M-Throne is the thirteenth planet in the Throne star system found in the Tharcan Galaxy. The name M-Thronians once referred to the inhabitants of this planet, but after the establishment of the M-Throne Empire, many systems were conquered or willingly joined the Empire, so now the demonym "M-Thronian" can refer to the inhabitants of either the planet M-Throne or the Imperial Territory.
Today the M-Throne Empire is considered one of the strongest empires in the BrikVerse. The Emperor, Creator and the Leader of the Empire, rules thousands of planets across the BrikVerse. The ultimate goal of the Emperor is to establish the greater good for all the organic and synthetic life-forms in the BrikVerse. To reach this goal he is willing to use all means necessary. The Empire is always ready to fight against evil.
Before the Empire
Thousands of years ago, there was a ancient civilization called "Minerse" as mentioned in the ancient books. Minerse was initially a galaxy-wide industrial corporation that gained enormous power by mining operations and were able to establish their own galactic civilization. Members of this civilization lived in luxury and wealth for thousands of years in their villas and palaces in planet surfaces. They reached a very advanced level in manufacturing technology as well as genetics.
Eventually they managed to get a sample DNA of the First Deadly SpaceMan and used it to create clones for work power. Genetic manipulation and intensive use of drugs made the clones excellent workers. Many versions of clones were produced and abandoned. Some of the most effective clones were the clones that work in the Magnet mines in M-Throne.
All clones throughout the universe work in very bad conditions under the planetary surface. These underworld workers created a culture and mythological system of their own. Since they have no contact with surface or other cultures, they started to worship Minerse members as Gods who created them and the mining sub-contractor mine keepers as gods' servants. Those mineservants who are from different species but no yellows, forced the clones to work as much as they want and as hard as they want. Even some of them were so ambitious and greedy forcing the clones to work to death.
Thousands of years passed in ignorance until a special clone was born. As clones are brought to life by number assigned, he didn't have a name at birth, but since he was the first born of the production batch, he was named as Progenitus by his clone friends meaning "The firstborn". He had the special ability to feel the magnetic energy of crystals, which he kept as a secret from the other clones and the mine keepers to protect himself and his friends.
He was probably the most curious of all clones and a skeptic about the information he got from the myths and stories about the mine keepers. In the time of the Great Riots he experienced a miracle where he became one with the ultimate energy of the magnetic core and the event led him to his life changing travel to other universes and timelines. Thousands of years passed for him, but only days for the people of the BrikVerse. When he come back he was the most powerful psychic in the universe and he was ready to lead people to reach the greater good.
Establishment of the Empire
During the Great Riots the Emperor showed up as a leader of his kind, and he united all systems where clones were used as workers. He prevented the mass killing of the surface people by the rioting clones and became the protector of both the clones and surface inhabitants. After he secured the peace on M-Throne, he created a new imperial rule where the clones and natural-borns are treated as equals.
Era of Peace
At first the Empire included only planets where the clones had overthrown the rule of the mine keepers and Minerse and earned their freedom. In this era M-Throne continued mining and other industrial operations, and very little military action was seen. Production of clones was stopped, but millions of already produced clones were still present in hibernation facilities in many planets. The Emperor decided that hibernating clones should be woken up, not all at once, but group by group, preventing social disorder or starvation.
Wealth and prosperity in the Empire increased rapidly. Arts and culture also advanced rapidly in this era. Gigantic buildings covered the skies of the planets. Most of the imperial planets of this era would be later known as the inner core planets. In this era the clone mining workers wore neon-green visors to see better underground. Black helmets with neon-green visors, red shirts with M symbol and white pants became an icon of industrial development in this era.
The function of the relatively small military forces was only defense of systems and space borders. In this era the M-Throne empire seemed more a commercial union of people rather than an imperial regime. The Emperor thought that peace and prosperity was the way to the greater good.
Dark-Tron Rebellion
Unfortunately, the era of peace didn't last long. At first the trade convoys started being raided by pirates. Therefore the imperial fleet was founded to protect the trade routes and ore transportation. The mining colonies started being attacked by NegaVerse creatures, space orks, and other non-yellow species.
Despite all the efforts of the Emperor to solve the problems peacefully, he was not entirely succesful. The Emperor understood that the planetary defense forces were not enough to protect the peace. He founded the Imperial Army and united all the defense forces under it. The attacks on the planets decreased a little after the foundation of the central army command, but were not ended completely. At that time the Emperor still believed that there was no need for an aggressive military action against the enemy. A hatred started to grow between people of M-Throne against non-yellows, but many members of non-yellow species still continued their lives on imperial planets.
As the number of losses increased, protests against non-yellows started to be seen all over the Empire. People thought that they were responsible for the losses in the attacks on the colonies and convoys. A group of radicals in B-Throne, the second planet in the Throne system, started to meet in secrecy and wanted all non-yellows to be expelled from imperial territory or even killed if they refused to leave.
A group of protesters went to the Emperor's palace to sound their demands, but the Emperor refused to act against innocent non-yellows and promised to stop the killings of clones in colonies. Unconvinced, the group returned to B-Throne and decided to act themselves, starting to bully the non-yellows on their planet. The news reached quickly to the Emperor's palace, and by the order of the Emperor, the security forces arrested the protesters who had acted violently against the non-yellows.
After that, the protesters founded a secret organization named Dark-tron. Their primary goal was to force the Emperor to expel the non-yellows, who were not willing to protect the yellow. If he was not willing to cooperate he would be overthrown. They made a plan and contacted soldiers with B-Throne origin who were assigned in M-Throne. In a regular monthly inspection where the Emperor inspected the military forces, the B-Throne soldier sneak into the palace of the Emperor and he tried kidnap the Emperor's wife Lady Linden and his young son Dieter to blackmail the Emperor.
But they underestimated the psychic force of the Emperor. As he felt a disturbance in the Farce, he returned quickly to his palace and discovered the Dark-Tron members as they caught his wife and son. The Emperor ordered them to surrender, but they refused. They knew that they couldn't kill the Emperor, but they threatened to kill his son and wife. The Emperor tried to psychically drop the weapon of the Dark-tronian, but the Dark-tronian assumed that the Emperor was willing to kill them and in haste he pulled the trigger. The wife was shot in the head and died.
The Emperor's guards shot the Dark-tronians and saved the son. The Emperor was very sad about what had happened, and locked himself away to meditate.
In the meantime, the followers of the dead Dark-tronians started a riot on B-Throne. They also started terrorist activities on other planets of the Empire. They used stealth suits to infiltrate official facilities. Although the combined force of internal security forces and the imperial army was able the stop the major protests, the head of the riot could not be captured because the Dark-tron had some members in the Imperial Army as well.
The Emperor emerged from the meditation chamber and was convinced that he had no choice but destroy the leaders of the riot to stop the violence. He decided to create a new armed force selecting the most loyal and elite members of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Guard was founded to defeat the Dark-tron and to defend the imperial rule at any cost. They were suited up with the similar black stealth uniform that the Dark-tron members used to infiltrate facilities.
The Imperial Guard succeeded in finding and killing the leaders of the Dark-tronians. The rest of the Dark-tronians stood trial and were condemned to death or imprisonment according to their crimes, but the Emperor was merciful and decided to banish them from the imperial region. If they ever come back to the imperial territory without the Emperors allowance, they would be sentenced to death. Getting their freedom, they promised not to come back. The merciful act of the Emperor was appreciated by the citizens of the Empire.
Today it is known that exiled Dark-tronian gangs settled in distant systems and formed an alliance that controls a network of black market trade and secret intelligence. The alliance they built didn't become an enemy of the Empire but is definitely not an ally either.
The Imperial Guard is still centered in several core planets to protect the Emperor and the imperial rule. As a result, the Emperor realized that accomplishing the greater good only for his people is not enough. The greater good must be established for all beings in the BrikVerse and the crusade for the greater good has began.
Great Expansion Era
The Emperor decided to eliminate all threats near the imperial border and trade routes. He ordered his high ranking officers and strategists to make plans a for interstellar crusade that will probably last for decade's even centuries. First step would be to capture star systems in key locations. To control these star systems, habitable planets with sentient life forms should be controlled. Many planets joined the Empire by diplomatic contacts. Others were captured by military force.
When the great expansion of the Empire started the interstellar travel is not as fast as today and the Emperor knew that he needs commanders who don't age or age very slowly to be in command of the crusades for the greater good. He creates his own altered clones and together with his other biological children he united them under the organization named as Emperors Children Organisation (E.C.O). He sent the members of the E.C.O for their missions in different directions to expand imperial borders and keep the Empire safe. The Emperor also founded the Iron Hammer as the armed section of the E.C.O. and gave them the authority to judge even the high rank officers when necessary, primarily when they act against the greater good or against the Emperor.
The Emperor himself also took over control of many systems by diplomacy and military force. His strategy was simple. He offered technology, prosperity and peace to the inhabitants of the planets in exchange of the control of their system for the greater good. If they refused the proposal and act against the greater good the system was captured by military force. Some primitive civilizations started to worship the Emperor as a god or demi-god because of the technology and his psychic forces. In this era many planets were terraformed to maintain life and many M-class planets where no sentient life forms evolved are colonized with M-Thronian citizens. Since these planets offered many opportunities the colonization of inhabited planets spread very quickly.
Only two centuries after the start of the crusades the number of systems in imperial territory reached hundreds. The Senate of M-Throne was renamed as the Imperial Senate and included the outer core planets and 3. section planets as well (For more info see section: Organization: Sections of Imperial Territory). The existing intelligence agency of the Empire is developed and reorganized after joining of the Spirion to the Empire, using their experience and technology in secret intelligence gathering. Psychic clones started to work in the agency. Since then a psychic member of the Emperors children was assigned as the head of the organization and the organizations is renamed as the Third Eye.
Science and technology continued to develop rapidly in this era. Researches mainly focus on military technologies and biology. First Black Stars are designed and constructed. A network consisting hundreds of Interstellar gates were built to connect the Imperial systems. The neon-green visors of the helmets are abandoned for the most of the military divisions and dark transparent visors are started to be used. New visors more elegant to use in combat.
Central Psychics Academy was founded in M-Throne. Existing military academies in M-Throne were united under the name of the Imperial Military Academy. The officer training in academies around the Empire was unified according to the program of the Imperial Military Academy.
Recent History
Sections of Imperial Territory
The Imperial Territory is divided into three sections according to their loyalty and distance to the M-Throne the imperial capital planet. The closest systems are defined as inner core systems whcih includes the Throne Star System and the neighboring star systems. Most of the inner core systems joined the Empire in the Era of Peace. Outer core planets are defined as the systems that are far to the capital more than 10.000 ly or not qualified as a inner core planet. The third section consist all other planets that are in boundries of the Empire. This section also contains systems including the T-type, F-type and C-type systems. T-type systems are trade colonies, deep-space outposts. F-type colonies are colonies that are in forreign territory. C-type system are newly occupied system.
Imperial Senate and Imperial Government
Imperial senate is the main representitive council of the Empire. It is found in the capital planet M-Throne. Senate members (Representatives from the systems) are sent by the local governments (see local governments for more info). One council member is selected as the prime minister by the Emperor. And the prime minister select the members of the imperial governmet from the members of the imperial senate. The decisions in the senate are taken by voting. The votes of the representitives of the inner core planets are 10 times more powerful than the votes of the outer core planets. And the votes of presentitives from outer core planets are 10 times more powerful than the votes of the representitives of the third section planets. F-type and C-type systems also send representitives o the senate but they have no right to vote in the senate.
The Emperor is above the senate and its decision surpass the decision of the senate if a confict occurs. This type of situation occurs very rarely , because noone wants to make a decision against the Emperor.
The black center circle in the Imperial senate symbol represents the Emperor, the thick red circle represents the imperial government and the black around it represents the imperial senate. White circle represents the inner core and light gray circle represents the outer core. Core planets and third section is seperated with a thin red circle. Darker gray circle represents the third section planets. The 3 red circles means that the systems (not literally but) immaterially orbits around the senate. The senate is the central force that keeps the Empire together.
Local Goventments
Each system in the Empire has its own local government. Each government sent a spesific number of representitives to the imperial senate. The local governments are established in different ways. All inner core system have democratic system where the repsentatives are selected by voting of eligable citizens. Outer core systems and third section planets have may have different types of local government according o their culture. Power and outhority of the local rulers are limited t otheir system or sector only. Local systems may have their own codes of law but these laws are limited with the imperial law.
The security of the Senate is maintained by Imperial Guard. Noone but the commissioned Imperial Guard members, the Emperor and his children has to right to carry a weapon inside the senate building. Each system has its own meeting and rest rooms of its own. Other than the main councel hall, there are also meeting halls for commissions, parties and conferances.
Third Eye Organization
The existing intelligence agency of the Empire is developed and reorganized after joining of the Spirion sytem in the Empire using their experience in secret intelligence gathering and renamed as the Third Eye Organization (T.E.O.). Now, the T.E.O. is the central intelligence agency of the Empire. The organization report primerily to the Emperor, minister of war and minister of internal security. Originally the agents are only citizens from M-Throne but lateron agents from different species are hired. Today field agents are highly trained members from different species including psychic agents with future sight ability. The center of the organization is on M-Throne. T.E.O's intelligence network is so large and intricate no internal or external enemy can act witout notice. A psychic member of the Emperors children is assigned as the head of the organization.
Emperors Children
Emperors Children Organiztion (E.C.O) is formed by the Emperor uniting his biological children and clones at the beginning of the great expansion era. Emperor married many times during his long life and have many children and created many clones with genetic manipulation. Since then many members are died and born or created. The members of this organization serve the Empire as lords, governors and army leaders. Some of them have psychic powers like the Emperor but none of them is considered to be equally powerful as the Emperor. Some of the members are peacekeepers and some of them are fearless warriors. The Emperor consideres his clones and biological children together as his children and only defines tham with their service for the greater good. In the E.C.O many regular clones are working for helping the members.
Imperial Armed Forces
There are four different military organizations in the Empire, these are Imperial Army, Imperial Guard, Imperial Fleet and Iron Hammer Organizations. First three organizations combined are defined as the Army of the Emperor. Iron Hammer Organization is a subgroup of the Emperors Children Organization.
The Emperor is the supreme commander of the entire military force of the Empire. Imperial Army, Imperial Guard and Imperial Fleet have their own chain of command. Grand Generals and Admirals command their forces. If the matter is important, The Emperor made the final decisions.
Imperial Army
Imperial Army is the main militay force in the Empire. Imperial Army controls most of the planatery attack and defence forces and also a small space fleet. This fleet contains fighters, small and medium size transport vessels and is responsible of interstellar transportation of the military forces. Imperial Army also have his own technical departmants and workers to build and maintain military structures.
Imperial Guard
Imperial Guard is similar to the Imperial Army but located in the core planets. Their main function is to defend the Emperor, Emperors Childen and the Imperial Order itself. Imperial Guard members are trained mentally and physically in a special program and genetically enchanced to be perfect soldiers. Their loyalty to the Emperor and Imperial order is indisputable. Personal Guards of the Emperor Children and Emperor is chosen among the members of the Imperial Guard by the Emperor himself and they are taught to use psychic powers. Another special group of the Imperial Guard is the Elite Guards. These are the most promising soldiers in the army. They are tasked with special operations that need extreme acuracy and sometimes secrecy.
Imperial Fleet
Imperial Fleet is the space fleet of the Empire. It controls intergalactic and interstellar space vehicles. Its main duties are military transportation, defending systems in Imperial Terretories, engaging enemy forces in space and defending interdimensional portals and warp gates in space. carriers, battlecruisers, destroyers, spacestations are examples under Imperial Fleets control. Imperial Fleet is commanded by the Grand Admiral Eisenadler who is the son of the Emperor.
Iron Hammer Organization
Iron Hammer Organization is a subdivision of E.C.O. The members of Iron Hammer are the warriors of the Emperor. They serve as commanders and special ops. in other military organizations. Another duty of the iron hammer is to execute the sentences of high ranking officers. They can read minds with their psychic force and test someones loyalty to the Emperor and to the greater good. Iron hammer, the symbol and the name of the organization represents that the Iron Hammer is the weapon of the Emperor and if the matter is about loyalty and justice the decision of the Emperor is final. Imperial forces that are commanded by a Iron Hammer member may carry the banner of Iron Hammer. Emperors son, Bernhard Neuwald is the current leader of the Iron Hammer and he carries the symbolic weapon of the organization
The mineral called "Magnet" is one of the most precious mineral in the brikverse. Its unusual magnetic properties are studied by the M-tron scientists and used to create magnetic technologies by the engineers. There are different applications where magnet mineral can be used according to the form of the mineral. Magnet in crystal form emits a powerful magnetic field, and when it is contained it could be used for anti/gravity generators, energy shielding, warp-engines, and inter-dimensional travel or warp-gates. Magnet in amorphous form is used as structure material in all kinds of vehicles and buildings.
Other than magnet related technologies, conventional technologies are also used commonly in M-tronian systems. Nuclear fusion, nuclear combustion, geothermal energy and solar energy are also used as power sources. Some land vehicles still use conventional combustion engines.
Titanium and Aluminum alloys, Metallic Glasses (Zirconium and İron based ones) are commonly used metallic materials. Inter-metallic and metal-polymer composites are also commonly used. Heat resistant ceramics are used for bunkers, spaceship hulls and industrial applications.
Anti-Gravity and Gravity Generators.
Magnets in crystal form are used in gravity and anti-gravity generators. Magnetic field is converted to graviton field to create gravity in capital ships and space platforms. Anti-gravity generators are also used to hover tanks and armored vehicles over rough terrains. Small and Medium size speeders also have similar kinds of equipments in them.
Interstellar Travel
Space ships of the Empire have warp-engines to enable faster-than-light travel in space. The necessary energy is maintained by large Magnet crystals. Small transport ships, fighters etc. have the capability of limited interstellar travel. Capital ships have faster interstellar travel capabilities.
Other method for the interstellar travel is the warp portal/gate technology. The transportation trough the portals/gates occurs simultaniously for the travelers but it takes time for the rest of the universe. The time necessary is much less than the time when the same distance traveled with warp engines.
Warp gates are permanent gateways and most of them is built during the great expansion era across the imperial territory to maintain a trade and communication network between imperial systems. The routes of the nework connects the inner and outer core planets and they reach some of the closest third section plates as well. Majority of the third section systems don't have connection to the network. When a ship enter a warp gate, it can warp (teleport) to another gate in the same warp gate route he entered. The transportation time is not proportional with the distance of the destination gate but it is proportional to the energy used to activate the warp gate route. Since the lenght of the route and the number of connections increase the maintanence energy of the gate, the routes have a practical lenght limit. The Caerula route is the fastest route in the network that connects the central star systems of the Empire. Transportation time in this route is approximately 20 h for a routine day. Ofcourse the time can be shortened at emergency by increasing the input energy.
Warp portals are temporary gateways and created by portal generators mounted on special generator ships (and Black Stars). According to the laws of physics all matter in the universe is actually at the same point in the 9. dimension. It means that the traveler mass and distance of pass through a warp portal are not significant for the necessary energy. Only the size of the portal is important, but there is a minimum amount of energy (threshold) to create a portal at first place.
Intergalactic Travel
The intergalactic travel can be made by three methods. First method is to travel with warp-engines.
Although the warp-engines are capable of establishing faster-than-light speeds, some distances need more advanced technologies to be reached quickly. Warp portals are used for this purpose (see interstellar travel section).
Third method can only be used by the psychics. Psychic force is able to bend the dimensions of the physical universe to enable the force user to travel vast distances in a blink of time. Only one psychic is powerful enough to make this kind of travel, The Emperor.
Portable Life Support System
Most of the members of the Imperial Armed Forces are using PLSS's, short for Portable Life Support Systems. PLSS systems consist of an air-tank and a helmet. The system enables the user to breath in vacuum and toxic environments. The tanks include a filtering device that filters outside gasses and refills the air-tank.
Cybernetics and Cybernetic Implants
With the help of advanced cybernetics the physical capabilities of people can be enhanced. Many specialties like x-ray vision, infra red vision, extra strength etc. can be accomplished with cybernetic implants. The necessary parts can be implanted and mechanical parts can be added to soldier easier if they install cybernetic chips in their head that connects the functions of the cybernetic parts directly to the organic brain of the user.
Energy Shield
Almost all of the Space ships and some of the land vehicles carry an energy shield for extra protection. This energy shield consist two layer. First layer is a electromagnetic field that stops ion beams and projectiles with metallic composition and the second layer is a low energy particle layer. The particles can absorb energy from the high energy particles (eg. laser photons). Not commonly seen type of energy shield generator is the portable one. In the Empire, elite units like the Elite Guards carry a portable energy shield generator mounted on their Power Armor.
Black Stars
Black stars are huge spherical space stations that can carry thousands of spaceship and planetary forces. It has many strong gravitational beam generators and a very powerful portal generator. Entire fleet can get through these portals when created. The black stars are controlled by the Imperial Guard and defended by huge energy shield generators, defense towers, and missiles. The location and quantity of black stars are top secret information. The initial idea of construction of huge spherical stations is originated from the inter-universal travels of the Emperor before he becomes the Emperor (Travel to SW-universe).
There is no government religion in the Empire and there are many types of religious and secular beliefs live together in the Empire. Citizens from third section planets usually have their own uniqie belief systems. People from core planets are generally secular but there are also small relogious groups.
Some people in the Empire belive that the psychic force of is a divine force and the Emperor as sort of a god because of his immense power. Altough the scientist not yet prove the principles of the psychic force, they belive the psychic force must have a scientific explanation.
Demi-god Cultists and Totenkopf
Demi-god Cultists is one of the radical groups. The fallowers of this group present mainly in the core planets. They belive that the Emperor is a demi-god who can use the devine force to manupulate matter and energy and therefore he is immortal. They belive that the fallowers of the Emperor will go to the eternal heaven where they live in peace and prosper. The members of this cult join a special force, named Totenkopf. Members of Totenkopf wear skeleton masks to show that they are not afraid to die fighting for the Emperor and his orders. They do not care about the greater good but they do not hesitate to obey any order of the Emperor unquestioned. These soldiers can be found anywhere among the Imperial Army. The squads of Totenkopf usually carry a banner of their own in battle. Imperial Guard and Imperial Fleet members are not allowed to join the Cult so no Totenkopf members are present there.
Cult of Schwarzer Adler
Many cultures across the galaxy have miths about legendary flying creatures. Some of these are eagles and falcons. Today Cult of Schwarzer Adler have a significant number of fallowers across the galaxy since their cultural heritage make them easy to belive to the story originally written on Neuwald. They simply idolise the emperor as a god and belive that he is the savior of life and humanity.
The cult of Schwarzer Adler is originated in planet Neuwald. The inhabitants of this planet believe that their planet is carried into the orbit of their sun by a giant black eagle so the planet is heated and can support life. Although the inhabitants are mostly descendants of the original yellow minifig and they didn't evolve on this planet inhabitants worship this legendary creature. The inhabitants live in planet with dense jungles for thousands of years but their civilization is technologically primitive. Their culture has similarities with the Mayan civilization mentioned in sacred texts about Earth. When the Emperor arrives this planet first time with a star destroyer with an imperial fleet logo on it (An eagle on the M-Throne Symbol), people of the planet haven't seen a starship before and they believed that their god is back. When the Emperor comes out to meet them they started to worship the Emperor as their god calling them with the name of their god "Schwarzer Adler". Ironically the planet was really moved to its current orbital position by the burst of explosion of a space station happened during a space battle million years ago and the Emperor took part in that battle during his interuniversal travel back in time.
The priest of the cult wear large eagle head shaped caps. The warriors from this cult serve as skillful soldiers in the army. They can be recognized by their facial war paints like the local warriors of the planet Neuwald.
Psychic Force
Although it is thought that psychic force may and should have a scientific explanation. It has an important role in boh theology and science so it will be mentioned in this section. Psychic force is the source of super-natural abities of the psychics in the Empire. Most powerful psychic in the Empire is the Emperor. There are many known sources for the psychic powers. Magnetic energy of the Magnet crystals are the initial source of psychic force of the emperor. Before he becomes the Emperor, during his travels to other universes he learned other ways of force to enchance his power (e.g. Farce of the living (Travel to S-universe), force of the spice (Travel to FR.H-universe) etc.) Currently, trained psychics in the empire use mainly the magnetic energy. The Emperor and his psychic children can also increase their psychic force from beliefs of the people.
Every psychic needs to learn how to use his psychic force to practise a specific psychic power. Almost all the knowlegde about the psychic-force-use originate from the Emperor. There are two pathways that a psychic can walk. The way of kindness and the way of destruction. After one way is chosen, the powers from the other way is more difficult to practice (There are neutral way powers like psychic sight or future sight). Only the Emperor is cabable of practising all powers that are known from both ways. The Emperor is the only psychic who is able to make interuniversal travel using psychic force. Some of the common psychic powers are: psychic peace, psychic conversation, psychic prevention, psychic sight, pyrokinesis, psychic levitation, super reflexes.
Notable Leaders
Gerhard Eisenadler
He is the current head of the council of generals in the imperial army with the rank of grand general. He has also the grand admiral rank in the imperial fleet. He is the biological son of Lady Alexandra who is a regular M-Throne citizen. Gerhard Eisenadler is a genius military tactician and a brave soldier. When he was young fought on the front lines of battle side by side with regular clones against the greens. He gets the honourific title of Eisenadler for his loyal service to the Empire. His weapons of choice are small guns.
Heinrich Frieder
He is the biological son of the Princess Bleunig of Wasserland (A system in the inner core). He is an immortal and powerful psychic and a master in the way of kindness. Although he is a peacekeeper, his powers of psychic prevention and psychic conversation have enabled many battles to be won without any casualties. Entire enemy battalions surrender because of his psychic powers. He doesn't use any kind of weapon. His white staff is actually a symbol of peace and a instrument to reach the greater good. He earned the honour title of Frieder because of his successful diplomacy.
Claudia Luftstadt
The beautiful daughter of the Emperor is also the biological daughter of the princess of Luftstadt, a city on the Enheldam, an inner core system. She is a mortal. HEr psychic and intellectual charm is known across to core planets. She is a successful military strategist who knows how to trick the enemy and clear the path to victory by using intelligence agents and assassins. She is the current leader of the T.E.O.
Sigmund Weisswelt A thousand years ago Albert Weisswelt, The King of Weisswelt, a system in the outer core, decided to hand over his stellar kingdom to the Empire. Later on he became a good friend of the Emperor. The Emperor used DNA samples of King Albert to create an altered clone of himself too. Sigmund is an immortal and a psychic. He is a general and a ambassador of the Emperor. His choice of weapons is a red colored laser-sword.
Dieter Stahlwald He is a biological son of the Emperor and Lady Linden, a M-Thronian. His genes were altered by the Emperor by adding his own DNA. He is a mortal but he ages very slowly. He is a brave soldier and intelligent military strategist. After attending the Stahlwald military academy he attained the rank of colonel in the Imperial Guard. His choice weapons are a custom officer cutlass and a blaster gun.

Photos: Bites as new as their bars
Photos: Bites as new as their bars
At backbar, operated by the people who run adjacent restaurant Journeyman, choose-your-own charcuterie platters are among the offerings. The menu changes daily, written in chalk upon the walls.
Saloon is inspired by the pre-Prohibition era. It specializes in brown liquor, with more than 100 types of whiskey. The interior has salvaged woodwork, swooping arches, and Oriental rugs. The old-school food matches the tone.
Saloon's steak and kidney pie is topped in flaky browned crust, with a little ceramic bird to vent it as it bakes. Beneath the pastry is a hearty mix of stewed beef, kidney, and mushrooms.
Brick & Mortar is located in the former Enormous Room space. Bar manager Misty Kalkofen creates drinks like the Bullet for Fredo -- aged grappa, vermouth, and Campari.
Brick & Mortar's menu includes crostini with toppings such as white anchovies with burned tomato and goat cheese.
Also at Brick & Mortar: crisp, delicate lattice-work potato chips with onion dip.
Polished and relaxed, the Hawthorne is a pleasant place to drink. Snacks include Reuben toasts, which offer the flavors of the sandwich in a much tinier package: smoky meat, melted cheese, sharp kraut, and a bit of tangy dressing.
Clio's bar was recently renovated, and it has a new menu to match. Offerings include pork belly sandwiched in soft steamed buns with chili aioli, tamarind, and crunchy pickles.

Hubble's Latest Views of Light Echo from Star V838 Monocerotis
These are the most recent NASA Hubble Space Telescope views of an unusual phenomenon in space called a light echo. Light from a star that erupted nearly five years ago continues propagating outward through a cloud of dust surrounding the star. The light reflects or "echoes" off the dust and then travels to Earth.
Because of the extra distance the scattered light travels, it reaches the Earth long after the light from the stellar outburst itself. Therefore, a light echo is an analog of a sound echo produced, for example, when sound from an Alpine yodeler echoes off of the surrounding mountainsides.
The echo comes from the unusual variable star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon), located 20,000 light-years away on the periphery of our Galaxy. In early 2002, V838 Mon increased in brightness temporarily to become 600,000 times brighter than our Sun. The reason for the eruption is still unclear.
Hubble has been observing the V838 Mon light echo since 2002. Each new observation of the light echo reveals a new and unique "thin-section" through the interstellar dust around the star. The new images of the light echo were taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in November 2005 (left) and September 2006 (right). Particularly noticeable in the images are numerous whorls and eddies in the interstellar dust, which are possibly produced by effects of magnetic fields.

Wolves and leopard on show at Beardsley Zoo
BRIDGEPORT -- Kyle Castagna squealed in delight.
Peering into a protective glass window, the 2-year-old saw a rare Mexican gray wolf sidle up, then dash away.
Castagna and his friends, Emma and Corynn Hettenbach, were among the lucky ones to catch a glimpse during this weekend's debut of three Mexican wolves at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo.
"They're real excited to see some wolves," said Tina Castagna, Kyle's mother. "We knew the others had passed away."
However, zoogoers Saturday were not as lucky with Sofiya, the recently arrived Amur leopard. Sofiya avoided Saturday's blistering heat and refused to come out of her air-conditioned loft.
The three 6-year-old Mexican female wolves and a 4-year-old leopard arrived this spring from the California Wolf Center and the Fort Wayne, Texas, children's zoo, respectively.
Both species are part of the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan.
"We are bringing in these rare Mexican wolves in hopes of being able to breed them in the future," said Gregg Dancho, the zoo's director. "If we are successful, the wolves born in captivity will be part of a reproduction program aimed at increasing their numbers in the wild."
The wolves are on the verge of extinction, said Jim Knox, the zoo's curator of education. The species, cut down by hunters and habitat-seizing humans, now number about 100 in the wild and about 300 in captivity.
The wolves live an average of 15 years and weigh up to 75 pounds.
"Wolves are cautious by nature," Knox said. "Here they are, still in the process of acclimating to their new home."
While the wolves will spend much of their time outside, they have quieter, concrete digs built underneath the spectator's room. There, they have a bedroom with heat, air conditioning and bowls that automatically fill with water.
The wolves have not yet been named.
Just down the road is the Amur leopard, one of only 176 living in zoos around the world. The animal is a native of southeast Russia and northeast China. Sofiya could also live 15 years and could weigh up to 130 pounds.
"We're still working on her exhibit," said Knox.
Not far away, Doug Jackson, a park naturalist employed by Westmoor Park in West Hartford, watched the weekly Saturday afternoon alligator feeding with his son, Ely, 9.
"My favorite are the wolves," Ely said. "Because they look like dogs."


text: Matilda Oliver and her sister Eliza both worked as teachers in Boston, Massachusetts, between 1833 and 1885. This four-volume collection documents their personal expenses and their income from teaching. Both Matilda and Eliza supplemented their income by doing small knitting and sewing projects. From the 1860s, the accounts suggest that neither of them were working in schools any longer, but that they were sewing and knitting full time. The first and largest volume (from 1833 to 1845) details the personal expenses of Matilda Oliver. Her purchases included stationery, haircuts, combs, furniture, concerts, lectures, books at the Lyceum, transportation, charitable contributions, board, and rent. In addition to her personal expenses, Matilda recorded her purchases for her students and schoolroom. The last pages of the volume record her quarterly salary for teaching as well as her income during the years that she did not teach. The first part of the account book is kept as a day book, recording all her expenses together, in chronological order. After 1836 she began categorizing them into "personal expenses," "family expenses," "clothing," "charitable contributions," "books and stationery," "primary school expenses," and "board and rent." At the beginning of some of the categories, she included appropriate quotations, such as one advocating modest apparel. Volume two (from 1848 to 1851) is an account book kept by Eliza A. Oliver, also a teacher. Her personal expenses included travel, toothbrushes, combs, sewing supplies, and fabric. She also recorded her rent for a schoolroom and the purchase of a "French Gramaire" as well as tuition payment from students. Although it is not clear what she taught, Eliza's accounts seem to represent a different type of teaching venture from that of Matilda. While Matilda was paid a salary to work in a school, Eliza seems to have rented out a schoolroom and was paid by the students individually. A third volume (from 1856 to 1869) appears to be in Eliza's hand. It details payments and expenses for knitting. She lists items knitted (including socks, mittens, and bands) and the amount of money received for each one. The book also records inventories of yarn and knitted items on hand, as well as yarn expenses. The fourth volume (from 1867 to 1887) in the collection is in Matilda's hand. It lists expenditures for yarn as well as income from selling yarn and knitted items. In 1868, she, too, began including receipts for small sewing projects such as nightdresses, buttonholes, embroidery, and children's clothing. Some entries record payments made to Eliza for knitting.

The airbags instructions were easy to follow and easy to install. The air compressor kit is another story. It looked to difficult for me to try to install so I had it done professionaly and they even said it was difficult. It took them about 6 hours to complete the application. The system works well and I am confident it will perform when I need it to.

The Apostle's CreedWe believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; AND IN JESUS CHRIST His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.–AMEN. In brief, the Apostle's Creed states our faith in– God the Father, Jesus Christ His only Son, The Holy Spirit, The Church, Forgiveness of Sins, The Resurrection, and Life Everlasting. In 1896, Peter Banks (great-grandfather of Mrs. Beatrice Edwards and Mrs. Janet Wallace) felt the need to organize a church for black people in Worthington. Mr. Banks and four men–James Burkhead, J.T. Horton, C.B. Kiner, and D.H. Taborn (uncle of Mrs. Mary Walker)–worked diligently to create a church home for black people. On September 24, 1897, a lot was purchased from Mrs. Millie Altston and a building was moved to the lot and converted into a church. The church was named Bethel AME Church. By 1914, the old church was too small and a new church at 682 Plymouth Avenue was built in Worthington by Mr. C.E. Hard, a local carpenter. The building was dedicated in 1914 and renamed St. John AME. In 2004 the church relocated to 7700 Crosswoods Drive Columbus, Ohio.

News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines in one place, as soon as they're published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you would like the latest ICIS news headlines, simply click on the link in the left hand column.
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.
Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer. Here are some examples.

The Hover Rovers
Henricus Farrugia was an artist of Maltese ancestry, who was born at Port Said, Egypt. He moved to the UK in 1945, where he worked on comics for the British market through the Temple Art Agency. He started working for the Amalgamated Press in the late 1940s and was a regular contributor to TV Fun, Radio Fun and the war libraries. For these publications, he drew comics like 'The Fighting Seehawk', 'Pirate's Gold', 'Girl Behind the Gun', 'Call in the Yard', 'Calling Z9' and 'Roaring Rails', while sharing duties on 'Undersea Pirates' with George Heath throughout the 1950s.
The Man with a Donkey (Victor Summer Special 1970)
By the early 1960s, he was also contributing to D.C. Thomson. He did true war stories like 'The One Man Army', 'The Forgotten Fourteenth', 'Men from Camp Z' and 'Last Boy in Singapore', as well as 'The Purple Trumpet' in Victor. He additionally drew 'Gibson of the Guns', 'Squadron X', 'The Limping Man', 'The Hover Rovers' and 'Sergeant Sixty' for The Hornet and 'The Lost School' and 'The Target is Toronto' for Hotspur. Farrugia continued to work for Victor, Hornet and the Fleetway war libraries until his sudden death from a traffic accident in 1970.

June 29, 2016, 10:46 am
LeBron James will likely sign another two-year deal with an opt out on Year-2 this offseason.
Let's get this out of the way first: LeBron is not leaving Cleveland. Instead, after declining his player option last week he is looking to maximize his earning potential as the cap continues to rise.
Fantasy News
April 24, 2019, 2:18 amDamian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard put up an instant classic performance featuring a game-winning deep three, 10 total triples and a 50-spot in Tuesday's 118-115 closeout win over the Thunder in Portland.
Lillard started off Game 5 with 34 first-half points while playing all 24 minutes. He finished with seven boards, six dimes, three steals and a block while shooting 17-for-33 from the field and 6-for-8 from the line. Despite a big second-half Thunder run, Lillard kept it going all the way until the buzzer as his shot from near the logo fell, giving him an even 50 and a series win as he waived goodbye to the Thunder.
April 24, 2019, 2:08 amCJ McCollum - G - Trail Blazers
CJ McCollum put up 17 points (8-of-19 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one triple and two blocks in 32 minutes in Tuesday's closeout win over the Thunder.
McCollum sat a little more than usual in the first half after getting his third foul early, though he also ended with three fouls in another example of why coaches should just leave players in until they get their fourth or fifth. McCollum had been on fire in this series, averaging over 26 points per game coming into tonight's game. He and the Blazers now wait to see if they'll get the Nuggets or the Spurs in the next round.
April 24, 2019, 1:55 amEnes Kanter - C - Trail Blazers
Enes Kanter toughed out a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double over 32 minutes in Tuesday's Game 5 victory over the Thunder.
Kanter also had four assists and a block while shooting 6-for-9 from the floor tonight. He got pretty banged up in the first half, injuring his shoulder which was heavily wrapped after the game. Kanter averaged over 13 points and 10 rebounds in under 30 minutes for the series and he looks like one of the best mid-season signings in the league at this point.
April 24, 2019, 1:48 amMaurice Harkless - F - Trail Blazers
Maurice Harkless had 17 points on just nine shots with seven rebounds, an assist and a steal in 33 minutes on Tuesday vs. the Thunder.
It's not wise to rely on Harkless, but he can be the wildcard the Blazers need every few games. After closing out the Thunder tonight, they'll await the winner of the Spurs and Nuggets series.
April 24, 2019, 1:37 amPaul George - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Paul George had a huge game with 36 points (14-of-20 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and three 3-pointers in Tuesday's 118-115 road loss to the Blazers.
George was feeling it early, making his first five shots. He battled through first-half foul trouble and likely some lingering pain from his injury. But it wasn't quite enough as Damian Lillard out-played him in this one to end the series in Portland.
April 24, 2019, 1:30 amRussell Westbrook - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
Russell Westbrook put up one final triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists as the Thunder were eliminated from the playoffs by the Blazers on Tuesday.
Aside from making all three of his free throws, it was a microcosm of Westbrook's season. He shot just 11-of-31 (4-of-11 from three) and had four steals, two blocks and five turnovers in 45 minutes. There's no better value if you're looking to punt three categories next season.
April 24, 2019, 1:24 amDennis Schroder - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
Dennis Schroder went for 17 points on 7-of-10 from the field in addition to two rebounds, three assists, two treys and just one turnover in 33 minutes in Tuesday's Game 5 loss.
That makes it three straight games of 17 points and two threes for Schroder. It'll be interesting to see if he can carve out a slightly bigger role as he returns to OKC next season with the Thunder possibly looking to make some changes.
April 24, 2019, 1:19 amJerami Grant - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Jerami Grant had an incredibly efficient 16 points (7-for-8 FGs) to go with eight boards, one assist, three blocks and two threes in 44 minutes in Tuesday's close loss to the Blazers.
It was quite the fantasy line for Grant, though it will be his final one until October. The Thunder had a great shot at a win tonight, but the Blazers closed the game and series out in miracle fashion.
April 24, 2019, 1:03 amJamal Murray - G - Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray knocked down plenty of shots again on his way to a game-high 23 points (9-of-16 FGs) in 28 minutes in Tuesday night's 108-90 home win over the Spurs.
Consistently inconsistent, the streaky Murray put together a second straight great game tonight. In addition to the shooting, which included 4-for-9 from deep, he added four boards, seven dimes, two steals and a block. The Nuggets often go as he goes, so they'll look for him to keep it up in Game 6 in San Antonio.
April 24, 2019, 12:53 amNikola Jokic - C - Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic had another double-double on Tuesday vs. the Spurs, going for 16 points (5-for-11 FGs, 4-for-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two threes in 33 minutes.

The conventional wisdom holds that summer is for teens — hence so many superheroes, fart jokes and massive pieces of machinery — and that adults better wait until fall if they want to visit the multiplex. "Red 2" is set to turn the conventional wisdom upside down.
Three years after the first "Red" movie put guns into the hands of actors of a certain age and grossed nearly $200 million worldwide, Friday's sequel arrives squarely targeting patrons in their 50s and 60s. Yet even though the first film was a solid hit, the second installment was not considered a sure thing until "Red" also generated outsized DVD receipts.
"People running the studios are not stupid, but they just don't see certain things coming," said the 67-year-old Helen Mirren, who stars in both films as the sniper Victoria. "They are constantly finding new audiences, but they've always been out there."
Thanks mostly to older moviegoer interest, Summit Entertainment's "Red 2" is expected to have a strong opening weekend against three other wide releases, the thriller "The Conjuring," the animated "Turbo" and the sci-fi tale "R.I.P.D."
Audience-tracking surveys suggest a very close fight for first place among all new films except the dead-on-arrival "R.I.P.D." The $84-million "Red 2" is likely to improve upon the first film's debut in 2010, when the original "Red" opened to $21.8 million.
Just as with the first film, "Red 2" blends midlife crisis with action comedy. In the new film, a band of semi-retired spies and assassins (led by the 58-year-old Bruce Willis and the 59-year-old John Malkovich) is drawn into a bomb plot tied to a jailed scientist who may not be in full control of his faculties (the 75-year old Anthony Hopkins). The cast includes Catherine Zeta-Jones and Korean martial arts star Byung-hun Lee.
In keeping with its predecessor, "Red 2" — the acronym for Retired: Extremely Dangerous — takes the ensemble cast to an array of exotic locations, including Moscow, London and Paris (a late substitute for Montreal, which couldn't double as the French capital). The film's action sequences are bigger than the previous film, too, which is why it cost much more than the $60-million original.
Unlike the first film, which debuted in October, "Red 2" is opening in the middle of the summer, a bold gambit by Summit. But several releases earlier this season have dramatized that older moviegoers are ready and willing to visit theaters.

Two-thirds of the opening weekend audience for Brad Pitt's "World War Z" was 25 and over, 73% of the ticket buyers for "Star Trek: Into Darkness" were older than 25 and more than 45% of people who showed up for "The Great Gatsby" were 35 and older.
In recent years, several titles performed exceptionally well thanks to older customers, including last year's "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" (worldwide gross: $136.8 million), and 2010 and 2012's two "Expendables" movies, which have a combined worldwide gross of more than $574 million.
All the same, "Red 2" didn't get an official go-ahead until the first film performed exceptionally well on video. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that broadened the audience for the movie and made a sequel possible.
"We didn't succeed in getting a lot of kids to come to the first movie in theaters," Di Bonaventura said. "Adults saw it, and decided it was OK for their kids when it came out on DVD. The word of mouth on it was really, really good — it became a family movie."
Audiences may detect that the cast, much like "Ocean's Eleven," has a good time making the "Red" movies.
Mirren said that the making of the films is a bit like a traveling summer camp. At the film's recent junket in New York, when actors typically scurry from the host hotel to see friends and family, the "Reds 2" cast went out for dinner together.

"We don't think of ourselves as old," Mirren said. "Experienced is a better word. Definitely."
Original filmmaker Robert Schwentke, who directed this weekend's "R.I.P.D.," was replaced by Dean Parisot, who made the action comedy "Galaxy Quest" and has directed episodes of television's "The Good Wife" and "Justified." Both films were written by the team of Jon and Erich Hoeber. The movie was delayed briefly because the script wasn't ready when Willis had an opening.
Parisot said the challenge with "Reds 2" was striking a balance between the film's humor and pyrotechnics. "It's an odd tone you have to strike," the director said. "You have to make a good action movie to make it work as a comedy. If you go too far to either side, it becomes something else."
The 61-year-old director said the town's bias against filmmakers and performers older than 50 is hardly new.
"For the last 50 years, they have thrown away both actors and directors in their 50s — look what happened to Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges," Parisot said. "But they're ignoring the fact that there's a baby boom audience that grew up loving movies, and now that their kids are in or graduated from college, they are looking for something to do on a Friday night."
Thanks to the first film, Di Bonaventura knows that the "Reds" concept works. Like any producer, he's still nervous about the sequel's commercial outcome.
"The first time, there was a lot of skepticism in town," said the producer, who is now making the next "Transformers" sequel. "Now the fear is, 'How many people will come to see our movie? Did we pick the right weekend?' "

The third time was not a charm for Lonnie Dupre.
Pummeled by bad weather and with supplies running low, the Grand Marais adventurer Sunday abandoned his third attempt to become the first person to solo climb Alaska's 20,320-foot Mount McKinley in January.
"It was virtually a life-or-death decision for Dupre," his support team wrote in a news release issued shortly before 10 a.m. Central time Sunday.
"Even if he had made the summit today, which would have meant a 12-hour or more travel day between 17,200 and the summit and back, he knew he would not have had the energy or means to survive back at the 17,200 camp," the release said. "Monday's predicted 50 mph winds and cold temperatures would translate into a windchill of -50 degrees F. Combined with an unfavorable long-term forecast and dwindling food and fuel supplies, Dupre knew his chance of survival would be minimal."
"These storms on Denali can last a long time, and a climber should never be caught with less than three days of food and eight days of fuel at any point," Dupre said in the news release.
McKinley — also known as Denali — is North America's highest mountain.
Dupre reached high camp at 17,200 feet on Friday, after climbing nearly 12 hours from 14,200 feet in temperatures of 35 below zero and winds of 40 mph. He planned to rest Saturday and, weather permitting, attempt to reach the summit and return to high camp Sunday.
But extremely hard snow had made it impossible to build a good snow cave at high camp, and instead of getting much-needed rest, Dupre spent the night trying to stay warm. The temperature in the snow cave was 35 below zero when he called his support crew at 4 a.m. Sunday.
Dupre started descending the mountain Sunday, and will head as weather allows to base camp at 7,200 feet, where a plane will take him off the mountain. Dupre started his climb from 7,200 feet on Jan. 8.
"Although disappointed that his third consecutive try at a solo summit in January was not successful, Dupre does not consider his expedition a failure," the release said. "During the expedition, he conducted research and gathered microbe samples for the Biosphere 2 project run by Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation. The data will give a better understanding of how climate change affects the production of living matter in extreme environments."
Another purpose of Dupre's climb was to make a 20-minute documentary film called "Cold Love" to call attention to climate change.
Severe weather also thwarted Dupre's attempts to reach the summit in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, he also reached 17,200 feet, where he was pinned down by high winds and ran low on food. Last winter, Dupre called it quits after being pinned down at 14,200 feet for nearly a week by hurricane-force winds.
A team of two Russians reached the summit in January 1998. In total, 16 climbers from nine expeditions have reached McKinley's summit during the winter. Six climbers died on those expeditions.
Dupre is scheduled to talk about his expeditions on Mount McKinley, around Greenland and to the North Pole on Feb. 19 as part of Duluth Pack's 2013 Outdoor Adventure Series. The free presentation starts at 7 p.m. at the store, 365 Canal Park Drive.

Here is some important information about how some physicians choose to use Petocin to induce labor. The link below is from a blog article from the following source:
Jill from Keyboard Revolutionary wrote about a new term that she recently came across- "Pit to distress."
"Pit to distress." How have I not heard about this? Apparently it's quite en vogue in many hospitals these days. Googling the term brings up a number of pages discussing the practice, which entails administering the highest possible dosage of Pitocin in order to deliberately distress the fetus, so a C-section can be performed.
Yes folks, you read that right. All that Pit is not to coerce mom's body into birthing ASAP so they can turn that moneymaking bed over, but to purposefully squeeze all the oxygen out of her baby so they can put on a concerned face and say, "Oh dear, looks like we're heading to the OR!"
The term is found in this 2006 article in this Wall Street Journal article:
Oxytocin is a hormone released during labor that causes contractions of the uterus. The most common brand name is Pitocin, which is a synthetic version. It's often used to speed or jump-start labor, but if the contractions become too strong and frequent, the uterus becomes "hyperstimulated," which may cause tearing and slow the supply of blood and oxygen to the fetus. Though there are no precise statistics on its use, IHI says reviews of medical-malpractice claims show oxytocin is involved in more than 50 percent of situations leading to birth trauma.
"Pitocin is used like candy in the OB world, and that's one of the reasons for medical and legal risk," says Carla Provost, assistant vice president at Baystate, who notes that in many hospitals it is common practice to "pit to distress" — or use the maximum dose of Pitocin to stimulate contractions.
It's also used on this AllNurses forum:
I agree, and call aggressive pit protocols the "pit to distress, then cut" routine. Docs who have high c/s rates and like doing them, are the same ones that like the rapid fire knock em down/drag em out pit routines.
"Pit to distress" appears on page 182 of the textbook Labor and Delivery Nursing by Michelle Murray and Gayle Huelsmann. In this example, the onus is on the nurse to defend the patient from the doctor if he or she sees the order "pit to distress" by immediately notifying the supervisor or charge nurse.
Jill asks the questions, "OBs, do you still think women are choosing not to birth at your hospitals because Ricki Lake said homebirths are cool? Do you still think we are only out for a "good experience?"
I imagine that all of us who have openly questioned the practices of obstetricians in the U.S. have been hit with the same backlash. We must be selfish, irrational and motivated by our own personal satisfaction. We've been indoctrinated into a subculture of natural birth zealots and want to force pain on other women or just feel mighty and superior. We fetishize vaginal birth and attach magical powers to a so-called natural entrance to the world.
Nah. It's stuff like "pit to distress" that made me run for the nearest freestanding birth center. If I had to do it all over again, I'd stay home.
Have you heard this term before? What is your experience with "Pit to distress?"
Before you comment here, please go applaud Jill from Keyboard Revolutionary for blogging about this term and enjoy her brilliant and honest commentary.
More discussion of "Pit to distress" on the Internet:
The then labor and delivery nurse who blogs at At Your Cervix wrote this in April of 2007:
I see the wide use of cytotec (misoprostil) for inductions. I see what it does to a woman's uterus and to her baby. Not to mention - it's not FDA approved for use as a labor induction agent in pregnant women! I see many, many women being induced with a "hospital made" form of prostaglandin gel to induce labor. I also see a HUGE number of pitocin inductions/augmentations, where pitocin is titrated at such high doses, so quickly, that it's like we're trying to blow the baby out of the woman's uterus.
Many of the obsetricians that I work with are eager to "get her delivered" as quickly as possible. There is also the "pit to distress" or "make the baby prove itself" - in other words, keep cranking that pitocin up until the baby crumps into fetal distress and the obstetrician does a stat c-section —- all so the doctor can be done, and get out of the hospital. Why wait 12-14 hours for a natural labor, when you can be done in less than an hour?
Our induction rates are through the roof. The nurses are rarely told the unit statistics, and when we are given them, they seem grossly understated. The L&D nurses know how many patients are induced or augmented, day after day, because we are the ones there, admitting the patient, and running their pitocin. We see them in massive amounts of pain from what is a very unnatural process designed to speed up the labor process, thus leading to increased epidural rates due to the higher levels of pain from synthetic oxytocin versus natural oxytocin.
The term was discussed in this Alexian Brothers Medical Center Employee Newsletter
Back in 2006, our tradition, like most maternity units, was to induce mothers when the fetus reached term gestation which was 37-40 weeks gestation. The medication, oxytocin (Pitocin), was administered to high dose levels to affect delivery. At times, the over-zealous use of oxytocin led to uterine hyperstimulation (terminology changed in September, 2008 to tachysystole), where the contractions were occurring too close together to allow the fetus sufficient time to recover before the next contraction would begin. The notion of "Pit to distress" was commonplace back then.
It was mentioned in this Mothering message board thread about Cytotec:
With a reactive baby (either by NST or auscultation) 25 mcg cytotec can be placed in the back of the vagina for cervical ripening 24 hrs prior to hospital induction and the mom sent home to wait, after observing her and baby for an hour. The vast majority (like 90%) will go into spontaneous labor before coming in for their "scheduled" induction. My biggest problem with cytotec is that we just hit moms with it over and over again, and then , surprise, when it does kick in, there's too much on board, sorta like "pit to distress".
Pit to distress was mentioned in the comments of the post My Rant on Pitocin on Knitted in the Womb after the blog's author, a former chemist and doula, was scolded by an anonymous OB nurse for not understanding the difference between microunits and milliliters when it came to dosing Pitocin.
I'm a trained chemist. I hold a bachelors degree in biochemistry, did some course work towards a masters in chemistry, and worked for 6 years in an R&D lab in the specialty chemicals industry. I probably know WAY more about different units of measure than you do. I used "microunits" and "milliliters" in my discussion appropriately.
I'm not sure why I have to resuscitate a newborn to have "been there," but since it seems to be very important to you, I'll talk about it. 90% of the time labor should go just fine, with no need for resuscitation—this according to the World Health Organization. Of the other 10%, not all of them would require newborn resuscitation. If you've found that a large percentage of the births you've been at have required resuscitation, perhaps you should look at the medical interventions that might be causing that. From my end, the only clients I've had who had babies who required resuscitation were cases where there had been "Pit to distress."
