located approximately 11 to 12 miles away from the Spaghetti Bowl. On or about December 10, 1999, Defendant Gail Maxwell, the then Acting Labor Commissioner of the State of Nevada, allegedly requested that the Nevada Department of Transportation withhold approximately $249,000 from the final payment of Meadow Valley for its involvement in the Spaghetti Bowl project. This amount allegedly represents the difference between the lawfully-required prevailing wage and the wages actually paid by Walter Construction. On January 7, 2000, Meadow Valley and Walter Construction (hereinafter referred to as the "Plaintiffs") sued Terry Johnson (the current Labor Commissioner of the State of Nevada), Gail Maxwell, and Thomas E. Stephens (the Director of the Nevada *1183 Department of Transportation) in both their individual and official capacities. Stephens was dismissed as a partyfeed material, which includes an upper bracket, a shaft, a return spring, a lower bracket, first and second sets of chain links, and a spreader plate. The upper and lower brackets are preferably aligned in the same vertical plane. The first and second chain links are located on opposite sides of the spreader and on either side of the shaft. Upon rotation of the spreader the first and second sets of chain links experience a centrifugal force sufficient to cause the spreader plate to move down the shaft and upon ceasing rotation the spreader plate returns to a default position proximate to the top of the shaft.

by Nuclear Medicine Research Center in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and provides an opportunity for authors to publish with no costs and enjoy the benefits of open access policy simultaneously. The journal will be published biannually (in May and November each year) for the first two years and may increase the number of issues per year later. The journal uses a standard peer review process and all manuscripts are reviewed by two reviewers for the originality, relevance, quality and integrity of the manuscript. The revised manuscript is sent to a comparative reviewer for further evaluation. Final decision on acceptance or rejection of the article is done by editor in chief based on these expert opinions. Three experienced associate editors and a group of well known editorial board membersare serving the journal, which are mainly from Asia Oceania region. I would like to thanks all my colleagues and editors that helped us in this way, especially Prof. Henry Bom and Prof. Seigo Kinuya for their enthusiastic support. To the extent of my search, 24 journals are published in the field of nuclear medicine and at least 20 are indexed in Scopus or Science citation index. Journal of Nuclear Medicine from North America and European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (EJNMMI) from Europe have the highest impact factors among all nuclear medicine journals([@ref2]). Besides these continental journals there are plenty of national journals of nuclear medicine as well. From North America, Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Medicine and biology, Clinical Nuclear Medicine and Journal of nuclear

parts of the world too ([@ref4]). So we could expect more scientific production from this area in the following years. EJNMMI published 191 original articles in year 2012 mainly from European countries from which 25 articles were from Asia Oceania region ([@ref5]). In year 2011, 31/190 original articles in EJNMMI were from Asia Oceania region ([@ref6]). This data should be interpreted in the light of low acceptance rate of articles in EJNMMI that was only 19% in these years. The present data shows a big potential of the Asia Oceania Region in nuclear medicine researches. AOJNMB tries to help nuclear medicine physicians and scientists (in the world in general and in Asia Oceania region in Particular) to publish their works free of charge and make a bigger impactin the scientific communications. The first issue of the journal enjoys from different variety of articles including 4 original clinical studies, 1 original article in radiopharmacy, one review article and one case report. Also an editorial is written by the president of AOFNMB about history and perspectives of the AOFNMB as well as another editorial by editor in chief. It is clear that willingness of each member of the Asia Oceania Federation of Nuclear Medicine and Biology is the main requirement for success of this journal. I am confident that AOJNMB will grow to be one of the most important journals in the field of nuclear medicine and biology. Let's turn it to reality.

In July of 2012, a core group of staff at the radio show Q began meeting quietly to draft a document complaining that the work culture at the program, then hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, was "unsustainable." Early on, the six CBC radio employees would gather at a downtown restaurant away from the office to avoid notice, and code-named their endeavour "Red Sky" to keep it secret. Once the document was written, they convened a meeting at CBC headquarters on July 19 with Arif Noorani, the show's executive producer, and Linda Groen, director of network talk radio. The group did not discuss allegations of sexual harassment by Mr. Ghomeshi. But the document, obtained by The Globe and Mail, alleges staff often had to work according to "the whim of the host,"and that "if we don't do what he says, we will be punished in some way." The document suggests solutions, including that Mr. Noorani should hold the "host to account, rather than operating out of fear of 'stirring the beast.'" Story continues below advertisement Sources involved in the meeting who spoke on condition of anonymity said that in an act of solidarity, the staffers split into groups of two to present the three sections of the document: on the show's growth, its management and staff workload. The complaint reveals that a clear, official attempt was made to address Mr. Ghomeshi's behaviour in the workplace, and it was reviewed and acknowledged by CBC managers long before the star host was fired last month.

House approach — no due process and only alleged crimes. The president understands this better than anyone, as he is the one being led to the gallows. As he is prone to do, he took to Twitter with this response: "All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching. But we will WIN!" YouTube screen grab. As predictable as sunrise and sunset, the media's collective heads exploded in unison over Trump's use of the word "lynching." The Left has hijacked the term to serve its pandering civil rights agenda, and for Trump to use it is an unacceptable affront to Democrats. The Guardian ran this headline: "Fury as Trump compares impeachment inquiry to lynching." In lockstep, the New York Times replied, "The term lynching invokes the decades-long racist historyof white mob murders of black people beginning in the late 1800s and through the late 1960s." Wow — the N.Y. Times is throwing Democrats under the bus by saying black lynching was done mostly at the hands of the KKK, the militant arm of the Democratic Party. Remember that Bull Connor, George Wallace, and KKK grand kleagle and former U.S. senator Robert Byrd were all Democrats. Where did the term "lynching" come from? The Online Etymology Dictionary provides an answer. Lynching "[w]as likely named after William Lynch (1742–1820) of Pittsylvania, Virginia, who c. 1780 led a vigilance committee to keep order there during the Revolution." Alternatively, "[o]ther sources trace the name to Charles Lynch (1736–1796) a Virginia magistrate who fined and imprisoned Tories in his district." It seems that original

local Episcopal conferences are on board. Pope Francis is not attacking the market, business or anything. In fact, in his 2014 letter for the World Economic Forum at Davos [Pope’s Letter to the Executive Chairman of The World Economic Forum on the Occasion of the Annual Meeting At Davos-Klosters (Switzerland)], Francis called and recognized business as being a ‘noble vocation.’ He expressed appreciation for talents. And third, he invited business people to put their talents at the service of the poor. When you look at these three aspects, one certainly does not see an attack by the Pope. It’s rather an appreciation and admiration for the career along with an invitation to use it and what the career brings along or generates not for personal benefit and gain,from Muslims too. The encyclical itself –from its composition—makes it evident how all people are invited to be involved. When one pays attention to how many times Pope Francis quotes local bishops—“At the bishops’ conference of this African country, of India, of Korea, they said ….” It makes it obvious how all voices are being represented in the work. The encyclical is an ‘Encyclical of Collegiality.’ It is not just Pope Francis’ teaching but all the bishops around the world. ZENIT: How can this encyclical have an effect on Christians in their everyday lives? Cardinal Turkson: It is for everybody, all according to their vocation.

Not much set him apart from the monsters he pursued, and Blade constantly demonstrated that he was willing to stoop as low as his enemies in order to achieve his goals. His mission of revenge was focused from time to time on finding the vampire who killed his mother but, in the meantime, any old vampire would do.TOMB also tied in very neatly with Bram Stoker's original novel, introducing an aged (and disabled) QUINCEY HARKER as the leader of the book's vampire hunters. The son of Jonathan and Mina Harker, Quincey was mentioned briefly in Stoker's novel in it's final pages.

The Resolution Trust Corporation had reported, at the inception of the FIRREA: "Assistance payments by FSLIC are not considered taxable to the acquirer. This indirect assistance is significant to acquirers with other profitable lines of business."

When the government as contracting party makes a promise in exchange for a benefit, it is bound by mutual obligations, as any party to a contract is bound. The Guarini Legislation was described at the time of enactment as a remedial action implementing a change in policy. It was directed at existing contracts to which the government was a party, and retroactively abrogated contract provisions entered into under the prior policy.

as the result of a caste system. Oligarchies can often become instruments of transformation, by insisting that monarchs or dictators share power, thereby opening the door to power-sharing by other elements of society (while oligarchy means "the rule of the few," monarchy means "the rule of the one"). One example of power-sharing from one person to a larger group of persons occurred when English nobles banded together in 1215 to force a reluctant King John of England to sign Magna Carta, a tacit recognition both of King John's waning political power and of the existence of an incipient oligarchy (the nobility). As English society continued to grow and develop, Magna Carta was repeatedly revised (1216, 1217, and 1225), guaranteeing greater rights to greater numbers of people, thus settingthe stage for English constitutional monarchy. Oligarchies may also evolve into more autocratic or monarchist forms of government, sometimes as the result of one family gaining ascendancy over the others. Many of the European monarchies established during the late Middle Ages began in this way. Examples of oligarchies Examples include Sparta (excluding the Helots, who were the majority of the population, from voting) and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (only the nobility could vote). A modern example of oligarchy could be seen in South Africa during the 20th century. Here, the basic characteristics of oligarchy are particularly easy to observe, since the South African form of oligarchy was based on race. After the Second Boer War, a tacit agreement was reached between English- and Afrikaans-speaking whites. Together, they made up about twenty percent

Twenty years ago he lived in poverty and saw how many of his friends crossed the border and succeeded economically. Tough immigration policies demanded that the company he worked for for twenty years formalize their business. Formalizing allowed contractors to work for them. Martínez is thankful for the opportunity. He now makes what he would make in a month in just one day. At age 12, he crossed the Rio Grande with other children his age.

referrals although asked about it by Mr. Moore. The first intimation of a misunderstanding between the Moores and CapitalCare respecting the Plan's coverage for Alistaire's postKennedy Krieger care was manifested about the second week in December, 1992, when the agency furnishing 24-hour home nursing assistance declined to continue on the ground that its bills were not being paid. Mrs. Moore called Barbara Mullin on December 17th. The conversation was, once again, controversial, but in essence both Mrs. Moore and Ms. Mullin are in accord that Ms. Mullin informed Mrs. Moore that she had not "approved" the payment of bills for nursing assistance, nor any others. Ms. Mullin insists she tried to explain that the Moores' coverage, if any, would be on the "indemnity side" of the Plan, and billswould have to go through Blue Cross/Blue Shield, but Mrs. Moore wouldn't listen. Over time, non-payment of the therapists' bills became a chronic problem. Whether the bills were being sent by the therapists to CapitalCare directly or forwarded through the Moores is not disclosed by the record, but neither "side" of the Plan was paying them. On January 15, 1993, Ms. Mullin instructed Mr. Moore to have all bills sent to her as she could "expedite their being sent over to the Claims Department to process." They were still not paid. In early February, 1993, Mr. Moore learned that Barbara Mullin had been replaced as a case manager by another woman. She, too, he found unhelpful, and he resolved to contact higher authority at CapitalCare. Unable to reach him by

happened. After all, nobody puts the "ROFL" in "professional" quite like John Pappas! Instead of jeering at the messenger, let's laugh at the message. According to the PPA, the DOJ's action against Full Tilt, PokerStars, and UltimateBet/Absolute Poker (a/k/a "the Big Three") was "nothing less than a declaration of war against poker and the people who play it." Strange how the PPA failed to mention the crux of the DOJ's allegations—the Big Three engaged in money laundering and bank fraud. Although the PPA's misguided and overheated rhetoric deserves some skewering, I'll defer to Bill Rini who, as usual, nails the Triple Lindy. The PPA's reaction to the recent online poker indictments demonstrates conclusively that the organization is worse than incompetent; it is actually detrimental to the cause of legalizing poker.This conclusion is really not all that shocking to me, as I've long been a critic of the PPA. But let's let the PPA's track record speak for itself. The PPA has attempted to promote legalization of poker through litigation and legislation. On the litigation front, the PPA's strategy has been an unmitigated disaster. Cases in which the PPA played a prominent role have now resulted in appellate courts in Pennsylvania and Colorado rejecting the PPA's pet "poker as game of skill" argument, with the South Carolina supreme court almost certain to join the anti-poker fold in the near future. The Washington supreme court has rejected the PPA's dormant commerce clause argument, upholding the rights of states to regulate online gaming within their geographical boundaries.

"In Germany or France one may still see the peasant take off his hat to the rising sun." ("Anthropology," p. 361.) The Romans, even, in later times, worshipped the sun at Emesa, under the name of Elagabalus, "typified in the form of a black conical stone, which it was believed had fallen from heaven." The conicalbrilliant achievements." The Greeks, too young to have shared in the religion of Atlantis, but preserving some memory of that great country and its history, proceeded to convert its kings into gods, and to depict Atlantis itself as the heaven of the human race. Thus we find a great solar or nature worship in the elder nations, while Greece has nothing but an incongruous jumble of gods and goddesses, who are born and eat and drink and make love and ravish and steal and die; and who are worshipped as immortal in presence of the very monuments that testify to their death. "These deities, to whom the affairs of the world were in trusted, were, it is believed, immortal, though not eternal in their existence. In Crete there was even

"On the coast of Brittany, where Cape Raz stands out westward into the ocean, there is 'the Bay of Souls,' the launching-place where the departed spirits sail off across the sea." (Ibid.) In like manner, Odysseus found the land of the dead in the ocean beyond the Pillars of Hercules. There, indeed, was the land of the mighty dead, the grave of the drowned Atlanteans. "However this be," continues F. Pezron, "the empire of the Titans, according to the ancients, was very extensive; they possessed Phrygia, Thrace, a part of Greece, the island of Crete, and several other provinces to the inmost recesses of Spain. To these Sanchoniathon seems tojoin Syria; and Diodorus adds a part of Africa, and the kingdoms of Mauritania." The kingdoms of Mauritania embraced all that north-western region of Africa nearest to Atlantis in which are the Atlas Mountains, and in which, in the days of Herodotus, dwelt the Atlantes. Neptune, or Poseidon, says, in answer to a message from Jupiter, No vassal god, nor of his train am I.

Berosus tells us, speaking of the ancient days of Chaldea, "In the first year there appeared, from that part of the Erythræan Sea which borders upon Babylonia, an animal endowed with reason, by name Oannes, whose whole body (according to the account of Apollodorus) was that of a fish; that under the fish's head he had another head, with feet also below, similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish's tail. His. voice too and language was articulate and human, and a representation of him is preserved even unto this day. This being was accustomed to pass the day among men, but took no food at that season, and he gave them an insight into letters and arts of all kinds. He taughtthem to construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth, and showed them how to collect the fruits; in short, be instructed them in everything which could tend to soften manners and humanize their laws. From that time nothing material has been added by way of improvement to his instructions. And when the sun set, this being, Oannes, retired again into the sea, and passed the night in the deep, for he was amphibious. After this there appeared other animals like Oannes." This is clearly the tradition preserved by a barbarous people of the great ships of a civilized nation, who colonized their coast and introduced the arts and sciences among

All the traditions of the coming of civilization into Europe point to Atlantis. For instance, Keleos, who lived at Eleusis, near Athens, hospitably received Demeter, the Greek Ceres, the daughter of Poseidon, when she landed; and in return she taught him theuse of the plough, and presented his son with the seed of barley, and sent him out to teach mankind how to sow and utilize that grain. Dionysos, grandson of Poseidon, travelled "through all the known world, even into the remotest parts of India, instructing the people, as be proceeded, how to tend the vine, and how to practise many other arts of peace, besides teaching them the value of just and honorable dealings." (Murray's "Mythology," p. 119.) The Greeks celebrated great festivals in his honor down to the coming of Christianity. "The Nymphs of Grecian mythology were a kind of middle beings between the gods and men, communicating with both, loved and respected by both; . . . living like the gods on ambrosia.

Enormous quantities of radionuclides were released into the environment from the damaged reactor cores, exposing the public to radiation through several pathways. Needless to say, it is of great importance to estimate the resulting radiation doses to the radiologically affected populations due to this accident. According to recent literature published about the Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS), the external doses to residents of Fukushima Prefecture during the first 4 months after the accident were estimated to be below 3 mSv

have ridden around 37,500 miles in 1933, more than a thousand miles in excess of Humbles's record. What - for me - is most interesting about Gaioni is his pedigree: he was a veteran of the Tour de France (1909, when he finished fourteenth) and the Giro d'Italia (1911, when he finished twenty-second) as well as Italian classics such as Milan-Sanremo (where he achieved his best placing, fourth, in 1906), the Giro di Lombardia (where he also finished fourth in 1906) and the Giro del Piemont. During his professional career Gaioni - born in 1880 - had raced in the colours of Bianchi (1905-1906) and Legnano (1909), as well as the Legnano subsidiary Stucchi (1909-1910). There is some doubt surrounding Gaioni's claim to have ridden 37,500 miles but debateover that was rendered pointless by another Tour de France veteran that same year, Oserick 'Ossie' Bernard Nicholson, a young Australian pro who was encouraged to take up the challenge by the Malvern Star bicycle company (the same manufacturer responsible for getting Hubert 'Oppy' Opperman to the 1928 Tour de France along with compatriots Perry Osborne and Ernest Bainbridge, and the Kiwi Harry Watson). Already on his palmarès Nicholson had the Australian paced Hour record, set in February 1930 (a rather staid 89.3 kilometres, but more than three kilometres better than Opperman's existing mark - Oppy, alas, wasted no time in reclaiming his crown, in April covering 95.5 kilometres while en route to the 100 miles record).

American women live on average to just under 81 - about three years younger than the average Australian woman. While life expectancy in the US continues to improve, says the report by researchers at University of Washington in Seattle and Imperial College, London, it is not increasing as quicklyas in other Western countries, so the gap is widening. "The researchers suggest that the relatively low life expectancies in the US cannot be explained by the size of the nation, racial diversity, or economics," says the document, which ranks the US 38th in the world for life expectancy overall.

The Bull "Quorumdam exigit", 1317 (Bull. Franc., V, 128), was intended to put an end to the question. After some explanations of the rule the pope enjoined them under obedience and pain of excommunication to give up all particularities and to submit to the orders ofthe minister general, and concluded by saying "great is poverty, but greater is obedience". Twenty-five of the detained Spirituals utterly refused to accept the Bull and were therefore put before the inquisitor, who succeeded in converting twenty-one of them, whilst the four others, refusing to obey and to recognize the principle of papal authority on the Franciscan Rule, were handed over to the civil power, 7 May, 1318, and burned as heretics at Marseilles (see sentence of the inquisitor Michael Monach in "Miscellanea" of Baluzius-Mansi, Lucca, 1761, II, 148).

The unity of the research thus undertaken around the person of Coray would certainly have gained in clarity if the editors had not presented us so precipitately with the raw result of their work without any preface, introduction or conclusion. The result is a sometimes ill-assorted collection in which are mixed different genres, the good with the less good, with at times a perceptible tendency towards the irrelevant: in one of the contributions (pp. 161--72) Coray\'s name isnot even mentioned.

He moved to Montpellier in 1782 to study medicine before going on to Paris in 1788 where he watched the French Revolution with exaltation. As R-P Debaisieux-Zemour rightly notes (p. 92), he there acquired the conviction "that progress and the development of education among the French people had given birth to the love of liberty", a conviction which from that moment on remained the basis of all his actions.

The Japanese science-fiction action figure line from Takara was brought to the States in the 1970's by Mego (with some items replicated for the collector's market in 2002 by Palisades), but has kept a pretty low profile since the line's cancellation in 1980. Most fans are familiar with The Micronauts from the officially licensed Marvel Comic series, which ran throughout the 1980's, long after the toys had vanished from shelves. Image Comics and Devil's Due Publishing both tried their hand at a Micronauts comic book revival during the last decade, but were met with little success. Theoriginal Micronauts figures were an odd-looking assortment of strange heroes and bizarre aliens, and many of the toys featured interchangeable parts. While no over-arching story was created for the toys upon release (marking it as one of the few action figure assortments at the time with no built-in storyline), the comic versions of the Micronauts have positioned the characters as defenders of a microscopic universe, attempting to overthrow the evil Baron Karza. If a full-on Micronauts revival is just around the corner, I'm hoping Hasbro keeps a lot of the funky character design intact. I had a good amount of Micronauts growing up, and they still stand out to me as being some of the weirdest looking (and most fun) toys from my early childhood.

Simone de Beauvoir in her introductory speech to the Tribunal said: "I salute the International Tribunal as the beginning of the radical decolonization of women." Later, Belgian feminist Nicole Van de Ven with Russell documented the event in a book titled, Crimes Against Women: The Proceedings of the International Tribunal (1976). In 1976 Russell redefined ‘Femicide’, as "the killing of females by males because they are female." At the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women, she testified to numerous examples of lethal forms of male violence against women and girls from different cultures around the world. Russell'sintention was to politicize the term, and bring attention to the misogyny driving these lethal crimes against women, which she said gender-neutral terms like murder don’t do. Russell who is puzzled about the lack of response of women's groups in the United States to the use of the term 'Femicide' still continues to advocate the use of 'Femicide' to women's groups in the United States and around the world. She explains that in order to deal with these extreme crimes against women, it necessary to recognize that like race based hate crimes, "Femicides are [also] lethal hate crimes," and that most killings of women by men are "extreme manifestations of male dominance and sexism."[5] However, feminist movements in many countries in South America, as in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica,

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb is pictured in Paris last week. Text Size:AAA Reuters/Paris * Minister says he will quit Macron government to run for mayor of Lyon * Announcement follows abrupt resignations by two ministers France's interior minister, one of President Emmanuel Macron's closest allies, has told L'Express magazine he will run for mayor of Lyon in 2020, putting Macron's government under more pressure as it goes through a period of doubt and instability. Gerard Collomb's announcement follows the abrupt resignations in recent weeks of a popular environment minister, who questioned Macron's commitment to the reduction of nuclear power, and a sports minister. A high-profile member of Macron's party, Republique En Marche, also quit over the weekend. Macron's approval rating has plunged to about 30%, from around 60% shortly after he was elected inMay 2017, with opinion polls showing he is regarded as lofty and unsympathetic towards people's everyday hardships. Collomb, who recently acknowledged what he called a "lack of humility" in Macron's administration, suggested that he could stand down as soon as the middle of next year. "I won't be interior minister up to the last minute," he told the weekly magazine in an interview. "Ministers who want to run in the 2020 municipal elections should in my view leave the government after the European (parliament) elections," he said. The European parliament vote takes place in May 2019.'Ketchup moment' Collomb, a political veteran who left the post of Lyon mayor, which he had held for some 17 years, to team up with Macron, said big election victories tended to generate a climate where leadership appeared

Her condition upon discharge was markedly improved, but her prognosis was "[g]uarded due to patient's frequent episodes of urogenital and gastrointestinal difficulties." 21 Mrs. Houston was next hospitalization for 15 days beginning February 23, 1980. During her stay she was treated again for urinary retention bladder dysfunction with chronic cystitis, anxiety, and hypertension, and also for peptic ulcer disease and sebaceous cysts. The record indicates Mrs. Houston, as before, showed only very slow and gradual improvement relative to her symptoms of chronic cystitis and peptic ulcer disease. Part of Mrs. Houston's treatment again consisted of Foley catheterization. Her condition upon discharge was stable, but her prognosis was, as before, "guarded due to multiple disease entities." 22 On August 26, 1980, Mrs. Houston entered the hospital for the fifth time.

The final diagnosis upon her discharge some 12 days later included early congestive heart failure, hypertensive cardiovascular disease including blood pressure of 180/140, macrocytic anemia, costochondritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and anxiety depression syndrome. In commenting about her condition upon discharge, her physician stated that "[r]egardless of Mrs. Houston's medical stability at present, her absence of chest pain, control of hypertension, due to her multiplicity of disease entities and numerous hospitalizations, it is in my opinion, unlikely that she will ever be gainfully employedand I have advised Mrs. Houston not to seek work." (Emphasis added). Her physician also wrote a letter to the same effect to the Appeals Council on March 24, 1981. On discharge, Mrs. Houston's prognosis was poor, and she was confined for the first week after discharge pending an appointment with her physician. 24 On November 26, 1981, Mrs. Houston was hospitalized for a seventh time, and was discharged seven days later, on December 3, 1981, with a final diagnosis including mild hypertension, severe urinary tract infection, oral fungal infection, and vaginitis.

Additionally, the diversity of npr genes decreased with increasing soil depth revealing the highest values in upper layers.

Militants, including suicide bombers, killed at least 13 Yemeni troops outside the southeastern port city of Mukalla today, the army said, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group. An army official spoke of three suicide bombings and held rival jihadists of Al-Qaeda responsible, but an IS statement posted online said one of its militants was behind the attack. It was a rare intervention by IS in the city which was held by rival jihadists of Al-Qaeda for a year until they were driven out by government troops last month. "A knight of the knights of martyrdom, brother Hamza al-Muhajir... Was able to detonate his explosives-laden car at a post of the apostates of the militia of (President Abedrabbo Masour) Hadi," the IS statement said. Several soldiers were also wounded inthe attack on the eastern outskirts of the Hadramawt provincial capital, the military official said. The deadly assault came shortly before Prime Minister Ahmed bin Dagher arrived in Mukalla with several ministers on a one-day visit aimed at reviving government institutions in the city, a local official said. One suicide bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the gate of a base in the Khalf district, followed immediately by a second who blew up a car in the centre of the camp, the military official said. Jihadists clashed with soldiers outside the base immediately after the bombings. A third suicide bomber targeted the nearby residence of the commander of Hadramawt's second military region, General Faraj Salmeen, but he escaped unharmed, the official said.

of the Commission's findings are unsupported, we reverse and remand for redetermination of DeLaughter's loss of wage earning capacity. FACTS Frank DeLaughter was employed by South Central Tractor Parts, a farm implements salvage dealer in Leland, Mississippi. He had worked for South Central since 1984 as a yardman and a stockman, tearing down old tractors and other equipment, steam cleaning parts, and placing them on storage racks. DeLaughter, who was thirty-five years old when he was injured, has only an eighth grade education and has worked always as a semi-skilled laborer. On September 24, 1987, DeLaughter sustained a compensable injury to his back when he fell from a six-foot-high "bolder rack." He was treated and released at the Delta Medical Center, but sought further treatment from his family doctor for painin his right shoulder and both "flanks," the area his physician described as spanning "[l]aterally, between the rib cage and wings of the pelvis." He returned to work shortly thereafter. Although he complained of back pain to his family and co-workers, DeLaughter continued working, often putting in considerable overtime, until April 2, 1988. After taking a two week vacation in March, 1988, DeLaughter returned to work for several days, and then, without notifying his supervisor, left. In April, 1988, DeLaughter sought further treatment from doctors in Greenville and Jackson. Still complaining of back pain, DeLaughter then went to see Dr. Albert Azordegan, a Jackson neurosurgeon, on July 15, 1988. Dr. Azordegan prescribed medicine for pain and saw DeLaughter again on July 29 and August 8. The August evaluation revealed an

who can competently render an author's thoughts into the translator's own language, should certainly be able to adequately render, in his own language, any thoughts of his own. Translating (like analytic philosophy) compels precise analysis of language elements and of their usage. In 1946 the poet Ezra Pound, then at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in Washington, D.C., advised a visitor, the 18-year-old beginning poet W.S. Merwin: "The work of translation is the best teacher you'll ever have." Merwin, translator-poet who took Pound's advice to heart, writes of translation as an "impossible, unfinishable" art.

They haveversion of the language—original texts, or old translations—may become difficult for modern readers to understand. Such a text may therefore be translated into more modern language, producing a "modern translation" (e.g., a "modern English translation" or "modernized translation"). Such modern rendering is applied either to literature from classical languages such as Latin or Greek, notably to the Bible (see "Modern English Bible translations"), or to literature from an earlier stage of the same language, as with the works of William Shakespeare (which are largely understandable by a modern audience, though with some difficulty) or with Geoffrey Chaucer's Middle-English Canterbury Tales (which is understandable to most modern readers only through heavy dependence on footnotes).

Plaintiffs allege that FNBB acted maliciously and with specific intent to prejudice and defraud third party creditors of Novedades, or at the very least was negligent in managing Novedades' affairs to the detriment of Novedades' creditors. Plaintiffs' complaint lists the following causes of action:deliver whatever cash payments were necessary *84 to eliminate the deficit or to give FNBB additional collateral.[7] Pursuant to the credit agreement Novedades opened two accounts with FNBB—a corporate checking account and a depository account. The corporate checking account (account no. 1004959) was exclusively funded by loans disbursed by the bank under the line of credit; Novedades never deposited funds of its own in this account. The depository account (number no. 1004967) was used by Novedades to deposit the proceeds from the sale of its inventory, which collateralized the loans disbursed by FNBB to Novedades under the line of credit; this type of account is known as a factor's lien account.

The UK cluster appears to have originated from a man who recently travelled to Saudi Arabia, where NCoV was first isolated in September 2012. After two of the man\'s family members also fell ill, John Watson, the head of the UK\'s Health Protection Agency, said that such a cluster "suggests that person-to-person transmission occurred" but gave no reason for increased alarm, as indicated by an unchanged risk assessment from the WHO ([*Reuters*](http://uk.reuters.com/), 13 Feb 2013).

Requiring only the power of moving water – rivers, streams and ocean tides– hydropower is also domestic and sustainable. Free from a dependence on volatile fuel prices, much of the money invested in hydropower stays in America and expanding hydro capacity would create hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs. Available Hydropower is keeping the lights on in every region of the country. It is America’s largest source of clean electricity, accounting for 52 percent of all renewable energy generation in the United States, and with the right policies, it has significant room to grow. Reliable Hydropower has been a reliable source of power in the United States for over 100 years. That proven reliability benefits the national electric grid

I anticipate getting to one of these in the future. But if I had to name the Kanigher story that possesses the strongest mythicity, it would be the story in which he introduced Poison Ivy to the Batman mythos-- though it's been said that the new villainess was created in part because allegedlythe producers of the ABC Bat-teleseries requested more female characters in the comics franchise, and that both editor Julie Scwhartz and artist Carmine Infantino were involved in Ivy's conception.)

She was a skilled mountaineer who scaled many of the Alpine peaks - there was a close brush with death on the Finnsterarhorn glacier in 1902 - and then in rapid succession she explored Jerusalem, Petra, Palmyra, Syria and the Druze country.

When Brown asked if he had permission to leave, they told him that he was free to go. One officer then asked him to come back and asked to see Brown's hands. Although there were several officers present, none of them had physical contact with Brown, and the officers explicitly told Brown that he was free to leave.

"Since Maa joined us in 2013 as an artist, she has also contributed her professionalism on organization, communication and leadership towards the company," Tre Xiong, the chief executive officer of the company, said in a press release. "Maa's talent and her passion helped build this foundation (and) has really impressed me and I could not be more pleased about her appointment." Yellow Diamond Records currently has seven artists signed to its label, all young Hmong people, four men and three women. The company's mission in part is to promote emerging artists of various genres, releasemusic, organize tours and preserve the Hmong language through music. For Vue, the promotion is a dream come true. The 28-year-old singer/songwriter has been performing for audiences since she was a young teen in middle school while growing up in Green Bay. But she also was ambitious, yearning to become more involved in the business and organization of the music company. She and Xiong mapped out a plan for her to become a bigger part of Yellow Diamond Records, Vue said, "but I didn't expect this to happen so soon." Vue has released two albums and is currently working on a third. As president, Vue also will be responsible for the small recording company's marketing, financial reports, coordinating events and mentoring artists. Her main goal, Vue said, is to grow the label's stable

TEHRAN — Over the past year, conservatives here have often fulminated against the role played by Iranian exiles, who helped organize protests against the disputed 2009 presidential election across the globe. But last week, the Iranian government paid for several hundred “highly placed” Iranians living abroad to come back for a three-day, all-expenses-paid trip. They were invited as part of a high-profile effort to repair Iran’s pariah image, win over some of the expatriates and, not least, draw some much-needed foreign capital to Iran’s troubled economy. The guests were treated to a musical performance, a fawning speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — complete with oddly inappropriate wisecracks — and a trip to the tourist destination of their choice. The event did not exactly go as planned. The gathering, officially known as theaccessories.- Live music will also be a part of the day's events, with local reggae band Irations playing at noon.

Aside from activities and games, NORML will be presenting informational displays about its campaign topics, ranging from medical marijuana to the United States' "War on Drugs." Although NORML will celebrate cannabis culture, such as the use of hemp, Vazquez said the organization's endorsement is not necessarily taboo.

After the smoke cleared, the Confederate forces emerged victorious. With fresh losses by the Confederates at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the victory at Chickamauga was a much-needed turn-around for the South. It was the largest Confederate victory in the west, and the second bloodiest battle of the Civil War, costing the Union 16,170 men and the Confederacy 18,454 soldiers. While Chickamauga was a victory, Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s hesitation to continue the attack allowed the Union forces to retreat to Chattanooga and regroup. There they were reinforced by General Ulysses S. Grant and would score a victory in November, turning Chickamauga

Friday, June 27, 2014 Strengthening school libraries is an easy and inexpensive way to improve school performance ("CPS board warned of drought of librarians," June 26.) There is enormous evidence that self-selected pleasure reading is the source of much of our literacy development: Those who read more read better, write better, spell better, have larger vocabularies, and better grammar. Most students in CPS live in poverty. Students who live in poverty are "behind" in reading because they have few books in their homes, live in neighborhoods with few bookstores and few good public libraries. Their only sure source of books is the school library. The importance of the school has been confirmed in study after study: Better school libraries with credentialed libraries mean higher reading scores. In our recent study,

Classic comics were more acceptable to parents and teachers, but studies done at this time revealed that students were not nearly as enthusiastic. In one study, seventh graders rated ninth of 15 comic types in popularity, and when students are simply asked what"Key to student success lies in the home" (June 11) is going viral, as they say these days.It is a clear statement of the insanity gripping education, and points clearly to the most important issues: Poverty and parent-child relationships. A great of evidence supports Mr. de Vinck's argument: Study after study confirms that middle-class American children in well-funded schools outperform nearly every country in the world on international tests: As de Vinck states, the problem is not teachers, unions, or lack of technology, it is poverty.Poverty means insufficent nutrition, lack of health care, and lack of access to books, all of which are associated with poor school performance.It is also likely that poverty and the stress it places on parents contributes to what Mr. de Vinck calls "chaos in the home."

On one occasion the roof of the Town Hole collapsed, covering Will in chalk and earning him the nickname 'Flourdumpling'. Soon after Frodo Baggins left Bag End, Lotho Sackville-Baggins began buying properties in the Southfarthing. With the aid of Ruffians in the pay of Saruman, Lotho quickly took control of the Shire. When Will went to Bag End to protest, he was seized by the Ruffians and locked up. He spent nearly a year in imprisonment, until he was released after the Scouring of the Shire. He spent several months recovering, during which time FrodoMexico's army and federal police were recently deployed to the Mexican state of Michoacan to deal with the ongoing battle between the Knights Templar drug cartel and vigilante groups known as "autodefensas".

According to an AP report titled "Mexico Gov't Faces Vigilante Monster It Created", the US State Department "said that the warring between vigilantes and the cartel is 'incredibly worrisome' and [that it is] 'unclear if any of those actors have the community's best interests at heart'".

As many more hardcore fans are probably aware, the composer of Shining in the Darkness and Shining Force - Masahiko Yoshimura - has those two titles only under their belt. This seems a bit unusual, especially considering the Shining Force soundtrack in particular is fairly popular and high quality.

The Mets scored seven unearned runs in the eighth inning to break open a tie game. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in attendance with his family while on vacation. While facing Matt Clark with two outs, Medlen threw an off-speed pitch, grabbed his right elbow and turned his back to home plate. He then removed himself from the game. Medlen, picked to start on opening day, was examined by Mets physician Dr. Struan Coleman and diagnosed with a right forearm strain pending an evaluation back at the Braves' complex on Monday. Medlen

It's never a good sign, never a good feeling, to be out there and see a pitcher walk off the mound like that," Gattis said. "On the last pitch, he just threw a yanked changeup -- I've never seen that -- and immediately there was a problem. ... He was throwing good pitches, and then it was just an out-of-the-blue kind of thing." STARTING TIME Mets: Though his numbers were solid in his second start this spring, New York right-hander Zack Wheeler wasn't happy with his effort. Wheeler tossed three scoreless innings and gave up three hits, striking out three andwalking one. Still, he said: "I'd like to forget what I did out there." Wheeler, who grew up near Atlanta, said he experimented against the Braves and tried a few different things, such as throwing changeups to right-handed batters. "Today was really just about going out there and working on some stuff, just because you face those guys tons during the season. I was trying to work on my changeup some today, and I was a little erratic," he said.

"I've broken down many times crying and I haven't been able to sleep," says Heidi Yeh, as she struggles to fight back tears. "The biggest loss for me is I don't want to be a model anymore.

in two "teacherages" across the street from his home so he could oversee their activities. He would frequently sit in on classes and evaluate teaching techniques. He demanded course outline from each teacher at the beginning of each semester with progress reports at regular intervals during the academic year. At graduation time each year, Pearson traveled to Southern and Eastern Colleges to try to recruit the best teachers possible. Despite his stringent demands, "Profs" Pearson was well liked by students, faculty and community members. In a Principal Popularity Contest sponsored by the Carolina Times newspaper for black schools in Durham, Pearson came in third with an impressive showing of votes (each ticket sent in counted as 500 votes). Pearson also made outstanding contributions as a member of themy first years as a new group leader was to organise a meeting at my university. I wanted to get to know more people in my community (especially since I had just moved back from the United States to Europe), and the easiest way was to get them all together for a meeting. I teamed up with a more senior colleague who already had a big network, and received some funding from the European Science Foundation to organise what they called an "exploratory workshop"---a small meeting of about 30 PIs from all over Europe. Participation was by invitation only, and the talks were very short and focussed, in order to leave room for discussion. The setup was so successful that I've kept doing it \[[@pcbi.1004387.ref019]--[@pcbi.1004387.ref022]\]. The talks are

Whether we liked him or didn't like him, we've been with him for six years." On Wednesday, Blagojevich is scheduled to make his first visit to the state Capitol since his Dec. 9 arrest on federal corruption charges for allegedly trying to trade on his office for personal and political profit, including naming a U.S. senator. His arrest spurred the House to move forward with his impeachment. Conviction in a Senate trial could mean Blagojevich's removal from office. There are several issues big and small surrounding Blagojevich's participation in the inauguration of the Illinois Senate. TheSenate president will swear in the chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, Thomas Fitzgerald, as presiding officer over the trial. The senators will be sworn in as jurors under oath by the Senate secretary. At the same time, the Senate is dispensing with its honor of designating senators to serve as a committee to escort the governor out of the ornate legislative chambers. Senate leaders plan to direct the chamber's sergeant-at-arms to deliver to Blagojevich a summons directing him and his lawyers to respond to the article of impeachment filed by the House. "It's probably more awkward for him than it is for us. I'm not sure he understands that," said Christine Radogno (R-Lemont), the incoming Senate minority leader. "I just don't sense that he grasps the seriousness of

Gordon has captured seven poles (no other driver has more than four) and 25 top-five finishes (only one other driver,Mark Martin is second with 21). In one remarkable stretch, Gordon finished in the top five in 17 consecutive races, one shy of the record David Pearson set in 1968, and he made a shambles of the championship race while running away from Martin, who trails Gordon by 344 points despite winning a respectable seven races. "He's a lot smarter now, I can tell you that, and a lot more experienced. He might ever be braver," says Ray Evernham, Gordon's crew chief, whoThat he is doing it at an age (27) when Earnhardt still was winless only further stirs his detractors, who simply increase their booing when he smiles and slides easily off into the bright sunset he has created for himself. Gordon has accepted the fate of any great artist. ("I know people have criticized me as being phony, but that's not true," he says.) Yet even here, as he stands astride his sport, the raging competitor that lives within him remains the dominant force. This is a truth Gordon proves constantly on the track and the truth he reiterates when he says, "Just being out there is challenging to me. "That's why this (the season championship) means an awful lot. I don't know what to say when you work your

based on the medieval stonemason guilds who built the great castles and cathedrals of Europe. Modern Freemasons likewise use the tools, traditions and terminology of those earlier stonemasons as allegories for building Temples in the hearts of men. It's said that we are a secret society. We do indeed have secrets—secrets that each individual man has to discover for and about himself. At its core, Freemasonry is simply an attempt to make the world a better place, one man at a time. For that man, it can become as simple or as complicated as he himself desires. It's not for everybody. Maybe it's for you.

Who will protect the ruling class and harass black teenagers when everyone in the NYPD has occluded arteries? Such were my thoughts on Monday morning, the first birthday of Occupy Wall Street. I was with about 800 people of the Strike Debt branch of OWS who gathered at 55 Water Street, an unloved and unused Vietnam memorial with no grass in the tradition of Zucotti Park before the original occupation.

Biochemistry needs to be taught and learned effectively in the context of the disease or a medical problem to facilitate the transfer of this knowledge in terms of diagnosis and treatment of the patients once they graduate and practice in the community ([@CIT0001]). Saveetha Medical College and Hospital was established in 2008, with an aim to provide quality medical education by adopting and implementing the active and self -- directed learning strategies in its curriculum. The first batch of medical students was admitted during the academic year 2008--2009, and like in other medical schools in India, biochemistry is taught through didactic lectures.
