Description of Course:
The work of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) has exerted a peculiar influence over the cultural-intellectual life of both Europe and America over the past century. Few continental philosophers are as widely known--and few have affected the interpretation of politics and aesthetics as powerfully as Nietzsche. And yet despite all of this attention and engagement no consensus has emerged over whether his works should be embraced or shunned. On the contrary, Nietzsche continues to provoke controversy and conflict. Among political philosophers he is still appropriated by those on the left as well as on the right. Among gender theorists he is attacked as a reactionary and sometimes praised as a kind of proto-feminist. Among cultural critics his works get read as high modernist tracts and/or as postmodern puzzles. I would like to read him in his own context this semester and try to help us come to our own decisions about his work by focusing on the texts themselves.
We will begin our semester by reading some short essays from his early work on "The Greek State," "Homer on Competition" and "On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense." We will then turn to a reading of his major texts--Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Genealogy of Morality, The Will to Power, and Twilight of the Idols. By reading a variety of texts from a twenty-year period I want both to provide an overview of his thoughtpath and establish a hermeneutic context within which to develop a theory of literary authorship.
Required Texts:
The Nietzsche Reader, ed. K. Ansell -Pearson
The Will to Power
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Hollingdale translation)
Philosophy and Truth
Course Requirements/Evaluation Criteria:
Course requirements include TWO ESSAYS –the first 5pp. essay (30%) the second 8-10 pp. essay (60%). Classroom participation will constitute 10% of the grade (based on quality of insight) and ATTENDANCE.

I felt like I was meant to share this with you all because it will be exactly what one of you needs to hear today to see something change in your life!
Recently I've been having waves of fear and anxiety attacks that have been lasting for days on end.
In the midst of this I've been struggling to find the hope for my life. Thoughts have been running through my head, leading me on deep rabbit trails to feelings of isolation, despair and disconnectedness from God.
I find myself thinking "I don't want to feel like this but I can't seem to shake these thoughts and feelings."
I mean seriously who wants to live a life full of crippling fear and anxiety? Not me!
But how did I get to this point? How did these attacks start happening? How did these thoughts and feelings find a home in my heart and mind? And most importantly how do I get free?
God's been showing me one of the keys to freedom, which is quite simply "Take every thought captive".
I read a quote the other day that said: "Thoughts are like birds, we can't stop them flying past our head, but we can stop them from building their nests in our hair"
We can't stop thoughts popping up in our head, but we don't have to let them build a home up in there!
In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Paul says that we have the power and authority to take every thought captive for Christ.
I don't know about you, but when I get a thought in my head it's so easy to just accept it as a valid thought and allow it a place in my mind. But these thoughts actually take us on a journey!
Go with this picture! Every thought is like a train. Trains come and go just like thoughts but as soon as you accept a certain thought, it's as if you step onto that train and allow it to take you to its end destination.
This is how we end up in destination cities of hopelessness, stress, anxiety, fear, addiction and many more. These cities are called strongholds.
YOU can take every thought captive, this means don't get on that train. Don't allow that thought to nest in your hair. By doing this we stop strongholds taking root in our lives that affect and control the way we live
The good news is that God can easily move us to the place he intended us to live in. Surrounded by peace, love, and relationship.
He says:
"But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
God has been transforming my mind and showing me those thoughts that are good and from Him and those that I shouldn't even touch with a barge pole.
I don't know where you're at spiritually or emotionally, but if any of this relates to you, if you've had fear and anxiety as a companion for a while or anything else. This is for you. God does not leave you in that place. His heart is for you to be free. And I declare in His MIGHTY name a release from all those things!
God has promised He will never let us face something that we don't have the strength to overcome. And at the end of every test there is a testimony.
Goodbye fear and anxiety hello FREEDOM & LIFE!
Verses for you:
"Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7
Psalm 91 just read it over and over.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 I like the message version
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Psalm 34:4-10, 15, 17-20
"I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken."

The United Arab Emirates, or simply "UAE", is an Islamic country located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula, close to neighboring Oman and Saudi Arabia. According to statistics, by 2013, the country's total population was already at 9.2 million comprising 1.4 million Emirati nationals and 7.8 million expatriates.
The federation of the seven emirates, namely Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain, took place in December 1971. Abu Dhabi serves as the capital, and each emirate is governed by an absolute monarch who forms part of the Federal Supreme Council which, in turn, selects a monarch to lead as the President of the United Arab Emirates. While Arabic is the official language, English is widely used due to the large number of expat workers.
While the UAE's oil and natural gas reserves are among the largest in the world, the country is also globally known for its bustling commercial, industrial, retail, tourism, aviation and real estate sectors. After the Global Financial Crisis of 2009, the country successfully bounced back from the recession with a number of large-scale projects, adding to a host of already impressive real estate and infrastructure developments like the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Metro, Masdar City, Palm Jumeirah and many others.
With the UAE's impressive accomplishments and Dubai's successful bid to host Expo 2020, the country has attracted a lot of investors, businessmen, and talent from all corners of the globe. So it comes as no surprise, then, that the UAE real estate industry, among other things, continues to thrive and stabilize, with consistently healthy demand for residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Max Ginsburg
Max Ginsburg's paintings are in many museums and private collections throughout the country, including The Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, OH), The New Britain Museum of American Art (New Britain, CT), The Museum of Illustration at The Society of Illustrators (New York City), The Hospital Workers Union 1199 (New York City), as well as other public institutions. He has been exhibiting his fine art since 1953, but from 1980 through 2004 he primarily painted illustrations commissioned by major publishing companies.
Ginsburg has been a sought-after instructor for more than 50 years. From 1960 through 1982 he taught at The High School of Art & Design; from 1984 through 2004 Ginsburg was an instructor at The School of Visual Arts; and from 2008 through the present he has taught at The Art Students League of New York (all in New York City). He has given many workshops around the United States and abroad.
Ginsburg studied at The High School of Music & Art (1945-1949); Syracuse University (1949-1953; B.F.A.); and The City College of New York (1960-1963; M.A.). However, he did not develop his skills a realist painter at these schools but rather by studying the Old Masters and seeing his father, the professional portraitist Abraham Ginsburg, paint. Ginsburg has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and has been the recipient of many medals and honors throughout his lifetime. In 2011, Ginsburg published the book Max Ginsburg: Retrospective.
Ginsburg is represented by Cavalier Galleries, Dacia Gallery, and Gallery Henoch (all in New York City).

Abstract: B8.00005 : Higgs transitions of spin ice
Preview Abstract Abstract
Stephen Powell
(University of Maryland, College Park)
Spin ice is a frustrated magnetic material displaying a variety of interesting phenomena. At low temperature, it exhibits a ``Coulomb phase'', in which there is no magnetic order and correlations have power-law forms at long distances. In this talk, I will describe the effects of applying perturbations that favor ordered states and show that the resulting phase transitions cannot be described by the standard Landau paradigm. They are instead naturally viewed as Higgs transitions of an emergent gauge theory; this perspective leads to long-wavelength theories for the critical properties. I will present specific examples of transitions described by this approach that result from perturbations such as an applied magnetic field or additional spin--spin interactions.

Hoddles help to aid Cookes Drogs
With the Super Hoops marching on in Europe, attention falls this evening on the North East Derby at Oriel Park in the FAI Cup. Dundalk and their noisy fans will lay claim to being the big team in the league but tonight see's Ian Foster's men looking to win another cup and challenge Rovers as they did in the 1980's. However in the Drogs Dugout a helping hand from another 80's legend, Glenn Hoddle, may just give Mick Cooke's side the edge.
Having clashed in the League (77), League Cup (26), Shield (12), Leinster Cup (11), City Cup (4), President's Cup (3) and Tyler Cup (1), this will be the ninth meeting in the FAI Cup (sixth tie).
Drogheda United FC manager Cooke is looking forward to "the real derby" for the fourth time from the dugout having experienced it in his playing days with the Boynesiders. Cooke, who spent time at Drogheda in the 1970s, was speaking to LMFM ahead this weekend's Louth Derby against Dundalk, who he is well used to tackling after spending eight years as manager of Monaghan United.
His only previous FAI Cup encounter with the Lilywhites ended in a 7-1 defeat for Monaghan in 2005, though just last August he knocked Ian Foster's side out at the semi-final stage of the League Cup. And after enjoying the three Louth Derbies so far this year following his switch to Drogheda in February, Cooke is looking forward to another "classic encounter". "The only derby Monaghan had was Dundalk coming and they were great nights," Cooke told LMFM. "But this is the real derby. I was involved in it as a player and now as a manager. They're wonderful nights and the three games we've had already have been a great spectacle for football.
"The three games between us this year have been fantastic games," the 60-year-old, who celebrated his birthday last Sunday week, added. "You expect local derbies to be a bit over the top but I think the three games have been classic football games. I think the teams have wanted to win the games more than be beaten, and I think that certainly showed last Friday week, where it was probably the best game of the season so far. I think (the cup game) will be a bit different; obviously, it's a once-off game. The cup always brings a different variety of football to it. I imagine both teams will be more cautious, obviously there's a quarter-final place at stake and I'm sure Dundalk will treat it more cautiously as well. But I think it will be a good game."
Cooke will be without ex-Dundalk youngster Colly O'Brien, Peter McMahon, who trained at Oriel Park during the summer, and Jack Flynn. However, captain Dave Rogers, who was a Lilywhite for part of the 2009 season, will be available as his automatic suspension, which follows his red card against Saint Patrick's Athletic last Friday, will apply in the next league fixture. Rogers scored from the spot in the last Louth Derby on 12 August. But Cooke insisted: "Irrespective of who you have on the park, it will be 11 against 11, so it's up to the 11 that take the field on the night to do the job. I think my players will perform to the best of their ability, and if the games are half as good as the previous three, it certainly will be another classic encounter."
Cooke also believes that should his side pass the challenge of Dundalk that they can go all the way, despite sitting above only Galway United in the Premier Division. "Of course they can," he said when asked if one of the league's lower lights can achieve cup glory. "Certainly there is always a surprise team every year in the cup, even in England where you see the likes of the Brightons were getting to cup finals. There's no reason why we can't get to the cup final. But, as I say, next Friday will be big. It's a local derby which brings more excitement to the cup, and if we can perform the way we have done – apart from last Friday night of course – we will be a match for Dundalk and hopefully we can go through to the quarter-finals."
Drogheda's three-match unbeaten run came to a crashing halt last weekend when they fell to a 4-0 defeat by St. Pat's at Richmond Park, with Cooke unhappy at how his players' heads dropped after a second-minute strike from ex-Dundalk winger Derek Doyle. "I think in particular the last five games, we have been excellent in our performances," he said. "You're always worried about when the comedown will happen, and unfortunately it happened on Friday. To concede the goal after two minutes, I think the heads just dropped far too quickly for my liking and it was an uphill battle after that." But, overall, he is happy with how his side have picked up in recent weeks.
"I felt when I took the job originally, people questioned my sanity with the position Drogheda were in," he said. "But I felt once I got to the transfer window within distance of the teams in the lower half of the league I would be quite comfortable. I think the players that I have brought in have showed that we're a capable match for any team now. Fortunately, we were ahead of Galway. My aim now is obviously to try to catch UCD. But obviously first and foremost is next Friday's game against Dundalk." One of his new recruits that has caught the eye is midfielder Lee Lynch, who got his first taste of the Louth Derby earlier this month
"He was released by West Bromwich Albion and went to play in the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain," Cooke explained on how he captured the 19-year-old. "A friend of mine down there saw him playing and asked me would I be interested, so I took him along, he trained for a week and on the back of that I signed him. I think he has been a breath of fresh air to the team and his performances have shown so far that I think he's capable of probably going back across the water. I'd be hopeful of keeping him now until the end of the season."
Dundalk FC central defender Colin Hawkins has admitted that his side have suffered a "big blow" to their top-four aspirations after their fourth successive draw as they were held at home by Bray Wanderers on Friday evening. The 34-year-old, who got through 90 minutes for the first time since a 2-2 draw at Shamrock Rovers on 21 June, is happy that the Lilywhites' have put together a six-match unbeaten run, but he admitted that five draws in that sequence was "getting them nowhere" as they lost further ground on Saint Patrick's Athletic. And Hawkins is looking forward to putting the league to one side next weekend as he targets a very first FAI Cup medal come November
"I wouldn't write off anything because we've still got to play everyone once," Colin told dundalkfc.com after Friday's match when asked if fourth was now out of reach. "We still have a whole series of games and we have the players – players are coming back from injury now – so we can go on a run. We're always saying it. We're drawing too many games. One point is no good to you – you're better off losing the odd game and winning one. We're drawing every game and one point gets you nowhere. We're just pretty much standing still in the league, and we're better than that. We have just got to kick on as a group now and we have got to go into the last series and pick up as many points as we can, and see how high it can take us. The last few games have been a big blow for us and our target.
"We had to get three points," he added, as he reflected on what might have been after Dundalk spurned a number of first-half openings against the Seagulls. "It's a massive blow to us. The last two games, Drogheda and Bray, you should be really picking up six points against teams below us. We dominated the game. The first half, we were excellent I thought. The second half, we dropped off them a little bit. Overall, I thought we deserved the win, but two sloppy goals, from two throw-ins, it's not good enough. (Their first goal) was an absolute killer, a sucker-punch. There are ten seconds left – we have got to see the game out. We have got to be more professional than that. Carl (McHugh) did well and put the ball out of play, and then we were a little bit sloppy in possession, a simple cross in and Danny O'Connor flicked it on.
"I think it's probably the second chance they had in the whole first half, so to come in 1-1, we were gutted," the Galway-born defender continued. "We started the second half and went at them again and had chances. We should have been three or four up (at half-time); Nathan (Murphy) had a great chance, Quigs (Mark Quigley) had a great chance that he'd normally put away and Griff (Mark Griffin). We have got to take those chances. But then, we have got to be more professional at the back and stop conceding sloppy goals. It has been a theme for the whole season. It has got to stop quickly." On a personal note for Hawkins, it was a welcome relief to get through the game, after his return in Derry on 22 July lasted just 15 minutes. "I'm delighted to be back out on the pitch," he said. "I have been very, very frustrated watching in the stand.
"It's good to be back out there," the four-time Premier Division winner added. "I have only a couple of days' training under my belt, so it was a little bit sluggish and the sharpness isn't there, but I'll come on for this 90 minutes and roll into next Friday, which is our season, pretty much, up in Drogheda. It's a massive, massive game. It will be built up all week and we've just got to prepare properly and dust ourselves down and go again. It's a massive opportunity for us in the cup and we have got to be right for it." Commenting on the six-match unbeaten run, Colin said: "It's good because it shows that there is no team better than us. There is nobody out there that plays us off the park. A lot of those draws are games that we definitely should have won – they're not games we were lucky to get a point in. But we have got to turn those one points into three points qu
"(Drogheda) is a totally different ball game," he added. "A cup game, anything can happen, and a Louth Derby, it's going to be a great atmosphere. Hopefully, we get a big following up there. We'll be well up for it because we've always said that we're a cup team, because on our day we know we can beat anybody in the country. But we have got to show it. It's not going to be a pretty game. It's going to be helter-skelter. It's going to be a tough game, so we have got to be right for that and get focussed all week. I'm sure Darius (Kierans) and the Gaffer will work hard with us all week and we'll go up there with a game plan. We have got to come out of there in the next round of the cup." Having looked defensively sound since the introduction of Carl McHugh last month, Dundalk have now shipped four goals in two games, something which understandably concerns Hawkins.
"Everyone keeps pointing out that we're an attacking side," Colin said, "which we are. But it's not the back four, it's not the 'keeper, it's the whole team. We have got to have this mentality of not conceding goals. The first half (against Bray), we should have been three or four up and then the last second we concede a terrible goal. You'll go nowhere in the game if we keep doing that. We have got to learn from it and we have got to learn from it quickly." Hawkins did, however, give Bray credit. "They worked really hard," he said. "They came with a game plan, had pretty much one up front and made it difficult for us. But I thought we moved the ball superbly well, we played out from the back and I'm sure it was lovely to watch. I'm sure the fans enjoyed the first half, bar the last second, where it's killed us. We've come in, instead of being 1-0 and being confident going into the second half, it knocked us on our heels a little bit. But, hopefully, we'll keep trying to play attractive football and the fans will enjoy watching it."

Consider writing about a recent trip of your own in itinerary format, just like this. It's a fun exercise that can enliven your journal or scrapbook.
I've personally experienced Bryce Canyon and loved every minute of it, but our plans didn't follow the outline above. And unfortunately, I did not know at the time that Bryce is one of only three International Dark Skies parks in the U.S., so I don't think I bothered to really look up after dark. Ever since writing this email, I've been desperate to return to the land of the hoodoos for some out-of-this-world stargazing. Maybe this fall.

Soldiers, War, Knowledge, and Citizenship: German-American Essays on Civil-Military Relations
Professors Donald Abenheim and Carolyn Halladay have published essays on German-American civil-military relations, an anthology at the center of which is the "citizen in uniform" and concern for this institution. The individual contributions analyze from different perspectives (especially focusing on the problem of tradition), which are challenged by this culture and a corresponding soldierly self-understanding on both sides of the Atlantic. They show how both are harmed under the conditions of the "new wars" of the last decades, with their considerable internal political repercussions—to the detriment of democracy as a whole.
Anatomy of Post-Communist European Defense Institutions
Dr. Thomas-Durell Young delves into the state of defense institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, whose resources have declined at a faster rate than their Western neighbors due to social and fiscal circumstances at home and shifting international attitudes. He documents the status of reform of these armed forces and the role that Western nations have played since the Cold War and identifies barriers to success, the most successful management practices in both Western and Eastern capitals.
Taliban Narratives: The Use and Power of Stories in the Afghanistan Conflict
Why has the Taliban been so much more effective in presenting messages that resonate with the Afghan population than the United States, the Afghan government and their allies? This book, based on years of field research and the assessment of hundreds of original source materials, examines the information operations and related narratives of Afghan insurgents, especially the Afghan Taliban, and investigates how the Taliban has won the information war.
Strategic Cyber Deterrence: The Active Cyber Defense Option
This book by Scott Jasper offers a systematic analysis of the various existing strategic cyber deterrence options and introduces the alternative strategy of active cyber defense. It examines the array of malicious actors operating in the domain, their methods of attack, and their motivations. It also provides answers on what is being done, and what could be done, by the government and industry to convince malicious actors that their attacks will not succeed and that risk of repercussions exists.
Handbook of Transitions to Energy and Climate Security
This book by Prof Robert Looney discusses the transformation of the energy security policy arena brought on by two dramatic developments—the increased potential availability of energy in many parts of the world on the supply side, and on the demand side, increasing concerns over the harmful effects on the environment brought on by the use of fossil fuels. It focuses on energy security means to different countries and examines which of those countries appear to be managing their energy/climate transitions successfully and which are having a more difficultly.

Why is Copywriting Important?
According to Wikipedia: "Copywriting is the use of words and ideas to promote a person, business, opinion or idea." Copywriting is one of the most important elements in marketing. Imagine if you were shown a picture of a product that you were interested in buying but not provided any details about it. Or if the copy associated with a product or service you were interested in was poorly written, sure a picture is worth a thousand words but it is ultimately the copy that sells a product or service.
The copy on a website or printed piece acts like a sales person. It helps inform your customers of your product or service, establishes trust, and helps persuade people to take action. Effective copywriting immediately sets your target audience at peace. If your website or printed marketing material doesn't consist of strong copy, chances are you're losing out on potential customers.

Club de Golf Ifach Costa Blanca Details – Video
Golf courses, like people who golf, come in all shapes and sizes, and even personalities. Some courses are built with difficulty in mind, to challenge the skill of dedicated pros, some are built with the enjoyment of casual golfers in mind, inviting the non-pro to exercise his or her skills without being intimidated. For many travelers, whether on business or purely for pleasure, proximity to a good golf course is one of the major criteria when deciding on a hotel or other accommodation.

Boston Rob Cashing His $1.1 million Cheque
Jeff Prosbt tweeted this photo of Boston Rob cashing his $1.1 million cheque. I am sure he must have also received an appearance fee as well to lure him back to go on Survivor.
Here is a brilliant interview with Boston Rob on Reality TV world. He covers a lot of topics including his strategy for the game. Also it was revealed that Julie the fire fighter is 35 years of age. I thought she was about fifty!
Also I bow down to Reality Blurred on this brilliant recap of the last episode and reunion.
I could not stop laughing at this part:
Matt was on Redemption Island for 29 days, winning 10 duels, but didn't win the (second) one he really needed to win. His attitude changed from the time when he almost quit, though he still said that "God deserves all the glory and all the credit." Great, now shut up. Forgetting the content of what he's saying for a second, it's obnoxious because he just keeps repeating the same thing over and over and over again.
By the way, while he was still on the island, Phillip referenced conversations with his great great grandfather, telling us, "I learned that it's okay to tell the world that I have a relationship with someone who's been dead since 1870." Matt has a relationship with someone who's been dead for 2,011 years, so I think he wins that duel.
Also Reality Blurred has a great article where crazy special agent Phillip talks about his alleged strategy.
Reality Blurred sums it up nicely about Phillips game plan:
"I decided to create this bigger-than-life character so that Rob would have someone to point the finger at. As long as he had someone to point at and as long as I took ownership of that role, he wasn't going to eliminate me out of the game," Phillip told TV Guide. "The more time went on, the more critical it was that there was someone who was going to do something that was over-the-top, bigger-than-life. I think I made a brilliant move in coming up with that idea for myself and playing this guy."
Phillip said he did that because working around camp and being helpful "wasn't getting me anywhere being the man that I normally am in my everyday life." While Phillip said that Rob "understood me and stayed true to me," he avoids answering a direct question about whether Rob knew that Phillip was faking.
Ultimately, this sounds like revisionist history. I think Phillip is probably a normal guy with some issues—and who doesn't have issues—who was affected by the physical and emotional toll of the game. Because he's not dumb, he eventually realized that this was working in his favor, and then maybe played it up a little bit, which is probably about the time we heard him saying that he'd surprise people. The consequence of that is obvious: He can conceal his less-than-desirable behavior in the cloak of a character. But I suspect most of his actions were genuine but atypical responses to an atypical situation.

Hear From the Choreographer Whose Work Appears in Beyoncé's 'Countdown' Video
Without her permission.
Beyoncé's video for "Countdown" has been getting some attention not only for being awesome, but for its similarities to a dance piece by Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In an interview with MTV, Adria Petty, director of "Countdown" and daughter of Tom, said about making the video: "I brought Beyoncé a number of references and we picked some out together. Most were German modern-dance references, believe it or not," suggesting that the video's similarities to De Keersmaeker's work are intentional. De Keersmaeker, however, was never told her choreography would be used in "Countdown" and has written a piece responding to it.

New ILO Treaty on Forced Labor Victims
With all the talk of the End of Treaties and Treaty Survival, it's worth noting that the wheels of multilateral treaty-making have not come to a complete stop. Earlier today, the ILO adopted a Protocol to ILO Convention No. 29, the 1930 Forced Labour Convention. On paper, the 1930 Convention was a success — it currently has 177 parties. But it's also considered outdated within the human rights community, which has emphasized the continuing and significant costs of forced labor in humanitarian and economic terms, necessitating new legal tools to limit or mitigate the effects of this horrible practice.
Some of the 2014 Protocol's provisions are standard treaty fare on modern global problems — i.e., requiring "national" plans of action and domestic legislation on forced labor issues. Other provisions reflect the need to update the 84 year old Convention itself (i.e., deleting provisions on forced labor in overseas "colonies"). The heart of the treaty appears to be Article 4:
Article 4
1. Each Member shall ensure that all victims of forced or compulsory labour, irrespective of their presence or legal status in the national territory, have access to appropriate and effective remedies, such as compensation.
2. Each Member shall, in accordance with the basic principles of its legal system, take the necessary measures to ensure that competent authorities are entitled not to prosecute or impose penalties on victims of forced or compulsory labour for their involvement in unlawful activities which they have been compelled to commit as a direct consequence of being subjected to forced or compulsory labour.
I'd be interested in reactions from those who follow the ILO and forced labor subjects more closely. Is this Protocol significant in the ongoing efforts to deal with human trafficking and forced labor? How important is the expansion of the right to relief to include migrants who might otherwise be labeled "illegal" via their immigration status? And is the "entitlement not to prosecute" that significant a requirement? It presumably still gives State authorities the ability to prosecute forced labor victims engaged in 'unlawful' behavior like sex work or drug offenses even if they were coerced into doing so. Thus, it seems more like an aspirational goal than a provision that will mandate changes in State behavior. Comments most welcome.
One Response
The adoption by the International Labour Conference (ILC) of the Protocol to the Forced Labour Convention of 1930 (No. 29) confirms that multilateral law-making can still be effective when it comes to protecting human dignity. However, it is important to take into consideration that within the ILO, conventions and recommendations are elaborated and adopted on a tripartite basis among states, workers and employers organisations.
Even though Convention No. 29's original purpose was to supress the compulsory labour of native workers, a practice that still existed in certain non-self-governing territories during the first half of the twentieth century, it was drafted in such a way as to apply to other forms of forced labour. Recently, for example, on the basis of Convention No. 29, the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) requested that the Government of Malaysia reinforces its efforts to suppress human trafficking. In a similar vein, the CEACR urged the Government of Saudi Arabia to take actions to protect migrant domestic workers from abusive practices.
The point I want to put forward is that the adopted Protocol strengthens the role of Convention No. 29 as a legal tool that can still be used to combat labour trafficking nowadays. The Protocol confirms the definition of forced labour set out in the Convention, but extends its scope to include situations related to labour trafficking. Furthermore, the Protocol imposes new obligations on states in connection with Convention No. 29. These include the obligation: to take action to prevent human trafficking; to ensure that victims of forced labour, regardless of their legal status, have access to appropriate remedies, including compensation; and to refrain from prosecuting such victims for their 'participation' in unlawful activities connected to forced labour. It is very important to note that, during the discussion of the draft text in the ILC, there were no objections to extend the protection to illegal residents (See Provisional Protocol No. 9 (Rev.) ILC 103th Session).
As is the case in many ILO instruments, states can freely determine the policies and measures to implement the Protocol. This was reaffirmed during the discussion of the text of the Protocol. The Government of Greece, for instance, speaking on behalf of the EU, pointed out that measures to be adopted in compliance with article 4 shall be in accordance with the basic principles of their legal systems. It is, thus, for the ILO supervisory bodies, when they come to analyse the reports submitted by countries on the implementation of Convention No. 29 and its Protocol, to make sure that the measures in this respect are effective in terms of prevention, prosecution of perpetrators and victim protection.
However, it is not only states but also workers and employers organisations that share the responsibility for supervising the implementation of the Protocol. Article 6 stipulates that the measures taken to apply the provisions of the Protocol shall be determined by national laws or regulation or by competent authority, after consultation with the organizations of employers and workers concerned. Furthermore, as indicated in the 2014 International Labour Office's Report on the law and practice concerning elimination of forced labour, a greater involvement of labour inspectorates is critical to identify violations of labour rights at work places that may involve forced labour practices (See Para. 9 of the Report IV (1), Strengthening action to end forced labour).
The extent to which the Protocol can prosper in its attempt to supress forced labour affecting illegally employed migrant workers may depend largely on its ratification, particularly by countries attracting the most immigrants. Convention No. 29 is one of the ILO's most widely ratified instruments. This stands in sharp contrast to the low level of support (in terms of ratification) given to the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143). Convention No. 143, which calls upon States to adopt measures to suppress clandestine movements of migrants for employment as well as illegal employment of migrants, has been ratified only by 23 states. Popular immigration destinations such as the USA, France, Switzerland, Germany, Russia and Qatar do not appear in the list of ratifying countries. This might suggest that the Protocol would not be easily ratified by countries in which immigration is a sensitive issue and dealt with as a matter of domestic policy only. Yet, there are still some grounds for optimism. Workers and employers organisations can engage actively in promoting ratification of the Protocol in tripartite consultative bodies created for the purpose of monitoring the implementation of international labour standards (See Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards), Convention (No. 144)). At the international level, the ILO can also work together with other human rights bodies in raising awareness among states of the importance of suppressing labour trafficking and in condemning countries which do not provide for domestic remedies for the victims of forced labour.

Filmmakers Karen Cantor and Camilla Kjaerulff team to reveal how the Jews of Denmark managed to escape falling victim to Hitler's Third Reich.
With World War II raging throughout Europe, Hitler announced his intentions to impose his Final Solution on Denmark. Incredibly, the citizens of Denmark stood strong against the German tyrant at a time when most European nations were crumbling beneath his might.
As a result, the vast majority of Jews in Denmark were spared the grim fate of their brethren in other European countries such as Poland.

This week Google announced they were closing Reader, and many of us news junkies panicked as we searched for another solution. We asked our audience, "What is the best alternative?", and began searching for a new home to manage our feeds. I thought it would be a long journey or difficult transition, but then I discovered Feedly and I instantly fell in love.
Feedly operates in much the same way that Google Reader did, but it adds a ton of additional features and it does it with style. The web app and mobile clients are simply beautiful, and importing all my existing feeds only took a single click.
I've only been using the service for around 48 hours, but I can say with confidence that I will not be missing Google Reader. In fact, I'm a little pissed that I didn't know about Feedly sooner.
If you are still in search of a Google Reader replacement, or just looking for an awesome news reader, I highly recommend heading over to Feedly.com right now and signing up. For those of you who are switching, be sure to check out Tips for Google Reader users migrating to Feedly.

Searching for the best roast beef po-boys in New Orleans requires passing unforgiving judgments, often about bread. I can't count the number of promising sandwiches that fell from contention due to minor flaws in the baked goods. Verti Marte's was too soft, Parran's too arid and wide, Kid Creole's too obviously pre-sliced, causing it to go ever-so-slightly stale.
In fact, if you were to ask me to identify the roast beef po-boy's most important ingredient, meat, gravy or bread, I'd say: It depends on the sandwich.
Take DiMartino's. Its roast beef po-boy makes a strong argument for the virtues of slicing meat – as opposed to pulling or shredding it— as well as carefully regulating the amount of contact between beef and gravy.
"We put the gravy on at the last minute," said owner Peter DiMartino. "If you let the meat sit in there, like some places do, it overcooks, and you get this mush. I don't like that."
DiMartino opened the original DiMartino's in Terrytown in 1975. (There are now four locations in the metro area.) In the mid '80s, DiMartino changed the sandwich shop's name to DiMartino's Famous New Orleans Muffulettas because, as he explained it, "You need a signature item. And the most unique sandwich in New Orleans is not the roast beef. It's the muffuletta."
- Where it's at: 700 S. Tyler, Covington 985.276.6460; 1788 Carol Sue Ave., Terrytown 504.392.7589; 6641 West Bank Expressway, Marrero 504.341.4096; 3900 Gen. DeGaulle, Algiers 504.367.0227
- Claim to fame: DiMartino's is famous for its muffulettas, but the roast beef po-boy is its best-selling sandwich.
- Brett Anderson's take: Ordering your roast beef po-boy on muffuletta bread makes it, technically speaking, something other than a po-boy. It also makes for one of the better roast beef sandwiches in town.
- The search for the perfect roast beef po-boy: See the full list of restaurants reviewed on our-five-month taste test.
That may be so, but uniqueness also could also explain why the roast beef po-boy is DiMartino's best selling sandwich. DiMartino's runs its sandwiches through the toaster open-faced, with the roast beef on the bread.
The relatively brief contact with dry heat warms the meat and intensifies the flavor of the beef and gravy. It also has a transformative effect on the bread, one that is particularly pronounced if you order your roast beef on a round, muffuletta-style loaf. Doing so makes the sandwich something other than a po-boy. It also makes for one of the better roast beef sandwiches in town.
"Those are whole, natural sesame seeds on the (muffuletta) bread," DiMartino explained. "When those seeds go through the oven, those sesame seeds give off an oil, like sesame seed oil, and it coats the outside of the bread. There's a little gloss on there, and you can taste it."

Scores and Reviews
BURGHOUND - A pretty and notably ripe nose flirts with a touch of exoticism yet remains attractively fresh with cool yellow orchard fruit and floral aromas. There is good verve and reasonably good concentration to the appealingly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough depth to be interesting on the moderately firm and persistent finish. As is usually the case this is not a particularly elegant wine though it's by no means rustic either; rather it is frank and bold and I like the overall balance.

The Producer
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.
Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.
Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
The Region
There are more top producers in Meursault than in any other commune of the Côte d'Or. Certainly it is the most famous and popular of the great white appellations. Its wines are typically rich and savoury with nutty, honeyed hints and buttery, vanilla spice from the oak.Even though it is considerably larger than its southerly neighbours Chassagne and Puligny, Meursault contains no Grands Crus. Its three best Premiers Crus, however – Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes – produce some of the region's greatest whites: they are full, round and powerful, and age very well. Les Perrières in particular can produce wines of Grand Cru quality, a fact that is often reflected in its price. Meursault has also been one of the driving forces of biodynamic viticulture in the region, as pioneered by Lafon and Leflaive.
Many of the vineyards below Premier Cru, known as 'village' wines, are also well worth looking at. The growers vinify their different vineyard holdings separately, which rarely happens in Puligny or Chassagne. Such wines can be labelled with the 'lieu-dit' vineyard alongside (although in smaller type to) the Meursault name.
Premier Cru Meursault should be enjoyed from five to 15 years of age, although top examples can last even longer. Village wines, meanwhile, are normally at their best from three to 10 years.
Very occasionally, red Meursault is produced with some fine, firm results. The best red Pinot Noir terroir, Les Santenots, is afforded the courtesy title of Volnay Santenots, even though it is actually in Meursault.
- 305 hectares of village Meursault. The best vineyards include Clos de la Barre, Tesson, Chevalières, Rougeot, Narvaux
- 132 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards (17 in all). The finest vineyards include Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes
- Recommended producers: Comte Lafon, Arnaud Ente, Coche Dury, Guy Roulot, Jean-Philippe Fichet, Patrick Javillier, François Jobard, Michel Bouzereau
- Recommended restaurant: Le Chevreuil

The 23-year-old booted five field goals, including the game-clinching kick late in the fourth quarter, as B.C. defeated the Calgary Stampeders 29-27 in a soggy CFL pre-season game on Friday.
O'Neill's winning field goal from 47 yards out with 1:13 left on the clock bounced off the crossbar and over for the victory in a driving rain at McMahon Stadium.
"It's a little more dramatic than I would have liked," said the Edmonton native. "I just tried to stay focused on my stroke and just not worry too much. I put my head down, made the kick and waited for that bounce."
B.C. left 21-year veteran kicker Paul McCallum in Vancouver. Lions head coach Mike Benevides wants the option of having two kickers this season and is testing O'Neill and Steven Shott as possible partners for McCallum.
"Paul didn't come because we know what he could do," Benevides said. "This is about evaluation. We've had a roster built with a possibility of having two kickers on game day if we so choose and just to see if we have enough quality to get that on there.
"Hugh, this is his third pre-season with us. He answered the bell. He had a huge kick to make."
The wind and rain that started early in Friday's third quarter made execution difficult for the players. It was also uncomfortable for the announced crowd of 26,328 at McMahon Stadium, the majority of which left before the end of the game.
O'Neill's abundant beard has earned him several nicknames, including "Moonshine" and "Duck Dynasty." The weather didn't rattle the University of Alberta product, who was a perfect 5-for-5, including kicks of 10, 19, 36 and another from 47 yards to end the first half.
"They gave me an opportunity to have the game to myself, which is massive for me," O'Neill said. "Just to get that kind of back-on-the-field mentality and playing a whole game is really good for me, so I'm trying to make the most of it."
The CFL tuneup was both a preview of the regular-season opener for both clubs and a rematch of the 2012 West Division final, which the Stampeders won to earn a berth in the Grey Cup.
B.C.'s Korey Williams scored on a 105-yard kickoff return and Nick Moore caught a touchdown pass from Thomas DeMarco for the visitors.
Calgary backup quarterback Kevin Glenn threw touchdown passes to Mo Price and Khalil Paden. Running back Jonathan Williams scored on a one-yard dive late in the fourth quarter to give the hosts a temporary lead. Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes had a pair of field goals.
Lions No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay played a fraction of the first quarter before giving way to backups DeMarco, Chris Hart and Joey Elliott. Lulay completed 2-of-5 passes for 13 yards.
DeMarco was 6-for-12 for 68 yards and a touchdown, Hart was 1-for-6 for two yards and Elliott was 3-for-4 for 25 yards.
Calgary rotated starter Drew Tate, Glenn and Bo Levi Mitchell through the game with third-stringer Mitchell working the majority of the second half.
Tate connected on 2-of-7 passes for seven yards in the first quarter. Glenn was 7-for-10 for 125 yards, a pair of touchdown passes and one interception in the second quarter. Mitchell was 9-for-14 and 101 yards. Ryan Perrilloux had one throw for three yards.
"Drew had a tough time," Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel said. "Kevin came in and looked sharp. Bo, I thought, made plays in the second half under strenuous conditions."
Notes: The Stampeders conclude the pre-season on Thursday in Saskatchewan and open the regular season at home against the Lions on June 28. ... The Lions host the Edmonton Eskimos in their final pre-season game on Friday. B.C.'s home-opener is July 4 against the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts.

Dasmar needs a distinguishable voice. Or else it would suck.
I've got another question. Who were the unknowns in the mission with the Nepits and the Mentu at the cargo depot? (Taurus wing IIRC)
QuoteThe mass on that thing is MESSED UP. The Akrotiri jug I hit with it went flying at 300 m/s or something. Wait until I release the easter eggs list later today. You'll see things that are even crazier.

QuoteLol kept this quiet didn't you (until the release obviously) ? Last I recall it died when a hard-drive went down.Yes, that happened in 2004 and I lost a lot of progress from it. I got some new ideas last summer and started working on it again. I had learned my lesson though and decided to refrain from building up any hype this time, until the thing was actually ready to go. QuoteUgh too bad you had to include one of those stupid covert missions. I've had enough bs for one day after trying and failing ten times over.Meh at least I can enjoy the rest of the campaign now.It's a matter of taste. Some people actually like those missions. I'm assuming you're referring to 13, which is actually fairly easy if you approach it the right way. See the walkthrough for some tips.I suppose I should make it possible to skip that part as a cheat though. It's impossible to cheat in it and the later part of that mission is fairly critical to the story, so skipping it isn't a good idea either. I have already built a bypass into the mission for debugging but disabled it for the final release, so it should be easy to turn it back on in the next update.In any case, at least I can say that the campaign has something for everyone.

lol I have a game that lets me activate cheats and still progress thoughout the campaign.[And I killed everything that was a fighter in mission 13,14 and all the other stealth missions and it was a complete success.
1. the balance of weapons. It seems to of shifted it towards the enemy quite a bit, as far as i am concerned i found a good weapon balance and made the modifications accordingly to your mod. it's now either me or the enemy.
4. Impossible objectives. i like next to impossible objectives, but on several missions i can not even complete the objectives without being pushed away or destroyed half way even with my flight skills, which are quite high.
BTW, I can't find the Cargo crate for #8.
1. I do not feel right wheather you think if there weaker - if there good choise for you maybe. But overall playing it over something like multiplayer is going to be a problem. Which i have already done mind you.4. I am not talking about just bonus objectives, the objectives as a whole. That mission where you encounter a strange EM signature in Epsilon Pegasi for example. I am getting pushed back by the morningstars quite . In other ways i can not get near it because of the rapid firing cruiser. Again an example.BTW extra point of interest, think about it. You created this campaign for maybe your style. But have not maybe though of people who have different compatibilites, as you are the one who created this campaign is your responsiblity to hear everyones opinion and *not argue it out*, its a good campaign and throughly enjoyed. But it could help if you think of every scenario. i am trying to help i hope it does :-).

The eight planets orbit the sun in an elliptical fashion primarily because of gravitational interactions. The sun has a gravitational pull, as do most planets; other celestial bodies do, too, and the ways in which these forces interact and either attract or repel each other causes orbiting. Most physicists and astronomers believe that the planetary orbits should be perfectly circular. That they are actually elliptical, many say, has more to do with outside forces and variance errors than anything else. German astronomer Johannes Kepler was the first to publish material proving elliptical orbits, and his theories are still considered definitive. They were added to and expanded on by Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, among others.
The solar system is widely believed to contain eight planets, Earth included, that pass around a central sun at various intervals, each on their own elliptical track. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars together make up what is known as the "inner" solar system. These planets rotate the most quickly. Much further out one finds the "outer" system, made up of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets sit much farther from each other than do those in the inner rings, and their orbits tend to be much bigger, too. All of the orbits are elliptical in shape, though with the exception of Mercury they tend to appear almost perfectly circular. It is usually only through intense mathematical calculations that people discover they're actually elliptical.
Kepler was the first to identify the elliptical shape in the late 1600s. He came up with three related "laws of planetary motion" that quantify orbital movement with some precision. Through these laws he was able to explain that the planets move on a plane with the sun at one focus and determined that the shape of the ellipse should be measured in terms of eccentricity; namely, the more eccentric an orbit, the more elongated it is. Kepler did not determine why they orbit in an ellipse, but his groundwork was used by other physicists who came up with concrete explanations.
Newton's studies concluded that gravity plays a major role. Through a series of calculations he was able to show that planets pull on each other and the sun, as the sun also exerts a gravitational pull on them. This has the effect of squashing orbits that one might expect to be circular in a closed system, as the gravitational pulls act on each other. One way to think about this is to envision many hands pulling taffy.
The physical shape of the expanse of space also contributes. Einstein's theory of relativity also helps complete the explanation of why planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical fashion, since part of the shape of the orbits is a result of the curvature of space caused by planets acting on the space-time around them. The "bending" of space that results has a proportional impact on movement, and it forces what might otherwise be circular to flatten out and elongate.
In most cases the only accurate way to measure orbits and calculate planetary velocity and movement is to undertake a number of somewhat complex mathematical computations. People can calculate the orbit of individual planets as well as entities like comets using the mathematical rules established by a Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and those that followed, and they can also use equations to track the degree of change over time. This information is useful for a number of applications, from programming telescopes for observation to determining the degree of threat posed by an approaching comet or asteroid.
It is important for people to remember that many descriptions of planetary orbits are simplistic for the sake of easy comprehension, and many place the sun as a fixed body in space that planets move around. In fact, the sun is in motion along with the planets, and as they move through space the precise shape of the orbits also changes. This should be kept in mind when looking at discussions of the way the planets orbit around the sun, as the entire orbital system is, in fact, actually moving.
Post 16
I don't feel that this post answered the question it proposed.
Post 15
If space is curved. How in the hell its not circular? I do not think other planets affect one another. Einstein was a speculator. He was wrong about space time. He is wrong about many things. E=mc2 is an idea he stole from another scientist when he worked in the patent office.
Post 14
I thank whoever contributed the first paragraphs. So many resources dance around the question without producing a simple answer to a complex question. Kepler's mathematical formulas probably provide a clue but I don't want to get into this. The explanation that other gravitational sources contribute to the orbits being elliptical rather than a circular are satisfying for me. --CBBates
Post 13
I suggest readers consult the many articles NASA scientists have published on the cause and nature of elliptical orbits. These are articles by genuine scientists, not amateur speculators like Miles Mathis. Mathis is not a scientist and has never done the work necessary to become one. Aside from writing crackpot opinions on his website he has no credentials whatsoever and lives isolated in a hovel in Taos, NM.
Mathis believes 9/11 and the moon landings were hoaxes and that the value of pi is not 3.14 but 4.0. Please do not be deceived by an internet kook. Learn your science from a scientist.
Post 11
According to Miles Mathis in "explaining the Ellipse," Newton posited an innate motion which is the same throughout, but showed there.
Gravitational acceleration is stronger at perihelion than aphelion. This requires that the curved arc at perihelion must be smaller/ tighter than at aphelion. Both express vectors. This means that, in order to have an ellipse, another force is required.
I suggest readers research Miles Mathis explaining the ellipse, and learn for themselves that there is a serious problem between Newton's law and the shape of elliptical orbits. They can then post their mathematical criticisms for Mathis to address. To date, no one has shown he is in error mathematically.

@anon63169: While there is no physical object there, the common center of gravity of the object and the Sun lay at that point. For an example, the common center of gravity for Earth - Moon is actually inside the Earth, but we still orbit it.
Post 8
I suspect that elliptical orbits originated from the spiral nature of the early solar system.
As the planets formed from the condensate, they had a slight angular momentum like incoming projectiles that were captured in the warped space-time (a.k.a. "gravity") of the sun and this created the non-circular configurations.
Post 6
I see now that the gravitational pull of the sun has something to do with it.
Post 5
You are explaining why planets orbit the sun in an elliptical path and the answer is planets orbit the sun in an elliptical path by kepler's law.
Moderator's reply: We have revised the text of this article; the explanation should be clearer now.
Post 2
why an ellipse if there is "nothing at the other focus point"?
Post 1
I love this article. its so amazing that i've been very inspired and i want this astronomy to be my goal and inspiration for the rest of my living. Keep up the good searching and keep on inspiring people like me!

I don't know about you but I'm definitely inspired by the "Wiser Generation".
Their zest for life is contagious!
Today I had the opportunity to meet with many of these wonderful seniors at the Miralea Vendor Fair at the Olmsted. They were there to learn more about the services available to them during their transition from their current home to their new one at Miralea, an independent living community on the Masonic Home Campus.
We set up a room vignette, rather than a banquet table with a few chairs.
Doesn't it look cozy?
The idea is to demonstrate that you can have a wonderfully comfortable environment even in a small space.
As you can see, it was well attended! That's me in the center having a wonderful discussion
with an old friend who is moving into Miralea.
I look forward to seeing everyone in the months leading up to their move in the Fall. And I'm sure I will since I have a long-standing relationship with one of the new residents - my Mom!

Vertical radiators - Tall radiators - Upright radiators | Vertical radiators can be the optimal solution for a number of reasons. Tall radiators are ideal in areas where space is at a premium. Without compromising on the quality and the efficiency of the heating a slim vertical radiator allows you to increase the space available. Furthermore tall vertical radiators are also suitable for high ceilinged homes as they utilise the height of the room and kitchen and they save space. Our upright radiators come in a lot of kinds of designs and qualities, such as design room radiators and luxury room radiators. Vertical radiators are capable of meeting any heating requirement because they are offered in an exceptionally wide size selection and in different heating types. Additionally, you can select vertical radiators in single and double row tubes versions.
Please note that, due to several factories are suspending production in August, lead time of delivery for their models will increase. This is indicated on the page of each affected model.
While on the pictures you might only see horizontal models, you can choose vertical models using the size option when you order.
