The luxury South Island lodge previously owned by country music superstar Shania Twain has added individual rooms to the premises, opening it up to holidaymakers for the first time.
Until now, the entire Mahu Whenua complex was only available for private hire, for a whopping $15,000 a night.
Renovations have included four new cottages which were built with couples in mind. The new accommodation offers king size beds, ensuite bathrooms, flatscreen TVs and wifi - as well as the inclusion of meals. Guests also have access to a communal shared space with open fireplaces and a farmhouse style kitchen.
The palatial estate also features a helipad, stables, games room, swimming pool and a spa.

Dash Rendar (whom you might remember from the classic N64 title Shadows of the Empire) wanted the whole gang to have a reunion of sorts. After the recent defeat of the empire a nostalgic feel was in the air that one could not escape, a sense of belonging was felt throughout the entire rebellion. However, Han and his crewmates were somewhere in the Derpadon system and if they wanted to make it to the Coxmonger system in time for the party, then an all-nighter was in order…
It was nothing new for Solo, with his history of out racing the likes of Jabba the Hut and nearly every bandit across the galaxy he was surely used to nights like this. In previous years he would have been able tohallway of the millennium falcon, admiring the wonderful artwork along the walls. It had always needed a woman’s touch. The fair princess Leah took it upon herself to make the drafty, mechanical ship into a rousing spectacle of beauty and art. Luke walked past the pictures of doggies running and children rolling aimlessly through the grass. Admiring everything on his way to the bedroom.
Luke tugged away at his sheets, trying desperately to fit them on his bed. Would it kill Han to spare me a decent set of sheets? I only defeated the evil emperor for silly’s sake! Luke thought as he stretched his arms across the ends of the bed.
He stretched and stretched and streeeeeetched, but with all the force he was using a nice little Toot!

I first heard about psychic surgery from my hairstylist, George, a chatty, gossipy reservoir of obscure information. George and his friend Robert had undergone treatment from a Filipino psychic surgeon named Angel at a small nondenominational church in North Austin in February. A few weeks had passed, and George was happy to report that the neck and lower back problems he had previously experienced were much improved.
Except for a small amount of pressure when the surgeon’s hands penetrated his body, George said, there had been no pain. There had been some blood; a small scab formed, but it washed right away. The only time George was the least bit apprehensive was on this third visit, when Angel opened his chest wall and began to massage his heart. “Ifor a second treatment, he asked Angel to work on his foot, which had been broken years ago but had never healed properly. “He pulled what looked like a chicken bone out of my left foot,” Shrake said. He experienced no pain, he told me—other than the pain of a foot that had been constantly sore for years—nor did he notice any relief. Shrake acknowledged that this was possibly attributable to his lack of faith.
Susan Walker had four sessions with Angel and said that the leg cramps and pain that had been bothering her for eight years became much less intense. Susan had watched while the Filipino worked on a friend’s liver. “I saw his hands go to her liver, saw this pulsing organ going around his fingers,”

Kentucky
Kentucky (1938)
There are few films set in Kentucky, and even fewer that grapple with life in the state. (For instance, we didn't think the scene in Kingsman in which Colin Firth murders a church full of zombified white supremacists represented life in KY). Kentucky, a laid-back horse-racing drama from the days of eye-popping Technicolor, does the trick. Picking up 75 years after the Civil War -- in which the state was nominally a neutral player, under Union protection despite being a slave state -- the movie stars Walter Brennan as Peter, a thoroughbred trainer who watched aUnion soldier kill his father over horses; Loretta Young as the daughter of a wily old-timer; and Richard Greene as her love interest… who also happens to be a descendent of the Union soldier. Can they work out their differences to win the Kentucky Derby? Of course! But it's fun watching the criss-crossed Romeo and Juliet affair anyway.
Louisiana
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Louisiana -- New Orleans in particular -- offers a blend of cultures, history, language, and surreal swamp setting that make it a popular place to depict in film. But the Tennessee Williams play that made its way from the stage to an Elia Kazan-directed film, bringing along three of its four Broadway stars, gets the nod for its timelessness, setting in the French Quarter, head-on approach to

The man accused of shooting his wife last weekend fired a shotgun out of the window of the home striking the victim in the right hip, the affidavit for the arrest warrant indicates.
In the probable cause section of the affidavit, which was obtained by the Herald Democrat Thursday, the document notes that Samuel Todd Towne, 55, said his wife, who was outside the house, broke the window on the front door and he stuck a 12-gauge shotgun out of that window to scare her. Towne told Grayson County Sheriff's Office investigators that his wife grabbed the barrel of the gun and it went off.
The 46-year-old victim was taken to Texoma Medical Center, and hospital officials said she was released Wednesday.
The affidavit, which was prepared by Investigator Dusty Wainscottof the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, notes that the incident occurred at about 12:30 a.m. Oct. 8 in the 400 block of Gun Club Road. Wainscott arrived to the scene of the white trailer home at about 1 a.m. He noted in the affidavit there was blood drops and shattered glass outside the door and a bolt action shotgun was located leaning against the wall outside the residence.
According to the affidavit, the incident came about through arguments communicated through texting. Towne told investigators that he and his wife had been arguing through text messages about going out to celebrate her birthday at a bar. The two did not go out together and visited bars at separate times. Towne returned to his home at about 8 p.m. and texted

If you use bike lanes in Vancouver, you may have noticed more motorized devices taking up space on the street.
It's illegal to use electric skateboards or other low-powered electric-powered devices, such as scooters and skates, on roads in B.C.
Toby Mitchell works at Pacific Boarder skate shop in the Kitsilano neighbourhood. The store doesn't sell the devices, and he says he's seen riders swerve in and out traffic, into other cyclists.
"I think it's a one-way ticket to people passing away," he said. "It's so insanely unsafe."
Salesperson demonstrates an electric skateboard remote control inside Boarder Labs in Vancouver on Tuesday, July 2, 2019. (Maggie MacPherson/CBC) (Maggie MacPherson/CBC)
Motorized devices are regulated by the provincial Motor Vehicles Act. The city regulates the use of park paths and the seawall.

The JNF, the organization known in Hebrew as Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael, said it leased the land near the Palestinian town of Beit Jala to the settlement of Neveh Daniel in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc for agricultural use following the eviction of the Palestinians, whom it said were squatting at the site. The Israeli Civil Administration in the West Bank confirmed that the temporary structures erected there by Israelis are illegal and said they will be removed “in accordance with our order of priorities.”

Devarim (1995), Amos Gitai's first installment in the now notorious City Trilogy (also including the 1998's Yom Yom and 1999's Kadosh) tells the story of three disillusioned men living in Tel Aviv. Based on Yackov Shabatai's novel "Zihron Devarim" Gitai's film is as much of a fictional story as it is a truthful depiction of Israel's lost generation. Aesthetically well-composed, at times provocative, but ultimately not as convincing as the last installment in the trilogy Devarim is a film that by large seems to rehash what Israeli cinema from the early 90s has been mass producing-declamatory works with questionable artistic values.
In Devarim there is plenty to arouse your attention and even more to disappoint you rather quickly when you find out where the story is heading. Cesar (playedby Assi Dayan, son of the Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan), Goldman (Amos Gitai), and Israel (Amos Shoov) are on the edge of their capabilities to deal with reality. Their lives, a never-ending mess of societal and cultural contradictions, have come to a halt. The men are hardly interested in what many in their country find worth living for. When disaster strikes they quickly fall in a state of lethargy-life appears to have lost its meaning.
A man with an enormous experience as a documentary filmmaker Amos Gitai most certainly does not need any introduction to those who follow world cinema. Regarded as Israel's most prolific contemporary director he regularly appears on film festivals throughout Europe and Asia. His films tend to focus on the reality in his native

Plaintiff's car came to rest with its front end against a telephone pole 10 or 12 feet west of the point of impact and 1½ or 2 feet north of the north curb of Manchester. The rear end of plaintiff's car was in Manchester and it was headed in a northwesterly direction. Defendant's car stopped, headed in a southwesterly direction, astride the center line of Manchester.
Plaintiff testified that when she saw defendant's car approaching there were no other cars immediately behind it, or coming west in thefrom the evidence that plaintiff stopped her automobile with its front wheels about a foot or foot and a half from the north curb of Manchester. This put the front end of the car even closer to the curb, and in a position where it could come in contact with the projection or overhang of the right front fender and body of any automobile traveling west on Manchester within a few inches of the curb. This is a legitimate inference that a jury might draw from the evidence. Lee v. Holland, Mo. App., 258 S.W.2d 30, loc. cit. 33.

The No WTO Combo
The No WTO Combo was a one-shot punk rock band started by Krist Novoselic (former Nirvana bassist). The band consisted of Jello Biafra (former frontman of Dead Kennedys); guitarist Kim Thayil of Soundgarden; and the rhythm section of Sweet 75, with Gina Mainwal on drums and Novoselic on bass.
They were originally scheduled to play the Showbox November 30, the night before the WTO meeting of 1999 in Seattle, but the performance was canceled because the venue's staff could not get past the police "curfew zone."
They rescheduled the show for the next night, December 1, but Biafra and Novoselic played a short acoustic set that night down the street at The Central Tavern, where Biafra was approached by local record producer Mark Cavener. Cavener offered toas important for all informants, with few exceptions (94% and 96%). It was also important to three quarters of the participants (75%) that an interpreter should talk the same dialect as the individual, and having an interpreter trained in the language and having skill in medical terminology was important for most of the participants (83%).

Mismatched: Speedy was born with bi-coloured eyes - one is blue and the other is gold. She has a feline form of complete heterochromia, a condition that also occurs in some other animals
It appears that Bowie shares similarly mismatched colour eyes to Speedy - a white domestic cat from Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.
But Bowie's different colour eyes are the result of being punched at secondary school, by a school friend.
The impact tore the sphincter muscles in Bowie's left eye and although he had several operations, his pupil remains permanently open.
This causes the eye to look like it is a darker colour, but it is actually the same shade.
Lorraine Hudgins took the photographs of odd-eyed Speedy as she kept her company at her desk.
Mrs Hudgins said: 'Shebelongs to the owners of the print shop where I work as a graphic designer.
'I took some photos of her playing with my computer mouse while she was helping me out with my work.
'She's a sweet tempered cat that loves attention - when she's not curled up in a corner asleep.'
Speedy is also deaf, but Lorraine and Speedy's owners say she copes well nonetheless.

He's returning to live action for, which looks promising , but it's still more of a character drama than the kind of guns-blazing adventure that Zemeckis perfected in the 80s. Nobody really makes movies like those anymore-- maybe Zemeckis is the guy we've been waiting for to bring them back.Offering up colorful characters and breathtaking shootouts in worlds that were both incredibly dangerous and yet infused with a vibrant joie de vivre, French writer-director Luc Besson used to unleash some of the most exhilaratingand inventive action movies the world had ever seen. Regrettably, his latest directorial efforts have been largely mired in the forgettable yet ongoing adventures of. Still, there's hope on the horizon of a return to form with Besson prepping the crime-thriller, about a gangster in witness relocation. Of course,is great, but he's already revisited it through a remake (), a TV series, and two sort-of spiritual spin-offs (the classicand the flopped and forgotten).So if I had my druthers, Besson would return to the candy-colored world ofwhere hover cars fly around a sky-high metropolis, work uniforms are taken to a whole new level, and Gary Oldman is still one of the scariest things in the universe!

When Will Mark Ballas Return To 'Dancing With The Stars'? His Return Is Undecided
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The news broke on Monday that Dancing with the Star pro Mark Ballas was injured. It was unknown, at the time, if he would be well enough to perform on Monday's second live show, but fans were hopeful that he'd pull through and be able to perform. Unfortunately, on Monday's show of Dancing with the Stars, Mark did not perform because of his injury. In a video montage, we saw that Mark hurt his back during the camera blocking rehearsal. It seemed like a pretty serious injury, leading fans to wondering when Mark will return to Dancing with the Stars, once he fully recovers.
In his absense, Alan Bersten stepped in and18, 1985 for misdemeanor charges. At the time of the arrest, the police officers *967 recovered from Earl a quantity of cannabis sativa, a vial of Ativan tablets, a vial containing Valium tablets and an open bottle of whiskey. Earl was intoxicated.
The police officers then transported Earl to the DuPage County jail, where they released him into the custody of the DuPage County jail officials ("the jail officials"). These officials then placed Earl in an isolation cell. Some time later, in the early morning hours of October 19, 1985, Earl hanged himself from the bars of the cell by a bedsheet. By the time he was discovered and medical personnel were summoned, Earl was dead.

I went to visit my son Nathanael at his new home in the Santa Barbara Riviera. For lunch he took me to The Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach, a well-known outdoor restaurant on the beach by the ocean. While waiting for our food to arrive, an unknown number called my cellphone. It was Kevin Hardy. He told me he covered business, labor and the economy for the Des Moines Register, and was researching why some towns in Iowa were thriving while many were losing population and failing economically. Then he said something that surprised me.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Fairfield was Iowa’s fastest-growing city among cities of a similar size. Kevin wanted to know what role I thought Maharishi University of Management had played in the demographic andan Italian spot and a joint peddling pizza and steak.
In fact, local officials count only one vacancy in the storefronts that line shady Central Park. It’s just one more sign of success in this town of 9,500 in a state where most small cities and rural areas are seeing residents leave.
Since 1969, census data show Iowa’s metropolitan areas have gained nearly a half million people, while smaller cities and rural places have lost more than 171,000 residents.
But Fairfield has prospered, particularly in recent years. Between 2010 and 2015, the city saw a 4 percent population gain – a rate that rivaled the growth of some of Iowa’s much larger metro areas.
This southeast Iowa city is known as a magnet for practitioners of Transcendental Meditation at Maharishi University of

Prior to the mid 20th century, upon graduation Australian doctors spent time in general practice. A medical career usually included completing an intern year immediately after graduation as a resident in a major teaching hospital. After a period of time in general practice, some doctors would seek specialist qualifications. Possibly reflecting the historical origins of Australia as a series of British colonies, these doctors would travel overseas, most often to the UK, to specialise and then return to establish practice.
As the Australian population grew post World War II, the public hospital system also grew demanding an increasing number of specialists. Local training program emerged and therefore the ability of a doctor to enter specialist training directly following the mandatory intern year

the same concepts of the initial films.
Going back to the Mad Max films, initially there was speculation that Tom Hardy would be a new road warrior (maybe the feral child grown up) that takes up the mantle of the legendary Max. I love that idea, but most likely he'll play the same Max. Not that it dooms the film, but I like the notion of not always continuing with the same characters, especially when recasting for the role due to the original actor's age or willingness to return.
I think we'd get wilder and more unique films this way, especially in the science fiction genre.
Source Code was ( imho ) one of the best Sci-Fi films of the last few years, along with Moon and District 9.
Inception was morewhat to write (take out all of the Alien stuff from Spaihts's original script... that's what Lindelof did). Spaihts deserves a fair bit of the blame too. And Tim Rothman
I'm dying to read Spaihts' original Alien prequel draft before it became Prometheus.
Unfortunately you're right about a lot of the blame falling on Ridley in terms of the story for Prometheus. Lindelof was asked what he'd do with it, and he said he would remove some of the standard alien/xenomorph stuff. Ridley was already thinking along those lines so that is why he was interested in what Lindelof's take on the script was.
So yeah, Lindelof gets some of the blame, but Ridley was on that same path anyways, and still could have brought in another writer after Lindelof worked

***** Matt Bors is one of the best editorial cartoonists working and maybe the most important. The 2012 Herblock Prize winner and same-year Pulitzer finalist has frequently displayed the traditional, crucial skill of boiling down a moment in time to a smart, summary statement that challenges our initial conceptions. Bors also works in a lively style that makes use of strip-comics progressions, is capable of working outside of the editorial cartooning arena if that's where the work takes him, fearlessly criticizes his fellow cartoonists when they rely on tired visual cliches and empty-headed tropes, and seems extremely comfortable on-line. The 29-year-old Portlandsectors: back sector (17 cm × 40 cm), front sector (23 cm × 40 cm), and a start box (8 cm × 12 cm) in the centre. The back sector contained plants, filters, and 4 immature conspecifics to prevent social isolation of the subjects, which could affect cognitive performance ([@zoz017-B4]). The subject was housed in the front sector for the entire experiment and could not enter the back sector due to the presence of a grid net at the end of the start box. In the front sector, the bottom consisted of a plasticized paper sheet with a gravel pattern printed on it. This bottom was used because in preliminary experiments using a natural gravel bottom, we often observed the guppies searching for food among the gravel instead of participating in the test.

Dutch Double At 470 Worlds
470 World Championships 2009
Day three of the 470 World Championships off the Royal Danish Yacht Club's club house in Rungsted, Denmark and it is the Dutch who are stealing the show, topping both men's and women's fleets.
Having sailed three races on Monday, Tuesday was a comparatively short one with just one to sail, the final of the qualifying series.
The Costers brothers, Sven Coster and Kalle Coster (NED), went into today's racing joint leaders with Croats Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic, and came first in the yellow group, their third bullet out of six races. They now have now pulled into the lead of the men's division at the end of the qualifying round.
"It is nice to be right up there," enthused Sven Coster. "Weis very talented. The new crop has really improved."
Rechichi and Parkinson are tied on 17 points with the 2009 European Champions, Guilia Conti and Giovanna Micol from Italy and the brand new British pairing Pippa Wilson, the Yngling gold medallist from Beijing, and Saskia Clark, who was sixth in the 470 in China last year. Clark's Beijing helm, Penny Clark, now racing with Katrina Hughes, was second overall yesterday, but a 15th today has dropped them to ninth.
"We got a good start and we were able to follow people in the right direction," McNay recounted of today's race. "The leaders were always in sight. It wasn't until the last downwind leg that we thought we had a chance to win the race." On the penultimate leg they overtook

the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act’s key section, which prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriages and denied same-sex couples who were married under state law a panoply of federal benefits — from favorable tax treatment to the ability to be buried together in veterans’ cemeteries — that are available to opposite-sex married couples.
Which got us wondering: How many same-sex marriages have there been in the United States since 2004, when Massachusetts became the first state to legalize them? Our best estimate: At least 71,165, but almost certainly more.
Gathering reliable figures on same-sex marriages turns out to be a lot trickier than one might think — largely because, as Justice Kennedy wrote in his DOMA opinion , “[b]y history and tradition the definition and regulation2012; Connecticut witnessed 5,759 from 2009 through 2011. Nearly 2,500 same-sex couples were married in Washington state between Dec. 6, 2012 and March 31 of this year. Maine, where same-sex marriages became legal on Dec. 29, had 428 through last week.
California presents a special case. Same-sex marriages there were performed from June 2008, when the state Supreme Court legalized them, until voters passed Proposition 8 that November, which inserted a ban in the state constitution. In the absence of any official state figures, we relied on an estimate by the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute that 18,000 same-sex marriages took place in California during the four-and-a-half months they were legal; the state still recognizes those marriages. (The Supreme Court today also declined to rule on an appeal

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is investigating a deadly officer-involved shooting that happened Saturday night.
According to a press release issued by the sheriff's office, deputies were called to a home on Old Highway 280 at 10:16 p.m. about a domestic situation involving a mentally ill person.
When deputies arrived, the mentally ill person had a weapon and charged an officer.
Nathaniel B. Dorough, 21, was shot by a deputy after he refused to stop. Deputies on the scene issued immediate medical aid and paramedics were called.
Dorough was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sheriff John Samaniego responded to the home. In the press release, he issued the following statement: "This is a sad event and I offer my deepest condolences to Nathaniel's family and friends. Mental health issues are one of thewho is on trial for first-degree murder along with two other men, Jonathan Kenneth Dombowsky and Long Nam Luu.
But there is no evidence to support the existence of a second gun—only the one Yakimchuk used, Silver said during the continuation of closing arguments on Tuesday.
Yakimchuk also told the fake crime boss that he shot Hana in the back and in the head, but forensic evidence found Hana had only been shot in the back. This is just one example of how Yakimchuk embellished the events he described to police during the undercover sting, Silver argued.
During closing arguments, all three lawyers have tried to destroy Yakimchuk’s credibility in order to prove their clients were not involved in the alleged contract killing connected to a drug turf war in Saskatoon.

The Atacama Desert in Chile is known for being home to several astronomical observatories. The region's high altitude and scarce rainfall provides crystal-clear skies for impeccable observing conditions.
But this high desert also offers an unparalleled approximation of the conditions on Mars. With its harsh, dry environment and intense ultraviolet radiation, most life in this extreme desert exists as microbial colonies underground or inside rocks.
That makes the Atacama Desert a good place to practice looking for life on Mars.
NASA's Atacama Rover Astrobiology Drilling Studies (ARADS) team just concluded their second season in Chile, testing out their KREX-2 rover. Thirty-five researchers, scientists, engineers, and support staff spent a month testing out this prototype rover, sending it on various mission to use its drill and life-detection instruments. Using the unforgiving landscape,they were able to demonstrate the technical feasibility and scientific value of a mission that searches for evidence of life on Mars.
"Putting life-detection instruments in a difficult, Mars-analog environment will help us figure out the best ways of looking for past or current life on Mars, if it existed," said Dr. Brian Glass, a scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center and the principal investigator of ARADS. He also led the first expedition in 2016. "Having both subsurface reach and surface mobility should greatly increase the number of biomarker and life-target sites we can sample in the Atacama."

Blade of Mercy （慈悲の刃）
A special trick weapon passed down among
hunters of hunters. One of the oldest weapons
of the workshop.
Splits into two when activated. The weapon's
warped blades are forged with siderite, a rare mineral
of the heavens. Most effective in swift attacks,
such as after a quick-stepping.

A trick weapon crafted by the workshop heretics, the
Powder Kegs.
A prototype weapon serving as a simple firearm and
spear, possibly created in imitation of a lost Cainhurst
weapon.
Lacks any notable functions, saving that it is the only
trick weapon with an attached gun.

The stake driver, with its queerlyan easily-handled silver sword.

Ludwig's Holy Blade （ルドウイークの聖剣）
A trick weapon typically used by Healing Church hunters.
It is said that the silver sword was employed by Ludwig,
the first hunter of the church. When transformed, it
combines with its sheath to form a greatsword.
The Healing Church workshop began with Ludwig, and
departed from old Gehrman's techniques to provide
hunters with the means to hunt more terrifying beasts,
and perhaps things still worse.

Get Out, Jordan Peele's excellent new movie, recently had its perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating ruined by critic Armond White. In a now-deleted tweet spotted by the Wrap, star Lakeith Stanfield issued a succinct response to White's review. "Armond White is a bitch," Stanfield reportedly said. Peep the screenshot:
In the Tomatoes excerpt of White's rotten review, published in the conservative-leaning National Review, Get Out is described as "an attenuated comedy sketch in which serious concerns are debased." The film now holds a 99 percent critical average on the site. In his own tweeted take on the film, Stanfield said Peele's work left him feeling "rejuvenated."
Stanfield, as anyone who follows his social media activity is aware, regularly tweets and deletes. Last month, the breakout Atlanta star tweeted and deleted "MigosTopic: Barbara Bintliff

The stakes are high - for global automakers, oil producers, economies, and the environment.
INFRASTRUCTURE ROADBLOCKS
As with battery electric cars, a major challenge for fuel-cell automakers is a lack of infrastructure, with few hydrogen fuel stations in the world. Estimates vary, but it costs about $2 million to build a single hydrogen fuel station in the United States, according to Toyota executives.
Safety is also a concern. Hydrogen is a highly flammable element when not handled properly.
The Toyota launch pits fuel-cell technology against battery electric in a race to capture the heartselectric cars include Nissan Motor Co, Tesla Motors Inc, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, GM, Ford Motor Co and Chinese automakers backed by the country's industrial policymakers. China offers generous purchase incentives for those buying battery electric cars and aims to have 5 million "new energy" vehicles - mostly all-electric and near all-electric plug-in hybrids - on the road by 2020. Several of these will be exhibited at the Beijing auto show from April 20.
Tesla chief Elon Musk has said hydrogen is an unsuitable fuel for cars. In a videotaped speech last year to employees and others at a new Tesla service center in Germany, Musk said: "Fuel-cell is so bullshit. Hydrogen is a quite dangerous gas. It's suitable for the upper-stage rocket, but not for cars."

As a result, the die cushion pad and the piston of the pneumatic cylinder unit are moved down and the air sealed in the pneumatic chamber is compressed. Therefore, the movement of the die cushion pad is absorbed by the compression of air in the pneumatic chamber.
However, if the die cushion capacity is increased and the production rate further rises, an excessively large peak pressurizing force is generated at the instant of time the upper mold and lower mold are brought into contact. This peak pressurizing force is called a surge pressure, and a peak value increases in the air with a large compressibility.

Alberta MLA Maria Fitzpatrick Shares Harrowing Story Of Domestic Violence In Support Of Bill 204
EDMONTON — An emotional recounting of her own harrowing history as a victim of domestic violence has earned an NDP politician a standing ovation and support from all members of the Alberta legislature.
The bill would allow victims of domestic violence to break their leases without financial penalty, thereby making it easier for them to escape abusive situations.
Fitzpatrick told the house that at one point during her troubled nine-year marriage to her ex-husband, who has since died, she awoke to find he had pointed a gun to the back of her head.
She recalled hearing the clicking sound of the hammer as the trigger was pulled, and his hysterical laughter as she realized there were nobullets in the gun.
She said he threatened her that the next time, there would be bullets.
"He beat me. He raped me,'' she told the silent assembly.
He told her he would kill their daughters first, in order to see her pain, and then he would kill her.
"I knew it would be just a matter of time before he followed through on these threats.''
Fitzpatrick, who was born and raised in Newfoundland, got married on Sept. 5, 1972 and almost immediately knew she was in trouble.
Through the course of their marriage, she said she suffered broken bones, black eyes, sexual assault and two miscarriages as a result of the abuse.
"Three times I left with my kids,'' she said. "Twice I went to shelters. Twice I was forced to return or live

The bumper protection device for an automobile, which can be sized to fit any automobile bumper, helps to protect both a front bumper and a rear bumper of an automobile from scratches, dents, and scrapes as a result of parking the automobile on a street or in a parking garage. Furthermore, the bumper protection device for an automobile is configured to automatically extend the bumper shield to protect the bumper as soon as a driver places the car in a parking gear, which saves the driver the time, frustration, and energy of either having to manually cover the bumper with anotherThe Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a decisive victory in Taiwan taking the presidency as well as a majority of the legislature.

For the last eight years, the island has been under the administration of Ma Ying-jeou who was responsible for increasing Taiwan’s political and economic ties to the mainland. However, Tsai and the DPP support a Taiwan more independent from China, which has not gone unnoticed by Beijing.
According to China Cheat Sheets, “the change in leadership promises to usher in another era of instability across the Strait of Taiwan that separates the two regions.”

But, Nehlen has some impressive supporters.
Major General Paul Vallely (USA-Ret.), who served 32 years in the Army, having retired as Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Army, Pacific, for one, supports Nehlen, saying, “Ryan has not stood tall on controlling Obama and government spending, the border or refugee influx.”
But, Ryan, “has a chance to show his strength—now,” he said.
This strength-showing exercise comes via the biggest news of the week, reported by Jay Solomon of the Wall Street Journal.

(218) The "particular, instinctive attachment which all Natives of Africa felt towards Denys" (208) suggests he is understanding and sympathetic, nothing like the typical Imperialist of the time. With this statement, the author not only praises the couple's humanity but also covertly expresses disdain for Europe's influence in wild Africa. She mourns the "tractors heaving up and down where the glades had been," (75) driving the game and natives to reserves for refuge. Blixen feels the colonial impact on Africa is "loathsome" (211) and is the cause of death for the African nations: "European civilizationâ¦cut through their roots; now they were constantly runninghad not had enough out of life till now." (227) The author's recollection of her flights with Denys also portrays her desire to experience life to the fullest. She counts flying as the "greatest, most transporting pleasure of [her] life on the farm" because "it opens up a new world." (229) Her curiosity of the world shines through when she describes the lives of townspeople as "a sad hardship and slavery" (229) because they "know of one dimension of the world only," (229) having never flown before. Denys' invitations to fly sound to Blixen "like the propositions which people make to you only in a dream."

Its not that he's wrong really, but the way he said it left a bad taste in my mouth.
And just to illustrate the point, the aforementioned friend just sent me this IM while I'm writing this post: "Farce India and Catersham need to hurry up and decide their drivers."

McLaren was interested on Hamilton and Heikki didn't have management that could have gained him position in the team that sounds equal. He was number 2 and bad one. Car was bad with him and really all upgrades was only for Hamilton driving style. With bigger balls he would have got better position in team but he was too good and fair. Good guys don't always win.

the bulk of pollination of most crops is done by wild insects, including many species of wild bee such as bumblebees.
In the UK, for example, recent studies suggest that about one-third of pollination is delivered by honeybees, the rest being carried out by a range of wild insects. These animals need undisturbed places to nest, and flowers to feed on when the crops are not flowering.
However, bee diversity has declined markedly in Europe, with many species disappearing from much of their former range, and some species going extinct. The UK alone has lost three species of native bumblebee, and six more are listed as endangered.

The Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) is unquestionably one of America's most influential thinkers. Long before Swami Vivekananda's famed sojourn in North America, Emerson - along with Thoreau, Whitman, Blake and others - introduced Eastern thought to the Western mind, ploughing the fields fifty years before Vivekananda and others seeded them.
Emerson's lofty thought was permeated with an infatuation with oriental philosophy - especially Hinduism. This enticed him away form an early career in the Christian ministry into a mystic search that his creative writing only partially appeased, even though it decidedly altered the course of Western thought for more than a hundred years to come.
In an essay entitled Emerson as Seen from India, written shortly after Emerson's death, Pratap Hunder Mozoomdar, a leader of the Brahma Samajdeclared: "Brahmanism is an acquirement, a state of being rather than a creed. In whomsoever the eternal Brahma breathed his unquenchable fire, he was the Brahman. And in that sense Emerson was the best of Brahmans. He shines upon India serene as the evening star. He seems to some of us to have been a geographical mistake."
Another author and scholar, Herambachandra Maitra suggests that the Massachusetts mystic gave Hindus assurance and faith: "Emerson appeals to the Oriental mind. He translates into the language of modern culture what was uttered by the sages of ancient India in the loftiest strains. He breathes a new life into our old faith, and he assures its stability and progress by incorporating with it [other] truths revealed or brought into prominence by the

the evolving debate over kwawoe. The Korean government has occasionally relaxed its grip on the practice over the years. In 1989, private tutoring by college students became permissible.
Middle and high school students also were permitted to take extracurricular courses at authorized private educational institutions (hagwon in Korean), beginning in 1991. In 1996, when the government decided to allow private tutoring by Korean graduate students, though, it also announced a crackdown that resulted in numerous English‐speaking “cowboy” and “backpack” tutors being kicked out of the country. Despite the new court ruling, the government clearly remains uncomfortable with the idea of private schooling.
The two reasons President Kim gave for his continued dislike of kwawoe echo those of Chun: “The lower‐income classes will feel unable to cope with this, and parentsbreakdowns increase just before and after the exam.
Like water running down a hill, past every obstacle in its path, Korean parents have maneuvered around the law for two decades. Now that the ban on private schooling has been lifted, they will probably seek out private education with renewed enthusiasm, even though the Korean government still seems determined to limit the practice. According to the Korea Herald, one of two large English‐language daily papers, research conducted in 1980 found that 13 percent of elementary school students, 15 percent of middle school students and 26 percent of high school students took private lessons. By 1997, the percentage of students taking private lessons had increased to 70 percent in the elementary schools and 50 percent in the middle and high schools.

their actions which will creepily lead to their dictatorship.
But the most significant revealing sign is the appointment by Tsipras, of the former Chief Justice of the High Court, Vasiliki Thanou, as head of his Legal Office. Mrs. Thanou, is known for her skills as a lawyer as well as for her political credentials of being a left-wing supporter of long standing. She served, with the support of SYRIZA, as interim prime minister prior to the election of Lukas Papadimou in Government. It is obvious that Thanou, will be advising Tsipras on changes in the legal and political processes of the country and on possible changes to the Constitution that would facilitate him to consummate his secret plan. Indeed, she will be knitting, with her skilful fingers, the regaltoga that Tsipras will be wearing as dictator of the proletariat. Since her appointment, she launched a vehement attack against New Democracy for its audacity to criticise her appointment.
The question rises with no easy answers. How can one kill the plan of Tsipras at the initial stages of its incubation? But there is an answer, and it comes from an unusual quarter, by which the Tsipras plan will be dead in its first breath: Ancient Greece comes to the rescue of modern Greece, Iphigenia in Aulis: Since it is impossible presently for the Opposition to force an election, the only way that would impel an election is by the resignation of Prokopis Pavlopoulos from the presidency.

Day Watch
A man who serves in the war between the forces of Light and Dark comes into possession of a device that can restore life to Moscow, which was nearly destroyed by an apocalyptic event.
Anton belongs to the Forces of the Light as do his powerful girlfriend and apprentice, but his son is a powerful teenager from the Darkness and Anton protects him. When the balance between Light and Darkness is affected by the death of some evil vampires, Anton is framed and accused of the murders, and he chases an ancient chalk that has the power of changing the destiny of its owner. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilIn fact, most games make people learn to work as a team. This is mainly because for the game to be won, each member has to play their part towards the same. Teamwork is necessary not just in the office but also at home. When playing games, people also get to know their strengths so that they can capitalize on it when it is needed. Teamwork is a life skill since people can go through and win various kinds of difficulties when they learn to work as a team.

All work with no play makes Jack a dull boy. Playing games make people have fun as they take a break from something they have been doing. It is fun playing games with others as people socialize and get to

H&M HEADS TO THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS TO CELEBRATE THE UPCOMING LAUNCH OF CONSCIOUS EXCLUSIVE 2018
On April 5th, H&M celebrated its 2018 Conscious Exclusive collection with an intimate cocktail party in Los Angeles, attended by campaign star Christy Turlington Burns, Paris Jackson, Naomie Harris, Kate Bosworth and Amanda Seyfried, among others. The collection, inspired by the creative home of 19th and early 20th-century Swedish artists Karin and Carl Larsson, will be available in selected H&M stores around the world, as well as online at hm.com, from April 19th.
6 apr, 2018 09:00 CEST
The star-studded event, hosted by Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor at H&M, took place at the iconic Garcia House, designed by architect John Lautner.

The US-ASEAN strategic partnership pact that was adopted at that Kuala Lumpur meeting spelled out a plan of action to deepen the relationship over the next five years, as well as identifying the areas of priority for cooperation on regional, global and transnational issues.
Since President Obama took office, his administration has appointed the first US ambassador to ASEAN, resident in Jakarta, and has instituted an annual summit between the president and ASEAN leaders.

Dennis Townsend (b.1933) is one of the most respected of the Rye Potters.
He started work at Rye Pottery in
1947, joining David Sharp as a fellow apprentice.
His career with Rye Pottery followed much the same pattern as David Sharp's
- he went away to do his National Service when he was twenty-one, at the
end of his apprenticeship, but stayed for only three years when he returned.
Rye pottery could not afford to support too many fully qualified potters,
so he left to form Iden Pottery.
For those of you old enough to remember the BBC TV 'Interlude' footage
of a potter's wheel, Dennis's hands were the ones throwing the pot.
Iden Pottery is best known for its stoneware, and the quality has always
been excellent.
Dennis withhiseyes closed
It was set up by Dennis Townsend
at his home in Iden, a village near Rye, when he left the Rye Pottery in
1959. Due to lack of space in his garden shed workshop he moved to larger
premises in 1962, and then again in 1966 to Rye, taking over the premises
of Ray Everett in Conduit Hill, where
he operated until its closure.
By 1968 there was a large export side to the business, and at home the
wares were stocked by Heals and Harrods. In 1972 Jim Elliot bought in as
a partner (Jim was later to take over Cinque
Ports) and stayed until 1980. Over the years the company expanded and
contracted to suit the economic climate, and managed at best to be very
successful and at worst to keep its head above water.

so the oncoming car's speed must be drastically reduced to avoid a rear-end collision. The right-of-way on an arterial means the right to immediately use the road ahead without being required to brake your car in order to accommodate another entering the highway. One entering an arterial must be reasonably sure he can enter into the flow of the traffic thereon without disrupting it. To disrupt the flow of traffic is to create a traffic hazard. The minority thinks Pintar was causally negligent in entering the highway without ascertaining that Laufenberg was coming at an excessive speed and in blocking the path of the Laufenberg car by not accelerating faster than he did. From Pintar's testimony, he traveled 100 feet while Laufenberg traveled 1,000. If Laufenberg was goingafter work on the night of the accident. After having several beers they decided to visit a cocktail bar in the city of Milwaukee and started out for that destination. Avina was in the lead and prior to the accident, some miles away from the starting point, Laufenberg passed Avina, Avina in turn passed Laufenberg, and Laufenberg passed Avina a second time, at an admitted speed of 80 miles per hour. After this last passing, Avina and Laufenberg traveled east on Highway 15 toward their common destination almost as one car, or as cars in tandem.
A traffic officer testified he was going west on Highway 15 about two miles west of the scene of the accident *135 when Laufenberg and Avina going east passed him at a speed

THE BELLINGHAM HERALD(CNN) -- Last week, for the first time in decades, students from Wilcox County, Georgia, attended a school-sponsored prom that was open to all students rather than a private, racially segregated prom.
For decades, Wilcox County High School hadn't hosted a prom for its 400 students. Instead, parents and their children organized private, off-site, racially segregated parties known to most as "white prom" and "black prom." After students planned their own integrated dance last year, school leaders announced they would sponsor the school's first prom -- and it would be open to everyone.
"Everything went off without a hitch," Wilcox County schools Superintendent Steve Smith said this week -- just as he expected.
The last official school proms were held in Wilcox County decades ago, before schools were racially integrated, community

The Official Cash Rate in New Zealand will remain unchanged at 2.5 percent, as the economic conditions in the country and around the world do not yet warrant an increase to the rate.
While presenting the latest Monetary Policy Statement earlier today, March 8th, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Alan Bollard said that the bank has analyzed the outlook for national inflation levels and decided that the most economically prudent action at this point in time would be keep the OCR unchanged at the current rate of 2.5 percent.
Describing the current economic conditions in New Zealand, Alan Bollard said that the country is showing signs of improvement, but the main financial indicators have not yet grown enough to reach the level of stability which requiresan increase to the OCR.
It is expected that economic activity will increase further during 2012 as more recovery efforts and rebuilding projects get underway in Christchurch.
Household spending is also showing signs of improvement, and is expected to pick up even further as the year goes on.
The Governor added that the high commodity prices for New Zealand’s export goods are also helping the economic recovery in New Zealand, and boosting domestic economic activity.
According to the Reserve Bank, on an international scale, continued policy actions by central banks around the globe are helping bring stability and economic confidence to the worldwide economy.
The improved conditions internationally are allowing international investors to take greater risks in international investment practice, adding to the appreciation in the value of the New Zealand dollar.

the cross-country rally prototype from Wolfsburg that had been victorious in both the 2009 and 2010 Dakar Rallies pursued three aims: a more efficient cooling system, more power output at high altitudes and improved driveability were the key topics that drove the development of the four-wheel vehicle which now delivers 310 hp. Between the beginning of the design of the third-generation Race Touareg in mid-April and its competitive debut and first victory at the Silk Way Rally through Russia in mid-September no more than about 150 days passed: a tightly packed programme which, in addition to the concept design, included the body of the first prototype, numerous rig tests and quality inspections, the roll-out plus long-run tests covering the simulated double “Dakar” distance.

The front of the cross-country rally prototype has been reshaped from scratch. This approach has transferred the Volkswagen brand’s visual design strategy to the functional design of the rally vehicle. As a result, the car’s new appearance exhibits partitions with a heavy horizontal emphasis, which corresponds to the design principles of the Touareg. The headlamps are one of the key elements of the new look. The exterior form embodies the characteristic shape of the headlamps used in the production model and through the use of LED elements assures the visual resemblance to the Touareg II.

The owners of Maximum Security – who finished first but was later disqualified from the Kentucky Derby over the weekend – continued to fight back on Thursday, saying that as they consider their legal options, they feel a fair hearing would ultimately lead to their horse being reinstated as the victor.
Maximum Security crossed the finish line first amid sloppy conditions at Churchill Downs on Saturday. However, after two jockeys filed objections, the race stewards determined that Maximum Security had impeded the paths of several horses in the race and disqualified him. Country House was then declared the winner.
Owners Gary and Mary West are adamant that video of Saturday’s race shows that Maximum Security not only won the competition but that he also “never should have been disqualified,” they

the final drive for a last minute, game-winning drive against an ABSOLUTELY MEDIOCRE, OVERRATED, Wisconsin Badger football team, in a truly tough atmosphere.
From that point forward, the expectations have had no limits, and I knew that there was going to be eventual fallout.
The seniors, especially Jake Ballard and Brian Hartline, have been outspoken in support of Todd Boeckman, and this HAS CREATED A RIFT in the Ohio State locker room. Anybody who expresses otherwise is not telling you the whole story. While the talk around the situation has been somewhat silenced in recent weeks, you can trust that it's still there and isn't going to go away until this season comes to an end.
Regardless, the Buckeyes continued to find a way to win against Purdue and shocked manywith a great performance against Michigan State on the road. But Penn State loomed...and the stage was perfectly set.
I'm sure you're familiar with the images...Pryor fumbling the football coming around the corner on a third and short. Pryor attempting a final heave toward the end zone that fell into a Penn State defender's hands for the game-ending interception. But those weren't the most important images of the game for me...
I was more so focused on a completely inconsolable 19-year-old Pryor, at the end of a long, empty, Ohio State bench with his head (still in his helmet) buried in his hands: another sign leaving me questioning whether Terrelle was ready mechanically, mentally, and emotionally for this moment.

A man died and a woman was injured in a shooting incident near a state park in Channahon Monday afternoon, police said.
The Channahon Police Department said multiple agencies were called to the scene for a report of shots fired just after 1 p.m. near the 25000 block of Fryer Street in the suburb southwest of Chicago.
Multiple 911 calls had also reported a woman was being pistol-whipped at the home not far from the Channahon State Park, authorities said.
Officers called the incident a domestic issue and said they discovered James Darden, 73, shot in the chest at the scene. Darden was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Role of Bees in Ancient Egypt
In Ancient Egypt, there existed a natural equilibrium between humans and animals. Captured within the walls of recorded history reflects a time when humans possessed the common sense to not see themselves as more powerful than the total sum of the Universe, rather as an intricate part of its enormous tapestry. In the storytelling of Ra, the keeper of the Universe, each passing generation learned that though Ra's first tears fell for the prosperity of humans, his second tears fell to create bees so that they could turn water into honey and wax. A continuous supply of Ra's water came to Earth at the end of each day, as Ra grew tired and perspired. In turn, this made more plants

At about 5:15 p.m., George prepared to leave the service station for the day. He told Anthony that defendant was to pay in cash only for the battery since his credit card was rejected. He gave Anthony $40 in cash to finish the day's business, which normally ended at 7 p.m., and took the rest of the money from the cash register with him. George left after telling defendant that Anthony would take care of his transaction. At home, George asked his mother to call Anthonyin the morning to wake him for work.

Alongside the carnage caused by the earthquake a small island of mud, stone and bubbling gas pushed forth from the seabed.
The island appeared off the coast of Gwadar, a port about 533km from Pakistan’s largest city of Karachi and 120km from Iran. The mass was about 18 metres high, 30 metres wide and 76 metres long, making it a little wider than a tennis court and slightly shorter than a football field. Such islands are not entirely unusual to scientists who study the earth and its sometimes violent movements. There are two ways such islands can be created. In the first scenario, the earth’s crust violently lifts up out of the water. In the second, the earthquake triggers the movement and release of gases locked in the earthresulting in a flow called a “mud volcano’’. Sudden islands like this can be swallowed back up by the seas, as has happened in Pakistan in the past. But there have been cases, such as following the Great Alaskan Earthquake almost 50 years ago, when new landforms like these can stay around.
In this case, local residents have been visiting the island and picking up rocks as souvenirs. But Pakistani authorities have been warning them to stay away as methane gas is leaking out of the new structure and can be set off by sparks from a cigarette. And rare as it is, this sudden island is not Pakistan’s first. Similar islands appeared off a different part of the coast of Pakistan after quakes in 1999 and 2010. Those

Since we agree with the district court's application of the law to the undisputed facts, we affirm.

In April 1971, plaintiff Harold Marsh, a resident of New York, made a trip to Missouri. He flew to Kansas City, Missouri, rented an automobile at the airport, and drove to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he remained for a time. He then returned to New York.
4
At about the time Marsh was in Missouri, defendant Ray T. Zakovich, a special agent of the United States Secret Service stationed in Kansas City, Missouri,was conducting an investigation involving the passing of counterfeit currency in Missouri. As a result of what turned out to be mistaken identification, Zakovich on April 21 swore to a complaint before a United States Commissioner in the Western District of Missouri charging Marsh with passing three counterfeit $20 notes in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 472 (1970). Defendant William A. Kitchen, an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, authorized Zakovich to file the complaint.
5
On the same day, April 21, based on Zakovich's complaint, the Commissioner issued a warrant for the arrest of Marsh.1 By this time Marsh had returned to New York; so the Secret Service office in Kansas City by teletype notified the Secret Service office in New York

The Lake District National Park and the National Trust are recruiting for Farming Officers
The Lake District National Park and the National Trust are each seeking to recruit new Farming Officers, to work with farmers and farming communities across the area.
The roles will help develop and deliver practical projects with farmers, and strengthen relationships with the farming community. The Lake District National Park post will work with farmers across the whole of the Lake District while the National Trust post will focus on working with National Trust tenants, who farm some 20 percent of the area.
Head of Strategy and Partnerships for the Lake District National Park, Liam McAleese, said:
“Farming has a vital part to play in the future of the National Park. We recognise there is a wealth ofQueen Latifah at NYCB Theatre at Westbury

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) first appeared in Guangdong Province, China, late in 2002. Its rapid transmission and high rates of mortality and morbidity resulted in a significant threat to global health by the spring of 2003, and the epidemic had a significant effect on the public health and economies of locales affected by SARS outbreaks. The rapid response of the World Health Organization is credited with containing this contagion by late June 2003, and only a few cases were reported during the winter cold season of 2003--2004. The severity of this crisis mobilized the scientific community as well: by March 24, 2003, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in Hong Kong had announced that a new coronavirus had been isolated from patientsκαι αναμορφωτής της εξαντλημένης Βυζαντινής αυτοκρατορίας αν διέθετε έστω και μερικά ηθικά κριτήρια.

Stephen showed up at the mansion of Andronikos before dawn. It was built on a grassy hill overlooking the harbor town of the Pontus called Oenaion. This is where he was exiled by his cousin, the late Basileus Manuel Komnenos. Unsure what to expect, Stephen unhorsed himself and approached on foot.
Surprised to find the gate open, he paused and looked around. Not a sound, not a one in sight. The ground of the garden was cold even as the evening sun poured its rays through the dry vines of the portico. Stephen looked closer and saw an armed guard next to the entrance, a short and stocky Paphlagonian. Stephen walked up

the Stewart automobile (by use of his white 1964 Chevrolet to which David Loyd's license plate was attached) a mile and a half west of Highway 71 with the intention of stealing the seats therefrom. He further admitted that he took the seats, battery, and spare tire from the Stewart car and then set fire to the interior and gas tank of the car. He also admitted having been chased from the scene of the arson.
Regarding his first point, defendant claims (1) that the "corpus delicti" had to be proved by the state before the extrajudicial confession made by him to Eador and Dowdy could be used against him, (2) that absent his confession the state failed to prove that the fire which burned the Stewart Mercury Cometsurface of the container along the line(s) of mold mismatch. When a closure is applied to the blow-molded finish of such a container, sealing engagement between the closure and the container surface can be less than optimum at the area of mold mismatch, reducing shelf life of the product within the container.
It is a general object of the present invention to provide a container and closure package, and a method of making such a package, in which the closure is constructed for sealing engagement with a trimmed area of the container finish, as distinguished from an external surface area of the container finish, so that mold mismatch during the container forming operation will not reduce the effectiveness of such sealing engagement, and shelf life of the package will

Particles of 133BaSO4 were deposited on the surface of rat trachea by intra-tracheal injection. Aggregates of particles were located in the trachea by autoradiography and electron microscopy. Following deposition, particles not rapidly removed by muco-ciliary clearance remained on the epithelium for some time. After 2 hr most had been ingested by macrophages on the surface, though some were still free in the mucus. By 24 hr, 74 per cent. of the aggregates remaining were beneath the epithelium in the lamina propria, and after 7 days almost all of them were in or beneath the epithelium. All the buried particles identified by EM were within macrophages. After 24 hr the particles in the tracheal wall were beneath epithelium which

The Crisis, a
journal founded by the NAACP, and The Lyric, a magazine for
traditional poetry.
The relationship between Spencer's race, her politics, and her poetry is complex.
Although a civil rights activist, she opposed school integration as "tokenism,"
and she did not address the issues of African Americans in her poetry nearly as
often as did other Harlem Renaissance artists. Johnson once declared that
"practically none of her poetry has been motivated by race," and while that was an
exaggeration, Spencer seemed more protective of her artistry than of her race. She
explained her range of subject matter to Greene, saying, "I write about some of
the things I love. But have no civilized articulation for the things I hate."
In "White Things" (1923), one of her best known exceptions to Johnson's claim,
Spencer explored "whiteness" and how itssupremacy is maintained only through the
violent destruction of all things colored. Spencer explained that she wrote the
poem in response to a lynching
she had read about—perhaps the 1918 lynching of Mary Turner in Valdosta,
Georgia—in which a pregnant woman and her unborn child were murdered. The poem
opens with the observation that "Most things are colorful things—the sky, earth,
and sea. / Black men are most men; but the white are free!"
Several lines later, the white "wand of power" has reduced the hills of "red and
darkened pine" to blanched wastelands and has turned the "blood in a ruby rose /
To a poor white poppy-flower." The poem's final verses turn from the
transformative devastation that whites inflict upon the "natural" world to the
violent "whitening" of blacks through their transmutation to ash and bone in

Iran planned the AMIA attack because Carlos Menem's administration had abruptly canceled two contracts for the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran.
But the indictment actually provides excerpts from key documents that undermine that conclusion. According to a February 10, 1992, cable from Argentina's ambassador in Iran, the director of the American Department of Iran's foreign ministry had "emphasized the need to reach a solution to the problem [of nuclear technology transfer] that would avoid damage to other contracts." Iran thus clearly signaled its hope of finding a negotiated solution that could reactivate the suspended contracts and maintain other deals with Argentina as well.
On March 17, 1992, a bomb blast destroyed the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires–an incident for which the Argentine prosecutors also held Iran responsible. The indictment,however, quotes a top official of INVAP, an Argentine nuclear firm that dominated the National Commission on Atomic Energy, as saying that during 1992 there were "contacts" between INVAP and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran "in the expectation that the decision of the national government would be revised, allowing the tasks in the contracts to be resumed." The same official confirmed that negotiations surrounding the two canceled projects continued from 1993 to 1995–before and after the AMIA explosion. Those revelations suggest that the Iranian attitude toward Argentina at the time of the bombing was exactly the opposite of the one claimed in the indictment.
The Hezbollah motive for involvement in the AMIA bombing, according to the indictment, was revenge against the Israeli bombing of a Hezbollah training camp

Summary
Poole heads out of Discovery to bring the defective AE-35 unit back aboard and examine it. He once again takes Betty outside, leaves her about twenty feet from the ship and maneuvers toward the location of the problem. Poole, needing more light, asks Hal to maneuver the lighting from the Pod. Hal performs this request but Bowman is unsettled. He notices that Hal did not, according to his normal protocol, acknowledge the request. Then, Poole notices Betty moving slowly toward him. He screams for Hal to apply full braking to Betty, but it is too late. Inside, Bowman hears Poole's final scream and frantically calls for him over the radio. He notices that Poole's spacesuit hashibernacula and begins the process of awakening his long sleeping shipmates. As they are beginning to awaken, Bowman hears the airlock doors of the ship opening.
The real purpose of the mission was known only to the three hibernating astronauts, and to Hal. The planners of the trip had decided it would be best for Poole and Bowman to be kept in the dark. This had begun to cause an internal tension for Hal and he was forced to conceal the truth from Poole and Bowman. This tension began to reveal itself in minor errors. All would have been all right had Hal not been threatened with being disconnected. To Hal, having the inputs that created his consciousness disconnected was a fate tantamount to death.

the valve seat for selectively sealingly engaging and disengaging the valve seat. The valve member may be moved axially within the fluid passage in either direction to engage the valve member with the valve seat. In other words, the valve seat may either be located above or uphole of the valve member or it may be located below or downhole of the valve member. In the preferred embodiment, the valve member moves axially within the fluid passage in the first direction to disengage the valve seat to permit the flow of fluid in the first direction. Thus, the valve seat is located above or uphole of the valve member such that movement of the valve member in the first direction towards the lower end of the fluid passagein the first direction passes from the lower end of the housing into the biasing chamber.
The lower end of the housing and the biasing chamber may be permanently connected, attached or affixed together, such as by welding or gluing. However, in the preferred embodiment, the lower end of the housing and the biasing chamber are detachably connected, attached or affixed together by a threaded connection between adjacent ends to facilitate the manufacture and maintenance of the valve.
Further, the biasing chamber has a chamber wall, wherein the chamber wall defines at least one port extending therethrough such that the flow of fluid through the port is permitted. As a result fluid flowing in the first direction into the biasing chamber may exit the biasing chamber through the port or

Emotionally
• Relief that it's finally over.
• Excitement, depression, or both (see pages , 62–63).
• Worry about how she'll perform as a mother, and whether she'll be able to breastfeed. But as her confidence builds over the next few weeks, those worries should disappear.
• A deep need to get to know the baby.
• Impatience at her lack of mobility.
• Decreased sex drive, assuming she had any left before the baby came.

Hardy says this is a very special song because "(rapper-actor) Snoop Dogg and Pharrell wanted the beat, but the producer owed Yolanda a favor, and so she got it."
Screenings of "The Gospel" were held in key cities across the United States for taste-makers, who commented on the movie's impact on them. Les Brown, popular motivational speaker, said, "I thought it was an awesome film," while Ebony Magazine's Shirley Henderson commented, "I thought the movie had a good storyline, and it was good to see actors like Clifton Powell play a positive, major role. I think Boris Kodjoe's character was well-developed."

The laser beam is projected against the calibration pattern and measurements are recorded of the deviation of the laser beam relative to the calibration pattern.
It is generally desirable to calibrate the positional accuracy of the laser projector at various locations within a work zone containing the assembly jig. For example, it is generally desirable to calibrate the positional accuracy of a laser projector at opposite sides and at upper and lower sides of the assembly jig. It is also generally desirable to account for changes in the location and/or the size of the calibration pattern within the work zone due to changes in temperature which may cause the calibration

ON LIBERTY. This reductionism remains instinctive to the Enlightenment-inspired rationalism of the contemporary academy. It has dominated Anglo-American jurisprudence from the time of Jeremy Bentham down to Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls, and the authors of Roe v. Wade in our own day: by a more or less innocent irony, it is lately denominated "historical consciousness."
But Augustine knew better: for him and the tradition he began, authority is the antithesis of power, for its exercise is responsible: it is the responsible affirmation and support of the immunity of human freedom and dignity to the mere exercise of coercive force. The apostolic authority is exercised in persona Christi; thus it is exercised responsibly — the responsibility is to the Church, the Bride of the risen Christ, for it is aresponsibility for the Church's historical worship, whose center and ground is the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Therefore the apostolic authority, and its historical tradition, are radically Eucharistic, radically liturgical. As we learn from Paul (I Cor 11:23-26) the source of that authority, of that tradition, is not an apostolic "enactment," but the Mission of the Son by the Father to give the Spirit, a Mission whose terminus is the institution on the Cross of the New Covenant in His blood, and the proleptic institution at the Last Supper of the Eucharistic Sacrifice which is offered daily by an apostolic authority whose historical objectivity does not wait upon historical research, but is the subject of the Eucharistic anamnesis, the memorial by which the Church is caused to be, and to be historicalu.

The creation of a 12-member Syria Study Group was tucked inside an unrelated bill Trump just signed into law, the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration. The legislation allows Republicans and Democrats to appoint experts to the panel, which is mandated to hand a final report to Congress in six months.
The review panel, championed by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., comes as the U.S. military works to eliminate remaining Islamic State forces in Syria after four years of war and the Trump administration pushes a new policy aimed at keeping a presence there until Iran leaves.

the overlooked nerd—she had been the sarcastic bully, throwing zingers at women she envied (an insight Tina Fey has regularly expressed about herself). When her old boyfriend Floyd came back to town, he got drunk and blurted out the truth about why he prefers his young aerobics-instructor fiancée: “She’s alive! Like a deer who runs and sniffs and jumps and stares. Not like the badger, with her glasses and her rules about weekday sex.”
All that stuff was true about Liz, and I thought it was great when, last season, in the “Reaganing” episode, Liz finally confronted her own anxieties about sex, a hallmark of the character from the beginning. (The episode featured a montage of every prudish remark Liz has made.) In the midst of a massive runit, above all for the people. For the best part of two decades, she has absorbed everything a global city can throw at her – from the mundane intensity of rush hour to the seismic shock of the 7/7 attacks, when, as station supervisor at Aldgate, it fell to her to call for ambulances after the bomb went off. Through it all, she says, she has remained an optimist, and perhaps she has a better sense of perspective than most. Last month, as she stood on the concourse with all those good ideas up her sleeve and watched the trial unfold, she was a little unprepared for the intensity of the reaction, let alone for the interest of newspapers such as Denmark’s Politiken or the Washington Post.

Des Moines — Elizabeth Warren may technically be in the "exploratory" phase of a presidential campaign, but her message during her first solo swing through Iowa was clear: "I'm in this fight."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., greets potential voters during a campaign stop at McCoy's Bar Patio and Grill on January 4, 2019 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Getty
Throughout five campaign stops across the state, which hosts the nation's first caucuses in 2020, Warren heavily played up her biography as the Oklahoma-born daughter of a janitor who found her life's work in consumer protection and Wall Street accountability. One of the first top-tier contenders to enter what figures to be one of the most crowded fields for Democrats in some time, Warren is aiming to lay down her marker aswrong."
"It reminds us of when we were growing up," said Ed Slattery, a retiree from Des Moines. "It's the Democratic Party getting back to its roots," said his wife Mary, a librarian. Both said they supported Bernie Sanders in the last presidential primary, and voted for Clinton in the general election. Like many of the voters who came to see Warren, the Slatterys were just starting to take a look at the Democratic field and had a ways to go before making decisions about any potential candidates.
"She's true to her word," a Council Bluffs resident named John (who declined to give his last name) told CBS after Warren's event there. He's most concerned about the cost of his prescription medication, which he has to pay nearly $300 for

The Palestinian Authority, the U.S.-backed, aid-dependent entity that rules the West Bank, pays salaries to terrorists and their families. Congress is currently considering legislation to prevent American tax dollars from being used in this way to incentivize Palestinian terrorism against Israel.
Major media outlets, however, are glossing over both the legislation and the problem it was created to solve.
The proposed law is named after a murdered U.S. veteran. On March 9, 2016, a former U.S. Army officer named Taylor Force was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist in Israel. Force, 28, had survived deployments in war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan, only to be murdered while part of a tour group for Vanderbilt University, where he was an MBA student studying global entrepreneurship. Ten other people were stabbedAlthough Patterson's medical records indicate he has suffered from and been treated for both severe headaches and depression, the record contains no determination, by medical personnel, the plan administrator, or the district court, as to whether Patterson's disability was caused in whole or in part by headaches, by depression, or by a combination of the two.
13
We remand to the district court with instructions to remand to the plan administrator for a factual determination, based on the medical evidence in the record, as to the cause of Patterson's total disability. If Patterson's disability was caused solely by his depression, and his headaches are neither a cause nor a symptom of the depression, then his condition is subject to the two-year limitation by any possible meaning of the Plan's

Introduction
============
The extensor digitorum brevis muscle (EDB) arises from the distal part of the superolateral surface of the calcaneus. It runs distally across the dorsum of the foot and finally divides into four slips. Usually, the medial part of the muscle ends in a distinct slip that runs distally superficial to the dorsalis pedis artery to insert onto the base of the proximal phalanx of the great toe. This slip is often termed the extensor hallucis brevis (EHB). The other slips attach to the lateral sides of the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus for the second, third, and fourth toes. EDB receives nerve supply from the lateral terminal branch of the deep peroneal nerve. Functionally, EDB is dispensable, as the toes can be extended by the long extensorsurgeries of the lower limb have created a need for a detailed understanding of anatomical variations and morphometry of the EDB muscle. The present study aimed to analyze the morphometry of the EDB muscles and tendons.
Materials and Methods
=====================
A total of 44 formalin-embalmed cadavers aged 50 to 60 years were examined. None of the cadavers had a history of malformations of the foot. The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Melaka Manipal Medical College, Manipal University, India. The dorsums of 44 feet of both lateralities (right and left) were neatly dissected, and the proximal and distal attachments of the EDB muscles were carefully analyzed. Anatomical variations in the number of distal slips of the EDBs were recorded and photographed. The length of the muscle (ML) was measured

Belarus is going to place obligations in Roubles on the stock exchange MICEX. However the credits, which were raised before presidential campaign, have to be repaid. With money or by implementing the will of creditors.
About plans of Belarus to place sovereign obligations in Roubles on the stock exchange MICEX reported on the 8th of September on the EBRD conference member of board of Sberbank (Savings bank) of Russia Andrey Golikov. It would be the first emission of obligations in Roubles by foreign issuer in Russia, RIA Novosti reports. As to Golikov, the program of Belarusian holdings is registered in amount of 15 billion Roubles, but the republic could issue the smaller amount depending on the market situation.
In theintervening act of plaintiff Ingram, was one of contributory negligence that was the proximate cause of his and Kirk's injuries and should bar any recovery. The State contends its instruction is a correct statement of the law as pronounced in the cases cited.
The cases cited envision a negligent act of a party that has the potential of being a proximate cause of injury. However, that negligence is cut off by an intervening negligent act of another, either the act of a third party or the contributory negligence of the injured party. The second negligent act thus becomes the proximate cause of the injury. The tendered instruction makes no mention of the necessity of the intervening act of another which turns the potentially injurious prior act into a mere

OTTAWA -- Internal government documents show that federal officials moved quickly before the fall election campaign to dole out $50 million aimed at transforming the delivery of social services.
The idea was to push money to national groups with a track record of success, and then raise awareness about the money itself with smaller groups the transformation effort is supposed to help.
A March briefing note to the minister in charge of the file said that officials would “strategically select projects” to fund “given the tight timelines” for announcements to start in June.
The approach would be faster than launching an open call for proposals, officials at Employment and Social Development Canada wrote in the document obtained by The Canadian Press through the Access to Information Act.
The money is part ofNEW DELHI: Those who saw him in the observation home for boys at Majnu ka Tila days after the Nirbhaya gang rape recall he didn't show any sign of shock, anxiety or guilt. Just a stony, defiant silence. Some read in it the hardening that results from a childhood shaped by poverty, a dysfunctional family, and child labour. But mental health experts noticed behavioural signs that would require attention.
Three years on and just a day before his scheduled release , nobody's quite sure of the persona behind his wall of reserve. The 17-year-old juvenile-youngest in the group of six that brutalised Nirbhaya-is now a youth of 20, and those who have seen him mature say he must be monitored closely through an after-care plan incorporating psycho-social components.

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on February 6, 2018 in New York City.
While most of the stock market is in turbulence amid the trade chaos, Goldman Sachs has a portfolio that's crushing the market, returning more than 16% year to date.
Many of the bank's portfolios created exclusively for its clients are underperforming during heightened market uncertainties, including one tracking hedge funds' top holdings and one with large-cap mutual funds overweights, but the stocks that overlap those two baskets have delivered a stellar performance this year.
"The underperformance of popular positions today following President [Donald] Trump's announcement of tariffs on imports from Mexico underscores investor concern about crowded positions," Goldman's chief U.S. equity strategist, David Kostin, said in the note. "The 'wisdom ofthe crowds' can be a positive signal for subsequent stock returns."
The overlapping stocks are 12 companies most popular with both hedge funds and mutual funds. They include Adobe, Citigroup, Google parent Alphabet, PayPal, UnitedHealth, Mastercard, ServiceNow and Visa, Goldman said. They have outperformed the S&P 500 by 6.1 percentage points so far in 2019.
While a few stocks on Goldman's list are weighed down by the escalated trade tensions, Visa, UnitedHealth, PayPal and Mastercard all held up well in May.
The S&P 500, which has returned about 10% year to date, lost more than 6% in May alone, amid the tit-for-tat threats in the ongoing U.S.-China trade war. The sell-off deepened after the U.S. announced last week a 5% surprise tariff on all Mexican imports.

A new tubificid oligochaete, Krenedrilus towadensis, is described from deep bottoms of the oligotrophic caldera Lake Towada in northern Japan. It resembles K. realis Martínez-Ansemil and Collado, 1996, in the combination of somatic setae, but it is different from all other congeners by the lack of spermathecal setae and epidermal papillae in X, in the structures of penial and supernumerary setae, and in the location of spermathecal pores. The definition of Krenedrilus is revised.

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) has issued a report in response to botched medical care that left two babies blind, charging that the infants’ human rights were violated due to negligence.
In the document — which contains recommendations directed to the general manager of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) — the CNDH said the first case occurred in the Zone 8 General Hospital in Uruapan, Michoacán.
The report charged that doctors failed to make a timely diagnosis that the baby was suffering from retinopathy and that the consequent absence of treatment meant that the condition worsened, resulting in a permanent loss of sight.
The baby was born prematurely after 31 weeks’ gestation and was diagnosed with infant respiratory distress syndrome and also showed clinical signs of early-stage sepsis.
Despite that,for the world's plastic for the longest time. In the 1990s, China saw discarded plastic as profitable, and the Chinese recreated the plastic into smaller, exportable bits and pieces. It was also cheaper for countries to export their plastic to China than discard it themselves. In November 2017, China stopped accepting contaminated plastic. This rejected plastic becomes absorbed by neighbouring countries like Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and South Korea. Now, Southeast Asian countries are starting to reject this waste as well. In August 2018, Vietnam introduced strict restrictions on plastic scrap imports. Thailand followed suit, announcing a ban on electronic parts. In October 2018, Malaysia also announced a ban on imports of plastic scraps.
In early January 2019, the Philippines rejected 1,200 tons of South Korean waste deemed non-recyclable.

the light beam's wavevector in the plane of the sensor surface matches a wavevector of a surface plasmon in the thin film, resulting in very efficient energy transfer and excitation of the surface plasmon in the thin film. As a result, at the resonance angle the amount of reflected light from the surface of the sensor changes. Typically, an anomaly, such as a sharp attenuation or amplification, is exhibited by the reflected light and the resonance angle of an SPR sensor can be readily detected. When the targeted substance attaches to the surface of the sensor, a shift in the resonance angle occurs due to the change in the refractive index at the surface of the sensor. A quantitative measure of the concentration of the targeted substance canRelationships

The Golem has remained free from accusations of anti-Catholicism over the last 80 years.
RABBI JUDAH LOEW (A.K.A. THE MAHARAL)
The central character of The Golem is based on Judah Bezalel Loew (born ca. 1525), who was Chief Rabbi of Moravia for twenty years before he relocated his family to Prague in 1573. There he became head of the academy at Klaus Synagogue and published many books on spiritual law. He became known throughout Central Europe as a leading Jewish scholar and as one of the greatest teachers of his age.
He was not made Chief Rabbi of Prague until the late 1590s, perhaps because of his somewhat controversial interest in Kabbalah. Loew was fascinated with the Zohar, the central work of Jewish mysticism, and he introduced many Kabbalistic ideas intohis sermons and writing. He served as Chief Rabbi of Prague until his death in 1609.
It's likely that this connection with Kabbalah made Rabbi Loew the leading character in the legends that arose around the creation of the Golem. A hundred years after the Rabbi's death, Kabbalah emerged as a distinct movement within Judaism in medieval Europe. It was at this time, approximately 1730, that Rabbi Loew started becoming a truly mythic figure, and the legend of his creation of a figure made of clay was born. He began to be referred to as The Maharal: an acronym for the Hebrew Moreinu Ha-Rav Rabbi Liva, meaning "Our teacher, the Master Rabbi Loew." The Maharal has since become one of the most prominent figures of Jewish lore, appearing in

The supersize youngsters put Wolverhampton near the top of the national ‘fat league’. Similar figures have been reported across the Black Country.
And when the children are ready to leave primary school, around a quarter of them are obese.
The figures have been condemned by health bosses. In Wolverhampton 12.7 per cent on reception school pupils are obese, one of the worst in the country behind a handful of London boroughs and northern areas including Liverpool.
The national average is just over nine per cent, but all of the Black Country areas are above it.
The 2012/13 data shows that 11.5 per cent of Walsall’s four and five year olds are obese, with the number dropping slightly in Dudley to 11.2 per cent and 10.9 per cent in Sandwell.

A sealing ring radially sealing about a relatively-rotating member is described in German Pat. No. 31 50 472. It consists of a casing holding a circular, polymeric sealing ring which flares toward the rotating member in the direction of the medium to be sealed in. One side of the flaring ring slidingly engages the relatively-rotating member to form a sealing surface. The adjacent end of the ring is edged with torsion ribs defined on the side facing the relatively-rotating member by an inner surface which forms a regular (smooth) prolongation of the sealing surface.

The accident out of which arose the plaintiff's personal injuries occurred on November 5, 1959 at the New Castle Avenue crossing of the Railroad's track in the City of Wilmington. The crossing in question is protected by a system of flashing lights and a warning bell set in operation by the approach of a train. At the time of the accident the plaintiff's evidence was to the effect that neither the warning bell nor the flashing lights were working when he tried to drive his truck across the tracks.
The plaintiff was thoroughly familiar with the crossing in question, and ordinarily used it three to five times a day. He testified that he never had had occasionto observe a train passing across New Castle Avenue when the flasher lights and warning bell were not working.
The plaintiff was proceeding south in his truck on the day in question. The Railroad's evidence is that in approaching the crossing from this direction, it is possible to see approximately 150 feet down the track to the right from the point where plaintiff testified he looked. On the other hand, the plaintiff testified that a loading platform and warehouse obstruct the view in this direction. A view of the scene of the accident in the course of the trial was had by the jury.
The plaintiff testified that as he approached the crossing, he looked to the right or west at a distance of approximately 40 or 50 yards from

As part of the new measures aimed at delaying the peak of the outbreak until the summer, people experiencing symptoms are being urged to stay at home for seven days, but not to call their GP or NHS 24 unless their condition deteriorates.
Those who have been in contact with someone who is experiencing symptoms should only stay at home if they also begin to experience symptoms.

These arms are very suitable for fast motion and entering constricted areas, and so have enjoyed high popularity. However, for precision assembly work they often prove to be inadequate due to excessive backlash and compliance as measured at the end of the robot arm. Also affected by the robots' lack of rigidity are machining operations performed by tools mounted to the ends of the robot arms.
In assembly work, an end effector mounted on the end of the arm is expected to pick up a part, place it precisely, and hold the part without movement while the part is fastened. The fastening process invariably produces forces on

The Mumbai auto rickshaw union on Wednesday called for a state-wide strike to press for their demands of banning the entry of mobile application-based cabs such as Uber, Ola and Meru Plus into the city.
The Mumbai Autorickshawmen Union, led by Shashank Rao, is the largest auto union in the city which has called the strike.
On Monday, taxi drivers in the city staged a day-long strike regarding the same issue. The auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers supporting the strike are attached with 'Swabhiman Union'.
Earlier, the Swabhiman Union had dashed off a letter to Maharashtra transport commissioner with a copy to state transport minister Diwakar Raote and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on June 9, demanding to ban the entry of mobile application driven cabs such as Uber, Ola, Meru Pluswritten, it is believed, by Anderson as a reply to Pritchard about the same time.

The presidents' guide to science
In just a matter of weeks, the title "most powerful person on Earth" will change hands.
Whether it is Barack Obama or John McCain who makes it to the White House, the decisions the president of the United States makes can influence the future of humanity for decades.
Science and technology in large part provide the president's immense power - whether to choose to prosecute a war, save millions from disease or launch a mission to Mars.
But like most US presidents - and indeed heads of government around the world - neither candidate has a science education. Mr McCain went to naval academy, while Mr Obama graduated in political science before training as a lawyer.

As everyone knows, the supreme court ruled six–three for Al Gore in the great dispute over the Florida recount in 2000. As everyone also knows, Gore emerged as the ultimate victor in that recount, and with his poetic and moving inauguration address he managed to unify a badly divided nation. For a long period, the Gore years continued the peace and prosperity established under President Clinton, punctuated by the successful prevention of an apparent terrorist plot in 2001, by the enactment of health care reform in 2003 (mocked by critics as GoreCare), and by aggressive steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, culminating in the historic Copenhagen Protocol, ratified by the U.S. Senate in 2005.

Soon after, defendant moved in the Family Part for relief from the September 30, 2005 order, arguing, among other things, that the Family Part was without jurisdiction either to determine the amount of arrears owed or to impose a particular payment schedule because, in his view, the federal court had "continuing jurisdiction" over the matter.

I was eighteen. I had very little money and I rented a room from James in his apartment, and he basically became just a good friend. When I had my first bit of commercial success with Stiltskin it was about seven years later, and James was genuinely delighted for me - there was never any resentment or jealousy. He was just one of these guys that was genuinely happy about everything when it went well; he had loads of energy, and was always chatting up the women.
His life took a dramatic turn, didn’t it?He went on holiday with his friends in the south of Spain, and they had a trampoline beside the swimming pool, and they were jumping in off it, a bit drunk, a few beers, andhe missed the pool and broke his neck. It completely destroyed, and obviously changed his life. He was totally paralysed, and he lived with it for about three years, and then last year he took his own life; he’d had enough. He had an electric wheelchair, and he actually went back to the fishing village where he was born with his helper. He asked her to go and get a jumper from the car, and when she went there, he drove his wheelchair off the harbour wall. It actually didn’t kill him, but it put him back into a coma, and he died soon after that. That was how he took his life, and a totally rock ‘n’ roll way to do it. It’s what I can imagine

The Russian government has denied a British newspaper report that a senior diplomat now serving in the United Kingdom was once a Soviet spy and was expelled from the United States in the 1980s.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also requested an official apology from The Mail on Sunday.
The report in the Sunday issue suggested that Alexander Yakovenko, Russia's current ambassador to the UK, was once expelled from the US during a "famous purge of agents at the height of the Cold War" in the 1980s.
"We have noted Mail on Sunday piece on Ambassador Yakovenko. As was made clear to your correspondent yesterday, we would have been prepared to comment on statements regarding the ambassador personally if we had an opportunity to look at the article in advance," the Russianministry said in a letter on Sunday.
"The information that Mr Yakovenko, when working at the USSR Mission in New York, was expelled for spying, is not true. Mr Yakovenko worked at the mission from 1981 and 1986 and left after the standard term of posting expired. The allegation on him having been expelled is a blatant lie," the ministry said.
According to the newspaper's investigation, Yakovenko, a career Russian diplomat, was one of scores of "senior intelligence officers" expelled by the Ronald Reagan's government in October 1986 as part of a wide-ranging crackdown on Russian intelligence operatives.
"We can also reveal that Mr Yakovenko was awarded a military medal 'For Merits to the Fatherland' in 1996, an accolade often given to spies, including Andrey Lugovoy, one of the two men

The oxide residues from tungsten factories, if good Zinnwald wolframite has been worked up, are more convenient to use as raw material than wolframite itself, and contain 0.30 per cent, of rare earths. One kilogram of the oxide residues is dissolved in 3 litres of raw hydrochloric acid, the powder being introduced into the boiling acid. After drawing off the deposit of silica and boiling it with dilute hydrochloric acid, the filtrates are united.
To separate the scandium, the preceding solution is boiled, and 40 grams of sodium silicofluoride are added slowly with stirring.
