All Bernhoft, an unassuming thirtysomething with a post-punk haircut and thick black Costello-specs (TM), had on his side was an acoustic guitar, a range of pedals by his feet and a strong, soulful voice.
But what he did with those few tools was quite extraordinary. Using them, and via a process of instant recording, looping and layering, he was able to create the sound of a full band – including all the instrumental parts plus backing singers on rich harmonies– and it was all just him. And it was a good band. Not quite the shrill, electro cyber-punk of Trippple Nippples.

Here, a liquid ejecting apparatus is meant to include not only a recording apparatus of an ink jet type recording apparatus, a copier, a facsimile or the like for ejecting ink from a recording head as a liquid ejecting head to a recorded member of a record sheet or the like to record on the recorded member but also an apparatus of

ejecting a liquid in correspondence with a specific use in place of ink from a liquid ejecting head in correspondence with the recording head to an ejected member in correspondence with the recorded member to adhere the liquid onto the ejected member. Further, as the liquid ejecting head, other than the above-described recording head, there are exemplified a colorant ejecting head used for fabricating a color filter of a liquid crystal display or the like, an electrode member (conductive paste) ejecting head used for forming an electrode of an organic EL display, a face light emitting display (FED) or the like, a living body organism ejecting head used for fabricating a biochip, and a sample ejecting head for ejecting a sample as a precision pipette or the like.
Thereis an ink jet printer as an example of an ink jet type recording apparatus or a liquid ejecting apparatus. An ink jet printer includes an ink jet recording head at a carriage thereof and the carriage is driven to reciprocate in a main scanning direction by a carriage motor and a belt for transmitting driving of the carriage motor while being guided by guide means (for example, guide shaft extended in the main scanning direction).
However, when a rapid speed change is brought about in driving the carriage motor, that is, when the carriage is abruptly stopped or abruptly started, a tension of the belt is rapidly changed. Therefore, in accordance with a change in the tension of the belt, vibration is brought about at the belt. Further,

From its commencement the apostle designates God as the
Saviour-God. Paul is the apostle of Jesus Christ by the
commandment of God our Saviour. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
confidence and the hope of the soul.
We observe also that the apostle's wish differs from that which
he expresses when addressing an assembly; "Grace, mercy," he says,
"and peace." He does not say "mercy" to the assemblies, which
stand before God as such, in consequence of the mercy shown them,
and which (however low their condition might be) are viewed as
assemblies according to the nature in which they live by the
Spirit, in which there is no question of mercy, because that
nature is itself of God. Grace and peace are that which they are
to enjoy on the part of God. But when an individual is in
question,whatever his piety or faithfulness may be, he is both
flesh and spirit, his career has yet in part at least to be
provided for, having always need of mercy. Therefore the apostle
wishes it to Timothy as well as to Titus.* In the case of Philemon
he adds "the church in thy house," and his wish has therefore no
longer the personal form. But with Timothy and Titus it is the
apostle's intimacy with his beloved fellow-labourers. He knew how
much they needed mercy. It was his own resource, that which he had
experienced for the comfort of his own soul.
{*There is, however, some question as to the reading in Titus.}
The special object for which Paul had left Timothy at Ephesus,
when he went into Macedonia, was that he might watch over the
doctrine which was taught;

a sword for the conscience, it may be
used. But grace alone is the source of our preaching and the stay
of our souls.
These two systems and their respective places are presented in
verses 5-17, which form a kind of parenthesis, the apostle
resuming his address to Timothy in verse 18. The use of the law
is explained in verses 8-13. The apostle in a certain sense lowers
it here, while acknowledging its utility in its place, as the
weapon of righteousness for condemnation, and contrasts it with
the gospel which is connected with the glory of God Himself which
this gospel proclaims, as the law is connected with the wickedness
which it condemns.
Having spoken of the gospel of the glory which had been
committed to him, the apostle turns to the sovereign grace that
brought him into the knowledgeof this glory which is the
testimony to the accomplishment of the work of grace.
"I give thanks," he says, "to Jesus Christ our Lord, who hath
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, who was before
a blasphemer and persecutor and injurious." This indeed was
grace.
The apostle speaks of two things in his conversion: the one,
how God could have compassion on him in such a state -- he was in
ignorance; the other, the purpose of God that the apostle should
be a pattern of grace to all. That he was in ignorance and
unbelief, although a condition which made mercy possible (for had
he been an enemy, knowing and willing it, while acquainted with
the grace of the gospel, it would have been impossible), yet that
condition was no excuse for his sin; he puts pure

and perfect
grace forward, as having abounded in his case -- he was the chief
of sinners. This indeed was true. The high priests had resisted
the Holy Ghost to the uttermost. Paul had joined them in it: but
he was not satisfied with that. He desired to be the active enemy
of the faith wherever it existed, and to destroy the name of
Jesus. He had done much at Jerusalem, but he wished to satiate his
hatred even in foreign cities. We know his history in the
Acts. The living expression of Jewish resistance to grace, he was
also among men the expression of the most active human enmity to
Him whom God would glorify. Grace was greater than the sin, the
patience of God more perfect than the perseverance of man's
hostility. The latter was limited by man'simportance, the former
has no limit in the nature of God but that of His own sovereign
will. Guilty as man may be, his sin cannot so reach God as to
disturb the independent action of His nature or change His
purposes. He was pleased to show forth in Paul a pattern of the
sovereignty of that grace and perfect goodness -- to the Jews
hereafter, who as a nation will be in Saul's condition -- to all
men as the enemies of God and by nature children of wrath. The
chief, the most active, the most inveterate of enemies was the
best and most powerful of witnesses that the grace of God abounded
over sin, and that the work of Christ was perfect to put it away.

of all the ages in His counsels -- "unto the only God,
invisible, incorruptible," he ascribes all praise and all
glory. Such was the foundation of Paul's ministry in contrast with
the law. It was founded on the revelation of grace; but it was a
revelation connected with the experience of its application to his
own case. Peter, guilty of denying a living Saviour, could speak
to the Jews of grace that met their case, which was his own; Paul,
formerly the enemy of a glorified Saviour and the resister of the
Holy Ghost, could proclaim grace that rose above even that state
of sinfulness, above all that could flow from human nature --
grace that opened the door to the Gentiles according to God's own
counsels, when the Jews had rejected everything, substituting the
heavenly assembly for them --end of the command, of this evangelical commission, was
love flowing from a pure heart and a good conscience and faith
unfeigned. For the gospel, while revealing the marvellous
counsels of God, maintains the great eternal principles of His
nature. It is this which distinguishes truth from the lofty
pretensions of heretical imaginations; it requires that man should
be in relationship with God really in heart and in truth according
to those principles. And this commission the apostle now
entrusted to Timothy, his own son in the faith. He was to maintain
it with an authority that had its basis in divine testimony, but
which he held formally from the apostle who appointed him to it;
not merely of his own accord, but according to prophecies which
had pointed him out for this purpose, and which were a means of
strength

to him in the conflict he was thus brought into. The
conditions of victory were in accordance with the nature of the
commission. He was to keep the faith and a good conscience. Now
faith here is the doctrine of Christianity; yet not merely as
doctrine, but as that which the soul held between itself and God
as coming from Him. He had to maintain the truth, the christian
doctrine, but to hold it as so revealed by God Himself to the soul
that it should be the truth. The light should possess, with
well-defined outlines, the authority of God.
It was the faith, that which God had revealed, received with
certainty as such -- as the truth.
But, to be in communion with God, the conscience must be good,
must be pure; and if we are not in communionwith God, we cannot
have the strength that would maintain us in the faith, that would
enable us to persevere in the profession of the truth, as God
gives it to us. Satan has then a hold upon us, and if the
intellect of one in this state is active, he falls into
heresy. The loss of a good conscience opens the door to Satan,
because it deprives us of communion with God; and the active mind,
under Satan's influence, invents ideas instead of confessing the
truth of God. The apostle treats the fruit of this state as
"blasphemies"; the will of man is at work, and the higher the
subject, the more an unbridled will, possessed by the enemy, goes
astray, and exalts itself against God, and against the subjection
of the whole mind to the obedience of Christ,

assembly ought to
have the knowledge, and be the guardian and instrument of the
accomplishment of the dealings of God with His own. Within the
assembly is the Holy Ghost; God dwells in it as His house by the
Spirit. Without is the world of which Satan is the prince. The
apostle (by the power bestowed on him,* for it is an act of
positive power) delivered these two men into the power of the
enemy -- deprived them of the shelter they had enjoyed. They had
listened to the enemy -- had been his instruments. It was not in
the assembly, with members of Christ, that this should have taken
place. They must be made to feel what he was to whom they had
given ear. God thus made use of Satan himself as a rod for the

It's easy to get caught up in all of the doom and gloom surrounding the Jackets so far this year, but it's not all bad. There's plenty of hockey left to play, and there are reasons for optimism. Let's get right to it:
Ryan Johansen's Hot Start
Immediately after he signed with the Jackets after an ugly contract negotiation, most thought that he would take a while to get up to game speed after missing all of training camp. To our delight, not only did he start the season off looking like a guy who hasn't missed a beat, he's continued to show why he is a star in the making. At this point, he's put up 5G-8A-13PTS in 11 games played, and has been a force for the Jackets.of the more consistent players in the league. He brings all-out effort, a nice scoring touch, and a serious physical edge. In a contract year, he's taken another step, scoring at a higher pace and most importantly, carrying the team on his shoulders during one of the lowest points in franchise history. He's leading by example, saying all of the right things, and showing just how much of a warrior he is. Just days after being taken off the ice on a stretcher, he was back out there throwing his weight around and scoring goals. This is captain material, people. Whether or not he gets the "C" on his sweater, Foligno is a leader and he's deserving of every cent he gets on his new contract, which will

kick in next season.
Waiver Wire Wonder
Jack Skille was a Swiss army knife for the Jackets last year, contributing in various different ways when called upon. It was tough to see such a versatile player go this past summer, but serendipitously he made his return to the Jackets after being claimed on waivers. He's found a home as a Blue Jacket, and his speed, shot and versatility is again on display this season. He won't score 30 goals, but he fits the mold and is a valuable part of the CBJ machine.
A Free Preview of the Future
Sure, they were thrust into prime time prematurely, but it's exciting to see the potential of Alexander Wennberg and Marko Dano. They aren't ready to be major contributors yet, but thanks to alldebate in Congress. Vitter included this provision after learning from the Pentagon that many public schools maintained strict privacy policies protecting student information from being released to any outside parties, thus preventing aggressive military recruiting.
In addition, the Pentagon also recently set up a database of 30 million 16-25-year-olds, including name, address, email addresses, cell phone numbers, ethnicity, social security numbers and areas of study. This Pentagon database is updated daily and distributed monthly to the Armed Services for recruitment purposes.
In response to both of these violations to the privacy of children across the country, Mainstreet Moms (The MMOB) is coordinating the Leave My Child Alone! campaign in partnership with Working Assets. The campaign, comprised of ongoing online and offline actions, is focused on the following goals:

78 F.Supp.2d 76 (1999)
UNITED STATES of America,
v.
Justin VOLPE, Defendant.
No. 98 CR 196.
United States District Court, E.D. New York.
December 13, 1999.

Marvyn M. Kornberg, Kew Gardens, NY, for defendant.
*79 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
NICKERSON, District Judge.
On May 25, 1999 the defendant, Justin Volpe, pleaded guilty to six counts of a twelve count indictment.
The Court is required to sentence Volpe under the United States Sentencing Guidelines ("the Guidelines") as set forth by the United States Sentencing Commission ("the Commission") in the Guidelines Manual effective November 1, 1998.
In a Presentence Investigative Report dated August 13, 1999 (the "Presentence Report"), the United States Probation Department calculated Volpe's offense level under the Guidelines. Volpeobjects to several portions of that report. The Court now sets forth a memorandum and order embodying its findings and conclusions as to Volpe's sentence.
I.
The record is more than adequate to support findings of fact as follows.
At approximately 4:00 a.m. on August 9, 1997, New York City Police Officers from the 70th Precinct were summoned to Club Rendez-Vous, a nightclub located on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Among them were Officers Justin Volpe, Thomas Bruder, Charles Schwarz, and Thomas Wiese, and Sergeant Michael Bellomo.
The officers attempted to disperse a large crowd that had gathered outside the club to watch a fight between two patrons. As the officers tried to push and urge the crowd away from the club, several of those gathered on the street became unruly,

yelling and throwing bottles at the officers. During the fracas, Volpe struggled with an intoxicated patron named John Rejouis and eventually pushed Rejouis to the ground. Rejouis held up his badge as a New York City Corrections Officer. Volpe slapped Rejouis's hand and knocked the badge to the ground.
Shortly thereafter, Abner Louima confronted Volpe and began yelling at him regarding his treatment of Rejouis. Volpe attempted to push Louima away from the club, but Louima refused to move and the confrontation escalated. As Schwarz, Wiese and other officers approached and tried to handcuff Louima, Volpe was struck hard on the side of his head and knocked to the ground. Volpe thought Louima had hit him. In fact, Jay Nicholas, Louima's cousin, struck Volpe and then fled.
Officers who hadseen Nicholas strike Volpe began chasing Nicholas up Flatbush Avenue. Volpe joined the chase, thinking he was in pursuit of Louima. During the chase Volpe encountered Patrick Antoine, an individual who had not been at the club and was simply on his way home. Volpe yelled at Antoine and began beating him, using a flashlight to strike his head and face. Antoine suffered bruises and contusions on his head and a laceration over his right eye that required seven stitches. Several other officers then arrived and placed Antoine under arrest.
Later on the morning of August 9, 1999, Volpe provided false information to Assistant Kings County District Attorney Sheila O'Rourke regarding his assault on Antoine. He told O'Rourke that while he was attempting to place Louima in handcuffs, Antoine

Wiese then drove Louima to the 70th Precinct and presented him to Sergeant Jeffrey Fallon at the front desk. Schwarz and Fallon began filling out paperwork regarding Louima. Louima was still in handcuffs, and while he was being processed his pants and underwear fell to his ankles.
Volpe arrived at the precinct shortly after Schwarz. He saw Louima at the front desk, then walked to the juvenile questioning room, where he grabbed a wooden broom stick and broke it over his knee. He placed the bottom of the stick behind a locker, took the upper section to the bathroom and put it behind a garbage can. Volpe then left the bathroom and walked to the front desk, where Schwarz and Fallon were still processing Louima. Volpe borrowed a pairof leather gloves from Officer Mark Schofield, who was standing near the front desk.
Louima testified that when Fallon finished processing him, the driver of the car in which he was transported to the precinct grabbed him by the handcuffs and took him to the bathroom, his pants and underwear still around his ankles, forcing him to shuffle-step, and opened the door to the bathroom and took Louima inside, with Volpe following.
Volpe then picked up the stick he had put behind the garbage can and told Louima, "I'm going to do something to you. If you yell or make any noise, I'll kill you." Volpe pushed Louima to the ground, with his head near a toilet bowl, and kicked him in the groin. When Louima began screaming, Volpe put

his foot over Louima's mouth. Louima testified that the two officers began to punch him about the head and body, and that the driver of the car then grabbed Louima by his handcuffs and lifted him from the ground.
Volpe then forced the broken broomstick approximately six inches into Louima's rectum. He removed the stick, which was covered with Louima's feces, and held it in front of Louima's mouth and taunted him. Volpe then slammed the stick against the wall, leaving behind traces of feces.
With Louima crying and in severe pain, Volpe lifted him to his feet and took him to a holding cell, leaving Louima's pants and underwear around his ankles. Before putting him in the cell, Volpe told Louima that if he told anybody what had happened,Volpe would kill him. Volpe then returned the leather gloves, now covered with Louima's blood, to Schofield.
Volpe later encountered Louima sitting on a chair outside his cell waiting to be taken to the hospital. Volpe cursed at Louima, pulled the chair away from him, and told him to return to the cell and get down on his knees.
Several of the officers involved in the events outside the nightclub, including Volpe, went to the New York Community Hospital on the morning of August 9, 1999, to be treated for minor injuries sustained during those events. At the hospital, Volpe was overheard telling fellow officers that "I broke a man down." Volpe later returned to the 70th Precinct, where he *81 told Sergeant Kenneth Wernick what he had done to

Louima, saying "I took a man down tonight." Volpe took Wernick to the bathroom and showed him the stick used in the sexual assault, which Volpe had left in the bathroom. Shortly thereafter, Volpe showed the stick to Officer Michael Schoer. Smelling Louima's feces on the stick, Schoer said, "What is that, dog shit?" Volpe responded, "No, human shit." Volpe subsequently threw the broom handle into a trash bin outside the precinct.
Approximately four hours after the bathroom assault, Louima and Antoine were taken to Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Antoine received seven stitches to close the laceration on his head and was discharged later that day. Louima was initially diagnosed with swelling in his head and a laceration over his eye, but further tests showed internalinjuries to his bladder and rectum. On the evening of August 9, 1997, doctors surgically repaired a two-centimeter perforation to Louima's rectum and a three-centimeter perforation to his bladder. Doctors also performed colostomy and cystostomy procedures.
Louima remained hospitalized until October 10, 1997. Among the complications he suffered was an intestinal blockage requiring emergency surgery and the implantation of a colostomy bag. Louima underwent surgery again in February 1998 to remove the colostomy bag. After his release from the hospital on October 10, 1997, Louima received medical and psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis and continued to suffer severe headaches, abdominal pain and insomnia.
On August 10, 1997, the Internal Affairs Bureau of the New York City Police Department began an investigation into the events at the 70th Precinct. That

evening, Internal Affairs inspectors interviewed Louima at the Coney Island Hospital, and on August 11, 1997, they arrived at the 70th Precinct to collect evidence.
Volpe was arrested and charged with the assault on August 13, 1997. The Kings County District Attorney's office agreed to dismiss the state charges in lieu of this federal prosecution. On February 26, 1998, Volpe and Schwarz surrendered to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
A federal indictment was issued on February 26, 1998, and the superceding federal indictment on which Volpe was tried was issued March 3, 1999. Jury selection began on April 14, 1999, and the trial itself on May 4, 1999. On May 25, 1999, three days before the scheduled close of the government's case in chief, Volpe pleaded guilty to six ofa pair of gloves, returned to the bathroom, taunted, beat and kicked Louima, told him not to yell, rammed the stick into Louima's rectum, waved the feces-covered stick in Louima's face, then left the bathroom and returned the gloves. On his way out of the bathroom, he threatened to kill Louima if he revealed what had happened. Later, as Louima sat outside his holding cell waiting to be taken to the hospital, Volpe pulled a chair from him and forced him to get back in the cell and down on his knees. Still later, he twice boasted to fellow officers that he "broke a man down" and "took a man down," and then *92 proudly showed off the feces-stained broom handle.

Pratibha Singh and others.
Besides 83-year-old Singh and his 62-year-old wife, the others named in the ED chargesheet, filed through advocate A R Aditya, are Universal Apple Associate owner Chunni Lal Chauhan, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) agent Anand Chauhan and two other co-accused Prem Raj and Lawan Kumar Roach.
Anand Chauhan, arrested on July 9, 2016 by the ED under relevant provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, was granted bail on January 2 in the case.
In a separate case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in relation to the matter, the former Himachal Pradesh chief minister, his wife and Chauhan were chargesheeted along with others.
The couple, who have not been arrested so far in any of the two cases, and the other accused are facing trialin the CBI case.
The other accused in the CBI case are Chunni Lal Chauhan, stamp paper vendor Joginder Singh Ghalta, Managing Director of Tarani Infrastructure Vakamulla Chandrasekhar, and co-accused Lawan Kumar Roach, Prem Raj and Ram Prakash Bhatia.
The CBI had claimed that Virbhadra Singh had amassed assets worth around Rs 10 crore which were disproportionate to his total income during his tenure as a Union minister.
The matter was transferred by the Supreme Court to the Delhi High Court which, on April 6, 2016, asked the CBI not to arrest Singh and directed him to join the probe.
On November 5 last year, the apex court transferred Singh's plea from the Himachal Pradesh High Court to the Delhi High Court, saying it was not expressing any opinion on the merits

economy during the “Roosevelt Recession”, FDR announced in his Thanksgiving Proclamations, both in 1939 and 1940, declaring the date of Thanksgiving to be the second-to-last Thursday of the month.
While Abraham Lincoln had established the Thanksgiving holiday in 1863 to bring the country together, the confusion caused by FDR’s date change was tearing it apart. On December 26, 1941, Congress passed a law declaring that Thanksgiving would occur every year on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year, Black Friday falls on November 28th, meaning the Christmas shopping calendar is reduced to a little less than four weeks…this in a year which has seen the Dow lose half its value, industry after industry climbing capital hill begging for handouts, and unemployment on the rise.
Unlike those of The Great Depression, however,Scandals and war fallout cast doubt on Olmert’s leadership
Following the sudden but not unexpected resignation of the Israeli army's chief of staff, pundits are asking how much longer Ehud Olmert, the country's beleaguered prime minister, can survive in office.
Under investigation for corruption and with his approval ratings at an all-time low, Olmert is facing increasing public pressure to quit.
Things could get even worse for him if the Winograd Commission, which is investigating last summer's war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, is critical of his role when it presents preliminary findings at the end of the month.
But Olmert is a tough customer unlikely to resign of his own accord. And the way the Israeli system works, it could be difficult to force him out.
The fact that Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz

chose to resign clearly marks last summer's war in Lebanon as a failure. And the fact that he has already gone puts the Winograd spotlight on those up the line -- Defense Minister Amir Peretz and Olmert himself.
The Winograd mandate includes asking the big questions: Why did the prime minister decide to go to war so hastily, just hours after the ostensible casus belli, the abduction of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah along the border with Lebanon? Why didn't Olmert pressure the army to launch a major ground strike much earlier in the campaign to stop rocket fire on Israeli civilians? And why didn't the government do more to move civilians out of the line of fire?
According to Yoel Marcus, the doyen of Israeli political analysts, the perceivedproven against Olmert, the accumulation of corruption scandals involving him or close members of his administration has eroded public confidence in the prime minister. Olmert is being investigated on suspicion of rigging a tender for the sale of Bank Leumi, Israel's second largest bank, when he was finance minister in 2005-06.
Olmert says the changes he made were to maximize state profits from the sale. The prosecution has ordered the police to investigate whether the changes were meant to help his billionaire friends, American S. Daniel Abraham and Australian Frank Lowy -- although in the end they did not make a bid.
Olmert also is suspected of giving preference at the Investment Center to clients of a former law partner and of making dozens of political appointments in the Small

Business Center when he was minister of industry and trade in 2003-05.
He also has been tainted by suspicions of corruption by association: His close friend, Finance Minister Avraham Hirschson, is suspected of involvement in a sick-fund scam, and his longtime secretary, Shula Zaken, is suspected of helping to appoint cronies to the National Tax Authority in return for tax reductions for pals.
Even if Olmert is innocent, critics say he won't be able to govern because he'll be too busy trying to clear his name.
Olmert also is under fire for a perceived lack of political leadership. He says he doesn't have the political power to make major diplomatic moves, but critics say he doesn't seem to have an agenda for peacemaking with the Palestinians or the Syrians, or anyAccused War Criminal Dragan Vasiljkovic – Callous Manipulator

Fighting the Croatian extradition application to Australia for 11 years he was no doubt in a position to prepare his defence to some detail and studied every word in the witness statements presented to Croatia’s public prosecution with frantic fervour.

is another factor at play: fatigue. In most leagues around the world, teams play one game a week, typically on the weekend. Midweek games are known to pose significant endurance challenges that lead to backups getting starts. In Brazil, teams are playing every four to five days in a climate hotter than most of them are used to, so it only heightens the impact of fatigue. For example, Algeria tired noticeably late in their loss Monday to Germany, and it probably cost them the game.
Expect more of the same Tuesday. The U.S. will play Belgium in Salvador, located in the northeastern state of Bahia. As a rule, the farther north you go in Brazil, the closer to the Equator you are and the hotter it gets. Meanwhile, Argentinaplays Switzerland in Sao Paolo, where the temperature won't be as stifling as the Swiss tendency to focus on defense first, last and always, particularly after their open play against France in the group stage led to a 5-2 blowout loss.
An American referee in Brazil
American referee Mark Geiger has drawn praise during this World Cup for his officiating in two group stage games. As a result, the former high school teacher from New Jersey earned the right to be the first American lead official in a knockout stage game, running the show for Nigeria-France.
As it turns out, he called a loose game, as he often does in Major League Soccer, letting the teams play and stepping in only when necessary. This often draws criticism in MLS, as the

American game is much more physical than the styles common in Spain, Chile and Colombia, three of the four teams playing in Geiger's first two World Cup games.
The second was a mistimed tackle by France's Blaise Matuidi on Nigeria's Ogenyi Onazi that appeared to have broken Onazi's ankle. Geiger gave Matuidi a yellow card rather than eject him. It was in fact a brutal tackle, as the GIF below shows, but Matuidi never left his feet to make it. The yellow was justified. Sometimes, guys get hurt in sports.
That said, the controversy probably hurts Geiger's chances of getting another game in charge at the World Cup. Even if he made the right calls, Americans seldom get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to international soccer. Sorryto say, it's just the way it is.
Player of the day: Manuel Neuer, Germany. With his back line exposed, Neuer cleaned up mess after mess much farther away from his net than any goalkeeper wants to be. His play staved off a potential Algeria upset.
U.S. injury news of the day: U.S. striker Jozy Altidore will be available to play for the first time since a hamstring injury knocked him out of his team's first World Cup game after less than 20 minutes. The U.S. will need him Tuesday against Belgium, one of the most talented squads left in the tourney.

On Tuesday, fighters allied with the pro-secession Southern Transitional Council (STC) surrounded the presidential palace in Aden, the seat of the internationally recognised government of Yemen. Their presence has forced the prime minister to prepare to flee, and demonstrates that the unlikely bond between the two in their fight against Houthi rebels has come to an end.
Last month, there was a similar break in another unlikely alliance, albeit on the other side of the conflict in the rebel-held north.

Pettis moved out of the rental property the following day, and
according to Beatty, he left furniture and trash on the lawn, which required her to
rent a dumpster. Judge Elum later called Beatty on two occasions—purportedly to
inquire whether the matter was resolved and to inform her that he had not heard
from her lawyer. Beatty, however, did not return the judge’s phone calls. Beatty
was surprised and intimidated by Judge Elum’s initial phone call and felt bullied in
light of the fact that he was a judge. She later filed the grievance that initiated this
disciplinary action.
{¶ 7} Since then, Judge Elum has admitted that calling Beatty was a
mistake, that he should not have injected himself into a dispute that was not on his
docket, and thatvehicle, the judge conducted an
inquisition of them in his courtroom and threatened to contact their employer about
their driving habits. We found that the judge “misused the authority of his judicial
office in an attempt to achieve his personal goal of reprimanding persons he
believed were guilty of reckless driving,” and we sanctioned him with a stayed six-
month suspension. Hoague at 323-324.

A play based on the San Bernardino terrorist attack was scrapped after the families of the victims expressed anger that a local college would profit off it.
San Bernardino Valley College had plans to create a play about the terror attack called "S.B. Strong." But the show was thrown out after relatives of the victims said the school would profit off the deaths of their loved ones.
The president of the college released a statement announcing the play's cancellation and apologizing for any pain it may have caused.Donald Trump's spokesman has denied that the US president refused to shake hands with German Chancellor Angela Merkel as they say side-by-side in the White House last week.
"I don't think he heard the question" posed by Merkel when she suggested they shake hands, in full view of press cameras, spokesman Sean Spicer told German weekly Der Spiegel published Sunday.
But Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper said that was "improbable", saying that throughout the meeting, Trump did not once look Merkel in the eye.
The pair did shake hands between podiums in a joint news conference during the visit.
The veteran German chancellor had arrived for her first meeting with Trump at a snowy White House hoping to reverse a chill in relations after Trump's incendiary election rhetoric, in which he called Merkel's

acceptance of refugees a "catastrophic mistake" and suggested she was "ruining Germany."
The visit on Friday began cordially, with the pair shaking hands at the entrance of the White House. But later, sitting side-by-side in the Oval Office, Merkel's suggestion of another handshake went unheard or ignored by Trump – an awkward moment in what are usually highly scripted occasions.
German media pointed to the incident as another marker of the meeting's general icy mood between the cautious German chancellor and impulsive US president.
In a frequently awkward joint press conference in the East Room, Trump and Merkel showed little common ground as they addressed a host of thorny issues including NATO, defense spending and free trade deals.
For most of the 30 minutes, Merkel was stony-faced as Trump ripped into Washington'sthe process.

We see in Figure \[fig:norestrschem\] the meniscus transitions from a very small radius and a very highly curved state to a larger neck with a smaller curvature as the third droplet equilibrates into its final position. The two neck menisci remain distinct, with opposite curvature sign from the middle droplet surface, whereas full coalescence would likely have merged the two menisci and bridged the middle droplet. As a result, here the third droplet does not reorient because of the meniscus expansion, its final angle through the center droplet is quite close to when coalescence began.

This is the official home of "Mafia Animals", a project conceived and executed by Nick Rudnicki.
This whole thing was a logical, albeit extreme, extension of the Animals project that I have been developing for over a year now. Mafia Animals is the elaborate answer to the question : "how far can I take this?"
THE VISION
The tragic story of Sammie the gangster. Having grown jaded and fed-up with his life in the gang, he decides that today is the beginning of the rest of his life. He will betray his brothers by snatching "the case" and run off to start his new and exciting life.
Sadly, life is not that simple.
THE EXECUTION
From initial brain storm to final delivery, this bad boy took 6 months. Securing cast, location, wardrobe, props.generated from renewables grew from less than 7% of New Mexico’s total in 2010 to an estimated 25% in 2018, while coal power has dropped from 71% to 37%.

Environmental Protections – The EMNRD signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the EPA, State Engineer, and the Environment Department to facilitate and promote the reuse and recycling of produced water, a precious commodity in the arid southwest.

the LPL so far, only dropping a match to the also fearsome Royal Never Give Up. In that same vein, SK Telecom T1 has struggled domestically as has Origen, Fnaitc, and TSM. Barring a complete disaster, Qiao Gu should redeem China's end to 2015 and claim the title.
Tournament MVP
Kelsey Moser — SKT's jungler
Regardless of who starts, SKT's jungler has been a pain point for the team. Bengi's effective champion pool seems stunted. Blank has lacked synergy. With the rise of Gragas, the wave could carry SKT's jungler forward, putting him into a position to defy expectations as they take the tournament.
Emily Rand — Bang
Based on my presumption that SK Telecom T1 will take it all, I'm putting my money on Bang. The team has trended towards giving Banghis comfort picks (Lucian, Ezreal, and Kalista) on which he's performed admirably, even when his team has not. Bang currently has the second-highest KDA (6.1), averages the second-highest in CS per minute (9.2) and deals the second-most damage per minute (584) of any AD carry in Korea.
Nicholas Doucet — Peco
He's having a career year as Qiao Gu has played their way to the top this split. He was already great last time we saw Qiao Gu at IEM Cologne, and I expect his performance to once again put him on the international radar as a must-watch player.

other team at this tournament is mid to bottom tier in their respective regions, but QG and Royal top their groups in the LPL. After a disappointing Worlds, China needs to win in Poland or they will become a meme until the Mid-Season Invitational.
The way Chinese teams handle the early game, though, is just weird. QG and Royal have reacted to the current lane swap meta by either freezing multiple lanes at once or actively avoiding it completely by trying to predict blind swaps. Bizarre lane swap tactics could very well be their undoing, keeping China from success at yet another international event — or they can surprise every analyst, including me, by making them work.

bengi is a known entity, and his play style oftentournament's biggest surprise, but a welcome one for North American fans.
Nicholas Doucet — The importance of the pick/ban phase
The biggest surprise of this event will probably not be in the results, but in the details. In this case, it'll be pick/ban phase. The meta has started to become a bit stagnant, but an international tournament tends to shake up expectations with it's melting pot mentality. Counters to Korea's dangerous top Quinn, perhaps an appearance from Jihn. Who knows? That's the fun of it.
Most picked/banned champion
Kelsey Moser — Lulu
With Lulu just generally being annoying, several attending teams bringing proficient Lulu players, and my favorite KOGGLES being as overtuned as he is, Lulu is still ridiculously good. She should probably be removed from the game.

to deserve this? What did we do to deserve being bombed from planes, shot at from tanks, and have phosphorous bombs dropped on us? ….That we wanted to live the way we want, and speak our own language, and make friends with whom we want?”

There is no way to overstate the significance of what has transpired in Ukraine in the last three weeks. What began as a murderous onslaught on the mainly Russian-speaking population of east Ukraine, has turned into a major triumph against a belligerent and expansionistic empire that has been repulsed by a scrappy, battle-hardened militia engaged in a conventional, land-based war. The conflict in east Ukraineexperiment has seriously begun sinking now and that many rats are leaving the ship.
The fact that the demoralized Ukrainian army has been defeated by the superior fighting force is of little importance in the big scheme of things, however, the fact that Washington’s global resource war– which began on 9-11 and has reduced numerous sovereign countries into anarchic, failed states– has been stopped in its tracks, is significant. The so called War on Terror–which was recently rebranded under the ISIS moniker–has wreaked holy havoc and death on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria. By routing the Ukrainian army the Novorussian Armed Forces (NAF) has put the kibosh on Obama’s Great Game strategy in Eurasia and torpedoed Washington’s plan to rule the world by force of arms.

The difference between the peacemakers and the warmongers has rarely been as stark as it is today.
“We are currently witnessing an epic and historic event. The Ukrainian regular army and the punitive battalions are suffering a catastrophic defeat to the south of Donetsk…..It still is not quite clear how the Junta intends to avoid a complete defeat here…. By squandering the most combat-capable brigades in systematic offensive operations, the Junta sustained enormous losses and at the same time suffered a crushing, purely military defeat.

“Determined to preserve the pro-Russian revolt in eastern Ukraine, Russia reinforced what Western and Ukrainian officials described as a stealth invasion on Wednesday, sending armored troops across the border as it expanded the conflict to a new section of Ukrainian territory.
The latest incursion, which Ukraine’s military said included five armored personnel carriers, was at least the third movement of troops and weapons from Russia across the southeast part of the border this week, further blunting the momentum Ukrainian forces have made in weakening the insurgents in their redoubts of Donetsk and Luhansk

In any event, it was the developments in Syria that triggered the frenzied reaction in Ukraine. According to Lehmann:
“The war in Ukraine became predictable (unavoidable?) when the great Muslim Brotherhood Project in Syria failed during the summer of 2012. …In June and July 2012 some 20,000 NATO mercenaries who had been recruited and trained in Libya and then staged in the Jordanian border town Al-Mafraq, launched two massive campaigns aimed at seizing the Syrian city of Aleppo. Both campaigns failed and the ”Libyan Brigade” was literally wiped out by the Syrian Arab Army.
It was after this decisive defeat that Saudi Arabia began a massive campaign for the recruitment of jihadi fighters via the network of the Muslim Brotherhoods evil twin sister Al-Qaeda.
The International Crisis Group responded by publishingin the planes of economic, public relations and politics. All the power of US economic superiority is based on the financial pyramid of debt, and this has gone long beyond sustainability. Its major lenders are collapsing enough to deprive the US market of accumulated US dollars and Treasury bonds. Of course, the collapse of the US financial system will cause serious losses to all holders of US currency and securities. But first, these losses for Russia, Europe and China will be less than the losses caused by American geopolitics unleashing another world war. Secondly, the sooner the exit from the financial obligations of this American pyramid, the less will be the losses. Third, the collapse of the dollar Ponzi scheme gives an opportunity, finally, to reform the global

the US satellite. It was also Russia that came up with the photographic evidence that showed Kiev had deployed anti-air missile systems (BUK) around the area where flight MH17 was downed. The Kiev government has repeatedly denied claims that it had BUK systems in the area, but on Friday, Russian military analysts released satellite images that made mincemeat of those denials. Here’s the story from RT:
“Satellite images Kiev published as ‘proof’ it didn’t deploy anti-aircraft batteries around the MH17 crash site carry altered time-stamps and are from days after the MH17 tragedy, the Russian Defense Ministry has revealed.

Farmers dashed to the village, afraid it would be engulfed by an inferno. Hrabove Mayor Vladimir Berezhnoi screamed at drivers and motorcyclists to get off the road as fire rolled across a field. When he saw bodies, Mr. Berezhnoi yelled at adults to take their children home.

“In this war, the German Rothschild’s loan money to the Germans, the British Rothschilds loan money to the British, and the French Rothschilds loan money to the French. Furthermore, the Rothschilds have control of the three European news agencies, Wolff (est. 1849) in Germany, Reuters (est. 1851) in England, and Havas (est. 1835) in France. The Rothschilds use Wolff to manipulate the German people into a fervor for war. From around this time, the Rothschilds are rarely reported in the media, because they own the media.”
The video, World War 1, What Happened?, explains in the most fundamental manner, The Role of the Jews in WWI summarized by Benjamin H. Freedman. “The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain’s promise to pay the Zionists what they had agreedupon as a consideration for getting the United States into the war.”
“In America, J.P. Morgan was the sales agent for war materials to both the British and the French.
In fact, six months into the war, Morgan became the largest consumer on earth, spending $10 million a day.
Other Rothschild allies in the United States made out as well from the war. President Wilson appointed Bernard Baruch to head the War Industries Board. According to historian James Perloff, both Baruch and the Rockefellers profited by some $200 million during the war.”

a result of four years of war and global devastation, ‘the national debts of the world have increased by $210,000,000,000 or about 475% in the last six years, and as a natural consequence, the variety of government bonds and the number of investors in them have been greatly multiplied.’ These results have made themselves manifest in all the investment markets of the world but nowhere, perhaps, in greater measure than in the United States.”
“It may be noted that in 1913 the US government budget was a mere $714,000,000 (714 million dollars) while the Rockefeller empire was worth 950 million dollars in 1913. The Rockefeller and Morgan empires were built through financing by the Rothschild banking family.”
Such financial manipulation deserves an honest evaluation, as Brother Nathaniel offers, in hissummary of the Benjamin H. Freedman viewpoint in the article, Jews Blackmailed Wilson Into WW I.
“Not a shot had been fired on German soil yet Germany was offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers call a status quo ante basis, which means: “Let’s call the war off and let everything be as it was before the war started.”
England, in the summer of 1916, was considering Germany’s peace terms. They had no choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was offering them or going on with the war and being totally defeated.
While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, led by the Jew, Chaim Weitzman, who later became the 1st President of Israel, went to the British War

Wilson, while President, was very close to the Jews. His administration, as everyone knows, was predominantly Jewish.”22 Wilson seems to have been the first president to have the full backing of the Jewish Lobby, including multiple major financial donors. And he was the first to fully reward their support.”
Today, such writings often criticized as anti-Semitic, present a viewpoint that is acknowledged by the Jewish Writer, Oscar Levy, The World Significance of the Russian Revolution; The International Jew, Vol. III, 1921, p. 184-87. The site, The Evil of Zionism Exposed by Jews, quotes Mr. Levy.
“There is scarcely an event in modern history that cannot be traced to the Jews. Take the Great War (World War I)…the Jews have made this war! … We (Jews) who have posed as therise to the temple of Totalitarian Collectivism. The only GREAT WAR is the battle to defeat the demon forces that want to impose a Luciferian rule upon the planet. Wars kill citizens, while usury destroys societies.Few people know, much less, understand the essential lesson of World War I. The entire last century needs interpreting and evaluation through the lenses of the eternal struggle. Ignorance is bliss for most people, but faulty history is much more dangerous.

Newly registered visually handicapped patients at the Tokyo Metropolitan Rehabilitation Center for the Physically and Mentally Handicapped were studied in 1968 (when the facility was opened), 1978, and 1988. Examinations were carried out by the same physicians and diagnoses were made by uniform criteria. Since approximately 10% of the total population of Japan lives in Tokyo, the statistics on the causes of visual handicaps in this area deserve to be reported. The changes observed over the past twenty years are as follows: There were few changes in the percentages of high myopia, retinal degeneration and senile cataract.

As well as this, the LGBT Partnership website was launched, giving more around the county the option to find information about what we do, as well groups within the Partnership.
Throughout 2018, the Partnership focused on making more connections and having greater visibility in the community, reaching beyond Cheltenham, into Gloucestershire and surrounding counties. There was a larger presence at events, such as the University's Freshers' Fayre, as well as several nearby colleges as an chance for young people to talk more about LGBT+ matters.
Come the end of 2018, the Partnership had over 20 member orgnastions and had formed a strong relation with newly-openedSober Parrot in Cheltenham, where they now have monthly coffee socials.
2019
In 2019, the Partnership expanded it's attendance at a number of events, ranging from Pride On Tour, Cheltenham Midsummer Fiesta, Freshers' fayres and community events. With this new members and partners have joined, such as Gloucester Lesbifriends, Inclusive Church, Trans Gloucester and The Eddystone Trust, and many others!
There was a greater focus on asking what the LGBT+ community was needing in the area - better access to healthcare was one of the big things that came up on our radar. We partnered with Healthwatch Gloucestershire who ran a number of sessions and opportunities for feedback.

foreign policy in recent years that has been criticized by opponents as being over ambitious and even neo-Ottoman.
Other names who received limited support included former transport minister Binali Yildirim and Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu, Yeni Safak added.
The paper said some senior lawmakers had been unwilling to support Davutoglu as they themselves were barred from running owing to an AKP internal rule that proscribes more than three terms in office.
But "Davutoglu has met some of these lawmakers who eventually extended their support to him and now it is almost certain that he will be the new prime minister," it added.
The government is on the brink of a major reshuffle as Erdogan prepares to step down as prime minister and move to the presidency following his victory in August 10in a series of attempts to crash the Resistance. He assured it was a real war that had major goals and dimensions on the different levels, also repercussions on the entire region.
Delivering a speech on al-Manar TV on the 8th memory of the July 2006 Divine Victory, Sayyed Nasrallah saluted the souls of the martyrs who belong to the Resistance, the Lebanese army, the security forces, the civil defense and the media. He also greeted the wounded and the families who were partakers in the victory, as they stood unwavering in face of the "Israeli" aggression.
Sayyed Nasrallah mentioned in particular maryr Ibrahim al-Hajj, who was a major pillar in the Aita al-Shaab battles for 33 days during the Zionist aggression.
He further thanked Syria and Iran for helping in

this victory.
Also saluting the late leaders of the Resistance, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas Moussawi, Haj Imad Moghnieh, and absented Imam Moussa Sadr, Sayyed Nasrallah assured that if it were not for these leaders who established the Resistance movement, all the victories would not have been achieved.
July War Aim: Eliminating the Resistance
The Resistance leader pointed out that the July war was a main part of a bigger plot to give birth to a "New Middle East".
"A lot has been said about the July war, lectures were given and books were written to discuss it... This war remained a case study because it was a real war with political and historical dimensions which transcend Lebanon and Palestine to influence the entire region. And here, we must recall former U.S.Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's statement on this war producing a new Middle East," he stated.
The Resistance leader accentuated that the July war turned out to be part of a scheme that aimed at annihilating the resistance in Lebanon, not disarm it only. "
After ending the war on Lebanon, "Israel" continued its plan by attacking Syria with the aim of creating a new regime allied with the U.S.," he explained, adding "The third part of this plan was attacking the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and this was to be achieved before the end of 2006."
Sayyed Nasrallah noted that the two goals behind this plan are: the U.S. would take control of all oil and gas fields in the region and the second is that it would draw an

end to the Palestinian cause and impose a settlement on Palestinians and Arabs.
According to Sayyed Nasrallah, the plan which included direct American occupation, an "Israeli" war aimed at attacking the resistance in Lebanon, then attacking Syria and ending the resistance in Palestine was obstructed thanks to the resistance in Lebanon the fabulous Lebanese resilience through the July war victory.
"The steadfast of the Resistance, also the political and popular resilience forced the Americans, "Israelis", Europeans, and the UN Council to withdraw most of their conditions since the very first days of war. Meanwhile, the Resistance was glorified in Lebanon, the "Israeli" war did not reach Syria and the war on Gaza was postponed from 2006 until 2008. Not only that but also the Iraqi resistance gained momentum and expelledthe U.S. occupation from Iraq," he elaborated.
Yet, Sayyed Nasrallah assured this does not imply the U.S. has failed to achieve its goals but rather changed its path. "We must follow up on their paths to topple the American-Zionist plan for the region," he stated.
The Hizbullah SG highlighted that this war has failed, and assured that the region -amid all dangers- that it is still able to face these dangers and able to overthrow any projects in the region.
New Project for the Region: "Israel" & ISIL
Sayyed Nasrallah said what is happening today in Gaza is part of a new path for the region and in light of new developments, which in fact has the same goals of an "Israeli" control over the region's oil fields.

for the region, according to Sayyed Nasrallah has two factors.
"The new project is more difficult and dangerous from the previous one, because it does not aim at overthrowing regimes and replacing them with new ones, because in this case the country and the army remain the same while the authority changes only. The new project, meanwhile, is that of destruction, of destroying countries and armies, people, and entities."
He added
"This new project aims at setting up a new map for the region in which the enemy becomes the savor. The first factor is the "Israelis" who aim at eliminating the resistance, while the second factor is the so-called Takfiri movement, of which ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Daesh] is a clear example."
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed
"I tell all theHe also stated that in the early 20th century, when the Zionist entity established its presence on Occupied Palestine, people did not recognize it is a real and existential threat, noting they should be aware to the similar situation today.
He accentuated that ISIL today is a real threat to the region.
"I want to tell the Lebanese and all the people of the region that we have to put all differences aside because these is a real danger threatening your entities, churches, mosques, kids and women."
He clarified.
"The so-called ISIL is a group that has now taken control of large geographical areas in Syria and Iraq and has taken control of resource fields and main water dams. It has huge quantities of weapons and ammunition and is selling oil. It

TAMPA — Had Billy McKinney not been taken by the A’s with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2013 draft, the Yankees were poised to take the left-handed-hitting outfielder from Plano West Senior High School in Texas.
With McKinney gone, the Yankees used the 26th pick to select Notre Dame third baseman Eric Jagielo. He was part of the deal with the Reds that landed Aroldis Chapman. McKinney came to the Yankees in July, when the Yankees sent Chapman to the Cubs in a trade that was highlighted by shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres.
McKinney, 22, wasn’t originally invited to big league camp, but when Mason Williams and Tyler Austin were injured, McKinney was summoned.
On Sunday, the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder swatted a home run in the Yankees’ 7-2 victoryThe earth was 1500 years old when God decided to destroy man because he had filled it with corruption,violence and evil. Rebellious angels, leaving their place in heaven(Jude 1:6),were breeding with human women creating spawn of rebellious supernatural beings. Needless to say this caused quite a mess. Genesis 6:5&6 describes it this way: 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.Gen 6:8 says,“But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” He was considered blameless by God in this world filled with corruption and when wrath

While Game 1 of the Penguins-Flyers series is officially set for Wednesday, the rest of the series will be determined by the result in tonight's final regular-season game between Boston and Florida.
Should the Bruins win tonight, Game 2 of the Penguins-Flyers series will be on Saturday, April 14 at 8:00 PM at PPG Paints Arena.
If the Panthers win, Game 2 of the Penguins-Flyers series will be this Friday, April 13, at 7:00 PM at PPG Paints Arena.

the younger kids, for example, want to work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays," he said. "The flexibility around the workplace agreement not only suits our business but also suits the individual." Josh Cullinan, secretary of the newly formed Retail and Fast Food Workers Union, said Bakers Delight's outdated Victorian agreement was yet another "shocking" example of large-scale deals that have left hundreds of thousands of workers underpaid, saving big businesses millions every year.
Three of Australia's biggest employers – McDonald's, Coles and Woolworths – pay significant numbers of workers less than the award, mostly through reduced or absent weekend penalty rates, it has been revealed. "Bakers Delight's Victorian agreement is simple wage theft, it's abominable, and this is from a company that almost exclusively uses young women from 14mathematics through the prism of geometry. Numbers represented geometrically defined quantities such as lengths, areas or volumes, and the manipulation of numbers was primarily through geometrical constructions.
The manipulation of numbers as pure quantities derives not from the Greeks but from the Indic and Arabic cultures. The name algebra eventually given to the discipline that codifies and axiomatizes the rules for these manipulations derives from the title of the book Al-Jabr published in the ninth century by the Muslim mathematician Al-Khwarizmi.
Modern mathematics owes to the Indic-Arabic cultures at least two outstanding contributions. The first is the highly flexible number system based on positional or place value, which uses only a finite number of ciphers (digits) to give a unique numeral (name) for each member of the infinite set Nof

homage to two men who played the game the way they wish everyone would play it.

a pretty good investment for me over the last four years ... There haven't been that many that have done this well.
Brayan says the investment in machine learning will help make the company more efficient and allow it to take on more work. Jessica Hromas
"The only issue to consider is the valuation and at around the $14-$15 it is pushing it a bit."
Origins
The company's origins trace back to 1996 in the spare room of Dr Julie and Chris Vonwiller's Gordon home in Sydney's upper north shore. Julie had been a linguist at The University of Sydney and left to start her own automated speech recognition start-up.
Chris, an engineer with Telstra who had been the managing director of the telco's multimedia division and the first chairman of Telstra Bigpond,joined Appen full-time in 1999.
The company won tech companies like Nuance, Philips, Siemens and Toshiba as clients in its early years and then in 2009 private equity came knocking.
Jeremy Samuel's Anacacia Capital bought a 57 per cent stake in the business for an undisclosed sum and shortly afterwards in April 2010, Chris Vonwiller stepped aside as chief executive and the company appointed Bill Pulver to the top job. Pulver had previously been the president of online ratings agency NetRatings, and would go onto become the boss of the Australian Rugby Union – a position he held until mid-last year.
"We saw in Appen ... the need for data for speech recognition for major tech companies and later content relevance for search and social media," Samuel says.

in 2011 when Appen acquired US company Butler Hill, which had been focused on the search relevance market. With it came Appen's first mega tech client, Microsoft.
Pulver says the business started growing "in an incredible way" after the deal.
"For me, [joining Appen] was a real jump outside my comfort zone, but it was a really interesting space," he says. "We've tapped into a wonderful vein of opportunity with these smart people who want to work from home and it's been a society change that's aligned well with our clients and what we do."
Pulver, who remains on the Appen board, is also an investor in the company and in 2018 he made about $9.8 million from the sale of 800,495 shares. His remaining stake of just under 1 persubstantial, Brayan says he doesn't pay much attention to the share price and he's more focused on delivering sustainable growth – something investors have come to expect, with the company issuing regular earnings upgrades.
Appen has forecast earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the full year of between $62 million and $65 million.
The vast majority of the company's revenue is generated in the US, but it has recently started pushing more aggressively into China, which Brayan believes will soon overtake the US as the biggest market for AI in the world.
While Appen's footprint in the region is currently small, building up its presence is one of Brayan's key priorities for 2019. However, he is cautious that the market has a unique regulatory market and way of doing

franchisee of Huddle House, Inc., requested that Shipman service the air-conditioning system at the East Meighan Boulevard Huddle House restaurant operated by Jones Food in Gadsden.
Jones Food took possession of the restaurant site under a September 1995 lease with Doyle Denson, the property owner. An Omelette Shoppe breakfast restaurant operated out of the one-story restaurant building before Jones Food began operating *357 the Huddle House restaurant there. In October 1995 a contractor hired by Jones Food renovated the restaurant. The roof was about 9.5 feet above the ground and flat; it was surrounded by a facade on all four sides that extended approximately three feet above the flat roof and enclosed the rooftop improvements. The facade sloped inward at an angle of approximately 45°. The HVAC system wasone of the improvements enclosed by the facade. The above-ground modifications included in Jones Food's renovation of the restaurant were the installation of "Huddle House" signs on the facade on three sides of the building, the installation of new electrical wiring for those signs, the installation of new ducts and returns on the air-conditioning units, the installation of an exhaust duct through the roof, and the placement of new refrigerator lines between the service-level and rooftop compressors (collectively "the roof renovations"). The contractor also sealed those areas on the roof where the roof had been cut for the new ducts, the exhaust system, and the refrigeration lines. Jones Food did not alter the roofline or the slope or design of the surrounding facade after it leased the restaurant.

and Thomas McKinney, his helper, responded to the March 1998 service call from Jones Food. While Shipman had not previously serviced the HVAC system at the restaurant, he had performed similar service for Jones Food at its other Huddle House restaurant locations. Shipman and McKinney decided to use a 20-foot, portable extension ladder, which they placed at the back of the restaurant, to climb over the facade and access the HVAC system. Safety precautions on that ladder warned against positioning it at less than a 75° angle to the ground. An "L" diagram on the ladder illustrated the proper angle at which the ladder should be positioned before climbing. Because the facade sloped inward at approximately 45°, had the ladder been positioned and extended at the 75° anglewhile Shipman climbed. When Shipman neared the top of the facade, McKinney repositioned himself so Shipman could move off the ladder and climb over the facade onto the flat portion of the roof. When McKinney changed his position, he continued to hold onto a rung of *358 the ladder with one hand. However, as Shipman prepared to move off the ladder, its footings kicked out, and Shipman fell to the paved surface below.
In February 2000, Shipman sued Jones Food seeking damages for medical expenses, lost earnings, and personal injuries (including permanent disability to his right leg) that had resulted from the accident. Kathy Shipman, his spouse, also sued Jones Food seeking damages for loss of consortium.[1] The principal claims by the Shipmans were that Jones Food had negligently,

for "general repairs to [convert] the old [Omelette Shoppe] to a Huddle House." After the contractor finished the renovations, Harbison visually inspected the main level of the restaurant to assure that conditions were safe for the general public. Harbison did not inspect the roof at that time. Harbison testified that, other than the installation of new Huddle House signs on the facade and the associated wiring, he was not aware that the contractor had worked on the roof. After Harbison's inspection, the City issued to Jones Food a certificate of occupancy "in accordance with the laws, ordinances and regulations of the Building Department of the City of Gadsden." At no time did Harbison or any other City official direct Jones Food or the owner of the premises tothe building at the recommended 75° angle, or (d) had a man-lift or other similar device available by which workers could access the roof. Carlysle testified that the use of a permanent ladder would have been the least expensive approach for Jones Food to satisfy the accessibility requirement of the codes. Such a permanent ladder had been installed at another of Jones Food's Huddle House locations.
Considerable testimony was offered at trial concerning Shipman's decision to place his ladder at the same slope as the facade. Shipman testified that he noticed the 45° slope of the facade before to the accident, but he did not sense anything risky about the method he and McKinney used to ascend to the roof nor did he observe any open and obvious danger

associated with the roof. Tony Jones testified that, on approximately eight occasions before the accident, he and another representative of Jones Food had accessed the roof by placing a portable ladder along the slope of the facade. According to Jones, on some of those occasions, the ladder was secured at the bottom, but on others it was not. On some of those occasions, one Jones Food worker held the portable ladder steady against the facade while the other climbed, but Jones testified that he climbed several times while the ladder was not secured at the bottom and was not being held. Jones testified that he did not consider it unreasonably dangerous to climb a ladder that was aligned along the slope of the facade of the building andon the roof of the defendant's residence. The plaintiff placed a portable ladder against the metal gutter of that residence, climbed to the roof, and performed the service. As the plaintiff began his descent, he stepped on the top of the ladder, and it slid out from under him; he suffered personal injuries when he fell to the ground. Quillen, 388 So.2d at 987. The Quillen Court held that, as a matter of law, the defendant/invitor did not owe a duty to the plaintiff/invitee:
"The entire basis of an invitor's liability rests upon his superior knowledge of the danger which causes the invitee's injuries. Therefore, if that superior knowledge is lacking, as when the danger is obvious, the invitor cannot be held liable.

Food representative had recommended that Shipman use the particular ladder that he chose to use. No Jones Food representative had told Shipman to position his ladder against the building at the rear of the restaurant at the angle of the facade, nor had any Jones Food representative otherwise given Shipman any instruction as to how he should access the HVAC system.
Shipman remained on the ground and held the ladder as McKinney climbed onto the roof. When McKinney reached the top of the facade, he stepped over it, stood on the roof, and held the top of the ladder while Shipman climbed to the roof. When Shipman neared the top of the facade, McKinney repositioned himself so that Shipman could climb over the facade and onto the roof. AsMcKinney changed his position, he continued to hold the ladder with one hand; however, as Shipman prepared to step over the facade, the foot of the ladder slipped and Shipman fell to the ground.
Shipman sued Jones Food, seeking damages for medical expenses, lost earnings, and personal injuries (including permanent disability to his right leg) that resulted from the accident. Kathy Shipman, Shipman's spouse, also asserted a claim of loss of consortium. The principal claims by the Shipmans were that Jones Food had negligently, recklessly, and wantonly failed (1) to warn Shipman of the danger of the roof, and (2) to repair and maintain the roof area free of defects with railings or to provide a means of access to the roof other than a portable ladder.

asserted the affirmative defenses of contributory negligence and assumption of the risk.
On the day of Shipman's accident, a customer, Calvin McCoy, was inside the restaurant. As McCoy left the restaurant, he noticed McKinney on the roof and saw a ladder leaning against the building. Before Shipman fell, McCoy told him that an employee of another HVAC contractor had fallen from the roof and that another contractor had braced the bottom of the ladder against the tire of a truck in order to secure it.
Shipman testified that he had noticed the 45-degree slope of the facade before the accident, but that he did not think there was anything risky about the method he and McKinney used to access the roof, nor did he observe any open and obvious dangerassociated with the roof.

The film will open in Japan on November 10. Funimation will debut the film in theaters in 2019.
For the first time in the Eureka Seven franchise, the film will be set in Tokyo.The film centers on Anemone, a girl who lost her father in a battle in Toyko seven years prior to the film's story, leaving her with only her stuffed toy Gulliver, and the AI concierge Dominikids for emotional support. Now she is a key part of a strategy by the experimental unit "Acid" to combat the seventh Eureka, "Eureka Seven," an enemy of humanity that has killed 2.6 billion people. Driven to the brink, all of humanity entrusts its hope to Anemone as she dives deep into the interior of Eureka Seven.

designers. Kenta Yokoya is now credited as mechanical animation director and design works, while previous mechanical animation director Shingo Abe is now credited as one of the main animators, alongside Hideki Kakita, Shuichi Kaneko, Ken Ootsuka, and Nobuaki Nagano.
The "Nirvash X" mecha will appear in the film. Shoji Kawamori ( Macross , Last Hope ) designed this new version of the franchise's main mecha, and it is the largest of its kind in the franchise's history.
The first film in the trilogy opened on 107 screens in Japan last September, after making its worldwide debut at Otakon last August. In its first two days, it earned about 63 million yen (about US$561,137). Funimation screened the film in theaters in the United States on February 5 and 7, with screeningsin Japanese with English subtitles, and with an English dub.
The first film showed more of The First Summer of Love phenomenon that occurred a decade before the first Eureka Seven series. Before the first film debuted, the anime franchise thus far has hinted at, but never depicted in full, "the beginning of it all." The films then have the same basic story as the first Eureka Seven series, but will have an original ending. The trilogy has completely re-recorded lines, redone footage, and new scenes.
The third film is slated to open in 2019.
For the Japanese version of the first film, Yuko Sanpei, Kaori Nazuka, Kouji Tsujitani, Michiko Neya, Juurouta Kosugi, and Aya Hisakawa all returned from the original anime as their characters Renton, Eureka, Dewey, Talho, Charles, and

Jack's house looks nice and peaceful, however, if you could pan back a bit, you'd see that this little oasis is surrounded by miles of lava. Some time ago, Kiluea threw the residents of Jack's subdivision a curve ball and lava started spewing from a new vent, sending countless tons of molten lava right through the subdivision, destroying all the homes except Jack's. As beautiful as it looks, Jack is cut off from the world; no utilities, no road and a 3 1/2 mile hike across the razor sharp lava fields to where he parks his car to go to townfor supplies. His home has a small generator to power his television, a few lights and his satellite dish and small bottles of propane gas to cook with.
The end of the road for Jack
After spending 20 minutes on the ground with Jack, we hopped back into the Hugh's helicopter while Joyce revved it up. Just when the rotors started spinning, a buzzer sounded and Joyce wound it down. Three tries later, she announced that it was here first day in this chopper (something I really didn't need to know) and we were grounded with a broken helicopter. I got out and asked Jack for a pair of jumper cables and just as quick he replied that he had cables, but his car was 3 1/2 miles away. I

in 1931. But it was only after the Mexican revolution in 1920 that cannabis really took a hold of American culture. Those who jumped the border brought with them the tradition of cannabis use, and thus it began to spread.
What was Mail-Order Cannabis Used for?
In 1910, the book “Therapeutics, Materia Medica and Pharmacy” hit book stores. In the pre-Prohibition times of its publication, the book recommended medicinal cannabis for a whole host of ailments.
Some of the treatable conditions in the book were things such as paralysis, impotence, and delirium. While these may sound somewhat bizarre to us in modern times, many other conditions treated at the time do not. Examples include insomnia, epilepsy, and pain relief. And now, a century later, officials still bicker over whether cannabis shoulddepression, restlessness, fever, excessive salivation, and painful spasms.
A case from the British Medical Journal (1881) described how a 5-year-old-boy received a cannabis treatment one month after contracting rabies. At the time of treatment, the child was experiencing severe convulsions, fever, and delirium. According to the study, he made a full recovery in nine days after receiving treatment with “a tincture of cannabis indica”.
Cough Syrup
Perhaps the most well-known use of cannabis as a medicine in days gone by was as cough syrup.
Modern-day cough medicine bears little resemblance to what was available in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These days, cough medicine often contains a chemical called dextromethorphan. Its primary mechanism of action is to suppress the signal sent by the brain to provoke coughing. Back in those days

while City are IVAN DRAGO.
Liverpool finished in 4th place, 25 (TWENTY-FIVE) points behind Manchester City. The same place as the previous season. On 26 May we lost the European Cup Final. As we trudged away from that nightmare loss and the horror show put on by our keeper, there did not seem to be much reason for optimism that we could close the massive gap with City this season. So, how have we managed to bounce back to be contenders for the title?
Shortly after the final a video emerged of Klopp singing and dancing with supporters. He sang along with them about Madrid having all the luck, but the mood was a positive one. Appreciating what had been achieved and looking forward to see how to take thenext big step up. Liverpool fans reacted in the same way. Disappointment was followed by determination and defiance. Allez, Allez, ALLEZ!
Anyone who follows Liverpool closely knows that since Klopp took over we have progressed in leaps and bounds from the dismal decline that marked the end of the Brendan Rodgers era. Fans could see the improvements in the team. Where once we had a forward line of Balotelli, Benteke and Lambert, now we have Firmino, Mane and Salah! Problem areas have gradually been fixed and the overall quality and depth of the squad has been improved. It was this progress that meant that, when we lost to Real Madrid, we knew that this was just another part of the journey. A bump in the road to the glorious

Outside the U.S., recent attacks that have resulted in terrorism charges include the November 2015 Islamic State attacks in Paris, which killed 130, and the 2011 rampage by Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, a neo-Nazi who gunned down 77 people in 2011.
Ahead of Monday’s shootings, Randall Law, who wrote “Terrorism: A History,” said he believed there is a racial component to the United States’ reluctance to clarify or prosecute with domestic terror laws.
Many Americans, he said, think only “people with foreign names ... and people with dark skin funding foreign ideologies” would commit such horrific acts.

However, that fee still falls short of the British record £90-million price the Foxes have placed on the Algeria winger.
Burt adds that Mahrez is "desperate" to leave Leicester in the January window, having reportedly submitted another transfer request to try and force a move to Manchester City. Burt reports that City previously failed to pry Mahrez out of the King Power Stadium with bids of around £50 million and £55 million.

With two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract, Mahrez reportedly feels upset that he has not been allowed to move to a bigger club despite the fact that his teammates N'Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater were afforded moves to Chelsea.
City's interest in Mahrez was seemingly born after an injury to winger Leroy Sane, who's been ruled out for the next six weeks with an ankle issue.

The Anodorhynchus genus includes three species: Hyacinth Macaw,Lear's Macaw and Glaucous Macaw. They are characterised by blue body plumage, a very long tail and large strong beak. With a length of approx. 100 cm, the Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot species in the world.
Anodorhynchus are native to South America: Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina.
All three species are threatened according to [IUCN] due to hunting, trapping and habitat degradation; they are listed on CITES Appendix I and II and protected by local laws.
Glaucous Macaw was believed to be Extinct but has been listed as Critically Endangered since 2000; however the population is estimated to be less than 50 birds.
Hyacinth Macaw was previously listed as Endangered but was now downgraded to Vulnerable in 2014.

and between the chamber and the second die. The pressure in the coating material decreases from an exit orifice of the first die to the free surface and increases from within the chamber to a location prior to an exit orifice of the second die. Coating material is flowed into the chamber at a pressure which sufficiently enhances the pressure gradient between the portions of the first die to cause air bubbles on the elongated material to be stripped. The introduction of the coating material into the chamber also establishes a volumetric flow of the coating material from the chamber into the reservoir. This is effective to cause the bubbles to be removed and causes the coating material in the chamber and on the coated elongated material toThe X-Men Cede to Special Effects As the Franchise Faces an Absurd Apocalypse
X-Men: Apocalypse may not be the best of the supermutant action series, but it's certainly the most ... well, apocalyptic. A wrathful god (Oscar Isaac) rises from a multimillennial coma, takes one look at the world circa 1983 and decides it must be "cleansed." Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Holocaust survivor and longtime X-Men antagonist, has taken refuge in Poland, where he's betrayed by his countrymen and engages in the highly ritualized destruction of Auschwitz. Righteously embittered Magneto allies himself with Isaac's mutant deity--unsurprisingly named Apocalypse--and his "four horsemen," a concept taken from the Bible, someone notes. "Or the Bible got it from him," warns Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne), suggesting that the Book of Revelation might have been

Public Invited to Attend Community Meeting on Potomac Yard Replacement Fields at 600 East Monroe Ave.
The public is invited to attend a community meeting for a project update on the approved replacement fields’ plan for Potomac Yard located at 600 East Monroe Ave. (adjacent to Simpson Park). The meeting will be held on Thursday, July 22, at 7 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Recreation Center, 2701 Commonwealth Avenue.
City staff and the developer will address recent public comments and answer questions on the project.
Persons who are unable to attend the community meeting can send written comments to the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, Attention: Roger Blakeley, 1108 Jefferson St., Alexandria, VA 22314, or e-mail roger.blakeley@alexandriava.gov.
The City of Alexandria is committed to compliance with thesuspects, committing genocide, attempting to kill a former U.S. president, and so on. Hillary Clinton should watch her own 2002 speech from the Senate floor.
George W. Bush was the third consecutive U.S. president to have bombed Iraq. By 2001, the first Iraq war was seen as incomplete, in that a genocidal Saddam Hussein was not only still in power, but also had broken most of the accords signed after his 1991 defeat. The no-fly zones were eroding. That is why Bill Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 and supposedly blew up lots of things and killed lots of Iraqis (Operation Desert Fox). Earlier that year he had signed the Iraq Liberation Act, which had passed unanimously in the Senate and overwhelmingly in the House. And still earlier he had

that time by any in Congress who perused them.
The anger that developed in the U.S. over the Iraq War did not originate from the stated aim of removing the monstrous Saddam Hussein or even the subsequent absence of large stocks of deployable WMD within Iraq. Saddam, remember, had killed perhaps a thousand times more Iraqis, Kurds, and Iranians with WMD than has Bashar Assad (and apparent stocks of WMD mysteriously have a bad habit of still showing up in Syria and Iraq). Instead, the war became unpopular largely for two reasons.
By late summer 2003, insurgents and terrorists had begun killing Americans in large numbers. After the American public had been prepped by an easy victory and relatively light casualties in the initial invasion, and the apparent end ofthe war with the successful dethronement of Saddam Hussein, the unexpected violence came as a shock. Had the U.S. military lost 4,000 dead in removing Saddam — as some retired generals had warned before the war started — and imposed immediately a quiet peace, the public would not have turned against the war. It was the depressing notion that such a brilliant campaign was followed by a costly occupation that prompted grassroots anger.
Second, the Bush administration had ignored many of the emphases of the original congressional writs and instead hyped the fears of WMD. When the latter were not found in large deployable stocks, and the war had come to seem too costly, a number of the original supporters of the war — like Senators Joe Biden, Hillary

worth the costs of the means to achieve them. If the failure to bring democratic reform to the Middle East had once been the liberal critique of George H. W. Bush’s short-sighted peace deal with Saddam Hussein, advocacy of constitutional government now became the brand of supposedly suspect neo-con pro-Israel operatives.
The incompetent occupation from 2003 to 2006, coupled with the U.S. elections of 2004 and 2006, sparked an anti-war movement in which the likes of Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, the Democratic Left, and the New York Times — mostly now silent amid Obama’s current bombing — made claims that Bush alone had started a preemptive unilateral war for the sake of oil. That he was following prior Clinton leads, had congressional authority on the basis of more than20 writs, believed that Saddam was a supporter of global terrorists, and was already ensuring that Iraqi oil would go to market under transparent circumstances and mostly to China, Russia, and Europe — all these were conveniently ignored.
After a disastrous midterm election, and without much support among his Republican base, Bush in late 2006 gambled with the surge, and appointed General David Petraeus to pacify Iraq and win the peace. Two years later the surge was recognized even by its critics (with the exception of Barack Obama) as a success. Obama entered office with a relatively calm Iraq and with the monthly accident rate among the U.S military higher than the numbers of troops injured or killed by enemy action in Iraq.

ensuing establishment of a stable, consensual state in Iraq. And the only legitimate defense of Obama’s subsequent policy in the region is that, while he is bombing all sorts of groups in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, has abdicated leadership in a way that has led to mass killing and destruction in the region, has no plans to help craft postwar consensual governments, and does not quite know who his enemies are or what they are planning, he so far has not lost American lives in the process — at least until the ascendant Islamic State flexes its global muscles.

Emergence of quantification in clinical investigation and the quest for certainty in therapeutics: the road from Hammurabi to Kefauver.
Throughout most of history, medical knowledge was descriptive in nature and derived from the work of individual investigators of independent mind pursuing careful but often chance observations. Using deductive reasoning, these findings were then generalized, authoritatively presented, and dogmatically promulgated. This, coupled with firmly grounded principles of divine determinism, precluded any serious consideration of randomness, even when variations from recorded, but erroneous, statements were actually observed. Although probability remained an integral component of diagnosis and therapy, it was only as an attribute of opinion and not one supported by numbers. The gradual erosion of this edifice began during the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century that led to the burgeoningof the sciences basic to medicine. Although clinicians applauded these contributions, they failed to apply the inductive method of investigation to the study of disease or to therapy. The "numerical method" of Pierre Louis (1787-1872) first introduced systematic quantification into medicine during the first half of the nineteenth century. Analysis of quantifiable data found its principal application in epidemiology, which flourished during the second half of the nineteenth century. The subsequent adoption of probability calculus for the analysis of quantifiable data, during the first half of the twentieth century, refined the process further and led to the gradual emergence of medical statistics, with a distinct role in clinical research. The mathematical precision provided by quantification and statistical analysis established certainty in medicine and ultimately changed the conjectural art

Hippies - reject the mores of established society (as by dressing unconventionally or favoring communal living) and advocate a nonviolent ethic.
Pirates - took their codes of loyalty very seriously, never turning their back on each other; they faced other pirates as a group, and their success depended on being a united front. They made their own rules and laws and did what they wanted.

Allard served during a tumultuous time in legal education, making bold moves in an effort to steady the school's finances
Nicholas Allard, president and dean of Brooklyn Law School, will leave his post on June 30 after leading the school for the past six years. When Allard was hired, he arrived in Brooklyn during a time of stress for the institution and U.S. law schools in general. The number of applications had been on a steady decline since the Great Recession, falling from 88,000 in 2009-10 to less than 60,000 in recent years, as prospective applicants witnessed the slumping demand for lawyers.
While this year is showing a detectable “Trump bump,” with applications on the rise, Allard’s time was marked by a campaign

special committee of electrocardiographers and engineers was created. There were eight of us. The engineering people on the committee other than myself were Otto Schmitt, Dave Geselowitz, a notable figure in theoretical electrocardiography, and Alan Bersen. Dave Geselowitz has just recently retired from Penn State. My early work in Dan Brody’s lab was in areas in which Dave works, so I knew him very well. Alan Bersen is now at National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. We laid out requirements for electrocardiographs to be approved by the American Heart Association. The American manufacturers met with us every year, usually at the AHA Scientific Sessions. We would discuss our recommendations with them and they would give their own input and tell us how impossible our demands were in somefrom her non-profit development job in Flint, Michigan, and moved to Kansas City to help her son with health issues and to help care for his two daughters. Part of that bargain was Moe and a house in a new neighborhood.
Caring for Moe was a bit difficult, she said, made more so by the fact that the neighbors around her were afraid of Moe (in my interactions with him, he was not aggressive at all and simply just hung out silently and politely. In fact, he was just here at SNKC during a very busy time and was very relaxed the entire time).

It’s been over five years since DC Comics / Warner Bros. Jonah Hex failed spectacularly on the big screen, but for some folks involved with the production, that result still stings. I’m specifically talking about Josh Brolin, who infamously played the title comic book character, a disfigured antihero bounty hunter living in 19th century America. The film, initially written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank), landed in the unsure hands of Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who) when the directing duo departed the picture a few months before the scheduled production start. With production delays, script rewrites, reshoots shot by Francis Lawrence and a ballooning budget, Jonah Hex ultimately flopped, bringing in just under $11 million worldwide

When did it become okay to talk this way? This is the question that's been running through my head in the last few days, as I've followed the press coverage of Sarah Palin's first week on the campaign trail. It's been a busy week for the Alaska Governor, who has taken part in rallies in Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. She's also given extensive interviews about her vision for the campaign and the future.
Having just been reunited with friends after a summer apart, I've been shocked by how many of them have taken to describing Sarah Palin. One friend told me that Palin's nomination "offended [her] as a woman," and that there is no way she ever would have achieved political greatness if she were not female.Geophysics & Environment
Geophysical measurements are used to investigate the subsurface for different practical applications, ranging from the exploration of mineral deposits and mapping of the subsurface structures to the investigation of landfills and pollution. Geophysical methods are also used for imaging subsurface archaeological sites. Likewise, environmental problems can be solved with geophysical measurements. Geophysical investigations are non-destructive and cost-saving. The results of investigation are optimized using various methods.
Optimized results by using various geophysical methods:
Ground-penetrating radar with varying antennas and depth penetrations
Underwater SCUBA radar
Microgravimetry
Electromagnetic measurements
Seismic measurements
Geo-electric resistivity surveys
FGM®/EFT® sensor technology
Range of Applications:
Non-invasive investigation of the geological-lithological situation in the underground, e.g. geological structures, the thickness of the various layers, etc.
Localization of geologically weak zones, potential landslides
Localization of cavities, cracks and soil settlement in the subsurface

International Speedway with a seventh on Sunday night in a 150-lap NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East Series event at the Music City Motorplex in Nashville, Tennessee.
Anton, driving the No. 30 Baran Institute of Technology/Engineered Floors, Inc. Chevrolet, entered the Music City 150 in a tight points battle that involved drivers running sixth through thirteenth in the standings, so every position gained or lost on the track was important. The venue was new to the series, but Anton liked it.

A serial rapist who raped his sister, a blind woman and a bar worker on top of an arcade game is back on the streets.
Anthony Francis Daycana, 62, was released from the secure Atascadero State Hospital in California, on December 3, despite multiple convictions for violent sex attacks.
Parole officers allowed him out on the tag three-and-a-half years after Daycana was arrested for cutting a similar tag off after an earlier release.
Daycana has only served time for two rapes, but court records show that he has raped at least three women and his 13 year-old sister.

raped his sibling in 1976, when he was 19 years-old.
Daycana was released from Atascadero State Hospital on December 3 (Picture: Atascadero State Hospital)
Daycana was convicted of unlawful intercourse with a minor, but it is unclear how long he spent in prison, with the pervert free to commit multiple other offenses during the following three years.
The predator got married and joined the military, but was later discharged over his drunken and violent behavior.
His next known rape happened in December 1979 when he attacked a woman in a deserted field while walking her home from a restaurant in Ventura, California, where both worked.
Just two days later, Daycana raped another woman, given the alias Karen Madison, at the bar where she worked in Ojai, California.
Daycana threatened Madison at gunpoint and repeatedlyattempted to rape her, but was unable to do so.
Daycana’s longest prison sentence saw him jailed between 1980 and 1995, but he was then kept in jail for a further decade over fears he was too dangerous to put back on the streets
Moments later, Daycana ordered Madison to sit on a bar game, where he raped her. She was able to flee, with Daycana jailed for five years in 1980.
Daycana was paroled in 1985, and moved in with the blind friend he ended up raping.
That woman – given the assumed name Heather McKee – woke up one evening to find a stranger had overpowered her.
She lied that she was pregnant in an attempt to get the assailant to leave her alone, but he twisted her legs above her

Loeb called for the positions of CEO and chairman to be separated upon the departure of Ruprecht, who holds both positions.
Third Point had raised its stake in Sotheby's from the 5.7 percent it owned as of August 15.
In a written statement Sotheby's said it is making ongoing efforts to improve the company's balance sheet, deliver shareholder value and improve the cost of capital, including a "comprehensive capital allocation review" that is already underway.
Last month Sotheby's said it would review its capital allocation strategy, leaving the door open to raising its dividend and taking on debt, after activists Loeb, Nelson Peltz and Mick McGuire revealed big stakes in the company.
"Today,read the letter from Loeb and doesn't agree with everything stated in it. She declined to comment further.
On Wednesday Loeb likened the 269-year-old auction house to "an old master painting in desperate need of restoration." He wants auctions, private and internet sales reinvigorated or revamped, he said, and for the company to expand its global footprint and "exploit the Sotheby's brand through adjacent businesses."
Loeb also criticized Sotheby's management for excessive spending and waste at the expense of shareholders, citing an "extravagant lunch and dinner at a famous 'farm-to-table' New York-area restaurant where Sotheby's senior management feasted on organic delicacies."
Third Point did not have any further comment on the letter.
Loeb is one of the hedge fund industry's most famous managers, known as much for his solid returns as his

Record total number U.S. taxpayers renounce citizenship in 2013
A record number of U.S. taxpayers renounced their citizenship or green cards in 2013, according to new data.
Each quarter the U.S. Treasury publishes the names of the Americans who officially expatriated during that period. In the last quarter of 2013, 630 people renounced their citizenship or relinquished their green cards, added to the previous 2013 quarters (2,369 people), brining the total for 2013 to 2,999.
According to Andrews Mitchel, an international tax attorney who tracks the expatriations at his International Tax Blog, the 2,999 amount represented a 221 percent increase over the 932 total in 2012 — and “shatters” the previous record of 1,781 set in 2011.
Mitchel points to three possible reasons for the increase in expatriations last year.
“Increased awarenessEven as Americans are obsessed with whether Trump is controlling the Wuhan Virus or whether Costco will have more toilet paper, unnerving things are happening on the Greece-Turkey border. Turkey has unleashed tens of thousands of Muslim refugees who are headed to Europe, an invasion that, if successful, could destroy Europe's economy and will advance the demographic change started in 2015.
On February 29, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that he was sending the millions of Syrians and other Muslim refugees staying in his country to Europe via Greece. He justified the move by claiming that Europe was not helping Turkey financially with the refugees and that he needed Europe to support his war against Russian and Syrian offensives. Almost instantly, several thousand Syrians and other Muslim migrants

his Slovak counterpart Peter Pellegrini said the growing number of migrants "poses a security threat not just for Greece." Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that there are some 130,000 migrants on the move that the EU has to stop on its borders, and that "Hungary will take an active role in doing so." The four countries have been known for their tough stance against migrants and rejected an EU plan to redistribute refugees in member states.
World War I was not an intentional war. The great powers stumbled into it over two months.
In June 1914, anarcho-socialist Bosnians assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the tottering Austro-Hungarian Empire. The empire declared war on Serbia, Russia countered, Germany declared war on Russia, and Germany then attacked France and Belgium. TheBelgian king sought help from Britain, and — boom! — World War I.
By War's end, Russia was communist, America was a world power, and 40 million people were dead, not counting the approximately 17 to 100 million who died when war unleashed the Spanish Influenza on the world.
The point of that little history lesson is a reminder that, in Europe, limited border wars have spiraled out of control before. It would be well if Western Europe, not just Central Europe, would take a firm stand against Turkey and an equally firm stand against uncontrolled Muslim invasions.

inconsistent

switches between things but based on
what guests is on etc etc people have

about a month prior heSaudi Arabia may be the country in the world most different from the United States, especially where religion is concerned. An important new bill introduced by Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) aims to take a step toward fixing a monumental imbalance.
Consider those differences: Secularism is a bedrock U.S. principle, enshrined in the Constitution's First Amendment; in contrast, the Koran and Sunna are the Saudi constitution, enshrined as the Basic Law's first article.
Anyone can build a religious structure of whatever nature in the United States, so the Saudis fund mosque after mosque. In the kingdom, though, only mosques are allowed; it hosts not a single church – or, for that matter, synagogue, or Hindu, Sikh, Jain, or Baha'i temple. Hints going back nearly a decade that the Saudis will allow

In contrast, the Saudi monarchy has spent globally an estimated US $100 billion to spread its Wahhabi version of Islam. Products of Saudi-funded Wahhabi schools and mosques have often been incited to political violence against non-Muslims.
The Saudis have been arrogantly indiscreet about spending to promote Wahhabism. For example, a 2005 Freedom House report reviewed some of the extremist literature provided to the public by Saudi-funded institutions and concluded that it poses "a grave threat to non-Muslims and to the Muslim community itself." The monarchy has also given multiple and generous grants to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the most aggressive and effective Islamist organization in the United States.
Freedom House blew the lid off of Saudi funding of extremism in 2005.
This discrepancy, a version of which exists in everyWestern country, demands a solution. Some Western governments have taken ad hoc, provisional steps to address it.
• In 2007, the Australian government turned down a Saudi request to send funds to the Islamic Society of South Australia to help build a new mosque. "Obviously we don't want to see any extremist organisation penetrate into Australia," explained then-Foreign Minister Alexander Downer. Eight years later, Saudi diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks affirmed the kingdom's intense interest in influencing Islamic politics in Australia.
• In 2008, the Saudis offered to finance construction of a mosque and Islamic cultural center in Moscow, prompting three Russian Orthodox groups to write an open letter to then-King Abdullah suggesting that his kingdom lift its ban on churches.
• In 2010, Norway's Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre turned

down Saudi funding for a mosque on the grounds that the Saudi kingdom lacks religious freedom.
• In July, reeling from multiple attacks over 18 months that killed 236 people on French soil, Prime Minister Manuel Valls mused about prohibiting foreign funding of mosques "for a period of time to be determined," provoking an intense debate.
These one-off responses may satisfy voters but they had almost no impact. That requires something more systematic – legislation.
Brat's proposed bill, H.R. 5824, the "Religious Freedom International Reciprocity Enhancement Act," makes it unlawful for "foreign nationals of a country that limits the free exercise of religion in that country to make any expenditure in the United States to promote a religion in the United States, and for other purposes."

On the occasion in question, the officers knocked on the outer door and Woodard answered. One of the officers recognized Woodard and knew that he resided elsewhere. Upon questioning, Woodard indicated that he did not know the person under warrant and, furthermore, he could not explain his own presence in the building. The officers, while still at the outer door, observed two other men inside one of the apartments, the door to which was standing *735 open. Stepping into the common area of the building, the officers questioned the two men about the person under warrant. The men denied knowing the person sought and, in response to further questioning,

He also possessed documents on weapons and bomb making, as well as a significant amount of ISIS and Al-Qaeda radical material which he used to recruit ISB members in Singapore from January 2016.
Cover pages of the bomb-making instruction manual (left) and user manual for a sniper rifle found in the possession of Rahman Mizanur. The Bengali text at the top right of the bomb-making manual reads "How to make explosives through action and reaction?", while the text in the middle reads "Ammunition-related Bengali research oriented book".

Department (MFA/ASEAN) expert Nguyen Thanh Huy, the GVN "is

perspective. Huy added that the GVN viewed the decision to
establish a regional CT center in Kuala Lumpur (ref c) was a
"major step forward." Huy opined that the meeting also
helped strengthen ASEAN consensus of opposing terrorism in a
"collective way." Separately, Bui Ngoc Anh, Senior

separately stated that Vietnam was
unlikely to take a leadership role in ASEAN on the CT issue,
however. Huy said that, while Vietnam is "definitely" among
the strongest of the new ASEAN members, taking a leadership
role would send a signal that the GVN considers terrorism a
"major problem" in Vietnam. He commented that GVN leaders
preferred to highlight Vietnam's image as a "safe haven."
Huy admitted that this view "somewhat contradicts" the GVN's
oft-stated view that terrorism does not adhere to any
specific boundaries. However, he opined that the GVN "would
prefer" to leave the leadership role to countries more "at
the forefront of terrorism," such as Indonesia, Malaysia,
and the Philippines. Anh noted that he would be "very
surprised" if Vietnam tried to take a more prominent CT role
within ASEAN. While Vietnam was indeed "part of the ASEAN
CT consensus,"Steve Smith and David Warner will not be eligible for selection in the Sheffield Shield until the 2018-19 final while Cameron Bancroft is available to be picked by Western Australia in the new year.
