This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience.November 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)(
The first appearance of an Infinity Gem occurred in 1972 in Marvel Premiere #1. It was originally called a "Soul Gem".[1][2] In 1976, a second "Soul Gem" appeared in a Captain Marvel story which established that there were six Soul Gems, each with different powers.[3] One year later, two more "Soul Gems" were introduced in a Warlock crossover involving Spider-Man.[2] The full set of six Gems appeared when the death-obsessed villain Thanos attempted to use them to extinguish every star in the universe.[2][4] In a 1988 storyline in Silver Surfer vol. 3, the Elders of the Universe tried to use the "Soul Gems" to steal the energy of the world-eating entity Galactus.[2]
In the 1990 limited series The Thanos Quest, Thanos refers to the entire set as "Infinity Gems" for the first time. In this storyline, he steals the Gems for the second time and reveals the Gems to be the last remains of an omnipotent being.[5] Thanos then places all six gems within his left gauntlet.[6][full citation needed] In the miniseries The Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos uses the Gems to become nearly omnipotent and kills half the universe's population as a gift to his love, the cosmic embodiment of Death. Although he easily repels an attack by Earth's heroes and other cosmic entities including Eternity, the Gauntlet is eventually stolen from him by Nebula, who undoes the last 24 hours, including his mass killings. Adam Warlock then recovers the Gauntlet and, by order of the Living Tribunal, divides the Gems among a group he calls "the Infinity Watch", consisting of himself, the superheroes Gamora, Pip the Troll, Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, and his former adversary Thanos. The group's adventures in defending the Gems appear in the series Warlock and the Infinity Watch (1992–1995).[7]
The Gems are next gathered by Warlock's evil alter ego, the Magus, in the 1992 limited series The Infinity War, where he is defeated by Warlock and Earth's heroes, including Thanos.[8] In the 1993 limited series The Infinity Crusade, the embodiment of Warlock's goodness, the Goddess, attempts to destroy evil in the universe by destroying free will. The Gems are then once again retrieved by the Infinity Watch.[9]
In a story arc of the Thanos series (2003–2004), Galactus gathers the six Gems but accidentally allows an interdimensional entity named Hunger access to the Marvel universe. Thanos and Galactus banish the entity and the Gems are scattered again with the exception of the Soul Gem, which Thanos retains for its customary custodian Adam Warlock.[10] In New Avengers: Illuminati, a 2007–2008 limited series, a cabal of Earth's heroes gather the Gems and attempt to wish them out of existence but discover that they must exist as part of the cosmic balance. Instead, the Illuminati divide and hide the Gems.[11]
In a 2010 Avengers storyline, the human criminal known as the Hood steals several Gems but is defeated by use of the remaining Gems; the Illuminati attempt to hide them again.[12][13][14][full citation needed] The Illuminati later wield the Gems to stop another universe from collapsing into their own but the Gems are shattered by the effort.[15][full citation needed] Afterwards, the previously vanished Time Gem appears to Captain America and some of the Avengers and transports them into future realities, shattering time in the process.[16][full citation needed]
As a result of the Incursions, the entire Multiverse is destroyed. However, Doctor Doom combines fragments of several alternate realities into Battleworld. Doctor Strange gathers Infinity Gems from various realities into a new Infinity Gauntlet, which he leaves hidden until the surviving heroes of Earth-616 return.[citation needed] The Gauntlet is subsequently claimed by T'Challa (the Black Panther), who uses it to keep the Beyonder-enhanced Doom occupied until Mister Fantastic can disrupt his power source.[citation needed]
Following the recreation of the Multiverse, the Infinity Gems (now known as the Infinity Stones) are recreated and scattered across the universe, with their colors switched and some taking on uncut ingot forms. In Marvel Legacy #1, the Space Stone (now colored blue) appears on Earth where a Frost Giant working for Loki steals it from a S.H.I.E.L.D. storage facility, however he is intercepted and defeated by a resurrected Wolverine.[17] Star-Lord discovers an extra-large Power Stone (now colored purple) being protected by the Nova Corps,[18][full citation needed] and an alternate universe Peter Quill named Starkill has the Reality Stone (now colored red).[19][full citation needed] A future version of Ghost Rider is revealed to possess a shard of the Time Stone (now colored green),[20][full citation needed] while in the present the complete stone restores the ruined planet of Sakaar and is claimed by the Super-Skrull.[citation needed] The Mind Stone (now colored yellow) is found on Earth in the hands of petty crook Turk Barrett,[21] and the Soul Stone (now colored orange) is mentioned to Adam Warlock to be in the hands of his dark aspect, the Magus;[22][full citation needed] however, Ultron is able to claim it after ambushing and killing him.[21][full citation needed] The Stones are shown to have a pocket universe existing within each of them.[23] Adam Warlock uses the Soul Stone to grant sentience to each of the Stones, which then travel the universe, finding a suitable host and bonding with them.[24]

Each Gem is shaped like a small oval[25] and is named after, and represents, a different characteristic of existence.[citation needed] Possessing any single Gem grants the user the ability to command whatever aspect of existence the Gem represents.[citation needed] The Gems are not immutable.[26] For instance, on two occasions, one or more of the Gems have appeared as deep pink spheres several feet in diameter,[3][27] while on other occasions, the Gems have appeared in their small oval shape but with different coloring. (e.g. the Soul Gem being colored red when worn by the Gardener).[28] In the Ultraverse, after merging into their original form of Nemesis, the Gems were again separated after a battle with Ultraforce and the Avengers.[29] As part of the Marvel Legacy initiative, the Infinity Gems (now known as the Infinity Stones), had their colors altered to match the colors of the Infinity Stones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[30] The six Infinity Gems include:

Other versionsEdit
Council of ReedsEdit
The Reed Richards of Earth-616, in an attempt to "solve everything", meets with a council of alternate universe Reeds. Three of them wear Infinity Gauntlets, which only work in their respective universes.[31][full citation needed]
New AvengersEdit
During the "Incursion" storyline, the Avengers travel to a parallel Earth where a pastiche of the Justice League have replaced this Earth's Avengers who all died in a previous cataclysm. Here the Gems are all square planes which are assembled into the "Wishing Cube", a composite of the concepts of the Infinity Gems and the Cosmic Cube.[32]
Secret WarsEdit
After various alternate universes are combined into Battleworld, Doctor Strange gathers Infinity Gems from other universes into a new Infinity Gauntlet that works in the area where Doom has built his palace. Strange leaves the Gauntlet hidden until he has access to someone he can trust it with. After his death, the Gauntlet is claimed by T'Challa,[33][full citation needed] who uses it against Doom in the final battle.[34][full citation needed][35][full citation needed]
A separate section of Battleworld known as New Xandar also has a Gauntlet fought over by multiple factions until the majority of the Stones, except the Reality Stone, were taken by Thanos.[36] Thanos eventually tracks the missing Stone to Nova Corps member Anwen Bakian. When Thanos confronts her to get the Stone, Anwen gives him a duplicate of the Reality Stone she created called the 'Death Stone'. When used along with the other five Stones, the Death Stone corrupts Thanos with black matter and turns him to dust.[37]
Ultimate MarvelEdit
In the Ultimate Marvel universe, an Infinity Gauntlet is seen in Project Pegasus.[38] The Mind Gem (stolen by Hydra) is used by Modi (Thor's son) to control both Director Flumm and Cassie Lang, but are stopped by the Ultimates.[39][full citation needed] The Power Gem is later revealed to be in the possession of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sayuri Kyota, while a second Infinity Gauntlet is recovered from an A.I.M. base by Thor and Susan Storm.[40][full citation needed] Kang the Conqueror later allies himself with the Hulk, Reed Richards and Quicksilver as part of a plan to steal the two Gauntlets, which results in the destruction of the Triskelion. Quicksilver recovers two additional Gems allowing the villains to teleport away.[41][full citation needed] Richards is later able to recover another of the Gems, which is found lodged in Tony Stark's brain. He informs Stark that the Infinity Gems are needed to save the world from a coming cataclysm that will destroy the entire universe.[42][full citation needed] After brainwashing Johnny Storm and forcing him to travel to the Earth's core, the Dark Ultimates are able to recover the final gem,[43][full citation needed] but are defeated by the Ultimates. The gems then shatter, rendering the Gauntlets useless.[44][full citation needed]
What If?Edit
In a reality where Doctor Doom retained the power of the Beyonder, Doom acquired the Infinity Gems from the Elders of the Universe and used them to defeat the Celestials in a 407-year-long war before finally forsaking his power.[45][full citation needed]
In an alternate reality where the original Fantastic Four died, a new Fantastic Four – consisting of Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider – was formed. With Iron Man replacing Ghost Rider, they were the only heroes available to fight Thanos when he initially assembled the Infinity Gauntlet. Despite Iron Man's use of Negative Zone-enhanced Celestial armor, Thanos still easily defeated the team until Wolverine tricked Thanos into erasing Mephisto from existence before cutting off Thanos's left arm, and therefore the Infinity Gauntlet. With Thanos powerless, Spider-Man used the gauntlet to undo the events of Thanos's godhood.[46][full citation needed]
Contest of ChampionsEdit
In the Contest of Champions miniseries, an alternate version of Tony Stark uses the Reality Gem to win the superhero civil war and affect the outcome of a presidential election. When he tries to use the Gem on Battleworld, he is killed by the Maestro, who says the Gems do not work in any universe other than their own.[47][full citation needed]
In other mediaEdit
- The Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems appear in The Super Hero Squad Show television show.[48]
- The Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems appear in Avengers Assemble; there are only five Infinity Gems as the Soul Stone is not present.
The Infinity Stones are significant in the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), playing important roles in several films. In Guardians of the Galaxy, the Collector explains that the Infinity Stones are the remnants of six singularities that existed before the Big Bang, which were compressed into Stones by cosmic entities after the universe began and were dispersed throughout the cosmos. In Avengers: Infinity War, it is further explained by Wong and Doctor Strange that each stone embodies and controls an essential aspect of existence. Throughout the series, the Mad Titan Thanos seeks to collect them all and use them to wipe out half of all life in the universe, believing that it will save the universe from extinction. Having completed this goal in Infinity War, Thanos then uses the Stones' power to destroy them so that his actions cannot be undone, but the Avengers are eventually able to use the quantum realm to devise a means of time travel that allows them to go back in time and retrieve past versions of the Stones from a point before Thanos destroyed them, allowing them to restore all those killed by Thanos and then eliminate the forces of a past version of Thanos that had followed them from 2014 into the present and attempted to use the Past Infinity Stones to destroy and recreate the universe.
In order of introduction, they are:
- Space Stone (Blue):
Housed in a cube-like weapon called the Tesseract; it first appears briefly in the post-credits scene of Thor with Nick Fury showing the object to Erik Selvig, not knowing that Loki was there as well. In Captain America: The First Avenger, the Red Skull steals the Tesseract from a church to use to power Hydra's weaponry. During Captain America's fight with the Red Skull, the Tesseract transports the Red Skull somewhere else (later revealed to be the planet Vormir in Avengers: Infinity War) before falling into the Arctic Ocean where it is later recovered by Howard Stark and taken to a secret base. Captain Marvel revealed that Dr. Wendy Lawson tries to use the Tesseract in 1989 to unlock light-speed travel in order to help the Skrulls find a new home, but is unsuccessful. The Tesseract is eventually recovered by Carol Danvers, who hands the object over to S.H.I.E.L.D. In The Avengers, the Tesseract is shown to be capable of generating wormholes; Loki steals the Tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D. to use to transport the Chitauri army to New York City in an attempt to conquer Earth. After the Avengers repel the invasion, it is returned to Asgard for safekeeping in Odin's Vault and used to repair the Bifrost Bridge which had been destroyed during the events of Thor.[49] Loki later steals the Tesseract before Asgard's destruction during Thor: Ragnarok,[50] and gives the object to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War to save Thor's life. Thanos then crushes the Tesseract to acquire the Space Stone inside; its abilities allow him to open wormholes at will. In Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Scott Lang and Bruce Banner all time travel to the Battle of New York during the events of The Avengers in 2012, where Stark and Lang attempt to steal the 2012 version of the Tesseract before it can be returned to Asgard in the aftermath of the battle, but 2012 Hulk accidentally knocks Stark down and the 2012 Tesseract slides over to 2012 Loki, who uses it to open a portal and escape. Stark and Rogers then travel to 1970 and steal the 1970 version of the Tesseract from a S.H.I.E.L.D. base in New Jersey.
- Mind Stone (Yellow):
Housed in a scepter; it is first seen in The Avengers when Loki is given the scepter by Thanos and the Other to help locate the Tesseract and conquer Earth; the scepter allows for its user to control people's minds and project energy blasts.[51] After Loki's defeat, the scepter fell into the hands of Hydra leader Baron Wolfgang von Strucker who is shown in the mid-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier to have been using the object to experiment on humans. Avengers: Age of Ultron revealed that the only surviving subjects of Strucker's experiments are the siblings Pietro Maximoff and Wanda Maximoff, in whom superhuman abilities were unlocked before Strucker's base was attacked by the Avengers, who took back the scepter. The scepter is later revealed to contain the Mind Stone, and it is also revealed that the Mind Stone has an artificial intelligence that grants sentience to the computer program Ultron, who steals the scepter and removes the Mind Stone to create a newly upgraded body. The Avengers steal the Mind Stone-infused body from Ultron and upload the A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. into the body, giving birth to the android Vision.[49][52] The Mind Stone can also enhance the user's intelligence,[51] grants the user immense knowledge, and can create new life.[53] In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision is injured by the Black Order trying to get the Mind Stone and is taken to Wakanda to have the Mind Stone removed from his forehead, in the hope of living without the Mind Stone. When the operation to remove the Mind Stone is interrupted, Wanda is forced to destroy Vision and the Mind Stone, only for Thanos to use the Time Stone to repair them both and collect the Mind Stone, killing Vision again. In Avengers: Endgame, Rogers, having traveled back in time to the events of The Avengers in 2012, retrieves the 2012 version of the Mind Stone (in its scepter) from Hydra operatives from within S.H.I.E.L.D. in the aftermath of the Battle of New York. Rogers then uses the scepter to render the 2012 version of himself (who mistakes him for 2012 Loki in disguise) unconscious.
- Reality Stone (Red):
Transformed into the fluid-like weapon called the Aether; it first appears in Thor: The Dark World when Malekith the Accursed attempts to use the Aether to destroy the Nine Realms and return the universe to its pre-Big Bang state. Jane Foster becomes infected by the Aether after coming across its resting place, and the Aether is later drawn out of Foster by Malekith. After Malekith is defeated by Thor, Sif and Volstagg seal the Aether in a lantern-like container which they entrust to the Collector in order to separate from the Tesseract, as they consider it unwise to have multiple Stones close to each other (unaware that the Collector is also planning to obtain the other five Infinity Stones).[49][54][55] The Aether, once bonded to a host, can turn anything into dark matter, and suck the life force out of humans and other mortals. The Aether can also disrupt the laws of physics, and repel threats if sensing any. [53] In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos acquires the Aether from the Collector and turns it back into its solid form as the Reality Stone. The Reality Stone's abilities allowed Thanos to repel the Guardians of the Galaxy's attacks by turning Drax the Destroyer to stone, Mantis into ribbon strips, and causing Star-Lord's gun to shoot bubbles. In Avengers: Endgame, Thor and Rocket Raccoon time travel to Asgard during the events of Thor: The Dark World in 2013 and extract the 2013 version of the Aether from 2013 Jane.
- Power Stone (Purple):
Housed in an orb hidden on the planet Morag; it can increase the user's strength and destroy entire civilizations with a single blast. However, the stone is too much for most mortal beings to physically handle and are eventually destroyed by its power.[56][57] In Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan the Accuser seeks the orb for Thanos but Star-Lord finds and steals the orb from Morag's resting spot before Ronan's men could. An all-out war occurs between Ronan's forces and the Guardians of the Galaxy for the orb, with Ronan successfully acquiring the orb in the end. After learning about the Power Stone, Ronan betrays Thanos and tries to use the Power Stone to destroy the planet Xandar but is stopped and defeated by the Ravagers, Nova Corps, and the Guardians of the Galaxy who then seal the Power Stone in a new orb, which is then entrusted to the Nova Corps for safekeeping.[49] Avengers: Infinity War revealed that the Power Stone was the first to be obtained by Thanos who "decimates" Xandar in the process. In Avengers: Endgame, James Rhodes and Nebula time travel to Morag during the events of Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, subduing 2014 Star-Lord and taking the 2014 Power Stone in its orb.
- Time Stone (Green):
Housed in the Eye of Agamotto by Earth's first sorcerer, a Master of the Mystic Arts can use the Time Stone to alter and manipulate time. In Doctor Strange, Dr. Stephen Strange finds the Eye of Agamotto and learns how to use the Eye of Agamotto to save the Earth from Dormammu by trapping them in a time loop until the demon abandons plans for Earth. Strange returns the Eye of Agamotto to the Masters of the Mystic Arts' secret compound Kamar-Taj in Kathmandu, Nepal but is later seen wearing the Eye of Agamotto again in the mid-credits scene.[58][59] During the events of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos's lieutenants attempt to steal the Eye of Agamotto from Strange but are foiled by Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wong. While on the planet Titan (Thanos's homeworld), Strange uses the Time Stone to look into future timelines, viewing millions of possible outcomes of their conflict with Thanos and sees only one future in which they win. Strange later surrenders the Time Stone to Thanos to save Stark. During the confrontation in Wakanda, Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo the Mind Stone's destruction. In Avengers: Endgame, Smart Hulk, having traveled back in time to 2012, goes to the New York Sanctum during the Battle of New York during the events of The Avengers and convinces the Ancient One to relinquish the 2012 version of the Time Stone.
- Soul Stone (Orange):
An object that has the ability to manipulate a soul and the essence of a person,[60] as well as control life and death, and contains a pocket dimension called the Soulworld.[61][62] The Soul Stone is first seen in Avengers: Infinity War. At some point, Thanos tasked Gamora to find the Soul Stone as there is little record of its existence compared to the other Infinity Stones. Gamora found the Soul Stone hidden in a shrine on the planet Vormir, but decided not to tell Thanos and kept the secret with Nebula (little realizing that Thanos wasn't fooled). After Thanos captures and tortures Nebula, Gamora agrees to take Thanos to Vormir, where they encounter the Red Skull (having been transported to Vormir by the Tesseract) who serves as the Stonekeeper. Thanos willingly sacrifices Gamora in order to fulfill the requirements to obtain the Stone.[63][64] After using all six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe, Thanos is briefly transported into the Soulworld and encounters Gamora as a child.[65] In Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton travel to Vormir in the past, where each attempts to sacrifice themselves to allow the other to return with the Stone. Ultimately, Romanoff wins the struggle and jumps to her death so that Barton can return to be with his family.
The Infinity Gauntlet appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A right-handed gauntlet appears in Thor, where it's stored in Odin's vault;[49] this one was later revealed to be a fake by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok.[66] The mid-credits scene of Avengers: Age of Ultron revealed Thanos has acquired a left-handed gauntlet (which is the real Infinity Gauntlet).[67] Avengers: Infinity War reveals the Infinity Gauntlet was created by Eitri under duress by Thanos, before the Mad Titan killed Eitri's people and crippled Eitri's hands to prevent anything else from being created. In Avengers: Endgame, after Thanos wipes out half of all life in the universe – in the event that is now known as "The Blip" – and destroys the Infinity Stones to prevent his work from being undone, the Avengers use nanotechnology to create a third, right-handed gauntlet in order to use the Infinity Stones they earlier acquired from the past. Smart Hulk, due to being the most immune to the gamma radiation the Infinity Stones' combined powers emit, uses the gauntlet to reverse the Blip (though not without strain also caused by the combined powers). Immediately afterwards, the Avengers are besieged by Thanos's army from 2014, with Past Thanos now intending to use the Past Infinity Stones to destroy the universe and build anew, while erasing all memory of the original. In the ensuing battle, Tony Stark sacrifices himself by using the Past Infinity Stones–having incorporated them into his armor–to disintegrate Past Thanos and his forces from existence, removing them from the timeline altogether. After Stark's funeral, Steve Rogers returns the Past Infinity Stones and Past Mjolnir (which Thor had acquired from 2013) to the times and places they'd come from to prevent alternate timelines from forming.

A night of engrams and clears - 2002-04-03
Next came highlights from the previous year: When race riots in Cincinnati last year left 87 people dead, said the simulcast's emcee, Scientology volunteer ministers (VMs) were among the first on the scene to quell the violence (never mind that not a single person actually died in the riots). While race-fueled shootings continued across the city, in Cincinnati's "ghetto," where VMs distributed Scientology's "The Way to Happiness" pamphlets, not a single act of violence was committed. And on a local radio show not much later, "a leading government official" presented "her vision of how to bring tolerance to her city." That vision, of course, was "The Way to Happiness."
At no other time in Scientology history, gushed the emcee — an early Don Knotts type — has L. Ron Hubbard's message been so potent. "Just since September, that LRH way to a world of decency has been placed in the hands of 1.7 million people planetwide."

A close friend told me years ago that I was the only person he knew from college who was actually doing something with your college degree. This was 1992 and I was a newly-minted graduate of American University's School of International Service. I even had a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Service to prove it—more importantly, an actual paying job in my field, working at a prestigious think tank. I barely paid the rent, had a crummy social life, but was having an incredible ride.
I started as a "policy analyst" (really a research assistant) focusing on the former Yugoslavia as it was tearing itself and its people to pieces. It was my crusade, my chance to shake off the complacency of a middle-class American life. I was angry as hell over what was happening, and mesmerized by the madness that mocked all we were taught about human dignity, tolerance and reason.
I leapt. Head first.
Over the next three years, I was obsessed my obsessive thirst for learning, disciplined commitment made me a minor expert by Washington standards—I was published in international journals, and interviewed for the BBC, VOA. Of course my affiliation with a leading think-tank didn't hurt, but since I was interviewed over the phone, my age wasn't an issue.
My first (and only) television interview, for Australian TV, was a disaster.
I was already off to a bad start once the journalist saw how young I was (I was a mere twenty-four). I wasn't even wearing a sport coat. But deadlines were deadlines, and he had a job to do. Along the way to becoming a wonk I was also becoming a media hound.
On camera, I made a point—I was getting good at sound bites—about Western inability to intervene in Bosnia when the journalist asked, "Caution being the better part of valor, right?"
Never having heard that phrase before, I responded with feigned confidence, perhaps an equivocal hand gesture to go with it. "Absolutely," I said. I'm sure they never used the tape. Even if they did, I had no plans to set foot Down Under anytime soon. They never even paid me the customary fee, nominal as it was, and the non-US media outlets almost always threw some money your way.
But I was on top of my little professional world. My drive to work harder pushed me into hours when it wasn't a good idea to walk home alone.
The highwater mark came in 1994 when I managed to attend a conference in Bosnia, during the war. I rode a bus from Zagreb to Tuzla, careening down the Dalmatian coast, barreling over Bosnia's hills. Thirty hours of my life were spent on that bus. Each way. I unknowingly brought back a little present in the form of an intestinal infection. The return trip could have been thirty years. After that, nothing scares me. Except buses, unshaven men, and crappy Balkan tobacco.
Of the conference I remember very little—it was a hodge-podge of anarchic rants and starry-eyed proclamations. I spent my time trying to bribe Bosnian soldier to take me to the front some fifteen miles away (all part of the Crusade, you see).
But eventually I lost the peace, or rather, the peace lost me. In 1996 Dayton was born and Bosnia just wasn't cool anymore. Now it was the time for the election observers, bureaucrats, consultants, the engineers, and social workers to come and put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
A few months after Dayton I returned to Bosnia, this time Sarajevo, as a reluctant follower of the Reconstruction. My irrational hunger for war and depravity, now denied me thanks to The Peacemakers (fuck them, no thanks), was abruptly brought up short. I met one of the only male survivors of Srebrenica, a bright man my age who by all accounts should have met his end at the bottom of a mass grave among the surrounding hills. But because he was a UN interpreter, he had the protection of the Dutch battalion deployed there. His family, whom he last saw through the fence of the UN compound days before the town's collapse, had no such guarantee.
Policy analyze this.
Flip over to side b here.

This is an interesting one. Now, I'm not a big fan of animal prints, save for my tiny soft spot for zebra, nor do I consider myself a fan of furry bags, which inevitably bring up images of those gift bags with pink fur; yikes. But when I saw this Christian Louboutin Leopard-Print Clutch in person yesterday, it was pretty captivating. Maybe it's the longer-than-usual length of the clutch, or the big bow, or the leopard print (I thought it was leopard fur at first), but it catches your eye.
As you know, I'm not so sure how I like bows on bags; I don't like bags to look like gifts. But here, I'm not fixated on the bow because it completes the clutch. Think about it: how naked would this clutch look without the bow, with just the print? Though I can't see myself wearing it, I can see that it would look amazing with a slinky dress and sky-high heels, and it just seems like something that some celeb will inevitably pick up for a red-carpet walk. If anything, the material itself -leopard print on pony hair- seems pretty ingenious to me. Buy through Saks for $940.

Leash Training Puppies
Kulbhushaan Raghuvanshi
Jul 7, 2019
Are you finding a hard time training your new puppy, and getting it to like its leash? Then you have come to the right place; read on...
Once you have purchased or adopted a puppy, the first thing you need to do is train it. Get your puppy familiar with the environs of your family and home. Training puppies is a demanding task, but the results are worth it. One of the most important things to train is the presence of a leash.
Leash Training Puppies
Puppies love to wander and play, and most often hate having any restrictive object attached to them. To limit the negative behavior and to get a pup used to the leash, apply these simple tips:
● First buy a training collar that suits your pup. Try to get the pup used to it. You can expect the pup to try to scratch it off. Put the collar back on when the pup is eating, or playing with you. Remove the collar once a day when your puppy is not trying to free itself from it.
Do not remove the collar when the pup is trying to remove it. Wearing a collar for the first time will feel odd to the pup, just like we feel weird for a few days when we wear a new watch or a new pair of glasses. Buy a collar that fits your puppy, but it should not be stiff. A lightweight collar is a good choice.
● Attach the leash to the collar. Some puppies might be excited to see a colored rope tied to their neck. Let your pup get comfortable with the leash. Allow it to roam in the house with the leash attached, but under supervision. Pups will try to chew the new leash; this is the time where you distract and play with the pup.
You can apply bitter apple on the leash to refrain the dog from chewing it; but remember that this wouldn't last long, and you would have to apply it every hour. Applying bitter apple is one of the easy ways to stop your pup from biting the leash off.
Dog lovers believe that chewed leashes are very useful as chew toys for growing pups. Don't leave a leashed puppy unattended, as it can get tangled in various risky things.
● When you see that the puppy is comfortable with the collar and the leash, it is time to begin the leash training. Make the training sessions short and lively. Pups love to follow their owners; use this as an advantage.
Start with a short walk around your house or yard, with the puppy walking beside you. If your pup strains on the leash stop immediately. Never walk with the pup when it is pulling on the leash.
● The pup will gradually learn that pulling on the leash takes it nowhere. If the pup wants to continue to walk, the best option is to walk with you on a loose leash.
Some Useful Tips
● Remove the leash when your pup goes into the kennel or crate. This will associate the leash with going outside, and will make the puppy want it.
● Consult your vet about your dog's breed and which collar to use.
● Never leave your pup unsupervised with a leash. The leash could latch on to something, and strangle your pup.
● However, leave the collar on unsupervised pups. If pup is lost, the identification tag on the collar can help save its life.
Try to follow these steps with some patience and persistence, and soon your puppy will be raring to get onto the leash.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — PAS' Dewan Muslimat has condemned the concept of marital rape as non-existent in Islamic Shariah law, and instead urged caution over the 'liberal needle'.
The women's wing said certain quarters continue to harp on about the issue, by using the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government as a platform to voice out.
"This is but a design used to attack the Islamic Ummah, and Muslim women are now being targeted by such stirring of emotions and feminist sentiments. The fighters of liberalism deign to consider any element of force even between a husband and wife to be connected to wickedness," it said in a statement.
The Dewan Muslimat said that in over half a century of Barisan Nasional rule, it had failed to implement the agenda of individual human development, to the extent that the family unit, which is meant to be the calmest refuge for a person, has been unable to enjoy the prosperity of life.
"As the leaders were more focused on the aspect of material development, unequal distribution brought about its share of burdens and distracted the rakyat from their true purpose as God's slaves on Earth.
"This has even affected the relations of husbands and wives, which ought to have been built with mahabbah, mawaddah and rahmah (affection, love and mercy). Unfortunately, this most pressing aspect has been left without an agenda to turn society's smallest nucleus into the nation's pillar of strength," it said.
Dewan Muslimat said, in turn, marital and household problems played their part in contributing to various negative social ills, and the ensuing chaos not only led to grief or criminality but also stunted Malaysia's future.
"Frequently wives and children become victims, their welfare neglected. This decline has attracted attempts by liberals to break sacred covenants and toss aside the voice of 'struggle' by fighting for that which is wrong and unnatural," it said.

St James Church-Liverpool's Heritage at Risk No 4
This is the Church that had a giant neon Rabitt bolted to it without planning permission despite being in peril.
It is not a beautiful or monumental structure described by Picton as 'a plain brick building'. But this is none the less an historical architectural and engineering monument, of the greatest importance.
It is now owned by the Churches Conservation trust who, along with English Heretics http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2009/04/english-heretics.html and the local Church elders are making, fools of themselves with plans to dig up 7000 bodies and build a block of flats on the graveyard……Poltergeist.
It is Norman in character with its small semicircular headed windows. Its architect was Cuthbert Brisbane who was working on land presented by Lord Sefton for a sum of £3000 raised by 27 shareholders prior to its construction. It was built in 1774-5.
Wrought iron and cast iron were to revolutionise church design and architecture in general in the 19th century. Here we see the precursor to the Albert Dock with its vaulted and iron columned spans and it also led to the more ordinary. Such as, Coleman's Fireproof Repository, just up Park Lane. Cast Iron columns, the type we see in this Church are quatrefoil clustered, would make it able to build vast open spaces at minimum cost. Making it a valuable style of construction for Ecclesiastical designs.
There was an earlier church with pre-cast columns the Church of St Anne, in St Anne's Street which was built in 1772. This has now been demolished.
This is on English Heretics National at Risk register and has been for a long time.
Bishop James Jones who supports the current scheme to smack a load of piles through the skulls and bones of the dead bodies in the graveyard, unmarked, as all the head stones have been removed should be ashamed of himself. This Church is more at risk from the people who should be looking after it than the elements. How sad. But how terrible would it be if it was vandalised or set on fire the same as was done St Andrews Church on Rodney Street. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2009/10/st-andrews-church-rodney-st-liverpools.html
£950,000,000 of European Objective One Money Liverpool has lapped up, by the fat cats, and you cant look after our heritage. Mr Bradley Fireman and Council leader, whose watch could make a visit with his appliance any day to put out a fire should take an interest. In Toxteth where his watch is, so much wasted opportunity still beckons decades after the Toxteth riots.
This once again is in the constituency of her shyness the "Dame of Dereliction" Louise Ellman, who is oblivious to neglect it seems to me.
Quentin Hughes was a Chairman of the then, now largely redundant Merseyside Civic Society and was instrumental in having the Churches Conservation Trust take it on.
Quentin in his book LIVERPOOL City of Architecture states "The Church was declared redundant and was supposed to be cared for against the ravages of vandals by The Churches Conservation Trust. How wonderful it would be if it could be converted into a museum of iron architecture in whose development Liverpool has played such a significant part. However it now looks as though the trust is abrogating its responsibility, disliking, the task of caring for city centre Churches". That was almost a decade ago.
Just who can you trust?

Boston, MA – Other than too many people and not enough time, it all went perfectly well at the John Hancock elite athlete press conference for the 123rd Boston Marathon this morning at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel.
It was like old home week. There was Rob de Castella the 1986 champion here with his indigenous running team from Australia. There was '83 champ Greg Meyer hanging out with fellow Grand Rapids Michigander Dathan Ritzenhein. And three time women's champion Uta Pippig with a wave and a hug still mourning the passing of her father. Everywhere you looked was an old friend.
But this was not a day to simply chat about yesterday. This was a press conference to see who might do what on Monday from Hopkinton to Boston. Continue reading

A man accused of driving the getaway car in a botched robbery that ended in the fatal shooting of a New York City police officer was cleared of all charges on Wednesday after testifying that he thought he was just giving the other men a ride.
The man, Michael Velez, 22, was found not guilty of burglary and murder in the death of Officer Peter Figoski, a father of four who was killed on Dec. 12, 2011, by a single shot to the head. Prosecutors said Mr. Velez and four others had plotted to rob a drug dealer, but were interrupted by officers called to the scene.
Mr. Velez testified he had not been aware of the plans. He remained in custody on an unrelated probation violation. His lawyer, Damien Brown, said justice had been served. "He asked me to let the family know he's very sorry for ever being with these gentlemen that night," he said.
The verdict was a blow for Officer Figoski's family, already disappointed earlier in the week when Lamont Pride, accused of being the gunman, was convicted of second-degree murder but acquitted of aggravated murder, which accused him of intentionally killing the officer. Mr. Pride faces 25 to life in prison when he is sentenced on Feb. 28.
Officer Figoski's family gasped as the verdict was read on Wednesday. His parents, ex-wife and four daughters were in the courtroom daily during the trial.
Law enforcement officials were outraged at the decision, which came a few hours after the jury began deliberations.
"When juries fail to comprehend the monstrous scale of a police officer's murder, they fail society itself," Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said in a statement. "It's shameful that the family of Peter Figoski must be crushed again by another incomprehensible verdict."
Patrick J. Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said the family was devastated. "There was zero courage in this verdict," he said. "I think this goes to the jury not wanting to make a difficult decision."
The case was a complicated tangle of conflicting statements from all the suspects. One, Ariel Tejada, testified against the others in exchange for a lesser sentence, and said that Mr. Velez had wanted a cut of the drugs.
Videotaped statements from Mr. Pride, 28, and Nelson Morales, accused of being the mastermind, differed. And Mr. Velez testified that he was headed out to buy water for his baby when he got a call from Mr. Morales asking him to drive him to his uncle's house.
"Nelson didn't tell me anything about a robbery," Mr. Velez said. "He had told me to take him to his uncle's house, and that's what I did."
While Mr. Velez waited in the car, the others went in to rob the drug dealer in the basement apartment, the authorities said. Mr. Morales's uncle, who did not know about the plot, called 911, according to the police. Mr. Pride shot Officer Figoski, who was responding as backup, with a 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol, the police said. He died at a hospital.
Prosecutors argued that Mr. Velez, who ran away when the shot was fired, was trying to escape. Mr. Velez said he was blocked in, and was scared. "I was sick to my stomach," he said.
Mr. Morales and another suspect, Kevin Santos, will be tried later.

Bicycle stainless steel ball bearing is a very common product in rolling bearings. They are mainly subjected to radial loads and can also bear both radial and axial loads. When it is only subjected to radial loads, the contact angle is zero. When the bicycle stainless steel ball bearing has a large radial clearance, it has the performance of an angular contact bearing and can withstand a large axial load.
Moreover, the bicycle stainless steel ball bearing has a small friction coefficient and a high limit speed. Its basic structure is mainly composed of an outer ring, an inner ring, a set of steel balls and a set of cages. The product types can be divided into single row and double row. The deep groove ball structure is also divided into two types: sealed and open. The open type means that the bearing does not have a sealing structure, and the sealed deep groove ball is divided into a dust-proof and oil-proof type。
Bicycle stainless steel ball bearings have simple structure and are easier to achieve higher manufacturing precision than other series of products, so it is easy to produce in series and mass production, and the manufacturing cost is low, and the use is extremely common.

With the Reserve Bank of India changing loan restructuring guidelines, profitability of Public Sector Banks (PSBs) is expected to be hit in the current quarter ending March 31. The RBI withdrew debt restructuring tools to align them with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. As a result, a large number of assets will be declared as non-performing assets or bad loans, due to which bottom lines of all public and private sector banks will take a hit at the end of the fiscal year.
The RBI not only scrapped loan restructuring schemes last month, but also ceased the functioning of Joint Lenders Forum (JLF), which is designed to bring down projected bad debts.

There are enough examples of this phenomenon, I think, to declare a metalaw about it:
Given that there are a couple of thousand somewhat-widely-spoken languages, and (say) 500 somewhat embarrassing words or short phrases in each one of them, there's a pretty good chance that any randomly-chosen brand name will turn out to be uncomfortably close in sound to something that means "snot" or "trashcan" or whatever in at least one of them.
One example given, from a reader:
I used to live in Moscow, where everyone has long been amused that Ikea chose to name a line of wine glasses "svalka". свалка can either mean a garbage dump or a dumpster.
Although "svalka" means "coolness" in Swedish.
The Buick LaCrosse sedan/sport/utility/whatever vehicle, replacement for the aged Regal, will be sold in Canada, but not with that name.
To us, "lacrosse" is a sport played on a field with sticks. To the Québécois, apparently, it's a solo act, practiced often in the bathroom, rumored to cause hair growth on one's palms and/or blindness.
So it was the "Allure" through 2010 or so, when Buick decided the hell with it, this is the LaCrosse, and we're going to sell it that way. And come to think of it, the Regal didn't stay dead, either.

The first salvaged alder was cut into manageable chunks and pulled up from the river last week. Today we had the chance to tackle this first tree.
The large chunks were cut and split into firewood sized pieces before being loaded into the Gator and hauled up to the outdoor furnace.
It took four Gator loads to clean up this first and smallest of the two trees that fell along the rock bar.
The next tree will take quite a bit longer to clean up because it is almost twice the size of this tree.

By Jeremy R. Hammond, World Policy Journal, May 25, 2010
This article was originally published at the Palestine Chronicle.
There is a general perception that the reason the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has continued for so long is because it is extremely complex. Nothing could be further from the truth. Placed in historical context, understanding the root cause of the conflict is simple, and in doing so, the solution becomes apparent.
During the late 1800s, a movement known as Zionism arose to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, then a territory under the Ottoman Empire. As a result of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was dissolved and Great Britain and France conspired to divide the territorial spoils of war between themselves. The British became the occupying power of Palestine. The League of Nations issued a mandate effectively recognizing Great Britain as such.

"To Activate Clarity: Eat Yellow – Yellow foods can stimulate the intellect as well as communication. Yellow is associated with mental discrimination, organisation, attention to detail, evaluation, active intelligence, happiness, concentration, and clarity of thought. Yellow is a colour that stimulates flexibility and adaptability to change. Yellow kitchens tend to be gathering places for family and friends to chat about their day. Plus, healing vitamin C is found in lemons and grapefruit. Summer squash, yellow peppers, sweet corn, pineapples, yellow watermelons, and other yellow fruits and vegetables fill you with glowing yellow energy; and they contain beta-carotene that promotes healthy eyes" the authors.
Hawaiian Rainbow Kebabs
20 bamboo skewers
Marinade: 3 tblsp brown sugar; 2/3 cup pineapple juice; 6 tblsp tamari; 8 cloves garlic, crushed; 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Kebabs: 450g beef, cut into 4cm cubes top sirloin works well); 225g button mushrooms; 450g sweet potatoes (1 large or 2 small), peeled and cut into 4cm cubes and par boiled; 450g very small gold potatoes, parboiled (if large, cut them into smaller chunks); 2 green bell peppers, cut into 4cm square; 1 red onion, cut into 3cm chunks; 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 4cm chunks; 1 275g pkg cherry tomatoes; vegetable or canola oil
If using bamboo skewers (available in most grocery stores), soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill.
To make the marinade, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, tamari, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl.
Cut the beef and wash the mushrooms. Add the beef and mushrooms to the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the other ingredients.
Bring 2 pots of water to a boil, one for the sweet potatoes and one for the gold potatoes. Meanwhile, peel and cut the sweet potato. When the water is boiling, add the gold potatoes to one and the sweet potatoes to the other. Parboil until just barely soft (about 5 minutes for the sweet potato and 10 minutes for the gold potato). This is a bit tricky. If they're overcooked, they'll fall off the skewer. But if they're undercooked, they won't cook at the same rate as the meat and vegetables on the grill.
Drain and rinse the potatoes with cool water. Pour them back into the pots they cooked in and toss each with 1 tblsp vegetable oil. This will keep them from sticking to the grill.
Wash the tomatoes, and cut the peppers, onions and pineapple. I find it helpful to put each ingredient in a bowl and line them up on the counter. That way the kebabs can be made assembly-line style.
Fire up the grill. When the grill is hot, carefully oil the grate with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil.
It can be fun to put the ingredients on the skewer in the order of the rainbow. Depending on how you assemble the kebabs, you may end up with leftovers of some ingredients. In this case, you can either save them for another use or make some haphazard kebabs with whatever vegetables are remaining.
Grill over medium heat, about 5-10 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the meat has reached desired doneness.
If you have leftover marinade, you can gently boil it in a small pan until any uncooked meat juices are well cooked and the sauce has reduced. This makes a tasty glaze to drizzle over the kebabs.
Gratitude Granola
Makes about 10 cups
5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats; pinch of salt; 2 tsp cinnamon; ½ tsp freshly ground nutmeg; 2 to 3 cups raw seeds and raw chopped nuts (pre-roasted nuts and seeds will burn); suggestions: walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seeds are all delicious options; ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional); 2/3 cup honey or maple syrup; ½ cup coconut oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil; 2 cups dried fruit (must be added after cooking because it will burn otherwise); suggestions: raisins, golden raisins, cranberries, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, chopped apricots, chopped peaches, crystallised ginger, chopped mango, chopped papaya, or chopped pineapple
Preheat oven to 180°C
In a large bowl combine the oats, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, nuts, and shredded coconut. In a smaller bowl combine the oil and honey. Mix the liquid ingredients with the dry and stir to combine. If you're using coconut oil in its solid state, you may need to use your clean hands to mix it all together. The oats should be uniformly damp and taste delicious when samples. If they're too dry, add more oil and/or honey. If not delicious enough, adjust ingredients until it passes your inspection. This is part of what making granola so much fun!
Spread the raw granola evenly between two large baking sheets and put them into the oven on the lower-middle and upper-middle racks. Stir frequently, and halfway through the baking time, rotate from top to bottom. Bake until crisp and golden, about 30-40 minutes. The oats will become crisper as they cool. Stir in dried fruit. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
