♫ Tất cả những gì em muốn, là được thấy chị biến thành ... ♫
|—Opal, " Giant Woman "
Opal( Tiếng Việt là Ngọc Mắt Mèo) là một hợp thể của Pearl và Amethyst. Opal xuất hiện lần đầu trong tập "Giant Woman".
Ngoại hình
Cô ấy là một cô gái mạnh mẽ và lạnh lùng như tảng đá, điểm đó giống chị và cô ấy dong dỏng cao - điểm đó giống Pearl.
|—Amethyst, "Giant Woman"
Opal có da màu ngà sáng, mái tóc dài ngả trắng. Tóc dài qua bắp chân 1 chút, tóc được cột thành kiểu tóc đuôi ngựa bởi 1 chiếc băng đô màu đỏ nhạt. Ngoài ra thì trước phần đuôi ngựa thì cô có mái tóc dài tới cằm và 2 bím tóc ở 2 bên được tết bởi dây màu vàng nhạt, mái tóc có phần giống tóc của Pearl. Opal có dáng người ôm nhưng săn chắc cùng 2 đôi tay mảnh khảnh. Cô có khuôn mặt trái xoang, cô có mũi nhọn như của Pearl cũng như đôi môi căng dày của Amethyst. Vị trí ngọc của Opal trùng với vị trí ngọc của Pearl và Amethyst. Opal rất cao, ít nhất là gấp đôi so với Garnet. Chiều cao của cô có phần tăng vì luôn đi theo kiểu en pointe,( Chủ yếu đứng bằng đầu ngón chân ). Trang phục của cô bao gồm áo fuchsia, quần dài quá gối màu tím nhạt và giày vàng .
Trước tái tạo (Lần đầu xuất hiện)
Opal had a pastel teal top with a drape in the front and back that went down to her shins, featuring an accented star at the base. The way she wore these drapes were similar to Amethyst.
Sau tái tạo (trước đây)
Trong "The Return", Opal có chịu một ít sự thay đổi. Cô có dải băng quanh eo cô và thêm một đường viền cổ áo ở trên. Bề ngoài của cô thay đổi cùng sự hồi phục của Pearl trong "Steven the Sword Fighter". Tuy vậy, since she appeared in a white and green tinted light, the colors of her clothing are yet to be confirmed. They are assumed to be the same, with slight differences.
Hiện tại
As seen in "Log Date 7 15 2", Opal has undergone another change due to Amethyst's regeneration in "Reformed". The sash around her waist is now replaced with a yellow waist base and light green design with straps overlapping the yellow part. Her neckline has also become a singular dark green color.
Tính cách
Opal là sự hỗn hợp cả phép thuật và hình dáng của bọn chị hợp nhất thành một người.
|—Pearl, "Giant Woman"
Amethyst và Pearl cực kì mạnh mẽ khi họ có cùng một ý nghĩ trong dạng Opal. Amethyst's ability to live in the moment along with Pearl's obsessive single-mindedness results in a stable fusion. Opal achieves a peace in that balance that Amethyst and Pearl rarely experience on their own. At times, Opal is so calm and at peace that it causes her to forget the task at hand (for example, forgetting to retrieve the Heaven Beetle after rescuing Steven). In addition, according to the book "Guide To The Crystal Gems", Opal is very forgetful.
The balance that holds Opal together is, by far, the thinnest of all the other known fusions. The ease with which Opal can separate is very different from that of Garnet, who is almost impossible to unfuse except under extreme emotion, or if by force (Ruby and Sapphire can willingly separate anytime they wish). If Pearl and Amethyst have conflicting views while fused, this can cause Opal to revert to her constituent Gems; the slightest dissonance between the two poses a danger of involuntary defusion.[1]
Opal's personality is theorized to be a combination of Amethyst's power, along with Pearl's grace and decisive determination. She appears to be more open to Steven's desire to have fun and play, as she sang part of his song back to him. This is a trait that can be traced back to Amethyst.
In "Fusion", Opal shows both of Pearl and Amethyst's personalities by posing with elegant and silly poses.
Khả năngOpal possesses standard Gem abilities and traits.
Opal is extraordinarily agile, limber, and gracefully elegant, being able to stand on the tips of her toes constantly and execute acrobatic reflexes. Because of this, she is swift and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent she comes across. Opal can jump exceptionally high and far, even from a stationary position. These abilities also grant her impressive parkour and free-running skills, allowing her to scale almost any surface or terrain quickly. Due to Opal being a fusion of Amethyst and Pearl, she can summon either Amethyst's whip or Pearl's spear at will. Opal is able to combine these two weapons and make her primary weapon, an opalescent recurve bow.
Kĩ năng
- Cung thuật: Opal's weapon is an opalescent recurve bow that fires arrows made of a light-based energy. The bow is roughly as tall as Opal herself. She fuses both of her fusees weapons together to form her bow. Pearl's spear makes up the limbs of the bow while the lash of Amethyst's whip becomes the string. Her arrows are summoned when the bow is drawn back. She currently has two known kinds of arrows.
- Mũi tên bỏ bóng: These arrows form an alarm which can cause a large explosion which emits a bright light on impact, as well as bearing a striking resemblance to the energy blasts that Pearl's spear is capable of. Gems that are pierced by these arrows have their gemstone(s) automatically bubbled and teleported to the Burning Room.
- Đa tiễn: These arrows also have the ability to split into multiple, smaller arrows that can attack multiple targets simultaneously.
- Đi trên nước: Opal có thể đi trên nước trong tập "Giant Woman". Cô có cùng khả năng với Pearl, Lapis Lazuli, và Lion.

Nấp đi.
|—Opal, "Giant Woman"
Opal retains a protective nature over Steven from Pearl and Amethyst. She is willing to play around with Steven, as when he asked if she knew him, she replied by smiling and sang his song back to him.
Chị thấy em cũng đã giúp các đồng đội của mình hợp nhất.
|—Garnet, "Giant Woman"
Opal and Garnet are on seemingly good terms and work together well. When she returned with Steven in "Giant Woman", Garnet did not seem surprised and simply asked her if she completed her mission. Later, in "The Return", Opal recognizes Garnet's leadership and awaits her command to fire her arrow/arrows, working together without problems while attempting to destroy the Gem Warship. They also work fairly easily together in "Log Date 7 15 2", where Garnet seems entirely unfazed by Pearl's and Amethyst's sudden fusion and simply states that they did a good job lifting.
Xuất hiện
Tập ngắn
- "Fusion" (vai khách mời không nói)
Tin bên lề
- Ngoại hình và khả năng của Opal có nhiều phần giống với Pearl .
- Việc này cũng liên quan đến vũ khí của Pearl; Pearl's spear not only makes up the recurve bow but the arrows are visually similar to the energy blast her spear can emit. Meanwhile, Amethyst's whip merely acts as the bowstring.
- However, Opal's bow has two yellow flexible star-shaped cross guards that are identical to Amethyst's whip.
- Việc này cũng liên quan đến vũ khí của Pearl; Pearl's spear not only makes up the recurve bow but the arrows are visually similar to the energy blast her spear can emit. Meanwhile, Amethyst's whip merely acts as the bowstring.
- Opal is the only Gem with an exclusively ranged weapon. This is most likely due to Pearl's spear having the ability to create multiple energy blasts despite being a melee weapon. She can also throw this spear with impressive speed and accuracy, wielding it with impeccable skill.
- Opal appears to be almost twice the size of Garnet. It should be noted that in all her appearances Opal seems to stand on her tip toes, increasing her height.
- Pearl mentions Opal as an "amalgam". This is also the name of their fusion dance theme.
- Opal is among the most human-looking fusions; only Garnet, Stevonnie, and Rainbow Quartz have more human-like appearances.
- In the "Guide to the Crystal Gems" Garnet confirms that Pearl and Amethyst create a perfect balance when they form Opal but can easily break apart if either of them loses concentration for a moment.
- In the "Fusion" short, Opal is referenced as an example of how fusion is hard for Gems who have trouble collaborating.
- It is suggested in "Giant Woman", that Amethyst and Pearl used to fuse more often because they used to get along better.
- In the "Fusion" short, Opal is referenced as an example of how fusion is hard for Gems who have trouble collaborating.
- When Opal's arrow bubbled the Gem Shards from the Big Bird, her bubbles were colored mint-green.
- Opal's fusion dance is shown the first time in "Log Date 7 15 2".
- Additionally, Amethyst and Pearl are shown to have a much easier time fusing than before.
- In "Know Your Fusion", an illustration of Opal is seen on a "test your strength" device. On this device, Opal is considered stronger than Garnet, but not as strong as Sugilite.
- Opal currently has the most regenerations out of all currently existing fusions with the exception of Stevonnie, who's outfits mainly consist of Steven and Connie's combined.

- Opal closely resembles Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Time, Empowerment, Creation and Destruction, featuring four arms, long hair, and a gemstone located on the forehead.
- Additionally, Opal was originally planned to make a manji (a Hindu symbol of peace) with her arms when summoning her weapon, of which Kali is commonly associated with, but was changed due to it's resemblance to a swastika.[2]
- She is also similar to the design of Nabooru from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; even to the point of having her pointed nose.
- She also resembles the Hindu deity Lakshmi, who, like Opal, has four arms. Opal's weaponry also revolves around light, something Lakshmi is closely associated with.
- Opal's theme is a style of music called High-Energy Piano Anthem, a type of music invented by Masami Ueda, the composer for the Bayonetta games.

The 2-Rider electric is the ideal city bike. The parallel tandem has been riding the streets of Vienna for a couple of years now, sometimes on bike lanes but mostly on the road. Because of the double-track build of this unique bike it is well noticed in traffic and not easily run off the road like a common bike. This double bicycle claims a traffic lane to itself forcing cars to overtake giving a wide berth.
An electric motor is very convenient for keeping up in road traffic especially for acceleration at the start and also for going uphill. In everyday use the Pedelec motor, centre drive or electric assist as we call it provides sufficient assistance for cycling with pleasure.

FOLSOM -- After more than 20 years in Folsom, Brighton School is closing its doors.
"There was an email I believe on Monday, because of some rumors," parent Mike Fallon said. "That was the first kind of indication."
Fallon has two kids, ages 4 and 8, who attend the school. He says this is not the first time poor management of Brighton School has disrupted his family's life.
"I don't feel as angry as I did last time," Fallon said.
In January, two of Brighton School's preschool locations closed in Folsom and Granite Bay.
"And they gave us no notification and told us to get out in two days," he told FOX40.
Now, their third location, located at the city of Folsom's Natoma Station Park, has breached its lease.
The city owns the building the school occupies, and a city spokesperson says in the past 10 years the school has twice defaulted on its lease and defaulted on a repayment agreement.
"That's a bit shocking for a place that was just enrolling people like a week ago," Fallon said.
FOX40 was told the school was collecting tuition from families while not informing them the school filed for bankruptcy last year.
The school's CEO declined to comment on the closure.
As many as 30 teachers and staff will likely now lose their jobs.
"It's heartbreaking. We know the teachers, we have synergy with them and all that," Fallon said. "You lose that going to a new place."
Fallon says he's not holding onto hope that he'll get his deposit money back, which was several hundred dollars.
Meanwhile, he, like so many other Brighton families, will have to find a new school for his kids.
"The time off work to go find another place. I mean it's more of those kinds of things, right? It's the hassle, the stress of having to go find something right now because, you know, Monday morning I got to go to work," Fallon said.
The City of Folsom says it is pursuing legal action against the school to recover some of its money. The Folsom-Cordova Unified School District is also helping families find classrooms for their kids.

Microsoft support and the BSOD
I was on a call to Microsoft support today for an issue with Communication server 2007. During the initial steps of the support call when the technician was trying to setup the Easy Assist session, his computer started a memory dump with a BSOD. He had to jump to another machine while rebooting the now inoperable computer. He apologized politely, but it was no big thing for me, I actually got a kick out of it. It also helped that the Guy (Hi Patrick), was a BSG fan and we chatted a little about the upcoming Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica…
review – at&t TILT
I have had the TILT with at&t for about a week now. I have to say this is the best phone I have used to date. Here are some highlights of why I like this device..
1. Its sleek and visually cool looking, coloring is modern and glossy.
2. The weight of the phone is indicative of being well built, it feels sturdy and tough.
3. It has plenty of onboard memory; you can customize the device, install apps and have plenty of onboard memory left without the need of a storage card.
4. Onboard GPS radio is neat; this is my first phone with true onboard GPS. A perk is that both Google maps and windows live search work with the onboard GPS radio for free.
5. The speed of this device to a data network is amazing. Over HSDPA I can download at nearly 1mbps which is not bad, although this connection is theoretically capable of much faster sped, but it's still way better than EDGE!
6. You can use this device as a wireless modem, so when you travel or go somewhere that doesn't offer free internet access, you can connect over Bluetooth to a laptop and get on the internet for free using your phone's data plan.
7. Windows mobile 6 pro seems much more stable and visually attractive.
8. Battery life is not bad, in one day I am only using less than 50% of the battery with normal to light usage.
9. You can be on the phone and receive e-mail and use the data connection at the same time. No longer does using the phone disable all other radios on the device. You can now get important e-mail while talking on the phone.
10. Mobility! I can browse the web, make a blog post, track my position with GPS, take pictures, connect to wifi, use bluetooth devices, conect to VPN, run Citrix applications and sooooo much more, all while on the go.
There is more I will post about this device later, but those are the main points…
Computer System upgrades
This weekend I will be doing some computer system upgrades to my home computer systems. Not all of this will be accomplished this weekend, but the following is a list of items I plan to take care of starting today and finishing by mid week next week.
1. Install new memory into main computer, this is 2GB of DDR800 PC6400 DDR2 high performance RAM. Replacing another set of high performance RAM that never did work well with my motherboard, and was only 1GB.
2. Install upgraded CPU for the main computer. Installing new Intel P4 D 3GHz Dual-Core processor, replacing older 3.2GHz HT P4 processor. Slightly less MHz than the old processor, but provides dual-core support and better performance for Vista when we do that upgrade.
3. Install new Processor for the multimedia computer. Installing new AMD Athlon 64 2.4GHz CPU to replace the AMD Semperon 1.8GHz (mobile) chip that is currently in the unit.
4. Install new server computer. I will be adding a Dell Optiplex GX260 SFF desktop class machine as a server to my home network. This will end up powering Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and some other services on my home network. This will replace older and very slow compaq desktop that is on its last leg. This is a 2.4GHz P4, 512MB RAM, 20GB hard drive system, its small, cool and quiet. Perfect for my "server closet".
In addition, the following upgrades are planned for the coming months…
1. Upgrade existing home photo printer. Currently have HP PhotoSmart 7550. Will be selling this on ebay to purchase new photo printer.
2. Upgrade existing LCD Flat panel monitor. Will be selling existing unit to purchase a new better model, at least 19″.
Crazy trip to the store
On Tuesday night, I was driving home when I get a call from Liz. She sounds irritated and explains that in an act of clumbsiness while in the kids in the kitchen, she accidently knocked over the box of shells (pasta) that she was prepairing for dinner, and they spilled all over the floor. She asked me if I could run to the store and pickup a box of shells. At this point it was 6pm, and the meal she was wanting to make takes an hour to complete. I tried to talk her into doing something else, but she refused and insisted she needed a box of shells. I reluctantly agreed and stopped by a local store on the way home. I went in and grabbed some banannas too since we needed those, this was in an attempt to increase the amount of money I'd spend at checkout, since I hate coming up to a register and the amount being like a dollor or so, and having to use my debit card since I don't carry cash.
I should explain at this point that the other day I got tired of my wallett staining my pants and being uncomfortable in general (since I sit at a desk most of the day). So I took my wallett out of my back pocket and put it in my laptop case. Those of you who know me, also know that my memory isn't so good.
I go into the store and grab the items I need, also grabbed a little something for the kids (ok and me too), and headed to the checkout. I put my items on the belt and reached for my wallett and was horrified to find it missing. I frantically put back the items I had picked out and went out to my car empty handed. I did however spent about 15 minutes in the store looking around and arguing with Liz on the phone about what kind of shells to get. But left with nothing.
I get home and fully expect to have an arguement about what had happened and Liz would rush out to the store to get what she needs on her own, etc, etc. It was not a pretty picture I had predicted would take place. I get home and she meets me at the door with a kiss and is perfectly calm. She had talked to my mom and had decided to do this meal another day. We had something else and it was no big deal. I was totally surprised that she was not going to push it and it actually turned out really nicely, except that I had to put back my cocoa rice crispies I was drueling over at the checkout lane… 🙂
Movie Review – The Final Cut
I got this movie from Netflix called "The Final Cut" starring Robin Williams. Its kind of a sci-fi movie, but actually more drama than anything. Williams plays a "cutter" who is basically a high tech audio/video guy who works to put together "rememberings" for deceased people who had this computer chip in their brains that recorded everything they saw and heard. He took the "bad" out and put together memories for family members and let them remember what they wanted to remember of the person who had died. Well he is the guy everyone goes to when no one else wants to the job because of how bad a person was. Williams character is tortured by guilt from a childhood memory shown in the beginning of the movie where apparently another kid dies basically because of his (Williams character's) actions. He finds out that he actually has a chip in his brain (which is against the code of the cutters). So he quits doing that, and has a friend try to replay his memories while he is sitll alive. He finds that his childhood memory was tainted by age and inaccuracy and that the boy he thought had died actually lived. One of his high profile cases was for a lawyer in the company that makes these chips, and there is a group wanting to bring down this company. They end up trying to get the chip from Williams character and it ends up getting destroyed. However, Williams character (Allan) has watched the footage of this persons life and all this information is now stored in his chip. So the bad guy chases him down and tells him he wants to get the data from his brain. The bad guy can't quite bring himself to shoot Allan, so his accomplice shoots him suddenly and to your surprise right at the end. The movie pretty much ends there, with a final scene of the bad guy looking through Allan's memories and tell him (actually his reflection in the mirror) that his life will have purpose and that it won't all be for nothing.
The movie was ok, but the ending sucks. Its almost like they were trying to prepare for a sequel, but I don't think thats the point. I just don't like movies with no closure. The bad guy pretty much got away with his acts of badness, and the movie just ends there. I probably would not have watched it if I had known this, but it was ok. Not something I'll watch a second time. Cool idea with the brain chip thing, but it was kind of slow, no real action and low on the drama side. And the ending stinks.
How many bits?
In an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation, Data reveals that he has a total memory capacity of 400 quadrillion bits. This spisode is entitled, "Measure of a Man". I just had this random thought today, and googled the math to find that 400 quadrillion bits = 46 566 128.7 gigabytes which is a LOT of space! Over 46.5 million GB! Now thats some nice storage space. That also equates to 45 474.7351 terabytes.
Computer problems
Sometimes even us computer professionals make really dumb mistakes on our computers. I was downloading some software last night and messing around a bit, when I opened something I knew I shouldn't have. I had some zip files on my desktop that I had downloaded and when I tried to open them (without first scanning them for viruses) they just said the archive was damaged. But I could extract them with winrar. So I figured I just did something bad! I was adding and removing software from the PC, when I had to reboot. After the reboot, Windows would load to a blue screen waiting to open the logon box, but instead I just got STOP errors and Winlogon would crash and do a memory dump. So I stayed up till about 11:30 working on it, trying to get it working before Liz got home so she would have her PC today. I was never able to get it working and even tried some live linux CDs just to get her something to use. No luck! So I am going to try a different tool tonight to see if I can get to the system restore feature of Windows XP (since not even Safe Mode will work). If that works it makes it easier for me to backup and then re-load everything, but either way, it looks I'll spend my weekend re-loading our PC again! I seem to be doing that more and more frequently lately. I wish I had a nice powerful server I could run Virtual server 2005 on, then I could just setup a virtual PC for all my downloading and testing, then it wouldn't screw up my PC! I think I may also start making routine backups with ghost or something like that once I get it back up and running. I get the feeling that I need to do some hardware swapping too, since the machine seems so slow. Its got good stuff in it, but its just not as fast as it used to be. I could probably use a new hard drive, memory and motherboard. We use our computers a lot, and they run almost all the time, so things do tend to wear out!
Windows Mobile 5 and ActiveSync issue
Out of memory
This can happen when you have set up ActiveSync to sync automatically over frequent intervals, and then you attempt to perform a manual sync. It occurs because the device thinks it is out of memory. Try these steps:
Perform a soft reset. Then attempt to sync.
If that didn't work, check available memory: Press Start and select Settings. On the System tab, select Memory. If the amount of Free memory is very small, you may need to delete add-on applications or purge old photos, videos or other large files to free up more space on your device.
It happns without warning and I can only tell its happening when I realize I haven't gotten any e-mail in pocket Outlook lately. When I check the ActiveSync screen I can see the view status link which shows me the above error. I have plenty of memory left, about 30MB total and I have a 1GB SD Card too. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop the errors, but a soft reset resolves it for a few days at a time.]]>
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Its the name of a family of bacteria that has caused my poor little family a fair share of discomfort. Liz and the girls have been dealing with folliculitis, which was caused by this bacteria. We thought it might be chickenpox at first, but were releived to find out it was just an infection. Liz has a severe case of it, and is taking an antibiotic for it. Hopefully in a week or so it will be a distant memory. Amazing how the smallest little germs can cause such large problems in people.

Racial disharmony is tearing communities apart, both inside and outside the church. But Jesus Christ is, and was, a great reconciler. Warmth, regard, and respect emanated from His person toward others-all others. Part of this allure was the fact that Jesus was comfortable in His own skin. This made others who approached Him comfortable in their skin too. This quality fuels the deconstruction of walls-the tearing down of barriers that keep us apart. In One in Christ, pastor and NBA diversity consultant David Ireland shows us that this quality can be learned. The cellular structure of Christianity is the ability to be cross-cultural. The Great Commission proclaims it. Jesus said "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations." The word nation is the Greek word ethnos, from which we derive the English word ethnic. Essentially, the last charge Jesus gave was for His followers to become cross-cultural ambassadors. This is not optional: we must each become racially accommodating.
"Shared through Robinson's warm and passionate voice, this discourse encourages listeners to act lovingly toward everyone around them, encouraging unity through grace and intentionality." - Audiofile

Alpha is one of the world's only major localization companies that uses an in-house model, meaning consistency and quality for our clients. With Alpha, whether the project is a small document or a major software translation of several million words, you know the team who will be translating your materials. Each and every time.
This means we are also the human face of translation, providing insight, experience and open communication from our translators right through to our account managers.
Localizing, our way, since 1987
Alpha was founded in 1987, with a vision of translation and localization that was all our own. Isabelle Weiss, the founder, believed that the quality of translation lay in the quality of the translators. Where many other translation companies were set up to use a varied group of freelancers, Isabelle instead rigorously tested and hired a full-time, in-house team.
Our team then put technology at the heart of our processes, long before it was the norm. With our own developers and engineers within the company, we found that we were able to adapt and integrate with the technology our clients wanted to use, or to provide them with our preferred tools. We have continued to push technological boundaries ever since.
UK translation firm to American translation firm – and beyond
Alpha's early years saw collaborations with a series of ground-breaking tech start-ups, which went on to become some of the largest names in global technology. Many of these were American firms, and we swiftly moved to open offices in Silicon Valley to help serve them.
We grew with our clients, becoming a localization team hundreds-strong and spread across multiple continents. We moved into other sectors, bringing in industry experts in a great range of fields to make sure that we provided the specialist knowledge that was needed.
We are now one of the top localization service providers in the world, providing large-scale projects to many multi-national corporations and household names. But we have never lost our commitment to that in-house localization model. We know that it works, and that's what makes our clients keep coming back.
Our vision
To provide localization in every language and to every culture. Our in-house model allows collaboration between expert translators and cutting-edge technology, delivering the most engaging content for international corporations.

5x7 watercolorI have always loved watercolor, and due to my new art form using the magazine pages, I haven't had much of a chance to'practice.' I have some new watercolor paper that I wanted to try (Bockingford) so I cut some 5x7's and drew this flag off and painted it. It didn't take long since it was small. I do like the new paper!
I bought it to cut up for a sketch book so I will be using more of it.
I still love to paint our flag.

Violent crimes are typically categorized as murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. In 2017, there were a combined total of 35,644 violent crimes in the state of Arizona. This is the highest number of violent criminal acts ever recorded (dating back to 1960). Below is a recap of the worst our state has to face.
4 Most Violent Crimes Common in Arizona
While some parts of our state are safer than others, there is an enormous amount of violent crime taking place every day that we simply do not see.
#4 Murder
This is divided into first- and second-degree murder, with the former being the most serious crime possible to be charged with. Arizona is one of the states that carries the death penalty for first-degree murder, with life imprisonment the only alternative. It is defined as the premeditated ending of another person's life.
Second-degree murder is an intentional act without premeditation. It is a Class 1 felony and results in 10 to 22 years in prison. Second-degree murder of an unborn child or a child under the age of 15 carries a sentence of life imprisonment. There were 416 reported murders in Arizona in 2017.
#3 Forcible Rape (Sexual Assault/Abuse)
This falls under the "sex crimes" classification and even "minor" offenses with no bodily contact could see you receive an 18-month prison sentence or longer. The state of Arizona no longer uses the word "rape," preferring "sexual assault" or "sexual abuse" instead. Sexual assault involves knowingly or intentionally engaging in oral sexual contact or sexual intercourse with any individual without their consent. It is typically a Class 2 felony with a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
Sexual abuse is deemed to be a lesser charge and is a Class 5 felony unless the victim is under 15 years of age, in which case it is a Class 3 felony. There were 3,581 reported cases of sexual assault/abuse in Arizona in 2017 (the most in a single year on record).
#2 Robbery
This is classified as a violent crime in the state of Arizona. Unlike a charge of theft, robbery involves an aspect of violence and is divided into three classifications: robbery, armed robbery, and aggravated robbery. Robbery is defined as taking someone's property against their will with the use of force or threats. If you are convicted of robbery, you could receive 18 months to three years in prison, as it is usually a Class 4 felony.
Aggravated robbery involves a robbery with accomplices and carries a prison sentence of two to seven years. Armed robbery involves a robbery with a deadly weapon or simulated deadly weapon and carries a prison sentence of four to 10 years. There were 7,440 reported cases of robbery in Arizona in 2017.
#1 Aggravated Assault
This is also classified as a felony in the state of Arizona, though it is up to the prosecution to prove there was probable cause that a misdemeanor assault occurred. Causing a serious injury, such as a broken bone, or entering someone's home before assaulting them are examples of aggravated assault.
It is a charge that ranges from a Class 6 felony to a Class 2 felony, which means you could spend just four months in jail for an aggravated assault or be sentenced to 12.5 years in prison, depending on the circumstances surrounding the crime. There were 24,207 cases of aggravated assault in Arizona in 2017 (the highest ever recorded), which makes it by far the most common crime in the state.
Violent crimes have been on the rise in Arizona and across the country for a number of years. If you've been the victim of a violent crime, please speak up. You can report what happened to you to your local police department or the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

text: Mark Wooley Managing Hog & Coyote Populations for Whitetail Properties When I started hunting feral hogs and coyotes, I had one goal in mind: to improve my personal hunting property. I hoped to create better habitat and increase fawn and turkey poult survival in my area.My grandfather was the one who got me started in the outdoors. He taught me how to hunt whitetails, and since then I've always been an avid deer hunter. But I didn't grow up hunting hogs or coyotes. Nor did anyone else in my family. Becoming effective at killing both species really was a learning process.As with many other deer hunters, my early attempts at coyote hunting basically involved emulating what I'd seen on TV hunts. And it wasn't until after I was married that I had my first run-in with feral hogs. It all started when someone illegally brought pigs into our area, hoping to introduce a new hunting opportunity. Our local farms quickly suffered heavy crop losses from those illegally released pigs.You often hear about how destructive feral hogs can be, but I honestly had no clue how severe their impact is on agricultural land until I saw it firsthand. The rooting, wallowing and overall destruction of freshly planted fields can be unsettling, especially considering it's hard-working farmers and other landowners who are dealt the blow. The latest survey I read showed that here in my home state of Georgia, feral hogs account for over $57 million in crop damage and another $20 million in non-crop damage annually. Predictions are that those figures will continue to rise. Let that sink in for minute. A feral hog is the equivalent of a small bulldozer with an incredible appetite, and there isn't much it won't eat! That's a recipe for disaster for those folks who make their living growing food and working the land, as well as for hunters trying to manage deer and other wildlife.What We DoA few years back, a friend invited me to try nighttime hog hunting with thermal optics. On that trip that I met Eric Campbell, who soon became my main hunting partner. Together we now operate Boss Hawg Control, an eradication service providing crop and livestock protection to local farmers throughout central and southern Georgia.What started out as little more than a hobby has turned into a mission. Eric and I now manage upwards of 40,000 acres of farmland stretching over a few hundred miles. The properties we hunt range in size from 10 to 5000 acres.It's common for our phones to start ringing in spring, during planting season, and then again in late summer as crops are reaching maturity. The farmers we work with usually call us with information about recently noticed hog activity or fresh sign. We then react swiftly to eradicate the guilty parties. On any given date throughout the year, you'll find us riding down a farm road under cover of darkness. To work a lot of ground quickly, we scan large crop fields with thermal optics to spot hogs or coyotes from afar. When we find looters feasting on a farmer's dime, we do our best to knock them out immediately.Deer and turkey hunting is pretty big business around here, and that equates to tough access for free. However, hogs and coyotes are far less desirable to other hunters or property owners. So while not everyone will offer permission to hunt whitetails or turkeys on their land, many will welcome the hunter who is pursuing problem species.I'm seldom turned away after knocking on a farmhouse door and asking for permission to hunt hogs and/or coyotes. Now, keep in mind that we don't get paid for our services directly by farmer or landowners. Instead, on certain properties we request permission to guide paying clients. With them we share the thermal-hunting experience, which is always a blast. Fortunately, feral hogs and coyotes aren't considered game animals here in Georgia; the state has no seasonal restrictions as to when you can hunt either species on private land. Nor is there a daily or annual bag limit for either species. Shoot all you can. Of course, here and in most other places there are much tighter regulations on state game lands, so always check your local laws before heading afield.How We Do ItOur hunting strategy is pretty simple: We run high-end thermal optics mounted on several weapons platforms. When it comes to piling up big numbers of hogs and 'yotes, it's hard to beat modern sporting rifles. We typically use AR-15 and AR-10 style rifles chambered in a wide variety of cartridges. (I won't start the debate here as to which is best.)I'm thankful it's legal to own and hunt with suppressors in Georgia. Shooting suppressed has had a positive impact on our success. Better communication occurs between shooters when you don't have to use bulky hearing protection. That makes our shooting sequences much more effective. In addition, suppressors prevent us from waking up landowners in the middle of the night. Loud rifle reports aren't exactly conducive to good sleep. We like to keep it quiet when we can.I've also discovered that pigs don't always run away from the sound of a suppressed rifle. Rather, they seem to run away from the sound of bullet impact, which can send them high-tailing it in my direction. That allows me to steer hogs where I want them to go and drastically increases the amount of time I have to shoot the last ones before they escape into cover.While it's true feral hogs are incredibly intelligent creatures, you sometimes wouldn't think so as you watch them mill around in a crop field. In fact, many times it's relatively easy to stalk within good shooting distance of a sounder that's feeding in a wide-open location.Unlike coyotes, which seem to tiptoe around every corner as if danger is always waiting for them, feral hogs have a much more confident demeanor. What you have to worry about most when hunting them is their sense of smell, especially if they've been heavily pressured. On every hog hunt, you need to pay close attention to the wind direction before starting a stalk or setting up on stand.Our favorite way to hunt hogs is to stalk them in open crop fields. The farmers in our area grow a large variety of crops, but the mainstays are peanuts, pecans, corn and wheat. Each of these crops can be a dynamite hog attractant, but activity can vary depending on time of year and crop harvest times. To find pigs consistently, we use vehicles to scan thousands of acres of farmland each night.Once we've located a group of pigs, the stalk begins. We stalk into the wind and try to close the distance to around 70-80 yards before shooting.On every stalk, our goal is to kill every hog in the sounder. So when engaging a large group, we pay close attention to our surroundings. We need to maximize the amount of safe shooting room we have to work with. Open fields are your friend when you're shooting at groups of 30-plus pigs, as it can take some time to knock down that many. If the pigs are close to cover when the shooting starts, there's a good chance some will escape.Bright moonlight, swirling winds and terrain are all factors to consider when determining how close to try to get to a sounder. However, we've found that large groups are much easier to approach. Multiple pigs feeding together generate a lot of noise, which helps conceal the sounds of human movement. By contrast, a lone boar feeding in a field can sometimes be very difficult to get within shooting range of.We kill plenty of coyotes as we're chasing pigs, but our strategies for targeting elusive song dogs are a bit different. In our experience, feral hog control is a never-ending process that only works when you exert continuous heavy hunting pressure on an area. Hunting coyotes to that same extent will do little more than educate them to human presence.There's more than one way to kill a coyote. You can shoot a mess of them in areas where crops are in season, as it's common for them to target small mammals that are dining on the abundant grain. If you've ever used thermal optics to look at a freshly picked corn or wheat field teeming with field mice, you know exactly what I mean.However, to better our chances of encountering coyotes, we stay mobile and cover a lot of ground in a hurry. We set up in strategic areas and call, using coyote vocalizations almost exclusively. These are very territorial animals, and I believe our aggressive approach to calling invokes that response from them. Simply put, we like to move in on their turf and present a challenge. Most often, coyotes will accept that challenge and investigate the call.We start each set with an invitation howl. If there's no response, we'll switch to a challenge howl and an immediate coyote distress. Usually, we won't use prey distress sounds unless we've already spotted a coyote. However, we've had good luck using fawn distress sounds during fawning season.We'll spend 15 minutes tops at each hunting location. If there hasn't been a sighting or a vocal response by then, we'll pack up and move to another spot to call. To decrease hunting pressure, we typically move several miles before setting up again.I've found that wind is one of the most important factors for determining where to set up for coyotes — and not just to hide human scent. It wasn't until I started hunting large agricultural fields and big pastures with thermal optics that I realized just how far an approaching coyote will swing downwind of a call. I've often watched them circle 300 yards or more before approaching closer.With this in mind, I won't hunt an area that doesn't allow me to see at least 300 yards in all directions. I know that isn't realistic for everyone, but in the farm country we hunt, it's not hard to find a suitable area. You'll need to adjust your strategy based on native terrain, but it's an advantage to be able to see as far as possible.Wind speed is a huge factor, as well. I don't like calling in high winds, as it severely limits the distance the call will carry. Coyotes also are less likely to move on a night with high winds.The moon's phase doesn't seem to be as big a factor as its position in the sky. We have the most success calling coyotes when the moon is either rising above the trees or just prior to its setting. But again, those aren't absolutes. Do we kill coyotes on windy nights when the moon is high? Of course. However, if given a choice, I'll pass on those conditions.When we call coyotes, we try not to frequent the same areas more than once every few weeks. These are extremely intelligent animals. Despite the fact they have no natural predators in much of North America, they're very cautious and leave little to chance.I've always believed that even if you kill every coyote you think you've called in, you'll always have plenty of them left to hunt. The survivors become educated quickly. Once they've smelled a rat, those dogs most likely won't be tricked by the same routine again. This is definitely a business in which you don't want to deal with repeat customers! Instead, you want to cater to a new audience every time you turn the "music" on.From a management standpoint, timing your coyote-hunting efforts is critically important. If increasing fawn recruitment and/or game bird production on your land is the goal, targeting your coyote population when those fawns and poults start to drop/hatch will yield the best results. A pair of coyotes killed in November will be replaced by new tenants within weeks, so be sure to target your efforts to the spring months if possible.By creating a gap in the coyote presence on your hunting property, you can help those fawns and poults make it through their first few weeks of life. That's when they're most vulnerable and really need whatever help they can get in avoiding predators.In ConclusionEradication should always be the goal when dealing with feral hogs and coyotes. That's right — you should try your best to wipe them out! You won't actually remove them all, because as we've learned, that's impossible. But once you adopt an eradication mindset, you'll hunt harder and ultimately will be much more successful in your control efforts.It's important to remember that effective control isn't a realistic goal without 100 percent landowner participation. In order to properly manage our natural resources and protect native wildlife, outdoorsmen and landowners must work together to develop management strategies. Hunters and trappers can seriously reduce hog and coyote populations, but we must always be respectful of one another's properties and rules.Also, I feel we need to raise awareness to stop the illegal transport and release of feral hogs. It's frustrating that some people willingly release hogs just to increase their hunting opportunities. Trust me, there are plenty of feral hogs as is; there's zero need for anyone to unleash more. Eric and I are harvesting upwards of 700 hogs each year, and we're not putting ourselves out of business.So I'd encourage everyone to remove coyotes and feral hogs by any means legal and feasible. Not only are these animals extremely challenging and fun to hunt, but by killing them you'll also benefit a number of native species.The hunting is affordable, access isn't usually a problem, and success rates are high. This year, please grab a rifle and do your part to help manage these destructive pests. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

text: From Manali to Spiti Valley   Sonia   |     07/08/2018 Share the article on         After having been in Manali for a day, we head towards the Spiti Valley. There are various trekking around Manali such as the famous Hampa Pass with the final destination at Chandra Tal Lake (5 days and 4 nights - cost about 8,000 rupees or 100 €).For lack of time, I decide to visit the famous Spiti Valley directly, which was recommended to me by many travellers met during the journey. Here too, there are various organized trekking options but they are expensive: 12,000 rupees for 5 days. So I decide to visit it independently without using any agency; at the end of the tour, I can say that it is not worth paying so much money. I take a local bus from Manali and head to Kaza. The departure is scheduled for 6 am but we leave half an hour later. After not even 1 hour the bus stops because of the traffic which is caused by the bad conditions of the road. We stand still for more than 1 hour but the view of the mountains that surround us is fantastic.After a few hours, the driver tells us that we have to change buses because there is a technical problem. Luckily there is a Dhaba nearby that is a local restaurant where we can shelter from the cold. Oh yes, because once we left Manali we started the climb and then we are about 4000 m .; as if this were not enough, it started raining but we stay for 2 hours in the restaurant while we eat rice with lentils (70 rupees - less than € 1), drink Chai (Indian tea for 10 rupees) and make friends with the owners and other foreign guys ( I'm still with my friend Luis). So let's take the road again and the road turns out to be a path full of curves and not paved so I leave you to imagine how pleasant the trip was! I must say that the driver was really good at overcoming all the waterfalls on the street due to the melting snow. Moreover, there are no barriers on the carriageway, thus making the route rather dangerous. Fortunately, we arrived at 1 am: only 19 hours trip!.Moreover, there is no need to worry about the food because the bus stops several times at local mini restaurants and the same applies to personal needs (obviously in the middle of nature). On the bus, we are a dozen foreigners and none of us has booked a hostel (prices on booking.com are quite high) so once we get to the bus stop we start walking and find a hostel called "Travelers Shed" where we pay 500 rupees per person sharing a double room. The next day we decide to explore Kaza and surroundings with 2 Israeli guys (Hadar and Guy) and a Dutch girl (Giulia). We rent a taxi for 600 rupees per person - € 7.50.We visit the following places:-Key Monastery: is the largest Buddhist centre in Spiti Valley. It is more than 1000 years old having been founded in the 11th century.-Chichim: here is the tallest bridge in Asia (at least so they say) and then also a village where we stop to play with some beautiful local children.-Kibber: is a village located at 4205 meters above sea level. It is located in a cold desert and surrounded by picturesque mountains.-Hikkim: located on the same road that leads to Komic, it is a village famous for being the highest post office in the world (4440 meters).-Komic: is a village located at 5150 meters above sea level. It houses about twenty houses and a monastery, with a total population of about 150 people including the monks.In the latter village, we also play volleyball with local boys. It is very difficult to run at a height of more than 5000 m. But still very funny! We start the tour around 12 pm and end around 6 pm.For this night we move to a homestay where we pay 260 rupees each by taking 2 rooms and sleeping in 3 in each room. The next day we decide to hitchhike (me, Luis, Hadar and Guy) and our plan was to go to Dhankhar but first we find a jeep that takes us 10 km from Kaza and then a truck that goes to Pin Valley. Being the latter, however, in our itinerary, we decide to get on the truck and continue the journey. We're almost at the village Mud (village in Pin Valley) when the truck driver realizes there's a problem and we have to stop. Fortunately, after half an hour we cross a car (in which there are some guys from Delhi travelling for 1 week) that takes us to their destination. We arrive in the village Mud, very small but welcoming. We stay at Namkha Homestay where we pay a room for 700 rupees -175 each, about 2 € (a double bed plus 2 mattresses on the ground). The initial price we had been offered was 500 rupees per room for 2 people but bargaining we get a very cheap price. We have lunch and dinner always in the same homestay because the prices are quite low: rice with legumes 80 rupees, Thali 120 rupees etc; in short, you can eat with 1 euro or so.In the afternoon we decide to climb a small mountain nearby to have a view of the village from above. It was worth it but it was hard both the climb and the descent because the rocks are not stable and there was a lot of wind, but we did it! The next day we take a local bus at 6:30am to head on the main road (price for girls 43 rupees, for boys 57 rupees). We joined two Indian boys, Inder and Adi, met at our accommodation. After an hour and a half we arrive at the intersection of the road that leads us to Tabo (another village). We go down and wait for the next bus. After about half an hour we manage to catch a bus (38 rupees for girls and 50 rupees for boys). Just before arriving in Tabo there is control of the police as well as at the entrance of other villages. The problem is that here foreigners need a permit that we should have requested from Kaza. Now it's too late so we decide to take a taxi and go to Dhankhar (10 km from where we are). We pay 600 rupees or 100 per head - € 1.20). We arrive in Dhankhar and stay at the monastery homestay; we pay 200 rupees per person in a 5-person dorm and we have a mattress added as we are in 6. Here too, food prices range from 100 to 200 rupees. In the afternoon we visit the lake which is just 2 km from the village. We spend 40 min. for the ascent and half an hour to go down. We are now in summer so part of the lake is drained but it was nice to stay a few hours there listening to music and chatting with the guys. The next day we take a taxi to Kaza paid 200 rupees each. After an hour and a half we reached the village of Kaza and here we split: Luis and the Indian boys decide to take a taxi and reach the lake Chandra Tal while the Israeli guys and I decide to try to hitchhike. After 1 and a half hours of waiting, two Indian boys pass by, offering us a ride and after about 5 hours we reach Butler (a mini village with various restaurants where we spend the night: 100 rupees each sharing a double bed and we eat rice with vegetables for 70 rupees). We are close to Lake Chandra Tal (16 km) but we do not visit it because the weather is not the best: it is cloudy and drizzling. This lake also called the "moon lake" and is the most famous in the Spiti Valley; It stretches for 2.5 km and is located 6 km from Kunzum pass.We spend the night in a room made with stones and a plastic roof, where we are forced to wear everything we have to warm up (in addition to the blankets that they have provided). The next day we find two local gentlemen who offer a ride to the intersection of several streets: one goes to Manali, one to Kaza (where we come from) and one to Leh (our next stop). Even this route was not easy: there were various works in progress to divert the waterfalls and we had to stop for 2 hours and a half. But finally after 5 hours (only to do 50 km) we arrive at your destination. We thank the guys and get out of the car; after 10 minutes we find a gentleman who takes us to Kylong (where we decide to spend the night being now 7 pm). In Kylong we find a room in a Homestay for 200 rupees per person sharing the double bed. Then we buy the ticket to go to Leh on the local bus; we pay 485 rupees - about 6 €. And so ends the adventurous journey of the beautiful Spiti valley. The colours of the mountains that contrast with the blue sky are unique. To all this, add the rare beauty of the villages set in the rocks. A special touch is given by the local people. They are mountain people with a face that looks more like the Chinese than the Indians: they have Tibetan influences. They are always super friendly, ready to help you and always smiling. Some of them live in these small villages for 6 months a year, others throughout the year and use provisions. During the winter they reach very cold temperatures and there is a lot of snow, therefore, the road that connects Manali-Kaza is closed. I spent 5 days in this beautiful valley and I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit some authentic places. Obviously, you must consider that the road is not the best and must have a great spirit of adaptation (there is no signal and almost no place has wifi). Also if you want to try something more adventurous I recommend hitchhiking: here in the area, it is quite safe and simple thanks to the number of cars or trucks that travel these streets. Another option is to rent a motorbike "Royal Enfield" (heavy motorbike and Indian) to travel the valley but be careful, in my opinion, you have to be really expert to drive on these roads in poor condition; I do not recommend to beginners.Moreover, my daily budget has dropped extremely during this journey: 6-7 € per day. Now I can say to have known a piece of real India! Information request NAME EMAIL MOBILE MESSAGE I agree with the terms and conditions

NEW DELHI — Two heavily armed militants wearing Indian Army uniforms opened fire on a police station near the Pakistani border early Friday, killing three Indian security personnel and a civilian, officials said.
The attack, for which Indian officials blamed Pakistan, was the first since a new coalition government took power in the disputed Kashmir region earlier this month. It could sway a debate over whether to overturn a contentious law that gives Indian security forces wide latitude to use force in the region without fear of prosecution.
Members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, which makes up part of Jammu and Kashmir State's new governing coalition, have opposed lifting the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, and the attack Friday could provide them with further justification for their stance.
"Our neighbor is not rectifying their ways," Jitendra Singh, a junior minister in Mr. Modi's office, said after the attack, referring to Pakistan.
The police station, which is about 10 miles from the heavily guarded Pakistani border, came under attack from two militants dressed in Indian battle fatigues who opened fire with Kalishnikov rifles, officials said. "They asked the guard to open the door and immediately shot him dead," Danish Rana, a police inspector general, told reporters. After a three-hour exchange of gunfire, the militants were shot dead, he said.
Ten people, one a civilian, were wounded by gunfire; all were in stable condition, said Dr. Raj Kumar Sangrama, a local medical officer.
The Indian-Pakistani border is dotted with small bodies of water, which Indian officials say are used by Pakistani militants to cross into India undetected.

Bed bugs have managed to stay out of the media's eye for quite some time, but stories like this one, which have been popping up all over the internet this summer, are alarming:
At Atlantic Bed Bug Inspection, we'd add an opinion to the stories you're hearing about and seeing on the news: the problem on the subways is probably worse than you think.
For every one time a bed bug is spotted on a subway, there's going to be even more times where bed bugs are there and never seen. It's inevitable, because there are too many people in New York City fighting a bed bug problem right now, and not much has to happen for a bed bug to hitchhike from one infested home to another. All it takes is for a bed bug to choose a hiding spot that causes it to get hitchhiked out of the home – on a jacket, for example – and that bed bug can wind up on a subway car very easily. What if that bed bug hiding in a person's jacket walks out of that jacket & onto the jacket of the passenger seated next to him? There's the problem – the bad luck lottery that we've talked about before. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
To be clear, a bed bug's goal is to insure itself a steady meal, which it can never get in an empty subway car, or empty bus, or empty taxi. A bed bug need human blood to survive, so when subway cars are full of people, and if a bed bug is there already, it should be expected to make its move & and seize its opportunity to get out of the subway the first chance it gets. In a bed bug's perfect world, it's going to hitchhike its way back to a place where it can insure itself a meal & then many more meals after that. That place is almost always going to be a person's home.
The bigger picture is that the subway in itself isn't the problem, nor is the MTA. The MTA could have the most advanced heat systems in the world – they could heat every single subway car every single night – and they'd be doing so to no avail, because as soon as a passenger with a bed bug problem at home accidentally transports a bed bug into the subway, the subway system's back to square one. The problem can reboot every day, and the 21 incidents the MTA is aware of is going to be more incidents that never get reported. Bed bugs will get on the train at one stop, and get off at another stop, without ever being noticed.
Yet, the subway system is a big place, and the amount of confirmed bed bug sightings on the subway has always been very low in any given month. If almost 6 million passengers are riding the subways daily, and if there were exactly 600 cases that could be traced to a subway ride each month, the odds are still very small you could get bed bugs from a subway ride: 1/100th of 1%.
But if those odds are something you're just not ok with, and, if you have to take the subway every day no matter what, there are practical measure we feel you can take:
- Don't sit in a subway seat: standing is always better, but your overall goal (even if you have to sit down) should be to never come into contact with other passengers.
- Don't maintain body contact with any other passenger: or better yet, don't let other passengers push themselves against you. I say this sincerely – you're better off waiting for another train than squeezing into a packed subway car, or having other passengers squeeze against you.
- View your surroundings: adult bed bugs are almost 1/4 of an inch big. If you have to sit down, take a quick peek before you do.
- Look at your clothes after your subway ride: look for the obvious, especially on your shoes or pants/slacks. A quick peek can't hurt.
The bigger picture is, you may take every precaution you can, and may still be the unlucky person that obtains a bed bug problem. That said, please keep in mind that early detection will always be the best way to solve a bed bug infestation, and solve it quickly. Be aware of any bites on your body that just don't seem right – especially bites that weren't present when you went to sleep the night before.

Scientists Studying Relationship Between Epilepsy and Brain Injuries
A recent study conducted by researchers at Newcastle University may provide revolutionary insight, within the next 15 years, into the onset of epilepsy which sometimes follows brain injury. Their aim is to determine what exactly it is that produces epilepsy in some individuals following the kind of brain damage resulting from head trauma, infections and stroke. Researchers hope to begin to understand why some individuals recover comparatively well from neurological injury, while others experience "epileptogenesis;" a complicated series of neurological events which eventually culminates in epileptic seizures.
Approximately 600,000 individuals suffer from epilepsy, comprising about 1 percent of the human population. Although the seizures of about 70 percent of these individuals are effectively controlled by medication, there remains a significant minority of the population at the mercy of the disease, which kills approximately 1,200 people a year.
To date, neurologists and scientists have no way of distinguishing who is at risk of developing seizures following traumatic brain injury, and even if they were able to make such a distinction, there is currently no way of preventing or treating those who are at risk, or those who begin to exhibit the symptoms of epilepsy following their injury. The scientists were fortunate enough to receive a £147,000 donation from Epilepsy Research UK; an organization looking to contribute to the UK's poorly study of the poorly funded research of the disease.
The important organization has contributed to over a third of all funding to the study of epilepsy. Led by Dr. Andrew Trevelyan, his team intends to study mice brain samples in order to determine whether or to what extent seizure-like activity in neurons changes which genes they express; a result which will itself affect the behavior of neurons. The scientists believe that atypical gene expression changes may initiate the onset of epilepsy. The study is part of a continuing line of research for Dr. Trevelyan, who has previously published papers exploring the role of chloride in inhibiting nerve cells, which is important in preventing unusually intense brain activation.

Onaaka Matrin was the Commander of the Second Tulkan War Fleet and a member of the Tulkan War Council who had their memories erased after being defeated by the Annarene.
In 1979, Sooal hijacked the ship the Council was on as it was enroute to a penal world, and brought it to Earth to restore their memories. It took three years to accomplish this, during which time he was a resident at Graystairs with the name Eddie. The Seventh Doctor enabled him to remember his past life, and he joined his fellow Tulk. After getting Onaaka Matrin's part of the access code to open the Council's weapons stasis chamber, Sooal killed him. (PROSE: Relative Dementias)

A large, framed drawing entitled "Caddo Women taking repatriation of Ghost Dance Pole into their own hands" by Dolores Purdy Corcoran. According to Corcoran, this is a "contemporary work done in historical fashion dealing with a contemporary issue," that of fighting the illegal trafficking and looting of American Indian artifacts. Rendered in black ink and colored pencil on two pages of a ruled district court ledger, the piece shows five faceless women with black hair and colorful robes fleeing from three soldiers dressed in blue uniforms. All of the figures are on horseback. Two of the women hold the ends of a green and black pole. Dolores Purdy Corcoran is a member of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and is a resident of Topeka, Kansas. She purchased the antique ledger, dating from 1890, in an antique store in Scranton, Kansas. Corcoran's work is informed by the ledger art created by the warriors of native tribes while imprisoned in St. Augustine, Florida. She likes to work with ledger paper and colored pencils because they are the same tools used by her ancestors.
