he puts the party in a very, very bad place.
"I think if he does what he should do, does the right thing and steps aside, I don't think it will hurt the Republican Party," said Sen. John Thune, a member of Senate GOP leadership.
The problem for Senate Republicans is that they have next-to-no leverage on Moore. Senate Republicans who weighed in overwhelmingly chose Sen. Luther Strange over Moore in the GOP race to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions' unexpired term. Moore won without them, running as a nationalist, populist along the lines of President Trump. (Trump endorsed Strange at the behest of McConnell but made clear that he was very unhappy he had picked the wrong horse following Moore's win.)
McConnell isn't likely to simply dial up Moore and'Vicious assault' injures two men in Vacaville
A fight in downtown Vacaville that police called a "vicious assault" left two men injured and one behind bars Tuesday night, authorities reported.
Dargye Karma, a 32-year-old Vacaville man, was taken into custody by officers in connection to an attack on three men that occurred just before midnight as they walked down Main Street, according to the Vacaville Police Department.
Authorities said the three victims were in town visiting family and friends and had been drinking at a bar on Main Street. They left the bar and as they began walking down the street, were confronted by a group of four or five men who witnesses described as Hispanic or Asian.
A fight ensued and the
three victims, whose names

of smoking is low, and mainly a habit of higher socioeconomic groups. In the second stage, the prevalence of smoking among men increases and is similar in different socioeconomic groups. The spread of smoking among women lags 10--20 years behind that of men, and the habit is adopted first by women in the higher socioeconomic group. In the third stage, the prevalence of smoking among men decreases, as men begin to quit smoking, especially those in the higher socioeconomic group while the prevalence among women reaches a ceiling. At the end of this stage a reduction in smoking begins to be observed among women. Finally in the fourth stage, the prevalence of smoking slowly decreases both among men and women, and smoking becomes a habit concentrated mainly insmoke daily was lower among men with higher education, but this was not the case for women \[[@B15]\]. In 2006, smoking was less common among men and women with higher education \[[@B16]\]. However, there were only two time points in Estonian Health Interview Survey, this was interview based survey and the age group was not exactly the same like in this study.
Thus, in 1990, Estonia was in the beginning of third stage of cigarette smoking model, where there were no educational differences in daily smoking among men and women. In 2010, Estonia was fitting the middle of third stage of the cigarette smoking model, where smoking was lower among both genders with higher education, but there existed lag in adoption of this between men and women.

celebrations in Paris, when the obelisk at the Place de la Concorde was crowned with a golden pyramid, the Egyptian culture minister announced that a similar ceremony would take place at the Great Pyramid of Giza for the millennium celebrations:
"We cannot rebuild the pyramids stone by stone," said Farouk Hosni, "so we have chosen a symbolic event like the ancient Egyptians did when they used to cap obelisks like what the French did at the Place de la Concorde".
Later in October 1998 the Farouk Hosni announced that French composer Jean-Michel Jarre was to organise this event at Giza. The official Egyptian Tourist Authorities announced that Jean-Michel Jarre would compose a 12-hour opera titled "The Twelve Dreams of the Sun" for the sum of 10 million US dollars andthat,
"At midnight a helicopter will fly into the site and, hovering in a starburst of lasers and spotlights, will place a gigantic gilded capstone atop the Great Pyramid --all to the accompaniment of what is expected to be an unprecedented Jarre crescendo of electronic music. The gold cap, approximately 28 feet high (about the size of a two-story house) is being especially constructed to protect the pyramid structure. In place, it will catch the first light of the new millennium as the sun rises over Egypt. Capping pyramids with gold and timing important events to the setting and rising sun are very much part of the ancient Egyptian pharaonic tradition, making this piece of Jarre theatre particularly meaningful."
In 1989 Jean-Michele Jarre had organised a quasi-similar event in Paris

give Canada an economic head start on carving out market share ahead of the remaining five countries who were in the agreement.
The deal was salvaged after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out after he was sworn into the Oval Office last January.
Canada was able to win exemptions on digital content, but the government has faced heavy criticism from Canadian auto workers and manufacturers for signing side deals with Japan, Australia and Malaysia on automobiles.
A Senate committee that studied the legislation said in its report released Thursday that the government needed to ensure domestic companies "maximize the benefits" of the agreement.
The Liberals must also lay out ways to offset the "potentially adverse impacts" of the trade deal, including helping workers and companies hit hard by the newcompetition from around and across the Pacific, the committee said.
And the committee had a key point for the government that may serve as a warning for parliamentary review of the new North American free trade deal, known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
"The committee understands the importance for Canada to be one of the first six ratifying countries of the CPTPP. Nevertheless, it reiterates that parliamentarians require sufficient time to study comprehensive, complex and technical (free trade agreements) implementing legislation."

Even before Richard Sherman made himself a household name with a fuming post-game rant following the NFC Championship game, the Seattle Seahawks still had plenty of star power. Their 25-year-old quarterback Russell Wilson has quickly become one of the league's most recognizable faces in his second season. Their veteran running back Marshawn Lynch has been among the NFL's most endearing characters ever since the play now known as the Beast Quake. Sherman led a defensive unit that finished No. 1 in the league while hitting hard and playing fast.

With so much glamorOpTic Gaming vs Cloud9
Cloud9 ("C9") really brought the heat in the first match of the day up against OpTic Gaming ("OPT"). They played extremely fast and brutally dominated OPT through the early game. C9 caught out and killed Big for First Blood, then Nisqy killed Crown right after. From here, it became an absolute massacre. There was over a kill a minute for a while, as C9 moved around the map and killed every single OPT member. Crown suffered the most as C9 ganked him several times and he dropped six kills quickly.
OPT did manage to show some signs of life though. Dhokla had two fantastic fights, one in the bottom lane and another top, where he killed multiple C9 members to give OPT some hope. But C9

During the mid-game, both teams caught out and killed multiple members. There wasn't a ton of impactful action between 20 and 30 minutes, but at 32 minutes it kicked back off. Here, 100T killed one CLG member in a team fight and turned towards Baron. They burned it down but PowerOfEvil stole it away! In response, 100T killed two from CLG and ran down mid.

Of course, guys who didn't play as good as Bennett also had a ton of success with the slants and games up front. Seattle's other defensive end Cliff Avril also had a huge day, and it was this designed movement from the edge that was the final key to shutting down Peterson.

Written By THA on Tuesday, 5 June 2012 | 18:20
Archaeologists in Bulgaria have unearthed two skeletons from the Middle Ages pierced through the chest with iron rods to keep them from turning into vampires, the head of the history museum said.
"These two skeletons stabbed with rods illustrate a practice which was common in some Bulgarian villages up until the first decade of the 20th century," said national history museum chief Bozhidar Dimitrov after the recent find in the Black Sea town of Sozopol.
According to pagan beliefs, people who were considered bad during their lifetimes might turn into vampires after death unless stabbed in the chest with an iron or wooden rod before being buried.
People believed the rod would also pin them down in their

Another historic speed record was set on the return trip to the United States. Capt Harold B. Adams, 31 (pilot), and Major William Machorek, 32 (reconnaissance systems operator), set a speed record from London to Los Angeles. They returned the Blackbird 5,447 statute miles in 3 hours 47 minutes and 39 seconds for an average speed of 1,435 miles per hour. The difference in the two speed records was due to refueling requirements and having to slow over major US cities. Even so a large number of people in Los Angeles reported broken windows due to the sonic boom.

A man dubbed 'Russia’s worst ever serial killer' who is convicted of 78 murders of women may have up to 30 more victims, it is alleged.
Mikhail Popkov, 55, was found guilty of 22 murders then another 56 in which he attacked his victims with axes, hammers, knives, screwdrivers and spades.
The married ex-policeman nicknamed ‘The Werewolf’ committed his crimes over an 18 year period.
Popkov raped most of the women aged 18 to 50 before butchering them between 1992 to 2010.
He confessed he led a double life - one as a husband and father and another where he committed murders.
Popkov, from Angarsk in Siberia, is due to start a life sentence for the mass killings.
The 'maniac' will be imminently sent to one of Russia’s high security jails from which heof her difficulty in believing her “loving father” was a bloodthirsty killer and rapist.
Popkov confessed: "I had a double-life.
"In one life I was an ordinary person, I was in the service in the police, having positive feedback on my work.
"I had a family. My wife and daughter considered me a good husband and father, which corresponded to reality.
"In my other life I committed murders, which I carefully concealed from everyone, realising that this was a criminal offence.
"My wife and daughter never knew about the crimes I committed and did not even suspect this.”

"civil uprising is still not out of question."
The current crop of leaders, he said, must face a "demand resignation" process, which he explained requires massive grassroots protests and social networking which he envisions can be undertaken through his organization. And example of a "forced resignation," he said, was that of President Richard Nixon.
"Our federal government continues down the path of destroying America," Vallely said. "Americans must now stand up and put America back on the right track."
Workable solution
Vallely and Jones in their paper say "The Americans" leadership has developed workable solutions to "help solve and fix what has without question stunted our nation's ability to clearly, legally and peacefully function as a constitutional republic."
"Honest, selfless political leadership is the first key to America's economic and debt recovery andsecure future for all citizens and their children," they say. "That means voters must band together and vote for positive 'America first' leadership rather than self-serving greed and corruption within the two major political parties that have for decades and are now rapidly tearing the United States of America apart."
In their paper, Vallely and Jones call for adherence to the Constitution with strict congressional oversight of all executive actions.
In an apparent reference to the cutback in overall U.S. military readiness, they call for a strong national defense but stipulate that "in no way" would the U.S. military ever be used against U.S. citizens, a reference to a growing concern among many Americans.

Colombia troops kill ELN rebels during kidnap search Published duration 8 October 2011
image caption The girl was kidnapped in a town near the Venezuelan border
The Colombian army says it has killed five suspected ELN rebels during a search for a kidnapped girl near the Venezuelan border.
Troops also clashed with guerrillas from the Farc - Colombia's main left-wing rebel group.
The fighting happened outside the town of Fortul, where 10-year-old Nohora Munoz was abducted last week.
A huge operation is underway to try to find the girl, whose kidnapping has caused a national outcry.
Another suspected ELN guerrilla was wounded in the fighting, and weapons and explosives were captured, local army commander Gen Jaime Reyes said.
"Like all Colombians, we want the child to be returned to her family," the general told thethe British Open. The Denver Athletic Club continues to hold a Hashim Khan squash tournament in his honour every year.
Personal life
Hashim Khan had a total of 12 children. His eldest son Sharif Khan became a player on the North American hardball squash circuit in the 1970s, winning a record 12 North American Open titles. Six other sons – Aziz, Gulmast, Liaqat Ali ("Charlie"), Salim ("Sam"), Shaukat, and Mo – also became hardball squash players.

Despite Increased Pledges, Commitment To Global Fund Not Enough
"Even in the midst of an economic downturn, the United States and other donors have increased their pledges to a global fund that is fighting three of the world's most devastating infectious diseases. Unfortunately, the money will not be nearly enough to meet the rising health needs in developing countries," states a New York Times editorial. "No other donor nation came close to" the U.S. percentage increase, according to the editorial, which notes the U.S. pledge of "$4 billion over three years, a 38 percent increase over the preceding three years."
Unless additional financing can be found, the editorial continues, "[m]illions of livesnothing will change. You’ll just bring the old neighborhood with you.”

The Mendiolas returned to the United States on March 25, 1994.
3
On March 31, 1997, the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") issued orders to show cause ("OSCs") against the Mendiolas. After a hearing, the Immigration Judge ("IJ") granted the applications for suspension of deportation. The IJ reasoned that because the Mendiolas had been present in the United States since 1983 — a continuous period of more than seven years — before they traveled to Mexico in 1993-94, they were eligible for relief.
4
The INS appealed to the BIA, and the BIA reversed. The BIA held that the Mendiolas had failed to establish continuous physical presence for the seven years "immediately preceding" the issuance of the OSCs because their trip to Mexico was for a period that exceeded 90 days. Seeknots but the sky remained cloudless, typical conditions for the Cape's notorious 'southerly busters', and he grew convinced that no yachts would be out day-sailing in such weather. Meanwhile a steady stream of tankers and freighters was passing him; his MIK flags were flying and now Moitessier worried that they would all report his position and course – north, apparently Cape Town-bound – to Lloyd's, confusing the _Sunday Times_ and his friends and family about his intentions.
One small freighter was slowly overhauling him and he saw that it would pass close by his starboard side. Close enough perhaps for him to throw his package aboard. It was a gamble: a ship of any size – another yacht even – can blanket a sailboat's wind and render it unmanoeuvrable,

The former football star's prison violations fall under four categories.
Prison tattoos
Shortly after he was sentenced to life in prison, Hernandez surprised onlookers when he appeared in court on May 21, 2015, bearing a new tattoo on his neck. The text: "Lifetime Loyalty."
That tattoo was a surprise to prison officials, too, when they discovered it a week earlier, according to the report.
This tattoo and another were among Hernandez's prison violations.
Hernandez pleaded guilty to being tattooed while incarcerated, a violation of prison policy.
He got another tattoo on the right side of his neck in July of that year, and was punished again.
Smoking offenses
A toxicology report after Hernandez's death found that he had no drugs in his system. Still, he had faced tobacco-related offenses before, according tothe disciplinary report.
Video surveillance showed Hernandez smoking tobacco product from a homemade cigarette and then passing it to another unnamed person on July 24, 2015. He was found guilty of possessing tobacco products for that offense.
In another incident more than a year later, Hernandez twice failed to pass through a metal detector and was strip searched. Prison officers found a prison-made lighter concealed in the waistband of his scrubs, according to the report.
"The homemade lighter was constructed of (redacted)," the offense report states. "These homemade lighter are used by inmates to smoke (redacted)."
An unauthorized phone call
On May 16, 2015, offense reports show Hernandez used another prisoner's telephone calling card pin number to place a 14-minute call. The incident was all caught on a surveillance camera.

and kiosks that are set up to sell everything from arts, crafts, and clothing to fast food. The chrome-and-glass storefronts are unfinished, vacant except for the pus-yellow spores that have overrun this sector of the ecotecture.
"They've spread," Hjert notes.
Rexx slows to a stop near an aggregate of spores. "How fast?" He withdraws a biopsy needle from the kangaroo pocket clipped to the front of his biosuit.
Hjert eyes the needle and hangs back, staying well out of his way. "Yesterday there were maybe half what you see now."
Rexx moves his face to within a couple of centimeters of one sporoid, which is vaguely human shaped. Oblong, swollen, with stubby arms, legs, and head, but split down the middle.
Bread of the dead.
He shakes his head—the place has got him spooked—raisesminute, almost as an afterthought, he turns to snap his fingers at L. Mariachi and flip him off all in one gesture.
End of interrogation.
"What can you tell me about 'SoulR Byrne'?"
L. Mariachi blinks. Sees the expectant face of a young woman leaning in toward him from the inside of his wraparounds. She looks familiar. A face out of memory, but blurred. Dreamlike. Like their surroundings . . . a café in Mexico City, not far from the ap he lived in during his Daily Bred days.
"Well? . . ." the woman prompts. She's doing a short infobyte for a blog she posts on a popular netzine. Digit Alice. He agreed to talk to her. Promote the band, lay the groundwork for the next offering of Daily Bred.

out that it is the poorer married men who will suffer most,
"from 2, 3, to 800_l._ a year, and more, have no coaches, yet
keep a stable of hunters (the worst of which would purchase
my equipage) and a pack of hounds, whom this duty will not
affect?"
But the bill was passed, and so we must suppose that our clergyman and
his farmer friends were forced to walk to church.
Some verses printed in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ at this time may also
be quoted as reflecting the general opinion about the bill.
"Before Bohemian _Anne_ was Queen,
Astride their steeds were ladies seen;
ingenuity and craftsmanship was capable of
bringing it. No effort was spared to make the mail or road-coach the
best possible conveyance of its kind, and in retaining the model of a
former age the modern coachbuilder confesses his inability to improve
upon the handiwork of his progenitors."
It is curious to note, by the way, that for a short time such coaches
were hardly made at all, and the Report on the carriages shown at the
London Exhibition of 1862 speaks of the "revival of an almost obsolete
carriage, the four-in-hand coach, which had taken place within a
few years." This was undoubtedly due to the founding in 1856 of the
Four-in-Hand Driving Club.
Nor was this revival confined to England. In the official _Reports
upon Carriages_ at the Paris Exhibition of 1878, Mr. G. F. Budd draws

First annual report highlights positive steps towards a more fair environment for staff and stakeholders
The Auditor General for Wales' report detailing the Wales Audit Office's progress towards compliance with the Equality Act, published today, sets out the steps taken to meet the statutory equality duties and embed equality principles into the way the WAO works.
Among the year's notable achievements were the launch of the Equality Compliance project to assist the Auditor General in the delivery of his obligations under the general duty, and the establishment of an Equality Steering Group to oversee the overall direction of the Equality Compliance Project.

"What to do during the Midnight Sun and on Polar Nights has been a big point of debate for us," says Sandra Maryam Moe, deputy director of Alnor. Her husband, Andrew Ibrahim Wenhem, is the mosque's registrar, overseeing the legal paperwork of marriages, divorces and deaths. "We finally asked a shaykh in Saudi Arabia, and he gave us a fatwa [instruction] with three choices: Follow the timetable of Makkah, follow the timetable of the nearest city that does have a sunrise or sunset, or estimate the time and set a fixed schedule. We decided to follow Makkah for the part of Ramadan that falls under the Midnight Sun or Polar Nights, and then, for the other times, we followtables on any given night reflects the diversity of the community: Somali samosas, Iraqi pilaf, Finnish pasta salad, Norwegian cakes. Although Alnor members come together to be family in one sense, their exposure to new cultures goes beyond the obvious encounters with Norwegian ways and people.
"Are you speaking Palestinian together?" a newly arrived Pakistani woman asks two Palestinian women she has just met. They explain with smiles that, no, their language is Arabic—although there is much Norwegian and English tossed in.
After eating together, Sandra, Hakima and 10 other women form a line, facing southeast toward Makkah, shoulder-to-shoulder in the sparsely furnished prayer room.

When asked what his friends at school think of his fasting, he smiles. "They think it's cool that I can do all my sports training without drinking any water or eating."
Top and above: Maisoon and Belal Al Jabri both came to Tromsø from Syria for the opportunities its university offered in medicine—and they spent two years mastering Norwegian. One day, says Belal, "I'd like to see a first-class research center in Aleppo."
While working nights, Hakima realized she wasn't spending enough time with her boys as they approached their teen years. She now studies bioengineering at the University of Tromsø,and she hopes to earn her master's degree one day.
The University of Tromsø—yes, it is the northernmost university in the world— is the largest employer in the city and the reason Tromsø's population has doubled since it opened in 1973. "Because of the Gulf Stream, we are very different from other places in this latitude," says professor emeritus Randi Rønning Balsvik. "We have relatively mild weather—the average January temperature is minus five degrees centigrade (23°F)— so we have always been a center for ship repair and trade, especially seal hunting and fish freezing and canning, but those industries have crumbled. We now have a knowledge industry. We're a center for high-tech and medical research, particularly biological marine research."

According to a 1917 FDA decision, only sturgeon roe can be legally labeled caviar without a qualifier (such as "lumpfish crapola"), and the unqualified real thing's all Flûte sells. However, along with beluga, osetra, and sevruga -- so called from the three different varieties of Caspian Sea sturgeon from which the caviar comes -- are two unusual offerings, farmed French baerii and American transmontanus. The latter pair are both especially intriguing, as Caspian sturgeon have been in bad shape since the Soviet Union's dissolution due to phenomenally increased unpoliced poaching and black marketing as well as pollution; beluga sturgeon are close to extinction. So my environmentally concerned dining partner and I taste-tested the French and U.S. contenders.
The Royal transmontanus was a revelation.Developed over the past eighteen years by Stolt Sea Farm in northern California, from a white sturgeon species closely related to the Caspian osetra sturgeon, the U.S. caviar was fully equal in quality to the best imported osetra. Mid-sized between beluga and osetra, the transmontanus had osetra's firmer-than-beluga texture and its classic pronounced rich yet clean, nutty flavor, plus some unique complexities all its own: hints of fruity and/or herbal sweetness that made the U.S. roe's brine tang seem not so much sealike as winelike.
Less uniquely complex but almost equally wonderful was the Royal French baerii, a sevruga ringer for understandable reasons: It was developed from Siberian sturgeon and farmed in conditions identical to native waters. Of the three Caspian caviars, sevruga are the smallest and have the

The first "Jurassic Park" film celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and got a 3-D re-releasein theaters last month.
"In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release 'Jurassic Park 4' at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal's beloved franchise. We could not be more excited about the vision that Colin Trevorrow has created for this film, and we look forward to watching as he and the producers create another great chapter in this franchise's storied history."The Northwest Connecticut Economic Development Corporation is organized in order to develop a vehicle for the public and private sectors to channel their resources for the purpose of achieving job creation, strengthening the tax base and improving the economic well being of the region.

The Coast Guard interdicted the 29 Cuban migrants during three separate cases since May 2.
At 12:25 p.m. May 5, a good Samaritan spotted five male Cuban migrants aboard a rustica about 15 miles south of Key West, Fla., and contacted the Coast Guard. The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Key Biscayne responded and interdicted the migrants without incident. Three of those migrants were transferred to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for further processing.
Around midnight May 4, an Air Station Miami HU-25 Falcon jet crew spotted a 27-foot pleasure craft being towed by a good Samaritan with 26 Cuban migrants and three suspected smugglers aboard. The migrants consisted of 18 men, six women, three children and two infants aboard the vessel, which was

sensibilities and warped minds that were behind the creation of Bad Santa and centered around an eccentrically wonderful performance by Jim Carrey, the film relates a story that is truly stranger than fiction and showcases a love story that will not be denied. When a local Texas policeman, Steve Russell (Carrey), turns to cons and fraud to allow him to change his lifestyle (in more ways than one), his subsequent stay in the state penitentiary results in his meeting the love of his life, a sensitive fellow inmate named Phillip Morris, perfectly portrayed by Ewan McGregor. What ensues can only be described as a relentless quest as Russell attempts escape after escape and executes con after con, all in the name of love.

In the beginning of June 2007, American Ambassador Richard Jones met with Yadlin following violent clashes between Fatah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
According to a cable sent from the embassy to Washington, Yadlin ranked Gaza as Israel's fourth largest threat – after Iran Syria and Hezbollah
The military intelligence chief, who recently retired and was highly esteemed among Israel's political and military echelons, underrated Iran's involvement in the Strip "as long as they have no (air or sea) port."

Prosecutors have until Aug. 5 to decide whether to charge Campos. That's the same day as the chamber's highly regarded Sabor event, the Hispanic counterpart to the Taste of Colorado celebration. It is an annual networking and fundraising event held at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Jeff Campos was arrested two weeks before the metro Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's large summer fundraiser. (Denver Police)
Hispanic Chamber officials did not comment Tuesday. As word of the arrest spread, however, chamber secretary Michael Ferrufino, sales manager at KBNO 1280AM radio, said he was "saddened" by the news.
Spokeswoman Bridget Richards would only confirm Campos' suspension and that the chamber was "committed to serving its membership."
Several business leaders said they were shocked by Campos' arrest.
Lindita Torres-Winters, chairwoman of the Latina Chamber and president of Lindita'sInc., said Campos was "personable" and "very well-respected" in the business community.
Campos has been president of the chamber since 2005. He was in the insurance business before taking the helm at the chamber, Colorado's second largest.
Public records reflect little contact with police except for minor traffic offenses.
A native Chicagoan who grew up on the city's southside, Campos went on to play ice hockey at Loyola University. An avid sports fan and son of Mexican immigrants, Campos carved a successful career in the insurance sector, first with American Family insurance, overseeing its six-state mountain region, then with New York Life as a partner of its Denver office.
He took over the chamber at a time of dwindling membership, when Hispanic businesses were the fastest-growing segment of the national economy.

effects of a high sea and heavy gale.
I said, that "I do not think the bay adjacent to Cape Horn is that which was named by D'Arquistade, 'St. Francis,' and, if my supposition is correct, Port Maxwell is not the place which was called 'St. Bernard's Cove.'"
If the modern chart be compared with that issued by the Admiralty a few years ago, published by Faden in 1818, it will be seen that the particular plan of St. Francis Bay, given in Faden's chart, agrees much better with the west side of Nassau Bay than with any other place; and that the "remarkable island, like a castle," noticed in the plan, is evidently "Packsaddle Island," of the modern chart. The rough sketch of land towards the north and east,diminutive trysails oppressed the vessel too much, and they were still farther reduced. Soon after one, the sea had risen to a great height, and I was anxiously watching the successive waves, when three huge rollers approached, whose size and steepness at once told me that our sea-boat, good as she was, would be sorely tried. Having steerage way, the vessel met and rose over the first unharmed, but, of course, her way was checked; the second deadened her way completely, throwing her off the wind; and the third great sea, taking her right a-beam, turned her so far over, that all the lee bulwark, from the cat-head to the stern davit, was two or three feet under water.

and discussion; and that, occasionally, individuals have exceeded the common height. Speaking of Cangapol, whose chief resort was the vicinity of the river Negro, though he and his tribe were restless wanderers, Falkner says—"This chief, who was called by the Spaniards the 'Cacique bravo,' was very tall and well proportioned. He must have been seven feet and some inches in height, because, on tiptoe, I could not reach to the top of his head. I was very well acquainted with him, and went some journeys in his company. I do not recollect ever to have seen an Indian that was above an inch or two taller than Cangapol. His brother, Sausimian, was but about six feet high. The Patagonians are a large-bodied people; but I never heard ofthat gigantic race which others have mentioned, though I have seen persons of all the different tribes of southern Indians." In another place he says, "there is not a part of all this extremity of the continent that some of these wandering nations do not travel over frequently." Of their wanderings, many persons besides myself and those with me can bear witness. Patagonians, who were personally known by officers of the Beagle, were seen by them at the Spanish (now the Buenos Ayrean) settlement, Del Carmen, near the mouth of the river Negro, in September 1832; and by Mr. Low, at their usual abode, near the Strait of Magalhaens, in February 1833.

"During the time that the ceremony of making the skeleton lasts, the Indians, covered with long mantles of skins, and their faces blackened with soot, walk round the tent, with long poles or lances in their hands, singing in a mournful tone of voice, and striking the ground, to frighten away the Valichus,
or evil spirits. Some go to visit and console the widow, or widows, and other relations of the dead, that is, if there is any thing to be got; for nothing is done but with a view of interest. During this visit of condolence they cry, howl, and sing in the most dismal manner; straining out tears, and pricking their arms and thighs with sharp thorns, to make thembleed. For this shew of grief they are paid with glass beads, brass cascabels and such like baubles, which are in high estimation among them. The horses of the dead are also immediately killed, that he may have wherewithal to ride upon in the 'alhue mapu,' or country of the dead, reserving only a few to grace the last funeral pomp, and to carry the relics to their proper sepulchres.
"When they remove the bones of their dead, they pack them up together in a hide, and place them upon one of the deceased's favourite horses, kept alive for that purpose, which they adorn after their best fashion, with mantles, feathers, &c., and travel in this manner, though it be to the distance of three hundred leagues, till they

Indians encamp, march, or travel from one place to another, to hunt or make war. He frequently summons them to his tent, and harangues them upon their behaviour; the exigencies of the time; the injuries they have received; the measures to be taken, &c. In these harangues, he always extols his own prowess and personal merit. When eloquent, he is greatly esteemed; and when a cacique is not endowed with that accomplishment, he generally has an orator, who supplies his place" (as in Polynesia).
"In cases of importance he calls a council of the principal Indians and wizards, with whom he consults about the measures to be taken, to defend himself or attack his enemies. In a general war, when many nations unite against a common enemy, as inbut at night examine every detail most minutely, and return to the camp with a full account of their opponent's strength and position. When the moon is near, or a little past the full, showing good light for their work, they advance to the attack. A few hours after midnight they make the assault, kill all the men who resist, and carry away the women and children for slaves.
Sometimes the Indian women follow their husbands, and share in the booty. Laden with plunder, they all retreat as hastily as possible, resting neither night nor day, till they are at a great distance, and out of the reach of their enemies. Sometimes they ride more than a hundred leagues from the place of attack before stopping to rest, and

in November 1831: at the River Negro in September 1832: and again at Gregory Bay, in the Strait of Magalhaens, in March 1833.
THE most remarkable traits in the countenance of a Fuegian are his extremely small, low forehead; his prominent brow; small eyes (suffering from smoke); wide cheek-bones; wide and open nostrils; large mouth, and thick lips. Their eyes are small, sunken, black, and as restless as those of savages in general. Their eyelids are made red and watery by the wood smoke in their wigwams. The chin varies much; that of a Tekeenica is smaller and less prominent than that of an Alikhoolip, in whom it is large and rather projecting, but there is much variety. The nose is always narrow between the eyes, and, except inabout the woods and mountains, who is certain of knowing every word and every action; who cannot be escaped, and who influences the weather according to men's conduct. York related a curious story of his own brother, who had committed a murder. "In woods of my country," said he, "some men go about alone; very wild men—have no belly (meaning probably that they were very thin), live by stealing from other men." He then went on to say, that his brother had been getting birds out of a cliff, and, on coming down, hid them among some long rushes, and went away. Soon afterwards he returned, and, seeing feathers blown away by the wind from the spot, suspected what was going on; so taking a large stone in

his chart, published in 1717; and in compliment to the owners of one of them (the Saint Louis), her commander, M. Fouquet, named the cluster of islets near which he anchored, the Anican Isles.
In consequence of the visits of these shzips of St. Malo, the French named the islands Les Malouines; but this was not till after 1716, when Frezier compiled the chart in which he called them 'Isles Nouvelles,' although in his own narrative (p. 512, Amsterdam edition, 1717), he says, "Ces îsles sont sans doute les mêmes que celles que le Chevalier Richard Hawkins découvrit en 1593."
The Spaniards adopted the French name, slightly altered, by changing Malouines into Malvinas: even now the term 'Maloon,' a corruption of Malouine,* is sometimes used by English or Americans insteadof island, in writing as well as in speaking.
During the early part of the last century, France maintained a lucrative commerce with Chile and Peru, by way of Cape Horn, and the advantages which might be derived from a port of refuge and supply at the eastern extremity of the Falklands did not escape her active discernment.

In the year 1764, a squadron was sent to the South Seas by George III., in whose instructions, dated June 17th, 1764, it is said, "And whereas his

Land! "It also conceded to the colony exemption from taxation for twenty years, and for the same period the exclusive right to the fishery in all the Malvinas, and on the coast of the continent to the southward of the Rio Negro, under the condition that within three years I (Vernet) should have established the colony."‡
About this time merchant-vessels of all nations visited the Falkland Islands, both in their outward voyage and when returning from the Pacific; but advantageous as their visits were, those of numerous sealers had a very different effect: for, instead of frequenting the settlement, their crews killed the seal indiscriminately at all seasons, and slaughtered great numbers of wild cattle. "For this reason," says Vernet, "I
requested the Government to furnish me with a vesselof war, to enable me to cause the rights of the colony to be respected. The Government was aware of the necessity of the measure; but not being then able to place a vessel at my disposal, it resolved to invest me with a public and official character, and for that purpose issued the two decrees of the 10th of June: the one re-establishing the governorship of the Malvinas and Tierra del Fuego; and the other nominating me to fulfil that office."*
In 1829, Vernet warned off some North American sealers; and in 1831, upon their repeating the sealing excursion of which he had complained, he detained them by force. This act, and various circumstances arising out of it, drew upon him and his unfortunate colony the hasty indignation

foxes as being twice as large as an English fox, but he does not say upon which island.†
† "They saw foxes on this land, which, Simson says, 'were twice as big as those in England. Having brought greyhounds with us, we caught a young fox alive, which we kept on board some months, but on the first firing our great guns in the South Sea, he was frighted overboard, as were also some St. Jago monkies. As to the antiquity of these foxes, as they cannot fly, and it is not likely they should swim so far as from America, nor again is it probable that any would be at the pains of bringing a breed of foxes so far as Hawkins' Island is from any other land,the ship's company; but except in their size and the shape of the tail, I think they bore a greater resemblance to a fox. They are as big as a middle-sized mastiff, and their fangs are remarkably long and sharp." "They burrow in the ground, like a fox." The Beagle's officers, when employed in surveying the Falklands, were often annoyed, as well as amused, by the intrusion of these fearless animals. In size, the larger ones are about twice as bulky as an English fox, and they stand nearly twice as high upon their legs.* Their heads are coarser, and their fur is not only thicker as well as longer, but it is of a woolly nature.
Referring again to a resemblance between the Falkland and Patagonian foxes, I

and happy.
"The total number of persons on the island consisted of about one hundred, including twenty-five gauchos and five Indians. There were two Dutch families (the women of which milked the cows and made butter); two or three Englishmen; a German family; and the remainder were Spaniards and Portuguese, pretending to follow some trade, but doing little or nothing. The gauchos were chiefly Buenos Ayreans; but their capataz or leader was a Frenchman."
Such was the state of Vernet's settlement a few months before the Lexington's visit; and there was then every reason for the settlers to anticipate success, as they, poor deluded people, never dreamed of having no business there without having obtained the permission of the British Government. They thought, naturally enough, that the Buenos Ayrean Governmentcould not have sold the islands to Mr. Vernet, unless the state of La Plata had a right to them; they believed that the purchase-money had been paid;* but they were not aware that the British Government had protested formally against the pretended claim of Buenos Ayres, so quiet was that fact kept by the Argentine Government, although the solemn protest was made by Mr. Parish, the British consul-general, in November 1829.
* It is said that officers in the Buenos Ayrean army, relations of Mrs. Vernet, had claims upon their Government, which they agreed should be liquidated by receiving certain sums of money from Mr. Vernet; in consideration of which the Government made over to him their pretended right of property in the Falklands and Staten Land.

between two ranges of the Cordillera; others saidit was in the plains; but all appeared to think there was no doubt of the existence of such a settlement.
In Villarino's Diary of his Exploration of Anegada Bay, I find that he was much assisted by horses and mules, which he carried on board his vessels, and landed as often as he had occasion to make a journey by land. At the river Negro I heard that some of these animals became so tame, and accustomed to landing and embarkation, that they would leap quietly into or out of the boats, when required.*
On the 19th of August, we anchored near the bar of the Negro, to meet the Paz and Liebre, take our officers and men on board, and pay Mr. Harris the money to which he

being towed, or tracked, in the river, and capable of running up to New Bay before a fair wind. In the River Negro similar boats go a long way up the river for salt; they are towed by horses or oxen; and such vessels, even of thirty tons burthen, might enter the Chupat, if constructed so as to draw but little water. I need not dwell upon the possible advantages to be derived from opening a
communication across the continent with Chilóe, which might be a means of diffusing Christianity, civilization, and commercial intercourse.
On the 3d, Lieut. Wickham and his party left the Chupat. Early on the 5th they entered Valdes Creek (by the Spaniards styled 'port'), with the flood tide running nearly six knots into the narrow entrance:time no vessel ought to run for it.
During the war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres (1825-9), Mr. Adams, of Carmen, was master of a merchant vessel hired by Vernet to convey settlers to the Falkland Islands. In returning thence, short of water and provisions, he thought to put into Valdes Creek, knowing that some people were there employed in collecting hides. He ran in for the land, with a fresh S.E. wind, and did not discover, until almost too late, that the bar was not passable. When close in he perceived a heavy sea breaking at the entrance, where he expected smooth water, and directly hauled off; but it was only by carrying a heavy press of sail that he cleared the land; and at the expense of

to "catch (steal) his clothes," while he was asleep, the night before York left him naked.
Not long after my departure in Febuary 1833, the much-dreaded Oens-men came in numbers, overland, to Woollӯa; obliged Jemmy's tribe to escape to the small islands, and carried off every valuable which his party had not time to remove. They had doubtless heard of the houses and property left there, and hastened to seize upon it—like other 'borderers.' Until this time York had appeared to be settled, and quite at ease, but he had been employed about a suspiciously large canoe, just finished when the inroad was made. He saved this canoe, indeed escaped in it, and afterwards induced Jemmy and his family to accompany him "to look at his land." They wenttogether in four canoes (York's large one and three others) as far west as Devil Island, at the junction of the north-west and south-west arms of the Beagle Channel: there they met York's brother and some others of the Alikhoolip tribe; and, while Jemmy was asleep, all the Alikhoolip party stole off, taking nearly all Jemmy's things, and leaving him in his original condition. York's fine canoe was evidently not
built for transporting himself alone; neither was the meeting with his brother accidental. I am now quite sure that from the time of his changing his mind, and desiring to be placed at Woollӯa, with Matthews and Jemmy, he meditated taking a good opportunity of possessing himself of every thing; and that he thought, if he were left in

Recently (2010), the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient sources added to food (ANS) published a revised version of the safety assessment of Canthaxanthin, reconfirming the already set ADI. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no "tanning pills" approved for sale in the United States. In spite of this, there are companies that continue to market such products, some of which contain canthaxanthin. The FDA considers such items "adulterated cosmetics" and as a result sent "Warning Letters" to the firms citing such products as containing "a color additive that is unsafe within the meaning of section 721(a) of the FD&C Act (FD&C Act, sec. 601(e))."

"People were kind of flabbergasted," CSE spokesman Steven Crang said of the hot tub, which had a wave of visitors Sunday and Monday. "It was obviously unexpected. It was pretty creative and now it's gone. It left a buzz in its wake."

Omaha
Yesterday evening I thought about what was occurring at the same time 65 years before in Europe. Young paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions as well as the British 6th Airborne Divison and 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion were headed in for night combat jumps with the mission of securing key bridges and road junctions and setting up blocking positions to prevent German reinforcements from reaching the beaches of Normandy. Of the 17,000 US airborne troops engaged in operation Overlord, 1,003 were KIA, 2,657 were WIA and 4,490 were declared MIA.
At the same time, off that coast, the largest amphibious assault fleet the world had ever seen, drawn from 8 allied navies (6,939 vessels: 1,213 warships, 4,126 transport vessels (landing ships and landing craft), and 736 ancillarycraft and 864 merchant vessels), began gathering. 19 and 20 year old young men, who to that point had never seen a shot fired in anger nor fired one themselves, would get their baptism in war on Omaha, Gold, Utah, Swordand Juno beaches. In all 160,000 allied troops would land that day.

The position of relator is "that he operates a drug store as is permitted by Section 1163 (of the zoning ordinances); that he meets all the other requirements for moral character, location, etc., and that he is entitled to a license to sell liquor in the original package in connection with his drug store business as permitted by Section 363.3(h) of the intoxicating liquor ordinances of the City of Columbia, Missouri, and the laws and statutes of the State of Missouri."

He was doing business in this manner when a city ordinance was enacted setting up the area in which his store was located as a "Class A" residence zone.

TONY Mowbray has confirmed that Boro did talk to Swansea about re-signing Danny Graham.
The 27-year-old Geordie has this afternoon completed a £5m move from South Wales to Sunderland, signing a three-and-a-half year deal.
Boro discussed a possible move for Graham - who started his professional career with the club - after the striker was booed when he came off the Swansea bench at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday.
Boro’s reckoning was that the player had submitted a transfer request citing family circumstances and desired a return to his native North-east, then his only other option was Teesside if he got cold feet about a move to Wearside.
Swansea were open to selling him to Boro after theThe most famous monograph is represented by the Status of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), one of the FAO flagship publications produced every two year in the occasion of the Conference on Fisheries (COFI) sessions.

There is no distinct climatic difference among these seven zones. Generally, the climate of Bangladesh is subtropical monsoon characterized by wide seasonal variations in rainfall, high temperatures and humidity. In the country, three seasons can be distinguished; namely the cool-dry winter (November to February), the hot dry summer (March to June) and the hot-wet rainy season (July--October) ([@bb0005]). Samples were collected carefully by one sample collecting team in each of the three seasons, zone by zone; and we collected samples from each zone in eachthe animals and by interviewing the owners of the animals. The questions and responses were recorded for statistical analysis. The variables included age, sex, breed, physiological condition of male and female, body condition of the animals (e.g.; BCS), the rearing system, flock size, housing, use of anthelmintic, socio-economic status, knowledge about GINs and education level of farmers, and seasons.
Data associated with some of the aforementioned variables were recorded by examining the animals. Age of the animal was categorized into three groups:1--6 months, ˃6--18 months and \>18 months following eruption chart of teeth and also by interviewing the farmers ([@bb0140]). The physiological condition of females was categorized as pregnant, lactating and non-pregnant. The physiological condition of males was grouped into non-breeding and breeding male.

["The hard core". Science between politics and philosophy by Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and in the finalization theory].
In the Starnberg Max-Planck Institute one of the working groups was concerned with science as the formative condition--or "hard core"--of societal modernity, and with science as potential resource for solving social problems and addressing future goals. More precisely, the group intended to differentiate between phases in which scientific disciplines predominantly care for their own paradigmatic completion and those allowing their theoretical potential resonate with external needs. The conceptual model was coined "finalization in science". It soon provoked a heated controversy on the dangers of social control of science. The paper analyses Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker's views on the relation between philosophy and policy of science including his interpretation of Thomas Kuhnbonkers and a quick glance out my front window had me looking at a goose walking down the sidewalk in my front yard. It walked all the way across, and then up and over a hill where it disappeared in the field.
And life went on.
But the very next day, I heard my dog barking and looked out to find the goose walking directly down the middle of the street. He or she (both genders look pretty much identical) was taking a stroll from the field all the way down to the retention ponds at the other end of the street.
And so it continued, this goose walking up and down our street from somewhere in the field to somewhere near the pond. Curiosity was getting the best of me,

STATE EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, INC., SEIU LOCAL 1984
v.
STATE of New Hampshire.
No. 2010-205.
Supreme Court of New Hampshire.
Argued: November 17, 2010.
Opinion Issued: February 25, 2011.
*263 Molan, Milner & Krupski, PLLC, of Concord (Glenn R. Milner on the memorandum of law and orally), for the petitioner.

Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP, of Concord (Christopher H.M. Carter and Suzan M. Lehmann on the brief), for the Community College System of New Hampshire, as amicus curiae.
CONBOY, J.
The respondent, the State of New Hampshire, appeals a ruling of the Superior Court (Sullivan, J.) in favor of the petitioner, State Employees' Association of New Hampshire, Inc., SEIU Local 1984:(1) grantingthe petitioner's request for a writ of mandamus; (2) denying the respondent's motion to dismiss; and (3) granting the petitioner's request for declaratory judgment. We reverse.
The facts in this case are not disputed. Prior to 2007, New Hampshire's community colleges comprised the Department of Regional Community Technical Colleges (DRCTC). This department was governed by RSA chapter 188-F, which stated, "[T]he department shall be a state agency." RSA 188-F:2 (1999) (repealed 2007).

been killed while trying to save personal belongings in one flooded town in northeastern Rio de Janeiro.
Emergency workers said more than 1,000 families from Tres Vendas had been evacuated to shelters.
"We're trying to put up stone barriers to prevent the water advancing but it's difficult," Rosinha Garotinho, prefect of Campos and a former state governor, said.
Flooding killed 900 people and destroyed more than 31,000 homes in Brazil in early 2011
She said there was no immediate risk of flooding in other districts of Campos.
Rio governor Sergio Cabral said the maximum alert, which requires emergency teams to intensify preparations, was focused on vulnerable towns in the north and northeast of the state as well as the Serrana region 97km north of the capital.
A year ago, heavy rain caused mudslides inthe Serrana region that killed about 900 people, many of whom were asleep when rivers of mud buried them in their homes.
Photographs of the ruptured dam in Tres Vendas showed muddy water rushing through a gap in the dam about the width of three cars.
"Now, about 40 per cent of the streets [of Tres Vendas] are engulfed in water and we expect it will reach them all," said Major Edison Pessanha of the Civil Defence authority, according to a local government website.
Campos de Goytacazes, located about 280km north of Rio de Janeiro, is adjacent to the offshore Campos Basin from where about 80 per cent of Brazil's oil is pumped.

Background
==========
After a decade long civil war (1996 to 2006) and the abolition of monarchy, Nepal emerged as "Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal" in 2008 \[[@B1]\]. The Communist party of Nepal (Maoist) won the largest number of seats in the Constituent Assembly (CA) election in 2008 and formed a coalition government which included most of the parties in the CA \[[@B1]\]. For the first time in Nepal, the 2007 Interim Constitution declared that health is a basic human right and that the state bears responsibility for it. The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) is a governing body that aims at improving the health status of the population through "equitable and quality" health care services \[[@B2]\]. The current government led by the Maoist party is, however, over-burdened with issuesis just as important as donor involvement and resource disbursement.
As a developing country, Nepal is heavily reliant on foreign aid for its development as well as for other social, economic and political initiatives. Aid agencies and their functionaries have been widespread in Nepal's policymaking, legislative reforms and program design and implementation for over six decades \[[@B5],[@B6]\]. A particular domain that is intrinsically related to and influenced by the aid regime is the country's policy process. In the fiscal year 2010--2011, international aid represented 26% of national budget and 5.8% of Nepal's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The main sectors receiving external support are education, local development, roads and health. Nepal receives official development assistance (ODA) from over 40 donors, including 35 resident agencies. The Ministry of Finance (MoF) is

responsible for the overall coordination of foreign aid. The Foreign Aid Coordination Division of the MoF is mandated to oversee the Government's activities in the area of aid coordination, harmonization and alignment \[[@B7]\].
Foreign aid to Nepal is provided by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) donors, International Financial Institutions (IFIs), United Nations agencies, global vertical funds and providers of South-South cooperation. In fiscal year 2010--11, of the US\$ 1.08 billion donated, approximately 58% came from multilateral donors, 36% from OECD bilateral donors and over 6% from bilateral South-South cooperation partners \[[@B8]\].

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Arunachal Pradesh has evoked sharp reactions from China, which reiterated its stance on the northeastern Indian state, saying it is "opposed" to the Indian leaders' activities in the "disputed area".
Itanagar/Beijing: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Arunachal Pradesh has evoked sharp reactions from China, which reiterated its stance on the northeastern Indian state, saying it is "opposed" to the Indian leaders' activities in the "disputed area".
In its reaction late on Friday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that China never recognised Arunchal Pradesh.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in Beijing that they have lodged solemn representations with the Indian side and that pending "settlement of the boundary question, the Indian side should avoid making any move that complicates the boundary question andmaintain the good momentum of bilateral ties.
Hua made the remarks on Modi "attending activities in the Disputed Area of eastern part of China-India boundary".
"China holds a consistent and clear stance on the China-India boundary question. It is a fact known to all that there are substantial disputes over the eastern part of the China-India boundary, the Chinese government has never recognised the "Arunachal Pradesh".
“The Chinese side is opposed to Indian leaders` activities in the disputed area, and has lodged solemn representations with the Indian side. What the Indian side has done runs counter to the efforts by the two sides to properly resolve and manage disputes and the overall interests of bilateral relations,” his statement said.
“We urge the Indian side to take China`s solemn concerns seriously, meet the

Cairbre Cinnchait
Cairbre Cinnchait or Caitchenn ("cat-head" or "hard head") was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. There is considerable differences in the sources over his ancestry and his place in the traditional sequence of High Kings.
According to the Lebor Gabála Érenn, he succeeded to the throne after the previous incumbent, Conchobar Abradruad, was killed by Crimthann Nia Náir, and ruled for five years. The Lebor Gabála is unsure of his origins: it says "the learned reckon" he was of either the Luaigne of Tara, the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Catraige of Connacht, the Corcortri (descendants of the former High King Cimbáeth), or a descendant of Ír, son of Míl Espáine.

that the improvement of China's agricultural GTFP was mainly driven by GTP.
Taking 1998 as the base period, GTFP, GTE and GTP were all set as 1. We calculated their cumulative value over the sample period. During the period 1998--2003, TFP increased only slightly. As GTE declined, GTP did not fully offset the negative effects, because although China's agriculture had a high yield in that period, due to market problems and agricultural structural contradictions, the grain could not be sold, which seriously affected the enthusiasm of Chinese farmers in production. From 2004 to 2009 the GTFP grew slowly, with an average annual growth rate of 2.6% which was mainly because the Chinese government has introduced a number of reform policies for rural areas, including abolishing agricultural taxes and subsidizingthis paper, 1998, 2004, 2010 and 2016 were selected as observation points for the distribution maps of the GTFPI of various provinces in China, as shown in [Figure 5](#ijerph-16-03932-f005){ref-type="fig"}. It can be seen from the figure that some areas have fluctuated greatly over time. Except for some provinces, the overall dark areas gradually expanded, and the GTFPI as a whole was in an incremental state. From the perspective of the spatial dimension, the spatial regional difference was relatively small in 1998, and expanded in 2016. It can be seen that in 2010, the trend of agricultural GTFPI accumulation was relatively obvious, but in the other three years, the high level agricultural GTFPI provinces did not exert an agglomeration effect.

'Doesn't feel like a victory to us'
Not everyone is pleased with the decision. Members of Divest UVic protested outside the meeting Tuesday saying the new policy doesn't go far enough.
Juliette Watts, an organizer with Divest UVic, says the policy doesn't reflect the values of the university population. In 2019, for example, 77 per cent of the faculty voted in favour of fossil fuel divestment.
"On the ground at UVic and here in our community, we have a really strong progressive stance against polluters and the biggest despoilers of Indigenous lands and waters — which are the extractive industries and specifically the fossil fuel industry," Watts said.
She said instead of targeting consumption practices, the university simply needs to remove all investments in the fossil fuel industry.

The financial crisis, however, woke the world up to just how vulnerable those squirreling away dollars - like China and Russia - were to the fortunes of the United States. The bulk of the world's currency reserves are in dollars, with the euro still a distant second. Foreign central banks, however, could hardly start

Devarim (1995), Amos Gitai's first installment in the now notorious City Trilogy (also including the 1998's Yom Yom and 1999's Kadosh) tells the story of three disillusioned men living in Tel Aviv. Based on Yackov Shabatai's novel "Zihron Devarim" Gitai's film is as much of a fictional story as it is a truthful depiction of Israel's lost generation. Aesthetically well-composed, at times provocative, but ultimately not as convincing as the last installment in the trilogy Devarim is a film that by large seems to rehash what Israeli cinema from the early 90s has been mass producing-declamatory works with questionable artistic values.
In Devarim there is plenty to arouse your attention and even more to disappoint you rather quickly when you find out where the story is heading. Cesar (playedby Assi Dayan, son of the Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan), Goldman (Amos Gitai), and Israel (Amos Shoov) are on the edge of their capabilities to deal with reality. Their lives, a never-ending mess of societal and cultural contradictions, have come to a halt. The men are hardly interested in what many in their country find worth living for. When disaster strikes they quickly fall in a state of lethargy-life appears to have lost its meaning.
A man with an enormous experience as a documentary filmmaker Amos Gitai most certainly does not need any introduction to those who follow world cinema. Regarded as Israel's most prolific contemporary director he regularly appears on film festivals throughout Europe and Asia. His films tend to focus on the reality in his native

The veterinary profession and veterinary education in Latin America {#jsap13125-sec-0006}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The VGG discussed these demographics with academic and association colleagues in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. We met with academic administrators and teacher/researchers from several veterinary schools in each country. A general observation was that it appeared challenging to provide accurate and up‐to‐date data on the demographics of the profession in the absence of national (as opposed to provincial or state) professional regulatory authorities who might ensure the quality of veterinary education, register veterinary graduates, maintain registers of practicing veterinarians and ensure that they undertakecontinuing professional development. Some estimates were given for the numbers of veterinarians in Argentina (21,000), Brazil (130,000 active veterinarians) and Mexico (45,000).
The numbers of veterinary schools were estimated at 21 in Argentina and 45 in Mexico and these are within a mixture of public and private universities. The most extraordinary growth in veterinary schools has occurred in Brazil where a marked rise in the number of private institutions offering a veterinary curriculum means that there are currently thought to be over 400 schools in the country (Brazilian Federal Council of Veterinary Medicine, personal communication). Sixty‐three of these are in state‐ or federally‐funded public universities with the remainder being in the private sector. There are no centralised national curricula and the content and standard of teaching appears to be

At least 24 people were killed and 124 others injured Sunday after a passenger train derailed in the northwestern Turkish province of Tekirdağ.
"Twenty-four of our citizens have lost their lives [in the accident]," said Deputy Prime Minister Recep Akdağ in a press briefing in Tekirdağ on Monday.
Akdağ said that search and rescue operations in the region were completed as of 6 a.m. local time.
The death toll was initially announced as 12, but climbed to 24 as search and rescue efforts proceeded.
At least seven victims are minors, with the youngest victim only 10 months old.
Uzunköprü, a district of northwestern Edirne province bordering Greece, lost 12 citizens in the disaster. Another victim was from neighboring Meriç district. Four victims are from Çorlu, three are from neighboring Muratlı district, two arefrom Pehlivanköy district of northwestern Kırklareli province and two others are from Istanbul.
Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs, and Communications Ahmet Arslan said during the same meeting that routine controls on train rails, which have to be done once a year, were conducted in April.
Arslan said five carriages of the train's six cars, with 362 people on board, traveling from Uzunköprü, Edirne to Istanbul were toppled near Sarılar village of Tekirdağ's Çorlu district after the railway track slid down from its original spot due to torrential rains.
Footages from the accident scene showed that the earth filling under the tracks near a culvert was washed away.

the debtors claimed as exempt pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(1) their interest in their residence in the amount of $15,000. The Bank objected to the debtors' claim of exemption. A hearing was held and we dismissed Bank's objections in In re Anspach, 6 B.R. 700 (Bkrtcy.E.D.Pa.1980). The Bank subsequently filed an application to abandon, apparently seeking an order which would allow foreclosure on the property. Debtor answered, admitting the existence of Bank's claimed lien, but alleging that the liens were "worthless" because of the discharge granted to debtors on September 29, 1980.
On December 11, 1980, the debtors filed an application to avoid the judicial liens of six different creditors. The Bank answered and objected to the debtors' application to avoid.

Divus's translation is still in the world. A pity that no-one has put it up on Google Books, it was an influential text for Ezra Pound.

In the following example, we take two arrays containing 10 matrices of shape `(3, 3)`.

import dask
res = dask.get(dsk, "result")
print(res)
# Output:

All the complexity is hidden behind the scheduler, which will take care of distributing the tasks across threads, processes, or even different machines. The `dask.get` scheduler is a synchronous and serial implementation that is useful fora role to play: the particular quality of a voice – its rhythm, pitch, accent – testifies to the personal experience of the speaker, which in turn takes shape within the evolving pattern of a culture (or several cultures). In the diaristic Notes On Berlin, the Divided City (1986) it’s primarily the sounds that carry the burden of history: the music selections range from Bach to Kurt Weill to electro-pop, while the differing voices of radio announcers conjure up separate realities on either side of the Iron Curtain. Like the images in a colour separation film, these voices are layered texts, their qualities transmitted across generations, moulded by time as rocks are worn away by water.

Rather than pursue an investigation, the police threatened the Mainis when they reported the CPM's attack against Vikram. Mrs. Maini testified that, after the assault on Vikram and each time a police report was made, "[t]hey told us to run away from here and get out of the place otherwise we will treat you the same way, the way we treat with the people who come here and lodge complaint against our own people."

Vikram became the CPM's frequent target. His mother explained at their asylum hearing that "he is half Hindu and half Sikh. So, he isan easy target for anyone." She added that, "whenever [CPM members] would see him walking alone or he is alone, they would come and slap him." Vikram corroborated his mother's testimony when he explained that, between 1984 and 1992, "whenever they found an opportunity that I was alone, they would harass me or they beat me up. " CPM members threatened him at school, informing him that "Hindus should be killed; they should be wiped out." They ordered him to "change my religion." They told him to become a pure Sikh. But Vikram refused: "I would deny it very emphatically and I would say no, what I am, I am." Vikram feared participating in his school's extracurricular activities.

Strike First!
The title of this post comes from part of the motto of the Cobra Kai school from The Karate Kid movie. Cobra Kai is now a series on YouTube.* Yes, after 34 years, Daniel-san and bad guy Johnny ("Sweep The Leg") are back! These guys are in their fifties now, and they're still at it. Fifty is the new thirty-five. I'm pretty sure Johnny is still hawking "Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy" at his new Cobra Kai school. This idea is diametrically opposed, deliberately I assume, to one of the most fundamental tenets found in karate, among other styles. But the Cobra Kai "Strike First"leads to deeper and longer-lasting acquisition of that information than more time spent passively re-studying.
In the martial arts, teachers and seniors are expected to be role models for ethical behavior. The behavior of both the instructor and higher ranking students in a school can be very revealing. Newbies tend to be diffident, but they notice things. In an article for Black Belt magazine (August 1995), Dave Lowry writes,
The senior must also remember that, just as he evaluates the juniors in class, they are watching him. They will notice whether a male senior rushes to help an attractive female junior while ignoring male beginners. They will be observant of the senior's attendance habits and will notice whether he is frequently absent. They will notice whether the senior shows respect

and abetting others to do the same for him. Leading to Thompson's arrest and indictment were certain voters' Request for Assistance forms labeled "sold vote." Eventually, many voters admitted that Thompson's campaign workers not only paid cash for votes for Thompson but in several instances even accompanied voters into the booth to insure the voters' compliance, pursuant to false voter assistance request affidavits. Especially damaging to Thompson's case were statements by Robert L. Brown, Jr., one of Thompson's campaign workers charged with election law violations. As part of a negotiated plea agreement, Brown admitted that Thompson gave him both cash and liquor with which to buy votes.
3
Brown reached the plea agreement with the government about two weeks before trial began. Apparently deeming theagreement a significant step in the case, the United States Attorney called a local television station to release the news of Brown's change in plea. At his request, a reporter came to his office and filmed a brief interview. In the news clip released that night the United States Attorney repeated the substance of Brown's admissions and his implication of Thompson.
4
When trial began, the United States Attorney called Brown and several other witnesses who had previously told the grand jury that Thompson's campaign workers had tried, with varying measures of success, to buy their votes. To the prosecutor's chagrin, however, one witness deviated from her grand jury testimony, omitting any reference to cash offers for her vote. To refresh her memory, the prosecutor read

sexually abused Mr. Boyko, but Mr. Boyko was unable to recognize Clouse's conduct as abuse. Goudy also explained that, starting from the time he was nine years old, Mr. Boyko had been sexually abused by several other older men in addition to Clouse. In Goudy's opinion, at the time he shot Clouse, Mr. Boyko was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), the result of years of sexual abuse. In Goudy's opinion, when Clouse touched Mr. Boyko's leg on the night of the shooting, Mr. Boyko thought Clouse was about to molest him again or possibly kill him.2 Mr. Boyko reacted to Clouse's touch in an uncontrolled manner because that touch triggered a panic attack as a result of the PTSD. Goudy's opinion was that Mr. Boyko shotsentencing.

Mr. Boyko's trial counsel testified at the evidentiary hearing as well, and Mr. Boyko questioned him about his failure to consider PTSD as a possible defense. Trial counsel explained that he knew of Mr. Boyko's sexual encounters with Clouse and with the other men, but he thought these relationships were consensual rather than abusive. He further testified that he did not investigate whether Mr. Boyko was suffering from PTSD. He admitted, however, that he would have raised PTSD as a defense if he had realized that Mr. Boyko may have suffered from it, but he was not certain that it would have been an effective defense.

very successful in doing that," said Michael Bronstein, a Philadelphia-based political consultant and pro-Israel activist who attended the program put together by the the Inter-Agency Task Force on Iran, which is led by several national Jewish groups.
During a session of briefings with congressional leaders and administration officials, U.S. Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that, come October, he plans to have his committee review the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act.
The legislation would allow the president to impose sanctions on companies that help Iran import or produce refined petroleum Iran imports 40 percent of its refined petroleum.

Powerful Lineup at the Table
If anyone had doubts about how important the Iran issue is to the leadership of the mainstream American Jewish community, the powerful lineup at the Sept. 10 panel discussion during advocacy day should have erased them.
AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr, Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman, American Jewish Committee Executive Director David Harris and B'nai B'rith International Executive Director Dan Mariaschin were seated at the same table on the stage next to moderator Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.
"There is no national sense of urgency" on Iran, said Foxman, who then outlined a "Catch-22" situation facing the Jewish community in the coming months.

and caught up in something was when the Siskos decided to have a baby, and he busied himself with creating a nursery for their future child which turned out well, including a starscape on the ceiling. The child, Jake, would be born in 2355. (DS9: "Explorers")
Sisko affectionately dubbed Curzon Dax "Old Man", and continued to use the name for both Jadzia and later Ezri.
Later in their careers together, Jadzia once reminsced in 2374, "whatever happened to that young, callow ensign I used to know? The one who used to turn to me for advice all the time? You know, the one with hair?" His response was "I grew up." (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited")
The following year, Ezri Dax told Kira Nerys to remind her to tell the storyabout a drunken ensign she once escorted home, specifically, following a visit to "a bar on Bolarus and a certain young Mister Sisko." (DS9: "Field of Fire")
Curzon had to deal with Sisko's temper at times, including when Sisko was in an argument with an Argosian lieutenant, during which a drink was thrown in his face. Sisko intended to finish the fight, but Curzon held him back, eventually punching him in the jaw just to restrain him. He wore a ring which left a scar he held for many years later. (DS9: "Dax")
As Sisko continued to serve with Curzon, he later recalled how his mentor "used to take perverse pleasure in assigning me to take care of VIP guests." According to Sisko, he "graduated" from those assignments after he

his wife and raising his son alone. This left Sisko on the verge of resigning his commission. He intended to work on Earth, constructing orbital habitats, but struggled with the decision to leave. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
He eventually found an outlet for his pain in a new posting at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars. (DS9: "Emissary") There, Sisko worked on the prototype USS Defiant – the first in what was to be a fleet of warships to defend the Federation from the Borg. After work on the project slowed, and design flaws became apparent, the project was mothballed. (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "Defiant") It was also around this time, in 2367, that Sisko attended a Starfleet briefing on Q. (DS9: "Q-Less")
As he was contemplatinghis next move, his former captain, Leyton, nominated Sisko for a command position. Promoted to commander, he was assigned to Bajor, original home to the Prophets who had caused his birth. There, Sisko was to command the old ore processing station Terok Nor, built by the Cardassians during their Occupation of Bajor, then abandoned as part of their recent withdrawal from the system. Under Federation control, the station was newly christened Deep Space 9. It was to be Sisko's responsibility to help prepare the Bajorans for entry into the Federation.
In the script of "Emissary", Sisko was contacted by a university official about a house on Earth being available, implying that he considered working for this university after leaving Starfleet.
Arriving on DS9 in early 2369, Sisko was briefed by

Quadrant off-limits to Alpha Quadrant species, and destroyed several Starfleet ships, along with the colony on New Bajor. Sisko returned to DS9 with the realization that he had discovered a powerful and dangerous new enemy. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
Sisko returned to Earth to brief Starfleet on the Dominion situation. Realizing that Deep Space 9 was to be the first line of defense from a Dominion attack, Sisko convinced Starfleet Command to finish work on the mothballed USS Defiant. Sisko returned to DS9 with the new warship, and entered the Gamma Quadrant on a mission to find the Founders. (DS9: "The Search, Part I") During the mission, the Defiant and crew were captured by the Jem'Hadar and placed in a simulation, testing their reaction to a Dominion incursion in theAlpha Quadrant. It was discovered that the Founders were in fact Changelings, the same species as Sisko's security chief, Odo. Odo forced the Founders to release the Defiant crew, and they returned to the station. (DS9: "The Search, Part II") Based on his experiences with the Dominion, Sisko's psychological evaluation became required knowledge for Vorta operatives in the Dominion. (DS9: "To the Death")
Following three years of commanding Deep Space 9, Sisko was given a promotion, finally attaining the rank of captain in late 2371. Soon afterward, Sisko discovered that the Founders had begun infiltrating the Federation, posing as high-ranking officials. One Founder, disguised as an ambassador, ordered Sisko on a mission to the Tzenkethi border, and then tried to provoke a new Tzenkethi war. Sisko and crew were

successful in stopping the Founder's attempt, but it became apparent that there were now Changeling infiltrators throughout the Alpha Quadrant. (DS9: "The Adversary")
Rising pressures
Fears of Dominion infiltration swept the quadrant, and when the Cardassian government was overthrown by the civilian Detapa Council in 2372, the Klingon Empire feared Changeling involvement. A large Klingon task force docked at Deep Space 9, bound for Cardassian space. Klingon Chancellor Gowron asked Sisko for Starfleet's help in invading Cardassia Prime. Sisko rejected their call for help, and the Klingons withdrew from the Khitomer Accords, ending decades of peace. Sisko now had to help the new Cardassian government survive the Klingon attack. He contacted his long-time adversary, Gul Dukat, and arranged to rescue him and the new Council. He made sure, however, totest the members for possible Changeling impostors. Sisko then faced a Klingon fleet in the First Battle of Deep Space 9 until Starfleet reinforcements were imminent. Faced with a war on two sides, the Klingons backed down. However, the balance of power in the Alpha Quadrant was changing, which played right into the Dominion's hands. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
On Earth, video footage linked the bombing of the Antwerp Conference to Changeling infiltration. Sisko's knowledge of the Founders led to his brief promotion to Chief of Starfleet Security on Earth. Using Odo as a test subject, Sisko implemented many new security measures on Earth such as automated low-level phaser sweeps throughout Starfleet Headquarters. Unfortunately, his promotion was part of Sisko's former captain, now Admiral Leyton's plan to

overthrow the Federation government. Leyton misjudged Sisko's loyalties, and the coup d'état failed when Sisko and Odo exposed the plan. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")
Changelings also infiltrated a high position within the Klingon Empire. In 2373, Sisko and crew were ordered to expose the impostor. Undergoing cosmetic alterations to appear Klingon and taking the Klingon name Jodmos, son of Kobor, Sisko took Worf, Odo and O'Brien to the Klingon outpost Ty'Gokor to expose Chancellor Gowron (whom the Founders had led Odo to believe was a Founder). It was later discovered that General Martok was the Changeling. The mission was a success, and it brought the two powers closer to reconciliation. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
During a trip to the Gamma Quadrant that same year, Sisko took possession of a Jem'Hadar attackship and returned the ship to Starfleet Intelligence. (DS9: "The Ship") Soon afterward, the Dominion formed an alliance with the Cardassian Union, gaining a foothold in the Alpha Quadrant. They attempted to destroy Deep Space 9 and Bajor and cripple the Klingon and Federation fleets in one action, but Sisko discovered their plan and thwarted it. This new turn of events convinced the Klingon government to reinstate the Khitomer Accords, and Sisko allowed a permanent Klingon presence on the station. However, with the new Dominion presence in the Alpha Quadrant, war was inevitable. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
The Dominion War
As Dominion fleets began coming through the wormhole on a weekly basis, Starfleet made the decision to mine the entrance to the wormhole. Sisko commanded the station during the resulting

Using his new influence in Starfleet, Sisko created a plan to retake Deep Space 9, Operation Return, and convinced Starfleet to commit its forces. After learning that the minefield around the wormhole was about to be neutralized, Sisko ordered the operation to commence immediately. (DS9: "Favor the Bold") He commanded the Starfleet forces during the battle from the Defiant, and made his way to DS9. Faced with an armada of Dominion ships as the minefield fell, Sisko ordered the Defiant to go down with guns blazing. In a vision from the Prophets, Sisko convinced them to stop the invading fleet, and he returned to retake the station. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
Following his defeat during Operation Return and the death of his daughter, Ziyal, Gul Dukat descended into madnessand was captured. He was forced to stand trial for his crimes. Captain Sisko was to testify at his trial, but their transport, the USS Honshu, was destroyed by Cardassian forces. They escaped in a shuttlecraft and crashed on a nearby planet. There, Dukat's madness intensified, and he attempted to kill Sisko. Vowing to kill every Bajoran, Dukat escaped as the Defiant rescued Sisko. Following the ordeal, Sisko vowed that from then on, "it's him or me." (DS9: "Waltz")
Soon afterward, Sisko hired Elim Garak to fabricate a recording designed to bring the Romulan Star Empire into the war. This plan was approved by Starfleet. Sisko struggled with the ethical implications of his actions, but in the end decided it was worth it. With the help of a few

of Garak's sources, he was able to fabricate a holo-recording of the Dominion and Cardassians planning to invade Romulan space violating their nonaggression pact. He secretly invited Senator Vreenak over to DS9 to "show" him the evidence. However, Vreenak later found it was a fake and was prepared to expose this "vile deception" to the entire quadrant. A few days later, it was reported that the senator's shuttle was destroyed. Sisko confronted Garak on what he had done, but the former Obsidian Order agent pointed out that it was the only way to make the Empire think that the Dominion was responsible, with the acceptable losses of one convict, one senator and the self-respect of one Starfleet captain. As a result, the Romulans entered the war, attacking severalCardassian outposts along the Cardassian-Romulan border, and turned the odds in the Federation's favor. Sisko later recorded what happened into his personal log before deleting it. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
Sisko was chosen to command the first offensive into Dominion space in late-2374. The First Battle of Chin'toka was a success, but while Sisko was away, Gul Dukat managed to close the Bajoran wormhole, cutting off Bajor from the Prophets, after having killed Jadzia Dax. Sisko felt responsible, and decided to take a leave of absence to find a way to restore the wormhole. Sisko and Jake returned to New Orleans, not knowing if they would ever return to DS9. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
After three months on Earth, Sisko was given a vision of a woman's face

in the sands of Tyree. He reconstructed her face on a PADD, and Jake recognized her from a photo in which she appeared with his grandfather, Joseph, who reluctantly identified her as Sarah Sisko, Sisko's biological mother. Joseph finally told his son about his true mother, prompting Benjamin to travel to Tyree to find the meaning of his vision. He departed along with his father, Jake, and Ezri Dax, the new Dax host. (DS9: "Image in the Sand") While on Tyree, Sisko discovered the Orb of the Emissary, which restored the Bajoran wormhole. He also communicated with the Prophet who had possessed his mother, and learned of her true identity. Following the reopening of the wormhole, the tide of the war turned back to the Federation's favor, andSisko returned to the station. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols")
Later that year, Sisko commanded the Defiant in the Second Battle of Chin'toka. The ship was destroyed by the Dominion's new allies, the Breen Confederacy. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil") Sisko was then given command of the USS Sao Paulo, in late 2375, which was renamed to USS Defiant. (DS9: "The Dogs of War")
In the first draft script of "The Dogs of War", Sisko was established as having been unaware, prior to the arrival of the USS Sao Paulo at DS9, that the station's personnel were going to be given a new Defiant-class ship. However, both the final draft script and the final version of the episode implied that he had indeed known about the ship's imminent arrival.

Vedek, an ultra-conservative, was not sure that she believed Sisko was the Emissary. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
In 2371, Sisko was confronted by Vedek Yarka, who told him that he had discovered a prophecy in which the Emissary was involved in the destruction of the Celestial Temple. After reviewing Trakor's Third Prophecy, Sisko ignored the Vedek's warnings. He continued work on a subspace communications relay through the wormhole into the Gamma Quadrant. However, Major Kira Nerys was slowly convinced that Yarka was correct. She interpreted the prophecy as referring to three Cardassian scientists aboard the station, and a comet which was discovered near the wormhole. The comet was on a course leading it into the wormhole, causing it to collapse. Sisko stopped the comet, but inadvertentlyreleased trace amounts of silithium, which caused the wormhole to constantly remain slightly open. In the end, this chain of events actually fulfilled Trakor's prophecy, without the destruction of the wormhole as the final outcome. Sisko began to take an interest in other Bajoran prophecies, but continued his skepticism about his role as the Emissary. (DS9: "Destiny")
Following destiny's path
Sisko continued walking the fine line between acknowledging the Bajoran beliefs and rejecting their admiration for him. In 2372, an ancient Bajoran lightship emerged from the wormhole carrying famed poet Akorem Laan. Akorem had apparently discovered the wormhole centuries before, and had been inside it ever since. Finally able to relinquish his title, Sisko jumped at the chance to allow the poet to become the Emissary. However, when Akorem began

guiding Bajor down a road incompatible with joining the Federation, Sisko decided to challenge his title. He began studying the ancient texts, and realized that many of the prophecies applied to him, and not to Akorem. The two men traveled back into the wormhole and met with the Prophets, who confirmed that Sisko was in fact intended to be the Emissary. They returned Akorem to his own time, altering the timeline, but preserving everyone's memory of the previous events. Following this, Sisko slowly began to embrace his role as the Emissary. (DS9: "Accession")
In mid-2373, Sisko experienced a series of pagh'tem'fars in which the location of the lost city of B'hala was revealed to him. He was also shown the destruction of Bajor after its entrance into the Federation.Following his visions, he recommended that Bajor not join the Federation at that time, which angered Starfleet Command. Sisko was forced to undergo surgery to stop the visions when they became life-threatening. (DS9: "Rapture")
When Sisko entered the wormhole facing a Dominion fleet following Operation Return, the Prophets communicated with him once again. They refused to allow Sisko to die, and granted the destruction of the Dominion fleet. Referring to his life as "the game", they enacted a penance and told him that though he was "of Bajor" he would find no rest there. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
Sisko's morale slowly fell, and a few months later, after losing his friend Quentin Swofford, he was thinking of resigning his post. Knowing he had much work left on Bajor, the Prophets

sent him another series of pagh'tem'far, in which he was shown the life of Benny Russell, a black writer on Earth in the 20th century. The trials endured by Russell allowed Sisko to reevaluate his problems, and he decided to stay on the station. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
Later that year, Sisko inadvertently instigated the prophesied Reckoning, the battle between the Prophets and the Pah-wraiths. His son was possessed by a Kosst Amojan and Major Kira was taken over by a Prophet. The outcome of the battle was indefinite due to interference by Kai Winn. (DS9: "The Reckoning")
Following the release of a Pah-wraith by Dukat into the Orb of Contemplation in 2374, Sisko was confronted with visions of his biological mother. He traveled to Tyree and discovered theOrb of the Emissary, which reopened the wormhole and the Orbs. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols")
Sisko was led to the Bajoran Fire Caves following the victory at the Battle of Cardassia, where he engaged in a final showdown with the Pah-wraiths, in the form of Dukat. Sisko destroyed the evil Book of the Kosst Amojan and trapped Dukat, along with the Pah-wraiths, in the Fire Caves forever. He was taken to the Celestial Temple, where according to the Prophets, his work had only begun.
Sisko's last act in Starfleet was promoting Nog to the rank of Lietenant; in recognition for all the ypung Ferangi's contributions in the Dominion War.(DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

had a brief romantic encounter with the alternate version of Jadzia. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass", "Shattered Mirror")
While telepathically influenced by Lwaxana Troi, Jadzia Dax displayed romantic interest in Sisko, which according to Doctor Bashir, she only harbored on a subconscious level. Sisko did not appreciate her advances. (DS9: "Fascination")
Sisko was introduced to Kasidy Yates in 2371 by his son. The two began dating after they discovered a shared interest in baseball. (DS9: "Family Business") Yates later began smuggling supplies to the Maquis, and Sisko was forced to arrest her in 2372. (DS9: "For the Cause") After Yates served her sentence, she returned to Deep Space 9 a year later, and the two resumed their relationship. (DS9: "Rapture")
The two were engaged in 2375. (DS9: "Penumbra") The Prophets warnedalone before she gives birth to their child. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
Jake
Sisko's son Jake was born in 2355 to his first wife Jennifer. Sisko remembered taking care of Jake as a baby, and looked back on the time fondly. (DS9: "The Abandoned") By the time Jake became a teenager, Benjamin had already imparted his love of baseball to his son. The two watched holo-recreations of famous games, and played the game themselves. (DS9: "Emissary", "If Wishes Were Horses", "Starship Down")
Prior to 2367, the Sisko family made a camping trip to Itamish III, where Jake learned water skiing. While on a camping trip on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant in 2370, Jake recalled this vacation as the happiest time he and his parents had had together.

(DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
On Deep Space 9, Jake's friendship with Nog bothered Sisko at first, since Nog seemed to always get Jake into trouble. However, when Jake began to teach Nog to read, Sisko began to see their friendship was beneficial, and allowed them to remain friends. (DS9: "The Nagus") In 2370, Jake told his father that he did not wish to follow in his father's footsteps in Starfleet; Sisko took the news well and gave Jake his blessing, provided that Jake pursue his chosen vocation with all his ambition. (DS9: "Shadowplay")
Sisko became very concerned in 2370 when Jake's first girlfriend turned out to be a dabo girl named Mardah. (DS9: "Playing God") When Sisko finally met the girl, however, his fears were assuaged, as Mardah turned out tobe very nice and began to reveal sides of Jake that Sisko had never known. (DS9: "The Abandoned")
As Jake began to concentrate on his future career in writing, Sisko felt his son slipping away. He occasionally forced Jake to come with him on various outings: on a trip to the Gamma Quadrant, the test flight of Sisko's Bajoran lightship, and to see the Bajoran wormhole undergo a subspace inversion. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", "Explorers", "The Visitor") But Sisko finally had to allow his son to become an adult, and in 2373, Jake moved out and became roommates with Nog, who had by then become a Starfleet cadet. (DS9: "The Ascent")
In 2372 of an alternate timeline, during an accident on the Defiant, Sisko was caught in subspace for more than

thirty years. During this time, Jake became obsessed with finding a way to bring his father back, and eventually sacrificed his own life to return Sisko back to the moment of the accident. (DS9: "The Visitor") Later that year, when Jake was slowly being killed by Onaya, Sisko discovered her true nature, and saved his son. (DS9: "The Muse")
When the Dominion temporarily took control of DS9 in 2374, Jake decided to remain behind; Sisko was reluctant to leave him behind, but knew that Jake was a grown man capable of making his own decisions, however dangerous. (DS9: "Call to Arms") Sisko did, however, have to explain leaving Jake behind to his very angered father. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")
After Sisko's disappearance, Jake felt troubled by the loss ofhis father. He was comforted by Kasidy Yates and Colonel Kira Nerys, who believed that Sisko would return. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
The father-son relationship has been praised, Sisko has often been ranked as one of the most positive fathers depicted on television. [1]
Friendships
Academy friends
Sisko went to the Academy with a Benzenite named Laporin, and Quentin Swofford, both of whom became starship captains. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising", "Far Beyond the Stars")
Sisko's closest friend during his early career was Calvin Hudson. Sisko and Hudson attended the Academy together, and stayed friends afterward. The Siskos and Hudsons often took family vacations together. They once attended the Mazurka Festival at New Berlin. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") When Hudson abandoned Starfleet and joined the Maquis, Sisko felt Hudson was personally betraying him.

In 2370, he allowed Hudson to escape Starfleet custody, but ended their twenty-year friendship. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II") Hudson was later killed in a skirmish with the Cardassians, news of which hit Sisko pretty bad.(DS9: "Blaze of Glory")
Dax
Benjamin's mentor during his younger days was Trill Ambassador Curzon Dax. After meeting Dax on Pelios Station in the 2350s, Dax and Sisko were close for almost twenty years. While defending Dax against charges of murder in 2369, Sisko described the Trill's influence on him: "[He] taught me to appreciate life in ways I'd never thought about before. He taught me about art, and science and diplomacy. Whatever sense of honor I have today, he nurtured." (DS9: "Dax")
Dax attended Sisko's bachelor party in 2354, and the two often visited Risatogether. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures") When Curzon died in 2367, his symbiont was passed on to a woman named Jadzia. Despite the new appearance of Dax, Sisko insisted on calling her "old man." (DS9: "Emissary") Though it was initially difficult for him to adjust to Dax's new appearance, Jadzia and Sisko became friends again quickly. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
Sisko soon considered Jadzia one of his closest friends. On at least two separate occasions, when faced with the possibility of her death, Sisko did whatever it took to save her. Jadzia once told Sisko in turn that, after living seven lifetimes, Dax had never had a friend like Sisko. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures", "Equilibrium", "Rejoined")
Upon Sisko's promotion to captain, Jadzia remarked that Curzon would have been proud of him, but not

as proud as she was, a sentiment Sisko greatly appreciated. (DS9: "The Adversary")
When Jadzia called off her wedding to Worf in 2374, it was Sisko who told her that she was being unreasonable, finally convincing her to proceed with the nuptials. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited")
Jadzia was killed by Gul Dukat later that year, and Sisko was forced to say goodbye to her. Taking a moment before her funeral, Sisko told her that while Curzon was his mentor, she had been his friend and he needed her most now, and painfully regretted that she was gone. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
However, the Dax symbiont lived on, having been joined with Ezri Tigan. The new Ezri Dax tracked down Sisko on Earth and helped him discover the Orb ofthe Emissary. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols") Dax eventually decided to return to Deep Space 9, and continued her friendship with Sisko for a third lifetime. Unfortunately Ezri was unprepared for the Dax symbiont and struggled to adjust to the new memories; in the process of helping her, Sisko became both her commanding officer and mentor. (DS9: "Afterimage")
Kira Nerys
The relationship between Sisko and his Bajoran first officer, Kira Nerys, began with a rocky start, since Kira openly stated that she was opposed to the Federation's presence for fear that that it would become an occupying power. (DS9: "Emissary") Kira's views on the Federation shifted once the wormhole was discovered, and she begrudgingly accepted the need for the Federation's presence to keep the Cardassians away. However, the early relationship between

Sisko and Kira was still often defined by arguments regarding different approaches to station policy. At times, Kira was not only argumentative but also insubordinate contacting an admiral over Sisko's head. (DS9: "Past Prologue") However, Sisko stated that despite these arguments he and Kira always came away with new appreciation for the other's views. Kira joked at the end of their first year that she didn't believe Sisko was the devil, despite Winn Adami's attempt to portray the Federation as evil. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
Kira's religious beliefs further complicated the relationship with Sisko. Like other religious Bajorans, Kira viewed Sisko as the Emissary of the Prophets, which left Sisko feeling uncomfortable and conflicted at times. Kira attempted to keep her religious beliefs to herself; however,when Sisko was injured by a Jem'Hadar attack, she prayed for his recovery. After the incident, Sisko invited her to attend a baseball game with him. As Sisko grew to accept his position as the Emissary, the tension between the two softened. (DS9: "Destiny", "Starship Down")
When the Federation was forced to abandon Deep Space 9, Sisko, speaking as both the Emissary and the commanding officer, ordered Kira and the other Bajorans to avoid interfering in the conflict with the Dominion. (DS9: "Call to Arms") However, as it became clear that the Federation was losing the war, Kira disregarded Sisko's orders and formed a new resistance against the Dominion. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals")
Kira also shared her reservations with Sisko regarding his intentions to marry Kasidy Yates, due to the

(DS9: "Honor Among Thieves")
Sisko was sympathetic to O'Brien after his daughter Molly was thrown into a time portal. Once the incident ended, he volunteered to represent and defend the actions of his engineer at any ensuing Starfleet hearing. (DS9: "Time's Orphan")
Odo
Although Odo noted that he didn't think he would like Benjamin Sisko when he first met him, the two formed a keen respect for each other over the years. When Sisko was promoted to Captain, Odo noted that, while he didn't personally see the relevance of such titles, he could think of nobody who deserved this ritual more than Sisko. Sisko reciprocated this admiration more than once. Sisko is also the one who gave Odo his nickname "constable", which was adopted by the senior staff; Odo grew tolike it. When Odo's life was at stake following his capture by the Obsidian Order and his illness, Sisko took the Defiant into Dominion territory to save Odo, despite the risks of conflict with the Dominion. Odo also accompanied Sisko back to Earth when they received news that the Changelings had reached Earth. He helped him develop means of detecting Changelings on the planet. Odo later helped Sisko, who was falsely accused of being a Changeling by Admiral Leyton, escape. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Adversary", "The Die is Cast", "Homefront", "Paradise Lost", "Broken Link")
The crew and residents of Deep Space 9
Sisko grew very close to his command crew on Deep Space 9. Besides Dax, Miles O'Brien, and Kira Nerys, he formed close relationships with Worf, Odo and Julian Bashir.

He occasionally invited his staff to a home-cooked dinner. (DS9: "Equilibrium") However, he often had to draw the line between friend and commanding officer. On more than one occasion when a member of his senior staff bent (or broke) the rules, Sisko was forced to come down on them without regard for their off-duty relationship.
Sisko was not quite fond of Quark, but over time, he began to tolerate the Ferengi. He blackmailed Quark on a number of occasions when he thought it necessary, such as convincing him to stay on DS9, and helping the Federation make First Contact with the Founders of the Dominion. He was grateful when Quark helped uncover the first Dominion spy, and when he saved his life from a Jem'Hadar. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Jem'Hadar")
Thoughinitially unsupportive of Jake's friendship with Nog, Sisko eventually grew to like the young Ferengi. Nog asked Sisko to help him apply to Starfleet Academy; initially wary of the idea, Sisko soon recognized Nog's genuine desire to become a cadet, and he approved. (DS9: "Heart of Stone") When Nog returned to DS9 for field study, Sisko actually encouraged his friendship with Jake, hoping that Nog's new Starfleet discipline would rub off on his son. (DS9: "The Ascent") Nog later served under Sisko on the Defiant, and Sisko began to rely on Nog's presence among his crew. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
The only other Ferengi Sisko got along with on DS9 was Rom, Nog's father and Quark's brother. At one point, both Sisko and Rom conspired to get Jake and

Nog talking in the same room. Sisko also performed the wedding of Rom and Leeta. (DS9: "The Ascent", "Call to Arms")
When Sisko assembled his senior staff in 2375 for a baseball game on the holosuite against a team of Vulcans, the Logicians led by Captain Solok, the game brought the crew together, and they enjoyed the experience. During this time, he intimidated Rom by kicking him off his baseball team (the Niners) due to his poor batting skills. He later apologized [sincerely] to Rom for his attitude. (DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")
Later that year, Sisko also took part in a jack-in-the-box program involving Vic Fontaine with his crew. Though intially skeptical, Sisko helped regain Vic's lounge after it had been taken over by the mob. (DS9:"Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang") Sisko assembled his crew together one last time, at Vic's, following the end of the Dominion War. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
William Ross
After the Dominion War started, Sisko and Vice Admiral William Ross developed a good working relationship. In early-2374, Ross made Sisko his adjutant. Later that year, when the Federation Alliance was ready to go on the offensive against the Dominion, Ross gave Sisko the news that Starfleet had chosen him to plan the invasion of Cardassia. (DS9: "Behind the Lines", "Tears of the Prophets")
Despite their fairly solid working relationship, Ross expressed some frustration with Sisko's status as the Emissary of the Prophets. This frustration came to a head in late-2374 on the eve of the First Battle of Chin'toka, when Sisko told Ross that

Chronology
Appendices
Background information
Benjamin Sisko was played by Avery Brooks.
Character creation
Ronald D. Moore mentioned the story of Moses as an inspiration for the developments in Sisko's life. (AOL chat, 1997)
In the scriptfor "Emissary", Benjamin Sisko was described as "a rugged, charismatic man in his late thirties," as of 2366. [2]
The original Writer's Bible for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, created in 1992, [3] gave this biography for the character:
Benjamin Sisko, human Starfleet commander with a twelve year-old son, whose gentle, strong, soft spoken demeanor belies the temper that he is constantly trying to control. And when he loses it, he gets furious with himself. He's a man of action who gets impatient with too much talk, but as he has become more mature, he's learned to stop and think twice about losing control. He has a weakness for baseball, a sport that died out in the 22nd century and he frequently goes to a holo-suite to have a chat

and a catch with one [of] his legendary ballplayer heroes. Sisko was on a starship with his wife and son at the famous encounter with the Borg led by the Borgified Picard, and his wife was killed. That leads to bitterness toward Picard. Picard: Have we met before? Sisko: Yes, we met in battle. Since that tragedy, he has been assigned to shore duty on Mars where he was on the team reconstructing the fleet at Utopia Planitia Yards. Sisko objected to being assigned to DS9. He told Starfleet he had a son to raise and had been asking for an Earth assignment, not this. His important work on DS9 gives him a new direction, but his is still very much a life framed by tragedy.
Casting
When Avery Brooks'agent first rang him to tell him that there was a role available in a new Star Trek show, Brooks laughed, because he instinctively felt he was going to be offered a role requiring heavy prosthetics, which he wasn't interested in doing (though he ended up doing so anyway, in "Apocalypse Rising"). After finding out the role was that of a Human, Brooks was still unconvinced, and of his pursuit of the role he said, "This will never work." Indeed, on his way to his audition for the part, the transmission in his car began to slip, so he called the producers and nonchalantly told them he couldn't make it; he was surprised when they rearranged his audition. It was ultimately the quality of the script for "Emissary"

He did, however, briefly serve as adjutant to Admiral Ross, temporarily turning over his command to Dax. (Star Trek Monthly issue 38) Around the same time, Ron D. Moore in an unrelated matter described Sisko as having evolved since the start of the series in that he had "grown accustomed to the idea that he may never get admiral's stars" and preferring to remain a captain on the frontier. (AOL chat, 1997) (AOL chat, 1997)
In Black and Brown Planets: The Politics of Race in Science Fiction, the authors write: "Perhaps after watching black actor Avery Brooks play Captain Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–99), Americans no longer were alienated by the idea of electing a black man as the U.S. President".
Sisko underwent a major change ofappearance between Seasons 3 and 4, shaving his head and growing a beard. This coincided with Avery Brooks reprising the role of Hawk in a Spenser: For Hire TV movie in which Hawk sported the same look.
Other actors who auditioned for the role of Sisko were Robert Gwilym, Keith Allen, Pip Torrens, Ralph Brown, Anthony Head, Jolyon Baker, Peter Firth, Nick Brimble, Stefan Kalipha and Peter Capaldi (who later became the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who). [6]
Documentary
In the documentary What We Left Behind, the writers of DS9 pitch a new episode, where Sisko returns from the Prophets twenty years after the series.

In the DS9 relaunch novels, Sisko returns from the Celestial Temple in the novel Unity, on the day that his daughter (β) Rebecca is born, and subsequently

restauranteur from Wisconsin who shopped at Gridley-Maxon for fresh vegetables, and asked him if he would be interested in buying a shipment of meat. Marino answered, "Yes." The following Saturday Taylor relayed the information to Allen, who said, "Good. When I get one, I'll let you know." Later that month, Allen informed Taylor that he "had a load of meat" and that Taylor should "get in touch" with Marino. The following day Allen and Taylor met and proceeded together to Irene Perkins' residence. With Perkins, Allen's girlfriend, present, a call was placed to Marino, who rejected the shipment explaining he needed only "boxed beef" and not the lamb offered along with beef. Coldway Express Co. records show that in September ashipment of beef and lamb was destined for Washington, D.C. driven by Allen. It was not long, however, before Allen could fill Marino's order. Coldway Express Co. records show that later on September 24, 1976, the carrier assigned Allen to drive a load of beef to the Washington, D.C. area. The wholesale value of the shipment was $61,404.37.

After the truck was loaded, Allen contacted Taylor. "He told me to come over," Taylor testified, "he had a straight load of beef." From Perkins' apartment, Allen and Taylor phoned Marino. After some negotiations between Allen and Marino, Marino agreed to pay Allen $20,000 in cash. They planned a delivery that night. After the call Allen instructed Taylor to drive his own car

when Mötley Crüe opened for Ozzy and Sharon was running an especially tight ship.
"This is the most evil, shittiest woman I've ever met," he added. Osbourne shot back with some choice words of her own.
"He (Neil) has murdered somebody in a car," Sharon Osbourne told the New York Post last week. "He crippled two other people and he is still driving drunk. And that is why I used to keep my husband away from him."
Hanoi Rocks member Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley was killed in Neil's car when Neil was driving drunk in 1984, for which he served a jail term.
Neil was arrested again in June in Las Vegas on suspicion of drunk driving, a week after he released a solo album, also called "Tattoos and Tequila" -- a setof classic rock covers.
HARSH WORDS FOR BANDMATES
Neil told Reuters he doesn't like talking about himself. But he wanted to give his side of the storied history of the band, which has sold about 25 million albums in the United States alone.
Mötley Crüe released a best-selling band biography called "The Dirt" in 2001.
"There's been so much written about Mötley Crüe. I've never really had a voice", Neil said of his autobiography.
"This was my experience with Sharon 25 years ago. She was not very kind to Mötley Crüe," he added in an interview.
Osbourne is not the only target.
Neil, who split from Mötley Crüe in 1992 and rejoined in 1997, keeps some of his harshest words for his bandmates, whom he has compared to siblings with whom he feuds.
