épisode Le choix de Will et Helen répliqua : La plupart d'entre eux (les nazis) ne respiraient même pas. En , elle fut envoyée avec Watson et Griffin en France occupée, dans la région de Carentan, afin d'empêcher les Allemands d'utiliser un feu élémentaire sur les troupes du Débarquement.

1950

Jimmy Garoppolo is in the quarterback meeting room with Tom Brady just every day, and if anyone on the team knew why the New England Patriots star was missing on Sunday and Monday, it would probably be Garoppolo.
Garoppolo's "game day" reference was about last week's preseason game, when he assumed Brady would start, but then Brady was suddenly scratched after cutting his thumb with scissors.
Brady wasn't at the Patriots' first preseason game either. He was attending memorial services for a family member, the team said. Because of the thumb injury, it's possible he won't play at all this preseason.
The absences on Sunday and Monday were excused and not injury-related, CSN New England's Tom Curran reported. He also said no reason was given for the absences and — sit down, because this will shock you — Patriots coach Bill Belichick wouldn't say anything about why Brady might be gone or if even confirm the absences were excused.
"No, I don't comment on any personal situations," Belichick said, according to Mike Giardi of CSNNE.
What if Brady can't play at all this preseason?
"We'll take it day to day, week to week," Belichick said, according to the Boston Globe's Ben Volin.
Maybe Brady is at practice on Tuesday, plays in the third preseason game and then quietly starts his four-game suspension after sitting out the preseason finale. But is this all a bit odd? Sure. "Obviously unusual" is what Curran wrote about Brady's absences this month. Tom's son John's birthday is Aug. 22, so that might be a reason for him missing practice. It's not like Brady is going to play in the first four weeks of the regular season anyway.
But as with most things concerning the Patriots, there's probably an easy explanation and the team is guarding it like a state secret. So that leads to a bit of mystery surrounding Brady not being at practice. We'll just have to see what happens the rest of this week.

The electric vehicle fast-charging station firm Fastned has been granted a total of €4.1 million by the German government, to be used for the development of 25 fast-charging stations in Germany, according to an email sent to CleanTechnica.
The grant — awarded by State Secretary Rainer Bomba of the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure — will be used to build electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging stations capable of providing up to 250 kilometers worth of range within 20 minutes.
The first of these new fast-charging stations are expected to enter service within the first few months of 2018, the company revealed in its email.
The lack of EV fast-charging stations in Germany has, of course, often been cited as the primary reason that electric car options remain non-viable for many. Even Tesla's Supercharger network is not yet as developed as it needs to be to support business travelers, if a certain German government minister is to be believed.

NASA Astronaut Shares His Story With K-8 Students - USA Patriotism!
Nearly 600 children, kindergarten through eighth grade, from Aurora Quest K-8 School filled the gymnasium for a general assembly. Little did they know that this particular assembly would be unlike any they've had this year. After Dave Schoenhals, Aurora Quest K-8 principal, greeted his students he revealed the big surprise. They would be meeting a real-life astronaut.
The gym grew loud with the chatter of children as they shifted around on the wood floor and whispered into the ears of their neighbors.
Schoenhals asked the children to quiet down and give their full attention to Col. Jack "2 Fish" Fischer, NASA astronaut.
Fischer started his talks with the children by making something very clear.
"So I have a couple words that I love to use all the time. 'Awesome,' because it's awesome. The second one is 'Cool'," said Fischer.
He encouraged the children to be vocal during his presentation. Whenever they saw or heard something they liked, they used one of his favorite words. With his only request out of the way, Fischer began his presentation while standing in front of a large projector screen that played footage from his missions. He explained everything from training to traditions, the importance of quarantine and how space suits work, as well as what he does on launch day and some the high-tech equipment they use on-board.
Fischer departed the gymnasium to an applause from students who gained a new perspective on space exploration.

No Doubt was one of the most famous rock bands of the 1990's that continued to appeal to a wide audience, and produce hits through the 2000's. Their charismatic frontwoman is Gwen Stefani, who is famous for her style and distinctive singing voice. Their music is a mixture of rock, ska, and punk. Later work takes on more hip-hop, pop, and electronic sounds. When you're using such a wide variety of musical instruments, you have to reproduce the sound on vinyl. I can't tell you what a difference it makes. Listen to these hot albums from No Doubt on vinyl, you'll enjoy it.

10 innovative Irish companies steering us towards a green future

Aldi unveils checkout-free concept store (GB)
Enterprise Ireland has launched a new campaign spotlighting companies from Ireland that are scoring sustainability goals.
This week, as the world turned green for St Patrick's Day, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, TD, launched an international green innovation campaign from Enterprise Ireland.
Taking the opportunity of the national holiday to showcase Ireland's green innovators and the contribution they make around the world, Varadkar said: "Climate action is, after all, an enormous business opportunity.
"As the world emerges from Covid-19, we need to understand that there will be no return to the old normal. We'll need to build back better and prioritise the sustainable investments that underpin a global green recovery and the transition to low-carbon economies."
Ready for a Green Future puts 10 companies that are leading by example at the fore of its campaign. These companies are helping to reduce the use of fossil fuels and tackling emissions-heavy sectors such as food production, construction and transportation with creative sci-tech solutions.
Abbey Machinery has an agricultural heritage dating back to the 19th century, but the company has evolved with the times and is a pioneer of low-emission slurry spreading (LESS).
Slurry spreading is just one of the factors contributing to agriculture's significant ammonia emissions. But with Abbey Machinery's LESS applicators, farmers can reduce emissions by placing slurry in narrow bands.
Continuing to innovate, Abbey's new smart slurry tankers are fitted out with automation and sensing technology. For example, a near-infrared sensor analyses the slurry make-up, enabling farmers to target nutrients when and where needed, reducing the widespread use of artificial fertiliser.
CitySwift
Transport is a huge contributor to global carbon emissions and passenger road vehicles are the main culprit, accounting for almost three-quarters of all transport CO2 emissions.
Any effort to reduce the number of road vehicles can change that, which is where Galway-based start-up CitySwift comes in.
CitySwift's cloud-native platform aims to improve the performance of urban bus networks through data analytics so that more people can ditch the private car in favour of public transport. The data engine is already used by bus services in the UK and last year the company raised €2m in funding and began expanding.
Cygnum
Irish construction company Cygnum uses automated systems to build precise, computer-designed timber frame structures. This off-site construction reduces energy use on-site, but the material also makes a big difference.
While much of our world is built using concrete, its key ingredient – cement – is the source of about 8pc of global CO2 emissions. Timber, however, actually stores carbon, and so Cygnum's structures act as a carbon sink.
In 2014, the Cork company was contracted to build the UK's largest sustainable commercial building. More recently, a street of low-energy houses built using Cygnum's highly insulated timber structures was awarded the coveted RIBA Stirling Prize.
Davra
The internet of things (IoT) means we can gather data from many sources, and that data can reveal opportunities for energy efficiency, emissions reduction and better management of resources.
Davra is a Dublin company helping organisations to leverage the power of IoT. Irish Water uses Davra's technology to monitor pipes across the nation and prevent millions of litres being lost through leaks. Bus services in the US have used the technology to measure fuel efficiency. And, using European Space Agency satellite data, Davra also helps the mining industry monitor underground activity, which in turns helps to protect surrounding farmland and prevent pollution.
Ecocem
As already mentioned, the cement used widely in the construction industry has a massive carbon footprint. This is why Ecocem is focused on making a low-carbon alternative.
Ecocem manufactures ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), which it claims produces 32kg of CO2 emissions per ton, compared to upwards of 800kg from regular cement. Also, GGBS is manufactured using leftover material from steel mills, saving it from landfill.
GGBS and cement are typically mixed together to make concrete blocks, though they tend to take longer to set. However, Ecocem has patented an accelerant that can speed up drying time.
GridBeyond
GridBeyond started life as Endeco Technologies, a company using IoT technology to help businesses reduce energy consumption. That mission has expanded as GridBeyond also aims to power the switch to 100pc renewable energy.
The Dublin-headquartered company applies AI and machine learning to help businesses optimise their energy use. Further to that, GridBeyond encourages businesses to store excess energy from renewables which they can then sell back to the grid using the company's robotic trading technology.
GridBeyond's vision is to build a shared energy economy and it is already working with large energy consumers such as data centres, hospitals and refineries.
Hanley Energy
Headquartered in Co Meath, Hanley Energy has been providing software to monitor energy use since 2009. It has particularly proven its expertise in critical power management for data centres.
Using Hanley Energy's proprietary technology, businesses can track all energy usage, analyse trends and identify significant energy losses or overuse. Armed with this information, efficiency measures can be taken that not only cut energy costs but reduce the business's carbon footprint.
By the end of this year, Hanley Energy itself aims to have a supply chain that is 100pc sustainably sourced, using only certified green suppliers and materials.
Carlow company Keenan produces farm animal feeders that combine engineering and IoT technology to capture data on animal feed mixes in real time, in order to optimise the mix quality. The result is herd nutrition that is precise and tailored, which not only reduces waste but can also improve yields of milk and beef.
This contributes to an improved feed conversion efficiency in livestock, and the Carbon Trust has validated Keenan's feeder as a more sustainable approach that can help to reduce on-farm emissions.
Established in 1978, Keenan was acquired by US animal feed company Alltech in 2016.
OceanEnergy
Part of Ireland's 'blue economy', Cork company OceanEnergy captures and converts wave energy using its unique technology.
There's more than a decade of R&D behind OceanEnergy's groundbreaking device, which floats on the ocean's surface, generating electrical energy. Each one can produce enough electricity to power 1,000 homes.
OceanEnergy is backed by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and also received $11.5m in funding from the US Department of Energy. It has partnered with the US Navy in a $25m project to launch a grid-connected device in Hawaii. This project will be used to test and optimise the device for future use.
Xocean
As OceanEnergy and other key players have noticed, the ocean economy presents an expansive opportunity. What businesses operating in this space will need for their operations is data.
Xocean is a Louth-based start-up that remotely operates unmanned surface vessels to gather ocean data for survey companies and other organisations. To date, the company has supplied data to more than 12 offshore windfarms across the EU, North and South America.
In a funding round that closed in November 2019, Xocean secured €7.9m from investors including Enterprise Ireland, the Marine Institute Ireland and the Creative Destruction Lab.

NIS is the main law controlling security practices in the UK today. Currently a straight copy of the EU NIS Directive, one of the benefits of Brexit leapt upon by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is the new ability to amend NIS's reporting thresholds.
Bringing MSPs under NIS "would provide a baseline for expected cybersecurity provision and better protect the UK economy and critical national infrastructure from cyber security threats," as UK.gov said in a consultation document issued on Wednesday. Its plans are for MSPs, currently not subject to NIS, to be brought into the fold. This includes defining what an MSP does, legally, and possibly ending NIS' existing exemption on SMEs.
"The government recognises the strong need to minimise regulatory burden on small and micro-businesses particularly in a rapidly evolving industry such as this. However, recent incidents have highlighted the scale of risk that can be associated with managed service providers – regardless of their size," said the consultation document.
In essence, if an "operator of essential services" or a critical national infrastructure business outsources something to your MSP, prepare for NIS compliance.
And the flip side: money
Enforcement of NIS is carried out by the ICO, which is getting a funding bonus if Parliament nods through the NIS amendments. Initially coming from general taxation, in time DCMS wants to "extend the existing cost recovery provisions to allow regulators (for example, Ofcom, Ofgem, and the ICO) to recover the entirety of reasonable implementation costs from the companies that they regulate."
SMEs across the whole British economy are already familiar with this kind of "cost recovery" activity through stealth taxes such as the ICO's data protection registration fee.
Andy Kays, chief exec of a managed detection and response firm in London called Socura, agreed that "further market intervention is required to help raise the bar to protect the UK economy."
"However," he added, "I do believe that interventions like Cyber Essentials, GDPR and NIS have raised the profile of cyber and data security in the UK, and have improved understanding and investment where they are applicable among businesses."
Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor with Slovakian infosec firm ESET, also agreed, saying in a statement: "Essential services are desperately in need of better protection so these new laws will help direct businesses into a more secure offering with the help and direction required. Laws often may seem like they do not go far enough but digital crime is fast paced and the goal posts constantly move making such plans difficult to project or even become out of date by the time they land."
The consultation closes on 22 April. As well as questions about money, DCMS is also asking about whether the regs should be extended to SMEs and how detailed they ought to be. Have your say via theses 66 pre-formatted questions. ®
The first cohort of the NDRC accelerator by Dogpatch Labs has four female co-founded start-ups and two international ones.
After taking over the NDRC accelerator from the Government in 2020, Dogpatch Labs gave it a makeover and launched its first cohort of 11 early-stage start-ups last year.
This year, they are running two accelerators with two separate cohorts and increasing the total number of participating start-ups from 11 to 14. The first cohort, H1, has a total of seven start-ups – four of which have female co-founders.
Announced yesterday (19 January), the first cohort also has two regional start-ups and two international start-ups co-founded by Irish CEOs who graduated from top international talent accelerators Antler and Entrepreneur First.
Here we list NDRC's first cohort of seven early-stage start-ups in 2022 representing the next generation of Ireland's start-up ecosystem who are gearing up for Demo Day on 7 April.

This start-up helps patients with breathing difficulties such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to monitor their health. A device called Filter can be used by patients in conjunction with an AI-powered digital health coach called Kos to track their respiratory health and get alerts when something's wrong.
Filter was founded in 2020 by Andrew Gallagher and Stephen Keenan, both University College Dublin alums. Gallagher, who is the chief technology officer, is an engineer by profession, while Keenan has a background in both law and computer science.
GreyScout
GreyScout offers a business tool for companies that want to protect their brand against intellectual property (IP) infringements and counterfeits. The start-up's product scans across online domains including marketplaces, search engines, websites, social media channels and web forums to identify and remove policy violations and unauthorised content, alerting clients in real time.
On a mission to 'democratise IP protection', GreyScout was founded in 2019 by chief executive John Killian and chief technology officer Chris McCauley.
This start-up has built a novel social platform for sports fans to discuss live matches with friends and make predictions on the outcome. In a game-like interface, users have to compete against each other in guessing next moves of sports payers and the winning side – enriching the virtual live entertainment experience.
Herd was co-founded by Jack Cantillon, who is the chief executive, and Robert Minford, who is the chief technology officer. A qualified lawyer in New York, Ireland and the UK, Cantillon was featured in Sports for Business 30 Under 30 in 2020.
Jama AI
Jama is a start-up that uses natural language processing to help B2B sales reps with communication intelligence and analytics. The platform is a one-stop-shop for all the messaging channels used by sales reps, such as WhatsApp, WeChat and Line, to make customer relationship management simpler and win more deals.
It was co-founded by Kerry-based Aisling Hayes, who is the chief executive of Jama with prior experience in founding and running start-ups in Ireland. Jama graduated from the global accelerator by Antler, an early-stage VC firm based in Singapore.
Öogo
This Dublin-founded start-up connects people who need childcare with those who are looking to provide it. Childcare providers called Minders who can be booked to offer a wide range of services including online tutoring, baby-sitting and maternity nursing.
With changes in the nature of work for many parents because of remote and hybrid work, Öogo hopes to act as a Tinder for childcare, making it simple. It was founded in 2019 by Kate Clark, who worked in sales in New York for five years before starting the business.
Squid aims to promote customer loyalty towards businesses by incentivising buy from them through loyalty cards. By partnering with Squid, brands can ask their customers to download the Squid app and get rewards for purchases.

If the world of Call of Duty seems fraught enough when you are playing it, try being in it. That could be the consequence of Microsoft's proposed $68.7bn (£50.4bn) acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the video games maker behind the shoot 'em up franchise. Announcing the deal, Satya Nadella, Microsoft's chief executive, said that gaming would "play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms".
The metaverse is a catch-all term for an immersive experience that blends the physical and digital worlds through a mixture of virtual and augmented reality. This concept is years away from being fully realised, but it is envisaged that participants – using digital representations of themselves, or avatars – will access it through a virtual reality headset, or augmented reality (AR) glasses that put a digital layer over what they see in the real world. In the metaverse they can socialise with friends, carry out their job – or take part in a video game.
John Egan, chief executive of market intelligence firm L'Atelier BNP Paribas, says that with the Activision deal Microsoft has made it "very clear" that gaming will be at the centre of how metaverse concepts work. And it is not just using the games, but also deploying the creative and technical talent behind them to build virtual worlds.
"Imagine Call of Duty. You'd be dropped into a Battle Royale-like environment, on to a planet like the way Fortnite is now, though bigger by a factor of several thousand. You've got an entire planet, so your experience can go on for weeks at a time."

Egan adds that Call of Duty would work in what he calls a "digi-physical" environment, where AR comes in to play and the game is superimposed on participants' glasses, or even contact lenses.
"Microsoft could create virtual layers over existing urban infrastructure, within which people can use mixed reality lenses, like glasses or contact lenses, to interact with each other. So imagine something like a skateboard park that becomes a Call of Duty arena. And people use their phones as a gun, and they've got their glassware on as the mixed reality infrastructure to do that interaction."
Of course, not every metaverse world will be like Call of Duty – and not everyone would want to go anywhere near it. Egan says Activision games such as Crash Bandicoot, featuring the antics of an anthropomorphic marsupial, offer a more family-friendly alternative.
Analysts have also pointed to the fact that Activision will immediately bolster Microsoft's gaming business – it owns the Xbox platform and the Minecraft and Halo franchises – regardless of its metaverse plans. The Bill Gates-founded company will gain access to 390 million monthly users, adding to its Game Pass subscription service, which already has 25 million users.
Dan Ives, a managing director at the US investment firm Wedbush Securities, describes Microsoft's metaverse vision for the deal as "the cherry on top of the sundae".
"We believe for Microsoft this was the right deal at the right time to boost its gaming strategy and streaming ambitions. Nadella recognised Microsoft's consumer business needed a shot in the arm," he says.
The agreed deal would also need to get past US regulators, who served notice on Tuesday that the tech industry would face a tougher regime. Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, the US competition watchdog, and Jonathan Kanter, head of antitrust at the department of justice, announced a review of merger guidelines – with tech among their areas of concern. Kanter said: "We need to understand why so many industries have too few competitors."

It could be argued that this is a "vertical" deal between two businesses that do not compete directly: Microsoft's Xbox platform and Activision's games. But regulators are likely to look at whether Microsoft could shut off Activision titles from rival platforms such as PlayStation. Microsoft said on Tuesday it did not intend to "pull communities away" from PlayStation.
Rebecca Allensworth, professor of law at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, says Khan and Kanter's review signals a toughening of the environment for tech.
"Generally, there is a lot of muscle right now behind antitrust enforcement in tech," she says. "Changing the merger guidelines to be harsher against tech mergers is a part of that. The comments on Tuesday highlighted the idea that the guidelines need to be able to recognise competitive harm from mergers that are vertical or mixed vertical. That's the merger between Activision and Microsoft." Nonetheless, she says that it is "still very hard to challenge vertical mergers" and the deal may go through.
However, L'Atelier's Egan added that even if the deal got past the FTC and justice department, there was also the question of integration. On Monday Activision said it had fired or pushed out more than three dozen employees and disciplined another 40 since July, to address allegations of sexual harassment and other misconduct at the company, which has nearly 10,000 employees to Microsoft's 190,000.
"Microsoft has an extraordinarily high level of employee satisfaction," says Egan. "It's a really good company. You wonder if one of the biggest threats of this is Microsoft kind of letting the wolf in the door. How are Microsoft going to assimilate an organisation with a culture that is beset by issues to do with misogyny, diversity and harassment over the last number of years which they have failed utterly to remedy? How are Microsoft going to resolve that?"
Should the deal go through, Microsoft will have real-world concerns too.

Rotherham Ladies stunned the northern road running world at Sefton Park by a mature gold medal position, holding off an impressive comeback by Wakefield in the process by some 35 seconds.
Jade Allen's initial 13.08 time, fifth-fastest on the day, saw RHAC hold second place for four stages with Natalie Grant, Rebecca Middleton and Anabelle Grady before Natasha Hatswell took that vital step up to first, for anchor runner Steph Burns to cross the line in glory.
All the RH girls scored times inside 14 minutes- alone among all the competing clubs.
Rotherham B claimed an impressive 22nd place with Robyn Lanceley's 14.10 getting good support from Sharon Marshall, Jayne Allen, Nicola Raynor, Nina Hague and Philippa James. This too would be a qualifying position for the nationals, but unlike the men, ladies have no qualifying requirement.
Rotherham Men qualified in 18th place for the national finals in their event won by Liverpool Harriers. Only Leeds (4th) and Hallamshire (8th) finished better from the Yorkshire Clubs.
Superb achievements by the RH athletes, coaches, managers and supporters. Well done all of you.

Washington signs center Roullier to 4-year deal
The Washington Football Team signed center Chase Roullier to a four-year extension on Saturday, ensuring stability in the middle of their line.
The deal is worth $40.5 million with $19 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Roullier would have been a free agent after the season.
Roullier, a sixth-round pick from Wyoming in 2017, has solidified the center position for Washington. He started 16 games in 2018 and 14 a year ago. Roullier has played every snap on offense this season, the only player to do so for Washington. He has a career-high run block win rate of 76.1%, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He's also adept at helping to set protections and has quietly had a solid season.
By keeping Roullier, Washington can build line depth with players such as rookie Keith Ismael, who can play guard or center. The team has lacked quality line depth in previous seasons.
Washington will also try to keep right guard Brandon Scherff around, but because he was placed on the franchise tag, it can't negotiate with him until after the season. Scherff was named to his fourth Pro Bowl two weeks ago. Because Washington's left
