One of the suspects in the Paris attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine has been killed and the two others are in custody, a two senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News. Authorities identified the three men as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, both French and in their early 30s, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality wasn't immediately clear. One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, told The Associated Press that the men were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. And Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism...

The bizarre story of the refusal of British royals to visit Israel, while they are constantly in the Arab world, continues. I wrote about this phenomenon here, last February, when Prince Charles visited Saudi Arabia. As I noted then, the Queen has never set foot in Israel and Prince Charles set foot there briefly only once, for the Rabin funeral. By contrast, in just the month of November 2014 we found Prince Andrew and Prince Harry at what the Foreign Office must have considered a diplomatic necessity: the Abu Dhabi

his 80th birthday sometime in the late 1940's. After a few moments of dissonance as the modern ear relearns the musical language of a bygone era, the song becomes thrilling, guiding the mind's eye into America's past. When I slipped Frontier Favorites: Old-Time Music of the Wild West into the CD player and advanced it to Turkey in the Straw, Rex Rideout's fiddle burst from the speakers as if played by Morgan at a Southern Colorado barn dance in the 1880's. The hair on my neck stood up for a good ten minutes.
With Frontier Favorites, Rideout and his musical cohort Mark Gardner have created a stylistically accurate period piece filled with 21 tunes that are historically exact, yet can be appreciated by contemporary sensibilities. Sound, composition, instrumental techniquerecreated the music through exacting research combined with impressive musical ability. What they bring to the listener is the prototype for Country, Americana, Western and Folk music; before Nashville, before Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams and Uncle Dave Macon. Its instrumentation was portable and nearly primitive, with fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bones taking center stage in an era when guitars were a rarity.
The music on this disc is precisely what your ancestors heard, what they danced to. It encompasses the songs they sang and the tunes they hummed. It's a musical journey to the mid-19th century that transcends cultural nostalgia; this music is realistic enough in style and content to have been played and sung in its exact form on the Western frontier.
This is an essential recording for

Bhushan Steel was under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and on May 15, 2018, resolution plan was approved by the NCLT. On May 18, 2018, the company was acquired by Bamnipal Steel Limited (BMSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel Limited and later on renamed it to Tata Steel BMSL Ltd. Company recently issued its first Annual report post acquisition. We tried to dive into the impact of the resolution plan to the financial, other stakeholders and other aspects through this article.
Structuring of the deal
As a part of resolution plan, BMSL paid Rs. 35,100 crores to the financial creditors of Bhushan Steels to settle their claims. Amount was infused by way of issue of equity shares and inter-corporate deposits. Detail break-up is as follows:
Table 1: Resolution Planshareholding reduced to 3.46% as on date of implementation of plan and subsequently, they were reclassified from promoter group to public category, their shareholding remains unchanged as on Mar-19.
*72496036 shares are issued to lenders on conversion of certain debt into equity, and bankers also invoked pledge on shares of some promoters and sold in the market. Market value of shares invoked is Rs. 181.75 crores. We noticed a mismatch in no. of shares for which the pledge was invoked as per disclosure submitted to Stock exchanges (6,15,68,990) and as mentioned in the audited balance sheet (6,76,54,810). Reconciliation of shares at the beginning and at the end of bankers holding is not available since certain shares might be sold off by the bankers in the open market.

in Santa Clara, a municipal system delivered water to most households during several hour-long intervals each day, while families in the surrounding settlements shared neighborhood artesian wells or wells operated by a hand pump. It is conceivable that water sources were fecally contaminated, largely due to the widespread use of simple pit latrines in the absence of a sewage system. Water can become further contaminated upon transport to and unsafe storage in open-mouth containers within the home.[@R31] A recent investigation of surface contamination in the study area revealed the presence of FIB in 86% of the tableware assessed.[@R18]
A unifying behavior change intervention promoting chlorination has not taken place in this region. However, information regarding this practice has been disseminated by several sources, including the health sector, radio stations,participants mentioned additional ways that they used chlorine and household bleach to disinfect areas and objects within the home. Two caregivers, including one who consistently chlorinated drinking water and another who had tried in the past but discontinued, mentioned regularly adding Margot bleach to the water used while washing dishes; two others who had never practiced water chlorination also recalled doing this on occasion. Two additional consistent users had extended the use of chlorine as a disinfecting agent to other parts of the home. One young mother explained that she used Clorox, which was visible in her home on the day of the interview, to wipe down tables before eating with her toddler and teenage daughters. In addition, a middle-aged woman who often shared responsibility for her son,

At a certain time in the morning, the prisoners’ wives began to arrive and started gesturing, their faces turned up toward the windows. From the top floor, the prisoners leaned out to ask and answer questions; and it was as if the women’s hands on the ground and the men’s hands up above were trying to reach across those metres of empty space and touch. There was nothing about the big hotel, recently demoted to a barracks and a prison, that could give concrete shape to the inmates’ loss of freedom—no iron bars or high walls. The only visible manifestation of their anguish was the short yet insurmountable vertical distance between those with their feet in the

Poison in Jest
Poison In Jest, first published in 1932, is a detective story by John Dickson Carr which does not feature any of Carr's series detectives. This novel is a mystery of the type known as a whodunnit.
Plot summary
Jeff Marle, who plays a sidekick role in other Carr novels, is visiting a friend at the Quayle mansion in western Pennsylvania. Although various members of the Quayle household hate each other, all are united in hatred of the paterfamilias, Judge Quayle. A few moments after being introduced to Marle, Judge Quayle collapses after having been poisoned. More than one poison is used in murder attempts in the household; strange shadowy figures are seen prowling the halls at night, and there is a creepy story aboutThe present invention relates to testing devices, and more particularly to devices for testing an elongated elastic sleeve or balloon.
A various assortment of catheters have been proposed in the past for use in patients. Many of such catheters, for example Foley catheters and endotracheal tubes, are constructed with an inflatable sleeve or balloon on a shaft to permit retention or sealing by the balloon in the patient's body. For example, Foley catheters are normally constructed having an elongated hollow shaft defining a drainage lumen, an inflatable sleeve secured on a distal end of the shaft, and a drainage eye adjacent the distal end of the shaft communicating with the drainage lumen. The catheter shaft is passed through the patient's urethra until the drainage eye and inflatable sleeve are

located in the bladder, and a drainage tube is connected to a proximal end of the catheter shaft which is located outside the patient's body. The sleeve is inflated through a sidearm and inflation lumen of the catheter in order to expand the balloon in the patient's bladder, and retain the catheter in place. During catheterization, urine drains from the bladder through the drainage eye, the drainage lumen, and the drainage tube to a collection bag for retention therein.
The inflatable balloons or sleeves are normally constructed from a relatively thin elastic material, such as silicone, which may be formed by extrusion. It is not uncommon that the sleeves may contain imperfections, such as areas of weakness or pin holes, which deleteriously affect operation of the catheter balloon duringthe industry many local and regional vendors are offering specific application products for varied end-users.

NEW YORK -- While Doc Rivers' demonstrative ejection will draw plenty of attention, DeAndre Jordan believes the Los Angeles Clippers' sudden swoon has more to do with them feeling their early season success a tad too much.
Rivers had to be held back by players and assistant coaches after he was ejected in the first of two overtimes during the team's 127-122 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
With 18.6 seconds left in the first overtime and the Clippers trailing 117-115, Rivers walked past midcourt, almost to the Nets' bench, to argue a foul called by official Lauren Holtkamp.
Rivers was whistled for a technical foul and then handed a second technical and an automatic ejection by lead official Ken Mauer, which set Rivers off.
"I thought it was an awfula tech. That's my thing. That's why I got upset. He didn't even know what we were talking about. It wasn't even an argument. But listen, that had nothing to do with the game, and that's not why we lost the game."
Several members of the Clippers, including DeAndre Jordan, had to restrain coach Doc Rivers, who was ejected in the first overtime of the team's eventual loss. EPA/JUSTIN LANE
Mauer explained to a pool reporter that Rivers earned the first technical foul for "crossing over midcourt. That's automatic." Mauer then said the second technical came because of Rivers' "behavior."
"Do I need to explain it to you?" Mauer said. "Watch the tape. Behavior, language warrants a second technical foul. Warranted an ejection after getting a first technical foul."

count of murder, together with sentences of 2,000 years, 3,000 years, 1,000 years and 1,000 years for the counts of Shooting With Intent to Kill. Appellant appeals to this Court.
The scenario and trail of horror in this case started on January 26, 1986, when the appellant got into an argument with his fiancee, Cheryl James. For the first time in their relationship of over a year he struck her and then later that day when in remorse and in the girlfriend's presence took pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Cheryl then drove him to Presbyterian Hospital where he was hospitalized for a few days and then transferred to the psychiatric ward of St. Anthony's Hospital. On January 29th Cheryl went to visit him and after a couple ofhours left. When she got to her car, the appellant came running out behind her and forced her to take him with her. She became afraid and tried to get away from him and managed to get help from a security guard at the Sheraton Center in downtown Oklahoma City. She told the security guard that appellant was acting crazy and he had just gotten out of a mental ward. An altercation occurred and police arrived but they failed to arrest the appellant. Later on January 29, appellant attempted to purchase a hand gun, by falsely telling the store clerks that he operated a restaurant and needed a gun for protection. Appellant did not have enough money to purchase the gun, but a store clerk agreed to loan

The next morning, appellant was riding around and observed his fiancee, Cheryl James, riding in a car with her sister's boyfriend, Robert Dumas. Appellant pulled along the car and had a conversation with Ms. James through the windows. When Dumas tried to drive away, appellant chased *1294 him and fired at his car. Dumas drove into a yard seeking help and appellant blocked him in. Ms. James jumped out and ran for help. Appellant pointed his gun at Dumas and forced him to get into the trunk of the car. When Dumas beat on the trunk for help, appellant opened it and said, "I see you don't want to live." Appellant firedtwo shots into Dumas' body and shut the trunk. Dumas survived his injuries.
Appellant next went to Dumas' home, where Ms. James had spent the night with her mother and her sister, Teresa Thomas. Only Ms. Thomas and her six-year-old daughter, Tameca, were at home. Using the butt of a gun, appellant knocked a front window out and shot Ms. Thomas inside the house. When she ran to the back yard, appellant followed and shot her several more times, fatally wounding her. Tameca was found on the back steps of the house. She had been shot three times. Although critically injured, Tameca recovered and testified at trial.
Appellant then returned to his house to retrieve more ammunition before proceeding to his place of employment. Appellant encountered Gordon Moore in the

Appellant next went into an office, where he shot Carl Lake. Witness testified hearing Mr. Lake telling appellant to leave, and then hearing a second shot. Mr. Lake was fatally wounded. Appellant then fired at James Rider from the top of a loading dock. After Mr. Rider staggered and fell to the ground, appellant shot him again. Mr. Rider was fatally wounded. As appellant was driving away, a number of men ran out of the place into the parking lot. Appellant stopped, opened fire, reloaded, fired again, and drove away. Ancil Davis was hit but survived.

The Asian and one Native American were removed with appellant's seventh and eighth peremptory challenges. Appellant waived his ninth challenge.
The State used four peremptory challenges to remove two African Americans and two Native Americans. One African American was removed because he appeared inattentive at some times and disruptive at others. The trial judge confirmed the observation, and appellant did not challenge it at trial.

originally shot inside her house. The trail of blood led to the back door and into the back yard. Her dirty, blood stained pants showed that she had crawled along the back of the house attempting to escape appellant. In his taped statement, appellant described Ms. Thomas's pleading for her life. Bullet holes in the house showed that appellant continued to fire at her as she crawled.
Witnesses heard Carl Lake shout at appellant after he had been shot once. Appellant's statement revealed that he shot Mr. Lake once, and as Mr. Lake moved toward him, he fired a second time. Forensic and blood spatter analysis confirmed this testimony. When appellant entered Mr. Lake's office, Lake put up his hand in a defensive motion. Appellant fired a shot thatgrazed Lake's fingertip and passed across his face causing an entry wound in one cheek and an exit wound in the other. Mr. Lake went across the room, grabbed a box, slipped, and fell down in front of appellant. Appellant fired a second shot into the top of Lake's head, killing him instantly.
Jim Rider suffered four gunshot wounds. Two struck him in the front. One grazed his head and the other passed through abdominal tissue. Neither was fatal. A witness testified that Rider started up the stairs at that point, stumbled, and fell down. When Ellis walked past, he fired two more shots into Rider's back. One of these was fatal.
The State also presented evidence that appellant showed no remorse for the killings, that he had acted calmly

A rich resource for medieval historians, the Liber rubeus de Scaccario is a register, or book of remembrance, first compiled in the clerical offices of the Exchequer during the reign of Henry III. It contains documents from the post-Conquest period up to the year 1230. Including deeds and grants, as well as records of serjeanties and material from pipe rolls and various other sources, it has been deemed second only to the Domesday Book in importance for its wealth of genealogical and geographical information. The various records were brought together in order to provide a convenient single source for establishing legal precedents, and it remained in use throughout the middle ages. This three-volume edition was prepared by the archivist Hubert Hall (1857-1944) and published in 1896. Among theWednesday, October 24, 2018

Russia Wins Medals Title

Alexander Legkov led a Russian sweep in the men's 50-kilometer cross-country race on Sunday in Sochi and the host nation was assured of the overall medals title. The Russians used a late surge to move past the United States and earn 33 total medals, including a games-high 13 golds.
The Americans finished with 28 total medals. Norway placed third with 26 total medals. The Norwegians 11 gold medals were second only to the Russian total.
Canada Wins Men's Hockey Gold; U.S. Fails to Medal

SidneyCrosby, Chris Kunitz and Jonathan Toews scored goals and Carey Price recorded his second straight shutout as Canada beat Sweden, 3-0, to win its second straight Olympic gold medal in men's hockey on Sunday morning. The Canadians never trailed once in the Olympic tournament and finished with a dominant 6-0-0 record.
Finland shut out a listless U.S. team, 5-0, on Saturday to win the bronze medal game. Teemu Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask made 27 saves in the Finnish victory.
Team USA driver Steven Holcomb was assisted in the run to the bronze medal by Curt Tomasevicz, Steve Langton and Chris Fogt. It was Holcomb's third medal, taking its place next to the bronze he won in the two-man at Sochi and the four-man gold the Americans won

SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose Earthquakes midfielders Anibal Godoy and Cordell Cato have been called to the Panama National Team and the Trinidad and Tobago National Team, respectively, for Copa America Centenario play-in games on January 8, 2016. A doubleheader – T&T vs. Haiti (2:30 p.m. PT) and Panama vs. Cuba (5:30 p.m. PT) – will be played back-to-back at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City. The four teams earned a spot in the play-in matches by reaching the quarterfinals of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, with Panama selected as the host by advancing the furthest in the tournament. The winners of the matches will earn the final two spots in the prestigious Copa America Centenario, hosted by the United States in the summer of 2016.
Godoy, 25,has earned 60 total caps for Panama since his international debut in 2010, scoring one goal. He has represented Panama at each of the last three CONCACAF Gold Cups, leading them to a fourth place, second place, and third place finish in the three tournaments, respectively. He was most recently called up for World Cup Qualifying matches against Jamaica and Costa Rica in November. He led the Quakes to a 6-1-3 record during his 10 appearances in the club’s starting XI after joining the team midseason.
Cato, 23, has earned 14 caps for T&T, scoring two goals. He most recently competed in a scoreless draw against the United States at Hasley Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad on November 17. Cato set career highs in appearances (28) and

A local diver, Matthew Lawrence, first noticed there was a lot of octopus interaction going on there. His observations piqued the interest of Scheel, who is a marine biologist, and Peter Godfrey-Smith, a philosopher who had been thinking about octopus consciousness.
The research team eventually recorded 52 hours of underwater video, showing 186 octopus interactions.
"I took a look fairly early on at one sequence in which one octopus approaches another in a fairly menacing way," recalls Scheel. "He gets all dark, stands up very tall, and the other octopus crouches down and turns very pale. And then, when the approaching octopus persists, the other one flees.

Kevin Theis' Edward, the loquacious Irish journo, has spent his life running away from his family back home, only to find that he misses them desperately. And Chris Rickett's Adam, despite being in some ways the least-developed character of the three, keeps reliving memories of a childhood during which he felt abandoned by his parents in favor of the host of foster children they raised.
Belinda Bremner's sensitive, if occasionally too leisurely, staging for Oak Park Festival Theatre mutes histrionics in favor of offhand observations and bruising asides — the latter the specialty of Theis' Edward. And there are moments of genuine anguishwoven throughout the two acts.
Though neither McGuinness nor Bremner has quite resolved the problem of staging boredom without falling into occasional stretches of near-tedium, "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me" allows the onstage threesome ample opportunity to flesh out an affecting portrait of comradeship and compassion in the worst of circumstances.

China's moon landing is part of a new space race by emerging nations
China watched last weekend as the nation’s first lunar rover rolled across the moon’s surface. It was a moment of national pride for the country when images of the six-wheel rover, dubbed Jade Rabbit, were transmitted live back to Earth, showing the red and gold Chinese flag on the moon for the first time.

China watchedthis month as the nation's first lunar rover rolled across the moon's surface.
It was a moment of national pride when images of the six-wheel rover, dubbed Jade Rabbit, were transmitted live back to Earth, showing the redand gold Chinese flag on the moon for the first time.
"Now as Jade Rabbit has made its touchdown on the moon surface," the state-run Xinhuanews agency said, "the whole world again marvels at China's remarkable space capabilities."
The lunar triumph offered many Americans their first glimpse at an unfolding new space race involving countries with emerging economies. Space exploration, once the exclusive domain of the world's superpowers, is now being undertaken by dozens of nations aiming to show the world their technological prowess.
Although these countries are still decades behind the United States in space technology, their push into the cosmos comes at a time when NASA has been wrestling with budgetary restraints and struggling to achieve new milestones in space flight.
It prompted Buzz Aldrin, the former astronaut now from Los Angeles and the second man to walk on the moon, to say in an interview that U.S. government officials lack leadership in space

West Should Stay out of Russia's Debate on Economic Reform
The drama of Russian reform was given a roadshow performance
at the 1994 World Economic Forum just concluded at this resort
town. Western-trained, market-oriented Russian reformers made their
case against the more conservative Russian economists who now have
taken control of policy in Moscow.
Russia's new prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, traveled to
Davos to answer them and to respond to the criticisms of former
Western advisers to the Yeltsin government.p The argument was more
nuanced and the outcome less transparent than some accounts have
made out.
The reformers accuse their rivals of having carried out an
"economic coup d'etat" and say that the new government's programs
will bring about hyperinflation in Russia by mid-summer. Prime
Minister Chernomyrdin denies this, saying Russia must be stabilized
but must also continue economic reforms. He said thecountry cannot
turn back, but it also cannot slavishly copy a Western model that
rests on assumptions irrelevant to Russian conditions.
"We will look after ourselves," he said. He also warned,
ominously, "Don't look down on Russia."
Chernomyrdin's speech on Sunday was understandably defensive.
The Western press interpretation of the Russian reform struggle,
and the reactions of the business and political leadership gathered
in Davos, all but unanimously have held the Chernomyrdin approach
wrong, if not perverse, and the young reform leaders - Yegor
Gaidar, considered the architect of the previous reform policy, and
Boris Fyodorov, former finance minister - clearly right.
Another young Russian, a new entrepreneur, remarked to me that
neither Gaidar nor Fyodorov had ever before run anything beyond an
academic or banking seminar. The policies they have tried to apply
in recent months are those of the Western academic

Because he was a good man, Gandhiji imagined that everybody would be like him: patriotic and unselfish. So he dreamt of a nation partly because there was no nation. When he was asking for freedom, whose freedom was he asking for? There was no India. There was only a set of kingdoms and some British-ruled administrative units. So, he had to first of all create an India and then say that this India wanted freedom. His thinking went into creating a nation which according to him was an ideal India, swarajya, Hindu swarajya or Ram RajyaLynne Patton fired back at Rep.

"You know, what I'd like to ask the congresswoman from Michigan is ... why does she take the word of a self-confessed perjurer and criminally convicted white man over a black female who's highly educated, worked up through the ranks of the most competitive companies in real estate, spoke before 25 million people at the Republican National Convention, and now works in one of the most historic administrations in history," Patton said.
"So to me, that would be my question," Patton continued. "That's more racist than being put up there as a quote, unquote 'prop.' "
Patton went on to say that her intention at the hearing was not to represent all African-Americans, merely her own experiences working for Trump bothaid MORE (R-N.C.), who invited Patton to Capitol Hill to refute claims of racism lobbed at Trump by Cohen.
Cohen, 52, called Trump a "racist" at Wednesday's hearing and accused the president of a variety of crimes. The president's former lawyer was sentenced to three years in prison last year for charges including lying to Congress, which is a felony. He is scheduled to report to prison next month.
Near the end of Cohen's testimony, Tlaib accused Meadows of committing a "racist act" by using Patton as a "prop" to defend Trump.
"Just because someone has a person of color, a black person working for them does not mean that they aren't racist," Tlaib said at Wednesday's hearing.

In what is perhaps the greatest blow to ICANN's credibility, the EDPB undercuts ICANN's legal appeal to a ruling it lost last month in German court, stating clearly that it cannot force people to provide additional "admin" and "technical" contacts for a given domain name – something some were hoping would act as an effective workaround to the privacy law.
That appeal now looks dead in the water, contributing to a series of embarrassing failures on ICANN's part to regain control of its authority over the Whois service.

An ongoing project by students in the College of Engineering's Humanitarian and Social Entrepreneurship program is helping Africans move beyond subsistence farming by developing affordable, inexpensive greenhouses.
When people think about the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, they think of oil refineries, smokestacks, and trucks spewing out thick black smoke. They don't usually think of cows.
But recently, the idea that cattle could be a source of greenhouse gas has been attracting attention. It turns out that the belches of cows, sheep, and other livestock animals contain substantial amounts of methane, a particularly potent greenhouse gas that has about 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

Military women's perspectives on health care during deployment.
Approximately 367,000 women serve in the U.S. military and regularly deploy with their units to austere military environments. A survey was used to describe 841 military women's perceptions about the health care provider that is available them during deployment and their perceptions of barriers to adequate diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic infections in these austere environments. The study findings have implications for military provider training, sick call policy, predeployment training, and development of self-care alternatives for military women during deployment.reading and writing were two separate skills in Tudor England, this is highly dubious. If Susanna could write her name, she could read. One website contrasts the handwriting of Susanna and her father with that of her husband, John Hall: “His signature is what one would expect from a man who wrote in a clear Italian hand. Would that his father-in-law’s signatures had had such clarity and consistency.” John Hall wrote in an italic hand. Clearly, he was highly literate. Susanna and Shakespeare wrote in Secretary Hand. Clearly, they were functionally illiterate boobs.

it’s because of his single-minded devotion to his poetry. The only thing he didn’t fail at is the one thing he didn’t do (write Shakespeare’s poetry). He points out that he had been one of the richest peers in England, but at the end of his life, he is impoverished. Why? Because of his devotion to his Muse. How the fuck much did parchment cost in Elizabethan England? Oh, also he claims Burghley stole his inheritance. Whatever. When he witnesses a performance of Henry V, he silently mouths the St. Crispin’s Day speech and weeps at the beauty of his own words. Barf.
Anyway, after seeing the Jonson play, he has an idea: he can use the public theater to spread his ideas and, somehow, win a kingdom forin blank verse was Gorboduc or Ferrex and Porrex from 1561.
Some other stupid things: I’ve hinted that there are some problems with the chronology of the plays. Here are some more: Hamlet appears to be written shortly after Romeo and Juliet, and Marlowe is still alive when it is performed. He sneaks off to tattle to Robert Cecil about it. Everyone explicitly makes a connection between the character of Polonius and Lord Burghley. Later, Jonson will similarly tattle about Richard III (which therefore must have been written after Hamlet), though he agonizes over what he’s done. Richard III is supposed to satirize Robert Cecil, who was apparently somewhat hunchbacked. The film suggests that Richard was never portrayed as hunchbacked before the play.

around accusing Shakespeare/Oxford of writing seditious plays is, of course, preposterous. Edmund Tilney held the position of Master of the Revels. He was the official censor, and all plays had to be approved by him. If the plays were as obviously seditious as the film suggests, Tilney would never have approved them.
Oxford writes Richard III specifically to achieve…I have no idea what…in his struggles against the Cecils and his plots to promote his son. His plan backfires spectacularly, and the Cecils use it to manufacture the Essex Rebellion. In fact, shortly before the rebellion, some of the conspirators paid the Lord Chamberlain’s Men to perform Richard II (that’s 2nd, not 3rd) at the Globe. The play was not new at the time.

One of the top-ranked offensive linemen in this year’s draft class appears to have suffered an injury at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Thursday.
According to multiple reports, Ohio State interior lineman Billy Price stopped his bench press after a few reps. Price then walked off while grabbing at his left shoulder/pectoral.
Price was a four-year starter for the Buckeyes and saw time at left guard, right guard and center during his time in Columbus. He spent the 2017 season at center and was named both a first-team All-American and the Rimington Trophy winner as the best center in college football.
Price has been projected to come off the board during the first two days of the draft. An injury could alter that perception, although any speculation on that

some 30 charges, including interfering with forced labor cases while former Supreme Court justice Ko has some 20 charges, including interfering with the bribery trial of a businessman that involved an appeals court judge. It would be an apparent abuse of judicial power if the two former top court justices, who both served as the chief of the National Court Administration (NCA) from Feb. 2014 to May 2017, are found to have kept a blacklist of judges who were critical of the judicial administration.
The court would deliberate on who would review the validity of their warrants. If the warrants for the former top court justices are dismissed, the court will face criticism from the public. Then the ruling party is likely to demand setting up a special tribunal,which could be in violation of the Constitution, for fair trials. The court should be strict with its decision since a series of its arrest warrant rejections have already caused much controversy.
The allegations for Park amount to 159 pages. In the application of the arrest warrant for Lim Jong-hun, the former deputy chief of the court administration body, Park appears as his accomplice. Prosecutors will call in Supreme Court Chief Justice Yang Seung-tae around the year-end for questioning. Once Park is arrested, Yang could be named as an accomplice in the application. Prosecutors are getting to the bottom of the power abuse case involving former high-ranking judges.
People’s distrust in the judicial system is deepening as they are witnessing constant trouble within the court. Recently, a man, who was

Torchwood‘s (and Doctor Who‘s) own Captain Jack will be back on TV – in the U.S. no less – as EW Inside TV reports actor John Barrowman has joined the cast of the CW’s Arrow, based on the DC Comics superhero Green Arrow, in a recurring role.
Although the name of the role isn’t mentioned, he is described as a “well-dressed man…as mysterious as he is wealthy…he is an acquaintance of the Queen family and a prominent figure in Starling City.” The Queen family refers to the Green Arrow’s name of Oliver Queen, the former mayor of Star City (which from the text may be renamed Starling City for the series?).

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
The Ranking
Description
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection faithfully recreates eight of the most memorable tables from the golden age of pinball in photorealistic 3D. Working closely with Williams to ensure authenticity of each of the games, the collection is highlighted by some of the most popular and innovative Williams pinball tables, including Gorgar, the first-ever talking pinball machine, Black Knight, which introduced "Magna-Save" and Bonus Ball, and Space Shuttle, which took the pinball industry by storm in 1984. Every table has been meticulously recreated to bring players the visuals, sound effects and gameplay that made these games legendary successes. Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection harkens back to the arcades of the 1980s. Players begin Pinball Hall of Fame: The''1408'' is a 2007 PsychologicalHorror film directed by Mikael Håfström and starring Creator/JohnCusack and Creator/SamuelLJackson, based on a Creator/StephenKing short story by the same name.
Cusack plays horror writer Mike Enslin, who specializes in investigating supposedly haunted houses and other sites of supernatural activity, which he has documented previously in books like ''Ten Haunted Graveyards'' and ''Ten Haunted Mansions''. However, these investigations have yet to bear fruit in the form of confirmable sightings, leaving him pessimistic and jaded. Through an anonymous recommendation, Enslin learns about the Dolphin Hotel, in which no one has been able to stay even a single night (or even one hour) in one particular room - the eponymous 1408. According to his research, everyone who tries has committed suicide or died from anything from heart

The film score and the soundtrack were composedextravagance. One example: when the less fortunate of the film's racing automobiles crash and explode, the plumes of flame and dust could be any one of the colors of the rainbow, as if Andy Warhol was back from the dead, psyched as ever. By comparison, 300 may as well have been directed by Lars Von Trier.
Plots and themes aside, the Wachowski Brothers have always been readily identifiable as a distinctly auteuristic presence. From the delectable sexuality of Bound through the flawed ambition of The Matrix sequels, theirs is a style keyed into what makes us human (even as it resides within special effects-driven spectacles and familiar genre trappings), evoking telling subtleties with their impeccable, almost Kubrickian framing schemes, positioning men and women, leaders and masses, the rulers and

it on LSD. I can only wonder about the future bootlegs being sold at comic book conventions, pairing the film up with various Pink Floyd songs that somehow match up with its bonkers imagery. The storyline remains one modestly grounded in simple themes and virtues: of David versus Goliath, of remaining true to oneself, of being there for friends at the end of the day. Performers notwithstanding, you can expect the usual Wachowski-directed performances: overly mannered and deliberate but also awkward, flawed, and revealing (the casting of Keanu Reeves as Neo remains one of the most unlikely and brilliant marriages of talent - or, as some would say, lack thereof - and content, in recent cinema), deliberately shaped to fit within the peg holes carved out amidst thein at the right moment. Christina Ricci, Emile Hirsch, John Goodman and Susan Sarandon all nail this storybook genre, although Paulie Litt is particularly special as Speed Racer's younger brother Spritle, quite possibly the most curmudgeony ten-year-old ever put on a movie screen (in the film's penultimate moment of what-the-fuck, candy-colored bliss, he and his pet chimpanzee Chim Chim race around an upscale car factory, jamming out to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"). If the film's style is any limitation in the end, it's a deliberate one, as Speed Racer aspires not to reinvent, but to reinvigorate.

where application of a spot of light to a monolayer of excitable, optogenetically modified cardiomyocytes causes the cells in this region to depolarize, bearing a direct influence on the action potential duration of cells in the immediate neighborhood. Once attracted, the spiral anchors to the location of the light spot, thereby making a transition from functional to anatomical reentry. Again, when the light at the current location is switched off and a new location is illuminated, in the next step of the drag sequence, the spiral reverts back to functional reentry, from its anatomical variant. If the new location is such that the spiral core overlaps with the basin of attraction of the optogenetically depolarized area, then it anchors to the new location and makes a transition backDr. Ada Nifosi Credit: University of Kent
Women's rights in ancient Egypt were better before the 4th century BC than during the Greco-Roman period that followed, according to a new book by a University of Kent expert.
Dr. Ada Nifosi, a lecturer in Ancient History in the University's School of European Culture and Languages, found that the status of women in ancient Egypt was higher and had more autonomy than generations to come, including over issues that remain contested today.
For Becoming a Woman and Mother in Greco-Roman Egypt (Routledge 2019), Dr. Nifosi carried out a detailed study of women's everyday lives.
She focused on three key phases—coming of age at puberty, menstruation and childbirth—and found that the status of women and children started changing when Egypt became subject to Greek and

Nifosi's studies used a large number of personal objects from private houses in the Greco-Roman Egyptian village of Bakchias (Fayyum, Egypt). By combining groups of artefacts from these houses with information from papyri and ostraca (pottery sherds inscribed with writing), she could establish details about how women and girls lived their lives.
Dr. Nifosi's research touches on many issues, such as the status of unborn children, the medical role of midwives and beliefs about menstruation, which are still relevant today. She is planning to carry out further research on menstruation in order to raise more awareness about ancient and modern social stigmas.

There's no doubt that "Kiss Me Deadly" is considered Lita Ford's signature song. But one lucky 12-year-old may have got her own signature moment in the spotlight when the former Runaway rocker invited the child onstage to join in a performance of the catchy 1988 solo cut during a concert in California.
That's right, young Helena Harris received the cherished appearance alongside Ford last week (Aug. 31) at live music venue the Canyon north of Los Angeles. Watch the fan video toward the bottom of this post.

Bachan was killed, while Garfinkle was seriously injured, having lain on the car's windshield as the car drove on for about 300 feet. At that point the car stopped and a passenger, believed to be Cabrera's husband, Josue Luna, got out and pushed Garfinkle off so the couple could drive on. Police say a seven-month-old child was also in the car. Luna is still being sought by police.

Jamie's Elsewhere
Sacramento-based hard rock outfit Jamies Elsewhere channel the aggressive emo-tinged melancholy of bands like Sparta, Taking Back Sunday, and Chiodos while maintaining an allegiance to melodic punk rock. Formed in 2005 around the talents of vocalist Chris Patterson, keyboardist/vocalist Mike Spearman, drummer Anthony Scarpelli, bass player Nick Rodriguez, and guitarists Matt Scarpelli and Anthony Carioscia, the group signed to Victory Records in 2007 on the strength of its self-released EP and relentless touring and D.I.Y. work ethic. The band's debut album, Guidebook for Sinners Turned Saints, was released in May 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger

But it has made an impressive rebound in recent years, with a new airport terminal, a new home for the Indianapolis Colts football team, Lucas Oil Stadium, and a major ongoing expansion of its convention center and hotels.
Its central location and crisscross of interstate highways — putting the city within a day's drive of half the nation's population — are a major calling card. In good times and bad, Lilly has always been a bastion of stability. But now the drugmaker's own good health, and survival, are very much at risk.

workers, or nearly 14 percent of its global workforce, by 2011 to save $1 billion annually. Many of the cuts are hitting Lilly's sprawling corporate headquarters, labs and manufacturing plants in Indiana's capital city.
The office vacancy rate in downtown Indianapolis has jumped to more than 20 percent, up from 17.8 percent several months earlier, as a result of Lilly moving out of two large buildings near its main headquarters, according to the Indianapolis Star.
The current round of job cuts is only half over, and some analysts expect new rounds to come as the generics arrive and devastate its leading brands.
BRACING FOR PROFIT HIT
Lechleiter expects annual company sales to be above $20 billion in 2014, which he calls the "trough year" of the patent crisis. That would be roughlyshare prices stagnate due to their own approaching confrontations with generics. Like Lilly, they have been unable to launch many big-selling new drugs in recent years due to failed clinical trials and tougher scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But Wall Street has meted out more punishment to Lilly.
Its shares have fallen 37 percent in the past three years, compared with a 12 percent decline for the ARCA Pharmaceutical Index of large U.S. and European drugmakers.
BOTTOM OF PILE, BUT MORE ROOM TO FALL
"The value of the industry has been decimated, and Lilly is perhaps at the bottom of the pile," said Viren Mehta, of Mehta Partners, a pharmaceuticals advisory group. "As with the industry, the question is how much lower Lilly's valuation can go."

Street clamors for a big merger.
"John Lechleiter is showing intellectual courage by being willing to suck up and take the punch of the approaching earnings decline, while recognizing the long term value of the company will be driven by internal research and development productivity," Roy said.
Like others, he is skeptical of the gains from mega-mergers. "The problem with big mergers is that the R&D guys from Company A are thrown together with those from Company B and the guy with the most pull with senior management keeps his drugs and his guys on board, while the other guy gets let go," he said. "It's not meritocratic; it's political. It's rarely a rational process and there's a five-year period of stagnation because of all the politics in these bigmergers."
By swearing off a major deal, Roy said Lechleiter might be making a personal financial sacrifice as well. CEOs typically win big bonuses, equity options and other incentive pay once such deals start temporarily turbocharging earnings.
An extreme example was former Pfizer CEO Hank McKinnell, who helped spearhead back-to-back mergers with Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia in 2000 and 2003, respectively. Pfizer pushed him out in 2006 after huge cost savings from the mergers finally evaporated and the bloated company languished. Despite his failed tenure, McKinnell walked away with more than $200 million in retirement pay and other compensation.
"When you're willing to say, 'However I'm paid, I'm more interested in the long-term growth of the company than merging with someone else,' that's an approach people should approve," Roy said.

The company's civic consciousness goes back to Colonel Eli Lilly, a chemist and Civil War veteran who founded the drugmaker in 1876. He championed the building of roads, bridges and parks and lavished the fast-growing city with his philanthropy.
Family members remained active in the company until recent decades, but no longer are involved in management. The Lilly Endowment, a private family foundation established in 1937 by three of Lilly's heirs, has awarded more than $7 billion in grants over the years, largely to Indiana organizations.
Although the endowment is the drugmaker's biggest stockholder, holding more than 11 percent of Lilly's shares, it is not represented on Lilly's board of directors and declined to comment on company strategy.

In order to research spectral response characteristics of transmission-mode nanostructure aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) photocathodes, the AlGaN photocathodes materials with varied aluminum (Al) composition were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and its optical properties were measured. The Al compositions of each AlGaN film of the photocathodes were analyzed from their adsorption properties curves; their thickness was also calculated by the matrix formula of thin-film optics. The nanostructure AlGaN photocathodes were activated with the Caesium-Oxygen (Cs-O) alternation, and after the photocathode was packaged in vacuum, their spectrum responses were measured. The experimental results showed that the trend of spectrum response curves first increased and then decreased along with the increasing of the incident light

Dynamism was also taken up by Umberto Boccioni and other artists and creative thinkers early in the 20th century. Dynamist artists used the concept as part of a way of representing the complexity of processes, rather than be limited by the discrete and static moments within change, which also illustrated the limits of human perception.All were sick.

Another mother called Muner said she had walked for four hours to get help for her son Sparku. "I was so tired, she said, and it was very difficult getting here.

Despite having support from 66% of the Washington population in September, by October, that numbered had plummeted to only 46%. We need only look at the $22 million in dark, out-of-state money spent by opponents of the bill, versus the $8.4 million raised by proponents, to realize the pollution of our democracy by big money spending in politics.
An Arlington, Va.-based conservative group, whose existence until now was unknown to almost everyone in politics, raised and spent $250 million in 2012 to shape political and policy debate nationwide. The group, Freedom Partners, and its president, Marc Short, serve as an outlet for the ideas and funds of the mysterious Koch brothers, cutting checks asCase of Civilian Killed by Azeris Reviewed by CIS Council of Prosecutors
YEREVAN (News.am)—The case of a civilian Armenian who was killed in Azeri captivity in October was reviewed by the Coordinating Council of Prosecutors General of the CIS member states, who redirected Armenia’s inquiry to Azerbaijan.
Armenia’s Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan Earlier Armenia’s Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan sent a letter to his Russian counterpart Yuri Chaika requesting he review the case of Manvel Saribekyan, who was found hanged by his Azeri captives after being captured in September and branded a “saboteur.”
At the time Armenian officials said that the 20-year-old Saribekyan, who was from the village of Tutujur in the Gegharkunik region of Armenia, was a civilian and was tortured to death or “driven to suicide.”
Armenian officials also said that

Saribekyan had demobilized from the Armenian army four months prior to being captured by Azeri troops and was working as a shephard. They say he crossed a nearby section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani frontier by accident.
Saribekian’s mother, Siranush Balian, and other close relatives, confirmed this when they spoke to RFE/RL’s Armenian service in Tutujur at the time. They said that the young man had scraped a modest living for his impoverished family by selling firewood since ending his military service in May. They said he went missing on September 11 after going to a nearby forest to collect more firewood and graze the family’s sole cow in the process.
Prosecutor General Hovsepyan also sent a letter to his Azeri counterpart Zakir Garalov asking for assistance in the investigation into theFormer Trump adviser Carter Page on Monday told Fox News that he is cooperating with the Senate Intelligence Committee’s probe into the Trump campaign and contacts with Russia.
The unverified dossier, from former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, identified Page as the campaign's point of contact with Russia. Page denied these allegations in an interview with Fox News last month, and said he was eager to cooperate with Congress.
Amid questions swirling in Washington that have forced the resignation of one top Trump official and the scrutiny of several others, most Americans say they're at least somewhat concerned about the possibility that the Republican businessman's campaign had inappropriate contacts with the Russian government, but, in an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, less than half say they're very concerned.

Thursday, he said he was calling off the protest after the group behind a controversial Islamic cultural centre due to be built near Ground Zero agreed to relocate it.
The group has denied making such a deal with Mr Jones, who later said he was only putting the burning on hold until he had met the centre's organisers.
Mr Jones said he was travelling to New York to meet Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the centre.
The cleric said on Friday that he was "prepared to consider meeting with anyone who is seriously committed to pursuing peace" but confirmed that he had no current plans to meet Mr Jones.
In an extraordinary news conference later on Friday, Mr Jones and a spokesman KA Paul read out two telephone numbers and gavethe imam two hours to contact them to clarify his position.
Mr Paul said there was confusion over the issue and he wanted it to be "crystal clear" whether or not the mosque was being moved.
As the deadline passed, Mr Paul said they had not heard from the imam, but that he could "confirm 100% that there will not be Korans burning tomorrow".
Mr Paul said later that Pastor Jones boarded a flight bound for New York on Friday evening.
The BBC's Paul Adam's, in Washington, says developments in the story are getting increasingly bizarre.
Three days ago, very few Americans had ever heard of Pastor Terry Jones. Now his pronouncements are competing for airtime with those of the president of the United States, our correspondent adds.

Impeachment
Issues still linger with Supreme Court
Many of those involved in West Virginia’s impeachment summer seem to just want to put it all behind them and move on. That isn’t a bad idea, even though a critical question remains unanswered. It may come back to haunt us.
Three of the five people who were state Supreme Court justices at the beginning of summer are gone. Former Justices Robin Davis, Menis Ketchum and Allen Loughry quit because of the scandal involving waste of taxpayers’ money and, for Ketchum and Loughry, crimes committed while in office. Four of them were impeached by the House of Delegates (Ketchum resigned first).
Justice Elizabeth Walker was tried and acquitted by the state Senate. A trial for Justice Margaret Workman was stymied by the high court itself,eyes wide open. The entire political establishment and every poll had forewarned and foretold of Le Pen’s first-round breakthrough.
That voters pulled the trigger anyway – giving her 1.2 million more votes than in 2012 and, with 21.5 percent of the total, the best score in a presidential race for a Le Pen – showed how ingrained her brand of anti-establishment “French-first” nationalism has become in areas most bruised by and fearful of globalization’s blows.
A less divisive and more polished politician than her father, the mother of three has made voting for the National Front party that Jean-Marie founded in 1972 more socially acceptable than ever. Many of his voters kept their ultra-right political sympathies to themselves, afraid of being labelled racists and anti-Semites by association with the ex-Foreign

Guo has been on day trips with him to the G7 in France before, but this is her first extended exposure to public life, and perhaps her first experience of Mail Online full-colour spreads.
Hunt knows, faced by a likely opponent in Boris Johnson whose only known virtue is his personality, he has to be more than the cold-blooded, sometimes awkward, technocrat. His trace of a smile and wide eyes is not enough.

Guo not only lends some unaffected charisma to his stiffness but some informality, joking about being kept awake for hours at 2am by the amplified Ethiopian Christian chanting in a church just outside the grounds of the commissioner’s residence in Addis Ababa. Hunt says of his wife: “She does a great job in keeping me relaxed in a very intense week and she is also a great diplomatic asset.”
I suggest that the qualities that have made Hunt one of the great survivors of the Cameron era – he appears calm, thoughtful, well-read and well-off – seem out of step with our angry populist times.

killed a woman. They ran Bill Clinton for president twice. Meanwhile -- this just proves the theory right here -- Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton, has made a career out of calling other people sexist.
NBC NEWS BOSS ANDY LACK TAKES AIM AT FARROW'S CLAIMS HE WAS BLOCKED FROM REPORTING ON ALLEGED WEINSTEIN CRIMES
Here's one among countless examples:
Hillary Clinton, as a presidential candidate in 2016: I went to Beijing in 1995 and said women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights. And I believe that with all my heart. When I was Secretary of State, I put women's rights at the center of our foreign policy, and I went to 112 countries for all of you. I raised it in every country. I looked across the tablenew book, Farrow tried to schedule an interview with Hillary Clinton for another book he was writing about U.S. foreign policy. Hillary's publicist, a man called Nick Merrill, warned Farrow outright that a certain "big story" that he was working on was "a concern for us."
In other words, leave Harvey Weinstein alone. If you want to get what we've got. Stop it. Stop bothering Harvey Weinstein. That was the message to Farrow from Hillary Clinton.
Noah Oppenheim is still the president of NBC. Andy Lack is still the chairman, despite his own documented history of sexual indiscretions with NBC employees. Neither one has ever told the truth about the Harvey Weinstein cover-up.
Now Weinstein had been a longtime fundraiser for the Clinton family. Hillary wanted to protect him, no matter

how many women he was hurting and there were quite a few apparently.
Several months later, Weinstein returned Hillary's favor. He sent an email to an NBC executive called Deborah Turness, and he pitched a docu-series about -- you guessed it -- Hillary Clinton. Turness called the idea "absolutely stunning."
But don't be surprised. NBC News is in the tank for the Democratic Party and also in the tank for Harvey Weinstein.
When Farrow began his investigation, he may not have known this. He was still an NBC employee at the time. But he learned it when the company rejected his story on Harvey Weinstein, despite the fact he had it nailed. In the end, Farrow took the piece elsewhere and won a Pulitzer Prize with it.
So now we know why(Reuters) - The driver of a pickup truck who crashed into a group of motorcyclists near New Hampshire’s White Mountains, killing seven of them, was arrested on Monday and charged with seven counts of negligent homicide, officials said.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was driving a company vehicle hauling a trailer on a highway in Randolph, police said, when he slammed into a group of 10 motorcyclists. State authorities described the wreckage as the worst they had ever seen.
Zhukovskyy was arrested at his home in West Springfield, Massachusetts, on Monday morning, the New Hampshire deputy attorney general’s office said in a statement.
He later appeared in a Massachusetts state court, where he agreed not to contest extradition to New Hampshire.

Juvenile, brother traced after their mother posted a photo on the Facebook profile of the phone’s owner
A 14-year-old and his brother were allegedly apprehended by the Delhi police for stealing a smartphone after the phone’s owner noticed that her facebook account was being accessed by a third party following the theft.
On March 27, around 8.15 p.m., the mobile phone of Priyanka Arora was snatched by two boys while she was waiting for a bus at east Delhi’s Krishna Nagar to go to her residence in Bhola Nath Nagar.
According to the police, the apprehended minors revealed that they had given the stolen phone to their mother, who used the phone’s social networking features, including Facebook and WhatsApp. The mother, who was allegedly fully aware that it was a stolen1930 his predecessor Isaak Zelensky tried to depose him, but since the Central Committee supported Ikramov, this attempt failed.
Anti-religious policies
Ikramov bore the most responsibility for designing the specifics of the design of anti-Islamic actions during the first five-year plan. Sometimes he personally ordered the arrest of clergymen. Further measures to struggle against the clergy were taken, as Ikramov put it, "not by prohibitive measures, but by measures developed from broad party-organizational and cultural enlightenment work."
Great Purge
Like many other early Communists, Ikramov fell victim to Stalin's Great Purge. Together with Khodzhayev he was arrested in 1937 and accused of anti-Soviet, Trotskyist activities, like being connected with agents of the British Intelligence Service. In the following Case of the Anti-Soviet "Bloc of Rights and Trotskyites" Ikramov confessed being a British

Story highlights Valerie Spruill, 60, found out her husband was her father in 2004
Spruill's husband-father died in 1998 at the age of 60
Spruill learned the family secret from an uncle
A DNA test on hair taken from a brush proved the claim
It was a dark secret. The kind that destroys lives, devastates families and decimates faith.
Nobody shared it with Valerie Spruill while her husband was alive. For years after his death, she heard bits of the story. It was something about an absentee father, something about her husband.
None of it made sense, she said. That's not until her uncle finally told her what no one else had: She had unknowingly married the father she never knew.
"It is devastating. It can destroy you," Spruill told CNN late Thursday by telephone."It almost did."
Spruill, 60, of Doylestown, Ohio, went public with her story this month, first published in the Akron Beacon Journal , with the hopes that it would help others facing what seem like insurmountable problems.
It's a story that has gone viral, attracting attention as faraway as Australia and India where the questions are always the same, she says: How could that happen?
It's a question that Spruill said she has been grappling with since she first learned the truth in 2004, six years after her husband Percy Spruill died.
"I don't know if he ever knew or not. That conversation didn't come up," she said. "I think if he did know, there is no way he could have told me."
She confirmed that her husband was indeed her father through

Easter Sunday was a beautiful celebration at the Museum of the City of New York. We raised our voices in song and marked the 81st Anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. We honored the important work of Proactiva Open Arms with the seventh annual ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism, as well as the legacy of the Lincoln volunteers and their enduring example in the fight against fascism.
The ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism connects the legacy of the Lincoln Brigade with contemporary causes and includes a $100,000 prize to support the ongoing work of the recipient.

FMC hired Goldman to help consider various options, including acquisitions, a leveraged buyout, and a recapitalization. After studying FMC's corporate structure and the growth nature of its principal businesses, FMC and Goldman determined that a recapitalization was FMC's best alternative.4

A recapitalization would help shield FMC from a hostile takeover by enabling FMC's management to increase significantly its proportionate equity interest in the corporation and, at the same time, substitute a substantial amount of debt for equity in the company's capital structure. In short, FMC would buy each share of its common stock from public shareholders for cash plus one share of new common stock; management, on the other hand, would purchase its old common shares entirely with new

Works for Piano Four-hands
Mozart is one of the pioneers of works for piano four-hands; he was undoubtedly encouraged to do so through his music-making on the harpsichord with his sister, as depicted in the famous family portrait by della Croce (1780/81). Our edition comprises all of the authentic sonatas and variations, as well as works which have only survived as fragments and were then later completed. In addition the volume contains a sonata accredited to Mozart and three four part compositions, which were originally either for mechanical organ or have survived with no indication as to the instrument for which they were written. This thorough revision (previously HN 92 and 93) was able to take into account new sources as well as the latest scholarly research on Mozart.in place as soon as next spring after a productive meeting last week between the area’s representatives in Annapolis and state boating officials.

Two stuntmen who did not know how to swim drowned after they jumped from a helicopter into a lake in southern India during the filming of a movie, police said Tuesday.
The crew was shooting the climax of the film Monday when Raghav Uday and Anil Verma jumped as part of an action sequence. Police superintendent Chandra Gupta said the two stuntmen did not know how to swim and were not wearing life vests, and that a motorboat that was supposed to rush to the scene and rescue them was found to be not working.
A video of the scene showed the two stuntmen landing in the water and thrashing around for a few seconds before disappearing from view. Local fishermen in small boats rowed to the middle of thelake but found no trace of the two men.
One of Kannada cinema's top actors, Duniya Vijay, also jumped into the water with the stuntmen, but managed to swim and was later rescued by a fisherman. The Kannada language is spoken in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, which has a thriving film industry.
A Kannada television channel broadcast an interview with one of the stuntmen in which he said he was scared of performing the jump because he had never done such a stunt before.
Police have registered a case of criminal negligence against the film's director and producers, Gupta said.

Earlier this week, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat hung a road sign directing traffic to the new American Embassy.
"It's not a dream, it's reality," Barkat said. "This morning, I am proud and excited to hang the first signs for the U.S. Embassy, which will open next week in Jerusalem."
"This is an historic event, and I thank US President Donald Trump for it. Jerusalem is the Jewish nation's eternal capital, and now, the world is beginning to recognize that. Happy Jerusalem holiday," said Barkat.
(Arutz Sheva’s North American desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York. The time posted automatically on all Arutz Sheva articles, however, is Israeli time.)(CNN) -- With Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's resignation this weekend, she will leave behind many of the problems and frustrations she has had running the state.
A dismissed claim called Sarah Palin's wearing of an Arctic Cat logo at a snowmobile race a conflict of interest.
But she will have to continue to deal with one of her biggest complaints: the series of ethics accusations lodged against her that will follow her after she leaves office.
Since her bombshell resignation announcement, several new ethics complaints have been filed with state authorities, including one saying that she should not be able to claim per diem funds when she stays at her Wasilla, Alaska, home instead of Anchorage or Juneau, where she has offices. The governor's mansion is in Juneau.

that cost the most and drew the most attention was centered on whether Palin inappropriately fired the state's director of public safety. This complaint had been filed weeks before Palin's run for vice president.
The public safety director said he was let go because of his refusal to fire a state trooper who was Palin's former brother-in-law and was locked in a bitter divorce and custody battle with the governor's sister.
Palin and her supporters said he was let go because the director was insubordinate.
An independent investigator found that she had a right to fire him, but in doing so had violated a state ethics law. The investigation also found that she had abused the powers of her office by pressuring employees to get the trooper fired.

The Illinois Association of Park Districts gives out an award in her honor named the Helen Doria Arts In The Park Award.
Though some streets in the neighborhood have been named after early settlers like Philip McGregor Rogers and Patrick Leonard Touhy, Columbia Avenue was named after Columbia University in New York — the alma mater of early area real estate developer A.W. Wallen.
If renamed for Doria, the beach would join the growing trend of 49th Ward parks and beaches renamed to reflect "women whose accomplishments inspire future generations," Moore wrote in an email to residents.
Doria especially loved the beachand park near where she lived, Moore said.
"It was a place of relaxation and a source of inspiration for her."
Most recently, the beach at Pratt Boulevard was changed to Toby Prinz Beach Park, and Jarvis Avenue beach was renamed as Marion Mahony Griffin Beach Park.

The question is whether the previous publication by the Bombay Government would be an Act of the Gujarat Government under the law and in particular under the Bombay Reorganization Act, 1960., Clause (d) of Section 2 of the Bombay Reorganization Act reads as under:
'Law' includes any enactment, ordinance, regulation, order, byelaw, rule, scheme, notification or other instrument having, immediately before the appointed day, the force of law in the whole or in any part of the State of Bombay.
Section 88 of the said Act reads as follows:
88. Power to adapt laws.-For the purpose of facilitating the application in relation to the State of Maharashtra or Gujarat of any law made before the appointed day, the appropriate Government may, before the expiration of one year from that day, byordinance, regulation, order, byelaw, rule, scheme, etc., in the whole world. Whether it is a rule or scheme or notification, it must have before the appointed day the force of law in the whole or in any hart of the State of Bombay before Clause (d) can be applied. More over, the adaptation in Section 88 must be made within one year from the appointed day. The rules framed by Gujarat Government were not made within one year from the appointed day. Nor do the rules purport to be an adaptation. The contention of the learned Counsel for the appellant is rejected.
5. The learned Counsel for the appellant has also argued that the other two grounds given by the lower Court for acquittal are wrong. But it is

I remember one day being at Jive when 'Jesus Walks' was exploding on the radio and he, Chris Lighty, wanted to put 50 Cent on the remix. I remember Chris coming into my office, and we were laughing about 'Jesus Walks.’ He was like, 'I'm putting 50 on this record.' I was excited, because 50 was so big. In New York he was everything."
88-Keys: "For 'Jesus Walks,' I had given him the drum sample for that song. We had a real deep conversation on the drums that he heard on there, that he imagined using, and I told him I had that record [Curtis Mayfield's '(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go']. To date, he's the only person who chopped that. Everyone whoI think he kept it in there because it was one of the first records he had and it was sentimental to him. I think the Ludacris factor was the billing factor more than the meat and potatoes of the record itself."
Plain Pat: "'Breathe In, Breathe Out' was one of the big ones back then. It was one of the ones that Lyor [Cohen] really fucked with. Looking back, that's one of the worst on the album. (Laughs) That was the song that got his budget opened from Lyor. There was all this drama between Roc-A-Fella and Def Jam and they had paused all the budgets at Roc-A-Fella, because they were spending all this money. I happened to have 'Ye up at Def Jam. We bumped into Lyor

Was the puppeteer behind the ogre Sweetums
Had a wife and two daughters
Served as a shareholder and board member of The Jim Henson Company
John Paul Henson followed his father, Muppets creator Jim Henson, into puppeteering, and sadly, to an early death.
The younger Henson, 48, fell victim to a sudden heart attack Friday in Saugerties, N.Y.
John was the puppeteer behind the ogre Sweetums.
He leaves behind a wife, Gyongi, and two daughters, Katrina, 15, and Sydney, 10.
The Muppets have been back in the spotlight recently, thanks to their new film, Muppets Most Wanted, opening March 21, and a series of Super Bowl commercials for the Toyota Highlander.
A statement from the Henson Company read, "It is with great sadness that we confirm that John Henson, son of Jim and JaneHenson and brother to Lisa, Cheryl, Brian and Heather, died at age 48 of a sudden massive heart attack on Friday, February 14, while at home with his daughter. John served as a shareholder and board member of The Jim Henson Company. He leaves two daughters, Katrina (15) and Sydney (10) and his wife Gyongyi. A private service is being planned."

About this Book
I love my adopted homeland. But first, as an exchange student in Massachusetts, I learned to love chocolate-chip cookies and brownies. And I gained twenty pounds.
My love affair with America had begun with my love of the English language; we met at the lycée (junior high and high school) when I turned eleven. English was my favorite class after French literature, and I simply adored my English teacher. He had never been abroad but spoke English without a French accent or even a British one. He had learned it during World War II, when he found himself in a POW camp with a high school teacher from Weston, Massachusetts (I suspect they had long hours to practice). Without knowing whether they'd make it out alive, theydecided that if they did, they would start an exchange program for high school seniors. Each year, one student from the United States would come to our town and one of us would go to Weston. The exchange continues to this day, and the competition is keen.
During my last year at the lycée, I had good enough grades to apply, but I wasn't interested. With dreams of becoming an English teacher or professor, I was eager to start undergraduate studies at the local university. And at eighteen, naturally I had also convinced myself I was madly in love with a boy in my town. He was the handsomest though admittedly not the brightest boy around, the coqueluche (the darling) of all the girls. I couldn't dream of parting

from him, so I didn't even think of applying for Weston. But in the schoolyard, between classes, there was hardly another topic of conversation. Among my friends, the odds-on favorite to go was Monique; she wanted it so badly, and besides, she was the best in our class, a fact not lost on the selection committee, which was chaired by my English teacher and included among its distinguished ranks PTA members, other teachers, the mayor, and the local Catholic priest, balanced by the Protestant minister. But on the Monday morning when the announcement was expected, the only thing announced was that no decision had been made.
At home that Thursday morning (those days, there was no school on Thursdays but half days on Saturday), my English teacher appeared atalternative, and the other members had agreed. But since I had not even applied, he had to come and persuade my parents to let me go. My overadoring father, who would never have condoned my running away for a year, was not home. Perhaps my teacher was counting on this fact; but in any event, he managed to sell the idea to my mother. The real work then fell to her, because she had to persuade not only my father, but me as well. Not that she was without her own misgivings about seeing me go, but Mamie was always wise and farsighted; and she usually got her way. I was terribly anxious about what Monique would say, but once word got out, she was first to declare

Stop Calling it "Fake News"
MSM Questioner
It's not "fake news". It's lies and propaganda.
The Daily Show is fake news. The Onion is fake news. CNN is lies and propaganda. MSNBC is lies and propaganda.
A Rolex watch you buy from some guy on the street in NYC is fake. A NY Rangars (sic) hockey jersey made in China is fake.
CNN telling you that "Trump supporters burned and spray painted a church" is a lie. An NBC News anchor telling you he was in a war zone and faced enemy fire is a lie.
Keep it straight. When you talk see or hear people misusing the term "fake news", correct them and remind them that it's actually lies and propaganda.
Kerry strongly urges Pakistan to join others in fighting terrorism
NEW DELHI, INDIA: Pakistan needs to join other nations in fighting terrorists within its borders, US Secretary of State John Kerry urged on Tuesday, saying Islamabad should not feel isolated by talks between the United States, India and Afghanistan next month in New York.
Kerry announced the Afghanistan initiative on a visit to New Delhi for the annual US-India strategic dialogue. His show of support for his Indian hosts marked a change from Washington’s usual neutrality regarding India and Pakistan, South Asia’s two nuclear-armed antagonists.
Tensions between Pakistan and India have spiked of late, as an uprising in Indian-held Kashmir killed scores of people and injured thousands. Pakistan and India each claim the disputed territory in full but rule it only

And it's hard to escape the irony of North's choice by the NRA. North gained notoriety for the role he played during the Iran-Contra scandal, when Ronald Reagan's administration secretly sold US weapons to Iran and then used the proceeds to arm Nicaraguan rebels. He testified to Congress that he deserved some of the blame for shredding key evidence and deliberately misleading Congress and the public about the sale of arms. So, the man involved in exporting our gun problems overseas will now be leading the biggest gun advocacy organization in America.
Nonetheless, the NRA believes North should leadteam held its first matches in 1992.

These matches are officially registered by FIFA on the basis of the fact that the national team of Uzbekistan has been allowed since 1992 to participate in tournaments held under the auspices of FIFA. At the drawing of this tournament in the format of the league, the national team of Uzbekistan was the second after the national team of Kazakhstan.

High court to rule on law that could disqualify presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq from this weekend's election.
Egypt's highest constitutional court will decide whether to disqualify one of two candidates in this weekend's presidential runoff because of the so-called "political isolation" law, which bars ex-Mubarak officials from running for public office.
Hundreds of police and troops backed by armored vehicles set up a security ring around Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court ahead of the ruling on Thursday.
The court will decide on the validity of the law passed by the Islamist-led parliament that sought to bar Ahmed Shafiq, former president Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, from the vote pitting him against the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, Mohamed Morsi.
It will also rule on whether parliament is unconstitutional; a lower court found that some provisionsof the electoral law, allowing political parties to compete with independent candidates for some seats, might have violated the constitution.
Live Box 20111120475439857
A judicial body has already recommended that both laws be overturned, allowing Shafiq to continue his bid and possibly dissolving the parliament.
The court is not bound to follow that advice, but it is a likely indication of the ruling.
Seeking to derail presidential bids by senior Mubarak-era officials, parliament approved the law on April 12 to strip political rights from anyone who served in top government or ruling party posts in the last decade of Mubarak's rule.
That law initially prompted the election committee to disqualify Shafiq. But he was let back into the race on appeal and pending the constitutional court ruling.
Legal experts say they expect Shafiq will

Earlier, from July 5, 1968, while Ray was incarcerated in London, England, until November 11, 1968, he had been represented by defendant Hanes, a member of the Alabama bar. On July 8, 1968, Hanes, Ray, and defendant Huie, a professional writer and resident of Alabama, entered into an agreement under which Huie undertook to prepare a book and other literary material concerning Ray and the King murder with the assistance and cooperation of Ray and Hanes. Huie was given exclusive rights to this material, in return for which Huie agreed to pay Ray and Hanes each 30 percent of hisagreement in excess of $165,000.00.

On July 18, 1969, several months after Ray's conviction, he brought this action in the United States District Court. The apparent1 gravamen of Ray's case is that Hanes, Huie, and Foreman used their positions of trust to impose these contracts on Ray against his will, placed their own financial interests in the contracts ahead of Ray's interests as a defendant, and conspired to violate his right to a fair trial, in violation of the duty imposed on attorneys by Tennessee law, and in contravention of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 1985. The relief sought is primarily injunctive and equitable: Ray asks for preliminary and permanent injunctions barring defendants 'from further exposure of the alleged facts surrounding the slaying of Martin Luther

FILM PRESERVATION AND ARCHIVINGE-Film. Bill Feightner, the executive vice president and chief technology officer at E-Film, designed and developed the E-Film process. When preserving film, the colors of the film would break down over time. This made trying to keep a film perfectly intact very difficult. With E-Film, each negative is separated digitally into four different negatives: black and white, yellow, cyan (blue), and magenta (red).
Using E-Film, these digital negatives and additional information about the colored digital negatives could be recombined at a later date to produce the same vibrant colors they had during the very first time the movieNaples, Italy, for the permission to access and sample the collections of the Botanical Garden of the University of Naples.

Other big questions I have center around the fact that this piece was formed by four women of color and one white woman, which makes me want to examine race, whiteness and classical music. What is my role in this as a white woman, as there are some cultural markers in the text that relate to black culture? What does it mean that I sing this piece, that was written for Jessye, who grew up in the south in the 1940s and 50s and was one of the first super famous black opera singers, who experiences all from blatant racism to microaggressions to exotification toblazing light and shadows trimmed in gold

Photo Coverage: On Stage with THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in Manila
Manila, Philippines, August 29, 2012 — Broadway’s longest-running mega musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera,” which came on the heels of the international touring productions of “Cats” and “Mamma Mia!” in Manila, finally made its Philippine premiere on Saturday, August 25 at the main theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Nearly 100 tons of set pieces and props; more than 700 stage lighting equipment and accessories; and around 230 Victorian style costumes by the late production designer Maria Björnson were shipped from South Africa, where the international touring cast last performed. Seasoned South African actors Jonathan Roxmouth (Phantom) and Anthony Downing (Raoul), and Australian soprano Claire Lyon (Christine) headlinephotographer Jory Rivera was there, and captured snippets of performances by Roxmouth and Lyon, singing the final part of the title song, plus performances by Lyon, Downing, and the rest of the ensemble, singing and dancing to Act Two’s opening musical number, “Masquerade.”

City Engr. A, is the city engineer and the Chairman of the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) of the City of Kawawa. In 2009, the City of Kawawa, through an ordinance, allotted the amount of P100 million for the construction of a road leading to the poblacion. City Engr. A instead, diverted the construction of the road leading to his farm. Investigation further showed that he accepted money in the amount of P10 million each from three (3) contending bidders, who eventually lost in the bidding.
Audit report likewise showed that service vehicles valued at P2 million could not be accounted for although reports showed that these were lent to City Engr. A’s authorized drivers but the same were never returned. Further, there were funds under City Engr. A’sclosed for a number of years. After being satisfied that we had not entered Russia illegally (which was their initial belief), they apologised for the inconvenience, offered us food and fuel and then escorted us 150km to the closest functioning border crossing. Fortunately a young Capitan at the Barracks spoke good english and was able to clarify the situation. What started out to be a rather tense situation, turned into a afternoon filled with laughter and tales!
Upon arriving to the border (looked like Bolivia with all the chaos) we were taken to the front of the line, which was about 2 kilometres long. Out of nowhere a Kazakhstan couple offered to help us with the border crossing process. Once legally inside Kazakhstan, Marat and Marina (the couple) kindly

Thank you so much Marat and Marina for welcoming us to your country and to the Russian soldiers who finally got us there.
LENIGRAD (SAINT PETERSBURG)
Starved by Hitler, Terrorized by Stalin and Immortalized by Shostakovich
The German siege ( also knowns as the blockade) of Leningrad lasted 900 days from September, 1941 to January, 1944. During that time 800,000 people, nearly a third of the population at the siege’s beginning, starved to death.
22 September 1941 : Hitler directs that “Leningrad must be erased from the face of the Earth”.
8 November 1941:end of a neglected road, there is a village called Lip Hook. For its inhabitants, the village is more than the end of the road—it’s the end of the world. Beyond it, there is nothing but mist-shrouded marshland. Few travelers take the road to Lip Hook, but one foggy night, a car speeds perilously toward the village. The driver is a dangerously beautiful woman, the passenger a man with a gunshot wound and a suitcase containing a treasure he has risked his life for. Cash-strapped but in need of a place to hide, the two fugitives seek shelter at the Hanged Man Inn, where the woman persuades the innkeeper to accept payment in kind. As days pass and the woman extends her services to more of Lip Hook’s

SAIZA, Colombia (Reuters) - Around 300 fighters from Colombia's Marxist FARC rebels will not demobilize under a peace deal, a military commander said, giving the first official figure of guerrillas who may join with crime gangs seek...

candidate must demonstrate and show these various attributes to be granted a permit to conceal a loaded weapon: Must have a valid reason for carrying a concealed firearm, is not prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm, has written approval from the chief of police and sheriff of the applicant's county, and must satisfactorily complete the bureau's application. The application includes a background check and a criminal records check.
Pending approval, the applicant must successfully complete a background investigation as well as an open book test on firearm safety. Also included in this test, is a competency exam on loading and unloading a weapon, use of safety devices, and basic functions of the weapon. Unlike most states this application revolves heavily around background checks and firearm safety. Thenudity. Even Phoolan Devi tried to stop the
release of the movie! However, the movie was released and it also got a lot of
attention and acclaim at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
3. Satyam
Shivam Sundaram:
This was a movie that was bold right from the beginning- the content of the
movie was really erotic. Of course, Zeenat Aman’s costumes throughout the movie
also caused a lot of controversy, as did the much hyped sex scene between
Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat.
4.Aandhi: Aandhi was controversial for
a completely different reason. It was a movie released, during the Emergency
years, about a woman politician who resembled Indira Gandhi a little too much!
The movie was banned in 1975, by Indira Gandhi. But the Janata party released
the movie is 1977 when they came to power.

Mumbai blasts. The controversy surrounding this
movie was so high that the theatrical release of the movie was stalled for two
years- for that is how long the trial ran. But the movie was eventually
released and it went on to become one of the most acclaimed movies in India.
6.Chetna: When Chetna was released in
1970, it paid a tribute to a prostitute
with no tragic back story. This movie was shunned by the audience and the
critic- it was shunned so bad that the actress who played the lead was never
able to improve her tarnished image!
7.Ek
Choti Si Love Story:
This movie talks about that eternally shunned topic- the desire of an
adolescent boy for an older woman. The controversy, however, became huge only
when the lead of the movie, Manisha Koirala rejected the intimate scenes (shot
bya body double). The actress even took to contacting the National Commission
of Women and the Mumbai High court to try stopping the release of the movie.
8.Sins: This was a Vinod Pande movie,
based on the topic of con men who pretend to be men of God. It portrayed a
Catholic priest in a sexual relationship with a woman, which made the Christian
community really angry. It was banned because of the portrayal of Christianity
and also because of the explicit scenes involved.
9.Kissa
Kursi Ka:
Another political satire aimed at the Gandhi family again. However, this movie
was aimed at Sanjay Gandhi, the man behind the Maruti Car Project. This movie did
hit a hard note and it became quite popular once the emergency was lifted and
Sanjay Gandhi was interrogated and jailed for a month.

Wormwood is a new font based on fanciful lettering from the Art Nouveau period. Someone suggested that it looked like something you would draw while taking Absinthe, hence the name Wormwood. It bears some similarity to lettering styles which were popular for posters during the psychedelic period of the 1960s.
Wormwood includes a full upper case character set plus numbers and punctuation. Plus the upper and lower case versions of the letter set are distinguished by the addition of unusual accent dots, suggestive of an orientalist origin for the lettering style.to perform the work. Plaintiff Robinson worked for Spaw.
The repair involved excavating approximately eight to ten feet down to the sewer *875 line, breaking the pipe, and flushing the line with a power jetter. Much of the excavation was accomplished with a back hoe operated by Spaw, but Robinson and another laborer also assisted with shovels. While Robinson was in the trench attempting to locate the pipe, a large clod of dirt rolled off the unshored wall of the excavation, injuring him.
Robinson sued his employer, Spaw, for gross negligence. He also brought this action against Poured Walls, claiming (1) the contractor owed him a duty under Restatement (Second) of Torts section 343 (1965) to provide a safe work place, and (2) the excavation constituted a peculiarly dangerous risk

First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Mobile, Alabama. Coley expressed interest in the building, and the parties began negotiations for a sale. During the negotiations Blackstone Realty insisted upon separate consideration for the leasehold and the improvements. After several proposals and counter-proposals, Blackstone Realty accepted the bank's conditional offer of March 15, 1960, which provided in part:
7
$100,000 cash to be allocated to the cost of fixtures, equipment, air-conditioning, elevator, etc., installed by Blackstone Realty Company, Inc., in the building; $1,000 per month for a period of twenty years, or a total of 240 months, the first payment to be due and payable thirty days from the closing of the transaction.
8
This deal was never consummated because the bank was unable to reach agreement with thelessor to extend the lease to ninety-nine years, a necessary condition of the offer.
9
On July 1, 1960, the lessor reconsidered and agreed to the extension. The bank and the taxpayer then executed a new 'lease and agreement' whereby Blackstone Realty assigned all of its rights in the Greystone Building to First Federal. The consideration was the same in amount and terms of payment as contained in the bank's offer of March 15, 1960: $340,000 total, $100,000 in cash and $1,000 per month for 240 months. No specific reference, however, was made to the distinct separation of monies allocated for payment of the leasehold and the improvements.3

First Federal paid Blackstone Realty $100,000 in cash in Blackstone's taxable year ending May 31, 1961, and during such year

The briefs also refer to the structure as the Meaher Building, after Augustine Meaher, whose estate held title to it

The new lease covered a ten-year term with four ten-year options to renew. The improvements included a new elevator, new electrical wiring, plastering, and redecorating. The redecorating entailed the installation of wood paneling and some light fixtures

The lease of July 1, 1960, made no reference to the offer of March 15, 1960. It provided in pertinent part as follows:
Whereas, the Party of the First Part has made certain improvements on the said leased property and owns certain fixtures and equipment situated thereon and used in connection therewith; and
Whereas, Party of the Second Part desires to acquire all ofthe rights and interests of the Party of the First Part in and to said property under said lease, and all rights and privileges granted to the Party of the First Part under the provisions of said lease, and desires to acquire the fixtures and equipment owned by the Party of the First Part in connection therewith as aforesaid;
Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in cash, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of the payment by the Party of the Second Part to the Party of the First Part of the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month for a total of two hundred and forty consecutive months, beginning on the 1st

which the Fianna Fáil Party put forward in very explicit terms, the items of the programme which, if elected in a majority, they would endeavour to put into operation.
The first statement there is that the Fianna Fáil Party had put forward a programme in very explicit terms; and the man who formulated that policy gave us a quotation showing what were the explicit terms. The next sentence in his speech is:—
The first item on that programme was as follows:—"To remove the Article of the Constitution which makes the signing of the Oath of Allegiance obligatory on members entering the Dáil." The following note was added:—"This Article is not required by the Treaty. It stands in the way of national unity and of willing obedience to law. Government bycoercion is the result."
And then the person who formulated that policy, and stated that it had been expressed in very explicit terms, gave us, presumably, the terms in which that policy had been formulated. He went on to say:—
This Bill, the Second Reading of which I am proposing to the House, is intended to give effect to that first item on the programme.
And then he continued, and it is worth while nothing what the continuation was:—
The programme as a whole might be divided roughly into two parts, the part which had relation to international matters, the external relations of the State, and the part that had reference directly to domestic matters. In order that there might not be in the minds of the electors any misunderstanding as to

to interfere with the Oath in any way whatever. I prefer to abide by the plain meaning of Article 4 of the Treaty, the non-mandatory character of which has not yet been argued, the mandatory character of which has not been controverted in any way. I prefer to abide by the pledges given by the setting of the signatures to that Treaty, by approval of that Treaty by the Dáil which considered it, and by the passing of the legislation which afterwards took place in accordance with Article 18. I moved, as the second best thing, in doing that, that we would keep in the Constitution the exact formula in the Treaty and that was defeated. I now move forward to the third best thing—that if there isPresident's speech. The President admitted that for the removal of the Oath—for which he did seek a mandate from the people—that this clause, to the extent in which it now stands in the Bill, was not necessary, and that it was for another reason altogether he was asking the House to reject this amendment. The amendment proposed by Deputy McGilligan would have kept this Bill within the four walls of the mandate that the President said he sought and got from the people, but the President would not accept it. Why? There is no good in Deputies on the opposite benches or Deputies in any part of the House shutting their eyes to this: that the reason is because the President wants to go beyond that mandate.

again that the Provisional Parliament which framed this Constitution was constituted under the terms of the Provisional Act. The first section of the Provisional Act gives the force of law to the Treaty. The fact that it gave the force of law to the Treaty is repeated in various places. It is repeated in an agreement which we will consider on Deputy Finlay's amendment. The very position that was necessary to have this Constitution framed depended upon the force of law being given to these Articles. These words "in so far as necessary to give the force of law," to my mind, are mere surplusage. The force of law is not being taken away by anything we are doing here so far as the force of law isor by the Attorney-General. I suggest that neither on the Committee Stage nor on this, the Report Stage of the Bill, has the President or the Attorney-General put up any argument controverting the proposition; that Section 2 was in the first instance enacted by the Parliament of this country ratifying the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty of 1921; that, secondly, it gave to the Treaty the force of law here; and, thirdly, and perhaps most important of all, that it set for the country and for the Oireachtas a headline which was this: that it was a declaration on the part of the Oireachtas that in legislation we would not attempt to break or violate the Treaty entered into between this country and Great Britain on 6th

1921.
If the President will look at Section 40 of the Finance Act of 1926, passed by the Oireachtas, he will see that this House in that section recognised there was a doubt that this country would be bound by the British Finance Act of 1922, which was passed prior to the transfer of the functions of the Revenue Department to this Government. There was a declaration by the Oireachtas of this country's international status subsequent to the 6th December, 1921, and the President, in order to support his argument in respect of Section 2, falls back on a line of argument which, if it were accepted by the people, might have great reactions on them in the future with regard to our Treaty rights. That argument is toattention to the view of the legal adviser of the Government than to the legal view purported to be expressed by the President.
I ask the Attorney-General if he has read the opinions of our own courts as to whether the Treaty was fully effective from the 6th December, 1921; if he has read the opinions expressed by our own judges that the British Parliament had no power to legislate for this country subsequent to the date of the Treaty, viz., the 6th December, 1921, and whether he is prepared to state to this House that he disregards the opinions of the judges expressed in the Supreme Court of this country that the Treaty took effect from the 6th December, 1921? If he is prepared to state that he

part of the municipal law of the country. I have said in my remarks on Deputy McGilligan's amendment that it is perfectly clear, to my mind, that the Act which gave legislative force to the Treaty, including Article 10, and which constituted it part of the municipal law, was Section 2 of the Constitution Act, 1922. The alternative suggestion made by the Attorney-General, and made also by the President of the Executive Council, was that legislative effect was given to the Treaty, including Article 10, by the Statute of the British Parliament, styled the Irish Free State Agreement Act of 1922. To advance that view to the Dáil the Attorney-General has to disregard the expressed views of the Supreme Court in this country. He has to disregard theviews expressed by Judges of that Court and he has further to disregard what I suggest is the ordinary rule of interpretation, that you must read the Irish Free State Agreement Act of 1922 in conjunction with Articles 17 and 18 of the Treaty, that that Act constituted ratification by Britain of the Treaty on her part and gave her power to make the Provisional Orders stated in Article 17 of the Treaty, to transfer to the Provisional Government, which was in force in this country in the early part of 1922, the necessary machinery to enable it to carry on Government. It is true that an additional Act was passed in the year 1929 called The Civil Service (Transferred Officers) Act, which was to give effect to

Agreement Act, 1922. This supplementary Treaty was executed both by England and by this country, and the title of it under their hand says: "Agreement interpreting and supplementing Article 10 of the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland to which the force of law was given by the Irish Free State (Agreement) Act of 1922." If England were taking up the position that that was what gave the force of law to this, it was unnecessary under their own hands to add the following words: "And by the Constitution of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Eireann) Act, 1922."
The very title of that agreement, executed by the representatives of the two countries, to my mind, shows clearly that certain legal advisers of both countriesat that time, and the countries themselves, accepted that the ratification of the Treaty, so far as England was concerned, was effected by the Irish Free State Agreement Act of 1922, and so far as this country was concerned by the Constitution Act of 1922. Such ratification forms the basis of that agreement, and it is recited that Article 10 of the Treaty has the force of law here by virtue of the Constitution Act, 1922. By virtue of that agreement certain statutory provisions were enacted to enable cases under Article 10 to be brought before a special tribunal. But legal sanction for their being brought before any tribunal, or being enforced in any way, comes entirely from Article 10 of the Treaty having the effect of law,

production and completion are more precise and effective. High quality data and conscientious data management enables the prognosis of potential problems and failures so the whole process (the whole rig or oilfield lifetime) can be adapted and configured in order to prevent possible consequences in regard to human safety, environmental preservation, and infrastructural integrity. Acquisition of geotechnical and petrophysical data is costly, but necessary. Data of dubious quality cannot yield reliably good decisions. The poorer the quality of data, the higher risk associated with decisions based upon them. The less knowledge there is about the quality of recorded and collected data, the higher is the uncertainty of said decisions and can lead to false interpretations and evaluations. A good evaluation is only possible with good quality data soand has knowledge of every step of the operation in intimate detail. They are called wireline log witnesses and are either individual consultants or part of the wireline QA/QC consulting firms. Their objective is to keep track of the wireline performance of logging provider, their efficiency and procedures. Some of the notable wireline QA/QC consulting firms are QO Inc., Gaia Earth Sciences Limited, OGEC, one & zero and STAG. Complexity of the modern wireline and LWD logs, with several pages of logging job parameters and calibrations, makes this duty very demanding and even specialized training courses for log witnesses are available (for example Petroknowledge and Opus Kinetic).

Obama's mosque moment irks Dems
A week after President Barack Obama decided to publicly back the lower Manhattan mosque, his words are still reverberating, offering insight into his brand of pragmatic idealism and posing a gap between Obama and other top Democrats.
Obama’s support of the Park51 community center, less than three months before a bitterly contested midterm election, would have sparked a huge Republican backlash in any event. But the impact of the decision on Democrats, with many frantically distancing themselves from Obama, has given the story real resonance and the longest of news-cycle legs.
Story Continued Below
The president’s decision — made with the support of senior advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, his two closest friends in the West Wing — reflected Obama’s forcefulness on issues closest to hisbe of importance even in Hell? In life, I had found it to be one of the profoundest sources of anxiety.
Well, I supposed I needed to find me a job. Again, though I had violently rebelled against the concept, the torture plants came immediately to mind. This was why bakeries and food markets and such amenities were tolerated. Because one must suffer, and cause suffering to others, to easily afford these things.
Yes, I had some clothing to trade...but my current clothing was by now ripped, bloody, filthy from ash and sweat, not to mention having been a source of some amusement to that one man back on the plain of heads outside Caldera, since it was the uniform of Avernus University, marking me as a novice.
