Breast enlargement is one of the most requested aesthetic procedures. A beautiful breast has a great impact on the body image and a woman's self-confidence. Thanks to the evolution of plastic surgery and the development of new technologies, breast augmentation has become one of the safest procedures and can easily be also done as an outpatient. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
However, it is of the utmost importance that implant surgery, including breast enlargement, is performed in extremely sterile conditions. Mediclinic is one of the few clinics to possess the most sophisticated equipment as sterile, safe and predictable as possible (laminar flow, 3D camera, S3 classification, computerized anaesthesia, etc).
Modern breast implants are filled with cohesive silicone-gel. This silicone filling is no longer fluid as in the past. Silicone oil leaks are excluded with cohesive gel implants. We only use high quality implants with a lifetime guarantee and meeting very strict European standards.
The art of breast enlargement is to achieve a 100% natural result so that there is no visible or palpable distinction from the real breast tissue.
The implant placement technique (best between or under the chest muscle) will largely determine the result.
Furthermore, the choice of the implant is of course critical. A softer gel padding will provide invisible edges but will be more likely to wrinkle. The implant should fit exactly into the existing breast. This requires an accurate measurement of the breast gland during the preoperative consultation. A correct volume is obviously crucial for a natural result.
The size, shape and firmness of the implants will be selected with the patient during the consultation, which will include test implants so as to give the most accurate idea of the final result. According to the wishes of the patient, the surgeon can produce a very subtle or, to the contrary, very visible result.
Pain: Pain is very individual but on average is estimated at 5 days muscle pain and discomfort.
Recovery: Household chores and office work can be resumed after 1 week to 10 days. After four weeks, you will be allowed to carry out a little more physical work. Sports with pectoral and heavy lifting are only permitted after 6 weeks.
Risks: Bleeding (the first two days after surgery), capsular contracture (the prosthesis feeling hard), moving of the implants, bad scar formation. A complication rarely occurs during the first 10 years. If, however, a problem should occur, it can of course be remedied.
Aftercare: Waterproof bandages and sutures remain for 2 weeks. A sports bra should be worn night and day for 4 weeks. The bra is intended to prevent swelling, not to hold the implant in place.
Breast-feeding is possible after breast augmentation if the implant is placed under the gland. All structures remain intact and functional. Silicone cannot possibly contaminate breast milk.
Breast Examination: A common concern is the breast examination due to breast cancer. Is breast examination still possible with an implant?
The prosthesis is always placed behind the mammary gland and "pushes it" forward. As a result, the discovery of nodules becomes easier.
During a mammogram, you should notify the radiologist that you have implants.

As I have written about several times in the past, my brothers and I were very close to our grandparents. With five boys in the house, my mom would break us up and allow my younger brother and me to stay with Gramps and Nanaw (the name I always knew my grandma by) during the summers and other holidays throughout the year. As I think back on it, I am struck by how much the world has changed since those days.
On a visit there during the summer of 1952 something occurred that I have not witnessed since that evening. Nanaw and Grandpa had been invited to supper by some a member of the church and her husband. She was anxious for Nanaw to bring us along since her youngest boy was off fighting in Korea.
We drove for quite awhile into the country outside the tiny city of Irving, Texas until we finally arrived at the home of Nanaw's fellow church member. After being exhorted to be on our best behavior, we piled out of the car and headed to the house. My brother and I were captivated by what we saw. We walked past cages upon cages of rabbits; cute, furry rabbits, everywhere! My brother and I stopped, petted and played with them.
Thinking back on it, I now realize the house was an old farmhouse, very old, unpainted and rickety. In lieu of front and backyards was bare ground populated by chickens of every size and description. Over to one side of the house was a well made of brick and wood with an old bucket on a rope set on one edge. Of course, behind the house was a good sized truck garden.
Once we were in the house we found it to be extremely crowded with old worn furniture that hadn't been moved for at least 50 years.
Nanaw's friend was busy stirring large pots and skillets full of at the wood-burning stove. The pots and skillets contained meats, vegetables and hot water cornbread (cornpone), all of which were producing delicious aromas.
Before we got settled my grandmother's friend handed me a large pot and asked to "go fetch a bucket of water" so I took the pot and headed off to where I had seen the well earlier. I gave no thought to how one "fetched a bucket of water" until I got to the well. I was standing there looking at the bucket—with a long rope attached to the bucket's bail—sitting on the edge of well-wall.
At that moment, grandpa walked up grinning and said he thought he should give me a hand. With that, he turned the bucket upside down and tossed it into the well while holding on the end of the rope. He jerked and tugged on the rope until he felt the bucket was full and then pulled it up. He then took the drinking cup from the nail on the upright post holding up the well's roof. He used it to skim the dirt and debris from the water's surface before pouring the bucket into the pot.
By the time we got back inside the house supper was on the table and as I sat down I noticed my brother looking at me with a horrified expression. Nanaw's friend then announced we would be have a feast of roasted rabbit.

Beyond the Levant: First Evidence of a Pre-Pottery Neolithic Incursion into the Nefud Desert, Saudi
Current understanding of early people living during the Neolithic period is rooted in excavation sites in the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile Crescent is home to several major innovations, including the domestication of animals and the development of cereal. The discovery of Helwan arrowheads in Saudi Arabia alludes to this hotspot of innovation and technology and suggests possible interaction between these early Neolithic peoples.
The stone tool assemblage from the site JQ-101 contains lithic types, including El-Khiam and Helwan projectile points, which are similar to those recorded in Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and Pre-Pottery Neolithic B assemblages in the Fertile Crescent. The Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) dates to c. 10,300-9,600 BP with the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) at c. 9,600-8,600 BP.

By about 3600 BC, neolithic Egyptian societies along the Nile River had based their culture on the raising of crops and the domestication of animals. Shortly after 3600 BC Egyptian society began to grow and advance rapidly toward refined civilization.
A new and distinctive pottery, which was related to the pottery of the Southern Levant, appeared during this time. Extensive use of copper became common during this time.
The Mesopotamian process of sun-dried bricks, and architectural building principles – including the use of the arch and recessed walls for decorative effect – became popular during this time.
Thinking about spending the summer in the sun and sand? Early Neolithic humans may have thought so too, although with more survival-oriented goals in mind. A recent study published in PLOS ONE suggests that early humans, who set up camp in the Eastern Mediterranean (about 10,000 BCE), may have traveled as far as Saudi Arabia in search of game and water.
In this study, researchers unearthed several types of Neolithic arrowheads in the northern peninsula of Saudi Arabia at the site of Jebel Qattar, which suggests a link between Neolithic people of the Levant—modern-day Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and Cyprus—to areas as far south as Saudi Arabia.
Arrowheads and other tools are, by and large, the main type of early human artifact observable today prior to the introduction of pottery (about 7000 BCE), and are integral to our understanding of the people who created and used them. Tools and arrowheads types, like the ones discovered at Jebel Qattar, provide researchers with evidence of early technology used for hunting.
Accurately identifying early Neolithic artifacts is a tough job—these arrowheads are over 10,000 years old, after all—and requires researchers to carefully sift out other objects uncovered during surface collection and trench excavations. In fact, the researchers discovered a total of 887 stone tools at the site of Jebel Qattar, only ten of which have been identified as Levantine types, known more specifically to researchers as El-Khiam and Helwan points.
Named for their places of origin in South Lebanon and Egypt respectively, the El-Khiam and Helwan arrowhead types are common to Levantine sites throughout the Neolithic period. This study, however, represents the first time archaeologists have discovered them in the Nefud Desert of Saudi Arabia.
Current understanding of early people living during the Neolithic period is rooted in excavation sites in the Levant and the larger area of the Fertile Crescent—the area in green on the map above—a geographical region containing parts of Western Asia, including the Levant, as well as parts of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta of northeast Africa.
The Fertile Crescent is home to several major innovations, including the domestication of animals and the development of cereal, and is often known as the 'cradle of civilization'.
The discovery of Neolithic El-Khiam and Helwan arrowheads found at Jebel Qattar in the Nefud Desert of Saudi Arabia, alludes to this hotspot of innovation and technology and suggests possible interaction between these early Neolithic peoples and that there was communication with other areas in the Levant at this time. However, because so little evidence from the Neolithic period survives intact today, our understanding of Neolithic peoples is a work-in-progress.
Nevertheless, tracing Neolithic people from the Levant as far as Saudi Arabia suggests that we may want to study broader areas when considering their trajectory. Of course, there is further exploration to be done beyond the borders of the Levant.
The Natufian, , an Epipaleolithic culture that existed from 13,000 to 9,800 BC. in the Levant, a region in the Eastern Mediterranean, had a microlithic industry, based on short blades and bladelets. The microburin technique was used.
Geometric microliths include lunates, trapezes and triangles. There are backed blades as well. A special type of retouch (Helwan retouch) is characteristic for the early Natufian.
While the period involved makes it difficult to speculate on any language associated with the Natufian culture, linguists who believe it is possible to speculate this far back in time have written on this subject. As with other Natufian subjects, opinions tend to either emphasize North African connections or Eurasian connections.
Hence Alexander Militarev and others have argued that the Natufian may represent the culture which spoke Proto-Afroasiatic which he in turn believes has a Eurasian origin associated with the concept of Nostratic languages.
Some scholars, for example Christopher Ehret, Roger Blench and others, contend that the Afroasiatic Urheimat is to be found in North or North East Africa, probably in the area of Egypt, the Sahara, Horn of Africa or Sudan.
Within this group, Christopher Ehret, who like Militarev believes Afroasiatic may already have been in existence in the Natufian period, would associate Natufians only with the Near Eastern pre-Proto-Semitic branch of Afroasiatic.
The migration of farmers from the Middle East into Europe is believed to have significantly influenced the genetic profile of contemporary Europeans.
The Natufian culture which existed about 12,000 years ago in the Levant, has been the subject of various archeological investigations as the Natufian culture is generally believed to be the source of the European and North African Neolithic.
The change from hunting and gathering to agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution was a watershed in world history. The societies that first made the change to agriculture are believed to have lived in the Middle East around 10,000 BCE. Agriculture was introduced into Europe by migrating farmers from the Middle East.
According to the demic diffusion model, these Middle Eastern farmers either replaced or interbred with the local hunter-gather populations that had been living in Europe since the "out of Africa" migration.
It has been suggested that the first Middle Eastern farmers had North African influences. There have been suggestions that some genetic lineages found in the Middle East arrived there during this period.
The first Agricultural societies in the Middle East are generally thought to have emerged from the Natufian Culture, which existed in Palestine from 12,000 BCE-10,000 BCE. An important migration from North Africa across the Sinai appears to have occurred before the formation of the Natufian.
According to Bar-Yosef the Natufian culture emerged from the mixing of the Kebaran or Kebarian culture (c. 18,000 to 12,500 BC), indigenous to the Levant, and the Mushabian (14,000 BC), also indigenous to the Levant.
Although the Mushabian industry was once thought to have originated in the Nile Valley it is now known to have originated in the previous lithic industries of the Levant and the eastern Mediterranean area.
The Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert were formidable barriers to gene flow between Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. But Europe was periodically accessible to Africans due to fluctuations in the size and climate of the Sahara.
At the Strait of Gibraltar, Africa and Europe are separated by only 15 km of water. At the Suez, Eurasia is connected to Africa forming a single land mass. The Nile river valley, which runs from East Africa to the Mediterranean Sea served as a bidirectional corridor in the Sahara desert, that frequently connected people from Sub-Saharan Africa with the peoples of Eurasia.
Modern analyses comparing 24 craniofacial measurements reveal a predominantly cosmopolitan population within the pre-Neolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age Fertile Crescent, supporting the view that a diverse population of peoples occupied this region during these time periods.
In particular, evidence demonstrates the presence of North European, Central European, Saharan and strong Sub-Saharan African presence within the region, especially among the Epipalaeolithic Natufians of Israel.
These studies further argue that over time the Sub-Saharan influences would have been "diluted" out of the genetic picture due to interbreeding between Neolithic migrants from the Near East and indigenous hunter-gatherers whom they came in contact with.
Ricaut et al. (2008) associate the Sub-Saharan influences detected in the Natufian samples with the migration of E1b1b lineages from East Africa to the Levant and then into Europe.
Entering the late mesolithic Natufian culture, the E1b1b1a2 (E-V13) sub-clade has been associated with the spread of farming from the Middle East into Europe either during or just before the Neolithic transition. E1b1b1 lineages are found throughout Europe, but are distributed along a South-to-North cline, with a E1b1b1a mode in the Balkans.
"Recently, it has been proposed that E3b originated in sub-Saharan Africa and expanded into the Near East and northern Africa at the end of the Pleistocene. E3b lineages would have then been introduced from the Near East into southern Europe by immigrant farmers, during the Neolithic expansion".
Also, "a Mesolithic population carrying Group III lineages with the M35/M215 mutation expanded northwards from sub-Saharan to North Africa and the Levant. The Levantine population of farmers that dispersed into Europe during and after the Neolithic carried these African Group III M35/M215 lineages, together with a cluster of Group VI lineages characterized by M172 and M201 mutations".
Although a migration of people from Africa bringing E-M78 lineages into the Levant took place c. 14,700 years ago it as yet cannot be linked with any of the Levantine cultures at the time (Hamran, Mushabian, Ramonian, Kebaran) or later (Natufian, Harifian, Khiamian) since all are known to have originated in the Levant.
Since a material culture cannot be connected with the E-M78 immigrants into the Levant it is likely they were assimilated into the various Levantine cultures beginning with the Ramonian culture, which was present in the Sinai 14,700 years ago.
This migration coincided with the population overflow in the Sinai and Negev that caused the Geometric Kebarans to fall back to the Mediterranean core area which in turn caused them to develop the Natufian culture as a result of the population increase in the Mediterranean park forest.
The Helwan Retouch, named for their place of origin in Egypt, was a bifacial microlithic flint-tool fabrication technology characteristic of the Early Natufian culture in the Levant, a region in the Eastern Mediterranean (12,500 BP – 11,000 BP) such as the Harifian culture.
Helwan arrowhead types are common to Levantine sites throughout the Neolithic period. The decline of the Helwan Retouch was largely replaced by the "backing" technique and coincided with the emergence of microburin methods, which involved snapping bladelets on an anvil.
Natufian lithic technology throughout the usage of the Helwan Retouch was dominated by lunate-shaped lithics, such as picks and axes and especially sickles (which were predominantly—at least 80% of the time—used for harvesting wild cereals).
In the late Natufian, the Harif-point, a typical arrowhead made from a regular blade, became common in the Negev. Some scholars use it to define a separate culture, the Harifian, a specialized regional cultural development of the Epipalaeolithic of the Negev Desert.
The Harifian corresponds to the latest stages of the Natufian culture. According to scholarly opinion the Harifian culture is derived from the Natufian culture in which the only characteristic that distinguishes it from the Natufian is the Harif point. It is viewed as an adaptation of Natufian hunter gatherers to the Negev and Sinai.
Like the Natufian, it is characterized by semi-subterranean houses. These are often more elaborate than those found at Natufian sites. For the first time arrowheads are found among the stone tool kit.
Andy Burns states "The Harifian dates to between approximately 10,800/10,500bp and 10,000/10,200bp. It is restricted to the Sinai and Negev, and is probably broadly contemporary with the Late Natufian or Pre-Pottery Neolithic A.
Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) denotes the first stage in early Levantine Neolithic culture, dating around 8000 to 7000 BC. Archaeological remains are located in the Levant ne and upper Mesopotamia region of the Fertile Crescent.
Microlithic points are a characteristic feature of the industry, with the Harif point being both new and particularly diagnostic – Bar-Yosef (1998) suggests that it is an indication of improved hunting techniques. Lunates, isosceles and other triangular forms were backed with retouch, and some Helwan lunates are found. This industry contrasts with the Desert Natufian which did not have the roughly triangular points in its assemblage.
There are two main groups within the Harifian. One group consists of ephemeral base camps in the north of Sinai and western Negev, where stone points comprise up to 88% of all microliths, accompanied by only a few lunates and triangles.
The other group consists of base camps and smaller campsites in the Negev and features a greater number of lunates and triangles than points. These sites probably represent functional rather than chronological differences.
The Khiamian (also referred to as El Khiam or El-Khiam) is a period of the Near-Eastern Neolithic, marking the transition between the Natufian and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A. Some sources date it from about 10,000 to 9,500 BCE. It currently dates between 10,200 and 8800 BC according to the ASPRO chronology.
The Khiamian owes its name to the site of El Khiam, situated on banks of the Dead Sea, where researchers have recovered the oldest chert arrows heads, with lateral notchs, the so-called "El Khiam points". They have served to identify sites of this period, which are found in Israel, as well as in Jordan (Azraq), Sinai (Abu Madi), and to the north as far as the Middle Euphrates (Mureybet).
Aside from the appearance of El Khiam arrow heads, the Khiamian is placed in the continuity of the Natufian, without any major technical innovations. However, for the first time houses were built on the ground level itself, and not half below ground as was previously done.
Otherwise, the bearers of the El Khiam culture were still hunter-gatherers, and agriculture at that time was then still rather primitive, based on what has been reported on sites of this period.
Newer discoveries show that in the Middle East and Anatolia some experiments with agriculture were being made by 10,900 BC., and that there may already have been experimenting with wild grain processing by around 19,000 BC at Ohalo II.
The Khiamien also sees a change occur in the symbolic aspects of culture, as evidenced by the appearance of small female statuettes, as well as by the burying of aurochs skulls. According to Jacques Cauvin, it is the beginning of the worship of the Woman and the Bull, as evidenced in the following periods of the Near-Eastern Neolithic.
The Halfan culture flourished along the Nile Valley of Egypt and Nubia between 20,000 and 15,000 BC. They survived on a diet of large herd animals and the Khormusan, which depended on specialized hunting, fishing, and collecting techniques for survival, tradition of fishing.
Greater concentrations of artifacts indicate that they were not bound to seasonal wandering, but settled for longer periods. They descended from a common ancestor as the the Ibero-Maurusian industry, which spread across the Sahara and into Spain.
The Iberomaurusian culture is a backed bladelet industry found throughout the Maghreb. The industry was originally described in 1909 by the French scholar Pallary, at the site of Abri Mouillah. Other names for the industry have included "Mouillian" and "Oranian".
Recent fieldwork indicates that the culture existed in the region from around the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), at 20,000 BP, until the Younger Dryas.
The culture is succeeded by the Capsian (10,000 to 6,000 BCE.), a Mesolithic culture of the Maghreb, which was originally thought to have expanded into the Maghreb from the Near East, although later studies have indicated that the Iberomaurusian were the progenitors of the Capsian.
Mechta-Afalou, or Mechtoid, are an extinct people of North Africa. Mechtoids inhabited Northern Africa during late Paleolithic and Mesolithic (Ibero-Maurusian archaeological culture). Mechtoids were assimilated during Neolithic and early Bronze Age by bearers of Afrasian languages.
Anatomically, Capsian populations were traditionally classed into two variegate types: Proto-Mediterranean and Mechta-Afalou on the basis of cranial morphology. Some have argued that they were immigrants from the east, whereas others argue for population continuity based on physical skeletal characteristics and other criteria, et cetera.
The Mediterranean race (sometimes Mediterranid race) is one of the sub-races into which the Caucasian race was categorized by most anthropologists in the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries.
According to various definitions, it was said to be prevalent in Southern and Southeastern Europe (including Southern France and Romania), in North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia, in Latin America (through Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian ancestry), and in certain parts of the British Isles and Germany.
In 2012, National Geographic Society released a new Genealogical DNA test which enables members of the public to participate in the Genographic Project. The test included a Mediterranean genetic component among its 43 reference populations.
The component was found at its highest frequencies in individuals from the Levant, Nort Africa, Southern Europe, the Caucasus and Iran – people from Sardinia (67%), Lebanon (66%), Egypt (65%), Tunisia (62%), Georgia (61%), Kuwait (57%), Greece (54%), Italy (54%), Iberian peninsula (48%), Northern Caucasus (46%), and Iran (42%) in their reference populations.
It is also found at lower frequencies throughout the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. According to the authors, this component is "likely the signal of the Neolithic population from the Middle-east, beginning around 8,000 years ago, likely from the western part of the Fertile Crescent."
Given its widespread occurrence in the Sahara, the Capsian culture is identified by some historical linguists as a possible ancestor of the speakers of modern Afroasiatic languages of North Africa which includes the Berber languages in North Africa.
In summary the various lines of evidence, used to argue for derivation of the Capsian from the east, in fact suggest the opposite, and simpler conclusion of continuity between the Iberomaurusian and Capsian. In the early Holocene as the Iberomaurusian populations moved inland to take advantage of the improved climatic conditions at the end of the Pleistocene adaptive divergence occurred resulting in inter-regional variability.
During this period, the environment of the Maghreb was open savanna, much like modern East Africa, with Mediterranean forests at higher altitudes. The Capsian diet included a wide variety of animals, ranging from aurochs and hartebeest to hares and snails; there is little evidence concerning plants eaten. During the succeeding Neolithic of Capsian Tradition, there is evidence from one site, for domesticated, probably imported, ovicaprids.
Nothing is known about Capsian religion, but their burial methods suggest a belief in an afterlife. Decorative art is widely found at their sites, including figurative and abstract rock art, and ochre is found coloring both tools and corpses.
Ostrich eggshells were used to make beads and containers; seashells were used for necklaces. The Ibero-Maurusian practice of extracting the central incisors continued sporadically, but became rarer.
The period from 9000 to 6000 BC has left very little in the way of archaeological evidence. However, Harifian has close connections with the late Mesolithic cultures of Fayyum and the Eastern Deserts of Egypt, whose tool assemblage resembles that of the Harifian. The Fayum A culture is dated to 5200 BC.
Around 6000 BC, Neolithic settlements appear all over Egypt. Studies based on morphological, genetic, and archaeological data have attributed these settlements to migrants from the Fertile Crescent returning during the Egyptian and North African Neolithic, possibly bringing agriculture to the region. Both pottery, lithics, and economy with Near Eastern characteristics, and lithics with African characteristics are present in the Fayum A culture.
Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) denotes the first stage in early Levantine Neolithic culture, dating around 8000 to 7000 BC. Archaeological remains are located in the Levantine and upper Mesopotamian region of the Fertile Crescent.
The time period is characterized by tiny circular mud brick dwellings, the cultivation of crops, the hunting of wild game, and unique burial customs in which bodies were buried below the floors of dwellings.
The Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and the following Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) were originally defined by Kathleen Kenyon in the type site of Jericho (Palestine). During this time, pottery was not in use yet. They precede the ceramic Neolithic (Yarmukian). PPNA succeeds the Natufian culture of the Epipaleolithic (Mesolithic).
Like the earlier PPNA people, the PPNB culture developed from the Earlier Natufian but shows evidence of a northerly origin, possibly indicating an influx from the region of north eastern Anatolia.
The culture disappeared during the 8.2 kiloyear event, a term that climatologists have adopted for a sudden decrease in global temperatures that occurred approximately 8,200 years before the present, or c. 6200 BC, and which lasted for the next two to four centuries.
In the following Munhatta and Yarmukian post-pottery Neolithic cultures that succeeded it, rapid cultural development continues, although PPNB culture continued in the Amuq valley, where it influenced the later development of Ghassulian culture. Work at the site of 'Ain Ghazal in Jordan has indicated a later Pre-Pottery Neolithic C period which existed between 8,200 and 7,900 BP.
Juris Zarins has proposed that a Circum Arabian Nomadic Pastoral Complex, a group of cultures that invented nomadic pastoralism in the period from the climatic crisis of 6200 BC, partly as a result of an increasing emphasis in PPNB cultures upon animal domesticates, and a fusion with Harifian hunter gatherers in Southern Palestine, with affiliate connections with the cultures of Fayyum and the Eastern Desert of Egypt.
Cultures practicing this lifestyle may have been the original culture which spread Proto-Semitic languages throughout the Southwest Asian region down the Red Sea shoreline and moved east from Syria into southern Iraq.
The Semitic family is a member of the larger Afroasiatic family, all of whose other five or more branches have their origin in North Africa and North East Africa. Largely for this reason, the ancestors of Proto-Semitic speakers were originally believed by some to have first arrived in the Middle East from North Africa, possibly as part of the operation of the Saharan pump, around the late Neolithic.
The earliest attestations of a Semitic language are in Akkadian, dating to ca. the 23rd century BC and Eblaite, but earlier evidence of Akkadian comes from personal names in Sumerian texts circa 2800 BC. Researchers in Egypt also claim to have discovered Canaanite snake spells that "date from between 3000 and 2400 BC". The specific appearance of the donkey (an African animal) in Proto-Semitic but total absence of any reference to wheeled vehicles rather narrowly dates Proto-Semitic to between 3,800 BC and 3,500 BC.
In one interpretation, Proto-Semitic itself is assumed to have reached the Arabian Peninsula by approximately the 4th millennium BC, from which Semitic daughter languages continued to spread outwards.
When written records began in the late 4th millennium BC, the Semitic-speaking Akkadians (Assyrians/Babylonians) were entering Mesopotamia from the deserts to the west, and were probably already present in places such as Ebla in Syria. Akkadian personal names began appearing in written record in Mesopotamia from the late 29th Century BC.
Semiticists have put importance in locating the urheimat of the Proto-Semitic language since all modern Semitic languages can be traced back to a common ancestor. The urheimat of the Proto-Semites cannot be determined without considering the larger Afro-Asiatic family to which it belongs. The previously popular Arabian urheimat hypothesis has been largely abandoned since the region could not have supported massive waves of emigration before the domestication of camels in the second millennium BC.
Diakonoff sees Semitic originating between the Nile Delta and Canaan as the northernmost branch of Afroasiatic. A recent Bayesian analysis of alternative Semitic histories supports the latter possibility and identifies an origin of Semitic languages in the Levant around 3,750 BC with a single introduction from southern Arabia into Africa around 800 BC.
According to the proponents of this theory, the non-Semitic toponyms preserved in Akkadian and Palaeosyrian languages suggest that Syria and Mesopotamia were originally inhabited by a non-Semitic population. Edward Lipinski believes that support for an African origin is provided by the relationship between Afro-Asiatic and the Niger–Congo languages, whose urheimat probably lies in Nigeria-Cameroon.
He states that the most numerous isoglosses and lexicostatistical convergences link proto-Semitic to Libyco-Berber and that proto-Semitic speakers were still living in the Neolithic Subpluvial in the 5th millennium BC when the Sahara was much wetter, retaining a link with Berber long after other Egyptic and Proto-Chadic separated.
Rock drawings attest to a vibrant Neolithic culture in the Sahara that collapsed due to desertification and climate change ca. 3500 BC, forcing the Proto-Semites to emigrate en masse through the Nile Delta to western Asia. They were probably responsible for the collapse of the Ghassulian culture in Palestine around 3300 BC.
Another indication of the arrival of the proto-Semitic culture is the appearance of tumuli in 4th and 3rd millennium Palestine, which were typical characteristic of Neolithic North Africa. It is possible that at this point, the ancestors of the speakers of Elamite moved towards Iran, although the inclusion of Elamite in Afroasiatic is only contemplated by a tiny minority.
The earliest wave of Semitic speakers were the Akkadians, who entered the fertile crescent via Palestine and Syria and eventually founded the first Semitic empire at Kish. Their relatives, the Amorites, followed them and settled Syria before 2500 BC.
The collapse of the Bronze Age culture in Palestine led the Southern Semites southwards, where they reached the highlands of Yemen after 2000 BC. Those crossed back to the Horn of Africa between 1500–500 BC.
By the late 3rd millennium BC, East Semitic languages, such as Akkadian and Eblaite, were dominant in Mesopotamia and north east Syria, while West Semitic languages, such as Amorite, Canaanite and Ugaritic, were probably spoken from Syria to the Arabian Peninsula, although Old South Arabian is considered by most people to be South Semitic despite the sparsity of data.
The Akkadian language of Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia had became the dominant literary language of the Fertile Crescent, using the cuneiform script that was adapted from the Sumerians around 2000 BC.
Settler colonists from the Near East would most likely have merged with the indigenous cultures resulting in a mixed economy with the agricultural aspect of the economy increasing in frequency through time, which is what the archaeological record more precisely indicates.
However, other regions in Africa independently developed agriculture at about the same time: the Ethiopian highlands, the Sahel, and West Africa. Moreover, some morphological and post-cranial data has linked the earliest farming populations at Fayum, Merimde, and El-Badari, to local North African Nile populations.
The archaeological data suggests that Near Eastern domesticates were incorporated into a pre-existing foraging strategy and only slowly developed into a full-blown lifestyle, contrary to what would be expected from settler colonists from the Near East. People of this period, unlike later Egyptians, buried their dead very close to, and sometimes inside, their settlements.
Although archaeological sites reveal very little about this time, an examination of the many Egyptian words for "city" provide a hypothetical list of reasons why the Egyptians settled. In Upper Egypt, terminology indicates trade, protection of livestock, high ground for flood refuge, and sacred sites for deities.
By about 5500 BC, small tribes living in the Nile valley had developed into a series of cultures demonstrating firm control of agriculture and animal husbandry, and identifiable by their pottery and personal items, such as combs, bracelets, and beads. The largest of these early cultures in upper (Southern) Egypt was the Badari, which probably originated in the Western Desert; it was known for its high quality ceramics, stone tools, and its use of copper.
From about 5000 to 4200 BC the Merimde culture, a Neolithic culture which corresponds in its later phase to the Faiyum A culture and the Badari cultures in Predynastic Egypt, so far only known from a big settlement site at the edge of the Western Delta, flourished in Lower Egypt. The culture has strong connections to the Faiyum A culture as well as the Levant. People lived in small huts, produced a simple undecorated pottery and had stone tools.
Burials had unique characteristics, different from those of practiced in Upper Egyptian Predynastic Egypt and later Dynastic Egypt. There were no separate areas for cemeteries and the dead were buried within the settlement in a contracted position in oval pits without grave goods and offerings. In the time of the Maadi culture, the place was used as a cemetery.
Cattle, sheep, goats and pigs were held. Wheat, sorghum and barley were planted. The Merimde people buried their dead within the settlement and produced clay figurines. The first Egyptian lifesize head made of clay comes from Merimde.
The Maadi culture (also called Buto Maadi culture) is the most important Lower Egyptian prehistoric culture contemporary with Naqada I and II phases in Upper Egypt. The culture is best known from the site Maadi near Cairo, but is also attested in many other places in the Delta to the Fayum region.
Copper was known, and some copper adzes have been found. The pottery is simple and undecorated and shows, in some forms, strong connections to Southern Israel. People lived in small huts, partly dug into the ground. The dead were buried in cemeteries, but with few burial goods.

In 1987 Frank Sinatra performed his last major acting role; if you know what that role was, you must be a true die-hard fan because it definitely wouldn't be a likely first, or second, guess. His last major film role was in the 1980 movie, The First Deadly Sin, but in '87 he guest starred in a two-hour special episode of Magnum, P.I. and if you think there's a story surrounding this appearance, you're correct.
Sure, Ol' Blue Eyes looked a little older, but he didn't show his age while playing a retired New York City cop who is out for vengeance because his granddaughter was brutally murdered with the killers fleeing to Hawaii. True to Sinatra's style, it's a forceful performance as he showed off some of those abilities that won him Academy Awards.
Apparently it was Frank that really wanted to be on the show, so when he was contacted to be asked what sort of role he'd like to play, he replied, "I don't know, just make sure I get to beat somebody up." What's more, he offered to appear for free… sort of. He waived his fee, telling them they'd only need to cover his expenses, which ended up totalling a paltry $250,000.
The episode turned out to be the highest rated in over two years for Magnum, P.I., prompting CBS to renew it for another season even though Selleck had committed to three movie roles. Sinatra even agreed to appear in another episode as the same character if schedules would allow it, but unfortunately that never happened.
Watching the episode today almost brings tears to my eyes, Frank's that good. Plus, it shows how he's missed and how badly we could use someone today as special as he was.

The order Trigonotarbida is an extinct group of arachnids whose fossil record extends from the late Silurian to the early Permian (c. 419 to 290 million years ago).[1] These animals are known from several localities in Europe and North America, as well as a single record from Argentina. Trigonotarbids can be envisaged as spider-like arachnids, but without silk-producing spinnerets. They ranged in size from a few millimetres to a few centimetres in body length and had segmented abdomens, with the tergites across the backs of the animals' abdomens, which were characteristically divided into three or five separate plates.[1] Probably living as predators on other arthropods, some later trigonotarbid species were quite heavily armoured and protected themselves with spines and tubercles. About seventy species are currently known, with most fossils originating from the Carboniferous Coal Measures. In July 2014 scientists used computer graphics to re-create a possible walking gait for the animal.[2][3]
Kreischeria fossil in Vienna
The first trigonotarbid was described in 1837 from the Coal Measures of Coalbrookdale in England by the famous English geologist Dean William Buckland.[4] He believed it to be a fossil beetle and named it Curculoides prestvicii. A much better preserved example was later discovered from Coseley near Dudley; also in the English West Midlands conurbation. Described in 1871 by Henry Woodward,[5] he correctly identified it as an arachnid and renamed it Eophrynus prestvicii – whereby the genus name comes from ἠώς (eos, meaning 'dawn'), and Phrynus, a genus of living whip spider (Amblypygi). Woodward subsequently described another trigonotarbid, Brachypyge carbonis, from the Coal Measures of Mons in Belgium;[6] although this fossil is only known from the abdomen and was initially mistaken for the back end of a crab.
A new arachnid order
In 1882, the German zoologist Ferdinand Karsch described a number of fossil arachnids from the Coal Measures of Neurode in Silesia (now Poland), including one he named Anthracomartus voelkelianus in honour of Herr Völkel, the foreman of the mine where it was discovered.[7] This species was raised to a new, extinct, arachnid order which Karsch called Anthracomarti. The name is derived from ἄνθραξ (anthrax), the Greek word for coal. A number of other fossils which would eventually be placed in Trigonotarbida were discovered around this time. Hans Bruno Geinitz described Kreischeria wiedei from the Coal Measures of Zwickau in Germany,[8] although he interpreted it as a fossil pseudoscorpion. Johann Kušta described Anthracomartus krejcii[9] from Rakovník in the Czech Republic, and published further descriptions in a number of subsequent papers.[10][11][12] In 1884, Samuel Hubbard Scudder described Anthracomartus trilobitus from Fayetteville, Arkansas – the first trigonotarbid from North America.[13]
Early studies tended to confuse trigonotarbids with other living or extinct groups of arachnids; particularly harvestmen (Opiliones). Petrunkevitch's division of the trigonotarbids into two, unrelated, orders was noted above. In detail, he divided the arachnids into suborders based on the width of the division between the two parts of the body (the prosoma and opisthosoma). Anthracomartida and another extinct order, Haptopoda, were grouped into a subclass Stethostomata defined by a broad division of the body and downward-hanging mouthparts. Trigonotarbida was placed in its own subclass Soluta and defined as having a division of the body which was variable in width. Petrunkevitch's scheme was largely followed in subsequent studies of fossil arachnids.
Pantetrapulmonata
In the 1980s, Bill Shear and colleagues[14] carried out an important study on well preserved Mid Devonian trigonotarbids from Gilboa, New York. They questioned whether it was appropriate to define a group of animals on a variable character state and carried out the first cladistic analysis of fossil and living arachnids. They showed that trigonotarbids are closely related to a group of arachnids which have gone under various names (Caulogastra, Arachnidea, etc.), but for which the name Tetrapulmonata has become most widespread.[15] Members of the Tetrapulmonata include spiders, whip spiders, whip scorpions and Schizomida and, together with trigonotarbids, share characters like two pairs of book lungs and similar mouthparts with fangs operating rather like a pocket knife. In a 2007 study of arachnid relationships, the Shear et al. hypothesis was largely supported and a group Pantetrapulmonata was proposed which comprises Trigonotarbida + Tetrapulmonata.[16] This has since been corroborated in more recent cladistic analyses.[17]
Trigonotarbids and ricinuleids
In 1892, Ferdinand Karsch suggested that the rare and rather bizarre looking ricinuleids (Ricinulei) were the last living descendants of the trigonotarbids.[18] A similar hypothesis was reintroduced by Dunlop,[19] who pointed out distinct similarities between these arachnid groups. Both have opisthosomal tergites divided into median and lateral plates and both have a complicated coupling mechanism between the prosoma and the opisthosoma which 'locks' the two halves of the body together. Although cladistic analysis has tended to recover ricinuleids in their traditional position closely related to mites and ticks, further discoveries have revealed that the tip of the pedipalp ends in a small claw in both trigonotarbids and ricinuleids.[20][21]
Internal relationships
The first cladistic analysis of the trigonotarbids was published in 2014.[22] This recovered the families Anthracomartidae, Anthracosironidae, and Eophrynidae as monophyletic. In contrast Trigonotarbidae, Aphantomartidae, Palaeocharinidae, and Kreischeriidae were not. Two clades were consistently recovered with strong support - (Palaeocharinus (Archaeomartidae + Anthracomartidae)), and Lissomartus as sister group the 'eophrynid assemblage' (Aphantomartus (Alkenia (Pseudokreischeria (Kreischeria (Eophrynus + Pleophrynus))))).
Trigonotarbids superficially resemble spiders, but can be easily recognised by having tergites on the dorsal side of the abdomen divided into median and lateral plates.[23] This character is shared with ricinuleids (Ricinulei) (see also Relationships). As in other arachnids, the body is divided into a prosoma (or cephalothorax) and opisthosoma (or abdomen). Body length ranges from a couple of millimetres up to about 5 cm (2.0 in).[24]
Prosoma
The prosoma is covered by the carapace and always bears a pair of median eyes.[1] In the probably basal families Palaeocharinidae, Anthracomartidae – and perhaps also Anthracosironidae – there is an additional pair of lateral eye tubercles which, at least in palaeocharinids,[25] appear to have borne a series of individual lenses. In this sense palaeocharinids seem to be in the process of reducing a compound eye.
The chelicerae are of the "pocket-knife" type consisting of a basal segment and a sharp, curving fang.[1] The chelicerae are described as paleognathic: the fangs are held parallel to one another, like those of mesothele and mygalomorph spiders, but the chelicerae hang downwards like those of araneomorph spiders.[26] There is no evidence in well-preserved fossils for the opening of a venom gland, thus trigonotarbids were probably not venomous. The chelicerae may have been slightly retractable into the prosoma. Well preserved palaeocharinids show evidence for a small, slit-like mouth with an upper lip (a labrum or rostrum) and a lower lip (or labium). Inside the mouth there is some sort of filtering system[27] formed from hairs or platelets which strongly suggests that trigonotarbids (like spiders and many other arachnids) could only eat preorally digested, liquified prey.
The pedipalps have the typical arachnid structure with a coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia and tarsus. They are pediform, i.e. they look like small legs and were not modified into pincers. There is no evidence for a special sperm transfer device as in the modified palpal organ of male spiders. Interestingly, in at least the palaeocharinids and anthracomartids the tip of the pedipalp is modified into a small claw formed from the tarsal claw (or apotele) and a projection from the tarsus. As mentioned above, a very similar arrangement is seen at the end of the pedipalp in Ricinulei.
The walking legs again follow the typical arachnid plan with a coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus.[1] The coxae surround a single sternum. In well preserved palaeocharinids there is a ring, or annulus, around the trochanter–femur joint which may be the remains of an earlier leg segment. The legs are largely unmodified, although in Anthracosironidae the forelegs are quite large and spiny,[28] presumably to help catch prey. The legs end in three claws, two large ones and a smaller median claw.

Haiti President Jovenel Moïse Assassinated
By Cape360
Jovenel Moïse was killed when attackers stormed his home in Port-au-Prince
The president of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, has been assassinated in his home by a group of armed men who also seriously injured his wife, according to a statement and comments made by the country's interim prime minister.
Speaking on a local radio station, Claude Joseph confirmed that Moïse, 53, had been killed, saying the attack was carried out by an "armed commando group" that included foreigners.
In a televised national address later on Wednesday, Joseph declared a state of emergency across the country, and made a call for calm. "The situation is under control," he said.
Late on Wednesday Haiti's communications secretary said police had arrested the "presumed assassins". Frantz Exantus did not provide further details about the killing or say how many suspects had been arrested. The police chief later said officers were fighting with the group and that four had been shot dead and another two arrested.
According to the Haitian ambassador to Washington, Bocchit Edmond, Moïse's killers claimed to be members of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as they entered his guarded residence.
"This was a well-orchestrated commando attack," Edmond told the Guardian. "They presented themselves as DEA agents, telling people they had come as part of a DEA operation."
In videos circulating on social media, a man with an American accent is heard saying in English over a megaphone: "DEA operation. Everybody stand down. DEA operation. Everybody back up, stand down."
Residents reported hearing gunshots and seeing men dressed in black running through the neighbourhood.
"It could be foreign mercenaries, because the video footage showed them speaking in Spanish," Edmond said. "It was something carried out by professionals, by killers … But since the investigation has been just been opened, we prefer to wait on legal authorities to have a better assessment of the situation. We don't know for sure, with real certainty, who's behind this.
"This is an act of barbarity. It's an attack on our democracy," he said.

Meet the two November residents of Amplify Berlin: Albertine Sarges and Daniela Huerta aka Baby Vulture. And listen to the tracks they have been working on this month together with their mentor Lucrecia Dalt. The two will present their new live sets on Thursday at ACUD Club. Lucrecia Dalt will play a DJ-Set.
Albertine Sarges is a songwriter and performer. In Berlin she is mostly known as Ossi Viola, the smiling Italian diva with shoulder pads in the synthpop group ITACA. She also plays keyboards for Kat Frankie. She recently gathered a campy girl band around her (called "the Sticky Fingers"), performing music and eating noodles in public.
Daniela Huerta is a multimedia artist also performing under the moniker Baby Vulture. Her main interest concerns the human (female) voice and the body as a medium to create narratives which position one in an illusionary or defined time and space. She seeks to find variables and errors which allow her to explore distinct territories that she later breaks apart, combines and assembles together, creating her own fragmented language.
What were your expectations when you applied for Amplify? Would you say these expectations were met?
Albertine: My wish for Amplify was to block some time and space for my own musical development after a year of many session jobs at other people's bands. I needed to figure out new sounds and learn more production skills to develop on an aesthetic level. My expectations and needs were absolutely met!
Daniela: It's generally difficult for me to organize my ideas and to give structure and body to my compositions, so I was mainly expecting to learning that. I've done a couple of collaborations doing live vocals as well as body performance and now I am focusing on developing my own material to play live. Throughout the past weeks, after a lot of experimentation and with Lucrecia's guidance I'm happy with what I've accomplished.
How has your residency gone so far? Any highlights?
Albertine: The residency went through ups and downs, all in all a very memorable episode in my life. My highlight was engaging the first time with a drum machine (Elektron Analog MKII).
Daniela: It's been a very interesting process where I had moments of total confusion and many others of just allowing myself to dive in and to have fun. Whenever I thought too much about what I'm still learning or discovering, I limited myself creatively. So the fun and the spontaneous moments led me to doing sounds or vocals which I don't usually do.
And yes highlights … I fell in love with the HAKEN and with the piano which I never really had the chance to play before. I have felt very at home since I started the residency and I have truly felt Philip, Shub and Lucrecia's support.
How was working with a mentor? Is there something in particular that you have learned during the residency?
Albertine: I was overjoyed to meet a team of dedicated helpers and our personal mentor Lucrecia Dalt, who has a very sensitive and open touch, which is incredibly helpful. I think this is the first time ever, that I produce music and make a mentor listen to it – I am still quiet confused and shy and thankful for it. From day one I realized, this was the first time I had an institution behind me that offers staff and ressources to back me up. This gave me a lot of motivation to work on my music.
Daniela: It's been great! To me Lucrecia pays great attention to detail, both sonically and conceptually talking. So I enjoyed this exchange very much. I had a few moments of stress or uncertainty and she made me feel calm and helped me understand I should enjoy the process instead of trying to present a finished piece. Technically I've learned many interesting methods and alternatives she finds to make sounds very rich and present.
Albertine: I spent much more time producing tracks than working on my life set, as I am regularly on stages and I felt it was important to get more sophisticated on the producer's side. The showcase will be a last minute production that tries to fuse both, my work in the studio and my band's force. So the spoken word parts, the drum machine and layered vocal pads will be new elements, while groovy bass and guitar lines, a brushy flute with sound effects and harmonic call-and-response parts will stay as they have been developed over the last year.
Daniela: I really don't know!! I just want to present what I've learnt and explored the past weeks in the studio.
Albertine: I would like to finish the production that I started at Amplify's and publish it as an EP. I might safe money for a drum machine. And I want to record an LP as a producer, dwelling more on the Massive Attack/Nine Inch Nails-vibes that I discovered in me through the residency.
Daniela: Doing this residency has given me gave me a lot of motivation the push I really needed. My plan is to keep developing my live set and productions without restricting myself to anything specific.

GUNS Magazine April 2014 Digital Edition
OUT OF THE BOX™ SMALLER GOVERNMENT BROWNING'S NEW 1911 380 IS A SLIMMED, TRIMMED, LIGHT & LETHAL .380 ACP. JOHN CONNOR ince I can't even estimate the number of 1911's I've handled and shot since childhood, I guess you'd say I've had my share of experience with 'em. OK, maybe my share, Fred's share, Pete's and Larry's, Earl's and Frank's and all their first-born's shares too. The overwhelming majority were full-size Government Models chambered in .45 ACP, but many too were chopped at the muzzle end, chopped at the butt, judiciously trimmed at the corners or crazily whacked into a nearly unrecognizable state. Other a winner. It does, it can, it did—and I chamberings included 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, some think they do. Let's do a quick tour. In appearance, the 1911 380 closely oddball .50's and .22 LR. Some sorta-worked; most didn't. For me, the net effect just drove me back to my roots, to full-sized service pistols in .45 ACP. It seemed to me the more slashing and jiggering of ol' JMB's design, the more you invited finicky failures. When the Big Cheese Editor Jeff (AKA Le Gran Fromage du GUNS) told me Browning had proportionally shrunken a 1911, built it with a composite synthetic frame and chambered it in .380 ACP, I instantly developed an involuntary facial tic that cocked an eyebrow like a boomerang. I felt a block of salt forming in my cheek. Not a grain of salt, mind you—a block. Jeff had shot a prototype at an exclusive preview event, and reported that based on his brief experience poppin' some steel plates, it handled well and ran just fine. He gave you a lot of details on it in the January issue, and I encourage you to go online or pull out your paper copy and peruse it. However, he promised you a full review of the overthe-counter "production gun" by an A-list gunwriter. He couldn't find an A-lister with time available, so… As soon as I opened the box I thought, "Bold move, Browning. Maybe dumb, but bold." I couldn't get over the weight, a mere 15 ounces. But when I repeatedly gripped it, ran through some balancing and pointing drills, cycled the action and tickled the trigger, my thoughts ran to IF this puppy can run right, shoot straight and hold together, Browning's gonna have S JOHN CONNOR That's eight shots cadenced at one per second at 7 yards (above). With a full 4-finger grip and low-bore axis, the .380's feathery weight did not detract from stability and control. Is it inherently accurate? Shooting 2-handed at 10 yards at a 2-inch sticker (below) produced a 5-shot 1.3-inch group. Bangin' headshots on Zombies with the little Browning. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Woof-woof! mimics its big brother. Iron sights are sharp and clear, with a perfectly dimensioned U-notch and post for fast and precise work. The slide is a slim 0.77inch as opposed to a 0.91-inch "standard." The upswept beavertail grip safety is generous, very nicely enhancing your grip, and has a pronounced "memory bump" for sure engagement. Ambidextrous thumb safeties are well proportioned, crisp and positive. Trigger "reach" (the distance from the grip safety to the trigger's surface) is only 2.3 inches, while a full-size 1911's reach runs about 2.8 inches. Inside the triggerguard, "finger space" measures 0.90-inch both vertically and horizontally to accommodate all but the fattest fingers. XL-size gloves are snug to tight on me, and I had no problem with the dimensions at all. The skeletonized trigger is smooth-faced, and has a little lateral and up-anddown movement. I don't think that's a flaw in design, but rather a little builtin clearance. It doesn't affect function at all. The trigger pull has about 1/4-inch of take-up under very light pressure. The break is fairly crispy and measures 4.5 pounds on my Lyman Electronic gauge. Reset is short, tactile and audible. An important note here: This pistol has a magazine disconnect, so the mag must be in the well in order for you to drop the hammer—and possibly touch off a chambered round. But the mag doesn't have to be completely OUT of the gun to enable that safety feature. If 34 WWW.GUNSMAGAZINE.COM • APRIL 2015

Q: Google OAuth2 for authentication redirect hangs I've implemented a simple OAuth2 for Authentication login system that is working reliably on my dev server using a localhost redirect uri.
When testing from a production server, with updated redirect uri, the Google account permission interface opens up for the user logging in. After authorizing account access, the browser just hangs on "Waiting for accounts.google.com..." and doesn't go anywhere. At this point, I can see that the application has been granted access to my profile by viewing account permissions on my Google account dashboard.
If I change the redirect uri to an invalid one, I do get the invalid redirect uri Google error message back, so it looks like the redirection cannot reach my redirect uri. I can reach the reditect uri directly through a browser though. Any pointers?

A: Had a similar problem trying to create a "Login with Google" App. Since this was my first Google App, and I was also just first using the social networking setups in the software package which I bought BEFORE the Google API had changed, I was at a complete loss as where to start.
It finally dawned on me to redirect Google (via the App settings in the developer console) to a test web page on my site (instead of the page defined by the software package,) and all worked as expected, meaning Google redirected properly to the test page (which was actually just my root index.php).  This told me that because the Google API had changed, my software package functionality was obsolete, and I needed to explore the code there.

We have to start by saying that Yoga comes from Sanskrit word meaning union and it is an ancient practice that teaches us how to bring together body and mind.
The primary goal is to incorporate breathing exercises, poses, and meditation so that you can encourage stress reduction and relaxation. If you wish to sign up for yoga beginner's class, the idea is to research what you have to acquire so that you can start with ease.
However, before you make up your mind and head for the first class, it is important to remember that there are some things you should know when it comes to yoga, such as finding appropriate clothes for your particular needs.
