June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month
Do you know the signs of Elder Abuse?
June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month. Coincidentally, THIS June, the United States is also slowly reopening amid a global pandemic that has targeted the elderly population in every direction. The elderly and immunocompromised are uniquely vulnerable to COVID19. As a result of this vulnerability, this population has also suffered consequences from isolation from family, friends and community. The current COVID19 crisis has seen an increase in domestic violence across the United States. Experts believe this will also be the case with Elder Abuse, especially as Elders are increasingly isolated from their support systems.
Statistics show that in normal times, 1 in 10 Americans age 60+ have experienced abuse. Elder abuse is "the harming of an older person" and can include "neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse or sexual abuse."
Do you know the signs of Elder Abuse? Look for:
Unexplained financial transactions or loss
Unexplained bruises, cuts or injuries
Withdrawal from family, community or hobbies
Verbal abuse by "support system"
Threats to Elder
Changes in mood or behavior
Rapid, often unexplained, decline in health
Sudden confusion, depression, anxiety or other alarming changes in mental health
Neglecting care needs like hygiene or appearance
Hesitation to speak openly
Secretive behaviors
Unusual reliance on another(s) for answers to questions or decision making
Pay attention to new people in the Elder's life, or people who have taken an exceptionally intimate NEW interest in the Elder's life.
As an attorney who specializes in Elder Law, I've seen Elder Abuse in all forms. The cases have typically fallen into one of two common denominators: 1) lack of consistently involved support system; or 2) exploitation by the support system. It is SO important to check in on your elders, watch for the signs and not be afraid to speak up if you suspect something amiss.
What resources are available to those who suspect Elder Abuse?
In an emergency ALWAYS call 9-1-1.
Suspected Elder Abuse In the COMMUNITY: NJ charges the County Offices of Adult Protective Services with following up on all suspected cases of Elder Abuse or neglect. You can find the information for YOUR County Office here: https://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/doas/home/adultpsp.html
Suspected Elder Abuse in a LONG TERM CARE FACILITY: The Ombudsman's office is responsible for investigating suspected Elder Abuse in long-term care facilities. Reports can be made to the following hotlines:
In-state line, Call: 1-877-582-6995 for help.
Out-of-(NJ) State line, Call: 609-943-4023 for help.
Most police departments have resources dedicated to investigating allegations of Elder Abuse and cooperating with the Prosecutor's Office for anything that rises to criminal behavior.
Most financial institutions have Elder Abuse or Fraud units that can review accounts for financial impropriety, freeze financial assets pending evaluation and take other measures to prevent or mitigate financial abuse.
Hire an Elder Law attorney to help you navigate the muddied waters. Elder Law attorneys can help you:
advocate for the Elder in connection with Adult Protective Services, Ombudsman, Police Department, Prosecutor's Office;
ensure that the investigation remains on track and all legal options are explored;
assess and assist in implementing actions to improve the Elder's living situation;
evaluate and pursue legal remedies for the Elder, like monetary reimbursement, removal of an individual as an agent and appointment of a qualified and trustworthy individual as an attorney-in-fact, healthcare proxy, guardian, conservator, etc.
Hire a Care Manager to assist in monitoring the Elder's well-being. Care Managers are underused and INVALUABLE tools to families, especially when families are busy and/or far away from the Elder. Care Managers act as advocates, consultants, friends and extra (TRAINED) set of eyes and ears to help monitor and evaluate all aspects of the Elder's life.
-know the signs of Elder Abuse and look for them regularly
-check in on your family, friends and neighbors
-if you see something, SAY SOMETHING.
-educate your loved ones and set up systems NOW to thwart opportunities for abuse

Amit's replacement, panting and dripping with sweat, flapped towards them with an ungainly gait. Four pairs of arms slid the carrier to the ground and, with machine-like precision, started sorting. Until the tiffins were further sorted according to final destination, none of the carriers could be loaded on the train. People were already climbing aboard, blocking the entrance.
"Jaldi," said Vinayak, urging them on. His team members' hands were blurs as they obeyed him. The metal tiffin cases clanged against each other, adding to the cacophony.
Within seconds the sorting was done. The sound of the horn pierced the air again and the train started moving. Four dabbawallas ran alongside and slid their carriers into separate compartments, onto the toes of commuters who crowded the open doors. A volley of yells and curses fell on deaf ears as the men jumped in. The train clattered over the steel tracks, settling into its familiar staccato rhythm.
Already exhausted from the sprint to the station, Amit's replacement was the last to get on. He slid the heavy carrier into a compartment. Something blocked its way and half the carrier still hung out. The train gathered speed. He jogged alongside, trying to shove the carrier inside.
"Get in and pull, you moron!" Vinayak yelled out to the dabbawalla's receding back. The crowds moved in and Vinayak lost sight of him.
The compartment had almost reached the edge of the platform when the dabbawalla managed to jump on board. He pushed the passengers aside and dragged the carrier in just as they passed a telephone pole. A corner of the carrier slammed against the pole with a resounding crack.
A tiffin at the very end leaped into the air, somersaulted towards the glistening steel tracks, and rolled to a standstill on a wooden sleeper.

I must face it: i cannot resist the material world around me. I am a social being and therefor prone to social behaviour. Where do i find the strength to face the hostile opinions of my direct surroundings? How do i explain to friends, that i am not going to join them for a pub without losing them? Everybody keeps pushing me into things i do not wish for. My parents wish me to get married or to at least get materially succesful (and my assets will ensure a marriage, etc). Nobody understands my reality and meanwhile, I am still far from understanding the reality of Krishna.
I need some close association with good people in my surroundings, but they do not seem to be there.
By the way, I live in the north of the Netherlands. But I cannot afford to travel to places like Amsterdam or Radadesh frequently. And the way things are going, things do not seem to be on the up, because I am becoming more isolated every year. This fact needs some compensation, but I can't seem to see the way out.
It is not, that I am in a pathetic situation, but I would really appreciate some people that I can stick together with, to gain the strength for better service.
Hare Krishna, I have been trying to serve Shrila Prabhupada, since 1971 when I was initiated by Him in portland, oregon, usa. I can really feel for your situation. I am a male devotee. I simply try to enlighten souls and inspire them, through the Krishna conscious poetry I write. I am not very advanced and so I am not trying to pose myself as such. I live alone in the forest of Talavana, near new vrindavana in west virginia. Anyhow, I just want to be able to share this blessing I have to write poetry, it has inspired some souls, so I coninue, so I also like to make as many devotee friends as I can online. I live by a very nice devotee named Pavana and his family and we visit the new vrindavana temple every sunday. I mainly just try to point souls to Prabhupada as our eternally living Guru, through his books, annd he said himself , souls are initiated by him, simply who read his books, And I just know, He is the real thing, who will never let us down, and we can always feel Him near us, by our sincereity to follow Him!!!! ll glories o Shrila Prabhupada. Please feel free to ask any questions.
reading back my own message, it seems that i am pathetically rolling around in my own selfpity. it pleases me, that you didn't read it that way, as this tone was unintentional.
maybe your way of life was your solution to my problem at the time you had the same.
it is very kind of you to remind me of the readings of Prabupada, a lot of his books are on the shelf over here. they can indeed be a blessing in keeping a person from straying. amazing thing, that one person could publish all that. it will probably take me a lifetime to understand his readings.
maybe you will be so kind as to answer a question that has come to my mind recently: i think we consider all religions equal, that is, if a muslim is pious and listening to a good teacher of his scriptures, then he will advance. but i cannot help noticing, that most religions that elevate their profets (christianity, islam) to deity, in due time become hostile towards others. once Jesus is your new demigod, you will start preaching to others, serving the same god, but a different profet / demigod. If preaching won't work, then a crusade probably will. and the new age of crusades has certainly started recently.
i have never experienced any disrespect in this direction from hare-krishna preachers, but i wonder whether it is a wise thing to elevate Prabupada to the level of a demigod. and i fear this will happen once his desciples have left this world. has Prabupada ever said anything about this risk? or did he simply not see it coming?
you cannot simply answer, that the hare-krishna movement will always stay the same, as history has already proven you wrong. for instance, the gurukula (is that school? don't remember the word exactly) system has already been changed. and a lot of more subtle changes could be added, if you wish.
It is most essential for us to understand from the very beginning of your spiritual life that great servants of God or Krishna, are to be worshiped as good as Krishna, the unlimited Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They are decared to be much more than demigods. THe bonafide spiritual master is declared in the scripture to be the sum total of all the demigods, and there are 30 million demigods. The bonafide spiritual master, Lord Krishna loudly proclaims must never be considered common man, indeed He is as good as Myvery self, And I the Supreme Lord can not even be approached with out the mercy of My Servant. In fact, I will excuse offences to Myself, but I shall never tolerate offences to My Servants. The only one who can excuse the offence to My Servant, is My Servant Himself!!!!!! It is also most essential to get all our Knowledge from a bonafide Spiritual master, because He alone in this world, will not cheat us. Arian means one who is a perfect follower of vedic culture or moral behavior. In this age they are practically impossible to find, but in other ages they were more prevailant, because the ages were not so degraded as this one. It is always essential to back up our statements by Krishna or His pure representative , Who is worshipable as His very self, or our knowledge is sure to have defect. So please expain where you are getting your knowledge. Krishna's devotees fully accept, with out doubting that the Golden Age of Lord Chaintanya started 500 years ago and shall become stronger and stronger for the next ten thousand years. Currently this movement is still so young we hae many great hurdles to overcome, because of the very great impurities in our hearts. Therefor all our personal perceptions of things are extremely imperfect and clouded by so many kinds of illusions and material motivations and emotions. I t is really most important that we just remain silent, until we become very very much learned in Krishna's and His Servants words. There most unfortunately so much misunderstanding right now about anything, because this age and our past life times of nonsense activities have dulled our minds so much and we have become addicted to just polluting our intelligence by anything that is not Krishna conscious or pure devotion to God. Until we are actually seeing and hearing Krishna, it is of absolute importance that we do not take seriously at all our own personal opinions on a subject matter that is way way beyond of mundane mind. WE need so much to absorb ourselves in chanting Krishna's Names, especially with other devotees in the streets. It is truly the nectar we are always hankering for, and if we are not attracted to this, we are extremely foolish. Prabhupada said we must become mad for Krishna, or we will be mad for maya or illusion. So as long as we are mad after illusion, how can we really be sharp in our intelligence about anything, what to speak of Krishna and His pure Servants?!!!!!!! So much is wrong, so much abominable misfortune must take place, because we must suffer the results of our foolish activities, at the same time it is certain, we must continue our chanting under all circumstances and reading Prabhupada's books the unchanged one's is of paramount importance. But most unfortunately because we are so imature in spiritual life, we have so little attraction for these things and yet we like to so boldly make doubting statements about the most doubtless and glorious pathh of Sanatana Dharma and Krishna consciousness. This is our extremely great misfortune if this is our state of mind, still, what ever condition, if we stick to the Holy Name of the Lord, we shall surely be purified of all this and utter faith in this, is the most important ingredient for advancing in Krishna consciousness, so we may know who is worshipable and who is not, with out purity of heart, we can not understand that is our cross we must bare until some how or other, we get Prabhupada's mercy on our heads, than our path becomes easy and blissful, free from all ignorance!!!!!!!!Prabhupada is the most recent pure archarya or perfect example of living life that has been in america's vision and his books and every thing he said, is all we should want to know. With that desire, perfection shall be ours... Hare Krishna!!!!!!!!
I would like to know more about Krishna.
Commonly known and described in Plays and stories.
I am not intrested in those stories.
Somewhere 5000 years back Krishna is the one who Transformed the entire society,Their beleif,Their way of Thinking,Their way of Life and Way of worship too alongwith so many other aspects.And demonstrated a real life how to deal with right from childhood untill the last breath.
Do we have any scholar who has really studied all those aspects and did some research So that I can talk and learn and prepare myself to implement those principles.
I am a student please do not misunderstood me.
I am only intrested in Krishna's Life not anything else please.
Can someone avail me informations on the Book "HARIVANSHA"
I care for the spam equally as you.
REALLY NEED SOME GOOD ASSOCIATION!!!
I've learnt to embrace the challenges of city life and work where my help is needed most....in the poorer suburbs........the bronx if U like.
The key, I have found is to be Oneself rather than pretending to be something we are not. Warts and all...front and centre charging through life with knowledge and conviction. Work, work, work..nothing but work 'till the day I pass on from this body.
We all need good association, but let's not forget others around us or we will end up disassociated from reality.

Eurofighter Typhoon is a combat flight simulator published by Rage Software in 2001. The game models the jet fighter Eurofighter Typhoon. Digital Image Design was in process of developing the game as successor to F-22 Total Air War when the company was bought by Rage Software. An extended version of the game with an additional campaign, Eurofighter Typhoon: Operation Icebreaker, was released in 2002.

Gameplay
The story of the game posits Russia quickly invading the eastern countries of Europe. Iceland is the next one on the list, as NATO has abandoned the country in an attempt to protect the Western countries of Europe. The ICEFOR is outnumbered, but is able to deploy a small number of the new Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to turn the tide of the war. The game also features a very extensive virtual battleground over Iceland, some of the most advanced created at the time. A dynamic camera enables watch the war in real-time. As the war unfolds, news will be delivered by an online newspaper.

The game allows the player to take over the destiny of six pilots. Each one will be assigned different missions depending on their abilities such as bombing, interception, Wild Weasel, with several of these missions even going on at the same time. The player can switch at any time between pilots, taking charge of the most critical and dangerous tasks of the mission, and leaving up to the AI the others. As the war goes on, each pilot can be injured, lost behind enemy lines after an unlucky ejection and waiting for the rescue helicopters, or taken prisoner and even be interrogated by the Russians.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Kevin Rice of NextGen said of the game, "An incredible sense of speed combined with an intuitive interface makes for an addictive flight sim."

Implementation of the European Pharmacopoeia Supplement 10.5 – Notification for CEP holders
Certification of suitability (CEP)
Procedure of certification (general)
Supplement 10.5 of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur) is now available. CEP holders are invited to update their applications according to the revised monographs that will be implemented on 1 July 2021, and to follow the instructions given below.
The table at the end of this announcement provides a list of substances covered by a Certificate of Suitability to the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (CEP) and for which a revised monograph will be implemented on 1 July 2021 in Supplement 10.5 of the Ph. Eur.
According to Directives 2001/83/EC and 2001/82/EC, as amended, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to comply with the current version of a Ph. Eur. monograph, and therefore to update the specification when a revised monograph is issued. In addition, the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and HealthCare (EDQM) ensures that CEPs refer to the most recent version of a Ph. Eur. monograph at any time.
The need to submit information to the EDQM following a revised monograph depends on the changes made to the monograph. Updates to the monographs are classified by the EDQM into two categories, labelled "Case A" and "Case B", and this influences the information required. In the list of revised monographs below, it is indicated which classification ("Case A" or "Case B") is applicable. In addition to this web announcement, the EDQM, as a courtesy, will contact CEP holders with details of how to proceed for the dossiers impacted by the revised monograph(s). However, it remains the responsibility of the CEP holder to comply with the requirements of the monograph and if necessary to update their respective applications by the implementation date of the revised monograph at the latest, regardless of whether they have been contacted by the EDQM.
The specification of the substance should be updated according to the revised monograph. Unless the CEP holder has made reference to the "current version of the monograph" (without providing details on the Ph. Eur. tests and methods in the CEP application), the updated specification should be included in the next request for revision that is submitted to the EDQM (minor, major or renewal of the certificate) and identified as such at that time (such an update will be free of charge). Where the CEP holder has made reference to the "current version of the monograph", the revised monograph should be implemented without the need to update the specification of the substance at the next request for revision.
Case B
This case concerns amendments to the monograph which require the submission of data to the EDQM.
An updated dossier demonstrating that the substance complies with the requirements of the revised monograph should be provided within three months of the EDQM contacting the CEP holder. The company is asked to provide a Module 1 briefly discussing the changes made to the application. This module should also include a clarification on whether all related substances are controlled using only the method described in the revised monograph and whether the substance contains any impurities which are not described in the revised monograph (and which are found above the reporting threshold of the Ph. Eur. general monograph 2034).
Module 3 should be updated to include, as necessary:
a comparison of the impurity profile of the substance with the updated transparency list of the monograph (3.2.S.3.2 "Impurities", 3.2.S.4.5 "Justification of Specifications");
a discussion on the suitability of the revised monograph to control any impurities which are not described in it;
an updated substance specification/test methods description (3.2.S.4.1 "Specifications", 3.2.S.4.2 "Analytical Procedures");
certificates of analysis of two batches with reference to the revised monograph (3.2.S.4.4 "Batch Analysis");
validation and cross-validation data when an in-house method is used as an alternative to a new test method in the monograph (3.2.S.4.3 "Validation of Analytical Procedures").
In the "Case B" scenario, CEP applications require an update and therefore any holder of a CEP for a substance in the "Case B" list below is expected to provide the requested information to the EDQM, even if no specific request for information was received (this may happen namely when information regarding a change of contact person has not been submitted to the EDQM in a timely manner).
If the requested information has already been presented in the approved dossier, a simple letter stating this is deemed sufficient.
Failure to update the CEP application and to provide data to the EDQM may challenge the validity of the concerned granted CEP, or delay the ongoing evaluation process of the concerned application.
Upon receipt, data will be reviewed within 3 months and the CEP holder will be informed of the outcome of the evaluation. The assessment may also result in a revised CEP being granted.
This procedure is free of charge, unless the holder submits, at the same time, a request for other changes.

This is your best work to date and that song, that song is a masterpiece.

I see you are a student of precipitation.
wow. I like what I find here.
Yes, very Kipling-esque, and the song lyrics were the second best part.
Here's the best: "The train has to go faster so you can get somewhere quicker and have more time to do whatever it is that you need to get done in order that all the things I just mentioned can increase at every level. Meanwhile nobody gets hurt do they?"
It's the irony that the innocent, child-like question can never be answered favorably in truth, and thus hangs like a sword.
Bush and the cabal parade around with no clothes. But they won't need any when the child finally asks that question in the presense of folks that know something about tar and feathers.

Use of the term has served to confuse classification and obscure interpretation of epidemiological and clinical studies
From the writings of Freud onwards there is broad agreement on the definition of cerebral palsy (CP) but attempts to classify it, based on brain pathology, timing of postulated insult, aetiology, or clinical syndrome, taking account of one or more of neurological findings, distribution, and associated impairments, have been less successful.
Any syndrome must be clearly defined, meaningful, reliable, and used consistently by different people. A few CP syndromes such as choreoathetosis with deafness caused by bilirubin encephalopathy and ataxia caused by hydrocephalus have stood the test of time and are reviewed by Ingram.1 However, we think that diplegia is not a description of a valid category or syndrome and use of the term has served to confuse classification and obscure interpretation of epidemiological and clinical studies. We draw on historical papers and our own new analyses of recent published epidemiological papers to argue that the term diplegia should be abandoned.
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF USE OF TERM DIPLEGIA
Table 1 summarises important classifications of the past 150 years which we shall discuss with respect to their use of the term diplegia.
Classifications of cerebral palsy
William Little2 first described the syndrome complex of cerebral palsy in 1862. His paper proposed a link between abnormal parturition, difficult labour, premature birth, asphyxia neonatorum, and physical deformities, which he described lucidly. He did not use the term diplegia.
In 1890, Sachs and Peterson proposed a classification which linked clinical syndrome to timing of the insult,3 and introduced diplegia and paraplegia as separate categories.
In 1893, Freud considered cerebral palsy to be caused not just at parturition but also sooner in pregnancy because of "deeper effects that influenced the development of the foetus".4 Freud was the first to use the term "cerebral diplegia", which covered all bilateral cerebral palsies, including non-spastic types.
Further classifications appeared in the 1950s.5,6 As table 1 shows, Minear's6 was more a descriptive grid than a classification, and for him diplegia was "paralysis affecting like parts on either side of the body".
In Ingram's classification of 1955,7,11 spastic diplegia was described "as a condition of more or less symmetrical paresis of cerebral origin more severe in the lower limbs than the upper and dating from birth or shortly thereafter". He qualified the disorder with an association with prematurity and lesser incidence of mental retardation, pseudobulbar palsy, and seizures compared to quadriplegics. He also described its clinical evolution through the stages of hypotonia, dystonia, and rigidity.12 Later in his 1966 review article "The neurology of cerebral palsy", he re-emphasised what he regarded as the unequivocal distinction between spastic diplegia and other bilateral cerebral palsies.13
In 1959 in England,8 The Little Club presented a definition and classification of cerebral palsy: "In diplegia there is affection of the muscles of all four limbs. The lower limbs are the more affected." The classification had an additional category "atonic diplegia", but the reasoning presented in the article for this category and other aspects of the classification are difficult to follow. By 1964 the problems were apparent, and an annotation14 recommended that description should be based on clinical features and that attempts to define certain syndromes combining clinical aetiological and pathological features should be avoided. In particular the idea of a diplegic syndrome should be avoided.
In their first epidemiological report in 1975, the Hagbergs9 used a classification with a definition of diplegia similar to Ingram's. Hypertonic cases were diplegic where the lower limbs were more affected than the upper ones. Cases were regarded as diplegic even when they exhibited severe generalised damage and "might have been classified as tetraplegia by other investigators". Their classification had an additional category of "ataxic diplegia" where the children had diplegia with ataxic traits, especially dysynergia and intention tremor in the upper limbs. However by 1989, Hagberg15 appreciated the limitations of his own classification—particularly the unsatisfactory nature of the dividing line between diplegia and quadriplegia and the fact that many children change categories as they grow older.
In 2000, the European Collaboration SCPE10 did not include diplegia in its classification because of the inherent ambiguities.
Not surprisingly, all this confusion is mirrored in the standard paediatric textbooks.
Forfar and Arniel16 regard diplegia as a clear entity in which the legs are more affected than the arms; the more affected the upper limbs, the lower is intelligence. It is linked to specific cerebral pathologies, which are themselves linked to premature delivery or asphyxia. In Nelson,17 diplegia is spasticity of just the legs, with good prognosis for intelligence and seizures. The lesions in the brain are similar in diplegia and quadriplegia, except for more extensive necrotic degeneration of white matter which coalesces into cystic cavities in quadriplegia. In Rudolph,18 diplegia requires the legs to have greater spasticity and weakness than the arms. The children are frequently preterm and the deficit is more apparent in wrist extensors and activities of daily living such as self feeding, drawing, or writing. Quadriplegia is determined by symmetric impairment of all four extremities; growth retardation, mental retardation, language disorders, and seizures are common. Avery19 describes spastic diplegia as restricted to bilateral spastic involvement of the lower extremities, often associated with normal cognitive function. Quadriplegia is spastic involvement of the extremities, often with orobuccal musculature rendering swallowing and talking difficult.
THE PRESENT SITUATION
The most recent International Classification of Diseases20 has a category "spastic diplegia" which it does not further define and another category "diplegia of upper limbs"! However the common ground in the papers we have just discussed appears to be that diplegia is a spastic form of cerebral palsy with lower limbs more affected than upper limbs.
It is however unclear whether presence or absence of prematurity, seizures, or mental retardation is relevant to the definition or just an association. For example, if a child has severe four limb involvement with upper limbs slightly less affected than lower limbs, does presence or absence of the above features such as mental retardation determine whether this is classified as diplegia or quadriplegia?
Even more importantly, what does "more affected" mean and should the comparison be based on clinical signs or function? If comparison is based on clinical signs, tone, tendon reflexes, and power may be easy to separate at the extremes but very difficult when similar. Signs also vary day to day and with the mood of the child. Further, there is a considerable inter- and intraobserver diagnostic variability in the assessment of clinical signs.21 Ashworth developed a scale, tested for reliability—but this validation was in adults and just for hemiplegia.22 If comparison is based on function, again this may be straightforward at the extremes but otherwise very difficult. For example, does "walking with difficulty and needing walking aids" mean legs are more or less affected than arms where the child "is not able to write tidily and needs assistance to go to the toilet"?
The North of England Collaborative Cerebral Palsy Survey23 found such confusion in the application of clinical signs and assessment of functional severity. A local audit of classification of cases of cerebral palsy revealed 98 with diplegia and 130 with quadriplegia. Of those with diplegia, 58 had moderate to severe functional involvement of upper limbs at age 5 but lower limb function was always the same or worse. Five of these children had severe mental retardation. Of those with quadriplegia, six had nil to mild involvement of the upper limbs, but these six had severe mental retardation, suggesting that the clinician used the presence of severe mental retardation to assign the cerebral palsy to the category quadriplegia.
The term diplegia continues to be used in studies which assume its meaning is understood and uniformly applied. For instance, it is claimed that diplegia is associated with and may be caused by premature birth.24 In this study, Powell et al even postulate the existence of a "diplegia factor" which tends to cause premature labour; and impair growth and development if the fetus remains in utero. Their study does not define diplegia and uses the clinical diagnoses from cases notes of children looked after by many paediatricians. In another more recent study, it is suggested that chorioamnionitis may be the cause of spastic diplegia in low birth weight infants—especially in babies with a normal neonatal ultrasound—but again diplegia is not defined.25
NEW ANALYSES OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES
We shall show that the confusion, which is clear from our review of papers describing the definitions and practical problems in making sense of them, is born out by our review and further analysis of recent epidemiological studies.
Table 2 shows the overall numbers of cases of cerebral palsy and percentages of different subtypes in studies reported from about 1980—which we take as the date by which neonatal intensive care had been introduced in the reporting regions. We have only included studies where all types and severities of cerebral palsy are reported, and where a whole population is reported either on the basis of birth cohort prevalence or population prevalence. It shows that spastic cases as a proportion of all cases average 85% (range 76–93%).
Proportions of cerebral palsy (CP) subtypes
Diplegic cases as a proportion of spastic cases average 33% (range 19–62%); whereas diplegic plus quadriplegic cases as a proportion of spastic cases average 62%, with a much smaller range of 51–77%. If one looks just at bilateral spastic cases, the proportion of diplegic cases varies from 28% to 84%—a more than threefold difference. Such a large difference is very unlikely to be a real one and is almost certainly a result of the way in which different centres interpret diplegia.
Table 3 shows data from the studies which report by birth weight. In those less than 2.5 kg, diplegic cases as a proportion of spastic cases average 37% (range 30–55%), only very slightly higher than the average of 33% in all birth weights; and for those less than 1.5 kg, the average is 35%. These findings argue against diplegia being especially associated with either low birth weight or very low birth weight.
Proportions of cerebral palsy subtypes in low birth weight babies
Semantically, the word "diplegia" must mean two limbed or two sided weakness. If two limbed, it is bizarre that often three or four limbs are involved. If two sided, it is preferable to use a term such as bilateral with no implication about number of limbs involved. This was Freud's original concept—simple but consistent and understandable.
There is no justification for separating diplegia and quadriplegia. While it is possible that the term diplegia as used by Ingram12 may have represented a distinct clinical syndrome before the introduction of neonatal intensive care, we are confident that it does not now. Our analysis of published epidemiological studies has shown that confusion about and inconsistent application of the term diplegia is embedded unknowingly in the studies. When diplegia and quadriplegia are treated separately, there are very unlikely differences between countries which largely disappear when treated together. Further, the supposed association of diplegia with low birth weight is not seen.
Recent advances in imaging support this position. In her magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of children with spastic cerebral palsy,43,44 Krageloh-Mann found that periventricular leucomalacia and parasaggital lesions were the commonest lesion in preterm infants and term infants. Very similar MRI appearances were responsible for quadriplegic, diplegic, and triplegic syndromes. Severity of motor involvement was related to severity of white matter reduction but the authors could find no justification for separating these syndromes and therefore used the phrase "bilateral spastic cerebral palsy".
In epidemiological studies, more will be gained from an agreed simple logical classification which is uniformly applied than from a complex one which may have internal inconsistencies, be inconsistently applied and influenced by clinical judgement. Our own preference is for that developed by the European Collaboration.10
In clinical studies, there may be a need to define more refined groups of children, but these should be described by their neurological and functional deficits, not by shorthand terms such as diplegia or terms such as "more" or "less affected", when like is not being compared with like. An Oxford group addressed this issue in the 1980s.45,46 Their systematic description would allow the detail necessary for evaluating the effects of different drugs, operations, or physical therapies. An alternative would be to build on the European classification.10 For example, the description:
"spastic, bilateral, neurological signs in four limbs, minimal functional involvement of upper limbs, all cognitive abilities"
would describe reliably a group of children if the term "minimal" was defined for the age group(s) of children being studied.
We are grateful to all members of Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) for discussions on this subject over four years.

SECRETSALES is a members-only ecommerce site offering deep discounts on brand-name merchandise across fashion, accessories, health, beauty and cosmetics, and housewares. The retailer works with more than 1500 brands and designers who recognize it as an effective vehicle for selling excess stock and creating an additional revenue. The company is growing at an astronomical rate, launching hundreds of sales every month—and each of those sales is live for only a few days. As a result, SECRETSALES issues a constant stream of campaigns announcing new sales, reminding members about expiring sales, and confirming orders and shipments. To make these communications targeted and relevant, they called on Selligent.
WE SEE THE SELLIGENT TEAM AS AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE EXTENSION OF OUR MARKETING TEAM. 2014 WAS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR SECRETSALES. COM; IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE HAVING ACHIEVED THIS SUCCESS WITHOUT SELLIGENT'S ONGOING SUPPORT AND DEDICATION TO OUR BUSINESS.
–Katie Palmer, Head of Customer Marketing
SECRETSALES wanted to promote more products in general, show customers products they would be most interested in, and develop a contact strategy to increase touch points for each sale. But there were certain challenges that had to be met.
Most obviously, there was the volume and complexity of all of the emails. Managing multiple creative versions was cost prohibitive, and developing many different versions of emails to target different customers was labor intensive. And, while there was a lot of data available on each customer's purchase history and browsing behavior, SECRETSALES had no effective way to put offers on the right products in front of the right customer segments.
Additionally, SECRETSALES had the goal of increasing repeat purchases. SECRETSALES wanted to incentivize customers to come back to buy more after making a first purchase, but they had no structured system to drive loyalty.
And finally, an increase in mailing volume created concerns about speed and deliverability. Because all sales are time sensitive, every single minute in the inbox is crucial. Mailings have to be delivered quickly, and they have to reach the consumer's inbox. The company's ESP was having difficulty with sending speeds and was struggling with deliverability, particularly with Gmail.
The path to success
Selligent developed dynamic templates that ensured that each customer receives an email uniquely crafted for them, based on their preferences and purchase history. These templates, which can be copied and modified for easy production, are populated with content driven by data in each individual customer profile.
Selligent also designed a frequency model that segments and manages the cadence for audiences based on customer type, number of transactions, recency and return rates.
Today, SECRETSALES manages its relationships with more than 3 million registered members quickly, easily and cost effectively via Selligent's data-driven marketing software, which allows them to send highly personalized content features—driving higher online sales and strengthening loyalty.

Liberal woke boi MP and senior Sunsilk brand ambassador Shashi Tharoor confused all liberals yesterday. Tharoor's complaint got a Delhi court to order the police to file an FIR against future Bharat Ratna awardee Arnab Goswami for well, doing his job. Tharoor claimed that Arnab accessed confidential documents that were part of the police investigation in the Sunanda Pushkar death case while the probe was still on. This was like a surprise class test on the subject of core liberal values which almost everyone flunked – even the brightest students on Twitter. It has now sadly emerged that in the Tharoorian liberal badlands, it's the journalist's fault if the cops leaked the documents to the media in an ongoing case.
But Barkha Dutt outdid her silent peers. She went a step ahead and tweeted, "This man has routinely tarnished journalists and even called for their trial and arrest. I won't shed a tear for him facing criminal action for his dangerous, communal, and vile reportage." I don't know if this is coincidence (I hope to God that it is) but Dutt sounds a lot like Goswami in this tweet. Conveniently change your principles to take the side of man (Tharoor) who is a party colleague of the person funding your channel (Kapil Sibal).

The product range of the breuckmann scanners has been expanded by adding a new high-precision version of the stereoSCAN. The stereoSCAN-R16 is now equipped with two 16 megapixel cameras, which means that the measurement data is calculated on the basis of 32 megapixels. The system is characterized by an extremely high resolution detail and measuring accuracy which to date has only been achievable by using coordinate measuring systems.
This system configuration is predominantly used in the context of large-scale measuring fields, with the operator being able to choose to focus either on the highest camera resolution or the fastest data acquisition, thus ensuring that each 3D scanning project is processed using the best suited system configuration. The resulting large data volumes are processed by the measuring and evaluation software OPTOCAT and used for the most diverse analysis tasks.

Q: JavaScript, LWC, Searching after User to stop typing, debounce In input user writes a search phrase for searching products. And I would like to set searching after user stopped typing.
Here is a nice example, but not works in Lightning Web Components.
When I begin to write to the search input, there is an error: "This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it."
productList.html:
<lightning-input
  type="search"
  class="slds-var-m-bottom_small"
  value={searchKey}
  placeholder="Searching..."
  onchange={handleSearchEvent}>
</lightning-input>

productList.js:
import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import findProducts from '@salesforce/apex/ProductMaster.findProducts';

export default class ProductList extends LightningElement {
  searchKey = '';
  timeout = null;

  @wire(findProducts, { searchKey: '$searchKey' })
  products;

  handleSearchEvent(event) {
    const eventValue = event.target.value;
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    timeout = setTimeout(function (eventValue) {
      this.searchKey = eventValue;
      console.clear();
      console.log('handleSearchEvent() -> this.searchKey: ' + this.searchKey);
    }, 1000); // searching after 1s
  }
}

How is it needed to set timeout?
And js console writes:
console.log('handleSearchEvent() -> this.searchKey: ' + this.searchKey);

handleSearchEvent() -> this.searchKey: undefined

A: The problem is that your this binding in your function needs to be explicitly set:
timeout = setTimeout(function (eventValue) {
      this.searchKey = eventValue;
      console.clear();
      console.log('handleSearchEvent() -> this.searchKey: ' + this.searchKey);
    }.bind(this), 1000);

But perhaps an easier way would be to just use an arrow function which will implicitly bind this I believe:
timeout = setTimeout((eventValue) => {
      this.searchKey = eventValue;
      console.clear();
      console.log('handleSearchEvent() -> this.searchKey: ' + this.searchKey);
    }, 1000);

Memorandum Opinion of the United States District Court for the District of Colombia
[1].
On July 12, 2013, Petitioner Science Applications International Corporation ("Petitioner" or "SAIC"), now "Leidos, Inc.," filed a Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award ("Petition") [Dkt. No. 1] against Respondent, The Hellenic Republic ("Respondent" or "Hellenic Republic"). The Petitioner now asks this Court to confirm an arbitration award granted by the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration ("ICC") and to enter judgment against the Hellenic Republic..
On September 5, 2013, while the Petition with this Court was pending, the Hellenic Republic filed an action to set aside the ICC award in the Athens Court of Appeals. See Pet.'s Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award and to Enter Judgment at 2-3 [Dkt. No. 20]. On March 27, 2014, the Parties filed a Joint Motion for a Stay pending a decision by the Athens Court of Appeals [Dkt. No. 16], which was granted on March 28, 2014 [Dkt. No. 17]. On June 18, 2014, the Athens Court of Appeals issued a decision annulling the ICC award. See Consent Motion for Briefing Schedule [Dkt. No. 18]. On September 8, 2014, Petitioner filed a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award and Enter Judgment [Dkt. No. 20]. On November 17, 2014, Respondent filed a Cross-Motion to Dismiss or to Deny Petition to Confirm Award [Dkt. No. 25]..
On January 9, 2015, Petitioner filed an appeal of the Athens Court of Appeals annulment decision with the Supreme Court of the Hellenic Republic ("the Greek Supreme Court"). As of November 6, 2015, the Parties had not received any decision by the Greek Supreme Court. Thereafter, the Parties filed Joint Status Reports on the proceedings before the Greek Supreme Court, until it issued a decision.
On November 2, 2016, the Parties filed a Joint Status Report notifying this Court of the September 22, 2016, decision of the Greek Supreme Court [Dkt. No. 48]. It ruled in favor of Petitioner LEIDOS, Inc. (formerly, Science Applications International Corporation) reversing the Athens Court of Appeals decision annulling the arbitration award, and thereby reinstating the original ICC award to Petitioner. In addition, the Greek Supreme Court remanded the case back to the Athens Court of Appeals for a new hearing to address only one rather minor issue discussed in the Supreme Court's decision. That hearing is now scheduled for November 16, 2017.
In response to the November 2, 2016 Joint Status Report, the Court Ordered the Parties to submit their positions as to what, if anything, this Court should do, given the fact that the Greek Supreme Court had ruled [Dkt. No. 4 9]. On December 16, 2016, Petitioner submitted a Position Brief as to Impact on Its Arbitration Award Enforcement Petition of Supreme Court of the Hellenic Republic's Decision ("Pet.'s Position Br.")[Dkt. No. 51]. Respondent submitted its Position Statement that this Court should deny the Petitioner's request for enforcement of the decision of the Greek Supreme Court. [Dkt. No. 52].
Under the New York Convention, which has been implemented by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 2 01 et. seq., a court " may, if it considers it proper, adjourn the decision on the enforcement of the award...," New York Convention Article VI (emphasis added), and stay proceedings where "a parallel proceeding is ongoing in the originating country and there is a possibility that the award will be set aside." Europcar Italia v. Maiellano Tours, Inc., 156 F.3d 310, 316-18 (2d Cir. 1998). But, of course, the court is not required to do so. See id.
In determining whether to enforce an Arbitration Award against a foreign state, this Court must balance the factors which weigh in favor of or against enforcement. Chevron Corp, and Texas Petroleum Company v. Republic of Ecuador, 949 F. Supp. 2d 57, 71-73 (D.D.C. 2013) (applying Europcar, 156 F.3d at 316-18).
In Europcar, the Second Circuit cautioned courts that " [a] stay of confirmation should not be lightly granted lest it encourage abusive tactics by the party that lost in arbitration." Europcar, 156 F.3d at 316-18. In order to aid judges as they exercise their discretion, the Second Circuit enumerated a number of factors that should be considered. They are:
"(1) the general objectives of arbitration—the expeditious resolution of disputes and the avoidance of protracted and expensive litigation;
(2) the status of foreign proceedings and the estimated time for those proceedings to be resolved;
(3) whether the award sought to be enforced will receive greater scrutiny in the foreign proceedings under a less deferential standard of review;
(4) the characteristics of the foreign proceedings including
(i) whether they were brought to enforce an award (which would tend to weigh in favor of a stay) or to set the award aside (which would tend to weigh in favor of enforcement) ; (ii) whether they were initiated before the underlying enforcement proceeding so as to raise concerns of international comity; (iii) whether they were initiated by the party now seeking to. enforce the award in federal court; and (iv) whether they were initiated under circumstances indicating an intent to hinder or delay resolution of the dispute;
(5) a balance of the possible hardships to each of the parties, keeping in mind that if enforcement is postponed under Article VI of the Convention, the party seeking enforcement may receive "suitable security" and that, under Article V of the Convention, an award should not be enforced if it is set aside or suspended in the originating country... ; and
(6) any other circumstances that could tend to shift the balance in favor of or against adjournment."
Europcar, 156 F.3d at 317-18.
Factor One focuses on "the general objectives of arbitration— and the avoidance of protracted and expensive litigation." Europcar, 156 F.3d at 317. Factor Two focuses on "the status of the foreign proceedings and the estimated time for those proceedings to be resolved." Id. Given the fact that these two factors are so closely related, the Court will examine them together.
[10].
Stays are undesirable because "the adjournment of enforcement proceedings impedes the goals of arbitration - the expeditious resolution of disputes and the avoidance of protracted and expensive litigation." Id. It is clear that granting a stay in this case would thwart those fundamental objectives. The dispute between these two parties has now lasted almost 13 years. See Petition ¶ 14- The Petitioner, LEIDOS, filed its most recent demand for arbitration in June 2009 - seven and a half years ago. Petition ¶21. Petitioner filed a previous arbitration demand in 2006. Petition ¶ 14. The ICC tribunal issued its opinion in 2013. And, finally, Petitioner predicts that it will take the Athens Court of Appeals and the Greek Supreme Court until at least 2020 to bring the case to an absolute end. In sum, it will have taken—at a minimum—at least eleven years for the Petitioner to obtain the fruits of this specific litigation.
The Petitioner argues that " [g] ranting a stay in this case would thwart the objectives of arbitration." Pet.'s Position Br. at 7. The Court agrees. In fact, there can be little disagreement on this issue. As Petitioner has made clear, this dispute has already lasted almost 13 years and may well last, at a minimum, until 2020. If that prediction is accurate—and there have been many past road blocks and continuances in this litigation—it would mean that the litigation may last for well over 15 years.
Courts have found that the first and second factors weighed in favor of enforcement in cases involving far shorter litigation time periods. For example, in G.E. Transp.S.P.A. v. Republic of Albania, 693 F. Supp.2d 132, 139 (D.D.C.2010), this Court concluded that only four years from the time a complex case was in arbitration sufficed to "plainly weigh in favor of confirmation rather than adjournment." Id. This Court ruled similarly in Chevron Corp, and Texas Petroleum Company v. Republic of Ecuador, 949 F. Supp. 2d 57, 72 (D.D.C. 2013), because the case had been submitted to arbitration over six years earlier. The Court held that further delay would "surely... not constitute 'expeditious resolution' of the dispute which originated [more than a decade earlier]." Id. ; see also Gold Reserve, Inc. v. Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 146 F. Supp. 3d 112, 135 (D.D.C. 2015), appeal docketed, No. 15-7158 (D.C. Cir., Dec. 30, 2015) (holding that the first factor certainly favored enforcement rather than a stay of proceedings when a petitioner had filed for arbitration more than six years earlier).
Moving to the Second Factor, "the status of foreign proceedings and estimated time for those proceedings to be resolved," it must be remembered that although the Greek Supreme Court reversed the set aside and reinstated the award, years still remain to fully litigate the one minor issue that remains. When foreign proceedings are not likely to be reversed in the near future, Courts have concluded that the second factor weighs against a stay of enforcement. See Chevron Corp., 949 F. Supp. 2d at 72.
For all these reasons, the Court concludes that there is no question that Factors One and Two weigh strongly in favor of granting the Petitioner's request for enforcement of the arbitration award, which was upheld by the Greek Supreme Court.
Factor Three focuses on whether the award requested will be judged in the foreign proceedings under a different and less differential standard of review. Europcar, 156 F.3d at 317.
Regarding whether the Respondent's right to be heard will be reviewed with a differential standard, Petitioner argues that the Respondent will be unable to.satisfy its burden of showing that the "standard is not so much more exacting than the one applied here." See Chevron Corp., 949 F. Supp. 2d at 72. There is nothing to suggest that a differential standard will be used, nor does Respondent refer to any change in the standard of review.
Factor Four raises a number of questions. First, item (i) of Factor Four asks "whether [the foreign proceedings]... were brought to enforce an award (which would tend to weigh in favor of the stay] or to set the award aside (which would tend to weigh in favor of enforcement)." The answer to that question is very simple and that is that the Respondent initiated the foreign proceedings to vacate the initial ICC Award. This clearly weighs in favor of enforcement.
Item (ii) of Factor Four questions whether the foreign proceedings were initiated before the underlying enforcement proceeding. Again, the answer is very simple, and that is they were not initiated before the underlying enforcement proceeding and, therefore, there needs to be no concern about international comity.
Item (iii) of Factor Four asks whether the foreign proceedings were initiated by the Party now seeking to enforce the award in federal court. The answer is simple, namely, that they were not initiated by the Party now seeking to enforce the award. Respondent, not Petitioner, initiated the foreign proceedings; thus, this factors weighs in favor of enforcement as well. See Gold Reserve Inc., 146 F. Supp. 3d at 136.
Item (iv) of Factor Four asks whether the foreign proceedings were initiated under circumstances indicating an intent to hinder or delay resolution of the dispute. While the Petitioner does at one point suggest such an intent on the part of Respondent, the Court does not have sufficient information to provide an answer.
Overall, Factor Four clearly weighs in favor of enforcement.
Factors Five and Six may be viewed as residual factors- they direct the Court to consider "a balance of the possible hardships to the Parties," and if there is " [a]ny other circumstance that could tend to shift the balance in favor of or against adjournment," respectively. Europcar, 156 F.3d at 318. While there is little information given by the Parties about Factor Five, it is certainly clear that the Respondent, the Hellenic Republic, will not have to endure possible hardship given the fact that it is a country with a treasury and all the resources that a government has, whereas, the Petitioner is a private firm that may well suffer hardship for not gaining access to the substantial amount of money awarded by the Hellenic Supreme Court.
Neither party has presented any other factors that this court should consider under Factor Six.
All of the issues covered by the Factors laid out in Europcar are overwhelmingly in favor of the Petitioner. Significantly, the Respondent has not been able to counter any of the reasons given to show that the Petitioner is clearly entitled to prevail.
For all the reasons given, the Court concludes that the Petitioner's Petition to Enforce the Award of the Hellenic Republic should be granted. An Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.

"Filmmakers have thousands of secrets, many that they don't know they know. Sometimes we have to stop the movie, go back, and trace precisely how directors achieve their effects."
— David Bordwell
CINEA is the nickname of the Flemish Service for Film Culture (VDFC), which has been spreading the knowledge of film history and film styles throughout Brussels and Flanders since its creation in 1994. During events such as the Summer Film College and online through the journal photogénie, CINEA highlights film heritage in all its intriguing facets and all its incarnations from the late nineteenth century until today, always from a film-historical and aesthetic standpoint.
Cinema belongs to everyone and is eminently the art that both stimulates and thrives on intense social connection. Therefore CINEA wants to create spaces and moments, both online and offline, where like-minded people can find each other, where there is room for debate and discovery; where both seasoned cinephiles and curious novices can find something to their liking, always with the rich collection and knowledge of CINEMATEK as its main source and the enthusiasm of film professor André Vandenbunder as its inspiration.
The name CINEA refers back to the start of the twentieth century, when artists and intellectuals gathered in the cinemas of modernist Paris, and touted film as the most modern of all art forms. They assembled in ciné-clubs and founded film journals, in which they published some of the first reflections on the medium. One of these journals, founded by filmmaker and critic Louis Delluc, was called Cinéa, which was later – when Delluc joined forces with Jean Esptein – known as Cinéa-Ciné pour tous.
"Cinema for All" is one reason for the name CINEA, another reason is related to the texts that could be found in magazines like Cinéa. The writings of the early French film critics and theorists are overflowing with these kinds of lyrical descriptions of fleeting actions or marginal details of the films they admired. Photogénie was the name they gave to the almost spiritual quality they attributed to these moments. Each of them had his own definition of the term, but Louis Delluc stressed the importance of the creative input of the filmmaker. However they imagined the concept, for them, photogénie permitted the spectator to see the world anew.
Wonderment and analysis are essential for CINEA, both in its live events, and online in the texts published under the title photogénie. In other words: filmmakers have thousands of secrets, CINEA lets you in on them!
CINEA is made possible by the support of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund.
CINEA is grateful to its structural partners for all their support: CINEMATEK, De Cinema, KASKcinema, Film-Plateau, Film Fest Gent, Mooov.

Limiteds, Locals, and Expresses in Indiana, 1838-1971
Author: Craig Sanders
Publisher: Indiana University Press
The passenger train has long held a special place in the imagination of Americans, and Indiana was once a bustling passenger train crossroads. Limiteds, Locals, and Expresses in Indiana, 1838–1971 brings to life the countless locals, accommodation trains, and secondary expresses that Hoosiers patronized during the Golden Age of the passenger train. Craig Sanders gives us a comprehensive history of intercity passenger service in Indiana, from the time railroads began to develop in the state in the mid-19th century through May 1, 1971, when Amtrak began operations. Each chapter summarizes the history and development of one railroad, discusses the factors that shaped that railroad's passenger service—such as prolonged financial difficulties, competition, and the influence of a strong leader—and concludes with a detailed account of its passenger operations in Indiana. Sixteen maps, 87 photographs, and other evocative illustrations supplement Sanders's text.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Author: James E. Casto
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
Category : Transportation
In the late 1860s, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) pushed its first tracks westward from Virginia's Tidewater region across the mountains into what was then the new state of West Virginia. Ultimately its tracks stretched across a half-dozen states and even into Canada. Appalachian coal was the C&O's primary cargo, but its fast freights carried shipments of all kinds, and its crack passenger trains were marvels of their day. In 1963, the C&O merged with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the first of what would become a wave of railroad mergers. Today the old C&O is part of giant CSX Transportation. Images of Rail: The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway gathers 200 photographs that chronicle the C&O story. Here is a fond look back at its mammoth steam locomotives and the diesels that replaced them, its bustling passenger stations, and much more, including the legendary John Henry, who beat that steam drill, and Chessie, the sleeping kitten that was the C&O's much-loved trademark.

Virginia Rail Trails
Author: Joe Tennis
Virginia's rail trails range from the popular path of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail to wilderness walks with wispy waterfalls. These lines pass scenes once viewed only by the eyes of train engineers or a few lucky passengers. Now those trails can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a scenic hike or relaxing bike ride or even those saddling up horses. From the sunrise side of the Eastern Shore to the setting sun at the Cumberland Gap, each trail, like the "Virginia Creeper" or the "Dick & Willie," has a personality and grandeur all its own. Join author Joe Tennis as he explores restored train stations, discovers a railroad's lost island graveyard and crosses the commonwealth on its idyllic paths.

The Collapse of Richmond's Church Hill Tunnel
Author: Walter S. Griggs Jr.
Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, was in shambles after the Civil War. The bulk of Reconstruction became dependent on the railways, and one of the most important links in the system was the Church Hill Tunnel. The tunnel was eventually rendered obsolete by an alternative path over a viaduct, and it was closed for regular operation in 1902. However, the city still used it infrequently to transport supplies, and it was maintained with regular safety inspections. The city decided to reopen the tunnel in 1925 due to overcrowding on the viaduct, but the tunnel needed to be strengthened and enlarged. On October 2, 1925, 190 ft of the tunnel unexpectedly caved in, trapping construction workers and an entire locomotive inside. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the tunnel and the mystery surrounding its collapse. There were cave-ins and sink holes above the surface for decades after the tunnel was sealed up, and in 1998, a reporter from the Richmond Times-Dispatch did an investigation, trying to determine the current condition of the tunnel. In 2006, the Virginia Historical Society announced its efforts to try and excavate the locomotive and remaining bodies.

Canals For A Nation
Author: Ronald E. Shaw
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
Category : Poetry
All but forgotten except as a part of nostalgic lore, American canals during the first half of the nineteenth century provided a transportation network that was vital to the development of the new nation. They lowered transportation costs, carried a vast grain trade from western farms to eastern ports, delivered Pennsylvania coal to New York, and carried thousands of passengers at what seemed effortless speed. Along their courses sprang up new towns and cities and with them new economic growth. Canals for a Nation brings together in one volume a survey of all the major American canals. Here are accounts of innovative engineering, of near heroic figures who devoted their lives to canals, and of canal projects that triumphed over all the uncertainties of the political process.
