38 years worth of sortable data on legislative turnover. Which session had the most legislators lose primaries? Where does this session rank for retirements? Find out those answers and more on the new Casualty List page.
The 1974 Watergate wave washed up in Indiana–the only modern electoral wave favoring Democrats to do so. With the U.S. House preparing to impeach President Trump, can we expect a repeat in the Hoosier state in 2020?
It's been a few months since I've published a new post, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes to make C&W even better.
Under current maps, none of Indiana's Congressional districts have switched parties since 2012. If that holds true in 2020, will it be a first? There's not quite a "yes" or "no" answer.
We wrap up our exploration of the tools on the new version of the website with a look at the tools that help you research politicians and offices, including tools to see minority and women officeholders or rosters for every session of the General Assembly.
Part 2 of 3 explores a brand new feature, visualizations (charts and graphs), along with a newly rebuilt map system. Both serve to highlight the focus of graphical representation of data in the site's relaunch.
Part 1 of 3 that explains how to use the new database tools on my website. This article covers filtering through election results, electoral vote records, length of tenure records, and legislative caucus elections.
After nearly four months of work, I'm happy to unveil a newly rebuilt version of this website. This new version better highlights articles, is built to be mobile friendly, and features completely rebuilt tools.
On July 24, Sen. Richard Lugar will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery, and at some point in the future Sen. Birch Bayh will be, as well. But the reasons why these Senate giants will be interred there might not be what you think, and there are a lot fewer Hoosier politicians buried there than you might expect.

Hope Hicks named White House communications director
Hope Hicks, a close Trump ally and longtime aide to the president, will now lead the previously-embattled White House communications shop as its new director, CBS News has confirmed.
First reported by Bloomberg News, Hicks is one of Mr. Trump's most trusted staffers in the West Wing and has been given the job on a permanent basis. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the latest staff development Tuesday morning.
CBS News' Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett previously reported that Hicks has been offered a director-like role last month, and that she was mulling the offer with the intention of redefining the position.
A White House official said in a statement to CBS News at the time, "Hope Hicks will work with White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and all of the communications team and serve as the Interim White House Communications Director. We will make an announcement on a permanent communications director at the appropriate time."
Garret reports that Hicks currently typically checks in with the president multiple times each day to see how stories are playing and how to proceed on media matters.
The 28-year-old Hicks was an early Trump supporter and an original campaign holdover. She was originally brought on to the administration to serve as the director of strategic communications within the White House communications shop. She is expected to work closely with Sanders in crafting messaging for the White House.

Actors resolve suit that divided the film industry, releasing a joint statement saying relationship has been at times volatile, but always bind by love
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have determined their divorce and her domestic abuse case against the Pirates of the Caribbean star, resolving one of Hollywoods ugliest break-ups on the eve of a court hearing which threatened to uncover details of their tumultuous relationship to public glare.
Heard filed legal documents on Tuesday to the superior court of Los Angeles receding her request for a domestic violence restraining order in a bargain which included a reported$ 7m divorce settlement.
Both performers issued a joint statement drawing a line under a tale which has appalled, titillated and divided the film industry and fans.
Our relationship was intensely passionate and from time to time volatile, but always bind by love, said the statement. There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm. Neither party has constructed false accusations for fiscal gains.
The statement said Heard would donate proceeds from the divorce to charity, without specifying how much, and struck a tone of reconciliation. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future.
Lawyers for both sides were not immediately available for comment.
The deal arrived on the eve of a hearing scheduled to begin on Wednesday and last five days, unleashing combative, high-priced lawyers to combat over lurid claims of jealous paranoia, drunken rages, manipulative greed and a severed fingertip.
Heard, 30, filed for divorce in May and procured a temporary restraining order, alleging her Oscar-nominated spouse assaulted her after a drunken argument in their LA apartment. Her filing said Depp, 53, began obsessing over something that wasnt true and became highly angry, throwing a phone at Heard, striking her cheek and eye with extreme force.
A separate statement from a friend of Hears who witnessed the scene, Raquel Pennington, supported Heards version, including a description of Depp swinging a magnum-sized bottle of wine like a baseball bat.
Heard, who stars in the upcoming London Fields, furnished photographs of her bruised face and smashed wine bottles and said the incident fit a pattern of abuse, including a violent row in Australia which interrupted filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Io Tillett Wright, another friend of Heards, wrote in an essay for Refinery 29: The reports of violence started with a kick on a private plane, then it was jostles and the occasional punch, until finally, in December, she described an all-out assault and she woke up with her pillow contained within blood. I know this because I went to their home. I assured the pillow with my own eyes. I assured the busted lip and the clumps of hair on the floor.
Depp, who met Heard in 2011 on the decide of The Rum Diary, has not commented publicly. But his lawyers denied the allegations and before the settlement had accused Heard of trying procure a premature fiscal resolution by alleging abuse. It was Depps second wedding, Heards first.
Stakes intensified in recent days amid fresh asserts be learned from Heards court filings, including a photograph of a bloodied finger. Heard said Depp accidentally sliced off his fingertip during an argument in March 2015, then dipped the stump in blue paint and scrawled Billy Bob and Easy Amber on a mirror, according to the celebrity news site TMZ .
Filming of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean installment reportedly paused while Depp flew from Australia to the US for treatment.
The actor erroneously thought his wife was having an affair with Billy Bob Thornton, her co-star in London Fields, according to Heards filings. She and Thornton have denied any affair.

We've taken many trips with Wildland and they've always given us great guides and lodging. So when we decided to visit Nicaragua to see some friends, we turned to Wildland, who put together a wonderful tour of the country. Grettel Calderon really worked hard to make this a truly memorable trip.
We loved the hike up Cerro Negro Volcano and the slide boarding down (Jerry slid and I walked). The city tours of Leon, Granada, Managua, and the boat tour of Las Isletas were done at a perfect pace for us and were loaded with a ton of information. Our guide, Julio, was a fountain of knowledge and personality.
Our visit to the Yemaya Hotel on Little Corn Island was very special - it's a beautiful property with a really good restaurant. The snorkeling was outstanding and we loved being able to work in a 3 day visit with our friends on Ometepe Island. All the transfers worked like clockwork and the hike in the Cloud Forest was very nice.
We really liked our guide Julio who shared many experiences with us and was very knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for a better pair than Julio and Henry, our driver. Julio had a great command of English language, a wonderful personality, and his extensive knowledge of everything made us look forward to being with him every day. Our vehicle was also perfect for our travels. It was nice to have four wheel drive when we drove up Mombacho Volcano, which was probably a 40 degree incline, and there was plenty of room for our luggage. - Jerry & Elizabeth T.

Today, I want to tell you: to protect the animals from me.
China's statistics, the panda only a few thousand head, Zhu only a dozen, South China tigers and tigers are only dozens of head. Previously, because a large number of human hunting wolf, wolf almost extinct, and later, to the introduction of some foreign, the number of wolves was able to grow.
We create high-tech human beings, to provide us with a convenient, good life so that we live comfortably. But we can know that a lot of things are cut down trees, many living in the tree animals were forced to leave their hometown. Why in the city can not see squirrels, crows, sparrows, swallows ... ... because of human greed, vicious, and poor quality, so that animals again and again to the end of life.
In the circus, an elephant was caught at a very young age, and its mother died in order to protect it. How many years have passed, elephant grow up, remember that scene, in the unbearable point, the staff trampled to death. A lion can not stand the pain of the show, out of the circus, in a family will be a pair of mother and daughter bite into serious injuries.
According to our reports, animal injuries a lot of things. For example: you killed a snake in the mountains, there will be a lot of snakes to attack you, they are also affectionate.
Everyone to protect animals together! The The Let the animal happy life, let mankind have a harmonious big home!
This day, it is the 6th birthday of the white rabbit, it invited some of the animals in the forest, there are lovely bears, honest goats, smart white rabbits, reformed fox ... ... they are open birthday it? In the recommendations of the fox, they are around the white rabbit, singing the birthday song, finished, the white rabbit ready to send the birthday cake cake to everyone to eat. Flapping, flap, suddenly a few guns, a tragedy occurred, small squirrels, small foxes, small goats and bear have fallen, and only the white rabbit was surrounded in the middle, it reflects the express, Quickly hid in the bushes. White Rabbit Cry not timed, they heard the dialogue between the two hunters: "Brother, today harvest a lot of Well, you see, and caught four animals, and unfortunately, let the little rabbit to slip away." Another Said: "We have today caught a total of 10 squirrels, five foxes, a bear, six goats, eight pheasants, and five hares, take these to sell, certainly worth a lot of money. White rabbit heard, angrily said to himself: "human really unreasonable, so you rush to kill, let us how to survive it? No, I have to inform other animals to move quickly." Little rabbit all the way to escape, finally come To the door of the wolf, I saw the door open, but did not see Mr. Wolf, the ground there are some blood, it knows the wolf was also unfortunate.
At this time, the white rabbit a loss, it sadly cried and said: "Now, some animals have been extinct, you destroy the ecological balance, in fact, shorten their lives." At this time, a Little angel came to the white rabbit side, she comforted the white rabbit said: "small rabbit, please do not be sad, and now the state has been intensified, forbidding people to kill wild animals, and in many forest areas established natural Protected areas, I believe in the near future, mankind will also you a beautiful home. "After listening to the words of the little angel, the white rabbit said comfortably:" hey, I had to hide and look forward to the day come.
Yes! Protect wildlife, build more nature reserves, maintain ecological balance, and delay!
Although people now say to protect animals, but there are a lot of stubborn people do not listen, continue to kill animals, humans take animals to watch, sell money, make coat with skins ... ... but you have not thought, if you Is an animal, but was the human hunting, how would you think, you are willing, you are willing to be hunted? You are absolutely unwilling, some people say: "I am not an animal." But you have not thought about animals will think? Now a large number of human hunting animals, animals will be willing? No, no, never. They do not want to die in the hands of mankind. Are they willing to be hunted by you? No, they have a thousand do not want, ten thousand do not want, one hundred million do not want to ... ...
Some people know how to love animals, but they will only hypocritically to educate others, but they still undermine the environment, still excited to taste the game. Take the Dodo living on the Indian Ocean Mauritius Islands, because of its very delicious meat, so was a large number of human predation, in the seventeenth century had been extinct. But if people have awareness of animal protection, then it will not cause the extinction of Dodo.
There are whales, whales are not let you free to kill, the whale is killed one to die one, unlike the small fish shrimp as much, if we kill the whale, then our future generations, they are not see To whales this kind of animal?
Now, some animals have been extinct, although the crocodile ferocious, but more ferocious human beings. It is because some animals have prominent economic value of the organ, which has become the object of human predatory use, become the main factor of animal extinction. Crocodile with sharp teeth, and huge food appetite, we all say crocodile terrible, but the crocodile is more afraid of human beings, in the eyes of mankind, crocodile skin can be made suitcase, handbags, wallets, shoes and other items, so crocodile, It is now an animal that is about to be extinct.

The goal of this project is to improve attribute selection in data preprocessing. This is done using two techniques, attribute combination and clustering. Combination generates new attributes by combining pairs of numeric attributes with arithmetic operations. Attribute clustering discovers groups of categorical attributes based on similarity via Minimum Description Length. The combinations generated frequently have increased correlation to the target attribute compared to those of the original attributes. The clusters let analysts select a subset of the attributes in the original dataset producing about the same classification accuracy as the full set of attributes while reducing the size of the dataset. Both techniques provide data analysts additional insight into a dataset.

This Model with Burns Covering 90 Percent of His Body Says He Feels 'Super Confident' Walking in Fashion Week
Julius Gerhardt walked shirtless at Xander Zhou fashion show on Jan. 11 during London Fashion Week
After an accident in 2014 left Julius Gerhardt with severe burns, he thought his modeling days were over.
The model, who appeared on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, was painting graffiti on a train in Hamburg, Germany, when the electricity from the car cables jumped to the metal spray can in his hand, knocking him unconscious.
"I was in a coma for a day and a half. The doctors could not say if I would survive or not," he told Cosmopolitan.com. "I had burns over 90 percent of my body."
Gerhardt spent three months in the hospital and underwent 10 surgeries – totaling more than $500,000 – to treat his burns.
"At the time, I did not expect to model ever again, but my agent, Christian, told me Prada had asked to book me as an exclusive for their show," he says. "After that, I was back into this Fashion Week thing again."

Though he'd previously only booked editorials that covered his scars, Gerhardt walked shirtless at the Xander Zhou fashion show on Jan. 11 during London Fashion Week.
Gerhardt says modeling with his scars makes him feel "super confident to be alive, just to be there, to rule again."
And rather than holding him back, Gerhardt adds his scars have even helped with his career.
"Before, I was just this model, but it's different now. It's more personal. Now I am Julius," he says. "They know my name. They know my story. They know me."

Garden of Eden is often called 'Paradise'. Paradise is derived from a Persian word and means 'walled orchard garden'. So the Paradise in the bible is defined by walls that keep out Chaos. Perhaps said another way, Paradise is the protected heavenly and ordered garden that was created out of Chaos and with the wall keeping Chaos at bay.
In Genesis, the Garden of Eden is created by God for us. It is walled to define and separate the chaos of the outside and unknown from the paradise within. In many subsequent bible stories, the walled city is common, an extension of the walled house. Further, in Adam and Eve's initial fall from grace, they realise they are naked and needing protection and immediately don clothing.
In the story, the wall around the garden is the initial protection from the outside and unknown. Clothing is protection from the elements and animals. The house walls protect against animals and the dangerous unknown humans. The city walls protect from these and unknown tribes.
Historically, as Mankind grew, we gathered and found we needed these barriers – around our homes, cities, states, countries. Walls help delineate family from non-family, trusted neighbour from unknown strangers; the personal tribe with common interests and goals from other perhaps dangerous tribes.
Walls not only provided physical protection, but also facilitate communication and commerce. The trust level for those within the outer most city wall is higher than those unknown tribes outside the barrier. The trust within the family compound would be higher than those others in the city – ie outside the family compound. Trade at higher trust levels is far easier – larger amounts can be traded more efficiently, with less communication.
Walls that began as physical grew into other forms. These 'walls' could be tribe based, skill based like guilds etc. What is clear is that these 'walls' that separate – protected and unprotected, trusted and not-trusted, Order and Chaos and ultimately good and malevolence – were an integral and fundamental part of our complex and growing society.
In the beginning we had computers and that alone was an amazing feat.
The first computers had no protection or 'walls' from other computers. There was only rudimentary security early on – login/passwords. Physical security was at first the only security – Valuable computers were in locked 'walled' rooms.
Connecting the computers to other computers was the next step. Although crude and at a laughable slow rate, the fact they could communicate together was significant in itself – no one had even thought there could be bad or malevolent communication. (Accidental errors/mistakes were anticipated. Malicious effort crafted to caused harm was to the computer was not anticipated).
As more computers connected, the need for a standard/default and stronger wall was clear – This was called 'The firewall'. This term is an interesting one and comes from Vehicles where there is literally a fire proof barrier to stop the most precious contents – you – from being destroyed by the chaos of fire. This wall was a physically strong barrier of steel – 'The firewall'.
As even more computers were connected there was more malevolence. Some acts were by mischievous agents, while others were criminal in intent. The firewalls therefore grew smarter, even became their own devices. Decoy devices grew – called 'honey pot's. The rules stopping the harmful traffic were initially manually crafted. Then came the Adaptive rules came – These rules changed dynamically to cater for the increasingly sophisticated and varying attacks. The public had a new name for these increasingly common and infectious like vectors – 'a virus' or 'worm'. The names were borrowed from the biologically damaging diseases and life-forms.
It is clear the battle of Order in your computer and Chaos will be on going. The protection at a point in time lasts only until the malevolent forces find a way through or around the protection. The firewall makers then find way to plug these new holes or techniques – and for a little while you are secure again.
Walls can be physical – wooden, stone, mortar and steel. Rules can be walls and active software in computers. Walls can be laws and conventions in society. Commandments and sacred rules from religious texts, traditions and cultures are walls too.
Walls keep Chaos at bay – or at least manageable for the moment.
The only incorrect solutions would be
1. the impermeable wall – (For humans groups, no contact at all with others, for Computers – no connection to any other computer).
2. no barriers at all – Chaos. Think about it – all computer passwords, firewalls cleared – You can log into any ones computer or bank account. You can steal all their money and personal information. Unfortunately they can do the same to you.
What can we learn from the computer experience of the last couple of decades? In almost any environment, microscopic, to humans scale, initially innocent forces naturally fall into or becomes forces for order and chaos, good and evil. Walls were needed in the brand new computer field. Malevolence followed the new field – the malevolence is not in the wall, and turns out to be in nature – the chaos is in nature.
'Walls' in all their forms are important. The barriers themselves are devices to protect, improve trust, security of the person and the information.
The bible describes walls of many forms. Understand those and seek their wisdom so you can keep your walls strong and your paradise intact. Protect yourself and family. Build trust for the benefit of all, but do so cautiously. The only incorrect – indeed foolish option – would be no walls at all.

iGen and the Future of Consumerism
April 23, 2019
Generation Z, although young, are still powerful consumers. According to Rieva Lesonsky, CEO of GrowBiz Media, by 2020 Generation Z will account for 40% of all U.S. consumers. A 2017 report from International Business Machines Corp. and the National Retail Federation reports that more than 70 percent of iGen consumers influence their family's spending. Heavy use of social media leads Gen Z to look at real people, and especially their peers for influence on what to buy.
About 72% of Generation Z consumers rank cost as the most important factor when coming to purchases. Unless products are proven to be worth high prices, Generation Z consumers will look for a cheaper alternative.
Author and speaker Meghan Grace stated,"most of Gen Z isn't making money right now so even investing in a pair of sneakers we'll make them think about making the best decision when purchasing. They're going to look at if the productive is effective for what they need to do as well as if it has social capital with it. There's also this mindset of: do my peers think it's cool?"
"They often look at if the company that they're supporting ethical in their practices. Transparency in business is very important to them," said Grace.
Seeing their parents impacted by the recession of 2008, Generation Z are commonly savers, rather than spenders. "So there really have this mindset of saving for a rainy day because we don't know when the next rainy day is going to be," said Grace, "The information Gen Z gets around information related to financial investments mostly come from their parents and their friends as opposed to learning about finances through traditional means."
Due to heavy use of technology, iGen is being held responsible for the "death", or rather the disruption of shopping malls.
"Any time that an industry is disrupted by something, they want to figure out what is causing it," said Grace, "it's one of those things where we need to look at the "why" behind it."
According to a 2017 survey by Adyen NV, a global payments processor, 93 percent of iGen consumers prefer to shop without the help of a sales associate. Online shopping offers a independent, and personalized experience most stores cannot offer. "More than two-thirds of U.S. malls saw a decrease in national retailers in 2018, according to a report from property research firm Green Street Advisors LLC," as reported by Bloomberg.
Alongside malls, the decrease in sales of print magazines is also blamed on iGen. According to Bloomberg, "teen magazines have struggled more than others to reach their intended audiences. Just last November, Condé Nast closed the quarterly (once monthly) print edition of Teen Vogue. Meanwhile, Hearst Communications Inc.'s Seventeen magazine, a 73-year-old print publication, slashed frequency from 10 magazines to six in 2016."
Due to the rise of mobile payment apps among younger generations, cash is a dying industry as well. Apps such as Venmo, Google Pay and Apple Wallet make it less necessary to carry an actual wallet.
Bloomberg reports that, "American teens are four times less likely to use cash than the general public and only use cash for 6 percent of their transactions, according to data from teen debit-card company Current."

Bacteria have extraordinary capacities for
survival in extreme environments. They can survive
in a vacuum and in outer space. In 1967, some
Streptococcus bacteria were accidentally
transported to the moon on the camera of one of
the Surveyor modules. Over two and a half years
later, the camera was brought back to Earth by the
Apollo 12 mission, and the stowaways were
successfully cultured from insulation of the
camera. Amazingly, the bacteria were able to
survive the vacuum of space, radiation, and
freezing temperatures for years before being
returned to Earth. It does not appear that the
bacteria could grow and spread on the moon, as
other samples collected from the soil were devoid
of life. Their hardiness is one of the reasons
scientists speculate that bacteria-like organisms
might exist on other planets and moons in our
solar system, for example in martian ice caps or
on Callisto ( a moon of Jupiter).
However, I doubt
that even bacteria could survive a trip into a
black hole. As objects approach black holes, the
tidal forces due to gravity become very strong.
Anything falling into a black hole becomes
stretched and crushed. I expect that a tiny
bacteria would eventually be sheared apart by the
massive forces, but would get closer to the center
of a black hole than humans would.

If there's any apparent problem with director Tate Taylor's "The Girl on the Train", it's simply the fact so many similar films have preceded it which many consider to be classics. That's not to say Taylor's film, based on the wildly popular novel by Paula Hawkins, isn't any good, it is, but it doesn't help when your film is being compared to something so recent, as critics have continually pointed out similarities to David Fincher's 2014 crime thriller "Gone Girl". And indeed one of the first things I noticed was the same drab color palette utilized in everything from "Seven" to "House of Cards" by Fincher present in Taylor's film, which all the more warrants the comparison since those choices have a lot to do with both tone and tension from a visual storytelling perspective.
I would take it a step further and say "The Girl on the Train" harks back to some of the best Hitchcock thrillers of the 50s and 60s, as well as Brian DePalma's better stuff from the 70s and 80s. This was especially the case when a short sequence has one of the characters sitting in an art gallery pondering the situation she has found herself in, which has to be a homage to DePalma's "Dressed To Kill". All that being said, "The Girl on the Train" holds up nicely on its own and is powered not only by Hawkins' source material and Taylor's taut direction, but also from Erin Cressida Wilson's script which sets up this nightmarish scenario in a non linear fashion that works well.
One of the best aspects of the film is the fact all of the main characters are female and for the most part relegate their male counterparts to supporting roles. That's important because we don't see these films often enough, and female actresses are typically cast in what was likely deemed as traditional roles in the 1950s, but for some reason is still the case today. Emily Blunt, who plays the lead character Rachel, headlined last year's "Sicario", playing an FBI Agent who is introduced to the underworld of fighting drug cartels in Mexico. Here she plays a completely different character.
Rachel is "The Girl on the Train" which the title refers to. She has recently found herself divorced from her husband Tom (Justin Theroux, whose outstanding work on HBO's "The Leftovers" is a highlight of that series.), of whom she discovered was cheating on her shortly after it was determined she was unable to have children. Alcoholism and the pain of losing her husband has engulfed her thoughts, causing her to sleepwalk through life and sink dangerously close to mental instability. Tom's new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson), is the person Tom was having an affair with. They now live together in the same home Tom and Rachel once occupied and also have a newborn child. We are told of past incidents, as well as present, that indicate Rachel won't let Tom go, continually calling and texting at all hours of the night in an effort to make contact while in a drunken stupor.
We also meet another couple who happens to live near Tom and Anna and have their own unique set of problems. Megan (Haley Bennett) is a lonely housewife who previously spent time as a nanny for Tom and Anna. She's younger and is married to Scott (Luke Evans), a possessive and emotionally abusive husband who seems to treat Megan more like property than a human being. But then one day, Megan goes missing and no one has a clue where she might be or why she left. She frequently visits a psychologist named Dr. Abdic (Edgar Ramirez). Does he know where she is? That's the line of thinking Rachel adopts once she sees what she thinks is Dr. Abdic with Megan embracing on Megan and Scott's backyard deck. How does she see this? Well thats primarily within the film's title, as Rachel rides past her old neighborhood daily while commuting on a train to Manhattan for work. Of course Taylor presents everything Rachel sees with a visual flair that indicates she could be imagining things while under the influence of alcohol.
Blunt's performance is, as usual, a powerhouse full of the emotional weight she is carrying from the trauma she suffered after finding out her husband had betrayed her. Adding to the list of key female characters is an outstanding turn by Allison Janney as the detective assigned to both Rachel's constant harassment of Tom and Anna, as well as the missing person case involving Megan. Also making smaller yet effective impressions are Lisa Kudrow ("Friends") and Laura Prepon ("Orange is the New Black"). The story's end game isn't nearly as dramatic or impactful as the filmmakers would probably have hoped, but experiencing the story with all of its twists, flashbacks, hypnotic sequences, and strong female characters is where the film really excels. We've seen many like "The Girl on the Train" before, but that shouldn't take away from the solid achievement the film really is. GRADE: B

Dr. Tim Somerville
Your Westlake Village, CA Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Somerville is the absolute most kind, professional and knowledgeable dentist that I've ever been to, hands down. I've had a lot of dental work done, unfortunately, and Dr. Somerville has fixed so many mistakes and bad dental work done by other dentists. He explains everything in a way that you can understand and gives you all the information that you need to know about any procedure that is done. His staff is warm and caring and know you by name. Sandy at the front desk is the best and has been with him for many years, so she really knows the ins and outs of dealing with insurance. Nancy is the most skilled dental hygienist that I've ever been to... so experienced and treats my husband with sensitivity and gentleness, yet she is very thorough. The rest of the staff are also top notch. You don't get that bad feeling that you do at most dental offices, just the security of a great family dental office that knows who you are and that will treat you well. I have referred so many friends to this office and I only do that when I am certain that they will be happy. I had to write this review so that more people know where to go to find a great family oriented dental office. You won't be disappointed.
Maureen P.
Best dentist I've ever been to! I recommend Dr. Somerville to everyone! I absolutely hate going to the dentist, but going to Dr. Somerville is (literally) painless. Him and his whole team are so friendly and sweet. Dr. Somverville is a perfectionist who really knows what he is doing. I always know I'm in good hands with him! He always answers my questions thoroughly and never rushes through appointments. I had my wisdom teeth taken out with a doctor who didn't give me any care instructions so Dr. Somerville met with me for a follow-up and answered all my questions. I always feel very well taken care of with him. I will never ever go to another dentist again!
Lena A.
Very knowledgeable and professional. Gentle and thorough. Have been to this office for regularly scheduled cleanings as well and complex bridgework and have always been satisfied with the care and attention that I received from Dr. Somerville and his staff.

By NEIL HARTNELL
Tribune Business Editor
The Government "may be a little behind" its 2018-2019 fiscal projections, it was revealed yesterday, with the full VAT rate hike impact not felt until the New Year.
KP Turnquest, pictured, deputy prime minister, told Tribune Business that the Ministry of Finance was "happy with the overall results" of its first quarter fiscal performance even though it could have fallen short of expectations.
He explained that VAT collections, which were $32m or 19.1 percent ahead of prior year figures at $199.4m for the three months to end-September 2018, would take time to stabilise given the "zero ratings" and exemptions that took effect after July 1.
Mr Turnquest also pledged that the Government would guard against "excessive spending programmes" to ensure it did not squander the benefits of any fiscal gains such as the 52 percent year-over-year cut in the 2018-2019 first quarter deficit.
While public spending was expected to increase during the 2019 calendar first half, as infrastructure projects came on stream, the Deputy Prime Minister said the fiscal impact was forecast to be offset by rising revenue during a period when the Government traditionally earns the bulk of its income.
Mr Turnquest spoke out as he sparred with the Opposition's deputy leader, Chester Cooper, over the Ministry of Finance's first quarter "snapshot" - its first ever quarterly update to the Bahamian people on the Government's finances, which he sought to hail as the start of a new era in fiscal transparency and accountability.
Mr Cooper, though, argued that data showed VAT was underperforming because less than 20 percent of the $1.061bn projected for the full year had been collected during the 2018-2019 first quarter.
While careful to acknowledge that the fiscal year's first quarter is typically the slowest for government revenue collection, since it coincides with the traditional tourism season lull, the Opposition's finance spokesman argued: "The collections for the quarter are significantly under budget.
"This seems a clear indication that projections are not being met and the projected net increase for the year will not be met. Noting the potential for seasonality in revenues, this is still a major red flag..... On the current trajectory, we would likely see more tax hikes, more borrowing or massive recessionary cut backs at year-end."
Mr Cooper, though, seemed to contradict himself later in his statement by saying it was "much too soon to make empirical conclusions" based on the first quarter data, even though he appeared to be doing exactly that with the VAT figures.
In response, the Deputy Prime Minister argued that the full impact of the 12 percent VAT rate increase may not be felt until New Year 2019. He pointed to the 'breadbasket' food and medicines 'zero ratings', both of which took effect on August 1, and the extensions granted to hotels and the construction sector.
"Hotels and contractors that had projects in train, we have them until January to wrap up those projects at the old [7.5 percent] rate," Mr Turnquest told Tribune Business. "We were aware the full effect of the VAT rate increase would not come into effect until January, quite frankly."
He added that the 2018-2019 first quarter VAT take may also have been impacted by lower consumer spending as Bahamians adjusted to the new rate, and asserted that the Government is "pleased with where we are and on track" with its main revenue earner.
The Ministry of Finance's "snapshot" compares the 2018-2019 first quarter with the same period in the prior year, and does not include matching it to its financial projections to see whether performance exceeded, met or fell short of expectations.
"I don't have that in front of me," Mr Turnquest said, when asked about comparisons to the Ministry's forecasts, "but if memory serves we we may be a little behind where we anticipated we would be. But we're certainly happy with the overall results."
He added that the Government also hoped to obtain the extra revenue projected from the increased web shop taxation, namely the "sliding scale" structure and 5 percent Stamp Tax on patrons, during the fiscal year's second half.
The increased taxation is currently subject to legal challenge, and Mr Turnquest yesterday estimated this may have cost it around $8m in 2018-2019 first quarter revenues, although the Ministry of Finance's report put this at $12.6m.
Stamp Tax and trade taxes had also "outperformed" 2017 comparisons during the first quarter, and the Government was focusing on "judicious" management of its spending.
"The message is we have to continue to be disciplined.. so we don't allow any perceived gains to mean there is any extra funds to engage in excessive spending programmes," Mr Turnquest told Tribune Business of spending controls.
"Based upon where we are now and what we see for the rest of the year, we believe we would see improvement in the revenue results and, as we continue to monitor expenditure, there is likely to be some increase in expenditure in the second half of the year that will be more than offset by revenue. It we track where we are we should meet or exceed targets for this fiscal year."
John 1 year, 12 months ago
Well the good thing is government is still (kinda) driving with their foot on the brakes and not spending excessively. And since the government's slowest quarter is being followed by its traditionally best financial quarter hopefully the difference to to put the government on target to realize its $1.06bn projected revenue will be realized. And with talks that the US may be slipping into another recession that equals that of 2008, The Bahamas cannot be caught is such an unhealthy financial state. The Bahamas definitely cannot continue to survive of the sales of goods and services and it must find ways to produce and manufacture goods, if only to slash the food import bill in half. Same for fuels as the country seems to be continuously skirting over opportunities to reduce its cost of energy, even as the price of oil continues to climb steadily. If the government tries to go back to the Bahamian people for more taxes, it will definitely not sit wel.. Not at all.

It's called Virtual Machine.
Microsoft has one.
The only thing I dont know if it's the one off MS or another one that's also called virtual machine.
I assume the software Leopold (Deja_vu) was trying to remember is VMware and can be downloaded and trialled from www.vmware.com I have downloaded this but not yet tested it so I cannot give an opinion, Only to say you do need some good specs on themachine to meet the overhead of running two (virtual)OS's simultaneously, and I probably would not try mission critical operations on the machine until some confidence building had taken place ( maybe not even then )
Maybe you could try it and let me know your opinions
This is the best software for what you need it is called Connectix Virtual PC For Windows it is a powerful cross-platform compatibility solution that enables a single PC to run combinations of PC-based operating systems simultaneously. Virtual PC makes switching operating sytems as easy as switching applications and provides much needed flexibility to the PC.With Virtual PC, companies can upgrade to a new operating system and continue to run legacy applications that are incompatible with the new system. IS professionals can "sandbox" a potential deployment by testing it against any combination of operating systems and applications in a safe, encapsulated environment. Software developers and QA specialists can develop, test and debug software for different operating systems on one computer. Technical Support staff can easily create multiple user-specific configurations on a single PC for real-time scenario testing and evaluation.
HOST Operating Systems
Runs on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT 4.0 w/ svc pk 6+, and Windows Me.
GUEST Operating Systems
Supports Microsoft Windows operating systems including Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows NT Server, Windows NT Enterprise, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000. I hope this helps if you need a url for more ifo use this http://www.connectix.com/products/vpc4w.html
Yes it is possible.This idea came from the mainframe operating system VM from IBM where you can install VM OS then install under it many operating systems.The Virtual machine is a term used to make all workstaion could use all resource at once example If you have 16 MB of ram only then you can give from 16 down to 1 MB to each workstaion and compare that to all other resources.So you can install VSE or MVS under VM and both acn have 16 MB of RAM.
The pc is deffirent where you install a utility such as VMware Workstation from http://www.vmware.com/
or Connectix Virtual PC from http://www.connectix.com/products/vpc4w.html
You can try both and see which one fits your needs.Microsoft used vmware read it at:
Microsoft Corporation to use VMware Software for Sales Demonstrations
In the world of MAC there is a also this technology using a software such as virtual pc where you can install Windows under MAC OS and run windows application.
pls check the requierment for hardware and software for both products.
Good luck

The University of New England is bringing five remarkable stories of revolution to Armidale, as the 2014 Nonviolence Film Festival screens over five days from May 12.
From the true story of a Palestinian widow, who took the Israeli Defence Minister to court to save her lemon orchard, to the inspiring story behind the American civil rights movement soundtrack, members of the public are invited to enjoy five acclaimed short films in Armidale.
UNE Senior Lecturer in Peace Studies, Dr Marty Branagan explained this is the fifth annual festival event of its kind at UNE, designed to be both entertaining and informative.
"Art has long been an evocative form of social commentary and can have great impact as non-violent protest to influence cultural change," Dr Branagan said.
"Through this selection of short films, viewers will have the opportunity to open their eyes to a wide world of cultural change and non-violent protest in significant national liberation movements around the world."
The festival begins with How to Start a Revolution, a documentary about unassuming but highly influential scholar Dr Gene Sharp, whose writings have helped millions of people achieve freedom in the face of oppression and tyranny.
Soundtrack for a Revolution tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music, with new performances of the historic songs by artists including John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean, and The Roots.
Lemon Tree tells the true story of how Palestinian widow Salma Zidane's life is changed abruptly when the Israeli Defence Minister and his wife move next door, necessitating, for security reasons, the removal of the lemon grove that is her inheritance from her father and provides her modest income.
Acting Together on the World Stage, shows courageous artists working in conflict regions in Serbia, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Israel, Palestine, Argentina, Peru, India, Cambodia and Australia, and describes peace-building performances and tools for the creative transformation of violence.
The festival concludes on a lighter note with the Indian comedy blockbuster Lage Raho Munnabhai, about a Mumbai (Bombay) underworld figure who is the only person who can see the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi.
Starting from 12 May, the fifth annual Nonviolence Film Festival presents a series of free lunchtime films at UNE's Di Watson Lecture Theatre (near the Northern carpark), screenings begin at 12 noon daily.

Introducing Miami-based indie pop singer/songwriter CALICA who has just shared the music video to her shimmering debut single 'Give & Take', a song about the stormy internal struggles with the passionate emotions of an intimate relationship. Speaking on the track she says:
"'Give & Take' is about putting someone else's happiness over yours in order to make things work.
It's about giving so much in a relationship that you lose sight of what you need yourself.
I was inspired by a past relationship that ended about a year ago."
Her enchanting voice will leave you enthralled as she blends new wave and synthpop elements from decades passed along with today's pop sound. 'Give & Take' is the first offering off her forthcoming full-length album, Yes, It's About You and the music video which was directed by Madeline Kate Kann can be seen below:

text: Iran has exported 4,000 tons of hand-woven carpets valued at $230 million so far in the current Iranian year (to end March 19, 2016), with Brazil, South Africa, Russia and China being the main destinations, according to Hamid Kargar, the head of Iran National Carpet Center. Exports are expected to bounce back in light of the recent lifting of a ban on the import of Iranian carpets by the United States. On average, Iran used to export $500 million worth of hand-woven carpets annually until two years ago when the exports dropped to $314 million largely due to sanctions.

Sporangia solitary or in sori, embedded in or projecting above both thallus surfaces, subspherical to ovoid, 80-120 mm in diameter when mature, without or with 1-2 stalk cells, forming 4 spores. Gametophytes dioecious. Oogonia solitary or in small groups on both thallus surfaces, embedded in or projecting above the thallus. Antheridial sori large, 400-1500 mm long and 200-1000 mm across, whitish, bordered by 1-3 layers of only slightly elongate sterile cells. Antheridia with many tiers of locules. Dictyopteris is easily recognized by the distinctive midrib. Considerable morphological and anatomical variation occurs between the small, distromatic species (e.g. D. delicatula, D. repens) and the larger robust, multilayered species (e.g. D. muelleri, D. acrostichoides).

LAST UPDATED: May 1st, 2015
Written by Bowhunting.com contributor Brady Miller.
When the last day of the bowhunting season ends…the next one begins; and there is no time like the present to start preparing for the coming season. I know it's easy to let your shooting regimen slip during the winter months with the frosty weather and the snow piling up outside. Nevertheless, you shouldn't let that discourage you from working to refine your shot execution during the offseason.
Everyone has their own method for executing their shot. I am not going to go into detail on the various ways you can activate your release which range from trigger squeezers, to punchers, to shooters who subconsciously achieve a surprised release… But, I do want to stress that you should do what works for you and what method produces the most consistent and repeatable results. For me one of the ways to produce the most consistent shot activation is by utilizing a back tension release. My training regimen is achieved using a device that I built myself. You can do the same.
Now, you might be asking yourself "why would I need one of these training devices and how will it benefit me as a bowhunter"? In a nut shell, Target Panic is a real deal breaker for many archers and bowhunters alike, and this device is a perfect way to train both your mind and body to execute that perfect "unanticipated" shot. This device works great from the comfort of your own home, on the road traveling in a hotel room, or as a warm up before hitting the field or target range. It is also great for testing out a new release without fear of sending an arrow astray or for teaching beginning archers the proper way to execute their shot.
Wintertime is a great time to work on shooting techniques like "Blind Bale" shooting and many others.
Even more, this will work for any type of release including a caliper release, thumb activated, hinge releases, and even finger shooters. This training device also aids in achieving the feel for the correct muscle groups that are engaged during a release, rather than replicating the weight of your bow. It enables you to truly experience what a good shot feels like for those times when you can't shoot your bow or just want more practice.
Making a back tension training aid is quite simple, yet it yields immense results. I developed my back tension trainer from household items and one small trip to the hardware store. In total, this device cost me less than five dollars. For me the trainer consists of a small section of an old ski pole, an old bow grip to simulate the feel of a bow riser, bow sling, d-loop material, parachute cord, and flex cord. But in reality the options are endless as far as what other items you could use to build the training device.
Don't let the looks fool you. This inexpensive tool has the potiental to make you deadly in the woods this spring and fall.
First, I covered the ski pole in athletic tape to give it some grip. Then I cut the ski pole at roughly nine inches and drilled a hole at the top and bottom (the length of the pole just has to be long enough for your hand and/or bow grip to be placed in the middle, plus room for the parachute cord to be attached at the top and bottom). My suggestion is to keep it short enough for travel reasons.
Next I cut two equal lengths of the parachute cord at roughly 15 inches. I attached the top and bottom pieces by making a knot in the cord so it will not pull through and then melted the ends to prevent fraying. Finally I inserted the cord through the pre-drilled holes. I decided it was more consistent if I added a bow sling so I could focus on shot execution and also practice proper bow hand placement at the same time. Therefore I attached a bow sling to the bottom of the pole.
The beauty of this device is that it can be used almost anywhere and costs next to nothing to build.
For the next step, I added a loop of d-loop material to the middle of the flex cord from which my release could attach, in order to simulate a realistic d-loop. I decided to make a loop that I could micro adjust the length if needed, rather than form the typical d-loop. From this point, I tied the flex cord to the parachute cord and drew the device back and loosened or tightened the cords until I determined the proper tension needed for my specific draw length. The beauty of this design is that the parachute cord will not slap your hand if you make the draw length correct, as it will just have enough tension to engage pressure on the jaw mechanism of your release. And finally I cut the extra length of the flex and parachute cords and burned their ends.
While nothing is quite as effective as blank bale shooting for instilling proper shooting habits, this device will allow you to shoot without distractions or hindrances caused by muscle fatigue from holding and drawing a bow for a long period of time during practice sessions. This back tension device which you can build will assist you in creating that perfect unanticipated release that will help you become a better shot when the moment of truth arrives.

"You can't always get what you want, but… you get what you need," sang Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
But they got it exactly backwards, said Peter Norvig. "In today's market-driven economy, you can't always get what you need, but you get what you want."
"We need better health care, clean water, food security for all, climate change mitigation, and social equality. But what do we get from the best and brightest of our generation? Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, cat videos, and photos that self-destruct in 5 seconds."
Peter Norvig is the director of research at Google, Inc., and was the keynote speaker at today's School of Information commencement ceremony. He addressed the 47 graduating MIMS students and 76 graduating MIDS students.
In his keynote address, Norvig challenged the graduates to focus on solving problems that really matter.
"When you think of what you'll be writing about in your next academic paper, or what project you'll be doing in your next job, don't just think about data science, information visualization, statistical inference, and probabilistic reasoning. Think also about utility science, desire visualization, and ethical calculus. Build systems that protect the desires of the few as well as the many. Design algorithms with payoffs that ensure a sustainable future as well as a near-term return on investment."
"By all means use your skills to do optimization, but be aware that unless you make explicit choices, optimization can lead to homogeneity, not diversity, to concentration of wealth, not empowerment for all."
He closed his speech by quoting Spike Lee: "It is up to you to 'Do the Right Thing.' "
Student Speakers
Both student speakers took the opportunity to try to explain each degree program to the guests.
"MIDS is an online data science program," explained Christopher Llop, the MIDS student speaker. "It's a flipped classroom — we watch a few hours of carefully curated video content a week, then we meet. And when we meet online, it isn't like what you'd expect. The classes are small: eighteen people in a room. And I like to explain that it looks like the introduction to the Brady Bunch — each student's face is displayed at once in a little box, with a separate module for the instructor to share their screen, walk through slides, etc."
"The commute is wonderful," said Llop; "Just go to the internet and sign on. But this also brings some new and interesting ethical dilemmas such as, 'should I hide wine in my coffee mug' or 'do I even need to wear pants to school today?' "
Emily Paul spoke on behalf of the graduating MIMS students, asking the question, "What does it mean to have a master's from the School of Infromation?"
"I know many of us are tired of trying to explain our degree to people," she observed. "Now this may seem to be a burden, but really I see it as a great benefit." She observed that the world is unavoidably complex, and MIMS students have learned to resist oversimplistic solutions to complicated problems. In the same way, Paul suggested her classmates should resist the allure of an overly simplistic definition of the degree.
At first Paul thought that her take on the ambiguity of the MIMS degree was "a pretty deep and thoughtful insight" — until she watched videos of previous graduation speakers expressing the same idea multiple times. "This unshakable belief that an idea of mine was completely original and world-changing sets me up pretty well to be a tech bro," she joked.

Monday afternoon, Mike joined me to tackle my current bug. The problem: On one database, the program was strangely crashing while trying to get text for an entity. With a bit debugging, we discovered that it didn't happen if we didn't ask for extraction annotations, and it didn't happen if we were able to use cached entities from the database instead of re-extracting.
After a lot of staring at the crash site and pondering, I added a flush to the output generation, so that we could look at the annotations from earlier documents. We discovered that every single entity annotation was wrong--sometimes they were just blank, sometimes they were showing nasty sequences of unprintable high-ASCII characters. This was a clue that darker things were afoot.
And sure enough, we found those darker things. The locations that were being used to extract the text were supposed to be relative to the source file. Actually, they were equal to 'offset in an internal buffer containing a distorted copy of the document's text' plus 'offset of that document in the source'. And then the locations were being used by another buffer that contained a copy of part of the text in the previously-mentioned buffer--but not the part of the text that this location came from.
It was at that point that I started imitating seppuku with the rubber fish.
Fixing this was complicated by the fact that there were three different classes that had this different information. But we finally managed to fix this bug. Part of this fix involved delicately munging the whole-document buffer to insert garbage corresponding to the document markup in the source, so that that buffer would have its text parts at the locations that corresponded to the source locations. Sigh... this is a house-of-cards solution at best.
One conclusion of software testing is that future bugs discovered in a piece of code tend to be proportional to the number of bugs found in that code in the past. So after the number of defects in a given piece of code becomes sufficiently high, it's time to rewrite that piece of code instead of continuing to patch it. We have definitely hit that defect level with locations and with the way the extraction subsystem deals with locations. Mike has fought with these location issues already before. But we probably won't have time to rewrite it any time soon.
As a postscript: on Tuesday, we pursued a similar bug. We discovered (with much less difficulty, thank Bog) that another code path was double-correcting for the document offset. So we had to restructure things yet again...

At the request of many, we have put together a strategy list for support during the challenging weeks ahead.
A tidbit about all viruses is that they share the same fundamental weaknesses and there is so much we can do to safely and easily up regulate and boost our immune systems. The following suggestions can work for prevention/treatment of all viruses.
Virus droplets from coughs and sneezes are a method to contamination. Door knobs, shopping carts, gym equipment, sports equipment, phones, keypads at checkouts can all have contaminated surfaces. Avoid touching your face/mouth /nose and eyes, and wash your hands as soon as you get home or in your car. Bear in mind that hand sanitizers are not nearly as affective as soap and water for 30 seconds. Ahh yes …the social isolation….keep in touch from a distance at this point. As we are all in this together, please reach out to someone who is isolated and make sure they are aware that they have support available. Peace of mind is PRICELESS! Helping others can empower you in times of uncertainty. Your focus becomes more positive.
CPM Antiviral/ Recommendations/Tools/Options for Additional Support
Avoid all cane sugar…it depletes the immune system! Avoid alcohol as most of it converts into sugar.
Increase your Vitamin C intake to 1000mg 2 times per day. Citrus fruit are also a great source of natural Vitamin C.
Increase your Vitamin D3 intake to 5-10 thousand IU per day, best taken all at once in the evening. If you are acutely ill, 15,000iu of vitamin D3 for 5 days.
Echinacea taken daily. May be used 3-4 times per day at first hint of illness. Best to take it preventively all flu season before you get ill and before any viral outbreaks. All Echinacea is not equal. The good stuff(potent) will make your tongue feel a bit "furry" for a few minutes.
Olive leaf Extract in either tincture or capsule form can be used twice daily for both children and adults.
Wild Oregano caps 1-2 per day
Adequate sleep….7-8 hours minimum. Practice sleep hygiene…Turn off the TV and meditate instead.
Avoid the Flu shot and other immunizations that further deplete your immunity!!!! Could a new flu vaccine be partly responsible for the COVID-19 high morality rate in Italy? Very possibly. They created a new super vaccine and starting giving it in Sept 2019.
Stay well hydrated and use a humidifier/diffuser at home as viruses spread more readily in an overly dry environment. Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil for further antiviral and antibacterial properties. Eat nutrient dense foods. We will be adding to our recipe section for our favorite choices in the coming weeks. Go to www.preventivemedicineNH.com and check under "Food for Thought"
Continue with your probiotics daily. Gut health is Immune health.
L Lysine at a dose of 2000mg per day is also antiviral.
Zinc at a dose of 50mg per day for 7 days is antiviral. Then return to a lower dose.
Viranon is an herbal tablet that can be used for prevention and treatment of many viruses. We have that in stock currently and are recommending 1 tablet twice daily.
Andrographis is another herb that is very beneficial and we are currently waiting for our delivery.
The homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Album 30C may be preventive for this virus: Dose 3 pellets on an empty stomach daily for 3 days and repeat each month until this virus is under control. One tube costs 7-8 dollars and can be purchased on Amazon or your local health food store. The research on this is coming in stronger consistently.
Keep yourself physically and mentally active with exercise and goals to meet on a daily basis. Get up and go to bed at the same time each day. Maintain your natural rhythm of daily activity as much as possible.
Please stay in touch and stay well,
With kind regards,
Gail and Christine

Numbered Ones
The Numbered Ones were the most powerful wizards from the Kingdom of Khone.[1]
The Khonians gathered all promising spellcasters into the Khone Valley of Sacrifice and forced them to survive using magic. The strongest were sent to Sol'Kanar the Swamp King on the Date of Tribute. The young wizards were given Khonian numbers instead of their names – Ahn, Tal, Thu, Fah, Fif, Ska, Gyd, Jate, Nah, Tak, Eloh, Twal, Thutri, Fahtri, Fiftri, Skatri, Gydolien, Jatetri, Nahtri and Venali, and were domineered by Khonian midwives. During an exercise with a Yalomar Cat, the cat exploded due to the Numbered Ones' magic, killing all but Gydolien and the blinding the midwives. Gydolien became known as Gydolien Mor.
