LB presents the Full Story of a Football Genius who is best known by the Nickname; "Emer". Our Emerson Palmieri Childhood Story plus Untold Biography Facts brings to you a full account of notable events from his childhood time till date. The analysis involves his life story before fame, family life and many off-pitch facts about him.
Yes, everyone knows about his style of play but few consider our Emerson Palmieri's Bio which is quite interesting. Now without further adieu, let's Begin.
Emerson Palmieri dos Santos, known as Emerson Palmieri or simply Emerson was born on the 3rd August 1994 in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. He was born to his Italian mother, Eliana Palmieri and Brazilian father, Reginaldo Alves dos Santos.
Emerson has Italian ancestry on his mother's side and has been an Italian citizen since March 2017. He grew up with his older brother, Giovanni, who is also a footballer that plays left back like him. Emerson has been a lover of English football since he was 15 years old.
He made his debut for Santos at the age of 16 after coming through the youth system and by 18 he had established himself as a regular in the first team, thanks in him growing to the most top level of the club's football rank. Scouts started circling him like sharks since after winning the 2013 Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior for Santos U20 side. It was Palermo scouts that finally made him travel to Europe. His choice for the Italian side came through thanks to his mum who comes from the country. Emerson used that opportunity to get more closer to his extended family.
Italian club Palermo, who took him on loan for the 2014/15 season with an option to buy. Unfortunately, his chances to shine were few and far between and after making just nine appearances the club did not consider the option of making the deal permanent.
Palermo's loss was Roma's gain as they took the then-21-year-old on loan for the 2015/16 season. He spent his first season at the Stadio Olimpico as an understudy to Lucas Digne, but showed enough promise to have his loan deal extended for a further season. This was when Antonio Conte's Chelsea came in. The rest, as they say, is now history.
It's all too easy to fall in love and get caught up in the whirlwind of the excitement of planning a life 'together forever'. This is the case of Emerson Palmieri who has been with his childhood sweetheart, Isadora Nascimento since both were teenagers.
Emerson met his long-term girlfriend Isadora Nascimento in Brazil, and the pair have been together ever since. Football Fans at finds it very easy to notice the fiery Latina, who admitted she gets very vocal watching Emerson play.
Emerson, who has nearly 200,000 Instagram followers and regularly posts pictures of the love of his life who appear to be very much in love and proud of her man's achievement.
Emerson Palmieri has the following attribute to his personality.
Emerson Palmieri's Strengths: He is creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted and cheerful.
Emerson Palmieri's Weaknesses: He could be arrogant, stubborn, self-centred, lazy and inflexible.
What Emerson Palmieri's likes: First off, he likes his relationship with Isadora. Emer also loves his theatre, taking holidays, buying expensive things for Isadora, bright colours and having fun with friends.
What Emerson Palmieri's dislikes: Being ignored, facing difficult reality and not being treated like a king.
Although he is is still young, but Emerson is a natural born leader. This fact is unknown to many. He is dramatic, creative, self-confident, dominant and extremely difficult to resist. Emerson is able to achieve anything they want to in any area of life they commit to. There is a specific strength to his "king of the jungle" status.
Yes, as said earlier, Emerson was born in Santos, Sau Paulo, and joined the Santos youth set up in 2009. Did you know?…He spent six years with the club and played alongside Neymar during his time there. Since then, Emerson picked up a thing or two from the Brazilian Golden Child.
Emerson comes from an upper middle-class family of footballing background. In fact, he is not the only football player with the Palmieri name. It appears football runs in his family.
Emerson's older brother Giovanni born of the same parents as at the time of writing, currently play for Fluminense in Brazil as their Number 6. He also operates as a left-back and has racked up almost 100 appearances with the Brazilian club.
Giovani pictured above is five years older than his kid brother.
Emmer is an extremely versatile footballer. He can play either at left-back or left-wing positions and has even filled in at right-back during his time at Roma.
Emerson loves to get forward even as a defender. He's well known for taking on and beating his opposite man. This reveals his excellent speed, balance and samba-like dribbling skills in the process.
Despite standing at 5ft 9in, he's not afraid to use his frame to his advantage. Emerson is capable of causing plenty of fouls from his side with his trickery.
At the other end of the field, Emer is also good in one-on-one situations thanks to his pace getting him out of tricky situations. Before coming to Chelsea, his defensive stats from matched up favourably with the best in Serie A.
In March 2017, after being close to acquiring Italian citizenship, Emerson was reportedly pursued by Italy head coach Gian Piero Ventura with the intention of switching his international allegiance to Italy. He dream switch came on the 29th day of March 2017.

Yukos Minority Shareholders Defeat Russian Federation in Swedish Proceedings
PDF Binder
Word Document Binder
WASHINGTON, DC, September 11, 2014 — The Stockholm District Court today dismissed the Russian Federation's jurisdictional challenge to a previous arbitration ruling that ordered Russia to compensate a group of Spanish investors for the losses they suffered when the government expropriated the Yukos Oil Company, one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world.
Russia asked the Stockholm court to declare that an international arbitral tribunal had no authority under the Spain-Russia bilateral investment treaty to hear Spanish investor claims regarding the seizure of Yukos. The Swedish court soundly rejected Russia's challenge.
The Swedish court concluded that the bilateral investment treaty between Spain and Russia gave the arbitration tribunal authority to hear the Spanish claims and dismissed Russia's action. It then concluded that despite Russia's objections, the Spanish funds should be awarded costs.
In July 2012, the arbitral tribunal Jan Paulsson, Toby Landau and Judge Charles Brower concluded unanimously that Russia expropriated Yukos and compensation is due to Spanish minority investors.
The case, Quasar de Valores et al. v. Russian Federation, is one of three investment treaty arbitrations where Russia has been found liable for the expropriation of Yukos. The tribunals in all three arbitrations decided that Russia's tax measures against Yukos, its enforcement of those measures, including the rigged auction of Yukos's most valuable asset, and the subsequent liquidation of Yukos in bankruptcy proceedings constituted an expropriation.
The Swedish court decision rejecting Russia's jurisdictional challenge comes on the heels of a July 18 arbitration ruling under the Energy Charter Treaty that also found Russia had expropriated Yukos and ordered it to pay $50 billion in compensation to the company's majority shareholders.
"The writing is on the wall. Once again, Russia has been held accountable for its actions," said Marney Cheek, a partner at Covington who represents the Spanish investors. "Now that the Swedish court has rejected Russia's challenge, we call upon Russia to accept its international responsibility to compensate Yukos investors."
"This decision is significant because it suggests that Russia will have no more success avoiding its treaty obligations in appeals to national courts than it had in the underlying arbitrations," said partner Jonathan Gimblett, who represented the Spanish minority shareholders alongside Ms. Cheek.
Russia has initiated a second action to challenge the merits award in the Swedish courts, but that challenge has been stayed pending the Stockholm District Court proceeding decided today.
In addition to Ms. Cheek and Mr. Gimblett, the Covington team involved in the original arbitration included former partner O. Thomas Johnson, Jr., partner David Pinsky, and associates Alexia DePottere-Smith and Alexander Berengaut. Mr. Johnson retired from Covington in April 2012.
Covington's Swedish co-counsel and counsel of record in the Stockholm District Court proceedings were Kaj Hobér of Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå, Paulo Fohlin of Advokatfirman Odebjer Fohlin, and Silvia Dahlberg of Advokatfirman Vinge.
Covington's Spanish co-counsel in this representation is Jorge Capell of Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira.

Consumption Method 2: Subcutaneous injection into layer of fat Preparation for Injection: Add 1ml (100 IU) of sterile solution to the PEG-MGF vial. Every 200mcg is then equal to 0.1ml (10 IU).
PEG MGF does not need to be systematically administered because of its long half-life (several days). It will circulate your body binding to the receptors where muscle tissue damage has taken place. Administration should be timed post workout or on recovery days when you plan on resting. Since mechano groth fact is a variant of -1, you do not want to use MGF pre-workout because it will have to fight for position with -1 as they both try to bind to the same receptor. -1 has a much stronger affinity to bind then MGF.
Rest days are the best way to get the most use out of PEG MGF, as you will have lower level of -1 and the long lasting PEG MGF will have the ability to run the course of the body while you focus on recovery. I have personally ran PEG MGF and administered into the quad regions after very long sessions where my quads were ripped to shreds. The recovery time and muscle growth in those areas was noticed after one week of use. Duly noted was the recovery time after a 100+ mile ride. On the recovery day, I administered 200mcg of PEG MGF and rested. The following day muscles felt recovered and soreness was not present for the next training ride.
An insulin syringe needs to be used to inject subcutaneously or intramuscularly with a dose around 200-400mcg. Bilateral dosing can be used, but a single site administration will work just as well.


About 500 immigrant fathers and sons being held at the Karnes County Residential Center organized a strike in an attempt to expedite their cases.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials opened the Karnes County Residential Center in South Texas on Aug. 1st. The 532-bed facility is one of three in the USA designed to hold immigrant women and children.
About 500 immigrant fathers and sons being held at the Karnes County Residential Center organized a strike in an attempt to expedite their cases, according to a news release from RAICES, a San Antonio-based legal aid group.
On Thursday, the fathers notified RAICES, which stands for Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, that they will situate themselves in three patio areas at the detention center and will refuse to eat and obey orders, the news release states.
Fathers and sons detained at Karnes are on strike. They've been left with no choice.
Fathers are refusing to eat.
Their sons, who are also detained at Karnes, will refuse to participate in any school activities for the day, the release states.
The strike was brought on by the frustration of being detained for long periods of time "in unjust conditions where they are continuously 'being treated like animals,' " the release states.
The fathers had initially been separated from their children as per what's known as the "zero tolerance" policy. As an alternative to the separation, the federal government has resorted to detaining families at privately run family detention centers.
This is letter shared by one of the fathers currently on hunger strike today inside Karnes Detention Center.
"When they reunified us, the government should have had a plan about what they were going to do with us. No one knows where we are," one father states in the release.
In June, the Department of Homeland Security began trying to identify new facilities along the U.S.-Mexico border to house families in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
These families going on strike "shows how tired they are of the games the administration continues to play with vulnerable communities," said Manoj Govindaiah, RAICES' director of family detention services.
RAICES notes in the press release that on July 15, attorneys noticed a major shift in the detainee population at Karnes. Karnes was initially designated as a detention facility for mothers and children, the release states.
Many fathers and sons arrived after being reunited as per a court order.
Last Thursday, the Trump administration announced that 1,442 children had been reunited and that zero children would remain in custody with parents eligible for reunification.
An additional 771 children remained in government custody because their parents remained ineligible for reunification, including 431 with parents who may have already been deported, 120 with parents who waived reunification and 21 with parents who have criminal backgrounds, according to reports.
An ICE spokesperson has not responded with comment on the matter.
RAICES requested a list of detainees and updates on their immigration case, the release states.
"RAICES attorneys believe that those at Karnes are fathers who were coerced into accepting deportation in order to expedite reunification with their children," the release states. "However, upon reunification and after accessing legal services, many of the detainees have learned that they have colorable claims for asylum and, rather than accept deportation, are choosing to fight their cases."

Tom, if you'll allow me, I'm going to play for you and your audience the best conversation I know I've heard anywhere about the Michael Brown case and what's going to happen with the grand jury and Officer Darren Wilson.
The announcement about an indictment is supposed to happen soon.
Before I get to the conversation I want to remind everyone that there have been months of testimony, dozens of witnesses, and three autopsies performed.
The official autopsy was performed by St. Louis officials, another by the feds and an independent one was done for Michael Brown's family.
Dr. Cyril Wecht, the renowned forensic pathologist, has now examined the official autopsy report from St. Louis.
He told me last night on CNN that Michael Brown's hands were up, not palms out, but still up.
Yet he says this about the likelihood of an indictment.
Now I want you to listen to the CNN Political Analyst and attorney Van Jones' response to Dr. Wecht.
Here's the closer; Dr. Wecht with his final point.
"I would vote for indictment. (crosstalk) I want to make it clear. If I had to buy you guys a cup of coffee on the other side they will not indict. Van's assessment is correct then? Yes, well because of the way the public reacts to police and police shootings. They just bend over very far, that's a discussion for another day, is that right? I'm just telling you what all I experienced in all my years my decades of dealing with police shootings not only as coroner here but in police shootings around the country. It takes a great deal to indict an officer. And I don't want to make this into a racial issue. But when the officer is white and the victim is African American then it is a little bit easier for jury to not indict.
These racist devils know if that pig Darren goes to court,with all this eye witness evidence an also audio of the shots fired theirs a good chance he,ll be found guilty.
Read what God says about the "wicked" in the bible, Psalms Chapter 37 the whole scripture.
After I saw those 4 cops beat the S–T out of Rodney King and walk away back in 1991, I have never, ever since then had any faith in America's judicial system, nor would I put anything past this so called committee concerning men of color.
I'd say its a 50/50 chance that the Grand Jury does not indict. Grand Juries are not a panel of experienced Law Enforcement Officer, they wouldn't know if its a justifiable SHOOTING are not. retired law enforcement officers such as myself and others, can immediately identify unjustifiable shooting, but law enforcement officers are barred from being Jurors. But I know in my heart what the verdict should be. There are a course that Law Enforcement Officers took in the past called F.A.T.S., I know for a fact this officer would have failed this test. Another course he failed in his How To Handle Angry People, which were offered to law enforcement officers of the past.

Thin basement membrane disease (previously referred to as "benign familial hematuria") is, along with IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of hematuria without other symptoms. The only abnormal finding in this disease is a thinning of the basement membrane of the glomeruli in the kidneys. Its importance lies in the fact that it has a benign prognosis, with patients maintaining a normal kidney function throughout their lives.

Signs and symptoms
Most patients with thin basement membrane disease are incidentally discovered to have microscopic hematuria on urinalysis. The blood pressure, kidney function, and the urinary protein excretion are usually normal. Mild proteinuria (less than 1.5 g/day) and hypertension are seen in a small minority of patients. Frank hematuria and loin pain should prompt a search for another cause, such as  kidney stones or loin pain-hematuria syndrome. Also, there are no systemic manifestations, so presence of hearing impairment or visual impairment should prompt a search for hereditary nephritis such as Alport syndrome.

Genetics
The molecular basis for thin basement membrane disease has yet to be elucidated fully; however, defects in type IV collagen have been reported in some families.

Some individuals with TBMD are thought to be carriers for genes that cause Alport syndrome.

Diagnosis
Thin basement membrane disease must be differentiated from the other two common causes of glomerular hematuria, IgA nephropathy and Alport syndrome. The history and presentation are helpful in this regard:
 In Alport syndrome, there is often a family history of kidney failure, which may be associated with hearing impairment. Also, males tend to be more affected as Alport syndrome is X-linked in most cases.
 In IgA nephropathy, episodes of frank hematuria are more common, and a family history is less common.

A kidney biopsy is the only way to diagnose thin basement membrane disease. It reveals thinning of the glomerular basement membrane from the normal 300 to 400 nanometers (nm) to 150 to 250 nm. However, a biopsy is rarely done in cases where the patient has isolated microscopic hematuria, normal kidney function, and no proteinuria. The prognosis is excellent in this setting unless the clinical manifestations progress, as occurs in most males and some females with Alport syndrome and many patients with IgA nephropathy.

Treatment
Most patients with thin basement membrane disease need only reassurance. Indeed, this disease was previously referred to as "benign familial hematuria" because of its usually benign course. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have been suggested to reduce the episodes of hematuria, though controlled studies are lacking. Treating co-existing hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria will also be helpful in reducing hematuria.

The molecular basis for thin basement membrane disease has yet to be elucidated fully; however, defects in the gene encoding the a4 chain of type IV collagen have been reported in some families.

Prognosis
Overall, most people with thin basement membrane disease have an excellent prognosis. Some reports, however, suggest that a minority might develop hypertension.

Thin basement membrane disease may co-exist with other kidney diseases, which may in part be explained by the high prevalence of thin basement membrane disease.

Italian Singer Who Plagiarized BTS's "Fake Love" Claims He Didn't Know They Existed, Threatens Legal Action
He said he will take legal action against fans who cause trouble for him.
Earlier, it was reported that Italian singer Seiell released a song titled "Scenne Nenné" that fans felt was an obvious plagiarism of BTS's "Fake Love". In response to the accusations, Seiell responded with a homophobic and racist tirade against BTS.

Now, Japanese media is reporting that Seiell has said, "Before I released this song, I didn't know the existence of BTS. I did not think such a thing could happen. I have received indiscriminate blame and defamation from all over the world. I will take legal action against fans who cause trouble for me."

3 famous people in history who would they be? I think I would pick Winston Churchill, Andrew Jackson (just so I could beat the crap out of him) and Major Ridge, one of the heads of the Cherokees who signed the Treaty of Echota... or maybe Clark Gable.
What about youse peoples?

I was actually asked the same exact question when I interviewed for an Intelligence position with the US Navy Reserve some three years ago. I picked:
- George Washington: what would possess someone to risk all he had to lead the Continental Army in a revolution?
- Albert Einstein: would love to spend some time with a guy that smart.
- Beethoven: how does someone go deaf and suffer through the resulting depression, yet still produce such wonderful music?
Looking back, I probably would have replaced Beethoven with Admiral Sprague, given his penchance for avoiding the limelight, remaining absolutely calm under the craziest circumstances, and for being a strategist more than a tactician.

Id choose..
Lee Soon Shin : admiral during the 7 year war in korea..
Prime minister of korea during 1910.. Yi wan yong.. who sold out korea to the japanese... and then kill his ass huea!
and the caveman that invented fire!
Isaac Newton - The most brilliant man that ever lived and the foundation of all modern math and science. 'Nuff said.
Davy Crockett - The quintessential American hero. (And yeah, I had the cap)
Humphrey Bogart - The greatest American actor (probably actor - period) whoever lived. The coolest of the cool and you know damn well the bar would be well stocked.

Rank and organization: Specialist Fifth Class, U.S. Army, Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Place and Date: Binh Dinh province, Republic of Vietnam, 21 June 1967. Entered service at: Denver, Colo. Born: 22 November 1944, Leadville, Colo.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Serving as a medical aidman with Company B, Sp5c. McWethy accompanied his platoon to the site of a downed helicopter. Shortly after the platoon established a defensive perimeter around the aircraft, a large enemy force attacked the position from 3 sides with a heavy volume of automatic weapons fire and grenades. The platoon leader and his radio operator were wounded almost immediately, and Sp5c. McWethy rushed across the fire-swept area to their assistance. Although he could not help the mortally wounded radio operator, Sp5c. McWethy's timely first aid enabled the platoon leader to retain command during this critical period. Hearing a call for aid, Sp5c. McWethy started across the open toward the injured men, but was wounded in the head and knocked to the ground. He regained his feet and continued on but was hit again, this time in the leg. Struggling onward despite his wounds, he gained the side of his comrades and treated their injuries. Observing another fallen rifleman Lying in an exposed position raked by enemy fire, Sp5c. McWethy moved toward him without hesitation. Although the enemy fire wounded him a third time, Sp5c. McWethy reached his fallen companion. Though weakened and in extreme pain, Sp5c. McWethy gave the wounded man artificial respiration but suffered a fourth and fatal wound. Through his indomitable courage, complete disregard for his safety, and demonstrated concern for his fellow soldiers, Sp5c. McWethy inspired the members of his platoon and contributed in great measure to their successful defense of the position and the ultimate rout of the enemy force. Sp5c. McWethy's profound sense of duty, bravery, and his willingness to accept extraordinary risks in order to help the men of his unit are characteristic of the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.
At Fort Sam in 1988 there was a theatre, I don't know if it is still standing, that was next to the 187th building. On the walls of the lobby were the pictures and citations of all the Army medics who received the CMH, most posthumously. His face still haunts me. I don't know what I would say or do. I don't know how to put it in words. As I type this tears are filling my eyes and I can't explain why. I would just like to be in the same room with the man.
2. Thomas Jefferson. One of the smartest people I have ever read about. I would hope to learn something from him and possibly his opinion of this great experiment as it is today.
3. Sayyed Qtub. The source of Islamic fundamentalism and the ideological father of Osama Bin Laden and all like him. I would like to fully understand the source of all this pain.

Bulldog - did you ever read any books about Flashman by George McDonald Frasier? He is this hero who gets awards like the guy you mentioned. It would always turn out that he would be in that position by accident or actually, usually trying to run away but something would happen and he would accidentally be caught doing something heroic. I was just wondering about your guy...nahhh......


Did you know that mind mapping software can be a powerful tool for planning and outlining your writing projects? You can not only use it to visually outline your next report, white paper, book or other large writing project – you can also export it to Microsoft Word, saving you many hours of time.
During the export process, topics are converted into heading styles and topic notes become paragraph text. Other mind map elements can also be incorporated into the export process. Utilizing this method is a very productive way to help you write faster and more cohesively than you ever thought possible.
To help you understand how this works, I have created an infographic that visually displays what happens to each element of your mind map when you export it to Microsoft Word. The example below was created using MindManager 2016, but the principle is the same no matter which mind mapping software program you use.
Most people simply begin writing by doing a brain dump of whatever comes to mind. Next, they attempt to edit and organize what they have written, but this tends to be problematic. The structure of your writing tends to be buried within the sentences and paragraphs that you are putting together. It's almost impossible to see. You have little or no sense if you are completely covered your subject or if there are pieces missing. More importantly, it's hard to tell if your writing contains any extraneous elements that could be eliminated.
In contrast, mind mapping software enables you to create a visual outline of your writing before you start to assemble sentences and paragraphs. It's much easier to see the structure, the skeleton of your writing in visual form with topics and subtopics representing the main points and supporting point of the article or other writing project you're working on. And that makes it much easier to determine what needs to be added or clarified, what points can be consolidated or simplified, and what doesn't fit and can be removed.
You can also add and reorganize topics at will, enabling you to create the perfect structure for the information you plan to convey in your writing project. You can even do "what if" exercises with the content of your writing project. In other words, move topics or sections of it to a new location. Do they make sense there? If so, leave them there. If not, undo the move. In this way, you can experiment with different structures for your information.
As my friend Roger C. Parker explains, if you find that you need to capture some extended thoughts about a specific topic, you can type them into a topic note. In this way, you can capture the first several sentences or even several paragraphs about the subject. "By the time you finish outlining your writing project in mind mapping software, you'll discover it's already half written," he explains.
As you can see from the infographic, many types of information are exported, not just topics and text notes. Images, links and symbols can also be exported, making it easy to take an entire mind map of multimedia research sources and transfer it into your Word document, where they can become part of your finished writing project.
Consult the help file for your program to determine which of these features it supports.
Get comfortable with your program's Word export capabilities. Then, instead of starting your writing process in Microsoft Word, consider mapping the content of your project in your mind mapping software. Give some thought to the information it ought to contain, and how it ought to be organized.

RP Data National Auction Comment, week ending 10 August, 2014
A preliminary weighted average clearance rate of 65.9 per cent was recorded this week across capital cities compared to 68.9 per cent last week, and 70.1 per cent this time last year. The lower clearance rate was a result of a softening in the Melbourne market. This contrasted with the very buoyant outcome in Sydney and Adelaide.
Sydney continues to be the capital city with the strongest and most consistent auction market. A preliminary clearance rate of 75.5 per cent was recorded this week compared to 76.7 per cent last week.
The lowest result in 9 weeks occurred in Melbourne where a preliminary clearance rate of 63.9 per cent recorded compared to 69 per cent last week. Auction numbers have risen in the inner east after a seasonal lull. Rising stock numbers in the next month will clearly test the market.
In Brisbane a preliminary clearance rate of 35.3 per cent was recorded compared to 36.7 per cent last week.
Adelaide recorded a very strong clearance rate of 75 per cent compared to 61 per cent last week. Low stock numbers at this time of the year can affect the clearance rate by making in more variable than in spring and summer. In Canberra a clearance rate of 45.8 per cent was recorded and in Perth there was a clearance rate of 66.7 per cent.

Move over top toques Robert Del Grande and Chris Shepherd. There are a few ballet stars in the kitchen who would like to inspire your Sunday night supper for Houston Ballet patrons.
This is the scenario for Houston Ballet Barre's annual "Raising the Barre" fundraiser, that two days ago found five of the city's leading chefs in the kitchen of RDG + Bar Annie with four of the company's top dancers. The menu was inspired by the dancers' culinary roots.
The four-course dining extravaganza began with Seth Siegel-Gardner and Terrence Gallivan of The Pass and Provisions, who prepared Thai meatballs with black rice and green curry while sous chef, soloist Elise Elliott (who recently married fellow dancer Rhodes Elliott) prepared her grandmother's recipe for meatballs, just like the ones served at the couple's wedding.
Chris Shephered of Underbelly partnered with demi-soloist and newlywed Rhodes Elliott to whip up chicken bog, a South Carolina inspired dish comprised of chicken, sausage and rice. Elliott is a native of the palmetto state.
Principal dancer Sara Webb traded her toe shoes for a sous chef's apron when working with host chef Robert Del Grande and RDG sous chef Elliott Kelly on the pot roast entree. No ordinary pot roast, this one was slow roasted in a banana leaf with Texas-style green chile sauce. The course was a nod to Webb's traditional Sunday suppers at home, which she left at age 14 to pursue her ballet career.
Fluff Bake Bar's Rebecca Masson stepped in to help demi-soloist Emily Bowen prepare a sophisticated twist on her childhood favorite — PB&J bakewell tarte with Concord grape jelly and hand-churned bourbon ice cream.
Savoring the evening that raised $65,000 for the ballet were chairs Lindley and Jason Arnoldy and Erin and James Stewart.
Among the 150 guests sitting down for dinner were Lilly and Harrison Cullen, Kevin Black and Tony Bradfield, Phoebe and Bobby Tudor, Gina and Dr. Devinder Bhatia, Jaquel and Jeremy Andrews, Kristen and Steve McDaniel, Mary Patton, and Shawn Stephens with James Jordan.


In November, 1966, we were on the Cambodian border. I was in 1st Squad, 1st Platoon. We made a Combat Assault into the jungle against what was thought to be a North Vietnamese Army Regiment or larger. As our Hueys were about to land, the door gunner told us it was a hot LZ. They were taking fire. They called in jets to work the place over a bit and they too took fire. So they worked the area over with artillery. The two gun ships got in front of us about 500 to 1000 yards out. The gun ships then made a run, then we went in with our gun ships. As we hit the ground, we moved out and secured the perimeter. After about 10 to 15 minutes, Lt. Stein and Sgt. Meisel our Platoon Sgt. started yelling, "Get into the woods!" "Run for your life -- get into the woods!" I had malaria, which I should have gone in for, but didn't, so I was burning up with fever but knew I had to keep moving and fast. As I was running through the jungle I saw two gunships making a bank. They were going to make an attack on us. I ran like hell with the other guys. I looked back and could see the ships were making their "Gun Run." I told myself, "You are going to get it now, Denny!"
VA-ROOM, VA-ROOM Rockets screeched past my left, then to my right and then overhead. The horrible thundering screeching sound of rockets going over you and to the side of you is enough to make you loose control of all body functions. Only guys who have experienced it will know what I'm talking about. I could hear the rat-a-tat-tat of the M-60s on the gunships opening up on us guys. I tripped over something and looked up to see bullets striking into a tree and tearing it up several feet in front of me. If I hadn't tripped, those rounds would have torn me up like that tree. Then I saw other rockets going up higher and higher at an angle. The bullets started going higher too. The choppers must have gotten the word that they were shooting at their own guys and broken off the attack.
I saw LT. Stein and SGT Meisel (sp?) yelling on the radios. I guess they got through to those choppers.
We all looked around to see if anyone got hit. We yelled, "Anyone get hit?" Then we heard, "Over here!" and someone started to yell, "Help!" We went over to him and he was under a big tree like a pine that a rocket hit knocking the top of it down on him. I took out my machete and started cutting limbs off to get the tree off him. Other guys were chopping at it too. We got him out and he didn't have a scratch. What a Lucky guy! I think his name was McCoy, but I can't remember for sure.
We came under an other attack by our own rockets later, only that time nine guys were wounded. I'll tell that story another time. Today they call this friendly fire. We called it something else.


Ghana international Thomas Teye Partey has expressed his delight following his superb performance against Congo in the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers in Brazzaville on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old scored his first career hat-trick as the Black Stars humiliated Congo 5-1,with Richmond Boakye Yiadom adding two more goals.
Partey's performance made him the first Ghanaian to score a hat-trick in any international game since Yaw Preko, who currently coaches Nigerian Professional Football League side Ifeanyi Ubah, did it in 1999 against Eritrea in the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
"I feel very happy [with the hat-trick] because I know with hard work, everything is possible so I just tried to do my best just like I do in every game," Partey told GFA Media.
"When you believe it you can do it and even when you don't have the talent and you work hard it will happen. We were focus on our upcoming games, and Ghanaians should expect more from the team and support the team and not only one player because all the players make a complete team.
"So I plead with them to support the Black Stars of Ghana and I know with their support we would be able to do greater things," he added. Partey has scored four goals and leads the topscorer's chart in the qualifiers.
Ghana will travel to Uganda next month before they host Egypt at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in November to wrap up the race to Russia 2018.

Credit Bank is replacing its cards with chip & PIN debit cards featuring Visa payWave technology that allows users to pay using a card or smartphone by waving it over a secure reader.
The lender says the move is meant to reduce card fraud and enhance customer convenience.
"PayWave is the latest in secure contactless technology that allows customers to use their cards by just 'waving to pay,' meaning that the customer will always be in control of the card at all times during the transaction," Credit Bank said in a statement.
PayWave technology is seen an an improvement of the current payment process of inserting or swiping a card.
Those intending to use their smartphones will need to download the Visa payWave app.
Electronic payments firm Interswitch will manage and process the issuance of the Visa debit cards. The partnership will also allow Interswitch to deploy and manage Credit Bank's Automated Teller Machines (ATM).
Interswitch East Africa CEO Bernard Matthewman said that outsourcing some of the capital-intensive services allows banks to focus on their core business, save money and boost their services.
Credit Bank first Kenyan lender to issue payWave enabled cards Reviewed by samrack on September 29, 2016 .

Back to Petroleum Group past meeting resources
Petroleum Geoscience Research Forum
11-12 November 2008, Northern Hotel, Aberdeen
This international conference presents state-of-the-art petroleum geoscience research carried out in industry or jointly between industry and academia. The conference aimed to attract leading academics and industry researchers alike and to provide an early-stage forum for ongoing post-doctoral and postgraduate research. This conference thus provides an excellent opportunity for industry and academia to meet, get inspired and to develop future collaborative research links. This is also an excellent opportunity for graduates to meet potential future employers and vice versa. The conference themes include:
• Reservoir geology, petrophysics, and geological modelling
• Clastic and carbonate sedimentology and stratigraphy
• Structural geology and basin evolution
• Geochemistry, diagenesis and fluid flow
• Applications of seismic interpretation in geological analysis
• Case histories of joint industry-academia research and knowledge transfer
Petroleum Geoscience Research Forum (11-12 November 2008)
Rivers, Estuaries, Deltas & Beaches: Traps for Fossils Fuels
6-7 November 2008, The Geological Society London
Advances in sedimentology, fundamental processes, facies models within stratigraphic context, derived from flume tank studies, numerical modelling, modern analogues and seismic geomorphology. Application of sedimentology and facies models in paralic environments to exploration and exploitation of the subsurface.
Rivers, Estuaries, Deltas & Beaches: Traps for Fossil Fuels (6-7 November 2008)
Subsurface sediment remobilization and fluid flow in sedimentary basins
21-22 October 2008, The Geological Society London
The remobilization and injection of mud and sand is both a response to and a control on fluid flow in sedimentary basins. Understanding fluid flow is the key to efficient and safe hydrocarbon exploration and to understanding the evolution of sedimentary basins. Sediment remobilisation and injection has implications for hydrocarbon exploration and production by impacting source, migration, reservoir, trap and seal
aspects of the hydrocarbon system and poses potential drilling hazards. Currently, there is a poor understanding of sand and mud remobilization processes and associated focused fluid flow systems and perhaps an even worse understanding of the diagenetic impact of focused fluid flow and vice versa. This conference aimed to bring together scientists from a variety of disciplines (geologists, geophysicists, geochemists) from both academic and industrial communities to present and discuss the stateof- the-art understanding of subsurface sediment remobilization and fluid flow in sedimentary basins.
Subsurface Sediment Remobilization & Fluid Flow in Sedimentary Basins (21-22 October 2008)
Fault Zones: Structure, Geomechanics and Fluid Flow
16-18 September 2008, The Geological Society, London
Faults play a crucial role in controlling strain accumulation in the Earth's crust. At the largest scale they control the form and evolution of sedimentary basins and at the smallest scale, the development of fault zones results in a change in the mechanical and hydrological properties of the fault rocks, thereby impacting on their mechanical strength and permeability. With recent advances in subsurface, modelling and field-based studies, this conference aimed to bring together a diverse range of scientists interested in fault growth, fault zone properties and their effects on other processes such as fluid flow and earthquake processes.
Specific themes included:
• Control of fault growth on basin structure and stratigraphy in various tectonic regimes.
• Importance of faults for the flow of hydrocarbon, water, ore and waste fluids.
• Fault structure, development and earthquake processes.
• Numerical and analogue modelling of fault development.
• Fault development in different lithologies (especially in clays and shales).

Rift Renaissance: Stretching the Crust and Extending Exploration Frontiers
19-21 August 2008, Museum of Natural Sciences, IMAX Theatre, Houston, Texas USA
The Petroleum Group of the Geological Society of London and the Society for Sedimentary Geology are privileged to collaborate with the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences and acknowledge the support of co-sponsors to present this world-class 3-day international technical conference. The conference "Rift renaissance: stretching the crust and extending exploration frontiers" provides an important technical forum to challenge rift model paradigms. These paradigms underpin the fundamental understanding and exploration of, pre-cursor rift basins and continental rift basins. Numerous aspects of crustal evolution and lithospheric extension models remain contentious and new sub-surface datasets have highlighted important apparent paradoxes. Heat flow, subsidence and passive margin formation are subject to both temporal and spatial anomalies related to rift processes. The technical program is uniquely constructed to share the most recent observations, interpretations and models from leading industry and academic contributors. The meeting will address the understanding of rift basins and constrain our comprehension of rift-related petroleum geology.

Fold-Thrust Belt Exploration: the next technical frontier
14-16 May 2008, The Geological Society London
Against a backdrop of continued success in deep water exploration, the relative complexity of thrust belt geology may account largely for the modest level of hydrocarbon exploration in fold-thrust belts worldwide. The attention of an opportunitypoor oil industry will predictably return to such areas of complex geology, where petroleum systems are poorly understood and large discoveries still possible. This conference is intended to examine key themes and issues relating to fold-thrust belts worldwide, from outcrop studies through to hydrocarbon exploration and production. The conference covered the different thrust systems, and focus on structural concepts, models and techniques, thermal regimes, petroleum systems, current methods of thrust belt interpretation and exploration, and specific oil & gas field case studies.
Fold Thrust Belt Exploration (14-16 May 2008)
Reservoir Compartmentalization
5-6 March 2008m The Geological Society London
Modern exploration and production portfolios often contain fields in which hydrocarbon trapping and disruption to dynamic fluid flow, is influenced by complex distributions of faults, fractures and stratigraphic heterogeneities. Understanding the nature of static and dynamic compartmentalization in these fields, is a key to locating connected reserves, identifying unswept blocks, and safely optimising field development, to increase production rates and ultimate recovery.
This 2-day international conference examined approaches to recognition, characterisation and prediction of geological controls on Reservoir Compartmentalization - through integration of geoscience and reservoir engineering studies (structure, geomechanics, geophysics, stratigraphy, sedimentology, diagenesis, fluids and pressures). Contributions from industry and academic researchers, specialist service roviders, and practitioners - provided a collective benchmark of the modern science and related technology applied to Reservoir Compartmentalization.

Maximising the Remaining Potential of the Central North Sea
28th June 2008, The Geological Society London
Over the last 5 years the Central North Sea has seen the entry of a large number of new players joining the major and large independent energy companies in exploring for and developing hydrocarbons. Existing assets have been purchased by smaller independent operators and new players eager to rejuvenate fields, develop dormant oil and gas discoveries and conduct new exploration. This has been helped by significant discoveries such as Buzzard (2000) and Jasmine (2006), in addition to the rise in oil prices. New innovative techniques are being used to understand the sub-surface and deplete reservoirs more effectively to maximize value. Following on from the successful one day workshop held on the Southern Gas Basin in 2007 this joint SPE/Geological Society, one day, informal workshop aimed to encourage the sharing of understanding gained from exploration, development and production activities in the Central North Sea between companies active in the basin.

Entering the stage dressed in her 'Super Mario brothers' leggings, Sara made quite the impression from the beginning. Having seen her on various comedy shows on TV, I was eager to witness her 'craft' (as she would call it) live on stage.
Omid Djalili is a stand-up comedian, actor, television producer, voice artist and writer. He has had great success, appearing in blockbuster Hollywood movies. He said that early on his acting seemed to raise a laugh from an audience, so comedy opened up to him.

It's been a big year for Chris Ramsey since he last came to the Lowry theatre last March; since then he's gone on to have his own TV show and his following has grew and grew, evident at this date with a once again extremely busy Lowry Theatre.
Sat at home on an early Sunday evening and although I said all week about how I was looking forward to having a relaxing day of doing nothing, I have found myself well; bored.
Luckily in the North West, your never short of live shows or acts to kill the boredom so that's exactly what I've gone in search for, something the squash those Sunday night blues.
Tom Allen and Suzi Ruffell took the stage together, welcoming the audience and they both seemed genuinely pleased, if not a little relieved, that Studio 1 was full. They explained that it was either first tour together and they were both going to do their Edinburgh 2016 shows. They seemed really relaxed with each other and engaged the audience - we learned later that they were very good friends.
It's not easy making fun of the ridiculous – however the political knowledge, experience and insight which satirical impressionist Rory Bremner has makes him more than qualified to make Trump, Boris and Brexit the meat of his new tour, Partly Political.
The Manchester comedy club in my opinion is definitely one of the best nights out in Manchester and at £5 a ticket (£2 students/£3 concession) you definitely won't find better value for money. Ever second and the last Sunday of the month Toby Hadoke presents 'New Stuff' an excellent showcase where established comedians perform all new, never been seen or heard before material to gauge whether their new material is worthy of putting into their regular sets.
Stand-up comedy got a much needed boost in the noughties with the very popular comedy show 'Live at the Apollo' being beamed to households across the country with many comedians capsulising on this new audience boost, one such comedian who I first saw on the show was Stephen K Amos and I've come to the Lowry Theatre to see what he's like in the flesh.
Stand Up Thursday at The Comedy Store is firmly etched in the diary of this superb venue in Manchester. Tonight was the best attended Thursday night I have been to in the many years I have been going to the arches underneath Deansgate Metrolink station. This was in part I think connected to the headline act of the evening, Joe Lycett.
John Shuttleworth hits the road following appearances on Celebrity Antiques Roadshow and the second series of Radio 4's John Shuttleworth's Music for his farewell tour – well his latest one anyway. A recent health scare (athlete's foot apparently) along with the demise of so many entertainers during 2016 has forced the Sheffield singer/songwriter to focus on his own mortality and the many things he needs to do before his inevitable move into a hospice. Can sole agent, Ken Worthington, pull out the stops to give John a final soiree? Whilst this unravels, or not, in the background, John turns his considerable mind to issues of the day as he contemplates amongst other things a trip to Morrisons, the demise of soap, and mingling with mourners before his attention turns to the excitement of sucking his first ever mint and the loss of so many favoured sweet brands.

The World is in Deep Trouble—& the Sustainable Development Goals in Jeopardy
By Thalif Deen
UNITED NATIONS (IDN) — The warnings came from the highest echelons of the United Nations, from UN Secretary-General António Guterres and President of the 193-member General Assembly Abdulla Shahid.
The message was clear: the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) desperately need help for their very survival, eight years ahead of their 2030 deadline for full implementation.
Addressing a ministerial meeting of the three-day High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on SDGs on July 13-15, Guterres remarked: "Our world is in deep trouble—and so are the Sustainable Development Goals."
Some 94 countries, home to 1.6 billion people, face a perfect storm: dramatic increases in the price of food and energy and a lack of access to finance.
"And so, there is a real risk of multiple famines this year. Next year could be even worse if fertilizer shortages affect the harvests of staple crops, including rice," he cautioned.
"Time is running out. But there is still hope," he said, "because we know what we need to do."
If you want the SDGs to be reality, he said, "end the senseless, disastrous wars—now. Unleash a renewable energy revolution—now. Invest in people and build a new social contract—now. And deliver a New Global Deal to rebalance power and financial resources and enable all developing countries to invest in the SDGs."
Let's come together, starting today, with ambition, resolve and solidarity, to rescue the SDGs before it is too late, he declared.
The ripple effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine have hit amid a fragile and uneven recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, while the climate emergency is gathering pace.
But the lingering question remained: Will the world's rich nations—and warring parties—respond to this appeal for help?
Shahid, President of the UN's highest policy-making body, was equally concerned about the current state of faltering SDGs.
"The volume, magnitude, and scale of complex challenges to sustainable development are arguably both unprecedented and unrelenting. From deepening climate change and regional conflicts, to rising inequality and food insecurity, the challenges we face threaten to derail the goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda."
Yet, there is hope; hope that together "we can not only pull through but come out stronger, more resilient, and more sustainable", he noted.
According to The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022, released by the United Nations on July 7, the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and an increased number of conflicts around the world have placed the 17 SDGs in jeopardy.
The Report highlighted the severity and magnitude of the challenges facing, mostly developing nations, with cascading and intersecting crises creating spin-off impacts on food and nutrition, health, education, the environment, and peace and security, and affecting all the SDGs, the blueprint for more resilient, peaceful and equal societies.
The HLPF, attended by more than 125 heads of state and deputy heads of state, along with more than 2,000 ministers, high-ranking officials and other registered participants, is described as the central platform for follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs.
The meeting, whose theme was "Building back better from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development".
Goal 4. Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all
Goal 5. Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls
Goal 14. Conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 15. Protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, combating desertification, and halting and reversing land degradation and halting biodiversity loss
Goal 17. Strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development
The ministerial segment of the meeting, convened under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) took place July 13-15 with the adoption of a declaration.
Collen Vixen Kelapile, President of ECOSOC, told delegates: "As the world is struggling to recover from COVID-19 amidst continuing crises, the HLPF will reflect on how recovery policies can overcome the crises, reverse the negative impacts of the pandemic on the SDGs and move countries on to a path to realize the vision of the 2030 Agenda."
Stefan Schweinfest, Director of the Statistics Division in the United Nation's Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), said the COVID-19 pandemic halted or reversed years of development progress.
As of 2021, nearly 15 million people worldwide have died directly or indirectly due to COVID-19. More than four years of progress in alleviating extreme poverty have been wiped out, and 150 million more people facing hunger in 2021 than in 2019.
Over the past two years, an estimated 147 million children missed more than half of their in-person instruction. The pandemic severely disrupted essential health services. Immunization coverage dropped for the first time in a decade and deaths from tuberculosis and malaria increased.
As grim as the scenario sounds, he said, "We shall set a course for achieving the implementation of the 2030 Agenda through recovery and response: enact new ways of thinking and open up new possibilities".
In addition, before the pandemic, progress was being made on many important SDGs, such as reducing poverty, improving maternal and child health, increasing access to electricity, improving access to water and sanitation, and advancing gender equality.
As the SDG Report 2022 underscores the severity and magnitude of the challenges before us, this requires accelerated global-scale action committed to and following the SDG roadmap.
"We know the solutions and we have the roadmap to guide us in weathering the storm and coming out stronger and better together," said Schweinfest.
Achim Steiner, the Administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), said: "Unprecedented price surges mean that for many people across the world, the food that they could afford yesterday is no longer attainable today. This cost-of-living crisis is tipping millions of people into poverty and even starvation at breathtaking speed, and with that, the threat of increased social unrest grows by the day."
He pointed out that policymakers responding to the cost-of-living crisis face difficult choices, particularly in poorer nations. The challenge is how to balance meaningful short-term relief to poor and vulnerable households at a moment when most developing countries are struggling with shrinking fiscal space and ballooning debt.
"We are witnessing an alarming growing divergence in the global economy as entire developing countries face the threat of being left behind as they struggle to contend with the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, crushing debt levels and now an accelerating food and energy crisis", said Steiner.
"Yet new international efforts can take the wind out of this vicious economic cycle, saving lives and livelihoods—that includes decisive debt relief measures; keeping international supply chains open; and coordinated action to ensure that some of the world's most marginalized communities can access affordable food and energy."
The final declaration adopted after the meeting, included the following observations and commitments by the 193 member states:
We strongly reaffirm our commitment to the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, recognizing it as the blueprint for an inclusive, sustainable and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerating the decade of action and delivery for sustainable development, leaving no one behind.
We are gravely concerned that, for the first time in decades, the global poverty rate has increased, and millions have been pushed back into extreme poverty.
We further reaffirm the importance of achieving global food security and express deep concern over the drastic increase in hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity, increasing the risk of famine around the world, especially in developing countries.
We reiterate our commitment to reach the furthest behind first, as the pandemic and the deteriorating global economic situation are harming especially the poorest and most vulnerable and have direct consequences on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
We reaffirm that there can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development. We are gravely concerned, in this regard, by the increased and ongoing conflicts in the world, which are affecting global peace and security, respect for human rights and sustainable development. We call for full respect for the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law and condemn any violation of those principles and law. [IDN-InDepthNews – 18 July 2022]

Bj�rn Borg
Bj�rn Borg (born June 6, 1956) is a Swedish tennis player. He won 11 Grand Slam singles championships, and a total of 62 singles tournaments during his career. He was born in S�dert�lje.
Borg was the number 1 ranked player during 6 different stretches between 1977 and 1981, totalling 109 weeks. He retired in 1983, at the young age of 26, and in 1987 was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. Borg attempted a comeback in 1991, using his trademark wooden racquet, but it was unsuccessful.
Borg won 5 consecutive Wimbledon championships, in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1980. He also won 6 French Open titles, in 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981. Borg's most famous match was probably his 5-set win in the 1980 Wimbledon final over John McEnroe, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3,6-7 (16-18), 8-6.
Borg was noted for his baseline style of play and great endurance, and dubbed "The Ice Man" for his calm court demeanor. Along with Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, Borg elevated the game of tennis to new levels of popularity that were never before seen and have not been seen since.
After retiring aged 25, Borg partied away most of his money, suffered an overdose, and was rumoured to have attempted suicide. He later bounced back as the owner of the Bj�rn Borg fashion label, whose most noted advertising campaigns asked Swedes (from the pages of a leading national newspaper) to "Fuck for the Future".

Q: Can I rewrite an entire git repository's history to include something we forgot? We recently completed a conversion from Mercurial to Git, everything went smoothly, we were even able to get the transforms needed to make everything look / work relatively correctly in the repository. We added a .gitignore and got underway.
However we're experiencing some extreme slowdowns as soon as we encorporate/work with any of our old feature branches. A little exploring and we found that since the .gitignore was only added to the develop branch when we look at other commits without merging develop up into them git chuggs because it's choking trying to analyze all our build artifacts (binary files) etc... since there was no .gitignore file for these old branches.
What we'd like to do is effectively insert a new root commit with the .gitignore so it would retroactively populate in all heads/tags. We're comfortable with a re-write of history, our team is relatively small so getting everyone to halt for this operation and re-pull thier repositories when the history re-write is done is no problem.
I've found information about rebasing master onto a new root commit and this works for master, the problem is it leaves our feature branches detached on the old history tree, it also replays the entire history with a new commit date/time.
Any ideas or are we out of luck on this one?

A: What you want to do will involve two phases: retroactively add a new root with a suitable .gitignore and scrub your history to remove files that should not have been added.  The git filter-branch command can do both.
Setup
Consider a representative of your history.
$ git lola --name-status
* f1af2bf (HEAD, bar-feature) Add bar
| A     .gitignore
| A     bar.c
| D     main.o
| D     module.o
| * 71f711a (master) Add foo
|/
|   A   foo.c
|   A   foo.o
* 7f1a361 Commit 2
| A     module.c
| A     module.o
* eb21590 Commit 1
  A     main.c
  A     main.o

For clarity, the *.c files represent C source files and *.o are compiled object files that should have been ignored.
On the bar-feature branch, you added a suitable .gitignore and deleted object files that should not have been tracked, but you want that policy reflected everywhere in your import.
Note that git lola is a non-standard but useful alias.
git config --global alias.lola \
  'log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --all'

New Root Commit
Create the new root commit as follows.
$ git checkout --orphan new-root
Switched to a new branch 'new-root'

The git checkout documentation notes a possible unanticipated state of the new orphan branch.

If you want to start a disconnected history that records a set of paths that is totally different from the one of start_point, then you should clear the index and the working tree right after creating the orphan branch by running git rm -rf . from the top level of the working tree. Afterwards you will be ready to prepare your new files, repopulating the working tree, by copying them from elsewhere, extracting a tarball, etc.

Continuing our example:
$ git rm -rf .
rm 'foo.c'
rm 'foo.o'
rm 'main.c'
rm 'main.o'
rm 'module.c'
rm 'module.o'

$ echo '*.o' >.gitignore

$ git add .gitignore

$ git commit -m 'Create .gitignore'
[new-root (root-commit) 00c7780] Create .gitignore
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 .gitignore

Now the history looks like
$ git lola
* 00c7780 (HEAD, new-root) Create .gitignore
* f1af2bf(bar-feature) Add bar
| * 71f711a (master) Add foo
|/
* 7f1a361 Commit 2
* eb21590 Commit 1

That is slightly misleading because it makes new-root look like it is a descendant of bar-feature, but it really has no parent.
$ git rev-parse HEAD^
HEAD^
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD^': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

Make note of the SHA for the orphan because you will need it later.  In this example, it is
$ git rev-parse HEAD
00c778087723ae890e803043493214fb09706ec7

Rewriting History
We want git filter-branch to make three broad changes.

*

*Splice in the new root commit.

*Delete all the temporary files.

*Use the .gitignore from the new root unless one already exists.

On the command line, that is incanted as
git filter-branch \
  --parent-filter '
    test $GIT_COMMIT = eb215900cd15ca2cf9ded74f1a0d9d25f65eb2bf && \
              echo "-p 00c778087723ae890e803043493214fb09706ec7" \
      || cat' \
  --index-filter '
    git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch "*.o"; \
    git ls-files --cached --error-unmatch .gitignore >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
      git update-index --add --cacheinfo \
        100644,$(git rev-parse new-root:.gitignore),.gitignore' \
  --tag-name-filter cat \
  -- --all

Explanation:

*

*The --parent-filter option hooks in your new root commit.

*

*eb215... is the full SHA of the old root commit, cf. git rev-parse eb215

*The --index-filter option has two parts:

*

*Running git rm as above deletes anything matching *.o from the entire tree because the glob pattern is quoted and interpreted by git rather than the shell.

*Check for an existing .gitignore with git ls-files, and if it is not there, point to the one in new-root.

*If you have any tags, they will be mapped over with the identity operation, cat.

*The lone -- terminates options, and --all is shorthand for all refs.

The output you see will resemble
Rewrite eb215900cd15ca2cf9ded74f1a0d9d25f65eb2bf (1/5)rm 'main.o'
Rewrite 7f1a361ee918f7062f686e26b57788dd65bb5fe1 (2/5)rm 'main.o'
rm 'module.o'
Rewrite 71f711a15fa1fc60542cc71c9ff4c66b4303e603 (3/5)rm 'foo.o'
rm 'main.o'
rm 'module.o'
Rewrite f1af2bf89ed2236fdaf2a1a75a34c911efbd5982 (5/5)
Ref 'refs/heads/bar-feature' was rewritten
Ref 'refs/heads/master' was rewritten
WARNING: Ref 'refs/heads/new-root' is unchanged

Your originals are still safe. The master branch now lives under refs/original/refs/heads/master, for example. Review the changes in your newly rewritten branches. When you are ready to delete the backup, run
git update-ref -d refs/original/refs/heads/master

You could cook up a command to cover all backup refs in one command, but I recommend careful review for each one.
Conclusion
Finally, the new history is
$ git lola --name-status
* ab8cb1c (bar-feature) Add bar
| M     .gitignore
| A     bar.c
| * 43e5658 (master) Add foo
|/
|   A   foo.c
* 6469dab Commit 2
| A     module.c
* 47f9f73 Commit 1
| A     main.c
* 00c7780 (HEAD, new-root) Create .gitignore
  A     .gitignore

Observe that all the object files are gone. The modification to .gitignore in bar-feature is because I used different contents to make sure it would be preserved. For completeness:
$ git diff new-root:.gitignore bar-feature:.gitignore
diff --git a/new-root:.gitignore b/bar-feature:.gitignore
index 5761abc..c395c62 100644
--- a/new-root:.gitignore
+++ b/bar-feature:.gitignore
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
 *.o
+*.obj

The new-root ref is no longer useful, so dispose of it with
$ git checkout master
$ git branch -d new-root

A: Disclaimer: This is theoretical (based on documentation), I have not done this.
Clone and try.
From what I understand you have never commitedfiles that wouldnow be filtered by the .gitignoreyou want to add at the root of your history.
Therefore if you rebase your master branch onto a newroot commit containing only the .gitignore, you won't actually modify the content of the commits, and you should afterwards be able to rebase any and all of the other branches that you have onto the new commit, and rebase shall do the work for you.
Because the content of the commits is the same, the patch ID should remain the same, and rebase will only apply that which is necessary.
You will need to rebase each branch one by one though, but that can easily be scripted.
More info can be found in the git rebase documentation in section :
RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM REBASE at the end of the page.
EDIT: Ok nevermind, tested and doesn't work exactly this way. You have to give the point of rebase for each branch in the new history "manually", which is a pain.
Could still be made to work but it is clearly a worse solution than accepted answer.
