Comment - Anthony Foley was the spirit of Munster and Thomond Park made flesh
THE chokehold of sorrow, the vice-grip of inexplicable loss seems to banish the oxygen, lock out the light.
Stop all the clocks, for the heartbeat, the ticking timepiece of the Munster nation has been stilled.
You did not need to know Anthony Foley to sense a hole gouged open in the ozone layer protecting Ireland's soul, to believe your very core, the ability to think straight, had been drop-kicked into a hellish swirl of confusion and incomprehension and disbelief when the dreadful news arrived like a volley of winding punches to the solar plexus.
All that was required was an ability to empathise, an understanding of tragedy, a sense of place: To care for your own family, to support a team, to know how to love.
To have had – at some terrible fork in life's meandering, mysterious journey - your own marrow pierced by grief.
And to listen to the tales from those who knew him best.
Anthony Foley was a Special One who preferred to uniform himself in an off-the-peg suit of normality. He was the chieftain who dined with his tribe, the warrior who decommissioned his ego each time he entered battle. The Ordinary Man who conquered a continent.
Modest, when he had very little to be modest about.
Internationally, his profile would have been dwarfed by the Himalayan reputations of O'Connell, O'Gara, Wood.
Yet, if Mount Rushmore could be transplanted to the Shannon's banks, his would likely be the very first likeness chiselled into the peak's granite face.
For he was – how wrong, how harrowing, how unfathomable that past tense seems – essence of Munster, the spirit of Thomond Park made flesh, the taproot through which a movement, a community, an unstoppable yearning was fed and watered.
Not because he was capped 202 times for his province, nor because he played more Heineken Cup games than anybody else, not because he was a Munster blueblood, his father, Brendan, among the Alone it Stands immortals of 1978, not even because he lifted a trophy – and a people – toward the Cardiff heavens that May evening in 2006.
No, it was because he made a connection, because he understood: He was of the clan he served, whose lives he made better; greatness strengthened rather than severed the umbilical cord between Foley and the Motherland.
That much was evident almost before his last breath had ebbed.
Oh Lord, to watch the television pictures as the impromptu, pop-up crimson shrine was constructed outside Stade Yves-du-Manoir was at once, a terrible and beautiful thing. It was to be transported to the most moving cathedral of solidarity.
Even a stranger could immediately recognise the universal languages of anguish and deference and tribute, of broken people scrambling to make sense, to offer support.
It was as powerful as a uranium-enriched nuclear warhead.
The Fields of Athenry, gently hummed, mournful, respectful; and then, visceral, booming, gorgeous, defiant, the adopted anthem of Shannon RFC: There is an Isle.
"There is an Isle, a bonnie Isle,
Stands proudly from,
Stands proudly from the sea,
And dearer far than all this world
Is that dear Isle, is that dear Isle to me."
And then the spine-tingling, tear-laden chorus, lines Foley would have bellowed – a refrain of belonging - in so many dressing-rooms:
"But because it is my native land,
And my home, my home is there."
Nobody ever wondered where home was for Axel.
He was as Munster as Tipp hurling or Kerry football, as defining a headland as the Cliffs of Moher, a towering, instantly recognisable provincial landmark.
Foley was a footbridge from rugby's final days of Corinthian excess to the new age of po-faced professionalism.
If his innate thirst for knowledge, for self-improvement made a young Foley a willing convert to the game's bright new dawn, a small part of him never crossed the Rubicon.
There was an old-school love of life and mischief, a joy in camaraderie, an undiluted sense of wonder, we imagine, whenever he gathered with his oldest comrades.
He was a giant, a titan, a big man, but as Tyrone Howe so eloquently phrased it "not the kind of big man who is created in a gym…big personality, a big sense of humour, generous to a fault."
Foley's greatness was born not of endlessly bench-pressing the equivalent of a small family car, but from the nurturing the over-sized muscle between his ears.
Oh, he had exceptional physical gifts. His sometime room-mate Liam Toland talks of a player who could pass off both hands, who could drop-kick like an out-half.
But it was his intelligence, his cerebral approach to the game which set him apart: He was the player who only had to read half the clue to solve the crossword puzzle. That old line about not needing to be the fastest if you knew the shortest route was a perfect fit.
See him now: Lightly stubbled, unkempt, even; eyes half-shut yet wide open, Munster's famous crimson shirt a second skin, invariably, inevitably in the right place.
He set standards, gave all of himself, laboured in the crucible forging the Munster legend. And, through that selfless service, he himself became a legend.
The pain for his family and friends is so red-raw, the bewilderment so absolute, that it can seem trite to suggest that legend, that status, is inextinguishable, beyond mortality's reach.
But it is true.
In "Consolation", a 2,000-year-old manuscript, that wise Roman statesman and philosopher, Cicero asks: "What is the soul?"
He answers his own question: "It is not moist or airy or fiery or compounded of the earth. There is nothing in these elements that accounts for the power of memory, mind or thought, that recalls the past, foresees the future or comprehends the present. Rather the soul must be counted as a fifth element – divine and therefore eternal."
As the chokehold of grief loosens just a little, here are words to cling to.
Anthony Foley's soul will forever illuminate Munster, an eternal, ethereal presence: Because it is his native land. And his home, his home is there.

When you replace the gutters on your home, it does not mean that you are free from gutter maintenance. In order to prolong the life and function of your new gutters, you need to stick to a rigid maintenance schedule or you could find yourself replacing your gutters much more often than you prefer. Setting a schedule and sticking to it will allow your home to have uneventful seasons that do not lead to leaky roofs, cracks in the foundation or erosion on your landscaping.
Waiting Too Long
Many homeowners wrongly think that they do not need to maintain their gutters until they see standing water or realize that there is a clog. This is a myth and one that could cause unnecessary damage to the exterior of your home, not just your gutters. If your gutters are forced to hold large amounts of water due to a clog, you could put the rest of your home at risk for damage including your landscaping and foundation.
It is easiest to set a yearly schedule to maintain your gutters. At a minimum you should schedule a thorough cleaning of your gutters twice a year. If you inspect and clean your gutters at the end of spring and the end of fall, you will have the best results. During the fall, it is an obvious risk to have hundreds of leaves clogging up your system. This clog could then lead to packed snow into your system, packing down your roof and eventually causing leaks in your basement.
Clean the Roof
Even the most rigid gutter maintenance schedule could be rendered useless if you do not clean the roof at the same time that you clear out the gutters. Ridding your gutters of various leaves and debris is good for the flow of water, but who's to say in a day or two the debris that is on the roof doesn't end up in the areas you just cleaned? In order to achieve the most satisfactory results, it is important to clean all areas near the gutter to prevent clogging up your system and causing water damage to various areas of your home.

When you have injured your spine or have back pain that just won't go away, it is wise to see a doctor who specializes in spine care. This area of medicine is highly specialized, as it requires working knowledge of the bone, nerve and soft tissue structure of your spine. An orthopedic surgeon must complete additional training to become a spine specialist because it is so complex.
Orthopedix MD - formally Meli Orthopedic Centers of Excellence - is proud to offer spine care in Ft. Lauderdale and Margate. We offer non-surgical and surgical treatment of spine conditions. When less invasive treatment options are not enough, you and your doctor can discuss having back surgery to see if it is right for you. For some people, the best way to overcome their pain is to have surgery.
Learn about common spine conditions and treatments in our patient education center:
To schedule a consultation at one of our of our two conveniently located South Florida locations, call our Ft. Lauderdale office at (954) 771-8177 or our Margate office at (954) 580-4080. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

It Ain't Ya Booty, It's Ya Beauty…
I know what you're thinking.
Ugh! Another, "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder" blog post…
Well, it wouldn't be a saying if it weren't purposeful and true, Right?
I'm challenging you to think of this saying in a new way.
Instead of thinking "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," think "Your Actions, Define Your Beauty!".
Beauty is a Perception of Who You Really Are:
The person You show the world, Every. Single. Day.
You woke up today,
And you realized that beauty is also a choice.
You can choose to be beautiful through helping others, being nicer on purpose, exuding positive vibes in your daily encounters,
and eradicating or killing any actions that represent meanness, badness or bullying.
Kill Them With Kindness, like Selena Gomez said!
When your actions are ugly, your appearance is often deemed ugly too.
You can be the pretty girl who bullies others,
But, realistically,
Is that bully beautiful?
All I can wonder is,
Who hurt her? Why is she so mean to others?
Pain lies deeper beneath her anger.
Until she confronts that pain, she will continue to hide her beauty.
The World Can Embrace YOU & Destroy YOU all in the same hour,
But ONLY if You Let It.
It's important to realize that self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care are pillars of beauty.
They are building blocks that add to your self-esteem and self-pride.
Beauty is not only how you treat others, it's also how you treat yourself and how you see yourself.
Are you confident? Are you secure? Are you comfortable in the skin you're in?
The Short answer: No…
The Real answer: NOT YET!
You, my dear, are a wonderful work in progress. Every day that you wake up, you are gifted with many choices.
Your circumstances aren't always things you can control, but your choices are.
You may not have chosen what school you wanted to attend, the color of your skin, or the size of your shoes.
Nonetheless, you did choose who your best friend is & what you wanted to wear for the day. Same as those choices, you can also choose to do random acts of kindness as a gift to the people around you.
I never heard anyone say that the kindhearted person who stopped her peers from bullying another person was ugly. Equally, I've never heard of the person rescuing a puppy from drowning in a puddle as hideous.
Kindness and ugliness are as much of a pair as jelly and mayo sandwiches; they just don't match.
Just make sure your head is held high, your baby hairs are laid and your willingness to be kind is at the forefront of your daily life agenda.
Remember, "In life, we are measured by how we treat other people, and also how we treat ourselves"
No matter what type of girl you strive to be daily,
Be true to yourself, Love yourself, & be Nice to those around you.

Success in the corporate world takes long before it comes to pass. There are very many experts in the field, which makes it very competitive. Time is needed to learn and practice skills. One way to learn is by studying the business habits of the pioneers in the business field. Here are some tips we can learn from the great Louis Chenevert;
Relentless Focus
Nothing is obtained without any effort in the world. Louis Chenevert says that this is one trait that has contributed to the person he is today. In UTC as the CEO, he worked to boost his innovation and creativity to accomplish his goals. It is important to avoid other distractions that may come along the way that may deviate you from your goals.
Most companies don't fail to accomplish their goals because their strategies are wrong. They fail because they choose the wrong team. You need a team with the right skills. When other firms were cutting on their production cost through layouts, Louis Chenevert retained his engineers by moving them to a location that their input was needed. He also felt moving the plant of the company to a country where services were cheap was a bad idea. Chenevert says that you have to know that all your plans will only come to reality if you have a solid team to make sure they are implemented.
The current CEO of the firm is following the footsteps of Louis Chenevert. He has retained the program that allows the employees of UTC to acquire the degrees of their choice.
Not everyone will be happy with your success. There is a group of people that will always be against the ideas that you project. Focusing on them only delays with your success or ruins it. It is, therefore, vital that you learn to ignore them and move forward with the people who are ready.
Louis Chenevert says that this is the single thing he could learn to deal with as soon as possible if he went back in time. He says that the internal politics of the company can be very destructive if not well handled.

But it also got me thinking about what other kinds of people I have learned to filter out of close relationships. The author, Donald Miller, identifies false victims, bullies and overly religious. I would add
- Takers and Overly Needy
- Self-Centered and Indulgent
- Mean Spirited
- Controllers
Miller continues with, "All of this may sound calloused, but as we get older, we realize there are people in the world who refuse to mature. Maturity means we are honest, safe and transparent. A mature person understands their faults and admits to them. An immature person is looking for power in some kind of game. If you want to be mature, surround yourself by mature people. Am I being unkind, leaving people behind? Perhaps. But being left behind was their decision. If a person wants to lie, make fun of others or not deal with their own depravity, they need to spend some time alone until they can learn to grow up."
He cites the book Safe People and I would add Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. Maturing to the place where I have freedom to determine the kind of people in my circle has been an important growth pattern of my last decade. I hope that my filter continues to sharpen gracefully.
What types of people would you add to the list? Do you find it challenging to intentionally eliminate people from your close circle? I do sometimes, but I'm getting over that.

World's Most Preposterous Animals
Nature has a funny sense of humor. Some animals look too ridiculous to be real, but rest assured they are. Check out these startling examples.
Pallas Cat
Garfield? This plushy wildcat can be found in the rocky hills of the Asian steppes around the Caspian sea. Its dense fur and short legs give it a pudgy appearance. A slow runner, the Pallas cat prefers to stalk or ambush its prey, which mostly consists of rodents and birds.
This chain-mailed critter inhabits tropical regions of Chad, Sudan, and Kenya. The Pangolin is a mix between an anteater, armadillo, and sloth. It's one of the only mammals to have scales. Having no teeth, the Pangolin scoops up ants and other insects with its long, sticky tongue.
Goblin Shark
Aptly named, this long-nosed monstrosity can be found all across the Pacific, from Australia to Japan, where it was first discovered. The Goblin shark lives in deep water and feeds on fish, crabs, and squid. Its body has an unusual pink coloration.
Mara (Patagonian Cavy)
Odd mix of rabbit and deer. Mara are actually most closely related to guinea pigs. They're native to the Patagonian steppes of Argentina. They use strong hind legs to hop around like a rabbit.
Cantor's Softshell Turtle
This collasal fresh-water turtle can grow up to 6 feet in length and lives across Southern Asia. Its diet consists of crustaceans, mollusks, and fish, which it ambushes lying buried in silt. Cantor turtles are dwindling in numbers, now considered endangered.
Beluga Sturgeon
The king of caviar. Beluga sturgeon are the single most expensive fish in the world. Prized for its roe and fished near to extinction, this massive fish can reach up to 3,000 lbs and live over 100 years. Beluga thrive in salt or fresh water, inhabiting the Caspian sea and adjacent water systems. Beluga caviar is illegal in the Unite States.
Hamadryas Baboon
This baboon species is native to North Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. It prefers semi-arid climate and rocky areas, taking advantage of cliff edges for shelter. Hamadryas baboons are omnivorous and diurnal. Baboons live in strict, multi-tiered, hierarchical societies, with bands often composed of up to 200 members. Males are fiercely aggressive, often fighting for mating rights.
Frigate Bird
A bird with its own airbag. Frigates are large seabirds found around the coasts of the tropical Pacific and India oceans and the Galapagos islands. They have black, iridescent feathers and the greatest wing-span-to-body ratio of any other bird. Males have large, red, inflatable "gular" pouches which they us during mating season to attract females.
Naked Mole Rat
The naked mole rate is a hairless, half-blind rodent native to Ethiopia. It's uniquely adapted to living in harsh subterranean conditions: the mole rat has a very low metabolic rate, unusually high blood oxygen affinity, and large front teeth used for digging. Mole rats live together in colonies of up to 100 and unlike other mammals, are largely unable to self-regulate body temperature.
Mata Mata
The Mata Mata is a sedentary, freshwater turtle native to the stagnant backwaters of Central South America and the Amazon. This turtle has a unique hunting tactic: it sits motionless in the silt with its large mouth wide open, creating a pressure vacuum that sucks in fish and small aquatic invertebrates.

How do you reach out to America's youth and get them to vote in the mid-term elections? You call on some of today's hottest musicians and actors to offer up a director plea — get out the vote.
Whitehouse Post editor Trish Fuller was called on to edit the Brody Baker-directed and 1985-produced Rock the Vote PSA from agency Starworks Group called Turn Out For What, which uses humor and quick cuts to grab young people's attention.
The piece, shot on Red, starts off with rapper Lil Jon on the phone telling Whoopie Goldberg that he can't talk because he is on his way to vote in the mid-term elections. The piece then transitions to a polling place where actress Sophia Bush is seen grabbing a ballot followed by Lil Jon, who finds actress Lena Dunham and her fitness trainer in a polling booth. Dunham cheerily states, "That's how we do it in Hollywood, we vote with our trainers." Lil Jon goes on to ask Dunham about the next season of her show Girls, wondering who ends up with who romantically. And that's just the start of the fun. Watch the full PSA here:
Along with the humor and music, there is a frenetic montage meant to match the energy of Lil Jon's Turn Down for What music video spliced with celebs, including Fred Armisten, dancing — sometimes in slo-mo — and declaring the reasons they showed up to the polls. Student loans, the legalization of marijuana, the environment, and gay rights are all causes featured as Fuller's fast-paced, well-timed cuts pulse with an energetic call to action.
Editor Trish Fuller, who cuts on Avid Media Composer, says she was given about an hour and a half of footage, which was loaded in just one day.
But prior to getting the footage Fuller had a conversation with director Baker about the story structure. "The middle had to feel like a music video and we wanted it to be as fun as possible. Brody shot some over-cranked footage of the various actors and performers. He was really great about letting me have the freedom to play around with speed and how things played out."
In general, Fuller said the PSA came together pretty quickly. "We played around with the end transition a bit, but the process went pretty smoothly."
The PSA tackles a serious subject but in a fun and humorous way, and Fuller says that all happened pretty seamlessly. "Luckily, the song is upbeat and the footage is so funny to start with that it didn't make my job too difficult. What's not to love about Lil Jon?!"

Steering the Melbourne Storm to all but one NRL finals series since 2005, coach Craig Bellamy knows a thing or two about tapering his team.
With two rounds remaining, including Saturday night's clash with defending champion Sydney Roosters in Sydney, Bellamy feels things are falling into place.
"When you're really prepared everything at this time of year comes easy in terms of your preparation and there's no distraction," said Bellamy, with the club only missing the 2010 finals when stripped of points for salary cap cheating.
"Your planning and training goes smoothly and when you've got good preparation you've usually got a good performance and we're in that mode at the moment."
Currently fifth, the Storm have the chance to draw level on 32 points alongside the third-placed Roosters and Penrith, who take on second-placed Manly on Sunday.
In their last meeting in Melbourne in round 13 the Roosters rolled the Storm 32-12, although the home side was missing superstars Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater.
"Last time we were outmuscled by them but we've got a bigger, more mature team this time so hopefully we can handle them a bit better," Bellamy said.
"Their outside backs are also very strong and can get their sets off to a good start so that's one area we need to defend well."
While plenty was riding on their final two games Bellamy said that crowded competition ladder meant if ever a team outside the top four was to win, this was the season.
"This competition is so close if it's going to be a year when teams could do it from the bottom of the top eight, this year could be the year."
If Melbourne do secure a top four finals berth they feel they've earned it, with the Roosters match their fifth away game in the last six weeks.
It's also the team's second five-day turnaround in that period after playing against the Panthers in Sydney on Monday night.
Bellamy felt the scheduling was almost laughable.
"I don't know if ridiculous is the right word," Bellamy said.
"We always talk about the care and welfare of our players but to put us through that, it's wrong.
"To have a five-day turnaround between away games is real tough but to have two of those in a month, or two in five games, is ultra tough.
"Hopefully it will be something that will be looked at in the pre-season and mightn't happen again."

Martin Freeman & Amanda Abbington Split, So Allow These 'Sherlock' Gifs To Console You
And another celebrity couple bites the dust. The year 2016 just can't help but continue to be the worst, especially when it comes to love, can it? Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington split after 15 years together, he revealed in an interview with the Financial Times shared Thursday. "I'm not with Amanda any more," he said. It appears the decision was a mutual one as the Sherlock star added, "It's very, very amicable — I'll always love Amanda."
The two first got together in 2000 and have two children, Grace and Joseph. It was never made clear if the two had ever married, but it's something Freeman touched upon in a December 2015 interview with the Radio Times (via DailyMail.com). "We might have married already," he teased. "I'm just saying — mind your own business. My job is public, why should my private life be public as well? We live in an age where you have to know everything and that's tedious. If people make a fuss over me I think, 'Get out more.'"
The breakup news is probably hitting Sherlock fans more so than others, because as they know, both Freeman and Abbington star in the series together. Their characters, John Watson and Mary Morstan, are a couple who even have a child together in Season 4. It's always a bummer when a beloved couple go their separate ways, but if this is what was best for Freeman and Abbington, then they should have fans' support.
If fans just can't wrap their heads around the news, then allow the following gifs of Mary and John from Sherlock to console you.
When Mary Told John Who's Boss
That's right, John.
When John Didn't Need Her Real Name
Their love overcomes all secrets.
When They Finally Got Married
When John Said This
I mean, come on.
When They Bonded Over Sherlock
Who doesn't?
When John Let Mary Be Mary
Despite her secrets, he eventually let it all go.
When Mary Complimented John
They truly are the best.

North Korea is a big deal and deserves it's own thread.
Trump signs executive order targeting North Korea's trading partnersPresident Trump signed an executive order Thursday targeting North Koreas trading partners, calling it a powerful new tool aimed at isolating and de-nuclearizing the regime.
The president announced the order as he met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
He said the order would help target individuals and companies doing business with Pyongyang. Specifically, he said it enhances the Treasury Departments authority to target those conducting significant trade with the regime, including by sanctioning foreign banks.
It is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal rogue regime, Trump said.
He added, Foreign banks will face a clear choice. Do business with the United States, or facilitate trade with the lawless regime in North Korea.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin echoed the president as he issued a warning to foreign banks at a news conference Thursday.
Foreign financial institutions are now on notice that going forward they can choose to do business with the United States or with North Korea, but not both, he said.
Mnuchin said the executive order authorizes the Treasury Department to suspend U.S. account access to foreign banks that knowingly facilitate significant transactions tied to trade with North Korea.
For too long, North Korea has evaded sanctions and used the international financial system to facilitate funding for its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs, Mnuchin said. No bank in any country should be used to facilitate Kim Jong Uns destructive behavior.
According to a fact sheet provided by the White House, the executive order issues a 180-day ban on vessels and aircraft that have visited North Korea from visiting the United States.
It also allows for sanctions of those involved in the construction, energy, financial services, fishing, information technology, manufacturing, medical, mining, textiles, or transportation industries in North Korea.
On the heels of giving a blistering speech before the U.N. General Assembly where the president blasted rocket man Kim Jong Un, Trump said Thursday that he seeks a complete de-nuclearization of North Korea.
We cannot have this as a world body any longer, he said.
Trump also praised China following reports that its banks are halting business with North Korea.
Chinese banks received a document Monday stating they should halt financial services and loans to new and existing North Korean customers as a result of strict U.N. sanctions passed earlier this month, a source told Reuters on Thursday.
Our bank is fulfilling our international obligations and implementing United Nations sanctions against North Korea. As such, we refuse to handle any individual loans connected to North Korea, the document reportedly said.
The move comes after repeated calls from the Trump administration for China to help isolate Kim Jong Un's dictatorship.
We appreciate it, Trump said Thursday.
Kim Jong Un Calls President Trump Dotard and Frightened DogNorth Korea's leader called President Donald Trump "a frightened dog" and a "gangster fond of playing with fire" in an official statement released Thursday.
Kim Jong Un responded to Trump's United Nations speech in a dispatch written in the first person. South Korea's government said it was the first such direct address to the world by any North Korean leader.
"Far from making remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful to defusing tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors," Kim said. "A frightened dog barks louder."
Hours later, North Korea's foreign minister reportedly said his country may test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean to fulfill Kim's vow to take the "highest-level" action against the United States.
Trump hit back Friday morning on Twitter.
"Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!" he wrote.
Trump, during his speech on the U.N. floor on Tuesday, threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea if the United States were "forced to defend itself."
Kim, whom Trump has recently started deriding as "Rocket Man," said the threat had not fallen on deaf ears.
"I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the U.S. pay dearly for his speech calling for totally destroying [North Korea]," he added.
In his bellicose statement Thursday, Kim also repeatedly referred to Trump as a "dotard" an arcane term for a senile or weak-minded elderly person.
"I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire," Kim said.
Trump announced on Thursday that he planned to sign an executive order that would slap sanctions on individuals, companies and financial institutions that do business with what Trump characterized as "this criminal rogue regime."
He said his mission was North Korea's "complete denuclearization."
According to South Korea's Yonhap News, Pyongyang may conduct a hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific as a warning to the United States after Trump's latest speech.
"It could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific," North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told reporters. "We have no idea about what actions could be taken as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong Un."
Japan, the only country ever to suffer an atomic attack, described that threat as "totally unacceptable."
Earlier this month, the U.N. Security Council passed harsh sanctions targeting Kim's nation, which has continued missile tests and aims to expand its nuclear arsenal.
The sanctions ban 90 percent of North Korean exports and were approved by Russia and China, who had previously maintained closer ties to North Korea.
In his statement, Kim did not mention the sanctions.
The statement will further escalate the war of words between Kim and Trump as the North moves closer to perfecting a nuclear-tipped missile that could strike America.
In recent months, the North has launched a pair of still-developmental ICBMs it said were capable of striking the continental United States and a pair of intermediate-range missiles that soared over Japanese territory.
North Korea has previously embraced racist, sexist and just plain rude statements about its enemies.
It repeatedly called one past South Korean leader "rat faced." It has said that the South's first female president, Park Geun-hye, was a "crafty prostitute" and suggested ex-President Barack Obama was her pimp. It also called Obama a "monkey."

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of intratumoral injection of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with an adenovirus encoding interleukin-12 genes (AFIL-12) for patients with metastatic gastrointestinal carcinomas. Secondarily, we have evaluated biologic effects and antitumoral activity.
Seventeen patients with metastatic pancreatic (n = 3), colorectal (n = 5), or primary liver (n = 9) malignancies entered the study. DCs were generated from CD14+ monocytes from leukapheresis, cultured and transfected with AFIL-12 before administration. Doses from 10 x 10(6) to 50 x 10(6) cells were escalated in three cohorts of patients. Patients received up to three doses at 21-day intervals.
Fifteen (88%) and 11 of 17 (65%) patients were assessable for toxicity and response, respectively. Intratumoral DC injections were mainly guided by ultrasound. Treatment was well tolerated. The most common side effects were lymphopenia, fever, and malaise. Interferon gamma and interleukin-6 serum concentrations were increased in 15 patients after each treatment, as well as peripheral blood natural killer activity in five patients. DC transfected with AFIL-12 stimulated a potent antibody response against adenoviral capsides. DC treatment induced a marked increase of infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes in three of 11 tumor biopsies analyzed. A partial response was observed in one patient with pancreatic carcinoma. Stable disease was observed in two patients and progression in eight patients, with two of the cases fast-progressing during treatment.
Intratumoral injection of DC transfected with an adenovirus encoding interleukin-12 to patients with metastatic gastrointestinal malignancies is feasible and well tolerated. Further studies are necessary to define and increase clinical efficacy.

Season 2014-15
The world is a village, we are told.
But do we really know our neighbours?
Founded during season 2010-2011 by Le Théâtre Louis Jouvet de Rethel-Scène conventionnée des Ardennes, the network À l'Est du nouveau aims to introduce the live performing arts of cultures around the world to the public of Champagne Ardennes and the neighbouring regions.
Operating on a participative mode, we work to organize each season crossed diffusions, creations of residences, and outreach work, which allows the public as well as artists to open up to a cultural dialogue, urgently needed nowadays in a – too often unwanted and misunderstood – globalized world.

Thinking pink, in unique ways
It goes without saying that you're going to see a lot of pink at Susan G. Komen for the Cure's annual dinner-dance, A Pink Tie Affair. What makes it interesting is the many ways in which people choose to wear it.
Chairwoman Sharon Magness Blake, as you can see in the photo at right, was stunning in hot pink. She's a five-year breast cancer survivor, and enlisted her husband, attorney Ernie Blake, to serve as one of the gala's seven Pink Tie Guys. The others were Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper; Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton; Independence Elementary School principal Matthew McDonald; Larry Trujillo, head of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security; retired Coorstek chairman Joseph Coors Jr.; and 9News anchor Mark Koebrich, who emceed the benefit.
Lark Katchur tied a pink bow on her wrist; Cindy Galloway Kellogg secured her hair with a pink headband; Kate Paul, president of Delta Dental of Colorado, kept the evening's chill at bay by bundling up in a pink wrap; and Denise Snyder, owner of the Larimer Square boutique Mariel, wore a beautiful shade of pink lipstick (Champagne, by Lancome).
We also spotted a profusion of pink purses, shoes, vests, pocket squares, cummerbunds and jewelry. Even the Sheraton Denver Downtown staff got into the spirit; parking valets and banquet servers all wore pink ties.
Special guests that night also included Margaret Kelly, chief executive officer at RE/MAX and a 12-year breast cancer survivor, and Nicole Davis, who was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer in 2009 when she was 26 years old and six months pregnant. Kelly received the Komen Denver Ambassador Award for her longstanding personal and professional commitment to the cause; Davis was the featured speaker.
John DellaSalle is president of the Denver affiliate board and with his wife, Angela, invited Alex and Julie Zaveral, Adam and Adrine Writer, Randy and Gretchen Carpenter, Kirk and Samantha Scheitler and Chris and Angela Gibbons to join them at a table sponsored by his company, Tennison Group.
A Young Professionals committee headed by Lauren Cannon Davis, Alexis Shipman Hart and Cora Wheeler sold enough tickets to fill four tables; that contingent included Sarah Peay, Catherine and Peter Eklund, Brandon Berkley, Patrick Roth, Jenn Parker, Patience Baldwin, Aaron Kramish, Anne Harrington and Kelsey Tatyama.
Carl and Sandy Unrein were there on behalf of the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation; photographer Sandy Puc spent the silent auction/social hour snapping souvenir pictures and Arlene and Don Johnson were hosts to a group that included Ed and Gayle Novak and Harold and Terri Graper. Arlene Johnson sits on the affiliate's honorary council with Kim Christiansen, Gail Coors, Dottie Lamm, Frances Owens, Mark Koebrich and Sharon Magness Blake.
The St. Joseph Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center also was well-represented at the gala, filling two tables with a group that included Drs. Denise Norton, Jerome Schroder, Richard Hesky, Shawn Young and Richard Rubenstein.
Former Bronco Billy Thompson was there, too, along with Brian and Shelley Hart; Jesse Ogas and Wayne Taylor; Michael and Shereen Pollak, Jeff and Sarah Steepleton; Patti Shyne; Hollen and Tony Ferrendelli; Nick and Christine Bellino; Ralph and Susan Baracos; Bob and Lori Shaw; Joanie Lucas; Chuck and Gina Berg; Wayne, Kristin and Julie Battenfield; Teddy and Misty Halaby; and John and Karen Ikard.

Foxglove Seeds - Pam's Split
£2.99 each
A truly sophisticated cottage-garden plant that puts up tall stems of graceful white 'split' bells with a rich berry splash inside.
Pollinating insects will love this variety as much as you will, as you watch them busying around the flowers. Plant in sun or dappled shade and they will be happy.
Because this variety is multi-stemmed, cut one or two or the flower spikes to bring indoors as part of a decorative floral display.
Here's how to sow seeds for successful germination…..
1) Fill a 6-9cm pot or cell tray with seed compost – which is light and contains a small but balance level of nutrients in the soil. Overfill the pot or cell trays and strike excess soil off so that the seed tray is filled to the top with un-compressed soil.
2) Water soil from underneath by placing the tray in a container of water, letting the soil absorb the water from underneath. After about two-to five minutes remove from the container of water.
3) Press the seed into individual cells or pots the soil to a depth of about 2cm using a dibber or pencil.
4) Cover the seeds with more of the seed-compost.
5) Water above with a watering can with sprinkler (rose) and add fungicide to the first watering to guard against damping off.
6) Label and date the seeds and place in a cool light place.
Sowing directly outdoors
1) Use a rake to level the surface and create a crumble-like tilth. At this point remove any weeds or large stones etc.
2) Water the surface prior to sowing. This is better than watering over the top of seeds once they are sown as the force of the water can displace the seeds unevenly.
3) Thinly scatter the seed over the soil. Pour the seed into the palm then tap lightly with the other hand to distribute the seed evenly over the area of soil.
4) Use a rake to gently cover the seeds with soil.
5) Before you forget where the row is and what you've sown, place a label in the soil at one end.
6) Remember to water in dry spells
If you want your plants to germinate quickly you can put down a horticultural fleece over the soil – this helps retain the heat in the soil, and doubles up as protection from hungry seed-eating birds.

DVD: Bridge to Terabithia
Prior to watching it, Bridge to Terabithia (BtT) intrigued me. On one hand, it was produced by Walden Media, a Christian evangelical group that peps up its films with good old Christian values as per their most famous creation so far, Narnia. BTW, it is interesting to note that the major studio collaborating with Walden in the production of the film is Disney: guess it takes a devil to cooperate with another. All this devil talk certainly made me curious!
BtT also got favorable reviews by the ABC's David & Margaret. They said it was a nice adventure story and had a bit of a problem with its monsters, but if memory serves me right they gave the film three stars – again, that's enough to make me interested in what seemed like a fantasy story (not it doesn't really matter what they said; it's what I remember them to say that matters). Who knows, maybe it would be a Christian version of Stardust? I was even more curious!
I'll cut to the chase: I was gravely disappointed by BtT, mostly because it is not a fantasy tale at all but rather a film of a completely different nature that includes a bit of fantasy. I will warn you now that the following paragraphs include a major spoiler, so for the benefit of those who won't read the rest I will add that not only is BtT not a fantasy tale, it is also very badly made.
Still here? OK.
So what genre does BtT fall into then, if it's not a fantasy tale? The simple answer to the question is that it's a film about outsiders. To narrow it down even more, it's a film aimed at children that discusses outsider children and their attempts to survive and maybe even prosper in a hostile environment (that is, an environment made mostly of conformist kids). Thing is, given its target audience – kids having a hard time and looking for help – BtT packs a rather violent twist that makes me warn every parent out there not to show it to their kids.
BtT tells the story of a young teenager boy (as in, a teenager who only recently hit double digits) living somewhere in rural USA, where, as it seems, most people would fall under the definition of simple god fearing folk. He is good at drawing but he doesn't get much acknowledgement on that: like all good god fearing families, his mother is mostly busy in the kitchen taking care of his three sisters while his father (Robert Patrick, the only familiar face in the film) is a hard working man that just provides for the family and is mostly interested in how well his only son has performed his house chores.
The boy is not only an outsider at home but also an outsider at school. The only person who would relate to him on the school bus is his little sister, while all the rest are pretty mean.
That, however, changes when a new girl comes to town. That girl is something else: she is not particularly Jesus oriented by her own admission, she is very literate (her parents are writers), and she can even outrun the boys in running competitions. This very imaginative girl finds her way into our boy's class and, as is quite obvious, they quickly find shelter in each other's unconventional company. Their differences unites them.
The Terabithia part of the story is the story of the two kids' escape route: they find this abandoned neck of the woods and in their imagination they create a world of monsters and heroes where they just happen to be the rulers. They have some imaginative adventures there and they utilize some super powers to fend off some evil monsters (that, by the way, have a long way to climb up the ladder of evil before any other film would regard them as a proper baddie).
As I said, the imaginary bit of the film is quite short and is far from being center stage. The bulk of the film is to do with the children's struggle to find their own identity amidst the surrounding atmosphere of alienation, manifested through older kids bullying the younger ones, sisters only interested in watching the crap on TV, parents who are not there, and lack of appreciation for our kids' talents.
BtT takes a major turn at the end of is second act (that is, two thirds across this hour and a half long film). And here is the major spoiler: That girl that changed the scene for our boy dies; the rest of the film then becomes the story of coping with this death.
And that's where my main problem with BtT lies: First and foremost, this death makes this supposedly PG rated film pretty much unwatchable for kids. While death is often portrayed in kids' films, I can hardly recall a case where (a) it takes such a central role, (b) it is to do with a girl that is a child herself (as opposed to the more regular scene of a older relative dying), (c) it is to do with a main character as opposed to a supporting role, and (d) it consumes the viewer's attention as much. Sure, teaching kids about death is important, but why so bluntly? If this is Walden's idea of instilling good values, I would say they need a brain implant.
Thus BtT ends up a mishmash of sorts: a tale of kids trying to find their place, a tale of fantasy, and a tale of coping with death. None of the components really work that well with one another, the attempts at synergy are badly executed with suspension of disbelief overly stretched and the kids' poor acting kills it all.
You finish watching the film and you ask yourself what it was all about and what was it that the film tried to tell you. The problem is, it's hard to say: does it imply you need to escape to an imaginary world in order to cope with your problems here on earth? In my opinion the issues raised by the film are issues well worth discussing, it's just that the handling is bad and the proposed solutions would make things even worse.
Memorable fact: The film's church will not take females wearing pants in. I wonder if that is the general case with churches? I don't recall the bible having much to say about pants, especially in the context of women. Still, it's probably much better than the treatment women get at synagogues.
Technical assessment: As I had said on previous occasions – Disney knows how to produce a DVD.
Overall: A badly made projection of a weird mind that is quite disturbing. 1.5 out of 5 stars.

I haven't seen the movie or read the book it's based on.
From what I remember, the movie creators (director, writer, etc.) were very upset with the movie promos that made it look like a fantasy film. They were worried that people who are likely to enjoy the movie won't come, thinking it's a Narnia clone, and that others will come for that very reason and end up disappointed.
It's unclear to me why you equate Disney with evil, and what exactly you have against Walden Media. Looking at their web site I see they made/published several family oriented books and movies. What's wrong with that?

The movie creators have every reason to be angry: as you say, I came in expecting a Narnia myself. Still, the end result is pretty bad regardless of expectations.
I equate Disney with evil because they are the masters of merchandising and turning films into consumerism rather than art. From familiarity with the way they operate and the way they treat their employees, that attitude is not reserved to films alone but also to their clients and staff.
My problem with Walden is the same problem I have with any bullshit spreading evangelical organization/person. People end up fucked up because of their likes. Especially the families on the receiving end of their orientation.
Sure, they have every right to say what they have to say, but sadly we don't have their equivalents in the rational camp: With the exception of Charles Simonyi, I have never heard of a millionaire philanthropist spending money to help promote rationalism and the scientific approach; on the other hand, there's a multitude of them on the enemy side, starting from the tax free Catholic church and progressing to Walden and the guy behind Dominos Pizza.

but why do you call Walden an "evangelical organization"?
- 19/6/08 11:10 pm
- Moshe Reuveni said...
And I thought you'd have a problem with me referring to them as the enemy.
I called them evangelical simply because, to the best of my understanding, their stated purpose is to spread Christian messages (as opposed to creating good art or even making money). They're sponsored by a millionaire who considers family movies to be the best way to spread that word, which in my book qualifies as evangelical.
And also as an enemy of reason. Granted, one of many, but also one with too many resources and keen to pour their imaginary friends into the open minds of kids.
I suspect the damage could not be undone.

I don't have much to add, except that it's too bad this film wasn't better. I did read the book as a youngster and really liked it (It's hard to remember details, though). When I saw this film's previews I decided not to bother because it looked much more fantastical than the story I remembered. Turns out it's just misleading advertising.
The things I most remember about the book are the fact that it was a pretty good character development of the boy as he grew, and the fact that the girl died was pretty heavy material as a kid. But I didn't feel traumatized.
- 24/6/08 7:00 am
- Moshe Reuveni said...
All I can add is that character development is indeed good, at least when comparing the film to its peers. The kids' acting is pretty bad, though.
With regards to the girl dying, while I'm fine with it I think it wasn't handled well enough in the film. You get to identify with her way too much so that when she dies I can clearly see how a kid would have a really hard time with it. Again, discussing death with children is not a bad idea, but BtT, in my opinion, doesn't do it well. It's too blunt and the answers it gives are bad, in my opinion.
I haven't read the book so I can't have a feeling for how traumatizing the book would be compared to the film. Generally speaking, I tend to be less emotionally attached to books, but I know of others who claim to be the other way around (I won't name names but rather refer you to the first comment here).

FOREX Charts, Bars, and Trading Spaces for Technical Traders
Assuming you're a technical trader, using news as your fundamental analysis component to gauge the long-term trend and the underpinnings of the short-term market.
The market -- as depicted in the price movement of a chart -- is the sum total of traders at all price level spaces and the complex interactions between them. A tug of war is occurring at each price level between buyers and sellers endeavoring to pull the market in one way or the other. Buyers wish to move prices up, obligating sellers to liquidate their positions by buying, driving prices even higher.
[caption id="attachment_13159" align="aligncenter" width="550"] The FOREX Tug of War[/caption]
This action is occurring at many price levels simultaneously. A chart time frame is the means by which technical traders zero in, or focus on, a particular level of this tug of war. Each vertical bar represents the range of prices from high to low, made over a specified time. The chart in Figure below also shows the opening price of that bar and the closing price of that bar with a small horizontal tick.

Tip: Think of each discrete time frame as a tug of war between buyers and sellers battling at that price level.
Tip: Markets do not know they have time frames. These are an artificial construct to help us dissect the price action at different levels. The perfect world would be a 5-minute chart on a 12-foot wide monitor.
A trending market at one level may be part of a trading market at a higher level. It is always relative to your focus, your frame of reference. See this in the two squared areas of the 15-minute bar chart (Figure below- Relativity of Markets on Different Time Frames -- 4-Hour) and 4-hour bar chart (Figure below- Relativity of Markets on Different Time Frames -- 15-Minute) of the EUR/USD.

Yes, it can be confusing! This is one reason the new trader wants to select a space, create a trading profile, and work it.
Tip: You will ultimately want to consider multiple time frames in your analysis. But not right now. Learn a method for analyzing a single time frame first, and then adapt it to analyzing multiple time frames.

Australians are entitled to an answer from me on controversial Catholic or Christian teachings. And we Australians are entitled to specific answers from our friends on aspects of Islamic teaching, for example on the Suras of the Sword 9:5 and 9:36 in the Koran. It is disappointing when such requests or criticisms are met only by accusations of ignorance or abuse, while the specific points are studiously avoided.More here.
Reciprocity is a fundamental notion in our dialogue with Islam: not in the sense of promising evil for evil, not an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but as a requirement that the civil rights we extend to all here are also to be extended to Christian minorities in all Islamic countries. This is presently not the case.

Welcome to the early 1900s in New Rochelle, New York! There are a lot of characters to meet right off the bat, so sit back and make yourself comfortable. First there's an upper middle class family that includes Father, Mother, Grandfather, Mother's Younger Brother and Little Boy. Yes, those are there names. We wonder just how much taunting they went through on the playground.
Then there's Evelyn Nesbit, a famous model who Mother's Younger Brother is obsessed with. There's Mameh, Tateh and Little Girl, a Jewish family trying to make ends meet on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. "Mameh" and "Tateh" mean "Mommy" and "Daddy" in Yiddish: we assumed that they received their fair share of schoolyard taunting as well.
Oh, and don't forget famous folks like J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford and Harry Houdini, the celebrated escape artist. They're going to figure in this story too.
It all begins in the summer, as Harry Houdini's car crashes in front of the upper middle class family's house. Houdini sticks around awhile and drinks some lemonade, before getting a cryptic message from Little Boy to "warn the Duke."
In the meantime, Evelyn Nesbit is preparing for the trial of her husband. You see, he killed her former lover, the architect Stanford White. Bored, Evelyn tours the Lower East Side, where she meets Tateh and Little Girl. Mameh's already out of the picture, because she slept with her employer to help pay the rent. Tateh kicked her to the curb, which we don't think is terribly kind of him.
Evelyn becomes obsessed with Little Girl and Tateh, who introduces her to Emma Goldman, the famous political activist. While Emma Goldman's giving Evelyn a massage, Mother's Younger Brother spies on them, but can't hide his presence for long. Despite the fact that he's basically a stalker, Evelyn starts dating him.
Whew, got all that? Because now it really starts to get interesting. While Father's away at the North Pole on an expedition, Mother discovers a newborn black baby in the backyard. Rather than press charges against the baby's mother, Sarah, Mother lets her move in. Soon Coalhouse Walker Jr. (the baby's father and a Harlem musician) comes calling but Sarah won't see him. At least at first.
After playing hard to get for a while she comes around, and she and Coalhouse plan to get married. While all this is happening Father returns from the North Pole, Tateh and his daughter flee to New York, and Evelyn Nesbit ends her affair with Mother's Younger Brother.
The real story now though is about Coalhouse and Sarah, as things take a turn for the worse. One day, after leaving Sarah, Coalhouse is harassed by a local firehouse. They won't let him pass in his nice car without paying a toll, something Coalhouse refuses to do. He won't back down either, especially after his car is destroyed. Worse yet, he won't marry Sarah until the whole thing's resolved. Uh oh.
Upset that Coalhouse can't get justice and won't marry her until he does, Sarah goes to get help from the Vice President (yup, the Vice President), who just happens to be in town. The Secret Service doesn't take kindly to her approaching him, and they smack her in the chest with the butt of a rifle. Before you know it, Sarah's in a hospital dying, with Coalhouse by her side... and revenge on his mind.
What does Coalhouse do? For starters, he destroys the volunteer firehouse, killing four firemen in the process. But Coalhouse is just getting started. He's got a gang now, including Mother's Younger Brother, and they've got big plans, including taking over J.P. Morgan's library. In the meantime they blow up a police station, with Mother's Younger Brother's help.
The upper middle class family, plus Sarah and the baby, all go to Atlantic City to escape the media attention caused by Coalhouse. There they meet up with Tateh and Little Girl. Tateh is now a movie director, having sold an idea for a movie book to Franklin Novelty Co., and Little Girl has grown up. Right away there's a special bond between Little Girl and Little Boy, and... between Tateh and Mother, who's getting tired of Father.
As the story builds to its climax, Coalhouse and his gang carry through on their plan to take over J.P. Morgan's library, holding the library's contents for ransom until their demands are met. Booker T. Washington and Father both help in the negotiations but Coalhouse is ultimately shot down by a trigger-happy police department.
In the aftermath, Mother's Younger Brother flees to the wars in Mexico, where he's later killed. Father dies aboard the Lusitania during World War I. And lastly, Mother and Tateh get married and end up living in California with their children and Sarah and Coalhouse's orphaned child. At least there's one happy ending, right?
It's a summer day in New Rochelle, New York, in the early 1900s. An upper-middle class family —Father, Mother, Grandfather, and Little Boy—are hanging out in a home Father built back in 1902. Mother's Younger Brother walks on the beach, head over heels for a famous model named Evelyn Nesbit, whose husband just shot her former lover, the architect Stanford White. Yikes, juicy gossip. We might think twice about dating a lady with a homicidal husband, though…
Little Boy watches a chauffeured car approach the house and then crash into telephone pole. Out steps the famous escape artist, Harry Houdini. He visits with the family and does some tricks. Then he heads off, but not before he's told by the Little Boy to "warn the Duke." Whoa, what's that supposed to mean? You'll find out.

Collectables are specialist items
Here we like to show off some of the more unusual pieces. Ranging from an antique Turkoman piece to some old bags, those from off the back of a camel naturally! Clare chooses items that she recognises as being more unusual, not necessarily valuable but more likely to have intrinsic value. Enjoy these pieces and, who knows, you might see something to start your collection. Careful though, it can be very addictive.

In order to enhance the transmission security in quantum communications via coherent states, we propose a quantum optical firewall device to protect a quantum cryptosystem against eavesdropping through optical attack strategies. Similar to the classical model of the firewall, the proposed device gives legitimate users the possibility of filtering, controlling (input/output states) and making a decision (access or deny) concerning the traveling states. To prove the security and efficiency of the suggested optical firewall, we analyze its performances against the family of intercept and resend attacks, especially against one of the most prominent attack schemes known as "Faked State Attack."

Is this the worst looking car ever?
Without wishing to open ourselves to a Clarkson-esque public flogging, Swiss businessman Ueli Anliker should be taken outside and shot in front of his family. For he is the man who took one of the world's best performance cars – the Mercedes McLaren SLR, and turned it into Liberace's wet dream.
The car is now called the 'Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream', and made its first appearance at Tuning World Bodensee last year. Anliker spent a total of 30,000 man hours (3.5yrs) and £3.5 million creating his 'masterpiece'. It has been garnished with 25 layers of red paint and 5kg of gold. The wheels, headlights and door sills are covered with 24 carat gold and the inside the cabin we can find 600 rubies worth £300,000.
Of course, this was all done on the car after he had a truly awful bodykit installed, comprising a long chin spoiler extension, side skirts and a huge rear wing. None of these parts seem to enhance the looks of the car though, so quite why they were installed is anyone's guess. Having said that, Anliker's sense of style and taste isn't exactly subtle given the colour scheme.
Anliker states the power unit under the hood started with a maximum output of 640bhp which would suggest this model was once the SLR 722 edition. It has apparently now been boosted to 999bhp by unknown means and has a top speed of 210mph, all according to Ueli Anliker myself.
Ueli Anliker has stated that he will not sell the exclusive model for anything less than £7 million. Well, good luck with that Ueli, and your collection of flying pigs...

New regulations for the transportation of horses to slaughter became effective on December 7, 2001. These regulations fulfill USDA's responsibility under the 1996 farm bill to ensure the proper care of horses without inhibiting the commercially viable transport of these animals to slaughter facilities. The regulations address the food, water, and rest that must be provided to the animals. Owner–shippers of horses are required to take certain actions in loading and transporting the animals and, in addition, certifying that the commercial transportation meets certain requirements by completing the owner–shipper certificate. Special backtags, available from the APHIS –VS District Office, are required to identify the slaughter horses during transport.
In addition, the 2001 regulations prohibit the commercial transportation to slaughter facilities of horses considered to be unfit for travel, the use of electric prods, and, beginning in 2006, the use of double-deck trailers.
The program activities have been aimed at ensuring that truckers, horse owners, stakeholders, and slaughter-plant personnel within the United States, Mexico, and Canada are conversant with the new regulations and their implementation. APHIS –VS developed and distributed a guidebook, video, truckers' leaflet, posters, and a revised owner– shipper certificate with instructions. These materials provide useful information and guidance to stakeholders involved in handling or transporting horses to slaughter.
This information is available from the APHIS Web site at: Horse Transport or may be obtained in hard copies from the APHIS –VS District Office

TIPAESATIPAESA or time, issue, position, argument, evidence, source, authority form is an extended IPA tree useful in advancing very complex arguments for resolution by very rigorous processes. - Like public policy debates for platforms, or technical debates between professionals.
The GPC living platform uses Time/issue/position/argument/evidence/source/authority (or TIPAESA ) methods to organize diverse opinions about problems in an efficient way.
Time is the basic organizing scheme. If the list is prescriptive like an agenda, then events are scheduled for times in the future. If the list is descriptive like meeting minutes (based on that agenda but deviating from it in whatever way) or Talk files, then generally it's a log from past into present. Keeping files, e.g. board meetings, in one form from future agenda to past minutes, and giving them one consistent name from proposal to ultimate review, makes it easy to refer to them elsewhere.
An issue is something that did or will come up at a point in time. If it keeps recurring, it is cyclic, and will appear multiple times on a linear time scale, and is important to resolve or limit early to avoid escalating out of control. Non-obvious issues that are detected only after many concrete issues are observed in the later timeline, should become earlier, abstract, issues... within reason.
A position is a prescriptive statement about an action to be taken, policy or limit to be set. It 'draws the line somewhere'. Typically there will be more than one position on an issue. If not, the issue may not even been an issue, and documenting it may be a matter of form, or simply complicating things. Generally, a dissent creates two positions: majority and minority, and an issue that they disagree on. So timelines fork into time/issue/positions from time alone.
An argument is a 'reason why' a position is valid or invalid. Normally a sentence that includes the word 'because' has a position in front of it, and an argument after it, i.e. "You shouldn't be President of the United States BECAUSE You're a moron". In this statement, "You shouldn't be President of the United States" is a position, and "You're a moron" is an argument that validates that position. In general, facts are arguments, and facts are conceivably disprovable by tests. Positions without arguments are generally relying on some widely shared source or authority (See below).
A piece of evidence is some relatively objective output of a test or trial or some 'smoking gun' that is generally acceptable as evidence of the argument. This means more or less what it means legally.
A source is a documented compilation of evidence, e.g. a history book, a peer-reviewed journal, or something. It can also be a person in popular parlance, but in general it's better to refer to a person as an:
Authority is a person who's bet their reputation or body on the source being accurate, i.e. they are its author, they take risks if it is 'wrong'. A position sometimes is acceptable as valid simply because of authority without any argument, evidence, or source. This is the case in Talk files, mostly, as everyone is assumed to have a right to speak, and signatures are included. An anonymous party who provides argument/evidence/source in depth, however, has as much influence or more as someone known as an authority who signs their name, and this is an important way to remove groupthink? from group discussions."
In general the more senior people frame the time horizon, the standard of evidence, credibility of source?, and acceptance of authority? so that the ordinary user can debate in the simpler IPA form. Overview:
