Named after the Dogwood tree in the Slavic language, Derenk was the only town with an exclusive Polish population for almost three centuries in the country of Hungary until 1943. In medieval times, it was known as Derek (Dren, Drenk) and the earlier community was peopled by Slavic settlers and Hungarian colonists. At one time, there was a castle near by that belonged to a royal estate owned by the Bebek family. According to the tax records in 1492, the village was populated until a Turkish occupation expunge the villagers out. There is a tax record from 1682 that demonstrates that the tax-payers in Derenk paid taxes on leased land or owned parcels of land : http://www.hungaryexchange.com/database/abaujtorna/census/derenk1682.html
A plague in 1711 decimated the entire population of the village. The landowners were the Esterházy family. They were the same family that owned the forests surrounding the area of Szadvar a mile away from Derenk thoughout the latter 1700's. One of my ancestors worked for the Esterházy Estates as a forester.
Around 1715, Derenk was repopulated with serfs from Poland. According to the local historian, Dr. Bill Remias, the population was more than 90 percent Goral Poles, with only a couple of Hungarian craftsmen, that lived in this close - knit community. In my mind, the Goral Poles are the equivalence of Scottish Highlanders! Although some people always thought that the Goral Poles in Derenk originated from Szepes, researchers at the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow designated the origins of the population that settled in Derenk in 1717 as hailing from Nowy Targtól; a town in Tatra County called Czarna Góra; and in Bukowina county, the village of Tatrzańska Białka and Tatrzańska Bubenkó. The new settlers were mostly shepherds and swine men as the soil was too rocky for farming.
The people of Derenk maintained their inclusive environment for almost three centuries. They were mostly of the Catholic faith worshipping at the parishes of Almas, Jabloncza, Szent Andras, Szilas and Szogliget. The Magyar communities surrounding Derenk respected their independence and eventually, some married Derenk villagers. The Polish language and traditions flourished for many years in Derenk.
In 1907, with 367 inhabitants living in Derenk , the treaty of Trianon split Derenk between two countries, right down it's only main road. One side was in Czechoslovakia; the other in Hungary. Derenk was given no peace as a homeland. Unfortunately for Derenk, in the 1940's, the landowners wanted the forests preserved for a 'Hunters' Park' so they razed 110 houses where Derenk thrived for so many centuries. With heavy hearts, families relocated to the villages of Emőd-Istvánmajor, Sajószentpéter and many other places. It is now entirely obliterated and located in the middle of the Aggtelek State Parks. The location is still considered to be in the country of Hungary.
Derenk became a ghost town in the middle of a forest. It's cemetery is still there. A distant Bubenko cousin visited and remarked that some of the foundations of the building, some of the fruit trees were still intact.
To this day, the descendants of the village of Derenk meet every year in summer to honor their ancestors with a mass, a cleaning of the cemetery and a family reunion. They restored the tiny chapel and recently set up a Memorial Hall. The entire 1869 census of the villagers in Derenk (including some of my family) can be searched on this website.

The worker at Los Angeles International Airport who was killed early Friday while driving a baggage cart was identified by coroner's officials as a 51-year-old Los Angeles man.
Cesar Valenzuela died early Friday when he fell out of the baggage cart and was struck by a "tug" cart. He was traveling on a service road about 5 a.m. when he either had a medical issue or lost control of the vehicle, airport officials said.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics found him unconscious and were unable to revive him, airport officials said. Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said Valenzuela was declared dead at the scene.
An investigation into the incident was ongoing Friday, but LAX officials said no flights were affected.
Valenzuela's cause of death had yet to be determined pending an examination, Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. David Smith said.

Syria in a state of civil war now: Red Cross
The 17-month long conflict in Syria has finally taken the form of a full-fledged civil war, the Red Cross said.
Zeenews Bureau
Damascus: The 17-month long conflict in Syria has finally taken the form of a full-fledged civil war, the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Sunday.
The Geneva-based humanitarian agency's assessment means that now international humanitarian law would apply throughout Syria.
"We are now talking about a non-international armed conflict in the country," ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan said.
"International humanitarian law applies to all areas where hostilities are taking place," he added.
Earlier, the Red Cross had confined its watch over three hotbeds of Syria violence - Homs, Hama and Idlib and termed them as localised civil wars between government forces and armed opposition.
But later as the violence escalated and spread wider, the Red Cross says, the civil war encompasses the entire area where the killings are taking place.
Coming in the zone of "civil war", the rules of law, as prescribed by the Swiss-based group, will apply to both the parties involved in the conflict. This means that people involved in killings, toture, etc would have violated the international humanitarian law and would face prosecution over war crimes later.
International humanitarian law grants parties to a conflict the right to use appropriate force to achieve their aims. But attacks on civilians and abuse or killing of detainees can constitute war crimes.
Red Cross' judgement comes on the heels of deadly killing in Syria's village Tremseh, which was on Saturday visited by UN monitors. The UN claimed that Syrian Army used heavy artillery, helicopter gunships, militiamen, mortars killing many.
Monitors couldn't specify the number of dead people there, but said the assault targeted rebels and opposition activists.
Meanwhile, Syria has categorically rejected the UN's claims saying the assault at Tremseh was not a "massacre, but just a military operation between the army forces and armed groups that have slapped against the wall" the six-point plan of the UN-Arab League joint special envoy to Syria Kofi Annan.
Jihad Makdissi, Syria`s foreign ministry spokesman, said, "What had been said about the use of heavy weapons was baseless. what happened wasn't an attack on civilians."
He said only light weapons were used, including RPGs, adding that the air force wasn't involved in the operation and neither did the tanks, contrary to what the UN observers said.
The 17-month long conflict in Syria has claimed the lives of over 17, 000 Syrians, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Carrot Cake Murder is the 10th book in the Hannah Swensen series by New York Times bestselling novelist Joanne Fluke.
This novel had a date of publication of February 26, 2008.
Carrot Cake Murder book description
Summertime has finally arrived in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and Hannah Swensen, owner of The Cookie Jar bakery, is looking forward to warm, lazy days, eating ice cream, and sharing picnics with friends. But when a family reunion takes a deadly turn, it's up to Hannah to find a killer…
Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behavior, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who's in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion.
Everyone is delighted when Lisa's long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years – and his arrival has everyone buzzing with excitement.
Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion, telling tales of his great success and flashing money for all to see. He's almost as popular as Hannah's scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gus's favorite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing.
Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor – and Gus's corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!
A little snooping reveals that not everyone was celebrating Gus's return. And when Hannah unearths more secrets from Gus's past, she discovers even more people with an axe to grind. Now Hannah's got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer – even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise…

Plea for help after boy, 4, sexually assaulted at Asda
Detectives in Clydebank searching for a man who sexually assaulted a four-year-old boy in a supermarket toilet have appealed to the local community for help.
Last night a mobile police office remained in place in the Asda car park, with officers hopeful that someone would come forward to help them to identify the man responsible for the attack, which took place at about 2pm on Tuesday.
He is described as white, with dark coloured or brown hair. He was wearing dark-coloured clothing and his top is believed to have been long-sleeved and bore a logo.
Detective Inspector Graham Cordner, from Strathclyde Police, said that his officers had been reviewing CCTV footage in and around the store. He said: "This is an isolated incident. Nevertheless, one…

"For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense."

"The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life."
"Thank God for the creative ideas that enrich life by adding your own creative contributions to human progress"
"An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness."
"X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name
--_Xristos_. If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary."
"I understand this is a process but the process should have been accelerated and added to at the UN."
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral; returning violence with violence only multiplies voilence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars."

Class Mare Poised to Claim Sprint DoubleFriday, 19th January 2018Volpe Veloce hasn't missed a beat as she bids to complete a prestigious sprinting double in tomorrow's Gr1 Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham, reports NZ Racing Desk. A winner of the Gr1 Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year's Day, Volpe Veloce (Foxwedge-Bardego, by Barathea) is the current pre-post favourite for Saturday's $250,000 sprint feature. "She's bouncing and ready for battle," said Gavin Parker, who trains Volpe Veloce at Matamata with Graham Richardson. "It's a long way to go for us, but she's always travelled well." Volpe Veloce, whose name in Italian translates to "fast fox", boasts the excellent record of 10 wins from 13 starts for NZ$464,000 in earnings.
Sprinter To Avenge Gr1 DefeatFriday, 19th January 2018Meanwhile, top Kiwi sprinter Start Wondering will be seeking redemption in tomorrow's Gr1 Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham, reports NZ Racing Desk. The Evan and JJ Rayner-trained gelding suffered a nose defeat in last year's edition of the sprint feature which denied him a Gr1 sprint treble having landed wins in the Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie and NRM Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa. Start Wondering kicked off his summer campaign with a second in the Listed Levin Stakes (1200m) and a brave last-start fourth in the Gr1 Railway (1200m) on a deteriorating slow 8 track at Ellerslie. "He's as well as we can have him. His work was good again this morning," Rayner said. "We just hope there's not too much rain in Wellington. I was surprised how well he did go at Auckland. We decided to run him because it would have been too long between races if we scratched." Rayner added: "We'll ride him a bit colder and have a late run at them...We're as confident as we can be. There might be a lightweight that shoots us down again but we're very happy with him." After Saturday, Rayner said Start Wondering (Eighth Wonder-Roseanbar, by Al Akbar) would bid to defend his title in the Gr1 NRM Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa on 10 February.

The fillies feature sees the return of current table-topper Dijon Bleu (Burgundy). The Lisa Latta-trained filly has led the Series from the start, winning the first leg – the Gr3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings in September. She then finished second in the Gr1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) and Gr3 Eulogy Stakes (1550m), boosting her total to 16 points. Dijon Bleu will maintain her Series lead regardless of Saturday's result, with 6 points available to the winner and her nearest rival in the field, The Lustre (Darci Brahma), sitting on 3.5.

"I'm hoping he's matured, in the autumn you'd expect him to reach racing maturity," Waller said. "He's had a couple of quiet trials because he just showed a tendency of being a bit keen last prep. We just have to make sure he switches on race day." Waller added: "I think 1300m is a good starting point for him." Purchased by Waller Racing for $1.6 million at the 2016 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale from the draft of John Singleton's Strawberry Hill Stud, the northern hemisphere conceived Merovee is the first foal to race from dual Gr2 winner & Gr1 Golden Slipper placed filly More Strawberries (More Than Ready-Milva, by Strawberry Road). A half-sister to Gr1-winning sire All American, More Strawberries hails from the family of dual Gr1-winning US stallion Rock Hard Ten.
TJ Target for In Her TimeFriday, 19th January 2018Classy sprinter In Her Time (Time Thief-Hell It's Hot, by Zeditave) will attempt to secure an elusive Group 1 victory in the autumn, reports racing.com. The Newcastle mare has been placed three times at Group 1 level, including a narrow last-start second to Hey Doc in the Gr1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley in October. However, trainer Benjamin Smith says the three-time Gr2 winner will campaign exclusively in Sydney having spent longer than anticipated in the spelling paddock. Her primary target is the $2.5 million Gr1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick on 7 April. "The Melbourne autumn might come up a bit too quick unfortunately," Smith said. "We had to leave her out in the paddock a little bit longer than we expected due to her foot, which was the issue that forced us to scratch her from the Darley Classic last November." Smith added: "The plan is she'll likely have one run before the Championships, either in the Galaxy [Gr1 on 24 March] or the fillies and mares race on that day. Then it's a fortnight into the TJ Smith Stakes."
Robert Sangster Goal for HoutzenFriday, 19th January 2018Trainer Toby Edmonds has nominated the Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes in Adelaide as the long-term target for former gun juvenile Houtzen, reports racenet. The 3YO I Am Invincible filly, who won last year's Magic Millions 2YO Classic, has not been seen in action since finishing ninth in the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington in the spring. "She has been back in work for three weeks and she will go to Sydney for some runs in March but everything is heading towards the Robert Sangster," Edmonds said. "She has really filled out and matured and she looks great to me." The $1 million Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) will be run at Morphettville racecourse in May.

WATCH: Man caught on camera having sex with DRAINPIPE – desperate times
THIS is the disturbing moment a man was caught on CCTV getting intimate with the pipe connected to his house.
The man didn't waste any time getting his kecks off before he got to it with the inanimate object.
In the video – posted to Chinese social media site Weibo – the man is seen slowly approaching the pipe in a dark alleyway.
As he starts to have sex with it the footage shows the man nervously looking around to check he is alone.
Little did he know his sordid act was recorded on CCTV and has since been viewed thousands of times online.
BlayTent commented: "Could have gone so wrong. He didn't kiss and cuddle afterwards."
Fonsini said: "The washing machine never got over the fact that he cheated on her."
But viewer USA1 seemed to understand and said: "Any port in a storm."
In another very public display of affection, a couple were caught in the act at a popular beauty spot.
And it seems having sex in public is only going to get more popular as Brits are choosing to get it on alfresco as the weather heats up.

So, recently, a friend of mine who had struggled for a long time looking for an employee, decided to send the job details to one of the many Kenyan job sites out there. They had a notice on their homepage that if you sent job details to them via email, they would post the job to an audience of thousands. They were right.
Soon, my friend's inbox was flooded with job applicants. He's extremely happy and cannot thank the Kenyan job sites enough. He's still sorting through them and is certain that he will get what he needs.
This intrigued me a little and I had a deeper look at what had happened. Not only had his little job advert appeared on the site he posted too, but it had "magically" spread through Kenyan web space like you would not believe. It was suddenly on all Kenyan job sites, it seems. Big sites, small sites – they did not seem to care.
What might interest you, though, is that his ad also 'magically' appeared on heavy-hitters N-soko (by nation Media), Dealfish and Brighter Monday. It seems that these large sits employ someone (or perhaps a bot) to go through the other, small sites, and copy their content (at least as far as job ads go). Worse, the ad that appeared on these "heavy-hitters" was absolutely worthless to a job seeker – they had removed the contact address before posting the job ad. Can you believe that?
How would akina Dealfish gain from posting a job ad that no one can apply to? Sad truth is that they don't really care. All that these job sites, big or small, are after is eyeballs. They want to post as many job openings as possible in hopes of attracting as many job seekers as possible. I would wager that they dont care if these job seekers actually find jobs….. they only want them to click on their little adsense adverts. And that, my friends, is business.
Of course I am not saying that anyone is doing any wrong – in fact I think that the whole system put together serves job seekers very well. As my friend learnt, it is also extremely useful for employers. At the end of the day it is just business – only at the cost of endless copying and/or plagiarism to entice job seekers and hope that they click on some adverts. This must be one of the easiest "online businesses" to start in Kenya, right?
As they say, if you get a product/service for free then think again. You are the product.

HydroSTON is a true 'environmental paver' as it treats stormwater by removing heavy metals and hydrocarbons.
HydroSTON has a drainage rate of at least 270 mm per minute. Infiltration rate of pavement system depends on infiltration rate of each component. Component with lowest rate determines overall infiltration rate.
Construction of permeable concrete pavements is similar to that of concrete segmental pavements. However, the aim with permeable pavements is to allow water to infiltrate the pavement structure, while simultaneously ensuring structural stability in terms of road bearing capacity.
Features of Permeable Pavement - HydroSTON:
- Harvests and filters stormwater runoff on site
- Reduces untreated stormwater runoff
- Provides alternatives to above ground water storage
- Takes pressure off existing stormwater systems
- Increases available air and water to trees and landscaped areas
- Improves urban micro-climates
- Replenishes groundwater and aquifers

Operation: Mittelland Canal, Gravenhorst
Date: 21/22nd February 1945 (Wednesday/Thursday)
Unit: 50 Squadron
Type: Lancaster I
Serial: LL741
Code: VN-X
Base: RAF Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire
Location: Helenaveen, Netherlands
Pilot: F/O. Peter Gordon Anderson J/36360 RCAF Age 21. Killed
Fl/Eng: Sgt. Denys William Lewis 1836806 RAFVR Survived, injured - Evaded capture (1)
Nav: P/O. Roy Campbell J/94275 RCAF Age 21. Killed
Air/Bmr: Fl/Sgt. Denis Alphonsus McCauley 1394837 RAFVR Age 22. Killed
W/Op/Air/Gnr: P/O. Ward Rex Southcott J/94334 RCAF Age 21. Killed
Air/Gnr: P/O. Donald Alexander McFayden J/94252 RCAF Age 21. Killed
Air/Gnr: Sgt. Fred Seddon Langton 1043747 RAFVR Age 23. Killed
The crew were posted in from no. 5 Lancaster Finishing School on the 2nd November 1944 and this had been their 16th operation.
Taking off at 17:02 hrs from RAF Skellingthorpe to join some 165 Lancaster and 12 Mosquitoes of 5 group to attempt the breaking of the Mittelland Canal, Gravenhorst (an operation the previous night had to be abandoned due to poor weather conditions) The raid was a success with the reports from crews that the target had been rendered totally unserviceable. 13 Lancasters were lost on the operation with 53 crew losing their lives, 19 taken PoW and 11 evading capture.
Lancaster LL741 carried 14 x 1000 lb bomb load, delivering it at 20:37 hrs from 10.000 ft. when shortly afterwards believed to have been hit by flak. The aircraft continued on their return flight with all engines still running. It is thought then that the aircraft was hit by the cannon fire by Hptm. Heinz Rokker (2) of 2./NJG2 at 21:12 hrs. At about 21:15 hrs when approaching Deurne at 7.000 ft the aircraft caught fire on both sides of the cockpit. The pilot ordered the crew to abandon the aircraft. Sgt. Lewis made his way to the front escape hatch where he saw the air bomber also preparing to bale out. Both these two crew members left the aircraft but it seems that the parachute of Fl/Sgt. McCauley caught fire, with him falling to his death.
During the descent by Sgt. Denys Lewis he lost both his flying boots gloves and both food boxes - he also injured a muscle in his right leg on landing. Not sure of his position and unable to make little progress with his injury he decided to wrap himself in the parachute and try to sleep. In the morning he noticed two soldiers approaching and attracted their attention by waving and blowing his whistle. One of them spoke English (later learning that they were Dutch soldiers) and after establishing his identity they took the sole survivor of the crew to Helmond, from their he returned to England a few days later- rejoining operations in April 1945.
The Squadron lost another crew during this operation, RF138 VN-D Flown by 27 year old F/O. Paul Herbert Hatcher 186516 RAFVR from Shirley, Southampton, England - killed with 5 other crew, the rear gunner taken PoW.
(1) Sgt. Lewis (some publications have his name spelt incorrectly as Laws) lost his brother, F/O. James Edgar Lewis 129357 RAFVR, earlier in the war on the 25th June 1943 whilst serving with 102 Squadron. Commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial as body (with 5 other crew members) not recovered. Halifax II JB834 DY-C Flown by 21 year old Fl/Sgt. James Arthur Marsden 1218435 RAFVR from Great Horton, Yorkshire, England - lost on an operation to Wuppertal. It seems that Denys Lewis sadly passed away in 2012 at Pontypool, South Wales.
(2) This was the 59th claim by the Luftwaffe night fighter ace, Hptm. Heinz Rokker - he survived the war with a total of 65 confirmed victories. Briefly interned by the Allies at war end, released in late 1945. Qualified as a teacher and retired in 1982. (shown right)

Just like an individual's fears can boil over into panic, the subconscious dreads and anxieties of entire communities can reach critical mass and create a state of self-perpetuating panic. It's happened a thousand times in as many places, and it's going to happen again. The occasional mass panic is a part of every society, so I had plenty to choose from. As you may recall from my article about presidential paranormal encounters, I'm a skeptic, so I'll also break down the fears that led to the mass panic to bring you the truth behind the terror.
The War of the Worlds Broadcast
On October 30, 1938, future filmmaker and belligerent pea spokesperson Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre repertory dramatized H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds as a Halloween treat. His approach — framing the action of the novel as simulated news reports — was extremely innovative. It was also quite alarming, as many listeners tuned in without registering that the emergency broadcast was part of the show. Popular accounts have terrified citizens rioting in the streets, barricading their families inside their homes, and even committing suicide, all to avoid vaporization at the spongy hands of Martian invaders.
In fact, later studies indicate that the show drew a relatively small audience, and only a fraction did not grasp the nature of the broadcast. Those that did panic still didn't believe that Martians were assaulting New York; they heard a broadcast about an invasion force and immediately assumed it was the Germans. Since Germany was legitimately about to invade the, uh, world, concerned citizens flooded the newspapers and police stations with calls about the broadcast, but aside from isolated incidents, no one really lost it. Except, of course, for the reporters and police who descended on Welles to castigate him for the mass panic that they assumed had to be gripping the public.
Spring-Heeled Jack
The Ripper wasn't the only Jack stalking the gaslit streets of Victorian London. A blue-skinned, fire-breathing rogue known as Spring-Heeled Jack was said to appear from the shadows, assault young women, then leap over rooftops to escape. He was witnessed and reported on countless times in the London press, and most terrifyingly, his attacks continued intermittently for over sixty years; the first attack occurred in 1837, the last in 1904. How are we to explain a functionally immortal demonic sex fiend who could leap over buildings as if his heels housed springs?
As it turns out, SHJ was the bread and butter of a class of journeyman journalists called penny-a-liners. Back before newspapers had staff writers, freelancers would gin up outlandish takes to fill page space when Parliament wasn't in session. Most crucially, this fraternity of hungry writers often shared stories and resubmitted them in different times and places, making it seem to subsequent generations that Jack had been marauding for decades. Originally, Jack was likely nothing more than another in a long tradition of urban legends about London's street ghosts, dating back to the Hammersmith Ghost of 1804.
The Mad Gasser of Mattoon
Despite the name, this phenomenon didn't start in the bustling metropolis of Mattoon, Illinois. The first reports of strange odors and physical symptoms came from Virginia in the 1930s, but things really took off in the 1940s Midwest. It would always begin the same way: someone would detect a mysteriously sweet odor in their home, then develop nausea. Often it would stop there, but some victims would further develop headaches, fatigue, and weakness. A few folks even reported paralysis and swelling of the throat. Clearly, there was only one explanation: some guy was running around town, pumping poisonous gas into people's houses through open windows, AND YOUR OPEN WINDOW COULD BE NEXT. Nearly thirty separate attacks or sightings were reported, albeit with no fatalities or serious injuries.
Pro tip: if you want to create a mass panic in your municipality, you could do worse than to emulate Mattoon's county health commissioner. This genius called a press conference to say — and I'm quoting — "There is no doubt that a gas maniac exists," but that he wasn't a particularly dangerous gas maniac. He said this, despite an utter lack of physical evidence, despite most of the symptoms reported being plausibly psychosomatic, and despite zero consistency among eyewitness descriptions of the gasser. According to the terrified Mattoonians, the attacks were the work of between one and four people, traveling on foot or in a car, and definitely a man or maybe a woman in drag. Also, Mattoon was downwind from a chemical plant which manufactured several chemicals which could have plausibly induced symptoms. But whatever, definitely the gas maniac.
The Beast of Gévaudan
Unlike every other example of mass panic on this list, there absolutely was something unusual happening in the summer of 1764; something started killing people in the French province of Gévaudan, and it didn't stop for three years. Shepherd children started dying, killed by unusually aggressive wolves. As the casualties mounted, the people of the Gévaudan began to believe that a single, gigantic wolf was responsible for all the attacks, and he became more demonic with each sighting. He gained blazing red eyes and a hyena-like gait, and then his hide started to deflect musket shot. The nascent French news media began to cover the story, and soon the crown was forced to sponsor a series of wolf hunts to halt what was supposedly a supernatural, lycanthropic rampage.
Ultimately, the royal huntsmen killed a large wolf that that claimed was The Beast, and the killings stopped. So, what was The Beast? In all likelihood, it was wolves. Not superwolves, not werewolves, just wolves. The mountainous, inhospitable climate of Gévaudan drove the local wolf packs to turn to humans as prey. No wonder he survived so many gunshot wounds and changed his look so often; only by slowly whittling down the wolf population as a whole could The Beast be slain.
Fear of this nocturnal creature caused mass panic on the Tanzanian island of Pemba back in 1995. Popobawa is an evil spirit that often takes the form of a gigantic black bat and invades homes at night. It stinks of sulfur and causes standard-issue poltergeist havoc, but that's not the worst part. Popobawa, you see, also wants to have sex with your butt. After he finishes his dirty business, he warns you that if you don't immediately tell your friends and family about his backdoor conquest, he will return the next night.
In reality, Popobawa seems linked to political unrest in Tanzania. The people of Pemba have noticed the connection, but their explanation is that Popobawa is a demon summoned by the nation's ruling political party to break the spirits of dissenters. A more prosaic interpretation might be that Popobawa represents a localized type of sleep paralysis, exacerbated by the stresses of impotence in an oppressive regime. After all, an extensive survey of Pemba's hospitals, conducted by Benjamin Radford of MonsterTalk, confirmed that no doctors have treated any Popobawa wounds.
Satanic Ritual Abuse
In 1980, Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder published Michelle Remembers, an account of his recovered memory work with his patient and future wife, Michelle Smith (NOTHING WEIRD THERE). After years and years of hypnosis, Smith recalled that she had been abused as a child by devil-worshipping cultists in her hometown. The book became a bestseller, and the idea spread like wildfire. In California, over 300 children told investigators that their preschool was home to black masses, bestiality, and human sacrifice. Dozens of reputations and livelihoods were destroyed before the real story became clear.
The Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) scare was an especially virulent strain of the larger Satanic Panic which gripped the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Pop cultural fascination with satanic powers interacted with subconscious guilt felt by many Americans over generally declining religiosity. They were therefore primed to believe when parents and social workers came forward with horror stories, despite the fact that the kids were being asked very leading questions. As the dust settled, actual experts came forward to confirm that there were no underground tunnels, a hot air balloon isn't an ideal spot for a black mass, and Pre-K students literally can't survive the kind of abuse that panicked adults imagined for them.

Mezze is an American fine dining restaurant. Despite the elevated cuisine, the atmosphere here is fairly casual, unlike other fine dining restaurants that can feel stuffy and pretentious. Instead, Mezze looks to serve impeccable, beautiful food to guests who can relax and have a good time. The dining room itself is fairly simply decorated, with art from local artists hanging on the walls and a pleasant but simple color scheme for the decor.
Mezze's menu is full of American cuisine in addition to international dishes from Mexico, Morocco and France. Small plates include pomme frites, hummus, eggplant relish and burrata, tabbouleh and a house specialty yellow fin tuna tartare with avocado, English cucumber, pine nuts, apple, mint, chilis and a truffled lime vinaigrette. One of the most popular items is actually a dessert, a decadent chocolate croissant bread pudding with vanilla bean creme chantilly.
Every course was very, very good. Warm, pleasant atmosphere
Our dinner at Mezze was excellent. It always is. They are closing in a couple of weeks and will be missed. For the same quality food in a very casual setting, the owners of Mezze run the Cove on Castro Street in SF. Last time I was there at the Cove, they were smoking their own brisket! Fabulous!!
We had what was likely our last dinner at Mezze Saturday night. Maurice greeted us warmly as we've come to expect. Our server knew our favorite cocktails and served them promptly. The food was reliably tasty (I had the corn soup and the coriander crusted tuna, my companion had a salad and the cioppinno), and the chocolate bread pudding was wonderful. We will miss all of this when Mezze closes in less than a month. We will miss this place which always made us feel at welcome and at home.
I remember many good meals at Mezze, but they were years ago. When my friends and I heard that Mezze was closing next month, we decided to have my birthday dinner there for one last farewell. The food was fine, but the service was awful. We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks, after getting up several times to check on them at the bar and complaining to the owner. They are definitely in short-timer mode there. They are closing next month and the don't care about good service. I also had an empty water glass for at least 45 minutes until I flagged someone down to fill it up. At the same time, they had bus boys who were trying to clear your plate before you finished chewing your last bite. Time for a change at that location.
So sad to see our favorite restaurant go. Thanks to Maurice and Solange and all the staff for so many wonderful years of dining and celebration, right in our neighborhood. You will all be missed!
It's been nearly a decade since I was here last but it was exactly as I remember it...many delicious menu choices with a healthy bent easily done Mediterranean-style.
Very nice food, presentation, lovely restaurant.
Only comment is I would have liked the opportunity to look up to signal the waiter and bussers to come to the table for ordering, taking plates away, each pause during the meal. Well the bussers, maybe not, but they could have let the plates sit just a wee bit longer before whisking them away.
As we were not really lagging and there were few diners that night, it made me feel rushed. You would think we had arrived 45 mins before closing or something. the waiter was really nice, btw so i don't want him to feel bad....just sayin"
we heard Mezze is being sold, which is too bad. This is a solid, great restaurant.
wonderful dining experience, as always, as expected.
the place was unusually quiet that evening, great for us, sad for the establsihment
a personal favorite
We were seated by the kitchen, under a speaker, despite a half-empty restaurant. A server took our drink order. A minute later another server came for our drink order. 15 minutes later still no drinks and no food order yet, the two servers notwithstanding. Then I saw the bartender shake a drink, which arrived as "sangria." It tasted like cheap wine with orange peel, with no other fruit in it. Lamb tagine was mediocre; chicken Caesar was fine. The receipt said $24 for the Caesar when the menu said $18. The manager made me reread the prix-fixe paragraph, which in fact didn't note a price differential, then said he forgot to type $24, and added, "If it's going to bother you, I'll change it to $18." He treated me as if I were stupid and cheap.

There are people who follow religion according to the book. Then there are people like me who break every rule in the book. In fact, I am such a sinner that I have all the 7 deadly sins equally imprinted on my forehead. And boy, am I proud of that! Here are some cool candles which look extremely chic and would set the scene for some steamy love making with your date when you ask him upstairs for some well, coffee, you know!
Material Lust has launched the I Worship Thee.. Candle set which have religious undertones and especially undertones that seem to regale and wallow in sinful joys that are forbidden by religion and the book. The Curious, The Celebrity, The Saviour and The Greedy are the candles that are available in this series. Each of these candles comes with amazing caricatures and also a quote that cynically questions religious themes.
My favourite is The Curious candle, which makes me curious as a cat. The caricature features a lucky one fellating a mysterious being "out of curiosity" perhaps. It even thanks the holy mother for making lust, temptation and sex a sin and for making these things dirty. This is because only dirty things rouse our curiosity. And such dirty things help us remain kinky and burn these candles of lust, curiosity and all the delicious sins.

Absolutly love Covergirl Sensitive Skin Pressed Powder! It provides the perfect amount of flawless coverage, without irritating my skin. Easy to apply, non greasy, and blends perfect. Love this pressed powder!
Covergirl is another company that is my go to for makeup. The pressed power matches my skin tone perfectly and takes a way any kind of oil on my face throughout the day. The compact comes with a mirror which allows for application to be done anywhere. The only problem I have had with this is the pin that holds the mirror to the compact part seems to come out so you have to push it in every now and again other then that it's a great product.
Only powder a girl should buy. I love that there is no scent and my other powders blend smoothly. I have very fair skin tone and the 220 covers my winter tone and summer glow soooo well!!!
Covergirl Sensitive Skin Pressed Powder is very good. I don't really have sensitive skin, so I don't know if it really works okay with sensitive skin. I picked it up more to try it. And as a powder for anybody it worked great.
Obviously it goes on very powdery when too much is used, so just avoid that.
But all around very good inexpensive product.
Covergirl has a great line of products and this pressed powder is no exception to that. I get great coverage from this pressed powder and it goes on very even covering anything I want covered. I even notice that this powder stays on in the rain which is pretty impressive!
Like Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder, I enjoyed this product very much! It wasn't cakey, provided a matte foundation, and stayed on all day! This is a great drugstore brand powder
I've been having trouble finding a pressed powder that is light enough for me, but the shade "ivory" is perfect for me. It is the lightest shade they make, so I don't know what people who are paler than me do, so perhaps they need to expand their line a bit, but it's great for me. I like having a powder available that's specially formulated for sensitive skin, and I love how smoothly this blends with Covergirl's oil control foundation. It doesn't look cakey or thick. I'm in love!

Lions and Tiger Lillies and Bacteria
1.Biodiversity is connected to Ecosystem Health
Every species is either dependent on or depended upon by at least one other species. When one species disappears a strand in the food web is removed.
Species that are critical to the function of an ecosystem is a Keystone species. Ex. Loss of wolves led to explosion of deer population in Illinois
2.Genetic Variety increases the chances that species will survive environmental changes. When populations shrink, genetic diversity decreases.
3.Scientific community continues to find new uses for biological material for food, clothing and medicine
Ex. Clothing made from sustainable crops such as flax,
Taxol an anticancer drug derived from the North American Pacific Yew Tree.
Cultivation of new varieties of Corn-North America, Wheat-Africa, Rice-India
4. Value biodiversity because we enjoy green spaces and undisturbed land.
Ex. Ecoturism- a form of tourism that supports conservation and sustainable development of ecolologically unique area-Tours of the Grand Canyon

Campaigners against the controversial pokies venue planned for Officer have defended the distribution of "graphic" anti-gambling flyers depicting domestic violence and increased crime at the school gate.
Bad Bets Australia has been long protesting against an application for a pub with 80 poker machines at 2 Station Street, Officer. However, its recent use of the confronting pamphlets has drawn criticism from the State Education Minister and Parents Victoria.
Education Minister James Merlino has slammed the distribution of the flyers, which along with the graphic images read "more pokies = more bashed women" and "more pokies = more violent crime", at local schools.
"I do not support the distribution of these pamphlets near schools and the materials should not be shared with children," Mr Merlino said.
The minister's criticism has been echoed by Parents Victoria executive officer Gail McHardy who questioned why schools were chosen as the distribution point when "the campaign pamphlet clearly stated 'don't show this pamphlet to your kids'."
But Bad Bets Australia spokesman Rohan Wenn said it was important parents were aware of the development proposed for a site within 2km of 12 schools, and the impacts it would have on the local community.
The campaign has the support of national leading gambling expert Dr Charles Livingstone, who said while perhaps confronting, the information provided was factual.
A recent survey of 135 Officer residents conducted by Bad Bets Australia revealed 79 per cent were unaware of a study linking gaming machines in a community to higher rates of domestic violence.
"For a long time, people have possibly assumed there may be a link, but we now have a study from the Australian National University that clearly shows more pokies in a suburb means there will be more domestic violence in that suburb," Dr Livingstone said.
Dr Livingstone also pointed to research from the University of South Australia which concluded that poker machines were the second leading cause of crime in the community after the illegal drug trade.
"Just as you wouldn't want a drug dealing setting up in your neighbourhood, you probably shouldn't want a poker machine venue setting up in your suburb also," he said.
Mr Wenn said precautions had been put in place to ensure children weren't exposed to the images.
"The pamphlets are only given to adults, and every parent, or carer, is asked verbally and in writing not to show the images to children," Mr Wenn said.
Mr Wenn queried the backlash from the minister when both sides of government were in "no position to make credible comments about the gambling reform."
"Let's get this straight – James Merlino opposes the distribution of anti-pokies pamphlets near schools, but he doesn't have a problem with putting 80 poker machines within 200 metres of Officer Primary School," Mr Wenn said.
"What does the government worry about more, the pamphlet about the addictive and potentially deadly machine, or the actual machine?"
Mr Merlino did not comment on the content of the flyers, but said there were other ways for children to be taught about potential impacts of gambling.
"We support education about gambling including through the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation's Love the Game School Education Program, which empowers students to challenge the normalisation of gambling," Mr Merlino said.

I have had almost perfect results on Cymblta but I keep zoning out and am almost dazed.
I do have more of an appetite than on Lexapro (which is the only SSRI that didn't have horrible side effects. Only insomnia, decreased appetite, sore muscles, and agitation).
But with being a student, employee, and mom I CANNOT be this unmotivated; which has just started with the Cymblata.
Does the zoned feeling and mild increased hunger ever go away? I'm on day 2 and started at 30mg.
No sure I want to go back to Lexapro, but I am too busy to be blah all day!
SSRI's= horrible except Lexapro 7/10 stars
Wellbutrins=panic attacks, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia, anger

Well, he'd always suspected Kitty was the only sane resident of the
third floor west girls' dormitory.
"Scott --" Jubilee edged closer to him.
Scott ducked around her and strode to the door of his office.
Throwing it open, he stood on the threshold and pointed to the two
chairs placed in front of his desk. "Miss Lee, if we're going to
talk, you're going to address me as Mr. Summers, and you are going to
stay on the other side of my desk. Or I'm outta here."
If it were possible to flounce in a micro-mini-skirt, then Jubilee
could be said to flounce out from behind his desk. She flung herself
down into one of the visitor's chairs and scowled.
Scott found a doorstop and wedged the door to his office wide open.
He walked back inside, rounded his desk and sat down. At least this
one had her legs crossed. Over the years he'd sweated through enough
replays of "Basic Instinct" to turn his brown hair prematurely gray.
Scott had been teaching for four years. It merely felt like four
He said calmly, "Jubilee, I'm your teacher. You're my student. We
have a professional relationship. It's the only relationship we have
or ever will have."
In the space of a heartbeat the girl went from Mata Hari to Shirley
Temple. Tears filled her eyes. She began sniffling. Wordlessly Scott
pushed a box of Kleenex across his desk.
He didn't delude himself into thinking he was out of the woods yet.
He was never in more danger than at this point in the scenario. As
somebody or other (probably another male high school teacher) had
once pointed out, hell had no fury like a woman scorned.
In college they'd taught him the trick to getting out of these
situations with his reputation intact was ensuring that the girls got
out with their dignity intact. It was a bit more than a cold-blooded
survival strategy to him. Many of his older students were streetwise,
jaded kids with a thoroughly fucked-up idea of what constituted
appropriate behavior between men and the women they claimed to love,
between male authority figures and the females over whom they held
power. The girls who lived at the Institute needed a male role model.
They needed a dad. They needed a safe guy to crush on. Scott sighed
soundlessly. Charles Xavier was certainly getting his money's worth
out of the shop teacher.
He switched strategies. "Jubilee, you don't have to put out to get my
attention," he said quietly. Lay on the guilt trip. "That really
hurts my feelings. Do you really think that little of me?"
"Oh!" The girl looked startled. "No!"
"I'm glad to hear that." He paused. "Don't you ever think you've got
nothing to offer a guy but what's between your legs. What makes you
loveable is what's between your ears."
"You think I'm loveable?"
Danger, Will Robinson. "You're smart and funny and kind. I'm glad I
know you. I'm glad you're in my classes. You're going to be a great
girlfriend to some guy. But you have to know that guy can't be me,
Jubes. I'm your teacher."
"But I won't always be a student," she pointed out hopefully.
"No, but I'll always be in love with Dr. Grey."
"Yeah? Well, you sure don't act like it," Jubilee said
skeptically. "You don't even put your arm around her when you're
watching TV."
Scott winced. "I'm not very good about doing things like that," he
admitted quietly. "But I do love Dr. Grey."
"Yeah, right."
Scott drew in a deep breath. Worthington had once called him a robot.
A department store dummy. Jean's Ken doll. He'd dismissed it as sour
grapes from a sore loser.
"You'd act different if you were in love. . . Scott."
"I. . ." He looked away from the invitation plain in the girl's face.
"Yeah? What?" Jubilee coaxed softly. "Tell me."
"I think about her all the time," he said haltingly. "I hate it when
she goes away. I can't sleep when she's not there. I can't wait till
she comes back. I don't know what I'd do if she didn't come back."
He stared down at his desktop.
Eventually Jubilee cleared her throat. "I guess you kind of like her,
"I guess I kind of do."
"Um. You should probably try putting your arm around her when you're
watching TV."
"I probably should."
"Well, um, I think I'll just, you know, go to Brit Lit." She
scrambled out of the chair, snatched up her backpack and fled.
Scott walked around his desk and stood aimlessly in the center of his
office. He decided he needed to fire up his coffeemaker. He felt
From the hallway he heard Jubilee exclaim nervously, "Dr. Grey!"
"Hi, Jubes." He heard Jean greet the girl pleasantly. "Is Mr. Summers
in his office?"
"Oh! Yeah! Yeah, I was just. Yeah." He heard footsteps racing away
down the hardwood floor of the hall.
Jean poked her head around the door and grinned. She said in a stage
whisper, "The cavalry has come over the hill!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, you need to work on your timing, General."
Jean kicked the doorstop away and walked into his office, pulling the
door shut behind her and locking it. "I thought I heard this scream
for help. Something about another Sharon Stone wanna-be." She jerked
her thumb over her shoulder. "Is everything cool?"
"Yeah. Yeah." He sighed. Except that Jubilee would undoubtedly repeat
his innermost thoughts on his relationship to every student of the
Xavier Institute.
Jean walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What's
the matter, Slim?" she murmured. "Don't you want all the girls to
know I've got you whipped?"
"Yeah, but now all the boys'll know too."
"My poor macho baby," she cooed. "By the way, I always suspected you
loved me. Even if you won't put your arm around me in the TV room."
He couldn't laugh. Not yet. He put his hands on her hips and pressed
his forehead to hers and muttered, "I'm a jerk."
"You're my jerk."
"I'd probably bust out crying if you didn't sit next to me in the TV
"Aw, Scooter. I'll always sit next to you. You can even carry my
Reluctantly he started to smile. "You're the telekinetic. You can
damn well carry my books."
"Chivalry is dead." Jean sighed noisily.
"Did I see you lock that door on the way in?"
"Ummm hmmm. Hope you don't mind if I take advantage of you." She
cocked her head to one side and grinned. "I mean, I *am* going to
take advantage of you, it would just be a lot easier if you didn't
He said fiercely, "Anything you want. Any way you want to have me."
Months later it occurred to him that Logan would never have said a
thing like that.

DC Community Conversations Town Hall
September 27, 2017 1:00pm - 3:30pm See Agenda Below
Please join us for a Community Conversation on the Measurement of Civic Engagement at the Local Level
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is supporting a series of projects across the United States that are exploring ways to improve measurement of volunteering and civic engagement activities at the local or neighborhood level; and how to better capture and describe various facets of civic life which may be linked to other important indicators of individual and community wellbeing.
In support of this initiative, the Washington, DC Community Conversations Team – comprised of Guardians of Honor, the George Washington University, Age Friendly DC, and Washington Area Villages Exchange (WAVE) – has recently completed various interviews, observations, community consultations, and focus groups seeking to better understand what "civic engagement" and "volunteerism" mean to older Americans, how they talk about and think about these activities, the mechanisms by which they engage and volunteer, and why they choose to engage in these activities.
Given your expertise and interest in these issues, we hope you will join us Wednesday, September 27, 2017 from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm at the True Reformer Building located at 1200 U Street, NW Washington, DC 20009 to learn about our partners' current initiatives and to contribute to a discussion on the team's findings.

The Washington Area Village Exchange (WAVE) held its Winter Quarterly Meeting on Monday, 11 January 2016, from 9:30 am to 12:00 noon. The meeting was at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda, MD 20814.
WAVE President Miriam Kelty welcomed everyone to the meeting and outlined the agenda for both segments of the WAVE meeting, including the election of WAVE Board members. She thanked Mandy DeBarrs of Help Unlimited for sponsoring the meeting's refreshments and noted that her company's materials were available. Virginia Hodgkinson, WAVE Treasurer, reported that thirty-one villages had paid WAVE dues and thus have one vote during the election of the Board. The guest speaker, Peter Davis, was then introduced.
Peter Davis, "Purpose, Passion, Power Branding"
Mr. Davis opened with the basic premise that branding is no more than telling your story towards leading with a difference towards business strategies. He stated the importance of being guided through the creative investigation of your story and that we need to get "unstuck," i.e. open to change. Davis stressed that you must avoid an ambiguous value proposition, always ready to answer directly "What's in it for me?" or "I'm not ready yet."
Davis shared his handout that lays out strategic and financial reasons that it's important to pay attention to your brand, including that it can outline your entity's core promise using various modalities (website, written materials, etc.) and assuring that your brand is aligned with your promise.
Information from the Business meeting can be found here: WAVE Business Meeting January 11, 2016 (WAVE Board Meeting April 27, 2015 in pdf format)

The design of this place was created by Herbert J. Krapp, who was an honorable architect for almost all Shuberts' spaces. It was a part of a theatre-hotel complex, and only in some years, in 1959 the Theater obtained its new name and its new owner—Jujamcyn Theater Company.
It's at the same time cozy and chic place, which fully belongs to dramatic art. Best performances, amazing sights, incomparable ambiance, a troupe of talented actors—all this make the Eugene O'Neill Theater a worthy reservoir of best theatrical traditions.
Now we know that some of its performances deserved great awards, that proves well a big value of this place.
