Ta Moko is a visual language which connects the person who has it to his “whakapapa”.
Whakapapa is the family, it’s the genealogical tree, so there is nothing which links religion to Ta Moko.
Ta Moko symbolises identification with their origins.
It is considered to be beautiful but ferocious because they have to frighten their enemies.
The Maori facial tattoo was used as a kind of “identification card”.
These tattoos look like animals or geometric shapes.
The most popular tattoo is “the tortoise”.
The technique of making tattooes leaves scars.
Traditional tools to make Ta Moko are albatross bone chisels and black ink.
A Maori tattoo takes a lot of time to do; generally the Maori people start tattooing themselves in adolescence and they finish in adulthood.
They take years to be finished.
But a real Ta Moko is very painful.
The tattoo artist removes your skin by making wide cuts with a mallet and either a Turtle scale or an Albatross bone.
So it takes a long time and you suffer a lot.
Boys start to be tattooed around adolescence but  we don’t know when women can start to be tattooed.
The number of tattooes they have depends on their age, what the people have done in their lives and the place of the person in the tribe.
For Maoris these tattooes are like a diary because they are a written record of all the important events and places a man has experienced in his life.
Sekkizhar is a Tamil poet and scholar.
He lived during the period of Kulothunga Chola II.
He was considered an excellent poet.
Sekkizhar wrote Periya Puranam.
It was originally 4253 poems describing the lives of 63 Shaiva Nayanars.
Life of Sekkizhar
Sekkizhar was born in the village of Kundrathur in Kancheepuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
He was a scholar in vedas as well as Tirumurai (later his work was also been added as a tirumurai).
His real name is Ramadevan.
He was an inmate in a Vaishnavite shrine near Kanchipuram.
He started his works of Periya Puranam when he was in Chidambaram.
Among all Puranas in Tamil, Sekkizhar's Periya Puranam stands first.
Kulothunga Chola II began to restore Tamil Shaivism that was begun by his ancestors because he was a great devotee of Lord Nataraja (Shiva) at Chidambaram.
The king called upon Sekkizhar to compose a poem on the life of Shaiva saints.
In Tamil literature, Periya Puranam, the great poem works of Sekkizhar is considered the fifth veda.
It had also took place as the twelfth tirumarai or Shiva canon.
Turkish Airlines Flight 981 was a regular flight operated by Turkish Airlines, from Istanbul to London Heathrow, with an extra stop in Paris.
The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10.
On March 3, 1974, the airplane crashed into the Ermenonville Forest, shortly after it had left Paris.
All 346 people on board were killed in the accident.
An investigation after the crash found out that one of the cargo doors at the rear of the aircraft was not properly closed and secured.
After takeoff, part of the door broke off and caused an explosion in the rear of the aircraft.
The explosion also damaged cables needed to fly the aircraft.
This meant that after the explosion, the aircraft could not be completely controlled.
Earlier problem
An American Airlines DC-10, flying as American Airlines Flight 96, had experienced the same problem about  two years earlier.
At that time, the crew had managed to land the plane safely.
On the ground it was discovered the rear cargo door had opened in flight.
This caused damage to the fuselage but not the explosive damage in the case of Turkish 981.
The two planes were also configured differently above the baggage compartment.
There were three rows of seats added to Turkish 981 which added a greater load to the floor.
When the cargo door blew out, the additional seats and passengers were ejected from the plane before the crash.
Both planes experienced uncontrolled decompression when the cargo door latches failed.
But Turkish 981 had additional damage to the plane that may have made it uncontrollable in flight.
An Airworthiness Directive was immediately issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FFA).
It called for strengthening the load floor and control cables.
It also required improving the electrical wiring having to do with the cargo door.
The crash
After takeoff the plane reached an altitude of  when the rear hatch cover blew off.
The flight was over Coulommiers, France at the time.
A rapid decompression caused the last two rows of seats to be sucked through a large hole in the plane.
There were six passengers in the seats who were killed when they fell into a field in St. Pathus.
The plane remained in the air another 90 seconds while the pilots tried to regain control.
It hit the ground at about  killing the remaining 340 people onboard.
The plane almost completely disintegrated leaving only 40 bodies that were intact.
The First Officer was Oral Ulusman age 38, he has been with Turkish Airlines for five years.
And had a total of 5,589 flight hours.

Tryptophan (Trp or W) is encoded by the codon UGG.
It is an α-amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins.
Tryptophan has an α-amino group (which is in the –NH3+ form under biological conditions), and an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated –COO− form under biological conditions).
It also has a side chain indole, which makes it a non-polar aromatic amino acid.
Tryptophan is essential to humans: the body cannot synthesize it, so it must be got from the diet.

Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ( , "the false messiah", or "the deceiver") is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology.
He is to appear, pretending to be al-Masih (i.e. the Messiah), before Yawm al-Qiyamah (the Day of Resurrection).
According to Islamic belief, at the end of days he will gather together everyone he has deceived into a great army.
His army will then confront the Messiah and his army.
The Dajjal is not mentioned directly in the Qur'an.
This may be because he is only human and is mentioned in the future.
It is thought to be the remains of a huge meteorite strike.
Its centre is in the Northern Territory, about halfway between Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Mount Conner.
The crater is about 600 km (370 mi) in diameter.
There is a wider ring 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) in diameter which may be related to the impact.
If it is confirmed, MAPCIS would be the largest impact structure on Earth.
It is not confirmed at present.
The age of this hypothetical impact is about 545 mya.
This puts it just before the Cambrian period.

Immortals is a 2011 American adventure-fantasy movie directed by Tarsem Singh.
It is loosely based on the myths of Theseus, the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.
The movie it stars Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto and Mickey Rourke.
It was released on November 11, 2011.
But it was a commercial success.
Before the age of man or beast, the immortals wage war on each other in the heavens.
The winners become the gods.
The losers become the Titans who were imprisoned in Mount Tartarus.
During the war, a powerful weapon called the Epirus Bow was lost.
In 1228 B.C., the Heraklion king Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), lays waste to Greece searching for the bow.
With it he can free the Titans and destroy the gods who failed to save his wife and children from dying of disease.
Hyperion captures the virgin oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto), in the hopes that her psychic visions will help him locate the bow.
Meanwhile, the people of a village prepare to flee to Mount Tartarus to escape from Hyperion's soldiers.
One of them is the warrior Theseus (Henry Cavill).
He was mentored by a mysterious old man (John Hurt).
Theseus and his mother Aethra (Anne Day-Jones) are considered as outcasts as he is the product of Aethra being raped.
They are forced to stay behind by soldiers from Athens including Lysander (Joseph Morgan).
Theseus beats off multiple opponents until the Athenian officer Helios (Peter Stebbings) has Lysander dismissed for his actions.
Lysander travels to Hyperion offering him his service the location of the village.
The king accepts but labels Lysander a traitor and, to punish him, has his testicles hammered, so he is unable to produce children.
Hyperion's soldiers attack the village and, after murdering Aethra and the villagers, take Theseus captive.
It is revealed that the old man in Zeus  (Luke Evans).
He warns his fellows gods Athena (Isabel Lucas), Poseidon (Kellan Lutz), Ares (Daniel Sharman), Heracles (Steve Byers) and Apollo (Corey Sevier) not to interfere with mortal affairs unless the Titans are freed and they must have faith in the humans to defeat Hyperion.
Theseus is enslaved alongside the thief Stavros (Stephen Dorff).
Phaedra, who is being held prisoner nearby, sees a vision of Theseus and organizes a riot, and Theseus uses the chaos to escape with Stavros and the other slaves.
Theseus attempts to pursue Hyperion by hijacking a boat, but he and his allies are attacked by Hyperion's soldiers.
Poseidon deliberately disobeys Zeus by diving into the sea from Olympus and causing a tidal wave which drowns Hyperion's men.
When Phaedra sees a vision of Theseus standing near a shrouded corpse, she determines he must return to bury his mother.
Despite Theseus's scepticism, his mother believed in the gods and therefore must receive a proper burial.
While laying Aethra to rest in the village labyrinth, Theseus discovers the bow embedded in rock.
He frees it, but Hyperion's henchman Minotaur attacks him; though he succeeds in killing the monster, Theseus collapses from poisoned wounds.
Phaedra heals Theseus, and later falls in love with him.
The two have sex, stripping her of the prophecies she deemed a curse.
As Hyperion's forces gather at Mount Tartarus, the party travel to Phaedra's temple, and Theseus loses the bow in an ambush.
Outnumbered by Hyperion's men, Ares, going against Zeus's orders, directly intervenes by fighting the soldiers, and Athena provides Theseus and Stavros with horses to reach Tartarus.
Zeus arrives and angrily kills Ares for his defiance, letting his death be a warning to the gods, and that the mortals will no longer receive divine support, and must justify the faith he has in Theseus, before leaving with Athena.
The stolen bow is brought to Hyperion.
Theseus, Stavros and Phaedra travel to Mount Tartarus, where he tries to no avail to warn the Greek king Cassander of Hyperion's plans.
Cassander dismisses his talk of the gods as myth, intending to negotiate a peace treaty with Hyperion.
The next day, Hyperion uses the bow to fell the walls of Tartarus, which are seemingly impregnable.
Theseus leads the Greek forces against Hyperion, and kills Lysander.
Hyperion ignores the battle, storms through to Mount Tartarus, killing Helios and Cassander and using the bow to release the Titans, with the force of the release knocking the mortals down.
Unable to escape the vault, Stavros kills a Titan to buy Theseus time to escape, before sacrificing himself.
Zeus leads the gods in a battle against the Titans while Theseus fights Hyperion, and while they are more than a match, the gods are overwhelmed by sheer numbers, with all but Zeus and Poseidon dying.
While Zeus collapses the mountain onto the Titans, Theseus kills Hyperion.
As the mountain collapses, Zeus ascends to the heavens with Athena's body and a wounded Poseidon.
The collapsing mountain decimates Hyperion's forces, and the dying Theseus is rewarded with a place among the immortals.
Years later, Theseus's story has become legend, and Phaedra is raising his son Acamas, who has inherited her gift of prophecy.
The boy is visited by Zeus as an old man, who informs him he will become a warrior like his father and mustn't fear his visions.
Acamas has a vision of Theseus leading an army of gods in a battle in the sky with the Titans.

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a tool for figuring out risk of stock profit or losses (called returns).
It makes an assumption, which is that investors care only about two things: the average returns of stocks over, for example, ten years, and the volatility of annual returns around that average during the same period.
The main result of the model is that the return of a stock can be broken down in the sum of two things: a risk-free rate and a risk premium.
This risk premium can be seen as the product of two things: a measure of the risk of the stock (called the "beta") and the average reward for risk in the market (the "equity risk premium", which is the return of the market over and above the risk-free rate).
Wisconsin in the American Civil War, being a northern state, fought for the Union.
When the Civil War started, Wisconsin raised 91,379 soldiers for the Union Army.
They were organized into 53 infantry regiments, 4 cavalry regiments, a company of Berdan's sharpshooters, 13 light artillery batteries and 1 unit of heavy artillery.
Most of the Wisconsin troops served in the Western Theater.
However, several regiments served in Eastern armies, including three regiments within the famed Iron Brigade.
A total of 3,794 were killed in action or mortally wounded.
Another 8,022 died of disease.
About 400 were killed in accidents.
The total casualties were 12,216 men.
This was about 13.4 percent of total Wisconsin enlistments.
Approximately 1 in 9 residents (regardless of age, sex or qualification for service) served in the army.
In turn, half the eligible voters served.
Wisconsin was the only state to organize replacements for troops that had already been sent to war.
This led northern generals to prefer having Wisconsin regiments in their command if possible.
A number of Wisconsin regiments were distinguished, including three that served in the celebrated "Iron Brigade"&mdash.
These were the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 7th Wisconsin.
All were noted for their hard fighting and dashing appearance.
They were among the only troops in the Army of the Potomac to wear Hardee hats and long frock coats.
They suffered severely at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.
The 8th Wisconsin, another hard-fighting regiment, was often accompanied into battle by its mascot, Old Abe, a bald eagle.
Women during the war
While men were fighting, many women needed to learn how to farm and do other manual labor.
Besides having to tend to the home and children while the men were away at war, women also contributed supplies.
Quilts and blankets were often given to soldiers.
Other items women often sent included: shirts, sheets, pillows, pillowcases, coats, vests, trousers, towels, handkerchiefs, socks, bandages, canned fruits, dried fruits, butter, cheese, wine, eggs, pickles, books, and magazines.
At one point, after the Battle of Resaca in Georgia, women sent every wounded man within a certain distance a fresh orange or lemon.
These fruits were to quench the strong thirst that was known to accompany a wound.

John Howard Northrop (July 5, 1891 – May 27, 1987) was an American biochemist.
He shared the 1946 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with James Batcheller Sumner and Wendell Meredith Stanley.
Northrop was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1949.
He was employed by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City from 1916 until his retirement in 1961.
In 1949 he was appointed Professor of Bacteriology and later, Professor of Biophysics at the University of California, Berkeley.
California in the American Civil War was involved in sending gold east, recruiting volunteer soldiers to replace regular army forces in the Western United States and in maintaining and building numerous camps and fortifications.
The State of California did not send its units east, but many citizens traveled east and joined the Union Army.
California's Volunteers also conducted many operations against the Native American peoples within the state and in the other Western territories of the Departments of the Pacific and New Mexico.
Following the Gold Rush, California was settled primarily by Midwestern and Southern farmers, miners and businessmen.
Democrats dominated the state from its foundation.
Southern Democrats were sympathetic to the Confederate States of America who seceded, but they were a minority group in the state.
California businessmen played a significant role in Californian politics through their control of mines, shipping, finance, and the Republican Party.
But they were a minority party until the secession crisis.
From statehood to the Civil War
When California was admitted as a state under the Compromise of 1850, Californians had already decided it was to be a free state.
The constitutional convention of 1849 unanimously abolished slavery.
As a result, Southerners in Congress voted against admission in 1850 while Northerners pushed it through, pointing to its population of 93,000 and its vast wealth in gold.
Northern California, which was dominated by mining, shipping, and commercial elites of San Francisco, favored becoming a state.
In the United States presidential election, 1856, California gave its electoral votes to the winner, James Buchanan.
Southern California's attempts at secession
Following California's admission to the Union, Californios and pro-slavery Southerners in lightly populated, rural Southern California attempted three times in the 1850s to achieve a separate statehood or territorial status.
The last attempt, the Pico Act of 1859, was passed by the California State Legislature.
It was signed by the State governor John B. Weller and approved overwhelmingly by voters in the proposed Territory of Colorado.
The proposal was sent to Washington, D.C. with a strong advocate in Senator Milton Latham.
However the secession crisis following the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 led to the proposal never coming to a vote.
In 1860 Lincoln won 38,733 popular votes, only 32% of the total.
But it was enough to win all four of California's electoral votes.
California volunteers called up
On July 24, 1861, the Secretary of War called on the Governor of California for enlisted volunteer to guard the overland mail route from Carson City to Salt Lake City.
They were also to guard Fort Laramie.
The initial call was for five companies of cavalry plus one regiment of Infantry.
On August 14,  four more regiments of infantry and one regiment of cavalry were requested.
They were to report to General Edwin Vose Sumner.
These volunteers replaced the regular troops transferred to the east before the end of 1861.
California would have to protect itself using its own manpower during the Civil War.
The fight for California
Both the Union and the Confederacy wanted California's gold.
Ulysses S. Grant once said "I do not know what we would do in this great national emergency if it were not for the gold sent from California."
The Confederates also needed ports that were not being blockaded by the Union Navy.
If they could get control of Southern California it would give them the ports it badly needed.
Southern California had a number of Southerners who moved to California during the Gold Rush.
While they were a minority, they wanted Southern California to secede from the Union and join the Confederate states.
At the time, Northern California was very pro-Union.
A number of pro-Confederate groups were organized in Southern California.
These included the Los Angeles Mounted Rifles and chapters of the Knights of the Golden Circle, a secret pro-slavery organization.
The pro-Union state militias and Union forces used a number of forts and camps in California.
One of the best known is Alcatraz Island.
Before it was a federal prison, it was a prisoner of war camp for Confederate prisoners.
The last army fort still standing is the Drum Barracks.
It was the headquarters of the Union Army in Southern California and the Arizona Territory.

Palisade cells are special cells in the leaves of plants.
They are the main place where photosynthesis takes place.
Their function is to absorb light so photosynthesis can take place.
They have the largest number of chloroplasts per cell of any plant tissue, which makes them the main site of photosynthesis.
In the leaves of plants, they convert the light to chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.
The cells are just below the epidermis and cuticle.
Extermination through labour is a way of torturing and killing prisoners.
In a system of extermination by labour, prisoners are forced to do very heavy work without enough food or medical care.
Eventually, prisoners die from malnutrition, illness, or injury.
Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union both had systems of extermination through labor.
Some people describe North Korea's prison system as a system of extermination through labor.
Use as a term
The term "extermination through labor" was first used during World War II.
Most of the Nazi SS did not use the term (Vernichtung durch Arbeit in German).
However, Albert Bormann, Joseph Goebels, Otto Georg Thierack, and Heinrich Himmler used the term during the fall of 1942, while talking about moving prisoners to concentration camps.
Thierack and Goebbels specifically used the term.
The phrase was used again during the Nuremberg Trials after World War II ended.
In the 1980s and 1990s, historians have argued over whether this term is appropriate.
For example, Falk Pingel believed the phrase should not be applied to all Nazi prisoners.
On the other hand, Hermann Kaienburg and Miroslav Kárný believed "extermination through labour" was one of the SS's specific goals.
More recently, Jens-Christian Wagner has also argued that not all Nazi prisoners were targeted with death, so "extermination through labor" might not be the best way to describe the Nazis' goals for those prisoners.
The Nazis also persecuted people who were "German-blooded," but who the Nazis thought of as "social misfits" (aisoziale).
The Nazis said these people led useless "ballast-lives" (Ballastexiltenzen).
Families with many children who depended on welfare
People accused of being "vagrant" or "transient" (homeless)
The Nazis lists of these people and persecuted them in many ways.
For example, some were forced to be sterilized.
Many were eventually sent to prison camps for "extermination through labor."
Along with them, anyone who spoke out against the Nazi regime (like communists, social democrats, democrats, and conscientious objectors) were sent to prison camps.
Many of them did not survive.
They were not paid in any way
Workers were constantly watched to prevent escape or rest
Work was physically very hard (for example, building roads, working on farms, and working in factories, especially making weapons)
Working hours were long (often 10–12 hours per day)
Workers were fed very little
Workers had very little hygiene, medical care, or needed clothing
Abuse and Torture
Workers were also tortured and physically abused.
For example, victims of Torstehen ("Gate Hanging") had to stand outside naked with their arms raised – like a gate hanging on its hinges.
When they collapsed or passed out, they would be beaten until they re-assumed the position.
Victims of Pfahlhängen ("Post Attachment") were tied with their hands behind their back and were hung by their hands on a tall stake.
This would dislocate the prisoner's arm joints, and the pressure would be kill them within hours.
During the Holocaust, the Nazis built concentration camps and then extermination camps to imprison their victims.
These "camps" were not just prisons.
Their goal was not just to keep people locked up.
Their goal was to torture and destroy people.
All parts of camp life came along with humiliation and harassment.
Forced labour was a part of this.
Prisoners were whipped and treated like animals.
Some forced labor was meant to help the German war machine grow.
However, other prisoners were forced to do pointless heavy labor just to wear them down.
There were "no limits to working hours," according to official Nazi policy.
Death rates
A slave worker on a work assignment usually lived less than four months, on average.
Up to 25,000 of the 35,000 prisoners forced to work for IG Farben at Auschwitz concentration camp died.
Some died from exhaustion or disease.
Others were killed after the Nazis decided they were not healthy enough to work any more.
Some work assignments were deadlier than others.
Some prisoners were assigned to dig tunnels for German weapons factories during the last months of the war.
About 30% of them died.
In the satellite camps, which were near mines and industrial firms, death rates were even higher.
In these satellite camps, the supplies were often even less adequate than in the main camps.
In the Soviet Union
Some historians call the Soviet Gulag a system of death camps, particularly in post-Communist Eastern European politics.
Other historians argue that this trivializes the Holocaust (makes the Holocaust seems like it was not so bad) because, at least after the war ended, a very large majority of people who entered the Gulag left alive.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn introduced the expression camps of extermination by labour in his non-fiction work The Gulag Archipelago.
In the book, Solzhenitsyn argues that the Soviet Union beat its enemies by making them work as prisoners on big state-run projects (like the White Sea-Baltic Canal, quarries, remote railroads, and urban development projects) under terrible conditions.
Roy Medvedev comments: "The penal system in the Kolyma and in the camps in the north was deliberately designed for the extermination of people."
Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev writes that Stalin was the "architect of the gulag system for totally destroying human life."
According to formerly secret internal Gulag documents, some 1.6 million people must have died in the period between 1935 and 1956 in Soviet forced labour camps and colonies.
This does not include people who died in prisoner-of-war camps.
Most (about 900,000) of these deaths fell between 1941 and 1945.
At that time, World War II was ongoing, and food supplies were low in the entire country.
Russian historian Oleg Khlevniuk writes that about 500,000 people died in the camps and colonies from 1930 to 1941.
However, these figures do not include people who died in transport (on their way to the camps).
It also does not include the number of people who died shortly after their release due to the harsh treatment in the camps (there were many of these people, according to both archives and memoirs).
Historian J. Otto Pohl estimates that 2,749,163 prisoners died in the labour camps, colonies, and special settlements.
He says this figure is incomplete.
In 2010, Stanford historian Norman Naimark wrote a book called Stalin's Genocides.
Naimark said scholars should change the word genocide so that it also meant killing people because they were in a social class or had political beliefs so that Stalin's killings would count as genocide.

The Lagerordnung (the "Disciplinary and Penal Code") was a set of rules for punishing prisoners at Dachau concentration camp in Nazi Germany.
On January 1, 1934, the Lagerordnung became the official rules of every concentration camp in Nazi Germany.
Also known as the Strafkatalog (Punishment Catalogue), it set out the rules the prisoners had to follow.
SS guards were told to report to the camp commandant when a prisoner broke a rule.
The Concentration Camps Inspectorate was in charge of carrying out punishment.
They did this without making sure the prisoner had actually broken the rule.
Once they were accused, prisoners had no way of proving themselves innocent.
Evolution of a new penal system
At first, the Nazis had built temporary concentration camps, like Kemna concentration camp.
These earlier camps did not have common, agreed-upon rules.
Instead, they took the Lagerordnung from rules that were often used in police departments and prisons at the time.
There was not much difference between the rules at the early concentration camps.
Some did not allow smoking; others allowed prisoners to receive food parcels or visits from family members.
The rules were still based on existing laws, and the camps were patterned after ordinary prisons.
The early camps had penalties like having privileges taken away, or for more severe cases, solitary confinement, a hard bed, not being given food, or being left in solitary confinement in a darkened cell.
However, there was no corporal punishment.
The early camps were primarily controlled by the SA or the Gestapo.
However, Dachau was under the control of the SS.
Sometime in May 1933, SS camp commandant Hilmar Wäckerle wrote the first Lagerordnung for a concentration camp.
It gave all legal powers to the camp commandant.
The Dachau Lagerordnung allowed prisoners to be executed based on a decision from two SS men who had been chosen by the commandant.
The accused prisoner would no longer have a defense.
The executive, judicial, and legislative parts of government were all placed together under the camp commandant's power.
There would be no system of checks and balances.
The threat of the death penalty was always there, which created a constant state of emergency for Dachau's inmates.
The first legalized murders took place at Dachau.
(There would never be as many political murders in any of the other, earlier concentration camps than there were in Dachau's first few months.)
Sophie Handschuh, the mother of one of the murdered prisoners, filed a formal complaint to find out what had really happened to her son.
The resulting prosecution forced Himmler to replace Wäckerle.
Himmler chose Theodor Eicke, a fanatical SS-Oberführer who had, in March 1933, been committed for evaluation at a psychiatric clinic at the University of Würzburg due to extremely violent behavior.
Himmler arranged for Eicke to be released, asking his doctor, Werner Heyde, to talk to Eicke and get him to promise to control himself.
Expanded to all camps
Six months later, on October 1, 1933, Commandant Eicke wrote a second edition of the Lagerordnung, adding the Postenpflicht and introducing corporal punishment (flogging).
The Lagerordnung established a "state within a state."
The second edition established an orderly system in which "legally" arrested political opponents could be tortured and executed.
After January 1, 1934, all subsequent versions of the Lagerordnung were effective for all SS-run concentration camps.
The Disciplinary and Penal Code
These rules are added on to the list of rules Dachau already has.
Its goal is to keep order and discipline at Dachau.
They apply to all prisoners, all the time.
[The camp commandant has complete and total authority to punish prisoners.
He is in charge of implementing these rules.]
Tolerance means weakness.
Realizing this, there will be a ruthless grip there, where, in the interests of the fatherland, it appears necessary.
The decent, incited [sic] Volksgenosse will not come into contact with these penalties.
But to the politicizing rabble-rouser and intellectual agitator — regardless of which direction — let it be said, beware, that you're not nabbed, otherwise you'll be grabbed by the neck and after your own recipe, [sic] made to hold your peace.
["Tolerance means peace."
People who speak out against Germany will be punished badly.
People who mind their own business and do not question Germany will not be punished this way.
But people who try to cause trouble by getting people upset about politics will be forced to be quiet.]
Whoever shirks his work or feigns physical deficiency or disease with the aim of being idle.
Whoever leaves a work place or workshop without command, prematurely backs in, fails [at quitting time] to check out with the supervising SS man, checks out at quitting time with a fellow prisoner.
