v.
Buena W. GOODWIN and Ike Goodwin.
SC 2401.
Supreme Court of Alabama.
July 29, 1977.
Myron K. Allenstein, Gadsden, for appellant.
John S. Casey, Heflin, for appellees.
SHORES, Justice.
The plaintiff-appellant in this case is the father of defendant-appellee Buena W. Goodwin. Ike Goodwin is the plaintiff's son-in-law. The litigation involves an 81-acre farm located in Cleburne County.
On February 9, 1976, the plaintiff filed a complaint against his daughter and son-in-law in ejectment or alternatively seeking a sale for division of the land involved. In the first count, the plaintiff alleged that he claimed the right of possession of the land; in the second, he alleged that he and the defendants were joint owners of the land, that it could not be equitably divided and should be sold for division.

fee simple.
The plaintiff admits that his wife, defendant Buena Goodwin's mother, was given title to the property by a divorce decree rendered in 1948. He, in addition, executed a deed conveying the property to his former wife. He and his former wife remarried in 1954. His wife died in 1967 and left a will devising the property to defendant Buena Goodwin. Thereafter, the plaintiff took possession of the property and Buena Goodwin instituted proceedings in Cleburne County to establish title to the property under her mother's will. She was successful.
The plaintiff contends, however, that he should be allowed an opportunity to prove in this case that, by the remarriage, he and his wife intended to repudiate the prior divorce decree and deed and revest title in him.
We thinkMakazole Mapimpi scored a hat-trick as South Africa rounded off their Rugby World Cup preparations with a resounding 41-7 win over Japan in Kumagaya on Friday.
Japan stunned the Springboks at the World Cup in England four years ago but there was no chance of a repeat as Rassie Erasmus’ side surged to a commanding victory that maintained their unbeaten record in 2019.
Cheslin Kolbe opened the scoring in the corner before Mapimpi got off the mark following some excellent work from Willie le Roux, who plucked down a high ball and shook off his marker to send the wing through.
Despite Japan enjoying plenty of possession, the Springboks took a 22-0 lead into half-time when Handre Pollard added a penalty to a routine second from Mapimpi.

he motored away with Pieter-Steph du Toit’s pass to complete his hat-trick, but Kotaro Matsushima – born in Pretoria – pulled one back to the delight of the home support.
South Africa finished the match a man light due to Francois Louw being sent to the sin bin following repeated team infringements, but Kolbe charged home from inside his own 22 and Herschel Jantjies scored his fourth try in as many Tests to send the Rugby Championship winners into the World Cup full of confidence.

The star is swaddled in gas and dust. The folks running Hubble offered more information: RS Puppis rhythmically brightens and dims over a six-week cycle. It is one of the most luminous in the class of so-called Cepheid variable stars. Its average intrinsic brightness is 15,000 times greater than our Sun's luminosity. The nebula flickers in brightness as pulses of light from the Cepheid propagate outwards. Hubble took a series of photos of light flashes rippling across the nebula in a phenomenon known as a "light echo."

July 29: Chelyabinsk Meteor From Space What are those strange, long clouds hovering over the limb of the Earth? They are streaks in the upper atmosphere left behind by a meteorite that flared over Chelyabinsk in Russia on Feb. 15. The spectacular bolide that exploded over the Russian populace made international headlines when it was recorded by dozens of bystanders and dashcams. The event shook everyone in their morning routine and drew attention to the fact that meteors regularly impact the Earth.

Five liters of oxygen was applied via a facial mask and a neurosurgeon checked motor and sensory functions. A few minutes later, he complained of nausea and 10 mg of metoclopramide was administered intravenously. Approximately 10 minutes after this administration, he complained that he could not see his nose. On examination, it was found that he had a bilaterally fixed upward, lateral gaze. His pupils

VAIL, Colorado - For the first time since March, drought conditions in part of Eagle County are no longer severe, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Eastern Eagle County, along with all of Summit and Lake counties, was reduced to "D1," moderate drought intensity, on the Tuesday monitor, which was released Thursday. This headwaters region comprises 2 percent of Colorado and is the only area in the state not in severe, extreme, or exceptional drought (D2, D3, and D4, respectively, on the Drought Monitor's D0 to D4 scale). Western Eagle County remains at D2, severe.
Drought conditions began locally in January due to poor snowpack. Conditions in Eagle County became severe in April after the driest March on record and elevated to extreme by early June.

in a Cold War paradigm that Western policy-makers still seem to depend upon — that Russia and America and the EU must be in a zero-sum game. They are guilty of it themselves. It was Brussels that imposed a November deadline on Ukraine to sign its EU association agreement. Its failure to do so is one of the causes of the events we now see in that country.
In some ways it is a situation that had improved in recent months, with Russia taking the lead in stripping Syria of its chemical weapons stockpile, not to mention with its Olympic ring that deliberately didn’t open at the Sochi closing ceremony, showing that it does have a sense of humour.

This is the either the number of Jacks or Unters held in unbroken sequence, beginning with the Jack of Clubs or Unter of Acorns or, alternatively, the number not held in unbroken sequence. The number of matadors plus one is then multiplied by the base value of the trump suit (Bells: 9, Hearts: 10, Leaves: 11, Acorns: 12 or Grand: 24). For example, if Bells are trumps and the declarer holds the Unters of Acorns, Leaves and Hearts, but not Bells, his score is (3+1) x 9 = 36.

Chinese Business
Culture Do's and Don'ts
1. The traditional Chinese "handshake" consists of
interlocking the fingers, waving them up and down several times. This
greeting is rarely used today (except during festivals, weddings and
birthdays of the elderly), instead using the Western-style handshake. A
slight bow should often accompanies the handshake, but do not bow from
the waist in the style of the Japanese. The Chinese prefer a gentler
handshake than the firm grip expected in Western cultures. Physical
contact other than a handshake is highly discouraged unless you know
someone quite well.
2. Chinese names are "reversed" from Western names. The surname is said
first and then the given name. For example, Bruce Lee's name in
Cantonese is Lee Siu Lung. Lee is his surname and spoken first, and the
given name (Little Dragon) is spoken second.

The recent deployment of Blackjacks to Venezuela came after a surge in American aerial activity along Russia’s western flank after the Kremlin launched an unprovoked attack on Ukrainian naval vessels in the Kerch Strait, which separates the Black Sea from the Sea of Azov, on Nov. 25, 2018. The United States and its allies condemned Russia's actions and offered to increase military and other support for Ukraine, to the ire of the Kremlin. That the Tu-160s have the ability to carry nuclear weapons, including nuclear-armed cruise missiles that give a stand-off capability, would also give the forward location an added deterrent quality, presentingan unprecedented standing strategic threat to the mainland United States within the Western Hemisphere. The outpost could also potentially accommodate other types of combat aircraft, as well as anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles and associated radars and other sensors. All of this would present potential threats to American warships and combat aircraft operating in the Caribbean during a crisis. China has already had increasing success in denying maritime areas to opponents, including the United States, by using similarly militarized islands in the South China Sea.

member of the Russian contingent, at right, gives a Venezuelan officer a Tu-160 model after arriving in the country on Dec. 10, 2018.
In establishing a more permanent Venezuelan outpost, Russia would gain a foothold it hasn’t had in the Caribbean region since the height of the Cold War and it would also be better able to help shield a friendly regime from outside intervention in the process – a model that has worked particularly well for the Kremlin in defending the Syrian regime of dictator Bashar Al Assad. Though there is no clear evidence to support claims that the U.S. government is actively seeking to overthrow Maduro, the Venezuelan president repeatedly claims that foreign agents from the United States and elsewhere are attempting to destabilize his regime. Maduro'sattacks have only grown amid President Donald Trump regular suggestions that he could launch a military intervention into the country and that his administration has met with potential coup plotters. Maduro, who took power in 2013 after the death of his populist predecessor Hugo Chavez, has overseen the country as it has slid into a massive economic crisis characterized by hyperinflation and shortages of basic necessities. He has responded by consolidating power and cracking down on opposition political parties, who say his domestic policies are to blame.

The autopsy report from the Knox County Regional Forensic Center revealed Monday that William Lee Hill Jr., 30, died of an “accidental methamphetamine intoxication” in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in September, prior to his remains being scavenged by a bear.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials released the autopsy report Monday.

Hill, from Louisville, Tenn., was found off-trail in the park on Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018 off Rich Mountain Road two miles north of Cades Cove. At the time of discovering his body, park officials found a bear feeding off his body.
Without knowing the exact cause of death, park officials and wildlife professionals made the decision to euthanize the bear, which occurred a few days latergenetic muscular diseases, extreme body temperatures.

The Sunken City of San Pedro (a community in Los Angeles city limits) is what remains of a devastating slow-moving landslide that occurred 85 years ago. A large area of land on the coast began abruptly sliding into the sea, spurring the prompt evacuation of those who had once peacefully resided in the area’s cheery bungalows. Fortunately, everyone got out safely, and even most of the homes were saved, but a few of the old bungalows went crashing into the ocean.

best for their family without having any idea how to accomplish that. The cinematography is just as honest, following the kids playing in the fields, crossing through the woods, and playing in streams—all the while taking for granted the beautiful natural world they're inhabiting. And while the sound quality was sometimes lacking, the use of field recordings of day and night lent an organic music to the soundtrack. Finally, the place feels completely out-of-time, and the film gives no indications it was made in 1967.

second short feature, it wasn't nearly as good. It's a schlocky tale of a doctor who invents a sleep serum that he uses to bury his victims alive. Like White Zombie, his target is a woman in love with another man.
The Manchurian Candidate at home on LaserDisc, December 20: I'm no fan of Frank Sinatra—particularly his smarmy playboy-thug persona—but I found him tolerable, if a bit out-classed in this. It's about a group of soldiers in Korea who are captured and cleverly brainwashed by The Communists. When they finally return to the U.S., they are unknowingly part of a tense plot. Laurence Harvey as Ray shines here as the centerpiece of the plot, but the knockout performance comes from Angela Lansbury as Ray's devious mother, Eleanor. Overall themovie kept me guessing—at least as far as the particulars—but I was a bit distracted by the absurd implausibility of it all.
The Unholy Three at the Dryden, December 22: Jenn and I went to see this film with Lon Chaney as a ventriloquist, joining forces with a midget and a strongman to commit crimes. The plot was interesting and at least passingly plausible, if a bit convoluted. I did find it very funny that Chaney plays a ventriloquist in a silent film—how easy to seem so incredibly talented! There is, however, also bit of pitch-dark humor spread throughout in what is ultimately a morality tale.

me at my request since I hadn't seen it. I thought it should be subtitled "Scenery Chewing" since that's what the myriad of powerhouse stars did: ham it up. The central plot is about a couple workers at a gym who bumble into trying to sell government secrets for money. The secondary plots revolve largely around a polygon of infidelity that further confounds the main story. The storyline ends up pretty flavorless, dosed in spices by the actors.
Slapstick of Another Kind at home on Laserdisc, December 27: The cover of this disc made the movie look terrible and, well, it was. It's ostensibly based on a novel called Slapstick: or, Lonesome No More!: A Novel by Kurt Vonnegut. While I've only read a couple summaries of the sourceand as the children, and numerous comics make appearances as well in the cast. The humor is as broad and lifeless as possible, and the plot is terribly boring. But I came to conclude it may be a perfect telling of a story about humankind being unable and incapable of anything but mediocre intelligence: while the book comes from one of the most highly regarded authors of all time, the movie is the product of average people who couldn't help but drag the quality to one of lackluster banality.

to Italy, the wordsmithy script was readily apparent. The barely likeable Bob was matched to even less likeable characters. I found myself way too ahead of the film, or at least clued-in to the key points long before they were revealed as a surprise. Contrived situations aside, the wordsmithiness makes for a perfectly acceptable story and an interesting movie to watch. It just has its weaknesses. Jenn had further noticed that Tom Hardy played Bob and Coogan and Brydon relentlessly and hilariously mocked Hardy's mumbling speaking style.
Appropriate Behavior at the Little, October 17: Jenn and I went to the other ImageOut Film Festival film festival tonight. It's the tale of falling in and out of love too fast and maintains a cunning and funny wit all throughout. Ouronly complaint is that the lead character Shirin's love interest Maxine seemed kind of cruel and unlikeable, so it was hard to believe in any severity to the breakup, and although real love is strange, movie love needs to be believable.

solely because it's convenient to the plot. The pedant in me had some fits as well, like when talking to the police about a child gone missing, the mother doesn't bother mentioning a substantial event until she's about to leave, again solely for the sake of the writing but wholly incongruous with reality.
The Shining in Hoyt Auditorium on the UofR Campus, October 31: Despite an astonishingly bad digital projection (did Kubrick really intend for a lot of saturated fuchsia, muddy contrast, and a clunky judder on every panning shot?), this film sure stands the test of time. It's about a couple with a young boy who act as caretakers of a huge, desolate resort through the winter. Most people already know the basic plot, but I'm giving thebenefit of the doubt since this is the first time I ever saw it—despite being quite a film buff. I was stunned at how gripping the tension was, and how amazing all the performances were. And despite the lousy projection and sound (making it seem like the videotape of a community theater production), the story was thoroughly disturbing. I also appreciated the brilliant methodical pacing which was spot-on perfect—a lesser film would have seemed draining and insufferably long by comparison.

It all seems like a way to make money since it's amateur, accessible, and popular. (Oh, and we did leave early, so technically this one should count as half.)
Kill Your Darlings at the Little, November 26: Jenn and I decided to see this before we realized "Enough Said" closed that night. The film is quite good — probably more so because I know little of the life of Allen Ginsberg as it's often the mistake made and liberties taken about a familiar subject that distract us from a story. So to go back a sentence: it's about the early life of Allen Ginsbergas he went to Columbia University and met Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. And how his homosexuality blossomed, and how a seldom-mentioned murder surrounded that group of friends. In all it's a captivating story and worth checking out perhaps because you also know little of Ginsberg's life. Or you want to try to unequivocally destroy a connection between Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter.
Philomena at the Little, November 27: Jenn and I wanted to see another film, but decided to check this out as an alternative. As it turns out, it was an interesting story and an enjoyable film. Judy Dench is fantastic and Steve Coogan holds his own pretty well at her side. It may help that it's based on a true story, so frequently that lends a

The next meeting of the selection committee, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to pick the new CBI director will take place on Friday, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, who is also member of the panel, said Wednesday.
The last meeting of the panel took place on January 24 but it remained “inconclusive”.
“The next meeting of the panel on selection of the CBI chief will take place on February 1 at around 6 PM,” Kharge told reporters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads the three-member panel with Kharge and Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi as its members.

On October 23, 1995, twenty-four days after the EEOC letter was issued, Lowery filed this lawsuit. In addition to filing her lawsuit on this date, Lowery filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis and a motion for appointment of counsel. A hearing was conducted on her motions on January 3, 1996. On May 30, 1996, United States Magistrate Judge Judith Guthrie issued a report recommending the denial of Lowery's motion. The undersigned adopted Judge Guthrie's recommendation in a July 18, 1996 order. On August 1, 1996, Lowery was ordered to pay a $120 filing fee by September 3, 1996, in order to proceed with her lawsuit. Lowery paid the fee on August 23, 1996.

Rather than hang up I agreed to answer his questions. He asked me if I knew a soda tax would be on the ballot in Berkeley in November. When I said yes, he then asked whether I trusted the Berkeley city government to spend the revenues wisely.
At that moment I recognized a classic "push poll," which is part of a paid political campaign.
So I asked Spencer a couple of questions of my own. Who was financing his survey? "Americans for Food and Beverage Choice," he answered. Who was financing this group? "The American Beverage Association," he said.

I didn't get to ask him my third question: Who's financing the American Beverage Association? It didn't matter. I knew the answer: Pepsico and Coca Cola.
Welcome to Berkeley, California: Ground Zero in the Soda Wars.
Fifty years ago this month, Berkeley was the epicenter of the Free Speech Movement. Now, Berkeley is moving against Big Soda.
The new movement isn't nearly dramatic or idealistic as the old one, but the odds of victory were probably better fifty years ago. The Free Speech Movement didn't challenge the profitability of a one of the nation's most powerful industries.
Sugary drinks are blamed for increasing the rates of chronic disease and obesity in America. Yet efforts to reduce their consumption through taxes or other measures have gone nowhere. The beverage industry has spent millionstax if revenues are spent on healthy initiatives, it will be an uphill fight.
Since 2009, some thirty special taxes on sugary drinks have been introduced in various states and cities, but none has passed. Not even California's legislature, with Democratic majorities in both houses, could enact a proposal putting warning labels on sodas.
Even New York City's former and formidable mayor Michael Bloomberg -- no slouch when it came to organizing -- lost to Big Soda. He wanted to limit the size of sugary drinks sold in restaurants and other venues to16 ounces.
But the beverage industry waged a heavy marketing campaign against the proposal, including ads featuring the Statue of Liberty holding up a giant soda instead of a torch. It also fought it through the courts. Finally the

a system (theoretic) and a way of life (practical-
applying the theory). Socrates already criticized sophists. They were payed to
teach philosophy (and rhetoric, logic etc.) but didn't apply philosophy to
themselves. Platonism, Epicureanism, Stoicism were all both a system and a way
of life.
This distinction disappeared, but not totally, with Christianity. Christianity
was seen as the ultimate philosophy, bringing a system and a way of life
together and making it popular as the ultimate, definitive and right system.
Whereas in the ancient Greece philosophy and religion were both side by side
in the live of people, with Christianity they were mixed together. Only the
theoretic foundations of philosophy remained and were taught, since there were
not needs anymore for a way of life.

what he had of the lore of travel on ice-bound oceans, Dr. Cook owed
much to his journey to the antarctic region in 1897.
On
that expedition he figured, as the medical man of a party of Belgian
scientists, who sought to traverse and chart some of the dim, unknown
lands on the "bottom of the world." As every reader knows,
a venture into the far south is as perilous as a journey in the
arctic. Indeed, the dangers are in some respect greater. The paths
v/here a few men have trod are not so well known down there, and the
cold is equally severe. Then, too, the south polar seas are much
farther from any of the great centers of civilization. Countries of

seaports, with
endless quantities of supplies. Woe betide the explorer who,
tempest-tossed and with his soul almost frozen within him, seeks
shelter on the bleak coast of extreme South America.
Into
this vast and terrifying region, however, Dr. Cook was chosen to go.
With a large party of scientists and adventurers he left Antwerp in
August, 1897. By January 23 of the following year the vessel had
reached the Palmer archipelago, nearly at the limit of where men had
penetrated. The party was seeking knowledge rather than attempting a
pole-finding feat, and they gave much time to the exploration of five
hundred miles of new land in the South Pacific. In the meantime
winter came upon them, and though during many of the coldest months
they succeeded in keeping clear of the drift, by March 4, 1898, they
were fast in theof the 13th.

the west the sky was perfectly clear. A dark smoky zone near the
horizon indicated the limits of the ice and an open sea beyond. Those
were of a size and type quite similar to those of the Arctic Sea. The
entire mass — icebergs, sea-ice, and the ship — rose and fell
with the gigantic heave of the South Pacific, and for a time it
seemed as though we should be carried with the moving drift against
one of a number of small islands. But a change in the direction of

squalls of rain and sleet and snow. Hour after hour it
blew harder, and before night it brought with it a heavy sea studded
with moving mountains of blackness.
The
'Belgica' ran westerly before it, almost under bare poles and edged
closer and closer toward the fragments of ice to the south, where the
sea was easier.
"The
sky to the north and east was smoky and wavy, as if a number of huge
fires were there sending out gusts of smoke. On the southern sky
there was a bright pearly zone. This was an ice 'blink,' a reflection
of the ice beyond our horizon upon the particles of watery vapor
suspended in the air. As night came upon us it became necessary to
choose between the forbidding blackness of the north and the more
cheerful, but less hospitable whiteness of themore
and more, in long, easy swells, as we passed through the ice. This
eased the ship and made matters more comforting to the sufferers from
seasickness.
"I
must hasten to confess that about one half of us were thus afflicted
at this time, still we tried to be cheerful. I cannot imagine any
scene more despairing, though, than the 'Belgica,' as she pushed into
the pack during this black night. The noise was maddening. Every
swell that drove against the ship brought with it tons of ice which
was thrown against the ribs with a thundering crash. The wind howled
as it rushed past us, and came with a force that made us grasp the
rails to keep from being thrown into the churning seas. The good old
ship kept up a constant scream of complaints as she struck piece

of one of the parties in the
last century. This was the crew of the Investigator, one of the ships
that went north in an endeavor to find traces of Sir John Franklin's
expedition.
Says
the description of this mishap:
"It
was a very narrow escape from destruction. A light breeze springing
up the day after open water appeared among the floes, the pack to
which the Investigator was attached began to drift. It was carried
towards a shoal upon which a huge mass of ice was grounded. A corner
of the pack came in contact with the great stationary mass with a
grinding shock that sent pieces of twelve and fourteen feet square
flying completely out of the water, and as the immense weight of the
moving pack pressed forward, there was a sound as of distant thunder
as it crushed onwards.The weight at the back caused an enormous mass
to upheave in the middle of the pack, as though under the influence
of a volcanic eruption. The great field was rent asunder, the block
to which the Investigator was attached taking the ground and
remaining fixed, while the lighter portion swung round and, with
accelerated speed, came directly towards the vessel's stern.
"To
let go every cable and hawser which held her to the block was the
work of a moment, for every one was on deck keenly on the lookout.
The moving mass caught her stern and forced her ahead and from
between the moving floe and the stationary mass. The two came into
grinding collision, and the men on the deck of the vessel saw the
great bulk to which they had been attached slowly rise. It went

up
and up until it had risen thirty feet above the surface and hung
perpendicularly above the ship. It towered higher than the foreyard,
presenting a spectacle that was at once grandly impressive but
terribly dangerous, for if it fell over upon the Investigator she
would be crushed to atoms. For a few moments the suspense was awful,
till the weight of the floe broke away a mass from the great bulk,
and it rolled back with a tremendous roar and rending and, with some
fearful heaves, resumed its former position. But no longer could it
withstand the pressure, and it was hurried forward with the rest of
the floe, grinding along the bottom of the shoal.

"The
pack having set in towards the shore,the only hopes of safety lay in
keeping with the ice, for if the Investigator was pushed ashore by it
there would be little chance of her ever floating again. She was
consequently made fast again and carried along, though with a
tremendous strain on her stern and rudder. It was discovered that the
latter was damaged, but there was no possibility of unshipping it for
repairs while the ice was moving. Towards the afternoon the wind
having dropped, the drift became less, and for five hours the rudder
received attention.
"Scarcely
had it been replaced when once more the ice began to move, and the
crew saw that they were being forced directly upon a large piece of
the broken floe which had grounded. Feeling certain that if the ship

Fruman and Parnas have been charged with trying to funnel foreign money to candidates in federal and state elections, according to a newly unsealed indictment. Their alleged goal was to persuade a congressman to get the US ambassador to Ukraine removed from her post because she was frustrating efforts led by Trump and his allies to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender to challenge Trump in next year’s election. Separately, they allegedly hoped to gain support for a marijuana business they hoped to open in Nevada.

to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter. Giuliani was not named in the indictment, according to The Washington Post. Democrats in the House of Representatives subpoenaed Fruman and Parnas on Thursday as part of their impeachment inquiry into Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
But before they ended up in handcuffs at Dulles International Airport, they were among the guests of honor at Young Israel’s annual gala on March 31 at the Marriott Marquis in Midtown Manhattan. The gala was centered on supporting Trump and Israeli West Bank settlements, and the keynote speakers were Republicans, among them House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. Giuliani attended as well.

Young Israel, which has more than 100 member congregations in North America, has sparked controversy among its affiliate synagogues for its outspoken advocacy of right-wing causes. Earlier this year, the group was the first American Jewish organization to support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s brokering a deal with an extremist right-wing political party. A Young Israel staff member gave a benediction at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference.
Following the statement on Netanyahu’s deal, nearly two dozen Young Israel synagogues signed a statement in protest and asked the national group to refrain from commenting on political issues. One of those congregations later left the Young Israel movement.

that the group also visited the Israeli settlement in Hebron.
In November, Frager hosted the two men and Giuliani at his home for a meal after they visited the gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement.
And at the gala in March, Parnas and Fruman were honored with the Chovevei Zion, or Lovers of Zion, award. Frager says he gave the two men the award — among a larger group of honorees — so that they would donate to Young Israel.
But none of it resulted in a donation to Young Israel, Frager said. Beyond a contribution to defray some of the costs of the trip, the two men never opened their checkbooks for the synagogue association that gave them an award.

The Opposition MDP accused him of being the chief "spin doctor" for President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom while independent human rights NGOs such as Hama Jamiyya hail him as a champion of human rights.
He is one of the co-founders of New Maldives, a group within the former regime who spearheaded the drive to make the Maldives a modern liberal democracy. Together with his cabinet colleague, Dr Hassan Saeed, Shaheed is the author of the Roadmap for Reform, unveiled on 27 March 2006,dated October 3, 1967, (hereinafter called Will 1).
The undisputed facts are: Rose N. Gordon, a 72 year old widow, who lived a more or less secluded life on her 80 acre farm in Polk County, Arkansas, following the death of her husband in 1965, died testate on March 17, 1968. She had no children, but was survived by three sisters, a brother and a niece, all of whom were non-residents and with whom she had had little or no association for the past twenty or thirty years. She was also survived by a 40 year old foster son, whom she never adopted, Paul E. Sarver, sometimes referred to as Earnest E. Sarver, who was in the Navy stationed in California, with his wife and four children. At the

time of her death the decedent owned an 80 acre farm in Polk County on which she lived (which she and her husband had acquired in 1956), the household furnishings situated therein, certain cattle, farm machinery and motor vehicles, shares of stock in various corporations and cash on deposit in a bank.
Mrs. Gordon, in the approximately 5 months preceding her death, made two different Wills and a Codicil to the latter, each of which was prepared by a highly respected member of the Bar. The first Will, which we shall call Will 1, was dated October 3, 1967, and was prepared by Mr. Nabors Shaw, the family attorney since 1956, at his office at Mena, Arkansas, and was duly executed there by Mrs. Gordon and attested as requiredby law, and left in the attorney's vault for safekeeping. Under this Will, Mrs. Gordon devised and bequeathed her entire estate to the foster son Paul E. Sarver and his wife for their lives, and then on their death, to this couple's four children in fee simple, naming a local banker as Executor.
This Will remained in the attorney's office five or six weeks until the middle of November 1967, when Mrs. Gordon sent for it and had it brought to her home. Upon receiving it, she read it before the people present, then tore the Will proper from the attesting Affidavit and handed it to one of the persons present asking him to put it on the fire to burn in the fireplace in front of which she

was sitting, which he did. The Will was burned at her direction and she retained only the Affidavit.
The second Will, which, together with the Codicil thereto hereinafter mentioned dated January 23, 1968, we shall call Will 2, was made approximately six weeks after Will 1 was burned and dated January 7, 1968. This Will was prepared by Mr. Max Witt, an attorney of Mount Ida, for whom she had sent, in the home of Mrs. Gordon on that date, a Sunday, and was duly executed there by Mrs. Gordon and attested as required by law. Later a Codicil to this Will was prepared by Mr. Witt at his office and sent to Mrs. Gordon on January 23, 1968, at the Mena Hospital, where she was then a patient,where it was executed by Mrs. Gordon and attested as required by law.
Under this Will, which contained a standard revocation clause, and the Codicil thereto, Mrs. Gordon bequeathed her household furnishings, cattle, farm machinery and motor vehicles, except one car, which she left her Executor, to Clark Cude and Wayne Cude, two neighboring teenage boys, to whom she had previously deeded her 80 acre farm (in which deed she had reserved unto herself a life estate), the sons of a friend and neighbor who had assisted or worked for her about her farm during the *894 last several years of her and her husband's life, and who had assisted in caring for her during the last months of her life. She disposed of the remainder of her property

by specific bequests of a baby grand piano to a niece, Margaret Stimsman; 100 shares of common stock in the Polk County Farmers Association to the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Hutchinson, Kansas; 318 shares of stock in the El Paso Electric Company to the Salvation Army in El Paso, Texas; 120 shares of stock in the El Paso Natural Gas Company to a sister, Anna Black of Teague, Texas; and the cash on deposit in the bank to her Executor to pay the taxes and farming expenses on the farm which she had previously deeded to Clark Cude and Wayne Cude.
In Will 2, which not only revoked all prior Wills, Mrs. Gordon specifically excluded the foster son, to whom she had devised and bequeathed her entire estatein Will 1, by the following provision, and we quote:
"Eight: I have helped raise a boy, EARNEST E. SARVER, and he has already been provided for, and IT IS MY WILL, AND I EXPRESSLY STATE THAT EARNEST E. SARVER RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, FROM MY ESTATE OR PROPERTY."
She named Archie Cude, a neighbor and the father of Clark and Wayne Cude, the principal beneficiaries under Will 2 and the persons to whom she had deeded her farm, as Executor of her estate without bond, and provided that in the event that he was unable to serve as such Executor, that her attorney, Max Witt, was to serve as Executor without bond.
Upon Mrs. Gordon's death on March 17, 1968, Archie Cude, as the person nominated as Executor in Will 2,

filed and offered for Probate Will 2 (the Will dated January 7, 1968, and the Codicil thereto dated January 23, 1968) together with the required proofs of attesting witnesses, with the request that he be appointed Executor of Mrs. Gordon's estate as directed by said Will. Mr. Cude also filed a separate intervention requesting the Probate of Will 2 and the denial of the Petition for the Appointment of a Successor Guardian to administer Mrs. Gordon's estate filed by John W. Gordon and Earnest E. Sarver (which said Petition does not appear in the record).
The three sisters and brother of Mrs. Gordon, the foster son and his wife and four children, contestants below and Appellants herein, filed objections to the Probate of the proffered Will dated January 7,will contest cases.
General Testimony: Mrs. Gordon lived alone on her farm after her husband's death with her cattle, numerous birds and cats, and operated it herself with the help of friends and neighbors. She was a strong willed person, with certain peculiarities. From 1962, after an operation, to November 1967, she had a friend and companion named Alice Ferguson, who normally drove her. She had little or no contact with her sisters and brother, and had been visited by the foster son only five times since she came to Arkansas in 1956 to the time of her death in 1968.
In the fall of 1967, Dr. Calvin Austin discovered she had advanced carcinoma of the rectum, without hope of cure. When she learned of this, she sent for the

day and she was upset about that as well as the missing money. Cude contacted the lawyer to get him to postpone the hearing for a week until she could do something, and it was put off indefinitely. Mr. McMillan also intervened in her behalf. When Alice Ferguson refused to help her, Cude offered to look after her and her property and help her until she could get someone or hire somebody. Mrs. Gordon's attitude towards the foster son, doctor, lawyer and Alice Ferguson changed from that point on. After this Cude and his family helped Mrs. Gordon with them doing the physical work and her making the decisions and managing things.
Mrs. Gordon remained in the hospital until November 4, 1967, during which time Charlie McMillan, a closefriend and fellow church member of Mrs. Gordon, at her request, obtained from the proposed guardian all the papers given him by the foster son after the Petition for his appointment as her guardian was filed and also her first Will (Will 1) from the attorney who was holding it and delivered them to Mrs. Gordon.
After Mrs. Gordon returned home and received the papers from the proposed guardian and the first Will, she burned the Will in the presence of witnesses stating that she was through with it, but retained the Affidavit as that was the first attorney's opinion that she was competent. She then wrote notes to and called several attorneys outside of Mena, stating she wanted one totally unconnected with her former friends, to get their

assistance in making a new Will and disposing of her property.
After several unsuccessful attempts to obtain a lawyer who could come to her home, she finally sent a note by Archie Cude to Max Witt at Mount Ida, who with his wife drove to Mrs. Gordon's home one Sunday, where, on January 7, 1968, he prepared Will 2, and a Warranty Deed conveying the farm to Clark and Wayne Cude, the minor sons of Archie Cude, retaining a life estate unto herself, both of which were executed as required by law. The Deed was recorded January 8, 1968. On January 22, 1968, Max Witt, at the written directions of Mrs. Gordon, prepared a Power of Attorney authorizing Archie Cude, her nominated Executor in Will 2 and the fatherproponents offer the testimony of twelve (12) witnesses including the attorney who prepared Will 2 and his wife and the attesting witnesses to both the Will and Codicil, each of whom clearly and unequivocally testify as to the normalcy of the facts and circumstances surrounding Mrs. Gordon at the time she dictated the terms to be inserted in her Will, and executed it, and the deed, as well as at the time the Codicil, Power of Attorney and new deed were made and to the complete competency to make a will under the rules followed by this Court as hereinafter set out, as well as to the absence of fraud or undue influence on the part of Cude. Even Mrs. Gordon's regular physician, called by contestants, testifies that

charge of fraud and undue influence is based primarily upon the fact Mrs. Gordon revoked her Will of October 3, 1967, in which she left all of her property to a foster son and his family and by deed and her Will of January 7, 1968, deeded or devised all of that property to her neighbors, Archie Cude and his sons.
It is evident from the testimony that after the episode in which the foster son sought to have a guardian appointed for Mrs. Gordon and the subject of the missing money and other articles from the home, Mrs. Gordon became estranged from the foster son and alienated from his family and sought new friends for help and solace, the Cudes. The Cudes cared for Mrs. Gordon and apparentlyMy header

confronted a store employee, by grabbing the employee’s neck,
pointing the weapon at his neck, and throwing the employee to
the ground. Bell then began to remove cash from the register.
The employee attempted to stop the theft by grabbing Bell’s
arm, causing Bell to strike the employee with the weapon. The
blow caused a piece of the weapon to break off, at which time
the employee realized the firearm was fake. The firearm Bell
carried was, in reality, a plastic gun. The employee then stood
up and attempted to stop the robbery. There was a struggle
during which Bell pushed the employee away, allowing him
and Robinson to flee the store with approximately $1,000.00
in cash.
During the sentencing hearing, Bell’s counsel read a

belief is that McCarthy will call plays in 2020, several sources indicated he was impressed by Moore, who has only two seasons of coaching experience.
Fassel had been the Rams' special-teams coordinator since 2012, and he has regularly overseen one of the top units in the league. In 2017, kicker Greg Zuerlein, punter Johnny Hekker, returner Pharoh Cooper and long-snapper Jake McQuaide were named to the Pro Bowl.
"'Bones' Fassel has been an integral part of our special teams operations since before I joined the Rams in 2017," Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. "His knowledge and understanding of critical game situations and his special teams play calling have helped us rank among the best in the league in those areas. Our best wishes are with John and the Fasselfamily."
The Cowboys' special teams struggled in 2019. Brett Maher missed 10 field goal attempts before his release late in the season. The Cowboys had the worst kickoff return average in the NFL and allowed a blocked punt in a 13-9 loss to the New England Patriots.
At different times during his tenure with the Packers, McCarthy had a substandard special-teams unit.
Tomsula had been the Washington Redskins' defensive line coach since 2017 after a nine-year run with the San Francisco 49ers that began when Nolan was the head coach. In 2015, he was the Niners' interim head coach.

(Reuters/Landov)Photo: Men are shown walking amid rubble after another Boko Haram attack in Nigeria in this file photo.
JOS, Nigeria - After weeks of sacking villages and destroying church buildings around Nigeria's northeastern town of Gwoza, Islamic extremist group Boko Haram on Wednesday (Aug. 6) killed an estimated 100 people in the predominantly Christian town, sources said.
The shooting, fire-bombing and slashing of men, women and children in Gwoza, Borno state, as initially the military reportedly fled before an insurgent force backed by international terrorist groups, began at about 4 a.m., producing eyewitness assertions that Boko Haram, which seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria, had taken control of the town of more than 276,000 people. Local residents reportedly said at least 100 people had been killed.
The full magnitudeof the attack and the Nigerian military response was unknown as most sources have been forced to flee to Cameroon or Adamawa state, but on the initial day of the assault Pirda Tada, a Christian resident of Saha village, told Morning Star News that Boko Haram gunmen arrived in Toyota Hilux vehicles and motorcycles and attacked houses with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and fuel-bombs.
"I thank God for sparing my life, but three of my neighbors and members of our church were killed during the attack," Tada said. "These Christians in our village had their throats slit with knives while their hands were tied behind their backs. Some houses were bombed as the Boko Haram gunmen were chanting, 'God is great!' in Arabic."
Six Christians were killed at Saha village,

Monday, October 8, 2012
The Kapamilya network once more brings us another three-generation high-caliber drama TV series. Starting this Monday night, October 8, 2012 get ready for the premiere of "Ina, Kapatid Anak" in the network's undisputed Primetime Bida.
"Ina, Kapatid Anak" is actually the third TV series of ABS-CBN where the story interconnects three generations. In 2011, they started the three-generation teleserye via the top-rating "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin." The first generation was composed of the veteran stars namely Ronaldo Valdez, Dante Rivero, and Boots Anson-Roa. The second generation was comprised of Amy Austria, Tonton Gutierrez, John Estrada, and Lorna Tolentino. And the third or the current generation was completed by the young stars namely Maja Salvador, Andi Eigenmann, Martin Del Rosario, and Coco Martin.
The trend continues this yearvia the phenomenal hit TV series "Walang Hanggan." Again, the first generation was composed of the veteran stars namely Helen Gamboa, Eddie Gutierrez, and Susan Roces. Then the second generation was put to life by the characters of Richard Gomez, Rita Avila, Eula Valdez, and Dawn Zulueta. And of course, completing the third or the young generation were the characters of Julia Montes, Joem Bascon, Melissa Ricks, Paulo Avelino, and Coco Martin.
In "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" here are the three generations that will put your night on heavy drama and remarkable lines:
Just like the previous two teleseryes, the story of "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" didn't only focus on the present conflicts but also interrelates and tackles the past twists which explains the current status of the main characters.
The teleserye marks

the return of today's four of the hottest young stars namely Maja Salvador, Enchong Dee, Xian Lim, and Kim Chiu on Primetime. Maja and Kim were reunited after they worked together on "My Binondo Girl." This is also the second TV series of Kim and Xian as a love team after they were introduced as a tandem in the said teleserye. Meanwhile, "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" is Maja and Enchong's very first teleserye as a pair. Enchong's last TV series was "Maria La Del Barrio."
Janice De Belen, Ariel Rivera, and Cherry Pie Picache add twist and spice to the story. Rivalry is not only between the characters of Maja and Kim but also to the characters of Janice and Cherry Pie as they played the roles of half sisters.It seems that Janice and Cherry Pie switch characters in the teleserye since Cherry Pie now plays as a kindhearted mother Theresa after being hated as the wicked Mrs. Sy in "My Binondo Girl" while Janice now portrays as an antagonist after being loved via her kind character as the mother of "Budoy."
The three veteran stars in the first generation namely Eddie Gutierrez, Pilar Pilapil, and Ronaldo Valdez also switch characters: Eddie from a humble character in "Walang Hanggan" to the powerful rich Lucas in "Ina, Kapatid, Anak;" Pilar from a kontrabida wowa in "Agua Bendita" to a kind mother in this teleserye; and Ronaldo from the powerful military leader Sgt. Sebastian Del Tierro in "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" to a poor shoe-shine man in this new Primetime

periods of economic shortage and hardship tend to be stripped of everything reusable; layers corresponding to periods of economic abundance and plenty are far less picked over.
As the Industrial Revolution took hold in Europe, and goods of all kinds flowed from new factories, mines, and mills—and arrived from around the world on trading ships—entrepreneurs began to develop processes and plants to recycle even rags (rewoven with virgin wool to produce a new material unpretentiously called “shoddy”).
At war with the British Empire in 1776, Americans turned to salvage and reuse both to fight the wars and to stretch out the use of all the manufactured goods they bought from England.
All recycling in history, in all its innovative variants—and at levels from individual scrap collectors to energy-conserving industries—had been economic.
Citiesin Europe and then America spawned armies of thousands of scavengers for valued recyclables like iron, aluminum, tin, and copper. In England, in 1865, the new Salvation Army organized them. Railroads went into the sideline of reclaiming iron.
It was during WWI that recycling went into high gear in economies on all sides of the war. In part, it was again individuals and families driven by shortages to reclaim and use refuse; in part, it was collection by individuals, sometimes organized by government, to collect desperately needed war materials. In England and Scotland, grand old iron gates and fences were melted for munitions, shipbuilding, and other weaponry.
A turning point in history was WWII’s huge acceleration of government intervention in virtually every area of life. Perhaps prefiguring the 1960s and

Ballet West dances through financial pressure
Professional Utah dancers aren't resting in the face of financial turmoil they have plenty of moves ahead.

A trip to Ballet West's third-floor rehearsal studio, esteemed guests in tow, is one of the dance company's long-standing traditions.
Is a potential donor, or corporate sponsor, skeptical of the company's talent or quality? Is a civic leader simply curious about the professional ballet company's latest work in progress?
Jóhann Jacobs, Ballet West executive director, takes them upstairs. Even in rehearsal, skeptical visitors appear convinced quickly by the sight of dancers moving through linesand sequences that match the strength of the human form with the delicacy and precision of fine ballet.
For a long stretch starting in 2009, Jacobs found himself taking that same trip, more often than not, all by himself. So did many other staff members, he said.
It wasn't for lack of donors to impress, but because Jacobs and staff needed a lift in spirits. The magic of dance that impressed visitors so much became the balm that soothed the staff's weary collective soul as they worried about the art form they loved.

Jacobs recalls the "white-knuckle days," the deep, dark grip of the 2008 financial crisis that hit arts organizations nationwide. It was a time when he and artistic director Adam Sklute wondered if they'd ever have time

City to review the production.
"For our size, we've got a pretty loyal following," said Victor Rickman, senior vice president of UBS Financial Services, now in his third year on Ballet West's board. "Our challenge is to develop more patrons. If we get just a handful of people to see one production, the chance that they'll buy a season ticket package is big."
It's part of any executive director's job at an arts organization to discuss how conditions can always be better. "Are we successful?" Jacobs asked. "We're successful in achieving the goals we've set for this time. We're doing well given the economy, and the economy is slowly coming to life," he said.
He may not enter the rehearsal room alone, for a dose of inspiration, as frequently as hesenior vice president of UBS Financial Services and a Ballet West board member.
Yet Ballet West brings in more ticket revenue by far in comparison with companies with similar annual budgets in comparably sized markets, such as Milwaukee Ballet and Tulsa Ballet. In 2012, the Utah company brought in almost $1 million more in ticket sales than Milwaukee, and about $1.4 million more than Tulsa, according to figures obtained by Rickman.
Like Ballet West, arts groups across the country are seeing less government support at the city, county, state and federal levels. In 2001, the dance company's ticket sales represented about 27 percent of its total income, with ZAP funds making up 16 percent of the company's total budget.
Last year, ticket sales constituted about 29 percent of the company's

How much has Ballet West made from "Breaking Pointe?
Ballet West officials don't have a dollar figure, although the show hasn't been "a funnel of money," says Johann Jacobs, executive director, although it has generated a bonanza of press nationally and internationally, and increased traffic to the company's website. One effect of that exposure? More professional dancers are signing up for company auditions, Jacobs says.
Compensation for dancers featured in the show "was extremely low," says artistic director Adam Sklute. "Payment to Ballet West barely covereddeeply involved in suppressing the Tai-p'ing rebellion and had little energy to deal with the Russians. Under Russia's threat and demand, China signed the Treaty of Aigun in May 1858.
What strikes me odd about this is Muraviev's capacity to gather those troops in the first place. Where did he get them from (e.g., were they a part of his governorate that he could deploy at will or did he have to requisition them from Moscow?) and how long did he have to plan this out for?
Similarly, forty years later trying to feed the workforce for the railway labourers was a massive problem. The WP on the Trans-Siberian Railway says that an impetus for the building of the line was that Mureviev had to import food from China and

were founded along the river bank, in 1855 the first 50 peasant families from the Irkutsk province and the Trans-Baikal region moved to the Amur. In 1857, the Cossacks from the Trans-Baikal army began to move there. Thus, colonization actually began before the conclusion of a formal treaty.
In other words, Muraviev was creating "facts on the ground," which is why by 1858 he had all these troops along Amur river at his disposal. Simultaneously with cossacks, more than a thousand of regular army troops (including artillery) were carried down the river in as well.
One more name should be mentioned in connection to all this, Admiral Gennady Nevelskoy, responsible the naval exploration of the region (1849—1855). See

France and the Netherlands, causing the financial strains that now are leading to showdowns with democratically elected governments. At issue is whether Europe should succumb to centralized planning – on the right wing of the political spectrum, under the banner of “free markets” defined as economies free from public price regulation and oversight, free from consumer protection, and free from taxes on the rich.
The crisis for Greece – as for Iceland, Ireland and debt-plagued economies capped by the United States – is occurring as bank lobbyists demand that “taxpayers” pay for the bailouts of bad speculations and government debts stemming largely from tax cuts for the rich and for real estate, shifting the fiscal burden as well as the debt burden onto labor and industry. The financial sector’swere reluctant to tax the wealthy. A 2010 report stated that nearly a third of Greek income was undeclared, with “fewer than 15,000 Greeks declar[ing] incomes of over €100,000, despite tens of thousands living in opulent wealth on the outskirts of the capital. A new drive by the Socialists to track down swimming pool owners by deploying Google Earth was met with a virulent response as Greeks invested in fake grass, camouflage and asphalt to hide the tax liabilities from the spies in space.”
As a result of the military dictatorship depressing public spending below the European norm, infrastructure needed to be rebuilt – and this required budget deficits. The only way to avoid running them would have been to make the rich pay the taxes they were supposed

Ferguson and Ronaldo celebrate Champions League success in Moscow in 2008
The winger spent six years at Old Trafford before he moved to Real Madrid in 2009 for a world-record £80m transfer fee.
He might have moved to Real a year earlier, but Ferguson had been unhappy with the Spanish club's public courting of the player, who had joined United from Sporting Lisbon in a £12m deal in 2003.
The Scot was so irate with Real president Ramon Calderon that he told Ronaldo he would rather "shoot" him than "sell" him to Real at that stage, before promising the player he could leave Old Trafford the following summer if the right deal came along.
Ferguson on Rafael Benitez
Extended BBC Sport interview with SirAlex Ferguson
Ferguson had several run-ins with Rafael Benitez while the Spaniard was manager of Liverpool.
In his book, Ferguson explained that the chief reason for the fall-out was because Benitez chose to "turn our rivalry personal".
Ferguson said: "Once you made it personal, you had no chance. Benitez was striving for trophies while also taking me on. That was unwise."
Ferguson on Wayne Rooney
Ferguson is a big admirer of Rooney's natural ability but had concerns about his fitness, particularly during his last season in charge.
Ferguson gives Wayne Rooney some advice in 2008
"I felt he was struggling to get by people and had lost some of his old thrust," wrote Ferguson, who signed Rooney from Everton in 2004.

Dagestan borders Chechnya, where Moscow fought two wars against Islamist separatists before regaining control of the region. A patchwork of ethnicities and languages, it has become a hub of militant Islam in the North Caucasus, and some militant groups have sworn allegiance to Islamic State.

"It's striking how only three cents of our American health-care dollar goes to public health - just three cents," he said. "This is the same public health that gave us 90 percent of our life-expectancy gains in the 20th century. And yet, compared with medical care, public health and social support funding have been eviscerated."
The researchers noted that heart disease and cancer contribute to lower life expectancy - but homicide is the leading cause of death for black males ages 15 to 34. It also ranks among the top three causes of death for black male children ages 1 to 14.

Accordingly, ZiPS — which is rather conservative, generally, in this regard — projects two Reds pitchers (Cueto and Latos) to throw at least 190 innings, and another three (Arroyo, Bailey, and Leake) to cross the 160-inning threshold. The last of those (Leake) is unlikely to reach the mark in reality, however: it is generally understood that Aroldis Chapman, who was dominant in relief in 2012, will make the transition to the rotation this season.
Replacing Chapman at the back end of the Reds’ bullpen in 2013 will be Jonathan Broxton, whom the Reds signed to a three-year, $21 million deal at the end of November. His projection on a per-inning basis is encouraging, and there’s reason to

Marie of Mecklenburg, born sometime between 1363 and 1367, but probably by 1365, dead after 13 May 1402, was a duchess of Pomerania. She was the daughter of Duke Henry III, Duke of Mecklenburg (death 1383) and the Danish princess Ingeborg of Denmark, Duchess of Mecklenburg (death 1370), was Duchess of Pomerania.
History
She married 1380, before March 23, with Duke Wartislaw VII, Duke of Pomerania (fallen 1394 or 1395) and together they had one son and a daughter:
Bogusław (born about 1382, dead 1459), better known as the Kalmar Union King Eric of Pomerania; and,
Catherine (born about 1390, dead 1426), married to Count palatine John, Count Palatine of Neumarkt (born about 1383, dead 1443).

Hatsue Ishii GILLES, Plaintiff,
v.
Albert DEL GUERCIO, as District Director, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Los Angeles, California, Defendant.
No. 19918.
United States District Court S. D. California, Central Division.
May 9, 1957.

Laughlin E. Waters, U. S. Atty., Max F. Deutz, Arline Martin, Asst. U. S. Attys., Los Angeles, Cal., for defendant.
BYRNE, District Judge.
An officer of the Merchant Marine, while in Japan, met, fell in love with and married the plaintiff, who is a Japanese girl. He brought her back to the United States and she was admitted for permanent residence. After they had lived together as man and wife for approximately two years the husband decided he wanted to be free of his wife. He called at the office of theImmigration and Naturalization Service and informed Investigator Buzzelle that he would like to get his wife deported. The Service issued a warrant of arrest charging plaintiff with having engaged in prostitution prior to entry.
The alien here seeks judicial review of the administrative decision which ordered her deportation on the warrant charge. Her claim is: That she was not given a fair hearing in that her husband was permitted to testify against her; that her counsel was not permitted full cross-examination of her husband; that she was not permitted to call character witnesses to testify as to her reputation; that a prior written statement made by her without the aid of an interpreter was admitted in evidence and also a written statement of her husband.

the remark that you would like to get your wife deported." The interest and prejudice of the husband vitally affected his credibility and great latitude should have been allowed the cross-examiner to test the credibility of the witness.
The original hearing was adjourned to permit the alien an opportunity to produce witnesses. At the resumed hearing she presented her husband's stepmother and two other witnesses to testify to her character in respect to those traits of character which ordinarily would be involved in the commission of prostitution. When the first witness was called and the Special Inquiry Officer learned that the acquaintance of the witness with the alien was limited to the period subsequent to the alien's entrance into the United States, he ruled: "In view of the factwas not informed of the charges against her. Indeed the officer taking the statement did not even inform her of the fact that her husband had lodged a complaint against her and that they were moving towards deporting her. He said: "I want to take a statement from you, that is to ask you questions under oath, regarding your right to be in and remain in the United *867 States." No interpreter was present. When asked if she understood the meaning of the word, "prostitution", she replied, "No, I don't know."
At the subsequent hearing on June 15, 1955, the Special Inquiry Officer attempted to interrogate the alien without the aid of an interpreter. It was quite apparent that the hearing could not be conducted without an interpreter and

In the instant case the husband was the only witness who testified against this alien whom he had brought to this country as his bride, and who had apparently been a faithful wife during her two years residence here. By his own admission he was seeking a short cut to freedom from marital responsibilities and initiated the deportation proceedings with his story to the Immigration authorities which he prefaced with the remark that he "would like to get (his) wife deported."

The choice to cast Damon has inevitably created its fair share of controversy, with accusations of whitewashing (and criticism of the film’s perceived perpetuation of the white savior trope) dogging The Great Wall in the U.S.
The film and its star exemplify the precarious nature of the burgeoning relationship between China and Hollywood, which is changing film production — and creating a new breed of international stars.

To satisfy demand, more theaters are being built in suburban and rural areas; in 2015, 15 new screens opened every day in China. By late 2017, the country is predicted to overtake the U.S. to become the biggest film market in the world.
The burgeoning relationship between China and Hollywood is changing film production and creating a new breed of international stars.
This year has had its misfires. There have been domestic failures, with a number of local films struggling to find an audience. Meanwhile,Una ventana abierta al mundo político y social
India’s Edifice Diplomacy in Afghanistan
Miércoles, 04/Dic/2013Chandrahas ChoudhuryBloomberg
It isn’t every day that the most interesting foreign news in Indian newspapers is published on the «Tenders» pages. But there it was one day in October: a notice from the Central Public Works Department of Delhi, inviting applications from Indian companies for desks, tables and — more strangely — «chairs of different types including built-in cupboards,» to supply an under-construction «House of the People.»
That house of the people is the new parliament building of Afghanistan, which the Indian government is constructing in Kabul as a gift to the Afghan people for a crucial moment in their history: the 2015 parliamentary elections. Work on the building, on an 84-acre plot on the city outskirts, began

material that could be sourced from Pakistan needs to be brought all the way from India or Iran.
Darulaman Road isn’t the only site where Indians — sometimes in search of the higher salaries available in conflict zones — are braving perilous conditions to work on a host of projects aimed at «peace-building in Afghanistan.» A host of Indian companies and nongovernmental organizations have set up operations over the last decade, working on infrastructure and small-business projects set up by the Indian government.
In 2008, the Indian government finished work on a 218-kilometer (135-mile) road from Delaram in north-east Afghanistan to Zaranj on the Iran border, opening up the landlocked country to the sea via Iran’s Chabahar port. It also invited the Indian NGO SEWA (Self-Employed Women’s Association) to workand Sub Saharan Africa have the lowest HCI among the regions.
Performance of India:
The HCI for India has been estimated at 0.44. The quality adjusted learning has been measured in case of India by using the data as old as 2009.
Human Capital Index: A child born in India today will be only 44 per cent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health.
The HCI in India for females is marginally better than that for males. Further, there has been marked improvement in the HCI components in India over the last five years.

of steam power, and birth of the modern factory.
2nd industrial revolution: The Second Industrial Revolution, from the last third of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of World War I, was powered by developments in electricity, transportation, chemicals, steel, and mass production and consumption. Industrialization spread even further – to Japan after the Meiji Restoration and deep into Russia, which was booming at the outset of World War I. During this era, factories could produce countless numbers of identical products quickly and cheaply.
3rd industrial revolution: The third industrial revolution, beginning c. 1970, was digital — and applied electronics and information technology to processes of production. Mass customisation and additive manufacturing — the so-called ‘3D printing’ — are its key concepts, and its applications, yet to be imagined fully,of disaster reduction and to ensure synergies among disaster reduction activities of United Nations system and regional organizations and activities in socio‐economic and humanitarian fields.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey warned the Church of England was just 'one generation from extinction'
The Church of England has suffered a dramatic slump in its followers, shocking new figures show.
Between 2012 and 2014, the proportion of Britons identifying themselves as C of E or Anglican dropped from 21 per cent to 17 per cent – a fall of about 1.7 million people.
Over the same period, the number of Muslims in Britain grew by nearly one million, according to a survey by the respected NatCen Social Research Institute.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey warned last night that unless urgent action was taken, the Church was just ‘one generation away from extinction’.
The number of Anglicans in Britain has dropped from about 10.3 million to 8.6 million, and willfrom Filipinos to Portuguese. There are seven different Catholic churches just for Croatians in London.’
A category called ‘Other Christian’ has also remained steady, boosted by the rise of largely black congregations attending Pentecostal ‘mega-churches’.
Naomi Jones, of NatCen, said one explanation for the Anglican decline is that fewer people see Christianity as being an important part of their British identity.

Former French finance minister accused of negligence leading to misuse of public funds over payout to Bernard Tapie
This article is more than 3 years old
This article is more than 3 years old
The International Monetary Fund’s managing director, Christine Lagarde, is due to stand trial on Monday afternoon over her role in a €400m (£335m) payment to a French businessman when she was France’s finance minister in the government of former conservative president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Speaking on the eve of her trial, Lagarde said she was confident she had done nothing wrong over state the payout to Bernard Tapie in 2008.
Lagarde is accused of negligence leading to misuse of public funds by improperly approving a decision to allow an out-of-court arbitration in the dispute with Sarkozy supporter Tapie.
She could facetrial while a separate investigation in the case is still underway.
The case goes back to when Tapie sued the state for compensation after selling his stake in sports company Adidas to Credit Lyonnais in 1993. He claimed the bank, owned by the French state at the time, had defrauded him after it resold his stake for a much higher sum.
Lagarde, who was French finance minister from 2007 to 2011, signed off on the decision to seek an extremely rare out-of-court settlement in the dispute between the state and Tapie that ended up costing taxpayers dearly.
The arbitration judges ruled in Tapie’s favour and ordered the state payout, but appeal courts have since thrown out that decision.
A Paris appeals court ordered Tapie to reimburse the state, but he has lodged

be old enough to be president. But four months into the job as prime minister of Finland, Sanna Marin and her mostly young and female cabinet is managing one of Europe’s lowest rates of COVID-19, and earning high approval in the country of 5.5 million.
COVID-19 has already made heroes and goats of many leaders, as the pandemic that envelops the world is revealing whether their governments are equal to the crisis.
Among the former is Sanna Marin, the world’s youngest head of government at the time she became prime minister of Finland last December. In a recent poll, 85% of Finns supported her handling of the pandemic, a striking level of confidence in these uneasy times.
When she took office last year, Ms. Marin and her mostly female cabinet facedthat of Sauli Niinistö, Finland’s popular 71-year-old president, with each effectively appealing to different demographics.
Ms. Marin, who was elected to parliament in 2015, is well known for her straight-shooting style. A YouTube clip of her as vice chair of the Tampere city council, calmly cutting off one long-winded member after another during a fractious debate about transportation needs in 2016, has nearly half a million hits. She easily won reelection last spring, after which her Social Democratic predecessor, Antti Rinne, appointed her his minister of transportation.
Now, Ms. Marin is learning how to be prime minister while also steering Finland through its greatest crisis since World War II.

“Gloria Mayfield Banks: Winning Big with Mary Kay”
Gloria Mayfield Banks has no doubt that she made the right choice in pursuing a career with Mary Kay-one of the nation's leading cosmetics companies. According to Banks, what raises eyebrows about her choice of professions is that she graduated with a MBA from Harvard University's Business school.
Before coming to Mary Kay, Banks was a top sales person with IBM, worked as a Marketing Manager with Stratus Computers and even worked as an Assistant Director of Admissions at Harvard's Business School. Her road to the top of the Mary Kay Company, however, began with a friend's invitation to attend a skin care class. “I fell in love with the products,” said Banks. “At that time, I was going through arecognition. She has a ton of pride. When she grows up, she knows she can develop herself just like the women she sees around her,” noted Banks.
Despite Gloria's hectic schedule, she finds times to travel, scuba dive, and go to the movies. She has been featured in such national magazines as Working Woman, Black Enterprise and Glamour.
Gloria Mayfield Banks has managed to break several company records. As she moved up the ladder quickly from consultant to her present position as National Sales Director, those around her saw her team doing millions of dollars in sales year after year. Gloria gives a lot of credit to the teamwork fostered by the company.
“Also, I attract well-educated people who choose to do this. They want to go out and get it

in last year’s ranks that Sticklen was improving her 200 fast, she’s now focusing in on the shorter end of the distance spectrum. Her 100 fly has dropped half a second and is into NCAA scoring range, and she’s cut solid time in sprint free as well. Down the road, she could be a factor in almost any of the five relays. Sticklen is also well-equipped to swim the 100 fly/100 back double on day 3 of NCAAs – her lifetime-bests in both events came on the same day, at the Texas 6A State meet.
8. Abby Arens (Previous Rank: #15) – Marlins of Raleigh – Saint Mary’s College Prep School – Raleigh, NC **Verbally committed to NC State**
Best Times: 200 breast – 2:08.06, 100 breast – 59.76, 400be a massive relay factor if her 100/200 develop well.
16. Gabi Albiero (Previous Rank: #13) – Cardinal Aquatics – Christian Academy – Louisville, KY **Verbally committed to Louisville**
Best Times: 100 fly – 51.97, 200 fly – 1:57.72, 50 free – 22.63, 100 free – 49.68, 200 free – 1:48.13, 200 IM – 2:00.82
Albiero is a bit of a one-trick pony at this point. Her 100 fly is far-and-away her best time, and is already within NCAA scoring range. That drop of six tenths was one of her bigger time cuts since our last rankings – she’s had modest improvement in the freestyles and only managed to repeat her 200 fly time exactly, down to the hundredth. A two-second IM drop is promising, though she’s still four seconds out

To do this properly, each rod and pad must be positioned precisely in relation to its perpendicular counterpart. Because of the considerable extra time required for the cassotto's construction and adjustment, cassotto accordions cost considerably more than similar non-cassotto models.

The Spanish government plans high-level meetings next week with private sector executives and labour representatives after the country reported zero growth in the third quarter.
GDP has flatlined after seven quarters of continuous, if timid, growth, it emerged on Friday. This has been attributed to a 2 per cent increase in VAT and the end of the government's Plan 2000E, which funnelled money into public works schemes and the car industry.
The zero growth also explains the government's muted welcome to last week's 70,800 drop in jobless figures, the first since the recession began in 2007. Close analysis showed most of the new jobs, an estimated 90,300, were created in the public sector – the biggest single jump in government employees since records began in 2005. And unemployment in Spain,had failed to “come to its senses” since the China ban.
She said:
I thought the China ban would bring the government to its senses in demonstrating we could no long rely on exporting our plastic waste. But instead the minister…challenged the view of this as a crisis, and left it to the market to find alternative export markets. This shocking image of our waste stockpiling in ports overseas, with destination countries lacking the capacity to process often contaminated and low grade plastic must surely be the crunch-point for getting the policy action the industry has long called for.
Fires in Poland, backlogs in Asia
Six months after the China ban came into effect, countries across the globe are feeling the impact.

scrap since the China ban came into force in January.
Tan Cang-Cat Lai port is currently dealing with a backlog of 1,132 shipping containers due to plastic scrap imports, according to a letter sent by officials at Tan Cang-Cai Mep to shipping companies and to the U.S. Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries.
UK plastic waste exports to Vietnam increased by 51% in January to April 2018–from 9,680 to 14,570 tonnes.
Other countries have also introduced temporary restrictions since January.
Citing “the escalating number of idle containers of recycled plastics” in Malaysia and Thailand, the shipping line APL wrote to its customers on April 19 to announce a “temporary ban of plastic scrap shipments” from the U.S. and Canada to both countries.
UK exports to Malaysia rose sharply in the first four months ofwent to China and Hong Kong from January 2012 to September 2017. Overall, British companies sent just under 88,000 tonnes of waste to China in the first four months of 2017. But that figure has dropped to less than 2,500 tonnes this year, with China now only accepting high-quality plastic scrap.
Today British companies have sought out other countries.
As well as Poland, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia: exports to Turkey also rose, up 166% from 10,598 tonnes to 28,219 tonnes.
Exports to Taiwan, which is not included in the China ban, increased by more than 1,200%.
Other countries experiencing significant increases include Pakistan (+78%), India (+37%) and Indonesia (+19%).
The UK is not alone in the crisis. New Zealand is reporting similar trends, while the China ban has reportedly put a major strain

Fans of Manchester United Chelsea, Arsenal and around 70 other football clubs have agreed to call for a national boycott of The S*n newspaper.
A motion at today’s national Football Supporters Federation (FSF) summit which called on all fans groups to lobby their clubs and retailers in their areas to stop selling The S*n was unanimously passed.
All Premier League fan groups represented including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal and others from the Championship and lower leagues will now go back to their local areas and pick up the campaign that was launched by the Total Eclipse of the S*n group in Liverpool.
Both Liverpool and Everton football clubs have this year banned The S*n from all club premises as well.

tall, for whom a felony arrest warrant
had recently been issued. Officer Price observed two people standing together near that
intersection. As he drove past, he recognized one of them as Travis Branch, whom he knew to
have a criminal history. The other was appellant, whom Officer Price testified as fitting the arrest
warrant's description of Ricky Reed. (2) Officer Price turned around and drove back to the
intersection. This time, he saw Travis Matthews and Jennifer Calderon, both of whom he
recognized, standing with Branch and Medford. As Officer Price approached the group in his
police car, Matthews and Calderon started walking east on Rosewood Street while Branch and
Medford headed north on San Saba. Officer Price testified that when he got closer, Medford
stepped off the street andbegan walking through the front yard of an adjoining residence.
Officer Price approached Medford and asked him his name. He testified that
appellant was initially evasive but finally identified himself as "Michael Landry." However,
Medford was unable to spell that name, and did not reply when asked his date of birth. At this
point, Officer Raymond Baladez had arrived on the scene and was standing by in a backup
position. Officer Price testified that the area was poorly lit and that he considered it to be a
dangerous area after dark; he also knew the area was one in which crack cocaine deals took place
at night, and that drug dealers often carry weapons. He decided to frisk Medford for weapons.

outer clothing, Officer Price felt several
small objects in appellant's pants pocket. He testified that he asked appellant what was in his
pocket, to which Medford replied: "Cigarettes and matches. You can look." Officer Price then
asked appellant if he was giving him consent to look in his pocket, and Medford answered: "I told
you you could look." Officer Price removed a pack of cigarettes and a matchbox from appellant's
pocket. He shook the matchbox and heard something rolling around inside. Upon opening the
box, Officer Price saw several small rocks of what appeared to be crack cocaine.
At that point, Officer Price informed appellant that he was under arrest and
instructed Medford to place his hands behind his back. Officer Price testified at trial that he
touchedMedford's left arm with his left hand and was about to handcuff him when Medford
lunged free and began running south. Medford ran across the street, jumped a fence, and ran
through neighboring yards with Officer Price in pursuit. After a lengthy chase, Officers Price and
Baladez managed to subdue Medford and place him under arrest. Laboratory tests subsequently
confirmed that the substance in the matchbox was crack cocaine.
Before trial, appellant moved to suppress the cocaine evidence, claiming that it was
seized in violation of his constitutional rights. The judge at the suppression hearing (3) denied
appellant's motion. A jury subsequently found appellant guilty of the offenses of escape and
possession of cocaine.
On appeal, Medford presents four points of error. In his first two points, appellant
claims that the trial

a prisoner transferred to a hospital out of medical
necessity retained the legal status of arrestee for purposes of determining whether he was in
"custody" under section 38.06(a). Before entering the hospital, Harrell was told that he was still
under arrest and in custody, and that if he ran away from the hospital he would be treated as if he
had escaped from jail. Harrell ignored that admonition and drove to Florida with another patient
and a local woman. See Harrell, 743 S.W.2d at 230.
The Court of Criminal Appeals upheld Harrell's conviction for escape. The court
stated: "We now hold that actual, physical 'hands-on' restraint is not a prerequisite to a showing
of custody in the context of the offense of escape. Rather, it is important to look atthe legal status
of the individual at the time of the escape." See id. at 231. Examining Harrell's legal status, the
court held that Harrell remained under arrest while at the hospital. See id. Because Harrell was
still "in custody" regardless of his physical location, it held that the court of appeals had erred in
focusing on the fact that Harrell was not under any kind of physical restraint while at the hospital.
See id.
As the Harrell court recognized, the issue of what constitutes an initial arrest was
not before the court in that case. See Harrell, 743 S.W.2d at 231. However, that is precisely the
issue in the present case: whether a person who has been stopped for questioning and who then
flees prior to being handcuffed

Morris distinguishable on its facts. In Morris, the detention took place
in the controlled space of a probation officer's office; the appellant sat in a chair and was
questioned by the arresting officer after being told he was under arrest. Morris decided to flee
only after discussing the impact of his arrest on his probation. The arresting officer did not
handcuff Morris because he did not have handcuffs with him and presumably he did not feel the
need to subdue Morris any further when Morris was sitting in a chair in the probation office,
surrounded by the police officer and the probation officer. The factual circumstances of Morris
are similar to those in Harrell because in both cases, the appellant had been placed under arrest
and was in a situation in whichwas "complete"

still effecting his arrest when he assaulted them at the point near the restaurant. See id. at 737.
At Medford's trial, there was some dispute about whether Officer Price had made
contact with appellant's arm when he attempted to handcuff him. Officer Price testified at the
suppression hearing that his right arm was free when he reached for the handcuffs with his left
hand; he described Medford as being "within touching distance" at the moment Medford fled.
However, at trial he testified that his left hand was on Medford's left arm as he reached for his
handcuffs. Price further testified that as he grabbed Medford's left wrist in an attempt to

Participants were recruited from seven HIV care and treatment clinics (CTCs). At the time of study preparation, Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) was provided under the Tanzania National AIDS Control Program with the support of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program and in collaboration with the Harvard School of Public Health, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, and the City of Dar es Salaam Regional Office of Health in only seven CTCs. Those CTCs were Infectious Disease Center (IDC), Buguruni, Mwananyamala, Temeke, Mbagala-Rangitatu, Amana, and Sinza CTCs. Ahand in hand with scaling up of the test and treat strategy. Such unprecedented magnitude of undernutrition was associated with young age, advanced clinical stage, low wealth index, and low dietary diversity. To ameliorate undernutrition and improve treatment outcomes with ART, integration of nutrition and treatment into HIV care and treatment is of paramount importance in Dar es salaam, and areas with similar context.

secret ride this way. And, of course, the ship was examined for rats, the perennial stowaways.
However, rats arrived in the monument years ago via the U.S. military activity previously based on Midway Atoll, a strategic naval base during World War II and the Cold War, and French Frigate Shoals, a runway and refueling stop for planes headed to Midway during World War II. While efforts to eradicate rats at these former military bases were successful, attempting a similar project for underwater species would be much more challenging. Marine species spread very quickly and human activities are necessarily limited by the finite amount of time we can spend underwater.
Currently, Godwin has documented about 60 non-native marine species in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, mainly at Midway, but these species—thefrom Japan

Godwin was on high-alert, however, when debris washed away from Japan during the 2011 tsunami began showing up in Hawaii. Most marine debris in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands comes in the form of fishing nets typically lost in the open ocean—the kind the NOAA PIFSC team was clearing from reefs. Many of the species colonizing these nets are native to the open ocean and generally do not survive in the monument’s coastal environment.
But the boats and other debris from Japan came from the coast, bringing with them the hardy and flexible marine life capable of surviving the transoceanic journey until they found another

no longer dominated by corals but instead by invasive algae.
Delivering a Double-Whammy to Invasive Algae
Around 2005, NOAA helped fund the development of the Super Sucker as part of a joint project between the State of Hawaii and the Nature Conservancy. The project was aimed at containing these invasive algae in Kaneohe Bay, a partnership that continues to the present day.
Today, NOAA is becoming involved once more by expanding this project and bringing the Super Sucker into new parts of Kaneohe Bay. NOAA will accomplish this by using part of the nearly $6 million available for restoration after the 2005 grounding of the ship M/V Cape Flattery.

(U.S. Coast Guard)
On February 16, 2015, a CSX oil train derailed and caught fire in West Virginia near the confluence of Armstrong Creek and the Kanawha River. The train was hauling 3.1 million gallons of Bakken crude oil from North Dakota to a facility in Virginia. Oil coming from the Bakken Shale oil fields in North Dakota and Montana is highly volatile, and according to an industry report [PDF] prepared for the U.S. Department of Transportation, it contains “higher amounts of dissolved flammable gases compared to some heavy crude oils.”
Of the 109 train cars, 27 of them derailed on the banks of the

Kanawha River, but none of them entered the river. Much of the oil they were carrying was consumed in the fire, which affected 19 train cars, and an unknown amount of oil has reached the icy creek and river. Initially, the derailed train cars caused a huge fire, which burned down a nearby house, and resulted in the evacuation of several nearby towns. The evacuation order, which affected at least 100 residents, has now been lifted for all but five homes immediately next to the accident site.
Some oil from the derailed train cars has been observed frozen into the river ice, but no signs of oil appear downstream. (NOAA)
The area, near Mount Carbon, West Virginia, has been experiencing heavy snow and extremely cold temperatures, and the river islargely frozen. Some oil has been observed frozen into the river ice, but testing downstream water intakes for the presence of oil has so far shown negative results. NOAA has been assisting the response by providing custom weather and river forecasting, which includes modeling the potential fate of any oil that has reached the river.
The rapid growth of oil shipments by rail in the past few years has led to a number of high-profile train accidents. A similar incident in Lynchburg, Virginia, last year involved a train also headed to Yorktown, Virginia. In July 2013, 47 people were killed in the Canadian town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, after a train carrying Bakken crude oil derailed and exploded. NOAA continues to prepare for the emerging risks associated with this shift

To what extent is the oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill still affecting the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem?
Accident site at the school in New London, Texas, soon after the explosion that occurred at 3:05 in the afternoon on March 18, 1937. (Used with permission from the London Museum in New London/AP)
On March 18, 1937, a gas explosion occurred in a school in New London, Texas, killing almost 300 of the 500 students and 40 teachers in the building. The brand new, steel-and-concrete school, located in the East Texas Oilfield, was one of the wealthiest in the country. Yet it was reduced to rubble in part because no one could smell the danger building in the basement.
While the building originally hadbeen designed for a different heat distribution system, school officials had recently approved tapping into a residue gas line of the local Parade Gasoline Company, a common money-saving practice in the oilfield at the time. Unfortunately, on that March afternoon, a faulty pipe connection caused the gas (methane mixed with some liquid hydrocarbons) to leak into a closed space beneath the building. Just before class dismissal, when a maintenance employee turned on an electric sander, the odorless gas ignited. The resulting explosion caused the building to collapse, burying victims. (Watch a video of a news reel covering the event from March 1937.)
By standards employed today, a gas leak could be detected in advance by its odor. The odorless gas in the New London disaster was able to accumulate

in the space before anyone was aware of it. As a direct result of this incident, a Texas law mandated that malodorants be added to all natural gas for commercial and industrial use, a practice that is now an industry standard. Mercaptan, a harmless chemical, gives gas its distinctive rotten egg odor. It is added to natural gas to make it quickly recognizable and to prevent accidents like this from happening.
As a firefighter at the beginning of his career in Beaumont, Texas, Derwin Daniels worked for the same fire company that responded many years ago to the 1937 explosion. His personal connection to this particular incident sparked a desire to further his career in the fields of emergency management and fire protection technology.

A bipartisan bill in the U.S. House that would remove firearm suppressors from National Firearms Act regulation after 82 years has picked up a number of new supporters.
Introduced last October by U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., with 10 co-sponsors, the Hearing Protection Act of 2015 last week picked up its 50th lawmaker to sign on in support. This gives the measure the backing of representatives from 29 states including one Democrat, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon.
Further, the HPA has been among the top 10 most-viewed bills on Congress.gov almost every week since it was introduced.
This has industry groups excited.

Benjamin Netanyahu erupted in anger after the announcement of a deal with Iran, and he was far from alone in the region. NBC’s Richard Engel tells Morning Joe that Sunni allies of the US in the region have also reacted in anger and disbelief at the deal, providing a rare moment of unity in the face of renewed Iranian power. That has these regimes looking for ways to check that power, and that almost certainly means a nuclear arms race in the
