I am very pleasantly surprised to find an effective elderberry extract at this price. Formally, I would only purchase the brand of the manufacturer associated with the medical doctor who did the original research on elderberry. Then, the product was recalled! I put Now's Elderberry Extract to the test when I had the start of a flu. Stopped it in its track. Bravo! I'm sold.
I catch the flu once to three times every year. A wise man once told me to look around at the weeds growing near wherever I lived for clues to what was needed to maintain health living in that area. This advice finally penetrated when I moved to southern France last year and saw the area was full of wild elderberry bushes. I immediatelyname Old Hannibal, Dick Dock instantly regrets his words, realizing this is the man who had plunged into the water and rescued him from marauding sharks, who in the process tore at his arm. Hannibal, in turn, realizes that Dock is the man who successfully pleaded on his behalf to the enemy French sailors who boarded the ship in the aftermath of the shark incident. The two old sailors make up and end by toasting King George and Britain.
ADMIRAL NELSON RECREATING WITH HIS BRAVE TARS AFTER THE GLORIOUS BATTLE OF THE NILE
Thomas Rowlandson, 1800
This is supposed to be a “realistic” portray of the party aboard Nelson’s ship after the Battle of the Nile. I think it’s very obvious dear Nelson already had a glass or two too many…

Sex, celebrities and gossip are not inventions of our time. Considering the scandals described in this book, and the surprisingly open and loud (and lewd!) way they were dealt with, we can all point, laugh and mock at everybody who tries to tell us that those times were modest. Heh! Modest! Pull the other one…
This is London how many of us might have never imagined it, and certainly never encountered during history lessons – lewd, rude, sexy, scandalous, and through the eyes of the caricaturists, we come to understand how people might have seen their lives back in the late 18th, early 19th century. Royals are dragged through the mud, the daily fights and crimes on London’sbishops of the East persevered in the refusal, and suffered a cruel persecution; while even the inferior clergy and laity were compelled to keep themselves in concealment or to fly the country. The small minority of Eastern bishops who for peace's sake deserted Chrysostom's cause were made to feel the guilt of having once supported it, being compelled to leave their sees and take other dioceses in the inhospitable regions of Thrace, where they might be more under Atticus's eye and hand.
Unity seemed hardly nearer when the death of Chrysostom (14 September 407) removed the original ground of the schism. A large proportion of the Christian population of Constantinople still refused communion with the usurper, and continued to hold their religious assemblies, more numerously attended than the churches,

An in vitro microleakage study of three restorative techniques for Class II restorations in posterior teeth.
Microleakage associated with a silver reinforced restorative glass ionomer cement used alone and also as a laminate restoration with a composite resin and dentine adhesive in extracted premolar and molar teeth was evaluated. The influence of artificial saliva, thermal and load cycling was also determined. The composite and dentine adhesive alone were used for comparative purposes. The results showed that the composite resin/dentine adhesive restorations showed substantial microleakage at both the cervical and occlusal margins of the Class II restorations, whereas the glass ionomer alone showed little or no leakage after storage in water for seven days at 37 degrees C. These results were confirmed when the restorations were thermo-cycled and load stressed.perhaps more accurately, the rise of geek apologists. As recently as this summer, fellow GeekDad Matt Blum touted the virtues of the geek, while summarily cataloging the various ineptitudes of the nerd. While I find this strange at best and an outright false dichotomy at worst, many of our fellows tend to agree with Matt. From Wil Wheaton's (brief) turn as a poster boy for The Society for Geek Advancement to the rise of "geek chic," geeks seem to have it, while nerds, inexplicably, don't.
Last month, this simmering geek/nerd animosity took a strange new turn when John Dalton, the Australian sysadmin for social cataloging community LibraryThing shared an oddly incongruous set of clouds harvested from that site's tagmash feature.

Five years ago, an IBM-built supercomputer designed to model the decay of the US nuclear weapons arsenal was clocked at speeds no computer in the history of Earth had ever reached. At more than one quadrillion floating point operations per second (that's a million billion, or a "petaflop"), the aptly named Roadrunner was so far ahead of the competition that it earned the #1 slot on the Top 500 supercomputer list in June 2008, November 2008, and one last time in June 2009.
Today, that computer has been declared obsolete and it's being taken offline. Based at the US Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Roadrunner will be studied for a while and then ultimately dismantled. While the computer is still one of the 22Cell CPUs "taking on the most computationally intense parts of a calculation—thus acting as a computational accelerator," Los Alamos wrote.
"Although other hybrid computers existed, none were at the supercomputing scale," Los Alamos said. "Many doubted that a hybrid supercomputer could work, so for Los Alamos and IBM, Roadrunner was a leap of faith… As part of its Stockpile Stewardship work, Roadrunner took on a difficult, long-standing gap in understanding of energy flow in a weapon and its relation to weapon yield."
Roadrunner lost its world's-fastest title in November 2009 to Jaguar, another Department of Energy supercomputer combining AMD Opterons with Cray processors. Jaguar hit 1.76 petaflops to take the title, and it still exists as part of an even newer cluster called Titan. Titan took the top spot in

Proxy Access Still Key to Changing Corporate Behavior
by Robert Kropp
SocialFunds.com talks with James McRitchie of CorpGov.net about corporate governance shareowner
proposals and the case for improved proxy access for individual investors.
A review by Ernst & Young of this year's proxy season
thus far provides a compelling indication of the strides investors have made in calling attention
to governance shortcomings at many corporations.
As recently as 2005, shareowner
resolutions calling for a majority voting standard for board nominees received less than one
percent support. This year, the support has exceeded 80%. And average support this year for annual
rather than staggered elections of board members has also exceeded 80%.
Support for calls
for independent board leadership have also become commonplace, as even a resolution requesting the
separation of the positions of CEO and Board Chairman at JPMorganChase received 40% of the
shareowner vote. James Dimon currently holds both positions; Lisa Lindsley, director of capital
strategies at American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME), said while
introducing the resolution at the company's annual general meeting in May, "Looking for an
infallible CEO is a fool's errand."
Despite the notable gains achieved by shareowners
addressing corporate governance this proxy season, some of the most significant resolutions have
yet to come to a vote, according to James McRitchie, a longtime corporate governance advocate and
the founder and publisher of CorpGov.net.
In the coming weeks, three companies—Forest Labs, Medtronic, and H&R Block—will face shareowner
resolutions designed to provide individual investors with proxy access by empowering them to
nominate directors for their boards.
Based on a model resolution created by the United States Proxy Exchange (USPX), a service

The Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, ratified on February 7, 1795, in response to the Supreme Court's earlier decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 Dall. 419, 1 L.Ed. 440 (1793), states as follows:
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
While the express language of the above does not specifically bar suits for damages filed by citizens of a particular state against said state, the Amendment has been construed by the Supreme Court to provide the sovereign states with immunity from damage actionsby an ejector rod with a camming surface at a distal end. As the rod is pushed in the distal direction, the staples are pushed in sequence from one jaw against the other jaw, which serves to close the staples in a conventional process.
Anastomoses staplers include multiple rows of staples, with a cutting blade disposed between adjacent rows. The blade is actuated subsequently to the firing of the staples and prior to the removal of the stapled organic tissues from between the stapler jaws.

of portions of the catheter inside the patient.
The circulation path for the cryotherapy agent generally includes two separate lumens within an elongate member. One lumen fluidly couples the external cryotherapy source to the chamber of the balloon, and the other lumen is used for exhaust and fluidly couples the chamber of the balloon with the external reservoir. To maintain a circulation path, these lumens must be protected against being “pinched off,” especially as the catheter is navigated through various turns—some of which may be sharp turns—in the vessels and organs of a patient's body.Bay Area churches are building housing in ‘God’s’ backyard

and intense clashes.”
Regime forces, while continuing its offensive to capture the eastern part of Aleppo from rebels, advanced towards al-Bab, taking the villages of Khirbat Duwayr, Amad Taltinah, Shaalah and Tal Al-Khashkhashat. Hizbullah and the pro-Damascus Kurdish group, Kafr as Saghir Martyrs, took part in the fighting.
Turkish backed rebels maintain that the SDF provided fire support for the regime forces – more evidence, they insisted, to back their charge of collusion between Bashar al-Assad and the Kurds.
Turkey’s rebels clarify this statement, I’ll highlight it.
The complex and violent tapestry on the ground holds the increasing risk of outside players being sucked further into the conflict. President Erdogan called Vladimir Putin at the weekend after air strikes by Assad regime warplanes, had killed four Turkish soldiers and injured nine othersfrom Isis, leaving it to the FSA and Arab tribal militias. The Kurds, however, still maintain a presence there and have accelerated operations to gain territory nearby.
"My understanding is they were departing and they were doing that
today," Dorrian said after being pressed by Anadolu Agency to explain
the apparent contradiction.
"But as far as whether every single one of them is gone, I would be very uncomfortable saying every single one," he added”
American backed Kurdish militias not gone from Manbij!
This lays the ground for another scenario. The outside powers would lose interest – a very real possibility in the case of America under a Trump presidency – or rein back having reached their strategic objectives. The groups they had fed and watered will meanwhile carry on their vicious internecine strife,

ANKARA, November 27. /TASS/. Several blasts rocked training camps of
paramilitary units of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party in the Syrian
province of Khaseke in Tel Tamer on Saturday, Anadoly Agency reported.
The report said there several people were killed and wounded in the accident.
According to the agency, there were the US and British military
instructors in the camp. The facility was formed by the Democratic Union
in 2013, for training the Kurdish militia. The trainings have been
performed by US instructors since last year.
The Democratic Union is regarded as a terrorist organization in Turkey.
A loud blast heard in Gaziantep, in southeastern Turkey near the
Syrian border, may have been caused by jets taking part in Turkish
military efforts in nearby northern Syria, Turkish officials said late
Friday.

focusing on Syria, the Kremlin press service said.
"Today, President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin had a
telephone conversation with President of the Turkish Republic Recep

Syria," the statement said.
The conversation was the second between the two leaders in the past
two days. On Friday, Putin and Erdogan had a phone conversation about
the Syria crisis and the joint efforts in the fight against terrorism.
The Kremlin said that they had exchanged opinions in an encouraging
tonality.
Wondering if Putin initiated today's exchange? It seems likely since no mention of who took the initiative unlike yesterday.

opinions concerning the situation in Syria", the Russian presidency

There was no immediate comment from the Syrian military.(Unbelievable, truly!)
Direct confrontation between Nato-member Turkey and Syrian government
forces, which are backed by allies including Russia, would mark a
serious escalation in an already messy battlefield in northern Syria.
Of course this move is politically and financially motivated- It's part of the war against Turkey.Surely the US okayed this move.
BRUSSELS—The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to temporarily freeze talks on Turkey's bideconomic pressure” on the nation over its ballistic missile tests.
North Korea admitted test-firing multiple rocket launchers on Monday, maintaining that the test was done to strengthen national security. The South Korean Army, meanwhile, reported that Pyongyang had separately launched several projectiles into the Sea of Japan in early March.
The US-North Korean talks showed a glimmer of hope after a promising historic face-to-face meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in 2018. The negotiations have since stalled with both sides blaming each other for being unwilling to compromise.
Pyongyang, for its part, had been asking for Pompeo to be removed from the negotiation team, claiming that he had played a toxic role in the talks. The US refused to do that, insisting that Pompeo would

"to respect basic human rights, such as freedom of peaceful assembly and due process under the law," Earnest said.
He stressed that Egypt's interim government -- set up after the military deposed Morsi in July -- has pledged to transition back to a democratically elected government as soon as possible.
"That's a promise that they have made, and that's a promise that we're going to encourage them to keep," Earnest said.
In the coming days and weeks, the United States will seek "tangible evidence" of progress toward democratic elections and a free and open society, Earnest said.
American officials are talking with their counterparts in Egypt and will continue to do so, Earnest said.
The Egyptian military removed Morsi from power last month; the Obama administration has declined to call that incident "acoup," a declaration that would require the U.S. government to end aid to Egypt.
Said Earnest: "The world is watching what is happening in Cairo. We urge the government of Egypt and all parties of Egypt to refrain from violence and resolve their differences peacefully."
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon also condemned the violence by Egyptian security forces "in the strongest terms."

There’s one thing being preserved, at least. From the New York Times article:
Mr. Qi has preserved one trademark feature of the festival. The annual ice sculpture contest was still held, with 30 sculptures by teams from 12 countries, and none had anything to do with Disney. Mongolian artists created a giant lizard with a glistening tongue, while a Japanese team presented a doe and a baby deer leaping in midair. (No, it is not Bambi.)It is a scene familiar from many a TV advert for lager: a group of laughing young men walk down the pavement for an evening pint in their local pub. But this time, rather than being dressed in casual shirts they're kitted out in bright, building site-style fluorescent jackets.
That, at least, is the vision outlined by campaigners currently engaged in a row with the Advertising Standards Authority, the watchdog which some critics allege has recently begun to overextend its remit into highly contentious areas of road safety.
The spat began on Wednesday when the ASA upheld complaints about a TV advert from Cycling Scotland shown as part of a cycle safety campaign. The ASA ruled the ad should be banned on public safety grounds as it portrayed a cyclist

economic measures against North Korea if it repeats last August's suspected test of a medium-range missile over Japanese territory.
Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura warned Pyongyang that another missile test would seriously damage existing ties and said Japan could halt its contributions to North Korea's nuclear programme and freeze the flow of private money.
Under current legislation, Japan cannot cut money to any country without a United Nations resolution or multilateral agreement.
But the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is reported to be planning to revise the legislation to freeze private money flows overseas in any emergency that threatens national security.
The BBC's Korea Correspondent Andrew Wood says the US and its allies would have few options for punishing Pyongyang if it were to launch a missile.
North Korea is already isolated by American sanctions,although Tokyo could cut off payments to the North by Koreans living in Japan.
But our correspondent says humanitarian aid to relieve North Korea's famine seems to be untouchable, as is the international programme to build nuclear reactors in the North to replace its ageing plutonium-producing nuclear installations.
A Kosovo-style attack could bring devastating retaliation on Japan and South Korea, and the latest North Korean missiles might even be just powerful enough to hit the US mainland with a small payload, according to our correspondent.

the court on the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by Mashour Abdullah Muqbel Alsabri (ISN 324) ("the petitioner"), a Yemeni national detained at the United States Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba ("GTMO"). The government maintains that the petitioner was part of and provided material support to the Taliban, al-Qaida or associated enemy forces and is therefore lawfully detained. The petitioner asserts that he was neither part of nor supported those forces and that the court should therefore direct the government to release him from custody immediately.
In November 2010, the court held a merits hearing addressing the legality of the petitioner's detention. During the course of that hearing, which spanned four days, the parties introduced dozens of exhibits concerning the petitioner's alleged role in theGE 9 at 6.

The exhibit examines the experiences of new Canadians and illuminates how Toronto has grown and changed over time.
"Toronto's history continues to be shaped by immigrants from around the world who have come here to create a better life for themselves and their families," said Mayor John Tory. "This exhibit will shed a light on Toronto's immigration stories and how the city has evolved as a result of the diversity of these experiences."

One day last June, two researchers were towing a special sonar system up and down the Hudson River near Hyde Park, New York, the site of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s home, when they saw something pleasantly shocking.
They were helping state biologists assess whether the spawning or foraging of a fabled and endangered bottom-feeding denizen, the Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus), was being disrupted when commercial vessels dropped anchor in a spot designated as a waiting area to manage ship traffic.
The anchorage, established in 1999, happened to be located in a stretch of the Hudson that is one of the most important spawning grounds in its range along the coast from Florida through Canada’s maritime provinces. More anchorages were

Atlantic sturgeon has been—along with the loss of other once-keystone commercial species like the American shad.
The loss is not just of fish but of the relationship communities have with their environment when fisheries are sustainable, Cronin said. He lamented how mismanagement of harvests, even when the science was clear, led to the final crash in the 1990s and then a ban on catches that will persist for many years, if not decades, to come.
In an essay on his Earth Desk blog in 2013, centered on Native American lore around a “sturgeon moon,” Cronin captured the epic scale of the jolt this ancient species has felt in Earth’s Anthropocene age of human impacts.

Most Helpful Review for Rhodes College
Category: In three sentences
Review by: Richard from Frisco, TX
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful
Rhodes College is a four year liberal arts college in Memphis Tennessee that challenges students both academically and morally. The college offers many sought after courses, such as Biology and International Studies, and provides countless opportunities for research and to study abroad. Rhodes is a place for growth and discovery, and the resources available on campus will guide students to achieve their goals and ambitions.
Rhodes College is a school for students interested in furthering their knowledge. The classes are small in comparison to state schools and the professors are very caringand considerate. The small school feel creates a sense of connected community.
A wonderful liberal arts school that will show you boundless opportunities. As the #1 Service Oriented School in the country, Rhodes has an amazing connection with Memphis and the surrounding area. Rhodes College will change your life.
Rhodes is an awesome school, and now I can't imagine wanting to be anywhere else. I really couldn't be happier with the choice I made and recommend it to anyone interested. From the challenges you'll face in the classroom, to the incredible people you meet and become friends with, the environment is like a home away from home.

Book Acts as Barometer Measuring the Fear of Obama
A little over two years ago, my novel depicting a conservative revolution from within the United States against the ”liberal onslaught eradicating traditional America,” was released. It is entitled “America’s Last Days,” and did quite well in the bookstores and on Amazon.com.
The reason I bring it up again (which seems counter-productive as I now have a newer novel in the bookstores), is to report some interesting feedback which may or may not act as a measurement of concern or outright fear of the Obama administration and the European Welfare State the left-leaning President seems intent on replicating within our borders.
Right after Barack Obama was elected, I was flooded with emails from those who had already read the book, or whofor answers from within the pages of a novel. Then, come mid-February, the emails started again. It was almost as if those willing to give the new President the benefit of the doubt had seen enough and were crying out for a fictional solution.
As I have stressed in the past and will say now to Attorney General Eric Holder and the left-leaning political appointees of his Justice Department, “America’s Last Days” is a work of fiction. Period.
As to why the novel may resonate with some Americans who believe in God and traditional values, below you will find two excerpts:
The first excerpt relates a conversation that takes place between the former Director of the FBI and the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The two men lead

[Attempts to fight paludism and malaria in the middle ages. Role of Benedictine and Cistercian monks in the rise of monastic medicine and in land reclamation during the Middle Ages].
The loss of low-lying farm-land to marshes and swamps was a striking phenomenon in Italy and other regions of Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. Throughout the Middle Ages extensive fertile agricultural lands were abandoned due to increased marshiness and the risk of the spread of malaria diffusion. In economic and social terms, this was a further source of decline. In this scenario of progressive abandonment which supported the spread of disease, Benedictine and Cistercian monks performed extensive land reclamation (relying on channels, dams and embankments), leading to a progressive control of seasonal flooding by rivers andCzech Braque in London

The painting themed “Fruit, pitcher and pipe” from the year 1924 was offered at the daily auction of impressionists and classic modern at Christie’s. The pre-auction estimate produced the value of 260 to 350 thousand pounds. The amount converted to Czech crowns would then correspond with the level of 7.7 to 10.4 million (excluding the auctioneer´s commission). The painting was finally left unsold.

The high price, at which the painting was sold in the Czech Republic last year, was even more surprising due to the fact that it had been sold for 277 thousand pounds at auction by Christie´s half a year before (25th June 2008). Converted into Czech crowns, using the valid exchange, this amount equalled CZK 8.44 million.

mining operation. SMARA required the project also meet all necessary permit conditions required by the county and other agencies.
In February 2014, the Board of Supervisors decided to bypass the Mendocino County Planning Commission to review the new permit application directly. In March the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on this project and voted 4 to 1 to accept the Mitigated Negative Declaration to allow the project to proceed. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is a statement that a proposed project, including any proposed modifications to reduce the project impacts, will have no significant impact on the environment. By accepting the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the county determines that a more extensive Environmental Impact Study is not required.
In April 2014, Keep the Code and Willits Environmental Centerfiled a second lawsuit against Mendocino County and Mendocino Forest Products Company claiming the new permit was issued in violation of regulations. The lawsuit has been sitting in court without any real action waiting its turn in the slow moving judicial hopper.
The suit alleges the county "abused its discretion and failed to act in the manner required by law in approving the project based on an inadequate Mitigated Negative Declaration in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act and by exempting the project from the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act and the Mendocino County Surface Mining and Reclamation Ordinance." The lawsuit requested the court to order the county to set aside any project permits and to comply with these regulations.

Kim Jong Un visiting a North Korean cookie factory in November 2014. Kim issued a gift bag of sweets to commemorate an anniversary, but the product is of poor quality, sources say. File Photo Rodong Sinmun
SEOUL, April 29 (UPI) -- Gift bags of candy that Kim Jong Un issued for North Korean children on Kim Il Sung's birthday anniversary are being spurned for better quality Chinese sweets, sources say.
The North Korean candy is of such poor quality an excess supply of the confections are being sold in the country's gray markets at marked-down prices, Radio Free Asia reported.
A source in North Hamgyong Province said the gift bag for children is being "trafficked" in the unofficial marketplace, and the authorities are not happy with the situation.
"Trading in 'Day ofthe Sun' gifts from the state is illegal, and law enforcement had to take action," the source said, according to South Korean news service Newsis.
RELATED North Korea to demolish 300 homes in border region
The quality of the candy is low, and doesn't taste nearly as well as Chinese imports because North Korea's sweets use corn flour, the source said.
The gift bag weighs about 2 pounds and is evenly divided between hard candy and cookies.
Each bag costs about 10,000-12,000 North Korean won, a currency for which there is no official exchange rate.
The quality of candy has dropped significantly since the days of Kim Il Sung, the source added.
"Children don't even give the sweets a second glance because they are of such poor quality," the source said.

The Commission of Inquiry established by the Governing Body of the International Labor Organization (ILO) for Venezuela presented its report on the complaint filed in 2015 by thirty-three employer delegates at the International Labor Conference (ILC). The report, issued on October 3, 2019, reflects that the Government of Nicolás Maduro, “the workers president,” harasses employers and workers in a context of impunity.
The instance reported, for the first time in Latin America and by virtue of a complaint by employers rather than workers, serious persecution against the Federation of Chambers and Associations of Commerce and Production of Venezuela (Fedecámaras) and its affiliates, in addition to attacks on trade union organizations independent from the regime. In this regard, the complaint demanded the immediate cessation of acts of violence,threats, intimidation and violation of civil liberties in the country.
Likewise, the Commission of Inquiry warned that the Venezuelan government violates Convention No. 87 (Freedom of Association) when it promotes parallel and discriminatory organizations, and impersonation in the activities of employers ‘and workers’ organizations and promotes interference in the relations between employers and workers.
Access to Justice, the Venezuelan justice observatory, recalls that the ILO Commission of Inquiry for Venezuela was formed in June 2018 by three members: Manuel Herrera Carbuccia (Dominican Republic), María Emilia Casas Vaamonde (Spain) and Santiago Pérez del Castillo (Uruguay). The ILO delegation’s investigation included the compilation of written documentation and information, direct interaction with the parties and other actors involved through videoconferences and a visit to the country that took place between July 7 and

13, 2019. Contradictory hearings were also held in Geneva in the evaluation process.
The ILO representation met with officials of the Ministry for Social Work Process, the National Land Institute (INTI), the National Electoral Council (CNE), the Attorney General’s Office and the Procurator’s Office (PGR); among others, with witnesses of the complainants and, finally, with representatives of employers ‘and workers’ organizations. However, several agencies ignored the ILO meeting request. These included the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM), the Corps of Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations (CICPC) and the Special Action Forces (FAES).
The ILO Commission of Inquiry urged the Maduro regime to guarantee a climate free of violence, threats, persecution, intimidation or other forms of aggression, in which partners can exercise their legitimatealso proposes the establishment of consultation procedures through tripartite dialogue with representative organizations of employers and workers. It also recommends that a review of the decree with rank, value and force of the Organic Law of Labor, Workers and Workers (LOTTT) be submitted to the tripartite consultation. The commission emphasizes that the recommendations given to the Government must be applied, at the latest, on 1 September 2020.
And Venezuelan, how does this affect you?
The report of the ILO Commission of Inquiry on Venezuela reveals that there is no social dialogue in the country and that the regime of Nicolás Maduro, who is assumed as a “worker”, revolutionary and in favor of the people, harasses both employers and workers.

The first case of the virus likely occurred in mid-November, 2019. While identifying a novel virus of course takes time, Taiwan identified the outbreak and banned flights from Hubei before the end of 2019. By comparison, before China finally acknowledged the gravity of the situation in late January, some five million people left Hubei, allowing the disease to spread throughout China and the world.

could have been reduced by some 95 per cent. While it is also true that many Western countries are failing in tragic fashion, thousands of lives, in China and around the world, would have been saved had China put aside its politics and acted swiftly.
Chinese authorities had this information and data but refused to release it in a timely manner, instead preferring an ever-changing narrative about the outbreak that made medical assessments on the coronavirus and its impact very difficult. Crucial weeks were lost that could have helped to contain the country-wide and later global spread of this virus.
Most recently, Chinese government propagandists have promoted a bizarre story about the outbreak in Wuhan being caused by the United States Army. This latest conspiracy, reported by Eto Buziashvili ofthe Atlantic Council, is seemingly inspired by the KGB’s Operation Infektion from the 1980s, which involved the KGB planting a story in a pro-Kremlin newspaper in India where it was claimed that HIV/AIDS was developed in a CIA laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland. The Russian disinformation campaign eventually metastasized within the U.S. media environment, eventually reaching mainstream U.S. national news in 1983.
Buziashvili reports that stories about the U.S. army introducing coronavirus in Wuhan were planted on pro-Kremlin platforms in January, and have since spread to fringe western pro-totalitarian conspiracy theory platforms, including one based in Montreal. Those stories have since been amplified by Chinese government officials, including Zhao Lijian (the deputy director of Foreign Ministry Information Department) who posted it on Twitter, and further promoted by the Chinese

South Sudan: UN should take over the country
Cairo – A Northern Sudanese politician pridicted during the Southern Sudan Referundum that “if the South break away from the north, South Sudan will never be peacefull due to their ethnic hatred toward each other”. Well, the South Sudanese proven their former northern brothers right this week after a peace deal falters.
Last week, which saw targeted killings of armed and political members of the SPLM-in-Opposition – a party to the Peace Deal signed in August – clashes started after days of speculations that the two parties will return to war. Throughout Thursday last week to Monday, this week, Juba witnesses heavy fighting, which in fact suggested that the Transitional Government which was established last month between Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army I’m

device A “netlist” is one common electronic representation of a hardware device. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art of hardware device design, a “netlist” is a detailed circuit specification used by logic synthesizers, circuit simulators and other circuit design optimization tools. A netlist typically comprises a list of circuit components and the interconnections between those components.
The two forms of a netlist are the flat netlist and the hierarchical netlist. Often, a netlist will contain a number of circuit “modules,” which are used repetitively throughout the larger circuit. A flat netlist will contain multiple copies of the circuit modules essentially containing no boundary differentiation between the circuit modules and other components in the device. By way of analogy, a graphical representation of a flat netlistcarried 14 times for 140

In Albuquerque, Sheryl Hoover brings her suicidal brother Frank to the breast of her dysfunctional and emotionally bankrupted family. Frank is homosexual, an expert in Proust. He tried to commit suicide when he was rejected by his boyfriend and his great competitor became renowned and recognized as number one in the field of Proust. Sheryl's husband Richard is unsuccessfully trying to sell his self-help and self-improvement technique using nine steps to reach success, but he is actually a complete loser. Her son Dwayne has taken a vow of silence as a follower of Nietzsche and aims to be a jet pilot. Dwayne's grandfather Edwin was sent away from the institution for elders (Sunset Manor) and is addicted in heroin. When her seven-year-old daughter Olive has a chance tothat he has placed the other party (the passive party) on hold thereby forcing the passive party to remain on the line for an uncomfortable period of time. After the passive party becomes distraught at having been put on hold for an uncomfortable period of time, the call is terminated before the active party remembers to return to the line. Obviously, in a business environment, such aggravation and loss of business cannot be tolerated.
The most common solution to the above-mentioned problems of placing a party on hold has been to "wink" the line button such that the active party will be continuously reminded that he has placed the passive party on hold. Unfortunately, a preoccupied active party quickly ignores or overlooks the winking of the line button.

Insight: India's Crisis Within A Crisis; Finance Minister Fights On Two Fronts
It was hardly a difficult decision for a government that needs to shore up its sagging popularity before elections due by next May. But officials familiar with the discussion say there was one dissenting voice over what is now destined to become one of the world's largest welfare programs. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, already struggling to convince doubters that he will keep the country's hefty fiscal deficit under control, made a last-minute attempt to trim the huge cost of the plan, estimated at about $20 billion a year. Chidambaram's ultimate failure to win colleagues around - despite his famed eloquence - is emblematic of the predicament he faces: he must stop investors heading for the hills

as economic growth skids to its slowest pace in a decade, but he is surrounded by politicians who haven't grasped that there is a crisis at hand and want to spend their way to the ballot box. In many ways, Chidambaram has been grappling virtually alone with India's economic emergency since he became finance minister for a third time 13 months ago. Cabinet colleagues, wayward allies of the ruling coalition and an obstructive opposition have together stood in the way of bold steps that might have averted this year's collapse of confidence in the India story. It is a crisis within a crisis. With elections looming, that won't change anytime soon, which means Chidambaram will find it difficult to take robust policy action if the situation goes fromevening of April 4, 2004, according to the NPR/CPI version of events, [Laura] Dunn, then a freshman and member of the crew team at the University of Wisconsin, consumed so many raspberry vodkas at a crew party that the student-bartenders refused her more drinks. She left with two young men she trusted from her team. They planned to go to another party, but decided to make a quick stop at one of the men's apartment. According to Dunn, once they arrived, her teammates raped her as she fell in and out of consciousness. For many months, she tried to dismiss the evening as a "just a mistake." Still, she couldn�t sleep, she lost weight, she dropped out of crew. Fifteen months later, Dunn attended a philosophy class where

notes taken by University of Wisconsin deans as well as the local police detective. As freelance reporter Derek Rose has pointed out, it tells a very different story from the one we heard from Shapiro on NPR�s Morning Edition or from the CPI report. To wit: When Dunn first spoke to the dean (15 months after the alleged rape), she said that "a portion of the sexual encounter was consensual." (p.5) A few days later when she spoke to a campus police detective, Dunn said twice that she did not remember being raped by one of the men (the one still on campus). She found out about it only when the men told her what happened the next day (p.6). She also told the detective that in themonths after the alleged rape that she went--twice--to one of the men's residence, where they engaged in consensual "physical contact." On one of these occasions both of the alleged assailants were at the apartment and they all watched television together. (p.6) None of these details were mentioned in the NPR/CPI report. The anomalies continue. The NPR/CPI team faulted the University of Wisconsin staff for dragging the case out for nine months�enough time for an �enraged encounter� (as related above) between the accuser and one of the accused men. According to the CPI team, when Dunn ran into the young man at a fraternity party, he stalked and threatened her. But Dunn told the police detective that she had initiated the encounter and when he walked away, she followed

are going to pull off each of them. Stage play adaptations of popular anime series have been common over the years. Popular franchises like Naruto, Sailor Moon, Death Note, Haikyuu!!, and Touken Ranbu are some of the many titles that got stage play adaptions and had big hits.
The boom of anime stage musicals and plays began in 2003 after the massive success of the stage play adaptation of Prince of Tennis. These kinds of productions are popular amongst girls, probably because of the handsome cast and its unique way of storytelling. Stage plays are also a way for companies to add more material into the series and sell exclusive merchandise. Some may prefer the original source and its anime adaptations.

Government ties, though kept at low volume, are close.
PROTESTERS IN Jordan hold Jordanian and Palestinian flags as they march in protest against Israel..

A banner of Ahmad Daqamseh, the Jordanian soldier convicted of killing seven Israeli schoolgirls twenty years ago, hangs high above a street in the northern Jordanian city of Irbid. It welcomes him home upon his release from prison and lauds him as “the lion of the [Jordan] Valley” for his murders.
Such displays and similar Facebook posts offer fresh evidence of the unpopularity among Jordanians of Amman’s peace with Israel, signed in 1994. Government ties, though kept at low volume, are close.
Last year, Jordan signed a 15 year gas purchasing agreement with Israel valued at $10 billion.

For the government, trying to put a more positive spin on Israel would alienate Jordanians of Palestinian origin.
Indeed, the foremost reason the peace is chilled and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future is that the majority of Jordanians are of Palestinian origin and have close familial, social and emotional ties with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Arab citizens in Israel. Far from moving to a situation of betterment and independence for their brethren as was hoped when the peace treaty was signed, things seem to be moving to permanent Israeli control, annexation and even feared dislocation.

In 1994, King Hussein had the stature to make peace with Israel openly. Three years later, he made the powerful gesture of traveling to Israel after the Daqamseh murders and beseeching the bereaved families for forgiveness. He was criticized at home but his standing was such that he was able to do it.
King Abdullah does not enjoy his father’s stature.
Moreover, he must deal with the fact that twenty years later the peace is seen as stillborn and as having left the Palestinians in a worse situation.

The coordinator of this project is the European Values Think-Tank, a Prague-based non-partisan public policy institute, together with the League of Human Rights, advocacy NGO based in Brno. The main donor of the project is the Open Society Foundations (Think Tank Fund).
The Problem
In recent years, we have witnessed a rise in influence of the extremist and populist parties and their leaders in Europe. The extremists gain media and political space from the fact that mainstream political parties ignore immigration andtherefore we have decided to split political subjects according to their political profiling.
On the tenth day of July Germany significantly influenced preparations of the European Banking Union project. German government rejected the final draft of the second pillar proposed by the European Commission. The second pillar founds mutual Eurozone fund into which the European banks would contribute (1 % of insured deposits) and it also counts with the Commission’s right to accept the final decision about which bank should be restructuralised from the fund or, on the other hand, which should be left to bankrupt.

Part and Parcel: UK Violent Crime Wave Grows Even Faster, London Knife Attacks up 40 Percent
The UK’s surge in recorded violent and sexual crime, including knife attacks, has accelerated at a faster rate than previously thought over the past year, new police statistics reveal.
Sadiq Khan’s London saw the largest increase in recorded knife crime – rocketing by a massive 38 per cent in just one year.
In England and Wales, around 5.3 million violent crimes were recorded in the 12 months to September 2017, up 14 per cent on the year before, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The latest police figures from 44 forces around the country reveal that robbery was up by 29 per cent, sex offences up 23 per cent, knife crime up 21 per cent,No, they weren't coming to the rescue.
Military officials said 25 heavily armed parachutists who landed in a cornfield on the grounds of a Colorado prison last week were on a training mission but landed about 3 miles off target.
"Those were Special Operations Command forces conducting routine training," Army Col. Hans Bush, a spokesman for the command at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., said Monday. He declined to identify the units that landed at Fremont Correctional Facility but said the target was Fremont County Airport.
The special operations troops, which could include Navy Seals or Green Berets, began dropping from the sky at about 4:50 a.m. Thursday. Guards on duty, who are trained to watch the skies following a helicopter escape in 1989 from a prison near Ordway, Colo., held

Mikhail saw the television was on. There was talk of villages and suburban houses being bombed, of churches met with massive crowds, more than the churches could fit. So much inhumanity broadcasted. Mikhail imagined a future where people could have media that only told them the things they needed to hear, the important things in life, making everyone happier. Mikhail had a habit of always imagining everyone in his life happier, a daydream disciple, even Barbara, contrary to the actual words spoken to her. In these imaginations, a type of threshing occurred, where Mikhail could pluck from remote vines and weeds of his heart, any viable nutrition he could then provide his family with.

Any salubrious testing Pax attributed to sigil spells of armor and she even had uncanny habits where she'd purposefully harm herself to prove how healthy she really was, sometimes claiming she made a deal with a demon for superior health. This time period Pax developed, in addition to worsening schizophrenia, a fear of being stared at, and a worsening fear of using phones.
"Honey, how are the grades going?" Barbara asked from her home kitchen, going through an old box of 'job mementos' from places Pax had worked at.

of the twin tunnels has not been determined, but the Emanuel administration plans to seek a long-term lease to Musk's company, a source familiar with the proposal said.
Myriad regulatory, safety and environmental questions also could affect the project's construction and timeline, Boring and city officials acknowledged.
For now, though, Emanuel is selling the idea as the latest bold "transformative" innovation in a city that found itself at the forefront of American railroads and became an early linchpin in the nation's aviation system.
"If you look at the history of Chicago ... every time we've been an innovator in transportation, we have seized the future," Emanuel said in an interview with the Tribune on Wednesday. "I think figuring out -- when time is money -- how to shrink the distance between-- based on a modified Tesla Model X car chassis -- still has to be built on a large scale.
Emanuel remained undeterred by the uncertainty, pointing in large part to Musk's success in building electric-car powerhouse Tesla and aerospace manufacturer SpaceX, the first private company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station, among other accomplishments.
"We're taking a bet on a guy who doesn't like to fail -- and his resources. There are a bunch of Teslas on the road. He put SpaceX together. He's proven something," Emanuel said of Musk. "The risk -- with no financial risk -- is I'm betting on a guy who has proven in space, auto and now a tunnel, that he can innovate and create something of the future. Given his

resuscitated it in a May 2015 interview with the Tribune, shortly after he won his second term. In a February 2017 infrastructure speech, the mayor announced the city had retained Rivkin, a former federal transportation official, to create "an express train" to O'Hare.
Rivkin, a former general counsel at the U.S. Department of Transportation, worked as the city's consultant on the project for six months before Emanuel hired him as deputy mayor. The Emanuel administration did not answer questions Wednesday about how much the city paid Rivkin as a consultant.
As part of his consulting work, Rivkin said he met with train and rail executives around the country, but also made a trip last summer with then-Deputy Mayor Steve Koch to California to visit the budding Boring headquarters. They touredtweeted in November that the company would compete for the Chicago project. The Tribune previously reported how emails to Emanuel showed that a May 2017 political power lunch between the mayor and a Chicago private equity investor served as the catalyst for talks between Musk and the city.
Valor Equity Partners founder Antonio Gracias, whose Chicago-based firm has invested in Musk's SpaceX, met with Emanuel in his office 32 stories above Michigan Avenue and a week later contributed the then-maximum $5,600 to the mayor's campaign. Gracias told the Tribune the contribution was not connected to the lunch and the meeting's purpose was general and not to discuss Boring.
Gracias, who with his wife has given $72,700 to the mayor's campaign, told the Tribune then that he's not an investor in

relationship with the mayor aside, Musk's cutting-edge technology has engendered plenty of questions from other elected officials on the East and West coasts.
Boring has already been digging a tunnel near Los Angeles, starting under a parking lot at Musk's SpaceX company headquarters. The company has also applied for a permit to dig a 2.7-mile "proof of process" tunnel beneath Los Angeles and Culver City, Calif., to show how the technology would work.
While Los Angeles officials have discussed exempting the project from some environmental impact analysis in order to fast-track it, two Los Angeles community groups filed lawsuits against the city in May arguing to waive that analysis would violate the law.

to actively participate in the start of mass production of the one that will become the Beetle.
After the Second World War, the Karosseriewerk Reutter gradually resumed its activity. An increasingly close collaboration with Porsche then developped, and led to the mass production of the Porsche 356, the first model ever marketed by Porsche, and one of the most sucessful sports cars of its time. Over the years, work for Porsche allowed to offsetting the decline in traditional pre-war bodywork. The development of the bodywork of the 901, the 911 to be, was another example of successful collaboration between the two companies, but it led inexorably to the takeover of Reutter by Porsche, in 1963 .

TRS President and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would not attend Wednesday's meeting called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the "one nation, one election" issue, among others.
KT Rama Rao, Working President of the party and son of the Chief Minister, would represent the TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samiti) in the meeting, a senior leader said today.
"Working President KT Rama Rao will attend", TRS Parliamentary Pary leader K Keshava Rao told news agency PTI.
KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known as, had skipped the Prime Minister''s swearing-in ceremony on May 30 and also the NITI Aayog meeting last week.

He has personally invited Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Jagan Mohan Reddy, respectively, for the event.
KCR also chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Tuesday.
On Wednesday, he is slated to preside over the party state executive meeting in the city.
On Monday, senior TRS leader B Vinod Kumar had said implementing the "one nation, one election" idea is going to be a herculean task.
Vinod Kumar, a former Lok Sabha member, noted his party had put forth its views on simultaneous elections before the Law Commission during the NDA government's previous term that "it would be better to have all polls at one go".
"It was ouropinion then and it still is," Kumar, who served as the deputy floor leader of the TRS in the 16th Lok Sabha, had told PTI.
But, he pointed out that implementing the idea is not going to be an easy task as elections are held in different states in different intervals.
Kumar said the government is yet to spell out the modalities on how the new poll system would be put in place, adding, his party would be able to give "concrete opinion" once the Centre comes out with details of its implementation.
"Per se, election at one go will be better for the whole nation. (But) it''s a herculean task," he said.

"We immediately dialled triple-0 for an ambulance from home."
The mother said her son was taken to Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane where he underwent surgery.
"We are still awaiting to find out if any further damage was found," she said.
"My son will have a long road of recovery and won't be attending child care for a few months but is enrolled to start at a new centre when he is given the all-clear by doctors.
"[He] is still in shock. He cannot play with his brother or his family, can hardly walk around, let alone run."
The ABC has unsuccessfully attempted to contact the mother to verify the details in the Facebookpost.

The childcare centre is owned by G8 Education Limited, with a spokesperson saying in a statement that first aid was applied to the child at the time of the incident.
"On the morning of Monday, September 16, a toddler's toe was accidently jammed in a storeroom door," the spokesperson said.
"[Staff] immediately took action to apply first aid. Without delay, other team members lent their support to soothe and calm the child.
"The incident was reported to the relevant regulatory authority, who are investigating."
The spokesperson also said safety was the centre's top priority.

not only relies on, but generates, financial linkages. Banks with international operations underpin trade financing and follow their customers into foreign markets. Trade denominated in a foreign currency can require hedging, with counterparties accumulating international positions. Firms may build capacity in a foreign country with an attractive skill or resource base in order to export from there. Managing the financial asset and liability positions built up through trade induces still deeper financial linkages, including international trade in financial services.
Tighter global economic integration has been hugely beneficial. Globalisation has been instrumental in raising living standards and has helped lift large parts of the world population out of poverty. Trade openness has greatly enhanced productive efficiency and vastly improved consumption opportunities. Financial openness, in addition to supporting international trade, allowsof globalisation - from the "first wave" leading up to World War I, through the "great reversal" of the interwar years, to the revival and surge in globalisation post-World War II in the "second wave". The chapter argues that recent suggestions of "peak globalisation" are misleading. Next, it reviews how the structure of trade and financial integration has evolved in the second wave. It then discusses the impact of globalisation on welfare, noting its contribution to the substantial growth in incomes and the dramatic decline in poverty as well as the risks to financial stability linked with financial openness. The final section makes some concluding observations, discussing policy measures that can further enhance the benefits of globalisation and minimise the adjustment costs.

the Great Depression, saw a substantial increase in both real and financial cross-border linkages. Trade openness for the then major economies, measured as the ratio of imports plus exports to GDP, more than doubled from the early 1800s to be close to 30% by the turn of the century (Graph VI.2). 6 The increase in financial openness, measured as investment assets held by foreigners as a share of GDP, was no less dramatic, with capital flows to colonies particularly notable. However, the first globalisation wave was relatively simple: most transactions were in the first, or second, layer. The collapse of the first wave was as remarkable as its build-up: the "great reversal" in the interwar period witnessed an almost complete unwinding. Many factors contributed, not least increased protectionism,responsible for around half of the decline in global trade in the Great Depression. 7
The second globalisation wave, starting after World War II, has far outstripped the first. Trade openness surged beyond its prewar peak as countries traded more, and more countries traded. For the world as a whole, trade openness has doubled since 1960 (Graph VI.2). Improvements in transport and communication have again played a role, but trade liberalisation has been a much more important factor than in the first wave. 8 Trade growth in the two decades up to the mid-2000s was particularly rapid: China and former communist countries re-entered global trade and the second globalisation layer expanded quickly. The specialisation through the division of production stages across national borders resulted in the unprecedented expansion of

GVCs.
Financial openness increased with trade openness in both waves, but its rise has been much more marked in the second. Available estimates, while highly imperfect, suggest that financial openness is more than triple its prewar peak. External financial assets and liabilities have soared, from around 36% of GDP in 1960 to around 400% ($293 trillion) in 2015.
The rapid expansion in financial openness from the mid-1990s has been concentrated in advanced economies. Relative to GDP, the external positions of advanced economies and emerging market economies (EMEs) were roughly equal up until the early 1990s. Since then, the cross-border financial assets and liabilities of advanced economies have surged, from roughly 135% to over 570% of GDP. In contrast, the increase for EMEs during the same period was more modest, fromapproximately 100% to 180% of GDP.
Trade
The nature of trade has changed markedly during the second globalisation wave. Economic development, greater market access, and improvements in transportation and in information and communication technology have broadened the range of items traded. Natural resource endowments were an important determinant of trade flows 50 years ago, with much of trade in the first globalisation layer. Now, the location of skilled and unskilled labour and relative expertise has become more important, with the second globalisation layer becoming dominant. In the early 1960s, food accounted for nearly one quarter of traded goods; today, its share is less than 10% (Graph VI.3, left-hand panel). Similarly, trade in fuel and that in metals and ore are little changed as a share of GDP, abstracting from the

percentage points to non-euro area countries' financial claims on the area.
Just as multinational corporations play a key role in trade, large internationally active financial institutions increasingly dominate global finance, particularly in advanced economies. These giants have subsidiaries and branches in countries across several continents. They engage not only in cross-border financial transactions, but also in local borrowing and lending, not classified as international transactions in the balance of payments (BoP) accounting framework. As a result, standard BoP-based measures of financial openness tend to underestimate the degree of global interconnectedness (Box VI.B), just as they do for the non-financial sector, where multinationals' subsidiaries produce for their local market.
For EMEs, overall financial openness has grown only slightly faster than trade openness, but the composition of external liabilities has changed substantiallythe corresponding international financing flows. The weak economic recovery in Europe - an especially trade-intensive and financially open region - has been another element. More generally, the pullback in trade and financial openness reflects a desire to reduce risk, most obviously by financial institutions, but also by non-financial companies, as seen in the decline in disruption-sensitive GVCs.
However, at least on the financial side, the apparent pause in globalisation needs to be interpreted with caution. First, conventional measures somewhat overstate the reduction in openness. Despite being stagnant at the global level, the ratio of external liabilities to GDP has continued to grow for both advanced economies and EMEs post-crisis (Graph VI.4). This seeming anomaly reflects that the level of financial globalisation is much lower for EMEs than for advanced

Chinese espionage for western military technologies has reached a new stage. Chinese hackers have targeted over two dozen universities in the US and Canada in an apparent bid to steal key maritime military research.
“The hackers sent universities spear phishing emails doctored to appear as if they came from partner universities, but they unleashed a malicious payload when opened,” according to a report by cybersecurity firm iDefense accessed by wsj.com.
All 27 universities — including the University of Hawaii, the University of Washington, Penn State and Duke University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology — were found to have been hit by the hackers. Some universities in Canada and Southeast Asia were also targeted, according to ndtv.com.

As well known in the art, dynamoelectric machines are provided with a rotatable member or assembly, generally referred to as a rotor, a stationary member, generally referred to as a stator, in which the rotatable member is received, and structural components, such as opposite end frames or shields, which are secured to the stationary member and rotatably support or journal the rotatable member.
In dynamoelectric machines of the type just described, it is most important that the rotor and stator be mounted or assembled during manufacture in proper radial and axial alignment, and that such be done expeditiously and inexpensively. Improper radial alignment results in undesirable eccentricity in an annular air gap between the rotor and magnetic core while improper axial alignment produces undesirable excessive axial rotor thrust.

No program has a longer active bowl winning streak than Rutgers, a run it can extend by recording the third 10-win season in school history.
Those goals pale in comparison to what the Scarlet Knights nearly had at stake.
A golden opportunity to reach a BCS game went by the wayside, so they're relegated to playing in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando on Friday against Virginia Tech, a team just happy to be in the postseason.
Rutgers (9-3) shared the Big East crown but didn't receive the league's automatic BCS bid - the school has never earned one - because it blew a chance to win the outright title in the regular-season finale. Despite leading 14-3 late in the third quarter, the Scarlet Knights would lose 20-17 to

Schiano. That's the last time they reached double digits in wins - the only other one came in 1976.
"When you get to the 10-win mark, it separates your team and your year and puts you in a little bit of a different class," first-year coach Kyle Flood said.
Flood was an assistant as Schiano led the Scarlet Knights to victory in their last five bowl appearances. Rutgers shares that longest current streak in the country with Mississippi State, which plays New Year's Day in the Gator Bowl against Northwestern.
"Our track record in terms of getting ready for these bowl games is pretty good," said Flood, the co-Big East coach of the year. "... I think the bowl season is a new season, and we've always approached it like that."
CoachFrank Beamer got his alma mater back into bowl season, but barely. Virginia Tech (6-6) had to win its final two games to become eligible.
The Hokies are the sixth program in history to reach a bowl in 20 consecutive seasons, currently the country's third-longest run behind Florida State (30) and Florida (21).
"(This team) gave everything it had down the stretch to keep this streak going," Beamer told the school's official website. "... If we can find a way to win this game and beat Rutgers and finish with three straight wins, that would say a lot about this team and the players we have."
Beamer's teams lost in BCS games the last two years after claiming the ACC's bid, but this one finished fourth in the Coastal Division after

BRAVE Combat Federation, in collaboration with the IMMAF (International Mixed Martial Arts Federation), has announced the entire schedule for its biggest event in 2019, the International Combat Week. The promotion will return to the Kingdom of Bahrain with yet another explosive fight card, that will be preceded by the IMMAF Amateur World Championships, marking the biggest mixed martial arts festival in Asia. BRAVE president Mohammed Shahid was joined in a press conference by Kerrith Brown, head of IMMAF, and announced the full details of what promised to be the biggest International Combat Week yet, together with Bahrain MMA Federation president Col. Khalid A. Aziz Al Khayyat. “We’ve had the World Championships before they came to Bahrain, butthe development of the sport at amateur level was very slow. Now it became our job to work together with the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation in the development of MMA and to make sure as many countries and athletes as possible are able to attend. That’s our goal, to put everyone under one roof, and that roof is the International Combat Week, the largest combat sports festival in Asia”, said Shahid. Brown said he expected up to 60 nations and 550 athletes to participate in the 2019 edition of the World Championships and praised Bahrain’s initiative of taking the tournament to the highest level of mixed martial arts competition. “Our job is to empower national federations and athletes around the world.

and classifies its shipments — garner increasing national and international attention. Last week in Washington, the National Transportation Safety Board convened a “Rail Safety Forum,” bringing together different government agencies and industry officials to discuss growing challenges. And in an unprecedented move, earlier this month, a United Nations panel on hazardous materials agreed to weigh in to the matter. The panel reportedly accepted a request from American and Canadian authorities to examine whether existing shipping rules in North America properly account for how dangerous and volatile Bakken-drilled crude actually is.
Washington may well be making moves to beef up safety practices and enforcement efforts. However, the emails obtained by In These Times raise questions about how successfully that message is being transmitted to inspectors on the ground.Conservationists have confirmed that at least 26 elephants have been killed by poachers at the world-famous Dzanga Bai, a wildlife viewing site in the Dzanga-Ndoki national park in the Central African Republic (CAR). Four were calves.
The CAR has been unstable since a coup mounted by the Séléka rebel coalition brought down the government of Francois Bozizé on 24 March. Seventeen Arabic-speaking poachers, thought by local ecoguards to be Sudanese, arrived at the park on Monday in a vehicle emblazoned with the Séléka name. They were later seen shooting from a tourist viewing platform overlooking Dzanga Bai.
Dzanga Bai, also known as the "village of elephants", is a large clearing in the rainforest where between 50 and 150 elephants gather every day to drink at mineral-rich springs. This allows visitors

and researchers to observe the normally secretive African forest elephant, a different species to the larger savannah elephants found in open country elsewhere on the continent. Two-thirds of the forest elephants have been killed in the last decade.
Bas Huijbregts, head of policy at the World Wildlife Fund's illegal trade campaign in central Africa, said that he could not confirm whether the poachers were in fact under the control of the Séléka group. He said that many armed groups with unclear allegiances had been active in the area, and the WWF's offices in Dzanga-Ndoki had been looted three times since the coup.
Horse-mounted Sudanese ivory poachers have been making dry-season forays into northern areas of the Central African Republic, southern Chad and northeastern Cameroon to hunt savannah elephants for years.They killed over 300 elephants in Bouba N'Djida national park in Cameroon in December.
Sudanese poachers are highly competent hunters – "the very best" – able to kill many elephants at once, said Huijbregts. Dozens of hunters on horseback will corral elephant herds, which are then shot from the saddle. Their ivory is taken back to Khartoum, often via camel, where it is sold into poorly understood criminal smuggling networks.
Although Dzanga-Ndoki national park has armed ecoguards, they felt outgunned by the poachers and did not take them on. "You can't bring a knife to a gunfight," said Rodney Cassidy, the South African owner of an ecolodge in the area. Cassidy and his family fled Dzanga-Ndoki shortly after the coup.

risk assets under pressure. Despite comments from the US administration and Congressional leaders of willingness to compromise, markets remain unconvinced, especially given the unchanged underling stance of both Democrats and Republicans, the former towards taxing the wealthiest and the latter towards no tax hikes,” Credit Agricole said in a note.
Also affecting the market sentiment is the continuing uncertainty over Greece with delay in delivery in the next tranche of bailout package from the European Central Bank to the troubled economy. In addition, there is the concern that considering the thin majority of the present Greek government, more austerity measures could prompt the collapse of the coalition and result in more instability in the country.Eschassériaux was a député under the July Monarchy.
Later career and retirement
Eschassériaux enthusiastically supported the Coup of 18 Brumaire and became a member of the Tribunat, where he served for seven years. In 1806 Napoléon named him chargé d'affaires for the République du Valais, and then Minister Plenipotentiary to the Principality of Lucca and Piombino until 1809. He was awarded the Légion d'honneur and was later made a Baron of the Empire in 1810.
On his return from Lucca, he devoted himself to writing about history. He retired to Saintes in 1814 but signed the Acte additionnel supporting Napoleon's return during the Hundred Days. In 1816, with the Bourbon Restoration he went into exile as a regicide. He fled first to Courtrai and then to Huy, but after just

The year after Thorstein Veblen's classic Theory of the Leisure Class appeared, Theodore Dreiser's novel Sister Carrie followed. Coincidence? Not really: the two books shared many of the same themes.
Excerpt:
What of Carrie herself? That she was capable of such sensitivity of feeling testifies to the fact that sensitivity can occur in the absence of wealth – pace Thorstein Veblen. Yet Veblen would have been right about Carrie: her entire view of life was based on the desire for consumption, and a concomitant loathing for production. Therefore, she was sensitive to everything that the leisure class accumulates – from clothes to manners.

Coz and his sister were picked up by the dog warden and taken to that county's pound that gasses the dogs if they are not adopted in 48 hours.

Then a witness, who was able to provide detailed information, told police the suspect had left in a red SUV with Oregon license plates.
When police caught up with the suspect and tried to stop him, he led police on a chase that ended when he lost control of the SUV and hit the center median on eastbound Interstate 694 east and Rice Street in Shoreview, nearly 20 miles from the Maple Grove rest area officials said.

Fewer than one in four people say Britain should end the impasse by leaving the EY with No Deal, with one in three saying Brexit should be cancelled instead.
The poll findings were published as EU leaders today urged Emmanuel Macron not to 'humiliate' Mrs May at tonight's historic summit where they are expected to impose a lengthy delay to Brexit on the UK.
But the French president is the most hardline of EU leaders and wants to impose humiliating conditions on the delay - such as 'behaviour reviews' of the UK every three months that are designed to stop a new Prime Minister disrupting the EU.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council President Donald Tusk have urged the French Presidentmounted to the gaming board along elongated slots, which help guide the playing pieces along the board, and at the same time, permit a mechanical connection between the gear mechanism and the gaming piece. Rotating the gaming piece is an important aspect of the game since it permits the player to manipulate the gaming piece to permit the piece to shoot the ball, puck or similar object.
Traditional table top games are very popular, however, the elongated slots associated with these traditional games are a nuisance. Firstly, the addition of elongated slots does not permit the use of forced air levitation of the puck. Furthermore, the mechanical connection between the gearing mechanism and the player piece through the slot makes it difficult to remove gaming pieces to simulate penalty

In March 1978, Sylvia took Johnny, then five months old, to the Children's Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City for treatment of an arm disorder. Physicians at the hospital suspected child abuse or neglect and alerted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS). Johnny was placed in the emergency custody of DHS on March 9, 1978, by state court order. On March 10, DHS filed a petition in the District Court of Oklahoma County seeking to have Johnny made a ward of the court as a deprived child and to have the parental rights to Johnny terminated.

On September 7, 1978, the District Court of Oklahoma County terminated the parental rights of Antonio Anico to Johnny Ortega. (I R. 56). Neither Antonio nor his representative was present at the termination hearing.

On November 3, 1978, the Indian Child Welfare Act became law, in part effective immediately, and in part effective May 8, 1979. DHS possessed information suggesting that Johnny was an Indian child on September 12, 1979, and communicated that information to the Oklahoma County District Court on or about October 2, 1979. Nevertheless on October 7, 1979, DHS moved Johnny fromthe foster home where he was placed on May 9, 1978, to another non-Indian foster home.

On May 1, 1980, the District Court of Oklahoma County terminated the parental rights of Sylvia Ortega to Johnny Ortega, with the court reserving the right to consent to adoption. On September 4, 1980, some two years after Antonio Anico's parental rights were terminated and one day before Johnny was placed for adoption by DHS, an Order Nunc Pro Tunc was entered by the District Court of Oklahoma County finding:

The city reasoned that even if the facts as alleged by Texaus were true, the city had violated no duty to Texaus that would give rise to a cause of action.

Second, in Reynolds, the state had been entrusted with exclusive control of the furloughed prisoner by virtue of his being sentenced to the state prison; the man who assaulted Mrs. Reynolds was in the state's custody.

Chlordecone is an organochlorine pesticide, used in the Lesser Antilles from 1972 to 1993 to fight against a banana weevil. That molecule is very persistent in the natural environment and ends up in the sea with runoff waters. From 2003 to 2013, seven campaigns of samplings have been conducted to evaluate the level of contamination of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The present study is the first assessment and the first comparison of the concentrations of chlordecone between marine areas, taxonomic groups, and ecological factors like trophic groups or preferential habitat of fish species. The four most contaminated marine areas are located downstream the contaminated rivers and banana plantations. Crustaceans seemed to be more sensitive

An electric iron has been a tool widely used for pressing clothing and fabric. It has become an indispensable electric appliance in nowadays family, laundry shop and hotel, etc. Existing electric iron possesses steaming function. Water is added in a water tank of an electric iron and steam can be produced when in use. However, water and steam may remain in the water tank and other interior parts of the electric iron. This may lead to bacterial growth inside the electric iron after using the electric iron for a long period of time. When ironing clothing, water with bacteria will be ejected and will remain on the clothing. This becomes a potential threat to a user's health.

Recent research has questioned whether the European Black Death of 1347–1351 could possibly have been caused by the bubonic plague bacillus Yersinia pestis, as has been assumed for over a century. Central to the arguments both for and against involvement of Y. pestis has been a comparison of the temporal dynamics observed in confirmed outbreaks of bubonic plague in early-20th-century India, versus those reconstructed for the Black Death from English church records—specifically, from lists of institutions (appointments) to vacated benefices contained in surviving bishops’ registers. This comparison is, however, based on a statistical error arising from the fact that most of the bishops’ registers give only the dates of institution and not the dates of death.

Saeed was controversially released in November, after a court ordered an end to his house arrest under anti-terrorism laws, saying the government had failed to prove his involvement in armed activity.

not to be Nazi Germany or Japan, but the Anopheles mosquito, which spreads malaria. The film is quite insightful in how malaria is spread and how one can prepare oneself against it.
The film features the seven dwarfs from ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ (1937) as volunteers to give an example. Their precautionary actions are staged to an instrumental version of the song ‘Whistle While You Work’, which was originally associated with Snow White and some forest animals doing the household in ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ (1937).
It’s a bit surreal to watch these happy-go-lucky fairy tale characters fighting a serious disease in a modern (South) American environment. Especially because some of the precautionary methods against malaria are quite disturbing. They include spraying oil on ponds andand tell me what you think:
When the United States were forced into the war themselves, the government asked Disney to make a short to make the American citizens fill in their income tax forms in time. Disney gave them his biggest star of that time, Donald Duck, to play the everyman. The government was not impressed until the taxes came rolling in after the film was screened in cinemas.
In contrast to Disney’s earlier propaganda films for the Canadian government, this film uses entirely new animation, directed by Wilfred Jackson, and produced in the ridiculously short time period of a single month. We watch Donald listening to a slightly anthropomorphized radio. The radio asks Donald if he wants to do his part for the country and Donald is growing

more and more enthusiastic, until the radio reveals he has to pay his income tax. The radio has to persuade Donald once again, who grows enthusiastic again to the strong slogan ‘Taxes to beat the axis’ (with the axis referring to the Axis powers: Germany, Italy and Japan).
The film further explains the public how to fill in a new, simplified form, using an anthropomorphized pen, bottle of ink and blotter. Like the shorts Disney made earlier for the Canadian government (e.g. ‘The Thrifty Pig‘ and ‘7 Wise Dwarfs‘), the second half (directed by Ben Sharpsteen) consists of very limited and highly propagandistic animation with grim images of factories, guns, planes, war ships and tanks, while an intense narrator repeats the intoxicating mantra of ‘taxes to beat the axis’.
Whenmost famous film of all: ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ (1937).
The first part of ‘7 Wise Dwarfs’ reuses animation of the seven dwarfs singing the mining song and ‘Hi-ho’, but with altered lyrics and backgrounds. There is some new animation of the Dwarfs entering and leaving the bank to buy war bonds. The second part is almost the same as that of ‘The Thrifty Pig’, ending with the same powerful image of planes gunning ‘Invest in Victory’. The Seven Dwarfs would return in ‘The Winged Scourge‘ (1943), which features a lot of new animation on them.
Before The United States were dragged into the war by Japan’s attack on Pearl harbor, December 7, 1941, Walt Disney Studio already had made four propaganda shorts for the Canadian government.

Show #2 - Black Gay Men, HIV, Activism and the South: Reflections Of Our History

Three films old, Shraddha Kapoor is fast on her way to becoming Bollywood royalty. But scant little is known about her.
Two years ago, she was at break point after lukewarm responses to her first two films, Teen Patti (2010) and Luv Ka The End (2011). For someone whose dinner table chatter was always centred on cinema — father Shakti Kapoor, brother Siddhanth and aunts Padmini and Tejaswini Kolhapure are all actors — not making it was never an option.
"Of course, I was upset… there was no backup career," she tells me, sipping black coffee. Luckily, for her, the third film, Aashiqui 2, went on to become a 100-crore hit.

apartment, but that he had found the joint in his pocket after he changed clothes at her apartment and
had put it into the bag with his belongings. He had inadvertently left it in the pocket of the pants he
had been wearing when someone had given the marijuana to him the day before. When asked what
he intended to do with the marijuana, Mr. Darden said he had planned to give it to “this girl who gets
high.” He said he had stopped using marijuana about a year earlier because his employer gave
weekly drug tests.4

The IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) has emerged as the future of mobile networks. Driven by consumer demand for media-rich applications and music and video streaming, operators have needed to move up their timetables for augmenting capacity and laying a framework for future-proof data networks.
One of the side-effects of this new mobile paradigm has been the gradual erosion of traditional voice revenues, which have been the backbone of the telecoms industry for its century-long existence. In 2013, some of the world’s more developed telecoms markets – such as the US and Japan – data revenues have surpassed voice services, which have also been hindered by low-cost, third party VoIP applications.
The voice over LTE market is a natural market reaction to diminishing returns on voice services. Based on an IMSover 23,000 students.
On 17 October 2000, a major rail crash took place in Hatfield. Criticism of Railtrack after the accident was rife, and the company had to pay over £700 million in compensation. It ceased trading owing to insolvency in 2002.
The fire of 11 December 2005 at Buncefield, Hemel Hempstead, was a major disaster. Hertfordshire's Chief Fire Officer, Roy Wilsher, said it was "possibly the largest in peacetime Europe." About sixty million gallons of petrol burned, the largest of the explosions measured just under 2.5 on the Richter scale, and the smoke darkened skies in neighbouring towns for two days before it could be extinguished.

Back in 2015, Catton Hall Shooting Ground were approached by four young students from Liverpool University. Charlotte, Joanna, Sam and Ollie. They were in the early stages of building a Liverpool University Clay Shooting Team. Starting up a new sport for students to take part in had its troubles, and persuading the University to go along with a Shooting team was a task. But through an amazing amount of determination and hard work they made it happen.
Catton Hall ran ‘taster sessions’ to give those who had never shot before a chance to see what it was about, and on a Wednesday afternoon lots of students would come down to shoot on the grounds as it was the Open Practice Day. The aim

was to put together a team for BUCS (British University & Colleges Sport) Clay Shooting Championship which is held at Hodnet in the West Midlands. Shooting Teams from all over the country take part in early December, this was the dream, to win this event!
With sponsorship and help, they had managed to buy a couple of club guns for people to share and with no expectations turned up a couple of month later to compete at BUCS. A few jokes about the Liverpool team and ‘sawn off’ shotguns were made but this didn’t affect anyone. Liverpool held their own and on the day the Men’s team had finished in 2nd place and the Ladies 8th. An unbelievable achievement considering things had only been in progress for a coupleway, the new shots could learn whilst the experienced practised and prepared.
As a warm up the very first ‘Liverpool Cup’ was held in early November. The first shoot of the year.
Hosted by Catton Hall SG, the Liverpool Team ran the Day. Over 120 competed from Universities all over the country from Newcastle to Oxford. The effort made by everyone was quite magnificent. From all of those from Liverpool who help to Referee the event, and all those who travelled and shot on the day.
3:30pm, the Scores were in! Top 4 individual scores to count. The Liverpool Men’s Team has scored a Total of 335/400. Harper Adams were the usual favourites and Royal Agricultural were expected to be pretty close too. Both finished with 328. Liverpool Men had won!

Theresa May as Conservative leader? Who could succeed Theresa May as Conservative leader? Boris Johnson Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson has long been hopeful, he previously stood in the leadership contest that followed the Brexit vote and has at many times since been thought to be maneuvering himself towards the goal.

Michael Gove Environment secretary Michael Gove is another member who has long wanted to be leader. He has lately been known for rousing his party in the commons, his recent speeches on the Brexitdeal and Labour's no confidence motion have overshadowed the Prime Minister's.

until they closed it.
The incredible variety of work, projects undertaken, and seemingly impossible problems that were solved by having GCHQ staff embedded in the operational area led to a very satisfying deployment in harsh summer conditions during a time when the situation on the ground was taking a turn for the worst.
But it was not all work; I will never forget the ‘9 holes of golf’ squeezed in very early one morning with the GCHQ staff and others around an ammunition storage area. We shared one golf club between us and the highlight was the 9th hole. To get to it you had to chip the ball over a crashed and bullet-ridden aircraft..! It was not exactly St Andrew's, but it certainly was memorable.
Memories of deployment
At the heartCastle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The dormitory, once housing dozens of sparse, narrow cells where monks slept and studied, became a library in the 19th century.
Visitors may study charts depicting the daily rhythm of life in the monastic community, which began its day at 6 a.m. and concluded it with silence from 7:30 p.m., other than hourly prayer until midnight. Monks ate mostly fish and bread.
The Normans began building a monastery in 1093 on the site of Cuthbert’s shrine. It was taken over during the Reformation but later restored. In 1650, worship at the cathedral was disrupted when Oliver Cromwell turned it into a prison for 3,000 Scottish soldiers after the Battle of Dunbar. Many were buried in mass graves discovered in 2013.

each known as the jungle. Computer-controlled "minions" for each team walk down the lanes, and human players earn gold (which can be used to buy items) and experience for killing minions (or other players, or buildings, etc.).
The members of each team go to different parts of this map depending on their position. In general, there will be one person in the top lane, one person in the middle (or "mid") lane, two people in the bottom (or "bot") lane and one person roaming the jungle. Two go in the bottom lane for better control of the dragon early on.
The goal of the game is to destroy the other team's base, the "Nexus." The Nexus and the lanes are protected by towers, strong buildings that do a lot ofnearly 200 items, each with unique skills and abilities. Riot consistently tweaks the game to try and make sure it is balanced, so most champions are at least somewhat viable, depending on the situation. Coming up with successful team compositions and buying the right items for in-game situations are vital to a team's success.
Before each game is the pick-and-ban phase, where teams choose three champions to ban from the game, and then alternate in snake draft format picking champions. Teams usually have a team composition in mind coming into the match, but have to be fluid depending on the opposition's picks and bans.
In-game, teams communicate via headset to coordinate movements and strategies. Korean and Chinese teams are known for playing very aggressively, while North American teams have been

criticized for their more conservative approaches.
What other terms should I know?
AD carry: One of two players in the bottom lane. The AD stands for "attack damage," while carry is meant to imply the position's ability to "carry" the team with late-game damage.
CC: Stands for "crowd control," and refers to abilities that stun or slow enemy champions.
Dive: A strategic (and often risky!) decision to attempt to kill an enemy champion positioned under a tower, usually requiring great team coordination.
Gank: A term for when a champion (or group of champions) picks off a vulnerable champion and kills them. This is usually done by the jungler.
Jungler: A team's jungler kills the neutral monsters between the lanes and attempts to help gain an early advantage by ganking in advantageous situations.
Mid laner: Thechampion in the mid lane, usually responsible for contributing high amounts of magic damage.
Tank: A champion with high defensive statistics and abilities.
Top laner: The champion in the top lane, and probably the most flexible in terms of champion diversity. Tanks, high damage-dealers and even some support champions can be picked here.
Siege: A team making a strong effort to destroy a tower and move towards the Nexus.
Support: Joining the AD carry in the bottom lane, a support's role is primarily in helping the other champions on the team rather than doing high levels of damage.
Ultimate: A champion's best ability, usually on a longer cooldown.
Wards: Provide vision around the map.
