unleash the textuality that rips the fabric of the cultural
text. To conclude, then, is only to urge a beginning, to urge that we attend to
this cry as a cry of female textuality, a cry that links "Elizabeth"
to her "foolish" aunt and to the tormented mother in Bishop's story,
"In the Village." In this way we can approach the poem's cry, in
Stevens's words, as the "cry of its occasion" and begin to engage the
issues of gender and constraint that are so deeply involved in Bishop's story of
"oh!"
"In the Waiting Room," then, properly tells
or narrates the "growth of a poet's mind." The poet originates in the
recognition of her separation from, and identity with, her world, at once
finding and losing her "self." Her birth or awakening comes with a
scream from inside thedentist's office that is also the voice of the child in
the waiting room, since "inside" says "either." When the
child produces her explanation, she is a poet:
How—I didn't know any
word for it—how "unlikely" . . .
To explain an identity in nature, she finds the word "unlikely";
the perception of sameness is unlikely, because it is more than a likeness or
likely. If all accounts of phenomena are likely stories only, the breach that
gives birth to the poet is an origin that both is and is unlikely. This
is also the breach of metaphor—unlikely identities. The scream, which is not
"like" the child's voice but is hers all the same, signals a
birth into natural identity and an unlikely language. For one's identity, one's
sameness with and difference from others and objects, comes to be adequately
revealed

and interest in reading,
her acute powers of observation and her anxiety about growing up a woman--is a
prefiguration of the adult poet or "minor female Wordsworth." Elizabeth Bishop
looks back in this poem (in what will be her final book) on her anxious and overwhelmed
child self with still-fresh empathy, but with the assurance and control of the
accomplished artist.
On the broadest level, "In the Waiting Room," like other Bishop poems,
inscribes the terrifying instability of the "I" and individual identity as the
traditional bounds between inside and outside, self and world collapse into mere
boundlessness and flux: "Why should I be my aunt, / or me, or anyone?," the
child asks, as the waiting room begins "sliding / beneath a big black, wave, /
another and another." But the poem also registers the girlchilds terror and
resistanceas she experiences her identification with other women as a fall into
the oppression and constraints of gender signified by her "foolish aunt"
and "those awful hanging breasts" she sees in the National Geographic as
she reads and waits in the dentists office. In words that adumbrate Bishops
later refusal to be categorized and anthologized as a woman poet and her lifelong
friendship and struggle with Marianne Moore, the childs terror registers
Bishops own desire for distinction and difference and her simultaneous fear of
having her historically specific "I" lost and absorbed in the sexual identity
she shared with other women including Marianne Moore.
How had I come to be here,
like them, and overhear
a cry of pain that could have
got loud and worse but hadnt?

"What similarities /made us all just one?" this
"just" indicates that the thought entails a sense of diminishment, one that
makes the child resist this levelling equivalence of self and other. The young Elizabeth
might be seen as rejecting with all her energies the horrifying knowledge that she is like
the people with whom she shares the waiting room. This knowledge is presented in imagery
that resembles that of "At the Fishhouses," where knowledge is presented as a
burning, uninhabitable liquid: "The waiting room was bright / and too hot. It was
sliding / beneath a big black wave, / another, and another." Indeed. The entire world
seems to become insufficiently distinct and separate, as the "night and slush"
outside echo the "big black wave" breaking inside.
From Vernon Shetley, "Elizabeth Bishops Silences," in After the
Death of Poetry:Poet and Audience in Contemporary America (Durham: Duke University
Press, 1993), 55-56
Joanne Feit Diehl
Two poems from Bishop's last volume, Geography III, by means of apparently
contrasting yet structurally similar experiences. "In the Waiting Room" and
"The Moose" both explore the selfs relation to others as they articulate a
moment that interrupts the continuous act of sublimation that enables us to preserve an
ongoing constitutive identity. In each poem, the crisis of that interruption is resolved
through a gesture of reunion with life beyond the self that allows identity to
reconstitute itself in a recognizable form. These poems delineate an ecstasis that recalls
the vertiginous psychic shifts of the experiential Sublime. "In the Waiting
Room," strangers isolated by anxiety and anonymity come together, their status
provisional, for they are on the outside waiting to go in. In "The Moose"

external world and contemporary events. What has threatened her
perception of identity can be traced, at least for its proximate cause, to the grotesque
pictorial representations of man, woman, and child. What so disturbs "Elizabeth"
that she loses the sense of self one takes for granted in order to live in the world? Lee
Edelman addresses this issue:
Though only in the course of reading the magazine does "Elizabeth" perceive
the inadequacy of her positioning as a reader, Bishop's text implies from the outset the
insufficiency of any mode of interpretation that claims to release the meaning it locates
"inside" a text by asserting its own ability to speak from a position of mastery
"outside" of it. For this reason everything that "Elizabeth"encounters
in the pages of the National Geographic serves to disturb the stability of a binary
opposition.
Thisdisturbance incorporates, moreover, a questioning of the internalized structures
and cultural codes that inform the interpretation of experience. If Bishop's sexual
poetics more generally deconstructs the binary oppositions of heterosexist discourse,
"In the Waiting Room" addresses a related epistemological concern that arises
from Bishop's destabilization of the distinctions by which persons organize information
about themselves and their world. Edelman continues, "Though Bishop's text, then, has
challenged the stability of distinctions between inside and outside, male and female,
literal and figurative, human and bestial, young 'Elizabeth' reads on from her own
position of liminality in the waiting room until she confronts, at last, an image of women
and their infants: . . ." By focusing on "Elizabeth's" vexed response to
the horrific image of maternal sexuality, Edelman introduces us to the larger question of
female sexuality in Bishop's work as

he urges us to hear the "oh!" that
"emanates from inside the dentist's office, and from inside the waiting room, and
from inside the National Geoqraphic, and from inside 'In the Waiting Room.' It is a
cry that cries out against any attempt to clarify its confusions because it is a female
cry - a cry of the female - that recognizes the attempts to clarify it as attempts to put
it in its place." That voice of protest emanating from an epistemological
uncertainty, echoes throughout Bishop's work in poems that reengage the mediations between
rhetoric and sexual identity. The fall away from awareness of distinctions disrupts the
assurance of a constitutive identity, and the restoration of that identity through the
intervention of the external is akin to the final stage of the experiential Sublime,
wherein the poet'sbeing human. And she wants to be sure to
make it through the perception of an individual, an "Elizabeth."
"In the Waiting Room" may be seen as a prelapsarian poem of anticipation of
that social state that precedes the acceptance of received namings; "Crusoe in
England" may be read as a postlapsarian meditation on the originating power of naming
and renaming. In reinventing the social world that connects the two, she seems willing to
reconsider all forms of "name" appropriation: place, family, sex, generation,
things. Discovering a world where (as Stevens found) "Mrs. Anderson's Swedish baby /
Might well have been German or Spanish," she then rejects all such forms of naming as
well as (what Foucault calls) "author construction." Each poem reenacts
"birth, procreation, and death" as a debate between naming and unnaming, the
loss imposed by a

man is here regarded as a food

The verbal unknown occasions further confusion as the childs eye traces the
physical, sexual uncertainties of uncovered women. So foreign are the native unnamed women
"with necks / wound round and round with wire" that the child "reads"
right through them: "I read it straight right straight through. / I was too
shy to stop" [emphasis added]. Unable to name, the child resorts to the tense comfort
of the unnamed: "it." She retreats from the shifting planes of unnamed,
unnamable uncertainty to the fixity of that which bears a name: "the cover: / the
yellow margins, the date." Such is the force of Dickinson's notch in the maelstrom.
Unable to read her way into the larger constellation of human beings, the child
nevertheless recognizes the sounded family identity when she hearsit. Like the auditor in
"The Country Mouse," this child hears from the inside out. History and memory
fuse, creating a new identity for her:
What took me
completely by surprise
was that it was me:
my voice, in my mouth.
Without thinking at all
I was my foolish aunt,
Iwewere falling, falling,
our eyes glued to the cover
of the National Geographic,
February, 1918.
The intensity of this "it" draws upon the accumulated chain of reference:
"winter," "dark early," "Babies with pointed heads,"
"horrifying breasts," and Aunt Consuelo's "oh! of pain."
Acceding to the social demands, the effect of her aunt's voic,. the child involuntarily
discovers her own collective voice: I becomes we. Dates, like names or Aunt
Consuelo's voice, momentarily pierce the surface of the "cold, blue-black
space"the sea of habit threatening the child's consciousness. She has lost
perceived autonomy even as she has gained a

for Bishop. She may require (what Beckett calls) a
"temporal specification""fifth / of February, 1918"to
allow her "to measure the days that separate [her] from that menace" (that which
threatens identity). The "falling off" enacted in this poem is the fall into
social identity, restrictive or inaccurate naming. The alternative seems to be the
"big black wave" of annihilation or namelessness. To be "back in it"
is to survive with a social surfacename, age, gender, placeat odds with the
continually unnamed self. "The War was on" presages a career intensely committed
to slipping the yoke of social identity and changing the rules of the name game.
The child of "In the Waiting Room" advances with uncertainty from the
passivity of reader to the tentative aggressiveness of writerto the authority of
authorship. The socializing power of language itself lures thediscern that the world of women, with whom she is suddenly
identified, includes many women of many colors, including white.
While waiting for her Aunt Consuela in the dentist's office, the young Elizabeth scans
through a National Geographic. She surveys among the pictures some black, naked
women with interesting necks:
wound round and round with wire
like the necks of light bulbs.
Their breasts were horrifying.
(Complete Poems 159)
While she is reading, her Aunt Consuela lets out an "Oh!" of pain, and
the young Elizabeth of the poem experiences a moment of sheer empathy with the aunt. She
empathizes in multiple confusing ways: with the pain, the fact of Aunt Consuela's
femaleness, with the family sound of the voice. The sensation is overwhelming and causes a
feeling of vertigo for Elizabeth.

poem "In
the Waiting Room" and the prose narrative, "In the Village".
Although others, most notably Lee Edelman, have written at length on "In
the Waiting Room", I wish to focus on the dynamics specifically associated
with the handling of aggression. In this poem, the almost-seven-year-old
Elizabeth passes the time in the dentist's waiting room reading the National
Geographic and "carefully" studying photographs that represent
various kinds and consequences of aggression:
The inside of a volcano,
black, and full of ashes;
then it was spilling over
in rivulets of fire.
. . . . . . . . . . .
A dead man slung on a pole
—"Long Pig," the caption said.
Babies with pointed heads
wound round and round with string;
black, naked women with necks
wound round and round with wire
like the necks of light bulbs.
Their breasts were horrifying. (159)
What she witnesses inthe magazine is a prelude to what she hears:
Suddenly, from inside,
came an oh! of pain
—Aunt Conseulo's voice—
not very loud or long. (160)
The confusion surrounding the origins of the cry, whether it comes from the
girl or the aunt, or both, initiates a vertiginous loss of identity. The cry
results from an act of clinical performance that might be construed as a form of
prophylactic aggression situated in an oral site. The cry emerges from inside an
identification that the girl assumes with the aunt. To offset the vertiginous
feelings that issue from this fusion of identities, the girl says to herself,
"three days / and you'll be seven years old". She inserts the language
of fact between the conclusion precipitated by her perceptions of aggression,
both visual and aural, and the sense of individuality she strives

to maintain.
Almost lost to the uncanny experience of merger between herself and her aunt,
between herself and the images in the National Geographic—something
pulls her back—the "cry of pain . . . could have / got loud and worse but
hadn't". On the verge of being overcome by sensation,
The waiting room was bright
and too hot. It was sliding
beneath a big black wave,
another, and another: (161)
the self is returned to ongoing reality, to the matter-of-fact. The process
of recuperation is silent, transpiring in the space between the poem's closing
stanzas:
Then I was back in it.
The War was on. Outside,
in Worcester, Massachusetts,
were night and slush and cold,
and it was still the fifth
of February, 1918. (161)
Whatever psychic processes are enacted within that trans-stanzaic silence,
the outcome is a return to the quotidian, the facticity of dailiness that
orientsthat the movement of this poem enacts a
characteristic version of the sublime with a three phase progress from an
initial state of equilibrium into a state of terror and confusion brought about
by the unsettling eruption of a sublime idea, to end with the mind's
reappropriation of equilibrium, though on a higher or transcendent level.
"In the Waiting Room" recalls a childhood moment of terror about
individual and human identity and shapes it into a characteristic expression of
the "sublime".

to build an ongoing and highly effective support network. Rather than indiscriminately dumping the clothing at various encampments, FDL has built a network of liasons and representatives to ensure that it goes to the places that need it most, and that it reaches those who will use it for its intended purpose: primarily, the "sleeper" protesters, largely impoverished, who form the backbone of the camps. Beyond that, FDL has expended great efforts to ensure that the goods it distributes are manufactured not in Chinese sweatshops but rather entirely by American unions -- a difficult challenge in this age of disappearing American industry -- which in turn ensures that the workers producing the products enjoy health insurance, living wages, and a decent standard of living: aims of the Occupymovement itself.

That last point underscores one of the most significant aspects of the Occupy movement: that it is not devoted to voicing grievances as much as it is finding a model to solve them. It's one thing to demand middle class conditions for American workers; it's another to help sustain them by patronizing unionized manufacturers. It's the difference between talking and doing, and that difference has quietly fueled the Occupy movement from the start.
One of the most striking conversations I had was with an organizer at Occupy Oakland right around the time that media reports began trying to demonize the camps by pointing to the homeless contingent that had become a part of them.

a mind with the former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak," the Electronic Frontier Foundation said on its website. Echoing that comparison, vigorous weekend discussion on Twitter was labelled with the hashtag "muBARTek." Aaron Caplan, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles who specialises in free-speech issues, was equally critical, saying BART clearly violated the rights of demonstrators and other passengers. "We can arrest and prosecute people for the crimes they commit," he said. "You are not allowed to shut down people's cellphones and prevent them from speaking because you think they might commit a crime in the future." Similar questions of censorship have arisen in recent days as Britain's government put the idea of curbing social media services on the table in response to several nightsthe ability to think straight. But Western governments should avoid such knee-jerk reactions as they served only to highlight the perceived hypocrisy in the West's efforts to bring democracy to other parts of the world. "The domestic challenges posed by the internet demand a measured, cautious response in the West," he wrote. "Leaders in Beijing, Tehran and elsewhere are awaiting our wrong-headed moves, which would allow them to claim an international licence for dealing with their own protests."

Slavery Abolition Act , (1833), in British history, act of Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa as well as a small number in Canada . It received Royal Assent on August 28, 1833, and took effect on August 1, 1834.
Several factors led to the Act’s passage. Britain’s economy was in flux at the time, and, as a new system of international commerce emerged, its slaveholding Caribbean colonies—which were largely focused on sugar production—could no longer compete with larger plantation economies such as those of Cuba and Brazil . Merchants began to demand an end to the monopolies on the British market held by the Caribbean colonies and pushed instead for free trade . Thepersistent struggles of enslaved Africans and a growing fear of slave uprisings among plantation owners were another major factor.
Legal challenges to slavery in British North America
British abolitionists had actively opposed the transatlantic trade in African people since the 1770s. (Several abolitionist petitions organized in 1833 alone collectively garnered the support of 1.3 million signatories.) Such antislavery views spread to Upper Canada (later Canada West), influencing the passage there of the 1793 Act to Limit Slavery, the first such legislation in the British colonies.
In the eastern colonies of Lower Canada (what is now Québec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, however, abolitionist attempts had been unsuccessful. In 1793, for instance, Pierre-Louis Panet introduced a bill to the National Assembly to abolish enslavement in Lower Canada, but the bill languished over

taken up along the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, although the remaining dextral strike-slip component of the relative plate motion is accommodated by the North Island Fault System (NIFS).
The focal mechanism of the earthquake, its depth and the distribution of aftershocks show that it was a result of oblique normal faulting within the upper part of the subducting Pacific Plate, with the rupture terminating upwards at the plate interface.
Damage
It was felt strongly down the country, from Auckland in the north to Dunedin in the south, and more than 9,000 reports were submitted by the public to GeoNet, the geological hazards monitoring network. The New Zealand Herald newspaper reported damage to walls and chimneys and road closures in the lower North Island.

I imagine she was quiet and shy, because the woman I know today isn’t outspoken or loud. (I got that trait from my father). I imagine her stepmother called her a whore whenever she saw her dance. (At my wedding, my mom said it was the first time she’d danced in thirty years.) I imagine she loved her older brother so much that when he left to attend high school in America, she never forgave him. (Maybe, anyway.)
The last time she was in the house she grew up in, the Revolutionary Guard was storming into her father’s home, looking to arrest him for sympathies with the Shah. He’d already fled Iran.

chief operating officer of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. in a statement.
During his 82-minute speech to Congress Tuesday evening, Trump cited El Paso as being a success story for a border town with a wall as he continues to call on Congress to come up with a long-term spending agreement that includes $5.7 billion in funds for a physical barrier.
"The border city of El Paso, Texas, used to have extremely high rates of violent crime — one of the highest in the country, and considered one of our Nation's most dangerous cities. Now, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of our safest cities," he said.
The Democratic congresswoman in the room who represents El Paso, Veronica Escobar, did not like that line.
He lies. @POTUSis once again lying and using the #SOTU address to spread falsehoods about our beloved city of El Paso.
Fact is that El Paso has been one of the safest cities in the nation long before the wall was built in 2008. #WallsDontWork — Rep. Veronica Escobar (@RepEscobar) February 6, 2019
"He lies. @POTUS is once again lying and using the #SOTU address to spread falsehoods about our beloved city of El Paso," she tweeted in response. "Fact is that El Paso has been one of the safest cities in the nation long before the wall was built in 2008. #WallsDontWork."
The claim about a drop in crime rate after the wall was built in El Paso has been examined by fact-checkers. An El Paso Times review found the rate of

Associated Press
A jury on Wednesday recommended the death penalty for an Illinois killer who was convicted of murdering five more women in Southern California more than two decades ago.
The Orange County Superior Court jurors made the recommendation after the penalty phasehearing for Andrew Urdiales, 54.
The former Marine was convicted in May of killing five women in California between 1986 and 1995. He is scheduled to be sentenced by a judge on Aug. 31.
Urdiales was previously sentenced to death for killing three women in Illinois in 2002 and 2004. That sentence was commuted to life without parole after Illinois barred the death penalty.
Authorities said Urdiales, who moved to Southern California as a 19-year-old Marine, killed four women while in the military and a fifth while vacationing in Palm Springs in 1995.
He attacked 23-year-old Robbin Brandley after a piano concert at an Orange County community college in 1986 and stabbed her to death in the parking lot. He picked up 29-year-old prostitute Julie McGhee two years later and drove her

to a remote area where he had sex with her, shot her in the head and left her body in the desert, authorities said.
Urdiales attacked and killed six more women in California and in Illinois who were working as prostitutes, authorities said.Library and Archives Canada's move to finally release a 98-year-old document on Ottawa's treatment of sick First Nations children sheds a small sliver of light onto a part of Canada's history still shrouded by the darkness of locked archives, researchers say.
Library and Archives initially refused to release the document under provisions of the Access to Information and Privacy Act that exempts files covered by solicitor-client privilege.
The 1920 document contained a request for advice from Indian Affairs along with the response from the Department of Justice on whether existing provisions in the Indian Act gave officials the power to create regulations allowing for the forcible removal of sick First Nations children.
The document was requested by researcher Edward Sadowski who filed a complaint last October with the federal Office of

deputy and secretary for the department who describes a report from a departmental doctor working on the Peguis First Nation.
The letter describes "the case of a young girl with tubercular spine and the case of a child with eye trouble" who can't be "properly treated in their home but whose parents refuse to permit them to be taken to a hospital for treatment."
A portion of a 98-year-old letter released by Library and Archives Canada which was initially withheld under a provision under the Access to Information and Privacy Act that exempts documents under solicitor-client privilege.
The Indian Affairs official wanted to know whether the department could draft new regulations allowing for the removal of First Nations children from their homes under existing Indian Act provisions.
The Justice Department's deputy ministerresponded saying that a new amendment to the Indian Act was needed to create the regulations.
Sadowski said the Indian Act was amended by 1927, giving the department the powers it wanted.
A 1926 letter from the United Church to Scott revealed why parents didn't want their sick children taken away for treatment to places like Selkirk, Man.
"The Indians seem to object to their children being sent to Selkirk, as they say they never see them again, because of the distance, and because most of them go there to die," said the letter signed by the United Church's general secretary Rev. J. H. Edmison.
Edmison was writing to Scott about the possible construction of an "isolation hospital" for children with tuberculosis near the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School in Kenora, Ont.

billion capital pricetag, are highway projects. A few more are bus projects, such as an Orange Line extension to Burbank and Pasadena, and bus rapid transit on Vermont Avenue feeding the Red and Purple Lines. But the bulk of spending is urban rail, including such projects as future phases of the Wilshire subway to UCLA, an extension of the under-construction Crenshaw light rail line north toward Hollywood, extensions of the Gold Line, and a rail tunnel under the Sepulveda Pass.
It remains to be seen whether anything will come of the 28 by 28 program. In 2010, in the wake of Measure R, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa pitched a similar concept called 30/10. Using federal loans, backed by future Measure R revenues, Villaraigosa proposed constructing 30 years worth of transportationits 'L' system has its rail yards at the end of each line, reducing deadheading. Los Angeles should seek to emulate this feature of Chicago's by building yards at the end of rail lines; this in turn requires the lines to have a consistent end, rather than incrementally extending farther out every few years.
Building a subway line to its natural terminus also makes it easier to reconfigure the buses. Were there a subway from Downtown to Santa Monica under Wilshire, most likely Metro would not need to run many buses on Wilshire, and would divert the resources to connecting routes, including Whittier going east and several north-south lines intersecting Wilshire. Building only part of the way under Wilshire, missing key north-south bus routes, makes for a less efficient

The umpteenth slap in the face that the United Nations Security Council has suffered at the hands of Bashar al-Assad – just ten days earlier the Council had adopted resolution 2209 condemning the use of chlorine gas and chemical weapons in Syria.
Raed was there in Sarmin. He details the 90 wounded, including 20 serious cases, and the 6 victims, a complete family – three children and a grandmother. His voice is calm, and his words are precise. The anger is kept in check, under control, but palpably present. Doubtless permanently engraved in his memory.

A California high school teacher has reportedly been fired after he was heard in a video making disparaging remarks about the military in his classroom.
The El Rancho Unified School District voted unanimously to dismiss the history teacher, Gregory Salcido, on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Times. Salcido has 30 days to appeal the decision, it added.

"The classroom should never be a place where students feel that they are picked at, bullied, intimidated," Aurora Villon, president of the district's Board of Education, told the newspaper.
"His comments do not reflect what we stand for, who we are," Villon said.
Salcido is heard saying military members are “not intellectual people” and “the lowest of out low.”
According to the Facebook post that featured the video, his comments were in reaction to aThe idea of NFN attained first public exposure at the CCNxCon 2012 meeting.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - The United States’ trade wars have allowed Canada’s agriculture industry to pump up sales of soybeans and wheat to China, and pork to Mexico.

But the same tariff battles are undermining commodity prices and eating into Canadian farmers’ profit margins even as they grab more market share.
Their struggles illustrate the complex global consequences of U.S. protectionism as tariffs launched by President Donald Trump spark retaliations and redraw global agricultural supply lines around the globe. In the case of Canada, farmers have become bystanders hit by retaliatory strikes aimed at the United States.
The situation is bad enough toshare in dairy and poultry under revisions to the free trade agreement between the two countries and Mexico.
Like soybean growers, Canadian pig farmers are hurting. Chinese tariffs on U.S. pork have raised alarm about demand, pressuring the U.S. hog prices on which Canadian sales are based.
Canada, the third-largest pork exporter, sold 19.5 percent more pork to Mexico in the first eight months of the year, according to Statistics Canada, including hams that Mexico would normally buy from the United States. The Canadian sales grew after Mexico imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. pork.
But Canada’s overall pork shipments declined, including to China, which is oversupplied, and the United States, its two biggest export markets.
Canadian Pork Council said in a statement in September that hog farmers need government compensation to cover

a current passing through the primary conductor, and the signal available at the terminals of the secondary conductor of the transformer is the image of the derivative as a function of the signal time applied to the primary. The primary conductor is a solid cylindrical conductor cable traversed by the current to be measured and whereof the ends are fixed in contact terminals situated on the counter.
The latter solution poses certain difficulties, however.
Therefore, in the case of an increased measuring current, the diameter of the primary cable must be relatively significant to cause an increase in the section of the cable. This raised section causes augmentation in size, especially in width, and overall cost of the current sensor.

a special "queen cell" in the hive and fed royal jelly by worker bees to induce her to become sexually mature.
A virgin queen that survives to adulthood without being killed by her rivals will take a mating flight with a dozen or so male drones (out of tens of thousands eligible bachelors in the colony). But don't call these drones lucky because during mating, their genitals explode and snap off inside the queen!
Strange as it is, this actually makes evolutionary sense: the snapped-off penis acts as a genital plug to prevent other drones from fertilizing the queen. But tell that to the dead drone whose penis just exploded.
"IN THRUST WE TRUST"
"We were conservative Jews and that meant we obeyed God's Commandments until His rules became a royal painin the ass."
The next critter on the list is a flatworm, which fights other flatworms using its penis. The ritual is sometimes referred to as penis fencing.
Like slugs, flatworms are hermaphrodites, meaning that they have both mail and female sex organs. When a pair square off to mate, they engage in a duel where they each flatworm attempts to stab the other one with their penises (flatworms have at least two peckers). The winner gets off scott free. The loser is inseminated and is stuck with the responsibility of parenting the offspring

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Singer Aretha Franklin in 1970
A long-awaited Aretha Franklin documentary will premiere in New York City - 46 years after being filmed.
Amazing Grace was shot by director Sydney Pollack in 1972, but it spent decades in an unedited form.
Years of legal complications followed, and now it will finally debut at the DOC NYC festival on 12 November, with the support of the singer's estate.
The "queen of soul" - known for hits like Respect and Think - died of cancer in August, aged 76.
The film Amazing Grace was only finished in 2011 because of technical problems.
After that, Franklin and her lawyers blocked the film's release repeatedly, once suing producer Alan Elliot for using her likeness without her permission.
Legal clearance finally came after the singer'sdeath, when her family members were open to seeing the film.
Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Aretha Franklin: In her own words
It was filmed over two nights at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, when Franklin recorded her Amazing Grace album.
However, Pollack - who later won an Oscar for Out of Africa - made a mistake during the 1972 recording.
By not using clapper boards, an essential tool to match sound with footage in a pre-digital age, he made the 20 hours of raw film frustratingly hard to edit.
The Warner Bros studio, which financed the shoot, ultimately gave up, according to the New York Times.
Elliot secured the film's rights in 2007, a year before Pollack died. The producer then assembled a team, who

the public, seemed to have found in the feminist emphasis on "the personal is political" an instrument for its purposes (Eisenstein 2005; Fraser 2009). The feminist emphasis on the political nature of the personal was being recalibrated. On the one hand, what was deemed to be, and would rather remain, private such as the sexual identity of partners or the right to abortion became re-politicized as public matters, but this time by conservative movements. On the other hand, Quietly Reverting Public Matters into Private Troubles 3 the private was recalibrated to refer to "the familial and/or communal sphere," and this sphere was also demarcated as one where the unregulated market can roam freely. Second, neoliberal economic policies have often connected with neoconservative cultural agendas. Politicization of the personalwas reflected in the politicization of life styles at a time when neoconservative movements were on the rise. This can be seen in the regressive politicization of some achievements of the previous era, such as the right to abortion, while the climate became ever more impervious to the demands of relatively new social movements, such as the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). This regressive politicization of the personal, in turn, dialectically necessitated the reassertion of the privacy and intimacy rights (Cohen 2004) and their protection by the state. Those who originally asserted that "personal is political" this time around reflected on the need for the right to privacy. Some feminists, who study gender while highlighting the ever present significance of social class, such as (Benhabib 1992, 2002),

Public I: The state aims to provide more equality, more freedom, and a better quality of life to all its components, through the funds extracted from the citizens (social welfare state). Public II: Instead of the central political association which hosts many particular ethical conceptions, various ethical communities constitute the new publics. Not Public I, but these ethical communities and the private companies run by the members of these communities deliver 'public' services and carry out philanthropic projects and charity activities. Since these activities must be carried out under the imperatives of market rationality, profit becomes the primary aim; charity is at best considered a positive externality and at worst, merely a justificatory façade (the "minimal" state). (Cultural) Private III: The emergence of a sublimated set of traditionalsphere and life style and collectivizes the person's options. Both Private II and Private III, however, recognize the market as the just distributer of social outcomes. This is entirely at odds with the content of the original Public I, which is then recalibrated as Public II and allied with the idea of monoculturalist communities. Public II turns traditional culture into an area where state intervention is justified as a means of preserving culture and insofar as profit maximization and market logic constitute the ultimate rationality. Economic privatization and cultural collectivization, favored by Private II, Private III, and Public II, appeared precisely at a time when state intervention into the economy for egalitarian purposes was delegitimized in the discourse of both the right and the social democratic left alike.

the patriarchy is shaken due to an erosion of its material bases, women already begin to face the neoliberal policy options provided by a neoliberal and religiously oriented government? Demonstrating once again the assertion that "states embody gender regimes" (Connell 1990; Kandiyoti 1991, 431; Arat 2010), the Turkish government7 views women and children as those who need to be protected despite the fact that domestic crimes against women have increased 1400 percent in the last seven years.8 Reflecting its view of women's primary social role, the government changed the name of "Ministry of Women and Family" into "Ministry of Family and Social Policies" and reduced the number of women's shelters. Women's economic dependence on men, their inability to work either due to the lack of affordable childcare oran increase since 2000s, leaving Turkey the single exception that recorded a 12,7 percent decline in female employment between 1988 and 2008. (World Bank 2009, ii, 16). Turkey has the highest gender gap in employment rates (41.9 percent in 2009) in OECD countries. Mexico, which comes closest to Turkey, has a gender gap of 33.3 percent, while the OECD average is almost half of Turkey's (OECD Employment Outlook, 2010). The divorce rate is low-just 1 percent in 2011-compared with the OECD average of 4 percent, while the marriage rate is the highest in the OECD at 66 percent. Turkey's long term unemployment rate was 28.6 percent in 2010.11 According to EUROSTAT, in 2009, the social protection-related spending in EU was 29.5 percent of the gross domestic product compared

systems and financing options will be developed. Yet shortly after this report was released, SHCEK was abolished and its duties were transferred to Family and Social Services and the Child Services General Directorates, both of which are now under the new Ministry of Family and Social Policies. Since the summer of 2012, the Family Ministry and Health Ministry has announced the banning of abortion and C-sections. This proposal is officially being reconsidered following demonstrations and signs of international concern. Nevertheless reports from hospitals around the country show that public hospitals and most private hospitals no longer conduct abortions, even in the case of rape. In addition there are media reports that pregnant women's medical records are being shared with the Health Ministry to determine whether suspicious miscarriages orfamilies, in Turkey despite the strength of the traditional family model, the feminization of poverty has increased and the rate of child poverty is the highest among OECD countries (Candas and Yilmaz 2011). This reflects the structural nature of children's and women's poverty, the result of the state's determination to keep the structure of the traditional family intact.16 Paying means-tested benefits to family caregivers of elderly or disabled members of their family is at first sight, similar to the care policies in Europe,17 yet Turkish policies differ in two fundamental respects. First, in European countries that favored the care-at-home policies, the disabled person himself/ herself receives the cash transfer and pays it to those whom he/she selects as his/her care-givers. In Turkey, the care-at-home scheme seems designed as

statistics. The added "benefit" would be that the Turkish traditional family structure would be preserved. It is precisely this rationale that perpetuates the gendered division of labor by naturalizing it. Neoliberalism, by eroding class and gender compromises established by the welfare states, not only undermines but also depoliticizes social justice-related issues. Hence, defending the goals of gender equality and advancing social justice requires the setting of barriers against the subjection of all social life to the dictates of economic rationality, efficiency, and the logic of commodification.19 Thus, care, which has never attained a formal institutional character in Turkey, is being also entirely deinstitutionalized and re-domesticated as a preemptive measure that would "protect" the traditional family structure from dissolving and to prevent any progress toward gender equality. The currentPrime Minister's words: "I don't believe that men and women are equal, I think they are different" reflects this attitude. While none of the neoliberal states have completely deinstitutionalized their formal care facilities and while some (such as Japan) are even investing in formal care for the first time (Peng 2002, 45), Turkey has begun to abolish the few institutions that existed and to set up a completely private, i.e. family and private facility based, care. Similarly since 2006, there has been sporadic news of the government's plans to subsidize foster care arrangements through provision of salaries and social security to volunteering families. The project seems to be aimed at completely deinstitutionalizing the care of children who do not have families, while supporting-through subsidies-the proliferation of a foster

women's "essential differences" and communities' and individuals' "choices". Second, the government can enjoy this maneuvering capacity when its actions are not subject to public deliberation, scrutiny, and contestation (Pitkin 1981, 329–330). The public character of state's actions is disowned by the state and not politicized by the society. Thus, the state can deny that it is involved in social engineering. Third, women are affirmatively and not transformatively recognized as a primarily care-giving species differentiated by their ability to give birth and take care of their offspring and family members (Fraser 1997). The costs of not politicizing the movement of the gender regime toward a deliberate gender inequality are very high.

District CIO
In the ninth annual Digital School Districts Survey from the Center for Digital Education and the National School Boards Association, three school districts received top honors for technology integration.
The technology and education department at St. Michael-Albertville High School (St. Michael, Minn.) received the Program Excellence Award at the 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) conference, recently held in Ohio.
Don't have enough credit hours to teach a subject in high school? Apply to a Kansas tech school and teach the college course. Yes, some Kansas tech schools have advertised for instructors of general education courses and the minimum requirement is a bachelor’s degree with 24 credit hours of coursework in the subject taught.
The Board of Education is considering three separate policies geared toward improving the useand security of technology in Howard County (Md.) schools: Ensuring the proper security of all technology within the school system, defining the acceptable use of technology with the school system, and determining the proper use of social media among students and teachers.
The School District of Beloit, Wis. is hiring a Career Technical Education administrator. The new administrator will be in charge of all career technical education programming in the district, including its relationship with Blackhawk Technical College, overseeing advisory committees and curriculum development, working with the counselors for career exploration programming, and more.
District IT leaders are prioritizing BYOD, assessment readiness, and broadband access for their schools, despite that 80 percent predict flat or declining IT budgets for the upcoming year, according to the Consortium for School Networking’s (CoSN)

When Angela Merkel first came into office in 2005, George W Bush was in the White House, Tony Blair was British prime minister, and the Elysée Palace was occupied by Jacques Chirac.
The German chancellor’s announcement on Monday that she would not seek re-election as head of her ruling centre-right CDU party and that her fourth term as chancellor would be her last, heralds the end of an era in which she has dominated German and European politics.
Merkel has been a symbol of steadiness and continuity. The departure of the EU’s de facto leader before Germany’s next federal elections – due in 2021 – comes as the continent’s political stability and consensus are arguably at greater risk than at any time since the end of the second world war.
Merkel’sdecision follows a succession of poor election results that began with last year’s federal vote, when the CDU slumped to its worst return since 1949. Regional polls in Bavaria and – this weekend – in Hesse, where the party plunged 11 points to 27%, weakened her further.
After months of fraught negotiations, Merkel’s damaged conservatives renewed a weakened and unpopular coalition with their traditional centre-left rivals, the Social Democratic party (SPD). In an ever more fragmented European political landscape, both are now paying the price as voters turn their backs on the traditional parties of government.
Held together more by a fear of the alternative – and, in particular, the further rise of the far-right AfD – than by any driving policy ambitions, the governing alliance in Berlin lacks clear,

a million refugees, mostly Muslims fleeing wars and poverty in the Middle East and beyond, as having speeded her departure, diminishing her authority, dividing her party, her country and its European partners, and boosting support for anti-immigrant parties.
At home, all eyes will will be focused on whether Merkel can manage to stage a smooth exit. In theory, her announcement that she will not be standing again for the party’s leadership at its conference in December should – while she remains chancellor – allow a new CDU chair to build a strong electoral profile before 2021.
But events may well intervene. Merkel is under heavy pressure from her ailing SPD partners to deliver more policy results. The centre-left party, whose vote share has plummeted to an all-time low, could yetsaid that he had asked for a report from the state body on the episode. Kamat said that he had written to the sports authority of Goa to discontinue Ganguly’s services immediately. “He was recommended after many parents requested he be allowed to train students as he was a good coach,” NDTV quoted Kamat as saying.
Goa Swimming Association Secretary Syed Abdul Majid said that Ganguly’s contract had been terminated after they came across the video. “We appointed him because he had a good track record as a coach. There were no prior complaints [of misbehaviour] against him,” he told PTI.
The Goa Legislative Assembly, in 2017, had passed a resolution congratulating Ganguly and a few other coaches for their performance in the 63rd National Games.

was designed to remove Athenians who aimed for a return to tyranny.
This dubious notoriety is reflected in a condensed form in the story of Agariste's dream, which Herodotus relates (6.131). According to this historian, just before the birth of the future stratēgos, the mother of Pericles dreamed that she gave birth to a lion. If regarded as a sign sent by the gods, the dream seemed a mark of special favor, prefiguring an exceptional destiny for the child about to be born. However, this was a sign that was, to say the least, ambiguous: in the first place, because that dream evoked legends surrounding the births of certain tyrants, in particular that of Cypselus of Corinth; and second, because the dream's content was in itself equivocal. Ever sincenot by chance that several major revolts broke out within this league that now had no purpose. In 447/6 Euboea revolted against Athens, which, after putting down the uprising, imposed democratic systems on the island and installed cleruchies, garrisons of Athenian soldiers, who settled there. It was at this point that the city of Histiaea became the cleruchy of Oreos. In 440/39, the island of Samos was pacified after a long siege, as was then the city of Byzantium. The vocabulary used to speak of the league and its members now changed: the Athenians spoke no longer of their hēgemonia but of their arkhē—their domination—and they now referred to the league members as hupēkooi, dependents, not allies. During the Peloponnesian War, the revolts multiplied, prompting the Athenians to

THE COMPLETE MARIA CHRONICLES, 2009-2010
Most writing in the vast discourse about American education is analytic and/or prescriptive: It tells. Little of that writing is actually done by active classroom teachers. The Maria Chronicles, like the Felix Chronicles that preceded them (see directly below), takes a different approach: They show. These (very) short stories of moments in the life of the fictional Maria Bradstreet, who teaches U.S. history at Hudson High School, located somewhere in metropolitan New York, dramatize the issues, ironies, and realities of a life in schools. I hope you find them entertaining. And, just maybe, useful, whether you’re a teacher or not.–Jim Cullen

When supplies were depleted and vaccination was suspended in 1999 for approximately a decade, respiratory illnesses due to adenovirus infections resurged. In March 2011, a new live, oral adenovirus vaccine was licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration and was first universally administered to military recruits in October 2011, leading to rapid, dramatic elimination of the disease within a few months.

CONCLUSION Racial Feelings in the Post–9/11 World In the opening scene of the film Man Push Cart (2005), written and directed by Ramin Bahrani, a pushcart vendor named Ahmad (played by Ahmad Razvi) starts his workday. The first seven minutes of the film have minimal dialogue but are full of activity, with the camera focused on Ahmad conducting the daily rituals of the immigrant service class. In the early-morning hours, he arrives at a busy warehouse to find his pushcart. After loading the cart with goods to sell throughout the day, he drags it through the yellow cab–filled streets of Manhat- tan, a scene depicted several times in the film, making his way to Midtown to sell co√ee, donuts, and bagels. With much e√ort, thedvds to working class men of color. Not only does he su√er from the economic obligations of migration; he also has to prove himself within his familial and social network. He is a single father who must earn enough money to reclaim his son from his in-laws, who refuse to give the child up until Ahmad earns enough money to support him. As the pressure to make money rises, Ahmad’s emotions begin to take a toll. In an act of blind compassion, he takes in an abandoned kitten, which becomes a symbol of his immigrant condition and his slowly unraveling social bonds. He carefully feeds the sick kitten milk and wipes away its vomit; in the end, though, Ahmad must dig a grave for the newborn. Each day

The bottom of the law school market just keeps on dropping.
Enrollment numbers of first-year law students have sunk to levels not seen since 1973, when there were 53 fewer law schools in the United States, according to the figures just released by the American Bar Association. The 37,924 full- and part-time students who started classes in 2014 represent a 30 percent decline from just four years ago, when enrollment peaked at 52,488.
The recession was in full swing then, and many college graduates looked at law school, as they have many times in the past, as a sure ticket to a good job.

Bio
Sulley made it into the popular college Monsters University at age 18, and received his job not long afterwards and became a scarer, one of the best the company has ever seen in their many years of activity. He is best friends with Mike, who also served as Sulley's scare assistant. After an unexpected adventure involving getting a child back to her room, Sulley realized that it is better for the company to collect laughs instead of screams, so Sulley now became the head of the company and changed the main role to collecting laughs.
Sulley was top scarer of Monsters, Inc. and was naturally afraid of humans due to their rumored "toxic touch" that could kill the biggest monsters in an instant – until he met Boo, ahuman girl who found her way into the monster world and into the factory. Sulley, who was initially hesitant, became Boo's protector and obtained a fatherly role to the human. Constantly worrying about her and protecting her from harm while at the same time unlocking the secrets that humans were not as deadly as rumored. Starting by treating Boo like a pet, he eventually grew to care for her, the attention drawing away from a jealous Mike. Randall Boggs, Sulley's arch-nemesis who also wants to be top scarer (and eventually, CEO of Monsters, Inc.), tries to use Boo in an experiment to forcibly extract screams for the growing energy crisis that relies on their cries to provide, and risking his friendship with Mike, Sulley comes to her rescue

and in the process discovers that a child's laughter is 10 times more powerful than scream. Sometime after Mr. Waternoose, the former CEO of Monsters, Inc., is arrested by the CDA for assisting Randall in kidnapping crime, Sulley becomes the new CEO and changes the policy to obtain children's laughter instead, turning the energy crisis around.
Sometime after the events of the film, Sulley announces Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me, a company play that stars Mike, who has also directed, produced, and written the play, in front of the audience and he appears in the play as a co-star.
In the short, Mike shows his new car to Sulley and brings him outside while telling him not to peek. When Mike tells Sulleyto open his eyes and asks him what he thinks of the car, Sulley asks him what was wrong with the old car, to which Mike replied, "That's 3 little words, Sulley: 6-wheel drive!", then they both got in. Unfortunately for Mike, Sulley accidentally ruins the car by doing various different things, and Mike eventually told Sulley to get out, but ruined the car himself when he sped off.
Sulley reappears in the prequel. He is shorter, skinnier, and shaggier.
From Official Website:

When it comes to Scaring, Sulley’s a natural—his abundant size, fierce roar and family legacy of a long line of high-achieving Scarers make him a shoo-in for the esteemed Scare Program at Monsters University. But from the moment the overly confident monster steps his big furry feet on

campus, it’s clear he’d rather crack jokes than books — and he learns the hard way that his unfettered talent and family ties can only get him so far. With his ego bruised and future in jeopardy, a stubborn Sulley must put his pride aside, team up with an odd bunch of misfit monsters and actually work if he wants to live up to his true Scaring potential.
”
An 18-year-old Sulley appears in Monsters University as an arrogant, yet friendly, monster who thinks that his family name is enough to get him into the scaring business. He is quick to clash with Mike, who he considers to have lower chances of becoming a scarer than himself. He joins the fraternity Roar Omega Roar, only to be kicked out afterhis and Mike's rivalry causes them to be booted from the scaring program. He decides to join Oozma Kappa in order to get back into the scaring program, but he fears that Oozma Kappa will lose the Scare Games because they aren't significantly scary. He eventually develops from Mike's rival to his friend, although he doesn't find Mike scary enough to win and tampers with the equipment so that Mike will register a good score. As a result, Oozma Kappa wins, but Mike finds out that Sulley cheated and enters the human world to prove himself a good scarer. Feeling guilty, Sulley confesses his cheating to Dean Hardscrabble and risks his life to get Mike back from the human world; however, the door is deactivated, stranding the duo.

Tokyo Mater with a car version of Mike.
Originally, Sulley was going to be a janitor and not a scarer in one early version of the first film. This is referenced in Monsters University in a montage of Sulley and Mike's jobs climbing the ranks to become scarers, one of the jobs being a janitor.
According to the original treatment from the DVD, Sulley's working name was Johnson and instead of being the best scarer as seen in the first film, he was a clumsy monster who was very bad at his job.
In another early draft, one of his original names was Hob, and instead of working as a scarer, he actually worked for a TV show.
One prototype drawing of Sulley showed him with brown fur, while another showed himwearing glasses, and a third showed him with tentacles. The reason for Sulley to be drawn with legs for his final design is due to the fact that the animators were afraid that the viewers would focus too much on the tentacles instead of his face had he be drawn with such.
A drawing of Sulley appears on a wood carving in the Witch's house in the Pixar film Brave.
The toilet cover that resembles Sulley's fur in Partysaurus Rex.

John Goodman, Sulley's voice actor, also voiced Pacha from The Emperor's New Groove, Baloo from The Jungle Book 2, and Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff from The Princess and the Frog.
Sulley's design was said to be based on that of a prehistoric giant ground sloth.
Sulley has 5.5 million rendered hairs in Monsters University, 5 times as many as in Monsters, Inc.
Physically, Sulley has 5,475,458 hairs on his body. He weighs 985 pounds.
It is revealed in Monsters University that Sulley's father is actually named Bill Sullivan.
At one point, they made Sulley wear glasses, which was a bad idea because it was hard to see the eye expressions of the character.
In France, Sulley's name is spelled Sulli.

The internet can't stop talking about it.
You may have heard or seen the name "JonBenét Ramsey" floating around recently, and are probably wondering why. The former child beauty queen made headlines in 1996 after she was found murdered in her home a day after Christmas.
Twenty years later, JonBenét is in the news again thanks to new documentaries about the case from Netflix, CBS, Dateline NBC, and A&E. Her brother Burke, who was 9 at the time of her slaying, also recently spoke to Dr. Phil about the case in a series of interviews. He's now suing CBS over insinuations in their recent documentary that Burke was in fact the killer.
This was a tragic incident that gripped the nation, and unfortunately, JonBenét's death is

still unsolved. The main suspects were always her family members — either one of her parents or Burke. As most of us are probably too young to remember the details, here's a short explainer on what we know about what happened to the young pageant star.
WHO
JonBenét Ramsey was a 6-year-old child beauty queen who lived with her family in Boulder, Colorado. Her father, John, was a computer services company executive, and her mother, Patricia (Patsy), was a stay-at-home mom. She had one older brother, Burke, and an older half-brother, John.
On the morning of December 26, 1996, JonBenét's mother found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for her daughter's safe return. The note said that the kidnappers would monitor the collection of the money and that JonBenét would be returnedas soon as it was paid. Patsy called the police, who did a search of the house, but couldn't find any signs that someone had broken in.
Interestingly, $118,000 is the exact amount that John received as a bonus that year from his company.
After Patsy called the police JonBenét's body was eventually found in the home's basement eight hours later.
Patsy and John said that Burke slept through the entire thing and only woke up when police arrived, The Daily Beast reports. Police also determined that the ransom note was written with a pen and paper from the Ramsey's house and also found what appeared to be a practice draft of the note in the house.
HOW
The young girl was found with her wrists bound and duct tape over her mouth.

A cord was twisted around her neck, and the cause of death was officially listed as asphyxiation by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma, per a death certificate obtained by the Associated Press. It is also believed that she was sexually assaulted.
WHO
Initially, law enforcement officers suspected a member of her family was involved in the murder, but in 2008, all members were cleared thanks to DNA testing, CNN reports. Instead, DNA testing points to an “unknown male” as the murder suspect. All family members always maintained their innocence.
As the investigation progressed, there were certain details that surfaced, including the fact that the killer may have left a footprint on a suitcase placed below a broken basement window at the Ramsey's house, the Denver Post reports. For a while, policeAn Investigation into the JonBenét Ramsey Case, the Media and the Culture of Pornography, that suggested her murderer was obsessed with child pornography. JonBenét’s role in childhood pageants attracted a pedophile, who killed her, he theorized. And in 2006, a man named John Mark Karr confessed to the killing, though DNA later ruled him out. Other conspiracy theorists say Katy Perry is actually JonBenét.
Burke says the whole ordeal has made him a very private person. "For a long time, the media basically made our lives crazy,” he said. "Seeing that as a little kid is just kind of a chaotic nightmare.”

of the fossil moths was produced not by pigments, however, but by physical structure.
Moth wings contain patterns of microscopic structures including ridges, cross-ribs, and branching micro-ribs. When light bounces off of these structures, it scatters in a specific way, producing visible color.
Structural color exists in insects, birds, mammals, fish, and even plants. In September, McNamara and her colleagues reported that they'd deciphered the structural colors of ancient beetle fossils. Moths presented a more sophisticated challenge. "[Structural colors] are most diverse, and most complex, in butterflies and moths," McNamara said in her presentation.
With that complexity in mind, she and her colleagues studied a collection of fossil moths unearthed from the oil shales of Messel, Germany, a site famous among paleontologists for its exceptionally preserved fossils. The moths were similarto modern-day forester moths, a group of bright metallic moths in the family Zygaenidae.
Studying the microscopic structures in the fossil moths' wings, the researchers reconstructed how the insects appeared in life. The moths' bodies were bright yellow-green, and they also sported yellow-green wings rimmed in blue. Unlike their modern cousins, however, these fossil moths did not appear metallic.
Moth and butterfly scales are made up of layered sheets that typically produce iridescent colors. These colors appear to change hue, and seem to flash on and off, depending on the viewing angle.
But the fossil moths suppressed their shimmer and flash. Various physical structures such as tiny holes and well-spaced ridges on the moths scales dampened the iridescence, resulting in bright, solid color that was visible from nearly any angle.

a low power density High Temperature Super-conducting (HTS) electric machine. The coil support withstands the high centrifugal and tangential forces that would otherwise act on the SC coil. The coil housings are positioned end-to-end along the long side sections of the coil winding in order to evenly distribute the centrifugal and tangential forces that act on the coil. To reduce the heat leakage, the mass of the coil support has been minimized to reduce thermal conduction from the rotor through support into the cold coil. The coil support is maintained at cryogenic temperatures, as is the field winding.
The coil support system includes a series of coil support assemblies that span between opposite sides of the racetrack coil winding. Each coil support assembly includes a tension rod and arotor assembly time, improves coil support quality, and reduces coil assembly variations.
In a first embodiment, the invention is a rotor for a synchronous machine comprising: a rotor core; a super-conducting coil winding extending around at least a portion of the rotor core, the coil winding having a side section adjacent a side of the rotor core; at least one tension rod extending through a conduit in the rotor core; and a housing attached to the tension rod and connected to the side section of the coil winding, wherein the housing comprises a pair of side panels.

Of the world’s 50 most dangerous cities, 43 are located in Latin America and the Caribbean. InSight Crime looks at some of the factors driving the violence.
Business Insider revived the list in a recent publication, based on a report from the Mexican Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice that came out earlier this year, ranking cities around the world by their homicide rates. With the exception of Cape Town, South Africa, the 20 most violent cities are in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Of the 50 urban areas with the highest homicide rates, 16 are located in Brazil, nine in Mexico, six in Colombia, and five in Venezuela (see map below). San Pedro Sula in Honduras was ranked as the most violent city in the world for

the third consecutive year, followed by Caracas, Venezuela and Acapulco, Mexico.
InSight Crime has identified the top five criminal dynamics that have helped make Latin America’s cities the most violent in the world:
1. Booming Domestic Drug Markets
Various Latin American countries have seen a substantial increase in the size of their domestic drug markets, spurring the rise of local criminal groups. Brazil is now the world’s second largest market for cocaine and its derivatives, after the United States, while Argentina, Peru and Colombia have also seen significant growth in their domestic markets in recent years.
As local criminal groups emerge to supply local markets, turf wars over transport and sales territory can lead to spikes in murder rates. This is one of the factors driving homicides in Brazil, which has seenthe domestic drug trade expand beyond Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and into the rest of the country. Gangs have spread to the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil, home to several of the cities on the list including Salvador (#13), Natal (#12), João Pessoa (#9) and Fortaleza (#7). The same dynamic is seen with larger criminal organizations, like the First Capital Command (PCC), which originated in São Paulo and now has a presence in 24 of Brazil’s 27 states.
2. The Fragmentation of Organized Crime
Latin America has seen the fall of many major drug kingpins in recent years, causing criminal organizations to splinter into smaller factions. Without the manpower to carry out large-scale transnational drug trafficking operations, these smaller groups typically turn to more localized — and

of domestic drug markets. Transnational criminal organizations also set up operations in transit nations to oversee drug trafficking, and bring violence with them.
One example of this phenomenon is Venezuela, home to five of the world’s most violent cities, including Caracas, which is ranked as number two. Venezuela is a major transshipment point for Colombian cocaine and has seen Colombian criminal groups battle for control of drug trafficking routes. Four of the five Venezuelan cities on the list are near the coast, and may serve as transit points for drug shipments headed to the United States and Europe via maritime routes.
Honduras has also seen violence surge and street gangs grow more sophisticated as the country has become a major drug transit hub. Honduras is home to the world’s mostviolent city, San Pedro Sula, which is located near the border with Guatemala and close to Puerto Cortes, Honduras’ main port. The city also has a major gang problem, with the Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) and Barrio 18 battling for control of the local drug trade, and the presence of the Sinaloa Cartel.
4. Conflict and the Legacy of Civil War
Civil wars in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua helped give birth to Central America’s ruthless gangs. The MS13, one of the region’s largest and most powerful street gangs, was founded in Los Angeles in the 1980s by Central American refugees fleeing armed conflict. When the US government deported these refugees in the late 1990s and early 2000s, those involved in criminal groups transformed the war-torn Northern Triangle region — made

and carousels with children working on different things,'' were Nash's idea, said Belle Rumbley, a retired teacher, who knew Nash for 26 years.
''Her contribution to children is inestimable,'' said Rumbley, a Seminole County teacher for 39 years.
Among Nash's most tangible accomplishments was a program that teaches children to read by typing. The program was immortalized in the 1974 book The Write to Read, which Nash co-authored with Charlotte Geyer, coordinator of the Seminole County school system's secondary language arts program.
With the help of colored letters and color-coated keys, the teaching method enables children to read as they learn to type. The program was adopted in 1982 by the state Department of Education and recently was revised for use with computer key boards.
Nash also helped found the Seminole ReadingCouncil, said Geyer, who knew Nash since 1960. Also, Nash served as a director of the Florida Reading Coucil and was an active member of the Alpha Delta Kappa honorary teachers sorority and the Sanford Woman's Club.

In July 2000, Michael Young again spoke with Jonusas about the return of the money. During this conversation, Jonusas revealed that he had invested the money and lost it all. At the time of trial, the $50,000 had not been returned to the Youngs.
Jonusas was charged by information with theft by deception pursuant to § 28-512. He pleaded not guilty, and a bench trial was held.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is formally requesting a classified briefing by U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin on the capabilities of its fifth-generation stealth multirole F-35A Joint Strike Fighter Lightning II, the aircraft’s conventional takeoff and landing version, according to Indian media reports.
The United States has not formally offered the aircraft to India and any classified briefing would require clearance by the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State. The Business Standard reports that the IAF would possibly be interested in procuring up to 126 F-35As from the United States as a deal for 126 French-made Dassault Rafale multirole fighter aircraft fell through.

Seventy-five years ago today, workers completed one of the greatest sculptural feats of the 20th century—four faces, etched in granite, forming the national icon known as Mount Rushmore. These 60-foot-tall presidential mugs, which took 14 years to make, are an incredible engineering achievement even today.
South Dakota historian Doane Robinson was the brains behind this enormous sculpture that now draws more than 2 million tourists to his home state. However, the original faces weren't going to be presidents at all, but rather Western heroes like Buffalo Bill Cody and Red Cloud. But sculptor Gutzon Borglum—who Robinson picked for the project—believed such an immense work should have a more national appeal. Borglum also thought the magma-formed batholith known as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota's Black Hills provided the perfect stonecanvas.

"Borglum liked what he saw on the mountain," says National Park ranger and Mount Rushmore expert Marvin Achtenberg, "a good piece of granite that would withstand the test of time."
In 1927, Borglum and his team began constructing the monument, starting with several years of dynamiting. They blew up more than 450,000 tons of rock before even beginning to carve. Only then did they start chiseling the features that would become the heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln using a combined method of facing bits and jackhammers. Several decades later, many of the mechanics that went into creating such a colossal piece are still being used today, most notably on the carving

It was the distinctive losers from those shifts – perhaps 5 million people, disproportionately young, male, healthy, and middle-to-high income – whose complaints about premium increases have fueled the seven-year GOP war on Obamacare.
Trump and his party have tried to redistribute those costs in reverse through repeal of Obamacare. Resistance from the larger group of winners under Obamacare – more than 20 million gained coverage – helped block that effort in Congress.
But just as Barack Obama used his executive authority to act when thwarted by political opponents, Trump did so Thursday. The orders he signed aim to allow groups of businesses to offer cheaper "association health plans" providing fewergoing on vacation for real.

The issue raised by this matter involves yet another dilemma regarding the respective responsibilities of county public defenders in representing indigent parolees who have been transferred between correctional facilities during the pendency of parole revocation proceedings and appeals. The petition now before us states that Petitioner, who was then represented by the Cumberland County Public Defender's Office (Cumberland Public Defender), was recommitted as a convicted and technical parole violator by Board order dated November 6, 1985.

to find and focus on what still "jazzes" someone about their work. For example, one leader at a large company thrived off innovation and creativity, but his team wasn't delivering in that area. So Weiss helped him create an environment that encouraged risk-taking — even if it resulted in failure. "What he did was at the end of the year when they had their annual awards ceremony to reward those who had high sales or the best service, he started giving out an award for 'the best idea that didn't work'," says Weiss, who wrote the book "Million Dollar Consulting. This small change helped to not only to inspire his team to be more creative but helped the executive reignite his passion for the job. Weiss also oftendo things as well or as fast as I can," is the other big issue he sees in leaders. The key to effective delegating is to help people understand that "there's no such thing as perfection. It doesn't exist, and perfection always kills excellence," Weiss says. With the 80-hour executive, Weiss says he helped him understand that when an employee is performing tasks that are "good enough," leave it at that and move on. With that understanding, Weiss helped the executive identify the high-level tasks he absolutely had to do due to his level of expertise, but he also helped him figure out who on his team could best handle the rest of the work. After learning to delegate, his client eventually reduced his hours to around 60

Marble Hill: Erasing the wreckage of a nuclear planning mistake
With Japanese authorities still working to salvage the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, it is worth exploring the institutional fallout of the developed world's last significant brush with nuclear catastrophe. This is the first of a series of articles I will publish on this website as part of Temples of the Atom, a project documenting the wreckage of unfinished American nuclear power stations.
The remains of a crisis
After the meltdown of a reactor in 1979 at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Pennsylvania, a snowballing financial crisis befell the U.S. nuclear industry. Facing lower than expected demand for electricity, power utilities had already begun cancelling planned reactors in the mid-1970s. After Three Mile Island, thatin South Carolina, and in Indiana, the cancelled Midwest plant referred to above. Last summer, I visited that latter plant site, at Marble Hill, just outside of Madison, Indiana, while a Michigan-based company was in the midst of demolishing it.
The construction of Marble Hill was estimated to have been 59% complete when it was abandoned in 1984. $2.8 billion dollars had been spent on building and outfitting its two reactors and the other parts of the complex required to support them and to spin electricity from the heat they would have generated. This great failure bankrupted one of the two utilities that had partnered on the station's construction, and the site languished for more than two decades before someone stepped in to demolish it and salvage what they

For a while, Facebook likes – coupled with a few other metrics, such as shares, comments, and clicks – served as a pretty decent proxy for engagement.
But they were far from perfect, Cathcart concedes. A funny photo meme might get thousands of quick likes, while a thoughtful news story analysing the conflict in Ukraine would be punished by Facebook's algorithms because it didn't lend itself to a simple thumbs-up.
The result was that people's news feeds became littered with the social media equivalent of junk food. Facebook had become optimised for stories that people Facebook-liked, rather than stories that people actually liked.
Worse, many of the same stories that thousands ofUniversity of Sunderland women’s volleyball 1sts have won the BUCS Women’s Volleyball Northern 3B title after a walkover victory against Leeds 2nds on Wednesday ensured they finished the season unbeaten.
Sunderland went into the last game of the season knowing that if they avoided defeat in their game they would be champions. However, Leeds were unable to field a team which gave Sunderland the win.
This was Sunderland’s only walkover of the season after they suffered one of their own in their only cup game of the season when they were unable to field at team against the University of Chester.

No. 1 best NFL Draft pick in Panthers history: Steve Smith
A third-round pick in 2001, Steve Smith is the best value pick in Panthers history.
David T. Foster III
dtfoster@charlotteobserver.com
Welcome to the bright side of the NFL Draft, as we re-visit the 10 best picks in Carolina Panthers history:
No. 1 best pick: WR Steve Smith (2001)
The Panthers’ first three draft picks in 2001 may represent the best three-round stretch in team history, starting with Dan Morgan and Kris Jenkins in the first two rounds, and finishing with the best draft pick the franchise ever made in the third — wide receiver Steve Smith.
As the No. 74 overall pick, Smith immediately made an impact as an All-Pro returner as a rookie and continued to treat Carolina fans to memorable plays duringhis 13 seasons with the team, including the first touch of his NFL career — a kickoff he returned for a touchdown — and ‘X-Clown,’ the walk-off touchdown reception and dash Smith made against the St. Louis Rams in 2003 that sent the Panthers to the NFC Championship game and eventually the Super Bowl.

Even though he retired after the 2016 season as a Baltimore Raven, Smith remains the Panthers’ all-time leading receiver with 12,197 yards. His 14,731 career receiving yards are currently the second-most in the NFL since 2001, his 1,031 catches rank fourth and his 81 touchdowns rank eighth.
He is also the fourth-leading postseason receiver in NFL history.
Outspoken and a legendary trash-talker, Steve Smith was also charitable off the

The terrible incident happened in Thepkrasattri, Thaland District, at Phuket Province. The 43-year-old victim is still at the hospital, painfully recovering from burns on one of her arms and shoulders, as well as on her back. The attack occurred at the nursery school where she works as a cleaner.
“Somkuan turned up on a motorbike. He shouted for her before he went inside the building. He poured fuel on her from a glass bottle and lit her on fire,” police authorities recounted, adding that “there were five teachers inside the room, but they were too frightened of Mr Somkuan to restrain him.”
All the children were already on their way home, thankfully. The couple apparently had a history of domestic abuse.

A group of passionate scientists have come together to demand that the International Union for Conservation of Nature list the cheetah as endangered.
Researchers with the National Geographic Society's Big Cats Initiative released a new study in the journal PeerJ on December 11 with updated numbers of the cheetah population in southern Africa—the biggest of its remaining habitat.
Pulling from millions of pieces of data from prior observations, the team says there are at least 3,577 adult cheetahs in the region, with a buffer area that could support a few thousand more. That number is the largest population of free-ranging cheetahs in the world, and less than half of the estimate published November 2016. As it stands, the species is officially listed as vulnerable.
Watch Big Cat Week on NatGeo WILDall week, starting Sunday, December 10 at 9/8c.
"Around the world, big cats are suffering big losses and having big trouble in more and more human-dominated landscapes," says study co-lead author Florian Weise of the Massachusetts-based conservation group Claws Conservancy.
Breaking It Down
The paper gives two estimates for cheetah populations. First, after analyzing more than two million pieces of scientific data and 20,000 crowdsourced observations from tourists between 2010 and 2016, Weise and the researchers counted 3,577 free-ranging adults spread across less than 305,000 square miles of Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. That's a few thousand cheetahs for an area about the size of France.
They also identified a similarly sized buffer area of remote land that could potentially hold another 3,250 cheetahs. Combined, the paper's estimate is—optimistically—about 6,800 African

The rest of the state is referred to as "outstate."
For many of the people I've talked with in outstate Wisconsin, their understanding of power, values, and resources goes like this (I'm paraphrasing here):
All of our taxpayer dollars get sucked in by Madison, diverted to Milwaukee, and we never see them again. The people in Madison are out of touch with the lives of people in rural and small town Wisconsin, and they are liberals and elitists who for

She wanted out, had asked for Scudder's help, but suddenly she wasn't dying anymore, she was just dead. The former cop turned P.I. promised to protect her, but he failed. Now his atonement is to find her killer.

Step by step, participants work toward their technical and academic credentials while receiving additional qualifications in the fields of high-voltage vehicles, exhaust emissions testing and gas systems. The multi-faceted program lets participants earn widely recognized qualifications, making it the perfect way to launch a career on a broad range of professional paths.
The coursework for the vocational training and the master craftsman‘s certificate takes place in two-week blocks. The vocationally integrated degree program consists of weekend seminars and lectures. Since the program dovetails with their professional employment, employers can count on the students’ availability during the five-year program. The employers cover the training and professional development costs and pay the students a fair salary.
As part of the Project Competence Degree (PKD), students must also successfully complete a projectoffice management, HR or marketing. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the program is a great way to plan for the future and train up successors over the long term. Large car dealers profit from the participants’ comprehensive, interdisciplinary training and the wide range of positions they can move into.

Successful Premiere for Master of Arts in Criminal Investigation
SHB bids farewell to the first graduating class
In October 2014, the first graduating class of the Master of Arts in Criminal Investigation program at Steinbeis University Berlin completed their oral exams. This marks the first group of criminal science in Germany to receive their education not from a public agency, but from a state-accredited university.
In the four-semester program students not only examined questions of jurisprudence, but also looked at criminal tactics, evidence

analysis and criminology strategies, learned interrogation and investigation techniques, and studied forensic psychology. “These are all necessary skill sets for a career in fighting all types of crime,” underscores Birgit Galley, director of the Steinbeis Transfer Institute School of Criminal Investigation & Forensic Science | Institut für Kriminalistik (School CIFoS).
Among the first graduates are corporate security specialists, defense lawyers, private investigators and police officers who plan to apply what they have learned in their future careers. Philipp Grabensee, one of the first graduating students, says of the program, “As a defense lawyer, the casual learning environment here has provided me with exactly the network I need and supplemented the knowledge of criminology that was missing in my original academic studies.“
The third class of criminal science students started theHR management, project management, legal issues relevant to the OR, labor law, hygiene, risk management, supply chain management, quality management and marketing is also expected. Upon successfully completing the examination, participants are awarded the title “OR Manager certified by Steinbeis University” or “OR Coordinator certified by Steinbeis University.” TQU Verlag publishes practice exams to help participants prepare for the written test.
The Institute of Business Excellence at Steinbeis University Berlin has worked with well-known companies and institutes for many years. It works with experts to develop practice-oriented curricula and draws up regulations for examinations and certifications, sets up a professional examination board, maintains the quality of continuing professional development activities, trains instructors, and plans and conducts certification exams. A popular service provider, it has issued more than 1000 certificates.

on this levy and they ultimately worked together to slim it down by dropping Music Hall. Their argument: It would cost too much and limit the county's financial flexibility for years. Democrat Todd Portune made an impassioned plea for both buildings, and the crowd at the meeting Wednesday was dominated by vocal levy supporters. But critics of the plan had the ear of commissioners, too. Monzel's alternative plan – the one he and Hartmann ultimately approved – resembled a plan favored by tea party groups and levy critics.
Government is different
Former Procter & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald led the task force and said the levy proposal was the most thoroughly vetted construction project he'd ever seen. And as head of P&G, he's seen more than a few. But asMcDonald noted on several occasions, government is different than the corporate world. As CEO, he could say the word and make things happen. As leader of the task force, he had to lobby politicians in a way he never did in business. It turned out to be an obstacle he couldn't quite clear.
City and county officials often disagree. In the past few months, they've gone toe-to-toe over how to run the Metropolitan Sewer District, how to bid construction projects and a host of other issues. This levy required cooperation and, instead, the old antagonism emerged. Hartmann met with Mayor John Cranley two weeks ago and the two appeared to reach a deal, in which the city promised $10 million toward long-term maintenance of Music Hall and Union Terminal.

A week later, Hartmann said that wasn't enough and demanded more. Cranley balked and said the county was "moving the goal post." It all went downhill from there.
No one likes to talk about it, but one of the divisions that emerged between levy supporters and opponents was based on class. Namely, that Music Hall is a luxury favored by the wealthy, while Union Terminal's Museum Center serves a broader and less affluent population. There's some truth to that: the Museum Center draws more than 1 million people a year to its Children's Museum and other exhibits and Music Hall attracts about one-fourth that number to the ballet, symphony and opera. As the popular Lumenocity showed last weekend, Music Hall is loved by more than just the rich. Still,Graphene-based LCDs Devised
Photonics.comMay 2008
MANCHESTER, England, May 2, 2008 -- Highly transparent and highly conductive ultrathin films have been produced by dissolving chunks of graphite then spraying the resulting graphene onto a glass surface.
Researchers at the University of Manchester in England used graphene, which is derived from the abundant natural resource graphite, as a transparent conductive coating for electro-optical devices instead of indium, a metal that is becoming increasingly expensive as supplies dwindle. They used the method to make LCDs that contain graphene electrodes, a technology they said could be mass-produced in computers, TVs, mobile phones and other electronic devices within a few years.
The same researchers reported last month that they carved graphene into tiny electronic circuits containing individual transistors about the size of a molecule as a way
