New Philly Trial BOMBSHELL: Historic Conviction of Msgr. Lynn May Have Been Based Upon False Confession
Innocent men? Startling new information in the cases of Edward V. Avery and Msgr. William J. Lynn
Was the historic conviction in June of Philadelphia's Msgr. William J. Lynn based on a crime that never even happened?!
Ralph Cipriano at the Philadelphia Priest Abuse Trial Blog has exclusively reported that a motion filed on Monday in Pennsylvania Superior Court "contains a bombshell disclosure – that Father [sic] Edward V. Avery passed a polygraph test indicating he had never touched the former 10-year-old altar boy he pleaded guilty to abusing."
Before the start of the historic trial last spring, the former priest Avery entered his guilty plea to the abuse charges against him. And it was becausefor abusing a boy in 1978. Avery was removed from ministry, but after a psychologist concluded that Avery was an alcoholic and had a bi-polar disorder – not a pedophile – the priest was returned to limited ministry. In 2009, a new individual, named "Billy" in the 2011 grand jury report, came forward to claim that Avery and two other men – Rev. Charles Engelhardt and former teacher Bernard Shero – had molested and raped him in the 1998-1999 school year. (The trial for Engelhardt and Shero begins in October. Both men strongly deny the charges against them.)
As Avery sat in the courtroom before the start of the trial, he certainly knew that his previous accusation, which he was likely guilty of, would be used forcefully against him.

Obviously a system could not tranform from the pagan to the christian overnight in terms of same sex sexuality.
People, culture had to slowly adapt and or be adapted from the "yehaw" sexuallity of pagan days (Though the bible in the OT says it's o.k. to have sex slaves.[ if you treat them "nice" I guess?]) to the new world order of sexual shame and guilt re enforced by Augustine; Aquinas and their followers.

But McGloin was the worst.
Yesterday when I saw these records for the first time and learned that Fr. Clemens, who I told when I was 16 what was happening to me, absolutly wrecked me. Clemens, later became the head of the Marianists in Calif and Hawaii ( or up there I don't know or care what his title was) I know Clemens was definitely McGloin's boss. And for years he was his boss and friend. It seems like quite a narrow little world.
And all those years I thought that after me they would have booted McGloin; but no he left himself in 1970 to marry a nun who had left. I heard that from Bro. Bolts at my 20 yr. reunion.

Blacks, some players decided to form a club based on similar lines to famous clubs in England. As a result, the New Zealand Barbarians was formed in Auckland and the Hamilton Harlequins in Waikato.
It was decided to ask the London Harlequins for approval for the club to be called the Harlequin FC and to use the same colours. This permission was granted and the club played its first match in Tauranga in 1939, but before the club could establish itself the Second World War intervened. The club was revived after the war in 1946.
Many All Blacks have played in the New Zealand Harlequin’s jersey over the years and, since the inclusion of the under 17 development programme in 1992, the club has given a clear development pathwaysystem.

Biden lamented Wednesday's Senate vote on the call but said it had taken him multiple attempts to pass the Brady Bill in the 1990s. He said that in the long run, supporters of gun control will win out over the NRA and its allies.
Update: A White House official told BuzzFeed the executive actions Biden was referring to on the call are part of Obama's original list of 23 executive actions on guns announced in January.

six centuries from 600 BC a group of revolutionary thinkers -- from Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus and Aristotle to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria -- formalised the rules and language of modern mathematics.
For Greek thinkers, maths wasn't simply a means of calculating amounts but a way of testing reality and understanding the true nature of the world around them. Indeed, Pythagoras is believed to have coined both the words "philosophy" ("love of wisdom") and "mathematics" ("that which is learned"). In turn, Euclid came to be known as the "father of geometry".
At the heart of this new understanding, was the concept of "the proof", developed by Euclid in what is commonly regarded as the most important and successful mathematical textbook of all time -- the "Stoicheion" or "Elements". BuiltArchaic Greece, the time period that
follows the Greek Dark Ages. We also discuss the development of writing
and the polis during this transitional period.

The Greek Legacy: How the Ancient Greeks shaped modern mathematics
A two-minute animated adventure to Ancient Greece and back again - voiced by Numberphile's JamesGrime!
Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, sport and also mathematics. Over six centuries from 600 BC a group of revolutionary thinkers -- from Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus and Aristotle to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria -- formalised the rules and language of modern mathematics.
For Greek thinkers, maths wasn't simply a means of calculating amounts but a way of testing reality and understanding the true nature of the world around them.

& Taylor dumpsters to furnish the school. Even though they have no skills beyond growing pot and making dream catchers, "the hippies," as Daniel calls them, are given a few bogus degrees and drafted to fill out the faculty.
By September the new school, christened "Our House," after the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song, is ready for business. Our House promises to be "self-governing and democratic" and to put students "back in touch with their natural 'goodness.' " Teachers are called "tutor-collaborators," and the curriculum offers flaky fare such as "Coyote in Native American Myth." The school motto, emblazoned on a handmade banner in the front room, is "Act first. Ask permission later."
Predictably enough, Our House attracts "a woolly band of underachievers who figured they'd pulled the ultimatescam on their folks, signing up for a pressure-free school." There's Brie, the 16-year-old nymphomaniac who's already been kicked out of two other schools, and Quinn, a black foster kid whom the Truitts enroll after they catch him stealing their television.
For a few months, Our House flourishes on high principles and high energy, just like the Carter administration. The Inauguration Day parade is the school's first field trip for Pete's "Government: Man and His Institutions" course. Taking Carter's plea for conservation to heart, the students winterize Our House and plant a garden in the sunless yard. The hippies manage to keep their drug use and free-love behavior under control, or so it seems.
It can't last, of course. After 100 days, both the Carter administration and Our House start

UFO spotted in Sao Paulo?
Amateur footage from Brazil appears to show a UFO hovering over the city of
Sao Paulo before disappearing in a flash of light.
7:26PM GMT 02 Mar 2011
A video, shown on Brazilian TV station G1, shows blurry images of a disc-shaped object hovering in the clouds for a minute or so – before disappearing in a bright flash followed by a trail of colourful bursts.
The television station explained the clip originated from two motorists who saw the object as they were driving near the town of Agudos in Sao Paulo state. They hopped out of the car to shoot the video with their hand-held camera.
According to the TV station, the cameramen reported the earth shaking at the same time the unidentified flying object vanished in aMADE AS LONG AS 'RADICAL LEFT' INSISTS ON CALLING GOP 'RACIST'

"One of the coping mechanisms families use is to take their children out of school so they can work," said WFP's Pakistan Country Director Wolfgang Herbinger.
Encourage school attendance
"We're giving a 4-litre tin of edible oil to hundreds of thousands of boys and girls every month so as to encourage regular school attendance and a 50 kg bag of wheat flour to their parents every quarter.
This operation was boosted recently by the signing of a $22.3 million funding agreement between WFP and USAID (United States Agency for International Development). The USA, along with Saudi Arabia and Japan, had already given funds earlier to launch the project.
In addition, WFP is soon to launch another emergency operation for people who have been displaced by conflict.
Food assistance toIDPs
The ongoing fighting between the armed forces and militants in the Northwest Frontier Province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has forced hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to safer places. Inter-tribal violence in the FATA has also resulted in large numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Using funds from its Immediate response account, WFP has already been able to provide food assistance to 208,000 displaced people, 171,000 of them living in host communities and 37,000 were in IDP camps. The new emergency operation will create a firm structure for continued support.

percent. Nothing remotely like that had been seen since the end of the Second World War.
The U.S. economy itself was on the brink of a meltdown that could have sent unemployment far beyond the 10 percent level it would reach in the depths of the recession. Banks refused to lend to one another, and industrial production fell at an annualized rate of 18 percent in the last four months of 2008.
Remember how then-President George W. Bush elegantly put it: "[T]his sucker could go down."
The financial free fall ended when Timothy Geithner, then president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and later Barack Obama's first Treasury Secretary, successfully argued to Bush that the U.S. had to guarantee all financial transactions, following the example of Britain. The Bush administrationon the Chinese stock market. But even if Chinese stock markets stabilize for some time to come, the underlying problems of the Chinese economy are likely to get worse. As a recent SocialistWorker.org editorial explained, the roots of the current crisis lie in the way China responded to the financial crash of 2008 and the Great Recession.
As the U.S. Fed was pumping money into the system through quantitative easing in late 2008 and early 2009, China launched a $635 billion stimulus plan of its own--bigger, proportionate to the size of the Chinese economy, than that of the U.S.
Alongside this stimulus came a vast expansion of credit. China's total private and public debt is now 282 percent of its gross domestic product--a lower percentage than the U.S., but unprecedented

it enters into oil and gas land leases and partnerships, and it markets securities to finance these and other operations.
In 1972 plaintiff adopted the trade name "EXXON", a coined term first registered as a trademark in 1968. Plaintiff subsequently spent $70 million advertising that trade name in conjunction with its overall corporate activities, in particular with its consumer gasoline sales and automobile service stations. Its success has been such that the term "Exxon" has become literally a household word.
Plaintiff's other trademark relevant to this suit is "Oilex", a mark first registered in 1923 and used by some unspecified fraction of the plaintiff's service stations in connection with the marketing of a low grade lubricant manufactured by the plaintiff.
Defendants are XOIL Energy Resources, Inc. ("XOIL"), a corporation organized inpartnerships in oil and gas drilling ventures. As ancillary businesses, the defendants have also formed subsidiaries engaged in the leasing of lands thought to bear oil and gas deposits, the sale of oil and gas-related limited partnership interests, and energy research. The parent company and a subsidiary have issued stock to the public, and one or both have sought to raise funds for energy exploration ventures from individuals as well as institutional lending sources.

The hand-me-down trade also employs thousands of people in some countries.
African countries once had large textile industries - and some critics blame the flood of cheap second-hand clothes from abroad for the continent's shrunken textile sector.
Money from rags
There has long been a global trade in second-hand clothes, handed in to charity shops in wealthy Western nations and then sold on to traders in Africa and elsewhere in the world.
This is big business. Some of the wholesale traders in African nations have established highly profitable businesses.
However, some African countries have had enough of hand-me-downs and the impact they are having on local industries.
In 2015, member states of the East African Community (EAC) , which comprises Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, announced theywould ban second-hand imports from 2019 to protect their own clothing manufacturers.
East African countries, which account for 13% of the global market in second-hand textiles (worth a total of $274m (£208m) in 2015), began imposing tariffs.

But then, under pressure from the United States, countries in the EAC reduced tariffs and withdrew the proposed ban. Rwanda, however, refused to back down.
And in March 2018, the US temporarily suspended Rwanda from an arrangement allowing sub-Saharan countries preferential access to the US market.
But Rwanda stood firm and maintained its import tariffs, saying it wanted to build up its own "Made in Rwanda" textile industry.
And, as a result, it lost some of its duty-free privileges on exports to the US.
However, the planned import ban by East African countries

located in Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg.
Frans Baleni, NUM's general secretary, told journalists Thursday that the rival AMCU is having success in attracting members at the Impala Platinum (Implats) mine because of special "muti," or traditional medicines, made from ingredients that can include plants and animal parts.
Muti is an important practice in southern Africa, and South Africans from all walks of life seek out traditional cures for ailments ranging from rashes to erectile dysfunction, as well as for magical purposes such as bringing good fortune in love and business.
In addition to muti, NUM's members also believe the AMCU has a "very strong 'sangoma'," or witchdoctor, according to Reuters.
AMCU officials have denied they are using witchcraft. But Baleni said the issue can't be taken lightly because many of the union'smineworkers, which number more than 300,000 in total, believe in such things.
"We are taking it seriously as part of the tactics of this union as our members are telling us about the use of sangomas and muti," Baleni told Reuters.
BusinessDay reported Thursday that NUM "has as good as lost its majority" at the Implats mine, with more than 8,000 employees having left to join the AMCU. The newspaper described it as the biggest setback NUM has experienced since its founding in 1982.
A strike that closed the mine for six weeks also resulted in dozens of people being injured. Protesters barricaded roads, set fire to a police office and attacked miners going to work with guns, axes, stones and "knobkerries" (wooden clubs).

the affidavit of her husband in opposition to summary judgment, in which Mr. Jones affirmed his denial of having told Kratzer that the personal property was damaged by the tree limb *399 falling on the service entrance line. The trial court granted the summary judgment for Farm Bureau on Mrs. Jones's bad faith claim.
On October 21, 1985, Mrs. Jones moved the trial court to vacate the grant of partial summary judgment and to allow her to amend her complaint by adding a count for fraud. Mrs. Jones offered the affidavit of Willard Scott, an appliance repairman, who stated that, in his opinion, the damage to Mrs. Jones's personal property was caused by lightning, not by a power surge. In addition, Mrs. Jones offered an affidavit of Harley Harrison,and associational rights under the federal and state constitutions. Defendants now move to dismiss the Amended Complaint on the ground that this Court should abstain in light of the several related proceedings.[1] For the reasons discussed below, this case will be placed on the Court's suspense docket.
BACKGROUND
I. Parties and Procedural History
Plaintiff Charles Manna is a teacher employed by defendant Greenburgh No. 11 School District (the "District"). He was one of the lead organizers and former chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee, a group of teachers who purportedly advocate on behalf of children attending the District's schools. He is also a member of the Greenburgh No. 11 Federation of Teachers (the "Union"), a collective bargaining agent representing teachers employed by the District.
The District was specially created by the State

of New York to operate schools for emotionally disturbed children who reside at Children's Village, a private, not-for-profit therapeutic residential care facility in Dobbs Ferry. Defendant Esther Ridder is the president of the District's Board of Education (the "School Board") and vice-president of the Board of Directors of Children's Village. The School Board is selected by the Board of Directors of Children's Village. Defendant Sandra Mallah is the District's Superintendent of Schools.
The original Complaint in this action was filed in May 1992 by Manna and then-plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee. The Complaint sought injunctive, declaratory, and compensatory relief against the District and Ridder based on a policy adopted by the District that limited the distribution of literature on school premises. On May 31, 1995, shortly after being transferred tothis Judge, the action was placed on the suspense docket due to the pendency of a related state court action. That state action is still awaiting trial.
On December 29, 1997, plaintiff filed the Amended Complaint, which withdrew the Ad Hoc Committee as a co-plaintiff and added Mallah as a defendant. The Amended complaint restated the charges in the original Complaint, and added new charges of unconstitutional retaliation. The retaliation claims stem from the District's preferral of disciplinary charges against plaintiff and other teachers in November 1994 and June 1997, and from the District's decision to reassign plaintiff to non-teaching duties and bar him from District premises and School Board meetings pending resolution of the disciplinary charges.
II. Injunction Action

action (the "Injunction Action") that paralleled the allegations in the original Complaint. The Injunction Action was commenced on October 20, 1993 by Children's Village, and amended to include the District as co-plaintiff. Among other things, these plaintiffs sought an injunction prohibiting the Union from distributing written material on Children's Village and District premises and preventing the Union from further involving the schoolchildren in any labor dispute. In response, the Union contended *464 that its activities were protected by the First Amendment.
On November 22, 1993, the state court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Union members from distributing written materials to anyone on Children's Village grounds or distributing such materials to any Children's Village student anywhere.[2] On March 10, 1994, the court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining the Unionfrom picketing or distributing written material at a Children's Village dinner. Union members, however, violated the TRO and accordingly were held in criminal and civil contempt. The Appellate Division affirmed the contempt order, and on December 23, 1996 the Union filed a motion for leave to the Court of Appeals. That motion is pending.
On August 2, 1994, the Union removed the Injunction Action to federal court, but the case was immediately remanded to state court. On December 9, 1994, the state court issued a second preliminary injunction prohibiting the Union from displaying or distributing written material relating to the labor dispute on Children's Village premises. The court also permitted the filing of an amended complaint adding the District as co-plaintiff. In May 1995 the Union moved to dismiss

In response to this request, RIDS personnel atthe melt which is formed in the fusion region to result in a strong welded connection being formed between the component and the metal structure on subsequent cooling.
One form of welding process is the so called drawn arc welding process which involves positioning the component to be welded to the metal sheet within a weld gun and bringing the component into electrical contact with the metallic surface to complete an initial circuit indicating that the metal component is in contact with the metal sheet. The weld cycle is then initiated whereby the stud is withdrawn from the work surface inducing a pilot arc which serves to help clean both the component and the work surface before a main welding current is initiated creating a weld arc between the

Aaron Alexis reportedly accessed the Navy Yard with a valid "Common Access Card" much like the one above.
Department of Defense
A day after police say a 34-year-old civilian contractor and ex-Navy reservist killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard, questions are being asked about how a man with a troubled service record and signs of mental instability had clearance to be on base.
Aaron Alexis, the suspected lone gunman who was killed by police in Monday's attack, was issued a "secret" level government clearance in March 2008, some three years before being discharged from the Navy, NPR's Tom Bowman said, citing Pentagon officials.
At the time of the shooting, Alexis was working for Hewlett-Packard subcontractor The Experts on a Navy-Marine Corps computer project at the Navy Yard. In a statementcalled in the military's acronym-laden vernacular, a "CAC" — to get onto the base Monday.
A Department of Defense website describes the access pass as "a 'smart' card about the size of a credit card" that serves as "the standard identification for active duty uniformed service personnel, Selected Reserve, DoD civilian employees, and eligible contractor personnel. It is also the principal card used to enable physical access to buildings and controlled spaces, and it provides access to DoD computer networks and systems."
The website outlines a four-step process for obtaining the card — which includes being "sponsored by a DoD government official or employee," successfully completing a background investigation that includes an FBI fingerprint check and a "National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) check."
The Navy clarified Tuesday that despite

London: Muammar Gaddafi is believed to be hiding near the western town of Ghadamis near the Algerian border under the protection of Tawareq tribesmen, a senior Libyan military official said.
"One tribe, the Tawareq, is still supporting him and he is believed to be in the Ghadamis area in the south," Hisham Buhagiar, a senior military official of the Libya's new leadership, told Reuters by telephone late on Tuesday.
Buhagiar, coordinator of the hunt for Gaddafi, said the ousted Libyan leader was believed to have been in the southern town of Samnu a week ago before moving to Ghadamis, which lies 550 km (345 miles) southwest of Tripoli.
He said Gaddafi's son Saif Al Islam was in Bani Walid and another son, Mutassem, was in Sirte, the family's home town.
"They areboth thinking about leaving Libya maybe to Niger," Buhagiar added.
Sirte, one of the last bastions of support for Gaddafi, is encircled by forces of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) and under bombardment from NATO warplanes.
Taking Sirte, 450 km east of Tripoli, would bring the NTC closer to gaining control of the whole country, a goal that has eluded it more than a month after its fighters seized the capital.
Buhagiar said most tribes in the south were against Gaddafi except for the Tawareq, who still supported him.
"There has been a fight between Tawareq tribesmen who are loyal to Gaddafi and Arabs living there (in the south). We are negotiating. The Gaddafi search is taking a different course," Buhagiar said, without elaborating.

Reader Arby wrote in to report that he had noticed that "the Sunoco Gas Station at 289 Hamilton Ave, ( Between West 9 St And Huntington St. ) has closed. They have removed all the gasoline pumps and are removing the fixtures from inside the store."
Sure enough. All the pumps are gone. The Dunkin Donuts store in the small Sunoco 'mart' building is still open, as notes on the window clearly indicate. Not sure for how much longer…
With rising real estate prices, gas stations are becoming increasingly rare. Where do you fill up in the neighborhood.

kept upselling him while he was on a date with Van and only had $62 to his name? — but still demonstrates a remarkable gift for making bad decisions with the cash he has on hand.
There are still absurdist touches in the margins, like Darius becoming convinced that all the “Florida Man” headlines he sees on the internet refer to the same guy. And there are still some audacious shifts in tone, like a largely dramatic cameo from an unrecognizable Katt Williams in the season premiere. But it all feels more of a piece, and a bit more down to earth, than the first season.
Considering how much of the excitement of season one was driven by its wild unpredictability, that Glover has dialed that back a fair amount(*)extraction
The mapping population S1 with 463 F1 offspring was created by crossing a diploid hybrid male clone ('Björn'; Salix viminalis × Salix schwerinii) to a diploid S. viminalis female clone (78183). The S. schwerinii parent to Björn originates from Siberia while the S. viminalis parent as well as 78183 originates from southern Sweden.

• That lone Lazio defeat – 1-0 to PFC Levski Sofia in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage – remains the only victory for a Bulgarian club in 23 visits to Italy, with Italian sides' home record against Bulgarian teams reading W17 D5 L1.
Match background• Lazio made it to last season's UEFA Europa League quarter-finals – their most successful European campaign since reaching the last four of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup.
• Lazio came through the UEFA Europa League group stage undefeated (W3 D3) for the second consecutive campaign, with a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their quarter-final elimination by Fenerbahçe SK last season extending their unbeaten run to seven games.
• Lazio are also unbeaten in ten European home fixtures (W7 D3) since a 3-1 lossto Club Atlético de Madrid at this stage of the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League.
• Ludogorets were only promoted to the Bulgarian top flight for the first time in 2011, but won back-to-back titles, and are now enjoying by far the best of their two campaigns in Europe, having made it to the group stage for the first time this season.
• Ludogorets progressed through the group stage in style (W5 D1), notably winning all three of their away fixtures.
Team facts• Ludogorets' Romanian midfielder Cosmin Moţi has some experience of Italian football, having played on loan at AC Siena in 2008. Moţi and Lazio defender Ştefan Radu were team-mates at FC Dinamo Bucureşti from 2005–08, winning the 2006/07 title together.

high enough to finance purchases of additional weapons directly from the companies and dealers that routinely profit from strife in the Middle East.
Experts say the fact that the armaments have such disparate sources — some were even made at a major U.S. munitions plant in Missouri — provides a cautionary note as Washington prepares to undertake expanded shipments of military supplies, including small arms, to rebel groups in Syria and to a revived Iraqi Army.
"We faced an enormous [monitoring] challenge when we, in effect, owned Iraq and had many bases where we could do this type of training," said Joseph Christoff, who directed international affairs and trade issues at the U.S. Government Accountability Office between 2000 and 2011, when the GAO repeatedly identified shortcomings in controlling the useand the former Soviet Union made a total of 492 of the recovered shells, according to the report. Russia has been a major arms supplier to the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, whose forces also have been battling the Islamic State.
The presence of such weapons in IS’s hands makes clear that its fighters seized substantial stocks not only from Iraqi troops, but from Syrian troops as well. Another 26 of the recovered shells were made in Iran, an ally of Assad’s, and 18 were made in Syria itself, the report states.
The next-biggest country of origin for IS’s weapons was China. Of the cartridges recovered from Islamic State forces 445 came from China.
The third-highest supplier was the United States, with 323 cartridges, the report said. Some of these shells,

measure.
The bill does not comply with Senate rules that prohibit certain legislation from adding to the deficit after 10 years. This could force Republicans to make some of the tax cuts temporary, though those decisions have not yet been made.
Senate Republicans briefed White House officials on the one-year delay, and Trump administration officials said they would accept such a provision. To try to prod companies into expansion next year, the Senate bill would allow companies to immediately deduct all capital investments in 2018. Companies would be allowed to immediately expense these investments for five years.
In a move that could cause major tension in the House, the Senate bill also would prohibit Americans from deducting certain state and local taxes from their federal bills, a change that could raisetaxes overall for Americans in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, California, Oregon and Illinois.
[5 big changes in the Senate tax bill (and what they mean for you)]
The Senate's approach to state and local taxes is at odds with that of the House, where Republicans settled on a compromise — scrapping some of the state and local deductions but still allowing a deduction of up to $10,000 on property taxes — after GOP lawmakers from high-tax states revolted against an initial House plan to scrap the deduction entirely.
The proposal to eliminate that deduction in the Senate and House bills would apply only to individuals and families, while businesses would still be allowed to claim the deduction. The discrepancy could further inflame Democrats, who have criticized the

Addison native, husband won't earn another Olympic medal, but they have already won big
Addison native Alexa Scimeca Knierim and her partner Chris Knierim react after their performance in the pairs figure skating short program in the Gangneung Ice Arena at the 2018 Winter Olympics on Wednesday. The pair scored a 65.55 in the short program, landing them in 14th place. Still the pair says the program is about so much more than their scores.Associated Press
By Chelsea JanesThe Washington Post
GANGNEUNG, South Korea -- Not a year and a half before Alexa Scimeca-Knierim slid onto the ice at Gangneung Ice Arena on Wednesday, she was wasting away. Pound by pound, week by week, one half of the best American pairs figure skating team withered to somewhere around 80 pounds. Theseems such a perfect place. Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
"[We] said to each other before we skated, enjoy everything out there -- even the mistakes," Scimeca-Knierim said. "Let's be proud of the mistakes. We're here, and that's an accomplishment."
When Scimeca-Knierim, 26, first got sick in the spring of 2016, no one could figure out what was wrong. She was plagued by vomiting and stomach trouble all of that summer, which included the duo's wedding, before finally being diagnosed with a gastrointestinal condition in August. She had two abdominal surgeries, tried to resume training and couldn't do it. By the time she had a third surgery in November of that year -- about 15 months before these Games -- she and her husband had no idea

Stavroulakis $2,000 for his participation in the scheme. Stavroulakis subsequently sold Maniquis a second set of stolen checks, drawn on the account of Nature's Gifts Ltd. at Bank Leumi. Stavroulakis received $500 from Maniquis as compensation for the Bank Leumi checks.
Jury Selection
10
A grand jury subsequently indicted Stavroulakis and Giziakis. Stavroulakis, however, went to trial alone because Giziakis became a fugitive. During jury selection, the district court questioned venireman Eddie Holmes, a black male who, in response to the judge's questioning, indicated that he was unmarried, without a full-time job, and had been employed "off and on" for the preceding five years as a maintenance worker in a public school in the Bronx. After the court finished its questioning,continued.
Sentencing
14
On April 29, 1991, after Stavroulakis had been convicted on all four counts in the indictment, the district court sentenced him to thirty-seven months of imprisonment, to be followed by two years of supervised release. At sentencing, Stavroulakis, a Greek national, requested that the district court enter a Judicial Recommendation Against Deportation ("JRAD"). The court denied this request on two alternative grounds. First, the district court noted that the Immigration Act of 1990 had eliminated the authority of district courts to enter JRADs, and it held that, even though the repeal had taken effect after Stavroulakis had committed his crimes, there was no ex post facto violation. Alternatively, the district court held that, even if it had the authority, it

Lithuanian defense minister visiting Ukraine
Thursday, April 11, 2019
Share
Lithuanian Defense Minister Raimundas Karoblis is starting a two-day official visit to Ukraine on Thursday.
Karoblis is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak, to participate in the Kiev Security Forum and to meet with Lithuanian troops taking part in a military training operation in the Desna and Berdychiv training centers, the Lithuanian Defense Ministry said.
At the Kiev Security Forum, Karoblis will speak in a panel discussion on “Joining Forces for Battle for Freedom”, with other speakers including Poltorak, Oleksandr Turchynov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, and Marko Mihkelson, head of the Estonian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
Since the beginning of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine in early 2014, Lithuania has supported Kiev politically andMAD Magazine Makes Parody of 'Duck Dynasty' Dinnertime Prayers
An upcoming issue of MAD magazine will include a parody of the dinnertime prayer featured at the end of each episode of "Duck Dynasty."
The parody, titled, "A 'Duck Dynasty' Closing Prayer We'd Like to Hear," was recently posted to the Pop 2 It blog on Zap2It.com. It shows cartoon versions of the Robertson family preparing to eat a pile of creatures one might expect to see in and around the Louisiana bayou. Among the animals that are ready to be consumed are what appear to be famous cartoon fowls Donald Duck and Daffy Duck.
At the center of the image is Phil Robertson, the family patriarch, who is shown praying a long and unusual prayer that takes shots at "Duck Dynasty,"

Fiduciary service fees for seven loans. The petition also alleges that CNB contracted with Colson Services Corporation to pay Colson purchase participation fees in eight other loans, which Colson would then forward to Fiduciary. According to Fiduciary's pleadings, CNB failed to pay any of these fees. Additionally, Fiduciary's petition alleged that CNB loaned $6,500 to Fiduciary for Fiduciary's participation in "Cheung's Rice Bowl" loan, with the understanding that CNB would buy the loan back if it went into default. Fiduciary pleaded that CNB assigned Fiduciary's note to the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). The loan went into default, but CNB did not repurchase it.

Six periods were defined (2006-2007, 2008-2009, 2010-2011, 2012-2013, 2014-2015, and 2016-2017), and participants were divided into 6 birth cohorts (1992-1993, 1994-1995, 1996-1997, 1998-1999, 2000-2001, and 2002-2003) to analyze the prevalence of sexual experience in each birth cohort. We used age-adjusted figures for the prevalence of sexual experience based on the 2005 national population to eliminate differences caused by changes in age distribution.
Age-period-cohort analysis
--------------------------
Changes in the prevalence of sexual experience from 2006 to 2017 were examined in terms of age, period-cohort, age-period, and age-cohort effects. Furthermore, the independent effect of each factor on sexual experience was estimated via APC analysis. The problem of identification caused by collinearity among age, period, and cohort (age+cohort= period) \[[@b23-epih-42-e2020008],[@b24-epih-42-e2020008]\] was solved by using the intrinsic estimator (IE) method.

The Battle of Ruddy Balaclava
From my postition, I could see that those ruddy Russian Bears had taken our cannons, and were holding onto them in their redoubts across the valley, so i promptly ordered Quartermaster-General, Brigadier Airy to take a letter telling the Light Brigade to "Advance rapidly to the front, follow the ememy and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns" I would not allow the British effort be compromised, so soon in the battle!!

The film is produced by Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, whose company has enjoyed tremendous success with a host of re-imagined horror franchises, including “Friday the 13th,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” and “The Amityville Horror.” The executive producers are Mike Drake, Robert Shaye, Michael Lynne, Richard Brener, Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter, with John Rickard serving as co-producer.
The film has been rated R by the MPAA for strong bloody horror violence, disturbing images, terror and language.

Japan's pension system has been hacked and more than a million cases of personal data leaked, authorities said on Monday, in an embarrassment that revived memories of a scandal that helped topple Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in his first term in office.
Japan Pension Service staff computers were improperly accessed by an external email virus, leading to the leak of some 1.25 million cases of personal data, the system's president, Toichiro Mizushima, told a hastily called news conference.
He apologised for the leak, which he said involved combinations of names, identification numbers, birth dates and addresses.
The pension service was setting up a team to investigate the cause and prevent a recurrence, Mizushima said.
"These are the people's vital pensions. I have instructed Health and Welfare Minister (Yasuhisa) Shiozaki to consider thepension recipients and do everything possible," Abe told reporters in brief remarks aired on NHK public television, which featured the data leak as the evening's top news story.
Separately, Shiozaki apologised for failing to prevent the hacking and told a news conference he had instructed the Japan Pension Service to set top priority on protecting the public's pensions.
Public outrage over botched record-keeping that left millions of pension premium payments unaccounted for was a major factor in a devastating defeat suffered by Abe's Liberal Democratic Party in a 2007 election for parliament's upper house.
Abe, whose first cabinet also lost several cabinet ministers to other scandals and gaffes, including one who committed suicide, resigned in September of that year in the face of parliamentary deadlock and ill health.

Friendly Fires unveil 'Why Don't You Answer?' music video - watch
The band have covered the 1981 Sting classic 'Why Don't You Answer?' for their new compilation album Late Night Tales.
The accompanying music video sees a traveler check in to a "seemingly haunted hotel room".
"I thought the track was really striking: its production has a sound that wouldn't be out of place on the soundtrack to some big nocturnal LA crime drama, like Drive or Heat," explained director Fred Rowson.
"But the song's central question - 'Why don't you answer?' - sounded to me like the kind of question you'd find in an early 20th-century British ghost story.
"So the synthesis seemed like a natural one: both forms share a kind of male ennui. It's MR James meets Michael Mann."
Friendly Fires'sIn advance of the Switch's release, Nintendo reassured fans that it would do its best to meet demand by shipping 2 million units worldwide by the end of March. It ended up shipping quite a few more than that, thanks in part to a bold move we now know it made.
Rather than relying quite so heavily on sea freight, Nintendo also shipped an unspecified number of consoles by air, the Wall Street Journal reports. A company spokesperson said, "We carried some of the Switches by plane in March to serve our customers more promptly." The company has since gone back to shipping systems by sea.
That's an expensive move and one that is, as the report notes, fairly unusual. Ace Research Institute analyst Hideki Yasuda told the WSJ, "Air

============
There has been significant progress worldwide in the development of assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) to aid infertile couples in achieving their reproductive goals ([@B1]). One of these techniques is oocyte donation (OD), initially introduced by Buster. The first infant was born via OD in 1984 ([@B2]).
OD is the process of ovulation stimulation in which a woman other than the infertile female partner donates her oocyte for fertilization. The donated oocyte is fertilized by the sperm of the infertile woman's partner in the laboratory, after which the fertilized oocyte is subsequently transferred to the uterus of the infertile female partner ([@B3]). OD is a remarkably effective method of treatment, even in difficult cases ([@B4]). Challenges and problems associated with OD exist, such as disclosure of a child's genetic origin

shine can take your breath away. The front and back of the coach are decorated with gilded sculptures of four sea-gods, half-man, half-fish, called tritons, and the two at the front are blowing conch-shell horns.
The 16th century poet, Edmund Spenser, wrote about, ‘Triton blowing loud his wreathed horn’ and the image would have been a familiar one to the triton’s sculptor, Joseph Wilton.
The door panels’ decoration
These painted panels are by the Florentine artist, Cipriani (1727-85) and they represent, metaphorically, the triumph of Britain over France in the Seven Years War, as portrayed by various Classical gods and goddesses. Basically, this war was about which country ruled America and India, and France wanted to expand her influence in both.

In 1957, a group of mathematicians programmed a "Logic Theory Machine" to prove theorems from Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell's massive Principia Mathematica, published over 40 years earlier. On learning of this feat, Bertrand Russell reputedly wrote "I am delighted to know that 'Principia Mathematica' can now be done by machinery. I wish Whitehead and I had known of this possibility before we wasted 10 years doing it by hand."
Bertrand Russell lived a long, long life. Born in 1872, the grandson of a former Prime Minister of Britain, Russell's first mathematics papers were published during the realm of Victoria. Already in his 40s during the First World War, Russell was imprisoned for antiwar activities, but he

by one of the applicants:
The rule of law is a multi-faceted concept, conveying "a sense of
orderliness, of subjection to known legal rules and of executive
accountability to legal authority." The Courts have repeatedly described the
rule of law as embodying the principle that the law "is supreme over
officials of the government as well as private individuals, and thereby
preclusive of the influence of arbitrary power." In other words, for
political action to be legitimate, decision-making must operate within the
constraints of the law. Governments cannot flout the law and must respect
legitimate legal processes already in place. As the Supreme Court stated in
the Secession Reference, "(i)t is the law that creates the framework within
which the "sovereign will" is to be ascertained and implemented. To be
accorded legitimacy, democratic institutions must rest, ultimately, on a
legal foundation."

In raising this question of privilege, I want to acknowledge that a similar
question of privilege was raised in the other place, on October 18, 2011, by my
colleague and friend, the member from Malpeque, Wayne Easter. His intervention
was also based on the application of section 47.1 and the failure of Parliament
to ensure that the law was upheld.
On October 24, the Speaker in the other place ruled that there was no prima
facie question of privilege. He noted that: "It is not for the Chair to
interpret the meaning of section 47.1 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act." Since
that ruling was given, the Federal Court of Canada has provided an
interpretation of that section and, as I have described, it has declared that
the minister violated the provisions of section 47.1.

down on the morning of February 8, just three weeks after Elise had given birth to their second daughter, Skylar.
That Monday morning, Elise had walked Ivy across the road to drop her off at daycare near their home, while Lara stayed behind with Skylar. As Elise was walking across a pedestrian crossing to return home, she was struck by a car and knocked to the ground, Lara said. Lara thought it was odd when Elise had not returned home nearly an hour after she'd left. "I went out the front door to go looking for her, and I saw all the police tape. I went to the childcare centre and just said 'Is Elise still inside?' And I knew by the look that the teachers gave me," Larawages estimates that are biased upward.” Precisely how the government sets the rates, however, is much less important than the fact that contractors are forbidden to pay workers less even if their workers would accept a lower rate. The devil here is not in the details, but in the concept. The genesis of the Davis-Bacon Act (named for its sponsors,
Pennsylvania Senator James Davis and New York Representative Robert Bacon, both Republicans) was the construction of a Veterans Bureau Hospital on Long Island in 1927. The contractor who won the bid was from Alabama and employed many black workers. Representative Bacon was bothered that construction workers in his district had lost out on the job and he introduced a bill that would prevent the use of migrant labor on

HaBat (The Gift Of The Girl)
"God
Has Granted Me a Gift"
The
Zeved HaBat is a ritual that has its origins in Sephardic and Italian Jewish
customs dating back to the seventeenth century. The name of the ceremony
is derived from the Hebrew verse in Genesis 30:20 in which Leah has already given birth to Zebulon, and preceding the birth of her daughter Dinah. Leah says,
"Zevadani Elohim Oti Zeved Tov (God has granted me a gift)."
The
name Zebulon is derived from the word Zeved, meaning gift or dowry. Thus, Zeved
HaBat is "Gift of a Daughter." There are special melodies sung at the
ceremony and verses from the Song of Songs are recited by the guests. In some
Sephardic communities the ceremony is called, "Las Fadas." The name
is thought to derive from a Spanish word for fairies:

The assessment of stat laboratory test ordering practice and impact of targeted individual feedback in an urban teaching hospital.
Overuse of inpatient stat laboratory orders ("stat" is an abbreviation of the Latin word "statim," meaning immediately, without delay) is a major problem in the modern healthcare system. To understand patterns of stat laboratory ordering practices at our institution and to assess the effectiveness of individual feedback in reducing these orders. Medicine and General Surgery residents were given a teaching session about appropriate stat ordering practice in January 2010. Individual feedback was given to providers who were the highest utilizers of stat laboratory orders by their direct supervisors from February through June of 2010. The proportion of stat orders out of total laboratory orders per provider was the main outcomestat orders among Medicine and General Surgery residents, but not among other trainee providers. The frequency of stat ordering was highly variable among providers. Individual feedback to the highest utilizers of stat orders was effective in decreasing these orders.

Background {#S5}
==========
Globally, community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains one of the leading causes of death among children below five years of age. Most CAP-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Approximately 70% of these deaths occur in 15 countries, with Tanzania being eighth on the list of countries with high CAP-related deaths ([@R14]). In 2018 alone, pneumonia led to the death of 17,624 children below five years old in Tanzania ([@R14]). The high pneumonia incidence is a drawback in meeting the health sustainable development goals of the United Nations (goal 3) ([@R34]).
Collaborative efforts of different stakeholders like the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the Government of Tanzania have been in place for several years. The country has made significant progress in reducingMarlon Wayans Developing ABC Comedy Series
Marlon Wayans may be returning to television in a new comedy series on ABC.
Wayans is set to write, executive produce and star in a comedy pilot being developed for ABC. According to Deadline, the comedy “has an odd couple/buddy cop comedy feel to it, centers on two brothers, both cops. Having fallen down on his luck, one of them moves in with his brother and his family.” Wayans will play the married brother.
Wayans appeared on “The Wayans Bros.” series for five seasons. His other acting credits include “White Girls” and “Requiem for a Dream.” The actor is currently working with Dreamgirls director Bill Condon on the Richard Pryor biopic, in which he is set to star.

He married Sophia Tolstaya — 16 years his junior — in 1862. Thirteen children were born to them, and there were many challenges in this tumultuous relationship. Yet, interestingly, Tolstoy said and wrote things such as the following: “Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world; all else is folly” (see "War and Peace"). And again, “And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people” (see "Tales from Tolstoy").
Tolstoy was a free, forward-looking thinker. In 1861, after visiting the anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who was living in Brussels, Belguim, under an assumed name, he was so impressed by some of the ideas and possibilitiesdiscussed between them that he went home and arranged for the building of 13 schools for the children of his serfs.
Tolstoy believed that worship of God and our approach to God can be varied, but that God is there — and accessible to all men of all classes and conditions. He was curious, and sought for religious truths wherever he went, with whatever group or nationality of people he encountered. Rejecting organized religion himself, he was known for his support of and concern for those who did strive to practice their religion — especially for religious minorities who were struggling or suffering persecution.
Thus Mormonism. He first mentions this little-known religion in his diary while he is traveling in Western Europe. He is young, and relatively unknown except in

snaking through every neighborhood. The average Venezuelan shopper spends 35 hours waiting to buy food each month. That's three times more than in 2014, according to the polling firm Datanalisis.
"As the economy breaks down, life is telescoping to be just lines," said Datanalisis president Luis Vicente Leon. "You have masses of people in the streets competing for scarce goods. You're inevitably going to get conflict, fights, tricks, you name it."
Venezuela's vast oil wealth once fueled a bustling economy. But years of mismanagement under a socialist government ground much of the nation's production to a halt, and the country grew ever more dependent on imports.
The supply chain broke down — first slowly, then all at once, as a steep drop in the price of oil left no money topay for even some of the most basic necessities.
Shortages now top voters' lists of concerns, surpassing even safety. That's stunning in a country with one of the world's highest homicide rates.
Desperation fuels the violence. Medical student Maria Sanchez looked as timid and absent as anyone else in a Caracas line for flour, but when a woman tried to cut in front of her and her mother, she threw the first punches. She didn't let up until the would-be intruder limped away. Sanchez passed the rest of the wait with her lips pressed together, her mother quietly weeping.
"You have to go out with your batteries fully charged or people take advantage," Sanchez said. "Need has an ugly dog's face."
On Wednesdays, residents of one of Caracas' wealthiest neighborhoods line up

1990s started out as Socialists or Trotskyists in the 1950s and 1960s, for example. There is also a little movement from the Right to the center, and even to mild liberalism; Hillary Clinton would be a good case in point. Based on her upbringing, she was for Goldwater in 1964, but by the time she had finished college and law school she was a liberal. (More generally, there is a modest correlation between parental and offspring politics as people are growing up, but other factors enter into political orientation after age 18 or 19 -- including what the new generation as a whole is experiencing -- e.g., "the Sixties," "the Eighties," "The Great Recession.")

But it turned out the calls were going to the wrong person, another customer named Araceli King, of Texas. King, who wasn't behind on her bills, "told a TWC representative that she was not Luiz Perez" after the 10th call to her number. (The cell phone number originally belonged to Perez but Sprint had re-assigned it to King.) Yet TWC kept on calling, 153 more times. The last 74 of those calls even came after King sued the cable company to get it to stop harassing her.
That's why a federal judge yesterday ordered TWC to pay King $229,500 for violations of

"She was kicking and screaming and fighting and in hysterics," Croft said. "At that point my daughter ran up to her against TSA's orders because she said, 'My daughter is terrified, I can't leave her.'"
The incident went on for maybe 10 minutes, until a manager came in and allowed agents to pat the girl down while she was screaming but being held by her mother. The family was then allowed to go to their next gate with a TSA agent following them.
Croft said that for the first few nights after coming home, Isabellehad nightmares and talked about kidnappers. She said TSA agents had shouted at the girl, telling her to calm down and saying the suspect wasn't cooperating.
"To a 4-year-old's perspective that's what it was to her because they didn't explain anything and she did not know what was going on," Croft said. "She saw people grabbing at her and raising their voices. To her, someone was trying to kidnap her or harm her in some way."

area in the store as where Lowe's stored other Olin branded cal-hypo based pool products. At that time, Lowe's' Albany, Georgia store had approximately 10,000 pounds of cal-hypo based Olin pool products on display. Although the employees attempted to extinguish the fire upon discovering it, they were unable to do so. Therefore, the employees and all of the store's occupants evacuated the building and waited for the local fire department to arrive. However, the nature and intensity of the fire grew quickly, overwhelming the store's automatic sprinkler system and resulting in the destruction of the store and all of its contents prior to the timely arrival of the fire department.

Lowe's filed suit against Olin asserting two claims: (1) negligent design of the Pace product and (2) failure toas during a meeting that occurred between Lowe's and Olin on March 21, 1994, the subject of which was Lowe's' handling and storage of the Pace product. Because we reject Lowe's' arguments and find that Lowe's' failure to warn claim is preempted by FIFRA, we will take each of Lowe's' arguments in turn.

It is not in dispute that Lowe's was provided with Guidelines concerning the handling, storage and hazards of Olin's pool chemical products in addition to the EPA-approved warning labels on the Pace product prior to the April 16, 1996 fire at Lowe's' Albany, Georgia store. Although not required by FIFRA nor approved by the EPA, Lowe's provides the Guidelines to its pool product retail merchandisers. The Guidelines provide information on Olin pool products other than

the handling and storage of the Pace product was discussed, provides an independent basis to support its failure to warn claim. Lowe's argues that Olin was negligent in not disclosing the results of the burn tests and informing Lowe's of the true dangers associated with cal-hypo during the meeting. Further, Lowe's argues that Olin made specific intentional misrepresentations concerning the manner in which Lowe's should handle and store the Pace product during the meeting that were relied upon by Lowe's to its detriment. Specifically, Lowe's asserts that Olin representatives told Lowe's' representatives that its handling and storage measures "were good enough" and specifically discouraged Lowe's from moving the Pace product outdoors.

a dish which was often placed before us when dining on board these vessels at Whampoa, viz. ‘Country Captain.’”—The Fankwae at Canton (1882), p. 33.
1800s -This delicious dish, known throughout Georgia, dates to the early 1800s. It is thought that this dish was brought to Georgia by a British sea captain who had been stationed in Bengali, India and shared the recipe with some friends in the port city of Savannah, Georgia. Savannah was then a major shipping port for the spice trade. The dish was named for the officers in India called “Country Captains.”
1940s – Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of the United States and General George S. Patton (1885-1945), U.S. Army General, were served this dish in Warm Springs, Georgia, by Mrs. W. L. Bullard.It is pronounced “Djo,” with the tongue hard against teeth.
This dish is thought to have been the invention of Taiwanese immigrants to the United States in the 1970s and was named after General Zou Zong-Tang (1812-1885), a general of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty of China. He was responsible for suppressing Muslim uprisings. His name was used to frighten Muslim children for centuries after his death.

indictment claimed that, by 2009, the relationship between McPhail
and Insider was one of "trust and confidence, including a history,
pattern, and practice of sharing professional and personal
confidences." They also shared "an understanding that information
conveyed between them was to remain confidential." The indictment
expressly alleged that Parigian "was aware of" that relationship
and "knew" that Insider was an executive at AMSC.
Beginning no later than July of 2009, Insider began
revealing to McPhail highly material inside information about AMSC

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love ofwhich sins that shall die.
The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

in a conflict against the Shi'ite-led government that made last year the deadliest since sectarian civil strife began to abate in 2008.
Late on Friday, dozens of militants in SUVs drove into the small town of al-Sainiyah, near Baiji, some 180 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad, after bombing the local police headquarters, and fought troops for several hours overnight, witnesses said.
At least four policemen and two Sunni government-backed militia members were killed in the fighting, officials said.
The militants raised the black flag of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) over government buildings in the town, recording their victory on video, before withdrawing on Saturday morning.
"The attack started at 7:30 pm (Friday) when we heard intense gunfire and successive mortar explosions near the police department. Thissituation lasted for around three hours," a resident called Yasser told Reuters by telephone.
He said the militants drove around the town all night, blasting religious anthems glorifying ISIL from their cars.
"WAR OF ATTRITION"
Police sources said the militants came from Anbar province, where the Iraqi army has been laying siege to the city of Falluja and shelling it since early this year, when ISIL and other militant groups took over.
A suicide bomber driving a car packed with explosives blew himself up at the entrance to a military base in the east of Anbar's capital, Ramadi, killing at least six people on Saturday, security sources said.
Tens of thousands of people have fled the city in recent weeks, fearing an all-out ground offensive to retake Falluja, the site of some of

warriors in training who battle the Heylin forces of evil. They do this by protecting Shen Gong Wu (ancient artifacts that have great magical powers) from villains that would use them to conquer the world. Typical episodes revolve around a specific Shen Gong Wu being revealed which results in both sides racing to find it. Episodes usually reach a head when one good and one evil character must challenge each other to a magical duel called a Xiaolin Showdown for possession of the artifact.
The main characters are each associated with an element (taken from Wikipedia again):
Omi (voiced by Tara Strong) – The Xiaolin Dragon of Water
Kimiko Tohomiko (voiced by Grey DeLisle) – The Xiaolin Dragon of Fire
Raimundo Pedrosa (voiced by Tom Kenny) – The Xiaolin Dragon of Wind
ClayBailey (voiced by Jeff Bennett) – The Xiaolin Dragon of Earth
And they have one Master:
Master Fung (voiced by René Auberjonois in season 1 and Maurice LaMarche in seasons 2-3) The Xiaolin Warrior's Master, trainer, and guide, Master Fung is mortified by his charges' behavior at times.

Originally airing on the Kids' WB block of programming on WB Network from 2003 to 2006, the series ran for 3 seasons and 52 episodes. Reruns also aired on Cartoon Network from 2006 to 2007. Xiaolin Chronicles, a direct sequel of the series, was previewed on August 26, 2013 on Disney XD. It began its long-term run on September 14 the same year.[1]

Currie spoke at length about the enhanced branding measures during a press conference at the Ray & Lucy Hand Digital Studio Thursday. In a prepared statement, Currie acknowledged the pain resulting from the 2014 decision to minimize the official use and visibility of Lady Vol branding.
"While the 'Power T' is the official mark of the University of Tennessee, we are committed to restoring the visibility of the Lady Vol brand and showing it the reverence it deserves so our Tennessee family can move forward, more united, to blaze new trails of excellence," Currie said. "We understand that people are very passionate about the Lady Vol brand, and the Chancellor and I have been diligent about seeking perspective from various constituencies since each of us were appointed.
AD @John_Currie announceswe are "restoring the visibility of the Lady Vols name, logo and brand." It's a great day in Big Orange Country!
"Today's announcement serves as official confirmation that the Lady Vol name, logo and brand will continue to stand prominently as marks of excellence in intercollegiate athletics," Davenport said. "As I have said on multiple occasions, I deeply value the Lady Vols legacy and what it represents to the University of Tennessee and women athletes.
"As I visited with student-athletes, they used words such as respect, commitment, honor, tradition and progress for women when articulating what the Lady Vol brand meant to them."
In October 2014, university leadership announced that the "Power T" logo—which had previously been utilized solely by the athletics department—would stand as the official mark of the entire

A large number of color-painted clay pots,jadeware and bronze artifacts were also unearthed from the tomb, which covers 210 square meters. The remains of the tomb occupant have also been preserved.
"The tomb provides valuable material for study of the life of Western Han nobles as well as the funeral rituals and customs of the period," Pan said.

The law, then, as we understand the decision of the Supreme Court of the State, provides for the formation of a district in the vicinity of the proposed improvement, the limits of the district to be determined by the benefits derived from that improvement, and further provides that the common council shall determine what proportion of the cost of the improvement ("compensation awarded by the jury") shall be assessed upon the owners of the real estate benefited. The language of the statute is: "The amount of the benefit thus ascertained shall be assessed upon the owners or occupants of such taxable real estate, in proportion, as nearly as may be, to the advantage whichMost of the usual suspects. Most prominent among those who reject the Medicaid expansion are those in the Deep South/Tidewater. By contrast, much of Yankeedom, the Midlands, and the Left Coast have embraced it openly, as expected.
Interestingly, much of Greater Appalachia has embraced the Medicaid expansion as well. This highlights a very important aspect of the healthcare discussion, as with socialist ideals in general: the importance of homogeneity.
A few recent articles have correctly noted that the Deep South’s opposition to Obamacare stems from simmering racism. More accurately (though not by much), I’d say it stems from clannish peoples not wanting share the spoils of the commonweal with those outside the “tribe”:

Lee was installed officially Sunday morning as the church's new senior pastor.
"That's kind of amazing," Lee said about being only the second pastor in the church's history.
Not only does he plan to get young families and children more involved in the church, but the church may be filled with a bit more music as well. Lee and his wife, Michelle, live in Alliance, and Lee previously was pastor at Church of Faith in Salesville. This congregation is a little bit larger than his church in Salesville.
"We always like to have music a part of our ministry," Lee said. "She (Michelle) sings with me from time to time. I sing and play the guitar. They have quite a bit oftalent in the church. We may be plugging some more music in and trying to keep reaching some young families and children."
BUILT ON FAITH
The building at 1700 Hankins Road NE has been a permanent home for the congregation for more than 10 years. Bragg and a group of at least 40 people started worshipping in a banquet room at a former hotel along Lincoln Way. They moved to two other locations before securing land along Hankins Road. After much praying and fundraising, they were able to construct the building in 2002.
Bragg said the church sees about 125 members on Sundays. Unfortunately, he has officiated many funerals over the years. But he said 15 or 20 charter members still remain in the church.
"We've all grown old together," he said.

Jim Brown
Some 30 years after his retirement from professional football, Hall-of-Famer Jim Brown still ranks among the very best running backs in the game's history As a member of the Cleveland Browns from 1957 until 1966, Brown made a mockery of his opponents, scoring a record-setting 126 touchdowns and leading the league in yards gained for eight of his nine seasons A combination of speed, intelligence, and sheer strength, enabled Brown to set 15 National Football League (NFL) records Sports Illustrated attested that Brown "dominated pro football like no player ever had It is possible that had he continued to play, he would have put all the league's rushing records so far out of reach that they would have

his portrayal of a black man victimized but unbroken by the white world Shooting for The Dirty Dozen was repeatedly delayed, and ultimately conflicted with football training camp in 1966 It was then that Brown abruptly announced his retirement from football He was 30 years old and at the height of his game Regarding his decision to leave football, Brown told Sports Illustrated, "I quit with regret but no sorrow I've been able to do all the things I wanted to do, and now I want to devote my time to other things And I wanted more mental stimulation than I would have had playing football"
For some years after Brown retired from football he continued to win major film roles in works such as Dark of the Sun,Ice Station Zebra, and 100 Rifles The latter featured an American cinematic first, when Brown did a love scene with costar Raquel Welch, a white actress.
Brown told People that he thinks the interracial love scene and his tendency to play strong, confident characters, proved his undoing in the industry "I think Hollywood just got tired of a big ol' black Negro kissin' all their women," he said
Others, such as Gentleman's Quarterly contributor John Lombardi, claimed that highly publicized charges of battery by several women- -none of them resulting in a conviction--undermined Brown's image Lombardi wrote, "Brown's movie career was only a memory by the early eighties, his ten-year publicity contract with Pepsi-Cola went unrenewed, and he found himself hustling Celebrity Bowling tournaments on TV for $20,000 paydays"

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio could be to this World Cup what Louis van Gaal of the Nertherlands was to the previous edition of the tournament. Van Gaal’s ability to adjust on a game-by-game basis resulted in a Dutch team with modest expectations reaching the semifinals of the 2014 competition, where it fell to Argentina in a penalty shootout.
Two weeks into this World Cup, no team has shown as much tactical flexibility as Mexico. In their tournament-opening victory over Germany, the Mexicans prevented their possession-oriented opponents from playing through the middle of the field, and exploited their eagerness to go forward with effective counterattacks.

Leica Microsystems light microscope. The images were of coronal strips (300 μm wide) spanning the thickness of the neocortex throughout its rostro-caudal extent at different ages (minimum of six sections at each level (rostral, middle, caudal) from each of three animals for each genotype). In all counts, the experimenter did not know the genotype of the animals. Each coronal strip was divided into bins arranged parallel to the pial surface that corresponded to the different layers of the developing cortex.
Quantification of labelled cells in the striatum {#Sec7}

All morphometric analyses were conducted separately for the rostral, middle and caudal levels of the striatum based on the following anatomical landmarks. The rostral level was considered where the septum was clearly identifiable, the middle level was selected where the intraventricular foramen andAffairs Unit, the armband-clad cops who monitor protests and labor disputes, and off the group went.

Since federal law was recently changed to allow for firearms in gun-friendly states to be brought into national parks, the group figured it would stop by and take a photo near the Liberty Bell, too. “Exercising our Second Amendment where the Second Amendment was signed,” one member could be heard calling out.

which he presented to John T. Meeson and Henry Forbes, Director of the Canterbury Museum. They were found associated with moa and fish bones, seal hair, adzes, spears, and sinkers, indicating the swans were hunted by early Māori inhabitants of the cave. Forbes described the new swan species from three coracoids and two partial humeri, naming it Chenopis sumnerensis, from its resemblance to the Australian black swan Chenopis atrara (now Cygnus atratus) and from the type locality of Sumner. Forbes noted that "This Sumner cave has been closed since the introduction of Chenopsis atrata into New Zealand [in 1864–1868]" so the bones could not be from introduced black swans; he also noted that they were larger than those of the Australian species.

been banned from the airports? What if a rider pukes in their car? Would Juno pay for the cleanup?
What if a rider pukes in their car?
There were no questions about their classification as independent contractors, a practice popularized by Uber, the granddaddy of the gig economy. Both Uber and Lyft are being sued by their drivers in California, who claim they should be classified as employees not contractors. Lyft settled its lawsuit; Uber's goes to trial in June. Meanwhile, Juno has no interest in upsetting that apple cart at the moment.
Nor were there any questions about what is arguably Juno's most attractive offer: 50 percent of the company's 2 billion founding shares reserved for drivers. Every three months for the next decade (assuming the company lasts that long),success will depend on its ability to attract riders. "The timing is good," Pichardo added, noting Uber's recent fare cuts. "I don't like [driving for Uber]. They don't care about their drivers."
This is exactly the type of anger and indifference that Marco is hoping to tap into with Juno. And if riders feel reticent about Uber's treatment of its workforce, there's no reason why Juno won't succeed. However, the gutters are lined with ride-hailing apps that have tried — and failed — to take on the Uber monopoly. Meanwhile, the San Francisco-based company has extended its tentacles into other markets like food delivery and logistics, despite lingering questions about labor and safety. It remains to be seen whether Juno's secret sauce — giving drivers more money, and even

Sunday, February 29, 2004, City police officers Mike Pope, John Sylvester and T.J. Barker responded to a possible domestic disturbance call at 90 Canby Circle in Savannah, Tennessee, the home of Lauren mother, Donna Spears ("Donna"). Lauren had been visiting her mother for a few days prior to the incident; she had Kayla Tucker, the infant daughter of Lauren and Blake, with her as well. Odis and Blake arrived in Savannah unexpectedly[4] to pick up Lauren and the baby, intending for all of them to return to their home in Alabama. It is unclear who then called the police, but the parties have speculated that it was one of Donna's neighbors.
Officer Pope was the first to arrive at the scene. He had been called to the 90 CanbyPope she wanted to leave with her husband, but that her mother and Pope then began talking and she could not tell what they were saying. (L. Tucker Dep. at 14-16.) However, regardless of this differing testimony, it is undisputed that when Lauren assured Pope that she wished to leave with Blake and Odis, the officers did not attempt to stop her. Lauren was allowed to gather her things and leave the house, with the officers escorting her to the van.
The testimony of the plaintiffs regarding the events of the next few minutes is very confused. Nevertheless, the plaintiffs do not dispute that at some point Pope believed he saw Blake strike Judy Crotts[7] with his hand or arm. (Pope Dep. at 29-30.) Blake contends that he did

The FBI is investigating a new batch of emails related to Hillary Clinton, these reportedly obtained by agents during a separate probe into the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal.
FBI Director James Comey said Friday in a letter to Congress that the bureau has not read the emails but wants an investigation to move forward so agents can begin combing through them. The letter comes 11 days before the nation's presidential election and has revived controversy around the broader email controversies that have long dogged the former secretary of state and her campaign.
Comey said the FBI found the emails "in connection with an unrelated case" but did not specify which one. The New York Times, though, first reported that the emails were discovered on devices belonging to Weiner, the disgracedThe headline cuts two ways: The invention of Zarqawi, Weaver suggests, was a joint venture by a "short, squat man named Ahmad Fadhil Nazzal al Khalaylah" and, in the words of a former Jordanian intelligence official, "'the creativity of the Americans.'"
Weaver begins her profile with a question:
Who was he? Was he al-Qaeda's point man in Iraq, as the Bush administration argued repeatedly? Or was he, as a retired Israeli intelligence official told me not long ago, a staunch rival of bin Laden's, whose importance the United States exaggerated in order to validate a link between al-Qaeda and pre-war Iraq, and to put a non-Iraqi face on a complex insurgency?
In attempting to answer this question, Weaver is sanguine about who Zarqawi was, in fact —a mass murderer with the

The Iranian economy has faced considerable difficulties in recent months and the rial lost about 70 percent of its value against the dollar compared to last year. Prices continued to rise and commodity shortages increased.
Since end of 2017, Iran has seen intermittent protests and Iranians chanted slogans against the government.
After the US withdrawal from the nuclear pact, Trump said he was confident Iranian officials would request negotiations and left the door open for new round of talks after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo set 12 US conditions on Tehran.
"Today, the government is on the frontlines. This is an economic, psychological and propaganda war," Rouhani said, evoking memories of the Iran-Iraq war to call for unity.
"We had sweet days and we had hard days during the sacred defense," hesaid, using the official name for the war with Iraq.
"But our nation never backed down. Now, too, our nation will not bow before the pressure of a new group in the White House,” he added, warning that the country cannot fight the US, the left (reformists) and the right (conservatives) at the same time.
“We cannot fight on three fronts," he stated.
The president also acknowledged the mounting economic pressure.
Rouhani made his remarks during an event named after Mohammad-Ali Rajai, Iran's second president whose assassination in August 1981 was blamed on the opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq.

Korongee takes after a ground-breaking Dutch dementia village, Hogeweyk, and is the opposite of the medicalised institutions in which most Australian dementia sufferers will live out their final years. Hogeweyk's philosophy reflects the idea that, after a full life of making their ownand can – and do – exclude people including family members they believe are troublesome. "The government and industry own the system, the families don't," she says, so when there's a complaint, "it's families versus nursing homes and government." Family members feeling alone and ganged-up on by a complex system then become aggrieved, frustrated and sometimes shrill. She says family members, retired nurses, volunteers, community members "should be at the centre of it". Under this model, "which we're calling, for want of a better word, 'a Community Aged Care Hub'," Saltarelli says the government would work with the community, which would then manage the oversight of nursing homes, advocacy for residents and complaints handling.

The market will fix it Like Sparrow, the best thinkers in the federal government, believe putting people ("consumers") at the heart of the equation is the way forward. The government, led by the head of the Aged Care Sector Committee and a former secretary of the federal finance department, David Tune, has produced an "Aged Care Roadmap". It's classic neoliberal economics, and has as its twin credos putting the consumer in charge, and light-handed regulation.
In his roadmap, and a subsequent review of the aged-care legislation, Tune says older Australians in future will want "more choice, control and better access" to services.Minivan crashes into tractor-trailer, dragged 16 miles
GRAYLING, Mich. – Authorities say four people and the minivan they were in were dragged 16 miles by a tractor-trailer they rear-ended in northern Michigan.
The Grand Rapids Press posted a recording of the 911 call from the van as the group was being pulled along Interstate 75 in Roscommon County about 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Police say the truck driver was unaware that the minivan was lodged beneath it. The accident occurred during heavy snowfall that made visibility poor for the minivan's driver, who also was unable to tell dispatchers where it was on the expressway.
Crawford County sheriff's deputies eventually spotted the truck and minivan on northbound I-75 south of Grayling.
The minivan's occupants were taken to a hospital for evaluation.

"In part, the information will help to determine current conditions and capacities and to identify gaps or deficiencies in terms of accommodating potential and existing bicycle and pedestrian travel."

NEW DELHI: AAP today threatened to widen its stir against the Centre if it goes ahead with the contentious land bill as party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held a rally here against the legislation.
"Narendra Modi government has been pursuing anti-farmer and anti-poor policies because he has been obliged by the big industrialist, now it is time to pay them back," senior leader Ashutosh said.
The Aam Aadmi Party was today taking out a rally at Jantar Mantar that would be addressed by Kejriwal. It will also stage a march towards Parliament though AAP chief is not likely to join it.
"We warn Modi and his government that AAP will not let that happen and today thousands of farmers are coming from all across the country to registerAvoniel blaze.
A Fire Service spokesman said: "There were seven calls for the motorbike fire and eight calls for the fire at Avoniel."
As for the confusion over the number of fires, he added: "Somebody was going down the Sydenham Bypass and called it in as Connswater. People would have said it was Connswater, but it wasn't. It was Avoniel."
A spokesperson for Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said earlier that they were alerted to the blazes around 5.15pm and sent one crew to deal with each.

"Warrior: She Who Makes Her
Meaning Known".
Career
Lorde's poetry was published very regularly during the 1960s —
in Langston
Hughes's 1962 New Negro Poets, USA; in several foreign
anthologies; and in black literary magazines. During this time, she
was politically active in civil rights, anti-war, and feminist
movements. Her first volume of poetry, The First
Cities (1968), was published by the Poet's Press and edited by
Diane di
Prima, a former classmate and friend from Hunter College High
School. Dudley
Randall, a poet and critic, asserted in his review of the book
that Lorde "does not wave a black flag, but her blackness is there,
implicit, in the bone."
Her second volume, Cables to Rage (1970), which was
mainly written during her tenure at Tougaloo College in
Mississippi, addresses themes of love, betrayal, childbirth and the
complexities of raising children. It is particularly noteworthy for
the poem"Martha", in which Lorde poetically confirms her
homosexuality: "[W]e shall love each other here if ever at
all."
Later books continued her political aims in lesbian and gay
rights, and feminism. In 1980, together with Barbara Smith and
Cherrie Moraga, she co-founded Kitchen
Table: Women of Color Press, the first U.S. publisher for women of
colour. Lorde was State Poet of New York from 1991 to 1992.[7]
Theory
Lorde criticised feminists of the 1960s, from the National Organization for
Women to Betty
Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, for
focusing on the particular experiences and values of white middle-class
women. Her writings are based on the "theory of difference", the
idea that the binary opposition between men and women is overly
simplistic: although feminists have found it necessary to present
the illusion of a solid, unified whole, the category of women
itself is full of subdivisions.
Lorde identified

issues of class, race, age, gender and even
health — this last was added as she battled cancer in her later
years — as being fundamental to the female experience. She argued
that, although the gender difference has received all the focus,
these other differences are also essential and must be recognised
and addressed. "Lorde," it is written, "puts her emphasis on the
authenticity of experience. She wants her difference acknowledged
but not judged; she does not want to be subsumed into the one
general category of 'woman'".[8] In a
period during which the women's movement was associated with white
middle-class women, Lorde campaigned for a feminist movement
conscious of both race and class.
While acknowledging that the differences between women are wide
and varied, most of Lorde's works are concerned with two subsets
which concerned her primarily — race and sexuality.and Contemporary
Feminist Thought
Lorde set out actively to challenge white women, confronting
issues of racism in feminist thought. She maintained that a great
deal of the scholarship of white feminists served to augment the
oppression of black women, a conviction which led to angry
confrontation, most notably in the scathing open letter addressed
to radical lesbian feminist Mary Daly.[9]
This fervent disagreement with notable white feminists furthered
her persona as an "outsider": "in the institutional milieu of black feminist and black lesbian feminist
scholars [...] and within the context of conferences sponsored by
white feminist academics, Lorde stood out as an angry, accusatory,
isolated black feminist lesbian voice".[10]
The criticism did not go only one way: many white feminists were
angered by Lorde's brand of feminism. In her essay "The Master's
Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House"[11],
Lorde attacked the underlying racism

terrifying prospect that subjectivity, including our own, can be disposed of once potestas is strengthened through the exploitation of our potentia' (219). The best part of this book is the section with Gayatri's responses to the panel, which include the replies she gave during the conference, and the additions she wrote leisurely, eight years later. She begins with an expression of being overwhelmed at the series of papers and a fond remembrance of tutoring her student Forest Pyle or Tres. This is followed by a clarification: Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Dina Al-Kassim 'are not for women's faces being burnt up by acid' but 'are with the movements that have been in place for decades now' (225). Neither does Gayatri consider 'sati empowering' but holds only that 'the criminalizationof sati was an unquestioned good' (ibid.). She has complaint only against the 'impatience of human rights' (226) and remembers her roots when she remarks that 'Bimal was perhaps the only person in the world who could work with the established tradition of rational critique within Indian philosophy' (ibid.). Responding to the papers individually, Gayatri finds that 'Kant needed to foreclose the tribal to philosophize, that Hegel had a foregone conclusion' (233). Gently chiding Bilimoria that 'he might have ventured forth into the wide outside' (234), Gayatri concurs with Dina Al-Kassim for sensing that 'there is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism' (234). Gayatri then confesses that she 'will have to think ... for a long time' about 'history

welcome is warm,professional & friendly. The hotel has been tastefully updated and renovated, offering today's modern facilities but not losing the charm of the original house, It felt very clean and comfortable.The terrace directly on the lakeside was a peaceful and sunny haven with the shops, restaurants and boat station all right next door. The breakfast buffet was way above average in choice and detail. (not only many fresh products and wonderful confection from the in-house bakery, but also a "gluten free" corner ) It was obvious after only a short walk around the hotel that there was a special ' family run ' feeling. Everybody was very attentive, sociable and smiling. These little extra details, gave the Hotel Marconi a special credit in our opinion and wasThere are many ways to interpret the beautiful game. Some teams prefer to keep the ball on the turf. Others prefer to launch it into the air. Defending deep in your own half is an option, as is pushing up the pitch towards the opposition. And do you play physically, or cerebrally? As long as you play by the rules, in football, there is no right or wrong approach.
PES 2017 continues this tradition. Barcelona, Manchester United, Juventus, and Paris-Saint Germain all play very differently in real life, and that's ably represented in PES. Football is a simple game made complex through myriad approaches it offers players, teams, and mangers. No other game comes as close to replicating those intricacies with a pair of analogue sticks as PES does.

Walrond, 26, came to KU as a hard-throwing pitcher-outfielder from Tulsa (Okla.) Union High.
"In high school as a pitcher," Walrond said with a laugh, "I was known for hitting people."
Walrond made a few mound appearances as a freshman and sophomore during the 1996 and '97 seasons, but was used primarily as a right fielder.
"He was just wild," Randall said. "And, like a lot of kids out of high school, his arm was just beat up. I think it helped him rest his arm and get away from it, but as a junior he got a glimpse of his future, and that helped a lot. I think always in our minds we thought he'd be a pitcher."
Blessed with a good fastball and a big, looping125 games in the Cardinals and Royals organizations.
With K.C.'s triple-A club in Omaha, Neb., Walrond, a 6-foot, 190-pounder, worked three scoreless innings in two appearances. He also picked up his first career minor-league save -- against his former Memphis (Tenn.) teammates.
His role with the Royals is undecided. Saturday, though he struck out San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds, Walrond walked two and surrendered three earned runs in two innings and saw his major-league ERA soar from 3.38 to 7.71. The loss was his first major-league decision.
"I can go three innings or more, or I can come in and pitch to the lefty," said Walrond, the first ex-Jayhawk in the majors since Jeff Berblinger had five at-bats with the Cardinals in 1997. "I can pitch three days in a row.

Kher stepping into the shoes of Dr Manmohan Singh.
"History will be kinder to me than the media," is an oft-quoted sentence from the former Prime Minister. Looking at what Gutte and Co. have done with the trailer, looks like Singh will not have to wait. This makes him, the accidental prime minister, the hero who bravely fought the family, the villain.
In The Accidental Prime Minister, Anupam Kher, known for his allegiance to the ruling party, tries hard to get Manmohan Singh's mannerisms right. Coming from an actor of Kher's stature therefore, his impression of Manmohan Singh comes across as nothing more than an attempt at caricaturing the former prime minister. Everyone will go gaga over how Kher got Singh's walk right but the emasculation gives it away. Likethe book, the film tries to make Singh stronger by showing him weak and struggling to stay upright as the first family puppeteers him to bend. In the near-three-minute trailer, Kher and director Gutte, through the cast, take numerous potshots at Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and pretty much everyone else from the family.
"Mahabharat mein do families thi. India mein toh ek hi hai (The Mahabharat had two families. India has only one)," begins the trailer. Akshaye Khanna (back in action after Ittefaaq) plays Sanjay Baru in this film. He mouths his dialogues with a veiled sneer. Suzanne Bernert essays the role of Sonia Gandhi in this dramatised version of The Accidental Prime Minister. The disdain for the Gandhi family on the part of the filmmakers is

How’s that for taking control? On Tuesday the union that Britain has just voted to leave delivered its biggest and most important tax ruling of the lot. After two years of investigations, the European commission ruled that Apple had enjoyed special favours on its taxes from Ireland. Very lucrative favours, worth around €13bn (£11bn) in unpaid tax to the Irish government.
The case goes to the heart of much that is wrong with modern politics and business – of a system in which ministers help tax-dodgers and rent-seekers to rake in billions, while community businesses go to the wall and hard-pressed families see pay packets shrink and their public services cut. It also offers the voters of Brexit Britain a grim warning of the ever more dysfunctional capitalism beinghowever, mainly cutaneous irritation, erythema, dryness, peeling, and scaling, remain major problems. The antiacne drug-loaded vesicular and particulate delivery systems (liposomes, polymeric microspheres, and solid lipid nanoparticles) for topical treatment are advantageous compared to conventional available topical delivery system. The encapsulation of antiacne drugs in vesicular and particulate delivery systems represents an innovative and alternative approach for minimizing the side effects and preserving their efficacy.
Novel drug carriers intended for use in skin diseases are often designed to increase the load ability of APIs and reduce side effect. In dermatotherapy, research on new drug entities and drug delivery systems is focused on frequent diseases often difficult to treat, in particular acne and psoriasis \[[@B41]\].

Known in the art is an internal combustion engine arranging an NOx selective reduction catalyst in an engine exhaust passage, arranging an NOx storage catalyst storing NOx contained in the exhaust gas in the form of nitrates and releasing the stored NOx when feeding a reducing agent in the engine exhaust passage upstream of the NOx selective reduction catalyst, and feeding urea to the NOx selective reduction catalyst and using the ammonia generated from the urea to selectively reduce the NOx contained in the exhaust gas (for example, see Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 2005-2925). In this internal combustion engine, the amount of urea feed is determined considering the NOx amount stored in the NOx storage catalyst and the NOx amount released from the NOx storage catalyst.

turned the sign around and the backside read "Shawn, pray for my gay soul." Triple H then got on the house mic and said, "Who invited Kanyon?" Security fought with this person to a degree, but not as though that they really wanted him to stop.
According to the observer at this house show, he was unclear if this was in fact the wrestler Chris Kanyon - or if this was just someone that looked a lot like him. Although, all signs seem to point to this being the wrestler Chris Kanyon, especially considering that Triple H called him out by his name. According to his MySpace page, Kanyon lives in the Florida area. In recent interviews, Kanyon believes that he was released from WWE back in 2004 becausehe was gay. Here is a passage from a interview he did in July: "I think Vince heard [about my sexual orientation] and wasn't happy with it," Kanyon said. "I took [dressing as Boy George] as a message, and few months after that, he fired me. Can I say he fired me because I was gay?" he asks. "You can draw your own conclusions, but for me it was a message."
In the past year or so, Kanyon has found himself in a number of unusual situations. He was arrested last October after he caused a disturbance at a Florida nightclub. Back in February, he was close to wrestling on a TNA iMPACT! taping. However, he did not wrestle due to a dispute over the wording of the contract

assault in Cruz Bay has sparked rumors on social media. Some of the concern dates back to 2016 when a rash of sexual assault reports came into authorities from the Nazareth and Red Hook areas.
In the latest reported incident from Jan. 24, an alleged rape occurred in Estate Frydenhoj. Police spokesperson Shakeda Freeman said a woman told police she was locking up her house to go to work when she was accosted by a male whoheld a gun on her and forced her to move a distance from the house and then assaulted her.
Investigators have since released a composite sketch of the alleged perpetrator.

Spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement on Friday that other members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, known as ISIS) were killed in the raid on Tuesday.
"US forces killed Abu Sayed, the emir of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) - in a strike on the group's headquarters in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, July 11," White said in the statement, referring to ISIL's other acronym.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping here and discussed key issues including counter-terrorism and climate change.
Modi, who is in Osaka, Japan for the G20 Summit, hosted the two leaders for an informal RIC (Russia-India-China) meeting here.
The three countries, in a joint communique of the 16th Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Russia, India and China, strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
In his opening remarks here, Prime Minister Modi said that the trilateral meeting in Osaka is a useful medium of discussion and coordination on major global issues.
After a long time, the three leaders met in Argentina at the summit level last year.

Patterns and levels of migration in eight states located in the southern region of the former Soviet Union are analyzed for the period from 1989 to the beginning of 1996. "The focus of the paper is on the composition of migration streams by nationality and the impact that migration has had on the changing population of the newly independent states formed after the dissolution of the former Soviet Union. Recent data are tabulated and estimates discussed in detail disclosing the exodus of Russians and movement of other nationalities in each of the Transcaucasian (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia) and Central Asian (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) countries."

The statement further added that: "Madikizela Mandela was one of the greatest icons of the struggle against Apartheid. She fought valiantly against the Apartheid state and sacrificed her life for the freedom of the country.

"Her activism and resistance to Apartheid landed her in jail on numerous occasions, eventually causing her banishment to the small town of Brandfort in the then Orange Free State."
The Mandela family went on to express gratitude for "the gift of her life "and urged all those who loved her to celebrate this most remarkable woman.
The family confirmed it would release details of the memorial and funeral services once these have been finalised.It's not the length of Jack Eichel's possible new contract that's holding up an agreement with the Buffalo Sabres. It's the money.
Sabres general manager Jason Botterill confirmed Tuesday that both sides would like an eight-year deal, the maximum allowable under the NHL's CBA.
"We certainly want to get Jack signed up for the maximum amount of term possible," Botterill told reporters, via WROC's Dan Fetes. "(Eichel) has the same belief, and all of our discussions with him have been very positive about the contract, but also just about his season and preparation in general."
In early August, the Sabres were reportedly negotiating an extension with the star forward for up to eight years in length.
