1.1.2 History
Lisp is a family of languages with a long history. Early key ideas in Lisp were developed by John McCarthy during the 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. McCarthy's motivation was to develop an algebraic list processing language for artificial intelligence work. Implementation efforts for early dialects of Lisp were undertaken on the IBM 704, the IBM 7090, the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-1, the DEC PDP-6, and the PDP-10. The primary dialect of Lisp between 1960 and 1965 was Lisp 1.5. By the early 1970's there were two predominant dialects of Lisp, both arising from these early efforts: MacLisp and Interlisp. For further information about very early Lisp dialects, see The Anatomy of Lisp or Lisp 1.5 Programmer's Manual.
MacLisp improved on the Lisp 1.5design at MIT. Although the Alto was not a total success as a Lisp machine, a dialect of Interlisp known as Interlisp-D became available on the D-series machines manufactured by Xerox---the Dorado, Dandelion, Dandetiger, and Dove (or Daybreak). An upward-compatible extension of MacLisp called Lisp Machine Lisp became available on the early MIT Lisp Machines. Commercial Lisp machines from Xerox, Lisp Machines (LMI), and Symbolics were on the market by 1981. For further information about Lisp Machine Lisp, see Lisp Machine Manual.
During the late 1970's, Lisp Machine Lisp began to expand towards a much fuller language. Sophisticated lambda lists, setf , multiple values, and structures like those in Common Lisp are the results of early experimentation with programming styles by the Lisp Machine group. Jonl White and others

of every thriller/horror movie where the young, vulnerable, pretty white lady is home alone at night and she hears a noise in the next room of her giant house, and rather than calling the cops or getting the hell out of there, she walks toward the sound with her wooden spatula as a weapon, and everyone in the audience is screaming NO YOU DUMB WOMAN, TURN AROUND!
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Our first introduction to "him" was in July, right after Joe and I had watched a scary movie in the past week, and Violet's all pointing to the doorway in our bedroom and talking to it like they used to be best friends but haven't seen each other in a while. WTF. Anyway, so then a few weeks later,he's in our living room by a doorway again. She's telling me where he is and then walking over to him and handing him stuff. They even played flashcards! Which is cool with me if this weirdo ghost guy wants to keep Violet up on her letter sounds (though he seemed to kinda suck, because she kept saying "What's dis?.... noooooooo!" It's obviously a Q idiot. Anyway.) For a while she was seeing him everywhere, and even though he's not real I felt violated. Why is this imaginary MAN in my house alone with me and my two daughters, playing with one of them? And not helping clean some dishes or something at least?
She forgot about him for a while, or maybe he was out of town, I

his friend and never counted on her being more clever than both of them combined.
"Did Mom ever do anything crazy?" Ruby spoke up after a long minute of quiet, moving past their silent conversation as if it needed no further discussion. "She looks so.. Shy, in that picture you have."
"She was shy.. At least at first." Qrow let out a loud laugh as he thought back to his days in school. "My sister and I are to blame for bringing her out of her shell, and before long she was running the craziness. There was one time in our third year where one of the first years was bullying some new girl, and Summer stole a whole baguette from the kitchen in the cafeteria and ran up andhit him over the head with it."
It wasn't hard for Ruby to envision such a bizarre scene. After all, she had participated in a brawl that had nearly leveled the cafeteria at Beacon, a fight of epic proportions where food had become their weapons. "So here's this guy towering over Summer, who is holding a loaf of bread and everyone is watching them, it's dead silent. And then your mom, serious as can be, tells him to 'Unhand the maiden, lest you feel my terrible wrath' like she's a knight from the old fairy tales!"
Ruby's grin at the mental image only grew as her uncle threw back his head and howled in laughter at the memory, the sight of him enjoying being lost in the past bringing a

Israel summoned Irish Ambassador Alison Kelly for a meeting on Wednesday over a bill making its way through her country’s Senate to criminalize trade with Israeli firms in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemns the Irish legislative initiative, the entire goal of which is to support the BDS movement and harm the State of Israel,” his office said on Tuesday.“The initiative gives backing to those who seek to boycott Israel and completely contravenes the guiding principles of free trade and justice,” it added.“Netanyahu instructed that the Irish Ambassador to Israel be summoned to the Foreign Ministry on this matter,” his office said.Put forward by Sen. Frances Black (Independent), the bill would prohibit trade“the previously oppressed African majority” to uphold its own culture. It also suggested the way in which the comments were reported, rather than the comments themselves, was divisive.
The backdrop to the dog debate is the legacy of Western colonialism in Africa, as well as the bitter struggle against apartheid in South Africa that culminated in the first democratic elections in 1994. Nelson Mandela, now 94 years old and ailing, became the country’s first black president as well as a symbol of reconciliation among all South Africans, though poverty and economic imbalances remain a source of deep strain in the nation of 50 million.

Algebraic Set Theory
Algebraic set theory uses the methods of category theory to study elementary set theory. The purpose of this website is to link together current research in algebraic set theory and make it easily available. It is hoped that this will encourage and facilitate further development of the subject.
Why do you call it "algebraic set theory"?

"My managers at Hamburg and Leverkusen didn't let me go [to the tournaments in 2010 and 2014], so I'm really thankful for the gaffer," said Son. "He took the risk.
"I made it but without him and without his choice, I couldn't have won the gold medal. I'm really thankful for that. I'm just thinking of a present for my gaffer."
Son played eight international matches in 26 days during his time away from Spurs, first for the Under-23s at the Asian Games and then for the senior side in friendlies against Costa Rica and Chile.
But he insisted: "I feel alright. There's been a lot of travelling and a lot of games. But if you get anawarded the penalty and Webster obliged once more.

Newton nearly restored the lead after the break with a shot wide from a narrow angle, but the Robins completed their comeback on 54 minutes when, after a good passing move, Reid got to the byline and sat the ball up for Hooton to nod home from three yards out.
Reid and Matt Richards went close to adding a fourth, the need for which was highlighted as Barwell sub Callum Earls blazed over from close range in the third minute of stoppage time.
But seconds later the win was sealed as Antwan Russell’s ball into the six-yard box was pushed out by keeper Liam Castle as far as Gary Ricketts who stabbed home to secure the

texts of Scripture seem most to confirm these
three generall Errors, I have here touched. As for those which Cardinall
Bellarmine hath alledged, for the present Kingdome of God administred by
the Pope, (than which there are none that make a better show of proof,)
I have already answered them; and made it evident, that the Kingdome
of God, instituted by Moses, ended in the election of Saul: After which
time the Priest of his own authority never deposed any King. That which
the High Priest did to Athaliah, was not done in his own right, but in
the right of the young King Joash her Son: But Solomon in his own right
deposed the High Priest Abiathar, and set up another in his place. The
most difficult place to answer, of all those than can be brought,
toand in St. Luke, where the same
is againe repeated, it is not unprobable, to say they have relation
to the Transfiguration, which is described in the verses immediately
following; where it is said, that "After six dayes Jesus taketh with
him Peter, and James, and John (not all, but some of his Disciples)
and leadeth them up into an high mountaine apart by themselves, and
was transfigured before them. And his rayment became shining, exceeding
white as snow; so as no Fuller on earth can white them. And there
appeared unto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus,

insomuch as "They were sore afraid." And thus the promise of our Saviour
was accomplished by way of Vision: For it was

14, 1919, in Scottsville, Va., Allen shared the same birthday as President Ford and joined in Ford's birthday parties at the White House.
Allen lived in Washington. His wife of 65 years, Helene, died in 2008. He is survived by a son, Charles; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.informative enough that you won't feel lost.
At the heart of the two-disc set is the documentary "Disneyland: Secrets, Stories & Magic". Introduced by Julie Andrews, the documentary takes a chronological look at the park that many in the company considered "Walt's Folly." Most of the focus is spent on the park's early construction and the years the park spent under his watchful eye, as well as some information on what has transpired at the park in the years following (including the addition of Johnny Depp to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride, just to give you an idea as to how current it is).
Though you'll sit through a number of "talking head" interviews, much of the documentary is stocked with amazing visuals and music from around the park,

including scenes from the park's opening (which you can watch on the previous DVD) as well as from Walt's various television shows. Some of the more entertaining interviews are with Pixar head John Lasseter, who was a skipper on the "Jungle Cruise" in his earlier years, and former Imagineers (park engineers who plan and develop attractions) like Rolly Crump, Marc Davis and X Atencio. Even George Lucas makes an appearance which, as anyone who knows me could tell you, was a pretty big deal for me.
The stories told by many of the people who knew Walt best are the more entertaining of the documentary's interviews. My particular favorite involved Walt having to decide between building restrooms or water fountains because of an impending plumbers' strike. Other stories includein what it took to build the park.
Another addition is "People and Places: Disneyland U.S.A.," a 1956 short film that is a basically a tour of the park after it first opened. Though it doesn't quite stand up to more modern productions, the film is interesting if just for the history behind it.
Both features are joined by a Disneyland Trivia game, which is a fun distraction. The game takes you through the park's seven themed lands and challenges you with basic and advanced trivia. As a game it isn't that entertaining, but you can unlock a few new clips which are nice to see.
The second disc features 3 Disneyland-themed episodes of the 1960's weekly television program, "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." "Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair"

"He asked the children to pray for him, and that's kind of interesting because he said he hated God," Rhoads said. "He must have recognized the faith in them, God in them."
Cathy Saunders, another friend of the Fisher family who met with them on Tuesday, the day their daughter Barbie was taken off a ventilator, said that the girl's first words were "where's Marian?"
But when the family told her her sister had died, Barbie was insistent that she be taken home to view the body.
"She wanted to be home to see her sister," Sauders said. "Viewing is a big part of the [Amish] culture." Despite being shot in the hip and shoulder, Barbie "really wanted" to see her sister one last time, Saunderssaid.
Investigators believe Roberts, who brought lubricating jelly and plastic restraints with him, may have been planning to sexually assault the Amish girls.
In notes left behind to his family and a cell-phone call to his wife, Roberts said he was haunted by memories of molesting two young relatives 20 years ago, according to police.
Roberts, a 32-year-old milk truck driver, also said he had dreams of molesting children again.
However, investigators said that the two relatives, who would have been 4 or 5 at the time of the alleged attack, had told them that the abuse never happened.
"Both of them have no recollection of being sexually assaulted by Roberts," state police trooper Linette Quinn said. "They were absolutely sure they had no contact with Roberts."

"In a couple weeks, she's going to meet with all the families," said Shirley Girvin, Marie Roberts' great-aunt. "That's her intention."
Jacquie Hess, Marie Roberts' aunt, said that she and her father, Lloyd Welk, the widow's grandfather, had met on Tuesday with the Fisher family.
"They told my father there were no hard feelings. There is forgiveness," Hess said.
She added that to this day she still had a hard time believing what Charles Roberts had done.

movements in 1 min during a measurement period. If the fish was not facing the camera for at least one minute during a measurement period, no ventilation rate was recorded for that measurement period. Interorbital width (when fish was facing straight on) and eye diameter (when side of fish was in view) were measured prior to the start of a trial and used as reference points to determine gape size. During the first ventilation of a measurement period, an image was isolated when the mouth was opened the widest. If the fish was not in a position where the first ventilation mouth gape was clear, an image of the second ventilation was taken and so on. If mouth gape was not visible during any time of the measurementperiod, mouth gape was not recorded for that measurement period. The isolated images were imported into ImageJ, where the reference point was selected (based on the position of the fish), measured and calibrated. After calibration, mouth gape size was determined as the distance from the tip of the snout to the lower jaw \[[@RSOS200049C35]\]. This distance was measured three times and the mean was used to represent mouth gape for a given measurement period. We assumed that mouth gape was proportional to tidal volume and that the buccal floor dropped with mouth gape. A metric which we considered to be representative of the volume of water inhaled during a respiratory cycle was created by combining ventilation rate and mouth gape. Within a trial, all mouth gape values were

This study took place at the Johnson and Johnson PBU at CHBAH in Soweto. Soweto is the largest township in the Gauteng province in South Africa and has a population of 1.3 million people, which accounts for 40% of Johannesburg's population (Frith [@CIT0003]). The PBU admits children from birth to 12 years of age.
This study was a non-equivalent, post-test only control group design which took place over a period of 14 months. It was not possible to randomise the children admitted to the PBU, as they all stay in the same room and are exposed to the same environment; so, the treatment offered to the children at any time-point needs to be the same.
In 2014, the PBU had 581 new burns admissions of which 112 were aged moreby the physiotherapy staff working in the unit. The intervention group was the second group of children recruited to the study, who all received standard physiotherapy management plus the Xbox Kinect™ intervention.
The Xbox Kinect™ intervention was only started once all the children in the control group had been discharged. Analysis of the data was done only after both groups had undergone their respective interventions by the first author.
Once discharged from the unit, a discharge summary form was filled out for each child by the first author. ROM measurements were done on the day of discharge from the unit and at the follow-up clinic. Active ROM and passive ROM were measured once the wounds had been checked by the doctors, without limitation of any bandages or dressings, and adequate

The Tax Court in summary made the following statement: "All of these evidences look in the direction of a provision for the integration of the proceeds of the insurance and the property devolving at death, creating persuasive inferences of a corresponding motivation in the mind of the individual whose conduct they reflect, and consistent only with testamentary motivation."
The Tax Court thought that "Such other motives as a desire to free his property from the hazards of stock market fluctuations and to avoidof Section 811. When subparagraph (g) is placed in immediate continuity to the basic and initial paragraph, the reading is as follows:

The FA said it is alleged Ferdinand "used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official in or around the tunnel area."
QPR had two strong penalty claims turned down by referee Craig Pawson.

"Over 250 men, women and children of Chakma and Tripuri tribes have taken shelter in northern Tripura's Gandachara area along the international border since Monday after fleeing their villages in Khagrachari district," Gandachara sub-divisional magistrate Bhaskar Dasgupta told IANS over phone.
"The tribals entered India Monday and Tuesday after ethnic trouble in Bangladesh. We have asked the Border Security Force (BSF) to step up security along the unfenced border," he said.
The tribals fled the Chittagong Hill Tracts in southeast Bangladesh after ethnic clashes and incidents of arson. The exact reason for the conflict is not yet known.

A prime-time news conference to be held tonight by President George W. Bush has prompted RTV6 and ABC to alter their programming lineups.
To accommodate the 7:30 p.m. news conference, ABC will not show the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" on Thursday night. At the end of the news conference, a special 90-minute edition of "Primetime Live" will air.
As of this afternoon, CBS seemed to be sticking to its usual programming for tonight. The official CBS site still listed both Survivor and CSI, and the web site of the CBS affiliate in Charleston, West Virginia carried a message saying "CBS is not expected to carry President Bush's prime-time news conference tonight," while directing viewers to CBSNews.com for a webcast of the press conference. In addition, Media Life Magazine noted thatsix women, it'll be a 12-woman team.
That will mean bigger challenges for the women. In past year's, the top couple of runners who ran the most miles were men, but this year, it'll be the top women runners for Team FAR taking on the biggest legs.
"We've always done the relay in hopes of winning or focusing on a time, doing it competitively," runner Jennifer VanIwarden said. "This year, we're really wanting to go out, let's have fun together and let's enjoy."
In 2011, Team FAR won first place overall. In the previous three years, the team has placed first in its division. It was third overall in 2012 and 2014. In 2013, the team took fourth overall.

"The Church of Ireland bishops and archbishops made it very clear they would be very happy to see the Pope in Ireland, North or South," he said.
"I suppose for them both to be seen together would be a momentous occasion but it would not be the first time the Pope and queen have met together."
The queen had a private meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2014.
Fr Tim Bartlett, one of the organisers of the World Meeting of Families, to be held in Dublin next August, said: "There is a very real possibility that Pope Francis will be joining us in August next year.
"I know he wants to be with us and we look forward to an announcement in January or February."
Officials say that thePope's schedule is not confirmed until a few months prior to any event.
Last November, former Taoiseach Enda Kenny held a private meeting at the Vatican with the head of the Catholic Church.
The last time there was a Papal visit to Ireland was in 1979, when Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass at the Phoenix Park in Dublin.
Asked about the prospect of a Papal visit in the North, a DUP spokesperson said: "Any potential visit to Northern Ireland by the Pope is a matter for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.
"The party leader [Arlene Foster] previously indicated that she would respect his position as head of state."

Convention Center. In the late 1980s, as an important element of convention-center expansion plans and economic development strategies, the city council had explored the possibility of making that site a convention center hotel. However, with the oil bust, the city's negotiations with a hotel developer collapsed. The space was designated as a four-acre green space in the 1989 master plan for the convention center expansion. Around this time, consideration also was given to developing part of this green space as a small plaza, perhaps with a monumental artwork.
In 1990, the convention center and the Convention and Visitors
Bureau conducted a survey of almost two million people who had attended
conventions in Dallas. Visitors were asked about what they came
to see in Dallas, what they expected to see, what they didn'tsee,
and what they wanted to see more of. Paula Peters, then executive
director of the Dallas Parks Foundation (now Trees and Parks Foundation),
is quoted in the Dallas Morning News as saying, "The overwhelming
response they got was: 'Where is the West? Where is Dallas history?
Did the city spring fullblown in 1960?' And that was the seed of
Pioneer Plaza."
The early discussions about how to develop the plaza/park space in 1991 revolved around landscaping and a water feature, with some thought about a sculpture, but no specifics. This is apparently what came before the council for discussion, if not approval. Around this time, Dallas-based developer Trammell Crow, chairman of the board of the Dallas Parks Foundation, saw an opportunity to enlarge the idea of the original plaza, to make it the gateway

As to the validity of the tax assessments, the Government introduced several pieces of documentary evidence. It was shown that England Senior was indicted on March 12, 1952, on two counts for willfully attempting to evade the federal income taxes owed by him for 1945 and 1946 by filing false and fraudulent income tax returns.

Amid a growing diplomatic crisis between the Gulf States and Qatar, US President Donald Trump tweeted on Tuesday that Middle Eastern leaders had "pointed to Qatar" as a main funder of "radical ideology."
"During my recent trip to the Middle East, I stated that there can no longer be funding of radical ideology," Trump tweeted. "Leaders pointed to Qatar."
Earlier on Tuesday, the Financial Times reported that Qatar had paid a ransom of $1.4 billion to al-Qaeda-linked forces in Syria to release members of its royal family kidnapped in Iraq. This, according to the report, was one of the main triggers for the decision by several Gulf States to cut off their ties with Qatar.
Among the countries that decided to cut off land, sea and air routes to Qatar aremeters tall, weighs 110 kg, and can curse constantly. Yeah, that's Ervin.

The officers, on the other hand, thankfully stayed. "You want us to uncuff him, Doc?" one of the officers asked me. "Hey wait," one of the nurses said. "I know this guy! Yeah, Ervin!

The Obama administration had expressed concerns about the Iran sanctions, which the White House feared could backfire and limit its ability to persuade other countries to join the United States in multilateral sanctions by forcing Iran to drive up oil prices.

Business opportunities
The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake in Quebec announced in March that it was on a "fact-finding mission," seeking information about the medical cannabis industry. The community's website says the council now has a Cannabis Working Group.
In an email, political press attache Joe Delaronde said the council "has made no secret of its very preliminary exploration of potential business opportunities in the medical marijuana field."
The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake is just one First Nation that's investigating the benefits of investing in legal marijuana, medical and recreational. (CBC) In an appearance on Kahnawake Television, a local station, council Chief Rhonda Kirby said leadership was also investigating other possible opportunities.
"We are looking for partnerships with people that are already licensed providers, and in anticipation of the federal law beingpassed in 2018, what would that mean for the community if a recreational [marijuana] law was passed?"
At the Assembly of First Nations annual meeting in Gatineau, Que., in December 2016, chiefs unanimously supported a resolution introduced by Chief Adam, which directs the organization to push Ottawa for "priorities and incentives to ensure that First Nations are given the opportunity to participate and benefit fully from the development of this new and emerging sector."
Risks vs. benefits
One issue that's likely going to come up when First Nations invest in recreational marijuana, Adam admits, is the health aspect — especially in those communities that are already grappling with addiction issues.
While he's willing to make money off any new pot industry, Adam said there still needs to be discussion between Canada and

Bank's closing argument, its counsel advised the jurors that (1) he was embarrassed by being called to the witness stand, and (2) although he knew that the jurors didn't care about a lawyer's being embarrassed, they surely had a sense of what was right and wrong and what was fair play. Central's counsel objected to this statement. The trial court then sustained the objection and struck the remark from the record. Then, in rebuttal closing argument, Central's counsel said:
"Now Mr. Houchen said there was something improper with my calling him as a witness. I called him as a witness to show one thing and that is that he announced he would call Bruce McKenzie as an expert witness and he chose not to do that."
After the Bank's objectionstated that it intended to amend its pleadings to formally raise the issue. The Bank concedes that the issue was properly raised.
Later, when the Bank was cross-examining John Oberding, a principal owner of North American, concerning various conversations he and another owner had with certain Bank officers, Central objected on the basis of the Statute of Frauds and the ruling on the in limine motion. However, the court overruled the objection, stating that the evidence was admissible under the "resolution of problems" paragraph of the July 1979 contract. Paragraph 26(E) of the July 1979 contract provides that "[Central] and [the Bank] agree to cooperate and negotiate in good faith to resolve any problems in connection with any Conversion hereunder."

[*] The pursuit of a bee-hunter is not uncommon, on the skirts of
American society, though it is a little embellished here. When the
bees are seen sucking the flowers, their pursuer contrives to
capture one or two. He then chooses a proper spot, and suffering
one to escape, the insect invariably takes its flight towards the
hive. Changing his ground to a greater or less distance according
to circumstances, the bee-hunter then permits another to escape.

perpetuation of Israel's ethnocracy-disguised-as-democracy.
Other Israeli methods of dealing with the apparent surplus of Africans in the country have included political incitement to anti-African violence and the forcible injection of Ethiopian women with contraceptives.
As Israeli-Canadian journalist David Sheen noted, between November 2012 and May 2013 the Jewish state had approved only one asylum application from a population of approximately 60,000 non-Jewish African asylum seekers in Israel. The applicant happened to be an albino.
"When Israel rounds up and deports African refugees, it makes a mockery of the millions of Jews who died during World War II because no one would grant them shelter," Sheen has remarked.
But what does Uganda stand to gain from participating in outsourced inhumanity? A 2013 Vice magazine report details the perks of the arrangement: Weapons discountsand military training for African countries willing to take on Israel's dirty work.
To be sure, Israel's long success in oppressing Palestinians and other Arabs makes its expertise quite marketable among abusive states. Uganda's interest in Israeli weapons is perhaps less than surprising given the behaviour of its own army and security forces, often characterised by torture and other human rights violations.
Back in 2003, Haaretz ran a story on Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's visit to Israel for the purpose of "arms shopping", an excursion that was said to have been "arranged by an arms merchant, Amos Golan of the Silver Shadow company, who represents IAI [Israel Aircraft Industries] and other Israeli defence industries in Uganda". Highlights of the itinerary included an air show of pilotless drones.

the wellbeing of the arms industry over the wellbeing of humans naturally can't be expected to waste time helping refugees find refuge. Quite auspiciously for said industry, the Israeli regime insists on referring to African asylum seekers as "infiltrators", which connotes criminality and facilitates the illusion of a steady stream of enemies that must be combated.
Uganda's denial of the existence of any deportation agreement with Israel renders accountability for human life even less of an option.
Territorial entitlement
The Vice magazine article notes that, as of September of last year, approximately 40,000 of the African "infiltrators" were from Eritrea, "a country with one of the worst human rights records on Earth".
The author goes on to comment, with well-directed sarcasm, that "[t]hese people aren't coming to Israel because they fancy uppingtheir matzah intake or living on Palestinian land illegally; they're genuinely trying to escape persecution and find a way to survive".
Indeed, Israel enjoys a bit of a monopoly when it comes to the practise of setting up shop on other people's territory.
The appropriation of Palestine in 1948 - the year of Israel's spontaneous foundation - incidentally set the stage for a less amicable period in Israeli-Ugandan relations. In 1976, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the German Baader-Meinhof gang hijacked an Air France flight from Tel Aviv and diverted it to Uganda's Entebbe airport in an attempt to secure the release of prisoners held in Israel and other countries. The Israeli military then staged a bloody hostage rescue mission that was condemned by

evaluations of Mr. Evatt performed by Western State Hospital between 2007 and 2015,

Kevin McNally and Robert Bathurst were the initial casting announcements as Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson, with Bernard Cribbins portraying Private Godfrey. The full cast was announced in January 2019, with McNally, Bathurst and Cribbins joined by Kevin Eldon, Mathew Horne, David Hayman and Tom Rosenthal. However, Bernard Cribbins subsequently withdrew from the project, and was replaced as Godfrey by Timothy West.

The allegation against Real is that their transactions with Madrid city council, dating back to a 1996 agreement between the two parties, constitute illegal state aid under article 87 of the Treaty of the European Community. It is alleged that the council hugely overestimated its debt to the football club in order that the former could give Real the prime city-centre land they require for their new development.
As with all leading European clubs, Real are subject toUefa FFP regulations which forbid any form of state aid. In a joint statement released by Uefa's president, Michel Platini, and Almunia last year, they declared that the "objectives [of FFP] are also consistent with the aims and objectives of European Union policy in the field of state aid".
The investigation into Real's deal with Madrid city council centres upon an area of land in the north of the city, Las Tablas. Having originally been valued at €421,000 when it was part of a payment by the council to the club in 1998; the same land was then valued at €22.7m in 2011, a 5,400 per cent rise, when the council decided they had to take it back. In lieu of a €22.7m payment, the club was given the

The First General Directorate of the KGB was responsible for all operations of the service outside the USSR; this Directorate included departments focused on different geographical areas of the world, which were the operational nucleus of the General Directorate and were responsible, among other things, for the duties of almost all KGB-linked companies operating outside Soviet territory. And within these geographical departments, the Fifth was concerned with France, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland … and Spain. Certainly we did not reach the level of the United States and Canada (First Department, exclusively occupied by these two countries) but we were not very far, perhaps on a second level. For different reasons that have obviously changed over the years, since the Civil Waruntil now Spain has been a historical objective (not the most important, but relevant) for Soviet intelligence and now it is still so for Russian intelligence: from the NKVD during its lifetime to the current services, obviously passing through the KGB from the middle to the end of the last century. Exactly the same as the USSR, or Russia today, it also is and has been an important objective for the West: for example, we have only to read something about the operation Mari, in the 60s ([2])....

N.W.2d 665 (1990).
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
The history of this action is best understood if reviewed in chronological order. Considered in the light most favorable to the successful party, FICB, the facts are as follows: In 1972, K & K was incorporated for the purpose of conducting farming operations. Gerald R. Kirwan, Jr., was the president and sole shareholder of K & K. Between 1973 and 1974, Kirwan and his wife, Leona, through land contracts, purchased the subject real estate, comprising 2,560 acres in Rock County, Nebraska. Upon completion of payments over a 10- to 20-year period, the Kirwans were to receive warranty deeds which were placed in escrow.
On March 5, 1980, the Kirwans assigned their interest in the land contracts to the Valentine Production Credit Association (PCA) as security forloans to be used for annual operating expenses, which loans subsequently were drawn against a $4.7 million line of credit. In subsequent years, the line of credit and the Kirwans' indebtedness increased. Later, during the 1982 crop season, Kirwan pledged his stock in K & K to Galyen Petroleum Company (GPC) to secure the payment of a fuel bill in excess of $300,000.
On November 1, 1982, Kirwan recorded a "Notice of Contract of Sale" in the Rock County register of deeds' office. That filing gave notice of a purported contract of sale in which the Kirwans had agreed to sell the subject property, along with other real estate, to K & K.
With the downturn in the farm economy, the Kirwans were forced to file a chapter 11 bankruptcy

"The court plans to conclude the hearings on Feb. 24 after completing the questioning of witnesses," acting Chief Justice Lee Jung-mi said during the 14th hearing. "I ask both sides to submit their final statements by Feb. 23 and prepare for the final defense during the hearing on Feb. 24."
Park's lawyers claimed they need more time to prepare, saying even "ordinary trials" allow for more time between the submission of the final statement and the final oral defense.

Jewish day schools, kosher facilities, and other Jewish institutions beyond synagogues. Additionally, many of the Russian Jews were alienated from their Jewish heritage and unfamiliar or uncomfortable with religion. American-style Reform Judaism (which originated in Germany), has re-emerged in Germany, led by the Union of Progressive Jews in Germany, even though the Central Council of Jews in Germany and most local Jewish communities officially adhere to Orthodoxy.
In Germany it is a criminal act to deny the Holocaust or that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust (§ 130 StGB); violations can be punished with up to five years of prison.[10] In 2007, the Interior Minister of Germany, Wolfgang Schäuble, pointed out the official policy of Germany: "We will not tolerate any form of extremism, xenophobia or anti-Semitism."[11]heavy security surrounds most synagogues or Jewish community centers.[88] Yosef Havlin, Rabbi at the Chabad Lubavitch in Frankfurt, does not agree with the Israeli Ambassador and states in an interview with Der Spiegel in September 2007 that the German public does not support far-right groups; instead, he has personally experienced the support of Germans, and as a Jew and rabbi he "feels welcome in his (hometown) Frankfurt, he is not afraid, the city is not a no-go-area".[89]
A flagship moment for the burgeoning Jewish community in modern Germany occurred on November 9, 2006 (the 68th anniversary of Kristallnacht), when the newly constructed Ohel Jakob synagogue was dedicated in Munich, Germany.[90][91] This is particularly crucial given the fact that Munich was once at the ideological heart of Nazi Germany.

capital, and Palestinians have said they want East Jerusalem to be the capital of their future state. Israel has controlled the entirety of Jerusalem since the 1967 Six-Day War and claims it as their capital, though that isn’t recognized on the international stage.America’s 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act mandated that the U.S. embassy be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by May 31, 1999. However, every president since has signed a waiver delaying the move, citing congressional overreach and U.S. national security interests.Trump, however, repeatedly pledged on the campaign trail that he would move the embassy to Jerusalem, a promise that resonated with both Christian evangelicals and right-wing Jewish-Americans. He said he would initiate the move on his first day in office. But Trump has apparently realized that theSoybeans are a major cash crop and investment commodity in North America and elsewhere. Soybean oil is one of the most widely used edible oils, and soybeans are used worldwide both in animal feed and in human food production.
The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, was first identified on soybeans in the United States in 1954 at Castle Hayne, N.C. Winstead, et al., Plant Dis. Rep. 39:9-11,1955. Since its discovery the soybean cyst nematode ("SCN") has been recognized as one of the most destructive pests in soybean. It has been reported in nearly all states in which soybeans are grown, and it causes major production problems in several states, being particularly destructive in the midwestern states.

Professional wrestling is a popular form of entertainment in Australia, North America, Latin America, Europe and Japan.
Wrestling as a modern sport developed in the 19th century out of traditions of folk wrestling, emerging in the form of two styles of regulated competitive sport, "freestyle" and "Greco-Roman" wrestling (based on British and continental tradition, respectively), summarized under the term "amateur wrestling" by the beginning of the modern Olympics in 1896. purely performative, choreographed wrestling ("admitted fakery" or "kayfabe") from competitive sport begins in the 1920s.

Initially, as people preferred traditional gospel music, there was difficulty finding a market for their music. Later, in 1998, a canceled tour presented the group with financial difficulties. However, after a rocky start, the groups developed many fans worldwide, allowing them to publish seven records and tour a variety of places, entertaining in Africa and performing for the U.S. Army.

did Allen violate the provisions of those documents. Accordingly, he entered summary judgment for Allen. On appeal Smith contends that there was evidence of pretext and that Allen breached a contractual duty to her. We affirm.

Smith worked for the Foundation from 1985 to 1999. The Foundation is the fund-raising arm of Allen Memorial Hospital. Smith's job title changed from development secretary to administrative secretary, but the duties of her job always included promptly acknowledging contributions to the Foundation with a receipt and thank you letter. Smith's written job description as administrative secretary included the requirement that she "acknowledge each donation with a thank-you card and a receipt daily." She agreed at her deposition that it was her understanding that these tasks were to be performed daily, except thatin a "crisis," she might be allowed to catch up "on the next day or so." Also at her deposition, Smith agreed that she understood the importance to a charitable organization of thanking donors and getting tax receipts out to them. She admitted that in the second week of December 1998, Robert Justis, the Executive Director of the Foundation, told her that he had received complaints from donors that they had not received acknowledgments. Smith said she told Justis that she "would try to get them [the acknowledgments] out as quickly as possible," but they did not discuss how far behind she was.

jobs at Allen Hospital, but the Hospital did not hire any of the people Smith knew. In the fall of 1998, Smith asked Kenneth Leibold, the Hospital's Human Resources Director, if national origin discrimination could be the reason for the Hospital's failure to hire the Bosnians. Leibold said no, and the two of them never talked about the subject again.

On January 1, 1999, Smith took family leave so that she could go to Romania to adopt a child. The day before she went on leave, Smith took a stack of donor receipts that needed to be mailed out, put them on a chair in her office, and left a note for another employee, Jenny Garrison, asking her to type thank you notes and mail the notes and receiptswhile Smith was on leave. Smith said she "may have mentioned to [Garrison] that I would appreciate her getting those out in the first couple days because of the tax reasons," but she did not tell Garrison that it was urgent. Smith also testified that she mentioned to Justis that "there were probably going to be a few things I had not completed" before going on leave.

On January 6, 1999, while Smith was in Romania, another employee, Matt Rolinger, found a stack of receipts in Smith's work area. The receipts went back to November 4, 1998 and represented more than 400 donations worth more than $350,000. One unacknowledged donation was for a contribution worth $136,000 from the donor who had complained back in November about not getting a

stack of receipts Allen identified as not having been sent. One method of proving pretext is to show that the employer's proffered explanation had no basis in fact. Erickson, 271 F.3d at 727. However, at her deposition, Smith identified a stack of receipts as copies of receipts going back to the first week of November 1998, and she admitted that she did not send them out before going on leave on January 1, 1999. In light of these admissions, the mere assertion in her brief that she disputes the "legitimacy" of the receipts is not enough to raise a genuine issue of fact.
17
Smith attempted several other methods of proving pretext. First, she contends that she received a favorable review from Justis on December 31, 1998, just days beforeagreed at her deposition that when Justis spoke to her, they did not discuss how far behind she was, and she told him she would "try to get [the receipts] out as quickly as possible." Justis's attempt to deal with the problem in early December by speaking to Smith about it and his acceptance of her word that she would rectify the situation does not tend to prove that the problem he discovered in January was not serious enough to call for Smith's discharge.
18
Smith also contends that she proved pretext by showing that Sue Groves, her replacement, was not held to the same standard as she was. An employee can prove pretext by showing the employer meted out more lenient treatment to similarly situated employees who were not

two terror attacks in less than six months, was the first to be put on high alert based on the input, followed by Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. In January this year, terrorists had attacked an air force base in Punjab’s Pathankot, killing seven military personnel.
"An alert has been issued in the state (Punjab) after we received an input from the special cell of Delhi police," a senior official in Punjab police told PTI.
The terrorists are travelling from Jammu and Kashmir in a grey Swift Dzire car along with a local resident and are expected to cross the Banihal tunnel later tonight, the alert says, adding their target could be in Delhi, Goa and Mumbai.
Indian agencies had in March received information from their Pakistani counterparts about the possibility of10 terrorists infiltrating into the country from across the border. Security agencies had then launched a nationwide search for the infiltrators in which three suspected terrorists were killed. The details of the operation are yet to be made public.
The alert issued by Punjab's Director General of Police (Law and Order) to all the Commissioners and SSPs in the state, highlights the car "bearing registration number JK-01 AB-2654 is carrying three Pakistani militants and a local. The Pakistani militants have sufficient arms, ammunition and possibly suicide belt."
Police officers have been asked to focus on strict checking of vehicles, security of vital installations including police buildings and defence establishments, religious places, markets, malls, railway stations and tracks, and educational institutions.

R'ed (then Ashulet, technically. He decided early on that he was Red 4 lyf, because... kid logic) was born and raised on a herdbeast ranch that also had a decent sized chicken flock (and, coincidentally, also happened to be near a town that frequently held cockfights). He was pretty quiet from the beginning, and initially his parents were worried about him, simply from the lack of noise and general chill-ness of their firstborn. But he grew up normally, save for the lack of speech until he was three, and he quickly developed a certain talentwith animals. It was because he tended to observe behavior through the tried and true method of Blank Stare at Everything, but it was noticed, and gave him a bit more leeway with the animals.
When he was twelve, a rooster hatched. It was a vicious bastard of a rooster and it hated everything. Red immediately took to it, named it Pidgey, and started training it to fight (the logic being "eh, can't get any worse, he already tries to kill the other chickens" and "my family could use some extra cash"). He took Pidgey to fight a short while after, and... lost. Pidgey got trashed, but lived, and R'ed was laughed out of the building.

effectiveness until 2018. Indeed, it is likely that certain EU Member States will oppose at least some of the proposals, as they may be viewed as potentially harmful to the investment climate for those countries as well as to their competitiveness both within and outside of the EU. Once approved, and especially once it is implemented into Member State law, the Package will have a significant impact on any tax planning and structuring involving EU companies and businesses operating within the European Union.
The first pillar of the Package is focused on ensuring that companies pay tax where they derive their profits. The Package includes (i) a proposal for an Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, laying down legally binding rules against tax avoidance practices (the "Directive")[6] as well as (ii) acountry-by-country reporting was still being considered.[19] Since the release of the Package, however, it appears that the Commission may present legislation as early as April 12, 2016, to provide for public country-by-country reporting, as has been strenuously advocated by various NGOs.[20]
Securing a Level Playing Field: Communication on an External Strategy for Effective Taxation and a Tax Haven Blacklist
The third pillar focuses on securing the (in)famous ideal of a "level playing field." The Commission emphasizes that tax avoidance and harmful tax competition are global problems, and as such, actions to prevent them must extend beyond the European Union's borders. Also, developing countries should be included in an international tax "good governance" network to ensure that they can also benefit from the global fight against tax avoidance. The Package therefore

Parliament and Council should also endorse the Tax Treaty Recommendation, and Member States should follow it when revising any of their existing tax treaties or negotiating new ones. Member States should also formally agree on the new External Strategy and decide on how to take it forward as quickly as possible once it has been endorsed by the European Parliament.
In addition to the proposals in the Package, the Commission continues to be active in what it views as illegal State aid granted by Member States via rulings. Much has already been written on this subject, both in the press and in other Jones Day Commentaries. The most recent Commission decision involves so-called "Excess Profit Rulings" issued by the Belgian Government to multinationals (both EU and U.S. in origin),the release of the Commission's Package, when Germany's highest court (the Bundesfinanzhof or "BFH") published its decision that the German "interest barrier" rule (which formed the model for the EU proposal to limit interest deductions) violates the fundamental right of equal treatment among taxpayers as well as the "principle of taxation of the net income." Under German Constitutional Law, the BFH had to submit the case to the German Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht or "BVerfG") because only the latter has the power to void unconstitutional legislation. The BVerfG is not expected to render its decision on short notice and certainly not before the abovementioned May 2016 ECOFIN meeting, at which a vote on the proposed Directive is planned. And this might make the adoption of the Directive difficult for

with just their new words and phrases however,
they are unabashed when it comes to redefining old ones for their new
purposes. "Homosexuality" is now "pedophilia", but
only as it applies to Catholic priests, not the North American Man-Boy
Love Association. Those men are simply "expressing their sexuality".
"Human rights" describes what white people refuse blacks. "Entitlement"
is just another way of nicely packaging the redistribution of wealth.
It is also another word for "welfare". "Abortion"
is legal murder just as is "mercy-killing" ("euthanasia"
confuses the great unwashed). When conservatives bring up God within the
context of a political discussion, liberals pull out "separation
of church and state" even though they know the Constitution means
"no state sponsored religions". Pornography, once a clearly
defined word, is now another way of saying "freedom of speech"
in their new language.

Scientists are closing in on a "consistent picture of how the universe evolved from the earliest moment to the present," expanding, cooling and clumping over its 14-billion-year history. Tegmark pays tribute to MIT colleague Alan Guth, whose inflation theory predicts not just a really big universe, but an infinite one, with parallel universes. As fantastic a concept as this appears, Tegmark says, "I feel inflation is testable." Scientists can increasingly take the measure of a vast cosmos, with real numbers.

standing next to him. Rose asked Furr whether he had frisked Simpson, to which Furr replied that he had not. Concerned that Simpson also might have a weapon, Rose frisked Simpson and found a small open-bladed knife in Simpson's jacket. Rose testified that, as he extracted the knife, a cellophane bag fell out of Simpson's pocket and onto the hood of the police car. Believing the bag to contain crack cocaine, Rose immediately placed Simpson under arrest. After a field test confirmed that the cellophane bag contained cocaine base, the officers conducted a search incident to arrest which yielded a vial of dilaudid pills and a box of marijuana.

At a suppression hearing, Simpson moved to have all ofthe evidence suppressed as unlawfully seized. The District Court denied the motion and the case went to trial, wherein Simpson testified in his own defense. In response to a direct question from the Assistant United States Attorney ("AUSA"), Simpson admitted that he had carried dilaudid on at least one other occasion. When the AUSA attempted to explore the depth of Simpson's prior experience with dilaudid, Simpson denied knowing much about the drug. The AUSA then asked for and received permission from the court to inquire into Simpson's prior conviction for possession of dilaudid to impeach Simpson's proclaimed lack of knowledge.

On the second day of trial, Simpson requested a bench warrant to secure the presence of an eyewitness who had failed

The U.S. ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, told a Russian radio station on Tuesday that CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently met with Russian spy officials, but he did not say where the meeting occurred or say specifically who attended. Huntsman was underscoring cooperation between the two nations.
"Just in the last week, he (Pompeo) has had probably the most important meetings on counterterrorism that we've had in a very, very long time, at the senior levels," Huntsman said in the interview with the radio station Echo of Moscow.

Description
This series captures the excitement and thrill of sports and activities whose appeal lies in speed and a hint of danger -- guaranteed to give participant a rush of adrenalin. Illustrated with spectacular photography throughout, each book is packed with information about the activity, breaking it into sections which look at why take part, where it take places, the equipment needed, competitions, etc. The books are principally aspirational, so focus on the background to the sport rather than 'how do it' but the books do include ideas on how you get started and make any safety concerns absolutely clear.show more

The hydrotalcite-supported Olympic medal metal nanoparticles offer significant benefits in achieving "green" organic synthesis due to: (i) their high catalytic activities and selectivities; (ii) wide applicability; and (iii) reusability of the catalyst. Integrated heterogeneous catalysts that rely on the concerted action between Olympic medal metal nanoparticles and the surface properties of inorganic crystallites will open new avenues for development of novel organic transformations and contribute to the realization of Green Sustainable Chemistry.

I believe that the above "dig" provides at least a little counterbalance to the dozens of Mayan websites that concentrate on ancient ruins in the jungles, sparked by scholarly interest in people dead a thousand years, and neglect of those dying or suffering and living more recently, now.

Plate tectonics
Bridge across the Álfagjá rift valley in southwest Iceland, the boundary of the Eurasian and North American continental tectonic plates.
Plate tectonics (from Greek τέκτων, tektōn "builder" or "mason") is a theory of geology which was developed to explain the observed evidence for large scale motions within the Earth's crust. The theory encompassed and superseded the older theory of continental drift from the first half of the 20th century and the concept of sea floor spreading developed during the 1960s.
The outermost part of the Earth's interior is made up of two layers: above is the lithosphere, comprising the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, which is a more viscous zone of the mantle. Although solid, the asthenosphere has verylow shear strength and can flow like a liquid on geological time scales. The deeper mantle below the asthenosphere is more rigid again.
The lithosphere essentially floats on the asthenosphere. The lithosphere has broken up into what are called tectonic plates—in the case of Earth, there are ten major and many minor plates. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at speeds of several centimetres per year.
Synopsis on development
Plate tectonic theory is currently the theory accepted by the vast majority of scientists working in the geosciences. It arose out of and was preceded by early hypotheses

shorter. He drew her a rough sketch of what he wanted, and Saito quickly revised her design into the more familiar one seen in the anime.
The plot also underwent some changes. The original pitch was about a group of female warriors called the "Neo Elegansar" who fight against "The end of the world." The concept seems very influenced by Sailor Moon , although all the girls dress up in men's clothes. The protagonist Utena transforms through kissing. Hence, the original title was pretty straightforward: " Revolutionary Girl Utena Kiss."
In 1996, Ikuhara left Toei and created the Be-PaPas creative group, which consisted of him, Chiho Saitō , writer Yoji Enokido , animator and character designer Shinya Hasegawa , and producer Yūichirō Oguro . After Revolutionary Girl Utena aired in1997, Ikuhara stopped directing anime until 2011, when Penguindrum came out. Ikuhara moved to Los Angeles for a year in 2001, but he was back to pitching original anime after he returned to Japan.
Around 2005-2006, he was working on a pitch for an animated film for Nokemono to Hanayome (The Nokemono & The Bride). This would be based on a "gothic lolita hard battle" novel Ikuhara wrote with the same title, which was serialized in the teen fashion magazine Kera. This was followed up with a manga sequel in 2007, which was drawn by Asumiko Nakamura (the woman who would later go on to draw the acclaimed BL manga Doukyusei -Classmates- ). The proposed anime would be called Nokemono to Hanayome + (pronounced "cross"), and although the anime

OTTAWA -- Sen. Mike Duffy has introduced a new plotline into his story about his life with the Conservatives, alleging that party operatives deliberately misdirected voters in a Vancouver Island riding in 2008.
Duffy testified Thursday about a trip he took to British Columbia in September 2009, at the request of former sport minister Gary Lunn. Many of the 31 charges that Duffy faces have to do with travel he billed to the Senate.
Duffy says he met Lunn and David Angus, a lobbyist for Molson Canada, a few months prior to his trip. He said Lunn was worried about re-election and wanted Duffy to appear at a local fair and for Molson to help with an Olympic torch.
"He'd had a close call during the previous election and it wasonly through the divine intervention of (late campaign manager) Doug Finley's black ops group at Conservative headquarters that he managed to get himself re-elected," Duffy told the court.
Julian West, the federal NDP candidate in Saanich-Gulf Islands in 2008, had withdrawn from the race, but his name remained on the ballot. Duffy recounted that the Conservatives used the party's voter database to encourage NDP voters to vote for that candidate.
"Basically what happened was that they used robocalls to misdirect NDP voters, to split the vote and allow Gary Lunn to win," Duffy said.
"He knew nothing about it, except that they phoned him afterward and said 'You're welcome Gary.' He said 'What?' (They said) 'We got you in'."
Lunn told The Canadian Press on Thursday that he has no recollection of

statement saying, "This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility."
He also called the White House and apologized to Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff.
On Thursday, Wilson told reporters, "Last night, I heard from the leadership that they wanted me to contact the White House and state that my statements were inappropriate. I did."
Obama accepted Wilson's apology Thursday, but Democrats say Wilson's actions on the House floor have consequences.
Democratic leadership aides said that Wilson declined an opportunity to apologize on the floorThursday. During the final series of votes for the week, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer spoke to the House Republican leader, John Boehner, R-Ohio, about giving Wilson an opportunity to make an apology on the floor.
Boehner acknowledged that he spoke to Wilson on the House floor Thursday but declined to disclose any specifics.
Clyburn also spoke directly to Wilson, who refused Clyburn's appeal to make the apology on the floor, according to Greco.
An aide to Wilson said, "the congressman is aware of the decision by the Democrat leadership and will be making a decision this weekend."
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told CNN that "Rep. Wilson has apologized to the president, and the president accepted his apology. As [Pelosi] said yesterday, now it's time to talk about health care."

A mainland Chinese director is changing a main actor in her new film after netizens renewed calls to boycott the movie over the actor's support for "Taiwan independence".
The crew released an announcement on Weibo on Friday, saying that they will change cast member Leon Dai, since the actor didn't show a "clear" attitude toward whether he is a supporter of "Taiwan Independence".
The announcement said that there is no border in the arts society, but artists should maintain emotions for where they are from and the people who support them, and no hesitation can be allowed on this matter.
"I will never forget my identity as a Chinese person. To me, the State and national interests take precedence over anything else," said director Zhao Wei on her Weibo.
Dai was criticizedhave accused Lawton of expressing openly misogynistic, racist and homophobic views on social media posts and in his various jobs as a talk radio host and contributor to far-right Rebel Media.
The London Free Press reported that the comments include responding to a poll in 2015 that found homophobia was a concern for London’s gay community by writing on Facebook, "Number of sexual orientation-motivated hate crimes in Canada per year: 185. Number of HIV/AIDS infections from men (who) have sex with men in Canada per year: 1,450. Who is the real enemy?"

lifetime. When I left university and started playing club hockey in London back in the sixties, conventional wisdom had it that you could play hockey up to the age of about thirty, maybe thirty five, and then you had to look for other sporting activities such as golf or bowls. In the club I played for was one gentleman by the name of Dougie Stocks who was considered to be quite eccentric because he was still playing enthusiastically at the age of fifty. Contrast that with the situation today. I recently played in the Hockey Grand Masters World Cup tournament. This is a tournament exclusively for players over the age of sixty with divisions for over sixty five and over seventy. There were some four hundred players fromAND PROCRASTINATION
In my third year of high school, our form master had one standard punishment. "Mayes, write out one hundred times 'procrastination is the thief of time'" – or two hundred times for major misdemeanours. I cannot say that have remembered any of the history which he taught us, but throughout my life I have been aware of the pernicious nature of procrastination.
Fear often leads to one of two consequent behaviours. It can lead to indecision, the situation of not being able to come to a conclusion. Procrastination may seem to be similar, but is in fact subtly different. The indecisive person would like to make a decision right now, but cannot decide on a course of action. The procrastinator decides not to make a decision now, but

From 1 January 1993 to 31 December 1994 he was employed on the basis of special agreements, which contained an arbitration clause providing for an "arbitral panel" composed of three members. The Tribunal's jurisdiction is therefore limited to the effects of the relationship between the [organisation] and the complainant from October 1974 to the end of December 1992."
Judgment 2016
Consideration 2
Extract:
"As emphasised by the [organisation], the applicable interim Staff Rules provide that the education grant is calculated on the basis of expenses actually incurred. The complainant cannot therefore claim grants calculated on the hypothetical basis of the costs that would have been incurred had hecompany truck, for which he was required to pay $40 per day. He was given the meat on consignment for $100 per case, which had a retail value of $354 per case. Pursuant to a written agreement, Appellant was to return to the company with the truck by 9:00 p.m. each work day to settle up his sales. It was at that time that he was required to pay for the cases of meat that he had sold and return any unsold product to the company.
On the date in question, January 10, 2001, Appellant took the truck and seven cases of meat. According to Charles Shaw, Appellant telephoned him later that night and told Shaw that he was on his way back with the truck. Appellant called back

The decision in Federal-Mogul, supra, was subsequently followed by the NLRB in Abex Corp-Aerospace Division & Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, 215 NLRB 665 (1974).

Although the NLRB decision in Abex Corp, supra, was overturned in National Labor Relations Board v Abex Corp-Aerospace Div, 543 F2d 719 (CA 9, 1976), the Court in that case drew a distinction between the situation presented therein and that which was involved in Federal-Mogul, supra:

Not exactly.
In Portland, Oregon, city and state officials are pushing a plan to spend a half-billion dollars widening Interstate 5 as it passes north of the city’s downtown.

That evening, in a televised statement, he called the delayed reporting of the accident “indefensible” but vehemently denied that he been involved in any improprieties with Kopechne. He also asked his constituents to help him decide whether to continue his political career. Receiving a positive response, he resumed his senatorial duties at the end of a month.
There is speculation that he used his considerable influence to avoid more serious charges that could have resulted from the episode. Although the incident on Chappaquiddick Island helped to derail his presidential hopes, Kennedy continued to serve as a U.S. senator of Massachusetts into the 21st century. He died in 2009.

VS Naipaul (August 17, 1932-August 11, 2018), Trinidad-born son of an Indian civil servant, Oxford graduate and Nobel Prize-winning British author who analysed postcolonialism, died aged 85 in London
VS Naipaul, who won the Booker Prize in 1971 for In A Free State, died "surrounded by those he loved having lived a life which was full of wonderful creativity and endeavor," said his wife Lady Nadira Naipaul late Saturday, August 11.
Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul began writing novels while at Oxford University on scholarship in the 1950s and spent much of his time traveling and describing what he called a lack of roots.
His early works focused on the West Indies, culminating in his 1961 breakthrough novel A House for Mr Biswas, a tragicomic story of a Brahmin Indian living in Trinidadsearching for independence and identity.
Although his writing was praised for its compassion toward the destitute, he was later criticized by colleagues, including Trinidadian writer CLR James, for espousing "what whites want to say but dare not."
One-time literary friend, American writer Paul Theroux, published a stinging memoir about Naipaul in 1998. They later resolved their differences.
His death was met with tributes from many literary colleagues. Among them was Salman Rushdie, who said he was "sad as if [he had] just lost a beloved older brother."
'Literary circumnavigator'
Among Naipaul's 30 books were several non-fiction works including Among the Believers, published in 1981, in which he warned about radical Islamic fundamentalism.
He once likened former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to a pirate at the head of a socialist revolution.

Durakovic said he would never forget the qualifiers, especially the return match in Buenos Aires on November 17 in front of 100,000 screaming fans, after the Sydney clash two weeks earlier had finished 1-1.
"It was a fantastic experience. We were gutted with the way we lost 1-0," he said.

film when used in source/drain wirings. In order to avoid these problems, there have been made studies on lamination of a barrier film containing a metal having a barrier property capable of preventing diffusion of copper, etc., to the silicon semiconductor film. As the metal used in the barrier film, titanium (Ti) and molybdenum (Mo) have been studied, and a multilayer thin film using copper in combination with these metals has been proposed.
The multilayer thin film containing copper or a copper alloy containing copper as a main component is formed on a substrate such as a glass substrate by a film-forming process such as sputtering. Then, after masking a resist applied onto the multilayer thin film or the like, the film is subjected to an etching step toElton John To Reveal Previously Unreleased Tracks For RSD

data that transit networks owned by the federal government or operated on its behalf by a carrier such as Verizon, Qwest, and AT&T. Homeland Security could do that if it claims the surveillance would ward off "cybersecurity threats."
Rogers' attack left Jackson Lee, named the "meanest" member of Congress by Washingtonian magazine, a bit surprised and definitely annoyed. (Last December, Jackson Lee interrupted the discussion of the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, to demand an apology after a Republican tweeted that she had been boring him. She also caught flack for saying there was still a north and south Vietnam.)
The amendment would "protect federal systems from cybersecurity threats," Jackson Lee said. "What it does not do is allow Homeland Security and the Justice Department to spy on Americans."
Jacksonresponded by denouncing Rogers' CISPA bill as just as bad.
The "underlying bill" -- that is, CISPA -- "is considered an underlying invasion of privacy," Jackson Lee said.
Probably the most controversial section of CISPA says that "notwithstanding any other provision of law," companies may share information with Homeland Security, the IRS, or the National Security Agency. By including the word "notwithstanding," CISPA's drafters intended to make their legislation trump all existing federal and state laws, including ones dealing with wiretaps, educational records, medical privacy, and more.
At the end of the debate, Jackson Lee withdrew her amendment, but not before accusing the Republicans of engaging in a complete "misrepresentation" of her amendment.

human remains found on the premises of the building where the young men were dissolved.
Prosecutors said the youths were confused with members of a another gang by gunmen from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which has become the most powerful in Mexico, according to U.S. authorities.
Criminal groups in Mexico often kidnap, torture, dismember and even dissolve their victims in acid and many of the remains are dumped in clandestine graves.
In 2014, 43 student teachers disappeared in the southern state of Guerrero and the government said they were kidnapped by police who handed them over to a criminal group that killed them and burned their bodies.
International observers objected to the government’s investigation and the case shook the administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has seen his popularityincorporates students' cognitive and affective well-being, specifically as experienced in the school context. SWB in school in [@B42] model is composed of students' reports on school satisfaction (SS) and affect in school (AS). As part of their SWB, students report on their SS, which is a student's cognitive evaluation of school life in general. In doing so, students evaluate several domains of school life based on their own standards, such as their satisfaction with their academic studies and satisfaction with relationships between students and teachers. Students also report on the positive and negative feelings that they experience during school. Grounded in this model, the Brief Adolescent's Subjective Well-Being in School Scale (BASWBSS) was proposed by [@B46], in which has displayed good psychometric properties in adolescents in China.

In the early 70's Clarence established an amateur radio club station inside Crown International, for employees interested in radio communications and experimentation.

A terrorist strike in the 630-mile-long Malacca Straits would severely dislocate world trade for months. A quarter of the world's commerce passes through this waterway, including 10 million barrels of crude oil heading daily from the Persian Gulf toward China, South Korea and Japan.
About 80 percent of Japan's oil passes through the Malacca Straits. Closure of the Straits in the event of a terrorist attack would require ships to travel an additional 994 miles from the Gulf. Freight rates would increase sharply. In all, the Straits accounts for a third of the world's trade and half of the world's oil supply.
The security situation in the Malacca Straits has always been a matterfrom lack of warships and resources to patrol its vast coastline and the periphery of some 17,000 islands. Of its 117 naval ships, comprising 14 warships, 57 patrol boats and 44 support vessels such as tankers and carriers, only 30 percent are seaworthy.
"With such insufficient maritime power, it is clear that Indonesia simply cannot secure the 600-mile Straits alone, but its fear of any perceived challenge to its sovereignty as well as its concern of American 'imperialism' apparently overrides military logic," said the IAGS.
At the Singapore conference, the US position on the maritime security initiative was a watered-down version of the plan outline by Fargo in March. US officials said it was up to concerned countries - not the United States - to decide how they wanted to

insist that Middle Eastern immigrants and their children must preserve their own culture and religion; comparing assimilation to "fascism" and "rape," Jahjah demands that the cultural and religious traditions of Middle Eastern immigrants and their children be not just preserved but integrated into the culture of the West. "I'd rather die than assimilate," Jahjah has said.
When asked by a Belgian television reporter if terrorism or a revolution were possible in the Lowlands, he offered a curt reply: "With the AEL, it could very well happen."
Jahjah and the AEL burst into the headlines in November 2002, when Moroccan youths (Belgians of Moroccan descent are simply called "Moroccans") looted shops, threw stones, smashed cars and staged a three-day standoff with police after a psychologically disturbed Belgian shot and killed ayoung Muslim teacher on the streets of Antwerp for no apparent reason. Belgian officials blamed Abou Jahjah. Though Jahjah insisted his only part in the event was trying to calm everybody down, police arrested him after the chaos had subsided and thoroughly searched his home. The AEL called this proof of Belgium's ongoing vendetta against their movement; Belgian lawmakers contended that Jahjah posed a danger to the community of Antwerp. Jahjah was released after an Antwerp court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to hold him.
Either way, the arrest propelled his name and the league's cause into the international arena. To some, he was a celebrity radical, an alluring combination of sex symbol and martyr; the Belgian media frequently called him the "black angel of integration."

early 1990s, at the age of 19, Jahjah traveled to the West; he applied for political asylum in Belgium, telling immigration officials that he'd been a member of the militant Shiite group Hezbollah and was seeking to escape its persecution. When authorities began to question his story, he married a Belgian ex-girlfriend, receiving residency as her spouse. The couple divorced shortly after his papers came through. Since then, he has denied he was a member of Hezbollah, saying he made the story up to get asylum.

These critics warn that a militant "Arab pride" movement poses risks that far surpass mere social tension.
The recent report by the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service noted that self-styled mujahedin "purposefully influence members of the Muslim communities in the Netherlands in order to create a polarization in society and to alienate the Muslims from the rest of the population." The effect, according to the report, is to strengthen their recruitment efforts by "appealing to the idea that the rights and interests of 'good' Muslims are being violated time and again." As proof of the potential danger, the report cites the example of two Dutch-Moroccans who were killed in Kashmir while training for jihad.

Who Was Gaius Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar was a political leader and general during the last days of the Roman Republic. Over his long career, he held every possible high civic, military, and even religious position in Rome. He was also a noted orator and writer. (An orator was a public speaker, usually someone who used those skills in political or legal matters.)
Who were Sulla and Marius?
Lucias Cornelius Sulla, and Caesar's uncle-by-marriage, Gaius Marius, who was allied with another leader named Lucius Cornelius Cinna. Several personal events happened in Caesar's life at the same time: his father died, leaving him as head of the family; he nominated himself to bethe High Priest of Jupiter (see the note below); and he was married to Cinna's daughter Cornelia. When Sulla's side gained power in Rome, Caesar (as a "Marian," or sympathizer with Marius) not only lost his position and inheritance, and was pressured to divorce his wife, but had to go into hiding as well. Even when the threat to his life ended, Caesar thought he would be safer away from Rome, so he joined military expeditions in Asia and Cilicia. It has been noted that that Rome was the real beneficiary of Caesar's "career change," since, as the High Priest of Jupiter (a special position that had many restrictions attached to it), he would not have been allowed to participate in the military.

through contempt there is no impediment to hinder the greatness.
Part Three
[Caesar became first a tribune [72 B.C.] and then treasurer, or quaestor [68/67 B.C.], and aedile [65 B.C.]. He lost his wife Cornelia, but then married again.]
At that time there were two factions in Rome, to wit, the faction of Sulla, which was very strong and of great power, and the other of Marius, which then was underfoot and durst not shew itself. [And to this end, whilst he was in the height of his repute with the people for the magnificent shows he gave as aedile, he ordered images of Marius and figures of Victory, with trophies in their hands, to be carried privately in the night and placed in the Capitol.] The next morning when everyman saw the glistering of these golden images excellently well wrought, shewing by the inscriptions that they were the victories which Marius had won upon the Cimbres: everyone marvelled much at the boldness of him that durst set them up there, knowing well enough who it was. Hereupon, it ran straight through all the city, and every man came thither to see them. Then some cried out upon Caesar, and said it was a tyranny which he meant to set up, by renewing of such honours as before had been trodden under foot, and forgotten, by common decree and open proclamation: and that it was no more but a bait to gauge the people's good wills, which he had set out in the stately shews of his common

Thereupon Caesar made Cleopatra [the king's] sister, Queen of Egypt, who being great with child, was shortly brought to bed of a son, whom the Alexandrians named Caesarion.
Part Three
From thence he went into Syria, and so going into Asia, there it was told him that [Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus] was overthrown in battle, by Pharnaces, the son of King Mithridates, and was fled out of the realm of Pontus, with a few men with him; and that this King Pharnaces, greedily following his victory, was not contented with the winning of Bithynia, and Cappadocia, but further would needs attempt to win Lesser Armenia, procuring all those kings, princes, and governors of the provinces thereabouts to rebel against the Romans. Thereupon Caesar went thither straight with three legions, and foughta great battle with King Pharnaces, by the city of Zela, where he slew his army, and drove him out of all the realm of Pontus.
And because he would advertise one of his friends of the suddenness of this victory, he only wrote three words unto Anitius at Rome: "Veni, Vidi, Vici": to wit, "I came, I saw, I overcame [conquered]." These three words ending all with like sound and letters in the Latin, have a certain short grace, more pleasant to the ear, than can be well expressed in any other tongue.
After this, he returned again into Italy, and came to Rome, ending his year for the which he was made dictator the second time, which office before was never granted for one whole year, but unto

Apart from painting and experimenting with gender roles, Frusciante spent the early '90s smoking pot and recording songs on a four-track Tascam in his room. He wasn't planning to do anything further with them. It would take a number of events before they became the material for Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt.
Frusciante said of this period: "Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as athing that's at one with outer space and nothingness."
According to Oswald, Frusciante's inspiration for his taping experiments and decision not to release them was a '70s album by The Residents called Not Available. The idea was to record an album, lock it away, and only publish it when the members of the group had forgotten about it. Frusciante wanted to do the same with his songs: they'd remain in his personal archive forever, or at least until his death.
Oswald sat next to Frusciante for almost all the taping sessions, drawing or just listening to him play. He'd always record late at night, after the sounds from the street had quieted and any friends staying with them had gone to bed.
The words came out of dreams, visions, and the

demonstrations labeled "Friday of 'Russia is killing our children'" — a denunciation of Russia's veto of a U.N. attempt to condemn Syria's crackdown.
Regime forces opened fire on the Aleppo protesters, killing at least seven, according to the Observatory. Another activist group, the Local Coordination Committees put the Aleppo toll at 12 and said 22 others had been killed nationwide. The figures could not be independently confirmed due to restrictions the Syrian government has put on journalists.
Assad's crackdown has killed well over 5,400 people since the uprising began in March, according to U.N. estimates.
The regime's crackdown on dissent has left it almost completely isolated internationally — except for key support from Russia and China, which delivered a double veto to block a U.N. resolution calling on Assad to leavepower.
The king of Saudi Arabia, which has led Arab efforts against Assad, made his first public comments on Syria's crisis Friday. He denounced the Russian and Chinese vetoes, saying "the confidence of the world in the U.N. has undoubtedly been shaken."
"These countries don't rule the world, never. The world is ruled by wisdom, fairness, morals, and standing up to the aggressor," King Abdullah said in a televised speech. "We are living scary, scary days."
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov signaled Friday that Moscow would use its veto again to block any resolution aimed at ousting Assad.
"If our foreign partners don't understand that, we will have to use strong means again and again to call them back to reality," he was quoted as saying by the ITAR-Tass news agency.

is the example of raging success, said Terry Steinborn, environmental enforcement officer. Only three tickets for smoking in a restaurant or bar were issued in Boulder in 2001. "We spend very little time on enforcement (of the smoke-free ordinance) anymore," Steinborn said. Even complaints have gone. There were 14 complaints in 2001, versus 28 in 2000 and 85 in 1999. Last year, officers cracked down on several local bars where "smokers knew they could light up and no one would say anything," Steinborn said. With regular patrol of the bars, Steinborn said, the problem is getting better, and no-smoking rules are now just part of the social structure in Boulder. The Sink, a bar and restaurant on University Hill, now has a patio where people can go tolight up, said Tim Karns, general manager. "We will tell patrons (who are smoking) to go outside," Karns said. Another Boulder bar, the Sundown Saloon, built a separate smoking room with its own ventilation system in 1999, said manager Kevin Kauper. He said a large percentage of Sundown's clientele are smokers.
In Superior, much like Boulder, few tickets are issued to smokers, and there aren't a lot of complaints registered, said Sgt. Pat Haugse of the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. Superior voters passed a ban on smoking on restaurant patios by a substantial margin in November 2000. That ban came after two earlier amendments to the smoking ordinance, requiring restaurants to physically separate smoking and nonsmoking areas and providing separate ventilation systems for each area.

been involved in negotiations began quietly meeting with musicians’ representatives. Board member Doug Kelley said these informal discussions eventually led to formal talks that "felt like traditional labor negotiations."
The settlement will bring music back to Orchestra Hall in early February (2014). It calls for initial salary cuts of 15 percent. The players will also have to pay more of their medical insurance costs, but this will be partly offset by small raises in the next 2 years.
Both sides compromised in other ways.
The musicians agreed to changes in their work rules, but they earned the right to a greater say in artistic decisions. Some musicians, troubled by a growing trend toward more popular music concerts, got management to agree to 20 weeks’ worth of classical performances per season.

Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, no stranger to authoring books, is releasing a new memoir on February 24 via Dey Street Books called Girl In A Band, presumably named for the ill-advised question female musicians are often asked in interviews that Kim sarcastically sang about on "Sacred Trickster" ("What's it like to be a girl in a band? I don't quite understand!"). She's now announced a book tour in support of it, which has her being interviewed by different people at each stop.
The tour begins around release day, with two NYC appearances. First, she'll be at Brooklyn's Greenlight Books/BAM Cinematek on February 23 with Margaret Bodde(executive producer of a 2011 George Harrison documentary), and then at The Strand on February 24 with novelist/Vanity Fair contributing editor

"We have seen a growth for foreign investment — about 50 percent comparing the first quarter this year to the same period last year. Also, the (FDI) inflows we have seen about 40 percent," Al-Omar told CNBC's Hadley Gamble as she hosted a session on the Saudi Arabian FDI landscape at the Gateway Gulf investment forum in Bahrain.

"Only a few columns in Lahja's chamber collapsed," Kaisa says. "Janeka was on the balcony clearing the tea when the ground began to shake. She caught the worse of it."
"Stay with Lahja and do not leave her side," I instruct. "You know your priority."
She nods solemnly, and when I catch her eye, the flames there tell me she will protect the Saadella with her life.
With my princess as safe as our current predicament allows, I turn back to Oskar. He still sits on the floor of the grand chamber, his long legs stretched over the gold infinity symbol of the Valtia, his right hand still tucked into his tunic.

Contrary to letter writer Robert Sharpe's view, the war on drugs is more than war on people who smoke marijuana ("American's misguided war against marijuana," Jan. 1). It is a civil war on the fundamental rights to property, liberty and privacy that are secured by the 4th, 5th and 14th amendments to the Constitution.
Responsible users of marijuana pose no threat to public safety, unlike those who abuse alcohol. The biggest threat to public safety comes from organized crime, gangs and the continued criminalization of marijuana.
Michael Dee, Windham, MaineOn this day in 1981, 52 Americans captives were freed from the U.S. embassy in Tehran, ending the 444-day Iran Hostage Crisis that was triggered after a group of radical Iranian students stormed the embassy.
The momentous event happened shortly after Ronald Regan was inaugurated as the 40th president of the United States.
The crisis began on Nov. 4, 1979, when the students seized the U.S. embassy to protest President Jimmy Carter’s decision to allow the deposed Shah of Iran into the U.S. for medical treatment.
The Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran’s supreme religious leader, took hold of the situation, spurning international appeals to release the hostages.
Two weeks into the hostage crisis, the ayatollah allowed non-U.S. captives and all female and minority Americans to be released on the grounds that they were oppressed

WCBS (AM)
WCBS (880 AM, "WCBS Newsradio 880") is a radio station licensed to New York City and is owned and operated by Entercom. WCBS's studios are located in the combined Entercom facility in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan and its transmitter is located on High Island in the Bronx. Its 50,000 watt clear channel signal can be heard at night throughout much of eastern North America.
WCBS broadcasts in the HD format.
History
Before the news
The station's history traces back to 1924, when Alfred H. Grebe started WAHG at 920 AM. WAHG was a pioneering station in New York, and was one of the first commercial radio stations to broadcast from remote locations including horse races and yachting events. Two years later, in 1926, Alfred Grebe changed the station'smeantime becoming a popular radio personality in his native Texas, and later, a national television personality as a regular in the cast of the country music/humor variety show Hee Haw.
WCBS fired Faulk because of declining ratings while he waited for the case to come to trial, but Stanley Cloud and Lynne Olson's book The Murrow Boys asserted that WCBS executive Arthur Hull Hayes admitted on the stand the station's overall ratings, not Faulk's specifically, had slipped.
The controversy became the subject of the 1975 CBS television movie Fear on Trial, based in part on Faulk's autobiography of the same name.
Time announcement
Since 1924, WCBS has been known for announcing the time consistently every three minutes. This is because during the early 20th century, not all listeners had reliable time pieces.

after the construction of freeway. First, the I-90 right-of-way cut through Liberty Park, leaving just ruins of its spectacular basalt-rock walkways and staircases on just 2 of the original 28 acres. The man-made lake where children once swam during the hot Spokane summers was buried beneath the new roadway. Businesses where East Central residents once worked and shopped were either demolished for the freeway or slowly wasted away as I-90 funneled customers elsewhere. Worse still, what used to be a unified neighborhood was permanently divided into an area north of the freeway and another south of the freeway. Jerome remembers that "it was like putting a wall across from any family that lived north of the freeway . . . [and those that lived] to the south." Ashas become indispensable as the Dodgers (47-39) have rebuilt their season. The team resided half a game behind Arizona in the National League West on Thursday morning as it prepared for the first leg of the Freeway Series this weekend in Anaheim. Muncy, a 27-year-old signed on a minor league deal last season, has played a sizable role in the revival.
After three more homers during a sweep of the Pirates, Muncy stabilized his foothold in the Dodgers’ lineup. He has replaced injured shortstop Corey Seager as the No. 2 hitter. Manager Dave Roberts has made him the primary second baseman. He leads the team in almost every meaningful offensive category in home runs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Clayton Kershaw referred to him as “Babe Muncy” earlier this

less upright at the plate. He multiplied the natural speed of his hands with the power of his legs. He became more aggressive.
“The changes in my swing are putting me in a better position to use the power that I have,” Muncy said. “I’ve always had the power there. My swing wasn’t built for hitting home runs before. Whereas now I just feel like I get myself into a better position to use it.”
Bellinger ran away with the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2017. He represented the Dodgers in the All-Star Game and took part in the Home Run Derby. It will be a challenge for Muncy to earn similar laurels. He lost his rookie status with Oakland in 2015. He was not listed onAl-'Ulmaniyya
Al-'Ulmaniyya was a Palestinian Arab village in the Safad Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on April 20, 1948, by the Palmach's First Battalion of Operation Yiftach. It was located 14.5 km northeast of Safad.
History
In 1596 it appeared in the Ottoman tax registers, as being in the nahiyah ("subdistrict") of Jira, part of the Liwa ("district") of Safad. It had a population of 8 Households and 2 bachelors; an estimated 55 persons, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, vegetable and fruit garden, orchards, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and water buffaloes; a total of 2,559 Akçe. All of the revenue went to a Waqf.

On September 30, 1995, during the priesthood session of General Conference, President Gordon B. Hinckley announced that plans for a regional temple in Hartford, Connecticut, which would serve the New York and New England areas of the United States, had been replaced with plans for two temples for that region on sites in Boston, Massachusetts, and White Plains, New York—later designated Harrison, New York. "In other words," said Pres. Hinckley, "there will be two [temples] to serve the needs of the people where originally it was planned that one would do."1
On March 8, 1996, the Church purchased a beautifully wooded 24-acre site for the temple at the highly accessible intersection of Interstate 287 and Hutchinson River Parkway.2 The location of the site in Harrison was reflected in aheight limit imposed on the residences of that neighborhood. The request came before the Harrison Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday, September 28, 2000. In a 5-2 vote, the Board denied the Church its variance, though the chairman suggested an alternative solution may be viable. While the Church met the ruling with disappointment, dozens of residents who staunchly opposed the building applauded the decision.5
On March 10, 2001, New York State Supreme Court Justice Peter Leavitt overturned the decision of the Harrison Board of Appeals, ordering a variance to be issued to allow construction of the temple. The Church's victory was short lived, however, as the Board countered by filing its own appeal.6 Despite the pending lawsuit, the Church attended a public meeting with the Harrison Town Board on
