Stand in the Rain
5 Reviews[Frerard] He danced in the rain, while the other sat sullenly on the ground beneath a weeping willow. Curiosity lulled each to one another, but what really sealed the friendship was the crashing of...
Hair plastered to his face, the long, straggly strands hanging limply in his face. Skin dampened with the rain, hands concealed behind fingerless gloves, he tilted his head back and let the rain wash across his skin. Cold, spine-tingling, it landed on his neck and ran down his collarbone before sinking into the depths of his clothing.
Shrugging out of the sweat jacket (supporting the Misfits) he threw it onto the grass, jumping forward. Black Doc Martens stained with mud, but he hardly noticed; there was only the rain, his eyelids drooping closed over his soulful green eyes as he twirled.
Far off in the distance, another young boy watched; concealed beneath the long and forgiving branches of a weeping willow, he hugged his knees, seeking solace in the warmth his own body gave off, and the fact that he wasn't dripping wet. He watched the boy with mild interest. He was close enough that he could see details; the glint of a belt buckle, a jacket sprawled haphazardly across the ground, boots clinging to his feet. He cocked his head to the side slightly, biting his lip, watching.
A drop of water slowly fell onto the boy who was hidden, causing him to start; shuddering and flipping the sky off fruitlessly, he turned back to watch the boy as he danced in the rain. Black hair overtop pale skin, complimenting him tremendously. The boy was, honestly, beautiful.
The boy stopped, as if sensing being watched. A smile spread across his face at the boy who was naïve enough as to not enjoy the rain. Taking steps forward, his stride soon became an excited jog, always ready and eager to pull an unsuspecting person into the rain with him.
"Hey," he heard himself say, voice soft and lyrical. The boy looked up at him, squinting his eyes. The dancer was still in the rain; getting drenched, no doubt, just standing there.
Eyes narrowing still, he responded with a simple, "Hi." No need to be overly inviting, even if this mysterious boy was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his entire life.
Truly puzzled, the black-haired boy's lips pulled into a frown of confusion. "Why aren't you enjoying the rain?" he asked with that deep, gentle, calming voice.
Face twisting around the thought of rain, he responded, "It's wet."
A bark of laughter escaped the boy's lips, pale pink lips pulling back into a wide grin that truly brought out his cheekbones. Teeth glinted; shoulders shook as he giggled with sheer mirth. "So it is."
Quiet stillness before, unexpectedly, his wet hand reached out, grabbed the sitting boy by his forearm, and yanked him up. He gave out a startled yelp; trying to shove the boy off of him, but was unsuccessful. He was dragged into the rain, the dancing boy's laughter enough to hypnotize him to do anything.
Rain splashed across his head, leaking down his hairline before finally finding undisturbed skin and running down that. A tear of rain ran from his eye, the streak so visible against his face. A hand rose, wiping angrily at his face, lettering flashing at the dancing boy strangely. He caught what they said; "Halloween."
"Nice tats," he complimented. The boy looked up, slightly shocked, and then a grin pulled his face.
"Thanks," he mumbled, abashed for some unknown reason. Hands shoved into his jean pockets, eyes avoiding the boy. That was, until he blurted out the thing he was avoiding saying; "You're beautiful."
He blinked, but it wasn't the reaction the sheepish boy had expected. Eyes flitted to meet his face, and was surprised to find that he was actually smiling, looking happy with the comment, instead of repulsed as he had originally anticipated.
"You're quite beautiful yourself," he whispered, coming closer. Hands slowly slid from his pockets, down to his sides; he looked into the face he had been studying so quietly from afar. It was so much nicer up close, pale, undisturbed skin stretching kindly across his skull. A round, boyish yet not chubby face, inviting, full lips.
Then, as unexpectedly as their meeting, their lips crashed together. Hands reached out, ready to grip each other's hips, holding tightly, possessively. Mouths worked against one another, kind and engaging. Both begged for more, and they each granted it; mouths parted to grant one another entrance, the chaste kiss deepening, tongues exploring one another.
Pulling away for breath, rain spilled in between the two, the liquid that fell from the sky almost forgotten. The boy from the willow lowered his head and pressed it softly against the other's chest.
"I've always wanted to have my first kiss in the rain."
A hand rose to hold his head, fingers tangling in his hair. "I'm glad I was the lucky one," he whispered, another smile gracing his features as the water slowly dripped across the two.

Over time, skin exposed to too much sun can develop fine lines and deep wrinkles, sun spots, discolouration and moles amongst other changes to the skin. Our specialty skincare products can help reduce the visible signs of environmental aging and prevent further sun damage to the skin.

Good Read via Carnal Ownage
December 8th, 2009
Well I was catching up on my google reader and I ran into this post by Chris Gates/Carnal Ownage, an acquaintance from security cons: http://carnal0wnage.blogspot.com/2009/11/past-present-and-future-of-security-and.html. I agree with a key tenant shown through out these clips: security researchers tend to forget the lessons they learned last year and move onto the next fad (i.e. from virtualization to iPhones)
I know it's not like we can just come up with a security framework, but as Bruce Potter wrote in his article in Security & Privacy this month: "High Times for Trusted Computing" we need to have a better understanding of what is allowed to run on our computer. UAC didn't work. You continue to be able to exploit the browser, so what will we have to do to really have control over what is run on our systems?
Another excellent point FX makes is that the adults and guru's in the security industry need to take more of an interest in training their successors. I agree with this. I teach at a university and I see a lot of student while yea, they didn't grow up building computers, they did learn most of what's important inside one. The difference is that an education in IT is much easily obtained these days, but there's no way that can replace the interest of a 15 year old plugging away in their bedroom with the appeal of controlling some really powerful computers. (Don't get me wrong… I do see some of them) What's the answer to get the kids thinking more like hackers? Nearly everything that's a great learning expereince into how things work from a "what a teenager has access to" is frowned upon these days (modding your iPhone, your XBox — at least Sony encourages some PSP and PS3 modding)
Another point brought up was a perception of the futility of Pen Testing. I feel Pen Testing has it's place, and you need to be a smart cookie to be effective at it. Problem is you have rules of engagement. You can only attack what they want you to. You don't have the ability — like the bad guys — to actually attack anything you want/can. Chris Nickerson does a great job of thinking outside the box on this topic.
I see the next generation of hackers coming from a grass roots movement; a combination of the internet, hackerspaces and similar spaces, and a willingness of adults to take the time to be role models and transfer some of their knowledge over to the next gen of kids getting ready to enter the field. By the time companies realize they need this breed of kid though, it may be already too late… unless we drastically change our security paradigms and ways of thinking to how we compute (TPM?) and how we approach securing ourselves.

Horry CLAP! Either you've got an "asian" Mom, or your Dad hates 'em all! My Grandfather lied about his age and fought in WW1 at age ~12. Did WW2 & Korea too. When my Uncle got drafted to go to 'Nam, G-Pa went down, lied about his age and tried to go with him, but at 60+ he wasn't able to fool 'em this time... They say he went on a month-long bender over that one... Don't get me wrong - the US .mil robbed THEMSELVES on that deal. That old man would have kept up with any 18 year old... 20-odd years later, he fathered my OTHER (half-)uncle at age 83. Last time I saw him he was 92 and I was 16, I said something smart-@$$ and he knocked me out cold. He was splitting wood with an axe at 6-weeks before his 100th birthday when he had a stroke. He missed 100 by 9 days. THAT was a MAN! - they don't make us like those any more...

Am looking forward to these: Purcell to open both, then a Mozart piano concerto (20 and 23), and today the Schubert Great, and on Thursday the Bruckner 7...
Late decision - I'm going ! Really excited about the Schubert in particular as it's not a work
Ive heard BH conduct in the concert hall. His LP of same must be all of 35 years old and never
transferred to CD AFAIK.
Do report back - I envy you! IMO Pires' crystalline articulation & natural musicianship is without compare in works like these (as long as she has a beautiful piano).
(A couple of years ago I heard her play Mozart PC 27 under Haitink as a last minute replacement for Perahia. At her first entry she made it quiite clear that she wanted to get a move on & make it sparkle. BH followed to perfection)
Really wish I could make these but with the Proms more or less imminent finances just won't permit. Perhaps if I bought less CD's...
I recall two previous Haitink Schubert 9's in London (courtesy of R3) both with the BBCSO and the second of them in 1987 coincided with the announcement of Haitink's appointment at the ROH. A great shame his recording of the Schubert 9 has never been issued on CD and that's why I was hoping LSO Live might plug the gap.
I've heard Haitink perform Bruckner 7 so many times in London alone that I'm sure he can conduct it in his sleep. Wish I could have heard this one as well though.
"Every piece of music is a rehearsal of one's life," - Sir Colin Davis
Wow, I'm speechless. It's as if I've heard it all now . . .
No sign of microphones. A vital, witty, exuberant performance of the Great. Beats what we heard from the Berliners a year or two ago into a cocked hat.

Hate Speech
Tue Oct 30 05:43:03 GMT 2012 by Eric Kvaalen
Is it hatred? No, not at all. I see hatred in the continual accusation that religious people "hate" when they have opinions about sin.

How can I add google authorship to my wordpress category pages? I use the 'google author link' plugin which adds it to posts and pages but not categories?
Authorship can't be added to lists of posts, Samuel. It can only be added to individual posts themselves. You're not claiming authorship of sections of your site, just individual pages.
Thanks for your reply. I have content I have written at the top of the list of posts that I want to claim authorship for. So there is no way to do this?

Lauraina Levwood
< BackLauraina Levwood is a Certified Massage Therapist, Birth & Postpartum Doula, and Infant Massage Educator. She studied massage at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, a 1000-hour certification program. Lauraina's training as a doula includes DONA International, Cornerstone Doulas, Birthing From Within and The Farm with Ina May Gaskins. She also holds Bachelor's Degrees in both Dance and Interdisciplinary Philosophy/Creative Writing.
Lauraina has been practicing bodywork since she was a child, when she would massage her father's feet while he lounged in his easy chair. Her young life as a dancer also encouraged her to tap her inner curiosity for bodywork, using touch to heal herself and her dance partners. Massage has always been a natural and integral part of her life and a gift that she has shared with others.
Lauraina's bodywork practice is holistic, drawing from both a technical, western approach as well as from energy work and eastern therapies. She has studied Swedish, Deep Tissue, Orthopedic, Myofascial, Integrative, Ayurvedic, Reiki, Reflexology, Zen Shiatsu, Aromatherapy, the Alexander Technique, and Body-Mind Centering. Lauraina also has a special love for mothers and babies, and specializes in Prenatal, Postpartum, and Infant massage.
It is Lauraina's belief that physical touch and movement encourage health, and that stagnation often covers up or hinders the natural state of health that all of our bodies desire. In her practice she facilitates energy flow through gentle movement and breath in order to clear stagnation, encourage healthy alignment, and call upon each client's unique resonance with healing.
Lauraina weaves her skills as a bodyworker into unique sessions catered to the needs of each individual client. The most important part of her bodywork practice is her intentional focus and deep listening during each session – massage to Lauraina is a technical art, a meditative practice, and a way to pray.

Our most recent foreign sales
Petterson, Per
I RefuseTwo men meet by accident on a bridge one early morning. Once they were best friends – now Tommy and Jim haven't seen each other in 35 years. Such opens Petterson's outstanding new novel, a tale as powerful and moving as anything he has ever written.
morePress quotes
"at least as good as "Out Stealing Horses"; a remarkably good novel; a masterful novel: Intimate, shocking, demanding, raw" Morgenbladet
"A beautiful and sad and compassionate and relentless text ... it confirms Per Petterson's status as one of Norway's very, very best novelists today." Dagbladet

The Elixir of ImmortalityAn epic story chronicling the history of the Spinoza family and the history of Europe.
Already sold to 14 foreign publishers- world English rights included!
Ari Spinoza is the last of the great Spinoza family. On his mother's deathbed he promises to write his family story, to save it from oblivion. The main source to his writing is the memories of all the stories his grand uncle Fernando told him and his twin brother Sasha when they were kids. Another source is a secret book, The Elixir of Immortality, containing the recipe for eternal life, which has been guarded by the family for centuries.

"a horn of plenty filled with wonderful stories, thought-provoking points and concise atmospheric depictions.... If book-club editors were alchemists, then this would have been their 'philosophers' stone'. " Dagens Næringsliv
Lindstrøm, Merethe
Days in the History of SilenceWinner of the Nordic Council's Literary Prize 2012
Winner of The Critic's Award for best novel 2012
An elderly woman thinks about her former housekeeper, a woman her and her husband were close to for a period of time, before abruptly dismissing her. Everyone but she and her husband question what happened. The couple has silently agreed to not discuss their past. While he becomes more and more closed up, she tries to break out of the isolation and silence, for instance by speaking to a priest.
morePress quotes
"With 'Days in the History of Silence' Merethe Lindstrøm has written one of this autumn's best novels. In unobtrusive, elegant and incisive prose, she has produced a drama of everyday life which insinuates itself under the reader's skin. (…) Merethe Lindstrøm is never ostentatious, and she does not use original metaphors, irony or subtext, instead depending completely on the power of her own subdued, explicit prose. There is therefore an insistent seriousness about this novel that does not fail to leave an impression of great credibility and authenticity." Dagsavisen
"Something as rare as an author it is essential to read. (…) One of the real finds of this year's autumn book season." Aftenposten

Why Have Only One Outdoor Game Per Season When We Can Have Six?
Yesterday a report was released that the Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at the Big House will not be the only outdoor game of the 2013-2014 season. Instead, the plan is to start a "stadium series" which will include five more games taking place outdoors during the second half of the season.
Here is the proposed schedule:
• Anaheim Ducks vs. LA Kings at Dodger Stadium, Jan. 25
• New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium, Jan. 26
• New York Islanders vs. New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium, Jan 29
• Pittsburgh Penguins at Chicago Blackhawks, Soldier Field, March 1
• Ottawa Senators at Vancouver Canucks, BC Place, March 2
Rumor is the Devils and Islanders will be the home teams for the games at Yankee Stadium, while no word on who is the home team between the Ducks and Kings. The other two, the home team is obvious due to the location.
The difference between these games and the actual Winter Classic? These games don't get the 24/7 treatment to our knowledge. (If they do, my reaction changes.)

Man charged with manslaughter in connection with Salem house explosion that killed six
FORT EDWARD — A resident of the Salem home that exploded last July, killing six people, has been charged in connection with the fatal blast.
- Steven McComsey, 33, of North Creek pleaded not guilty to six counts of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment, all felonies, Thursday in Washington County Court. A grand jury indicted him on those charges earlier Thursday morning.
McComsey was remanded to Washington County Jail in lieu of $75,000 cash or $250,000 bond pending an Aug. 24 court appearance, Washington County court officials and prosecutors said.
The eight-count indictment accuses McComsey of discharging propane into his 4383 Route 29 home, where seven people lived. Another four people were visiting the home when a spark from a water heater in the home's basement ignited the gas at around noon July 13, 2011, leveling the house.
The indictment followed a 10-month investigation during which police conducted more than 100 interviews, New York State Police said in a statement. A grand jury spent the past four weeks reviewing evidence.
Police had been investigating McComsey's role in discharging the propane since at least February, when his then-attorney, Paul Wein, said investigators were asking questions that insinuated McComsey was a suspect. Wein said at the time "the idea that there was some type of crime in this is absurd."
Wein was not immediately available for comment Thursday and his current involvement in the case was unclear. McComsey was represented in court by Assistant Public Defender Scott Keller, prosecutors said.
The blast killed McComsey's girlfriend, 41-year-old Tammy Palmer, and 16-year-old nephew, Robert Sanford. It also claimed the life of Palmer's son, 19-year-old Lawrence Berg; Berg's 19-year-old girlfriend, Clarissa Lyn Porlier; Darrell Durham, 20; and Durham's 2-month-old daughter, Niah Durham.
Lawrence Berg Sr., who lost several loved ones in the explosion, implied in a brief telephone interview the charges against McComsey were intended to divert attention from the issue at large.
When asked to elaborate, Berg Sr. hung up. Continued...
An attorney representing two of the survivors said in February McComsey was in the basement less than 10 minutes prior to the home exploding to investigate a smell, but told those inside the home to evacuate once he realized it was propane. McComsey was outside the home when it exploded, the attorney has said.
The indictment accuses McComsey of "interfering with emergency response after propane gas was discovered by other individuals in the dwelling."
Washington County District Attorney Kevin Kortright did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The manslaughter charges — the most severe — carry a maximum prison sentence of 15 years. The reckless endangerment charges carry a maximum prison sentence of seven years.
Washington County Judge Kelly McKeighan gave McComsey's attorneys until Aug. 6 to file their motions. Prosecutors have until Aug. 20 to file their response.

This book did not come to me by accident. Actually it came at a time when my eyes needed to be opened just before a very crucial year in my family. Having placed my hand on this book i realise i had a peice of weapon and a force to be reckoned with. My family immediately started experiencing breakthrough in situations that was there for years weighing us down. Having this book in my posession has caused me to be anchored on God's words and fearful about nothing. I recommend this book for every Christian home and for every parent. This is a must have book and a must take on book. May God be praised and may he continue to enrich the Pastor and his own. AMEN.

This is a guest post by a very talented and
inspirational young writer by the name of Simone Devereueawax. I hope you will
enjoy it as much as I did.
It's a shame
that you devote the greater part of your life so that someone
else (that you probably don't even know) can live the life you dream about.
Thanks to you, they have accumulated wealth. Thanks to you, they spend as much
leisure time with their family as they want. Thanks to you, their children's
financial future is set. You budget, pinch pennies, go without, are a slave to
your alarm clock and a bed time and settle while they live a life of time
and financial freedom.
The typical employee
gives about ten to twelve hours a day to a job that pays only enough to make
sure they show up the next day. How many hours a day does your spouse or your
children get from you? No matter how you want to put it, your employer runs your
life. They tell you when to get up, what to wear, when to show up, when to eat,
when you can leave, how much you have to spend each month, how much time you
can spend with your family, what your social calendar can allow and so much
more. The employer has control.
You may think "I make a good living from my job." I beg to differ. Consider all your living
expenses--shelter, transportation, clothing, food and personal care. That's the
company's stipend for working for them. A stipend is what one receives so that
they can be sustained for the sole purpose of completing a task. Where you live
is not for you...the employer has to house workers some way. Back in the day,
companies owned the nearby land and built housing for those who worked for
them. They weren't in the real estate business, they did it because they know
human capital needs housing. Today, they just give you the option of choosing
your own location. Majority of your bills go toward sustaining you to be back
working the next day.
Somewhere in the
history of man, the greater population was conditioned to believe that
it's necessary to perform unpleasant tasks in order to earn money. As children,
we did chores because we were told to and were held against very rigid rules
out of fear. More astonishingly, those who opt to live the life of an employee
are very likely to be engaged in a relationship based in dependency. Growing up
you were dependent on parental figures; today, your employer has taken that
place. The same way you looked to those parental figures to provide for
you--knowing that if you do the assigned tasks you don't like--that they'll
provide a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and a measly allowance
that pales in comparison to what's in their wallets.
When you were a kid,
you couldn't wait to grow up and be liberated from the bondage of someone else
having control over your life. However, the employee has just handed over that
control to the employer. Have you really ever wanted to be free from someone
running your life? Or did you just want to do "grown folks" things,
wash the dishes on your own watch and not be confined to a curfew?
Think about it, growing up was the life for many of us...no major
responsibility, no real concerns about how things were going to get paid...we had
faith that our parents were taking care of us. The employee has simply found a
substitute on which to depend. We trust that the office will be open, that we
have a "steady paycheck" and that those in charge of our newfound
household will make sure everything is alright.
Take a hard look at
your life and you will see that you don't have as much control as you thought
you did. You're not as independent as you'd really like to be. Someone--for
budgetary reasons--has determined how much your time and effort is worth. You
expend so much of yourself each pay period for someone who doesn't even know
your name. The employee is merely a brick in someone else's stairway to the
Is it really possible
to be your own boss, write your way in life and build your own empire of wealth
and time freedom for yourself and your family? YES. People, this is America,
the land of free enterprise, but only a handful of citizens take advantage of
the proven tools and systems that allow them to never again be leveraged for the
success of another. You have the right to enjoy your life on your terms and not
dictated by the demands of your employer. You are able to take your life back.
You can break free from the notions of dependency, compliance and complacency
society has engrained in your mind your entire life. You have a choice.
The employer is living
their dream. Why aren't you? Unless your dream is to help
someone else live a life that's way better than yours will ever be.

Six-year-old child raped, murdered, body dumped in maize plantation in Saboti |
Written by Leonard Wamalwa 2012-07-25 23:48:00 Read 798 Times |
A six-year old child was raped and strangled to death by two men in a village in Saboti division of Trans Nzoia West district Wednesday evening. Area Chief Protus Wechuli confirmed that residents were shocked to find the body of the child in a nearby maize plantation where the perpetrators had accomplished their inhumane act and flew. Speaking to West FM via his mobile phone from the scene of the incident, the chief said that the two men whom he said have been identified had entered the home in the absence of the parents and carried the child to a maize plantation where they took her through the ordeal before killing her. "The incident happened at around 4pm when the body of the child was discovered in the maize field whereby she had been raped and killed," the chief said. The administrator said that the incident that was the first to happen in the area had shocked the residents who have vowed to search for the perpetrators to be brought to book as others swear to lynch them if found. Wechuli said that the two criminals had taken advantage of the absence of the parents from the home to lure the child and hijack her into the maize and execute their heinous act. However he said that all measures have been put in place to track the two criminals identified as Eric Wekesa Kamanda and the other just known by one name Jesse so that they can face the law. At the same time, area councilor Geofrey Khisa has condemned the incident and swore to mobilize residents to stage a manhunt for the two criminals so that they can come face to face with the laws of this country which he said that sometimes delay in administering justice hence leading to the residents taking the law in their hands. |

UPDATED: NStar Says Friday Night for Full Power
More than 1,100 Holliston customers remained in the dark as of Tuesday morning.
UPDATED: As of 4 p.m., NStar updated its "estimated restoration time" to have all Holliston customers back on its power grid to Friday at 10 p.m.
As of 4 p.m., 705 customers were without electricity, or about 12 percent of total power customers in town.
Original article:
For the first time since Irene knocked out power to hundreds of thousands on Sunday, NStar Tuesday release specific figures showing that Holliston still has 1,124 customers without electricity.
That figure, last updated at 9 a.m. Tuesday, meant that 18.8 percent of Holliston's 5,968 customers remained in the dark.
The utility gave 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3 as the "estimated restoration time"--or the point at which 100 percent of the community would be back onto the grid.
"The time given is the worst case scenario," said spokesman Michael Durand.
By comparison, 511 customers in Hopkinton, 547 in Medway and 599 in Ashland remained without power as of 9 a.m.
The utility has said its crews have been working around-the-clock to restore lost service, focusing first on repairs that benefit the largest number of customers. By Tuesday morning, half of the customers across its service territory who had lost power had electricity restored.

There is a tree and telephone pole laying across my street. It has been there since Sunday morning and not a thing has been done.
12:54 pm on Wednesday, August 31, 2011
On Tuesday a reverse call was left at my office regarding the Adams School being open for showers in the evening.
Good intentions but my land line is out @ home, along with my power.
How would I have known if I did not have power at work?
I am sure there are plenty of people that did not get the word.

It's a bit sad and melancholy, but my mom gave the end table to me. I also have a dresser upstairs that she gave me. They both belonged to my grandparents. My parents don't even like the MCM style, but my mom held onto that stuff because it was from grandma/grandpa who both passed about 10 years ago now. So, needless to say, my mom is happy that it's still in the family with someone who appreciates the style.
It kind of opened up a small pocket of information about my grandparents that I never knew. My mom was telling me how when she was growing up they owned an original Saarinen Tulip dining set, George Nelson lights, benches etc. I think it all kind of got "parted out" over the years but it makes me happy to know my grandparents had good taste!

Iran selects 16 sites suitable for nuclear plants
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has selected 16 locations as suitable for new nuclear power plants it intends to build to boost its energy production over the next 15 years, authorities said on Saturday.
The Islamic republic says it needs 20 large-scale plants to meet its growing electricity needs over the next one-and-a-half decades. It currently operates a 1,000-megawat nuclear power plant at Bushehr, a coastal town on the Persian Gulf, and is planning to build a 360-megawatt nuclear power plant in the southwestern town of Darkhovin.
"The whole country has been studied in the past years," said Vice President Fereidoun Abbasi, who also heads Iran's atomic energy organization. "Adequate locations, on the basis of global parameters, were probed and 16 locations at various parts of the country were identified," he said in comments published by the semiofficial ISNA news agency.
