Directed by Kalidas, the movie is based in rural India during the British era. The Aamir Khan and Farha Naaz-starrer is a romantic family story of kindness against selfish desires which is based on an acclaimed Bengali play 'Sajano Bagaan' (The Arranged Garden) by Manoj Mitra.

This time, activists have called for a march departing from the border towns of Maghnia in Algeria and Oujda in Morocco to the border crossing of Zouj Bghal on July 22, Moroccan daily al Ahdat Al Maghribia reported.
According to the same paper, the march aims at drawing attention to the problems inflicted on the border areas at the economic and social levels due to the border closure.
The call for the march comes in a context marked by rising calls for normalization of ties between the two countries notably after Algeria voted in favor of Morocco’s 2026 Word Cup Bid.

Morocco has campaigned for years for a reopening of the borders with Algeria, which have been kept closed since a 1994 terrorist attack in Marrakech.
Following this attack in which Algerians were involved, Morocco imposed visa on Algerian nationals in a context marked by the surge of terrorism in Algeria where a civil war was raging between security forces and terrorist groups.
Algeria responded by closing the border in what analysts explained as a move to suffocate Morocco’s eastern region and push the kingdom to concessions on the Sahara issue.

The White House released a list of its high-ranking officials who took part in a video conference with President Obama late Tuesday. Among them appears Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, who apparently has formerly worked for the National Iranian-American Council.
The White House brief, which was disclosed by The Daily Beast, listed Sahar Nowrouzzadeh as the National Security Council Director for Iran. Nowrouzzadeh appears to be a former employee of the alleged pro-Tehran regime lobbying group, NIAC (National Iranian-American Council).
Breitbart News has found that a person with the same name has previously written several publications on behalf of NIAC. According to what appears to be her LinkedIn account, Nowrouzzadeh became an analyst for the Department of Defense in 2005 before moving her way up to the National Security Council in 2014.
A NIACprofile from 2007 reveals that Sahar Nowrouzzadeh appears to be the same person as the one who is currently the NSC Director for Iran. The profiles indicate that she had the same double major and attended the same university (George Washington).
Critics have alleged that NIAC is a lobby for the current Iranian dictatorship under Ayatollah Khamenei. A dissident journalist revealed recently that NIAC’s president and founder, Trita Parsi, has maintained a years-long relationship with Iranian Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif.
NIAC was established in 1999, when founder Trita Parsi attended a conference in Cyprus that was held under the auspices of the Iranian regime. During the conference, Parsi reportedly laid out his plan to introduce a pro-regime lobbying group to allegedly counteract the influence of America’s pro-Israel and anti-Tehran regime

It's probably best to wait until after the audition to smoke anything.
Although more states have legalized recreational marijuana since Colorado became the first state to allow its sale, Colorado remains rich with some of the most innovative minds in the industry. On top of the nearly 1,500 licensed marijuana businesses in Colorado that actually touch the plant, there are hundreds of ancillary companies that work in consulting, packaging, security and technology...with more to come.
With so many hungry pot startups sprouting up, competition for funding can get rough. So why not share that drama on TV? That's what Amazon is doing with The Marijuana Show, an Amazon Prime show that dubs itself "the Shark Tank of cannabis." The series is now looking for entrepreneurs for its third season, andwill hold an audition this weekend in El Prado, New Mexico – less than a five-hour drive from Denver.
ABC's Shark Tank follows aspiring entrepreneurs as they present their business ideas and plans to several high-profile investors in hopes of convincing one of them to invest money in their enterprise, and even become a mentor. That's basically what The Marijuana Show is, too, except that only businesses related to hemp and marijuana can apply.

Season three of The Marijuana Show is expected to have $20 million in funding available for the taking, with different investors potentially offering their capital, smarts, contacts and distribution networks for a stake in competing companies.

v.
Joseph Franklin CLIPSE, Public Safety Trooper First Class, Defendant-Appellee, and
South Carolina Department of Public Safety; South Carolina Highway Patrol, Defendants.
No. 08-6670.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Argued: March 23, 2010.
Decided: April 28, 2010.

ON BRIEF: Sean E. Andrussier, James E. Coleman, Jr., David Chiang, Daniel Mandell, Duke University School of Law, Durham, North Carolina, for Appellant.
Before GREGORY and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and EUGENE E. SILER, JR., Senior Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation.
Reversed and remanded by published opinion. Judge GREGORY wrote theopinion, in which Judge AGEE and Senior Judge SILER joined.
OPINION
GREGORY, Circuit Judge:
Tyrone Robinson ("Robinson") appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment to South Carolina Highway Patrolman Joseph Clipse ("Clipse"). Robinson argues that the court erred in finding that his § 1983 claim against Officer Clipse in his individual capacity did not "relate back" to the date of the original complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c) ("Rule 15(c)"). We agree and reverse the order of the district court.
I.
On November 14, 2002, Patrolman Clipse received a report of a stolen vehicle. After locating the reported vehicle, Clipse engaged in a high speed chase with the car, which was driven by Robinson. The chase ended when Robinson collided with oncoming traffic. Clipse arrived at the scene and, according

to Robinson, pulled his car next to Robinson's, blocked the driver's side door, exited the car with his gun drawn, and began shooting into Robinson's vehicle without reason, striking Robinson. J.A. 150-51.[1] As Robinson drove away in an attempt to flee, Clipse fired several more rounds towards Robinson's back. J.A. 12-13, 151. Clipse disputes Robinson's account and maintains that he was shooting at Robinson because Robinson was driving towards him and he feared for his safety. J.A. 129-30, 136. Shortly after these events, Robinson was arrested. In May 2003, Robinson was tried in South Carolina state court and acquitted on the charge of resisting arrest. He was convicted for failing to stop for Clipse's blue light and for possession of a stolen vehicle.
On November 3, 2005, Robinson, proceedingin forma pauperis, filed this pro se § 1983 action in the District of South Carolina, seeking compensatory and punitive damages and alleging that Clipse's actions constituted excessive force in violation of Robinson's Fourth Amendment rights. Although the complaint identified Clipse as the only wrongdoer, the only defendant named in the case was the South Carolina Department of Public Safety and Highway Patrol ("the Department"). On December 1, 2005, the magistrate judge issued an order prohibiting the district court clerk from issuing and authorizing service of process "unless [so] ... instructed by a United States District Judge or a Senior United States District Judge." J.A. 23. On the same day, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending the dismissal of Robinson's complaint after determining that the Department was

Comparison between SIDS-related court cases in the United States and Japan--a trend seen in legal precedents in the United States.
A bibliographic search of "Lexis", a database on foreign legal cases, was conducted, using sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) as a key word to retrieve legal cases related to SIDS in the United States. The procedure yielded 156 cases, which included many that were brought to the courts for reasons other than SIDS. The following explanation was given for this outcome: because the public in the United States is much better informed about SIDS than in Japan, few cases are brought to the courts with SIDS as the main cause of the argument; the acronym, SIDS, is simply quoted during the court proceedings. Nevertheless, 26 cases that were particularlyrelated to SIDS were selected and compared against 33 cases recorded and retrieved in the previous year in Japan to find the difference in the trends in legal disputes. The difference in the trends in litigation in the two countries was evident: in most cases in Japan, the legal dispute was over the recognition of SIDS or asphyxiation as the cause of death that had occurred in a nursery or hospital, with the family acting as the plaintiff and the nursery or hospital as the defendant. In the majority of cases in the United States, on the other hand, the state was the plaintiff and the family or baby sitter the defendant; the focal point of the dispute was the distinction between SIDS and child abuse.

Missouri. (Tr. 40) In the Spring of 1955, plaintiff's wife and two oldest sons again started farming the farm which plaintiff had, in the meantime, inherited from his father. (Tr. 59) At that time the ages of plaintiff's children, a daughter and three sons, were 14 (daughter), 12, 11 and 9. Plaintiff continued in the hauling business until the end of 1955. The dust in which plaintiff sometimes worked in the hauling business bothered him "some", but not "much". (Tr. 81) Plaintiff later gave up the hauling business because the jar of riding in the truck interfered with the function of his kidneys and made his back sore. (Tr. 81, 82) One reason that plaintiff's wife and sons started farming in 1955 was because the wife of plaintiffwanted to get the boys out of town so they could learn how to farm. (Tr. 62) At the time plaintiff's wife and sons started farming in 1955 plaintiff thought he was going to have to give up trucking because the riding was hurting his kidneys. (Tr. 62) Plaintiff helped in the farming operation in 1956 and 1957. (Tr. 60) He had to slow down in the Fall of 1957 because he "got to feeling bad". (Tr. 60) Plaintiff stopped working on the farm in 1958. (Tr. 60) Plaintiff and his family moved from town to the farm in the Fall of 1958. (Tr. 39)
Plaintiff believed that he has been unable to "perform gainful services since September 15, 1958". (Ex. 15) Plaintiff's wife and sons have operated plaintiff's

(Ex. 15) Plaintiff supervised two of his sons in the feeding and care of their swine and cattle during the winter of 1958 and 1959; and in the Spring of 1959, plaintiff, with the help of his wife, "planned the farming arrangement". (Ex. 15) The teenage sons of plaintiff worked on the farm weekendsuntil school was out in 1959 and full time that summer.

During 1960 plaintiff's sons performed all the farm work in connection with raising crops because plaintiff's asthma condition rendered him unable to enter the fields.

In Exhibit 13 plaintiff states that he began having pain in his right hip "several years ago". Exhibit 13 is undated but apparently came into the record in conjunction with Exhibit 12 which is dated August 23, 1962. Plaintiff claims that in the Spring of 1961 continuous pain in his left hip developed. (Ex. 13)
The "illness and hospitalization" mentioned above refers to plaintiff's commitment to a mental institution, Missouri State Hospital No. 2, on April 15, 1961.

As he continued that search, the Columbus, Ga., native also found inspiration in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta’s work in Emmaus House, located in an area of Atlanta where one of the big riots occurred in the 1960s, Taylor says. The mission houses a community justice office, a food pantry and a job-counseling program.
“The priests there are role models,” Taylor adds. “It was sort of the gospel in action to me.”
Finally, Taylor took the leap to the priesthood by enrolling at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Va. He chose that school, he says, because of its reputation for focusing on preaching and teaching, the two elements of[A case of catamenial pneumothorax due to diaphragmatic endometriosis confirmed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery].
We describe a case of catamenial pneumothorax caused by diaphragmatic endometriosis and histologically confirmed thoracoscopically. The patient was a 33-year-old woman who had had recurrent right chest pain starting on the day preceding each menstruation since she was 26 years of age. In June 2001, at the age of 33, she felt right chest pain and developed dyspnea, and so came to our hospital. Chest radiography showed bilateral pneumothorax. Timely thoracoscopy revealed the characteristic appearances of catamenial pneumothorax such as a blueberry spot on the central tendon of the right diaphragm and a purplish-red locus in the right apex. Histopathological examination further confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue on the diaphragm as well as in

Shlissel was captured on the scene and is currently in police custody.
"We won't permit the terrible murderer to challenge the basic values on which Israeli society is built," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement after sending his condolences to the family.
"We reject with disgust any attempt to impose hatred and violence among us and will bring the murderer to justice," it said. "Shira was murdered because she bravely supported the principle that everyone has the right to live their lives respectfully and with security."
Shlissel attacks marchers at the Jerusalem Pride Parade (Photo: Reuters)
Banki, a high school student, was hospitalized at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Karem, and was on respirator andsedated as doctors were fighting for her life. Her family announced that they will donate Shira's organs.
One of the other wounded at the attack is also hospitalized in Ein Karem in light condition. Another in moderate condition is at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Police is looking into a possible connection between Shlissel and a rebbetzin (a rabbi's wife) from Jerusalem, who is a prominent, vocal critic of the pride parade.
Police arrived at the rebbetzin's home on Thursday evening and Saturday evening to detain her, but she collapsed and was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
Ynet learned that a year ago, Shlissel turned to the rebbetzin's husband, asking for his help in spreading rabbinical literature, and a connection was indeed made between the two.

Two dozen institutions received grant from the federal institute, IMLS, during the newly announced funding cycle, with the UA project slated to fund its work with studentsKnowledge River cohorts, the students are committed to serving American Indian and Hispanic populations, and do so in communities across the nation.
"People who understand information needs are needed in many parts of government, non government and even corporate work," said Bryan Heidorn, director of the UA school, known as SIRLS.
"The Knowledge River program creates the opportunity, provides training and supports some of those people," he added.
Also with the new funding comes two newly solidified partners: the Arizona Historical Society and the Labriola National American Indian Data Center. Though Knowledge River has worked with both before, the funding enables the project to enter formal agreements, as it has with others.

Across the board, projects started by women were more likely to fulfill their funding goals than those started by men. Interestingly, female-headed projects had the starkest advantage in the category of technology, an industry often thought of as hostile to women.
Kickstarter Success Rates for Men and Women, by Product Category
wsj.com (Data: Greenberg and Mollick)
It struck the researchers that women's success on Kickstarter wasn't concentrated in female-heavy categories. This led them to believe that Kickstarter's relative fairness might be derived from its ability to match female entrepreneurs with a small but dedicated audience of female funders interested in supporting women in female-unfriendly industries.
To test this hypothesis, they showed subjects Kickstarter projects that had already been successfully funded, keeping all aspects of the projects constant except for the name, gender,SPECIAL TEAMS:

threatened with cancellation, the team are definitely pulling out all the stops for what they thought might be their last gasp. While that may leave me wondering what they'll do with the new season they got, there's no doubt that Into the Wild Green Yonder provides a satisfying (but far from final) conclusion, and the other three films demonstrate nerd comedy at its finest - epic and irreverent, but ultimately with a smidgen of heart.

Goemon is a master thief who lives like a rock star and robs from the rich to give to the poor. But his carefree existence looks set to end when he steals something the powers that be cannot allow to escape - something that threatens to drag Goemon back into a life he thoughtof it.

When Bazil catches a stray bullet to the head, it's the second arms-related tragedy in his life after his father was killed by a landmine. Now unemployed, homeless, and a little... peculiar, Bazil joins a small community of misfits who live in a scrapyard, and plots to destroy the two arms manufacturers responsible for his misfortunes.
Micmacs à Tire-Larigot was not a risky film for Jean-Pierre Jeunet to make, embodying all his characteristic touches: the warm colour palette, the slightly odd-looking actors, the well-meaning mischief. The plot is rather loose, and the characters are never well defined. But, in its own small way, this is a film with an endearingly quirky voice of its own.
It's perhaps Jeunet's most understated film, dispensing with the narrator of his previous two

Zhang Yimou's extravagant epic of political intrigue and domestic abuse treads the fine line between bold storytelling and melodrama - visual feast and aesthetic indulgence. Certainly it can be enjoyed simply as a display of expensive real-world sets and incredible costumes - but it's also a stark portrait of struggle against implacable tyranny.Overwintering survival of Aphthona beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): a biological control agent of leafy spurge released in North Dakota.
We evaluated the effects of snow cover and debris cover on overwintering success of Aphthona from 2001 to 2004 in southeast North Dakota. Chill degree-days, soil temperature, and duration of soil temperatures were monitored in field plots. Emergence of Aphthona from soil cores collected in October and held in the laboratory under simulated winter conditions did not differ across treatments. Field emergence of Aphthona was significantly reduced compared with emergence of Aphthona in the laboratory under simulated winter. Snow cover protected overwintering of Aphthona during 3 yr. Overwintering success was 77-94% lower in no-snow plots than in snow plots except in 2002. In 2001, when the soil temperature was as low

A glitter of metal caught his eye. The blond stranger whipped out a long, thin chain. It caught the moonlight through the windows and flew through the air, slicing off the tendrils before they reached Mitch and his companions. The man used the chain like a ribboned blade, twisting and slashing at the beast. Mitch had never seen anything like it in his life. The chain rippled in the stranger’s hands, and each movement seemed effortless, like a dance. His blue eyes focused so intently on his prey he seemed to see nothing else. It was the most beautifully lethal thing Mitch had ever seen.

Big Show lost any home field advantage
of the 20 first show of shows when

Neither giant could get the upper hand.
But when Big Show lifted Akebono,
the sumo champion used the momentum
to bounce Big Show from the ring,
for the win.

In late 2010, former trade minister Peter Van Loan announced that
Canada and Israel would start exploratory talks to upgrade the Canada-
Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA). Earlier this year, the Ministry
of International Trade finished public consultations and is now in
internal discussions to implement the upgrades. This creates an
opportune time to fix a loophole in the existing free trade agreement
to ensure Canada’s compliance with its own foreign policy as well as
its international obligations.
Paragraph-1 Contains
As with any free trade agreement, CIFTA is intended to promote trade
between the countries that are party to the agreement, in this case,
Canada and Israel. The trouble with CIFTA is that it extends
preferential trade treatment, including lower tariffs, to goods
produced in Israeli settlements located within occupied Palestinian
territory as if they were made in Israel. In other words,loophole in the
upcoming upgrade. Any free trade benefits should be limited to the
intended goods made in Tel Aviv, Nazareth and other places inside
Israel. Countries in Europe and South America have taken steps to do
so in their respective free trade agreements with Israel and serve as
useful precedents for the Canadian ministry to consider.
Paragraph-10 Contains
The stagnating peace process is on the verge of imploding primarily
because of the ever-expanding settlement enterprise. With the
international community hard-pressed to persuade Israel to end its
unhealthy addiction to settlement growth, Canada’s decision to
continue rewarding illegal settlement products creates an unfortunate
perception that Canada is playing the role of enabler for Israel’s
addiction.

weird. Sure, it features Michael Fassbender as the title character, a poet/musician who wears a giant fake head. Like, always wears a giant fake head. But the entry point to the story is a wannabe songwriter played by Domhnall Gleeson, who guides us into Frank’s hyper-artistic world. Through him we see both the appeal and deep oddity of Frank’s life, and the movie deploys some unique comedy along the way. Read More »
Michael Fassbender has two movies out this weekend, sort of, and they couldn’t be more different. One is the awards season re-release of 12 Years a Slave, a grim drama in which Fassbender plays a cruel slave owner. The other is Frank, a comedy debuting at Sundance in which he plays a musician who constantly wearsa giant fake head.
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson (What Richard Did), Frank follows a young musician named Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) who falls in with an eccentric band. The leader of the group is Fassbender’s Frank, who manages to exude magnetism and power even through that crazy-looking headpiece. The first clip has just hit the web, and you can see it after the jump.
The new film from director Steve McQueen (Shame, Hunger) is based on the true story of Solomon Northrup, a free black man who was kidnapped and held as a slave for over a decade. In 12 Years a Slave, Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Northrup, and we see his horrific journey and what amounts to years of imprisonment as a slave as he is tormented by captors and owners.

I am sympathetic with those who question the tenability of this interpretive solution3. Suspicions tend 1. D. FURLEY,The Greek Theory of the Infinite Universe, Journal of the History of Ideas, 42, 1981, pp. 571-585, at pp. 572-573 helpfully reminds his reader that the Greek word ÎfiÛÌÔ (and compare the Latin mundus) refers to a limited, organized system, bounded by the stars. The universe as a whole, by contrast, is referred to by Greek writers as Ùe ÄÓ (and compare the Latin phrases omne quod est, omne immensum and so forth). For those Greek writers who subscribed to an infinite universe, then, a ÎfiÛÌÔ represents the bounded area beyond which begins the rest of the infinite universe.And compare the following lines from Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, 1.73-75:ponderis with impulsionis, which he reads as dependent on the accusative plagam, Konstan contends that gravitatis and ponderis too must depend on plagam. As such, he translates the passage as follows: «The atom, says he [Epicurus], swerves. In the first place, why? For they had another kind of power of motion from Democritus, which he calls "the blow of collision," and from you, Epicurus, the blow of heaviness and weight». But there is good reason to reject this translation and, consequently, its implications for the phrase ÙFÉ ÙÔÜ ‚¿ÚÔ ÏËÁFÉ. First, recall that neither section of Epicurus's Ad Herodotum, 61, nor the later report in Aëtius provide evidence in support of such a translation. That is, one where an atom's own weight exerts a kind of

internal impact, which moves the atom downwards. Second, this translation stretches the meaning of plaga, the Latin equivalent of the Greek ÏËÁ‹, so that it now signifies something more general like «force». But this seems unacceptable, for a plaga, as with a ÏËÁ‹, always refers to a striking or impact between two things (cf. LS, s.v. plaga, especially §I). Finally, as to the parallel between the genitives gravitatis and ponderis, and impulsionis, it is more natural to read each of them as dependent not on plagam, but on vim. And this is, I suggest, how H. Rackham understands the passage. He translates it as follows: «"The atom does swerve", he says. In the first place what causes the swerve? For the motive force that they will get fromin part by my distinguishing between two types of properties: basic properties and dependent properties. The distinction is, perhaps, of the utmost importance. For I wish to resist accepting at face value Aëtius's testimony, but I also wish to avoid discrediting Aëtius's testimony as historically valueless (pace O'BRIEN, 1981, op. cit.). With this distinction in place, it is possible to read Aëtius's testimony not as outright denying weight as a property of Leucippus's and Democritus's atoms. Rather, the reports deny only that weight has any connection to atomic motion; that weight has the explanatory primacy Epicurus would later grant it in response to Aristotle's criticisms of Democritean atomism. The relationship between an atom's weight and size described in Aristotle's and Theophrastus's testimony is stressed in another way too,

At the same time, senior constable Matthew Fage was about to begin a nine-week drug course. He would be partnered with a new dog after his last working companion suddenly died.
Fage was asked to train a german shepherd and Banjo who was set for a future in Rarotonga as a drug detection dog.

Newall Glacier is a glacier in the east part of the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, flowing east between Mount Newall and Mount Weyant into the Wilson Piedmont Glacier. In its uppermost névé area sits Kaminuma Crag, a craggy, island-like nunatak, long, rising to high.
The glacier was mapped by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58, who named it after nearby Mount Newall. The crag was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 for Japanese geophysicist Katsutada Kaminuma, Professor of Earth Sciences at the National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo.

the position of the South in the 'historical bloc'.
Pre-history
The toxic fusion of anticommunism and racism had seen its entrée in era of haut Wilsonianism, from 1917 to 1921. In response to the socialist and labour challenges following the Bolshevik revolution, the US government embarked on a series of legal-repressive measures to identify and contain subversives. The dominant key of countersubversion was nativist, concerned with the preservation of ‘Americanism’, and racist. Robert Lansing, George Simons, and military intelligence credited the fraudulent thesis of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to explain the success of the Bolsheviks. The race theorist Lothrop Stoddard maintained that the Bolsheviks were race traitors vaunting “the proletarianization of the world”. The Sedition Act (1918) was used pointedly against ‘aliens’, while the J Edgar Hooverused his position in the Bureau of Investigation to raise alarm over the alleged propensity of African American leaders toward communism – a claim that resonated with the previous hysteria over pro-German sympathies among African Americans. The Lusk Commission established in 1919 to look into radicalism “argued that there was ‘not a single system of Anglo-Saxon socialism, nor a single system of Latin race socialism’. The only scientific system of socialism was ‘of German-Jewish origin’.” This was a particularly portentous accusation after the feverish anti-German propaganda that shadowed US entry into the First World War.
In the ensuing period, communist agitation around the issue of race – particularly after the Moscow Congress of the Communist International supporting self-determination for the black sunbelt in 1928 – served to bolster the

mutually reinforcing capacities of anticommunist and racial politics. A number of events served to underline this. In March 1931, local police arrested nine black teenage boys in Scottsboro, Alabama, charging them with the rape of two white women on a train travelling through northern Alabama. Four separate juries convicted eight of the boys that same month. The Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) organised a major campaign of support the ‘Scottsboro Boys’. The prosecution of black CPUSA organiser Angelo Herndon in Atlanta for “inciting insurrection” added to the perception that the red problem was a race problem, and vice versa. And though unions struggled to make progress against the southern business class in the 1930s, communists made gains among most disaffected workers in southern industries, like textiles, particularlyamong class conscious black workers. Black members of CPUSA made up 7.2% in 1931, but rose to 14% in 1946. Thus, in the prologue to the classical period of anticommunism, the latter was already imbricated with the preservation of Jim Crow and vice versa.
The classical phase of anticommunism
After 1945, the relationship between anticommunism and the racial order became more complex. The complexity arose from the ambiguities of managing different kinds of hegemony, and different kinds of racial order, in different kinds of space. To explain, the US had assumed a hegemonic position among an alliance of capitalist classes opposed to socialism in this period. The rise of anticolonial struggles, often influenced or led by communist parties, demanded that the US government engage in a complex series of operations.

rights groups, and the relevant unions will disclose. But I’ve been into some of the background of bodies like the Southern States Industrial Council, which I think is a hugely important business alliance organised around virulent anticommunism and the defence of racial hierarchies as a delicate cultural ecology, an appropriate form of diversity for a healthy America. It coordinated a number of class practises – industrial policy, political interventions both domestically and overseas (Rhodesia, for instance), ideological and propaganda campaigns. And what one tends to find is an articulation of anticommunism and white supremacy as distinct elements in these class practices. One finds the council mainly avoiding direct references to Jim Crow, beyond opposing "civil rights propaganda" and declaring that the issue was a "temporary and typical nationalvagary". They did organise against the inclusion of Hawaii as an American state, because they believed that the inclusion of another people who were not white would dilute the republic. But as importantly, they maintained that the place was some sort of Bolshevik outpost, where the ILWU ran the place like some sort of socialist dictatorship. Generally speaking, they tended to link a defence of free market conservatism to a discourse of Southern cultural vitality and diversity as a necessary element of a cosmopolitan culture. They were also profoundly belligerent in the Cold War, supporting the wars in Vietnam and Korea, and opposing Nixon’s detente with the PRC; like most southern politicians, they opposed those aspects of foreign policy designed to win the Cold War with ‘soft power’

There is also testimony that Wolf subsequently told Dye that they were "just talking and kidding" at the time of the April conversation.
The court found as follows: Neither of the parties had any interest in or business connection with the operations conducted on the property of the other. In April, 1944, they met casually on the lot and in the course of a general conversation Mazzera proposed that Wolf endeavor to purchase the lot, taking title in his own name, and that they wouldsleeping dozen or so men who had no more than a locker each for their possessions…. well it made me feel very republican, so it did.

Council members Vincent Ignizio, James Oddo, and Debi Rose at a press conference discussing legislation to increase Staten Island Ferry service.
(Staten Island Advance/Jillian Jorgensen)
UPDATE, 4:19 p.m. -- The Staten Island Ferry bill passed unanimously in the City Council.
It was among the least controversial measures before the Council today -- which included two major land use projects, the creation of condos at the graffiti mecca 5Pointz in Long Island City and the creation of mixed use developments in blighted Willet's Point, Queens. Those deals -- particularly Willet's Point -- held up the Council's meeting as negotiations on them continued through the early afternoon before today's affirmative votes.
It may serve as a bit of a preview for the vote on the New York Wheel and Empire Outlets Oct. 30.

MASTER OF BOTH WORLDS…
Amid the smell of incense and rose petals, Muhammad Amin wipes the dust off his face and refills empty oil lamps that are flickering to their death. A custodian at the shrine of Sufi Saint Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah, Amin curses visitors who steal kerosene from the oil lamps. In the same light of the oil lamps, an expectant Mukhtara Begum sits in eerie chilly silence. With her only child, a frail daughter, clasped tightly in her lap, she prays for a son. It’s clearly written all over her face. She believes the Saint listens to all. In the distance, another devotee interrupts their silence and utters akafi from Bulleh Shah’s poetry.

aroma. People swarm to get their hands on free food at the shrine like flies, fighting for every strand of rice and piece of bread. It illustrates a sordid state of affairs. People from all over the country come to give their respect to the saint.The irony is that Bulleh Shah, now revered by people of all religions and culture, never got the recognition or respect he deserved during his lifetime. It’s not surprising, simply tragic, that when Bulleh Shah passed away, his dead body lay on the road in front of the house for almost a week (other accounts say 10 days). He had been refused by the mullahs to be buried after his death in the community graveyard because of his unorthodox views. Hence he washe could attain inner knowledge. Only contact with his Murshid or Master Inayat Shah, a well-known Qadiri Sufi of his time, could make this attainment possible. Inayat belonged to the Arain caste and earned his living through agriculture or gardening. Bulleh Shah’s coincidental meeting with Inayat Shah melted his heart and he knew he had found his master.Bulleh Shah held onto Inayat Shah’s cloak tightly for the rest of his life. A majority of Bulleh Shah’s poetry is a tribute to his Master. His life had become moments of madness and strange ecstasy. In the presence of his Master and with the practice of the path he had just been offered, Bulleh Shah’s spiritual condition and realisation metamorphosed into strong belief.For a distinguished scholar and descendant of Prophet

she made use of Clan Ordo's Basilisk droid to reach the Onderon capital city of Iziz, swooping sharply from the moon down to the planet's surface to evade the fire of the city's laser cannon defenses. The city locals feared the Basilisk's arrival, the memory of seeing the droid in action during the recent Mandalorian Wars still fresh in many of their minds.[9]
By 2 BBY, Chop'aa Notimo had come into possession of a Basilisk war droid. That year, Notimo and his band of Mandalorian mercenaries took Corellian senator Garm Bel Iblis hostage on the planet Bespin. At the request of Jedi Knight Rahm Kota, the former Sith apprentice Galen Marek set out to rescue Corellia's senator from Bespin's capital, Cloud City, engaging Notimo's mercenaries before finally confronting theveteran Mandalorian soldier. Notimo called upon his Basilisk war droid to engage Marek, using the droid's heavy claws and laser cannon to keep the Force-wielder at bay. However, Marek was eventually able to violently throw the war droid into a wall, before ripping its mechanical body apart using the Force. Without his droid mount, Notimo attempted to fight Marek on his own but was defeated and killed, and Bel Iblis was rescued.[8]
During the Galactic Civil War, engineers were able to acquire schematics for manufacturing recreations of the ancient Basilisk war droids. The droids the engineers designed were largely similar to the animalistic incarnation of the Basilisk, though they incorporated a pair of hind legs in addition to the long-standing front set, and could only carry one rider.

Officers from the New York Police Department raided a Brooklyn home on Thursday, arrested the family living there, and then posted pictures to Snapchat—yes, really—with the caption "Merry Christmas Its [sic] NYPD."
It wasn't until later that the cops realized they had raided the wrong house, and arrested and publicly humiliated the wrong people.
The family, according to ABC-7 in New York, was so upset by the whole incident that they filed a police report and called 911 to report the cops—which, yeah, good for them.
"The worst part was the Snapchats," Kimberly Santiago, one of the people wrongfully arrested in Thursday's incident, told the TV station. "He doesn't deserve to be a police officer. If he does that, what other things he does on the low that nobody knows?"
The ABConce and for all. Provide leadership and training for guerrilla warfare. Institute discipline and terrorism to insure at least passive support from the larger inactive segment of the population. Train and battle-harden leadership through sporadic riots and battles with police. Finally, at the appointed time, launch an all-out simultaneous offensive in every city.(6)
Police and national guard units will never be adequate to handle such widespread anarchy–especially if a large part of our men and equipment are drained away in fighting a foreign war. In self-defense, larger numbers are brought into fighting on both sides. The appearance of a nationwide civil war takes form. In the confusion, potential anti-communist leaders of both races are assassinated, apparently the accidental casualties of race war.

of water supplies, power grids, main railroad and highway arteries, communication centers, and government buildings. With fires raging in every conceivable part of town, with wanton looting going on in the darkness of a big city, without routine police protection, without water to drink, without electrical refrigeration, without transporation or radio or TV, the public will panic, lock its door in trembling fear, and make it much easier for the small but well-led and fully disciplined guerrilla bands to capture the power-centers of each community. Overthrow the government! After complete control is consolidated, (and that may take many months, as in Cuba), only then allow the people to discover that it was a communist revolution after all.

From Michigan,two incidents involving black college thugs. Two Western Michigan Bronco football players(black)were arrested for breaking into a white women's apartment near the WMU campus and engaging in armed robbery and other crimes.An interview on WOOD was with the victim,who I identified as white. She made some comment that they forced her to remove her blouse,but that she then ran into a bathroom,locking the door.Their mugshots are on WOOD. Another black college thug was arrested last night as former MSU basketball star,Keith Appling,24,was arrested,while fleeing from his car,during a traffic stop.A gun was found near the car.This is his THIRD arrest in 6 months. Fine examples of educated black thugs.--GR Anonymous

Shelby died at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, according to an announcement by his company, Carroll Shelby Licensing. A cause was not disclosed.
He led a colorful, outsized life that touched virtually every corner of the automotive world, said Leslie Kendall, curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
“He was the only individual to influence the designs of all three major American automakers. Everything he touched became legendary,” Kendall said. “Even recently he was working on an experimental engine.”

On February 1, 1973, a commercial note for $30,020 was signed to cover this account by each of the partners individually, and as partners in ABC Warehouse. The proceeds of the note were deposited to the trust account under the escrow agreement. On June 26, 1973, Bridgers withdrew from the partnership under a written dissolution agreement in which Lofgren and Wright succeeded to all partnership assets and obligations upon payment of a sizable settlement to Bridgers. Shortly thereafter, a third partnership was founded by written agreement incorporating Coleman as the third partner with Lofgren and Wright. Thereafter, Coleman made a series of capital contributions to the business.
The evidence at trial showed that Coleman did not take an active part in management of the partnership. Although he

at all times had access to the partnership records, Coleman relied on Lofgren to inform him of partnership affairs. Coleman had no previous experience in the warehousing business and he was brought into the partnership because of his ability to contribute to the partnership's capital.
The third partnership was dissolved upon renewal of the lease of the Gottstein building and a fourth partnership was founded *634 to take over the business. The fourth partnership consisted of Coleman and his sons, Kit and Carson Coleman. There were no formal dissolution papers signed as to the third partnership, although a written assignment was prepared, signed and notarized by Lofgren and Wright. This document purported to assign all rights to the sublease of the Gottstein property and all receivables of ABC Warehouseto the new Coleman partnership. The assignment also expressed as an assumption agreement that "the new Co. owner will take over all payables" for ABC Warehouse and those charged to Associated Buying Company, Inc. and Wayne Lofgren on behalf of ABC Warehouse Company. This assignment was read but not signed by Coleman. However, there was evidence that he accepted it. For example, he identified the assignment as the document which permitted him to take over the business, and he relied on the assignment in asserting title to the $30,000 deposited to secure the lease.
Pursuant to a demand by Gottstein, the bank paid $15,000 of the escrowed funds to cover a rental delinquency, and the premises were vacated. Gottstein indicated that he also intended to satisfy repair bills from

Coleman's I'm sorry, Mrs. Lofgren's time was voluntary or was a gratuity to the ABC Warehouse operation. She had her own family business, she was a business person, she is a bookkeeper by trade. This is not an instance where some housewife is coming in and saying that she's entitled to something as a supernumerary in the corporate or the partnership structure. That was her trade, she was working at it, that's not contested. Further, she was offered a position, at least in the transition phase, by the Coleman interest.

By: Mackenzie Wright | May 9, 2019
One woman got devastating news when she was just 18 weeks pregnant. Her husband was killed on a business trip in another state.
A drunk driver rammed into him and killed him. The mom-to-be had no alternative but to go on alone for the sake of the children.
When she got some pictures taken, though, she realized she might not be alone at all.
Kelly Luethe was texting with her husband one night while he was away on business. They were talking about going to find out the sex of the baby they were expecting the next week.
Jarret stopped responding, and the pregnant mother of two thought he had just gone to bed.

she got a knock on the door from police. They had devastating news - Jarrett was dead. he was hit by a drunk driver.
Instead of going with her husband to find out the sex of their third baby, she was going to his funeral. After the funeral, Kelly found out she was having a baby boy.
She decided to name him Jarrett Jr. Despite the hard time she was having, she decided to do a maternity photo shoot.
“I want to include him in anyway I can for our family and especially Jarrett Jr., since he will never get to have his dad around,” she said.
Kelly asked her friend, Jessica Brandau, to take the photos. She and her other two children went to a pretty field and they started posing.

“Voters should not have to face an obstacle course in order to participate in our democracy,” said Elisabeth MacNamara, national League president. “We had hoped that a reconstituted EAC would focus on improving election administration. This action by the

on the actual story Khn'nr first appeared in as seemingly Mar-Vell, but Mark Millar was the architect of Civil War, which included Mar-Vell's alleged return. Confusing the issue even more, Brian Michael Bendis was the architect of Secret Invasion and the idea of this Captain Marvel being a Skrull impostor could have easily been his.
Finally, it is possible that it was originally supposed to be the actual Mar-Vell who returned during Civil War and this was changed later to be a Skrull impostor. In that case, Brian Reed and Lee Weeks could be considered the creators of Khn'nr since they set up and revealed this idea in their Captain Marvel limited series.
Major Story Arcs
Civil War
Khn'nr was told that he was fated to return to the past and dieof cancer, which he was already plagued with. He was also asked to help in this time until he returned. Becoming the warden of the new 42 prison, his presence was kept secret from Earth. In truth, that was the purpose of making him warden. Stark wanted him kept someplace safe until his mental state could be determined.
Civil War put a hitch in that plan. Anti-registration forces led a breakout of the prison, and Khn'nr opted to stand by no longer. He put on his Nega-Bands and joined the climatic battle in New York City. He was exposed in the process, but the chaos of the fight still kept him hidden from many. Spider-Man saw him and immediately assumed he was a clone created by Stark. During the

fight, he warned a civilian to stay clear and that the world shouldn't be like this. That woman would take those words and later call herself Mother Starr, founder of the Church of Hala.
I Am Here
Khn'nr took off after the war's final battle and lost himself in the world. He found himself repeatedly drawn to the Lourve and specifically Charles Lebrun's "Alexander in Babylon." Little did he realize that the painting was meant to be the image keyed to unlock his Skrull persona. Because of the faulty memory upload, it only left him with the nagging sense that it should have some meaning.
He was found and approached by SHIELD agent Heather Sante, who had been tasked to monitor him. Stark was concerned that should anything happen to himthen the past would be compromised. His talk with her helped convince him that he should stop hiding. He reappeared in New York, making a very public appearance in aiding the Avengers. Now, the whole world believed Captain Marvel was back from the dead.
He was given an apartment in Avengers Tower, where he was secluded. Most of his time was spent obsessing over the Charles Lebrun painting as he was convinced it had something to tell him. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something important he couldn't remember and that it was just sitting there on the edge of his mind.
During this time, he was contacted by Hulkling, the son that Mar-Vell never knew. Khn'nr did not know how to react when Teddy told him the

truth. Eventually, he came to terms with it and contacted the boy again. He confirmed what the Super-Skrull said of Teddy's origin. Mar-Vell and Princess Anelle were together for a short time. They hugged, and Khn'nr told Teddy that he would see him again if time permitted him to before sending him back to his own time. Unfortunately, he would not see Teddy again.
Meanwhile, Khn'nr was also finding himself persistently under attack by strange enemies. Cyclone and Cobalt Man, who were both supposed to be dead, attacked him at different times. Then he and Iron Man were attacked by a unit of Kree soldiers who should not have been able to leave Kree space due to the Phalanx conquest. These were Skrull agents, trying to snap Khn'nr outof it and retrieve him. Their attempts failed. He interrogated the Skrull posing as Cobalt Man to find out why the Skrulls were after him and was told the truth about himself. He was Khn'nr of the Skrull Empire and not Mar-Vell of the Kree. Khn'nr reacted badly. He didn't believe it and killed the Skrull.
In desperation, he came to Mother Starr and the Church of Hala. He needed to do something he could feel still had meaning and thought she could help him do such things. He wound up helping with aid in the Sudan, only to be attacked by a militia. The militia didn't stand a chance against him. All it did was enrage him. He declared that he would see peace on Earth and destroy

anything standing in the way of that. These declarations concerned Stark and Carol Danvers, and they decided they needed to get him under control. Using Mar-Vell's real Nega-Bands, Carol clashed one against Khn'nr's and launched him into the Negative Zone. When Tony and Carol couldn't locate him in the Negative Zone, they assumed he had been sent back to the correct time.
What actually happened was that Khn'nr found the portal that originally sent him into the Negative Zone. It was the portal that led to the secret Skrull facility where he was turned into Captain Marvel. As he stepped into the facility, the memories of what happened there unlocked in his mind. He realized that he really was a Skrull. Agent Sante was there as well, having alreadyfound the place. She confronted him with the truth she'd found. He admitted it but told her his every memory was that of Mar-Vell. No longer was he Khn'nr of the Skrulls. He believed himself to be Mar-Vell and the Kree and wanted to live as Mar-Vell would.
Secret Invasion
Khn'nr worked with Agent Sante to find out more about the coming Skrull invasion. Intelligence was recovered from the Skrull facility, but none of it was useful in exposing the specifics of how the Skrulls were planning to take the Earth. He came to realize that nothing he could do would stop the invasion. The Skrulls would attack, the heroes would fight back, and hopefully the Skrulls would eventually be repelled. That was just the way it was going to

be. There was no difference for him to make.
So he turned himself in to the Skrulls and asked to help with the invasion. He wanted to be the one to eliminate the Thunderbolts, so that while he could do nothing about the invasion, he could at least take care of that nest of corruption. In that small way, he hoped to leave Earth a better place. He took off on his assignment, attacking Thunderbolts Mountain and defeating the whole team in moments. When it came time to kill them, he found that he couldn't just kill in cold blood. Norman Osborn picked up on this and spoke to him. Osborn played at his confusion and made him realize what he was doing was the wrong thing to do.
Khn'nrspared the Thunderbolts and took off. He reinforced his belief that he was who he chose to be, and he chose to be Captain Marvel, protector of Earth. Nothing was going to shake him from that now. He assaulted the Skrull fleet head on, destroying as much as he could. Eventually, it became too much for him. He fell back to Earth in flames and crashed in the vicinity of Noh-Varr.
He recognized Noh-Varr as a Kree warrior and spent his dying breaths telling Noh-Varr that the Skrulls could not be allowed to win. Khn'nr died in Noh-Varr's arms, reverting to his Skrull form.
Powers and Abilities
As a Skrull, Khn'nr can shape-shift and be undetected as most Skrulls can. As Captain Marvel, he appears to share all the powers of

Governor's Race
NY's race for Governor heats up
The campaign for governor in New York is heating up. The State Democratic Party is running attack ads against the Republican candidate for governor, while the GOP candidate is fighting back in a web video.
“Rob Astorino, so far right he’s wrong for New York,” a narrator intones, over a background of ominous music.
The ads capitalize on a dispute that Astorino, the Westchester County Executive, is having with the federal government over a plan to build fair housing in the county. The lawsuit requires the county to analyze its zoning laws to find potentially discriminatory practices, and build affordable housing units in some of the county’s predominately white towns. But Astorino contends the county zoning is not discriminatory, and has so far refusedin a negative light may make it even harder for the GOP candidate to raise that money.

27th edition of Noorderzon ended
Posted at: 27 Aug 2017
27th edition of Noorderzon holds up a mirror to visitors in a changing world
The 27th edition of the Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival Groningen closed on Sunday 27 August with the traditional Noorderzondag. Over the course of eleven days, over 150,000 visitors enjoyed everything that the festival had to offer: a very well received national and international performing arts programme that took place throughout Groningen, combined with wonderful summer festivities in the idyllic Noorderplantsoen park. The 2017 programme featured the young and experienced voices of exciting theatre makers from such countries as the United Kingdom, Argentina, Japan, Syria and the United States. This year, Noorderzon took place from Thursday 17 August until Sunday 27 August.
A mirror held up to you ina changing world
From Julian Hetzel's small bars of soap made from human fat to the Brazilian dancers covered in coffee, clay and curcuma of Lia Rodrigues. From the Australian makers of Gravity & Other Myths, who make defying gravity seem simple, to a poetic performance about death made with dancing hands. From Mariano Pensotti’s revolutionary puppet theatre-film-theatre performance to an impressive documentary by Quarantine about someone who knows that their end is near. About living on 3.50 a day as told by the Mexican Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol to the intimate stories of refugee Syrian women presented by Bissane al Charif.
During the 27th edition of Noorderzon, artists provided their own take on how people manage to survive in an ever-changing world. In very many of the performances the

role of the audience was important in a variety of ways. From all working together to put together a performance with the American company 600 HIGHWAYMEN and with Teatro Instabile di Aosta, to literally viewing yourself in festival hits Hamnet by Dead Centre (Ireland) an Cold Blood by Jaco Van Dormael and Michèle Anne De Mey (Belgium). There were many ways visitors had a mirror held up to themselves, the world and their role in it.
Talking Points: debate, lectures and innovation
At Noorderzon this year the programme had a number of connecting themes, a series of Talking Points. Together with a number of excellent local partners, the festival offered visitors various opportunities for further insight and discussion in the newest tent at the festival site, the Horatio tent. Noorderzonactivities included presenting a wide-ranging scientific programme with partners including Studium Generale, the University of Groningen and Science Linx. Art was debated and how a festival can be a political arena, sustainable innovations were discussed on the first Sustainable Sunday, and together with media partner Dagblad van het Noorden and the Verhalen van Groningen, the Groningen region and the future were debated.
Music: Holy Fuck, Tank and the Bangas, Klangstof, Mario Batkovic and more
On various stages in the Noorderplantsoen and in the city centre there were many musical performances which often could be visited free of charge. The Spiegeltent hosted performances including ones by virtuoso Mario Batkovic, Courtney Marie Andrews and Parker Millsap. Het Dok performers included Holy Fuck, Klangstof, Tank and the Bangas and Parcels. In the Lutheran

CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — Jaw dropping surveillance footage from a Citrus County car dealership shows the moments a car flies into the air, over several vehicles, before making a crash landing.
Car flies into air over dozens of vehicles at car dealership
Crash occurred Tuesday afternoon at Crystal Ford Lincoln in Citrus
Car made crash landing, hitting two parked vehicles
It happened Tuesday afternoon at Crystal Ford Lincoln in Citrus County.
Citrus County deputies say a driver traveling down U.S. 19 felt dizzy and lost control of his white Toyota Camry. The car veered into the grassy area of the road then over a berm before going airborne. That car traveled 139 feet through the air over a dozen vehicles without hitting any of them. Once the Camry hit the ground it smashedamong the best television Westerns, but it can fill up an oppressive August weekend quite effectively. What better actor to turn to than Ward Bond, with his grating, unmodulated donkey-bellow, to make himself heard over the full blast of my air conditioner?
Wagon Train started with a premise that was extremely well-designed, as simple and sturdy as a Conestoga. It had two lead characters, Major Seth Adams (Ward Bond) and Flint McCullough (Robert Horton), each of whom could serve as the center of a story or step into the background whenever the guest star of the week took up most of the screen time. That was important, because most Wagon Trains introduced a guest character in the very title (“The Joe Schmidlapp Story”), and the show was marketed on

the basis of its big-name guest stars.
(This was a promise Wagon Train could deliver upon, initially, because it was produced by MCA, which until 1959 was also the biggest talent agency in town. It’s doubtful that Shelley Winters or Ernest Borgnine, both at the peak of their film careers in 1957, would have deigned to appear in a television Western – a brand new one, no less – without a little arm-twisting by Lew Wasserman or his dark-suited lieutenants. After MCA was forced to sell its agency business, Wagon Train’s guest stars became slightly less stellar, although they still comprised the top actors working in television.)
Adams and McCullough were modular leading men, versatile moving parts that could be plugged into a variety of different places. If Adams remainedand potentially exhausting multi-character storylines. Wagon Train has the capacity to loosen up in the same way: just when I start to get tired of watching Ward Bond scream at the idiot settlers who wreak havoc on his train, there’s a breather where the smooth, likable Horton breezes through a less predictable adventure in a less familiar setting.
Wagon Train and ER might seem like apples and oranges, but in fact the Western series was one of the earliest dramas to take some tentative steps toward serialization. Most seasons began with an episode or two set in St. Louis, at the beginning of the train, and ended with one or two segments set at the end of the trail, in San Francisco. For instance, the third season opens with

an episode (“The Stagecoach Story”) detailing the main characters’ return trip, by stage, from the West Coast to Missouri, following the preceding years’ train. The next episode (“The Greenhorn Story,” with the inevitable Mickey Rooney in the title role) covers the formation of the new train, with an emphasis on the naïve easterners’ adjustment to a new, harder way of life.
In the middle of the season, episodes do not follow a chronology – some of them span the course of months, and the physical progress from one to the next would probably zigzag back and forth across a map – but the viewer is not discouraged from thinking of each season’s various progatonists as members of the same train, with every individual story one panel in a mosaicavailable on Netflix. I was glued to it, being an avid western fan and history buff. I have a slight memory of it from early childhood……that funny man with the beard and that recognizable theme music. It was a well written anthology series that usually filled an hour of anticipation for the viewer. It often combined heart wrenching story lines and then came a little relief to the audience with Bill Hawks and Charlie Woosters hilarious banter.
Gene L. Coon wrote scripts for many episodic TV shows from the late 50’s, early 60’s era, many dealing with redemption. A favorite Wagon Train episode of mine is one called “The Jose Morales Story”, written by Coon. In it, a Mexican renegade who had fought at the Alamo twenty years earlier,

a year ago was the BMW 330e, which is the plug-in hybrid version of the company's quintessential 3 Series offering.
While the 330e (from $44,695 including DST), physically arrived in April 2016 in a token amount, it took BMW almost a year to stock the plug-in very robustly.
Like almost all iPerformance offerings in November, the BMW 330e reached a near 2017 high during the month, selling 477 copies. December's total hit 363 sales.
Given the still relatively limited inventory of the 330e on BMW lots so far in 2017 (about ~200 as of the time of this writing), there is a lot of upward sales potential for the car. However, as it has now been on offer for 21 months in the U.S., maybe BMW really doesn't care to displaceother trim level in the U.S.
Ford Fusion Energi
Ford Fusion Energi: YET
The refreshed 2017 Ford Fusion Energi (details) was a fairly big hit in 2016, showing marked improvements throughout the year.
Heading into 2017, the Fusion Energi crossed back into "four-digit land" in March, as 1,002 Energis were moved ... joining a club of just five others at that level. The month of May showed a repeat of such numbers, but sales have stayed in the 700s ever since.
For November, that number was 731. For the year, just over 8,700 have been moved. This makes the Fusion Energi the 7th best selling plug-in for America to date.
December sales are up a touch, with 875 sold, for 9,632 on the year.
Looking at the inventory in the past, it was easy to

see why (and how) so many of the new Fusion plug-ins have been sold. The Fusion Energi often won the crown for the "most stocked" EV in the U.S., until Chevy got crazy with the Volt and Bolt EV.
With that said, Ford had been struggling to keep production on pace with demand (or rather managing inventory lower). After having almost 3,000 in stock in mid-June, that number fell below 2,000 units by the start of September, as the industry-wide summer shutdown/changeover to MY 2018 was underway. This inventory level flatlined throughout October and November.
Volkswagen e-Golf
Volkswagen e-Golf:
Congratulations Volkswagen, you win our "jackass of the year" award.
After a rocky start with the continued dieselgate fallout, the longer range 2017 e-Golf was promised to the U.S. after production started in Germanygot stronger over the year.
In fact, the electrified BMW SUV had seen sales as high as 876 units in 2016 (August 2016).
Then 2017 happened, and sales disappointed. During the first 10 months, numbers ranged from the 260s to the 480s.
With just 329 sales in October, and 333 in September, we confidently predicted the X5 plug-in would be leaving our recap list in 2018 ... then November happened. The month brought an all-time best 929 deliveries, which made the BMW the sixth best selling plug-in for the November! In December, sales are down a touch to 832.
While inventory is still low (~450 units), we're happy to be able to report that the 2018s are now steadily arriving in volume. Hopefully, enough plug-in SUVs will eventually arrive that BMW can

Want well-being? Don't negatively force your body.
I will be sharing two stories I heard from a doctor on people who tried to force their body.
1. The egg man
There was this man that had a poor background, while growing up his family could not afford to eat an egg. But later in life, things turned around for him, he had a poultry farm, and he made up his mind to eat as much egg as he could afford to eat daily.
Some few years later he had issues with his health, and after seeing his doctor it was said that he had high cholesterol level and was advised to stop eating egg for some time. But this man wouldn't have it. He felt it was a game life is tryingto play with him and he wouldn't surrender to it.
He said for over 35-years or so, he was never able to afford egg, now that he can afford it he his not ready to give it up even if it will cause him his life.
Note: This man was in his forties, as at the time of the story. But now that he could afford egg he thinks eating as much as he can consume will cover up for the depressions and rejections he felt during is poor days.
2. The wedding day lady
This lady is plus-sized, she saw a particular ready-made wedding gown, she fell in love with it and decided she must fit into it at all cost, she went to meet her doctor for the right drugs

( Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress , St. Martin's Press mass market edition, 1989, Shere Hite, p 214) Still, 23 percent of single women eventually reject monogamy ( Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress , St. Martin's Press mass market edition, 1989, Shere Hite, p 215), and seventy-two percent do indulge in casual sex. (Women and Love, St. Martin's Press mass market edition, 1989, Shere Hite, p 220)
How do men feel about this? Most men don't like the idea of casual sex. ( The Hite Report on Male Sexuality , Shere Hite, p 379) So which gender really has a "one-track-mind"? Which gender is more sexual? Which gender "only wants one thing"?

The team leader later claimed that "this crazy lady" jumped out at them and began to scold them for their lack of gender balance.
"Excuse me, are there any women in your squad?" she said, frightening the officer, who nearly put a round into her right there.

He ranked second in scoring touchdowns (9) and second in all-purpose yardage (144.5 ypg) en route to earning MEAC Playerof the Week honors once. Philyaw had the highest single-game rushing output in the MEAC last fall with a 281-yard performance versus Delaware State as he was named STATS FCS Player of the Week. The Los Angeles, Calif. native also had 234 yards versus Monmouth along with four additional 100-yard outings, including 112 yards versus Rutgers of the Big 10 Conference.
Leonard continues South Carolina State’s strong tradition of defensive play as last season’s MEAC Defensive Player of the Year honor marked the fourth consecutive season an SC State defender has earned the postseason award. He led the MEAC in tackles last season with 124, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions. The Lake View, S.C. native had 10-plus tackles in seven of SC State’s 11 games highlighted by a 19-tackle

and armed robbery. Judge Lawrence Genesen sentenced defendant to natural life imprisonment for the murder and 30 years for the armed robbery after Judge Richard Petrarca had sentenced Freeman to natural life imprisonment and then recused himself.
Madeline Mullenix disappeared on January 22, 1981. Her two sons searched for her in the days after the 22nd. One son, Vern Mullenix, spotted her 1978 Ford automobile near 123rd and Halsted Streets in Chicago on January 25. He noted that the Ford had license plates bearing ZT 906. He gave the Calumet Park police this information and they determined that the license plates belonged to Jack Burke, defendant's grandfather. Later on the 25th, Chicago police officer Patrick *892 Murphy went to Jack Burke's home and learned from him that the licenseplates on the Ford had been taken from his automobile. Officer Murphy also learned that defendant worked at the Secretary of State's facility at 99th Street and King Drive in Chicago. Mrs. Mullenix's sons again spotted the Ford on the 26th in front of 12246 S. Lafayette in Chicago. When Officer Murphy arrived there, he inspected the car and saw that it had a temporary registration permit in the name of Geoffrey Freeman. The police then broke into the car and found several items belonging to Mrs. Mullenix and Geoffrey Freeman's driver's license. Shortly thereafter, the police located and arrested Freeman. Freeman eventually led the police to a spot near 134th and Maryland Streets where Mrs. Mullenix's body was found in some underbrush. While Freeman did so, Officer

Murphy went to the Secretary of State's facility to arrest defendant.
After arresting him, Officer Murphy advised defendant of his Miranda rights and defendant responded that he understood them. After he was taken to Area 2 headquarters, where Freeman had also been taken, Detective Dennis McGuire advised defendant of his Miranda rights and defendant again indicated he understood them and agreed to talk. Detective McGuire then informed defendant of the investigation of Mullenix's murder and that he was a suspect. After defendant denied participating in the crime, McGuire told him that Freeman was in custody. Defendant admitted knowing Freeman but denied having been with him on January 22. He claimed that he was with a friend on that date. McGuire then told defendant that Freeman was claiming that defendanthad shot and killed Mrs. Mullenix, that his license plates had been found on her car, and that the friend defendant claimed being with on January 22 denied that he was with her then. Defendant then admitted having been with Freeman and stated that if his handcuffs were removed he would talk.
Defendant told the police that he and Freeman had been out looking for a car for Freeman when they observed the victim's car at a hamburger stand near 127th Street and the "expressway." Freeman, who had a gun, told defendant to stop the car. As he approached the car, Freeman noticed someone watching and stopped at a phone booth as if making a call. The victim then drove off and Freeman returned to defendant's car and told

him to follow the victim. As they were following the victim's car, Freeman told defendant to "bump" the victim's car. When defendant did so, Mrs. Mullenix pulled over. Freeman then got out of defendant's car, walked to the driver's side of the victim's car, had a short conversation with her and then shot her. Mrs. Mullenix then blew the car horn and Freeman pushed her over to the *893 passenger side and got in her car. Freeman then drove the victim's car to the Altgeld Gardens housing project and defendant followed in his car. When they stopped, Freeman took the victim's body out of the car and dumped it. When defendant realized the victim was dead, he fought with Freeman because of her death. Defendant then left togo to his friend's house and at the time had possession of the gun Freeman used to shoot the victim. Defendant hid the weapon in the heating duct of his friend's house.
After defendant made this statement, Detective McGuire contacted the State's Attorney's Felony Review Unit. Assistant State's Attorneys Farrell and Weintroub arrived at Area 2 headquarters in response. Thereafter, Farrell questioned defendant in the presence of Detective Tosello after advising defendant of his Miranda rights. Defendant responded that he understood those rights. Defendant then gave Farrell a second statement, which was consistent with the first. Farrell then spoke with Freeman out of defendant's presence and brought them together after each accused the other of shooting the victim. When brought together, defendant and Freeman still maintained the other had

defendant initialled each page, pointed out a mistake in the numbering of the pages, initialled the correction, and signed the statement.
Defendant and Freeman were charged with murder, conspiracy, aggravated kidnapping, burglary, theft, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, armed violence and armed robbery. After the causes were severed, defendant filed a motion to suppress his statements on the grounds that, inter alia, he could not knowingly and intelligently waive his Miranda rights because of his limited mental capacity.
Defendant adduced the following evidence at the hearing: when he "graduated" from grammar school in 1975, at 15, his grade level was *894 2 to 2.5; when he finished high school in 1979 his achievement level, including his comprehension, had not improved and he was still functioning at a nine-year old'slevel; administration of standardized academic achievement tests revealed that defendant had not progressed since high school; defendant's performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Test revealed that he had an I.Q. of 62, placing him in the bottom subfraction of the bottom 1% of the general population; defendant also suffers from developmental aphasia, a "neurodevelopmental" condition affecting the ability to accomplish mental tasks such as the processing of language; defendant also has difficulty learning new terms in an unfamiliar environment and suffers from a "bilateral central nervous system disorder" affecting his sensory perception; another standardized test designed to measure memory, learning, problem solving and abstraction revealed that defendant was impaired in all of those areas, especially in understanding cause and effect, and had a very bad memory; defendant is

easily confused and vulnerable to environmental manipulation; despite a very adaptive social facade, defendant has difficulty understanding what is going on; further testing and examination of defendant's school records and family history revealed that his language skills are significantly low and that he may give the impression that he understands more than he actually does.
Additionally, defense counsel hypothetically asked the clinical psychologist who tested defendant whether, based on the facts of defendant's questioning by the police, he could have understood his Miranda rights and effectively waived them. He responded that he was not sure whether repetitions of the rights would make any difference, that while defendant would have a reasonable sense of the meaning of each word there was not "one chance in a million" that he wouldcontrary, we believe *897 they clearly manifest an appreciation of his situation and an overt attempt to escape culpability for the crime of which he had been told he was under suspicion. It is also telling that defendant agreed to tell the truth only after being told his license plates had been found on the victim's car, that his friend denied being with him on the 22nd and, most importantly, only after being told that Freeman was accusing, and he heard Freeman accuse, him of shooting the victim. It is a reasonable inference from defendant's knowledge of these facts that his willingness to tell the truth was borne of a perception of the hopelessness of his predicament. Moreover, contrary to defendant's contention, it was not coercive or manipulative

The Old Cinema in Western Road, Bexhill is a building falling into dereliction, unused for the last seven years. With the participation of members of the community we collected wedding stories, dresses, photographs and memorabilia and transformed the cinema foyer into an installation about weddings. We also staged impromptu live events discovering a diversity of local talent which included tap-dancers, a wedding singer, tango dancers, lindy hop dancers, a klezmer band, a jazz band, a folk band, an accordionist, a jazz singer and a singer songwriter.

A CNSNews.com review of the database found that some of the surplus items, such as binoculars and .45-caliber pistols, can easily transition to a civilian police setting.
But other equipment clearly intended for military use has also been sent to local law enforcement agencies. For example, in March, Wyoming’s Laramie County received an MRAP from the DLA.

The Great Diversion Channel Bridge War (Part 1)
"This reclamation project is undoubtedly the most important work of its kind ever attempted in the United States, if not the whole world."
-- William A. O'Brien, chief engineer of the Little River Drainage District, 1914
It would be natural for a man in his position to exaggerate the importance of his job, but William O'Brien was sincere. He was overseeing a plan by the Little River Drainage District that was unprecedented in civil engineering history. Even in modern times the audacious project to drain Swampeast Missouri represents a staggering achievement, one that required moving more dirt than the entire Panama Canal.
The fruits of this labor are now taken for granted, with little thought given to the historic significance of the drainage project.There are no historic markers along the 957 miles of ditches or 304 miles of levees. No part of the system is designated as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark or listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
For one thing, it's hard to get excited by a series of muddy ditches or mundane levees. The most important ditch, the Headwater Diversion Channel, doesn't have an inspiring name. Unlike other reclamation projects, ours doesn't have a major shiny landmark, such as a large dam, to focus on. There's little scenic beauty at first glance: just flat ground, over a half-million acres of it, criss-crossed by ditches and levees at unnatural angles.
Here is the spot where it all begins: the western end of the Diversion Channel levee in Bollinger County

The lack of scenery, however, is balanced by a gold mine of stories -- and drama. It's impossible to build a project this colossal without opposition, lawsuits, and ugly political skirmishes, and this was no exception. Louis Houck and his family waged an epic, but mostly futile, battle against the Little River Drainage District for years.
At first Houck was in favor of the drainage project as a way to benefit Southeast Missouri. He had some reservations, but generally agreed with Otto Kochtitzky, the visionary behind the plan, about the economic boom that it could provide. But then he soon realized that the project would have a negative impact on his own finances since his family owned considerable acreage within the newly created district. Under Missouri law, thedistrict was vested with wide-ranging powers for eminent domain and taxation. Houck worried that the organization was getting too big for its britches.
In his book A Missouri Railroad Pioneer: The Life of Louis Houck, Joel P. Rhodes examines Houck's opposition to the drainage district: "Louis thought he smelled an unholy conspiracy of avarice between the Little River Drainage District, big lumber firms such as Himmelberger-Harrison and International Harvester, real estate speculators, outside investors, and their allies in county and state government."
Houck argued that the Diversion Channel, a key part of the plan, would likely cause flooding problems in Cape Girardeau County. He thought it was unfair that landowners in counties to the south would benefit from drainage while landowners near Cape Girardeau would suffer. Of course, Houck just

happened to own vast acreage along the proposed route of the Diversion Channel. He had a good point, though. Just ask anybody in Allenville or Dutchtown about their never-ending flooding problems.
Despite filing repeated lawsuits challenging the authority and constitutionality of the drainage district, Houck was never able to beat them in court. Sick of dealing with Houck's litigation, the district finally gave him over $100,000 as compensation for "alleged damages" to his land. If they thought this consolation prize would force Houck to shut up, well... it didn't work.
Houck next seized on a hotbed issue that had outraged residents of Cape Girardeau County. Thanks to a loophole in the law, the Little River Drainage District wouldn't have to pay to build bridges over the Diversion Channel. Instead, thecounty government would have to foot the bill.
After work started on the Diversion Channel in June 1914, the "bridge question" soon came to a head. Once the channel was dug, some towns would be cut off from the rest of the county unless expensive bridges were built, and nobody wanted to pay for them. Cape Girardeau County sued the district in 1915 and was granted a temporary injunction prohibiting the district from cutting through any public roads unless it agreed to build bridges. However, this order was soon lifted and the case eventually made its way to the Missouri Supreme Court.
The court was clearly uncomfortable with the law as written, saying that a "studied effort seems to have been made to render this drainage statute vague and ambiguous."

Spirits of DetroitScientists have uncovered the earliest footprints left by animals on Earth, dating back more than half a billion years.
The astonishing discovery reveals how creatures with paired legs were seemingly scuttling around over 100 million years earlier than we previously thought.
The fossilized footprints were discovered by a team of scientists studying trackways and burrows in China.
We don't know exactly what species the footprints belong to, but scientists described the creature as a bilaterian animal, like an arthropod.
This means it has paired appendages, and may have been a burrowing creature.
Experts previously believed that this type of creature appeared during the "Cambrian Explosion" around 541 to 510 million years ago.
But these new fossils date back to the Ediacaran Period, which lasted between 635 and 541 million years ago.
They were discovered by

That would mean Facebook would get the same quality of engineers in India vs.
grad students from India that are studying in US. Frankly, this is far from
the case. In fact, most grad students from India studying in the US are by far
of a higher quality than just a regular engineer in India.
From what you've written, you're equating engineers as commodities (as in they
are no different from each other), which isthe NBA had never seen before: 50 points, 16 rebounds, five assists, seven steals, and four blocks. The Pelicans, somehow, lost that game 107-102. Two days later, the Pelicans lost to the Warriors while Davis put a 45-17 on the board. Davis scoring 35 points and 15 rebounds wasn’t enough to keep his team from falling to the Bucks on Nov. 1; neither was a 34-point, eight-rebound performance against the Kings last night.

in a Drierite column. From the weight increase of the Drierite, the moisture content was determined to be 7%.
Periodically, the admission of water to the reactor was interrupted and the time interval was recorded for a significant change in hydrogen pressure to take place. Conversely, upon readmission of water to the reactor, the time was also recorded that was required for a significant increase in pressure to take place.
The response time, instantaneous at the beginning of the discharge, slowly decreased as the test progressed, as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
The total volume of hydrogen gas generated by reacting 400 gm Lithium Hydride of 95% purity with water was 1075 liters (standard conditions). The quantity of water consumed was 864 gm., indicating a complete utilization of waterof -!30 mesh Lithium Aluminum Hydride of 95% purity and covered with a Nylon membrane of 2 micron pore size.
The water for the reaction was stored in a water cartridge made up of Scott Paper Company's "WYPALL" 5701 toweling, which was positioned in the water storage compartment 42 of the hydrogen generator assembly 50 and contained 25 g water.
Immediately after assembly of the hydride and water sections of the passive hydrogen generator, hydrogen generation commenced. Initially, the hydrogen was released to purge any entrapped air. Subsequently, the pressure was allowed to build up to 20 psig., considerably higher than necessary for the operation of the PEM fuel cell. At this point pressure increase ceased, indicating water was kept from entering the hydride compartment of the generator and water

in his memorandum to the Prime Minister – 13,305 villages out of 16,682 revenue villages in the state were identified as drought-affected, and all 32 districts as receiving deficit rainfall, with the deficit ranging from 35% to 81%. He also pointed to how their drought has worsened due to Karnataka’s non-release of Cauvery water. Fifteen irrigation reservoirs in the state were at 13% levels at the end of 2016.
The Tamil Nadu government urged the Centre to sanction Rs 39,565 crore from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) for relief. Soon after Panneerselvam’s demand, an inter-ministerial central team was constituted to assess the situation in Tamil Nadu. Between January 23-25, the central team studied the damage caused to agricultural crops and took stock of the scarcity in drinking water.
Themonsoon in Tamil Nadu has been deficient by close to 70%, according to the regional meteorological department. Ground water has been exploited by up to 85% across the state, according to statistics by the agriculture department.
Kerala has also never been spurned by rain gods in over a century as in the past six months. With both the southwest and northeast monsoons not making an appearance except for a few occasional showers, ‘God’s own country’ is all set for its hardest drought in 115 years, and the worst since the state’s formation in 1956.
Meanwhile, the rains stopped in August in Karnataka. Estimates and surveys carried out by agriculture and revenue departments, 136 of the 175 taluks in the state are drought-hit and experiencing severe drinking water crisis. This is

the third consecutive year of drought in the state.
There was 33.7% deficiency in the southwest monsoon between July and September. ( File Photo )
The numbers in the three states have raised alarm bells everywhere, and what is even more worrying is what they indisputably portend -- the coming water wars that will stem from Tamil Nadu’s dependence on its neighbours.
A historic emergency in Kerala
The regional meteorological department has recorded sobering numbers. There was 33.7% deficiency in the southwest monsoon between July and September. But the real villain was the northeast monsoon between October and December that fell short by 61%.
“Both the monsoon systems failing is very rare, and a lot is due to the cyclonic systems that developed in the Bay of Bengal like Vardah, which hit Chennaistate have been affected by the drought. Crop loss stands at more than Rs 90 crore.
The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) has called upon the government to take proactive steps to preserve whatever water is available for the next few months. On October 28, at a high-level meeting chaired by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the government decided to, for the first time ever, impose a water rationing system across households and industries as recommended by KSDMA.
A 26-point agenda has been chalked out with the motto of three Rs -- ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ water. An order of preference has also been decided for use of water till May 2017, with drinking water at the top followed by use of water for household purposes and then for industrial

water level in the Krishnaraja Sagar dam touching a 15-year low, the worst-affected are likely to be Bengaluru and Mysuru, which depend on the Cauvery delta dams to meet their drinking water needs.
As per estimates from the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC), the prospect of a severe drinking water problem in the summer months will be a reality in the state. “Water rationing is the only plausible option if the body has to ensure sustained water supply to Bengaluru’s residents until June 2017,” said a senior official from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).
Preparing for water wars
Dam levels across Tamil Nadu have plunged to 4-6% of capacity, except for a few in the western districts. In the southern parts, farmers have not even sowntheir crops. In the northern and Cauvery delta districts, thousands of acres of crops have dried up. While the state government is assessing the damage and crop losses, farmers’ associations say that 50 lakh acres in the Cauvery basin alone have been destroyed.
In October and November 2016, tensions flared up between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu over the issue of sharing Cauvery river water. Tamil establishments in Karnataka were attacked and vandalised as a decade-old legal battle over sharing of Cauvery river water swung in favour of Tamil Nadu in the Supreme Court. In retaliation, Kannadiga establishments in Chennai were attacked, and Karnataka state buses burnt in Tamil Nadu.
Karnataka activists set alight trucks coming from Tamil Nadu at Hosa Guddada Halli during their protest against Tamil Nadu Govt and

“Karnataka has not released Cauvery water this year. We are going to have problems with the release of Mullaperiyar water from Kerala too. The state government has to take a strict stand,” said PR Pandian, president of the All Farmers’ Associations of Tamil Nadu Coordination Committee.

Tamil Nadu has requested Andhra Pradesh as well for more water from the Krishna river in order to meet the drinking water needs of Chennai and its surroundings. The Andhra government has taken it under consideration and is yet to respond.

The declaration will make it easier for U.S. medical facilities to handle a surge in flu patients by allowing the waiver of some requirements of Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health insurance programs as needed, the White House said in a statement.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday that swine flu has become widespread in 46 of the 50 U.S. states, a level comparable to the peak of ordinary flu seasons but far earlier and with more waves of infection expected.
Obama signed the statement on Friday night.

Elizabeth Medlevow, executive director of the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy, introduced lawyers Dean Strang and Walt Kelly, Boston College Law ’68, to a packed audience in Stuart House on Newton Campus on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Famous for representing convicted murderer Steven Avery, Strang and Kelly visited BC Law to talk about the Netflix series Making a Murderer, their collaboration with the media, and to offer inspiring words of advice to the law students.
Avery, a native of Manitowoc County, Wis., served 18 years in prison for a wrongful sexual assault conviction. After new methods of DNA testing proved his innocence, he was exonerated with the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project.

Although I pretend no expertise in the political arts, it has baffled me that the government has staked so much of its domestic credibility on something that seemed so unlikely. They seemed to cut a very big stick for others to beat them with. But I very much hope they prove me wrong.

Excellent article by C McCarthy.
Further the government should force the IBRC into liquidation by refusing to honour the PN, until the outcome of the ECJ action above is heard.
And telling Germany that its signature on the PN has the same status as the German signature on the June 29th summit communique. That Ireland was ‘ambushed’ by the ECB, just as Frau Merkel was ‘ambushed’ by the Italian and Spanish prime ministers on June 29th.

Firstly I would like to thank BBC radio which allowed myself and Paul Krugman to simultaneously address the people of the UKis closed, at least for the moment, while the EU gets on with the crucial programme of work set out by the conclusions of the European Council and, notably, agreement on the multi-annual financial framework 2014-2020.
This will inevitably end up in a conflict with the UK on whether its current rebate should continue. As it has been rolled over continuously since 1984 because the UK has a veto in the matter, the likelihood must be that it will. The real political conflict will relate to the 75% reduction in the share of the cost of the rebate attributable to Germany (and the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden), the resulting substantial tab being picked up, for the most part, by France, Italy and Spain (!).

In 2008 there were 781k people in their 20’s living in Ireland. In 2012 the figure was 618k. The general population actually increased in this time. They are leaving in their droves.
Recently 2 sociologists wrote a task report for Task

They did excellent work in compiling the Data from the CSO and proceeded to almost ignore the obvious findings.
The untold story was not is gender discrimination it was age discrimination.
in 2007 the % of 20-24 employed was 67% for females and 74 % for males. In 2011 it was 48% and 47% respectively. an average decrease of about 32% the decrease for 15-19 yearolds was was over 50% down
The general populationthe opposition of the Bundesbank and its president, who is taking every opportunity to campaign against it. The Bundesbank is seen by most Germans as the guardian of monetary and financial stability. When its head mounts the barricades to tell the German public that the ECB is on a path that will destroy Germany’s stability, he is organising German hostility to the ECB and the euro. Sooner or later, this hostility will be unstoppable and may lead to German exit from the eurozone.
The spectre of such a German exit will paralyse the ECB when action is necessary. Investors will sense this, making the OMT ineffective.
This guerrilla warfare by the Bundesbank president is based on a failure to understand the role of a central bank in a modern economy.

Last week, a surreal scene went viral on Hong Kong social media. An army of police officers clad in sky blue uniforms and armoured with shields descended on an underpass in the suburbs of Tai Po, glancing awkwardly at passers-by and journalists. Adorning the “Lennon Wall”, one of many walls in Hong Kong named after the John Lennon wall in Prague, where Czech youths painted subversive graffiti, were multi-coloured Post-it notes lovingly pasted by supporters of the city’s anti-extradition law movement. They contained words of encouragement for protesters that have been tear-gassed, injured, and wrestling with depression since June.
The police were there to inspect and remove posters that bore the details of a colleague whose personal information had been plastered on the wall after he was caught onas far as they know, everyone around them who became a police officer was in it for the money.
Last year, I interviewed a police officer who had worked several years as a journalist. When I asked his reasons for changing career, the officer, who gave his name as Will, said the job offered a much better salary. This financial incentive gives an insight into why so many people, perhaps even some who secretly supported political movements, end up finding themselves on the other side.
Pop culture, too, has played a pivotal role in glorifying disciplinary forces. The cop film is a distinct genre in Hong Kong cinema. Titles including Infernal Affairs (2002), Connected (2008), Cold War (2012), are beloved by Hong Kongers. They weren’t made as police propaganda, and

For decades he has been a key advisor to the U.S. bishops’ conference on peacemaking and international security.

The plaintiff carried on its manufacturing operations at three plants located at Frankford, Pennsylvania, Northwood, Pennsylvania, and Staten Island, New York. On April 1, 1936, the plaintiff's executive committee, by resolution, decided to transfer the operations of the Northwood plant to the Staten Island factory, and to build at the latter place a new factory, at an estimated cost of $170,000. The resolution provided for subsequent consideration of the transfer of the Frankford operation to Staten Island. It was estimated that if both these operations should be moved, operating economies of $110,000 a year would be achieved, and that the removal of the Northwood plant alone would cost some $24,000 and would produce annual operating economies of $30,649.

The summer of turbulence involving LAX started when controllers at a Palmdale center that handles high-altitude flights completely lost communication with pilots for several minutes on July 18 after a backup power system inexplicably went down.
FAA investigators are still trying to determine what caused the outage, which affected airports throughout Southern California. Controllers have used the backup power system several times since the outage without a problem, Gregor said, as a precaution when there was high demand on the main power grid.
On July 26, a system designed to alert controllers at the LAX tower to potential collisions on the ground was partially disabled minutes before a turboprop plane narrowly missed a regional jet that had strayedtweeted: 'It seems that bombs of the British Air Force over children of Mosul and Raqqa has just came back to #Manchester.'
TWITTER POLICY ON PRO-ISIS POSTS Twitter announced it had shut down 125,000 accounts with alleged links to ISIS last year. Twitter also said it increased the size of teams policing pro-ISIS posts as well as improving the algorithms to finding 'harmful content'. As of December 2015, the website banned 'hateful content' while its policy on aggressive posts stated: 'You may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism.' Twitter did admit the mechanism in identifying pro-Isis tweets was not a 'magic algorithm' capable of pinpointing genuinely terrorist content online. Advertisement

an ice hockey player based on the league in which he plays (e.g. first league, second league, etc.) and by his participation in national competitions (Ice hockey Extraleague (ELH), Russian continental league (KHL), Canadian-American National Hockey League (NHL) and others). The aim of our study was to compare the somatic variables of players in the Russian KHL and those of the top Czech ice hockey league, the ELH, who regularly participate in playoff games. The variables of the KHL players can be considered representative of ice hockey players, since the KHL is regarded by professionals to be the second-best ice hockey league in the world, after the Canadian-American National Hockey League. Therefore, we believe that our findings will allow us to assess the effect of somatic variables onsports performance of professional ice hockey players.
In addition to the goaltender, there are 2 positions in ice hockey, the forward and defenseman. A secondary aim of this study was to compare the variables of the players based on their position in the game to determine if it affects somatic characteristics. This information may aid coaches in the selection of players with characteristics appropriate for a particular position and also for the development of training protocols specific to the position.
The aim of this study was to evaluate basic morphological variables of contemporary elite ice hockey players and to compare the variables of KHL players with those of ELH players. The secondary aim was to compare the monitored variables with regard to the game position of the players.

KHL players. The practical significance of those variables was also confirmed: it was high for BF (kg) and intermediate for FFM (kg). As for the other parameters, no statistically significant differences were observed.
Segmental analysis of the ELH and KHL forwards revealed that fat was evenly distributed on the right and left extremities, with slightly more fat on lower extremities. There were no statistically or practically significant differences in fat distribution among individual segments, although the ELH forwards had more fat on their trunks (2.09 %).
The BM, BMI, FFMI, and FFM of the ELH defensemen were significantly lower than the values for the KHL defensemen.

The unidentified man had stolen a trouser from a woman's line along Upanga Road, according to an eyewitness, Ndugu Denis Magubila. An enraged crowd pursued the man into a vacant lot, where they surrounded him and forced him to untire the stolen trouser, which he had already worn inside his own worn-out trouser.
"The man stayed still for some minutes, forcing himself to shit," said Ndugu Magubila. "Then he grasped the shit with both hands and smeared it across his body."
No one was able to arrest the already-smelling middle-aged thief, who escaped on foot toward the Atlantic Ocean, presumably to have a bath.----As to the second story, the New York Daily News had a picture of her,Urban League of Hudson County to honor Jersey City's 'Rhudy' Snelling
