♦Special to The New-York V-*bune by Fr«Kh Cable.*
Paris. Aug. 2.-General De Gallirfet's "Sou
venirs." which are being published in column
instalments three times a week in the "Gaulois"
and "Journal dcs Debats," continue to provide
material for midsummer conversation. Indeed,
wm* one is talking about them, especially the
incident which occurred when General Galliffet
vu a prisoner o f war at Ems in IS7O. He re
lates that the Prince of W'al«* sent his equerry
to him asking if he could be of any s ervlee. offer
ing to provide him with money or anything h«
might need.
General Galliffet thanked the Prince of Wales.
said he needed nothing but his liberty, and asked
the Fr;nc. if be could not persuade his brother
ir.-law, th* Crown Prince of Prussia, to release
him. he <Galliffet> being ready to give his word
of honor that ne. *■•■;:-; noi serve in any other
grade in the French army during the rest of the
■war except that of private soldier.
The Prince cf Wales wrote back t«>n days
afterward that he had ocmmunicated with the
Crevn Prinre and King William, and boh
"w»re deeply impressed with th<» soldierly spirit
thus manifested by you. and I hope in a few
'days you will be free and happy. Don't forget
that I am personally quite as responsibU for
your word of engagement .->.« you are. a responsi
bility that I gladly assumed at the King's own
Two days afterward, however, came the fol
lowing letter from the Prince of Wales: "Bad
luck. Tou can no longer count upon what I had
hoped to obtain for you. The King felt obliged
to consult Moltke, who said: 'Galllffet's request
s:ight be granted^ in any ordinary war, but I
now object to it because the French nation is in
euch a state of extraordinary nervous tension
and overexcitement that would only be increased
by Galllffet's act. His requsst does him great
honor, but in my opinion it should not under
present circumstances be granted.' This settled
the matter, and I am exceedingly eorry for you."
Another arousing revelation is given by Gen
eral Gailiffet in his recollections of Gambetta,
whom he u^ed to meet frequently at dinner at
the house of Mme. Juliette Adam. General Gal
llffe' relates that "n« evening in ISBO he asked
Gainbetta and Skobeleft to din* with with him
at a. eosey little dinner at the Caf£ Anglais.
His two guests watched each other very closely
and lite little. General GalliflTet was somewhat
mortified, because neither the statesman nor the
r.oldier deigned to do more"than toy with s su
perb Rouennais preyed duck, which afterwards
figured on the bill for <Vt franc* (or $12). Their
principal conversation was their contention as to
which of the two knew personally the grtatest
number of dangerous political conspirators.
They each cited a coupl* of dozen, and asked
him to be Judge in their dispute. He was
amazed to find what sort of persons they both
knew, but he wae unable to decide as to whether
Gambetta or Skobeleff had gained the prize.
Secretary Boot and Ambassador Porter have
had * most cordial welcome in Paris and are
feted right and left. Another incident illustrat
ing the pleasant relations between th» Amer
icans and the French occurred yesterday during
the distribution cf prizes of the College Janson
<ie Saiily, in the grand hall cf the Trocadero.
It was the delicate attention shown by Captain
■ Delarue,* delegate of the Minister of War, to a
Wem Point cadet. Paul Clark, who is spending
ay few. days Jn Paris. Next to the captain On the
platform the cadet sat and was in the full uni
form of the United States Military Academy.
■^•"hen the boys of the special class preparatory
to the St. Cyr French Military Academy were
called to. receive their pr'.2es. Cadet Clark was
-requested to award " them, which he did very
gracefully, complimenting the young men In
excellent French, while the whole audience ap
plauded vociferously.
France continues to pay creat attention to
submarine vessel*. Gustave Zede has arrived at
Marseilles from Cette and entered the old port
of Marseilles completely ' submerged. The sub
marine Gnome has been launched at Rochefort.
Rear Admiral Fournier has issued a general
order, in course of which he states that the sub
marines Narval. Silure. Triton and Sireze ac
complished a remarkable feat by proceeding
from Cherbourg to Brest in rough weather with
out assistance.
Apart from priest ridden Brittany, where the
picturesque scenes of the entire rural popula
tion up in arms with scythes and pitchforks to
protect the good Sister recalls the days of the
wars of the Vendee, the excitement, especially in
Paris, has considerably subsided. During this
cool, bracing summer weather Parisians cannot
be expected to let a Sunday pass by without a
little family outing on the Place de la Concorde
and a brisk exchange of -epartee just to keep
up the Parisian reputation for effervescence. But
there is nothing at all serious in this so far as
Paris is concerned, for the majority of the citi
zens ask if the associations want to remain
in France why don't they comply with the laws,
which, after all. are net more stringent than is
required in the I'nlted States or England for
corporations or associations.
The demonstration of Frenchwomen like that
of the socialist counter df ionstration arranged
for Sunday is by no means dangerous. The
latter is mere'y a junketing holiday outing to
celebrate the anniversary of the death of
Etienne Dolet. the French scholar, who was
hanged and burned as a heretic August 3. 1540.
If the socialists meant real mischief they would
not hark rack 10 the beginning of the sixteenth
century to invoke a hero for their manifesta
The experiments mad- on the roads near Saint
Germain and Versailles with sprinkling crude
petroleum to prevent dust are highly successful
and will be largely extended to other routes
near Paris. Lyons, Nice and Marseilles to an
extent likely to increase th-» French demand for
American petroleum. There is also an increaesd
demand for American agricultural implements,
which r.re in greater favor than ever here Just
now, and the government's action in granting
the request made by New-Caledonia to import
foreign agriculturil implements free of duty
may perhaps be followed by similar action in
regard to other French colonies.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau seems quite a new
man after his Scandinavian trip in his friend
Gaston Menier's yacht Ariane. during which
f».7iV» miles were accomDlished in six weeks.
The *-x-Premier is now in robust health,
bronzed and rudfly in complexion. During the
voyage he painted eighteen land and sea scenes
In oil. drew fifteen crayon caricature portraits,
and finished six water color sketches, and wrote
a little one act comedy, which was acted on
board the yacht with great s-uccess. His gTeat
«st piscatorial feat was the capture of a twenty
*wo pound salmon.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau is reticent about the
political allusions indulged in during his long
chats with the German Emperor in the port of
Odde, but has confided to a few personal friends
that Kaiser Wilhelm spoke French with per
fection and fluency, the only criticism being
that Emperor William's accent was a trifle too
Parisian for strict academic requirements.
At the dinner given on the Hohcnzollern by
♦he Emperor to M. Waldeck-Rcusseau. the
names of all the dishes of the menu were in
•"Vie French language, the champagne was
French, and all the selections of music played
by th. Imperial band were by French com
posers. The talented and versatile Kaiser, as he
Is speken of by the ex-Premier, completely fas
cinated his guests by his intimate knowledge
of Paris and his bright and sparkling wit and
humor, far more Gallic than Teuton.
Emperor William quoted passages from the
latest plays of Lavedan and Capus. and his
dramatic criticism of the leading French play
writers and French actors and actresses was in
ever>* tvay as Parisian as those of Lasroumet
or Faguet.
M. and Mme. Waldeck-Rousseau, now at their
country place Corbell, will soon start for Brit
tany, and intend visiting Guernsey early in Sep

CORONATION tPREPARATIONS.-New prepar
ations for the coronation of King Edward, which
is to take place on August 9. are proceeding rather
mechanically. The erection of the familiar street
barriers, the cleaning and decorating of the
stands and the rehanging of decorations attract
slight attention. The outward preparations are M

ceedings l« rekindled by official assurance that
the King is going on finely and 13 ready to bear
the fatigue of being crowned * week from to-day.
The publication of the official programme of the
procession shows no especial changes from the
original arrangements, but the ceremonies in
Westminster Abbey have been curtailed by the
omission of the Litany and sermon, and by the

Chautauqua, N. V.. Aug. 2.— President Schurman
of Cornell University to-day delivered an address
on "The Philippine Problem" before the Chautau
qua. Assembly. He spoke in part as follows:
The Philippine question has passed into a new
stage, though the public seem unaware of it and
the newspapers have not noticed it. Certain mat
ters of groat interest in the. past have nowbe^n
definitely eliminated. It is Idle now to discuss, the
wisdom or the unwisdom of our acceptance of
Spain's cession of sovereignty over the archipul
ago. The fact of our sovereignty Is Indisputably
established, both by the force of treaty and the
force of arms. I «as one of those who advocated
l*avin,x the archipelago in the enfeebled grasp of
Spain, but the American people, who made war on
Spain for the emancipation of Cuba, would not
consent, co President McKinley felt, to leave the
Filipinos at the clos« of the war victims of the
same oppression. Sentiment and enthusiasm were
reinforced by jingoism, by optimism and by p'.on
teous ignorance. But what boots it to pursue the
matter further? Whether by will or not the Fili
pinos are ours. Th» destiny of the Filipinos is in
our hands, and great as our responsibility may be
to humanity and to Providence, our sovereignty
itself is absolutely unimpeachable. So. too. we
have no further concern with the government set
up by Aguinaldo. nor with Aguinaldo himself.
Both are jggijea of the past. Men - may dispute
whether that government represented the inhab
itants of the Philippines or not. It certainly did
not represent the Moros and heathen of the south
ern islands, and as far as I could make out In 183?.
it did not represent the majority of the Christian
Inhabitants of Luzon and the Visayas The Chris
tian Filipinos have undoubtedly heen drawn to
gether by three years of fighting against the -white
man. But that fighting has gone on independently
of Agulnaldo's Philippine Republic, whose brief
existence was entirely embraced within the- year
1899. And at that period as I have said, it ap
peared to be less a national than a local organ
ization. . : :•
Aguinaldo himself has on the one hand been
. branded as a brigane" and on the other, glorlfkd a3
a George Washington. The time has not yet come
impartially to appraise his character. Perhaps it
may appear hereafter, that he was an able and
honest and patriotic champion of national inde
pendence, who was not always scrupulous In the
choice of means for the attainment of his ends, and
who. besides, had his own full share of personal
ambition and love of place and power. Be that as
it may. he. is now a private citizen, and the. un
proven offences once Imputed to him are entitled to
the- generous oblivion with which the President's
proclamation of amnesty formally invests his offi
cial acts. In his own country he is likely to be
and remain a great influence in support of the ex
isting government. That any men or set of men
in this country should go on denouncing and de
faming; him seems to me the height of unwisdom,
to say nothing of its Injustice. Let the past be
forgotten. Let us think of Aguinaldo r»s an In
fluential Filipino who may help us to shape aright
the political destinies of his country.
There is another issue also, which now happily
belongs to the past. During the spring and early
summer the newspapers abounded in reports of
atrocities committed by American officers and
soldiers in the Philippines. History shows that
whenever the white race, and especially the Anglo-
Saxon branch of it, comes Into conflict with a
colored race, its bearing ia apt to be arrogant and
contemptuous, and it seldom falls to repay the
barbarities practised by the enemy with ferocious
cruelty. This tendency, inherent in the blood, was
fostered by the hardships of the Philippine cam
paign, the intolerable climate, the elusive tactics
and the atrocious practices of some of the insur
gents. The American army, as a whole clung to
its ancient discipline and maintained its untar
nished honor: but here and there an officer or a
private succumbed. The natural and proper course
for all good citizens under the circumstances was
to Insist that the guilty be punished, and the good
name of the army and of the nation vindicated
thereby, Unhappily, th" matter was discussed
with the heat and rancor of partisan politic*, and
for a time It threatened to be an issue, if not the
Issue. In the next Congress elections. But Pres
ident Roosevelt. &a commander in chief of th<»
army, decided that all the facts' should be for
warded to him. with no attempr to conceal any
thing or to spare anybody, and. after an exhaus
tive and Judicial investigation, he has executed the
moral Indignation the nation by the condign pun
ishment of the prinrioal offender. Nor has Gen
eral Chaffee fallen behind his . ommander in chief
In his revision of the findings of the courts martial
in Manila. The total result Is that the honor of
the nation Is satisfied, the good name of the army
vindicated and th»j watchfulness of the public re
wardol. while tUn charg» of cruelty on the part
of American officers against the Filipinos disappears
as a political Issue. Indeed, as by the President'
proclamation of July 4 military government is to
be replaced by civil government among all th«
< hrlstlan people nf the Philippine?, and the army
remains merely as an instrument of the. civil
power, the posaibilitv of n y recrudescence of these
exceptional Irregularities or cruelties is effectually
precluded. Not only have offenders been punished".
out the new jjovernment conditions render any
repetition of the offences practically impossible m
all Luzon and the Vlsayan Islands."
Let the u>a.l past bury its dead. The Philippine
problem is no longer a question of the conduct
or tne army, or of a few men In th" army, lr Is
no longer a question of the character of Agulnaldo.
't Is no longer a question of the jurisdiction of the
Philippine republic of 1S»; It is no longer a ques
tion or the validity of American sovereignty over
the archipelago or of the wisdom of the policy of
assumlnsr it. These, all ..re Issues of the past. The i
pacification of the archipelago, the official an
nouncement of the termination of hostilities, the
ptoclamatlon of amnesty. and the substitution of
civil for military control, all bring us In sight of
war problems. At the heart of them all I think
you will find this question: Wh.it is to be th* po
litical status of the Inhabitants of the Phlllpptno
Islands? Or. mor» particularly, what is to be the
political status of the &500.Q00 civilized ani Chris
tianized Filipinos of Luzon and the Vl-<ayas?
The first Philippine Commission reported In 1599
that Agulnaldo did not represent the Philippine
people, but only a section of them: that th« ma
jority were either Indifferent to the question of
American sovereignty or accepted it. or acquiesced
in It. that men of education ud property, many !
of whom had discussed the matter with the com- I
mission, were peculiarly favorable to the Ameri- j
an cause; but that all Filipinos looked forward to I
eventual Independence after an jn .lertne<l period |
6f American tutelar* and training in the work of
government. For this training the commission be- I
lleves f. native legislative assembly the most efll- I
clent Instrument; and. as it seemed a just recogni
tion of popular rights, and as the Filipinos deeply
! desired it. we recommended that it be granted by
| Congress This recommendation was subsequently
I repeated by the second Philippine Commission, of
; which Judge Taft is the distinguished head.
The prolongation of military operations delayed
I the enactment of any political measures for *th«
I benefit of the Fllpllnos. But it was obvious at the
closo of 1901 that force had accomplished its work,
and that conditions in the islands demanded the
best efforts of statesmanship. I ventured, in a
I speech delivered In Boston in the month of Janu
i ary, to set forth the views which I had formed in
[ regard to a permanent and definitive policy toward
i the Christian Filipinos. They embrace (1) pacifica-
I tion. (2) a grant of civil rights. (3) a native lesis-
I lative assembly, whose members should be elected
on a property or educational qualification: (1) a
measure of home rule, to bo progressively increased
according to circumstances, and (S) independence
when the Filipinos desired and were reasonably fit
for independence. Since January the Philippine
question has been thoroughly discussed in Congress
and by the press. There have been many side Is
sues, but over them all has gradually loomed up
the pregnant question. Shall the Filipinos be gov
erned with tho consent of the governed? The
imperialists answered no. and they controlled the,
Senate: the. anti-Imperialists answered yea. and
they controlled the House. Thanks, as I believe,
to the liberal, farslghted spirit of President Roose
velt, who In his Arlington speech explicitly con
templated the possibility of ultimate Philippine In
dependence, the House., under the able leadership
of Mr. Cooper, prevailed over the Senate, and the
bill providing for a legislative assembly for the
Filipinos became the law of the land.
If imperialism means government without the
consent of the governed and antl-lmperlallsm the
contrary, then it must be asserted that In the first
conflict of those forces over the government of the
Philippines the anti-imperialist* have won the day.
After 1904. when the new Philippine legislature
comes into existence, no bill can De enacted into
law In the Philippines without the consent of the
governed, duly given by their representative legis
lative assembly. Meantime, the act of Congress
creating that assembly secures to the Filipinos all
the civil rights specified in the bill of rights of
our own constitution »-xcept the right to carry
arms which is. at present, a prudent reservation)
and the right to trial by jury (which is foreign to
the laws and legal traditions and ideas of the
I certainly am satisfied with the action of the
President and Congress In regard to Philippine af
fairs. Everything T asked for the Filipinos In Ml
Boston speech of January last, which was severely
criticised by imperialists, has been granted to them
with tho exception of gradually increasing home
rule, culminating tn independence when the Fili
pinos desired and were fit for Independence, which
by the very terms of the proposition shows itself
a matter not for the present, but for the future
I have always attached the greatest importance i
to (he grant of a native legislative assembly. That !
organization gives the 6,500,000 Christian Filipinos of !
Luzon and the Visayaa an instrument for the ex
pression of the sentiments of their nation and for
the. control of their gdvernment. The fact that we
have established such a legislature refutes forever
the libellous talk of those Christianized and civil
ized Filipinos being comparable to Sioux or Apache
Indians. It recognizes them as a nation, like the
Cubans, the Venezuelans or the Chilian.'
No such legislature has. apart from Japan, ever
been granted to any Asiatic people. The Imperial
ists who wanted us to govern the Philippines as»
England governs India, or Holland governs Java

bill, wifi ha^e the effect of eliminating the Philip
pines aa a political l»»ue for at least three or four
years. Even those who favor "ndependence cannot ,
raise the question Ml that native legislative as- "
sembly has voiced the sentiments of the Filipinos
i on the subject, and also demonstrated by wise and
prudent use of the legislative powers it enjoys that
it la fit to receive a larger grant of home rule.
As a friend and admirer of the Filipinos, many 0..
whom have honored me with their confidence. I bes
them, In the Interests of the further political devel
opment of their nation, not at the outset to rsak©
their legislative assembly an organ for fruitless
I agitation on the subject of independence, but rather
! with moderation and self-restraint so to exerei3e
' the functions delegated to them that the American
! people will deem them worttiy of a still larger
, grant of power. Of course the Filipinos will ha.ye . +
I the right to petition Congress, and I believe that
! the dominant forces, both in the archipelago and
in America, are working for their ultimate Inde
pendence (if they desire independence), but they
can hasten the coming of that day not so much by
petition and agitation (which, of course, are proper
I enough and may be necessary), as by soberly ad
, dressing themselves to the high task of partlcipat- '
i ing on equal terms with Americans in the general
i government of their archipelago. For one, I hava
! always made Increasing home rule and eventual
i independence 'onditional upon, first, the desires.
1 and secondly, the demonstrated capacities of 0M ;
I Filipinos, and it is my firm belief that the Amer
ican people will never concede those Ineffable bless- -
Ings in the absence of these reasonable conditions. A
We have planted government with the consent of '
the governed In Asia. The. Philippines are thus not '
a. colony, but an incipient sister commonwealth.
The colonizing natlona of Europe pooh pooh our »
experiment. Heav«-n grant it may be a case of • 3
liberty enlightening: the world! Certainly the grain
of mustard seed will grow. Certaisly the Filipinos
will in time insist that the principle of the con
sent of the governed receive a broader and fu >"
application. But I repeat that their destiny ia> no^
in their own hands Their friends In America can
do nothing but Support their -Sorts. The Filipinos
may. however, take confidence from the fact that
the promise and potency of every political good is "j
contained In that principle of the consent of the
g&verned which Las. germlnally at least, been ex
tended to t he'it.
Meantime, and till after the; inaugratian of that '
Philippine Assembly in 1901. the Philippines will dis
appear as an Issue from American polities.
What I have said of the 6,500.000 Christian and
civilized Filipinos of Luzon and tha Visayas does
not apply to the remaining population of the archi
pelago—the 1.500.000 of Mahometan fMoros) and
heathen tribes who inhabit Mindanao. Sulu. Basilan
and Palawan. A strong external sovereignty must
be exercised over these barbarous and savag* -
i tribes, of whom some fourscore are known and
' named. It is these people who may fairly be com
pared with the North American Indiana. And un
less we turned them over to some other stron.?
power, we should have to retain our sovereignty
over them, even If we conferred Independnce upon
th 6.500.a» Christian and civilized Filipinos of
Luzon, the Visayas and the coasts of Mindanao- I
may add that the circumstance that we have two
such distinct and almost contradictory problems m
the Philippines makes statements that are perfect
ly congruous appear to the uninitiated to be In
consistent and "wabbling." »>
Our army may have some trouble with the Moros
and heathen tribes of th* southern Islands. Arntr- '■ ■
lean prospectors and traders will desire t'-> press .
into the interior, and tha natives, apprehending tn# ,
loss of their lands, will have recourse to arms m
self-protection. Let our military authorities pro- **■
tect them against capitalistic exploitation, and cur
pressure upon them from the coast inward should -
b.» so gentle and so rradual as not to provoke nos- .
tility or awaken suspicion
Even among the Christian Filipinos of Luzon, ar.d
the Visayas there are still administrative ques- ■
tlons of no little difficulty to settle. The gravest Is
undoubtedly the problem of the friars, but I thiaK -j r -
its gravity has been somewhat exaggerated. I
favor— indeed. I was the first to recommend— tne
purchase by the government of their landed estatse
And I believe that purchase can now be effected
on a »atl«factory basis. But if the Vatican Is un- .
willing to withdraw the friars let them remain. ,t, t
Should the Filipinos resist their return to their for
mer parishes that ■« not a matter of any concern
to the civil authorities: with us church and stato ;
are absolutely separate. The friars woaM rr.ov* -
about at their own peril like any other aliens,
whether popular or unpopular Even If the negotto-
tors fail to agree on terms for the purchase ana ;
sale of the friars' lands, the result would bo less
hurtful to the government than to the religious
corporations, who would hay- infinite trouble in >*]
collecting their rents from unfriendly tenants -J*^
But this ts an administration qusstlon. wh:ch njsv : *•}
safely be. left to the ability and diplomacy of. Gov- j
errtor Taft I return to my point that practically
all fundamental Philippine questions (soart from
the supreme question of independence or St3.teP.oon>
have now been settled. The Filipinos wanted rell*- ■ ,
lous liberty personal freedom, freedom or »P— c»

Macedonian Empire Post-Alexander
Upon Alexander the Great's death in 323 BC Hephaestion was crowned Emperor of Macedonia. Emperor Hephaestion immediately began a campaign westward to conquer the Roman Republic and Carthaginian Empire. Rome fell in 319 AD and Carthage in 316 AD, and he would be remembered as Hephaestion the Conqueror. Hephaestion died in 314 AD to be succeeded by his son, Aeropus.
During Aeropus' reign the Macedonian Empire invaded and conquered the Iberian Peninsula, the south of OTL France, and Africa out to the Atlantic Ocean to the west of what was the Carthaginian Empire. Aeropus helped stabilize the empire. His policies perpetuated a unified Macedonian identity throughout the empire.
Over the next few centuries the Macedon Empire would expand, taking the Arabian Peninsula, and sometimes extending further north in Europe. They extended into Central Asia around 250 BC and then into India around 125 BC. Around 10 BC Indian rebels gradually regained control. During this time lands in Central Asia at times change hands with various Scythian kingdoms.
Viking culture emerges and continues to dominate in Scandinavia, Iceland, and Greenland into the 2nd millennium. The Vikings also hold on to Vinnland in America, expanding into the powerful Vinnish Empire.
Mongol Empire
The Mongol Empire begins in 1206 when Genghis Khan unites the tribes of Mongolia.
Attempted Invasion of the Macedonian Empire
In 1219, as part of the Mongol Empires broader campaign, it invades the Macedonian Empire, which at this time controls territory from Persia to Spain, northern Africa, territory along the coast of the Red Sea running down to its border with Aksum, the Caucasus and the Black Sea, and territory going up to OTL France and most of OTL Germany. The unified Macedonian Empire is better able to fight off the Mongols, the war ending in 1223 with no loss of territory. The Mongols move on and as a result are better able to hold on to other territories.
Mongol Empire Post-Invasion
The Mongol Empire conquered all of Asia with the exception of the far north, southeast Asia, India, and the Macedonian Empire. With a smaller, more easily manageable empire the Mongols consolidate their hold.
The Macedonian Empire fearing its safety begins a military buildup after the failed Mongol invasion, and starts an alliance with the several independent states in Scandinavia and Germannia, the Indian Empire, and several Southeast Asian states. All boys are given military training from the age of 8 starting in this period.
Invasion of Japan
In 1298, after several failed attempts at conquering Japan, the Mongol Empire invades it. After 3 years Japan is successfully conquered.
Discovery of America
The Mongol Empire hearing of the Vinnish Empire on another continent sends an expedition east to find it. Several expeditions into the Pacific are undertaken and in 1311 Mongols land in Alaska. The Mongol Empire quickly conquers Alaska.

A rapidly expanding Bedford business celebrated its success by inviting the Mayor of Bedford to officially open its new premises.
Xigen is a full service digital agency with a turnover of more than £1 million and more than 50 regular clients.
James Pruden, Xigen studio directior said: "Since Mark Fitzsimmons founded the company in his flat 13 years ago, Xigen have gone from strength-to-strength. We've built a rich portfolio and work closely with our clients on amazing on and offline projects.
"We now employ a staff of 30 local professionals who have the ability to manage every aspect of our projects in-house – always ensuring high quality. We needed somewhere big enough to be an open-plan studio with space for chill-out rooms, meeting rooms and offices.
"Our new building at Priory Business Park gives us this, with room to grow and hire new team members up to a maximum of 42 staff as and when required."
Bedford Mayor Dave Hodgson said: "It shows the benefit of our iLab – an innovation centre organised by Bedford Borough Council. Xigen has now outgrown it which is a nice problem in itself. This is a hi-tech, front-end company. There's also some really skilled people working for them.
"Xigen's success is great for Bedford, great for them, and great for Priory Business Park. I wish them all the best."
Xigen client Ross Goodwin, managing director of mytoolshed.co.uk, said: "We've always had a great relationship with Xigen, they offer a special service. They've done exceptionally well."
James added: "Having the mayor open the building was a real honour. It's great to see the support the borough council has given us over the years to help promote a local business."

Farm Practices & Management
Genetically engineered (GE) seed varieties were commercially introduced in 1996. Adoption rates for these crops increased rapidly in the years that followed. Currently, over 90 percent of U.S. corn, upland cotton, soybeans, canola, and sugarbeets are produced using GE varieties. ERS conducts research on a number of agricultural biotechnology issues, which are covered in this topic.
Fertilizers & Pesticides
ERS evaluates the influence of rising energy costs and crop prices on fertilizer prices, nutrient supply, and consumption. ERS research also examines factors influencing volatile fertilizer markets and farmers' strategies to manage nutrient use under price uncertainty. ERS evaluates factors driving trends in the use and composition of pesticides in the United States. Changing relative prices of inputs, trends in the extent and location of crop production, use of biotechnology, adoption of organic systems, pest invasions, and climate change all contribute to changes in pesticide use.
Crop & Livestock Practices
ERS analyzes trends in the adoption of a range of crop and livestock production practices and their effectiveness in reducing costs, increasing farming profitability, minimizing losses to the environment, and conserving natural resources.
Irrigation & Water Use
In an era of increasingly limited and more costly water supplies, efficient irrigation systems and water management practices can help maintain farm profitability and assist USDA in meeting conservation and environmental policy goals.
Risk Management
Uncertainty in prices, yields, government policies, and foreign markets means that risk management plays an important role in many farm business decisions.

Interesting - the cop has already been proven to be a liar. I suspect that this will send a message to other copsabout telling the truth. Of course in the UK a large cop armed with riot shield and baton can still use his baton to protect himself against a much smaller woman because he feels threatened, as proven in a recent case when video evidence was presented.
As we reported back in July 2009, the cyclist captured in the video you can see below being barged from his bike by a police officer during a Critical Mass rally in New York the previous year was suing the New York Police Department for $1.5m.
This week, the cycling demonstator Christopher Long is back in court again having succeeded in settling for $65,000 from the city. This time he's pursuing his case against the now-resigned NYPD officer Patrick Pogan, who he claims used unreasonable force in knocking him off his bike.
According to today's New York Post, the prosecuting lawyer Ryan Connor has already told jurors in his opening statement that what Pogan did next was even worse in falsifying a sworn complaint to cover up his actions with a "distorted version of events." That included a claim that Long had "rammed" Pogan with his bike.
Pogan's lawyer, Stuart London, portrayed his client as a "bright-eyed new officer" who ran afoul of a pot-smoking "opportunist" who "orchestrated" the whole thing in hopes of cashing in."
We're watching fascinated while the case continues.

Having problems with your Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Notebook ?
Display problems I have Leno IBM thinkcentre desktop . It does not display but then it becomes on.
Answers :
If you see a dim image or flicking image on the LCD screen it means you have a backlight problem.
Connect an external monitor to the laptop and power it up, if you see a clear image on an external monitor, this means your video card is OK.
Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

The Disintegrin-Metalloproteinase ADAM8 as a therapeutic target in highly invasive gliomas
Search Medline for
|June 4, 2012
Objective: ADAMs are zinc-dependent metalloproteases with important roles in tumor cell growth, cell migration and tumor angiogenesis. We explored the functional role of a member of this family, ADAM8, in gliomas by generating U87 glioma cell lines with a knockdown of ADAM8 and pharmacological inhibition of ADAM8 using a novel and specific ADAM8 inhibitory peptide to assess in vivo drugability of ADAM8.
Methods: A stable knockdown of ADAM8 in U87 was generated by transfection of an shRNA construct and cell clones were selected. ADAM8 knockdown cells were compared to wild type U87 cells by scratch and invasion assays, fluorescence protease activity assays, proteomics and intracellular signalling assays. Cells were injected stereotactically and the effect of an inhibitory ADAM8 peptide was assessed in cell culture and in vivo.
Results: Knockdown of ADAM8 caused a significant reduction in migration and invasion behaviour of U87 cells. As a result of ADAM8 knockdown, proteolytic release of a number of membrane proteins involved in cell migration was markedly reduced, including CD44, JAM-B and osteopontin, molecules with essential functions for glioma cell migration. In addition, ADAM8 mediated intracellular signalling was decreased in ADAM8 knockdown cells, i.e. ERK1/2 phophorylation and integrin β1 signalling. In vivo, reduced migration was seen as decreased number of brain-infiltrating cells. In cell culture, application of an ADAM8 inhibitory peptide in submicromolar concentrations caused a significant reduction of glioma invasiveness, to a similar extent as the ADAM8 knockdown.
Conclusions: ADAM8 is a drug target in highly invasive glioblastoma cells, since knockdown or inhibition causes a significant reduction of cellular migration and invasiveness, hallmarks of high grade gliomas. The pathophysiological effect of ADAM8 is given by proteolysis of important mediators of cell migration and by induction of integrin/ERK signalling. Our results provide a good basis for further studies to treat glioma by application of ADAM8 inhibitory drugs.

(same symptom as for PR#14209 except that it /doesn't/ (??) seems to be an NFS-related problem) I have three boxes running 1.6D and 1.5ZC. One of them ('cactus') act as a router for my internal network. All of them do NFS mounting, but I see mbufs leaks only on the router box, as shown by the following netstats : (I've been observing those symptoms for a long time now, and since many different kernels (maybe since the early 1.5's, I can't remember exactly)) ficus[~] > netstat -m // OK 94 mbufs in use: 6 mbufs allocated to data 87 mbufs allocated to packet headers 1 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 65/74 mapped pages in use 216 Kbytes allocated to network (84% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 88 calls to protocol drain routines crocus[~] > netstat -m // OK 62 mbufs in use: 1 mbufs allocated to data 58 mbufs allocated to packet headers 3 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 247/256 mapped pages in use 604 Kbytes allocated to network (95% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 380 calls to protocol drain routines cactus# netstat -m // Doesn't stop growing... 17963 mbufs in use: 17955 mbufs allocated to data 2 mbufs allocated to packet headers 6 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 60/68 mapped pages in use 4640 Kbytes allocated to network (99% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines (the router is cactus above, and now has an impressive mbuf count...) The mbuf counter sometimes decreases a bit on cactus (a few mbufs a apparently freed), but the allocated number usually only grows. Of course, after a variable amout of time (2-3 weeks for normal use, as few as 8h under heavy load), the box runs out of mbufs and start entering into a well known 'guru meditation', looking desperately for mbufs :) The other boxes are very ok... I'm using the following network interfaces (I know both are bad :): On the router rtk and ne (the latter for a 512kbps DSL connection): rtk0 at pci0 dev 19 function 0: RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX OUI 0x000000 model 0x0000 rev 0 at rtk0 phy 7 not configured ne0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0: RealTek 8029 Ethernet ne0: 10base2, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, auto, default [0x03 0x70] auto On the other boxes rtk: rtk0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0: RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX OUI 0x000000 model 0x0000 rev 0 at rtk0 phy 7 not configured I also use ipnat/ipfilter and other usual router-related stuff on the router. >How-To-Repeat: Run a very tcp demanding application through (*not* *on*) a NAT-ed router box (such as a P2P application :) and look at the output of netsat -m.
