Lithuanian coat of arms "Vytis" and The Columns of Gediminas.
The Columns of Gediminas or Pillars of Gediminids are one of the earliest symbols of Lithuania and one of its historical coats of arms. They were used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, initially as a rulers' personal insignia, a state symbol, and later as a part of heraldic signs of leading aristocracy. During the period between World War I and World War II they were used by the Lithuanian Republic as a minor state symbol, e. g. on Litas coins and military equipment.
The symbol appears in the following form: horizontal line at bottom, vertical lines extent up at both sides. The square at the middle of the horizontal line is about half as tall as the vertical lines. Another vertical line rises from the top center of the square, giving an overall appearance is close to a trident. This form is the one usually seen in modern times, often drawn on walls and fences as protest against the Soviet occupation of Lithuania.
It is notable that the ancient pre-Christian symbols of Lithuania did not follow the same strict rules of heraldry as their western counterparts. Thus this symbol was used in Or and argent, usually on the field gules, and was depicted in various shapes on flags, banners and shields.
The name "Columns of Gediminas" was given in the XIX century by historian Teodor Narbutt, who supposed that the symbol was Gediminas' insignia. The more exact name of the symbol is the Pillars of Gediminids, since there is no direct evidence of its connection with Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas.

The engraving is made after this photo of Vincas Kudirka.
Vincas Kudirka (31 December [O.S. 19 December] 1858 - 16 November [O.S. 4 November] 1899) was a Lithuanian poet and physician, and the author of both the music and lyrics of the Lithuanian National Anthem, Tautiška giesmė. He is regarded in Lithuania as a National Hero. Kudirka used pen names V. Kapsas, Paežerių Vincas, Vincas Kapsas, P.Vincas, Varpas, Q.D, K., V.K, Perkūnas.
Kudirka was born in Paežeriai. He began studying history and philosophy in Warsaw in 1881, but changed his major and began studying medicine the following year. During his studies, he was arrested as a subversive for having a copy of Das Kapital in his possession, and was expelled from the University of Warsaw, but later re-admitted. He graduated in 1889, and worked as a country doctor in Šakiai and Naumiestis.
Kudirka began writing poetry in 1888. Simultaneously he became more active in the Lithuanian national rebirth movement. Together with other Lithuanian students in Warsaw, he founded the secret society Lietuva ("Lithuania"). The following year the society began publishing the clandestine newspaper Varpas ("The Bell"), which Kudirka edited and contributed to for the next ten years. In issue number 6 of Varpas, in September 1898, he published the text of Tautiška Giesmė, which would officially become in 1918, the Lithuanian National Anthem, set to music written by Kudirka himself for a violin.
Kudirka gave much to Lithuanian culture, and also published a collection of Lithuanian popular songs. He was also a noted writer of satire.
He died of tuberculosis at Naumiestis, on 16 November 1899, at age 40. The second half of Tautiška Giesmė was engraved on his gravestone.
On 5 July 2009, a statue of Vincas Kudirka was unveiled beside the Gediminas Avenue, the main street of the capital Vilnius. The unveiling, by dignitaries, including the Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus, coincided with festivities marking the 1000th anniversary of the first time Lithuania was mentioned in official chronicles.
From myself:
Kudirka, most likely, was a talented composer, if he wrote a Lithuanian anthem. But, I want to bring here the translation of his fable from the newspaper "Aushra" from 1885 - "Why Jews do not eat pork". The translation is made not in a poetic form, but conveys the meaning of the fable quite accurately. I will let everyone to make yours own conclusions:
"Why Jews do not eat pork," Vincas Kudirka, 1885.
"When Christ walked along the earth with his brothers - as the scriptures seem to us - and taught his saint his teachings, then he also fell into the the Lithuanian city.
Then the Jews decided to gather their crowds, having the aim of trampling down our Christ's glory. All this business properly having minted, have hidden Izya, one of them, in an inverted barrel.
And so, rising up cleverly because of the crowd, the rabbi said to Jesus Christ (hoping that he will make his honor completely dirty):
"We have heard that you have powerful power, you create unique miracles, in general - your reputation is known." "Do not you think we have to see at least one miracle from you? Then, we'll, all at once, believe in it. See that cask? Honey was stored in it. Tell us - what is there now?"
The Jews were glad of such a trick - Christ did not say a word. And the rabbi anecdotal, waving his hands.
"The pig is there," - Christ answered him.
It seemed that from the words the fun will be kindled, and for sure, the children and the elders are laughing, even without hiding their contempt.
But once - and the pig get out of the barrel! The Jews was in shock. It's hard to believe, but every thing sees the eyes. And the pig in the meantime shook his ear and squealed in an open field, where a whole herd was grazing in captivity. They wanted to find an unfortunate victim, to burn the bristles, to scrape off, to help the orphans to get their father back.
They searched for long enough - all in vain! And Izya became swine forever.
That's why the Jews do not touch the pigs. Until now, everyone is looking for Izya - but cannot find.
In all the world everybody knows these Jewish tricks - they do not bite their own, does not matter - are they fat or thin."
The coat of arms of Lithuania, consisting of an armour-clad knight on horseback holding an olden sword and shield, is also known as Vytis (pronounced [ʋiːt̪ɪs], "the Chaser"). The Lithuanian coat of arms is one of the oldest national coats of arms in Europe. It is one of very few containing symbolism adopted from ducal portrait seals rather than from coats of arms of dynasties, which is the case for most European countries.
Article 15 of the Constitution of Lithuania, approved by national referendum in 1992, stipulates, "The Coat of Arms of the State shall be a white Vytis on a red field". Heraldic shield features the field Gules (red) with an armoured knight on a horse salient Argent (white). The knight is holding in his dexter hand a sword Argent above his head. A shield Azure hangs on the sinister shoulder of the knight with a double cross Or (yellow) on it. The horse saddle, straps, and belts are Azure. The hilt of the sword and the fastening of the sheath, the stirrups, the curb bits of the bridle, the horseshoes, as well as the decoration of the harness, are Or (gold).
The blazon is the following:
Gules, a knight armed cap-à-pie mounted on a horse salient argent, brandishing a sword proper and maintaining a shield azure charged with a cross of Lorraine Or.

Revers:
In his project, R. Miknevičius paid more attention to the Neman, marking only the narrow glittering water strip of Merkis. R. Miknevičius looked from a bird's eye view of the wide river valley, romantically illuminated by the sun's rays making their way from under dark clouds - even the Märkinė mound itself rises in the foreground. Over the dark hills and forests, over the bright bends of the Nemunas and in the fading clouds, the Liberty Bell hangs, the sound of which is carried throughout Lithuania. The landscape is clearly romanticized and ideologized, its goal is to decorate the banknote, to awaken the patriotic feelings of the Lithuanians. The tonal drawing of the author was turned into a raster by the company's masters (from small horizontal lines), but this did not change the idealistic mood in any way.
The Bell of Freedom and merge of the Nemunas and Merkis rivers in the center of Lithuania, which flows into the Neman near the settlement of Merkinė, 20 km. northeast of the city of Druskininkai. This landscape is markedly romanticized and idealized, as the artist set a goal to decorate the bill, as well as to awaken the patriotic feelings of the people.
The Neman, Nemunas, Nyoman, Niemen or Memel, a major Eastern European river, rises in Belarus and flows through Lithuania before draining into the Curonian Lagoon, and then into the Baltic Sea at Klaipėda. It begins at the confluence of two smaller tributaries, about 15 kilometers (9 mi.) southwest of the town of Uzda in central Belarus, and about 55 km. (34 mi.) southwest of Minsk. In its lower reaches it forms the border between Lithuania and Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast. It also, very briefly, forms part of the Belarus–Lithuania border. The largest river in Lithuania, and the third-largest in Belarus, the Neman is navigable for most of its 900 km. (560 mi.) length.
The Merkys (Belarusian: Мяркіс Miarkis) is a river in southern Lithuania and northern Belarus. It flows for 13 km. (8 mi.) through Belarus, 5 km. (3 mi.) along the Belarus-Lithuanian border, and 195 km. (121 mi.) through Lithuania before joining the Nemunas near Merkinė.
Merkys is mostly fed by underground streams and therefore is cooler during summers and has smaller fluctuations in water level than other rivers in Lithuania. Near Žagarinė (128 km. or 80 mi. before its mouth) the Merkys is connected with Lake Papys by a canal. The Vokė originates from this lake and consumes most of the Merkys' water. Before the canal average discharge of the Merkys is 3 m3/s (110 cu ft/s) and below it only 0.7 m3/s (25 cu. ft/s). At the end of the XIX century the drainage basin of the Merkys grew by some 410 km2 (160 sq. mi.) as its tributary Ūla River overtook some of the Kotra's watershed area.
The Merkys is a popular destination among water tourism enthusiasts as part of it belongs to the Dzūkija National Park and it flows into the Neman near the historical site of Merkinė. Archaeological findings show that people inhabited the area as early as the Mesolithic period. The Merkys is known for its diverse fauna, being declared a reservoir for trout in 1974.
When the World War ended, the world took a breath. Lithuania like other war oppressed nations, had the right to look to the brighter horizon. Blood shed by Lithuanians guaranteed her liberty from slavery. The Lithuanians thought that the Allies after winning the war, would understand the sufferings of Lithuania, and would place a high value on the victims who had died for liberty.
From day to day we have waited patiently hoping that the Allies would become conscious of and recognize our nation's desire, and would grant to us liberty and independence. But unfortunately, up to this time, our desire and our demands have not been understood. Perhaps the Allies do not want to know or to understand. They tried to deliver Lithuania to the new exploiters, who since olden times, have been digging graves for us and making a coffin for our nation.
The time has arrived when duty demands that American Lithuanians take action to help their native land to gain freedom. It is necessary to go to the American government and to the whole world demanding protection for Lithuania, demanding her recognition as a free and independent country. It is necessary to present such a demand in the name of the Lithuanians living in America, and in their name speak as a body of 2 representatives. At this important moment, it is advisable to hold a convention of American Lithuanians.
The nationalists at their common council assembly in New York demanded that a convention of American Lithuanians be called. The necessity of such a convention is recognized by the boards of both common councils, held on Jan. 19, 1919, at the Tribune building, New York. At this assembly it was decided to call a convention of American Lithuanians. The nationalists demanded that such a convention should be held in New York, or in Washington, while the catholics demanded that it should be held in Pittsburgh or Cleveland. Because of the disagreement between the nationalist council and the American Lithuanian council, it looked as if the American Lithuanian convention could not be hold.
The Chicagoans, composed of the Chicago Lithuanian societies, foresaw the necessity of such a convention, and since agreement between these two councils of nationalists and Catholics seemed impossible, they took the initiative and called the American Lithuanian convention on June 9, 10, and 11, 1919, in Chicago.
The American Lithuanian convention was called by the largest organization of 3American Lithuanians in Chicago and received the support of various Lithuanian organizations throughout America: viz. the American Lithuanian council, the Prussian Lithuanian council, and one of the largest Lithuanian organizations, the Lithuanian Alliance of America.
The Chicago Lithuanian organizations decided at this convention to cast the Liberty Bell of Lithuanian to donate this bell to the American Lithuanians convention in the name of all the American Lithuanians and then to donate it to Lithuania. The idea is a noble one and is closely bound to the traditions of the people of the United States, who has so heartily received to her bosom the foreign peoples.
The bell was cast in St. Louis, Mo., and on the 5th day of June, was received in Chicago.
The Bell is more than 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, weights 1,000 pounds without frames, 1,200 pounds with frames. On one side is cast the image of a Knight, and the following poem:
"O, ring for ages, To the children of Lithuania; He is not worthy of Liberty, Who is not defending her". This four-line poem was written by Hon. Bronius Kazys Balutis (1879-1967) and became the motto of Bell of Freedom.
On the other side of the Bell is cast in relief the following words: "The American Lithuanian Convention to Lithuania. June 9, 10 and 11, 1919. Chicago, Illinois."
Let that Bell, the symbol of liberty, testify for ages to the coming generations the sympathy and love of the American Lithuanians for their nation and for the fatherland Lithuania.
The unveiling and ringing of the bell for the first time occurred on June 8, 1919, in the evening before the convention, at the Chicago Auditorium Theater. At this pre-convention festival there were present over 4,000 people and many prominent representatives of the United States government. In front of the stage and to the right were seated the speakers and the prominent guests. At the left side the bell, covered with the American and Lithuanian flags was placed. At one side of the bell stood Mrs. Drangelis, representing Columbia, at the other side was Miss Staniulis, representing Lithuania. Around them and the bell in half wheel form were little girls, appropriately dressed representing virgins consecrated to the gods and to the service of watching the sacred fire. In the center of the stage was the Birutis choir, under the direction of the composer, Stanislovas Simkus. The choir was surrounded by a few hundred Lithuanian soldiers who served in the United States army during the World War.
The program began with the American and the Lithuanian National hymns. Then the bell was unveiled and rung. The ceremony, Columbia, delivering the Bell to Lithuania, was as follows:
"Cradle of ancient liberty, whose voice inspired, armed the free, unto a smiling land brought peace, and blessed thy sons with freedom's ease, Lithuania, thee I hail! Thy happy lot, from tyrants freed, inspired the base, insensate greed Of evil foes, from near and far who waged on thee unholy war, Lithuania, to the death".
Lithuania, accepting from America the donation, the symbol of liberty, answered: "In years which seemed in horror draped, Years when my soil by foe was raped, I dreamed of better, happier days, Of ancient times, through mem'ry's haze, Columbia. When o'ver my soil brute armies trod, And crushed my soul beneath my sod, I saw my sons and daughters dead, Die, as in shambles, for my weal Columbia.
After the ceremonies, speeches followed. The speeches were delivered by United States Congressmen, William Mason and A.J. Sabath, both from the state of Illinois; The Chairman of the state of Illinois legislature, Davis E. Shanahan; Judge G.F. Barrett, of Cook County; V.F. Jankus, of New York; Attorney J.S. Lopatto, of Wilkes 6Barre, Pa.; and M. Vinikas, of Washington, D.C. The governor of the state of Illinois, Frank O. Lowden, sent a letter explaining that he was unable to be present at this festival. The chairman of the evening was John I. Bagdziunas.
On August 15, 1920, the Liberty Bell of Lithuania, in Chicago, was passed into the hands of the government of Lithuania.
At this manifastation, the president of the Liberty Bell of Lithuania committee, delivered to the Lithuanian government through John Vileisis the symbol of liberty, the present of the American Lithuanians.
Part of the speech follows: "At this delightful opportunity, the committee of the Liberty Bell of Lithuania does great honor to the fatherland of Lithuania, through her representatives, by means of the donation of the American Lithuanians, the Liberty Bell of Lithuania. Let it (the bell) travel to Lithuania, to Vilnius on the Gedeminas Hill and stay there forever as the guard of the liberty of Lithuania. "Oh thou Bell, the symbol of liberty, we the American Lithuanians, are delivering thee to our fatherland Lithuania. Thou by being on the Gedeminas Hill, day and night, guard our fatherland. If at any time you should see the threatening danger to our fatherland, if the enemy should threaten to harm our brothers and sisters, threaten to take away their liberty, ring with full power, when we hear thy voice, we will help Lithuania. We will defend her from her enemies, no matter who they may be."
"Therefore, Honorable Mission, representatives of Lithuania, Honorable president John Vileisis, I beg you to accept this symbol of liberty, the donation of the American Lithuanians to Lithuania, with all the assets which are wrapped in the bell. I beg you to accept it with our most hearty good wishes from the American Lithuanians".
Mr. John Vileisis, after accepting the Liberty Bell, and all the assets, delivered a rich and timely address, thanking the convention for the donation and the assets.
Today the Bell of Freedom is in the Military Museum Vytautas the Great (Vytauto Didžiojo karo muziejus), in Kaunas. (flps.newberry.org)

The banknote was not issued due to insufficient means of protection against counterfeits.
A set of Lithuanian banknotes in my collection.
On November 29, 2017, the Bank of Lithuania issued gift sets of Lithuanian banknotes, which were not issued due to insufficient means of protection against counterfeits.. In total, 5000 sets were released.
Designer: Raimondas Miknevičius.
The idea of a national currency system was first discussed on May 26, 1988 at the Institute of Economics of the Academy of Sciences at a meeting of Lithuanian and Estonian scientists. At this meeting, Stasys Uosis, a professor at the University of Vilnius, publicly announced that an independent monetary system is no less necessary than a national writing system. Gradually, the development of legal acts regulating the functioning of an independent monetary system began.
At the same time, the first steps were taken in the creation of artistic design for the litas. As one of the authors of Lithuanian banknotes Giedrius Jonaitis stated, "at first I could not even believe that this [design of banknotes] was a serious matter." On September 11, 1989, a group of scientists, economists and artists gathered in Vilnius at the Institute of History and discussed the principles of developing the Lithuanian currency. Soon after, plans to develop Lithuanian banknotes were presented to a wide audience of artists. But few of them offered their services, although the declared idea of the national currency was approved. As Raimondas Miknevičius, the unofficial leader of a small group of artists, said, "it was perfectly natural, because many understood that they did not have the faintest idea of how the money was created and where it was necessary to begin."
Indeed, at the beginning of the process of creating banknotes, artists were faced with great uncertainty: young designers had no way of knowing how the currencies of other countries were worked out and printed, what the production process was. The currency emission of the USSR was classified and controlled by the State Security Committee (KGB); to show interest in this topic was dangerous. Much discussion arose as to how the future Lithuanian banknotes will look, what should be depicted on them, and also what the denomination structure should be.
The unofficial work plan was issued in writing on December 14, 1989 after D. Trinkunas, Minister of Culture of the Lithuanian SSR, and Z. Zhilyavičius, Chairman of the Lithuanian Republic Bank of the State Bank of the USSR, announced a two-stage tender for creating a currency design (litas and cents). The jury's meeting was held on February 12, 1990. Unfortunately, the presented works were received with great skepticism. It was obvious that the artists saw the Lithuanian currency as a continuation of the Litas of the interwar period both from the economic point of view and in the artistic aspect. In the representation of artists in Litas images of the rulers of the GDL, portraits of historical figures, architectural monuments, ornaments of folk art should be depicted. Most of the portraits of the rulers of the GDL were published in the chronicles of the XVI century. Alessandra Gvagnini, while some of them (portraits of Vitaut the Great, Kestutis) are the imagination of artists of the XIX-XX centuries. In this regard, it was decided not to award the first place. The second place went to Alvidas Mandeika, the youngest participant of the competition (for the image on the banknotes of the portraits of the DKL rulers), and to Ludwikas Pocius (for depicting the main events, personalities and objects from the history of Lithuania).
After this competition, the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the Lithuanian SSR was instructed to develop in a short time recommendations for perpetuating the outstanding personalities of Lithuania, as well as historical and architectural monuments on paper currency units - banknotes. It was decided in a symbolic way to select the figures of the first rebirth as heroes for the image on the national currency (it was argued that the desire for independence was the second revival). The Lithuanian national revival is a social, cultural and political movement that took place at the end of the 19th century. - the beginning of the XX century, the purpose of which was to form a modern nation and political emancipation, as well as the creation of an independent national state.
The task consisted not only in the artistic depiction of the selected individuals, the designs had to meet certain technological requirements in order to avoid falsification of the banknote. The Lithuanian emigrant Kestutis Linikas (an expert on the production of currency from Australia) was very useful person from this point of view. He was invited to consult with the designers of banknotes. K.Linikas gave the first lessons in the issue of currency, security functions. He insisted that the portraits be drawn as large as possible and not located in the center of the banknote (when folding the bill in half, its security functions are erased faster), but on its sides. He also suggested keeping the light tones in the drawings (which makes it more difficult for counterfeiters to do their work), to abandon unnecessary ornaments. It was K. Linikas who drew the attention of banknote designers to the fact that no woman was included in the list of persons selected for the image.
He said that the issue of banknotes with portraits of only men would cause outrage of the world feminist movement and, therefore, a portrait of at least one well-known Lithuanian woman was needed. It was then that it was decided to portray the writer Zhemayte on a denomination of 1 litas. (Asta Ravaityte-Kuchinskene, Chief Specialist of the Bank of Lithuania Money Museum).
If you find my work useful I will be grateful for any help in supporting the site.

EVE ONLINE: THE SECOND GENESIS — The Reykjavik Grapevine
EVE ONLINE: THE SECOND GENESIS
Janne Makela
jEve Online is the game that Freelancer should have been. After five years in the making, and more missed deadlines than anyone cares to remember, Digital Anvil's space trader sim finally materialised a couple of months ago, and while Freelancer is a passable if brief single player experience,it failed to deliver what the developers promised, and what got us so excited about the game in the first place: a MMORPG (that's Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) version of the ruling champion of space sims: Elite. To this day, twenty years after its original release, the Braben-Bell classic remains the game that all space combat/exploration/mining/trade sims are measured against.
Now that Eve Online: The Second Genesis is here and X2: The Threat is just around the corner, we can expect Freelancer to sink like a stone. It just may be that Iceland's CCP have succeeded in creating the Holy Grail of space games, the challenge that proved too much for Digital Anvil:a functional online equivalent of Elite, where each character the player encounters is an actual,human player. There is no single player option – the game is played in a living and constantly changing online universe.
There are no less than 5,000 solar systems that the player can explore and exploit at will, and any ship that the player comes across will be piloted by another player. It is here that we come to the most controversial thing about Eve: you cannot avoid player vs. player conflicts. Unlike most recent MMORPGs, some of which do not feature PvP at all, Eve does not give the player the option of sticking to "safe" areas (or, in this case, safe systems) or any other forms of protection from player killers. Eve operates on the same principle as the game that began the online-RPG revolution, Ultima Online: other players can and will attack you, and if you lose and die, it's all over and you have to start again from scratch.
Hrafnkell Oskarsson, Eve's storyline editor, explains that the team did not even attempt to appeal to gamers that are put off by PvP. "Eve is not for everyone – it is more competitive and ruthless than other MMORPGs." Of course, this means an open season on newbies, who will be prayed upon mercilessly by more experienced players.
At its core, Eve is a traditional role playing game, where the objective is to acquire wealth and better equipment and to improve your skills. But unlike previous RPGs where new skills were gained through battle and adventure, Eve takes the easy, 21st Century approach and promises immediate gratification to anyone with the cash: the necessary skills are simply "installed" in your brain. All technological improvements are researched automatically – you simply click on the appropriate icon and wait. You don't even have to be online during the research. Eve's technology tree is not a tree, it's a forest. Still, it is so well designed that tackling it will seem like a satisfying challenge rather than an overwhelming chore.
Visually, Eve is stunning. The environments are vast but still astonishingly detailed. The spaceships of the four different available races all have their own distinctive styles – nothing fancy or terribly original, but definitely very well done down to the last details. This is quite important, since it's the ship itself, rather than the character the player creates at the start, that the player will be looking at most of the time.
One thing that Eve has is common with Freelancer is the mouse-keyboard interface, with no joystick support. The ship's piloted from a third-person view from outside the ship, and while the controls are not perfect, they are definitely above average for this particular genre.
As always with this type of game, it is still too early to predict how Eve will develop, but that is just the beauty of it: it is the players themselves who determine how the game universe develops. Like all MMORPGs, Eve has had its share of bugs, server problems and inconsistencies – but they are nowhere as severe as the horrible problems that still continue to plague, for example, Asheron's Call 2. If you can get past the game's extremely steep learning curve and don't mind having to survive in its ruthless, dog-eat-dog world, then Eve Online:
The Second Genesis is as good an online multiplayer as they come. Eve is just a few months into its undoubtedly very long lifespan, but we wouldn't be surprised if at the end of it Eve were considered a true classic for SF games. A very impressive first game for Crowd Control.
An ADSL-connection strongly recommended
In addition to the price of the game, players are also charged a monthly fee.

Q: JavaScript - How to surround block tags with span tag? I want to surround a bunch of block tags (p, div) with my own span tag based on the selection of the user and I am wondering how to do it? I've looked into range.insertNode() and range.surroundNode() functions, but there's no way to pass it multiple nodes to surround.
My current implementation looks like this:
var selection = window.getSelection();

var range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
var $startSpan = $("");

range.insertNode($startSpan[0]);
range.surroundContents($startSpan[0]);

This works if the selection only contains one node (i.e. the user only selects part of a paragraph), but breaks if the user's selection traverses through multiple P's or Divs (among other tags, I'm sure).
As an example, consider the following DOM structure:

Hello there Mary

Hello there Jake

I would like to end up with something like the following if the user select parts from both paragraphs (Assume the user selects "there Mary Hello there"):

Hello there Mary

Hello there Jake

A: This can be a difficult problem because the range can encompass many different nodes at different levels in the DOM. (For instance, what if the user selects the last word of one paragraph and the first word of the next paragraph?) So you can't really think of inserting just one span. You might have to insert multiple ones.
One way I've solved this in the past is to issue a command to apply a fake font to the selection. Then I go through the DOM of the container looking for  and I replace each one with my span tag. That tends to work well.

A: You need to find all the text nodes within the selection range and surround each individually. I have written a library that does this: Rangy, specifically the CSS class applier module.

The brilliance beneath her monster
By Brett Williamson
Rudy Simone once believed that people thought she was a monster, but has since discovered and now teaches others why it is great to be an Aspie.
In Adelaide for an Autism SA workshop on Asperger's in relationships and employment, Rudy's involvement in the study of Asperger's Syndrome and, as she prefers to call it, the Autism Spectrum Condition (instead of Disorder) began about five years ago.
Rudy's discovery began when she was researching the habits of her partner at the time who had been misdiagnosed with ADHD.
After finishing her research, she wrote her first book 22 things a woman must know if she loves a man with Asperger's.
"I wrote it in about three days," she reveals with a laugh.
"I had a lot to get off my chest."
The book was instantly picked up, became a best seller and is being translated into several languages.
Whilst researching her second book, Asperger's on the job, Rudy began to see parallels between the responses her interviewees were providing and her own life.
To her frustration, every time she called a specialist to seek diagnoses, Rudy was told they only diagnose children by using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
"And they would say we particularly don't diagnose women, because women don't appear on the spectrum."
When researching her third book, Aspergirls, Rudy interviewed diagnosed women from around the world, and again found the personality traits the women described were a reflection of her own life.
She developed a 'table of traits', which is now used to diagnose female patients.
"I self-diagnosed and then had it made official by having the acceptance of my peers.
"The same traits show up in us, they are just perceived slightly differently."
Women, Rudy explained, are also better mimics, and therefore able to mask the traits of the condition.
As a part of a person with Autism's reaction to social events, the amygdala is stimulated and the person receives a boost of adrenalin.
"When you trigger adrenalin you either have fight, flight or freeze."
Due to different reactions in boys and girls to the boost, it became difficult to separate and diagnose the two differing responses.
Most clinical research had also focussed on male subjects.
Broken bones, broken hearts and the final diagnosis
Over the years Rudy has gone through hell.
One part of the Autism Spectrum is the limited ability to interpret social cues.
A naturally attractive woman, Rudy has found herself the focus of much unwanted attention.
"People on the spectrum are both innocent and smart, and that's a bad combination, because it draws attention to us.
"Because we are blunt sometimes we say the wrong thing, upset the wrong person, and so the bully is always going to find us."
Rudy has been called a bitch more times than she would care to remember.
Reactions have even resulted in a few broken bones.
"Getting a diagnosis was such a relief," she explained.
"I'm not a bad person; I'm not like a Frankenstein."
There were days were Rudy explained that she felt like "the monster that was being chased by angry villagers with torches and pitchforks".
Rudy found isolation as a result of one of the classic traits of Asperger's, when a person is interested in only their special interests and not in general chatter.
A trait that was often interpreted by others as being rude.
"For us it is honesty and bluntness.
"They are not doing it to be mean, they are just doing it because it is the truth."
Yet the truth did not set Rudy free.
Her diagnosis did.
"My whole life I have had people that have throw sentences and proclamations at me that stuck in me like arrows.
Rudy said that prior to her diagnosis, her life was very difficult.
She describes a list of hardships including being arrested, living in a homeless shelter, failed suicide attempts, being mis-medicated and going 'cuckoo' and a string of failed relationships.
"I've had bones broken; I've had all sorts of horrible things happen to me."
The diagnosis brought answers.
Answers that she wished to share with others on the spectrum, and those living with them, to help them avoid the situations she had lived through.
The gifts of Asperger's
Those with Asperger's Syndrome are also gifted with above average I.Q.
Unlike a 'nuerotypical' brain, the condition manages to unlock specific areas of the brain, with those on the spectrum often having higher fluid intelligence, enabling them to quickly solve unique problems, think abstractly and many also have incredible recollection on their favoured interests.
"People on the spectrum are the people that innovate."
They are also extremely focussed on their chosen interests.
For Rudy, once diagnosed, she felt free to pursue her interests.
In the five-or-so years since her diagnosis she has published four books, written two more, become a professional jazz singer and comedienne.
She also lectures parents of and people on the spectrum about the positive traits of the condition.
As part of her lectures, writing and presentation, she is also hoping to spread the acceptance and knowledge of the traits to employers.
"People on the spectrum are better workers; just don't bully us."
The traits of intense focus, strong problem solvers, logical thinking and conscientiousness are prized by most employers, yet often overlooked if they believe the person cannot integrate socially.
Rudy said for employers to benefit from those on the spectrum, the rules are quite simple.
"They need to give clear instructions, then they need to not micromanage us because we will do it."
She explained that those on the spectrum do not like to be scrutinised or overseen, and work efficiently unmonitored.
"Tell us what you want and when you want it by."
She believes employers can place too much emphasis on conformity and being a 'team player'.
"If you are an accountant, why do you have to be a team player?
"You have to be friends with zero through nine."
A lasting thought
There are two things Rudy hopes people leave her lectures with.
"Hope and pride."
A hope that people realise that they can live a very fulfilling life whilst being on the Autism Spectrum, and a pride in what advantages the condition offers.
"I don't like the word disability.
"I think it should be stricken from the English language," Rudy said.
"I don't consider Autism as a disability; it's a dif-ability.
"Different neurology, different neurological processing, and in some cases superior."
And by educating people about the differences, Rudy hopes they can recognise the positives of the condition before the negatives and, as she did, uncover the brilliance beneath her monster.

Apostle Joseph F. Smith performs proxy sealing of Scotland's Queen Maude (or Matilda. b. 1104) as eternal wife to martyred prophet Joseph Smith. Similar ordinances are performed by Apostle Wilford Woodruff on Sept 5, for eight political heroines or female rulers including Charlotte Corday (who murdered the radical Marat during the French Revolution) and Empress Josephine (wife of Napoleon). On Sept. 15 second counselor Daniel H. Wells seals two Catholic saints as wives to founding Mormon prophet: Saint Helena (mother of Roman emperor Constantine) and Saint Theresa (b. 1515 in Spain). These are first women of international prominence sealed as wives to Joseph Smith, but during fifty years after his death hundreds of deceased women are similarly joined to him, even though many had husbands during their lifetimes.

Joseph Smith receives a revelation instructing missionaries to curse those who will not listen to them: "And in whatsoever place ye shall enter, and they receive you not, in my name, ye shall leave a cursing instead of a blessing, by casting off the dust of your feet against them as a testimony, and cleansing your feet by the wayside" (2)
[David O McKay] At 3 p.m. Pres. Smith, Pres. Clark, and I met with Ernest L. Wilkinson on the proposition of his being appointed president of the Brigham Young Univ. There is no doubt but that Ernest Wilkinson has the right viewpoint of the mission of the Brigham Young University, especially with regard to its mission and the preaching of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He senses clearly the fact that every department in the school should, as he stated, "be impregnated" with the spirit of the gospel, and that the teachings of the principles of the gospel should not be confined to a Theological Department with other departments feeling that they are estranged therefor. Brother Wilkinson is a clear thinker; he makes no pretense to having had any experience in school management; he possesses outstanding ability, which I believe he can direct towards a good organization. On the whole I was favorably impressed with him and earnestly hope and pray that he will succeed. (3)

Brigham Young preaches: "Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon? When we view its face we may see what is termed 'the man in the moon,' and what some philosophers declare are the shadows of mountains. But these sayings are very vague, and amount to nothing; and when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fellows. So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets." (1)

[Polygamy] Mormons respond to statehood bid
The Mormon people were not publicly notified that they should accept this latest constitution, but they were privately given to understand that they could vote for its ratification without compromising their religious principles. In response to inquiries from his family, Apostle Erastus Snow, then in Mexico where settlements were being established as cities of refuge for polygamists, wrote: Yes, I accept the self imposed conditions of Statehood. We can live under the prohibition clauses, same as we can in Mexico. Our celestial or spiritual unions will be purely religious and not civil contracts under State or national laws--and the Constitution has no cohabitation clause, and any who, living in the State of Utah, desire to marry other wives can bring them for me to marry in Mexico cheaper than to pay the fine imposed by the new Constitution. Please convey to E. G. W. and R. C. L. my congratulations on the happy wording of the prohibition and I hope all my Sons will vote f
or the
Constitution. And I shall be happy to minister to Gordon and Robert when they get ready to come over here with their sweethearts. (Letter from Erastus Snow to his wife, Elizabeth. Edwin Gordon Woolley and Robert C. Lund, convention delegates from Washington County. Ivins, p. 99) (3)

Cluff, President of Brigham Young Academy (later BYU) left the main body of the "Expedition" at Thatcher, Arizona while he took a plural wife in Mexico. The Expedition's stated purpose was to gather evidence of the Book of Mormon in South America. (3)

In another devastating blow to Mormon independence, on July 15, the anti-Mormon party wins the Salt Lake City school elections. This was part of a string of disasters. On July 1, the US Senate introduced a bill to ban Mormons from homesteading in Wyoming.

In a short season we shall be rewarded for all that we do to civilize this lost and fallen race. The little boy will soon be quite bright, his mind is becoming clear and perceptive, and if he sees a horse, a man, or any other object, he will always remember them. True, he yet has some of his Indian traits, and I presume it will be some time before they are all, erased from his memory." (1)

[David O McKay] President Smith, in conversation regarding the B.Y.U. Presidency, expressed himself as looking with disfavor upon the appointment of Ernest Wilkinson as President of the Brigham Young University if Wilkinson's suit with the government is not yet consummated.
July 25, 1950: At 3 p.m. Pres. Smith, Pres. Clark, and I met with Ernest L. Wilkinson on the proposition of his being appointed president of the Brigham Young Univ. There is no doubt but that Ernest Wilkinson has the right viewpoint of the mission of the Brigham Young University, especially with regard to its mission and the preaching of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He senses clearly the fact that every department in the school should, as he stated, "be impregnated" with the spirit of the gospel, and that the teachings of the principles of the gospel should not be confined to a Theological Department with other departments feeling that they are estranged therefor. Brother Wilkinson is a clear thinker; he makes no pretense to having had any experience in school management; he possesses outstanding ability, which I believe he can direct towards a good organization. On the whole I was favorably impressed with him and earnestly hope and pray that he will succeed. (

Brigham Young preaches, "Children are now born who will live until every son of Adam will have the privledge of receiving the principles of eternal life." He also preaches, "The birth of our Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action." Traditional Christians are infuriated by this rejection (dating to Jul 24, 1858) of the Virgin Birth and Young's assertion that God has body capable of sexual intercourse. Repeated publications of such assaults on Christian orthodoxy leads to near hysteria in Protestant rhetoric against Mormons. (1)

Korea finished third in the Asia Volleyball Championship in 2007, 2009 and 2011 and 11th at the 2007 World Cup. In the World League, Korea placed 10th in 2006, ninth in 2007, 13th in 2008, 14th in 2009 and 16th in 2010. The side showed much more promise in 2011 however, beating Cuba for the first time since 1984 and registering two wins over France, eventually finishing 13th. The side believe they gained valuable experience and were able to learn their weak points. This year's team has a balance of veteran and rookie players as they look to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Park Ki-Won was appointed coach of Korea in 2011. He played for Korea from 1972-1978, helping them to a fourth-place finish at the 1978 World Championship and gold at the 1978 Asian Games. After retiring as a player, Park spent nearly 20 years as a coach in Italy. He led Perugia Sirio to the women's championship in 1987 and Forli Volley to the men's second league title in 1990. In 2002, he coached the Iran men's team to silver at the Asian Games. In 2003, the team beat Japan for the first time in its history and finished third at the Asian Championship in China. In 2007, he returned to Korea and became coach of LIG Insurance men's volleyball team.

A Royal Navy patrol ship has issued a record on-the-spot fine to fishermen using undersized nets after sailors boarded a Dutch fishing vessel in the North Sea. HMS Mersey, one of the Royal Navy's three fishery protection vessels, was on routine duties when she spotted the FV Elizabeth sailing 40 nautical miles off the Norfolk coast.
The Commanding Officer decided to send over a boarding team, led by Marine Enforcement Officer Midshipman Phill Fordham, to carry out a full inspection.
On the vessel, the team found that the two cod-ends (the section of the net that catches and holds the fish) were significantly undersized, meaning that young fish and vulnerable species were unable to escape as the nets were dragged through the water.
On reporting the infringement to the Marine Management Organisation, HMS Mersey issued the trawler's captain with an £8,000 financial administration penalty.
HMS Mersey is one of three ships that form the Royal Navy's Fishery Protection Squadron, the oldest of the Royal Navy's squadrons. The ships patrol UK and EU waters inspecting fishing vessels at sea and enforcing fisheries regulations on behalf of the Marine Management Organisation, a government agency.
poor fido, caught again .
It is very impressive how the Royal Navy is using the money of the tax payer. It that what are doing with 1 Billion dollars equipment ? Really???

Museum and IranWire.com Launch Sardari Project, Bringing Holocaust History to Iranian Audiences

Project Named In Honor of Iranian Diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari
Who Worked to Save Iranian and Non-Iranian Jews In Occupied Paris
WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and IranWire.com launched The Sardari Project: Iran and the Holocaust to distribute articles and videos about the Holocaust, including Iran's largely unknown role as a haven for between five and six thousand Jews fleeing Nazi-occupied territories. The initiative will also spotlight the dangers of rising antisemitism and other forms of hatred and showcase Iranians who are working today to combat these trends. The series will feature 13 articles and nine videos and be available in both Persian and English. The content will be released through IranWire.com's Facebook and Twitter channels, and be available on SardariProject.com.
"Education is a critical step in countering the Iranian government's Holocaust denial, antisemitic rhetoric, and suppression of information," says Tad Stahnke, William and Sheila Konar director of international educational outreach in the Levine Institute for Holocaust Education at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. "Through this project, Holocaust history will be in front of the eyes and ears of Iranian audiences, who are exposed to relentless propaganda from the regime. For many, it will be the first time they will have had access to accurate and relevant information on the subject for themselves and to share with others."
Stories will examine:
Holocaust history and the origins of Holocaust denial;
The origins and dangers of antisemitic conspiracy theories and propaganda in Iran and elsewhere;
Profiles of Iranians living in the diaspora fighting antisemitism and hate today;
Articles and documentaries about Dr. Mohamed Helmy and Derviš Korkut, two Muslim heroes living in Germany and Bosnia who saved Jews during the Holocaust.
"Iranians, especially young Iranians, yearn to understand the truth of the Holocaust," says Maziar Bahari, IranWire.com founder. "Iran has a connection to this history almost unknown to Iranians. We named the project after Abdol Hossein Sardari, an Iranian diplomat based in Paris who worked to save many Iranian and non-Iranian Jews after Germany occupied the country. But unfortunately, this image of Iran has been tarnished by Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei who regularly denies the Holocaust. The stories we feature will show aspects of Holocaust history and related topics that many Iranians have never had the opportunity to study. These articles and videos are not simple translations from other languages. We produced them with Iranian audiences in mind."
A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires people to confront hate, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors nationwide. For more information, visit ushmm.org.
