senior Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin. Eli Whitney Sr. was not only the inventor of the cotton gin, he’d also invented an early milling machine. He was a pioneer in adopting power tools for manufacturing, invented the modern assembly line and promoted the concept of interchangeable parts. His talented nephew, Eli Whitney Blake, helped him build the gun factory at Whitneyville and took over after he’d passed away. Samuel Colt asked Eli Whitney Blake to build him 1100 revolvers, 1000 for the Texas order and 100 to be used for private sale and promotional gifts. The ordered revolvers were shipped out in mid-1847. These original 1100 models are now extremely rare and worth at least $150,000 each, with one going on sale in 2008 for$920,000.
Due to the huge success of the Whitneyville built Walker Colts, the Colt reputation was made and it enabled him to later build his own Colt factory. Sadly, Captain Walker, after whom the weapon was named, was killed in action in October 1847 and legend has it that at the time of his death, he was carrying two Walker Colt models presented to him by Samuel Colt, which had only arrived a few days before. Nevertheless, the huge success of this weapon in the hands of the Texas Rangers was noticed by the United States government and Colt was given an order to deliver more weapons to the United States Mounted Militia (Dragoons), based on the Walker Colt model.

with heavy recoil. The size of the barrel was also reduced from 9 inches to about 7.5 inches to make the weapon slightly lighter and more manageable. Since this weapon was originally ordered for the United States Mounted Militia (known as “Dragoons”), this model was called the Colt Dragoon. This new weapon was a huge success among civilians as well and Colt produced three separate variations of these weapons between 1848 and 1860.
The above image is of a Colt Dragoon third variant model. The three variants can be told apart mainly by the shape of the trigger guard (squared edges in the first two variants and rounded edges in the third variant) and the shape of the cylinder notches (oval in the first variant, rectangular in the othertwo variants). The third model variant also has some instances with different sights and provisions to attach a shoulder stock.
Other variations included a smaller version called the 1849 Baby Dragoon and the 1851 Pocket Navy and Pocket Police versions. The Baby Dragoon was marketed to civilians and was extremely popular during the California Gold Rush.
Almost 20,000 of these weapons were produced for sale in the United States and an additional 750 were produced for the British market between 1848 and 1860 before the Colt Dragoon was replaced by the Colt Model 1860. Colt Dragoons are still being sought by collectors today and an original model still fetches high prices.
Due to the success of his weapons, Colt managed to build his own factory in 1851 in England, the first

American manufacturer to do so. In 1855, he opened a new factory in Hartford Connecticut, which incorporated the latest technologies at that time and was capable of building 5000 handguns in its first year of production. Knowledgeable in the advances in machining technology and interchangeable parts, about 80% of his parts were made by the most up-to-date precision machinery of the mid 19th century. By 1856, the factory was producing 150 weapons a day and the reputation of Colt for accuracy, reliability and workmanship quality had spread throughout the world.
It must be mentioned also that a large part of Colt’s success in machining technology was due to the efforts of an extraordinary individual. Around 1849, when Samuel Colt was building his new factory in Connecticut, he managed tolure away a mechanic by the name of Elisha K. Root from the Collins company, which made axe-heads. Elisha Root already had a name as a mechanic and inventor and was making machines to manufacture axe-heads more efficiently, when Samuel Colt lured him away, by taking the simple route of paying him twice what Collins was paying him at that time, and making his supervisor of Colt’s new factory. Mr. Root set about changing the way that Colt manufactured firearms by building about 400 machines (state-of-the art drop hammers, boring machines, jigs and fixtures etc.) to make interchangeable parts, that made the Colt factory the leading model of efficiency in the world. It was when working at Colt that he invented a new Universal Milling Machine. This milling

machine was manufactured for Colt by a subcontractor called the Lincoln Iron Works and later became called the “Lincoln Miller”. About 150,000 of these machines were sold by the 1890s and it became the most common machine tool in America and made the United States the world leader in the design and production of machine tools. Elisha Root also attracted many other star employees to work for Colt. When Samuel Colt died in 1862, Elisha Root took over as the president of the Colt company.
Due to the amount of research into machining technology, the area around the Colt factory became a hot-bed for mechanical innovation (sort of a Silicon Valley of its time). For example, one employee at Colt’s plant was William Mason, who secured 125 patents formachinery that made guns, power looms and steam pumps. Yet another inventor in Colt’s factory was Christopher M. Spencer, who invented the world’s first automatic turret lathe. Another Colt employee was Charles E. Billings, who invented the drop hammer used for metal forgings. Charles Billings also invented the copper commutator, a key piece of technology for electric motors and generators. Two other employees were Francis A. Pratt and Amos Whitney, who improved the Lincoln miller, invented a thread boring machine and later went on to found Pratt & Whitney. Simon Fairman invented the chuck that holds the workpiece on a lathe and his son-in-law, Austin F. Cushman invented the first self-centering chuck called the Cushman Universal Chuck.

Almost too weird to believe: writer Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK in the late 1940s, and learned the powerful organization's secrets — but nobody would publish them. Meanwhile, the Superman radio program needed a villain to replace the Nazis.
According to Mental Floss Magazine, Kennedy managed to work all of the Ku Klux Klan's most secret recruiting and organizational practices into his 1940s radio serial, "Clan Of The Fiery Cross." And as a result, the Man Of Steel dealt a crushing blow to the racist organization:
As the storyline progressed, the shows exposed many of the KKK's most guarded secrets. By revealing everything from code words to rituals, the program completely stripped the Klan of its mystique. Within two weeks of the broadcast, KKK recruitment was down to zero. AndCLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT

is a fact that seems as astonishing each time you think about it. He's been a colossal father figure. All the India players have grown up looking up to the man.
The opponents were hastily arranged for this farewell series and were not expected to play a big role. That is exactly what West Indies did in Kolkata, folding up in three days. The last time they played at Wankhede, they produced an exciting draw with the scores tied. This match will be known in history as Tendulkar's final game, but West Indies will look to somehow miraculously ending up winning it.

The opposition has a man who has been almost as durable as Tendulkar. Shivnarine Chanderpaul debuted in March 1994, and will be playing his 150th Test. It is a monumental disservice to him that commentators still talk about his stance after nearly 11000 Test runs. And unlike Tendulkar, he's showed no signs that the end is approaching. He averaged close to 100 last year with three centuries. Sadly, his misfiring team is more likely to squander his legacy than build on it.

Bosisto embraced his partner and Marsh kissed the Western Australia logo on his helmet as he saluted his teammates.
The pair kept keeping Queensland’s attack at bay, moving to 5/265 as Bosisto scored a half century of his own in the second session.
That's a superb effort from Mitch Marsh to get a 100 in Queensland. An immediate response. He's under enormous pressure when runs SHOULD be the only thing that matters at the moment. That's an innings of character. #SheffieldShield — Adam White (@White_Adam) November 5, 2018
Marsh and brother Shaun have faced a barrage of criticism after the tour of the UAE, which saw Australia’s batsmen — barmaiden Test ton (181), then followed it up with a sparkling 101 at the SCG two matches later.
He carried his good form with the bat to South Africa, top scoring for the Aussies with 96 in the first innings of the first Test in Durban. He chipped in with 45 in the second Test but since then has failed to reach 20 in his past eight innings.
Once considered a short form lock, the severity of Mitch’s vulnerable position was made abundantly clear when he was left out of Australia’s ODI squad to face South Africa. Selectors instead decided to go with Marcus Stoinis for the seam-bowling all-rounder position.

number to Officer Butelli. The officer then contacted appellant and arranged for a third purchase of cocaine on May 17, 1989. Appellant had a friend drive him to the parking lot at the Parkway Center Mall, also located in the Borough of Greentree, where he met Officer Butelli. Appellant entered the officer's vehicle and sold the officer a bag containing one-quarter (¼) of an ounce, or 7.1 grams, of cocaine.[7] Appellant also indicated to the officer that he could sell the officer one (1) ounce of cocaine because he (appellant) had that amount in his possession. The informant did not participate in and was not present at any time during the third purchase of cocaine. After exiting the officer's vehicle, appellant was arrested by a team of other*247 police officers, including members of the Greentree police force. Appellant was searched upon his arrest and was found to possess an additional 3.5 grams of cocaine.
Following appellant's arrest, Officer Butelli obtained a search warrant for appellant's home, which was located in Robinson Township, another South Hills area municipality. Although Robinson Township is not a participant in SHDETF, the officers who were to conduct the search contacted the Robinson Township police and obtained their consent to execute the search warrant. The Robinson Township police accompanied the other police officers and participated in the search of appellant's home. A small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and additional cocaine totaling 74.74 grams was discovered during the search of appellant's residence.

Frat member told 911: 'We have a friend who's unconscious'
Pennsylvania State University fraternity brother Kordel Davis is speaking out after 18 of his fellow brothers were charged in connection with the death three months ago of Beta Theta Pi pledge Timothy Piazza during a pledge ceremony.
Doctors have estimated his blood-alcohol level at one point reached nearly.40 percent, a unsafe level.
Davis said that he voiced concerns to his frat brothers but failed to call 911 because senior members of the group convinced him that he was overreacting.
Eight more defendants in the Beta Theta Pi hazing death case at Penn State have been scheduled to appear in Centre County court for arraignment Tuesday afternoon. They then ranto and from drinking stations where they drank wine from a bag or shotgunned beer. All of the pledges were under the legal drinking age. Piazza died two days later.
"The early findings of that investigation indicated that the behavior of several undergraduate members was in direct contradiction of the International Fraternity's expectations and risk management policies, as well as the International Fraternity's reputation and commitment to character development".
"The gantlet" was created to make pledges consume roughly four to five alcoholic drinks in a two-minute span, police say.
Eighteen members of a now-shuttered Penn State University fraternity and the fraternity itself are facing charges in the death of a student who fell down a flight of steps during an alcohol-fueled pledge night.

Piazza had endured "inhumane treatment" at the fraternity's hands.
Barron says it's "numbing" to see that a unsafe atmosphere could occur at a fraternity that prided itself on commitment to each other and the community. Hours later, he again fell, hitting his head off a stone floor. That fall occurred just before 5 a.m.

Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays star forward Rachel Llanes recently played her 150th game of professional hockey. She hit that milestone at the conclusion of her most impressive professional season to date. Llanes piled up 42 points in 26 games in the ZhHL — good for second in the league in scoring — and she is within striking distance of becoming the first player in the history of women’s hockey to win championships in the CWHL, the NWHL, and the ZhHL.
Since her standout collegiate career at Northeastern University, Llanes has blazed her own trail through the wilderness that is professional women’s hockey from one side of the globe to the other. Along the way she won a Clarkson Cup in 2015, an Isobel Cup in 2016, and has carvedout a role for herself as one of the most important figures in Chinese women’s hockey.

Llanes began her pro career in the CWHL with the Blades in 2013-14 following a 38-point senior season with the Huskies. But the San Jose native was known more for her dogged work ethic and versatility than for her scoring touch with the Blades. The same was true for her two seasons with the Pride (2015-16, 2016-17), where she played a supporting role behind an offense featuring stars and staples

of the United States women’s national team.
As a role player on two stacked Pride squads, Llanes saw little of the spotlight and a modest amount of ice time. In 33 games in the NWHL, she never picked up a point on the power play. That goose egg was a direct result of the lack of opportunity that came with playing on a team led by the likes of Brianna Decker, Hilary Knight, Meghan Duggan, and Alex Carpenter. However, she picked up 10 primary points at even strength and won 50.13 percent of her draws. Her value was further evidenced by a 0.49 average game score (GS/GP) in her NWHL career.
There were clear signs that the natural center was capable of much more.
In 2017, Llanes was presented with aunique opportunity to return to the CWHL both as a player and as the strength and conditioning coach for Kunlun Red Star and Team China. In women’s hockey, if you aren’t receiving a stipend from a national team, it is next to impossible to make a living playing the sport that you love. But in China, Llanes has been able to do just that.
In her first season playing for a Chinese team in 2017-18, Llanes was tasked with doing the heavy lifting as a depth center while getting her teammates to give up fried food and start drinking water instead of soft drinks. Her second stint in the CWHL greatly resembled her first — but she was playing behind Kelli Stack and Zoe Hickel instead of Decker and

Knight. She finished that first season with five goals and nine total primary points and fell just short of winning her second Clarkson Cup.
The following year, the two Chinese teams in the CWHL became one and Llanes joined the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays. Benefiting from ice time with Leah Lum and Carpenter, the 5-foot-3 center’s production picked up in a significant way. Llanes finished the 2018-19 campaign with 15 points (11 primary) in 19 games — good for fifth on the team in scoring. But when the CWHL folded, Llanes’ time playing professional hockey in North America came to an abrupt end.
On July 25, 2019 Shenzhen’s team joined the ZhHL and Llanes and Carpenter signed on for their first season of professional hockey in Russia. It became clearassists in the ZhHL in a single year since the league re-formed in the 2015-16 season.
At Northeastern, Llanes played in the shadow of Kendall Coyne-Schofield and Casey Pickett. In the CWHL and NWHL, she was afterthought on veritable dream teams spearheaded by Decker and Knight. In the ZhHL, she has proven herself to be a star in addition to serving as a key architect for the growth of the game in the most populous country in the world.
Llanes and her teammates begin their path to making history as they try to become the first non-Russian team to win a ZhHL title. Their first game of the semifinal round is against Tornado on February 28.

west coast railway line, lying to the east of the site, and causing the bed of a stream to collapse.
Nilsson says he made a visit to the site on the night of the landslide to see what damage had been done. But unable to see anything in the dark, he had to wait until the next day to see if the ground was still in place.
'If land where we had installed columns had moved, it would have caused problems because we would have been forced to make design changes, ' says Nilsson. 'Fortunately, it hadn't shifted.' Friction usually keeps quick clay hanging on to the smooth face of granite rock. But it is stable only until it is disturbed, most often by rainfall and water irrigating the softground.
Nilsson says typical landslides around this region occur because if groundwater increases, the smooth surface of the granite rock is lubricated.
This reduces friction between the rock and soil, which causes the soft clay to slide down the granite face. Although an investigation is under way to find the cause of December's event, Nilsson thinks this was the most likely reason, particularly as it followed a rainy period.
He says it was a stressful time trying to find out if the work completed by LCM had gone with the landslide. LCM had made amendments to the original design by consultant Ramb÷ll by installing 700mm diameter columns instead of 600mm at the south end of the site. This reduced the number of columns needed and was seen as safe because slopes

Peter Nathan
Sixty years after their discovery, the Dead Sea Scrolls still spark controversy and debate. What, if anything, have they established so far, and how will they be remembered?
Proclaimed as the greatest discovery of the century, the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) quickly became the preserve of a limited academic circle. That meant that any hope they would increase our collective understanding of the Bible became rather remote. In July 2008, leading DSS scholars gathered at an international conference to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the scrolls’ discovery. The event, titled The Dead Sea Scrolls and Contemporary Culture, took place at the Israel Museum’s Shrine of the Book, designed and built specifically to house seven of the celebrated scrolls, and now home to all of

Qumran settlement. The Qumran-Essene hypothesis established by these two titans of archaeology became, in the words of Edna Ullmann-Margalit of Hebrew University, the “mainstream theory” that would be popularized in books on the subject and accepted in reference works.
While a coterie of specialists began work on translating the scrolls in the 1950s, the rest of the academic world waited for almost 40 years to view them. During these decades, scholars speculated and rumors of conspiracy proliferated. Was important evidence being withheld? Eventually impatience led to a short-circuiting of established procedures by a pair of researchers who took matters into their own hands. With the aid of sophisticated computer software and a concordance of all the words found in the already-published scrolls (as compiled by the DSS scholars), theyinclude one at Masada and another in Cairo, which was discovered at the end of the 19th century and contains materials dating to the 10th.
Pfann concluded that the specific use of a given cave could be established from the types of scrolls it contained and the way in which those scrolls were placed in the cave. Having determined each cave’s use, he then analyzed the texts it contained. He posited that Cave 4, in which were found largely fragmentary remains of scrolls that appear to have been neither wrapped in linen nor placed in pottery jars, served as a genizah. On the other hand, Cave 1—with its treasure trove of almost complete scrolls that were wrapped and placed in jars (such as the famous Isaiah scroll)—could have served

scholars and theologians heralded the scrolls as keys to increased understanding of the Bible. And despite areas of intense controversy, it must be conceded that some aspects of biblical history have been illuminated. Whereas previous commentators and historians, including Jewish scholars, portrayed Judaism in the first century as monolithic, the Dead Sea Scrolls demanded that its true diversity be appreciated. This had a profound effect on the study of the New Testament and brought Jewish scholars into a field in which previously they’d had no major interest.
Although no scroll appears to directly address individuals named or referred to in the New Testament, they do represent an additional source by which to study the milieu of the characters and events written about. Now both the people and the eventsof early Church history can be viewed in a different light. Two notable results are the so-called new perspective on Paul and the recasting of John’s Gospel as a profoundly Jewish text, whereas previously it had been considered Hellenistic or Greek in its influences. (See “Before Christianity: A First-Century Perspective,” a collection of articles and video presentations about the apostles and the early Church.)
After an initial burst of energy in this area, however, progress on the application and relevance of the scrolls to the study of the New Testament subsided to the point that a moderator at the November 2007 Society of Biblical Literature meeting in San Diego lamented the loss of interaction and called for a renewal of interest and study. Perhaps her plea was answered by

In North Carolina, a place laden with its own history of white supremacist violence, protesters pulled down a statue of a Confederate soldier outside of the Durham County Courthouse. Arrests and raids on activists’ homes followed — so have further protests in solidarity with those who took down the statue. On Thursday morning, hundreds attempted to march on the jail and turn themselves in to protest the arrests and call for charges to be dropped.
There is a long history of white supremacist violence, since that is what they have always done.

Hi-Tech Plumbing & Leak Detect, Inc. Encouraging Public to Take Part in World Plumbing Day
March 11, 2015 – Edmond, Oklahoma – Since 2010, the World Plumbing Council (WPC) has designated March 11 as World Plumbing Day. The aim of the Day is to raise awareness about the critical role which today’s plumbing industry plays in relation to public health and the health of our planet and the environment.
Many people in developed countries take the work of the plumber for granted. Plumbing is often seen as a nuisance purchase when things go wrong. Public perception of the plumber can be less than positive and many people see the plumber as the person who
unblocks drains, fixes leaks and mends heating systems.

In present times, sweet fennel oil is used mostly for medicinal purposes, such as killing parasitic worms and their spores in the intestines and excretory tracts and as a laxative with no side effects. It is also used for cosmetic purposes, especially as an ingredient in massage oils, perfumes, toothpastes and soaps.
Composition of Sweet Fennel Oil
The chemicals found in sweet fennel oil include anethole, fenchone, estragole, a-pinene and ß-pinene, a-phellandrene and ß-phellandrene, a-Terpineol, myrcene, campfer and para-Cymol.

in early April. He officially replaced the late Antonin Scalia the help of three Senate Democrats after McConnell deployed the "nuclear option" for Supreme Court nominees to bypass a successful filibuster.
Though they can no longer use the filibuster, Democrats still can send to the Judiciary Committee a "blue slip" in which senators from the state from which a nominee hails block their progress by objecting to their receiving hearings and markups. While it's not actually a rule, the practice is generally respected.
Already at least one Senate Democrat is looking to test these waters. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said he has "serious concerns" about the expected nomination of David Porter, who is affiliated with the Federalist Society, to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a source citedby the Huffington Post.
Two judicial nominees who have already been announced, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen and Minnesota Supreme Court Justice David Stras, are in jeopardy of being challenged by Democrats in their respective states, the Daily Caller notes.
The threat of obstruction also extends to non-judicial branch nominees. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., vowed to block Sigal Mandelker's nomination to be undersecretary of the treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence until the Treasury Department release documents related to Russia and financial ties to Trump and associates. Last week Warner, D-Va., announced that the intelligence panel, with the support of Republican Chairman Richard Burr, has asked the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for records relating to Trump and his associates. Burr would not confirm if this was true.

Despite beer and lobby ties, Speaker Dennis Bonnen sees no need for recusals or new disclosures
Bonnen, who married into a beer distributing family, says he doesn't need to recuse himself on alcohol issues and won't name the lobbyists who own a piece of his bank — a list that is much longer than previously reported.
The 86th Legislature runs from Jan. 8 to May 27. From the state budget to health care to education policy — and the politics behind it all — we focus on what Texans need to know about the biennial legislative session.
When Republican state Rep. Dennis Bonnen was looking to raise money for his bank a decade ago, he turned to familiar faces for some of the investment capital: lobbyists who get paid to influencepeople like him.
More recently, when a restaurant in Tyler was concerned about the slow processing of its liquor permit, members of Bonnen’s beer-distributing family sought assistance on its behalf — and soon the Angleton lawmaker’s office asked state regulators what was taking so long.
Now that the bank CEO has risen to one of the highest offices in state government — speaker of the Texas House — his financial ties to lobbyists and the permit "status check"he provided at the request of his wife’s family highlight two potentially fraught areas for the new GOP leader, particularly during a legislative session in which alcohol laws could undergo major revision.
Bonnen told The Texas Tribune he sees no conflicts of interest, no reason to take any formal steps to distance himself from

Mike Singletary was the field general for one of history's greatest defenses, earning two Defensive Player of the Year awards and seven All-Pro selections as middle linebacker for the 1980s Bears.
The Hall of Famer's coaching career, however, was not nearly as glorious. His tenure as 49ers head coach was marred by quarterback juggling, indecision about the offensive system and occasional bursts of sideline and postgame rage. The 49ers fired Singletary late in the 2010 season after he amassed an 18-22 record in two-and-a-half seasons. After three uneventful years on the Vikings defensive staff, Singletary quietly vanished from the NFL.
Singletary, now 57, has spent the last two seasons on a kind of "walkabout," traveling around the country to meet fellow former coaches and other experts to hone

The present invention responds to the drawbacks and limitations of the prior art by providing a fabric cleaning apparatus which generates foam in one end of the apparatus and directs it toward the fabric to be cleaned. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the foam is generated by admixing pressurized air and a cleaning solution in the apparatus adjacent to the point of application. The pressurized air also directs the foam towards the fabric. A vacuum is simultaneously provided at the other end of the apparatus, such that it cooperates with the inertia of the foam to move the foam rapidly and continuously between the ends of the apparatus and effectively to produce a continuous belt of foam between the two ends.

The new species resembles Annulotrema pikei (Price, Peebles & Bamford, 1969) in having morphologically similar types of haptoral sclerites and MCO. As a result of the differential diagnosis made for A. besalis n. sp., new information on taxonomically important features of A. pikei is provided based on illustrations

Directly from his speech:
In 1994 he was doing IT for the financial firm Charles Schwab, nothing big.
1995 he started regularly sending out an email to about 12 of his friends with a bunch of events around the San Francisco Bay Area.
His friends would forward the email to their friends, and then their friends etc…

the email list, and people would also send him notifications of events they heard about.
It started building some momentum, but he never thought of it as a big deal. Lots of people on the list said, “You should make this into a website.”
Since he was a programmer, he made an easy tool that would convert the emails into webpage format and post them on a website.
He was going to call the website “San Francisco Events” or something along those lines, but many people suggested he keep his name in the title to make it personable. So “Craigslist” was born.
The site was hosted on some cheap server, and when it hit 240 users, it broke….so using his own personal funds he got some better web hosting (still very cheap).
Aroundrunning the site on a volunteer basis. He let several volunteers take over the site, and the plan failed miserably.
In 1999 he made Craigslist into a real company by incorporating it.
The site is 99.99% free, but in a select few cities people posting job ads must pay $25 per listing. This makes Craigslist plenty of money to keep the rest of the site free, and also eliminates lots of spam and scams in the job listings sections. They are starting to do this in more cities because it increases quality of the postings and brings in needed revenue to keep up with Craigslists massive infrastructure demands. They are also starting to charge on some of the housing sections of certain cities.

It’s a trap!
Dunwoody, GA — Police in the US possess a unique ability to raise money for their departments. Whenever times are rough, cops can simply take to the streets, enforce arbitrary traffic violations, and, voila — revenue generated — job security reinvigorated.
While many departments will go out and attempt to catch cars driving faster than the posted speed limit to collect revenue, departments nationwide are figuring out a far easier way to trap citizens in their web of extortion — crosswalks.
As the Free Thought Project reported last year, some departments will go to extraordinary lengths to separate the citizen from their money, as was the case in Fort Lee, NJ.
In Fort Lee, a cop dressed up as Donald Duck and darted out into the intersectionnarrator for this work, discussing the power of 'the foreign' and images, talking directly into a microphone in a purposely stilted manner and addressing questions to the viewer.

finishing an incredible 32 percent of the Jazz's plays in the postseason, Wade handed out 6.9 assists per 100 team plays -- more than double Mitchell's playoff mark. As such, they were similarly valuable in the playoffs.
With Embiid sidelined the first two games, Simmons was Philadelphia's best player in a comfortable 4-1 series win over the Heat. Even after a seven-turnover performance in the 76ers' Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics, Simmons is posting the most WARP per game by a rookie in an extended playoff run since Tim Duncan in 1998.
In three of the past four seasons, Mitchell would have been an easy choice for Rookie of the Year, and in 2015-16, his strong RPM would have given him a reasonable case over Towns' superior boxscore stats. It's to Mitchell's slight misfortune that he happens to be putting together a strong rookie campaign at the same time Simmons has posted one of the best in recent memory.
Fortunately, while only one can win Rookie of the Year, there's plenty of room for both Mitchell and Simmons to emerge as stars in this postseason and beyond.

IHR 2005 requires states meet a burden of proof to justify economic restrictions.
The Second Emergency: 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic {#Sec4}
==================================================
The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic was the first global pandemic since 1968.[@CR15] Fortunately the virus proved less virulent than originally thought[@CR16] and provided an important illustration of IHR 2005 in practice.
The 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak emerged in Mexico, then spread further into North America and to most countries worldwide. Mexico responded aggressively, instituting broad community mitigation strategies: closure of public places and businesses, and education about sanitation measures, quarantine, and isolation.[@CR17] During the spring of 2009, significant social and economic disruption caused trade losses estimated at more than \$2.3 billion.[@CR17] International health experts found that Mexico acted quickly, proactively, and with transparency.[@CR18] Yet legal and academic public health commentatorsclear-cut method.
Over time, clear-cut logging has been used for a variety of reasons. They include, but are not limited to, generating revenue, the maximum production of wood fiber for its many uses, and clearing land for houses and businesses. Clear-cut logging possesses some positive outcomes and some negative outcomes. The positives of clear-cut logging include: The increased amount of jobs available, which in turn betters America’s economy by generating revenue, the chance for prevention of catastrophic fires, and the bettering of forest health. Another benefit is the production of wood products, and the access provided to the public from the logging roads.
On the other hand, the negatives of clear-cut logging include the increased amount of sedimentation in streams and rivers, the increase in water temperatures, the degradation of

hina recently came up with the futuristic straddle bus which gained the attention of shutterbugs around the globe. Another development from the Asian country is the launch of a new satellite which could achieve Quantum Communications between the earth and space.
The world’s first Quantum Communications Satellite is named Mozi after a Chinese scientist from the past. The Quantum Space Satellite launch took place at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center by using Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle at 17:40 UTC, Monday. It includes a laser emitter to transmit data to ground stations, a device to communicate quantum and some other stuff related to Quantum Entanglement.

In total disregard for the billions of Euros given to Turkey for housing Syrian and other refugees, President Erdogan has opened his borders. Syrians and others, displaced from the current strife in their countries of origin, or economic migrants seeking better future work or benefits, have spilled over in the thousands per day. There were 3.6 million refugees in Turkey at the start of this release. Greece and the rest of the European Union (EU) is starting to realize, after 5 years, that an influx that large may not be easily absorbed.

His official rationale was that since 33 soldiers died in an attack from Syria, the situation could no longer be maintained.

neuroendocrine prostate cancer cases. The investigators have supporting data that AGEs can upregulate miR-204 and drive NED in vitro; and in prostate cancer patients, both AGEs15 and miR-204 are elevated in AA men, when compared to EA men. Preliminary data supports metformin as an endogenous inhibitor of miR-204 which in turn reverses the neuroendocrine phenotype. This study will be co-led by Dr. Ashley Evans-Knowell at South Carolina State University (SCSU) and Dr. Victoria Findlay at the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center (MUSC-HCC). Hypothesis: The occurrence of high AGEs and ADT drives neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) through up- regulation of miR-204 and this event is more prevalent in AAs, accounting for the higher prostate cancer mortality rates observed in AA men.

Beachside(Times of Israel) Norway’s foreign minister on Friday condemned the Palestinian Authority for naming a women’s center in the West Bank, funded in part by the Scandinavian country, after a female terrorist.
“The glorification of terrorist attacks is completely unacceptable, and I deplore this decision in the strongest possible terms. Norway will not allow itself to be associated with institutions that take the names of terrorists in this way. We will not accept the use of Norwegian aid funding for such purposes,” Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende said in a statement.

Joseph-Octave Plessis was born a little more than three weeks after the Treaty of Paris confirmed the British conquest of New France. His paternal ancestors had moved to the colony from Metz, France, at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1713 Jean-Louis Plessy*, dit Bélair, married Marie-Anne Petit Boismorel, and nearly 40 years later, in 1752, their 17th child, Joseph-Amable, married Marie-Louise Mennard. Joseph-Amable was a blacksmith, with a forge near Montreal, and his prosperity was ensured after the conquest by the increased demand for iron products resulting from another British invasion, that of merchants in the fur trade.
The seventh of eighteen children raised in a home both happy and religious, Joseph-Octave acquired confidence in his manifest abilities. At the Sulpician primary school he had little difficultywith the curriculum of reading, writing, arithmetic, and the catechism. After just one year he was sent to a small Latin school operated by Jean-Baptiste Curatteau*, parish priest at Longue-Pointe (Montreal). In the spring of 1773 he was confirmed by Bishop Jean-Olivier Briand*. That year Curatteau’s school was moved into the city and became the Collège Saint-Raphaël. Plessis easily mastered his subjects, winning several prizes, and in 1777 or 1778 he completed his sixth year (Rhetoric) at the college.
In the autumn of 1778, with the aid of a bursary, Plessis entered the Petit Séminaire de Québec. By its rigorism and emphasis on the practice of the priesthood, the program of studies instilled in Plessis a moral austerity and a preference for practical concerns over intellectual discussion. As always,

enforcement and stimulated by the presence of soldiers and of sailors and raftsmen released from the isolation of months at sea or in the bush. From his pulpit Plessis denounced the moral state of the town. “His action was animated and his sermon impressive,” noted Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe [Gwillim*] on one occasion. Although passionate enough, his discourses were nevertheless directed to the head rather than the heart. To foster the spirituality of his congregation, Plessis reinvigorated the Confrérie de la Sainte-Famille and introduced the 40-hours devotion at Pentecost. He ministered to the Irish, hitherto neglected, but laboriously for he never quite mastered English pronunciation. His pastoral work, however, was concentrated on the religious education of the young, particularly in Saint-Roch, and he established new catechism classes and anelementary school. The most intelligent boys were directed to the Petit Séminaire de Québec, in hopes that some would become priests. Plessis also mobilized community support for victims of social disasters. He was unremittingly occupied; his day began around 4:00 a.m. and ended about midnight.
As secretary Plessis acquired a reputation as the power behind Hubert. Some priests began addressing themselves to him for solutions to their problems; others resented his influence. Hubert being ill at ease in society, Plessis played a prominent role as intermediary between him and the politicians. Plessis thus established working relations with such influential men as Chief Justice William Osgoode, Anglican bishop Jacob Mountain, Solicitor General Jonathan Sewell*, Civil Secretary Herman Witsius Ryland*, and the merchant-politicians Thomas Dunn* and William Grant*. These relations were

Chambly and Charles-Joseph Ducharme* at Sainte-Thérèse-de-Blainville (Sainte-Thérèse). He attempted to recruit from the working class at Quebec by founding a college in the faubourg Saint-Roch in 1818. However, staffing the new colleges with young ecclesiastics drew criticism from parish priests deprived of assistants and from Roux, who argued that it dispersed meagre teaching personnel and hindered the raising of standards in theological education. Plessis also encouraged institutions founded to finance theological studies and personally sponsored needy students. However, the results of all these labours only became evident in the 1830s when recruitment began to match population growth.
Plessis exercised considerable influence on the formation of his recruits through surveillance of their studies and through ecclesiastical lectures at Quebec and Nicolet. He instilled in most strong faith, rigorous morality, discipline,the case required; only as a last resort did he order. The placing of clergy was for Plessis the most important element in the administration of his diocese, and he gave close consideration to matching priests with parishes and clerical neighbours. His determination to keep a free hand as well as a constant preoccupation with maintaining episcopal authority rendered him nearly impervious to demands by parishes and priests for changes in his plans. The colonial government rarely intervened in nominations to parishes despite endless projects and threats to take them over.
It was most often in matters of discipline that Plessis was prepared to use authority, for he believed that the clergy’s influence depended on its assiduity and moral credibility. He insisted that priests not visit outside their parishes

practically nothing to do.”
Plessis’s disinclination to delegate authority (at least prior to the division of his diocese in 1820) was criticized by a few priests, such as Painchaud. In part, it sprang from a desire to facilitate standardization of practices over his vast jurisdiction. He counted on his young priests to promote this uniformity; in 1813 he announced a common fee schedule for services throughout the diocese, but to avoid clashing with entrenched clerical interests where opposition to it arose, he generally introduced it on the accession of a young priest to the cure.
Despite his efforts to establish bonds with his clergy, Plessis’s position as bishop inevitably separated him to some extent from them. The geographical perspective of most Canadians in the early 19th century was restricted tothe St Lawrence valley and their social concerns centred on preserving their culture. The lower clergy shared this outlook. As bishop of a diocese that extended from the Atlantic to beyond the Red River, and with responsibility for Catholics of all nationalities, Plessis had broader perspectives. He was criticized in Lower Canada for his pastoral visits outside the colony and for expenses incurred in educating missionaries to work there. Seminarians resented his insistence on their learning English. While he sought an entente cordiale with the British, some Lower Canadian clergy cautiously approved the nationalist Canadian party. However, by his prestige, experience, and character, Plessis forged in the clergy of Lower Canada an esprit de corps and sense of purpose it had previously lacked.
Since the early 1700s the clergy

“as everywhere else, the people of the middle class are the most submissive and the most attached to religion and to their ecclesiastical superiors.” Lartigue’s middle class was probably composed of artisans and shopkeepers.
That Plessis was personally respected by the rural inhabitants seems beyond question, and the working class of Saint-Roch venerated him. His direct contact with the habitants was generally limited to his pastoral visits; he was, consequently, assiduous in performing them. They were veritable missions, with Plessis stopping in each parish for several days to preach, examine parish accounts, observe the conduct of priest and parishioners, and note the existence of religious fraternities and the presence of Protestants. His sermons were often successfully improvised on the spot to address the specific problems of the locality.
The attitudeof the habitants and the workers towards the church and the clergy generally, while largely respectful, was not one of docile submission. In April 1808, for example, an act had to be passed (subsequently renewed annually) “to provide for the maintenance of good order on Sundays and Holidays.” In December 1810, noting that the feast days of parish patrons had become “days of blasphemies and battles,” Plessis ordered that a single Sunday would thenceforth be set aside as the feast day of all parishes. Such problems may have been created by roisterous minorities and rowdies. But parishioners did often divide into opposing camps over the manner of distributing pews, the projected location of a church building, the creation of new parishes, and even certain temporal powers of the

Interests and wishes even tho’ this should be unfavourable to the Protestants.” Bathurst’s dispatch marked the triumph of a decade of diplomacy by Plessis. In 1817 he was named to the Legislative Council; the mandamus of appointment constituted legal recognition of himself as bishop of Quebec. Admitted to the council in February 1818, he found himself at the head of a phantom contingent of Catholics, since his coreligionists rarely attended. He himself was present at about 60 per cent of council meetings, where he was generally discreet but became active when discussions embraced religious, educational, or social matters.
Meanwhile, Plessis had become increasingly preoccupied with another major problem: the ungovernable size of his diocese. His concern for Catholics outside Lower Canada cannot be questioned. He sent them missionaries wheneverpossible, and, lacking priests of his own, opened the doors of the Séminaire de Québec to their sons who aspired to the priesthood, often helping to finance their studies [see Ronald Macdonald*]. He was generous and intelligent in his counsel to missionaries and was no less sparing of his energies and time; in 1811, 1812, and 1815 he had visited the Catholics of the Maritimes, assessing the religious situation there, preaching, and organizing religious life. In a journal he took notes on the region’s geography, history, demography, and economic activities. He remarked, with a perspicacious, often critical, if not entirely unbiased eye (he was clearly a metropolitan visitor to the hinterland), the social and moral life of the Acadian, Scottish, and Indian Catholics. At Paspébiac, headquarters of the

accommodation repulsive. At Sydney Mines, on Cape Breton Island, he reluctantly celebrated mass in a stable loft in intense heat that raised a nauseating odour from the horse stalls below. His reactions to these inconveniences were humorous or compassionate but never disdainful. A pastoral visit to Upper Canada in 1816 was altogether less trying; his most disagreeable experience was getting caught in a horde of American tourists at Niagara Falls.
Such visits, however, could not compensate for the absence of regular and immediate episcopal direction. Although Plessis accorded great latitude to his vicars general, Alexander McDonell in Upper Canada, Edmund Burke* in Nova Scotia, and Angus Bernard MacEachern on Prince Edward Island, geographical distance and the growth of the Catholic population, largely the result of Irish and Scottish immigration,required subdivision of the diocese to provide organized, constant, and effective ecclesiastical administration. In addition, although by 1818 he had barely initiated missionary activity in the northwest [see Joseph-Norbert Provencher*], he believed that the region’s isolation would call for a bishop there immediately.
After he had become bishop in 1806, Plessis had made several unsuccessful attempts to obtain subdivision of his diocese. Then in 1817 London and Rome agreed to the creation of vicariates apostolic for Nova Scotia, Upper Canada, and Prince Edward Island; that for Nova Scotia was established immediately with Burke at its head. The formation of small, isolated vicariates apostolic, each dependent directly on Rome, offended Plessis’s sense of organization and his appreciation of institutional power; in his view the British government would divide and rule.

and economic activities. Ever pragmatic, in the Papal States he criticized past popes and cardinals for their inattention to public utilities, even reproaching them for lavishing money on works of art and on monuments (be they to Catholicism) at the expense of agriculture, commerce, and public health. He was often scandalized by nudity in European painting and sculpture, the more so in works on religious themes used in church decoration. Yet he was sensitive to the power of religious architecture and art for edification: the grandeur and beauty of Lower Canadian churches were sources of pride to him, and he struggled to improve the quality of religious painting in his diocese. Thus, from 1817 he had vigorously urged religious communities and parish priests to purchase items from amagnificent collection of European works sent to Lower Canada from France by Philippe-Jean-Louis Desjardins.
Rome awed Plessis with its centuries of Catholic history, but his voyage was one of business, not a pilgrimage. He was not a spiritual ultramontane. As a seminarian he had been bathed in gallican influences, and these had later been reinforced in the 1790s by his particularly close relations with the French émigré priests whom Hubert had brought to the colony and who still looked on Plessis as their patron. Only circumstances dictated his adoption of views later characterized as ultramontane. Living under a Protestant government obliged him to emphasize the church’s autonomy from the state. The presence of Protestantism evoked the argument that the pope, guided by tradition, was the standard authority for interpretation

date. Ypparila returned that questionnaire prior to August 19, 1950. He signed the conscientious objector portion of the questionnaire and again requested that he be furnished with the Special Form for Conscientious Objector. However, the Local Board did not send him such special form after he returned the second questionnaire.
8
In the second questionnaire, Ypparila stated that he had been engaged in farming all his life; that he was actually and personally responsible for the operation of a 200-acre farm which he operated with his father; that the cultivated portion of the farm consisted of 30 acres of corn, 100 acres of small grains, and 70 acres of hay; that he ran 40 cattle, 75 sheep, and raised 700 chickens; that the value of the products sold during thelast crop year was $5000 and was derived mainly from the sale of eggs, cream, and cattle, and that he was engaged in driving a school bus.
9
On August 19, 1950, the Local Board classified him as 1-A. It notified him of such classification on August 21, 1950. He appeared before the Local Board on August 26, 1950. The hearing lasted approximately 45 minutes, 15 minutes of which was devoted to his conscientious objector claim and 30 minutes to his claim for agricultural deferment. A summary of the information given on such personal appearance sets forth that Ypparila stated he worked on his father's farm; that he had a brother 18 years of age and two married sisters; that his father was 66 years of age, had a bad

which his parents planned to move; that his father's farm consisted of 240 acres, 100 acres of which were irrigated; that registrant also owned a farm of 200 acres, 65 acres of which were irrigated, which he had purchased with money borrowed from his sister.
10
The Board reached the conclusion that because Ypparila had time to spend two hours a day driving a school bus, his presence on the farm was not necessarily required. On August 26, 1950, it again classified him as 1-A.
11
On September 5, 1950, Ypparila took an appeal from his 1-A classification, in which he stated that he believed "his proper classification is II-C." On September 8, 1950, the Local Board forwarded the file to the State Director. The appeal was not acted upon by theState Appeal Board, but was returned to the Local Board in October, 1950. On October 25, 1950, the Local Board again classified Ypparila as 1-A and notified him of such action. He was ordered to take a physical examination on December 28, 1950, and on January 15, 1951, was notified of his physical acceptability. Apparently, the file was then returned to the State Appeal Board.
12
Early in October, 1951, Ypparila submitted to the Local Board certain statements in support of his claim for classification as a conscientious objector. One was in the form of a letter dated March 20, 1951, but sworn to on October 2, 1951. In that letter he stated that for the past ten years his father had actively engaged in Bible study and as a

result registrant had come to know "the requirements of a Christian." He cited quotations from the Bible in support of his claim that it was wrong to engage in worldly wars between nations. He stated that he was not a pacifist and believed that it was proper to engage in theocratic wars and would be proper to engage in the war prophesied in Revelations, commonly known as Armageddon, and cited Bible references in support of his views. He further stated that he was engaged in home Bible study in preparation for future ministerial work. He also filed with the letter a copy of the "Watchtower," issue of February 1, 1951, and referred to the article therein, "Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Not Pacifists," and stated it contained much supplementaryinformation from the Scriptures "concerning the stand of a Christian toward war." He also submitted a statement of Willie Dee Kent, Circuit Servant, Wyoming No. 1, and a sworn statement from his father, both dated September 22, 1951. Both supported his claim. His father stated:

"I have always taught my son Kenneth Elmer Ypparila to respect God's word to live up to the standards of a Christian. It was natural for Elmer, when the issue of participating in war in any form came up, to follow the Christ-like example of conscientiously objecting to participating in war in any form."

Registrant also submitted a statement from Theodore R. Chiller, Company Servant of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Rawlins, Wyoming, dated September 29, 1951, and a statement of William Chiller, an Assistant Company

Servant, dated October 4, 1951, both of which were sworn to. They supported Ypparila's claim and stated that he was baptized at Sheridan, Wyoming, at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses on July 8, 1951.
15
After the file reached the State Appeal Board a second time it was referred to the Department of Justice. The Hearing Officer for the Department of Justice conducted a hearing on October 4, 1951, at which Ypparila appeared in person, accompanied by William A. Chiller and a Thomas Janner. The Hearing Officer recommended that Ypparila be classified as 4-E.1 The Department of Justice, acting through T. Oscar Smith, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, on December 17, 1951, forwarded the file with the Hearing Officer's report to the State Appeal Board and concurred in therecommendation of the Hearing Officer.
16
The State Board classified Ypparila as 1-A-O on January 15, 1952. From that classification, Ypparila appealed. In his notice of appeal, he declared that he was opposed not only to active combat, but to war in any form. He stated, "I shall never let up in my fight to receive justice," and requested that the file be sent to the President of the United States. The file was then sent to the Selective Service Headquarters of South Dakota on November 14, 1952. The State Director took an appeal to the President.
17
The National Selective Service Appeal Board, on January 26, 1953, classified Ypparila in Class 1-A.

Judgment:

1. In the suit out of which this appeal has arisen the plaintiff sued for a declaration of her title and recovery of khas possession with mesne profits of two plots of land in area some nine bighas. Her case was that these two plots of land originally formed two chakran holdings. These chakran holdings were resumed in the year 1905 and on resumption were settled with one Badal Roy. It may be here noted that the plaintiff herself purchased the mehal in 1908. Badal Roy was unable to get possession with the result that the plaintiff brought two suit's with regard to these plots of land Nos. 645 and 646 of 1911 and obtained in these two suits two

Texas’ football history is littered with success.
The Longhorns have won four national championships, the most recent coming in 2005, when a Vince Young-led team completed a dramatic comeback in the last minute to beat USC 41-38 in the Rose Bowl. That win completed a perfect 13-0 season for Texas.
The Longhorns also won national titles in 1970, 1969 and 1963. Texas was awarded the UPI national championship in 1970 before the Cotton Bowl against then-No. 6 Notre Dame, a game in which the

Longhorns’ history, older fans probably want to talk about the glory days of Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.
Campbell (1974-77) was the first Texas player to win the Heisman, in 1977. He finished his career with 4,443 rushing yards, establishing himself as one of the best running backs of all time in the now-defunct Southwest Conference.
Williams played for Texas from 1995-98 and was the second Longhorn to win the Heisman. He still holds the career school rushing record with 6,279 yards.
Texas has 16 players who have rushed for more than 2,000 yards in their careers (Young, a dual-threat quarterback, rushed for 3,127 in three years at Texas.) In comparison, Oregon State has just eight players who have gone over 2,000 yards.

John Brace, CEO of Northland Power, said: "Today's announcement represents yet another first for Northland Power. The addition of the Demo turbines is not only innovative and accretive to the base project, but we are able to undertake this initiative with little additional risk since they will be integrated into the overall construction project. The innovative new mono bucket design could be of significant benefit to some of Northland's future offshore wind farms. The learnings from this pilot could allow Northland to construct faster and lower costs for certain site conditions."

Many charities in New York and around the country saw a surge in donations after the presidential election, a proactive stance taken by those who fear how the poor and marginalized might suffer under the Trump administration. A few board members of the Brooklyn Community Foundation quickly came together to seed an immigrants’ rights fund to support Brooklyn residents with $600,000 pledged so far. In the Brooklyn district of City Councilman Carlos Menchaca, neighbors came together to host dinners for undocumented immigrants to better help them understand their rights.

Description
Nile Rodgers is a founding member of the band Chic, and one of the world's most successful music producers. He wrote 'We are Family' for Sister Sledge and 'I'm Coming Out' for Diana Ross, and produced two of the most popular albums of all time - Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' and David Bowie's 'Let's Dance'. He also performed with Madonna at Live Aid. His life has been extraordinary - his mother was just 13 when she had him, and he was brought up surrounded by a ragged assortment of artists, drop outs and junkies. At the age of 13 he was already sniffing glue and had been turned on to acid by Timothy Leary himself. A natural, instinctive and brilliant musician, in the midst of all the madnesshe somehow managed to teach himself classical guitar. He also found time to become an expert in martial arts and a Black Panther. From the glamour of Studio 54 to the squalor of New York's Valhalla, and with a cast of bohemians, drop-outs, disco divas and the odd world-famous celebrity, Niles Rodgers tells his astonishing story.show more

The largest individual discharge of treated sewage to the river in recent weeks is from St Marys Advanced Water Recycling Plant, one of the biggest in Australia. This plant uses advanced membrane technology to produce highly treated effluent before it is discharged into the river.

Available data are limited, but in the very low river flows in the recent dry summer I estimate that treated sewage comprised almost 32% of the Hawkesbury-Nepean flow in the North Richmond area for the first week of January.

Sequential study of the chronic nephrotoxicity induced by dietary administration of ethoxyquin in Fischer 344 rats.
Groups of 3-week-old male and female Fischer 344 rats were administered 0.5% ethoxyquin-containing diet for varying periods of time, ranging from 4 weeks up to 18 months, to assess renal histopathology. The primary lesion observed was renal papillary necrosis in the male rat, commencing as interstitial degeneration of the papillary tip by 4 weeks exposure, and reaching a complete form of papillary necrosis by 24 weeks. The papillary necrosis in male rats was consistently accompanied by active pyelonephritis affecting the cortex, and urothelial hyperplasia in the renal pelvis. A marked sex difference was evident in that female rats developed papillary change at a later stage than males and the lesion never progressed beyondJoni Mitchell, the nine-song LP was written by Meester and produced by Jeff Trott.

While U.S. District Judge James Zagel blocked some of Webb's questions, Loren admitted he had fudged billing records in an unrelated case.
Webb also questioned Loren about an FBI interview in 2004 in which Loren had apparently left out Cellini — mentioning only Rezko and Levine — in connection with the sham finder's fee scheme.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) today confirmed through DNA analysis that the endangered gray wolf shot dead in Utah was indeed the lone female recently made famous for her journey of hundreds of miles from the Northern Rockies to the Grand Canyon. The wandering wolf was killed earlier this month by a hunter who reportedly mistook her for a coyote.
The pallid sturgeon, a critically endangered North American fish with ancestors dating back to the time of dinosaurs, may die out in a few years without access to prime spawning habitat if river dam operations in the upper Missouri River are not changed. Today, conservation groups filed a lawsuit against three federal agencies, demanding that the agencies fix their dam operations that threaten the existenceof wild pallid sturgeon.
Today the Senate rejected an amendment that would have removed federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken, an iconic grassland grouse whose population recently plummeted leading to a 2014 threatened listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Senator Moran of Kansas introduced the amendment which would have immediately and permanently delisted the imperiled birds, jeopardizing conservation and recovery of the species.
Today the Senate voted down an amendment, sponsored by Mike Lee (UT), to the Keystone pipeline bill that would have restricted citizens’ access to the courts and curtailed their ability to hold the government accountable when it fails to properly enforce the Endangered Species Act.

Got Maille. All of the big machines at the business have names such as Dorothy and Toto. Dave Wallis for MPR News
To ramp up production and meet demand early on, the company rigged up electric drills that would spin a rod to wrap the coils of wire more quickly than they could by hand.
"It became a real big thing for the employees to have a lottery on what day the drill would catch on fire," Ramstad said. "Because the drills would literally catch on fire, and we have to put them out and everybody would cheer, 'Yeah'!"
Now, Weave Got Maille has a new, industrial wire-winding machine that Ramstad's employees designed and built to help speed up production. They designed another machine to cut the rings. After they're cut,the next couple of months, Ramstad said she plans to add four new products to Weave Got Maille's offerings. She thinks each has the potential to double their sales.
And at a recent staff pizza party, the conversation turned to the environmental impact of using plastic straws. That led them to establish a new company that will sell aluminum straws in a variety of colors, personalized with names or logos.

Human remains found behind a cooler at an Iowa supermarket earlier this year were identified on Monday as an employee who went missing 10 years ago.
Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, 25, worked at the No Frills Supermarket in Council Bluffs when he disappeared on Nov. 28, 2009, the Des Moines Register reported.
Earlier that day, his parents said he got upset and ran out of their home, prompting them to report him missing.
Police now believe Murillo-Moncada went to the supermarket after leaving home, climbed on top of the coolers and fell into an 18-inch gap between the coolers and the wall, becoming trapped.
His remains weren’t discovered until Jan. 24, by a contractor removing shelving and the coolers from the supermarket, which shuttered in 2016.
Former employees said the space where the coolersis to focus on the intersection of these fields, and create a Core Biomedical Research Facility focused strategically on The Material Brain. This Recovery Act proposal seeks to create a unique junior hiring position to foster the trans-disciplinary opportunities that such a new core facility provides. These include recruiting faculty who bridge Neural Engineering to the Materials and Life Sciences, and taking advantage of the world-class specialists gathered within this facility. The new hire will hold a tenure track appointment in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM), a secondary appointment in the Department of Neurosurgery, become core faculty in the Center for Neural Engineering and hold affiliate appointments in MRI and HUCK.

On March 1, 2006, the proponents of the initiative (the "Melendez Plaintiffs") filed a mandamus action in the Superior Court of the County of Monterey to compel the County to place the Initiative on the ballot. Since the requisite number of qualified signatures had been obtained, the Melendez Plaintiffs alleged that the County had a ministerial duty to place the Initiative on the ballot.
On March 7, 2006, Monterey County removed the Melendez action to this Court citing as a basis of subject matter jurisdiction 28 U.S.C. 1443(2), alleging that it refused to place the Initiative on the ballot *960to the voting public for signature in violation of the Voting Rights Act because it was printed and circulated only in English and not also in Spanish.

LOS ANGELES — Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam off the All-Star Hyun-Jin Ryu and added a solo shot to help the Yankees set a club record for homers in a month as they routed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-2, Friday night in a matchup of the two teams with the best records in baseball.
Aaron Judge, Gary Sánchez and Gleyber Torres also homered as the Yankees ended a four-game skid. They have a major league-leading 57 homers in August, their most in any month.
Starting on five days’ rest, James Paxton (10-6) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings to win his fifth straight start. He struck out 11 — one off his season high — and walked none.
The teams’ first meeting in three years hada postseason feel, even though neither club looked the part. The Yankees’ pinstripes and Dodgers’ blue and white uniforms were cast aside on Players’ Weekend. The Yankees wore all black and the Dodgers donned all white with player-chosen nicknames on the back.

Mon Laferte can really sing about love, and her latest album, La Trenza, showcases just how well she can tell a love story. While she might not be a household name in the U.S., the Chilean singer has racked up hundreds of millions in YouTube plays with songs like "Tu Falta De Querer" (Your Lack of Love) garnering over 110 million plays alone. Her other hit song "Amárrame" (Tie Me Up) features Colombian rocker Juanes and lends its name to her current tour.
Houstonia caught up with Laferte while she was just kicking off her tour that will bring her to the Bayou City once again this Wednesday, May 31.
You’reA story as American as his music
BY MICHAEL LYDON (michaellydon.com) | My ambition is to reach the heart of the average American, not the highbrow nor the lowbrow but that vast intermediate crew which is the real soul of the country. My public is the real people.
—Irving Berlin
Through the 20th century’s first decades, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, and Irving Berlin were three scrappy Tin Pan Alley competitors, each battling to catch the American public’s ear. All succeeded with masterful, still beloved songs, but Gershwin and Kern never doubted who was the winner and all-time champion. Said Gershwin, “I frankly believe that Irving Berlin is the greatest songwriter who ever lived.” Jerome Kern put it this way: “Irving Berlin has no place in American music. He is American music.”

Billie Holiday, Doris Day, and Barbra Streisand — and by every cabaret vocalist from Maine to California who hopes for a full tip jar at the end of the night.
Berlin’s success tells a story as American as his music. Born in Belarus in 1888 as Israel Beilin, son of cantor Moses Beilin, he fled, aged five, with his family after Russian soldiers burned their village to the ground. With only the clothes on their backs, they emigrated to America — and when their ship docked in New York harbor, Israel’s mother Lena kissed the ground. “This is America,” she said, hugging each of her eight children, “your new country.”
The Beilins found a windowless cold-water basement on the Lower East Side’s Cherry Street, but Moses couldn’t find work asa cantor and, after teaching Hebrew to support his family, died when Irving was thirteen. Nothing daunted, Izzy left school and sang popular ballads for pennies in Bowery saloons, sometimes making up off-color lyrics. Plugging songs at Tony Pastor’s restaurant on 14th Street near Union Square marked a big step up, but his meteoric rise began when his first hit, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” sparked a national dance craze (and the careers of Vernon and Irene Castle).
“Berlin’s life makes a fascinating tale. But oddly, he was fanatical about his privacy, blocking all attempts to dramatize his life,” says Chip Deffaa, a former New York Post cabaret and theater reporter who fell in love with old-time showbiz when growing up in suburban New Jersey.

In this trademark case a French wine grower and merchant seeks to modify a consent decree that bars him from using his family name in his wine importation business because of possible confusion with products offered by the current owner of his late father's company. After an evidentiary hearing, thedistrict court accepted the recommendation of the magistrate judge that the requested modification be denied, 855 F.Supp. 479. The appeal requires us to consider both the appropriate standard and the district court's exercise of discretion in applying that standard. We affirm.
History of the Case
2
In 1946 Alexis Lichine began to import French wines into the United States. In 1951 he purchased Chateau Prieure-Cantenac, a wine-growing chateau in the Haut-Medoc region near Bordeaux, which he renamed Chateau Prieure-Lichine (CPL). In 1955 he founded his own wine-trading company, Alexis Lichine & Cie. (ALC), and in 1964 ALC registered "Alexis Lichine" with the U.S. Patent Office. Shortly thereafter, in October 1964, Lichine sold ALC and its mark to a company affiliated with a major organization

in the wine industry, Bass Charrington. Not involved in the sale was CPL or its mark, which also had been registered in the U.S. Patent Office in July 1964.1
3
In the early 1980s, Alexis's son started his own wine brokerage company, Sacha A. Lichine Estates Selections, and began importing wines into the United States. Predictably, ALC brought a trademark infringement suit. The court granted partial summary judgment for ALC, concluding that the similarity of names was such as to render confusion among customers likely.
4
In 1986, a consent decree was issued enjoining Sacha from using the words Alexis Lichine "or any colorable imitation," including Sacha A. Lichine, S.A. Lichine, or Lichine, in connection with the sale of any alcoholic beverage. ALC waived several causes of action,as well as claims for damages and profits. Both parties assumed their own costs and attorney's fees, and waived appeal.
5
In 1987, Sacha, who had been estranged from his father, returned to CPL. Alexis was by this time widely recognized in the wine industry and had written authoritative books on French wines, as well as his famous "Alexis Lichine's New Encyclopedia of Wines and Spirits." When Alexis died two years later, Sacha inherited the chateau.
6
In early 1990, the Bass Charrington interests sold ALC to another giant, Pernod Ricard (Pernod). ALC is now one of three entities managed by a Pernod subsidiary, Crus et Domaines de France. Meanwhile, as shall be detailed later, Sacha had been improving both the operations of CPL and his

also improved the sales force, physical plant and vineyards. The harvest of 1989 was rated as particularly good. Appellant also had exhibited a promotional flair, had been featured in a number of magazine articles, had participated in prestigious fetes and cruises, and now enjoyed a reputation in the wine industry independent of his father's. In contrast, appellant's witnesses testified, ALC's wines had sunk in recent years to lesser quality, "vin d'ordinaire" status. Moreover, ALC's sales in the United States had declined by some 50 percent between 1991 and 1993, a much greater decline than had affected the general market of French wine imports.
10
ALC's evidence was to the effect that Pernod Ricard, world leader in the aperitif field and owner of some 50 companies, boughtALC in 1990 before it was aware of appellant's effort to modify the injunction. The purchase was part of its "main thrust" in acquisitions to increase its presence in the wine industry. Pernod officials testified to a current strategy to "reconcentrate" on better wines and considered ALC to be basic to that strategy.
11
As early as 1990, an ALC official in Bordeaux had recommended that table wine should be "progressively erased from the entire ALC's line" and that "A. LICHINE should return to its original concept initiated by ALEXIS." A subsequent higher level recommendation was made by the vice president in charge of marketing and sales for Austin Nichols, the company charged with carrying out the marketing plan involving ALC. He described his recommended

objective as effecting "a defined segmentation" with one entity (Cruse) representing "the most popular-priced volume-oriented table wines" and Alexis Lichine representing the "exclusive chateaus that we would have offered to us."
12
This recommendation, he further testified, was accepted and reflected in a document entitled "Alexis Lichine--Cruse--1993." Under "Strategy" were these comments:
13
Reposition Alexis Lichine to a portfolio of mid to high prices [sic] wines.
14
Reposition Cruse to include mainly low priced table wines and mid-priced varietals with a limited line of Petits Chateaux.
15
Notwithstanding these resolves, Pernod first needed to dispose of its existing inventories of wines in a declining market. As a result, little headway had been made with the new strategy at the time of the hearing on Sacha's request for a modification. Certain steps hadbeen taken, however. Higher priced wines were being marketed, promotional literature was being pushed, wine writers were being wooed, ALC wines were reaching a considerable number of restaurant wine lists, participation in important wine promotions had taken place, and entry into the airline market was underway.
16
The magistrate judge found that ALC had invested in ALC wines, though not in large amounts; that the company had not abandoned the mark, and indeed was dealing in wine "not devoid of quality"; that, nevertheless, there had been a decline in both quality and quantity of ALC wine sold in the United States since 1986; and that Sacha Lichine now was a well respected figure in the wine industry, known for producing high quality wine.

followed by a lawsuit and a solemn consent decree, this also for the substantial consideration of waiver of claims for damages, profits, costs, and attorney's fees. A fairly short time has transpired since the decree, and an even shorter time since Pernod acquired ALC. And although Pernod and its subsidiary have made little progress in rebuilding the fortunes of ALC, there have been the obstacles of outside economic forces as well as the dead weight of existing inventory. We cannot say that Pernod's incipient strategy for ALC is a fabrication or without substance. Finally, appellant cannot be said to be suffering to any unconscionable degree.

He is Narconon, he is the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, and he is The Way to Happiness. In most countries Narconon runs drug rehab centers while the Foundation for a Drug Free World does education. Since the Cape Town Narconon closed many years ago, Van Der Feyst is an independent operator, and is the sole presence of Narconon in southern South Africa.

But Seidle found one more clever trick, this time taking advantage of a design quirk in the safe intended to prevent traditional safecracking. Because the safe has a rod that slips into slots in the three rotors when they're aligned to the combination's numbers, a human safecracker can apply light pressure to the safe's handle, turn its dial, and listen or feel for the moment when that rod slips into those slots. To block that technique, the third rotor of Seidle's SentrySafe is indented with twelve notches that catch the rod if someone turns the dial while pulling the handle.

student was released last week after a judge agreed he was a “high-achieving student.”
Milaski’s motion also argued that he needed to help his parents prepare for Hurricane Dorian and tend to his double major as a senior about to graduate, according to The Alligator, the UF student newspaper.
The woman, identified only as a UF sophomore, told officers that Milaski called her drunkenly and said he needed water on the night of Aug. 25, according to a police report. She said she walked Milaski back to his room, but he kept trying to make out with her despite her protests. After she continued to refuse his advances, he reportedly grabbed her by the wrists and said, “I want to sleep with you.”

Opponents of that theory argue that human activities during that time did not produce significant amounts of methane and thus natural emissions were the dominant cause for the rise in atmospheric methane (CH4).
Mitchell, who is now a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Utah explains, "the increase in methane emissions during the late Holocene came primarily from the tropics, with some contribution from the extratropical Northern Hemisphere."
Scientists determine methane levels by examining ice cores from polar regions. Gas bubbles containing ancient air trapped within the ice can be analyzed and correlated with chronological data to determine methane levels on a multidecadal scale. Mitchell and his colleagues examined ice cores from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide and the Greenland Ice Sheet Project and found

Day 3 The West Indies finally ended their second innings with a lead of 31 runs. England quickly reached this target, and won the first Test in a series for the first time in 15 attempts. This was also the first win at Lord's since 2005. Chanderpaul ended the match with only 4 runs and a duck, his lowest match total in his career.
2nd Test
Day 1: England won the toss and elected bat. Bopara and Cook scored centuries (108 & 126* respectly). Bopara scored his third consecutive century (all vs West Indies); he is the first Englishman since Graham Gooch in 1990 to achieve this feat. England closed the day on 302 for 2.
Day 2: There was no play on the second dayAustralia's Centenary of Federation Fund. The Centre became solely managed through Southern Cross University in 2010.
The Centre is sited within the grounds of the Novotel Pacific Bay Resort, a few kilometers north of Coffs Harbour. The building was at one time the resort's sports centre, gymnasium, squash courts, and alfresco restaurant.

District after the birth of their son, until they relocated to Arlington, Virginia, in
January 2009. The parties dispute, and the trial court did not decide, whether the
parties intended to relocate to Virginia permanently or instead only temporarily
while searching for a permanent residence in the District.
After a bitter argument in early March 2009, Ms. Khawam left the marital
home and went to Tampa, Florida, taking the child with her against Mr. Wolfe’s
express objections. Mr. Wolfe repeatedly demanded that Ms. Khawam disclose
her precise location and return with the child, but Ms. Khawam refused. Several
weeks after Ms. Khawam left for Florida, Mr. Wolfe filed a complaint here in the
District seeking custody of the child. Aware of the pending 8

to force currently serving transgender individuals to leave the military solely on the basis of their gender identity rather than medical and readiness standards that should always be at the heart of Department of Defense personnel policy,” the senator said last month.
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is trying to use the defense bill to force Congress to debate its war powers — something lawmakers have been ducking for years despite calls by members of both parties to take up the issue.
Paul is pushing an amendment that would repeal the 2001 and 2002 war resolutions after six months. The 2001 authorization for use of military force was passed ahead of the war in Afghanistan and has become the legal underpinning for the entire U.S. war on terror, including currentbarred from stop-page of the goods as against him.
As between the buyer and the seller, the latter's right to stop the goods at any time until they reach the place of final delivery is recognized by this section.
The storage area was not clearly under Morrison's control. Morrison had no means to move the goods. There is no evidence that Morrison's possession was inconsistent with Hiross's "right to stop the goods at any time until they reach the place of final delivery." The Court, therefore, finds that there was no "receipt" and consequently no "delivery."
However, that does not end the inquiry, for Morrison ably argues that the § 2-702(1) right to withhold delivery is a right that must be actively asserted at the time that the seller decides to

the proposal when testifying. One board member called the loss of choice in schools for his children "insulting," according to court documents.
Many were concerned about the loss of extracurricular and educational opportunities that came with having more schools.
The district proposals
In Friday's ruling, Judge Brown called the two proposals put forward by the school district unconstitutional.
The district's "Plan A" centered on giving parents and students more academic choices.
Eighth-graders, for example, would be given an opportunity to enroll at either of the district's high schools, and admission would be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The plan also aimed to improve academic offerings at East Side High.
Judge Brown, however, ruled against the plan because similar "freedom of choice" measures had not worked to help achieve desegregation.
"Because Plan A's freedom of choiceplan would leave D.M. Smith and East Side High as one-race schools, the plan is unconstitutional," she said.
The other plan would have put all the high school students in one of the schools, and then turned the other into a [science, technology, engineering and math] magnet with local arts partnerships. The middle schools would be combined, and the extra space would then be used for the elementary school.
Brown called this plan inadequate and infeasible. She also said it "unreasonably delays desegregation" for the district's middle schools.
Cleveland not alone
Monday's Civil Rights Project report, "Brown at 62: School Segregation by Race, Poverty and State," says that overwhelmingly nonwhite schools tripled between 1991 and 2007, while the percentage of schools where 90% or more of students are more white have declined

its Latino population "soared." Michigan dropped down the ranks, which "probably relates to the drastic shrinkage of the Detroit Public Schools and the suburbanization of black families in that metropolitan area."
The report closes by applauding efforts of President Barack Obama's administration but asserting there is much more work to be done. School segregation perpetuates the "stratification in the society" and leaves students unprepared to "in a complex society which will have no racial majority," it says.
"Segregated schools build and sustain a segregated society," the report says. "We need to create schools that build a society where the talent of all is developed and students of all races/ethnicities are prepared to understand and live successfully in a society that moves beyond separation toward mutual respect and integration."Project Summary The last several years have witnessed growing interest in the potential contribution of the food environment to the epidemic increase in obesity rates in the United States. Early empirical evidence suggests that there is significant variation across geographic areas in the availability of different kinds of foods. More economically and socially disadvantaged communities have poorer food environments, with healthy food less available and unhealthy food more available in those communities. There appears to be growing evidence that characteristics of the food environment are associated with dietary behaviors and outcomes, but there are still many unanswered questions in this area. In large part we don't yet know exactly which characteristics of the food environment are most influential, how influential they are, in which geospatial environments, and for

numerous times over the years by dozens of artists. Berry's original version is included on the Voyager Golden Record (a gold plated titanium disc with messages and music recorded on it) attached to the Voyager spacecraft in 1977 representing rock & roll music. The song will also be featured in the film Back To The Future in 1985, where in a humorous plot twist Berry's fictional cousin Marvin Berry overhears the song being performed by actor Michael J. Fox (actually sung by Mark Campbell of Jack Mack & The Heart Attack) who calls his cousin to tell him he's just heard the "new sound" he's been looking for. The original single of "Johnny B. Goode" is backed with the Berry-penned "Around And Around," which will also become arock & roll standard that is also widely covered, most notably by The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, The Animals, and David Bowie. Chuck Berry's original recording of "Johnny B. Goode" is inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1999.
In 1978 Linda McCartney, then a member of husband Paul's Wings, teamed up with British animator and director Ian Emes (known for his work with Pink Floyd) to create the hauntingly hypnotic cartoon short The Oriental Nightfish (so named after the Linda-penned composition it accompanies). The song features Linda's lead vocals as well as her electric piano and moog synth stylings with Wings filling in the gaps, providing a little extra sonic lift.

just how this totally far out project achieved full realization:
I got pissed off whisky and put the music on as loud as it would go, and lay on my back in the living room and let it wash over me. The whisky did indeed help, and I came up with this weird idea where alien forces enter this building where someone who looks like Linda McCartney plays a Gothic Expressionistic Wurlitzer. This blonde female is penetrated, got naked and inhabited by the alien force, then she's replicated, before becoming a comet that explodes. The film was a bit weird and scary and a little bit sexual. Yet it was later put on Paul McCartney's Rupert The Bear video for children. The kids who watched it years ago arenow in their 20s, and they've set up an internet site called The Oriental Nightfish Haunted My Childhood. I guess it freaked them out and opened their imagination.
Though the aforementioned site seems doomed to internet obscurity (if it even exists), the track "The Oriental Nightfish" is available on the studio/compilation album Wide Prairie released in 1998 following Linda McCartney's death earlier that year. The video for "The Oriental Nightfish" was made available on the VHS release of Rupert and the Frog Song -- a 1984 animated film based on the comic strip character Rupert Bear, written and produced by Paul McCartney -- a questionable placement given the not-so-vague sexual content of this short. There are some "import" vinyl collections out there that feature the song, one such release

On this day in music history: May 27, 1972 - "Oh Girl" by The Chi-Lites hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week, also topping the R&B singles chart for two weeks on June 3rd. Written and produced by Eugene Record, it is the biggest pop hit, and the second R&B chart topper for the Chicago based R&B quartet. Record will write and demo the song, then forget about it for a time. Producer and arranger Carl Davis will hear the demo and tell The Chi-Lites lead vocalist that he has a potential hit on his hands. Recorded at Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, the track is engineered by Bruce Swedien (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones) and features Record playing bass andguitar on the track along with other members of Brunswick's regular rhythm section including Quinton Joseph (drums) and Tom Washington, aka "Tom Tom 84," (piano). Issued as a single on March 2, 1972, the song will receive a major boost when The Chi-Lites appear on comedian Flip Wilson's top rated comedy/variety program. At first the producers of the show will expect them to perform their recent hit "Have You Seen Her," but after hearing the brand new song, they'll change their minds and emphatically agree to the group's request to perform their new single for the first time on national television. Entering the Hot 100 at #80 on April 8, 1972, it will climb to the top of the chart seven weeks later, ending Roberta Flack's six week

The Qing Dynasty - Read All About the Last Sovereignty of China
The Qing dynasty was the last monarchy to have ruled China. Though they made considerable expansions to the borders of China, and took Chinese art and science to new heights, the isolationist policies that they followed ended their rule. This rule spanned over two centuries.

The Qing Dynasty was founded by the Manchu clan, who belonged to Manchuria (the north eastern region of present day China). It succeeded the Ming Dynasty in 1644, with the help of the Ming rebels. It lasted till 1912, until the Xinhai Revolution dethroned its last emperor. Other than the Yuan Dynasty (founded by the Mongols), the Qing Dynasty was the only dynasty that was not founded bythe Han Chinese who are the natives of China. Hence, the Yuan and the Qing Dynasties are considered to be foreigners to have ruled China.
Birth of the Qing
It was founded in 1636, by Huang Taiji, when he donned the title of emperor and renamed the state of Later Jin ,founded by his father Nuarhaci to the Great Qing. In 1644, Li Zicheng led a rebellion of peasants against the Ming dynasty that was already weakened by its defeats under Nuarhaci and Huang Taiji's armies. Li Zicheng's men overthrew the Ming dynasty and set up a new regime in Beijing. However, in 1644, the Qings succeeded in wooing a general named Sangui to rebel against Li Zicheng. With his help, the Qings were successful in capturing Beijing, which laid

a queue. In the other measure of literary inquisition, the writings of intellectuals of China were judged by Manchu authorities. If the literary works were found to be against the ruler, the writers would be persecuted.
The period of rule of this dynasty was that of peace and prosperity. Public works improved under the Qing rule. The rulers reduced taxes and also exempted the population from paying them when famine or drought struck them. Trade and commerce flourished as well. For the first time influence of the west was felt in China. England wanted to import tea and silk from China. European effect was also seen in Chinese art. While writers produced brilliant works in the form of novels, short stories and drama, artists made numerous innovations in creatingnew colors. The reign of the Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong is termed as the Golden Age of the Qing Dynasty. The 250 years rule, of the three emperors, saw arts and science reach the highest levels during the entire rule of the Qing. Impressive literary works like A Dream of Red Mansions, The Scholars and The Peach Blossom Fan, were written.
Fall
With the beginning of the 19th century, control of the dynasty over China started to weaken. China entered into the Opium Wars around 1840s with Britain in which they were defeated by the British armies. Internal rebellions, like the T'ai P'ing rebellion, further weakened the kingdom. Japan's ambition to conquer its neighboring lands, in order to use them as buffer against foreign attacks and also

to establish trade relations, were also felt in China. Besides all these external problems, the royal family itself had to deal with young and incompetent rulers. The final blow to the dynasty came with the Xinhai revolution when Puyi, the last emperor of it abdicated the throne on February 12, 1912.
The fall of the Qing dynasty paved way for the establishment of the Republic of China. However, the Republic was not established immediately with the Xinhai revolution. The country faced a second failed revolution and the Chinese Civil War until the People's Republic of China was officially established on October 1, 1949.The background: Strictly speaking, Bernhoft isn't new because he has released albums and singles before and he's been in bands for yonks. But he was new enough for the Great Escape, and indeed when he appeared on the New Band of the Day stage at the festival last Saturday, he was bottom of the bill and the only people who seemed familiar with his work were two fellow musicians from his home country we met outside the venue who hailed him "the biggest thing to come out of Norway since a-ha".
