role, including filling various vacancies at the State Department, helping plot talks with North Korea and maintaining a unified message with the president.
Here are five challenges for Pompeo:
Building up morale at the State Department
The tenure of Pompeo's predecessor, Rex Tillerson, was haunted by a narrative of discontent and low morale among the department's career officials. Now Pompeo faces the challenge of flipping that storyline.
There are signals that he may be able to do that. Pompeo's stewardship of the CIA has reportedly convinced some State Department officials that he has the managerial skills needed to lead America's diplomatic mission.
Still, others have continued to voice concerns that Pompeo could act as a type of "yes man" for Trump, who campaigned on an "America first" vision of U.S. foreign policy andhas often appeared skeptical of more traditional means of diplomacy.
In his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this month, Pompeo acknowledged the desire of department officials to be "empowered."
"In a recent series of department briefings with team members at State, they all, to a person, expressed a hope to be empowered in their roles, and to have a clear understanding of the president’s mission," he said.
Also key to Pompeo's success at the State Department is whether he can help fill dozens of vacant positions. Of the 161 Senate-confirmed positions at the State Department, 61 still have no nominee, according to figures tracked by The Washington Post and the nonprofit group Partnership for Public Service.
Pompeo acknowledged during his confirmation hearing that the vacancies were a source

of low morale at the agency and vowed to help fill the jobs.
"I’ll do my part to end the vacancies, but I’ll need your help," he told lawmakers.
Navigating talks with North Korea
Even before his State Department confirmation, Pompeo exercised his diplomatic duties when he was quietly dispatched to Pyongyang earlier this month to help lay the groundwork for a possible meeting between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
The White House on Friday released images of Pompeo and the North Korean leader shaking hands while facing each other, with Trump administration officials casting the meeting as a positive diplomatic step toward a summit between Trump and Kim.
But looming over his work on Trump's potential May or June summit with Kim are questions about Pompeo's views on regime changein North Korea.
During his confirmation hearing this month, Pompeo told senators that he had "never advocated" for such a shift.
But that claim appeared to contradict a remark he made last summer, when the then-CIA director suggested during a security conference in Aspen that the U.S. pursue a way to "separate that regime from this system."
"The North Korean people I'm sure are lovely people and would love to see him go," Pompeo said at the time.
Managing tensions with Moscow
Officials acknowledge that relations between Russia and the West have sunk to their lowest point in decades, punctuated by both sides expelling scores of diplomats over the poisoning of a former double agent in the U.K. last month that Western nations have blamed on Russia.
The deterioration in relations has also been

spurred by Moscow's backing of pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine, state-sponsored meddling in foreign elections and the Kremlin's support of Syrian President Bashar Assad amid that country's years-long civil war.
While the Trump administration has taken several actions viewed as unfriendly toward Moscow, the president himself has often appeared reluctant to openly criticize his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian government.
Pompeo, on the other hand, has been more openly critical of Moscow. He made that position clear in his confirmation hearing, blaming the poor condition of U.S.-Russia relations on "Russian bad behavior."
That may help Pompeo to cast himself as a counterweight as the Trump administration seeks to strike a balance between being overly critical of an increasingly ambitious Russia and appearing too eager for warmer relations.
Key decisions in theprepares to make a decision on the Iran deal, the U.S. is also hurtling toward another major diplomatic move: opening a new embassy in Jerusalem.
The president's decision to transfer the outpost from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem has been a sore spot for Palestinians, whose leadership cut off contact with the White House after the December announcement.
But as CIA director, Pompeo reportedly developed a good rapport with both Israeli and Palestinian intelligence officials, which could help him quell tensions with the Palestinians.
Shoring up diplomatic relations
Tillerson's often-fraught relationship with Trump gave rise to questions from foreign governments about whether the secretary of State enjoyed the confidence of the president — or even spoke for the administration.
During his tenure at the CIA, however, Pompeo quickly became a close confidant of Trump,

often delivering intelligence briefings at the president's request. That could lend the secretary of State more weight abroad than his predecessor.
Yet despite Pompeo's perceived closeness to Trump on key policy issues, the secretary of State still faces the unique challenge of his diplomatic work being potentially rendered null or dramatically altered on a moment's notice by a presidential tweet.
Tillerson, for example, battled to stake out a clear position on North Korea when Trump ordered his top diplomat in a tweet to "stop wasting his time" after Tillerson suggested the U.S. was trying to open up lines of communication with Pyongyang.The Question:
A chemical first prepared by Felix Hoffman in 1897 and patented
in 1899 became one of the most globally popular drugs of all time.
Name it.
The Answer:
Thanks for the trivia, but you're going to have to do better
than that to stump us.
German chemist Felix Hoffman is credited with creating today's
aspirin. In 1897 he
was using the common pain reliever of his day, sodium salicylate, to
help his father get rid of his arthritis pain. But his father
experienced a common side effect of the drug — stomach
irritation.
So Hoffman attempted to come up with a less acidic formula for
the drug, which traces its earliest uses back to the Greek physician
Hippocrates who used a
powder from the bark of willow trees that contained Salicin, the
parent of sodium salicylate.
His work led to the creation of acetylsalicylic

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy suffered its deepest contraction since early 1982 in the fourth quarter, shrinking at a much worse-than-expected 6.2 percent annual rate as exports plunged and consumers slashed spending.
A month ago, the Commerce Department had estimated the economy shrank at a 3.8 percent pace in the fourth quarter.
But downward revisions to inventories, exports and spending led it to issue a much weaker figure on Friday, just shy of the 6.4 percent rate drop seen in the first quarter of 1982, when the economy was in a recession that lasted 16 months.
“They (numbers) show a very depressed state of the economy at the end of last year and point to it continuing to be equally bad in the first part of 2009,” said Bill Cheney,of the developed world is also in recession,” said Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Securities International in New York.
Analysts said the fourth quarter would probably be the weakest period for the U.S. economy, but warned that prospects for the first three months of 2009 are also bleak, with data pointing to another deep contraction.
“This still sets the stage for a 5 percent drop or more in the first quarter, which would mark the largest back-to-back decline since 1958,” said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto.
The government has intervened with a $787 billion package in spending and tax cuts to staunch the bleeding, and there is guarded optimism the economy could turn around in the second half of the year.

Wet or dry: Butterflies reverse sex roles in extreme seasons
In the case of the African butterfly Bicyclus anynana, females develop ornate wings and court males if they spend the larval stage in a dry, cool environment. The reverse occurs, according to Kathleen Prudic from Yale University and colleagues, when the butterflies are exposed to wetter, warmer environments.
“As expected, female Bicyclus anynana in warmer moister conditions that mimic the wet season in the native African range were more likely to mate with males with ornamented wings,” explained a Yale University press release. “However, the roles were reversed in cooler drier climates. Females played the role of suitors and flashed their eye spots to choosy males. When scientists studied the wing spots, which reflect light in the UV range, invisiblePharmacy practice and education in the People's Republic of China.

It wasn’t long ago that Khost Province in eastern Afghanistan was a counterinsurgency success story for the US military. Journalists were encouraged to arrange reporting trips to the relatively calm showpiece region, but generally eschewed it in favor of areas where there was more fighting.
In the past two years of the Afghanistan war, however, violence in Khost has been on the rise as incidents of attacks and roadside bombings have crept upward.
Just what happened is something military analysts have been wrestling with for some time. This week, Col. Viet Luong, the US Army commander of the 3rd Brigade Combat team of the 101st Airborne Division, suggested that corrupt or inept local leadership combined with an influx of insurgents fleeing east from new NATO offensives in the south contributedBrandfolder

Montagna Symposium on the Biology of the Skin
Skamania Lodge
Sunday October 13, 2013
By Guest Bloggger Sancy Leachman, MD, PhD
Welcome to the final day of the Montagna Symposium on the Biology of the Skin 2013. The dinner speaker last night was John Parrish (in absentia via video), complemented by symposium co-leaders Barbara Gilchrest, Rox Anderson, and Steve Jacques. It was powerful. John took us through a tour of his adventures in the development of photo-related innovations, from the development of effective sunscreens to therapeutic lasers, and he shared social context along the way. The sustained level of energy and impact he has brought to our field is remarkable. What was clear is that he has been simultaneously driven and humbled by his role as an innovator in dermatology; and theuser may support the instrument case in two hands while depressing the sliding clamp member to permit the clamp members to be positioned around a pole. When the pressure is released, the spring causes the clamp to close on the pole. A camming lever permits the user to provide positive latching of the clamp member from movement, and to engage an anti-rotation element with the pole. An interlock prohibits activation of the camming lever while the movable clamp member is being depressed.”
Rasmussen further confirms Danby's interpretation of clamps used to attach medical instrument devices on IV poles, when he wrote, “In the hospital environment, it is often necessary to provide medical instrumentation at the patient bedside.

Saed Bannoura
File - Palinfo.com
March 2, 2012
The "Land Research Center" issued a press release, on Friday, stating that 120 Palestinians will be displaced and prevented access to their farmlands due to an Israeli military plan, and a military training drill being conducted in the Jordan Valley.
The center stated that eighteen Palestinian families received military orders, issued by the Israeli Army, ordering them to stop the construction in Khirbit Ibzeeq area, north east of Tubas.
The families were ordered to stop all agricultural and civil constructions in the area under the pretext that it falls under "Area C" as classified by the Oslo Peace Agreement, therefore, they need to obtain construction permits from the so-called Israeli Civil Administration, and not from the

Palestinian Authority.
The Center further stated that, besides displacing the families, including at least 66 children, the new military order was issued amidst extensive military trainings in the area, an issue that had a direct impact on the produce of agricultural lands that belong to the residents of the Tubas district.
The area has already been impacting by Israel’s illegal policies, especially by preventing agricultural produce from being transported to other parts of the occupied West Bank; the Plaines Area in the Jordan Valley is known as the "Fruit Basket of Palestine".
It is worth mentioning that military drills in the area have already led to the destruction of more than 400 Dunams (98.84 Acres) of Palestinian farmlands.
Head of the Ibzeeq Projects Committee, Ali Turkman Sawafta, member of the Al-Hroub family,one of the families that is heavily impacted by the Israeli violations, has been living in Khirbit Ibzeeq since 1961, six years before the 1967 six-day war in which Israel occupied the rest of Palestine, and that the residents have official documents proving they are leasing the lands from their Palestinian owners.
Sawafta added that the Israeli occupation insists that the lands in question are "state lands", an issue that violates International Law as those lands belong to residents displaced during the war.
Khirbit Ibzeeq is only 8 kilometers away from Tubas; it is considered one of the Bedouin areas in the Jordan Valley where the residents live in extreme poverty, without access basic services including health care, running water and electricity. They bring their water from Tubas by tanks

Marking films are recognized in the art as laminates of a self-supporting polymeric film facestock or backing such as polyvinyl chloride (PCV) and a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) for application to substrates, especially vertically oriented substrates. The exposed surface of the PSA of the laminate is in contact with a release liner or the surface of the facestock which is provided with a release coating. Marking films are manufactured in the form of large rolls of the laminate then cut to size depending on the application. Applications may range from automotive pinstripping to large printed signs or individual indicia in the form of or containing letters, numbers, logos and the like.
There are many requirements for a laminate to be used for a marking film. Avery important requirement is durability of the laminate of the polymeric film and adhesive for a period of months or years. The laminate of the polymeric film facestock and adhesive must remain functional for an expected period of time and after that period of time, the laminate must have retained the ability to be cleanly removed from the substrate without leaving an adhesive residue. Removal typically occurs with destruction of the facestock namely, where the facestock is no longer reusable. Accordingly, the adhesives are typically regarded more as "permanent" than as "removable".
Polyvinyl chloride films that have been used for marking the film application have varied in durability depending on service life. Short life vinyl films are used for promotional sign applications where an expected service life is six

Arguably, shooting the video of Romney was the least high-tech thing Prouty did. Once he decided to make the video public, he was extremely strategic. He degraded the video to try to obscure his position. Initially, he requested that everyone in the video be blurred out but Romney. "I only wanted his face to be seen, his voice to be heard," Prouty said.
Then, once the video of Romney was live, Prouty Google-bombed him.
Google-bombing Mitt Romney with his own words
"My goal was that if you put 'Mitt Romney' into Google, the video would be the first thing that came up," Prouty told Schultz. Prouty worked on his own to maximize the number of links to the video on both Mother Jones and YouTube, through Twitter andtwo weeks, it dominated the presidential race. Romney offered conflicting responses and explanations. And Prouty watched from the sidelines as millions of people wondered who had shot this video.
Despite political operators and a ravenous news media trying to track him down, despite the host of the fundraiser threatening legal action, despite offers of huge sums of money if he would come forward to tell his story, Prouty was able to remain anonymous. And the video was everywhere. It couldn't be stopped.

A PIONEERING pilot scheme in Scottish secondary schools to tackle harassment, abuse and violence by men against women is to be rolled out to further council areas.
The £40,000 project – developed by Strathclyde Police's Violence Reduction Unit – was introduced last year in two schools in Inverclyde and Edinburgh.
Under the roll-out it will be taken up by secondaries in North Lanarkshire, the Borders, Perth and Kinross and East Ayrshire – with the involvement of more councils planned for the future.

This report describes the state of the MDI system in the United States and was based on the results of the 2004 BJS Census of Medical Examiner and Coroner Offices (CMEC). The CMEC was sent to almost 2000 medical examiner and coroner (MEC) offices. These offices conduct death scene investigations, perform autopsies, and determine the cause and manner of death.
The 2004 CMEC had an 86% response rate with 1717 of 1998 MEC offices responding to the survey. The CMEC data showed that nearly 1 million deaths were referred to MECs in 2004, which accounted for approximately 40% of all U.S. deaths for that year. The census included a total of 42 questions and sections that inquired about the following areas: administrative information, expenditures, workload, specialized death investigations, recordsassess current needs and opportunities "to support high‐quality postmortem toxicology testing among decedents with possible exposure to drugs, chemicals, and other toxins in the workplace, home, environment, and transportation sector." As stated in the 2016 OSTC report, the minimal participation of MEC offices in federal data collection efforts will negatively impact the MDI data systems and impair the nation's ability to address the public safety threats. The Organizational of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) formed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Institute of Justice, Department of Justice have worked to identify existing high‐quality standards in discipline specific topics, including medicolegal death investigation and toxicology, to facilitate the development of new standards by standards development organizations such as the AAFS Academy Standards Board.

Instead, she confronted him directly… and he proceeded to threaten her.

Boris opens new London Overground link
The Mayor opened the new link on Monday. Image: MayorWatchBoris Johnson was joined by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin and Transport Commissioner Peter Hendy today for the launch of the London Overground extension between Clapham Junction and Canada Water.
Since the Overground was created in 2007, investment in new trains, refurbished stations and visible staffing has seen the service achieve high levels of passenger satisfaction.
The new link connects Wandsworth Road, Clapham High Street, Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Queens Road Peckham and Surrey Quays to the service and offers commuters in South East London a range of new connections.
Mayor Johnson said it would “help serve those rapidly regenerating parts of East London where the job market is expanding and will support further growth.”
The Mayor, who isLast week, the propaganda machine of the Albanian government went into overdrive: A Harvard professor had written about the economic “miracle” which the country is going through. As we soon explained though, Ricardo Hausmann, the current director of the Center for International Development (CID) at the Harvard Kennedy School for Government, had not reached his conclusion due to some meticulous academic research. He had been handsomely paid for his services by the Open Society Foundation, which is closely linked to the Rama government. Writing a propaganda piece was simply the cherry on the top.
Unfortunately for his credentials and his boosters, he couldn’t have done a worse job. Many of his claims appear out of thin air, with no data or facts to back them up. Economic growth theory,

sector was also over-leveraged in the sector before the 2008 and 2012 crisis. Policy reports written during the period underlined the need to diversify the sources of growth in the economy and move away from construction as a major player. In fact, diversifying the sources of growth was the major part of Hausmann’s speech to ministers and ambassadors a year ago. Yet it seems like Albania is repeating the same cycle.
Second, unlike the first real estate boom cycle in 2004–8, this latter one is no longer being financed by the financial sector. As we saw before, lending to the private sector has decreased, with construction being one of the main culprits. European-owned banks especially are under strict guidance to stay away from the sector. This has raised suspicionsnon-union plastic products manufacturing facility in Beech Island, South Carolina.

In early 1999 Tenneco was planning a reorganization to integrate maintenance employees into the production work force. Under the reorganization, maintenance employees like McClain were slated to be reassigned to new positions for which they had to be recertified. In February 1999, worried about how McClain might react to the reorganization in light of past problems,1 Tenneco's Human Resources Manager Ron Clark contacted Joseph Berley, Tenneco's director of occupational health services. Berley told Clark he did not see any need to take immediate action

A few days later she encountered Training Coordinator Linda Milton and asked Milton if McClain worked maintenance on A crew and was told that he did. During their conversation, Wethington told Milton she had observed McClain in his yard staring up into the trees and that on the day after the reorganization was implemented, he looked "agitated" and was "walking around in his yard `throwing his hands in the air'" NLRB Dec. at 5, 2002 WL 1769085 at *9 (quoting JA 282).

About the same time Catherine Bing, who had been assigned to train McClain in his new maintenance position, reported to Milton that McClain was not reading hiswork reference guide but instead wanted her to explain his new job responsibilities to him. Milton told supervisor Doug Boynton who met with McClain during the week of July 19. According to Boynton, McClain seemed unfocussed and agitated and kept changing the subject and complaining that supervisor Joe Powell had been "`picking on him.'" NLRB Dec. at 6, 2002 WL 1769085 at *10 (quoting JA 211). McClain described to Boynton a conversation with Powell during which Powell was continuously "sliding his fingers up and down a nail" and told Boynton Powell had been putting nails in McClain's tires.

Facts
On October 4, 2002, Olivas, while housed at the Mineral Wells unit, damaged two teeth when a locker lid fell, striking him in the mouth. Olivas testified that he reported this to an officer, who told him to fill out a sick-call request, which Olivas completed the next day and submitted on October 6th. Olivas also maintains he told another officer, Chris Little, of the incident. The sick call request reported two broken teeth. On October 9th, Olivas was seen by a nurse who completed a Patient Care Protocal form. The nurse recorded in that Olivas reported pain of 10 on a scale ofand that she viewed each dental injury as either a priority two-urgent care or an emergency that would require treatment in an emergency room. She also acknowledged that no inmate had ever been advanced on the dental list.
Olivas was first seen after the October 4th accidental injury to his teeth on October 9th, with the nurse's note indicating that he had then been placed on the "dental list." Also, in response to Olivas's October 13th sick call request, the same nurse indicated again that he was on the dental list. Yet, Olivas was not taken to the dentist until October 30, 2002. Records of dentists Baum and Key for their treatment of Mineral Wells unit inmates in the relevant time period indicate that between October *258 13 and

Married to MI
Mike Risko Music has been a one-stop shop for musicians who want to listen, learn and play in the Ossining, N.Y., area since 2010, when the store grew out of a music school run by Mike and Miriam Risko. Miriam came on board in 1997, two years after Mike first opened his music school, and in the intervening years, the bond between its owners has continued to strengthen. In fact, they even got married in their shop.
“We are probably the only owners in the industry who ever got married in their music school,” said Miriam. “In 2000, we walked down the aisle we created between lesson studios one and two. Mike was teaching lessons in his tux just a few hours before we said ‘I do.’”

For Sid, CJ and Gortak the adventure began by being unceremoniously deposited in the middle of the hamlet of Narom. They were supplied with a rough pack of gear, courtesy of the Queen, and left to wait for their commanding officer. Valtor made his way to Narom under his own power, meeting the commanding officer, and fellow war veteran Handle.
Handle Riverbottom appears to understand the tenuous nature of his command, but still managed to round up the 4 player characters and bring them to The Drowned Goat to meet the remaining members of The 52nd Strike, a sullen half elf named Strix and a human woman who has not introduced herself.

Post brawl CJ noted Handle slip something into the pocket of one of the local toughs. A small pouch of coins that CJ quickly liberated from the thug and returned to the party so that they could continue drinking. After Handle went to bed, the party quickly broke up, although it appears that everyone has decided to stick with the war effort for the time being, with the possible exception of CJ who disappeared shortly after Handle went to bed.At least 12 people were ejected from a Chevy Suburban SUV carrying illegal immigrants after it crashed following a high-speed chase with U.S. Border Patrol vehicles near the Texas-Mexico border, a sheriff said Sunday, adding that five illegal immigrants were confirmed dead.

Other committee members also were critical of the petition, especially the lack of a public input process, such as the format the group has used in discussing and recommending a series of revisions for submission to the Select Board. None of the seven committee members supported the mayoral format as specified in the referendum question.
The Select Board expects to consider a package of changes — many minor language revisions but also a local option tax provision and other more significant alterations. The board will then decide which revisions to place before voters at the March meeting.
The charter group will hold its last scheduled meeting this evening at the town offices and plans to file a report with recommendations to the Select Board by the end of December.
Town Managermayor, he said, "the voters of Bennington would be in charge" and could decide at the polls "whether he or she is doing a good job."
The mayor idea has surfaced every several years in town, with supporters arguing it would increase accountability in government and provide a more visible point person to promote Bennington. Bethel has been involved in past efforts to convince voters to make the switch — all of which were defeated at the polls.
The mayoral format was rejected in March 1998, when 1,345 voters favored it and 1,687 voted against, and in March 2003, the format went down to defeat again, 1,730 votes to 1,062.

In honor of the new trailer for “Godzilla King of the Monsters”, I decided to cover the field of Godzilla and related model kits. There have been many issued over the years and re-issued in the last few years, both of the big green guy and his allies and foes.
I went to Scalemates and did a search for these model kits and there are quite a few of them. I also looked on eBay and saw the prices of some of the kits available. Needless to say, the classic kits do command higher prices.
There are kits of Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidra, various ships designed to defeat Godzilla, Mecha Godzilla and more, all in different scales (ha!) and skill levels. Some like the Aurora kits which have beenIn 1989, a little movie called Batman directed by Tim Burton, swept the nation while bringing The Caped Crusader and his ultimate foe, The Joker, to the big screen for a new generation of fans. Michael Keaton landed the titular role and Jack Nicholson signed on to portray the most popular and psychotic villain in comic book history. Not only did Nicholson nail the role, but his quirky performance stole the show, especially in certain scenes that we will never forget. He started out as mobster, Jack Napier, and completely transformed himself into the Clown Prince of Crime right before our eyes. It was a cinematic feat that not many actors can handle. Not only was he a kooky criminal, but he was easily the funniest cinematic version

Jack Napier In Batman, The Joker started out as local mobster Jack Napier - a cranky, grumpy, mean-spirited man who for some reason enjoyed flipping a deck of cards around his office. The deck of cards did save him from being killed, as it stopped a bullet from entering his heart because they were in his chest pocket. Napier was a vain, humorless criminal with his fancy suits and trophy girlfriend. As a youngster, he turned to a life of violent crime on the streets of Gotham and alluded to murdering his own parents. Speaking of parents, when Napier was climbing the ladder of the local crime organization, he and his partner incrime mugged Bruce Wayne's parents at gunpoint, shooting them both in cold blood. He look at a young Bruce and asked, "Tell me, kid, have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?" As Napier ran from the scene he told a devastated Bruce that he would see him around. Little did he know that he would meet up with Bruce Wayne years in the future as Batman and The Joker. Napier transformed into The Joker when his boss Grissom, ordered a corrupt cop to murder him at Axis chemicals for stealing his girlfriend. However, Batman (who actually tried to save his life) and Commissioner Gordon got in the way, preventing Napier from being killed, but he still ended up falling into a vat of acid.

Overshadowed Batman For those of us that were lucky enough to see Batman in the theater, we couldn't stop starring at The Joker. He was so mesmerizing that our eyes refused to focus on anything else while he was on the screen. Nicholson's character naturally demanded attention with his loud, colorful, and psychotic demeanor. So much so, that we forgot that Batman was also there. Half the time we were just trying to figureout what on earth he was saying or doing, like when he and his goons did a fabulous song and dance number while vandalizing a museum. The purpose of this ridiculous scene was purely to entertain the audience, bring in a lighter tone for a few minutes, and allow Nicholson to define his Joker. Tim Burton clearly had his own creative vision for the film and Jack Nicholson's Joker brought it to life. In the end, he clearly overshadowed our hero. Think back - What scenes do you remember the most from Batman? Are they mostly Joker scenes or Batman scenes? Point proven. Some were even rooting for the villain instead of the hero because his performance captured our attention more than Batman's did. prevnext

had on Young. From his childhood home in a town in North Ontario to his first recording in Winnipeg to his final moments before setting out for Los Angeles and skyrocketing to fame, this is Neil Young's Canada.
Toronto General Hospital
Nov. 12, 1945, 6:45 a.m.
Neil Percival Young is born to parents Scott and Rassy Young. As he sings on "Born in Ontario," "I was born in Ontario/ Where the black fly bites/ And the green grass grows/ That's where I learned most of what I know."
33 King St. W., Omemee
1949-1953
"There is a town in North Ontario," Young sings on "Helpless." His hymn to Omemee, Ont., was originally released during his stint with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1970. It's one of his most iconic songs, which is fittingconsidering this is where Young spent parts of his early childhood. While Young's family was constantly on the move due to his father's job in journalism, this small town in the Kawartha Lakes region managed to leave an indelible mark on the icon. "I think Neil would probably agree if there's anywhere either of us would point to as home, it would be Omemee," his brother Bob says in Shakey: Neil Young's Biography. Young even urged the writer of the book, Jimmy McDonough, to go to Omemee. As he put it, "they remember me like I don't."
When the two-acre property that Young called home for seven years, until he was eight, was recently listed for sale, the realtor was sure to include a picture of Young sitting on

Young penned "Sugar Mountain," the song that Joni Mitchell once described as "a lament for his lost youth." When he later spoke about his early band, the Squires, and its time in Fort William in Neil Young: Don't be Denied: the Canadian Years, Young said, "We did 'Farmer John' really good back then in Fort William. We used to break loose in it. That was one of the first times I ever started transcending on guitar. Things just got onto another plane, it was gone. … That's when I started to realize I had the capacity to lose my mind playing music."
Blind River
June 1965
Young was driving to Sudbury in the summer of 1965 when his beloved 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, "Mort" (a.k.a. "Mortimer Hearseburg"), broke down just outsideBlind River. The hearse was immortalised in the song "Long May You Run," which was also the title of the album he recorded with Stephen Stills, released in 1976. Ironically, they broke up only nine days into the Long May You Run tour, with Young informing Stills of his departure via telegram: "Dear Stephen, funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach. Neil."
David Rea's Apartment, Yorkville Avenue, Toronto
1960s
During his Yorkville coffeeshop days, Young got high for the first time, as he reveals in the recently uncovered song "Hitchhiker." "You didn't see me in Toronto, when I first tried out some hash/ smoked some then and I'll do it again/ if I only had some cash."

about 100,000 fans turn out in Columbus for OSUs spring game? It's not the rest of the Country's fault that in the South they have nothing better to do than watch an intrasquad scrimmage in April.:up:
The SEC clearly has regained it's throne as the best conf in CFB but the ACC is getting better. it's taken some time since expansion but finally it appears to be nearing the top conferences.
You're making my point kinda....
Ole Miss played WF in the second game of the season....Jevan Snead's SECOND career start.....the SECOND game of Houston Nutts offense...
Of course Ole Miss had potential....they had top 10 potential.....WF didn't....I knew Ole Miss was going to beat TT.....I called it 2 months before anybody even knew they would end up playing each other inexcept continue to produce teams that underachieve.
Butch Davis built Miami up after probation, and he's slowly building UNC up as well.
The only coach I think that argument actually works for is the Bowden that was just at Clemson. I don't think Virginia's ever had a great deal of talent on their team, but it's a credit to Al Groh for still developing a few great players out there.
Randy Shannon and Paul Johnson haven't been at their programs long enough to judge. Given the enormous level of success Randy Shannon has had at every other thing he's ever done with his life, it's hard to imagine he's going to struggle now. The talent he's brought in is incredible, and the fact that he's already developed competing teams is a

I'll tell ya this much though.....I'd take Paul Johnson over Randy Shannon 7 days a week and twice on Saturdays.....he's a better coach....
...and as Namor pointed out....don't ever bring up National Championships and Miami vs. Alabama in the same sentence like that again.....that's like comparing a canoe to an air craft carrier....
With all due respect to Bobby Bowden....because I love the guy....(he's a Bama guy too)....Joe Paterno's accomplishments are much more impressive to me...
The ACC was a VERY weak conference for a long time....I think Bowden won like 14 or 15 CONSECUTIVE conference titles.....he had absolutely no competition in the ACC for the longest....there was FSU and nobody else...
No wonder the ACC wanted to bring in the likes of BC, VT, and Miami....because the conference hadyears at a time, and it's very easy to say Paterno is better than Bowden now, because Bowden is slumping for the first time in, uh ever, and Paterno has had nominal success. I think both are very impressive coaches, but Paterno NEVER dominated the college football landscape like Bowden did in the 90s.
Namor

Just back it up three years..Bama won it in 78,79 ...Ga won in 80
another SEC team.
Bowden or Miami never dominated a Big Time Conferance (ACC please)
(the Big Least) like the Bear.
Both Fla. St and Miami were offered invatations to join the SEC when
S.C. and Ark joined,but they declined because they knew their chances
for a national championship would be greatly hampered.
Bet they would like that CBS/ESPN money now.
Hell,Miami can't even fill up a stadium

An RCMP officer trains a member of the Haitian National Police. Under the RCMP's watch, the HNP would kill thousands. During the same period, Coderre lauded the RCMP's efforts.
Upon his visit to Montreal last week, prominent Haitian lawyer Mario Joseph accused Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre of lying to the Canadian people. Coderre has denied the accusations, dismissed Joseph's request for an apology, and refused to answer questions about his role in Haiti.
In a Canadian Press article which appeared in the Ottawa Citizen, Vancouver Sun, and various other newspapers across the country, Joseph was quoted as saying: "We can't discuss Canada's harmful role without explaining to you the just-as-harmful role of Mr. Denis Coderre and his lies to the Canadian people."
Joseph was referring to the fact

that in February of 2004, Coderre had told the press that Canada's position was to keep elected President Aristide in office as an armed rebellion attacked government offices and moved toward Port-au-Prince, the capital. "We think Aristide must remain in place," Coderre told journalists on February 19th.
However, the Canadian position changed dramatically on February 29, when Canadian armed forces assisted the US military in kidnapping President Aristide, flying him out of the country, at which point he was exiled for several years. Contrary to his claims on the 19th, the Canadian government had begun planning the invasion at least nine days prior to Coderre's statement.
In the months after the coup, Coderre repeatedly met with the unelected, US-appointed Prime Minister Latortue in Port-au-Prince and in Montreal. During this time,Latortue's government was undertaking killing thousands of political opponents, according to numerous human rights reports. Thousands more were imprisoned, and according to a study that appeared in the medical journal Lancet, tens of thousands of women were raped. The Haitian National Police, who carried out the assassinations and massacres, were acting under the direct oversight of agents from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. During this period, the Latortue regime enjoyed the full diplomatic, political, logistical and financial backing of the Canadian government.
Coderre's response to claims? "I have nothing to apologize for," he told the Canadian Press. He added: "I am a friend of Haiti."
According to Nydia Dauphin, Coderre even refers to himself as "Montreal's Haitian Mayor" within certain circles. Dauphin, who was honoured by Coderre and others as

a Black History Month Laureate this year, published an article at the end of January entited Don't Mistake Montreal's Mayor For a Friend of Haiti. Dauphin wrote: "Thanks to Coderre's solemn skills, gross violation of human rights have characterized the post-coup regime in Haiti since 2004, resulting in the loss of thousands of innocent lives; a tragedy that has largely gone unnoticed in Canadian media."
A day after the Canadian Press article appeared, veteran Gazette reporter Sue Montgomery followed up with a feature article entitled Secrecy shrouds Canada’s role in Aristide’s ouster from Haiti. In it, Mario Joseph is quoted as saying “Coderre should apologize because he used Canadian money to cause disorder, chaos and misery.”
But Coderre, Montgomery writes, "refused to answer questions about his role in 2004."

Malato in his De La Commune A L’Anarchie (From the Commune to Anarchy) remembered Richard as “the most jovial, the most smiling of grocers. Yes a grocer, but he is so little that! All the refugees came there because he expressed, without sectarianism, the most crimson opinions”. Victor Richard had been a grocer in Paris when he was caught up in the events of the Paris Commune and he had fought heroically on the barricades. He was a close friend of Zéphyrin Camélinat who had also fought on the Commune barricades up to the last moment.
Victor Richard was then in his fifties. His grocer shop appears to have been a roaring success. He stocked wines from Anjou “sparkling and non-sparkling”, cornichons and mustards from his native Burgundy, andPottier, author of The Internationale, was another who dedicated one of his songs Les Affameurs (The Starvers) to the benevolent grocer. For the “generous Burgundian” was always willing to extend credit to revolutionary exiles and much of the money he made was spent on the cause in one way or another, including funds on at least one occasion for French revolutionaries hounded in Britain to enable them to leave the country. Victor Richard was also a good friend of that icon of Italian anarchism, Errico Malatesta.
Malato refers to the area as a “small anarchist republic”. His first visit to Richard’s grocery store when he was in search of Louise Michel is described thus:
"Is M. Richard here?" I asked the phlegmatic René, his trusted assistant.
René examined me with a

the police in 1894, a list of phrases useful to French exiles in London were discovered. This may refer to Malato’s little work, The Pleasantries of Exile, where in addition to ferry time-tables between England and France, a number of helpful phrases are included. Here are some of them.
With the attentats of Vaillant, Ravachol and Emile Henry in France, surveillance from the French state on the exiles in London increased. The afore-mentioned Inspector Prosper-Isidore Houillier of the Sûreté, with his assistant Fedeé secretly arrived arrived in London, with the connivance of Inspector Melville of Special Branch. “Le vil Melville“ (the vile Melville) as he was known to the exiles was a sworn enemy of anarchism and he was once again breaking the rules in allowing the French copsto operate in London. Houillier seems to have spent a lot of his time eating at the best London restaurants, apparently all at the French public’s expense. On the track of the anarchist Meunier, the cops were given a tip-off that he was holed up at 30 Charlotte Street. On arriving there they were surrounded by a large crowd of anarchists, and serenaded with revolutionary songs accompanied by the barrel-organ played by the colourful anarchist Zo d’Axa. Uniformed police had to be sent in to get the cops out of the sticky situation.
On another occasion Houillier and his SB pals followed removals vans around London that they had mistakenly linked to anarchist fugitives. On yet another occasion Houillier tried to pass himself off as an anarchist but was

father was the Blanquist Alcindor Lapie, who had blown himself up in his bomb factory during the siege of Paris by the Prussians in 1870. The director of the anarchist paper Père Peinard, he fled to London after being sentenced in 1892. His shop became the main meeting point of French anarchists in the capital including Ernest Delebeque, François Duprat, Jules Corti and Pétronille Altérant.
Alexandre Cohen, the Dutch Francophile and erstwhile anarchist has left this account of Lapie’s shop in his book Van anarchist tot monarchist (From Anarchist to Monarchist) where every evening at 5pm many French anarchists headed to Lapie’s shop where he was returning from the depot with a heavy burden of French, Italian and Spanish newspapers. Putting them down with a “Han!” of relief “heLapie of being an informer at the end of 1895 and his group put up a series of posters around the area publishing these accusations. As a result of these accusations, Lapie was eventually forced to leave London for Switzerland where he remained active as an anarchist. There were suspicions among the “associationists” that Parmegianni was himself a provocateur (never corroborated from Italian police records) and it was certainly the behaviour of him and his associates that decided Malatesta and others that any work was in the future impossible with the anti-organisationalists. Parmeggiani dropped anarchism completely at the end of the 1890s, though he remained involved in illegal activity, like faking expensive antiques and acting as an international receiver of stolen antiques.

every two to three years, so these sorts of Blue Moons come about that often.
Very rarely, a seasonal Blue Moon (third of four full moons in one season) and a monthly Blue Moon (second of two full moons in one calendar month) can occur in the same calendar year. For this to happen, you need 13 full moons between successive December solstices for a seasonal Blue Moon – and, generally, 13 full moons in one calendar year for a monthly Blue Moon.
This will next happen in the year 2048, when a monthly Blue Moon falls on January 31, and a seasonal Blue Moon on August 23.
Then 19 years later, in the year 2067, there will be a monthly Blue Moon on March 30, and a seasonal Blue Moonon November 20. In this instance, there are 13 full moons between successive December solstices – but only 12 full moons in one calendar year and no February 2067 full moon.
The idea of a Blue Moon as the second full moon in a month stemmed from the March 1946 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine, which contained an article called Once in a Blue Moon by James Hugh Pruett. Pruett was referring to the 1937 Maine Farmer’s Almanac, but he inadvertently simplified the definition. He wrote:
Seven times in 19 years there were – and still are – 13 full moons in a year. This gives 11 months with one full moon each and one with two. This second in a month, so I interpret it, was called Blue

The Disciplinary Committee has suspended Philadelphia Union midfielder Haris Medunjanin an additional two games (three games total) for using insulting and abusive language and exhibiting aggressive behavior toward a match official during the 19th minute of Philadelphia's match against Atlanta United on June 2. Medunjanin has also been issued an additional fine of an undisclosed amount. Medunjanin, who originally received a red card for his actions, served the first game of his suspension during Philadelphia's match against Toronto FC on June 8. He will serve the additional two games of his suspension during Philadelphia's matches against the Vancouver Whitecaps on June 23 and LAFC on June 30.
Curtin public criticism of officials
Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has been fined an undisclosed amount by MLS Commissioner Don Garber forthe preliminary hearing on August 10, 1973. The information was filed in Superior Court on August 16, 1973, and the arraignment held five days later, at which time the defendant waived his right to a speedy trial and a trial date of October 15, 1973, was set. That date and subsequent settings of November 1, and November 14 were vacated, the trial eventually commencing on November 15, 1973. The record is silent as to the cause of these delays.
On November 8, 1973, the defendant notified the public defender that he was discharged because of an alleged lack of interest in the case. This message was orally confirmed by defendant's retained counsel, Henry Florence, on November 14. Mr. Florence's motion later that day for substitution of counsel and a

Beatles The Worst Musicians In The World Claims Quincy Jones
(Radio.com) Michael Jackson Thriller producer Quincy Jones gave an epic interview to GQ recently packed with captivating tales and pointed jabs from his storied life and career.
Now, Jones has spoken to Vuture for another wide-ranging and jaw-dropping conversation, and this time he has none less than The Beatles in his sights. "That they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing m———–s," Jones said when asked of his first impressions of the Fab Four. "Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don't even talk about it."
Jones goes on to detail a recording session for Ringo Starr's 1970 solo debut, Sentimental Journey, and working on the song,"Love is a Many Spendoured Thing." According todetails are expected after the vessel arrives in Europe in mid-September, company sources revealed.
It remains to be seen what this voyage means in terms of further developing shipping on the Arctic route and if container shipping can become viable on this hitherto niche trade route. "This is not the large container ship traffic that will change global shipping, once it becomes commonplace through the Northern Sea Route. But it is another small step in that direction," explains Michael Byers, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia.
Maersk initially voiced interest in sending a container ship along the NSR when it met with Russian officials in November 2017. The company’s CEO Søren Skou

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is an executive branch entity within the Executive Office of the
President. One of its primary purposes is to assist the President in the development of the budget. The Bureau of the
Budget, which was the predecessor of OMB, was created by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921.

Supplemental Materials. Additionally, Presidents’ budget submissions have often
included supplemental materials, such as legislative proposals for budget process
reform, a brief guide to the budget that is intended for members of the public, or
a summary of proposed spending reductions or program consolidations. Finally,
unforeseen circumstances may require the President to modify the
recommendations or other information contained in the President’s budget
submission to Congress. Under Title 31 of the U.S. Code, the President may
revise the budget recommendations or submit supplemental budget requests to
Congress at any time during the year.39 When the President makes new budget
recommendations for the current fiscal year, the changes are referred to as

U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Analytical Perspectives, Budget of the United States1950 changed the
deadline to the 15th day of each regular session of Congress.4142 The Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 included two changes to the deadline for submission.4243
The first established a deadline of February 5, 1986, for FY1987. The second changed the
deadline to the first Monday after January 3 beginning with FY1988. Finally, the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990 extended the deadline to the first Monday in February of each year.4344
The 1990 change to the deadline for submission, which first applied to FY1992, made it possible
for an outgoing President, whose term ends on January 20, to leave the annual budget submission
to his or her successor. The three outgoing Presidents since the FY1992 change—George H. W.
Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush—exercised this option. Accordingly, the budget

submitted in 1993, 2001, and 2009 by the three incoming Presidents (William J. Clinton for
FY1994, George W. Bush for FY2002, and Barack Obama for FY2010). In each of these three
cases, the first budget submission of the incoming President was submitted after the statutory
deadline.4445
Under current law, the President is required to submit the annual budget on or after the first
Monday in January, but no later than the first Monday in February.4546 Prior to the official
transmittal of his budget to Congress, the President typically presents the major budget proposals
in the annual State of the Union address, usually in late January.
Table 1 provides a list of the deadlines for submission, the first fiscal year to which each deadline
applied, and the statutory source for each deadline.

The President is also required to submitearly, between 1 and 13 days before the deadline.
Delayed Submission of the President’s Budget
The President’s budget has been submitted after the statutory deadline on 1718 occasions. In 6 of
these 1718 occasions, Congress extended the deadline by statute.4647 On average, the deadline was
extended by 13 days. In all but one of these occasions, the President’s budget was submitted by
the extended deadline. In the 1213 instances when the budget was submitted after the original or
extended deadline, it was delayed, on average, 3433.54 days.
The President’s budget submission was delayed more than 30 days after the deadline on six
occasions: FY1989, FY1994, FY1997, FY2002, FY2010, and FY2014. The delays for FY1994,
FY2002, and FY2010 occurred in presidential transition years. In those three instances, the
budget submission was due fewer than three weeks after the start

President Clinton transmitted a message to Congress, along with a thematic overview of his
FY1997 budget, which stated that the budget would be delayedbecause of “uncertainty over 1996
appropriations as well as possible changes in mandatory programs and tax policy.”4849 President
Obama submitted the FY2014 budget on April 10, 2013, a total of 65 days after the deadline. The
Acting Director of OMB attributed the delay to ongoing negotiations over fiscal issues, including
enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) on January 2, 2013, and the continued
uncertainty resulting from the impending sequestration.4950

It's been over a year since Duane Ludwig left his post as head coach of Team Alpha Male, and frankly, Chad Mendes is sick of hearing about it.
Ludwig, who continues to coach UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, ignited a minor furor in July when he said that Dillashaw was the only one on the Sacramento-based squad "who actually wants to be champion." Ludwig ultimately apologized for his comments, but still reiterated that there was something different about Dillashaw from the rest of Team Alpha Male, and the only thing separating Mendes from his dreams of gold is three simple points to his game that Ludwig could fix.
"I don't know what the hell Duane is talking about," Mendes said Tuesday on The MMA Hour. "I'm tired of hearing aboutin late 2012 and received widespread acclaim for his work with the squad, even winning Coach of the Year honors at the 2013 World MMA Awards. The team experienced a memorable run of success under his leadership, one which culminated in its first ever UFC championship when Dillashaw upset Renan Barao to claim the bantamweight title.
Tensions between Ludwig and team leader Urijah Faber eventually led to Ludwig's departure in mid-2014, and while he left on largely good terms with a majority of the team, that relationship has taken a hit over the past few months.
"When he got the offer, he basically said it's like coming to a garage full of Ferraris and Lamborghinis," Mendes said. "He's going to fine tune some things and those cars are going to

For the millions of sufferers who can't keep their eyes from watering or their throat from itching, this spring feels like the worst allergy season ever – and, according to allergists in Canada and the United States, that's not far from the truth.
Through a combination of circumstances – a snowy winter, a delayed spring – North Americans are being deluged with pollen.
Normally, allergens are released at different times. Oak, birch and other tree types are the first to release their pollen. They're followed by seasonal trees such as ash and poplar, before grass releases its pollen in June to early August.
Story continues below advertisement
This spring, the timing is off by two to three weeks due to a lingering winter which, in turn, has led to an amalgamation ofpollens. Clifford Bassett, the medical director of Allergy & Asthma Care of New York, described how the pollen from early and mid-spring trees mixed with the grass pollen in "a triple whammy … to create misery and suffering."
Surveys, including one conducted in 2010 for the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, have shown that more than eight million Canadians have an allergy with symptoms of one kind or another – coughing, constant sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose. These are caused by the body's immune system, which releases the chemical histamine to respond to incoming particles of dust and pollen. Research says we inhale several hundred grains of pollen with each breath.
"Whenever you have a fall and winter with a lot of precipitation, the soil is moist," said Dr.

which now includes a north and south toll lane — to end before operating the route. The toll lanes opened in October after years of delays.
Lee said the new route will provide much-needed relief to Round Rock drivers.
"Riding the bus prevents wear and tear on tires, helps with air pollution and gives them a chance to catch up with a friend, take a nap or do some work on the way," she said.
The express route follows Cap Metro beginning service in Round Rock in late August. According to the agency’s online reports, there were 2,193 boardings during the first nine days.
While other Cap Metro routes provide service throughout Round Rock, Route 980 is the first to transport riders to Austin.
The first three local routes include Route 50, whichtravels between Austin Community College’s Round Rock Campus and Howard Station, and includes stops at the Round Rock Outlet Mall, H-E-B Plus on University Boulevard, the Sunrise corridor, downtown Round Rock, the Round Rock Transit Center and La Frontera.
Route 51 travels between St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center and Dell’s Round Rock Campus with stops at Round Rock High School, Success High School and downtown.
Route 52 travels from Tech Ridge Park and Ride to Round Rock Transit Center with limited stops that include the Art Institute of Austin and several employment centers.
Bus passes may be purchased at the Transit Center, capmetro.org or by downloading the agency’s mobile app. Scheduled times and other information is also available.

The aortic repair commenced after the cesarean section. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated normal biventricular function, a tricuspid aortic valve with mild insufficiency, and sinus of Valsalva diameter of 38 mm. The femoral vessels were deemed unsuitable for arterial cannulation due to size and possible involvement of the dissection. Therefore, central aortic cannulation was utilized. Direct cannulation of the ascending aorta along the lesser curve was accomplished using a Seldinger technique, with TEE confirmation of the guidewire within the true lumen. A dual-stage venous cannula was introduced into the right atrium via the atrial appendage and CPB was established. A retrograde cardioplegia catheter and a superior vena cava (SVC) cannula

Retrograde cerebral perfusion via the SVC cannula was established at 10 mL/kg/min. Upon direct inspection of the aorta, the intimal tear was noted to be at the sinotubular junction (STJ), with slight extension into the noncoronary sinus. The sinuses were not significantly dilated and the aortic valve demonstrated normal leaflet coaptation. The repair was performed with replacement of the ascending aorta and hemiarch from the STJ, with resuspension of aortic valve commissures. A 28-mm Gelweave graft (Vascutek Ltd, Scotland, UK) was used for the repair. Total circulatory arrest time was 30 minutes. Following repair, intraoperative TEE revealed a normal aortic valve and biventricular function. The hysterotomy was again inspected and appeared hemostatic. TheProjected Workforce of Psychiatrists in the United States: A Population Analysis.
This analysis quantified and assessed the projected workforce of psychiatrists in the United States through 2050 on the basis of population data. With use of data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (2000-2015), American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (2000-2015), and U.S. Census Bureau (2000-2050), the psychiatrist workforce was projected through 2050. Two established psychiatrist-to-population ratios were used to determine the estimated demand for psychiatrists and potential shortages. The psychiatrist workforce will contract through 2024 to a projected low of 38,821, which is equal to a shortage of between 14,280 and 31,091 psychiatrists, depending on the psychiatrist-to-population ratio used. A slow expansion will begin in 2025. By 2050, the workforce of psychiatrists will range from a shortage

All of which are listed below, should you fancy a peruse. There's obviously some real gems in there, and it's highly likely you'll find something to your tastes in a roster that now includes a serious number of real-life, thoroughbred racing cars.
Forza Motorsport 6 comes out on September 18 in the UK, and Turn 10 announced that it's just gone gold. The latest instalment marks the 10th anniversary of the series, and introduces night racing and wet weather for the first time in Forza's history.

Film Review: “The Past”
Feb 17th 2014
The last film directed by Iranian writer-director Ashgar Farhadi was called A Separation, a masterful movie that justifiably won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2012. That title would also be appropriate for his latest film, The Past, set in Paris. A sense of separation slices through every scene in this quiet, revealing domestic drama.
It’s the sort of movie where the first scene forecasts the tone to come: In an airport, a Parisian woman, Marie (Berenice Bejo), is trying to get the attention of her ex-husband Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa), whose plane has just arrived. But a slab of soundproof glass divides them; her calls and gestures fall on deaf ears. Eventually he finds his way to her, but this opening could

Monday Night Football Recap: The Stuff I Believe
I am one of those fans who looks at the NFL schedule as soon as it comes out and checks the Monday night games to see how many times my team — The Redskins — will be playing. It's a holdover from the days when Monday Night Football was a network entertainment investment, a real event. I guess I still live under the illusion that game selection for Monday night means something, like it's some vote of competitive confidence from the cognoscenti in the commissioner's office. This year, I actually thought that it was respectable that the Redskins got one game on Monday, since no one expected much. The tools at Sports illustrated projected them to win two games. With aISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani Taliban has suffered its second major split in three months, with militant leaders this week confirming the emergence of a hard-line splinter group inspired by the success of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The new group, known as Jamaat-e-Ahrar, is composed of disaffected Taliban factions from four of the seven tribal districts along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, according to a video released by the group. Counterterrorism experts said the group was effectively controlled by Omar Khalid Khorasani, an ambitious Taliban commander with strong ties to Al Qaeda.
Mr. Khorasani’s faction, which is based in the Mohmand tribal agency near Peshawar, had emerged as one of the most active Taliban elements this year. It is believed to have carried out a bombing in Islamabad

Mr Obama had already made clear his revulsion over the video. No one has seriously suggested that the US government had anything to do with this absurd production. The President of the United States cannot be held responsible for the thoughts, opinions and actions of 300 million Americans. Nor, in a free society, can he ban his citizens from expressing themselves, even if they sometimes do so in crass and offensive ways”.

Contrary to mainstream-media reports, the new president is already taking a tougher stance on Iran and a friendlier stance toward Israel than his predecessor.
By the end of his second week in office, President Donald Trump has discovered it is actually possible for him to do something that garners applause from the mainstream media. Though Democrats seem more interested in futile gestures of “resistance” to his government than in normal opposition, all Trump had to do to gain a modicum of respect from the New York Times and other denizens of the liberal echo chamber was to preserve rather than reject the policies of his predecessor. Or at least that was how the Times and the talking

Flow-back water is a waste water stream that flows out of the well after the hydraulic fracturing process is completed. Production water is a salty waste water stream that flows out of the well in conjunction with the oil and or natural gas that the well is producing. Flow-back and production water commonly contain propant sand (sand that is used to hold production reservoir fractures open for oil and gas flow, after the hydraulic fracturing pressure is released), completion chemical and oil mixtures that form semi-solid gels, hydrocarbons, and production reservoir formation solids. Normally, flow-back and production waste water is transported, by truck, from the well to a disposal

he lodged with an apothecary and his family. Then in 1659 Isaac had to leave to help his mother on the family farm. Isaac Newton was not in the slightest bit interested in running a farm and in 1660 he went to the grammar school again. In 1661 he went to Trinity College Cambridge. Isaac Newton obtained a BA in 1665. In 1666 Isaac Newton was forced to flee Cambridge because of an outbreak of the plague and he returned temporarily to Woolsthorpe. He returned to university in 1667.
In 1667 Isaac Newton was elected a fellow of Trinity College. The same year he was elected a member of the Royal Society. In February 1672 a paper he wrote about light and colours was read to the society. In1669 Isaac Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics. In the meantime, in 1668, he invented a reflecting telescope.
In 1689-1690 Isaac Newton was MP for Cambridge University (in those days Cambridge University had its own MPs). He became an MP again in 1701-1702 but he did not take an active part in politics.
Principia Mathematica
Isaac Newton published his masterpiece Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687. It set out his theory of gravity and his laws of motion.
In 1695 Isaac Newton was made Ward of the mint and in 1699 Master of the mint. He resigned his fellowship and professorship at Cambridge in 1701.
In 1703 Isaac Newton became president of the Royal Society. He was knighted in 1705. Meanwhile in 1704 Isaac Newton published another great work about light.

Short Biography of Albert Einstein
Born in Germany 1879, Albert Einstein is one of the most celebrated scientists of the Twentieth Century. His theories on relativity laid the framework for a new branch of physics, and Einstein’s E = mc2 on mass-energy equivalence is one of the most famous formulas in the world. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and the evolution of Quantum Theory.
Einstein is also well known as an original free-thinker, speaking on a range of humanitarian and global issues. After contributing to the theoretical development of nuclear physics and encouraging F.D. Roosevelt to start the Manhattan Project, he later spoke out against the use of nuclear weapons.
Born inGermany to Jewish parents, Einstein settled in Switzerland and then, after Hitler’s rise to power, the United States. Einstein was a truly global man and one of the undisputed genius’ of the Twentieth Century.
Early life Albert Einstein
Einstein was born 14 March 1879, in Ulm the German Empire. His parents were working-class (salesman/engineer) and non-observant Jews. Aged 15, the family moved to Milan, Italy where his father hoped Albert would become a mechanical engineer. However, despite Einstein’s intellect and thirst for knowledge, his early academic reports suggested anything but a glittering career in academia. His teachers found him dim and slow to learn. Part of the problem was that Albert expressed no interest in learning languages and the learning by rote that was popular at the time.
“School failed me,

and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam.” Einstein and the Poet (1983)
At the age of 12, Einstein picked up a book on geometry and read it cover to cover. – He would later refer to it as his ‘holy booklet’. He became fascinated by maths and taught himself – becoming acquainted with the great scientific discoveries of the age.
Despite Albert’s independent learning, he languished at school. Eventually, he was asked to leave by the authorities because his indifference was setting a bad example to other students.
He applied for admission to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His first attempt was a failurebecause he failed exams in botany, zoology and languages. However, he passed the next year and in 1900 became a Swiss citizen.
At college, he met a fellow student Mileva Maric, and after a long friendship, they married in 1903; they had two sons before divorcing several years later.
In 1896 Einstein renounced his German citizenship to avoid military conscription. For five years he was stateless, before successfully applying for Swiss citizenship in 1901. After graduating from Zurich college, he attempted to gain a teaching post but none was fortcoming; instead he gained a job in the Swiss Patent Office.
While working at the Patent Office, Einstein continued his own scientific discoveries and began radical experiments to consider the nature of light and space.
He published his first scientific paper in 1900,

and by 1905 had completed his PhD entitled “A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions. In addition to working on his PhD, Einstein also worked feverishly on other papers. In 1905, he published four pivotal scientific works, which would revolutionise modern physics. 1905 would later be referred to as his ‘annus mirabilis‘
Einstein’s work started to gain recognition, and he was given a post at the University of Zurich (1909) and, in 1911, was offered the post of full-professor at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague (which was then part of Austria-Hungary Empire). He took Austrian-Hungary citizenship to accept the job. In 1914, he returned to Germany and was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. (1914–1932)
Albert Einstein’s Scientific Contributions
Quantum Theory
Einstein suggested that light doesn’t just travel as waveseclipse, British astronomer and physicist Sir Arthur Eddington was able to confirm Einstein’s prediction. The news was published in newspapers around the world, and it made Einstein internationally known as a leading physicist. It was also symbolic of international co-operation between British and German scientists after the horrors of the First World War.
In the 1920s, Einstein travelled around the world – including the UK, US, Japan, Palestine and other countries. Einstein gave lectures to packed audiences and became an internationally recognised figure for his work on physics, but also his wider observations on world affairs.
Bohr-Einstein debates
During the 1920s, other scientists started developing the work of Einstein and coming to different conclusions on Quantum Physics. In 1925 and 1926, Einstein took part in debates with Max Born about the

nature of relativity and quantum physics. Although the two disagreed on physics, they shared a mutual admiration.
Exile
As a German Jew, Einstein was threatened by the rise of the Nazi party. In 1933, when the Nazi’s seized power, they confiscated Einstein’s property, and later started burning his books. Einstein, then in England, took an offer to go to Princeton University in the US. He later wrote that he never had strong opinions about race and nationality but saw himself as a citizen of the world.
“I do not believe in race as such. Race is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.”
Once in the US, Einstein dedicated himself to a strict discipline of academic study. He would spend nothe harmony of all being”. But, he followed no established religion. His view of God sought to establish a harmony between science and religion.
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
– Einstein, Science and Religion (1941)
Politics of Einstein
Einstein described himself as a Zionist Socialist. He did support the state of Israel, but became concerned about the narrow nationalism of the new state. In 1952, he was offered the position as President of Israel, but he declined saying he had:
“neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings.” … “I am deeply moved by the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed that I cannot accept it.”
Albert Einstein was involved in many civil rights movements such as the American

campaign to end lynching. He joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and considered racism, America’s worst disease. But he also spoke highly of the meritocracy in American society and the value of being able to speak freely.
On the outbreak of war in 1939, Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt about the prospect of Germany developing an atomic bomb. He warned Roosevelt that the Germans were working on a bomb with a devastating potential. Roosevelt headed his advice and started the Manhattan project to develop the US atom bomb. But, after the war ended, Einstein reverted to his pacifist views. Einstein said after the war.
“Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.”(Newsweek, 10 March 1947)
In the post-war McCarthyite era, Einstein was scrutinised closely for potential Communist links. He wrote an article in favour of socialism, “Why Socialism” (1949) He criticised Capitalism and suggested a democratic socialist alternative. He was also a strong critic of the arms race. Einstein remarked:
“I do not know how the third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth—rocks!”
Einstein was feted as a scientist, but he was a polymath with interests in many fields. In particular, he loved music. He wrote that if he had not been a scientist, he would have been a musician. Einstein played the violin to a high standard.
“I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my

Short Biography of CV Raman
Dr. Chandra Shekhar Venkata Raman, popularly known as C.V. Raman, is one of the most distinguished scientists of the 20th century. It was he who during a long sea voyage to Europe in 1921 as the representative of the Kolkata University at a science meet, wondered why the water in Maditerranean Sea was such a dark shade of blue.
And the time came when he gave the answers to this apparently simple question and won the world’s most prestigious award-the Noble Prize in 1930.
Dr. C.V. Raman was born onNovember 7, 1888 in an orthodox South Indian Brahmin family in tirchurappalli, Tamilnadu. His father’s name was Chandra Shekhar Aiyer who had special interest in science and mathematics. His mother Parvati was a pious lady. Raman was a very brilliant student since his early childhood.
He passed his matriculation at the age of 11 and at 15 graduated from the Presidency College, Chennai. He was the only student to get a first class. He completed his Master’s degree in Physics from the same college and broke all previous records.
After this Raman took up a job in Calcutta (now Kolkata) as an assistant accountant general. While there, he was able to sustain his interest in science by working in his spare time, in the laboratories of the Indian Association for

the Cultivation of Science.
After ten years of Government services, Raman resigned to work as a professor of physics at the Kolkata University. He stayed there for fifteen years. It was the period when he received world wide recognition for his work in optics and scattering of light his pioneering research on the molecular scattering of light, the phenomenon that causes changes in the nature of light when it passes through a transparent medium-solid, liquid or gaseous-culminated in his getting the Noble Prize for Physics in 1930.
He carried out different types of experiments and researches on the sun rays passing through water, transparent ice blocks and other media. For these experiments, Raman used a mercury arc and a spectrograph. Raman obtained some new lines in the spectrum on passingthe sun rays through different substances. These lines were called ‘Raman Lines’ and the discovery of ‘Raman Effect’.
Raman was awarded the degree of ‘Doctor of Science’ in 1921 by the Kolkata University and in 1929; the British Gorvenment in India conferred on him the title of ‘Sir’. He was also awarded Lenin Peace Prize in 1958. The government of India also honoured him with the highest honour of the country,’Bharat Ratna’ (Jewel of India) in 1954.
In 1943, Raman set up the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore. There he served as its director and remained active until his death on November 21, 1970, at the age of eighty two. He was proud to be an Indian. Till the day he died, he did not give up his traditional Indian

Australia. The beagle then sailed to Mauritius and South Africa before sailing north into the Atlantic. Finally the Beagle arrived at Falmouth on 2 October 1836 and two days later Darwin arrived in Shrewsbury.
Charles Darwin then wrote several books about his voyage. The first was Journal of Researches, which was an account of his voyage. He also wrote coral reefs, which was published in 1842, Volcanic Islands (1844), and Geographical Observations on South America (1846). Darwin gained a reputation as a brilliant geologist.
Meanwhile Charles Darwin was influenced by a geologist called Charles Lyell. In 1830 he published a book called Principles of Geology. In it Lyell proposed a theory called uniformitarianism. He believed that rocks and the landscape were formed over vast periods of time by very slowprocesses. However Lyell did not believe that one species of animal could change into another.
Charles Darwin disagreed. By 1836 he believed that species of animals could change. In July 1837 Darwin began to write notes about his theory. He called his notes The Transmutation of Species.
In October 1838 Darwin thought of a way in which one species could change into another. He noticed that individual members of a species vary. Furthermore all animals are competing with each other to survive. If the environment changed in some way, say if a new, faster predator appeared then any herbivores that could run slightly faster then other members of its species would be more likely to survive and reproduce. Any herbivores that ran slightly slower than most would be more likely

to be eaten. Slowly a new, faster herbivore would evolve. This was later called the survival of the fittest.
Meanwhile on 11 November 1838 Charles Darwin proposed to his cousin Emma Wedgwood. They married on 29 January 1839. As well as getting married Darwin was becoming more and more famous as a scientist. On 24 January 1839 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
Darwin’s first son was born on 27 December 1839. Altogether he had 10 children.
For years Charles Darwin studied nature looking for evidence to support his theory. For much of that time he suffered from ill health.
Then in 1858 Charles Darwin received a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace. It turned out that Wallace had independently devised a theory of evolution by natural selection.
Therefore Wallace’s workPlants under Domestication (1868). He also published The Descent of Man in 1871. In it he explained his ideas about the evolution of man. In 1872 Darwin published The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Darwin’s last book was on earthworms and it was published in October 1881 shortly before he died. Charles Darwin died of a heart attack on 19 April 1882. He was 73.

Short Biography of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Shrinivas Ramanujan, in his short life-span, proved to be a mathematical genius comparable to the likes of Karl Jacobi and Leonhaed Euler. Despite lack of formal higher education and battling against heavy odds of poverty and ill health, his mathematical genius flowed. His contribution in the fields of elliptic functions,

recall approaching him for help in Mathematics. This he would readily provide enthusiastically. Though they knew that his grasp of the subject was much more, they could not fathom the depth of his intellect.
It was after he entered Town High School in Kumbakonam in 1898, that his genius took wings. In 1900, he began working on summing up of geometric and arithmetic series. Interestingly, in 1902 when he was taught cubic equations he went right ahead and evolved his own method to solve quartics. Going a step further he tried solving quintics by the same method but failed to do so.
The year 1902 marked a turning point in Ramanujan’s life. From the local library he got hold of a copy of a book on pure mathematics by GS Carr entitled Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Mathematics. The book was a collection of around 6,000 theorems and formulae with short proofs. Written in a concise manner, by a tutor, the book served to unfold uncharted fields for Ramanujan’s intellectual quests. Carr’s book was fairly outdated being published in 1856. Carr himself was never renowned as a great mathematician. But his book definitely was a scholarly and lively text written by one who obviously enjoyed mathematics. It not only provided the required thrust to Ramanujan’s genius but the influence of the book was to be felt in his works even after he had received much wider exposure to current theories.
In 1904, when he was just 16, Ramanujan began investigating the series of S (1/n) and calculated

On Tuesday, US Ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg said Washington wants to continue its presence in the Philippines, and cited a need to curb militancy in southern parts of the country.
Ambassador Goldberg told ABS-CBN that the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group and several other militant organizations were posing a “very serious” security threat on the southern island of Mindanao.
Analysts say the United States is very worried after President Duterte’s pronouncement of his country’s “separation” from the US and deepening alliance with China.
“We see a very great change in Philippine policy. Instead of serving as a military base for the United States to attack China, I think they are going to reduce their military ties to the UnitedNational Bank of Illinois.

had been scheduled to work on both April 29, 1998 and April 30, 1998. Despite the doctor's excuse, faxed to and received by Diagnostic Center, Heald treated Abraham's absences on April 28 and April 29 as unexcused. Heald explained this treatment on the facts that Abraham did not have the doctor's note faxed to Abraham's direct supervisor, Kain, and did not call Kain prior to two hours before his shift began. (Docket Entry No. 14, Ex. 1).
On April 30, 1998, Abraham's wife, Karen Abraham, went to Diagnostic Center to pick up Abraham's paycheck. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.). At that time, Heald's secretary confirmed that Heald had received the April 28, 1998 medical work excuse and told Karen Abraham to have her husband call Kain. When Abrahamhis shift was to begin. Diagnostic Center asserts that on April 13, Abraham called after his shift had started; on April 21, Abraham's wife called after Abraham's shift had already begun; and the doctor's second work release, which was faxed before the April 29 and April 30 absences, was insufficient because it was not sent to Kain and because Abraham did not also telephone Kain.
*814 3. The Evidence of Pretext
Abraham has submitted evidence: (1) that Kain and Heald made remarks disparaging Abraham's religious beliefs, evidencing discriminatory animus; (2) that Kain and Heald treated his absences differently than the absences of employees who did not openly display their religious beliefs; and (3) that Kain and Heald made the decision to terminate his employment, a result that the attendance policy

absences to be emergency absences and that he properly followed the emergency phone-in procedure. Kain testified that an unexpected "illness" can qualify as an emergency and that the absence of an employee who becomes sick on the way to work, turns around, goes home and calls work upon arriving at home would be considered excused. (Docket Entry No. 21, Kain Dep.). As to the fact that on April 21, it was Abraham's wife who called in, Abraham testified that on at least two occasions, he received calls at work from Kain's wife, asking Abraham to notify Heald that Kain would not be at work that day because he was ill. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.).
Abraham gave advance, written notice of his absences in the form of afaxed doctor's work excuse on the second two occasions. The summary judgment record shows that Diagnostic Center had actual notice, more than four hours before his absence, that Abraham would be absent on April 29 and April 30. Karen Abraham testified that when she picked up Abraham's check, she was told by Laura Heald's secretary that they had received the doctor's April 28, 1998 fax, but that Abraham still needed to call Kain directly, which he did.
Kain testified that had the doctor's fax been directed to him instead of Laura Heald on April 28, the April 29 and April 30 absences would have been considered excused. (Docket Entry No. 21, Kain dep.). Although Diagnostic Center contends that Abraham gave notice to the incorrect person, the policy requires notice

No poison in the remaining pills.
No needle marks.
No poison on the book, and she wasn't licking it anyway :P
The poison would've acted quickly, once the lethal dose was absorbed by her system, she would have died in 15 minutes.
Pathologists do not suspect suicide. In her condition, if she wanted death, all she had to do was stop taking the pills and go to sleep. She'd never wake.
According to interviews:
Aaron and Bethany confirm that Candice shut herself in at 8 pm. They remained in each other's sight until they turned in at 10.
Aaron stands to inherit a large fortune. Bethany stands to inherit a small amount by comparison
Aaron and Candice were getting into arguments, and she began to distrust him. Candice

Doctor
Reasoning
The letters which Candice tore from the book cover are "A murders C" which, when anagrammed, spell out "Curer's Mad" (she didn't have the letters to spell out Doctor).
How
The doctor had given her an extra pill to take which was laced with poison and told her to take it with a glass of water if she was having trouble sleeping. Being a medical professional, he was able to do it in the correct way so that the poison would take effect only when ingested by Candice. From the last bullet point, Candice seems to put a lot of faith in her doctor so would have no problem accepting his advice.
Sidenote
The normally moral doctor was bribed by a mysterious Irish gentleman standing to comeleaving no trace of the poison.
While thinking about something else entirely
I think I found another way Aaron could've murdered Candice, provided there's a gap in the door. Aaron could've sealed the door, with plastic, inserted a pipe through the gap and pumped in gas. Bethany would've been in her room and wouldn't find out, there'd be no evidence of the gas, as it would've released slowly throughout the night.
A:
It was
Aaron
because
what was ripped out from the book was A murders C. Aaron murders Candice?
A possible why:
Aaron thought the he was still receiving the bulk of the will, so he thought that killing her would streamline his wealth. But he didn't know she had changed it so he wouldn't get anything!
A possible how:
Aaron was picking up Candice's pills. It's

In August of 2014, Lance Mason assaulted his wife, Aisha Fraser, so violently that he broke her orbital bone. As their two daughters sat in the back seat of their car, Mason repeatedly punched Fraser with a closed fist and slammed her head against the dashboard. When Fraser fled the car, Mason continued to assault and bite her before leaving her on the side of the road.
At Mason’s sentencing hearing in 2015, after accepting a plea deal that reduced the charges against him to domestic violence and felonious assault, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that several members of the community spoke on his behalf, describing him as “a good person who made a mistake that he deeply regrets and won’t repeat.”
As has been widely reportedTexas homebuyers continued to rise from the 2016 edition, with single female homebuyers increasing 5 percentage points to 19 percent and single male buyers rising 2 percentage points to 9 percent of all Texas homebuyers.
The report also showed a broader ethnic diversity among Texas homebuyers.
Among all Texas homebuyers, 14 percent identified as Hispanic, 6 percent identified as African-American and 4 percent identified as Asian.
Minorities among first-time homebuyers were most likely to be Hispanic (27 percent), while minorities among repeat buyers were most likely to African-American (27 percent).
Indicating that Texans are buying later and moving earlier in life, the median age of first-time buyers increased three years to 35 years old, while the median age of Texas home sellers decreased eight years to 46 years old.

By Michael Taylor
YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia April 23 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Australia is confident of not only meeting, but beating, its carbon emissions targets agreed to under the Paris climate agreement, the country's environment minister said on Monday.
Australia has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
But a United Nations Environment Programme report late last year included Australia in a list of 10 nations and regions that need to take further action to meet their Paris goals.
"Yes, we have work to do," Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

to the crisis has been deeply disappointing. Despite the kidnappings, President Obama continues to recognize and support the Palestinian Authority-Hamas unity regime. The annual U.S. aid package of $500-million to the Palestinian Arabs continues, even though Hamas is now indirectly benefiting from that aid.
Worse, the administration did not fully take Israel's side in the pursuit of the kidnappers. In the midst of the ordeal, the State Department called on Israel to show "restraint" in its actions against Hamas. President Obama, in his statement following the discovery of the bodies of the three victims, called on "all parties" to refrain from steps that would "destabilize" the situation. Such language has always been a thinly-disguised code word for urging Israel to go easy on the terrorists.

Aoki, 70, an eighth-degree kendo master, returns the bow, cutting a menacing but graceful figure in his kendo armor, which hides his face behind metal bars built into a helmet.
In May, he will take off his kendo gear--revealing his wispy, silver hair and soft smile--and hold the torch aloft as he runs the Olympic relay in southwestern Japan. He will represent a former mining district in the region’s largest city, Fukuoka.
Aoki recalls watching the torch relay at age 14 during 1964 Tokyo Olympics when it passed through Fukuoka.

It requires that we, as moral beings, assume duties to relieve the suffering of others. The more intimate the relationship the stronger the obligation to assist. The family is a closely knitted moral community. Family members often share living resources, mutual experiences, and a sense of identity. Family members act as a social unit, and, ordinarily, mutual obligations among members have priority over duties to those outside of the family. For Confucian bioethics, family-based consent to medical treatment is regarded as natural and reasonable. Family-based decision making is a taken-for-granted norm of social life. While close family members have priority, Confucianism extends such obligations outward toward members of the extended family and the society at large.

Further, as of March 10, 2016, around 300 villages were declared as electrified based solely on the discom’s (power distribution company) word, without any verification from GVAs, raising questions about the effectiveness of the monitoring system.
Of the 7,000 villages said to be electrified, 3,604 have been marked — “Village found electrified during the survey” — which means they were already electrified when the GVAs made their first visit. This suggests that the Centre’s list of 18,452 unelectrified villages — prepared in consultation with State governments — was an overestimate.

Upending the normal partisan divides, numerous Democrats and Republicans came down on opposite sides of the vote, with most high-ranking lawmakers backing the White House plan to spend $500 million to vet some 5,000 members of the Free Syrian Army and then supply them with weapons.
The final vote was 273-156, with a total of 159 Republicans and 114 Democrats voting in favor of the measure. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who rarely votes, also voted for the measure in a show of support for the president's request.

West Central Minnesota Communities Action (WCMCA), an organization serving Stevens, Douglas, Grant, Traverse and Pope counties, has received up to $55,066 through a grant funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
As many as 564 volunteers could be impacted by these funds, which support Minnesota Lt. Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon’s ongoing effortsof rural life. They are based out of Elbow Lake.
CNCS awarded the funds as part of a competitive grant process for RSVP, one of three Senior Corps programs administered by CNCS. Established in 1971, RSVP engages Americans age 55 and over in volunteer opportunities across the country. These volunteers are a critical resource to the volunteer response to everything from hunger to natural disasters. Senior Corps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency that engages more than four million American of all ages and backgrounds in service each year.

areas: project arrangements, collaboration relationship, curriculum development, administration of the bachelor programme, capacity building, academic community and infrastructure.
Project arrangements {#ss8}
--------------------
The aim of the project was to build a 5-year entry-level physiotherapy programme at AUW. The partner meetings decided what was needed from both institutions to reach the aim and the action plans. The administration of the education was AUW's responsibility and the education subject to their policies and procedures.
The regular partner meetings included people with leadership roles, acting on behalf of their own institution. The project was thus institutionally rooted, and both partners had defined roles and authority in the project. This is in line with Casey ([@CIT0012]), Stockley & de Wit ([@CIT0013]) and the success factors that the African Studies Center at the Michigan State University describes([@CIT0014]).
BUC was the executing partner in the planning process during the first and second phases.
In 2012, there was a change. AUW made a detailed plan with steps to reach the aims, including all work tasks for the education programme, and BUC defined what they could contribute. The change in who was in charge of the planning in phase 3 reveals a development in competence related to the administration of the education programme. By initiating the decision-making process, AUW took responsibility and was accountable for the consequences.
Apart from the planning process, the project structure and administration tasks did not change during the 5-year study period. This suggests either that this way of cooperating worked well and that the roles were clearly defined or that the partnership did not develop.

and developed it further afterwards AUW senior teacher made sure it was in accordance with AUW's requirements and conditions in Sudan; an NGO physiotherapist was involved Teachers from BUC developed the content of the physiotherapy courses and gave advice about the examination system AUW saw to that all courses were developed in line with new regulations
Run the bachelor programme • Two teachers and one senior teacher taught physiotherapy at a time at the bachelor programme at AUW means that the Department of Physiotherapy had to examine all the course outlines, specify the reading material and ensure that the students had access to it. This was challenging, since little physiotherapy literature was available. Several participants pointed out that implementing this new quality assurance system is important for the curriculum work in their reports. This change in 2010 created the opportunity for systematic revision and further development. The new quality assurance system and more involvement of the Dean of the faculty housing the physiotherapy education program at AUW, led to the curriculum becoming more at par with international requirements and UNESCO's guidelines ([@CIT0007]). As the teachers from Norway were involved in the education programme for one academic year on average, they had the opportunity to look after

Norwegian.
Teachers from AUW faced language barriers in Norway because teaching and information were mainly in Norwegian. The teachers and students at BUC spoke English, which reduced the language barriers, and the participants were able to be part of an academic community and had access to international literature. The optimal solution could have been for the AUW teachers to stay at another university in Africa with an internationally recognized entry-level (bachelor) physiotherapy education programme.
The WCPT ([@CIT0003]) states the following.
> An integral component of the curriculum for the first professional qualification is direct clinical experience under the supervision of appropriately qualified physical therapists or other relevant professionals. As skills and experience increase, clinical education involves access to increasing levels of responsibility.
At AUW, teachers from BUC also had courses for teachersand clinical educators in evidence-based practice, learning methods and students' evaluation criteria at the clinical placements and examinations. Training clinical educators was important because they were responsible for the students' learning situations in the clinical internship. Sudan had no physiotherapy education programme when this project started, there were few physiotherapists and evaluating the quality of their clinical work was difficult. Linking the clinical educators to the education programme was thus extremely important: for example, by giving them the opportunity for professional development. It also became important to connect physiotherapists working at various NGOs to the education programme, since they had qualifications from recognized higher education institutions.
This project did not solve the challenges of developing formal competence, but AUW was granted four BUC quota scholarships during the project period.

areas, but already at that point AUW had started planning to build new facilities. The BUC senior participant and the administrator of the project gave advice to the architect for the new building about which rooms were needed and elaborated on what physiotherapy equipment was necessary. During the study, the education programme moved into new facilities with well-equipped skill laboratories.
During the last project phase, AUW had grown in competence so that the division of labour could be changed. They took over planning and purchasing equipment for the skill laboratories. The teachers from BUC went from decision-making to supervision. AUW was in charge of providing rooms and necessary equipment throughout the study.
### Preserving information {#ss16}
AUW had no system for preserving electronic documents or sharing teaching materials in 2007. Inthe project, AUW was much concerned about building academic capacity. The education programme was very vulnerable because of brain drain. Qualified academics are attractive to other institutions and countries that also lack physiotherapy programmes.
In this collaboration, the intention was not to start a branch of BUC's physiotherapy programme in Sudan. AUW came to BUC and asked for help so they could start an education programme. Nevertheless, the BUC way of thinking and experience of what international physiotherapy education means derives from European standards and the WCPT. Even though the WCPT includes many associations from African countries, most come from high- and middle-income countries. There are no common standards for African physiotherapy education, so when AUW wanted an international programme, BUC had to use the standards available and AUW

mixed community made up of Ionian Greeks and the Thracian tribes. Later it was controlled by the Thracians, Macedonians, and then Romans. The Roman city, Odessus, covered 47 hectares in present day central Varna and had prominent public baths, Thermae, erected in the late 2nd century AD, now the largest Roman remains in Bulgaria. So the researchers are saying that the initial analyses suggest the skeleton belongs to a man who lived in the late 4th or early 5th century AD, a time when Odessus was an early Christian centre. Valeri Yotov, who is part of the archaeology team carrying out the excavations there, is reported as telling the local news websites that the size of the bones is impressive and that they most likely belonged to aCup in Australia and then make a call after that.

Wiener, who regularly spoke about his Holocaust experience in schools throughout the state, endeared himself to the Warner Pacific community after sharing his life story at a powerful chapel service in September 2001.

Let me make the following three observations.
First, given the attacks Netanyahu has sustained against his integrity and judgment by the Obama Administration, he has every right to strike back with vengeance. Instead, Netanyahu killed President Obama with kindness making a point of thanking him for assistance during the 2010 Carmel forest fire, the 2011 siege of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo and for missile interceptors against Hamas last year.
I'm sure this only infuriated Obama more because he knew what was coming.

Warren Buffett is really looking forward to 2016. Sure, the Buffett rule didn't work out - partly because it turns out his secretary only pays more in taxes than he does because his wealth is packed into capital gains - but he's already hedging his bets that Hillary Clinton's administration will have a more favorable bent towards his ideas. In fact, he just loves Hillary Clinton, and thinks that, without a doubt, she'll be the next President of the United States.
