what is the secret?
It sounds like you've already got everything from the right tower. Really, the only reason you need to access the left tower (left when facing them both from the ground) is to easily access the right tower.
Normally what you do is have Raz on the highest point on the tall flagpole with his back to the left tower. Have him jump off back towards the left tower roof and use your PSI Float power to drift down onto the roof. It's tricky to get him to move the way you want, but you can do it. The move is similar to the move you used in the Kid's Cabin area where you were on the netting on the tree up on the hill above the cabins and had to jump backwards to the ledge that led to the cave up on the hill. It's just that this time you are jumping and then quickly hitting PSI Float to drift over to the rooftop.
Once on the left rooftop, kill the Censors waiting for you. I'm not sure what kind of goodies are in the left tower but the stuff you really need is in the right tower.
To get from the left tower to the right tower, you need to jump onto the trapeze/branch/horizontal bar thingie that's between the two towers, build up your momentum by swinging in a complete circle, let go and, again, use PSI FLoat at the highest point of your arc in mid-air to float down onto the right tower's platform. It may take you a couple tries to get the proper PSI Float placement. Goodies await inside the right tower.
You might also try working backwards, which is what it sounds like you may be doing...the only reason you need to go to the left tower is to access the right tower's rooftop. If you're able to get into the right tower at the bottom, I think you can use Levitation Bounce to get up into the upper levels of the right tower. You need to use Pyrokinesis (start a fire) on a couple things in there.

Posted on 05/27/2012 6:01:58 AM PDT by Kaslin
If I were a U.S. citizen I'd vote for Obama for president," said Mariela Castro during her San Francisco conference this week. "I think he is sincere, I think he speaks from the heart." To cheers and applause from the San Franciscan crowd Raul Castros daughter also proclaimed that, what we want is the power of emancipation through socialism."
Interesting choice of terms here this emancipation. To wit, in 1962 the Soviet satrapy overlorded by Marielas family started rationing food to its subjects (in 1958, by the way, Cubans enjoyed the 5rd highest protein consumption in the Western hemisphere.) Under Soviet tutelage Marielas uncle Fidel and his toadies decreed that their subjects daily food intake would henceforth total: 2 ounces of meat, 3 ounces of rice, and 6.5 ounces of starch and 1 ounce of beans.
Interestingly, back in 1842 the Spanish King had royally decreed daily rations of 8 ounces of meat, 4 ounces of rice, and 16 ounces of starch and 4 ounces of beans for all slaves in the Spanish colony of Cuba.
This means, that Cubas literal slaves ate better than Queen Marielas emancipated subjectsif it were left up to her familys regime, that is. Fortunately Cubas Black Market takes up the considerable slack.
Actually the Castroite-Democratic affinity expressed by Mariela this week is an old story. "We'd better hope Kennedy wins this election," Fidel Castro confided to a subaltern in 1960. "If Nixon wins our revolution won't last." The Bay of Pigs boondoggle, where a Democratic President denied vital support to Cuban Freedom-fighters trying to topple Castro found Fidel nodding smugly. A year later the Missile Crisis resolution where JFK pledged the U.S. to protect Cuban Communism, had Castro slapping his knee and high-fiving his Soviet patrons in vindication and glee.
Last year former Democratic president Jimmy Carter thoroughly charmed Marielas father and Uncle in Havana. We greeted each other as old friends, gushed Carter regarding his meeting with Fidel Castro.
In 2002, we received him warmly, reciprocated Castro. Now, I reiterated to him our respect and esteem."
Jimmy Carter was the best of all U.S. Presidents, gushed Raul Castro while seeing his American guest off personally and jovially.
In fact for many prominent Democrats Castros Cuba resembles the very Land of Oz, with Cubans laughing the days awayha-ha-ha! ho-ho-ho! and a couple of tra-la-las! If this sounds hyperbolic heres Conscience of the Democratic Party George Mcgovern after a visit to Cuba in 1975: Everywhere we were surrounded by laughing children who obviously loved Fidel.
Heres the late Frank Mankiewics a lifelong Democratic factotum who served as campaign chairman for Presidential candidate George McGovern, press secretary for Senator Robert Kennedy and as head of NPR from 1977-1983: Mankiewics was greatly impressed by: The enthusiasm and unity of the Cuban people...they are proud of their accomplishments and sing songs about themselves and their country that reflect this self-pride.
And lest we forget, Marielas uncle Fidel ringingly endorsed Obama the first time around, while greatly fearing for the Democratic candidates life. "A profound racism exists in the U.S.," Fidel revealed in an essay dated October 2008. "It's a miracle that the Democratic candidate (Obama) has not suffered the fate of other Americans who dreamed of equality and justice like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King."
For the record: Fidel Castro, forcibly overthrew a black Cuban head of state (Fulgencio Batista) and replaced his government with one where only nine percent of the ruling Stalinist party is black and where the prison population is 80- 90 percent black. He jailed the longest suffering black political prisoner of modern history (Eusebio Penalver who suffered longer in Castro's dungeon's than Nelson Mandela suffered in South Africa's.) He sentenced other blacks (Dr Elias Biscet, Jorge Antunez) to 20 year sentences essentially for quoting Martin Luther King Jr. in a public square.
And Chris Matthews isnt alone in swooning over Obamas charisma, verbal agility and smarts. Fidels leg also tingles:
"(Obama) has a habit of looking at his adversary with serenity and laughing at the verbal gaffes of an opponent who looks blankly into space," continued Castros endorsement, where he also denounced McCain as "a habitual liar, who lacks an ethical code and is an instrument of the "Miami Mafia" (i.e. overwhelmingly Republican Cuban-Americans.)
Castro lamented the "brutal measures the Bush administration had adopted during "the capitalist crisis, of that time, because these "will provoke more inflation, more devaluation and more loss of markets." A McCain victory would be economically disastrous, because, "he was one of the worst students ever at West Point and knew nothing about mathematics, and knows nothing about economic complications."
For the record: Fidel Castro converted a nation with a higher per capita income than half of Europe, the lowest inflation rate in the Western hemisphere, a huge influx of immigrants into one that provoked an exodus of 20 per cent of her population against enormous odds and at the cost of their every possession. And this after Castros fiefdom was lavished with Soviet subsidies that totaled almost ten Marshall Plans (into a nation of 6.5 million.) This economic feat defies not only the laws of economics but seemingly the very laws of physics.
Actually, Castroites have been associates of Obama's associates for decades. "I have been affiliated with the Cuba Council of Churches since the 1980s," boasted Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a sermon on July 16, 2006. "I have several close Cuban friends who work with the Cuba Council of Churches and you have heard me preach about our affiliation and the Black Theology Project's trips to Cuba. The Cuban Council of Churches has been a non-partisan global mission partner for decades. I have worked with them for two decades."
"Non-partisan," Reverend Wright? Not according to Cuban intelligence defector Juan Vives, who from hands-on experience reports that the Cuba Council of Churches is in fact an arm of Cuba's ICAP (Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos) itself an arm of Cuba's DGI, Cuba's secret police, founded and mentored by the KGB and East German STASI. The ICAP's long-time chieftain was Rene Cruz Rodriguez, perhaps one of Reverend Jeremiah Wright's "friends."
Rodriguez' meteoric rise through Cuba's Stalinist bureaucracy was facilitated by his diligence as an early executioner, often beating out Che Guevara and Raul Castro themselves in his zeal to shatter the firing-squad victim's skull with a coup d' grace from his .45. Heres dramatic proof of Rene Cruz Rodriguez' zeal as a Castroite officer.
Emancipation through socialism!
Uh-huh. And when has that ever happened? Socialism has been a massive failure - always.
what we want is the power of emancipation through socialism."
...over my dead body, bitch. She should've been denied entrance to the US. Her blood thirsty Daddy, Uncle and this one statement are plenty of ammo to escort her out on her fat ass.
Of course she would vote for Obama. Where is the surprise in that.
She is a Socialist, so is he
She wants the destruction of the United States so does he.
She probably already has - several times. Check those absentee ballots for a Havana postmark.
" I Would Vote For Obama! Squeals Castros Daughter "
That would be awkward, since she has a visa, so she's here legally...
Castro hated McCain because McCain called him a "damn'd liar", concerning Cuban guards at the "Hanoi Hilton". Castro denied that there were any Cubans in Viet Nam, while McCain was regularly tortured by them.

About 4 years ago, our local radio leftist screamer had a fellow from a world peace mission on, who was charmed on his recent visit to Havana by the lack of commercialism. How quiet and peaceful it was!
Interesting that the cheering San Franciscan crowd gave not a thought to the "quarantined" inmates of Cuban AIDS concentration camps, an example of what "emancipation through socialism" really means.
What she really is saying is that she wants socialism for everyone except herself and the ruling overlords. You notice how these communist never live like pheasants. They always exempt themselves from socialist policies.
You can believe excerpts from this will be played over, and over in Florida by the RNC and OBomney & Company during the coming General Election season. HOPEFULLY!!
Foreign exchange morons. We send them Glover and Spielberg and they reciprocate with Mariel Castro.
Who lives like pheasants??
When America was great this endorsement would have ended a politician's career. The enemies of America within our gates have successfully destroyed the WASP ethic that built this country.
Socialism is marked by it's track record of terrible oppression and poverty. Who do these knuckle draggers think they are kidding? I wonder what politicans are hanging out with the princess of Cuba.
Can we nuke San Francisco yet?
for those who grabbed power by pushing it, socialism has been a smashing success. For those it was supposed to help socilaism has been a cruel joke.
Why don't they ask this POS to explain the Cubans washing ashore in FL? Decades ago they explained it by saying they were turning loose those who opposed the revolution; now the refugees aren't even political opponents. They support Communism, but they can't support their families under it, so they come here (and vote Democrat).
Sounds like a campaign ad that both sides can use" what we want is the power of emancipation through socialism"
Socialism has only killed 100 million people. Let's give it another chance!
For well over a decade I have not considered San Francisco to be part of the United States.
Anyone that thinks of Jimmy Carter as the best US President has to be delusional.
Also anyone who thinks that arrogant, lazy, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is the best US President has to be delusional
It really is like a foreign entity.
So to the communist's daughter, to be free, we must all become slaves.
Sounds like a registered democrat.
Hitler and Stalin were sincere, spoke from the heart. When are these ignorant dolts going to set aside "feelings" as their basis for voting?
Course if her last name wasn't Castro she would be working in the sugar cane field with no chance of going to San Fran.
Pray for America
And likely VP pick, Marko Rubio.
"Interesting that the cheering San Franciscan crowd gave not a thought"
To give a "thought" you have to be able to think. The fact that Nancy Pelosi is still in Congress suggests most in San Francisco are incapable of rational thought.
Commies don't change their stripes!
All communists and socialists are thrilled with Obama, and the communist dictator's daughter is no exception. It's only decent people who want freedom and oppose the occupant of our White House.
Oh, citizenship smitizenship. That's ok, honey, just call the local ACORN aka Dem office and they'll get you registered. No problemo.
If I were a U.S. citizen I'd vote for Obama for president
Why bother with citizenship? Ilegals and dead people vote here all the time.Just tell them you are a democrat and presto you're in.
Of course you'd vote for Barack, Ms. Mariela Castro — one Marxist supports another Marxist — it is that simple.
Well that will go over well like a ton of bricks in South Miami.
Cuba. 1960.

Are you ready to rock? Because I promise you've never heard the grade-school smash Bim-Bam quite like this.
A bunch of wildly eccentric boys by the name of "Netzer" have rockified this traditional Jewish tune, staging it as a campy jam in a classroom using all the available props. Electric riffs are interspersed with footage of clergy reading Torah. Headbanging puppets alternate between fainting and singing, and zombie-inspired hora dancing make this a Shabbat musical trip to an alternate galaxy. Albeit, an uproariously funny one.
The male "virtuosos" are twenty-somethings (one from San Diego) and don Elizabethan wigs of long and curly locks that cause them to appear anachronistic. Altogether subverting the theoretic concept of style, these would-be tenor boys raving away the Sabbath is at once a parody and a pop-song. This is where lunacy meets vaudeville meets techno meets Judaism.
A comment on youtube read, "don't quit your day job, but it was a joyful noise." This one, you really should see for yourself…
Shabbat Shalom Los Angeles!

Skip to comments.Border mayors insist drug violence is not spilling over
Posted on 03/10/2009 6:36:26 AM PDT by laotzu
AUSTIN Mexican drug cartel violence is not spilling into Texas, several frustrated border mayors told a state legislative committee Monday in an effort to dispel public perceptions that their communities are under siege.
For me to believe that our cities are so endangered by all this violence that we need to send the military to the border is a knee-jerk reaction, McAllen Mayor Richard Cortez told the House Border and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
Cortez, mayor for 19 years, said his daughter in San Antonio recently called to express apprehension about his re-election because of fears he might become an assassination target.
That was confirmation that people are getting the wrong information, Cortez said.
Border mayors worry that artificially inflamed fear will result in a demand for military troops, with images of danger and violence leading to reduced commerce. Any military support should be restricted to clerical and support roles that free up more Border Patrol agents and others for front-line duty, they told the committee.
But a disbelieving Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, told the border mayors: I'm at a loss to hear you all say that there's no violence coming over.
Noting that Mexico had recently deployed 5,000 troops to Juarez, across the river from El Paso, Flynn suggested the Mexican military would push the cartels to the Texas side of the border.
It's a violent war, he said.
All of Texas is affected by what happens on the border, said committee Chairwoman Veronica Gonzales, D-McAllen. Last year, Texas exported $62.1 billion worth of goods to Mexico far surpassing the second-biggest exporting state to Mexico, California with $20.5 billion.
That's why we want to hear from you, Gonzales told the mayors.
Demand for illegal drugs in the United States is fueling the drug trade, and various Mexican cartel lords are fighting for staging areas. But that battle is taking place in Mexican communities and not spreading to Texas, the border mayors emphasized.
We have not seen any evidence of violence spilling over, Brownsville Mayor Pat Ahumada said.
He blamed media hype for harming his community economically.
Hidalgo has been spared any kidnappings or murders, Mayor John David Franz said. His community expected as many as 700 square dancers for a weekend event but only 80 showed up after the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory.
There is a cloud of fear hanging over us, he said.
Demand for illegal drugs in the United States is fueling the drug trade
Its not their fault for selling drugs, its our fault for buying them.
Its not their fault for buying and using guns, it our fault for selling them.
There are no sharks here in Amity.
There's been a MSM blackout on the border war. Anyone here seen stats/reports from north of the Rio Grande on violence seepage? I recall reading here that Phoenix now leads the US in kidnappings...
....so those kidnap stories about Arizona are all wrong?
Oh, Phoenix doesn't count because it isn't on the border.
"There are no sharks here in Amity."
That is the best quote on naked self-interest that I have seen.
Great! Let's go for a swim...
Whether the violence is "spilling over" or not, they should build the dang wall. It's a shovel-ready project. Put Americans to work. Guard the border — why is this so difficult?
We're gonna need a bigger boat...
We have not seen any evidence of violence spilling over."
Okey dokey then we can station the NG along a line some 30 miles north of the border and post "No Man's Land" signs. Let the border mayors deal with whatever comes their way. We wouldn't want to interfer with crossings by animal or criminal.
This makes a case for protecting our borders and deporting illegal aliens. Mexico is an enemy nation.
Sgt Schultz.....that's perfect. Har!!
I've not heard Mayor Sanders (the mayor of San Diego) say the violence hasn't spilled across the border. In fact, I'd say just the opposite. We know it has and we have the headless bodies to prove it!
I found it interesting several years ago that what ever small town I stumbled upon during an odyssey, there was one Mexican and one Chinese restaurant. How they found the town unless it was organized was beyond me. In each restaurant there was ONE person who spoke poor English and a bunch of non English speaking, presumably illegal future Democrat voters. The Mx drug cartels explains one aspect, so what's with the Chinese?
With six kilos, you get egg roll.
Anyone just watch Megan Kelly hand Juan Valdez his azz on FNC just now? LOL!
Err, Juan Hernandez, I mean. The other guy picks my coffee beans and bundles up coke.
"Mexican drug cartel violence is not spilling into Texas"
And there were no American's at the Baghdad Airport either.
Yup. A sight to behold...
AuntB has good sources on info concerning Mexico.
"We have not seen any evidence of violence spilling over, Brownsville Mayor Pat Ahumada said."
"He blamed media hype for harming his community economically."
Well Bush kow towed to Mexico, now Obama does and so do all those poor Hispanic American Mayors in the SW because inwardly, they fear for their own lives. Too bad they don't want to protect our citizens from these thugs.
Wonder how the grenade tossed into the Pharr bar got here, alcaldes?
Follow the money ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
I work in the Valley 4 -5 days a month and have been doing this for 3 or 4 years now. I can tell there is no violence spilling over. I don't know where that's coming from or why. It's just not true.
Trying to answer my pings before I go on a very long vacation.

Travel Alert
Bureau of Consular Affairs
This information is current as of today, Tue Mar 10 2009 17:59:57 GMT-0700 (PDT).
February 20, 2009
This Travel Alert updates security information for U.S. citizens traveling and living in Mexico. It supersedes the Travel Alert for Mexico dated October 15, 2008, and expires on August 20, 2009.
While millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including thousands who cross the land border every day for study, tourism or business), violence in the country has increased recently. It is imperative that travelers understand the risks of travel to Mexico, how best to avoid dangerous situations, and whom to contact if one becomes a crime victim. Common-sense precautions such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and drug dealing might occur, can help ensure that travel to Mexico is safe and enjoyable.
Crime and Violence Throughout Mexico
The greatest increase in violence has occurred near the U.S. border. However, U.S. citizens traveling throughout Mexico should exercise caution in unfamiliar areas and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Mexican and foreign bystanders have been injured or killed in violent attacks in cities across the country, demonstrating the heightened risk of violence in public places. In recent years, dozens of U.S. citizens have been kidnapped across Mexico. Many of these cases remain unresolved. U.S. citizens who believe they are being targeted for kidnapping or other crimes should notify Mexican officials and the nearest American consulate or the Embassy as soon as possible, and should consider returning to the United States.
U.S. citizens should make every attempt to travel on main roads during daylight hours, particularly the toll ("cuota") roads, which generally are more secure. Occasionally, the U.S. Embassy and consulates advise their employees as well as private U.S. citizens to avoid certain areas, abstain from driving on certain roads because of dangerous conditions or criminal activity, or recommend driving during daylight hours only. When warranted, U.S. government employees are restricted from traveling to or within parts of Mexico without prior approval from their supervisors. When this happens, the Embassy or the affected consulate will alert the local U.S. citizen Warden network and post the information on their respective websites, indicating the nature of the concern and the expected time period for which the restriction will remain in place. U.S. citizen visitors are encouraged to stay in the well-known tourist areas of the cities. Travelers should leave their itinerary with a friend or family member not traveling with them, avoid traveling alone, and should check with their cellular provider prior to departure to confirm that their cell phone is capable of roaming on GSM or 3G international networks. Do not display expensive-looking jewelry, large amounts of money, or other valuable items.
Violence Along the U.S. - Mexico Border
Mexican drug cartels are engaged in an increasingly violent conflict - both among themselves and with Mexican security services - for control of narcotics trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border. In order to combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed troops in various parts of the country. U.S. citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways.
Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades. Large firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico but most recently in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area. The U.S. Mission in Mexico currently restricts non-essential travel to the state of Durango and all parts of the state of Coahuila south of Mexican Highways 25 and 22 and the Alamos River for U.S. government employees assigned to Mexico. This restriction was implemented in light of the recent increase in assaults, murders, and kidnappings in those two states. The situation in northern Mexico remains fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements cannot be predicted.
A number of areas along the border are experiencing rapid growth in the rates of many types of crime. Robberies, homicides, petty thefts, and carjackings have all increased over the last year across Mexico generally, with notable spikes in Tijuana and northern Baja California. Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana and Nogales are among the cities which have recently experienced public shootouts during daylight hours in shopping centers and other public venues. Criminals have followed and harassed U.S. citizens traveling in their vehicles in border areas including Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, and Tijuana.
The situation in Ciudad Juarez is of special concern. Mexican authorities report that more than 1,800 people have been killed in the city since January 2008. Additionally, this city of 1.6 million people experienced more than 17,000 car thefts and 1,650 carjackings in 2008. U.S. citizens should pay close attention to their surroundings while traveling in Ciudad Juarez, avoid isolated locations during late night and early morning hours, and remain alert to news reports. A recent series of muggings near the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez targeted applicants for U.S. visas. Visa and other service seekers visiting the Consulate are encouraged to make arrangements to pay for those services using a non-cash method.
U.S. citizens are urged to be alert to safety and security concerns when visiting the border region. Criminals are armed with a wide array of sophisticated weapons. In some cases, assailants have worn full or partial police or military uniforms and have used vehicles that resemble police vehicles. While most crime victims are Mexican citizens, the uncertain security situation poses serious risks for U.S. citizens as well. U.S. citizen victims of crime in Mexico are urged to contact the consular section of the nearest U.S. consulate or Embassy for advice and assistance. Contact information is provided at the end of this message.
Demonstrations and Large Public Gatherings
Demonstrations occur frequently throughout Mexico and usually are peaceful. However, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate to violence unexpectedly. Violent demonstrations have resulted in deaths, including that of an American citizen in Oaxaca in 2006. In 2008, a Mexican Independence Day celebration was the target of a violent attack. During demonstrations or law enforcement operations, U.S. citizens are advised to remain in their homes or hotels, avoid large crowds, and avoid the downtown and surrounding areas. Since the timing and routes of scheduled marches and demonstrations are always subject to change, U.S. citizens should monitor local media sources for new developments and exercise extreme caution while within the vicinity of protests. The Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detention and/or deportation. U.S. citizens are therefore advised to avoid participating in demonstrations or other activities that might be deemed political by Mexican authorities. As is always the case in any large gathering, U.S. citizens should remain alert to their surroundings.

An experimental study of the long range behavior of the ground state X1Σ+ g of Sr2 is performed by high resolution spectroscopy of asymptotic vibrational levels and the use of available photoassociation data. Ground state levels as high as v''=60 (outer turning point at 23 Å and 0.1 cm-1 below the asymptote) could be observed by Fourier-transform spectroscopy of fluorescence progressions induced by single frequency laser excitation of the v'=4, J'=9 rovibrational level of the state 21Σ+ u. A precise value of the scattering length for the isotopologue 88Sr2 is derived and transferred to all other isotopic combinations by mass scaling with the given potential. The derived potential together with already published information about the state 21Σ+ u directs to promising optical paths for producing cold molecules in the electronic ground state from an ultracold ensemble of Sr atoms.

Polish heraldry
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Polish heraldry is a branch of heraldry focused on studying the development of coats of arms in the lands of historical Poland (and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), as well as specifically-Polish traits of heraldry. The term is also used to refer to the Polish heraldic system, as opposed to systems used elsewhere, notably in Western Europe. As such, it is an integral part of the history of the szlachta, the nobility of Poland.
Due to the distinct manner in which feudal society evolved in Poland, the heraldic traditions of Poland differ significantly from those in German lands, France or the British Isles.
Unlike the case of Western Europe, in Poland, the szlachta did not emerge exclusively from the feudal class of knights under Chivalry, but stemmed in great part from an earlier Slavic free warrior class. Rulers often hired these warriors to form guard units (Polish Drużyna) and eventually paid them in land. However, much written evidence from the Middle Ages demonstrates how some elements of the Polish nobility did emerge from the ranks of the knightly class under the terms of chivalric law (ius militare).
Only a small number of szlachta families or clans (Polish: Rody) can be traced all the way back to the traditional clan system. Most szlachta, from at least the 12th century, were not related and their unions were mostly voluntary and based on followership and brotherhood rather than kinship.
However, in regards to consanguinity, the matter is far from settled, and the question matters because of historiographical concern to discover the origins of the privileged status by membership in the knights' clan. In the year 1244, Bolesław, Duke of Masovia, identified members of the knights' clan as members of a genealogia:
"I received my good servitors [Raciborz and Albert] from the land of [Great] Poland, and from the clan [genealogia] called Jelito, with my well-disposed knowledge [i.e., consent and encouragement] and the cry [vocitatio], [that is], the godło, [by the name of] Nagody, and I established them in the said land of mine, Masovia, [on the military tenure described elsewhere in the charter]."
The documentation regarding Raciborz and Albert's tenure is the earliest surviving of the use of the clan name and cry defining the honorable status of Polish knights. The names of knightly genealogiae only came to be associated with heraldic devices later in the Middle Ages and in the early modern period. The Polish clan name and cry ritualized the ius militare, i.e., the power to command an army; and they had been used some time before 1244 to define knightly status. (Górecki 1992, pp. 183–185).
According to Polish historian Tadeusz Manteuffel, a clan (ród) consisted of people related by blood and descending from a common ancestor, giving the ród/clan a highly developed sense of solidarity (see gens). The starosta (or starszyna) had judicial and military power over the ród/clan, although this power was often exercised with an assembly of elders. Strongholds called gród were built where a unifying religious cult was powerful, where trials were conducted, and where clans gathered in the face of danger. The opole was the territory occupied by a single tribe. (Manteuffel 1982, p. 44).
Since Poland emerged almost at once as a relatively unified duchy in the 10th century, it was the prince or, later, the King who was considered the patron of all the clans. He granted privileges and land to clan members rather than to clans as such and was allowed, in theory to assign new knights to the clans of his choice. In practice, however, such a means of entering an existing noble clan would require a formal adoption from the bloodline members of a clan. In any event, this route to clan membership was later forbidden. As a result, a stable system of strong and wealthy groups of relatives never developed in Poland, as in Scotland. The Polish clans, perhaps, were much more like the Norse clans, with the result that they were much more unstable than their western counterparts. Historic evidence, however, shows clans even fighting wars one against the other like the famous domestic war between the Nalecz and the Grzymala in Greater Poland of the late 14th century.
Heraldic symbols began to be used in Poland in the 13th century. The generic Polish term for a coat of arms, herb, dates from the early 15th century, originating as a translation of the Czech erb, which in turn came from the German Erbe - heritage.
Under the Union of Horodło (1413), the noble families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were adopted en masse into the various Polish noble clans and began to use Polish coats of arms.
Although the Polish heraldic system evolved under the influence of French and German heraldry, there are many notable differences.
The most striking peculiarity of the system is that a coat of arms does not belong to a single family. A number of unrelated families (sometimes hundreds of them), usually with a number of different family names, may use the same, undifferenced coat of arms, and each coat of arms has its own name. The total number of coats of arms in this system was relatively low – ca. 200 in the late Middle Ages. The same can be also seen in Western Europe, when families of different surnames but sharing clan origin would use similar coats-of-arms, the fleur-de-lis of the many Capetian families being perhaps the best known example.
One side-effect of this unique arrangement was that it became customary to refer to noblemen by both their family name and their coat of arms name (or clan name). For example: Jan Zamoyski herbu Jelita means "Jan Zamoyski of the Jelita coat of arms" (though it is often translated as "of the clan Jelita" or herbu is Latinized de armis). From the 15th to 17th centuries, the formula seems to have been to copy the ancient Roman naming convention: praenomen (or given name), nomen gentile (or Gens/Clan name) and cognomen (surname), following the Renaissence fashion. So we have: Jan Jelita Zamoyski, forming a double-barrelled name (nazwisko złożone, literally "compound name"). Later, the double-barrelled name began to be joined with a hyphen: Jan Jelita-Zamoyski. (See Polish names).
The Polish émigrés of the 19th century sometimes used adaptations of their names according to the Western European (mainly French) style, becoming e.g. Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (Balthus), Jean de Bloch (Jan Gotlib Bloch), or Tamara de Lempicka. Some would also keep the Latin forms of their surnames, as Latin was the official language of the Kingdom of Poland, hence the popularity of Late-Medieval or Early-Modern forms such as "de Zamosc Zamoyski".
A single coat of arms could appear in slightly different versions, typically in different colours, depending on the custom of the family using it. Such variations (odmiany) are still considered as representing the same coat of arms.
One of the most visually striking characteristics of Polish heraldry is the abundance of gules (red) fields. Among the oldest coats of arms in Poland, nearly half use a red background, with blue (azure) coming in a distant second. Nowhere else in Europe is there seen such a strong bias towards a particular colour scheme. It follows however the well-known heraldic custom of all Europe, of the vassals following the colour-scheme of their overlord, which found practical use on the battlefield.
Other typical features used in Polish heraldry include horseshoes, arrows, Maltese crosses, scythes, stars and crescents. There are also many purely geometrical shapes for which a separate set of heraldic terms was invented. It has been suggested that originally all Polish coats of arms were based on such abstract geometrical shapes, but most were gradually "rationalized" into horseshoes, arrows and so on. If this hypothesis is correct, it suggests in turn that Polish heraldry, also unlike western European heraldry, may be at least partly derived from the Tamgas, marks used by Eurasian nomads such as the Sarmatians, Avars and Mongols, to mark property. However, evidence of the origins of the system is scanty, and this hypothesis has been criticized as being part of "Sarmatism" (the Polish tradition of romanticizing their supposed Sarmatian ancestry).[citation needed]
A Polish coat of arms consists of: shield, crest, helm and crown. Mantling became fashionable during the 18th and 19th centuries. Supporters, mottos and compartments normally do not appear, although certain individuals used them, especially in the final stages of the system's development, partly in response to French and German influence. Preserved medieval evidence shows Polish coats-of-arms with mantling and supporters.
Polish coats of arms are divided in the same way as their western counterparts. However, since coats of arms were originally granted to clans rather than to separate families, there was no need to join coats of arms into one when a new branch of a family was formed. Thus Polish escutcheons are rarely parted. There are however a lot of preserved quartered coats-of-arms. These would most often show the arms of the four grandparents of the bearer. Or also the paternal-paternal great-grandmother in the 5th field if the male-line coat-of-arms goes in the heart field.
The tradition of differentiating between the coat of arms proper and a lozenge granted to women did not develop in Poland. Usually men inherited a coat of arms from their fathers (or a member of a clan who had adopted them), while women either inherited a coat from their mothers or adopted the arms of their husbands. The brisure was rarely used. All children would inherit the coat-of-arms of their father.
Heart-shaped shields were mostly used in representations of the coats of arms of royalty. Following the union between Poland and Lithuania, and the creation of the elective monarchy, it became customary to place the coats of Poland and Lithuania diagonally, with the coat of arms of the specific monarch placed centrally on top. Research continues to find out what a "heart-shaped" shield is. Most likely, the coat of Poland was placed on the left-right diagonal (I & IV)and Lithuania on the right-left diagonal (II & III) as evidenced in the shield at the top of this page. The specific monarch crest then being placed in the "heart" position.

In addition to these seven basic tinctures, which were standard in English heraldry and elsewhere in western Europe, many more tinctures were used in Poland and (after the union with Poland) Lithuania, including grey, steel, brunatre, weasel and carnation.[citation needed]

Armorials and Listings of Coats of Arms[edit]
Traditionally coats of arms were published in various listings of szlachta and in armorials, known in Polish as herbarz. Such publications, akin to Almanach de Gotha or Gelre Armorial and descended from the tradition of rolls of arms, appeared in Poland regularly from 15th century onwards. The first such armorial was Insignia seu clenodia incliti Regni Poloniae by Jan Długosz.

Does 'consumer' activism make health policy more democratic? Deakin researchers ask
13 July 2011
Deakin University and a group of international experts have given health policy around the world a thorough examination to assess the democratising role of consumer groups.
In their book Democratizing Health: Consumer Groups in the Policy Process, Dr Hans Lofgren, Professor Evelyne de Leeuw, and Dr Mick Leahy, all of Deakin University, explore the role of consumer groups in the development of policy affecting their members' health and health care.
The book will be launched next Monday (18 July) by Shadow Minister for Health (Victoria), Mr Gavin Jennings, MLC.
"The health sector," Dr Lofgren explains, "makes up a large chunk of the economy in developed countries and is a major employer. For example, in the Barwon South Western region, where three of Deakin University's campuses are located, it is the largest single employer."
"The health policy domain is becoming more crowded as more people want a say including patients and 'consumers'. Such involvement may be referred to as the 'democratization of health', but, as the contributions to this book show, there are considerable differences between national contexts as to what this means," Dr Lofgren explained.
"Across all countries, we can say that it is no longer the case that consumers or patients tacitly accept what they are being told by authorities and the medical profession.
"In Australia there is a plethora of consumer organisations, associations, patients and consumer groups that take on a range of roles from self-help – supporting their members and families of people suffering from disease – to broader roles including the provision of services, representing their constituents in their interactions with the medical profession and lobbying and participation in health policy."
At both State and Federal level , Dr Lofgren added, consumer organisations are invited to nominate people as representatives on boards, committees and consultative structures.
"The rationale for this is that those people who are affected by the policy should have the opportunity to have a say," he said.
"Also it is commonly believed that policy is generally better and more likely to be accepted and effective if consumers' representatives have participated in the policy development."
Dr Lofgren pointed out however that the democratic quality of this involvement is sometimes complex. It is not always the case that groups representing, or advocating on behalf of, patients or consumers are effective in doing so. Co-option into established networks of power and authority potentially compromises the independence of patients and consumers in Australia and elsewhere.
There were also questions about consumer groups' relationships with the pharmaceutical industry.
"It is a murky area," he said.
While the contributors to the book share a commitment to democratising health, their understanding of what that means, and the contexts in which they have to work, differ considerably.
The editors have refrained from applying any measure of democracy to all, and have instead tried to present a profile of the diverse understandings of democracy and contexts of practice to be found in today's world.
In some countries, some of the authors argue, neo-liberal policies and market exchange give health consumers new opportunities. In others they are seriously challenged. The book gives hopeful examples from some areas (Aboriginal health, Malaysia, the People's Health Movement) where patients-turned-consumers democratically engage with health policy.
But the editors are critical of thinking that reduces patients and consumers to mere purchasers of goods and services.
"The problem with this approach to democratizing health is that it reduces democracy to a purchaser's entitlements. But a democracy is not just a group of purchasers but a union of citizens whose entitlements extend to shaping policy, not just to purchaser entitlements."
Further information:
The launch: will take place on Monday 18 July, 11 am, at the Consumers Reforming Health: The Next Wave in Community Engagement in Health Care conference at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), 1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf in central Melbourne.

Historical Traveler Reviews Metropole Hotel Venice
The Perfect Spot
The Metropole boasts a spectacular location combined with exceptional service. Every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. The staff are warm and welcoming. Of all the rooms we enjoyed in Europe, this was the largest. We had a great walk-in closest, sitting area, raised sleeping area and fabulous bathroom completely tiled in mosaic. We also enjoyed the air conditioning - a rare find in parts of Europe! We can't imagine staying in any other hotel in Venice - The Metropole is PERFECT and truly made our visit to Venice unforgettable.
Located along the Riva degli Schiavoni, the hotel had superb views of the lagoon! It was also very convenient because the Piazza San Marco and the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop were just a few minutes walk away. The service was one of the best we've experienced on our trip and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We expected the breakfasts in Venice hotels to be generally mediocre but we were delighted at the Metropole's breakfast spread. It was one of the best hotels of our Italy trip and I highly recommend it.
As romantic as you can get!
My wife and I spent the first leg of our Honeymoon in Venice and were quite pleased with the Metropole. From the moment our water taxi pulled up to the water door, till the moment we left for Florence we were treated like gold. The Lobby and hallways can provide hours of sightseeings itself. It's an antique museum in it's own right! The room was absolutely georgeous, from the canopy bed to the beautiful red cloth wall covering, to the stunning marble bathroom. (The closet in the room also deserves and honorable mention as it was a walk-in. We were dead set on having some nice dinners while in town and had quite a spread of dress clothes that needed hanging up immediately) There was a separate sitting room with a couch and a tv that made the room feel more like home. Overall, the Metropole was a home run and as romantic as I could ever imagine for a honeymoon. We were quite sad to leave and are looking forward to returning.
Tremendous Stay
Venice is incredible. It is unllike any city anywhere. Everything at the Metropole was wonderful with one exception. Our travel package included breakfast, but we found out too late that they billed us for our breakfasts. So be sure to check your bill before you leave. Otherwise, the staff, service, and accomodations, were all top notch. A Super hotel!The walking tour of St. Marks and the Dulce's palace are a must! Also, the free boat ride and tour of the Murano glass factory were great. Some people complain about being pressured to buy, but we already had our hearts set on some gunuine Murano glass, and were very satisfied. As a bonus, Mr. and Mrs. Murano (21st generation to own the factory) rode back to venice with us. What an experience!The canals and small "streets/alleys" are mesmerizing. A gondoliere told us that there are 425 bridges over Venice's canals. It was fun getting lost on those back alleys and stumbling upon incredible stores. restaurants. cafes,churches and other 600 year old architecture. We are definately going back in the very near future.
Ve' nice!
Indeed, very nice, Venice & the Metropole. Kind staff, good service, a romantic atmosphere, great location. Even the food was excellent. And so was the Bar. We will definitely return. I have been to Venice before, at the Londra Palace and the Giorgione, but the Metropole is now my favourite hotel in Venice.
Lived like a king...
Stayed at the Metropole in February 2003. Booked a junior suite and was very impressed. The hotel is very atmospheric, the staff are very helpful and the restaurant was excellent. The breakfast buffet was fresh and substantial. A very memorable stay in a very memorable city. We will be booking a break in Venice again and the Metropole will be one of the highlights of our stay!
Sunshine in Venice
Hotel stay was a delight from start to finish, room was excelent, food very good and staff helpful and friendly at all times Would recommed to anyone
We just returned from Italy, and the highlight of our trip was staying at the Metropole in Venice. In addition to Venice being a wonderful and enchanting city, the Metropole was just over the top. Pulling up to their lobby in a water taxi made you feel like you were royality. The rooms were decorated with care and the service was excellent. We can't wait to go back!
Antiques Showplace
I was there May 1-3 2002. Excellent location close to Plaza San Marco, very clean, elegant operation. The whole hotel is an antique showplace, the lobby, the dining room, and the hallways. Staff treats you as you would be expect to be treated. Enjoyed the everything about the visit except the breakfast. It is adequate for the items you pick up at the buffet and the coffee service is alright, but don't expect to get the advertised orange juice. They just never bring it to you. One other item disturbed me, the breakfast waitress took pains to publicly correct a female member of our party on the proper use of the formal and familar forms of vorrei. I wanted to say something about her rudeness but I was asked not to as it was our last morning there.
All in all I recomend highly.
Memories are Made of This
Two years ago my boyfriend-to-be seduced me by taking me to Venice to stay at the Metropole. And I've never looked back.
The staff were fantastic and attended to our every whim, the hotel was beautiful and the rooms made me feel like a queen. The entire trip was magical from start to finish, and the setting certainly helped. I will never forget those few days, and want to thank the staff (if they're reading) for all they did to help (especially the bell-boy who gave me his last cigarette!). I will certainly be back, and this time I might even treat my man!

North Koreans Working in Libya Have Been Banished From Their Homeland Forever
Best banishment ever?
Apparently, North Korean media has yet to report the news of Muammar Qaddafi's downfall, and Kim Jong Il doesn't want the 200 North Koreans who had been working in Libya to return home and tell everyone that it's possible to, you know, overthrow dictators. So now those 200 North Koreans have been banned from ever coming back. Which is amazing news for them, obviously. That's like being banned from Maynard's pawn-shop rape dungeon in Pulp Fiction. We don't know why that's the first thing we thought of, but we're going with it.

Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System
What is it'
The Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS) is the Army's way of accounting for personnel and families after catastrophes. It is a web-based, user-friendly system that enables the Army to collect accurate and timely reports in times of emergency. All Soldiers, civilians, family members and overseas defense contractors must report their status and whereabouts following any natural or man-made disaster, if directed to do so by the Secretary of Defense.
What has the Army done'
DOD mandated that each of the services procure an automated accountability system after the difficulties accounting for personnel during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. To comply, the Army established ADPAAS in 2008 and it is populated with personnel information from both the active- and reserve-components. It is modeled on the Navy's system, which was used with great success to account for Navy personnel during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. ADPAAS was first put to use after Hurricane Ike in September 2008 and successfully accounted for over 24,000 people. It has also been tested through exercises, including an Army headquarters exercise.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future'
Beginning calendar year 2009, ADPAAS is the only way the Army will accept status reports from Soldiers, civilians, families and overseas defense contractors following a disaster. The ADPAAS team is visiting installations this year to answer questions about the system and provide training on how ADPAAS should be used. All Army personnel and families are urged to visit the ADPAAS Web site to become familiar with how the site works. The Army can only ensure accurate and timely accountability of its Soldiers, civilians, families and contractors if everyone knows how to use the system before disaster strikes.
Why is this important to the Army'
ADPAAS enables commanders to identify those in their command that have been affected by a disaster through consolidation of reports submitted by Soldiers, civilians, families and defense contractors via the Internet and phone. In the future, ADPAAS will allow individual personnel affected by a catastrophe to request assistance and provide leader visibility on those requests.
