text: Google found that affluent neighborhoods in Kansas City signed up for the faster service while those in poorer neighborhoods did not sign up for even the free option. In response to this digital divide, Google sent a team of 60 employees to the under-served areas to promote the Google Fiber service. Additionally, Google offered micro-grants to community organizations that want to start up digital literacy programs in Kansas City.


title: Google Fiber

text: The following are chronological announcements of service in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Neighborhoods are said to be selected based on demand:


title: Google Fiber

text: Google placed deployment in Overland Park, Kansas, on indefinite hold in October 2013, following delays by the City Council over concerns about whether an indemnification clause that Google required might force the city to repair any damage caused by the project. As of July 2014, Overland Park's City Council had voted on a deal that would allow for Google Fiber. Soon after, the city appeared on Google Fiber's website.


title: Google Fiber

text: As of August 2017, Google Fiber announced that the Sylvan Park neighborhood in West Nashville had Google Fiber service officially operating, making Nashville a city currently with Google Fiber service.


title: Google Fiber

text: On February 22, 2016, Google announced that Google Fiber would expand into Huntsville, Alabama. Google Fiber announced it would start offering high-speed Internet, TV and telephone service in north Huntsville on May 23, 2017.


title: Google Fiber

text: On April 2, 2018, Huntsville Utilities continues to build fiber in Southeast Huntsville which have been turned over to Google fiber to service.


title: Google Fiber

text: Google Fiber announced it would start offering high-speed Internet, TV and telephone service in northeast West Des Moines on March 22, 2021.


title: Google Fiber

text: On April 14, 2016, Google sent a blast email to early adopters of Google Fiber announcing that they were indeed behind the visible construction across the city. A few details were given about the vast extent of the construction that was being undertaken, Google is in the process of deploying about 4,000 linear miles (6,500 km) of fiber-optic cable throughout San Antonio. In advance of the imminent deployment of the new fiber network the direct competitors of Google Fiber, AT&T U-Verse, Time Warner Cable, and Grande Communications, have dropped prices and increased the speeds of their networks. San Antonio, the seventh-largest city in the nation, is the largest project that Google Fiber has taken on to date.


title: Google Fiber

text: On August 5, 2015, expansion into San Antonio was announced. As of December 2016, construction is underway. However, in January 2017, construction was halted pending concerns about the placement of Google Fiber huts in city parks. Mayor Ivy Taylor expressed commitment to working with Google to address community concerns and allow the project to continue.


title: Google Fiber

text: As of May 9, 2019, Google Fiber micro-trenched 600 miles of fiber in San Antonio neighborhoods. City staff says the majority is on the far Northwest and Northeast sides, including the pilot area in the Westover Hills neighborhood. After closing service in Louisville, KY the company said it learned from its challenges and refined its micro-trenching program to go deeper. According to the company, its Louisville microtrenching was as shallow as two inches. City staff said San Antonio's trenching depth was 6-8 inches.


title: Google Fiber

text: In April 2017, Google announced that Google Fiber would start construction in Louisville, Kentucky. Google Fiber got the service to sections of Louisville in five months after it first announced that it would be coming to the city—faster than it had ever deployed before—by using shallow trenching. In February 2019 Google announced it would shut down service on April 15. Prior to departing, Google Fiber service was criticized for disruptive infrastructure installations and poor workmanship. Google agreed to pay $3.8 million for clean up.


title: Google Fiber

text: In February 2014, Google announced it had "invited cities in nine metro areas around the U.S.—34 cities altogether—to work with us to explore what it would take to bring them Google Fiber."


title: Google Fiber

text: The remaining metropolitan areas where Fiber has not yet begun constructing are: Phoenix, Portland, San Antonio and San Jose. Of these, the following have yet to be selected by Google for fiber deployments:


title: Google Fiber

text: On April 15, 2014, Google began polling business users on their need for gigabit service, that they would be "conducting a pilot program where we'll connect a limited number of small businesses to our network."


title: Google Fiber

text: On September 10, 2015, Google tweeted that it was exploring the possibility of adding Irvine and San Diego, California, as future expansion cities.


title: Google Fiber

text: On October 28, 2015, Jill Szuchmacher, Google Fiber Director of Expansion, announced ongoing negotiations with local governments in Jacksonville, Florida, Tampa, Florida, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Szuchmacher stated that Google is interested in the installation of Google Fiber networks in each of the cities and that construction could take up to eighteen months once the project is underway. In October 2016, those plans were put on hold.


title: Google Fiber

text: On December 8, 2015, the Seattle City Council's Director of Communications replied to a tweet indicating that the city was in the process of applying for Google Fiber service. On December 8, 2015, Jill Szuchmacher said the company will work with Chicago city leaders to collect information and study factors that could affect construction of Google Fiber.


title: Google Fiber

text: On June 14, 2016, Jill Szuchmacher said the company will work with Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings to try to bring another hub to Texas.


title: Google Fiber

text: In October 2016, all expansion plans were put on hold and some jobs were cut. Google Fiber will continue to provide service in the cities where it is already installed.


title: Google Fiber

text: In 2017 Google Fiber launched in three new cities: Huntsville, Alabama; Louisville, Kentucky; and San Antonio, Texas. It also began to heavily rely on shallow trenching, a new method of laying cables that cuts a small groove in the street or sidewalk, lays the fiber in that groove, and backfills it with a special epoxy, to expedite the construction process. In at least one case, cables were buried too shallow and were ripped up by repaving.


title: Google Fiber

text: On June 22, 2016, Google Fiber bought Webpass, an Internet service provider that has been in business for 13 years and specializes in high-speed Internet for business and residential customers. They have a large presence in California and specifically the Bay Area as well as San Diego, Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Chicago, Denver, and Boston. The deal closed in October 2016.


title: Google Fiber

text: Google Fiber provides an Internet connection speed of up to one gigabit per second (1,000 Mbit/s) for both download and upload, which is roughly 100 times faster access than what most Americans have. Google Fiber says its service allows for the download of a full movie in less than two minutes.


title: Google Fiber

text: In order to use gigabit speeds, devices would require support for Gigabit Ethernet and category 5e or greater cabling, or an 802.11ac compatible WiFi router and wireless adapter.


title: Google Fiber

text: When first launched, Google Fiber's terms of service stated that its subscribers were not allowed to create any type of server:


title: Google Fiber

text: "Your Google Fiber account is for your use and the reasonable use of your guests. Unless you have a written agreement with Google Fiber permitting you do so, you should not host any type of server using your Google Fiber connection, use your Google Fiber account to provide a large number of people with Internet access, or use your Google Fiber account to provide commercial services to third parties (including, but not limited to, selling Internet access to third parties)."


title: Google Fiber

text: The Electronic Frontier Foundation criticized the practice, noting the ambiguity of the word "server" which might include such common application protocols as BitTorrent, and Spotify, as well as the effect of and on IPv6 adoption due its lack of NAT technical limitations on network servers, but also noted similar prohibitions from other ISPs such as Comcast, Verizon, Cox, and AT&T.


title: Google Fiber

text: In October 2013, the acceptable use policy for Google Fiber was modified to allow "personal, non-commercial use of servers".


title: Google Fiber

text: On April Fools' Day 2007, Google hosted a signup for Google TiSP offering "a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines."


title: Google Fiber

text: On April Fools' Day 2012, Google Fiber announced that their product was an edible Google Fiber bar instead of fiber-optic Internet broadband. It is stated that the Google Fiber bar delivers "what the body needs to sustain activity, energy, and productivity."


title: Google Fiber

text: On April Fools' Day 2013, Google Fiber announced the introduction of Google Fiber to the Pole. The description provided was "Google Fiber to the Pole provides ubiquitous gigabit connectivity to fiberhoods across Kansas City. This latest innovation in Google Fiber technology enables users to access Google Fiber's ultrafast gigabit speeds even when they are out and about." Clicking on the "Learn more" and "Find a pole near you" buttons displayed a message reading "April Fool's! While Fiber Poles don't exist, we are working on a bunch of cool stuff that does. Keep posted on all things Fiber by checking out our blog."


title: Google Fiber

text: The April Fools' Day 2014 prank was an announcement of "Coffee To The Home", using a spout on the fiber jack where the service enters the customer's home to deliver customized coffee drinks.


title: Google Fiber

text: On April Fools' Day 2015, Google Fiber announced Dial-Up Mode for people who prefer slower Internet. It reaches speeds up to 56k and helps people get back to real life more often.


title: Google Fiber

text: For the 2016 April Fools' Day joke, Google Fiber announced it was "exploring 1 billion times faster speeds".


title: Google Fiber

text: "Time" magazine has claimed that rather than wanting to actually operate as an Internet service provider, the company was just hoping to shame the major cable operators into improving their service so that Google searches could be done faster. Google has neither confirmed nor denied this claim.


title: Google Fiber

text: AT&T and other Internet service providers have launched their own gigabit services since Google Fiber was revealed. Some cable subscribers have also had their speeds increased without additional costs.


title: Google Fiber

text: According to a Goldman Sachs report, Google could connect approximately 830,000 homes a year at the cost of $1.25 billion a year, or a total of 7.5 million homes in nine years at a cost of slightly over $10 billion.


title: Google Fiber

text: In January 2014 a bill was introduced in the Kansas Legislature (Senate Bill 304, referred to as the "Municipal Communications Network and Private Telecommunications Investment Safeguards Act") which would prevent Google Fiber from expanding further in Kansas using the model used in Kansas City. The bill proposes: "Except with regard to unserved areas, a municipality may not, directly or indirectly:


title: Google Fiber

text: By February 2014, Senate Bill 304 (SB304) had lost momentum in the Kansas state senate, and the bill's sponsor, Kansas Cable Telecommunications Association (KCTA), indicated that it is highly unlikely that it will continue to pursue the legislation in the current legislative session.


title: Barcode reader

text: A barcode reader is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes, decode the data contained in the barcode to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor for translating optical impulses into electrical signals. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain "decoder" circuitry that can analyse the barcode's image data provided by the sensor and send the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.


title: Barcode reader

text: Pen-type readers consist of a light source and photodiode that are placed next to each other in the tip of a pen. To read a barcode, the person holding the pen must move the tip of it across the bars at a relatively uniform speed. The photodiode measures the intensity of the light reflected back from the light source as the tip crosses each bar and space in the printed code. The photodiode generates a waveform that is used to measure the widths of the bars and spaces in the barcode. Dark bars in the barcode absorb light and white spaces reflect light so that the voltage waveform generated by the photodiode is a representation of the bar and space pattern in the barcode. This waveform is decoded by the scanner in a manner similar to the way Morse code dots and dashes are decoded.


title: Barcode reader

text: Laser scanners direct the laser beam back and forth across the barcode. As with the pen-type reader, a photo-diode is used to measure the intensity of the light reflected back from the barcode. In both pen readers and laser scanners, the light emitted by the reader is rapidly varied in brightness with a data pattern and the photo-diode receive circuitry is designed to detect only signals with the same modulated pattern.


title: Barcode reader

text: Charge-coupled device (CCD) readers use an array of hundreds of tiny light sensors lined up in a row in the head of the reader. Each sensor measures the intensity of the light immediately in front of it. Each individual light sensor in the CCD reader is extremely small and because there are hundreds of sensors lined up in a row, a voltage pattern identical to the pattern in a barcode is generated in the reader by sequentially measuring the voltages across each sensor in the row. The important difference between a CCD reader and a pen or laser scanner is that the CCD reader is measuring emitted ambient light from the barcode whereas pen or laser scanners are measuring reflected light of a specific frequency originating from the scanner itself. LED scanners can also be made using CMOS sensors, and are replacing earlier Laser-based readers.


title: Barcode reader

text: Two-dimensional imaging scanners are a newer type of barcode reader. They use a camera and image processing techniques to decode the barcode.


title: Barcode reader

text: Video camera readers use small video cameras with the same CCD technology as in a CCD barcode reader except that instead of having a single row of sensors, a video camera has hundreds of rows of sensors arranged in a two dimensional array so that they can generate an image.


title: Barcode reader

text: Large field-of-view readers use high resolution industrial cameras to capture multiple bar codes simultaneously. All the bar codes appearing in the photo are decoded instantly (ImageID patents and code creation tools) or by use of plugins (e.g. the Barcodepedia used a flash application and some web cam for querying a database), have been realized options for resolving the given tasks.


title: Barcode reader

text: Omnidirectional scanning uses "series of straight or curved scanning lines of varying directions in the form of a starburst, a Lissajous curve, or other multiangle arrangement are projected at the symbol and one or more of them will be able to cross all of the symbol's bars and spaces, no matter what the orientation. Almost all of them use a laser. Unlike the simpler single-line laser scanners, they produce a pattern of beams in varying orientations allowing them to read barcodes presented to it at different angles. Most of them use a single rotating polygonal mirror and an arrangement of several fixed mirrors to generate their complex scan patterns.


title: Barcode reader

text: Omnidirectional scanners are most familiar through the horizontal scanners in supermarkets, where packages are slid over a glass or sapphire window. There are a range of different omnidirectional units available which can be used for differing scanning applications, ranging from retail type applications with the barcodes read only a few centimetres away from the scanner to industrial conveyor scanning where the unit can be a couple of metres away or more from the code. Omnidirectional scanners are also better at reading poorly printed, wrinkled, or even torn barcodes.


title: Barcode reader

text: While cell phone cameras without auto-focus are not ideal for reading some common barcode formats, there are 2D barcodes which are optimized for cell phones, as well as QR Codes (Quick Response) codes and Data Matrix codes which can be read quickly and accurately with or without auto-focus.


title: Barcode reader

text: Currently any camera equipped device or device which has document scanner can be used as Barcode reader with special software libraries, Barcode libraries. This allows them to add barcode features to desktop, web, mobile or embedded applications. In this way, combination of barcode technology and barcode library allows to implement with low cost any automatic document processing OMR, package tracking application or even augmented reality application.


title: Barcode reader

text: Early barcode scanners, of all formats, almost universally used the then-common RS-232 serial interface. This was an electrically simple means of connection and the software to access it is also relatively simple, although needing to be written for specific computers and their serial ports.


title: Barcode reader

text: There are a few other less common interfaces. These were used in large EPOS systems with dedicated hardware, rather than attaching to existing commodity computers. In some of these interfaces, the scanning device returned a "raw" signal proportional to the intensities seen while scanning the barcode. This was then decoded by the host device. In some cases the scanning device would convert the symbology of the barcode to one that could be recognized by the host device, such as Code 39.


title: Barcode reader

text: As the PC with its various standard interfaces evolved, it became ever easier to connect physical hardware to it. Also, there were commercial incentives to reduce the complexity of the associated software. The early "keyboard wedge" hardware plugged in between the PS/2 port and the keyboard, with characters from the barcode scanner appearing exactly as if they had been typed at the keyboard. Today the term is used more broadly for any device which can be plugged in and contribute to the stream of data coming "from the keyboard". Keyboard wedges plugging in via the USB interface are readily available.


title: Barcode reader

text: The "keyboard wedge" approach makes adding things such as barcode readers to systems simple. The software may well need no changes.


title: Barcode reader

text: The concurrent presence of two "keyboards" does require some care on the part of the user. Also, barcodes often offer only a subset of the characters offered by a normal keyboard.


title: Barcode reader

text: Subsequent to the PS/2 era, barcode readers began to use USB ports rather than the keyboard port, this being more convenient. To retain the easy integration with existing programs, it was sometimes necessary to load a device driver called a "software wedge", which facilitated the keyboard-impersonating behavior of the old "keyboard wedge" hardware.


title: Barcode reader

text: Today, USB barcode readers are "plug and play", at least in Windows systems. Any necessary drivers are loaded when the device is plugged in.


title: Barcode reader

text: Some modern handheld barcode readers can be operated in wireless networks according to IEEE 802.11g (WLAN) or IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth). Some barcode readers also support radio frequencies viz. 433 MHz or 910 MHz. Readers without external power sources require their batteries be recharged occasionally, which may make them unsuitable for some uses.


title: Barcode reader

text: The scanner resolution is measured by the size of the dot of light emitted by the reader. If this dot of light is wider than any bar or space in the bar code, then it will overlap two elements (two spaces or two bars) and it may produce wrong output. On the other hand, if a too small dot of light is used, then it can misinterpret any spot on the bar code making the final output wrong.


title: Barcode reader

text: The most commonly used dimension is 13 mil (0.013 in or 0.33 mm), although some scanners can read codes with dimensions as small as 3 mil (0.003 in or 0.075 mm). Smaller bar codes must be printed at high resolution to be read accurately.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: A Baháʼí House of Worship or Baháʼí temple is a place of worship of the Baháʼí Faith. It is also referred to by the name Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, which is Arabic for "Dawning-place of the remembrance of God". Baháʼí Houses of Worship are open to both Baháʼís and non-Baháʼís for prayer and reflection. All Baháʼí Houses of Worship have a round, nine-sided shape and are surrounded by nine pathways leading outwards and nine gardens. Baháʼí literature envisages Houses of Worship surrounded by a number of dependencies dedicated to social, humanitarian, educational, and scientific pursuits, although no Baháʼí House of Worship has yet been built up to that extent. At present, most Baháʼí devotional meetings occur in individuals' homes or local Baháʼí centres rather than in Baháʼí Houses of Worship.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: , thirteen Baháʼí Houses of Worship have been completed around the world (including one that was later destroyed). Eight of the twelve that are currently standing are continental temples, located in the United States, Uganda, Australia, Germany, Panama, Samoa, India, and Chile. Two of the continental temples, the Lotus Temple and the Santiago Baháʼí Temple, have won numerous architectural awards. The other four standing Baháʼí Houses of Worship are local Houses of Worship. The construction of two national Houses of Worship is underway and the groundbreaking for a fifth local House of Worship has taken place. Furthermore, Baháʼí communities own over 120 properties intended for future Houses of Worship.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The Baháʼí House of Worship was first mentioned under the name "Mashriqu'l-Adhkár" (; Arabic for "Dawning-place of the remembrance of God") in the "Kitáb-i-Aqdas", the book of laws of Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith. Baháʼu'lláh wrote:


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: O people of the world! Build ye houses of worship throughout the lands in the name of Him Who is the Lord of all religions. Make them as perfect as is possible in the world of being, and adorn them with that which befitteth them, not with images and effigies. Then, with radiance and joy, celebrate therein the praise of your Lord, the Most Compassionate.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The first Baháʼí House of Worship, in what is now Turkmenistan, was planned during the lifetime of Baháʼu'lláh and then designed and constructed during the ministry of his son and successor, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. It was completed in 1919 but later expropriated from the Baháʼís and eventually demolished. The cornerstone of the first Baháʼí House of Worship that is still standing, in the United States, was laid in 1912 by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, and the House of Worship was dedicated in 1953 during the ministry of his grandson and successor, Shoghi Effendi.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Also in 1953, Shoghi Effendi announced a long-term plan to build a temple for each (roughly) continental region. These temples are referred to as "Mother temples" or continental temples and are intended as the first of many temples in their regions. Shoghi Effendi passed away in 1957, but his plans for the construction of Baháʼí Houses of Worship were continued by the Universal House of Justice, a body first elected in 1963 that has led the world Baháʼí community since that time. The Universal House of Justice has included constructing Houses of Worship in the goals of some of its teaching plans. By the end of the twentieth century, further continental Houses of Worship were completed in Uganda, Australia, Germany, Panama, Samoa, and India. In 2001, the Universal House of Justice wrote in its Ridván Message to the Baháʼís of the world that "with profound thankfulness and joy... we announce at this auspicious moment the decision to proceed" with the construction in Chile of the eighth and final continental House of Worship. It was completed in 2016.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Meanwhile, in the Ridván message of 2012, the Universal House of Justice announced the locations of the first local and national Baháʼí Houses of Worship that would be built. The first two national Houses of Worship would be in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Papua New Guinea, while the first five local Houses of Worship would be in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Colombia and Vanuatu. Since then, four of the planned local Houses of Worship have been completed, and the two national Houses of Worship and fifth local House of Worship are in progress. In addition, more than 120 national Baháʼí communities have now acquired properties for the eventual construction of Baháʼí Houses of Worship, compared to 84 national communities that had done so by 1988.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: All Baháʼí temples share certain architectural elements, some of which are specified by Baháʼí scripture. All Baháʼí Houses of Worship are required to have a nine-sided shape (nonagon) and to have nine pathways lead outward and nine gardens surrounding them. While as of 2010 all standing Baháʼí Houses of Worship have a dome, the Baháʼí laws do not require that Houses of Worship have domes. The Greatest Name, a Baháʼí symbol, appears in calligraphy in each temple, often at the top of the dome. All Baháʼí Houses of Worship also have a prayer hall, with seats facing towards the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh in Acre, Israel, which is the Qiblih, the direction Baháʼís face in their obligatory prayers. Baháʼí scripture also states that no pictures, statues or images may be displayed within the House of Worship and no pulpits or altars incorporated as an architectural feature (readers may stand behind a simple portable lectern). Each of the Houses of Worship is unique, and to varying degrees the designs reflect the indigenous cultural, social and environmental elements of their location through the selection of materials, landscaping and architecture.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: A Baháʼí House of Worship is a place of worship of the Baháʼí Faith, where both Baháʼís and non-Baháʼís can express devotion to God. Baháʼí Houses of Worship are open to all regardless of religion, gender, or any other distinction. The only requirements for entry are modest dress and quiet behavior. The Baháʼí laws require that only scriptural texts—of the Baháʼí Faith or other religions—may be read or chanted inside, though in any language. While readings and prayers that have been set to music may be sung by choirs, no musical instruments may be played inside. Furthermore, no sermons may be delivered, and no ritualistic ceremonies practiced. Memorial services are sometimes held in Bahá'í Houses of Worship, and while wedding ceremonies are not permitted inside, they are often held in the gardens of the temples. Several Baháʼí Houses of Worship have established choirs that sing music based on the Baháʼí writings (scriptures). In mainly Christian countries, Baháʼí Houses of Worship offer weekly devotional services on Sundays, with the Bahá'í calendar not yet implemented for temple worship.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Baháʼí literature states that a House of Worship should be built in each city and town. It further stipulates that the Houses of Worship should be surrounded by a complex of humanitarian, educational, and charitable institutions such as schools, hospitals, homes for the elderly, universities, hostels, and other social and humanitarian institutions to serve the areas in which they stand. Shoghi Effendi said the future interaction between the House of Worship and its dependencies could provide "the essentials of Baháʼí worship and service, both so vital to the regeneration of the world." To date, only a few such dependencies have been built and no Baháʼí House of Worship has had the full range of dependencies that are envisioned. Shoghi Effendi also viewed the functions of the House of Worship as complementary to those of the Haziratu'l-Quds (commonly known as a Baháʼí centre), and said that it would be desirable if both these buildings were on the same site. Baháʼí devotional meetings in most communities take place in homes or Baháʼí centres, but Elham Afnan notes that such activities "evoke the spirit" of a House of Worship with the goal that it can eventually be constructed. According to Shoghi Effendi, a Baháʼí temple is a "silent teacher" of the Baháʼí Faith.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Baháʼí Houses of Worship are funded by the voluntary contributions of Baháʼí communities. There are no collections during temple services and only Baháʼís are permitted to contribute to the Baháʼí funds, including funds for the construction and maintenance of Houses of Worship. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi both viewed the construction of Baháʼí Houses of Worship in individual countries as projects of the international Baháʼí community. When Houses of Worship are built, the required funds accordingly come from Baháʼís around the world. Worldwide, expenses associated with Houses of Worship (and with the buildings at the Baháʼí World Centre) constitute a significant part of the spending of the Baháʼí administration.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: In general, a Baháʼí House of Worship and the grounds on which it is situated are the property of the Baháʼí National Spiritual Assembly of that country, and the properties are held in a financial endowment. A committee of the National Spiritual Assembly of the relevant country administers the House of Worship's activities and affairs, but spiritually they see themselves as custodians of a temple that belongs to all the world's Baháʼís.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The Wilmette Baháʼí House of Worship is the oldest extant Baháʼí temple and stands on the shore of Lake Michigan near Chicago. It has received architectural awards. In 1978, it was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places. In 2007, the Baháʼí House of Worship was named one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois by the Illinois Bureau of Tourism. The temple is visited by about 250,000 people every year.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: During his journeys to the West, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá came to Wilmette for the groundbreaking ceremony of the temple and laid the foundation stone on 1 May 1912. The principal architect was Louis Bourgeois, though his original design ended up being amended numerous times due to impractical elements. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1951, and the temple was dedicated in 1953. The total cost of the construction was above $2.6 million. From 1958–2001, the Wilmette House of Worship was associated with a "home for the aged", operated by the U.S. Baháʼí community.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The cladding of the building is composed of a concrete mixture of Portland cement, quartz, and sand, developed for the temple by John Joseph Earley. From ground level, the building stands approximately 58.2 metres tall and the diameter of the dome is 27.4 metres. The auditorium seats 1,191 visitors. The exterior is adorned with symbols from various religions, including the Latin Cross, the Greek Cross, the star and crescent, the Star of David, the swastika (which is an ancient symbol used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism), and the five-pointed star. The grounds of the temple feature nine fountains, rows of Chinese junipers, and a wide range of flowers including thousands of tulips planted each fall.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The Kampala Baháʼí House of Worship, sometimes called the Mother Temple of Africa, is situated in the north of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, on Kikaaya Hill in Kawempe Division. Shoghi Effendi announced that the Kampala temple would be built in 1955 after persecution of Baháʼís in Iran made it impossible for them to build one. It was designed by architect Charles Mason Remey. The foundation stone was laid on 26 January 1957 by Rúhíyyih Khánum, representing Shoghi Effendi. Musa Banani, the first Hand of the Cause in Africa, was also present for the groundbreaking and placed a gift of soil from the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh, sent by Shoghi Effendi, in the foundation. The dedication ceremony was held in January 1961 and was also attended by Rúhíyyih Khánum.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The building is more than 39 metres high, and over 100 metres in diameter at the base. The dome is over 37 metres high and 13 metres in diameter. As a protection against earthquakes that can occur in the region, the temple has a foundation that goes 3 metres beneath the ground. The temple has seating for 800 people. At the time it was built, the Kampala Baháʼí temple was the tallest building in East Africa.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The temple's dome is built out of fixed mosaic tiles from Italy, whereas the tiles of the lower roof are from Belgium. The wall panels contain windows of green, pale blue, and amber colored glass of German origin. Both the timber used for making the doors and benches and the stone used for the walls of the temple are from within Uganda itself. The property includes the House of Worship, extensive gardens, a guest house, and an administrative centre.

text: The fourth Baháʼí temple to be completed (and third still standing) is in Ingleside in the northern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. This temple serves as the "Mother Temple of the Antipodes". According to Jennifer Taylor, a historian at Sydney University, it is among Sydney's four most significant religious buildings constructed in the twentieth century. The initial design by Charles Mason Remey was given to Sydney architect John Brogan to develop and complete. It was dedicated in September 1961 and opened to the public after four years of construction.

text: The Mother Temple of Europe is located at the foot of the Taunus Mountains of Germany, in the village of Langenhain near Frankfurt. It was designed by German architect Teuto Rocholl. The foundation stone for the temple was laid on 20 November 1960 by Amelia Collins and the temple was dedicated on 4 July 1964. Its construction was opposed by a number of Catholic and Protestant churches in Germany at the time. The temple's superstructure was prefabricated in the Netherlands out of steel and concrete. The center of the interior of the temple is illuminated by light shining through over 500 glass panels above. At its base, the interior is 48 metres in diameter. The height from ground level is 28.3 metres and the temple can seat up to 600 people. Seena Fazel describes the House of Worship as having a "distinctive concrete and glass modernist design."

text: The Baháʼí temple in Panama City, Panama was designed by English architect Peter Tillotson. Rúhíyyih Khánum laid the foundation stone on 8 October 1967 and temple was dedicated on 29 April 1972. It is perched on a mountain named Cerro Sonsonate, 10 km northeast of Panama City such that it can be seen from many parts of the city. The temple is built from local stone, which is laid in designs evoking Native American fabric designs and temples of the ancient Americas. The dome is covered with thousands of small oval tiles and rises to a height of 28 metres. The temple has seats made from mahogany for up to 550 people and a floor made from terrazzo.

text: A Baháʼí House of Worship is situated in Tiapapata, in the hills behind Apia, Samoa. It was designed by Hossein Amanat. Both Malietoa Tanumafili II of Samoa, the world's first Baháʼí head of state, and Rúhíyyih Khánum helped lay the foundation stone on 27 January 1979 and attended the dedication on 1 September 1984. The temple was completed at a total cost of $6.5 million. It has a 30-metre-tall domed structure and seats up to 500 people in the main hall plus 200 on the mezzanine level. The structure is open to the island breezes; Graham Hassall writes that this fosters a suitable environment for meditation and prayer.

text: The Baháʼí House of Worship in Bahapur, New Delhi, India was designed by Iranian-American architect Fariborz Sahba and is commonly known as the Lotus Temple. Rúhíyyih Khánum laid the foundation stone on 17 October 1977 and dedicated the temple on 24 December 1986. The total cost was $10 million. The temple has won numerous architectural awards, including from the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and the Architectural Society of China. It has also become a major attraction for people of various religions, with up to 100,000 visitors on some Hindu holy days; estimates for the number of visitors per year range from 2.5 million to 5 million. The temple is often listed as one of Delhi's main tourist attractions, and even as one of the most visited buildings in the world.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Inspired by the sacred lotus flower, the temple's design is composed of 27 free-standing, marble-clad "petals" grouped into clusters of three and thus forming nine sides. The temple's shape has symbolic and inter-religious significance because the lotus is often associated with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. Nine doors open onto a central hall with permanent seating for 1,200 people, which can be expanded for a total seating capacity of 2,500 people. The temple rises to a height of 40.8 metres and is situated on a property that covers 105,000 square metres and features nine surrounding ponds. An educational centre beside the temple was established in 2017.

text: The continental Baháʼí House of Worship for South America (or "Mother Temple for South America") is located in Santiago, Chile. Shoghi Effendi announced Chile as the site for the continental temple of South America in 1953, and in 2001 the process to build the temple was launched. The chosen design was by Siamak Hariri of Hariri Pontarini Architects in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Excavation was initiated at the site in 2010 and construction began in 2012. The doors opened on 19 October 2016. The Santiago temple cost a total of $30 million to build and has won a range of Canadian and international architectural awards.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The Santiago Baháʼí House of Worship is ringed by nine entrances, nine pathways, and nine fountains, and the structure is composed of nine arching "sails." These have also been described as nine "petals" and the temple's shape as "floral"; the "petals" are separated by glass which allows light to illuminate the temple's interior. The exterior of the "petals" is made from cast glass while the interior is made from translucent Portuguese marble. The sides of the temple are held up on the inside by a steel and aluminum superstructure. The temple can seat 600 people and it is 30 metres high and 30 metres in diameter.

text: The first Baháʼí House of Worship was built in the city of Ashgabat, which was then a part of Russia's Transcaspian Oblast and is now the capital of Turkmenistan. It was started in 1902 and mostly completed by 1907, but was not fully finished until 1919. Plans for this House of Worship were first made during the lifetime of Baháʼu'lláh. The design was prepared by Ustad Ali-Akbar Banna, and after his death the construction was supervised by Vakílu'd-Dawlih.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The House of Worship itself was surrounded by gardens with nine ponds. At the four corners of the plot of land surrounding the Ashgabat House of Worship were various buildings: a boys' school; a girls' school; a large meeting hall; and a group of buildings including the offices of the Local Spiritual Assembly, a reading room, and a room for meeting with enquirers.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: After serving the community for two decades, the Ashgabat House of Worship was expropriated by the Soviet authorities in 1928 and leased back to the Baháʼís. This lasted until 1938, when it was fully secularized and turned into an art gallery. The 1948 Ashgabat earthquake seriously damaged the building and rendered it unsafe; the heavy rains of the following years weakened the structure, until in 1963 the building was demolished and the site was converted into a public park.

text: The Battambang, Cambodia temple was the world's first local Baháʼí House of Worship to be completed. The temple was designed by Cambodian architect Sochet Vitou Tang, who is a practicing Buddhist, and integrates distinctive Cambodian architectural principles. A dedication ceremony and official opening conference took place on 1–2 September 2017, attended by Cambodian dignitaries, locals, and representatives of Baháʼí communities throughout southeast Asia.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: The temple in Agua Azul in the municipality of Villa Rica, Cauca Department, Colombia was the second local Baháʼí House of Worship to be completed in the world. The temple design, by architect Julian Gutierrez Chacón, was inspired by the shape of the cocoa seed, which was integral to the local culture before the arrival of the sugar cane industry. An opening dedication ceremony took place on 22 July 2018, followed by devotional services in the House of Worship.

text: A site was selected and purchased in 1932 for a Baháʼí House of Worship in Hadiqa, northeast of Tehran, Iran. Charles Mason Remey provided a design for this temple which Shoghi Effendi then approved. A drawing of the design was published in an issue of "The Baháʼí World". To date, however, the construction of this temple has not been possible.

text: A design was created for a Baháʼí House of Worship near Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. It was created by Charles Mason Remey and approved by Shoghi Effendi in 1952. A photo of the model of the Haifa House of Worship can be found in an issue of "The Baháʼí World". An obelisk marks the site where the House of Worship is to be built, but as of 2010, plans for constructing this House of Worship have not been made.

text: Margit Warburg describes the architecture of the Baháʼí Houses of Worship as "remarkable". Denis MacEoin writes that several of the Baháʼí Houses of Worship are "fine examples of modern religious architecture", but argues that no distinct Baháʼí architectural style has emerged given that the best-designed Baháʼí Houses of Worship each have a unique character. Anne Gordon Perry argues, by contrast, that Baháʼí Houses of Worship may provide "the clearest indication of a distinctive Bahá’í aesthetic thus far ... with their characteristic nine sides, circular domes, serene and welcoming gardens and walkways, fountains, and other aesthetic elements".


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Warburg writes that the presence of Baháʼí Houses of Worship on all continents except Antarctica shows the worldwide presence of the Baháʼí Faith. She also argues that there are a number of parallels between Baháʼí Houses of Worship and mosques: decoration with geometric patterns rather than images or statues, the absence of offering or communion rituals, and the adaptation of architectural designs to local cultural styles.


title: Baháʼí House of Worship

text: Warburg found in her fieldwork at several Baháʼí temples that almost all attendees of weekly services were Baháʼís but that many non-Baháʼís visited at other times during the week. She has questioned whether having the temples open for visitors but without activities at most times during the week is "the optimal mission strategy" for Baháʼís, noting an account of a visitor confused by one temple's apparent lack of purpose. However, Graham Hassall has disputed Warburg's analysis, pointing to the large number of tourists visiting many Baháʼí Houses of Worship and positive coverage in online media such as travel guides and blogs.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Robert Edward Huggins (born September 21, 1953) is an American college basketball coach. Nicknamed “Huggy Bear,” he is currently the head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball team. Huggins previously held the head coaching positions at Walsh College (1980–1983), the University of Akron (1984–1989), the University of Cincinnati (1989–2005) and Kansas State University (2006–2007).


title: Bob Huggins

text: One of only six coaches ever with 900 or more career victories, Huggins has been to 24 total NCAA tournaments, including 23 in the last 26 seasons. He has led his teams to nine Sweet Sixteen appearances, four Elite Eight appearances, and two Final Four appearances (1992 with Cincinnati and 2010 with West Virginia). As of March 2021, Huggins has averaged 23 wins per season over the course of his career. He is also the second coach to win 300 games at two schools.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Huggins, who had moved from Morgantown, West Virginia to Port Washington, Ohio, with his family, played basketball for his father, Charles, at Indian Valley South High School. As a senior, he helped lead his team to a 26–0 season.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Huggins began college at Ohio University. After his freshman season he transferred to his native West Virginia. He played point guard for the Mountaineers from 1975 until 1977 under head coach Joedy Gardner. His career-high was 28 points against Virginia Tech. He averaged 13.2 points as a senior and totaled 800 career points in his three collegiate seasons.


title: Bob Huggins

title: Bob Huggins

text: Cut after a 1977 tryout with the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, Huggins subsequently pursued a Master's degree in health administration at his alma mater, West Virginia University.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Huggins began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at West Virginia under Gardner in 1977. He then spent two years as an assistant to Eldon Miller at Ohio State University. Huggins was only 27 when he became a collegiate head coach at Walsh University in 1980. In three seasons at Walsh, he compiled a 71–26 record, twice earning NAIA District 22 Coach of the Year honors. Huggins directed the Walsh 1982–83 team to a perfect 30–0 regular season mark and an eventual 34–1 mark. After serving as an assistant at University of Central Florida for the 1983–84 season, Huggins was named head coach of the University of Akron. Huggins compiled a 97–46 record and reached post-season play in three of his five seasons at Akron, including an NCAA bid in 1985–86 season.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Cincinnati, while having a rich history, had fallen on hard times. Cincinnati appeared in 5 consecutive Final Fours from 1959 to 1963—and won the national championship in 1961 and 1962. By 1989, when Huggins was hired, though, the Bearcats had not earned a bid to the NCAA tournament since 1977. Even worse, Cincinnati had only one winning conference record in those 12 previous seasons. The Bearcats were invited to the NIT his first two years and then advanced all the way to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament in 1992, Huggins' third season as coach.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Overall, Huggins compiled a 399–127 record (.759) in his 16 years at Cincinnati, making him the winningest basketball coach in the school's history. Huggins directed Cincinnati to ten conference regular-season titles and eight league tournament titles. The Bearcats appeared in post-season play in each of Huggins' 16 seasons. Besides the aforementioned Final Four appearance in 1992, they advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament two other times, in 1993 and 1996.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Huggins earned the Ray Meyer Award as the Conference USA Coach of the Year a record three times (1997–98, 1998–99, and 1999–2000), and was a unanimous choice for C-USA Coach of the Decade. He was selected national coach of the year by ESPN.com in 2001–02. His teams won five consecutive conference tournament titles—all four Great Midwest Conference titles from 1992 to 1995 and the first Conference USA men's basketball tournament in 1996. He was named co-national coach of the year by "The Sporting News" and was Basketball Times' national coach of the year in 1997–98. He earned national coach of the year recognition from Hoop Scoop in 1991–92 and "Playboy" in 1992–93.


title: Bob Huggins

text: During his tenure, Huggins coached three consensus All-Americans: Danny Fortson, Kenyon Martin (the consensus player of the year in 1999–2000) and Steve Logan.


title: Bob Huggins

text: In 1997–98, Huggins directed a team which had only one returning starter to a 27–6 record, the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament and a Top-10 finish in the polls. The team was then upset in the Round of 32 by West Virginia in the NCAA tournament. Huggins' 2001–02 team, unranked when the season began, posted a 31–4 record, setting a school record for wins, made a clean sweep of the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, and was a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, where they lost in double overtime to No 8 seed UCLA in the second round. In 2002–03, Huggins suffered a major heart attack on the last Saturday of September, but was present for the team's first practice two weeks later. The team qualified for the NCAA tournament as an 8 seed, and was ousted in the first round by Gonzaga.


title: Bob Huggins

text: In the 2003–04, Huggins piloted the Bearcats to regular-season and tournament titles, and an NCAA tournament berth while amassing a 25–7 record. Despite a favorable draw—the team was sent to nearby Columbus for the first two rounds of the tournament—the Bearcats were defeated by the Illinois Fighting Illini in the second round, losing by 24 points. The 2004–05 Bearcats posted a 25–8 ledger, the ninth season in the previous 10 that the Bearcats had won at least 25 games. They received a 7 seed in the tournament and lost to eventual Elite Eight participant Kentucky in the second round at the RCA Dome in nearby Indianapolis.


title: Bob Huggins

text: On August 23, 2005, UC President Nancy L. Zimpher gave Huggins an ultimatum: resign and take a $3 million buyout, or be reassigned outside the athletic department for the balance of his contract. Had Huggins not responded within 24 hours, he would have been fired. Huggins had untruthfully told the press he didn't know about the ultimatum until numerous reporters called him in Las Vegas. However, multiple letters between UC and Huggins' attorney showed that Huggins knew he would not be returning for a 17th season, and that both parties been negotiating the terms of his departure. The correspondence also showed that Huggins had known weeks in advance that his ouster was imminent. He ultimately agreed to accept the $3 million buyout.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Zimpher said that the Bearcat program under Huggins didn't fit with her plan to upgrade UC's academic reputation. However, she'd been seriously considering ousting Huggins since he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2004. He ultimately pleaded no contest to DUI.


title: Bob Huggins

text: According to "The Wall Street Journal", Zimpher was particularly upset that news of the arrest broke on the morning of her first graduation as UC's president, at which Coretta Scott King was due to be the speaker. Huggins didn't help his image with Zimpher when an assistant coach, two players and a recruit were arrested in the spring of 2005.


title: Bob Huggins

text: At the time, Huggins' contract had a rollover clause which added a year every summer. Zimpher revoked that clause on June 11, 2004, after his no-contest plea, but allowed Huggins to return for the 2004–05 basketball season. On May 11, 2005, he was given the option of leaving or finishing the last two years remaining on his contract. In a May 16, 2005 press conference, Huggins announced that he was staying until his contract expired on June 30, 2007, thus agreeing to the terms originally offered to him by UC.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After spending a year out of the coaching profession, on March 23, 2006, Huggins accepted the head coaching job at Kansas State University, replacing the fired Jim Wooldridge. The Wildcats had not been to the NCAA tournament since the 1995–1996 campaign and had not had a conference record better than 7–9 since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1996. The previous three Kansas State basketball coaches (Dana Altman, Tom Asbury, and Wooldridge) had combined for a 236–232 () record. In his sole season at Kansas State, Huggins coached the Wildcats to a 23–12 overall record, and a 10–6 Big 12 record. The Wildcats were not invited to the NCAA tournament but accepted an NIT bid and won one game.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Some of Huggins' recruiting targets included consensus top 10 players in O. J. Mayo, Bill Walker, as well as consensus top 100 recruits such as Herb Pope, Ramar Smith, and Jason Bennett. While Mayo, Pope, and Smith all ended up at other schools, Huggins was able to bring in Bennett for the 2006–07 season and Walker—initially slated to join the team for the 2007–08 season, managed to graduate from North College Hill High School early to participate in time for the spring semester. Huggins' second recruiting class was rated even better. The key recruit was consensus top 5 player Michael Beasley out of the Washington, D.C. area. Other recruits in the 2007 class included Walker, Dominique Sutton—a 6'4" swingman out of Durham, North Carolina--Jacob Pullen—a 6'1" point guard from Proviso East High School— and Fred Brown, a 6'2" shooting guard from West Palm Beach, Florida.


title: Bob Huggins

text: In addition to the Huggins' recruits, Kansas State had returned 4 of its top 5 scorers including 2nd team All-Big 12 Conference member Cartier Martin and Honorable All-Big 12 member David Hoskins. The 2005–06 team had been involved in many close games, going 7–9 in games decided by 5 points or less during the season. The Wildcats were picked to finish as high as 5th in the Big 12. Prior to that season, Kansas State had never finished higher than 7th place in the Big 12. The early part of the season got off to a rocky start as the Wildcats started the year 4–3 which included losses to the New Mexico Lobos and California Golden Bears by a combined 54 points. The Wildcats would ultimately benefit from the eligibility of Bill Walker and won six straight games, including a tournament victory in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic. The Wildcats would soon hit another rough patch as they lost three straight games to Xavier, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Even more damaging was the loss of star freshman Bill Walker when he tore his ACL five minutes into a 69–65 loss to Texas A&M. After the Walker injury, seniors Martin, Lance Harris and Akeem Wright stepped up their game and led Kansas State to a 7-game winning streak which included a win over the ranked Texas Longhorns in Austin that broke a 22-game Texas home winning streak. The 2nd half of Big 12 play saw the Wildcats go 4–4 including a pair of losses to its in-state rival the Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas State ended the Big 12 season in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament losing to Kansas for a third time, but did pick up a crucial 66–45 win over Texas Tech. The Wildcats received a NIT bid and went 1–1 beating Vermont and losing to DePaul. Kansas State ended the season 23–12 (10–6)--the most victories from a Wildcat team since 1987–1988, a year that saw them lose to the Kansas Jayhawks in the Elite Eight of the 1988 NCAA tournament.

text: On April 5, 2007, Huggins announced that he had accepted the position of head coach at his alma mater, West Virginia University. Huggins succeeded John Beilein who left to fill the same position with the Michigan Wolverines.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Only nine games into the 2007–2008 season, the Mountaineers entered the AP Top 25 poll carrying a #24 ranking with an 8–1 record. On December 22, 2007, Huggins achieved his 600th victory as a head coach in a road game at Canisius. The Mountaineers finished the regular season with an 83–74 overtime victory over St. John's, then opened the Big East tournament with a 58–53 victory over Providence. In the second round of the tourney, the Mountaineers upset the #15-ranked Connecticut Huskies, 78–72. Joe Alexander contributed with a career-high 34 points and 7 rebounds. The Mountaineers then lost to the #9 Georgetown Hoyas, 55–72, in the tourney semifinals.


title: Bob Huggins

text: The showing by WVU in the Big East tourney propelled them into the West region of the NCAA tournament as a #7-seed. The Mountaineers defeated Arizona in the first round 75–65 and defeated #2-Seed Duke 73–67 to move into the Sweet Sixteen giving Huggins his first "Sweet Sixteen" appearance since 2001 when he coached at Cincinnati. In the Sweet 16 matchup against #3-seed Xavier, the Mountaineers rallied from an 18-point deficit early in the game to tie the game 64–64 and send it into overtime. However, the Xavier Musketeers pulled out the victory, 79–75, with two 3-pointers in the last 1:18 of the ballgame. West Virginia finished the season ranked #17 in the AP poll. At the end of just his first season at West Virginia, Huggins signed an 11-year contract extension that would keep him coaching at West Virginia until the age of 65.


title: Bob Huggins

text: On May 18, 2008, Huggins completed his recruiting class with the signing of small forward, Devin Ebanks. The #13-ranked prospect had signed with Indiana before decommitting and looking at Memphis, Texas, Rutgers and WVU. Ebanks was the last addition to the freshman class that included #11-power forward Kevin Jones, #34-power forward Roscoe Davis and #26-point guard Darryl Bryant.


title: Bob Huggins

text: West Virginia began the 2008–09 season 4–0, led by senior Alex Ruoff, junior Da'Sean Butler and a freshman class highlighted by Devin Ebanks and Darryl Bryant. After wins over Delaware State and Iowa, they lost the Las Vegas Invitational tournament championship game to Kentucky 54–43, but then bounced back with two wins to move to 6–1. However, they lost a last-second game to #22 Davidson and Stephen Curry in Madison Square Garden, 68–65. Following the loss, WVU posted five straight victories; this streak included a 76–48 win over #13 Ohio State in Columbus, snapping the Buckeyes' 14-game win streak and handing OSU their biggest home loss since 1998. However, the streak ended in a 61–55 loss to #5 Connecticut which was followed by a 75–53 loss to #15 Marquette. The Mountaineers bounced back with a three-game win streak that included a 75–58 victory over #14 Georgetown in Washington, D.C. The streak ended in the 79–67 loss to #4 Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl. WVU defeated St. John's, but then lost to #7 Louisville and #20 Syracuse back-to-back. The Mountaineers ended the losing streak with an 86–59 win over Providence, but then lost to #4 Pitt for the second time.


title: Bob Huggins

text: West Virginia followed the loss to Pitt with a 93–72 victory over #13 Villanova, featuring Da'Sean Butler's career-high 43 point performance. The Mountaineers then defeated Notre Dame and Rutgers before losing to Cincinnati 70–59 in Huggins' return to Cincinnati. The Mountaineers bounced back with consecutive wins against USF and DePaul, but lost to #6 Louisville 62–59 in Morgantown while hosting College GameDay. Having finished the regular season at 21-10 (10-8), West Virginia earned a first round bye in the 2009 Big East tournament, and opened the second round of play with a 74–62 victory over Notre Dame. In the quarterfinals round, West Virginia defeated #2 Pittsburgh 74–60. The Mountaineers then lost a semifinal game to Syracuse in overtime, 74–69. Syracuse was fresh off the heels of a six overtime victory against Connecticut, the longest game in Big East history. WVU earned a #6 seed in the NCAA tournament and played their first-round game against the #11 seed Dayton Flyers. The season ended with a 68–60 loss to the Flyers.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Huggins' third season with the Mountaineers would prove to be one of the best in his career. During the 2009-10 season, West Virginia had a banner year, winning a school-record 31 games. WVU won the early season 76 Classic, defeating Long Beach State in the quarterfinals, Texas A&M in the semi-finals, and Portland in the championship round. The Mountaineers defeated a total of seven NCAA tournament teams throughout the season, including out-of-conference victories over aforementioned Texas A&M and Ohio State. Huggins' Mountaineers split the annual Backyard Brawl with Pitt, with each team winning on their home court. WVU finished the regular season with a 24–6 (13–5) record, tied for second (with No. 9 Villanova and No. 18 Pitt) in the Big East, behind only No. 4 Syracuse. This was WVU's highest regular season finish in their seventeen-year Big East tenure (1995-2012). The Mountaineers received a double-bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. WVU subsequently defeated Cincinnati, Notre Dame in the semi-finals, and the Georgetown Hoyas in the championship game to win their first and only Big East tournament title.


title: Bob Huggins

text: WVU received a #2 seed (their highest ever) in the NCAA Tournament in the East Region. Huggins' squad defeated #15 seed Morgan State in their First Round match-up, #10 seed Missouri in the second round, and the #11 seed Washington Huskies in the Sweet 16 round. This set the stage for an Elite Eight match-up between the Mountaineers and the #1 seed Kentucky Wildcats, coached by Huggins' long-time friend, John Calipari. In a hard-fought, back-and-forth contest, WVU ultimately persevered in a 73–66 victory which sent the Mountaineers to their second Final Four in school history.


title: Bob Huggins

text: On April 3, 2010, Duke, the #1 seed from the South, and the Mountaineers squared off in the second of the Final Four games. Duke showed its full potential in the game, hitting 52.7 percent of its shots (and 52 percent of its three-pointers) while shredding West Virginia's 1–3–1 zone trap. Duke led 39–31 at the half and maintained its red-hot shooting in the second half. After WVU lost star forward Da'Sean Butler, a Wooden award finalist, to a devastating knee injury, the defining play of the game came when Nolan Smith missed a contested, fast-break layup, but Kyle Singler and Miles Plumlee combined to slam home the rebound to give Duke a 14-point lead. Despite the Final Four loss, WVU finished their season with a 31–7 record, and ranked #3 in the final Coaches' Poll, and #6 in the AP Poll.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After earning just the second Final Four appearance in school history, Huggins entered WVU's 2010-11 season with more modest but still notable expectations. The Mountaineers were predicted to finish fifth out of sixteen in the regular season standings, behind Pitt, Villanova, Syracuse, and Georgetown. Forward junior Kevin Jones was also named to the 2010-11 Preseason All-Big East First Team. West Virginia opened nonconference play with an 8–2 record, with losses coming to Minnesota in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off championship game and at Miami. Despite starting 0–2 in conference play with losses to St. John's and Marquette, the Mountaineers rebounded to win seven of their next nine games, including wins over No. 13 Georgetown, and a nonconference matchup over No. 8 Purdue. However, then No. 21 WVU did lose their annual matchup with in-state Marshall in the Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic, in what would prove to be the Thundering Herd's only victory over a ranked opponent that season. It would also prove to be Huggins' only loss to Marshall during his ten meetings as Mountaineers' coach. Huggins later disputed the characterization of the matchup as a "rivalry" and mocked the notion that he was afraid of playing Marshall in subsequent years.

text: The Mountaineers began February and the second half of their conference slate sitting at 15-6 (6-3). However, West Virginia faced top 25 teams in seven of their nine final regular season matchups, and went 5–4 in games from February 5 to March 5, 2011. This stretch was highlighted by losses (at No. 12 Villanova, No. 4 Pitt, at No. 20 Syracuse, and at No. 6 Pitt) and some notable wins (No. 7 Notre Dame, No. 16 Uconn, and No. 11 Louisville). After a quick exit in the second round of the Big East tournament to Marquette, the Mountaineers earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they were seeded #5 and beat #11 seed Clemson in the second round. After the victory over the Tigers, Huggins and the Mountaineers found themselves matched up against John Calipiri and #4 seed / No. 11 Kentucky for the second straight tournament. West Virginia, which reached the Final Four a year prior by beating Kentucky in the regional final, led 41-33 after closing the opening half on a 22–7 run. But Kentucky scored the first 11 points coming out of the break and wore down the Mountaineers, winning 71–63. Calipiri and the Wildcats would later beat Ohio State and North Carolina before losing to the eventual champion UConn in the Final Four.

text: In 2015–16, the team got off to a 15–1 start, including a 4–0 mark in the Big 12 and climbed as high as #6 in the AP Poll following a win over #1 Kansas. The Mountaineers were ranked for the final 16 weeks in the AP poll. The Mountaineers finished runner-up to the Jayhawks in the Big 12 and made it to the Big 12 tournament championship game before losing to KU. In the 2016 NCAA tournament, West Virginia was awarded a 3 seed, but its stay was short-lived as the 14th seeded Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks knocked them off in the first round.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Similar to their previous season, WVU raced out to a 15-2 (4-1) start to begin the 2016-17 season, including winning the NIT Season Tip-Off and winning at No. 6 Virginia and at home against No. 1 Baylor. After losing back-to-back games against Oklahoma and Kansas State, WVU — then 15-4 (4-3) — would not lose more than one game in a row for the remainder of the season. The Mountaineers won nine of their final twelve regular season games to finish 24-7 (12-6), and tied for second place heading into the conference tournament. For the second consecutive season, WVU advanced to the Big 12 tournament championship game before losing to Iowa State. WVU earned a 4 seed in the 2017 NCAA tournament and notched wins against 13 seed Bucknell and 5 seed and 14th ranked Notre Dame to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third time since 2010. WVU's season ended after 1 seed and No. 2 ranked Gonzaga, who went on to finish as the NCAA runner up, hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with under a minute to play, winning 61–58.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After losing to No. 25 Texas A&M in the Armed Forces Classic, WVU began the 2017-18 season with a 15-1 (4-0) record, including winning the AdvoCare Invitational, and notching wins against No. 15 Virginia, and No. 7 Oklahoma. The Mountaineers then struggled for the remainder of January, losing five of their next six games, including losses to No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 10 Kansas, and Kentucky. Halfway through conference play, WVU sat at 16-6 (5-4) to begin February. The Mountaineers proceeded to win six of the final nine games of the regular season to finish 22-9 (11-7), and finish in second place in conference play for the third consecutive season. WVU beat Baylor and No. 14 Texas Tech before falling to No. 9 Kansas in the Mountaineers' third straight Big 12 Conference Championship appearance. Earning a 5 seed in the NCAA tournament, West Virginia beat 12 seed Murray State and 13 seed Marshall to advance to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances and their third Sweet 16 in four seasons. The Mountaineers' win over Marshall was notable as the teams used to compete annually in the Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic, and marked the first-ever postseason meeting between the only two Division I men's basketball teams in West Virginia. The Mountaineers' season ended with a loss to 1 seed and 2nd ranked Villanova, who went on to win the national title ten days later.


title: Bob Huggins

text: Despite beginning the 2018-19 season ranked No. 13, West Virginia opened the season with losses in two of their first three contests before winning seven of their next nine games to sit at 8-4 heading into conference play. West Virginia proceeded to lose eight of their next nine games, with the sole win being a surprise upset over No. 7 Kansas. West Virginia fared only marginally better over the second half of conference play and finished the regular season at 12-19 (4-14), earning last place in Big 12 conference play for the first time ever. Despite finishing last in the conference, the Mountaineers upset Oklahoma and No. 7 Texas Tech to advance to the conference tournament semifinals. This led Huggins to tweet a video of himself—when he was the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats—emerging from a coffin to say, "Why all the long faces? We're not dead yet!". West Virginia lost to No. 17 Kansas in the semifinals the next day. Despite their 14–20 record, the Mountaineers were invited to the College Basketball Invitational, where they beat Grand Canyon in the first round before losing to Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals. The team's 21 losses were the most in a season in school history.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After finishing last place in the Big 12 during the prior year, preseason Big 12 polls picked the Mountaineers to finish 5th in the 2019-20 conference standings and five star recruit Oscar Tshiebwe was selected as the Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year. West Virginia raced out to an 11–1 start through November and December, with their sole loss coming at St. John's. The 11–1 start included winning four contests as part of the Cancún Challenge, and beating No. 2 Ohio State. The Mountaineers continued their success at the beginning of conference play, winning six of their nine first conference games. This included victories over No. 22 Texas Tech and a non conference win over Missouri as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. However, the Mountaineers proceeded to lose six of their next seven conference games, including losses to No. 3 Kansas and at No. 1 Baylor. Their sole win over the seven games came against an Oklahoma State team that was 13–12 (3–9) at the time. The losing streak left the Mountaineers at 19-10 (7-9) entering the month of March and at risk of missing the NCAA tournament. However, West Virginia won their final two games, at Iowa State and against No. 4 Baylor, to finish the regular season 21-10 (9-9). This earned the Mountaineers a four-way tie for third place with Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech, and trailing No. 1 Kansas and No. 5 Baylor. After tiebreakers, WVU was assigned the sixth seed in the Big 12 Conference tournament against 3 seed Oklahoma. However, the contest was not played due to the sudden arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The NCAA tournament and all postseason play was also cancelled, ending the Mountaineers' season.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After finishing the 2019-20 season in a four-way tie for third place, the Mountaineers entered the 2020-21 season selected to finish third, behind only Baylor and Kansas. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a number of non conference games were either postponed or cancelled, including the renewed Backyard Brawl against Pitt. The Mountaineers were also initially scheduled to compete in the 2020 Battle 4 Atlantis alongside perennial heavyweights Duke and Ohio State. However, the early season tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic. As a result, all of the teams, including WVU, were invited to compete in the first annual Crossover Classic at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As the tournament neared, South Dakota has had among the highest rates of new COVID-19 cases per-capita nationwide. A top draw of the tournament, Duke, immediately took a pass and was replaced by Dayton. The rest of the seven teams originally set to play in the Bahamas: Creighton, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Utah, West Virginia, Wichita State and Memphis reflected a combined 20 Final Fours and 70 Sweet 16 appearances. However, despite promising he would never go to South Dakota, Huggins and the Mountaineers were one of just two "original" teams to compete in the tournament. Creighton, Dayton, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Wichita State, and Utah all dropped out of the tournament prior to the event. In spite of the logistical chaos, WVU beat South Dakota State, VCU, and Western Kentucky in successive days to win the Crossover Classic. The Mountaineers finished an abbreviated non conference schedule at 6–1, with the sole mark coming in a five-point contest against No. 1 Gonzaga in the Jimmy V Classic. Despite their hot start in 2020–21, West Virginia was rocked by Oscar Tshiebwe's sudden announcement on New Year's Day that he was leaving the Mountaineers' program and would not return. Tshiebwe, who was picked as Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year and named to the Second Team All-Big 12 in the prior season, had averaged 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds through the first 10 games of the 2020–21 season.


title: Bob Huggins

text: After Tshiebwe's departure, West Virginia opened conference play by alternating wins (Iowa State, Northeastern, Oklahoma State) and losses (No. 3 Kansas, Oklahoma, and No. 4 Texas) before two conference contests were postponed in mid-January due to COVID-19 issues. After trading wins and losses to begin conference play, the Mountaineers won five straight conference games at the end of January and beginning of February, including wins over No. 10 Texas Tech, No. 23 Kansas, and again at No. 7 Texas Tech. This put the Mountaineers at 14-5 (7-3) in mid-February before they dropped a 2OT contest to No. 12 Oklahoma, breaking the Mountaineers' five conference game winning streak. West Virginia finished the remainder of conference play 4–3, to finish the regular season at 18-8 (11-6), or tied for third place behind No. 3 Baylor and No. 12 Kansas. Due to additional coronavirus issues, West Virginia only played regular season winner Baylor in one game, rather than the traditional full conference round robin play, leaving the Mountaineers with 17 conference games, rather than 18. WVU lost in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament to No. 12 Oklahoma State to begin postseason play. Reflecting the strength of the Big 12 and WVU's schedule, the Mountaineers were selected as a 3 seed for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, tied with the 2016-17 season for WVU's second highest ever seeding. On the back of a season-high 30 points from sophomore Miles McBride, West Virginia defeated 14 seed Morehead State in the tournament before losing in a three-point upset to Jim Boeheim's Syracuse Orange in the second round. After the season, McBride declared for the 2021 NBA draft where he was selected in the second round and quickly traded to the New York Knicks. The Mountaineers' win over Morehead State was also Bob Huggins' 900th career victory.

text: The Mountaineers were selected by coaches to finish fifth (out of tenth) in the Big 12 preseason poll to open the 2021-22 season, behind Kansas, Texas, Baylor, and Texas Tech. West Virginia opened the season at 4–1, with a win over Pitt in the Backyard Brawl and taking two out of three contests in the Charleston Classic. On November 18, 2021, Huggins earned his 903rd career victory by defeating Elon in the quarterfinals of the Classic, passing Bob Knight all-time among Division I coaches and tying Roy Williams, who retired in April with the fourth-most wins. Despite a semifinal loss to Marquette in-between, just three days after tying Roy Williams, Huggins passed Williams altogether when the Mountaineers beat Clemson. Upon passing Williams in career wins, Huggins remarked, "I’m not going to quit until I beat Roy in something." However, the Mountaineers didn't fare well in Big 12 play, posting a last place mark with a 4–14 record. WVU was given the 9-seed in the 2022 Big 12 men's basketball tournament, where they defeated Kansas State 73–67 in the preliminary round and lost 63–87 to Kansas in the next day's quarterfinal round. Huggins was given two technical fouls and ejected from the game with 9:59 in the first half after fiercely disputing a technical foul called on Taz Sherman.

At home, the children are haunted by a ghostly presence of Mawarni, then Bondi and Rini find their grandmother Rahma dead inside the well. After finding an unsent letter on Rahma's desk to a man named Budiman, Rini and Hendra deliver it to him downtown to seek his help. Budiman, an occult writer, reveals that when Bahri was going to marry Mawarni, Rahma did not approve due to Mawarni’s career and indications of infertility. Budiman gives Rini his article about a fertility cult of Satan worshippers that target barren women who want to have children, with the caveat that the last child be surrendered voluntarily in seven years. They fear for the safety of Ian, who turns seven in three days. The next day, when delivering an urgent letter from Budiman to Rini, Hendra gets run over by a truck.


title: Satan's Slaves

text: Bahri decides to move to town with his children. At night, members of the cult surround the house as a storm rages, but after Bahri tells them he is unwilling to give up Ian, they leave. The moving van fails to show up the next day, forcing them to stay another night, with the ustad keeping watch. Rini finally opens Budiman's letter, which explains that the last child shall be taken by the cult because they are Satan’s own child. It also explains that the cultists' arrival last night was simply to mark the house for the undead to pick up the child. Mawarni and several pocong appear, including Hendra, and kill the ustad. Ian, who just turns seven, cheerfully joins Mawarni and the pocong. Budiman arrives, evacuating Bahri and the other children.

title: Satan's Slaves

text: Director Joko Anwar had wanted to direct a remake of "Pengabdi Setan" ever since starting his filmmaking career, as the film had moved him to become a filmmaker. Rapi Films already had a remake of the film in the works with a different director attached, but Anwar managed to successfully pitch his own vision for the film to producer Sunil Samtani and was attached to the project soon after. Samtani granted the film a budget exceeding Rp 2 billion, far more than the average films produced by Rapi, in order to fully realize director Anwar's vision for production design.


title: Satan's Slaves

text: The production team took four months to search for a filming location to accurately represent the 1980s era in which the film takes place. The original filming location was located in Puncak Bogor, West Java, but the owner did not give them the proper permissions to film there. The team continued searching until they found an old house in the Pangalengan area which they redesigned to fit the aesthetic of the era.


title: Satan's Slaves

text: The film soundtrack is directed by Aghi Narottama, Tony Merle, and Bemby Gusti. Director Joko Anwar said that there are at least five songs that will be on the album plus 16 others so there will be a total of 21 tracks. Three of them were released on October 19, 2017 on Spotify and iTunes.

title: Satan's Slaves

text: John Lui of "The Straits Times" gave "Pengabdi Setan" 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that "the scares are carefully timed and spaced between plenty of character-building moments, showing the closeness of the family. These soap opera bits have aged the least well, but there is a low-key feel to these moments of filial piety that is thoroughly modern." "Variety"'s Richard Kuipers wrote that the film has "high marks when it comes to the fundamental horror movie task of sending shivers up the spine and quickening the pulse." James Marsh of the "South China Morning Post" gave the film 3/5 stars, saying "a slow-burning tale that builds to a chaotic and somewhat muddled conclusion, "Satan’s Slaves" is bursting with ideas." Jonathan Barkan of "Dread Central" gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing "without a doubt, "Satan's Slaves" is certainly creepy. This Indonesian occult horror remake gets it right". Writing for "SciFiNow", Anton Bitel gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, saying "Mirrorings, repetitions and doppelgängers are fitting images for a film that is itself a reprise (with considerable variations) of Sisworo Gautama Putra’s 1980 film of the same name — the very film that inspired Anwar to become a writer/director of genre films."


title: Satan's Slaves

text: In a 9 October 2017 interview with "The Jakarta Post", director Anwar revealed that the film was a prequel to the original and that a sequel was planned, with the original film now being the third part in a trilogy.

text: Loblaws Inc. is a Canadian supermarket chain with stores located in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. Headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, Loblaws is a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies Limited, Canada's largest food distributor.


title: Loblaws

text: Loblaw Groceterias was founded by Theodore Loblaw and John Milton Cork in 1919. Loblaw opened the first Canadian self-service grocery store in Toronto in June 1919. During the 1920s the company grew throughout Ontario. By the 1930s it had 107 stores in Ontario and 50 in New York state.


title: Loblaws

text: In 1947, Garfield Weston struck a deal to acquire a block of 100,000 shares of Loblaw Groceterias Co. Limited, which had become one of the country's leading supermarket chains. By 1953, George Weston Limited had established majority control.


title: Loblaws

text: Loblaws stores used to operate across Canada until the early 1960s when most locations in western Canada were rebranded as SuperValu, and later as Real Canadian Superstore.


title: Loblaws

text: Retail sales and earnings were in decline in the 1970s as Loblaws' aging chain of supermarkets looked increasingly uncompetitive. The company initiated a broad marketing strategy that saw a prototype store renovated and remodelled in new colours and a new Loblaws logo. In the mid-1970s stores in the United States were sold to Bells Markets; however some Loblaws stores in northwestern Pennsylvania continued operation into the early 1990s.


title: Loblaws

text: In 1996, in addition to revitalizing the look of its stores, Loblaw management earmarked $40 million for the development of its in-house, private label program.


title: Loblaws

text: Super Centre was a hyper supermarket banner used by Loblaws during the 1990s in Ontario. Some stores were an expansion from the Super-Valu banner. These stores were larger than standard supermarkets (Each of the stores are about 60,000 to 120,000 square feet (5,000 to 10,000 m²) in size on average) and sold a wider selection of merchandise and included pharmacies and department store merchandise. The initial concept was successful, but many of their locations failed as competition grew.


title: Loblaws

text: The concept was abandoned by the late 1990s with locations being downsized, re-branded as Loblaws stores and sold altogether. The brand survived in Atlantic Canada as Atlantic Superstore and re-emerged later as Real Canadian Superstore.


title: Loblaws

text: Beginning in 2008, some new and renovated Loblaws stores were given a new store format and were named "Loblaw Great Food", dropping the red-orange curved-L logo. Stores under this banner are also subject to slightly different collective-agreement terms with the United Food and Commercial Workers, the union representing Loblaw employees.


title: Loblaws

text: The chain's location on the site of the former Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, opened in late 2011, is promoted as simply Loblaws and uses the familiar "L" logo, but is officially named ""Loblaws" Great Food", indicating that similar terms are in place at that store.


title: Loblaws

text: On July 19, 2013, Loblaws introduced their new concept "Loblaws CityMarket" in British Columbia (in North Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver). Loblaws CityMarkets are now operational in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.

title: Siddhartha Mukherjee

text: Mukherjee is a trained haematologist and oncologist whose research focuses on the links between normal stem cells and cancer cells. Through his findings, he had shown the roles of cells in cancer therapy. He has been investigating the microenvironment ("niche") of stem cells, particularly on blood-forming (haematopoietic) stem cells. Blood-forming stem cells are present in the bone marrow in very specific microenvironments. Osteoblasts, cells that form bone, are one of the principal components in this environment. These cells regulate the process of blood cell formation and development by providing them with signals to divide, remain quiescent, or maintain their stem cell properties. Distortion in the development of these cells results in severe blood cancers, such as myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia. Mukherjee's research has been recognised through many grants from the National Institutes of Health and from private foundations.


title: Siddhartha Mukherjee

text: Mukherjee and his co-workers have identified several genes and chemicals that can alter the microenvironment, or niche, and thereby alter the behavior of normal stem cells, as well as cancer cells. Two such chemicals – proteasome inhibitors and activin inhibitors – are under clinical trials. Mukerjee's lab has also identified novel genetic mutations in myelodysplasia and acute myelogenous leukaemia and has played a leading role in finding therapies for these diseases.

In 2015, they prospectively identified these progenitor cells from bone, and showed, using lineage tracing, that these cells can give rise to bone, cartilage, and reticular cells (hence the term "OCR" cells). They established that these cells form a part of the adult skeleton in vertebrates, and that they maintain and repair the skeleton.

text: OCR cells are among the newest progenitor cells to be defined in vertebrates. The work generated wide interest and was described in prominent journals as a major breakthrough for understanding biology and for understanding diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Mukherjee's team have shown that OCR cells can be transplanted into animals, and they can regenerate cartilage and bone after fractures. With Daniel L. Worthley's team at the University of Adelaide and South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute they have been working on the translational cell-based research on osteoarthritis and cancer.

text: Mukherjee's lab has also been investigating the interaction between cancer genetics and the microenvironment, including the metabolic environment. It has been well established that metabolism in cancer is fundamentally altered, Mukherjee's team has found the role of a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet (ketogenic diet) in cancer therapy. They showed that ketogenic diet suppressed insulin production in the body, and this in turn enhances pharmaceutical inhibition of "PIK3CA", a gene which is mutated and commonly overactive in cancers.
