What causes stress for some, actually speeds others like extremophilic bacteria up. They love it hot, sour or salty, toxic substances like heavy metals also do them good and even give them energy. As molecular and systems biology techniques get better and better, industry is also becoming increasingly interested in these exotic organisms. What potential does knowing the biochemistry of extremophilic bacteria have for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and sanitary articles industries? Whatever the answer might turn out to be, there is certainly a growing trend towards using extremophilic microbes in academic and industrial research.
The preferred habitats of extremophilic microorganisms are hot springs and geysers. © www.wikipedia.org
The metabolism of bacteria and algae that live in hot volcanic springs, the Dead Sea, contaminated soils or the Arctic pack ice has adapted to extreme habitats and always manages to glean something positive from such environments. Life is able to thrive almost anywhere on Earth. The metabolism of extremophilic microorganisms generates a rich source of molecules that enable the bacteria to live in extreme, virtually inhabitable areas. Over the last few years, the biotech industry has also recognized the potential of this barely exploited "gold mine" and is in a real gold-rush mood.
Energy-saving and sustainable
There appears to be a fundamental change in the way industry is thinking: the industrial synthesis of numerous substance classes is now frequently done in bioreactors rather than chemical refineries. Innovative materials include basic and fine chemicals produced from plant raw materials, biopolymers used for the production of plastics, and environmentally friendly biofuels. "Biocatalyser" is the keyword of the future. Biocatalysers are enzymes produced with living organisms and which mediate defined synthesis steps. Besides being used in the production of fine chemicals, biocatalysers are also increasingly being used in the production of mass chemicals. Bioreactors of 500 m³ or more are already being used for the production of the flavour enhancer L-glutamate, the feed supplement L-lysine, antibiotics, vitamins, citric and lactic acid.

The substitution of petrochemical production steps with biotechnological methods could potentially reduce energy use and facilitate the shift to production methods that use renewable raw materials. The BMBF plans to set aside up to 100 million euros in funding for its "Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Initiative" for the next five to ten years. As molecular high-throughput methods and better cultivation methods have been developed over the last few years, academic and industry researchers have increasingly focused on the use of exotic bacteria and fungi.

Their tolerance to extreme chemical and physical environments makes the biomolecules of extremophilic microorganisms interesting for numerous industrial synthesis steps that need to be carried out at specific high or low temperatures or pressure, in the absence of oxygen or in other "exotic" chemical environments.
Extremophilic organisms have broken many records for tolerance to different conditions:
Cold: -15°C - microalgae (Eukarya)
Heat: 113°C - Pyrolobus fumarii (Archaea)
Acidic: pH 0.7 - Picrophilus torridus (Archaea)
Alkaline: pH >10 - Natronobacterium pharaonis (Archaea)
Irradiation: >3 Mrad - Deinococcus radiodurans (Bacteria)

Despite a more subdued Ferguson, tensions flare for a second night

Share All sharing options for: Despite a more subdued Ferguson, tensions flare for a second night
Ferguson, Mo. — Clashes between protesters and police raged for a second night running in this St. Louis suburb, as authorities struggled to contain the passions of a community furious that charges were not filed against a white cop who fatally shot an unarmed teen.
Just as happened Monday night, when two police cars were torched by rioters, a police car was rolled over and set alight outside Ferguson City Hall.
And protesters seemed within moments of vandalizing City Hall itself when rifle-toting police in militarized vehicles repelled the crowd with tear gas and loudspeaker orders to "Disperse or you will be arrested!"
Full coverage of unrest in Ferguson
While the angry scenes at 10 p.m. fell short of the chaos that saw a dozen businesses razed by arsonists and looters Monday night, they threatened to overshadow the calls for greater police accountability from slain teen Michael Brown's family.
Brown's family had earlier Tuesday vowed to fight on as their hometown arose after a night of looting, arson, and angry protest at the decision not to charge Officer Darren Wilson with Brown's death.
"You have broken our hearts — you have not broken our backs," the Rev. Al Sharpton said to cheers at a news conference organized by the family Tuesday morning.

The signs that protesters had heeded the Brown family's call for peaceful protest seemed strong as a mostly good-natured crowd of around 200 protesters had several low-level confrontations with police outside Ferguson Police Department early Tuesday evening.
But police lost control when one protester grabbed a bullhorn and led the crowd a quarter of a mile down the street to Ferguson City Hall, where rioters found and ransacked an untended police car.
Amid the heated scenes that followed, a grinning police sergeant asked the crowd to identify the troublemakers, then told them, "looks like there's some tear gas coming your way."
Then came a volley of the stinging gas, sending protesters scrambling into side streets.

Parts of the St. Louis suburb that were worst affected by the vandalism Monday remained locked down by police and extra National Guard troops, who were conspicuous by their absence in the burning neighborhoods the day before.
Residents in the town were struggling to comprehend both the destruction, a national TV interview with Wilson, and the revelations in a massive dump of Grand Jury documents released by St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch.

Brown's family made it clear they held McCulloch responsible for the failure to indict Wilson.
But as Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., stood next to Sharpton earlier Tuesday wearing a T-shirt with the words "No Justice, No Peace" on it, the veteran civil rights campaigner said, "This is not a Ferguson problem… It's a national problem."
He vowed that Brown would not be remembered for the sad scenes of destruction in Ferguson Monday night, but for inspiring a national movement of police accountability.
Other speakers called for every police officer in the U.S. to wear a video camera, for the appointment of a special prosecutor to reexamine Brown's Aug. 9 death, and for the federal government to do what McCulloch did not and indict Wilson.
Michael Brown Sr. did not speak during the event because he was "too emotional" and did not want to say something he regretted, family attorney Benjamin Crump said.

Form (all comps): WWDLL
Huddersfield v Reading (FA Cup): 0-1

Brighton v Reading: 2-2
Reading v Watford: 0-1
Birmingham v Reading: 6-1
Manager: Steve Clarke
Reading secured their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup when beating Huddersfield 1-0 at The John Smith's Stadium last Saturday. Nick Blackman came off the bench to score the only goal of the game on the 69th minute. In an underwhelming match, it took until just before half time for the first shot on goal to be registered, an Oliver Norwood free kick. Nick Blackman's goal was the culmination of some good work by Hal Robson-Kanu and Danny Williams that gave the Reading forward the chance to finish beyond the Huddersfield keeper. Reading have a good record in the FA Cup in recent years and have reached the quarter-finals in two of the past four seasons so will be hopeful of further progression after they were paired with fellow Championship side, Cardiff City in the fourth round. They now turn their attention back to the league campaign and their opponents on Saturday are Middlesbrough whom the Royals beat earlier in the season. Steve Clarke's side are now unbeaten in 3 matches in all competitions including back to back wins in his last two games and he will be hoping for another win this weekend to help his side move up the table.
Form (all comps): WDWLW
Barnsley v Middlesbrough (FA Cup): 0-2
Blackburn v Middlesbrough: 0-0
Middlesbrough v Nottingham Forest: 3-0
Ipswich v Middlesbrough: 2-0
Middlesbrough v Derby: 2-0
Manager: Aitor Karanka
Middlesbrough come into this one after a comfortable 3rd round victory in the FA Cup over Barnsley at Oakwell. Goals from Jelle Vossen and a late Daniel Ayala header sealed the win for Boro and a fourth round tie against Premier League Champions, Manchester City. If there was a slight negative it wasAdam Clayton's sending off for two bookable offences that means he will miss this weekends game. Saturday's win means Middlesbrough have only lost once in 12 matches, a 2-0 away defeat to second placed Ipswich just before Christmas. In fact Reading's win at The Riverside Stadium in August was one of only 5 defeats suffered by Aitor Karanka's side so far this season and they have only lost on one other occasion at home during the current campaign. Boro are certainly having one of their best seasons in the Championship for some time and they see themselves sitting in 4th position going into the New Year, well placed to seal a play-off place come May. Their results at home against the high flying teams in the Championship have been good and they held current leaders Bournemouth to a draw at The Riverside in November, were 2-0 winners against 3rd placed Derby last month and also held Watford to a 1-1 draw in October. The blotches on the copybook have been away defeats to Ipswich and Wolves, while they were also held to draws by Blackpool and Wigan, teams that are struggling in the Championship this season.

What Is the Time Signature of the Ominous Electronic Score of The Terminator?
A Slate investigation.
By Seth Stevenson
Feb 26, 201412:21 PM
The Terminator, a merciless cyborg, cares not for time signatures.

As The Terminator celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, the film continues to raise important questions. What are the risks to humanity of ascendant machine intelligence? How does a society correct the catastrophic missteps in its own past? And, most important, what the dickens is that weird time signature in the film's score? The other day, upon realizing that 2014 marks three decades since the film was released, I decided to stream the cautionary robot fable to see how it held up. I didn't make it past the opening titles.
As the score kicked in, I immediately recognized it was in a strange time signature. I'm a (very) amateur musician, and my ears are attuned to bizarre beats. This was as jarring as it gets. A disorienting rhythm—in particular the driving, industrial-sounding beat that gets louder and more prominent as the opening theme progresses. It wasn't in 5/4 or 7/8, both of which I can generally suss out with not much difficulty. I tried to count the beat in my head, and by tapping on my thigh: "DAH-doonk, dah-doonk, dah-doonk, gonk gonk." But for the life of me I couldn't make anything fit. My world had been ripped apart, much like Sarah Connor's when she discovered she was being hunted by an implacable killing machine from the future.
First, a quick primer on time signatures for the uninitiated. Most straight-ahead rock songs are written in 4/4 time. You can count "1-and-2-and-3-and-4" with the bass drum thumping on the 1 and 3 and the snare drum cracking on the 2 and 4. Listen here as Levon Helm rocks it steady on the Band's "The Weight. "
Similarly, when you hear a waltz you can usually count off "1-2-3, 1-2-3" without much trouble. Here's an example of Elliott Smith weaving his way through 3/4 time.
These are both easily digestible time signatures that are pleasing to our sense of order. Sometimes, however, a song will stray from the standard beats and get a bit weird. Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" is the classic example of a song in 5/4 time. Listen to the repeating lick on the piano ("do-DA, do-DA, doo-DAH") and steadily count out "1-2-3-4-5" with the 1 falling on the first "do," the 3 near the second "DA," and the 4-5 syncing with the "doo-DAH." Another mainstream piece in an outré time: Peter Gabriel's sprightly "Solsbury Hill," which is in 7/4. You can hear the bass drum thump seven times with each line of the verse.
OK, back to The Terminator. Come with me if you want to live … in a world where we definitively know the time signature of the film's score. I paused the movie and took to the Internet, confident the source of all information would give me closure, letting me exhale and enjoy some unfettered cyborg ultraviolence.
No such luck. I quickly found a thread on a message board for Lansing audio products in which my question had been posed, but the initial responses were all wrong or unhelpful. Someone offered a link to tablature in 3/4 time, which is incorrect. Someone else suggested it was in 6/8, when it clearly isn't. My frustration mounted along with the original poster's as he checked back in, still waiting for an answer. Soon I found another thread on a different message board where that same person had repeated his inquiry—and had again received unsatisfying results. I noticed that at the bottom of one of these threads a respondent had offered a plausible theory that the song was in 13/16. But the original poster still wondered: Where | [

is the sheet music, or some other official source, so we can settle this once and for all?
When I Googled the score's composer, Brad Fiedel, I found a tantalizing tidbit. "Terminator was very difficult," said Fiedel, "because I was using many different synths and sequencers and because I didn't have midi available on many of them I had to sync them by hand. This is why the main theme is in a very odd time signature. The looping of the Prophet-10 was just a little short of a complete measure."
At this point I needed to know the full story. So I found Fiedel and got him on the phone. He was happy to take me back to the early '80s and set the scene. He explained that before The Terminator, he'd worked on a score for a TV movie about Hitler's last days. The producers were concerned that lush string music might lend sympathy to Hitler, so Fiedel conjured up a crashing, metallic ruckus. It was this sound that formed the germ of the later Terminator score.
Fiedel was at heart an improviser. To create the Terminator theme, he first set up a rhythm loop on one of the primitive, early-'80s devices he was using. (In those days, Fiedel was firing up a Prophet-10 and an Oberheim.) He recorded samples of himself whacking a frying pan to create the clanking sounds. Then he played melodic riffs on a synthesizer over the looped beat. Amid the throes of creation, what he hadn't quite noticed—or hadn't bothered to notice—was that his finger had been a split-second off when it pressed the button to establish that rhythm loop. Being an old machine, there was no autocorrection. Which meant the loop was in a profoundly herky-jerky time signature. Fiedel just went with it. The beat seemed to be falling forward, and he liked its propulsiveness. He recorded the score that way and (not being classically trained) never wrote down any notation. The music he'd improvised went straight into the film. With its collaboration between fallible humanity and rigid machinedom, the score was especially well-suited to the material at hand.
Much like the creators of Skynet, Fiedel was only later forced to consider what he had wrought. He got a call from the legendary film and TV composer Henry Mancini, who was planning to record an album of movie scores with a full orchestra. Fiedel was giddy to learn that Mancini wanted to include the Terminator theme. But then Mancini asked for the "lead sheet"—the notes the bandleader would use so the orchestra musicians could walk in off the street and nail the recording in one take.
Fiedel enlisted a friend named George Kahn, a jazz musician who had a music degree and more formal training, to help set the score to paper. "He called me up and said, 'Brad, what time signature is this in?' I said, 'I dunno, 6/8?' He said, 'No, it's quirkier than that.' " (Incidentally, a subsequent search turned up the fact that Fiedel related a version of this anecdote to Film Score Monthly in 2013. I don't know why it didn't show up on my computer in my initial search. I'm blaming our capricious machine overlords.)
"Brad works mind to fingers to keyboard," Kahn says now, "and he bypasses paper. So I had to sit down and figure it out." You might say it was as though Kahn had been sent back in time to the early '80s—dropped into a world that wasn't his own and he didn't understand—on a mission to safeguard the conception of a precious thing that he hoped would live on into the future.
And the verdict? "It's in 13/16. Three plus three plus three plus two plus two."
Sure enough, primed to listen for this grouping, I was at last able to count out the beat. DAH-two-three-DOONK-two-three-CLANK-two-three-GONK-two-GONK-two. Never has drumming on my thigh felt so cathartic.

REAL throwback Thursday: Comics Fandom 1969
I stole this link from Tom Spurgeon, and I'm just as fascinated by it as he is: it's a photo of the 1969 Comic Art Convention Luncheon Photo, July 5, 1969 at the Statler Hilton Hotel as annotated and archived by old time fanzine artist John Fantucchio. (Hit the link for a big version — wow negatives are cool!) Here in one place you see Comics 1969 — from legendary Marvel production manager Big John Verpoorten in the back to (gasp) teen Gary Groth in the front row. Fantucchio has been trying to identify everyone in the photo and he's made a pretty good stab at it.
As always when I look at these old timey wimey photos, the first thing I always notice is that EVERYONE WAS SO SKINNY. Big John is tall for sure, but he's just a normal sized guy now. The young Bill G. Wilson in the front would probably have been considered a bit chubby at the time and he's petite for these days. The reason I bring this up (besides more proof of how over fed we are now) is that the stereotype of the "fat fan" didn't come along until later. It's true that when I started going to conventions in the 80s there were quite a few people around who would be considered large and in charge—and there were some prominent comics folks who were considerably overweight—but at the protoplasmic stage this wasn't true.
Also, Gary Groth is still skinny, 45 years later. Someone needs to investigate that.

People were skinny back in 1969 because they ate fast food once every six months instead of once every six hours.

I loaned my copy of this photograph to Bill Schelly for his book on the history of Comic Fandom. The guest of honor for the dinner was Hal Foster and Gil Kane introduced him. I somehow got on the elevator with Foster and Kane on the way up to the dining room and was so tongue tied, all I could do is ask Foster to sign one of the Valiant books I bought.
At the table in the front left, starting with the dark jacket, it's Al Williamson, Jeff Jones, Me (Gary Brown), Unknown, Archie Godwin, Angelo Torres, Gray Morrow, Unknown, Sal Trapini and Jerry Weist.
At the table to the left with a dark jacket facing away from the camera is Dick Giordano, who, along with many of us, were laughing at the photographer who had a big box-type camera and was standing on a wobbly chair to take the picture.
They dressed nicer, as well.

I wonder if there are any pictures from the first* Star Trek convention, held there in 1972, when the fire marshall was called in?
Hey… elephant in the room question:
Why don't conventions schedule "Great Day" photos like this for all of the attending professionals? Schedule it right before the show opens for the day, perhaps Saturday morning.

"You have always been the caretaker, Gary Groth."

The reason I was in the front row is because our table —all of us in the front row— was off to the right (i.e., the worst table in the room) and the camera couldn't catch us, so they moved our chairs across the front. I still have an original of the photo! Many of the people have been identified. I must say, Al Williamson looks like a movie star.

Hi Heidi.
Let me do a bit of correction for you. This is not actually John G. Fantucchio's site, it's mine! I used to have a Fantucchio tribute site up but I shut it down for reasons I won't get into here. But this page survives so I've been trying to identify everyone in the photo for the past 4 years. Gary Groth emailed me a hi-res scan of his original photo (thanks so much Gary), and I contacted a slew of people who were kind enough to send me there opinions on who was who. Generally, I will provide an ID notation if I can get multiple people to positively identify a person – or if the actual person identifies him/herself.
There were a few interesting controversies. There was a long running debate on who the mystery man at #25 was. Irene Vartenoff (#45) and Michelle Nolan (#28) swore it was Roy G Krenkel. But John Benson (who was involved in setting up the luncheon) said it definitely was not Krenkel and contacted Bill Spicer and Mike Kaluta, who reaffirmed his belief. Benson said that while Roy was at the convention, he was too "thrifty" to pay $6 for the luncheon (he wanted a freebie). In addition, he explained the hair was all wrong (Roy had longer hair at the time) and that Krenkel would never had sat at that table in the back with people he didn't know – he would have sat with Al Williamson, Jeff Jones and Angelo Torres. Finally, the controversy was resolved when Gary Groth (#67) sent me an email stating "That gentleman in the back that looks like Roy Krenkel is actually my dad, Howard G Groth." Apparently, Gary (13 or 14 years old at the time) was too embarrassed to sit with his dad and made him sit by himself at a back table …
Another interesting issue involved the table where Len Wein (#43), the Vartenoff Sisters (#44 & 45) and Alan Weiss (#49) — Several people claimed that the woman sitting to Weiss's right was Flo Steinberg and I had referenced Flo as #47 for almost a year. But then Alan Weiss contacted me and made the correction: it was his ex-girlfriend Pami Texler. Weiss, Trexler and Mary Skrenes (#50) had all driven in from Las Vegas together, and it was a trip he'd never forget!
I get many questions on certain people. Like who is the the long haired bearded dude sitting between Gray Morrow (#54) and Sal Trapini (#53)? He looks maddeningly familiar. And who are the distinguished looking couple standing in back of John Benson (#23) and Bill Spicer (#24)?
I'm still looking to complete the ID's so please send me an email (aaron AT fantucchio DOT com) if someone looks familiar. I'm especially interested if you actually attended the luncheon.
Bestest,
Aaron Caplan

Holy Family Hospital Named a Top Performing Hospital in the Nation for Women's Health

Holy Family Hospital To Offer Free Seminar On Family History And Hereditary Colorectal Cancer With Brenda Jimenez Cantisano, MD
Holy Family Hospital in Methuen is pleased to announce it has earned the 2015 Women's Health Excellence Award™ from Healthgrades™, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals.
This recognition distinguishes Holy Family Hospital as one of the top performing hospitals in the nation for women's health.
"Holy Family Hospital has always regarded women's health as a priority. We pride ourselves in offering the best possible care, from routine annual gynecology and preventive screenings, to diagnostic services and surgery, to our outstanding obstetrics and maternity services," said Holy Family Hospital President Joseph Roach. "Our recent investment in three-dimensional mammography, which provides more accurate detection of breast cancer at its earliest stages when it is the most treatable, further demonstrates our dedication."
Healthgrades™ compared Women's Health Excellence Award recipients as a group, to the group of hospitals that were eligible for the award but did not receive it, and found from 2011-2013:
• Women undergoing procedures where complications are the measured outcome, have on average a 9.6 percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in a hospital that did not receive the award.
• Women being treated for conditions where mortality is the measured outcome, have on average a 31.6 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in a hospital that did not receive the award.
"The identification and treatment of medical conditions for women is very different than diagnosing and treating men, therefore it is vitally important that women understand their risks and select a hospital accordingly," said Evan Marks, chief strategy officer at Healthgrades™. "Healthgrades™ 2015 Women's Health Excellence Award recipients have demonstrated exceptional performance and a dedicated approach to delivering superior quality care for women."
Holy Family Hospital's recent investment in three-dimensional mammography demonstrates its continued dedication to the delivery of superior health care for women.
This technology, known as breast tomosynthesis or 3-D tomo, is considered superior to traditional two-dimensional mammography, particularly for younger women with more glandular breast tissue and less fat, and women with dense breast tissue, cysts or calcifications.
Traditional mammography equipment is stationary and the x-ray source takes a picture through the breast. During 3-D breast tomosynthesis, the x-ray arm moves in an arc across the body, essentially taking a 3-D movie of the breast, which can be looked at frame by frame to view how tissue looks all the way through the breast.
A 3-D image reveals whether calcification is on the skin or within the breast, which is important because skin calcifications are benign. A 3-D image can also show whether a mass has irregular borders, or is a round cyst that would not require a biopsy.
Images from breast tomosynthesis provide the radiologists who read them an added degree of confidence, and reduce anxiety for patients who, with traditional two-dimensional mammography, may have been called back for additional images.
"When the hospital invested in 3-D tomosynthesis it made an investment in quality and improved patient care," said Arthur Zerbey, MD, chief of radiology. "Breast tomosynthesis in conjunction with other advanced technologies such as breast MRI and MRI guided biopsy, offers a comprehensive breast health program, from routine screenings to testing and treatment."
Holy Family Hospital (www.holyfamily-hospital.org) is a 383-bed acute-care hospital with two campuses, Holy Family Hospital in Methuen and Holy Family Hospital at Merrimack Valley in Haverhill. Both locations provide comprehensive inpatient, outpatient and 24/7 emergency services to the greater Merrimack Valley, southern New Hampshire and the New Hampshire seacoast. Holy Family Hospital's Methuen and Haverhill campuses are proud recipients of the Gold Seal of Approval from | [

Joseph Parker defeats Dereck Chisora – Boxing Results
December 19, 2021 December 18, 2021 l 1 Comment l by Tim Compton
Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs) partially vindicated himself on Saturday night with his decisive 12 round unanimous decision win over Dereck 'War' Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) in their rematch.
At times, Chisora looked a decade older than his chronological age of 37, and it's a miracle that he wasn't knocked out by Parker tonight.
The fact that Chisora survived the 12 round distance is more of an indication of how far Parker has slipped in the last three years.
Although Parker showed excellent power tonight, his stamina limited him to fight on brief spurts and seemed oddly indecisive each time he had Chisora hurt.
Parker repeatedly let Chisora off the hook
The former WBO heavyweight champion Parker showed excellent power on his uppercuts, which he used to drop the 37-year-old former world title challenger Chisora three times in the contest. However, Parker failed to take advantage of having Chisora and appeared hesitant to go for the coup de grace for fear of getting clipped.

Fighting in front of a loud crowd at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, Parker clipped Chisora with big uppercuts to drop him in rounds 4, 7, and 8.
Each time it appeared that Chisora wouldn't make it out of the round, he used his experience to trick the less experienced Parker by playing possum by going to the corner.
Rather than jumping on the exhausted and hurt Chisora when he had him hurt in those rounds, Parker stood studying him for what seemed like an eternity, and by the time he did go on the attack to try and finish him, it was too late.
A normal highly rated heavyweight contender would have likely destroyed Chisora the first time he was hurt, but not Parker. He lacked the decisiveness to finish his wounded prey, and that ultimately led to the fight going the distance.
Parker's corner instructions were poor
The scores were: 115-110, 115-111, 114-112. It's unclear what the judge was thinking that scored the fight 114-112 for Parker because there was no way that the fight was that close. I mean, the only way to explain a score like that is if the judge was confused.
At best, Chisora deserved to win three rounds, but two makes more sense. He was outpunched in every round of the fight, even the ones where Parker appeared to be coasting from the 10th round on.
Parker's trainer Andy Lee was repeatedly telling him not to mix it up with Chisora, and his instructions made little sense because he was often telling him this after he'd had a big round.
Read: Tyson Fury angry with Joshua stalling with step aside
Lee should have been telling Parker to jump on the hurt Chisora after he'd knocked him down, but instead, he was telling him to box. The instructions were weird and self-defeating, making what could have been an easy fight more difficult.
Chisora has very little left
As far as Chisora goes, he looks pretty well shot at this point in his 14-year professional career, but he's still popular enough to continue to get nice payday opportunities in the UK on Matchroom Boxing career.
With Chisora, he's more of an entertainer than a relevant contender looking to get a world title shot. Still, this fight showed clearly that Eddie Hearn is going to need to be selective with the type of opponents that he puts Chisora in with because he doesn't belong with true top-tier heavyweights.
Parker was okay because he's on the slide and is no longer of the relevant guys. Chisora would be a good opponent for Alen Babic, Dempsey McKean, and Zhilei Zhang. He can hang with those types of heavyweights, but not the top-level fighters.

Накаџима Б5Н (Кејт по америчком коду) је био јапански тросједи бомбардер (Б5Н) и торпедни бомбардер (Б5Н2) из периода пред Други свјетски рат, којег је прозводила фабрика Накаџима.
Развој
Дизајниран као одговор на спецификације из 1935, у Другом свјетском рату је већ био застарио, иако напредан дизајн за своје вријеме настанка. Имао је модерну структуру, елису промјењивог корака, Фаулерове флапсове, хидраулички увлачећи стајни трап, НАЦА профил покривача мотора и интегралне крилне резервоаре горива. Спецификација је захтијевала највећу брзину 330 -{km/h}-, а прототип је достигао 367.
У борби
Улази у употребу током кинеско-јапанског рата 1937—1945. Крајем 1941, 103 авиона учествују у нападима на америчке бродове у Перл Харбору, којим је почео Други свјетски рат за САД. 40 од тих су нови торпедни бомбардери верзије Б5Н2. Касније Б5Н авиони су имали главну улогу у потапању америчких носача авиона Јорктаун, Лексингтон, Восп и Хорнет. Наставили су да се користе до 1944. заједно са својим насљедником, Б6Н.
Производња
Укупно је произведено 1149 авиона Б5Н.

MysteryPeople & Seventh Street Books Presents
JAMES W. ZISKIN, TERRY SHAMES, MARK PRYOR
speaking & signing
In less than three years, Seventh Street Books has made a name for itself with popular mysteries and thrillers. Their books have earned several awards and introduced readers to new and exciting talent. Three of those authors, James W. Ziskin, Terry Shames, and Austin's own Mark Pryor, will be joining us to talk about their latest work and being on the street where fiction is a crime.
ABOUT JAMES W. ZISKIN
A linguist by training, James Ziskin studied Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, where he taught elementary/intermediate French and Italian. He also spent a year teaching English at the University of Paris X, Nanterre. After completing his graduate degree, he worked in New York as a photo-news producer and writer, and then as Director of NYU's Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò. He has since spent fifteen years in the Hollywood post production industry, running large international operations in the subtitling/localization and visual effects fields. He speaks Italian and French fluently. Habla español. Aur wo thoda Hindi bhi bolta hai.
ABOUT STONE COLD DEAD
December 21, 1960, the shortest day of the year: Fifteen-year-old Darleen Hicks slips away from her school bus as it idles in the junior-high parking lot, waiting to depart. Moments later the bus rumbles away without her, and she is never seen again.
New Year's Eve, 1960: The small upstate town of New Holland, New York, is in the grips of a severe cold snap, when Ellie Stone receives a late-night caller Irene Metzger, the grieving mother of Darleen Hicks. She tells Ellie that the local police won t help her, that they believe Darleen has run off with some older boy and will return when she is ready. Irene has read Ellie's stories in the paper on an earlier murder case and believes Ellie is her last hope.
Ellie Stone is on a chilling journey to a place of uncertainty, loss, teenage passion, and vulnerability where Ellie's questions are unwanted and her life is in danger.
ABOUT TERRY SHAMES
Terry Shames (Berkeley, CA) is a freelance writer and coeditor of Fire in the Hills, a book of stories, poems, and photographs about the 1991 Oakland Hills Fire. She grew up in Texas and continues to be fascinated by the convoluted loyalties and betrayals of the small town where her grandfather was the mayor. Terry is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime.
ABOUT A DEADLY AFFAIR AT BOBTAIL RIDGE
In the course of their developing friendship, Samuel Craddock has learned to accept that his neighbor Jenny Sandstone's personal life is strictly secret. But when her dying mother tells Craddock that Jenny is in danger, he is confronted with a dilemma. He wants to respect Jenny's privacy, but he is haunted by the urgency in the dying woman's voice.
When Jenny is the victim of a suspicious car accident, Craddock has no choice but to get involved. He demands that she tell him what he needs to know to protect her and to solve the mysteries surrounding the strange events that began taking place as soon as Jenny's mother passed away.
Forced to confront the past, Jenny plunges into a downward spiral of rage and despair. She is drinking heavily and seems bent on self-destruction. Craddock must tread lightly as he tries to find out who is behind the threats to her. But only by getting to the bottom of the secrets buried in Jenny's past can he hope to save her both from herself and from whoever is out to harm her.

Posted By: Steve Bryant 11/17/2002
This was supposed to be the weekend Ultimo Dragon made his United States return. It just didn't happen the way anyone planned.
EPIC announced a little over a month ago that Ultimo Dragon would be making his return to the United States on November 17th against Super Dragon, in what would be EPIC's biggest show to date. EPIC booked Ultimo Dragon through WPW's Martin Marin, paying his travel from Mexico and his booking fee, which was rumored to be $1,500, with the idea they'd get Ultimo's first US match in over four years.
At UPW's November 6th show, WPW was passing out flyers for a special Saturday show on November 16th, with Ultimo Dragon on the flyer. The flyer didn't state whether Ultimo would be wrestling or not. EPIC promoter Gary Yap asked Martin Marin about the flyer and was told, "Ultimo will just be making an appearance and won't be wrestling". Martin and Gary also talked about running a couple angles at the WPW show including announcing the special stipulation that would be added into the Ultimo Dragon vs. Super Dragon match (American Dragon was added to make it a three way). Later that night on the SoCal UNCENSORED message board, people from WPW were saying Ultimo would be wrestling.
When asked about the WPW show earlier this week, and the prospect of Ultimo wrestling, Gary Yap responded that he would be "pissed if Ultimo wrestles on that show". Apparently, the plans for the joint angle fell apart, as on Friday, November 15th, EPIC announced the special stipulations for the Ultimo Dragon match at a EPIC party at the Valley Ball strip bar in the San Fernando Valley.
WPW ran on November 16th. Not only was there no EPIC involvement, but Ultimo Dragon wrestled in the main event, winning the match for his team by beating NOSAWA with a Dragon Sleeper in front of about 50 people. People inside EPIC were pretty upset, as they felt they were screwed over by Martin Marin. As it turns out however, Ultimo Dragon wrestling for WPW was a blessing in disguise.
Sixteen hours later Ultimo Dragon would be standing in front of a locked building with a suitcase full of his wrestling gear and no idea what was going on.
Around 2:15 on November 17th, as I was driving up to the EPIC show from San Diego. I received a phone call that EPIC was having venue problems and the show is being moved to the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace, or could possibly be cancelled. The EPIC wrestlers who were already at the show had a meeting about the venue problems and show at about 2:20. The fans who were already at the show were then told that the venue might be changed to the Marketplace. A lot of fans and wrestlers, including Messiah, Jerry Lynn, Sabu, American Dragon, and Super Dragon headed over to the Marketplace.
Apparently the Los Angeles Entertainment Center wasn't paid for and a last ditch effort to secure it failed. Several people have indicated that Gary Yap knew that there were going to be possible venue problems the night before.
The attempt at getting the Marketplace also failed because of the lack of advance notice. They were not able to secure permission from the Marketplace management. At about 5:30 PM, I was called and notified the show was completely cancelled.
A lot of the wrestlers have placed the blame solely | [

on Gary Yap for the cancellation of the show, and more than a few are upset about payments, such as Sabu who feels that he is owed money for two shows now, as his check for the last show bounced. Several other wrestlers paid for their own flights to the show. Others were upset they weren't notified of the cancellation before they drove long distances to the show, such as Adam Pearce who lives in San Diego, and Jardi Frantz and Bobby Quance who live in the San Francisco/Bay Area.
A lot of Japanese press also showed up to cover Ultimo Dragon's big match, and they weren't too thrilled with the cancellation either.
People in EPIC are stating that the cancellation is due to investors pulling out, but they have also used that as excuses for financial problems for two of their previous shows and the excuse has worn thin on every wrestler I've spoken with.
In what was to be EPIC's biggest moment, will go down as their worst, as it will be hard to recover the fans who feel like they were screwed over and the faith of the wrestlers who had given EPIC so much.
CZW's Ruckus and Adam Flash were both scheduled to appear at EPIC's show as surprises and were in town for the show.
B-Boy will be wrestling at CZW's Cage of Death 4 in Philadelphia, PA on December 14th.
WCWA plans on opening a wrestling school in the San Diego area in 2003.
With EPIC's show being cancelled Messiah will be making his SoCal return to wrestling on November 22nd's PCW show against Chris Daniels in what is a SoCal dream match.
Dynamite D will return to wrestling on November 30th at Rev Pro's anniversary show at Frank and Sons in the City of Industry.

The vortices generated at the wing tips of an airborne fixed wing aircraft, or from the rotors of a helicopter in forward flight, create transient rotational turbulence, which trails behind the aircraft in a descending and down wind direction, and may cause sudden un-commanded roll to affect a following aircraft, perhaps at a sufficient rate of roll to disconnect the autopilot if engaged. Light aircraft may also experience marked pitching moments when traversing a vortex from the side, such as when turning finals from base leg behind a larger aircraft.
Opposing the induced roll moment using normal roll control (aileron and roll spoiler) is usually effective except when the wingspan and ailerons of the affected aircraft do not extend beyond the rotational flow of the two vortices (this can occur when the following aircraft is much smaller than the leading aircraft), or where one wing is caught in a sufficiently strong vortex there may not be enough roll authority from the remaining wing.
The minimum traffic separation distances for aircraft under ATC Control have consistently been shown to be sufficient to ensure that any loss of control caused by an encounter with wake turbulence will always be transient and easily recoverable except for some cases of spacing on approach to land or on initial climb following take off. To cover these circumstances, and various more complex permutations of runway use, minimum separation distances and times have been promulgated by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
wind direction down the runway.
Conversely, low level turbulence, associated with stronger wind conditions, accelerates vortex decay and cross winds deflect vortices away from the runway centreline.
Vortices begin at (Rotation Speed (Vr)), rather than the start of roll, and separation should therefore be based on the time between rotation of successive aircraft. However, for practical reasons, ATC base their timing for separation on time of roll. A heavier aircraft may have a longer/slower take-off run than the following aircraft, reducing actual separation time.
When considered necessary, be prepared to remind departure ATC of the minimum time you require behind a preceding heavier aircraft and do not accept instructions to begin your take off roll before the prescribed time separation is achievable at the anticipated point of rotation.
there is sufficient crosswind on the departure runway as the vortices will move down wind at the speed of the cross-wind component.
it complies with the recommended spacing between departures.
Including in the pre-flight advice to passengers an invitation to keep their seat belts done up, even when the seat belt sign is off unless moving around the cabin, minimises the risk of passenger injury if there is an unexpected encounter with turbulence en route.
In cruise, maintain situational awareness of other aircraft in the vicinity which appear to be on similar / crossing tracks ahead and at or above your own level, especially if you will climb or descend behind larger aircraft type in level flight, or if you are in level flight with a larger aircraft climbing or descending ahead. Pilots should beware flying through descending contrails from a preceding aircraft as these indicate the presence of vortices.
Consider a track offset of 1nm upwind if following a higher aircraft at similar ground speed when allowed by airspace regulations or via specific ATC approval. Also, a change of FL to cross "HEAVY" or "SUPER" traffic flight path from above can be used when feasible and authorised by ATC.
Check tropopause height during pre-flight briefing as, when flying below the tropopause, wake vortex decay is much slower and the risk of severe encounters is greater.
Be prepared to select seat belt signs to 'on' and instruct working cabin crew to secure themselves for a precautionary interval if the above conditions are identified in due time.
Be aware that experience has demonstrated that if the pilot reacts at the first roll motion, when in the core of the vortex, the roll motion could be potentially amplified by this initial pilot action.
Be aware that some in-flight incidents have demonstrated that pilot inputs may exacerbate the unusual attitude condition with rapid roll control reversals carried out in an "out of phase" manner.
Be aware that if the autopilot is engaged, intentional disconnection can complicate the scenario, and the autopilot will, in most cases, facilitate the recovery.
Try to avoid large rudder deflections that can create important lateral accelerations, which could then generate very large forces on the vertical stabiliser that may exceed the structural resistance. Although some recent aircraft types are protected by fly-by-wire systems, typically | [

Pub chain boss reveals shop conversion plans after moving in on Scotland
Farmfoods in Dumfries is third property bought by Amber Taverns with more to follow
Kenny Kemp
A former Farmfoods outlet in Dumfries - once the site of the town's poshest restaurants - will become the third Amber Taverns pub in Scotland.
The building has been bought for an undisclosed amount and £600,000 investment will be spent on its refurbishment.
The Blackpool-based company, set up in 2005, has two Scottish properties under wraps at the moment, which will bring the number to five in Scotland.
Restaurants enjoy summer revival after year of casual dining carnage
"We will probably pause for breath and make sure they are all working fine before looking to expand further in Scotland,'' Sam Frankland, property director at Amber Taverns, told Scottish Business Insider.
He said the rejuvenation of towns is about creating better places to enjoy a drink and something to eat.
"We can be a piece of the jigsaw to revive high streets across the UK. We are a vital part of this and I'm glad to say the vast majority of local authorities now realise this when it comes to changing the use. In England, Scotland and Wales you are not going to replace all that empty retail with new retail, you've got to allow other uses.
"Most authorities realise that this is what is needed to revive footfall into town centres. People don't just click but have an actual reason to come into town, and whether that's to have a beer, a gin or a Scotch.''
The former Dumfries retail unit, sold by Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, will be converted in time for the Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations.
Craft beers created exclusively for St Andrews golf links
Amber Taverns has 147 public houses across England's north west, north east and Midlands, and Wales. But it recently opened its first Scottish pub in Paisley and also plans to open one in a converted Post Office in Coatbridge.
The firm, part of Kildale Topco Ltd, had sales of £81.3 million in the year to February 2019, with operating profits of £12.2 million. Last year the company invested £13 million in its pub estate. The group has been funded by HSBC.
Frankland added: "We look forward to bringing an Amber pub to Dumfries. We will invest around £600,000 in this building to create an attractive pub which we believe will appeal to a wide range of customers. We hope Dumfries will mirror the success of our recent opening in Paisley, which was our first trading site in Scotland.
"We've been pleasantly surprised with the welcome we've received in Paisley. You're never sure until you open the door but Paisley has been good, and we think Coatbridge will be great too.
CAMRA adds 18 Scottish breweries and 77 pubs to its Good Beer Guide
"We have started our development in Coatbridge on the former Post Office which is also due to open before Christmas, and we have other sites in legals in Scotland and will make further announcements soon."
"Our pubs are individually named - we're not trying to roll out a brand. We like to bring in the heritage and historical memorabilia of the local town and building. I found out that the Dumfries building was originally the high-class Imperial Restaurant back in the day. This is interesting… we might not call it the Imperial but it will be a local community pub.
"We are trying to open 10 to 15 pubs a year. If we can find some more we will open them – and that will be in Scotland.''
Fraser Carson, surveyor in Shepherd Chartered Surveyors' Dumfries office, said: "This purchase follows a number of recent restaurant and licensed trade openings in Dumfries town centre, where longstanding retail and office premises have been selected for change of use.
"We are delighted that Amber Taverns has purchased this property with the aim of refurbishing and converting it into the latest addition to its expanding portfolio of high standard community pubs."

Michigan man unveils 400mph+ 'Streamliner' vehicle he's built over 26 years
An 86-year-old man is bidding to join the land speed elite after unveiling a streamliner he has been building since 1996 – as he prepares to race it on Utah's Salt Flats and fulfil his wife's dying wish.
Jim Byerly has been obsessed with racing since he was a teenager and has worked on several cars through the years but told Fox 17 that his streamliner will top the rest.
When complete, Byerly hopes to take the vehicle out to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where some of the fastest cars have reached speeds close to 500mph.
According to Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) the outright world land speed record stands at 763.035mph but many factors are at play when beating land speed records.
86-year-old Jim Byerly is attempting to join the land speed elite after unveiling his streamliner that he's been building since 1996
'There are hundreds of other records in myriad classes based on factors such as engine type and capacity, weight or body shape,' the FIA website explains.
'Record attempts may be made on straightline playa, salt or tarmac courses, where they are averaged over two runs in opposing directions, or over distance or time endurance runs on closed racetracks.'
For Byerly the Utah Salt Flats will be where he tests the limits of his vehicle that has become his life's work and has grown his love and passion for the industry since a young age.
'It actually started clear back when I graduated from high school because I walked over to the drugstore,' Byerly said.
'That's when the Hot Rod magazines were small. I thought, 'Boy, that's pretty interesting.' It just gradually crept up from there.'
After working on this vehicle for 26 years, his Streamliner is close to crossing the finish line.
When complete, Byerly hopes to take the vehicle out to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where some of the fastest cars have reached speeds close to 500mph
The hope is to have it ready to race in August, taking the almost 27-feet-long, 4,000-lb. vehicle halfway to the speed of sound

The hope is to have it ready to race in August, taking the almost 27-feet-long, 4,000-lb. vehicle halfway to the speed of sound.
Byerly won't be the one behind the wheel though, that honor will be bestowed to his neighbor, and now friend, Eric Bair.
'My bucket list item was to go Bonneville, just go, not to drive,' Bair said.
Bair has been in several drag races himself since the 90s however, he's never traveled more than 140 mph, the streamliner will hopefully triple that speed.
'Oh, I'm excited,' he said adding that August couldn't have come sooner.
'There's no nerves there. I just want to get behind the wheel and pilot this thing.'

In 2020, the Speed Demon 715, a piston-powered land speed streamliner, made history by clocking 470.016 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats
While Byerly didn't need any extra motivation, after his wife of 63 years, Loa, passed away in 2020 his desire to see his project come to life was further ignited.
Byerly said Loa would always tell him, 'I just want this to do what you want it to do.'

Al Hassan Case at the ICC - Gender Crimes
Al Hassan Ag Abdoul Aziz Ag Mohamed Ag Mahmoud ("Al Hassan"), a Malian national born on 19 September 1977, faced ICC charges of sexual and gender-based crimes. On 4 April 2018, he made his first appearance before the ICC after the Pre-trial Chamber issued the arrest warrant for him on 27 March 2018. The confirmation of charges hearing was scheduled provisionally for 24 September 2018. The case against AI Hassan was recorded under the ICC Mali situation, which was referred by the government of Mali to the ICC to investigate alleged crimes committed on the territory of Mali by its nationals since January 2012. This is also the second case in Mali situation after the case against Mr. AI Mahdi, who among a long list of charges was also declared guilty of the war crime of attacking religious and historic buildings in Timbuktu, Mali, in June and July 2012, and was sentenced 9 years' of imprisonment for his commission of crime.
According to the arrest warrant, Mr. Al Hassan is alleged to have been involved in the activities of armed groups AI-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb ("AQIM") and Ansar Eddine which took control of the city of Timbuktu. He is alleged to have committed crimes and religious and gender-based persecution against the civilian population in Timbuktu. Specifically, the Pre-Trial Chamber has concluded that the evidence submitted by the Office of the Prosecutor is sufficient enough to provide reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. AI Hassan has committed crimes against humanity (torture, rape and sexual slavery; persecution of the inhabitants of Timbuktu on religious and gender grounds; and other inhumane acts) and war crimes (rape and sexual slavery; violence to person and outrages upon personal dignity; and attacks intentionally directed against buildings dedicated to religion and historic monument in Timbuktu, Mali, between 2012 and 2013. He is further charged with arbitrary punishment of civilians without trial in Timbuktu who broke the rules and prohibitions imposed by those armed groups. These requirements affect all areas of public life.
In particular, the case against Mr. AI Hassan shows ICC's commitment to prosecute sexual and gender-based violence and to protect the interests of victims and witnesses of such crimes, which is a very important subject to many Americans who feel deeply about it. The Rome Statute is the first international treaty permanently enforcing international law about various forms of sexual and gender-based crimes, including rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, and other forms of sexual violence. Recognizing the enormous obstacles and challenges to the effective investigation and prosecution of these crimes, the Prosecutor has included this issue as strategic goals in her Strategic Plan 2012-2015. In addition, The Office of the Prosecutor Policy Paper on Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes launched in June 2014 affirms the commitment of the Office to paying special attention to sexual and gender-based crimes in line with statutory provisions and provides clear and comprehensive guidance on issues regarding with sexual and gender-based crimes in all aspects of operations.

The significance of the International Criminal Court: Celebrating the ICC's 20th Birthday in the US

John Washburn (Convener of the American NGO Coalition for the ICC) was the moderator of the discussion.
The Rome Statute is the founding treaty of the ICC, and its creation in 1998 marked a milestone in seeking international justice by subjecting sensitive | [

military and security matters to international law and holding powerful perpetrators accountable for crimes. During the event, panelists discussed the uniqueness of the ICC, its relationship with the United Nations, the interaction between the Rome Statute and general international law, and the meaning of this 20th anniversary celebration.
Mr. Washburn began the conversation by introducing highlights of the ICC, demonstrating that it is a not a branch of government nor an organ of the UN, but a freestanding and independent criminal court which has the right to determine its own jurisdiction. It tries only individuals for legal reasons. One key point about the ICC legal process is that the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) is required to conduct a preliminary examination to determine whether there is sufficient reason to proceed with a formal investigation. If the Prosecutor concludes that the examination provides the basis for achieving a formal investigation, she would request, or in some cases go forward on her own initiative, a formal investigation. Another strong difference between the powers of domestic courts and the ICC is that the ICC has no enforcement power, so State Parties must act on their obligations under the Rome Statute to arrest the accused person. Therefore, it is very crucial for the ICC to strengthen cooperation with State Parties that will provide enforcement. Moreover, a very important aspect of the Court that attracts favorable attention in the United States is that the Court has special services for victims, which includes one office organizing and paying reparation to victims and another providing legal assistance and representation to victims throughout proceedings.
Professor Lee then discussed the Court's principle of complementarity, asserting that it was not until 1990s did supporters of a permanent international criminal court decide that instead of a super court, it should have a supplementary court which complements national criminal jurisdiction. Only when a state is unwilling or unable to exercise jurisdiction, does the ICC come in. This approach was well received by states and it has become the basic principle of the ICC. However, this principle has not been fully implemented yet and we need to further address how to encourage those countries which have not joined the the Court to incorporate the ICC into their national jurisdictions.
Professor Damrosch acknowledged the Court's success and commented that the very existence and the activities of the Court or the processes by which the crimes addressed by the Court get brought into national legal systems may have had some sort of deterrent effect on the commision of those crimes. She also talked about the interaction between the Rome Statute and the broader system of international law, explaining that the Rome Statute is embedded one way or another in just about every chapter of international law curricula, such as the principle of consent, the entry into force and withdrawal.
Then Ms. Pia-Comella talked about the meaning of the anniversary and the current status of preparations for celebration events. She asserted that this anniversary is both a celebration and a commemoration. The Rome Statute has criminalized the use of child soldiers and the empirical evidence has shown that this provision has deterred the commission of this crime. Meanwhile, we are celebrating in terms of the promotion of human rights. The Court has very groundbreaking provisions for victims' representation and protection, and especially the victims of sexual and gender-based violence and conflict. We are using the 20th anniversary to raise awareness and to link it to other issues. For example, this year is also the 70th anniversary of the genocide prevention treaty. In addition, the celebration will help us garner even more support, full understanding and honest discussion to push forward the concept of complementarity, and to gather broader political support for the Court.
At the end of the discussion, panelists engaged the audience in a series of questions about international legal issues, the ongoing ICC situations, and the Court's future relationship with the US.
Activating the Crime of Aggression at the ICC in 2018
The development of the Crime of Aggression has involved a lengthy deliberation among civil society and governments which culminated in its approval by the Assembly of State Parties at the International Criminal Court in 2017. Delegates could not reach a consensus on the definition, breadth, or application of the crime of aggression at the creation of the Rome Statute in 1998; however, delegates compromised at the time to include the crime of aggression in the Rome Statute Article 5 of the crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court after the negotiation of a definition | [

. At a Review Conference in 2010 in Uganda, delegates negotiated the definition and purview of the crime to facilitate State Party ratifications of amendments to the Rome Statute at an Assembly of State Parties (ASP) thereafter.
The Kampala Review Conference disagreed about a provision—specifically whether State Parties should enable the Court's jurisdiction over aggression through either opting out if unwilling to accept a broadly inclusive application of the provision or opting in to choose the jurisdiction of the Court with the new amendments to the Statute. The US, as an observer delegation rather than a State Party delegation, had advocated for the opt-in option and broad Security Council referral control during the Preparatory Commission following the Rome conference. At the Kampala Conference, most countries felt that a consensus had been achieved on definition and breadth of the amendments. However, it later appeared that some disagreements over jurisdiction remained. During the 2017 ASP, delegates further negotiated between the majority advocating for a "broad view" by which states can elect to opt out of the ICC's jurisdiction for the aggression amendments and the strong minority advocating for a "narrow view" of ICC jurisdiction requiring states to opt in to the provision. Ultimately, delegates voted to adopt the aggression amendments at the 2017 ASP along the narrow view—State Parties must opt in to accept the amendments to enable their enforcement in the state territory and over the nationals of those State Parties.
Defining the Crime of Aggression is actually not a new concept. United States delegates had advocated during the Rome Conference for the inclusion of the Crime of Aggression in the Rome Statute with the requirement that the Security Council must refer cases to the Court as a final effort to solidify the crime in the initial text; however, there was no consensus for the requirement at the time. Concern about ICC jurisdiction over acts of aggression proved to be one critical reason that the Bush administration would not sign the Rome Statute. The administration was concerned that US military activities internationally could be considered crimes of aggression.
This was a departure from previous US positions on the crime of aggression. US efforts to prosecute the crime of aggression extend back to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (Tokyo). In The Journal of International and Comparative Law, Jennifer Trahan described, "The Nuremberg Tribunal deemed 'crimes against peace' to be 'the supreme international crime, only differing from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.' Trahan also pointed to the prohibition of aggressive use of force enshrined in U.N. Charter Article 2(4), which precludes use of force against the "territorial integrity" or "political independence" of any state, unless authorized by U.N. Security Council Chapter VII enforcement actions or Article 51 arguments of individual or collective self-defense.[1]
The new definition of the crime of aggression is as follows:
"'crime of aggression' means the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of a State, of an act of aggression which, by its character, gravity and scale, constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations."[2]
The amendments then include a list of actions that would qualify as an "act of aggression": "the use of armed force by a State against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations… [including any] of the following acts, regardless of a declaration of war, shall… qualify as an act of aggression:
(a) The invasion or attack by the armed forces of a State of the territory of another State, or any military occupation, however temporary, resulting from such invasion or attack, or any annexation by the use of force of the territory of another State or part thereof;
(b) Bombardment by the armed forces of a State against the territory of another State or the use of any weapons by a State against the territory of another State;
(c) The blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another State;
(d) An attack by the armed forces of a State on the land, sea or air forces, or marine and air fleets of another State | [

(g) The sending by or on behalf of a State of armed bands, groups, irregulars or mercenaries, which carry out acts of armed force against another State of such gravity as to amount to the acts listed above, or its substantial involvement therein."[3]
If any acts fell under these categories but were authorized by the Security Council or were for individual or collective self-defense, they would not qualify as crimes of aggression.[4]
To initiate any investigation on a crime of aggression, a referral can originate from the Security Council, a State Party, or the Office of the Prosecutor with Pre-Trial Chamber approval.[5] The aggression amendments do not allow the ICC jurisdiction over Non-States Parties, or their nationals, unless the case is referred by the Security Council for Non-State Parties. Therefore, this stipulation offers the Permanent Five Security Council members who are not State Parties—namely the US, Russia, and China—de facto immunity from the Court's jurisdiction because of their vetoes.[6] (For clarity, the ICC only tries individuals, so such cases and resultant trials only involve the culpability of the most senior level leadership.) The aggression amendments will enter into force for State Parties that have ratified them by July 17, 2018, which is also the 20th anniversary of the ICC's founding treaty, the Rome Statute.[7]
There are some potential complications that will need to be considered. Are states that ratify the Rome Statute after the adoption of the amendments subject to the amendment or must they additionally ratify it? Can non-State Parties by a special declaration accept the Court's jurisdiction in relation to these amendments?[8] For these questions and other grey areas, the ICC judges have the discretion to determine the breadth and limitations of the aggression amendments. Despite limitations to the Court's jurisdiction over the crime of aggression, the beginning of the Court's jurisdiction over this critical fourth crime on the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Rome Statute marks a momentous milestone and progress for the Court.

The Palestine-Israel Situation at the ICC: an update of the Prosecutor's preliminary examination in Palestine
On January 16, 2015, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Mrs, Fatou Bensouda, launched a preliminary examination into the situation in Palestine to determine whether there is a reasonable basis to proceed with a formal investigation. Specifically, the Prosecutor will, on the basis of evidence available, consider jurisdiction, the admissibility of alleged crimes, domestic prosecution of them, their seriousness and the interests of justice. If these criteria are met, since the Prosecutor is addressing the situation on her own initiative, she might ask the Pre- | [

Q: How to delete local storage items of browser on logout using php How to delete local storage items of browser on logout using php.
I want to delete all saved browser data on logout using php.
Because I want to show bootstrap alert box only on every login but not on every page refresh.
When user logout it will again reset. When user again login it will show.
My code is shown below
$(document).ready(function() {
if (localStorage.getItem('message1') != 'shown') {
$('#message1').toggleClass('in');
window.setTimeout(function() {
$("#message1").fadeTo(500, 0).slideUp(500, function() {
$(this).remove();
});
}, 10000);
localStorage.setItem('message1', 'shown')
}
});
.flyover {
margin-right: -400px;
overflow: hidden;
opacity: 0.9;
z-index: 1050;
transition: all 1s ease;
position: fixed;
top: 100px;
right: 20px;
width: 300px;
z-index: 2000;
}
.flyover.in {
margin-right: 10px;
}
.alert {
color: white ! important;
}
.alert.close {
font-size: 18px ! important;
font-weight: 300 ! important;
line-height: 18px ! important;
color: white ! important;
}

A: My solution was to add a script tag on the login page
<script type="text/javascript">
localStorage.clear();
</script>
A: If you want to clear the storage inside login:
$('.logout').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'logout.php',
data: {
id: '123'
},
datatype: 'html',
cache: 'false',
success: function(response) {
localStorage.clear();
},
error: function() {
}
});
});

the javascript when needed.
For example you can write js code to reset to whatever you want and invoke that on login page onload. So, whenever user visits the login page to get logged-in your js will invoke. OR you can bind it to your on-click event on the logout button. OR you can keep that into login page only, and upon logout redirect the user back to the login page, that will invoke the required js.
If you need the code example someone else have posted in their answer.
A: Add a script tag on the logout onclick
<a href="{{ route('logout') }}"
onclick="event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();
localStorage.clear();"
class="dropdown-item notify-item">
<i class="pe-7s-power"></i>
<span>Logout</span>
</a>
A: I found answer to my question this can be easily done with the help of PHP & any database.
In dashboard.php write this code.

The Robert R. McCormick Foundation (previously known as the McCormick Tribune Foundation) is a Chicago-based grantmaking organization which funds entities mainly covering journalism and freedom of speech issues, primarily in Illinois. The organization is one of the largest private grantmaking organizations in the country and held assets of $1.25 billion as of 2018. [1]
The McCormick foundation has been closely related to the Chicago Tribune since its creation in 1955; Robert McCormick was the owner and publisher of the Tribune until his death in the same year. The organization has since cut ties with the Chicago Tribune after an ownership change at the newspaper..
The McCormick Foundation was founded in 1955 upon the death of Robert R. McCormick, the owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune, which he took over from his grandfather in the 1920s. McCormick dedicated $55 million toward the creation of a foundation that would be dedicated to advocating for First Amendment rights, especially those pertaining to journalists. [2]
Since its founding, the McCormick Foundation has grown substantially and is now one of the largest grantmaking organizations in the United States. In 2017, the organization held assets of more than $1.3 billion. [3]
The organization was previously named the McCormick Tribune Foundation. It held a substantial ownership stake in the Chicago Tribune until 2008, when it sold its stake and changed its legal name to the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. The organization remained loosely related to the Tribune in that board members of the Tribune remained on the board of the McCormick Foundation. [4]
Robert R. McCormick was the CEO and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. McCormick was a Republican alderman in Chicago in the early 1900s and 1910s. He used his platform as a politician to speak out against U.S. involvement in World War I. Nevertheless, McCormick enlisted in the Illinois National Guard in 1916 and was commissioned as a major. The entire National Guard of Illinois was called into federal service during World War I and McCormick was sent to Europe to serve. McCormick served in France as a commander of the First Cavalry Division of the U.S. Army. [5]
McCormick removed himself from any political positions in 1920 when he took control of the Chicago Tribune. He used the Tribune to publish anti-war sentiments before the U.S. entered the Second World War and was always a strong opponent of President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal. McCormick continued to use the Tribune to dissent with politicians including the mayor of Chicago at the time, William Hale Thompson (R), and Illinois Governor Len Small (R). [6]
The McCormick Foundation spends a considerable amount of money annually on maintaining and upgrading Cantigny Park, previously the home of Robert McCormick. McCormick stated in his will that part of the $55 million endowment left to found the organization would go toward this purpose. The organization has exceeded simple maintenance of the grounds and has turned the area into a tourist attraction preserving the history of Chicago and Robert McCormick. Cantigny now includes multiple museums, a golf course, walking gardens, sports fields, and playgrounds. [7]
The First Division museum is the largest museum on the grounds and is devoted to displaying the history of the First Cavalry Division of the United States Army, the division in which McCormick served. The museum underwent an $8.5-million overhaul and was opened to the public in 2017. The museum focuses on key victories in the World Wars in which the First Division played key roles. The Museum averages around 175,000 visitors annually and does not charge for entry. [8]
While the Robert R. McCormick Foundation was originally devoted to making grants for journalism-related entities, it has a recent history | [

of funding left-of-center and liberal organizations which advocate for a variety of issues.
The organization made a $100,000 grant in 2017 to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, a left-of-center organization which advocates for more lenient immigration legislation and lessening immigration enforcement. The organization also made a number of grants amounting to around $50,000 in 2016 to the Common Cause Education Fund, an organization which focuses on campaign finance laws and advocated for redistricting which would favor Democratic candidates. The organization has also made grants to Latino Policy Forum, an organization which advocated for rent ceilings, minimum wage increases, immigration policy reform, and tax incentives for Hispanic people in Illinois.

Hiller is a graduate of Harvard Law School and previously served as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart. Hiller resigned in 2008 from his position as publisher for the L.A. Times after a long stint low revenue for the paper. There were a large number of staff cuts under Hiller's leadership, and he was criticized for indecisive leadership decisions. [11]
The Robert R. McCormick foundation is one of the largest charitable foundations in the United States holding assets of more than $1.3 billion as of 2017. The organization saw an almost $100 million decline in assets from 2017 to 2018 when their endowment fell to around $1.25 billion. [12][13]
Officers of the organization take relatively low compensation compared to other organizations with billion-dollar endowments. David Hiller, the CEO and President of the organization — and highest paid employee — was compensated $389,170 in 2018, and was one of only two employees breaking the $300,000 mark, while only two other employees broke $200,000 in base compensation. [14]
The McCormick Foundation is one of the largest grantmaking organizations in the United States and makes tens of millions of dollars in grants annually. According to tax documents, the foundation gave $69 million in 2016, $89 million in 2017, and $47 million in 2018. [15][16]

For villagers who have installed streaming boxes with the Sharp Eyes system, watching live footage captured by the village's surveillance cameras is just one click away on the remote control.
Sichuan's Anxi village, for example, installed 25 surveillance cameras for the Sharp Eyes project and nine Skynet surveillance cameras, all connected to the villager's televisions. A Sichuan Daily reporter visited a resident's home in April 2017 and could see the live footage of all 34 CCTV cameras on his TV.
"I watch it in my spare time, and when suspicious things happen I will notify village officials," the resident told Sichuan Daily. Apart from television, villagers can also download apps on their smart phones to see the surveillance.
According to Sichuan authorities, by December 2017, 14,087 villages have been connected to the Sharp Eyes project and 41,695 surveillance cameras were installed. 152,855 villagers have installed apps, connecting them to surveillance cameras in their neighborhood.
After trials in some provinces, including Sichuan, since September 2015, the Sharp Eyes project was written into the "No 1 central document," a national roadmap for rural vitalization, this February, Xinhua reported. According to the document, the Sharp Eyes project should be promoted nationwide as a way to boost village safety and security.
Sharp Eyes was also mentioned as one of the key tasks for 2018 in the government work report of many provinces, including Jilin, Shandong, Hunan, Guizhou and Hainan provinces. So far, construction of the project is in full swing in many areas.
Experts say safety in rural areas is the top concern for the project, as the rapid urbanization process in China has left many villages unattended and unguarded.
"There used to be grass-roots civil defense organizations in rural areas. But as more young males leave the countryside to become migrant workers in cities, many rural areas now lack the human resources needed for public security," Wang said.
In some remote villages, such as Xinlin county in Leshan Ebian Yi Autonomous County in Sichuan, the shortage in security personnel is so severe that five policemen have to take care of the safety of over 18,000 people, Xinhua reported.
Many rural areas are also plagued by security issues, such as mafia-style gangs, which have disturbed rural public affairs, media reports show.
"Without a modernized defense system, it is difficult to solve these problems," he added.
Tian Feng, a system engineer with Uniview, a Hangzhou-based video surveillance supplier for the Sharp Eyes project, said a surveillance camera network is one solution to these problems. "Although surveillance videos cannot directly solve these problems, they're a powerful civil deterrence that can prevent people from committing crimes," he told the Global Times.
According to Xinhua, in areas in Sichuan connected to the Sharp Eyes project, preventable crimes dropped by 50 percent and the crime clearance rate was boosted 50 percent in 2016. In Shandong, the crime clearance rate increased by 21.1 percent while preventable crimes dropped 18.4 percent, according to People's Daily in 2017.
Tian said that apart from security purposes, the Sharp Eyes systems will also serve as a communication channel between villagers and the local government, allowing villagers to report community issues such as the malfunctioning of infrastructure facilities, environmental concerns and traffic issues. The system will then relay these reports to relevant departments.
With massive amounts of footage generated on a daily basis, the project is not without challenges. Tian said that, technically, the difficulty lies in safely connecting billions of gigabytes of data to one platform, and allowing this data to be accessed conveniently. Currently, in some provinces, the surveillance data collected on the village level can already be accessed on the provincial platform, turning remote monitoring and management into reality.
Wang said the modernized infrastructure of China's rural areas is a basis for the project to be constructed. The project will also require the cooperation of many departments, including public security authorities and telecommunication companies.

Prior to this trip, friends and colleagues, even my parents, have been discouraging me to travel to Mexico. Media reports make it seem like all of Mexico is at war. Yes, there's been an ongoing war between drug cartels. But I'm not even going up north. My destination is merely Central Mexico. Surprisingly, 2 of my friends Clint & Neil decided to "risk" their lives with me.
So off we went on a Saturday morning. While I flew out of Newark, Clint flew out of La Guardia while Neil flew out directly from Miami via Aeromexico. I had the same connecting American Airlines flight with Clint in Dallas where we flew together into Mexico's Benito Juarez International Airport. Our two flights arrived within 30 minutes of each other, almost at 5 PM. Immigration lines weren't so long so we made it to customs in no time.
Since we needed Mexican pesos for our transport to the city, we headed straight for the bank right before custom's exit. It turns out the exchange rate is less favorable than just a few steps away at the main arrival's hall where plenty of cambios offered 2 pesos more per dollar. Armed now with sufficient funds, we began looking for Neil.
However, we didn't expect multiple arrivals hall in this very big, modern airport terminal. We came out expecting to see Neil already waiting for us since his flight arrived first but he was nowhere in sight. Despite his phone being 'on roaming', we couldn't reach him. We walked the length of this massive terminal four times only to find strangers gawking at us - perhaps they thought we were another Hiroshi Nohara (who stayed at the airport for 117 days in 2008). Not wanting to linger much longer, we decided to just head for our hostel and hope Neil has already gone ahead.
Besides taxis and buses, the city center can be conveniently reached via subway from the airport. However, big luggage, even carry-ons, are frowned upon at Mexico City's crowded subway trains. We went to one of the authorized airport taxi booths, paid for a boleto to Centro Historico district (196 pesos or almost $15), gave it to one of the agents outside, and we were quickly ushered into a waiting car.
Half an hour later, we were outside Hostal Centro Historico Regina. Neil still wasn't around. We checked-in, got the "suite" room for 900 pesos, a 2-level room with one and a half bathroom and a balcony overlooking a pedestrian street. The hostel's housed in an old building that used to be a warehouse. It looks hip with very friendly staff at the front desk. What's more, brekkie is free and so is WiFi.
We almost decided to head back to the airport when Neil finally makes it to the hostel. As it turns out, his flight landed in Terminal 2 which was in another terminal building. Our mistake was that we never bothered to check what terminals our flights arrived at - all along, we thought we all will be arriving in the same airport terminal. Never mind, at least, no one among us stayed in the airport for the long haul like Hiroshi Nohara did.
Yayayay! I can't wait for the next installment of your Mexico trip. Can I make a confession? I am dreaming of travelling to Mexico since I was a kiddo. Maybe because we have a strong connection with the place, you know with all the galleon trade stuffs.
And at one point during my childhood life, I became a HUGE fan of Mexican soap operas.
Hahaha, funny story and what a way to begin the trip! I loved my visit to Mexico City last year, and your photos of the Centro Historico just brought back memories. By the way, watch out for the intense make-out sessions. Of all the Latin American countries I have been to, Mexico seems to be the one who advocate it the most!
the view from the balcony is so beautiful! i might end up writing more travel stories from there.
i love mexico. do you know gay mitra emami? she also featured mexico and i believe they are still in south america.
na-curious ako kay hiroshi nohara! i'll google more of him later. haha!

Julian Assange Yanis Varoufakis 26908 Views March 24, 2020
Last night, immediately after our first DiEM25 TV event, my phone rang. It was Julian. From prison. It was not that first time that he honoured me deeply by using the few phone calls prison allows him to make to call me. Like every other such occasion, when I unexpectedly recognise his voice a torrent of emotions comes flooding in. Guilt, primarily, at the thought that, the moment the line is disconnected, he will remain there – in the exceedingly dark place to which he has been confined because of a decision he made long ago to help the rest of us grasp what the powers-that-be have been doing on our behalf without our knowledge or consent.
Julian wanted to talk about the effects of Covid-19 on the world we live in and, of course, on his case. He remarked that Jeremy Corbyn's election manifesto, that the establishment had lambasted for being too radical, now seems unreasonable moderate. We laughed at the audacity of those who were telling the people of Britain that it was irresponsible to spend a few tens billions on providing proper funding to the NHS and social care for all, on turning broadband into a public utility, and on taking the railways into public ownership to make them work properly – the very same people who, now that big business and capitalism more generally, are in serious trouble seem to have discovered the money tree, announcing trillions to be pumped into the economy. Julian did not know (how could he, when the prison authorities deny him access to newspapers, the internet, even to BBC Radio 4?) that Boris Johnson had, earlier yesterday, announced the temporary nationalisation of the railways – seeing that privateers can never provide a decent service in the midst of a national emergency.
After a few minutes during which we allowed ourselves to bask in the neoliberals' Waterloo, in the hands of some RNA that the system could simply not cope with without abandoning all its certainties, we discussed what this means for the future. Julian said, quite correctly, that this new phase of the crisis is, at the very least, making it clear to us that anything goes – that everything is now possible. To which I added that anything ranges from the best to the worst possible developments. Whether the epidemic helps deliver the good or the most evil society will depend, of course, on us – on whether progressives manage to band together. For if we do not, just like in 2008 we did not, the bankers, the spivs, the oligarchs and the neofascists will prove, again, that they are the ones who know how not to let a good crisis go to waste.
Will we succeed? Julian had a hopeful comment on this: At the very least, transnational organisations like Wikileaks and DiEM25 had honed the digital tools for online debates and campaigns well before Covid-19 came on the scene. In some measure, we are better prepared than others.
Then we talked about his case. His prison conditions are deteriorating. Now that visits have stopped, his isolation is getting worse. His lawyers are about to petition the court for bail. If any prisoner's health at Belmarsh High Security prison is in jeopardy from Covid-19 infection, it is Julian's. Will the court grant him bail? Unlikely. Will the new crisis change the odds of his extradition? We agreed that the answer to the last question is: probably, but only a little – now that the national security complex in the US and in the UK have things to worry about that did not feature a few weeks ago.

Our conversation lasted ten minutes and one second. Then the prison warden cut the line. The one man who knows the perils and pains of isolation better than all of us, had emerged from it to give me, us, a ten-minute lesson in how not to lose it while in confinement.
Make no mistake dear reader: Julian is struggling to keep his faculties, not to lose his mind. For hours every day in solitary he fights the darkness and the despair. When he sounds lucid, funny even, on the phone it is so because he has worked for 20 hours in anticipation of the moment when he will have to communicate his side of the story, his thoughts, to the outside world. No one should have to live that way.
And so it is that, now that we are all in some state of isolation, Julian's plight – as well as insights – must give us pause, and cause, to discover in ourselves the power, and the solidarity, necessary to ensure that this crisis is not wasted – that the inane and corrupt powers-that-be do not end up, once again, the beneficiaries.
Research into deadly viruses and biological weapons at US army lab shut down over fears they could escape

Fort Detrick researchers banned from working with anthrax, Ebola and smallpox until procedures improved

Researchers at Fort Detrick have been barred from working with the most dangerous pathogens after an inspection

America's main biological warfare lab has been ordered to stop all research into the deadliest viruses and pathogens over fears contaminated waste could leak out of the facility.
Fort Detrick, in Maryland, has been the epicentre of the US Army's bioweapons research since the beginning of the Cold War.
But last month the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – the government's public health body – stripped the base of its license to handle highly restricted "select agents", which includes Ebola, smallpox and anthrax.
The unusual move follows an inspection by the CDC at Fort Detrick which found several problems with new procedures used to decontaminate waste water.
For years the facility used a steam sterilisation plant to treat waste water, but after a storm flooded and ruined that machinery last year, Fort Detrick switched to a new chemical-based decontamination system.

But the CDC inspectors found the new procedures were not sufficient, with both mechanical failures causing leaks and researchers failing to properly follow the rules.
As a result, the organisation sent a "cease and desist" order to Fort Detrick, forcing it to suspend all research on select agents.

Although the United States officially abandoned its biological weapons programme in 1969, Fort Detrick has continued defensive research into deadly pathogens on the list of "select agents", including the Ebola virus, the organisms that cause the plague, and the highly toxic poison ricin.
The army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, based at Fort Detrick, says its primary mission today is to "protect the warfighter from biological threats" but its scientists also investigate outbreaks of disease among civilians and other threats to public health.
In recent years it has been involved in testing possible vaccines for Ebola, after several epidemics of the deadly virus in Africa.

A spokeswoman for the lab, Caree Vander Linden, said despite the CDC suspension order, there had not been any threat to public health or any leaks of hazardous material outside the base.

viruses using insects could create 'new class of biological weapon', scientists warn
The shutdown of research at Fort Detrick is likely to last several months, she also told the New York Times.
This is not the first time the lab has been temporarily shut down due to failures in handling the dangerous pathogens inside.
In 2009, research at Fort Detrick was suspended because it was discovered it was storing pathogens which were not listed on its inventory.
The regulations on keeping close track of hazardous biological material were tightened after the 2001 anthrax attacks, which saw five people die after spores were posted to several media newsrooms and Democratic senators.
The FBI's chief suspect in the 2001 case, Bruce Ivins, was a senior biological weapons researcher at Fort Detrick. He killed himself in 2008, shortly before the FBI was planning to charge him with the attacks.
Pentagon Biological Weapons Program Never Ended: US Bio-labs Around The World

Pentagon bio-weapons
Dilyana Gaytandzhieva is a Bulgarian investigative journalist and Middle East Correspondent. Over the last two years she has published a series of reports on weapons smuggling to ISIS in Syria. In the past year she came under pressure from the Bulgarian National Security Agency and was fired from her job in the Bulgarian newspaper Trud Daily, without explanation. Despite this, Dilyana continues her investigations. The following report, first published on South Front, provides an overview of the Pentagon's secretive development of biological weapons in bio-labs around the world.
@dgaytandzhieva
The US Army regularly produces deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins in direct violation of the UN Convention on the prohibition of Biological Weapons. Hundreds of thousands of unwitting people are systematically exposed to dangerous pathogens and other incurable diseases. Bio warfare scientists using diplomatic cover test man-made viruses at Pentagon bio laboratories in 25 countries across the world. These US bio-laboratories are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program - Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) - and are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia and Africa.
Pentagon's Biolabs
The Lugar Center, Republic of Georgia
Vaziani Air Base
The US Army has been deployed to Vaziani Military Air Base, 17 km away from the Pentagon bio-laboratory at the Lugar Center.
Georgia is a Testing Ground For Bioweapons
The Lugar Center is the Pentagon bio laboratory in Georgia. It is located just 17 km away from the US Vaziani military airbase in the capital Tbilisi. Tasked with the military program are biologists from the US Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-G) along with private contractors. The Bio-safety Level 3 Laboratory is accessible only to US citizens with security clearance. They are accorded diplomatic immunity under the 2002 US-Georgia Agreement on defense cooperation.

Defense Agreement
The USA-Georgia agreement accords diplomatic status to the US military and civilian personnel (including diplomatic vehicles), working on the Pentagon program in Georgia.
Information obtained from the US federal contracts registry clarifies some of the military activities at the Lugar Center - among them research on bio-agents (anthrax, tularemia) and viral diseases (e.g. Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever), and the collection of biological samples for future experiments.
Pentagon Contractors Produce Bio Agents Under Diplomatic Cover
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has outsourced much of the work under the military program to private companies, which are not held accountable to Congress, and which can operate more freely and move around the rule of law. US civilian personnel performing work at the Lugar Center | [

have also been given diplomatic immunity, although they are not diplomats. Hence, private companies can perform work, under diplomatic cover, for the US government without being under the direct control of the host state - in this case the Republic of Georgia. This practice is often used by the CIA to provide cover for its agents.
DTRA contractors
Three private American companies work at the US bio-laboratory in Tbilisi - CH2M Hill, Battelle and Metabiota. In addition to the Pentagon, these private contractors perform biological research for the CIA and various other government agencies.
CH2M Hill has been awarded $341.5 million DTRA contracts under the Pentagon's program for bio-laboratories in Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan, South East Asia. Half of this sum ($161.1 million) is allocated to the Lugar Center under the Georgian contract.
According to CH2M Hill, the US Company has secured biological agents and employed former bio-warfare scientists at the Lugar Center. These are scientists who are working for another American company involved in the military program in Georgia - Battelle Memorial Institute.
As a $59 million subcontractor at the Lugar Center, Battelle has extensive experience in research on bio-agents, as the company has already worked on the US Bio-weapons Program under 11 previous contracts with the US Army (1952-1966).

The private company performs work for the Pentagon's DTRA bio laboratories in Afghanistan, Armenia, Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. Battelle conducts research, development, testing, and evaluation using both highly toxic chemicals and highly pathogenic biological agents for a wide range of US government agencies. It has been awarded some $2 billion federal contracts in total, and ranks 23 on the Top 100 US government contractors list.
The CIA-Battelle Project Clear Vision
Project Clear Vision (1997 and 2000), a joint investigation by the CIA and the Battelle Memorial Institute, under a contract awarded by the Agency, reconstructed and tested a Soviet-era anthrax bomblet in order to test its dissemination characteristics. The project's stated goal was to assess bio-agents dissemination characteristics of bomblets. The clandestine CIA-Battelle operation was omitted from the US Biological Weapons Convention declarations submitted to the UN.

Top Secret Experiments
Battelle has operated a Top Secret Bio laboratory (National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center - NBACC) at Fort Detrick, Maryland, under a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contract for the last decade. The company has been awarded a $344.4 million federal contract (2006 - 2016) and another $17.3 million contract (2015 -2026) by DHS.

NBACC is classified as a US Top Secret facility.
Among the secret experiments performed by Battelle at NBACC, are: Assessment of powder dissemination technology, Assessment of hazard posed by aerosolized toxins, and Assessment of virulence of B. Pseudomallei (Meliodosis) as a function of aerosol particle in non-human primates. Melioidosis has the potential to be developed as a biological weapon, hence it is classed as a category B. Bioterrorism Agent. B. Pseudomallei was studied by the US as a potential bioweapon in the past.
Biowarfare scientists
Besides the military experiments at the Lugar Center in Georgia, Battelle has already produced bioterrorism agents at the Biosafety Level 4 NBACC Top Secret Laboratory at Fort Detrick in the US. An NBACC presentation lists 16 research priorities for the lab, including to characterize classical, emerging and genetically-engineered pathogens for their BTA (biological threat agent) potential; assess the nature of nontraditional, novel and non-endemic induction of disease from potential BTA; and to expand aerosol | [

Pentagon Biolabs at The epicenter of The Ebola Crisis
The US Company Metabiota Inc. has been awarded $18.4 million federal contracts under the Pentagon's DTRA program in Georgia and Ukraine for scientific and technical consulting services.
Metabiota services include global field-based biological threat research, pathogen discovery, outbreak response and clinical trials.
Metabiota Inc. had been contracted by the Pentagon to perform work for DTRA before and during the Ebola crisis in West Africa, and was awarded $3.1 million (2012-2015) for work in Sierra Leone - one of the countries at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak.
Metabiota labs
Metabiota worked on the Pentagon's project at the epicenter of the Ebola crisis, where three US biolabs are situated.
Ebola Crisis
A July 17, 2014 report, drafted by the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium, accused Metabiota Inc. of failing to abide by an existing agreement on how to report test results and for bypassing the Sierra Leonean scientists working there. The report also raised the possibility that Metabiota was culturing blood cells at the lab, something the report said was dangerous, as well as misdiagnosing healthy patients. All of those allegations were denied by Metabiota.

2011, the Lugar Center, Andrew C. Weber (on the right) - US Assistant Secretary of Defense (2009-2014), US DoD Deputy Coordinator for Ebola Response (2014-2015), is currently a Metabiota (US contractor) employee.
Military Experiments on Biting Insects
Entomological warfare is a type of biological warfare that uses insects to transmit diseases. The Pentagon has allegedly performed such entomological tests in Georgia and Russia.
Biting Flies in Georgia
In 2014 The Lugar Center was equipped with an insect facility and launched a project titled 'Raising Awareness about Barcoding of Sand Flies in Georgia and Caucasus'. The project covered a larger geographic area outside of Georgia - the Caucasus region. In 2014-2015 Phlebotomine sand fly species were collected under another project, 'Surveillance Work on Acute Febrile Illness' and all (female) sand flies were tested to determine their infectivity rate. A third project, also including sand flies collection, studied the characteristics of their salivary glands.

As a result, Tbilisi has been infested with biting flies since 2015. These biting insects live indoors, in bathrooms, all year long, which was not the typical behavior of these species in Georgia previously (normally the Phlebotomine fly season in Georgia is exceptionally short - from June to September). Local people complain of being bitten by these newly-appeared flies while naked in their bathrooms. They also have a strong resistance to cold and can survive even in sub-zero temperatures in the mountains.
Biting Flies in Dagestan, Russia
Since the start of the Pentagon project in 2014, flies similar to those in Georgia have appeared in neighboring Dagestan (Russia). According to local people, they bite and cause rashes. Their breeding habitats are house drains.

Flies from the Phlebotomine family carry dangerous parasites in their saliva which they transmit through a bite to humans. The disease, which these flies carry, is of high interest to the Pentagon. In 2003 during the US invasion of Iraq, American soldiers were severely bitten by sand flies and contracted Leishmoniasis. The disease is native to Iraq and Afghanistan, and if left untreated the acute form of Leishmoniasis can be fatal.

7 US Army report 'Arthropods of medical importance in Asia and the European USSR' lists all local insects, their distribution and the diseases that they carry. Biting flies, which live in drains, are also listed in the document. Their natural habitat, though, is the Philippines, not Georgia or Russia.

'Arthropods of medical importance in Asia and the European USSR', US Army report, 1967
Operation Whitecoat: Infected Flies Tested to Bite Humans
In 1970 and 1972, Sand Fly Fever tests were performed on humans according to a declassified US Army report - 'US Army Activities in the US, Biological Warfare Programs, 1977, vol. II, p. 203'. During Operation Whitecoat, volunteers were exposed to bites by infected sand flies. Operation Whitecoat was a bio-defense medical research program carried out by the US Army at Fort Detrick, Maryland, between 1954 and 1973.
Despite the official termination of the US bio-weapons program, in 1982 USAMRIID performed an experiment to see if sand flies and mosquitoes could be vectors of Rift Valley Virus, Dengue, Chikungunya and Eastern Equine Encephalitis - viruses which the US Army researched for their potential as bio-weapons.
Killer Insects
A. Aegypti
The Pentagon has a long history in using insects as vectors for diseases. According to a partially declassified 1981 US Army report, American bio warfare scientists carried out a number of experiments on insects. These operations were part of US Entomological Warfare under the Program for Biological Weapons of the US.
The Pentagon: How to Kill 625,000 People For Just $0.29 Cost Per Death
A US Army report in 1981 compared two scenarios - 16 simultaneous attacks on a city by A. Aegypti mosquitoes, infected with Yellow Fever, and Tularemia aerosol attack, and assessed their effectiveness in terms of cost and casualties.
Yellow Fever memo
cost for death
Operation Big Itch: Field tests were performed to determine coverage patterns and survivability of the tropical rat flea Xenopsylla cheopis for use as a disease vector in biological warfare.
Operation Big Buzz: 1 million A. Aegypti mosquitoes were produced, 1/3 were placed in munitions and dropped from aircraft, or dispersed on the ground. The mosquitoes survived the airdrop and actively sought out human blood.

Evaluation of Entomological Warfare as a potential Danger to the US and European NATO nations, US Army, March 1981 Report
Operation May Day: Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes were dispersed through ground-based methods in Georgia, USA, during a US Army operation codenamed May Day.
Operation May Day
Parts of the 1981 US Army report such as the "Mass production of Aedes Aegypti" have not been declassified, potentially meaning that the project is still ongoing.
Aedes Aegypti, also known as yellow fever mosquito, have been widely used in US military operations. The same species of mosquitoes are alleged to be the vectors of dengue, chikungunya and the Zika virus, which causes genetic malformations in newborns
Operation Bellweather: The US Army Chemical Research and Development Command, Biological Weapons Branch, studied outdoor mosquito biting activity in a number of field tests at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in 1960. Virgin female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which had been starved, were tested upon troops out in the open air.

Military Experiments With Tropical Mosquitoes and Ticks in Georgia
Such species of mosquitoes and fleas (studied in the past under the US Entomological Warfare Program) have also been collected in Georgia and tested at the Lugar Center.

'Virus and Other Arboviruses in Georgia' in 2014, the never-before-seen tropical mosquito Aedes albopictus was detected for the first time and after an absence of decades (60 years), the existence of Aedes Aegypti mosquito was confirmed in west Georgia.
Aedes Albopictus is a vector of many viral pathogens, Yellow fever virus, Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika.
These tropical mosquitoes Aedes Albopictus, having never been seen before in Georgia, have also been detected in neighboring Russia (Krasnodar) and Turkey. According to data provided by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, their spread is unusual for this part of the world.

Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes have been distributed only in Georgia, southern Russia and northern Turkey. They were detected for the first time in 2014 after the start of the Pentagon program at the Lugar Center.
Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
Under another DTRA project, 'Epidemiology and Ecology of Tularemia in Georgia' (2013-2016), 6,148 ground ticks were collected; 5,871 were collected off cattle and 1,310 fleas and 731 ticks were caught. In 2016 a further 21,590 ticks were collected and studied at the Lugar Center.
Anthrax Outbreak in Georgia and NATO Human Trials
In 2007 Georgia ended its policy of having compulsory annual livestock anthrax vaccination. As a result, the morbidity rate of the disease reached its peak in 2013. The same year NATO started human-based anthrax vaccine tests at the Lugar Center in Georgia.

In 2007, despite the anthrax outbreak, the Georgian government terminated compulsory vaccination for 7 years. 2013 saw NATO begin human trials on a new anthrax vaccine in Georgia.

Pentagon Research on Russian Anthrax
Anthrax is one of the bio agents weaponized by the US Army in the past. Despite the Pentagon's claims that its program is only defensive, there are facts to the contrary. In 2016 at the Lugar Center American scientists carried out research on the 'Genome Sequence of the Soviet/Russian Bacillus anthracis Vaccine Strain 55-VNIIVViM', which was funded by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) Cooperative Biological Engagement Program in Tbilisi, and administered by Metabiota (the US contractor under the Pentagon program in Georgia).
In 2017 the DTRA funded further research - 'Ten Genome Sequences of Human and Livestock Isolates of Bacillus anthracis from the Country of Georgia' - which was performed by USAMRU-G at the Lugar Center.
34 People Intentionally-Infected With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Georgia
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection through a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus). The disease was first characterized in Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease. In 2014 34 people became infected (including a 4-year old child) with CCHF. Three of them died. The same year, Pentagon biologists studied the virus in Georgia under the DTRA project 'Epidemiology of febrile illnesses caused by Dengue viruses and other Arboviruses in Georgia'. The project included tests on patients with fever symptoms and the collection of ticks, as possible vectors of CCHFV for laboratory analysis.

F outbreak in Georgia is still unknown. According to the local Veterinary Department report, only one tick from all of the collected species from the infected villages tested positive for the disease. Despite the claims of local authorities that the virus was transmitted to humans from animals, all animal blood samples were negative too. The lack of infected ticks and animals is inexplicable given the sharp increase of CCHF human cases in 2014, meaning that the outbreak was not natural and the virus was spread intentionally.
In 2016 another 21,590 ticks were collected for DNA databases for future studies at the Lugar Center under the Pentagon project 'Assessing the Seroprevalence and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in Georgia'.
Symptoms of CCHF
Military Bio-lab Blamed For Deadly CCHF Outbreak in Afghanistan
237 cases of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) have also been reported across Afghanistan, 41 of which were fatal as of December 2017. According to Afghanistan's Ministry of Health, most of the cases have been registered in the capital Kabul, where 71 cases have been reported with 13 fatalities, and in the province of Herat near the border with Iran (67 cases).
CCHF cases Afghanistan
CCHF outbreak bio-lab
Afghanistan is one of 25 countries across the world with Pentagon bio-laboratories on their territory. The project in Afghanistan is part of the US bio-defense program - Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP), which is funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The DTRA contractors, working at the Lugar Center in Georgia, CH2M Hill and Battelle, have also been contracted for the program in Afghanistan. CH2M Hill has been awarded a $10.4 million contract (2013-2017). The Pentagon contractors in Afghanistan and Georgia are the same, and so are the diseases which are spreading among the local population in both countries.
Why The Pentagon Collects And Studies Bats
Bats are allegedly the reservoir hosts to the Ebola Virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and other deadly diseases. However, the precise ways these viruses are transmitted to humans are currently unknown. Numerous studies have been performed under the DTRA Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) in a search for deadly pathogens of military importance in bats.
Pentagon bats
221 bats were euthanized at the Lugar Center for research purposes in 2014.
euthanizing bats
Bats have been blamed for the deadly Ebola outbreak in Africa (2014-2016). However, no conclusive evidence of exactly how the virus 'jumped' to humans has ever been provided, which raises suspicions of intentional and not natural infection.
Engineering Deadly Viruses is Legal in the US
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) first appeared in 2012 and is thought to have originated in bats and spread directly to humans and/or camels. However, like Ebola, the precise ways the virus spreads are unknown.
1,980 cases with 699 deaths caused by MERS-CoV were reported in 15 countries across the world (as of June 2017).
MERS deaths
© WHO
3 to 4 out of every 10 patients reported with MERS have died.
MERS-CoV is one of the viruses that have been engineered by the US and studied by the Pentagon, as well as influenza and SARS. Confirmation of this practice is Obama's 2014 temporary ban on government funding for such 'dual-use' research. The moratorium was lifted in 2017 and experiments have continued. Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogens (PPPs) experiments are legal in the US.
Such experiments aim to increase the transmissibility and/or virulence of pathogens.

classified as a bioterrorism agent and was developed as such in the past by the US. However, the Pentagon's research on tularemia continues, as well as on possible vectors of the bacteria such as ticks and rodents, which cause the disease. The DTRA has launched a number of projects on Tularemia along with other especially dangerous pathogens in Georgia.
Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDPs), or select agents, represent a major concern for public health globally. These highly pathogenic agents have the potential to be weaponized, with proof of their military importance seen through the following Pentagon projects: Epidemiology and Ecology of Tularemia in Georgia (2013-2016) (60,000 vectors were collected for strain isolates and genome research); Epidemiology of Human Tularemia in Georgia; and Human Disease Epidemiology and Surveillance of Especially Dangerous Pathogens in Georgia (study of select agents among patients with undifferentiated fever and hemorrhagic fever/septic shock).

The US Military Program is Sensitive Information
Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the US Department of Defense and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research. The Pentagon has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement:

Biowarfare Scientists Under Diplomatic Cover
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) - an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.
Protocol memo
The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover.
364 Ukrainians Died From Swine Flu
One of the Pentagon laboratories is located in Kharkiv, where in January 2016 at least 20 Ukrainian soldiers died from a flu-like virus in just two days, with 200 more being hospitalized. The Ukrainian government did not report on the dead Ukrainian soldiers in Kharkiv. As of March 2016, 364 deaths were reported across Ukraine (81.3 % caused by Swine Flu A (H1N1) pdm09 - the same strain which caused the world pandemic in 2009).

According to Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) intelligence information, the US bio-lab in Kharkiv leaked the deadly virus.
Police Investigate Infection With Incurable Disease
Late last year, a highly suspicious Hepatitis A infection spread rapidly in just few months across South East Ukraine, where most of the Pentagon biolabs are located.
hundreds infected hepatitis A
37 people have been hospitalized for Hepatitis A in the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv as of January 2018. Local police have launched an investigation into "infection with human immunodeficiency virus and other incurable diseases." Three years ago more than 100 people in the | [

same city became infected with Cholera. Both diseases are alleged to have spread through contaminated drinking water.
In the summer of 2017, 60 people with Hepatitis A were admitted to hospital in the city of Zaporizhia. The cause of this outbreak is still unknown.
In the Odessa region, 19 children from an orphanage were hospitalized for hepatitis A in June 2017.
29 cases of Hepatitis A were reported in Kharkiv in November 2017. The virus was isolated in contaminated drinking water. One of the Pentagon bio-labs located in Kharkiv was blamed for the deadly Flu outbreak a year ago that claimed the lives of 364 Ukrainians.
Ukraine And Russia Hit By New Highly Virulent Cholera Infection
In 2011 Ukraine was hit by a cholera outbreak. 33 patients were reportedly hospitalized for severe diarrhea. A second outbreak struck the country in 2014 when more than 800 people all across Ukraine were reported to have contracted the disease. In 2015 at least 100 new cases were registered in the city of Mykolaiv alone.

Vibrio Cholera
A new highly virulent variant of the cholera agent Vibrio cholera, with a high genetic similarity to the strains reported in Ukraine, hit Moscow in 2014. According to a 2014 Russian Research Anti-Plaque Institute genetic study, the cholera strain isolated in Moscow was similar to the bacteria which caused the epidemic in neighboring Ukraine.
Southern Research Institute, one of the US contractors working at the bio-laboratories in Ukraine, has projects on Cholera, as well as on Influenza and Zika - all pathogens of military importance to the Pentagon.
Along with Southern Research Institute, two other private American companies operate military bio-labs in Ukraine - Black & Veatch and Metabiota.
DTRA contractors Ukraine
Black & Veatch Special Project Corp. was awarded $198.7 million in DTRA contracts to build and operate bio-laboratories in Ukraine (under two 5-year contracts in 2008 and 2012 totaling $128.5 million), as well as in Germany, Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Thailand, Ethiopia, Vietnam and Armenia.
Metabiota has been awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the program in Georgia and Ukraine. This US company was also contracted to perform work for the DTRA before and during the Ebola crisis in West Africa, including $3.1 million (2012-2015) for work in Sierra Leone.
Southern Research Institute has been a prime subcontractor under the DTRA program in Ukraine since 2008. The company was also a prime Pentagon contractor in the past, under the US Biological Weapons Program for research and development of bio-agents, with 16 contracts between 1951 and 1962.

Soviet Defector Produced Anthrax For The Pentagon

Bacillus anthracis, magnified more than 12,000 times
Southern Research Institute was also a subcontractor on a Pentagon program for anthrax research in 2001. The prime contractor being Advanced Biosystems, whose president at that time was Ken Alibek (a former Soviet microbiologist and biological warfare expert from Kazakhstan who defected to the US in 1992).
Ken Alibek
Ken Alibek was the First Deputy Director of Biopreparat, where he oversaw a program for biological weapon facilities and was the Soviet Union's main expert on anthrax. After his defection to the US, he was engaged on Pentagon research projects.
$250,000 For Lobbying Jeff Sessions For "Research For US Intelligence"
Southern Research Institute lobbied the US Congress and US Department of State hard for "issues related to research and development for US intelligence" and "defense related research and development." The lobbying activities coincided with the start of the Pentagon projects on bio-labs | [

For a 10-year period (2006-2016) Southern Research Institute paid $1.28 million for lobbying the US Senate, House of Representatives, the State Department and the Department of Defense (DoD). Senator Jeff Sessions' aide on Capitol Hill, Watson Donald, is now a Senior Director at Southern Research Institute.
Police Investigate Botulism Toxin Poisoning in Ukraine
115 Botulism cases, with 12 deaths, were reported in Ukraine in 2016.
In 2017 the Ukrainian Ministry of Health confirmed a further 90 new cases, with 8 deaths, of botulinum toxin poisoning (one of the most poisonous biological substances known). According to local health authorities, the cause of the outbreak was food poisoning, into which police launched an investigation.
The Ukrainian government stopped supplying antitoxin in 2014 and no botulism vaccines in stock were available during the 2016-2017 outbreak.
Botulism is a rare and extremely dangerous illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
1 gm of The Toxin Can Kill as Many as 1 Million People
botulism scientist
Botulinum neurotoxin poses a major bio-weapon threat because of its extreme potency, ease of production and transport. It causes muscles paralyses, respiratory failure and ultimately death if not treated immediately. A single gram of crystalline toxin, evenly dispersed and inhaled can kill more than one million people. It could be disseminated via aerosol, or by contamination of water and/ or food supplies.
The Pentagon Produces Live Viruses, Bacteria & Toxins
Botulinum Toxin was tested as a bio-weapon by the US Army in the past, as well as Anthrax, Brucella and Tularemia. Although the US bio-weapons program was officially terminated in 1969, documents show that the military experiments never ended. Presently the Pentagon produces and tests live bio-agents at the same military facility as it did in the past - Dugway Proving Ground.

Bioweapons Factory in The US
The US Army produces and tests bio-agents at a special military facility located at Dugway Proving Ground (West Desert Test Center, Utah), as proven in a 2012 US Army Report. The facility is overseen by the Army Test and Evaluation Command.
The Life Sciences Division (LSD) at Dugway Proving Ground is tasked with the production of bio-agents. According to the Army report, scientists from this division produce and test aerosolized bio-agents at Lothar Saloman Life Sciences Test Facility (LSTF).

Aerosol Experiments With Botulinum Neurotoxin And Anthrax
Documents prove that the US Army produces, possesses and tests aerosols of the most lethal toxin in the world - Botulinum Neurotoxin. In 2014 the Department of the Army purchased 100 mg of Botulinum Toxin from Metabiologics for tests at Dugway Proving Ground.
The experiments date back to 2007 when an unspecified quantity of the toxin was procured for the Department of the Army by the same company - Metabiologics. According to the 2012 West Desert Test Center Report, the military facility performs tests with Botulinum Neurotoxin Aerosol, as well as with aerosolized Anthrax, Yersinia pestis, and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEE).

Dissemination on the test grid.
The US Army report lists numerous dissemination techniques, including via bio-aerosol sprayers. Such sprayers, called Micronair disseminators, have already been developed by the US Army and tested at Dugway Proving Ground. According to the documents, they can be vehicle-mounted, or worn as a backpack with a pump system, which can be fitted to the unit to increase the accuracy of the release. Micronair sprayers can release 50 to 500 mL of bio-liquid simulant per minute from 12 L tanks.

The US Stole Bacteria From Saddam Hussein's Bio Weapons Factory
Bacillus thuringiensis is an insect pathogen that is widely used as a bio-pesticide. B. thuringiensis (BT) Al Hakam was collected in Iraq by the UN Special Commission led by the US in 2003. It is named after Al Hakam - Iraq's bio-weapons production facility. Apart from Pentagon field tests, this bacterium is also used in the US for the production of GM corn, which is resistant to pests. Photos posted by the CIA prove that the bacteria was collected by the US in Iraq. According to the CIA, the vials containing bio-pesticide were recovered from an Al Hakam scientist's home.
CIA: A total of 97 vials - including those with labels consistent with the Al Hakam cover stories of single-cell protein and bio-pesticides - as well as strains that could be used to produce BW agents, were recovered from a scientist's residence in Iraq in 2003.

Information from the US federal contracts registry shows that the Pentagon performs tests using the bacteria stolen from Saddam Hussein's bio-weapons factory in Iraq.
DTRA project
© govtribe.com
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) federal project for laboratory analysis and field tests with bacteria.
The tests are performed on Kirtland Air Force Base (Kirtland is the home of the Air Force Materiel Command's Nuclear Weapons Center). Here weapons are being tested, meaning that the field tests with biological simulants (bacteria) also fall into this group.
The DTRA contractor on this project - Lovelace Biomedical and Environmental Research Institute (LBERI) - operates an Animal Bio-safety 3 Level (ABSL-3) laboratory, which has Select Agent status. The facility is designed to conduct bioaerosol studies. The company has been awarded a 5-year | [

Kirtland Air Force Base.
Some of the tests are performed in a wind tunnel.
Field Tests With Biological Simulants (Bacteria)
What the Pentagon is currently doing is exactly what it did in the past, meaning that its bio-weapons program was never terminated. The US Army performed 27 field tests with such biological simulants, involving the public domain from 1949 to 1968, when President Nixon officially announced the end of the program.

Field Tests in Chechnya
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), which runs the US military program at the Lugar Center in Georgia, is alleged to have already performed field tests with an unknown substance in Chechnya, Russia. In the spring of 2017 local citizens reported a drone disseminating white powder close to the Russian border with Georgia. Neither the Georgian border police, nor the US personnel operating on the Georgia-Russia border, commented on this information.
$9.2 Million US Military Project on Russia-Georgia Border
DTRA has full access to the Russia-Georgia border, granted under a military program called 'Georgia Land Border Security Project'. The activities related to the project have been outsourced to a private American company - Parsons Government Services International. DTRA has previously contracted Parsons for similar border security projects in Lebanon, Jordan, Libya and Syria. Parsons have been awarded a $9.2 million contract under the Pentagon border security project on the Russia-Georgia border.

Local citizens in Chechnya noticed a UAV sprayer near the Russian border with Georgia in 2017.
US Defense Agency Tests GM Insects to Transmit GM Viruses
The Pentagon has invested at least $65 million in gene editing. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded 7 research teams to develop tools for genome engineering in insects, rodents and bacteria under DARPA's Safe Gene program, using a novel CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

insect weapon
Under another military program - Insect Allies - GM insects are engineered to transfer modified genes to plants. The $10.3 million DARPA project includes both gene editing in insects and in the viruses that they transmit. Ecological Niche-preference Engineering is a third ongoing military program for genome engineering in insects. The Pentagon's stated objective is to engineer GM organisms so that they can resist certain temperatures, change their habitat and food sources.

Genetically Engineered Humans
Besides gene editing in insects and in the viruses they transmit, the Pentagon wants to engineer humans as well.
DARPA Advanced Tools for Mammalian Genome Engineering Project seeks to create a biological platform inside the human body, using it to deliver new genetic information, and thus altering humans at the DNA level.
DARPA wants to insert an additional 47th artificial chromosome into human cells. This chromosome will deliver new genes that will be used for engineering the human body. SynPloid Biotek LLC has been awarded two contracts under the program totaling $1.1 million (2015-2016 - $100,600 for the first phase of the research; 2015-2017 - $999,300 for work which is not specified in the federal contracts registry). The company has only two employees and no previous record on bio-research.
Top Secret Research on Synthetic Viruses
Between 2008 and 2014, the United States invested approximately $820 million in synthetic biology research, Defense being a major contributor. Much of the military projects on synthetic biology are classified, among them are a number of classified studies by the secretive JASON group of US military advisors - e.g. Emerging Viruses and Genome Editing for the Pentagon, and Synthetic Viruses for the National Counterterrorism Center.

is an independent scientific advisory group that provides consulting services to the U.S. government on matters of defense, science and technology. It was established in 1960 and most of their resulting JASON reports are classified. For administrative purposes, JASON's projects are run by the MITRE Corporation, which has contracts with the Defense Department, CIA and the FBI. Since 2014 MITRE has been awarded some $27.4 million in contracts with the DoD.
Although the JASON Reports are classified, another US Air Force study titled Biotechnology: Genetically Engineered Pathogens, sheds some light on what the secretive JASON group has researched - 5 groups of genetically engineered pathogens that can be used as bio-weapons. These are binary biological weapons (a lethal combination of two viruses), host swapping diseases (animal viruses that 'jump' to humans, like the Ebola virus), stealth viruses, and designer diseases. Designer diseases can be engineered to target a certain ethnic group, meaning that they can be used as ethnic bio-weapons.
Ethnic Bioweapons
Ethnic biological weapon (biogenetic weapon) is a theoretical weapon that aims to primarily harm people of specific ethnicities, or genotypes.
Although officially the research and development of ethnic bio-weapons have never been publicly confirmed, documents show that the US collects biological material from certain ethnic groups - Russians and Chinese.
The US Air Force has been specifically collecting Russian RNA and synovial tissue samples, raising fears in Moscow of a covert US ethnic bio-weapons program.
Synovial tissue
Apart from Russians, the US has been collecting biological material from both healthy and cancer patients in China. The National Cancer Institute has collected biological samples from 300 subjects from Linxian, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu in China. While another federal project, titled 'Serum Metabolic biomarkers discovery study of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in China', includes analysis of 349 serum samples which have been collected from Chinese patients.
Linxian, Zhengzhou
The US National Cancer Institute has been collecting biological material from patients of the Chinese Cancer Hospital in Beijing.
Chinese biological material has been collected under a series of federal projects, including saliva and cancer tissue. Among them, Genotyping DNA Samples from Lymphoma cases and from controls (healthy patients), breast cancer tissue blocks from breast cancer patients, saliva samples of 50 families who have 3 or more cases of UGI cancer, Genotype 50 SNP'S for DNA samples from the Cancer Hospital, Beijing, Genotypes from 3,000 cases of gastric cancer and 3,000 controls (healthy patients) in Beijing.
How The Pentagon Helped Tobacco Companies to Profit From Ebola
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has invested $100 million in vaccine production from tobacco plants.
The companies involved in the project are owned by the biggest American tobacco companies - Mediacago, Inc. is co-owned by Philip Morris and Kentucky BioProcessing is a subsidiary of Reynolds American, which is owned by British American Tobacco. Currently they are producing Flu and Ebola vaccines from tobacco plants.
The $100 million program Blue Angel was launched as a response to the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. Medicago was awarded $21 million to produce 10,000 million doses of an influenza vaccine within one month.
Blue Angel program manager Dr. John Julias explains: "Although there are multiple plant species and other organisms being explored as alternative protein production platforms, the US Government has continued to make an investment in tobacco-based manufacturing."

The plant-based vaccine production method works by isolating a specific antigen protein that triggers a human immune response from the targeted virus. A gene from the protein is transferred to bacteria, which is used to infect plants. The plants then start producing the protein that will be used for vaccinations.
It is not clear why the Pentagon chooses to invest in vaccines | [

produced from tobacco plants, from among all other plant species they explored. Medicago, co-owned by Philip Morris, paid $495,000 for lobbying the Department of Defense, Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services for "funding to advance technology to support public health preparedness applications." The Pentagon funded tobacco companies to develop new technology and to profit from vaccines.
Biological Experiments Are War Crimes
Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) defines biological experiments as war crimes. The US, however, is not a state party to the international treaty, and cannot be held accountable for its war crimes.
Comment: So much for Nixon ending the US deep state's mad science bio-weapons program in 1969.
Many years ago, we noted that Israel has a similar infatuation with finding something that will decimate Arabs and leave The Chosen Ones sole survivors in the Middle East.
The Pentagon's bio-weapon Frankenstein-research is not only alive and well, like NATO, it has metastasized since the collapse of the USSR, spreading into Africa, the Middle East, and on Russia's doorstep.
President Putin noted the uptick in US bio-research focused on 'Russians/Caucasians' last October and, addressing Russia's Human Rights Council, said:
"[...] do you know that biological material is being collected all over the country, from different ethnic groups and people living in different geographical regions of the Russian Federation? The question is - why is it being done? It's being done purposefully and professionally. We are a kind of object of great interest."
Franz Klintsevich, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council's Committee for Defense and Security went on to add this on his Facebook page:
"I'm not saying that it is about preparing a biological war against Russia. But its scenarios, are, no doubt, being worked on. That is to say, in case the need arises."
It may, for now, remain more sci-fi than fact, but the concept of ethnic-specific weapons are clearly uppermost in certain American minds.
What do they think is going to happen if they unleash some kind of bio-weapon pandemic that ostensibly targets 'only Russians'?
It apparently hasn't yet dawned on them that most Caucasians are of mixed descent/genotype.
Any such 'country-specific targeting' would lay waste to the American population too.
(By the way, we have a fair idea why they're interested in tobacco.)

Coronavirus: Upward Trajectory or Flattened Curve?
https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/21112/covid-19-growth-curve-selecte d-countries/
by Katharina Buchholz ,
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic
As the coronavirus spreads rapidly around the world, case growth trajectories have started to differ between countries. According to numbers by Johns Hopkins collected by the website Worldometers, case counts in the U.S. and Spain have been growing faster recently. Both countries recorded 100+ cases for the first time on March 2. In the case of the U.S., officials have said that ramped-up testing has caused known case numbers to balloon since Saturday.
Italy, where there are currently more than 60,000 cases and public life has shut down, hit 100 cases on February 23, eight days earlier than the U.S. and Spain. France and Germany hit 100 cases or more on February 29 and March 1, respectively. Case numbers in | [

the two countries appear to grow slower, but again, different testing regimen might obscure real case numbers.
The UK, which has less than 7,000 registered cases to date, also appears to be on a flatter trajectory, even though time will tell if those numbers tell the whole story.
The countries' collective aim is to "flatten the curve" of infections. While South Korea was able to stabilize its outbreak at around 9,000 cases - due to widespread free testing (including the now infamous drive-thru testing), quarantine measures and the harnessing of mobile technology for public information - China has stabilized theirs at around 80,000 cases. South Korea hit 100 cases on February 20 and managed to leave the steep upward trajectory around 14 days later. In the case of China, more than 100 cases were first recorded on January 20, and quarantine and testing measure succeeded in breaking the upwards trajectory by February 12 - around three and a half weeks later.

As responsible technologists, we call upon the NHSX leadership and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to ensure new technologies used in the suppression of Coronavirus follow ethical best practice
Global map showing the spread of Coronavirus in shades of redGlobal map showing the spread of Coronavirus in shades of red
By Raphaël Dunant — Own work, data from 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, List of countries and dependencies by population and Coronavirus map: The COVID-19 virus is spreading across the world, CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=88208245
During this global emergency, technology and data-driven decisions have a vital role in saving lives by delivering essential information, building communities and managing capacity across the NHS. But they are not a magic bullet to solve unsolvable problems. As Yuval Noah Harari says in the Financial Times this weekend, "We must act quickly and decisively. We should also take into account the long-term consequences of our actions."
The imperative to innovate quickly, and the immense pressure being placed on teams within the NHS and NHSX to deliver at speed must not lead to ethical corners being cut that will undermine trust in the NHS.
As responsible technologists, we call upon NHSX leadership and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to urgently:
Institute a culture of working in the open, with clear, regular public communication about projects being undertaken and the publication of machine readable data and models — to build trust and minimise speculation
Introduce bold emergency governance measures, including privacy and rights impact assessments and the drafting of an expert governance panel, with public and patient participation, to ensure innovation works and is held to account
Develop collective mechanisms for social license, to balance the needs of individuals and the benefit to society, ensuring the communities and groups affected by data collection have a say, and publish clear terms and conditions for any new applications, following in the footsteps of the Singapore government app | [

TraceTogether.
Any technology initiatives put in place now to suppress Coronavirus must protect human rights, be proportionate and work within the rule of law — not least because they will set the template for what comes next in the delivery of health services in the UK.
This is vital because we understand that NHSX are looking at app-based solutions for tracking and managing Coronavirus.
Contact tracking has been a successful factor in suppressing Coronavirus in South Korea, but those technologies and the South Korean social and political context cannot be reproduced in the UK.* Information published by Oxford BDI and SAGE indicates that any digital contact-tracking app will instantly trace (and perhaps identify) individuals who are exposed to someone who has tested positive to Coronavirus.
There is little detail in the public domain about who will build the app, how it will work, how its effectiveness will be monitored and who will provide oversight over its proportionality and compliance with fundamental rights. It is unclear how data will be collected and processed, whether there are strict legal limitations on the purposes for which this data can be used now and in the future, how and where it will be stored, for how long, and who will have access to this data, either now or in the future.
Additionally, mobile phone data from O2, EE and BT is already being used to understand the movement of people; information about this is coming to light in a piecemeal and ad hoc way and it is unclear what this data is and who has access to it. Part 3, section 61A of the Investigatory Powers Act enables people with symptoms or a diagnosis of Coronavirus to be tracked without notice, and it is unclear if the UK government is following the practices developed during the Ebola crisis.**
At the same time, the Coronavirus Bill gives immigration officers and police the power to detain people if they have "reasonable grounds to suspect … a person is infectious". The combination of this new bill with existing far-reaching data-gathering powers creates the risk that location and contact tracking technology could be used as a means of social control.
Too much, too late
Contact tracking is unlikely to be effective in a country where not everyone has a mobile phone, and where many people live in shared accommodation — not everyone who carries the virus can or will be tracked, and cell recognition is not good enough to differentiate between people who, for instance, live in a single block of flats. Not only does this kind of surveillance risk contravening human rights, but it is not guaranteed to work — particularly at this stage of the Coronavirus outbreak.
In the UK, OFCOM figures show that 22% of UK adults do not have a smartphone, rising to 45% of adults over 55, and figures on device ownership for young children vary wildly. Relying on this data exclusively risks reinforcing existing inequalities, especially if it could be used to establish reasonable or reliable grounds for a person to be detained.
It is not yet clear how data will be collected, or used, within the legal framework. Nor what technical safeguards will be used. We are also concerned that data collected to fight Coronavirus could be stored indefinitely or for a disproportionate amount of time, or will be used for unrelated purposes.
Testing times, do not call for untested new technologies.
These are testing times, but they do not call for untested new technologies. Ethical data-driven decision-making requires good governance, transparency and willingness to course correct. We ask that the CEO of NHSX and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care prioritise putting the best practices outlined here at the heart of how new technologies are delivered by NHSX, for the good of everyone in the United Kingdom.

Coronavirus monitoring poses dangers for civil liberties
The monitoring bracelets the Hong Kong authorities hand out to everyone arriving from abroad to ensure they observe a 14-day quarantine highlight the inventive measures some governments are adopting to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
The lightweight bracelets carry a QR code that must be paired with a smartphone app. The strength of surrounding communications signals — such as WiFi and Bluetooth — can help determine whether or not the wearer observes self-isolation. The move is a sensible precaution to counter the coronavirus pandemic and protect the public. But it is not hard to imagine how that same technology could be used for very different purposes.
Suppose, for sake of argument, the Hong Kong authorities forced all residents to wear such bracelets. That might help the medical authorities trace those who had been in contact with an infected person, as they have successfully been doing in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. But it may also allow them to identify all those who join anti-government protests that have been roiling Hong Kong in the past few months.
Technological tools can be of immense use in helping to combat this pandemic, but only if they are not abused. In democratic societies, at least, the prime goal of government should be to persuade rather than coerce its citizens. The further erosion of societal trust should not be an unintended casualty of this healthcare crisis.
That lesson applies more broadly to emergency legislation, too. Take the coronavirus bill being considered by the British parliament. Although the government has been criticised for not being interventionist enough, this bill will give it extraordinary new powers to combat the pandemic, from banning public meetings to shutting down airports.
International law includes access to healthcare as a core human right and accepts that temporary restrictions of other rights can be justified in emergencies. Few would disagree, but it is a question of degree.
In Britain, the joint parliamentary committee on human rights has highlighted several areas in which the draft bill threatens to suspend or curtail fundamental rights, including the right to meet, travel, go to school or work, and visit sick relatives in hospital or prison. Even the Police Federation has questioned the wisdom of new powers to detain anyone suspected of being infectious. That risks turning patients into prisoners | [

There are two other main concerns about the British legislation. First, the sunset clause in the bill is too loose. When it comes to security legislation, few laws have proved as permanent as the temporary. For example, temporary measures to deal with the threat of the IRA in 1939 remained on the statute book for decades.
Parliament must insist on fully restoring the hard-won rights of citizens once this particular crisis has passed. "We need an absolute, brick-wall stop on this legislation at 12 months,� David Davis, the Tory former Brexit minister, has said.
The second concern is the danger of mission creep. Measures passed for one purpose often end up being used for others, as we saw in the aftermath of 9/11. In 2008, the British government used antiterrorism powers to help recover money owed to UK depositors from failing Icelandic banks.
Such concerns are becoming more acute as we enter a world of pervasive biometric data. In an open letter, some of Britain's leading data scientists have already warned of the dangers of the National Health Service rushing to introduce data-tracking apps that infringe users' rights. "These are testing times, but they do not call for untested new technologies,� they wrote.
Sylvie Delacroix, a law professor at the University of Birmingham, says there is a clear risk that the healthcare crisis extends the use of intrusive surveillance technologies. But perhaps the greater risk is that public trust will be so eroded by rash measures taken today that it will make it harder to deploy safe and beneficial technologies tomorrow.
"My main worry is that we are going into this blind,� Prof Delacroix says. "We do not know how such data is going to be used or who is going to safeguard it. It demands a huge amount of trust that we have no reason to give.�
She argues that more trustworthy data governance regimes are needed to preserve public trust and enable us to maximise the benefits of technology. "It is one thing to highlight the dangers, another to highlight the missed opportunities,� she says.
In emergencies, it is always tempting for security officials to argue that the ends justify the means, but such logic is often self-defeating. As the writer Aldous Huxley once said: "The end cannot justify the means, for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced.�
Of course, we want democratic governments to take every necessary measure to counter the coronavirus crisis. And we should recognise the dangers of inaction, as well as of action. But ultimately we will all lose if governments push their mandate too far and undermine the consent of the governed.

Let's take a look at some real life scenario's.
The Black economy .. you need a (legitimate) essential reason to go out ..
What the government actually deems to be essential will come out in later versions of the marshall law which is currently be applied in stages ..
So let's look at the "Black Economy" two of the main sectors are prostitution and drugs, selling stolen property or goods that have been imported illegally could also be included but I think most people will be happy to see people involved in these sectors .. closed down.
People that sell animal feed, heating fuels will surely be considered essential suppliers will remain open and people will be allowed to visit them.
But Supermarkets and food stores are is probably going to be the places that people frequent the most.
So presumably if prostitutes want to continue there business they will have operate from Supermarket car parks, perhaps in camper vans or other suitable vehicles .. I guess they will adapt to the circumstances.
A hell of a lot of people use drugs in the UK so drug dealers will also have to adapt, they might well start hanging out around supermarkets .. most of the other shops will be closed.
Chemists already sell their own drugs ..it is unlikely they will come to some kind of an agreement with the dealers Supermarkets. mini markets. bakers and grocery stores will come to the fore.
Of course there are usually tons of CC TV camera's around Supermarkets and indeed in the main thoroughfares .. So the cops will be able to sit | [

back and watch the action.. but as everyone is and will be wearing masks ..this also becomes a bit tricky .
The illegal drugs market is worth billions each year and apart from the actual crime of possession and or dealing drugs there is a multitude of other drug related crime ..many of which lead to murder.
So if the dealers do relocate to the supermarkets they will bring their drug related crimes with them.
As the dealers are often gang members ,, supermarkets will become trouble hot spots.
The government will respond with tougher measures . There will be sniffer dogs at the entrance of most shops and you will probably have to show ID to get in and out and prove that you have either cash or credit, and that you have bought and paid for shopping .
I would think that very soon they will invent a device that reads any kind of digital ID .. Passport, driving license even an Oyster card hooked up to a camera with facial recognition .. as a prelude to a micro chip which will come in with later modification of the emergency measures ..

From London Polish communities
Hmmm .. Interesting analysis, I copy:
WHAT CHINA ACHIEVED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS:
1. China has successfully prepared itself for a new generation war - biological. They conducted exercises demonstrating to the world their master class in this field and the helplessness of opponents.
2. Conducted a census. Fast and efficient.
3. The digital dictatorship was sharpened. They control social networks and all communications.
4. A system was created to quickly identify all social networks of the desired person: who is in contact with him, with whom he drove the car, where she was, with whom he communicated.
5. All illegal immigrants were identified and many were expelled from the country
6. Many foreigners were expelled in a mild manner. They also tried to evacuate themselves. Others were identified and controlled.
7. A mechanism for mass and rapid blocking of the entire country was developed.
8. Demonstrate to the whole world what China can do. Placing 1.5 billion people in full quarantine, applying masks to everyone - it's a great feat, as well as building a huge hospital in a week.
9. The whole country has been taught how to care for hygiene.
10. A law was passed prohibiting the consumption of wild meat, which is the norm in many provinces.
10. It was shown to the world how dependent it is on China.
11. Production chain links around the world have been frozen, causing a global crisis.
12. The use of drones and automatic tracking devices is massively introduced in police and response services.
13. The implementation of mass thermography systems with automatic identification of anomaly data has been developed.
14. The algorithms of video cameras for face recognition have been updated for mask wearers; currently, the way people move is also recognized in recognizing people.
15. Automated goods delivery systems are created on an operational scale on a massive scale.
16. An electronic concentration camp system was developed.
17. Protests in Hong Kong ceased and the influence of the Chinese government increased.
18. Most important.
As the world continues to plunge into crisis, China has emerged from it and is ready:
- buy cheap assets,
- help financially weak countries, increasing their global influence in return
- play at lower oil prices.
China accuses US Army of bringing coronavirus to Wuhan

A ward for coronavirus patients in China
Where did the coronavirus begin? China or the United States? Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian has sparked a new coronavirus controversy, when he suggested that the US army might have brought the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to Wuhan, the city where the virus was first detected in the country.
Zhao made the accusation in several tweets on Thursday, following the admission to US Congress by director of the US' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, that some Americans who seemingly died from influen | [

"When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!" Zhao tweeted.
In October 2019, some US soldiers took part in a military championship games in Wuhan.
Robert R. Redfield, Director of US Centers for Disease Control at the US Congress on Wednesday
The US president, Donald Trump in a broadcast on Wednesday described coronavirus as 'a foreign virus'.
The coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, in late December. It was said to have been passed on to man by an animal in a Chinese sea food market.
China has the most of confirmed cases – over 80,900, including over 3,000 deaths.
As of now, the peak of the epidemic in China is over, with the country registering no new cases in any city of Hubei province, except Wuhan, over the past week.
Yet, the outbreak is ramping up across other countries of the world, in Italy, South Korea, Japan, United States, Germany with the World Health Organization now calling it a pandemic.
Zhao ramped up his accusation against the United States today, by quoting an article by Global Research that he claimed confirmed that coronavirus started in the US.
Here is an excerpt from the report:
The Taiwanese physician noted that in August of 2019 the US had a flurry of lung pneumonias or similar, which the Americans blamed on 'vaping' from e-cigarettes, but which, according to the scientist, the symptoms and conditions could not be explained by e-cigarettes. He said he wrote to the US officials telling them he suspected those deaths were likely due to the coronavirus. He claims his warnings were ignored.
Immediately prior to that, the CDC totally shut down the US Military's main bio-lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland, due to an absence of safeguards against pathogen leakages, issuing a complete "cease and desist" order to the military. It was immediately after this event that the 'e-cigarette' epidemic arose.
We also had the Japanese citizens infected in September of 2019, in Hawaii, people who had never been to China, these infections occurring on US soil long before the outbreak in Wuhan but only shortly after the locking down of Fort Detrick.
Then, on Chinese social media, another article appeared, aware of the above but presenting further details. It stated in part that five "foreign" athletes or other personnel visiting Wuhan for the World Military Games (October 18-27, 2019) were hospitalised in Wuhan for an undetermined infection.
The article explains more clearly that the Wuhan version of the virus could have come only from the US because it is what they call a "branch" which could not have been created first because it would have no 'seed'. It would have to have been a new variety spun off the original 'trunk', and that trunk exists only in the US. (1)
There has been much public speculation that the coronavirus had been deliberately transmitted to China but, according to the Chinese article, a less sinister alternative is possible.
If some members of the US team at the World Military Games (18-27 October) had become infected by the virus from an accidental outbreak at Fort Detrick it is possible that, with a long initial incubation period, their symptoms might have been minor, and those individuals could easily have 'toured' the city of Wuhan during their stay, infecting potentially thousands of local residents in various locations, many of whom would later travel to the seafood market from which the virus would spread like wildfire (as it did).
That would account also for the practical impossibility of locating the legendary "patient zero" – which in this case has never been found since there would have been many of them.
Next, Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease expert at Georgetown University in Washington, said in an article in Science magazine that the first human infection has been confirmed as occurring in November 2019, (not in Wuhan), suggesting the virus originated elsewhere and then spread to the seafood markets | [

The BBC has announced its plans to scale back its news output amid the deadly spread of coronavirus.
Revealing it's to focus on 'core' output, the Beeb will be replacing some scheduled programmes across its channels, with the broadcaster's director of news Fran Unsworth saying that these are 'unprecedented and difficult days'.
The broadcaster will be operating what it's calling a 'core news service' on the BBC News Channel, which will see some scheduled programming, including Politics Live and Victoria Derbyshire, sidelined.

Meanwhile, The Andrew Neil Show, Newswatch, The Travel Show and Hardtalk are being suspended.
Newsnight and The Andrew Marr Show will remain on air, however they will be operated by fewer technical staff on the ground.
Political staple Question Time will continue to be broadcast at 8pm on Thursdays, but will be recorded without a studio audience 'for a period'.

Audiences will instead be asked to remotely submit their questions for guests to answer.
Not just affecting the TV programming, BBC's Newscast podcast will change into a daily edition of The Coronavirus Podcast, while Americast, Beyond Today and The Next Episode will be suspended.
Speaking on the changes being made to the broadcaster, Unsworth added: 'Trusted, accurate information is vital in a public health emergency and the BBC has a key role to play.
'We will continue offering our audience continuous news service on TV, radio and online but this will look a bit different in the weeks ahead.
'Like many organisations we are unable to have all our staff on site due to the coronavirus outbreak.
'We are therefore making some changes to what we do to streamline our output to ensure we can work with fewer people and protect the staff who are at work.'
The BBC said that when it comes to radio, it believed it can 'protect much of our regular, trusted output at this point', but added it was 'keeping the situation under close review and will be making some initial changes'

On World Service English, The World This Week will be suspended from tomorrow, while World Update and Weekend will be suspended from next week. BBC Radio 4's The Week In Westminster will be suspended after 21 March.
As more people began to work from home, as countless other remained in self-isolation since the deadly spread of Covid-19, the broadcaster said it had seen 'unprecedented' use of the digital platforms over the last few weeks, adding: 'We will be making some changes to the way our teams are organised to sustain these vital services – and to ensure we can distribute important information via social media.'

How lethal is Covid-19 REALLY? Why massive fatality rates from Italy are MISLEADING
25 Mar, 2020 19:44 / Updated 9 hours ago
© Reuters / Pool
By Peter Andrews, Irish science journalist and writer, based in London. He has a background in the life sciences, and graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in genetics
In Italy, the proportion of infected people dying from the novel coronavirus — 10 percent according to the latest figures — seems through the roof. Unsurprisingly, there is more to this terrifying figure than meets the eye.
You do not need to be an expert to calculate the mortality rate. It is one number divided by another — the number of people who have died from the virus divided by the total number of confirmed cases. In the case of Italy, 7,503 dead divided by 74,386 infected gives a mortality rate of roughly 10 percent. But that does not mean that one in ten people who contract the virus will die, despite what the scaremongering media would have you believe.
The first reason why is that the first, smaller number — the number of deaths from Covid-19 — is impossible to underestimate. People are either alive or dead, and usually as soon as a person dies they will quickly find their way into the national statistics.
But the larger number, the confirmed cases, must by definition be an underestimate. It would be impossible for every person in a country positive for the coronavirus to have been already tested and added to the confirmed cases. The virus can be dormant in people for up to two weeks, and young people can experience very mild or even no symptoms at all, and still be positive for the virus. Since that figure is by definition too low, the mortality rates being reported are by definition too high.
Not enough rooms in hospitals, 'many can't make it and die at home', says mayor at epicenter of Covid-19 outbreak in Italy
Failing to test
Another factor is that governments are being pushed well beyond their capabilities for mass testing and contact tracing, some more than others. With typical efficiency, Germany is on top of their testing situation, and as such have picked up many milder cases. Therefore they have a high number of confirmed cases relative to the true number of infected people in Germany.
This is keeping the mortality rate in Germany down at 0.5 percent, baffling experts who are expecting apocalyptic scenes at the hospitals, the likes of which have so far only materialized in Italy. Perhaps the cases will soon mount up in Germany, and their mortality rate will climb toward the four or five percent that seems to be the European average. But due to the asymptomatic people (a majority according to the best research) even that is an exaggeratedly high rate.
Apply this principle to Italy, whose civil protection chief Angelo Borrelli told La Repubblica newspaper on Monday that "It is credible to estimate that there are 10 positive cases for every one officially reported." If this were true, and as many as 640,000 people are infected in Italy, their actual mortality rate would in a stroke become one percent instead of ten percent. The scale of the problem begins to look quite different in that context.
Yet another reason for Italy's inflated mortality rate is how deaths are being recorded there. Professor Walter Ricciardi, an adviser to the Italian minister of health, told the Telegraph on Monday that "the way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.''
A thought experiment may elucidate this. Imagine that one thousand people, all over the age of 75, died in hospitals in northern Italy last week. All of them had tested positive for the coronavirus at some point during the past few weeks.
The vast majority of Covid-19 fatalities, 99 percent according to Italian research, have had a pre-morbidity, if not two or three. These are underlying health issues,like heart disease, cancer or various infections. Some might have been comatose, with life support machines and artificial breathing the only thing keeping them alive anyway.
Eventually, their bodies gave out, and they simply could not fight on any longer. But does that mean that in the absence of the coronavirus, those | [

one thousand people would still be alive? In other words, is it really true to say that all of these people died of Covid-19? But amidst this crisis, when health systems and governments have tunnel vision for this one ailment, all one thousand are chalked off as victims of the plague.
More spanners in the works
A recent article in the Guardian wrestling with Germany's apparently too-low mortality rate concludes that because they are not conducting widespread testing of dead bodies for the coronavirus people could be dropping dead inside their own homes of Covid-19 and going unrecorded. This seems unlikely to be much of a factor, but there may be other reasons why Italy has so far been an outlier in coronavirus casualties.
'Failed liberalism left us without masks': Covid-19 crisis exposed Western liberal democracy, brought back ideals of 'sovereignty'
Many have pointed to Italy's elderly population as the catch-all reason for their unnaturally high death rates. But that idea is a non-starter. Germany has the next oldest population in Europe, and Germans are not as healthy as Italians (who live long lives precisely because they are healthy), and yet Germany has the lowest death rate of the ten worst affected countries. Age cannot explain away the disparity.
Another factor is doubtless the unpreparedness of Italy's health system, and the dearth of beds and equipment that is now spawning rumors about doctors being forced to jettison some patients to make room for others. Germany is better equipped, but may not have been put to the test yet, as the virus is yet to explode there as it has in northern Italy.
Crisis around the corner?
Experts are still saying that the reason for all of these disparities is simply that some countries are further along the epidemic curve than others. This could explain why so many more have died in China and Italy and so few in Germany and the UK, for example, but it cannot explain the wild fluctuations in the mortality rates.
None of this is meant to take away from the severity of the crisis in Italy, or that which may be just around the corner for the rest of the world. But the key point to take away from this is that the 10 percent mortality rate being reported from Italy is grossly misleading. It is being waved around by the mainstream media as a bit of old-fashioned sensationalism at best, and a calculated tool of propaganda at worst. A figure like 0.3 percent - barely higher than the common flu - simply does not have the same power in getting people to swallow unprecedented legislation that gives the state tremendous new powers in a host of new areas... all in the name of public health of course.

Decadent like the late Roman Empire, the West is committing suicide through its irrational response to Covid-19

By Dr. Luboš Motl, Czech theoretical physicist, who was an assistant professor at Harvard University from 2004 to 2007. He writes a science and politics blog called The Reference Frame
Many think Covid-19 is some kind of alien invasion that spells the end of the world. But the real threat to us is a much deadlier virus: a hatred of all the values that have underpinned our civilisation for centuries.
For years, I was puzzled as to why the Roman Empire ceased to exist and was replaced by communities that were uncivilized by comparison. How and why could mankind's progress reverse in this way? Recent experience has eliminated the mystery. No special devastating event was needed; the cause of Rome's demise was simply the loss of its people's desire to support their 'empire' and its underlying values. And as it was 1,500 years or so ago | [

, so I fear it is now.
The Covid-19 crisis – specifically, the reaction to it – demonstrates that people have grown bored, detached, and easily impressionable by things that have nothing to do with the roots of their society. We are all – or too many of us – fin de siècle Romans now.
A large number of Westerners are happy to accept the suicidal shutting down of their economies to try to halt a virus that predominantly causes old and sick people to die just a few weeks or months before they would have anyway. Just as they enthusiastically endorse proclamations such as that there are 46 sexes, not two; that the flatulence of a cow must be reduced to save a polar bear; that millions of migrants from the Third World must be invited to Europe and assumed to be neurosurgeons; and so on.
The widespread opinion that everything, including economies, must be sacrificed to beat coronavirus is a revival of medieval witch hunts; the sacrifice seems more important than finding an effective method to deal with the problem.
Recession is here! World economy facing great uncertainty ahead, S&P saysRecession is here! World economy facing great uncertainty ahead, S&P says
Our increasingly decadent mass culture has gradually become more ideological and openly opposed to the values Western civilization is based upon. And while it boasts of being 'counter-culture' and independent, it's acquired a monopoly over almost all the information channels that determine opinions, including mainstream media and political parties.
Our leaders have become sucked into this group-thinking and happily institute policies that unleash shutdowns that may cause the worst recession in history. Thousands of businesses are closing and long-term prospects are bleak.
Governments are stepping in to pay wages and fund other services. As tax revenue will be virtually non-existent, public debt will soar. Some governments may default on their debts or resort to printing money, causing soaring inflation. These countries may be unable to fund healthcare, their police or their military, and be so weakened they will be invaded by others and be erased from the world map.
That may be a worst-case scenario, but it's almost certain that the impact of the shutdowns will be a recession comparable to the Great Depression. Yet what do most Western citizens make of it? Well, they are either unaware, uncaring, or they're happy about it. They don't seem to appreciate the consequent dangers. Instead, they are more obsessed with the latest celebrity who's caught the virus.
The consumers of this mass culture haven't built anything like what our ancestors did – enlightenment, the theory of relativity, parliamentary democracy, industrialisation, major advances in philosophy, science, literature and engineering. They don't have to defend any real values against a tangible enemy, because hiding in a herd with uniform group-think is good enough for them.
Our ancestors had difficult, short lives; they had to work hard, produce enough to survive, fight enemies, and defend what they'd inherited. Numerous lasting values emerged from those efforts. The current generations of Westerners are good only at producing and escalating irrationality and panic.
George Galloway: Capitalism is one virus away from existential disaster, and only its victims' money can save it
If a two-month lockdown isn't deemed enough to contain the virus, they're happy to extend it to six months, if not years. China decided to impose strict policies, but they were assertive enough to be relatively short-lived; many Westerners want less perfect policies to last for a much longer time. That's clearly an irrational approach; instead of 'flattening a curve', rational leaders (like Beijing's) try to turn the curve into a cliff. The faster you eliminate the virus, the cheaper it is.
Immortality as an entitlement
This support for economically suicidal policies didn't start with Covid-19. Westerners have spent recent decades amid a prosperity in which they took material wealth and good healthcare for granted. They forgot what hunger (and, in most cases, unemployment) meant. They got used to demanding ever deeper 'entitlements', such as the 'right not to be offended'.

them. In particular, the climate change movement advocated that the 1-2 °C of warming caused by CO2 emissions in a century was equivalent to an armageddon that had to be avoided, whatever the cost.
In this context, it could be expected that the first 'real challenge' – and a new flu-like disease is certainly one – would make people fearful. Because if people were led to believe that 1-2 °C of warming was basically the end of the world, is it surprising that they're absolutely terrified of a new disease that has the potential to kill a few million old and sick people?
The existential threat posed by coronavirus – or at least, our irrationality towards it – is greater than the climate threat (though still very small). Westerners who haven't seen any real threats for a long time have developed a condition – termed "affluenflammation" by the American musician Remy – which is a pathological habit of inflating negligible threats. When this inflation of feelings is applied to a real threat, namely a pandemic, they lose their composure.
Suicides from depression will be 'FAR GREATER' than coronavirus deaths unless America reopens for business 'soon' – Trump
The context of Covid-19, where every death is presented with horror, makes it clear that 'immortality' is just another 'human right'. This wisdom says that our leaders are failing because they cannot defend this so-called right. But this excessive sensitivity is just one part of the problem.
Many Westerners actively want to harm their economies, corporations, rich people, and governments, because they don't feel any attachment to or responsibility for them. They take security and prosperity for granted. Their money and food arrive from 'somewhere', and they don't care about the source.
And they believe that the structures which allow them to survive – the governments, banks, and so on – are 'evil'. Some are just financially illiterate. But others know what they are saying, and rejoice in demanding that trillions be sacrificed in order to infinitesimally increase the probability that a 90-year-old will avoid infection and live a little bit longer. They don't accept their dependence on society and the system at all. They don't realise that their moral values, their 'human rights', are only available if paid for by prosperous societies.
I have used some dramatic prose, so let me be clear: the scenario I've outlined – ending in the suicide of the West – is avoidable, and I hope and believe it will be. I know some who are willing to fight for its survival.
But even if this acceleration towards shutdowns is reversed and countries restore their pre-virus businesses, our world won't be the same. Many people will conclude that the crisis was exciting, and try to kickstart a repetition. The curfew is likely to reduce CO2 emissions this year, so climate activists may try for similar results in the future. Terrorists may deploy some new disease – which, after all, is likely to be more effective than any stabbing or bombing.
It's conceivable that the West's brush with mortality will lead people to regain some common sense and survival instincts. Perhaps several nations going bankrupt will be a wake-up call. Maybe people will realise that the reaction to the coronavirus was disproportionate. But even if that is so, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
We need to accept that the positive relationship of Westerners to the roots of their civilization will be still missing – and that this is a virus that poses a much more fundamental existential threat than Covid-19.
Bill Gates will use microchip implants to fight coronavirus
https://biohackinfo.com/news-bill-gates-id2020-vaccine-implant-covid-1 9-digital-certificates/

4 year old tech mogul and currently the second richest person in the world, revealed this yesterday during a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session while answering questions on the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic.
Gates was responding to a question on how businesses will be able to operate while maintaining social distancing, and said that, "Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it."
The 'digital certificates' Gates was referring to are human-implantable 'QUANTUM-DOT TATTOOS' that researchers at MIT and Rice University are working on as a way to hold vaccination records. It was last year in December when scientists from the two universities revealed that they were working on these quantum-dot tattoos after Bill Gates approached them about solving the problem of identifying those who have not been vaccinated.
The quantum-dot tattoos involve applying dissolvable sugar-based microneedles that contain a vaccine and fluorescent copper-based 'quantum dots' embedded inside biocompatible, micron-scale capsules. After the microneedes dissolve under the skin, they leave the encapsulated quantum dots whose patterns can be read to identify the vaccine that was administered.
The quantum-dot tattoos will likely be supplemented with Bill Gates' other undertaking called ID2020, which is an ambitious project by Microsoft to solve the problem of over 1 billion people who live without an officially recognized identity. ID2020 is solving this through digital identity. Currently, the most feasible way of implementing digital identity is either through smartphones or RFID microchip implants. The latter will be Gates's likely approach not only because of feasibility and sustainability, but also because for over 6 years, the Gates Foundation has been funding another project that incorporates human-implantable microchip implants. This project, also spearheaded by MIT, is a birth control microchip implant that will allow women to control contraceptive hormones in their bodies.
As for ID2020, to see it through, Microsoft has formed an alliance with four other companies, namely; Accenture, IDEO, Gavi, and the Rockefeller Foundation. The project is supported by the United Nations and has been incorporated into the UN's Sustainable Development Goals initiative.
It will be interesting to see how Bill Gates and ID2020 will execute all this because many Christians, and surprisingly a growing number of Shia Muslims, are very opposed to the idea of microchipping and any form of body-invasive identification technology. Some Christian legislators and politicians in the United States have even tried to ban all forms of human microchipping.
But, on the other hand, this is Bill Gates' perfect opportunity to see the projects through because as the coronavirus continues to spread and more people continue to die from the pandemic, the public at large is becoming more open to problem-solving technologies that will contain the spread of the virus.
The main reason many Christians and some Shia Muslims are opposed to body-invasive identification technologies, however helpful such technologies are for preventing pandemics, is because they believe that such technologies are the so called 'Mark of Satan' mentioned in the Bible and some Mahdi prophecies. In the Book of Revelations in the Bible, anyone who does not have this "mark" is not allowed to buy or sell anything.
Last year in November, a Denmark-based tech company which had contracts to produce microchip implants for the Danish Government and the US Navy, had to cancel the launch of its supposedly "revolutionary" Internet-of-Things powered microchip implant after Christian activists attacked its offices in Copenhagen.

To everyone freaking out in the comments, Please, this has nothing to do with your conspiracy theories! This is clearly one solution to pandemics. A solution with many other applications that could improve the lives of billions and pull them out of the misery and suffering that your conspiracy theories and superstitions have never been able to solve. It is mind boggling how in the 21st century, all of you – who have access to technology and clearly know how to use it, are recklessly coming to your crazed superstitious conclusions about simple | [

If everyone was a bit more like Bill Gates, then we would be practicing eugenics and want at least half the world population gone. This event has been planned for some time and Gates has been in on it. They didn't get the results they hoped for with SARS, Avian or Swine Flu, so now they are hoping with this latest virus that they will wreak enough economic havoc and cause significant fear that people will be begging for a vaccine and 'digital certificate'. On November 20, 2018, a patent was lodged with the United States Patent and Trademark Office… Read more »

Visitors will be urged to reconsider spending time in picturesque but impoverished communities at great risk from Covid-19

The East Cape of New Zealand's North Island is a remote and picture-postcard idyll – boasting a historic lighthouse, wild beaches and mist-cloaked mountains. But as the country prepares to lockdown for four weeks of national self-isolation to fight the spread of Covid-19, indigenous groups in the region say the measures will not go far enough to keep them safe and plan checkpoints on highways into their towns to turn away anyone who doesn't live or work there.
"Our people are scared," says Tina Ngata, one of the organisers of the checkpoint to be set up outside the town of Te Araroa; another will spring up outside Ruatoria with more planned further up the coast. "We want to minimise people coming to the region."
New Zealand has 102 cases of the virus, with no reported deaths. But Jacinda Ardern, the prime minister, announced on Monday that she would raise the country's alert level to four, the highest possible, from Wednesday night in a preemptive effort to prevent thousands from dying.
'Kiwis – go home': New Zealand to go into month-long lockdown to fight coronavirus
But Ngata and others worry that people of Ngāti Porou – her Māori iwi, or tribe – will fare much worse than the general population, even with the new restrictions.
After more than a century of colonisation, Māori in New Zealand suffer much worse health outcomes than Pākehā –New Zealanders of European descent – and for Ngāti Porou, the figures are even worse.
"We are far more prone to chronic illnesses like diabetes, renal disease and heart disease, and we have more people with cancer than the rest of the population, we have more people with chronic respiratory illnesses," Ngata says. "Basically all the illnesses that feature in the chronic Covid-19 descriptors feature really highly in our population."

Coronavirus prepared at the bio-weapons laboratory in the US
https://www.ednews.net/en/news/politics/421822-coronavirus-prepared-at -the-bio-weapons-laboratory-in-the-us
The SARS-CoV-2 virus may have originated at the Fort Detrick lab, escaped into the wild due to lax safety precautions and infected military personnel at the base.
US expert Dennis Etler shared his views with Eurasia Diary regarding the spread of Coronavirus-COVID-19 in the world as well as the role of the United States in the origination of this terrible disease.
"Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has raised the question as to whether the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) actually originated in the US, not China. His suggestion has raised hackles in the US media and government. Zhao, however, has not accused Washington of launching a bio-weapon attack against China, he has just raised some pertinent questions that need to be answered.
Using a contagious virus as a bio-weapon makes no strategic sense. It would and obviously did backfire if the intent was to derail China's economy. In the long-run it will do the exact opposite, it will ruin the Western economies and strengthen China's economy. The modelers in the "deep state" would surely understand this. The logic of launching a viral attack creating a pandemic thus doesn't make much strategic sense.
But there is countervailing evidence that the virus itself had its origins outside of China;
1) In August 2019 the bio-weapons lab at Fort Detrick was shut down because of safety concerns. One of the special agents being researched there was the SARS-CoV coronavirus. It seems that waste water from the plant was contaminated. So, there is a potential source for a SARS-CoV coronavirus (the COVID-19 virus is SARS-CoV-2) that may have escaped into the wild and infected military personnel.
2) Soon thereafter, in October 2019, US military personnel participated in the International Military Games held in Wuhan. It is feasible that some of the roughly 300 US military participating in the games may have been infected with the virus.
3) Genetic evidence shows that the ancestral form of the virus is not found in China but has been found in the USA and Europe.
4) Reports indicate that US military stationed in Afghanistan have had COVID-19-like symptoms but have not been tested for it, suggeting that early carriers of the virus may have mistaken it for the flu since young, healthy military personnel would most likely have very mild or asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 that went unrecognized. This would be particularly true before the disease spread into Wuhan and infected more vulnerable people who got severe symptoms.
5) The US has been very secretive about the outbreak and held classified White House meetings that medical specialists did not attend, because they lacked security clearances, suggesting the intelligence service attendees knew more than they have let on about the virus..
6) On Nov. 18, 2019 a conference on preparations for a coronavirus pandemic (EVENT 201) was held in New York attended by private and public figures. Nonetheless, Washington has feigned total ignorance of the potential for any impending pandemic.
There are other unsubstantiated claims that have circulated on-line, but that doesn't take away from the evidence discussed above.
The conclusion seems to be that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may have originated at the Fort Detrick lab, escaped into the wild due to lax safety precautions and infected military personnel at the base. The virus then spread within the military, mutated into a number of haplotypes and was introduced to Wuhan during the International Military Games,
No conspiracy, but typical lax security and poor procedures by the US military that led to the virus being spread in Wuhan, leading to the local epidemic and the subsequent global pandemic.
The above evidence should not be dismissed out of hand, as it should be read and investigated by a neutral international team of forensic experts."

Coronavirus: What's in the emergency legislation?
By Daniel Kraemer BBC Political Research Unit 25 March 2020
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-52004116
The government has passed all stages of its 329-page emergency bill through the House of Commons.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock told MPs the emergency legislation will allow "extraordinary measures" never seen in peace time in the UK.
The bill has cleared the House of Lords, and will become law shortly.
What does the legislation include?
The bill gives the government wide-ranging powers unlike any other recent legislation.
Mr Hancock has stressed that the powers in the bill would only be used "when strictly necessary" and would remain in force only for as long as required to respond to the crisis.
More coronavirus myths to ignore
When will the pandemic end?
Five reasons to find hope
Speaking in the Commons, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said 7,563 recently retired clinicians had so far "answered the call" to return to work to help with the emergency.
He told MPs that the returnees included nurses, midwives, paramedics and social workers - adding that priority would be given to ensure their training was up to date and they were fully insured.
Easing pressure
There are multiple sections aimed at reducing the pressure on other frontline sectors, for example by relaxing rules around detention under mental health laws and increasing the use of audio and video links in courts.
This category of measures shows just how wide the subject matters range.
Organisations could be required to provide space or resources for the storage or management of dead bodies, while rules relating to investigatory powers will be relaxed while the law is in force.
Limiting contact
One of the more high-profile measures in the bill is the power to restrict events and shut down premises such as pubs.
The government initially appeared to be relying on the goodwill of landlords and other business owners to comply, with the implied threat of action through local licensing powers, but the bill will give them sweeping powers to force shutdowns.
If UK and devolved ministers decide an event or venue poses a threat to public health, the owner of a venue or an organiser of the event can be forced to cancel, close down or restrict access.
Failure to do so could result in a fine.
The government introduced secondary legislation to this effect on Monday, so the bill will streamline and clarify the law.
Similarly, the government has decided to use secondary legislation to enforce the new social distancing rules, announced by the prime minister of Monday evening.
Using secondary legislation allows ministers to enforce new rules without waiting for the full bill to pass. They can do so using powers included in legislation passed in 1984.
Controlling borders
Once the bill passes, officials will have the power to close the borders in the event that the Border Force is under intense pressure due to staffing shortages.
It also puts into law powers to isolate or detain individuals who are judged to be a risk to containing the spread of Covid-19.
Since the outbreak of coronavirus, there has been pressure on the government to support workers who are unable to work during the crisis.
To support businesses, the bill will allow employers to reclaim statutory sick pay funds from HMRC to help with the burden of increased staff absence. For workers, it will scrap the three-day waiting period so that they can receive the payments from the day they stop working.
Are MPs concerned about the bill?
Following pressure from Tory MPs, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the bill would be debated and voted on every six months to ensure Parliament was "content with its continuation".
Acknowledging the "difficult" powers being sought by ministers were "unprecedented in peacetime", he insisted they | [

would be "relinquished" as soon as the threat to the UK had passed.
A succession of Conservative MPs welcomed the move but sought assurances that the measures would only apply to fighting the virus.
Tom Tugendhat expressed concern that the powers could - in different circumstances - be used in a "malicious fashion".
David Davis sought reassurances that individual elements of the bill could be removed if they were not working as intended, while Steve Baker called for a sunset clause - when the bill would automatically expire - of one rather than two years.
Other MPs are angry about the measures introduced to protect renters from eviction after the prime minister promised to address fears.
Labour's shadow Housing Secretary John Healey criticised a government amendment passed on Monday that extended the eviction warning period to three months, tweeting: "This legislation does not stop people losing their homes as a result of coronavirus, just gives them some extra time to pack their bags."
Will anything in the bill be changed?
Labour's shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said no MPs "came into this House" to give powers of this kind to the executive, "curtailing some of the basic freedoms our forebears fought for and we take for granted".
While Labour believed unprecedented measures were now needed to "save lives and protect our communities", he said the measures would "chill every Liberal in the House" and it only offered its support with a "heavy heart".
However, he said the bill required careful scrutiny to ensure the "quite extraordinary" powers were not abused, particularly in changes to rules on mental health sectioning and the provision of social care.
The bill, he warned, would give councils the power to "downgrade" care for the disabled and the elderly and that this should be subject to a review by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
While councils should be able to prioritise those with the greatest needs in the event of staff shortages, "what no-one of us wants to see is the legal minimum of support become the default".
When will it all come in to force?
Any legislation has to pass to the House of Lords once it has cleared the Commons. The government has no majority on the red benches, so peers could cause some problems if they want to make changes to the bill.
It is more likely that ministers will introduce their own amendments to correct or clarify some of the measures.
If they do, this would probably happen on Wednesday, at report stage. It could return to MPs immediately if they in session.
Either way, it should be signed into law by the end of Thursday, giving ministers powers that would be unprecedented in normal times.

Diplomatic Viruses

The US Embassy to Tbilisi transports frozen human blood and pathogens as diplomatic cargo. Internal documents, leaked to me by Georgian insiders, implicate US scientists in the transportation of and experimenting on pathogens under diplomatic cover. According to these documents, Pentagon scientists have been deployed to the Republic of Georgia and have been given diplomatic immunity to research deadly diseases and biting insects at the Lugar Center – the Pentagon biolaboratory in Georgia's capital Tbilisi. The military facility is just one of the many Pentagon biolaboratories in 25 countries across the world

including children, and for any amount of time.
Authorities can FORCEABLY take biological samples from your body.
There's no clear access to legal rights from as-yet unidentified isolation facilities.
Powers last up to 2.5 years
Lockdown powers could prevent protests against measures.
State surveillance safeguards weakened.
Protections from forced detainment and treatment under Mental Health Act lowered.
Cremations can be enforced against personal and religious wishes.
Changes to the court system. Registration of deaths.
No inquests into suspicious deaths! No requirement for any medical certification for burials or cremations!
It also indemnifies the health service should they fail for what ever reason to provide care.
The most frightening part. Only one medical 'officer' is required to sign off COMPULSORY TREATMENT ORDER which means... in the real world you can be forced to accept medication. Or held down and injected with whatever is seen fit. THAT is the biggest and worst threat to your own freedoms. Schedule 8 Pt1.
Local Authorities will now be exempted from compliance with their duties under The Care Act 2014. Schedule 11.
The BBC wont be telling you that bit.
So. If someone dies in police custody or any type of custody they can simply dispose of the body without any paperwork medical exam or certification or inquest.
Forget what that box in the corner of your room is 'programming' you with. Get the facts.
This is a terrible day for freedoms.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
~ Joseph Goebbels

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman turned $27 million into $2.6 billion by betting that the coronavirus would tank the market

The hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman turned a $27 million position into a $2.6 billion windfall as the coronavirus outbreak dragged stocks to multiyear lows and threatened deep economic recession.
Pershing Square Capital Management turned to credit protection on investment-grade and high-yield bond indexes to bet on an increased risk of corporate default.
The multibillion-dollar profit offset losses elsewhere in Ackman's portfolio and drove a 7.9% gain in March through Tuesday's close for Pershing Square's public fund, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The fund has since used its profits to bolster bets on Berkshire Hathaway, Hilton, Lowe's, Restaurant Brands International, and Agilent.

Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman minted a multibillion-dollar profit as coronavirus fears tanked US stocks.
The hedge-fund billionaire turned a $27 million position into $2.6 billion through defensive hedge bets, a Wednesday letter to investors said. The profit offset losses elsewhere in the firm's portfolio and helped Ackman's public fund land a 7.9% gain in March through Tuesday's close, The Wall Street Journal reported. The S&P 500 slid 17% over the same period.

Pershing Square used credit protection on investment-grade and high-yield bond indexes to land the massive profits. The assets rise in value as the odds of corporate defaults increase. As measures to combat the virus outbreak cut into economic activity, corporate bond ratings tanked, and investors feared the worst.
The fund was able to purchase the investment vehicles about a month ago "at near-all-time tight levels of credit spreads," so the risk of loss was "minimal at the time of purchase," Ackman wrote.

The hedge fund began liquidating its protective bets last week after unprecedented action from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department shifted sentiment toward corporate credit health. Ackman fully exited the position on Monday, the same day the US central bank announced it would begin buying corporate bonds to prop up the battered market.
Ackman has since used the profits to bolster Pershing Square's investments in Berkshire Hathaway, Hilton, Lowe's, Restaurant Brands International, and Agilent. The fund also reestablished a stake in Starbucks after selling its position in January.
The fund founder used Twitter and an appearance on CNBC last week to predict that the coronavirus outbreak would cause economic turmoil if the US didn't institute a 30-day shutdown.
Ackman urged CEOs of his portfolio companies to take precautions as "hell is coming" and said a national stay-at-home order was "the only answer" for saving the economy. Markets slid further through the March 18 session during Ackman's emotional CNBC interview.

After commentators accused him of fearmongering and intentionally driving markets lower, the investor said that he was "confident the president will do the right thing."
Ackman said in his Wednesday letter that he still believes a monthlong shutdown is necessary and that the US "can be reopened carefully as China has so far successfully done" once the lockdown is over.

Police said members of the public should not drive to walk dogs or exercise. But the Guardian checked with the Cabinet Office, which is overseeing restrictions on movement, who said guidelines do not prohibit driving somewhere for exercise or dog walking.

Michel Chossudovsky: "Of significance, Hackett confirmed that the project to develop a vaccine commenced not only prior to the discovery and identification of the coronavirus (January 2020) but several months prior to the October 2019 simulation exercise... It's called the ID2020 Agenda, which, according to Peter Koenig constitutes "an electronic ID program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for digital identity"... The Founding Partners of ID2020 are Microsoft, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) among others.

After the Lockdown: A Global Coronavirus Vaccination Program…
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky
https://www.globalresearch.ca/after-the-lockdown-a-global-coronavirus- vaccination-program/5706547
The tendency is towards a Worldwide lockdown spearheaded by fear and media disinformation. Currently, hundreds of millions of people Worldwide are under lockdown.
What is the next step in the evolution of the COV-19 Crisis?
A coronavirus vaccine program was announced at Davos at the World Economic Forum (21-24 January) barely 2 weeks after the cornonavirus was identified by the Chinese authorities on January 7.
The lead entity for the novel coronavirus vaccine initiative is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) an organization sponsored and financed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Note the chronology: The development of the 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) a week prior to the official launching by the WHO of a Worldwide Public Health Emergency (January 30) at a time when the number of "confirmed cases" Worldwide (outside China) was 150 (including 6 in the US).
CEPI is seeking a "monopoly" role in the vaccination business the objective of which is a "global vaccine project", in partnership with a large number of "candidates". It announced funding for its existing partnership with Inovio and The University of Queensland (Australia). In addition, CEPI confirmed (January 23) its contract with Moderna, Inc. and the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been instrumental in waging the fear and panic campaign across America: "Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu".
According to a report of the WHO pertaining to China's epidemic (which has currently been resolved):
The most commonly reported symptoms [of COVID-19] included fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath, and most patients (80%) experienced mild illness. Approximately 14% experienced severe disease and 5% were critically ill. Early reports suggest that illness severity is associated with age (>60 years old) and co-morbid disease. (largely basing on WHO's assessment of COVID-19 in China)

The Central Role of CEPI
CEPI is dealing simultaneously with several pharmaceutical companies. The Moderna- NIAID in all likelihood is slated to implement the COV-19 vaccine in the US.
On January 31st, the day following the WHO's official launching of the pandemic and Trump's decision to curtail air travel with China, CEPI announced its partnership with CureVac AG, a German-based biopharmaceutical company. A few days later, in early February, CEPI "announced that major vaccine manufacturer GSK would allow its proprietary adjuvants— compounds that boost the effectiveness of vaccines — to be used in the response".
There are many "potential vaccines in the pipeline" with "dozens of research groups around the world racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19".
In turn the EU and the US are currently competing for the vaccine markets on behalf of powerful pharmaceutical conglomerates, with the European Commission | [

"offering up to €80 million in financial support to the CureVac AG" after it was reported that Trump "was attempting to secure exclusive access to a COVID-19 vaccine it is developing", under the auspices of NIAID headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The October 2019 Coronavirus Event 201 Simulation Exercise
The coronavirus was initially named 2019-nCoV by CEPI and the WHO: exactly the same name as that adopted in the WEF-Gates-John Hopkins Event 201 pertaining to a coronavirus simulation exercise held in Baltimore in mid October 2019.
The Event 201 John Hopkins simulation addressed the development of an effective vaccine in response to millions of cases (in the October 2019 simulation) of the 2019 nCoV. The simulation announced a scenario in which the entire population of the planet would be affected. "During the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases [in the simulation] increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe."
The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.
The COV-19 Global Vaccination Program
CEPI (on behalf of Gates-WEF, which funded the simulation exercise) is currently playing a key role in a large scale (global?) vaccination program in partnership with biotech companies, Big Pharma, government agencies as well as university laboratories.
"We're having conversations with a broad array of potential partners".
And critical to those conversations is: What's the plan to make very large quantities of vaccine within a time frame that is potentially relevant to what people seem to be increasingly certain will be a pandemic, if it isn't already there? …" [Richard Hatchett, CEPI CEO in interview with stat.news.com]. …
The underlying focus is to develop a global vaccine.
And part of that was doing a global survey of manufacturing capacity to think about where we wanted to plant the manufacturing of any successful products we were able to bring forward.
Of significance, Hackett confirmed that the project to develop a vaccine commenced not only prior to the discovery and identification of the coronavirus (January 2020) but several months prior to the October 2019 simulation exercise.
"We did that in the last year or so. … We are using the information that we have collected and have that team now thinking about opportunities for scaling vaccines of various different types. That is a work in progress. For some of the technologies the tech transfer [to a manufacturer] may be something that could be done in a time frame that was pertinent to the epidemic, potentially.

context of a disease that is going to infect the whole of society? (Interview conducted by Helen Branswell, statsnews, February 3, 2020)
Moderna Inc based in Seattle is one of several candidates involved and supported by CEPI.
Moderna announced on February 24th the development of "an experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, known as mRNA-1273″. "The initial batch of the vaccine has already been shipped to U.S. government researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)" headed by Dr. Antony Fauci.
While Moderna Inc initially stated that the first clinical trials would commence in late April, tests involving human volunteers started in mid-March in Seattle:
Researchers in Seattle gave the first shot to the first person in a test of an experimental coronavirus vaccine Monday — leading off a worldwide hunt for protection even as the pandemic surges. …
Some of the study's carefully chosen healthy volunteers, ages 18 to 55, will get higher dosages than others to test how strong the inoculations should be. Scientists will check for any side effects and draw blood samples to test if the vaccine is revving up the immune system, looking for encouraging clues like the NIH earlier found in vaccinated mice.
"We don't know whether this vaccine will induce an immune response, or whether it will be safe. That's why we're doing a trial," Jackson stressed. "It's not at the stage where it would be possible or prudent to give it to the general population." (FOX news local)
CEPI's nCoV-2019 Global Vaccine and the ID2020 Digital Identity Platform
While CEPI announced the launching of a global vaccine at the Davos World Economic Forum, another important and related endeavor was underway. It's called the ID2020 Agenda, which, according to Peter Koenig constitutes "an electronic ID program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for digital identity".
"The program harnesses existing birth registration and vaccination operations to provide newborns with a portable and persistent biometrically-linked digital identity". (Peter Koenig, March 2020)
The Founding Partners of ID2020 are Microsoft, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) among others.
It is worth noting the timeline: The ID2020 Alliance held their Summit in New York, entitled "Rising to the Good ID Challenge", on September 19,2020, exactly one month prior to nCov-2019 simulation exercise entitled Event 201 at John Hopkins in Baltimore.
Is it just a coincidence that ID2020 is being rolled out at the onset of what the WHO calls a Pandemic? – Or is a pandemic needed to 'roll out' the multiple devastating programs of ID2020? (Peter Koenig, March 2020)
ID2020 is part of a "World Governance" project which, if applied, would roll out the contours of what some analysts have described as a Global Police State encompassing through vaccination the personal details of several billion people Worldwide.
In the Wake of the Lockdown
The fear campaign will continue in the wake of the lockdown. Will the hardships of the economic and social crisis encourage people to get vaccinated?
To implement the Global Vaccine, the propaganda campaign must continue. The Truth must be suppressed. These are their "guidelines", which must be confronted and challenged.
The main actors including CEPI will require the firm endorsement of the WHO (which they control), a green light from the scientific community as well bold statements by corrupt politicians.
Moreover, they will have to suppress information and analysis on the features of the virus, how it can be cured (without a vaccine), which is currently the object of debate by virologists and physicians in several countries including the US.
Remember the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic when Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology compared the H1N1 pandemic to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic while reassuring the public that the latter was more deadly | [

. (CBC: Get swine flu vaccine ready: U.S. advisers)
Based on incomplete and scanty data, the WHO Director General predicted with authority that: "as many as 2 billion people could become infected over the next two years — nearly one-third of the world population." (World Health Organization as reported by the Western media, July 2009).
It was a multibillion bonanza for Big Pharma supported by the WHO's Director-General Margaret Chan.
In a subsequent statement she confirmed that:
"Vaccine makers could produce 4.9 billion pandemic flu shots per year in the best-case scenario",Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO), quoted by Reuters, 21 July 2009).
"Swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans over the next two years and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren't successful." (Official Statement of Obama Administration, Associated Press, 24 July 2009).
There was no pandemic affecting 2 billion people… Millions of doses of swine flu vaccine had been ordered by national governments from Big Pharma. Millions of vaccine doses were subsequently destroyed: a financial bonanza for Big Pharma, an expenditure crisis for national governments.
There was no investigation into who was behind this multibillion fraud. Several critics said that the H1N1 Pandemic was "Fake"
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), a human rights watchdog, is publicly investigating the WHO's motives in declaring a pandemic. Indeed, the chairman of its influential health committee, epidemiologist Wolfgang Wodarg, has declared that the "false pandemic" is "one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century." (Forbes, February 10, 2010)
We are currently in a Lockdown, We have time to reflect. There are important lessons to be learnt from the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is far more serious and diabolical than the 2009 H1N1. The COV-19 pandemic has provided a pretext and a justification for destabilizing the economies of entire countries, impoverishing large sectors of the World population. Unprecedented in modern history.
And it is important that we act cohesively and in solidarity with those who are victims of this crisis. People's lives are in a freefall and their purchasing power has been destroyed. What kind of twisted social structure awaits us in the wake of the lockdown?
Can we trust the World Health Organization (WHO) and the powerful economic interest groups behind it.
Can we trust the main actors behind the multibillion dollar global vaccination project?
Can we trust the Western media which has led the fear campaign? Disinformation sustains the lies and fabrications. Can we trust our "corrupt" governments? Our national economy has been devastated.
This is an act of "economic warfare" against humanity.
'Be kind', or be little Hitlers? How long will 'CoVid-19 lockdown' last? Are Coronavirus Act emergency powers justified? Will lockdown bankrupt 1000s of small and medium businesses? Event 201 and ID 2020, can Bill Gates' 'human microchip' beat Covid19? 'Apocalyptic atmosphere' with a hidden agenda? BCfm Politics Show Dialect special presented from New Zealand by Tony Gosling

New study further proves Wuhan seafood market not the source of COVID-19

A recent study conducted by a group of Chinese scientists have found further genome evidence to prove that the seafood market in Wuhan is not the source of the novel coronavirus – a claim first made in a paper published on The Lancet.

by researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences, South China Agricultural University and Chinese Institute for Brain Research, was published on ChinaXiv on Saturday in a pre-print version without peer review.
Per the study, genetic data suggests the virus was introduced from elsewhere and had already circulated widely among humans in Wuhan before December 2019, probably beginning in mid to late November.
The crowded seafood market facilitated the virus transmission to buyers and spread to the whole city on a large scale in early December 2019, corresponding to the estimated population expansion time, the study shows.
Screenshot from ChinaXiv.
Researchers collected the genome-wide data from 93 new coronavirus samples shared on the GISAID EpiFlu, an international database that stores information about influenza virus, to study the evolution and human-to-human transmission of the virus over the past two months.
Among the 93 samples which were taken from 12 countries across four continents: 54 were collected from China before January 22 and the rest of the 39 samples were taken from Australia, France, Japan and the U.S. after the said date.
Screenshot from the paper.
Moreover, two sudden population expansion of the new coronavirus were found in the study before February 12, with the latest expansion date being January 6, when the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a second-level emergency response.
Researchers said the response just served as a warning but failed to arise wider public attention, otherwise the number of cases spreading nationally and globally in mid-to-late January would have been lowered.
Evolutionary relationships and geographical distribution of 58 haplotypes of SARS-CoV-2 (A, B). Evolutionary paths (C) of haplotypes and possible transmission and spreading routes (D) were also inferred based on evolutionary analyses and epidemiologic research. /Figure from research paper
The mysterious source of the novel coronavirus outbreak has led to a divide among scientists worldwide.
Conflicting studies on source of coronavirus divide scientists
With the total number of confirmed cases worldwide climbing to over 77,000, finding the source of the outbreak has become one of the most pressing tasks and is crucial to preventing and controlling future outbreaks of the virus.
The origin of the novel coronavirus is still unknown, but it's most likely an animal reservoir, said the World Health Organization.

Coronavirus, bird flu, swine fever: Why China is still so susceptible to disease outbreaks
https://monkeyviral.com/coronavirus-bird-flu-swine-fever-why-china-is- still-so-susceptible-to-disease-outbreaks/
China has become an epicenter for disease outbreaks, and the problem lies in its food supply.
There have now been over 28,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in at least 25 countries, with 563 deaths, including ones in Hong Kong and the Philippines. And all indications point to the virus breaking out in a seafood wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
In 2019, China ranked 51st out of 195 countries on the Global Health Security Index for its ability to prevent and respond to disease outbreaks. While this may signal that the country is more apt to deal with outbreaks than much of the rest of the world, China—as the world's most populous country and an economic superpower—still has significant strides to make in improving public health and safety.
While the coronavirus is the first novel disease outbreak in China in years to infect humans, in the recent past China has suffered disease outbreaks among its livestock. African Swine Fever, for instance, has devastated China's pig population since 2018, reducing the number of pigs there by 40% and straining the country's food supply. And just last week, China reportedly culled 18,000 chickens after finding cases of bird flu.
To be clear, the diseases share little in common genetically, according to | [

Linda Saif, a professor in food animal health at Ohio State University, and coronavirus is the only one of these currently known to spread between and infect humans. Yet the outbreaks all point to a similar culprit: persisting problems in China's food supply.
Amid the coronavirus crisis, China's wet markets—featuring produce and meats and sometimes live animals—have received significant attention. Yet a seismic shift such as closing down these markets altogether might not be the answer to better controlling disease in the long term, experts say. Rather, what's required is more regulatory enforcement on a local level, a tricky prospect for a country where power is increasingly centralized.
China's food market
As China has transformed into a major world power in the last several decades, feeding the country of 1.4 billion has proved a challenge of outsize proportions.
The country long depended on a network of small farmers for its food; land was redistributed to individual households under Chairman Mao Zedong in the 1970s. More recently, particularly in the last few years, China has aimed to industrialize its food system.

"The government in China has been making long-term pushes toward agriculture modernization including large scale farms for many years now," said Darin Friedrichs, senior Asia commodity analyst at INTL FCStone in Shanghai.
Beijing promoted buying food from supermarkets after the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which emerged from an animal market in Guangzhou. After an avian influenza outbreak in 2013, the government tried unsuccessfully to ban wet markets altogether, but was forced to reopen many of them when more dangerous black markets popped up in their place.
But scandals involving deadly infant milk powder, fake seaweed, and fraudulent shrimp have undermined the modernization efforts by compromising consumers' confidence in mass food production. Chinese consumers continue to go to wet markets in cities across China to access fresher, cheaper meat and produce, according to Si Zhenzhong, an expert in food security and safety in China at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
Wet markets remain a viable resource for small farmers who aren't able to sell to large supermarket chains, said Friedrichs, "and plenty of consumers have a preference towards buying at their local wet market." In fact, the markets account for up to half of all of China's food goods. The day-to-day commodities that are the markets' biggest sellers don't necessarily pose a "disease risk." The biggest danger comes from the live animals sometimes sold in the markets, Friedrichs said. Diseases can spread between animals during transport, and then to humans at the markets themselves, which makes the whole trade a breeding ground for disease.
Concern In China As Mystery Virus Spreads

China has temporarily banned the sale of wild animals. Christian Walzer, chief global veterinarian for the Wildlife Conservation Society, says sales should be stopped permanently.
"The pattern (of disease outbreaks) will keep repeating itself until we ban, not only in China, but in other countries, the sale of wildlife, specifically for food and in food markets," said Walzer.
Wild animals can carry diseases that do not ordinarily come into contact with humans, according to Walzer. Another expert, Jeroen Dewulf, a veterinarian at Ghent University in Belgium, told the Guardian that "live animals are the largest source of infection (in spreading diseases)," because it's the most efficient way to introduce novel diseases to humans.
It seems that China might be taking these calls more seriously. On Monday, President Xi Jinping released a statement vowing to "resolutely ban and severely crack down on illegal wildlife markets and trade." | [

But simply banning wildlife sales and policing wet markets might pose new problems, such as black markets for such goods. According to some experts, China needs to better enforce its existing regulations, like more regular health and safety inspections from China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to more effectively control disease spread.
"What 'wet markets' in China require is more scientific and evidence-based regulation, rather than being abolished and driven underground," anthropologists Christos Lynteris and Lyle Fearnley, who have studied disease outbreaks in China, argued in a recent piece for The Conversation.
Local challenges
But enforcing regulations on a local level is complicated by the growing influence of China's central government. Local leaders are incentivized to appease Beijing, rather than raise red flags. Local officials in Wuhan have come under fire for not communicating the disease's severity early enough, and senior party officials admitted to "shortcomings and deficiencies" in the city's early response to the outbreak.
China's entire state apparatus now appears fully mobilized behind containing the disease: an area with a population equal to California and New York State combined is under complete lockdown, new hospitals are being built in a matter of days, and much of the country is paralyzed by travel restrictions.
For those following African Swine Fever in the last few years, this might be a familiar story. The central government announced sweeping measures to cull hundreds of millions of pigs (and even worked with tech firms to roll out pig facial recognition technology to track sick animals) after the disease broke out in August 2018, yet today the problem remains as acute as ever. It is a worldwide epidemic that's wiped out up to a quarter of the world's pigs.
Edgar Wayne Johnson of Enable Ag-Tech Consulting in Beijing argues that the government "sat on [its] hands in the early stages" of the swine fever, and is still struggling to enforce local regulations.
The central government ends up exerting every ounce of its power to stop disease outbreaks like the coronavirus, yet the best solutions might be found at the bottom of China's food chain.
Hancock: compulsory vaccinations being seriously considered
Health secretary suggests government could introduce law soon to tackle falling rates
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/sep/29/government-seriously-c onsidering-compulsory-vaccinations-matt-hancock
The government is "looking very seriously" at making vaccinations compulsory for state school pupils and has taken advice on how such a law could work, the health secretary has said.
Matt Hancock, a vehement critic of anti-vaccination campaigners, has previously suggested such a plan. Speaking at a fringe event at the Conservative party conference, he said he was "very worried" by falling vaccination rates, indicating the government could act soon.
"I've said before that we should be open-minded, and frankly, what I'd say is that when the state provides services to people then it's a two-way street – you've got to take your responsibilities, too," Hancock told the Q&A session hosted by the Huffington Post.

"So I think there's a very strong argument for having compulsory vaccinations for children when they go to school, because otherwise they're putting other children at risk.
"Then I'd want to make it very easy if the children do arrive at school not vaccinated, simply to get vaccinated, and make it the norm. But I think there's a very strong argument for movement to compulsory vaccination, and I think the public would back us."
Several US states, including California, have introduced such laws for state school pupils but also faced lengthy legal challenges.
Asked about such potential opposition in the UK, Hancock said: "Actually, I've received advice inside government this week on how we might go about it, and I'm looking very seriously at it."
The UK has lost its official measles-free country status from the World Health Organization after a gradual fall in rates of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) immunisation.

week showed that for vaccinations administered at the ages of 12 months, 24 months and five years, there has been a marked decline for 13 different diseases, including whooping cough, diphtheria and meningitis.
Hancock said this was "a serious problem" and added: "It's unbelievable, I think, that Britain has lost its measles-free status, and it should be a real wake-up call. I think that the social media companies have got a lot to answer for, because they allow the spread of anti-vaccine messages.
"I will do whatever I can – the science is absolutely clear and settled on the importance of vaccination. And the worst thing is that if you don't vaccinate your child, and you can, then the person you're putting at risk is not only your child but it's also the child who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons."
Hancock said that vaccination rates below 95% lost the so-called herd immunity effect, and thus put at risk children unable to be vaccinated, for example those undergoing treatment for cancer.
He added: "You've got to make sure the system would work, because some children can't be vaccinated and some may hold very strong religious convictions that you'd want to take into account, but frankly, the proportion of people in either of these categories is tiny, compared to the 7% or 8% now who don't get vaccinated."
Hancock first raised the idea of compulsory vaccinations in May, saying he did not wish to do it but might be forced to act if no other solutions to improve take-up rates could be found.
He said: "Those who have promoted the anti-vaccination myth are morally reprehensible, deeply irresponsible and have blood on their hands."
Confidence in the MMR vaccination seems to have dropped at least partly in response to social media misinformation and scare stories. The discredited claims of Andrew Wakefield, who in 1998 theorised that the jab was linked to autism, are widely circulated.
Wakefield was struck off the medical register in 2010 after suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
Gates Foundation Simulated Exact Coronavirus Outbreak Scenario Last November With "Event 201"
http://fmshooter.com/gates-foundation-simulated-exact-coronavirus-outb reak-scenario-last-november-with-event-201/
By Jon Hall , in Current Events on January 25, 2020 . Tagged width: Coronavirus , L , Wuhan
During the start of Lunar New Year celebrations, a mystery virus is spreading and infecting throughout China.
As for official statistics, 54 people in the mainland have died and over 1,700 people (as of writing) have been sickened. Although unverified video claims up to 90,000 have already been infected by the coronavirus.
A laboratory in Wuhan, China was cleared to work with the most dangerous pathogens in the world in 2017. Once the outbreak of the coronavirus went public, it was reported that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market (just 8 miles from the lab) was the culprit of the virus, where wild (and often illegal) animals are sold. However, no link with the market and Patient Zero were found.
The market likely had some hand in transmitting the virus, given its unsanitary conditions and high volume of human traffic, but the coincidence of the Wuhan lab's location becomes even more disconcerting when viewed in light of the currently "unrelated" events.
In what has to be bizarre coincidence, in just November of last year, the Gates Foundation held a simulation called "Event 201". Event 201 simulated an outbreak of a "zoonotic "coronavirus". "Zoonatic" would be the spread of disease through animals (vertebrates).
Let's study how the scenario concluded:
Other interesting tidbits from the simulation:
"Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control".
"There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first | [

"Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week".
2 cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed in the U.S. by the CDC. President Xi of China has warned that the outbreak is accelerating and says the country is facing a grave situation.
With hospitals being stretched thin with overworked staff, medical supplies close to running out, and numerous patients seeking treatment – it's vital to keep pulse on the situation. Only time will be indicative if the situation abates in severity or worsens.
Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before Coronavirus Outbreak?

By Michael Snyder – The Economic Collapse Blog
In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen.
And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded.
In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly "lucky" all at the same time. In this article I am not claiming to know the motivations of any of these individuals, but I am pointing out certain patterns that I believe are worth investigating. One financial publication is using the phrase "the great CEO exodus" to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing.
It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers unlike anything that we have ever seen before. The following was published by NBC News last November… Chief executives are leaving in record numbers this year, with more than 1,332 stepping aside in the period from January through the end of October, according to new data released on Wednesday.
While it's not unusual to see CEOs fleeing in the middle of a recession, it is noteworthy to see such a rash of executive exits amid robust corporate earnings and record stock market highs. Last month, 172 chief executives left their jobs, according to executive placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. It's the highest monthly number on record, and the year-to-date total outpaces even the wave of executive exits during the financial crisis.
By the end of the year, an all-time record high 1,480 CEOs had left their posts. But to most people it seemed like the good times were still rolling at the end of 2019. Corporate profits were rising and the stock market was setting record high after record high. Yes, there were lots of signs that the global economy was really slowing down, but most experts were not forecasting an imminent recession.
So why did so many chief executives suddenly decide that it was time to move on?
The following are just a few of the big name CEOs that chose to step down in 2019…
Dennis Muilenburg — Boeing
United Airlines — Oscar Munoz
Alphabet — Larry Page
Gap — Art Peck
McDonald's — Steve Easterbrook
Wells Fargo — Tim Sloan
Under Armour — Kevin Plank
PG&E — Geisha Williams
Kraft Heinz — Bernardo Hees
HP — Dion Weisler
Bed, Bath & Beyond — Steven Temares
Warner Bros. — Kevin Tsujihara
Best Buy — Hubert Joly
New York Post — Jesse Angelo
Colgate-Palmolive — Ian Cook
RevContent InArticle SOLO
MetLife — Steven Kandarian
eBay — Devin Wenig
Nike — Mark Parker
Of course the mass exodus of chief executives did not end there.
In fact, a whopping 219 CEOs stepped down during the month of January 2020 alone. By then, it was starting to become clear that the coronavirus that was ripping through China could potentially become a major global pandemic, and | [

I certainly can understand why many among the corporate elite would choose to abandon ship at that moment.
Some of these CEOs have made absolutely absurd salaries for many years, and it is much easier to take the money and run than it is to stick around and steer a major corporation through the most difficult global crisis that any of us have ever experienced.
The following are just a few of the well known CEOs that have resigned so far in 2020…
Bob Iger, CEO of Disney
Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM
Harley-Davidson CEO Matt Levatich
T-Mobile's CEO John Legere
LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner
Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga
Keith Block, co-CEO of Salesforce
Tidjane Thiam, CEO of Credit Suisse
Hulu CEO Randy Freer
It is important for me to say that I do not have any special insight into the personal motivations of any of these individuals, and every situation is different. But I do think that it is quite strange that we have seen such an unprecedented corporate exodus at such a critical moment in our history.
Meanwhile, top corporate executives were dumping billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the market completely cratered. The following comes from the Wall Street Journal…
"Top executives at U.S.-traded companies sold a total of roughly $9.2 billion in shares of their own companies between the start of February and the end of last week, a Wall Street Journal analysis shows. The selling saved the executives—including many in the financial industry—potential losses totaling $1.9 billion, according to the analysis, as the S&P 500 stock index plunged about 30% from its peak on Feb. 19 through the close of trading March 20."
In the stock market, you only make money if you get out in time, and many among the corporate elite seem to have impeccable timing. Perhaps they just got really lucky. Or perhaps they were reading my articles and understood that COVID-19 was going to cause the global economy to shut down.
In any event, things worked out really well for those that were able to dump their stocks before it was too late. And it turns out that several members of Congress were also selling stocks just before the market went nuts…
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and three of her Senate colleagues reported selling off stocks worth millions of dollars in the days before the coronavirus outbreak crashed the market, according to reports.
The data is listed on a U.S. Senate website containing financial disclosures from Senate members. Of course most ordinary Americans were not so "lucky", and the financial losses for the country as a whole have been absolutely staggering.
The good news is that there was a tremendous rally on Wall Street on Tuesday, and that will provide some temporary relief for investors. But the number of confirmed coronavirus cases continues to escalate at an exponential rate all over the globe, and this crisis appears to be a long way from over.
China expels American journalists as spat with U.S. escalates

BEIJING/WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - China is withdrawing the press credentials of American journalists at three U.S. newspapers, intensifying a bitter fight between the world's top two economies that has widened to include the coronavirus outbreak and media freedoms.
Beijing announced on Wednesday what it said was retaliation against U.S. restrictions on Chinese journalists that includes revoking the accreditations of American correspondents with the New York Times (NYT.N), News Corp's (NWSA.O) Wall Street Journal and Washington Post whose credentials expire by the end of 2020.
The move is a sharp escalation of a dispute that saw Washington last month force Chinese state media firms to register as foreign embassies.
Beijing then expelled three Wall Street Journal correspondents - two Americans and an Australian - following an opinion column by the newspaper that called China the | [

"real sick man of Asia."
Washington then slashed the number of journalists permitted to work in the United States at four major Chinese state-owned media outlets to 100, from 160 previously. It cited a "deepening crackdown" on independent reporting inside China.
Beijing said the expelled journalists would not be permitted to work in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau. It said they must hand back their press cards within 10 days.
The expulsion is expected to affect at least 13 journalists, according to the Foreign Correspondents Club of China, which said it "deplores" China's decision.
China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a faxed request for comment on how many journalists are affected.
Beijing also said the China branches of the three papers plus the Voice of America broadcaster and Time magazine must "declare in written form information about their staff, finance, operation and real estate in China."

The latest development follows a war of words between Washington and Beijing over the outbreak of the new coronavirus, which causes a highly contagious, sometimes fatal, respiratory illness COVID-19.
The virus originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year and has so far killed 7,400 people globally, bringing normal life in many parts of the world to a standstill.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters at a State Department news conference that Beijing's move on Wednesday would deprive the world and the Chinese people of information in "incredibly challenging" times brought about by the coronavirus.
"I regret China's decision today to further foreclose the world's ability to conduct the free press operations that frankly would be really good for the Chinese people," he said. "This is unfortunate... I hope they'll reconsider."
Media executives denounced the move.
"We unequivocally condemn any action by China to expel U.S. reporters," Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron said in a statement. "The Chinese government's decision is particularly regrettable because it comes in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis, when clear and reliable information about the international response to COVID-19 is essential."
Dean Baquet, executive editor at The New York Times, also condemned the decision.
"It is a grave mistake for China to move backwards and cut itself off from several of the world's top news organizations," he said.
Matt Murray, editor in chief at The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, said: "We oppose government interference with a free press anywhere in the world. Our commitment to reporting fully and deeply on China is unchanged."
Time Editor in Chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal said: "We oppose any effort by the Chinese government or any other government to expel reporters or intimidate those whose job is to provide accurate information, especially during this crucial period for the world."
A representative of Voice of America was not immediately reachable.

Project acronym CAPSEVO
Project Evolution of flower morphology: the selfing syndrome in Capsella
Researcher (PI) Michael Lenhard
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITAET POTSDAM
Summary The change from reproduction by outbreeding to selfing is one of the most frequent evolutionary transitions in plants. This transition is generally accompanied by changes in flower morphology and function, termed the selfing syndrome, including a reduction in flower size and a more closed flower structure. While the loss of self-incompatibility is relatively well understood, little is known about the molecular basis of the associated morphological changes and their evolutionary history. We will address these problems using the species pair Capsella grandiflora (the ancestral outbreeder) and C. rubella (the derived selfing species) as a genetically tractable model. We have established recombinant inbred lines from a cross of C. grandiflora x C. rubella and mapped quantitative trait loci affecting flower size and flower opening. Using this resource, the proposal will address four objectives. (1) We will isolate causal genes underlying the variation in flower size and opening, by combining genetic mapping with next-generation sequencing. (2) We will characterize the developmental and molecular functions of the isolated genes in Capsella and Arabidopsis. (3) We will dissect the molecular basis of the different allelic effects of the causal genes to determine which kinds of mutations have led to the morphological changes. (4) Based on population-genetic analyses of the isolated genes, the evolutionary history of the morphological changes will be retraced. Together, these strands of investigation will provide a detailed understanding of general processes underlying morphological evolution in plants.

Project acronym CELLMIG
Project Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Promoting Single-Cell Migration in vivo
Researcher (PI) Erez Raz
Host Institution (HI) WESTFAELISCHE WILHELMS-UNIVERSITAET MUENSTER
Call Details Advanced Grant (AdG), LS3, ERC-2010-AdG_20100317
Summary The regulation of cell migration is central in pattern formation, homeostasis and disease. The proposed research is aimed at investigating the molecular basis for cell motility and the associated polarization of the cell. In view of the dynamic nature of these processes, we have chosen to utilize the migration of Primoridal Germ Cells (PGCs) in zebrafish | [

- a model that offers unique experimental advantages for imaging and experimental manipulations. The fact that molecules facilitating the motility of zebrafish PGCs are evolutionary conserved and the finding that the cells are directed by chemokines, molecules that control a wide range of cell trafficking events in vertebrates, make this in vivo study of particular importance. The proposed work involves both the functional analysis of previously identified candidates and the identification of molecules, which have a presently unknown effect on the migration process. For both objectives, we will employ novel experimental schemes. We will examine the role of proteins in achieving functional cell polarity compatible with efficient motility and response to directional cues, using unique techniques and analysis tools in the context of the living organism. The precise function of the identified proteins will be determined by combining mathematical tools aimed at quantitatively gauging the role of the molecules in conferring proper cell shape, biophysical methods aimed at measuring forces, rigidity and cytoplasm flow and determination of the effect on the organization of relevant structures using cryo electron tomography. Together, this approach would provide a non-conventional understanding of cell migration by correlating structural, morphological and dynamic cellular properties with the ability of cells to effectively migrate towards their target.
The regulation of cell migration is central in pattern formation, homeostasis and disease. The proposed research is aimed at investigating the molecular basis for cell motility and the associated polarization of the cell. In view of the dynamic nature of these processes, we have chosen to utilize the migration of Primoridal Germ Cells (PGCs) in zebrafish - a model that offers unique experimental advantages for imaging and experimental manipulations.

Project acronym CENTRIOLSTRUCTNUMBER
Project Control of Centriole Structure And Number
Researcher (PI) Monica Bettencourt Carvalho Dias
Summary Centrioles are essential for the formation of several microtubule organizing structures including cilia, flagella and centrosomes. These structures are involved in a variety of functions, from cell motility to division. Centrosome defects are seen in many cancers, while abnormalities in cilia and flagella can lead to a variety of human diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease. The molecular mechanisms regulating centriole biogenesis have only recently started to be unravelled, opening new ways to answer a wide range of questions that have fascinated biologists for more than a century. In this grant we are asking two fundamental questions that are central to human disease: how is centriole structure and number established and regulated in the eukaryotic cell? To address these questions we propose to identify new molecular players, and to test the role of these and known players in the context of specific mechanistic hypothesis, using in vitro and in vivo models. We propose to develop novel assays for centriole structure and regulation in order to address mechanistic problems not accessible with today s assays. In our search for novel components we will use a multidisciplinary approach combining bioinformatics with high throughput screening. The use of in vitro systems will permit the quantitative dissection of molecular mechanisms, while the study of those mechanisms in Drosophila will allow us to understand them at the whole organism level. Furthermore, this analysis, together with studies in human | [

tissue culture cells, will allow us to understand the consequences of misregulation of these fundamental centriole properties for human disease, such as ciliopathies and cancer. My group is already collaborating with medical doctors in the study of centriole aberrations in human disease (cancer and ciliopathies), which will be invaluable to bringing the results of this study to the translational level.
Centrioles are essential for the formation of several microtubule organizing structures including cilia, flagella and centrosomes. These structures are involved in a variety of functions, from cell motility to division. Centrosome defects are seen in many cancers, while abnormalities in cilia and flagella can lead to a variety of human diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease. The molecular mechanisms regulating centriole biogenesis have only recently started to be unravelled, opening new ways to answer a wide range of questions that have fascinated biologists for more than a century. In this grant we are asking two fundamental questions that are central to human disease: how is centriole structure and number established and regulated in the eukaryotic cell? To address these questions we propose to identify new molecular players, and to test the role of these and known players in the context of specific mechanistic hypothesis, using in vitro and in vivo models. We propose to develop novel assays for centriole structure and regulation in order to address mechanistic problems not accessible with today s assays. In our search for novel components we will use a multidisciplinary approach combining bioinformatics with high throughput screening. The use of in vitro systems will permit the quantitative dissection of molecular mechanisms, while the study of those mechanisms in Drosophila will allow us to understand them at the whole organism level. Furthermore, this analysis, together with studies in human tissue culture cells, will allow us to understand the consequences of misregulation of these fundamental centriole properties for human disease, such as ciliopathies and cancer. My group is already collaborating with medical doctors in the study of centriole aberrations in human disease (cancer and ciliopathies), which will be invaluable to bringing the results of this study to the translational level.

Project The piRNA pathway in the Drosophila germline a small RNA based genome immune system
Researcher (PI) Julius Brennecke

Summary The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized biology. As a technology it opened up new experimental and therapeutic avenues. As a biological phenomenon it changed our view on a diverse array of cellular processes. Among those are the control of gene expression, the suppression of viral replication, the formation of heterochromatin and the protection of the genome against selfish genetic elements such as transposons. I propose to study the molecular mechanism and the biological impact of a recently discovered RNAi pathway, the Piwi interacting RNA pathway (piRNA pathway). The piRNA pathway is an evolutionarily conserved small RNA pathway acting in the animal germline. It is the key genome surveillance system that suppresses the activity of transposons. Recent work has provided a conceptual framework for this pathway: According to this, the genome stores transposon sequences in heterochromatic loci called piRNA clusters. These provide the RNA substrates for the biogenesis of 23-29 nt long piRNAs. An amplification cycle steers piRNA production predominantly to those cluster regions that are complementary to transposons being active at a given time. Finally, piRNAs guide a protein complex centered on Piwi-proteins to complementary transposon RNAs in the cell, leading to their silencing. In contrast to other RNAi pathways, the mechanistic framework of the piRNA pathway is largely unknown. Moreover, the spectrum of biological processes impacted by it is only poorly understood. piRNAs are for example not only derived from transposon sequences but also from various other genomic repeats that are enriched at telomeres and in heterochromatin. We will systematically dissect the piRNA pathway regarding its molecular architecture as well as its biological functions in Drosophila. Our studies will be a | [

combination of fly genetics, proteomics and genomics approaches. Throughout we aim at linking our results back to the underlying biology of germline development.
The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized biology. As a technology it opened up new experimental and therapeutic avenues. As a biological phenomenon it changed our view on a diverse array of cellular processes. Among those are the control of gene expression, the suppression of viral replication, the formation of heterochromatin and the protection of the genome against selfish genetic elements such as transposons. I propose to study the molecular mechanism and the biological impact of a recently discovered RNAi pathway, the Piwi interacting RNA pathway (piRNA pathway). The piRNA pathway is an evolutionarily conserved small RNA pathway acting in the animal germline. It is the key genome surveillance system that suppresses the activity of transposons. Recent work has provided a conceptual framework for this pathway: According to this, the genome stores transposon sequences in heterochromatic loci called piRNA clusters. These provide the RNA substrates for the biogenesis of 23-29 nt long piRNAs. An amplification cycle steers piRNA production predominantly to those cluster regions that are complementary to transposons being active at a given time. Finally, piRNAs guide a protein complex centered on Piwi-proteins to complementary transposon RNAs in the cell, leading to their silencing. In contrast to other RNAi pathways, the mechanistic framework of the piRNA pathway is largely unknown. Moreover, the spectrum of biological processes impacted by it is only poorly understood. piRNAs are for example not only derived from transposon sequences but also from various other genomic repeats that are enriched at telomeres and in heterochromatin. We will systematically dissect the piRNA pathway regarding its molecular architecture as well as its biological functions in Drosophila. Our studies will be a combination of fly genetics, proteomics and genomics approaches. Throughout we aim at linking our results back to the underlying biology of germline development.
Project acronym DYNASTEM
Project Dynamic, stem cell-mediated self-renewal in the Drosophila intestine
Researcher (PI) Bruce Alexander Edgar
Host Institution (HI) RUPRECHT-KARLS-UNIVERSITAET HEIDELBERG
Summary Cells in intestinal epithelia turn over rapidly due to aging, damage, and toxins produced by the enteric microbiota. Gut homeostasis is maintained by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that divide to renew the intestinal epithelium, but little is known about how ISC division and differentiation are coordinated with the loss of spent gut epithelial cells. This proposal addresses the mechanisms of dynamic self-renewal in the intestine of Drosophila. Our recent work has outlined a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in Drosophila that could apply also to humans. A new lab is being established in Heidelberg where we wish to extend these studies. Our objectives are to understand: 1) How intestinal stem cell pool sizes are regulated; 2) How the cytokines and growth factors that mediate gut homeostasis are controlled; and 3) How these signals regulate the ISC cell cycle. Established genetic and cell biological methods will be applied, supported by molecular assays (microarrays, qPCR, ChIP/Seq) of gene control. New pathways of ISC control will be discovered via comprehensive genetic screens using transgenic RNAi and gene over-expression. In vitro culture of ISCs will be developed and used for live imaging and molecular analysis of the mechanisms controlling ISC proliferation and differentiation. These studies should elaborate a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in flies that can guide studies in mammals, eventually contributing to the diagnosis and treatment for diseases in which gut homeostasis is disrupted, such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Because stem cell biology is so highly relevant to wound healing, regeneration, cancer, aging and degenerative disease, this research could impact human health at many levels.

, and toxins produced by the enteric microbiota. Gut homeostasis is maintained by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that divide to renew the intestinal epithelium, but little is known about how ISC division and differentiation are coordinated with the loss of spent gut epithelial cells. This proposal addresses the mechanisms of dynamic self-renewal in the intestine of Drosophila. Our recent work has outlined a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in Drosophila that could apply also to humans. A new lab is being established in Heidelberg where we wish to extend these studies. Our objectives are to understand: 1) How intestinal stem cell pool sizes are regulated; 2) How the cytokines and growth factors that mediate gut homeostasis are controlled; and 3) How these signals regulate the ISC cell cycle. Established genetic and cell biological methods will be applied, supported by molecular assays (microarrays, qPCR, ChIP/Seq) of gene control. New pathways of ISC control will be discovered via comprehensive genetic screens using transgenic RNAi and gene over-expression. In vitro culture of ISCs will be developed and used for live imaging and molecular analysis of the mechanisms controlling ISC proliferation and differentiation. These studies should elaborate a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in flies that can guide studies in mammals, eventually contributing to the diagnosis and treatment for diseases in which gut homeostasis is disrupted, such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Because stem cell biology is so highly relevant to wound healing, regeneration, cancer, aging and degenerative disease, this research could impact human health at many levels.

Summary Genome Instability has been recognized as causal factor of cancer and recently also as a major contributing factor of aging. A number of progeroid (premature aging-like) syndromes are linked to defects in nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER thus provides a highly relevant experimental system to study the role of genome stability in aging. Using the NER system we recently uncovered a novel link between DNA damage accumulation and the regulation of longevity assurance programs. We propose to use the powerful genetic system of C. elegans to identify mechanisms through which the stochastic accumulation of damage impacts aging and genetic pathways of longevity regulation. We will pursue three complementary experimental strategies: (1) genetic identification of novel response pathways to persistent DNA damage, (2) investigation of DNA damage resistance mechanisms that promote longevity, and (3) a targeted candidate approach to uncover the underlying mechanisms that ensure genome integrity in lifespan extension. This proposal aims at the discovery of novel genes functioning in genome stability and longevity regulation that might be instrumental for the development of preventive therapeutic strategies for age-related pathologies as well as for the treatment of rare genetic progeroid disorders.

Project acronym GREENLATPOL
Project Mechanisms underlying lateral polarity establishment in plant cells
Researcher (PI) Markus Grebe
Summary Higher plants and animals establish elaborate body plans with one end of the organism being different from another. Polar organisation is also of fundamental importance at the single-cell level, because mutations affecting cell polarity may cause severe body deformations. Hence, cell polarity is a central theme of biological research and much progress has been made towards our understanding of cellular polarisation along the shoot-root (apical-basal) axis of plants. By contrast, how polarity is established towards inner and outer lateral membranes of plant cells remains unresolved. Here, I propose to identify components controlling lateral cell polarity, employing the root epidermis of the genetic model plant Arabidopsis as an excellent system readily accessible for cell biological analyses. Root epidermal cells display polar nuclear movement towards the inner lateral membrane and proteins located at the outer lateral membrane. We will employ tools for visualization of these polar events that will enable us to A) perform forward genetic screens to discover signals and requirements for polar nuclear movement and outer lateral membrane polarity, B) apply forward and reverse genetics to unravel cytoskeletal requirements of lateral polarisation, C) employ live-cell imaging to reveal the dynamics of polarising events and D) combine genetic and cellular analyses with regulators of apical-basal polarity. Our work will uncover how a single cell separates and integrates polarising events along diverse axes. The proposed research is groundbreaking, as it will lay foundations for an understanding of lateral polarity establishment in plants. Finally, it will aid our understanding of how mechanisms underlying polarising events evolved differently in diverse multicellular organisms.

Project The establishment and function of dorsiventral boundaries in plant organs
Researcher (PI) Marcus Gabriel Barrington Heisler
Host Institution (HI) EUROPEAN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LABORATORY
Summary The coordination of cellular behaviour that results in development involves the synchronization of many distinct patterning processes. A prime example of coordination at different levels is the process of lateral organ development. Firstly, a positioning system ensures that new organs initiate at the right locations. Secondly, gene expression must be patterned so as to define the different tissue types correctly. Lastly, specific patterns of localized growth must occur such that the organ develops to the correct size and morphology. How are these distinct processes regulated and what signals coordinate their patterning? By building on my recent work, this proposal aims, for the first time, to build an integrated understanding of how these | [

distinct patterning processes arise and coordinate with one another, in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. The proposal utilizes and extends the multispectral live-imaging techniques I pioneered as a postdoc and combines this approach with state-of-the-art transcriptomics and perturbation methods. Specifically, I aim to understand the regulatory links that coordinate dorsoventral patterning, cell polarity and morphogenesis at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and during lateral organ development.
The coordination of cellular behaviour that results in development involves the synchronization of many distinct patterning processes. A prime example of coordination at different levels is the process of lateral organ development. Firstly, a positioning system ensures that new organs initiate at the right locations. Secondly, gene expression must be patterned so as to define the different tissue types correctly. Lastly, specific patterns of localized growth must occur such that the organ develops to the correct size and morphology. How are these distinct processes regulated and what signals coordinate their patterning? By building on my recent work, this proposal aims, for the first time, to build an integrated understanding of how these distinct patterning processes arise and coordinate with one another, in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project Molecular mechanisms of autophagosome formation

Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITAT WIEN
Summary During autophagy initially small double membrane-bound structures expand and adopt cup-like shapes. These cup-shaped structures fuse at their rims to give rise to autophagosomes within which cytoplasmic material is enclosed. Subsequently autophagosomes fuse with endosomes and lysosomes and the content and the inner membrane are degraded. Autophagy serves to recycle essential building blocks during starvation, to degrade damaged organelles, to clear cells of protein aggregates and to kill intracellular microorganisms. Little is known about the mechanisms by which cells bend and remodel membranes into autophagosomes. The action of a complex containing type III PI3K activity is essential for the initiation of autophagosome formation. During expansion of the initial double membrane bound structure the Atg8 and Atg12 conjugation systems play important roles. A further protein that is essential for autophagosome formation is the transmembrane protein Atg9. We will investigate the impact of individual PI3K complex subunits, the Atg8 and Atg12 conjugation systems and Atg9 on membrane morphology in vitro. We will analyse membrane shape changes and micro-domain formation using artificial small and giant liposomes by electron and light microscopy. We will introduce targeted mutations that are designed to interfere with membrane shape changes or micro-domain formation. Furthermore, where necessary, we will solve the structure of individual subunits or complexes by x-ray crystallography. We will further verify our in vitro findings in cell culture systems. Our results will give important insights into autophagy and organelle formation in general.

Here's Why Northerners Will Never Get "Southern Hospitality"
Roy Blount Jr.
From the book Save Room for Pie
A meditation on manners.
Nishant Choksi for Reader's Digest
Come on in! Busy? Me? No! Sit right down here in my favorite chair and keep me up all night and drink all my liquor. Can I run out and kill our last chicken and fry her up for you? No? Wouldn't take a minute. Are you sure? Oh, don't let the chicken hear you. She'll be so disappointed.
What can I do to make you comfortable?
You want me to tell you about Southern hospitality?
It is true that I have long lived largely in the North but am Southern. So I have a certain perspective. I have never gotten over the sight of whatever it was that was served to me as fried chicken one night in Akron.
"This is fried chicken?" I asked the waiter. He looked at it. "I think so," he said. I rest my case. But that doesn't mean there is no such thing as Northern hospitality. True, it is possible to meet with a less than heartwarming reception up north.
I remember one Sunday morning in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I went to a cafeteria to get coffee and a doughnut before meeting a friend. I took a ticket from a ticket machine, then ordered from the woman behind the steam table, who was gazing with angst down into a vat of scrambled eggs. I was tempted to tell her I agreed that scrambled eggs should never be assembled in vat-size proportions, but she seemed to be thinking about something even worse. Without speaking or even looking up, she served me and punched my ticket to show how much I owed. I then presented the ticket to the woman at the cash register.
Everything seemed to be in order. I wasn't expecting anything more than a smooth transaction, but I was expecting that, a smooth transaction.
The woman at the cash register looked at my ticket, then raised her eyes as though in supplication. "Jaysus Murray and Jeosuph," she cried, pursing her lips unevenly like Humphrey Bogart. "Why do all you people come in on weekends?"
That was 50 years ago. To this day, I don't know what was wrong.
But I wouldn't call that an example of Northern hospitality, exclusively.
In Nashville, Tennessee, I cultivated a hamburger joint for weeks, ordering the same thing every time. Finally, I came in and said, "The usual."
"You mean 'the regular,'" the counter person, named Opaline, said.
I thought I meant "the usual." I thought I was the regular. But I didn't argue. "The regular, then," I said.
"In your case," she said, "what's that?"
Still, Southern hospitality is an institution. Before air-conditioning, climate was a factor. In the South, people were more likely to be sitting out on the porch when folks showed up. You couldn't pretend not to be home when there you were, sitting on the porch. You could pretend to be dead, but then you couldn't fan yourself.
Even today, rhetoric is a factor. The salesperson in Atlanta may give you just as glazed a look as the one in Boston. But the former is more likely to say, "These overalls are going to make your young one look cute as a doodlebug's butt." Southerners still derive energy from figures of speech, as plants do from photosynthesis.
Northern hospitality can be summed up thusly: You walk into a dry cleaner's for the 30th time, and the proprietor, recognizing you at last, says, "You again!" If you are willing to accept that he is never going to welcome you, then you're welcome. The advantage of this form of Northern hospitality is that it works irritation right into the equation, up front. Let's face it: People irritate one another. Especially hosts and guests.
Irritation is a part of Southern hospitality too. Say you run into a Southerner where you live in the North. And you take a thorn out of his paw or something, and he declares, "I want you to come visit us! And sleep in my bed! Me and Mama will take the cot! And bring your whole family!"

Studio Visit: VONNEGUT KRAFT
Words by Sasha Haines-Stiles | Photography by Kirsten Francis
Katrina Vonnegut and Brian Kraft
I think we just became more comfortable, like how any relationship develops, we became more open about sharing ideas or moving a project forward. Just learning better editing skills. That's what good design is, having the essence of a concept and then being able to pare it down and develop it further.
— Katrina Vonnegut
New Yorkers who keep your heads down on the subway, take note: a chance encounter on the G train in Williamsburg is what brought together one of the industry's most intriguing duos, Vonnegut/Kraft. Helmed by Katrina Vonnegut, a RISD grad, and Brian Kraft, a self-taught carpenter's son, this young but much-lauded studio specializes in handmade, sculptural furniture and objects with a keen interest in materiality, fine detail and the occasional subversive nuance. We met the designers at their Sunset Park studio and wood shop — down the road from Industry City, Brooklyn's new mecca-in-the-making for creatives — to talk about a shared commitment to craft, a mutual obsession with chairs, and the ins and outs of building a successful work-life partnership.

RONEN LEV: Could you tell us a bit about your backgrounds, and what brought you together?
KATRINA VONNEGUT: I studied furniture design at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduated in 2009, and moved to New York. Brian and I met a couple years after. We were neighbors.
BRIAN KRAFT: Well we sort of met on the G train. We sat next to and took notice of one another while riding the train. Then we started seeing each other around the neighborhood and it turned out we lived across the street from each other…
KV: I was making furniture independently, Brian was doing custom millwork, and then we started working together.
BK: My dad's a carpenter, and I grew up building houses with him. When I moved to the city I actually went to NYU as an English major. After school, I met a guy with a similar background and we started a millwork shop together. I had taken a long break from doing any carpentry and then fell back into it. So when Katrina and I met, I had this shop in Bushwick, which lasted from 2003 to 2013. She came in toward the end and Vonnegut/Kraft really started when we moved down here. Was that 2013?
KV: Yeah. But you've been here—you kind of grew up in New York.
BK: I grew up in New Jersey but I feel like, by extension. in the city.
RL: And you grew up in Vermont?
KV: Yes, in the Lake Champlain Islands. North Hero and South Hero. It's pretty rural and close the Canadian border.
RL: Have you always been interested in furniture?
KV: I went to RISD initially thinking I was going to study film. But I really enjoy physically making things, and within the first couple months of my major at RISD I changed my mind and joined the Furniture Department. I was trying to find a balance between sculpture and product design, and furniture was the perfect blend of these majors. RISD has a really good woodworking program. So that's kind of how I got into furniture, but I've really been surrounded by it my whole life. My mother is an antiques dealer and would refinish furniture, so there was always an emphasis on the importance of well-made, beautiful furniture pieces and objects and understanding the history and craftsmanship behind objects. And my dad's an architect.
RL: So it was inevitable!
KV: Yeah, it really did just kind of feel…inevitable.
BK: Yes, and then we met. I had been wanting to do more creative work, and it just worked out. She really inspired me to…. You know, I was getting really tired of doing these custom jobs for people.
KV: But you're an incredible carpenter. I mean, you worked on David Adjaye's first project in New York, Calatrava | [

's apartment… I mean, you've done so many amazing spaces through the custom side of it.
RL: So how did you find your voice when you combined?
KV: It took a while, but I think we just became more comfortable, like how any relationship develops, it became more open about sharing ideas or moving a project forward. Just learning better editing skills. That's what good design is, having the essence of a concept and then being able to pare it down and develop it further.
BK: We kind of found our first really good pieces pretty early on, and it built from there. It's still a struggle sometimes, but we always find our voice, I think.
RL: How do you explain the Vonnegut/Kraft aesthetic?
KV: I think we have a strong emphasis on form and materiality. [To Brian] How would you describe it?
BK: We really focus on formal details especially ones that really articulate their overt function. Ideally we strive to make these sort of sculptural centerpieces that feature bold gestural details .
KV: And also it's about finding a new voice within sculpture. Like with this table [the Mesa Table], the structure is integrated into the aesthetic signature of the support system. And even with our daybed [the Crescent Lounge], it's kind of a play on the idea of an Egyptian headrest, and the concept of holding the headrest up with this sculptural element. We're really detail-oriented, so figuring out the right connection is important — something that's a little surprising or atypical. Right now we're striving to include more asymmetry and color and move forward on expanding this design vocabulary with new materials.
BK: I think being more thorough with new materials, exploring fabrics and metal and stone, which felt a little impractical for us in the beginning.
KV: With wood we're able to do more complicated forms because of our deeper understanding of how things go together, whereas in other materials it's not as familiar. But we'd like to challenge ourselves a little bit more.
RL: Do you try to debut a certain amount of new product each year?
BK: That was the idea at first, and we had anticipated that the cycle necessitated new releases maybe as often as every six months — but as we got more involved in the New York design scene, it became a little more realistic than that. With furniture it's really difficult to prototype and release even on an annual cycle, so I feel like we and a lot of our peers have gotten into an every-other-year rhythm. But we always do something for design week, like a collaboration or one or two new pieces.
RL: Could you walk us through your typical process when you're designing something?
KV: We sketch. I make a lot of models. Then we usually get together and present all of the variations and from there we'll start mocking up details pretty quickly, which is why having a wood shop is so essential to our process.
BK: I really like to work in scale. Prototyping shifts up and down, but I really like to just get in and prototype in the shop. Because we have the space here, we tend to mock everything up in wood.
KV: Typically you'd do a drawing, have it prototyped, then adjust and edit from there… We have the ability to do that in real time, which is really beneficial to our process.
RL: So your team makes everything to order here?
KV: Yes, by us and we have part-time employees. With the exception of metal and glass. We're in the process of trying to outsource some of our pieces but keep some of our staple designs, like our credenza and the daybed, in house. The idea is eventually to be more or less a prototyping shop.
RL: Do clients ever choose their own fabrics?
BK: Yes, I'd say about 50% of the time — and they've been choosing some really good combinations.
KV: When they do, we get to see it in a new way, which is exciting. We had one client who just chose a beautiful Mongolian lamb fur for the headrest with the leather detail on the ends, and it was really beautiful. It's one of those things where I was like, maybe we should offer this. It's nice that you can get so much variation out of the same framework. Like seeing it go from black to the bleached ash — that can | [

I think that craft — speaking from my associations of what craft means and how we employ that in our own work — is about understanding our materials, which is what gives us control and allows us to have new ideas. If you don't have that understanding and you don't know how to construct things, you're going to be limited in your design concepts.
RL: The design scene here in Sunset Park seems to be thriving. How do you find it?
KV: It's really tight-knit. Do you know Chen Chen and Kai Williams? They're in our building. It's really tight-knit but also really open, in that people are willing to share resources, like if we're having issues with fabrication, or vice versa. I don't think that applies to other industries… Because we've all sort of evolved here, there's a strong sense of camaraderie. We're also part of Colony, the showroom, and we have meetings every month where we get to see and catch up with many of the designers who are exhibiting through them. Beyond that, everybody makes an effort to go to everyone else's openings, studio parties, whatever is happening. I hope Industry City is beneficial to artists and designers. Everything's changing really quickly.
BK: It's starting to infiltrate a little further down, too. For example, I think Kara Walker just moved her studio around the corner, and a lot of artists are looking down here. Between Industry City and here and Red Hook, there's a lot of creatives around. All of South Brooklyn, really. Egg Collective is right down the street, David Gaynor, Red Hook has Fort Standard, Ladies and Gentlemen. Its great to have this sense of community. I think it's something that Katrina's really familiar with, having had such a tight group of friends and peers at RISD and seeing that continue right up through today.
RL: We've recently been discussing the ratio between men and women in the design classroom and then how it changes once you enter the industry. Any thoughts on this from your experience teaching?
KV: It still feels like there is a large gap in the ratio of men to women in this field or it might just be the gallery representation is not equal. In teaching furniture classes and engaging with universities I hope that we can mentor more women to pursue careers in furniture design and fabrication.
BK: But I do have to add that we've had at least 50% female interns/employees, if not more.
RL: That's really great. Today's students are probably noticing the growth of craft as a movement, and I'm wondering if you see this as a trend or a return to artistry — more of a paradigm shift?
KV: I think that craft — speaking from my associations of what craft means and how we employ that in our own work — is about understanding our materials, which is what gives us control and allows us to have new ideas. If you don't have that understanding and you don't know how to construct things, you're going to be limited in your design concepts.
BK: I came to the creative side through making. I don't have any formal training, I'm self-taught in the shop, though I obviously had a lot of integral skills that came from growing up with a carpenter father. But the only approach to design that I know stems from crafting things by hand.
KV: I think it's where the discovery happens.
BK: That's what's exciting about designing, is the discovery in process. I don't think we could do it any other way.
RL: And how do you balance that craftsmanship with technology and innovation?
KV: I'm interested in using technology to achieve something that we wouldn't be able to do ourselves. That would be the tipping point, where that is the advantage. Everything we make now, we feel like we're capable of doing it, so the process of taking it out of the studio to a facility with a CNC machine… It always just seems faster if we do it ourselves.
BK: Although I do think it's inevitable, with the volume of stuff we're making now. It is important for us to recognize our limitations and to understand how technology can help us grow. But to put it simply, we've just never been interested in conceiving things from the standpoint of the implementation of technology.
KV: Well I don't | [

Sylvan Learning is focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity and inspiring the love of learning.
LEARNING SHOULD BE PERSONAL
GREAT TEACHERS
TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATES LEARNING
Education Is Everything
A child's future depends on a solid education and a love of learning. We teach our students how to learn so they build confidence and develop the skills needed to achieve success in school and beyond.
A one-size-fits-all approach to teaching doesn't fit everyone because no two students are exactly alike. They learn in different ways and at different paces. We make learning personal. We assess our students to understand their educational needs as well as their attitudes toward learning. Then we develop individualized learning plans that are unique to each student. It's no wonder that our students enjoy coming to Sylvan.
Great Teachers Inspire
Our teachers don't just teach. They get to know each student and they provide the positive reinforcement and motivation that leads to success. Our educators turn frustration into confidence, B's into A's, and strugglers into achievers. They inspire one student at a time.
Technology is rapidly changing the world, enhancing the way we live and learn. But technology doesn't teach students, teachers do. We blend great teaching with great technology to get the best out of every student.
There is no substitute for progress. We are committed to ensuring that every Sylvan student advances in our programs. Sylvan has 37 years of great results, millions of successful students and counting.
EXTRAORDINARY FUTURES BEGIN HERE
Our proven tutoring programs are just the beginning. From cool STEM classes to college prep to school contract opportunities, discover the many ways we inspire kids to make anything possible.

Market Share Leader

Franchisee Satisfaction
• "Home staging used to be optional. Today, it's a necessity in selling a house."
– Barbara Corcoran, businesswoman and "Shark" investor on ABC's Shark Tank.
• A survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corp found that staged homes spent half the time on the market compared to non-staged homes and sold for more than 6 percent above the asking price.
• 81 percent of homebuyers say it is easier to visualize the property as a future home when it's staged. (National Association of Realtors)
• 5,250,000 existing homes were sold in 2015, according to data from the
National Association of REALTORS®.
Great Revenue Potential
An initial investment ranging from $45,700-$79,860 can lead to an average gross revenue of $325,411*.
*18 of our 32 franchisees were in continuous full-time operation during the entire three year period ended December 31, 2015. Of these 18 franchisees, 9 (50%) met or exceed the average annual revenue of $325,411 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015. There is no assurance, however, that you will do as well. See Item 19 of the Showhomes Franchise Disclosure Document for more information.
Kari & Ryan Wiegel
MARRIED ACCOUNTANTS
Meet Kari and Ryan Weigel, who left their CPA jobs to join Kari's mom in owning a variety of Sylvan locations and expand the family business
My husband Ryan and I, were both born and raised in Bismarck, North Dakota. I attended the University of North Dakota where I studied accounting; Ryan and I are both CPAs. I learned of Sylvan at the age of 17 when my mother opened a center. In fact, my mom just retired from Sylvan this year. Ryan and I currently have two centers - one in Fargo and one in Bismarck.
Why We Chose Sylvan
My mother taught in public elementary schools for 19 years. She had an extremely high passion for students, but had her differences with the education system at the time. She knew Sylvan would let her make a greater difference in children's education. For me, I knew from the moment that I first started working with my mom that Sylvan was the place I wanted to be. I've always had a great passion for teaching and children, but it wasn't until I went to help my mom that I knew that was what I wanted to pursue. I ended up working for her for a year and a half.
Crystal Cotti
Meet Crystal Cotti, who left her job as a news anchor to open multiple Sylvan centers throughout Texas.
I grew up in a small, central-Texas town called McGregor, before pursuing a career in journalism at the University of Texas in Austin. During my last semester of college, I started working as a morning news reporter at the television station FOX 7, and eventually, ended up working there for six years. From 2004–2010, I covered Austin's city hall beat before taking over operations at the local Sylvan. I am married to former Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, Mark Strama, who works as the head of Google Fiber in Austin. We have two young daughters.
How I Heard About Sylvan
The next town over from where I grew up was Waco, and they had a Sylvan. I had heard of Sylvan and knew that it helped kids, but that was about it. Even though I haven't always pursued a career in education, it was always in the back of my mind. My parents were firm believers in the importance of education and they enforced that idea with all their kids. The thing that I'm most proud of is not that I was the first person in my family to go to college—it's that I wasn't the last. All of my younger siblings also attended college.
My dad always said, "Education is key to a better life." I think Sylvan would say the same thing. At Sylvan, we help all k | [

ids reach their potential to be successful in school, and more broadly, successful in life. Sylvan makes sure that kids have the support they need to make it through to college and to find a career. That's what the brand said to me and why I was interested in being a franchisee.
Amanda & Kym
Mother/Daughter Duo
Amanda McNew and her mother, Kym Benford's passion for education led to owning their first Sylvan center.
My mom and I love keeping our Sylvan Learning center a family affair. I graduated from Shippensburg University with a degree in elementary education. I first began working with Sylvan's Chambersburg location as the Executive Director when it was under different ownership. When the location went up for sale, my mom saw it as an opportunity for the whole family to grow with a great brand. After just a year of running our Chambersburg, Pa. Sylvan center, we have taken steps to expand the footprint of our education business with a double expansion — first by taking ownership of a corporate-owned center in York, Pa., then by making plans to open a brick-and-mortar location in Camp Hill, Pa.
My mom has been working for 17 years at GLC Industries as the Director for Business Intelligence. I previously worked as a fourth-grade teacher in the local school district, and currently teach second grade at a virtual charter school. Our family also has quite the history in education—my mom's parents (my grandparents), were both educators.
After working in the public school district, I realized that there are a lot of unforeseen limitations in the regular classroom. I wanted to help students that might be struggling, or that might not get individualized attention from the teacher because class sizes are too big. With Sylvan, we could help students to go above and beyond these obstacles.
Becky Taylor
Becky Taylor left her 10-year teaching career in the public school system to open numerous Sylvan centers throughout North Carolina.
I grew up in Jacksonville, NC and was one of six children. I was the first in my family to receive a college degree. I graduated from East Carolina University with both a Bachelor's and Master's in Special Education. Since my grandmother and aunt were both teachers, I knew by the age of 14 that I wanted to study Special Education and couldn't wait to have my own classroom.
Why I Chose Sylvan
I loved the learning environment and the success that students were experiencing with the program.
Chris & Jano Pittner
Corporate Regional Operations
Brothers, Chris & Jano Pittner held various regional operations positions before becoming Sylvan franchisees together. They now run 11 centers in Texas.
I [Chris] grew up in Arizona and graduated from the University of Arizona. I spent fifteen years with Blockbuster Video as a regional director, overseeing the operations of 120 Blockbuster stores. After Blockbuster's sales dipped, I started looking for other job opportunities and found Sylvan. I worked at Sylvan corporate for a couple years before deciding to become a Sylvan franchisee in 2007. My brother, Jano, and I currently run 11 centers in the Texas area and are excited to open two more locations in Dallas this year. I am also proud to say that I am a Sylvan Franchisee of the Year award winner. I love spending time with my wife and four kids.
When I was leaving Blockbuster and looking at various employers, I found out that Sylvan was looking for a regional director. Sylvan had a quality product and it aligned with my own values of education and children. My dad was a math teacher for 47 years and I have four children so I thought it would be a good fit.
Penny & Joseph
International Educators
Penny Loome and Joseph Rooney have an impressive international resume as husband and wife, but eventually landed in Miami, where they own five Sylvan Centers.
Originally from Canada, Penny grew up overseas, spending time during her childhood in Africa, the Middle East and Western Europe. After returning to Canada to receive her teaching qualifications, she landed her first gig — teaching at an American school in Casablanca, Morocco. She proceeded to take a job at Colegio Roosevelt in Lima as a first grade teacher, where she met Joseph, her now-husband and business partner. Joseph, a Glasgow, Scotland native, worked as a high school English teacher for 18 years before becoming the school | [

's principal. After a short stint outside education, Joseph returned to the sphere by teaching international baccalaureate (IB), advanced placement (AP) and standardized test preparations at an international school Lima, Peru.
In 2007, we were able to reach our dream of business ownership, opening our first Sylvan center in Victoria, B.C., with a second center opening less than two years later. And as luck would have it, the brand then had five centers in Miami up for sale. The location piqued our interest, prompting us to purchase the locations and pack up for a warmer climate in the U.S.
Why Sylvan?
Sylvan very accurately pinpoints students' weaknesses in core subjects, like math and reading, which are at the core of every other subject. If you can't do math, you won't be able to do science; if you can't read, you won't be able to do any of the humanities. Sylvan focuses on those access subjects and targets particular areas of development by tailoring courses for each student in the way that will maximize potential development. At Sylvan, we focus on skills and filling gaps by going back to the point of struggle. The reality is that basic skills are the foundation for good education. As a teacher having worked in the classroom, you would have 20 – 25 students. You knew which ones needed help, and you knew what they needed, but in the scope of a day, you cannot give individual attention to five, six or seven students — there's just no time. That's the beauty of Sylvan.

Gross revenue numbers in this table include Sylvan System and SylvanSync System gross revenues as well as Sylvan EDGE gross revenues and Ace it! gross revenues, if any, for the given Territory. Sylvan franchisees first began to have the opportunity to deliver the Sylvan EDGE Program in 2015. Not all franchisees delivered the Sylvan EDGE Program, which is optional. System-wide Sylvan EDGE Program gross revenues in 2016, as reported by franchisees, were $4,742,505. Sylvan offered the Ace it! Program as a separate franchise opportunity from January 2006 until January 2016; Sylvan began to offer the Ace it! Program as an optional product license in 2016. Not all franchisees delivered the Ace it! Program, which is optional. System-wide Ace it! Program gross revenues in 2016, as reported by franchisees, were $14,176,583.
Some licensed territories had two or more Centers operating in the Territory during this period.
Some licensed territories operated Satellites as part of the Licensed Business in the Territory during this period. Generally, licensed territories which operate one or more Satellites generate more revenue than those which operate only one Center. There is no guarantee that you will have higher revenue if you operate a Satellite in your territory. Many factors influence performance in a Territory. You are not required to operate any Satellite in your Territory. Satellites are optional.

Men, animals and plants, everyone has its own story, but from the relationship between them it arises an unique and complex harmony. "Identity, relationship, harmony", this is the theme of Floracult, event which will be held from 25th to 28th April 2019 in the suggestive frame of Rome countryside in La Storta, at I Casali del Pino, successful celebration of nature, its culture as wells its ten years of life. Many are the events, the permanent installations that talk about the world of nature, its little hosts and different possibilities, shapes and colors. Talks, workshops, book launches as well as a special guest star, Abderrazzak Benchaâbane, professor, perfumer, photographer, botanist, legendary persona from Marrakech, renowned for his gardens that host the Moroccan museum of contemporary art he created and the scents and spices of the perfumes he made. He has worked, during his long career as gardener for over ten years, on the famous Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, purchased by Yves St. Laurent in 1980, an awesome tropical garden featuring plants coming from all over the world. A not to be missed happening to live and discover again the natural dimension, the depth of its voices and rhythms, a precious source to think about and do, save, take care and protect.
per i suoi giardini, che ospitano il museo di arte contemporanea marocchina da lui creato e per le essenze e le spezie dei suoi profumi. Nella sua lunga carriera di giardiniere si è occupato per più di dieci anni del famoso Jardin Majorelle a Marrakech, acquistato da Yves St. Laurent nel 1980, un giardino tropicale lussureggiante ricco di piante provenienti da tutto il mondo. Un evento imperdibile per vivere e riscoprire la dimensione naturale, la profondità delle sue voci e dei suoi ritmi, una preziosa risorsa per pensare e fare, da conservare, curare e proteggere.
I think about the latest happening, the arrest of Julian Assange by borrowing the system created by the legendary fashion designer and social activist Vivienne Westwood, the pack of cards to save the world as it has explained on the website of Climate Revolution, one of the many laudable initiatives that involve her. To draw new landscapes, what she has done and is continuing to do at best through fashion and activism, under the sign of action propaganda( reminding me the lesson by the French philosopher Guy Debord). To make use of pack of cards, ancient means to play and divinatory system, the mantic, an ensemble of signifiers, symbols and icons to give rise to many significances. These cards often feature in the collections she made. I like reminding of the King of Clubs ( this card as birthday card depicts people who, due to many lifetimes, have amassed a resource of knowledge from which to draw with authority. They live this life on their own terms, from their unique perspective and have a commanding presence both physically and mentally. Information flows effortlessly through them. People of this card are here to experience life and themselves through their mental nature, thinking, communication, language, information, knowledge and education), where the clubs are considered by her as the symbol of the war, instead its main feature, Julian Assange has considered as "the true punk", being a freedom fighter, that freedom of speech which is an inviolable right in a democratic society and makes free from fear, the evil of the contemporary society which increases violence worldwide. Therefore I join with the fashion designer – who featured in a public protest to ask for the liberation of Julian – and all of the ones, they are many, who think free of speech is a value to protect and defend.
Penso a recenti accadimenti, l' arresto di Julian Assange prendendo a prestito il sistema creato dalla leggendaria fashion designer e attivista nel sociale Vivienne Westwood, il mazzo di carte per salvare il mondo come è spiegato sul sito web di Climate Revolution, una delle svariate lodevoli iniziative che la coinvolgono.

segna della propaganda ad agire ( che mi ricorda la lezione del filosofo francese Guy Debord). Avvalersi del mazzo di carte, antico strumento di gioco e sistema divinatorio, la mantica, un insieme di significanti, simboli e icone per dar vita a molteplici significati. Sovente tali carte appaiono nelle collezioni da lei realizzate. Mi piace ripensare al Re di Fiori ( tale carta quale carta di nascita ritrae individui che, in ragione di molteplici vite, hanno accumulato una fonte di conoscenza dalla quale attingono con autorevolezza. Vivono la vita conformemente a se stessi, dalla loro unica prospettiva. L' informazione scorre senza fatica in loro. Le persone di questa carta sono qui per sperimentare la vita e se stessi attraverso la loro natura mentale, il pensiero, la comunicazione, lingua, informazione, conoscenza ed educazione), in cui i fiori sono da lei ritenuti il simbolo della guerra, invece il suo principale protagonista, Julian Assange è considerato il "vero punk", essendo uno che lotta per la libertà, quella libertà di parola che è un diritto inviolabile in una società democratica e scaccia via la paura, il male della società contemporanea che accresce la violenza in tutto il mondo. Perciò mi unisco alla fashion designer – protagonista di una manifestazione di protesta per chiedere la liberazione di Julian – e tutti coloro che, sono numerosi, pensano che la libertà di parola sia un valore da proteggere e difendere.
The London group Extinction Rebellion, focused on issues as climate change and activism to protect the world where we live in order to draw new landscapes under the sign of consciousness and a healthy ethic – which is much more far from the binomial of price and value, where it's the price the bringer of any value, a leitmotiv of the nowadays commodified society – will announce on Monday 15th April 2019 in London its plans for the International Rebellion during an event of peaceful direct action and civil disobedience which will take place in different areas that will features different topics: "This is an emergency" in Marble Arch, "Tell the truth" in Oxford Circus, "Act now" in Waterloo Bridge- XR London Garden Bridge, "Beyond politics" in Parliament Square and "The heart" in Piccadilly Circus. Rebels of the world, what are you waiting for, unite!
Il gruppo londinese Extinction Rebellion, rivolto a problematiche quali il cambiamento climatico e l' attivismo per proteggere il mondo in cui viviamo al fine di disegnare nuovi paesaggi all' insegna della consapevolezza e di un' etica salubre – che è ben lungi dal binomio di prezzo e valore in cui il prezzo è portatore di un qualsiasi valore, un leitmotiv dell' attuale società mercificata – annuncerà lunedì 15 aprile 2019 a Londra i suoi piani per la Ribellione Internazionale in occasione di un evento di pacifica azione diretta e disobbedienza civile che avrà luogo in diverse are di cui saranno protagonisti diversi temi: "This is an emergency" ("Questa è un' emergenza") a Marble Arch, "Tell the truth"("Dici la verità") a Oxford Circus, "Act now"("Agisci adesso") a Waterloo Bridge- XR London Garden Bridge, "Beyond politics" ("Al di là della politica") a Parliament Square e "The heart" ("Il cuore") a Piccadilly Circus. Ribelli di tutto il mondo, che cosa aspettate, unitevi!
