| New Star Wars movie could reveal Palpatine's forgotten Jedi friend - Inverse Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:00 AM PDT When we first meet Sheev Palpatine, the man who would be Emperor, he's already past his prime. This elderly character is still masterful and conniving, manipulating the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Republic like pawns. So what was Palpatine like before this? How did he learn the skills he implemented to overthrow the Jedi Republic as we know it? A forgotten comic-book character may hold the answer. Palpatine was born a minor royal on Naboo, and it wasn't until his university years that Darth Plagueis converted him to the Dark Side. Even after massacring his family and taking the name Darth Sidious, he still kept his public persona as Sheev Palpatine, along with all his social ties to other noble families. According to the non-canon comic Star Wars Republic #64, one of those friendships was with Ronhar Kim, the son of Vidar Kim, a prominent politician. Ronhar was Force-sensitive, and sent to train with the Jedi as an infant. He only returned to Naboo after the loss of his brothers and mother to comfort his father, then representing Naboo in the Galactic Senate. By that point, Ronhar had reached the rank of Jedi Knight, but that still wasn't enough to defend his father when he was assassinated in a speeder. Ronhar caught the assassin, but a suicide injection kept him from getting any more information. It's unclear whether or not Palpatine was behind this assassination, but he certainly benefited from it.  Ronhar met Palpatine at Vidar's funeral, as the young Sheev was elected to replace Vidar in the Senate. Ronhar toyed with the idea of becoming a politician like his father, but Palpatine convinced him an alliance between a Jedi and a politician is far more powerful than a Jedi simply becoming a politician. Ronhar continued to work closely with Palpatine, and while this allowed the Sith Lord to master how to coerce the Jedi, it led to Ronhar's demise. During the Clone Wars, Kim and his padawan Tap-Nar-Pal joined the Army of the Republic. Upon learning about Darth Tyranus, otherwise known as Count Dooku, the two Jedi formed a plan to test every Senator for midi-chlorians to discover who is hiding Force sensitivity.  Who did they pitch this plan to? Palpatine, of course! He immediately dismissed it, saying other Senators would object to testing, and asked them to hold off on presenting their idea to the Jedi Council. They agreed to wait until after their upcoming mission to Merson. Unfortunately, they found themselves immediately mobbed by battle droids upon their arrival and died in battle. Palpatine manipulated his supposed "friend" from the very start, using him as a gateway into the mind of the Jedi, into the Jedi Council, and, possibly, into the Senate itself through the assassination of his father. A modern adaptation of Ronhar's lifetime would allow us to trace Palpatine rise from young upstart to merciless Sith Lord. Even after death, his name was still being used to further nefarious ends. Palps used his death to stoke fear among the Republic. If there's one thing Palpatine knew, it's to keep his friends close, and his enemies closer. It's unfortunate that an innocent Jedi had to die for this knowledge.  |

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation
