of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Renowned as a champion for the anti-colonial cause, Mugabe is also viewed as authoritarian responsible for Zimbabwe''s problematic human rights record and substantial economic decline. He has held power since internationally recognised independence in 1980: as head of government since 1980 and head of state since 1987.
The name "Zimbabwe" is based on a Shona term for Great Zimbabwe, an ancient ruined city in the country''s south-east whose remains are now a protected site. There are two theories on the origin of the word. Various sources hold that the word is derived from dzimba-dza-mabwe, translated from the Karanga dialect of Shona as "large houses of stone" (dzimba = plural of imba, "house"; mabwe = plural of bwe, "stone"). The Karanga-speaking Shonapeople are found around Great Zimbabwe in the modern-day province of Masvingo. Archaeologist Peter Garlake claims that "Zimbabwe" is a contracted form of dzimba-hwe which means "venerated houses" in the Zezuru dialect of Shona, and is usually applied to chiefs'' houses or graves.
Zimbabwe was formerly known as Southern Rhodesia (1898), Rhodesia (1965), and Zimbabwe Rhodesia (1979). The first recorded use of "Zimbabwe" as a term of national reference was in 1960, when it was coined by the black nationalist Michael Mawema, whose Zimbabwe National Party became the first to officially use the name in 1961. The term Rhodesia—derived from the surname of Cecil Rhodes, the primary instigator of white colonisation of the territory during the late 19th century—was perceived as inappropriate because of its colonial origin and connotations.

the precursor to the more impressive Shona civilisations that would dominate the region during the 13th to 15th centuries, evidenced by ruins at Great Zimbabwe, near Masvingo, and other smaller sites. The main archaeological site uses a unique dry stone architecture.
The Kingdom of Mapungubwe was the first in a series of sophisticated trade states developed in Zimbabwe by the time of the first European explorers from Portugal. They traded in gold, ivory and copper for cloth and glass.
From about 1300 until 1600, Mapungubwe was eclipsed by the Kingdom of Zimbabwe. This Shona state further refined and expanded upon Mapungubwe''s stone architecture, which survives to this day at the ruins of the kingdom''s capital of Great Zimbabwe. From c. 1450–1760, Zimbabwe gave way to the Kingdom of Mutapa. ThisShona state ruled much of the area that is known as Zimbabwe today, and parts of central Mozambique. It is known by many names including the Mutapa Empire, also known as Mwene Mutapa or Monomotapa as well as "Munhumutapa," and was renowned for its strategic trade routes with the Arabs and Portugal. Eventually, however, the Portuguese sought to monopolise this influence and began a series of wars which left the empire in near collapse in the early 17th century.
As a direct response to increased European presence in the interior, a new Shona state emerged, known as the Rozwi Empire. Relying on centuries of military, political and religious development, the Rozwi (meaning "destroyers") expelled the Portuguese from the Zimbabwean plateau by force of arms. They continued the stone building

Southern Rhodesia became a self-governing British colony in October 1923, subsequent to a 1922 referendum. Rhodesians of all races served on behalf of the United Kingdom during the two World Wars. Proportional to the white population, Southern Rhodesia contributed more per capita to both the First and Second World Wars than any other part of the Empire, including Britain itself.
In 1953, in the face of African opposition, Britain consolidated the two Rhodesias with Nyasaland (Malawi) in the ill-fated Central African Federation, which was essentially dominated by Southern Rhodesia. Growing African nationalism and general dissent, particularly in Nyasaland, persuaded Britain to dissolve the Union in 1963, forming three separate divisions. While multiracial democracy was finally introduced to Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, however, Southern Rhodesiansof European ancestry continued to enjoy minority rule.
With Zambian independence, Ian Smith''s Rhodesian Front (RF) dropped the designation "Southern" in 1964 and issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (commonly abbreviated to "UDI") from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965, intent on effectively repudiating the recently adopted British policy of "no independence before majority rule". It was the first such course taken by a British colony since the American declaration of 1776, which Smith and others indeed claimed provided a suitable precedent to their own actions.

country''s name was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia. The internal settlement left control of the police, security forces, civil service and judiciary in settler hands. It also reserved one-third of the seats in parliament for whites. On 12 June, the United States Senate voted to lift economic pressure on the former Rhodesia.
Following the fifth Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), held in Lusaka, Zambia from 1 to 7 August in 1979, the British government invited Muzorewa, Mugabe, and Nkomo to participate in a constitutional conference at Lancaster House. The purpose of the conference was to discuss and reach an agreement on the terms of an independence constitution, and provide for elections supervised under British authority allowing Zimbabwe Rhodesia to proceed to legal independence.
With Lord Carrington, Secretary of State forForeign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, in the chair, these discussions were mounted from 10 September to 15 December in 1979, producing a total of 47 plenary sessions. On 21 December 1979, delegations from every major interest represented reached the Lancaster House Agreement, effectively ending the guerilla war.
Post-Independence (1980–present) Main article: GukurahundiTrends in the Human Development Index of Zimbabwe, 1970–2010
During the elections of February 1980, Robert Mugabe and his ZANU secured a landslide victory. Opposition to what was perceived as a Shona takeover immediately erupted around Matabeleland. The Matabele unrest led to what has become known as ''Gukurahundi'' (Shona: "the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains") or the Matabeleland Massacres, which lasted from 1982 until 1985. It has been estimated that

total of 28 battalions. The brigade support units were composed almost entirely of specialists of the former Rhodesian Army, while unintegrated battalions of the Rhodesian African Rifles were assigned to the 1st, 3rd and 4th Brigades. The Fifth Brigade was formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1988 after the demonstration of mass brutality and murder during the brigade''s occupation of Matabeleland in what has become known as Gukurahundi (Shona: "the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains"), the campaign which finished off Mugabe''s liberation struggle. The Brigade had been reformed by 2006, with its commander, Brigadier-General John Mupande praising its "rich history".
Administrative divisions Main articles: Provinces of Zimbabwe, Districts of Zimbabwe and Wards of ZimbabweAdministrative divisions of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has a centralised government and isdivided into eight provinces and two cities with provincial status, for administrative purposes. Each province has a provincial capital from where official business is usually carried out.

The names of most of the provinces were generated from the Mashonaland and Matabeleland divide at the time of colonisation: Mashonaland was the territory occupied first by the British South Africa Company Pioneer Column and Matabeleland the territory conquered during the First Matabele War. This corresponds roughly to the precolonial territory of the Shona people and the Matabele people, although there are significant ethnic minorities in most provinces. Each province is headed by a Provincial Governor, appointed by the President. The provincial government is run by a Provincial Administrator, appointed by the Public Service

Other sports played in Zimbabwe are basketball, volleyball, netball, and water polo, as well as squash, motorsport, martial arts, chess, cycling, polocrosse, kayaking and horse racing. However, most of these sports don''t have international representatives but instead stay at a junior or national level.
Media Main article: Media of Zimbabwe
The media of Zimbabwe is now once again diverse, having come under tight restriction between 2002 and 2008 by the government during the growing economic and political crisis in the country. The Zimbabwean constitution promises freedom of the media and expression. Since the appointment of a new media and information minister in 2013 the media is currently facingless political interference and the supreme court has ruled some sections of the strict media laws as unconstitutional. In July 2009 the BBC and CNN were able to resume operations and report legally and openly from Zimbabwe. CNN welcomed the move. The Zimbabwe Ministry of Media, Information and Publicity stated that, "the Zimbabwe government never banned the BBC from carrying out lawful activities inside Zimbabwe". The BBC also welcomed the move saying, "we''re pleased at being able to operate openly in Zimbabwe once again".
In 2010 the Zimbabwe Media Commission was established by the inclusive, power-sharing government. In May 2010 the Commission licensed three new privately owned newspapers, including the previously banned Daily News, for publication. Reporters Without Borders described the decisions as a "major advance". In June 2010

of Scouting, and Frederick Russell Burnham, the American born Chief of Scouts for the British Army, first met and began their lifelong friendship. In mid-June 1896, during a scouting patrol in the Matobo Hills, Burnham began teaching Baden-Powell woodcraft. Baden-Powell and Burnham discussed the concept of a broad training programme in woodcraft for young men, rich in exploration, tracking, fieldcraft, and self-reliance. It was also during this time in the Matobo Hills that Baden-Powell first started to wear his signature campaign hat like the one worn by Burnham.
Scouting in the former Rhodesia and Nyasaland started in 1909 when the first Boy Scout troop was registered. Scouting grew quickly and in 1924 Rhodesia and Nyasaland sent a large contingent to the second World Scout Jamboree in Ermelunden, Denmark. In1959, Rhodesia hosted the Central African Jamboree at Ruwa. In 2009, Scouts celebrated 100 years of Scouting in Zimbabwe and hundreds of Scouts camped at Gordon Park, a Scout campground and training area, as part of these celebrations.
Besides scouting, there are also leadership, life skills and general knowledge courses and training experiences mainly for school children ranging from pre-school to final year high school students and some times those beyond High school. These courses and outings, are held at places like Lasting Impressions (Lasting Impressions ~Zimbabwe on YouTube), Far and Wide Zimbabwe (Far and wide.) and Chimanimani Outward Bound (Outwardbound Zimbabwe at the Wayback Machine (archived 16 June 2007)), Just to name a few.

and have been depicted on both the banknotes of Zimbabwe and the Rhodesian dollar banknotes. The ones found on the current notes of Zimbabwe, named the Banknote Rocks, are located in Epworth, approximately 9 miles (14 km) south east of Harare. There are many different formations of the rocks, incorporating single and paired columns of 3 or more rocks. These formations are a feature of south and east tropical Africa from northern South Africa northwards to Sudan. The most notable formations in Zimbabwe are located in the Matobo National Park in Matabeleland.
The National Anthem of Zimbabwe is "Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe" (Shona: "Simudzai Mureza wedu WeZimbabwe"; Northern Ndebele: "Kalibusiswe Ilizwe leZimbabwe"). It was introduced in March 1994 after a nation-wide competition to replace "Ishe Komborera Africa"as a distinctly Zimbabwean song. The winning entry was a song written by Professor Solomon Mutswairo and composed by Fred Changundega. It has been translated into all three of the main languages of Zimbabwe.

the spice trade network—to Fort St George (later to become Madras), Bombay (ceded by the Portuguese to Charles II of England in 1661 as dowry for Catherine de Braganza) and Sutanuti (which would merge with two other villages to form Calcutta).
Global struggles with France
Peace between England and the Netherlands in 1688 meant that the two countries entered the Nine Years' War as allies, but the conflict—waged in Europe and overseas between France, Spain and the Anglo-Dutch alliance—left the English a stronger colonial power than the Dutch, who were forced to devote a larger proportion of their military budget on the costly land war in Europe. The 18th century would see England (after 1707, Britain) rise to be the world's dominant colonial power, and France becoming its main rivalon the imperial stage.
The death of Charles II of Spain in 1700 and his bequeathal of Spain and its colonial empire to Philippe of Anjou, a grandson of the King of France, raised the prospect of the unification of France, Spain and their respective colonies, an unacceptable state of affairs for Britain and the other powers of Europe. In 1701, Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands sided with the Holy Roman Empire against Spain and France in the War of the Spanish Succession. The conflict, which France and Spain were to lose, lasted until 1714. At the concluding peace Treaty of Utrecht, Philip renounced his and his descendants' right to the French throne. Spain lost its empire in Europe, and though it kept its empire in the Americas and

the Philippines, it was irreversibly weakened as a power. The British Empire was territorially enlarged: from France, Britain gained Newfoundland and Acadia, and from Spain, Gibraltar and Minorca. Gibraltar, which is still a British overseas territory to this day, became a critical naval base and allowed Britain to control the Atlantic entry and exit point to the Mediterranean. Minorca was returned to Spain at the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, after changing hands twice. Spain also ceded the rights to the lucrative asiento (permission to sell slaves in Spanish America) to Britain.
The Seven Years' War, which began in 1756, was the first war waged on a global scale, fought in Europe, India, North America, the Caribbean, the Philippines and coastal Africa. The signing of the Treaty of Paris(1763) had important consequences for Britain and its empire. In North America, France's future as a colonial power there was effectively ended with the ceding of New France to Britain (leaving a sizeable French-speaking population under British control) and Louisiana to Spain. Spain ceded Florida to Britain. In India, the Carnatic War had left France still in control of its enclaves but with military restrictions and an obligation to support British client states, effectively leaving the future of India to Britain. The British victory over France in the Seven Years' War therefore left Britain as the world's dominant colonial power.

Weiss sternly replied, "Stop denying it, please! Pyrrha's dead!" She then fell to her knees and sobbed.
Blake got up and said, "I'll call Jaune." She seemed to possess no emotion, but as she turned away, a tear fell from her right eye. She then walked to a phone and dialed Jaune's cell phone number.

Kimberly Anne recalls her embarrassing incident with Adele
Kimberly Anne accidentally phoned Adele once.
The London-born singer - who has a new single out called 'Bury You There' - went to the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology at the same time as chart-topping stars Jessie J and Adele, whom she studied alongside in music classes.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Kimberly recalled: "I accidentally rang Adele a year before she got famous. I was like 'Oh sorry I've got the wrong person' - we weren't best friends or anything but she was a really lovely girl, who was down to earth and always scribbling something in her notebook ... I'm sure she's changed her number since then."
Kimberly says she isn't surprised by Adele's heightened fame, despite her self-imposed five-yearAmerica's prisons are dangerously overcrowded, and the war on drugs is mainly to blame.
Over 50 percent of inmates currently in federal prison are there for drug offenses, according to an infographic recently released by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (see chart below). That percentage has risen fairly consistently over decades, all the way from 16 percent in 1970.
The second-largest category, immigration-related crimes, accounts for 10.6 percent of inmates. This means that people convicted of two broad categories of nonviolent crimes -- drugs and immigration -- make up over 60 percent of the U.S. prison population.

Story highlights Evacuations resume in Syrian towns of Al-Fu'ah, Kafraya, and Zabadani
Saturday's bombing hit people who were leaving their towns
The attack killed 126 people, including 68 children, monitoring group says
(CNN) The evacuation of civilians and rebels from several besieged Syrian towns resumed on Wednesday, Syrian state media and a monitoring group reported.
The population swaps between opposition and regime-held areas had been halted after a suicide bombing ripped through a convoy of buses Saturday , killing 126 people, including 68 children, who were being evacuated as part of the same deal.
Women and children look out from a bus window.
On Wednesday morning, a convoy of buses rolled out of the pro-regime Shia villages of Al-Fu'ah and Kafraya, which have been under crippling siege for more than two years.
At least 109of those killed in the suicide blast on Saturday were evacuees from the same government-held towns.

"At dawn today, at least 45 buses carrying about 3,000 people from Al-Fu'ah and Kafraya villages, in the northern and eastern suburbs of Idlib, left the two towns in the direction of the city of Aleppo, which is under the control of the [Syrian] regime," Rami Abdul Rahman, the head of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told CNN. "Among the evacuees are about 700 pro-Syrian regime fighters."

"When the country faced the danger of poverty, Punjab was ahead in making contributions toward the Green Revolution.Punjab then faced the (Indo-Pak) 1971 war bravely. There was no such problem that Punjab did not face," Jaitley said.
During the Emergency, when "democracy was in danger", the biggest 'Satyagraha' was done by SAD and Jan Sangh, he claimed. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has given heritage status to Jallianwala Bagh and Amritsar. The city was also selected under the Smart City Mission, the Union Minister said. Congress and its domination is getting weaker, he claimed, adding there is a new confidence in India under the leadership ofModi.
"India is now the fastest growing economy. Today no one can play mischief with us. The whole world knows that we have different kind of government," Jaitley claimed. "If an enemy makes any attempt at the border or if anyone conspires against India, it will get the same reply as it has been getting for the last two-months," he said.
He lauded the Badals for standing like a "rock" when Punjab faced turbulent times during the Emergency, the anti-Sikh riots and terrorism.

Russia announced on Monday that it would start construction this year on a second nuclear plant in Iran, according to regional reports.
Russia's Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation made the announcement early on Monday, stating that it will begin building a second nuclear power plant in Iran’s southern region later this year, according to Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency.
Meanwhile, an earthquake struck Monday morning near the site of Iran’s current nuclear power plant in Bushehr, near where the second plant will be built.
Iranian media outlets reported the quake as hitting a 4.4 magnitude with no injuries occurring as a result. Iran’s southern region is prone to such incidents.
Iranian officials announced in late 2014 that it had already begun the initial stages of construction on at least two nuclear plantsin the region. In November, Tehran finalized a deal with Russia to aid in the construction of these plants.
"We have entered the executive phase of the construction of these two nuclear power plants based on the contract signed between Tehran and Moscow in March to construct the plants," Behrouz Kamalvandi, deputy chief of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, was quoted as saying at the time.
The construction of these new plants is not barred under the terms of a current agreement between Iran and Western powers to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
"In general, the construction of light water nuclear reactors is not prohibited by U.N. Security Council resolutions, nor does it violate the [interim agreement struck in 2013]," a State Department official told the Washington Free Beacon in January.

hearing regarding respondent's case on June 9, 1994, the State's Attorney, in respondent's absence, requested that the trial court close respondent's case. DCFS caseworker, Edweena Hamilton, who had been assigned to respondent's case in October 1993, presented a "Uniform Progress Report" (report) detailing respondent's progress from December 1993 to June 1, 1994. In the report, Hamilton stated the following: respondent's goal was "independence"; respondent had made "good progress" toward this goal and had adjusted well to her placement with Tanner; the whereabouts of respondent's father remained unknown and respondent's mother had not made herself available to DCFS; respondent was attending the Academy of Scholastic Achievement (ASA), working toward a high school diploma; respondent's grades from ASA were not available at the time the report was completed; respondent hada one-year-old daughter who attended day care at ASA while respondent was in class; and DCFS provided respondent's tuition for the spring/summer program at ASA. Hamilton concluded her report by recommending that "[respondent's] case be continued for further progress reporting."
Hamilton also testified that respondent was 19 years old and currently in school, she was doing well in her placement with Tanner and she was doing well in school. While Hamilton had initially written in the report that respondent's case should be continued, Hamilton now felt that if respondent's case were closed, respondent would be able to maintain her goal of independence. When Hamilton was asked whether she believed it would be in respondent's best interest to close her case, Hamilton replied, "Yes." On cross-examination, Hamilton stated that DCFS

It's very sad."
The objective of our movement is to lift the coastal people from the neo-colonialism of the government of KenyaRandu Ruwa, MRC's secretary general
Kenya's struggle for independence from British colonial rule centred on the fight for land.
After independence, in 1963, the new government was dominated by an elite many of whom hailed from the highlands of central Kenya.
They parcelled out valuable plots of land, on the coast and elsewhere, as a means of securing political influence, or simply enriching themselves.
Today, the link between land, wealth and political power remains strong.
On the coast, as the election looms, a separatist movement has been gathering support.
It is known as the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC) and it is calling on voters to boycott the election.
"The objective of our movement is tolift the coastal people from the neo-colonialism of the government of Kenya," says Randu Ruwa, the MRC's secretary general.
It is doubtful whether his movement has the organisation or indeed the support to achieve his dream of an independent republic of Mombasa, stretching the length of Kenya's coastline.
But the Kenyan government has been worried enough by their slogan: "Pwani si Kenya", which translates from Kiswahili as "The Coast is not Kenya", to try to ban the movement through the courts.
Many of its leaders have been arrested, including Mr Ruwa, who is now out on bail. We met in a secluded car park in the centre of the city.
"The international community can see what is going on and we are urging them to intervene in this matter," he said.

Welcome to the Dragon Express Restaurant

ABOUT CLIFF
Cliff likens himself to a Chinese Gordon Ramsey when he tells me that it isn't just food that he serves, the food is himself, it is his expression of how food should be enjoyed and presented in a way that makes him proud to serve it. He says he would never "serve any bloody muck", and I laugh as I see that he truly is, the Chinese Gordon Ramsey, with a great sense of humour to boot.
His passion for what he does and how he does it, and his desire to bring to New Zealand the best of what he can offer from his years of Chef Training in Hong Kong, and a lifetime of passionIntroduction {#Sec1}
============
In response to projected physician shortages in the United States,\[[@CR1]\] there has been a rapid expansion of graduate medical education (GME) programs. In 2017--2018, 620 new GME programs were launched \[[@CR2]\]. Alongside this rapid expansion in GME programs, are extensive changes in technology, healthcare, and education delivery methods.
Physicians-in-training (residents) are typically the frontline primary educators for medical students during clinical clerkships. Even after residency, many residents continue to engage as educators becoming clinical faculty in medical schools and teaching hospitals. Residents are estimated to contribute approximately two-thirds of medical student education during the clinical third and fourth years \[[@CR3]\]. After graduating from medical school, there is an implicit expectation that medical students assume the role of educators as they transition into residency. However, most medical academic curricula

domestic violence. DHS again referred father to Transition Projects and, according to Mancini, he "partially attend[ed]" programming there until that provider lost its funding. She then referred him to Men's Resource Center. Father participated in an intake in October 2002, during which he admitted that he had hit mother on the buttocks twice, restrained her several times, and yelled during conflicts. At that time, the program consisted of weekly two-hour group meetings for six months; father attended five meetings. Father's participation in those sessions was "fine": he was cooperative and positively acknowledged nonviolent goals, but in a somewhat superficial way; he also minimized the incident in which he hit mother in 1999. DHS did not make further referrals for domestic violence services after that because it did notappear that father would participate.
DHS referred father to Volunteers of America (VoA) for a parenting class, which father completed. DHS also referred father for psychological evaluations twice, once with Kowitch in May 2002 and once with Kolbell in October 2002. The first evaluation was based on incomplete testing because father did not return for follow-up appointments. Because Kolbell's evaluation was based on complete information and because he testified at trial, we focus on his evaluation; in any event, the two evaluations do not differ markedly in their conclusions and recommendations.
Kolbell described father as having average intellectual function, although his general fund of information and, particularly, his knowledge of child development is "markedly lacking." He has "extremely poor" judgment, as evidenced by his maintaining a relationship with mother after

she was using methamphetamine. Father was around mother on a daily basis when she was pregnant and never noticed any signs that she appeared to be under the influence. Nor did father notice any signs that mother was under the influence around the time of her positive UA in September 2005.
As noted, father was ordered to participate in domestic violence counseling. Father asserted to Pierce, the DHS caseworker who worked with mother and father from the time of the initial shelter hearing until jurisdiction was established, that there had been no domestic violence for a number of years. After the jurisdictional hearing in June 2005, Pierce referred father to Choices for a domestic violence or anger management assessment. Father missed his first assessment appointment at Choices. Father ultimatelydid participate in an intake at Choices, but he did not enroll in a program. At trial, father testified that he did not believe that he had anger issues that needed to be addressed. He explained that he is very good at controlling himself and that "[t]here's no use being upset in the world. Life's too short."
Caseworker Udlock's first interaction with mother and father occurred during a visit with child; Udlock had been scheduled to meet with mother and father before the visit but was not informed when they arrived. When he went to the visit room, father was upset, speaking to Udlock in a "challenging" and "negative" tone; at one point father commented to Udlock that he was going to "check him out." Father also spoke about

he terminated him. Lane confirmed that he had talked to father about passing the licensing exam, but only as a first step toward reemployment, not as the only prerequisite; he explained that, if father passed the exam, "I'd need to have a conversation with [father] and see if he could be reliable." Vavrovsky, who worked with father at several job sites, also testified about several incidents in which father was late to work or took a very long lunch break. Vavrovsky testified about an incident in which father became angry at him: On one occasion when father was late coming back from lunch and Vavrovsky called the office to find out if anyone knew where father was, Vavrovsky was instructed to have father call in when he returned.After father returned and called in, he became angry with Vavrovsky, speaking loudly and cursing. Vavrovsky had spoken to management about father's reliability.
Father had had the same address, a house, for a year and eight months before trial. As of the time of trial, he lived there with one roommate. Father did repairs on the house, painting, and yard work in lieu of paying rent. Father did not know the last name of the person who owns the house, and it appeared that the owner might be selling the house sometime soon. The owner of the house was happy with the work father had done on it. When DHS caseworker Pierce visited the house on May 10, 2005, it seemed clean and appropriate for children.

Or.App. 94, 105-07, 157 P.3d 283 (2007) (evidence that, at time of trial, the mother had voluntarily begun participating in services including drug treatment and parenting classes and had had "numerous" negative UAs in three months before trial, inter alia, precluded unfitness determination).
Although mother stated at one point at trial that methamphetamine will always be a problem for her, that single piece of testimony is belied by numerous other statements and actions, as well as by mother's continuing use of methamphetamine. Mother's report to her Matrix counselor that methamphetamine was not a great concern in her life is consistent with mother's pattern of minimization of her drug use and the effects it has had on her children. Mother admitted that she had used methamphetamine since she was ateenager and that she used methamphetamine while she was pregnant with A and R. Four of mother's children tested positive for methamphetamine at birth; her parental rights to those children were terminated largely because of her substance abuse. On this record, there is evidence that three of mother's youngest six children suffer symptoms consistent with prenatal methamphetamine exposure: P was speech delayed; R experienced reflux, shaking, stiffness, extreme sensitivity, and excessive screaming; child in this case also has experienced reflux and was reported by his foster mother to be excessively fussy and have a high-pitched cry.

When Ralph Lewis first saw 380 Robinwood Lane in Hillsborough more than a decade ago, he gravitated toward the ranch home's potential. It sat on roughly half an acre and offered a spacious backyard. The floor plan, while dated, offered opportunity for customization.
So Lewis, a Realtor with McGuire Real Estate, set out to create a space ideal for entertaining and gathering. A wall of glass windows now occupies the back of the two-level home, capitalizing on views of the landscaped yard featuring palm trees, ivy and a large grass pad.
"We put these windows in because I wanted it to feel like a loft in New York overlooking Central Park, especially when you are on the second level," Lewis said. "When we first bought it, the walls closed youoff from the beauty."
Lewis also gutted the public areas and reformatted them to create an open living space. A breakfast nook off the kitchen features a sitting window and raised fireplace, offering a homey setting for casual dining and conversations. Though it was completed more than 10 years ago, the redesign was in many ways ahead of its time, said Lewis Butler, of Butler Armsden Architects.
"The trend (open floor plans) is now dominant," said Butler, who oversaw the redesign. "Young clients want everything as a single-room concept, we rarely put formal dining rooms in homes we do from scratch right now."
The great room features a vaulted ceiling with dark hardwood floors below. Wooden pillars support the space, while banks of rectangular windows with square panes of glass filter

and claimed that the a-political, lethargic conduct of those not only allowed the Nazis to maintain power, but led them to it in the first place. According to Gerlof, while using the Jewish environment as a setting, Wolf's play targeted the German conservative worldview as a whole. This was also evidenced by the additional title of the play's edition printed in Zürich at 1935: Doktor Mamlocks Ausweg. Tragödie der westlichen Demokratie ('Dr. Mamlock's Way Out. A Tragedy of Western Democracy').

KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian government will seek to force controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik out of the country, after his incendiary attacks on minorities last week fuelled criticism of its refusal to deport the fugitive Indian televangelist.
The Straits Times understands that the Malaysian Cabinet agreed on Wednesday (Aug 14) that Dr Zakir - who was granted permanent residence by the ousted Barisan Nasional administration - should leave.County plans to include nearly all CIP costs in the
terminal fees paid by all airlines, and to allocate the costs
according to an equalization methodology developed by a
committee that included American, Delta Airlines, Inc. ("Del-
ta") and US Airways, Inc. ("USAir"). Under this methodolo-
gy, used by MIA since 1990, fees for terminal space used
exclusively by a single airline, such as ticket counters, are
based on square footage without regard to age or condition of
the particular space, while fees for facilities and services
shared by airlines, such as baggage claim and concourse
areas, are based on the number of aircraft seats carried by
each airline. See John F. Brown Company, Inc., Dade County,

compelling elements of "The Gospel" is its stellar lineup of gospel music superstars. Holly Davis-Cater revealed that there was a specific and important reason for attracting gospel stars to the project: "People will not listen to the gospel spoken; they are captured by the gospel song." Yolanda Adams commented about her participation: "I heard about the project about a year and a half ago. They said they needed some gospel stars to play themselves in this particular film, and I was happy to participate because it seemed so real. It was a story of faith and believing." Kirk Franklin, who composed the majority of the music in the movie, says "The Gospel" allowed him to do something he had not done in a long time: "It gave usa chance to do traditional music that we don't get a chance to do a lot of." Martha Munizzi, affectionately known as the Teena Marie
of gospel, adds electric energy in her performance and comments, "Rob Hardy listened to my music and asked me to become a part of it, which I was very glad to do." And Donnie McClurkin adds, "I'm particularly drawn to the music in this film because the music helps to tell the story, because traditional music represents what the church used to be (in the storyline)." However, McClurkin purposely does not sing in the movie because he wanted audiences to see another side of him, but he and Franklin are planning a soundtrack music video to the classic song "Ooh Child," made famous by

City of Kingston Officer, defendant George Carlson ("Carlson"), arrived on the scene with his K-9 unit. According to Carlson he observed Keller on top of Scott, and Scott on top of Sheeley, and it appeared as though Scott was choking Sheeley. Carlson asserts that he was holding the dog on a leash with a metal lead and when he pushed Scott in the face to knock him off Sheeley, the metal lead struck plaintiff in the head, leaving a superficial cut that did not require stitches.
Plaintiff denies that he was choking Sheeley. Additionally, plaintiff contends that he was struck in the head with a flashlight.
Scott was arrested and charged with two counts of assault, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana. Town of Ulster Police Officer, defendant Joseph Sinagra("Sinagra"), arrived at the scene after Scott was in handcuffs. He prepared and signed the felony accusatory statement. The marijuana that Sheeley contended he had seen in the passenger side of the car was not recovered. Neither was anything found to explain the alleged "bulge" in plaintiff's front pocket. There is no indication that the driver of the vehicle in which Scott was a passenger was charged.
A preliminary hearing was held on May 27, 1997, in the Town of Ulster Court. Keller and Sheeley testified. Scott was represented by counsel. Although given the opportunity, he did not cross examine, nor did he testify or call a witness. He did, however, deny all accusations. The Town Court found that probable cause for the arrest existed.

said there was "a group of members booing [Sanders] at one point." The news outlet reported:
The vast majority of House Democrats endorsed Clinton's candidacy early in the primary process, but Sanders was invited to attend the weekly meeting as a courtesy extended to all presidential candidates. When Clinton appeared last month, she was applauded and praised for her commitment to help Democrats regain control of Congress this fall. Many Democrats have been reluctant to publicly criticize Sanders for continuing his campaign because they want to ensure that the supporters he activated through the long primary contest will come out and vote for the Democratic ticket in November.

him in 2012.
While he did play 19 seasons with the Cincinnati Reds (1986-2004), his hit totals may seem a bit low, but there were four seasons ('86, '97, '01, '03) where he missed more than half of the season either in the minors or out with injury.
His 12 All-Star appearances, nine Silver Sluggers, seven Gold Gloves, 1995 NL MVP and .295 career average with almost 1000 RBIs as a shortstop and almost 400 SB will put a "C" on his plaque in the next year or two.
JEFF BAGWELL
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Barry Larkin
Bagwell earned a healthy 42% of the vote in his first year of eligibility. The eight-time All Star owns a Rookie of the Year Award (1991), an MVP (1994) and spent all 15 major league seasons (1991-2005) withthe Houston Astros.
The .297 career average, .408 career OBP, and .948 career OPS with 449 HR and 1500+ RBI definitely helps his case.
He was dominant for over a decade at his position and like most players, age caught up with him once he reached 37.
He could get in as early as 2012, but he'll need a big jump in votes to get in.

Bagwell's teammate for 15 seasons (and 5 others before and after) spent all 20 seasons with the Houston Astros, from 1988 to 2007.
Seven All-Star selections, five Silver Sluggers and four Gold Gloves were earned mostly at second base, but also at catcher. His versatility and 3000 hits will endure him to voters in 2013, once he's eligible.

ewe (single, twin, or triplet) and lifetime prolificacy of its dam. It was attempted to leave in the flocks the ewes from twin or triplet births, coming from dams, for which the lifetime prolificacy exceeded the flock average. In mutton flocks, the primary selection traits were growth rate and body weight of the ewe; additionally, similarly to in the prolific flocks, the parameters included in considerations were also the type of birth of the ewe and lifetime prolificacy of its dam. The first service for replacement ewes was performed in their first year of life at the age of approximately 10 months. All ewes were used for reproduction once a year.
Two class I genetic markers, i.e., hemoglobin and transferrin, were used in the analyses. Genotypes of hemoglobin (Hb) wereU. Steppa ([@CR21]), on the basis of factorial analysis of variance, stated that, in the examined flocks, there was a variation in litter size depending on the genotype of transferrin. The effect of this marker was strongest in the flock of prolific sheep line 09, in the first and third lambings, as well as the flock of the White-headed mutton sheep (06) in the second lambing. In the Dorset sheep line (10), in the first lambing, a considerable effect of this factor was also recorded. In the same analyses concerning the effect of the genotype of hemoglobin on litter size, also using factorial analysis of variance, the effect of the genotype of hemoglobin on litter size was observed only in the case of dairy sheep line 05 in

"Managers probably know their players better than anyone, and I remember a quote I heard once from Jim Leyland. He said, 'Justin is built for this.' And I couldn't agree more."
Expectations for ace starters have changed markedly since Morris defined his legacy with that amazing start against Smoltz in the 1991 Series. Morris threw 175 career complete games to Verlander's total of 23 and counting. But Morris sheds his trademark irascibility and recognizes a kindred spirit in Verlander. He sees a pitcher who would have fitsurely had its head turned by the performance of last year’s Brendan Fraser headliner, Journey To The Center Of The Earth. This was, to be fair, a shitty little film, but one that played for most of the summer, solely off the back of its 3D gimmickry. And said gimmickry was out in force, with the film feeling like a feature length version of those old 3D cinemas you used to get in theme parks. Any excuse to lug something unconvincingly towards the camera was not resisted, and the end result was a film that coasted by on its 3D work, and little else. Given that it took over $100m at the US box office as a result, it’s unsurprising that a sequel is on the way.

of the transaction. As James Kane, Triple Crown's manager, testified, Kevin was listed as the purchaser on the DMV paperwork "[b]ecause that was the wishes [sic] of Anthony McCarty" (italics added)not because it was Kevin's wish, or the wishes of both Anthony and Kevin. Kane's testimony supports the conclusion that with respect to the sale of the Blazer, Triple Crown considered Anthony to be its customer.
Mid-Century argues that, because Kevin participated in choosing and test drove the Blazer, he was a "customer" of Triple Crown. Even if prior to the purchase Kevin was a potential customer, any such potentiality went unrealized when Anthony purchased the Blazer from Triple Crown. Kevin was neither a "customer" nor a potential customer when the accident occurred a week after Anthony had purchasedin Tulare County. Arias was driving his own car south on that highway. A Mr. Cota, a bishop and secretary of the Church corporation testified, under section 2055 of the Code of Civil Procedure that on October 16th, 17th and 18th, the Church was having a regional convention or a conference of all the 29 churches of the district at Tulare; that defendant Arias was then assistant pastor of a church in Sanger, the title to which was held by defendant Church; that Arias had a license to preach the gospel, baptize, and officiate at funeral ceremonies. The license bears the seal of the appellant Church corporation. It was received in evidence. He testified that some months prior to and after October 17th, the original pastor in the

He then furnished acopy of a circular invitation which he said was sent out to "all Bishops, Elders, Pastors and the rest of the Congregation" to attend the regional convention at Tulare on October 16th, 17th and 18th. This invitation concludes with the expression: "We supplicate the different groups to take an interest in preparing, ... this glorious feast, spiritual feast."
The constitution and by-laws of the Church corporation were received in evidence. They provide, in part, that "The amount that should be contributed by each member of the Apostolic Church shall be at least a tenth part of his earnings or possessions ..."; and that "the Bishops, Elders, Pastors and other Ministers shall be supported from the ninety (90) per cent that is left in the Church."

January 19, as saying Trump acted like and had the understanding of "a fifth or sixth-grader".
The reduced display compared to past years earned a thank you note from Trump, who hailed it as a "big and very positive statement from North Korea".
Trump has said the Justice Department should investigate and unmask the anonymous author.

Nokdu-muk (, 綠豆- ; "mung bean jelly",) is a Korean muk, or jelly, made from mung bean starch. In its most commonly encountered form, it is also called cheongpo-muk (, 淸泡-), which literally means "clear froth jelly," owing to its clear white color. If it is colored with gardenia, the nokdu-muk is called hwangpo-muk, which literally means "yellow froth jelly."
Nokdu-muk is usually served cold, usually as the banchan (side dish) nokdu-muk-muchim (녹두묵무침). As it has little flavor of its own, nokdu-muk is typically seasoned with soy sauce and vinegar.
Nokdu-muk is a common food for special occasions. It is often served at Korean weddings and other celebrations. Nokdumuk is also used as a main ingredient for making the Korean royal cuisine dish called tangpyeong-chae. It is made by

Israel: Lebanese Army Cooperating with Hezbollah, Threatens Jewish State
The Times of Israel reports: Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday told the army’s top brass to prepare for an Iran-led threat coalescing on Israel’s northern border, which he said includes the Lebanese Armed Forces.
“A new reality is coming together against us: the Lebanese army, in cooperation with Hezbollah, the Syrian army, the Shiite militias in Syria and, above it all, Iran — all of them coming together into one front against the State of Israel, the northern front,” Liberman told the generals.
Though Israeli officials have repeatedly warned of an increasingly symbiotic relationship between the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group and the Lebanese government, including the military, it is rare for Beirut itself to be included in the list of theQUESTION: Rebbi Elazar teaches that "when one relates a teaching in the name of the person who originally said it, he brings redemption to the world." He derives this principle from the verse, "And Esther told the king [that Bigsan and Seresh were conspiring to assassinate him] in the name of Mordechai" (Esther 2:22). In the merit of Esther's humbling herself by attributing the source of her information to Mordechai, the Jewish people were redeemed from the mortal threat that faced them.
Rebbi Elazar's teaching is difficult to understand. How can this principle be derived from the actions of Esther? The cause for the redemption from the threat of Haman was clearly a result of the fact that the king recorded Mordechai's name in his ledgers in order to

the person who originally told it to him, he brings redemption to the world. This is why Mordechai specifically wanted Esther to relay the information in his name. He wanted to create a source of merit for redemption.
(b) The ETZ YOSEF in the name of the MANOS HA'LEVI explains the Gemara here differently. He says that Mordechai actually wanted Esther to give the information in her own name in order to boost her standing with the king. Esther, however, was humble and did not want to use the favor for her own prestige, and instead she attributed the information to Mordechai. This trait of humility is a trait of Mashi'ach, who is described as "a poor person who rides a donkey" (Zecharyah 9:9). A genuine redeemer knows thatdesperate attempt to save the Jewish people. Until the news of Haman's decree, Esther had not been in the intimate company of Achashverosh unless he had requested her presence; this time, however, she would present herself to him on her own accord. She was Halachically permitted to do this because the survival of the Jewish people was at stake. (The rule of "Yehareg v'Al Ya'avor" did not apply, as the Gemara in Sanhedrin 74b explains.) This concern was uppermost in Esther's mind as she advanced towards the throne room in silent prayer that Hash-m would give her favor in the eyes of the evil king whose golden scepter dictated the fate of those who appeared before him unbidden.
The Gemara says that on her way, Esther passed the royal

cites the Gemara in Pesachim (111a) to explain Esther's motivation. The Vilna Ga'on writes that "had I been there, I would have added another reason why she invited him." The Gemara earlier (15a) says that when Esther heard the news of Haman's plot against the Jews, it shocked her so much that she became a Nidah. Three days later, she made the first party for Achashverosh and Haman. Her motivation was to invite the two of them and to situate herself, a Nidah, between them.
The Gemara in Pesachim says that if a woman walks between two men while she is a Nidah, a tragedy will result. If she has just begun her state of Nidah, one of the men will be killed. If she is near the endof her flow, a quarrel will arise between the two men.
Esther reasoned that if she was at the beginning of her state of Nidah, then either Haman or Achashverosh would die, and the decree would be annulled. (The Gemara in Ta'anis (29a) says that when the senate issued a decree and, subsequently, one member of the senate died, his death was interpreted as an omen that the decree must be annulled. However, it is not clear that this rule actually applied in the case of Haman, because it is evident from the Megilah that his death did not cause the decree to be rescinded since the decree was signed with the king's signet and it was necessary for the king himself to repeal it.)

in Hollywood Wednesday night.Cavallari had been fuming since 10:20 p.m., when she spotted Jenner hitting on Hills co-star Audrina Patridge, 25, who didn't seem interested as she's dating Ryan Cabrera, 27.Jenner stopped speaking to Patridge to try to calm down Cavallari, who was on her second beer, but she grabbed his arm angrily before they parted.At midnight, Cavallari stood up quickly with her dress hiked to her waist -- flashing a pair of white mesh panties! She didn't seem too concerned, and pulled her dress back down. (Joked Cavallari's trainer John Damon to some pals, "See that sick body? That's because of me. I torment her on the treadmill!")A few minutes later, a gorgeous brunette began chatting up Jenner, making Cavallari -- who gave the girl an icyhello -- increasingly annoyed. Cavallari, who had been drinking all night, threw a cell phone she'd received for free from a swag suite down on the floor in anger.After about 30 minutes of Jenner's flirtation with the brunette, Cavallari approached her and began screaming as a Hills producer whispered into his microphone, "This is going to get ugly." The brunette's blonde friend also began yelling back at Cavallari.Jenner intervened after about five minutes of fighting, pulling Cavallari away and giving her a hug. Cavallari smiled and flashed Jenner a hotel room key and the two of them -- with their arms all over each other -- took off together.Jenner and Cavallari haven't dated since 2006, but have always had sexual tension.

were probably carried out at Mvumi mission hospital in the 1930s by general surgeons (Allen Foster, personal communication) and this was also the first hospital in the country to employ an ophthalmologist in the 1960s \[[@CR8]\]. By the time of independence in 1961, Christian missionary societies owned 42% of all hospital beds in the country and 81% of the primary healthcare facilities \[[@CR30]\].
Following an 'African socialist' approach to development, President Nyerere nationalised many mission health facilities beginning in the late 1960s \[[@CR30], [@CR31]\]. As a leading advocate of the WHO 1978 Alma Ata declaration, Tanzania later took steps to divert resources from hospitals into front-line facilities \[[@CR31]\]. This broad approach may have indirectly supported community eye care services, through local government recognition of the eye health needs ofelderly people for spectacles in high-profile adult literacy campaigns \[[@CR32], [@CR33]\]. Financial contributions to fund spectacle donations, for example, were encouraged from local groups in the spirit of self-reliance \[[@CR32]\].
During this period, specialist services, such as eye care, created important symbolic justification for retaining mission actors in the health system. In the early 1970s, Nyerere commissioned Church missions, supported by international FBOs, to build regional teaching and referral hospitals to house specialist services \[[@CR29]\]. These institutions were responsible for training the country's first non-physician assistant medical officers in ophthalmology (AMOOs), ophthalmologists and optometrists between 1975 and 1985 (Nkundwe Mwakyusa and Allen Foster, 2012, personal communications). With the global economic crisis and the imposition of World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the 1980s, many services at government-run district and

Two authenticated miracles are required before sainthood and Newman has been credited with curing a man's spinal disease and is now said to have healed a woman's unstoppable bleeding.
Newman was beatified (the process in which an individual is declared blessed after a miracle is attributed to him or her) in 2010 by Pope Benedict before tens of thousands of people in his home city.

Motion Picture: "The Hurt Locker."
This was a fantastic movie. It was tense, it was well acted, and it had a great pace. If I can tell how a movie is going to end within 10 minutes of watching it, it isn't a good film. Luckily, the Hurt Locker was unpredictable up until the last minute. Further, it put a spotlight on people who deserve to be honored, rather than the plasticized magazine cover models. And my girlfriend had to hide in the closet during the final bomb defusing because she was so nervous ... also, I'd locked her in there for burning the pot roast again.

Next, I visit Taliesin West, the school/winter home of America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Here I explore the unique structures and landscapes that make up Wright's real-world laboratory for he and his students' architectural ideas.
Then I head back into nature with AOA to go hiking in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, a 30,000-acre preserve located just minutes from the city, and a perfect place to explore the unique landscape of the desert -- even when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees.
Last, I head inside and give a tour of my sweet pad at the Hotel Valley Ho, probably one of the coolest hotels I've ever stayed in. Harkening back to itsMid-Century roots, the hotel's unique architecture and swanky rooms makes it one of the premiere places to rest your head while staying in Scottsdale.
In this travel video guide to Scottsdale, Arizona, I travel to Scottsdale, the so-called "Miami Beach" of Arizona. Located just to the east of Phoenix, Scottsdale is home to some of the city's best restaurants, bars, hotels and attractions.
I start of my travel in Scottsdale visiting downtown, otherwise known as "Old Town," the very walkable central part of the city full of small shops and a booming restaurant scene. It is also here that the city's roots can be traced back to the original farmers and settlers that called this otherwise barren part of the desert home back in the early 1900's.

at least 17 million years ago.[4][5] Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.[6]
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in the Hopi language) a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it.[7] The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540,More Infohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon

Claudio Ranieri has been appointed Roma manager until the end of the season.
Ranieri, 67, was sacked by Fulham eight days ago after winning three of his 17 games in charge of the club.
But the AS Roma fan – who managed the club between 2009 and 2011 – has been handed a quick return to management, replacing Eusebio di Francesco.
“I’m delighted to be coming back home,” Ranieri said on Friday. “When Roma call you, it’s impossible to say no.”
Di Francesco was sacked on Wednesday after losing 4-3 on aggregate to Porto in the Champions League last 16.
AS Roma sporting director Monchi also left the club earlier on Friday.

One of the worst affected cities from this contemporary scourge is surely London.

London's biggest gay club, XXL at Pulse, is due to close on 22 September despite London Mayor Sadiq Khan being elected on a promise to resist any further LGBTQI club closures.
It'll be made into — you guessed it — luxury flats.
The appointment of a Night Tsar, something occasionally mooted for Sydney, didn't help, according to XXL co-owner James McNeill.
"The Mayor didn't meet us. He sent London's Night Tsar, Amy Lame," he said.
"But she'sa club promoter for [rival LGBTQI pub] the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and spent most of her resources saving that venue from closure, with little interest in saving the venue that houses the world's biggest weekly party for bears [hirsute gay men]."
Just 53 LGBTQI venues in London were open in 2017 compared with 125 in 2006.
BuzzFeed featured a powerful piece showing 24 before and after pictures of London's "disappearing lesbian and gay scene". The diversity of the rainbow characterising the gay scene is being replaced by shades of grey and beige.
It's an act of sanitisation that'll see cities like London lose all character, individuality and edge, becoming a series of carbon-copy high streets featuring Starbucks, Pret, Nero and McDonald's on repeat.

As a strong conservationist and leading advocate for the environment, Dr. John Tanton founded the Petoskey, Michigan regional Audubon Society. He has been active in a number of environmental organizations, both locally and nationally. Dr. Tanton recognized that continued human population growth is a significant contributor to environmental problems and he therefore became involved with the Sierra Club Population Committee and became President and board member of Zero Population Growth.
As immigration became the driving force behind unending U.S. population growth, John Tanton founded FAIR - the Federation for American Immigration Reform. John Tanton is pro-immigrant and pro-legal immigration, but at reduced, sustainable numbers. He states:
"The stresses caused by population growth cannot be solved by international migration. They must be confronted by and within each individual nation. Fundamental tothe concept of national rights and responsibilities is the duty of each nation to match its population with its political, social, and environmental resources, in both the short and the long term. No nation should exceed what the biologists call its 'carrying capacity.'"
This video is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Dr. John Tanton. For more information, see:

June and September 1982. Plaintiff alleges that he is an orthodox Moslem and that he is prohibited by his religion from trimming his beard. He alleges that prior to being hired by defendant, defendant told him he was required to trim his beard as a condition of employment, and that he did so and was hired. He also alleges that because of religious discrimination he was treated differently from other employees and wrongfully discharged three months after he began his employment with defendant.
On December 13, 1982, plaintiff filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(d), the EEOC deferred the complaint to the New York State Division of Human Rights to provide that agency an opportunity to resolve the dispute in astate forum. On April 8, 1987, the DOHR decided that plaintiff was entitled to $7,500 as compensation for the discrimination he suffered when he was required to trim his beard, but that the evidence did not support a finding that his treatment while employed and his discharge were based on religious discrimination. The notice of final order carried a warning that "a complainant who seeks state judicial review, and who receives an adverse decision therein, may lose his or her right to proceed subsequently in Federal Court under Title VII, by virtue of Kremer v. Chemical Constr. Co., 456 U.S. 461, 102 S.Ct. 1883, 72 L.Ed.2d 262 (1982)."

While official news sites in China made no mention of the hacking claims, the matter was raised at a briefing of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thursday.
In a three-part answer, spokesman Hong Lei said that "certain reports prove again" that Chinese sites had been hacked.
"First of all, China's Internet is open to all, users enjoy total freedom online. China has gained 500 million netizens and 300 million bloggers in a very short period of time, which shows the attraction and openness of China's Internet," Hong said.

"Secondly, the Chinese government manages the Internet according to law and regulations. Thirdly, certain reports prove again that China is a victim of internet hacker attacks."
Onalleged Anonymous hackings, it has reported on their activities in the past.
In February, it reported that the group had taken down the websites of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Alabama state government.
Soon after that attack, top members of Anonymous and its offshoots were arrested and charged after a wide-ranging investigation that was assisted by a group leader working as a secret government informant. The FBI informant, "Sabu," was a part of the elite AntiSec hackers.
In recent years, Anonymous has been involved in some of the most high-profile cyberattacks on the Web -- hobbling the websites of governments and businesses, hacking into sites to reveal private data and, along the way, getting dubbed cyberterrorists by authorities in the United States and elsewhere.

Actor wears 10 hats in play about gentrification in Williamsburg
A critically acclaimed play about gentrification in Williamsburg will soon be playing in - of all places - Williamsburg.
Danny Hoch - actor, playwright, Williamsburg resident and founder of the Hip-Hop Theater Festival - is giving a free performance of his one-man show, "Taking Over," in his own backyard - and at other spots around the city.

Hoch will give free performances in Queens and the Bronx, before the show's Nov. 7 opening at the Public Theater in Manhattan.
"To have the show be successful in the Public Theater, I know I have to get the support of people in the boroughs first," said Hoch, 37. "Tourists won't be my bread and butter, but [it's the] New Yorkers, who feel their storiesfunnier they become. There's lots of hysterical laughter in 'Taking Over,' but some moments are serious, heart-stopping."
When "Taking Over" opened at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in January, critic Robert Hurwitt of the San Francisco Chronicle described the piece as "a stunning and provocatively complex portrait of a community in transition."
Hoch said while his work is set in the neighborhood where he's lived since 1990, "Taking Over" reflects what's going on in many other places, including DUMBO, Fort Greene, Chicago, Oakland and San Francis. His beef is with rapid, rather than gradual gentrification.
"I have one character in the show who took a cue from a developer, who will remain nameless, and gave all the high-end store owners in a 10-block-square area free rent for 10 years.

"'Future Shock' is a documentary film based on the book written
in 1970 by sociologist and futurist Alvin Toffler. Released in 1972,
with a cigar-chomping Orson Welles as on-screen narrator, this piece of futurism is darkly dystopian and oozing techno-paranoia."
"In the first narrative feature from The Wolfpack director Crystal Moselle, Camille, an introverted teenage skateboarder (newcomer Rachelle Vinberg) from Long Island, meets and befriends an all-girl, New York City-based skateboarding crew called Skate Kitchen. She falls in with the in-crowd, has a falling-out with her mother, and falls fora mysterious skateboarder guy (Jaden Smith), but a relationship with him proves to be trickier to navigate than a kickflip.
Writer/director Crystal Moselle immersed herself in the lives of the skater girls and worked closely with them, resulting in the film's authenticity, which combines poetic, atmospheric filmmaking and hypnotic skating sequences. SKATE KITCHEN precisely captures the experience of women in male-dominated spaces and tells a story of a girl who learns the importance of camaraderie and self-discovery.

School in Houghton, Johannesburg. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics and African Studies at the Unversity of the Witwatersrand and then a diploma in FINE Arts from the Johannesburg Art Foundation. He originally hoped to become an actor, but reflects today: "I was fortunate to discover at a theatre school that I was so bad an actor that I was reduced to being an artist, and I made my peace with it.”
For his art work in such different fields as drawing, animated films, opera and sculpture, Kentridge has received numerous prestigious awards such as the the Carnegie Medal (1999), the Kyoto Prize (2010), the Dan David Prize (2012) and the Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres (2013).
The video also shows excerpts from the works: 'Memo'(1994) and 'Duck Soup' (2007).
William Kentridge was interviewed by Synne Rifbjerg on the occasion of the Art Alive Festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in May 2016.

'WELLINGTON (Reuters Life!) - Boys get better grades at single-sex schools than when they're in mixed-gender schools, where girls consistently outperform them, a recent New Zealand study shows.
The study, based on the long-term Christchurch Health and Development Study at the University of Otago, compared the educational achievements of over 900 boys and girls who attended single-sex and coeducational secondary schools in New Zealand.
For students attending single-sex secondary schools, there was a slight tendency for males to outperform females.
For students attending co-educational schools, however, there was a clear tendency for girls to outperform boys, a pattern that continued when students were followed up to the age of 25.'(CNN) In the wake of three days of erratic behavior and amid the controversy caused by a book suggesting he is forgetful and dismissed by many who work for him, questions of President Donald Trump's mental competence are everywhere.
At Thursday's press briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called the idea that Trump was mentally unfit for the job "disgraceful and laughable." She added: "If he was unfit, he probably wouldn't be sitting there, wouldn't have defeated the most qualified group of candidates the Republican Party has ever seen."
While it's far from a determinative explanation from Sanders, she does have a point. And the point is this: Trump is who he has always been.

perhaps most strikingly, those on the right who tried this month to tie the Boston Marathon bombings to immigration policy have been relatively muted.
"If this were 2007, you can imagine how the talk radio people might have reacted," said Norquist. "They might have gone, 'These people are bad, and they're squirrely looking, and they're immigrants!'"
Norquist, one of his party's most successful organizers of the last 20 years, said he recently hosted a meeting with conservative immigration hard-liners who believed "they could put the old band back together" and revive the culture war of 2007. Rather than lecture them on how their crusade would adversely impact the GOP, he presented polling data to show just how fruitless their efforts would be.

So why is Land Rover killing the Defender?
Because of impending regulations, certainly, but also for more pressing industrial reasons. Five hundred workers build the car by hand – there are fewer than 10 robots on the whole line; step across to the Range Rover line on the other side of the Lode Lane, Solihull

in a cold and unknown land far from home? Simple answer: It wasn't, as most people instinctively recognize.
Out of 102 passengers on the Mayflower who arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December of 1620, 51, or exactly half, died from malnutrition or disease within a few months. The bereaved survivors must have been painfully aware of the precariousness of their own existence. They included William Bradford, the author of the classic Of Plymouth Plantation, who went on to become governor of the colony for many years. Gravely ill, his young wife, Dorothy May, either fell or threw herself to her death as the Mayflower lay at anchor in Cape Cod.
The Pilgrims did not build on a record of success. As Donna Curtin, the executive director of the Pilgrim HallMuseum points out, "Many other colonies (in the Americas) had failed terribly." Set up in 1607, the original English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, had all but collapsed three years later – with 80-90 percent of its inhabitants lost to starvation and disease. In Ms. Curtin's words, "They had murder, cannibalism, you name it – horrific, brutal conditions." No fewer than 10 colonies set up before Jamestown by the Spanish and French had also ended in disaster.
The Pilgrim leaders were well aware of this string of failures, as we know from Bradford's journal. Coming with intact families and a strong sense of community, the Pilgrims bore more than a passing resemblance to the ancient Jews who sojourned in Egypt before going on to find their new home. Having fled

to leave their Ark (the moon) in orbit, to keep life viable here. It took them a couple of centuries to get alternate transportation off this rock, with the final departure of the gods occurring in the early 1500s.
Due to the conflict, a lot of the slaves in the world were left to the human controllers, whom formalized their bureaucracy in 1110 CE. When the gods lost the war, they lost their actual power given by them--but didn't bother to tell any of the slaves, instead tricking them into believing they still had it (kind of like when Congress declared income tax to be illegal, so the IRS made it "voluntary" and didn't tell anyone, here in the USA).
I haven't yet done the correlation work between the attemptto eliminate the Knights Templar and the expansion event, which both occurred in the 14th century, so there might be a correlation there. (Friday, October 13, 1307.) But that was a definite shift in the power structure of this world.
After the departure of the gods (circa 1525 CE), man was in total control, not much changing since then.

George Bush today defended the US central bank's decision to bail out giant insurer AIG and sought to reassure markets that his administration was intent on confronting the growing crisis.
The crisis also shaped the day's talk on the campaign trail, with both candidates seeking to grab the economic situation for their advantage. The economic troubles have shifted the tone of the presidential race, with Barack Obama enjoying a slight resurgence in polling as voters deem him better equipped to manage the ailing economy than Republican John McCain.
Under pressure to respond forcefully to the grim economic news, McCain said today that if he were in power he would the nation's top securities regulator and a former Republican congressman, Christopher Cox.
"The chairman of the [Securities and Exchange Commission] serves atthe financial crisis was "presenting new challenges on an hourly basis" and that "steadiness and reduction of uncertainty" is what the US and the world needed.
"History will judge the quality of our response to this economic crisis, but now is not the time for those of us in the trenches to be distracted by the ebb and flow of the current election campaign," Cox said in a statement. "And it is precisely the wrong moment for a change in leadership."
As stocks in New York rallied in early trading, partly in response to a coordinated series of moves by central banks around the world to pump money into credit markets, Bush said AIG's failure "could have caused a severe disruption in our financial markets and threatened other sectors of

for very early rice use has been known from the site of Lahuradewa in the central Ganges basin, but it has long been thought that domesticated rice agriculture didn't reach South Asia until towards the end of the Indus era, when the wetland rice arrived from China around 2000 BC. Researchers found evidence of domesticated rice in South Asia as much as 430 years earlier.
The new research is published today in the journals Antiquity and Journal of Archaeological Science by researchers from the University of Cambridge's Division of Archaeology, in collaboration with colleagues at Banaras Hindu University and the University of Oxford.
"We found evidence for an entirely separate domestication process in ancient South Asia, likely based around the wild species Oryza nivara. This led to the local developmentof a mix of 'wetland' and 'dryland' agriculture of local Oryza sativa indica rice agriculture before the truly 'wetland' Chinese rice, Oryza sativa japonica, arrived around 2000 BC," says study co-author Dr Jennifer Bates
"While wetland rice is more productive, and took over to a large extent when introduced from China, our findings appear to show there was already a long-held and sustainable culture of rice production in India as a widespread summer addition to the winter cropping during the Indus civilisation."

It stated that 20 million sunglasses were sold in the United States in 1937, but estimated that only about 25% of American wearers needed them to protect their eyes. Polarized sunglasses first became available in 1936, when Edwin H. Land began experimenting with making lenses with his patented Polaroid filter. In 1947, the Armorlite Company began producing lenses with CR-39 resin.
At present, Xiamen, China, is the world's largest producer of sunglasses, with its port exporting 120 million pairs each year.
Functions
Visual clarity and comfort
Sunglasses can improve visual comfort and visual clarity by protecting the eye from glare.
Various types of disposable sunglasses are dispensed to patients after receiving mydriatic eye drops during eye examinations.
The lenses of polarized sunglasses reduce glare reflected at some angles off shiny non-metallic surfaces, suchbe intimidating to those not wearing sunglasses; the avoided eye contact can also demonstrate the wearer's detachment, which is considered desirable (or "cool") in some circles. Eye contact can be avoided even more effectively by using mirrored sunglasses. Sunglasses can also be used to hide emotions; this can range from hiding blinking to hiding weeping and its resulting red eyes. In all cases, hiding one's eyes has implications for nonverbal communication; this is useful in poker, and many professional poker players wear heavily tinted glasses indoors while playing, so that it is more difficult for opponents to read tells which involve eye movement and thus gain an advantage.
Fashion trends can be another reason for wearing sunglasses, particularly designer sunglasses from high-end fashion brands. Sunglasses of particular shapes may

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — New Yorkers will rally on the corner where Saheed Vassell, a man who reportedly suffered from bipolar disorder, was shot dead by police who mistakenly believed he had a gun.
Hundreds of people are expected to rally on Utica Avenue and Montgomery Street where Vassell, 34, was shot dead by NYPD officers responding to 911 calls at about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, according to the rally's Facebook event page. "Saheed Vassell, an unarmed Black man was murdered by NYPD Wednesday night," NYC Shut It Down organizers wrote. "Join us as we demand justice for Saheed Vassell. Black Lives Matter!"
Five officers — three plain clothes and two in uniform — fired 10 rounds at Vassell after receiving reports that he was waving a gun at people walkingon the street, according to NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan. The officers saw Vassell take "a two-hand shooting stance" and point what was later revealed to be a metal pipe with a knob at the end of it, Monahan said.
Vassell died later that night at Kings County Hospital, police said. Now organizers from NYC Shut It Down — an activist group against formed in response the deaths of Eric Garner and Mike Brown — plan to gather where Vassell was killed to speak out against a police response family, friends and witnesses say was unnecessarily violent.
"[Vassell would] just walk around the neighborhood and help people," his father, Eric Vassell, told the New York Times, adding that his son was the father of a 15-year-old son and suffered

The Cavaliers became just the19th team in league history—since 1947—to win the NBA championship. I detailed the lack of parity on NBA.com just a couple of weeks ago, when it looked like Golden State was going to repeat. Ten teams, including the Warriors' franchise, have won 61 of the possible 70 championships in league history.
The Warriors will be must-see TV/iPhone/Android/Mac/VR/whatever device you use next season. They just took part in the most watched Finals since the Jordan era. If the Cavs and Warriors meet for a third straight time next June, with Durant now in the cast of characters, what do you think the ratings will be?

him as a polymath and a "national treasure".[54] He was also granted a lifetime achievement award at the British Comedy Awards on 5 December 2007[55] and the Special Recognition Award at the National Television Awards on 20 January 2010[56].
BBC Four dedicated two nights of programming to Fry on 17 and 18 August 2007, in celebration of his 50th birthday. The first night, comprising programs featuring Fry, began with a sixty-minute documentary entitled Stephen Fry: 50 Not Out. The second night was composed of programs selected by Fry, as well as a 60-minute interview with Mark Lawson and a half-hour special, Stephen Fry: Guilty Pleasures.[citation needed]Stephen Fry Weekend proved such a ratings hit for BBC Four that it was repeated on BBC Two on 16 and 17 of thatSeptember. However, there has also been criticism, one journalist describing him as a stupid person's idea of what an intelligent person looks like.[57]
Fry has claimed to hold the UK record for saying "fuck" the most times on a live television broadcast.[58]
Personal life
Fry struggled to keep his homosexuality secret during his teenage years at public school, and has claimed not to have engaged in sexual activity for sixteen years from 1979 until 1995.[59][60] When asked when he first acknowledged his sexuality, Fry quipped: "I suppose it all began when I came out of the womb. I looked back up at my mother and thought to myself, 'That's the last time I'm going up one of those.'"[61] Fry currently lives in London with his partner, Daniel Cohen, whom he met

in 1995.[62] He drives a black TX4London cab. He also has a second home near King's Lynn, Norfolk.
Fry was an active supporter of the Labour Party for many years, and appeared in a party political broadcast on its behalf with Hugh Laurie and Michelle Collins in November 1993. Despite this, he did not vote in the 2005 General Election because of the stance of both the Labour and Conservative parties with regard to the Iraq War. Despite his praising of the current government for social reform, Fry has been critical of the Labour Party's "Third Way" concept. He is on cordial terms with Prince Charles (despite a mild parody Fry performed in his role of King Charles I in the comedy programme Blackadder: The Cavalier Years), through hiswork with the Prince's Trust. He attended the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Camilla Parker-Bowles in 2005.
Fry is a friend of British comedian and actor (and Blackadder co-star) Rowan Atkinson and was best man at Atkinson's wedding to Sunetra Sastry at the Russian Tea Room in New York City. He was also a friend of British actor John Mills.[63] He was best man at the wedding of Hugh Laurie (whom he considers to be his best friend[64]) and is godfather to all three of Laurie's children.
Fry has talked on occasion about his passion for whisky. He visited the Woodford Reserve whiskey distillery in Kentucky, US in his BBC series Stephen Fry in America. Stephen cites his favourite whisky as the Master of Malt 19 year old

Athwart the star-lit midnight skyLuminous fleecy clouds drift by,As the mysterious, pallid moonSinks in the waveless still lagoon.Now that the queen of night is dead,The starry commonwealth o'erhead(Softer and fairer than gaudy day)Sheds lustrous light from the Milky Way;While the Dog-star gleams, and the Sisters Seven,Float tremulously in the misty heaven.Faintly, afar the horse-bells ring;Myriads of wakened crickets sing;And the spirit voices of the nightSing snatches of fairy music bright,Old-world melodies - lang syne sung -Recalling days when the heart was young,Whose wonderful cadences fall and rise,As the wind in theslenderBreathe the messages of hope from each murm'ring tree.Paths that twist and roads that wind yield at every turningGlimpses of the bushland birds, snatches of their song;Weary folk, and woe-begone, worn with years of yearning,All the hills are blue to-day -- won't you come along?

Reach the semi final of the Champions League
Just a quick reminder from the mid season update that we managed to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League by squeezing in to second place in a tight group. Despite finishing with a negative goal difference after being hammered by Manchester City we still finished level with City on 10 points.
Unfortunately the draw for the next round was not kind and we would have to face Barcelona, our conquerors in the quarter final stage last season.
If we are being realistic we have no chance of standing up to Barcelona at this point in my tenure but at least it should aid the development of some of our younger players.

AFP, New Delhi :India captain Virat Kohli has told how his late father refused to pay a bribe to get him into a Delhi state junior team when he was a teenager.The world's top ranked one-day batsman did not identify who had demanded the bribe but said he was rejected by the team, a rebuff that left him "broken"."In my home state… sometimes things happen that are not fair," the Times of India newspaper and other media quoted Kohli as saying during an online forum with India's football captain Sunil Chhetri."On one occasion, a certain person did not play by the rules for selection criteria," the skipper added."He told my father while I had the merit, a little extra (bribe)his actions and not merely words. Those little things had a great impact on me," Kohli was quoted as saying.Kohli's father, a lawyer, died when he was 18 and playing in a Ranji Trophy state match for Delhi. He returned to bat the day after his father's death."I accepted his death as I was focused on moving forward with my career," Kohli said."His death made me realise I had to make something of my life. Now I think about how nice it would be if I could have given my father the peaceful retired life he deserved. At times I get emotional thinking about him."

A mysterious stranger named Jepperd comes in to save Gus and kills the two hunters. Jepperd offers to take Gus to a place called The Preserve where hybrids can live in safety. However, Gus was always told by his father to never ever leave the woods.
Gus decides to trust Jepperd and the two work their way to the promised land. Life outside the woods is very different than anything Gus is used to and even more different than his father told him it was like.

Barbara J. King (born 18 August 1956) is professor emerita, retired from the Department of Anthropology at the College of William & Mary where she taught from 1988 to 2015.
Biography
Since 2011, King has written weekly for the National Public Radio blog Cosmos and Culture, which explores humans' relationships to each other, their environment, and the planet. Specifically, King focused often on the "inner lives" of intelligent animals like primates, the octopus, squid, pigs, and dolphins, arguing that humanity should consider how best to communicate and accommodate these species' lives without anthropomorphization or exploitation.
King also utilized the blog format to relate personal stories for a general audience, such as her treatment for uterine cancer (2013) and her retirement from active teaching (2015).

Management, Inc. backed No. 20 machine in 12th fastest in time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Kingsburg, CA driver would struggle a little as DJ Netto and Kyle Hirst were able to get by as he settled for a third place finish, which was good enough to lock him into the nine-car Dash.
Find himself scratch on the field in the Dash line up, Eliason would rebound from an early spin to finish sixth and put the TW Performance/Kaeding Performance/Cardinal Paint and Powder entry in the third row for the 30-lap 'A' Main event.
On an extremely slick racing surface, Eliason just could not seem to get rolling forward as he and the Antaya Motorsports team would have liked. Getting up to the sixthof the West Schedule, Cory Eliason and the Antaya Motorsports team were in the lead mix all night long before settling for a third place finish during Saturday night's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial in Chico, CA.
"We really had a fast racecar all night long, and were right there with Rico (Abreu) at times," Cory Eliason said. "Unfortunately on a late restart I didn't have brakes and about took both of us out, but thankfully we didn't hit. For the last 12 laps or so I hunt on as best as I could and we still ended up on the podium."
A total of 37 cars checked into the pit area on Saturday night to take part in the race paying homage to the legendary Bradway, Jr. Timing the Good

a "Class 5" physical impairment, which states: "Severe limitation of functional capacity; incapable of minimal (sedentary) activity. 75-100%." Tr. at 497.
In the opinion of the Court, the ALJ's hypothetical question (Tr. at 99) is supported by the opinion of the treating physician, Dr. Ghrist which was expressed in the letter to Disability Determination Services on April 18, 1994 (Tr. at 472), as well as the other medical opinions discussed below. In the April 18, 1994 letter, Dr. Ghrist stated that Plaintiff is unable to lift more than 10-15 pounds, the lifting restriction in the hypothetical.
The ALJ told the vocational expert to assume that Plaintiff would be unable to stand more than one hour at a time and no more than two to three hours out of an eightor use her arms above shoulder level. Tr. at 100.
The Attending Physician's Statement form filled out by Dr. Ghrist for American Mutual Life Insurance Company, on June 15, 1994, (Tr. at 497) would, at first glance, seem to contradict the opinion rendered to Disability Determination Services in April, and to detract from the substantiality of the evidence. The Court, however, is of the opinion that the ALJ was correct in giving more weight to the reports written at the request of Disability Determination Services. In the first place, when Dr. Ghrist wrote the letters of April 18, 1994, and January 16, 1992, he would have been well aware that his opinion regarding Plaintiff's functional limitations would be used to adjudicate her claim for disability benefits.

relationship with the world at large that creates a duty to act where his own conduct places others in peril, Anglo-American common law has for centuries accepted the fundamental premise that mere knowledge of a dangerous situation, even by one who has the ability to intervene, is not sufficient to create a duty to act.
Id. at 8, 564 A.2d at 1248. See: Restatement (Second) of Torts, § 314.
In this case, appellant did not cause injury to the grandchildren by her own, affirmative conduct. The allegation, rather, was that she had failed to protect her husband's grandchildren from pedophilic tendencies of her husband of which she knew or should have known. At Section 315 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts, the applicable rule of law is recited as follows:
§"special relationship," as that term is defined in the Restatement, between appellant and the children that would impose upon appellant a duty to control the conduct of third persons who might harm the children. (Id. at 311, citing Restatement (Second) of Torts § 315 (1965) and sections referred to therein.) Having thus found no duty as a possessor of land, and no special relationship that imposes a duty, the majority finds no duty at all.
The concurring and dissenting opinion of Judge Olszewski, on the other hand, would find a duty based upon appellant's status as a possessor of land, but would limit that duty to a duty at most to warn the children licensees of the danger posed by their grandfather. (Concurring and dissenting opinion at 312-313.) Judge

She elaborated on the rigor of the double-blind, randomized, crossover design of the study: the order of the doses was randomized for the 50 participants, both participants and researchers did not know the dose of samples as they were being presented, and all participants received all dose treatments, thereby acting as their own controls to enable comparisons of their individual responses.

Russian jail in 2010. He was convicted in Russia of spying for Britain before he was granted refuge in the UK after a high-profile spy swap in 2010 between the United States and Russia.
Yulia is thought to be one of the few members of the former spy's immediate family still alive after his wife and son died in recent years.
Local convenience store manager Ebru Ozturk, who saw Skripal at his shop just days before the incident, told CNN that he was a "kind customer" who would usually come in once a week and buy Polish-smoked bacon and scratch-and-win lottery cards.
"He is (a) regular customer, he is so kind and he seems to me an educated person. Very polite," said Ozturk. "I don't talk too much to the customers,but he was, you know, one of the very kind customers."
Skripal, seen in a screengrab from convenience store Bargain Stop's CCTV footage.
'Outrageous affront'
The executive director of the Europe-wide police agency Europol, Rob Wainwright, described the use of a nerve agent to attack a former Russian spy in the UK as an "outrageous affront to our security in Europe and our way of life," but added that people should "exercise caution before jumping to any conclusions."
However, he said, "there are not 101 likely offenders," apparently a reference to the difficulty in producing nerve agent, which would limit the number of suspects with the ability to carry out the attack.

Many Indian words entered the English lexicon over the centuries and are in use in everyday discourse. ‘Hobson-Jobson’, a glossary published in 1886, included as many as 2000 entries of words and terms from Indian languages during the British ‘raj’.
Some of the commonly used words of Indian etymology are: loot, bungalow, avatar, mantra, chutney, cot, dacoit, dungaree, juggernaut, guru, pundit, khaki, jungle, nirvana, pukka, pyjamas, veranda, maharajah and punch.With the same enthusiasm as Behbud School at Saidpur village near Islamabad in Pakistan, children from the Fontaine School in Asnieres sur Seine near Paris met Foxy Shahzadi on December 11, 2009.

at least one in denim -- a departure from his first, a black-tie affair attended by more than 8,000.
The event capped a day of ceremony, with O'Malley's swearing-in and address in Annapolis.
The Saw Doctors, an Irish rock band, gave a repeat performance at the ball. And the usual suspects -- cabinet secretaries, county executives, lawmakers and administration and campaign staples -- made appearances.
In a heavily staged exchange, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake implored O'Malley to play a set with his band, O'Malley's March. The governor faux hemmed and hawed and then, no surprise, rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a guitar. (First lady Katie O'Malley told the crowd, "He's such a showboat.") His first song: Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line."

O'Malley takes oath, delivers inaugural remarks
Gov. MartinAnthony Brown will take part in what is billed as a "youth inaugural event" at the University of Maryland, College Park. High school students from across the state will meet with them to discuss challenges and opportunities for their future.
And finally, on Jan. 19, after the formal swearing-in in Annapolis, there will be a ball in Baltimore. Four years ago, O'Malley's inaugural ball drew more than 8,000 to the Baltimore Convention Center. This time around, about 3,000 are expected to attend. The venue, the 5th Regiment Armory in Baltimore, will be smaller, too.
O'Malley is currently emceeing an association lunch at the St. Regis Washington hotel. He spoke briefly, giving a somewhat nationalized version of his stump speech.
As DGA chairman, O'Malley now has the opportunity to expand his Rolodex

A man in San Antonio, Texas faces felony charges for allegedly stabbing his roommate numerous times for making too much noise while having sex.
Antonio Flores Narcisso, 42, was arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit felony force for the attack that allegedly happened on May 8.
The roommate was celebrating his 35th birthday by having sex with two women.
According to the arrest warrant, Narcisso kicked down the roommate's door to complain about the boisterous cries of passion, MySanAntonio.com reports.
When the roommate yelled at Narcisso to get out of the room, the suspect allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and proceeded to stab the alleged victim numerous times in the head, back and hands, CBS Houston reports.
The roommate was taken to a local hospitalOne expert said Friday that he was suspicious of claims of responsibility purportedly made by Islamists angry at an anti-Muslim movie made in the United States, explaining that the widely circulated Internet postings might have been an attempt to deflect attention from the true culprit.
"In the intelligence world, we call that a 'false flag,' " said Mike Smith, whose Web security company, Akamai, has helped analyze some of the attacks.
The postings, published to the Web earlier this month, suggested that an obscure Islamist group had taken revenge on American financial institutions for Innocence of Muslims, a low-budget film made in the United States that ridicules Muhammad, revered by Muslims as the last of God's prophets.

Patrick Warburton Set to Return in The Tick
Don t worry citizens, The Tick is back to save the day!
Broad-shouldered Patrick Warburton only sported his blue antennae for one season the first go-around, but the critically acclaimed superhero parody is now being revived on Amazon, a source tells PEOPLE.
Get push notifications with news, features and more.
The cult-classic series is based on a comic book by Ben Edlund and was first brought to television as an animated series that enjoyed three seasons of success in the mid 1990s. In early 2002, Fox canceled Warburton’s live-action version (which also starred a pre-Lost Nestor Carbonell) after just nine episodes.
But no one can stop The Tick from keeping watch overRanil Wickremesinghe said talks were under way to establish a credible domestic mechanism to investigate abuses during the decades-long conflict with Tamil separatist rebels that ended in May 2009."There is nothing to be got from abroad," Wickremesinghe said, after a damning UN report recommended Colombo allow international experts to assist its domestic investigation."The media says hybrid (inquiry), but it is not hybrid," said Wickremesinghe, after UN rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein asked the government to establish "a hybrid special court, integrating international judges, prosecutors, lawyers and investigators".Members of Sri Lanka's Tamil minority say they do not trust a local inquiry to reach the truth about the conflict, in which more than 100,000 people died.It ended in 2009 with the defeat of rebels who had waged a long

The U.S. State Department also confirmed that the relevent documents had been handed over to China.
The Chinese are now due to pass the papers to the U.S. State Department, which is then expected to announce that North Korea is off the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"The United States will implement its obligation to remove the designation of (North Korea) as a state sponsor of terrorism," said Wu Dawei, China's vice foreign minister, before the handover was announced.

After being attacked by a shark, a New Zealand doctor reportedly fought back with a knife, stitched his wound closed on the beach, then hit the pub for a beer before driving himself to the hospital on the weekend.
James Grant was spearfishing with friends when he felt a tug on his leg, he told the website news.com.au.
"(I thought) bugger, now I have to try and get this thing off my leg."
He had a knife in his hand that he used to stab at the animal — possibly a seven-gill shark — which eventually let go.
Grant made it back to shore where he saw the bites — up to 5 cm long. He used a first aid kit to give himself stitches before he and his friends went tocause for the large shift around 1996 was a change in atmospheric circulation, Tedesco said. The North Atlantic Oscillation, a large-scale natural weather cycle, went into a phase in which summer atmospheric conditions favored more incoming solar radiation and warmer, moist air from the south. Later records show those conditions shifted in 2013-2014 to favor less melting, but the damage was already done – the ice sheet had become more sensitive. In 2015, melting spiked again to reach more than half of the Greenland ice sheet.
While new snowfall can make the ice sheet brighter again, the dark material built up during the melt years is waiting just below the surface, preconditioning the surface to future melting, Tedesco said.
The scientists also ran a computer model to simulate the future

Germany was able to produce an artificial substitute for rubber,
"Buna." But the plans for its development and production were still stored away
in file cabinets. Only a small percentage of practical new inventions ever left
the records files.
Great public works projects were another way
to create new jobs, stimulate industrial activity, and revive the economy. For
one thing, Germany's mediocre roads needed vast improvement. Moreover, the
demands of the time called for the construction of a national network of modern
highways. Radiating thousands of kilometers, these great concrete lifelines
would encourage increased commerce and communication among the Reich's many
regions.
New highways would also encourage increased
automobile production. Considering the potential, Germany was still quite
backward in automobile production. It manufactured only one-fifth as many cars
as France.
Nearly ten years earlier, while in his prison
cell, Hitler had already envisioned aformidable system of national highways. He
had also conceived of a small, easily affordable automobile (later known as the
"Volkswagen"), and had even suggested its outline. It should have the shape of a
June bug, he proposed. Nature itself suggested the car's aerodynamic line.
Until Hitler came to power, a car was the
privilege of the rich. It was not financially within the reach of the middle
class, much less of the worker. The "Volkswagen," costing one-tenth as much as
the standard automobile of earlier years, would eventually become a popular work
vehicle and a source of pleasure after work: a way to unwind and get some fresh
air, and of discovering, thanks to the new Autobahn highway network, a
magnificent country that then, in its totality, was virtually unknown to the
German worker.
From the beginning, Hitler wanted this

new car to be built for the millions. The production works would also
become one of Germany's most important industrial centers and employers.
During his imprisonment, Hitler had also drawn
up plans for the construction of popular housing developments and majestic
public buildings.
Some of Hitler's rough sketches still survive.
They include groups of individual worker's houses with their own gardens (which
were to be built in the hundreds of thousands), a plan for a covered stadium in
Berlin, and a vast congress hall, unlike any other in the world, that would
symbolize the grandeur of the National Socialist revolution.
"A building with a monumental dome," historian
Werner Maser has explained, "the plan of which he drew while he was writing Mein
Kampf, would have a span of 46 meters, a height of 220 meters, a diameter of 250
meters, anda capacity of 150 to 190 thousand people standing. The interior of
the building would have been 17 times larger than Saint Peter's Cathedral in
Rome." (W. Maser, Hitler, Adolf, p. 100.)
Hitler's imagination, therefore, had long been
teeming with a number of ambitious projects, many of which would eventually be
realized.
Fortunately, the needed entrepreneurs,
managers and technicians were on hand. Hitler would not have to improvise.
Historian Werner Maser, although quite
anti-Hitler - like nearly all of his colleagues (how else would they have found
publishers?) - has acknowledged: "From the beginning of his political career, he
[Hitler] took great pains systematically to arrange for whatever he was going to
need in order to carry out his plans."
"Hitler was distinguished," Maser has also
noted, "by an exceptional intelligence in technical matters." Hitler had
acquired his knowledge by devoting many thousands

regained their vigor,
and had been returned to the national community.
Hitler's popularity took on some astonishing,
indeed comical, aspects. "A brand of canned herring," Joachim Fest relates, "was
called 'Good Adolf.' Coin banks were made in the form of SA caps. Bicarbonate of
soda was recommended with the advertising slogan 'My Struggle (Mein Kampf)
against flatulence'! Pictures of Hitler appeared on neckties, handkerchiefs,
pocket mirrors, and the swastika decorated ash trays and beer mugs, or served as
an advertisement for a brand of margarine." Annoyed by such fawning (and
exploitative) use of his name, and the emblem of his party, Hitler ordered that
it be discontinued immediately.
The economic and social transformation of the
Reich impressed observers no less than the political transformation wrought by
the leader of National Socialism. Gottfried Benn, Germany's greatest poet of
that era - and awere Hitler's words on the night of
January 30, 1933, as cheering crowds surged past him, for five long hours,
beneath the windows of the Chancellery in Berlin.
His political struggle had lasted 14 years. He
himself was 43, that is, physically and intellectually at the peak of his
powers. He had won over millions of Germans and organized them into Germany's
largest and most dynamic political party, a party girded by a human rampart of
hundreds of thousands of storm troopers, three fourths of them members of the
working class. He had been extremely shrewd. All but toying with his
adversaries, Hitler had, one after another, vanquished them all.
Standing there at the window, his arm raised
to the delirious throng, he must have known a feeling of triumph. But he seemed
almost torpid, absorbed, as if lost in

one after another, for lack of orders, thereby sending thousands more
unemployed into the streets. In 1932, Germany's industries were languishing,
their production reduced by half.
Yearly private investment had fallen from
three billion marks to barely 500 million. No new blood had been injected into
the industrial system, no workplaces modernized. The economy stagnated.
The government not only lacked any new
initiatives, it was almost bankrupt. Fiscal receipts had fallen to ten billion
marks, of which the meager and short-term unemployment benefits alone absorbed
two thirds.
Germany couldn't wait for a business upswing
to get the economy moving again. As Hitler had long understood, the government
had to bring economic renewal by bold action and imaginative enterprise.
Unemployment could be combated and eliminated
only by giving industry the financial means to start up anew, to modernize, thus
creating millions of new jobs.
Thenew inventions ever left

"Hitler was distinguished," Maser has also
noted, "by an exceptional intelligence in technical matters." Hitler had
acquired his knowledge by devoting many thousands of hours to technical studies
from the time of his youth.
"Hitler read an endless number of books,"
explained Dr. Schacht. "He acquired a very considerable amount of knowledge and
made masterful use ofit in discussions and speeches. In certain respects he was
a man endowed with genius. He had ideas that no one else would ever have thought
of, ideas that resulted in the ending of great difficulties, sometimes by
measures of an astonishing simplicity or brutality."
Many billions of marks would be needed to
begin the great socioeconomic revolution that was destined, as Hitler had always
inted, to make Germany once again the European leader in industry and commerce
and, most urgently, to rapidly wipe out unemployment in Germany. Where would the
money be found? And, once obtained, how would these funds be allotted to ensure
maximum effectiveness in their investment?
Hitler was by no means a dictator in matters
of the economy. He was, rather, a stimulator. His government would undertake to
do only that which private initiative could not.

had no fear of
such secret ballot plebiscites because the German people invariably supported
him.
From the first months of 1933, his
accomplishments were public fact, for all to see. Before end of the year,
unemployment in Germany had fallen from more than 6,000,000 to 3,374,000. Thus,
2,627,000 jobs had been created since the previous February, when Hitler began
his "gigantic task!" A simple question: Who in Europe ever achieved similar
results in so short a time?
More than two and a half million working-class
homes once again knew bread and joy; more than ten million men, women and
children of the working class, after years of want, had regained their vigor,
and had been returned to the national community.
Hitler's popularity took on some astonishing,
indeed comical, aspects. "A brand of canned herring," Joachim Fest relates, "was

a habitually spoken language.
Outside of the traditional Romansh language area, Romansh is spoken by the so-called "Romansh diaspora", meaning people who have moved out of the Romansh-speaking valleys. A significant number are found in the capital of Grisons, Chur, as well as in Swiss cities outside of Grisons.
Current distribution
The current situation of Romansh is quite well researched. The number of speakers is known through the Swiss censuses, with the most recent having taken place in 2000, in addition to surveys by the Radio e Televisiun Rumantscha. The quantitative data from these surveys was summed up by statistician Jean-Jacques Furer in 2005. In addition, linguist Regula Cathomas performed a detailed survey of everyday language use, published in 2008.
Virtually all Romansh-speakers today are bilingual in Romansh and German. WhereasExamples include der Brot 'the bread' or der Gäld 'the money'. Common words of Romansh origin in Grisons-German include Schaffa (derived from Romansh scaffa 'cupboard'), Spus/Spüslig 'bridegroom' and Spus 'bride', Banitsch 'cart used for moving dung', and Pon 'container made of wood'. In areas where Romansh either is still spoken or has disappeared recently, Romansh words are even more common in the local dialects of German.
Attitudes towards language contact
The influence of German has been seen in different ways by linguists and language activists. The Italian dialectologist Ascoli for instance described Romansh as "a body that has lost its soul and taken on an entirely foreign one in its place" in the 1880s. This opinion was shared by many, who saw the influence of German as a threat

On November 8, 1990, Carrier sent a letter to William McDaniel stating that his firm was being terminated as counsel for Carrier due to its handling of the underlying litigation. Plaintiff's exhibit 78. Carrier subsequently hired the firm of Bradley, Arant, Rose & White to represent it in these matters. John Morrow was the attorney of record. Home would not agree to terminating McDaniel and allowed him to continue representing the interests of Carrier for purposes of trying the underlying suits.
A few days prior to the trial date, Eckenrode authorized Morrissey to attempt to settle the cases for $5,000,000.00. On November 28, 1990, Eckenrode andWinkler would require payment of Harco's policy limits, "if and when they (Harco) wanted to settle it." Trial transcript, pages 2407 (source of quoted material); also see trial transcript page 2405. On July 23, 1990, Gantt sent a letter to Marsh which stated that due to the complexity of the case and Harco's ongoing evaluation of it, Harco could not respond to Marsh's settlement offer within the designated seven days. Plaintiff's exhibit 43. Gantt testified that he would not have changed his recommendation against tender in the summer of 1990 even had Carrier tendered its limits at that time.

"You always have those guys in the playoffs, and he seems to be having that confidence."
Marc Savard scored for the Bruins, who have lost three straight since sweeping Montreal in the first round and winning the opener against Carolina.

Thomas finished with 27 saves for the Bruins, who were out to prove they still had plenty of fight left in them after losing their previous two. David Krejci seemed to personify that, pancaking Jokinen in front of Thomas just 3 1/2 minutes in.
That collision drew a roughing minor that ultimately backfired on the Bruins.
Moments after Ward stuffed P.J. Axelsson on a breakaway, Staal snapped a shot on net - Carolina's first of the night - from the right circle, and it trickled past Thomas.

the men have managed to form a makeshift family.
American translator Rushan Abbas, who alternated yesterday between typing emails to their U.S. lawyers and kneading dough for a traditional Uighur dinner, joked that despite only being a few years older she considered the men her children.
Abbas worked for U.S. interrogators translating with Uighur detainees when she first started at Guantanamo in 2002.
Then she "switched sides," she said, and started working for defence attorneys. She came here for a few days to make the transition smoother since Abdulqadir and Mamut know only limited English, and the other two men, Salahidin Abdulahat and Ablikim Turahun, don't understand at all.
The men also have the assistance of a retired Bermudian army major, Glenn Brangman, who now works with the government. With his boomingvoice and hibiscus-patterned surf shorts, Brangman has become their energetic guide.
Two weeks ago the scene for these men in Camp Iguana – the U.S. military's name for the prison where they were detained in Guantanamo – couldn't have been more different. On June 1, Abdulqadir approached a small group of journalists during a rare unscripted moment in a prison where the message is tightly controlled.
"Who's in charge?" Abdulqadir asked, as reporters, including one from the Star, stood mute on the other side of the fence due to rules that forbid communication between journalists and prisoners.
Abdulqadir and another detainee then quickly displayed a sketch pad where they'd written their message in crayon, managing to pull off the detention centre's first public protest.
"We need to freedom (sic)," said one page.
