I made some BBQ sauce from a recipe that Sandman had given me and a sample that tasted great. It was by Dr. Chris Gafford called The Doctors Medicine and Sandman got it from his BBQ Bible cook book. He said he tried it on pulled pork but thought it would be great on chicken and I agreed.
My usual method lately for chicken was to brine a spatchcocked bird overnight and let air dry several hours in the fridge before smoking. I would then season and smoke it for ½ hour at 200 deg. and then go to 325 to 350 deg. until a breast temp of 180 to 185 deg. which was done in about another hour? I liked the 180 deg. breast temp since my chicken was always done throughout.
I ended up using this method in quest of crispy skin which you don't get at low and slow on a smoker. Using my Traeger pellet smoker I was not getting much smoke flavor at the higher temps. I searched the net for low and slow BBQ chicken and liked one that did it for 6 hours at 250 deg. He brined the spatchcocked chicken for 8 hours then did it 3 hours skin side down then turned and basted it with BBQ sauce several times the last 3 hours. He was looking for a breast temp of 185 deg. I think he had a 5 to 6 lb. chicken.
I had a 4 lb. bird to use, spatchcocked and brined about 10 hours then rinsed and dried and air dried in the fridge for 4 hours. I thought 6 hours was too much so I decided to do mine for 4 hours. I seasoned it with Panzey's Balena St. rub. I got it on at 2:00 skin side down and averaged about 235 deg. grill level. After 1 ½ hours I brushed some of the sauce on the bottom side and at 2 hours I turned the bird skin side up. I then upped the temp and basted it every half hour with more sauce. I had to go to 300deg. the last 20 minutes to get my desired breast temp. The next time I will do at 250 deg. grill level for the whole cook. My Savannah Stoker V3 controller did a great job holding temps and my grill level temps were 6 to 10 deg. higher than the RTD temps.
I had some potato salad made ahead and steamed some corn on the cob for my sides. The potato salad I adapted from a recipe by Ina Garten and is pretty good. The wife and I both loved the chicken, moist and fall apart tender with a little more smoke flavor than I usually get. My wife had a breast half and I had the leg thigh quarter. I did eat some of the skin and the meat was some of the best chicken I have done in a while with a little BBQ taste.
I pulled and shredded the half that was left and added some of the BBQ sauce. I just tasted some of it today and was super. The sauce really goes well with the chicken and will make great sandwiches. I think by adding some horseradish and hot sauce it will be good as a shrimp dip too.

Content server: No way to return after footnote
|Assigned to
Bug Description
In the new web reader, clicking on a footnote number in the text will take me to the footnote (usually at the end of the book), but there is no way to get back to the main text. When I right-click to reveal the menu and click "Back" it closes the book and returns to the list of books, instead of going back to the main text.
Calibre 3.0.0
Linux openSuse
Thank you for fixing this.
I cannot replicate this, clicking any link in a book, including a
footnote link, takes me to the page of the link and clicking back,
either in the viewer controls or the browser back button, takes me back
to the original page (or in a few rare cases the page before it).
The only caveat is that if you click back immediately after clicking the
link it wont work (you have to wait approx. a second).

It's that time of year again. Syracuse and Georgetown. The two teams faced off back on February 9th in the Carrier Dome, a game that Georgetown won. The first time the Hoyas knocked off the Orangemen in Syracuse since 2002. The sun shines even on a dogs ass some days.
The Cuse were seemingly in control that day as the clock wound down, with Syracuse up 53-49 with 5:37 left in the game. Unfortunately down the stretch the then #13 Orangemen only scored 3 more points the rest of the game (all from the foul line) and the #11 Hoyas kept scoring (like most college teams do when the game is 40 minutes long) and as Syracuse's mistakes and missed shots mounted, the end result culminated in a 64-56 victory for the road team.
On that day senior guard Chris Wright had 6 points and 9 assists for the Hoyas on 2 for 8 shooting from the floor. Wright, who averages 13.1 points and 5.4 assists per contest and scored a season high 26 points in South Florida on February 19th, will not be available for the #11 ranked Hoyas Saturday afternoon. Chris Wright suffered a broken left hand on Wednesday against Cincinnati and underwent surgery on Thursday.
Speaking of the game against Cincinnati, the Bearcats went into the Verizon Center and absolutely stunned the Georgetown faithful who assembled at Syracuse's home away from home in Washington D.C. The Bearcats upset the Hoyas 58-46 on Syracuse's 3rd home court, in front of 13,241 fans. No word on whether or not Georgetown restricted ticket sales to Cincinnati fans.
Which brings me to my next point. The Georgetown Hoyas are absolutely terrified of the Syracuse Orangemen. They are so petrified of the Syracuse Orangemen's rabid fan base that they have gone WELL out of their way to not sell any tickets to Syracuse fans.
Frankly, I don't blame them. Next year they will probably wise up and not sell tickets to Cincinnati Bearcat fans either. In fact, any team that beats them at home will probably lose the "privilege" of purchasing tickets to a Georgetown game in the Verizon Center. I guess the Board of Trustees who came up with this hair brained scheme never heard of Stubhub or Craigslist or Ebay?
Additionally, I read online that there will be some 400 level tickets sold for $25 with no student ID required. So I guess that whole "we're not selling tickets to Syracuse fans" plan didn't work out so well? Guess there weren't as many Georgetown fans as the Hoya's banked on when they devised this little scheme of theirs.
As for Syracuse, the Orangemen are coming off a big win in Philadelphia, PA on Monday night against the #14/15 Villanova Wildcats behind a 20 point performance from our own enigmatic point guard Scoop Jardine, a Philadelphia native. Rick Jackson, Scoop Jardine's high school teammate (which I am sure you didn't know), chipped in 18 points 5 rebounds and 4 blocks playing in his final game in his hometown in a Syracuse uniform.
The Orangemen, who don't restrict ticket sales to any fan base, will roll into the Verizon Center on a three game winning streak. A win on Saturday over the Hated Hoyas will go a long way towards securing a top four seed in the Big East Tournament on Syracuse's other home floor, Madison Square Garden.
With so many home courts and so much home court advantage it's almost hard to keep track of them all! Thankfully Georgetown's athletic department administrators are there to keep our houses in order. The Verizon Center may very well not be one of our home floors if they are going this far to keep our beloved fans out.
But I will say this. The Orange clad fans who do make it into the building on Saturday afternoon are going to be revved up and fired up in a way that Georgetown fans may not be ready for. Nothing lights a fire under a fan base like being told that the host school does not want you there.
Hopefully there are so many "Let's Go Orange" chants emanating from the crowd that the Hoyas fans that Georgetown does manage to find have nightmares and auditory hallucinations for a month (which will be longer than I expect Georgetown's season to last).
Be sure to tune into CBS at 12:00PM to catch all the action as the #17/20 Syracuse Orangemen take on the #11 Georgetown Hoyas. As always, be sure to check back in with The Cuse Connection following the game for a complete recap and analysis of the action.

In the file [cfmx_home]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\jrun-web.xml, add the following line within the existing <jrun-web-app> element:
Restart the server. CFMX will now reload classes from [cfmx_home]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes as well as classes in jar/zip archives in [cfmx_home]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib.
Note: The [cfmx_home]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes directory must contain class files only, not class archives. Java class archives belong under the [cfmx_home]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib directory
I forgot to mention the
trueoption as well. This will cause CF to automatically compile classes as well, when the class is requested. This is really a neat option since when compiling things yourself you need know how to get to the command line, run the java compiler, remember to provide the same classpath that CFMX would use when running the class, then remember to put the file in the correct directory. With this autocompile feature, CF not only does the compile for you but also uses its classpath and compiles it right where the source code exists. So for working with servlets, for instance, just put your servlet right in the WEB-INF/classes directory and call it, and CF will compile it for you if it's not already been compiled. And if it's been changed since last compiled and the reload and compile options are enabled, it will both compile and reload it. Nifty!

I was first exposed to 28 Days Later during my brief stint at the NC School of the Arts. I remember a whole bunch of my fellow student filmmakers flocking to the theater to see this great, new spin on zombie movies. Or something. Back then, horror really wasn't my thing, and I didn't much care for it. So I took a pass. Cut to 2004, the year of the Dawn of the Dead remake and Shaun of the Dead. All of a sudden, I'm fascinated by zombie flicks. So I decide to check out 28 Days Later.
What I expected was a cheaply produced, gimmicky horror movie with little in the way of actual plot. What I GOT was a horror movie that knew exactly how to go about putting the screws to the viewer within a scenario that still today seems very, very plausible. Of course, a virus that turns people into rage-infected killers is pure science fiction, but the way that Danny Boyle sets up his film is what hooked me. Typically, post-apocalyptic films will show you the world in the process of ending, with mass hysteria, people fleeing into the streets screaming, cities burning, that whole bit. But in 28 Days Later, what you see is a world where the world has already ended, and survivors struggle to pick up the pieces (and, y'know, survive).
Watching it again tonight, the first time in four years, I'm less invested in the story and more interested in the aesthetic of the piece. For a movie that was famously filmed on prosumer Canon video cameras, a number of the shots are really gorgeous. The wide vistas of open landscape, city streets, and long highway shots go a long way in establishing just how desolate the Britain landscape has become since the outbreak, and work to connect us with Jim (Cillian Murphy), Selena (Naomie Harris), and Frank (Brendan Gleason) more than we might have had the film followed a scheme of tight closeups and static shots. Speaking of which, with the cameras light and free to move, the film really, really moves. Fast camera motions and faster editing do a great job of keeping pace with the film's plot.
Of course, the one thing that didn't sit well with me in 2004 still bothers me today. The whole final act that takes place in the military compound is protracted and strange. I get the commentary that Boyle's trying to work with, it's something that was maybe done a little better in Day of the Dead (more on that film soon...). Christopher Eccleston is good as the outfit's leader, he's fittingly deranged and aggressive. But once the film goes this direction, it veers off dangerously into Rambo territory as Jim becomes quasi-feral and almost zombie-like in his rescue of Selena and Hannah (Megan Burns). It never quite fit with the rest of the movie.
I guess what I'll leave you with is the fact that as good as the characterization and aesthetic is in 28 Days Later, the thematic and horror elements work much, much better in the sequel, 28 Weeks Later.

Senshio is indicated for moderate to severe symptomatic vulvar and vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women who are not candidates for vaginal oestrogen therapy. It is the first non-hormonal treatment specifically licensed for this indication.
Ospemifene has an almost full oestrogen agonist effect on the vaginal epithelium, where it increases cell maturation and mucification. Like the other SERMs raloxifene, tamoxifen and toremifene, ospemifene antagonises the effects of oestrogen on breast tissue. It has a neutral or slight oestrogenic effect in the endometrium and agonist-like activity on bone.
Senshio is formulated as a 60mg tablet which is taken once daily.
Vulvar and vaginal atrophy
The safety and efficacy of ospemifene for the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy were determined in three randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials involving a total of 1889 women. Two were of 12 weeks' duration; the third was of 52 weeks' duration and primarily assessed safety.
Women included in the two 12-week studies were postmenopausal, aged between 40 and 80 years and generally healthy. Baseline requirements were ≤5% superficial cells in the vaginal smear, a vaginal pH of >5 and at least one moderate or severe symptom of vulvovaginal atrophy.
The four co-primary endpoints, for which change from baseline was assessed, were the percentage of parabasal and superficial cells in the vaginal smear, vaginal pH and the severity of the most bothersome symptom.
In the first trial, the 276 women randomised to receive ospemifene 60mg daily showed significant favourable changes in all 4 co-primary endpoints (including the most bothersome symptoms of dyspareunia and vaginal atrophy) after 12 weeks compared with the 268 women randomised to placebo.
In the second trial, there were significant improvements in the ospemifene 60mg group (n=160) compared with the placebo group (n=154) in all the co-primary endpoints apart from the most bothersome symptom of vaginal dryness, which approached significance.
Safety profile
Ospemifene was well tolerated in all three clinical trials. The most commonly reported side-effects were vulvovaginal candidiasis, hot flushes, genital discharge, muscle spasms, headache and rash.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- U.S. electric automaker Tesla Inc. said Monday that its Model 3 sedan has the lowest overall probability of injury for any car ever tested by U.S. traffic safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
"Model S is #2. Model X is #3. There is no safer car in the world than a Tesla," Tesla@Tesla said in a tweeted post.
The company said Model 3 provides superior safety with its front crumple zone which is optimized to absorb energy and crush upon impact, and it also has the lowest intrusion from side pole impact of any vehicle tested by the (NHTSA).
Based on the advanced architecture of Model S and Model X, Model 3 achieved a perfect 5-star safety rating in every category and sub-category after the NHTSA tested Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive as part of a series of crash tests used to calculate the likelihood of serious bodily injury for front, side and rollover crashes.
The unique architecture of Tesla 3, which has no engine but a heavy centered battery pack, adds to the car's overall agility and handling, and "improves the capability of stability control by minimizing rotational kinetic energy," said the U.S. electric automaker.
The safety report of Tesla Model 3 sedan, which is not immediately verified by the data released by the NHTSA, though, may be a booster to the company's marketing efforts following a recent record production of its electric vehicles.
On Oct. 2, Tesla announced its production of electric vehicles has hit 80,142 units in the third quarter, 50 percent more than the previous corresponding period.
Tesla said it has delivered an overall 83,500 vehicles in the third quarter, including 55,840 Model 3, 14,470 Model S, and 13,190 Model X, indicating the firm has achieved its production goals for the quarter.

Launching a mannequins business is your ticket to owning a good, stable business if you have the creativity and tenacity necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. We offer nuts-and-bolts information on the startup process.
Thinking about opening a mannequins business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
(article continues below)
Creating Business Plans for a Mannequins Business
Never underestimate the value of a good mannequins company business plan. With the right ingredients, a business plan can help your startup secure financing, attract investors and execute a strategy for growth.
To assist your efforts, you may want to consider enlisting the aid of a professional business plan writer.
Time and time again, the best entrepreneurs we see rely on professionally crafted plans to guide their decision making. However, outsourcing doesn't completely eliminate your responsibilities in the writing process.
So even though a business plan writer might be the right move for your mannequins business, you can't completely outsource business planning. Instead, you'll need to remain proactively involved throughout the writing process.
Review Competitors
Long before you open a mannequins business in your town, it's a good idea to find out how many competitors you have. Try our link below to get a list of local competitors in your city. After clicking on the link, type in your city, state and zip code to get a list of mannequins businesses near you.
Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.
Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
Fortunately, somebody who runs a mannequins business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
How does one quickly and easily locate an owner of a mannequins business in another community?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Is It Easier to Buy an Existing Mannequins Business?
As an aspiring business owner, the decisions you make now will have huge implications later, including the decision to either start a business from scratch or buy an existing mannequins business.
In general, purchased mannequins businesses fare better than startups, at least during the initial few years. When you buy an established mannequins business, you gain access to a functional business operation with a customer base and a steady revenue stream.
Entrepreneurs who are committed to a highly unique value proposition may need to pursue a startup approach. However, in today's business-for-sale marketplace, there is an abundance of mannequins businesses worth considering.
Is Franchising the Right Option?
You should know that your odds of achieving your top business goals increase if you purchase a franchise rather than going it alone.
Before you consider starting a mannequins business, it's worthwhile to check out whether franchising might help you on your entrepreneurial journey.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.

The Sacramento Living Library welcomes three journalists who cover local news from different angles: Ken Chavez is the Senior Editor for Local News at the Sacramento Bee; Jared Goyette is the Editor of the online-only Sacramento Press; and Nick Miller is Co-Editor of the Sacramento News & Review. The panelists will talk about what covering local news looks like in Sacramento, 2013. Covering ANY news is a very different animal than it was even 10 years ago, but reduced staffing, combined with the very new demands of the 24 hour news cycle present challenges--and opportunities--that simply did not exist before, especially at the local level.

Dear all
A hundred years ago this week… notable Western Front battles began: Messines, western Belgium (October 12th, BEF/German Army), Armentieres, northern France (13th, French Army-BEF/German Army), Yser, western Belgium (16th, Belgian-French Armies/German Army).
Yes, that's Armentieres as in the Mademoiselle From Armentieres, an early classic of Word War 1 Poor Bloody Infantry songcraft — ideal for marching because jaunty and infinite, given plenty of verses were "written" and then you added you're own, ribald, surreal, satirical, tragi-comical according to taste. Et voilà, a quick web search reveals 50-60 variations — no repeats, come to that! — including these choice items (many ruder than this, of course): "She's the hardest working girl in town/But she makes her living upside down!/… I fell in love with her at sight/Wacked myself for half the night/… She had four chins, her knees would knock/And her face would stop a cuckoo clock/… She could guzzle a barrel of sour wine/And eat a hog without peeling the rind/… The officers get the pie and cake/And all we get is the bellyache/… The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre/The son-of-a-gun was never there!/… You might forget the groans and yells/But you'll never forget the mademoiselles." Well, inkypinky parlee-voo, eh?
Meanwhile, in Edmonton, north London, my father Sam, older brother Ted, and their pals and fellow novice Royal Fusiliers Len and Harold made their debuts as squarebashers, marchers and — since they'd been brought up in the church and the Scouts by quite proper parents — lightly blushful listeners, hesitant singers, of coarse military rhyme.
The Battalion — 2/1st City Of London — got itself organised in the grounds of the Foundling Hospital, as was — the walled "parade ground" area is still there in Bloomsbury, south of King's Cross Station, preserved as a playground.
Roughly a thousand men assembled, Sam writes. An array of Sergeant Majors shuffled them into eight Companies of 100 each — Len in C, Ted and Harold G, Sam H, his first separation from them — the remainder "a reserve who would fill vacancies in the ranks as they occurred…" An officer explained that everything they did, no matter how dull and repetitive, had a practical purpose:
"You must all bear in mind that the movement and formations taught in military drill form the basis of control of troop movements on the battlefield… At a later stage, hand signals from the men in charge will take the place of spoken words — which, in certain circumstances, cannot be heard."
"Vacancies", "certain circumstances"; clearly, euphemism played its part from the outset…
Observing his new comrades, Sam — and time now for the weekly alert to new readers that, in the first part of the book, my father wrote in the third person and called himself "Tommy Norcliffe" — Sam/Tommy, then, reckoned that, despite lying about his age to sign up at 16, he might have an advantage in readiness over some older men because of his Boy Scout training in skills such as rifle shooting and signaling.
When Company Sergeant Major West ordered them to fall in, the lad weighed up the men on either side of him (all of them still in their ordinary clothes, no uniforms available for a while yet):
"On Tommy's left stood a man of 36, probably, wearing a cap at an unusual angle — the soft cloth pulled back and the hard peak pulled forward as far as they could possibly go. Tommy wondered if the two sections would part under the strain. Under the peak, dark inquisitive eyes moved constantly, taking in everything with keen interest; a cheerful, though pale, face with a sharp, red nose and black moustache; a soiled black jacket, dark grey trousers shiny with what appeared to be grease, and heavy, black boots completed Tommy's sidelong view of Joe Parker.
Had Joe cut his eyes to the right, he would have seen that Tommy too wore a black jacket with tight grey trousers but, instead of a cap, he wore the City office boy's hard, flat bowler. A boy in men's clothing?
A rather elderly fellow of scholarly appearance called Ewart Walker stood to Tommy's right. He looked stern, or somewhat benign, or quizzical, all dependent on what the brainy bloke was observing at any given moment. He wore grey flannel trousers, a Norfolk jacket, brown, brogue shoes and, unusually at that period, no hat to cover his cropped, grey hair."
They spent the morning on drill, just learning to start out on the left, then turn… then "Form fours!" really put the cat among the pigeons with regard to stumbling about and banging into one another.
When they got a break, Sam/Tommy chatted with "old" Joe Parker, as he thought of him. He worked as a casual porter at Billingsgate fish market, but…
"… he'd spent much of his life at sea, mainly on coastal vessels. He proceeded to describe nights ashore in small seaports, winding up with his choicest experience — his face glowed, his eyes sparkled, as he told how he put up at a lodging house once, ate a lovely meal, and shared his beer with the buxom landlady, her husband presently away at sea it turned out. Then he turned in. The bed had lovely, clean, white sheets and pillows, but to all this luxury the landlady later added the pleasure of her curvaceous body. Joe relived the delights of having her meaty legs wrapped round him until the order to fall in saved Tommy from making the expected noises of approval."
That afternoon, the Battalion undertook its first formal march through the city:
"[Lieutenant] Swickenham told the men about the march to follow. He asked them, in spite of their varied civilian garb, to bear themselves like soldiers. The eyes of many London citizens would regard them and a good impression must be aimed at.
Thus began one of many foot-slogging ventures in the course of their elementary training. This one took them along Tottenham Court Road, New Oxford Street, and Oxford Street, to Marble Arch and into Hyde Park, where they rested and did some drill before returning via a different route. They marched at attention and in complete silence for the most part, with a deal of conversation breaking out when the CSMs ordered 'March at ease!' — but all of it subdued by the unaccustomed public performance they felt they were staging.
However, the column was long, not much short of a thousand men, and probably at quite an early stage the officers began to realise that an error of judgment had occurred.
People crossing the road could not possibly wait while this long procession passed so they would try to hurry through any gap they espied. This caused pauses and broke the marching rhythm. Elderly folk would be helped by the men, pretty girls too — as the occasional shriek or squeal would attest. Policemen controlling busy crossings could not help causing gaps in the long column. So did congested traffic, especially in Oxford Street, where a bus or a lorry frequently became interposed between Companies, even though drivers of all sorts of vehicles, motor or horse-drawn, tried to let the Battalion through.
Cart and dray drivers, perched in high seats, some of them no doubt old soldiers, shouted words of sarcastic encouragement to the self-conscious recruits: 'Keep them 'eads up!' or 'Swing them arms there!', along with one or two unfavourable comparisons to another Army apparently commanded by a certain Fred Karno. But it was just cheerful banter and, provided you didn't take yourself too seriously, no offence was taken.
All the same, the officers ensured that future route marches avoided Central London and were undertaken Company by Company rather than the whole Battalion together.
But familiarity with the new routine of living soon encouraged those men who had subdued noisy and garrulous natures on that first march to commence raising their voices in joke and jibe. Some of the Cockneys' humour was amusing, some of it downright rude and embarrassing. When the Battalion marched at ease, singing would break out — and not discouraged by the CSMs because it helped to maintain a marching rhythm and to overcome boredom.
They started with innocent numbers like Clementine, Boys Of The Old Brigade, John Brown's Body and so forth, but a sort of vocal degeneration gradually set in. John Brown's Body became John Brown's Cow — it went peepee against the wall. The music hall song which went 'Our lodger is a nice young man, such a nice young man is he' lent itself to suggestions about his lewd practices. The Company officer had to lead his men and Tommy, anonymously tucked away, felt sorry for the young man who marched alone in front of this sometimes blasphemous company."
And even as they marched and sang in the streets of London, on the front line the collective musical genius of the BEF initiated its saucy extempore regarding the good lady from Armentieres…
All the best — FSS

On November 3, 1996, a black Mercedes Benz crashed into a truck driving out of a gas station in Susurluk, a small town in northwest Turkey. Of the four occupants in the luxury car, three died at the scene, and one survived. Once the identities of the occupants of the car hit the news, the phrase "deep state" (derin devlet) became a part of everyday political debates in Turkey. Because, those deceased were (1) the former deputy head of the Istanbul Police Department, (2) an ultranationalist hitman wanted on Interpol's Red List, and (3) the hitman's mistress. Furthermore, the surviving passenger was a member of the Turkish Parliament, and the leader of a Kurdish village-guard clan.
The Rise and Decline of the Turkish "Deep State": The Ergenekon Case
This article tests Mancur Olson's theory of distributional coalitions against the case of the Turkish "deep state." Olson's theory holds that rent-seeking (or special-interest) groups tend to be exclusive by nature and pursue only the interests of their own members. Since their members account to a very small minority, these groups present their interests as being the interests of larger communities. The article argues that the Turkish case confirms the fundamental assumptions of the theory of distributional coalitions. An analysis of the historical process of the newly-exposed Turkish deep state reveals that, when put in proper context, its clandestine activities manifest a pattern which involves systematic efforts of an exclusive circle of group members (1) to impact the workings of Turkish society, and more recently, (2) to reverse the country's democratization process in an effort to sustain the network's dominating influence.

Over the years, my impression of Priorat wines has been pretty consistent. This pre-phylloxera region now rediscovered and revitalised with a number of classy producers in action there. The red wines have been pretty solid, and usually black-fruited with density and structure. Garnacha is there, but also a host of other varieties including Carinyena, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot after new plantings made. The 2007 Scala Dei 'Cartoixa' I noted a couple of months ago was a good example.
One of the 'new wave' makers Alvaro Palacios has starred over the last decade plus, notably for his 'L'Ermita' Priorat, a wine of regal proportions and regal pricing. His wines have evolved to show greater elegance and now they are bright, juicy and raspberry fruity, but still with density of core, but fine-grained. He's eschewed Cabernet in favour of Carinyena as he believes it shows terroir more clearly. His accessible 2014 Alvaro Palacios 'Les Terrasses' Priorat is a perfect example. Tasting it now, you could be forgiven that it's a Garnacha that could come from anywhere, as it's so modern. Yet, originally designed as an affordable label, it has been elevated to serious 'village' status now.
But I've noticed his wines seem to age rather rapidly. With just 5 years down the track, they get pretty complex and savoury. Not as complex as say great Chateauneuf, but the wines are gamey and they grow in density. Suddenly they appear more like what I expect in Priorat, rather solid and chunky. Is it terroir reasserting itself after Alvaro's winemaking for finesse? The 2011 Alvarao Palacios 'Gratallops' Priorat is as dense and dark fruited as any from the region. Maybe it's a case of try as you may, terroir will always come through?

Like the mini world you describe here, what´s the story on the back,?
The back side is the same with the idea of giving the illusion of transparency. The differe is that the illustration is in the mirror, being flipt with 180 degrees and of course the logo is missing. Thanks Andres! :)

My jaw has been bothering me quite a bit lately. It's been a little over eight months since I was assaulted, resulting in the nondisplaced mandibular fracture that certainly doesn't feel all that nondisplaced to me.
My dentist at Surprise Smiles 😆 told me it could take up to a year for my jaw muscles to realign to the new profile of my bite. This wasn't what I wanted to hear back then, but if it will truly take that long, the good news is I have a mere four months to go.
I have sustained several physical injuries during my career as a psychiatric nurse. I also sustained several more injuries during my career as a drunken moron. These two careers overlapped each other for at least ten years, so it's hard for me to separate them sometimes. The net result is pain, and for anyone that lives with daily chronic pain, it really doesn't matter where or how it originated. You simply have to learn to live with it.
I was physically assaulted on three separate occasions during my nursing career. That averages out to one assault roughly every ten years. Somewhat oddly, I was struck in the face each time.
The first time, I never saw the punch coming. I was working at the MVAMC. My back was turned to the guy that hit me. Merrill came up behind me and suckerpunched the right side of my face because he wanted to go smoke, but I had taken away his smoking privileges because he was being an asshole.
It took me a moment to figure out what the hell got happened, and then it hit me, so to speak. That sonuvabitch punched me! My first response was to immediately punch him back. Yeah, guy logic, if there is such a thing.
My co-workers intervened. Merrill was quickly whisked into a seclusion room. I was sent to Employee Health be evaluated. I sustained no serious injury, but the doctor gave me the rest of the day off, just because.
The second assault occurred at Aurora. It was my second year there. I remember it as The Year of the Borderlines. My unit was generally designated as the Marginally Functional Psychotic Unit, but that year we got hit with a tsunami of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder.
One Borderline can be enough to stand your unit on its head. A gaggle of Borderlines (?) A gossip of Borderlines… I like that! A lots of Borderlines gathered together is rarely a good thing, particularly if you're a psych nurse. And especially if the gossip is gaggling on your unit.
It takes an awesome skill set to effectively manage that.
The patient in question was Melissa, maybe. I used to remember everything about every one of my patients, but they eventually melded into one multi-headed mutant patient. Mel was having a difficult day obtaining the level of attention she desired, so she decided to go full on Drama Llama and had a VPM–Very Public Meltdown. Mel was good for usually one of these a day. She would set off a chain reaction with the rest of her Borderline buddies, and chaos would ensue.
On this particular day, I didn't respond the way she wanted me to (I didn't call the doctor to get injectable meds), so she stormed off to her room to slam the door and scream.
Karen Rae Goff, social worker extraordinaire, happened to be on the unit at the time. Karen also happened to be Melissa's social worker, so we went to her room to see what Mel had planned for her next move.
"Get out of here!" Mel screamed at us as I opened the door.
"I need to know that you're going to be safe." I said, from the doorway.
"Leave me alone, or I'll kick your fucking ass!" she screamed. And then I did something stupid:
Melissa launched herself at me and started swinging. I blocked her first punch or two, but then she caught me with a left jab that knocked my glasses askew on my face.
That stirred something inside Karen, and she let loose on Melissa with her Mom Voice, and Mel was so stunned she stopped acting like a temper tantrum toddler.
"I can't fucking believe you did that." I said, and calmly readjusted my glasses.
"You asked for it." Melissa replied.
"Are you going to press charges?" Karen asked me. It's a felony to physically assault a healthcare worker in Arizona. Melissa let a momentary look of panic escape, and that's when I fell in love with Karen. We never had another problem with Melissa. She was a little angel for the remainder of her stay.
And that brings us to Assault #3, which also happened at Aurora.
That day started out like any other day. Dr Sbiliris, the psychiatrist assigned to the Canyon Unit, came onto the unit to meet with his patients. One of them, a young kid named Desean asked to be discharged. Dr Sbiliris kind of laughed and said, "No, probably Friday. Maybe Wednesday."
Desean seemed to accept that, even if it wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.
And then something happened that should've sent my Spidey senses tingling. A patient on the Canyon Unit started loudly acting out, and when the staff from other units rushed over to aid and assist, Desean bolted out the unit doors and made a break for freedom.
We took care of the Yelling Guy. Desean fell short in his sprint to escape. He returned to the unit with an escort, and went to his room. And there was peace in the Canyon once more. Until 2:00 PM.
That's when Desean entered the dayroom and started yelling and throwing stuff.
My boss of bosses, Lori Milus, must've been having a rare quiet day because she had come down to chat. I went into the day room. One of the BHT's was trying to verbally redirect Desean, and I provided back up. But Desean wasn't having any of that shit.
"Come on, man." I said. "You know how this works. Sbiliris says that to everyone. He wants to see how you'll respond. You know acting like this isn't going to get you out of here. If anything, it'll extend your stay, and you clearly don't want that. Use your head, think about this!"
Desean and I were standing in the doorway of the dayroom. The nursing station and the unit doors were behind me. The hallway leading to the patient rooms was behind Desean.
He didn't say anything, as if he were contemplating the veracity of my words. He appeared to me to start turning to his right, and I thought he would keep on going and go back to his room. I also started turning to my right, thinking my work was done. But Desean was merely loading up. He stopped turning to his right and reversed direction. His right fist came flying at me at about the speed of light, catching me squarely on the jaw.
I was launched into space, much like that. I landed by the unit doors, seven or eight feet away. Desean may have howled in triumph. He ripped off his shirt, daring me to get up and fight him.
Like that was going to happen.
I didn't lose consciousness. I even kept my head elevated so it wouldn't hit the floor. But I don't think I could've gotten off the floor just then if my life had depended on it.
One of the darling nurses I worked with, Lindsey Stirling, picked up my glasses and protectively leaned over me as I lay on the floor, trying to out figure out what I should do next. Another nurse, Brea Bils, one of my darlingpreshadorbs work daughters, tried to check my blood pressure. She later told me she no idea what she was doing. She thought I had gotten dead.
I knew I didn't got dead, so I think I even said that.
"I'm not dead. I didn't lose consciousness. My jaw…is really sore, but other than that, I'm okay."
A group of BHT's had escorted Desean into one of the Overflow rooms. Aurora was the only psychiatric facility I worked at that didn't allow the use of seclusion and/or restraints to manage a behavioral crisis. Desean got several injections. And he was kept under close observation by several large men.
Once Desean was medicated and no longer actively assaultive, my boss asked me if I wanted to press charges. I did.
If Desean had been psychotic and responding to internal stimuli, that might've changed my decision. But Desean wasn't psychotic. He didn't get what he wanted, and he decided to act like a thug. That definitely was a factor in determining my decision.
The police took my statement. They took Desean into custody. Thankfully, Frankie Baby wasn't there, or the police would've had to arrest him for murder. And there was peace in the Canyon once more.
I didn't find out my jaw was broken until the following day when I had a CT scan. Because my fracture was nondisplaced, there wasn't much of a treatment. I was on a soft diet for six to eight weeks; nothing but soups, smoothies and ice cream.
I bought the world's most expensive smoothie. I lost ten pounds. I gained all of them back once I could eat real food again. And now I'm learning to live with my new occlusion pattern. It's a process. Some days are better than others. Today, it hasn't been too bad. Yesterday fucking sucked.
And as Forrest Gump said, That's all I have to say about that.

This is a fen recreation project, similar to the expansion of Wicken Fen and planned for the same reasons. Small wetland SSS Is are unsustainable in the middle of arable fields. The rich peat soils of surrounding fars are becoming worked out, and this area needs water storage areas which serve as flood defences. Large wildlife areas provide areas for walking and nature study, while creating work in management of the reserve and the provision of services for tourism.

The research, recently published in PLoS One, suggests hunter-gatherers in this region had fixed settlements with extensive trade networks 10,000 years earlier than previously thought. 'Kharaneh IV is one of the densest and largest Palaeolithic open-air sites in the region,' said Dr Lisa Maher, from the University of California.
Between 2008 and 2011, investigations at the 2ha site uncovered evidence of intense occupation, including concentrations of animal bone and hundreds of thousands of stone tools. Inside the two huts, radiocarbon dated to 19,300-18,600 BC, archaeologists found hundreds of pierced shells, suggesting far-reaching trade links that are usually associated with much later cultures. 'These shell beads were brought to the site from the Mediterranean and Red Sea over 250km away,' Dr Maher said. 'This shows that people were linked to regional social networks and exchanged items across considerable distances.'

25 April 2015
On Sunday morning, thousands of runners will line up to take on the Virgin Money London Marathon and there will be plenty of British interest in the elite men's and women's fields.
The elite men's race will feature London 2012 Olympian Scott Overall (coach: Alan Storey) will be looking to improve on his 19th place finish from 2014, where he crossed the line in 2:19.55.
"Things have gone well, so hopefully I can put together a better, more sensible race than last year," he said. "The ultimate goal is to qualify for Rio next year. An OK performance would be around 2:12, a good one 2:10 or 2:11, and a great performance would be under that", said the Blackheath & Bromley athlete whose marathon best of 2:10.55 came in Berlin in 2011.
"I've learned a lot from every marathon I've done but if someone had told me in 2011 that by 2015 I still wouldn't have bettered my Berlin time I wouldn't have believed them. I know I've got a better time in me, but it's a case of going out there and doing it."
Alongside him will be Matthew Hynes (Stan Markley) who is making his debut marathon appearance. The Gateshead Harrier ran 63:58 in the Paris Half Marathon last month so will be heading into the race in a confident mood after finishing second for GB & NI at the European 10,000m Cup in Macedonia last year.
Those starting on the British Athletics championship start line at Blackheath include Luton's Ian Kimpton (Tony Simmons), Dean Lacy (Mark Newell) and John Gilbert who are Britons to keep an eye out for this weekend.
The elite men's race is billed as the 'clash of the champions' between world record holder Dennis Kimetto and reigning champion Wilson Kipsang. Kimetto's all-time best of 2:02.57 set in Berlin last year beat his training partners' previous best, and he is excited ahead of his first appearance in the race. However, Kipsang set the course record of 2:04:29 last year so he knows how to race fast in London.
2011 London winner Emmanuel Mutai, second place in this race last year Stanley Biwott, 2014 Chicago marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge and multiple World Marathon Majors champion Geoffrey Mutai will also be in contention for the top prize.
A high quality elite women's field has been assembled and Paula Radcliffe suggested at a press conference on Wednesday that her women's only marathon record of 2:17.42 could be improved this weekend.
The field contains the two-time London Marathon champion Mary Keitany, reigning London Marathon champion Edna Kiplagat, half marathon world record holder Florence Kiplagat and Olympic and world silver medallist Priscah Jeptoo should offer a credible threat to Radcliffe's 2002 mark from Chicago.
British interest in the elite women's field includes a veteran of GB & NI teams Sonia Samuels (self-coached), 45 year-old Emma Stepto (Alan Rowling) and Rebecca Robinson (self-coached).
Samuels who was part of the European Cross Country gold medal winning team in December is in a confident mood ahead of Sunday's race.
She said: "I managed to run 110 miles a week in training, which is a step up after running 100 miles a week in the past. Having had a go at the 10,000m last year (at the Commonwealth Games) I feel there's so much more to come. I'm still really motivated."
After running a personal best of 2:32:40 at the Frankfurt Marathon last October, Stepto has some British age records in her sights, not least Joyce Smith's over-45s marathon record of 2:32:48 from the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
Setting off at the same time as the masses on the championship start line, Paula Radcliffe will attract much attention and support around the course as she embarks on what is likely to be her final competitive appearance at the London Marathon.
Watch full coverage of the London Marathon on Sunday 26 April from 08:30-10:00, BBC Two and then 10:00-14:30, BBC One.

Torridge District Council is carrying out a community governance review
Torridge District Council is carrying out a Community Governance Review (CGR) governed by the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. The Act gives power to authorities to consider whether existing parish arrangements should be changed in any way.
The Review has been implemented to consider changes across the whole of the District of Torridge. Community Governance reviews are designed to ensure that arrangements affecting towns and parishes reflect changes that have occurred within an area such as changes in population or in reaction to specific or local issues. It can lead to recommendations for the creation of new parishes, the establishment of parish councils or changes to parish boundaries and electoral arrangements. The aim is to provide more cohesive communities, better local democracy and result in more effective and convenient delivery of local services.
The first period of consultation concluded, with a total of 17 submissions received. Those submissions were considered by a Councillor Task & Finish Group, and draft proposed boundary changes were agreed at full Council on 27 March 2018.
Members of the public will now be able to review these proposals during a second period of consultation which will last until Friday 29th June.
The proposals include changes to boundaries of the following parishes
- Abbotsham / Northam
- Bulkworthy / Abbots Bickington
- Littleham / Bideford South (Outer)
Further information and options to submit your views to the consultation can be found under the "consultation" tab on the Council's website via this link Governance Consultation or by email to email@example.com.
Leader of the Council - Councillor Jane Whittaker said:
"The current proposals to change some boundaries have been drafted as a result of our initial round of consultation with the public. A final decision has yet to be made, so the Council may change its recommendations in light of the further information it receives. We therefore want to hear from as many people as possible, and especially those residents most directly affected by any changes - it's a real opportunity to get involved in shaping the future structure and governance arrangements within your local area."

It's official: new lamb definition starts in July in NSW
A $50 a head boost for older lambs is expected to follow the decision to change the definition of lamb in NSW to bring it into line with New Zealand and new export rules.
From July, the new definition of a lamb in NSW will be a lamb under 12 months or with no permanent incisor teeth in wear. The definition will be applied to domestic and export abattoirs in NSW from July 1, The Land newspaper has revealed.
According to the Sheep Producers Australia, a permanent incisor is considered 'in wear' if:
- it touches the upper pad when the sheep's mouth is closed
- it is above the height of the lamb's milk teeth either side of the permanent incisors.
The previous definition was 'a female, castrate or entire male that has no permanent incisor teeth'. The bizarre situation had occurred previously where a lamb could be sold on a Friday, and then over the weekend lose two-thirds of its value if it lost a milk tooth.
NSW lamb producers would get an estimated $10 million boost to annual returns with changes to the definition, NSW Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said. It will end the market "cliff" when lambs turn into hoggets.
"It gives growers confidence and certainty in going to market with a more definitive physical indicator as to exactly when a lamb can and can't be marketed that way," he said.
"It takes the guess work out of it. This provides producers with a clear warning about when a lamb is nearing the point of no longer being a lamb so that the 'price cliff' faced by all producers once ovine animals pass this point may be better managed," Mr Marshall said.
"The long term benefit is this places our growers on an equal footing with New Zealand product that already applies this same definition. NSW lamb producers will now be able to operate seamlessly in domestic and export markets. Forecasting predicts this will add an estimated $50 value on average to each animal, bringing increased returns of approximately $10m per year to the NSW lamb industry."
The changes will have no bearing on the quality and taste of Aussie lamb, he said.
The new definition is likely to take effect in July this year. Western Australia has said it will also change its definition. (All other states fall under the federal definition.)
The change has already been made at an export level for Australian lambs after former Agriculture Minister David Littleproud amended Export Control (Meat and Meat Products) Orders 2005. That also comes into effect on July 1. NSW is now following through on the change at a domestic level with a change to the Food Regulation 2015.
Last year, the SPA put its support behind the proposal after a nine-week public consultation period showed 83 per cent of the 509 respondents backed the change.
This week the NSW DPI will send a circular to all abattoirs outlining the changes.
"Recognising that industry desires a 1 July 2019 commencement date for the new lamb definition, from 1 July 2019, NSW will apply the new lamb definition in domestic and export plants (Tier 1 premises). Tier 2 premises will apply the new lamb definition in the Export Control (Meat and Meat Products) Amendment (Trade Descriptions for Sheep) Order 2019 once it becomes active on 1 July 2019. Plants (domestic and export) will not be subject to compliance actions for applying the new lamb definition from 1 July 2019."
Forbes Livestock and Agency's Jack Rix said although the change was welcome for vendors it might still create arguments at points of sale of what was a lamb or a hogget.
"It's a good thing, but from my opinion I don't think it will settle all arguments. I think there will still be plenty of debate about what is a lamb or a hogget," he said.
If lambs are fed grain, they'll cut a tooth a bit earlier, he said.
Former SPA president Allan Piggott, Illoura Rams, Moorelands, said the change was well overdue and it was "good to see that it we are nearly there".
"We thought it would take 12 months, but it looks like we are finally there.
"The value to producers will not be across the board, but it will end the stupid situation where a lamb could lose two-thirds of its value over the weekend after sale by just losing its tooth when there was no difference to the animal at all."


text: The Jays approach 2018 as a bit of a wild card. A wild card that could be a Wild Card, if ye catch me drift. They're unlikely to take down the AL East with the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox flexing full powerhouse mode, yet their roster is far from a disaster. All they really lost from 2017 was Jose Bautista, and one could consider that addition by subtraction. They brought in Aledmys Diaz, Danny Espinosa, and Yangervis Solarte to bolster their infield depth behind the injury-prone Devon Travis. They didn't want to have to rely on youngsters Teoscar Hernandez and Anthony Alford in the outfield, so they traded for Randal Gritchuk and signed Curtis Granderson. They even reinforced their pitching staff with cheap options Jaime Garcia and Seung-hwan Oh. It's been an unheralded offseason for Toronto, but considering what they accomplished without spending a lot of money, it's been an impressive one. With better seasons from Aaron Sanchez and Marco Estrada, this could be a team that improves quite a bit from their 76 win 2017. I spoke with Tom Dakers from Blue Bird Banter about some of the fantasy situations surrounding the Jays in 2018.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Adenylyl cyclase (EC 184.108.40.206, also commonly known as adenyl cyclase and adenylate cyclase, abbreviated AC) is an enzyme with key regulatory roles in essentially all cells.
It is the most polyphyletic known enzyme: six distinct classes have been described, all catalyzing the same reaction but representing unrelated gene families with no known sequence or structural homology.
The best known class of adenylyl cyclases is class III or AC-III (Roman numerals are used for classes). AC-III occurs widely in eukaryotes and has important roles in many human tissues.

Helios is about Czech mathematician Miloslav Druckmüller whose photographs of the solar eclipses provided the scientific community with new discoveries which catalyzed a renewed interest in the study of the solar corona. Support making of the doc film!
Author: cine4net, s.r.o.
Miloslav Druckmüller is a university professor (VUT Brno), mathematician, astronomer, lover of mountains, and collector of cactuses. His passion for photography, along with his enthusiasm for solving mathematical problems, led him to the issue of photographing a solar eclipse. The question was: How can a photographic image realistically capture what we see with the human eye during an eclipse? After several years of work, he managed to solve this problem, and produce the very first extraordinarily detailed photographic image of the solar corona during an eclipse. This photograph surpassed all previous attempts, and provided science with a completely new view of the Sun.
When we first saw the photographs of the solar corona and video from the SDO space probe, processed by Professor Druckmüller, we were immediately fascinated. The images have incredible power. They captivate and intrigue you, whether you are interested in astronomy and physics, or not. Quite apart from their scientific value, they show the extraordinary beauty and appeal of the Sun, which remain largely hidden from us. The images give you the natural desire to find out what you are actually looking at. You can't help but be amazed, want to ask questions, find out…
Our aim, through our documentary film, is to introduce the general public to the inspirational enthusiasm of Prof. Miloslav Druckmüller, who has fundamentally contributed to renewal of international scientific interest in observation of total solar eclipses as a means of studying the solar corona. We also want to show how Czech science is working at a worldwide level, and that we can be really proud of our scientists. We would be really pleased if our documentary could be shown in schools.
The documentary film Helios gives us a chance to find out about the extraordinary personal quest of Prof. Druckmüller for photographs of the solar corona, which have astonished the scientific community and captivated the public. His detailed images show structure and activity, within the corona, of which scientists had no idea. The photographs have been published in the prestigious science magazines Nature and Astronomical Journal.
None of this would probably ever have happened, if it had not been for the international theft of one of his images. The subsequent detective story, during which he had to prove his authorship, brought Prof. Druckmüller together with renowned solar physicist Prof. Shadia Habbal from Hawaii University. Another funny story brought him into cooperation with the NASA space agency, who initially suspected him of being a hacker.
We were given exclusive permission to film during the scientific expedition to study the solar eclipse in Oregon, USA in 2017. Besides the scientists, we were also able to capture the atmosphere of a million visitors, who had come from all around the world to witness this thrilling natural spectacle.
The Sun is a phenomenon that has fascinated and provoked human thought since time immemorial. Its power projects not only into legend and art, but also into thousands of stories of people who are inspired with the desire to learn about the world. Most forms of energy that we use (electricity, fuel, food) represent a transformation of the Sun´s energy. Phenomena taking place in the solar corona have a fundamental influence on everyday life on Earth. The Sun is not only a giver of life, but also represents a potential threat to a modern society dependent on technology. That's why great attention is given to studying the Sun nowadays.
The documentary also contains unique material from Prof. Druckmüller´s personal archive, which is previously unseen by the public. We give answers to basic questions, such as: What is the solar corona? and What can we actually see in the photographs? We also reveal some of the burning issues relating to the corona, and we take a look at the present situation in scientific solar observation.
We are a group of film-makers who, under the title of production company cine4net, s.r.o., devote our efforts to making documentary films (short and feature-length) focusing on cultural promotion and education. In all our projects we work closely with experts in the given field in order to ensure quality of film content. We take pleasure in finding attractive ways to present a theme. We have already completed, for example, an internet series on monuments, PamátkyDnes, a feature-length documentary about architect Jano Koehler, and videos for exhibitions at the National Museum. Our projects have won prizes three times, being awarded the Olomouc Region prize for contribution to the field of film, television and theatre. We have also won the main prize in the MusaionFilm international museum film festival.
We believe that popularising science, technology and history is something that has profound purpose. Due to its nature, our documentary film is a financially demanding project to complete. The first part, filmed in America, was made possible due to the kind financial support of Mr. Karel Janeček and the Neuron Fund. The rest of the money came "out of our own pocket," simply because we believe in the project. We have also had financial support from VUT University in Brno, where we gained the patronage of the Deacon.
At present, we are working on/in co-production, which should bring the film to the widest possible audience here in the Czech Republic. We presented the project at the camp4science within the AFO festival. The film has attracted the interest of an international distributor. Despite all this, we still lack a part of the necessary funding, and so we decided to try to obtain this through HitHit.
We intend to use the money to complete filming in Slovakia, Germany and France, followed by sound and image post-production.
1st milestone – 380 000 Kč / 14 743 EUR
This sum will enable us to complete filming in the Czech Republic (illustrational shots) and in Slovakia (the observatory on Lomnický Štít and its coronagraph).
2nd milestone – 600 000 Kč / 23 000 EUR
Filming in France and Germany – we will go with Prof. Druckmüller to the private observatory of Peter Aniol, one of the main characters in the film. We will also visit him at his company, where he produces the finest quality telescopes for observatories such as Paranal in Chile. We will also have an original soundtrack!
3rd milestone – 800 000 Kč / 30 000 EUR
Now we can finish the sound and image post-production, including animation. We're in the final straight!
