financial crisis, even as the incomes of workers have stagnated or fallen. American capitalist society is hooked on the toxic growth of social inequality created by the stock market bubble. This, in turn, fosters the political framework not just for the decadent lifestyles of the financial oligarchs, each of whom owns, on average, a half-dozen mansions around the world, a private jet and a super-yacht, but also for the broader periphery of the affluent upper-middle class, which provides the oligarchs with political legitimacy and support. These elite social layers determine American political life, from which the broad mass of working people is effectively excluded. The Federal Reserve is a key mechanism for perpetuating this whole filthy system, in which “Wall Street rules.” But its services in behalf of the rich and the super-rich only compound the fundamental and insoluble contradictions ofby the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to weaken “mark-to-market” accounting rules and permit banks to inflate the value of their toxic assets. At the same time, Obama has campaigned against restrictions on bonuses paid to executives at insurance giant American International Group (AIG) and other bailed-out firms, and repeatedly assured Wall Street that he will slash social spending, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. The new financial disclosures reveal that top Obama advisors directly involved in setting these policies have received millions from Wall Street firms, including those that have received huge taxpayer bailouts. The case of Lawrence Summers, director of the National Economic Council and Obama’s top economic adviser, highlights the politically incestuous character of relations between the Obama administration and the American financial elite. Last year, Summers pocketed $5 million as a managing director of D.E. Shaw, one of the

Washington may respond by deploying similar missiles in Europe, which would dramatically increase the vulnerability of Russia’s strategic forces and their control and warning systems. This could make the stage for nuclear confrontation even tenser. Other “centers of power” would immediately derive benefit from the growing Russia-West standoff, using it in their own interests. China would receive an opportunity to occupy even more advantageous positions in its economic and political relations with Russia, the U.S. and Japan, and would consolidate its influence in Central and South Asia and the Persian Gulf region. India, Pakistan, member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and some exalted regimes in Latin America would hardly miss their chance, either. A multipolar world that is not moving toward nuclear disarmament is a world of an expanding Nuclear Club. While Russia and the West continue to argue with eachother, states that are capable of developing nuclear weapons of their own will jump at the opportunity. The probability of nuclear weapons being used in a regional conflict will increase significantly. International Islamic extremism and terrorism will increase dramatically; this threat represents the reverse side of globalization. The situation in Afghanistan, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North and East Africa will further destabilize. The wave of militant separatism, trans-border crime and terrorism will also infiltrate Western Europe, Russia, the U.S., and other countries. The surviving disarmament treaties (the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty, and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty) will collapse. In a worst-case scenario, there is the chance that an adventuresome regime will initiate a missile launch against territories or space satellites of one or several great powers with a view to triggering an exchange of nuclear strikes

between September 1985 and July 1986, Davison saw defendant with a prostitute near the 51st Street apartment. He told the woman in a ―[v]ery hostile and aggressive‖ voice: ―Bitch, get my money.‖ She identified the prostitute as murder victim Trina Carpenter. Aida L. testified she worked as a prostitute in San Diego in 1986 and admitted she had a prior felony conviction for theft. She was also addicted to heroin at the time. On February 13, 1986, two days after police found Trina Carpenter‘s body in a dumpster, the witness testified she was walking alone late at night on El Cajon Boulevard when defendant attacked her. He grabbed her arm, took her down an alley and into an underground parking lot, and forced her to orally copulate him. He then rapedher, and after he was finished he grabbed her neck and choked her. He told her: ― ‗You better not say anything. You better not scream. You better not tell the police or I am going to kill you.‘ ‖ She reported the crime but police did not believe her. Bertha R. testified to the effect of her victimization by defendant. She said that after defendant sexually assaulted her, she starting drinking heavily and abusing cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. Her boyfriend showed little compassion towards her and began treating her differently. When she told him she did not want to have sex, he cruelly replied that she deserved to be raped. She began secluding herself in her room to drink, and she sent her son to her sister‘s

O R D E R In April 2009, Michael Henry saw fit to continue his campaign of litigation against the IRS over the income taxes he owes for the 1999 tax year.  Since 2002 Henry has filed multiple lawsuits in the Fifth Circuit and Seventh Circuit and continues to litigate his 1999 tax liability in the United States Tax Court.  In December 2007, the Northern District of Illinois Executive Committee (“Executive Committee”) issued an order that barred him from filing any new civil cases in its district.  The trial judge dismissed Henry’s complaint * After examining the briefs and the record, we have concluded that oral argument is unnecessary.  Thus, the appeal is submitted on the briefs and the record.  See FED. R. APP. P. 34(a)(2). No. 09‐2398 Page 2 because it was in violation of the Executive Committee’s order.  Henry appeals, and we affirm the action of the Executive Committee.  From December 2006 to October 2007, Henry had filed six pro se civil cases in the Northern District of Illinois dealing with his 1999 tax liability.  After receiving an unfavorable ruling in one of these law suits, Henry sent threatening e‐mails addressed to the judge presiding over the case as well as a number of other government officials involved in his lawsuit.  As a result of these threats, he was convicted of impeding and retaliating against federal officials engaged in their official duty in violation 18 U.S.C. § 115 and sentenced to 16 months’ imprisonment.  To curb Henry’s habit of filing numerous civil cases dealing with the same subject matter (1999 tax liability) and combined with his sending threatening e‐mails, the Executive Committee entered an order barring Henry from filing any new civil cases in the district.  In re Michael F. Henry, No. 07 CV 7159 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 20, 2007) (unpublished order).  As detailed in the order, the filing bar did not affect Henry’s pending cases or apply to criminal or postconviction matters.  Further, the Executive Committee authorized Henry to seek modification or rescission of the order after nine months.  Id.  Henry did not challenge the order, and in April 2009, he filed this suit in the Northern District.  Once again the suit seeks to challenge and overturn his 1999 tax liability.  J.

Kyūmei Byōtō Nijūyoji (Season(CNN) Donald Trump has always been fixated with celebrity. Before he was President or even host of NBC's "The Apprentice," the real estate mogul spent years working the New York City tabloids to catapult himself to fame. Since he took office, that hasn't changed. Trump elevated such people as reality show contestant Omarosa Manigault and WWE co-founder Linda McMahon to positions in his administration. And on Twitter, he often seems preoccupied with celebrities who are critical of him. Trump isn't the first celebrity to sit in the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan had a career in television and film before entering politics. Trump isn't the only President to schmooze with stars, either. Ronald and Nancy Reagan hosted countless celebrities at the White House, and Barack and Michelle Obama rubbed elbows with Jay

the body was taken up into heaven.” Although both the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches commemorate Mary’s passage into heaven on 15 August, the festival is called the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Roman Catholics and the Dormition* of the Theotokos by the Orthodox. A common subject of paintings in the middle ages, the idea of the assumption of Mary into heaven after her death is first expressed in narratives of the fifth and sixth centuries; however this was not formally defined as a dogma until 1950, when Pope Pius XII proclaimed: “The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven.”several perspectives.

pure mathematics was his generalization of Fourier theory into generalized harmonic analysis, but he is most famous for his writings on feedback in control systems, for which he coined the new word, cybernetics. Wiener was first to relate information to thermodynamic entropy, and anticipated the theory of information attributed to Claude Shannon. He also designed an early analog computer. Although they differed dramatically in both personal and mathematical outlooks, he and John von Neumann were the two key pioneers (after Turing) in computer science. Wiener applied his cybernetics to draw conclusions about human society which, unfortunately, remain largely unheeded. Carl Siegel became famous when his doctoral dissertation established a key result in Diophantine approximations. He continued with contributions to several branches of analytic and algebraic number theory, including arithmetic geometry and quadratic forms. He also did seminal work with Riemann's zeta function, Dedekind's zeta functions, transcendental numbertheory, discontinuous groups, the 3-body problem in celestial mechanics, and symplectic geometry. In complex analysis he developed Siegel modular forms, which have wide application in math and physics. He may share credit with Alexander Gelfond for the solution to Hilbert's 7th Problem. Siegel admired the "simplicity and honesty" of masters like Gauss, Lagrange and Hardy and lamented the modern "trend for senseless abstraction." He and Israel Gelfand were the first two winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. Atle Selberg called him a "devastatingly impressive" mathematician who did things that "seemed impossible." André Weil declared that Siegel was the greatest mathematician of the first half of the 20th century. Aleksandrov worked in set theory, metric spaces and several fields of topology, where he developed techniques of very broad application. He pioneered the studies of compact and bicompact spaces, and homology theory. He laid the groundwork for a

owed the entente cordiale. That, as time passed, the mutual understanding which she secured flickered, and gave place to bad blood after the “attempt” of Orsini, Pierri, Rudio, and Gomez, was no fault of Queen Victoria. But the bombs were designed by the master-mind in Belgium, and manufactured at Birmingham, and London was the scene of the “conspirations.” It is true that the personal relations between the Sovereigns, which had been securely cemented in 1855 at Windsor, London, Osborne, and St. Cloud, remained unchanged, and naturally. Was not Queen Victoria the best friend the French Sovereigns possessed in Europe? What angered the French nation was the shelter given to the Italian assassins by England. Had it been otherwise, the tragedy of January 14, 1858, would have been more difficult--perhaps impossible--of achievement. Such was the French view, and not an unreasonable one. Butoutshine the great majority of even the richest members of the French aristocracy. Her magnificent toilettes were the envy of all the women--the De Sagans’ horses and carriages excelled those of everybody else. The purple liveries, braided in gold, were singled out for special admiration by the crowd at Longchamp, where the Prince of Wales was seen fairly often. I have heard that the stables were not inferior to those of the Emperor. The luxe of the De Sagans’ residence was amazing. Very few, if any, royal palaces could show anything equal to it. There were said to be twelve hundred silver plates and dishes, and everything else was on a similarly regal scale. A striking feature of the De Sagans’ hotel was the principal staircase, suggestive of the grand escalier at the Royal Palace at Madrid. The marble steps,

about nuclear fallout, especially because they had gone to such lengths to separate the civilian nuclear power program from the military nuclear weapons program. Data on actual fallout as well as human exposure and the resultant health effects were held only by the AEC lab at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The AEC in fact dismissed the notion that humans could ingest strontium from milk and insisted they could ingest it only from eating bone splinters from poorly butchered animals. Regarding radioactivity in the food chain, from animals eating plants growing in fallout areas, they said: "...experiments have indicated that there is no hazard to human health from this source", although it is doubtful that such experiments ever took place. At least 250,000 American troops were directly exposed to atomic radiation during the 17 years of bomb testing here and in theDisease Control's new study that showed a leukemia rate for veterans of over twice the expected rate. In response to angry viewers, which included some atomic veterans, CBS told them to get in touch with --you guessed it - the Defense Nuclear Agency. The press also played a role in soothing public fears. NY Times science writer William Laurence, writing about the Bikini tests in the Pacific, said: "Before Bikini, the world stood in awe of this new cosmic force. Since Bikini, this feeling of awe has largely evaporated and has been supplanted by a sense of relief..." The Nevada test site fallout didn't stay put, however. It drifted downwind into Mormon areas in Utah. Several years later, leukemias, lymphomas and other cancers and genetic defects began emerging in this area, particularly among children. The AEC continually stated to local residents

THE NEW YORKER, FEBRUARY 13 & 20, 2017 71 sometimes while fully aware of it, dis- cussing with us not only the mystery of his visions but also the mystery of cog- nition. I had seen him cast about in a mind temporarily compromised by ill- ness and catch only strange, dark, pelagic creatures, unknown and fearsome to the rest of us. In all that time, under all those varied conditions, I had never known him to lack for words. But now, for five days, he held his silence. On the sixth, he lurched back into sound, but not into himself; there followed an awful night of struggle and agitation. After that, aside from a few scattered words, some mys- tifying, some seemingly lucid---"Hi!"; "Machu Picchu"; "I'm dying"---my fa- ther never spoke again. Even so, for a while longer, he en- dured---I mean his him-ness, his Isaac- ness, that inexplicable,out mistakenly, that what I was doing during those days was making my peace with his death. I have learned since then that even one's unresponsive and dying father is, in some extremely sa- lient way, still alive. And then, very early one morning, he was not. What I remember best from those next hours is watching my mother cra- dle the top of my father's head in her hand. A wife holding her dead husband, without trepidation, without denial, with- out any possibility of being cared for in return, just for the chance to be tender toward him one last time: it was the pur- est act of love I've ever seen. She looked bereft, beautiful, unimaginably calm. He did not yet look dead. He looked like knew that no one could manage such a serious disease burden forever. Yet the sheer number of times my father

he was standing in the driveway of a relative’s house talking to his cousin and his cousin’s fiancé 2 when Davis approached on a bicycle and hid behind a Winnebago parked on the street. He stated that Davis then jumped out as Marquez walked by, producing a small nickel plated gun, and that Davis demanded that Marquez “un ass” it, i.e., get everything out of his pockets. He stated that Marquez resisted and the two men began to struggle. He indicated that during the struggle Marquez knocked the gun out of Davis’s hand, but that Davis came up with the weapon and shot Marquez. Gentry testified that he heard a second shot but that he did not see the second shot fired because he was running away from the shooting. 3         Gentry testified further thatwritten statements given to Detective McCaskill on July 9, 2002, the day after Gentry’s initial arrest. Davis objected to the admission of these two statements on the basis that they were hearsay, leading, repetitious, and bolstering. The trial court overruled Davis’s objections and admitted the two statements.         Rita Alexander testified at trial that she was in her home on June 24, 2002 when she heard gunshots. She testified that after hearing the first shot she went to the front door and observed one person “leaning behind a car” and another person on a bicycle. She testified that after shutting her front door she heard three more shots causing her and the others present in the house to go out on the front porch. She testified that she then observed the body of a

at this time almost unchallenged in the remote northern provinces. Lying on his stomach in the water and flicking his feet alternately, while his arms behaved in the ordinary "trudgeon" manner, he was able to outstrip many experts older than himself. Some said that if he would only learn a decent stroke he would develop into a really fine swimmer. No one in the little provincial suburb realized that John's eccentric stroke, or something very like it, a product of Polynesia, was even then ousting the "trudgeon" from the more advanced swimming circles of Europe and America, and even England. With this eccentric stroke John displayed his prowess before the reluctantly attentive eyes of Europa. Presently he came Out of the water and played ball with his companions, running, leaping, twisting, with that queer grace which few could detect, butby which those few were strangely enthralled. Europa, talking to her swains, watched and was evidently intrigued. In the course of the game John threw the ball, seemingly by accident, so that it knocked her cigarette from her hand. He leapt to her, sank on one knee, took the outraged fingers and kissed them, with mock gallantry and a suggestion of real tenderness. Every one laughed. Still holding Europa's hand, he brought his great eyes to bear upon her face, inquiringly. The proud Europa laughed, unaccountably blushed, withdrew her hand. This was the beginning. There is no need to follow the stages by which the urchin captured the princess. It is enough to dwell for a moment on their relations when the affair was at its height. Little knowing what was in store for her, Europa encouraged the juvenile philanderer, not only

a roofer. In 1996 Bohanon asked the Walkers to store his car in their garage while he was in Texas. They agreed. Then, while Bohanon was in Texas, the Walkers started to receive Bohanon’s mail at their home. When Bohanon returned to the Chicago area in the spring of 1997, the Walkers asked him to remove his car and stop having his mail sent to their home. At the same time, Bohanon began to show a romantic interest in Ms. Connor. Ms. Walker disapproved and told Bohanon so. She also told him not to come to the house while her husband was at work. Bohanon returned to Texas. But the Walkers’ trouble with him was just beginning. They and their niece started to receive letters, the tone of which, unfortunately, cannot be conveyed without direct quotations. So we quote a few of the letters (allact on it. Nevertheless, it caused embarrassment. The letters to the neighbors caused the Walkers "immeasurable grief." Mrs. Walker testified at sentencing that their house was in a predominately white neighborhood; they and one other black couple were the "only blacks in the neighborhood." The neighbors, who showed her the letter, said "Someone is out to get you." Mrs. Walker testified that she looked at the letter and started crying "because it was so embarrassing, the things that was said in the letter, you know, to them, about raping their kids on the block, taking them in the basement." Even worse than the embarrassment and grief, however, the letters also caused fear. Also at Bohanon’s sentencing, Mr. Walker testified that he feared for his life and the lives of his family. He was afraid that Bohanon would send a letter bomb. One time when Mr. Walker

Cases such as this are far from rare. More than half the waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States during the last half-century followed a period of extreme rainfall, scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore reported Tuesday. They found that 51 percent of the outbreaks were preceded by a rainstorm ranking in the top 10 percent of storms for the area during that period. And 68 percent of the outbreaks followed storms ranked in the top 20so that when you have heavy rainfall, the storm water, which is handled in the same system as sewage, you get overflows and you get contamination," he said in a telephone interview. "The significance of the association between precipitation and disease is amplified when you consider the effects of global climate change, which predict an increase in precipitation in parts of the United States," added Patz, assistant professor of environmental health sciences. The researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health studied 548 outbreaks of waterborne disease between 1948 and 1994 as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The most common type of outbreak was acute gastrointestinal disease. The scientists compared the places and dates of the outbreaks with rainfall records for the nation's various watersheds collected by the National Climatic Data Center. There

Marjorie looked with interest at the places pointed out to her on the way up. She even enlarged a hole in the undergrowth to admit Sandy's plump body. But a vague irresolution and faint sense of discomfort came into her mind as the old red-brick house came in sight, and a blaze of colour from the flower-beds before the windows struck upon her vision. "Boys," she said, softly, "David, you will be nice, even if this man is a cad. Do you hear, Sandy?" she said more sternly, as Sandy panted to her side, returning from some exploration. "All right," said Sandy; "there he is!" They had emerged from the shrubbery path and had reached the edge of the lawn, which wasdiscovery of a mission. She saw the responsibility with which she was charged, through the mere possession of such a power over men." The singer with the gift of God--that was what she became on that evening. She became a new creature. Well, all these are only illustrations of the greatest truth in the world--that in Christ we may all become new creatures or a new creation. We are prone by nature to do what is wrong rather than what is right; we are born with passions wild and strong, and early give the reins to evil desires. By the strength of our animal propensities we are often carried to ruin unless we are arrested in our headlong and miserable career. Sometimes--nay, thank God, often--we are thus arrested. For a time, the voice of conscience may have been hushed. Our heart is

Painting In Carrboro Town Hall Stirs Controversy Nazi Symbol Outrages Employees, Citizens CARRBORO -- Is it freedom of expression or an expression of hate? A controversy is brewing in Carrboro over a piece of artwork that used to hang in the mayor's office. A painting of a swastika, the symbol of Nazism, embedded in the American flag was once on display behind Carrboro Mayor Mike Nelson's desk in Town Hall. Some citizens are outraged, claiming it is offensive and a defamation of the flag. "We have no say so as to what they put on the walls; we are expected to just deal with it. I guess they expect us to walk around with blinders on," Annette Rogers, a Carrboro Town Hall employee, told NBC 17. Initially, the piece was hung in boardroom during an anti-war art exhibit, but was then moved to the mayor's office. Rogerssaid she considers it offensive no matter where it hangs. "I've always been taught it represents hate. I feel like it is not artwork that needs to be displayed in a government building," Rogers said. The controversy has begun to take a grip on the township as well, with at least one citizen calling for the mayor's resignation. Todd Melet was so offended; he began a petition to recall Nelson. "When you take the swastika and deface the American flag, it's a double outrage to an American-Jew," said Melet. "I don't approve of having leadership in Town Hall that believes that this is acceptable." NBC 17 was unable to reach Nelson, who is in Mexico studying Spanish until the end of the month, for a comment. The town manager is on vacation and Assistant Town Manger Bing Renichk said she would not comment on

The officers recovered marijuana, powder cocaine, crack cocaine packaged for sale in separate plastic bags, and numerous small plastic bags. The officers also recovered $6,813.45 in cash from various locations, including a videocassette case; several envelopes addressed to Mallett; ammunition; and a firearm. After his arrest, Mallett admitted that he lived at the house and that crack cocaine was sold from the house to approximately 20 to 25 people per day. He also admitted that he obtained powder cocaine before cooking it into crack cocaine and also hid drugs and money in videocas- sette cases. Mallett provided details of the operation and implicated his housemates. After agreeing to cooperate, Mallett was released from custody. Ultimately, Mallett did not cooperate and was later arrested at the same house on April 19, 2002. At

528 So.2d 454 (1988) Queen WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. UNION NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee. No. 87-1880. District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District. July 1, 1988. *455 Stephen A. Smith, Lake City, for appellant. Brannon, Brown, Haley, Robinson & Cole, Lake City, Jeffrey M. Bell of Taylor, Brion, Buker & Greene, Miami, for appellee. SMITH, Chief Judge. Queen Williams appeals, contending the trial court erred in transferring her suit against Union National Insurance Company (Union) from Columbia County to Dade County. We agree and reverse. Williams sued Union, alleging that Union issued to Andrew Jackson an automobile liability insurance policy for the policy period of April 8, 1986, to April 8, 1987, and that she was injured by Jackson's negligent operation of an automobile in Columbia County on May 25, 1986, while the policy was still in full forcethat venue belongs in Dade County because it is a Florida corporation whose principal and only place of business is Dade County. Further, Union likens this action to a declaratory relief action to determine coverage under the insurance policy, and contends that because the policy in question was executed and cancelled in Dade County, the proper venue is Dade County. Union *456 maintains that it will defend, moreover, on the grounds that it cancelled the policy before the accident when Jackson's check for the premium was returned for insufficient funds. The plaintiff has the prerogative of selecting venue; and so long as that selection is one of the statutory alternatives, it will not be disturbed. The party seeking to change venue has the burden of demonstrating that the plaintiff's

similar resolution, I remarked on Indonesia's accomplishments in the past year: President Suharto relinquished power; the Indonesian Government endorsed a vote on autonomy; and the United Nations, Portugal and Indonesia signed agreed on the procedures for that vote. There has been more progress in the past month. Democratic elections have [[Page S7866]] been held, the first members of an international observer mission and police force arrived in East Timor, and Nobel laureate Jose Romos Horta was invited to return to Jakarta for the first time in 24 years. A year ago few people would have predicted that a settlement of East Timor's future would be in sight. However, there is deep concern that August 21st is quickly approaching, and the violence in East Timor will make a free and fair vote impossible. In fact, the vote, initially scheduled for August 8th, was postponed bythe United Nations until August 21st because of the violence. Hundreds of civilians have been killed, injured, or disappeared in ongoing violence by anti-independence militias armed by members of the Indonesian military who want to sabotage the vote. Human rights monitors and humanitarian organizations continue to face problems gaining access to the island, and members of the press have been threatened. This amendment calls on the administration to immediately intensify its efforts to prevail upon the Indonesian Government to disarm and disband the anti-independence militias, grant full access to humanitarian organizations, and allow Timorese who have been living in exile to return home. It directs the United State executive directors to international financial institutions to use their influence to encourage the Indonesian Government and military to create a stable and secure environment for the vote. We should use all the resources at our disposal

subsidiary Mosenergo will be transferred to the city government in the reform. In return, the city will give some of its own utility assets to Mosenergo successor companies. But analysts said the real price was the influential mayor's backing for draft legislation that is needed to set the complex electricity reform measures in law. The bills passed a first reading in October after Luzhkov's allies agreed to back them. Its crucial second reading has been delayed several times, and centrist legislators have said they doubt it will pass this month. St. Petersburg has already built distribution grids that bypass Lenenergo's power lines. From Moscow Times, Russia, by Konstantin Trifonov, 13 January 2003 Bulgaria Presents Russia with New Privatization Plan for Energy Sector The Bulgarian government has presented Russia with a new plan for privatizing the Bulgarian energy sector. According to the Bulgarian cabinet's press office, the planwould provide tax breaks for Russian energy companies working in Bulgaria. The plan is expected to be examined at a meeting of the joint Russian-Bulgarian commission on privatization at the end of April. According to the Bulgarian government, a number of branches of the country's economy are currently undergoing a profound economic crisis, which can only be overcome with the help of foreign investment. From Rosbalt, Russia, 24 January 2003 Ramezanzadeh: Government firm on expediting privatization Tehran - The government is expediting its 'logical' drive for privatization despite infrastructural bottlenecks and bureaucratic maze and is firm on proceeding with the program. "Executive operations for privatization and ceding the shares of state-run companies got off to a sluggish start at the beginning of the current Iranian year (on March 21, 2002) and has gained momentum in recent months; and the trend is justifiable," said government spokesman Abdollah

loss of identity, and disintegration of the family and community. The takeover represents what many Americans believed would occur in a Communist invasion.” Following the end of the Second World War and the dawn of the atomic age, the relationship between the western superpowers and the soviet-union had turned tense. This cold war wasn’t fought exclusively with weapons, but it was waged on political, economic and propaganda fronts. The biggest of these fronts was the space race between the USA and the USSR. A means to capture not only the publics imagination, but to show the industrial prowess of their respective countries. That rocket technology that destroyed so many cities could feasibly send a man to the moon. The first country to pull it off would be considered the superior power. You can understand why the United States could be a paranoid wreck in these trying times. Not onlytime by trading the cold, skeuomorphic presentation of the older games for something warmer and more tangible. This is low-fi sci-fi, rendered in all the attention to detail the developers showed in their Bioshock work. This military base isn’t just abstract representation, it's a warm and smoky theater, with enormous reel by reel computers and glorious laboratories. An ashtray on every desk, a hat on every stand. Even when compared to its peers at the time, as an Unreal Engine 3 game it holds up incredibly well, especially in scenes where art direction is fully at the wheel. Tying it all together is a soundtrack by Bioshock composer Garry Schyman, that trades the rousing military sound of Enemy Unknown for tense jazz percussion. It all forms together to form what is essentially an XCOM period piece, fitting for its more story driven approach. Being a Period Piece works out

Background: Ruins of a Roman village located in the central Golan heights. The village, identified as Sogana, was fortified by Josephus Flavius during the Jewish revolt against the Romans (67AD). Location: The site is located on the south side of road #87 (Katzerin to BethSaida). It is easily accessed form this road. The ancient village is situated on the Yehudiye creek, and is close to the Zavitan creek on its north side. History: Middle Bronze period Around the site is a large number of Dolmens (prehistoric megalith tombs), indicating that this area was populated during the early middle bronze period (about 30 Century BC). The tombs may have been of nomad tribes who buried their dead in central holy places such as the area of Yehudiye. Hellenistic and early Roman The area of the southern Golan heights saw a dramatic increase in the number of Jewish villages inthe end of the 1st Century BC, at the times of King Herod, from virtually none - to 20 or more villages. The reason was due the fact that King Herod received the area from Augustus Caesar and relocated Jewish settlers to this area in order to populate his new territories. This site was probably one of the Jewish villages that were established at this time. A number of carved stones with Jewish symbols - including a five-branched menorah - were found in the village, which may have been part of a synagogue. The villages were based on agriculture: fruits, sheep and crops. They were established in sites with sources of water (natural springs), since the Golan heights are like a desert and the summer is very hot and dry. Revolts against the Romans During the great revolt against the Romans (66-74AD)

what would become Cape Town but it did not treat all under its rule well and many children of the settlers were born into indentured servitude. Seeking a life beyond the VOC a group known as the Trekboer set out beyond the borders of the Cape Colony in search of a free, semi-nomadic farming life in the country's interior. They were joined by the first of the Voortrekkers in 1836 a larger group that would eventually form the basis Swedish: Vid den här tiden var resten av landet bara bebott av Khoisa-folket, en urgammal nomadisk grupp som brukade landet långt innan de svarta stammarna migrerade söderut; modern tid; KwaZulu-Natal. VOC gjorde sitt första inköp av mark från Khoisa-folket 1671 och etablerade Kapkolonin i områdena kring vad som skulle bli Kapstaden. Men inte alla i kolonin blev behandlade bra. Många av bosättarnas barn föddes in i livegenskap. På jakt efter ett liv utanof good faith the King invited Retief and a band of his men to witness a special performance put on by his soldiers. There was no show. Instead the soldiers restrained Retief and marched him and 100 of his men to a bridge where they were beaten to death leaving Retief for last so he would be forced to watch the murder of his men and his son before he himself was killed. Dingane went on to massacre Retief's entire encampment including hundreds of women, children and many Khoisan people who had travelled alongside the Voortrekkers.

and Materialism This message from the Hopi underlines one of the great conflicts of our age: the separation between the spiritual world and the materialistic world. In Western societies, science is accepted as the final authority on the materialistic world. Scientists take the place of priests in medieval times, telling us about the age of our universe, how it was created, the nature of matter, and even the nature of life itself. The spiritual world has been relegated in the West to periodic rituals and diminishing Church attendance in the older established religions. There has been a backlash from fundamentalist religion, which challenges the scientific world-view head on, but is often viewed by the establishment intelligentsia as extremist and atavistic. There seems to be no place in science for a God, and no place in religion for modern science. The twoso embittered that he later remarked, referring to these establishment scientists:"Science advances funeral by funeral."Today it has been largely forgotten that Charles Darwin, who advanced the Theory of Evolution, endured white-hot hatred from opponents, who felt he was attacking the Bible's version of creation. And few today realize that even Albert Einstein, the widely hailed genius of twentieth-century physics, was very slow in being recognized. His Theory of Relativity encountered very little acceptance for many years, and seventeen years later, when he received the Nobel Prize, it was for his work on the photoelectric effect and "other contributions to theoretical physics." Even then, his revolutionary theories of space and time were not accepted by many physicists. Four hundred years ago, the intellectual establishment had more persuasive methods of preserving the old paradigm. When Galileo advanced his new theory of gravity and acceleration, which

the earliest steps are taken, but not all five. Perhaps an agreement is made, but it never becomes binding. Or perhaps there's a well-written law or regulation at the national level, but there's lax enforcement at the provincial or city level. A few weeks ago, the Commerce Department and the office of the U.S. Trade Representative welcomed Vice Premier Wang Qishan and other leading Chinese officials for the 21st Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, where we worked through a variety of specific trade issues. It was a productive meeting. Vice Premier Wang and his team were responsive to our concerns and they pledged action in a variety of areas critical to American businesses. They agreed to remove administrative and regulatory barriers discriminating against American companies selling everything from industrial machinery and telecom devices; to those that restrict U.S. participation in the development of large-scale wind farmsthe facts as follows. On January 13, 1988 the United States Navy awarded MDC and General Dynamics Corporation ("GDC") Contract No. N00019-88-C-0050 (the "A-12 Contract") for the full scale engineering development, with limited production options, of the Advanced Tactical Aircraft, later designated the A-12. The A-12 Contract was a fixed-price incentive contract with a target price of $4,379,219,435. On May 31, 1990 the Navy exercised its option to purchase six Lot 1 initial production aircraft at the not-to-exceed price in the A-12 Contract. On January 7, 1991 the Navy terminated the A-12 Contract for default based on the contractors' failure to make progress toward completing the design, development, fabrication, assembly, and testing of the aircraft within the contract schedule and in accordance with the contract specifications.

after the Makombo massacre, once the LRA had crossed the Uele River,[71] although this information is, at best, only partial. By mid-February 2010, the Congolese army had registered 35 adults and 5 children from Makombo and Tapili who had managed to escape the LRA following their abduction. The youngest was eight years old.[72] Many others remain with the LRA. Protection arrives too late Congolese army soldiers based near Niangara were informed of the attack in the Makombo area on December 16, 2009. The armed forces sent soldiers to the area, but since the units were traveling on foot they arrived too late.[73] After marching for two days, a small unit of Congolese soldiers arrived at Mabanga Ya Talo on December 18, 2009, after the LRA and their captives had already crossed the Uele River.[74] Without access to boats to cross the river orcommunications equipment to inform their superior officers of what had happened, the Congolese army soldiers were unable to pursue the LRA. The soldiers helped to bury 17 bodies found near the market area and returned to Niangara to seek reinforcements.[75] Ugandan soldiers based in Nambia, just north of Niangara, were also informed about the attack in the Makombo area and on December 16 sent an “intelligence squad” to the area to pursue the LRA. An official communication from the Ugandan Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence to Human Rights Watch on March 17, 2010, said Ugandan soldiers were unable to track the LRA, despite exchanges with the Congolese army about satellite coordinates for the affected area and multiple efforts to find the exact spot where the LRA had crossed the Uele River.[76] The Ugandan Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence said that the Ugandan

replied, with a smile, "is understood all over the world." Mozart was really concerned at the thought of parting with his brother composer, to whom he stood almost in the relation of a son. When it came to the actual farewell, the tears sprang to his eyes, and he said affectingly: "This is good-bye; we shall never meet again." The words proved prophetic. A year later, Mozart was thrown with a number of paupers into a grave which is now as unknown as the grave of Moliere. Haydn deeply lamented his loss; and when his thoughts came to be turned homewards towards the close of his English visit his saddest reflection was that there would be no Mozart to meet him. His wretched wife had tried to poison his mind against his friend by writing that Mozart had beenrefunded within the year. In order to provide for his wife during his absence he sold his house at Eisenstadt, the gift of Prince Nicolaus, which had been twice rebuilt after being destroyed by fire. Salomon sent advance notices of the engagement to London, and on the 30th of December the public were informed through the Morning Chronicle that, immediately on his arrival with his distinguished guest, "Mr Salomon would have the honour of submitting to all lovers of music his programme for a series of subscription concerts, the success of which would depend upon their support and approbation." Before leaving for London Haydn had a tiff with the King of Naples, Ferdinand IV, who was then in Vienna. The composer had taken him some of the works which he had been commissioned to write, and His Majesty, thanking him

can’t hide their secrets. I looked back towards the doors I had entered through, remembering that I had left the warm jacket I had brought for the journey in the back of the car. A version of me looked back from the smooth, even glass. She was washed out in the pale blue light but looked trim and taut. Her breasts continued to defy gravity, sitting front and centre on her chest, just like the magazines said they ought to. The dark glossy hair I had dyed and dragged back tight into a ponytail helped old, tired eyes look bright, despite feeling anything but. Despite my best efforts life had carved its stories into my face. I hated the way they exposed me. I had applied all the petrochemicals they said I should, but those bastard lines still gave me away. I pictured Steve bearing down.to fix this sudden and complete mental anguish by flooding my system with a cocktail of hormones that made me shake and thump.   All I had ever wanted was to protect her...   The biggest gift I could have been given in that moment was oblivion but in what I wish I could say was a final act of cruelty my body kept me alert, clearing the encroaching ink and bringing my hearing back to full clarity just in time for me to become aware of a distant squeal that grew and grew and grew before adding a deep and increasing rumble to its suddenly terrible chorus. My eyes focused down the track in the direction of the noise which was now not over there, but all around me. My gaze followed the burning train as it tore into the station, tilted to the left, grinding metal

men, to use the fine figure of D’Aubigné, forsaking the precious perfume of faith, bowed down before the empty vessel that had contained it. The influence of Constantine seems to have been fraught with more of evil than of good to the new religion that he espoused. He appears to have adopted the Christian name from expediency rather than from conviction, and, stained with the kindred blood of wife and son and nephew, ill deserves the title of Saint, bestowed in fulsome adulation by a venal church. Even the priests of the false gods, aghast with horror at his crimes, exclaimed, “There is no expiation for deeds like these.” He used both pagans and Christians, both orthodox and 121 heretics, as instruments for his political purposes. His object seems to have been rather toD. 369 the proportions are equal. During the next two years hardly any notices of burials _above_ ground appear, but after that subterranean crypts fell rapidly into disuse.”[196] It is a remarkable circumstance, here indicated, that in the years A. D. 370 and 371 a sudden and general return to subterranean sepulture took place. This change has been very satisfactorily explained by the contemporary history of the Catacombs. Great injury had already been inflicted on these ancient sepulchres by the practice which had become prevalent of erecting basilicas, more or less sumptuous, over the tombs of the illustrious martyrs of the age of persecution.[197] As the ecclesiastical authorities shrank from disturbing their remains it became the custom to excavate the ground down to the level of their 123 graves. As these were often in the lower levels of

British were repulsed with ( 23 ) heavy loss of life. General Louis Botha, the Boer commandant, proved to be more than a match for the Sandhurst trained officers of Queen Victoria’s army. Yet the Boers were dismayed by the slaughter. The Boers heard the British general remark that he was a finding himself in a position subordinate to the Boers, whom he despised and detested as inferiors. Wauchope fell for the Boer trick. He told his commander that the main Boer position was on top of Magersfontien Hill. The three crack Scottish regiments, Black Watch, Seaforth Highlanders and Argyles, were to storm the hill at dawn. At 3 am three thousand of Britain’s finest moved out of their base camp toward the Magersfontien Hill, six miles away. The African heat was fierce, and as had often happened, several of the troopscollapsed from heat and sun stroke. Behind the troops came the British artillery, five batteries in all. The Highlanders had covered their bright buttons and tartan with khaki. As is common in Africa, the weather changed, and a sleety rain began to fall. The soldiers carried no coats so they got soaked. About three miles from the Magersfontein Hill, a halt was called, and camp made for the night, right out in the open, with no shelter of any kind. Wauchope rode back to give final briefing to Lord Methuen, who decided to hold back the Guards and 9th Brigade as reserves. Meanwhile the British artillery began the biggest bombardment up to that time, against what they thought was the Boer positions on top of Magersfontein Hill. For the rest of the afternoon, the dust and red dirt thrown

Robert Lyon died on October 9, 1904 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery in McKees cx Rocks. Andrew Fulton (1884-1887) The affable Andrew Fulton was born on December 21, 1850. He was tall, strong and well-built. Most Pittsburghers called him "Andy." The Fulton family were in the foundry business. The Fulton Foundry cast the fire bell, which hung at the old City Hall. Presently, the bell is housed at the Pittsburgh Regional History Center. Fulton was elected a City Councilman in 1879. The Western Penitentiary was completed while Fulton was Mayor. After his term, he went to Colorado to raise horses. Throughout the remainder of his life, he secured either city of county political appointments. Fulton died February 7, 1925, of pneumonia, while working as a County Sealer of weights and measures. Andrew Fulton is buried in Allegheny Cemetery. William McCallin (1887-1890) McCallin was bornin Mercer County on August 8, 1942. His family operated a thriving livery enterprise. His political victories included election as County Coroner and later, Sheriff in 1881. Mayor McCallin's administration was known for prolific construction of Public Works. Schenley Park was opened in 1889. The first successful mold of aluminum was cast during Mayor McCallin's term. He died of dropsy on September 4, 1904 and is buried in Homewood Cemetery. Henry I. Gourley (1890-1893) Henry Irvin Gourley was born on October 3, 1838, in Juniata County. Due to family financial hardship, young Henry was sent to work on a farm in Pine Township, Allegheny County. Gourley was admired for his capacity for hard work. He became a renowned school teacher. Elected public service beckoned him in 1876 when he was elected to Council. Mayor Gourley's administration was famous for it's impeccable honesty. He died

was charged in a third superceding indictment with conspiring to distribute heroin, distributing heroin, maintaining a residence for the purpose of distributing heroin, possessing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and attempted murder. Jury selection began on November 22, 2010. There were two African American members of the venire panel; panel member 0174 and panel member 0191. During voir dire, the Government exercised peremptory challenges to strike both of these panel members. Handy, who is also African American, raised a timely Batson objection to the striking of panel member 0191. See Batson, 476 U.S. at 89 (holding the Equal Protection Clause prohibits the prosecution from exercising a peremptory challenge to exclude a prospective juror because of the juror’s race). In response to the objection, the Government offered thefollowing four reasons for striking panel member 0191: [Panel member 0191] initially indicated that her son had gotten in trouble for—she believed it was marijuana—she said it was a drug case. She went on to explain that her—his friends had drugs at the apartment. There was a bust, and that he was in trouble. She indicated there was a consequence of community service, but seemed unwilling to accept his guilt in that, despite the fact that he has a consequence. Next, actually, she and [panel member 0059] made unequivocal

vivisection quickly emerged as an important tool for the study of anatomical structures and their functioning. Remarkably, Galenís teachings on human anatomy, which were widely used by physicians and scientists for nearly 1500 years, were derived from animal dissections and external examinations of the human body--he conducted no human autopsies. Later, as modern scientific principles were increasingly incorporated into the study of human physiology, physician-researchers such as Andrea Vesalius and William Harvey continued to employ animal vivisection in their investigations of the functioning of various anatomical structures, particularly the heart and lungs. Throughout this historical period, few philosophical or moral objections were voiced regarding the use of animals in biomedical studies. This is perhaps surprising for two reasons. First, anesthetics were poorly understood and rarely used in animal vivisections. Second, the medical benefits of using animals in research were at best ambiguousduring this period. Although both of these considerations would appear to argue strongly against the use of animals in research, there was clear moral consensus that the practice of animal vivisection was not unethical. A Changing Moral Landscape In the early and mid 19th century, this moral consensus becomes less clear. The availability of general anesthetics and the increasingly popularity of domestic pets (particularly in England), fueled anti-vivisection sentiments. By 1865, these reformist sentiments had become strong enough to prompt a response by the medical establishment. In his work, Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine, Claude Bernard was among the first to advance a moral argument in support of the use of animals in research. Arguing that the sacrifice of animals lives was essential to the advancement of medicine, and thus the relief of human suffering and extension of human life,

The Metro map gets a fresh look, with new rush hour service called “Rush+” highlighted, showing new service on the Yellow, Blue, Orange and Green line lines. For the first time, riders will be able to catch a rush hour Yellow Line train at Springfield and ride it straight into the downtown core of the District. There will be more service on the Orange Line during rush hours, including some trains that will go to and from Largo Town Center. The Silver Line also makes its first appearance on the map, and overly long station names will be simplified and cleaned up. The new Rush+ service will improve

slavery in Surinam, in Brazil, in the Southern States of North America. Direct slavery is just as much the pivot of bourgeois industry as machinery, credits, etc. Without slavery you have no cotton; without cotton you have no modern industry. It is slavery that gave the colonies their value; it is the colonies that created world trade, and it is world trade that is the precondition of large-scale industry. Thus slavery is an economic category of the greatest importance. Without slavery North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe North America off the map of the world, and you will have anarchy – the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization. Cause slavery to disappear and you will have wiped America off the map of nations.[*1] Thus slavery, because it is an economic category,has always existed among the institutions of the peoples. Modern nations have been able only to disguise slavery in their own countries, but they have imposed it without disguise upon the New World. What would M. Proudhon do to save slavery? He would formulate the problem thus: preserve the good side of this economic category, eliminate the bad. Hegel has no problems to formulate. He has only dialectics. M. Proudhon has nothing of Hegel's dialectics but the language. For him the dialectic movement is the dogmatic distinction between good and bad. Let us for a moment consider M. Proudhon himself as a category. Let us examine his good and bad side, his advantages and his drawbacks. If he has the advantage over Hegel of setting problems which he reserves the right of solving for the greater good of humanity, he has the

The victim cried during the change, but soon fell back asleep. The next morning, the mother took the victim to a medical office in Somerville, Massachusetts, where Dr. Carole Allen, the director of pediatrics, examined the victim. The victim's vaginal area was blistered, her anal area was red, and she appeared to be in pain. After consulting with the victim's primary care physician, Dr. Allen formed the opinion that the victim had been raped. At Dr. Allen's suggestion, the mother took the victim to Children's Hospital, wherethe victim was seen at approximately 10:30 p.m. by a team of physicians that included Dr. Alice Newton, the medical director of the child protection team at Children's Hospital. The team examined and photographed the victim, and determined that there were second- and third-degree burns on the victim's genitals and anus.

Internal examination revealed that the burns extended almost an inch inside the victim's anus, and that there were three tears

the peculiar features of the royal palaces; and certainly that year, in the intoxication of their prospects, they must have considered the palatial odours very acceptable. It did not agree with their frame of mind to note that the always gloomy palace was more than usually dismal. Anne of Austria had been struck to the heart by the pregnancy of her sister-in-law. She had been married twelve years and she no longer dared to cherish the hope of an heir. She felt that she was sinking into oblivion. Her enemies had begun to insinuate that her usefulness was at an end and that she had no reason for clinging to life. The Queen of France lived so eclipsed a life that to the world she was nothing but a pretty woman with a complexion of milk and roses. The peoplehe saw me he told me that that spiritual alliance obliged him to take care of me, and that he would arrange a marriage for me (a discourse that he addressed to me, talking just as they do to children to whom they incessantly repeat the same thing)." A journey through France, which she made in 1637, "put balm on the wounds of her pride." They chanted the _Te Deum_, the Army Corps saluted her, a city was illuminated, and the nobility offered her fêtes. She "swam in joy"; for thus she had always thought that the appearance of a person of her quality should be hailed.

REUTERS/Eddie Keogh By Jemima Kelly LONDON (Reuters) - Headhunter firms should do more to help boost the number of women sitting on British boards, including compiling a list of "board-ready women," a government-backed review said on Tuesday. The independent review by Charlotte Sweeney, a diversity consultant, made 10 recommendations to increase the number of women on the boards of Britain's biggest companies. "The headhunting community is a crucial catalyst to introduce more capable women in the boardroom," said Business Secretary Vince Cable, who commissioned the review. "However, they can often be one of the first hurdles that talented, board-ready women face when trying to reach the

a house of cards. The evidence of the working of grace was such that all were convinced that this could have no human explanation. Military and civil heads of the contra-revolution were almost unanimous in attributing this victory to a special grace of the Blessed Virgin. Many declared that the Rosary had been the decisive arm. Faced with this perilous situation, Catholic associations had put all their efforts in the service of the Blessed Virgin. Two hundred thousand men and lads, enrolled in the 2,000 Marian congregations, had formed a true pacifying army in the struggle for freedom. Women had given the example by their courage and confidence in Our Lady. They contributed enormously to the failure of the Marxist Revolution of 1964. They, and their children, distributed thousands of brochures with this supplication: "Mother of God, protect us and spare usfrom new sufferings ..." Women passed in the streets, reciting the Rosary out loud and singing songs. On March 17, 1964, the "March of the Family for Freedom, with the Help of God", was organized. Every week, the Cardinal Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro put Catholics on their guard, demanding of them prayer and penance according to the spirit of Fatima, in order to obtain the mercy of God by the intercession of Our Lady. While it is true that many problems remain in this great country, it is equally true that on March 31, 1964, without armed conflict, and without any blood being spilt, the hour of freedom and peace sounded.Footnotes:1.

see you president of the Baptist convention!" Elmer still did not like Eddie, but he was making much now of ignoring Jim Lefferts (they met on the street and bowed ferociously), and he had to have some one to play valet to his virtues. The ex-minister dean of the college urged him. Where could Elmer find a profession with a better social position than the ministry--thousands listening to him--invited to banquets and everything. So much easier than--Well, not exactly easier; all ministers worked arduously--great sacrifices--constant demands on their sympathy--heroic struggle against vice--but same time, elegant and superior work, surrounded by books, high thoughts, and the finest ladies in the city or country as the case might be. And cheaper professional training than law. With scholarships and outside preaching, Elmer could get through the three years of Mizpah Theological Seminary on almost nothing ayear. What other plans HAD he for a career? Nothing definite? Why, looked like divine intervention; certainly did; let's call it settled. Perhaps he could get Elmer a scholarship the very first year-- His mother urged him. She wrote, daily, that she was longing, praying, sobbing-- Elmer urged himself. He had no prospects except the chance of reading law in the dingy office of a cousin in Toluca, Kansas. The only things he had against the ministry, now that he was delivered from Jim, were the low salaries and the fact that if ministers were caught drinking or flirting, it was often very hard on them. The salaries weren't so bad--he'd go to the top, of course, and maybe make eight or ten thousand. But the diversions--He thought about it so much that he made a hasty trip to Cato, and came

State Chamber Receives Grant for Bioinformatics Center State Chamber Receives Grant for Bioinformatics Center Article excerpt The State Chamber has received a $47,000 federal grant to develop a National Bioinformatics Collaboration Center in Oklahoma, which could create 40,000 new jobs. Bioinformatics, one of the fastest-growing fields in the biological sciences, accelerates the research and development process by identifying patterns in research data. According to Business Week magazine, bioinformatics is projected to grow into a $43 billion industry by 2004. However, the development of the industry is hampered by the inability of research centers, working with separate, incompatible databases, to freely exchange information. Bioinformatics offers the opportunity to create sustainable, high- salaried jobs and wealth not seen since the days of the oil boom, said Rudy Alvarado, chairman of The State Chamber's board of directors. The ability of scientists to intelligently convert research information into valuable knowledge hasphone numbers by employing in-house researchers who would find numbers by consulting telephone books and calling directory-assistance operators. In 1976, DialAmerica initiated its home-researcher program as a method of increasing its capacity to locate needed telephone numbers. Under the program, persons would travel to DialAmerica's office in Teaneck and pick up cards, each of which contained the name and address of a subscriber whose telephone number was needed. They would then take these cards home, use telephone books or operators to locate the telephone numbers of the persons listed, write the numbers on the cards in a specified manner, and then return the completed cards to DialAmerica's office. The home-research program remained in effect until 1982, when it was discontinued. 4 In June 1979, DialAmerica began

or practically belying the virtues to which he was naturally inclined; or committing the vices to which he had no other propensity than was induced by the knowledge that they would make him the talk and the wonder of the world. He frequently indulged the cant of misanthropy, when his heart really felt the slightest appeal to its compassion; he would disparage Christianity, sneer at all future hope, and treat the notion of another life with scorn, and all the while tremble in secret at the apprehension of the terrors which death might disclose. He did not hate his enemies with half 98 Critical Notices. the malignity which he pretended. His friends he allured into his confidence, and betrayed them the next moment to derision and contempt; and as for his love, it was neither the impulse of passion norhim into a being that all might admire, and safely trust, and highly esteem, and which would have rendered his biography an instructive portraiture of all that is great, and noble, and virtuous, it is not for us to divine. Had his mother been a Lady Blessington, or had this highly-gifted woman, or such an one, stood in a still more endearing relation to him, and at an early period of his life, we believe that both his character and his fame, his genius and its influence, would have reflected nothing but honour on his country, and that his aristocratic birth and dignity, even in his own estimation, would have been among the meanest of his distinctions. From the intimacy which subsisted between the fair reporter of these conversations and the noble poet, we have some confidence in

Sean's Boxing Jacket Last Update: 10 May 2003 On 12 March 2003, Sean was the judge at a charity boxing event held at Handsworth Working Men's Club. He later acted as the "wash-down man" for his mate Farx Fairchild, who battled organiser Glyn Rhodes in the ring. Sean had a special Team Bean jacket made for the event, which he donated to Dinah, a Sheffield-area resident, with the express wish that the jacket be used to raise money for a worthy cause. Dinah donated the jacket to her neighbour, Donna, who, in spite of a number of serious and debilitating health problems, is keenly involved in raising money to fund her son, Matthew, a figure-skater who has won silver in the British Solo Championships, bronze in the British Championships, and Gold in the Welsh Championships twice.

part, understands the need to, at a minimum, not anger the closest thing it has to a friend. It’s all too familiar with the cost of losing an ally. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, North Korea suffered a devastating famine which ultimately killed somewhere between 200,000 and three million people. Before this, food was distributed via its Public Distribution System - PDS - which had farmers surrender their harvest to the government, who then allocated it amongst the population. This model worked well during the 50s, 60s, and 70s, even making Chinese towns on the border jealous. In the 80s and 90s, however, the system came violently crashing down. 450 grams of food rations per day in 1994 became 128 grams by 1997. Soon only six percent of the population received any food from the government who promised to feed it. This, arguably, was the most pivotalcountries: the North Korea seen by the outside world, and the one lived by the vast majority of its population. The North Korea of tall buildings and bright lights you see in tours and pictures, and the one, only minutes away, of sprawling fields and flickering, if any, electricity. The famous monument to socialism, and the private shops selling Western clothes only blocks away. And, finally, an unwavering ally, on the surface, who, in reality, is, at best, ambivalent. For now, the system works. Inevitably, though, someday in the future, like the Soviet-era machines on which its factories run, North Korea will simply stop working - for any number of potentially trivial reasons. In truth, it’s remarkable how long it has worked. But, for the time being, this taped-together, occasionally-in-need-of-kicking, jury-rigged machine keeps slowly, inefficiently chugging along. For all of its strangeness, the genius of North Korea, the reason for its survival -

nature of his creation is then described, and praised for its beauty and perfection, while recognizing that there are other aspects of existence beyond those embodied in his creation. In an infinite universe, it is impossible to describe all aspects of existence within any particular system. The magician then asserts that men are also creative gods, within their own spheres of activity. He calls upon the God of the Tablets to lend his force to the task of raising men to their rightful place in the hierarchy of creators. Finally the magician asserts his own power as a creator, whose work is united with that of the God of the Tablets. He asks that god to bless his work in each of the five elemental modes. The language of this section was provided to the author by some of the non-short, and its language is consistent in style with the rest of the ceremony. The magician should feel free to substitute other language as genius dictates. 8. With this point, the preliminaries are over, and we begin the construction of the Temple. The magician should be familiar with the form and symbolism of the Temple, and able to maintain a visualization of it without effort. The structure of the Temple should be maintained in the astral vision throughout the rest of the ceremony. At first, it should appear just as a skeleton of itself. As each force of the Tablet is invoked, the corresponding part of the Temple should begin to glow with the appropriate color. The Temple should be large enough so that each pillar is positioned at the center of one of the outer four circles in the area

2 Sec. 6166(a) allows an estate electing under that section to pay the tax due in installments over a 10-year period after a 5-year deferral.  - 5 - In September 2003, respondent notified the estate that he had received the estate’s notice of election. Respondent stated that because of the election, the estate was required to either post a bond, or in lieu of a bond, elect to provide a special lien under section 6324A. By letter dated September 8, 2004, the estate requested denied. The estate filed its petition for a declaratory judgment under section 7479 on March 23, 2005. In its petition, the estate seeks a redetermination of respondent’s denial of the election and a judgment that it was entitled to the election. The petition, inter alia, alleges that respondent erred by  - 8 - determining not to exercise his discretion to allow an election under section 6166. The estate also alleges that respondent erred by requiring the estate to provide a bond or a special lien in order to qualify for the election.

of any man but one, the Veteran asserted that he was able to identify the three men as both African-Americans and as fellow Marines from another unit. Moreover, in his early accounts, the Veteran did not recount any instances in which the individuals said anything to him, such as any threats, and reported that they left after the Veteran talked to them. However, in an October 2008 statement, the Veteran stated that the men threatened to cut off his head and, upon leaving, despite finding out that they had the wrong individual, told him that they would be "back to finish the job." As the Veteran's story has changed so dramatically over the pendency of this appeal, contains many implausible details such as the ability to identify the individuals race and unit in a dark room, is not corroborated by theat 190. The Veteran has stated that he has experienced symptomatology of a psychiatric disorder, in particular hypervigilance, since service. His wife also submitted a statement, indicating that the Veteran experienced symptomatology based on the in-service assault. However, the Board again notes that the accounts of the Veteran and his wife were based on symptomatology arising from memories of the in-service assault which the Board finds did not occur. Therefore, the Board finds them to lack credibility in this matter. Parenthetically, the Board also notes that the Veteran's accounts of post-service symptomatology are so inconsistent as to lack credibility. In the first record of treatment, dated April 2006, the Veteran stated that he had recently started to feel anxiety when he stopped drinking two years prior. He said that he woke up, feeling a knife at his throat, but specifically denied any hallucinations. Inconsistent

administrative tribes. In others, tribes were designated arbitrarily – or ‘invented’, as Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger meant the term in The Invention of Tradition (1983). The common aspect of all these cases is that tribe was everywhere an administrative unit during the colonial period, and tribal identity an officially designated administrative identity. The system of native administration and indirect rule transformed cultural identity into political identity, and ethnicity into tribe. When the British defeated the Mahdiyya in Sudan in 1899, the Sultanate of Dar Fur became a de facto British protectorate, more or less in the fashion of many of the princely states in India. When they went on to establish direct control in 1916, they made the province a centrepiece of their strategy in Sudan. The thrust of British policy in Darfur can be summed up in one word:tribalisation, the bedrock of native administration and indirect rule. It was intended as the antidote to Mahdism. The province was parcelled into a series of homelands, or dars, each identified with a tribe administratively tagged as native. The dar was considered to be the homeland of its native tribe. No matter for how many generations non-natives had been in one or another part of Darfur, they qualified as immigrants and could only access land as ‘strangers’, which in turn required them to pay a tribute to the native authority. Now that all African land tenure was identified as tribal, all other forms of tenure, including the individual land-holding introduced during the sultanate – the ‘hakura of privilege’ – were rendered obsolete. The hakura system that exists today in Darfur is not a continuation of the land system from the days of

You must go, Maimie, if only to the gate." And Maimie went, but not to turn at even the church hill. For a mile down the concession road Ranald let Lisette jog at an easy pace while he told Maimie some of his aims and hopes. He did not mean to be a farmer nor a lumberman. He was going to the city, and there make his fortune. He did not say it in words, but his tone, his manner, everything about him, proclaimed his confidence that some day he would be a great man. And Maimie believed him, not because it seemed reasonable, or because there seemed to be any ground for histalk Harry came in, and then Mrs. Murray told them about their mother, of her beauty and her brightness and her goodness, but mostly of her goodness. "She was a dear, dear girl," said their aunt, "and her goodness was of the kind that makes one think of a fresh spring morning, so bright, so sweet, and pure. And she was beautiful, too. You will be like her, Maimie," and, after a pause, she added, softly, "And, most of all, she loved her Saviour, and that was the secret of both her beauty and her goodness." "Auntie," said Harry, suddenly, "don't you think you could come to us for a visit? It would do father--I mean it would be such a great thing for father, and for me, too, for us all."

girls with all the temptations of music and decoration served in the temples to complete the vices of priest craft. The kings surrounded themselves with all imaginable pomp, luxury and vice. Nobody cared for the people; we hear nothing of the people when the Mohammedan invaders made their incursion in to the big cities and temples for plunder of the accumulated treasures. The princes kept quarreling among themselves for wealth and women. The Brahmans were sunk deep in the temptations of the temple. We see Mohammedans marching through the country hundreds of miles without anybody opposing them, appearing before the gates of cities and temples, before the authorities got any information, and loaded with rich booty returning unmolested over vast tracts of inhabited area. There seemed to be no government in the land. "The despotic nature of the regime could be noticed also in theemployment by Rajput rulers of large bodies of Mohammedan mercenaries. It was so in Vijayanager too. another Brahman dominated empire. Both in North India and in Vijayanager, the presence of Mohammedan troops in the heart of the Hindu kingdoms, in the employed and confidence of their rules, facilitated the final success of the Mohammedans. What was worse, the soldiers of Islam were invited to invade India, and there were Rajput princes to help them in their conquest of the country. The four chief royal houses of North India were Delhi, Chittor, Kanouj and Gujrat. The last two kings sided with Mohammedans until they became undisputed masters of the situation. Raja Jaichand of Kanouj is said to have invited Shahabuddin to attack Prithvi Raj of Delhi. [Lala Sundar Dass, "Decline and fall of Hindu Empire", p. 25] India fell betrayed by her own princes

from Western press reports that British and American sigint operators had intercepted and decoded the message (as reported by L'Express of Paris) and knew that Teheran was behind the assassination. They realized that their code had been broken, looked to their Crypto AG cipher machines, and picked up Buehler. According to one European source, they may also have been tipped off by Stasi files of the ex-East German regime that found their way to Iran and revealed the Crypto AG ruse. In any case, the Iranians immediately began grilling prisoner 01228-1 about the role he and his company played in giving Iranian and Libyan codes to the US. Iran knew that Bakhtiar's assassination had compromised the intelligence functions of the Iranian UN mission and embassy in Geneva. The NSA had already identified one of the assassins, Mohammed Azadi, from intercepts ofhis phone calls from a pay phone in the town of Annecy in Savoy and an Istanbul apartment to the Iranian diplomatic mission in Geneva. On December 6, 1994, a special French terrorism court convicted two Iranians of murdering Bakhtiar, but strangely, it acquitted Sarhadi. "Justice has not been entirely served [for] reasons of state," complained Bakhtiar's widow bitterly. Those "reasons" may have included a tacit agreement among France, Switzerland, the German BND, and the NSA to spare Sarhadi in order to avoid producing captured transmissions and preserve the questionable secrecy surrounding the Crypto AG cipher manipulation program. It was not only the "rogue states" that were targeted. During the sensitive Anglo-Irish negotiations of 1985, the NSA's British counterpart, the GCHQ, was able to decipher the coded diplomatic traffic being sent between the Irish embassy in London and the Irish Foreign Ministry in

Specifically, relying on respondent's concession that decedent's partnership items converted to nonpartnership items on December 23, 1991, petitioners maintain that Mrs. Callaway's partnership items likewise converted to nonpartnership items at the same time on the ground that she is treated as a Mountain View partner only due to her election to file joint returns with decedent for the years in issue. Following a preliminary review of petitioners' motion, and considering respondent's concessions, the Court issued an order in which the Court sua sponte raised issues respecting the validity of the notices of deficiency for affected items and the Court's jurisdiction in this case. As directed by the Court, the parties subsequently filed status reports, and respondent filed a response in opposition to petitioners' motion. Discussion nonpartnership items. As previously mentioned, respondent was unable to provide the Court with copies of the NBAP's purportedly issued to petitioners respecting Mountain View's 1986 and 1987 taxable years. However, respondent did mail to decedent on February 5, 1991, a NBAP respecting Mountain View's 1988 taxable year. Further, on October 5, 1992, respondent mailed to petitioners  - 21 - copies of the FPAA's respecting Mountain View's taxable years 1986, 1987, and 1988.

Knight testified that he was hanging out with Mayes when Washington called Mayes to help with the robbery and that he only agreed to go along because he was afraid of Mayes, Washington, and Walking- Eagle. Mayes declined to testify. His defense theory was that he had not actually been present at the scene of the crime.5 Hall, the state’s principal witness, suffered some credibility problems. He was high on methamphetamine the night of the crime, he hid the identity of his co-felons during the investigation’s first several months, and he only admitted his own involvement approximately three months after the crime, once police found persuasive evidence implicating him. Hall testified that he knew Walking-Eagle and Washington before the night of the crime, butOnce in the home, Knight stood pointing a gun at Hall by the stairway, and Mayes stood on the other side of the room. Mayes and Knight later switched places so that Mayes was the one pointing the gun at Hall by the staircase. • At some point, Walking-Eagle went to Loupe’s kitchen to look for drugs. • Both Walking-Eagle and Washington pistol-whipped Conaway.

wanted IMF money in a big way: $20 billion worth. That number was chosen as the arithmetic mean of the $17 billion provided to Thailand and the $23 billion provided to Indonesia. Twenty billion here. Twenty billion there. Pretty soon we're talking real money. But Korean newspapers called the IMF assistance a "national shame" and "a loss of economic sovereignty". Over in Indonesia some of the bankers, still fuming from the failure of South Korea's banks to roll over short-term lines of credit, clapped their hands in glee over Korea's difficulty. In Washington, the IMF's managing director, Michel Camdessus, also rubbed his hands in satisfaction, since handing out money was the source of his social prestige and political power. (If he had looked a little closer to home, the Frenchman Camdessus would have noted that $20 billion was about what the Credit Lyonnais bailout would cost.) But faces weremore sober in certain parts of Japan and Taiwan, especially among exporters who competed with Korean goods. If Korean goods were now cheaper in U.S. dollar terms, these exporters wanted like to see their own goods cheaper also. They began talking about a desireable depreciation of the Japanese yen and the Taiwanese dollar. Twenty billion dollars would be plenty, said the new finance minister Lim Chang-yuel. That was on Friday, Nov. 21. But by Wednesday, Nov. 26, South Korea had decided it really needed about $50 billion. That would make it the biggest IMF bailout in history, bigger than Mexico's. South Korea was looking increasingly like one more basket case. President Kim, Korea's answer to Roger Babson, told the nation the problems were caused by the selfishness of corporate managers and workers. The managers borrowed too much to satisfy their edifice complex. The workers kept insisting on higher wages. Underlying all

Denying the motion to reopen and rescind, the IJ concluded that Indenbaum received proper notice of the hearing because the immigration court sent the hearing notice to the address that he had provided and he had not submitted a change of address. Indenbaum appealed the IJ’s denial of his motion to reopen and rescind. The BIA upheld as not clearly erroneous the IJ’s finding that Indenbaum was not residing at the Keating address when the immigration court issued the hearing notice and the removal order in 2007.

On their return Beatrice was slightly tired, and went straight to her own room. She wrote a long letter to Dora, who must have smiled at her description of Lord Airlie. He was everything that was true, noble, chivalrous, and grand. The world did not hold such another. When the letter was finished it was time to dress for dinner. "Which dress will you wear, miss?" asked the attentive maid. "The prettiest I have," said the young girl, her bright face glowing with the words she had just written. What dress could be pretty enough for him? One was found at last that pleased her--a rich, white crepe. But she would wear no jewels--nothingbut crimson roses. One lay in the thick coils of her dark hair, another nestled against her white neck, others looped up the flowing skirt. Beatrice's toilet satisfied her--this, too, with her lover's fastidious taste to please. She stood before the large mirror, and a pleased smile overspread her face as she saw herself reflected therein. Suddenly she remembered the letter. The morning-dress still hung upon a chair. She took the envelope from the pocket. "Shall you want me again, Miss Earle?" asked her maid. "No," replied Beatrice, breaking the seal; "I am ready now." The girl quitted the room, and Beatrice, standing before the mirror, drew out a long, closely written letter, turning presently, in amazement, to the signature, wondering who could be the writer.

"We are witnessing the start of a new Middle East with the collapse of the (Syrian President Bashar al) Assad regime. We are worried about Jordan and Lebanon," he said. Bandar has headed Saudi Arabia's National Security Council for seven years but has shunned the limelight since leaving his Washington post in 2005. "He's been close to that position heading the National Security Council and is very well aware of the intelligence apparatus. He's also been involved in Saudi security issues of the highest order for the last 10 years," said Robert Jordan, U.S. ambassador to Riyadh from 2001-03. Jordan, who said he worked closely with Prince Bandar during that time, and described him as "the ultimate shuttle diplomat", said the appointment might help strengthen the alliance between Washington andits closest Arab ally. Prince Bandar is a son of the late Crown Prince Sultan, who died last October and had served as defence minister for five decades. In the sprawling ruling family, Sultan was one of seven brothers born to the kingdom's founder by his favourite wife and known collectively as the Sudairis, who formed the strongest power bloc in the House of Saud. The kingdom's new heir apparent, Crown Prince Salman, is also a Sudairi, as is the new Interior Minister Prince Ahmed. The royal decree carried by SPA said outgoing intelligence head Prince Muqrin, the youngest son of the kingdom's founder Abdulaziz ibn Saud, had been appointed a special envoy and adviser to King Abdullah, who is 89. It added that Prince Bandar would retain his role as secretary general of the National Security Council.

Plaintiff was employed as a Schedule A, Excepted Service Attorney at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") from September 2, 1980 to September 16, 1986 when he was terminated for "insubordination." In his complaint filed on December 18, 1986, he alleged that he had a property interest in his continued employment with the Commission and that he was "deprived" of this interest without "due process" because heWASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives on Thursday voted down a measure that would have reauthorized extended unemployment insurance for another three months, leaving no clear path forward to prevent the benefits from lapsing as scheduled on Nov. 30. Without a reauthorization, the Labor Department estimates that two million long-term unemployed will prematurely stop receiving benefits before the end of the year. "I think it's a sad moment," said Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) after the vote. "It appalls me that the Republicans keep pitching and pitching and pitching the tax cuts for the rich and won't join in a bill to help people keep their homes and not have to live in their cars." The bill was brought to the floor under a "suspension of the rules," meaning it required approval

Geography Colombia is bordered on the northwest by Panama, on the east by Venezuela and Brazil, and on the southwest by Peru and Ecuador. Through the western half of the country, three Andean ranges run north and south. The eastern half is a low, jungle-covered plain, drained by spurs of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers, inhabited mostly by isolated tropical-forest Indian tribes. The fertile plateau and valley of the eastern range are the most densely populated parts of the country. Government Republic. History Little is known about the various Indian tribes who inhabited Colombia before the Spanish arrived. In 1510 Spaniards founded Darien, the first permanent European settlement on the American mainland. In 1538 they established the colony of New Granada, the area's name until 1861. After a 14-year struggle, during which time Simón Bolívar's Venezuelan troops won the battle of Boyacá in Colombia on Aug.7, 1819, independence was attained in 1824. Bolívar united Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and Ecuador in the Republic of Greater Colombia (1819–1830), but he lost Venezuela and Ecuador to separatists. Two political parties dominated the region: the Conservatives believed in a strong central government and a powerful church; the Liberals believed in a decentralized government, strong regional power, and a less influential role for the church. Bolívar was himself a Conservative, while his vice president, Francisco de Paula Santander, was the founder of the Liberal Party. Santander served as president between 1832 and 1836, a period of relative stability, but by 1840 civil war had erupted. Other periods of Liberal dominance (1849–1857 and 1861–1880), which sought to disestablish the Roman Catholic Church, were marked by insurrection. Nine different governments followed, each rewriting the constitution. In 1861, the country was called the United States

Moreover, the high response frequency to the ISAAC questionnaire that we used in a confirming sense, both shows the high parental concern understandably given to asthma in their child and ensures a maximal degree of completeness of the data. Conclusion ========== A combination of medical verified asthma diagnosis through medical records and the use of self-reported symptom through the ISAAC questionnaire seem to be valid and reliable measures to follow-up childhood asthma in the local community. The asthma prevalence at the age of ten in the studied birth cohort is considerably higher than previous reports for Sweden. Both the high prevalence figure and allowing the three-year lag phase for further settling of events in the community point at the complementary roles of both hospital and primary care in the comprehensiveAFTER weeks of petitions and negotiation, the administration and the Student Speaker Steering Committee announced Tuesday that Dorot Professor of Holocaust and Modern Jewish Studies Deborah Lipstadt will speak at Commencement. "This was a victory for the entire student body," said College Council President Christopher Richardson, who worked with the SSSC in securing Lipstadt as a speaker. "It upheld an important tradition and bridged a very serious gap between the administration and students." According to University President William M. Chace the Emory professor will speak not as a "keynote" Commencement speaker, but as a "contribution from the Class of 2001 to Commencement." "That was the understanding I had with the student committee," Chace said. But Tuesday Richardson and members of the SSSC announced Lipstadt as the "headline speaker" for Commencement this year. E-mail announcements sent from the group early Wednesday morning bore the subject line "We Have a Keynote Speaker." Obtaining

Unused to the woods and hills, of course the first thing Claude did was to lose all sense of direction. He became alarmed, and that made matters worse than ever. So he had roamed about for almost a full hour, dreadfully tiring his poor feet and limbs, since he had never before in all his life walked so far and done such vigorous climbing. Then he had come to that precipice, and, thinking he might glimpse the cottage where the old nurse lived, somewhere down in the valley, he had incautiously crept too close to the brink, when his weight caused a portion of the soil to give way. Finding himself falling, Claudehad clutched desperately around him, and, as it happened, his fingers gripped a friendly bush, to which he continued to cling even as he struggled to better his condition and shouted as best he was able. Hugh finished the story, to the edification of “Just” Smith, who admitted that if it had not been for the courage and muscular ability of Hugh the other boy must long ago have fallen to the bottom of the awful precipice. And Claude, shivering as he afterwards looked up at the forty feet and more of rocky wall, vowed he would never rest satisfied until he too had learned how to develop his muscles so that if ever again caught in a similar scrape he might have a fighting chance for his life. The two boys eventually found the cottage, although Mrs. Jardine and the car had gone

Vietnamese bishops alarmed by the new religious law Joseph Nguyen Hung - AsiaNews 06/08/2017 The new Law on Beliefs and Religions will come in effect on 1st January 2018. Its ambiguities and contradictions will fuel the "system of asking and granting". The law interferes with the internal affairs of religious communities and establishes tight controls over their activities. The government's views about religion are inadequate. The authorities call on religions to work for the country's growth. The bishops differentiate the concept of nation from that of regime. Hanoi – "The government’s Law on Beliefs and Religions has some innovative and positive points. However, there are many aspects that worry us and alarm us," say Vietnam’s Catholic bishops in a statement that raises doubts about legislation set to come into effect on 1st January 2018. Despite biases and distorted views spread by the government aboutthe Church, Catholic leaders have reiterated their commitment to work with the authorities for the good of the country, but demand their independence from the state. Last June, in a message to the speaker of the National Assembly, Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân, and the 498 members of the legislative body, the Bishops' Conference expressed its views on the last draft of the bill. The bishops also sent their official statement to the faithful in the country’s 26 dioceses, urging them to pray for the good of the nation. The members of five Catholic religious institutes also criticised the new law, which "creates muddled procedures, stifling rules, and a series of constraints that make religious activity impossible." In its letter on 1st June, the Bishops' Conference underlines certain positive aspects of the law, such as the recognition of the right to religion of inmates in

What a Scientist Didn't Tell the New York Times About His Study on Bee Deaths What a Scientist Didn't Tell the New York Times About His Study on Bee Deaths by Katherine Eban Jerry Bromenshenk, bee investigator Few ecological disasters have been as confounding as the massive and devastating die-off of the world's honeybees. The phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) -- in which disoriented honeybees die far from their hives -- has kept scientists, beekeepers, and regulators desperately seeking the cause. After all, the honeybee, nature's ultimate utility player, pollinates a third of all the food we eat and contributes an estimated $15 billion in annual agriculture revenue to the U.S. economy. The long list of possible suspects has included pests, viruses, fungi, and also pesticides, particularly so-called neonicotinoids, a class of neurotoxins that kills insects by attacking their nervous systems. For years,disclose -- was the relationship between the study's lead author, Montana bee researcher Dr. Jerry Bromenshenk, and Bayer Crop Science. In recent years Bromenshenk has received a significant research grant from Bayer to study bee pollination. Indeed, before receiving the Bayer funding, Bromenshenk was lined up on the opposite side: He had signed on to serve as an expert witness for beekeepers who brought a class-action lawsuit against Bayer in 2003. He then dropped out and received the grant. Reporter: scientist "did not volunteer" funding sources Bromenshenk's company, Bee Alert Technology, which is developing hand-held acoustic scanners that use sound to detect various bee ailments, will profit more from a finding that disease, and not pesticides, is harming bees. Two years ago Bromenshenk acknowledged as much to me when I was reporting on the possible neonicotinoid/CCD connection for Conde Nast Portfolio magazine,

with rather unesthetic marks printed on it, and of considerably less use, therefore of less holiness and less romance, than a shirt or a blanket. But to the unprejudiced thinker, like himself, it was a symbol, sacred only by suggestion but not the less sacred. After nearly two decades he knew that he had been fooling himself; that he did not actually admire Jesus as the sole leader; that the teachings of Jesus were contradictory and borrowed from earlier rabbis; and that if the teachings of Christianity were adequate flags, symbols, philosophies for most of the bellowing preachers whom he met and detested, then perforce they must for him be the flags, the symbols, of the enemy. Yet he went on as a Baptist preacher, as a teacher of ministerial cubs. He tried to explain it to Frank Shallard without seeming too shameful. First,he suggested, it was hard for any man, it was especially hard for a teacher of sixty-five, to go back on the philosophy he had taught all his life. It made that life seem too pitifully futile. And he did love to tread theological labyrinths. And, he admitted, as they plodded back through a winter twilight, he was afraid to come out with the truth lest he plain lose his job. Man of learning he was, but too sorry a preacher to be accepted by a liberal religious society, too lumbering a writer for journalism; and outside the world of religious parasitism (his own phrase) he had no way of earning his living. If he were kicked out of Mizpah, he would starve. "So!" he said grimly. "I would hate to see you go through all this, Frank." "But--but--but--What am I to do,

in modern warfare. But at this point in history, it was used with remarkable success by the “stupid peasants,” as Lord Milner described the Boers, to telling effect. On Saturday, December 9th 1899, General Wauchope of the Highland Brigade detailed the plan of attack to his superior officer, Lord Methuen. The British had brought up crates of champagne with which to celebrate the up coming victory. Incidentally, the champagne was a gift from Lord Rothschild, the Jewish banker, who was heavily involved in financing the war (and reaping huge profits) and who stood to control the goldfields if the British won. Wauchope’s plan called for a night march, followed by a dawn attack. ( 21 ) But the British were not sure of where the main Boer forces were positioned. Using the spade, they had dug false fortifications on topof the ridge of hills, where the British could see it. They also sent Boer horsemen up along the skyline just long enough to be seen by Methuen’s forces. A short sharp engagement was the way Wauchope saw it, if Kimberley was to be revealed, and the shrill falsetto of Cecil Rhodes complaints to Queen Victoria ended. Rhodes was still trapped by the Boer forces, along with ten thousand black miners, inside Kimberley, much to his rage and chagrin, at Modder river. They had dug in deep and well, using thorn bushes to completely conceal their positions. The secret weapon, the spade, was about to pay off! The Boers, under the leadership of De La Ray and Cronje waited in their trenches as the leading columns of companies A and B approached them, then when they saw the flicker of

Epistles being letters, he wrote those letters to different churches from prison. And one of the statements that the Apostle Paul made was he said I am bound even unto chains, in other words he was imprisoned much of his life as a Christian, but he said the Word of God is not bound. And I think we really have evidence of that today. Because here he was, he was writing those letters, and he said the Word of God is not bound, and Wanda Kay's got evidence right there with us, there's his letter to the Philippians. His letter to the Ephesians, his letter to the Romans, his letter to the Corinthians, his letter to the Galatians, his letter to Titus, his letters to Timothy. All his letters are right here with us. And certainly he gave us evidence that the word of God is not bound. And so, read that if you would. Here's just prior to hisThursday, February 17, 2005 Today's Herald coverage of the select committee hearings into the Prisoners' and Victims' Claims Bill provides a perfect example of the underlying axioms of those who oppose compensating abused prisoners. Speaking before the committee, Ida Hawkins, the mother of murdered 15-year old Colleen Burrows, opposed compensating her daughter's murderer for the systematic abuse he suffered at the hands of prison guards because: He murdered my daughter ... because my daughter refused to have sex with him. He ran her over and booted her and kicked her all over her body To which my response is that that is precisely why he is in jail - and furthermore, that his conviction does not give others the right to do the same to him, or deprive him of the protection of

If he cared to make one, Henry Irving's reply to his detractors might well be that he has stood the inexorable test of time. Since he first wore his laurels a new and very critical generation has sprung up--a generation that has little or no respect for tradition, that has abundant choice of entertainment, and only cares to pay for what it chooses to see.

Description The city of Drakkel is a large, wealthy and powerful city that holds much political and military power in the south. It is ruled by a group of economic guilds that are united to form a democratic government. Although corrupt, its booming economy has made it a beacon of civilization. Drakkel is the largest of all the cities that form the Drakkellian Alliance and serves as the national capital. Often called the "City of Gold", Drakkel is an opulent city with luxurious trappings on every wall and door, a spectacle of riches around every corner. There is a saying - "Drakkel wears its wealth on the outside". This undoubtedly refers to the architecture. Every building is adorned with columns, bas relief, sculptures, marble, gold leaf and other expensive touches. Between buildings, one will find statues, parks, gardens, cobblestone walkways,reflecting pools, sculpted shrubbery, fountains and elaborate gateways. It is quite obvious that this city has been methodically planned out and unashamedly crafted for one specific goal - to boast its wealth. And at this, the city planners have succeeded. History Although the Traxx Legion was the last great nation still standing at the end of the Great War, the centuries of war had taken a toll on the Legion. The once mighty warrior nation had won the Great War at a terrible cost. So much of its resources had gone to the war that it did not have the strength to rebuild. Poverty and hunger were widespread. Bandits prowled the land hindering caravans and trade. Corruption crept into the legion at all levels and the chain of command throughout the military began to break down. Three wealthy nobles took advantage

ideologue nor a spineless wimp. The Obama who wrote Dreams and Audacity stands in a long tradition of American reform, wary of absolutes and universals, and committed to a Christian tradition that prizes humility and social service over dogmatic statements of unbending principle. A child of the philosophical pragmatists William James and John Dewey, Obama distrusts pat formulas and prefers experimentation. Throughout his career, Obama has refused to demonize his opponents. Instead, he has sought them out and listened to them. He has tried to understand how they think and why they see the world as they do. His mother encouraged this sense of empathy, and it’s a lesson Obama learned well. Since January 2009, Obama has watched his efforts at reconciliation, experimentation, and -consensus--building bounce off the hard surfaces of political self-interest and entrenched partisanship, but there is no reasonheroes and villains, and who resist more-nuanced understandings of the past and the present. The shrill tone of Obama’s critics makes reading his books especially illuminating today. In Audacity, Obama explained why, because of our national traditions, the United States would never have a single-payer health-care system and would have to find a distinctively American hybrid relying on existing insurance plans. That’s what we have now. He explained why, although he favors regulation to protect against abuses, he rules out socialism and remains firmly committed to a market economy. His financial reforms follow that pattern. Finally, he explained why, although he opposed the war in Iraq, he supported war in Afghanistan for -different—and legitimate—reasons. Now that he must bring that war to a conclusion, he has made clear that the decision will be based on evidence, not blind adherence to a

A deadly virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea, or PEDv, is estimated to have killed, on average, more than 100,000 piglets and young hogs each week since it first showed up in Iowa in May 2013, wreaking havoc on the pork industry. The number of hogs slaughtered this year is down 4.2 percent, according to the United States Agriculture Department, to roughly 50 million from more than 52 million in the same period in 2013. That drop drove up the price of bacon and center-cut pork chops sold in the United States by more than 12 percent in May, compared with the same period athey’re being buried in ground along the coastal waterways where the groundwater level is high.” State regulation requires the bodies to be buried at least two feet underground, which in many places means the dead pigs come into contact with groundwater, Mr. Dove said. The virus does not infect humans. As the corpses decompose, however, they can become hosts for bacteria and other pathogens. Each state has its own requirements for the disposal of carcasses. Iowa, one of the largest hog-producing states, has a set of disposal methods for use during emergency disease outbreaks. They range from burial and rendering to use of alkaline hydrolysis, a highly specialized process using chemicals and heat to break down tissues. An Iowa State University publication describing various processes for disposing of carcasses during an epidemic estimated that it would take a pit six feet deep, 300

First geometry, as the "extension of nature and the world", became expressible in algebraic formulae. Second, analytical geometry was able to prove that "numerical truths are fully representable in terms of space" (10). The consequence of these two moves was the conclusion that nothing more than mathematics, least of all immediate sensible intuition, was required for scientific investigation. It also meant that "observation-based reflection on lived experience", which had previously motivated philosophy as well as political speech and action, is no longer needed or even acknowledged by the natural sciences. As Olkowski explains in chapter two, Newton advanced the presuppositions of mathematical science maintaining that we cannot rely on our senses, and that to comprehend "space, time and motion" things should be considered in themselves (26). Importantly,

from responding to all the arguments of law that have been raised, and from citing the Supreme Court, among others, particularly on the notion of manner and form. In 1991, citing the Supreme Court of Southern Australia and Chief Justice King, the Supreme Court of Canada clearly established that, when a legislative body decides to delegate, through a referendum, to a body other than the legislative body, as opposed to holding a referendum — which is exactly the case here — it is not legislating on the manner and form, but on the substance, which is an abdication of power. This goes against the sovereignty of Parliament and is unconstitutional. It is simply not within the Speaker's purview to deal with matters of law or matters of constitutional validity. Only senators can make those decisions in the course ofengage in and cast a vote upon legislation that begins from the premise of a deliberate and overt violation of statutes passed by the House with the expectation that those provisions would be respected most of all by members of the House. Those were the exact words used by Senator Cowan in his question of privilege. I will continue: The member for Malpeque explained that he was not asking the Speaker to rule on the legality of section 47.1 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act, but rather whether his privileges were violated as a result of the government introducing legislation he claimed contravened an existing statute passed by Parliament. Later on in his decision, the Speaker of the other chamber said: . . . it is important to delineate clearly between interpreting legal provisions of statutes — which is not within the

"Soloist?" I asked grimly. "No, monsieur--tailor for ladies. We shall live in Paris," she added, and for an instant her eyes sparkled; then again their gaze reverted to the now sadly twisted apron pocket, for I was silent. "No more Suzette then!" I said to myself. No more merry, willing little maid-of-all-work! No more hot mussels steaming in a savory sauce! Her puree of peas, her tomato farcies, the stuffed artichokes, and her coffee the like of which never before existed, would vanish with the rest. But true love cannot be argued. There was nothing to do but to hold out my hand in forgiveness. As I did so the generalthen suddenly mustering up her courage, she gasped: "_Oh, mon general!_ Is it true, then, that Gaston must go to jail? _Ah! Mon Dieu!_" "_Eh bien_, my girl!

"They overslept. I don't want Suzette to marry a jail-bird." Again he scratched his head and frowned. Suzette was in tears. "Um! Difficult!" he grumbled. "Order for arrest once given--" Then he shot a glance at me. I caught a twinkle in his eye. "_Eh bien!_" he roared. "There--I forgive them! Ah, those _sacre_ musicians!"

"Well, I'm Chri-" "Did I say you can speak?" Hawk cut him off, the two taking a step back in response. Having seen this for a second time, Miguel had seen enough and simply walked up to the two new students, patting the brave one on the arm. "Guys, look, They're just messing with you. Don't take it too personally. I'm Miguel by the way." Miggy stuck his hand out to both boys and shook them, a smile on his face. He gave his friends a soft glare, a bit annoyed at theirantics and then began to walk the two newbs through what was to be expected of them in this dojo. A few more of the older students listened in on Miguel's pep-talk, inputting things that Sensei Lawrence doesn't tolerate or finds extremely funny. Miguel was midway through another explanation before he heard the door to the dojo open. 'Weird. I could have sworn everyone was here.' It was at that exact moment that Miguel simultaneously remembered and saw John Kreese walk through the door to the Cobra Kai Dojo. A chill ran up his spine as he watched the older man survey the group of kids in front of him, his face showing indifference while his eyes showed disappointment. Miguel could have sworn Kreese held his gaze for a few seconds before continuing to walk around the dojo, stopping by a group of three new kids. "Jesus Christ." The disgust was

The nine-year-old victim was spending the night at the home of the defendant's sister. The victim testified the defendant kneeled beside the bed where she was sleeping and touched her vagina with his fingers and tongue. She told the investigator and the nurse that the defendant was licking her "between her legs," but she did not know whether his tongue went inside her vagina. 1 His fingers touched her "around the outside," but she could not recall whether his finger went inside.

While the victim's testimony did not establish penetration, the medical evidence proved digital penetration. The sexual assault nurse examiner examined the victim a few hours after the assault. She described the victim's genital area as very swollen and reddened. The nurse observed a slight tear in the vaginal vault just beyond the hymen, which was swollen. She described it as "a significant tear in a child" because it was visible with the naked eye. The tear was "a typical injury from something either rubbing against or touching that would have stretched that area." Something was either "inserted" into the vagina or "some kind

prior task of showing merely that there are categories. Doubtless Kant thinks that the forms of judgement formulated by Formal Logic in some way _suggest_ the conceptions which become operative in thought under these other conditions. Nevertheless, it is impossible to see how these forms of judgement can suggest these conceptions, unless they actually presuppose them. It is clear, however, that the professed link[25] between the forms of judgement and the categories does not represent the actual process by which Kant reached his list of categories; for he could never have reached any list of categories by an argument which was merely directed to show that there are categories. Moreover, an inspection of the list shows that he actually reached it partly by noticing the conceptions which the forms of judgement seemed to presuppose, and partly by bearing in mind the generalthe conceptions of unity, plurality, and totality. [27] I owe this view of the distinction to Professor Cook Wilson's lectures on logic. [28] 'Some coroners are doctors' of course in some contexts means, 'it is possible for a coroner to be a doctor,' and is therefore not numerical; but understood in this sense it is merely a weakened form of the universal judgement in which the connexion apprehended between subject and predicate terms is incomplete.

Houston ( (listen) HEW-stən) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States, with a census-estimated population of 2.312 million in 2017. It is the most populous city in the Southern United States and on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth most populous metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the United States and the second most populous in Texas after the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA. With a total area of 627 square miles (1,620 km2), Houston is the eighth most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties; it is the largest city in the United States by total area, whose governmentis similarly not consolidated with that of a county or borough). Houston was founded by land speculators on August 30, 1836, at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas' independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing. After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.The arrival of the 20th century saw a convergence of economic factors which fueled rapid growth in Houston, including a burgeoning port and railroad industry, the decline of Galveston as Texas' primary port following

In that factory they also produced flying saucers, and he was given an explanation on how they operate in the atmosphere, and in space.

unique contract after the other in a span of a year. With a long record of successful performance behind it, Howard H. Wright's company has been awarded four major Century 21 projects. Each of these projects has features of exceptional interest to the industry. The 76-year-old Howard S. Wright Construction Co. is building Coliseum 21, the Monorail, the Space Needle and the 1,500-car municipal garage in addition to considerable work in other areas. A long history of developing special techniques, particularly with concrete, enabled the firm to undertake these and other projects with confidence. While Wright himself has been nominally retired since reorganization of the company in 1957, his wisdom and experience are still big factors in the firm's success. His status was recognized earlier this year when he was named by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce as its first Construction Man of the Year. The company was organized by HowardS. Wright, Sr. in 1885 in Port Townsend, Wash., and the small firm moved to Everett in 1893. At that time buildings of $30,000 to $50,000 were Wright's "big jobs". Howard H. Wright was born in Everett in 1900, attended Everett schools and the University of Washington, and went to work for his father in 1923. His brother-in-law, George J. Schuchart, also joined the firm at about that time. A few years later the two younger members of the family took over active direction of the company, with the elder Wright remaining in the firm as an advisor. This was a sad time to be in business. The company was working on the structural frame of the Chinook Hotel in Yakima when the crash of 1929 took all the sponsor's money. The Wright firm, with two sub-contractors, waited eight months to be paid and almost went bankrupt

named by Bush to replace Condoleezza Rice as his national security adviser. The warhawk Cheney network moved from the PNAC into key posts within the Bush administration to run NATO and Pentagon policy. Bruce Jackson and others, after successfully lobbying Congress to expand NATO to Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary in 1999, moved to organize the so-called Vilnius Group that lobbied to bring 10 more former Warsaw Pact countries on Russia's periphery into NATO. Jackson called this the "Big Bang". Bush repeatedly used the term "New Europe" in statements about NATO enlargement. In a July 5, 2002, speech hailing the leaders of the Vilnius group, Bush declared, "Our nations share a common vision of a new Europe, where free European states are united with each other, and with the United States through cooperation, partnership, and alliance." Lockheed Martin's former executive, Bruce Jackson, took credit for bringing the Balticand other members of the Vilnius Group into NATO. Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 1, 2003, Jackson claimed he originated the "Big Bang" concept of NATO enlargement, later adopted by the Vilnius Group of Baltic and Eastern European nations. As Jackson noted, his "Big Bang" briefing "proposed the inclusion of these seven countries in NATO and claimed for this enlargement strategic advantages for NATO and moral [sic] benefits for the democratic community of nations". On May 19, 2000, in Vilnius, Lithuania, these propositions were adopted by nine of Europe's new democracies as their own. It became the objectives of the Vilnius Group. Jackson could also have noted the benefits to US military defense industry, including his old cronies at Lockheed Martin, with the creation of a vast new NATO arms market on the borders to Russia. Once that NATO goal was reached, Bruce Jackson and other

This Is The Land Of The Navajos WHEN you think of Navajo Indians, your first thoughts are probably of rugs and weaving, which have made their culture famous throughout the world. But now, and for several years, the Navajos have had more important problems than weaving-practical problems of keeping the grass growing on their ranges to restore N a­ture's balance between soil, water and vegetation, and pre­serving the land for their children. Generally, the problems of the Navajos are about the same as the problem of western farmers and range men whose grass-lands and ranges are not covered with the same amount of grass as in former years. This is the N avajoland in northern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southern Utah, where 16 million acres of canyons, mesas, plateaus, valleys and mountainsform a big segment of the drainage of the Colorado River and its branches. The Navajoland lies mostly betwen the San Juan River on the north, the Colorado River on the northwest, the Little Colorado River on the southwest and south, and the Chaco wash on the east. The Little Colorado and the Colorado Rivers meet along the western boundary just a little north and east of the Grand Canyon. The Navajo people are very much like other people who have lived in an almost unlimited rugged country. They first adapted themselves to life by hunting and farming. Later, they had small -flocks of sheep which they raised for their own use, subsistence flocks. For a few years they lived successfully, satisfying their immediate needs with their small flocks and little farming areas. Then they began to raise their sheep commercially, in­creasing the number

give it its modern name, the Forty-ninth Foot. But meanwhile, in 1737-38, the needs of a new colony forced the War Office to provide yet another garrison for the defence of Georgia; and it was boldly resolved to form a whole regiment for that service and for that alone. Its colonel was the governor and founder of Georgia, General James Oglethorpe; and it was formed by the simple process of turning over the whole of the effective privates of the Twenty-fifth Foot to that estimable man.[92] This incident marks the furthest limit to which the principle of separating Colonial and Imperial service was pushed by the War Office. Another quarter of a century was to see, not the impressment of English soldiers for a colonial regiment, but the embodiment of colonists into an English, and a famous English, regiment. But it was notthe march began, the fireflies still flickering overhead against the darkness, the air close and still, and alive with the chirping, whistling, and croaking of the noisy tropic night. Within the camp men were lying in scores under the scourge of yellow fever, some tossing and raving in delirium, some gasping in the agonies of the last fatal symptom, some prostrate in helpless and ghastly collapse, waiting only for the dead hour before the dawn when they should die. These were left behind, and the red columns disappeared silently into the darkness. Before long Wynyard's men reached the foot of the hill and began the ascent. The ground before them was so steep that they were forced to climb upon their hands and knees, and the officers began to doubt whether their guides might not have played them false. Still

95-379). Separately, the court rejected the appeal of the Knox County, Tenn., school district in a suit over who should pay $30,000 to $50,000 in lawyers' fees stemming from a special-education lawsuit. Two lower courts held that the parents of a hearing-impaired student were the prevailing party in a dispute over his educational placement, and thus were entitled to have the district pay the fees. The district's appeal was Knox County Board of Education v. Rynes (No. 95-351). Zero-Tolerance Laws Forty-four states met the Oct. 20 deadline for compliance with a federal law that requires states to pass legislation mandating one-year expulsions of students who bring a gun to school, the Department of Education has reported. Kentucky and Michigan are the only states that have not enacted so-called zero-tolerance laws. A bill is pending in Michigan, and Kentucky has been granted a waiver asits legislature does not meet until next year. The department said it was investigating whether laws passed in Colorado, Mississippi, and Oklahoma meet the conditions of the federal mandate, which was included in last year's amendments to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The department's report, issued last month, said South Dakota was already planning to modify its anti-gun law in the next legislative session to fulfill the federal requirements.

Oruca, who was shocked at what happened, lost sight of Ultima for a brief moment, and then suddenly from behind her, 「And, done!!」 Was what she heard.

innovation is exploited in markets outside the state, the actual benefit should come to the local innovator, but that is not happening at present,” he points out Thursday, July 25, 2013 Where innovations masquerade as traditions In his book, Unsung Innovators of Kashmir, Sheikh Fayaz Ahmad documents the creations of the Valley in Daily Financial Chronicle (published in collaboration with International Herald Tribune, New York Times) Undoubtedly, Kashmir has gone through the rough terrain of history – being always ruled by people who were not its own until 1947 when rays of democracy began to shine on its lands and local leaders finally got hold of power. The foreign rulers, be it Afghans, Mughals, British, Sikhs or Dogras, offered no conducive atmosphere for education to reach common people, who were condemned to oppression. Despite such big disadvantages, Kashmir hasalways been a place of great inventions and discoveries. Dick Teres, the author of the Lost Discoveries: The Ancient Roots of Modern Science refers to Kashmir as the place, which gave iron suspension bridges to the world. The earliest seamless globe — considered one of the most remarkable feats in metallurgy — was invented first in Kashmir by Ali Kashmiri in 1589. Even the main calligrapher of Mughal times, Mohammad Hussain, was a Kashmiri. The Kashmiri products, be it pashmina shawls, handicrafts, rugs and papier-mâché, which are acclaimed worldwide, are actually products of local creativity, indigenous ingenuity and the innovative potential of Kashmiris. A recent book on Kashmir innovations titled Unsung Innovators of Kashmir presents the creative genius of informal innovators, whose great contribution to the field of innovation is hardly known or recognised by the government or people at large.

theory ever. Einstein once wrote "... the creative principle resides in mathematics [; thus] I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed." Oswald Veblen's first mathematical achievement was a novel system of axioms for geometry. He also worked in topology; projective geometry; differential geometry (where he was first to introduce the concept of differentiable manifold); ordinal theory (where he introduced the Veblen hierarchy); and mathematical physics where he worked with spinors and relativity. He developed a new theory of ballistics during World War I and helped plan the first American computer during World War II. His famous theorems include the Veblen-Young Theorem (an important algebraic fact about projective spaces); a proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem more rigorous than Jordan's; and Veblen's Theorem itself (a generalization of Euler's result about cycles in graphs). Veblen, a nephew of the famouseconomist Thorstein Veblen, was an important teacher; his famous students included Alonzo Church, John W. Alexander, Robert L. Moore, and J.H.C. Whitehead. He was also a key figure in establishing Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study; the first five mathematicians he hired for the Institute were Einstein, von Neumann, Weyl, J.W. Alexander and Marston Morse. Brouwer is often considered the "Father of Topology;" among his important theorems were the Fixed Point Theorem, the "Hairy Ball" Theorem, the Jordan-Brouwer Separation Theorem, and the Invariance of Dimension. He developed the method of simplicial approximations, important to algebraic topology; he also did work in geometry, set theory, measure theory, complex analysis and the foundations of mathematics. He was first to anticipate forms like the Lakes of Wada, leading eventually to other measure-theory "paradoxes." Several great mathematicians, including Weyl, were inspired by Brouwer's work in topology. Brouwer is most famous as the founder

loved both children tenderly; but the warmest love was certainly for the child who had the Earle face. She was imperious and willful, generous to a fault, impatient of all control; but her greatest fault, Mrs. Vyvian said, was a constant craving for excitement; a distaste for and dislike of quiet and retirement. She would ride the most restive horse, she would do anything to break the ennui and monotony of the long days. Beautiful, daring, and restless, every day running a hundred risks, and loved the better for the dangers she ran, Beatrice was almost worshiped at the Elms. Nothing ever daunted her, nothing ever made her dull or sad. Lillian was gentle and quiet, with more depth of character, but little power of showing it; somewhat timid and diffident--a more charming ideal of an English girl could notand set, the tides ebbed and flowed, spring flowers bloomed, and died, the summer skies smiled, autumn leaves of golden hue withered on the ground; and winter snows fell; yet no change came to the quiet homestead in the Kentish meadows. Beatrice and Lillian had reached their sixteenth year, and two fairer girls were seldom seen. Mrs. Vyvian's efforts had not been in vain; they were accomplished far beyond the ordinary run of young girls. Lillian inherited her father's talent for drawing. She was an excellent artist. Beatrice excelled in music. She had a magnificent contralto voice that had been carefully trained. Both were cultivated, graceful, elegant girls, and Lady Earle often sighed to think they should be living in such profound obscurity. She could do nothing; seventeen years had not changed Lord Earle's resolution. Time, far from softening, imbittered him the
