For some of us, Facebook is a place to share photos, watch videos, and catch up on the top news stories making the rounds. For others, it's a platform for talking politics and bashing anyone who'd dare to disagree.

You know the type. Maybe it's your uncle, who's always sharing stories about LGBT issues, or your family friend who likes every pro-gun "Page" she can find, or that guy you knew in college who kept posting media reactions to the Benghazi hearing. They're the people who are most likely to get in heated comment feuds and who, depending on your political leanings, the people you're most likely to unfollow as the 2016 election season heats up. They're also the people that the presidential candidates want on their sides. Now, Facebook is making it even easier to get in front of them.

  Facebook uses all of these actions to determine if users are liberal or conservative, then segments that audience for political campaigns.

This week, Facebook is rolling out a new feature that enables advertisers to target so-called "political influencers." These are people who like lots of political Pages, click on political ads, and share content from political parties and organizations. Facebook uses all of these actions to determine if users are liberal or conservative, then segments that audience for political campaigns.

"People are more likely to trust information that their friends share," says Matt Idema, Facebook's vice president of monetization product marketing, "so it is valuable for campaigns to reach people who frequently share political information on Facebook."

Preaching to the choir isn't always at the top of a political campaign's to-do list. More often than not, it's the undecided voters and the people who don't have much voting history that campaigns spend the bulk of their time and money trying to convince. And yet Idema is right that word of mouth recommendations are far more effective than advertisements could ever be, making this segment particularly important to campaigns.

Of course, there are already plenty of ways for candidates to target supporters—and potential supporters—on Facebook. With Facebook's custom audiences, they can even upload their own supporter databases and target ads directly to those people. The problem is, they have no way of knowing whether or not those people even talk about politics online. By layering the political influencer filter on that audience, it's all but guaranteed. The hope is that all these noisy Facebook users will amplify the candidate's message, and help lead the grassroots movement online.

question: What new feature is Facebook rolling out?

answer: Facebook is rolling out a new feature that lets advertisers target political influencers.

question: How does Facebook determine who is a political influencer?

answer: Facebook determines who clicks on political ads, who likes and shares things of political nature, and determines their political leanings.

question: Who are political campaigns targeting?

answer: Political campaigns are targeting undecided voters and people with not much voting history.

question: How can advertisers already target supporters?

answer: Advertisers can already use custom audiences with their supporter databases.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: Facebook is releasing a new feature to let advertisers target political influencers. They locate these influencers through their like and share history, as well as advertisement clicks. Facebook already has a similar feature, but this new one will be more effective.

###Parenting
A small but courageous child enters a restroom and hears the distinct sound of expletives and running water.  Two men are standing there.  One, older at age twenty-six, washes his hands, and mutters constantly about the "fucking fucks out to kill him."  The other, physically aged around 50, uses the urinal placed conveniently in front of him to block out all knowledge that there is a man beside him washing away either his sins or his sanity.  Given the entrance of the child, one would hope that the muttering man might halt his fearful utterances to protect the ears of the unworthy and unprepared, but he continues his rant.  One might also pray that the suddenly cautious and unsocial child might back away from this conversation of insanity.  He does not, and moves quickly past them into the bathroom stall.  This is much to the dismay of both the fifty year old man and the urinal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The boy hums the tune to his favorite television series as he allows the urine to escape the dark depths of his body and bathe within the thin fluorescent lighting of the bathroom.  Barely realizing that it is free at last, the urine ends its journey in the rusted and moist pipes of the plumbing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The fifty year old man, no longer able to feign his usage of the urinal without looking like a coward in the presence of a child, takes a deep breath and asks why the crazed man is washing his hands so much.  Silence.  The sudden quiet brings fear into the fifty year old man, and he almost forgets to fear for the child situated nearby.  The urinal begins to beckon to the physically aged gentleman again, but he resists the comfort its gleaming, porcelain surface offers.  He begins to ask again, but only a breath of air escapes as the cleanly shaven head of the twenty-six year old man turns toward him and becomes furrowed.  His dark blue eyes pierce into the fifty year old man’s mind.  The silence deafens the occupants of the restroom.  The tune of the child has stopped.  The only remaining sound is that of the delusional man's sink.  A family of cockroaches recently made their home in the drainpipes of that sink.  Supposedly able to withstand the power of a nuclear bomb, they now silently drown in the liquid that gave them life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
A toilet flushes in the child's stall, ending what could have been an eternity of silence.  The child exits his realm of safety, washes his hands in the twenty-six year old man's sink, and says goodbye to the two men of the bathroom.  He concludes his restroom adventure by leaving through the same cruel door that allowed the three bathroom occupants entrance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The two men glance at each other.  The mentally mature man had considered pulling out a small pocket knife and unjustifiably killing the fifty-year old man, but the sight of the child disrupted these thoughts.  Reminded of his childhood, the mature man weeps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the child arrives safely back into the hands of his parents within the Applebee's.  A sweet and smiling waiter asks him what he would like to order.  The child shyly refuses to answer, but after some encouragement from his parents, one word escapes his lips: fuck.

People with “body integrity identity disorder” often feel the urge to amputate limbs
(Image: Image Source / Rex)

It’s a bizarre and rare disorder, but its consequences can be horrific. One man with body integrity identity disorder (BIID) dumped his lower leg in dry ice for several hours until doctors were forced to amputate. Others have resorted to wood chippers and gunshots to do away with healthy limbs they never wanted.

Now a study of four men with BIID suggest their condition is linked to reduced activity in a brain area involved in forming a mental body map.

“They can feel the body being touched, but it does not integrate into their sense of body image,” says Paul McGeoch, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego, who presented the study at a recent conference on the condition in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany.

“They know the limb is part of their body, but it’s ‘more’ than it should be. It should be gone,” he adds.

Sexual oddity

The disorder, also known as apotemnophilia, was first described in 1977 by the American sexologist John Money. He classified it as an intense sexual desire to have an amputation, hence its original name, which is Greek for love of amputation.

Most patients, however, don’t describe their desire to be amputees as sexual, says Michael First, a psychiatrist at Columbia University in New York who has conducted extensive interviews with dozens of patients.

“It’s very, very rare,” First says of all forms of the disorder. “I’ve been working on this condition now, researching it for 8 years, and I almost never get calls from therapists saying ‘I have somebody with this. I need your advice.’ “

Brain malfunction

Explanations for how BIID develops have run the gamut, from a cry for attention to early childhood exposure to an amputee, McGeoch notes. Those explanations “seemed absolute nonsense to us”, he says.

Instead, he and co-author David Brang theorise that the disorder is caused by a malfunction in a brain area called the right parietal lobe. Other studies have linked this region to people’s representation of their own body: stroke patients who suffer damage to this area sometimes fail to recognise a limb as their own.

“We suggest that perhaps apotemnophillia, or BIID or whatever you want to call it, is a cognitive variation on this – there’s something cognitively wrong with their right parietal lobe,” McGeoch says.

To test this hypothesis, McGoech’s team recruited four men with BIID via internet support groups. Though precise numbers are hard to come by, the disorder is about 10 times more common in men than in women.

Scanning evidence

The team tested subjects using a non-invasive brain imaging technology called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures the tiny magnetic fields created when neurons fire.

When researchers touched the limb that BIID subjects perceived as normal, their right parietal lobe kicked into action. When they touched the limb subjects wanted gone, activity in the right parietal lobe didn’t change.

One patient who wanted both his legs amputated registered no increased activity at all, McGeoch’s team found. Meanwhile, four volunteers with no desire to hack off a limb cranked up their right parietal lobes when researchers touched either leg.

“The fact that they’re able to scan anybody is amazing,” given the rarity of BIID, says First. He guesses that no more than a few thousand people worldwide have the disorder.

Warped body image

He is, however, not yet convinced that a deficit in the right parietal lobe causes BIID. It’s also possible that a strong desire to amputate a limb could transform neural circuitry in a brain region responsible for body image, he says. “There’s a chicken-and-egg problem here.”

The limb that patients want amputated can change throughout their lifetime, First notes. “That can’t be explained by a cognitive mismapping [of the limb].”

Deeper insight into the causes of BIID could offer insight into how to treat the condition. Drugs that alleviate symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorders are one possibility worth testing, First says.

Yet many patients see an actual amputation as the best treatment possible. “I have never heard of them regretting it,” McGeoch says. “They’re always delighted.”

 President James K. Polk

James K. Polk. Hulton Archive/Getty Images
LIFE SPAN: Born: November 2, 1795, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Died: June 15, 1849, Tennessee

James Knox Polk died at the age of 53, after becoming very ill, and possibly contracting cholera during a visit to New Orleans. His widow, Sarah Polk, outlived him by 42 years.

PRESIDENTIAL TERM: March 4, 1845 - March 4, 1849

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Though Polk seemed to rise from relative obscurity to become president, he was quite competent in the job. He was known to work hard in the White House, and his administration's great accomplishment was in extending the United States to the Pacific Coast through the use of diplomacy as well as armed conflict.

Polk's administration has always been closely linked to the concept of Manifest Destiny.

SUPPORTED BY: Polk was affiliated with the Democratic Party, and was closely allied with President Andrew Jackson. Growing up in the same part of the country as Jackson, Polk's family naturally supported Jackson's style of populism.

OPPOSED BY: Polk's opponents were the members of the Whig Party, which had formed to oppose the policies of the Jacksonians.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS: Polk's one presidential campaign was in the election of 1844, and his involvement was a surprise to everyone, including himself. The Democratic Convention in Baltimore that year was unable to choose a winner between two strong candidates, Martin Van Buren, a former president, and Lewis Cass, a powerful political figure from Michigan. After rounds of inconclusive balloting, Polk's name was placed in nomination, and he eventually won. Polk was thus known as the country's first dark horse candidate.

While he was being nominated at a brokered convention, Polk was at home in Tennessee. He only found out days later that he was running for president.

SPOUSE AND FAMILY: Polk married Sarah Childress on New Year's Day, 1824. She was the daughter of a prosperous merchant and land speculator. The Polks had no children.

EDUCATION: As a child on the frontier, Polk received a very basic education at home. He attended school in his late teens, and attended college in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from 1816 until his graduation in 1818. He then studied law for a year, which was traditional at the time, and was admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1820.

EARLY CAREER: While working as a lawyer, Polk entered politics by winning a seat in the Tennessee legislature in 1823. Two years later he successfully ran for Congress, and served seven terms in the House of Representatives from 1825 to 1839.

In 1829 Polk became closely aligned with Andrew Jackson at the outset of his administration. As a member of congress Jackson could always rely upon, Polk played a role in some major controversies of Jackson's presidency, including Congressional squabbles over the Tariff of Abominations and the Bank War.

LATER CAREER: Polk died only months after leaving the presidency, and thus had no post-presidential career. His life after the White House amounted to a mere 103 days, the shortest time anyone has lived as a former president.

UNUSUAL FACTS: While in his late teens Polk underwent serious and excruciating surgery for bladder stones, and it has long been suspected that the surgery left him sterile or impotent.

DEATH AND FUNERAL: After serving a single term as president, Polk left Washington on a long and roundabout route back home to Tennessee. What was supposed to be a celebratory tour of the South turned tragic as Polk's health began to fail. And it appeared that he had contracted cholera during a stop in New Orleans.

He returned to his estate in Tennessee, to a new house that was still unfinished, and seemed to recover for a time. But he suffered a relapse of illness, and died on June 15, 1849. After a funeral at a Methodist church in Nashville he was buried in a temporary tomb, and then a permanent grave at his estate, Polk Place.

 Legacy

Polk has often been cited as a successful 19th century president as he set goals, which were primarily related to the expansion of the nation, and accomplished them. He also was aggressive in foreign affairs and expanded the executive powers of the presidency.

Polk is also considered to have been the strongest and most decisive president in the two decades before Lincoln. Though that judgment is colored by the fact that as the slavery crisis intensified, Polk's successors, especially in the 1850s, were caught trying to manage an increasingly volatile nation.

question: Who is James K. Polk?

answer: James K. Polk was a president of the United States.

question: What concept has Polk's administration been linked to?

answer: Polk's administration has been linked to the concept of manifest destiny and the westward expansion of the US.

question: When did James K. Polk die?

answer: Polk died on June 15, 1849.

question: What party was Polk affiliated with?

answer: Polk was affiliated with the Democratic Party.

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: This article details the life and presidential term of James K Polk, who was president of the United States from 1845 to 1849.

President Barack Obama is meeting Friday with the head of the American Legion, in what amnesty opponents fear is a yet another effort to bypass public opposition to passage of a massive business-backed immigration increase.

House Speaker John Boehner also added to the alarms Thursday night, when the Wall Street Journal reported that he told business donors gathered last month in Las Vegas that he is “hellbent on getting this done.”

The American Legion is suddenly a player in the immigration fight because it has come out in opposition to a minor, but critical amendment to the draft 2015 defense bill. The amendment would broaden the existing rules allowing illegal immigrants to get slots in the U.S. military that are sought by American volunteers.

If the amendment is added to the bill, and then passed by the full House, it would allow the Senate and House to include a large immigration rewrite in the must-pass defense bill.

That immigration rewrite could consist of a small amnesty for younger illegals, or a copy of the Senate’s June 2013 bill, which would triple the inflow of legal immigrants and guest workers to 40 million over the next decade. That huge inflow is roughly equal to the number of Americans youths who will join the workforce by 2024 in search of decent jobs.

The amendment maneuver would allow top GOP leaders to push an immigration bill past their caucus.

Most of the GOP caucus is opposed to the Senate’s immigration bill, which would likely worsen job-competition against their constituents and also increase the political power of the Democrat-leaning Latino electorate.

The opposition is also visible in the Senate, where Sen. Jeff Sessions has argued the GOP will gain from a low-immigration, high-wage policy.

Many aspects of the Senate bill — especially the increased inflow of guest-workers — are unpopular among GOP supporters andswing voters, whom the party needs to vote in November. However, the bill is popular among progressives and wealthy voters.

The amendment is dubbed the ENLIST Act, and is being sponsored by GOP Rep. Jeff Denham, who represents a farm district in California. Agricultural employers are strong backers of immigration increases, because they prefer to hire cheap migrant workers instead of investing in new crop-picking machinery.

In turn, Denham’s amendment is reportedly backed by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, despite growing pressure on immigration from a primary opponent in his Virginia district.

So far, the amendment has been locked up in disputes among GOP legislators, and it was apparently blocked this week when the American Legion announced its opposition.

“Attaching an issue as contentious and complex as immigration and recruitment policy would only stall the” defense bill, John Stovall, director of the Legion’s national security division told The Washington Times. “The legion’s long-standing policy remains that we are opposed to any policy, any legislative action that amounts to amnesty, and I think that would fall under that definition.”

That’s a big problem for Obama and the advocates of more immigration, Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Caller. “If the American Legion is saying it is bad, they can either persuade them or bad-mouth the legion,” Krikorian said. “I don’t think they be able to browbeat them.”

The legion is resistant to political pressure because its policies are strongly shaped by its individual members, not just by top leaders. The group is also insulated from a lot of D.C. influence because it is based in Indianapolis, Ind. — not in D.C., he added.

During the previous business-backed push for increased immigration, in 2006 and 2007, the legion announced its opposition, and was lashed by groups that favor more more immigration, he said. “They tried to intimidate them and the legion told them basically to get lost [but] it may not work that way this time,” he said.

“I can’t imagine that the Legion would cave,” Roy Beck, the director of NumbersUSA, an immigration reform group that seeks lower immigration levels, told TheDC.

The White House’s daily calendar shows the president will meet the American Legion’s head, Daniel Dellinger, in the Oval Office at 11:35 a.m.

“The President will meet with the National Commander and Executive Director of the American Legion. This meeting is closed press,” the White House schedule reads.

On Thursday, Obama said he and Cantor are in agreement on the need for an major immigration rewrite.

The two talked by phone this Wednesday. Even though Cantor criticized Obama’s immigration-enforcement policies the next day, “it was a pretty friendly conversation,” Obama told reporters Thursday.

“I also know it’s hard politics for Republicans because there are some in their base that are very opposed to this … [but] there are [foreign] families all across the country who are experiencing great hardship and pain because this is not getting resolved,” Obama said.

“It’s a matter of political will. It’s not any longer a matter of policy. And I’m going to continue to encourage them to get this done,” he insisted.

Boehner’s renewed commitment to passage of a foreign-worker bill was revealed late Thursday by the Wall Street Journal.

“Speaker John Boehner and other senior House Republicans are telling donors and industry groups that they aim to pass immigration legislation this year, despite the reluctance of many Republicans to tackle the divisive issue before the November elections,” the journal reported.

“Many lawmakers and activists have assumed the issue was off the table in an election year. But Mr. Boehner said at a Las Vegas fundraiser last month he was ‘hellbent on getting this done.'”

The public is strongly opposed to increased immigration, partly because wages are at a 63-year record low share of annual income, profits are at a 85-year record high of annual income, and the middle-class is shrinking fast.

Last June, the CBO reported that the Senate bill would shift even more of the nation’s annual income away from wages earners and toward investors.

[Daniel Roberts, the president of Youth Shooters of America, on Sunday night’s episode of “Who Is America?”]

Credit...Showtime

-   Aug. 13, 2018
-

Daniel Roberts was getting ready for bed on Sunday night at his home in Fort Mill, S.C. He had to be up early for his day job, as a truck driver for a construction company based out of Charlotte, N.C.

Then he received a Facebook message from a friend, who was asking: Why was Mr. Roberts being featured on the fifth episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s prank Showtime series, “Who Is America?”

He had no idea. He also had to dig deep to remember who Mr. Cohen was to begin with.

Unbeknown to Mr. Roberts, he had taken part in one of the more embarrassing segments of the show thus far. In it, Mr. Cohen posed as Erran Morad, an Israeli antiterrorism expert who was pretending to offer on-camera training segments to help Americans fight Islamic terrorism.

Mr. Roberts is the founder and president of Youth Shooters of America, and his 13-year-old daughter has gained some renown as a competitive shooter, having started when she was just 6 years old. Mr. Roberts has appeared in cable news segments to defend gun rights, including a particularly heated discussion with Piers Morgan, where Mr. Roberts said he hoped nothing would change about gun laws after last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas in which 58 people were killed and several hundred injured.

In the “Who Is America?” segment, which was filmed in Atlanta, Mr. Roberts told Mr. Cohen, “There’s something wrong with the culture that we can’t talk about being around guns.” To which Mr. Cohen — in character — responded, “It is crucial to have the guns in the school?” Mr. Roberts said: “Yes, absolutely. I absolutely agree with you.”

This was followed by Mr. Roberts’s being coaxed into a shouting match (to ward off terrorists) and into throwing a baby doll into a trash can to thwart a suicide bomb hidden in a diaper. In the segment’s highlight, or lowlight, Mr. Cohen gets Mr. Roberts to bite on a, um, toy used for sexual gratification by telling him that it is a proven tactic for stopping a terrorist.

Mr. Cohen has been mostly targeting conservatives with his pranks. A Georgia state representative, Jason Spencer, left his seat five months early after Mr. Cohen humiliated him with an act not unlike the one Mr. Roberts fell for. Mr. Cohen’s other marks have included several influential sitting and former lawmakers, including the former Vice President Dick Cheney and Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California.

[_Is Sacha Baron Cohen__the James O’Keefe of the left?_]

But he’s also taken aim at lesser-known people, if they are known at all, including Mr. Roberts, who was one of the few who didn’t realize he was duped until the episode aired.

In a telephone interview on Monday, Mr. Roberts spoke about the experience. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

DID YOU WATCH THE SHOW LAST NIGHT? DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?

I don’t get Showtime. I had absolutely no idea. Sacha Baron Cohen — it’s like, “Who?” I guess he was kind of big in the early 2000s for some stuff? He never was on my radar as anyone I knew about or followed.

DID YOU KNOW AFTER THE TAPING THAT SOMETHING WAS OFF OR THAT YOU HAD BEEN PRANKED?

No, absolutely not. There’s going to be a limit to some things I can say because I am actively exploring what legal remedies may be available. (Showtime declined to comment.)

HOW ARE YOU COPING TODAY? HAVE YOU RECEIVED A LOT OF CALLS?

Not yet. What can I do? It’s up there. I can’t deny it.

WHEN WAS THE TAPING?

Last July. I was contacted by a production company. The way it was explained to me is that there was a group of Israeli special forces soldiers that were going around the United States shooting a show for Israeli television about terrorism and how Americans defend themselves.

I’ve always had a great amount of respect for the Israeli military. For me, it sounded like a perfectly legitimate opportunity to take advantage of a situation to be taught by people that I would regard as some of the best in the world with counterterrorism.

WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL REACTION TO FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PRANK?

I was absolutely baffled. To be honest about it, probably a couple months ago, I had the random thought, “Hey, I guess that show never aired,” still under the impression that this was going to be something for Israeli television. I never thought anything more about it.

WHEN THE SHOOT WAS HAPPENING, WERE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY OF IT?

There were definitely several moments of being extraordinarily uncomfortable. But at the same time, if you believe yourself to be in the presence of what anyone would rightly describe as experts in their field, and they are telling you that these are techniques or tactics that they themselves have used, and you’re just a rank amateur, would you question it?

I THINK SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY, “WELL, THERE WERE CAMERAS ROLLING.” DID YOU WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU WERE BEING PORTRAYED ON CAMERA?

I don’t know that it ever crossed my mind. The use of the — what’s the polite way to describe this? — the use of the sexual device as a prop, in my mind, it made sense. Think about what they’re claiming: a last resort. You have one chance to do something, or you’re certain you’re going to die. That’s the scenario they’ve laid out. I don’t know many people, if they were completely honest, that they would say they wouldn’t take that opportunity to maybe, hopefully, grab one thing to maybe save their lives.

So using that item as a prop, sure, you could argue it makes sense because it’s a pretty dangerous thing to do. You could hurt somebody doing it for real, which obviously is the point. It was definitely very uncomfortable. At the very same time, I go back to being completely convinced that these were legitimate I.D.F. special forces soldiers that had trained with these techniques or had actually used them.

HAD YOU EVER BEEN IN TRAINING LIKE THAT BEFORE?

Not to that degree, absolutely not. But I know enough about the subject to know that sometimes, things are supposed to make you uncomfortable so that you get over being uncomfortable.

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN SEEN THIS?

No. If it ever comes up, I will give them the same exact explanation that I just gave to you. This was a malicious, willful and deliberate act on the part of Sacha Baron Cohen, the production company and Showtime, who blatantly lied to me about the purpose of the entire thing, in a deliberate effort to humiliate me.

question: What is Daniel Roberts relationship with the show, Who is America?

answer: Daniel Roberts relationship with the show, Who is America is that he is being aired on this show to speak about his organization, Youth Shooters of America.

question: Who did Mr. Cohen humiliate and why?

answer: Mr. Cohen humiliated Jason Spencer because he was a conservative.

question: On what platform did Mr. Roberts speak about his experience?

answer: Mr. Roberts spoke about his experience via a telephone interview.

Hi, it's my first post here, hope you enjoy it!
___________________________________

Grandpa Adam watched in disdain as his grandchildren sat in silence. They spoke only electronically: to update their friends every 5 minutes on the progress of their e-homework in the hit video-game "School Simulator".

"It's way better than real school - and more addictive!" posted 10 year-old Sharpiqua-Massachusetts.

Grandpa Adam scowled. "In my day, we kept our private lives private" he said as his FaceGoogle posted this as his latest status; "and we kept our private parts private too." - he motioned to the boob-tube hotpants combo his 14 year-old grandson was sporting.

"Uh oh, Grandpa's at it again" muttered Andromeda-Shoreditch to himself and 31 school-friends simultaneously.

"Just don't mention Pokémon!" tweeted little Sharpiqua-Massachusetts helpfully.

On hearing this, Adam's face went bright red as his WebMD bracelet warned him that this might be a sign of Madagascan Lemur Flu.

"THERE'RE ONLY 151 POKEMON YOU WHIPPERSNAPPERS!” he bellowed. “I HAVE PROOF! JUST LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK BY THE SS ANNE!! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF NEW POKEMON IS ‘BRICK’ THE ‘BRICK POKEMON’ ANYWAY?!?"

Grandpa Adam's daughter and son-in-law sighed and resigned themselves to carting him out of the room on their Amazon Anti-Grav Elderly-Scooper, again.

After watching Grandpa Adam get whisked back to the drive-thru old folk’s home, Sharpiqua-Massachusetts turned to Andromeda-Shoreditch.

“Shpeesh, I dunno why he’s so judgemental about what kids are into.”

“I know, right?” responded Andromeda-Shoreditch. “That said though, have you seen the kind of TV meant for nursery children these days? They’re premiering Nickolodean’s ‘A Serbian Tale’ next week, and I think it’s just a bit much. Not like the milder ‘Teletubby Sluts Xtreme’ we had when we were little.”

title: Image of the Future

question: Why is Grandpa Adam angry about Brick Pokemon?

answer: It appears to be the regular phenomenon of inter-generational judgement, in which an older person (Grandpa Adam) is less capable of understanding the interests of a younger generation so different from how he grew up. He reacts to these confusing unknown elements by lashing out in anger.

question: Why does Grandpa Adam's bracelet warn of Madagascan Lemur Flu?

answer: The brand is WebMD, which is a website notorious for giving people exaggerated possible diagnoses when they search their minor symptoms, i.e. suggesting throat cancer for an itchy throat. That is the context for the bracelet sensing an emotionally-triggered rise in body temperature or blood pressure and warning Adam that he may have contracted an exotic disease, which is unlikely.

question: How can the reader tell this takes place in the future?

answer: The title, and within the story, the technology and social standards are advanced, ahead of current standards.

question: What mood is the author trying to evoke?

answer: The piece is a satire, so the mood is one of deadpan humor.

question: What happened to the Pokemon?

answer: It is implied that many more species of Pokemon in the game have been added since the game's previously established 151.

So there I was last night, driving on the 101 interstate. Two pints of cheap lager and a shot of whisky in. The cherry on my cigarette glowed as I puffed the last of the tobacco from the stick. I turned my face to the side to spit out my lit cigarette into the wind. I've never looked cooler speeding. My favorite song came on the radio, I blast it on my speakers and proceeded to sing along with the highest pitch my vocal chords allow me. 'Love you like a love song baby... repeat peat peat peat peat' I mumbled the lyrics, I need to learn this song. I'm a sucker for these pop songs, they just feel right.

I cautiously yet furiously made my way towards the fast lane only to be stopped by the last thing I wanted to see at such an awesome moment. The fuzz. Blue and red lights filled my rear view, my heart skipped a beat, I put the music down to think for a second. I realized I'm buzzed enough to not give a fuck, I put the music back up and sped up. It's a strategy I heard somewhere, or probably made up on the spot, whatever the case, it felt right at the time. It confuses the police, makes them think I'm a wild man, puts the ball in their court. I make the ballsiest move by picking the spot to pull over, they have to follow with something to intimidate me. I get it, I know, I've been around the block.

I didn't slow down this whole time, even when I decided to exit the freeway in downtown. No turning lights, no hand gestures, just balls. I pulled into a dark empty street, killed the engine, lit up another cigarette and waited.
Lights surrounded my car, a trembling silhouette approached.

'H-have you been drinking?' The cop's voice cracked as he reached my window.

'Drinking what?' I blew my smoke his way to let him know that respect wasn't there.

'I drink a lot of things. Water, tea...' I teased him, but before my list got any longer he snapped. 'Quit play games!'

I took a long drag from my cigarette and looked at him. I could see him shaking.

'Now step out of the vehicle, please..' He continued. He knew I was one of those he had been told not to fuck with. We both knew this could get ugly quick, but I complied for his sake.

'Did you have any alcoholic beverages tonight?' He persuades me. With a firm drunken stare and a loud whisky belch I answered, 'No.'

We stood there looking at each other for what could have been twenty minutes. People tend to get lost in my eyes, I waited for him to faze out of the trance. I finally decided it was getting too late for my convenience and asked if we were done. It took him a while to respond but he finally let me get back in the car and escorted me home. At least he tried to, I drove way too fast for his bitch ass.

Edit: What really happened.
I was speeding home one night and got pulled over. I had a couple of drinks prior to this so I was extremely scared. I'm sure the cop could tell I was trembling and he let me off with a warning and followed me home to make sure I got there safely. When my friends asked me the next day what had happened, I wrote them how I remembered it which is the small narrative above. Just to clear things up, yes it's meant to be unrealistic and douchey.

title: How I got pulled over last night, as I remember it.

question: What's the name of the pop song the narrator is singing in his car?

answer: Doesn't say, but it's Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez.

question: Why does the story sound so douchey?

answer: Because the narrator purposefully wrote it to sound like a douchebag.

question: How does the narrator show the police officer he doesn't respect him?

answer: By blowing cigarette smoke in his face and being evasive when answering his questions.

question: Who is the author's intended audience?

answer: His friends who asked him about his experience getting pulled over.

question: Write a ~7 sentence summary.

answer: The author was drunk driving, speeding down the 101 interstate highway at night. He was blasting pop music and smoking a cigarette when a police officer pulls him over. He ignores the lights and gets off the freeway at his own pace. When questioned by the officer, he answers sarcastically and denies having drunk alcohol. He blows smoke in the officer's face. The officer decides to let him off with a warning and escorts him home. The narrator then admits that the story was all an embellishment and exaggeration.

SABBAH HAJI is the Director of Haji Public School,[1][2] a not-for-profit school established in 2009 by her family in their ancestral village in the Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, India.[3][4] Sabbah was born in Dubai in 1982 where her father, Saleem Haji, was a manager in a shipping company. Sabbah's family is from Breswana village of Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. Her family shifted to Dubai in early 80's and then to Bangalore in 1997. She finally returned to her native village, Breswana, to run the Haji Public School with her family, which school is now the main focus of her life.[5]

Family

Sabbah Haji was born and raised in Dubai. Her family is from Breswana village of Doda in Jammu and Kashmir. Her father, Mr Saleem Haji, spent a good part of his childhood and youth farming in the village. He graduated from Jammu University, then worked for over two decades in Dubai, UAE in management roles in shipping companies. On his return to the village in Jammu and Kashmir in the early 2000s, he immediately fell back into the pattern of the earlier and has since become a bedrock of the village in general and the school in particular. He is now the Chief Advisor for Haji Public School, and elected Sarpanch (Village Headman) of Breswana.[6][7]

Sabbah Haji's mother, Tasneem Haji, has been the Principal of Haji Public School since its inception in 2009. She has over 30 years' experience in teaching and school administration, having taught at various schools from her college days till the present. Tasneem Haji completed her Bachelor of Arts from Kashmir University, and subsequently received her Bachelor of Education while teaching in Dubai, UAE.[8]

Sabbah's uncle, Nasir Haji, is the driving force and primary funder of the entire project from its inception to date. He is a philanthropist-businessman based in Singapore. He grew up in Jammu and Kashmir before moving to Dubai and working himself up to run and partner in several successful businesses in Dubai, Jakarta and subsequently Singapore. It was Nasir Haji's vision of bringing about long-lasting change through education in his ancestral village that gave birth to the idea for Haji Public School in 2008. Nasir Haji has also founded the Haji Amina Charity Trust in Doda in 2005. The Trust provides financial, medical and educational aid to a large number of people in the Doda region.[9][10][11]

Education and career

Sabbah Haji finished 10th Grade from The Indian High School, Dubai. She then shifted to Bengaluru in 1997, from where Haji completed her 12th Grade from Bishop Cotton Girls' School Bengaluru. She completed her Bachelors in Commerce from Christ College, Bengaluru in 2002.[12]

Sabbah was Staff Accountant (Audit Trainee) in KPMG, Bangalore (2003-2004); Team Lead (English Support Services) in Deluxe Digital Studios (2005-2007); Content Writer/Copy Editor in Digital Media Convergence Ltd (2007-2008); Managing Editor/Content Writer in Planetsurf Creation Pvt Ltd (2008).[13]

In 2008, the Amarnath struggle of Jammu and Kashmir broke out. Sabbah Haji's mother, Tasneem Haji witnessed her hometown, Kishtwar, being severely affected during the struggle. It was then that Sabbah Haji, who was in Bengaluru, quit her city life to return to her family in Jammu and Kashmir.[14]

Haji Public School

After Sabbah Haji returned to her native village Breswana in 2008, she saw that nearly two generations of villagers had no education, due to the apathetic attitude of successive governments and militancy. She then thought of opening a school to give education to children there. After taking suggestions from her family, she started Haji Public School (HPS) in 2009 in Breswana.[15]

Since it started on 4 May 2009, the Haji Public School has just one objective – to impart knowledge to those children who cannot avail of the academic facilities being provided to others, in more accessible cities. The cause was so strong that the village inhabitants helped build the school brick by brick. The villagers have brought up materials for the school on their backs. They wrote a petition which allowed the Haji family to start a school. Over the winter of 2008, Sabbah Haji and her mother, Tasneem Haji, trained two boys from the village in order to turn them into teachers. With no building to call their own initially, they worked out of two rooms in their ancestral house itself. They started at the ground level, teaching only the lower and upper kindergarten students. With Sabbah's strong and disciplined work ethic from Bengaluru and Tasneem's crucial 30 years’ worth teaching and school administration experience, they began the Haji Public School with about 25 kids. Today, the school has its own building and it is growing every year. The school now has over 350 students.[16]

Haji Public School was initially set up under the Haji Amina Charity Trust in Doda founded by Mr Nasir Haji. It now functions under the Haji Education Foundation, a separate organization set up in 2011 specifically to promote education in the region. The Haji Education Foundation trustees are Mohd Saleem Haji, Tasneem Haji and Sabbah Haji. The Foundation takes its direction from Mr Nasir Haji.[17][18]

Sabbah Haji updates daily happenings about the school and her village on “_That School In The Village_” and “_Vice Village_”. Sabbah Haji represents the school outside, on social media and at various conferences. She talks about the school online on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the school Tumblr with constant updates and stories.[19] At CONVERGE 2016, YKA's flagship event, Haji shared her powerful story through a series of photos of breaking barriers and starting change to an audience of over 1500 people.[20]

Sabbah raises funds through social media sites and invites volunteers to teach at her school that has seen no drop-outs in the past five years. The volunteers, who live among the villagers, teach for a period of three months. They spend time with students and make their efforts to erase negative impressions of outsiders through their selfless efforts, hard work, and dedication. The volunteers are not paid, but they are provided with food and lodging. The first long term volunteers were two young men, Felix and Azon, who stayed over three months each. Azon subsequently joined Haji Public School as a permanent member and was Deputy Director of School Operations for three years. Till December 2016, Haji Public School has had over 62 teaching volunteers from Canada, Singapore, the US, South Africa, France and India. Several of them have returned for multiple long-term stints with Haji Public School since they find themselves invested in and attached to the students and the work to be genuinely satisfying.[21][22][23]

Sabbah Haji at TED Events

Sabbah Haji has represented her school at various TED events. In 2014 she attended TEDx event at BITS Pilani Goa[24] and in 2015 at Symbiosis International University, Lavale, Pune.[25] She has also co-organized a TEDx event in Srinagar with Raheel Khurshid in 2012.[26]

media captionBoris Johnson: "I don't think anyone could contest a word I said"

BORIS JOHNSON HAS DESCRIBED MEN WHO JOIN RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST GROUPS SUCH AS ISLAMIC STATE AS "LOSERS" WHO ARE LIKELY TO BE USERS OF PORNOGRAPHY.

The Mayor of London told The Sun those turning to violence had low self-esteem and were unsuccessful with women.

The Tory politician cited an MI5 report into extremism that had compiled psychological profiles of jihadists.

Chancellor George Osborne said the mayor was "right not to be nice about these people".

According to the newspaper, Mr Johnson said: "If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn.

"They are tortured. They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them.

"They are not making it with girls and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort - which of course is no comfort.

"They are just young men in desperate need of self-esteem who do not have a particular mission in life, who feel that they are losers and this thing makes them feel strong - like winners."

Mr Johnson said he believed Muslim communities should lead efforts to tackle extremism, but claimed clerics had not been "persuasive in the right way with these people".

Asked about his remarks later, Mr Johnson said he did not believe "anyone could seriously contest a word I said".

He told BBC London: "This is part of a wider problem, that is symptomatic of a feeling among young men."

They were "led off into jihadist ideology" because "they aren't winners and the world is against them and there is nothing there for them", he said.

"The answer is to get them into work."

'Colourful'

Mr Osborne, speaking on a visit to Portsmouth, said the mayor was known for his "colourful language" but agreed with the sentiment of the remarks.

Conservative chairman Grant Shapps said: "We are living in a world where there are brand-new threats in the 21st century...with these enormous terrorist attacks and what is going on with IS in Syria and Brits going there.

"I think any Brit who leaves and fights against this country's interests like that, I can attach all sorts of words to them. I'm clear that what this country needs to do is absolutely be rigorous about ensuring that people can't just swan back into the country having fought against our national interests.

"I think the mood has decisively shifted in favour of people saying 'This country will give all of us our education for free, it will give all of us our health for free, but don't expect to go off and fight against this country's interests and expect to swan back in'. I think Boris's comments will have been driven by that."

Just 10 countries — the United States, Australia and eight European nations — earned medals in the first modern Games, in Athens in 1896. More than 100 years later, in Rio, there were 87medal-winning nations, from Algeria to Vietnam.

Tracing the rise and fall of each country’s medal count over time — represented in the undulating ribbons in the chart above — is to observe more than just the story of the Olympic Games. It is also a snapshot of modern history: The world pauses for war; countries rise, fall and acquire new names; the United States and the Soviet Union grow in strength during the Cold War; China emerges as a global player.

But the totals mask interesting patterns in individual events, where the medal counts mostly reflect more concentrated efforts from fewer nations. For most countries, specialization is the rule, not the exception. The British excel at track cycling. Kenya and Ethiopia dominate distance running. China owns badminton and table tennis (and its list is growing). Viewing the medal count by sport reveals these patterns, offering deeper insight into how the Games have changed as they have grown.

Below, the medal counts by discipline since 1896.

Running

Archie Hahn, known as The Milwaukee Meteor, kicked off America’s early SPRINTING dominance by winning a haul of golds in 1904 and ’06, later writing a book called “How to Sprint” __ (really). Since then, UNITED STATES sprinters have won 26 out of 47 gold medals in the 100 meter. JAMAICA dominated sprinting in Rio, and became the first country to win as many gold medals as the United States in a single Olympics. It is an impressive tally for a country with about as many people as Brooklyn. But outside sprinting, Jamaica did not win medals in any other event.

Kenya owns MIDDLE-DISTANCE RUNNING. Straight golds (and usually silver, too) in the 3,000-meter men’s steeplechase since 1984.

Abebe Bikila’s barefoot marathon win at the 1960 games in Rome was Ethiopia’s first medal and the country hasn’t looked back, winning more than 25 medals in LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING since then. Between 1912 and 1936, though, FINLAND — known as the “Flyin’ Finns” — owned distance running. Bikila’s coach was Finnish.

In Rio, however, Ethiopia’s long distance gold medal run took a hit. KENYA won gold in both marathons and the women’s 5-kilometer event, and BRITAIN’s Mohamed Farah repeated his 2012 London performance with gold medals in the men’s 5K and 10K.

Jumping

Russia and the United States sit atop the jumping leaderboard. The legendary American CARL LEWIS won four straight golds in long jump (’84, ’88, ’92 and ’96). The American triple jumper CHRISTIAN TAYLOR won gold in Rio, one of seven jumping medals won by the United States this year. With all but one of its track and field athletes banned from Rio, Russia’s decades-long jumping medal run ended in 2016.

Throwing

The throwing events used to be close competitions between the SOVIET UNION and the UNITED STATES. But in the last 20 years, most medals were won by GERMAN athletes like Christoph Harting, who won the gold in discus in Rio – following in the footsteps of his brother, and three-time world champion, Robert Harting.

Swimming

Over the history of the Olympics, AMERICAN athletes have dominated swimming. The height of EAST GERMANY’s swimming success was winning 42 medals at the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow, which 65 countries boycotted, including the United States. East Germany’s accomplishment was further diminished after revelations that its athletes were caught up in a state-funded doping program. More recently, AUSTRALIA has been catching up.

The total number of swimming events has also grown with time -- mostly. Derided as being neither graceful nor interesting to watch and for “placing the premium as it does upon blubber rather than upon speed, strength, endurance,” the PLUNGE FOR DISTANCE event, where athletes plunged as deep as they could, did not make the cut for long: It appeared only once, at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis.

Diving

After decades of AMERICAN dominance, CHINESE divers have overwhelmingly claimed the top spots on the podium in diving events in recent Olympics. With the addition of synchronized diving in 2000, China’s medal count in diving has been growing even faster.

Gymnastics

The SOVIET UNION was a WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS powerhouse with all golds in the team competition from 1952 to 1980. The sport made its Olympic debut in 1928 as team-only event. Four individual events were added in 1952. The UNITED STATES has won medals in the last six olympics, taking the team gold three times, with the Magnificent Seven in 1996, the Fierce Five in 2012 and the Final Five in 2016.

Romania has also been consistently in the mix, earning medals in the team competition in every olympics since 1976. But that run has already ended this year. The team failed to qualify and only sent one gymnast to Rio.

Men’s gymnastics has traditionally been dominated by RUSSIA (and the SOVIET UNION). JAPAN’s team has fallen from its former glory of the 1960s and ’70s. Since 1990, CHINA has won the most gold medals, but the team disappointed in Rio.

Wrestling

As they did in long distance running, Finnish athletes dominated WRESTLING before World War II (with some good competition from Sweden). Since the 1950s, however, the SOVIET UNION/RUSSIA has led the medal count. Women’s wrestling was added in 2004 and is dominated by Japan (11 out of 44 medals). IRAN had a successful 2012 games, bringing home six medals in wrestling.

Boxing

While the UNITED STATES is still leads in the total medal count for boxing, CUBA has won the most medals since 1960, including 34 golds. But Cuba’s run might end in 2020 because of a recent decision to open up Olympic boxing to pro athletes.

Rowing

Rowing has been dominated by GERMAN athletes for decades, followed closely by the UNITED STATES. BRITAIN is catching up quickly, though, and has won more medals in the sport than any other country in the last 20 years.

Cycling

Cycling events are largely dominated by European athletes, with FRANCE, GERMANY, BRITAIN and ITALY taking the top four spots. The British cyclist Chris Froome, who has won the Tour de France three times since 2013, was a candidate for gold in Rio but ended up with bronze.

Fencing

Speaking of European dominance: ITALY, FRANCE and HUNGARY have dominated fencing for as long as it has been an Olympic sport. RUSSIA’s fencing team had a strong showing in Rio.

Weight Lifting

Weight Lifting was another area for intense competition between the UNITED STATES and the SOVIET UNION during the Cold War. Recently, CHINA has been cleaning up, winning 25 out of 70 gold medals since 1996.

Shooting

Another sport in which CHINESE athletes currently excel is shooting. The number of shooting events was reduced to ten after the United States team won 13 out of 21 gold medals in 1920.

Canoeing and Kayaking

Canoeing and kayaking first appeared at the Olympics in the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin. Many nations are competitive, but GERMANY is almost always on the podium.

Equestrian

With the most Olympic gold medals in the sport, GERMANY is one of the most successful equestrian nations in the world.

Sailing

Living up to its reputation as a nation of proficient sailors, BRITAIN has won 26 gold medals in the long history of Olympic sailing.

Racewalking

Racewalking, of all things, was at the epicenter the Olympic doping problems. With most RUSSIAN track and field athletes banned in Rio, CHINA was able to expand its dominance.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer: Only ten countries won medals during the inaugural Olympic games held in Athens in 1896, namely Australia, the United States, and eight European nations. One hundred years later in Rio, a total of 87 countries - from Algeria to Vietnam - earned medals. The author traces the rise and fall of each country's medal count over time, which is affected by external factors such as war, and views it as a snapshot of modern history. He sees an interesting pattern when it comes to individual events in the Olympics because countries focus on specialization. Select countries dominate the medal tally of the events they concentrate on. For instance, American athletes have been dominating swimming, while Kenya and Ethiopia rule over distance running.

[Marienkirche Frankfurt (Oder)] [The choir of the Marienkirche] [Marienkirche. Detail from a view of the city on pages 756 and 757 of the fifth edition of the _Cosmographia_ by Sebastian Münster, 1550] [S. Maria Kirch zu Franck - Furt an der Oder. Pen and ink drawing by Johann Stridbeck the Younger, 1690] [St.-Marien-Kirche in Frankfurt (Oder), c. 1860, from “L'Allemagne illustrée” by Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun] [The Marienkirche in a 1900 postcard] The MARIENKIRCHE is a church in Frankfurt (Oder) in Germany. It was formerly the city's main parish church and was built over more than 250 years during the Middle Ages.

History

To 1522

It was first built in 1253, just after the foundation of the city, and was one of the earliest examples of a gallery in the architecture of the Margraviate of Brandenburg. An ambulatory hall was built to replace the original choir and a polygonal entrance hall with a sandstone entrance arch built onto the north transept, both between 1360 and 1370. The nave was expanded as a five-bayed construction in the 15th century with painted ceilings in the side bays and a 14-storey new tower façade built around 1450. An eight-pointed cupola was added to the north tower and a crenellated edge to the south tower. On the establishment of the Viadrina University a new galleried sacristy was built between 1521 and 1522 - this was the last major expansion of the building, which is now 77 metres long and 25 metres wide, making it one of the largest Brick Gothic buildings in Germany.

Stained glass

The three large surviving Gothic stained glass windows date to between 1360 and 1370 - they are made up of a total of 117 pictures, each 83 x 43 cm in size, financed by city's citizens of the city and showing the creation, the lives of Adam and Eve, Noah building his ark, Christ's life and the Book of Revelation. They were removed to another location in Frankfurt in September 1941 to protect them from bombing - there they were photographed in black and white before being moved to the New Palace in Potsdam in April 1945.

In June 1946 they were seized from Potsdam by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany and taken to the Red Army Spoils of War Camp 1 at Zentralvieh- und Schlachthof in Berlin. They were then moved to the Hermitage Museum's stores in August 1946 and were thus considered as “lost since the end of the war”. The windows' new location was first revealed in April 1991 by the Literaturnaya Gazeta. In 1994 Frankfurt's parish council petitioned the Russian prime minister Viktor Chernomyrdin for their return, leading to a law passed in the State Duma with the approval of the Federation Council in April 2002 to return the windows. They were gradually restored in a room above the church's sacristy from summer 2002 onwards, using the black and white wartime photographs.

The first of the three windows was ceremonially reinstalled on 28 May 2005. In June 2005 a message appeared in the Russian newspaper Kommersant that six missing panels from the windows were in the Pushkin Museum and after several further years of negotiations the Duma and Federation Council also decided to return these panels, handing them to the German embassy in Moscow. The German culture minister Bernd Neumann then handed them over to the parish and the city on 17 November 2008 and the last pieces of the windows were reinstalled in the church in February 2009.

1826-present

On 15 May 1826 the south tower of the church collapsed - Karl Friedrich Schinkel's rebuild completely walled off a Gothic display wall from the 13th century, which was only rediscovered during repairs in the 1990s. Schinkel entrusted his scheme to his pupil Emil Flaminius, although it did not include rebuilding the lost south tower. The church was ruined during the destruction of downtown Frankfurt in April 1945 and partially collapsed. Its sacristy and Martyrchor (Martyrs' choir) were rebuilt and the nave altar brought back into use by the parish using its own funds in 1958, but the limited heating meant services could only occur in the summer. The city council and the church signed a 99-year lease on 27 September 1974 so that it could continue using the church, with the city taking over restoration and rebuilding of the ruins for general civic purposes. This began in 1979, restoring the sacristy, and continued in 1990. The main rooves over the chancel and nave were rebuilt in 1998. Reconstruction concluded with the restoration of the original coloured façade of the north tower after colour pigments were discovered on it. Since 1980 its church furniture have been in the Sankt-Gertraud-Kirche - these include the 1489 Marienaltar, its late 14th century bronze font and bronze candlesticks and many tomb monuments and inscriptions.

The church was equipped with a 38,000 euro fire protection system in 2002. In May 2006, the road in front of the west door was repaved - historic granite stones from the civil engineering department's store and some donors' stones (each costing 75 Euros, of which 50 Euros went to the restoration fund and 25 Euros to producing the stone) were used for this purpose.
