Update On New Microsoft Edge Browser
Posted by Mersad On April 25, 2019
Microsoft is slowly inching closer to a mainstream release of a new version of its Edge Browser for Windows 10, this one based around Chromium technology.
Recently, Microsoft released Canary, a developer build for the new browser.
Any member of the Windows Insiders group can get access to the early build if they want a sneak peek at what's to come.
The company has promised beta builds in the months ahead, along with builds that are Windows 7.8.1 and Mac OS compatible.
If you decide to take a look at the current state of the code, it's important to remember that the new Edge should still be considered in pre-Alpha state and is focused on the basics for the time being. That means there's not a lot in terms of functionality just yet. In fact, at present, the new Edge looks more or less like the old Edge, minus language support, PDF support, tab sweeps and smooth scrolling.
Consider it to be a scaled back version of the current Chrome browser with built in MSN news feeds. As such, these early builds may be of interest to enthusiasts, developers and early adopters who want to start getting a handle on the state of things to come. Honestly though, a casual user won't find much of interest here.
While Microsoft has had a poor track record where its browsers are concerned, the hope is that their new offering designed with Chromium at the core, will be more of a success. They hope to leverage the vast strengths of industry leader Google. That, however, remains to be seen. Even so, there is undeniable value to developers and a few other select groups to get in on the fun now so they can develop a better understanding of the shape and direction of the new Edge as its contours begin to emerge.

'I Do Believe It Impeaches Him As A Commentator'
Feith just listed what he says is a host of errors of facts in Sands's book. He says there was no dissent within the Bush administration on the decision that Geneva Conventions protections didn't apply to Al Qaeda detainees. "I do believe it impeaches him as a commentator," he said with gusto.
But wait, asked Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), what about ex-State Dept. counsel William Howard Taft IV? "I don't think he said the Geneva Conventions apply to the conflict with Al Qaeda." Former Navy counsel Alberto Mora? "I don't recall." Colin Powell? "I reviewed my notes" from a critical meeting "and I didn't see that either." But alleged errors impeach someone else's standing as a commentator on national security.

Does beauty have a general origin? If so, then what is it?
As usual in nearly all cases, if you defined your terms, you'd likely find your answers. What do you say beauty is?
Beauty is the quality that hold sights or sounds that give rise to a pleasant feeling. More precisely, it is the quality of sights or sounds that give rise to a feeling of appreciation. This addition excludes for example, a pleasant feeling that is due to a sexual stimulation.
All right. So beauty is in the beholder?
It is a quality of sights and sounds that depends upon the beholder.
Ah. The sights and sounds depend on the beholder.
It's clearer to put it this way: This is a quality that is defined through the appreciation of the beholder.
Consider the concept "wanted". What is the definition of "wanted"?
The quality of things that one wants. It is the same by beauty.
Me: So, it's a something from somewhere that the beholder decides is beautiful?
You, "No, it's the quality of the thing itelf!"
Me: and that quality is?
Can't have a want without a wanter. It's the wanter's want. He (she) is the one who decides.
The quality is that it is appreciated just as the example above of "wanted."
I agree with that. The beholder decides whether something is beautiful. Although it might be yet beautiful since another beholder appreciates it.
To convert passive to active: someone appreciates. Let's grant there's something that is appreciated. But who decides to appreciate it? And why?
I mean that, even if one decided that something isn't beautiful, it yet might be beautiful since someone else decided that it is beautiful.
Two beholders agree. What do they agree on? That something is beautiful? That means that they agree - what does that have to do with the stimulus?
They agree on a broader sens of beautiful: Appreciated by an important group of people.
Circles. Somehow you have to grasp that if you're going to refer to something, it' good to be able to say something about it. Not-so-easy with the beautiful. But that does not make the problem go away.
I think that beautiful has many senses. When one says that something that is importantly accepted as beautiful is not beautiful, this refers to another meaning of beautiful.
Seriously? You define or understand something as beautiful because some group of people says it is, whether you think it or not?
I mean that beautiful will be always according to a particular beholder.
This is like the adjective "tasty."
I do not know what beautiful is. I know what I like, and I listen sometimes to the opinions of other people as to what they like. But beautiful is not-so-easy. But it's your topic. Somehow you've got to put a handle on it.
Beauty in the beholder then. Settle on that?
If there is a disagreement about whether something is tasty it is really not a disagreement and no one is wrong.
Beautiful is just like tasty i don't want to be more confusing.
Hmm. You would like us to grant that something, somehow, emanates from the thing "beheld"?
I admit that "according" is confusing and should be omitted. I'm sorry for that.
Beautiful is just like tasty, no one is wrong!

Griffin isn't the sort to forgive and forget and he's still angry at David for leaving him in the electric trap while going after Roland. What's more he didn't even kill Roland. So Griffin intends to give him a taste of his own medicine but then something changes...Warning: MATURE SEXUAL CONTENTS, M/M XD I hope you like and please review if u can. X3 ENJOY!

Warning: MATURE SEXUAL CONTENTS!, M/M, Slight Bad Language, Slight violence
I just re-watched the movie again since it was on TV and I was like, 'you know, those two are really good looking. Why don't we put them together?' But for that to happen Millie had to step aside so...I somehow am rooting for Griffin here. XD
I hope you like it and if u can, please please please leave a review! I will appreciate it greatly and it will make my entire day! Thank you very much in advance. X3
Also, I do NOT own Jumper or any of the Characters!
Griffin stared at the adjacent sky scraper. Flashy. Expensive. Stylish. Everything about it screamed New York. A nice please to live... Somehow he wasn't surprised the other had chosen this as his home base. Ever since he'd first run into him he's got the sense that David Rice was a spender. The sort of suave charmer who strived to bury his poor background in a protective cloak of material goods.
The wind tore at his long trench coat as if trying to pry it away from his frame. His usually messy hair was tangled and the weather's icy fingers pulled it back against his scalp. The pull was violent enough to nearly push him off the roof. Then again, he supposed it was natural for the wind to be wilder the higher one rose from ground level, and he was pretty high up.
Though he looked carefree on the outside, Griffin had very vigilant eyes. The result of many face to face confrontations with the Paladins in his obsessive search to find Roland Cox. His single life's pursuit. To destroy the man who was responsible for the deaths of dozens while hiding under a mask of hypocritical righteousness. Just thinking about the white haired man made his blood boil.
He'd even had the chance to end it all. The chance to finally get revenge for the deaths of his parents but then lover boy had to get all hero like. David, David, David. At least if he would have had the sense to kill Roland after but no, the guy had to find his humanity just then and strand him in the desert. That wasn't anywhere near enough to finish someone like Cox.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, Griffin remembered his last encounter with David. The time when he'd left him hanging, surrounded by electric jolts in the middle of a freaking war. Fortunately, that wasn't anywhere near enough to finish him either. But it was enough to piss Griffin off and to put David on his black list. He wasn't the forgive and forget type...
Once he freed himself from David's, admittedly well played, trap, Griffin began searching for his whereabouts immediately. It took him one month but he finally found it. New York. He should have guessed...But he also had to spend some time fixing up his busted layer. Another one of David's escapades...Him and his loud mouthed girl. What was her name? Mary?...Molly?...Marge?...Something with M anyway.
He couldn't be bothered to care about her. All he cared about was her boyfriend and it was high time to pay David Rice an impromptu visit.
David let the empty bottle drop from his loose hold. It clattered to the floor, clinking with the other empty ones. He wasn't quite able to count them, his inhibitions already lowered to the point he couldn't stand up without help, but if memory served him correctly there must have been at least five. Two days' worth of excessive drinking, of wallowing in self-pity, of slowly destroying himself in an attempt to forget the hurt.
He closed his eyes and leaned back on the three-person-seat couch, a leg trailing down to the floor. Unfortunately, as soon as he closed his eyes thoughts of her filled every nook and cranny of his imagination. Seemed like he wasn't drunk enough yet...He sighed and ran a hand down his face, his limbs as heavy as lead. Maybe if he drifted into an uneasy sleep, maybe he'd catch a few hours' break... Maybe it'll be better in the morning.
'What the blimey happened here?' David's eyes squinted opened, no sign of alarm registering across his features. He half expected a member of the Anti-Jumper Brigade yet he was perfectly calm. Death didn't seem like such a bad option now...But that was probably the alcohol speaking. Then recognition finally struck and he looked carefully at the other Jumper, not bothering to stumble to a sitting position.
'Griffin?' Even his voice was slurry. What a deplorable state he was in...
'What? Did you expect someone else to pop up in your...living room.' Griffin scanned the premises with one turn of his head and though it was a stylish place, currently it was littered with empty bottle sand cans and David's jacket was thrown carelessly on the floor in a heap by the door.
'Why are you here?' David rubbed his hand over his temple, trying to massage some of the throbbing pain of the impeding hangover away, but didn't manage to do much... He swung his legs over the edge of the couch and brought himself to an upright sitting position. The room began spinning and he had to close his eyes just to prevent himself from throwing up.
'What? Did you already forget out last meeting? Well in that case allow me to refresh your hazy memory.'
'Don't. I remember...' Frankly David just wanted for Griffin to shut up and pop right back out of his living room.
'Then you know why I'm here.' Griffin stared at the younger man and his eyebrows knotted in a frown. This wasn't exactly the way he'd though the night would go...He lost his drive to punish David once he saw the pathetic state he was in. It was like cheating at a game. It took all the fun and challenge out of it.
'Can we do this some other time? Please? I won't run, I promise.' Griffin scoffed, the noise making David wince while in his fragile state.
'Yeah, forgive me if I don't take your word for it mate. I'm not going anywhere.' To prove his point, Griffin moved inside the room and plopped on the couch beside the other, staring in front of him and kicking the empty beer cans out of the way. He was aiming for the TV.
'Can you stop doing that! It fucking hurts...' David shut his eyes and fell back against the couch back-rest. Griffin didn't say anything but he did stop.
'So what's with this mess? This a new couple's therapy thing or something?' Come to think of it, Griffin realised he hadn't seen nor heard the girlfriend yet. He still couldn't remember her name...
'Actually you're not altogether wrong with that one.' Griffin waited for David to continue but he received nothing but silence from the other party.
'Meaning?'
'Millie left me.' Millie! That was her name! Griffin clicked his fingers unconsciously and David hissed at the sudden pain. It felt like someone hit him across the back of the head with a log.
'Oh...Sorry to hear that mate. What can I say? Girls come and go.' He was never good at the chin-up-cowboy sort of speeches, especially since he never quite cared about Millie. He found her excessively loud, albeit hot, but still annoying.
'Yeah...She said she couldn't take it anymore. The life I lead, being chased by Paladins, having to run all the time. She said love just wasn't worth it...I guess it's easier to run.' Griffin resisted the almost overpowering need to roll his eyes. He would have never assumed David was a whinny sort of drunk.
'Oh for God's sake. It's a chick. She left. There will be other. Get over it.' David's jaw clenched, his eyes glaring at Griffin who didn't even bother to meet his gaze.
'She was the one Griffin. She wasn't just some chick.' Griffin finally turned to meet his blazing eyes. He was an easily riled up man and it only took a spark to get him going. He immediately went on the defensive and his philosophy was to fight fire with fire. Though he may have taken that a little too literally back in the caves when he came face to face with Roland...
'You sound like a woman. She probably left you because you're such a pussy.' Had David been thinking straight he probably would have kept calm and resisted his urge to pummel the other Jumper but he wasn't thinking straight so...Before Griffin realized it he was dodging a fist aimed for his face. David was wobbly but that didn't stop him. He pulled back and threw another punch, this one too fast for Griffin to fully avoid and he groaned when the pain spread across the right side of his jaw.
'What the fuck do you know? You didn't know her so don't you dare talk about her!' All the pent up rage rushed out of David like free flowing blood out an open wound.
'Or what? You don't like hearing the truth, that it? Well too bad Davy 'cos you were always a pussy. And she probably never loved you if she left you so easily as soon as things got a little dangerous. What was that saying? When the times get though the weak get going?' David growled and grasped Griffin's collar, pulling him up so they were eye to eye. He glared at him, his jaw clenched tight enough to hurt the muscles along it, before he shoved the renegade Jumper down on the couch, using the force of his grip to smack Griffin's head against the arm rest.
'Shut the hell up!' David straddled Griffin, eliminating the thread of a kick. Suddenly a wave of dizziness came over him and he paused in his assault, his head bending and his eyes closing to stop the spinning.
'Truth hurts doesn't it?' Griffin could feel David's laboured breath dance across his lips and his eyes unconsciously travelled down the other's face, pausing at the lips. A crazy idea began forming in his head. He knew from experience how frustrating being a Jumper trapped in a war devised by people long dead was, and he was coughing in that twisted way of living for far longer than David. He even understood how it was to love someone but to be too afraid to endanger them. To wish for their safety and their love but unable to get both. He understood how frustrating things could get and he also understood the need to blow off some seam.
Griffin arched his throat and closed the distance between their lips, taking David completely by surprise. For a handful of seconds, David did nothing, his eyes opened wide and his body went rigid with confusion. Then he suddenly pulled back and Griffin had a moment of disappointment before the younger of the two grasped his shoulder and shoved him all the way down again, descending upon the welcoming lips with fervour.
Griffin decided to give free reign to David, which was a major thing for someone like him, and he willingly opened his mouth, allowing the other tongue to explore to its heart's content. He could tell David was an experienced lover, his kisses skilled even under the stupor of alcohol. There was no point in playing hard ball since he was the one who instigated this, so when David's knee shifted ever so slightly so it rubbed against his crotch he didn't hold back a low moan. A moan which was hungrily swallowed by the other Jumper.
David didn't stop to think about what he was doing. He only knew that he wanted this, he needed this. His hands moved from the suppressed shoulders to grasp at Griffin's jet black coat. He pulled it apart and pushed it down Griffin's arms while the later aided him by slightly elevating his upper body. David's numb fingers weren't satisfied with just that however. Oh no. They tangled in the hem of the other's white shirt and pulled it upwards as far as it would go, exposing the toned, battle trained body under it.
Griffin pushed himself up, resting his weight on his elbows, moaning every time David's hands moved over his abdomen and chest, the fingertips paying extra attention to the sensitive nipples. David ground his hips against Griffin's and he threw his head back to let loose the loudest moan yet. David took the opportunity to latch his lips against the deliciously bridged throat, running his tongue along the ridged air track.
'David...At least you know she didn't leave you because she was unsatisfied.' Griffin hissed when David's teeth closed around the skin below his lips hard enough to cut it. The slight sting only added intensity to the pleasure though and the hiss soon turned into a wanton moan.
David's fingers moved to the waistband of Griffin's jeans and found the buckle of his belt. After a minute of fumbling with it, his fingers slipping around it without managing to open it, Griffin snapped. He pushed against David's chest, pushing him back and jumped from his bottom position. He straddled David's waist before the later had a chance to lash at him once more.
'You're pathetic you know that?' David opened his mouth to protest but Griffin took advantage of the dropped guard and decided it was high time for him to retake the leading role. His stubborn nature could only take so much...He pressed against David, drawing his tongue inside his own mouth but dictating the speed himself. His fingers worked to unbuckle his own belt and lower his tight jeans down his legs, before retaking his seat across David's lap. He also took the time to fully discard his white shirt, leaving himself stark naked. Except for the thin silver chain dangling around his throat, he was fully exposed.
David let his eyes roam over the many visible scars and he touched a few with his fingertips, feeling the rough skin under his touch. Still, they did nothing to mar Griffin's natural beauty. Then David spotted a black tattoo drawn around Griffin's bellybutton. A design that sort of looked like the skull of a reindeer with the horns surrounding the fleshy dip. A very nice piece of work.
'Checking out my ink? Like what you see?' David pressed his palm to the stomach, feeling the movements as air entered Griffin's lungs and his abdomen swelled. But instead of being content there, David's palm trailed further south and touched the part of Griffin which demanded most attention.
'Do you like that?' David had a teasing grin playing on his lips while Griffin bit his lower lip, a low noise reverberating through his entire body. David's hand wasn't exactly at its best, but it enclosed the length and began moving up and down in a relatively steady rhythm. Griffin ran his tongue over his lips, his hips already bucking into the pleasing hand.
'I've had better.' Griffin was saying that but his deep flush and heavy breathing told another story. While he moved his hips, he brought his fingers to his mouth and began sucking three of the digits. He swirled his tongue around them while imagining they were something else, something belonging to David. He made sure to get the digits nice and wet, letting his tongue go around them and in between them while moans continued to stream out of him with each and every one of David's jerks.
'Stretch yourself. I want to see it.' Griffin gave David a smirk but it didn't look quite as cheeky as intended. The deep blush, spreading from face to chest, the almost black dilated eyes, the wet hair clinging to his forehead, swaying with the motions of his buckling hips, all those things made him look nothing but slutty.
'You pervert.' But he moved his hand out of David's line of sight, elevating his frame and supporting his weight on his knees. David's hand didn't stop their strokes and when Griffin inserted the first finger he didn't even feel it. He was able to add all three in quick succession without feeling much discomfort. He'd done this before so he knew where his hidden switch was without having to waste time hunting for it. Between the pleasure caused by David's magic fingers and his own thrusting digits, Griffin was reduced to a moaning mess.
'You look so fucking good right now.' David wasn't content with only watching anymore. He knew Griffin was ready from the way his moans turned to whines so he stopped his hand. Immediately Griffin fixed him with a smothering glare, his hand also stilled.
'What the f-' Before Griffin had a change to complete his curse at David's address, the younger man jumped them out of the living room. The next thing Griffin knew he was smacked, back first, right into a shelf stacked with books. Cursing loudly he fell to the floor, volumes crashing on top of him while David broke into a fit of laughter. He had intended to jump them to the bed but he was off by a meter or so and instead jumped them against the wall. Well, at least they were in the bedroom. His drunken state only made the situation all that more amusing, though Griffin didn't seem to share his humour.
'You god damn wanker. You should have let me do it if you can't hold your liquor.' Grabbing hold of David's hand, Griffin moved them to the intended bed and they bounced against the softness. David was on top of Griffin and the other didn't struggle to reverse their positions.
David tangled his fingers with Griffin's, pinning him to the bed and leaned down for a passionate kiss, drawing out a nurtured moan and letting it travel down his own throat and ignite his own nervous system with jolts of pleasure. Griffin managed to untangle one of his hands and moved it to David's crotch, undoing the buttons and zipper while thanking whatever deity wished to listen for the absence of any pesky a belt, and freeing the forgotten constricted member. He moved his fingers down the hot length but didn't get a chance to do much before David slapped it away and grasped his hips, pulling him closer. Griffin spread his legs of his own volition, daring David to take him.
David thrust inside the magmatic tunnel of flesh in one smooth go, causing the other Jumper to bridge his spine in ecstasy and call the younger man's name. For a drunk, David did a pretty good job of fucking a man, Griffin suspected his first man. He was big enough that he hit Griffin's magic spot without having to look for it which was definitely a golden star achievement in the older Jumper's book.
The thrusts became wilder and more powerful as Griffin demanded, not asked, demanded harder punishment. Profanities streamed out of his mouth in torrents, mixed with moans, gasps and every other noise in between. His legs joined together around David's back and his fingers grasped at the bed sheets, holding onto it with desperation.
David pulled back and with an extra powerful roll of his hips, pushed Griffin over the proverbial cliff's edge. His mouth fell open, choked between a moan and a gasp, and his toes curled as if struck by lightning. It's been a while since he felt that sort of mind numbing orgasm and he closed his eyes, his body relaxing while David continued rutting inside him electing a soft groan or moan from him. By the time he came to, David was lying beside him, ragged breathing and eyes closing. Griffin only had to throw him a look to know he was about to drift off.
While David was recuperating, Griffin untangled himself from the other's grasp and moved to stand up. He swung his legs over the edge and was about to jump back to the living room in order to locate his scattered clothes, but a hand reached for his and stopped him. He looked over his shoulder at a barely conscious David Rice.
'Please don't go...' The hand released its grasp and David's eyes closed fully. Griffin looked in the direction of the door. Nothing stopped him from just leaving...He didn't have to stay...
'You're such a pain in the ass.' With a sigh he turned around and slid back under the covers, stretching them over David as well. He moved closer to the other, seeking the already missed body heat.
'I'm still going to give you a taste of your own medicine one of those days.' David wound his arm around Griffin's waist, bringing their bodies as close together as possible.
'Looking forwards to it...'
I bet he is...XD
Well, I hope you liked it and I look forwards to some reviews. XD No pressure, but bear in mind It will make a poor striving author very happy...FIND UR HUMANITY! XD


She's talking about Breaking Dawn.she's saying they haven't told her if they are making it a movie but told her to reread it and start thinking about it in terms of making a script, ya know?
I think it means that Melissa should start considering what she would put in the script it it does get greenlit.
I'm hoping that if Breaking Dawn does become a movie, a new screenwriter will step in. MR did not write Twilight's full potential (meadow scene, absence of integral information, etc.) and I'm sure that Summit can do better now that they can actually choose from any number of screenwriters falling over themselves to helm a Breaking Dawn. Who knows? Maybe the ideal option — Stephenie herself — will happen. Okay, maybe not Stephenie HERSELF, due to her inexperience in writing screenplays…but she could always CO-WRITE it with someone else more film-script-savvy. Who knows.
Are we sure that she actually read the books in the first place? I hope they bring in a new voice as the screenwriter, I wouldn't mind a Stephenie Meyer manifesto, considering that there was plenty already lost with Melissa's work you can only guess what the last movie would look like.
They should not change the screen writer because she already wrote the script and if they get someone else they may just mess the whole thing up so stop being a hater okay.
For all of you that have a problem with the screen writer they have now you need to stop hating. I like the movie better then the Twilight book. So i think she did a good job.
I agree. Melissa is not cool.
Im mad shes doing New Moon, cause NM is my fave.
I don't want her doing BD.
And who would wanna get a signed script from her?
They need a new script writer for sure!
Ok is everyone like totally forgeting about Eclipse? because i haven't heard it mentioned at all. why are we already talking about the Breaking Dawn movie? don't get me wrong i wan't that movie out REALLY bad but seriously what about Eclipse???
MR is already on the job of Eclipse….what's to say?
i justt hope they make itt into a movie.
& i agree with twilightfan416… no one has evenn talked about eclipse in awhilee.
we need to startt hearing more about eclipse before breaking dawn.
I don't want this woman anywhere near the Breaking Dawn script. BD is only going to work with a good script AND good director.
Why are they having her do any more after the first one? Please get a new screenwriter. Unless the director is the one who butchered the movie. Than problem solved we got a new director. But if New Moon is also butchered than why take on MR again. I don't mind that they have to take out some parts, Small parts. But when you start adding crap and rearranging parts I have a big problem with that.
I think it was a team effort of both Melissa and Catherine to make the movie the way it was (aka bad). Since Weitz has some screenwriting experience I am hoping he can repair whatever Melissa handed in for NM.
apart from some of the passion missing from the first film i thought it was pretty good, although for me its the books all day long. currently re-reading eclipse for the 3rd time.
I would like to see another script writer to have a go and actually portray NM, Eclipse and BD as they should be.
God I love the twilight saga, it makes an otherwise very mundane life much more bearable.
Leah, Jessica, Sue, Jadey, et al: We are SO on the same page.
As New Moon is in production, MR's script is something I try not to fret over. Or even think about. It sounds as if she already has a green light for the Eclipse script. GROAN!! And, it is the stuff of nightmares to think of her hands on a BD script. I choke up just thinking of it.
Even though I completely blame Catherine Hardwicke for the final version of Twilight, I know MR is equally at fault. The only thought that gives me hope is Chris Weitz. I know for New Moon he is still an unknown. But, several things I have seen have given me hope.
And, one other major point, when you listen to the commentary of Catherine, Kristen and Rob on the Twilight DVD, you hear numerous times Catherine saying we had to rewrite here and here, etc. We made this up and fixed it later in editing, I wrote this, and I wrote that, we added this at the last minute. We will probably never know if the script was so bad that Catherine raised it up, or did her endless rewrites kill it? With a new director, it is a new recipe (new ingredients). What choice do we have but to sit, wait and watch.
I think it is a good sign they told her to re-read Breaking Dawn and think about what the script will be. You know they are going to make the movie. It really needs a good director, I think a good director could work with the current screen writer and produce a good movie.
I guess I don't understand why everyone has such a problem with MR. She must be doing something right or why else would Summit still keep her on? Just a thought.
Probably because she's cheap or maybe she has worked with Summit in the past. If she was really that great Chris wouldn't have had to re-write portions of her script.
She could be working for cheap.
But in response to a few earlier posts, I don't hate MR. I just thought the script for Twilight was a train wreck. But, see my comment in post #17 about the script.
Ashley has said in an early interview that Chris has re-wrote parts of New Moon. Chris does have experience as a screenplay writer, along with being a producer, director, and knowing his CG. That's why I was happy Summit picked him. I'm just worried about Eclipse and now BD because you do need a good screenplay, especially for BD. And if the director doesn't have experience in writing (Catherine)then you're going to have another Twilight again.
The press release mentions copies of the script will be sold at the event. Does anyone have any idea how those of us nowhere near LA can get their hands on one? I've seen them floating around online, but would love to see what the "official" script looks like.
Ever since i heard the rumor about Breaking Dawn going into production and then the movie coming out later the same year i've been very scared, because clearly Breaking Dawn needs to be made into two movies. But now i'm feeling a bit releaved with the statement above. Not the part about Summit Telling Melissa to re-read Breaking Dawn but the part of Stephenie's manifesto. Obvsiously this means that SM has alot of say on what needs to stay in the movie and what could possibly be left out. Which gives me hope that SM will fight Summit on Breaking Dawn being made into a two part movie, because she clearly stated before that she couldn't possibly see it as just one movie.
This gives me alot of hope that SM has more to say then what i ever imagined.
BD the book is long enough to be made into two movies, but the climax is when Reneesme is born/Bella turning vampire. Before that and especially after that things are slow and there are a lot of details and events that could be cut out. If there was an actual fight (meaning combat) at the end then there would possibly be reason to make BD into two movies.
Hey Twifriends,Really of course they will make breaking dawn into a movie…Lets face it they wont just stop at eclipse.The fans will go bonkers.Summit does a good job of wiring up the fans,they want to make as much money as posssible. Also im sure the cast is willing to make b.dawn, its their money maker(not to sound rude).They are all a very talanted cast and i enjoy seeing them in other movies as well.Cant wait to see n.moon….
Hey does anyone what exact panel Melissa will be at for the Festival???
I think MR did okay. I mean there were parts I did not care for (the field trip into the green house, next to the bus, and the hospital) other than that it was great.
I understand why so many things were cut out like the bio/ nurse scene. It has happen in every book to film I've watched and frankly I don't mind. I think she did the best possible to combine many aspects of the book into movie form without it seeming lame or corny to twilight fans and newcomers.
I dint' think MR should be replaced and if there is any reason to believe so then it will be shown in New Moon.
I'd be happy to pay $20 for a copy of the script, but the more important question is, WHICH booth or signing area will Melissa be signing the scripts? The festival is spread all over the campus of UCLA, which 419 acres of land. I can't find her name anywhere on the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books webpage; she's not listed on the authors page, the exhibitors page, nor on any of the panels or stage schedules.
I think Melissa did a good job with Twilight. I mean it was a 500 page book. Don't get me wrong i'm a little worried about New Moon since it was all done real fast but still….idk. I think when we want something we really have a passion for, we will always worry about it, right? No matter how "good" the person in charge is because we really want it to be perfect and all.


In Lalage Snow's "Faces Of Afghanistan," you don't have to go to the battleground to witness the hazards of war; you only have to look at their eyes.
For many, the Afghanistan War has been a thirteen-year quagmire; an ill-advised, reactionary invasion by the American government immediately following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In modern memory, though, Afghanistan has been plagued with all sorts of political unrest beginning soon after World War II.
Rejecting Western influence following years of British colonial rule, Afghanistan soon allied itself with its neighbor, the USSR, in the form of its receiving financial and political aid. An early 1970s famine that claimed the lives of over 500,000 civilians popularized the communist party in the eyes of many Afghans, as they viewed the party's new platform as a sign of hope in an otherwise devastated state.
However, as Afghanistan's new president brought with him social reforms deemed too liberal–and Western–for traditional Islamic practices, Afghanistan's decisive rejections and reactions led the Soviet Union to intervene once more. Some are sure to remember the prophetic military failure of the Soviet-led Afghan Communists throughout the 1980's, when the United States supported and supplied the very militants they would depose a little over a decade later.
Amid a state destroyed, cultural institutions in ruins, and countless lives tragically lost–and all due to the intervention of a foreign power–many Afghans sought a return to what they knew, thus giving way to Taliban rule that would eventually support Osama Bin Laden's vendetta against the United States. The rest, as they say, is history.
Such intense trauma over such a sustained period of time has turned Afghanistan into an earthly perdition, fifth-to-last in mortality world-wide with no promises of improvement. Always under the thumb of foreign occupiers, frustrated citizens are hostile to the continued intervention by NATO Coalition forces. Even the Afghan soldiers that the Coalition trains and trusts are liable to attack them on patrol or back at base. Documentaries like Restrepo and Armadillo have offered terrifying glimpses of life for Coalition soldiers on deployment, recreating the paranoia, anxiety, and despair that soldiers must control to stay alive.
Lalage Snow's collection We Are The Not Dead captures this transformation in frightening detail, exposing the effects of fighting in an active war zone over a mere eight months. Based in Afghanistan, Snow photographed Scottish soldiers before, during, and after their deployment. The soldiers' youth withers away before our eyes, their cheeks starved and sunken, their faces chiseled with wrinkles, their skin made leathery by the oppressive Asian mountain sun. Most compelling of all is the noticeable dilation of their pupils, as if permanently engaged in fight-or-flight mode.
As striking as the time travel the youngest soldiers endure is the blunted-effect of the older soldiers. Frowns forever etched on their subtly warped faces, they seem to express a doubt that cannot emerge under layers of despair. Doubts about why they went and why their government stays, despair about the endlessness of this war and the inevitability of others.
The title's atypical wording is a subtle indicator of the mental twisting that war can do. A few publications incorrectly list the exhibit as "We Are Not the Dead," a denial of what the experience has done similar to the difficulty of reconciling one's morals with one's participation in war. But the correct wording is an affirmative statement, "Not Dead" invoking the zombie-describing "undead" and implying the sort of emotional erosion war does to a person.
To date, Operation Enduring Freedom has killed over 3000 Coalition soldiers and a very conservative estimate of twenty thousand civilians. This past June saw the transfer of defense from NATO to Afghan soldiers, but total troop withdrawal remains unlikely. Until then, war will continue to devastate all who cross Afghanistan's borders. If you would like to see the triptychs in full detail, you can download them at the artist's website.

Travel Book of the Week: "Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia" by Elizabeth Gilbert
Johnny Jet, July 19, 2016
"Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia" came out in 2007 and quickly became a bestseller. It was then made into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Julia Roberts. Even though the book is almost a decade old, it's still one of Amazon's bestsellers—thanks to this beautiful 10th anniversary edition, which comes complete with an updated introduction from the author to launch a whole new generation of fans.
If you're looking for a book to read on your next long flight or for some travel inspiration, be sure to pick up Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love." The book has changed countless lives by empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves. From Amazon:
"In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want—husband, country home, successful career—but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence."

Latrésie vaginale, également connue comme aplasie des canaux de Müller, consiste en l'absence ou en la fermeture anormale du vagin. Cette particularité est généralement associée à d'autres particularités de développement, notamment des formes d'intersexuation, comme un syndrome de Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser, ou encore un syndrome de Bardet-Biedl, ou un syndrome de Fraser.

Origine
La cause de ce développement est mal connue. Il est supposé qu'il s'agit d'une anomalie du développement des canaux de Müller lors du développement embryonnaire, ceux-ci ne se transformant alors pas en vagin et utérus comme habituellement.

L'atrésie vaginale est couramment retrouvée au sein de différents troubles.

Description
Deux types d'atrésies sont à distinguer : l'atrésie de type I et l'atrésie de type II.

Une infertilité est possible lorsque l'utérus est également absent, mais dans le cas d'ovaires sains, il est alors possible de procéder à une fécondation in vitro puis de recourir à une gestation pour autrui.

Diagnostic
L'atrésie vaginale peut être diagnostiquée lors d'un examen dès la naissance, où elle est alors accompagnée d'autres examens comme des radios du pelvis et des reins. D'autres fois, elle n'est détectée qu'à l'adolescence, alors que les menstruations ne se déclenchent pas (aménorrhée), ou lors de douleurs abdominales consécutives à l'accumulation de sang menstruel dans l'utérus. En cas de suspicion, des examens sanguins, des échographies et des IRM peuvent être effectués afin de vérifier la disposition de tractus reproducteur et la zone des reins. L'atrésie vaginale s'accompagne d'une infertilité.

Prise en charge et suivi
Plusieurs possibilités existent. L'utilisation de dilatateurs vaginaux a pour but la formation d'un vagin à la suite de la pénétration quotidienne de dilatateurs. La chirurgie peut être envisagée, sous la forme d'une vaginoplastie. Cependant, ces approches font l'objet de critiques à cause des douleurs qu'elles provoquent et le fait que leur succès n'est pas garanti quand elles ont lieu dans l'enfance.

Un suivi psychologique est recommandé, notamment à la suite de la prise de connaissance du diagnostic. Des groupes de paroles existent également.

With less than a month to go before the leaders of the Group of 8 nations gather at a Baltic Sea resort in Germany for their annual summit meeting, Bono, the rock star and antipoverty campaigner who helped sweet-talk, cajole and otherwise persuade them to make commitments to double aid to Africa, says most of them have fallen behind on their promise.
Italy, France and Germany have what the report by Bono's advocacy group, DATA, called "a particular crisis of credibility." Bono said in a telephone interview yesterday that their failure to increase aid has been masked behind artificially high debt-relief write-offs.
Excluding debt relief and adjusting for inflation, DATA, which stands for Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa, calculates that Germany's aid to Africa has grown only 2 percent since 2004, France's has fallen 1 percent and Italy's has decreased 30 percent.
France praised the group's detailed report in a statement, but disagreed with its exclusion of debt relief. "The freeing up of resources previously dedicated to debt service allows developing countries to increase spending to reduce poverty," it said.
Spokesmen for Germany and Italy in Washington said yesterday that they would reserve comment until the report is formally released at a news conference in Berlin today.
In its country-by-country analysis of aid to Africa, DATA found that the seven wealthy nations in the G-8 — the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Japan (the other member is Russia) — have increased aid by less than half of what would be expected to reach the goal they set in 2005 to double aid to Africa by 2010.
Japan and Britain have increased aid enough since 2004 — 62 percent and 40 percent, respectively — to be on the right path to achieving the goal, DATA said. It said the United States had fallen behind in 2006, but seems to have gotten back on track since the new Congress, controlled by Democrats, adopted a 2007 budget that gave President Bush even more than he requested for Africa — at least an extra $1 billion, mostly to fight AIDS and malaria.
"We're on a trajectory to exceed the target laid out by the president in Gleneagles," the Scottish golf resort where the G-8 met in 2005, said Bobby Pittman, a special assistant to the president and senior director for African affairs at the National Security Council.
Canada has increased aid 25 percent since 2004, still not at a rate that would double aid by 2010, DATA said. Russia, which has canceled a large amount of debt owed by African countries, did not pledge in 2005 to double its aid to Africa.
The group's report focuses on G-8 aid to Africa, but its findings are broadly consistent with overall patterns of giving described last month by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, based on figures provided by 22 donor nations that are its members. The total aid to developing countries — $104 billion — in 2006 was 5 percent below the 2005 level, the O.E.C.D. found. Aid to Africa grew 23 percent, but once debt relief to Nigeria was subtracted, it rose only 2 percent.
Richard Manning, chairman of the organization's development assistance committee, said that he was surprised that aid to Africa other than debt relief grew so slowly — and noted that such aid would have to rise at a faster pace to double aid to Africa by 2010. "I would have thought in the general scheme of things, donors would be putting more aid on the table," he said.
The economic development organization allows donor nations to write off the full face value of debt relief to poor nations in the span of a year or two, though often only a portion of the debt would have been repaid, and only over a long period of time.
Some wealthy nations, in addition to France, are likely to object to DATA's decision not to count debt relief in its calculations. The group replies that rich nations overstate the real value of debt relief to poor countries. It notes that by 2010, when aid to Africa is supposed to reach $50 billion a year, debt relief will have largely been accounted for and will no longer substantively bolster the amount of aid each country provides.
Despite the tough talk in its report, Bono, who has cultivated the rich world's leading politicians for years, expressed empathy for the laggards in Europe. He has already met with the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, the host for this year's meeting, who he said is very conscious that this is a moment when the Group of 8 will be watching to see whether Germany plays a leadership role on poverty.
Bono said that President Jacques Chirac of France had spoken eloquently of the need to support Africa, though he added that France had not yet come through with the resources. Nicolas Sarkozy, the president-elect, has requested a meeting, "which is very flattering," Bono said.
Bono said rising political support in Britain and the United States for fighting African poverty has helped strengthen the hand of those who have sought increasing aid budgets.

Q: What is best way to throw many kind of FaultException? I want to throw many kind of fault exception: validationFault, businessFault, internallServerErrorFault. What is best practice separate many different fault
validationFault - errors after validation input data to method
businessFault - any business/domain excepion - no permission, login name is not free etc.
internallSerrverError - any unhandled excepion
Each fault will be set errorCode
Scenario 1
One type FaultException. In BaseException is property with list of validationException, property for Message. Client catch this FaultException then parse errorCode and give data from properly properties
try
{
}
catch (FaultException<BaseException> ex)
{
 // in this place will be all fault exception type. From error code client must have
 // dedicated kind of fault - validation, business exception. BaseException will
 // be has properly set data for validation or business logic exception.
}
catch (FaultException ex)
{
// internal server error
}

Scenario 2
Separate faults: ValidationFoult, BusinnesFault, internalServerFault to different faults
FaultException
FaultException
ValidationFault - will be contain data for validation error - dictionary with key - property name, value - error for this property
BusinessFault - will be contain message property
Client will be catch separate this fault. Any fault in Fault exception will be internal server error
try
{
}
catch (FaultException<ValidationFoult> ex)
{
}
catch (FaultException<BusinessFault> ex)
{
}
catch (FaultException ex)
{
// internal server error
}

What are another solution for this problem ? Any sugestions ?

A: Instead of separate Fault entities, just create one common entity (maybe called 'CommonFault') and share the error details through properties such as ErrorCode, ErrorMessage, StackTrace (if the service is internal). Something like the below.
[DataContractAttribute]
public class CommonFault
{
    private string errorcode;
    private string errormessage;
    private string stackTrace;

    [DataMemberAttribute]
    public string ErrorCode
    {
        get { return this.code; }
        set { this.code = value; }
    }

    [DataMemberAttribute]
    public string Message
    {
        get { return this.message; }
        set { this.message = value; }
    }

    [DataMemberAttribute]
    public string StackTrace
    {
        get { return this.stackTrace; }
        set { this.stackTrace = value; }
    }

    public CommonFault()
    {
    }
    public CommonFault(string code, string message, string stackTrace)
    {
        this.Code = code;
        this.Message = message;
        this.StackTrace = stackTrace;
    }
}

Does jewelery hold a meaning in your life. Are you able to recognize authentic, high quality jewelry? Are you knowledgeable about the different types of jewelry? This article is entirely devoted to all things jewelry. This article will give you some great advice on all your different jewelry questions.
Keep jewelry stored safely and away from both air and humidity. To maximize protection, put your jewelry in a jewelry box or a small drawstring bag. Humid air affects the metals in jewelry and causes tarnishing. While precious metals can be polished back to their original luster, non-precious metals are only coated in which case polishing causes the copper metal underneath to show through.
When you purchase jewelery ensure you know what you are buying. Gems are divided into three main categories: imitation, synthetic and natural. While natural and synthetic stones are the real deal, imitation stones are made to look like a real gemstone, but could be anything from colored glass to plastic. While natural gems come out of mines, synthetic ones come out of laboratories.
Jewelry should be a purchase that truly lasts a lifetime. Go to a dealer you can trust to make sure you get a quality item at a fair price. Quality jewelry will be constructed to last, and show a fine attention to detail. The jeweler ought to know the history of the piece, such as its manufacturer and the source of the gemstones. Put effort into your choice, so you can be sure that the piece will last generations.
When buying a new piece of jewelry, be sure to check on the current fashion trends. Purchasing a new trinket to add to your collection is always delightful, especially if you find it on sale.
When you purchase jewelry from a jeweler, ask about their insurance policy. This is to avoid any future complications. If anything were to happen you have yourself covered and to avoid complications with that jeweler in the future, they can replace or fix it for you if you run into problems. Some stores even insure jewelry against loss or theft.
Costume jewelry should be taken care of. Many pieces of costume jewelry have the stones glued on, for example. You will need to avoid immersing your jewelry and make sure to stay away from the use of harsh chemicals. To care for it best, wipe your jewelry with a damp, warm cloth and dry it with a different cloth. This will keep any costume jewelry that you have looking great.
Avoid both steam and dry saunas. The moisture and heat can cause your jewelry to become damaged.
Comparison shopping for diamonds is critical. Every diamond is unique in both its beauty and imperfections. Once you see some of the flaws in person, they may become less important. Also, each jeweler can price point a little bit differently based on the flaws. You can make the most of your investment if you take the time to comparison shop and hunt down the best diamond that falls within your price range.
No matter why you are buying your jewelry, whether for yourself or as a gift, it is important to know the proper way to care for jewelry as well as buy and sell it responsibly. This article will provide you with tips and tricks to get the most from your jewelry shopping time and efforts.
Polish your jewelry regularly with a jeweler's polishing cloth. It will allow you to make your jewelry look as good as new without the use of chemicals. Use this two-sided cloth on your jewelry as though you were cleaning glass. First you should use the polish side, then use the shining side to really make your jewelry look stunning!
The metals in jewelry can tarnish if exposed to humid air, so you will want to store them in a way that protects them. Trying putting them in a box with a tight-fitting lid or a bag that has a drawstring closure. Continued exposure to humidity extremes or air causes metals typically used in jewelry to tarnish. It is possible to restore precious metals to their previous state, but it's better to avoid damaging them in the first place.
Do some shopping around when you are looking to buy some diamonds. Take a look at the diamonds up close, then put it next to other pieces you are interested in. Look out for tricks that make the diamond look better than it is.
If you wish to keep a piece of jewelry looking fantastic, preventing it from tarnishing is important. Never wear your jewelry when you are going to be near water. Many types of metal will become dulled, tarnished, or rusty when exposed to it. To protect your jewelry from exposure, apply a single coat of clear nail lacquer to its surface.
Caring for your jewelry properly is important; you should definitely give it some consideration. Different cleaning techniques are required for different types of jewelry. Something that may help one piece of jewelry might hurt another one. If you can't find proper treatment methods, try consulting with a professional jeweler.
Costume jewelry needs special care. Many of the costume type settings are glued-in, rather than set-in. You want to avoid using strong chemicals or immersion baths on your costume jewelry. Use a damp cloth, then dry it with another clean, dry cloth. This keeps dirt from building up and making your jewelry look dull.
Find out if your gemstone was treated before you buy it and if it was, how it was treated. Different treatments come with different requirements for cleaning and storage. You want to avoid unknowingly cleaning the gem with a chemical or solution that could strip off the protective treatment.


I love to talk to and read about authors and their work and process for writing. In our busy lives, I hear the same thing, "I need to find more time to write." With my busy schedule, there is no time to left to find. I have to make the time. I work full-time, have three children, a husband, and a house to take care of. And oh yeah, I'm a writer with back-to-back deadlines. My hours are literally all filled with tasks. My daily schedule is packed with things to do hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute. I don't have five minutes to myself. I eat lunch in my car while I wait for my kids to get out of school.
As a wife, mom, woman, I want to have it all, but I simply can't do it all. Something's got to give, so I can write the stories swirling in my brain, clamoring to get out on the page. And meet those deadlines. So, how do I make time? Well, I certainly can't neglect my kids or husband. They really get upset when I ignore them. I've found the only way to make time for my writing is to give up my compulsion to be a perfectionist in everything and let things go - until I can get to them later. So my house isn't as clean as I'd like. I just don't invite people over. I'm writing. I don't have time to socialize right now. It's March and the Christmas decorations are still up. My husband took down the tree, but I've still got cards, decorations, and lights that need to come down. Maybe I'm late - quite possibly I'm just early for this year. We'll see. I've still got two more books to write and priorities have to shift. I've missed get-togethers and lunches with friends. They understand, I'm writing.
Is the messy house, the late dinners, the missed outings with friends, the Christmas decoration still out at Easter - because you know I'm not getting to it by then - the late night and all weekend writing sessions worth it? Yes! Because when you find your passion and you make the time to fulfill your dreams it is so much more rewarding than any of those things you let slip. Your family and friends don't care about all those little things you didn't get done, or didn't do perfectly, they just want you to be happy. They love to see your face light up when you say, I have a new series coming out. I can't wait for you to read it.

When the man she loved broke her heart and skipped town, Rain Evans picked up the pieces. But along with heartbreak, Brody left her something infinitely better than she imagined: two beautiful daughters. One she gave birth to, and the other she rescued from the woman who helped destroy her relationship with Brody.
Making the time to write is definitely a challenge. I wrote much of my upcoming book in the front seat of my car waiting for my kids baseball practice. I am amazed at how much I can get done in 15 minutes between dropping my kids off at school and waiting for my shift to start at the school I work at. Even when I'm not at the computer, I'm always writing, even if it is only thinking about a sticky plot point or trying to figure out what comes between the middle and the end.
Your book sounds like a good one.
I agree that it's always so fun-and educational!-to read about other writers' processes. I'd like to add that even those of us who don't have an outside job anymore and whose kids are grown still have trouble organizing writing time. And some of us have learned over several decades how to waste more time than we should. Just know you're an inspiration and your talent and success is very well-earned. Congrats on the new book. I'm so happy for all your accomplishments!

Intellectual bankruptcy
INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPTCY…. Why is it so painfully difficult to take the Republican Party seriously in the 21st century? Because they haven't quite figured out that credibility comes with a degree of political maturity. Take Sen. Richard Shelby (R) of Alabama, for example. (via Ben Smith)
Another local resident [in Cullman County, Alabama] asked Shelby [yesterday] if there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning Obama's U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.
"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Shelby said. "You have to be born in America to be president."
According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document. In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of Obama's birth, including his parents' address in Honolulu, that was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.
This kind of stupidity took a right turn at annoying quite a while ago, and now rests comfortably in the realm of madness. When Alan Keyes launches into a ridiculous tirade about the president's birth certificate, it's not especially surprising — Keyes, based on all available evidence, is apparently not well. Anyone looking for lucidity from the poor man is bound to be disappointed.
It's far more annoying to have elected Republican officials in Tennessee signing on as plaintiffs in a lawsuit "aimed at forcing" the President to "prove he is a United States citizen."
But the Shelby example is a different magnitude of idiocy. Shelby isn't just some random yahoo with a right-wing radio talk-show; he's a four-term United States senator. He's the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee, for crying out loud. It's incumbent on him to be somewhat coherent and conduct himself with at least a little sanity.
In the broader context, the Republican Party is still unsure how to get back on the road to electoral success after years of failure and defeat. While the party mulls its options, we have a leading House Republican comparing the GOP to the Taliban; a prominent Senate Republican wanting to position the party as "freedom fighters" taking on the "slide toward socialism"; and a leading Senate Republican publicly questioning the President of the United States' birth certificate.
What an embarrassment.
It seems a little early in Obama's presidency to see Republicans become this deranged. I shudder to think how unhinged they'll be in, say, a year.
Update: Shelby's office says the local news account isn't a full reflection of the senator's comments, and that the senator "doesn't have any doubt" about Obama's citizenship and eligibility.
Second Update: While Shelby claims the local paper misconstrued his comments, the paper stands by its story. There are rumors that a video might be available. I'll keep you posted.

The Trump Administration Just Quietly Deported 25 Cambodian Immigrants

Most have spent their whole lives here. Now they're being sent to a country they barely know.


Not only is the glass of Free Masonic Lodge of characteristic decors but is also of usual and specific shapes. Why is this glass different? How was and still is Czech glass used for Free Masonic Lodges? And why was it designed by Alfons Mucha? Visitors will find the answers to these questions at this exhibition.
We will be expanding this permanent exhibition by adding more than 100 exhibits, many of which will be surprising and absolutely unique.
Reverse glass painting was a traditional folk art in Sumava as well as being the result of the work of big manufactory workshops. Each sector has developed its own different style but Czech saints have remained a permanent part of their work. In cooperation with the museums in Klatovy and Domažlice. Project by the occasion of the conference Baroque Jesuit Klatovy.
The exhibition will present the stories of the founders as well as the current work of several contemporary glassworks ateliers which focus mainly on hot decorated glass.
Yet another part of the summer cycle focusing on European glass schools.
This time the students of the High School of Applied Arts for Glassmaking in Železný Brod will be represented; all departments being taught at the school, from casting and carving glass to glass figures will be seen.
In November the days are shorter and the evenings are longer. It is a perfect time to light a candle and the inclusion of a candle holder is obvious - each person prefers a different kind. Visitors to this exhibition can see the way the students of the glass schools have perceived the candle holders for the Advent time or Christmas.

3rd Meeting of the 181st Session (2001-2002)
Mad Cows, Prions and Humans: The BSE Dilemma
Professor James W. Ironside
The National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit
Western General Hospital
In the Wolfson Suite, Ground Floor
Edinburgh University Library
George Square, Edinburgh
On Monday 21st January 2002, at 7 pm
Prion diseases are fatal neurological disorders occurring in animals and humans, caused by transmissible agents which are markedly different from any other type of virus or bacteria. The identification of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the 1980s drew these hitherto obscure diseases to the public attention as the BSE epidemic unfolded, resulting in a major agricultural and political problem.
Until the identification of BSE, it was thought that no prior disease in animals could ever spread to humans but in 1996 the National CJD Surveillance Unit in Edinburgh announced the identification of a new variant form of CJD. Subsequent scientific studies have shown that this disease is caused by the BSE agent, raising the possibility of a human epidemic.
There are a considerable number of uncertainties concerning variant CJD and its relationship to BSE � How was the BSE agent transferred to humans? As BSE increases in European countries, is the threat to humans increasing? Has BSE spread to the sheep population in the UK?
These scientifically complex disorders have raised major questions affecting health, agriculture, finance and politics in the UK and Europe. The current situation will be reviewed and data from current research identified and evaluated entirely including the possibilities of effective treatment for these devastating disorders.
