following the production of , and would not be available to start production until the spring of 1986. In between, we meet some historical figures, mostly preachers and musicians. Vaughn got played, but he also gave in to his temptation and it cost him. Chris comes from a family of alcoholics and criminals, but he is much different from the rest of his family. At the beginning of the film Vern is seen as the chubby, clumsy and reluctant member of the boys. Where do you need to be encouraged? The film then tells the future of each of the boys.
Journey Faithfully lyrics
During the 1960s, popular music encouraged participants in the Civil Rights movement. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978and 1987. They had come of age. Vern Tessio is the slightly dim overweight one, that dimness largely out of naivety. As a train approaches, everyone but Teddy gets off the tracks.
Just Kids
His brother played football, and Gordie just wants to be a writer. The Lover may only appear in a few scenes. There are no page numbers, either. And Chris Chambers, Gordie's best friend, has in the public mindset a predetermined future as a lowlife, being just the latest lowlife in the Chambers family. Everyone in town figures that Chris will follow in their footsteps, so he is very much afraid of what his future will be.

Israel Aerospace Industries Searcher Mk II and Israel Aerospace Industries Heron. The Searcher, a tactical reconnaissance drone, is flown by the both the Indian Navy and Air Force. The Heron is a medium-reconnaissance high-altitude drone for surveillance and reconnaissance that is flown by the Indian Air Force and Navy. At Jammu Airport, both Searchers and Herons are pictured beginning in February 2006. At Awantipur Air Force Station, an early Heron UAV is pictured in a satellite image from 2006, although one has not been seen there since then. At Bhatinda, south of Kashmir in Punjab province, a Heron drone is pictured in an image from May 25, 2016.
Of the three bases, however, Jammu appears to be the most significant. The satellite imagery shows regular and active drone operationsdefense contractor Thales UK has been operating one Hermes 900 drone out of Timbuktu since at least July and that two more aircraft would join the deployment in September. The Hermes 900 is a medium-altitude long-endurance surveillance drone made by Elbit Systems, an Israeli company. It is similar to the U.S. General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drone. According to IHS Jane’s, Thales signed a three-year agreement with the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) in December 2015. Unlike the military drones that are already operating in Mali, the Thales drones will be used to provide aerial surveillance for civilian operations such as humanitarian convoys.
Satellite imagery shows that the Thales deployment is located on the western end of the airport, where a group of concrete aprons and taxiways

defendant has waived his right to a new trial.
Entirely apart from the question above is the other point made by the defendant, which is, that the verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. To properly consider this requires a careful review of the evidence.
Plaintiff McCottrell lived next door to premises owned by the defendant Benson. The defendant's property was rental property but had been vacant for better than two years prior to the date the shooting occurred. At the rear of the two lots and on or near the dividing line between them, was an elm tree, the roots of which had grown through the floor of an outdoor privy situated on defendant Benson's property. The roots had grown in such a manner that thedoor of the defendant's privy was jammed shut.
On the morning of October 30, 1958, defendant Benson went to his premises with the intention of cutting the roots of the tree for the purpose of straightening the privy. While he was there, the plaintiff came out of his house and a heated discussion about the cutting of the tree ensued. The defendant claims that during the discussion plaintiff threatened to shoot him if he *372 cut the tree roots. This threat to shoot the defendant was denied by the plaintiff. Defendant also contended that he noticed that plaintiff McCottrell had a pistol with him at that time, that he had it part-way out of his pocket and that he threatened to use it. This, likewise, was denied by the

Gate, shabiha occasionally shoot at rebels from rooftops. I asked about the presence of foreign fighters in Aleppo, since news reports have suggested that radical Islamists from abroad had joined in the battle for the city. He said that the only foreign fighters he knew of were Iranian snipers operating near the citadel and Russians who were embedded with Assad's regular army. I took his statement with a grain of salt: Iran has admitted to a Revolutionary Guard Corps presence in Syria, but no credible evidence suggests that Russia has dispatched any forces, at least not yet. Still, in a country where paranoia and conspiracy theories masquerade as state-sponsored news, it is hard to fault any Syrian for rumormongering.
A small crowd had gathered around us by now. Onerebel, perhaps thinking I had not fully grasped the enormity of his struggle, handed me a semi-exploded mortar.
NUMBERED DAYS
Within 48 hours of my leaving Syria and returning to London, the regime had once again taken to shelling Bab al-Hadid, as Western newspapers reported that the rebels controlled between 50 to 60 percent of Aleppo. Assad's anticipated ground offensive had not yet materialized, but now the regime's most advanced warcraft, MiG fighter jets, were indiscriminately targeting FSA strongholds and civilian homes alike. Richard Spencer, a correspondent for the British Daily Telegraph, stood in front of one house where members of the Kayali and Katab families were wiped out by two missiles. A ten-year-old girl's head, Spencer reported, "was attached to a torso that ended at her stomach." Meanwhile, the

At New Wave, Lal Hardy is into his fifth decade as a tattooist. He is,
by his own definition, a press favourite (most recently the Daily Mail
and Timeout). But he considers all his clients as important as the
footballers from his beloved Spurs who have called upon his services,
not to mention a few players from Arsenal and elsewhere.
Hardy put Jen Kavanagh, the exhibition’s curator, in touch with Lodder, who works from the UniversityWesterly - In the early morning hours of June 9, three Westerly police officers arrested Ryan O'Loughlin of Mystic after a disturbance outside a downtown wine bar.
The officers said they pepper-sprayed and struck the 34-year-old Navy veteran in the legs with a baton after he refused to put his hands behind his back.
Later in the day, O'Loughlin posted bond and returned home. Late that afternoon, he began vomiting, and his wife took him to the Pequot Health Center in Groton where he died 16 hours after his arrest. For the past three months, O'Loughlin's family has waited for the Connecticut medical examiner to determine how he died.
On Tuesday, his widow, parents and sister stood behind their attorney Mark Dana as he announced that the autopsy report shows O'Loughlin

Further, when the operator pushes the balloon catheter forward so as to insert the balloon catheter into a narrow part in a blood vessel, the distal end of the reinforcing member may detach from the inner surface of the outer shaft or the outer surface of the inner shaft, preventing transmission of a pushing force to the outer shaft or the inner shaft.22 July 1963.

Russian and US officials met on Friday in an attempt to salvage diplomatic ties between the two countries, which remain strained over a range of issues including Syria and the Snowden affair.
Michael A. McFaul, the United States ambassador to Russia, met a top aide to President Vladimir Putin to discuss Snowden, Syria, missile defense and other issues.
The US Embassy in Russia did not divulge further details about the meeting with Yuri Ushakov.
Edward Snowden — the former contractor responsible for leaking information about the US National Security Agency's surveillance programs to the media — slipped out of Moscow's airport on Thursday after obtaining a temporary visa, a move that further angered the White House.
“@McFaul and Ushakov discussed nuclear arms reductions, missile defense, Syria, trade, human rights, and the newand contacts in Russia.
Yet, he’s exhausted and misses his American girlfriend, USA Today reported.
“Snowden is in a safe place,” Anatoly Kucherena told Russian media.
“He will decide for himself how to live his life from now on. He has friends with him, including Americans with whom he made contact via his friends from the United States when he was still in the [airport] transit zone.”
Snowden is also traveling with a WikiLeaks representative who helped him navigate his flight from Hong Kong to Moscow in late June after he leaked confidential US security documents to the press.
“We will continue to defend Mr. Snowden and urge the United States government to respect its constitution and international law,” a statement on Wikileaks.org said.

“It was an honor to be selected,” he said.
Filming was tough, not only because of the story, but because it was extremely hot and the shoot was inside a BART train.
People were getting sick from the heat, Rivera said. But he kept going.
It was also difficult because some of the filming was done at the BART platform where 22-year-old Grant was killed.

Three local actresses also appear in the film, in uncredited roles, as witnesses.

of her family, she would have been run to death. And rest was one of
the things to which she was normally inclined. She was healthy,
usually content, and so were the children, with access to the pantry
whenever they cared for "a piece," and without inhibitions
regarding manners or the care of furnishing or their clothes.
She customarily took the mornings for cooking, churning, or
sweeping, care of the poultry; some afternoons for mending, and much
time for an incidental and almost unconscious idleness, in which she
read magazines, arranged her hair, or talked to her girls, to the
neighbours by telephone, or slept.
The girls themselves were three--Alice, wistful, nervous,
emphatic, fifteen, who was to start to high school in the coming
autumn; Ellen, thirteen and older than any of the boys, a thin, pale,
little thing withblue eyes, gentle voice, and a determined mouth;
and Mary, younger than Johnnie, with deep gold hair uncommon for a
child so young, blue-grey eyes, merry lips never still and usually
moistened with fruit.
Richard Milne spent much of his day in wandering about the
country, chatting over fences with old neighbours and new, drinking
in impressions of the life he had known, or making a vague eifort to
impose exterior circumstances upon his attention, to let them
supersede his inner conflict. But mostly he was unable to decide why
he should make an eifort toward anything. At first he had thought of
going directly, not to Ada Lethen, but to her parents. Perhaps they
could come to an understanding which would alter the whole situation.

and the next day proclaimed his will to marry Catherine of Aragon, as the last will of his dying father, King Henry VII. Henry VIII was seen as a new hope for England during his early years of reign; he was seen as a vigorous young man, full of new and bright ideas. However, Henry had a huge ego and a mind full of thoughts different from the ones of his advisors and ministers, and no person could feel safe near Henry.
Alison Weir (2008) describes Henry in his fifties as an enormous mass that occupied the large chair and resembled a pile of purple-clad flesh. Weir also states that his mind was full of dark and furious thoughts, and his black heart was filled with bloodlust and cruelty.Indeed, at the end of his life, he was huge with all the physical mass fastened to the chair. He never really rested, like a bird of prey, he was ready to spring into action and scourge an innocent soul, as he kept a wary eye on all his court. He is known as the Tyrant King of England, the great reformist of his age, and the paranoid king, obsessed with treason and conspiracy among his court.
Both Louis XIV and Henry VIII were great fans of hunting, a fancy hobby that caused their death. Both Kings were hunting to distance themselves from annoying things to ponder on events that preoccupied their minds.

Student Responses to Review Topic: What To Do For Fun
State College and Altoona are both about 45 minutes away, and the college is located in a small little town. There are a few good pizza places around town, and going up to the cliffs is always a fun thing to do, too.
Outdoorsmen and the environmentally inclined will love the numerous hiking trails, walking/running paths, and cliffs within a ten minute walk of campus. The nearby Juniata river provides an opportunity for many recreational activities. Raystown lake is about 20 minutes away, and Juniata offers free kayak, canoe, and watersport equipment rentals to students and faculty. Monthly bus trips take students to State College (40 minutes away) on weekends for shopping, etc and many students carpoolto tailgate or go to football games. There are local caves that offer tours as well. Juniata also provides many on-campus activities such as movies on the grass, concerts, game nights, etc to bring people together on weekends and evenings.
State College and Altoona are only half an hour away which is nice because all students are allowed to have a vehicle. There is a movie theater in town and a bowling alley nearby. Also, restaurants line the highway near the school giving kids the option to dine out when necessary. Juniata always have some kind of activity during the weekend to encourage kids to stay on campus and to enjoy some fun.

this theme, one expects more emotional involvement but the film leaves one rather empty. The cinematography, particularly of the harsh natural barren lands of both snow and desert is more than impressive. For the human characters, the 7 escapees are roughly sketched and their interaction minimal at most.
Weir (who has made better films likes his early Australian films GALLIPOLI, THE LAST WAVE, PICNIC AT HANGNG ROCK and THE TRUMAN SHOW, WITNESS for Hollywood) appears to be going through the motion at times for this film. At the start, Polish inmate Janusz (Jim Sturgess) is interrogated by Russian authorities involving his spying in a clichéd segment in which he declares himself innocent and that his wife had been tortured to testify against him. What follows are typical prison scenesfilm is the cinematography both of the hot desert and the cold icelands.
Weir claims the story to be one of fiction. It has been revealed that writer Rawicz was actually a free man during the escape and the story based on another Polish prisoner’s escape. The sight of the green hillsides of India where the escapees finally see is as welcome for the audience in the film finally coming to an end. Though not a bad film, THE WAY BACK is a difficult film to watch.

New offshore seismic testing for oil in the south
In 2007, the Providence Energy Group was awarded a five hundred and thirty-one square mile concession area for oil exploration and production rights in southern Belize. The drilling rights cover both on and offshore blocks near the Gulf of Honduras, from Punta Gorda to New Haven, as well as the southeast of Glovers Reef. The agreement stipulates that the company has eight years to explore and twenty-five years for each oil field discovered. The concession awarded to Providence was one of several granted for on and offshore drilling that was challenged in the Supreme Court. Despite the contracts being declared null and void, the company is proceeding with seismic testing in early 2014.

"It's really not important to me. It has no relevance to me right now. I'm not having kids any time soon, I'm in a nice relationship, I'm working a lot, and, like I said, it's not important to me," she says.

up almost two-thirds of the world's $56 billion battery market. Four different chemical reactions dominate the industry—each of which has pros and cons when it comes to utility, durability, cost, safety and performance.
The first rechargeable battery, the lead-acid battery, was invented in 1859 by Gaston Planté, a French physicist. The electrification of Europe and America in the late 19th century sparked the use of storage batteries for telegraphy, portable electric-lighting systems and back-up power. But the biggest market was probably electric cars. At the turn of the century battery-powered vehicles were a common sight on city streets, because they were quiet and did not emit any noxious fumes. But electric cars could not compete on range. In 1912 the electric self-starter, which replaced cranking by hand, meant thatcars with internal-combustion engines left electric cars in the dust.
Nickel-cadmium cells came along around 1900 and were used in situations where more power was needed. As with lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium cells had a tendency to produce gases while in use, especially when being overcharged. In the late 1940s Georg Neumann, a German engineer, succeeded in fine-tuning the battery's chemistry to avoid this problem, making a sealed version possible. It started to become more widely available in the 1960s, powering devices such as electric razors and toothbrushes.
For most of the 20th century lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells dominated the rechargeable-battery market, and both are still in use today. Although they cannot store as much energy for a given weight or volume as newer technologies, they can be extremely cost-effective. Small

and World Peace had considered opting out in order to become a free agent rather than take part in these unstable Lakers times.
But while signs remain that Howard may be heading to the Houston Rockets, World Peace is better off opting for the security that comes with the final year of his deal rather than opting out. At 33 years old and 14 seasons into his career, the player formerly known as Ron Artest saw his offensive production rise in his first year under Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni (from 7.7 points and 7.3 shots per game in 2011-12 to 12.4 points and 11 shots per game last season).
The Lakers, whose payroll was set to be approximately $80 million for the coming season with just eight players (and withoutHoward), now will have to decide whether they want to use their amnesty clause on World Peace's deal in order to limit the exorbitant price of their underachieving team. The league's new luxury tax system is about to reach its most-punitive stages, meaning the Lakers could be in for record costs.
The amnesty provision is a one-time measure that teams can use which takes a player's contract off the books for salary cap purposes, though the player is still paid in full. The provision can only be used on contracts that were signed before the new collective bargaining agreement was put in place in December 2011.
World Peace came to the Lakers as a free agent in 2009 and was a key part of their championship team that season. After

the grapes provide another dimension and special quality, boosting minerality and adding a pleasing, slightly briny character to the wine.
Cool, refreshing winds from the north called, “meltemia,” blanket the island during the summer, decreasing the temperature dramatically at night. This helps maintain the already bright acidity that Assyrtiko and the other native varieties inherently possess. These revitalizing winds also keep the vines from becoming infected with Botrytis and mildew, which greatly reduces the need to treat the vines.
Cultivation
Throughout the island of Santorini, there is an estimated 1400 hectares of vineyards still under cultivation. This has decreased from 2500 hectares planted in the 1960’s due to a combination of the island’s popularity as a travel destination and the increasing disinterest of the new generations of growers because of thethe Frank Scoblete Network.

defendant and his accomplice stalked the victim for six miles, eventually seizing her from the rear. The defendant always kept the gun hidden and they released the victim only after they moved her to another location. In the case at bar, however, the assailant attacked the complainant by himself and in daylight. The assailant approached the complainant almost immediately after he spotted her. The assailant approached the complainant directly and openly displayed his gun. He also released the complainant in the same spot as where the rape occurred.
The State argues that there are similarities between the two crimes: Both women were attacked in the same area; both assailants used cars and guns; both victims were placed in the back seats of the cars; both victims were told toof the assailant of Leticia Hernandez, which I will later address. However, I would not *989 reverse the judgment of the circuit court and will therefore address all the other issues presented by the defendant.
On October 5, 1981, a 13-year-old female child was raped. She asked the assailant, "Why me?" and he responded that he liked Mexicans and that he had been watching her for a long time. Upon being released by the assailant, the victim immediately went home, reported the incident to her mother, and then called the police. She was taken to the local hospital where the rape was medically verified. On October 6 she gave an in-depth interview to the officers and described the assailant. Subsequent thereto, on October 9, hypnosis was performed by an

for the post of Defense Minister back in March suggests very strongly that the coup organizers could count on his support for their project. More than that, Tejera Paris, a former foreign minister of Venezuela who was also being considered for the transition presidency, reports that meetings were held at his home to discuss the coup. According to La Fuente and Meza, Paris recounts how, “Various officials came here [to his home] and one of them, a major, told me that he would arrange a meeting with [Gen.] Vasquez Velasco. … He came to my home one morning in March dressed as a civilian. He made a great impression on me, of a decent and concerned man, reluctant to change the government. I think he knew that Chavezsignals interception operators in Key West; Sabana Seca on Puerto Rico and the Regional Security Operating Centre (RSOC) in Medina, Texas also assisted in providing communications intelligence to US military and national command authorities on the progress of the coup d’êtat.”
An intelligence report by Venezuela’s Air Force, which was submitted to coup president Pedro Carmona and found in the Presidential palace after it was re-taken by Chavez confirms that U.S. ships entered Venezuelan territorial waters. According to the report, “These ships were identified as NC1 3300, NC22027, and NC# 2132; they entered territorial waters at 9:00am on April 12, 2002, without due authorization. After 4:00pm they headed towards the high seas.”[48]

allowed just seven goals through eight Apertura matches - second-fewest of the 18 teams.
While pleased with that stinginess defensively, the head coach said the team can still play more cohesively overall.
"We're insisting that the players up front help out in defense and that those furthest back feel that they're part of the offense. The idea is to attack and defend better, but as a group," he said.
The 55-year-old coach was Rafa Benitez's assistant at Liverpool when that Premier League club won the 2004-2005 Champions League.
As head coach, he led Mexican club Estudiantes Tecos to the second-division title in 2014 and a year later won the Israeli league crown as manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"The most important aspect of my players is their professionalism and human qualities," he said,noting that two veteran players - 45-year-old goalkeeper Oscar Perez, who played in two World Cups as a member of the Mexican national team; and 37-year-old Argentine midfielder Christian Gimenez - have accepted being left out of the starting line-up.
Ayestaran has lived in Mexico at various times since 2014 and says the media at times gives an incomplete picture of the Aztec nation that fails to accentuate its outstanding qualities.
"I found a country with people willing to help, caring, and it's been easy to adapt. As far as the league, for me it's the best after the world's five biggest," he said.

The inner side of such a covering is typically made from a soft material such as a cotton or polyester fleece.
However, such coverings are unsatisfactory for a number of reasons. A child seated with such a covering is often not directly in contact with the fleece material on the inside of the covering, and cold air may enter at the opening provided in the covering and lead to the loss of heat from the child""s body. Additionally, it is somewhat cumbersome to place the child in the seating device or to remove it therefromLindsay H. Jones | USA TODAY

He agreed and in a very short period ( a few months) we became such good friends. At this point he decided to give me a full paid lifetime tuition free scholarship for the course and in turn I took an informal assistantship role.
I continued studying while also assisting him on his many projects. He took an interest in my career, recommending me for many music jobs with his many contacts. He took an interest in my physical well being, as well. He got medinner or all three with the family. I remember going to music industry events held by organizations such as ASMAC (American Society of Arrangers and Composers) or NARAS (National Assoc. of Recording Arts and Sciences), attending NAMM Shows (National Assoc. of Musical Merchandisers) and countless other similar music related activities with him and several of his network of music buddies. Eventually he sponsored me to become a Board Member of ASMAC (which I still hold and am actively involved with on a daily basis) and a member of NARAS.

Chamber pressure for SIP sputtering can be reduced to well below 1 milliTorr. The very low sputtering pressures are advantageous in reducing scattering of the sputtered atoms as they move towards the wafer and in reducing the temperature of the wafer since energetic argon ions are no longer bombarding it.
SIP sputtering is promoted by high target power and a small-area intense magnetic field produced by the magnetron 50, as well as designing the magnetron to minimize plasma leakage to the shields and target.

But Bush continues to battle against a steady decline in the polls, sinking to fifth place at just 7 percent in a national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday and similarly languishing in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
The warnings from top donors come as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's exit from the race refocused the battle within the GOP's establishment wing as one between Bush and his former protege, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Right now, the momentum appears to be behind Rubio, who has jumped ahead of Bush in most polls. At least a third of the bundlers who signed up to raise money for Walker have switched their allegiance to Rubio, while a smaller numberhave gone with Bush, according to people familiar with the discussions.~snip~

Raines, 57, is regarded as one of the best leadoff hitters and baserunners in baseball history. He batted .283 (697-2,461) with 50 home runs, 277 RBI, 440 runs scored and 142 stolen bases in 648 games with the White Sox. He’s ranked second in the White Sox organization with runs scored, stolen bases and triples (28), and third in doubles (98).
The seven-time National League All-Star and 1986 Silver Slugger Award recipient spent four of his 23 seasons in the Major League on Chicago’s south side.
After spending morethan two decades in the Major Leagues, Raines decided to return to the dugout as a coach. He spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons as a member of the White Sox coaching staff, serving as the first-base coach for the 2005 World Series Championship team.
Raines was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America this winter, receiving 86 percent of the vote. He’ll be inducted at the end of this month in Cooperstown, New York with other members of the Class of 2017.

Spiritual warfare is a common term in evangelicalism and in Christianity, but they have some unique approaches and unique spins on this that distinguish them from other groups.
GROSS: And that literally have to do with casting demons out of people and religions and…
Ms. TABACHNICK: They use this in terms of evangelizing. Sobrought to light.
First, it was not Dan Clites, Rejoice!, or TN that organized this prayer walk at the school. It was a 16 year old junior girl who attends Emmaus that organized it. In fact, the same thing was done last year around the same time of year, also organized by her. She called me (I am the youth pastor at Rejoice!) a week before the date to ask if we would promote it via our email and our website. I believe she called other churches including her own and did the same. She told me it was opened to youth, parents and anyone else who would like to pray for the school. Afterwards, they were invited to her house for a bonfire. I was not there because

Id. at 561. At Defendant's sentencing, the court again considered these arguments as well as an argument that Defendant was vulnerable to abuse in prison.

Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has proposed several versions of a national id card that would use rfid technology.
Starting in 2006, the U.S. government began requiring passports to include rfid chips.
Hundreds of Alzheimer’s patients have been injected with implantable versions of rfid tags in recent years.
Rfid bracelets are now being placed on newborns at a growing list of hospitals.
Students are being required in some schools and universities to use biometric id employing rfid for electronic monitoring.

Many traditional businesses are looking for help understanding social data, said Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT. "Making objective sense out of the giga-reams of social information being generated daily would be a remarkable achievement."

As much as half of the total value of today's corporate advertising budgets is "a jump ball," McNealy contends.— A woman and her son were shot Monday morning in a Rocky Mount neighborhood in an incident officials are calling a domestic dispute.
Court records show that Tonya Boyd, 43, had a temporary restraining order on file to protect her from 48-year-old Brian Vincent White. In her application, Boyd wrote that White told her there would be "a price to pay for stringing him along" and warned she could expect a "closed-casket funeral."
"She's been having trouble with this man for a long time," said a neighbor who was too scared to give her name.
Boyd and her 21-year-old son, Emmanuel Boyd, were shot in their front yard near the intersection of Westry Road and Primrose Place as they walked Boyd's younger son to the bus stop.

who, in 2010, became the first Australian to be canonized – the Dominican friar-cum-Oxford bioethicist was swept by car to the country's most prominent house of worship, where he was greeted on the front steps by a delegation led by Aboriginal representatives. (Unlike installations in the US, Canada and Britain, the Mass notably began at 7pm local time for the convenience of the faithful who wanted to come.) Much like Fisher's combination of sweeping intellect and boyish charm, meanwhile, the liturgy that followed had something for everybody, as fanfares and chant were mixed with guitar-driven praise and worship music.
Despite a decade-long rise through the hierarchy as his predecessor's star protege, Fisher has conspicuously sought to distance himself from Cardinal George Pell over the rollout for his arrival, andthe Vatican's new, all-powerful Finance Czar was just as strikingly absent from the event. Still, beyond the choice himself, the long arm of Francis was reinforced in the room by the front-and-center presence of Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the beloved British-born Nuncio now preparing to depart for Rome as the Pope's newly-chosen "foreign minister," again becoming the first native English-speaker ever to hold the critical post.
Over recent days, it's been extraordinary to hear the level of enthusiasm and support with which a normally cynical and raucously irreverent Aussie crowd has showered Fisher (shown above with his mother) over the course of the transition – and to be sure, maybe even more of the same surrounds Blase Cupich as he arrives in Chicago today to complete his journey to the

For the Curiosity rover, it's just another day on Mars — but back on Earth, Tuesday was a day to look back at the $2.5 billion mission's first year, including a moment when it looked as if the mission might be lost.
The six-wheeled, car-sized rover passed the one-year mark at 1:32 a.m. ET Tuesday, exactly one Earth year after the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft executed a so-crazy-it-actually-worked entry, descent and landing sequence that had the rover dangling from a tether beneath a rocket-powered "sky crane."
"We were literally sweating beads and biting fingernails," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden recalled.
Allen Chen, the in-house commentator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., confessed during a Monday recap of the mission that there was a point during the descent when he sawa sensor signal indicating that catastrophic failure of the mission was imminent. The signal suggested that the spacecraft was tumbling as it fell toward Mars, or that the protective heat shield was pointed in the wrong direction, he said.
"That really spiked my blood pressure," he said. Chen decided to wait a few moments before telling anybody else what he saw.
"It turns out that the instrument was fine, we just had a calibration error," he said.
"Thanks, Allen," Pete Theisinger, the mission's project manager, deadpanned during the panel discussion at JPL. "I'm glad you didn't tell us."
Instead of declaring Curiosity's doom, Chen ended up reporting the best news of the night a year ago: "Touchdown confirmed — we're safe on Mars."

Aftimios Ofiesh (1880-1966, né Abdullah Aftimios Ofiesh, names sometimes spelled variously as "Oftimios," "Ofeish," or "Ofiesch") was an early 20th century Orthodox bishop in America, serving under the auspices of the Church of Russia. He held the title Bishop of Brooklyn from 1917 until April of 1933, when he married, thus deposing himself from the episcopacy. He is perhaps best known in our day as being the source of numerous lines of succession of episcopi vagantes and led the American Orthodox Catholic Church for most of its existence. He died in 1966.
Contents
Life
Following the untimely death of St. Raphael of Brooklyn in 1915, Archimandrite Aftimios (Ofiesh) was elected to serve as his replacement in caring for the Arab Orthodox faithful in America under the Church of Russia's canonical authority.He was consecrated by Archbishop Evdokim (Meschersky) as an auxiliary bishop in 1917 with the title of Bishop of Brooklyn. In 1923, in recognition for his work in America, he was elevated by Metropolitan Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York to the rank of archbishop.
In 1924, in the canonical chaos of American Orthodoxy following the onset of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Arab Orthodox faithful split into two factions, one which wished to go under the canonical authority of the Church of Antioch and another which wished to stay faithful to the Church of Russia. The former group was organized by Bishop Victor (Abu Assaly) of New York, thus beginning the official presence of the Church of Antioch on American soil.
In 1932, Archbishop Aftimios was invited to come

Text Book Adoption
History Social Science Textbook Adoption
Day 1
On October 22, 2018, the AUSD History-Social Studies (HSS) Textbook Adoption Committee participated in an initial day of professional learning on the History-Social Studies Framework and new instructional shifts in preparation for the textbook selection process scheduled for October of 2018. Consisting of 19 teachers and one administrator representing all secondary schools, the HSS Committee began the morning with a welcome, introductions, and a presentation from History-Social Science Consultant,Dr. Michelle Herczog, of the Los Angeles County Office of Education. Dr. Herczog presented an overview of the California History-Social Science Framework; The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards; The Inquiry Arc and the Four Dimensions of the C3 Framework; and, classroom examples of History-Social Science Inquiry-Driveninstruction.
DAY 2 - Beginning of Evaluation Process
The Professional Development Center (PDC) in Azusa Unified was abuzz as the eighteen members of the HSS Curriculum Adoption Committee reconvened to do an in-depth analysis of curricular materials for the upcoming HSS curriculum adoption.
Over a five day period, participants will evaluate curricular materials against rubrics (click here for rubric) developed from The 2018 California History-Social Science Project (CHSSP) History-Social Science Textbook Adoption Toolkit, developed by UC Davis; the California History-Social Science Framework; and, the Los Angeles County Office of Education 2017-18 History-Social Science Adoption Toolkit developed by the History-Social Science Subcommittee of the California Curriculum and Instruction Steering Committee.

His playing had a maturity which belied his age. After the interval he gave a fine performance of Liszt's Ballade No. 2. Then the orchestra gave a highly accomplished and poetic account of Faure's Suite from Pelleas et Melisande; the incidental music that he wrote for the London performancjavascript:void(0)Publishes of Maeterlinck's play.

Part of themonks were also meeting. He noticed that one of the young monks was closely watching a boy riding a unicycle. The monk paid close attention to how the boy got onto the unicycle, how he maneuvered it, and how he came to a stop.
The writer, who was able to ride a unicycle himself, made it clear that when someone first tries riding one he usually falls flat on his face.
After closely observing the boy for an hour or so, the young monk went over to talk to the unicycle rider. The rider gave the unicycle to the monk who got on it and immediately fell flat on his face.

projects had a humanitarian bent. His 1993 feature film Blackfellas, which won two AFI Awards, portrayed the difficulties of the Noongar Aboriginal people in Perth.
His activism was not confined to the screen; he took part in protests, and became a prolific letter-writer to politicians and organisations that he felt were not meeting his expectations.
"I don't see myself as an activist, or as a provocateur, I just see myself as being an active member of the society, trying to provoke other people to express their own opinions," he says.
He became a thorn in the side of many organisations; Screen Australia, responsible for providing funding to filmmakers, banned James Ricketson for allegedly repeatedly harassing staff.
Falling in love with Cambodia
James's campaigning continued in Cambodia, where he rallied against non-government organisations thathe felt were not acting ethically.
But what first drew him to the country was his interest in street kids.
"Having had that experience with Roxanne … on a whim, I had a little bit of money, I flew to Cambodia and made a little documentary," James says.
His first trip to Phnom Penh was in 1996, where he noticed a young girl who would run around the street below his hotel balcony. Her name was Chab Thy, but he came to know her as Chanti.
"He gave us $20, a bunch of bananas and a bottle of drinking water," Chanti told Australian Story.
James started filming Chanti, and as a friendship with her family developed, he realised he was no longer an impartial observer. Chanti began to call him "papa", and he

who campaigned against homophobic bullying as head of education at the gay rights group Stonewall, as a special adviser.
His close ties to the Cabinet minister gave him huge influence and his appointment in 2014 coincided with a marked change in the approach to teaching LGBT issues in Britain's schools.
The following year the charity Educate & Celebrate was handed £214,000 from a Government budget of £2 million to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic (HBT) bullying in schools. Part of this money was used to circulate books which taught children as young as seven to stop saying 'girl' and 'boy' so they did not offend transgender pupils.
Mr Tryl, a former president of the Oxford Union, is a seasoned lobbyist who says homophobic bullying is 'endemic' in schools.
Yet there is athe school amending its PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education) classes to include discussions of homosexuality and transgender issues. The distress suffered by students as a result of the continued inspections was such that the school made a formal complaint.
There was a similar disconnect between the quality of education and Ofsted's mark at Vishnitz Girls School.
The school's first Ofsted report in July 2013 found the school 'good' in all areas, saying: 'The girls make good progress in their Kodesh (Jewish/religious studies).' It continued: 'Teachers know the girls well so that the needs of the girls are met well and they are eager to learn.'
Three years later, in February 2016, the school was subjected to its first unannounced inspection. Ofsted found that supervision was good, but it did

Irv Cross was part of a different era of the NFL and in sports television. Cross was a cornerback with the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams back in the 1960s when getting a concussion meant going right back into the game. And when he was part of CBS from the 1970s through the early 1990s, The NFL Today was required viewing for NFL fans who wanted to know the weather, analysis and injury reports.
Cross was an innovator, becoming one of the first African-American athletes to transition from a playing career to television. But now, he’s living far beyond the lights of the NFL and TV. After a high-profile life in the NFL, TV and as an athletic director in college sports, Cross is now living in Minnesota,and The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that he has been diagnosed with mild cognitive dementia.
Cross told The Inquirer he’s going to donate his brain to Northeastern University to test for CTE, the disease that has plagued several of his football brothers. He said “(CTE) has affected a lot of players from my generation. We didn’t think about things like safety.”
About his TV days, Cross says a Philadelphia TV sports director heard him speak at a banquet and offered him a job to do sports on weekends and while the director was on vacation. It eventually led him to CBS where he did analysis on NFL games and then in 1975, he joined Brent Musburger, Phyllis George and Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder on The NFL Today which was “must-see TV”

indifferent degree from a third-rate trade school and the draft classification he managed to obtain––1Y (physically or psychologically unfit)––ensured that he was virtually unemployable for any meaningful work, so he more or less drifted into becoming a painter.
Ken Perenyi after John Peto
His early years in New York read like the often amusing story of any struggling unsuccessful artist, except that the connections Perenyi had forged provided entrée into the circles of the rich and scandalous of the era. In addition to producing his own abstract paintings, he continued to study by painstakingly copying the works of past masters. His own original work was not selling well, and he was financially desperate. When his roommate shoved a biography of Han van Meegeren, the infamous World War II art forger,into his hands and said "Read this," a new career was born.
Artists reuse techniques and images that have worked for them again and again, and Perenyi has an uncanny ability to analyze and imitate these techniques. In his heyday, he could paint several pictures in the style of different artists in the same week. He obligingly shares with the reader how he ages his paintings, often starting with drawer bottoms and panels from 18th or 19th century junk furniture. A restorer for whom he worked for a few years taught him techniques for aging a painting, and a framer whose hand-carved frames were indistinguishable from antiques gave him the secret of an old gesso underpainting solution that simulated the aged cracks that often appear in old paintings.

Barusco spoke at a time of escalating fallout from the scandal at Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as Petrobras is formally known, with dozens of lawmakers now implicated.
Barusco said he did not know who ultimately ran the scheme and to his knowledge the former Petrobras CEO Maria das Graças Silva Foster, who resigned along with other senior Petrobras management last month, was not involved.
Prosecutors started questioning Vaccari on 5 February but he has not been charged with any crime. His lawyer and the Workers’ Party leadership say the party receives only legal donations. Duque was briefly jailed last year and does not face criminal charges.
Forty people, including two other former Petrobras executives, have been charged in the southern city of Curitiba and 14 are currently in jailchloride as a chemical of concern in the groundwater and is currently conducting further evaluation to determine the potential source(s) of the vinyl chloride found in the field blanks.

The Ministry of Defence has agreed to pay £100,000 compensation to the family of an Iraqi teenager who drowned near Basra after being detained by British troops. In an out-of-court settlement with his relatives’ British lawyers, the MoD did not admit liability for the death of 18-year-old Saeed Shabram in May 2003.
Britain was an occupying power after the invasion of Iraq and failed to carry out effective investigations into the killing of civilians, the European court of human rights has ruled.
The decision by the Strasbourg court could open the Ministry of Defence to a deluge of claims and add to the pressure for further public inquiries into the behaviour of troops in and around Basra after the 2003 invasion.
By extending liability beyond the UK’s territorial limits and outsideEurope, the ruling will have far-reaching implications for military operations around the world.
The case was brought by the Birmingham-based firm Public Interest Lawyers on behalf of Iraqis who claimed their relatives had been variously shot dead, raped, disappeared or tortured by British soldiers between 2003 and 2006.

hurricanes, and floods. A 1992 study by the Cox
Newspapers Group found that during 1982-1992 FEMA's budgets included
only $243 million for disaster relief but $2.9 billion for "black"
and classified operations. The Cox study also estimated that one-third
of FEMA's employees during that period worked on classified projects.
Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, much of FEMA's budget
remained "black"; in 1993, for example, approximately
27% of FEMA's budget was for classified projects.
The imbalance of spending left FEMA poorly
prepared for natural disasters, a shortcoming dramatically illustrated
in August 1992, when Hurricane Andrew smashed into south Florida
and caused more damage than any other natural disaster in American
history. The city manager of Homestead, an especially hard-hit
city south of Miami, asked to borrow about one hundred hand-held
radios from FEMA to replace the destroyed radio system ofHomestead's
police and fire departments. It turned out that FEMA did not have
any such portable radio systems in its inventory, but did have-and
sent-several radiation-resistant vans with communications gear
capable of sending encrypted messages via satellite or shortwave
radio to military aircraft or ships anywhere in the world. Ready
to spring to Florida's aid with this impressive technology, FEMA
was slow to provide such basics as temporary housing, water purification,
sanitation systems, and other critical supplies.
After the Hurricane Andrew fiasco, the
National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) reviewed FEMA's
operations and released a report early in the Clinton administration.
NAPA recommended spinning off as many of FEMA's classified and
national security operations as possible to the Department of
Defense. The Clinton administration quickly adopted this recommendation,
and in 1994 only $7.5 million of FEMA's budget was classified.
In 1995-1999 the FEMA budget

Meanwhile, on January 2, 1959, as a result of a revolution led by Fidel Castro Ruz, a provisional government was proclaimed as the government of Cuba. The United States recognized this government on January 7, 1959.
On January 26, 1959, Commander Andres Gonzalez Lines, M.N., came to Libelant's office in Havana, bearing a resolution of the Minister in Charge of the Recovery of Misappropriated Property, Dr. Faustino Perez Hernandez, dated January 22, 1959, which has been translated as follows: "Resolution: Whereas: It is the duty of the present Government of the Republic urgently to adopt the necessary measures to facilitate the free development of work centers and to orient the economic and social activities, among which maritime transportation holds an important place. Whereas: From the data in possession ofsuch powers and authority as may be necessary to operate on a normal basis the business of said companies and the operation of their vessels, with power to contract in court and out of court, and to enter into any kind of commercial or banking operation for the exercise of said powers and authority he may discretionally delegate in other persons, and he is likewise vested with power to remove, suspend and appoint the personnel for the better carrying out of the mission to him entrusted, informing this Ministry as soon as possible of the matters with which he has been charged."
Lines delivered the Resolution to Alfredo Cristobal Duarte y Segurola, Libelant's executive vice-president and general manager, who "rejected" the second "Whereas" clause of the Resolution and stated

On December 29, 1988, Mutual First executed a
promissory note to New Sunbelt evidencing the $60 million
obligation (the Mutual First Note). On December 30, 1988, New
Sunbelt sold the Mutual First Note to FSLIC-Corporate. The Mutual
First Note is now owned and held by the FDIC, as manager of the
FSLIC Resolution Trust Fund, the statutory successor to FSLIC-
Corporate.
Mutual First continues to hold the San Jacinto Note. Because
Mutual First's second parent,New Sunbelt, recently has been placed
into receivership, Mutual First is now owned by the RTC as receiver
for New Sunbelt.
No payments have been made on the San Jacinto Note, and on
August 5, 1989, Mutual First initiated an action to foreclose on
the deed of trust. In response, on August 31, 1989, CapCon
initiated an action in Texas state court against Mutual First, the
FDIC, and the RTC. The Texas court granted CapCon a temporary
restraining order enjoining a foreclosure sale scheduled for
September 5, 1989. Thereafter,

midway through the second quarter to a knee injury. He returned later.
McCourty left with a rib injury late in the first half, but not before his forced fumble.
Defensive lineman Ron Brace also left with a head injury, and defensive back Kyle Arrington was shaken up.
No Meriweather
Early on, the Patriots played defense without Pro Bowler Brandon Meriweather. Instead, it was second-year player Patrick Chung and veteran James Sanders. Perhaps, in the slush and snow, the Patriots wanted their surest tacklers.
But in the nickel and dime packages, Jarrad Page and Darius Butler got the nod.
Of his return to the lineup, Butler said, “It was good, but hopefully it carries on.”
Meriweather did have a late interception.
Missed chances
The Bears may have laid down for the machine-like Patriots offense, but they had theirDemocrat politician, he became a protégé of Bernardo Mattarella, who supported his political and financial career. In 1950 Ciancimino obtained concessions for all railway transport inside Palermo. The three other firms that had made a bid were put out of the game, because Ciancimino's bid was accompanied by a letter of Mattarella, who was then Minister of Transports. This set the pattern for his career, which consisted of cutting deals to loot public assets for the benefit of himself and associates.,
Sack of Palermo
The railway concession became a turning point in Ciancimino's life. He became a rich man, moved house and changed his style of life. In 1959, when a fellow Christian Democrat, Salvo Lima, became mayor of Palermo, Ciancimino became assessor for public works and building permits.

Spain, and Peru. On December 4, 2008, Alex Widmer, 52, the CEO of Julius Baer and a widower with three children, was found dead from a dubiously-reported suicide. Widmer had discovered links between the bank's leaks of client information to the media and WikiLeaks, Mossad, and the Soros network. Only the New York Times reported that Widmer's death was from a suicide and an autopsy report was never released. The ICIJ was nowhere to be found on the Julius Baer story and how Julius Baer, after the leak of the client information, saw its share values drop by 60 percent, thus making it vulnerable to a hostile takeover by Soros and Goldman Sachs.
In 2008, the same global media that finds the Mossack Fonseca documents so newsworthy barely raisedan eyebrow when documents leaked from the Luxembourg bank Clearstream were made public. After French intelligence managed to alter the original Clearstream documents, the entire matter was shelved. The reason was that Clearstream was a pass-through entity for paying bribes to a number of world leaders by the CIA and Mossad. At the time of the Clearstream revelations, these leaders were friendly to the George W. Bush administration and Israel. One of the alleged bribe recipients was French President Nicolas Sarkozy who reportedly used the pseudonyms «Paul de Nagy» and «Stéphane Bosca» to hide his identity with Clearstream financial transactions. Sarkozy was suspected of illegally receiving kickbacks involving the sale of six French frigates to Taiwan in 1991. Banks and companies with Clearstream accounts included the defunct CIA-linked

the Plymouth car did not make the boulevard stop but "came through very fast", and since Nave testified that he observed the Plymouth as he approached and was crossing the intersection, a finding by the jury that he could have avoided the collision by the exercise of due caution would have been supported by the evidence.
[2] Since the plaintiffs were being transported as passengers for a reward by respondents they could rely upon the obligation of the driver of the taxicab to use the utmost care and diligence for their safety. In presenting their case to the trial court they were entitled to the presumption embodied in the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. A case strikingly similar to the one under review is that of St. Clairof which would show that the driver could not have avoided the collision by the exercise of due caution. In the presence of the *101 presumption it cannot be said as a matter of law that the trial court erroneously applied the doctrine."
"But the defendant corporation insists that the evidence of the conduct in detail of the driver of the Ford car, and particularly that produced by the plaintiff removed the case from the application of the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, and that such proof showed the collision to be due solely to the negligence of the driver of the Ford car. We cannot agree. The plaintiff was confronted with a situation where, in charging concurrent negligence, she was entitled to the application of the doctrine

indigenous Australians, many of the place names come from explorers and the days of European settlement in the early 1800s. For example, Beagle Gulf is named after the HMS Beagle, the vessel that Charles Darwin famously sailed on. The Port of Darwin was named after the well-known evolutionary biologist even though he never visited the region.
Travelling inland, a large portion of the territory is designated as national park or conservation land. Kakadu National Park is the largest national park in Australia. Djukbinj National Park, approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Darwin, is mainly comprised of wetlands. Litchfield National Park attracts tourists with several waterfalls, the Blyth Homestead (a 1920s remnant of a typical pioneer home), and enormous termite mounds. The Cobourg Peninsula (top right) separates the ArafuraSea and Van Diemen Gulf and is designated as the Garig Gunak National Park.

take turns with others in our mens group and lately we were studying koinonia together - the word in the New Testament which translates as partnership, participing, sharing. One of the guys commented on how he was caught up in hero worship and in particular heroes that were connected with a tragic death. In a broken way there was a sense we felt of yearning for Christ our righteous hero who tragically dies, but being the hero he is serves us in his death as well life, and remarkably including us in his risen life. We are raised with him. I'm grateful that our inclusion in God in Christ means that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit embrace us much more closely than we can think or imagine.

June 28, 2008|By Scott Powers, Sentinel Staff Writer
Walt Disney World is shutting down the six nightclubs at Pleasure Island to make its party district at Downtown Disney more family friendly.
BET SoundStage Club, Mannequins Dance Palace, 8Trax and three other clubs that have for years catered largely to young, single adults -- rather than to Disney's bread-and-butter family market -- will close after Sept. 27.
During the next couple of years, Disney will reopen the Pleasure Island venues with a broader mix of restaurants and shops.
Pleasure Island's change has been the subject of rumors for a while. Now 19 years old, it may have seemed an odd venture for Disney, but it appeared to thrive -- so much so

The undecided voter
Back across the county border, around an hour away, there was one more canvass to catch up with before darkness fell.
Volunteers from Roscommon Save the 8th had met in the town earlier in the evening. Smaller groups had been dispatched to rural areas while three campaigners stayed on on the outskirts of the town, re-canvassing an estate they’d already covered some time ago.
Maria Ní Mhathuna, a regional organiser with the pro-life group, said they had knocked on virtually every door in the county – but that they still intended to ramp up activity in the weeks remaining.
We actually started knocking on doors two years ago, it’s an important question.
In terms of people who had made up their minds, she said it was “pretty much as you’dother family members.
Finally, a man in his early 30s said he was yet to make up his mind and needed to do a lot more homework on the subject. He’d seen the Late Late Show debate the previous Friday, he said, and was leaning towards a Yes as a result. Some of the personal cases discussed had gotten to him, he said.
We remained on the doorstep for a good ten minutes as Ní Mhathuna made her case. She had been shocked when she heard the details of the planned legislation, she said… Abortion harmed women as much as it did the unborn child.
Before he eventually hurried back in (he said he had to rescue the dinner from the oven), I asked the man if his unexpected caller had

Arab Region: Report Finds Rise in
Petty Corruption
Transparency International issues damning
summary - Corruption among senior state officials and politicians
in the Arab worldwas rampant in 2001-02, although incidences
of grand corruption declined, according to a damning new report
from Transparency International, the world's leading anti-corruption
NGO. In its analysis of corruption in the Arab world, the
Global Corruption Report 2003, released Wednesday, argues
that a decline in real income due to global recession has
seen a rise in petty corruption in the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) region. The prevalence of grand corruption has
decreased in the region only because of "reduced opportunities
for 'commissions' as a result of an economic recession,"
the report states. "Global slowdown, reduced investment
in emerging markets and a fall in oil prices has resulted
in declining capital investment and a slump in construction
and arms procurement." The report argues that in a widespread
climate of authoritarian rule in the MENA region, the root
causes of corruption have failed

Series: I hate white: "Stained" 2011
This is the third and last performance from the series I hate white, a trilogie dealing with nationalism, racism and violence. This piece was presented at Kurt Kurt Forever in Sant Denis.
The piece deals with the idea of Tacheé(Stained, Manchados), the idea of being somehow a visible minority and with the destruction of the idols, the symbols and those icons that we though once untachable.

rosa is a multidisplinary artistwhose practice extend to installations, performance, video and public interventions. Her works are a response to her surroundings that become dissected and reconstructed in a new narrative that exposes whatever that triggers her in amusement or disgust.
Her practice takes often an observant and humoristic approach. Her pieces explore areas of semiotics and the art practice, identity, nomadism, migration, feminism and the hybrid and changing state of contemporary culture. In the last years her practice of performance in the public spaces has began to develop toward what she choses to describe as social engaged art defining it as an art practice that believes that art is a motor for social chance as it creates spaces of debate, creativity and health.

short of stunning. As a
huge H.G. Lewis fan and a film preservationist at heart, it feels
great to have these previously lost films not only available, but
also released with a lot of love and attention.

In honor of one of my favorite actor's birthday, the inimitable John Amplas, I am re-posting an article I wrote about George Romero's best film, MARTIN. Originally published in issue #22 of Screem magazine, it was a real joy getting to share it with the man himself a couple of years ago. (With much thanks to my friend & fellow film writer Greg Goodsell for encouraging me to do so!) Anyways, enjoy! +
Some people believe that monsters are
born, not made-that there are those who are literally a “bad seed”
that grows up tofilm, courtesy of cinematographer Michael Gornick. The
framing, the choice of camera angles, all of it is tight and plays up
everything that needs to be played up. Tension is created during the
stalk and kill scenes, though some of the most haunting scenes are
the ones of Martin walking around the city at night. The sense of
loneliness is damn near tangible, making the movie all the more
effective and powerful.
Martin is one of the greatest
horror films ever made. Not because of the blood, but because it
shows the damage that can be done when one’s family, biology, and
mental state fails them. This movie is a masterpiece of nuance,
emotion, and the deep fissures in the human condition.

In Russia, home to 39 per cent of the world’s Orthodox Christians, people enjoy more days off over Christmas than any other country in Europe, starting on New Year’s Day and carrying through to Orthodox Christmas day.
During the Soviet era, the celebration of Christmas was banned (along with the celebration of other religious holidays).

as himself (pitching) in the 1962 thriller Experiment in Terror starring Glenn Ford and Lee Remick.
Drydale's 1958 Topps baseball card served as a focal point in the 2000 movie Skipped Parts starring Jennifer Jason Leigh. In it a grandfather (R. Lee Ermey) makes his 14-year-old grandson (Bug Hall) throw a stack of baseball cards into a fire as a rite of passage of growing up. However, the boy saves the Drysdale baseball card, which is later seen in the final scene of the film.
Drysdale appears as a soldier in the E-Club in The Last Time I Saw Archie (1961) starring Robert Mitchum and Jack Webb.

Newcastle Knights owner Nathan Tinkler has run afoul of the NRL after court documents revealed he bet on his team to beat the Warriors in 2011.
Tinkler is being sued in the Northern Territory Supreme Court by betting agency Luxbet, which accuses the multi-millionaire of unpaid debts.
Court documents showed the mining magnate placed a $25,000 bet on the Knights to beat the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium on August 13, 2011, five months after he took ownership of the club.

Fuente, President of the International Association of Universities (IAU) and a Member of the Board of the United Nations University, said it was important to understand what was meant by human development. The fact that United States President Barack Obama was fighting to bring health care to uninsured Americans was proof that inequality existed in all countries, not just developing ones. Human development was needed everywhere. The focus must be on people, rights, culture and autonomy, not weapons. World security required democratic States, a more efficient and democratic United Nations and sustainable development. But for many people, globalization had not satisfied their legitimate aspirations to a decent job and a better future for their children.
Many current conflicts were rooted in inequality, he said. Greater consistency in international policieson poverty reduction, health, education, labour, human rights and environmental conservation was needed. Contrary to what was recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), many Governments were actually cutting their education budgets. They were investing too much in military spending and not enough on what was really needed to achieve human security. That trend must change.
Echoing the speakers, Carmen Rosa de Leon-Escribano, Executive Director of the Guatemala-based Teaching Institute for Sustainable Development (IEPADES), who moderated the round table, said human security ‑‑ the freedom from fear and want ‑‑ was the true foundation for peace and human development. Global security must be redefined in a way in which civil society, local communities and States promoted human needs and sustainable development over military spending.

The
Lord determines these events because their failings—as Isaiah described
in such detail—and their refusal to correct their attitudes and
behavior necessitate punishment on the order of national destruction.
God’s covenant people have broken their part of the agreement and

The
scene has shifted. The situation has changed. The threat from Assyria
now seems a distant memory. A new reality encompasses the people of God:
Jerusalem and its glorious temple have been destroyed, and the key
citizens of Judah have been carried off into exile by the Babylonians.

tradition credits the entire book to Isaiah of Jerusalem, many scholars
think these next 16 chapters are recorded by another prophet years

Saved 37 games for Seattle in 2011, but lost his job early last season due to general lack of impressiveness. Throws a hard sinker so he gets ground balls but not many K's. Pitched better in 27 innings for the Dodgers last season so they gave him a bunch of money. Controlwas fine in 2011, not so fine last year.
Before becoming a closer: Didn't make it as a starter in the minors despite high-90s fastball.

Patriarchate,
transformed by the conqueror Basil II Bulgaroktonus into an autocephalous
Bulgarian Archbishopric, remained in Ochrid.
Fig. 3. Political changes in the Balkans,
A.D. 972-1185.
For the third time, by virtue of administrative decisions and for terminological
and political reasons, ancient Macedonia re-established its name – Bulgaria.
At that time it took a regional sense, without, however, replacing the
general name of Bulgaria, existing simultaneously with it, or the archaized
Byzantine term of Moesia, in the sense of the lands, inhabited by a Bulgarian
population. The Bulgarians, however, stuck to the division of their homeland
into the customary three parts.
There was a change with the restoration of the Bulgarian Empire in 1185.
Its centre again returned to the Upper Land, and Turnovo became the capital
city. From the viewpoint of the population of the Lower Land (i.e. ancient
Macedonia), as well asthat of the Byzantine themes Macedonia and Thrace
the Upper Land was called Zagore. (Note that the regional name Zagore was
given to land which was inhabited by a homogenous population, which, however,
was separated by a mountain, serving as a frontier.) This was possible,
after its fall under Byzantine rule in 972. At that time, mountain massifs,
serving as frontier areas with the Byzantine Empire, separated it from
Bulgarian lands, with a state centre in Ochrida, which remained free and
independent until A.D. 1018. Being a shorter term, Zagore was the preferred
form and a synonym of the Upper Land or Upper Bulgaria for the inhabitants
of the Lower Land.
After Turnovo was proclaimed capital and the seat of its Archbishop
(and later Patriarch), the rulers and the head of the Bulgarian Church
acquired the name Zagorski or Zagorian.

shadowy presences that somehow decided to make themselves known today. I pour the coffee, gaze out the window at last things: the reddening apples, the tall white shafts of hosta blossoms, the budding hydrangeas that won't fully blossom until we're gone, the tight green blackberries, the white-throated sparrow anxiously guarding her nest... and everywhere I go in the yard, the catbird precedes me, flicking his tail in the low shrubs.
In the afternoon I had to do an errand, and found myself on the street we always took to see my father-in-law. On a sudden impulse, I turned in, and drove slowly up to the entrance, around the back, and looked up at the balcony of his old apartment. Someone had planted the windowboxes with dark purpley-red petunias, whichand stows the books in the stroller along with a whole pile of others - she's been at the village library.

Meanwhile Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described such Western claims about its nuclear program a "myth."
"Americans, Europeans and some apple polishers fabricated the myth of nuclear weapons to say that the Islamic Republic was a threat. No. The threat is America itself," he told military commanders Sunday.
Khamenei's remarks are seen as an effort by Iran to toughen its position ahead of the next round of talks.Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban reportedly reinforced Trump's view that Ukraine was a "hopelessly corrupt" country.
Current and former US officials told The Washington Post that Putin and Orban, along with Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, reinforced negative views of Ukraine.
Trump discussed investigating his political rival former Vice President Joe Biden during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During the call, Trump also pushed an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about Ukraine's involvement in efforts to undermine him during the 2016 election.
His conversation with Zelensky and the possible solicitation of foreign influence in the election are at the center of the House impeachment inquiry against Trump.

A lawyer for Brunson said Friday that he was on his way back to the U.S.
My thoughts and prayers are with Pastor Brunson, and we hope to have him safely back home soon! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2018
"We're grateful to the president, members of Congress and diplomatic leaders who continued to put pressure on Turkey to secure the freedom of Pastor Brunson," lawyer Jay Sekulow, who represents Brunson's family, said in a statement received by the Reuters news agency. "The fact that he is now on a plane to the United States can only be viewed as a significantvictory for Pastor Brunson and his family."
Brunson told the court on Friday that he is "an innocent man. I love Jesus, I love Turkey."
Friday's hearing took place in a prison complex near the western city of Izmir. Brunson arrived in a secured convoy before daybreak. The evangelical pastor was convicted of terror-related charges, but he was also accused of espionage. Prosecutors had been seeking up to a 35-year sentence.
Brunson, 50, who has lived in Turkey for more than two decades, has always rejected the charges and strongly maintained his innocence. He is one of thousands caught up in a wide-scale government crackdown that followed a failed coup against the Turkish government in July 2016.
Prosecutors accused Brunson of committing crimes on behalf of terror groups, linking him to outlawed

of 1959, he called the defendant, Ila Green, in Rockford, and told her about Mrs. Banta's condition and informed her that the company would have to send the checks to a bank or to someone who could keep track of them and see that they were properly endorsed. He and Ila Green also discussed the possibility of Mrs. Banta moving to Rockford. He also listed the annuity numbers with her and apparently arranged to have the checks sent to her address.
Late in August of 1959, Ila Green and her husband helped Mrs. Banta close her apartment in Chicago and move, temporarily, to the Green home in Rockford, and it was during the time she was living in the Green home *95 that the transactions in question took place.On August 29, Mrs. Banta rented a safe-deposit box in the name of herself and Ila Green; on August 31, 1959, a checking account was opened in the name of Mrs. Banta and Ila Green, jointly, with an initial deposit of $1,500 which was taken from Mrs. Banta's personal account in Chicago; and on September 4, 1959, a similar joint savings account was opened with an initial deposit of $3,000.
The employee of the Rockford bank who opened these accounts had known Mrs. Banta for a number of years. Her testimony, relative to the conversations at the time the accounts were opened, indicated that she felt that Mrs. Banta was fully aware of the nature of her transactions and fully competent.

Journalists wait outside the Cosmonaut hotel, from where the UAE astronauts, Hazzaa AlMansoori and Sultan Al Neyadi, will head to the launch site.
A historic journey
First Emirati astronaut Hazzaa AlMansoori will blast off to space onboard the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft with Russian commander Oleg Skripochka and Nasa astronaut Jessica Meir from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Hazzaa will carry on his shoulders the hopes and dreams of Emiratis and Arabs as he breaks through into the space frontier by being the first Emirati in space and first Arab on the ISS.

Creech Air Force Base is a secret facility outside Las Vegas, where military and Air Force pilots sitting in dark and air-conditioned rooms, 7100 miles from Syria and Afghanistan, remotely control their "targeted killing" drone campaign in a video-game-style warfare.
From this ground zero, Air Force pilots fire missiles just by triggering a joystick on a targeted areas half a world away, as well as operate drones for surveillance and intelligence gathering.

We turn first to the District Court’s handling of the motion to recuse, then to
the motion for a new trial.
A.
Judge Fuller asked the Chief Judge of the Eleventh Circuit to appoint a judge
to hear and decide the motion to recuse, and the Chief Judge appointed Judge
Robert Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida. Judge Hinkle denied the motion
in an order entered on June 29, 2011. He did so after a74 S. Ct. 693, 694–695, 98 L. Ed. 884
(1954). It prohibits the federal government from denying to any person in the
United States the equal protection of the laws. Scrushy seeks the vacation of his
convictions, and perhaps a judgment of acquittal, on the ground that the
Government denied him equal protection in prosecuting him for the crimes
contained in the second superseding indictment.
30
Scrushy argues that Judge Fuller abused his discretion in denying his motion for a new
trial without an evidentiary hearing. An evidentiary hearing was not required because the record
contained all the evidence needed to dispose of each of the grounds asserted as a basis for a new
trial.

Two Neighborlee books have already come out from Uncial -- "Divine's Emporium," which came out in November, and "Have yourself a Faerie Little Christmas," which came out in December.
The next book, which I have already promised Jude, is titled "Divine Knight," and will deal with the back story of Angela, the proprietress of Divine's Emporium. She's left little hints that she's been around a looooong time, and she has some secrets.
In "Divine Knight," you'll finally meet her true love, who has been separated from her for .... well, a really,and Baedrix's relationship is left hanging, or rather, it's just about to launch.
In the short story and the book, their characters married, but in the book it their marriage got off to a rocky start. After all, he was an extremely "old fashioned" man, who thought a royal maiden was delicate and didn't know anything about war and passion and she would just swoon on their wedding night. Emrillian is a very modern girl raised to basically say, "It needs doing, so I'm going to do it," and if she's married to a gorgeous hunk in shining armor, she's going to enjoy all the perks of marriage. He doesn't get that -- he thinks something is wrong with her.
Not a good foundation.

MOSCOW, May 27. /TASS/. Russia believes the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea cannot be applicable in the situation around the Kerch Strait and will continue consistently defending its position on this issue, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"In case with the Kerch Strait, the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea cannot be applied, our Foreign Ministry has clarified this in detail. Russia will certainly continue consistently defending its viewpoint on this story," Peskov said.
Three Ukrainian warships illegally entered Russia’s territorial waters in the Kerch Strait on November 25, 2018. Despite the repeated warnings and demands to stop, the Ukrainian vessels continued their way, forcing Russia to use weapons. Three Ukrainian servicemen were lightly wounded. The vessels were detained and 24 Ukrainian sailorsrally today as the monsoon continues. Cargil moved there bid back to the August futures t today.

Working as a guard at the Museum of Modern Art in the 1950s, Robert Ryman passed his time studying the paintings of colorists such as Henri Matisse. Their work inspired him to become an artist himself. Ever since, nearly every painting he's exhibited has been solid white.
Or so it appears at first glance. A closer look at his work – a selection of which is now on view at Dia:Chelsea – reveals that Ryman is a colorist. In fact, he's one of the best.
Ryman's early paintings often began with bold colors slathered on canvas or paper. These colors were then covered in white –

Land! "It also conceded to the colony exemption from taxation for twenty years, and for the same period the exclusive right to the fishery in all the Malvinas, and on the coast of the continent to the southward of the Rio Negro, under the condition that within three years I (Vernet) should have established the colony."‡
About this time merchant-vessels of all nations visited the Falkland Islands, both in their outward voyage and when returning from the Pacific; but advantageous as their visits were, those of numerous sealers had a very different effect: for, instead of frequenting the settlement, their crews killed the seal indiscriminately at all seasons, and slaughtered great numbers of wild cattle. "For this reason," says Vernet, "I
requested the Government to furnish me with a vesselof war, to enable me to cause the rights of the colony to be respected. The Government was aware of the necessity of the measure; but not being then able to place a vessel at my disposal, it resolved to invest me with a public and official character, and for that purpose issued the two decrees of the 10th of June: the one re-establishing the governorship of the Malvinas and Tierra del Fuego; and the other nominating me to fulfil that office."*
In 1829, Vernet warned off some North American sealers; and in 1831, upon their repeating the sealing excursion of which he had complained, he detained them by force. This act, and various circumstances arising out of it, drew upon him and his unfortunate colony the hasty indignation

minutes left and the Lakers trailing by four, stepping on the floor with a measured focus and authority. Moments later, after four Lakers points were taken off the board during an official review midway through the fourth quarter turning a Lakers lead into a deficit, James motioned to teammates with a nod and a calming gesture.
Ninety seconds later, James would unleash a vicious tomahawk jam after blowing by Clint Capela on the perimeter, leaving Eric Gordon to put up futile resistance at the rim. From there, James and Brandon Ingram would virtually alternate buckets. The lone exception was a vintage, overhead, two-handed kickout on the move from James to Lakers newbie Reggie Bullock for an open 3-pointer (credit Ingram for screening Chris Paul, preventing the close out) toput the Lakers in control with 91 seconds left.
Given the strength of the opponent, Harden's dominance in recent weeks and Ingram's contributions (27 points and 13 rebounds), the win Thursday was a welcome relief from the narrative carousel that has consumed the team since L'Affaire Davis. Maybe the precarious nature of the Lakers' playoff prospects can concentrate attention -- the team's, the media's, the league's -- on the floor, where the Lakers' season will be rendered a success or a failure.
Because aside from the dwindling buyout market, the transactional portion of the season has gone dark. For the next seven weeks, there will be no trades, no free-agent acquisitions, no pitch meetings and, given the late date, probably no firings. All that's left for the Lakers and LeBron

of Scouting, and Frederick Russell Burnham, the American born Chief of Scouts for the British Army, first met and began their lifelong friendship. In mid-June 1896, during a scouting patrol in the Matobo Hills, Burnham began teaching Baden-Powell woodcraft. Baden-Powell and Burnham discussed the concept of a broad training programme in woodcraft for young men, rich in exploration, tracking, fieldcraft, and self-reliance. It was also during this time in the Matobo Hills that Baden-Powell first started to wear his signature campaign hat like the one worn by Burnham.
Scouting in the former Rhodesia and Nyasaland started in 1909 when the first Boy Scout troop was registered. Scouting grew quickly and in 1924 Rhodesia and Nyasaland sent a large contingent to the second World Scout Jamboree in Ermelunden, Denmark. In1959, Rhodesia hosted the Central African Jamboree at Ruwa. In 2009, Scouts celebrated 100 years of Scouting in Zimbabwe and hundreds of Scouts camped at Gordon Park, a Scout campground and training area, as part of these celebrations.
Besides scouting, there are also leadership, life skills and general knowledge courses and training experiences mainly for school children ranging from pre-school to final year high school students and some times those beyond High school. These courses and outings, are held at places like Lasting Impressions (Lasting Impressions ~Zimbabwe on YouTube), Far and Wide Zimbabwe (Far and wide.) and Chimanimani Outward Bound (Outwardbound Zimbabwe at the Wayback Machine (archived 16 June 2007)), Just to name a few.

Tsipras, who also holds the post of foreign minister, will make an official visit to Turkey on Feb. 5-6 upon the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday.
The visit will address all areas of bilateral relations and relevant regional and international developments, seeking to take steps to improve cooperation, the statement added.

that most of the organizers are not very religious, either,” Pankowski, a sociologist, said. “But they use Christianity as a kind of identity marker, which is mostly about being anti-Islam now.”
The march has become one of the largest such demonstrations in Europe, and on Saturday it drew far-right leaders from elsewhere in Europe, including Tommy Robinson from Britain and Roberto Fiore from Italy.
American white supremacist Richard Spencer was scheduled to speak at a conference in Warsaw on Friday — until the Polish government said he wasn't welcome in the country.
State broadcaster TVP, which reflects the conservative government's line, called the demonstration a "great march of patriots," and in its broadcasts described the event as one that drew mostly regular Poles expressing their love of Poland, not extremists.
"It wasa beautiful sight," Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said. "We are proud that so many Poles have decided to take part in a celebration connected to the Independence Day holiday."

A smaller counter-protest by an anti-fascist movement also took place. Organizers kept the two groups apart to prevent violence. However, there was one incident in which the nationalists pushed and kicked several women who chanted anti-fascism slogans and had a banner saying "Stop Fascism."

Pompeo's predecessor, Rex Tillerson, spent much of his tenure trying to mediate the dispute, which also involved Egypt and Bahrain, but without success. The Saudis, keen observers of Washington's power dynamics, knew that Tillerson had a strained relationship with President Donald Trump and so ignored him, particularly because Trump sided with the Saudis in the early days of the dispute.A Chief Solution

A man has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of Ian Ogle in east Belfast on 27 January.
The 32-year-old suspect was detained at Manchester Airport on Sunday evening on suspicion of murder.
He is due to be brought to Northern Ireland for questioning by the PSNI.
Mr Ogle, 45, died after he was stabbed and beaten in the street near his home in Cluan Place off the Albertbridge Road.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter McKenna said: "Following excellent partnership working with UK and international partners, the man was detained in Manchester Airport this evening.
'Brutal attack'
"At this time, I would also reiterate my appeal for witnesses to this horrific murder. Ian Ogle was subjected to a brutalattack.
"His skull was fractured and he was savagely stabbed 11 times in the back before being left to die on the street. His family deserve justice."
A 33-year-old man appeared in court on 8 February charged with Mr Ogle's murder.
Image copyright PA Image caption A large crowd of mourners attended Mr Ogle's funeral
Jonathan Brown, from McArthur Court in Belfast, denies planning, preparing and committing the offence.
He is due to appear in court again on 8 March.
The latest arrest brings to 15 the number of people detained in relation to the killing, but only one person has so far been charged.

to do anything else. Her condition was bothering her, but for what reasons he couldn't necessarily piece together, so he decided to show her that he'd do whatever it took to make sure they would always remain a couple. It's not like Renton thought he could make his arm exactly like hers, but dammit, he was going to do his best for her. Renton's actions brought Eureka back to reality in a very effective way.
Another thing that I especially despised was when you accused Eureka of 'guilt tripping' Maurice. Come on, was any of what she was saying wrong? Maurice did say accuse Renton of causing her body to change, and he said that he wanted it to go back...Eureka was making him realize that if he wantedto love her, he would have to love what she had become as well. In doing this, she by proxy was saying that Renton isn't all bad, that she would accept these changes as part of herself.
And as a more general statement(not speaking to Cille in particular here), people keep saying that what he did wasn't the best thing, but I haven't heard a single suggestion of what the "best thing" would've been. Apparently you're all as clueless as Renton is, but still willing to pass judgment on his actions
No one should pass judgment on Renton. He was doing the best that he could with what he had at the time. What teenager would know what to do if his sweety started glowing green?

later at the trial, upon being called as a witness in his own behalf, appellant testified that he agreed to take the officers to Stockton before the five dollar offer was made; that subsequent to that agreement, the grand officer told appellant that he would give him the five dollars, which he could collect from the Young Men's Institute as mileage, to defray appellant's expenses on the trip; and that he (appellant) accepted the offer but still insisted that he was going to take the men to Stockton because of his friendship for them and in the interest of the organization, and not because of the promised money payment. If this latter testimony were accepted as true, then it would follow that the promise of the $5 paymentfriendship for the men and in the interest of the organization. On the other hand, the jury could have accepted as true only that portion of the deposition in which the appellant stated that he was being paid $5 by the Y. M. I. for his gas and oil "for driving up there." Because of the verdict in favor of the respondents, it must be assumed that the jury accepted as true the statement made in the deposition, and that it rejected the statements made at the trial in regard to the promised $5 payment. At the time of giving his deposition, appellant made no claim that he was driving the deceased and the other occupants of his car to Stockton in the interest of the organization and
