Background Facts and Proceedings.
Jack and Karen Hemesath operated a dairy farm in Winneshiek County, Iowa. They employed their son-in-law, Joseph Baumler, as a farmhand. Baumler twice injured his back while working on the Hemesaths' farm, first in May 1991 when he fell off a motorcycle while rounding up cows, and again in December 1991 when he slipped in a tractor tire rut while helping remove manure from a holding pit.
In July 1992, Baumler sued Hemesaths alleging the motorcycle accident resulted from Hemesaths' negligent failure to maintain safe equipment and failure to warn him of its unsafe condition. Baumler's wife, Natalie, sought damages for loss of consortium. A year later, the district court granted Baumlers leave to amend their petition to allege that Hemesaths were also negligent in failingdanger, the possessor still owes the invitee a duty of care. Id. (citing Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343A, cmt. b). Under these circumstances, the owner must either warn the invitee or make the condition reasonably safe. Id.
The record shows that Hemesaths were aware of the ruts before Baumler's accident. Jack Hemesath's son, Russell, advised Jack of the danger of the ruts and asked him to fill them with gravel. While working around similarly deep ruts the year before, Jack had spread gravel in them to minimize the danger. Testimony at trial also revealed that another of Jack Hemesath's sons, Douglas, had slipped in the ruts prior to Baumler's accident.
It appears from this proof that Hemesaths could have anticipated the dangerousness of the condition and the safety risk

"[t]he United States has agreed ... not to contest acceptance of responsibility for this defendant as long as he continues to truthfully acknowledge his guilt of this offense." When the probation officer recommended against granting Keresztury an offense level reduction for acceptance of responsibility, however, the government added its voice in support of the probation officer's conclusion. This action by the government, argues Keresztury, constituted either a breach of the plea agreement or an exercise by the government of its right to avoid it, pursuant to the terms of ¶ 4.k. of the plea agreement. In either case, Keresztury concludes, the plea agreement, including the waiver of his right to appeal, no longer stands, freeing him to bring this appeal of his sentence.

The government responds by insisting thatthe lodging of a proposal to elect a new President of the Government and the vote itself, unless the National Assembly decides otherwise by a two-thirds majority vote of all deputies, or if the country is at war or in a state of emergency.
Where the President of the Government has been elected on the basis of the fourth paragraph of Article 111, a vote of no confidence is expressed in him if on the proposal of at least ten deputies, the National Assembly elects a new President of the Government by a majority of votes cast.
Article 117 [Vote of confidence]
The President of the Government may require a vote of confidence in the Government. If the Government does not receive the support of a majority vote of all deputies,

if it had been triggered by their own interest, and what their thoughts and feelings after the event were. The underlying purpose was to reveal the children's narratives, without asking questions that might bias the children's story in any way. We wanted to explore both the children's understanding of the events, and the processes by which they had reached this understanding. Hence, we emphasized that there were no right or wrong answers. The interview guide was piloted with four children and adjusted accordingly.
The children were interviewed at their school by the first author. The interviews lasted between 7 and 20 minutes, depending on the children's responses. They were all audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. In addition, the nine teachers were asked to provide background information about their instruction inis complicated. Firstly, it possibly contains two narratives, events at two different places in a specific order: the bombing in Oslo, and then the shootings on the island. Secondly, even in the narratives that contained a clear agent (an "unclear" agent in this context refers to an agent with no particular features, usually referred to as "someone"), the intention behind the two events is difficult to grasp.
Only three of the 25 first-graders had a clear conception of the places where the two events took place, and only one of them could order them temporally. Eight had a clear agent, whom they referred to as the villain, thief, the bad man: a clear narrative function. Distinctions like terrorist, attacker, bomber, killer, or the man's name -- distinctions more in

story: the agent was "sick" and he disagreed with "the people in charge".
The stories
-----------
The school emerged as the pupils' weakest source of information about the terror attacks. Our interviewees reported that they had several talks with their parents in the first days and weeks following the attacks. Later, however, neither parents nor teachers appeared to be the main sources of new information for the pupils' meaning-making about the terror attacks. After the first weeks, these children appeared to have been largely left to themselves and the mass media for their ongoing meaning-making.
Television news appeared to be the children's main source of information. All of the children had watched regular newscasts. Some children also reported getting information from "SuperNytt", a news program especially adapted for children. Other media mentionedfiction compared to the authorized story. This story was composed almost entirely of fictional events: "Something fell down and hit an island. And there were lots of kids there. They had a cabin that was smashed. My big brother rented that cabin. And then this thing came from space. I saw the island on the telly, there were loads of tents there. \[...\] It was a spaceship that touched something and then it just stopped flying and fell down. \[...\] I was a little worried that a spaceship should fall on top of our house as well. \[Boy, 6 years old\]"
In the days after the attacks, TV and newspapers were filled with pictures of the island taken from helicopters, zooming in on the island and the tents, just

act for years.
The collaborative effort between Kiki and Hollywood playwright-director Randy Johnson is an experiment to see if her husband can develop sustained performing chops. His recent video spoof of former Presidential candidate Herman Cain generated more than a million hits on FunnyOrDie.com.
Working a live audience will be a quantum leap for Tyson, who has appeared on stage throughout Europe and Asia for limited meet-and-greet appearances. On a recent afternoon, he stood inside the Hollywood Theater wearing a "My Style is Impetuous'' T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes and glasses. Gray stubble flecked his scarred face.
Tyson worked on his stage presence, timing and inflection, at times struggling. Missing was his wingman, the piano player, plus other enhancements, including music and video.

"This is a total reinvention of Mike Tyson — he is a born entertainer,'' says Johnson, who has created, produced or written shows involving subjects from Elvis and Janis Joplin to Pope Benedict XVI's 2008 appearance in New York. "You cannot have gone through what he has been through and not emerged with a sense of humor and humanity. I don't think the public 'gets' Mike Tyson. At the end of each evening, they will know the (real) Mike Tyson. He is pure theater.''

America, even if he sometimes leaves us cringing.
Sensing his seemingly indestructible shelf life after The Hangover— a role he says he did to supply an illegal drug habit — Tyson borrowed a concept after attending Chazz Palminteri's stage version of A Bronx Tale at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in 2010. The veteran actor regaled audiences with stories of a thorny childhood in New York and the unforgettable characters he encountered.
"It was inspiring,'' Tyson says. "I thought, 'I could do that.' ''
To ease opening-night jitters, Tyson plans to be himself: amusing, vulgar, in-your-face honest. He will salute, and skewer, people who have impacted his turbulent life the most. Among them:
•His mother, Southern-born Lorna Mae Tyson, and Curly Kirkpatrick, a small-time New York pimp-gambler who Lorna Mae told herson was his biological father. At 38, Tyson discovered, to his dismay, that his birth certificate listed Jamaican-born Purcell Tyson.
"I desperately wanted to be the son of a pimp because that was a big status (symbol) in my neighborhood,'' Tyson says. "Curly was a fast-talkin' and cool-dressin' (dude) who changed the path of my mother's life. Before long, she was caught up in the street life. She drank to kill the pain. My mother was an addict; that's why I have this addictive personality. When I drank, I drank like she did. I got caught in the gunfire . . . collateral damage.''
•Actress Robin Givens is another target. Their stormy, tabloid-sensation marriage ended in 1989 after one year but Tyson reveals the breakup did not end the relationship.

make him a target for other inmates.
There are 25 prisons for men in Pennsylvania that Sandusky could be sent to, none of which have a special housing unit or facility for sex offenders, the department said.
The sentence was handed down by Judge John Cleland after tearful testimony from both Sandusky and his victims.
Sandusky's victims recounted the horror inflicted on them by the former Penn State football defensive coordinator, including one victim's mother who said her son had twice attempted suicide because of the abuse.
Sandusky also spoke at the sentencing, denying that he ever engaged in "disgusting acts" and remembering instead fun water balloon fights and throwing kids in the air in pools.
"Jerry Sandusky lured me into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and then forcibly hadme touch him," said the man identified as Victim 5. "I am troubled with flashbacks of his naked body. I continue to be haunted by the incident. (I have) anxiety, PTSD, nightmares, and embarrassment and guilt."
"For four years, I believed you were helping my son but instead you were molesting him. He was losing weight, couldn't sleep. I blame myself and still do," the mother of Victim 9 wrote in a statement. "I have had to endure two attempts from my son on his own life, all because of you and what you did to my son."
The statements came shortly ahead of Sandusky's own tearful statement to the court, in which he described his time in jail, staring at cement walls, imagining the fun times he spent with

A federal appeals court ruled today that Gardendale can't form its own school system and agreed with a judge's finding that racial motives were involved in the attempt to split from the Jefferson County system.
It's a ruling Gardendale plans to appeal.
The three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that U.S. District Court Judge Madeline Haikala rescind the part of her order from last year that allowed Gardendale to secede over a three-year period from Jefferson County schools and form its own system.
Circuit Judge William Pryor, a former Alabama Attorney General, wrote the opinion.
"The district court (Haikala) found that the Gardendale Board acted with a discriminatory purpose to exclude black children from the proposed school system and, alternatively, that the secession of the Gardendale Board wouldstood on the front steps of the Hugo Black United States Courthouse in Birmingham, and read from a written statement late Tuesday afternoon.
"The Gardendale Board of Education is deeply grieved and disappointed by the opinion of the three-judge panel refusing to allow us to operate our own city schools in Gardendale," Hogue said. "We believe our actions have always reflected only our desire to form a new, welcoming, and inclusive school system to help schoolchildren and parents succeed, and we will continue to fight to achieve this by seeking further review in the federal courts."
Hogue said they believe the three-judge panel misunderstood the evidence that was offered to the district court and has misapplied the law. "A decision that blames Gardendale for the comments of private citizens on

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld the effort to desegregate an Alabama school district, prohibiting the city of Gardendale, AL from creating a separate, segregated, district designed to reduce the number of Black children its schools. OPINION: https://t.co/j4rFLXDViM pic.twitter.com/nFqTl74GY0 — Legal Defense Fund (@NAACP_LDF) February 13, 2018
Gardendale also had appealed to the 11th Circuit over Haikala's partial ruling and finding of racial motives. The city also disagreed that it shouldn't have to reimburse the county for taking over Gardendale High School, which was one of the contingencies in her ruling.
Gardendale residents voted for a school tax to fund a school system in 2013, and formed a school board and hired a superintendent in 2014. But it has had no students, teachersor schools.
"The city is bigger than a school system. We will move forward," Hogeland said.
Hogeland said he will be meeting with the school board, the school board attorney and city attorney to determine how to move forward. He said there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, one of them is what will be done with the tax money if the school system doesn't move forward.
The Jefferson County School System had argued that Gardendale's secession would affect its ability to achieve unitary status by taking away the schools it had built in that city. Students who didn't live in the city would have had to be reassigned to other county schools, disrupting the racial balance of its system.

CTE is now reported in ex-players of other contact sports, including ice hockey, soccer, rugby union, and most recently in Australian rugby league \[[@CR2]\]. To date, repetitive head injury remains the only known risk factor for the development of CTE \[[@CR3]\].

ARF is the most popular contact sport in Australia, with a player base of more than 1.5 million, and a significant (30%) female representation. ARF is characterized by its fast-paced physicality: it involves running at speed, frequent jumping, and high-impact landing. With 18 players per side high-force collisions are commonplace, and can occur in any direction, on the ground or in the air. Thus unsurprisingly, ARF has a high injury and concussion rate \[[@CR7]\], and the unique nature of the game places players at risk of head injury from multiple and complex mechanisms, distinct from those of the rugby codes.

In a typical PEM fuel cell, hydrogen fuel is introduced into the anode portion, where the hydrogen reacts and separates into protons and electrons. The electrolyte membrane transports the protons to the cathode portion, but prevents the passage of electrons. This allows a current of electrons to flow through an external circuit to the cathode portion to provide power. Oxygen is introduced into the cathode portion and reacts with the protons and electrons to form water and heat.

In the year 10 A.H. (631 CE), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) received a delegation of sixty Christians from Najran in Medinah. The territory of Najran was located south of Bani Khath'am near Yemen, about 450 miles south of Medinah. They were received in the Prophet's mosque, and the Prophet allowed them to pray in the mosque, which they did facing East. This group of Christians followed Byzantine rite.
They discussed with the Prophet the points of doctrine including the nature of God, and he replied them by reciting Surah Ikhlas (112) of the Qur'an. It begins with the word 'Qul' meaning 'Say'. The translation of the meaning of the Surah is: 'Say: He is Allah, the One!Allah, the eternally Besought of all! He begetteth not nor was begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him'. Further discussion on the nature of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) led to some disagreements, on which he recited them the three Ayats of the Qur'an from Surah Ale-'Imran (3:59-61). After three days, the Christian delegation decided to conclude its mission.
In spite of doctrinal disagreements, the Prophet concluded a treaty with the people of Najran. The Prophet dictated the terms of the treaty to Abdullah b. Abu Bakr, who served as one of his scribes, and it was witnessed by five companions whose names are: Abu Sufyan b. Harb, Ghilan b. Amr, Malik b. Auf, Aqra' b. Habis, and Mughira b. Shu'ba. The treaty provided religious and administrative autonomy for non-Muslim

was accepted by the Prophet as 'one of the Prophet's household.' It was on his advice a trench was dug around Medina. The trench (in the 'Battle of Ahzab,' also known as the 'Battle of Trench') took the Meccan army by surprise and they and their confederates (Arabs and Jews) could not accomplish the plan of wiping out Islam and Muslims of Medina.
Prophet Muhammad's Letters To Kings (628 CE)The Prophet (pbuh) and his followers were busy digging the trench in preparation for the defense of their city, Medina, from the attack of more than ten thousand strong Meccan army that was only a few days away. The event that was to follow is known as the 'Battle of Trench' (627 CE). It was during this digging that Umar(ra) needed help to dislodge a rock. The Prophet gave the rock a blow with a pickaxe at which a flare as of lightning flashed back over the city and toward the south. In an attempt to loosen it, he gave it another blow and again there was a flash but in the direction of Uhud mountain and beyond it toward the north. A third blow split the rock into fragments, and this time the light flashed eastwards. Salman Farsi, the Persian, (ra) saw the three flashes, and convinced that they must have some significance asked the Prophet for an interpretation. The Prophet answered:

Rob departed in November 2014 and returned later in December 2015 whilst he was in prison for murdering Tina.
In May 2012, it was reported that Carla would depart with her boyfriend Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) in 2012, for four months. Speaking of her departure King said: "It's three years since I had a baby and I've been working for all of that time so I haven't been able to spend too much time with my family. I plan to have a nicenave that was built in the 13th century. The present chancel is a late 16th-century Tudor addition. The church has a king post roof. The vestry on the north side of the church and the bell-turret on the nave gable were added in the 19th century. All Saints' is a chapelry of the parish of St Denys, Stanford in the Vale. All Saints' building is Grade II* listed.

An open platform for all Aotearoa New Zealand designers to have a voice and be heard
An open platform for Aotearoa New Zealand designers to have a voice
Nau mai, haere mai, ki te whānau … welcome to Designers Speak (Up), an open and democratic platform for all designers in Aotearoa New Zealand to have a voice and be heard in a common space.
The decision to launch a blog has come out of a unanimously supportive social media response to three posters (Power in the Poster: 43 Black Pins, 40 men, 3 women). The posters gathered the attention of the design community to the Designers Institute of New Zealand’s failure over two decades to address a significant gender imbalance. The objective of the posters is to encourage meaningful change, notto kill Arvind Kejriwal.
During the Lok Sabha polls, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said in an interview to a Punjabi channel that the BJP wanted to get him killed by his own Personal Security Officer (PSO) in the manner in which Indira Gandhi was killed.
Countering the charge, Vijender Gupta had tweeted, "Before the slapgate on May 4 @ArvindKejriwal asked the liaison officer to lift the security cover around his vehicle. The chief minister's instruction is registered in the roznamcha (police diary). The AAP could not receive electoral gain out of it because I exposed this, so out of frustration Kejriwal is saying that his PSO reports to the BJP."
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia shot back and accused Vijender Gupta of being a part of the conspiracy to

the only publication distributed in the United States that combines the North American passenger flight schedules of all scheduled domestic air carriers. It is the "primary market tool of . . . virtually every (air) carrier . . . in the United States," and is the standard reference for airline ticket offices, travel agents, businesses, and the public generally, although it has apparently been displaced to some extent by computerized scheduling.

At the time the Commission's complaint was issued in this proceeding, the (OAG) contained four categories of flight schedules: (1) direct flights of certificated carriers, that is, flights which do not involve a change of aircraft between two cities; (2) connecting flights of certificated carriers, that is, flights involving the use of one direct flight in conjunctionHartford, which may not serve Rutland by direct flights of certificated carriers, even though these cities may be more convenient to the Los Angeles traveler than a flight through Boston. "Constructing a connection" obviously requires looking for direct flights serving points intermediate to the two cities between which the traveler is flying. Because constructing a connection is difficult and time-consuming, it is important to have connecting flights listed in the OAG. Certificated carriers paid Donnelley in 1975 alone hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to have their flights listed.

As a result of OAG's failure to list the connecting flight schedules of commuter airlines, the Commission found that the latter were handicapped in competing with certificated carriers in markets that were served by both, which included

About Us
About Kristie
She was born and raised in
Massachusetts and at 18, she made a pilgrimage to Utah in
search of adventure, school, good friends, and (let's be honest) a
husband. With this mission a success, she plans on staying in Utah for a while. Kristie loves rainy days, writing, crazy dancing with her husband in the kitchen, and reading out loud.
About Karl
He is a Utah and Oregon native (but mostly Utah). He served an LDS mission in Mexico City and has since been searching for his soul mate. Now that he has found her, he knows they will be together for eternity. Karl loves his job as a machinist/foreman, processed meats,snowboarding, making juice, making out, and driving up scary hills.
About the Kitties
Kitten (right) is about a year and a halfold and is part Tortoise Shell Siamese. She likes to jump on Karl and Kristie's shoulders (what they fondly refer to as "Parrot Cat"), sleep on their sides while they are in bed, attack the mouse on the TV screen when they hook the computer up to the TV, and participate in wild fits of laying around.
Ponce (left) is about 6 months old and the newest addition to the Bringhurst family. His full name is Ponce de Leon, but just Ponce for short. Ponce has the annoying habit of waking Karl and Kristie up at 5AM. He also enjoys eating until his belly is entirely bloated, farting constantly, and avoiding baths from Kitten.
About Us
We are Karl and Kristie Bringhurst. We love romantic comedies and dancing in the kitchen.

had seen Cold talking to Derenberger by the side of the road. (In time, several locals would have their own encounters with Cold.)
Two days later while driving in his car, Derenberger began to receive telepathic communications from Cold, who described himself as from the “galaxy of Ganymede.” Cold also supplied some information about his life, including the observation that people on his planet (Lanulos) lived to be 125 to 175 of our Earth years.
Over the next weeks, other stories would accumulate that substantiated other parts of Derenberger’s story, including independent UFO sightings on November 4th. An initial investigation concluded that Derenberger was not a fraud or hoaxer, and was mentally and psychologically sound.
Throughout this period, Derenberger’s direct contacts with Indrid Cold continued.

Emigrant communities from highly consanguineous countries such as Turkey, Pakistan and the Maghreb that are now resident in Europe, North America and Australia continue with the tradition of consanguineous marriages \[[@CR4]\].
Consanguineous marriages are favored due to many sociocultural factors: the upholding of family groups and property, the better understanding of marital arrangements, the already established relationships with in-laws, and the monetary assets relating to dowry. Moreover, populations that favor consanguineous marriages believe that marrying within one's family reduces health and financial risks \[[@CR5]\]. In the Middle East, consanguinity is not restricted to just the Muslim communities. Other Middle Eastern religious groups, including the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian Christian communities, also perpetrate the tradition of consanguineous marriage, even though at a lesser rate than their Muslim counterparts and usuallydiscrimination based on genetic features is prohibited in the EU member states. Despite this legislative deficiency at EU level, several national legislations have been approved so far. The first explicit law including genetic testing was enacted in France in 1994 (Loi 94--653 and 94--654, later revised in 2004 and 2011). Soon after, specific legislations have been approved in Norway, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland. In any case, most countries have applicable provisions for genetic testing in the general legal framework governing other medical, laboratory and professional activities in biomedicine, and other legislation, such as in vitro fertilization and PGD, data protection, patient rights, and discrimination.
In Australia the provision of pathology services is regulated by the department of health and aging administration of the funding schemes

The M&H program offers participants the opportunity to familiarize themselves with horse behavior and reflect on experiences with the horses and group members. Each session consists of a pre-brief involving an overview of the day's session, a three-hour horsemanship activity, and a session debrief that focuses on developing insights into self-regulation of emotion, mindfulness, and behavior (both horse and human). The debrief sessions, self-guided by the medical students, also give participants the opportunity to share their experience and incorporate feedback for future sessions.

Standing high on a hill in Sakhari Bagh, Afghanistan, steps leading up to the old resthouse of King Amanullah are visible and remains of a pool and fountain lie to the right. The palace, lavish in the '20s, was reduced to a pile of rubble in the '80s by the Soviet war. The buildings were destroyed and the trees all cut down for firewood. But today, the area is the site of a prosperous future.

Board's examiner should be introduced into evidence and considered by the State Board's examiner in addition to the testimony of the live witnesses. A number of persons testified, all of whom had testified below. The State Board's examiner said:
After having carefully considered all of the evidence at the hearing de novo, including the transcript of the hearing below, I have reached the same findings, conclusions and recommendations as did [the County Board's] Hearing Examiner.... Accordingly, I adopt them as my own and incorporate his entire report herein by reference.
He considered Resetar's contention that the failure of the County Board to issue an opinion within 30 days of the receipt of its hearing examiner's memorandum and opinion as provided by its own rules vitiated its order. He said thatother *551 counties had been given unfavorable comments relative to Resetar. It was pointed out by the County Board that different counsel for Resetar at the State Board hearing had raised the conspiracy issue.
The matter was taken under advisement by the trial judge. In ultimately ruling on the motion he indicated he had examined the entire transcript from the two hearings and read all of the exhibits. He pointed out that of the witnesses Resetar desired to call "twelve ... testified in the County proceeding and eleven of the same twelve testified in the State proceeding. There was ample opportunity afforded [Resetar] in both of those hearings to present testimony; in one of them he did and the other he didn't." The court observed that Resetar had since

216 S.E.2d 554 (W. Va. 1975) (There was a conflict between the starting date of school for teachers and an evening class at West Virginia University which the teacher proposed to attend. He sought unsuccessfully to make contact with his principal and assistant principal. He was suspended "for willful neglect of duty and insubordination." The court held that the teacher's "actions did not support a finding of insubordination and wilful neglect of duty" and that the decision of the superintendent and the board of education "were arbitrary and capricious on the basis of the record before [it].").
58 C.J.S. Misconduct (1948) says of the term used as a noun:
The word is sufficiently comprehensive to include misfeasance as well as malfeasance, and as applied to professional people it includes unprofessionalof the agency. In this instance we find no arbitrary conduct on the part of the administrative agency, the State Board. Accordingly, we find no grounds for reversal.
Judgment affirmed; appellant to pay the costs.
Orth, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part:
No one denied that John Resetar, Jr. was "a competent junior high school science teacher." He taught in the Montgomery County school system for a decade, from March 1965 until he was fired in April 1975 by the Montgomery County School Board (the County Board). His dismissal was for misconduct in office upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools for Montgomery County (the Superintendent). I do not agree that the evidence, in view of the entire record, was legally sufficient to warrant the sanction imposed.

Crimewave
Crimewave is a 1985 American comedy film directed by Sam Raimi, written by him and the Coen brothers, and starring Louise Lasser, Paul L. Smith, Brion James, Sheree J. Wilson, Edward R. Pressman, Bruce Campbell, and Reed Birney, with Campbell also serving as a producer. Following the commercial success of The Evil Dead (1981), Raimi and Campbell decided to collaborate on another project. Joel Coen of the Coen brothers served as one of the editors on The Evil Dead, and worked with Raimi on the screenplay. Production was difficult for several members of the crew, and the production studio, Embassy Pictures, refused to allow Raimi to edit the film. Several arguments broke out during the shoot for the film, because of continued interference by the studio.
An unusual slapstickthe crew were talked into spending three times the allotted money for one shooting location. The shoot quickly went both over budget and over schedule. At that point, the studio stepped in, with executives demanding cuts in the script, budget restrictions, layoffs, and their own supervision of the project. The studio also insisted on reviewing every batch of dailies, criticizing the decision to use cast and crew members (including Campbell) as extras in several scenes (a Raimi trademark known as "Shemping").
Even without Embassy's interference, however, the production was plagued with difficulties. According to Campbell, lead actress Lasser—under the influence of cocaine—fired her make-up artist. She insisted that she apply all her own make-up, despite objections from the cast. She would often show up on set with poorly applied

and the supporting and opposing memoranda, the court GRANTS Defendant Queen's Medical Center's Motion for Summary Judgment.
BACKGROUND
Defendant Dr. John Doe ("Dr.Doe") graduated from the University of California at Davis Medical School in 1977. He began his general surgery residency at UC Davis Sacramento Medical Center in July of 1978. Dr. Doe withdrew from the residency program in June of 1981 because of alcohol and drug related problems.
After withdrawing from the residency program, Dr. Doe entered a 30-day in-patient treatment program at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. In his deposition, Dr. Doe states that he entered the treatment program after receiving two tickets for driving while under the influence of alcohol. Deposition of Dr. Doe, p. 38.
In June of 1984, Dr. Doe was accepted into the orthopedic surgery residencyprogram at the University of Hawaii Burns Medical School. In November of 1984, Dr. Doe entered a 30-day treatment program at Castle Medical Center, after suffering an alcohol relapse. Dr. Doe was terminated from the residency program in December of 1984 as a result of this alcohol relapse. Id. at 147.
On January 7, 1985, Dr. Doe was admitted to the emergency room at Queen's Medical Center. At that time, he was diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis, adult respiratory distress, and renal failure. Id. at 153. After the January 7 incident, Dr. Doe sought help from Alcoholics Anonymous. Dr. Doe asserts that he has been drug free since his arrival in Hawaii in 1984 and alcohol free since his release from the hospital in January of 1985.

feelings of hopelessness, inner tension, outbursts of anger, and rumination with difficulties to fall asleep. Despite having several talks with his ex-girlfriend, he felt he could not understand the reasons why she broke up with him and started a calorie-restricted diet, feeling that taking control of his body shape could help him to boost his self-esteem and hopefully to bring back his ex-girlfriend. When he saw his rheumatologist, who had treated him for more than 10 years, he had lost about 8 kg in a month and his BMI was around 18.4, such that he was referred to the psychiatric team. He was admitted voluntarily to the psychiatric inpatient unit. On admission, Mr. XY appeared very skinny, moderately unkempt, and slow at movement. His eyes moved little, staring witha plane face at the clinician\'s eyes. His speech was slow and circumstantial; answers were given in monosyllables, with a monotone voice. He was strongly worried with his body weight and with food calorie content, completely refusing to eat, such that nasogastric feeding was needed.
Mr. XY was diagnosed as having a partial form of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a separation anxiety disorder, and AN. However, during his hospital stay, a peculiar social functioning was progressively observed. Mr. XY continued to show a staring gaze, approaching people in an awkward way, without showing social awareness, as if he disregarded other people\'s feelings. Even when talking about emotionally charged situations, he used a matter-of-fact tone. Despite stating that he was desperate, he appeared calm, being always complacent towards anyone. When

In 2011, 43-year-old Army veteran Edwin "Trey" Gennette lived just outside Pensacola, Florida, with a pet possum and a talking Ford Mustang. One warm June evening, he began poking around the "Casual Encounters" section of Craigslist, where he found an ad promising a novel erotic situation. "2 sisters seeking a man that handle both [of] us," it said. "We are ready for a hot night, are you?"
He was. But when he e-mailed the address in the ad, Gennette received a quick response from a woman named Amber, making clear that only one of the sisters was 19. "My lil sis is in town visiting me for the summer," wrote Amber. "She is 14, you ok with that?"
"Well I think she is a bit young, lol but depends onGennette hopped into his gray Mustang to make the 30-minute drive. When he arrived, he walked up to the house and knocked. Burly policemen in bulletproof vests burst out of the door, dragged Gennette back inside the house, and forced him to the ground. When he arose, he was in handcuffs—and charged as a sex offender. There had been no Amber and no Erin.
Held on a $300,000 bond, Gennette spent three weeks in jail before he came up with the bond. While there, his name appeared repeatedly in local accounts about the police sting—dubbed Operation Blue Shepherd—that had caught him and 24 others. According to a news account at the time, "An officer said most of the suspects admitted they were coming inside for sex. One said he

Balt. Co. schools: Inexperienced leader and unaccountable board
I want to thank The Sun for its coverage of the appointment of the Baltimore County school superintendent and, almost concurrently, the effort on behalf of the legislators to add elected members to the county's school board ("Baltimore County school board OKs Dance as superintendent," April 11, and "Balto. Co. school board bill fails in final hours of Assembly session," April 10).
As a resident of Baltimore County, I am dismayed, disheartened and, frankly, disgusted, that there did not seem to be more public outcry about these two recent, critical and seemingly connected developments in the future of our public schools.
The closed hiring process conducted by the current school board produced a candidate who is under-qualified for the job of superintendent. S.Dallas Dance lacks the professional credentials explicitly spelled out by state law, necessitating the acquisition of a waiver to circumvent the requirement of three years teaching experience so necessary to a full understanding of the breadth of the very position for which he is now hired.
His lack of longevity in any one position in his job history begs the question: What kind of track record could he possibly have in his two-year job stints to prove his success and ability to lead the 26th largest school district in the country?
And yet the Baltimore County Board of Education, comprising all political appointees, made up their minds without any stakeholder input and hired Mr. Dance.
And almost simultaneously down the road in Annapolis, proposed legislation spearheaded by Sen. Bobby Zirkin to

King, Douglas Young, and James Ventura were selected as members of the arbitration panel [hereinafter "the arbitration panel"] in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Ellsworth asked the panel to determine whether he: (1) had an option to purchase the Pickwick or Mark Twain Hotels, which was frustrated by Tatibouet; (2) was entitled to pursue the option; and (3) was entitled to damages for being prevented from exercising the option, and, if so, in what amount.
Between October 19, 1997 and December 29, 1998, seven interim orders, which included dissents, and a final order were issued. The panel noted, in its first interim order, that Ellsworth failed to prove he was ready, willing, and able to purchase the Pickwick Hotel under the terms of the Settlement Agreement.on a timely basis, he would have been ready, willing, and able to purchase the Pickwick Hotel under the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
However, the arbitrators noted that Ellsworth provided some evidence that he took actions that were indicative of "at least an inchoate intention to exercise the option":
He had contacted at least one investor, Mark Polivka, who had expressed willingness to consider investing up to $900,000 toward acquisition of the hotel. Ellsworth had also traveled to San Francisco during July 1996 to inspect the hotel and to talk to management personnel there. No panel member is prepared, on the basis of these proofs, to determine that Ellsworth could and would have acquired the Pickwick had he been given the October 1, 1995 appraisal in timely fashion.

Image caption The new measures schools will be required to introduce are aimed at protecting children from harm online
Schools in England must set online filters and monitor pupils' internet use under plans to protect them from radicalisation, education secretary Nicky Morgan said.
Ministers are concerned young people could be targeted by extremists, possibly via school computers.
Mrs Morgan said some pupils had been able to access information about so-called Islamic State at school.
Teaching unions said schools would welcome greater clarity on the plans.
The reforms, which have been published for consultation, follow several cases where school children either travelled, or attempted to travel, to Syria.
In February, Bethnal Green Academy schoolgirls Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, both 15 at the time, and Kadiza Sultana, then 16, flew from London to Istanbul enand pornography, the Department for Education (DfE) said.
Many schools already have systems in place to filter and monitor pupils' online activity, but the new guidelines are designed to strengthen requirements to keep children safe and spot concerns quickly.
'Greater clarity'
The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said schools are "doing many of these things anyway", but they would welcome "greater clarity" on how to deploy appropriate filters and monitoring systems.
"We hope school leaders will be supported in delivering [the plans]: making PSHE [personal, social, health and economic education] compulsory could free up the appropriate time within the school day to address this important issue," said Sally Bates, a head teacher and the NAHT's chair of policy.
She told the BBC schools may have to "rethink" the way they deal with

There are many places in the American south that are accepting of Judaism, and not even in that weird eschatological/red cows sort of way. Those places are not in pit row at a NASCAR event. Just ask Jon Denning, NASCAR's token Jewish driver. Believe it or not, some people tried to convert Denning to Christianity. Some claiming that he'd maybe do even better as a Christian. But it wasn't just other drivers and fans, it was even people on his own crew who would "curse Jews and put down minorities." Denning was in the Whelen American series, which is the entry-level racing series sanctioned by NASCAR.
Despite starting 15 races with three top five finishes and seven top 10 finishes, Denning was unable to get sponsorship to continue racing.INTRODUCTION

If you didn't already know what Nissan's words meant, you'd likely have no idea what the company was saying in a statement it released yesterday.
So we'll translate.
"Nissan North America, a company with its headquarters (and two factories) in the state of Tennessee, opposes a pair of recent bills in the state legislature that overturn Nashville's law prohibiting companies that do business with the city from discriminating against gay, lesbian, and transgender Tennesseans who work for them."
That's not, of course, what Nissan said. In its entirety, the statement reads:
BACKGROUND: Recently a number of special interest groups in Tennessee and abroad have voiced opposition to HB600/SB632, the "Equal Access to Intrastate Commerce Act," which is awaiting Governor Haslam’s signature to be signed into law. Nissan is clarifying its position onmeasure by more than a two-thirds margin last Wednesday.
Yesterday, Governor Bill Haslam (R) signed the bill.
Under current Tennessee state law, it is illegal to discriminate on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, or age. That law does not include protection on the basis of either sexual orientation or gender expression.
Nissan's involvement comes not only because it has $3.5 billion of investment in the state, but because it is on the executive committee of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, which had issued a statement supporting the bill.
Members include both large global companies (Alcoa, AT&T, Caterpillar, Comcast, DuPont, Embraer, FedEx, Pfizer, United HealthCare, and Whirlpool), and hundreds of smaller local companies.
The Chamber said its concern was that any employment requirements that differed from state law would

Nissan's culture, said the company's vice president for corporate communications, David Reuter .
"And it's not only a policy," he said, "it's the way we operate,"
Over the last week, Nissan received increasing levels of feedback (for which read "e-mails and phone calls") that indicated many people believe Nissan supported the goal of the bill that was passed last week.
That, he said, was what led the company to issue its statement. The bill's passage "has not changed how we operate," and won't, Reuter said.
As for politics around such legislation in Tennessee in the future, Reuter declined comment.
Which is probably wise, because bills targeting the lesbian and gay community seem popular in Tennessee at the moment.

On July 25, 2006, Plaintiff also entered into a contract to sell her home to Defendant
for $52,000, the approximate amount remaining on the mortgage. Defendant paid the
mortgage in October 2006, and then spent the next several months removing trash, cleaning
and repairing the house, which was uninhabitable. He also removed Plaintiff’s personal
property and stored her property in a shed. Defendant spent $68,885.00 on the renovations.
Following her release from jail, Plaintiff’s relationship with Defendant soured. On
September 10, 2009, she filed this action, pro se, alleging misuse of the power of attorney,
theft of real estate, and theft of several items of personal property, including her automobile.
She sought $300,000 in damages. In his answer,

said Riley. "[Bush's] 2000 campaign practically made a virtue out of the fact he was uninterested in the written word."
As for Obama, "It's not just the words," said Riley, "but the person saying the words, with his youthful vigor and enthusiasm and his ability to impart that to the crowds."
Still, Riley struggles to understand how Obama has catapulted himself to the national stage.
In 2004, when Obama gave the convention speech, Riley was overseas and missed what he called the candidate's "coming out party."
"It's been difficult for me to grasp how he managed to do what he has done," said Riley. "But the power of his rhetoric has largely captured people's attentions -- that's not an uncommon occurrence in politics, going back to the Greeks."

This isn’t the first time President Trump has crashed a wedding on one of his properties. Last June, Kristen Piatkowski and Tucker Gladhill were several hours into their wedding reception when Secret Service agents started filing into the room, followed soon after by President Trump. The president greeted and posed for pictures with the happy couple, shook hands with guests, and even signed a few MAGA hats.

During 2011, Parliament sat for a total of 73
days. In Lok Sabha, 18% of the Bills were passed in less than 5 minutes in
2011. In total, 81 Bills were introduced in Lok Sabha and 51 in Rajya Sabha.
During the year, only four Bills were discussed in Lok Sabha and three in Rajya
Sabha.” (From the Website of Parliamentary Research Service (PRS))
In this context, the protocol for a Pre
Legislative Process, clearly delineating the responsibility of the Executive to
pro-actively disclose draft Bills and Rules in the public domain, and
systemically ensure greater transparency and accountability in the guarded
process of decision making, is a step in the right direction. Recognizing this,
the National Campaign for Peoples’ Right to Information (NCPRI) set itself the
task to begin the examination of thematter. The NCPRI organized a series of
public consultations to support the need for greater transparency and
accountability in decision making, along with discussing the modalities which
can be worked. In addition, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT),
Ministry of Personnel and Training, Government of India constituted a task
force to make recommendations for developing enforceable guidelines for the implementation
of Section 4 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 which mandates the
pro-active disclosure of Public Authorities in their processes of decision
making. The Oxford Pro Bono Publico of the University of Oxford assisted the NCPRI,
which was one of the members of the Task Force, by researching on the nature of
transparent and participatory pre-legislative processes currently existing in
eight different countries of the world thereby demonstrated the implementation
of the idea in reality. The proposal included

Although Saunders followed up on this request, no report was ever
provided.
In fact, when Saunders assumed his role as President, he
was never given any documentation of the Union's prior business,
including meeting minutes. And when Saunders asked Shea, who had
- 4 -
been serving as the Union's treasurer since 2003, where the money
in the Union's accounthad gone, he was told that the account
"never had any money in there," and "that's the way it's always
been."
However, in December 2013, Saunders discovered a bag of
documents in the locker of a retired officer, John Coggins.1 The
bank statements within the bag led Saunders to believe that the
Union had once held over $130,000 in its own, and related, bank
accounts. Saunders immediately reported this discovery to Shea,
who denied the existence of the additional accounts. That same
day, Saunders called the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office
("AG") to report the documents that he had found.

interview panel ranked Lepro first, but concluded that both
officers would make "good candidates for sergeant" and that "[the
panel members] would promote both if it was their decision."
Although a second sergeant position had opened up in the interim,
Billings only recommended Lepro for the promotion. With regards
to Saunders, the relevant portion of Billings's letter to the Board
stated:
I concur with [the panel's] assessment and my
own observations of both candidates convince
to you all the of the pertinent
background information and interview results.
On November 18, 2014, the Town Board of Selectman voted
to adopt Billings's recommendation to promote Lepro, but did not
promote Saunders to the second vacant position. When Billings
called Saunders into his office to discuss the decision, he
attributed it to Saunders's actions to date, stating, "[Y]ou can't
fight Town Hall," and "Town Hall has my back."
One month later, Saunders filed an appeal with the Civil
Service Commission. He continued to serve as sergeant in a
provisional capacity because the second sergeant position remained
vacant. However,

Cyprus could be repeated in larger European countries. Early Monday, Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the bailout could serve as a template for dealing with future problems with the region's banks, according to some media reports.

Cyprus banks still were closed Monday. Stocks sold off globally as investors digested an aid package for the distressed euro-zone country.

In the Markets
Later, though, Mr. Dijsselbloem backed away from these comments. "Cyprus is a specific case with exceptional challenges," he said in an official statement distributed on Twitter. "Macroeconomic adjustment programs are tailor-made to the situation of the country concerned and no models or templates are used."
U.S. stocks pared losses after the statement was released. At one point, the Dow was down as much as 117 points on the day.
Investors were focused onwhether the Cyprus bailout might serve as a blueprint for future aid packages. The deal provides 10 billion euros ($13 billion) in financing for Cyprus, and imposes losses on bank deposits of more than EUR100,000 in the country's largest banks.
"Bank deposits are now a legitimate target--it just seems like anything that was positive quickly turned into more questions, more doubts,' said Colin Devlin, a director and equity trader at Knight Capital.KCG-5.60%
As well, holders of the banks' senior bonds, which many investors have assumed would be safe from losses, may also lose money. While those losses are relatively small – Cypriot banks have only about 200 million euros in senior bonds outstanding- investors worry that such a scenario could be repeated should Italy or Spain run into trouble.

portions. When it came time to create the fight sequences, Natsume-san made sure to call upon a lot of action animation specialists to not only showcase the intensity, but to also evoke emotions.
In order to accurately animate the movement of muscles, the staff filled the studio with reference books and figures. The downside is that it made walking through the studio awkward, when the whole area consisted of photos of flexing men wearing very little clothing. They received a few strange looks, and some people questioned what they were REALLY working on.
An interesting thing to keep in mind is that the United States actually helped greenlight the series. Back when Natsume-san visited the states for a Space Dandy panel, the experience and turnout solidified the kind of receptionof sensitive scientific researches, regulations were also adopted in an order published in April 2012 concerning the biology and health field. The aim was to define the legal framework that precise the conditions for authorizing microorganisms and toxins experimentation in France; these regulations apply for any operation of production, manufacturing, transportation, import, export, possession, supply, transfer, acquisition and use of highly pathogenic microorganisms and toxins, referred to as "MOT" (for "MicroOrganismes et Toxines hautement pathogènes") by the French law. Finally, laboratories conducting researches on such infectious pathogens are henceforth classified restricted area or ZRR (for "Zone à Régime Restrictif"), according an order of July 2012. In terms of economic protection, biosafety and biosecurity, these regulations represent an undeniable progress as compared to the previous condition. However, the competitiveness

For folks driving down Dryades Street in Central City, there's a colorful tree that's catching people's eyes.Mardi Gras beads hang from the branches, stuffed animals peek through the leaves and other signs of life illuminate a seemingly ordinary Crepe Myrtle.However, nestled below all the decor, stands the true meaning behind its beautification, honoring the life lost at this very spot.
On Sept. 6, 2014, Shaffee Dawson had just wrapped up a dice game with friends, and was on his way to his mother's home when the unthinkable happened.
A masked man tracked him down near the corner of Draydes and Seventh streets and gunned him down in front of his mother's home.
"Basically a masked person came up and shot him multiple times with a high-powered weapon and fled the area,"said Detective Debra Normand with the New Orleans Police Department Cold Case Division.
Officers were able to track down the AK-74 used in the crime, but could not track down the gunman.
As soon as she received the call about Dawson's death, his aunt, Mary Spears, made the long trip from Ponchatoula to New Orleans.She had raised Dawson as a child on the Northshore and had warned him about the dangers lurking in the Crescent City.
"I always told him, 'New Orleans is not for you son, stay in the country.' I said 'I had a strong vision that you were going to get hurt down there.' And he did," Spears said.

Hawaii official who has responsibility over him, by naming the last known such official, Eric Penarosa.
According to the advisory committee note to the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the District Courts, Rule 2, the proper respondent to be served in the usual case may be "either the warden of the institution in which the petitioner is incarcerated or the chief officer in charge of state penal institutions." Rule 2(a), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254, advisory committee note; see also Ortiz-Sandoval v. Gomez, 81 F.3d 891, 894-896 (9th Cir.1996) (California Director of Corrections may be proper respondent if he has the "power to produce a prisoner"). In Ortiz-Sandoval, the Ninth Circuit discussed the inherent problems resulting from prison transfers, and determined that naming the California Director of Correctionsinhibited. With this proposal, however, the wrong telephoning assumed in the first communication operation always connects to the second calling to the same addressee even when time runs, at the time of execution of the first communication operation, within the midnight discount time zone and so the wrong telephoning is conclusive, thereby unreasonably maximizing trouble given to the addressee.

The Morning Risk Report: U.K. AML Changes Spark Skepticism, Hope
The launch of a new U.K. anti-money laundering agency, and a draft set of new rules, set off a debate on how, and whether the changes will work. Activists, lawyers and experts all discussed the effects of the changes.
The introduction of the new office "must be cautiously welcomed," said Matthew Banham, a London-bsed senior associate at the law firm Dechert. The new watchdog and the rules, should they be finalized in current form, would bring "consistency...and provide much-needed certainty" to businesses that operate amid a "web" of anti-money-laundering regulations, he said. As such, Claire Cross, an attorney at the firm Corker Binning, said the question of "who guards the guards" has been answered by the introduction of the newFILE - In this Nov. 30 2018, file photo, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach answers questions from reporters in Topeka, Kan.

The article's pretty great; this kind of calculation room was probably a part of every Mayan city, but it's the first to be found well-preserved enough to examine. This particular city, named Xultún, was "discovered" about a hundred years ago, north of Tikal and south of San Bartolo, two other Mayan cities. The calendar-type charts on the wall of the cave emphasize the Mayan concept of cyclical time, and counts some 7,000 years in the future, which pretty much debunks the 2012 myth (which is itself based on a calendar that shows the year "starting over" in 2012).career for the full length of her working life.

United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS" or "agency") issued regulations implementing the 1988 Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments ("CLIA" or "Act"), which expands and strengthens federal regulation of laboratories that perform clinical tests on specimens from the human body. The specific regulations at issue here pertain to two key components of CLIA: first, a regime for classifying laboratory tests and developing uniform national personnel standards applicable to each of these test categories, and second, a proficiency testing program designed to ensure adequate performance by cytologists1 working in clinical labs. Consumer Federation and Public Citizen, two national organizations concerned with consumer and health advocacy, challenged the HHS regulations as contrary to the dictates of CLIA.

Hosting Underage Drinking Parties Could Mean Jail Time for Adults
New bill aims to stiffen penalties in the wake of a deadly North Potomac collision
By Andrew Metcalf
Del. David Fraser-Hidalgo is planning to introduce legislation this year to toughen penalties for adults who host underage drinking parties Provided photo
Parents who host underage drinking parties could face jail time if the General Assembly passes a bill proposed by a Montgomery County lawmaker.
The measure, proposed by Del. David Fraser-Hidalgo (D-District 15), is in response to a deadly collision in June that killed two recent graduates of Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville. County police have reported the driver involved—Samuel Ellis, 19—had been drinking at a party at the North Potomac house of Kenneth Saltzman, while Saltzman, 49, was present and knewIt will also help explain the impetus for a new and innovative collaboration (note the lower case "c") happening in southern New Mexico. The audio clip here is from an interview with Audubon Society's Karyn Stockdale about the effort to preempt an extended silvery minnow-esque court battle in the Lower Rio Grande by working out water agreements in advance of potential listings stemming from last year's legal settlement. You'll notice some echoes of the Conservation Agreement idea in here too. That is, using the threat of a listing as a way to spark cooperation.

THE HEART-BROKEN MISS WALLACE

"Virginia, if you ask me that again, I'll believe you think I fib. Of
course I'm sure!"
"Did you see him more than once, Lucile?"
"Priscilla, I've told you a dozen times that I saw him one whole
afternoon long at Versailles. Isn't that long enough to remember him,
I'd like to know?"
"And Miss Wallace said when she introduced him--just what did she say,
anyhow?"
"Vivian Winters, you make me sick! You really do! She said--and this is
the twentieth time I've told you--she said, 'Lucile, I want you to meet
my dear friend, Mr. Taylor.'"
"And what did he say?"
"Will you please listen this time, Dorothy, forat St. Helen's."
A bell sounded across the campus.
"It's time for the Senior song," said Priscilla. "We must go in a
minute. I'm going to take a piece of pine for my Memory Book to
remember the last meeting."
They all followed her example. Then, standing on the big rock with
their arms around one another's shoulders, they repeated earnestly
their Vigilante principles:
"We stand for fair play and true friendship."
"And for taking care of our roots," added Virginia, as a postscript.
Then they scrambled down from the rock, and ran through the wood path
to the campus, where the lower classes were gathering for the annual
Senior song, which was held the last day of Commencement. From the
woods north of the campus came the twenty Seniors in white dresses.

Raising the voltage - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington
The good news for Donald Trump is he's managed to push his feud with a grieving war widow out of the headlines. The bad news is he's done it by pushing a stake through Republican unity at a time when the party needs to come together to pass big-ticket tax reform through Congress.
The latest blistering exchange between Republican Senator Bob Corker and the president has all the hallmarks ofone of Mr Trump's classic intra-party campaign spats.
There's the quick Twitter trigger finger, the derogatory nicknames ("liddle" Bob Corker), the over-the-top hyperbole ("he couldn't get elected dog catcher").
Republicans - including those who bore the brunt of Mr Trump's vitriolic attacks - largely shrugged off those earlier rows as primary-season posturing and unified behind their unlikely standard-bearer in the autumn general election.
Mr Corker, on the verge of Senate retirement, isn't backing down, however. And the president is once again raising the voltage.
The party is learning the hard way that there's only one Donald Trump - whether he's a real-estate mogul, a reality TV star, a candidate or a president.
If you question his leadership, his views or his attitude, he'll unleash the whirlwind, no matter the consequences.

In their National Conference held April 19-21, The Community of Christ (formerly The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) moved to extend marriage to same-sex couples.
The specific recommendations of the Conference to the Community of Christ First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are as follows:
The 2013 USA National Conference recommends the sacrament of marriage be extended, where legal in the USA, to persons of the same sex/gender. Thus the 2013 USA National Conference recommends a change to the current policy for the USA on the sacrament of marriage; and The 2013 USA National Conference recommends that a church-recognized way for two persons of the same sex/gender to publicly express their covenant to each other be made available in places in the USA where marriageglans (head of the penis) is located and thus be able to know where exactly to cut the foreskin off. It would take a lot of the guess work out of the 'procedure'."
Jewish Circumcision: An Alternative Perspective (CIRP)"As a Jew, I used to take ritual circumcision completely for granted. I watched the procedure many times, when a son was born to family or friends. It is unusual for a woman to watch, but I was a young medical student, unafraid, curious and, eventually horrified. My concern about this issue has arisen slowly, simply from what I have seen."

indoctrination trips by the U.S. government." Nevertheless, during his follow up visit Izarra suggested that the two countries should explore the idea of conducting journalist exchanges, provided of course that the U.S. would follow up in kind and "invite U.S. journalists to Venezuela for reciprocal visits to poor Venezuelan communities where they might witness the government of Venezuela social missions."
Izarra's offer seems reasonable enough, yet the caustic and dismissive Brownfield was skeptical of Chávez's so-called "charm offensive." The ambassador remarked that Izarra had acted "very severely" toward several accredited U.S. journalists based in Venezuela. Izarra retorted that several American reporters, including the correspondent of the Miami Herald, had been "consistently and erroneously critical of the government of Venezuela and its policies," and therefore the Minister believed he "hadhad become "apprehensive" about political persecution. Correa also snubbed the U.S. by refusing to attend the event, claiming that a Chávez coup plotter served on the board of directors of Alianza which sponsored the event.
Underscoring the highly sensitive political environment in Venezuela, U.S. diplomats alerted Washington in 2008 to an odd incident which had occurred at the Caracas airport. One evening, the manager for American Airlines in Venezuela called the U.S. Embassy to report that the captain and crew of flight 903 were being held at the airport. What was the reason? Apparently, upon landing a crew member had remarked "'Welcome to Venezuela. Local Chávez time is' X."
One year earlier, Venezuela had created its own time zone, and most likely the crew member was simply reminding the passengers

1917 and the Russian Civil War (1917-1921) all of these farms (whose owners were called Kulaks) and enterprises were expropriated. Beyond expropriation, Mennonites suffered severe persecution during the course of the Civil War, at the hands of both the Bolsheviks and, particularly, the anarchists of Nestor Makhno who saw Mennonites as privileged foreigners of the upper class and targeted them. Hundreds of Mennonite men, women and children were murdered in these attacks. After the war people who openly followed religion were in many cases imprisoned. This led to a wave of Russian Mennonite emigration to the Americas (U.S., Canada and Paraguay).
When the German army invaded the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, many in the Mennonite community saw them as liberators from the communist regime under whichthey had suffered. When the tide of war turned, many of the Mennonites fled with the German army back to Germany where they were accepted as "Volksdeutsche". After the war the remainder of the Mennonite community emigrated or, (because, as the Soviets saw it, they had "collectively collaborated" with the Germans) was forcefully relocated to Siberia and Kazakhstan, and many were sent to the Gulag. Many German-Russian Mennonites who lived further to the East (not Western Russia) were deported to Siberia before the German army's invasion, and were also often placed in labor camps. In the 1990s the Russian government gave these people the opportunity to emigrate. The Russian Mennonite immigrants in Germany outnumber the pre-1989 community of Mennonites in Germany by 3 to 1.

evident that Lucius had learnt the elements of
Christianity before he sent to Eleutherius for further instruction; for such is
the express meaning of the words, "Ye have received of late, through God's
mercy, in the realm of Brittainny (sic), the law and faith of Christ; ye have
with you, within the realm, both parts of Scripture." (See the whole letter in Foxe:Acts and Mon.
1, p.118, edition of 1684.)
It would also appear from these last words, that the Old and New Testaments were
at so early a date as this known in Great Britain. The natural inference is that
the ancient Britons, before the middle of the second century, were first taught
by the Eastern, rather than the Roman Church, and at most were confirmed in
their faith by Eleutherius sending Fugatius and Damianus to preachthe simple
word of the Gospel, and not by the processions and ritual of the later Papal
Church of Rome.
Tertullian, who lived about the end of the
second century, in his book,Contra Judeos, implies the same by his
testimony, that in his day it was commonly affirmed. that the Gospel story was
dispersed abroad by the apostles among "the Medes, Persians, Parthians, and
dwellers in Mesopotamia, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Egypt, Pamphylia,
and many more countries;" at length mentioning the "coasts of the Nuorians
(Morocco), and all the borders of Spain, with various nations of Gaul;" and also
"parts of Britain, which Rome never could attain to, are now subject to Christ."
This testimony of Tertullian, confirmed as it was by Origen, who flourished
immediately after him, bears out the inference above drawn from the letter of
Eleutherius, which referred

We're first introduced to Woody Guthrie (Marcus Carl Franklin), a 12-year-old black guitarist who sings songs about unionization in 1959 before being advised to live his own time. This advice leads directly to earnest folk singer Jack Rollins (Christian Bale); who is followed onstage by leather-clad provocateur Jude Quinn (Cate Blanchett). There is also Robbie Clark (Heath Ledger), an actor who once played Rollins, and Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Wishaw), who is seen only in an interview (or perhaps a deposition). And then there is Billy the Kid (Richard Gere), who we'll get back to in a minute. Taken on their own, any of these segments would make a fascinating interpretation of Dylan's life in miniature, their respective protagonists brushing up against moments both iconic and rumored. Taken asa whole, Haynes' dense, challenging narrative (co-written by Oren Moverman) portrays Dylan in a manner worthy of the singer's Cubist method - as Dylan himself once explained (and is quoted in the film), "You've got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there's very little you can't imagine not happening."
The of such a fragmentary approach is total, self-indulgent disaster that would make Renaldo and Clara look like Walk the Line. That the film's risks succeed so admirably is largely thanks to the cast, who breathe life into Haynes' signifiers. The best is Cate Blanchett, admittedly given an advantage as she's playing Dylan in his folk-killing, wine-swigging, chain-smoking, condescending asshole phase (possibly the coolest anyone has ever been, ever). But Blanchett's Jude Quinn, like her Katharine

president of the press association. "He really pulled off the impossible."
Notably left out were frequent Globes-nominees "House of Cards" and "Transparent," two of the TV shows affected by the cascading fallout of sexual harassment allegations in the wake of Weinstein's ouster. As usual, the nominations were partly announced on NBC's "Today" show, where Matt Lauer was recent fired following allegations of sexual misconduct.
The nominees for best picture drama are: the tender young romance "Call Me By Your Name," Christopher Nolan's World War II epic ''Dunkirk," ''The Post," "The Shape of Water" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
The nominees for best picture comedy or musical are: James Franco's "The Disaster Artist," Jordan Peele's horror sensation "Get Out," Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age tale "Lady Bird," the upcoming musical "The Greatest Showman"and the Tonya Harding comic-drama "I, Tonya."
Despite considerable backlash, "Get Out" ended up on the comedy side of the Globes after being submitted that way by Universal Pictures. Peele himself slyly commented on the controversy, calling his social critique of latent racism "a documentary." The Globes passed over Peele's script, but newcomer Daniel Kaluuya was nominated for best actor in a comedy.
Though some predicted and feared an acting field lacking diversity, the nominees were fairly inclusive. Denzel Washington ("Roman J. Israel, Esq."), Mary J. Blige ("Mudbound"), Hong Chau ("Downsizing") and Octavia Spencer ("The Shape of Water") were among the 30 film acting nominees.
But the best director category remained all-male, as it has for most of Globes and Academy Awards history. Many had thought this year might be different

In early October, Apple announced the imminent launch of iTunes Match, which will allow users to store their music libraries and other files in the cloud. Apple promised its many rabid fans that Match would be available later in the month. Well, it's now November, and Apple, which isn't commenting on the delay, "has uncharacteristically missed its own deadline." What happened? Here, four theories:

Dr. Donald Liu, chief of pediatric surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine's Comer Children's Hospital, saw the two boys, who were friends of the family, swept up in the water. Despite protests from his own children, who were scared about the dangerous conditions, Liu went in to save them.
The two boys made it back to the shore near Cherry Beach in Chikaming, but Liu, 50, did not survive the 6-foot swells and treacherous currents.

meant a lot to Asher.
"I'm really sad that my dad died because every time he would come home from work at 5 o'clock, even though he didn't have to, he would play baseball with me and we would go in the backyard," Asher said. "We would always watch the White Sox together."
Asher said he hoped to continue the legacy of watching White Sox games with his family, in honor of his dad.
Liu was a passionate man and when he knew something was right, he didn't hesitate. Suskind said Liu told her he loved her on their second date and they were engaged three months later.
"It was actually meant to be," Suskind said.
They were married for more than 17 years, having met during their residencies at the University ofPennsylvania in 1992. Both Liu and Suskind worked at the University of Chicago Medicine since 2001.
"He was known as a selfless individual who was completely devoted to children," Matthews said.
"People will tell you that he's the heart and soul of our pediatric programs," Matthews said. "And always going the extra mile. He was tireless. You know, the kind of guy would operate all day and all night and say, 'Where do we have to go next?' And he would do whatever the children needed."
Chikaming Township's Assistant Police Chief Todd Taylor said, "It was a unique circumstance because this was a brave guy going out to try to help some kids."
Suskind wants to create a foundation to honor her husband. Those wishing to contribute can donate to the Dr.

The route to launch A Buk system, designed to destroy enemy aircraft at medium range, is 9m long, 3.5m high and runs on caterpillar tracks. The control system has room for four - a commander, a driver and two operators. The commander checks radar for a target, and a few minutes later the missile can be launched.
"The investigation could track down a large part of the route of the Buk trailer (carrying the system)," said Wilbert Paulissen, head of crime investigation for the Netherlands national police.

All this data shows the Buk was brought into Ukraine from the Russian Federation, near the Ukraine town of Sukhodilsk. It joined a convoy of Ukraine separatists - armed men in uniform who escorted it to the final launch site. At 8am a witness saw it in Yenakiieve. It was seen in Donetsk by "many witnesses", in social media and in a video from which Paris Match reporters published a well-known still. At 11am the convoy continued towards Snizhne.

She rubs absently at her shoulder, lifting four fingers to the robot behind the bar and ordering two shots each for she and Ironface, she downs both in quick succession, relaxing finally once the number of shots had is in the range of 'few'. "Aaaaaaah," she says, readjusting the trio of weapons slung across her back from right shoulder to left hip. She nods then, slipping the shotglasses back with a smile before going back to nursing the beer. A smile is offered to Victoria,tea is /what you do/." She looks back to Nemo and says simply, "That we come to a place here where people can do that, instead of scrabbling and scraping. We are making progress. I want to help that however I can."

meaning of the Workmen's Compensation Law?
2. Was the claimant engaged in extra-hazardous employment within the meaning of the Workmen's Compensation Law?
Judge Sodaro in a memorandum opinion answered "Yes" to each of the above issues, thus affirming the award of the Workmen's Compensation Commission which had also found in favor of the claimant. This appeal was taken from the judgment of the lower court and the same issues which were before that court are now before us.
i
Section 33 of the Workmen's Compensation Law (Md. Code, Art. 101 (1957)) provides in part:
"Whenever the State, county, city or any municipality shall engage in any extra-hazardous work, within the meaning of this article, whether for pecuniary gain or otherwise, in which workmen are employed for wages, this article shall be applicable thereto."
Thenormally be employed in the proprietary or non-governmental functions of the municipality. In discussing the character of the officer's occupation, the Court said:
"He was clothed while on duty with all the powers of the police of Baltimore City, as conservators of the peace, and was permitted by law to exercise a part, and no unimportant part of the sovereignty of the state." Id. at 19, 133 A. at 890.
In light of the above-quoted statement, the distinction between Harris and the instant case is at once obvious. The appellee not being "clothed in the sovereignty" of the State, was not an officer, as was the policeman. At the time of her injury, she was earning approximately sixty-three dollars weekly. Under these facts the lower court was correct in deciding

at the University of Utah examined these louse genes and determined their hosts split into three species 5–6 million years ago, and these species were all equally abundant before whaling began in the 11th century.[20] The communities first split because of the joining of North and South America. The rising temperatures of the equator then created a second split, into northern and southern groups, preventing them from interbreeding.[21] "This puts an end to the long debate about whether there are three [Eubalaena] species of right whale. They really are separate beyond a doubt", Jon Seger, the project's leader, told BBC News.[22]
Others
The pygmy right whale (Capera marginata), a much smaller whale of the Southern Hemisphere, was also included in the Balaenidae family, but has recently been found to warranta separate family, Neobalaenidae. Yet another species of right whale was proposed by Emanuel Swedenborg in the 18th century - the so-called "Swedenborg whale". The description of this species was based on a collection of fossil bones unearthed at Norra Vånga, Sweden, in 1705 and believed to be those of giants. The bones were examined by Swedenborg, who realized they belong to a species of whale. The existence of this species has been debated, and further evidence for this species was discovered during the construction of a motorway in Strömstad, Sweden in 2009.[23] To date, however, scientific consensus still considers Hunterius swedenborgii to be a North Atlantic right whale.[24]

colonies replaced the Basques. Setting out from Nantucket, Massachusetts and Long Island, New York, they took up to 100 animals in good years. By 1750, the commercial hunt of the North Atlantic right whale was basically over. The Yankee whalers moved into the South Atlantic before the end of the 18th century. The southernmost Brazilian whaling station was established in 1796, in Imbituba. Over the next hundred years, Yankee whaling spread into the Southern and Pacific Oceans, where the Americans were joined by fleets from several European nations. The beginning of the 20th century saw much greater industrialization of whaling, and the harvest grew rapidly. By 1937, there had been, according to whalers' records, 38,000 takes in the South Atlantic, 39,000 in the South Pacific, 1,300 in theIndian Ocean, and 15,000 in the North Pacific. The incompleteness of these records means the actual take was somewhat higher.[49]
As it became clear the stocks were nearly depleted, the world banned right whaling in 1937. The ban was largely successful, although violations continued for several decades. Madeira took its last two right whales in 1968. Japan took 23 Pacific right whales in the 1940s and more under scientific permit in the 1960s. Illegal whaling continued off the coast of Brazil for many years and the Imbituba land station processed right whales until 1973. The Soviet Union illegally took at least 3,212 southern right whales during the 1950s and '60s, although it reported taking only four.[50]

Radipole Lake
Monday April 15th 2013
One of our earliest summer migrants is not a warbler or a swallow but a duck.
The garganey is a small duck a bit like a teal (the French call it the 'teal of the summer') that winters in central Africa.
You can often see them in the background of TV programmes about hippos or other African wildlife drinking at waterholes.
This year Radipole Lake had quite an influx of them at the end of March.
This is the first one I found, on March 26th not far from the Discovery Centre.
This next one was in front of the North Hide, one of five there on April 7th.
It seems to have hiccups.
Now a closer view of a drake garganey preening next to a teal, taken onsame-sex couples marriage, but there are laws on the books preventing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. New Mexico does have adoption equality and permits joint and second-parent adoptions for same-sex couples. It also recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other states.
The issue of legalizing same-sex marriage has now shifted to New Mexico after recent victories in Illinois and Hawaii. In late October New Mexico’s Supreme Court heard arguments about whether to legalize such marriages.
This came after the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of New Mexico, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and the law firm of Satin, Theyer, and Browne formally filed legal briefs with the court in September, responding to a request from 33 county clerks who asked the court to determine whether New

Pirates. Or rather, on July 3, when Morgan made his first start for the Nats. Pre-Morgan, the Nats were 21st in the majors in runs scored. Since Morgan's arrival, they're third. Their on-base percentage has increased 18 points. They were 23-54 when he arrived. They are 17-18 since.
In fact, the only question is whether Morgan's biggest contribution has come as the leadoff hitter, or the center fielder. The answer: yes.
"The leadoff position is a real challenge," interim manager Jim Riggleman said recently. "It takes a special guy to handle that role and get on base and make the other pitcher work and give information to the other players about what the guy is throwing, and at the same time, cause havoc to the other team. He's given usall that, but as much or more than that, he's given us a guy in center field who can really go get the ball. ... He's really played a great center field, he's been pretty special out there. Balls have been hit off the bat that we've said in the dugout, 'No way he's getting to that'; he's tracked them down, so that's been huge."
To say Mike Rizzo is happy about the biggest deal of his brief tenure as interim general manager would be an understatement.
"It's made a huge difference in the attitude of the club, the energy level of the club and the attitude in the clubhouse," he said. "Beyond that, though, the actual baseball side of it, it was a good fit for our club.

Senators are pushing the Environmental Protection Agency to collect nearly $124,000 for inappropriate travel expenses by former agency chief Scott Pruitt, after a watchdog reports was released, reports the Hill.
The state of play: In a Thursday letter EPA on Thursday, 4 senators requested changes to the existing policy so “similar abuses of agency funds are not permitted to reoccur," per the Hill.
The big picture: Pruitt isn't the first member of the Trump administration to end up in hot water for top-dollar travel.
The former head of the Department of Health and Human Services, Tom Price, resigned after spending nearly a $1 million on travel expenses.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also requested government travel for him and his wife for their honeymoon.
Former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was also investigated for hisof ownership by renting out their vessels as accommodation.
"In a marina … these boats just sit here for a lot of the time, which is the reality across marinas around the world," he said.
"[This proposal] is a convergence of the sharing economy.
"The sharing economy really looks at saying: 'how do you make money out of private assets that may be underutilised'?"

There has been growing concern about the impact of sharing platforms like Airbnb on rental affordability in surrounding communities, as well as a disconnect between the landlord and the tenant ultimately sub-letting the property.

to an end after getting arrested Friday afternoon.
The man, who goes by the moniker "Pestilence" on the unofficial Kansas City Chiefs internet fan forum chiefsplanet.com was arrested at his workplace on Friday afternoon, caught in the act of sending another indecent picture of himself to one of the other participants on the forum.
Pestilence's attorney, also a Chiefs Planet member known as "Baby Lee," claimed to police that he doesn't see the problem, and that his client was only contributing to a continuously running gag on the forum since 2012.
"Look, I don't quite understand it, but they've got this character named Fisty McTatt, which is an altered image using photo-editing software that depicts my client's hand contorted into a bizarre-looking fist," said Lee to media sources just hours afterdefendant's genitalia serving as the elephant's trunk.
Lee claims that he and his client were misled by Chiefs Planet's management team: "I was busy watching my 4th hour of Seinfeld re-runs when 'Pesty' showed this to me. I thought it was really funny, but was unaware of Chiefs Planet's code of conduct. I private messaged Bob Dole, a moderator, asking his opinion, and when I received no response, I figured the image would be safe to distribute to all of the members."
The Dicky McElephant image has been altered by numerous other individuals. These images feature the character in a variety of familiar situations and photographs, including one particularly grotesque and vile alteration of Dorothea Lang's world-famous "Migrant Mother" photograph. In the new image, the elephant character stares down the

The guard beat him with his rifle butt, and soon other guards joined in.
"The next morning," Perkowski recalled, "someone said, 'Hey, look over at the signpost.' Quentin's head was hanging from it."
Perkowski, a retired CPA who lives in Gardnerville, Nev., went on to spend a year toiling in a coal mine 35 miles from Nagasaki. Conditions were so bad that some prisoners had others smash their arms and legs with huge rocks; for them, the pain of broken bones beat the pain of another day underground.
The men at the reunion traded stories they'd heard many times.
Most had been stuffedinto the stinking holds of "hell ships" for the journey from the Philippines to Japan. Allied bombers sank a number of them, unaware there were American prisoners on board.
Art Beale, 86, of Westminster, misted up when talking about his treatment by a Navy officer who spoke to him during his liberation from a prison camp in Manchuria.
"I was a walking skeleton and I was wearing rags," Beale said. "I weighed maybe 70 pounds. I was so ashamed of my appearance -- but he came over and gave me a big hug."
In a meeting at the reunion, the veterans were urged to write their representatives in support of bills that would compensate prisoners of war.

She built a strong relationship with her father, who had separated from her mother when she was an infant.
By the time she was 17, she was back with her mom but supporting herself financially.
She was wary of relationships but wanted a family, and at 19 she found a like-minded colleague who agreed to co-parent a son. They moved to Hawaii, because she had fond memories of a childhood vacation.
"I think there was a part of me that thought I could run away from all that crazy horrible stuff," she said. "I was trying to find ways to be okay."
But the peace was fragile. When her father died in 1991, Hope became so depressed, she fell into a stupor. She was hospitalized, and for the first time, a psychiatristlistened as she talked about her childhood abuse. It was eye-opening, but therapy offered limited relief. She grew well enough to leave the hospital but found little joy outside.
In 1998, she suffered another breakdown after learning from a friend that the man who'd sexually abused her was under investigation for molesting another girl.
Under the weight of stress and emotion, Hope's carefully constructed shell began to crack.
"I started having these outrageous flashbacks, and body memories," she recalled. "The first time, I thought someone slipped me a drug. Because it would be these unstoppable, full-body blackout memories, and people would tell me later, 'You were just screaming for an hour.' "
She stopped sleeping. Her stomach problems worsened; she vomited every time she ate.
Once again, she checked herself into the hospital.

poor playing conditions. The lights were not located in optimal positions for baseball visibility. During August and September, when the Dolphins (and later, the Hurricanes) shared the stadium, the field conditions were, according to both Marlins and visiting players, among the worst in the majors. Indeed, several Marlins players said that at times, they "couldn't wait to go on the road." Visiting teams hated coming to the stadium as well. For instance, when the Atlanta Braves came to the stadium for the last time in 2011, Dan Uggla, who played for the Marlins from 2006 to 2010, said that he was probably the only Brave who was going to miss it.[38][39][40] The stadium's problems as a baseball venue became even more stark as time wore on, as theMarlins' tenure in the stadium coincided with a wave of new, baseball-only parks. When the Marlins began play in 1993, the stadium was one of 14 that hosted both a Major League Baseball team and a professional football team. But by the time the Marlins left the stadium, it was one of only three in the majors (and the only National League stadium) that played host to both a baseball team and an NFL or CFL team. The others were the Oakland Coliseum and Toronto's Rogers Centre.
For most of the Marlins' tenure at the stadium, it was the hottest stadium in the major leagues. The Marlins played nearly all of their home games from late May through mid-September at night due to South Florida's often oppressive heat and

into question. It was Cross' behavior -- and the actions of those on her campaign -- that warrant scrutiny, he has said.
Brewington said he will submit a reply to the district's filing this month and he believes the evidence he'll provide will help King "make a decision in our favor."
The district said the absentee ballots received the day of the election were properly scrutinized, though it admits that Touré's name was misspelled on the ballot.
The district denies claims that representatives from Cross' campaign asked residents to allow them to vote on their behalf -- or that absentee ballots were photocopied and reproduced. It also argues that a May 21 special meeting, in which contested absentee ballots were open and counted, was held lawfully.
With regard to the number ofabsentee ballots, Touré and Brewington say they were told just days before the election that 231 absentee ballots were recorded. They later learned another 301 had been issued.
The district admits that "no list was created identifying who received absentee ballots" but also said such a list was not requested and that this "technical violation" of the law "does not warrant the commissioner to order a new election."
The district further said that on May 19, a day before the election, "a significant number of people" came to the district clerk's office seeking absentee ballots.
Hempstead Town denies allegations that voters weren't given enough time to cast their ballots and that Spanish-speaking residents were not given translation services after poll workers learned they were voting for Touré -- or that they

We start our day from central Athens with a short bus tour around the main sights of the city of Athens: the Syntagma square and the Greek Parliament, the three impressive buildings of the Neoclassical Athenian Trilogy: the Academy, the University and the National Library, the Omonoia square and the beautiful building of the National Theatre.
We continue the tour heading north-east until we reach the magical archaeological site of Amphiareion where we learnTSA Gives Creepy Scalp Massage to Woman With Afro
As part of the TSA's efforts to stop black women from always trying to board airplanes with their hairdos full of explosives and boxcutters, an agent at Atlanta's airport made Dallas-based hairstylist Isis Brantley submit to a thorough Afro search. And a free head massage! Security checkpoints are the new spas.
Due to the invasive and apparently aggressive nature of the agent's technique, Brantley didn't really find the rubdown to be all that relaxing. "[S]he was digging in my scalp," she told NBC News. "I was outraged ... I was humiliated. I was confused." A TSA statement says the agent offered Brantley the chance to be Afro-searched in private, but Brantley disputes that claim. A supervisor at the airport apologized for

Except for his interest in the home, there was no testimony whatever as to the husband's financial resources or his ability to provide for his own necessities, beyond his statement that he had never received any money from his wife and had been paying the bills and "keeping things going".

The Karak Archaeological Museum was established inside the old castle, which has remains from the Moabite period in the first millennium BC, going through the Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Crusader periods. The museum was opened in 1980.
The main part of the museum is a large hall in a vault of the castle, used as living quarters for soldiers in the Mameluk period. The collections date from the Neolithic up to the late Islamic periods and come from the Karak and Tafila regions. Among the sites is Bab Adh-Dhra’, famous for its Bronze Age burials. The museum houses remains of skeletons and pottery from the Bab Adh-Dhra' graves; Iron Age II artefacts from Buseirah; Byzantine glass vessels and inscriptions, and Roman and Nabataean artefacts from Rabbah

which is used throughout its current line-up. Power from the V12 engine is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
Aston Martin Design Director Marek Reichman said: "The new model, like its exclusive siblings the One-77 and V12 Zagato, has been created as a piece of exceptional automotive art.
"It has been designed and developed entirely in keeping with the spirit and ethos of previous Lagonda super saloons – notably the William Towns Lagonda – and as a tribute to this car it proudly bears the Lagonda nameplate."
At its 1976 launch the Lagonda was notable for, among other things, its use of advanced technology – including LED display panels. The Aston Martin Lagonda, like its forebear, also makes use of modern innovations. For example, it utilisescarbonfibre for its exterior panelling.
Each Lagonda will be hand built at Aston Martin's plant in Gaydon, in a building that was previously dedicated to construction of the One-77 supercar. The new Aston Martin Lagonda follows in the footsteps of other bespoke projects including the £500,000 Aston Martin CC100 Speedster, production versions of which were built by the 'Q by Aston Martin' division.
Launched in 2013, the Q division is responsible for offering customers the ability to customise existing models to their own specifications, or to commission entirely bespoke cars. An Aston Martin spokesperson had previously said that the Lagonda was part of a series of coach-built models produced by the Q division.
The company says that the launch of the new saloon revives the Lagonda ethos of "the finest of

is defined as any multi-story building supported by a steel or concrete frame instead of traditional load-bearing walls (Curl and Wilson (2015), page 710). The tall buildings capable of sustaining the dense cities of the future will almost certainly be skyscrapers. Over the past century, building beyond a few floors has required a supporting frame to be economical.
In contrast to the precise definition of a skyscraper, the definition of a tall building depends on context. From a safety perspective, high-rises—multi-story buildings beyond 23 meters (75 feet)—are harder to evacuate than low-rises. For characterizing the urban skyline, however, a twenty story skyscraper in Sydney, Australia might go unnoticed while the same building in Sidney, New York would dominate the skyline. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)accurate, reliable information on tall buildings around the world” (ibid.) However, the data relies on CTBUH members and the public to add entries, resulting in the partial or complete omission of some smaller buildings. For this reason, this paper refers to buildings exceeding 150 meters and 40 floors as tall, roughly the size of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. CTBUH catalogs 3,251 tall skyscrapers in 258 cities as of December 2017. In later sections, it will also be convenient to consider skyscrapers exceeding 225 meters or 59 floors, roughly the size of One Penn Plaza in New York City. Due to the nature of our analysis, we refer to these building as extremely tall. CTBUH catalogs 325 extremely tall skyscrapers in 81 cities as of

elevator brake and the mass production of steel, made building beyond a few floors economical. By the turn of the twentieth century, a handful of twenty floor buildings had been completed in major cities across the United States. By the mid-twentieth century, engineering advances allowed for mile-high buildings (1609.34 meters), and various architects have proposed designs, such as the Houston Pinnacle (1 mile, 500 floors), the Ultima Tower (2 miles, 500 floors), and the Sky Mile Tower (1 mile, 400 floors). Perhaps most famously, architect Frank Lolyd Wright proposed a mile-high skyscraper, The Illinois, in 1957, planning for 528 floors (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (2017)).
But none of these designs have been realized. Despite the technical ability to build tall, mile-high designs are considered impractical becausethey are unlikely to turn a profit. Indeed, highly ambitious projects often fail for financial reasons. (Lepik (2004), pages 21-2) For example, the Jeddah Tower was originally planned for one mile (330 floors). After the Great Recession, the height was reduced by more than a third to one thousand meters (167 floors).
Skyscrapers are a commercial response to an economic phenomenon. They arise when land values produce rents that exceed the enormous cost of construction and maintenance. Aesthetics are a secondary concern (Clark and Kingston (1930)), (Willis (1995)), (Ascher and Vroman (2011), pages 12, 22). Indeed, it was in the aftermath of the 1871 Chicago fire that the urgent need for new office space produced the First Chicago School of skyscrapers (Lepik (2004), page 6).

More than games
Becker College formally launched its Bachelor of Science in esports management this month after an initial "soft release" last year.
"It's no longer kids playing games in their basement," said Alan Ritacco, dean of Becker College's School of Design and Technology. The top esports players now earn almost as much as the highest paid stars in traditional sports like golf or tennis, he said.
The schoolsemphasize that their courses aren't about just playing video games.
"People are unaware of the industry that goes behind esports," said Matt Huxley, a lecturer at Staffordshire University's Digital Institute London, a new outpost the university, near Birmingham, England, opened so students could be closer to game companies in the British capital.

Many hospitals have long been poorly equipped with unreliable power, which has at times put vaccine cold-chains at risk and meant some shots may have been unrefrigerated and rendered ineffective, said Ulana Suprun, a Ukrainian-American medical doctor who was acting health minister in Kiev until the government changed in August.
In 2008, a 17-year-old boy died shortly after being given a measles-rubella vaccine. The government suspended the immunization program to investigate. It found no link to the boy’s death. But by then, health officials say, the damage to public confidence was done.
In the past, vaccine provision was also disrupted by an opaque medicines procurement system which allowed oligarchs to broker backroom deals with little external oversight.

This was partly a result of early internet access being slow, not allowing multimedia and movies, and broadband access being more widely spread later on ([@bb0035]). With the advent of modern mobile phones (smartphones) the reach became even larger and for a while the internet has been possible to access from different platforms ([@bb0445]). The third historical background, which has been around for a long time as well, is computerized testing and interventions ([@bb0440]), with early programs like Eliza ([@bb0250]). While the focus of internet interventions research and clinical practice is often on treatment, an equally important area is computerized testing using the internet, and not only online questionnaires ([@bb0625]), but also cognitive testing ([@bb0385]), and more recently collecting data using smartphones ([@bb0410]).

In a report investigators describe suspect Roland Evan Croyle as a man "prepared to cause as much harm as he could" after setting fire to a restaurant with several people inside.
"When he was throwing the propane tank in there, he just looked non-chalant," said DiLorenzo.
Deputies say with the help of a witness, with a license to carry, investigators were able to wrestle Croyle to the ground.
"I'm just glad there wasn't a lot of people in there and nobody got hurt," said DiLorenzo.
Report show Croyle thought his life would end as well Monday afternoon.
Investigators say Croyle told deputies "I was supposedto die."

Deputies say arson suspect, Roland Croyle, was on a mission to kill and die himself when he lit Twin Peaks on fire Monday afternoon.
"When he was doing it, throwing propane tanks in there and everything, he looked nonchalant," said Bartender Tyler DiLorenzo.
Workers say Croyle, a former Twin Peaks busboy, was making good on a promise.
"When he was fired a year ago, one of the girls said he

You Can Book a Room in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean at This North Carolina Bed and Breakfast
It may not be the over-water bungalow Caribbean vacation fantasies are made of, but it's certainly unique.
Located approximately 30 miles off of North Carolina's coast, the Frying Pan Tower is a former Coast Guard light station that now operates as one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast. Erected mid-sea on a modified Texas oil drilling platform, the structure retired from its Coast Guard duties in 2004. In 2010, it was purchased in an auction, and converted into an eight-bedroom abode, with bookings open to the public. (Don't expect luxury digs—the rooms here read more "dorm room chic" than "four star hotel." View them here.)

During a stay, visitors can soak up majestic panoramicviews of the ocean and sky, as well as enjoy activities like fishing, billiards, hammock-lazing, skeet shooting, and golfing on the deck. As "off-the-grid" as this actual middle-of-the-ocean haunt may be, there's (somehow) high-speed internet.

When weasked owner Richard Neal if guests are expected to swim there, he chuckled and said he gets that one a lot. Fortunately, he explained, most visitors arrive via helicopter thanks to the facility's landing pad, or charter a local boat to drop them off at their seaside dwellings.

As for Wyche, he was the Bengals' head coach for eight years, losing his grip on the floating door after a 3-13 season in 1991. He immediately traded in Ohio orange for Florida orange (and hopefully traded in Skyline chili for some Florida oranges), taking over the helm of the Buccaneers in 1992. If this series did fashion a traveling trophy – a favorite theme here in our Series history, uh, series – Wyche would deserve to have his name on it. He is 2-0 in the series, beating the Bucs with Cincy in 1989 and taking down the Bengals with Tampa Bay in 1995.
That latter victory kicked off a six-game winning streak for theBuccaneers against the Bengals, matching their longest run against any team at any point in franchise history. That streak took so much time to unfold that Derrick Brooks played in the first one but not the sixth one, and Ronde Barber played in the sixth one but not the first one. Andy Dalton was the quarterback when the Bengals snapped that streak four years ago, becoming the first Bengals passer to take down the Bucs since Boomer Esiason in 1989. Dalton was two years old when the Bengals hosted the Bucs that October day in '89, so he probably didn't fully appreciate the five touchdown passes Esiason lofted in the game.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a franchise-best .636 winning percentage against two teams: Buffalo and Cincinnati. This Sunday,

And probably made Sam Wyche become very memorable to his future employers. The Buccaneers actually nearly matched Cincinnati in total yards, 475 to 482, and the score was only 21-16 at the half but two Vinny Testaverde picks and a Lars Tate fumble in the second half did the Bucs in.
3. Cincinnati 21, Tampa Bay 0, Oct. 10, 1976
This one wasn't much of a contest, coming five games into the expansion Buccaneers' existence, but it's Cincinnati's only shutout in the series so it makes the list over a limp 23-17 win in 1983. The game marked the Bucs' first trip to Cincy, and they left without a point but probably plenty of bruises for quarterback Steve Spurrier, who was sacked three times.

Installation 'art' is sh*t
GENEVA (AFP) - A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum said Monday.
The art work, titled "Complex S(expletive..)", is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 metres (yards) from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell back to Earth in the grounds of a children's home, said museum director Juri Steiner.

A provincial New Democrat says former officials with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation have told him that Agent Orange was sprayed near highways across the province until the 1980s.
Gilles Bisson, the member for Timmins-James Bay, said during question period at Queen's Park in Toronto that an email sent to him by the officials indicates the substance was sprayed along the side of the highways to curb the growth of grass and shrubs.
"It would appear that there was a good chance that if you were an employee, you were exposed," said Bisson. "And if you were the travelling public walking along the roads — blueberry picking, doing whatever — you might have been exposed to these chemicals."
Ken Graham was a highways supervisor in Cochrane, north of Timmins, Ont., inplots of Crown land in northern Ontario in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Wynne said after question period that she was "concerned" when she first heard about the news.
"I did not have any information about how the herbicide had been used in the [Ministry of Transportation]. We're just asking those questions now. And we're going to work closely with [the Ministry of Transportation] to make sure we get A, the right questions asked and B, the answers," she said.
Agent Orange, a defoliant best known for its use during the war in Vietnam, has been linked to birth defects and deadly illnesses. Its use was banned by the federal government in 1985.
The only documented case of Agent Orange use in Canada occurred at CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick during the

as to minimize the size of such "monuments" associated with the extended aeration wastewater treatment system.
One of the problems with the electrical connections within the interior of wastewater treatment systems is the ability to electrically isolate the junction box or control panel from the liquids and gases within the interior of the wastewater treatment tank. Under certain circumstances, waterproof electrical cable extends to the various switches located within the interior of the .backslash.wastewater treatment tanks. Unfortunately, various corrosive gases will flow through the conduits supporting such waterproof cables until the terminals at the end of the electrical lines are very corroded. Once the electrical connections become corroded, it is often difficult or impossible to properly repair or reconnect the electrical lines. This corrosion effect is particularly pronounced whenchlorine is used for the treatment of the wastewater.
Under other circumstances, where the junction boxes are placed on the interior of one of the .backslash.wastewater treatment tanks, an overflow condition can result in the contamination or destruction of the junction box. Whenever water flows onto the surface of the junction box, then short circuits are created by the water which remains internally within the junction box. As such, a need has developed so as to isolate the junction box or electrical control panel from the various fluids located within the interior of either the aeration tank or the pump tank of wastewater treatment systems.
Under certain circumstances, the homeowner will prefer to have the electrical controller (or "control center") located within a housing placed on top of the aeration

Even if he does play, there's a chance he could end up seeing limited snaps because of his ailment -- especially if Fred Davis gets hot. Bench Cooley if possible, at least for the first week of the season.
Kickers - start 'em
Sebastian Janikowski at Broncos (Mon.): Janikowski should start the 2011 campaign with a solid stat line against the Broncos. This AFC West rival allowed the second-most fantasy points to the position last season.
Neil Rackers vs. Colts: Rackers should put up some nice numbers for owners against the Colts. Only the Cardinals, Broncos and Titans allowed more fantasy points to opposing kickers last year, so give him the start.
Nick Folk vs. Cowboys: Sunday night's game won't be the "Folk Bowl," but he should be motivated to produce againstthe team that cut him loose. The Cowboys also gave up a bunch of fantasy points to kickers in 2010.
Sleeper alert - Alex Henery at Rams: It's hard not to like Henery, a rookie, on turf behind a solid Eagles offense. Also, keep in mind that the Rams allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers last year.
Kickers - sit 'em
Robbie Gould vs. Falcons: Gould was 12th in fantasy points at his position last season, so he'll be a starter in most leagues. However, he's a risk against a Falcons defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2010.
Dan Carpenter vs. Patriots: Carpenter finished in the top 12 in points at his position in 2010. He struggled against the AFC East rival Patriots, however, scoring a

Paris, July 25: The missing Air Algerie plane may have crashed while flying over Mali, French President Francois Hollande said on Thursday, pledging full mobilisation of military means to locate the MD-83 aircraft.
Hollande held a meeting following the disappearance of the Air Algeria at 5 p.m. on Thursday at the Elysee. The meeting was attended by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development Laurent Fabius, Minister of Defence Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve, and Minister for Transport Frederic Cuvillier, Xinhua reported.
"We cannot identify the causes of what happened. (But), everything must be done to find this plane. The search will takeas long as needed," Hollande told reporters after the crisis meeting on the missing plane carrying 51 French passengers.
"Following particularly difficult weather conditions", the plane's crew was said to have changed the flight's path from the intended direction, the French president said confirming previous reports.
He vowed to use all the military means in Mali to find the aircraft, and cancelled a planned visit to overseas territories scheduled for Thursday because of "a moment of gravity and sorrow".
Earlier, Fabius said two French Mirage warplanes have been dispatched around the northern Malian city of Gao to try find the plane reported missing 50 minutes after taking off from Burkina Faso to Algiers.
Operated by Air Algerie, the Spanish MD-83 aircraft carried more than 110 passengers and six Spanish crew members.

the manufacture of white crystal sugar and around 42% for gurl khandsari production. The remaining quantity is available for the manufacture of sugarcane juice.
It is a well known fact that sugarcanes are crushed to obtain the juice and it is a common practice in India to dispense this juice fresh either as such or with the addition of lime juice and/or fresh ginger extract in glasses by the vendors to the consumers. The major problem encountered in this operation is the lack of hygiene resulting in contamination of the juice with the heavy load of micro-organisms which arises due to improper cleaning of the sugarcanes and handling of the finished product. Raw sugarcane juice is a carbohydrate rich, low acid food and is therefore susceptible to the growthBackground {#Sec1}

The Annapurna region is a cluster of rural hilly villages spread across five districts and 57 villages development committees of the Western region of Nepal \[[@CR1]\]. It is located more than 200 km from Kathmandu and provides a suitable context (case) to investigate access to and use of medicines by exploring the interconnectedness between medicines, society, health system and its stakeholders. The region consists of rural villages with a population of more than 120,000 made up of eleven major and some minor ethnic groups \[[@CR1]\]. Some villages of the Annapurna region have received international aid over many years for development and delivery of health services and medicines. These include health post construction and the Community Drug Program in Ghandruk, Indian aid for building a health post in Sikles,

language. The interviews with households were carried out in their respective houses. Interview transcript were hand written in Nepali language and later on translated into English. The response to each question was read back to the household member to confirm their response. Each households interview lasted for 30 min.
Data collection period: The data collection was carried out from January--April 2014. A total of 134 households (134 houses) (Dhampus - 31 households, Rivan - 30 households, Ghandruk - 55 households and Manang - 18 households) were interviewed in the study.3.Key informant interviews with various stakeholders in public health:
To know different stakeholders' perspective on access to medicines, key informants were identified and interviewed from the study region. Key informants identified were members of village development committee, members of health facility managementessential medicines in the Annapurna region and lastly the bigger picture regarding medicines, society, the Nepalese health system and their interconnectedness.
Public health system in the Annapurna region and access to medicines {#Sec9}

### Households' characteristics and medicines use {#Sec10}
The majority (58%) of the households in the studied villages of the Annapurna region were headed by females. Most (72%) of the household heads had either not finished school level education or not undertaken any formal education. The main sources of household income in three villages (Rivan, Dhampus and Ghandruk) were a combination of remittances and agriculture (40%). However, in Manang village the biggest source of income was the combination of business and agriculture (44%).

healthcare and other services in the private sector. However, health camps and medicines used and donated by tourists also affected the way local people used healthcare and medicines. Households visited their local health facility demanding a certain type of medicine such as analgesic gels, antibiotic powder, medicated patches and many other dosage forms which they got from tourists during health camps.
The government's free basic healthcare programme provided limited free medicines and health services to the villages of the Annapurna region via a health post, sub-health post and primary healthcare centre. Moreover, the government also had programmes such as village health clinics and a telemedicine service. However, the key informants from the local community said that there were serious problems with the quality and coverage of public health servicesand medicines in their village, in the Annapurna region. They said that the government should improve the quality and coverage of health services and medicines, and should upgrade government health facilities so that people can get good primary healthcare services at the village level.
Discussion {#Sec15}
==========
The overall state of access to medicines in the studied villages of the Annapurna region was good in comparison to a Nepalese study (2014) in Kathmandu, Banke and Bardia districts which reported 50--77% availability and 30% stock out of medicines, and international studies in Kenya (2009) with 46 days stock-out of medicines and in Jamaica (2010) with 90 days stock-out of medicines and unaffordable medicines prices \[[@CR17]--[@CR19]\]. However, availability and stock out of medicines in the studied villages of Annapurna region was comparable to other places

of modern medicine and healthcare seeking practice of local people \[[@CR12]\].
A significant portion (42%) of households had members with chronic health problems. Most used out-of-pocket payment for accessing healthcare and buying essential medicines, including medicines for chronic health problems. Households used alternative resources such as NGO clinics, a tourist health facility, missionary hospitals and veteran healthcare beneficiary schemes of the Indian and the British Army to access healthcare and medicines. Some of these resources are quite unique to the Annapurna region. Since the public health system had real and perceived challenges with quality and coverage of health services and medicines, the poor and vulnerable groups had difficulties accessing treatment for both chronic and other healthcare problems, despite the fact that the current free basic healthcare programme targets thesegroups.
There is a need for the government to improve the free basic healthcare programme by improving the quality and coverage of health services and medicines and this study suggests that in order to do this the government should liaise with local community members in the delivery process. The local communities have contributed significantly to the development and delivery of health services and medicines in Nepal. Studies from India, Kenya, Mali and Cambodia also show that local communities can contribute to the delivery of health services (reproductive health services, pneumonia, tuberculosis etc.) and help to improve it \[[@CR30]--[@CR34]\]. However, the extent of contribution from local community need to be carefully planned and executed without overburdening them. Likewise, health aid agencies also contributed to the development and delivery of much-needed
