Fighting to survive Afghanistan | The country has been described as 'the most dangerous place to be born' "Fighting to survive" Continued... KABUL, Afghanistan-On Thursday two newborns died in the neonatal unit at Kabul's Cure Hospital. One, a baby boy born to a 22-year-old mom along with a twin girl, died soon after delivery. The other, also a boy, died several hours later of apparent respiratory failure. Both were full-term, and, despite X-rays, examinations, and respiratory treatment as doctors fought to save them, they died of unexplained causes. A chest X-ray on one infant showed a spinal deformity that suggested possible spina bifida and could have been related to the cause of death. That's significant, said pediatrician Jerry Umanos, because this is the third baby the mother has lost within the first 24hours of delivery. "If that's what it is then folic acid could take care of it," a routine supplement for expectant mothers in the United States but one that's usually lacking in Afghanistan. Autopsies, which also could help prevent repeat complications, aren't allowed in the country for cultural and religious reasons. While soldiers battle insurgency and terrorism, health workers in Afghanistan battle to keep much of the rest of the population alive. Cultural norms that deny women access to proper healthcare are a big factor, but so has been the country's 30 years or so of civil war preceding 9/11. The U.S. invasion led to some improvements this decade but many of those have receded as fighting has resurged. Save the Children ranks Afghanistan the worst place in the

26) - A rare "behind the curtain" look at the most sophisticated and secretive intelligence communities in the world. Meet the men and women who served as double agents in the U.S., went undercover in Cuba, Israel, Britain, Russia and China, and lived to tell their stories. With "Bourne"-like recreations, this first episode features a former top Mossad agent pushing the limits to help solve the mystery behind the assassination of Saddam Hussein's top weapons scientist, Gerald Bull. The prime suspects? The world's premier spy agencies that include MI6 and the CIA. For the first time ever, former Israeli and American spies reconstruct the technology of the assassins in an attempt to find Gerald Bull's killer. DEADLY DESCENT (December 3) - The deepest caves and the darkest ocean floorsAmerican players – Andre Agassi, Tim Mayotte, Jimmy Connors, Aaron Krickstein or Michael Chang – particularly fancied to claim the Coupe des Mousquetaires. But during two unforgettable weeks in May and June of 1989, 17-year-old Michael Chang stunned the tennis world, becoming the youngest ever winner of a Grand Slam men’s singles event and acting as a laxative to the blockage of American champions. Along the path to this title, Chang would be involved in one of the most memorable matches in French Open history. His fourth round victory over Ivan Lendl was a triumph of will and mind over body. Chang dug into every inch of his soul and streetwise fighting qualities to achieve a remarkable win. Their clash was scheduled for Monday June 5, but before the two would

Clan Summons Up the History of Presidents and VaccinesFamily quarrels are usually private things—unless of course, the family is famous. A public spat among boldface names broke out on May 8, when three members of the Kennedy clan published a piece on Politico declaring that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—son of Bobby Kennedy—has been “tragically wrong” in his years-long crusade against vaccines, a crusade that seems especially irresponsible now as the country suffers through its worst measles outbreak since 1994. Kennedy has become a hero of the anti-vax crowd with his persistent claims that vaccines contain deadly ingredients, particularly a mercury-ba...Source: TIME: Science - May 9, 2019 Category: Science Authors: Jeffrey Kluger Tags: Uncategorized History onetime Source Type: news Childhood vaccines: Tough questions, straight answersDo vaccines cause autism?

The plaintiffs contend that the running of the statute of limitations was suspended during the pendency of the suit in the Southern District of New York. The *12 legal basis for this contention is said to be found in Section 23 of the New York Civil Practice Act, which in effect provides that the statute of limitations shall be tolled during the pendency of another suit on the same cause of action, which is subsequently terminated otherwise than by a voluntary discontinuance.[1] This court is of the opinion, however, that the statute of limitations contained in the United States Code governs this case, and that the New York statute has no application.

Pancake Breakfast Raises $4,800 For Victims Of Plane Crash In Linden LINDEN – Members of Knights of Columbus St. Cecilia’s Council No. 7046 and local boy scouts raised more than $4,800 for the victims of a May 31 plane crash in Linden with a pancake breakfast, according to an NJ.com report. The money will be given to the family of the late Craig MacCallum and the family of 19-year-old Timothy Monticchio. The plane crashed on train tracks near the site of the former General Motors property, moments after taking off from Linden Airport.An earthquake rocked China's western Xinjiang region on Thursday, killing eight people and injuring over as more than 180 homes crumbled, state media reported. The morning quake struck in Taxkorgan county, a remote mountainous area that borders Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan in China's Xinjiang region. The Xinjiang Earthquake Administration said 23 people had been injured, including one seriously, in the lightly populated area. Most houses in the area were made of wood and mudbricks or rock, it said. The U.S. Geological Survey said the 5.4-magnitude quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles) at 5:58 a.m. Thursday (2158 GMT Wednesday). Shallow quakes cause greater shaking at the surface, which can cause more damage. Rescuers were searching for people trapped in the rubble in Quzgun, the worst-hit village, which has a

many collectors come to the sport that spawned them: ice fishing. Made since prehistoric times to attract fish so they could be speared through holes in the ice, these carvings evolved in the 20th century into witty, sometimes weird artifacts. Ice fishing flourishes around the Great Lakes, the region that produced the majority of items in "Fish Decoys," an exhibition through March 28 at the American Primitive Gallery, 596 Broadway, south of Houston Street. Organized by Aarne Anton, the gallery owner, the show is the most ambitious dealer presentation of this folk art to date. Of the 200 decoys, more than 150 were made before 1960. Except for three examples from Alaska that date to 2500 B.C, all are for sale. Among them are the American Indian carvings of thefrom the elaborately painted to those devoid of decoration, from the minnow-sized to those as large as sturgeons. He prefers the decoys of the Chippewa or Ojibwa Indians. "They're the plainest," he said. "Using the natural wood, the Indians stained or burned the surfaces. Some artisans hung bits of metal on the fins, and one decoy in the show is feathered." Collectors often specialize in the works of certain carvers. Virtually none are signed, but many have been identified by specialists. "Oscar Peterson's decoys are among the more realistic," Mr. Anton said. "They have an aerodynamic shape and curvature that gives them a certain desirable movement in the water." Howell's more stylized decoys, carved in abstract shapes and decorated with straight or wavy bands of solid color, also include fish

are entitled to judgment upon the facts set forth in the pleadings because it is clear that the elements necessary to the DeRosas' causes of action have not been satisfied. The DeRosas oppose the debtors motion and allege that the facts, as stated in their papers, support their underlying causes of action. FACTUAL BACKGROUND The debtors filed a voluntary joint petition for protection under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 19, 1993. Shortly thereafter, a trustee was duly appointed to administer their estate in bankruptcy. The DeRosas are the parents of the debtor Carole Jacone and are creditors in this case. The debtors' obligation to the DeRosas arises from a judgment which evolved from a series of state court proceedings. In 1987, the debtors brought an actionagainst the DeRosas in New York State Supreme Court seeking enforcement of an oral agreement wherein the DeRosas promised to convey their home to the debtors in exchange for the debtors' commitment to maintain the home. Following a trial, on June 12, 1989, a judgment was entered by the court against the DeRosas in the amount of $83,600.00 which represented compensation for the amount of maintenance performed on the home. The court also directed that the DeRosas' home be sold to satisfy the judgment. The DeRosas appealed the state court decision. Pending the disposition of the appeal, they entered into a stipulation with the debtors which was so ordered by the state court on January 16, 1990. The parties agreed that the DeRosas would sell the home and that

almost like a modern-day graph – a geometrical figure that represents an abstract mathematical space. That’s really new and exciting as it was thought to have been first invented much later, around 1350. For the research, the team studied clay tablets, dating back to period between 350 BC and 50 BC. Currently kept in London’s British Museum, the tablets contain Babylonian cuneiform text, likely etched by scholars and priests living during that time. Analysis of the text has revealed that these ancient astronomers were computing the irregular motions of Jupiter over the course of 60 days, starting from a day when the planet first appeared above the horizon. For the Babylonians, the colossal planet represented their chief god, Marduk or the patron deity of the city of Babylon.

New Jersey have been engaged in a dispute as to the boundary between them. There is no room in such circumstances for the application of the principle that long acquiescence may establish a boundary otherwise uncertain. Vermont v. New Hampshire, 289 U.S. 593, 613; Indiana v. Kentucky, 136 U.S. 479, 509, *377 511; Massachusetts v. New York, supra, p. 95. Acquiescence is not compatible with a century of conflict. Only a few instances will be mentioned among many that are available. In 1813, the Delaware Assembly ceded to the United States an island in the Delaware River, east of the main channel and within the twelve mile circle, for the erection of a fort. A controversy arose between the United States as holder of the Delaware title andHenry Gale who claimed under New Jersey. In 1836, Gale brought ejectment in the United States Circuit Court against Beling, a tenant. Mr. Justice Baldwin charged the Jury that Penn had no title, but the charge makes it plain that he had no knowledge of the letters patent of 1683, and that they were not in evidence before him. Later an arbitration was agreed upon between Humphrey, who had succeeded to the New Jersey title, and the Government of the United States, represented by the Secretary of War. In that proceeding the award was in favor of the Government. The opinion by the arbitrator, which was announced in January, 1849, is a careful and able statement of the conflicting claims of right.

He stressed that today, "more coca leaves than ever before" are being grown in Colombia. For that reason, he is a proponent of a path to legalization, similar to what Uruguay has done with marijuana, which in his words, "in one stroke" robbed the cartels of their power, money, and ability to corrupt public officials. Prohibition has been done to death and doesn't work, he said, and in fact only serves to "generate more stories like those of Pablo Escobar."March 10, 2019 Dany and Jon fight for the living and for each other. 43.

His parents were nominally MuslimSunnis, although they lived a secular lifestyle. When he was seven years old, Israel invaded southern Lebanon, a fact he referred to later in life. His parents sent him to a Catholic school in Beirut, La Sagesse, where he volunteered at a camp for disabled children and helped run an anti-drug program. Later on, he served a nearby church helping orphaned children there. His academic success to this point was mediocre, and his parents arrangedfor private tutors in mathematics, physics and chemistry. He remained close to his family; he was apparently the only 9/11 hijacker to have close family ties, including with his uncle Assem Jarrah, whose work permit would later be found in the wreckage with Ziad’s passport.

The first local stop on the Trillium Circuit would bring the Sudbury equestrian community out, full force, as Foothills Farms welcomed homegrown and out of town riders alike to the Chelmsford facility earlier this month. Twenty-two year-old Lindsay Rovinelli is certainly not a newcomer to this scene. But as the recent graduate of the Forensics Science program at Laurentian University prepares to head off to law school at the University of Ottawa in the fall, she has taken to "catch" riding in an effort to keep a foot in the door. "If someone can't ride because they're injured or can't make a show, and they still want their horse to go, I volunteer," noted Rovinelli. It's a challenge befitting a young woman who has been riding since the age of four. "When I was younger,stretch, early on in her teenage years, is clearly set apart. "The year that I qualified for the Royal (Winter Fair)," she suggested. "It was full of struggles, but we managed to get it done.

It is also important for formulation of principles and techniques in the management of acrimal problems. The aim of this study was to demonstrate variations in shape, size and location of the opening of the nasolacrimal duct and of the lacrimal fold.

Wednesday, June 01, 2016 THE NICE GUYS: My review Shane Black writes terrific scripts. For a while he was the toast of Hollywood, selling spec action screenplays for millions. The new William Goldman. Black was the most admired and hated writer in town. He has a wonderful knack for really drawing you in, creating exciting surprising action sequences and describing them with such flair that you’re almost breathless reading them. The only problem is his movies are always better on the page than the screen. The plots are less confusing when you can go back and reread stuff. The witty banter (for which he also excels) crackles when not shackled with a movie star who has the light comic touch of King Kong. In some ways Shane Black was the prototypenext door to book a holiday to Slovakia and completely missed the second half of the film. A friend slipped out of 40-year Old Virgin to visit the singles bar next door. It's like product placement, really.

Fab Melo in that game because of an academic issue, and on Monday night senior James Southerland, the team's most consistent outside threat and third-leading scorer, missed his sixth straight game because of an eligibility matter related to academics. Gone, too, from the Orange lineup was 6-foot-9, 288-pound freshman forward Dajuan Coleman, out for a month after knee surgery. On this night, it didn't matter as the Syracuse defense clamped down behind its front line of Fair, Jerami Grant and Rakeem Christmas, who combined for 44 points, six blocks, and 21 rebounds. They also teamed to help limit the touches of Notre Dame big man Jack Cooley in the middle and the Orange's perimeter defenders held their own against the Irish sharpshooters.

Christmas had 12 points and four blocks and Michael Carter-Williams had five points, eight assists and three steals for Syracuse. Jerian Grant, Jerami's brother, finished with 15 points to lead the Irish. The game was the first in college between the Grant brothers and was just the second start for Jerami, who was 6 for 8 from the floor and made both free throws he attempted in playing every minute in place of Southerland. "Teams really don't know what I can do because I haven't been playing a lot," said Jerami, who swished a pair of midrange jumpers in the first four minutes.

Beauty and the Beast (below) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. VFX Prediction #3: De-ageing will remain all the rage On a related front, in 2016 audiences got to meet a young Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War thanks to the efforts of de-ageing specialists Lola VFX, and a younger version of Anthony Hopkins few might remember for Westworld via the work of Important Looking Pirates. With this ‘beauty’ work so progressed now, expect to see more of it in both film and television. A screenshot from the HBO series Westworld shows the digitally de-aged Anthony Hopkins, an effect likely to hit more screens in 2017. Martin Scorsese has already flagged he intends to use the technology on Robert De Niro for the upcoming The Irishman.Sometime before the NFL lockout started in March, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith cleaned out his locker at Bank of America Stadium, according to a report by Pro Football Weekly. The report also says Smith, on the same day, took down all of the decorations in the luxury suite his family used on game days. There has been speculation for months that the veteran wide receiver might want out as the Panthers continue with a youth movement and coach Ron Rivera takes over a team that was 2-14 last season. Smith has been mum on the topic, but this could be a sign that he wants to be traded as soon as the league's labor situation is resolved enough to allow transactions. The report also said Smith asked to be traded

Other Searches Best Collection of Craftsman Bungalows Near Downtown Martinez These American classics with Parthenonic proportions, solid demeanor, and fine details went up between 1905 and 1920, the Craftsman era. They're along Alhambra Avenue near the high school and further north on Alhambra and adjacent streets, and around the junior high school. All bungalows don't have all of the typical features, but look for low-pitched roofs, wide overhangs with visible rafter ends, faux elbow joints appearing to support roof beams, fine details, square columns resting on the ground and tapering in and up to above the porch floor supporting the roof columns. Narrow windows flank a wide window. The crosspieces of the smaller windows and the higher crosspiece of the larger window form a notch, one of the wonderful details. Small panes often appear in the tops of the windows. Almost allin any absolute sense over time. A change in the environment may require a change in the species for that species to survive. But if a mutation spreads too quickly across an entire species it may prove maladaptive to the species if the environment undergoes a further change. More diversity in mutations and hence change is probably better than speed in a mutation becoming widespread in a species. Related to this question, an important principle of natural selection is that a trait that is successful at one time may be unsuccessful at another. This principle was demonstrated by the classic experiments of C Paquin and J Adams of the University of Laval in Quebec, Canada, and published in Nature in 1983.

decades, the Bnei Akiva Orthodox youth movement held these celebrations, known as the Hakafot Shniyot, in the central squares of the cities at the end of the holiday, with the circles of boys and girls dancing - not together, but alongside each other. It turns out that in the clash of the Titans that has been going on here for years over the soul of the national religious public, between the ultra-Orthodox nationalist separatists and those who still view Israeli unity as a sacred value, at least one battle has already been decided. Six weeks have gone by since four cadets were expelled from officer training school after refusing to take part in an evening on battlefield heritage at which a female singer appeared; but the chief of staffthe battalion commander to return to their places. The events of five and a half years ago were a significant test. Many rabbis instructed soldiers to disobey orders and not to take part in the disengagement from Gaza. Was there a wave of disobedience after the ruling was issued? Only a handful of soldiers and a single officer chose to obey it. The fear of the IDF's commanders to come out strongly against the rabbis only empowers the rabbis. How ironic it is that such capitulation comes of all times during the term of IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, who was raised in Kfar Ahim, a moshav that belonged to the Oved Hadati movement, one of the most moderate branches of religious Zionism.

In a recently completed Pan-Pacific tournament, the MLS champion Houston Dynamo was trounced 6:1 in the final by the Japanese Gamba Osaka club that was missing its top six Japanese players due to their national team commitment. . Demand for Yanks Abroad The worldwide demand for the American born and MLS bred players is lukewarm at best. Marginal USNT performers like Pat Noonan (Aalesund) and Clarence Goodson (IF Start) could only find employment with the smaller Norwegian clubs. A once promising starlet Eddie Johnson was sold for relatively low (reported as $2M) fee to the relegation battling Fulham. Other players lefton a free and signed with third tier European teams. Americans already in Europe don’t fare much better. Outside of a few exemplary performances by the US goalkeepers (Blackburn’s Brad Friedel and Everton’s Tim Howard), most Americans are employed by the dregs of the Premiership – Derby County, Fulham and Reading. Not a single American field player can be found with clubs that survived the New Year in the two major UEFA competitions – the Champions League and UEFA Cup.

Category: duke football Duke finished off this season with a bang to win the Walk-On Independence Bowl, defeating the Temple Owls by a smashing score of 56-27. Not much was expected as Duke had lost their two final games of the season in lopsided fashion and had been 2-4 later in the season after a 5-1 start. The Blue Devils came in a 3.5-point underdog, especially having suffered multiple hits to the defensive corps throughout the season, including star CB Mark Gilbert, S Deondre Singleton, and Edgar Cerenord, and would also play without arguably their most important defensive players, Joe Giles-Harris and Ben Humphreys. However, the defense was the one that stepped up in the second half to hold Temple scoreless while the offense racked up 36 points toDuke’s offense was just a bit excited about throwing the ball on three separate occasions and was intercepted (twice for Jones, once for backup Quentin Harris who entered the game intermittently). Temple actually led 27-20 at the half, and had even led 20-7 early, but came to a grinding halt immediately as Duke started to roll on both sides of the field and the blowout began. Offensively, multiple Independence Bowl records were set: Daniel Jones set two with both the most passing yards and passing touchdowns, while the entire team combined to set the scoring record. Duke QB Daniel Jones has set the Independence Bowl record with 5 Pass TD. Jones has 6 TD responsible for today, tying Tajh Boyd in the 2014 Orange Bowl for most by an ACC

engineer, and despite liking the tune and attempting to re-create it, the band eventually dropped it. In perhaps the best example of star-musician hedonism, engineer Roger Nichols spent six weeks and $150,000 creating a drum machine for Fagen and Becker—its name was WENDEL. Gaucho won the 1981 Grammy for Best Non-Classical Engineered Recording, and was certified platinum (over one million albums sold), but despite its success, the band broke up. Fagen and Becker would reunite 12 years later. 7. DEF LEPPARD // HYSTERIA It started with the most money-conscious of intentions, when all four members of the recently wealthy Def Leppard moved to Dublin to get away from their native England's punitive tax rates—but years of delays would lead to $4.5 million spent on Hysteria. The biggest blow was the December31, 1984 car accident that took the left arm of drummer Rick Allen, who understandably needed some time to figure out how to do his job. The early departure of trusted producer "Mutt" Lange due to exhaustion was almost as responsible for the band requiring three years to finish its work. Meatloaf songwriter Jim Steinman was not an adequate replacement, and when Lange eventually returned one year later, he insisted all of the work done while he was away be scrapped. Lange would later be hospitalized from a car accident of his own, and singer Joe Elliott got the mumps. In an example of Lange's perfectionism, the final song to be recorded, "Armageddon It," was mixed for three months until a suitable rendition was chosen. Def Leppard has given

Jackman and Rachel Weisz. The film is the directorial debut of Madeleine Stowe. Plot After his father is killed, a child is kidnapped at the age of four in 1859 with his sister and raised by the Comanche tribe. After being rescued by a frontiersman, their mother spends years searching for them and eventually finds them, but they do not remember her or anything about their previous life. Production The script was written by Stowe under the pseudonym O.C. Humphrey and her husband, Brian Benben in the early 1990s. The film never began production after Stowe declined a $5 million deal in 2003 because she wanted to star as the lead female role instead of only being the writer. Ridley Scott was originally intended to direct the film and star Russell CroweParker family, originally from Virginia, moved from Kentucky to Texas in the early 1830s and established Parker's Fort on the fringes of the Comanche frontier. On May 19, 1836, the Comanche and Kiowa attacked the fort killing most of the residents and capturing several women and children. The captives were Mrs. Rachel Plummer, her fifteen-month-old son James, Mrs. Elizabeth Kellogg and the Parker children, Cynthia Ann, nine-years old and John, children of Silas Parker. The captives were scattered among the various bands of the two tribes. Later, the two women and the Plummer child were ransomed to friendly Indians and returned them to their families.

Last updated on .From the section European Football Lucas Perez had only scored two goals for Arsenal before his hat-trick in Basel Arsenal finished top of Champions League Group A thanks to a Lucas Perez hat-trick in Basel and Paris St-Germain's draw with Ludogorets Razgrad. PSG would have sealed top spot with victory, with anything less allowing in the Gunners, who took control through two Perez tap-ins. Perez drove in his third from the edge of the box and Alex Iwobi rolled in a fourth before Seydou Doumbia cut through for a Basel consolation. A 2-2 draw in Paris left Arsenal top of a group for the first time since 2011-12. Arsene Wenger's side failed to make it past the last 16 that year, and have fallen at the first knockout stage in eachof the past six seasons. Aside from breaking their run of second-placed group finishes, the Gunners have also gone through a group stage unbeaten for the first time since they reached the final in 2005-06. Gunners' good fortune? A 2-2 draw at home against PSG in November looked to have consigned Arsenal to second place and, in theory, a harder assignment in the last 16. Their only hope of topping the group was help from Bulgarians Ludogorets, who twice led in Paris and, despite Angel di Maria's late equaliser, held on to seal a place in the Europa League. As a result, Arsenal know they will avoid Barcelona and Monaco, who have knocked them out in the past two seasons respectively, as well as Atletico Madrid and Napoli in Monday's draw. However, they will

Burrow would have two years of eligibility left to play college ball. He was a freshman redshirt and played very little the past two years. He was recently passed on the depth chart at Ohio State after a hand injury. The fact that LSU is even considering speaking to Burrow could be an indicator of just how little confidence the Tigers have in current quarterbacks Justin McMillan,Myles Brennan, and Lowel Narcisse.

With the expansion of university education in the UK since the Second World War, ‘Oxbridge’ has been used to distinguish the two universities from others, notably the ‘Redbrick’ universities that had been established at the beginning of the twentieth century. It remains a word imbued with a sense of grandeur and elitism, and it is interesting to note that it has a far wider usage than the alternative ‘Camford’.

CarloneThe University of North Carolina at Greensboro RÉSUMÉ In this ethnographic study, the author describes the meanings of science and science student in a physics classroom in an upper-middle-class high school and the ways girls participated within these meanings. The classroom practices reproduced prototypical meanings of science (as authoritative) and science student (as "dutiful"). The results highlight girls' embrace of prototypical school science. Yet at the end of the school year, the girls did not consider themselves "science people," nor did they want to pursue physics further.

Pamela Geller withdrew her opposition to the not-mosque at not-ground zero. And, oh, yeah, Dr. Dawg and Kathy Shaidle agreed on something. The subject of this unlikely accord is the Jaworskis, a couple who, as Shaidle puts it, are being "bullied" by evil municipal "bigwigs" in the village of Clarington "about having a BBQ on their own property"!

on SDH. A 1987 UNICEF publication on *Adjustment with a Human Face*\[[@B61]\] reported early and important findings on how what we would now call globalization was affecting SDH. The study involved 10 countries (Botswana, Brazil, Chile, Ghana, Jamaica, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe) that had adopted policies of domestic economic adjustment in response to economic crises that led them to rely on loans from the IMF -- a dynamic that is described in the second article of the series. In many cases the policies adopted had resulted in deterioration in key indicators of child health (e.g. infant mortality, child survival, malnutrition, educational status) and in access to SDH (e.g. availability and use of food and social services), with reductions in government expenditure on basic services emergingwidespread improvements in population health is neither automatic nor rapid: it took more than 50 years in the industrial cities of nineteenth-century England, for example \[[@B99]-[@B101]\].

when he killed her. We cannot agree that the jury's rejection of appellant's contention was so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be manifestly unjust. The jury could well have concluded from appellant's own testimony that he long had regretted his decision to become involved with Terri. He had been considering divorce for some time, and had told her of the existence of the divorce papers on the day before the murder. Although her attempt to prevent him from leaving their apartment led to tragic events on this occasion, it was not a new occurrence in their relationship. By appellant's testimony, she had behaved in a similar fashion before. The State points out the similarities in the facts of this case and those in Richardson v.built up over time. The jury also could have been influenced by the length of time involved in appellant's fatal assault on his wife and the multiple means by which he attacked her. As noted, evidence established that when emergency personnel arrived at the scene, Terri's body already was experiencing rigor mortis. Appellant's written statement indicates that, in his repeated attempts to insure Terri was dead, he first strangled her, then drowned her, cut her throat, and inflicted stab wounds. In Richardson, a forensic psychologist testified that "in view of the fact that there was a knock down, a strangling, and then a stabbing, that the murder took place over a period of time." 83 S.W.3d at 340. The doctor concluded the murder was not the result of sudden passion because

The world’s economic-political order appears to be at an inflection point, with its future direction hanging very much in balance. Figure 1 The global rise of populism Notes: See Rodrik (2017) for sources and methods. ‘Populism’ is a loose label that encompasses a diverse set of movements. The term originates from the late 19th century, when a coalition of farmers, workers, and miners in the US rallied against the Gold Standard and the Northeastern banking and finance establishment. Latin America has a long tradition of populism going back to the 1930s, and exemplified by Peronism. Today populism spans a wide gamut of political movements, including anti-euro and anti-immigrant parties in Europe, Syriza and Podemos in Greece and Spain, Trump’s anti-trade nativism in the US, the economic populism of Chavez in LatinAmerica, and many others in between. What all these share is an anti-establishment orientation, a claim to speak for the people against the elites, opposition to liberal economics and globalisation, and often (but not always) a penchant for authoritarian governance. The populist backlash may have been a surprise to many, but it really should not have been in light of economic history and economic theory. Take history first. The first era of globalisation under the Gold Standard produced the first self-conscious populist movement in history, as noted above. In trade, finance, and immigration, political backlash was not late in coming. The decline in world agricultural prices in 1870s and 1880s produced pressure for resumption in import protection. With the exception of Britain, nearly all European countries raised agricultural tariffs towards

Manchester City's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage suffered another crushing blow with a comprehensive defeat at Ajax. Samir Nasri slotted City ahead against the run of play in Amsterdam, but Siem de Jong equalised for Ajax with a low finish just before half-time and Niklas Moisander headed them in front. Christian Eriksen made it three with a strike that deflected off Gael Clichy. Defeat leaves City bottom of Group D with one point from three games. After 32 years... Ajax's victory over Manchester City was their first win against English opposition on home soil since they beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the 1980 European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-finals They host Ajax on 6 November and Real Madrid on 21 November before finishing at Borussia Dortmund on 4 December. Dortmund lead theway on seven points, one clear of Real and three above Ajax. The top two advance to the last 16. City fell at the first hurdle last season - their Champions League debut - and look set to suffer the same fate this time round. They can point to the difficulty of being drawn alongside the champions of Spain, Germany and the Netherlands - but their seeding will not improve until they reach the knockout stage. City's Abu Dhabi owners are unlikely to look happily on such a return for their lavish investment, and the team's shortcomings have rarely been exposed as cruelly as they were in Amsterdam ArenA. Ajax started the match in a manner evoking memories of their glorious past, when a side featuring Johan Cruyff won three European Cups

New Acropolis Museum. Art Surviving ancient Greek paintings are very rare. Greek painters worked mainly on wooden panels, and their finest works were admired for hundreds of years after their creation. However, these paintings rapidly disappeared after the fourth century C.E. when they were no longer adequately protected. Rare surviving examples have been found in the tombs of the kings of Macedon at Vergina, at Lefcadia also in ancient Macedon, as well as Kazanlak in ancient Thrace. Surviving examples of the ancient Greek sculpture are more common, particularly the works of the Greek master sculptors, such as Phidias and Praxiteles. These artists and their followers were frequently emulated by the Romans. However, the Christians of the fourth and fifth centuries viewed the destruction of paganidols as an act of piety. Manyancient marble sculptures were burned to form lime in the Middle Ages, and most bronze statues were melted down for their metal. The marble statues that escaped destruction were spared as they were either buried and forgotten, or in the case of bronzes, lost at sea. In the Byzantine period, religious art was the dominant theme, with highly-decorated mosaics and icons adorning religious buildings. The Renaissance artist, El Greco (Domenikos Theotocopoulos), responded to Byzantine and sixteenth century Mannerist art, producing sculpture and paintings with a liberated form, light and color that inspired twentieth century artists such as Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. Moreover, an important and often pioneering role was played by artists from Ionian islands in the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, who exploited developments of

He called on the Muslims of Sudan to take to the streets to "refute the lie" of the secular people, who he said are trying to impose a "twisted vision" on the people and who he said want alcohol, prostitution, and the cursing of Islam to be permitted. On April 20, 2019, Sheikh Muhammad Mustafa Abdel Qader said in a YouTube video that has almost 100,000 views that any political system other than Islam is unacceptable and that Sudan belongs to the Muslims. He spat several times at the "filthy" secular "communists," "infidels," and "apostates" who he said want to see Sudan engulfed in bloodshed, strife, corruption, and fornication.

The second half was given a more interesting look as George Jeacock pulled back for Jordan Graham to fire one back for the visitors. HALF-TIME: EXETER CITY 2-1 OXFORD UNITED City spent much of the second period under the kosh, with the visitors probing consistently towards the end. Kavanagh Keadell saved well from Canice Carroll's header as the defender looked to atone for his first-half error which led to the first City goal, while Max Smallcombe brought a top save from Emmanuel Agboola at the other end.

The Obama administration and 17 U.S. states sued American Express in 2010 alleging that the company’s anti-steering contract requirement obstructs merchants from using competition to try to keep credit card fees from increasing. A trial court agreed, finding that the rules kept lower cost networks out of the field and led to higher prices for merchants and consumers. In September 2016, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York overturned that ruling.

pursuing state administrative remedies,3 he sought redress in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The principal theory of his complaint was that the 1970 resolution violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. 621 et seq., because it was motivated by his union's desire to replace older engineers with younger workers who would enrich the union's coffers by paying high training school and initiation fees.4 Judge Harold R. Tyler, Jr., granted defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. 355 F.Supp. 89 (D.C.1973).

York University that they "probably improve the overall efficiency and resiliency of financial markets." By then, some financial institutions already were worried about the subprime mortgages underlying exotic securities. AIG's Financial Products unit, one of the largest issuers of credit-default swaps, stopped offering that insurance. Even so, few understood the magnitude of the looming disaster. "What nobody knew was that credit derivatives had moved from a risk diversification and risk management vehicle to the world's biggest gambling casino," said H. Rodgin Cohen, a New York attorney for large financial companies such as J.P. Morgan Chase and Wachovia. Although he later said he didn't see the larger danger, Geithner at the time expressed concern about whether the large banks he supervised fully understood their vulnerabilities. In the NYU speech, hesaid they would need to take a "cold, hard look" at the interlocking effects of such deals across the financial system. That same year he initiated a Fed-wide review of how well the financial giants were able to measure their ability to survive the stresses of a market downturn. William Rutledge, the New York Fed's executive vice president for bank supervision, said the reviews turned up several weaknesses. They found that banking companies were pretty good at measuring the risks to specific parts of their businesses but had little understanding of the dangers to the institution as a whole. The firms also failed to account for the kind of worst-case scenarios that would later cripple several banking giants. The New York Fed followed up the study of the stress

Fraud exposed - after 3,000 years By Magdi Abdelhadi BBC correspondent in Cairo [Temple at Luxor] Tomb raiders seem to have been at work right from the start An Egyptian researcher says he has uncovered evidence of corruption and nepotism going back some 3,000 years. A daily newspaper has published details of the study on its front page under the headline Thebesgate after the name of an ancient Egyptian city. The paper says it is Egypt's oldest case of political corruption and official cover-up. At issue was a plot to cover up the theft of gold and jewellery hidden in the tombs of the Pharaohs. According to researcher Ahmad Saleh, whose work is quoted by the Al-Masri Al-Yaoum newspaper, senior officials involved in the looting were allowed to walk free while ordinary people were tried and punished. Hisresearch is about the looting of the tomb of King Sobekemsaf, during the "New Kingdom" era. The looters were caught and put on trial in the ancient city of Thebes, roughly the equivalent of modern-day Luxor. But as it turned out that some senior officials were involved, the case was closed, in what appears to have been one of the first examples in history of an official cover-up. It is a story which will have some resonance in modern Egypt, where many people often complain of what they say is rampant corruption in the country - though modern corruption usually has more to do with kickbacks and dubious contracting than tomb-robbing.

“Ghostbusters,” a revival of the 1984 original, hits theaters nationwide on Friday. As a reboot of a beloved, male-led science fiction film from the 1980s with a female-led cast, the reboot has proved somewhat controversial in the circles you would expect. But regardless of the quality of the film, it serves as a perfect demonstration of why internet movie ratings are inherently a problem. Most fundamentally, single-number aggregations — like those used by sites such as Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDb — are a pitiful way of explaining the diverse views of critics. More specifically, a vocal portion of men on the internet — shall we say — go out of their way to make their voices heard when it comes to judging entertainment aimed at women, and thatmembers as collaborators, conspirators and counselors. It has been a good month for them: Public Enemy will be inducted tonight into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Ernie recently finished a conference at Cornell University, whose library acquired his vast photographic archive. It’s been a big climb for the self-taught photographer and Native American activist who prizes creativity and social consciousness. Decades ago, Ernie, now 66, fell in love with the street art, music and dance created in Harlem, Hollis and the South Bronx by young people who had little money but plenty of imagination.

Champi and Gatto arrived at the 1968 Harvard–Yale game at the culmination of divergent paths. On one hand, Gatto was a senior and the team’s captain, an emotional leader who filled the pregame void left by the relatively aloof John Yovicsin and his staff. On the other, Champi was a junior backup quarterback stuck in a rut behind senior starter George Lalich, having been limited to brief garbage-time minutes in 1968. Champi even considered quitting at times during his tenure in Cambridge, recalling that he was frustrated with his situation and wanted tofocus more of his energy on preparing for life after college. During his freshman year, Champi struggled to keep up with the academic demands of the College, becoming discouraged and plummeting down the freshman team’s depth chart. Eventually he became acclimated as he switched his course of study from History to English, but football still flowed on, unrelenting. Champi and the rest of the team dealt with an extremely difficult and demanding schedule during football season.

Gold prices eventually moving higher: Adrian Day UNITED STATES November 22 2016 1:24 PMNEW YORK (Scrap Register): Gold prices has fallen since Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, but look for the metal to eventually turn higher again, said Adrian Day, chairman and chief executive officer of Adrian Day Asset Management. Day points out that many of the market moves since Trump’s win – stock-market gains and weaker gold – defied pre-election expectations. He explains that higher Treasury yields overrode the negative sentiment globally towards Trump. Still, Day said, many of the market moves were likely overdone. Going forward, a Trump presidency is likely to mean increased spending, including infrastructure and defense, but tax cuts and less regulation.

But their population grew to an estimated 5 million, well beyond what the land could sustain, while huge amounts of resources were spent by chiefs trying to surpass other chiefs in building even bigger monuments. The leadership continued to misjudge the land stewardship and the food resource needs, and as a result several smaller collapses occurred before a large collapse around 900 AD, due in part to a severe drought. When Spaniards reached Mayan territory after 1500 AD, the temples had been abandoned

Inside The Printing Studio Where Obsolete Tech Will Never Die Before computers became the sole progenitors of almost all our visual artefacts, printing was a labour-intensive task that involved applying incredible pressure to inked blocks using machines weighing hundreds of kilograms. At the Common Press, in the basement of the University of Pennsylvania’s Fine Arts Building, artists are still using this outdated technology — right down to ink from the same company Ben Franklin used. We recently had a chance to visit the studio in Philadelphia, where the director of Common Press, Matt Neff, showed us how letterpress works. As part of UPenn’s School of Design, the facility is used to teach students about printmaking, and it also functions as a research and collaboration centre for artists engaged in book-making,celebration of Western holidays such as Valentine's Day, named after a Christian saint said to have been martyred by the Romans in the 3rd Century. Most shops in Riyadh's upscale neighborhoods have removed all red items from their shelves. A statement by the religious police, informally known as the muttawa, was published in Saudi newspapers, warning shop owners against any violations. "Those who don't comply will be punished," the statement said, without spelling out what measures would befall the offenders. The Valentine's Day prohibition is in line with Saudi's strict Wahhabi school of Islam that the kingdom has followed for more than a century. The birthplace of Islam also bans several Muslim holidays except the two most important ones because it considers them "religious innovations" that Islam doesn't sanction. Even birthdays and

BG senior class had a great run Commentary March 20, 2013 INDIANA - As the Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic girls basketball players filed out of their locker room at Indiana Area High School, many of them wore a somber, stunned look. Only after a few minutes did the tears began to pour out from mainstays like Elyssa Ehredt and Kayla Bates. "I just wish," Bates said, "we could have done a little bit more." This eight-member senior class of Lady Marauders had one of the most successful runs an area rich in girls basketball tradition has ever witnessed. They won four District 6 Class A championships, three Laurel Highlands Conference crowns, went to two state finals and brought home the gold trophy once. Article Photos However, for all of their 110 wins, it was their eighthabout the basketball game. You guys were on the state championship floor two times in your career. You won four district championships, Laurel Highlands, tournaments and everything else. Just to measure it on getting to Hershey, it wouldn't be fair." Explaining that to a bunch of 17-and-18-year-olds who came up just short in their final game was one thing. Getting them to totally buy it was another. A big reason this group had so much success was because it was driven hard to succeed. It set goals that were unreasonably high and met them in their first two years. Then it spent the last two years trying to get back there. But the Lady Marauders - with star Halee Adams returning from knee surgery at midseason - were eliminated by

The US government plans to require consumers to register their drone purchases with the Department of Transportation before the end of the year. According to NBC News, the government could make the announcement in the coming days, with the measures going into effect by the holiday season. The department also plans to work with drone manufacturers to set a system for registering the devices. In the US, consumer drones currently operate in legal limbo. Both consumers and drone operators have been waiting for guidelines from the Federal Aviation Administration for integrating unmanned aerial vehicles into US airspace, but the FAA missed a Sep. 30, 2015 deadline imposed by Congress. The agency said earlier this month that it expects more than 1 million drones “under Christmas trees this year.” Given the numerous(accounts) and whichever accounts are found to be unlawful, strict action as per existing laws will be taken," Jaitley said.His comments came on a day the Indian Express carried a report based on leaked documents of a Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca which is said to feature links of over 500 Indians to firms and accounts in offshore tax havens.This included a well-known actor and his daughter-in-law, a leading real estate tycoon and a number of other industrialists and their family members, most of whom have denied any wrongdoing.The report said Onkar Kanwar, Chairman of Apollo Group, and his family members floated an offshore entity in British Virgin Islands in 2010 and two trusts in 2014.Reacting to it, an authorised spokesperson said, "India lawfully permits foreign investments in

RICHMOND Tibet Sign Costs Climber Everest Trek William Brant Holland made it past the treacherous Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest before he slipped up and was booted from Nepal. Holland arrived yesterday at Dulles International Airport after being pulled off the mountain and deported for bringing a "Free Tibet" banner from Katmandu to the world's highest peak. "Yeah, of course it was a dumb mistake," said Holland, 26, who lives in the Richmond area and runs a tree-cutting company part time to help fund his climbs around the world. "I don't belong to any Free Tibet organization. I just wanted to take a picture at the top and put it on my wall, man." Holland also carried a Virginia state flag and a Clinton, La., volunteer fire department patch he got last yearwhile biking from Florida to California to train for the Everest climb. He was planning to take pictures of those items as well, he said, but he never made it to the top of the mountain. Nepalese officials have been under pressure to keep the southern approach to Everest's summit free of politics as Chinese authorities prepared to bring the Olympic torch to the mountain's summit. Everest sits between Nepal and Tibet, which was the site of unrest last month and a Chinese crackdown. Chinese officials fear protests could disrupt the latest leg of the torch relay, as had occurred in Paris and elsewhere. Other climbing teams, which are waiting in Nepal for the Chinese to finish their ascent from the other side of the mountain in Tibet, have been restricted

She started teaching swimming soon thereafter, with a focus on making everything fun – her swim school’s motto is, “Don’t worry, swim happy.” She teaches children as young as 4, adults as old as 84, and lots of people in between (including some of Bangalore’s captains of industry). She’s shied away from coaching, saying that her greatest pleasure comes from seeing her students swim that first lap across a pool, though a few of her former students have become national-level swimmers. And she does work with Speedo, which she says is very active in the country, helping to support the large number of meets (about 100) held in Bangalore each year.The vehicle, while travelling at a speed of 50-70 miles per hour, collided with and damaged 50 feet of metal divider fence.

It was equally undisputed that had the deceased remained in the Opel his injuries, in all probability, would have been relatively minor.

the friends and neighbors of students in the U.S. and Britain. Product Details Read an Excerpt Many Hindus today are urban middle-class people with religious values similar to those of their professional counterparts in America and Europe. Just as modern professionals continue to build new churches, synagogues, and now mosques, Hindus are erecting temples to their gods wherever their work and their lives take them. Despite the perceived exoticism of Hindu worship, the daily life-style of these avid temple patrons differs little from their suburban neighbors. Joanne Waghorne leads her readers on a journey through this new middle-class Hindu diaspora, focusing on their efforts to build and support places of worship. She seeks to trace the changing religious sensibilities of the middle classes as written on their temples and on thefaces of their gods. She offers detailed comparisons of temples in Chennai (formerly Madras), London, and Washington, D.C., and interviews temple priests, devotees, and patrons. In the process, she illuminates the interrelationships between ritual worship and religious edifices, the rise of the modern world economy, and the ascendancy of the great middle class. The result is a comprehensive portrait of Hinduism as lived today by so many both in India and throughout the world. Lavishly illustrated with professional photographs by Dick Waghorne, this book will appeal to art historians as well as urban anthropologists, scholars of religion, and those interested in diaspora, transnationalism, and trends in contemporary religion. It should be especially appealing for course use because it introduces the modern Hinduism practiced by the friends and neighbors

success with the Palestinian author Ghassan Kanafani things were rather slow-moving. However, then in 1988 after Mahfouz received the Nobel Prize, Arabic literature surprisingly moved into the spotlight; simultaneously women's literature boomed. Two Lebanese authors have been on Lenos' best sellers list ever since: Emily Nasrallah and Hanan al-Shaykh. While Nasrallah has a catchy though conventional style, Hanan al-Shaykh has proved to be one of the most advanced Arabic female authors. "Sahras Geschichte" (The Story of Zahra), the book with which the Lebanese author born in 1945 shot to fame in 1980, takes us to Beirut and the civil war. It tells the story of the psychologically weak Zahra who suffers under a tyrannical father, is abused by her brother's friend, receives electroshock therapy and finally finds thethe Tuareg nomads. He tells tales of violence, destruction and sexuality in a world in decline. Some form of disaster or the other always affects the rigid, tribal society that defies desert living conditions and destroys the delicate balance of coexistence between man and nature. These can be natural catastrophes or caused by intruding strangers as in "Blutender Stein", Lenos 1995 (The Bleeding of the Stone) or through presumptuous loners as in Ibrahim al-Koni's novel "Nachtkraut" that was published last year in German. Making coffee in a hail of bullets No handed down code, no "ancestral laws" are accepted any more, the brutality and the sexuality are excessively experienced and described, stimulated by the mysterious "night weed" with aphrodisiac qualities.

Last year, federal police carried out multiple raids on the group across Germany for alleged involvement in drugs and arms trafficking and money laundering as well as blackmail. Deutsche Welle referred to claims based on information gathered from official wiretaps that allegedly suggested that Kulunk had provided funding to leaders of the gang.

Only Owen, who netted as an 18-year-old at France 98, has scored a World Cup goal for England at a younger age but rather than basking in the moment, Alli was holding himself to higher standards. "The fans at home, I'm sure we'll see some videos tonight of them enjoying it". Just four teams remain in the World Cup. Back in 1990, more than 300,000 fans flocked to Luton Airport to greet Bobby Robson's team after they lost a dramatic semi-final penalty shoot-out against West Germany. Instead, the Three Lions took the direct route, with Leicester City centre-back Maguire powering ina header from an Ashley Young corner. Mikael Lustig's absence was notable in the Swedish defence that, for the first time at this World Cup, had troubles in the air. Before England's second goal Sweden missed a golden opportunity to level right after the restart but Pickford, who was named man of the match, made an outstanding save, palming Marcus Berg's close-range header away. So they were tough opponents and set out exactly what that meant at kick-off when they lined their players up on the left-hand side of the pitch and had no one down the right.

confinement is at odds with the reasons why society incarcerates those convicted of crimes in the first place: to rehabilitate and prepare them for eventual release back into the community, said Mr. Sapers, who has long urged the agency to introduce a ban on placing inmates with mental-health or suicide issues in segregation. "The purpose of corrections in Canada is not to isolate and dehumanize people," he said. The problems associated with isolation are not new. One year ago, a coroner's inquest into the death of Ashley Smith, a New Brunswick teen who took her life while in Correctional Service custody in 2007, recommended strict limits on solitary confinement: a maximum consecutive stay of 15 days, and a cap of 60 days during a calendar year. In 1996, an Ontario Court ofmuch attention: the extreme left is, generally speaking, harmless. That's their nature. They're more likely to meditate and form committees than hurt anyone. It's been almost half a century since there were any leftists plotting bombings, and other than the occasional eco-vandal keying an SUV, the left isn't going to be creating much in the way of crime and mayhem. Extreme conservatives, on the other hand, are much more likely to be armed and dangerous. And we have plenty of examples of right-wing terrorism in our recent history, from the Oklahoma City bombing, to the Atlanta Olympic bombing, to the neo-Nazi who murdered six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012, to the murders this April in Kansas at a Jewish community center and retirement home, and

As harrowing stories of men, women and infants undertaking punishing treks - including one instance of a young man walking 150 kilometres with his wife and two young children - emerged, the Uttar Pradesh and Delhi governments responded Saturday by arranging buses to ferry people home. The sheer number of men, women and children led to distressing scenes at bus terminals across Delhi late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, leading police to clamp down on further arrivals and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, to plead with them to stay back and not risk spreading the virus any further.

Just moments earlier, these passive and complacent workers were talking about setting fire to their office. NEW YORK—A massive employee backlash over low wages and increased workload was narrowly averted this week when company management arranged to have eight large pizzas delivered to the design firm Cobalt Media, instantly quelling months of mounting resentment and dissatisfaction. The pizzas—topped with pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese—effectively cooled down the angry mob, which had reportedly reached its boiling point. According to Cobalt sources, the free Italian pies arrived approximately 20 minutes after a company-wide e-mail detailing upcoming cutbacks was sent out late Friday morning.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday amid a recent spate of anti-Semitic incidents in France. During the phone call, Macron told Netanyahu that France would adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

The ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica celebrates new cardinals from countries including Haiti, the Ivory Coast and Nicaragua. This reflects Francis' concern for poorer countries, laid out when he called for "a poor Church, and for the poor" after his election almost a year ago. It was the first time Benedict has attended a papal ceremony since he resigned in February 2013. Benedict sat quietly wearing a long white overcoat in the front row along with other cardinals.

Similarly, while the ‘success stories’ which the Napolaner tell about their achievements in later life have much in common with those told by their civilian counterparts, they are often predicated on the very specific advantages which their Napola education had (allegedly, if not actually) instilled in them. We might even see these recurring themes as constituting the basis of the former pupils’ own miniature Meistererzählung (master narrative) – which could perhaps, if disseminated widely enough, form the basis of a specific form of collective identity.

The internal structure of an ancient Egyptian pyramid was revealed for the first time using cosmic particles, a team of international researchers reports. The innovative technology was applied to the Bent Pyramid, a 4,500-year-old monument so named because of its sloping upper half. According to the researchers, who presented their results in Cairo on Tuesday to Khaled El-Enany, minister of Antiquities and the former minister Mamdouh El-Damaty, the outcome was "excellent" as it showed the inside of the monument as with an X-ray. Cosmic Rays Used to Peer Inside Pyramid: Photos The technology relies on muons, cosmic particles that permanently and naturally rain on Earth, which are able to penetrate any material very deeply. This is the first of four pyramids to be investigated within the ScanPyramids, a project carried out by ateam from Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering and the Paris-based non-profit organization Heritage, Innovation and Preservation under the authority of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The others are the Great Pyramid, Khafre or Chephren at Giza, and the Red pyramid at Dahshur. Scheduled to last a year, the project uses a mix of innovative technologies such as infrared thermography, muon radiography, and 3-D reconstruction to better understand the monument and possibly identify the presence of unknown internal structures and cavities.

American empire through ethnic cleansing of the Indians, in which Jackson played a central role, allowed white Jacksonian men to see themselves as a band of brothers united in the defense of liberty. Unfortunately, Jacksonian nationalism also forged a racially exclusive definition of who was an American and who was entitled to enjoy the blessings of liberty. James Parton, Jackson’s first major biographer, understood why Old Hickory embodied the American character better than any other figure. Unlike their European forebears, Americans did not passively accept what fate and circumstance handed out. The Jacksonian code of honor valued courage above all else, viewing life as a struggle against those hostile forces conspiring to grind a man down into the dust.
