Danegeld
The rune stone U 344 in Orkesta, Uppland, Sweden, raised in memory of the Viking Ulf of Borresta, says that he had taken three danegelds in England. The first one was with Skagul Toste, the second one with Thorkel the High, and the last one with Canute the Great.
The Danegeld ("Dane gold") was an English tribute raised to pay off Viking raiders to save the land from being ravaged. The expeditions were usually led by the Danish kings, but they were composed by warriors from all over Scandinavia, and they eventually brought home more than 100 tons of silver. During the period when the Vikings extracted this money, the people of the English nation were not as skilled at sea-faring as their Scandinavian cousins, whose raiding voyages acrosspayment of the Danegeld to the Vikings took place in 856. English payment, of 10,000 pounds (3,732 kg) of silver, was also made in 991 following the Viking victory at the Battle of Maldon in Essex, when King Aethelred "The Unready" was advised by Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury and the aldermen of the south-western provinces to buy off the Vikings rather than continue the armed struggle.
In 994 the Danes, under King Sweyn Forkbeard and Olaf Trygvason, returned and laid siege to London. They were once more bought off, and the amount of silver paid impressed the Danes with the idea that it was more profitable to extort payments from the English than to take whatever booty they could plunder.

The Sultanate's untouched coral reefs and diverse marine life can rival those of other famed diving hotspots in the region like Malaysia and around Indonesia, according to William Tan, a famous Singaporean underwater photographer who recently went on a four-day diving expedition in the waters of Brunei Darussalam.
On his impressions of his first-time diving in Brunei waters, William told the Weekend Bulletin: "The fishes and creatures in the waters here are not afraid of people and it provided (great) opportunities to take pictures.
"In other famous diving sites (in other regions), the fishes would quickly swim away if they saw humans.
"Some of the marine life found in the waters of Brunei are rare ... (It would be) hard to find (them) in other countries."
The 47-year-old, who is also aprofessional violinist, has travelled around the world in his quest to photograph and document unique marine life. Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, Taiwan and Solomon Island are just some of his previous diving destinations.
William has been taking underwater photos since 1995, and his masterworks have been featured in popular magazines such as Scuba Divers AustralAsia, Asia Divers, Easy Dive and Sport Diving.
"I never would have imagined to find so many different diving sites here in Brunei," he said, adding that he had come across an old oilrig, shipwrecks, coral reefs and sandy corals during his diving expedition.
With the assistance of Oceanic Quest, William and his friends were able to dive three times a day for the past four days. He was pleased to have captured stunning photos of

During the 1870s, John T. Wilder, an industrialist and former Union general, began purchasing large tracts of iron ore-rich lands in the Roan Mountain area, and established several mining operations in the region. In the early 1880s, he established the Roan Mountain community, originally known as Roan Mountain Station, as a stop along the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad ("Tweetsie"). He laid out streets, planted trees, and built a hotel, the Roan Mountain Inn, as well as a house for histhey say the event is about expressing your "rawest self" in a "safe and welcoming, non-judgmental environment."

Both continued onto I-95 north and the bus driver signaled for the Dodge to pull over near the Airport Road exit ramp, state police said. Both pulled over and got out.
"Accounts of the incident by the participants and witnesses established that the two participants were in a heated exchange on the side of the interstate when the Dodge Durango driver produced an object from his pocket and sprayed the bus driver in the face with mace, and, nearly simultaneously, the bus driver removed a lawfully possessed and concealed handgun from his pocket and fired a single shot, striking the Durango driver," Lawes said in an email Wednesday morning.
The bus driver remained on the sceneand called 911 while offering the man he shot first aid. The Dodge driver, 53, was hospitalized but survived and was later released.
Desmond Chisholm, a resident of Bear, pulled over to the side of I-95 that day to help. He said the bus driver was still there and spoke briefly to Chisholm.
"He said he (the Durango driver) tried to Mace him and he shot him in self-defense. And that's the only thing I heard from him," Desmond Chisholm, a resident of Bear, said.
There were no Saint Francis patients in the bus involved in the incident, which is used to shuttle elderly patients to and from Saint Francis Life Center in Wilmington's Riverfront.
The bus driver lost his job because the health care company's policy forbids employees from carrying firearms,

"This volume provides a superb examination of Argentine-U.S. relations between the early nineteenth and the early twenty-first century. Throughout this history, U.S. policy toward Argentina was often 'contained' within a zone of suspicion. The book shows how each country misunderstood each other's foreign policy, a case in point being the Falkland/Malvinas War in 1982, and how Argentina was the focus of a major U.S. policy shift when the US chose not to provide aid during the economic crisis of December 2001."
—Dr. Kristin Ruggiero, Professor of History and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"Sheinin's study is particularly strong on the cultural interchange between Argentina and the United States. He draws from his earlier research to provide interesting and detailed coverage ofthe juxtapositioning of the two countries within the Pan-American movement and of the intricate negotiations surrounding the Argentine nuclear program in the 1970s and 1980s. This thoughtful overview fills a significant remaining gap in the United States and the Americas series."
—Ken Lehman, Hampden-Sydney College
Description
In the first English-language survey of Argentine-U.S. relations to appear in more than a decade, David M. K. Sheinin challenges the accepted view that confrontation has been the characteristic state of affairs between the two countries. Sheinin draws on both Spanish- and English-language sources in the United States, Argentina, Canada, and Great Britain to provide a broad perspective on the two centuries of shared U.S.-Argentine history with fresh focus in particular on cultural ties, nuclear politics in the cold war era, the politics of human

[The microvascularization of the penis of the steer (Bos taurus)].
The blood supply and the microvascularization of the bovine penis (Bos taurus) were demonstrated using the scanning electron microscope. The Corpus cavernosum penis of the bull consists of a surprisingly well-developed mesh of small to intermediate vessels. The architecture of the cavernous body is largely determined by trabeculae of connective tissue, the extent of which varies between penis segments. The Corpus cavernosum is arranged primarily as a ring around the trabeculae of connective tissue. Chambers of large bore are found in the central portions of the Corpus cavernosum penis, whereas a relatively fine vascular network predominates in the periphery. Vessels in the cavernous body of the urethra, on the other hand, show strictly parallel orientation to the urethra, whichthey surround like a sleeve. They also stand in close association with vessels in the outer layer of the Tunica albuginea. The vascular systems of the Corpus cavernosum penis and the Corpus spongiosum penis are not connected with one another. The vascular architecture of the Glans penis is characterized by the inclusion of well-developed vascular arcades at regular intervals. These course through a connective tissue matrix rich in glycoproteins and stretch to just under the skin of the penis, where they are intimately associated with a subpapillary network of arteries and veins. The venous legs of the vascular arcades are supplied by this network of veins. The Glans penis of the bull is considered to represent a specialization of the penile integument.

Police uncovered a photo of the 63 year old posing with a sheep carcass while raiding his home during an investigation into allegations of 'harassment and stalking' made against him.
He had rekindled an infatuation for a schoolfriend 50 years later and began stalking her, despite not having seen her since they left school in 1972.
Prosecuting, Sadie Rizzo said: "Mr Cunion had his computer seized from his home in September 2018 in relation to an unrelated investigation. Police then examined his computer and he was arrested again in June 2019.
"He went on to describe another incident involving a deer."
Sentencing at Bournemouth Crown Court, Judge Oba Nsugbe QC told the defendant there was an 'element of depravity' to his offending.
He said: "Despite careful enquiries and long discussions, the Probation Service is unable to fully understand what precisely drove you to have this activity in your life.

"He claimed he had an 80-85 percent track record of getting people approved for disability," Bill said. "So I was like, 'Hey this guy must be really good.'"
Bill says he also saw Haberle had a PhD from Wellington Shaw Christian University. But after three sessions, he says he grew suspicious, and started doing research.
"He supposedly gave himself his own PhD to become a psychologist, which is ridiculous," Bill said.
A Google search revealed Wellington Shaw Christian University was advertised as an online college that bragged about getting the quality of an Ivy League education with the convenience and affordability that only an online university can offer.
On Manta.com, it states theuniversity proudly featured some of today's greatest minds in the areas of psychology, theology, Biblical leadership and business teaching. On Yelp.com, it showed WSCU specialized in substance abuse, depression, anxiety and mental health but stated it had grown to be one of the top-rated mental health and substance abuse clinics in Central Florida, not a university.
News 6 went to the address listed for Wellington Shaw Christian University and discovered it led to a house in a gated community in Ocoee, the same house Haberle lists as his home address.
Even though Haberle is out of jail on bond, he wasn't home when we came to ask questions about the university and the allegations against him. However, a family member was and told us she did not know about the

I hope, and indeed, I hope I am not alone, when I say
that I believe that the tide isbeginning to turn as far as official concern regarding banking
wrongdoing is concerned.
I am starting to sense a stiffening of the sinews among
those responsible for over-seeing the activities and the actions of the banks,
and although the stirrings are small at present, I hope that they will continue
to increase, as more and more, those responsible for banking management, are
required to give an account of themselves.
Yesterday 25th February, saw an interesting
example of what I mean.

external world and contemporary events. What has threatened her
perception of identity can be traced, at least for its proximate cause, to the grotesque
pictorial representations of man, woman, and child. What so disturbs "Elizabeth"
that she loses the sense of self one takes for granted in order to live in the world? Lee
Edelman addresses this issue:
Though only in the course of reading the magazine does "Elizabeth" perceive
the inadequacy of her positioning as a reader, Bishop's text implies from the outset the
insufficiency of any mode of interpretation that claims to release the meaning it locates
"inside" a text by asserting its own ability to speak from a position of mastery
"outside" of it. For this reason everything that "Elizabeth"encounters
in the pages of the National Geographic serves to disturb the stability of a binary
opposition.
Thisdisturbance incorporates, moreover, a questioning of the internalized structures
and cultural codes that inform the interpretation of experience. If Bishop's sexual
poetics more generally deconstructs the binary oppositions of heterosexist discourse,
"In the Waiting Room" addresses a related epistemological concern that arises
from Bishop's destabilization of the distinctions by which persons organize information
about themselves and their world. Edelman continues, "Though Bishop's text, then, has
challenged the stability of distinctions between inside and outside, male and female,
literal and figurative, human and bestial, young 'Elizabeth' reads on from her own
position of liminality in the waiting room until she confronts, at last, an image of women
and their infants: . . ." By focusing on "Elizabeth's" vexed response to
the horrific image of maternal sexuality, Edelman introduces us to the larger question of
female sexuality in Bishop's work as

he urges us to hear the "oh!" that
"emanates from inside the dentist's office, and from inside the waiting room, and
from inside the National Geoqraphic, and from inside 'In the Waiting Room.' It is a
cry that cries out against any attempt to clarify its confusions because it is a female
cry - a cry of the female - that recognizes the attempts to clarify it as attempts to put
it in its place." That voice of protest emanating from an epistemological
uncertainty, echoes throughout Bishop's work in poems that reengage the mediations between
rhetoric and sexual identity. The fall away from awareness of distinctions disrupts the
assurance of a constitutive identity, and the restoration of that identity through the
intervention of the external is akin to the final stage of the experiential Sublime,
wherein the poet'sbeing human. And she wants to be sure to
make it through the perception of an individual, an "Elizabeth."
"In the Waiting Room" may be seen as a prelapsarian poem of anticipation of
that social state that precedes the acceptance of received namings; "Crusoe in
England" may be read as a postlapsarian meditation on the originating power of naming
and renaming. In reinventing the social world that connects the two, she seems willing to
reconsider all forms of "name" appropriation: place, family, sex, generation,
things. Discovering a world where (as Stevens found) "Mrs. Anderson's Swedish baby /
Might well have been German or Spanish," she then rejects all such forms of naming as
well as (what Foucault calls) "author construction." Each poem reenacts
"birth, procreation, and death" as a debate between naming and unnaming, the
loss imposed by a

for Bishop. She may require (what Beckett calls) a
"temporal specification""fifth / of February, 1918"to
allow her "to measure the days that separate [her] from that menace" (that which
threatens identity). The "falling off" enacted in this poem is the fall into
social identity, restrictive or inaccurate naming. The alternative seems to be the
"big black wave" of annihilation or namelessness. To be "back in it"
is to survive with a social surfacename, age, gender, placeat odds with the
continually unnamed self. "The War was on" presages a career intensely committed
to slipping the yoke of social identity and changing the rules of the name game.
The child of "In the Waiting Room" advances with uncertainty from the
passivity of reader to the tentative aggressiveness of writerto the authority of
authorship. The socializing power of language itself lures thediscern that the world of women, with whom she is suddenly
identified, includes many women of many colors, including white.
While waiting for her Aunt Consuela in the dentist's office, the young Elizabeth scans
through a National Geographic. She surveys among the pictures some black, naked
women with interesting necks:
wound round and round with wire
like the necks of light bulbs.
Their breasts were horrifying.
(Complete Poems 159)
While she is reading, her Aunt Consuela lets out an "Oh!" of pain, and
the young Elizabeth of the poem experiences a moment of sheer empathy with the aunt. She
empathizes in multiple confusing ways: with the pain, the fact of Aunt Consuela's
femaleness, with the family sound of the voice. The sensation is overwhelming and causes a
feeling of vertigo for Elizabeth.

Public II: Instead of the central political association which hosts many particular ethical conceptions, various ethical communities constitute the new publics. Not Public I, but these ethical communities and the private companies run by the members of these communities deliver 'public' services and carry out philanthropic projects and charity activities. Since these activities must be carried out under the imperatives of market rationality, profit becomes the primary aim; charity is at best considered a positive externality and at worst, merely a justificatory façade (the "minimal" state). (Cultural) Private III: The emergence of a sublimated set of traditionalsphere and life style and collectivizes the person's options. Both Private II and Private III, however, recognize the market as the just distributer of social outcomes. This is entirely at odds with the content of the original Public I, which is then recalibrated as Public II and allied with the idea of monoculturalist communities. Public II turns traditional culture into an area where state intervention is justified as a means of preserving culture and insofar as profit maximization and market logic constitute the ultimate rationality. Economic privatization and cultural collectivization, favored by Private II, Private III, and Public II, appeared precisely at a time when state intervention into the economy for egalitarian purposes was delegitimized in the discourse of both the right and the social democratic left alike.

of the fossil moths was produced not by pigments, however, but by physical structure.
Moth wings contain patterns of microscopic structures including ridges, cross-ribs, and branching micro-ribs. When light bounces off of these structures, it scatters in a specific way, producing visible color.
Structural color exists in insects, birds, mammals, fish, and even plants. In September, McNamara and her colleagues reported that they'd deciphered the structural colors of ancient beetle fossils. Moths presented a more sophisticated challenge. "[Structural colors] are most diverse, and most complex, in butterflies and moths," McNamara said in her presentation.
With that complexity in mind, she and her colleagues studied a collection of fossil moths unearthed from the oil shales of Messel, Germany, a site famous among paleontologists for its exceptionally preserved fossils. The moths were similarto modern-day forester moths, a group of bright metallic moths in the family Zygaenidae.
Studying the microscopic structures in the fossil moths' wings, the researchers reconstructed how the insects appeared in life. The moths' bodies were bright yellow-green, and they also sported yellow-green wings rimmed in blue. Unlike their modern cousins, however, these fossil moths did not appear metallic.
Moth and butterfly scales are made up of layered sheets that typically produce iridescent colors. These colors appear to change hue, and seem to flash on and off, depending on the viewing angle.
But the fossil moths suppressed their shimmer and flash. Various physical structures such as tiny holes and well-spaced ridges on the moths scales dampened the iridescence, resulting in bright, solid color that was visible from nearly any angle.

to find and focus on what still "jazzes" someone about their work. For example, one leader at a large company thrived off innovation and creativity, but his team wasn't delivering in that area. So Weiss helped him create an environment that encouraged risk-taking — even if it resulted in failure. "What he did was at the end of the year when they had their annual awards ceremony to reward those who had high sales or the best service, he started giving out an award for 'the best idea that didn't work'," says Weiss, who wrote the book "Million Dollar Consulting. This small change helped to not only to inspire his team to be more creative but helped the executive reignite his passion for the job. Weiss also oftendo things as well or as fast as I can," is the other big issue he sees in leaders. The key to effective delegating is to help people understand that "there's no such thing as perfection. It doesn't exist, and perfection always kills excellence," Weiss says. With the 80-hour executive, Weiss says he helped him understand that when an employee is performing tasks that are "good enough," leave it at that and move on. With that understanding, Weiss helped the executive identify the high-level tasks he absolutely had to do due to his level of expertise, but he also helped him figure out who on his team could best handle the rest of the work. After learning to delegate, his client eventually reduced his hours to around 60

Young penned "Sugar Mountain," the song that Joni Mitchell once described as "a lament for his lost youth." When he later spoke about his early band, the Squires, and its time in Fort William in Neil Young: Don't be Denied: the Canadian Years, Young said, "We did 'Farmer John' really good back then in Fort William. We used to break loose in it. That was one of the first times I ever started transcending on guitar. Things just got onto another plane, it was gone. … That's when I started to realize I had the capacity to lose my mind playing music."
Blind River
June 1965
Young was driving to Sudbury in the summer of 1965 when his beloved 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, "Mort" (a.k.a. "Mortimer Hearseburg"), broke down just outsideBlind River. The hearse was immortalised in the song "Long May You Run," which was also the title of the album he recorded with Stephen Stills, released in 1976. Ironically, they broke up only nine days into the Long May You Run tour, with Young informing Stills of his departure via telegram: "Dear Stephen, funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach. Neil."
David Rea's Apartment, Yorkville Avenue, Toronto
1960s
During his Yorkville coffeeshop days, Young got high for the first time, as he reveals in the recently uncovered song "Hitchhiker." "You didn't see me in Toronto, when I first tried out some hash/ smoked some then and I'll do it again/ if I only had some cash."

This song is nowhere to be found on Die Hungry. "Dim Sum Girl", a love ballad about the heartbreak of Hong Kong Fever from his former love, a dim sum girl (woman pushing around carts of dim sum in Chinese restaurants). It was featured in a Chinese reality television show.[2] "Kowloon Bay", a love ballad similar in flavor to Dim Sum Girl where Hong Kong Fever reminisces about his first love back in Kowloon Bay (a district in Hong Kong). "Chinatown Hustler", a song about the life of a Chinatown gangster. This is also the single in which The Hunan Bombis first heard. The music video officially aired on August 14, 2006. It is found on the video game original soundtrack of "Wet". "Traditional Roughnecks" "Old Shanghai" This song has been very hard to locate, since it was made very early on in the formation of Notorious MSG. Drinking a cup of Oolong Tea ("For days of Old Shanghai my dear, For days of Old Shanghai, We'll drink a cup of oolong tea, For the days of Old Shanghai") is the main action that is performed in the song's lyrics.

areas: project arrangements, collaboration relationship, curriculum development, administration of the bachelor programme, capacity building, academic community and infrastructure.
Project arrangements {#ss8}
--------------------
The aim of the project was to build a 5-year entry-level physiotherapy programme at AUW. The partner meetings decided what was needed from both institutions to reach the aim and the action plans. The administration of the education was AUW's responsibility and the education subject to their policies and procedures.
The regular partner meetings included people with leadership roles, acting on behalf of their own institution. The project was thus institutionally rooted, and both partners had defined roles and authority in the project. This is in line with Casey ([@CIT0012]), Stockley & de Wit ([@CIT0013]) and the success factors that the African Studies Center at the Michigan State University describes([@CIT0014]).
BUC was the executing partner in the planning process during the first and second phases.
In 2012, there was a change. AUW made a detailed plan with steps to reach the aims, including all work tasks for the education programme, and BUC defined what they could contribute. The change in who was in charge of the planning in phase 3 reveals a development in competence related to the administration of the education programme. By initiating the decision-making process, AUW took responsibility and was accountable for the consequences.
Apart from the planning process, the project structure and administration tasks did not change during the 5-year study period. This suggests either that this way of cooperating worked well and that the roles were clearly defined or that the partnership did not develop.

and developed it further afterwards AUW senior teacher made sure it was in accordance with AUW's requirements and conditions in Sudan; an NGO physiotherapist was involved Teachers from BUC developed the content of the physiotherapy courses and gave advice about the examination system AUW saw to that all courses were developed in line with new regulations
Run the bachelor programme • Two teachers and one senior teacher taught physiotherapy at a time at the bachelor programme at AUW means that the Department of Physiotherapy had to examine all the course outlines, specify the reading material and ensure that the students had access to it. This was challenging, since little physiotherapy literature was available. Several participants pointed out that implementing this new quality assurance system is important for the curriculum work in their reports. This change in 2010 created the opportunity for systematic revision and further development. The new quality assurance system and more involvement of the Dean of the faculty housing the physiotherapy education program at AUW, led to the curriculum becoming more at par with international requirements and UNESCO's guidelines ([@CIT0007]). As the teachers from Norway were involved in the education programme for one academic year on average, they had the opportunity to look after

Norwegian.
Teachers from AUW faced language barriers in Norway because teaching and information were mainly in Norwegian. The teachers and students at BUC spoke English, which reduced the language barriers, and the participants were able to be part of an academic community and had access to international literature. The optimal solution could have been for the AUW teachers to stay at another university in Africa with an internationally recognized entry-level (bachelor) physiotherapy education programme.
The WCPT ([@CIT0003]) states the following.
> An integral component of the curriculum for the first professional qualification is direct clinical experience under the supervision of appropriately qualified physical therapists or other relevant professionals. As skills and experience increase, clinical education involves access to increasing levels of responsibility.
At AUW, teachers from BUC also had courses for teachersand clinical educators in evidence-based practice, learning methods and students' evaluation criteria at the clinical placements and examinations. Training clinical educators was important because they were responsible for the students' learning situations in the clinical internship. Sudan had no physiotherapy education programme when this project started, there were few physiotherapists and evaluating the quality of their clinical work was difficult. Linking the clinical educators to the education programme was thus extremely important: for example, by giving them the opportunity for professional development. It also became important to connect physiotherapists working at various NGOs to the education programme, since they had qualifications from recognized higher education institutions.
This project did not solve the challenges of developing formal competence, but AUW was granted four BUC quota scholarships during the project period.

Ear-battering distortion? Check. Vocals that are a cross between a ranting professional wrestler and a deranged Ralph Kramden? Check! There's even the usual assortment of cover songs, all done up Mongrolls style. There's no denying Greg's considerable songwriting prowess ("Smash It" and "Drunk Again" are modern classics of garage punk in my book), but I always enjoy his interpretations of other bands' material. This time he has a go at Loli and the Chones, Unnatural Axe, Menace, and The Minds. Yeah, I know: that's some great taste in music. Plus they're cool versions. It seems like in the current age, people look down on cover songs like they're filler or something. Compare that to say, in the '60s, when the craft of interpreting someone else's song was rightfullyaway with everything. Two and a half thousand years ago, Plato told the story of Gyges, who finds a ring that makes him invisible. Within weeks, he has turned from innocent shepherd into corrupt monster.
Bankers have Gyges's ring of invisibility. Most of society can't see what they're doing. They enjoy virtual impunity for acts that harm other people and society as a whole.
But there's an added twist: not alone can they not be fully seen, but they themselves cannot see. The bonus culture and the grotesque inequality it sustains create a disconnection from everyday society. Nothing out there is real: clients are just more inputs for the profit machine; interest rates are just numbers to feed bonuses.
Decent people will always be eaten up by such an indecent system.

"It's you!" Sterling Hardaway, 43, exclaimed when he saw Newsom. "In the flesh!"
"Where are you staying?" Newsom asked.
"On the streets with my cardboard," Hardaway answered.
He said he has been homeless in San Francisco since 1997.
That was the same year Newsom joined the Board of Supervisors, where he developed a keen interest in homelessness. In 2002, he championed the Care Not Cash program to slash county welfare checks in exchange for housing and spearheaded the 2003 ban on aggressive panhandling, which banned begging near ATMs or on public transportation and prohibited repeated solicitations after a person declined to give money, following the person or blocking their passage.
In that November's election, he and then-Supervisor Matt Gonzalez emerged as the top two candidatesin the first round of the mayor's race. Alioto had also run, and Newsom visited her law firm armed with a dozen red roses to ask for her endorsement in the December runoff.
"I told him, 'When you put me in charge of homelessness, which I think you're doing a terrible job of, I'm going to support you,' " Alioto said. "And he did."
Newsom installed Alioto as the leader of a 33-member panel given four months to craft the city's Ten Year Plan to Abolish Chronic Homelessness. Perhaps surprisingly, the plan was encouraged by then-President George W. Bush's administration, which had focused on ending chronic homelessness and tied federal grants to the writing of 10-year plans.

That surprised the New Amurg, for in that moment something stirred inside him, of what it was he did not know, but there was a familiarity with that weapon, of what he was not certain, but it was a peaceful feeling.
"Why, this is the blade of the mighty one that faced a billion foes and fought a thousand battles and won all of them! Well one of his many weapons actually."
"That looks like a field plow and a cheap one made from different scraps cobbled together! Nobody would say that has any value!"
"Then why am I drawn to it? Did I say the words to correct Deux orother half conquered!"
"That, my friend is a jar filled with sand!" the Amurg paused to let that statement sink in.
"Are you actually trying to sell me sand, here in a desert!" the statement was so 'unique' that the one who said it had trouble believing that he actually said such words.
"Yes, he is and it's not a lie! These worthless grains somehow set whole stars ablaze and eclipsed entire worlds." The touch of........of something that could not be put into words caressed his person.
Or rather a teasing of it brushed his soul as something that was forgotten seemed to be just close enough to be felt, but not enough to be clearly discovered.

"Why, by all Saints and Sinners, are we here?" Bob, one of the pilots asked the others around him.
"Our regiment is here because the Volunians are allies of the United Federation of Planets (U.F.O.P), and we're here to protect them from the Empire." Hogan, his squadron mate replied.
"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about why are we going each night on an extended patrol here of all places? I mean we're dozens of miles away from our front lines, that and we're fliersnot ground pounders! Also, there's nothing here but the edge of that forest!" Bob said to him.

Will their monarch do a triple summer salt, land on our right, left, and rear and moon us to death?"

Individual technical specifications for the three varieties of Irish whiskey, "single pot still", "single malt", "single grain", and "blended" whiskey (a mix of these two or more of these varieties) are also outlined in the technical file. The use of the term "single" in the aforementioned varieties being permissible only if the whiskey is totally distilled on the site of a single distillery.
Maturation only takes place on the island of Ireland
Labelling
There are several regulations governing the labelling of Irish whiskeys. In particular:
Spirit drinks must not be labelled, packaged, sold, advertised or promoted in such a way to suggest they are Irish whiskey or any of the sub-varieties unless they meet the relevant requirements
Any ageDefamation case filed against Kejriwal over "Thulla" remark
Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:32:40 IST
New Delhi, Jul 23: Delhi Police yesterday filed a criminal defamation case in a court against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for referring to policemen as 'thulla', a slang, during his recent interview.
The complaint was filed by a constable, posted at Govind Puri police station here, in which he has claimed that he was insulted by Kejriwal's remark.
"Using a derogatory and demeaning term like 'thulla' to refer to police personnel is equivalent to referring to all Delhi Police officials as lethargic and unproductive. This word has, therefore, harmed the reputation of the complainant in the eyes of general public including his family, relative and friends," the plea filed by constable Harvinder said.
He further said that Kejriwal

A common finding from all of these studies was the high alcohol consumption in the described populations.
Alcohol was introduced in the indigenous populations during their colonial history. Natively, it has never been a part of their traditional cultures. For example, Russian merchants of 19th--20th centuries played an important role in the drinking habits of the Nenets. The Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) is located in the Russian North and is home to an indigenous people called the Nenets, who make up 17.8% of the population there. Previous papers have reported that the prevalence of suicides in the NAO is considerably higher than that found in

Study site and population {#S0002-S20002}
-------------------------
The territory of NAO is situated in Northwest Russia, close to the Arctic Ocean. According to National Census data, in 2010 the total population of the NAO was 42,090 ([@CIT0015]). The main ethnic group in the NAO is indigenous Nenets; non-indigenous groups include the Russians, Komi, and others. The Nenets are one of the largest indigenous population groups in Russia, and they have a large environmental, cultural, and social impact on the region. Many of them still follow the traditional lifestyle of nomadic or semi-nomadic reindeer herders and live in temporary (seasonal) settlements. The AO borders the NAO and covers a large part of Northwest Russia. The AO is one of the most ethnically Russian areas in theand the AO as indigenous and non-indigenous areas, respectively, as the NAO comprises one of the largest indigenous populations in Russia, and 99% of the population of the AO is ethnically Russian. It is well known that suicide rates in Russia are among the highest in the world ([@CIT0018]). In addition to South Siberia and the Far East, six Russian regions were mentioned as regions with the highest suicide rates in 2012: Altay, the NAO, Buryatia, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Chukotka, and Tyva ([@CIT0019]). All of these regions contain high proportions of indigenous people, although the NAO has the highest indigenous population.

In a statement lodged with her employer, Robertson denied the allegations.
"While conversing with Mr. Fiennes during my break, I expressed a need to go to the toilet,'' Ms Robertson said in her statement.
"I went to the nearby toilet and entered it, he followed me and entered the same toilet.
"I explained to him that this was inappropriate and asked him to leave. Mr. Fiennes became amorous towards me and, after a short period of time, I convinced him to leave the toilet, which he did," she said.
Robertson was reportedly in hiding this weekend after being grounded without pay.
Fiennes was flying from Australia to India as a Unicef ambassador to promote awareness of HIV and safe sex at the time.Gillette brings live sports news into the rail environment

A rep for the "Blue Lagoon" star confirmed to E! News today that Teri "passed away peacefully" in New York on Oct. 31.
Before Teri became her daughter's full-time manager when Brooke first entered showbiz as a child, the New Jersey native was herself a model for Lord &Taylor department store, as well as a makeup artist, hair stylist and a hostess at the famed Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village.
She married Brooke's father, Francis Alexander Shields, in 1964, but they divorced when their daughter was 5 months old. Francis died in 2003.Short news stories on pay strikes by Met office workers, campaigning against blacklisting on Crossrail, Freedom Riders protest, day school on workers' resistance in China and solidarity campaigns with Palestine.

The Council of Professors and Heads of Computing have constituted a sub-group, the Learning Development Working Group (LDG).
The aims of the LDG are:
To promote the development of learning within computing departments.
To provide a focus for addressing disciplinary-focussed teaching and learning issues for the CPHC community
To identify existing and/or potential actions inside and outside of the CPHC community relevant to these issues.
To facilitate sharing practice across the CPHC community
The Chair of the LDG is elected from the main CPHC Committee. There is no fixed membership for the LDG. Rather the group undertakes one or two activities a year (in line with the LDG aims) for which working groups are individually convened.

and objectives such as legal certainty and efficiency, have been proposed for legal rules. Efficiency, with its rational foundations and structure, along with justice, can play a substantial role in fulfilling the responsibilities of the legal system. Efficiency, through its rational perspective, and justice, by means of its largely spiritual and idealistic basis, can adjust the rules and the relationships among different individuals in a society. Efficiency, along with the traditional bases of legal rules, such as justice, can result in the fulfillment of the role of legal systems, while on the other hand, may lead to conflicts between them. Efficiency can be utilized in the phase of establishment of rights and commitments, optional or compulsory fulfillment of them, and in the settlement of disagreements as well.Law QuarterlyدانشگاهLoveSick

Through the lobby and into the theater, the small wooden stage was empty save a large mason jar. Audience members filed in, chatting and settling into their seats until a bell indicated the production's imminence, and in short order the audience had hushed and turned stage-ward. And then...black.

donated property and funds to help fellow Christians. However, one individual named Ananias, committed fraud. He claimed to have given all of the proceeds to the Church, but held back some of the funds. He lied to the Apostle Peter. We read: "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in yourpresence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived" (Revelation 13:1114).

Blexbolex's previous children's books, Seasons and People, toyed with subtle hints of narrative amid their portraits of flora, fauna, and humans; the French artist pushes further into narrative experimentation with this small-format adventure that grows in complexity and strangeness as it progresses. Once again, Blexbolex's angular, vintage-flavored silkscreen illustrations are paired with brief descriptions. Unfolding in just a few pages, the first story segment suggests a mundane school day: "The school, the road, home," reads a tidy cursive font below a sequence of three illustrations. In the second segment, the unseen narrator notices more of the landscape ("The school, the street, the forest, home"). Strange occurrences quickly mount—a pipe-smoking "stranger" arrives, foxlike "bandits" lurk, and a blue "witch" threatens. From there, the book becomes a wild journey involvingAnandpuri
Sri Swami Anandpuri ji Maharaj (1782–1872) is known as the founder of the Advait Mat tradition. He was initiated by Totapuri.
When he was 90 years of age, He reportedly wrote in Urdu on a piece of paper: "Accept Paramhansa Ram Yaad" referring to Dayal Ji, the one that went to become the "First Master" of Advait Mat.

rejected him solely because of their arrogance. The Qur'an illustrates this as follows:
" _We know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: It is not thee they reject; it is the signs of Allah which the wicked deny."_ (Qur'an, An'am, 6/33)
Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor of the time, who defeated the Persians in 628 AC, received a letter from the Prophet while he was in Syria. The letter invited him to Islam. Heraclius showed interest in the letter instead of anger. He wanted to inquire and to gather more information about this new religion. For this purpose, he ordered that some countrymen of the new Prophet (peace be upon him) be brought before him. At that time, Abu Sufyan, who was a merciless enemy of the Prophet,increase or decrease?" I replied:
"Their number increases."
He asked:
"Is there anyone among them who left the new religion because he disliked it?"
I said:
"No."
He asked:
"Did you ever accuse him of lying before this incident?"
I said:
"No."
He queried further:
"Did he ever break his promise?"
I said:
"No, he keeps his promises but we made a truce with him for a certain time and do not know yet what he is going to do."
(Abu Sufyan said, "This is the only thing I could include in my answers to potentially discredit him.")
Heraclius asked:
"Did you engage in wars with him?"
I said:
"Yes."
Heraclius asked:
"What were the results of these wars?"
I said:
"Sometimes we triumphed over him, sometimes he triumphed over us."
He asked:
"What are the things he commands you to do?"
I replied:

all the other Prophets because he was given wealth and kingship; as a consequence his questioning will be longer.
There were the rich among the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as well. They gained the praise of the Prophet by not sparing their wealth or lives in the path of Allah. Furthermore, Allah also gave them good tidings in the following verse: "Allah hath purchased of the Believers their person and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): They fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: A promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded;that is the achievement supreme." (Qur'an, Tawba, 9/111)
One of the wealthy was the closest friend of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, who, despite his wealth, led a most humble life. He was described by Allah in the Qur'an as the "second of the two." He occupied a respected place among the tradesmen of the Quraysh. According to Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), he also did not leave a dirham (silver money) nor a dinar (gold money) when he passed away. He bequeathed only a camel and a slave who knew how to make swords. In his will to his daughter, he stressed that this slave was to be given to Umar, the next Caliph after him. He used his wealth in the most beneficial way, by putting

of Allah (peace be upon him) felt extreme pity for people who did not know what was right from what was wrong, who were not familiar with the orders and prohibitions of Allah. As he went from door to door to teach the religion of Allah, at times, the doors were shut in his face. Yet he did not resent this misbehavior against him as much as he felt sorrow for people's ignorance.
To these people, he said, _"No reward do I ask of you for this (Qur'an); Nor am I a pretender!"_ (Qur'an, Sad, 38/86)
No one reached the level of honesty and integrity practiced by the Prophet (peace be upon him). He was an orphan. He was introduced to trade by his uncle Abu Talib. His honesty andthem said, "O Muhammad! Our tribe has your milk-mothers and milk-sisters!"
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) responded with great loyalty, "I free all the captives that belong to me and the sons of Abdulmuttalib."
The Immigrants and the Helpers who saw this refined behavior followed his action by saying, "We also free our captives for the sake of the Prophet!"
As a result, on that day, thousands of captives were freed without any ransom[187] . This was a gesture of gratitude and the loyalty to the milk he had been given as a child. It is an excellent lesson for an oppressive nation. Unfortunately, humans quickly forget the favors whose traces fade in the memory. Usually, "LOYALTY" exists only as a word in the dictionary.

Opioid and illicit substance abuse continues to have major public health implications in the state of West Virginia. By analyzing the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) utilization history of drug overdose decedents, opportunities to improve surveillance of fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses can be identified which can help lead prevention efforts of fatal drug overdoses in the state.
Introduction
============
West Virginia continues to lead the nation in drug overdose deaths per capita. In 2016, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths was 52 per 100,000 \[[@r1]\]. In the same year, there were roughly 64,000 overdose deaths in the United States, a 21.5% rate increase from 2015 \[[@r1]\]. The drug overdose epidemic in West Virginia has taken a significant toll on individuals, families, communities, and resources.

The photo at right shows him in his glory days before the Tulane game his sophomore year. (Tiger fans will be able to date the photo based on his jersey designation - Daddy wore "E7" that year, and no, that's not a typo.) After his playing days he and my mother resumed their courtship from high school in Marshall and they were living in Baton Rouge with my mother teaching at LSU after finishing graduate school when I showed up.

Henry Armstrong and Sugar Ray Robinson. He was always aware of a lineage with Jack Dempsey, arguably the most electrifying of all heavyweight champions, whose nonstop aggression revolutionized the sport and whose shaved haircut and malevolent scowl, and, indeed, penchant for dirty fighting, made a tremendous impression on the young Tyson.
In recent years, however, Tyson seems to have styled himself at least partly on the model of Charles (Sonny) Liston, the "baddest of the bad" black heavyweights. Liston had numerous arrests to his credit and served time in prison (for assaulting a policeman); he had the air, not entirely contrived, of a sociopath; he was always friendly with racketeers, and died of a drug overdose that may in fact have been murder. (It is not coincidental that DonKing, whom Tyson has much admired, and who Tyson has empowered to ruin his career, was convicted of manslaughter and served time in an Ohio prison.) Like Liston, Tyson has grown to take a cynical pleasure in publicly condoned sadism (his "revenge" bout with Tyrell Biggs, whom he carried for seven long rounds in order to inflict maximum damage) and in playing the outlaw; his contempt for women, escalating in recent years, is a part of that guise. The witty obscenity of a prefight taunt of Tyson's—"I'll make you into my girlfriend"—is the boast of the rapist.
Perhaps rape itself is a gesture, a violent repudiation of the female, in the assertion of maleness that would seem to require nothing beyond physical gratification of the crudest kind. The supreme

(formerly known as Dytek Laboratories, Inc.) ("Dytek"), and Charles Industries, Ltd,[2] alleging negligence, strict liability, and breaches of warranties. On or about February 24, 1993, Harley filed a third-party complaint seeking contribution and indemnity from AAI, who Harley claimed was the designer and manufacturer of the Dytek battery charger allegedly responsible for the accident. Plaintiffs subsequently amended their complaint to include AAI as a direct defendant. This Court possesses subject-matter jurisdiction by virtue of 28 U.S.C. § 1332 as a result of diversity of citizenship among the parties. AAI is a New York Corporation with its principal office and place of business in New York and seemingly is "owned" in some manner by British Tire and Rubber Co., a British corporation.[3]
AAI, at the time independently "owned," acquired Dyteksuch representatives, in and of themselves, do not sufficice for purposes of general jurisdiction.
The revenues obtained by Dytek and by AAI from their dealings in Maryland also appear insufficient themselves to confer jurisdiction upon AAI. While the figures provided by AAI for 1988-1991 at times constitute quite substantial actual amounts, they represent a rather small percentage of AAI's total revenue. With regard to Dytek's revenues during the period in which it was owned by AAI, this Court has only Rauft's testimony upon which to rely. Rauft's estimate of "less than ten percent" of Dytek's revenue as attributable to Maryland, a figure which he later characterized as "on the high side," falls short of itself establishing this Court's jurisdiction over AAI.

Equitable also repeatedly disclosed in its prospectuses and annual reports that the "mix" of securities in the Balanced Fund was determined by the portfolio manager and involved an actively managed and constantly changing blend of investments.2

In its 1985, 1986, and 1987 prospectuses, Equitable included a chart entitled "Investment Option Characteristics." In 1987, the chart disclosed that the "objective" for the Balanced Fund was a "[c]ompetitive return through a growth of capital and current income." The 1987 chart also listed the objectives of the other options and cautioned that "[t]here is no assurance that any of theinvestment objectives of the Funds will be achieved."

The 1985 and 1986 charts described the risk to principal of the Balanced Fund in the same manner as the risk to principal of the Growth Equity Fund. Those same charts described the volatility of the Balanced Fund as the "[l]owest of the three [equity] funds." In the 1987 prospectus, the risk to principal of the Balanced Fund was described as "[s]omewhat lower than [the] Growth Equity Fund" and Equitable described the Balanced Fund's volatility with the following phrase: "[g]enerally lower than pure equity funds, but degree may vary depending on market conditions." The 1987 disclosures about the other two equity funds generally spoke of higher risk and volatility.

(Summa, 1. qu. 1, art. 10), but could not free himself from
ecclesiastical authority. Thomas did not grant the ontological argument of Anselm for the existence of God. He gives several
forms of the cosmological and teleological arguments, but says, that, while
reason can prove that God exists, it cannot discover what his nature is. His
fundamental conception of God is that of spiritual and active being. God is
intelligence and will (intellectus et voluntas), the first cause.
Thinking and willing are inseparable from his being. He is consequently forever
returning to the idea of the absolute identity and simplicity of God. He

distinction of persons in the Godhead, and affirms

Sunday,Bill. The NYFC released The National Young Farmer Survey in November, which surveyed farmers under 40 to gauge how the agriculture industry will change over the next few years.
The survey found that the agriculture industry is growing to feature more females. 60 percent of the farmers who responded to the survey were women, and the majority of the farmers surveyed did not grow up on a farm. The proportion of people of color and indigenous farmers in survey was far larger than that of the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Almost 70% of young farmers who responded have degrees beyond high school. Also, the highest number of farm sales are coming from farmers markets and community supported agriculture.
The findings of the survey helped the NYFC make the Young Farmer

One year on from Socrates' passing, Corinthians pay tribute as they fight to become world champions
The brilliant midfielder passed away on the same day the Timao were crowned champions of Brazil, and now, one year on, the doctor is in the hearts and minds of everyone at the club
COMMENTBy Daniel Edwards
"I want to die on a Sunday, and have Corinthians lift a title on the very same day."
When the doctor, poet, political activist, symbol of revolution and, of course, supremely-gifted midfielder Socrates uttered these words to the Brazilian press during an interview back in 1983, he could not have known that 28 years later his somewhat morbid wish would become reality.
Hours after the idol's tragic passing on December 4, 2011, from an intestinal infection aggravated by the cirrhosisthat was his legacy from years of hard living and battling against alcoholism, emotions in the white and black half of Sao Paulo were heightened to unimagined levels when the team directed by Tite fulfilled his prophecy, securing a 0-0 draw away to bitter rivals Palmeiras which was sufficient to clinch a fifth national title for the Timao.
A rather uninspired match did not yield any goals, but Socrates' iconic raised right fist that marked all of his strikes was copied to a man in the terraces by the Corinthians faithful. Now, after what may go down as the most successful 12 months in the institution's history, the legion of supporters who have taken over Japan will be hoping for another divine intervention from their star as they prepare

Arabia from Yemeni territory. Jubeir rejected this and said his country would not back down in the conflict."The Houthis cannot be allowed to take over a country," he said.Jubeir said his country only had bad relations with two nations -- Iran and North Korea. He said Riyadh did not have relations with Israel , which shares Saudi worries over Iran, because it was waiting for a Palestinian peace deal.He said everyone knew what a solution would look like to the decades-old conflict. "It is not rocket science," he said, adding that he was waiting for the United States to put forward a new proposal.One of the most intractable problems facing negotiators is the spread of Jewish settlements across territory that the Palestinians want for a future state.Jubeir saidhe expected an eventual deal would set the borders of a Palestinian state on the lines prevailing before the 1967 war, when Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip.However, he said adjustments could be made for settlers: "Seventy percent of the settlers who are on the (1967) Green Line remain in Israel, and the other 30 percent - you offer them compensation and work out housing, and they can move to Israel."

great! There's nothing wrong with a happy ending. Please don't leave yet…" Yang almost whispered the last part. She didn't know why she was asking Blake to stay, she had only just met the girl two hours ago after all. Maybe it was because Yang had been enjoying Blake's company. Maybe it was because she knew that after this she would never see Blake again, and she didn't want that. Whatever it was, all Yang knew was that she didn't want Blake to leave yet.
Besides, it's still raining! Surely cats hate the…. wait, Blake's not a cat. Or at least, I'm pretty sure she's not… Yang couldn't help but think. Distracting herself was one of her special skills. She decided that she would later have to check Blake'sbackside for a tail. It'll be torture for her to do so, but she would make the sacrifice, for all the curious cat Blake fans out there. Then there was the bow….
In Blake's mind, Blake was beginning to understand a few things. Yang was a brutally honest person, but she obviously sucked on the delivery of her thoughts. That was just her 'Yangness', or so she was beginning to learn. Blake felt warm inside, realizing that this lilac-eyed blonde was apologizing for hurting her feelings.
Heh, she cares about my feelings Blake couldn't help but smile at that.
Yang noticed Blake's warm smile and let go of her arm. "What?" she questioned suspiciously.
"I was just getting a coffee refill." Blake answered, " I had not planned on leaving. In case

Apple's latest German complaint against Samsung is the first time the company has named the South Korean electronics manufacturer's flagship Android handset in a lawsuit, claiming the device infringes the iPhone maker's "slide-to-unlock" utility model.
Mere hours after serving up a ruling on Friday for a failed Samsung lawsuit against Apple, the Mannheim Regional Court held a hearing about a so-called Gebrauchsmuster ("utility model") complaint the Cupertino, Calif., company is leveling against the Galaxy Nexus, reports FOSS Patents.
In Apple's first suit that directly names Samsung's Android-based smartphone, the company claims the Galaxy Nexus infringes on the "slide-to-unlock" feature first introduced with the original iPhone in 2007 and subsequently patented with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in October 2011. In 2006 the company also obtained a "utility model" registrationchili and how the rising popularity has been justified over the last two decades. It provides an overview of the historical origins and spreading of chili, the chemical components and its measurements, its economical importance, religious and spiritual use, as well as the use of chili in medicine.
From a personal and human point of view, the viewer follows the protagonist meeting different people, each of whom shed light on the fascination of the chili myth. These include: a chili farmer in Mexico, the organisers of one of the biggest chili festivals in the world in the U.S., chili breeders from England, street food dealers from South East Asia and a chili researcher from Nagaland in India. Their stories and lives can’t be more different but they all have

Prior to the team's development camp, New Jersey Devils head coach Pete DeBoer is hoping to see shades of former captain Zach Parise from 20-year-old forward Reid Boucher.
"Whether he’s playing on a first line or fourth line, he has to bring that workmanlike mentality," DeBoer told The Star-Ledger. "I told [Boucher] that was the beauty of Zach Parise. He was a first line player with a fourth line work ethic. I think Reid could take some notes from that."
Boucher, drafted 99th overall in 2011, appeared in 23 games for the Devils in 2013-14, scoring two goals and adding seven assists; his production increased at the AHL level to the tune of 22 goals and 16 assists in 56 games. As somewhat of a "veteran" at rookie camp, DeBoerWednesday, April 15, 2015
April 15 was Opening Day in 1947, Jackie Robinson's first season in the Major Leagues. The festivity is a result of Robinson's memorable career, best known for becoming the first black major league baseball player of the modern era in 1947. His debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers ended approximately eighty years of baseball segregation, also known as the baseball color line, or color barrier. He also was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, remembered for his services with the number 42 jersey. (Link)

"They wanted to take the car out for a spin and Malibu was the perfect destination," the eyewitness told E! News. "[The friends] all came over and admired the car."
"As they were leaving, Travis shielded Kylie and asked her if she needed any help," the eyewitness said. "He led them back to the car and Kylie's security helped her get in. She seemed very excited about the car and loving the ride with Travis at the wheel. She was looking over at him as they drove off with a sweet smile on her face."
After months of pregnancy speculation, the 20-year-old youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling confirmed the birth news on social media that she'd welcomed a child a few days prior. During her pregnancy,Kylie had stayed away from social media almost completely in the months leading up to Stormi's birth.
But, since she let the world in on her baby news, the social media star has been posting up a storm (pun intended) of her life as a mom.
Similarly, the reality star had not been photographed out in public for months before giving birth, however, she's been spotted around Los Angeles on multiple occasions in recent weeks, as has Travis—just not together.
E! News previously reported that the rapper has completely fallen in love with being a dad.
"Travis is in love. He says his baby girl is a blessing and he is so grateful she is healthy," a source shared with E! News. "Travis is on baby duty and helping Kylie."

So you know Muttley was not a big dog. He might have weighed 12 pounds on the best day of his life. But when Libby joined our family, Muttley was the big dog. She was a puppy. And even when she weighed 80 pounds her view of him never changed. If he growled, she ran. When Muttley went somewhere Libby followed close behind. He always ate first. She stood back. He would eat a little bit. Then she would scarf up everything. The fact was, she could have scarfed him up.

Elsewhere, moviegoers have had a few weeks to dissect Nolan's grandiose space movie Interstellar, which has been a box-office success while proving critically divisive, not least because of the director's notoriously overwrought scripting.

CBS's Logan tells Leno, 'Things are going very very badly in Iraq'

CBS News foreign correspondent Lara Logan talked to Jay Leno on Monday about growing up in apartheid South Africa, how she became a reporter, and what it's been like reporting on so many wars over 17 years. "You see the absolute worst of humanity and then you see ... something that's so incredible," she told Leno.
"How are we doing [in Iraq] from your point of view?" Leno asked.
"We're doing extremely badly," Logan replied. She said that because of the suppression of pictures of American casualties, most people have no idea how bad things are.

In his 1912 book, Philip Dru, Administrator, Colonel Edward Mandell House has a character say of the US Civil War: "Cynical Europe said that the North would have it appear that a war had been fought for human freedom, whereas it was fought for money."
It was fought "for money" but not in the sense of accumulating it. Like the US Civil War, many wars are fought to force all nations to accept the Rothschild credit monopoly.
"Money" is virtual, a mental concept, an accounting system. Our currency is like a coupon. Money is a medium of exchange. The Central Banking Cartel creates it out of thin air, as a debt to itself, something our government could do interest and debt-free. But our government belongs

the Financial Rulers of Nations, a pivotal meeting took place in London, in 1857. It was at this meeting that the International Banking Syndicate decided that (in America) the North was to be pitted against the South under the old principle of 'divide and conquer.' This amazing agreement was corroborated by MacKenzie in his historical research entitled The Nineteenth Century."
(Masonic logo on US currency.)
The plotters realized that once again the American people would not accept a national bank without a reason for having one, and once again the plotters decided upon a war. Wars are costly, and they force governments into a position where they must borrow money to pay for them, and the decision was made once again to force the United States into a war sothat it would have to deal with the issue of how to pay for its costs. ...
The bankers first had to locate an issue to use in causing the southern states to secede from the United States. The issue of slavery was ideal. Next the bankers had to create an organization that could promote secession amongst the southern states so that they would divide themselves away from the federal government. The Knights of the Golden Circle [Freemasons] was created for that purpose.
Abraham Lincoln began to see the drama unfold as he was campaigning for the Presidency in 1860. He saw the war as an attempt to split the Union, not over the issue of slavery, but just for the pure sake of splitting the Union. He wrote: "I

So Abraham Lincoln decided not to borrow money from the bankers nor to create interest bearing money by creating a national bank that would loan the government the needed money by printing large quantities of paper money. Lincoln issued the "Greenback" in February, 1862.

The State
4th Death This Year in Kern River
A 35-year-old Panorama City man's disappearance Sunday afternoon in the Kern River, with his family watching helplessly, marked the fourth drowning there in the last 45 days, authorities said.
The deceptively beautiful stretch of river that runs from Lake Isabella to Bakersfield has claimed 214 lives since officials started counting in 1968. Authorities say visitors, mainly from the Los Angeles area, often ignore the signs warning of danger: swift undercurrents, deep pools and jagged rocks.
"You either stay out of the river, wear a [float], or go out in a body bag," said Kern County Sheriff's Deputy Don Rhoades.
Deputies said Jose Alberto Guillen was found face down 2 1/2 feet below the surface. His lower body was caught on a submerged rock, hisupper body trapped on rocks above the surface. He was caught by the white-water rapids, Rhoades said.
"There was a big egg on his head from hitting something," said Rhoades, who helps coordinate the mostly volunteer Kern County Search and Rescue team. "After he got sucked in, the chances were slim for him."
To deter swimming in the river, a sign displaying the death toll on the Kern greets visitors to the canyon at the edge of the Sequoia National Forest. A new tally was affixed Monday in the wake of Guillen's drowning.
Nevertheless, the hot summer weather and the river's natural beauty entice many of the nearly 500,000 visitors who flock there to camp, fish and experience water sports. Those who brave the rapids to go kayaking must wear specially

Fish and Hebrew Amulets
A while back I chanced upon this lovely Shadai amulet for sale on the internet. Its shape reminded me of the importance of fish in Hebrew amulets. As an aside, the Hebrew term (Argaman), spelled by the five platelets dangling below the fish ornament, is an acronym constructed from the initials of the names of the angels (Auriel [Ori’el]), (Rafa’el),

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned. For such a character, one book is not enough — readers must know what happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery — and altogether irresistibly odd.
We're all a little odd beneath the surface...
He's the most unlikely hero you'll ever meet — an ordinary guy withbest friend, Danny, who is afflicted with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bones. Odd finds Dr. Jessup's body, but Danny is missing. Since Odd has what he describes as 'psychic magnetism,' he can follow an invisible mental trail, which in this case leads him to his endangered friend. After he finds Danny in a spooky, burned-out Indian casino, it is Odd who becomes the quarry. The beautiful and stunningly evil Datura, aided by two frightening minions, wants to use Odd for his supernatural abilities — and then kill him. Odd's strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction."

Some 60 films from 20 countries were shown at this year's PIFF, with 12 features in the main competition, including entries from Britain, Poland, Russia and North Korea.
The total number was down from previous years -- a decline delegates attributed to the country's growing diplomatic isolation after international sanctions were tightened in the wake of nuclear tests on January 6 and September 9.
The top prize, the "Torch Award" went to the North Korean feature "The Story of our Home" about a young woman who devotes herself to caring for orphans.

Ruth married Lawrence W. Lauffer on May 12, 1951 in Geneva (divorced in 1964). On June 12, 1978, she also married in Geneva, Richard (Dick) Arden Bowes of Chicago, IL (formerly of Saegertown).
She was employed as a waitress in many local restaurants (Silver Shores, Iroquois Club, Hour Glass, and the Mark) and then with Molded Fiber Glass, Inc., Linesville until 1978. Originally, Ruth and Dick retired in Punta Gorda, Florida but

home city. Mr Rudd received a standing ovation when he took his seat in the audience. There were none of the earlier signs of public friction between the two: Ms Gillard is rumoured to have offered Mr Rudd a senior job, perhaps foreign minister, if she wins.
By the time she returned to Brisbane two days later, to meet her opponent at the people's forum held at the Broncos Leagues Club (an entertainment complex and “Home of the Brisbane Broncos”), Ms Gillard appeared the more sure-footed. Mr Abbott took questions from the audience first. His answer as to why he had refused her calls to debate her on the economy—“I debate the economy every day”—sounded flimsy. Ms Gillard fielded four questions about Mr Rudd's overthrow. Both leaders were askedwhy they opposed gay marriage. An audience poll judged Ms Gillard the winner by 83 votes to 75.
Mr Abbott has sharpened the opposition's attack against the government since he took over as Liberal leader. But his campaign has been mainly just that: accusing Labor of over-spending and raising voters' anxieties about asylum-seekers arriving in boats off northern Australia. He has also promised to abolish what seems to be one of the government's more popular projects, a A$43 billion ($38 billion) fibre-optic broadband scheme, which it has just started rolling out.
Whoever wins the election will have to deal with a resurgent Greens Party, which has changed the political landscape. The Greens' first vote, or “primary”, has climbed to 14% in one poll, almost double its primary in the most

Spatial distribution of heavy metals in urban soils of Naples city (Italy).
Concentrations of surface and sub-surface soil Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn in the Naples city urban area were measured in 1999. Contourmaps were constructed to describe the metals spatial distribution. In the most contaminated soil samples, metals were speciated by means of the European Commission sequential extraction procedure. At twelve sites, Cu, Pb and Zn levels in soil were compared with those from a 1974 sampling. Many surface soils from the urban area as well as from the eastern industrial district contained levels of Cu, Pb and Zn that largely exceeded the limits (120, 100 and 150 mg kg(-l) for Cu, Pb and Zn, respectively) set for soils of public, residential and private areas by the ItalianElectrophysiological evaluation in myotonic dystrophy: correlation with CTG length expansion.
In myotonic dystrophy (MD), disease severity has been correlated with expansion of CTG repeats in chromosome 19. The aims of this study were to evaluate efficacy of electromyography in the diagnosis of MD, access the frequency and the characteristics of peripheral involvement in the disease and to verify whether the CTG repeats correlated with the electrophysiological abnormalities. Twenty-five patients and six relatives at risk of carrying the MD gene were examined. Electrical myotonia (EM) was scored. Sensory and motor conduction velocity (CV) were studied in five nerves. Leukocyte DNA analysis was done in 26 subjects. Myopathy and myotonia were found in 27 cases. EM was most frequent in muscles of hand and in tibialis anterior. No significant correlation was

The present invention relates generally to video games, and more particularly to a system and method for playing a music video game with a drum system video game controller.
Video games provide a source of entertainment for many people. More specifically, video games provide an interactive experience for a player, an experience that can be both interesting and challenging. Video games may provide players the opportunity to engage in activities otherwise unavailable to them, or activities which may, except through the simplification provided by video games, otherwise require extensive training or practice. Video games may also provide for increasing levels of difficulty, allowing for growth of player capabilities.
Music based multi-player video games utilizing simulated musical instruments are popular video games. Video game controllers used in such games may generallyto Fed.R.Civ.P. 52, as made applicable to these proceedings by Fed. R. Bankr.P. 7052.
FACTS
On or around March 15, 2007, Marcos Santiago ("Santiago" or the "Debtor") executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $194,751 (the "Note") in favor of SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. Simultaneously, as security for the Note, Santiago executed a mortgage (the "Mortgage") encumbering real property located in Lehigh Acres, Florida (the "Lehigh Acres Property"). Attached to the Mortgage was a Second Home Rider that provides as a covenant by Santiago to SunTrust that "Borrower shall occupy, and shall only use, the Property as Borrower's second home."
On October 10, 2007, apparently when construction was completed of the home located on the Lehigh Acres Property, SunTrust and Santiago entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the "Modification Agreement").

territory in its search for
not just space, but sustenance. This impulse to expansion would naturally
be at the cost of a less dominant species, a weaker species that Nazi
ideologues believed should give way, or be made to give way, to the
stronger one.
The idea
of lebensraum was set out in precise terms in 1901, but Europe had
already begun her quest for lebensraum 400 years earlier, when Columbus
landed in America. The search for lebensraum also took Europeans to
Africa: unleashing holocaust after holocaust. The Germans exterminated
almost the entire population of the Hereros in Southwest Africa; while
in the Congo, the Belgians' "experiment in commercial expansion"
cost
10 million
lives. By the last quarter of the 19th century, the British had exterminated
the aboriginal people of Tasmania, and of most of Australia.
Sven Lindqvist,
author of Exterminate the Brutes, argues thatit was Hitler's quest
for lebensraum-in a world that had already been carved up by other
European countries-that led the Nazis to push through Eastern Europe
and on toward Russia. The Jews of Eastern Europe and western Russia
stood in the way of Hitler's colonial ambitions. Therefore, like the
native
people of Africa and America and Asia, they had to be enslaved or
liquidated. So, Lindqvist says, the Nazis' racist dehumanisation of
Jews cannot be dismissed as a paroxysm of insane evil. Once again,
it is a product of the familiar mix: economic determinism well marinated
in age-old racism, very much in keeping with European tradition of
the time.
It's not
a coincidence that the political party that carried out the Armenian
genocide in the Ottoman Empire, was called the Committee for Union
& Progress.
'Union'
(racial/ethnic/religious/national) and 'Progress' (economic determinism)
have long been the twin

1876 and 1892, while
Britain continued to export food and raw material from India. In a
democracy, Amartya Sen says, we are unlikely to have Famine. So in
place of China's Great Famine, we have India's Great Malnutrition.
(India hosts 57 million-more than a third-of the world's undernourished
children.)
With the
possible exception of China, India today has the largest population
of internally displaced people in the world. Dams alone have displaced
more than 30 million people. The displacement is being enforced with
court decrees or at gunpoint by policemen, by government-controlled
militias or corporate thugs. (In Nandigram, even the CPI(M) had its
own
armed militia.) The displaced are being herded into tenements, camps
and resettlement colonies where, cut off from a means of earning a
living, they spiral into poverty.
In the
state of Chhattisgarh, being targeted by corporates for its wealth
of iron ore,there's a different technique. In the name of fighting
Maoist rebels, hundreds of villages have been forcibly evacuated and
almost 40,000 people moved into police camps. The government is arming
some of them, and has created Salwa Judum, a 'people's militia'. While
the poorest fight the poorest, in conditions that approach civil war,
the Tata and Essar groups have been quietly negotiating for the rights
to mine iron ore in Chhattisgarh. Can we establish a connection? We
wouldn't dream of it. Even though the Salwa Judum was announced a
day after the Memorandum of Understanding between the Tata Group and
the government was signed.
It's not
surprising that very little of this account of events makes it into
the version of the New India currently on the market. That's because
what is on sale is another form of denial-the creation of

Wings' forwards were very good at initiating contact, instead of allowing the Flames' big defensemen push them around.
Consider the playoff monkey firmly off Pavel Datsyuk's back. Coming into this year's playoffs, Datsyuk had not scored a goal since Game 7 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals. Tonight he played like a man possessed, coming out strong from the beginning and nearly scoring a couple times before he took a Tomas Holmstrom pass on a 2-on-1 break and slipped the puck between Mikka Kiprusoff's legs 6:56 into the second period. Datsyuk added an assist on Mathieu Schneider's goal 3 minutes later.

Fears of economic downturn top worries about overregulation
CEOs cited a potential economic downturn as the major threat to business growth prospects in the next year, the first time such a concern has topped the survey's findings in its 11-year history, PricewaterhouseCoopers said.
Overregulation - a perennial top worry for elite executives - was mentioned as a top concern by 59% of CEOs, the survey found, down from 73% in the 2007 survey.
The survey also pointed to a boost in international deal-making. Twenty-four percent of top executives said their firm had completed at least one cross-border merger or acquisition in the past 12 months, while 31% said they planned to do a transaction in the coming year.

Pope Francis challenged business leaders assembled in Davos on Tuesday to put their wealth at the service of humanity instead of leaving most of the world’s population in poverty and insecurity.
In a message to more than 2,500 participants at the annual World Economic Forum, the pontiff urged industrialists and bankers to promote inclusive prosperity, but stopped short of chiding them for excesses laid bare by the global financial crisis.

to teach the martial arts to Westerners after he moved to America when he turned 18, some say. Teaching the martial arts to Westerners was taboo at the time, but Lee didn't care, says Doug Palmer, who was one of Lee's first students in America.
"I think the fact that he [Lee] was part white had something to do with it," Palmer says about Lee's decision to teach Westerners. "He himself had to overcome obstacles in Hong Kong because he was part white."
Lee then encountered racism from Hollywood.
He had gone to Hollywood with an idea for a television drama about the martial arts. They took his idea but rejected him for a role in the series because they thought he looked too Chinese for an America audience. They gavehis role to an American actor and dancer. The drama would eventually become a hit television show called "Kung Fu."
Lee also suffered a crippling back injury during training. Doctors told him he would never walk properly again and could never practice the martial arts. It was a low moment in his life. He was bedridden with a wife and two young children to support. At one point he only had $50 in the bank. He could have fallen into a debilitating depression but he overcame his injury through positive visualization, and he used that time to write his groundbreaking book, "Jeet Kune Do," says Thomas, one of his biographers.
"He healed himself," Thomas says.

The counterpart to last month's "Defender of the Fatherland" Day, today in Russia women are recognized for the things that make them special
Russian President Vladimir Putin wished the country's mothers, daughters, wives and female colleagues a happy International Women's Day, noting that the fairer sex brings beauty, brightness and hope into the world.
In a special address dedicated to International Women's Day, President Vladimir Putin warmly commended Russian women for the beauty, brightness and hope they bring into the world.
According to Putin, in Russia this holiday is celebrated with special warmth.
"Dear women, I sincerely commend you on this International Women's Day, which is marked with special warmth in Russia, perhaps more than anywhere else in the world. It is filled with gifts and flowers, as well as the kindestfeelings towards our mothers, wives, daughters and colleagues – women who all are close to our hearts," he said.
Putin heaped praise on the character traits of Russian women, which he said reflect Russia's soul.
"Women give us life; they warm us with their love, support and care. It is a woman's dignity and mercy which reveal the true [nature of the] Russian soul," he pointed out.
He expressed special gratitude to Russia's surviving female World War II veterans who helped men prevail over the enemy.
"I would like to specifically extend gratitude to the women of the war generation. Your fortitude, your feat taught us to become real men and win against all odds," Putin said.

Lucano, who set up a scheme, funded by the Italian government, to offer refugees the abandoned apartments and training. It has helped to rebuild both the town's population and economy.
"I do nothing more than what I think is right for our little community," says Lucano, who started the pioneering programme in 1998.
"The multiculturalism, the variety of skills and personal stories which people have brought to Riace have revolutionised what was becoming a ghost town.
"There were people without a house here, and there were houses without people here. It's simple."
This year, Lucano was named by Fortune magazine as one of the world's 50 greatest leaders . The honour puts him in the company of names such as Pope Francis, Apple chief Tim Cook and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
About450 migrants, drawn from more than 20 countries beyond Europe, are living in Riace - about a quarter of the village's total population. Inevitably, there are some tensions with locals - yet Lucano has earned enough respect to be serving his third term as mayor.
Some of the children are originally from Ethiopia but have grown up in Riace and speak fluent Italian, in addition to English and their native tongue.

of the distribution and location of the fallen main steel and the detachment and distribution of the pcc deck structure my "wild guess" is that the main cantilever truss superstructure had developed a small discontinuity at or near the top of the eastern column of the main span southern pier. This gap "worked" (opened and closed for a while). Finally the east side of the main truss superstructure broke at or south of the southern pier's east column. Then the truss superstructure sagged to the east and twisted clockwise over the 2 columm southern pier. I believe this collapse path is what caused the nothern pier to be visibly displaced southward by the falling main span.
"The response to this state of affairs is to adjust the input toroll, so the tension has to build higher to move them. The dead load (the weight of the empty bridge) had already been increased by about 25% over the years by adding the extra 2" layer of concrete, the new railings (while keeping the old ones), and the concrete median. On top of this, on the day of the crash the bridge was bearing a concentrated load on the center span due to construction materials piled there that were intended to be spread out over the entire span eventually. This construction material was not a risk in terms of its weight on the structure, but in terms of its weight on the rollers. The harder it was for them to adjust, the more potential energy the span had

"No, no, I mean some of the soldiers were Aussies."

'One'? There was actually someone that Jean 'knew' who was with
'them', our enemy? And he was an Aussie? My head spun with the

'that's it!'. I never heard Feristel mention 'ghosts' after that though.
Jean grinned. "Yep. That's what they called us. The invisible
rebels. The uncatchable. The 'Ghosts'."
"Shit that's cool," Jay said, as if awed. We laughed at that. I
think it was because he was right.

sum that a sepoy in HEIC's army received every month. The soldiers also resorted to loot and plunder whenever they wanted.Amarpal Singh argues that the Lahore state engineered a situation whereby the growing influence of this republican Sikh army could be curbed-by crossing the Sutlej and inviting an English attack in 1845.All through the war, the Sikh commanders abandoned the field, leaving their men to fend for themselves, at early stages of battles. At Ferozeshah, for instance, the Sikhs had clearly dominated the battlefield with their artillery completely destroying the British artillery, and infantry returning fire with amazing rapidity. Sitaram, a sepoy in the British army, as quoted by Singh in his book, pretty much summed up the ground reality when he wrote: "Volleys of musketry were deliveredby us at close quarters, and were returned just as steadily by the enemy. In all the previous actions in which I had taken part one or two volleys at short range were as much as the Sirkar's (the British state's) enemies could stand; but these Sikhs gave volley for volley, and never gave way until nearly decimated..."Yet, instead of moving forward and decimating the enemy, the commander, Lal Singh, ordered a general retreat, much to the chagrin of his own troops. The Sikhs abandoned all their guns and equipment and left.

Appellant, The George Washington University ("GWU" or "the university"), appeals from the trial court's denial of its post-trial motions challenging a jury verdict in favor of appellee, Laura Violand, on her complaint alleging unequal pay because of her sex (female) (Appeal No. 04-CV-1237)[2] We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
FACTUAL SUMMARY
The record shows that Dr. Violand graduated from the University of Maryland in 1977, and began her employment with GWU in 1978 as a front desk clerk at the Registrar's Office. In the same year, she enrolled in graduate school at GWU while continuing to work there, received a Masters of Education degree in 1982,and in that same year enrolled in a doctoral program at GWU. GWU awarded her a Doctorate of Education degree in 1998; her dissertation focused on a case study of major alumni and non-alumni donors during one of GWU's capital campaigns.
Dr. Violand's work with GWU's Division of Alumni & Development commenced in 1982. She first worked on the alumni side *971 of the Division and then became Donor Relations Manager on the development side in 1987. She moved to the position of Assistant to the Executive Director in the development office of the GWU Medical Center in 1988. She was promoted, to Manager, Medical Center Donor Relations and Communications in 1994. After Jack Feldman was hired in late 1995 as Director of Development at a salary of $75,000.00,

Dr. Violand reported to him for about three months. Some time around Summer 1996, the Associate Vice President of GWU (for Medical Center and Alumni Relations), Mary Campion, asked Dr. Violand "to help with going out to meet alumni and solicit gifts" for the Medical Center. Dr. Violand, whose salary was $38,000.00 at that time and later increased to $40,000.00 due to increments, reported to Ms. Campion, as did Mr. Feldman.
Dr. Violand traveled in the Metropolitan Washington area to solicit gifts and after approximately one year expanded her base to points "[a]cross the country." She not only made contacts in various phases (including initial contacts or "introductory moves" and "cultivation"), but also solicited donors, including major donors, that is those who "contributed $50,000 or more" to the university.She filed "contact reports" reflecting the different phases of her work with potential donors. Dr. Violand became Assistant Director of Medical Center Development in December 1997, but did not receive a salary increase.
In early 1998, Ms. Campion left and ultimately was replaced by Sol Margulies. Although Dr. Violand asked him for a salary increase, none was forthcoming, only cost of living increases. When Dr. John Grossman replaced Mr. Margulies in 2000, Dr. Violand also requested a salary increase from him, without success. And, she discovered in 2000, that personnel papers reflecting her position as Assistant Director of Medical Center Development had never been "officially routed through the personnel system," and she "was formally still manager, donor relations and communications." In 2001, Dr. Violand again did not receive a

friendships from," he said.
Are we getting too close?
But author, China researcher and Charles Sturt University public ethics professor Clive Hamilton warned some Australian businesses and state and territory governments had succumbed to intense lobbying by China and become too close.
"The best way to understand this is through the lens of [former Chinese leader] Mao Zedong's tactic of 'use the countryside to surround the city'," he said.
China expert Clive Hamilton says WA is the state most economically dependent on Beijing. ( ABC News/Google Earth )
"This was a tactic developed during the civil war against the nationalists in the 1920s and 30s — when the Communist Party could not defeat the nationalists in the city, they had to retreat to the countryside.
"They're using the same principle all around the world,including in Australia.
"When the environment in Canberra became more hostile or suspicious or vigilant, let's say starting about three years ago, Beijing decided that they would focus a lot more effort on the countryside — that is on the outlying states Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, but also they've had these huge victories in Victoria.
"So they've been cultivating and building their political influence in Western Australia and other parts of the 'countryside' as a way of surrounding Canberra, as it were."
The huge victory Professor Hamilton cited was Victoria's decision to sign up to China's controversial Belt and Road initiative.

general partnerships and members in two real estate investment LLCs (collectively, the "investment vehicles"). Appellees are Jack Kay ("Mr. Kay"), the managing member of one of the LLCs, and the de facto managing member or partner of the other investment vehicles; Kay Management Company, Inc. ("Kay Management"), an entity, owned and controlled entirely by Mr. Kay and of which Mr. Kay is president; and Kay Investment Group, LLC ("Kay Investment"), a separate investment entity managed and controlled solely by Mr. Kay.
On July 16, 2009, appellants filed a complaint (individually and on behalf of the investment vehicles) against appellees in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. The complaint alleged principally that, beginning in 2003, Mr. Kay unilaterally and unlawfully took money from the investment vehicles and, mostly through Kaytheir brief. On October 12, 2010, appellants filed a reply brief, which contained a provision from one of the investment vehicles' operating agreements. On November 12, 2010, appellees moved to strike that provision from appellants' reply brief, arguing that the provision appears nowhere in the record, and was, in any case, mischaracterized by appellants. Alternatively, appellees requested this Court to take judicial notice of two of the investment vehicles' operating agreements, which were attached to the motion as exhibits. On November 23, 2010, appellants responded to appellees' motion to strike, conceding that they "do not object to either remedy," but arguing that appellees, rather than appellants, misconstrued the provision. Appellees filed a reply to appellants' response on December 3, 2010, arguing, among other things, that appellants' interpretation of

those entities by causing their funds to be placed in Kay Investment.
In Count V, appellants claimed that Mr. Kay alone engaged in tortious interference with the contractual relationship between Kay Management and the investment vehicles whose funds it managed by inducing Kay Management to breach its contracts with each investment vehicle.
Count VI was against Mr. Kay alone for breach of the investment vehicles' partnership agreements and operating agreements. Essentially, appellants alleged that investment of the reserve funds with Madoff was contrary to the agreements governing the investment vehicles, the alleged provisions of which are detailed above.
Count VII, also against Mr. Kay alone, was for breach of the Kay Investment operating agreement. Among other things, appellants alleged that (1) Mr. Kay, as sole managing member of Kay Investment, washave been successful because the operating agreement of Kaywood requires at least 70% of the interests in Kaywood in order to override Mr. Kay's decisions, and because Mr. Kay, his family and affiliates own more than 30% of the interests in Kaywood. Next, appellants pointed to a new exhibit A, a chart of the investors' relations to Mr. Kay. Appellants described the chart as follows:
a. The first five partners and members on Exhibit A are defendant Kay (individually or as trustee) and his daughter (individually or as trustee or representative). There is no division between defendant Kay and his daughter.
b. The next seven partners and members on Exhibit A are defendant Kay's sister (Silvia K. Greenberg) and her immediate family, known herein as the Greenberg Family Members. The

The record shows that Nara's mental condition
deteriorated while he was in prison. Shortly after he arrived
at the State Correctional Institution at Pittsburgh, he was
placed in the institution's hospital for "psychiatric reasons."
App. at 316. Nara was transferred to Farview State Hospital
after being diagnosed as having "suicidal ideation of severe
proportions." App. at 319. Although he was returned to
prison, he was hospitalized again after attempting to
commit suicide in February 1985 by overdosing on drugs.
A psychiatrist diagnosed Nara as "severely mentally
2
disabled" and "a clear and present danger to himself."
Supp. App. at 67. After another lengthy hospital stay for
approximately16 months, he was transferred to the State
Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania in
1986, where he is incarcerated to this day. There is nothing
in the record of Nara's mental condition after 1986.
On April 21, 1988, Nara filed his first petition for relief
under the Pennsylvania Post Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA"),
42 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. SS 9541 et seq . In the
accompanying pro se brief, Nara stated, inter alia, that he
was not mentally competent when he pled guilty and that
his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to assess his
mental competence at the time of the crimes and when he
pled guilty. After a hearing at which Nara was represented
by court-appointed counsel, the trial court denied the
petition. The trial court's opinion and order, however,
addressed only the ineffective assistance of counsel claim.

of Pennsylvania affirmed, and the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied review in 1989.
On May 15, 1990, Nara filed a second PCRA petition. He
argued that his plea should be withdrawn because he was
mentally incompetent when he entered it. The trial court
appointed new counsel and held a hearing on November 19,
1990 at which a forensic psychiatrist testified that Nara
was psychotic and depressed at the time of his guilty plea
and therefore was "not mentally capable" of entering a plea.
App. at 474. Based on this testimony, the trial court found
that Nara's guilty plea was not valid and granted Nara's
petition. The Commonwealth appealed. The Superior Court
reversed and reinstated the plea, ruling that the issue of
Nara's competence had been waived because Nara had
failed to raise it in his first post-conviction hearing.1 The
Superior Court stated in ahis guilty plea by failing to
file a post-sentence motion to withdraw the plea pursuant
to Pa. R. Crim. P. 321. That rule provided, in part:"(a) A
motion challenging the validity of a guilty plea, or the denial
of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea shall be in writing and
shall be filed with the trial court within ten (10) days after
imposition of sentence."2 In 1992, the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court denied Nara's petition for allowance to
appeal. The United States Supreme Court denied Nara's
petition for certiorari.
On December 19, 1995, Nara filed a third PCRA petition,
alleging, inter alia, that he was incompetent to enter the
guilty plea. The trial court appointed attorney Phyllis Jin to
represent Nara, and held a hearing on April 30, 1996. At
this hearing, Nara agreed that he had previously litigated
the issues in his

city’s school system could be divided largely along racial and ethnic lines. ("Nebraska to Break Up Omaha District," April 19, 2006)
A few said they back the plan, proposed in the Nebraska legislature by a black lawmaker from Omaha as a way to empower parents. But the loudest cries from within the city were from those who called it state-sponsored segregation. Many said they felt blindsided by the proposal’s quick passage. Some doubt it will be carried out.
Omaha Superintendent John J. Mackiel has called on leaders from nearby districts to meet with him in the coming weeks to come up with an alternative to the plan, which was part of a larger measure to address an ongoing boundary dispute between the Omaha district and other school systems. Under theclass of district—Omaha is the only one—into new districts with two or three high schools each. It also says those districts must use current attendance areas as boundaries.
In a city where most blacks live in the north end, Latinos are concentrated in the south, and most whites are in the west, the result would be three districts, with student populations reflecting their respective geographic areas.
The 46,000-student Omaha district is 44 percent white, 31.5 percent black, and 21 percent Latino. Figures from the district indicate that a breakup could produce one district with about two-thirds white students, another with about half the students African-American, and a third with about half Latino students.

Less than a week after the Williams purchased the distributorship, Dresser announced its intent to enter into a joint venture with another heavy construction equipment manufacturer, Komatsu, Ltd.

The appellees alleged that the joint venture was harmful to their business because customers feared that the Dresser product would become obsolete, that Dresser fraudulently concealed information about the pending joint venture in order to induce their purchase of the distributorship, and that they would not have bought the distributorship had they known about the pending joint venture. The appellees claimed that the joint venture led to a significant loss of business that ultimately forced them to sell their business at a loss. The jury returned a verdict for the appellees

eight trucks to 31 plants and 600 trucks. John Williams asked his son, Jay Williams, to run a block plant, and when the Williams sold their business they owned six block plants. The Williams sold their building materials company in 1986 for $90,000,000, and sought a new business.

They learned that a heavy equipment distributorship, the Tri-State Tractor Company ("Tri-State") was for sale, and on January 5, 1988, the Williams signed a letter of intent to purchase Tri-State. Because Dresser's permission was necessary for the sale of the distributorship, the Williams contacted Dresser to obtain its consent, and to place an initial order of inventory. Dresser denied the inventory order, and the Williams traveled to Chicago to meet with Dresser representatives.

In Chicago, the Williams metwith the marketing and sales vice president of the construction equipment division, Wesley Lee, and with other Dresser employees; none of the Dresser employees with whom they met knew about the possible joint venture. The negotiations lasted approximately four hours, and Lee repeatedly left the room apparently in order to consult with someone with higher authority. During the meeting, the Williams asked Lee about Dresser's future, and Lee responded that Dresser would be "second to none," that they were planning to hire additional engineers and would make Dresser "one of the leading machinery people in the business."1 The Williams assumed that they would meet with Gary Eggerichs, the head of Dresser's construction equipment division, although they had not asked for a meeting with him,

The 2012 survey found that 32 percent of the respondents lived and worked in Longmont, compared with nearly 39 percent in 2010.
"For the first time, we have most of the employees coming from somewhere else," Cody said, adding that he thinks most of them are coming primarily from Weld and Larimer counties. "What it means to me is that more people are commuting to Longmont to get to work from somewhere else, and it's significant. In the early part of the (2000s), more than half the people were both living and working here."
MacIntyre feels Colorado is capable of making run at bowlLouisiana State Penitentiary at Angola on October 7, 1971. Mr. Brown had previously been incarcerated in Illinois where a serious acidic stomach condition was diagnosed, and he was placed on a bland diet. During his stay at Angola, Mr. Brown was repeatedly examined by numerous physicians who also prescribed a bland diet as part of his medical treatment. The Department failed to provide the plaintiff with a bland diet. Plaintiff's condition deteriorated to such an extent that on August 21, 1973, 70% of his stomach was surgically removed. Plaintiff filed suit on August 21, 1974.

said to be roughly 150 metres wide. The size is inferred from the separation of the propeller wings.
The first such features were seen in 2004, but the latest pictures have revealed that the moonlets are grouped together in a 3,000km wide belt of material.
"This is the first evidence of a moonlet belt in any of Saturn's rings," said Miodrag Sremcevic of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for atmospheric and space physics. "We have firmly established these moonlets exist in a relatively narrow region of the 'A' ring, and the evidence indicates they are remnants of a larger moon that was shattered by a meteoroid or comet."
The team calculates that the region may hold many thousands of these moonlets, ranging in size from a small truck to that of a sports stadium.Each propeller feature is about 16km long, the result of gravitational disturbances of the dusty ring.
The researchers say the findings support the idea that Saturn's rings were all created during a "collisional cascade" of ring debris, prompted by the breakup of a much larger moon. But the moonlets belt probably came later, after the ring system was well established (scientists think Saturn's rings have been there for hundreds of millions, possibly even billions of years).
In the paper, published in Nature, the team writes: "It seems unlikely that moonlets are remainders of a single catastrophic event that created the whole ring system, because in this case a uniform distribution would emerge. Instead, the moonlet belt is compatible with a more recent body orbiting in the A ring."

The rapidly expanding volume of medical knowledge on early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has led to a significant evolution in the understanding and management of EOS. EOS refers to a spinal deformity that is present before the age of 10 years, and it is categorized into five types according to the etiology: idiopathic, congenital, thoracogenic, neuromuscular, and syndromic.^\[[@R1]\]^
Because of the various etiologies of EOS, there is no standardized or widely accepted classification system. Based on the etiology, magnitude of the major curve, kyphosis and the annual rate of progression, a new classification of EOS was recently designed by 15 experienced pediatric spine surgeons.^\[[@R2]\]^ High levels of agreement and consistency of this classification have been reported.^\[[@R2],[@R3]\]^
The treatment goals for EOS include minimizing the spinal deformity while maximizing the thoracic volume and

are confined to mild to moderate deformity. Despite the strict indications and limited applications, the greatest advantage of VBT and VBS is that they can preserve the growth potential and mobility in the spinal segments. The major disadvantages of these two techniques include the pulmonary and bowel complications caused by anterior surgeries.
### Shilla growth guidance system (SGGS)
The SGGS was first reported in 2014.^\[[@R53]\]^ SGGS guides spinal growth toward a normal alignment. The Shilla technique first corrects the apical deformity toward a neutral alignment. Then, the upper and lower growth guidance portions extend into the distal and proximal areas of the curve using polyaxial screws. These special screws have locking caps that fix to the top of the screws (not the rod) and capture the rod, allowing it toChopper scam case: Christian Michel's CBI custody extended by 5 days
