Enugu father hacks 32-year-old son to death for threatening to kill him
Raphael Ede
A 60-year-old father, Ikechukwu, has allegedly killed his son in Ogbozinne-Ndiagu Akpugo community, in the Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The father of four reportedly killed his son on Thursday on the claim that the 32-year-old allegedly threatened to kill him over issues yet to be ascertained.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Ikechukwu and his son were at home when an argument ensued between them.
When the argument became intense, the father reportedly placed a distress call to the chairman of Ogbozinne village, claiming that his son threatened to kill him.
In a bid to salvage the situation, the village chairman alerted the community chief security officer.
Our correspondent learnt that the chairman and the CSO and his team rushed to Ikechukwu’s house with the intention of rescuing him.
A source said when the group got to the house around 2am on Thursday, Ikechukwu’s son warned them against entering the compound.
“After a while, Ikechukwu, who said he was held hostage by his son, came out and opened the gate. He asked the CSO and his men to tie the deceased till morning so his son would not kill him. However, while the security men were tying the boy, the father used an axe to cut his back.
“The chairman and the security men later left the house after the deceased had been tied and dumped on the ground. Unfortunately, by morning, Ikechukwu called the community members that his son had died and that they should come and bury him,” the source added.

Another source said the community members refused the request, as Ikechukwu threatened to employ labourers to dig a grave and get the police to supervise the burial.
“Unfortunately for him, when he went to the Agbani Police Division to get policemen to supervise the burial, leaders of the community stormed the station and reported the incident and he was subsequently detained,” the source said.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the incident, adding that three suspects had been arrested.
Ndukwe said, “Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the case of alleged conspiracy and murder. Investigation is ongoing at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Enugu State.
“The father of the deceased, the chairman of the community and the CSO are helping the police in their investigation.”

Do we need the intelligence services? Featured
February 7, 2021 by Socialist Party Zambia in Opinions
Our intelligence officers – ba shushushu, ba OP – are hated and feared.
Is this the way things should be? The answer is a categorical No!
Do we need the intelligence services? Yes, we do.
From time immemorial, nations, governments and communities have relied on intelligence as an essential guide to statecraft. It is on record, for example, that the Persian Empire, the Moguls of India and the City State of Venice utilised intelligence in a systematic manner as an essential feature of government. They recorded their concepts of intelligence in texts that are available for study today.
It is evident from this history that intelligence techniques have been used in pursuit of different objectives and that statecraft and its instruments are
always a reflection of the culture and value system of a given society.
Some nations believed in conquest and the creation of empires that exploited the resources of their subjects. Others used intelligence as an instrument in pursuit of wars and military supremacy. Still others sought dominance in trade and wealth creation for themselves and their peoples.
With the emergence of modern democratic states – be they capitalist or socialist, a fundamental change has occurred in the nature of intelligence as an instrument of government.
Whereas previously the emphasis was on the security of the state and the survival of the regime, now there is a strong emphasis on human security and
human rights and freedoms.
In our country the Constitution is the supreme law and it enshrines the
principles, culture and values of our multiparty democratic state and people. Our constitutional arrangements are not confined to setting out the distribution of power and the means for the peaceful change of ruling parties, presidents and settlement of disputes. The Constitution also reflects the basic values of our multiparty democracy and the economic and social principles for ensuring a cultured existence for all our people and their diverse political parties.
Unlike many other jurisdictions, our Constitution provides expressly for the setting up of intelligence services as part of the security system in the country – Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) [No. 2 of 2016 81 Establishment of Defence Force and functions Establishment of national security services and functions (3) The Zambia Security Intelligence Service shall— (a) ensure national security by undertaking security intelligence and counter intelligence; (b) prevent a person from suspending, overthrowing or illegally abrogating this Constitution; and (c) perform other functions as prescribed.
There are also statutes that describe in detail the role and functions of the intelligence services – An Act to provide for the establishment of the Zambia Security Intelligence Service, its functions and discipline; and to provide for matters incidental thereto or connected therewith [1st October, 1974]; An Act to provide for the continued existence of the Zambia Security Intelligence Service, its functions and discipline; to constitute the National Intelligence Council and define its functions; to repeal and replace the Zambia Security Intelligence Service Act, 1973; and to provide for matters connected with or incidental to the foregoing [24th April, 1998. Whilst operational techniques of covert collection of information are secret, the rest of our intelligence activities should be open and above board. This reflects confidence that our objectives and policies are ethical, honourable and in accordance with fundamental human rights and freedoms.
Our intelligence and other security services are not supposed to be oppressors of the people but protectors of their security and well-being. Hence our services are supposed to
count on the full support of the people. But that is not the case today – our security services are feared and even hated.
The intelligence function comprises the gathering, evaluation and dissemination of information relevant to decision-making, and may include prediction based on such information, as well as planning for future contingencies. In short, intelligence involves the acquisition of information and planning in exercise of all the intellectual tasks required of decision-makers. The relation between the intelligence function and community goals is particularly subtle: although intelligence operates within the frame of authorised goals, one duty of effective intelligence is to appraise these goals in the context of knowledge and, where appropriate, to bring new attention areas, for the purposes of goal clarification, to the focus of decision-makers.
Intelligence is a critical function at all levels of decision-making, yet its very ubiquity seems to have obscured it from visibility to public inquiry.
There is no dearth of historical examples demonstrating the critical importance of reliable intelligence. Napoleon put it to use with devastating effect. Both Stalin and Hitler, in our own day, have shown that the utility of the most accurate and timely intelligence depends upon a decision-maker capable and willing to use it.
What, then, are the ideal intelligence services we are striving for? We
envisage intelligence services that are fully conscious and proud of our multiparty democratic and constitutional foundations. We expect our intelligence
operatives, researchers and analysts to be highly trained and sophisticated.
The main function of our services should be the collection of true and relevant information that can serve as a basis for first class decision-making on security.
Our intelligence services must be seen to be collectors of information both inside the country and abroad, using human resources and the latest modern technology. They must rely on brains rather than brawn. They must be
effective and efficient and deliver quality products superior to those ordinarily available.
Our intelligence services are not and must never be another police service
with powers of arrest. It is true that the modern trend is to use the special methods of intelligence to assist the police in the realm of combating serious
international crime syndicates, but essentially the services must aim at
providing information for decision-makers rather than prosecution or persecution of criminals.
The intelligence services have been given special powers but these powers
must be exercised in accordance with legislation, regulations, guidelines and
rules. It is essential that intelligence services behave in an ethical and lawful manner. In Zambia these matters are considered so important that they are governed by the Constitution itself.
Intelligence services have the particular misfortune of going unnoticed and
unappreciated when they are successful. We wish to record our thanks to and
respect for the Zambian intelligence services and all their members, who
make a significant contribution to the security of our country and people.
Multiparty democracy is founded on every citizen’s right to take part in the management of public affairs. This requires the existence of representative institutions at all levels and, as a cornerstone, a parliament in which all components of society are represented and which has the requisite powers and means to express the will of the people by legislating and overseeing government action.
A multiparty democratic state must ensure the enjoyment of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights by its citizens. Hence, multiparty democracy goes hand in hand with an effective, honest and transparent government that is freely chosen and accountable for its management of public affairs.
Public accountability applies to all those who hold public authority, whether elected or appointed, and to all bodies of public authority. Accountability has the political purpose of checking the power of the executive and therefore minimising any abuse of power. The operational purpose of accountability is to help to ensure that governments operate effectively and efficiently.
For this reason, no institution, function or act of the state, and no organisation or activity of the government can be exempted from public scrutiny and accountability.
There’s need to strengthen mechanisms of control of our civilian intelligence structures in order to ensure full compliance and alignment with the Constitution, constitutional principles and the rule of law, and particularly to minimise the potential for illegal conduct and abuse of power.
There’s need to review the executive control of the intelligence services; control mechanisms relating to intelligence operations; control over intrusive methods of investigation; political and economic intelligence; political non-partisanship of the services; the balance between secrecy and transparency; and controls over the funding of covert operations.
There’s need to bear in mind the fact that an effective state can contribute powerfully to sustainable development and the reduction of poverty. But there is no guarantee that state intervention will benefit society. The state’s monopoly on coercion, which gives it the power to intervene effectively in economic activity, also gives it the power to intervene arbitrarily. This power, coupled with access to information not available to the general public, creates opportunities for public officials to promote their own interests, or those of friends or allies, at the expense of the general interest. The possibilities for rent seeking and corruption are considerable. We must therefore work to establish and nurture mechanisms that give state agencies the flexibility and the incentive to act for the common good, while at the same time restraining arbitrary and corrupt behaviour in dealings with businesses and citizens.
It’s not the duty of the intelligence services to keep the incumbent president in power and help secure him a third term of office. It’s the duty of the intelligence services to ensure free, fair and peaceful elections and let the best candidates, the most supported and trusted candidates win.

Ephraim Stern
Home → Scientific Committee Members → Ephraim Stern
Ephraim Stern was the doyen of Israel archaeologists. As such he was, for 11 years, the chairman of The Archaeological Committee of Israel. Other chairs that he occupied in the past were that of the board of directors of the Israel Exploration Society as well as the renowned Ben Zvi Institute, named in honor of Israel’s second President. The committees chaired by him or in which he participated are too numerous to mention here.
His major activities, however, had always revolved around his fieldwork, when he led, or participated in, many digs, most prominently at Ein Gedi on the shores of the Dead Sea, at Tel Mevorakh and at Tel Dor, the ancient port city on the Mediterranean coast. He paid special attention to the cultural aspects of the Phoenicians. Notably he issued final reports for these and other sites and subjects.
About him it can truly be said that only busy people can find the time to do so many things. In addition to his fieldwork and teaching chores, his public activities and participation, he served also as editor for a great variety of professional books, and periodicals such as the Encyclopedia Biblica and Qadmoniot. Notably he headed the huge team that produced the monumental 4-volume The New Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land, published by Carta and the Israel Exploration Society, and volume 5, a 10-year update published by IES and the Biblical Archaeology Society.
In addition to his epic volume of professional literature, Ephraim published a number of academic titles for the general public.
Over his long career he received many awards, among them the EMET prize on behalf of the Israeli Prime Minister and also from Yad Ben-Zvi, the American Society of Biblical Archaeology, The Israel Museum and Beer Sheva University.

Chicago Med Bosses Reveal When Ethan Will Return For A 'Moving Story' In Season 7
By Laura Hurley published 28 December 21
Brian Tee will return as Ethan in Season 7 for a moving storyline.
Chicago Med closed out the first half of Season 7 with an episode that set up some serious fallout for characters in 2022, but Brian Tee was absent as Dr. Ethan Choi in the midseason finale. Ethan has spent most of Season 7 off screen to recover from his gunshot wound at the end of Season 6, and his brief return to the ED came to a painful end, but is that it for Season 7? Chicago Med showrunners Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider previewed when Ethan will be back, and what kind of story will be involved.
Ethan was well on the road to recovery when he returned to the ED back in November, but his work took too much of a physical toll on him, and an MRI confirmed that he needed a big surgery requiring at least a couple more months of recovery. He’s not gone for good, though! When I spoke with showrunners Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Frolov shared when fans can expect to see him again:
Actually, we're gonna see him again in Episode 12. So, in three more episodes, we'll see him again. He's still in recovery, and then he will come back a little bit later in the season. He's going to have a very moving story with Dr. Charles in Episode 12.
Ethan will be back, but that doesn’t mean he’ll have an easy time of it! Moving storylines involving Dr. Charles can be emotional for all characters involved, for better or worse, and Ethan had a lot of baggage even before his most recent injuries. Plus, Ethan’s biggest storylines have primarily involved April or, more recently, Steven Weber’s Dean Archer as his former commanding officer, so it should be interesting to see what the show has in store with this new story with Dr. Charles.
As for whether or not this “moving story” bodes well for fans who have been waiting to get Ethan back full-time, only time will tell. Andrew Schneider did preview a bit of what Episode 12 has on the way for his arc, however, saying:
Well, we learn more about his background, his past, his family.
Chicago Med has explored his past before, particularly with regard to how his history with the Navy affected him, and the arrival of Dr. Archer added some workplace complications due to that history. His sister Emily also appeared in several episodes in earlier seasons. Still, compared to a character like Will, Ethan has more blanks that could be filled in, and a moving storyline for him could be just what Season 7 needs.
And Episode 12 isn’t too far off! The midseason finale was the ninth episode of Season 7, and Chicago Med will return with the tenth in early January. Based on how the show wrapped in 2021, the first episodes back will have some loose ends to deal with, particularly when it comes to Will and Goodwin with their fraud investigation.
Be sure to tune in to NBC on Wednesday, January 5 at 8 p.m. ET to catch the midseason premiere of Chicago Med, followed by the returns of Chicago Fire at 9 p.m. and Chicago P.D. at 10 p.m. For more of what to watch and when to tune in, check out our 2022 winter and spring premiere schedule!

REVIEW: “Mythicals” by Dennis Meredith
Posted on December 27, 2018 by Michael Cook
I love a good sci-fi book, that much is well known. But what about a sci-fi book that puts forth the idea that all the mythological creatures from Earth’s history (fairies, pixies, werewolves, vampires, etc) are actually alien species exiled to our planet as punishment for crimes made on their own planets? Well, a book like that would be right up my wheelhouse. That’s exactly the kind of book that Dennis Meredith’s Mythicals is. It’s also a very good one, too.
Drunken journalist Jack March can’t believe his bleary eyes when he stumbles onto a winged fairy! She vaults away into the night sky, and his unbelievable—and unbelieved—encounter leads to a stunning revelation that all the creatures of myth and legend are real!
Fairies, pixies, trolls, werewolves, ogres, vampires, angels, elves, bigfoot—all are alien exiles to the planet. For their crimes, these “mythicals” are serving out banishment disguised in flesh-suits enabling them to live among the planet’s natives.
Jack reveals their secret to the world, along with a horrendous discovery: they have decided that the native “terminal species” must be eradicated before it ruins its home planet’s ecology.
In this riveting scifi/fairy tale, Jack joins with sympathetic fairies, pixies, and ogres to attempt to save the planet from the mythicals, as well as the mysterious alien cabal known as the Pilgrims.
Mythicals is a delightful book that starts out seeming like it’s going to be more of a political thriller (involving mythological creatures) that ends up becoming something more epic than that. And it really works. There is honestly no reason for this book to work as well as it does. I mean, it’s the kind of premise that seems sort of absurd, but it’s one that is just so sci-fi that I can’t believe this isn’t something we see more often. There’s something undeniably fun about this book. It starts off a little slowly as all the various pieces are moved into place, but once the story really gets going, it quickly becomes a page-turner that you really don’t want to put down. It starts off seeming like Jack is going to spend most of the book trying to prove that these Mythicals exist, but by about the 1/4 mark, that all changes into a different plotline that later morphs into another one. Each plot is well-developed and well-concluded and it’s all a very satisfying read.
Mythicals is written by Dennis Meredith, a “science communicator” who has worked with a number of universities and has published a number of nonfiction books about science in addition to his work as a novelist. You can kind of tell that Meredith comes from more of a science background in the way he’s written this book, and I mean that as a good thing! This world of this book has clearly been meticulously plotted out by Meredith and he does an excellent job at explaining all the various elements of the world to his readers without descending completely into sci-fi jargon. This world makes sense. Yes, it’s foreign and magical and there are a lot of aliens and a lot of futuristic technology, but Meredith explains it in such a way that it all seems totally believable and mundane. Not much time is spent on characters reacting wildly to it; they get a moment of surprise and then the novel moves on with it. It’s all handled very well.
The story itself is also thoroughly entertaining. It tackles a number of subjects – primarily climate change and the impacts we are having on our global environment – with a surprising amount of poise and nuance for a book that seemed, on the surface, to be a kind of b-film romp of a sci-fi book. I was not expecting these deeply important issues to be such a focus in this book. That’s not to say that it’s a preachy story; it’s not. There’s plenty of fighting between the Mythicals and world building and fun, sci-fi goodies. But it’s always nice when sci-fi books have something to say and it’s clear that Mythicals had a lot to say.
As I mentioned early, the book is plotted very well. I must commend Mr. Meredith for how well-paced this story is. There are a lot of characters in this novel, and, while it does occasionally feel overwhelming, he’s able to juggle all those characters with immense talent and care, ensuring that each of our main characters has some kind of arc and journey to go on. Jack is, for all intents and purposes, our main character, but the Mythicals that end up surrounding him are just as well-developed as he is. And, let me tell you, Jack is very well-developed. I started out the book thoroughly disliking his character, and by the end of it, I truly adored him. There’s an excellent twist involving his character that happens about 2/3 through the novel, and it honestly flips everything on its head in the best possible way. It’s the kind of twist that makes perfect sense while still being totally surprising and I love it.
All in all, Mythicals is an excellent book. It’s got a great premise that’s explored masterfully by an author who clearly put a lot of time into developing it. It features characters that are interesting and well-developed. It focuses on some important issues currently plaguing our society, and actually has something to say about them. It’s well-written and well-paced and is a thoroughly enjoying read that I would recommend to anybody who’s a fan of sci-fi or fantasy. You won’t be disappointed by this book.

Автор: Christopher Tolkien, J. R. R. Tolkien
Переплёт: Мягкая обложка, 496 страниц
🔖 The second of two companion volumes which documents the later writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien’s epic tale of war.
In The War of the Jewels Christopher Tolkien takes up his account of the later history of The Silmarillion from the point where it was left in Morgoth’s Ring. The story now returns to Middle-earth, and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power fothe Dark Lord. With the publication in this book of all J.R.R. Tolkien’s later narrative writing concerned with the last centuries of the First Age, the long history of The Silmarillion, from its beginning in The Book of Lost Tales, is completed; and the enigmatic state of the work at his death can be understood.
This book contains the full text of the Grey Annals, the primary record of The War of the Jewels, and a major story of Middle-earth now published for the first time: the tale of the disaster that overtook the forest people of Brethil when Hurin the Steadfast came among them after his release from long years of captivity in Angband, the fortress of Morgoth.

Amy Adams Gal Gadot Gif
Gadot is an Israeli supermodel and the most recent member of the Wonder Women team. At age eighteen, she became the youngest member of the Israeli parliament, later winning a seat in Tel Aviv. She later served two years in the Israeli army as an officer, before continuing to study at the prestigious IDC Herzliya university. Throughout her time serving the military, she became famous for her daring fashion sense, a bold attitude, and her beauty, which earned her a number of modeling assignments in Europe and the USA.
Gal Gadot is known for her role as the “Gotham City” Girl from the movie “Suicide Squad”. In that movie she played the part of the ruthless Batgirl; though her appearance was motivated by the original Batwoman, Catwoman. This resulted in her gaining international recognition. However, her first real acting role came in the animated film “The Mask” where she played the role of Wonder Woman. This made her famous around the world.
Gadot is known for her beauty, her features, her curves, and her fierce sense of pride. Her career has spanned over thirty years, during which time she’s won more than seventy awards. She’s gone on to play unique characters in TV shows, movies, theatre plays, and cartoons. The majority of her appearances have been as a character in a comic book or cartoon based story. Most of her roles were showcased in Israel, in TV series such as”The Finder”,”Girls in Gold”, and”The Ten”. However, her most popular and critically acclaimed role was in the award winning film “The Matrix”.
Gadot was Created in Southern California. She is of Jewish descent and was believed to be an ethnic Israeli by her parents. She certainly seems to have inherited her mother’s fierce sense of pride and determination in her childhood. She was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of immigrants from what is now Israel. It was here that she met her future husband. During the first years that they were together, she kept her status as an American citizen and never married an Arab.
At age eighteen, Gadot decided to enter the Miss America competition, and she became the first ever Miss USA contestant from outside of the United States. Her stunning looks, her talent, and her decision have all been seen by Americans through her involvement in this prestigious event. Through this experience, she came to understand the importance of maintaining the cultural differences of her nation in mind when entering into a romantic relationship with an American man, as she did with her former boyfriend.
Gadot didn’t let her dual citizenship lead her down a darker path. She is seen by many as an honest and affectionate woman, which is quite refreshing in an industry which often portrays women as evil, or as poor people due to their nationalities. Gadot is of Israeli decent but was born in California. This means that she can freely choose to go on her path to becoming an actress in the Justice League, or to proceed on to be a significant leader of peace.
Now, Gal Gadot is famous for more than her ability to perform with the super-spinning poor girl, Wonder Woman. She is known as one of the best and most successful actresses in Hollywood. Her talents are not limited to playing this character, but she is recognized for her amazing physique. Gal Gadot is dieting and is trying to get in shape for her role as the loveable, most powerful woman in Hollywood. It’s interesting that one of the principal characters in the Justice League has a hot, petite girl as her love interest, and it seems like she will succeed. For many women their fantasy is to be a strong, sexy woman who can hold their own, but today’s movie industry has shown that women can look great and look even better when they lose the weight.
Gal Gadot became a worldwide phenomenon in her brief stint in the realm of theater. She impressed critics, both new and old, with her brilliant acting abilities, and then went on to star in two blockbuster hits. Gadot is a true Hollywood success and is highly respected among all the other actresses of her generation. She is one of the best options for the female part in a superhero team ever. If Patty Jenkins and gal Gadot perform their roles nicely, there is no telling if superhero movies will still be going strong in the future.

Tour the Course
This par 5 opening hole is down hill with a slight dog leg right. It is a comfortable opening hole to a magnificently groomed golf course which is probably one of the best kept secrets in the Coachella Valley. How to Play: The opening tee shot should be kept out of the trees on the right side of the fairway. It is best to be down the left side of the fairway as this will open up the fairway for your second shot. The second shot needs be no more than two hundred yards that will keep the lake on the right side of the green out of play. The more daring can risk the green in two. Leave yourself a 100 yard third shot and all flag locations will be accessible. An opening par is a good start to begin your round.
Hole: 1, Par: 5
Men's Handicap: 8
Women's Handicap: 3
The first of six par threes on the golf course can be tricky as it calls for a mid iron over water early in the round to a large green bunkered on the right side and behind the green. How to Play: Do not panic as the carry over water is really only 145 yards from the silver tees and 170 from the back. Center of the green is always a good shot here and with a solid two putt to walk away with par. For those not comfortable over the water there is a bail out area down the right side of the lake.
Women's Handicap: 13
Description: Almost straight away off the tee with an ever so slight dog leg right. A good solid driver off the tee will leave a comfortable short iron into a small but tricky green. How to Play: This is the number one handicap hole on the front side which can be deceiving. On a benign day, it will play easier than on the days when the prevailing wind comes out of the west. One must be careful on the windy days as the slightest of slices will end up out of bounds down the right side. Play your second shot to the center of the small green and give yourself a birdie putt.
Description: The shortest of the six par threes should be taken advantage of. But be careful as taking this hole for granted can lead to a bogey or worse. How to Play: A short iron should be all that is needed. It must be straight as bunkers on either side of the green offer protection to this short hole. The green slants slightly from back to front and when putting from the back to front, one must be careful that the putt does not get away from you.
Hole:4, Par: 3
Men's Handicap: 18
Description: This par four hole is a dog leg right off the tee. The second shot with a short iron needs to find the right level of this two-tiered green and not be above the flag on this slippery green. How to Play: This tee shot has two options. Either hit the big fade between the large eucalyptus trees bordering both the left and the right side of the fairway or take your tee shot, if you can, over the eucalyptus trees on the right. On windy days, the fade may be your best option. Once again a short iron should be all that is left to this two-tiered green. If the flag is on the lower part of the green, one must be sure to hit your second shot on that level. Anything above the flag can lead to an easy bogey with another downhill slippery putt. If the flag is on the upper level, take an extra club to get it back there.
Description: The sixth hole on the front side brings the first dogleg left on the golf course. There is a punitive fairway bunker on the left of the fairway 215 yards off the tee. The green once again is small, sloping fairly steeply, from back to front, with the back part of the green being a small plateau for a great flag location. How to Play: The tee shot is the most demanding to this point. Hit it left and you end up in the punitive fairway bunker. Hit it right and you end up in trees with not much of a shot to the green. A good draw off the tee leaves another short iron to this tricky green. Do not be above the hole no matter where the flag is positioned as it will be a real tester for a two-putt. If the flag is blue and on the small upper tier, it is better to be short of the tier with an easier two-putt, than be over the green with a near impossible up and down for par.
Description: The seventh hole is one of the best on the front side. Even though this slight dogleg right seems quite benign from the teeing ground, if one does not stay focused on the task at hand, a large number can be the result, especially if you are playing into the prevailing wind. How to Play: The tee shot needs to be down the center or favoring the left side of the fairway. Do not let the tee shot getaway and drift into the trees on the right, which makes the second shot even more difficult. Even if one has a play from the right side, make sure to take enough club as the perception is that the yardage to the green seems shorter and can result in your third shot from the right-side bunker. Down the center or to the left side of the fairway opens the green to a second shot. If the prevailing wind is up, hitting the green in regulation can be quite difficult as the ball must be struck solidly with plenty of club. Once on the green, the breaks are more severe to Indio than the naked eye's perception. Once again it is best to be under the hole and never above.
Description: The eighth hole is the third of the six par threes and believe it or not, the easiest of the remaining four par threes. Even though it is listed at 204 yards from the silver tees, it is downhill and plays slightly less with the prevailing wind out of the right. Bunkered on both sides of the green a tee shot to the center is a job well done. The front of the green is actually downhill even though an optical illusion makes it look uphill. How to Play: A good solid long iron or fairway wood is the play recommended at this straight away par three. A tee shot drifting left or right will find one of the two greenside bunkers which will make par a challenging effort. With a flag location on the front, anything short of the green must be thought out carefully as the chip shot will run downhill for the first third of the green even though it looks uphill. The green is challenging in itself as both sides of the green slope severely to the center.
Description: The par-five ninth is a dogleg left that is uphill from tee to green and trees bordering both sides of the fairway that come into play predominantly on the tee shot. The fairway bunker comes into play approximately 215 yards off the tee. The green slopes severely from back to front and is protected by a greenside bunker on the left and a short-sided bunker on the right. How to Play: The tee shot on the ninth sets up this hole for either a birdie or par, or, bogey or worse. One cannot see the green from the teeing ground as a good solid draw off the tee is the recommended play. Anything straight away can lead one into the tree's on the right and not much of chance to reach this green in two, which can be easily done for the big hitters out of the fairway. The third shot to this severely sloping green from back to front must always be below the flag for the best chance at making birdie. Anything above the hole will lead to a delicate, speedy, turning putt for birdie or par that can easily lead to a three-putt bogey.
Description: The tenth hole begins a stretch of three holes that are the most spectacular at Mission Lakes Country Club. These three holes are a must at this country club as it is a test of golf for precision shot-making and nerves of steel. This stretch begins with a par five dog leg right off the tee and then again another dog leg right for the second shot if you wish to make in two. It is like a small canyon chiseled out of the hills. If you come to MLCC to play, be sure to check the large eucalyptus trees on the right and left of the fairway from the tee, and also on the right side of the green, as they have been home to the resident red-tail hawks that have visited us for the last seven years and raise their offspring. The green is two-tiered and once again slopes severely from back to front. Par is a good score here and of course, a birdie is better. How to Play: The tee shot on this par five is not as demanding as the eye tells you. There is more room to the right than is expected and a driver is not necessarily needed. Two, two hundred yard shots leave only a wedge to the green and a solid two-putt gives one a good score of par, which isn't bad. The third shot one must remember is uphill and can be into the prevailing wind so an extra club may and can be necessary. This is one hole that you must NEVER be above the hole, it can just as easily be a three-putt from that position.
Hole: 10, Par: 5
Description: The eleventh hole at MLCC is our signature hole at the club and has also been voted one of the top eighteen holes in the Coachella Valley. It is the highest elevation at the country club at about 1,550 feet above sea level and offers spectacular views both to the east and west. During certain times of the seasons, one can find our resident red tail hawks, both parents and their young, riding the thermals directly above. It is also not uncommon for one to see one, two, and even three rainbows directly to the flats in the east during stormy weather. This hole takes the nerves of steel for par or better. How to Play: The tee shot on this hole, that runs parallel to the par-three eighth, is the same club that you used on the eighth. That will land you on the flat of the upper fairway which is about two hundred yards in distance. From the upper fairway, you must cross the ravine with another two hundred yards carry that should land you in the center of the green. For those who do not have those nerves of steel, a small wedge will land you on the lower fairway 75-100 yards from the green. The toughest flag location is when our superintendent, Andy Diaz, puts the blue flag on the top tier on the back of the green which makes a two-putt spectacular.
Description: The twelfth hole is the third of our own little "Amen Corner". This teeing ground once again offers spectacular views of the valley, and also the whole country club of Mission Lakes. From tee to green there is a 150-foot drop and from the black tees, one cannot even see the green. How to Play: yards to the center of the green under normal conditions. From the blue tees, one must pick your line and trust the swing to make par or better. The twelfth is a relatively easy hole with calm winds, but with even a slight breeze, doubt and anxiety can play into club selection.
Men's Handicap:15
Description: The thirteenth hole looks relatively easy as it is straight away and all trouble can be seen from the teeing ground. Even though it is a short 384 yards from the silver tees, par can be as elusive as any hole on the golf course. The fairway comes to an end at 90 yards left to the green. From this point forward the wash is with heavy rough. Getting to the green in two, which is protected by three bunkers, right, left, and directly behind, is only half the battle as this green is one of the most difficult to read on the golf course. It does slope slightly from back to front, but the challenge comes in putting from side to side as the break is more than expected. How to Play: Driver is the play from the teeing ground to get as far down the fairway as possible to leave the shortest of irons left to the green. When the flag is in the front, one must be sure to have enough club to reach the green as the severe slope in front will prevent anything from bounding on which makes for a difficult chip. Reading this green for a two-putt is well done.
Description: The fourteenth hole is the easiest on the back nine and must be taken advantage of. It is definitely the most realistic chance for birdie on this difficult nine as the following closing holes are some of the most demanding in the Coachella Valley. Even though it is 506 yards, it does play with the prevailing wind and makes it a short par five. The only protection to the green is two bunkers that protect a back flag and a second or third shot that carries long. The green is relatively easy to read as long as Indio's influence on the putt is kept in mind.
Description: The fifteenth hole is the beginning of the four most difficult and demanding holes at MLCC. Measuring 234 yards from the silver tees and 249 from the black tees, any tee shot on the green is more than acceptable, (very few holes in one at this par three).
Description: This hole commands three good swings to reach the green in regulation, if you can. It can at times play into the wind which only doubles the severity of this golf hole. Not much trouble from tee to green as long as the shots are long and true.
Description: The last of the six par threes can produce a score anywhere from a birdie to a double bogey. If the wind is present, the hole will play shorter than the yardage listed. Keep your tee shot to the left portion of the green and all is well. If your tee shots slides to the right, either in the bunkers or right of them, you bring the double bogey into play.
Description: A superb finishing hole. Anyone who walks away with par or better on this hole will walk away satisfied no matter what the score for his or her round. This demanding hole plays uphill from tee to green and many times directly into the westerly winds. The green has three tiers with the back portion, along with the front, quite small. No matter where the flag, do not be above the hole.


Anime DVD Review: Naruto Shippuden Set 6
Posted on July 7, 2013 by Lesley Aeschliman
Naruto Shippuden Set 6 is a three-disc set that contains Episodes 66 through 77 of Naruto Shippuden. All three discs contain four episodes, but only the third disc includes any special features.
Naruto Shippuden Set 6
English Publisher: VIZ Media
This box set continues and concludes the story arc of Sora, the monk in training at the Fire Temple. The next story arc also begins on this set, and it introduces two more members of the Akatsuki organization: Hidan and Kakuzu. They are on a mission to find the tailed beast hosts. At the beginning of the arc, they are in battle with the host of the two-tail beast. After that battle, they come to the Land of Fire to look for other tailed beast hosts. While this is going on, Kakashi and Yamato are working with Naruto as he tries to devise a new, more powerful jutsu.
Tsunade receives word that the Fire Temple has been attacked, and that their leader, Chiriku, was killed during the fight. Suspecting the attack was launched by the Akatsuki, she sends out several groups of ninja in order to track down the culprits. Both of the stories in this set have a strong emphasis on Asuma, due to his connection with Chiriku.
The second storyline in this disc returns the series to “canon” material from Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto manga series. I have to give the anime writers a lot of credit for finding ways to tie in the “filler” story with the “canon” material. If a viewer didn’t know better, they would assume that the Sora story arc wasn’t “filler” material. Also, as you watch the second story arc in the set, the viewer can tell that a plot point is building for Asuma. However, that plot point doesn’t appear in this set, since the arc just gets going in the last few episodes in the box. I’m really anticipating seeing Box 7 in order to see where the story is heading to.
When it comes to the actual DVD box set, it follows the same format that was introduced with Naruto Shippuden Set 5. Instead of including bonus features on all three discs, only the third disc has an “Extras” menu selection. The first two discs include trailers for Naruto Shippuden: The Movie and Bleach the Movie: The DiamondDust Rebellion when the disc first starts playing before proceeding to the main menu.
There are a total of six bonus features included on the third disc. The first three are advertisements for Shonen Jump magazine and various VIZ Media manga releases, information on where to purchase VIZ Media releases online, and the English credits.
“Storyboards” contains five screens of storyboards from episodes in this Naruto Shippuden box set. Unfortunately, the storyboards have white lines on a black background, and it’s actually harder to see it in order to be able to tell what scene the storyboards are for. I wish there was an option to view the scene being shown in the storyboards in order to help the viewer better understand what it is that they’re seeing.
“Production Art” includes 15 pages of production sketches of the characters that appear in this Naruto Shippuden set. This is exactly like the “Production Art” feature that has been seen on previous DVD boxes for Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
The final extra is labeled as “Omake.” The omake are the short pieces included after the ending credits of Naruto Shippuden. While these tend to be comedic in nature, there are also a few that are on the serious side that provide additional information about aspects of the series. This feature takes all of the omake that are included in this box set and put them together back-to-back in one continuous piece. The English dub versions of the omake are included in this feature. I still believe this feature would have been stronger if there was a menu where a viewer could choose which omake they wanted to see, or choose to see them all back-to-back. The feature as it’s done on the set seems rather pointless.
If you’re a fan of the Naruto franchise and want to have all of the episodes of the series on DVD, then I would recommend purchasing this box set to add to your home video collection.

After the ACC Tournament, 11 members of the Pitt men's and women's track and field teams are headed to the NCAA regional championships next week. That event will be held over next weekend at North Florida in Jacksonville from Thursday, May 26th through Saturday the 28th.
While there, the Panthers will be competing with a host of others to reach the NCAA national championships later this summer. Those will be held in Eugene, Oregon from June 8th through the 11th.
This year's pack is led by junior Desmond Palmer, who will be participating in three different events. Last week, Palmer won the ACC title in the 400m event and is ranked second in that event, per the Pitt article linked above. He will also be trying to punch his ticket for the 110m hurdles event as well as the 4x400 relay where he is part of an experienced team consisting only of upperclassmen.

Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy
The Natural Choice Family Health Clinic Blog Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy
by Ron Kennedy, MD
Bio-oxidative medicine is the addition of oxygen directly to the tissues of the body in the form of singlet oxygen (lone oxygen atoms) in a highly reactive state.
In living systems oxygen (as O2) is transported by hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. This is a highly efficient way of conducting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and insuring it does not react with anything along the way. Because it is bound by hemoglobin, it is unable to react to anything else until it is released by the hemoglobin (which then picks up carbon dioxide and transports it to the lungs).
In bio-oxidative medicine, oxygen is introduced directly into the body as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or as ozone (O3). Although ozone is used safely and with great benefit throughout Europe and in many other parts of the world, the medical establishment in the United States refuses to recognize it as a valid therapy, although new studies are underway in this country. Luckily, hydrogen peroxide is not treated in this way, even though it is an equally powerful oxidative approach.
The chemical reaction looks like this:
H2O2 becomes H2O + O-
This is chemical shorthand to indicate that in the body, hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and singlet oxygen. This singlet oxygen located at the end of this reaction is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is the active agent in hydrogen peroxide therapy.
In IV H2O2 therapy, Hydrogen peroxide is infused into the circulatory system through a vein in the arm. It drips in over a ninety-minute period. Five cc of pharmaceutical-grade, three-percent hydrogen peroxide are put in 500 cc five percent glucose in water as a carrier solution. Two grams of magnesium chloride are added along with a small amount of manganese to prevent vein sclerosis. (We are using higher doses of peroxide as part of our research study- Dr. G)
In the blood, it encounters two enzymes: catalase and cytochrome-C. Catalase drives the above reaction to completion immediately. That part of the hydrogen peroxide that binds with cytochrome-C, however, is not allowed to become water and singlet oxygen for a period of forty minutes. After forty minutes of being bound to cytochrome-C this enzyme begins to act like catalase and breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and singlet oxygen. By this time, the hydrogen peroxide/cytochrome-C complex has been spread throughout the body. In this way the benefits of hydrogen peroxide are made available to all cells.
The effect of singlet oxygen in the human body is twofold. It kills, or severely inhibits the growth of, anaerobic organisms (bacteria and viruses that use carbon dioxide for fuel and leave oxygen as a by-product). This action is immediate, on contact with the anaerobic organism. Anaerobic bacteria are pathogens, the organisms which cause disease. All viruses are anaerobic.
Aerobic bacteria (those that burn oxygen for fuel and leave carbon dioxide as a by-product – as humans do) found in the human intestine are friendly bacteria, which aid in digestion. These organisms thrive in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
The second effect of hydrogen peroxide is that it provides singlet oxygen, which, in turn, transforms biological waste products and industrial toxins into inert substances by oxidizing them. This makes them easy to handle for the kidneys and liver. It doubles the rate of enzymatic metabolism in the mitochondria within each cell, thus enabling the body to cleanse itself of toxins and still have plenty of energy to handle the business of living from moment to moment. This increase in metabolism probably accounts for some of the antibacterial, anti fungal, and anti viral effects of hydrogen peroxide.
(Singlet oxygen is highly reactive and reacts with whatever bio-molecule it encounters. These include cell walls and proteins that circulate in the blood. When this happens, the body’s own antioxidant system is activated resulting in an outpouring of many anti-inflammatory compounds which “turn on” the body’s immune system and healing mechanisms. This is the effect that we are using to enhance the effect of the RIT injections in our research study – Dr. G)
Hydrogen peroxide is a part of normal metabolism. Your body produces it constantly. There are units in certain white blood cells called “peroxisomes,” which produce H2O2. These white cells then engulf bacteria which cause disease and mix them together with these peroxisomes. They both then disappear as the singlet oxygen from H2O2 destroys the bacteria or virus. This happens naturally, without any help from outside sources of hydrogen peroxide.
When an infective disease becomes obvious to the person who has the infection the hydrogen peroxide defense mechanism already has been overwhelmed by the number of viruses or bacteria involved, and the immune system is into its secondary line of defense: the tedious process of analyzing the invading organism and making antibodies, which deal specifically with that organism.
The invention of man-made antibiotics, beginning in the 1920s, was a revolution in medical science. However, as a strategy for fighting infection it is clearly second best, as the body itself demonstrates. When the body is challenged with an infection, it first turns to hydrogen peroxide. Only when this fails does it turn to its own antibody production.
Conditions which can be treated with H2O2 include those conditions which can be treated with antibiotics, but without the serious toxicity often associated with laboratory produced synthetic antibiotics. Some of these conditions are candidiasis (yeast), viral infections, influenza, the common cold, sinus infection, Epstein – Barr virus, and gangrene.
Hydrogen peroxide also has been found to dissolve cholesterol and calcium deposits associated with atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is a good treatment for vascular disorders. This can result in lessening or disappearance of angina, leg pain, and transient ischemic attacks to the brain, which causes dizziness. It also can help reverse some of the damage left over by a stroke, if treatment is instituted early enough.
Research in the 1960s at Baylor University showed conclusively that intra-arterial hydrogen peroxide dissolves plaque in large arteries. This makes H2O2 a wonderful complement to EDTA in the treatment of vascular disease, as EDTA has been shown to clear small vessels and create collateral circulation around large vessel blockages. This combination is called “Chelox Therapy.”
It also clears the lungs, in cases of emphysema, by producing oxygen bubbles in the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs), literally lifting the mucus deposits up, so they can be coughed out.
Hydrogen peroxide has a remarkable clearing effect on the skin. After only a few intravenous treatments the skin takes on a translucent clarity usually seen only in children. In addition, hydrogen peroxide benefits asthma, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, degenerative spinal disc disease, and high blood pressure. It is particularly effective with asthma, arthritis, and back disorders.
All of these illnesses have a component of toxicity from accumulated pesticides, preservatives, and organic industrial pollutants. Often the clearing of these toxins is enough to allow the body to heal, or at least partially repair itself. Obviously, where there is anatomic change such as in disc disease, this anatomic change will not be altered. However, what the person with disc disease, arthritis, and other such illnesses is interested in is the disappearance of pain and the return of function. This often is possible with hydrogen peroxide.
Much more research needs to be done in this area. Claims of cure should not be made unless they can be rigorously substantiated with cause and effect proven beyond any reasonable doubt. At the present time, we can say only that the oxidative therapies are valuable, arresting disease processes, but not necessarily curative.
If hydrogen peroxide is so effective, why is it not made use of in “modern” medicine? The reason is simple. Hydrogen peroxide cannot be patented. It is present in the ocean, it is present in rainwater, it is present in vegetables, and it is present in every cell of your body right now. It must be classified as a food, because it is part of all fresh food of plant origin. Because it is produced in the human body, it is undeniably safe. Since it is a food and cannot be patented, there is no big profit to be made on it. .
People have been traveling to the baths at Lourdes, in southwest France at the base of the Pyrenees Mountains, since 1858 when a girl is said to have seen there a vision of the Virgin Mary. The waters at the baths in Lourdes are believed by many people to have miracle healing powers. Perhaps it is no coincidence these waters are loaded with, you guessed it, hydrogen peroxide. People go there to bathe in and drink the water.
How does one take hydrogen peroxide? You can go to Lourdes, or you can go to a good organic grocery store and buy a bottle of food grade (35%) hydrogen peroxide, dilute it and drink it, or bath in it. If you go to Lourdes, be prepared to shell out thousands of dollars. If you go to the grocery store, be prepared to pay a few dollars. Be sure to dilute it, because the 35% solution will cause burning of the skin on application, or internal damage, if you try to drink it. (I DO NOT SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ORALLY-Dr. G)
If you take it orally, you should dilute it approximately ten drops in an eight ounce glass of water, two or three times each day, on an empty stomach (three hours after your last meal). If you take it with food in your stomach, the hydrogen peroxide will react with the food, and you will not get the benefit from it. Even if you take it on an empty stomach it reacts to the cells of the stomach wall, as well as whatever food fragments still are present, and you receive not only hydrogen peroxide into your circulation, but also oxidation products of H2O2 plus sloughed off cells from the lining of your stomach and miscellaneous food.
Because of these considerations I cannot, and I do not, recommend you take H2O2 by mouth. I believe intravenous H2O2 to be far superior to the oral route of administration. However, because people do report good results with the oral route, I cannot recommend you absolutely do not take it by mouth. This is a gray area.
To benefit your body, the H2O2 must reach your circulation, where it can be broken down by catalase and bound by cytochrome-C for distribution throughout your body in the following forty minutes. You should not eat anything for at least twenty minutes after taking the H2O2.
You will notice hydrogen peroxide, even in this very dilute state, tastes terrible. It makes many people nauseated. You may be able to mask this effect by taking it with fresh lemon or berry juice or with aloe vera juice.
You also can bathe in hydrogen peroxide by putting a pint in your bath water. Be sure to stir it up well before getting in to avoid burning your skin. Many people with arthritis swear by this treatment.
If you are confronting a serious illness, or if oral and topical applications are not getting the job done, you can turn to intravenous infusion of hydrogen peroxide. Intravenous H2O2 is far more powerful than the oral ingestion or topical application. For this form of treatment, you must find a physician who is familiar with the proper preparation of pharmaceutical grade H2O2 in a bottle of sterile, isotonic intravenous fluid.
The infusion lasts ninety minutes. You will notice a warm feeling during treatment, not much more. The main effect of hydrogen peroxide infusions is that you regain your health through the increased ability of your blood to carry a high concentration of oxygen. In this sense, IV hydrogen peroxide therapy is an oxygen therapy. Treatments are one to three times per week, occasionally five times per week for an acute illness and, just as with chelation therapy with EDTA, the number of treatments needed depends on the nature of the illness with which you are dealing. From ten to fifty treatments will get the job done in most cases, and you should be able to maintain on oral hydrogen peroxide or the occasional intravenous infusion after that.
As I alluded to above, there is an exciting new development in the treatment of vascular disease, Chelox Therapy, which involves the combination of treatment with EDTA and H2O2, not in the same infusion however as they would oxidize/reduce each other. These two therapies work in different ways and cross react with each other, causing a thirty percent incidence of intravenous thrombosis. They can be given in combination to the same patient but not on the same day. The combination of these two therapies, given correctly, has been found to be more powerful than either one used alone.
Addendum by Richard I. Gracer, MD (May 2005):
We are using IV hydrogen peroxide as a method of increasing the healing action of Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT). Our research protocol calls for the use of ozone major autohemotherapy to supplement the specific ligamentous injections that are performed with ozonated blood. Peroxide is much easier and less expensive to use. The co-author of my paper on this subject (in Medical Hypotheses to be published July 2005), Velio Bocci, MD, has started using this modality in his practice at the University of Siena and feels that it is very effective. Theoretically, they should do the same thing. Patient acceptance and tolerance is high. The main side effect is soreness in the veins. We are using manganese and magnesium to reduce this effect. Dr. Bocci uses higher doses than those in this paper. We are increasing doses carefully without any problems. Please see the protocol for more specific information.(Bocci, 2005)

Testimony of the new parish priest in Samarkand: "Let God's beauty shine through the joy of fraternity"
Samarkand (Agenzia Fides) - "A month has passed since our arrival in Samarkand. During this first phase, we seek to define pastoral priorities. For example, we think that we have to launch maintenance works in the St. John the Baptist Church. It is a very beautiful building of worship, built 105 years ago in Gothic style, visited by many tourists, but also a bit old and empty. This is why we believe that it is necessary to refurbish it and, at the same time, strengthen its identity and decorum, so that whoever enters feels welcomed. Two other areas of commitment are the launching of new works of charity and the creation of an oratory in Salesian style, a point of connection between the charisms of our Congregation. We would like to set up a football pitch, a volleyball court and create a space where young people have the opportunity to spend time.
The objective, as Don Bosco said, is to bring out the beauty of God through play, the joy of being together and fraternity". This is what Father Ariel Alvarez Toncovich, from the Institute of the Incarnate Word, recently appointed Parish priest of Saint John the Baptist of Samarkand in Uzbekistan, told Agenzia Fides.
After spending 8 years on a mission in Kazakhstan, Fr. Alvarez was sent to Samarkand together with his confrere, Fr. Paolo Giacinti, in order to revive the pastoral activity of the local parish, without a priest for a long time. "In this city, during the nineties, lived a large number of Catholics. On the basis of the parish archives, we found traces of meetings and retreats in which more than a hundred people participated. The economic crisis of recent years has led many of them to return to their countries of origin, especially Poland, Germany, Ukraine. To this, we must add the fact that, for about three years, the community did not have a parish priest, but was assisted, as much as possible, by priests from other cities who came here during the weekend. Without a fixed point of reference, the faithful have dispersed a bit. Now we are two and we will try to make our presence felt. From a pastoral point of view, there is a lot to do".
The community of the faithful of Samarkand is currently made up of a small group of 20 to 30 people, which includes a dozen children, some adolescents, their parents and some women over eighty: "These elderly ladies represent for us true heroines of the faith, because they lived the period of repression of the USSR, keeping in their hearts the faith and transmitting it. The children come from Catholic families, almost all of them have already made their first communion and are attending catechism to prepare for confirmation. We will focus a lot on formation, despite the small numbers, so that those who will approach in the future can recognize in the eyes of this small community the evangelical spirit. There is a lot to do but I am optimistic", he concludes.
In addition to that of Samarkand, in Uzbekistan there are four other parishes and about 3,000 baptized: there are about 700 faithful present in the capital Tashkent, in addition to others present in Bukhara, Urgench and Fergana. In Angren, where the construction of a new Church is planned, there are 25 faithful. The Uzbek population, made up of 30 million inhabitants, is 90% Muslim. About 3.5% are of the Russian Orthodox Christian faith, while another 3% include small Christian communities of other denominations, including Catholics. (LF-PA) (Agenzia Fides, 3/3/2021)
