Auditorium Chair With Writing Tablet

A few weeks ago, on the earnings call, Kate Spade CEO Liz Fraser told

I have been unable to stop thinking. "We now have a best-selling bag

She said: "And its price is $348. She is very happy to pay for it, because it makes her happy." Interestingly, I started to check the reviews of the purse. "It's small, so it's not my everyday wallet," one person read, and another declared that "Although it's not as convenient as I hoped, I like this bag very much."

After living with it for a few days, I decided

It's my pineapple wallet.

Like the original version before, this is an expensive tablet with an electronic paper display. The price is only about $400, which is a small part of other tablets. More reasonable price

, And to take full advantage of it, you basically have to buy a $50 stylus. If you subscribe to reMarkable, you will get one for free, but then you are SOL. According to every important indicator, this thing is absolutely annoying. However, due to the high attention to detail, it is so well made that I can't help but like it. What I can say just makes me happy.

reMarkable provided us with a pre-production version of its new tablet, so it may have some errors or behaviors that should not appear in the final retail model. The company also announced yesterday that the first shipment of v2 tablets will be delayed, and the earliest pre-orders will be shipped "early September". In other words, we don't actually know when we will be able to use the "final" model, so don't treat it as a complete review-it's confusing to understand the company's correct choice earlier and the correct choice of it.

Before proceeding, it is necessary to explain exactly what reMarkable is trying to build here. For years, the company has been talking about "paper" tablets, which can help you focus more on the task at hand due to their limited capabilities. In this case, these tasks are largely limited to taking notes, sketching, annotating documents, and reading PDFs and e-books. reMarkable 2 has some more advanced features, such as the ability to synchronize articles to the tablet through a Chrome extension and convert handwritten content to text, but even those features only consolidate the intent of the tablet. This is a device for people who care about writing and reading but not everything else.

It is also more beautiful than ever. With its 10.3-inch Canvas display and bright white plastic body, the first reMarkable tablet looks like

. (I mean to bring all possible hobbies.)

, ReMarkable has undergone an impressive physical change-the white plastic is gone, replaced by a beautiful aluminum frame, which adds a reassuring weight. reMarkable has also reduced the waist circumference of the tablet by a few millimeters, so the company eagerly calls it "the thinnest tablet in the world." In contrast, the 4.7mm thick ReMarkable 2 will undoubtedly make the iPad seem a bit clumsy, but considering the traditional "tablet" thing is a bit stretched.

The makeover is not over yet. Most of its physical buttons are gone-the only one is the sleep/wake button in the upper left corner of the tablet, and the microUSB port has been replaced by a USB-C port.

A magnet is embedded on the side of the tablet, allowing you to connect a Marker (assuming you bought one) for easy storage, and insert the reMarkable 2 latch into the beautiful leather work box. Curiously, the scattered pins in the lower left corner of the tablet hint at future expansion plans-not that the company is willing to talk about them.

Then there is the screen. Its size and resolution (1,872x1,404) are the same as those in the original model. There is still enough space for graffiti and graffiti. However, the more modern display using reMarkable 2 has some significant benefits: the text looks clearer, and when used with the new Marker, the tablet can detect 4,096 levels of pressure to achieve more accurate shadows. More importantly, thanks to the updated Canvas panel and some improved internal structures, the delay between the Marker and the screen has been reduced by nearly half, from about 40ms to 21ms.

I have no doubt that some people will benefit from the upgrade. Especially artists will notice this difference when laying long lines. I am more of a crazy note-taker, so I mainly deal with short, intermittent strokes. In the case that I just wanted to quickly reduce all the performance, the combination of the screen and the Marker did not feel better. Nevertheless, I am very happy that reMarkable has put in work. I am especially happy that the company has changed the feel of the screen.

The company stated that it uses a new textured resin layer on the glass to make writing on reMarkable 2 feel more like writing on paper, and I don’t buy it. If anything, the original reMarkable screen will be more obvious, paper-like impetuous, which does not appear here. However, this is not a big deal, because writing on r2 still feels absolutely great, and I think this can achieve a better balance between touch and flow.

The lack of this subtle writing feel on devices such as the iPad Pro helps a lot in making the behavior of using the Marker more natural.

Again, I really cannot exaggerate the performance of this hardware. reMarkable has done a great job in improving the design of the tablet, and more importantly, all of this work is to keep your eyes firmly locked on the screen. Very clean and practical, I am here. But this is not to say that reMarkable 2 is an upgrade that everyone is waiting for.

First, there is still only 8GB of internal storage space, of which about 6GB is available. So far, this has been enough, but considering the price of this thing, the driving force here must not exceed the range. At the same time, a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU replaces the original Pokey processor, and 1GB of RAM is twice the RAM that came with the first reMarkable.

On paper, this sounds like what this tablet has long needed. In practice, the performance difference is negligible. Popping in and popping out of the notebook feels equally fast on both models, as is flicking through the menu and all the typical navigation positions. Indeed, the only place I noticed the performance difference is when processing files loaded on reMarkable 2.

As I mentioned, if you are willing to sniff out DRM-free ePub files, you can use reMarkable 2 as a powerful e-reader. (In other words, don't bother trying to put the Kindle library on this thing.) In my experience, the format of the ePub file seems a bit screwy on reMarkable, which makes it necessary to adjust the font, margins, alignment, and line spacing. On reMarkable 2, all this will only be slightly faster, but unless you are testing an older model next to it, you will not notice the difference. Same as above for loading and reading PDF: reMarkable 2 will render some pages (especially pages with graphics or charts) slightly faster than the original model, but there is almost a mess between the two.

I don't think I should be surprised. Someone told me that the software running on this new hardware is basically the same as the software on the old model-no unique features or adjustments have been added. Over time, this will almost certainly change, but for now, this means that the basic code of reMarkable 2 is not optimized for this improved hardware. This is really a shame when you consider that the company's fans have been waiting for the tracking service for about two years. I immediately thought of some features that surprised me.

The screen may not look like it, but it supports multi-touch input-I would love to see the zoom control here can reduce the interruption to the PDF paragraph. Some kind of synchronization with an external cloud storage service is also great-I know many note-takers swear by OneNote that I really like the option of exporting marked files directly to Dropbox or Google Drive. (To be fair, reMarkable has its own cloud synchronization service, which works well, but requires you to use a separate application.)

I spent a lot of time comparing reMarkable 2 and its predecessor, because I am a reviewer. I choose nits professionally. However, if you don’t know the story at all, please know that this tablet is an excellent note-taking tool. You can create multiple notebooks for different projects or classes, and you can use different templates to help reMarkable work as well as sketchbooks or weekly planners. Marking a PDF is easy, and reading e-books (sometimes troublesome) can go smoothly.

In other words, even though the most significant difference at the moment is the difference in appearance, reMarkable 2 managed to get it right. For someone like me who has been trying to get rid of the long-term obsession with handwriting, this experience is very enjoyable. Whether this is enough to guarantee $400 on a super niche tablet is up to you. Fortunately, you will have plenty of time to consider your decision: if you have not pre-ordered one of them, you will not be able to get it until November at the earliest. Fortunately, reMarkable can solve some of these flaws with new software before people have to solve them.

Ottawa-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau underwent a small reshuffle of his ministers and then held a cabinet retreat later in the day to develop a strategy to restore Parliament. The reorganization was attributed to the departure of Navdeep Bains, who resigned due to innovation. In the first virtual swearing-in ceremony in Canadian history, François-Philippe Champagne stepped down as Minister of Foreign Affairs and assumed the former position of Baynes, and former Minister of Transport Garneau took over. Old work in the Champagne area. Toronto Regional Councillor Omar Alghabra (Omar Alghabra) has taken over the transportation business, which has been turbulent for 10 months since the pandemic triggered the collapse of the tourism industry and disputes over flight cancellation refunds. Jim Carr also returned to the cabinet as minister. The former minister of international trade diversity resigned after announcing the diagnosis. People with multiple myeloma, blood cancer in October 2019. In a video message released on Tuesday morning, Baynes said that after six elections, Baynes hopes to spend more time with his family. "In the past 17 years, they have given a lot. The congressman from Mississauga, Ontario said that last year was a difficult year for the family. "My daughters are in the 5th and 8th grades last year. I need more, and I need them too. It's time for me to put my family first, and I am not happy about it. Trudeau made it clear that he hopes that the ministries that are vital to the recovery of the country’s economy from the COVID-19 pandemic will be overseen by the ministers that will be held nearby. Trudeau said at a reshuffled press conference, Compared with holding the federal election before the health crisis broke out, Trudeau said that he would rather continue to stop the pandemic, distribute vaccines and restore the economy. He said: "Of course I hope to be able to carry out constructive work in Parliament this winter and spring. In order to be able to provide Canadians with these things. "Many federal government support and welfare programs have been unanimously approved by lawmakers. He said that in minority parliaments, opposition parties can trigger elections. He refused to promise not to use the prime minister's privileges to call himself. "My promise is Trullo.

Cabinet retreats-four will be held in the next two weeks Days of a one-day meeting-focusing on what the government needs to do to deal with this pandemic. This situation will continue to be popular in the United States, including speeding up the promotion of vaccines. It should also focus on the eventual economic recovery and The Liberal government plans to invest billions of dollars to combat climate change, create jobs, affordable housing, skills training, and the national childcare program. The retreat is underway as the government prepares to restore Parliament on January 25 This is destined to be a more radical partisan environment. The pandemic forced a certain degree of cross-party cooperation. Last year, Trudeau’s minority Liberal government was able to operate without any serious threat to its survival. However, by the end of last year, The spirit of cooperation is severely frustrated and is likely to completely evaporate this year, especially once the government proposes a budget that is expected to push the long-standing federal deficit to the stratosphere. The government will need the support of at least one major opposition party to be able to Survive in a vote of confidence in the budget Trudeau began holding regular cabinet retreats six years ago. This was an action taken to encourage ministers to establish contacts as they escape the Ottawa bubble. COVID-19 ended the cabinet retreat in September last year. Will work on regional outreach. Trudeau and his ministers restricted themselves to the government building in the country’s capital for a few days to consider how to get the country through the beginning of the second wave. Now, this The epidemic is ending. Trudeau will host a completely virtual retreat in which ministers will participate in video conferences at various locations across the country.

The sentence of a former music teacher in Saskatchewan was convicted of sexually assaulting a student. Gerard Loehr, 57, was originally scheduled to be sentenced in Wynyard Provincial Court in January, but the case was postponed until February 22, 2021. The adjournment was caused by a variety of factors, including COVID-19 restrictions, Lowe’s trial of similar cases in Ontario. The charges, and the fact that the presiding judge came to Wynyard court from another jurisdiction. According to Saskatchewan’s allegations, Loehr was arrested at his residence in Ottawa on February 17, 2020 and taken back to Saskatchewan. Loehr was found guilty in Wynyard Provincial Court on November 13, 2020, on three counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference. These incidents occurred in the 1990s when he was a band and music teacher at Wynyard and Foam Lake schools when he was working in the Shamrock School branch. Five former students testified against Loehr in the July 2020 trial. At the time of the incident, their age ranged from 12 to 14 years old. After a woman reported an attack that occurred in the 1990s, Wynyard RCMP launched a historic sexual assault investigation against Loehr in February 2019. Later, five other women approached the police. Loehr left Saskatchewan in 1996 and taught at a school in Ottawa. In 2019, the Ottawa Police Department charged him with sexual assault and sexual assault on 11 students. Ottawa police said Lohr taught middle school music in Ottawa’s west end and in his private home. ljoy@glaciermedia.ca Lisa Joy, Local News Initiative reporter/Bartford Area News Optimist Lisa Joy, Local News Initiative reporter, Buttford Area News Optimist By

Nicosia, Cyprus-An official said on Tuesday that in an overcrowded migrant reception camp outside the Syrian capital Nicosia, Syrians quarreled with nationals from several African countries and injured more than 20 migrants. Interior Ministry spokesperson Roizos Michael told the Associated Press that he said that the 25 children were slightly injured and returned to the camp after receiving first aid at the Nicosia General Hospital. He said that because seven people were injured, window panes were smashed, beds and other equipment were smashed, part of the camp fence was severely damaged, and the riot police intervened and quelled the one-hour melee. Police investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fight, but it is believed that it was started by a few people and developed rapidly. Michael said that about 1,500 immigrants were placed in 1,000-person shelters, of which 600 were quarantined. Michael said that Cyprus is racially divided. A small number of immigrants continue to enter the country every day, mainly from Turkey. 50 miles (80 kilometers). Most people in Cyprus entered the island through the divided Turkish Cypriot north, traversed a porous buffer zone controlled by the United Nations, and then entered the internationally asylum-seeking south. Cyprus is a member of the European Union, but only the Greek Cypriots in the south enjoy full membership. welfare. Many arriving immigrants are Syrians. Michael said that a quarter of the 7,000 immigrants who applied for asylum last year came from Syria. Officials from the Ministry of the Interior said that Cyprus has a population of approximately 900,000 and cannot cope with the constant flow of immigration. He said that Turkey was "changing the demographic characteristics of Cyprus" through a well-planned campaign to repatriate immigrants to Cyprus. Michael claimed that interviews with many immigrants showed that the Turkish authorities "forced" many people to come to Cyprus. Immigrants are single men, and they are scrutinized by international law enforcement agencies to determine whether they have any links with extremist groups. Michael said that according to the latest figures, seven people suspected of such connections have been detained in another safer camp. Cyprus hopes that the EU will implement a “fairer” redistribution of migrants arriving in first-tier states, reach an agreement with Turkey to keep migrants in its territory, and allow the group to conclude repatriation agreements with third countries.

Washington — The days of President Donald Trump in office have been counted. But he has stopped working. In the past three weeks, a bomb has exploded in a large city, and the president said nothing about it. With Trump not acknowledging the terrible milestone, the coronavirus has surged to new levels of illness and death in the United States. The president's own words angered the mob to protest Mike Pence's lynching in the U.S. Capitol. Trump made no effort to reach out to the vice president. Trump only belatedly ordered the flag to be flown at half-mast in recognition of an officer who gave his life for defending the Capitol, and he was reluctant to describe the officials' behavior. On Tuesday, he denied any responsibility for inciting an uprising in the Capitol and said his comments to supporters were "completely appropriate." A small group of people—regardless of norms, leadership skills, basic demeanor—was jaw-dropping in his last few days in office, and even the private speeches of close advisers obliterated his legacy. There are currently six current government officials who are upset about the president’s actions in recent weeks. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are still working for Trump. "Even after the election defeat, President Trump still has the opportunity to leave the White House with him. The person in charge swaggered to celebrate the achievements of the COVID-19 vaccine, the progress made in the Middle East, and the booming pre-pandemic economy driven by tax reforms, "Michael Steel, an aide to former Republican Senator John Boehner (John Boehner) said. He chose to indulge in fantasies and grievances. Therefore, the iconic image of the presidency will be a bloody, murderous mob that looted our democratic cathedral, the United States Capitol. Steele said. At the Capitol last Wednesday, Trump only reluctantly tweeted two tweets, calling for calm under the insistence of his aides, and a seemingly disturbing video, which included Jiang Te This message of Lampe conveyed to the riot. ERS: "We love you. You are special. Later, he played a presidential video on Thursday condemning the violence, apparently hoping to avoid potential legal exposure and efforts to remove him. Now, as the FBI warns of armed protests across the country and Washington, the president is elected Biden was sworn in, what Trump said in recent days to calm the mood or promise his supporters not to resort to violence. At the same time, Trump continued to spread lies about election fraud, his political opponents, and his party After voting on November 3, he retreated into a bunker of his own delusion, unable or unwilling to succumb to failure, and dragged down millions of people. Two months later, aides were still trying to convince Trump to do Efforts to show and save his will. The achievements in the office are limited. He agreed to go to Texas on Tuesday to visit the U.S.-Mexico border wall for the last time in the office. But he has not yet signed an assistant’s proposal requiring him to be at the end of his term. A speech delivered a week, emphasizing the development of the coronavirus vaccine and his efforts to increase military funding. Trump is unlikely to make a farewell speech before leaving office. This is the tradition of Trump’s stepping down as president. Trump’s actions make He lost his status as a megaphone because the social media company hung him from the platform with his provocative remarks. But Trump did not make any effort to restore his voice, avoiding TV interviews and communication The reporter’s interaction, on the contrary, Trump has been wandering in the White House, alternating between his private dining room outside the Oval Office and his mansion residence. A TV. Without Twitter or Facebook, he uses his mobile phone. Call the shrinking circle of aides and allies, claiming to be the role of the aggrieved. Since the holidays, Trump has directed his daily public schedule-hardly any public events-including the strange thing that he does work "President Trump will work from early morning until late at night. Guidance has become a propaganda slogan for the White House, and close aides say this obscures the fact: Trump actually no longer acts like the president after the election, and he cannot focus on anything. Trump has not given any intelligence briefings on his schedule in the past few months, even though aides say he sits with them sporadically. Last year, since the coronavirus has killed more than 375,000 Americans, he has taken little public or private measures to deal with the epidemic. A few weeks after one of the largest infiltrations of the US government’s computer network was nailed to Russia, Trump’s main response was to suggest that it might be China. Trump was puzzled by the election defeat, and many defenders faded away, but eventually fell to his White House chief of staff to defend the record of the past four years and ensure that the president is still working. "President Trump withdrew government regulations and established the strongest and most inclusive economy in history. This is the much-needed institutional accountability system that is bringing our troops home, developed in record time. A safe, effective vaccine, and has changed the way domestic and international transactions are done, so that the results actually help hard-working Americans." Trump spokesman Judd Deere said. "This important work continues with rebuilding our economy and fulfilling his promise to make the United States safer, stronger, and safer." Trump himself has made little effort recently to bring this up. argument. ___Editor's Note—Zeke Miller covers the White House for the Associated Press since 2017. ___Associated Press writer Jill Colvin contributed to this report.

NEW YORK — Researchers reported on Tuesday that the U.S. cancer mortality rate hit a record high for another year in a row, which was attributed to the success in fighting lung cancer. The overall cancer mortality rate has been declining since 1991. From 2017 to 2018, it dropped by 2.4%. According to a report from the American Cancer Society, it dropped a record 2.2% last year, a record high. The society reported that lung cancer accounted for nearly half of the total decline in cancer deaths over the past five years. Most lung cancer cases and smoking and the decline in smoking rates over the decades have led to a decline in the rate of lung cancer disease and death. But experts say that through improvements in surgery, better diagnostic scans, more accurate radiation use, and the impact of new drugs, the decline in mortality has accelerated. "Men and women diagnosed with lung cancer live longer. This is really amazing news." Dr. Deborah Schrag, head of population science at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) The statement said. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the country after heart disease. It is estimated that 1.9 million new cancer cases in the United States will be diagnosed this year. Society estimates that 609,000 Americans will die of cancer. ___The Associated Press Department of Health and Science is supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education.

Southgate allocated all wastewater treatment services except 10 units in the last few days of 2020, but the council heard that plans to increase capacity have been made. The number of available units themselves is not fixed because they are based on rolling averages that include the previous three-year period. Flato East Meadows Phases 7, 8 and 10 will occupy a large block of 177 rentable units. There are 57 houses in the seventh stage; 54 houses and 56 townhouses in the eighth stage, and 21 singles in the tenth stage. "Do we leave a little comfort here?" Deputy Mayor Brian Milne was questioned. CAO stated that the township is good because the planned enhancements to the system may add 400 to 800 units. He said that it is possible to put forward some development proposals in 2021, and these proposals may be delayed for "three or four months." He said that it may not be until 2022 to 2023 before the town can develop land along the Eco Park Avenue. In April 2020, the last official accounting provided by Triton has been removed from Flato Phases 2-6 and White Rose Phases 1 and 2. There were 413 residential equivalent units left at that time. Earlier this year, the equivalent of 56 apartments were allocated to this adult residential apartment building (one apartment is 0.7 apartments), while 170 apartments were allocated to the carriage house on Glenelg Street in Flato.

Regrettably, these figures have not yet been officially announced. Preliminary findings from the Saskatchewan Coroner's Tribunal showed that 379 people died from drug overdose in the province last year. In total, there are 172 confirmed ODs, and another 207 are suspected. Dr. Peter Butt, Addiction Medicine Consultant of the Saskatchewan Department of Health, said of the 2020 figures: "This is worrying." The powerful opioid fentanyl is being diagnosed. Accounted for 80 of the deaths. Bart said the only reason the fatal deaths did not increase. Factors include drug availability, demand, and pandemic. He said in an interview: "You cannot distinguish this from the pandemic that people are experiencing: stress, isolation, challenge." Regina is the hardest-hit city, with 82 people confirmed dead. , Followed by Saskatoon (33). Seven people died in Yorkton, six people died in Prince Albert, and three people died in Moose Jaw. Bart said Regina's location may be a factor. He said: "I suspect it has something to do with the distribution system." "It's on the TransCanada highway. Historically, Vancouver and British Columbia were hit hard by fentanyl earlier, and then Alberta in Ontario was hit. It has been hit hard. But now we are seeing a stop along the way." Bart also pointed out that indigenous people, especially indigenous women, accounted for an excessively high proportion of confirmed deaths. The figures show that 28 indigenous women died, while 12 white women died. At the same time, 44 indigenous men died, while 37 white men died.

New Brunswick has reported 17 new COVID-19 cases, another record number of active cases and the death of two residents of St. John’s Nursing Home. Both of them are residents of the Lily Court of St. John Tucker Hall in Parkland. Their deaths brought the number of COVID-related deaths in the province to 11. Prime Minister Blaine Higgs and Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Jennifer Russell, expressed their condolences to the families of the victims on Tuesday. Higgs said he and his wife Marcia felt sorry for the death. He said in the statement: “On behalf of all New Brunswick people, we extend our sincere condolences to their families and friends.” Russell responded to the Prime Minister’s message: “I, together with the New Brunswick people, extend our sincere condolences to these two people.

The death of a person with COVID-19 has nothing to do with the disease, and this death is not included in the 11 deaths recorded to date. The number of active cases has climbed to 219, exceeding the 204 active high set on Monday. As of Tuesday, 164,885 tests have been conducted, including 1,329 since Monday’s report. Edmundston grocery store confirmed a positive case An employee of Edmundston's Real Atlantic supermarket tested positive for COVID-19.

Loblaw and Edmundston store managers will not provide any details about the store’s reaction. Public Health declined to disclose its recommendations for the store on Tuesday, on the grounds that the procedure stipulates what the department should share and not share with the public or companies that may be concerned about potential risks. Spokesperson Bruce Macfarlane said in an email: “During a pandemic, public health always provides the relevant information the public needs to take steps to protect themselves.” There are 25 cases of COVID- in the Edmundston area. 19 active cases, 50 cases have been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic.

NEW YORK — The British celebrity is awaiting trial, accusing her of recruiting Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse a girl in the 1990s and is appealing the judge’s order to imprison her. Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer notified a trial judge on Monday that he planned to appeal her ruling. Two weeks ago, he rejected Maxwell’s $28.5 million bail. The notice of appeal was publicly released in Manhattan Federal Court Records on Tuesday. In late December, a federal judge in Manhattan stated that the bail offered by the defense lawyer would only strengthen her trust in her. The decision throughout the summer was to keep Maxwell in prison until July. The month’s trial is correct. The bail includes $22.5 million, which the lawyer said is equivalent to the entire assets of Maxwell and her husband. They also stated that she will be guarded 24 hours a day and will be confined to an apartment in New York City, where she will wear an electronic bracelet. Prosecutors opposed bail, saying that Maxwell was still a threat to escape, partly because she could obtain a lot of wealth and contacts abroad. They also pointed out that she is a citizen of the United States, Britain and France. After being arrested in July, Maxwell was detained in a federal detention facility in Brooklyn. She pleaded not guilty to the girls she recruited and trained for Epstein, including He was 14 years old. Epstein committed suicide in Manhattan Federal Prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

A former Hamilton medical staff was accused of failing to properly care for a dying Hamilton teenager and testified in his own defense on Tuesday. Christopher Marchant, who was accused with Steven Snively of failing to provide the necessities of life, provided him with regard to the shooting of Joseph Al-Hasnawi (Yosif Al-Hasnawi) to death View of everything that happened that day. He talked about a "uncooperative" patient. He unplugged the cable and kicked. He said that Al-Hasnawi ignored his question, but was speaking to his father in Arabic. His father ran from a nearby mosque to the place where the teenager was shot and killed in Main and Sanford in the lower city of Hamilton city centre. It was December 2, 2017, and Al Hasnavi passed away that night. The court heard that the medical staff thought he was shot by a BB gun. In fact, he was shot by a hollow bullet from a 0.22 caliber pistol, which penetrated arteries and veins. Al-Hasnawi was shot dead at 8:55 p.m. and was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital about an hour later. Defendant Markent said that his father "interrupted" the evaluation, saying that Hasnavi's injury looked like a recently squeezed papule. He said: "I have never seen blood." He also witnessed a "larger pill gunshot wound" than Hasnavi's wound. Marchant remembered trying to talk to Al-Hasnawi, but said he never received a direct response. On the contrary, Marchant said that the teenager would speak Arabic with his father, which he used to indicate that his breathing was controlled. He told the court that his father’s presence “interfered with his assessment”, and although he asked for an interpreter, the father replied, “just to help my son.” Malkante said: “I didn’t hear it until behind the ambulance​​ What does Yusuf say in English." That's where he remembered the "I can't breathe" that the dying boy said. But Marchant did not remember hearing such a voice at the scene. He also said that, as other witnesses testified, he did not hear or comment that Al Hasnavi should "win an Oscar for his performance." Marchente said a police officer made this statement: "Stand up and act according to your age. If I illuminate my light hard enough, I can find it." The victim was held up many times. After evaluating Al-Hasnawi and asking his father whether drugs, alcohol and the teenager were deceiving themselves, Markante said that the nursing staff believed that the teenager might have a mental emergency. When he talked about the wound, he said: "I think (sincerely) think it is also a BB gun or a pill gun." After Marchand and a policeman failed to get him up, Hasnavi was watched by his brother and some onlookers. The person moved to the vicinity of the stretcher. Marchant said that he and Snively tried several times to "lift back and forth" to put Al-Hasnawi on a stretcher, but it didn't work. He said that Hasnawi was "making the elevator difficult and unsafe" by shaking his arm. He said that they invited someone to talk to Al-Hasnawi, who eventually removed him. The caregiver described the "uncooperative" patient caregiver choosing to stay on-site for further evaluation. Dr. Richard Verbeek, the medical director of Toronto medical staff at Sunnybrook Hospital’s former Medical Center, testified that these examinations should be carried out on the way, and one of them was not at all. But Marchand said the medical staff thought he needed a whole set of life forms to "try and figure out what happened." He called Hasnavi "uncooperative"-he said the teenager would kick, kick and take off his oxygen mask and cables-which meant he couldn't take measurements on his own. Marchant said that when medical staff asked questions, Al-Hasnawi would make eye contact and look away. Hamilton police officer, sheriff. Nesreen Shawihat, assisted them in the ambulance. He remembered what she said to Al-Hasnawi: "Your father told me that you are going to be a doctor. Why didn't you start acting like a doctor?" The sergeant asked if there were any restrictions, Marchand said. Al-Hasnawi was tied to a stretcher. After more tests, the ambulance drove to St. Joseph's Hospital. Marqin said, but it had no lights or sirens because he thought it was unnecessary. He said he tried to reassure Hasnavi-Markante insisted that even if the 19-year-old did not respond, he still believed he was receiving psychiatric treatment. Marcant said: "(Diversion to another hospital) is not a consideration for me. I still don't think this is a penetrating trauma." The lights and sirens were turned on, and the ambulance arrived. Al-Hasnawi was transferred to the emergency bed and Marchant said he helped perform CPR. He said: "His abdominal wound... began to spray blood on me and the people around." In the next morning's call, the dispatcher Janice Mcmeekan, who was testified by the judge, recorded that Marchant talked about him as Al-Hasnawi. Surprised by being shot by a pistol. He also said that the teenager behaved like a "fool." Marchand said: "The word choice is wrong." He pointed out that he did not know that the call was recorded. "The next morning, I felt depressed." This was a landmark trial in which emergency responders faced criminal charges for how they treated patients on-site. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ontario Superior Court’s trial has been moved to Zoom to eliminate security risks. Witnesses began to testify at the John Sopinka Court in Hamilton on November 24. Witnesses who have testified so far include: first responders, emergency room doctors and Al-Hasnawi's family who were on the scene that night. The boy was shot. So far, all testimonies have been directed at the official. After the winter break, the court resumed briefly on Monday and then adjourned until the rest of the week to go online. Michael DelGobbo of St. Catharines representing Snively will ask Marchant further questions on Wednesday. The trial will only be decided by Harrison Arrell, Judge of the Supreme Court of Ontario. The royal prosecutors are Scott Patterson and Linda Shin. Dale King, the man who shot Al-Hasnawi, was acquitted of second-degree murder last year. The case is under appeal.

PEI is reporting a new case of COVID-19. This is a man in his 30s who recently had a history of travel outside the province. PEI's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Heather Morrison, announced the new cases during the regular COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday. The man took Air Canada flight 8302 from Montreal to Charlottetown on January 4. Anyone on the flight should continue to self-quarantine for two weeks and monitor symptoms. Since the beginning of the pandemic in March, PEI has confirmed 103 cases of COVID-19. Eight remain active. There were no deaths or hospitalizations. Prime Minister Dennis King said on Tuesday that since the past two weeks of Christmas, the number of cases has not increased and that PEI can start to relax some restrictions in the province, which is full of "good hope." He said that before the travel restrictions outside the province are lifted, restrictions will be relaxed within the province. He said that the province is closely monitoring the situation in New Brunswick, and 65 new cases have been reported in the past three days, with 214 cases on file. Morrison said that from January 25, the restrictions on PEI will be relaxed, which includes increasing the number of people at public gatherings such as personal gatherings, sports events and faith-based services. She said: "We have done a good job, so far." "This is my personal plea and the support of the team: now is the time for us to really stick to it and continue to take these measures for a longer period of time. Now is not the time to proceed with caution.” Morrison said that by this weekend, all long-term care residents and employees of PEI will receive their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. She hopes that by next weekend, everyone who lives and works in community care will get the first dose. She added that so far, 4,226 doses of one of the two approved COVID-19 vaccines have been vaccinated on the island. "So far, thanks to the support and resilience of the islanders, we have been able to deal with all the challenges posed by COVID-19, our health system is not under pressure, and we will continue to receive comprehensive health services, including elective procedures. ”Reminder about symptoms Symptoms of COVID-19 may include: fever. Coughing or previous coughing worsened. May lose taste and/or smell. sore throat. New or increased fatigue. headache. Shortness of breath. Runny nose. More on CBC PEI

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the new year, many residents of Belleville have witnessed pressure from the healthcare system and healthcare providers, the education system, the small business community, and the non-profit charity sector. The mentors of Big Brother and Big Sister have established strong relationships with their trainees to strengthen social and emotional learning and perform functional skills to help them grow into resilient young people and have the confidence to overcome difficulties in life. In the early days of the pandemic, Big Brother and Big Sister Hastings and Prince Edward County experienced a crisis as fundraising efforts and other income-generating channels were greatly reduced. Since March 2020, many institutions in the community have had to cancel fundraising activities that are usually vital to the survival of the institution. The BBBS in Hastings and Prince Edward County have been struggling to deal with this pandemic, which eventually caused the agency to cease operations, leaving more than 200 young people without the opportunity to benefit from the program. Brenda Snider, Chairman of the BBBS Board of Directors, explained: "The Board of Directors has begun long-term research and consolation with professionals to explore the future of the organization while ensuring uninterrupted programming work." The cooperation between the two has led to a partnership that will ensure the successful implementation of our children and youth programs in H&PEC." The long historical relationship between BBBS and the YMCA of Central and Eastern Ontario and the chairman of the BBBS Board of Directors, Brenda Snider, The professional relationship between Executive Director Arlene Coculuzzi and YMCA President and CEO David Allen has given the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters in Belleville a new and vibrant community. Big Brothers Big Sisters will move into the YMCAs Association Service Office located in the Avaya building and share office space. David Allen, Chairman and CEO of the YMCA, said: “It’s not difficult to make this decision.” “I believe that with big brothers and sisters, our community will be stronger and better than the community without it. . Step up to extend a helping hand to other organizations, demonstrating our commitment to the YMCA values; caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and tolerance.” Arlene Coculuzzi, executive director of BBBSHPEC added: “Together with the board, we look forward to the new The beginnings and possibilities of this to help us become more resilient to young people in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties." "Together we will become stronger. As we see in HPEC’s services to the community As such, we are honored to have this opportunity for development and prosperity." The YMCA will also assist BBBS in managing financial reports and bookkeeping, and provide support in the areas of information technology and marketing. "I think if we look at the big picture, we can envision a real opportunity for these two organizations from a synergy and procedural perspective," Allen added. "By sharing resources and working together, we can build capacity and make some excellent plans to influence and change the lives of young people in the community."

The rapid arrival of multiple COVID-19 vaccines has brought hope to end the global pandemic, but there is still a question of how long people can be protected from the virus after being vaccinated. The exact time frame of immunization may vary. Experts say that from one person to another, it will be unclear for a period of time. But we have reason to believe that those who have been vaccinated with COVID can get long-term protection. Steven Kerfoot, associate professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Western University, said that past data on infections and vaccines themselves indicate that “for most people, this immune response is very good and can last for several years. Years. "Not sure-no test can tell you this will last 10 years," Kerfoot said. "But there is absolutely no evidence that immunity will disappear within a year. "Experts can understand the lifespan of the vaccine's immune response by observing the protection we get after natural infection with the same virus. A study published in October by a research team at the University of Toronto found that antibodies may disappear quickly after being infected with COVID. , While others have found a longer-lasting immune response. The study found that antibodies remained stable in blood and saliva for at least 115 days after infection. That was the longest time interval measured in this study, which may mean that antibodies persist A U.S. study published last week showed that antibodies exist for at least eight months. University of Manitoba virologist Jason Kindrachuk hopes to see that the study can detect that as the data expands, the life of antibodies is longer. He said, now , Our "long-term observation is indeed the past 12 months. "People who wish to be infected naturally may have immunity outside the time frame of that year and may enter for many years. "But then we started to enter the hypothesis because we didn't know. Kerfoot said that even studies have shown that the early decline of antibody levels will not cause alertness. Once infected, the antibodies will quickly pop up to fight the infection, and then begin to disappear steadily. The rest is "specific antibodies, immune cells and The slow reduction of memory cells" can help fight future infections of the same virus. "In this case, what we are talking about is not necessarily preventing infection, but protecting against serious diseases. "The same is true from the perspective of immunity." "Although this potentially more transmissible variant of the virus raises concerns about the vaccine's effectiveness against future strains, Kerfoot does not currently see this as a problem. He also believes that we do not need annual influenza vaccines. Vaccination against COVID is necessary because influenza viruses are different every year. Horacio Bach, an adjunct professor of infectious disease at UBC, said that vaccine development usually takes longer than the use of COVID and can be Immunization lifespan will be improved to a certain extent, which may require strengthening immunity, but he expects it will take a few years. Extended clinical trials. Bach said: “Once the vaccine is vaccinated, one or two years later, you have to visit these people To see if and how they are protected. "But Kerfoot said that most vaccine trials "will never stop," and as more and more people get vaccinated, people are expected to continue surveillance. Due to the urgency of the pandemic, he hopes that the COVID vaccine will continue to grow. To a certain extent this happened. Kerfoot said: “For all vaccines, you can’t wait to run a 10-year trial to see if it can last 10 years. "You will see if it produces an effective response, if it is safe... and you will pass. "Jindrachuk said that vaccine development is a long process. Over time, scientists may continue to develop vaccines with longer immunity. The second and third generation vaccines are "continuously improving." Each may provide improvements at the end. “We don’t know yet, but this is something science is evolving,” he said.

ESF's Marshall Hall

State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) landscape architecture course students will be held in downtown Syracuse to accommodate the two-and-a-half-year renovation of Marshall Hall.

This 87-year-old building is undergoing major renovations, which will help relocate three academic departments. The Department of Landscape Architecture has moved to the center of Syracuse, to 224 Harrison Street. Environmental studies and general education have been moved to various buildings on the ESF Forest Drive campus.

Landscape architecture classrooms, computer laboratories, research centers, and faculty and graduate offices are now located on the seventh and eighth floors of the downtown space.

Douglas Johnston, head of the Department of Landscape Architecture, said: “I think students are eager to come back here, and the new location provides a different perspective.”

Johnston said that being in the city center "will bring students closer to the location they are studying." "We will do a lot of outdoor teaching and travel."

Johnston said that students in Los Angeles will have the best of both worlds. He pointed out, "Students will have close contact with the I-81 project, Onondaga River, the history and urban development of Syracuse, and have all the resources of ESF."

Due to epidemic restrictions, most of the classes this semester are online, but students and faculty unions interact in the new space based on blocking and social distancing agreements. Students, faculty and staff have parking lots nearby and can take the SUNY Upstate Medical shuttle bus, which runs from The Hill to the downtown buildings near Upstate.

Marshall Hall (Marshall Hall) was built in 1933.

Rex Jardin, assistant director of facility planning, design and construction, said: "It has good bones, some exquisite finishes, and has beautiful history and historical features, but it does not serve academia. "The classroom is outdated, and the sturdy terracotta walls make phone and network wiring difficult." The building also needs to be renovated to meet ADA and other standards.

After completion, Marshall Hall will include studio space, which can be configured as flexible classrooms to meet different needs and multiple meeting rooms of different sizes. The Marshall Auditorium will be transformed into a mixed classroom. The front of the auditorium will be improved with high-quality auditorium chairs and tablet armrests for laptops and laptops, while the back half of the room will have space for tables and chairs. event. The second elevator at the west end of the building and the bridge connecting the second floor of the building to Bray Hall Hill will greatly improve the accessibility of the building.

Giardine said that iconic architectural features such as the spiral staircase and main entrance will be retained.

A famous scholar claimed that he had discovered a first century gospel fragment. Now he is facing charges of antiquities theft, cover-up and fraud.

Ø

Since February 1, 2012, the auditorium of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been packed with more than 1,000 people. This event was a showdown between two scholars on an explosive question in the study of the Bible: Is the original text of the New Testament lost? Or does the Bible today contain the true word "autographed" by the earliest chronicler of Jesus?

On the one hand, UNC professor and atheist Bart Ehrman (Bart Ehrman), whose best-selling book argues that the oldest copy of the Christian Bible is so inconsistent and incomplete (in small numbers) that the original words cannot be recovered. The other is Daniel Wallace, a conservative scholar at Dallas Theological Seminary, who believes that careful text analysis can reveal the inspiration for the first draft of the New Testament.

They had debated twice before, but this time Wallace had a secret weapon: at the end of his opening speech,

Papyrus from the first century.

When news entered the field of Bible studies, it was a blockbuster. Papyrus is the only known Christian manuscript in the century when Jesus is said to have lived. Moreover, its scriptures are very consistent with those in the modern bible, which proves the reliability of the New Testament and condemns liberal scholars, who believe that this good book is not given by God, but for generations. It’s a mess of generations, easy to invent and modify. , Pranks and mistakes.

Wallace refused to disclose the name of the papyrus expert that dates back to the first century, "I swear to keep it secret," but assured the audience that his "reputation is immeasurable." Many people think he is the best papyrus on the planet. Wallace added that the clip will appear in a book next year.

Although he did not mention it on stage, Wallace recently joined an organization called the "Green Scholars Initiative." The project is funded by the Green family of evangelical billionaires who own the Hobby Lobby handicraft chain. It allows carefully selected scholars to visit the thousands of artifacts that the family has collected for them.

, A soaring $500 million exhibition hall that will open near the National Mall in Washington, DC in a few years

Wallace's connection with the Green Party makes it easy for observers to connect ideas: The Mark Papyrus must be one of the manuscripts the Green Party bought for their museum. The papyrus who formulated the first century must be the world-famous classicist Dirk Obbink. As we all know, the Green Party hired him as a consultant when buying cultural relics frantically.

His enlistment was a coup. Obbink is a tall Nebraska native. The mop has sandy hair. In 2001, the MacArthur Foundation awarded him in his 40s.

. After the eruption of Vesuvius, he reassembled the technique of carbonized papyrus rolls.

.

. 79 is a feat of three-dimensional puzzle solutions.

Obbink is sought after by universities and cultural institutions all over the world. He taught at Columbia University in 1995 and then left Oxford, where it is the largest collection of ancient manuscripts in the world: half of it is papyrus excavated by a pair of young Oxford scholars. Egypt as early as a century ago. Obbink's position as the editor-in-chief of the series (sometimes officially referred to as "director", although sometimes the official name is not), made him one of the most influential figures in the field. Wallace did not exaggerate his qualifications.

However, with the advent of the Phantom manuscript, there has been no news of this "first century mark" for many years. There were no books in 2013 and no exhibitions when the museum opened in 2017. Wallace's blog is filled with hundreds of comments. Readers complained: "It's been five years." "Hurry up!" One person simply quoted from "Proverbs": "Delayed expectations will make the heart sick."

However, in 2018, when Obbink finally released the clip, it made some people's hearts more disgusting. The Green Party will see their dream of the first century gospel shattered. Oxford University will report this news in a labyrinth case involving antiquities theft, cover-up and fraud. One of the most prominent figures in classical literature, despite protesting his innocence, found himself at the center of transatlantic investigations.

He has been buying diamonds since his childhood in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2002, the second year he won the MacArthur Award, his mother Dorithy told

A magazine said that when she was a child, her son had haunted thrift stores and the town’s garbage dump, and brought home a “pile of rubbish”. His fascination with other people's trash continued into his years in New York, where he dived with his daughter's trash can.

The herbalism that summoned him may not be surprising. Papyrus is paper of the ancient world, a disposable medium made from reeds harvested along the Nile River. Its 1,000-year heyday as a writing surface coincides with the Greco-Roman era, the decline of pharaohs, the birth of Christianity, and the arrival of Islam. Obbink teaches students how to dig out brown pieces similar to jigsaw puzzles for lost works of Greek literature and philosophy.

No collection can match the work that Obbink supervises at the Sackler Library in Oxford.

Named after the lost Egyptian city, the city was excavated from an ancient garbage dump and contained the forgotten works of Sophocles, Menander and Sappho; love spells and horoscopes; early gospels from the Hebrew Bible And Greek translation. Decrypting the text is very laborious and the supervision is so strict that only one percent of the fragments have been published since the fragment was discovered. A friend of New York University classicist David Sider told me that as a decoder of tattered manuscripts, Obink is an "absolute master."

When he got the students' attention, they found him fascinated. But Obinke is often as difficult to understand as the text he puts under a microscope. Although it looks like a boy-a helmet with bangs in the middle is an open face-Obbink has a woody air and a monotonous voice, which makes some people feel "cold" or like a former student. As said, "the opposite of charm". Another student said that he "never was there."

West Germany learned not to ask personal questions. Said told me: "He starts to become vague, otherwise his eyes will start to look elsewhere." A friend told the story of Obbink when he was a graduate student at Stanford University and his wife at the time Back in their small apartment, they found the grand piano monopolizing the living room. A former colleague recalled: "She said to him,'Oh, I don't know you played it.' "He said,'Well, you never asked. '"

There are also surprises at work. In 2003, after working at Oxford University for eight years, Obingbink was hired by the University of Michigan as a tenured full-time professor, engaged in powdery disease research, with an annual salary of $105,000. Despite his high qualifications, this proposal is largely to keep his newlywed wife (a famous teacher) in school. The couple has a child, and the management sympathizes with the pressure of a long-distance marriage on the family.

A few years later, a Michigan classicist named Ruth Scodel read these courses carefully while studying Greek poetry at Oxford University. Her teacher was a man, and she thought she went downstairs in Ann Arbor. "I went,

Scodel recalled.

Although Michigan has been doing its best to help his family, the revelation that he never stopped teaching at Oxford eroded his decades-long friendship with Richard Janko, Richard Janko ( Richard Janko was the head of the Michigan Classics Department when he hired Obinke. "It shook my confidence in his role," Janko told me. (Obinck’s lawyer said that both Oxford University and Michigan “know and have given clear contractual permission” for Obinck to double-appoint.)

On April 10, 2012, three weeks before he parted ways with the University of Michigan, Obinbink visited the Ann Arbor County clerk. He submitted a paperwork for the new business and listed its main address as Room 2151 at 435 South State Street, which is his office that will soon become the Michigan Classic Department. He wrote that the company's name is Oxford Ancient.

The Henry VIII Christ Church in 1546 is the most beautiful college that makes up the University of Oxford. The poet WH Auden, the philosopher John Locke and several British prime ministers were all educated on this castle-like land, part of which was used to commemorate Hogwarts.

the film.

One night in November 2011, two American evangelists walked up a flight of stairs in the four corners of the Gothic bell tower in the center of Christ Church. Since Scott Carroll and Jerry Pattengale were together, they have become friends at another Oxford University (a city in southwest Ohio). Received a doctorate in ancient history. Both have taught at Christian universities and provided advice to wealthy collectors, and Hobby Lobby Chairman Steve Green hired them to lay the knowledge base for the National Bible Museum.

Carroll is in charge of the acquisition. This position has played into his self-image, and is the commander called by God to recruit text from the most remote parts of the world. The ringtone of his phone is

, Depicting him wearing shorts and a fedora hat, swinging with a rope in the jungle.

The grumpy Pattengale was appointed as the executive director of education. His job is to establish the Green Scholars Initiative, recruiting world-class scholars to guide the Green Party and invite students to study its rapidly growing collections.

That night, at the top of the stairs, Dirk Obbink opened a black door and let two people into his office, which was a room with a kitchen, a bathroom and a mummy Masks, they stare at the tourists from across the pool table. By then, he had been working on the Hobby Lobby payroll for about a year. For Carroll, he reviewed the manuscripts of dealers all over the world vying to sell to the Green Party. For Pattengale, he will teach acne studies to Green Scholars at the summer seminar.

They spent an hour discussing Obbink's latest work. Then, when Carroll and Pattengale left standing, Obbink called them, as if stopped by a wandering thought. "Well, wait," he said. "I'm here for things that might be of interest to you." He sorted behind the pool table and opened a Manila folder.

Inside is a plastic bag with four ancient works of the New Testament Gospels. Obbink compiled a fragment of Mark, that is, a small axe-shaped papyrus with verses from the first chapter of the Gospel for visitors to read. He explained that the shapes and strokes of certain letters are signs of handwriting in the first century. Obbink described the clip as part of the "family collection" and, according to Carroll, "provided it for consideration" for purchase by Hobby Lobby.

Pattengale felt paralyzed for a while, and Carroll was staggering in the room, unconscious. So far, everything they have done seems suddenly pale.

The next day, when Pattengale flew back to Indiana, "I told my wife Cindy, "If it proves that this is the history of the first century, I might be involved in studying the most important part of the Bible."

When he entered the antiquities market in 2009, he was aggressive. He is an aggressive first-time homebuyer. During the global recession, thousands of people started to burn. Strangers with ancient scrolls, oil lamps, and incunabula approach museum officials without restrictions in restaurants, university lecture halls and even supermarkets.

A possible seller claimed to have a 5,000-year-old Bible that has been completely preserved on the ice on the top of Mount Ararat. Another person took a box of manuscripts to the parking lot of a great steak house near the Hobby Hall headquarters in Oklahoma City. When Carroll rejected him, the dealer put the box on the trunk of Carroll's car and rushed over and shouted: "You will like it. Call me!"

Over the past five years, Green has acquired more than 40,000 artifacts from cuneiform tablets and the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Jewish Torah and the Early American Bible. But he is not indifferent. Green once said: "We are the buyers of story-telling articles." The Christian story he wanted to tell is that the Bible is a "absolutely authoritative and reliable" God-given record.

The Greens don’t want another creation museum or Noah’s Ark theme park. They envisioned a "Christian Smithsonian" as scholars Candida Moss and Joel Baden described it in their book.

-A well-designed and serious-minded organization that records the Bible as a historical manuscript with far-reaching influence.

But secular scholars are skeptical.

Some critics believe that the Bible Museum is nothing more than a costumed version of the Bible.

The Green Party invested their wealth in a ministry, except for the name, all designated the "New Testament" as an unfiltered word for God and the United States as a Protestant country. Its critics believe that the Green Party is too invested in a particular set of religious beliefs, so that it relentlessly presents many texts and traditions of the Bible.

Obink is part of the museum's response to such criticism. He is such a tall scholar that the Green Party can refute allegations of religious prejudice with his participation alone. In Carroll's words, he is "a man without any agenda." When it comes to papyrus (the main text surface at the beginning of Christianity), the Greens might point out that Obingbin is an impartial arbiter. , He can tell honest brokers from experts and find many things in fakes.

According to friends, Obinke did not show obvious religious beliefs. He also doesn't have much patience for those who distort judgment because of their beliefs. "People try to date before [Oxyrhynchus papyri] because they want Christianity to date before reality," Obbink told New Zealand magazines in 2005.

But something happened in front of his new customer. He sniffed the Green Party’s desires and wrote to Scott Carroll in January 2010. He looked forward to "the flourishing of your commendable cause." As his new Like the donor, he closed the e-mail and signed a "blessing". A devout former museum official said that he bowed his head and prayed before the meal in a "dramatic" manner. Even among evangelicals, he was "the most pious person on the table."

A few months after meeting in Christ Church, Obink invited Pattengale to London to show him a batch of papyrus for sale. These people are only a few steps away from Sotheby's (where Pattengale thinks they are going), when Obinck rejected a narrow alley and walked to a chaotic apartment with a Turk in his 30s. The latter took the door with the Yankees jersey.

Pattengale later learned that the businessman named Yakup Eksioglu was suspected by scholars who illegally trafficked papyrus. Eksioglu started using a series of usernames to sell antiquities on eBay in 2008, when social media accounts placed him in Egypt. When Italian papyrus scientist Roberta Mazza roasted Eksioglu's source of debris to pieces in 2017, Eksioglu threatened her. He wrote in a WhatsApp chat later sent to me: “Always look behind you when you walk.” He mentioned an attack in Europe where acid was spilled on the face of the attacker. (Eksioglu said that his antiquities business is completely legal. If the threat to Mazza comes from his phone call, then the threat may be made by some students he knows, called "humor.")

Eksioglu was talking on the cell phone behind the beaded curtain, and Obbink showed Pattengale a fragment that the Coptic purchased from the First Corinthians in the sixth century. Eksioglu wanted to buy it for one million dollars. Pattengale told me that almost as strange as the meeting set-up, Obbink was eager to buy from the Green Party: "Soon, he contacted me to see if we were moving forward and wondering why we didn’t do it, and couldn’t believe we were not. ."

In the fall of 2010, when he received a voice mail, he was in his office at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The caller was a guy named Scott Carroll, and he asked Fish and his students if they wanted to learn papyrus from the Green Collection.

Fish has never heard of Carroll or Greens, let alone any new unresearched manuscripts. If Carroll hadn't named Dirk Obbink, he might be pranking and write down his whole thing.

Fish respects Oxford University professors not only for his scholarship, but also for his role in Fish's own career. Fish found a decline in his doctoral thesis at the University of Texas in the 1990s, when Obbink and him took a summer papyrus course at Oxford University, which brought him to a new topic , And opened the door to the tightly protected Italian papyrus.

It's unbelievable that someone with Obbink's prestige might become a partner with a scholar that Fish has never heard of. Fish wrote to his old mentor to see if it was true.

"If we could work with Scott Carroll, it would be great," Obink replied. "I strongly recommend him to you."

Although Fish doesn't know

Has signed a contract to become the location of the "Green Scholar Initiative". Baylor’s managers knew nothing about Carroll-the Green Collection brought excitement to the students-they provided him with an annual stipend of $100,000 and the title "Research Professor", even though he did not teach any courses, and No research reports have been published.

As one insider said, Carroll has beaten many Baylor professors, making them less knowledgeable than acting masters. He showed up a suitcase full of antiquities and passed them to the surprised professor and students. But nothing is more impressive than the amazing performance he will give in the classic department lounge.

In the time of the Pharaohs, the mummy’s body was fitted with a mask, made of paper pulp, which is a kind of pulp made of stucco, linen and discarded papyrus. Archaeologists in the nineteenth century discovered that it was possible to extract papyrus from the mask by dissolving the plaster and then carefully peeling the tissue paper.

This technique called "disassembly" is clever. But since the ancients were made from waste papyrus (receipts, notes and other temporary objects), there are few major literary discoveries. The probability of discovery by Christians is almost zero: Egyptians stopped using papyrus in mummified masks before the time of Jesus. By the 1960s, due to the lack of moral methods and poor results, the practice of dissipating the death mask of another culture was almost abandoned when there was almost no chance to find the manuscript.

However, Scott Carroll disguised himself as a modern master. Where others found dripping water, he found gold. He once said to the audience at the seminary: "Everything must be done right, including water temperature, drying technology, and the details of "enzyme action." "I dare someone try to do it by themselves, because if they don't know the process, they will waste hundreds of thousands. Dollar. "

On January 16, 2012, Carroll showed Baylor how it was done. He filled the sink in the classic lounge with warm water and Palmolive dish soap, soaked the mummy mask in the soapy water, and then began to wash around. Then he took out a wet fragment and presented it to the awed student.

"He said,'Wow, take a look now and see if you can read it,'"" Medieval Bible scholar David Lyle Jeffrey, a former headmaster of Baylor diocese, recalled that he had helped Manage the relationship between the school and the Green Party. The fragment proved to be a letter from Paul to the Romans. "The children were all signed:'Wow! Wow! "This is the kind of Eureka moment that any professor hopes to inspire college students.

Jeffrey may be the same floor, not because he noticed it when he first met in the classroom.

Before the presentation, Carroll carefully placed a piece of papyrus next to the sink, and Jeffrey glanced at it. When Carroll removed the wet Roman fragment from the mummy mask, Jeffrey realized that this was the piece he saw next to the sink. He realized that Carroll was just pretending to pull it out of the mask.

Two days later, the president of Hobby Lobby

Talking about the fragment of the Romans, he made it the oldest copy of Pauline's letters. Green said: "I discovered this in the past 48 hours." In fact, the sales records will be internally reviewed later, and Hobby Lobby purchased it from Dirk Obbink 18 months ago.

Although it is not yet public, Obink is not just an academic advisor to the Greens: Josephine Dru, the former papyrus curator of the Bible Museum, told me that he is one of their largest papyrus suppliers. . According to a person familiar with the matter, from January 2010 to February 2013, Oubink sold more than 150 pieces of papyrus to the family for a total price of between 4 million and 8 million US dollars. (Jeffrey Kloha, the chief curator of the Bible Museum, has no objection to this figure, but estimates that the total is close to the low end of the range.)

Scott Carroll may claim that Obinke "has no agenda," but in fact Obinke has several. He is a scholar, consultant and seller: the first is loyal to the truth, the second is loyal to the customer, and the third is loyal to himself.

WHO

He taught Greek poetry at Baylor and appeared in a mummy mask to eliminate academic interest in January instead of participating in departmental life. Lecturers like him show their faces well to tenured teachers, and they decide whether to renew their annual teaching contract.

Burris found a spot on a table where Carroll was drying the papyrus he had pulled from the sink, but soon felt his head spinning. Before him was a small fragment of Greek with the quartet in the popular dialect, which is the symbol of Sappho in the sixth century

. A poet from Lesbos, known for his passionate depictions of love. Sappho's work is scarce, so it is admired by classicists. Only one complete poem and fragments of other poems survived, many of which came from Occitus.

Burris soon discovered other fragments that were still soaked, with the same Sapphic markings. He searched for the surviving words through a search engine: they not only overlap with known Sappho poems, but are full of previously unknown words and sentences.

"I was terrified," Burris told me. "I think I have said a word or two-'holy' unless there is no

. He remembered Carol taking a look at him with a grin: "Oh, did you find anything?" The lounge became a standing room. Burris gave an impromptu speech on the poet's work. A professor cried.

Burris is a lecturer and has published relatively few papers. But he is here and deserves international headlines. For various reasons, he wanted to believe this.

But some feelings. The layout of these Sappho works allows even non-Sappho experts like him to find several in just a few minutes. (He will eventually find 20 of them.) He wants to know: Does Carroll somehow know what's in the mask before unwrapping it?

Later that day, Carroll wrote to the students: "I am currently in contact with our public relations company", hoping to make news about this. But there was no news release, and miraculously, Burris's discovery never leaked.

According to Jeffrey, two months later, Carroll told Baylor that if he wants to continue using the "Green Collection", he will need a larger salary. (Carroll said he never asked for a raise, and Jeffrey was really dissatisfied with how much Baylor had already paid him.)

The unpleasant request and his concerns about the mummy mask prompted Jeffrey to study Carol's resume. He discovered that the six books Carroll claimed to have written did not actually exist.

Carroll was expelled from Baylor and the Greens in May 2012, but they no longer needed him at that time. Both have begun to strengthen their ties with Oxford University professors, and the latter seems to be no different.

Obbink is indeed the opposite of Carroll: it is retained among professors at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

However, in the ten years since Obbink won the genius award, some colleagues believe that he has lived up to his high expectations. Some people think he is too distracted, chasing every short-lived opportunity instead of pursuing the kind of single-minded research

, His works in 1996 made him rise to the highest echelon of classical academics. The MacArthur Foundation has noticed

2 should have been released in 2003. Seventeen years later, it has not yet been published.

He even worked hard to finish the article. In a crowded elevator at a classic conference, when an academic editor jokingly asked how many others were waiting for Obinke's work, half of his hands were raised.

As the years go by, Obink seems to want to monetize his work. This is a common practice in the scientific community, but it is rare in the humanities. In 2011, he co-founded a start-up company with Chinese entrepreneurs and the Oxford Seed Fund to design a desktop manuscript scanner. British business records showed that the company's funds were lost. (Patengale told me that the scanner boxes were stacked along the wall of Obbink's office and were not sold.) In 2012, Oxford Ancient came, and in 2014, a family called

, He co-founded with a Michigan man named Mahmoud Elder.

By 2013, the Museum of the Bible paid Obbink US$6,000 a month, twice the highest cost of other scholars in its scholarship initiative.

At events sponsored by the Green Party, Obinke sometimes wore a white lab coat and soaked wedges of mummified cartilage in soapy water. "He said,'This is what the scholars do,'" recalled Jeremiah Coogan, a student who had studied. "We are quite interested in'this is why you discovered the New Testament papyrus papyrus'"-just like other scholars, Coogan quickly recognized this line.

Obbink once kept hundreds of unsorted mummy masks from Oxford University in his room for university use because the school's storage space was short. But a long-time colleague told me that he had never seen Obinke dismount. "This kind of thing never happened in his university teaching."

It's not that Obinke has not considered it. In an interview with a German newspaper in 2005, he fantasized about the potential rewards of poetry and drama. However, as the newspaper reported, “experts no longer use this method.” Five years later, Obbink seemed to give up any restrictions: “Suitable for disassembly/dissolution,” he wrote in his sales document, which was Hobby Lobby in 2010. Bought a mask from him in

This is one of about 20 masks sold by Obinke green vegetables. A source who had seen these figures told me that in addition to the US$4 million to US$8 million he collected for papyrus, the whole family paid him US$1 million to US$2 million to purchase many other cultural relics. Among them is a medieval Latin manuscript entitled "On Stolen Things".

Headlines appear all over the world: Obink discovered a pair of breathtaking new poems from Sappho, a papyrus rescued from a mummy mask. "For a few months, it was just me and a girl named Sappho, and there was nothing between me and the text," Obink said on BBC Radio. "It's like sinking a ship on a desert island with Marilyn Monroe."

However, Obinke refused to disclose the owner of the papyrus or publish its provenance documents. in

Douglas Boin, a historian at St. Louis University, called Obbink's secret a "disturbing sound deafness" during the "catastrophic" robbery in the Middle East. The following year, Christie’s produced a 26-page booklet in which two "Sappho" poems were sold "through a private treaty". In this transaction, the auction house quietly approached potential buyers. Not a public auction.

Obbink finally tells a puzzling story about an anonymous London businessman who bought the horn onna at a Christie’s auction in 2011, dissolved it, and then brought the extracted papyrus to Obbink, the latter Two Sapphic poems were found. The merchant then puts on the market about 20 small scraps ("not easily identifiable...and considered insignificant") that were also pulled from the can maker. By accident, the broker sold them to the Green Collection, where Obink chose them as more sapphires.

Christian manuscript scholar Brent Nongbri has determined

The origin proposed by Obbink, Carroll or Bettany Hughes-the British Broadcasting Corporation, has featured Obbink in many of its TV and radio programs. None of these accounts include the details witnessed by a large group of people: in 2012, Simon Burris found smaller pieces of Sappho wood in the crowded classic department lounge at Baylor.

A source close to the Green People told me that some sapphire fragments "discovered" by Burris can be seen in the photo on December 7, 2011, more than a month before Carroll removed them from Baylor's soapy water . These images appeared in the papyrus invoice purchased by the Greens on January 7, 2012. The seller is Yakup Eksioglu.

In a WhatsApp chat in February of this year, Eksioglu told me that he was indeed the source of all Sappho clips-20 small clips "discovered" at Baylor, and a blockbuster with two new poems. He said that the claim that they came from Descartes purchased at Christie's auction in 2011 is a "false story." When I asked why some works looked like they were embedded in mayonnaise in the photo, he suggested that they be staged: "This is a very simple method that can be done by wetting." Exio Eksioglu said that the Saffos family has been in his "family collection" for at least a century.

When I asked for corroboration, he said he didn't want to disturb his relatives. In any case, no one knows except him. In many of our contacts, Eksioglu traded with conspiracy theories and issued statements, which he later admitted to be a lie. But even if only the well-documented claim is correct (he sold the smaller green Sappho scraps to the Greens), it exposed Carroll’s Baylor demonstrations as slander and discredit the origins of Binbink. The key part of the story.

When I told Carroll what I found, he admitted that Sappho and Roman fragments were implanted in Baylor's mask that day. He said his purpose is to teach students how to recognize papyrus, not how to remove masks. Unsure of what he would recover from the mask, he decided to mix some exciting works from the Green Collection. "At the time, I didn't think it was twofold."

The representatives of the Green Party had known for a long time that Exoglu was the origin of the new Sappho. However, even with more and more problems, they still remain silent. "Interestingly, almost no sapphire has surfaced in decades, and there are now many," a senior official of the Bible Museum wrote to two other people on July 11, 2012. The official added, "Eksioglu", "You may all know that he is the main channel for surfacing many of the best materials."

One of them replied: "This is a potential problem." "Where does it come from?"

Oxyrhynchus Papyri is owned by the Egyptian Exploration Society, and a London charity funded the excavation work. The public's criticism of Obinck's Sappho deal has seriously plagued the European economic system. The editor-in-chief of the collection has no relationship with the buyer or seller of the antiquities. At a meeting in London in July 2014, EES officials gave Obbink an ultimatum: to establish contact with the Green Party or lose his editorial position.

That night, after Obink returned to Oxford University, he went to the hotel where Jerry Patengnar and Steve Green stayed during the summer meeting of the Green Scholar Initiative. They sat down on the outdoor patio and Obbink told them about the mission of EES.

Pattengale recalled: "He sweats a lot." If EES excludes Obbink from Oxyrhynchus Papyri, then he will lose his reason for existence because of his position in Oxford-and maybe his position.

Pattengale sent the Green Party to provide a chair for Obbink at Oxford University, so that he can stay at the university even if he cannot use the series. Pattengale told me: "This is just to treat someone who was once very helpful." But he was rejected. Cary Summers, then chairman of the Museum of the Bible, believed that Baylor's teaching job at Obbink was a better contingency plan. "It's dishonest," Pattengale told me. "This will be the museum funding Baylor to fund him"-covering up his ties with the Green Party so that even if he spends some time in Texas during the year, he can maintain his collection of Oxyrhynchus Access. (Not responding to multiple interview requests in summer.)

Obinke told EES that he had broken with the Green Party. In fact, a source told me that the Museum of the Bible continued to fund his projects and paid him a monthly allowance of US$6,000. If EES is discovered, Obbink may need to complete a new job quickly.

In September 2014, two months after the EES ultimatum, Obbink

It is only a short drive from the Baylor campus. Baylor classicist Fish was dumbfounded.

The 124-year-old Cattelan Castle built of sandstone, Carrara marble and Honduras mahogany is a completely misplaced structure surrounded by a used car and damaged by water stains and graffiti. When I visited Waco last fall, people told me that teenagers had a Halloween tradition, breaking into vacant buildings and sneaking into the top floors from the darkness.

Does Obinck plan to live in the castle? Does he hope that the flaunting civic credibility (restoring the eyes of the infamous Waco) will improve his prospects for getting a full-time job from Baylor? No one in the university seems to know.

"I think it reminded him of Oxford University," Tom Lupfer, a decorator hired by Obink, told me. Lupfer showed me these plans: an underground garage, an elevator, a spiral staircase leading from the sundeck to the swimming pool, a pool house with changing rooms. Lupfer warned Obbink that this work will take several years and cost up to $1.4 million. Obink did not flinch, but Lupfer wanted to know how a person with an academic salary could afford such a luxury.

Taken on a smartphone on a bench in a church in Charlotte, North Carolina. When addressing conservative Christians at the pulpit, Scott Carroll said that he saw the first century Mark’s Gospel at Oxford University in Christ Church College...has an outstanding, famous, and famous The classicist... Dirk Obbink, he believes that papyrus can be traced back to

. 70 years old-Most scholars believe that the Gospel was written first in the same year.

Daniel Wallace is no longer telling a vague second-hand story during the debate. This is the witness of name, date and place. The video tape disturbed the Egyptian Adventure Association and began to review all unpublished "New Testament" papyrus. It is understood that a researcher from Obinck discovered a small part of Mark in the 2011 collection. The curator had photographed this work as early as the 1980s, but never discovered it.

Was this the discovery Wallace announced at the University of North Carolina, or was it a discovery Carroll confirmed in church videos four years later?

In front of EES, Obbink admitted that he had a fragment of Mark of Oxyrhynchus in his office and showed it to Carroll. But he insisted that he never said he wanted to sell. EES instructed him to "prepare to publish it as soon as practicable, so as not to further guess its date and content."

Obink can undoubtedly foresee the consequences of the publication: When the images of the fragments are made public, Patengaller, Carroll and Wallace will recognize that the papyrus he had allegedly provided to the Green Party as early as ten years ago. Papyrus. They will notice that he has published the book in the official EES Papyrus series and has never been publicly sold. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that they will see Obbink’s new date: In a serious academic book, he assigns what they call the “first century mark” to the end of the second or early third century, making it Far less compelling.

In 2016, EES refused to renew Obbink as the editor-in-chief and took the key to the papyrus house. Unless he is supervised by Daniela Colomo, the curator of the collection, he will no longer be able to work there. The following year, as the deadline for Obbink to edit the prince approached, his editors seemed to think he might never finish. EES did not want to endure any further delays, and instead invited Colomo and Ben Henry, the researcher of the series, to complete the design for him.

At the same time, the new curator of the Bible Museum began to make disturbing discoveries about the Papyrus of the Green Party. David Trobisch, who is in charge of the museum's collection, called it Eksioglu when he opened in Istanbul. The trader picked up Trobisch at his hotel at 2 am, sent him to a high-rise apartment, and gave him a cigar and whiskey. Trobisch asked Eksioglu where he sold his green papyrus. Trobisch told me: "He has no records, nothing, he can't help me."

But Exiolu hopes Trobisch can help

. The dealer put a cardboard box with at least 1,000 pieces of papyrus scraps on his kitchen table, hoping to sell it again. "Where did it come from?" Trobisch asked. Eksioglu was vague about the war and the Syrian issue, and then imitated the locals by stomping their toes on the ground and tripping the antiquities.

"It's over," Trobisch replied. (Eksioglu denied meeting with Trobisch and said that a student replaced him.)

Later that day, when Trobisch met with Green’s Turkish papyrus supplier, “he wanted to know if I would come with the police.”

In December 2017, Trobisch and his upcoming successor, Jeffrey Kloha (Jeffrey Kloha) went to Oxford to ask Obbink about the source of his papyrus. "He said there were no [origin documents] in his office, he would check it later and forward them to me later," Kloha told me. "He never produces anything." Next month, the Greens broke all ties with Obinke.

When the Mark fragment was finally published in the book in April 2018

, Which just ignited the academic fire that anyone could have expected. Brent Nongbri wrote bitterly on his influential blog: "There seems to be more to this story."

Michael Holmes succeeded Pattengale as the head of the Scholars Initiative and flew to London to meet with the leaders of the Egyptian Adventure Society. The leader of the Egyptian Adventure Society still doubts that Obbink might sell Oxyrhynchus papyri, despite his other shortcomings.

While having lunch at a private club, Holmes withdrew from the purchase agreement between Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and Dirk Obbink. The document co-signed by Oxford University professors on February 4, 2013 shows that Obinck not only sold Mark papyrus, but also sold fragments of Matthew, Luke and John. In the contract, Oubink described the manuscript as his personal property, vowed to "hand/carry" the manuscript from "Oxford Antiquity", and trace all four dates back to the unprecedented "approximately 100 AD" in history. So that each manuscript is kind of worth millions.

When EES officials saw the contract, Holmes told me: "Their uncertainty soon disappeared." They banned Obbink from adding to the collection.

The Bible Museum began to send EES images of every papyrus purchased by the Green Party from any seller. EES officials compare them with society’s own photographic works

. From the written description provided by Hobby Lobby, it identified another four: Ebbink’s sales contract dates back to the first century of the gospel, although EES says it’s actually not that old.

An insider told me that 15 of Ebbin's fragments were sold to the Greens by Obbink for more than $1.5 million. Among them is Carroll, who was scrapped by the Romans who pretended to be pulled out of Baylor's mummy mask in 2012.

The Greens bought two other EES clips from the family business of Alan Baidun, a Jerusalem businessman who appeared to have served as an intermediary for Obbink. (Baidun did not answer multiple e-mails and phone calls, but had previously refused to pass the speaker’s improper behavior.)

EES soon found the other half of the papyrus in the collection of Andrew Stimer, a wealthy collector in California, who had sold four Dead Sea scrolls to Green, which were later sold by the Bible Museum. Out.

. (Stimer disputes the forgery found in the museum.)

Timer of the International Organization of the Ministry of Hope, which is in charge of evangelical ministry, said that he purchased two fragments from a "sir" in 2015. Mr. Elder, Dearborn, Michigan. When scholars saw images of these fragments from the Romans and 1 Corinthians, they realized that the Bible Museum had adjacent fragments on the same leaf. According to the EES photos, it seemed that someone had cut off the scriptures. These verses are complete in Oxford." Sir. M. Elder" has sold one pair of cut edges to Stimer, and Obbink has sold another pair of cut edges to Green. (Mahmoud Elder declined to comment, citing what he called a "customer confidentiality agreement.")

The list of Stimer collections provided to me by the source shows that the other two papyrus (Exodus and Psalms) have been "withdrawn" or sold by the seminaries in Berkeley, California and Dayton, Ohio. This is a lie: both fragments belong to EES. (Stimer told me that he "deceived", returned the EES footage, and tried to recover the "large amount of money" he had paid. He said that Obbink listed the seminary at Berkeley and Dayton as sources in a later academic report .buy.)

For most of the stolen papyrus, EES corresponding stock cards and photos were also lost. The thief seemed to try to conceal his trace by erasing the evidence of the papyrus. In the collection of about one million pieces, perhaps you will never miss them.

But the thief was wrong: Copies of the list exist in various locations, including University College London.

EES said that using this backup, it has been determined so far

"It seems to be lost, almost all from a limited number of folders." The UK may warn lightly: "There may be more cases."

EES reported the findings to the Thames Valley Police Station on November 12. On March 2, the police detained Obbink on suspicion of theft and fraud. As of press time, no allegations have been made.

For me, it is completely wrong that I have stolen, moved or sold items from the Egyptian Exploration Society of Oxford University. "Obinke said in a statement issued in October last year that EES and the Bible Museum announced the results of the initial joint investigation. "I will never betray the trust of my colleagues, and I have been in the so-called way throughout my career. Strive to protect and maintain the values. He secretly hinted that he might have been framed, but declined to give details.

A few days later, in the second week of the fall semester at Oxford University, Obink was relieved of his teaching duties.

Later that week, I went to Oxford University and knocked on the doorbell in a seemingly comfortable but not very luxurious house with a small swimming pool at the end of a tree-lined alley. When Obbink opened the door, he was wearing black jeans, pull-on shoes and a tan shirt with stylized military epaulettes.

I said I was there because I wanted to hear his story.

He said, "I really want to tell everyone," but Oxford University has almost no prophet's calmness, "but I have a responsibility not to talk about this during the investigation."

In April, I sent a detailed list of questions to Obbink and his lawyers. His lawyer made three small clarifications in his reply, but said Obinke could not comment otherwise because he owed "Oxford University to maintain confidentiality in its ongoing internal procedures."

The Green Party has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs to be kept secret, and the Green Party wants to shout to the world. Carol wrote to Steve Green in an email in June 2011: "In any case, Dirk is the most strategic friend and supporter of everything we do.

In the process of negotiating with Hobby Lobby to sell the four "first century" fragments, Obbink requested a series of highly irregular contract terms: no public announcement of the acquisition; Obbink can never be called a seller. These fragments will stay in his office in Oxford for four years-after which he will have what he calls "a kind of "joint guardianship" with "visiting rights."

Pattengal later allowed the whole arrangement to be "a bit far-fetched." But at the time, all he could think of was how much he wished Hobby Lobby had a gospel book so close to the time of Jesus. He emailed his boss, urging them to meet Obinck's request. They finally did it.

Last fall, when I met Jeff Fish at the Baylor campus, he felt a bit of pain when he talked about the man he was once respected. What pained him the most was that Obink tried to play him as a gangster-assuring him of Carol's sincerity and encouraging him to publish papyrus, which EES later claimed was stolen.

"I'm very used to it," Fish said.

Baylor has brought Obinke to campus for lectures and short-term seminars several times, and Baylor has been on the cusp of the storm. When Fish intervenes, he will provide him with a full-time, life-time job in 2018. Fish warned the classic chairman: "This would be a terrible mistake." Obink never got an offer.

His payment to Lupfer, the renovator of the Texas castle, was soon defaulted. In February 2019, he sold the property to Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Waco couple behind the HGTV series

. According to Lupfer, considering the $200,000 he spent on renovations, Obbink lost approximately $100,000.

He gave 5,000 papyrus to Egypt. It is acceptable that, in fact, every papyrus in his collection has insufficient evidence to show that it has not been stolen, looted or acquired by other improper means. He said that for the same reason, he is repatriating 6,500 clay artifacts to Iraq, of which 3,500 are Iraqi artifacts that Hobby Lobby surrendered to resolve the 2017 federal smuggling case.

Green and his museum tried to portray themselves as being bound by early stumbling blocks, and were determined to make changes-not only to clean up their failures, but also to reform the system. Green said: "I trusted the wrong people to guide me and inadvertently dealt with unethical dealers in the early years."

Scholars praised the latest reforms. But Green’s efforts to blame were empty in some ways.

In 2010, Green participated in a lecture very early in his blitz. The lecture was commissioned by DePaul University professor Patty Gerstenblith, one of the world's most famous experts in cultural property law. Gerstenblith told me: "I warned him, he will keep going no matter what." With hundreds of millions of dollars in spending power, Green has the ability to ask hard questions about the source before handing over the money to the dealer. An investigation was ordered. But he never did.

In the Obbink case, Green and his representatives disguised themselves as the unsuspecting liar of the planner. Green told me that because of his "outstanding reputation and position in academia," he did not see the conflict between Obbink's dual roles as consultant and seller. He added: "I will never deliberately buy anything that is forged or stolen."

Green has returned the stolen fragments of Oxyranchus to Oxford. He told me that in 2018, Hobby Lobby asked Obingbin to return the four "first century" pieces it bought for him. "Gospel fragments of money.

Green told me: "Professor Obinck promised many times that he would repay us and asked for time. We patiently gave him." He said that Obinck reimbursed $10,000 last summer but was suspected of theft last fall. After the spread, the communication ceased.

Until Oxford, EES or the police reveal more information, many questions remain unanswered. But in the eyes of some devout critics, the last chapter of this legend will be written by a superior authority. "Believers who believe in the truth of the Bible cannot act like pirates,"

last year

, Ireland’s largest religious newspaper. "If they want to help establish the truth, they must do it through legal means... ... God's truth deserves it."

The masseuse Suratsawadee Pokapanich said that all measures are being taken to keep clients healthy.

She added: "We avoid any massage close to the neck and face."

The cinema reopened under strict social distancing. Each theater can accommodate up to 200 people, with vacancies on both sides of each customer, and vacant seats in front.

Staff wearing gloves and masks checked the temperature of everyone entering the theater. After each inspection, staff wearing full protective clothing will spray disinfectant on each row of seats.

Narute Jiensnong, chief marketing officer of Cineplex, said that social distancing requirements mean VIP treatment for customers.

Sarah Johnston

After committee chairman Chris Larson resigned earlier this fall, and vice chairman Sarah Johnston resigned in November, only the Teton County Planning and Zoning Committee remained. The next long-term member. 

This seven-member committee is responsible for serving as an advisory group on planning, land use, and development policies and issues. Until recently, there were experienced members on the P&Z bench. Before September 2019, there were four new members 

 In order to replace the outgoing commissioner, P&Z has not had any turnover since 2015. However, with the departure of Johnston and Larson, Commissioner Jack Haddox has the most seniority among the young boards and was appointed chairman on November 10. 

Sarah Johnston, who has been in office since 2015, resigned on November 7; program administrator Gary Armstrong told the county commissioner that Johnston could not devote enough time to P&Z due to family, work, and concerns about COVID. 

Johnston served as a member of the Teton County Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee from 2012 to 2019. He became a member of the Teton County Road Committee in 2014 and has been serving on the Steering Committee of the Land Development Code. As a civil engineer and owner of Arrowleaf Engineering, Johnston is able to solve planning topics and infrastructure issues with his unique technical expertise. Johnston declined to be interviewed when he left P&Z. 

Chris Larson worked in Tea County P&Z, Utah for 8 years, and worked as a planning commissioner in Park City, Utah for 12 years. His planning process for urban and rural areas Very familiar. On the eve of the 2002 Winter Olympics, he served in Park City. Larson recalled: "There was a lot of money coming in, and there was a lot of pressure for development." "We wanted to stop a lot of things. It's hard to afford large sums of money, and the same is true here. 

When current county commissioner Kathy Rinaldi persuaded Larson to join P&Z in Teton County, he learned a lot about rural planning. At his first meeting, he said that someone used the word "ag" and Larson had to ask what it meant. Every month he attends meetings with new agricultural issues and raises them to his committee members. 

Larson believes that the greatest achievement during P&Z's tenure was the adoption of the new county comprehensive plan in 2012. 

He said: "This is a big deal." "There was a meeting in the high school auditorium and the mood was high. We tried to figure out that there were a lot of people on both sides. What do we want this community? I think the final product is a good document. It laid a solid foundation for the future development of Teton County, Idaho." 

Eight years later, efforts are still being made to adopt land development regulations consistent with the comprehensive plan. Larson will continue to serve as a member of the steering committee and said it is expected that draft regulations will be formulated soon, when the county will begin another phase of public awareness. 

Larson said: "Even if I feel I have fulfilled my obligations to P&Z, I still promise to develop the code, so I insist on this." He added that he wanted to take a one-year vacation from public service, but he Acknowledge that if the right volunteer position appears, it might look like six months. 

After years of development pressure and economic prosperity and depression, Larson said that he learned to listen to public opinions and communicate. 

"A lot of times I will attend meetings without knowing it. I want to see what people have to say, be open-minded and have no predetermined decisions. This is very important learning for me." He said. 

Regarding P&Z’s turnover, Larson said: “As a commissioner, you like to rely on experience and institutional history when making decisions, regardless of whether you agree with another member’s philosophy.” Fortunately, he added that last year, senior members and plans The department has been working to make the new commissioners master the process as soon as possible and educate them. 

Tim Watters, a member of the board of directors of the Teton Valley Community Foundation, was selected to fill Larson's seat. Waters joined current P&Z members Jack Haddox, Aidan Sullivan, Erica Tremblay, Patrick McDonnell and Bert Michelbacher. The county is currently soliciting applications from people in Johnston who are interested in replacing the committee. Interested letters can be submitted to
