the party of white anti-segregation activists such as Helen Suzman, Frederik van Syl Slabbert and Harry Swartz. In 1989 the name was changed to the Democratic Party, and in 2000 changed again to the Democratic Alliance when it merged with two smaller parties. The DA and its forerunners have always been successful in South Africa’s Western, Northern and Southern Cape regions, where “coloured” people predominate and there is a relatively small population of black Africans, who are the backbone of ANC support. The DA won control of Western Cape, one of South Africa’s nine provinces, in the 2009 general election and increased its majority in 2014. Much of the successful growth of the DA is credited to Helen Zille, who served as both national party leader and Premier of Western Capeuntil she resigned the national leadership in April – two years earlier than expected — and was replaced by Maimane. Maimane’s leadership has already done much to scotch the prejudice that the DA is the party of liberal whites. In the past, the DA got only about six per cent of its support from black voters. He has the added advantage of coming from the industrial heartland around Johannesburg, the old Transvaal province now known as Gauteng. It is here and in neighbouring KwaZulu-Natal that the DC must break through if it is to become a credible alternative government to the ANC on the national stage. Maimane ran for mayor of Johannesburg in 2009 and for premier of Gauteng in 2014. He was defeated in both contests, but gained a

The processor then signals the central station when the bus enters the geographic region of a child""s bus stop, for example, and the central station thereafter telephones the parent or guardian advising that the child is about to be dropped off. The system also identifies the child when leaving the bus to verify that all children left at their designated stops. Further implementation, in conjunction with transport of children, is to signal the central station upon each child""s entering the bus with the central station telephoning the parent or guardian to confirm that their child is on the bus or the parent accessing such information by telephoning the central station.

When travel club AAA unveiled the local honorees who snagged its highest accolade for quality service and atmosphere, the winners' list had a new entrant: Restaurant Guy Savoy inside Caesars Palace. With that addition, Las Vegas boasts five AAA Five Diamond Award-winning restaurants -- making it second in the country to Chicago, which has seven. Restaurant Guy Savoy joins Picasso and Le Cirque, both at Bellagio, which earned their eighth and sixth Five Diamond awards, respectively, plus Alex at Wynn Las Vegas, which has won four times, and Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand, three.

The Irizar PB is a coach body built by Irizar on a wide range of chassis. It was designed by Arup Design Research in the UK. Its revolutionary styling and features led to the variant with a Scania chassis being named European Coach of the Year 2004.[1] The PB body is available in 13 different combinations, each suited to particular chassis. Lengths range from 12 m to 15 m for tri-axle variants. The body is available in two heights: 3.5 m and 3.7 m. 1. Scania 4-series (bus) – The Scania 4-series low floor city bus and coach range was introduced by Scania in 1997 as a successor to the 3-series bus range. The 4-series bus range was first presented in September 1996, when the integral low-floor city bus OmniCity was revealed, productionof the chassis range started in second half of 1997, and by the end of 1998 all worldwide production facilities had changed from 3-series to 4-series. Unlike the 3-series, which was a range of 45 different chassis models, at launch there were a total of seven major configurations, presumably the F HB, K EB, K IB, L IB, L UB, N UA and N UB. These were later followed by the F HA, K UB, L IA, L UA, the first letter describing the position of the engine, and the last two letters describing areas of use. In marketing of the 4-series, Scania have generally used the engine position, the engine displacement and the series number. The 4-series was superseded in 2006 by the new Euro IV compliant

The Electronic Intifada, a Chicago based pro-Palestinian organization had obtained the complete copy of The Lobby-USA which is a four-part undercover investigation by Al Jazeera into Israel’s meddling in the United States. The documentary was made by Al Jazeera during 2016 and completed in 2017 but censored after Qatar came under pressure from the pro-Israel lobby to not air the film. Al-Jazeera previously did a similar film in the United Kingdom where one of its reporters infiltrated an Israeli lobby and revealed that an Israeli diplomat was plotting to “take down” British officials.

In 2017, this Movement, celebrated its 50th Jubilee anniversary in the Roman Catholic Church. However, Cremeens presents here the never-before heard story of that Movement among the Orthodox Churches in North America. He recounts the history of this spiritual renewal movement through the first-hand accounts

I'm glad I saw Schindler's List and Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain. Those movies aren't fun in any traditional sense. But they're both powerful and worth seeing in their own ways. The Boredom's last night wasn't a great show. Great isn't the right word. It was a POWERFUL show. My reaction to this power was strong and yet neutral. The performance was neither good, nor bad. It was simply overwhelmingly intense. Here's a clip from a 2006 live set that illustrates some of the elements of last night's performance. The drumming is a lot more palatable when played at the moderate and listener-controlled volume of computer or headphone speakers:UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Sept. 10 — Amnesty International charged today that the torture of political prisoners was continuing in Chile a year after the coup d'état that overthrew President Salvador Allende Gossens. The accusations were made in an 80‐page report published here to coincide with the first anniversary of the coup tomorrow. A Chilean spokesman here announced, meanwhile, that Orlando Letelier, former Ambassador to the United States, had been freed by the military Government, He said the 43‐year‐old Mr. Letelier, a Socialist who had been held a year in prison, had left Chile and was now in Venezuela. In a preface to the Amnesty International report, Martin Ennals, the organization's secretary general, said, “The death roll of victims is unprecedented in Latin‐America and there is little indication that the situation

I move—thank you, help me, be with, forgive—but mostly I simply (simply!) try to subject myself to the possibility of God. I address God as if. "We must believe in the real God in every way," says Simone Weil, "except that he does not exist, for we have not reached the point where he might exist." I don't take this to mean that if we achieve some state worthy of God, he will pop into being like a genie. Rather, I think Weil is suggesting that devotion to God, for modern believers, involves learning to inhabit—rather than simply trumping with dogma or literal scripture—those elements of our existence that seem inimical to his: limitedness, contingency, suffering, death. Contemporary people whose lives are marked by a searching, scorching spiritual focus—whether it'sAs you read this, Tim Ream is probably somewhere in a phone shop in the Lancashire area, choosing between international plans. Trying to reach him for comment in Manchester at the height of his drawn out $3m transfer to Bolton Wanderers, a New York Times journalist found himself quickly ushered off the phone as Ream counted the costs of international roaming. You could hardly blame him for being cost-conscious: the newly married New York Red Bulls player had postponed his honeymoon to stay in North West England, trying to push through the work permit that would take his wages of around $65K per year to the rather more smartphone-friendly £20K per week. Even allowing for Bolton's rather shaky premiership prospects and the pressure on Ream to fill the

Difference Between Cotyledon and Endosperm Main Difference – Cotyledon vs. Endosperm Cotyledon and endosperm are two parts of the seed of higher plants. During the germination of the seed, radicle is the first emerging part of the embryo, which involves in the absorption of water from the soil. The radicle develops into the root system of the future plant. Then the cotyledons, which contain the plumule, emerge. Plumule develops into shoot of the future plant, containing stem and leaves. Endosperm is a part inside the seed. The main difference between cotyledon and endosperm is that cotyledon is the embryonic leaf of the seed, which develops into first leaves of the embryonic plant and endosperm is the nutritive tissue, which stores nutrients required by the development of embryo during seedling. What isthe ovule after fertilization. The zygote develops into cotyledons. Primary endosperm nucleus forms by the fusion of a sperm cell with the central cell. It develops into the endosperm. Cotyledon is the embryonic leaf of the seed, which is capable of developing into the shoot of the plant during seedling. Endosperm contains required nutrients for the development of the embryo in the form of either starch, oil, or proteins. Monocots contain a single cotyledon in their seed and dicots contain two cotyledons. The nutrients in the endosperm of dicots is absorbed by the two cotyledons. Therefore, a tiny endosperm is found inside the dicot seed. However, the main difference between cotyledon and endosperm is in their function during seedling.

Queen), and the Morning Glory Lode Claim (the Morning Glory). The Trasks and Mi Vida each own a one-half interest in the Pickel Placer, which lies perpendicular to and overlays the Maxwell on its southeasterly 250 feet. The Trasks also own the Silver Queen, which also lies perpendicular to the Maxwell, immediately north of the Pickel Placer, and overlaps the Maxwell for the next 300 feet. Gold Hill Mines and Ashley Steen own the Morning Glory Lode (the Morning Glory), which overlays the Maxwell and the north half of the Silver Queen. Mark Steen, Ashley Steen's father, is an officer, director, and shareholder of Mi Vida and Gold Hill Mines. The Maxwell is the senior claim. The adverse claimant's predecessor in interest purchased the Maxwell in 1970 and constructeda seasonal cabin on that portion of the Maxwell which is overlapped by both the Silver Queen and the Morning Glory. During the construction of the cabin, he created a driveway, which starts on the Pickel Placer at a location known as the ore storage area, then proceeds in an arc across the Pickel Placer and the Silver Queen for approximately 310 feet to the northern boundary of the Silver Queen with land owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and then extends into the BLM land. The ore storage area is located on the Pickel Placer and is a wide area immediately adjacent to a public road that enters the area from the southwest. The public road crosses a portion of the Pickel Placer and the southern

the institutional beginning of the Imperial Japanese Navy. In February 1872, the Ministry of War was replaced by a separate Army Ministry and Navy Ministry. In October 1873, Katsu Kaishū became Navy Minister. Secondary Service (1872–1882) After the consolidation of the government the new Meiji state set about to build up national strength, the Meiji government honored the treaties with the Western powers signed during the bakumatsu period with the ultimate goal of revising them, leading to a subsided threat from the sea. This however led to conflict with disgruntled samurai who wanted to expel the westerners and groups which were opposed to the Meiji reforms, internal dissent including peasant uprisings become a greater concern for the government and as a result plans for naval expansion were curtailed. In the earlyFrance and Italy to 175,000, ratios of 5:3:1.75. Also agreed to was a ten-year moratorium on battleship construction, though replacement of battleships reaching 20 years of service was permitted. Maximum limits of 35,000 tons and 16-inch guns were also set. Carriers were restricted with the same 5:5:3 ratio, with Japan allotted 81,000 tons. Many naval leaders in Japan's delegation were outraged by these limitations, as Japan would always be behind its chief rivals. However, in the end it was concluded that even these unfavorable limitations would be better than an unrestricted arms race with the industrially dominant United States. The Washington System may have made Japan a junior partner with the US and Britain, but it also curtailed the rise of China and the Soviet Union, who both sought

The people still remember the days where there was happiness and peace in Bajaur Agency, tribal areas situated on Pak-Afghan border. Though there was no written law and security system, the peace was examplary. Women, children and young people were leading a happy life as there was respect for everyone in society. "When I remember those day I feel satisfaction," said a grand mother. Then everything has changed. Now the tribesmen and Pakhtuns have been living in state of terror and fear. At the moment it seems that the terrorists have been winning the war. Salim Shehzad, a writer while commenting on the situation in Frontier Province and tribal areas, stated that the Frontier is where our efforts at embracing a more inclusive vision of Islam must focus, but itdespite their controversial message. Yet now, the only attribute of pathans that commentators can remember is that they are “fierce warriors” who challenged even the most resolute colonials. It is high time that the valiant pathans reclaim their identity from the frightful dogma of cultural superiority and fanaticism to which they seem to have fallen prey. Peshawar University at one time was among the most prestigious in South Asia and produced some of the leading scientists and engineers of the region. The Frontier Post was considered a journalistic gem by readers across the nation. Yet all such venerable institutions are now being tested beyond their capacity. A few years ago, I had an opportunity to attend a meeting at Peshawar University to help revise the environmental curriculum for the

the Diablo 2 Necromancer experience, how did he fare on the niche side of things? Originally, Xul was an absolute monster. His scythes hit like a truck, his skeletons marched down towers, and he enjoyed one of the highest winrates the game has ever seen. Appropriately, he was roundly nerfed, again and again, until he remained a decent pick only on Tomb of the Spider Queen and Blackheart's Bay. Over time, even Tomb fell out of favor, and with the release of Gul'dan, his dual soaking top and mid strategy of Blackheart's Bay became less and less effective as there was a clear counter.How did this happen? From early on it was clear that Xul's primary strength was his trait. Almost all of Xul's power budget remained lockedin to this area of his kit. His best talents, his only real talents, all concentrated on empowering his skeletons. As a result, Xul's viability - his niche - was restricted to situations that could adequately make use of the trait. Slowly but surely, his weakness in all other respects crowded him out of all other circumstances in the game. Not only was he less than ideal in situations other than Blackheart's Bay, he was astoundingly awful.Still, some argued that Xul was fine. He had a place in the game. On Blackheart's Bay, if picked in the right draft, he not only did well, but he excelled. It didn't matter that he was essentially useless in every other conceivable situation in the game. This was enough.Perhaps clear from

$1 billion for the cleanup, the plant had to be shut down permanently with loss of revenue and jobs. However the real cost was to the nuclear industry, to the U.S., and to the world. The anti-nuclear environmentalists used this opportunity to mislead the world about the impacts of radiation on human health and an unquestioning press spread this message to the public. The nuclear industry received a black eye from which it has never recovered and has been held in disfavour ever since. No new nuclear power plants were ordered in the U.S. after the TMI incident, and many reactors on order were cancelled. The nuclear industry came to a virtual standstill (see figure 10). The year of 1979 was a perfect time to see a rapidnuclear fear in the public's imagination that the real catastrophe, the destruction and lives lost in the tsunami, faded into the background. The drama behind the meltdown was played out in a PBS Frontline documentary[45], a gripping drama which had nuclear plant workers and many outside workers put their lives on the line to save the situation. The documentary is probably a fair representation of the fear and anxiety of the situation at the moment it took place, and the apprehension that things could go very wrong and spread devastation nation wide if not world wide. However it lacks perspective. It did not at the end present the true significance of Fukushima as a "disaster" in the large scheme of things. Even though it seemed like it at

I look forward to an end to all that.” In his book When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture, Paul Boyer argues that a belief that the end of the world is inevitable—held by a large number of Americans and American policymakers—profoundly shaped American foreign policy at the end of the Cold War. If the end of the world was inevitable (it was God’s will), what was the point of trying to sign new nonproliferation treaties? Similarly, Melani McAlister argues in Epic Encounters: Culture, Media, and U.S. Interests in the Middle East since 1945 (2001, 2005) that Lindsey’s book politicized white evangelicals. Although they had largely eschewed worldly politics to attend to personal sin and salvation in the wake of the Scopes trial inthe 1920s, evangelicals were admonished by Lindsey that understanding the Bible required their engagement with contemporary Middle East politics. While texts like The Late Great Planet Earth had implications for nuclear nonproliferation and foreign policy, they also had an impact on miserable kids who desperately wanted out of their suffocating high school worlds, young men whose countercultural girlfriends were into both Jesus and New Age stuff, and people who wanted to fit into church youth groups where The Late Great Planet Earth had replaced the Bible. However diverse their responses, ordinary readers did not seem to care much about theological correctness or historical accuracy or aesthetic beauty, issues of great importance to scholarly readers. Like the debates over other popular religious books, the controversy over The Late Great Planet Earth

The first most impressive symbol in Le Morte d'Arthur by Malory may be the sword Excalibur. In the story, whoever wields the sword is the recognized King of England. Because of its importance, the sword symbolizes power. (It is also said to symbolize the responsibility that comes with power, and may allude to Arthur's eventual fall, when he loses sight of his responsibility as King.) The Round Table is also symbolic of equality. Because it is round, no one sits at the "head" of the table, and therefore, no one is more important that his neighbor. The Round Table was first mentioned...in 1155 and in that account was made round so that all the knights seated around it would have the same stature... Christian themes are strongly present in the story.Christ is alluded to when the young maiden walks across the water of the lake to retrieve Excalibur for Arthur in one version of how Arthur becomes king. Here we see the commingling of Christian and pagan motifs, the Christ-like walking on water with the fairy quality of Excalibur and the mythic making of a King. This is a direct parallel to Christ's miracle of walking on the water, as recounted in the Bible in the books of Matthew, Mark and John. This act by the maiden may symbolize God's desire that Arthur be King. (The English believed that whoever was King or Queen was ordained to be such by God. Anyone killing a king was believed to have committed a mortal sin, as is seen with the ill-fated Macbeth

The distance a golf ball travels when struck by a golf club is determined in large part by club head speed at the point of impact with the golf ball. Club head speed in turn can be affected by the wind resistance or drag provided by the club head, especially given the large club head size of a driver. The club head of a driver, fairway wood, or metal wood in particular produces significant aerodynamic drag during its swing path. The drag produced by the club head leads to reduced club head speed and, therefore, reduced distance of travel of the golf ball after it has been struck. Reducing the drag of the club head not only at the point of impact, but also during the swing up untilmonsoon seasons Nagaland has had.

In six—now going on seven—years after all, the Pacman managed to join and leave five parties, win elections twice as a congressman and once (so far) as a senator, establish a political dynasty (his brother, Pedro Pacquiao, now holds his old congressional seat), all without really having to do much of anything except be his happy self. In 2015, for example, his record for absenteeism surpassed even that of the chronically absent Jules Ledesma—which only goes to show that whether old money or new, provincial barons can end up very much the same: as carefree as a bird.

these places are being settled by the Slovenes, who also build fortreses and rebuild "gradine". There's a very interesting fortress on Gradac in Dobroselica, where we can see the remnants of a bulwark.There are some remnants of a stone pedestal in the shape of a bench that was probably used for observing. There are also some animal bones found built in the base (probably for religious reasons) and there is a lot of medieval material found on this location (a top of a spear, a knife, a copper ring...).About the year 118O Stevan Nemanja connects Zlatibor and Užice to the independant Serbian state.In the 16th century The unpreserved monastery Rujno was the cultural and educational centre of the former district (župa) Rujno. In that monastery one of thefirst Serbian printing shops worked. Recently the position of the former monastery Uvac (and maybe also of the Church Janja - being sung about in folk songs) has been discovered in Stublo on the river Uvac. According to traditional stories the monastery was that "Church Janja", which was the richest far around. The monastery possesed beautiful and good pastures above the valley on Orlic and Orahovica. Milk from there was transported to monastery by boats. The canals in which the boats were placed can still be identified.

Definition of praying mantis The "Praying Mantis" is truly a most remarkable creature with a striking appearance and curious habits. They do not bite humans, damage household furnishings, nor spread disease. However, when handled, their spiny-like forelegs can be readily felt as a "sharp pinch." Mantids are most commonly seen in late September and early October either resting on a plant or "fluttering" through the air, sometimes mistaken for a hummingbird. Some appear to resemble leaves or flowers in shape and color. The common name comes from the manner in which they hold up the forepart of the body, with its enormous front legs, as though in an attitude of prayer. They might also be called "preying mantes" for they are carnivorous, eating other insects. The body is elongate with2. Quality of Life Olathe citizens have indicated that a high quality of life is one of the most important considerations in future planning, as well as one of Olathe’s greatest existing assets. In addition to the traditional factors that draw people to communities, such as jobs and housing, community leaders recognize quality of life as increasingly important. This is evident in local community planning efforts across the country, as well as in national surveys like Money magazine’s Best Places to Live annual rankings and the Best Places Almanac, where Olathe has received high marks. The concept is that people relocate and settle in places that are appealing on various levels, providing a balance of economic stability, recreation opportunities, healthy surroundings, cultural experiences, and educational foundation.

Driven NHS worker wins RoSPA’s Archangel Award Wednesday, September 21, 2016 An NHS worker who is committed to promoting home safety and the prevention of unintentional injury through her work has been handed RoSPA’s prestigious Archangel Award. Lesley Nish, a health improvement senior in the child and maternal health team at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, was handed the accolade at the Scottish leg of the 60th RoSPA Health and Safety Awards at the Hilton Glasgow on September 15. In the UK around 2.7 million people are treated for home accidents at hospital each year, with deaths numbering in excess of 4,000. Lesley has shown exceptional drive to make sure home safety is on her regional agenda at every opportunity. She facilitates the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Unintentional Injuries Steering Group –the like of which exists nowhere else in any of the other health boards in Scotland. Lesley is also integral to the Not For Play, Put Them Away project, which aims to prevent liquid laundry capsule injuries to young people in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area. Engaging leading brand manufacturers and the public alike, the campaign has been so successful that it was recently Highly Commended in the Prevention Team of the Year category at the BMJ Awards in London. Lesley Nish said: “It was such a pleasure to receive the award and so nice to be invited to attend the Health and Safety awards evening in Glasgow. Hearing about the work that we do in NHSGGC reminded me why we develop preventative programmes and work so hard with

The latest issue of the House Magazine (not online) features an interesting little snippet: the ex-MP formerly known as Douglas Hogg could be returning to Parliament through an unconventional route. When his father, Viscount Hailsham, died in 2001, he inherited the title, but did not style himself as such whilst he remained in the Commons until his retirement as MP for Sleaford and North Hykeham at last year's general election. Prior to Tony Blair's 1999 House of Lords Act, he would of course have had to resign from the Commons in order to take up his seat in the Lords on his father's death, but after the cull of most of the hereditary peers, he no longer had to do so (and neither did Michael Ancram, when his father, thePaintings by Steve Connell Aragon The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood is steeped in history.

Trump Tower in New York City on the Democrat paid-for Fusion GPS-Christopher Steele dossier that alleged the incoming President was a Russian agent who had helped Russia hack the DNC and put the emails onto Wikileaks. That was when they crossed the Rubicon. They were declaring war on Trump. It was that meeting that enabled and gave CNN an excuse to report on the dossier’s charges, and then Buzzfeed to publish them on Jan. 11, 2017. In short, the intelligence agencies — knowing full well that the FBI had already undertaken a massive counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign months earlier — were determined to knee-cap the President on his way into office. It was a hit job. There was almost no other good reason to publish the following findings: “We assessProanthocyanidin Proanthocyanidins are a class of polyphenols found in a variety of plants. Chemically, they are oligomeric flavonoids. Many are oligomers of catechin and epicatechin and their gallic acid esters. More complex polyphenols, having the same polymeric building block, form the group of tannins. Proanthocyanidins were discovered in 1947 by Jacques Masquelier, who developed and patented techniques for the extraction of oligomeric proanthocyanidins from pine bark and grape seeds. Often associated with consumer products made from cranberries, grape seeds or red wine, proanthocyanidins were once proposed as factors inhibiting urinary tract infections in women, but this research has been refuted by expert scientific committees. Distribution in plants Proanthocyanidins, including the lesser bioactive and bioavailable polymers (four or more catechins) represent a group of condensed flavan-3-ols, such as procyanidins, prodelphinidins and

Alarmed by the deaths, biologist David Wiley asked the federal government and the International Maritime Organization, a U.N. agency, to consider moving the shipping lanes out of the busiest section of an area that also attracts about a million whale watchers a year. “The data were compelling and people moved pretty quickly on this,” said Wiley, research coordinator at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The new lanes reduce the chance of whales being hit by vessels by up to 80 percent, he said.

The Economic Benefits of a Space Industry Space has intrigued mankind forever, and in the 20th century the USA and the USSR became caught up in a race to see who could conquer it first. On October 4, 1957, the USSR launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, and by April 12, 1961 the Russian Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. The space race then peaked on July 20, 1969, with the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, and by 1972 a total of 12 men had walked upon its surface. Our desire to understand the universe and discover the unknown has been reason enough to continue to develop advanced spacecraft and vessels that can go further and further into space, but is there a chancePasteurella multocida infection in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Three flocks of Japanese quail, approximately 75,000 birds each, experienced acute high mortality beginning at 24 to 28 days of age. Gross lesions were absent or were composed of either multifocal small pale areas on livers and spleens or lungs slightly darker in color than normal. Histopathology revealed multifocal splenic and hepatic necrosis and interstitial pneumonia. Pasteurella multocida, serotype 3,4, was isolated from affected tissues. The quail were successfully treated with chlortetracycline, and the organism was apparently eliminated from the premises by thorough cleaning, disinfection, and insect and rodent control. Experimental studies showed Japanese quail to be highly susceptible to disease caused by the P. multocida isolated from the affected flocks.

Trump who chose never to punch back. Despite Trump's unyielding vitriol directed toward Sessions for recusing himself from what became the Mueller investigation, he still backs the president and that's why he said he deserves your vote in the March 3 GOP primary. "I understand the disagreement he's had," Sessions said. "People wanted me to criticize him and fight back and say bad things but I wanted him to succeed. He was fighting for the values I believed in. I asked people in Alabama and throughout the nation to support him, the first senator to do so. I want him to be successful." That's probably a spoiler alert to Sessions' opinion of the impeachment inquiry Trump is facing in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. "This is a fake impeachment, really," Sessions said.who I am." Mooney also delivered one of the big applause lines Saturday. "You know, the bottom line on all this is simple. We need to give Doug Jones a new ZIP code," Mooney said, followed by cheers from his audience. "Maybe we need to give him a new ZIP code outside the United States. He doesn't represent what we stand for." Moore's speech focused on topics familiar to his campaigns – going back to a "moral basis" across America and adhering more closely to the U.S. Constitution. Roy Moore talked with the audience Nov. 16, 2019, before speaking at the Republican Men's Club in Huntsville. The GOP nominee in the 2017 special election won by Jones, Moore said that election was “basically stolen by false allegations.” And he criticized Sen. Richard Shelby

The steady decline in NFL television ratings has been the biggest story of the football season, and arguably the biggest sports-business story of 2016. It’s clear that interest in watching primetime NFL games has waned, but what remains unclear are the exact causes, and which causes have had the largest impact. New reports suggest that one factor dismissed by many has in fact had a definite impact: player protests during the national anthem, led by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The election wasn’t the only problem Four weeks into the season, the NFL blamed the ratings dip on the “attention around our presidential election, which is unprecedented.” That explanation looked sound after Week 10, when ratings for the first Sunday Night Football game after the election finally rose 13% comparedto the year before. The matchup of the New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks got the best rating for a Week 10 Sunday night game since 2011. But the trend did not reverse for good, and the NFL’s ratings crisis is anything but over. Week 11 was a mixed bag, with Thursday night and Sunday night up over the year before, but Monday night down. Week 12 was worse, with both Thursday and Sunday down, and only Monday up. Ratings fell precipitously in Week 13, which just wrapped up on Monday. Sunday Night Football declined and Monday Night Football majorly declined. Only Thursday’s game, between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings, saw a ratings increase over the same game the year before. Prior to the election, the average number of games watched

the insured automobile." He also found that the policy definition of "occupying" shows intent of the insurer to provide uninsured motorists protection to a passenger when the automobile was parked and the passenger outside of it; that the insurer had not required that the passenger be touching the insured automobile in order to be considered as entering it, because the word "upon" in the definition of "occupying" covers actual contact; and that "entering" refers to a time, location, and conduct antecedent to physical contact with the insured automobile. The last finding of fact states: "Since Joyce was undergoing a necessary and integral part of a process of getting back within the insured automobile and was subjected to a hazard reasonably incident to that process, and reasonably within the contemplation ofthe parties, she filled, substantially, all of the requirements for coverage and she was `entering' the insured automobile within the meaning of Coverage F when she was struck." The trial judge concluded that Joyce was "occupying" the automobile of plaintiff, as the term is defined in Coverage F, when she was struck. *192 In a memorandum accompanying the order, the trial judge took the position that our decisions defining the language in motor vehicle insurance policies "have read the policies not literally nor simply with aid of a dictionary, but practically, and for a meaning that is sensible to the purpose of insurance." He also referred to "loading" and "unloading" cases as an analogy which we do not consider controlling in the case before us. The memorandum further stated that

The title race is on for the British Stand Up Paddle Champions 2008 As we approach the final event of the 2008 season the title race for the national champion in Stand Up Paddle Surfing and distance racing is on ! This is the first time that national champions have ever been crowned in the UK. In fact the UK is the first country to have a national governing body for stand up paddle surfing (BSUPA) so it is the first time a national champion has been crowned in the world.

I had left they discovered the person who did the shooting. It was done by one of their own number, who managed to get away. It was very gratifying to thus have my innocence established, but it did not recompense for the time I had spent in jail and the loss of money. I had been running a train out of Ilo about a month, when one night I was invited to a "wake." Having never attended one, I accepted the invitation. At one end of the room stood a large table, and upon it the body of a child two years old. On its head was a wreath of flowers. The child was dressed in white; in its tiny hands was a bouquet of flowers; the feet were encased in small white slippers; lighted candles surrounded the body. Atcompany sent to hurry up the ammunition. The insurgents saw them and imagined that the government cavalry had succeeded in getting to their rear. The panic became a rout. In vain did Pierola plead, as he threw himself in front of his demoralized men, in vain did the priest hold his crucifix on high, threatening and pleading, but no persuasion could stop those runaway cowards. The government troops realized something was wrong, and began to scale the heights. Still, if the cavalry which had done no fighting, could have been led to the side of the pass, the day would still have been with Pierola, and probably the stampede would have been checked. But unfortunately for the would-be president, there was no one in command capable of meeting the emergency. I became excited, and snatching a cutlass from the hand

train. Akhmetshin says his dealings with Lieberman in New York that day were “personal” and centered on a scholarship program that he claims Lieberman started. “And he was in New York that day to discuss arrangements with Metropolitan Museum with kind of taking care of that scholarship award,” Akhmetshin stated. Akhmetshin says that while he was in New York, he had lunch with Veselnitskaya, who told him about the scheduled meeting that day at Trump Tower, but she didn’t say anything about him attending. He claims that after he had lunch with Veselnitskaya, she called him and asked him to attend the Trump Tower meeting, but she didn’t suggest any role he would play at the meeting or why he should attend. After the meeting at Trump Tower, Akhmetshin says he went todinner and a play with Lieberman and the subject of the meeting that same day did not come up in his conversations with Lieberman at dinner or during the play. Akhmetshin also stated in the testimony that he was not asked to keep the meeting confidential. In other words, Akhmetshin is claiming that he attended a meeting at the campaign headquarters of Clinton’s presidential challenger with that challenger’s son and other top Trump staffers, and that same night Akhmetshin did not even mention the meeting to his friend Lieberman, a Clinton associate. He also said he had drinks that same night with another “friend,” but could not remember who that friend was. Later in the testimony, when Akhmetshin described disclosing another matter to journalist friends, he was questioned about his claim that

The polarity of the membrane skeleton in retinal pigment epithelial cells of developing chicken embryos and in primary culture. We studied the morphogenesis and the membrane skeleton in the retinal pigment epithelium during chicken embryogenesis and in culture, by using immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. During embryogenesis two distinct membrane skeletal structures were formed, an apical and a basolateral one. The former was seen in the apical surface already in the 10-day-old embryos. It was comprised of ankyrin and alpha-fodrin and showed a codistribution with Na+,K(+)-ATPase and an as yet uncharacterized cadherin-like molecule. The basolateral membrane skeleton was seen in the lateral walls already in the 10-day-old embryos, and later, between the 13th and 17th embryonic days, it also appeared at the basal membrane, coincidentally with the formation of theindifferent attitude of government officials, GST, diesel price hike and corruption on roads by observing a token 'chakka jam' (strike) on October 9 and 10," AIMTC president SK Mittal told reporters ahead of the strike.AIMTC, the top body of transporters, represents around 93 lakh truckers and around 50 lakhs bus and tourist operators across India.Supplies of commodities including food are likely to be affected due to the token strike.Mr Mittal said that "contra laws" in the present GST regime has led to coercive registration and unnecessary compliance by truckers and transporters. The sale of used business attracts GST, which leads to double taxation by the government, he added.Another transporters body - the All India Transporters Welfare Association or AITWA - said that it will support AIMTC's nationwide strike

Indiana union members gather outside the state Senate chambers on Tuesday. | AP Photo Daniels wants Ind. GOP to abandon labor bill Mitch Daniels suggested Tuesday that Republicans drop their push for the right-to-work legislation that has sparked a Wisconsin-style fracas at the Indiana statehouse, saying it would be a shame if other bills are impacted by the flap. "I thought there was a better time and place to have this very important and legitimate issues raised," Daniels told reporters at the statehouse, audio of which was released by his office. The Republican governor and presidential hopeful also said he won't send out state police to round up absent Democratic state lawmakers, who fled the state to stall Republican action on the bill. It's the first time Daniels has spoken sincethe Republicans passed the bill out of committee Monday. He's opposed the bill coming up right now, saying it's the wrong time for it. Daniels is taking a much more conciliatory tack than Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. A Republican sweep in Indiana last year gave him the power to push forward an ambitious legislative agenda. But with no clear end-game in sight in Wisconsin, some are cautioning about a GOP overreach on the labor-rights issue — and such a fight in Indiana could be a distraction for any national ambitions Daniels has. "Even the smallest minority... has every right to express the strength of its views and I salute those who did," Daniels said. Labor unions watched on and cheered the sudden gridlock from the gallery, the Indiannapolis Star reported, as

The president held a fundraiser for her early on and sent out tweets on her behalf in the final days of the race, including on Tuesday night. But other surrogates like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Vice President Pence were the ones who provided on-the-ground support. She thanked the president in her victory remarks on Tuesday night, getting loud cheers from her supporters. The argument made by even Trump allies, such as Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, the state's former governor, was that even if you don't like Trump, don't hold that against Handel. "Some Republicans may even be turned off by our president," Perdue acknowledged at a rally Saturday. And, he seemed to admit, a loss could have be damaging for the Trump administration's agenda: "This is a harbinger of nationalMelksham's super six Related The loss of key midfield trio Jobe Watson, Heath Hocking and David Zaharakis in recent weeks would be enough to concern any Essendon supporter but some pleasure has to be taken from the way those next in line have covered the loss. Jake Melksham has been the prime example of the improvement and development for some of the on-ballers at the Bombers this season, in particular with Melksham over the last six weeks. His turn around in form has been remarkable over the last six rounds with the 21-year-old averaging 21 disposals a game compared to his career average of 16. Melksham has played an important in and under role over the last six weeks proven by his improvement of 8.5 contested possessions a game, up from his career

There is one game Sunday as most of the league knocks off to let the NFL's final four play down to two, since most of America would stay home to watch football on TV anyway. With the NFL playoffs dark next week, ABC — which is really ESPN's lightly used over-the-air platform — comes out from under its rock to resume national NBA telecasts with the Celtics at Staples Center to play the Lakers next Sunday. The Celtics start their trip at Portland on Thursday, then take on the intrepid Suns, who have won five of six after being given up for dead again, the next night.

David Swanson Byon 4/10/2011, 10:17pm PT - Special to The BRAD BLOG by David Swanson in Afghanistan... KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - Ramazan Bashardost finished third in 2009's openly fraudulent presidential election. When the first-place finisher, Hamid Karzai, failed to beg, borrow, or steal 50% plus one he was required to participate in a runoff. When the second-place finisher bowed out, Bashardost was entitled, under the Afghan Constitution, to be in that runoff. It never happened. Bashardost is currently a Member of Parliament here, having previously served as Minister of Planning. Bashardost was educated in France and speaks fairly good English, as well as a number of Afghan languages. He's an opponent of war, a harsh critic of President Karzai, and someone on the inside who tries to represent the suffering people ofOn the outskirts of the ancient Roman city of Nimes in southern France, archaeologists have discovered the graves of three Muslim men that date back to the 8th century. The finding, reported Wednesday in PLOS One, suggests the early medieval presence of Muslims north of the Pyrenees was more complicated, and perhaps more welcome, than previously thought. The medieval history of Muslims in Spain and Portugal is well established, but information about the experience of Muslims in France during the same time period has been more difficult to find. According to historical documents, around the year 719, Muslim troops from the Umayyad army crossed the eastern Pyrenees and occupied the region around Narbonne 530 miles south of modern-day Paris. But the occupation was short-lived. By 760, the Franks, who came from

The National Human Rights Commission ( NHRC ) took cognisance of the encounter killings of the four accused in the Hyderabad gangrape-and-murder case and ordered an inquiry on Friday.The apex human rights body in the country said the encounter was a matter of concern and needed to be probed carefully."The commission is of the opinion that this matter is required to be probed very carefully. Accordingly, it has asked its Director General (Investigation) to immediately send a team for a fact-finding, on-the-spot investigation into the matter," the NHRC said.The team from the investigation division of the commission, headed by a senior superintendent of police (SSP), was expected to leave for Hyderabad immediately and submit its report at the earliest, the commission said.The incident clearly indicated that the policepersonnel were not "properly alert" and "prepared for any untoward activity by the accused on the spot", which resulted in the death of all four, it added.Pointing out that the deceased was arrested by the police during investigation and a judgment was yet to be pronounced, the rights body said if the arrested persons were actually guilty, they were to be punished in accordance with law.The NHRC had earlier said there was an absence of a " Standard Operating Procedure " for the police to immediately respond to panic situations."The commission has been insisting upon all law-enforcing agencies to keep the human rights angle in their view while dealing with the persons arrested by them or being kept in their custody."The right to life and equality before law

Dutch clean ice to raise chances of skating race Volunteers poured onto frozen rivers and lakes in the northern Netherlands on Tuesday to shovel away snow that is one of the major hurdles in the way of a grueling speedskating race being held for the first time in 15 years. Helpers arrived from as far afield as Amsterdam, more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) away, to clear the ice after organizers of the Elfstedentocht, or 11 Cities Tour, warned that snow that fell Friday was hampering ice growth. Their enthusiasm reflected the Elfstedentocht fever that has gripped the Netherlands amid speculation that the cold snap that has brought misery to much of Europe could deliver ecstasy to the Netherlands in the form of the race being skated for the first timeand lakes in the northern province of Friesland before the 16,000 competitor event can go ahead. The 22 district chiefs are scheduled to meet again Wednesday evening to discuss conditions and weather forecasts. Freezing conditions are forecast to continue until Sunday at least, but a thaw could set in early next week. The nearly mythical race has been staged only 15 times since 1909 and is expected to bring this nation to a halt if it happens this year. In 1997 an estimated 1.5 million spectators lined the route as farmer Henk Angenent won the race and in doing so became a household name. Like skiing in mountainous nations such as Switzerland and Austria, speedskating is a national wintertime obsession in the Netherlands, which is crisscrossed by thousands of miles (kilometers)

A search of the patents registered in the second half of the 19th century by Moses G Crane of Massachusetts reveals a man who was never short of ideas. There is an egg-beater, an ice-cream freezer, a method of making pliers, a restyled bicycle, an electro-mechanical gong and a gun-barrel scraper. There are also several versions of and adjustments to his most lasting contribution to society, the fire alarm, the success of which provided him with enough money to pursue one of his more far-fetched flights of fancy. Crane had three sons who played football at Harvard, but he was not a fan of the sport. Apparently he believed that “to the average person without a college education it is incomprehensible, dull, cruel”, and he was particularly irritated athow hard it was to follow the progress of a small brown ball on a crowded, and often quite brown, field. And so Crane donned his thinking cap. “If the ball were only made large,” he said, “yes, large enough so that a player on one side could not see who was on the other, you would then have a chance to interest spectators in watching the whole game and in introducing much merriment, as well as skill.” In 1894 he found someone who could make his monster ball, at a cost – for materials alone – of some $175, about $4,500 in today’s money, and after several months of experimentation his son Edwin produced some rules. Pushball was born. The following year it was mentioned for the first

Thesmophori festival in ancient Syracuse reveals that some of the jokes and festival behavior familiar even in today's Carnevale began as a mimēsis of ancient myths. Argyri Karanasiou's essay on Plautine comedy closes the section. She argues that Plautus's comedies are not art imitating life, but rather art imitating prior art (Hellenistic comedy), while simultaneously inventing a new art form (the Roman comoedia palliata). Part VI, which examines mimēsis in material culture, concludes this thematic collection.

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A man accused of setting fire to the one·n·ten LGBTQ youth center in Phoenix in early July has been arrested. According to Captain Reda Bigler with Phoenix Fire Department Friday afternoon, Darren William Beach, Jr. was arrested at his apartment, following a joint investigation involving Phoenix Fire Arson investigators and the Phoenix Police Department. Beach, according to Cpt. Bigler, was booked into the 4th Avenue Jail on a count of alleged arson of an occupied structure. The fire at the LGBTQ youth center, according to officials, took place at around 11:00 a.m. on July 12. At first, Phoenix Fire officials said the fire was suspicious, but later backed away from the claim. On Wednesday, Phoenix Fire officials issued a statement, saying that recovered video evidence led to thediscovery of arson. Fire officials also said on Wednesday that the arson incident in question was not a hate crime incident, as the suspect used to be a client of the center's services. Beach Jr. was a former member of the LGBT youth center, which provides programs and services for youth in need. Beach Jr. aged out at the age of 25. "He's obviously troubled in some way," said Linda Eilliot, Executive Director with one·n·ten. "We just hope he gets the help and peace that any youth deserves." Elliot said the arson was hard on current members. "This is their safe place. This is where they come to to feel safe and loved with their friends, and when one of the former participants is responsible, there's additional trauma," said Elliot. Elliot went on to

Gardians of the Hive 3 questions to Tara: Can you explain what was your job about ? What was you doing in Kenya with bees ? I was working on a human-elephant conflict project in Kenya called the “Elephants and Bees Project”. To give you a little background, elephants will often eat and trample entire farms of crops in Africa, which drives human-elephant conflict, making people afraid of them and not wanting to protect them. But Dr. Lucy King discovered that elephants are afraid of bees, and that whenever they hear bees, they will warn their herd of the danger and leave the area. So, she began constructing “beehive fences” that surround subsistence farms near areas where elephants frequently travel. A beehive fence is a series of beehives hung up and attachedfixes and improvements for gameplay-related issues and requests that some players reported. Players can now select the vehicle they want to spawn when using the “Drop Vehicle” rebel skill. – Fixed XP awarded when killing an enemy undetected. – Fixed a bug where sometimes vehicle seats could stay booked after NPC exiting. – Fixed a bug where the player would take cover too far from certain props. – Players can no longer teleport to safe houses while being hunted. – The Medical Helicopter will now spawn correctly in the Tabacal area side-mission. – Fixed bikes not slowing down in water. – Fixed flash grenades not stopping detection. – Fixed an occasional instant game-over when falling off a dirt bike. – Fixed a bug where sometimes the player could not tag enemies after hot joining. – Adjusted damage caused by

Illustrated and CBSSports, is seen by many as a favorite to defend its conference title and is projected to be in the running for (dare I say it?) a national title this fall. Anything less than a fourth straight BCS bowl appearance would be a clear step back. Those expectations are the result of one of the most remarkable transformations in college football history — at one of the most remarkable times in college football history. In the era of the spread, a finesse offense reinvented itself as a physically imposing, run-first attack that used more tight ends and fullbacks on a single drive than most of its opponents had on their rosters; in the era of short college careers followed by lucrative professional ones, a once-in-a-generation quarterback stayedCrossroads (British TV series) Crossroads (later known as Crossroads Motel) is a British television soap opera that ran on ITV over two periods – the original 1964 to 1988 run, followed by a short revival from 2001 to 2003. Set in a fictional motel (hotel, in the revival) in the Midlands, Crossroads became a byword for cheap production values, particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s. Despite this, the series regularly attracted huge audiences during this time, with ratings as high as 15 million viewers. It was created by Hazel Adair and Peter Ling and produced by ATV (until the end of 1981) and then by ATV's successor, Central Independent Television until 1988. The series was revived by Carlton Television in 2001; however, due to low ratings it was

Q: What does "kept an ear out on the street" mean? With this small story, Diana shocked the entire room. She always kept her past hidden away. Only a select few truly knew who she really was, and most of them were dead. Even Christian was hearing this for the first time. The rest of the day was predominantly uneventful. Diana helped Christian to get back on his feet, taking a few tentative steps. She had to make sure that he could at least walk slightly before they left. Charlie and Jack kept an ear out on the street, to warn Diana if anything seemed out of sorts. Vicki was left to assist either pair if needed. Dinner was a particularly trying time. EveryoneThe manufacturing of window frames is a complex process. Broadly described, this process includes two parts. The first part comprises the cutting, machining and welding frame elements to form rectangular window frames. The second part includes the assembly of hinges, seals, locks, thermos panes, bug screens, and packaging for shipping. The first part of the process, including the assembly of window frames, includes the most difficult operations in the manufacturing of vinyl and aluminum windows. This portion of the process is carried out in the frame machining and welding room. Long extrusions are handled over machinery and in tight spaces. These extrusions are set in jigs and are carefully aligned with the bed of each machine. Precise cutting, machining and welding are critical as dimension tolerances are very small.

For the unofficial month of love, I asked Emily toRacist-in-chief When I was a kid, my dad would tell tales of his growing up during the Great Depression and World War II. He often wondered how the people of Germany could have fallen for a Hitler and his philosophy of hate. Growing up, I always wondered that as well. How could so many people have fallen for it? Watching what has been happening over the last few years here in the United States, I now understand how the Nazi party rose to power: the German people fell for a con man who knew where to place the blame for the nation’s problems. That blame was aimed squarely at people perceived as different. Fast forward to Make America Great Again: can you smell the racism in that slogan? With a black

the Treasury in the George W. Bush administration. He resigned from that position effective June 29, 2006, and four months later, on October 19, Cerberus issued a press release announcing that Snow had been named chairman of Cerberus Capital Management LP. The appointment proved helpful, given Snow’s government experience, when Cerberus took over Chrysler in 2007 and soon went shopping for Washington’s assistance to keep the company afloat. Feinberg, who in reality runs all of Cerberus as its CEO and chief investment officer, is one of those financial backers of the GOP who derides government interference in the market any time it threatens to help ordinary folk. But when he bought Chrysler, one of those distressed companies that he specialized in dismembering, he quickly found a need for massiveits wealth and deep connections in Washington to shape the debate over the foundering automakers to its advantage.” In its attempt to save Chrysler, Cerberus had hired former Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli to turn the company around, but he failed. He reappeared in 2010 as CEO of Cerberus’s Freedom Group Inc., with its “family” of fifteen gun and ammo companies including Bushmaster, Remington and other top selling brands.

the south coast of Newfoundland in 1969. (Submitted ) While the Joey Smallwood government did not force people to leave Pushthrough, Raymond Blake said the community was struggling to find teachers who would stay. His mother signed the petition to resettle, just like everyone else. In July, 1969, a schooner carried the family's possessions from the old house in Pushthrough to their new home. Raymond Blake was 10, Hayward 13. Hayward Blake was 10 when he posed for this photo, and still living in the isolated community of Pushthrough, where people used kerosene lamps whenever their generators broke down, which was often. Blake is now 60 years old. (Bruce Tilley/CBC ) The new place came equipped with running water, a flush toilet, and a television. Raymond Blake said it was very exciting for childrenwho were used to kerosene lamps whenever the generator back in Pushthrough didn't work, as it often didn't. "In the evenings you could go anywhere in the house and push a switch and the light would come on," said Blake. "Simply amazing." Blake says resettlement was in many ways a good thing, but he adds he's come to understand that it was traumatic for some. Debt and heartache Raymond Blake says his mother was stoic, but he wondered what it was like for her as a widow with six children. She was separated from her friends and relatives, and was an outsider in her new community. Until the age of 10, Raymond Blake lived in the now-abandoned community of Pushthrough. Today he lives in Regina, where he is the head of the history

The Baked Bean Museum of Excellence is a museum dedicated to baked beans, owned and operated by a bean-obsessed superhero called Captain Beany. And yes, it is as eccentric as it sounds. In order to understand the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence, you first have to understand Captain Beany. The man formerly known as Barry Kirk once worked in the computer department of the British Petroleum chemical plant in the village of Baglan in Neath Port Talbot. Then, in September 1986, one sublime event changed his life: Kirk sat naked in a bathtub full of baked beans for 100 hours, setting a new world record. At the same time, his one true destiny was revealed: Captain Beany was born, an honest-to-goodness real-life superhero rising like a phoenix from the richtomato sauce of a thousand baked beans. It was a beautiful moment. In truth, it actually took a few years for Kirk to complete his baked bean-obsessed transformation. But in 1991, he legally changed his name by deed poll to Captain Beany. Not stopping there, he started painting his face and (now completely bald) head orange, and began wearing a golden cape, pants, gloves and boots. Ever since, Captain Beany has been involved in a whole range of strange events, raising money for various charities including Sport Relief, Cancer Research and the British Heart Foundation. He has run marathons, pushed a can of beans along a beach with his nose, bathed in a bath of tomato soup, climbed a mountain, and had 60 baked beans tattooed on his head. In

ATF report identified a .32 caliber Derringer pistol that had been purchased by Dasmond Miller, also in November 1988. In a safe in the upstairs bedroom, officers found a tupperware container of clear plastic bags containing crack cocaine and an envelope containing powder cocaine. Several days later, police located an additional hidden compartment at the bottom of the safe which contained $1,000 in currency. After the Tifton Court shootings, Beckford returned to New York. According to the testimony of Poison Clan member Winston Gordon, Beckford admitted that he shot Ambrose and said that Dennis shot Miller. Similarly, Dennis told Andrew O'Brien that he shot Smith and Miller and that Beckford shot Ambrose. B. The Tracy Lavache Shooting In early 1989, Poison Clan member Tracy Lavache also transferred from the New York operation to the Richmond operation and began selling drugs at a RoseAvenue distribution spot. By October, how- ever, Lavache began talking to Beckford about leaving the organiza- tion and going out on his own. On the evening of October 9, 1989, Beckford led Lavache into an alley behind the distribution spot to "talk." Instead, Beckford shot Lavache twice, once in the arm and once in the chest, attracting the attention of Dennis, Heston Benjamin, and James Phillips to the alley. Dennis and Benjamin put Lavache in the trunk of Beckford's automobile and they, along with Beckford, dumped Lavache's body in a wooded location. Although left for dead, 6 Lavache managed to drag himself to a highway and lived to name his assailants. C. The Sugar Bottom Murders In 1993, Dean Beckford

My thanks to those who write. To follow Schramm’s post on the election, here’s Horace Cooper’s latest analysis predicting a Bush November victory. Upshot: The country is just too darn conservative for the Kerry-Edwards ticket to prevail. I would say--not in a self-interested way--that Ohio is the most critical of the so-called Battleground states in the election. In fact I would go so far as to say that most of the so-called battleground states are not really in play. A few examples: Bush will win the states he won in 2000: West Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Arisona, Nevada, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Florida (I also think he is going to take Wisconsin and Iowa, may take Oregon, but will lose New Mexico, all of which he barely lost in 2000). Whileand "appeasing" Red China. Of course, once in office Clinton pursued a foreign policy that was practically indistinguishable from that of his predecessor. The current president’s policy broke with this tradition, of course, but this was more the product of 9/11 than any natural predilection on Bush’s part. As I’ve said before, I would expect that in the event of a Kerry victory in November the current strategy would continue, in large part, to be followed, no matter what Kerry the candidate may say now.

DMD would acquire name, logo in exchange for stake a seat on DMD board The group behind the effort to bring a United Soccer League team to Nashville has sent a letter of intent to acquire the assets of the city's existing soccer team. DMD Soccer sent a letter today to Nashville FC, the supporter-owned team that competes in the National Premier Soccer League, saying it would like to purchase the name, logos and word marks of the team to use for a future USL franchise. In exchange, Nashville FC would receive an ownership stake and a seat on the board of DMD, according to a message sent to Nashville FC members Friday morning by chairman Chris Ferrell.

Trainee specialist: meeting the needs of service provision and career development. A two-year modular training scheme to enable qualified speech and language therapists (SLTs) to become specialists in the field of acquired neurological disorders in adults was set up to address problems of: difficulty recruiting to senior posts; lack of opportunity for inexperienced therapists to gain experience in this field and the need for structured supervision. The paper describes how time was found to devise and implement the modular Nine Box System, the problems encountered, the advantages and disadvantages of the scheme as a whole and future developments. The scheme has potential to meet the needs of managers in creating a pool of experienced specialists to recruit to senior posts. It meets the needs of junior SLTs in providingWASHINGTON — When President Obama addresses the nation on Wednesday to explain his plan to defeat Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria, it is a fair bet he will not call them the “JV team.” Nor does he seem likely to describe Iraq as “sovereign, stable and self-reliant” with a “representative government.” And presumably he will not assert after more than a decade of conflict that “the tide of war is receding.” As he seeks to rally Americans behind a new military campaign in the Middle East, Mr. Obama finds his own past statements coming back to haunt him. Time and again, he has expressed assessments of the world that in the harsh glare of hindsight look out of kilter with the changed reality he now confronts. In making his speech,

I think you're forgetting about Dalinar catching the shardblade with a clap. Honestly you could end an episode with the sword crashing down and then him with the sword caught above his head, then start the next episode with that, go to the reactions of Szeth and everyone else, and then cut back and forth between him with the sword in his hands and flashbacks for him and Kaladin. That's like three episodes right there.Six years after thousands of US Marines flooded Afghanistan's southern Helmand province — an insurgent stronghold and a hub for Afghan drug production — American troops have returned to the volatile area to help counter yet another Taliban offensive. And already, one US soldier has been killed and another wounded. The US military said on Tuesday that an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated near a joint patrol by US and Afghan forces in the area. Six Afghan soldiers were also wounded in a separate blast. The wounded American is in stable condition, the Pentagon said. The dead US soldier has not been identified, pending notification of his or her next of kin. Around 100 US soldiers were deployed to Helmand over the past week after the Taliban offensive threatened the

The Full Story Of Matt Le Tissier’s Spread Betting Scandal Le Tissier came clean about a betting syndicate in his 2009 autobiography (© PA Images) He may have ended his career without a senior trophy to his name, but Matt Le Tissier remains one of the most iconic players in Premier League history. A Southampton legend who made a total of 540 appearances for the south coast side, the attacking midfielder was blessed with extraordinary natural ability that enabled him to score some of the best goals England’s top flight has seen since its rebrand in 1992. Le Tissier made his Southampton debut six years before that landmark, and by the end of his maiden campaign as a professional he had already wowed Saints fans with his exceptional potential. The Guernsey-born support strikerhad long since established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet before the decade was out, and his 20 league goals in 1989/90 – plus four more in the two domestic cup competitions – saw him win the PFA Young Player of the Year award. Individual recognition would become a theme of Le Tissier’s career, although it is slightly surprising that he only won Southampton’s Player of the Year prize on three occasions. Nevertheless, there was no doubt that the enigmatic attacker was consistently the most important member of the Saints squad, a fact best exemplified by manager Alan Ball’s decision to free him from defensive responsibilities and build his team around him in 1994/95. Le Tissier duly found the back of the net 30 times in

Designated Runner March 8, 2011 Charlie Finley was a Major League Baseball team owner — the Kansas City (and after he moved them, Oakland) A’s, specifically — from 1960 to 1981. An innovator with a flair for gimmicky brilliance, Finley was a driving force behind night baseball (now the norm) and employing the designated hitter. But one of his innovative ideas — a failure, at that — yielded an odd result: the Major League Baseball career of Herb Washington. Washington was a world-class sprinter in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He held the world record in both the 50 yard and 60 yard dash and won an NCAA title as a track star at Michigan State University. But he hadn’t played competitive baseball since his junior year in high school.105 appearances were as a pinch runner — he ended his brief career with zero plate appearances and just as many innings in the field. Even his baseball card, pictured, noted that he was a pinch runner. The experiment: unsuccessful. Of particularly descriptive note was how Washington fared in the 1974 World Series. He made three appearances — again, all as a pinch runner. The results: one time stranded on first base, one time forced out at second base, and, in a particularly embarrassing turn of events, one time picked off in the ninth inning — as the would-be tying run. Oops! Bonus fact: Hall of Fame relief pitcher Rollie Fingers may be best known for his distinctive handlebar mustache. Credit Finley for Fingers’ facial hair — the eclectic owner

The mystery of how an Irish proverb found its way into a recent Brexit speech by EU president Donald Tusk may have been solved. It has now emerged that the senior European politician's speechwriter is Co Cavan man Hugo Brady. Speaking After meeting Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin last week Mr Tusk used the Irish language phrase "Ní neart go cur le chéile” which means “there is no strength without unity”. A former Dublin City University journalism student, Mr Brady has a masters in economic science and a diploma in European law from the Law Society of Ireland. He has worked with Mr Tusk for the last three years after spending time at the centre for European Reform, where he was a senior research fellow. In the recent past Mr Brady has spokenExtensive spinal epidural hemorrhage associated with von Willebrand's disease--a case report.

The LHCb collaboration today published an unambiguous observation of an exotic particle that cannot be classified within the traditional quark model The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) collaboration today announced results that confirm the existence of exotic hadrons – a type of matter that cannot be classified within the traditional quark model. Hadrons are subatomic particles that can take part in the strong interaction – the force that binds protons inside the nuclei of atoms. Physicists have theorized since the 1960s, and ample experimental evidence since has confirmed, that hadrons are made up of quarks and antiquarks that determine their properties. A subset of hadrons, called mesons, is formed from quark-antiquark pairs, while the rest – baryons – are made up of three quarks. But since it was first proposed physicists[The family physician and his "patient with family". Significance of the family system in treatment of patients in general practice]. From a systemic perspective the general practitioner and the patient form a "medical-therapeutic system", which has the same features as other social systems. As the patient is also a part of his family system there are (more or less detectable) interactions between these two relevant systems as well. Compliance-from a systemic point of view-is not only an indication of the functioning of the "medical-therapeutic system" but also a result of those interactions between two relevant systems. Clinical trials show that with his interventions the general practitioner helps in solving problems of difficult, blocked family relationships with the goal of an adequate coping strategy for all involved family members.

The Joseph Smith Translation: A Primary Source for the Doctrine and Covenants Robert J. Matthews Robert J. Matthews, former dean of Religious Education, was an emeritus professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University when this was published. The book of Doctrine and Covenants is a fact of life and deserves our most diligent study; it presents the voice of Jesus Christ speaking to us who live upon the earth now. It is a collection of sacred utterances that have been printed and bound into a volume for easy access so that those who wish to learn of their contents may do so. The translation of the Bible by Joseph Smith is also a fact of life and is an extensive work presenting information revealed to the Prophet primarily from 1830 to1833. The Bible translation was done at the command of the Lord and by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. It stands along with the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as a tangible literary product that came from the hand of Joseph Smith. It is, with the other standard works, a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, in some respects, even after 150 years both the Doctrine and Covenants and the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible (JST) remain unknown books because there is so much about them that we have not understood or appreciated. This is particularly true with regard to the circumstances out of which the revelations came. Let us peel back the cover of a century and

The revelation by Time Magazine this week that Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau appeared in brownface when he was 29 years old at the school where he was, perhaps appropriately, a drama teacher, and another incident in which he sang the Banana Boat song in blackface, has ricocheted around the world with predictable consternation at home and disbelief and mockery abroad. The New York Times put the brownface story above the fold on the front page and ran it as the third-ranked story for hours Wednesday on what may be the most read news web site in the world. The BBC, which competes with the New York Times for that top news web spot, placed Trudeau’s multiple blunders at the top of its front page for most of Wednesday andas a superhero in Maple Leaf regalia, receiving high praise from the respected New York Times foreign affairs columnist, Nicholas Kristof, and garnering even higher praise from Rolling Stone magazine, Trudeau’s international standing has been in freefall for some time. Anyway, it was always based far more on Trudeau’s appearances than substance. Story continues below advertisement There was, of course, the cringe-worthy song and dance routine that Trudeau performed in India in February 2018, where he used his wife, Sophie, and their children as props, and for some reason felt it necessary to bring along an Indian chef from Vancouver to feed his hosts in India. Rather lost in that frenzy, the Modi government was actually far more upset over Team Trudeau twice inviting a convicted Sikh terrorist to public

Eccl. R. iii. 11), Ṭarfon's account, that the voice of the high priest was drowned by the song of the other priests, also confirms the synchronous statement (Yer. Yoma 40b) that in former times the high priest uttered the Name with a loud voice, but that subsequently, when immorality had become more and more prevalent, he lowered his voice lest the Name should be heard by those unworthy to hear it.

trading days confirms the huge unwinding of yen carry trades, which can explain the bulk of sharp selling across Asian markets. The Malaysian bourse has been one of the top performers for the past 6-18 months and is a favourite among foreign funds and hedge funds. The subprime mess caused a fear of redemptions in hedge funds, causing a lot of unwinding of yen carry trades (the yen actually appreciated from 122 to 114 over the last 10 trading days). The liquidity being sucked out of yen carry trade caused a selloff in Asian markets (except China because it was not a beneficiary of the yen carry trade). However the subsequent recovery was more pronounced in the bigger Asian markets such as HK, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore ... andless so for Malaysia. That means I see the KLCI lagging most of the other Asian bourses in recovery for at least the next couple of weeks. The reason being the KLCI was too popular, and too dependent on foreign funds and hedge funds. I suspect the bulk of the recovery now in Asian markets is due to local funds and retail funds. Unfortunately, Malaysia's local funds and retail are still under invested in the markets. The local funds and retail side are more vibrant in Singapore, Korea, Taiwan and HK. Hence the KLCI will lag for a while as foreign funds will not jump back so soon after liquidating. The Good News: This is an excellent time for the "under invested local funds" to re-enter the markets and I suspect

About six weeks ago in June, two days after the National Park Service (NPS) banned drones in all 401 national parks, a 68-year-old California man reported that his drone was stuck in a tree at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. “He called for help, and one of our rangers responded,” Jackie Skaggs, a Grand Teton spokeswoman, told Ars. “He was flying it in the Gros Ventre campground and got it stuck in a cottonwood tree. There was no damage as far as I know to the cottonwood tree. He wanted it out, the rangers came to help, and he was in violation of a public use closure.” The man's drone was never rescued. When rangers returned to help the man retrieve it, it was gone. The rangers presumed itNPS FOIA officer, told Ars that it might be a while before the request is fulfilled.

Damian followed had been contaminated by the police, Damian never followed the complete trail, and Hickman did not allow Damian to smell Carroll when he was taken into custody by the deputy sheriff. 20 Officer Hickman testified that he and Damian successfully had completed a 10-day detection and tracking training course, that he and Damian practiced tracking at least three times a week, that he and Damian previously had worked on about 17 to 25 cases, and that Damian successfully had tracked objects and people on hundreds of prior occasions in training sessions and in actual police work. That testimony established a proper foundation for the evidence.1 21 Furthermore, there were sufficient indicia of reliability regarding the particular trackings here. Hickman testified that conditions surrounding Damian's tracking on the morningof July 13, the day after the attempted robbery, were favorable; that when the air and ground warm up in the morning all scents follow the rising warm air currents, making a trail easy to follow. For the July 13 search, Damian scented only Carroll's trousers so it could not be that he was following the scent of an officer who had walked the trail before. Furthermore, Damian went further into the woods than had Officer Kidd, the only one who could have contaminated the previous morning's tracking by virtue of having touched the box that Damian scented. It is notable that Damian followed the same trail he tracked the previous morning, except as one would expect, that he broke only in one direction

the Romans spoke of the lands under the dominion of Rome, they spoke of Imperium Romanum, more or less meaning "Roman Power/Dominion". In this sense, every nation has an area under its Imperium. Now, the Greek word for the Roman Empire was Basilea, with totally different ethymology and meaning. Because a language is defined by the evolution of the peoples speaking it, and since English or other Western European languages never got in constant contact with China until less than two centuries ago, there is no actual word in English that could translate the full meaning of the Chinese Huangdi. There can be a rough translation by the word Emperor, but each language branch has its own titles with its own meaning. The Russian knyaz is sometimes translated as Grand Dukewords referring to forms of government might be completely different in their meaning and significancy. For example, "Empire" is a word that comes from Latin Imperium, which means, more or less, "power over life and death".

the music along, or holds it back, depending on the need. The opening song is where all these ideas come together perfectly. Dream of a Black Horse is based on a Vietnamese folk song that tells of a bridegroom readying his horse and carriage to bring his bride home. In Verdun's Dream..., the black horse rebels, casting off bit and bell, and bringing his own love home. Musically it's brilliant. The mixture of hard but spare guitar, punchy drums, traditional Vietnamese instruments and electronica gives the whole track a real drive and energy - yet held in check by Martha and Ngec's beautiful soaring vocals. Page of Swords is a lullaby sung by a mother to child that shows off Martha's voice to further effect as does the tenderSong To A Sparrow - very Clannad, with just voice, guitar and cello. The three short tracks which follow, are based around instrumental ideas, utilising more odd meters with some spoken word and electronic samples. The closing track takes similar ingredients to the opening one, but comes up with a different taste - less of the Vietnamese influences and rather spoilt by a rather repetitive, march-like drum pattern. The choice to do a cover version of Purple Haze is a debatable one. Clearly Bernard has tried to give it a totally fresh sound with odd meters (7/4 at one stage), Martha's very bluesy vocals and by taking the whole thing down to around a third of the speed of the original. It could work on some songs but when the

My Peace Corps Years in Tranquilla Dr. Meredith W. Cornett, Ph.D. Heart of Palms is a clear-eyed memoir of Peace Corps service in the rural Panamanian village of Tranquilla through the eyes of a young American woman trained as a community forester. In the storied fifty-year history of the US Peace Corps, Heart of Palms is the first Peace Corps memoir set in Panama, the slender isthmus that connects two continents and two oceans. In her memoir, Meredith Cornett transports readers to the remote village of Tranquilla, where dugout canoes are the mainstay of daily transportation, life and nature are permeated by witchcraft, and a restful night’s sleep may be disturbed by a raiding phalanx of army ants. Cornett is sent to help counter the rapid deforestation that is destroying the ecosystemand livelihoods of the Panama Canal watershed region. Her first chapters chronicle her arrival and struggles not only with the social issues of language, loneliness, and insecurity, but also with the tragicomic basics of mastering open-fire cookery and intrusions by insects and poisonous snakes. As she grows to understand the region and its people, her keen eye discerns the overwhelming scope of her task. Unable to plant trees faster than they are lost, she writes with moving clarity about her sense of powerlessness. Combating deforestation leads Cornett into an equally fierce battle against her own feelings of fear and isolation. Her journey to Panama becomes a parallel journey into herself. In this way, Heart of Palms is much more than a record of her Peace Corps service; it is

the Blues can make the move permanent at the end of the season, and the Argentinian showed off his abilities with a brace in the win over Huddersfield on Saturday. Manager Maurizio Sarri is likely to place his full trust in the Juventus loanee, who already found plenty of success playing under him at Napoli. A strong finish to the season should lead to plenty of interest from other clubs in Abraham, who could earn himself a permanent switch in the summer. Villa could be an option should they earn promotion, and Wolves will undoubtedly try their luck again.integration of large panel windows into their structure. The building is smoke-free.

the champions. #1 ENGLAND England squad for the World Cup SOURCE After a disappointing world cup in 2015, England has inarguably embarked themselves as the standout favourites to clinch this title on home soil. Coach Trevor Bayliss has revolutionized the England cricket after their loss in the 2015 world cup. Eoin Morgan leading from the front holds an impressive record by winning 13 of the last 16 ODI series against the top teams like India, Australia, Pakistan and almost every team that they will face in the coming world cup. England’s most impressive performance in global 50 over cricket has come on its home soil. Whether it is by progressing to the semi-finals in 2017 ICC champions trophy or runners up in 2013 and 2004 in the same competition. England has a deepthe 3 departments there are no second thoughts about India starting as favourites for the world tournament. Statically going, India has won 13 ODI series against all the top teams from 2015 and has also proved themselves in majors tours and competitions. Winning the Asia cup in 2018 and then trashing Australia and New Zealand on their home ground, India is currently the top favourites in the cricketing world. Not only have they been dominant but they have looked uncannily convincing in their triumphs. Being crowned champions twice and notably proving themselves on the English soil by defeating none other than England in the 2013 Champions trophy and being the runners up in 2017, there is no doubt that the team has read the conditions of the English soil

them. Because of her intellectual side her words might seem stern, but she is very kind and cares a lot about her workers. Riho Kitsuki Gentle, easy to get along with others and an attentive girl. She speaks with the "desu wa" or "desu no" and other typical ojou-sama speech patterns. She is a bit off her knockers sometimes, relaxed and happily invading other people's personal area. She feels there is no concept between men and women, so she is constantly hugging the protagonist. She has a clumsy side, sometimes falling down in plain areas, but during work she is more focused than everyone else, after work she will look for other things to do. She came to the island to experience society since she came from a wealthy family. UmiKouzaki The protagonist's kouhai from university, she gives off the aura of being unapproachable. Stern but polite girl, she is calm and determined. She acts hasty and is very careful, but sometimes she is very clumsy. She appears mature but often she becomes childishly stubborn. When the protagonist gets close to another girl she will reveal her jealous side. Shiori Maki One of the resort staff. She is a very shy girl, and is always working quietly. Occasionally she would use her cute appearance and ecchi talk which surprises the others, but in the end she is a very hard working girl. At first glance she will have a cold face, but if stared at she will go red in the face very fast. Nagisa places a great deal of trust

Transmedia Tuesday: Britain's "The Seed" Makes Botany Cool One of the fun things about transmedia stories is that they can be put together in lots of different ways, from lots of different parts. The Seed is a British transmedia experience that combines a web narrative (told through Facebook), a live theater component, and a real world treasure hunt to tell a story of mystery and intrigue based in the world of 19th century botany (which, trust us, is a lot more exciting than it sounds). The Facebook page functions essentially like a blog, with wordy posts and plenty of videos and photographs. It follows the real-time story of Helen, a lowly worker at the Millennium Seed Bank (a real project) who becomes involved in trying to figure out the significanceHeidegger's object/thing distinction to look at the role of objects that have become manifest in a way that sets them apart from the world in which they exist.

The Great House of God The Great House Of God: A Home for Your Heart is a Christian religious book written by Max Lucado and published by Word Publishing in 1997. Terry Burns of the Pembroke Daily Observer called The Great House of God "an excellent book on the Lord's Prayer". The Christian Science Monitor listed The Great House of God fifth on its quarterly list of hardcover religion bestsellers in December 1997. In a Publishers Weekly review, Henry Carrigan writes that, although the thoughts in the book "might be powerful in their spoken form, the brevity and the shallowness of their written form abandons readers in the foyer". In a Booklist article, Ray Olson compares the book to Philip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace?, which was alsoa history of hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, multiple sclerosis, and remote breast cancer status post mastectomy and chemotherapy.

After reviewing her treatment options, she elected to proceed with PVI. She was on apixaban 5 mg BID for thromboembolic prophylaxis for her AF. She ultimately underwent successful PVI using a cryoballoon catheter and intravenous bivalirudin infusion in place of unfractionated heparin. The patient was continued on her oral apixaban therapy in the month leading up to her ablation. She held her apixaban dose the morning of her procedure. The patient was given a 325-mg dose of oral aspirin therapy prior to the

The Viral Fever launches the trailer of its upcoming nostalgic 90s show ‘Yeh Meri Family’ Mumbai: The Viral Fever (TVF) has just launched the trailer for its upcoming dramedy, a 7-episode web series ‘Yeh Meri Family’, which will revive all the memories, and more. The trailer aptly captures the nostalgia of the 90s and displays the dynamics of the Gupta family from Jaipur. Created in partnership with AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds of India), the show portrays relationship dynamics in a way that is bound to resonate with viewers, as they emanate not from vivid imagination but from true accounts. The trailer of ‘Yeh Meri Family’ can be viewed at Starring Mona Singh and Akarsh Khurana playing the roles of the loving parents who hold the family-fort every step of theway, Yeh Meri Family has been created and directed by Sameer Saxena (also the creator of Permanent Roommates & Tripling). Words mean the world at TVF, and writer Saurabh Khanna (Creative Director for Permanent Roommates S2) has displayed his craft beautifully with Yeh Meri Family. With melodies by TVF’s ace music director Vaibhav Bundhoo, who has given music for TVF Pitchers, Permanent Roommates, Humorously Yours and ImMATURE (yet unreleased, official selection at Canneseries, April 2018), one of the tracks in the show has been sung by singing legend Udit Narayan.

The EM core of this Program Project has two related purposes - to support instrumentation essential for the research proposed in the four projects of this grant and to facilitate application of the methods being developed in these projects to collaborative and independent efforts. The principal components of the core are the electron microscopy facilities at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and at Brandeis University. The HMS facility will house four FBI microscopes: a Tecnai F20, a Tecnai T12, a CM10, and a Polara F30. The F30, the F20, and the T12 microscopes are equipped with cryo-stages;the F30 and the F20 have field-emission guns. The Brandeis facility also houses four FBI instruments: a Morgagni M268, and EM20, a CM12, and a Tecnai F30.

But ‘If Only’ is not without its humour, dexterity, political astuteness, and skilful juxtaposition of characters. The coalition’s rise and potential fall is told not through the party leaders - even though they adorn the programme cover - but three second-tier politicians from each of the main parties. Their journey together begins, quite literally, in a car as they seek to rush back to Britain from Spain for the 2010 general election hampered by the

[27] Its role was actually quite minor, largely based around parachuting in with press statements and media events. In fact, the ANCYL plays almost no role in any Cape Town social movements, [28] although there are some individual activists. However, these protests raised the ANC profile in the 2011 local government elections – in the one province that the ANC consistently loses to the DA. This was cheap politicking, which the Malema faction hoped would raise their value in the party. Meanwhile, identical anti-working class, anti-poor policies in the rest of the country (including open toilets), by the ANC were carefully ignored. The other ANCYL protest was the 2011 “Economic Freedom” march from Johannesburg. The march attracted some militant working class youth, desperate for a better future, but the marchstate outsourcing and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are used as a key means of creating a black bourgeoisie via state-backed Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) – the rise of Malema from son of a domestic worker to a very wealthy man, through state contracts, is a case in point. The ANC-led, largely black, state elite is allied to the largely white private corporate elite: together they wreak havoc upon the working class, and perpetuate the legacy of apartheid for the black, Coloured and Indian workers and poor, impoverish a growing section of the white workers, and terrorise immigrant workers. BEE serves a small, powerful elite, while the NGP attacks the poor. By 2002, 10 million South Africans (mostly poor blacks) “had their water cut off and 10 million … had their electricity

The return of Judy Blume by Nick Davies For the first time in more fifteen years, Judy Blume has written a novel for adults, Tara Fowler writes in an exclusive for People. The prolific author of classics such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Deenie, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing will release her latest book in the summer of 2015. Being published by Knopf, Blume’s new book is titled In the Unlikely Event, and it takes some cues from the author’s own childhood. Specifically, it’s set in Elizabeth, NJ in 1951 and 1952, when an unusual number of plane crashes occurred in the area—even leading to Newark Airport shutting down for almost a year after the third crash in two months happened in February 1952.

Marius Arnesen, a cameraman for Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, was in a helicopter hovering more than 600 feet (200 meters) over Utoya island, where panicked youth were being massacred as they fled into the water on Friday. At the time, Arnesen says, he didn't realize the scale of the disaster, in which at least 68 people were mortally wounded. “We were circling the island taking shots of the island,” he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “It looked empty, so at first I thought police had evacuated the island.

She was also chief consultant to housing and transportation committees in the Assembly. She served as chief of staff to current state schools chief Tom Torlakson when he was an assemblyman and state senator. She began her Capitol life as an Assembly fellow. There is life for Cornwell outside the Capitol, however, as chair of the Sacramento County Project Planning Commission. Cornwell has degrees from UCLA and Princeton. She

Now on the threshold of its third year, Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar, a pioneering scheme aimed at rooting out Naxal influences through development — has emerged as one of the most successful programmes of the state government in Jehanabad district. Conceived by the then home secretary H C Sirohy and launched by chief minister Nitish Kumar at Sikariya village on January 21, 2006, Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar (Asdwar) programme has brought down considerably cases of naxalite violence in the region and also won acceptibility among rural folk, police, academics and social organisations. This is something which is a huge feat considering that several such programmes launched in the district in the past like the Operation Rakshak and Operation Siddhartha were virtual non-events. The success of the programme — both in winningcritical acclaim at various local and state-level platforms and producing outstanding results at the ground level lies in its integrated development approach and sincere efforts of the district administration to sustain the programme despite all odds. The Jehanabad district magistrate Sanjay Kumar Agrawal, who is working with a missionary zeal to impart a new tone and content to the whole programme, said the scheme envisages to bring development to the grassroots. Under Aasdwar programme our main objective is to sanitise the Naxal-affected panchayats in the distirct first and then saturate them with development in a phased manner, he added. The scheme is currently underway in five naxalite affected panchayats of the district Viz Sikariya, Sewanan, Mandebigha, Surungpur — Bhawanichak and Jamuk, all in Jehanabad Sadar block.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a pomegranate tree, botanically known as Punica granatum L. of the Lythraceae family, and hereinafter referred to by the variety denomination ‘KAMEL’. The new Punica granatum ‘KAMEL’ is a product of a controlled breeding program conducted by the inventors, Doron Holland, Irit Bar-Ya'akov and Kamel Hatib in the Yizre'el Valley, Israel. The objective of the breeding program was to develop a new Punica granatum variety with vigorous production of mature fruit and good eating quality. Pomegranate seedlings were collected from different sites (in Israel) and planted in the Yizre'el Valley, Israel. The new Punica granatum ‘KAMEL’ originated from open pollination of an unknown Punica granatum variety. The new Punica granatum ‘KAMEL’ was observed in 2003 and selected in 2006by the inventors in a controlled environment in Yizre'el Valley, Israel. Asexual propagation of the new Punica granatum ‘KAMEL’ by cuttings was first performed in February 2006 in the Yizre'el Valley of Israel, and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new variety is firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual propagation. The new variety propagates true-to-type. Resulting plants of the new Punica granatum were planted in 2007 in the Yizre'el Valley.

the floor by a pretty wide margin. The guy has terrific size and he can really shoot the ball with range. When he's fully engaged in the game, he'll surprise you with situational explosion to grab tough rebounds or throw down a dunk. Shawn Smith, SG/PG, ACD- His reputation preceeded him and he didn't disappoint. A wiry, quick and athletic 6-foot-3 (maybe 6-foot-4) combo guard, he runs a lot of point for Arlington Country Day. The 2012 prospect is capable, but he's at his best attacking from the wing and making plays for himself and others. He's a guy that will be discussed when rankings come around. Kevin Mcdaniels, PF, Central Park- There wasn't a more active guy in the gym than the ultra-athletic forward. His energy level is impressive,he's got a nose for the ball and he really looks like he's having fun out there. He led his team with 24 points and had to have been pushing double digit rebounds on the offensive end alone. More battle of the best notables Quinn Cook, PG- Having previously played for DeMatha High, the DC Assault and USA Basketball, Cook hasn't lacked for exposure. The Duke signee is effective in that he scores off of the dribble and doesn't force much. He gets the ball to his talented teammates and loves to pull-up for jumpers off the dribble when the defense falls asleep. Keith Hornsby, SG, Oak Hill- We'll stay away from the puns and just talk about his game. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard is a tough kid, not a bad

The Argentine revealed over Facebook that he and girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo are expecting another child Lionel Messi has revealed that he will become a father for the second time. The Barcelona star and girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo celebrated the birth of Thiago, their first child, in November 2012, and revealed on Facebook that they will become parents once more. The 27-year-old posted a picture of the pair's son kissing his mother's stomach, with the Argentine adding the message: "Can't wait to welcome you into our world!!! We love you! Thiagui, mum and dad," to the post. He also posted the same picture on Instagram, saying "Waiting for you baby! We love you". There has been no announcement as to when the child is expected or how far along Roccuzzo is in her pregnancy.The ESB has opened its Turlough Hill generating station to the public and is offering free tours throughout the summer to mark the 40th anniversary of the State’s first and only hydro- electric storage station. Set high in the Wicklow mountains and almost invisible to prying eyes the station – which can generate up to 292 MW of electricity in 70 seconds – is located 500 metres inside the hill itself. Some 300 metres above the turbines is the upper reservoir on the top of Turlough Hill, its flat top the only sign from the nearest public road of man made intrusion in the landscape. It is approached by a small winding road over rocky outcrops known as the Wicklow Gap, seeming populated only by sheep. However, 300 metres off the

the Napoleonic war, Napo- leon developed beet sugar. That, plus the end of slavery, plus the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark by Woodrow Wil- son in 1917, plus oil-burning vessels which no longer need dock at St. Thomas for coal, left these islands poverty stricken and hopeless, with-the Negro population seething with unrest. ISLANDS BRANDED A "POORHOUSE" . ft was at this point, at the height of the Hoover depression, that my father took over. Herbert Hoover, who appointed him, made one visit to the islands, publicly branded them "an effective poorhouse" and went back to worry about things closed to home: That was in 1931. The problem of reviving those bankrupt Islands eventually broke my father. He left the islands four years later, criticized and reviled. The white plantation owners conspired against him. The Negro politicians lampooned him. He waseven accused of stealing four bags of cement. But sometimes those who are reylled the most eventually are revered the most, and last week I was invited back to Bt. Tho- mas to dedicate the first public housing protect in these Islands. It was named the "Paul M. Pearson Gardens" In fathers honor. I had not been In the islands for 21 years. Frankly, I had not wanted to go there. Though my father was not embittered by the treatment which brought an early end to his life, I was. I had no desire to return. I was glad, however, that I did. All over the islands are landmarks to the dreams that father dreamed, the dreams he made come true. 8t. Thomas, where he laid the groundwork for a new tourist trade, Is now teeming with visitors.

The genome of numerous types of monocot plants was successfully transformed with transgenes in the early 1990's. Over the last twenty years, numerous methodologies have been developed for transforming the genome of monocot plants, for example wherein a transgene is stably integrated into the genome of monocot plants such as maize plants. This evolution of monocot transformation methodologies has resulted in the capability to successfully introduce a transgene comprising an agronomic trait within the genome of monocot plants such as maize plants. The introduction of insect resistance and herbicide tolerant traits within monocot plants in the late-1990's provided producers with a new and convenient technological innovation for controlling insects and a wide spectrum of weeds, which was unparalleled in cultivation farming methods. Currently, transgenic monocot plants, for examplemaize plants, are commercially available throughout the world, and new transgenic products such as Enlist™ Corn offer improved solutions for ever-increasing weed challenges. The utilization of transgenic monocot plants, like maize plants, in modern agronomic practices would not be possible, but for the development and improvement of transformation methodologies. However, current transformation methodologies rely upon the random insertion of transgenes within the genome of monocot plants. Reliance on random insertion of genes into a genome has several disadvantages. The transgenic events may randomly integrate within gene transcriptional sequences, thereby interrupting the expression of endogenous traits and altering the growth and development of the plant. In addition, the transgenic events may indiscriminately integrate into locations of the genome of monocot plants, like maize plants, that are susceptible to gene silencing,

The Dane County Sheriff’s office says a gas line explosion occurred in Sun Prairie on Bristol Street Tuesday. Authorities said the gas lines were turned off later Tuesday night.

Hector Morales Vargas, Chairman of the Planning Board of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, indicating that the OIC no longer required Plaintiff's services and asked that he be reinstated to his tenured position as Administrative Analyst VI at the Planning Board. On September 16, 2009, Plaintiff received a copy of the letter sent by Cruz to Hector Vargas. Plaintiff was supposed to return to work at the OIC on September 18, 2009. On that day, Plaintiff went to the Planning Board offices and showed the letter to the Executive Director, Manual Cardona. Cardona told Plaintiff that he had no knowledge of this letter and it had never been received by the Planning Board. Human Resources Director of the Planning Board, Attorney Jeffrey Perez, informed Plaintiff that the agency requiredto reinstate him to a tenured position was the OIC, as he had been transferred there on June 16, 2009. On September 17, 2009, Plaintiff received a letter addressed to him signed by Cruz. The letter indicated that Plaintiff had been terminated from his employment because of various infractions to the Administrative Order on Conduct, Corrective Measures and Disciplinary Actions of the OIC. The letter had not been personally delivered but had been left at his home. Following his termination, Plaintiff requested a hearing with the agency. On November 17, 2009, the agency held an informal hearing. No one from the agency appeared during the hearing. Additionally there were no witnesses present at the hearing, and no documentary evidence was presented. The officer in charge of the hearing ultimately
