Lightroom Layouts: Free Album Print Presets/Templates
Update! 08/2010: If you're using Lightroom 3, these templates will not work correctly. LR3 users need the new layout templates. You can download them here for free.
by Gavin Seim Most of us Lightroom users have heard about print templates. What most don't know is the super cool trick to use them for simple album page layouts for albums and press printed books. Matt recently posted a video on LR Killer Tips about tweaking template settings to allow multiple images on one layout.
I've made a set of print presets that allows you to make some quick square layouts like the one's below. Great for press printed books and albums. Load em up, select the layout, then select the photo's you want used. There's eight in this set and all have about 1/4″ edge space to allow trim room for books. Best of all is their FREE.
LR2 has no way to add a black background itself, so I used this workaround. I've included a black file in the download and there's more details in the help file. Once set up you can turn on "Identity Plate" in the settings and load the black background as desired. A future version of LT should include this feature without a workaround.
Download Seim LR Album Layout Presets v1.2
UPDATE V1.1: 6/2009, Minor tweaks were made and a new square preset was added.
UPDATE V1.2: 4/2010, Disabled auto rotation (more control), added new Square/2 Corner layout. Bug fixes.
Using The Template Presets:
Unzip the and install. If you don't know the basics of installing presets check my video out. It centers around Develop presets but the install method is basically the same. These just go in the "Print Templates" folder instead of "Develop Presets"/
Once installed, go to the print module and select the layout you want. You can mouse over presets to get a layout preview (top left). Select multiple images from the filmstrip. This will populate the layout. Bear in mind we're pushing the limits of how LR layouts were meant to be used so there are a few quirks. For example LR seems to place images in the layout based on the order sorted, irrelevant of what order you select them in.
If an image does not fill the correct cell, there's a couple solutions. You can fill the first cells, then drag an image manually onto the layout space of the last cell so it remains ordered. This tends to place an extra frame on the layout, but that can just be deleted. Another solution if all images are out of order is to make a collection for your images as you can manually sort it in the desired order before going to the print module and LR should automatically place the images in that order.
Images will fill the cell irrelevant of aspect ratio (V1.2). If the cell crop of the image is not the way you want, hold the CMD key (CNTRL on PC) and drag the image inside the cell to the crop that works. Also don't hesitate to play with the settings and make your own presets that fit your use style best (changing border styles etc) You can mod setting and update an existing presets or make a new one. You can add to a layout by dragging in extra image and placing them manually. It's fast since it retains the other settings of the current layout.
Exporting & Printing:
Once you have the desired look you can print it out directly. More often however you'll probably want to export them to send to a lab or make a book. While export does not actually work from the print module, you can quickly achieve the same result by printing to JPEG.
To export the layout just use "Print To JPEG" from the "Print Job" menu in the right side (see image). Click the "Print To File" button and the file will save out as high res JPEG file ready to be used. Repeat for each layout and Presto you have your ready to upload or save for later.
NOTE: Regarding the "Failed to convert native image to blob" error in the comments. This seems to be a problem with LR that can occur with any print presets. I've done some further research and it seems it may be related to having an image referenced in the identity plate that does not exist. I did some updates in V1.2 that hopefully will help those having issues. You might also attempt to fix errors by installing them manually and copying them directly into the print presets folder (as outlined in this video).
Enjoy… Gavin

Set free those eyes!
The mother of Jeremy Meeks -- the convicted felon with the cold blue eyes who became an Internet sensation after his mug shot was posted to the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page last week -- is trying to capitalize on her son's fame by raising money for his legal defense.
Meeks, 30, was on his way to work when he was arrested and has no gang affiliations, despite the charges against him, according to Katherine Angier's post on GoFundMe.
"He has old tattoos, which causes him to be stereotyped," Angier wrote. "He's my son and I'm just trying to raise funds to help him in anyway. Please help him to get a fair trial or else he'll be railroaded."
His family has also launched a Facebook page defending Meeks' character.
Meeks, a convicted felon, faces 11 new felony charges for allegedly possessing a firearm, being in a gang and violating parole. He previously served two years in prison on a 2002 grand theft conviction.
Angier's plea to help her son has so far garnered close to $4,000 in donations.
Meanwhile, another Facebook page dedicated to Meeks' unique look has gone viral.

Anyone ever hear of a school increasing a student's scholarship after his or her first year? My dad seems to think I could use the 4.0 and potential transfer as a bargaining chip for more money. Any thoughts?

For weeks, Joseph Stalin had been plagued with dizzy spells and high blood pressure. His personal physician, Professor V. N. Vinogradov had advised that Stalin step down as head of the government for health reasons. That was not what Stalin wanted to hear from the good doctor. Soon the Professor would pay for this temerity and indiscretion with his arrest and alleged involvement in the infamous Doctor's Plot (dyelo vrachey).
According to Dmitri Volkogonov in Stalin — Triumph and Tragedy (1991), the night before Stalin (photo, left) became ill, he inquired from Beria about the status of the case against the doctors and specifically about the interrogation of Professor Vinogradov. Minister of State Security Lavrenti Beria replied, "Apart from his other unfavorable qualities, the professor has a long tongue. He has told one of the doctors in his clinic that Comrade Stalin has already had several dangerous hypertonic episodes."
乐动体育APPStalin responded, "Right, what do you propose to do now? Have the doctors confessed? Tell [Semyon D.] Ignatiev [Minister of the MGB security organ] that if he doesn't get full confessions out of them, we'll reduce his height by a head." Beria reassured Stalin, "They'll confess. With the help of Timashuk and other patriots, we'll complete the investigation and come to you for permission to arrange a public trial." Then, "Arrange it," Stalin ordered. And from there, they went on to discuss other matters until about 4:00 a.m. on the morning of March 1, 1953.
Stalin was irritable and in a bad humor. He castigated his guests. Volkogonov based his account on the testimony of A.I. Rybin, who he personally interviewed. Rybin had been in the NKVD and later had become one of Stalin's bodyguards. But Rybin, though, had not been there during Stalin's final days. He had only been told what had happened by the guardsmen. And at the time Volkogonov had written his book those guardsmen could not be found or had refused to talk.(1)
Nevertheless, we do know that the guests had become a captive audience that evening and could not leave the Blizhnyaya, his nearer dacha in Kuntsevo, without Stalin's permission. They simply had to wait until Stalin dismissed them. But Stalin was not finished. He was still complaining that the leadership, which included many of his guests that night, were basking on past glories — but "they were mistaken." The implied threat to his inner circle was ominous. When Stalin finally got up and left, his shaken guests seized their opportunity and left the dacha. Georgy Malenkov and Lavrenti Beria, two of Stalin's henchmen whom he allowed to commingle socially, left together in the same volga. The others left separately.
Stalin did not leave his chamber that morning and by noon his staff became worried. To make matters even more difficult, no one was authorized to enter his private chambers unless they were summoned. All through the afternoon the domestic staff and his personal guards worried and waited for Stalin to come out. They were finally reassured when an outside sentry reported that a light from his dining room had come on about 6:30 p.m. Volkogonov writes: "Everyone sighed with relief and waited for the bell to ring. Stalin had not eaten, or looked at the mail or papers. It was most irregular." As late evening came, the domestic staff and guards began to worry anew. They debated what to do until sheer panic forced them to act. It was now 11:00 p.m., the evening of March 1, 1953.(1)
While Volkogonov interviewed Rybin years later, Russian journalist Edvard Radzinsky obtained documents that have even more bearing on Stalin's final days from the secret Russian Archives. In his 1997 book, Stalin乐动体育APP, Radzinsky relates that on March 5, 1977, the 24th anniversary of Stalin's death, Rybin organized a little party that included the guardsmen who were "at the nearer dacha around the time when Stalin died."
The guardsmen remembrances were written down, and Rybin recorded the substance of the testimony in which all of them agreed:
"On the night of February 28-March 1, members of the Politburo watched a film at the Kremlin. After this they were driven to the nearer dacha. Those who joined Stalin there were Beria, Khrushchev, Malenkov, and Bulganin, all of whom remained there until 4:00 a.m. The duty officers on guard that day were M. Starostin and his assistant Tukov. Orlov, the commandant of the dacha, was off duty and his assistant, Peter Lozgachev, was deputized for him. Matryona Butusova, who looked after the Boss's linen, was also in the dacha. After the guests had left, Stalin went to bed. He never left his rooms again."
乐动体育APPRadzinsky found that Rybin had also recorded separate testimonies from the guardsmen. Starostin's statement, which was the briefest, read: "At 19:00 the silence in Stalin's suite began to alarm us. We (Starostin and Tukov) were both afraid to go in without being called." Because they were afraid to go in, it was the newly deputized Lozgachev who went in, and "it was he who found Stalin lying on the floor near the table." Moreover, according to Starostin, Stalin gave an order he had never given before and that statement was subsequently corroborated by Lozgachev. Stalin told his servants and guardsmen in the words of Tukov, "I'm going to bed. I shouldn't be wanting you. You can go to bed too."
乐动体育APPBut there was more to the story, and many years later after painstaking persistence, Radzinsky tracked down Peter Vasilievich Lozgachev, and the old guardsman, "still robust in spite of his age," finally agreed to an interview about Stalin's final days. According to Lozgachev "only light wine was drunk, no cognac, no particularly strong drink to make him ill." Lozgachev's account differs from Tukov's in that according to Lozgachev, it was not Stalin who gave that unusual order but another guardsman, attachment Khrustalev, who had left the dacha at 10:00 a.m. on March 1. Only then was Khrustalev relieved by the aforementioned guards, Starostin, Tukov, and Lozgachev.
乐动体育APPBefore leaving them that morning, Khrustalev told them: "Well, guys, here is an order we've never been given before. The Boss said, 'Go to bed, all of you, I don't need anything. I am going to bed myself. I shouldn't need you today.' " To Radzinsky, there was more here than meets the eye, and he clarifies the situation, "To be precise, [Lozgachev] heard it not from the Boss but from the attachment Khrustalev, who passed down the order, and left the dacha the next morning."(2)
乐动体育APPRadzinsky included the following narrative as recounted by Lozgachev:
"The next day was Sunday. At ten, as usual, we were gathered in the kitchen, just about to plan things for the day. At ten there was no movement that was the phrase we used when he was sleeping. And then it struck eleven — and still no movement. At twelve — still none. That was already strange: usually he got up between 11 and 12, but sometimes he was awake as early as 10. Soon it was one — still no movement. His telephones may have rung, but when he was asleep they were normally switched through to other rooms. 'Starostin and I were sitting together and Starostin said: 'There's something wrong. What shall we do?'
乐动体育APP"And indeed, what were we to do — go in to him? But he had always told us categorically: if there was 'no movement', we were not to go in. Or else we'd be severely punished. So there we were, sitting in our lodge (connected with his rooms by a 25-metre corridor), it was already six in the evening, and we had no clue what to do. Suddenly the guard outside rang us: 'I can see the light in the small dining room.' Well, we thought, thank God, everything was OK. We were all at our posts, on full alert, ready to go, and then, again... nothing. At eight — nothing. We did not know what to do. At nine — no movement. At ten — none. I said to Starostin: 'Go on, you go, you are the chief guard, it's your responsibility.' He said: 'I am afraid.' I said: 'Fine, you're afraid, but I'm not about to play the hero.'
"At that moment some mail was delivered — a package from the Central Committee. And it was usually our duty to hand over the mail. Mine, to be more exact. 'All right, then,' I said. 'Wish me luck, boys'. We normally went in making some noise — sometimes even banged the door on purpose — to let him know we were coming. He did not like it if you came in quietly. You had to walk in with confidence, sure of yourself, but not stand too much at attention. Or else he would tell you off: 'What's all this good soldier Schweik stuff?'
乐动体育APP"Well, I opened the door, walked loudly down the corridor. The room where we put documents was right next to the small dining room. I went into that room and looked through the open door into the small dining room and saw the Boss lying on the floor, his right hand out-stretched...like this [here Lozgachev stretched out his half-bent arm]. I froze. My arms and legs refused to obey me. He had not yet lost consciousness, but he couldn't speak. He had good hearing, he'd obviously heard my footsteps and seemed to be trying to summon me to help him. I hurried to him and asked: 'Comrade Stalin, what's wrong?' He'd wet himself and he wanted to pull something up with his left hand. I said to him: 'Should I call a doctor?' He made some incoherent noise — like 'Dz...Dz...'
"On the floor there was a pocket-watch and a copy of Pravda. And the watch showed, when I looked at it, half past six. So this had happened to him at half past six. On the table, I remember, there was a bottle of Narzan mineral water. He must have been going to get it when the light went on. While I was talking to him, which must have been for two or three minutes, suddenly he snored quietly... I heard this quiet snoring, as if he was sleeping.
乐动体育APP"I picked up the receiver of the house phone. I was trembling and sweat beading on my forehead, and phoned Starostin: 'Come to the house, quick.' Starostin came in, and stood dumbstruck. The Boss had lost consciousness. I said: 'Let's lay him on the sofa, he's not comfortable on the floor.' Tukov and Motia Butusova came in behind Starostin. Together, we put him on the sofa. I said to Starostin: 'Go and phone everybody, and I mean everybody.' He went off to phone, but I did not leave the Master. He lay motionless, except for snoring. Starostin phoned Ignatiev at the KGB, but he panicked and told Starostin to try Beria and Malenkov. While he was phoning, we got an idea — to move him to the big sofa in the large dining room. There was more air there. Together, we lifted him and laid him down on the sofa, then covered him with a blanket — he was shivering from the cold. Butusova unrolled his sleeves.
"At that point Starostin got through to Malenkov. About half an hour had gone by when Malenkov phoned us back and said: 'I can't find Beria.' Another half hour passed, Beria phoned: 'Don't tell anybody about Comrade Stalin's illness'. At 3 o'clock in the morning, I heard a car approaching."(2)
At this point, Radzinsky notes that it had now been four hours since the first phone call and many more hours since Stalin had been struck down by the sudden illness, and he had been lying there without medical assistance all that time. Malenkov and Beria finally arrived without Khrushchev.
Lozgachev continued his recollection:
乐动体育APP"Malenkov's shoes creaked. And I remember how he took them off and stuck them under his arm. He came in: 'What's up with the Boss?' He was lying there, snoring gently... Beria swore at me, and said, 'What are you panicking for? The Boss is sound asleep. Let's go, Malenkov!' I explained everything to him, how he'd been lying on the floor and how he could only make inarticulate noises. Beria said to me: 'Don't panic, and don't bother us. And don't disturb Comrade Stalin.' And they left.
"And again, I was left alone. I thought I should call Starostin again and have him alert everybody again. I said: 'If you don't, he'll die, and our heads will roll. Phone them and tell them to come.' Sometime after seven in the morning Khrushchev turned up. [That was the first time that he made an appearance, noted Radzinsky]. Khrushchev, said 'How's the Boss?' I said, 'He's very poor, there's something wrong', and I told him the whole story. Khrushchev said, 'The doctors are on their way.' Well, I thought, Thank God'! The doctors arrived between 8:30 and 9:00A.M."(2)
Thirteen hours had now passed without Stalin receiving any medical assistance. Radzinsky hypothesized that Lavrenti Beria feared that Stalin intended to proceed not only with the conspiracy against the Jewish doctors, but also against some of the members of his inner circle, particularly Beria himself. He needed to act and so he did. Radzinsky posited that after Nikolai Vlasik, Stalin's loyal, longtime bodyguard, had been arrested and implicated in the contrived Doctors' Plot as well as the developing purge of the MGB, Beria, in an act of personal survival, recruited Khrustalev, a bodyguard strategically placed in Stalin's current personal attachment. Reportedly, according to Molotov, Beria later claimed that the inner circle should thank him, with the words, "I did him in," Beria boasted to Molotov, "I saved all of you!"(3)
Lozgachev continues:
"The doctors were all scared stiff...They stared at him and shook. They had to examine him, but their hands were too shaky. To make it worse, the dentist took out his dentures, and dropped them by accident. He was so frightened. Professor Lukomsky said, 'We must get his shirt off and take his pressure.' I tore his shirt off and they started taking his blood pressure. Then everybody examined him and asked us who was there when he collapsed. We thought, that was it, the end. They'll just put us in the car and it's goodbye. But no, thank God, the doctors came to the conclusion that he'd had a hemorrhage. Then there were lots of people, and, actually, from that moment we did not have anything to do with it. I stood in the door. People — the newly arrived — crowded around behind me. I remembered [MGB] Minister Ignatiev was too scared to come in. I said, 'Come on in, there is no need to be shy.' That day, the second of March, they brought Svetlana."(2)
乐动体育APPBetween March 2 and March 5, when Stalin died, members of his inner circle were dividing the spoils of power. Beria had already gone through the Kremlin vault and removed incriminating documents. All the henchmen had returned to the dacha and assembled there to pay their respects, Beria, Malenkov, Khrushchev, as well as the disgraced quartet, Molotov, Mikoyan, Voroshilov, Kaganovich, and other members of the Presidium. They were regaining their confidence as the greatest mass murderer in history lay dying.
乐动体育APPRadzinsky quoted the physician Professor Myasnikov: "Stalin sometimes groaned. At one point, only for a brief moment, his conscious gaze seemed to go round the faces by the bed. Then Voroshilov said: 'Comrade Stalin, we, all your true friends and colleagues, are here. How are you feeling, dear friend?' But his eyes were devoid of all expression already. We spent all day March 5 injecting things, and writing press releases. Politburo members walked up to the dying man. The lower ranks just looked through the door. I remember that Khrushchev was also by the door. In any case, the decorum in the hierarchy was well observed — Malenkov and Beria came first. Then Voroshilov, Kaganovich, Bulganin and Mikoyan. Molotov was not well, but came over two or three times, for a short time."
乐动体育APPMolotov himself recollected, "They told me to come out to the dacha... Stalin's eyes were closed, and, when he opened them and tried to speak, Beria would come running and kiss his hand. After the funeral Beria laughed: 'The light of science, ha-ha-ha!'"(2)
According to Svetlana, Stalin's daughter, "Father's death was slow and difficult.... His face became dark and different... his features were becoming unrecognizable…. The death agony was terrible. It choked him slowly as we watched… At the last moment he suddenly opened his eyes. It was a horrible look — either mad, or angry and full of fear of death.... Suddenly he raised his left hand and sort of either pointed up somewhere, or shook his finger at us all... The next moment his soul, after one last effort, broke away from his body."
Svetlana also wrote, "Beria was the first to run out into the corridor, and in the silence of the hall, where everybody was standing around quietly, came his loud voice ringing with open triumph: 'Khrustalev, the car!'"
To Radzinsky, this is another piece in the puzzle: "In this account by Svetlana, the memorable thing is the triumphant voice of Beria addressing Khrustalev! From all the assignees he was choosing Khrustalev!"(4)
乐动体育APPFinally Radzinsky asked Lozgachev the whereabouts of the guard attachment:
乐动体育APP"'They got rid of everybody. They'd summon you and send you away from Moscow, 'leave the city immediately and take the family with you'. Starostin, Orlov and Tukov decided to go and see Beria. To ask him not to send them away. So they went into his office, and he said: 'If you don't want to be out there, you will be down there.' And he pointed down to the ground. So away they went."
乐动体育APPRadzinsky asked him, "And what became of Khrustalev?" Lozgachev responded, "Khrustalev fell ill and died soon after... Orlov and Starostin were given jobs in Vladimir, and I stayed at 'the facility' — the facility was empty, with me as superintendent. It was handed over to the Ministry of Health.... That was the end of the nearer dacha.'"(2)
Clinical Course of Stalin's Illness
乐动体育APPWhen the doctors arrived to treat Stalin on the morning of March 2, the Boss was soaked in urine and lay unconscious on the sofa. Both his right arm and leg were paralyzed with a right Babinski reflex (i.e., right-sided hemiplegia consistent with a left cerebral stroke). He had a blood pressure of 190/110 with a pulse of 78. The doctors ordered absolute quiet, and eight leeches were applied behind his ears for slow bloodletting. Cold compresses and hypertonic enemas of magnesium sulfate were administered. Despite the doctors treatment, Cheyne-Stokes respiration appeared at 2:10 p.m. and Stalin's blood pressure climbed to 210/120. Over the next two days, Stalin's condition continued to deteriorate and he remained unresponsive.
On March 3, a flicker of hope appeared when the doctors observed that Stalin "reacted with open eyes to the speech of his comrades who surrounded him." But this was only momentary. Stalin soon lost consciousness and never regained it.
On March 4, Stalin began to hiccup uncontrollably and vomit blood. On March 5, the sweating became profuse and the pulse undetectable. Stalin did not respond to oxygen or injections of camphor and adrenaline. Stalin's death was recorded at 9:50 p.m. on March 5, 1953.(5)
乐动体育APPFinal Diagnosis: "Arising on March 5 in connection with the basic illness — hypertension and the disruption of circulation in the brain — a stomach hemorrhage facilitated the recurrent collapse, which ended in death."
But in the final draft of the report submitted to the Central Committee, Brent and Naumov note: "All mention of the stomach hemorrhage was deleted or vastly subordinated to other information throughout in the final report."(3)
It was reported that Stalin only drank diluted Georgian wine the night before his illness of March 1. Brent and Naumov suspect in one scenario that Beria with the complicity of Khrushchev (whose memoirs, Khrushchev Remembers, relating to the events of Stalin's final days have been found to be unreliable), slipped warfarin, a transparent crystalline substance into the wine. Warfarin is a tasteless chemical that in 1950 had just become patented and available in Russia as a blood thinner for patients with cardiovascular disease, and later, widely used as rat poison. A hypertensive hemorrhage of itself would have caused a stroke as Stalin sustained, but it would not necessarily be associated with gastrointestinal or renal hemorrhaging. Warfarin, on the other hand, could have produced both a hemorrhagic stroke as well as a bleeding disorder affecting multiple organs. The autopsy findings would be critical and, fortunately, just recently they have become available.
AUTOPSY OF THE BODY OF J. V. STALIN: "Post-mortem examination disclosed a large hemorrhage in the sphere of the subcortical nodes of the left hemisphere of the brain. This hemorrhage destroyed important areas of the brain and caused irreversible disorders of respiration and blood circulation. Besides the brain hemorrhage there were established substantial enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart, numerous hemorrhages in the cardiac muscle and in the lining of the stomach and intestine, and arteriosclerotic changes in the blood vessels, expressed especially strongly in the arteries of the brain. These processes were the result of high blood pressure.
"The findings of the autopsy entirely confirm the diagnosis made by the professors and doctors who treated J. V. Stalin.
"The data of the post-mortem examination established the irreversible nature of J. V. Stalin's illness from the moment of the cerebral hemorrhage. Accordingly, the energetic treatment which was undertaken could not have led to a favorable result or averted the fatal end.
"U.S.S.R. Minister of Public Health A. F. Tretyakov; Head of the Kremlin Medical Office I. I. Kuperin; Academician N. N. Anichkov, President of the Academy of Medicine; Prof. M. A. Skvortsov, Member of the Academy of Medicine; Prof. S. R." (6)
Obviously, the above signatories in the Ministry of Health included in the report as much as was possible to put in writing from a political standpoint, without getting their own heads into the repressive Soviet noose! They also correctly protected the physicians who treated Stalin. Needless to say the Doctors' Plot episode was very fresh in their minds.
While prudently citing hypertension as the culprit, the good doctors left behind enough traces of pathological evidence in their brief report to let posterity know they fulfilled their professional duties, as best they could, without compromising their careers or their lives with the new masters at the Kremlin.
High blood pressure, per se, commonly results in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and stroke but does not usually produce concomitant hematemesis (vomiting blood), as we see here in the clinical case of Stalin, and a further bleeding diathesis affecting the heart muscle, scantily as it is supported by the positive autopsy findings.
As I have written elsewhere, we now possess clinical and forensic evidence supporting the long-held suspicion that Stalin was indeed poisoned by members of his own inner circle, most likely Lavrenti Beria, and perhaps even Khrushchev, all of whom feared for their lives.(7) But Stalin, the brutal Soviet dictator, was (and still is in some quarters of Democratic Russia) worshipped as a demigod — and his assassination would have been unacceptable to the Russian populace. So it was kept a secret until now.

Excellent article and as usual, extremely well written and researched. I would offer another possible explanation for the findings of gastric hemorrhage and the cardiac hemorrhages. With such a large intracerebral hemorrhage and the fact that he lived for a number of hours after the event, most likely the gastric lesions were secondary to a Cushing's ulcer, which as your readers may not know, is secondary to massive discharges along the vagus nerve from the hypothalamus resulting in a gastric erosion and hemorrhages. Likewise, similar necrosis and hemorrhaged can occur in the cardiac muscle with such intracranial lesions, especially those with extremely high intracranial pressure. While poisoning is something that is more historically exciting and something he certainly deserved, it may be simply well described neurological events.

Portal hypertension would be another rare possibility for the GI hemorrhage; but there were a number of other circumstances discussed in the article that make it highly suspicious for a planned assassination by poisoning. His inner circle of henchmen, including Beria, feared for their lives, and Beria himself intimated he was behind the death. And as recorded in the article, an incredibly long time elapsed before the henchmen call the doctors, etc. So taking not only the medical but also other circumstantial evidence, it is probable he was poisoned.

Thank you.

乐动体育APP"FBI releases Stalin's daughter files" By SCOTT BAUER Associated Press, November 19, 2012
乐动体育APP"...When she defected, Peters was known as Svetlana Alliluyeva, but she went by Lana Peters following her 1970 marriage to William Wesley Peters, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. Peters said her defection was partly motivated by the Soviet authorities' poor treatment of her late husband, Brijesh Singh, a prominent figure in the Indian Communist Party...
乐动体育APP"Stalin, a dictator held responsible for sending millions of his countrymen to their deaths in labor camps, led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, denounced him three years later as a brutal despot.
"And even though Peters denounced communism and her father's policies, Stalin's legacy haunted her in the United States.
乐动体育APP" ' People say, `Stalin's daughter, Stalin's daughter,' meaning I'm supposed to walk around with a rifle and shoot the Americans," she said in a 2007 interview for a documentary about her life. "Or they say, `No, she came here. She is an American citizen.' That means I'm with a bomb against the others. No, I'm neither one. I'm somewhere in between... ' "
Dr. Faria,
Thank you for the excellent article, Stalin's Mysterious Death. Before reading your article, I believed Stalin had died in his sleep. I am glad this information is wrong and that Stalin died an agonizing, slow death. Stalin got what he deserved! I agree with Radzinsky's hypothesis that Beria's fear forced him to act. Thank you for the research you did to bring this information to your readers. Your web page is a beacon of truth and your articles are a delight to read.
Chowder 3, you made my day!
Beria's motive was not only his uncertainty about his own personal safety, but also Stalin's open threat to Beria's accumulated power with the concocted so-called Mingrelian Conspiracy, that Stalin instigated to depose and persecute Beria's allies in Georgia and elsewhere. Beris's own purge was in the communist horizon.
Beria had been able to fend off that threat but for how long? His personal security hanged by a thread. He had to act for his own personal survival. Malenkov, who was close to Beria during this period was probably in it; Khrushchev incriminated himself with his often mendacious, circuitous account of Stalin's final days in his own Memoirs. The affair had indeed a modicum of justice!
Hi Koba,
I will soon begin to read Beria by Amy Knight, hopefully she has found evidence of an imminent threat that forced the culprits to act, providing the smoking gun (of motive) on the part of Beria and Khrushchev. We must admit Stalin also provided a small public service by eliminating so many communist thugs and criminals who had themselves committed their share of unimaginable crimes against the Russian people. The KGB predecessors immediately come to mind. See Stalin, Communists and Fatal Statistics.
As always, Koba, thank you for your valuable comments and insights! MAF
Excellent article. A thanksgiving feast indeed.
This is most intriguing. Over ten years earlier when Germany was marching through USSR and Stalin hid, several of the closest and most powerful met, yet they hesitated for days according to Khruschev before they could work up the courage to go to Stalin, since he had advised them heads could roll if they told him again about Hitler attacking them. (This is from memory of a book I read yrs ago. Since I am away from home, I cannot validate the source or relate exactly who the men were, other than Molotov, as I recall).
乐动体育APPSo now over 10 years later Beria and Khruschev summoned up enough courage to poison the man of steel. Times change, and perhaps the conspirators were worried about Stalin taking action against them. Stalin certainly did maintain power by keeping any threat in fear of uniting against him or by eliminating them. However, the comment that the leadership--including Khruschev and Beria--were mistaken to look to past glories does not seem so ominous. Could it have worried them so much that they would take such a risk? Or was it that they had already realized that Stalin must be eliminated anyway and the time was right. He was always unpredictable and paranoid.
So I guess the motive concerns me a bit. Although one could never take any threat from Stalin lightly.
That Beria and Khruschev would be involved is not surprising. Beria ws a serial rapist, murderer, and had the morals of a John Wayne Gacy with the means of a totalitarian machine. Khruschev, despite being a protege of Stalins, certainly knew how quickly one could be percieved by Stalin as a rival, which meant death. Moreover, Kruschev had no qualms against desposing of competition himself or having it done, as he did with Beria.
乐动体育APPSo we have means, motive, and perpetrators who have proven themselves capable of murder.
This is an excellent job about a subject so rarely discussed or so briefly touched upon, even in books about the monster Stalin. It has me most curious.
Dr. Faria
What an awesome account.
You know I just never trusted Khrushchev.
乐动体育APP I remember as a little girl, I watched him on television meeting with different American Dignitaries. I thought then, even as a child ;"I don't trust that man"!
It certainly appears your accounts have proven Stalin was possibly poisoned with warfarin. What better camouflage than to hide that drug inside someone already positioned to explode with hypertension!
I enjoyed this account.Thank you for your detailed article.
It remains hard for me to understand how so many can still sing Stalin's praises when he murdered so many innocent people.
I agree with uneed. This is a great article, very well-written too! The research is astounding and you make history read like a storybook. So interesting!
Dear uneed,
Thank you for the kind words!
You may also be interested in the article "Stalin, Communists and Fatal Statistics." We can say it was pay back time!

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 9, No. 1 Spring 1982
Kiyoshi Inoue
Abstract: In 1518, when nothing but Paciolo's "Summa" had been printed in the world of bookkeeping, Matthäus Schwarz, who was a bookkeeper of the Fuggers, wrote a manuscript on bookkeeping known as "Threefold Bookkeeping." This manu-script showed an illustration of three kinds of bookkeeping methods, of which the first and second methods aroused the most interest and research in ways of com-parison with one another. This paper will attempt to show how the first and second methods are an integrated part of and incorporated into the third method of "Threefold Bookkeeping" system as a whole; and to exemplify the superiority that "bookkeeping in practice" has to "bookkeeping in text."
The earliest text on bookkeeping, "Summa," was published in 1494 in Venice by Paciolo. Twenty-four years later in Vienna, Gram-mateus, second only to Paciolo, wrote a draft of a bookkeeping text which supposedly was not published until 1521 in Nuremberg.1
During the same year, 1518, Matthäus Schwarz,2 a bookkeeper of the Fuggers, completed his manuscript known as "Dreierlay Buch-haltung" (herein referred to as "Threefold Bookkeeping"). Until the completion of Schwarz's manuscript, Paciolo's text had been recog-nized throughout the world as the only printed book on bookkeep-ing.
There are several reasons why Schwarz's manuscript is now regarded as a valuable document written during the infancy of book-keeping texts. The fact that the manuscript was written nearly 464 years ago is only of secondary importance historically. Of primary importance is that Schwarz's manuscript gives clear examples of the character of practical bookkeeping during that period in com-parison with the methods of Paciolo and Grammateus, because it holds some characteristics of practical bookkeeping attained by a practitioner who had an advantage over scholars.
It is also noteworthy that the Fuggers, who employed Schwarz, had wielded such great economic powers that the period became known as the "Era of the Fuggers."3 This era still remains as a mile-

Community-based management of severe acute malnutrition
A joint statement
Severe malnutrition is a life threatening condition requiring urgent treatment. Until recently, the recommendation was to refer these children to hospital to receive therapeutic diets along with medical care. The situation changed recently with the advent of highly fortified, ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) which allows the management in the community of large numbers of children who are severely malnourished without medical complications.
A joint statement was issued in June 2007 by WHO, UNICEF, the World Food Programme, and the United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) which promotes community-based care for severe acute malnutrition. It asserts that around three quarters of children with severe acute malnutrition - those who have a good appetite and no medical complications - can be treated at home with RUTF.
It is expected that implementation of community-based interventions on a large scale, along with a strengthening of referral facilities for severely malnourished children with complications, could transform the lives of millions of children. The approach has already greatly improved survival rates for severely malnourished children in emergencies in countries such as Congo, Ethiopia, Malawi and Niger. The aim is to expand the approach to reach the larger numbers of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition who live in communities untouched by emergencies.

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering: Ideas to Up Your Small Church Giving
Out of all of those, by far our largest offering each year is the Lottie Moon Christian Offering, which goes to support international missions through the IMB of the Southern Baptist Convention. Over the past two years, our giving to LMCO has more than doubled previous years' offerings. During my first year as pastor in 2008, we gave over $2500, an amount close to $50 per active member. Last year (2009), our Church gave almost $4300, which is over $80 per active member.
So how did we do it? How did we raise our giving by $30 per active member? Quite simply, we did one simple fundraiser - A YARD SALE! That's right. All we did is hold a Church-wide yard sale on the property. That sale, combined with a small benevolence offering, took in over $1700. That's almost as much as we gave in personal offerings!
This past Saturday we held our yard sale for this year. It was another successful year. Despite not being listed in the local paper (which was the paper's fault, not ours), we still raised over $700, which is 25% of our offering goal. So in essence, due to a simple 5-hour yard sale, our giving is going to be 25% higher than our simple offering contribution.
Another way we plan on upping our giving by an additional 10-15% is through what we call the "Lottie Moon Post Office". In a small Church like ours, everyone sends Christmas cards to everyone else in the Church. Instead of sending them through the mail and paying the Post Office 44 cents per card, we give 50 cents per card to our youth group members, who then deliver the cards before our worship service on Sunday mornings during the month of December. We estimate that this year we will raise some $300-400 more through the "Lottie Moon Post Office."
I hope that if you are a small Church pastor (or even a member of a small Church), these suggestions will help you to raise your international missions giving this year. If every small church our size raised just $700 through a yard sale and/or a "Lottie Moon Post Office", then our giving over last years total Lottie Moon Christmas Offering would be $17.6 million. That's an incredible amount of ministry that could be done simply by selling our unnecessary junk and sending Christmas cards to one another.
If you're a pastor or a member of a small Church, let me know what other programs have worked in your Church, which have fueled your Lottie Moon giving to new heights.

North and South Korea to hold talks on family reunions
Filed under: History, Info, North Korea, Travel
SEOUL — North Korea on Sunday accepted South Korea's proposal to hold discussions this week on the emotional issue of family reunions and also suggested discussions on restarting the Mt. Kumgang resort that had been closed since 2008.
The announcement followed an agreement last week between the two nations to launch negotiations on reopening a joint industrial park in North Korea, feeding the recent optimism that relations between the two nations might be on the mend.
Three days after Seoul's call for talks on family reunions, the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland released a statement on state media saying the two nations should hold talks Friday and use the coming Korean holiday of Chuseok as an occasion to bring together parted relatives.

S. Korea wants to delay military deal with U.S., news report says
Filed under: Asia, History, Info, U.S. Policy
From the Washington Post
SEOUL — South Korea has asked to postpone a change that would give Seoul control of its own troops during a war, rather than place them under U.S. command, South Korea's semiofficial Yonhap News Agency said Wednesday, citing a top U.S. government official.
The reported request, coming on the heels of delays, underscores South Korea's ambivalence about how it would handle a potential war with the rival North and whether its military is capable of operating independently of Washington.
Under the current arrangement, a legacy of the Korean War, the United States would command not only its own troops amid fighting on the Korean Peninsula but also those of the South.
The transfer of operational wartime control from Washington to Seoul would mark the greatest power shift in a six-decade alliance. When the South first pushed for the transfer seven years ago, government officials here described it as an affirmation of the South's sovereignty and its rapid modernization.
But the transfer — originally planned for 2012 and then pushed to December 2015 — has since drawn occasional criticism from conservative analysts in Seoul and Washington, who say deterrence against North Korea will suffer if the militarily superior United States takes a back seat. Earlier this year, a former U.S. commander in Korea, retired Gen. B.B. Bell, said the United States should "permanently postpone" the deal in light of the North's nuclear weapons capability.
The Yonhap report was attributed to an unidentified top U.S. government official and confirmed by a senior South Korean official.
South Korea's Ministry of National Defense did not confirm the report but said in a statement that Seoul had proposed Washington take into account "North Korea's heightened nuclear problem" as the two sides discuss the handoff. The statement added that the transfer will be "continuously discussed" by the two governments.
In its statement, U.S. Forces Korea said "no formal proposal" has been made to adjust the so-called OpCon plan. A Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Col. Jeff Pool, said both sides believed that certain conditions had to be met before the transition. But the allies "continue to work to meet" the 2015 milestone, he said.
When the transfer occurs, the 28,500 U.S. troops here will not fall under the command of the South during war. Rather, the United States and South Korea will have separate commands.
South Korea gained control in 1994 of its troops during peacetime. But analysts and U.S. officials say the South needs to improve some of its capabilities — its intelligence systems, transport planes, amphibious vessels — before the wartime transfer.
"There is a lot of work that needs to be done," Joseph Yun, the acting assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, told a congressional committee in May.
Yoonjung Seo in Seoul and Ernesto Londoño in Washington contributed to this report.

Students slam BBC for 'gambling with lives' in N.Korea

The London School of Economics said its students, who went to North Korea on a study trip, could have been detained for years if the BBC scam unraveled.
The LSE claims that BBC's Panorama reporter John Sweeney posed as one of the university's professors, and took the students on an alleged study trip in order to film an undercover documentary in North Korea. The students were not aware that they were involved in the filming of a documentary and the BBC did not warn them of the imposed dangers, General Secretary of the LSE Students Union Alex Peters-Day told RT.
According to Peters-Day, rather than make a concerted effort to inform the entire student group headed to the country, individual students overheard conversations in hotel lobbies and in minivans en route to Beijing airport.
"A couple of years ago two American journalists were found to have been doing undercover journalism in North Korea. They were both sentenced to nine years of hard labor. Obviously, as we now have just heard, the climate in North Korea is more heightened than it was back then, but students should have had the right to make the decision for themselves whether or not they are going to face danger. The problem for us is that the BBC made that decision for them," Peters-Day told RT.
"The group was just told there would be a print journalist only. It wasn't actually until they arrived in North Korea that they were told there would be a documentary in which they would be appearing. It wasn't until they arrived in Beijing to fly to North Korea that they were joined by other journalists. When we are talking about a trip like this, with such risks involved, it's so important that the students would have been briefed at all stages and would have been made aware. They just weren't in this case. The BBC deliberately withheld information from them," she said.
In addition to the potential danger to students, Peters-Day claims that this situation potentially jeopardizes all academic work in the UK, preventing future access for professors to politically-sensitive countries.
"I know Universities UK, which represents over a hundred universities in Britain, have come out and condemned the BBC for doing that, because it places at jeopardy huge amounts of academic research. And the problem is LSE academics and other academics do work into regimes like North Korea, which is really insightful. Whereas this is a tourist trip. I'm pretty certain the information, the footage they will get would have been the same sort of footage of tourist monuments and statues of Kim Jong-un, when actually the important work that is done by universities uncovering authoritarian regimes is now at risk and jeopardy," added Peters-Day.
The same sentiment was expressed in an email sent by the university to students and staff: "It is LSE's view that the students were not given enough information to enable informed consent, yet were given enough to put them in serious danger if the subterfuge had been uncovered prior to their departure from North Korea."
According to an anonymous student present on the trip who spoke with the BBC, they were not made aware of the presence of several journalists working prior to their flight to Pyongyang. Rather, students were told that John Sweeney was a history professor with the university, though that subterfuge seemed to dissipate slowly once the group had arrived in North Korea.
For its part, the BBC has thus far refused to pull the program, while Craig Calhoun, director of the LSE, questions whether it was worth it for anyone involved.
"The BBC story put LSE students at danger but seems to have found no new information and only shown what North Korea wants tourists to see," wrote Calhoun via Twitter.
Not everyone is entirely convinced that the BBC's gamble was not worth the risk. John Lloyd, director of journalism at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, believes the timing and the content of the program made it "extremely valuable."
Regardless of whether the program will ultimately be viewed as being of value, the incident comes at a delicate time for the BBC's Director General Tony Hall, who is still trying to navigate the institution beyond last year's accusations of a cover-up and editorial failure over the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.
Perhaps even more damaging, according to one BBC news executive who spoke with Reuters, the decision to embed journalists with the LSE student group had been "right to the top," and involved Hall in at least some regard.

Metro hoarding. HCMC.
2:30 9 April 2013
Location: Braga, North of Portugal, at the Gualtar campus of the University of Minho. The building is the Institute of Arts and Humanities (Instituto de Letras e Ciências Humanas – ILCH) and the room is the ILCH Auditorium.
My copy of Kipling's Jungle Book begins with Lisa Makman's pithy (even pith-helmeted) passage on jungles. It well deserves citation:
'The term "jungle", derived from the Hindi word jangala, entered the English language only in the eighteenth century; today it evokes dangerous terrain: impenetrable equatorial forests, menacing urban landscapes, and overall mayhem [as in, "it's a jungle out there"]. Even as jungles have gained a new designation – rain forest – and we have learned of their life-sustaining role in the biosphere, the word continues to conjure images of imperial adventure: the white man cutting his way through the bush to hunt big game, or Tarzan swinging from a vine. We owe our deep associations of jungles with mystery, threat, and the struggle for survival in large measure to Rudyard Kipling (Makman, intro to Kipling 2004:xv)'
I want to suggest that the stalking metaphor for the trinket collecting word-play of storytelling dialectics might be Kipling's character Kaa, who also had some wisdom, let us not forget: 'The jungle is large and the Cub he is small. Let him think and be still' (Kipling 2004:33). Kaa is a storyteller too, not just an old snake: 'I also have known what love is. There are tales that I could tell that…' (Kipling 2004:42).
There is much to learn from the names that populate the jungle city. I also note, from my copy of Hobson-Jobson – that amazing compendium of Anglo-Indian loan words, without which neither Midnight's Children nor Merchant Ivory – that the word 'Jungle' is derived from Sanskrit, chiefly used in medical discourses, 'the native word means in strictness only waste, uncultivated ground'. In the great H-J we read a citation from Valentia, in the year 1809: 'The air of Calcutta is much affected by the closeness of the jungle around it' (Yule and Burdell 1886/1996:470). We should be much amused to hear yet again the repetition of this undeservedly bad press for the city, and must surely reject such characterizations, with Kipling in mind, remembering the city he called 'dreadful night' was also 'a city of palaces' (for discussion see Hutnyk 1996:7). From the silted swamp and urban jungle we move on to horror stories, always evocative, we go to battle the elements together: 'for we be of one blood, ye and I'.

Published at Sunday, July 28th, 2019 - 10:14:58 AM. Wedding Venue. By Arvin Schmidt.
There are many venues all over the world that are known because of providing facilities to the guests that make their stay over there comfortable. Before hiring wedding venues, people must keep few things in mind so that the venue is perfect for the event.
There is no doubt that people have to consider their budget before selecting a wedding venue, but it must be considered that the wedding venue provides enough space for the number of guests invited in a wedding. A wedding venue that is very small or too large for the number of guests is not suitable for making the event wonderful, but it can destroy all wedding arrangements.

String the superlatives together and you still can't sum up the sultry passion, intimacy, ethereal grace and exquisite perfection of "Forever Tango!" You have to be at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre, where Luis Bravo's paean to the endlessly thrilling Argentinean art form has just blissfully returned for the third time since its spectacular 1997 New York debut.
Save for the haunting emotional vocals served up by five-time Grammy Award-winning crooner Gilberto Santa Rosa — who instantly won applause just by ambling onstage — not a word is spoken in this two-hour-20-minute explosion of talent. And though Santa Rosa sings in Spanish, the fervor and joy of his emotional storytelling reached out to our audience, as captivating as the 16 world-class tango masters whose lithe bodies told wondrous tales of the magic of human connections.
Nary a smile cross's the lips of the dancers, but longing, sensuality, playful and serious seduction and joy and exaltation transported us to a world where dedication to the perfection of teamwork is a way of life. It was such a thrilling evening one could feel a collective high come over the Walter Kerr, culminating in a cheering standing ovation from an audience who just wanted "Forever Tango" to go on forever!
Dancing by the stars
Perhaps the best news is that its just been announced that "guest stars" Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, arguably best known for their stints on "Dancing With the Stars" have extended their run in "Tango" through Aug. 11. Magnificent Ms. Smirnoff, a mirror ball champion who was ranked No. 2 in the world and Maksim — a charismatic hottie whose just added a stint in ABC's "General Hospital" to his resume — are both renowned choreographers and dance entrepreneurs. And their every breath-catching moment onstage proved why this magical duo own the title "Superstars."
The ethereal glow of "Forever Tango" created and directed by Bravo now enjoys additional choreography by the dancers — all of whose lithe bodies fill the stage with synchronized bliss. Even seeing makes it difficult believing not a single misstep (save in the one comic number) from the entire troupe, performing both in reams and collectively — with the former including one of the evening's showstoppers where Juan Paolo Horvath spun partner Victoria Galoto using only their legs — finally hoisting the lithe beauty to his shoulder, gripping only her thigh!
The locking of bodies and eyes tell stories by teams who have heard them all over the world; and equally entertaining ones are delivered by an 11-man band, who bring us both soulful and playful numbers on string instruments, piano, keyboard and their unique bandoneons — a very special variation on the accordion—which is the soul of tango music.
Bravos go also to Argemira Affanso's costume design, whose gorgeous frocks, sylph-like shimmering gowns, sparkling footwear and equally elegant men's attire (and shoes) mirror an evening of pure class. With a tango explosion still in progress, how fortunate that this troupe has now returned to New York to remind us that the spectacle of human perfection displayed in its pinpoint variations remains a soaring truth" no matter how technology progresses it's the wonder of the human mind and body — in all its expressions — that transports us to a world of unlimited possibilities; And how captivating the thrill of watching "Forever Tango" — even (or especially) if one has two left feet! (Walter Kerr Theater, 219 W. 48th St., tickets at telecharge.com, 212-239-6200 or 800-432-7250)

Just last month, Jay-Z remarked that he hadn't been to the White House yet – a problem he quickly remedied on Wednesday.
The hip-hop icon joined wife Beyonce in an impromptu trip to the White House, where they were photographed smiling at the head of a boardroom table.
In February, Jay-Z told the BBC's Jonathan Ross he'd be meaning to make a visit.
"I've been invited to the White House a couple of times," he said at the time. "Hopefully we'll keep him in for eight years, so I'll have time to get there."
In Jay's entourage during his visit to the White House was fellow musician Trey Songz, who Tweeted about his Presidential moment.
"Had the honor of meeting Barack Obama today - Surreal - GOD bless The President and his family," he Tweeted.

Healthcare and life sciences companies continue to innovate ways to increase the length and quality of life for people around the world. These innovations come with a cost, and regardless of if a system is private or publicly funded, there are significant opportunities to increase efficiency and better tie investments to outcomes. In the United States, the focus is on the Triple Aim of Healthcare - revolutionising the quality of patient care, population health outcomes, and stemming the rising tide of medical costs. To do this, payers and providers want better information, which is driving interoperability initiatives and potentially increased transparency, but also the need for enhanced security. Innovations in the specialisation of pharmaceuticals promise more customised treatments, but the high costs bring questions from patients, insurers and regulators. Meanwhile, accountable care organisations continue to expand bundled payment approaches that could mean better patient outcomes and greater profitability for providers. All of these changes will disrupt organisations operating business as usual. However, there are enormous opportunities for leaders that are able to see more deeply into the changing landscape and beyond short-term challenges to position themselves for long-term success.
Protiviti partners with leaders to help them achieve greater confidence in these changing environments. We seek to understand the unique strengths, risks and opportunities of your organisation and where you want to take your business. We then collaborate with you to build custom solutions that maximise your chances for success and bring a tailored, multi-disciplinary team of professionals that fits your situation and company culture. While the process is never simple, our goal is, to help you face the future with confidence.
