Jose Pons. Fitch informed Pons that he drove a truck, but the subject of drug trafficking never came up. Pons received several visitors while in the hospital, but no one named "Marcos" or anyone of Colombian nationality came to see him.

While Turner was visiting Fitch in the hospital, he instructed her to go to the Holiday Inn to receive a telephone call. Fitch told Turner to take a message and inform the caller that he was in the hospital. Turner followed Fitch's instructions and received a call from a man named "Marcos," who provided a beeper number at which he could be reached. The caller further informed Turner that "a young woman would come to the room atthe Holiday Inn and give [Turner] a key to a truck." A woman did, in fact, arrive at the Holiday Inn to deliver a key to a blue pick-up truck that was parked outside the Holiday Inn. Turner relayed the key and beeper number to Fitch.

When Fitch was released from the hospital, he and Turner returned to the Holiday Inn. Fitch and Turner then drove the blue pick-up from the Holiday Inn to an apartment where Fitch met the woman who had given the key to Turner. Fitch emerged from the apartment with the woman and a man, returned to the pick-up truck, and drove to Turner's sister's home. On the following morning, Turner and Fitch left for

saw his partners in Little Rock and became extremely distraught. The next morning, Fitch went to the FBI office in Little Rock, because "he needed to talk to some agents." Fitch told the agents that he had "been involved in a situation in which [he] was taking drugs or cocaine from Florida to Detroit, Michigan." He stated that he had fallen "in disfavor with those he was involved with" and "had taken three of the packages of cocaine from Detroit and brought them to Little Rock."
10
Fitch told the agents about his trip to Florida with Turner, and advised the agents that while in the hospital "he was approached by his roommate who he described as a Colombian male." Fitch saidthat this Colombian roommate introduced him to another Colombian named "Marcos," and that both men "offered him $3,000 to deliver the cocaine from Florida to the Detroit area." Fitch additionally indicated to the agents that "Marcos" gave him the pick-up truck he drove to Detroit, as well as the beeper number of "Rob." Fitch claimed that "Rob" instructed him to store the cocaine at Turner's house.
11
After Fitch had related the general history of his activities to the agents, he sought to strike a deal. The FBI agents referred him to Assistant United States Attorney Terry Derden. The AUSA entered into an informal immunity agreement signed by Fitch and the Assistant U.S. Attorney Derden on September 13, 1988. Although

The first defined as recommending the care to friends or family, willingness to receive the same care at their next delivery and willingness to pay for uterotonics at the next delivery. The latter defined as receiving the care at the correct time during third stage of labor and using correct methods as described in the WHO guidelines \[[@CR4]\].

An assistant sub-inspector of police in Karnataka’s Tumakuru has been arrested on the charge of raping a mentally challenged woman, officials said on Monday.
Tumakuru superintendent of police Isha Pant said the victim had left her home about 7pm on Saturday after she had a fight with her family. About 11pm Umesh, the ASI who was riding pillion on a bike with a home guard, spotted the victim and flagged her down.
“She gave Umesh the phone number of her brother, and he told her to get into a Bolero that was nearby on the pretext of dropping her home,” Pant said.
Police said he raped the woman in the moving vehicle before dropping her home about 3.30am.
Pant said the woman and her mother approached the

Minister's office - directed by Abbott and his chief of staff Peta Credlin - is causing ructions in the federal public service, responsible for delivering the new government's agenda. Already rattled by the looming axe that will fall on 12,000 jobs (many within the service doubt that many can be found by natural attrition alone), the public service is doubly rattled by the centralisation of decision-making within the Prime Minister's Office.
Public service sources report at least two ministers have made themselves known to their public servants only by conveying the message, "don't f--- it up". One section head said: "His [the minister's] office won't tell us much". "Pretty much all we've heard is, 'I want no f----ups'. No one wants to upset the minister, but he needs tothe moment will be to try to secure the trust of the incoming government against a background of distrust among some members of the government and particularly among its main supporting community, for instance in the business community and so on, a sense that the public service is not necessarily to be trusted to support a right-of-centre government as much as a left-of-centre government." The list of roadblocks is growing. In 2010, Treasury and 15 other departments released under freedom of information laws partly redacted versions of "red books", the briefs prepared in advance for a re-elected government to the media and to the then Coalition opposition.
But this year, requests for the Treasury, Prime Minister and Cabinet and Attorney-General's department "blue books", or advice prepared for an incoming

of modern cricket has provided income opportunities that make the risk of a cricketing career worthwhile, just as African Americans use professional basketball as a means to escape the degradations of the ghetto. In other words, commerce may be a more potent explanation than political democracy for the spread of cricket in India as a meritocratic activity.
Two final points. First, the book has a few editing errors, but I was taken aback to read that Dilip Sardesai made his Test debut before his Ranji Trophy debut. Actually, the senior Sardesai was in the Mumbai team led by Polly Umrigar that won the Ranji Trophy final against Rajasthan in March 1961. He was at the crease when Manohar Hardikar hit the winning runs. Sardesai made his Test debut thatto center to squash a first-and-third scoring chance.
"(Gray) got in a good flow and just pitched." Baylor coach Steve Smith said. "He can just pitch. He reminds me of (Roger) Clemens because of his three-pitch command and his command of the game. He is really good. It'll be interesting to see which one of those two guys goes first between him or the guy from Stanford (Mark Appel)."
It was Gray's second complete-game shutout of the season.
Oklahoma, which returned to its hotel to wait during the rain delay, was aggressive, putting runners in motion in the first three innings. The Sooners took a 1-0 lead when leadoff hitter Craig Akin scored from first on Jack Mayfield's hit-and-run double into the left field corner.

"Nazis are basically human demons," says Walt Williams, writer of the critically-acclaimed Spec Ops: The Line, at the Game Developer Conference. "Killing them is no big deal."
The enemies in Spec Ops: The Line, however, were meant to have character. Killing them was supposed to feel weighty. It was intended to be a thing which would give you pause, even if you were enjoying it.
Williams says he considers Spec Ops:The Line to have been an experiment, and one that he's still a little surprised by. What Williams and developer Yager set out to do with Spec Ops was prove that violence could be used as a core component of a game narrative, but not necessarily as an end to itself. They wanted to give the violence meaning.
"It was ahard game to get out the door," he says. "[But] the reaction to it was quite wonderful."
In most games, violence is the principle method by which a player interacts with the world. Shooting solves problems, whether those problems are puzzles or enemies. Williams believes that the effect of this use of violence not that game violence creates or desensitizes people to real-world violence, but that it desensitizes them to the violence in the game, rendering the acts themselves meaningless.
"When you sit down to play a shooter, you're signing up to hunt hundreds or thousands of people," Williams says. "In a game, we've allowed hunting to become not simply mundane, but run of the mill."
Williams grew up in Louisiana, where hunting is a a popular pastime. But he says

Story highlights Robert Marucci was suspended from school after his X-rated videos were found
Marucci, 18, says he took the job to help pay bills at home
Marucci was suspended because of threats, not videos, school district says
Teen was threatened when other students found videos, his mother says
An 18-year-old Florida student is set to return to class Wednesday after he says he was suspended when school officials learned of his pornographic online photos and videos.
Robert Marucci, a senior at Cocoa High School in Cocoa, Florida, told CNN affiliate WKMG that he picked up his X-rated gig to help his mom pay the bills.
His mom, Melyssa Lieb, said when students discovered the explicit material online, her son became a target. "He was bullied, he was threatened."
Then, according to Lieb, her sonwas suspended, because the principal didn't approve of his after-school activities.
Lieb told CNN affiliate WPLG , "I think that it is Dr. (Stephanie) Soliven's morals and her personal beliefs and I don't think that this is anybody's business except for my son's. The children at the school found (the porn), and she didn't do anything to stop it."
According to WPLG, Lieb said the principal told her, "He was expelled due to his explicit lifestyle career."
Brevard County Schools spokeswoman Michelle Irwin disputed the mother's account, saying that although a campus monitor overheard the chatter surrounding Marucci and his work, Marucci wasn't suspended as a result of his explicit videos. Instead he was suspended because of an investigation of the teen and "possible threats" he made, she said.

vertigo, nausea, impaired vision, fatigue, insomnia and memory loss. Heavily medicated, he played through eight more games, scoring five times. But he felt all wrong. "Doctors would tell me I had diabetes or that I had situational depression," Twellman said. "I thought, 'Something's not right here, somebody's not telling me exactly what should be said.'" He sat out for a year until his symptoms subsided. During the 2009 season, he returned and scored on a header in his first game back. His excited family and friends had traveled to the game and met him afterward. He told them he was done. His head felt "like a sponge." He went home and had the worst headache of his life. Twellman never played again, quitting a career that had yielded101 MLS goals, making him one of the league's poster boys and a national team regular at age 30. Twellman tumbled into a deep depression, took to alcohol and painkillers. He has recovered from all three and moved on. He has become the unofficial spokesman for concussion victims in soccer and has started a foundation, ThinkTaylor, to help educate people about the problem. He sits on the MLS Concussion Protocol Committee. After he dies, his brain will be donated to scientists researching the long-term effects of multiple concussions. To this day, Twellman is by no means symptom-free. "I have a headache every day that I wake up to," he said. He hasn't been able to work out since the day he quit because elevated heart rate trigger migraines.

The Constitution of the State of Nebraska distributes the judicial power of the state among the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, district courts, and county courts. All state courts operate under the administrative direction of the Supreme Court. In addition to the courts created by the Constitution, the Nebraska judicial system has two other courts – the separate juvenile courts located in Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy Counties, and a statewideChairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) amid an impasse over the health bill; they were worried moderates would be blamed if a deal brought conservative holdouts on board the bill.
But MacArthur pressed forward anyway and cut a deal with Meadows, although he said he was only negotiating for himself and not the larger Tuesday Group.
"I think [MacArthur] overstepped his bounds," the Tuesday Group lawmaker said.
MacArthur's compromise would allow states to apply for waivers from some ObamaCare requirements, a move that is seen as a concession to Freedom Caucus conservatives.
MacArthur, the former mayor of Randolph, N.J., is a relatively junior House member. He was first elected in 2014, and was named co-chairman of the centrist Tuesday Group in January.

This map is an approximated summation of the distribution range data for all 3 cottonmouth subspecies and includes data from several field guides and the monograph on the Agkistrodon species complex. When one thinks about snakes indigenous to the hurricane-prone areas in the eastern United States, the cottonmouth or water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) is probably the first species to come to mind. The cottonmouth is a large, dark, heavy-bodied snake that ranges throughout most of the southeastern and south-central United States ( Map 1 ). Cottonmouths are thelargest snakes in the New World Agkistrodon species complex and are the only members of the group that are semiaquatic.Three distinct subspecies are recognized: the eastern cottonmouth, the Florida cottonmouth, and the western cottonmouth.

Daniel (Elton John song)
"Daniel" is a song and ballad performed by Elton John. It appeared on the 1973 album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player. It was written by John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin. In the United Kingdom, the song reached no. 4 in the official chart. In the US the song reached No. 2 on the pop charts (only held from number one by "My Love" by Paul McCartney & Wings) and No. 1 on the adult contemporary charts for two weeks in the spring of 1973. In the United States, it was certified Gold in September 1995 and Platinum in May 2018 by the RIAA. In Canada, it became his second No. 1 single, following "Crocodile Rock" earlier in the year, holding thefor a player with two years under his belt. He is likely to remain the starter at Mike linebacker and continue to emerge as one of the leaders on defense.

A piece of provincial legislation introduced last week could radically change how the city of Winnipeg and surrounding municipalities plan and oversee zoning, land use and development.
Bill 48 — the Planning Amendment and City of Winnipeg Charter Amendment Act — would create a capital planning region around the city and include numerous communities just beyond the Perimeter Highway.
A municipal board would be allowed to hear appeals of land use decisions within each community. The legislation would also grant sweeping powers to the provincial minister of municipal relations.
A village, 13 rural municipalities, two towns and the cities Winnipeg and Selkirk would be in the capital planning region.
Winnipeg has faced criticism and scandal in its permits and inspections departments, and the province signaled last year it would bring in somesubdivisions and planning. They will still have their planning...they will still have their processes," Squires said.
St. Vital Coun. Brian Mayes told reporters Friday he hasn't had a chance to read through the legislation but intends to while business at city hall is shut down in response to the COVID 19 health emergency.
Property and planning chair Brian Mayes acknowledges problems in Winnipeg's appeals structure, but says he needs more time to review the province's legislation. (Jeff Stapleton/CBC )
Mayes, who is the chair of Winnipeg's property planning and development committee, admitted there have been problems with the city's appeals process for permits and zoning issues, and he expected the provincial legislation would speak to some of those issues.

and 'language of
parents'.
Two other issues arose. Lloyd Anderson said that (for deaf children
of hearing parents) "the mother tongue is not the same thing as the
language of the parents", and that a deaf child may "learn little bits
of things about a spoken language first", but they will not 'learn' a
spoken language first. Marie Egan said that deaf children, due to
their sometimes late exposure to a language "may not have a 'native
language'". Interesting in terms of innateness and Bickerton's
bioprogram.
However, perhaps the most cogent response was the suggestion that this
discussion belongs on the Sign Language Linguistics list
(SSLING-Ladmin.humberc.on.ca), so I'll end this with the suggestions
and references which were sent to me.

Initially, emergency vaccination was used to protect grand-parent and parent flocks. However, the disease spread to most Governorates within a few weeks and the country was declared endemic in July 2008. The veterinary authorities considered vaccination to be the most efficient tool in controlling this infectious disease. At this stage (March 2006), the decision was taken to vaccinate all commercial flocks, followed by vaccination of the household poultry, starting in May 2007.

The 1946–47 United States network television schedule was nominally from September of 1946 to the spring of 1947, but scheduling ideas were still being worked out and did not follow modern standards.
This was the first "network television season" in the United States, and only NBC and DuMont operated networks, though other companies—including Mutual, Paramount, CBS, and ABC—had plans to enter the medium. Although experimental broadcasting had begun in the 1930s and television stations had been commercially licensed beginning in 1941, it was not until 1946 that coaxial cableconnections allowed stations to share the same program schedules. Even then, only a few cities on the East Coast were connected.
Notable series on the schedule included the first network TV soap opera, Faraway Hill; the poorly-received but ambitious variety series, Hour Glass; the first network-televised game show, Cash and Carry (prior game shows had been single-station only); and the anthology series Kraft Television Theatre.
Few broadcasts made during this season exist in any archive, but segments of Campus Hoopla dating from 1947 exist in the Hubert Chain Collection of the earliest kinescopes still in existence, as preserved in the Library of Congress (Moving Image Collection). Audio recordings of live TV broadcasts of this show are also on file at the Library of Congress from the 1946–47 period, as

Das, who was expelled from BJP in connection with cash-for-vote scam in the Legislative Council polls in 2011, on Monday join Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP).
JKNPP chief Prof Bhim Singh and other senior leaders welcomed him to the party. On Sunday, BJP MLA from Basohli assembly constituency Jagdish Raj Sapolia quit the saffron outfit to join Congress. Das is among the seven sitting MLAs of BJP, who had not been given the ticket to contest the assembly elections.
"I was expelled from the party (BJP) in the cash-for-vote scam but I was always open to undergo a narco test to prove my innocence, but the party leadership did not listen to me," said Das after joining JKNPP.
He accused the BJP of using the 'expelled' MLAs during theparliamentary elections. "They took all the expelled MLAs back into the party fold and used us during parliamentary elections. We were party loyalists so we supported the party candidate, but the party later ditched us," Das claimed.
He claimed the people of Hiranagar support him and wanted him to contest the election as an Independent candidate. "But I wanted a party symbol as I don't have enough resources to contest elections as an Independent. As JKNPP is fighting for the rights of the Jammu region, I decided to join them," he said.
Welcoming the BJP MLA into his party, JKNPP chief Singh said, "The BJP has failed to keep its flock together, the party cannot keep its 11 MLAs together, how do you expect them to achieve its mission 44+."

December 1988, the defendants voted to terminate Jensen's employment with the company. In January 1989, the defendants removed Jensen as a director. The termination of Jensen as employee and director triggered the purchase of Jensen's stock under a stock retirement agreement and a deferred compensation agreement (collectively "the agreements").
Jensen alleges that the terminations were made so that the company could pay him a lower amount for his stock than it would have to pay if he continued his employment until he reached normal retirement age in 1991. Jensen further alleges that by the terms of the agreements, the stock purchase was to be triggered only when Jensen voluntarily elected a retirement date or when he reached the mandatory retirement age of sixtyfive. *762 Following his termination, Jensen electeda retirement date of 1991. Thus, he claims that his stock should be purchased at the 1991 price. Jensen also alleges that because he was wrongfully discharged, he is owed compensation for lost salary benefits from December 1988 to his elected retirement date in 1991.
Jensen relies on two legal arguments. He first argues that the directors breached their fiduciary duty to him as a minority shareholder by this "squeeze out" action that redounded to their financial benefit. Thus, they violated secs. 180.307 and 180.355, Stats. Second, he argues that he has a wrongful discharge cause of action because the defendants brought about the unlawful "squeeze out" by terminating his employment.
The defendants argue that the agreements provide that the company's purchase of an employee's stock can be triggered by

9, 1976, Weatherhead filed a complaint in the District Court alleging that Diversified conspired with Weatherhead employees to sell Weatherhead an inferior grade of copper and that in return for accepting the inferior copper, Weatherhead employees were paid bribes out of a "slush" fund. Weatherhead also alleged tortious interference with its employment contracts and violations of § 4 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 15.

As a result of the disclosures made during the 1974-1975 litigation, the Board of Directors of Diversified passed the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that, as this Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of this Corporation and its stockholders, the General Counsel of the Corporation be and he hereby is authorized, in behalf of this Board of Directors, to engageinto existence.

The majority takes note of the fact that Joseph B. Woodlief, who became president of Diversified two months after Law Firm was employed, testified by deposition that he did not believe that Law Firm "represented Diversified 'in the context of advice of attorney to client.' " As to that testimony, the majority after observing the date of Woodlief's employment in relation to the date of the employment of Law Firm goes on to say: "We cannot tell from his deposition whether he thought of attorney-client advice solely in the context of litigation. In any event, his characterization is only one fact to consider in determining whether the communications were privileged. The totality of the circumstances indicates that the communications were privileged." And the

Nigerian corporation. Each of the incorporators owns a 50% interest in AON.[2] On June 12, 1973, representatives of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC), and Mr. Hardin, as president of AON, signed an agreement entitled "Production Sharing Contract between Nigerian National Oil Corporation and Ashland Oil (Nigeria) Company". Neither AOI nor the two incorporators of AON signed the Production Sharing Contract, and it contains no reference to them. Under the Production Sharing Contract AON obtained rights and undertook obligations in connection with exploration, production and disposition of petroleum owned by the Nigerian government.
AON commenced drilling operations after the signing of the Production Sharing Contract. In connection with its drilling program, AON contracted with Japan Petroleum on February 22, 1974, for the use by AON of a petroleum offshoreacts of foreign subsidiaries which were organized for the purpose of holding petroleum rights granted by foreign governments. The courts reached somewhat different conclusions, based on the facts and allegations in each case. In Pauley Petroleum, Inc. v. Continental Oil Co., 43 Del. Ch. 366, 231 A.2d 450 (1967), aff'd., 239 A.2d 629 (Del.1968), the plaintiff sued Continental Oil, a Delaware corporation, for an injunction restraining Continental Oil and its agents from prosecuting certain suits in Mexico. The Mexican suits had been filed by Mexofina, the Mexican subsidiary of Continental. The court found that Mexofina was an active corporation which held oil development contracts with a Mexican government agency and which was the actual operator under some of those contracts. Mexofina had its own directors, officers, and records,

topic for parliament to tackle in Canada. A recently released report from the Governors Highway Safety Association, which pulled data from the National Highway Safety Administration, shows that the number of drivers testing positive for illegal drugs rose from 12.4% in 2001 to 15.1% between 2013 and 2014. Further, 38% of fatally injured occupants were found to have detectable levels of illegal drugs in their systems. This figure doesn't dole out the specifics of what role marijuana itself may have played in the aforementioned fatalities, but the advocacy group doesn't hide its opinion that marijuana appears to be a growing culprit behind instances of driving under the influence.

Miklos Verebres was jailed for life and must serve at least 28 years before he is released
At Carlisle Police HQ after his arrest for murder, he told officers: 'I know what I did. I wanted to kill her.'
Two months later, the defendant admitted the killing in court, but said he was guilty of manslaughter through a 'loss of control' rather than murder.
He then claimed he had arrived at Korosi's home after theattack and said he arrived there to be confronted by a knife-wielding stranger.
He said the killer had spoken his native Hungarian but the man was a stranger, and claimed the man threatened to kill him also if he spoke of what he had seen.
But the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict after just one hour and 45 minutes.
He was jailed for life and must serve at least 28 years before he is released.

More than two dozen electric cooperatives provide power to rural customers and residents of many South Dakota towns. Each customer is a member and owner of the co-op. The business of the co-op is directed by its general manager and governed by a board of directors, elected by its membership. Three power cooperatives – Basin, East River and Rushmore – are generation and transmission cooperatives. These organizations provide electricity to their member co-ops that, in turn, deliver the power to their customers.

Therefore, HFD feeding first leads to excess lipid incorporation in the stomach, and then causes the disruption of organelle homeostasis in the precancerous gastric mucosa. In addition, HFD promoted stem-cell divisions and the development of gastric malignancies in the gastric mucosa, accompanied by activation of β-catenin pathway.

South Korea halted anti-North Korea propaganda broadcasts across the tense border on Monday as officials from the two Koreas met again to work out details of their leaders' upcoming talks, expected to focuson the North's nuclear program.
Seoul had been blasting propaganda messages and K-pop songs from border loudspeakers since the North's fourth nuclear test in early 2016. The North quickly matched the South's action with its own border broadcasts and launches of balloons carrying anti-South Korea leaflets across the border.
South Korea turned off its broadcasts on Monday to ease military tensions and establish an environment for peaceful talks, Seoul's Defence Ministry said in a statement. It is believed to be the first time in more than two years that the broadcasts have been stopped.
It said Seoul hopes the decision will lead to both sides stopping slander and propaganda activities. Yonhap news agency reported that some North Korean broadcasts were sporadically heard in the South on Monday morning. South Korean defence

far. Spaniards universally loathed the Protestants, so worked hard to eject English and French adventurers and would be colonists wherever they could.
English settlers came in two rather distinct waves, with the first major arrivals coming to establish religious colonies free from the corrupting influences of Rome and the Church of England. A second wave had a much broader base of speculators, landless people looking to better themselves and Protestant Dissenters. This group really established the foundations of the United States (Samuel Huntington's book "Who are We?" goes into this in detail). Other waves of British settlers who came later had different political and cultural backgrounds, so could settle in America, or in Canada, which has a different political culture than the United States.

The Tigers upset leading Dunedin side Green Island by three wickets in yesterday's semifinal at the Metro ground at Queens Park to book a place in the final on December 16.
It was a real team performance from the Tigers, who were able to restrict Green Island to 149 all out, batting first. Several players then made valuable contributions with the bat as they reached their target with 11 balls to spare.
Green Island made a solid start to the game, putting on 43 runs for the opening stand, before losing two quick wickets.

Image caption The Garw valley had the highest death rate for a single week during the epidemic in the whole of England and Wales
But the way the flu could have a devastating impact in even the smallest of communities was illustrated in the tight mining communities of the Ogmore and Garw valleys.
In the last week of November, 57 people died. Translated into a death rate, this was the highest anywhere in England and Wales in any single week of theepidemic.
Image caption This map of the old counties of Wales shows how the influenza death rate varied
Victims included four members of the same family within four days of each other in neighbouring farms near the village of Llangeinor in the Garw valley.
Martha Richards, 30, died the same day as her father Morgan Rees; her mother died of shock and 'flu complications the day after Martha's husband Thomas also succumbed. A sister would die later that winter.
The Glamorgan Gazette reported "despondency" with many deaths reported and "hundreds laid up".
But other areas escaped comparatively lightly. Maesteg recorded "only" 50 deaths and Wales' lowest death rate at 2.1 per 1,000, and only 78 people died of flu in Barry, the second lowest death rate of anywhere in Wales.

Egypt has one of the oldest civilisations in the world. It has been in contact with many other civilisations and nations and has been through so many eras, starting from prehistoric age to the modern age, passing through so many ages such as; Pharonic, Roman, Greek, Islamic and many other ages. Because of this wide variation of ages, the continuous contact with other nations and the big number of conflicts Egypt had been through, at least 60 museums may be found in Egypt, mainly covering a wide area of these ages and conflicts.
Tutankhamun's burial mask is one of the major attractions of the Egyptian Museum.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), also known as the Giza Museum, is an under construction museum that will house the largestmaking falafel (also known as "ta‘miya"), which may have originated in Egypt and spread to other parts of the Middle East.

The planet was also further divided into different Provinces. Additionally, nation-like factions, e.g., the Paqu and the Navot, continued to exist on Bajor after the occupation and maintained clearly defined borders between each other. (DS9: "The Storyteller", "Shakaar", "What You Leave Behind" et al.)
In an alternate timeline, Bajor defeated the Cardassian Empire. Following their success, the Bajorans became more aggressive towards the Federation. In 2370, they destroyed a subspace telescope, believing that it was being used to spy on them. (TNG: "Parallels")
In DS9: "The Circle", a matte painting of Bajor was used to depict the planet, including a large pool of water which appears to ripple and sparkle on-camera, and a set designed by Ron Wilkinson was used as a war room for the Bajoran Militia.

In DS9: "Cardassians", yet another matte painting was involved in depicting Bajor. This illustration, showing a suburban home on the outskirts of the Bajoran capital city, was the second Bajor painting which Robert Stromberg created for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This time, moving elements included Cardassian pedestrians, played by Illusion Arts staff, and a waterfall. It was Stromberg who decided upon detailing the picture with a waterfall. He discovered the embellishment was required to make the illustration more interesting while painting the image. "The waterfall was animated by Lynn Legerwood, who used a combination of salt and very fine baking soda of the type that's used in fire hydrants to create the right look for it," Stromberg

A. Background Facts.
America West hired plaintiff as a shift supervisor at the Sea-Tac airport. His position included overseeing employee and safety issues. In April 2002, Barry Collier became plaintiff's direct supervisor. Before September 2003, plaintiff typically worked four days a week from 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 or 1:30 a.m. There was no overnight shift.
In September 2003, Collier decided that, because of deficiencies in the overnight operation, he would alter the shift schedules and create a new overnight shift. He allowed the four supervisors to select their shifts basedand finished his shift. Also on October 3, plaintiff met privately with Collier and explained that the overnight shift was causing him "severe anxiety," affecting his health, and rendering him unable to eat or sleep without medication.

the duties of the beach and pool person because of its physical demands: including pushing towel carts, lifting chairs and dumping trash bags. (Docket # 37, Ex. 20 at p. 35). In addition, Plaintiff claimed that she could not lift or carry heavy objects because she slipped and fell on the floor of the hotel in 1996, injuring her lower back. (Docket # 37, Ex. 30 (English Translation at Docket # 50)). As proof of her inability to perform the beach and pool person job, Plaintiff points to her referral to the State Insurance Fund of Puerto Rico ("SIF"), where she received a diagnosis and treatment for her injuries. On October 26, 1998, the SIF sent Defendant a letter concerning Plaintiff's condition, which stated:
Carmen Davila-Figueroa, a control cashiercontinental United States, such as Sears, Walmart, J.C. Penney, and other large chains. Such employers tend to be even more demanding than employers from the Island and ask that in addition to a high school degree that the employee be able to speak English or have some prior experience in a department store.
8. Employers in the Puerto Rico market look primarily at a prospective employee's experience. Even if the lack of high school would be tolerated, which is doubtful, the lack of experience in the field would exclude a candidate from consideration.
9. Employers in the Puerto Rico market are concerned about a prospective employee's experience because that very experience gives the employer the security that the employee will perform the job in a satisfactory manner.

Start These Tight Ends Instead
Heath Miller (vs. Oakland): The Raiders have played seven games this year, and in all but two of them, a tight end from the opposing team has finished, at worst, as the fourth-ranked PPR tight end of that particular week. The two instances where Oakland was fine against tight ends came against the Broncos and the Jets, two squads who haven't had much of a tight end presence this season.

According to the Army, the Purple Heart is awarded to American service members who are wounded or killed in action or die of wounds caused by enemy combatants. Barney served in the Marine Corps from 2002 to 2007. He was shot in the neck by a sniper while on patrol in Iraq in 2006.

American Samoa soccer player Jaiyah Saeula (born Johnny Saeula) was the world's first transgender national soccer player to compete in a men’s FIFA World Cup qualifying match in 2011. She identifies as Fa'afafine, a person in traditional Samoan culture born biologically male but embodying both masculine and feminine gender traits. In an open letter to her Samoan community, Saeula wrote last month about the Fa'afafine and the need to promote understanding and support for transgender people everywhere.
"A million transgender women can be visible in their societies and it truly helps whenthose women are well-known (ie: Janet Mock, Lavern Cox, Carmen Carrera, Caitlyn Jenner), but change comes from society members who do not understand or tolerate. They are the target," she wrote.

Danish golfer Mianne Bagger had gender-reassignment surgery in 1995, and became the second transgender woman ever to be accepted into a professional sporting competition, preceded only by tennis great Renee Richards. In 2004 the Ladies European Tour voted to allow Bagger to compete on the tour, a result of her hard lobbying for gender diversity in sports.

of other issues, on the question of validity of the transmutation of Barneson's separate property interests in the securities described above to ownership in Kaiser's name. The matter was submitted on the pleadings; the court excluded evidence by experts and ordered Barneson's expert's declaration and the transcript of Kaiser's deposition "removed from the binder."
After a hearing on June 23, 1997, the court filed a statement of decision concluding the "three transfers of security interests ... are effective. They do not fail due to the requirements of Family Code § 852(a) and Estate of MacDonald (1990) 51 Cal.3d 262, 272 Cal.Rptr. 153, 794 P.2d 911."[5] On July 11, the executor moved for certification of probable cause for immediate appeal of the trial court's decision.
On September 8, 1997, the trialthis appeal is the narrow question whether the requirements of section 852, subdivision (a), were satisfied.[7]
In MacDonald, supra, spouses who had each been married previously and had children by their prior marriages took action to divide their property into separate estates after the wife learned she had terminal cancer. Wishing to leave her property to her own children, the wife divided the couple's jointly held stock and sold her half; the couple then had their jointly held real property appraised and divided it. When the husband received a $266,557 disbursement from his pension plan, in which the wife possessed a community property interest, the money was placed in IRA accounts in his name, with the beneficiary designated as a revocable living trust the husband had established as beneficiary

while the other reported providing administrative and technical support. One respondent from a national level facility reported that staff from the hospital would directly provide screening services (CBE only) at commune level facilities (10 per year) while also training staff at lower levels of the system to conduct examinations independently. The respondent also stated that many screening services were offered directly at the hospitals, with different organisations invited to bring their staff and members for screening.
At provincial level, two of the three surveyed facilities reported active involvement in community screening programmes, and both reported to be leading the operations. District hospitals in one province described organising three screenings per year, with an additional screening organised by a higher level facility every year (funding dependent). In another province, theinvesting in rural health infrastructure \[[@CR7]\], could have a significant impact on improving breast cancer services. As stated by Yiengprugsawan (et.al) in their study on reorienting the delivery of NCD services in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, 'NCD care requires integration across all levels of health care: primary care screening of risk factors; timely intervention at secondary and sometimes tertiary and rehabilitation levels, and hospital discharge referrals back for management by primary care' \[[@CR22]\].
Authorising and supporting lower levels of the Vietnamese health system to conduct examinations and diagnostic tests may have a positive impact both in terms of reducing in-direct costs and travel for women in rural districts and in reducing overcrowding in central and provincial hospitals.

The old photo of Effie's wedding was left behind at a department store in Glasgow
Two weeks ago police in Glasgow issued an unusual lost property appeal. A collection of old photos, perhaps treasured family memorabilia, had been found at a department store. Solving the mystery revealed an unexpected link to one of the darkest moments in the history of the BBC.
There were a few clues. A sepia-tinted wedding photo, a group of smiling guests, women in wide-brimmed hats and a young boy in a kilt. It was taken by the "The Knightsbridge Photographic Bureau 245, Knightsbridge, S.W.7".
On the back were handwritten notes: "Effie's wedding (Mother's sister who died in London bombing 1941)" as well as "Uncle Harry" and "Aunt Annie".
Four smaller photos with the words "Millport 1952"written on the back showed groups of children called Moira, Grace, Helen, Rosemary, Janice and John.
They had been found in Glasgow's John Lewis store last year and handed in to police. With no-one coming forward to claim them and thinking they may have sentimental value, officers posted them on social media.
Newspapers and websites picked up the story and soon a team of amateur sleuths and genealogists were working on the puzzle. It wasn't long before the mystery began to unravel.
The Millport connection
Millport is a seaside town on the small island of Cumbrae, just off Scotland's west coast.
The first breakthrough came just hours after the story appeared on the BBC website. One of the Millport children got in touch.

The Debtor's individual case was filed under Chapter 7 on October 13, 2005. In January, 2006, the Debtor moved to convert his case to Chapter 11 and to jointly administer his case with the Corporation's and Leasing's cases. The motion was granted and the Debtor's case has been treated in parallel to the other two cases. On March 20, 2008, the consolidated case, as well as the Debtor's jointly administered case, was converted to Chapter 7 upon an uncontested motion filed by the United States Trustee.[1]
Schultz was employed as counsel for each of the debtors prior to their conversion to Chapter 7 on March 20, 2008. The affidavits accompanying the Schultz's application for employment disclosed payment of a pre-petition retainer of $20,000.00 by the Corporation, from which $3,500.00on November 21, 2005.
*4 On February 19, 2008, four days after the United States Trustee filed its Amended Motion to Convert, the Corporation paid Schultz $2,500 by a check drawn from the Corporation's debtor-in-possession account (the "Chapter 7 Retainer"). On April 7, 2008, forty-eight days after payment of the Chapter 7 Retainer and eighteen days after the cases were converted, Schultz filed two forms captioned "Disclosure of Compensation of Attorney for Debtor(s)" signed by Gordon N. Schultz and dated April 7, 2008 (the "Disclosure Statement(s)").[4] One Disclosure Statement is captioned with the Corporation's name and case number and indicates that the "debtor" paid $2,500.00 to Schultz as a "flat fee retainer". The second Disclosure Statement is also captioned with the Corporation's case number, but recites the Debtor's name

Vastra is a female Silurian warrior from prehistoric Earth who was awakened from hibernation in the 19th century when her lair was disturbed during the construction of the London Underground.[11] Initially enraged, she slaughtered five commuters before being pacified by the Doctor. She eventually overcame her race's hatred of humans and joined London society. She became a consulting detective to Scotland Yard, and a possible inspiration for the Sherlock Holmes stories.[11] Amongst her unseen adventures is her capture of Jack the Ripper, whom she eats (she mentions in "A Good Man Goes to War" that she found him "stringy, but tasty allthe same").[10] She hired a maid, Jenny Flint, who assists her in her investigations and who is also married to her.
Jenny's backstory in "The Battle of Demons Run: Two Days Later" (2013) shows she was turned away from her family because of her "preferences in companionship",[16] and saved from attackers by Vastra, who took her on as an employee. The Doctor was present at their initial meeting, during which Vastra recounts in "The Name of the Doctor" (2013) that he saved Jenny's life.[24] She shows herself to have acquired extremely formidable skills as a hand-to-hand combatant and a swordswoman. She is shown in all of her appearances to be entirely comfortable with post-19th century technologies, time travel, and the TARDIS; she is repeatedly seen using technology devices, and

set in 1893, in which they investigate a series of strange deaths. They travel to Yorkshire, where Jenny infiltrates a suspect community called Sweetville, led by Mrs Gillyflower. She finds the Eleventh Doctor, kept prisoner in Sweetville, and the trio reunites to help him defeat Mrs Gillyflower, by sabotaging the rocket she was planning to use to poison the skies. They discover that Clara appears to be alive (the Doctor's companion being another version of the one seen in "The Snowmen", coming from another era), but the Doctor does not explain why to Jenny, as he himself does not know the answer at this time.[8]
The three characters reappear in the seventh series finale "The Name of the Doctor", where they organise a meeting in a dream with Claraand River Song. During the "conference call", the three are captured by the Whisper Men, minions of the Great Intelligence, who uses them as bait to bring the Eleventh Doctor to his tomb on the planet Trenzalore. The Doctor unhesitatingly goes to rescue them, recalling their caring and concern for him in "The Snowmen" and feeling a duty towards them. After the Doctor arrives on Trenzalore with Clara, the Great Intelligence scatters itself across the Doctor's timeline to destroy him. As history changes, Jenny disappears and Strax forgets his friendship with Vastra and attacks her, forcing her to defend herself. She points a weapon at him and it glows, but Strax disappears suddenly, leaving Vastra bewildered and calling his name. After Clara enters the timestream to save the

buildings should use the design technique pioneered by Charles's architecture charity.
Separately they pressed Andy Burnham, chief secretary to the Treasury at the time, to consider the findings of a study into sustainable ways of increasing the housing supply "which provides support for the [prince's] Foundation's mission to promote timeless and ecological ways of planning, designing and building".
Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, said tonight he was surprised that the prince had taken such an extensive interest in activities across Whitehall. "He has to be very careful to respect the traditional separation between the democratically accountable parts of the constitution and the ceremonial parts. The Prince of Wales is entitled to ask about what is going on but if he is urging a particular point of view,then that's a different matter," Huhne said.
The ex-sports minister Richard Caborn said it was wrong to keep the letters secret. He said: "He is entitled to press his views. I would treat it no differently to anybody else's. If he is making his views known to ministers, they should be in the public domain. He can't have it both ways."
In future, however, it is possible that the government will choose never to disclose the prince's correspondence with ministers. Gordon Brown has ordered a block on the disclosure of correspondence sent to ministers by members of the royal family and todayhis clampdown on attempts to expose the scale of the prince's lobbying was boosted when Christopher Graham, the information commissioner, who adjudicates in secrecy disputes, blocked the release of

Up & Down Wall Street: Dr. Doom's Diagnosis -- Barron's
1 Apr 2017 10:00 am
by Randall W. Forsyth
There was a time when markets moved not on the televised utterances of Federal Reserve officials or billionaire money managers, but on a small printed report with the unassuming title "Comments on Credit." That was because it contained the latest insights from Henry Kaufman, Salomon Brothers' chief economist and head of the firm's nonpareil research efforts.
Some readers may not recognize the name of the man or the firm, since they were toddlers (or perhaps not yet born) in Salomon's heyday of the 1970s and '80s. During that time, Kaufman earned the sobriquet of Dr. Doom for his consistently downbeat -- but consistently prescient -- forecasts of inflation and interest rates rising tounprecedented levels well into the double digits. Anyone younger than 35 years old has lived only in a period of disinflation and generally falling interest rates.
So it was enlightening and enjoyable to catch up with Henry via telephone on the occasion of the publication of his latest book, Tectonic Shifts in Financial Markets: People, Policies, and Institutions. At my end, his voice sounded the same as it did when he addressed a New York City hotel ballroom packed with clients and media 3 1/2 decades ago to outline his eagerly anticipated forecast for the coming year. But his weekly "Comments" carried as much clout as his annual predictions did during those days of soaring bond yields and extreme volatility.
He later parted company with Salomon over disagreements about the

For 16 years, Samoa Joe made himself one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling without ever setting foot inside a WWE ring. He garnered a level of attention that few outside the company could've ever hoped for in the 2000s, and yet, Joe spent two decades having his tremendous matches in TNA and Ring of Honor rather than the WWE.
As time rolled along and opinions and approaches within the WWE changed, Samoa Joe finally got a chance. He still had to fight his way up through NXT and Joe ultimately tore it up there as well, becoming the first-ever two-time NXT champion while building tremendous rivalries with Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura. When he made it to Raw, Samoa Joe immediately got involved withthere formerly and people that work there currently, and you kind of base your ideas on what it's like there off of their experiences -- what they share with you.
"At the same time, I've always been a firm believer in [that]... I judge and I deal with people, companies, based on our business -- and honestly the WWE has been extremely professional in all my dealings with me, astonishingly so."
Even though Joe was out of commission for a few months at the start of 2018, he remained busy with another major step forward in his life and career with his biggest voice-acting role to date.
After lending his voice to the Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series and Dota 2, Samoa Joe took on the role of Predaking

and then she said, "Well, look, son of a bitch, if you're going to do that, just let me out of here." Wall then slowed down and while the car was still moving about five miles per hour she jumped from it. She got to her feet and started running toward the Main Street corner.
*983 Wall further, and expressly, denied having sexual intercourse with Ronda, and her accusations of violence.
It will be noted that the issue before the jury and the trial court was the credibility of Ronda. Indeed, it may be said that it was the only issue.
During the trial Wall's attorney, out of the jury's presence, made an offer of proof that one Colvin, admitted by Ronda to be an "ex-boyfriend," could testify that she hadtime when in Oakland, riding together in Colvin's car, the couple had an argument over a "date" he had had with another girl. Ronda became "hysterical" and "she started hitting me and kicking me, and as I was driving down the road she opened the door ... and tried to jump out." After a struggle she did jump out. The car was stopped and Colvin got out and ran after her while she was running down the street, "screaming and yelling [obscenities], and so forth, and people were looking out the windows." She demanded to be left alone, and she "told me if I didn't leave her alone she'd start screaming rape." (Italics added.) Colvin was able finally to induce Ronda to return to his car, but the

public (which it was not; misleadingly, Falk calls it a 'Nazi public relations ploy'), and third, that this order (or Bishop Galen's sermon that prompted it) was a relevant potential source of information on Spiegelgrund for Asperger (which it was not). Falk also argues that after only four previous transferals from the University Children's Clinic to Spiegelgrund with a deadly outcome, Asperger's colleagues (and himself) did not yet have any reason to suspect foul play. This argument is based on false premises, notably that Asperger's colleagues (including the director Franz Hamburger) were also in the dark regarding Spiegelgrund's true purpose and that information on the murders started to spread only after the 'halt' order.
In reality, the fact that psychiatric patients were dying in great numbers under suspicious circumstancesSpiegelgrund's purpose, it was certainly not the only source of information on the 'euthanasia' killings taking place practically before his eyes. Even if we assume that Asperger did not know the details of the 'child euthanasia' program at Spiegelgrund, he could not conceivably have been in the dark about the dangers faced by patients with mental disabilities at Steinhof psychiatric hospital, on the very premises of which Spiegelgrund was founded in July 1940. Spiegelgrund was not part of 'Aktion T4' (and therefore not affected by Hitler's 'halt' order), but Asperger and his contemporaries could not be expected to have known this at the time, given the secrecy surrounding the killing operations and the fact that in Vienna one person---Erwin Jekelius---was in charge both of coordinating T4 and running

Spiegelgrund. As it were, in June 1941 Asperger exposed Herta not only to the child euthanasia program at Spiegelgrund, but also to T4, which would only be suspended 2 months later.
The example of Anna Wödl, a nurse at the same General Hospital to which Asperger's clinic belonged, illustrates how implausible it is that Asperger could have been in the dark about the dangers faced by his patients. Wödl, who had a son with a mental disability placed in an institution near Vienna, clearly recognized the threat he was under. By July 1940---almost a year before Asperger signed the transferal of Herta---she had gathered enough information to identify the Berlin official responsible for coordinating the T4 program (Herbert Linden) and to personally go see him and plead (ultimately unsuccessfully) foris no evidence of any political trouble for Asperger after the procedure ended in his favor in June 1939. The only proven involvement of the Gestapo is that, when asked by the city's personnel office for relevant information concerning Asperger, they responded that he had a clean record (Czech [@CR8], p. 8). The later 'investigations' were inquiries that routinely accompanied every promotion or career move, not just in the case of Asperger, but of everyone in a similar position. Again, the impression conveyed in Falk's paper in this regard is a misrepresentation of the available sources, and of the historical context. The fact remains that the only source for Asperger's alleged persecution by the Gestapo is Asperger himself. The 1957 speech presented by Falk as 'new evidence' does not

winFriday Nov 23 09:43 AEDTTwo out of three polls released on the eve of the federal election predict a clear win for Labor, but a third shows John Howard still in with a chance.
The latest Galaxy poll has Prime Minister John Howard in with a chance, while a Nielsen poll has the coalition facing annihilation, and a Morgan poll says the ALP will win in a close contest despite a swing towards the coalition.
The telephone poll conducted by Roy Morgan research on November 21 and 22 showed that on a two-party preferred, support for the coalition had risen one point to 45.5 per cent, while support for the ALP had dropped one point to 54.5 per cent.
This represented a swing of 7.2 points to the ALP since the2004 Federal election, spokesman Gary Morgan said.
However, in 22 key coalition marginal seats, where Labor needed to grabbed 16 seats to win government, the swing was less at 5.2 points to the ALP, he said.
Sixty-three per cent of voters polled thought the ALP would win Saturday's federal election, compared to 22.5 per cent who backed the coalition to win, while 14.5 per cent were undecided.
"With a day to go, the ALP is set to win the federal election," Mr Morgan said.
"Marginal seat polling in 22 coalition seats finds the ALP three per cent ahead: 51.5 per cent compared to (the coalition's) 48.5 per cent," he said.
"This suggests an ALP gain of between 14 and 20 seats even with the likelihood of Labor losing a seat in Western Australia."

If the obscured green car on Instagram is a fake, it's a very elaborate fake. Though, Land Rover's spokesperson telling us "[t]hrough the development of any new vehicle many design options are considered," could imply that it's not the final product.
The new Defender replaces the ancient, but much-loved truck whose origins dated back to the original Series 1 Land Rover of 1948. It will ride on the aluminum unibody architecture that underpins other Land Rover models, including the Range Rover, and for the first time since 1997, it will be sold in the US.

his work at Textron in 1995 as Vice President of Strategy and International. In that position, he was required to travel two weeks out of every month, both domestically and internationally.
Petitioner was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa ("RP") at the age of 19. According to Petitioner, the condition is an inherited disease that leads to the gradual deterioration of the retina, starting from the periphery and ending in total blindness. *204 Petitioner testified that the disease affects his night vision, makes attendance at social and business events difficult, and hampers his ability to travel, particularly in airports or crowded places. Petitioner had an eye exam in January 2001, and at that time, his doctor found that his RP had progressed to the point that Petitioner was determined to bepeople.
Petitioner's ex-wife, Sophia Meyersiek, also testified about the difficulties Petitioner has experienced as a result of his RP. She stated that Petitioner was impaired as early as the 1970s, and that while Petitioner was employed at GE during the 1980s and 1990s, he would return from business trips with bruises on his forehead because he had walked into a telephone post or other such obstacles. She described the continued degeneration of Petitioner's condition throughout the 1990s, where she would have to take Petitioner by the elbow in social settings and put his dinner plate directly in front of him. She said that Petitioner drove an automobile now and then because he was "strong-headed" and insisted on driving occasionally, but that she had driven him to work regularly since

the 1980s.
The Meyersieks divorced in February 2001; however, Petitioner now lives in an apartment in his ex-wife's house. Mrs. Meyersiek stated that the relationship is platonic and that she provides him with an apartment because he cannot function as a result of his vision loss.
Respondents contend that Petitioner has failed to establish that he is a person of good moral character. In particular, Respondents point to certain representations made by Petitioner to UNUM Provident Corporation ("UNUM"), the long-term disability carrier which initially found Petitioner to be disabled, but ultimately discontinued paying him long-term disability benefits.
Petitioner submitted his initial written application to UNUM on July 2, 2001. In that application, Petitioner stated that he had been unable to work because of his RP since June 4, 2001. He furtherindicated on the application form that he did not expect to return to either part-time or full-time employment. By signing the form, Petitioner attested that his statements were "true and complete."
Prior to filing with UNUM, on June 7, 2001, Petitioner was formally terminated for cause by Textron. On August 22, 2001, the manager of Benefit Programs for Textron completed and forwarded to UNUM the "Employer Section" portion of Petitioner's long-term disability benefits application. She listed June 7, 2001 as Petitioner's "last day worked." She included a 3-page job description for "Vice President, Strategy and International" and several pages of Petitioner's medical records.
On January 3, 2002, Petitioner was notified by UNUM that his claim for long-term disability benefits had been approved *205 retroactive to December 5, 2001. Petitioner began

Any child under 18 years old who is related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. Related children of the householder include ever-married as well as never-married children. Children, by definition, exclude persons under 18 years who maintain households or are spouses or unmarried partners of householders.
Excerpt from:
Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006-2010 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
The data on age were derived from answers to Question 4. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years at the timeof Veterans Affairs uses age to develop its mandated state projections on the need for hospitals, nursing homes, cemeteries, domiciliary services, and other benefits for veterans. For more information on the use of age data in Federal programs, please visit the ACS website.
The median age is the age that divides the population into two equal-size groups. Half of the population is older than the median age and half is younger. Median age is based on a standard distribution of the population by single years of age and is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. (See the sections on "Standard Distributions" and "Medians" under "Derived Measures.")
The 1996-2002 American Community Survey question asked for month, day, and year of birth before age. Since 2003, the American Community Survey

the injuries were, to a reasonable medical probability, a result of the accident. The WCJ found that the shoulder injury Worker sustained on June 25, 1991 (the "June 25 fall"), at home in the bathroom while drying off after a shower when she fell back against the wall, was not in the course and scope of Worker's employment with Employer, did not arise out of her employment with Employer, and was not a natural and direct result of the March 19 accident at work. The WCJ also found that the risk of the June 25 fall was not incident to Worker's employment and that Worker's permanent impairment to the right shoulder of 12% was caused by the June 25 fall at home, which was not causally related toof the shower in her bathroom at home onto a fully carpeted floor, lost her balance or became dizzy when she straightened up after wiping the bottom of her feet, and fell back against the bathroom wall, fracturing her right shoulder. As the cause of the fall, Employer points to Worker's prior history of dizziness, hypertension, and high blood pressure, and a prior foot pain problem in Worker's medical records, which Worker failed to disclose in interrogatories *44 and, with regard specifically to dizziness, in her deposition.
Dr. Pachelli testified that "[t]he fall itself, the event of falling down was probably not related to the initial injury at work[.]" Dr. Pachelli made a medical note and testified at his deposition that Worker's shoulder was osteopenic since the elbow fracture,

But turning a profit on its blockbuster exclusive NHL deal will inevitably turn on the wireless phone and cable giant monetizing viewership regardless of digital platform.

The canonical distinction between Lilith and Eve isdone better or worse since 1948?
Contrary to popular belief - spread by her - she is NOT Jewish, and was raised Catholic!
Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Avraham, they live in the land of Ashkenaz.
The word Lillith - Lailat - is literally the feminine form of the Hebrew word for 'Night' and nothing more than myth like succubi and such. She doesn't appear in any Biblical literature, only post-Biblical writings.
Eli
Lillith = the moon goddess, goddess of the home (tent).
as distinct from YHWH, the masculine "public face" of the sun god, invented by the abram dynasty for the purposes of PR interactions with the goy.
the "divine lineage" of hebrewism is merely recycled myths and tribal rituals common to the region, retold and tweaked over cenurties developed as cover for action

Case presentation
=================
Case 1
------
An 18-year-old male was evaluated in October of 2011 in northwestern Minnesota in consultation with neurology service for a significant headache for two days and one episode of seizure. He was at work, cutting trees, and was suspended from a harness, where he suddenly experienced clenching of his right upper extremity. He then had a witnessed generalized convulsive seizure while hanging in the air and required assistance to be lowered to the ground. He had an associated headache, with no meningismus. Computerized tomography scan (CT scan) of the brain was unremarkable. Treatment was deferred at that point, as it was a single isolated seizure event. Subsequently he noticed worsening of his headache. Magnetic Resonance

during his admission. POWV antibody panel was collected from serum. The patient gradually improved with return of his strength. He was subsequently discharged to a skilled nursing facility for further rehabilitation. After discharge from the hospital, IgM for POWV (MAC-EIA) was subsequently positive (3 weeks after presentation). He continued to improve neurologically. However, upon his last follow up at four months after his hospitalization he continued to have quadriceps muscle weakness and requires use of arm to get up from chair and with restriction of range of motion of lower limb at knee joint due to his weakness.

Subsequently his serum analysis wasMaria Butina, a 30-year-old Russian gun rights activist who pleaded guilty in December to conspiracy to act as a foreign agent, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Friday and will be subject to deportation upon her release.
After months of debate between the government and the defense over the nature and seriousness of Butina's crime -- and one emotional courtroom plea from Butina herself -- it was Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia who had the final word.
Butina struck a remorseful note in her prepared remarks to the judge, begging for "mercy" and "the chance to go home and restart [her] life."
"I came to the United States not under any orders, but with hope, and now nothing remains but penitence,"

circle in the midst of a presidential campaign.
Butina initially pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and failure to register as a foreign agent, but she later agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy and cooperate with federal, state and local authorities in any ongoing investigations.
She admitted, as part of the deal, that she and Erickson "agreed and conspired, with a Russian government official ('Russian Official') and at least one other person, for Butina to act in the United States under the direction of Russian Official without prior notification to the Attorney General."
Based on the description, the "Russian Official" appears to be Alexander Torshin, deputy governor of the Russian Central Bank and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Under his direction, the agreement said, she "sought toestablish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over U.S. politics."
It is unclear what Butina's cooperation might have entailed, but federal prosecutors in Washington have reportedly notified Erickson, who was indicted on wire fraud and money laundering charges in South Dakota in February, that he is also the target of a separate investigation.
After the deal, however, the government and the defense were rarely in agreement, as they offered opposing theories of the case ahead of her sentencing.
Butina's lawyers, seeking leniency, portrayed her offense as one of ignorance, a crime of curiosity committed by an ambitious recent graduate. Two dozen character letters -- submitted to the court from family, friends and an array of former associates both in the United States and Russia -- attested to

her idealism and naivety.
The government, on the other hand, connected her activities to "Russia's broader scheme to acquire information and establish relationships and communication channels that can be exploited to the Russian Federation's benefit," actions that "had the potential to damage the national security of the United States."
Butina might not have been a trained intelligence officer operating as "a spy in the traditional sense," the government said, but rather a so-called "access agent," capable of "spotting and assessing" individuals who "have the ability to influence policy in a foreign power's favor."
"Acquiring information valuable to a foreign power does not necessarily involve collecting classified documents or engaging in cloak-and-dagger activities," prosecutors said. "[Her activities] could form the basis of other forms of intelligence operations, or targeting, in the future."
TheA note on the making of culinary tradition--an example of modern Japan.
This article deals with the transition of Japanese food culture in the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. It explains the three main stages of this transition, namely the adoption of Western haute cuisine by the Japanese élite, the diffusion of Western ingredients, dishes and cookery techniques among the urban middle class, and the popularization of the new Japanese-Western hybrid cuisine by the military. This new cuisine began to acquire the status of culinary "tradition" from the 1950s onwards. Dietary changes in modern Japan were to a large extent a consequence of deliberate policies of the government. In the early stage, Westernization of the élite's diet was regarded as necessary in order to

incarceration by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The United States Probation Office for the Northern District of California filed a petition alleging Cholico had also violated the special condition of his supervised release by attempting to re-enter the United States. After Cholico had served his sentence for the Southern District conviction, he was returned to the Northern District on the violation petition.

At the violation petition hearing, Cholico raised an asapplied constitutional challenge to his incarceration under §§ 3583. The district court rejected Cholico's argument. Based on Cholico's admission of attempted re-entry, the district court revoked Cholico's supervised release for violation of the special condition and sentenced him to six months imprisonment.

Howe of The Herald, Lewis is on pace to be ready for the beginning of camp.
The Patriots could take an approach similar to what the Rams did this past year with Todd Gurley, who had ACL surgery in late November 2014. Gurley was held out of the preseason and made his debut in late September, about 10 months removed from surgery.
This is a tough injury for any player, but it's particularly tough for Lewis, whose game is predicated on explosive lateral movements and quick cuts. The Patriots hope he can regain his 2015 form this upcoming season.
JAMES WHITE: White filled in well for Lewis, but didn't give the Patriots much as a runner. He displayed good elusiveness and vision after the catch, and had a penchant for makingbig plays despite limited touches. White should return as Lewis' backup next season.
BRANDON BOLDEN: A core special teamer, Bolden is signed through 2016. He has versatility as a backup running back. Bill Belichick has lauded Bolden's ability to "play on all four downs."
TYLER GAFFNEY: Gaffney's 2014 and 2015 seasons were over before they started. He reverted to the injured reserve on Aug. 13 after being waived with an injury designation. Gaffney was hurt in the Pats' first full contact practice of training camp. He is signed through 2017 and will likely be in camp with a chance to earn a roster spot.

"But evaluating a route isn't as simple as finding visible gaps," the company explained in a Medium blog post. "In a multimodal city, users mix various modes together and have complex journeys.

Board found Flagner guilty of disobeying the order and sentenced him to time in a disciplinary isolation unit. On June 21, 1996, Flagner received another direct order from Defendant Couch to comply with the grooming regulation. Flagner then filed a grievance on June 28, 1996, which was reviewed by Defendant David Gardner, Inspector of Institutional Services, on July 11, 1996. In his disposition, Defendant Gardner stated that Flagner was in violation of §5120-9-25(D) and was required to comply with the regulation. Failure to comply would subject Flagner to "appropriate disciplinary action [] [w]hich may include requiring [Flagner's] hair to be cut or trim[med] against [his] will." Joint Appendix ("J.A.") at 135 (Disposition of Grievance Form). Flagner continued to refuse to comply with the regulation. On July 29, 1996and in April 1998, the defendants forcibly cut Flagner's beard and sidelocks. Between the time of Flagner's forced cuttings in July 1996 and April 1998, the defendants exempted him and four Native American inmates from the grooming regulation.

Defendant Curtis Wingard, the warden of MaCI testified in his deposition that exempting Flagner from the grooming regulation did not pose additional security problems at MaCI; no additional security precautions were taken with Flagner in excess of the security measures taken with inmates who complied with the grooming regulation. Defendant Wingard also testified that MaCI has neither been required to provide additional security, nor to approve additional overtime to provide security for Flagner and the four Native Americans who were exempted from the grooming regulation.

The FBI report released this past July revealed that President Obama used a pseudonym in his email correspondence with Clinton. (In her April 5, 2016 interview with the FBI, Clinton aide Huma Abedin was shown an email chain from June 28, 2012. The FBI report said: "ABEDIN did not recognize the name of the sender. Once informed that the sender's name is believed to be a pseudonym used by the president, ABEDIN exlaimed: 'How is this not classified?'")
President Obama told CBS News on March 7, 2015 that he learned about Clinton's use of a private email server “the same time everybody else learned it, through news reports."

Another senior Catholic figure in Chile, Bishop Alejandro Goic of Rancagua, criticised Bishop Barros's continuing role in the Church, telling T13 radio: "It left me with a bitter taste that a brother of mine occupied a leading role [in the abuse scandal] that was not good."
He added: "The victims are the priority, they should be the main concern of the Church."
The state co-ordinator for the Pope's visit to Chile, Benito Baranda, told Radio Cooperativa that Bishop Barros "should have stopped being a bishop a long time ago" and that his presence was damaging the Church.
Writing in La Tercera newspaper, journalist Ascanio Cavallo said the Pope's stance could "multiply the wrath" of thoseOntogeny of intracellular isosmotic regulation in the european lobster Homarus gammarus (L.).
Intracellular free amino acids were measured in the abdominal muscle of the three larval instars, postlarvae, and juveniles of the lobster Homarus gammarus, acclimated to seawater (35 per thousand) and to a dilute medium (22 per thousand), to study intracellular isosmotic regulation throughout the development of this species. Transfer to low salinity was followed by a highly significant drop of free amino acids level in all developmental stages. The main regulated amino acids were glycine, proline, and alanine. The level of regulation of total free amino acids changed at metamorphosis: the decrease in total free amino acids at low salinity was 46% in the three larval instars, but it was only 29% in postlarvae and 20% in

Good luck: Luther was paired up with Bloom's partner DS Emma Lane (played by Rose Leslie). Given Luther's track record, you fear for her safety and her future...
Earlier Bloom had visited Luther's clifftop gaff to ask him about Alice.
'Pretty close to the edge!'he had cried.
'Closer and closer every day,' Luther muttered. This (in case we hadn't got the message) was how he liked it.
The mystery of Luther's new coat was quickly solved. It was not a coat it was a PARKA. But otherwise Luther was the same - a big bear of a man; a Cockney Columbo; his taciturn macho mumble, stylish stubble, and shambling manner remained.
Alice though was dead, at least according to Interpol. She had been seen in Berlin, Madrid, and Antwerp where she had drowned, said Bloom, showing him a photograph of a body in the water.
'No she's not,' shrugged Luther, stunned. 'It looks like her but it's not her.'
Bloom explained that the autopsy had confirmed her identity from prints and dental records.

I think the American media at this point is so sensitive to being tagged as "liberal" that they are bending over backwards to be "fair and balanced" - even when, in the end, they become nothing of the sort.
On one hand, the casualty counts in Iraq have been vastly underreported. During the war itself (before "major combat action" ceased), the death of one soldier was guaranteed to lead the news. Now you can have three, four killed a day, and it gets played inside.

BUSINESSDESK: The Court of Appeal has overturned a High Court ruling and reinstated the Commerce Commission's case against Australia's Visy Board and a former executive.
The regulator had appealed the April 2011 ruling by Justice Paul Heath that reduced the number of claims it could pursue against Visy and its former general manager Rod Carroll, arguing the High Court erred in rejecting a much wider pattern of alleged cartel behaviour in the New Zealand packaging market.
The Federal Court of Australia has already imposed penalties of $A36 million against Visy Board and its owner, Richard Pratt, and $A500,000 against Mr Carroll.
But the company and the executive have denied the cartel arrangements extended to New Zealand and objected to the commission pursuing its claims in New Zealand, according to the regulator'sstatement.
"This is an important ruling for the commission," chairman Mark Berry says. "We challenged the High Court decision because we felt it set an unrealistically high bar for us to take enforcement action against overseas defendants."
Mr Berry says that, in particular, the Court of Appeal "clarified that if a defendant is resident in or carrying on business in New Zealand, then its conduct offshore will be covered by the Commerce Act provided that conduct 'relates to' New Zealand markets".
That would help the regulator "take effective enforcement action against cartel conduct targeting New Zealand".
The commission's argument is that Visy and rival Amcor had a broad understanding in Australia, referred to as the "over-arching understanding", on market sharing and price fixing which was subsequently extended to New Zealand.

Hugo Chavez skipped the UN General Assembly opening to visit China and said Beijing is more relevant than New York. Venezuela and Bolivia expelled their US ambassadors, and Brazil's Lula da Silva railed against an American regional naval presence and said his nation's warships must be on alert in response. He's also furious at Wall Street and Washington for the current crisis and said: "We did what we were supposed to do to get our house in order. They spent years telling us what to do and they themselvesdidn't do it."
Argentina's Christina Fernandez de Kirchner was also bitter in stating: "We are witnessing the First World, which at one point had been painted as a mecca we should strive to reach, popping like a bubble."

And civile yere with heaven agree.

The theme of the poem is that of restoring earthly affairs
to an original harmony. This happens in several different
ways; there are, in all, seven restorations proposed in
Dee's short poem, and it will be useful to treat them one
by one.
Dee's firstrestoration is that of the calendar to its
position at the time of Christ. He writes here of
"Christ, chief root of time", and elsewhere in the
treatise of Christ's birth as "the 'Radix of Time'". The
reference to "the sun of Christ birth day" indicates that
Dee regarded this as of astrological significance. Dee
had gone so far in his as to calculate that Christ was
born in a leap year ("bissext"), and one suspects that he
had been indulging in the illegal practice of casting the
horoscope of the son of God. Dee saw religious truth and
arcane science as aspects of the same revelation, and it
was essential to maintain a common framework for both; the
calendar was part of this framework.
Secondly, restoring the calendar to its position at the
time of Christ had close parallels with the

an identity between
numbering and truth. The force thus becomes apparent of
Dee's claim that his calendar reform "Thus made the truth
to come to light,/And civile yere with heaven agree".
The reformed calendar would have played a significant part
in what Seymour has called "a British duty to bring order
to a savage world".[26] Here lies Dee's fifth
restoration: of Britain to her historic imperial role,
under (as the verse has it) "Elizabeth, our Empress
bright". All Christendom, Dee believed, would follow
"Queen Elizabeth's perpetual calendar", to the advantage
of international trade. This would be a matter of more
than mere harmony, however. Dee had carefully adjusted
his calculations of Christ's birth from the meridian of
Bethlehem to that of London, so that "a marvelous
Concordance (to our great Confort) may hereafter appear of
the like places of the Sun orderly at theLondon
Meridian".[27] This was not merely a protestant or an
Elizabethan calendar; it was an imperial calendar. For
the full significance of this aspect of Dee's treatise,
which is present as an overarching assumption, we need to
look at Dee's historical writings in the preceding years.
Dee has been credited with the popularisation, and one of
the earliest uses, of the term "British empire". This was
well before the union of the crowns of England and
Scotland gave the term "British" its modern use; Dee's
Britain was the ancient Britain of Arthur, straddling
England and Wales. Dee had close contacts with the
leading antiquaries of his day. He followed Polydore
Vergil in seeing Britain's founding in the landing of
Brutus after the Trojan wars. Arthur was the restorer of
this ancient empire of Britain, and this empire had in
turn devolved by descent upon

on
further explorations. Indeed, when Walsingham dropped by
on 23 January 1583 to (we may surmise) retrieve his copy
of the papal bull reforming the calendar, he found Dee and
Adrian Gilbert mulling over plans for a north-west
passage, and joined in with the discussion, which was
continued over the following days and weeks.[30]
Dee, in summary, foresaw "an Incomparable Ilandish
monarchy" over "all the northern Ilands" (in practice,
virtually the entire hemisphere): in a phrase pregnant
with meaning, "a Cosmographicall Reformation".[31]
"Cosmographie", the mapping of the world, had featured in
Dee's Mathematicall Praeface as an art which "matcheth
Heauen, and the Earth, in one frame, and aptly applieth
parts Correspondent: So, as the Heauenly Globe, may (in
practise) be duely described upon the Geographicall, and
Hydrographicall Globe".[32] As Sherman puts it, "no-one
went so far as Dee in combining geometrical symmetry,
divine will, and theroyal person to justify England's
nascent maritime empire".[33] The keystone of this whole
enterprise was Dee's "a new and correct Elizabethan
calendar", anchored on the London meridian. It was his
faith in the British empire as much as his faith in the
protestant religion which led him to believe that the
Elizabethan calendar would in time be adopted everywhere.
Dee's sixth restoration was that of control of the
calendar, out of the hands of the bishop of Rome and into
those of a christian empress, successor and imitator of
Constantine. The Julian calendar was "Caesar's false
hypothesis", to be corrected by "Caesar's Pere, our true
Empress" Elizabeth. The message was obvious to a careful
reader: Caesar, a secular dictator, had instituted a false
calendar; pope Gregory, a religious dictator, had reformed
it badly; Elizabeth, a just Christian prince, would
restore the true calendar, balancing

began with a decent enough dedication to
Burghley, it ended with a poem and a formal petition to
the queen to proclaim "Queen Elizabeth's perpetual
calendar" to the world. It marked the apex of his courtly
ambitions, the moment when Dee saw his last and best
chance to link his name in calendrical perpetuity with
that of the successor of Caesar and Constantine, and to
become the philosopher-general of the Christian world.
Dee's attempt to gain patronage through the calendar
treatise, however, backfired. Six years before, in 1576,
the queen had at last agreed to allow Dee the secure
income he had sought for so long: the lord chancellor
informed the archbishop of Canterbury that the queen
wanted Dee to have the livings of two rectories, worth
around £1,000 a year. It was 1582 before Grindal got
round to granting them. Dee explainedthe fate of this
belated transaction in his autobiography: "When I should have followed the getting out of the greate
seal unto it, I was wholly imployed (at her Majestie's and
the right honourable the Privy Counsellours, their
commandment) about the Reformation of the Kalender. Which
office anciently did appertaine to the bishops. . . as
also I had small thankes at their handes anyway, nay,
great hindrance ..."[39]
Dee, in short, was so busy on his Playne discourse
that he forgot to get the grant sealed, and lost it.
Financial injury had been added to the insult of rejection
of his proposals. It is not surprising that he soon gave
up hope of achieving due patronage and recognition in
England. Dee had been conversing with angels since
November 1581. When in May 1583, a month after the
calendar debacle, Count Laski arrived

While Willingham these days is best known for his DC/Vertigo series Fables, and many fans fondly recall Elementals, his groundbreaking series from Comico, Pantheon‘s independent publication and unsteady publishing schedule (13 issues took six years) may have contributed to its lack of impact.

It was already dark by the time America's last official state band arrived. It was just after 7 p.m. on a recent Wednesday when the group filed into the Minnesota Department of Transportation building's cafeteria, down the street from the state Capitol in St. Paul, pushing aside lunch tables and salt and pepper shakers to make way for their gear: sheet music, stands, flutes, timpanis, tubas and trumpets. In front of silverware and sugar packets, they set up a makeshift conductor's stand so they could practice. Tonight's material, Gustav Mahler’s 4th Symphony, was tricky.

Then, in 2015, the commissioner of the Department of Transportation discovered that the band was playing in the cafeteria at night.

Those attempts are indicative of KKK supporters in the area, experts say, but are not likely linked to an active group in the Tallahassee area. Recruiting fliers can be printed from the group's website.
"A group and an ideology of white supremacy that we thought we had defeated in the 60s is back in the gates of the people," said SDS member Shivaani Ehsan. "They are back in our neighborhoods, and they are back to spread their hate."
Last year, the letters "KKK" were spray painted on three predominantly black churches in Wakulla County plunging the rural area into a discussion about racismin the Panhandle and unity among its citizens.
The TAKKK's national leader, Imperial Wizard Frank Ancona told the Tallahassee Democrat the fliers were a targeted recruitment effort across the Panhandle, but the group is not focused on the hate that once marked the group's history.
Tallahassee Police and the Leon County Sheriff's Office did not investigate the distribution of the fliers in March because the KKK had not violated any laws, despite their upsetting nature.
Some are not as lenient with the message they send.
"I know some people say the KKK has whatever free speech rights. (Expletive) that," said SDS leader Zachary Schultz. "They should not be allowed to spread their hate and racist propaganda in our communities, in our cities, and we will stop them."

Fate of quinolizidine alkaloids through three trophic levels:Laburnum anagyroides (Leguminosae) and associated organisms.
The quinolizidine alkaloids (QA) of golden rain,Laburnum anagyroides, and those of phytophagous insects associated with the plant, as well as of parasitoids of the latter, were analyzed by capillary GLC and GLC-MS. The alkaloid content in samples of vegetative plant parts was high at the beginning of the season, then decreased, while that of reproductive organs was high throughout flowering, pod formation, and maturation. The analyses showed that the QA of the plant passed through two higher trophic levels (herbivorous insects and their parasitoids) and that the alkaloid pattern changed little during the passage. The alkaloids were present in two phytophagous insect species associated with golden rain: the predispersal seed predator,Bruchidius villosus [5-13μg/g fresh weight (fw)],Whales and the oil and gas industry have co-existed in Taranaki for decades.

Environmentalists Worry About Synthetic Life (26th May, 2010)
A scientist who has created a synthetic life form has put the science world in a spin. Geneticist Craig Venter unveiled a major scientific breakthrough last week when he showed the world a new form of life he created in the laboratory. He made his artificial creation from a stem cell, biochemicals and yeast. Dr Venter claims his new organism has DNA that has never existed on Earth before. The cells he made will pave the way for more complex ones. Venter believes manmade life will be an important part of all science in the future. In 2007, he said: “Synthetic [life] is going to become the standard for making anything.” He believes it will provide amazing new cures for diseasesand identified the nerve on the ultrasound image via the AR platform.
The procedure was performed successfully, and the nerve block demonstrated appropriate efficacy. After the procedure, the one onsite and the one remote provider completed a survey on the image quality of the video connection. In addition, the remote provider completed a survey of the image quality of the ultrasound image viewed from the video conference app and the onsite provider completed a survey of the AR notations created by the remote provider during the guidance of the nerve block. All surveys were scored using a validated 5-point Likert scale \[[@B9-diagnostics-09-00159]\].
Survey results showed that the image quality of the video communication was rated 5/5 for both video communication and ultrasound image interpretation by the one onsite and one

"Jim was a mentor to me and a friend, and I will miss him." — Tom Selleck, who early in his career guest-starred on Garner's series "The Rockford Files."
———
Garner was "a hell of a driver.He truly was a 'man's man.' Jim was a friend, and when he came to Indianapolis as a spectator and pace car driver we obviously welcomed him with open arms." — Parnelli Jones, two-time Indy 500 winner.
———
"My heart just broke. There are few people on this planet I have adored as much as Jimmy Garner. I cherish every moment I spent with him and relive them over and over in my head. He was a diamond." — Sally Field, who co-starred with Garner in the 1985 film "Murphy's Romance."
———
Shirley Jones recalled that in the mid-1950s she arrived in Hollywood and landed the lead role in "Oklahoma!" Before location shooting began, she was invited by a photographer to join him for dinner with another promising young star — James

former security chief under Mao Zedong.
Hu Jia, another activist who spent three years in jail on subversion charges until his release last year, said he was worried about Liu Xia's health.
He is one of the few people to have seen her recently, he said, after visiting the Liu home in eastern Beijing at night -- only to find it under heavy guard as it has been since the Nobel award.
He aborted a plan to make contact for fear of endangering her.
Hu said he believes "she is very lonely and smoking a lot", and lamented that the couple had not elicited the same outpouring of support as blind lawyer Chen Guangcheng.
Chen drew global attention in April after a daring escape from house arrest and flight to the American embassyin Beijing. He eventually was allowed to leave for the United States in an episode that severely strained China-US relations.
"Guangcheng had online supporters who would go hundreds of kilometres (miles) to see him, yet just a handful of people care to go see Liu Xia," said Hu.

Home Savings had violated the standby purchasers agreement by buying loans from affiliated banks and had violated federal regulations by excessive investment in a subsidiary.
10
By May 1988, the bank examiners' criticisms of Home Savings's affiliate transactions, conflicts of interest, and problem loans had become more urgent. The Kansas City Business Journal reported in September 1988 that Home Savings had been criticized by the examiners in its last examination for affiliate transactions and under capitalization. As part of an effort to provide Home Savings with sufficient capital to meet the regulatory requirements, KPERS converted its debentures into preferred stock on March 29, 1990.8 In 1991, the regulators closed Home Savings and appointed the RTC as receiver. KPERS lost its entire $65 million in principal, thoughinvestment in Home Savings. KPERS says that it exercised due diligence after learning of these facts, since the Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan investigated the issue and concluded that Russell had not transgressed Kansas ethics laws. Therefore, KPERS says, under Dearborn Animal Clinic, P.A. v. Wilson, 248 Kan. 257, 806 P.2d 997, 1006 (1991), and Gilger v. Lee Construction, Inc., 249 Kan. 307, 820 P.2d 390 (1991), its injury was not "reasonably ascertainable" until a 1991 Kansas legislative investigation indicated that the loans to Russell were not arms' length transactions, but were made after Russell's previous loans were in trouble.

In Dearborn Animal Clinic and Gilger, the plaintiffs relied on representations by the defendant or by third parties that put them off the trail of the alleged

complaints against Keller are still pending, one that alleges that his campaign is illegally coordinating with a political action committee supporting him and another alleging that he broke the rules by failing to report the attorney fees he has incurred defending himself against the ethics complaints. Two of the complaints were filed by Bernalillo County Commissioner Wayne Johnson, a Republican and one of eight mayoral candidates on the Oct. 3 ballot. The third complaint was filed by private investigator Carlos McMahon, who the Keller campaign points out was indicted on multiple counts of fraud and perjury.
Keller has denied that he is coordinating with the political action committee, and he has indicated that he plans to cover the legal fees out of his own pocket.
Johnson applauded the finding thatKing George's visit to said institution on March 5 had been lengthily covered in the newspaper, and its good works had been frequently featured in the newspaper over the preceding years; this was clearly an institute dear to the paper's heart (indeed the article launching the appeal promises that the newspaper will "deal fully in its columns over the ensuing fortnight with the extensive work of the Association"), and its proprietors (the Levy-Lawson family) started the ball rolling with a gift of £500; although this was soon trumped by a gift of £10,000 from the executors of Sir William Dunn, Bt.

Last June, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks played the fifth annual Quiet Music Festival of Portland. They played "an intimate, unusual, and idiosyncratic set of re-arranged songs, one-off covers, and deep rarities from the depths of [the band's] catalog," the Jicks' Mike Clark wrote on the band's website. That set began with a cover of Nirvana's "Come as You Are" from the band's iconic Nevermind. The Quiet Music Festival recorded the set on an "analog 2-track 1/4" tape deck," and it's now available for stream and purchase. Listen to it below, via Stereogum.
In addition to "Come as You Are," Malkmus and the Jicks also covered Minutemen's "History Lesson Part II" and Carpenters' "Rainy Days and Mondays." They played "Deado," "Freeze the Saints," and "Malediction" from

Our Greatest Natural Disaster: The Galveston Hurricane of 1900
Estimates vary, and the exact figure will never be known, but it is certain that three times as many lives were lost in the storm and flood which struck Galveston, Texas, in September of 1900 as in any other natural disaster to befall the United States before or since. Some estimates run as high as 8,000 people killed. The Johnstown flood claimed 2,209 victims and the San Francisco earthquake cost 452 lives.
This anatomy of disaster in an American town is based on survivors’ accounts and official records. It is told in a minute-by-minute description of how the customarily gentle sea breezes mounted to gales and then winds of

arrows indicate a direction of the solid phase growth.
As shown in FIG. 8, after a PolySi film 114 is deposited on a substrate 111 having a stepped portion, an Si ion 115 is implanted into the entire surface, to about the same thickness as in the PolySi film. By the Si ion implantation, the PolySi film 114 is converted into an amorphous state. But, since no Si ion is implanted into a PolySi film 114a existing in the side walls of the stepped portion, the PolySi film 114a remains in its polycrystalline state. Subsequently, by performing heat treatment, the PolySi film is solid phase grown, with the PolySi film 114a of the side walls acting as a nucleus (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. HEI 2(1990)-143414).
As shown inPolySi film by utilizing the fact that a catalytic element helps polycrystallization of amorphous Si (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. HEI 9(1997)-312404). According to this method, first the catalytic element is contacted with a specific region of an amorphous Si film, and then, heat treatment is carried out, whereby, with the catalytic element acting as a nucleus, a PolySi film is solid phase grown. Next, by oxidizing the thus obtained PolySi film in an oxidizing atmosphere containing a halogen, an oxide film is formed on the PolySi film, and at the same time, the oxide film is subjected to gettering of the catalytic element. After this, by removing the oxide film, a PolySi film having high crystallizability is obtained. According to this method, a PolySi film can be

examination of the record indicates that this is the only testimony pertaining to any change in appellant's conduct before and after his involvement with the deceased. The appellant testified that the deceased threatened to kill him when he did not divorce his wife and when he went to see her to tell her it was all over she pointed a gun at him and he killed her. At the close of Mrs. Ward's testimony appellant's counsel again established that appellant was still supporting his family, was still a good husband, worked regularly when he was dating the deceased, came home regularly, owns his own tractor and trailer truck and has been a good husband to his wife.
In light of this testimony I simply cannot conclude that appellant's wifethe appellant, her testimony raised, at most, the appellant's reputation for being a good husband and father. The prosecutor's questions were directed to the appellant's reputation for illegal activity. The prosecutor's questions therefore did not relate to acts inconsistent with the character traits the appellant's wife testified about."
In its motion for rehearing the State attacks both holdings.[1] In its challenge to the second part of our holding on original *817 submission, the State argues, "The acts about which the State inquired are inconsistent with the character traits of kindness and sobriety about which Appellant's wife testified." Later in its motion, however, the State concedes, "The entire tenor of the wife's testimony was geared toward persuading the jury that Appellant was a good husband, father and provider for the

the community in which he resides, in questioning the witness. However, an examination of the record clearly indicates that the entire tenor of the elder Childs' testimony was geared toward persuading the jury to grant appellant probation by showing them his good character and law abiding habits.1 Appellant may not have a witness testify about his good character traits but avoid `placing his reputation in evidence' simply by not specifically asking whether appellant enjoyed a good reputation in the community."
"1 See Brown v. State, 477 S.W.2d 617, for a discussion of the rationale of the rule which permits the State to ask a character witness about specific acts of misconduct of the accused."
The fallacy in the Childs rule is that it ignores the difference between character and reputation.State, 491 S.W.2d 907 (Tex.Cr.App.1973), as noted by the dissenting opinions on original submission. In Childs, the proof that the accused had been a good boy since he had been home was for a limited period. The majority noted that Childs asked for probation and would leave the impression that appellant did not. The appellant in the present case made an application for probation. He wanted to show that he was a good man so that he could get probation regardless of what else he wanted to show. In the Childs case, the father of the defendant was asked by defense counsel: "... And has his conduct been good since he has been there while he has been there at home?" He answered: "Really has."
The Court wrote:

government and the Muslim Brotherhood, because it recognized that the fundamental decisions about that country’s future would be made by Egyptians themselves. What the United States would continue to insist on, he said, was movement toward an inclusive, democratic government “that legitimately reflects the will of the Egyptian people.”
The president also spoke wistfully of the inevitable criticism lobbed America’s way. Given its immense power, the United States was alternately criticized in the Middle East either for adopting a “hands off” policy or for throwing its weight around. Such critiques bore bitter fruit at home and abroad, he noted—making U.S. citizens wonder why they should bother with the troubles of far-off lands, and letting demagogues in the Middle East blame the United States for their own failings as leaders.[Ectoparasites and phoresants of the root vole (Microtus oeconomus Pall.) in the Polesye].
Drainage melioration in the Polesye resulted in a sharp increase in the number of tundra vole (Microtus oeconomus Pall.) which quickly included into the parasitocenosis of the drained land. There were found 26 parasitic and nonparasitic species of Gamasoidea, 3 species of Ixodidae and 2 species of Trombiculidae, 10 species of Aphaniptera, 3 species of Anoplura but there was found no species specific only for the tundra vole. All found parasites occur on many hosts. This explains wide parasitic links of the tundra vole with other homothermic animals which especially extensive with the bank vole and it may have important consequences for epizootiology of tularemia and tick-borne encephalitis.

Jeff Steinberg had a maroon and white lacrosse jersey that he wore for years. It said "Denver Lacrosse" on the front and had his number, 5, on the back.
Then, one day, he cleaned out his closet and took the shirt to a Goodwill store in Miami. He figured that was the end of it. But some months after that, Steinberg found himself in Sierra Leone for work. He was walking down the street, and he saw a guy selling ice cream and cold drinks, wearing a Denver Lacrosse jersey.
"I thought, 'Wow, this is pretty crazy,' " Steinberg says. Then he looked at thea shirt marking "Jennifer's Bat Mitzvah" in November 1993.

Margaret Wanjiku, a T-shirt vendor from western Kenya, has come to this market to restock her supply. What's written on the T-shirt is often not that important to her customers, she says. She's looking more at the condition of the shirt — the "smartness."
Like many vendors here, Wanjiku stays away from shirts that are extra-large, because those are too big for almost all of her customers. But there is at least one guy in Nairobi looking for extra-large shirts.
Francis Mungai cuts up XL shirts with scissors and, working with a seamstress, turns them into slimmer, smaller shirts.
One recent day he bought an extra-large Motorhead shirt and, in a few minutes, turned it into a slim, custom

this action for declaratory and injunctive relief against Loyola University of Chicago ("Loyola"), the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and various officials of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (collectively referred to as "the Corps"). The Federation seeks an injunction restraining Loyola from constructing a twenty acre lakefill on its Lake Shore campus in Chicago, Illinois. Because we find that the property to be used for this project was conveyed in violation of the public trust, we grant the Federation's motion for injunctive relief.[1]
*443 Loyola is a private educational institution organized as a not-for-profit corporation. Among Loyola's campuses in the Chicago area is its Lake Shore campus bordering Lake Michigan on the north side of the city. In 1988, Loyola decided to expand this campus. Loyoladetermined that it would not be feasible to expand onto adjacent land. Instead, it developed plans to construct a lakefill of approximately twenty acres in the waters of neighboring Lake Michigan. Because erosion had damaged the existing shoreline, Loyola viewed the lakefill both as a means for the expansion and protection of its campus.
The plans developed by Loyola called for a lakefill of about 18.5 acres. Along the perimeter of the lakefill, Loyola intended to construct a stone revetment, as well as bike and walking paths, a seatwall, and lawn areas. The public would have unrestricted access to these areas, which comprise about 2.1 acres of lakefill.[2] In the interior portion of the lakefill, Loyola plans to build athletic facilities, including a running track, a women's softball field,

and multi-purpose athletic fields. The public would have access to these areas, but subject to Loyola's right of ownership. In addition, Loyola proposed restoration and improvements to Hartigan Park Beach, which borders the proposed lakefill.
Loyola sought and received legislative and municipal approval of this project. In Public Act 85-1145, S.B. 1171, the Illinois Legislature conveyed approximately 18.5 acres of the lakebed to Loyola for the purpose of expansion. In this act, the legislature acknowledged that it holds the title of submerged lands in trust for the people of Illinois. However, because the public would benefit from the lakefill in various ways, the legislature reasoned that it had the power to convey the land to Loyola. In addition to obtaining approval from the Illinois legislature, Loyola also entered intoa contract with the Park District of the City of Chicago allowing Loyola to proceed with the project.
After securing the approval of state and local governmental entities, Loyola also cleared federal statutory hurdles. Pursuant to § 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1344, and § 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, 33 U.S.C. § 403, Loyola had to obtain a permit from the Corps before proceeding with construction. Loyola submitted a permit application on December 9, 1988. In addition to its permit review under the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, the Corps was also required to consider the potential environmental impact of the project the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"), 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq.

Jamna Devi got her first cellphone about a year ago. It's one of those with a tiny screen and a numbered keypad, the kind that are becoming increasingly rare in the age of Android and the iPhone. Devi's village in India's Rajasthan state is almost completely off the grid. It's a sleepy cluster of houses in the middle of the desert. There's one bus a day that passes through, the only connection to the nearest city more than 50 miles away.
She needs to climb onto the roof of her house to catch a couple of bars of cell service so she can call her children and relatives. "From there I can speak," she said. "Sometimes it works. Otherwise this phone is just lying there useless."
Like nearly 900 millionphone, and every customer will have access to 4G connectivity," he said during a speech in October. "We are committed to connecting everyone and everything, everywhere."
For Gorakh Dan, Jio has opened up a whole new world. The 26-year-old works as a stone supplier in the city of Jaisalmer, about 40 miles from Devi's village. He got a Jio SIM card five months ago and then purchased his first smartphone, a Nokia, for about 5,000 rupees ($68). Dan is now obsessed with WhatsApp, which counts India as its biggest market, and YouTube.
He uses a quintessentially Indian expression to describe the impact Ambani's company has had.

Anne Graham Lotz has faced a difficult journey over the past few years. After losing her husband in 2015 and then her father — the famed evangelist Billy Graham — in 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
It was a harrowing journey filled with painful treatments that left Lotz, author of the new book, "Jesus In Me: Experiencing the Holy Spirit as a Constant Companion," with spiritual and physical challenges — and life-altering lessons.

"I have experienced triumph in some of the darkest places," she recently told "The Pure Flix Podcast." "And I know it's because of the Holy Spirit."
Listen to Lotz share her cancer journey and her incredible faith:
Lotz, who recently completed cancer treatments, recounted learningabout her diagnosis and how she initially struggled to tell her family.
The Bible teacher, who has inspired millions, suddenly found herself face-to-face with a battle that held the power to deeply challenge her faith, but she persisted.
"It was my next assignment so to speak, but I didn't know how to tell my family," she said. "I felt like God had this in his hands too — that it was part of His purpose for me."
Lotz found a way to tell her family what was going on and started treatments. Along the way, she said it was her faith in God, Jesus — and the Holy Spirit that sustained her.
