Repères biographiques
Né dans le royaume de León, il était le fils d'un comte de Luna.

Francisco de los Ángeles Quiñones est élu ministre général de son ordre en 1522. Il exerce plusieurs missions pour le pape, notamment pour la libération du pape Clément VII, retenu par les Impériaux au château Saint-Ange, qu'il obtient de Charles Quint en 1527.

Clément  le nomme cardinal lors du consistoire du . Le cardinal Quiñones est élu évêque de Coria en 1530 et de Palestine en 1540. Il résigne le gouvernement de son diocèse en 1532 et est nommé gouverneur de Veroli et Campagna.

Quiñones réforme le bréviaire romain sur ordre de Clément VII dans la période 1529-1534. Ce bréviaire, imprimé sous le nom de Breviarium romanum à Rome en 1535 qui, bien qu'approuvé des papes Clément VII, Paul III, Jules III et Paul IV, fut censuré par la Sorbonne et interdit par Pie V.

Il participe au conclave de 1534, lors duquel  est élu pape. En 1539 il est nommé administrateur d'Acerno.

– Washington Times – Space and cyberspace are not the sole domains for China's growing asymmetric warfare programs. The Chinese military has another development program only recently disclosed that is part of the decadeslong buildup of weapons and forces: deep sea.
– National Interest – The APS-154 transforms the P-8 into a surface-surveillance platform similar to the U.S. Air Force's E-8 radar plane.
– USNI Blog – Russia has been carefully observing the activities of the U.S and British navies in the Black Sea region. It protested through diplomatic channels that the main thrust of Sea Breeze 2018, a Black Sea exercise with Ukraine, was anti-Russian. And according to the Russian Institute of Strategic Research, it was not a coincidence when after Sea Breeze 2017, the United States revealed plans to build a maritime operations center in Ochakiv, a small city located between Crimea and Odessa at the mouth of the Dnieper River.
– USNI News – Britain's Ministry of Defence is exploring options for the development of an Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV) to conduct covert missions at distances of up to ranges 3,000 nautical miles for three months at a time for the Royal Navy.
– CIMSEC – China's Arctic policy has to be examined in the context of its domestic politics and its geopolitical and geostrategic concerns.
– Defense News – Naval forces worldwide are pushing the idea of anti-torpedo torpedoes, with varying success, aiming to translate the promises of missile defense technology into undersea warfare.
– CIMSEC – As the United States winds down from two regional land conflicts that have dominated the 21st century, great power competition with China and Russia rightly dominates defense planning and operations. Consequently, American seapower must once again evolve to meet the challenges of sustaining America's prosperity and security in a multi-polar world. No element of modern seapower is more worthy of evolution than the operational relationship between the Navy and Marine Corps, and this essay asserts that the 21st century approach to command and control (C2) of these forces must embrace the integrated approach offered by the Joint functional commander concept and its maritime instantiation, the Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC).
– USNI News – The F-35B Joint Strike Fighter is not only changing the way Marine forces conduct their missions, it is also changing the way the amphibious navy can do its work in the absence of an aircraft carrier.
– Breaking Defense – The Navy is scrambling to write its new acquisition and operational playbook on the fly, a decision based as much on what US rivals are doing as it is on what the service hasn't done in recent decades. The construction and innovation booms being undertaken by the Chinese — and to a lesser extent Russian — navies, are forcing the admirals at the Pentagon to push new, still mostly theoretical, unmanned technologies into the water as quickly as possible for urgent make-or-break tests.
– USNI News – The Navy has a new Offensive Missile Strategy that replaces an older and narrower plan and tackles offensive lethality in a three-pronged fashion: sustaining current systems, enhancing current systems and developing next-generation weapons to address future threats.
– CIMSEC – In January 2019, Chinese Communist Party leaders announced that the newest iteration of their DF-17 missile system was being designed to overwhelm and sink U.S. aircraft carriers and surface combatants stationed in the West Pacific. According to official statements from the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF), a targeted salvo of eight hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) set aloft by DF-17s would swamp a surface vessel's close-in point defenses and annihilate it through incredible transfers of kinetic energy.
– USNI Proceedings – Small states can use creative solutions to overcome manpower and resource challenges and build navies for coastal defense.
– CIMSEC – Part 3 in an excellent fiction series on near-future naval undersea operations.


R+R opened for business at the end of the nineteen fifties in Oberhausen, Germany.
The brand carries the acronym of its founders and Ringelhan and Rennet. In a short time it became one of the most important in its sector expanding with new locations; in Italy, Spain, France and Switzerland.
The first Italian office was opened in Rome in 1968, and successively in Milan, becoming immediately the leading company in the sector of pharmacy furnishings and decorations, optical and perfume store outfitters; with a"turnkey" formula intervening from the design to the delivery of the "made to measure"furniture.
In 1971 it launched for the first time in Italy and at the same time in Spain, France and Germany the chests of drawers for drugs revolutionizing the concept of the pharmacy: a traditional pharmacy to a modern pharmacy.
But the real news was that the Pharmacy R+R has since then totally revolutionized the pharmacy in Italy with their designs; becoming a leading figure which then inspired all the others.
All pharmacists who visited the stand were fascinated and soon became our customers installing firstly R+R chest of drawers that many of them still use.
by the pharmacist to the wholesaler.
In the mid-80s, R+R broke away permanently from the German brand moving to Perugia on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, which even today, is the current headquarters of the company and since then, as always, pointing to technological innovations to improve the work of the pharmacist and to commercially revive the pharmacy.

Erik Cernak's Fantasy Scouting Report
You can expect Erik Cernak to be a good bench player who will start in certain weeks the rest of the season. His 8 projected fantasy points puts him at #108 behind Marc Staal and ahead of Calle Rosen. He has averaged 1.32 fantasy points in his past 124 games, which is more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 0.76 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#117) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. Erik Cernak is expected to slightly improve on this season-to-date's #110 fantasy position rank.
START EM ALERT: ERIK CERNAK WEEK 24 AND 25 FANTASY OUTLOOK
Erik Cernak is projected for 2.05 fantasy points in 2 games the rest of the week in week 24 which ranks him as the #47 projected defenseman for the week and a starter for most fantasy teams. This is projected to be a better than average week with more fantasy points per game than he is projected to average per game the rest of the season. He is ranked above Jake Gardiner but behind Matt Grzelcyk the rest of the week. Week 25 will not be as good based on projected rank (#152). He is projected for 1.75 fantasy points.

Q: How to load shell aliases in an alpine docker container with start I have written a DOCKER file, which uses as an image an private adapted alpine image, which contains a nginx server.
Note: alpine uses zsh, not bash.
I love to have some shell aliases available, when working in the container and it drives me nuts, when they are missing. So I copy a small prepared file to /root/.profile, which works. I can view the file and it's contents. But the file does not load only if I manually do . ~/.profile in the container then I have the aliases available.
What do I have to do, that my profile is automatically loaded after I started the container and connect into it's shell?
FROM myprivatealpineimage/base-image-php:7.4.13

ARG TIMEZONE

COPY ./docker/shared/bashrc /root/.profile

COPY ./docker/shared/ /tmp/scripts/
RUN chmod +x -R /tmp/scripts/ \
    && /tmp/scripts/set_timezone.sh ${TIMEZONE}\
    && apk update\
    && apk add --no-cache git

RUN install-ext pecl/apcu pecl/imagick pecl/zip pecl/redis
RUN apk add --no-cache --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing gnu-libiconv
ENV LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so php

WORKDIR /var/www

A: For me, this worked:

*

*Create a shell script per alias. For example, backup.sh and compile.sh and dblogin.sh.

*Put all those scripts inside a directory. For example scripts

*Add that directory to PATH environment variable inside your Dockerfile. Example:
ENV PATH="${PATH}:/temp/scripts"

*Mount this directory in your docker-compose.yml file. Example:
        volumes:
            - /path/to/scripts/on/local/machine:/temp/scripts

*Make sure the path you add to PATH matches the path you mount in docker-compose.yml. For example both should be /temp/scripts

*Now inside your docker interactive shell, you can simply call your script files with their names, for example compile or dblogin.

A: You can add aliases during the docker build like so:
# Making our command line life a little easier...
RUN echo 'alias ll="ls -l"' >> ~/.bashrc
RUN echo 'alias la="ls -la"' >> ~/.bashrc

A: By default docker start a non-login shell.
To read .profile file you need a login shell docker exec -it <container> ash -l.
To read /etc/profile (or another startup file) everytime, you've to set ENV variable.
Example Dockerfile
ARG PHPVERSION=7.4
FROM php:$PHPVERSION-fpm-alpine

ARG PHPVERSION=7.4
ENV PHPVERSION_ENV=$PHPVERSION

# copy composer from official image
COPY --from=composer:latest /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

#set $ENV
ENV ENV=/etc/profile
#copy aliases definition
COPY /assets/alias.sh /etc/profile.d/alias.sh

A: Cory your file as .bashrc under your user's directory:
COPY docker/shared/bashrc /home/{YOUR_USER}/.bashrc

A: This seems to work:
FROM myprivatealpineimage/base-image-php:8.0.3

ARG TIMEZONE
ARG WITH_XDEBUG=false

COPY ./docker/shared/bashrc /root/.profile
COPY ./docker/shared/bashrc /root/.ashrc

COPY ./docker/shared/ /tmp/scripts/
RUN chmod +x -R /tmp/scripts/ \
    && /tmp/scripts/set_timezone.sh ${TIMEZONE} \
    && apk add --no-cache git

WORKDIR /var/www

I just build my container anew and when I logged in, I had my aliases. If somebody can confirm, that this setup works I will mark it as correct answer. No clue though why it works and the other didn't.

A Perivascular Origin for Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Human Organs
Cell Stem Cell : Volume 3, Issue 3, 11 September 2008, Pages 301–313
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the archetypal multipotent progenitor cells derived in cultures of developed organs, are of unknown identity and native distribution. We have prospectively identified perivascular cells, principally pericytes, in multiple human organs including skeletal muscle, pancreas, adipose tissue, and placenta, on CD146, NG2, and PDGF-Rβ expression and absence of hematopoietic, endothelial, and myogenic cell markers. Perivascular cells purified from skeletal muscle or nonmuscle tissues were myogenic in culture and in vivo. Irrespective of their tissue origin, long-term cultured perivascular cells retained myogenicity; exhibited at the clonal level osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic potentials; expressed MSC markers; and migrated in a culture model of chemotaxis. Expression of MSC markers was also detected at the surface of native, noncultured perivascular cells. Thus, blood vessel walls harbor a reserve of progenitor cells that may be integral to the origin of the elusive MSCs and other related adult stem cells.
All MSCs Are Pericytes?
Cell Stem Cell: Volume 3, Issue 3, 11 September 2008, Pages 229–230
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Crisan et al. (2008) document a subpopulation of human perivascular cells that express both pericyte and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers in situ. The isolated population can expand and is clonally multipotent in culture, establishing that MSCs found throughout fetal and adult tissues are members of the pericyte family of cells.
Regenerative Treatments to Enhance Orthopedic Surgical Outcome
Physiatric Applications of Stem Cell Therapies in Regenerative Treatments of Musculoskeletal Conditions: Volume 7, Issue 4, Supplement, April 2015, Pages S41–S52
In orthopedic surgery there has been a never-ending quest to improve surgical outcome and the patient's experience. Progression has been marked by the refinement of surgical techniques and instruments and later by enhanced diagnostic imaging capability, specifically magnetic resonance. Over time implant optimization was achieved, along with the development of innovative minimally invasive arthroscopic technical skills to leverage new versions of classic procedures and implants to improve short-term patient morbidity and initial, mid-term, and long-term patient outcomes. The use of regenerative and/or biological adjuncts to aid the healing process has followed in the drive for continual improvement, and major breakthroughs in basic science have significantly unraveled the mechanisms of key healing and regenerative pathways. A wide spectrum of primary and complementary regenerative treatments is becoming increasingly available, including blood-derived preparations, growth factors, bone marrow preparations, and stem cells. This is a new era in the application of biologically active material, and it is transforming clinical practice by providing effective supportive treatments either at the time of the index procedure or during the postoperative period. Regenerative treatments are currently in active use to enhance many areas of orthopedic surgery in an attempt to improve success and outcome. In this review we provide a comprehensive overview of the peer-reviewed evidence-based literature, highlighting the clinical outcomes in humans both with preclinical data and human clinical trials involving regenerative preparations within the areas of rotator cuff, meniscus, ligament, and articular cartilage surgical repair.

CANTON >> There is a sense of excitement and anticipation around the Canton High football team this season. And why not?
After going 0-10 two years ago in 2011, the Warriors responded with an outstanding season under first-year coach Paul Philippon. Canton (7-3, 7-3 Pequot Uncas) won a school-record seven games, set a new single season scoring record of 217 points and finished four games over .500 for the first time since 1958.Outside of leading rusher Kyle Mullins, who ran for a school-record 977 yards and 13 touchdowns, Canton has the bulk of the team that achieved those accomplishments returning.
That's a good sign because the Warriors face a challenging schedule in 2013 if they hope to contend for a divisional championship in the Pequot Conference or if they hope to be among the top eight teams in Class S and earn a berth in the CIAC playoffs for the the first time.
A year ago, Canton relied on its running game and disciplined play on both sides of the ball to win seven games. The Warriors lost the ball just five times (four fumbles, one interception) while forcing 19 turnovers of their own (11 fumble recoveries, 8 interceptions).
They made some big defensive stops in tight wins over Enfield, Windsor Locks/Suffield/East Granby (to snap a 13-game losing streak in week 2) and Coventry/Windham Tech/Bolton.
"We try to be a sound team that plays smart, clean football," Philippon said.
The Pequot Conference realigned into three divisions and Canton will be in the Western Division along with Avon, Gilbert/Northwestern, Granby, Lewis Mills, Nonnewaug and Housatonic/Wamogo.
Canton ends up with seven games on this year's schedule against teams that finished over .500 last year including five games against teams that won at least seven games – Avon (10-1), Hyde (10-2), Ellington/Somers (9-2), Gilbert/NWR (7-3) and Coventry/WT/Bolton (7-3).
"Last year's good feelings aren't getting in the way of their work ethic," Philippon said. "There is a nucleus of kids who know what they have to do."Senior Eric Scott returns at quarterback for his third season. He has thrown for 923 yards and nine TDs over the past two seasons. Two of his top targets from a year ago are also back. Senior tight end Jake Wood caught 17 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns while All-Pequot junior Sebastian Gumbs caught 14 passes for 109 yards.
Gumbs also made an impact returning eight kickoffs for 213 yards. Cam Daley returned 10 kickoffs for 180 yards.
Mullins has graduated but All-Pequot linebacker and running back Dan Delos is back. A year ago, Delos rushed for 574 yards and six touchdowns.
Defensively, Canton has some veteran players returning. Junior All-Pequot linebacker Henry Bonini is back on the field. He was the team's leading tackler with 95 stops including 60 solo tackles.
Delos was the team's second leading tackler with 84 tackles, including 53 solo tackles is back along with cornerback Cameron Daley, who had 83 tackles and 57 solo tackles, three interceptions and recovered a pair of fumbles. Five of the top six tacklers are back on defense for Canton, including Wood and Patrick Lawlor.
With many of their athletes playing on both sides of the ball, Canton will need to stay away from injuries to have a successful campaign.
Canton will be challenged right from the start with four of its first six games against teams with winning records a year ago.
Canton opened the season earlier this week against Class L playoff participant Avon (10-1). After hosting Housatonic/Wamogo on Sept. 28, the Warriors host Hyde (10-2) on Oct. 5, travel to face Coventry/Windham Tech/Bolton (7-3) on Oct. 11 and host Gilbert/Northwestern (7-3) on Oct. 26.
There are two night games on the schedule at Coventry (Oct. 11) and Enfield (Nov. 21). Canton is trying to secure permission to use portable lights and perhaps host Housatonic/Wamogo in a night game on Sept. 28 on the new artificial turf at the track and field complex currently being built at the high school. If those plans fall through, it will be a day game as currently scheduled.The team is scheduled to play their home games on West Field this season.
Key losses: RB/DE Kyle Mullins (977 yards rushing, 13 TDs), RB Jesse Lachance (190 yards rushing, 3 TDs). Mullins was an All-Pequot selection at DE.
Outlook: The Warriors return the core of the team that won a school record seven games and scored a school record 217 points last year after going winless in 10 games in 2011. The biggest loss is running back Kyle Mullins, who ran for 977 yards and 13 TDs and made 65 tackles on defense. QB Eric Scott returns for a third season and will have experienced receivers in Sebastian Gumbs (14 receptions, 109 yards) and Jake Wood (17 receptions, 219 yards, 3 TDs). Defensively, Canton will be led by All-Pequot linebacker Henry Bonini (95 tackles), linebacker Dan Delos (84 tackles) and Gumbs and Daley in the secondary. Canton will need to stay away from injuries with many of their athletes playing on both sides of the ball.
Of note: The Warriors expect to play most of their home games on West Field this year. However, there are efforts underway to see if they can get permission to play Housatonic/Wamogo under portable lights on Saturday, Sept. 28 on the new artificial turf field at the track and field complex currently being built at the high school. … CPTV Sports will be taping the Hyde at Canton game on Oct. 5 for broadcast a few days later. It is one of 22 high school football games that CPTV Sports will broadcast this fall. … Bonini (LB), Gumbs and Daley (DB) were All-Pequot selections a year ago.

Publisher: The New Press (2007); ISBN: 978-1-59558-114-3
A revelatory look at the U.S. Government's plan to put weapons in outer space, by two bestselling experts.
"During the early portion of the twenty-first century, space power will also evolve into a separate and equal medium of warfare … The emerging synergy of space superiority with land, sea, and air superiority will lead to Full Spectrum Dominance." – from U.S. Space Command Vision for 2020
When most of us think about the potential of outer space for future generations, we think of world communications, satellite navigation, and scientific exploration. U.S. Space Command, however, thinks about weapons. Believing that conflict in space and wars fought from space are inevitable, the president has called on the agency to weaponize outer space and thus provoke an arms race that could cost the United States trillions of dollars and could lead to the demise of the human race.
In War in Heaven, a Nobel Prize-nominated peace activist and a former U.S. foreign service officer (who helped write the Outer Space Treaty of 1967) look at the history of military uses of space and the current plans for "militarizing the heavens," including kinetic, laser, nuclear bombardment, and anti-satellite weapons. Contrary to the claims of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that the United States faces a "space Pearl Harbor," Caldicott and Eisendrath show that the United States itself is today the principal obstruction to passage of an international treaty banning weapons from outer space.
At a time when plans to build and deploy space weapons are on the administration's agenda but only just becoming known to the general public, this book will help launch a national discussion of a critical issue.
Straight Magazine, 22 March 2007: Helen Caldicott (If You Love This Planet) has teamed up with former U.S. Foreign Service diplomat Craig Eisendrath … and if much of the material is familiar to Canadians wary of U.S. imperialism beyond the stratosphere … its call for peace among the stars is still depressingly unheard south of the 49th. The book is compelling, and its authors well-versed in the complexities of rocketry, missile-defence theory, and multilateral treaty making … read more.

PCB invites Afghanistan on first official tour
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has invited Afghanistan's national team on a full-fledged tour for the first time, a senior board official said on Tuesday, following a visit to Kabul by Prime Minister Imran Khan — one of the game's greatest players.
"We'll try to look for a possible window for this tour — and if not 2021, we'll definitely try to plan a series in 2022 season," said PCB chief executive Wasim Khan. "A cricket series between Pakistan and Afghanistan could be a harbinger of love and peace between the two countries."
An Afghan national side toured Pakistan in May 2011, although they only played a second-string side and matches were not given first-class status.
The Prime Minister visited Afghanistan on Thursday, where he vowed to help reduce spiralling violence and push for a ceasefire between the Taliban and Afghan forces.
Before entering politics, Imran was one of the world's leading cricketers — a destructive all-rounder with a devastating ability to swing the ball and brutally attack the opposition's bowling.
As a member of world cricket's second tier, Afghanistan's usual opponents are teams such as Ireland, Scotland and Hong Kong.
But Afghanistan beat Pakistan last year in a friendly ahead of the World Cup in England, sparking wild scenes in Kabul where jubilant fans fired machine guns into the night sky, triggering security lockdowns in foreign embassies.
Most Afghans only became familiar with the game from the 1980s, when millions were exiled as refugees near Peshawar, just 50 kilometres (36 miles) from their border.
The two countries have played only a single official one-day match and one Twenty20 International — both in the United Arab Emirates.
Relations between the two national cricket bodies are strong, however.
"A strong Afghanistan means a strong Asian block… so Pakistan will continue to play its part and help Afghan cricket," said Wasim.
Afghanistan are scheduled to host Pakistan for three One-day Internationals as part of World Cup 2023 Super League, most likely to be played in the United Arab Emirates.

Alliance of American Football gauged Colin Kaepernick's interest in returning to football
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick almost returned to the gridiron this year, just not in the National Football League. The 31 year old was approached by the Alliance of American Football (AAF) and its CEO Charlie Ebersol about a possible return according to The Athletic.
Kaepernick became the subject of controversy when he began taking a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to protest police brutality and racial injustice. It became a polarizing issue as some approved of the action, while others expressed displeasure.
The AAF is a new spring league consisting of eight centrally owned and operated football teams. It was founded by former Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian and The Ebersol Family. The league began its inaugural season last weekend with all eight teams seeing action.
The new league offers an alternative for fans and a chance for players to get in front of a national audience and potentially impress coaches at the next level. Former collegiate standouts like Trent Richardson, Jalin Marshall, and Garrett Graham are just some of the players you will see competing.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like Kaepernick will join the league as negotiations didn't go according to plan. AAF co-founder Bill Polian didn't offer much information during an interview with The Athletic.
"I don't know what transpired, but he's obviously not playing," he said.
The Associated Press reports the former quarterback sought a contract in the neighborhood of $20 million. This far surpasses what traditional players make in the AAF with players earning a non-guaranteed $250,000 contract, but could earn more if performance goals are reached.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native had a productive NFL career, throwing for over 12,000 yards and 72 touchdowns during his six season in the Bay Area.
He hasn't been on an NFL roster since 2017 and is in a continuing legal battle against the league, claiming collusion between owners in an effort to prevent him from being signed to a club.

NFL's bag ban angers female fans
Daryl Paranada Jun 17, 2013
https://www.marketplace.org/2013/06/17/nfls-bag-ban-angers-female-fans/
The National Football League announced a controversial rule change starting this upcoming season — a limit on the size and type of bags that can be brought into a stadium.
Starting this preaseason: no camera bags, no fanny packs, no backpacks, no seat cushions. The NFL says the policy is meant to provide a safer environment for the public, speed up security checks, and expedite fan entry into stadiums.
"The public deserves to be in a safe, secure environment. This is about both safety and improving the overall fan experience," states the NFL's website. "We had been discussing a new approach to bag restrictions before the Boston Marathon incident. We have come up with a way to do it that will actually make access more convenient for fans than it has been. We think the fans will embrace and appreciate it."
Small clutches the size of a person's hand, NFL-branded clear plastic or vinyl totes, as well as one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags will be OK to bring into stadiums. An exception will be made for medically necessary items. Of course, the ban has sparked controversy among football fans. Women, in particular, are upset about the purse restriction.
Melissa Jacobs of TheFootballGirl.com writes, "By asking women to leave their purses at home – and based on the restrictions, I mean asking every woman to leave her purse at home – the league is disconnecting from a fan base they are supposedly working so hard to expand."
By angering female fans, the NFL may be undercutting one of its target growth markets. In recent years, the NFL has focused on women in marketing efforts meant to boost its audience and revenue — finding success through sales of league merchandise. Scarborough Research data from 2009 shows that women make up 42 percent of NFL fans compared to 58 percent for men.
The NFL's new policy got us wondering how it compares to other places where bag restrictions are in place. Here's a list of famous monuments and places and their bag policies.
Acropolis Museum, Greece
Visitors are asked to avoid carrying large bags and luggage into the museum to avoid entrance delays.
Machu Picchu train, Peru
Passengers are allowed to carry on one bag or backpack weighing less than 11 lbs. and smaller than 62 linear inches.
Major League Baseball stadiums
Guests can bring any bag that is soft-sided (e.g., diaper bags, small purses, etc.) and whose dimensions do not exceed 16″ x 16″ x 8″ as stipulated by Major League Baseball security regulations. Briefcases, coolers and other hard-sided bags or containers are not permitted.
Staples Center, Los Angeles
All bags larger than 14″ x 14″ (i.e. backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc.) will be prohibited from entry into the arena.
Statue of Liberty, New York
Large packages, suitcases, carry-on luggage and other large parcels are not permitted on the ferry systems or at Liberty and Ellis Islands.
Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, Australia
Climbers are not permitted to take any items onto the bridge, including handbags.
Taj Mahal, India
The website discourages visitors from carrying big bags and books inside the monument as it may increase security check time.
U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, Hawaii
No purses, handbags, fanny packs, backpacks, camera bags, diaper bags, luggage and/or other items that offer concealment.
Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel, Vatican City
You may not enter with any bags, backpacks or luggage measuring more than 40 x 35 x 15 centimeters. Any bag or backpack smaller than that is OK as long as it's not overly cumbersome and doesn't "jut out" by 15 centimeters from the body's shape in its highest point.

Biphobia and Bi Erasure
August 28th, 2015 by Samphe Ballamingie Comments
Illustration by Erin McPhee
In Glee, Kurt tells Blaine, a character questioning his sexual identity, that "Bisexual is a term gay guys use in high school when they want to hold hands with girls and feel normal for a change." In Orange is the New Black, Stella makes her Season 3 debut, and straight women on social media boast about how they'd "go gay" for Ruby Rose. When the USA finally legalized same-sex marriage, headlines showed only "gay and lesbian" couples that were happily married.
There are a number of myths associated with bisexuality, and major misunderstandings go hand-in-hand with stigma and invisibility. In Western society, bisexuality and pansexuality are blanket terms for people who are not attracted to solely one gender, and many people think bisexuality is simply an "attraction to men and women." This reveals a very cis-sexist approach to breaking down bisexuality, and doesn't take into account the gender spectrum. Within bisexuality, there is no inherent binarism, as "bi" refers to any two gender groups. Yes, this could mean you are attracted to a man and a woman, though it could also mean you are attracted to folks identifying as genderqueer and folks identifying as male. By saying bisexuality is an attraction to someone of the same sex and someone of the "opposite" sex, you are making bisexuality trans exclusive. For someone identifying as agender, what is the opposite sex? Well, contrary to popular belief, there is no "opposite" sex on the gender spectrum.
Moreover, bisexual people have to constantly validate their sexuality to people who aren't bi. For example, bi individuals will be asked a number of irrelevant questions such as, "If you're bi, why do you have a boyfriend? Doesn't that mean you're straight?" or "How many people of a different sex have you been with?" Of course, possibly the most annoying question of them all: "if you haven't been with a girl/boy/trans-folk, how do you know you're attracted to them?" (To people who ask this question, consider this: what about straight people who have never been in a relationship, or are waiting for marriage to have sex? Why are they automatically exempt from interrogation about their sexuality?)
Bisexuality's constant invalidation stems down to stigma. In our society, two women "getting it on" is considered appealing to the male gaze, and can be more normalized than the idea of two men together. Two feminine woman together are thought of as sexually appealing in a way that couples who don't conform to certain cis-normative standards of beauty are not. This fetishization increases the ongoing biphobia members of the bi community face.
The term "going gay," when used by straight men and women to describe an attraction to someone of their own gender, is in itself problematic. To use the recent example of Ruby Rose, straight women saying they would "totally go gay for Ruby Rose" are forgetting that: a) Ruby Rose identifies as genderfluid, and b) bisexuality exists. The word "bisexual" is constantly erased from our vocabulary. The media displays a woman in a relationship with a man as "straight," or a woman in a relationship with a woman as "gay." This points to the way in which our society privileges binary-thinking and being.
Across the spectrum, people who identify as straight or gay alike voice concerns about dating people who are bisexual, as though sexuality affects loyalty. Phrases like "bisexuality is greedy," "bisexual people are just on the fence," or "pick a side already" only contribute to this phobia, and it doesn't acknowledge another myth about bisexuality: you have to be equally attracted to two genders. While this may be the case, bisexuality can as easily mean you are 70% attracted to one gender and 30% attracted to another.
When bisexuality is constantly ignored and pushed to the peripheries, even in LGBTQ+ spaces, there is no one there to educate kids, teens, or even adults on the rich complexities of bisexual identities. How are people going to figure out their sexual identity when they're constantly told what they're feeling "isn't real?" Bisexuals have higher depression and anxiety rates than heterosexual individuals, and, in some cases, higher rates than gay/lesbian individuals. Suicidality occurs at a rate of 45.4% among bisexual women, 29.5% among gay women, and 9.6% among straight women. Conversely, suicidality occurs at a rate of 35.8% among bisexual men, 25.2% among gay men, and 7.4% among straight men (Canadian Community Health Survey, 2010).
These rates can increase when there is not enough social support for bisexuals after they come out to family and friends, or when they stay closeted for an extended period of time. While Western culture needs to tackle biphobia, LGBTQ+ communities also need to take a look at the way they approach the word "bisexual" and actively educate those in their communities on bisexuality, in the hopes that society will recognize "bisexuality" as something other than a fantasy or punch line.

The Milltown Boys at Sixty
The Origins and Destinations of Young Men from a Poor Neighbourhood

The Milltown Boys at Sixty: The Origins and Destinations of Young Men from a Poor Neighbourhood
Book Description Table of Contents Author(s) Reviews Instructor Resources Support Material
The Milltown Boys at Sixty is a story like no other, giving both an insider and an outsider view of the 'Milltown Boys', exploring the nature of an ethnographic relationship based on research about their experiences of the criminal justice system.
A group classically labelled as delinquents, drug-takers and drop-outs, the Boys were also, in many different ways, fathers, friends and family men, differentially immersed in the labour market, in very different family relationships and now very differently connected to criminal activity. Williamson has written books capturing their experiences over the fifty years of his continued association with them: about their teenage years; and twenty years later, in middle-age. This book is about them as they pass the age of 60, providing a personal account of the relationship between Williamson and the Boys, and the distinctive – perhaps even controversial – research methodology that enabled the mapping of their lives. It provides a unique and detailed insight into the ways in which the lives of the Milltown Boys that started with such shared beginnings have unfolded in so many diverse and fascinating ways.
These accounts will be of interest to the lay reader curious about the way others have managed (or failed to manage) their lives, the professional who works with those living, often struggling, on the wrong side of the tracks, and the academic researching and teaching about social exclusion, substance misuse, criminal justice transitions and the life course.

Howard Williamson is Professor of European Youth Policy at the University of South Wales. His academic work has focused on youth, social exclusion and public policy. He recently completed the editing of a seven-volume History of Youth Work in Europe, published by the Council of Europe.
"In The Milltown Boys at Sixty, the indefatigable Howard Williamson provides a masterclass in ethnography that offers a nuanced scholarly commentary of what it is like to grow up and old(er) in lives that began on a social housing estate. Williamson does a superb job of allowing some of the 'The Boys', whom he first met when they were 13 or 14 and who are now 60, reflect back across the years on lives lived mostly on the margins, whilst offering social commentary on the institutions - labour market, criminal justice service, and social and health services - that repeatedly failed many of them, then and now. The inclusion of themes such as who has succeeded and what success means, who counts as family, the role of belief systems and identity, and the far-reaching effects of mental health struggles make this account relevant and timely. A story of young lives - their origins and destinations - told across nearly fifty years is rare, but then so is Howard Williamson – a reflective and compassionate youth worker, youth policy expert and youth sociologist who has spent his entire career in the service of young people. The Milltown Boys at Sixty challenges us to change our approach from youth studies to life histories, our academic gaze from distant to intimate, and our analysis from a single lens to that of a kaleidoscope. Congratulations Howard, we are very proud of you!"
Sharlene Swartz, President, Sociology of Youth Research Committee, International Sociological Association, Professor of Philosophy, University of Fort Hare, South Africa
"With this book Howard Williamson returns to the story of the 'Milltown Boys' as they reach the age of 60. First met as teenagers, that Prof Williamson has retained close contact with these men over such an extended period is a very rare, perhaps unique sociological achievement. The twists and turns of the lives of 'the Boys' – family lives and friendships, encounters with crime and the criminal justice system, with jobs and unemployment, experiences of ageing and bereavement - are recounted with sensitivity, care and humour. This is not a typical academic book – not least because it is extraordinarily engaging! It rings with ethnographic truth. It should be relevant to a range of university courses in sociology, criminology, youth studies, youth work and research methodology. I can imagine students reading this book with great enthusiasm."
Robert MacDonald, Co-editor in Chief, Journal of Youth Studies, Professor of Education and Social Justice, University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom
"The Milltown Boys at Sixty studies the same group of boys and men for a period of nearly 50 years. This extensive qualitative longitudinal study examines themes such as growing up, working, maintaining friendships, getting older and even facing the inevitable brevity of human lives. Professor Williamson's reflections on research ethics and building relations with the people he studies are distinctive and immensely interesting. The book looks at life courses from the inside, and connects them to relevant themes in youth sociology without colonising the richness of the everyday with too much theory. The book offers narratives that are simultaneously a contribution to social science and evocative examples of long lives well lived, filled with beauty and dignity."
Tomi Kiilakoski, Leading Senior Researcher, Finnish Youth Research Network, Adjunct Professor, University of Tampere, Finland
"Understanding people's lives requires genuine empathy with others, sociological sense and sensitivity, and methodological imagination. It takes wit and it takes time. This book, in itself an autobiographical narrative account of how "strange fascinations" change over time, is an example of these qualities. It is a reminder of the social and sociological reflexivity and honesty that comes with studying youth and beyond. This third act of the 'Milltown Boys' is an inspired and inspirational piece of sociological storytelling."
Magda Nico, Assistant Professor, Department of Social Research Methods of ISCTE-IUL, University of Lisbon, Portugal
"Howard Williamson has done it again! Professor Williamson is a masterful storyteller, and has once again written a fascinating page-turner. This time he has produced a one of a kind longitudinal ethnography, spanning the lives of 'the Boys' over five decades, a group of social disadvantaged (young) men with whom he became closely acquainted in his own youth. Williamson's attention to detail in his close personal relationships with his respondents comes out on every page. Written in a conversational style, he shows how his own biography is intertwined with 'the Boys' he studied for those five decades, as his life course paralleled—but contrasted—their varied life courses. Indeed, the detailed narrative of the ethnographer's experiences is as interesting as the personal narratives he has documented from his respondents. This third edition of The Milltown Boys is must-read for youth studies researchers, but also scholars from many disciplines, especially those studying offenders—young and old alike—including sociology, social work, criminology, psychology, and psychiatry."
James E. Côté, Professor of Sociology, University of Western Ontario, Canada
"H, it's fantastic; it brought it all back. You put yourself in there - that's what you had to do. You weren't like that Roundhouse bloke, who couldn't go back. It was all about trust, H, trust - that's why we let you in in the first place, H, we trusted you. And we still do. That's the thing, H, it was never about money; we knew you didn't care about money, we knew you were interested in us. I cried, H, I laughed, it brought back so much. You've got it all in there. It's special, H. I bet there's nothing quite like it. Because nobody's done it before. Not stuck around with Boys like us for as long as you have…"
Gary, one of the Milltown Boys
"It's great, H. I've really enjoyed reading it. I don't like everything you've said about me, but there you are – warts and all! And you're in it, like you should be. We wanted you to be more like one of the Boys, more included, more visible. And that's what you've done, H, that's what you've done."

DC takes on TV as "Doctor Pain"
By Mari-Len De
Dr. Luigi Nalli
Toronto chiropractor Dr. Luigi Nalli will soon be hitting the airwaves to host a new television show aimed at "demystifying" pain.
The show, called Doctor Pain, will be hosted by Nalli and will feature expert interviews and discussions about various aspects and symptoms related to pain. According to data from the Canadian Pain Society, about one in five Canadian adults suffer from chronic pain.
"Pain is probably the least understood symptom by health-care professionals," said Nalli, who was a 2014 recipient of the Ontario Chiropractic Association's Recent Graduate Award. "With a media outlet like TV, you can reach a much larger population and give them the right knowledge, because pain is so poorly understood."
Nalli's brother Anthony Nalli, the show's creator and executive producer, calls the new series a "fusion of good ideas."
"I found a lot of interest in the things that (Luigi) was doing and the things that he was growing more and more enthusiastic about. I actually found myself learning a great deal," said Anthony, who previously worked as a paramedic before venturing into television.
Through the show, the Nalli brothers want to educate the average people about pain and the different aspects of health and health care associated with this common condition. "I think that kind of information is very interesting and very useful… so how do we give it to people in a way that is entertaining, in a way that they will accept and welcome and absorb."
Doctor Pain targets the more youthful demographic, 26 to 45 years old. According to a press release, the 30-year-old chiropractor host will be "presented as not only a knowledgeable professional but also a cool motorcycle enthusiast and adventurous young family man well in-tune with the lifestyle and needs of the young and not-so-young alike."
Graduating cum laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC), Luigi has been in practice for three years and has a special focus on pain management in his practice. Winning the OCA's Recent Graduate Award is an indication of his relative success in practice.
"One of the things I was doing largely to help grow my practice was a lot of outreach stuff," Luigi noted. "I was basically getting in front of people and sharing my knowledge and I found that was really what got people in the door. Give someone really good information, something that we're very well trained on, and the people tend to come in."
Luigi's interest in talking to people is what attracted him to consider participating in the TV show. In addition to helping people understand and make sense of pain, the Toronto DC also believes this endeavor can help raise the profile of the chiropractic profession in the public eye and help educate them about what chiropractic is really about.
He said people often ask him how chiropractic is different from physiotherapy or massage therapy. And the difference, Luigi said, is the body of knowledge in terms of differential diagnosis of pain disorders.
"That is where I would like to raise awareness of the public for the profession – that chiropractors may be the best practitioners out there to answer your pain-based questions," Luigi said.
Doctor Pain will be a half-hour show, covering two or three topics and different subject matter experts each episode.
The show is currently in pre-production with principal shooting targeted for next spring and summer. Anthony said his team aims to launch the new series by end of next year, airing across Canada on Bell TV and in the U.S. on PBS. The series will also be available on iTunes.

RELIGIOUS FIGURES from Iran
This page contains a list of the greatest Iranian Religious Figures. The pantheon dataset contains 2,272 Religious Figures, 27 of which were born in Iran. This makes Iran the birth place of the 15th most number of Religious Figures behind Greece and Iraq.
The following people are considered by Pantheon to be the top 10 most legendary Iranian Religious Figures of all time. This list of famous Iranian Religious Figures is sorted by HPI (Historical Popularity Index), a metric that aggregates information on a biography's online popularity. Visit the rankings page to view the entire list of Iranian Religious Figures.
1. Zoroaster (-2000 - -2000)
With an HPI of 89.80, Zoroaster is the most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 112 different languages on wikipedia.
Zoroaster (, UK also ; Greek: Ζωροάστρης, Zōroastrēs), also known as Zarathustra (, UK also ; Avestan: 𐬰𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬚𐬎𐬱𐬙𐬭𐬀, Zaraθuštra), Zarathushtra Spitama or Ashu Zarathushtra (Modern Persian: زرتشت, Zartosht), was an ancient Iranian prophet (spiritual leader) who founded what is now known as Zoroastrianism. His teachings challenged the existing traditions of the Indo-Iranian religion and inaugurated a movement that eventually became the dominant religion in Ancient Persia. He was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau, but his exact birthplace is uncertain.There is no scholarly consensus on when he lived. Some scholars, using linguistic and socio-cultural evidence, suggest a dating to somewhere in the second millennium BCE. Other scholars date him in the 7th and 6th century BCE as a near-contemporary of Cyrus the Great and Darius I, while some have speculated on datings as far back as the sixth millennium BCE. Zoroastrianism eventually became the official religion of Ancient Persia and its distant subdivisions from the 6th century BCE to the 7th century CE. Zoroaster is credited with authorship of the Gathas as well as the Yasna Haptanghaiti, hymns composed in his native dialect, Old Avestan and which comprise the core of Zoroastrian thinking. Most of his life is known from these texts. By any modern standard of historiography, no evidence can place him into a fixed period and the historicization surrounding him may be a part of a trend from before the 10th century CE that historicizes legends and myths.
2. Ruhollah Khomeini (1902 - 1989)
With an HPI of 83.68, Ruhollah Khomeini is the 2nd most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 99 different languages.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini (UK: khom-AY-nee, US: khohm-; Persian: سید روح‌الله موسوی خمینی [ɾuːholˈlɒːhe xomejˈniː] (listen); (17 May 1900 or 24 September 1902 – 3 June 1989), also known in the Western world as Ayatollah Khomeini, was an Iranian politician, revolutionary, and cleric. He was the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which saw the overthrow of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and the end of the 2,500-year-old Persian monarchy. Following the revolution, Khomeini became the country's Supreme Leader, a position created in the constitution of the Islamic Republic as the highest-ranking political and religious authority of the nation, which he held until his death. Most of his reign was taken up by the Iran–Iraq War of 1980–1988. He was succeeded by Ali Khamenei on 4 June 1989. Khomeini was born in Khomeyn, in what is now Iran's Markazi Province. His father was murdered in 1903 when Khomeini was two years old. He began studying the Quran and the Persian language from a young age and was assisted in his religious studies by his relatives, including his mother's cousin and older brother. Khomeini was a marja ("source of emulation") in Twelver Shia Islam, a Mujtahid or faqih (an expert in Sharia) and author of more than 40 books, but he is primarily known for his political activities. He spent more than 15 years in exile for his opposition to the last shah. In his writings and preachings he expanded the theory of welayat-el faqih, the "Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (clerical authority)", to include theocratic political rule by Islamic jurists. This principle (though not known to the wider public before the revolution), was appended to the new Iranian constitution after being put to a referendum. According to The New York Times, Khomeini called democracy the equivalent of prostitution. Whether Khomeini's ideas are compatible with democracy and whether he intended the Islamic Republic to be democratic is disputed. He was Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1979 for his international influence, and Khomeini has been described as the "virtual face of Shia Islam in Western popular culture". In 1982, he survived one military coup attempt. Khomeini was known for his support of the hostage takers during the Iran hostage crisis, his fatwa calling for the murder of British Indian novelist Salman Rushdie, and for referring to the United States as the "Great Satan" and Soviet Union as the "Lesser Satan." Khomeini has been criticized for these acts and for human rights violations of Iranians (including his ordering of execution of thousands of political prisoners, war criminals and prisoners of the Iran–Iraq War).He has also been lauded as a "charismatic leader of immense popularity", a "champion of Islamic revival" by Shia scholars, who attempted to establish good relations between Sunnis and Shias, and a major innovator in political theory and religious-oriented populist political strategy. Khomeini held the title of Grand Ayatollah and is officially known as Imam Khomeini inside Iran and by his supporters internationally. He is generally referred to as Ayatollah Khomeini by others. In Iran, his gold-domed tomb in Tehran's Behesht-e Zahrāʾ cemetery has become a shrine for his adherents, and he is legally considered "inviolable", with Iranians regularly punished for insulting him. A cult of personality developed around Khomeini after the Iranian Revolution.
3. Esther (-600 - -500)
With an HPI of 81.81, Esther is the 3rd most famous Iranian Religious Figure. Her biography has been translated into 50 different languages.
Esther is described in all versions of the Book of Esther as the Jewish queen of a Persian king Ahasuerus. In the narrative, Ahasuerus seeks a new wife after his queen, Vashti, refuses to obey him, and Esther is chosen for her beauty. The king's chief adviser, Haman, is offended by Esther's cousin and guardian, Mordecai, and gets permission from the king to have all the Jews in the kingdom killed. Esther foils the plan, and wins permission from the king for the Jews to kill their enemies, and they do so. Her story provides a traditional background for Purim, which is celebrated on the date given in the story for when Haman's order was to go into effect, which is the same day that the Jews killed their enemies after the plan was reversed.
4. Hassan-i Sabbah (1050 - 1124)
With an HPI of 81.17, Hassan-i Sabbah is the 4th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 37 different languages.
Hassan-i Sabbāh (Persian: حسن صباح, romanized: Hasan-i Sabbāh) or Hassan as-Sabbāh (Arabic: حسن الصباح, romanized: Ḥasan al-Ṣabbāḥ, full name: Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Ja'far bin al-Husayn bin Muhammad bin al-Sabbah al-Himyari; c. 1050 – 12 June 1124) was the founder of the Nizari Isma'ili state and its fidā'i military group known as the Order of Assassins, often referred also as the Hashshashin. Since Marco Polo he has been known in the West as the Old Man of the Mountain. As a missionary, he converted the people of the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran to Nizari Isma'ilism in the late 11th century. He later seized a mountain fortress called Alamut.
5. Abdul Qadir Gilani (1078 - 1166)
With an HPI of 78.27, Abdul Qadir Gilani is the 5th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 44 different languages.
ʿAbdul Qādir Gīlānī, (Persian: عبدالقادر گیلانی, Arabic: عبدالقادر الجيلاني, Turkish: Abdülkâdir Geylânî, known by admirers as Muḥyī l-Dīn Abū Muḥammad b. Abū Sāliḥ ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Gīlānī al-Ḥasanī wa'l-Ḥusaynī, was a Hanbali Sunni Muslim preacher, ascetic, mystic, jurist, and theologian, known for being the eponymous founder of the Qadiriyya tariqa (Sufi order) of Sufism.He was born on 29 Sha'ban 470 AH (March 23, 1078) in the town of Na'if in Gilan, Iran, and died on Monday, February 21, 1166 (11 Rabi' al-Thani 561 AH), in Baghdad. He was a Persian Hanbali Sunni jurist and Sufi based in Baghdad. The Qadiriyya tariqa is named after him.
6. Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (817 - 875)
With an HPI of 78.01, Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj is the 6th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 49 different languages.
Abū al-Ḥusayn 'Asākir ad-Dīn Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj ibn Muslim ibn Ward ibn Kawshādh al-Qushayrī an-Naysābūrī (Arabic: أبو الحسين عساكر الدين مسلم بن الحجاج بن مسلم بن وَرْد بن كوشاذ القشيري النيسابوري; after 815 – May 875 CE / 206 - 261 AH) or Muslim Nayshāpūrī (Persian: مسلم نیشاپوری), commonly known as Imam Muslim, was an Islamic scholar, particularly known as a muhaddith (scholar of hadith). His hadith collection, known as Sahih Muslim, is one of the six major hadith collections in Sunni Islam and is regarded as one of the two most authentic (sahih) collections, alongside Sahih al-Bukhari.
7. Bahá'u'lláh (1817 - 1892)
With an HPI of 77.73, Bahá'u'lláh is the 7th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 78 different languages.
Bahá'u'lláh (12 November 1817 – 29 May 1892) was a Persian religious leader, and the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, which advocates universal peace and unity among all races, nations, and religions. At the age of 27, Bahá'u'lláh became a follower of the Báb, a Persian merchant who began preaching that God would soon send a new prophet similar to Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad. The Báb and thousands of followers were executed by the Iranian authorities for their beliefs. Bahá'u'lláh faced exile from his native Iran, and in Baghdad in 1863 claimed to be the prophet the Báb foretold. Thus, Bahá'ís regard Bahá'u'lláh as a Manifestation of God, fulfilling the eschatological expectations of Islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and other major religions.Bahá'u'lláh faced further imprisonment under Ottoman authorities, first in Edirne, and ultimately in the prison city of Acre (in present-day Israel), where he spent his final 24 years. His burial place is a destination of pilgrimage for his followers, as well as the direction they face for daily obligatory prayers. The Bahá'í World Centre sits in nearby Haifa.
8. Báb (1819 - 1850)
With an HPI of 76.48, Báb is the 8th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 67 different languages.
The Báb, born Siyyid `Alí Muḥammad Shírází (; Persian: سيد علی محمد شیرازی; October 20, 1819 – July 9, 1850) was the founder of Bábism, and one of the central figures of the Bahá'í Faith. The Báb was a merchant from Shiraz in Qajar Iran who, in 1844 at the age of 25, claimed to be a messenger of God. He took the title Báb (; Arabic: باب), meaning "Gate" or "Door", a reference to the deputy of the promised Twelver Mahdi or al-Qá'im. He faced opposition from the Persian government, which eventually executed him and thousands of his followers, known as Bábís. The Báb composed numerous letters and books in which he stated his claims and defined his teachings with some roots in Shaykhism and Hurufism, using many numerical calculations. He introduced the idea of He whom God shall make manifest, a messianic figure who would bring a greater message than his own.To Bahá'ís, the Báb fills a similar role as Elijah or John the Baptist: a predecessor or forerunner who paved the way for their religion. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, was a follower of the Báb and claimed in 1863 to be the fulfillment of the Báb's prophecy, 13 years after the Báb's death.
9. Ibn Majah (824 - 886)
With an HPI of 73.42, Ibn Majah is the 9th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 26 different languages.
Abū ʻAbdillāh Muḥammad ibn Yazīd Ibn Mājah al-Rabʻī al-Qazwīnī (Arabic: ابو عبد الله محمد بن يزيد بن ماجه الربعي القزويني; (b. 209/824, d. 273/887) commonly known as Ibn Mājah, was a medieval scholar of hadith of Persian origin. He compiled the last of Sunni Islam's six canonical hadith collections, Sunan Ibn Mājah.
10. Mordecai ( - )
With an HPI of 72.58, Mordecai is the 10th most famous Iranian Religious Figure. His biography has been translated into 27 different languages.
Mordecai (or Mordechai, Hebrew: מָרְדֳּכַי, Modern: Mardoḵay, Tiberian: Mārdoḵay, IPA: [moʁdeˈχaj]) is one of the main personalities in the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible. He is described as being the son of Jair, of the tribe of Benjamin. He was promoted to Vizier after Haman was killed.

Cincinnati Selects Firms To Independently Review Response To Kyle Plush Incident
91.7 WVXU | By Jay Hanselman
Published June 11, 2018 at 11:10 AM EDT
Kyle Plush
Cincinnati's Acting City Manager said Monday the city is contracting with two firms to conduct an independent review of the Kyle Plush tragedy.
Patrick Duhaney announced during a city council committee meeting Mission Critical Partners LLC (MCP) and 21st Century Policing LLC (21CP) will begin reviews immediately and prepare reports and make recommendations on their findings.
Duhaney says MCP is a 911 center expert.
"MCP will provide a comprehensive analysis of the city's 911 response to the April 10, 2018, incident," Duhaney said. "In addition, they will also provide us with a 911 center organizational analysis with a goal of indentifying the staffing, policies and procedure enhancements and leadership that the city needs in today's 911 environment as well as to help prepare for the future environment that next generation 911 will bring."
The acting city manager said 21CP will focus more on the police department response to the Plush incident.
"They will conduct a thorough review of the investigation, the policies and procedures utilized in the death of Kyle Plush," Duhaney said. "21CP will assist the city in identifying deficiencies in technology, best practices and the policies and procedures and focus on any core factors contributing to the causes of any identified deficiencies. Following this review, they will provide the CPD and the city with recommended action items that are justified and correspond with industry standards and best practices in order to prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future."
MCP will be paid $98,200 and 21CP is charging $87,500.
The mayor and all nine city council members had asked for an independent review of the city's failed response to Kyle's two 911 calls for help on April 10. He died after getting trapped in a van at the Seven Hills school parking lot.
Vice Mayor Christopher Smitherman has asked the reports and recommendations from these two groups be shared with the Plush family and council members before they are released publically. Those findings are expected in the fall, possibly as soon as September.
The acting city manager and the police department have implemented a number of changes at the city's emergency communications center and the police department following the failures in April event. More changes are in the works and will be implemented in the coming weeks and months.
Council's Law and Public Safety Committee has had the Plush investigation on its agenda for the last three meetings and it's also expected to be discussed again on June 25.

Senseless and limp like slaughtered sheep.
The shame and pity of his platoon.

Some chemical reactions in our body that help maintain the health of organisms and cells, which refers to metabolism. You must have heard people talking about high or low metabolism. And maybe you think what the hell is going on … we tell you what the meaning of what is metabolism (what is metabolism) is. The person's metabolic rate determines its calories in one day. Higher metabolism, i.e., people with a high metabolism can burn more calories and lose weight more rapidly.
On the other hand, low metabolism, i.e., people with low metabolism will face challenges in early weight loss. So do not be bothered by this, because some herbs and spices can give your metabolism a significant boost (herbs and spices that can boost your metabolism).

2. Once the water boils well enough, then put all the ingredients in it and let them taste their taste.
3. Just the decoction is ready for you. Drink it twice a day for good results.
So what are you waiting for? Bring all these ingredients together and prepare a healthy drink for yourself. But keep in mind that consult your doctor before making any changes to your diet.


Now this was a surprise. Alongside a number of excellent indie/small press titles, The Fun We've Had was listed by Liberty Hardy in her Great Big Guide to Indie 2014. Got to say, Liberty did her homework. Though you'll think I'm biased because I'm included in the list, I really do think that this is one of the more fleshed out and representative year-end lists of 2014 (so far).


I've plugged back into Texas politics to find that half the state is apparently running for governor (doesn't anyone want to run for school board anymore?).
But it could be a tough sell for the naturalized U.S. citizen from the West Bank in the wake of the Fort Hood shootings and anti-Muslim rhetoric against the accused gunman. Even before the Fort Hood incident, Shami had come under fire from a national conservative commentator who claimed his support for Palestinian rights put him in opposition to Israel….
While Shami has a history of philanthropy in the United States and helping victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, he also has a history of actively pushing for Palestinian rights. He built a girls school and a company factory for Palestinians. In a 2007 article he wrote for the Houston Chronicle, Shami complained that Israeli policies were discriminating against Palestinians and holding back development in their lands.
"The absence of economic and social freedom for Palestinians is in no one's long-term interest not Palestinians, nor Israelis, and certainly not Americans," Shami wrote.
Such sentiments brought him under fire from conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel, who suggested he is anti-Israel in a piece titled "Jihad and hair care: Meet Texas Dems' Palestinian Muslim candidate for governor." Conservative talk show hosts have been railing against Muslims because a Palestinian-American is accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood.
And here I thought his main political liability was running for governor of Texas as a Democrat.


Recently, a friend asked about fixing an Excel spreadsheet where his subscriber names were in 1 column. The problem was the cell contained the full name. He wanted separate first and last names in Excel so he could send a personalized mailing. After all, most of us would prefer getting an email saying "Hello Anne" instead of "Hello Anne Zachary". Excel has a handy feature called Convert Text to Columns Wizard that can help solve this problem.
Although this problem is about a Name field, the same type of issue can happen elsewhere. It's easy to create spreadsheets without thinking how the data will be used. I've been guilty of this myself.
The key to solving this problem is to parse or split the data. If you go to the Data tab, you'll see a Text to Columns item. It seems people dismiss this choice because their data is already in columns.
Right-click the column header that is to the right of the names you wish to split and select Insert. For example, if your names are in Column A, click Column B. This new blank column is where we will put the Last Names.
Click the column header of the column you wish to split. In my case, the names are in Column A.
From the Data menu, select Text to Columns. A data wizard appears.
Choose the Delimited radio button in the Original data type section.
In the Delimiters section, select the item that separates your data. In this example, a space separates the First and Last name.
Look at the Data preview section. If the data looks correct, click Next.
Click the first column in the Data preview section and select the Column data format type. I've kept the default Destination range.


In most previous trips I started the day early and was tired around dinner, but this time I want to explore the city by night more so I took it easy today and set out around lunch, which was a sandwich and coffee at Doutor, a cafe chain.
After lunch I headed to a nearby park to relax a bit and enjoy the sun.
Near the park you could hear music in the distance and I decided to check it out. It was a small festival with traditional musicians playing modern music.
Around four-ish I headed back to the hotel to process some photo's before heading out to Ueno station in the evening where I walked along the train tracks.
By this time people where gathering for dinner in many of the small restaurants under the train line.
Working up an apetite for myself I headed back to "my station" to try out a local noodle shop.
