This no label release contains the two Madison Square Garden shows of 7 and 8 November 2009, during which Springsteen and the E Street Band played the complete albums The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle and The River. These concerts are hardly rarities on disc. The show of 8 November was initially released by Godfather in an audience recording under the title Into The River We Dive. This set came with a bonus disc, Serenade To NYC, containing the performance of The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle from 7 November together with the show's opening and closing numbers, Thundercrack and (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher, in audience-derived sound superior to that of the main release. Godfather also issued a second edition of Into The River We Dive in IEM-sourced sound, shorn of the bonus disc, but adding a solitary bonus track in the shape of Crush On You from the soundcheck. Crystal Cat released both shows, available separately as New York City First Dream Night and New York City Second Dream Night and together (with a slipcase and additional booklet) as New York City Dream Box. Initially, the Crystal Cat release was derived from audience recordings, but the label reisued first the 8 November show and then the 7 November show in IEM-sourced sound. Crystal Cat generously filled out the third discs for both shows with the complete performance from the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert of 29 October in an excellent audience recording. The performance of The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle was also included, together with Born In The U.S.A. from Giants Stadium on 3 October, on the Social Graces release Innocent And Glory Days. (Social Graces extended the complete album theme by including a bonus CD-R with Darkness On The Edge Of Town from Giants Stadium on 2 October.) Godfather's sister label, Apocalypse Sound also released an audience-shot DVD of the show from 8 November entitled The Night He went Down to the River.
Readers are referred to my previous reviews for my comments about the performances. The most apt comparison will be with the Crystal Cat set, which (like the release under consideration here) contains complete performances of both shows. As with the fellow Lighthouse-related Social Graces release, Madison Square Garden 2009 seems to be derived from the same source as the Crystal Cat set but the latter has the advantage of the numerous bonus tracks referred to above. However, Madison Square Garden 2009 has the advantage of avoiding Crystal Cat's catastrophic disc break which separated Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) and the preceding Incident On 57th Street, which are played, as on the original album, without a break.
The discs are housed in a thick jewel case with fairly simple front and back inserts showing onstage shots of Springsteen and band members. As can be seen above, the fromt cover also displays photographs of Springsteen's face taken from the sleeves of The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle and The River. The track listing appears on the back of the rear insert, in small but legible type, though the list of band personnel is in tiny type.

As with other Working On A Dream Tour releases from this source, Born To Run At The Palace Complete and Giants Stadium 2009, this set comes with bonus DVD-Rs derived from concerts from the Wrecking Ball Tour, though here we get two shows rather than one. The first is from Madison Square Garden on 9 April, the second of two shows at the venue.
As with the first show Springsteen and the E Street Band take the stage to the strains of Frank Sinatra singing New York New York. Brad Wete, writing on the UK Complex website, compares the show's opening with those of other acts:
"There were no bells and whistles when he and the crew strolled onto the stage. In an era where most acts arrive to computer graphics and pyrotechnics, at 8:26pm they walked on to 'New York, New York,' Frank Sinatra's Big Apple homage with the venue fully lit. No drama, just Bruce and Co."
The show opener is what attendee bossfan12, posting on the Stone Pony London message board, considers a "brilliant" rendition of Badlands.
Three of the next four numbers come from Wrecking Ball, beginning with a very strong performance of We Take Care Of Our Own. Wete then notes of the performance of the album's title track:
"There aren't many other performers whose stage presence is as intense as Bruce. On 'Wrecking Ball' when he sang, 'Take your best shot/ Let me see what you've got' with his fist wagging, the idea that he might actually whoop your ass was worth considering."
Christopher Phillips, on the Backstreets website, writes that, "in songs like 'Wrecking Ball' and 'Death to My Hometown' [Springsteen] was clearly heading into this set ready to take on all comers. After the latter, the Monday night crowd – again packed to the rafters, and more charged up than Friday's – responded with a 'Brooooce' that reverberated throughout the Garden."
In between these two fine performances, however, there is an unimpressive rendition of Out In The Street. Phillips states that, "a song the E Street Band has played approximately a gazillion times had them momentarily back on the ropes, with flubs peppering 'Out in the Street.'" Stan Goldstein, on nj.com, comments: "The third time in the past four shows this has been played but it still sounds a bit rough. Again there's confusion when Bruce asks other band members to sing along at the end ('Come on Stevie') as in past tour and no one really knows how to respond."
My City Of Ruins begins with a speech, which, though ostensibly establishing "peace and harmony…between our two great states," argues, in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, for the superiority of New Jersey, Springsteen pointing out, for example, that the song New York, New York was sung by a man from New Jersey. After telling the audience that, "we gotta get our lazy asses outta those seats," he concludes: "As usual, it all starts with a story, so tonight's story is about hellos and goodbyes and the things that leave us in this life and the things that remain with us for ever. So let's get started." This, of course, feeds into the later "roll call" of band members, which, movingly, is as much about the names omitted as the names mentioned.
Spirit In The Night is a "highlight" of the show according to Brucebase. Phillips comments that, "Jake came down for the solo while the whole horn section grooved; Bruce worked the lip of the stage hard throughout, hamming it up, leaning back into the crowd, collapsing to the floor on "his socks and his shirt" as the crowd sang along full-bore. 'All night!' It was a stone blast." Bossfan12 adds: "Spirit was great and very loose and fun and the story time intro was cool." The positive vibe is maintained by Thundercrack, played in response to a sign request. Phillips writes that, "Bruce made a show of staring at a sign reading 'Thundercrack for a birthday gal,' hands on his hips while the band vamped, before grabbing the sign and taking the challenge, and the band tore right in. It was, shall we say, loose, but there were thrilling moments – especially that extended instrumental passage. Soozie was center stage, facing off with Bruce and Nils, her bowstrings in tatters, the horns blaring away, Curtis and Cindy playing to the back – 'Thundercrack' in the round."
Philips was also rightly impressed with the following numbers, commenting: "The pairing of 'Jack of All Trades' into 'Trapped' is brilliant…'She's the One' took it even higher, a more atmospheric beginning tantalizing the crowd before the whole thing slammed in. Quite the tableau – you've got Jake wailing away on sax, Bruce leaping off the drum riser, Nils and Steve dueling on guitar and singing 'Ohhh she's the one' at the same mic, and no fewer than five pairs of maracas up there rattling away." Bossfan12 was also impressed, commenting: "Finally, She's the One was exceptional HOT tonight. Extended intro and it just rocked!"
A vibrant rendition of Easy Money, as Tailschao writes on Stone Pony London, has "Bruce noodling a little before the first verse," and Springsteen sharing vocals duties with Patti Scialfa. This is followed by Waitin' On A Sunny Day, with its usual vocal slot for a child from the audience. I found the performance of The Promised Land rather lacking in fire. The "Apollo Medley" of The Way You Do The Things You Do and 634-5789 (Soulsville U.S.A.) which as, marvin points out on the BTX setlist thread on Backstreets, "gives the singers (especially the backups) a chance to shine," is, as asecretstorm, also posting on that site, rightly contends, "a lot of fun."
As elsewhere on the tour Because The Night is a highlight of the show. Phillips considers that, "Nils' soloing worked its usual magic," and Goldstein state bys that this was, "where the show, which for whatever reason had slowed down, started to take off. Great guitar solo by Nils." However, reflecting the comments I made in my reviews of the recent Godfather releases La Vie En Rose and Au Clair De la Lune, Goldstein writes: "Patti sings along with Bruce at one point and it doesn't work. Not the best song for her to sing along on."
The Rising receives its usual strong performance and it is followed by an enjoyable rendition of We Are Alive, with its echoes of Johnny Cash and Ring Of Fire.
The tour premiere of Backstreets brings a tremendous performance which has garnered many plaudits. Phillips writes, after his comment on Out In The Street, that, "the show went like that for a while, with some ups and downs before coming on strong in the second half for the K.O. – which specifically, and gloriously, was 'Backstreets.'" He also considers it, "the finest performance…in recent memory. The Garden went nuts, and for good reason. Instrumentally, vocally, emotionally, it connected on every level." Brucebase considers the song a "highlight" of the show, as do scoper and bossfan12 on the Stone Pony London message board.
A splendid performance of Land Of Hope And Dreams, with a vocal introductory section, then closes the main set, the first time on the tour that a show did not end with Thunder Road. Bossfan12 commentsts that, "LOHAD was just excellent, Bruce and the band on fire through this one and a perfect coda to Backstreets. Great 1,2 punch."
The encore begins with Rocky Ground, before which Springsteen reminisces about watching televised boxing matches from Madison Square Garden as a child. He also promotes the work of WhyHunger and the Yorkville Common Pantry, organizations represented at the show, stating that, "food banks and food pantries have been essential organizations since the recession." Rocky Ground, with its vocal contribution from Michelle Moore, has, according to bossfan12, "come a long way and probably was one of the better performances of this song all tour." Rosalita is then played for only the second time on the tour in a riotous and hugely enjoyable performance, though Goldstein notes, "a screw up toward the end when the horns played the wrong part." The excitement then continues with standard encore fare in the shape of Born To Run, Dancing In The Dark and show closer Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out with its tribute to Clarence Clemons.
Overall this is a very good show and it is very enjoyable to watch and listen to. Phillips, as can be read above, frequently waxes hyperbolic and boosfan12 enthuses: "Another amazing show I have been to this tour. The tour only keeps getting better and better…Awesome show!!" Goldstein is more measured and rather more realistic: "Overall a very good show which got better as the night went on."
Discs three and four contain the Albany show played a week later. Springsteen and the band appear onstage accompanied by Elmer Bernstein's music from the film The Magnificent Seven. Springsteen shouts, "Albany! Prepare to be transformed!" before the band crashes into Badlands. The Republican reviewer Donnie Moorhouse writes of the show's early stages as follows:
"Springsteen opened the show with the lights on, slamming into full gear with 'Badlands,' before unleashing 'We Take Care of Our Own,' the lead single from the new release. He followed it up with the title track, building it from an acoustic intro to a full-blown anthem.
From anger and vitriol he moved directly to the sheer joy and abandon of 'Out in the Street,' and then veered back with the Celtic-fired 'Death to My Hometown.' He used the melancholy of 'City of Ruins' to introduce the band, pausing to reflect on those who had passed without mentioning them by name."
Next up is what Moorhouse calls "the romp-and-dance" Darlington County, one of two tour premieres from the Born In The U.S.A. album (the others being Downbound Train). Jack Of All Trades, according to the anonymous writer on the Backstreets website, "once again began a thematic trio, this time followed by Born in the U.S.A. outtake 'Murder Incorporated' and the premiere of 'Downbound Train.' It was a powerful trifecta." Murder Incorporated features guitar solos from Nils Lofgren, Springsteen and Steve Van Zandt, culminating in a duel between the latter two, making the song, in the words of the Backstreets writer, "just the kind of guitar fest you want it to be."
Shackled And Drawn again features Cindy Mizelle, and then Waitin' On A Sunny Day provides a vocal slot for a girl from the audience who is older than the majority of such participants. Springsteen then leaves the stage, hugging and dancing with a boy in the audience. The Promised Land is a stronger performance than that at MSG and it is again followed by the "Apollo Medley" of The Way You Do The Things You Do and 634-5789 (Soulsville U.S.A.), where Springsteen's crowd surfing allows for an extended contribution from the backing singers.
Janey Don't You Lose Heart, the third and final tour premiere, is played by sign request, and Springsteen tells the audience: "We haven't played this one in a long time. This is for Molly, in memory of her mom Janey." (Later, during the encores, Molly was pulled on stage to dance with Springsteen.) The acoustic version played here is a real rarity. Goldstein comments that:
"'Janey Don't You Lose Heart' which was on the B-side of the 'I'm Goin' Down' single in 1985, is a song not played a lot. It's only been played eight times since the start of the Magic Tour in 2007…What made Monday night's 'Janey' version even more special was that it was an acoustic version. Outside of being done several times that way on the Devils & Dust Tour in 2005, it is believed the last time Bruce performed it that way at a band show was on March 23, 1993 at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. And that was with the 'other' band."
It is nice to see and hear the song in this acoustic version, though it is not one of Springsteen's best compositions and his mid-song whistling fails to enhance the perfoemance. As bossfan78 writes on Backstreets' BTX forum, "I like the song well enough. Its pleasant, but really nothing more. It's exactly what it is: a halfway decent B-side, not some lost classic."
"The 'moment' that happens at almost every Springsteen concert (a remarkable feat) came with a cathartic 'Backstreets,'" writes Moorhouse and then the main set concludes in fine style with what he calls "a charge to the finish" in the shape of The Rising, Lonesome Day, We Are Alive and Land Of Hope And Dreams.
Thunder Road takes the first encore slot, followed by a fine Rocky Ground, before Born To Run, Dancing In The Dark and Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out form a conventional but nonetheless exciting concluding trio of numbers that is probably even more deserving of the description "a charge to the finish."
This is another very good performance. On Backstreets' BTX forum sinaloadan argues that, "this was one unbelievable show…The band sounded incredible and the audience was into it 100%, one of the best I've seen." Again, this is a touch hyperbolic. It is again an enjoyable performance, though not quite the equal of the Madison Square Garden show.
The Wrecking Ball DVD Bootleg List on the Stone Pony London website notes the sources for these two shows as:
"MSG 'NYCBC – Multi Cam STAGESHOT, Steady'
Albany 'NYCBC – Multi Cam SCREEN & STAGE (left side), steady/tripod'"
Picture quality for the Madison Square Garden show is very good, being clear and well-defined, and having a variety of camera angles definitely enhance one's viewing pleasure. Despite SPL stating that the whole show is stageshot, there is occasional use of screenshot, notably during Jack Of All Trades and Rocky Ground. For much of the show, I found the picture quality for the Albany show a little less impressive, the image being somewhat less clear and the colour slightly less natural, though I also thought that the quality was generally better in the latter half of the performance, perhaps even better than MSG at times. Each of the first three discs ends with footage of Cheech & Chong performing Mexican Americans prefaced by the warning that, "if you remove this video track you will compress the original footage and end up with a lossy version." The sound for both shows is, on the whole, pretty good (improving after the first 4-5 songs for the MSG concert), though I thought it a notch down from the sound of the recently reviewed Plays Epic Show In Philly (the bonus discs with Born To Run At The Palace Complete).
As with the main set, the bonus discs are housed in a thick jewel case with fairly simple front and back inserts displaying numerous onstage shots.
Overall, while an excellent on its own terms, this set does not displace previous releases. Crystal Cat's New York City Dream Box, as noted above, additionally contains the complete Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame performance, which is well worth having, and this can be supplemented by Innocent And Glory Days, which, among other splendid performances, contains the complete The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle without the offending disc break (indeed, the whole album performance is on the same disc). The two shows on the DVD-Rs are available on factory pressed discs on the Pignon label, the Madison Square Garden performance on Pay Me My Money Down and that from the Times Union Center on Who's Chasing Who? Those two releases also have the advantage of including the performances from Madison Square Garden on 6 April and the Tampa Bay Times Forum on 3 March respectively (though I have discovered while writing this review that my copy of Pay Me My Money Down is faulty and will not play the show from 6 April) and they also omit the footage of Cheech & Chong. Therefore, if you want the four shows under consideration in this review, rounding up these four releases will give you all four and some other very desirable material into the bargain.

English and Modern Languages
Return to: Colleges/Departments/Programs
The Department of English seeks to help prepare students to live in a complex, technological, and diverse world by introducing them to varying perspectives offered by a thorough study of literature and language. Through these perspectives, sociological and personal barriers may be broken down, and the possibilities as well as the paradoxes of human existence may be better understood.
The primary objectives of the English curriculum include the following:
To encourage students to think critically and to communicate their thoughts effectively by helping them develop the skills necessary to understand and utilize the English language;
To contribute to the liberal arts education of all students by exposing them to the diversity and richness of the world's best literature;
To prepare English education majors to become reflective problem solvers, capable of teaching English on the middle or secondary levels, in a country as ethnically diverse as ours;
To provide students, particularly English majors, with a broad background in languages and literature which will enable them to pursue graduate study;
To give English and English education majors a knowledge of the basic tools of effective written communication, technology, and an understanding of literature that will enable them to pursue any vocation and function in a diverse and global work world.
By exposing students to a study of the language and literature of other countries, the modern language component of the University seeks to help prepare students for life in a multinational, multicultural global society. The primary objectives of the modern language program include the following:
To provide a vital and useful part of a student's liberal arts education;
To help students gain an international perspective by introducing them to the language, literature, and culture of other countries;
To give students an adequate background in French, German, or Spanish sufficient to pursue graduate study, or to pursue a professional career in which a knowledge of one or more modern languages is necessary;
To impress upon students the value associated with a knowledge of modern languages in such areas as written and oral skills, literature, and culture.

Non-lethal Self-Harm in the Prison Environment.
Tudor CIUHODARU, Magdalena IORGA,Laura Carmen CIUHODARU, Octavia CIUHODARU
Ciuhodaru, T., Iorga, M., Ciuhodaru, L.C., Ciuhodaru, O. (2013). Non-lethal Self-Harm in the Prison Environment. Revista de Cercetare si Interventie Sociala ,40, 37-47.
The prison environment represents a supplemental risk factor in the increased frequency of non-lethal self-harm among inmates, by comparison with the general population. The paper aims at defining the socio-demographic characters of those inmates who carried out the act by chemical means (drug intoxication or the consumption of other toxic substances) – classified as substance abuse, in contrast with the inmates who chose to act by physical means (plagues at various levels and/or ingestion of alien bodies). Between January 2009 – December 2009, 771 patients with autolytic acts were registered at the ER of the Sf. Ioan Emergency Hospital in Ia[i; 175 of these were inmates of the Ia[i Maximum Security Prison. The following variables were registered for all patients: sex, age, date of hospitalisation (the month and the day of the week are of special interest), time of the autolytic act, number of previous autolytic attempts, psychiatric disorders, method of choice, whether treatment was accepted or refused and whether the person needed hospitalisation or was treated as an outpatient. The data was processed by SPSS 10.0 for Windows. It resulted that the patients who had used mechanical means had a significantly higher average age, more frequent relapses, a maximum of hospital registrations in the months of May and February, and on Mondays. Self-injury by means of substance abuse was carried out by averagely younger patients, who had fewer relapse episodes, by whom the act was carried out most often in May and September, and on Saturdays. Regardless of the means chosen, most of these acts took place throughout the morning, when staff in charge with surveillance was present in the highest numbers. Given that numerous patients refuse treatment, or receive sufficient treatment as outpatients, the hypothesis takes shape that many of these acts are demonstrative.
Suicidal behaviour; self-harm; non-lethal self-injury; substance abuse.

Building of the fomer Jewish hospital
Israelite Home for the Elderly and Invalid
Synagogue St, 29
Next to the former synagogue "Groise Shil", you will see another building that is directly connected with the Jewish history of the town. Here, on Synagogue Street #29, there used to be the Israelite Home for the Elderly and Invalid. Next to it was the Jewish hospital. Today, the area is owned by a construction company, and not publicly accessible. One gets the best look at the building standing in front of the entrance to the former synagogue.
The Home for the Invalid and Elderly was the last big project of the Jewish community of Chernivtsi during the Habsburg period. The construction lasted from 1908 until 1911 and was made possible thanks to a generous contribution by Josef Blum, a member of the Bukovinian parliament. The institution continued to operate during the interwar period, when Chernivtsi was part of the Romanian kingdom. In 1940, the Soviet authorities nationalized the building. In 1941, the Home for the Invalid and Elderly, with the adjoining Jewish hospital, was located on the territory of the Chernivtsi Ghetto.
In her interview with Centropa, Sylvia Segenreich, who was born in 1926 in Chernivtsi into a Jewish family, shared her vivid memories of this dramatic time:
My father remained in hiding. My mother was having contractions and I, at 15, had to look after the whole family. Luckily my aunt's younger son was blond with blue eyes. He put on boots and looked just like an SS officer. Somewhere he found a little cart, put my mother in this cart, and we went to the Jewish hospital. She gave birth there. There, gravely ill people were standing on the street. They had thrown the Jews out of all the hospitals and they were all there. Then I went home alone. There was nothing to eat in the hospital, nothing!
Chernivtsi was under Romanian authority and the Romanians weren't as bad as the Germans. My Aunt Mania and I went to the Romanian captain; we told him in Romanian, "We are starving to death. Our entire house is filled with Jews, my mother is in the hospital, and the people in the hospital don't have anything to eat. We know that the Russians left food behind." The Romanian was very nice and said that we should come at 6am. He would send away the guard standing outside the ice houses and we'd have half an hour to take whatever we could carry. We went with bowls and everyone in the house got something, and I packed some provisions for the hospital. The nurses were anxiously waiting for me. But I wasn't allowed on the street at this time. I braided my hair, dressed up like a country girl, and went barefoot. That's how I became the breadwinner. (…) When my sister was born, we did not even have diapers. We tore up bed linens and used them as diapers. My sister was born on July 14, 1941 – five days after my brother had been murdered by the Germans.
After the war the Soviet authorities used the building as a hospital section, which existed until 1996. Due to the danger of landslides and due to the bad condition of the building, the hospital was relocated. In 2000 it became a property of a construction company and unfortunately is not accessible for tourists.

How to register my work ?
- by Soleau envelope, submitted to the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle in Paris, or to the regional offices of the I.N.P.I. or registries of commercial courts for people living in other areas of France.
- by delivery to yourself or a third party of a registered letter containing the document identifying the work. The envelope must be kept sealed: it must only be opened by a court when or if it is called to decide on a dispute. Important: frequently, courts refuse to take this proof into account if there is any possible doubt of falsification. Therefore, it is recommended to take all necessary precautions to guarantee the integrity of the letter (seal the envelope, wrap it round with tape, affix the registered post sticker on the flap of the envelope etc.).
- with the Société civile des Auteurs Multimédias and Société des Gens de Lettres.
Important : registration attests to the date and contents but is not proof of paternity.

Time to scream in space again!
Finally, after the incredibly boring "Prometheus," Ridley Scott gave us #AlienCovenant which reminds us exactly why we sci-fi horror fans have always loved this franchise. This is not only a return to form, this movie will scare you to your core. Undeniably terrifying. Katherine Waterston's character Daniels may not be completely equal to Sigourney Weaver's iconic character Ripley but Daniels is badass in her own right.
Scripted by John Logan and Dante Harper with story by Jack Paglen and Michael Green and directed by the man who helmed the first original "Alien" film, "Alien: Covenant" is essentially a sequel to "Prometheus." You get to see what happens to Elizabeth Shaw and David, while at the same time there's a crew of a colony ship arriving on a remote planet that they think is an uncharted paradise but the reality is far more sinister. They then must fight their way to escape the ever present threat.
A couple of things in "Alien: Covenant" that I think stand out, one of which is the interaction between the dual roles that Michael Fassbender has to play in this film. As both Walter and David, Fassbender is like two sides of the same coin but he understands that one is ambitious while the other is protective so the Oscar-nominated actor successfully conveys those differences through his performance. Walter and David provide the profundity that basically motivates the chaos at hand. The other thing that I genuinely enjoy is the film's consistency in its terror. It doesn't take too long of a breather time, it goes on a fight or flight survival mode every other ten minutes or so which is great because you get exactly what you're paying to see.
I feel like with "Alien: Covenant," Ridley Scott learns his lesson that while it may have been important to build things up and create the context through "Prometheus," but taking what makes this franchise great out of the equation was not a smart move. So in this one, it's on hyperdrive, especially with the white Xenomorph-like creatures, called Neomorph, they are as vicious as they get. They're faster and more cunning and how they burst out of a human body is more sadistic. Fantastic work by those involved in designing those crazy bastards. Using today's visual effects technology, Scott and his team also manage to orchestrate intense action-packed sequences for this film that they probably could only imagine doing back in 1979. Speaking of which, I think some fans out there might see "Alien: Covenant" as some kind of a rehash in the same way that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" may have been a rehash of the original "Star Wars" film, in that they will be able to point out similarities. But just like that case, in that same manner, I think "Alien: Covenant"s purpose is to bring back that fright, to bring back that scare factor and to reinvigorate this franchise once more.

The Wildcats also are in the middle of tough run. After Michigan, they face undefeated Iowa in Evanston before hitting the road to play a desperate Nebraska team. A bye week then stands between them and Penn State.
Meanwhile, since a tough opening loss to Utah on the road, the Wolverines have roared back, especially on defense. Will playing in the Big House Saturday give them the edge in what appears to be a most evenly-matched game?
Michigan, under defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, is ranked nationally in total defense (No. 2), passing yards allowed (No. 3) and rushing defense (No. 5). The last time a Michigan defense held four-straight opponents to seven points or less was 30 years ago -- when Harbaugh was its quarterback.
Northwestern and Michigan get together at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Check out this post from the Detroit Free Press that talks about a big loss for that Michigan defense and preparations for the Northwestern game.

Ohio State keeps searching for its power
The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to be the biggest mystery in the league despite their unblemished record.
Is it an issue of simply finding the right spots on the field for so much overwhelming talent?
Of course, that's what Urban Meyer is getting paid so handsomely to figure out. And yet an offense with so many big expectations, one that appeared so dominant against Virginia Tech in the opener, has looked disjointed and underwhelming since.
It took a monster second half of running by tailback Ezekiel Elliott (274 yards and three long touchdown runs) to rescue the Buckeyes offensively at Indiana last Saturday. Meanwhile, former star quarterback Braxton Miller has all but disappeared as a receiver and starting quarterback Cardale Jones has looked pedestrian. Meanwhile, former standout starter J.T. Barrett watches from the sideline.
The results have not been pretty: The Buckeyes managed only six first-half points against the Hoosiers and only 20 for the entire game against Northern Illinois.
Also, turnovers and mistakes have proved costly. Despite rolling up 517 yards at Indiana they also turned the ball over three times and needed a last-gasp defensive stand just to survive.
Think about that. It took Elliott running for the second-highest single-game total in Ohio State history for the Buckeyes to hold off Indiana in the final seconds.
Let the Columbus Dispatch give you a more in-depth look at what ails No. 1 Ohio State.
Where do the Illini go from here?
It's uncertain how much we truly learned about the potential of the Illinois Fighting Illini from their remarkable, last-second victory Saturday.
Mostly because their victim was self-destructive Nebraska, losers late three times already this fall.
Coming in, the Illini seemed to be in questionable shape under interim head coach Bill Cubit. After opening blowouts over lesser-lights, they were manhandled at North Carolina and needed every bit of mojo to edge Middle Tennessee State.
And then they rally from a 13-point hole in the fourth quarter to upset Nebraska?
The Huskers had every opportunity to put this away, especially on their final possession. They elected to pass on fourth down at the Illinois 28 yard line, knowing the Illini had no timeouts remaining.
Even then, the Illini only had enough time to complete their rally because of hitting a 50-yard pass and because of two ensuing pass interference penalties -- giving them six final shots at the end zone.
Illinois is displaying a much improved defense but also lost offensive sparkplug Josh Ferguson to injury. That will be most critical to monitor, particularly when they travel to undefeated Iowa this week. Check out this piece to follow the story line.

Ex-CIA chief: "Bitcoins are easier to trace than cash
Ex-CIA chief: "Bitcoins are easier to trace than cash"!
Former U.S. CIA chief Michael Morell said governments should use blockchain to track illegal activity. Michael Morell called it an exaggeration for regulators to say that bitcoin is used by criminals to launder money, finance terrorism and evade taxes.
According to the former intelligence officer, blockchain technology is very useful for regulators. So governments should not avoid blockchain, but rather view it as a tool to detect illicit activity and bring criminals to justice. This is the conclusion Morell came to during his joint research with the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), a cryptocurrency alliance backed by Coinbase and Square. The information recorded on the blockchain remains open and cannot be changed. Therefore, tracking illegal bitcoin transactions is much easier than detecting the illegal movement of cash across borders. According to Morell, if all criminals used cryptocurrencies, it would have eliminated illicit financial activity long ago. However, that contradicts a report last year by Chainalysis, an analytics company that works with law enforcement agencies around the world.
According to Chainalysis, bitcoin use on the darknet continues to grow. Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Fed Chair Janet Yellen expressed concern that cryptocurrencies are used for drug trafficking. In addition, a few months ago, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde called on regulators to tighten controls over bitcoin because the cryptocurrency is used for "dirty business" and money laundering. However, the former CIA chief believes that such statements are not based on concrete data and come from those who are not aware of the principles of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. People are simply afraid of what they don't understand, Morell said. In doing so, he mentioned the difficulties associated with decentralized exchanges. Given that such exchanges provide an increased level of anonymity, this can increase the opportunities for the illegal movement of money. Recall that last year, the CIA launched a new research unit to study blockchain capabilities.

If you intend to write your doctoral thesis at UW and conduct its defense in German, you must be able to show that your command of German is at least at level 2 of the German Language Proficiency Test for University Admission (DSH) or of the TestDaF (German as a Foreign Language Test). The doctoral degree regulations of many subjects at UW also allow English as the language for the thesis and defense. The matter should be clarified in the first instance with your future supervisor, whose consent must be obtained for use of a language other than German.
Unless they have the written permission of their examinations board to write and defend their thesis in a foreign language, doctoral students and applicants who are not native speakers of German and who did not graduate at a German speaking university or institute must, by the end of the fourth semester of their doctoral program, provide evidence of proficiency in German in the form of the DSH level 2 certificate or its equivalent.
TestDaf can be taken in Germany and at authorized centers worldwide. Further information on centers and examination dates is available at TestDaF Institute.
Applicants who intend to take the DSH test at UW must – along with evidence of their admission to a doctoral program – provide evidence of proficiency in German (B2 level certificate of the European Framework of Reference for Languages, or Test DaF with at least level 3 in all parts of the test).
The DSH test is held twice a year at UW (March/September). Information on exact dates can be obtained from the International Office or the web pages of UW's Language Learning Institute (LLI). An entrance fee (currently €150) is charged to partly cover costs.
A limited number of international doctoral students at UW can attend German courses provided by the Language Learning Institute (LLI). A fee of €500 per semester is charged to partly cover costs. As these are full-time courses, the matter should first be discussed with your supervisor.
Regular intensive German courses are offered by the LLI throughout the year, progressing from levels A1 & A2 (elementary) to B1 & B2 (intermediate). Placement at a specific level is on the basis of a test held at the beginning of the course. The courses are 40 weeks long with at least 20 hours teaching per week.
Family members can attend these German courses for a maximum of 2 semesters and must also have university enrollment as informal auditors – Gasthörer – and have paid the additional Gasthörer fee (currently €100 per semester).
For information on summer language schools at German universities, as well as on publicly funded and private German language courses in the Wuppertal region, contact the International Office.
DAF German as a Foreign Language Test (TestDaf) with grade 4 pass in all sections. TestDaf (www.testdaf.de) can be taken in Germany or at authorized centers abroad.
For doctoral students who have been exempted from the DSH test, UW also provides specialist German language courses. These courses are voluntary and free of charge (see below).

Nets: Antoine Walker calls out BK over Jacque Vaughn treatment
by Jerry Trotta 4 months ago Follow @JTrotta24
Fox Sports analyst Antoine Walker called out the Nets for their treatment of assistant Jacque Vaughn.
The Brooklyn Nets' decision to hire Steve Nash as their next head coach has been met with mixed reviews among the media and fans, and understandably so, as he legitimately has zero coaching experience.
The most notable exposure Nash has had in an NBA organization post-retirement was his player development consultant role with Golden State. Though the Warriors clearly valued his opinion, the reason we didn't hear much of him in that position was because it wasn't entirely imperative.
That's not to say we disagree with Brooklyn's decision to appoint Nash. We're merely conveying that we recognize why some folks would have preferred to see one of the other rumored candidates come out on top.
Fox Sports analyst Antoine Walker falls under that category. While he's an advocate to see "new blood" on the sidelines, he didn't appreciate how the Nets treated Jacque Vaughn after his masterful showing as the interim coach.
Antoine Walker: What Nets did to Jacque Vaughn is 'a slap in the face'https://t.co/KBbDRmQcaw
— Nets Wire (@thenetswire) September 8, 2020
"I think that there's some other candidates that deserved a look," Walker told Brandon Robinson on Heavy Live. "I think it's a little disappointing when we don't give guys a certain look and I wouldn't necessarily pinpoint it at being racial. But if I'm going through a coaching search, how do you not sit down with Tyronn Lue who's coached the best player in the game in LeBron James?"
"Then how do you; and this is what made me the most upset, is you watch a guy like Jacque Vaughn, who's been around your guys, do a tremendous job with your guys. But you don't feel like he's good enough to be the head (coach). But he's good enough to make him the highest-paid assistant. I don't know; and I understand Jacque's position and I know he wants to keep a job, but to me that's a slap in the face to do that."
If you are an avid reader of our content, you probably know that we were campaigning for Vaughn to get the nod for how well Brooklyn's decimated roster performed under his tutelage. He led the Nets to a 7-3 record (pre- and post-restart) before they were unsurprisingly swept by Toronto in the first round of the playoffs.
Jacque Vaughn was dissed by Nets says Antoine Walker: https://t.co/8o8T5tIEO0
"You don't feel like he's good enough to be the head. But he's good enough to make him the highest paid assistant."

— 👑📍Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson, M.A. (@ScoopB) September 8, 2020
It's duly noted that general manager Sean Marks interviewed Vaughn for the former vacancy and ultimately kept him on the staff by making him the league's highest-paid assistant. However, Walker isn't out of bounds to say that Vaughn should view Nash's unanticipated appointment as a back-handed compliment.
We'd love nothing more than to lambaste Walker for coming down on the Nets, but it's really hard to disagree with his analysis here. It's totally reasonable to be on board with the Nash hire but to also be dissatisfied that Vaughn wasn't given more of a chance after exceeding expectations in his interim post.
That's where we stand in all of this. It felt like things were already decided months ago … because they were.

The 'Right Track' to Navigate the Cancer Experience
Katie Kosko
"You have cancer." Those words are often followed by an overload of oncology terms: immunotherapy, precision medicine, genomic testing, clinical trials, progression-free survival, overall survival. It's an ever-growing list.
But what if there was a roadmap to guide patients before they begin to feel overwhelmed? Five leading cancer advocacy organizations — the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), LUNGevity Foundation, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the Prostate Cancer Foundation — have come to a consensus on four steps that patients of all malignancies can turn to as they navigate their experience.
First, patients need to find the right team. That means locating the best experts and centers with extensive experience in treating their specific cancer. Next, they should ensure they receive the right tests, meaning the right information and a precise diagnosis. The right team and tests can then lead to proper treatment, which will include a plan and potentially identify clinical trials. Finally, patients should share their data throughout their journey. This step can potentially help not only themselves, but others with the same type of cancer.
A recent study published in The Cancer Journal evaluated where gaps in knowledge exist. It was conducted by the Harvard Business School Kraft Precision Medicine Accelerator, a multidisciplinary initiative focused on four integrated workstreams to advance precision medicine. The five cancer organizations are working as part of the Accelerator's Direct to Patient workstream.
"What we found is there is an incredible opportunity to help patients get on the right track with tips on how they can research physicians and arm them with the right information to be proactive and informed," Lori Marcus, who chairs the Direct-To-Patient workstream of the Kraft Precision Medicine Accelerator and has held C-level roles with multiple consumer companies including PepsiCo and Keurig Green Mountain Inc., told CURE in an interview.
The study included patients with pancreatic (108 patients), multiple myeloma (86 patients), metastatic breast (86 patients), lung (56 patients) and prostate (50 patients) cancers. They were all residents of the United States, aged 25 years or older and recruited through email or social media invitation. Patients reported being somewhat knowledgeable of their disease and having some input in treatment decisions.
They were asked to complete an online survey to demonstrate awareness of and barriers to making important medical care decisions. Questions pertained to information such as how they found their physician, or if they were familiar with the term precision medicine and if they had done tissue banking.
"We want to make sure that we are reaching every patient so that they and their doctor have the most cutting-edge, precision-based information to have optimized care," Anne Quinn Young, MPH, senior vice president of Marketing and Communications at the MMRF and co-author of the study, said.
Upon examining the patient-reported survey, the authors determined that the majority (61 to 76 percent) of patients were referred to their treating physician rather than choosing one themselves. Only 24 to 29 percent of patients among the five tumor types selected their physician.
The authors also discovered that only 36 to 52 percent of patients have ever heard of precision medicine. Genomic testing was not widely known either, with 3 to 38 percent of patients reporting they were very familiar with it. The rate of genomic testing was highest in the lung cancer group and lowest in the prostate cancer group. Among the patients who did not have genomic testing, most (47 to 81 percent) revealed that it wasn't offered.
In addition to genomic testing, tissue banking has also become increasingly important in the research area of cancer. It can be used to help develop new drug targets and discover new biomarkers. However, only 22 to 28 percent of patients had banked tissue samples. The majority doing so prior to starting therapy.
"Part of what these trusted third-party foundations do is they can help navigate people, whether it's through their websites or call centers," Marcus said. "They can help them find their way to a National Cancer Institute-designated center, understand the importance of a second opinion and provide the questions to ask to determine if a doctor sees a lot of different patients with their type of cancer."
Clinical trial enrollment was also low (less than 15 percent) – and there may be good explanation for this statistic: Patients reported that they feared they would receive a placebo, which is a common misperception. "People don't realize that they will at least minimally get the standard of care," Marcus said.
The survey results also showed that there is a lack of physician recommendation for clinical trials. "This goes back to having the right team," Quinn Young said. "Because even if you're being seen by an amazing center you can still get a referral to participate in a clinical trial somewhere else, you're not bound to stay at that one center."
An exciting finding of the study is that nearly all (86 to 100 percent) patients said that they were willing to share their data to accelerate cancer research. Patients can do so in a variety of ways: Letting organizations know that you're out there and willing to share, participating in surveys or becoming part of a patient registry.
"If I could get patients to go from a passive perspective … to understand that they can play an active role to ensure they get the best precision medicine outcomes," Marcus said. "They don't have to know all the answers, but arming themselves with a little bit of information, a little bit of research and asking the right questions — especially early on in their process — can improve their own outcomes and outcomes for other people."

In VS2010 I do File | New | Project, select S#arp Architecture Application, give it a name and hit 'OK'.  And I receive the following errors:
"A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'sharptest.Core'.  A project with that name is already opened in the solution."
"A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'sharptest.ApplicationServices'.  A project with that name is already opened in the solution."
... (it continues like this for each project)
I have not found any clear documentation regarding this issue.  I would appreciate help from someone who has successfully gotten a project based on the sharp architecture project template up and running successfully on a 64bit O/S running vs2010.  Thanks.

Making impossible
Making impossible 'quite possible'
ByDushyantDushyant / Updated: Jun 26, 2020, 00:15 IST
The Rath Yatra is being organized in a restricted manner this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (ANI Photo)
18th June: "Lord Jagannath will not forgive us if we allow this." 22nd June: This is allowed. In a span of four days, the Supreme Court of India changed its decision on allowing the Jagannath Rath Yatra. In the second order, the court notes that in the previous hearing "we were informed that it would be well-nigh impossible to ensure that there is no congregation". It then notes that now it is being told that a yatra with a limited number of people is indeed possible. It makes no attempt at asking what caused the change from 'impossible' to 'possible' in a matter of four days, especially given that the matter affects public health.
In the second order, the court also lays down several conditions to give the impression that it is trying to be fair. One such condition is that the 500 people pulling the chariot will be tested for corona and it is only after they test negative will they be allowed to pull the chariot. There are, however, countless cases of false negatives in the first testing. In a prominent example that made the news recently, the Delhi health minister tested negative the first time but soon tested positive.
A study by researchers from John Hopkins University, reported in nearly every major Indian newspaper, says as much: Testing people for Covid-19 too early in the course of infection may result in a false negative diagnosis, even though they may eventually test positive for the virus. One positive case is enough to lead to an outbreak.
In the first order, the court makes the effort of reproducing Article 25 of the Constitution of India, and pointing out that freedom of religion is subject to public health. In the second order, there is no mention of the Article. I could go on and on pointing out the contradictions, but I worry that to do this is to pretend that the problem is a lapse in reasoning. Whereas it appears that the truth is far more depressing.
A vile consensus appears to have permeated every sinew of our nation's being. We appear to have collectively agreed that those who belong to one religion are well above others. They have a wild card out of every norm every law. Most laws have an exception clause, called a 'saving' clause in legalese. It is almost as if a saving clause has been written into the Constitution, every law, every practice, every norm, every rule.
So while the entire country will lay blame for the pandemic on the shoulders of not just a certain group/sect but on all Indian Muslims, for the majority religion, religious gatherings will not only be permitted but institutions will embarrass themselves and engage in bizarre legal and verbal acrobatics to extend sanctity to them.
It is this according of sanctity that adds insult to injury. In popular discourse the conclusion is, what they did was wrong and what we are doing is right because we took permission from the court. You can argue yourself hoarse by pointing out that the other gathering happened before lockdown, how does a public health hazard stop becoming a public health hazard just because it has received legal sanction and so on. You can point to the pervasive trend of discrimination- peaceful protestor of religion x in prison, violence inciter of religion y enjoying freedom and so on. You can ask, imagine if Muslims had gone to the court asking for similar permission. It doesn't matter.
Constitutional issues like the legality of electoral bonds will be delayed perpetually, Habeas Corpus petitions will not be heard for weeks if not months, but the top court in the country decided within days in religious matters.
It could just be me, but I have a feeling that not only is this discrimination rampant, there is also an element of collective smugness about it. It's not a secret. Great care doesn't need to be taken to hide it. Everyone is in on it. Everyone knows this is how it is.
On a different note, I have often felt envy for those who go to courts with petitions seeking creative reliefs – change India's name for example. I don't have the courage nor the ability to pay costs if imposed but if I could, I would go to the court and ask for the establishment of a court which is only and only guided by the Constitution of India. As proponents of Ramdev's controversial cure/non-cure for coronavirus are saying – at least try it once.

Concept 2 RowErg Review: Pros, Cons, Cost, and More – Healthline
Many people love the feeling of rowing outdoors. Unfortunately, not every day can be spent out on the water — that's where rowing machines come in.
In addition to offering a solution for rainy days, rowing machines provide a low impact way to get a full-body workout.
The Concept 2 RowErg (previously known as the Model D Rower) is an indoor rowing machine that's popular with serious rowers, Olympians, and CrossFit enthusiasts.
However, it isn't cheap, and you may be wondering whether it's worth the cost.
We've compiled all the essential information you need to know to determine whether the Concept 2 RowErg is the right fit for your home gym.
Concept 2 has been creating exercise equipment for more than 40 years.
The brand currently manufactures two indoor rowing machines: the classic RowErg and the Dynamic RowErg.
The models differ in price, features, and design, with the Dynamic RowErg being more expensive and intended for people who typically row on the water.
The RowErg is the company's more popular model. Designed by rowers, it's built to support heavy training by Olympic athletes and competitive rowers while also being approachable for beginners.
The RowErg is available with either Standard legs (previously known as the Model D) or Tall legs (previously known as the Model E).
The classic RowErg is commonly found in commercial gyms, yet its price and size also make it suitable for a home gym.
The Concept 2 RowErg currently retails for $900 with Standard legs and $1,050 with Tall legs.
Those prices don't include taxes or shipping, both of which vary by location.
If you purchase a rower directly from the company, you can return the machine within 30 days for a full refund.
The Concept 2 RowErg is covered by a 5-year frame warranty and a 2-year limited warranty on parts.
To take advantage of the warranty, you'll need to contact the company and reference the serial number on your machine.
The RowErg is built from durable aluminum and finished with a black powder coat. It's also easy to assemble, requiring just a few steps and eight screws.
When fully assembled, the RowErg measures 8 feet × 2 feet (244 cm × 61 cm). For full range of motion, it's recommended to have a 9-foot × 4-foot (274-cm × 122-cm) exercise space.
The RowErg is available with either Standard or Tall legs. Depending on the option you choose, the seat height measures 14 inches (36 cm) or 20 inches (51 cm) from the floor, respectively.
While it's not foldable, the machine easily separates into two pieces for convenient storage.
The rower accommodates users of many sizes, with a maximum weight capacity of 500 pounds (226.8 kg). Additionally, rowers with an inseam of 38 inches (96.5 cm) or longer can contact the company for an extra-long monorail.
While it doesn't offer a touch screen, the RowErg is equipped with a powerful Performance Monitor (PM5) that can track and store key stats such as pace, power, stroke rate, and calories burned.
The monitor is able to self-calibrate and is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing you to connect to more than 30 training apps, including the company's ErgData app.
You can also stream classes or TV shows on your own tablet using the rower's built-in device holder.
Other notable features include adjustable footrests and an ergonomic handle.
The RowErg uses air resistance and offers 10 damper settings that allow you to change your resistance by adjusting the airflow to the flywheel.
While the flywheel design is meant to help reduce noise, one of the main complaints about the machine is that it's still quite loud.
The Concept 2 RowErg has an average 4.9 rating from more than 8,000 reviews on Amazon and a 5-star rating from more than 1,200 reviews on Rogue Fitness.
The company itself is well respected, and customers confirm that the machine is sturdy and made to last.
Furthermore, customers who have experienced issues with the rower mention that Concept 2's customer service team was highly responsive and quick to resolve the issue.
The main complaint about the RowErg is that it's quite noisy.
In addition to cost, the major difference between the two models is how the machines move.
The RowErg operates similarly to other indoor rowers, with the seat gliding forward and back as you pull on the handles.
In contrast, the Dynamic RowErg is designed to more closely replicate the feel of rowing on the water — the seat is stationary, and your feet do the sliding.
The Dynamic RowErg also offers an adjustable monitor arm, comes in a silver powder-coated finish, and is slightly more compact.
While the RowErg costs $900 or $1,050, depending on the leg height, the Dynamic retails for $1,250.
Indoor rowing machines are not new, and while the Concept 2 RowErg is popular, it does have its fair share of competitors.
One of these is Xebex, which offers three rowing machines: the Xebex 2.0, Xebex Smart Connect, and Xebex 3.0.
Similar to the RowErg, Xebex rowers include a flywheel and damper for resistance. However, the Concept 2 RowErg has a more powerful motor, and many reviewers find the RowErg's handlebars more comfortable to hold.
Still, because Xebex is less expensive and still gym-quality, it's worth considering if the RowErg doesn't fit your budget.
Another competitor is the Matrix Rower. One major difference between the RowErg and the Matrix Rower is the source of resistance. The Matrix uses magnetic resistance, rather than air, and is therefore much quieter.
The Matrix also offers more resistance levels, though its resistance doesn't feel as similar to water rowing as the RowErg's. Furthermore, the monitor on the Matrix is less powerful and not as precise as the RowErg's PM5.
If you're looking for a rower with more high tech features, you'll want to consider the Hydrow Rower.
Both machines are high quality. However, the Hydrow offers a large touch screen that allows you to stream immersive on-the-water rowing videos and participate in team races.
Here's a quick look at how these rowers compare:
The Concept 2 RowErg is a favorite among people of all fitness levels. Whether you're a professional athlete training for a race or you're simply looking for a full-body workout from the comfort of home, the RowErg easily adjusts to meet your needs.
The rower features a solid, sturdy design; accurate performance metric tracking; and a smooth, fluid motion. It also offers Bluetooth connectivity and a built-in device holder, making it easy to track your stats and stream instructor-led classes.
With that said, it isn't the most affordable option on the market. It's also not a good fit if you prefer the high tech features of a smart machine.
However, if you're looking for a gym-quality, no-frills rower, it's hard to beat the Concept 2 RowErg.
The Concept 2 RowErg builds on the legacy of Concept 2 rowing machines. It's easy to assemble, provides a challenging workout regardless of your fitness level, and is designed to last.
While it lacks high tech features such as a touch screen and built-in speakers, its accurate tracking and fluid motion make it a favorite among professional and novice rowers alike.

Het Internationaal Opiumverdrag (Frans: Convention internationale de l'Opium) was een op 23 januari 1912 onder de auspiciën van de Volkenbond gesloten verdrag dat als doel had het misbruik van opium, morfine en cocaïne en hun derivaten tegen te gaan. Het was het eerste verdrag dat de handel in verdovende middelen aan banden probeerde te leggen. De aanleiding voor de totstandkoming van het verdrag waren de resoluties van de op 1 februari 1909 te Shanghai tot stand gekomen International Opiumcommissie. De Verenigde Staten van Amerika wensten naar aanleiding van deze resoluties een internationaal verdrag te sluiten. Hiervoor werd op 1 december 1911 in Den Haag een internationale conferentie gehouden, die leidde tot de totstandkoming van het eerste Internationaal Opiumverdrag.

De inwerkingtreding van het verdrag ging gepaard met de nodige problemen, doordat het verdrag zelf bepaalde dat de ratificatie van alle deelnemers aan de opiumconferentie vereist was, maar niet alle mogendheden waren bereid tot ratificatie. Daarop werd in overeenstemming met het verdrag een tweede internationale conferentie bijeen geroepen. Het sluitingsprotocol van de tweede conferentie riep alle mogendheden op om toch nog te ratificeren, maar indien dit niet het geval was zou er een derde conferentie georganiseerd worden. Een derde internationale conferentie bleek nodig te zijn en deze kwam op 15 juni 1914 bijeen. In het protocol werd bepaald dat de staten die wel geratificeerd hadden, bij uitblijvende ratificatie van andere deelnemers, op 31 december 1914 konden kiezen om het verdrag in werking te laten treden. In het protocol van 31 december 1914 werd vervolgens bepaald dat het verdrag voor enkele partijen op 11 februari 1915 in werking zou treden.

In het verdrag verplichtten de partijen zich om via wetten en maatregelen extra toezicht te houden op de voortbrenging en verspreiding van ruw opium, bereid opium en medicinaal opium, morfine en cocaïne. De verplichtingen bestonden er mede uit dat het vervoer naar landen die de invoer verboden hadden, moest worden belet. Daarnaast moest er verscherpt toezicht komen op het vervoer naar landen die de invoer beperkten.

Op 19 februari 1925 werd het tweede Internationaal Opiumverdrag in Genève getekend. Dit verdrag verving, tussen de mogendheden die partij bij beide verdragen waren, grote delen van het eerste verdrag en vulde deze verder aan. Beide verdragen werden uiteindelijk vervangen door het Enkelvoudig Verdrag inzake verdovende middelen van 1964.

In Nederland
Bij de Memorie van Toelichting bij de goedkeuringswet van het verdrag, meldde de regering dat het bestaande wettelijke kader in Nederland niet toereikend was om aan de verplichtingen van het verdrag te voldoen. Volgens de regering kon er niet gewacht worden op een algemene herziening van de Wet op de uitoefening der artsenijbereidkunst, maar was een speciale wet absoluut noodzakelijk. Deze wet zou uiteindelijk in 1919 ingevoerd worden als de Opiumwet.

We continue learning and growing and deepening our relationships with God and one another.
We seek to promote wholeness and well-being, for example, learning to forgive as we have been forgiven by God through Jesus.
We value being part of the community and serving Christ by serving our neighbors and being good stewards of the environment.
We are blessed by our differences. We're not rich or poor, educated or not–we're all those things… and more.
We believe that God would have us welcome all people–as God has welcomed us.


1954 Hamburg, Germany tram No. 3557 (right) and two ex-Muni PCC streetcars are among the historic vehicles awaiting restoration at Muni's "boneyard," as the streetcar storage facility is informally known. Todd Lappin photo.
Recently, a group of Market Street Railway board members joined a tour of Muni's storage facility for streetcars awaiting restoration. This facility, near Islais Creek, exists in part because of our active advocacy, begun three decades ago, to preserve retired streetcars to meet possible future service needs. Already, several have been plucked from this purgatory and restored to service. We are working to see that more follow, as demand grows for additional service on the F-line and future E-line.
The photo above comes from Market Street Railway board member Todd Lappin, who tells all about the trip here, with many more photos. You can find more information on the tram on the right, from Hamburg, Germany, here.
As Todd points out, not all the streetcars in the "boneyard" will ultimately be restored. Some, with badly rusted or accident-damaged bodies, have already given up many parts needed to keep the current fleet running. We're currently working with Muni to help determine the most viable candidates for restoration, to set priorities as the need comes up. You can see which streetcars are in storage and get a general idea of their condition by reviewing our complete streetcar roster.
As year-end approaches, it's a good time to note that we depend entirely on memberships and donations to do what we do, along with thousands of hours of volunteer time and proceeds from gift sales at our San Francisco Railway Museum. Since you're reading this post, you probably have some interest in our efforts, so please consider helping us. Thanks very much.


When original D&D was first published in a (now very rare) wood grained box (later prints were in a white box) with three little booklets (Men & Magic, Monsters & Treasure, and Underworld & Wilderness Adventures) and some reference sheets inside, it ushered in a new form of gaming: Roleplaying. These Original D&D rules were simple and not very well written. In fact, they were so poorly written that the best way to learn the game was to have someone who already new how teach you how to play. Fortunately, the game was easy to learn. Most new players could create a character with a bit of help and be ready to play in 15 or 20 minutes. Once you started playing, however, you were hooked. The game sold rapidly, went through a number of printings, and spawned supplemental rule books. TSR had a hit on their hands — and a new hobby was born.
Because the rules were so loose, almost every campaign was played under a somewhat different interpretation of the rules. The Dungeon Master (the gamemaster) was encouraged to create whatever additional rules might be needed for his or her campaign as they were needed. This was easy to do and everyone did it. TSR published several supplemental rules books that were basically the extra rules used by specific games. Greyhawk (Gary Gygax's campaign), Blackmoor (David Arneson's campaign), Eldritch Wizardry (various Lake Geneva area campaigns). TSR also published Gods, Demigods, and Heroes which had deities from real world and fictional mythologys. The final Original D&D rules item TSR published was the Holmes Basic Set — a introduction to D&D designed for new players that covered levels one to three only but explained how to play in some detail.
The Chainmail medieval mass combat miniatures rules were used for the original combat system in D&D. If you want to use the very simple original combat system, you'll also need a copy of the old Chainmail rules. Most campaigned used a version of the alternate combat rules, however. To further confuse things, TSR later published Swords & Spells, a set of D&D based fantasy miniatures rules. The Sword & Spells rules are not needed to play Original D&D.
