The number of non-Muslims in Turkey has decreased significantly since the foundation of the Turkish republic. This decline also has its roots in discriminatory state policies towards non-Muslims, Turkification policies, and expropriation.
In the 1920s, under the "Citizen Speak Turkish" campaign, non-Muslims were threatened if they spoke their native languages in public. When the Wealth Tax (Varlik Vergisi) was applied to non-Muslims in 1942, high property taxes forced many to sell their houses at low prices to Muslims. Those who could not pay their tax debt were sent to a labour camp in Askale in Eastern Turkey.
In September 1955 a pogrom against non-Muslims, especially Greeks, but also Armenians and Jews, was organised in Istanbul by the secret service, the police and ultra-nationalist groups. The false news of the bombing of Ataturk's birthplace in Thessaloniki was used as an excuse to attack non-Muslim businesses, houses, and churches. In total, 4,348 Greek-owned businesses, 110 hotels, pharmacies, schools, factories, 73 churches and over a thousand homes were badly damaged or destroyed. 15 people died. A second shock came in 1964. That year, the government passed a law forcing Istanbul Greeks who had Greek nationality to leave Turkey within 48 hours. This law directly affected about 12,000 Greeks. However, since most of them left with their families, the actual number was significantly higher.
In 1971, the Greek theological school in Istanbul was closed and has yet to reopen. In 1974, it was decided that real estate acquired by non-Muslim foundations since 1936 would have to be returned to their previous owners. The ruling led to the confiscation of at least 4,000 properties belonging to Turkey's Jews, Armenians and Greeks. The confiscations went on until the 1990s.
To this day, non-Muslims are not allowed to make a career in the armed forces, to become civil servants in "sensitive" institutions like the foreign ministry, to teach Turkish or Turkish history at state schools, including minority schools.
Istanbul telephone book from the 1950s
The biggest Christian group in Turkey today (an estimated 70,000 people) is the Orthodox (Gregorian) Armenians, almost all of whom live in Istanbul. The Armenian Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul, located since 1473 in the Kumkapi district on the historic peninsula, is one of the four main Armenian Patriarchates.
The Armenian community has 33 churches and 20 schools, two hospitals (one Orthodox, one Catholic), several cemeteries, homes for the elderly and sports clubs. There are two daily newspapers in Armenian (Jamanak and Marmara) and one weekly, Agos, published both in Turkish and Armenian. Aside from the Orthodox-Armenian, there is also the Catholic-Armenian community, with around 3000 members, some churches and schools. A small Armenian Protestant community also lives in the city.
The second-biggest Christian group (around 40,000 people) are the Roman Catholics. Most of the remaining Levantines of French and Italian origin are Catholic. It is foreigners residing in Turkey, however, who make up the biggest group in the Catholic community. Istanbul is home to several Catholic churches, the biggest being St. Antoine, on Istiklal Street.
The Greek Orthodox Church has a rich history and the Patriarchate of Constantinople has an important position in the Orthodox Church, though the actual number of its followers in Turkey has fallen to around 5,000. In Istanbul the community runs three high schools, one hospital and two very small newspapers. Arab-speaking Orthodox Christians from Hatay and Antakya are also members of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The Assyrian Christians are estimated to number around 20,000 in Turkey. Their historic settlement, called Tur Abdin, has its main monasteries around Mardin and Midyat in South-eastern Turkey. Due to the war between the Turkish army and the PKK, many Assyrian Christians have moved abroad – or to Istanbul, where they have two churches. Since they are not a recognized minority, the Assyrian Christians don't have any schools.

Giorgio Sironi has posted a two part look at some techniques you can use to eliminate the singletons scattered through out your code (as sparked by the recent announcement that the Zend Framework project will be doing the same thing).
It is actually very simple to eliminate singletons: just force the components to ask for what they need in the constructor or via setters or via inject*() methods, instead of looking up a singleton trough a static method only to obtain a reference. Once this fundamental decoupling is achieved, the hard part is tackling the construction problem.
In the first part of the two, he looks at a Zend Framework example of how to replace a certain piece of code with injected instances of required objects. In the second part he refines it down a bit more and only inject/create the objects and resources as needed.

Eliminating copayments improves adherence, reduces adverse events in nonwhite patients
Research demonstrates that lowering copayments for cardiovascular medications results in better adherence and outcomes among all patients, but until now, little was known about whether lowering copayments could improve known disparities in cardiovascular care. New research finds that lowering copayments for medications following a heart attack could have a significant impact on reducing the racial and ethnic disparities that exist in cardiovascular disease.
These findings are published in the May issue of Health Affairs.
"African Americans and Hispanics with cardiovascular disease are up to 40 percent less likely than whites to receive secondary prevention therapies, such as aspirin and beta-blockers," said Niteesh Choudhry, MD, PhD, lead study author and associate physician in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. "Our research demonstrates that not only does eliminating medication copayments following a heart attack positively impact the disparity we know exists in cardiovascular care and improve outcomes for nonwhite patients, it also has the potential to dramatically reduce healthcare spending for this high-risk group."
Researchers analyzed self-reported race and ethnicity data for participants in the Post-Myocardial Infarction Free Rx Event and Economic Evaluation (MI FREEE) trial, and found that rates of medication adherence were significantly lower, and rates of adverse clinical outcomes - readmission for a major vascular event or coronary revascularization— were significantly higher, for nonwhite patients than for white patients.
Researchers report that providing full drug coverage (no copayment) increased medication adherence in both groups. Among nonwhite patients, it also reduced the rates of major vascular events or revascularization by 35 percent and reduced total health care spending by 70 percent. Interestingly, providing full coverage had no effect on clinical outcomes and costs for white patients.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to promote racial and ethnic equality, we wanted to further explore whether financial responsibility resulted in different health outcomes based on race or ethnicity. This important level of detail helps us design products and services that more effectively meet our members' health needs," said Wayne Rawlins, MD, national medical director for Racial and Ethnic Equality Initiatives at Aetna and co-author of the study.
The study and analysis of medication adherence and the impact on racial and ethnic disparities is supported by an unrestricted research grant from Aetna to BWH and is part of ongoing collaborative work to understand the impact of health insurance on disparities in health care. Choudhry also receives research funding to study medication adherence from CVS/Caremark, who collaborated on the current study. Annual excess health care costs due to medication non-adherence in the U.S. have been estimated to be as much as $290 billion.

The Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) has reported on the conclusion of Acclimate, a four-year project dedicated to climate change adaptation. The culmination of the project's work, a regional strategy for climate change adaption, was adopted by the IOC's 28th Council of Ministers on 17 January 2013, in the Seychelles.
According to IOC, the project, which concluded on 31 December 2012, has sustainably strengthened cooperation among the countries of the Indian ocean, enabling them to better anticipate and cope with the negative effects of climate change. The regional strategy aims to help the region become more resilient, further structure its actions in this field, and acquire the necessary tools and resources to meet climate change challenges.
IOC launched the Acclimate project in late 2008, with financial support (1.7 million euros) from the Fonds français pour l'Environnement Mondial (FFEM), the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the French Development Agency (AFD) and the Regional Council of La Réunion island. Among the achievements of the Acclimate project, IOC highlights: improvement of the knowledge of the regional climate and its impacts; the strengthening of the capacity of the meteorological services of the IOC's member States (Comoros, Madagascar, Reunion (France), Mauritius and Seychelles); the launch of various awareness raising and training initiatives, such as a website, photo competitions and exhibitions, conferences and round-table events, training courses, and the co-financing of mobility grants to enable students from the region to follow a Master's Degree in Remote Sensing and Natural Hazards.
The regional adaptation strategy was technically validated in July 2012 and adopted in January 2013. It is designed to guide the actions of IOC cooperation in this field until 2020 and focuses on the following four sectors: food security, water, health and the environment. Other sectors will be treated in a second phase, including: natural disasters, infrastructure, transport, energy, and tourism. The strategy recommends putting in place the concepts of a regional observatory for climate and climate services. In order to implement the strategy and to ensure continuity of the Acclimate project activities, the 28th Council of Ministers of the IOC requested its Secretary General, Jean Claude de l'Estrac, to seek the necessary financial resources from international partners.
The IOC has also been mandated to conclude the signature of a partnership agreement with the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA, a joint international institution of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the EU).

Kim Perrotta is Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE)
A month ago the Financial Post published a commentary entitled "They keep saying shutting down coal will make us healthier, so how come there's no evidence of it?" written by Warren Kindzierski of the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. It seems a sad statement of our times that this article, which muddies the waters with incomplete facts and misleading information about coal plants, air pollution and human health, was published in the middle of an important debate about policies aimed at supporting the phase-out coal plants Canada-wide by 2030. The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment feels strongly that publication of the article was irresponsible. ...continue reading

Flu Season 2019-2020: Time for your immunization!It is the start of flu season in the northern hemisphere. Time to think about where YOU are going to be getting your seasonal flu shot (vaccine is available now and you should get your flu shot ASAP this year).
Remember that pulmonary infections and respiratory failure remain the #1 cause of death long-term in SCI, and it is very easy for the flu to turn into pneumonia or ARDS for someone with a SCI. Every year, 40,000 people in the USA die from seasonal flu. While the flu shot is not a 100% guarantee you will not get the flu, if you do, and were immunized, it will be less severe.
While flu activity usually peaks in January or February, the flu itself is unpredictable. And although there are many different flu viruses, the yearly flu vaccine protects against the three (standard) or four (high dose) viruses that research suggests will be most common that flu season.
Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year, especially if you are at high risk for complications or you live with or care for someone who is, including the following groups. The "high dose" (Fluzone High-Dose (HD-IIV3)) is recommended for those the highlighted group:
- Pregnant women
- Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old
- People 50 years of age and older
- People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (including SCI and spinal cord diseases).
- People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
- People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
- Health care workers
- Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
- Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
When and how often should I get vaccinated? Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every year by the end of October, if possible. However, getting vaccinated later is OK. Vaccination should continue throughout the flu season, even in January or later. Some children who have received flu vaccine previously and children who have only received one dose in their lifetime, may need two doses of flu vaccine. A health care provider can advise on how many doses a child should get.

Thursday 20 February 2020
On 14 July 2009 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published for public comment an exposure draft on Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement.
The proposals form part of the IASB's comprehensive review of financial instrument accounting. The proposals, which the IASB believes will significantly reduce complexity and make it easier for investors to understand financial statements, address how financial instruments are classified and measured. The proposals also answer concerns raised by interested parties during the financial crisis (for example, eliminating the different impairment approaches for available-for-sale assets and assets measured using amortised cost). The IASB plans to finalise the classification and measurement proposals in time for non-mandatory application in 2009 year-end financial statements.
The exposure draft was open for comment until 14 September 2009. The comment period is now closed.

This module provides ticket based access control. The theory behind this is similar to the system described in the eagle book.
This module works using HTTP cookies to check if a user is authorized to view a page. Apache::AuthCookie is used as the underlying mechanism for managing cookies.
This module was designed to be as extensible as possible. Its quite likely that you will want to create your own subclass of Apache::AuthTicket in order to customize various aspects of this module (show your own versions of the forms, override database methods etc).
This system uses cookies to authenticate users. When a user is authenticated through this system, they are issued a cookie consisting of the time, the username of the user, the expriation time of the cookie, a "secret" version (described later), and a cryptographic signature. The cryptographic signature is generated using the MD5 algorithm on the cookie data and a "secret" key that is read from a database. Each secret key also has a version number associated with it. This allows the site administrator to issue a new secret periodically without invalidating the current valid tickets. For example, the site administrator might periodically insert a new secret key into the databse periodically, and flush secrets that are more than 2 days old. Since the ticket issued to the user contains the secret version, the authentication process will still allow tickets to be authorized as long as the corresponding secrets exist in the ticket secrets table.
The actual contents and length of secret data is left to the site administrator. A good choice might be to read data from /dev/random, unpack it into a hex string and save that.
This system should be reasonably secure becuase the IP address of the end user is incorporated into the cryptographic signature. If the ticket were intercepted, then an attacker would have to steal the user's IP address in order to be able to use the ticket. Plus, since the tickets can expire automatically, we can be sure that the ticket is not valid for a long period of time. Finally, by using the Secure mode of Apache::AuthCookie, the ticket is not passed over unencrypted connections. In order to attack this system, an attacker would have to exploit both the MD5 algorightm as well as SSL. Chances are, by the time the user could break both of these, the ticket would no longer be valid.
There are two things you must do in order to configure this module:
1) configure your mod_perl apache server
2) create the necessary database tables.
Apache Configuration - httpd.conf
There are two ways that this module could be configured. Either by using a function call in startup.pl, or by configuring each handler explicitly in httpd.conf. If you decide to mix and match using calls to Apache::AuthTicket->configure() with directives in httpd.conf, then remember that the following precedence applies:
o If a directive is specified in httpd.conf, it will be used.
o else if a directive is specified by configure(), then the
configure() value will be used.
o else a default value will be used.
Default values are subject to change in later versions, so you are better of explicitly configuring all values and not relying on any defaults.
There are four blocks that need to be entered into httpd.conf. The first of these is the block specifying your access restrictions. This block should look somrthing like this:
<Location /foo>
AuthType Apache::AuthTicket
AuthName Foo
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthTicket->authenticate
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthTicket->authorize
require valid-user
The remaining blocks control how to display the login form, and the login and logout urls. These blocks should look similar to this:
<Location /foologinform>
AuthType Apache::AuthTicket
AuthName Foo
SetHandler perl-script
Perlhandler Apache::AuthTicket->login_screen
<Location /foologin>
AuthType Apache::AuthTicket
AuthName Foo
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::AuthTicket->login
<Location /foo/logout>
AuthType Apache::AuthTicket
AuthName Foo
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::AuthTicket->logout
Apache Configuration - startup.pl
Any Apache::AuthTicket configuration items can be set in startup.pl. You can configure an AuthName like this:
Apache::AuthTicket->configure(String auth_name, *Hash config)
Note that when configuring this way you dont prefix the configuration items with the AuthName value like you do when using PerlSetVar directives.
Note: You must still include Apache::AuthCookie configuration directives in httpd.conf when configuring the server this way. These items include:
PerlSetVar FooPath /
PerlSetVar FooDomain .foo.com
PerlSetVar FooSecure 1
PerlSetVar FooLoginScript /foologinform
example: Apache::AuthTicket->configure('Foo', { TicketDB => 'DBI:mysql:database=test;host=foo', TicketDBUser => 'mschout', TicketDBPassword => 'secret', TicketTable => 'tickets:ticket_hash:ts', TicketUserTable => 'myusers:usename:passwd', TicketPasswordStyle => 'cleartext', TicketSecretTable => 'ticket_secrets:sec_data:sec_version', TicketExpires => '15', TicketLogoutURI => '/foo/index.html', TicketLoginHandler => '/foologin', TicketIdleTimeout => 5 });
Valid configuration items are:
- TicketDB
This directive specifys the DBI URL string to use when connecting to the database. Also, you might consider overloading the dbi_connect method to handle setting up your db connection if you are creating a subclass of this module.
example: dbi:Pg:dbname=test
- TicketDBUser
This directive specifys the username to use when connecting to the databse.
- TicketDBPassword
This directive specifys the password to use when connecting to the databse.
- TicketTable
This directive specifys the ticket hash table as well as the column name for the hash.
Format: table_name:ticket_column_name:timestamp_column
Example: tickets:ticket_hash:ts
- TicketUserTable
This directive specifys the users table and the username and password column names.
Format: table_name:username_column:password_column
Example: users:usrname:passwd
- TicketPasswordStyle
This directive specifys what type of passwords are stored in the database. The default is to use cleartext passwords. Currently supported password styles are:
- cleartext
This password style is just plain text passwords. When using this password style, the supplied user password is simply compared with the password stored in the database.
- md5
This password style generates an MD5 hex hash of the supplied password before comparing it against the password stored in the database. Passwords should be stored in the database by passing them through Digest::MD5::md5_hex().
- crypt
This password style uses traditional crypt() to encrypt the supplied password before comparing it to the password saved in the database.
- TicketSecretTable
This directive specifys the server secret table as well as the names of the secret data column and the version column.
Format: table_name:data_column:version_column
Example: ticketsecrets:sec_data:sec_version
- TicketExpires
This directive specifys the number of minutes that tickets should remain valid for. If a user exceeds this limit, they will be forced to log in again.
This should not be confused with the inherited AuthCookie setting
Expire, which is the cookie expiration time.
TicketExpirescontrols the expiration of the ticket, not the cookie.
- TicketIdleTimeout
This directive specifys the number of minutes of inactivity before a ticket is considered invalid. Setting this value to 5 for example would force a re-login if no requests are recieved from the user in a 5 minute period.
The default for this value is 0, which disables this feature. If this number is larger than TicketExpires, then this setting will have no effect.
- TicketLogoutURI
This directive specifys the URL that the user should be sent to after they are successfully logged out (this is done via a redirect).
Example: /logged_out_message.html
- TicketCheckIP (default: on)
This controlls whether or not the client IP address is included in the ticket hash. The default is 'on'. If you turn this off, then the client ip address will not be checked. It is sometimes not desirable to check the client ip if the clients are behind load balancers and subsequent requests might come in from a different IP.
- TicketCheckBrowser (default: off)
This controlls whether or not the
USER_AGENTstring is included in the ticket hash. This can be used in conjunction with, or instead of
TicketCheckIPto prevent tampering with the ticket.
Database Configuration
Three database tables are needed for this module:
- users table
This table stores the actual usernames and passwords of the users. This table needs to contain at least a username and password column. This table is confgured by the TicketUserTable directive.
example: CREATE TABLE users ( usename VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, passwd VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL );
- tickets table
This table stores the ticket hash for each ticket. This information must be stored locally so that users can be forcefully logged out without worrying if the HTTP cookie doesn't get deleted.
example: CREATE TABLE tickets ( ticket_hash CHAR(32) NOT NULL, ts INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ticket_hash) );
- secrets table
This table contains the server secret and a numeric version for the secret. This table is configured by the TicketSecretTable directive.
example: CREATE TABLE ticketsecrets ( sec_version SERIAL, sec_data TEXT NOT NULL );
This is not a complete listing of methods contained in Apache::AuthTicket. Rather, it is a listing of methods that you might want to overload if you were subclassing this module. Other methods that exist in the module are probably not useful to you.
Feel free to examine the source code for other methods that you might choose to overload.
- void make_login_screen($r, String action, String destination)
This method creats the "login" screen that is shown to the user. You can overload this method to create your own login screen. The log in screen only needs to contain a hidden field called "destination" with the contents of destination in it, a text field named credential_0 and a password field named credential_1. You are responsible for sending the http header as well as the content. See Apache::AuthCookie for the description of what each of these fields are for.
action contains the action URL for the form. You must set the action of your form to this value for it to function correctly.
Apache::AuthTicket also provides a mechanism to determine why the login for is being displayed. This can be used in conjunction with Apache::AuthCookie's "AuthCookieReason" setting to determine why the user is being asked to log in. Apache::AuthCookie sets $r->prev->subprocess_env("AuthCookieReason") to either "no_cookie" or "bad_cookie" when this page is loaded. If the value is "no_cookie" then the user is being asked to log in for the first time, or they are logging in after they previously logged out. If this value is "bad_cookie" then Apache::AuthTicket is asking them to re-login for some reason. To determine what this reason is, you must examine $r->prev->subprocess_env("AuthTicketReason"). AuthTicketReason can take the following values:
- malformed_ticket
This value means that the ticket is malformed. In other words, the ticket does not contain all of the required information that should be present.
- invalid_hash
This value means that the hash contained in the ticket does not match any values in the tickets database table. This might happen if you are periodically clearing out old tickets from the database and the user presents a ticket that has been deleted.
- expired_ticket
This value means that the ticket has expired and the user must re-login to be issued a new ticket.
- missing_secret
This value means that the server secret could not be loaded.
- idle_timeout
This value means that the user has exceeded the TicketIdleTimeout minutes of inactivity, and the user must re-login.
- tampered_hash
This value indicates that the ticket data does not match its cryptographic signature, and the ticket has most likely been tampered with. The user is forced to re-login at this point.
You can use these values in your make_login_screen() method to display a message stating why the user must login (e.g.: "you have exceeded 5 minutes of inactivity and you must re-login").
- DBI::db dbi_connect()
This method connects to the TicketDB data source. You might overload this method if you have a common DBI connection function. For example:

Just whatever, dinner, we'll see where it goes?...
I am not really looking for a date. I am looking for friends just to hang out with. It could be a mall or a cafe or just at a party. It is not real important to me about dating. I am married so I don't date if you will.
Hanging out at the dog park just talking and having fun watching all the animals play. A nice relaxed public environment. : )
someplace quiet so we can ask questions and get to know each other
relaxing by the river with a few drinks and some food i love to go by the st. johns
Take a ride by the ocean.Stop and get some good food. Take it from there.

I just love these. I starting making them about this time last year, and now I have re-discovered them again.
I first saw these over on Sonjas beautiful blog Det bla huset. Sonja is really the queen of these hearts, and you can see them on her header picture.
She lives in a blue house next to one of Norways amazing fjords, where she creates some lovely things.
What you will need :-
A useful tool is one of these leather punches, I think possibly the holes could be made with something else, but it might be tricky. I got this one from amazon and used it on the number 2 setting.
A small 1.5 crochet hook and some embroidery floss.
A heart shape cardboard stencil.
Wool stuffing.
Once you have cut out the fabric and punched the holes at regular intervals, you can crochet around the edge. Here you can see 2 double crochet (UK) in each hole.
Starting at the top of the heart crochet around until about 2 inches before finishing. Push in the wool using a large crochet hook and shape.
Then finish the crochet and continue into making a loop for hanging.
There is a little bit of a fiddle factor to these! I think they look good when they are nice and plump.
Sonja has a tutorial here. She also uses an iron on fabric before cutting out the hearts and they do look wonderfully neat! You can see some more of her creations here, here and here.

10000 Miles an Hour! (Aug, 1938)
10000 Miles an Hour!
Rocket flights of tomorrow will circle the earth in 3 hours—maybe.
WALK past almost any flowered field or meadow from Connecticut to California these fine summer afternoons and as likely as not you'll see little knots of agitated men puttering with strange-looking contraptions which hiss and let off gaseous odors. Edge over to satisfy your curiosity and some of them will come running up warningly to shoo you away.
There's a good reason for the presence of so many mysterious looking men. Rocketry is making tremendous strides in its development as an embryonic science. Over the past winter there have been many important developments in cellar and garret workshops everywhere. Under the clear skies of July and August tests are being made to ascertain their practical value.
For one thing, a dozen new motors—combustion chambers with their flame-emitting nozzles—are undergoing trials. Tests now in progress have definitely passed rocketry from the hobby to the engineering stage. Its rule of thumb days are over, its votaries the aerial giants of tomorrow.
In this transition the two basic problems of the science have been conquered, to-wit: how to use and control explosive and volatile fuels and how to burn them properly to gain the necessary thrust or recoil in take-offs. This procedure is facilitated by the fact that the fuels now used—oxygen and gasoline mixture or oxygen and alcohol—are not in themselves explosive. They are easy to feed to the combustion chamber, too. Liquid oxygen is automatically forced from its tank into the burning compartment by the pressure of its own evaporation.
Gasoline or alcohol is pressed inside by compressed carbon dioxide or nitrogen. Flow of the intermingling fuels also is controlled by valves.
Moreover, rocket men have developed motors with sufficient thermal efficiency—about 10 per cent—for present experimental shooting requirements. In addition a number of smaller problems relating to dynamics and aerodynamics have been solved or nearly solved.
Armed with these substantial achievements experimenters confidently believe that rocket flights of 25 miles are close at hand, flights of 100 miles around the corner and flights across the Atlantic a definite possibility within our lifetime. More, they believe there is plenty of theoretical basis and some evidence for the conviction that given enough money, power, experimental data, they could shoot their devices to the moon.
Although such flights at present are only in the realm of speculation, rocket ships for them have been designed and the problems of their propulsion and navigation worked out on paper. Ocean-flying rockets would be shaped like a needle, hermetically sealed and steered with gyroscopic fins. Of several compartments, the front of the rocket would be occupied by passengers and crew. Abaft of them would be the fuel tanks, the motor, gyroscope and parachute for descending.
Loaded and ready for a flight, say from Long Island to London, the Atlantic rocket would be assisted in its takeoff by some auxiliary. It might be pushed by a powerful locomotive on a sloping rail, catapulted by a titanic wheel or hurled from a cannon's maw after the fashion of Jules Verne's projectile.
Once in the air, the rocket would soar through the stratosphere at an estimated maximum of 10,000 miles an hour, about 2-3/4 miles a second. After describing a parabola at 600 miles, its power would be shut off—by cutting the fuel tanks—and the rocket would coast to its destination. A few miles before landing a parachute released from the rear would check the terrific speed. Thus controlled, the ship would slide to a rest on a wheeled car in a long runway!
Such a flight, it is estimated, would be made in 50 minutes!
Compared with these ambitions actual accomplishments in the air no doubt have been small. Yet they have been no less substantial. Mail, for instance, has been shot over the mountains near Graz in Austria. A live rooster has been catapulted in a rocket over a river in India. There have been rocket glider flights in Germany; test flights of rocket-propelled pilotless planes at Greenwood Lake, N. Y.
Dozens of dry and liquid fuel rockets, of course, have been sent up with varying success. At present the altitude record for a rocket stands at 7,500 feet. It is credited to Dr. Robert H. Goddard, dean of rocket experimenters. He set it at his laboratory near Roswell, New Mexico, in May, 1935. Doctor Goddard's rocket attained a speed of 700 miles an hour.
Dr. Goddard launches his rockets from a 60-foot rack. The rockets are about 12 feet long, 9 inches in diameter, weigh from 30 to 80 pounds. The actual motor is about 5% inches in diameter and weighs about five pounds. Fueled by gasoline and oxygen, these rockets are steered by a delicate gyroscope whose spinning wheels, affected by any change in direction, control vanes guiding the course of the exhaust flames.
Firing, which Colonel Charles Lindbergh, a rocket enthusiast, has witnessed as Doctor Goddard's guest, is simple. The fueled rocket is put on the rack and ignited by a fuse set off electrically from a telegraph key. A blast of white flame issues from the nozzle, and with a terrifying swish the rocket slowly rises from the tower. In a flash it is zooming like a thousand hissing vipers in the sky. The rocket undulates from side to side as the gyro continually corrects its skyward course. On one flight. Doctor Goddard reported, the rocket reminded him of a fish swimming in a vertical direction.
Doctor Goddard has developed motors of sufficient strength to resist the effects of constant filing and he believes he has the stabilizer problem licked. Currently, he is working on weight reduction of his rockets.
As recognition of the public's inquiring mind, the New York World's Fair has prepared a transportation unit with a hypothetical rocket car.
In Germany it is reported the military scientists there have developed a rocket cannon capable of shooting a thousand miles.
The United States Weather Bureau in Washington has been keenly watching developments. It has agreed when rocket men are ready, to allow them the use of delicate instruments which are now taken aloft for observation by small balloons and airplanes.
Just what is a rocket? Well, a rocket is simply a variation of your own Fourth of July skyrocket, with its hollow tube and pointed cap containing a smaller cylinder of compressed gunpowder. You light its fuse, the flame runs up and ignites the powder which blows off with a hiss through an opening at the base of the tube. It blows off because the burning powder produces gas which expands causing a pressure that forces it out. The reaction thus produced causes the skyrocket to develop a thrust in the opposite direction —the thrust being equal to the mass of the ejected gas multiplied by its velocity. This recoil is independent of the surrounding air; it is like the kick of a gun. It operates in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, i.e., the force acting on the gases to eject them from the rocket has an equal and opposite reaction on the rocket itself.
What are the main stumbling blocks to perfect rocket flights today? First is a motor that will not burn out from the intense heat of combustion. The solution appears to lie in cooling the motor by its own fuels circulating through its walls. Several motors of this type now are being tested. They are called regenerative motors. A most likely design is one by Mr. Wyld, a young Princeton engineer hitherto mentioned. Mr. Wyld's motor is about 14 inches long and weighs a little more than a pound. It is made of aluminum. The nozzle, where the heat is fiercest in rockets—sometimes 3,000 degrees F.—is very thin nicrom. The fuel flows through a jacket on the outside of the motor. It cools the motor and simultaneously carries the heat back to it. The cooling process fights off heat in the same way water running through metal resists an acetylene torch.
The second problem, now close to solution, involves stabilization of the rocket in flight. Recently tests to this end were completed by experimenters of the American Rocket Society at Pawling, New York. The results of these tests form the working basis of new rocket body designs now being given tryouts. At Pawling, seven different models of rockets conceived by society members were put through the hurdles. All of them wore constructed of balsa wood and cardboard tubing, the work of H. F. Pierce.
Rocket men everywhere are waiting for the results of summer activities. Out of them may emerge a motor and its appurtenances which may take the rocket out of its Kitty Hawk era. If this happens, you can expect to see rockets gathering weather air mass data, carrying messages and mail in war and peace, and soon after short trips with human beings, say from New York to Cleveland or Washington.
For the present we'll postpone that moon trip, for it is estimated a rocket capable of getting there would have to be as big as the Empire State Building and would cost a paltry $1,000,000,000!

The healing ministry of Jesus Christ is a primary task of the Church. This work describes the healing ministry of the Church as it is expressed in Scripture, Tradition, and the liturgical life, focusing particularly on the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. The author discusses both the history and theology of this sacrament, which has its roots in the Tradition of the Church as expressed in James 5.14(–) 15: "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." The theology of this rite embraces the whole person and addresses the connection between sin and sickness, and the disintegrating power of illness on a person and the reintegrating power of grace. A new translation of the rite is appended, as well as an abbreviated version for use in a hospital or home setting.
Based on an exacting investigation into the history of the rite, the author makes compelling proposals for recapturing its original spirit in Orthodox Church parishes, at a time when the care of the sick a matter of grave concern. — V. Rev. Fr. M Daniel Findikyan Ph.D., St Nersess Armenian Seminary

State officials say it's important to give the public a chance to walk across the dazzling new eastern span of the Bay Bridge when it opens Labor Day weekend, even if it costs taxpayers $5.6 million.
Other recent grand celebrations of public projects don't even come close.
Taxpayers shelled out nothing for the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary extravaganza in 2012, an over-the-top Memorial Day weekend gala that culminated in a parade of ships and a dazzling light and fireworks show. The price tag has not been disclosed but a private foundation raised all the money.
And the San Francisco Giants picked up the $1 million production tab for October's World Series parade, with the city on the hook for just $225,000 for police overtime, transit and cleanup, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"Clearly, it would be preferable if private money could be raised to cover all the costs," said state Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Mark DeSaulnier of Concord. "That said, this is the public's bridge and they deserve this once-in-a-century opportunity to walk on their bridge. If it takes some public dollars to make it a safe event, then so be it. I'm not going to second-guess the experts about what that should cost."
The new $6.4 billion Bay Bridge may be the world's largest self-anchored suspension span and California's most expensive public works project in history, but the sources of private dollars for its grand opening party were always limited.
The workhorse lacks the deep symbology of its iconic neighbor or its natural viewing arena already served by multiple forms of transit, said Bay Area Toll Authority spokesman Randy Rentschler, who defended the Toll Authority's plan to spend $5.6 million collected from bridge tolls.
"We want this to be a public event and since not everyone runs or bicycles, we think people should be able to access the bridge without paying directly for it," Rentschler said. "To have a public event, we have to provide transportation, portable toilets, water, security and the like. That all costs money. "
The money will be spent solely on security, logistics and transportation costs associated with allowing up to 125,000 people walk the full length of the span from Oakland to San Francisco during a free public celebration on the day before it opens to traffic on Sept. 3. Half a million dollars will go for registration and ticketing; nearly $2 million to bus folks to the toll plaza to begin the walk. By contrast, tollpayers were tapped a total of $300,000 in public access costs for the 2003 Carquinez Bridge opening celebration, during which 10,000 people walked across the span. A private group raised funds for the fireworks and related events.
For the Bay Bridge party, the Bay Bridge Alliance, a private nonprofit, is also raising money for two runs and a bicycle race, where participants will pay entry fees.
Acting state Business, Transportation and Housing Secretary Brian Kelly, an appointee of Gov. Jerry Brown whose agency oversees Caltrans, said it would be preferable to raise private funds, but agreed it was appropriate to spend toll money on public safety and access costs. His stance is markedly different from a few months ago when his agency dumped a $10 million bridge PR contract after taking issue with its three-year term and plans for a documentary book and movie.
"Ideally, costs for an opening celebration should — to the extent possible — be met by privately raised funds, while things like public access and public safety may appropriately be funded with public money, if that is what the Bay Area Toll Authority decides," Kelly said in a statement late Thursday.
Organizers expect as many as 200,000 people will flock to the new Bay Bridge opening given the 280,000 commuters who cross the bridge each day and the thousands of people who worked on the bridge and will want to bring their families to celebrate. But they will not all be allowed to walk across it.
"We absolutely cannot have happen at this event what happened on the Golden Gate Bridge's 50th anniversary," said Rentschler, referring to the ill-fated day in 1987 when organizers expected 50,000 people. Instead, an estimated 800,000 people attempted to walk across the span and the weight actually flattened the suspended deck.

Greenwood student hit by car in crosswalk
Greenwood Police Chief said a middle school student was hit by a car; the accident happened after 7 a.m. Thursday morning near the school at Hwy 10 and Ridgecrest.
A Greenwood Middle School student was walking in the crosswalk on his way to school and was hit by a car going east on Hwy 10. The crosswalk is not in a school zone.
The boy was taken to a hospital in Fort Smith with a possible broken leg, according to police.
The Chief says the school's crossing guards get there at 7:30 a.m., and were not present when the accident happened. He said it was very dark and that may have contributed to the accident.
Police said they are looking for a 7th grade girl who was with the boy when the accident happened and may have ran home to get help.
Police said the driver, a woman, was shaken up; they have not said if she will face charges or a ticket.

Was music better back in your day than it is today?
Damn kids! Get off my lawn!
I think that music is all relative. Like in the 90s, Grunge rock was awesome, but boy bands sucked hardcore. So I don't think things are all black and white.
Best decade of music? It would have to be the 80s. ...1780s that is. Come on, Beethoven AND Mozart rocking the music halls? How can you beat that?!

Former Sanford Seminole linebacker Serderius Bryant has seen a whirlwind of change and run through a gamut of emotions during his time at the University of Mississippi.
The junior has gone from being an All-SEC Freshman selection in 2011, to not even playing in some games last year. He's had two different coaching staffs and even considered transferring.
Credit the Sentinel's 2010 Central Florida Defensive Player of the Year for his perseverance. This past Saturday he got his chance again. Placed in the starting lineup for an injured Denzel Nkemdiche (torn meniscus), 'Bird,' Bryant's nickname, had for a career-high 15 tackles to not only help Ole Miss roll past Southeast Missouri 31-13, but the Rebels also entered the Top 25 at No. 25.
"I got the chance to start and I wanted to shock the world," Bryant said via text. "It felt great. It felt like high school again, and now it's time for the Bird to take back off and never stop flying."
Bryant will be back in the starting lineup this weekend against Texas, which fell out of the Top 25 after getting blown out at BYU. Nkemdiche is expected to be out another two-to-four weeks.

Autumn / Winter 2019 Overcoats Collection
This is a curated collection of new season classic wool overcoats. A overcoat is meant to be worn over a suit jacket or a blazer and because of that, it's usually a little wider. You can also decide not to wear it with a jacket and simply get a slimmer silhouette, but it helps to keep in mind what you want to wear it with so you get the right fit.Shop now

The National Immigrant Justice Center's (NIJC's) three-year Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation resulted in 2015 in the most comprehensive public release to date of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration detention center contracts and inspections. The thousands of pages of documents provide an unprecedented look into a failed system that lacks accountability, shields DHS from public scrutiny, and allows local governments and private prison companies to brazenly maximize profits at the expense of basic human rights. The project continues to obtain and analyze government documents and other records that shine a light on the obscure U.S. immigration enforcement and detention system.

They buffed the SAW. I want to know how you justify that. It was already a death laser, now it's arguably the most powerful weapon in the game.
Drew, have you ever wielded a SAW? Have you ever picked one up and just let loose, screaming the requisite timing phrase so you don't melt that barrel down at full-auto? You're damn right it's a death laser.

We don't require much to become a Deadspin Hall Of Fame nominee. It helps to have done something embarrassing, or at least epic enough to linger permanently in the collective memory. Or, in a pinch, you can just take a picture of your penis and show it to your fellow ESPN employees.
Yeah, that will definitely do it. When you add in his accidental dropping of "Jew," his protest too much rant and new found Balls friendship, we think he's more than qualified. And that's not even accounting for his trenchant NFL analysis!
But is he a Hall of Famer? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open until next Monday morning.

No joke: Bob Hope's futuristic Palm Springs house can be yours for $50 million
Bob Hope's jokes might have gotten a little stale by the 1970s--but not his taste in architecture.
In the early 1970s, the legendary comedian who got his big break in the 1920s at the old Stratford Theater at 63rd and Halsted hired famed architect John Lautner to design a modern and quite expansive six-bedroom home in Palm Springs, CA.
The house's backstory is more befitting a drama than a comedy. Lautner reportedly fell out with Hope and his wife Dolores over the couple's changes to his design. And unrelated to the contretemps, the place burned down in 1973 while under construction. Now that all history--and the house--can be yours for $50 million.
Hope's daughter, Linda, told the New York Times this week the home was a second residence for the couple and was frequently used for entertaining, sometimes as many as 300 guests at once.
"She absolutely adored the place," Linda Hope said of her mother. "My dad did, too."
Built for $3 million, the hilltop house is all curves, particularly its mushroom-like roof that has a huge oculus for a light shaft at its center. And although Palm Springs has an eye-popping collection of top-notch midcentury architecture, the Hope's 23,000 square foot joint stood apart. Even Hope himself joked the house's size.
"When it is finished, it will make Bing Crosby's house look like an outdoor privy," he said in a June 1973 Associated Press story. "That house will be so big, you could hold next year's Super Bowl game in it."
(Bing Crosby's house listed for $3.4 million in 2011.)
The home caught fire a month after Hope made those quips. The blaze was large enough to draw spectators and the entire Palm Springs fire department. The home was rebuilt in 1979. Hope died in 1993 at age 100. His wife Dolores died at 102 in 2011. Lautner died in 1994 at age 83.
A $50 million price tag is steep, though, even for Palm Springs. Actor William Holden's nearby modernist house was on the market for $4.4 million in 2011, but is "only" 8,000 square feet.
You can see more images of the Hope house here at Haute Living. You'll also see the house's original projected asking price was $45 million last November. He who hesitates, I suppose.

THE TOUGH CUSTOMER- Shock and Aw... A surge that didn't result in victory
When Susan Reed got home from work on August 6, there was a burning smell in her home.
Reed soon discovered that a power surge, apparently the result of a problem in the neutral power line coming into her Woodbrook subdivision home, had come through the line.
The surge burned out several electrical outlets, Reed says, and fried about $1,300 of personal electronics gear. Reed wonders whether it caused further damage to the wiring behind her walls.
Dominion performed temporary repairs to ensure safety, and told Reed more permanent repairs would be completed in three to four weeks. Recently, when a contractor replaced a cover plate on an outlet, he discovered some burned wires inside, so in order to rest easy, Reed says, she will have to hire an electrician to check things out.
Reed filed a claim with Dominion for the ruined electronics and other expenses, but Dominion, denying negligence on its part, refused to offer any damage compensation.
Ken Schrad, a spokesman for the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the state agency that regulates Dominion, says he is unfamiliar with Reed's specific case, and declines to scold the utility. Given the magnitude of Dominion's operations, he says, there is always a risk of a "glitch in the system," either because of equipment failure or an "act of God," such as lightening.
Dominion, Schrad says, would not be liable unless the customer could prove "outright negligence." He says it's up to Reed's homeowner's insurance to cover any damages, and given the fact that breakdowns and lightening strikes are inevitable, Schrad suggests consumers protect their electronic equipment with surge protectors.
But that's not the end of Reed's story.
Reed came home in early September to find a section of the fence surrounding her property partially removed and a backhoe parked in her yard.
Reed was bothered by the removal of the fence because she has dogs she lets out in the yard. She was also bothered by the failure of Dominion to call her before coming to her home or leaving equipment there. That's just "common courtesy," Reed says.
Reed also says that the company left her with a broken concrete walkway and failed to replace the section of fence. Reed's husband did the repairs himself.
That would seem to violate Dominion policy. According to company spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson, Dominion will restore property to the same condition it was in before the utility performed the work, except Dominion will only re-seed lawns, not lay down sod.
Reed says her yard was partially re-seeded.
Anderson takes issue with Reed's version of events. She claims that Dominion's subcontractor advised her they repaired the concrete walk in Reed's yard. Anderson also says the Dominion subcontractor did not remove the fence in the first place– that some other contractor at the Reed house at the time did so– so the Dominion subcontractor did not replace it when they left.
Reed denies there was another contractor at her house at the time Dominion brought the backhoe.
Anderson agrees it would have been common courtesy for Dominion to notify Reed before leaving equipment in her yard, but she says the utility believed in good faith that its earlier discussions with Reed had been sufficient notice.
"The bottom line is this: We want our customers to be happy," says Anderson adding that if Reed was unhappy about the work done at her house, "We encourage her to give us a call." Reed says she'll call.
Anderson points out that homeowners typically use shrubs, fences and other objects to try to hide unsightly electrical meters, or unknowingly place walkways, play equipment, or other yard projects over buried cables or other utilities. She urges homeowners to be aware that Dominion may need access to equipment at their home before installing such aesthetic items, and to check with services like Miss Utility (dial 811) to locate buried utility lines, even if you don't plan on excavation, to avoid future headaches such as broken walkways, should repairs prove necessary.
