relationship with the young man, reminded him she was committing a crime when she
contacted him, asked him to cover for her crimes by deleting her sexually explicit
messages, and encouraged him to be dishonest with his parents, who had taken J.P.S. to
see Peverly because they were concerned about his depression and anger management
issues.
Based on the foregoing, we cannot say that Peverly’s three-year aggregate
sentence is inappropriate in lightDuring the war Derpy was sent to the frontline as a part of the recon squad. She took part in the most dangerous and desperate battles and always returned home, usually as a solo survivor. It was soon discovered that her enemies were killed in most horrible and gruesome way.Derpy's response? "I don't know what went wrong".Soon pony started to really FEAR her, and she started to climb military ranks quickly, eventually gaining the rank of Corporal(?).After that she was unofficially called as a Pale Plague, the one of War Abominations. (Including Lyra "Steal Hurricane" Hearthstring and Pinkie "Diane" Pie)Probably at this point her rise to the General rank and the throne was inevitable. And I think she would gladly give everything back just to return Luna

Solenzara is a small, picturesque village in the south of Corsica, right at the feet of the Mediterranean Sea. Spoilt with breathtaking beaches and coasts, Solenzara is a very popular and famous summer and spring tourist destination. Whilst small, Solenzara is a coveted vacation hot spot thatnks largely to its tranquil and relaxating atmosphere and secluded and characteristic location. The perfect getaway for those who want to escape the stresses of daily life and unwind, Solenzara is both culturally and naturally beautiful.
The quaint port of Solenzara offers visitors the chance to enjoy the secluded splendor of the countryside while still exploring the natural wonders of Corsica. The town is very close to many of the island?s best environmental attractions including the Guglie di Bavella and the Solenzara River,keep on the lane and complete the track. The participants drove through the track twice.
In the test phase, the participants were told that they would be driving on the same track as in the practice phase, but now the road had been hidden out of sight and its only visual indicators would the be occasional waypoints (or 'road markings' as they were called in the instructions). The participants were explicitly told that the track, with the exception that sometimes the first turn was to the left and sometimes to the right, was the same shape as in the practice phase. They were also informed that the locations of the road markings might change in different trials, but no further details on the underlying logic of the waypoint placement

while in that day you're feeling good about the assets you accumulated, but what you don't know is they just got a franchise player. It really comes down to personal preference. But I'm sure the team that traded down five years later would love to have Corey Perry. That's the judgment at the draft."
At the 2015 draft, Shero's first with the Devils, forward Pavel Zacha was selected at No. 6. In eight drafts as GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins (2006-13), Shero took a number of defensemen early, including four of seven first-round picks. But Shero said that was more a reflection of which players were available when the Penguins were picking, not a strategy.
"We took [defensemen] or forwards," Shero said. "Whether it was that year, 2012, was realmembership updated with developments and opportunities for teaching on GCYF

a wide-open Melo for three, like he did in the Atlanta game, then you won't see me complaining either.
(Fun fact: Of the 14 highest-usage seasons in Knicks history, only three were turned in by someone other than Patrick Ewing or Bernard King -- '12-'13 Melo, '11-'12 Melo, '10-'11 Amar'e)
In conclusion: Melo be scorin'. Not even the finest scoring season can guarantee even a trip to the playoffs, as our buddies Richie and Willie showed us back in '62. (Wait a minute: "Richie" is just another name for "Dick". You mean the Knicks had a "Dick" and a "Willie" on their team back in the early sixties? WHY WASN'T I BORN FIVE DECADES EARLIER!) As favorably as Melo compares to Bernard King at the moment, every Knicks fan knowsAbout the Author

for now, you can read Bruno's comments here.
Morgellons is claimed to be a new form of skin disease by its sufferers but has been largely ignored by the medical community and some have claimed it is, in reality, a psychotic syndrome akin to delusional parasitosis.
Michael Shannon's character in Bugsuffered from delusions that far exceeded mere aphid infestation, and he easily persuaded his drunk, drug-using, desperate and lonely new girlfriend (Ashley Judd) that the tiny bugs were real, so that she spiraled down with him in a folie à deux:
(literally, "a madness shared by two") is a rare psychiatric syndrome in which a symptom of psychosis (particularly a paranoid or delusional belief) is transmitted from one individual to another. ... Recent psychiatric classifications refer to the syndrome as sharedmidbrain–the ventral tegmental area (VTA)–whose activity then increases. The VTA then releases dopamine not only into the nucleus accumbens, but also into the septum, the amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex.
The nucleus accumbens then activates the individual’s motor functions, while the prefrontal cortex focuses his or her attention.
I hadn't heard of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) as a DBS target region, but it makes sense from the standpoint of anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure from normally pleasurable life events) in major depression. Why not stimulate the "pleasure center" when you're feeling blue? Extensive research in animals and humans has demonstrated "hedonic hot spots" (Pecina et al., 2006) in the NAcc that respond to food and pharmaceutical and financial and... er uh sexual rewards (Knutson & Cooper, 2005).

football games with his Dad. He likes taking challenges, and beat the world record for pogo-jumping by four hours. He also has been seen playing video games. In Bye Bye Ball he was playing on what could be the "Nintendo Game Boy" or "Game Boy Color". Jackson is also skilled at plumbing.
In the series finale, Rico fires Jackson, having previously rehired him to work at his new pizza place, to force him to get a real job. After failing to find one, Rico realizes that Jackson is the closest thing he has to a friend and vice-versa, and decides to call in a favor to get him a job as a video game tester. This causes Jackson and Rico to finally admit that they are friends.
Jackson is verymessy, and has made all of the Stewart family's previous housekeepers quit. However, when Lilly cleans his room, he has difficulty finding things. Jackson is of below-average height for his age and is shorter than both Miley and Lilly, which he is often teased about. Despite the fact that Jackson is a teenager, Jason Earles was in his late 20's when the show started (nearly 28 years old). When the show ended, he was in his mid 30's.
Friends
Though Jackson has had many friends, his closest friend is Rico Suave. His other friends include Cooper, Thor, and Oliver Oken. Over the course of the series, he has made temporary friendships, but none of them have lasted, at least on screen.

connection paid off when SNL* head writer Tina Fey created *30 Rock. Lorne Michaels, who produces both shows, persuaded Baldwin to do the sitcom, a move that reenergized his career. Though he began as a parttime performer when NBC launched the show, his role grew and he signed on for six seasons, which will take him through 2012. Playboy* sent Michael Fleming, who last interviewed Hugh Jackman, to catch up with Baldwin in the Hamptons, where he lives part of the time. Fleming reports, “In person he is a bit thicker and grayer now than in his matinee idol days. Considering the withering comments he has lobbed at enemies in the past, I expected Baldwin to come out firing. He is still a live wire, but age anda constant duration of approximately 6 s. In order to ensure that participants in the visual feedback condition were really tracking the cursor as instructed, 10% of the trials were constructed as so-called catch trials. In catch trials the blue cursor indicating the movement brightened shortly (yellow), which should be detected and reported by the participants as a secondary task. Immediately after the completion of the movement they had to give a verbal response according to their estimation of the shape of the hand trajectory by saying "spitz" (="acute") or "stumpf" (="obtuse"). The experimenter registered the responses manually.
Procedure

The experiment was carried out in two consecutive sessions. In Session I, a trial started with an audio signal, after which the robot arm began to move. Starting from the vertex down

outbreak started in April 2007 near the Black Sea Port of Poti. Catering waste, including infected pig meat from ships in the port, is considered to be the most likely source of the infection. As of July 9, 2007, the outbreak had spread to 56 of 61 districts in Georgia. Reports to OIE indicated that \>80,000 pigs had died or been destroyed in Georgia. Outbreaks of ASF were also reported in neighboring regions, including the autonomous republic of Abkhazia ([@R7]). On August 29, 2007, ASF was confirmed in Armenia and on November 4, 2007 ([@R8]), in Nagorno-Karabakh ([@R9]), a de facto independent republic that is officially part of Azerbaijan and near its border with Armenia. On November 5, 2007, infection of a wild boar was confirmed in theRussian Republic of Chechnya near the border with Georgia. To control the spread of disease, wild boars were killed in 17 different regions in Chechnya, and the slaughter of the entire pig population was ordered ([@R10]). Further outbreaks of ASF were reported in Nagorno-Karabakh in April 2008, where it is believed that ≈8,500 pigs have died as a result of disease since the beginning of the outbreaks.
Here we describe the genetic characterization of the ASFV isolates implicated in the 2007 outbreak of the disease in Georgia. Results of the analysis showed that the Georgia isolates group within genotype II, which suggests that the virus is closely related to ASFV isolates typically found in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Zambia ([@R4],[@R11],[@R12]).

it acquired the skeleton of Zuul crurivastator (ZOOL' crer-uh-vas-TAYT'-or) last year. The name references Zuul, a dog-like monster that terrorizes characters played by Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis in the 1984 movie. The museum says scientists picked the name Zuul based on the features of its head, which includes a short, rounded snout and prominent horns behind the eyes.
The skeleton of the armored dinosaur was excavated from the Judith River Formation in Montana. Scientists say it's one of the best preserved ankylosaurs ever found, with a complete skull and tail club and preserved soft tissues.
Ky. High School 'Adulting Class' Teaches 'Real World' Skills
A high school in Kentucky held an “Adulting Day” to teach some seniors “real world” skills like balancing a check book and dorm room cooking.When the United Auto Workers first tried to unionize production workers at Volkswagen's assembly plant in Chattanooga more than five years ago, the company filed the request to the National Labor Relations Board after the union collected enough petition signatures.
Ahead of that 2014 union vote, VW and the UAW signed a neutrality pledge that limited both sides from directly engaging in criticism of one another and also blocked the union from making house calls to plant workers about the union campaign.
But after UAW narrowly lost that organizing bid by a 712-626 vote in February 2014, the UAW is trying again to organize the Chattanooga plant with a more confrontational approach this year from both the union, the company and pro- and anti-union groups drawn to the battle.

Cantu testified that he and defendant got into an argument in the early morning hours on January 12, 1990. Cantu had apparently made a comment regarding whether defendant was going to move out of the house and defendant took offense. After a brief verbal exchange, defendant left the room and returned with a pistol, placed it against Cantu's head, and threatened to "blow [his] brains out." Cantu managed to knock the pistol from defendant's hand and pushed him out of the room. Defendant soon returned with a knife in each hand and repeatedly slashed Cantu in the head and arm.
Cantu managed to escape and ran to a nearby gas station. Maria Cantu, Jose Cantu's mother, testified that her son called her, told her that Mateo hadhere was not harmless. Accordingly, I would reverse the conviction. However, even under a "lesser" standard, I believe that the error was not harmless.
The separate opinion states that if "the whole record" consisted of the testimony of the victim Jose Cantu, the defense witness Crystal Blair, and the improper rebuttal testimony of Jennifer Brecht, it would hold that the error required reversal. Op. at 916-917. However, by adding in the hearsay statement of the victim's sister Elva Lulgjurflj, the separate opinion finds that the error becomes harmless. I cannot agree with this latter conclusion.
Cantu testified that he had been staying temporarily with Lulgjurflj. Defendant Mateo was also living there, as well as Lulgjurflj's and Mateo's three children. At around 12:15 a.m. on the night of the assault, Cantu

affirm the district court's denial of the writ of habeas corpus, insofar as it applies to Hess's claim that his representation fell below professional standards because counsel failed to call additional witnesses. The district court, however, did not explore fully Hess's claim that his lawyer rejected a defense inculpating another client due to an actual conflict of interest, which, in turn, may have deprived him of the right to counsel. Accordingly, the district court's order of June 5, 1996, is vacated in part, and this matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Apparently, the day before Barbara Becker died, a Children and Youth Services ("CYS")In October 2015, two years after Edward Snowden blew the whistle on mass surveillance in the United States, the European Court of Justice overturned a 15-year-old agreement allowing data to flow seamlessly from Europe to America.
The ruling marked the conclusion of a two-year legal battle instigated by Max Schrems, an Austrian graduate student who had taken issue with the US National Security Agency's PRISM programme. Snowden's revelations, Schrems argued, proved that US firms such as Facebook couldn't be trusted to protect European data from the prying eyes of the US government.
In the months following the ruling, EU and US officials scrambled to put in place new measures to ensure that European data would be better protected across the Atlantic. Eventually, in 2016, they settled on a new framework

both were denounced by Culmine. The war of words escalated. On 25 October 1929, someone assassinated Emilio López Arango, an editor of La Protesta. At first a group of bakers who were members of the same union as Arango were suspected of the killing but were never charged with the crime. Di Giovanni and his group were reportedly the prime suspects in the assassination.La Protesta immediately denounced the bombing of the Italian consulate. The criticism had no effect. Three days after the Italian consulate bombing, Di Giovanni struck again in Caballito, bombing the home of Cesare Afeltra, a member of Mussolini's secret police. Alfeltra was accused by Italian anarchist exiles of having practiced torture on members of various radical anarchist and anti-fascist groups in Italy. U.S. President-elect HerbertHoover visited Argentina in December 1928. Di Giovanni wanted to bomb Hoover's train in revenge for the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, but the bomber, Alejandro Scarfó, was detained shortly before installing the explosives on the rails.
This debacle led Di Giovanni to suspend his bombing campaign; he focused instead on his journal Culmine. In 1929, he wrote: {{Quote|Spending monotonous hours among the common people, the resigned ones, the collaborators, the conformists – isn't living; it's a vegetative existence, simply the transport, in ambulatory form, of a mass of flesh and bones. Life needs the exquisite and sublime experience of rebellion in action as well as thought.}}

Although the outbreak has been well controlled in China since March 2020, the pandemic has now affected more than 200 countries (WHO, [@ref3]). When many Chinese residents who were either studying or working aboard begun to return to China since February 2020, some of them were infected with COVID-19. As a new wave of infection cases was imported from abroad, several temporary isolation hospitals were urgently established in major cities to provide early identification and management.

Anne stumbles upon the rebel hiding in a closet, and this discovery forces her to make a choice: she can let him go or use magic to erase him from existence. As the player, it’s a difficult decision fraught with uncertainty, since you know little about the rebel and are forced to act quickly. And the moment isn’t diminished at all by the fact that the rebel is actually a flowing, sentient scarf.

January 1982 as the date of first use.[6] None of the STEALTH registrations mentions athletic shoes or boots, rubber, or rubber shoe soles. Stoller nevertheless claims that his companies have been using the STEALTH mark on athletic shoes since at least 1985. SI and Stoller do own registrations covering shoes under the trademarks SENTRA, LOVE YOUR BODY, WHITE LINE FEVER, and DARK STAR, but not STEALTH.
The Stoller companies market and sell STEALTH sporting goods products (and, allegedly, STEALTH athletic shoes) directly through catalogs and sales representatives, and wholesale through broad-based retailers such as Wal-Mart and K-Mart. In addition, the Stoller companies have entered into numerous license agreements permitting third parties to use the STEALTH mark on sporting goods. Four license agreements specifically allow third-party use of STEALTH onSTEALTH footwear license agreements: a 1994 non-exclusive license permitting Cabela's, Inc. to use the STEALTH mark on "footwear"; a 1995 nonexclusive license allowing The Sportsman's Guide to use the mark -40$ STEALTH on hunting boots; and a 1996 five-year license giving Mitsushiba International, Inc. the right to use STEALTH on golf shoes.
Stoller states that his companies continue to market and sell "a broad range of consumer products including athletic and sport shoes." Stoller Decl. ¶ 10.

like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr and a whole lot of others who started or ran the race at one point or other.
There are so many heroes and heroines in America who have over time contributed to the struggle to reach the stage where an African-American will in just over 70 days take over the reins of power in America.
It was Rosa Parks, a seamstress, who gave the Civil Rights movement the direction it took which resulted in the rise of Martin Luther King Jr who was to give the now famous “I have a dream” speech, a dream now fulfilled in Obama.
One day in the 1950s, Parks, knackered from a hard day’s job, got onto a bus in Montgomery, Alabama and plonked"Palmer Effect", (The African-American US President in the TV series 24), which proved more powerful than any Bradley Effect which some people predicted would haunt Obama on election.
One of my friends responded rather colourfully as follows:
"It obviously looks like a case of where the arts lead, America will follow. A similar precedent was set by Star trek creator Gene Roddenbury with the introduction of the 1966 black femalecharacter captain Uhura at a time when chifitas in the movies still worked on the plantation. He had to explain to the real american public where he got the notion that a black person could hold such high office, and he did that by saying that the period drama was set ''well into the future''. Amen !"

Jura Energy provide an update on production from Zarghun South
Jura Energy Corporation announce the successful full commissioning of the surface processing facilities at its Zarghun South gas field and a consequent significant increase in sale gas volumes from the field.
As disclosed in Jura's press release dated August 13, 2014, "off specification" gas was being sold from the field under an interim gas sale arrangement (the "Interim Arrangement") due to a delay in the commissioning of an Amine Sweetening Unit. The "off specification" gas was being sold at a 30% price discount.
Following full commissioning of the processing facilities, gas supplied to Sui Southern Gas Company Limited ("SSGCL") now meets the specification requirements provided under the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement with SSGCL and is no longer being sold ata 30% price discount for "off specification" gas.

Ultra-pure water was added in order to maintain 50% of the soil's water-holding capacity during the test period. Three seedlings were transplanted to the PC one week after germination using the non-contaminated soil. The side and upper parts of the rhizobox were covered with aluminum foil to provide shade except for the upper part of the PC. The water content in the soil was maintained at its initial level by the addition of water every two or three days. The evapotranspiration rate of the plants was calculated as the sum of the amount of water added.

EL CAJON, Calif. - Firefighters and construction workers frantically shoveled at a construction site where a man was trapped in a confined space Monday, authorities said.
A 20-foot-long section of a 6-foot-high concrete wall collapsed at a construction site at North Marshall Avenue and Wagner Road around 12:20 p.m.
Two men were digging footings next to the wall when it collapsed, fire officials said. One of them, a 21-year-old man, was pushed back and not trapped underneath the structure. He injured his leg and back. The other victim, only identified as a 51-year-old man, became

daugher of Sukhraj and his wife Lorraine‚ and outrage at her death gained momentum on social media as news of her shooting went viral.
The father and daughter had been leaving their home in a Hundai vehicle - which according to Sukraj's Facebook page was bought in February - when they were accosted by the gunmen.
Chatsworth community policing forum chairperson Jakes Singh said the vehicle that was hijacked near Marklands Secondary School in Shallcross.
"The hijackers drove away with the nine-year-old child. The hijacked vehicle was pursued by the child's father‚ and then there was a shooting‚ so we don't know exactly how the child got shot and by whom‚" he said.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala said the incident took place outside the child's home‚ which is near theschool. "At 7:30am the victim (the father) was at the family home when he was accosted by three armed suspects who then deprived him of his vehicle. There was a shooting and the suspects sped off with the nine-year-old girl."
The hijackers then hit a truck and lost control of the vehicle in a nearby park. One of the men was arrested as he fled the scene by an off-duty police officer‚ another died near the vehicle and a third man remains at large.
Gwala confirmed that one of the hijackers was killed. "The nature of his injuries is still unknown because the forensic team is still busy. A 39-year-old suspect was apprehended by an off-duty police official who witnessed the incident‚" she said.

McElroy and a partner robbed in another retail establishment, forcing the victim-employee at gunpoint to open the cash register, from which the cash was removed. McElroy was convicted of robbery, with the jury finding he personally used a firearm in committing this crime.
On March 18, 1987 (counts 12 through 15), McElroy and a partner returned to the site of the March 11 robbery, and again robbed personnel at the store. The first victim, an employee, was forced, at gunpoint, to open the cash register, from which the cash was removed. As the first victim was being robbed, a second victim (also an employee) began to approach the register, and was warned not to try anything. A few moments later, McElroy instructed his partner to "Go back and gethis [the second victim's] *1421 money." The partner then robbed the second victim of the cash in his wallet. A third victim (a customer), who had entered the store while the robbery was in progress, was also forced at gunpoint to turn over his money. A fourth victim-customer (count 15) was also in the store during the robbery. McElroy approached her, pointed his gun at her and demanded her money. The victim stated she had no cash, and gave McElroy her "A.T.M." card instead. McElroy returned her card, slapped her, and he and his partner then exited. McElroy was convicted of three counts of robbery (counts 12 through 14), with the jury finding (on each count) he personally used a firearm in committing the crimes. McElroy was also

Con Coughlin, the Telegraph's defence editor and chief foreign affairs columnist, echoed the mantra that McCain was a "war hero."
In similar vein, "neutral" and "impartial" Nick Bryant, the BBC's New York correspondent, intoned loftily on BBC News at Ten on August 27:
Washington without John McCain is a lesser place. He was a human landmark; an American hero whose broken body personified the Land of the Brave.
Senior reporters from Channel 4 News and ITV News added their own eulogies to warmonger McCain, dubbed "McNasty" by people who had observed his "inexplicable angry outbursts." C4 News political correspondent Michael Crick said via Twitter:
I'll always be grateful to John McCain. When I was #C4News Washington Correspondent in the late '80s, he was one of the few senators happyto do interviews with us, and always very friendly & accommodating.
Robert Moore, ITV News Washington Correspondent responded:
Agreed. And that continued almost until the end – for the foreign press, McCain was the single most accessible political figure in Washington. He always had time for an interview, and a joke – including teasing me for my choice of ties.
Other Twitter users put things in stark perspective:
And:
It would be hard to find an exchange on Twitter that better exemplifies the divide between sycophantic journalists fawning before power, and members of the public refusing to whitewash a politician's ugly record.
Patrick Martin, writing for the World Socialist Website, makes a vital point:
The overriding feature of McCain's career [...] was his reflexive hawkishness on foreign policy. He supported war after war, intervention after

The UNWTO says the volume of international trips by Chinese travelers grew from 10 million in 2000 to 83 million in 2012, making it the world's fastest-growing market.
So what's behind the increase?
The UNWTO credits rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes and the relaxation of government restrictions on foreign travel.
"In 2005 China ranked seventh in international tourism expenditure, and has since successively overtaken Italy, Japan, France and the United Kingdom," says the report.
"With the 2012 surge, China leaped to first place, surpassing both top spender Germany and second largest spender United States (both close to US$84 billion in 2012)."

The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce - and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So, we fight, to defend Earth and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.
The End of All Things: Old Man's War, Book 6
Humans expanded into space...only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement...for the Colonial Union. Thenthe Earth said: no more.
The Android's Dream
A human diplomat creates an interstellar incident when he kills an alien diplomat in a most unusual way. To avoid war, Earth's government must find an equally unusual object: A type of sheep ("The Android's Dream"), used in the alien race's coronation ceremony. To find the sheep, the government turns to Harry Creek, ex-cop, war hero and hacker extraordinaire.

Manhattan, New York City. Under the New York State Urban Development Corporation Act, New York Unconsolidated Laws, Secs. 6251, et seq. (McKinney 1979), the Legislature vested the UDC with broad powers to enter into contracts and acquire property for the reconstruction, improvement and rehabilitation, in cooperation with private enterprise, of slum or blighted areas for the purpose of eliminating crime and delinquency, improving the physical, educational and economic development of such areas, and increasing employment and business opportunities therein.
3
In June 1980 the City and the UDC entered into a formal "Memorandum of Understanding," in which they agreed to cooperate to improve and redevelop the 42nd Street area, in order to ameliorate the "street crime, substandard and [unsanitary] conditions, undesirable uses and physical and social blight whichhave impaired the sound growth and development of the Project Area and of the City as a whole." By June 1981 these two parties had issued the "42nd Street Development Project: A Discussion Document" and design guidelines for the Project, and had made a formal request for proposals from private developers for the construction of new buildings to be used as retail stores, theatres, and for other purposes. The "Project Area" consists of a 3-block section between 40th and 42nd Streets, bounded by Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The UDC Board of Directors also issued two documents, "Basis for Blight Finding" and "Statutory Findings of Substandard Area," setting forth the factual findings required by the UDC Act.

She went on to win her first outdoor NCAA hammer throw title a few months later. Dahlgren improved her championship record to 69.07 m to take a second continental gold at the 2006 South American Championships in Athletics. She also won at the 2006 South American Games, which acted as the South American Under-23 Athletics Championships that year.

SheOn July 18, 1918, two large bolts of lightning struck and killed 654 head of sheep on Mill Canyon Peak in American Fork Canyon. According to one historical account: "Forked lightning had struck twice and split down two sides of the peak...There was about a seventy-five foot swath in between the dead sheep and where not a one was injured...The dead sheep all had to be moved to the opposite side of the canyon so as to be off the 'water shed.' Men counted them as they were moved, 654 sheep had been killed."

for the patient's arm size was attached to the non-dominant arm. The ABPM device checked the patient's BP at intervals of 15 to 30 min in their actual personal life. The patients recorded actual daily activities while they were monitored. The BP index was calculated as mean daytime BP divided by the 95th percentile for gender and height by referring to the normalized reference values from the German Working Group study \[[@CR4]\]. The BP load was defined as a percentage of the BP readings above the 95th percentile during the daytime. Essential hypertension was defined as mean daytime systolic BP index ≥1.0. Night dipping was defined as the decrease of mean of nocturnal BP readings for 10 % of the mean of the daytime readings.

has condemned as a worldwide "diaspora tax" on its nationals, valued at two per cent of their income.
It often adds a second tax up to $500, described on the Eritrean government clearance form as a "donation to national defence against Ethiopian invasion."
On Sept. 10, 2012, Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs advised the Eritrean consul in Toronto that soliciting and collecting these taxes was incompatible with consular duties, and his accreditation would not be renewed if he and his consulate didn't stop.
The consulate later indicated in writing that it would comply.
But audio provided to CBC News by Eritrean-born Teklezghi Yohannes Gabir from a meeting he attended in Winnipeg on April 21, 2013, reveals a voice he identifies as that of the consul sounding as if he is again solicitingand they don't know what is going on."
But a source tells CBC News that Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), is familiar with the story and has been in contact with the Eritrean community seeking information about the tax scam.
And the issue was also laid out to federal officials as recently as three months ago, according to Ghazae Hagos, who was present at the meeting.
Hagos, a former journalist in the Eritrean capital of Asmara, speaks for HIDMONA, the Eritrean-Canadian Human Rights Group of Manitoba.
He says he and a colleague met last February with Conservative MP Deepak Obhrai, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, and a deputy director from the Africa division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

In each supply chain, there are different moments of truth. At Procter and Gamble, AJ Lafley defined two moments of truth: Purchase and Usage. He organized supply chain processes around winning at these two moments of truth. In other supply chains, the moments of truth differ. A moment of truth is an inflection point, where the success of the supply chain is clear. It is making the decisions that matter at the inflection points.
I am working with an agro sciences company with four moments of truth: planting, harvest, sales and yield. I also worked this year with a contact lens manufacturer that had a unique moment of truth.

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister K Palaniswami on Saturday told DMK President M K Stalin that the state took an early lead in tackling the spread of Covid-19 and slammed the opposition leader for indulging in "opportunistic politics" on the issue.Responding to Stalin's letter to him, Palaniswami in a statement detailed the various steps taken by his government in connection with fighting the spread of coronavirus as well as reaching out to the people during the ongoing lockdown.Stalin had earlier urged the government to take a cue from Punjab and Odisha and extend the lockdown enforced in the state to stem the spread of coronavirus till April-end, besides seeking cash assistance to people affected from the lockdown.Though isolation was a key precautionary measure, many states had urged theCentre to extend the lockdown, Stalin had pointed out."The Chief Ministers of Odisha (Naveen Patnaik) and Punjab (Amarinder Singh) have extended the lockdown till April 30 and May 1, respectively. Therefore, a due decision on this in Tamil Nadu should be taken without further delay," Stalin, Leader of the Opposition in the state, said in the letter.He said the lockdown will affect the livelihood of the poor, farmers, labourers and small time traders and urged the government to ensure they did not suffer during this period.The DMK leader demanded for a cash assistance of Rs 5,000, besides provision of essentials like rice and pulses to people.He said the lack of rapid test kits combined with incomplete assessment of the damage caused by the virus had put the people

The ordinance contained "an annual franchise, occupation or privilege tax" of one percent of the gross receipts derived from the company's distribution and sale of electric energy to customers within the corporate limits of the City. That same year, the City entered into a similar agreement with Iowa Power and Light Company concerning the distribution and sale of natural gas. This ordinance contained "an annual franchise, occupation or privilege tax" of two percent of the gross receipts derived from the company's distribution and sale of natural gas to customers within the corporate limits of the City.
After the expiration of the 1960 franchise agreements, the agreements were updated by ordinances. Iowa Power and Light Company retained the electricfranchise for a fee equal to one percent of the gross receipts derived from the company's sale of electric energy to customers within the corporate limits of the City. Midwest Gas Company held the gas franchise for a fee equal to one percent of the gross receipts derived from the company's sale of *634 natural gas to customers within the corporate limits of the City.

Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (referred to generically as "core based statistical areas" or CBSAs) are statistical geographic areas defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB), following a set of official standards published in the Federal Register. http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/00-32997.pdfTo meet the needs of various users for standard units at various geographic scales, OMB's standards provide for a flexible framework of area definitions that includes, in addition to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, metropolitan divisions, combined statistical areas, New England city and town areas (NECTAs), NECTA divisions, and combined NECTAs. Documentation ofsubdivided into metropolitan divisions, which function as distinct social and economic areas within the larger metropolitan statistical area. The territory, population, and housing units in metropolitan statistical areas are referred to as "metropolitan." The metropolitan category is subdivided into "inside principal city" and "outside principal city." The territory, population, and housing units located outside territory designated "metropolitan" are referred to as "nonmetropolitan;" the latter designation also include micropolitan statistical areas. These categories do not equate to an urban/rural classification; indeed, all metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas and territory located outside CBSAs contain a mixture of urban and rural territory, population, and housing units. While it is the case that the populations of metropolitan statistical areas tend to be predominantly urban, according to Census 2000 data, over 50 percent

of the U.S. rural population resides within metropolitan statistical areas.
Combined statistical areas are groupings of adjacent metropolitan and/or micropolitan statistical areas that have social and economic ties as measured by commuting to work, but at lower levels than are found among counties within individual metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. Combined statistical areas can be characterized as representing larger regions that reflect broader social and economic interactions, such as wholesaling, commodity distribution, and weekend recreation activities, and are likely to be of considerable interest to regional authorities and the private sector.
In view of the importance of cities and towns in New England, OMB's standards also provide for a set of geographic areas that are defined using cities and towns in the six New England states. New England city andtown areas (NECTAs), NECTA divisions, and combined NECTAs provide a city- and town-based set of areas conceptually similar to the county-based metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, metropolitan divisions, and combined statistical areas.
OMB's standards provide for the identification of one or more principal cities within each metropolitan statistical area, micropolitan statistical area, and NECTA. (The term "principal city" replaces "central city," the term used in previous standards.) Principal cities encompass both incorporated places and census designated places (CDPs). In each metropolitan statistical area, micropolitan statistical area, and NECTA the largest place and, in some cases, additional places are designated as "principal cities" under the official standards. A principal city does not include any part of that place that extends outside the metropolitan statistical area, micropolitan statistical area, or NECTA

Samuel Langley testing off a houseboat in 1893. USAF Since 1899, Wilbur and Orville Wright had been scientifically experimenting with the concepts of flight. They labored in relative obscurity, while the experiments of Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian were followed in the press and underwritten by the War Department. Yet Langley, as others before him, had failed to achieve powered flight. They relied on brute power to keep their theoretically stable machines aloft, sending along a hapless passenger and hoping for the best. It was the Wrights' genius and vision to see that humans would have to fly their machines, that the problems of flight could not be solved from the ground. In Wilbur's words, "It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill."With over a thousand glides from atop Big Kill Devil Hill, the Wrights made themselves the first true pilots. These flying skills were a crucial component of their invention. Before they ever attempted powered flight, the Wright brothers were masters of the air. A 1928 reproduction of the Wright brothers' engine for 1903 Flyer. Library of Congress; Prints and Photographs Division; LC-W86- 58 Their glider experiments on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, though frustrating at times, had led them down the path of discovery. Through those experiments, they had solved the problem of sustained lift and more importantly they could now control an aircraft while in flight. The brothers felt they were now ready to truly fly. But first, the Wrights had to power their aircraft. Gasoline

"I despise simplicity. It
is the negation of all that is beautiful."
Hartnell was appointed official dressmaker to the royal family in 1938. He made Elizabeth's wedding dress in 1947, and her coronation gown (pictured above, in Norman's sketch and as Elizabeth exits her carriage) in 1953. Everything he created for the royals was certainly fit for a queen, but he had to walk a fine line. A queen's clothes have to be regal, yes; they also have to be both not trendy and not obsolete. "The Queen doesn't want to set the
style," he said. "She wants to be comfortable." Then again, take a look at the clothes he designed for regular gals — like this video of models posing awkwardly in his spring ’38 collection — and decide howmuch he really knew about comfort.
In Windsor Forest, Hartnell had a country home (and a mink farm!) where "all
sorts of people would roll up for drinks, lunch or tea," according to one biographer. In London, his favorite spot for afternoon tea was Claridge's, in Mayfair, where he had a favorite table near the door. (Today, for some reason, the tea menu at the Doubletree Hotel in Cambridge claims to be "inspired by Norman Hartnell and Lord Byron," which is, for so many reasons, an amusing pairing.) I visited Claridge's on my London tea trip a couple of years ago. I also stopped by the Bruton Street building where Hartnell's fashion house thrived for so many years. It's been nicely restored, and his name is still on it.

, and Hall has been working with Cain there for about a year.
Brandon Cain, left, and Mike Wilson opened Saw's Soul Kitchen in March 2012. They are also partners in the new Post Office Pies. (Birmingham News file/Hal Yeager)
Hall, who grew up in Avondale, worked in New York City at such restaurants as Gramercy Tavern, Per Se and Momofuku before he moved back to Birmingham about a year ago.
"He had a little underground pizza company up in New York and got a cult following," Cain said. "So he's kind of our pizza expert. He's going to be the guy running the show. Andhe's going to be part-owner with us."
The menu will feature 12-inch, thin-crust, New York-style pizzas for dinner and 9-inch pizzas at lunch, along with a couple of salads each day, Wilson said.
Located on 41st Street on Avondale's main drag, Post Office Pies sits between Saw's Soul Kitchen and Avondale Brewing Company, and it fronts the outdoor stage and courtyard area behind the brewery.
Customers may sit at a horseshoe-shaped bar, drink an Avondale beer and watch while the Post Office Pies "dough boys" prepare the pizza dough in a glass-enclosed prep area that will also be visible from the street, Cain said.
"You will get to see the backbone of what we do," Cain said. "We are going to call it the 'dough room.' We want to make it fun."

Piyush Goyal said all applicants should get "fair and equal opportunity" to serve the country
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal today appealed to agitating students seeking permanent jobs in the railways to apply for the ongoing recruitment drive which ends on March 31. The minister said the agitation by students in Mumbai was called off at 10.35 am.With scores of protesting students bringing the rail services in the country's financial capital to a halt early this morning, the minister said all applicants should get a "fair and equal opportunity" to serve the country.One of the major demands of the job aspirants, mostly comprising those who have passed the Railway Act Apprentice exam, is scrapping the 20 per cent upper limit for hiring.Addressing a hurriedly-called press conference, Mr Goyal said 20per cent of the posts were reserved in keeping with the "various judgements pronounced by the Supreme Court from time to time and as per section 22(1) of the Apprentices Act".This 20 per cent posts are reserved for 'course completed act apprentices' who were already engaged in railway establishment under the Apprenticeship Act.Indian Railways is currently in the midst of a massive recruitment drive to fill over 90,000 Group C and Group D posts and the minister urged them to apply for these jobs, the last date of which is March 31.This is the single largest recruitment ever undertaken by the railways in India.Earlier in the day, hundreds of students blocked rail traffic, including suburban services between the busy Matunga and Dadar stations in Mumbai, causing difficulties to

as "Our Lady's bird" or the "Lady beetle". Mary (Our Lady) was often depicted wearing a red cloak in early paintings and the spots of the seven spot ladybird (the most common in Europe) were said to symbolise her seven joys and seven sorrows. Common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkäfer translates to "Marybeetle" or, literally, Mary-chafer). In the United States the name was adapted to "ladybug".
A:
Etymonline says:
ladybug1690s, from lady + bug. The "lady" is the Virgin Mary (cf. Ger. cognate Marienkäfer). In Britain, now usually ladybird beetle (1704), through aversion to the word bug, which there has overtones of sodomy.
As to Lady Bird Johnson, that nickname was given to her by her nurse, as Wikipedia explains:
Though she was named forher mother's brother Claud, during her infancy, her nurse, Alice Tittle, commented, she was as "purty as a ladybird" [...]. That nickname virtually replaced her actual first name for the rest of her life. Her father and siblings called her Lady, though her husband called her Bird, which is the name she used on her marriage license. During her teenage years, her schoolmates had called her Bird, though mockingly, since she reportedly was not fond of the name.
Responding to your comment, I will add that both of her parents were natives of Alabama and the nurse was an African American. The Corpus of Historical American Language has these stats for ladybird vs. ladybug:

demonology. Take the first and scariest Halloween, where a trench-coated Donald Pleasence will gravely insist to anyone he meets—the disbelieving bumpkin Sheriff or a textbook-toting Jamie Lee Curtis—that Michael Meyers, like a demon, is a manifestation of pure evil. Indeed this notion is reinforced by the killer’s facelessness and the fact that the post-production credits in the first Halloween film refer to Meyers not by name but as the "Shape."
As a demon is subject to nothing but his own egregious sin, Michael Meyers is a slave to the past. He is obliged to re-live the trauma, his interaction with the world is confined to a single night of the entire year, and outside of this minute window he is utterly impotent; virtually non-existent. Meyers must stalk a singlehowever, there exists a spectrum of possible demonic agency and will. A few centuries after Augustine, demons enjoyed substantial freedom and power to beleaguer mankind. The Aristotelian father of Christian Theology, Saint Thomas Aquinas, ceded considerable (though not completely autonomous) agency to the collective demons who identified themselves as “Legion.” In his commentary on Jesus' exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Mark 5), Aquinas' emphasis is on the nature of demons. He asserts that demons attack men because we are made in the image of God, whom the devils hate, though he says nothing of the method by which demons determine which men to attack. Instead, like a good Aristotelian, his emphasis rests on a description of the nature of demons, assuming that they opted to enter the swine

government stands accused of a sweeping crackdown on independent media, NGOs and rival politicians.
The sale, which caught the newspaper's staff by surprise, swiftly raised concerns about a contracting space for independent media in a country that lost its other main English newspaper last year. "The Post is really the last remaining newspaper that comes out every day and does long investigations on corruption, illegal logging and politics," said Abby Seiff, a Cambodia-based freelance journalist and former Phnom Penh Post editor.
"The journalist community is concerned about what the implication (of the sale) could be. It's just two months until the election and there's not much independent media left," she added.
In his statement, former owner Clough acknowledged that "turbulence" in Cambodia ahead of elections had put a spotlight on thea short flat ride could just go north up the valley on the old A41 which would be far too easy. So instead we took the masochistic option of going back westwards, climbing up out of the valley and then heading into the undulating (hilly) countryside of the Chilterns through Cholesbury until we ended up at the top of Wendover Woods. Then as some recompense for all the climbing we had a long downhill swoop towards Aston Clinton down on the plain. From there a relatively easy flat ride took us across to Wilstone passing the reservoirs, which are to the north of Tring.
Then it was into the ‘Half Moon’ pub, which was surprisingly busy. But as luck would have it we found there was another room that

if a thing happens once
it happens once for ever.
Josephine Balmer, from a review in Agenda of the latest works of Walcott, Heaney, Mahon and Dun.
This poem (Universal) is noble, both in conception and execution, a dense weave of lived experience, serious philosophical and theological questioning, humour, knowledge of many different spiritual and cultural traditions, evocations of spectacular inward and outward journeys.

'Vale Royal.' Say it aloud: the words are like footfalls...
The strangest element in (the poem) is its narrator. The challenge is to see how he gets his bearings and to hear correctly his voice, which is humble and yet omniscient. If it is possible to be lost and found at the same time, then this is how (Vale Royal) makes one feel. The effect is achieved by contrasts: the writing is constellated but earthed. (The poem) is curious in the antique sense of the word; the elaboration comes not through vocabulary but through the serpentine patternings of the three-line verses... shot through with colours: green, silver and gold, as though the whole poem was a glittering snake. (Here) is an uplifting sense of

'An epic dream... Dun's vision of a spiritual temple-complex of international arts, music, healing and devotion ... recognizes the sacred energies of the area (of Kings Cross, where) according to the poet, the magician Merlin is sleeping... somewhere under Filthy McNasty's Whiskey Cafe in Amwell Street - waiting for a millennial wake-up call.'

Verse novel is back in the spirit of Blake
Poetry's the new rock'n'roll, so no wonder verse novels, last in fashion around the time of Eugene Onegin, are on the rise too. Aidan Andrew Dun has just published an epic poem, McCool, with Goldmark Books. Dun is prettyMcCool himself, as when he launched his first book Vale Royal, he read extracts at the Albert Hall joined, in his last ever public appearance, by Allen Ginsberg.
McCool is a contemporary story set in 2011 after a Western invasion of Lebanon. Heroine Galatea is an art-journalist whose head is turned by war-painter McCool.
Aidan Andrew Dun's fans include Derek Walcott and Andrew Motion, Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd. He is, says Motion, "a poet who places himself in the tradition of William Blake, and has a vision of London - and indeed of the world - which draws strength from that association. He is simultaneously a one-off and in excellent company."

Cranking up the pressure ahead of the Friday's meeting, the European Union also threatened sanctions against anyone blocking the peace effort.

Fighting erupted in South Sudan's capital Juba in mid-December between soldiers loyal to Kiir and those backing Machar and quickly spread across the country.
Kiir's government at the time accused Machar of treason - a charge again denied by the rebel leader, who on Friday swapped his military fatigues for a dapper suit.

Under the CSL’s scheme, a charter school appeal petition filed in common pleas is
a separate action from a charter school application, and the CAB may only review
a school board’s decision on a charter school application. See 24 P.S. § 17-
1717(i)(6) (providing that “the decision made by the local board of directors shall
be reviewed by the appeal board on the record as certified by the local board of

to the CAB, the 2015 Order addressing the charter school appeal petition was final
and appealable to this Court.

vehicle rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara. He later died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In a 107,000-word manifesto called "My Twisted World," Rodger detailed his plan for his "day of retribution." His main theme was his intractable virginity, which he blamed on "the cruelness of women."
Some incels hail Rodger as the martyr of an armed rebellion -- or "beta uprising" -- waged by sexually frustrated incels against the "Chads and Stacys."
Who are 'Chads and Stacys'?
In the group's lingo, "Chads" are sexually satisfied men -- "charismatic, tall, good-looking, confident, muscular" -- according to the incels site. And "Stacys" are attractive women who reject incels.
Like other communities in the misogynistic online "manosphere," incels also use the term "red pill," as popularized by the movie, "The Matrix." Toincels, taking the red pill means waking up to a reality in which men -- not women -- are victims of systemic discrimination.
How have outsiders reacted to incels?
A change.org petition launched last summer decried the incel group as "the epicenter for misogyny on Reddit," citing posts encouraging violence against women and advocating rape.
It also pointed out that Rodger was lauded among some of the group's members, including those who called him "Saint Elliot."
Such adulation wasn't universal, though. In response to Rodger's attack, one member of the now-defunct Reddit group posted: "Tbh (to be honest), ... he's the reason we're associated with school shootings."

day, modifying their production to keep up with the times.
The O'Jays were formed in 1958 in Canton, OH, where all five original members -- Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell, Bill Isles, and Bobby Massey -- attended McKinley High School. Inspired to start a singing group after seeing a performance by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, they first called themselves the Triumphs, then switched to the Mascots in 1960. The Mascots made their recording debut in 1961 with the single "Miracles," issued on the Cincinnati-based King label. It earned them a fan in the influential Cleveland DJ Eddie O'Jay, who gave them some airplay and career advice; in turn, the group renamed itself the O'Jays in 1963, after having recorded for Apollo Records with producer Don Davis. Undertheir new name, the O'Jays signed with Imperial and hooked up with producer H.B. Barnum, who would helm their first charting single, 1963's "Lonely Drifter," plus several more singles that followed. Isles left the group in 1965 and was not replaced, leaving them a quartet; late in the year, they released their first-ever album, Comin' Through. In 1967, the O'Jays left Imperial for Bell, where they landed their first Top Ten single on the R&B charts, "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)." Discouraged by the difficulty of following that success, the group members considered throwing in the towel until they met Gamble & Huff -- then working as a production team for the Neptune label -- in 1968.

On March 9, the list of radio jobs lost to video got a little longer. NPR, under siege by conservatives who want to zero out public-media
funding, ousted its CEO after a video sting by a group run by conservative provocateur James O'Keefe.
In the video, NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller and a colleague met with two members of a fictional Muslim group dangling a $5 million donation.
Prodded by the "donors," Schiller said liberals "might be more educated" than conservatives, described Republicans as "anti-intellectual" and
said the GOP had been "hijacked" by the "racist" Tea Party. (See "Conservative Political Action Conference, Youth Edition: Where the Party Is.")
Or did he? After the tape became national news, and after NPR hastily sacrificed its CEO to appease critics, a video editor at the Blaze a website founded by Fox News host Glenn Beck compared the edited sting video and the two-hour original, also posted online.
Schiller did say some bad things, the Blaze found. But the short video took them out of context, like a bad reality show, and made them sound worse. It transposed remarks from a different part of the meeting to make it seem as if Schiller were amused by the group's "goal" of spreading Shari'a law. It left examples of his complimenting Republicans on the cutting-room floor.
And that Tea Party quote? Schiller was, for at least part of it, describing the views of some Republican friends. Somehow oops! O'Keefe left that bit out.
The full video hardly clears Schiller. His opining about liberals' education and conservatives' anti-intellectualism,

did post the full video, though his checkered history almost required it. His video scam on community organizer ACORN was shown to be
deceptively edited (he didn't volunteer the full source then), he pleaded guilty to attempting to enter a U.S. Senator's office in disguise, and another failed scam involved trying to sexually humiliate a CNN reporter.
By the time anyone scrutinized his NPR video, O'Keefe had already claimed a scalp and framed the narrative (snooty liberals insult you on
your dime!). While his manipulations would have been a firing offense at a news outlet with integrity, they only made O'Keefe more of a hero to his fans: he was making a bigger point, and, hey, the libs and the MSM do it too!

because we are finally emerging from the Microsoft monoculture that encouraged such lazy churnalism in the first place.
The death of the Microsoft monoculture is most evident in the world of browsers. After the collapse of Netscape, Microsoft's Internet Explorer was not so much a browser as the internet itself for most people. Accessing the internet meant clicking on that blue “e”. Microsoft's dominance was such that it stopped trying: Internet Explorer 6 was released in 2001 and was not replaced by version 7 until 2006 – an eternity in internet time.
Today, Internet Explorer is losing market share rapidly, and is down to 56% according to a recent survey. But just as significantly, it's not only Firefox that is gaining: Google's Chrome has over 10% (with Firefox on 22%).Some south Winnipeg families say they are feeling isolated as public transit struggles to keep up with the growing number of people settling down in the St. Norbert-Seine River ward.
New ward boundaries in place for the 2018 Winnipeg civic election essentially cut the old South Winnipeg-St. Norbert ward (the city's largest, with a population of 68,112) in half. That created the new ward of Waverley West and the renamed St. Norbert-Seine River ward.
For people like Bolanle Aina, who lives in St. Norbert-Seine River, addressing the gaps in transit services to the southernmost ward in the city is a top priority in this year's election.
"I'm on [maternity] leave right now, so I'm not going out often," said Aina, 35, who has lived in the ward's Richmond Lakes area for

the past three years. "But when I used to, for this area [the bus] usually comes late — or sometimes it doesn't show up at all."
John McKenzie, who lives in the ward's South St. Vital neighbourhood, says the area's scattered transit service makes it hard to get around on the bus with his two preschool-aged daughters.
"The way the bus routes are laid out here, if I wanted to go downtown, I might have to transfer as many as two times," said McKenzie, 59. "It's difficult to get out of my neighborhood with the two kids."
John McKenzie says he wants to see a clear vision for the city from candidates running for the St. Norbert-Seine River council seat. 'If you aren't working towards building prospects for my children, Idon't really want to talk to you — because you lack the vision that's required to hold the position, as far as I'm concerned,' he says.

Residents in the newly established St. Norbert-Seine River ward will have a chance to elect someone new to represent them at city hall on Oct. 24, with current South Winnipeg-St. Norbert Coun. Janice Lukes already acclaimed in the new Waverley West ward.

"He said we could change it if we wanted, but that if we did, it wouldn't be 'Young Caesar' anymore — it would be 'After "Young Caesar." ' This became a bit of an issue."
Eventually, finances got in the way. "The costs began to mount up until it became unfeasible to do it anymore," he said. In 2002, the Lincoln Center Festival canceled the production.
Harrison initially was upset. "Lou didn't get angry very often," Miller recalled. "But I was at his house when he was on the phone to the Lincoln Center. He said that he was tired and that he was through with making changes to the work." But according to Hanson, Harrison quickly moved on: "Lou had a long career with many ups and downs; heunderstood the Lincoln Center's decision and was just fine with it in the end."
That same year Harrison approached French-Canadian conductor Nicole Paiement. As artistic director of the San Francisco-based new music group Ensemble Parallèle, Paiement had a history of performing and recording Harrison's works. Under her baton, the group had presented numerous world premieres of the composer's pieces since its inception in 1993, including the world premiere recording of Harrison's only other opera, "Rapunzel," as well as arias from "Young Caesar."
Harrison experts and fans advised Paiement to avoid the project. "People told me not to get involved because of the opera's troubled history and because the score needed so much work," she said.
"Young Caesar's" poor critical reception, the Lincoln Center debacle and Harrison's general lack of recognition as

Since first achieving international fame in 1978 with the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, Renzo Piano has become known as a prolific, Italian architect capable of achieving a masterful balance between art, architecture and engineering. His intellectual curiosity and problem-solving techniques have led him to develop a wide-ranging portfolio that successfully merges high technology with humane and comfortable environments. Sophisticated, refined and elegant, the presence of Renzo Piano’s work is internationally celebrated. Originally born into a family of Italian builders, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect now leads a staff of 150 at his practice, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, from three locations – Genoa, Paris and New York. Architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff of The New York Times described Piano’s work the best when

Looking to the future.
Participants of the Residency Review and Redesign (R(3)P) Project have created a challenging strategic plan for pediatric residency education. In place of a list of prescriptions for immediate change, the R(3)P Committee recommends an ongoing project of goal-directed change, a quality improvement approach to resident education. It argues for changes based on evidence of important education outcomes that improve the health of children, adolescents, and young adults. Creation and maintenance of a process of ongoing, adaptive change will depend on the combined efforts of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors, the Association of Medical School Department Chairs, the American Board of Pediatrics, the Resident Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Review Committee for Pediatrics.the drive to the cot-

blocked sight of, and weapons access to, the patio. At the direction of
two Secret Service agents responsible for the President’s security, pe-

protesters had gathered, eventually moving them two blocks away to
a street beyond weapons reach of the President. The agents did not

Ivory Coast held elections in December 2010, despite the fact that pre-conditions had not been met. For starters, northern-Muslim rebel forces loyal to Muslim presidential candidate Alassane Ouattara refused to disarm; a fact that meant the electoral process in the north could hardly be free and fair. (How ironic that Bafétigué Ouattera (Côte d’Ivoire) has just been elected as a Vice-Chair of the UN's Disarmament Commission.)
After the Constitutional Council investigated all reported irregularities (as mandated by the constitution) it ruled that the incumbent, Laurent Gbagbo -- a southerner and observant Christian -- was the victor. However, before it could even announce its ruling, pro-Ouattara elements pre-empted the constitutional council's decision and broadcast via French TV from Ouattara's headquarters that Ouattara had won the election. The illegal announcement wasmet favourably in the West as a Ouattara presidency would serve French and US economic interests.
Confident of Western backing, Ouattara then moved to seize power through military violence. Up against the mighty army of the Ivorian secular State, the pro-Ouattara ethnic and Islamic rebels were the weaker force. The violent coup d'état coup was only successful due to NATO air-strikes and military assistance from France.
Having seized power through violence and with foreign assistance, it is no surprise to learn that Ouattara's hold on power is dependent on violence and terror.
On Monday 6 August, gunmen -- presumed to be Gbagbo loyalists -- killed six soldiers in a pre-dawn attack on the Akouédo military base in Abidjan. A day earlier, gunmen attacked a police station in Yopougon neighbourhood, on the

are majority Palestinian. Yet as Zahran notes, the "Palestinian majority has been discriminated against by the ruling Hashemite dynasty, propped up by a minority Bedouin population, from the moment it occupied Judea and Samaria during the 1948 war (these territories were annexed to Jordan in April 1950 to become the kingdom's West Bank)."
Held as "refugees" with a "right of return", the Palestinians are discriminated against in every way as they used as pawns in an Arab strategy aimed at destroying Israel. They are politically marginalised: "there is not a single Palestinian serving as governor of any of Jordan's twelve governorships", writes Zahran. Though they are the backbone of the Jordanian economy, the Palestinians suffer economic discrimination. For while they pay hefty tariffs and high taxes, the Bedouin "Easta bigger piece of the cake, demanding more privileges from the king, and, in doing so, they have grown fearless about defying him."
Furthermore, the Bedouin have a tradition of pragmatic flexibility, freely trading loyalty according to interests such as who can offer the best rewards.
Zahran writes that essentially, "the Jordanian regime is now detested not only by the Palestinians but also by the Bedouins, who have called for a constitutional monarchy in which the king hands his powers to them." According to Zahran, it is the Bedouins who dominate Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood.
Zahran explains how in 2008, the monarchy enacted a discriminatory electoral law through which it strategically empowered the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). By empowering the MB, Abdullah created a platform upon which he could appeal to the US

it claims to be, and it seems that both the Muslim Brotherhood and the regime don't want the Palestinian majority to come to power. From the king's point of view, it would mean the end of his kingdom. From the Muslim Brotherhood's point of view, it would present Palestinians everywhere with 'the alternative homeland' -- i.e., the 'Jordan is Palestine' option is 'a threat' to their attempts to destroy Israel [through 'right of return']."

In his column, entitled, "Why Turkey Will Never Join the EU" (NRO, 29 Sept 2012), McCarthy has a lot to say about Turkey, Islam and Europe that is of critical importance. I have long shared his view. It is a position that has frequently put me at odds with European evangelicals.
McCarthy opens with these words: "When Recep Tayyip Erdogan became prime minister of Turkey, it was anything but clear that he would last more than a few months. The military, the constitutional guardian of Atatürk's secular order,

had killed the Islamist administration of Erdogan's mentor, Necmettin Erbakan, only a few years earlier. At the time, Erdogan was jailed for several months as a seditionist. Though he was nonetheless permitted to assume the prime minister's office in 2003 after leading his Islamist party to victory, the man who famously proclaimed 'I am a servant of sharia' still aroused great suspicion.
"To survive and thrive, Erdogan would have to find ways to erode and nullify his Kemalist opponents. Thanks to Europe, he had cards to play."
As McCarthy notes, Turkish integration into the West had long been a "Kemalist dream". Erdogan, however, knows the truth: European leaders will never accept Turkey into the European Union (EU).
Terrified of being accused of Islamophobia, European elites have opened their arms to Turkeywhile setting up a process -- a series of hoops through which Turkey must jump -- the end result of which will be EU-Integration. Knowing Turkey will never achieve EU-integration -- and not caring, because he doesn't actually want it -- Erdogan is masterfully exploiting the situation to advance his own agenda: the Islamisation of Turkey.
"For", writes McCarthy, "among the steps Turkey must theoretically climb on the ladder to Euro-worthiness are religious liberty, the separation of religion and the state, and civilian control of the military. As Erdogan saw, the EU-integration process was the surest way to cow the generals into accepting elected Islamists and to break secularist constraints on Islamic supremacism."
McCarthy describes Islam as "totalitarianism packaged as 'religion'". I likewise have described Islam as totalitarianism concealed under

Jake remembers when he was still an innocent kid, just waiting for something exciting to happen in the summer between elementary school and junior high school. The excitement was Malia, who just moved in to the house across the street.
This is Jake’s story. He and his closest friends, Charlie, Beth, and Emma, have been together from the beginning as toddlers, until Malia joined their group that summer. Their summer began with the metamorphosis of their playhouse into The Fort. This special place holds their deepest and darkest secrets, from childhood to adulthood. Growing and experiencing countless adventures through junior high and high school, they returned to The Fort on graduation night to say good-bye to each other, to The Fort, and to their childhood.

R. at 68. He served in the Air National Guard from July 1976 to December 1992. R. at 2. His unit
was activated to participate in the Gulf War, in which he served from January 1991 to November
1991. R. at 87-89, 92. As of the time when the record on appeal (ROA) was filed, the veteran had
been awarded service connection for residuals of a left-thumb injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, and
hemorrhoids, with a combined disability rating of 10% effective February 12, 1992. R. at 407-10.

September 17, 1970, immediately prior to his actual discharge from service, indicated that there had
"been no change" in his medical condition since the June 1970 separation examination. R. at 61.
According to the veteran's March 1994 sworn testimony to the RO, he enrolled in the
Columbus, Ohio, police academy in 1971 following his 1970 discharge, and experienced knee
problems during his training in March 1971. R. at 271. However, he was still deemed to have been
suitable for the job of police officer. Ibid. While directing traffic in November 1977, he was struck
by a car and suffered, interalia, a right-knee injury. R. at 73, 84. A private medical record, dated
February 1978, diagnosed him as having acute tendinitis of the right knee and ruled out internal
derangement of the right knee. R. at 70. The examining physician noted that the veteran's x-rays
were negative for a fracture or dislocation. He opined that the veteran would be able to "resume
regular duties" in approximately one month. Ibid.
In February 1992, following his Gulf War service, the veteran filed a claim for VA
service-connected compensation for a disability of the right knee. R. at 94-97. The RO then
obtained a March 14, 1990, letter (written to an attorney representing the veteran) from a private
physician, Dr. Unverferth, who indicated that he had treated the veteran in June

1989 for "the
continued complaint of pain and swelling in his right knee." R. at 103. Dr. Unverferth stated:
Past history is significant in that Stephen McManaway has had numerous injuries to
his right knee. These injuries have necessitated two prior arthroscopic surgeries by
other surgeons, and then I performed an arthroscopic surgical procedure on
August 29, 1988. At that time, we found a very significant traumatic chondral flap
off the posterior patellar surface. This, I felt, was a direct result of a direct blow that
hehad received to the anterior aspect of his knee in an auto accident.
Ibid.
Also in connection with the veteran's February 1992 claim, the RO obtained the veteran's Air
National Guard service medical records (GSMRs). In a July 1976 medical history provided by the

veteran upon his enlistment in the Air National Guard, he checked the "NO" box as to whether he
had then or had ever had a "'[t]rick' or locked knee".

Feel like giving it a try? Check out our recipes for making tahini and black tahini.
Where It's Found
Tahini is most closely associated with the eastern Mediterranean, particularly the Levant, Egypt, and Turkey. But it has a presence throughout the wider Middle East, the Caucasus, Northern Africa, and the Balkans. It's actually thought that tahini has its origins in the area around present-day Iran, where it's known as ardeh. The Ottomans are also credited with spreading sesame throughout their empire and popularizing tahini as an ingredient in sesame halvah.

just plain awkward, appearances.
From revealing past drug use to choosing which
sister is the worst-dressed to going completely
silent mid-conversation, here are some of
the wildest Kardashian interviews ever.
It's no secret that Kim Kardashian is pretty
much a straight edge.
As the most famous of the KarJenner tribe,
she knows she has a particular image to maintain.
According to a source cited by People in 2018,
"Kim definitely had her years of partying,
especially around the time she was friends
with Paris [Hilton]…Her life is completely
different now."

of the KarJenner sisters threw on a blonde
wig, prosthetic nose, and news reporter garb.
While younger sis Khloé Kardashian talked
in her ear and instructed her on what to say,
Kourtney brazenly chatted people up.
The best part?
It actually worked.
Just ahead of the 10-year anniversary of Keeping
Up with the Kardashians, the reality TV star
asked people things like:
"Can you believe those whores have lasted
for ten years?"
After one unsuspecting interviewee revealed
he'd watched the show but, quote, "not on
purpose," Khloé immediately jumped in to
tell her sister to respond with,
"They're f----ing overrated.
Okay?
Let's keep it real."
"Okay, yeah."
Only one die-hard fan recognized the Keeping
Up With The Kardashians starlet and jumped
in to hug her, while the rest had no idea.
Well done, Kourtney!
In 2016, Kim Kardashian was bound and held
at gunpoint during a robbery in her Paris
hotel room, accordinginterrupted the
interview at that moment.
Kruger explained to KIIS FM's Hughesy & Kate,
"I think someone in our Channel Nine bureau
[in Los Angeles] actually tried to stop this
person from barging into the room because
it was a live interview.
I get the feeling that someone's going to
be fired as a result because there was a little
bit of argy-bargy in the studio."
Looking back, 2011 was a different time for
the Kardashian family.
They were still gearing up for the worldwide
media domination that would subsequently follow,
and had a clothing collection sold at Sears
of all places.
While appearing on Good Day Philadelphia to
promote their fashion line, Kim and Kourtney
Kardashian were met with some surprisingly
unprofessional reporters.

and the sisters signed off, reporter Mike

Even the old standbys demand a twist.
"They'll want 'Mom,' but let's say Mom sewed," Cox said. "They'll want a sewing theme with needles and thread and bobbins and stuff like that. If it's a Marine tattoo or a military tattoo, they'll want the names of the buddies they lost or where they served."
At AAA, the term "tattoo artist" means just that. The people who put the ink on the customer's skin are, more and more, the people who have designed the image they're working with.
Cox himself, a nativeof Lubbock, Texas, has a degree in art with an emphasis on painting from Texas Tech. He had a tattoo shop of his own there before he decided Lubbock wasn't the place for him. He'd enjoyed living in New Orleans for a year when his father was called there on business, so Louisiana seemed like a good fit. Then a school friend who had moved to Acadiana urged him to move here.
So Cox headed for Lafayette in 1996. He worked in a corner of the old Euphoria novelty store on West Congress for a while before opening his own shop on Sterling Street. Then he moved again to a building across from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus. The building had been a dentist's office, a Domino's

Tubularised preputial island flap repairs achieved respectability in the hands of Asopa during the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s that one-stage repairs gained universal acceptance, largely due to the persuasive advocacy of John Duckett in the United States. It then appeared that hypospadias surgery was at last reaching its evolutionary end-stage, with the prospect of reliably correcting almost any deformity in just one operative intervention and furthermore achieving the goal of a meatus on the apex of the glans. It is not surprising therefore that the old, staged 'ventralising' repairs, which required more hospitalisation and achieved a less complete correction, rapidly slipped into obsolescence.
PROBLEMS WITH 1980S ONE-STAGE REPAIRS {#sec1-2}
=====================================
Like the majority of surgeons in the early 1980s, the author was initially seducedlonger is the follow-up, the more problems and concerns that come to light. Given an aggressive early discharge policy, little or no follow-up and perhaps a high threshold for re-intervention, the low re-operation statistics doubtless painted an unduly flattering picture of what was being achieved. This is evidenced by the fact that John Duckett himself eventually stopped advocating his ubiquitous, eponymous repair in favour of less problematic onlay island flaps. However, even the safer onlay flap repair was not without its problems, with fistula rates of up to 20% quoted by recognised experts working in internationally renowned institutions.\[[@CIT3]\]
During the Duckett era, criticisms about cosmetic shortcomings, in particular concerning poor meatal shape, were dismissed as being insignificant. Although it is widely recognised that children are far more tolerant of

Formal degloving of the skin envelope was in most cases deferred until the second stage, unless chordee correction was proving to be unduly problematic and it was clear that ventral skin tethering was a contributory factor. Skin degloving at the second stage released any remaining ventral tethering and if despite this degloving there was still any residual chordee on saline erection testing, then at that point a dorsal Nesbit was undertaken before proceeding to the urethroplasty. Deferring full circumference degloving (± Nesbit) until the second stage rather than doing it at the first stage meant that one was dealing with virgin tissue planes on the dorsum ofsome way off.

"I am not sure [about a future in MLS]," Lampard told reporters. "I have another year on my contract at Chelsea and we have a big season ahead of us with the Super Cup and the Club World Cup in December.
"It's up to Chelsea to speak with me about my future and at that time, I'll speak with them.
"I wouldn't rule anything out at the moment."
Speculation suggests that both New York Red Bulls and Los Angeles Galaxy could compete for Lampard's services should he decide to join MLS.
LA would likely need to open up a Designated Player (DP) spot in order to fit the kind of salary Lampard would demand under the MLS cap, with David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane currently occupying Galaxy's three slots.
The RedBulls have also been relatively quiet on the DP transfer front this season, with only Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez boasting that status, and it is believed the team is holding out for the right option instead of throwing money at a big-name player.
New York's head coach Hans Backe and sporting director Erik Soler have both admitted that the club is looking for an attacking midfielder.
Still, Lampard made it clear that he didn't have a preference toward any MLS club. The Chelsea vice captain smiled when asked if there was any MLS team in particular that he'd like to join, stating, "No."
If Lampard joins MLS, he could be one of the most prolific midfield players to join the North American league. The 34-year-old has averaged over 12 goals

Amazon and Walmart will participate in a Department of Agriculture (USDA) pilot program to allow food stamp recipients to shop for groceries online, according to the agency.
The two-year New York pilot program will allow some of the state’s 2.7 million Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to order groceries online.
Amazon and grocery chain ShopRite plan to cover recipients in the New York City area while Walmart will cover parts of the upstate region, according to the USDA. The 2014 farm bill called for the department to test online purchasing for SNAP recipients.

The program will expand throughout the state and will eventually cover Alabama, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington, according to the department.

The questionnaire was divided into six sections A--E. It was distributed to sampled respondents on the day of data collection in the selected communities, and the filled questionnaire was retrieved immediately.

from the World Bank study of primary health care centres in four states in Nigeria. In that study, Bauchi and Kaduna residents were the least satisfied states with availability of equipment, supply of drugs and waiting times, among others ([@R5]). This finding is similar with the study in South Africa where the majority of the respondents were satisfied with the services offered at the facilities ([@R6]).
Factors influencing the utilization of primary health care services after adjusting the crude odd ratios shows that availability of trained staff, attitude of staff, waiting times at the health centre and distance from the health facility were the major factors. This finding is similar to previous studies ([@R14],[@R15]).

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) President Ingrid Newkirk, who donated 15 veggie pizzas, commented that "Workman's act was selfless, and kindness to all living beings is a virtue." Marvin Champion, an employee of Nashville's Rescue Mission, remarked "I used to be homeless, so I know how rough it gets. I seen some bad times – not having enough food, the cupboards are bare.

After the presentation of evidence at trial had begun, one of the jurors selected to sit on the case attempted to bring a knife into the courthouse and was stopped at the metal detector by a court marshal. When the marshal confronted him about it, the juror "[gave] her a hard time...." After the testimony of the state's third witness, the matter regarding the juror came to the attention of the trial court, which questioned the juror about it. While admitting that the marshal was just "doing her job," the juror nevertheless described the marshal as "very vicious," said that he "resented [the] authority" ofyear.

It's said that 5% of all their contracts is paid to head office for using their brand name: the Guardian tried to check this, but was told it was "commercially confidential" – so much for transparency in the new NHS.
The perverse effect of competition is already emerging. Bournemouth and Poole are smallish district general hospitals needing to merge to share services and stay solvent. But their overseer, Monitor, has the new duty to "prevent anti-competitive behaviour". Monitor say the hospitals should be competing for patients, so they referred the merger to the Office of Fair Trading – unknown in the NHS.

Derek Fisher poses for a picture during his introductory news conference as head coach of the Knicks at the team's practice facility in Greenburgh, N.Y., on June 10, 2014. Photo Credit: AP
GREENBURGH, N.Y. - This was the day Derek Fisher had been preparing for since he was 6 years old, and he made a strong first impression.
Introduced at a news conference Tuesday morning, Fisher spoke confidently about the Knicks' future with him at the helm, saying his goal is to "re-establish the championship culture that exists in this organization and this city."
Latest Knicks stories
Knicks president Phil Jackson tabbed a 39-year-old who has no experience as a coach. But although Fisher is only 10 days removed from his last game as a player with the Thunder, he scoffed atwith Fisher the idea of one day becoming an NBA coach, Jackson turned his attention to his former Lakers point guard shortly after his first choice, Steve Kerr, last month chose to stay on the West Coast to become the Warriors' coach.
"I like the fact he's current with the players," Jackson said. "This is a generation that's a little different than the one I grew up with."
Fisher acknowledged that his strong personal ties to Jackson sped up his coaching clock, saying he might have attempted to play another season in the NBA or taken a year off if Jackson had not been in this position and seeking a coach.
But the Knicks weren't the only team intrigued by Fisher. He said the Lakers also recently reached out to "informally"

Lari remembers his fame as a hacker rose early in his freshman year, starting one night before Christmas in 1993. He was chatting with a girl from Illinois, but he lost the connection. He was also in a hurry, as he had to catch a train to visit his parents. Lari tried repeatedly but couldn’t connect back to the chat. He feared he would soon disappoint the girl. “I didn’t know whether she was still waiting for me or not,” he recalls. “So in that frenzy, I hacked her university’s server to see if she was still active.”

Thousands of police and soldiers surrounded the site before dawn on Thursday, blocking the roads leading to and from the temple and putting the area under military control.
"We are sealing off the temple and after that we will search all the buildings," said ColPaisit Wongmaung, head of the Department of Special Investigations (DSI).
"If [the abbot] thinks he is innocent he should surrender and enter [a] judicial process," he said.
A spokesman for the temple said he did not know if Phra Dhammajayo was inside.
"I don't know his whereabouts - I haven't seen him in about nine months," AFP quoted spokesman Phra Sanitwong Wutthiwangso as saying.
There have been several failed attempts to persuade the former abbot to leave the temple, which is home to a charismatic Buddhist sect.
It has more than a million followers but has been criticised for commercialising Buddhism.
There is also speculation that the temple has links to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Both his government and one led by his sister were ousted by military coups in 2006 and 2014.

Kanzleramt (TV series)
Kanzleramt (engl: "Chancellery") is a German television series based on the template of the American TV series The West Wing.
It is primarily set in the office of fictional Chancellor of Germany Andreas Weyer (Klaus J. Behrendt), telling stories about the German head of government's political career and private life as a widower and father of a teenage daughter.
"Chancellery is entertaining, exciting and interesting," said ex- chancellor Friedrich Bohl (CDU). Compared with the multi-award winning US template The West Wing - In the center of power Chancellery appeared to most critics but rather shallow and trivial. It was written by the former speechwriter of German statesman Willy Brandt, Martin E. Süskind, but they deemed unrealistic.

The volcano of Mount Ontake (3067 m) in Nagano Prefecture, Japan erupted on 27 September 2014. Fifty-eight people died, five went missing, and many people were injured while climbing. The Japan Self-Defense Forces, the local police, and the fire departments were called in as a disaster-support task force. The search activities were extremely difficult due to the snow level, the mud of ashes, and also the risk of secondary disaster(s). Although only a few members of the disaster-support task force had special mountain equipment or rescue skills for high-altitude sites, none of the members of the task force died or was hurt by the mountain's volcanic gas, but some developed altitude sickness and/or hypothermia \[[@B1-ijerph-17-03134]\].

Appellant and his wife provided baby-sitting services for the four-year-old victim, A.B., and a number of other children. A.B.'s mother suspected that A.B. may have been sexually abused by appellant, and on April 26, 1989 she took A.B. to the Independence, Missouri Police Department to be interviewed by Detective Raymond Rast. Using anatomically correct dolls, A.B. was able to describe what happened to her, and indicated that "Vince" had placed his mouth on her vaginal area.
When questioned by Detective Rast, appellant initially denied any contact with the victim. Then, he stated that he had accidentally touched A.B.'s vagina three or four times while playing with her. He also admitted to kissing A.B. on the mouth and on the stomach, and to biting her on theof literature, as the university has no fine arts department.

Riley, who rarely speaks on the record to news reporters, spewed fire with a preacher's passion. He started the news conference with a nod to the Twitter generation.
"You want to trend something? I'm pissed," Riley said.
He continued: "I think everybody needs to get a grip. Media, Heat players, organization, all of our fans. You gotta get a grip on greatness and on teams."
The big takeaway: Riley challenged James to stay with Wade and Bosh â?? both of whom indicated they want to remain with the Heat â?? and try to win more championships for Miami.

Five years after the sudden loss of his wife Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson admits that he still hasn't fully come to terms with her passing.
"[Her death] was never real. It still kind of isn't," Neeson, 61, told Anderson Cooper during a sit-down for 60 Minutes. "There's periods now in our New York residence when I hear the door opening -- especially the first couple of years -- anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I'm going to hear her."
Richardson died at the age of 45 following a skiing accident that left her brain dead.

On Thursday's Late Night, the 43-year-old host addressed the sexual harassment allegations against Lauer that led to his termination from the Today show. "We learned why Kathie Lee [Gifford] and Hoda [Kotb] drink," Meyers quipped, calling out the co-hosts of the final hour of Today, who often showcase wine and spirits during their segment.
Meyers also acknowledged reports that Lauer had a button under his desk at work that would allow him to remotely lock his office door. Showing a photoshopped image of Lauer sitting on a couch in a garage, he mused, "This is cool, his new office does too."
NBC/Late Night
Not letting it go, Meyers also had a message for "anyone who works in the button-installing business."
"Nobody wants a button under their desk for a non-evil reason," hethat Charlie Rose was ousted from CBS after he too was accused of sexual misconduct.
"So if you were wondering about where in the world is Matt Lauer," Fallon began, "he's probably at a bar with Charlie Rose."
As of Friday, Lauer had completely removed himself from all social media, though he was spotted out in East Hampton, New York, where his family resides. An eyewitness told ET that the TV personality appeared “sad and sheepish” and “did not look happy” as he exited his vehicle to briefly meet with criminal attorney Eddie Burke Jr.
It was the first time Lauer had been seen out since the allegations were made public.

to continue their discussion.
When defendant originally arrived at the station he was taken to a room adjoining a general office area containing the desks of Sitterud and 17 other investigating officers. Sitterud testified that interviews generally were not held in the outer area because of noise and distraction and because the various desks often contained sensitive information regarding cases under investigation. It was therefore not usual practice to allow witnesses or suspects to remain there or to perform interviews there. On the other hand, witnesses were frequently left in interview rooms where they would be available during an officer's field investigation or simply to accommodate an officer's schedule.
In regard to defendant, Sitterud testified he had several reasons for wishing him to wait in the interview room. Sitterud intendedto speak with other possible witnesses and wanted defendant accessible so that he could then correlate information received from others with defendant's recollection. Moreover, defendant was a janitor at the garage, and Sitterud did not wish him present when laboratory tests were performed both because he did not want extraneous people around and because defendant's resumption of his duties at the garage could have interfered with the investigation.
Sitterud therefore "asked [defendant] if he would wait for us at the office." (Italics added.) He told defendant he would be gone a "short time" and explained he was leaving for an appointment for which he was already late. Defendant was left with newspapers to read, and on his way out Sitterud informed Lieutenant Green that defendant was a witness and

Rice got the other one. "I thought the song was just very boring, and I thought it sounded very old fashioned," comedian and radio host Ayesha Hazarika told BBC Radio 5 Live. "He was like a wee guy who lost his boy band."
And what is bigger than us precisely? Its lyrics are pretty generic, whereas The Netherlands' victor Duncan Laurence was inspired to write his winning song, Arcade, about a loved one who died young. The previous year, Netta won with another song that meant a lot to her - albeit in a very different way.

YouTuber and Eurovision fan Alesia Michelle said it helps if an artist has a personal connection to their song. "At the end of the day that's what makes the difference," she told 5 Live.
"People at home are going to know you're truly connected to the song you're singing, and I think that's truly why Duncan ended up winning - because it wasn't just a good pop song, it wasn't [just] something that was catchy, it was something that truly felt authentic to him and it was a story he could get on the stage and sell because it was real to him."
UK jury spokesman Rylan Clark-Neal told the BBC's Eurovision Calling podcast that Rice gave "one of the best vocals in the competition",

reported three men, two Saudis and a Yemeni, had committed suicide on 10 June 2006. Government accounts, including an NCIS report released with redactions in August 2008, have been questioned by the press, the detainees' families, the Saudi government, former detainees, and human rights groups.[citation needed]
The cell in which David Hicks, an Australian Guantanamo Bay prisoner, was detained. Inset is the prisoners' reading room.
In July 2005, 242 detainees were moved out of Guantanamo, including 173 who were released without charge. 69 prisoners were transferred to the custody of governments of other countries, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.[32]
By May 2011, 600 detainees had been released.[27] Most of the men have been released without charges or transferred to facilities in their home countries. According to former U.S. presidentJimmy Carter, about half have been cleared for release, yet have little prospect of ever obtaining their freedom.[34]
As of June 2013, 46 detainees (in addition to 2 who were deceased) were designated to be detained indefinitely, because the government said the prisoners were too dangerous to transfer and there was insufficient admissible evidence to try them.[35]
In September 2006, President Bush announced that fourteen "high-value detainees" were to be transferred to military custody of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp from civilian custody by the CIA. He admitted that these suspects had been held in CIA secret prisons overseas, known as black sites. These people include Khalid Sheik Mohammed, believed to be the No. 3 Al-Qaeda leader before he was captured in Pakistan in 2003; Ramzi Bin Al-Shibh, an alleged

the world that would treat people who were determined to kill Americans the way we're treating these people. They're living in the tropics. They're well fed. They've got everything they could possibly want."[134]
The United States government, through the State Department, makes periodic reports to the United Nations Committee Against Torture. In October 2005, the report covered pretrial detention of suspects in the "War on Terrorism", including those held in Guantánamo Bay. This Periodic Report is significant as the first official response of the U.S. government to allegations that prisoners are mistreated in Guantánamo Bay. The report denies the allegations but describes in detail several instances of misconduct, which did not rise to the level of "substantial abuse," as well as the training and punishments given to the perpetrators.[citationneeded]
Writing in the New York Times on 24 June 2012, former President Jimmy Carter criticized the methods used to obtain confessions: "...some of the few being tried (only in military courts) have been tortured by waterboarding more than 100 times or intimidated with semiautomatic weapons, power drills or threats to sexually assault their mothers. These facts cannot be used as a defense by the accused, because the government claims they occurred under the cover of "national security".[34]
On 2 July 2008 the New York Times revealed that the U.S. military trainers who came to Guantánamo Bay in December 2002 had based an entire interrogation class on a chart copied directly from a 1957 Air Force study of "Chinese Communist" interrogation methodology (commonly referred to as 'brainwashing') that the United

the techniques outlined by the chart are commonly referred to as "Biderman's Principles" and within the intelligence community it has come to be known as "Biderman’s Chart of Coercion". The chart is also often used by anti-cult web sites to describe how religious cults control their members.[137]
The article was motivated by the need for the United States to deal with prominent confessions of war crimes obtained by Chinese interrogators during the Korean War. It as alleged at the time that American prisoners of war who had confessed had been "brainwashed". The allegation was taken seriously by the American military and it led them to develop a training program to counter the use of harsh methods used by an enemy interrogator. Almost all U.S. military personnel now receive Survival,Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training, where they learn to resist interrogation. Central to this training program is the theoretical model of the "communist" interrogation methodology as presented by Mr. Biderman. In 2002, this training program was adopted as a source of interrogation techniques to be used in the newly declared "War on Terror".[137] When it was adopted for use at the Guantánamo detainment and interrogation facility the only change that was made to Biderman's Chart of Coercion was to change the title (originally called "Communist Coercive Methods for Eliciting Individual Compliance"). The training document instructing on the use of these "coercive" methods was made public at a United States Senate Armed Services Committee hearing (17 June 2008) investigating how such tactics came to be employed.

out of a concern for the detainees' privacy, although Judge Rakoff had already dismissed this argument.[173][174][175]
French judge Jean-Claude Kross 27 September 2006, postponed a verdict in the trial of six former Guantánamo Bay detainees accused of attending combat training at an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan, saying the court needs more information on French intelligence missions to Guantánamo. Defense lawyers for the six men, all French nationals, accuse the French government of colluding with U.S. authorities over their detentions; they say the government seeks to use inadmissible evidence, as it was obtained through secret service interviews with the detainees without their lawyers present. Kross scheduled new hearings for 2 May 2007, calling the former head of counterterrorism at the French Direction de la surveillance du territoire intelligence agencyseek freedom from the Guantánamo Bay prison. In some cases, they testified by video from the U.S. naval base in Cuba. Fifteen Federal judges have found the government's evidence against 30 detainees wanting and ordered their release. That number was expected to rise as the judges were scheduled to hear challenges from dozens more prisoners.[178][dated info]
In the summer of 2012, the government instituted a new protocol for civilian attorneys representing Guantanamo prisoners. It required lawyers to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, in which they agreed to certain restrictions, in order to continue to see their clients.[179] For years, a federal court order has governed lawyers' access to their detainee clients and classified information related to their capture and confinement. Government lawyers had sought court approval to replace the

evidence of intentional harm, and the detainees complained of "abusive interrogation methods that are consistent with torture as defined by the UN Convention Against Torture as well as the more restrictive US definition of torture that was operational at the time".[192]
The group Physicians for Human Rights has claimed that health professionals were active participants in the development and implementation of the interrogation sessions, and monitored prisoners to determine the effectiveness of the methods used, a possible violation of the Nuremberg Code, which bans human experimentation on prisoners.[193]
The American Bar Association announced that: "In response to the unprecedented attacks of September 11, on November 13, 2001, the President announced that certain non-citizens [of the US] would be subject to detention and trial by military authorities. The order provides thatnon-citizens whom the government deems to be, or to have been, members of the al Qaida organization or to have engaged in, aided or abetted, or conspired to commit acts of international terrorism that have caused, threaten to cause, or have as their aim to cause, injury to or adverse effects on the United States or its citizens, or to have knowingly harbored such individuals, are subject to detention by military authorities and trial before a military commission."[194]
On 1 November 2008, David McFadden of the Associated Press stated the 100 tents erected to hold lawyers, reporters and observers were practically deserted when he and two other reporters covered the military commission for Ali Hamza al-Bahlul in late October 2008.[199]

She made a record of the meeting in a September 8 memorandum, noting that on September 6 she met with Primestar's general manager (Eric Behre) and Jackson and informed Jackson in confidence that Primestar was relocating. The memorandum also noted that "[i]t was determined as a result of this meeting that Willie [Jackson] fit the Installer/Tech 2 job description and salary range and he was rehired on a part-time basis until the Primestar office officially closed at which time he would become a full-time employee."

Rejecting this evidence, the hearing officer first focused on the Employee Change Request Turnaround Document (turnaround form) that Cable prepared in connection with Jackson's return. JA 18A. She noted that the turnaround form indicated an "Effective Date" of September 22 and that Slacik had testified that personnel actions were only proposals until approved by either Joan Judge, Paragon Northeast's Human Resources Director, or Paragon Northeast's President, Robert Merlese.4 Id. at 18A. But the hearing officer's reliance on the turnaround form ignored the relationship that existed between Primestar and Cable. First, both were part of the Paragon Northeast and, until its relocation, Primestar shared office and warehouse facilities with Cable. Id. at 13A.

The hearing officer also noted Jackson's testimony that management told him about Primestar's relocating during an October 13 employee meeting7 as well as Jackson's failure to testify, when he was asked: "[D]id Ms. Slacik tell you why she was asking you to come back to [Cable]?" JA 43, that he intended to become a fulltime Cable employee once Primestar relocated. But the Union never asked Slacik why she met with Jackson. Instead the hearing officer concluded that Primestar's relocation was Slacik's only reason for meeting with Jackson based merely on Cable's question to Slacik on direct examination that she explain her September 8before the election and unit work accounted for at least thirty per cent of his time in two of the three weeks between the eligibility date and the election. The Board has identified no case in which an employee worked as high a percentage of hours in the bargaining unit in the weeks before the election date and yet was denied voting rights. In the absence of such precedent, we believe this work level demonstrates a sufficient interest in the bargaining unit's conditions of employment to warrant his inclusion in the unit, especially in light of the surrounding circumstances. First, Jackson began unit work before the eligibility date was set. Second, Jackson's hours increased during the relevant time period as Jackson transferred parttime into

summer during which high concentrations of Chl-a accumulated more in the Maumee River outlet area, while in the fall they span much wider area on the west and south side of the lake. These findings are consistent with Wayne and Stump \[[@pone.0179622.ref046]\], who observed similar spatial patterns of 13-year average Cyanobacterial Index concentration in western Lake Erie during summer and fall seasons. It is worthwhile to note that high concentrations of Chl-a were found near the outlet area of the Maumee River and Sandusky Bay and the south near shore area had a higher concentration than the north. This was likely due to the high nutrient loadings from the Maumee and Sandusky Rivers and the long residence time induced by low circulation in the western and southern basin,but the Saints struck again through Ryan Bertrand shortly before half time to double their lead going into the break. The Gunners began the second half the stronger side, but the Saints later responded and came close to scoring a third goal, with Boufal and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg coming close late on.

As you well know, the term "resurgence" does not apply to church growth in the SBC. It applies to the efforts of those who led it in activating a segment of churches and individuals within the SBC who felt shut out of convention leadership by the exclusive group that had controlled it for years. It was viewed as a resurgence, because while the SBC as a whole was conservative theologically and socially, the leadership that had been elected, going back to the early 60's, didn't reflect those views, and left many conservatives disgruntled and disinterested. The resurgence got them active in the denomination again. In reality, it couldn't have been a "takeover," since you can't "take over" something in which you are already entitled full participation.

beauty is a symptom of her disorder, of her soullessness." Because it has no flaw, her face is as falsely human as the mask The Beast in "The Tiger's Bride" wears. Only when she has transformed and consequently died does her face look "far older, less beautiful and so, for the first time, fully human." The reversal at the story's end confirms one last time that love cannot survive in the Countess's sleepwalking world of torment. Although she intends to suck the soldier's blood, he ends up tasting her blood when he kisses her wound. She transforms from a creature that bleeds others dry into a woman, 'a being that bleeds.' The act of spilling blood can be interpreted as loss of virginity as well as menstruation; theand every type of household, all over the world."
In a 2017 BuzzFeed profile, Gunn spoke about the abuse children at his Catholic school in the St. Louis, Missouri area suffered at the hands of priests. He said he was not targeted, but that the experience was damaging, in part because the adults in his life did not listen when he spoke out.

It was reviewed by a national patients\' committee in July 2009. The Clinical trial was registered to the French Safety Agency for Health Products (AFSSAPS, that is the Health Authority in France). Although this study does not assess health products, it was registered as biomedical research. The authorization was in agreement with the Article L. 1123-8 Code of Public Health and was obtained in February 2010.
This clinical trial was registered at AFSSAPS (2010-A00196-33). The project was approved by the local ethics committee (CPP Ouest II Angers) in April 2010.
The Study was registered in March 2012 on ClinicalTrials.gov; the registration number is NCT01545921.
The project received a grant so-called PHRC (Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique 2011) in 2011 from the French national cancer institute (INCa, Institut National du Cancer).

To beGeorge Stephanopoulos and Barbara Walters on Tuesday fawned over the "fun," loving marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama. Walters appeared on Good Morning America to promote the President's appearance on The View.
Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative, hyped Walters' "lighter stuff." He gushed, "The President seemed to mix politics and fun, when he talked about coaching his daughter's basketball team."
Walters was positively impressed with the couple: "He's funny. She says she's funnier. But he's very relaxed with her." [MP3 audio here.]
Stephanopoulos marveled, "The President seemed, I have to say, in much better humor than if you watch the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday night."
The two journalists giddily recounted the birthday gifts Obama gave the View host. Walters gossiped, "He brought me a whole basket full. Real napkins. M&Ms."
