of whether Birdseye's rail system is feasible, the storage shed is temporary in name only. It is movable, if at all, only by a complex procedure lasting at least two hours and requiring various materials which may well not be readily available.
32. When he discovered the storage shed within the easement, Clark went to the Moravek's residence and informed Vernetta Moravek that the shed would have to be moved. Vernetta Moravek told Clark that she would have to talk it over with her husband.
33. The Moraveks informed Birdseye of the problem. Birdseye contacted Clark and indicated that the Moraveks were willing to move the shed, but said that they were waiting until the weather was drier and the ground harder.

While Americans were doing their Thanksgiving thing and the citizens of the rest of the world did whatever it is that they do on any given day, India was rocked by what may end up being their 9/11. At least 138 are dead, with sources putting the death toll as high as 172 as of Monday morning, and hundreds more have been injured in a series coordinated attacks on locations across Mumbai, the world’s most-populous city. The attackers have been called terrorists

Kasav claims that the various attacks around Mumbai were in fact related, and that the goal of the attacks was to replicate other international terror acts, including the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the infamous bombings in Islamabad, Pakistan and Jakarta, Indonesia. The casualties of the attacks include citizens of at least 16 countries other than India, including America, Australia, Canada, Germany, Australia, China, Israel, Japan, and Mexico. Kasav claims that foreigners, particularly Jews, were targeted in the attacks. Mumbai is the world’s most populous city and fifth-largest metropolitan area, with a population of over 13 million within the city limits and over 19 million in the total metropolitan area. The city has experienced at least six other terrorist attacks since 2002.Free trade zone is focus of advisers
BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Providing advice on the development of the recently opened Shanghai free trade zone will be a focus of the city’s political advisory body in the coming year, deputies heard yesterday.
Innovation in government management also featured among tasks highlighted at the Second Plenary Session of the 12th Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which opened at the Expo Center.
The 29-square-kilometer free trade zone was launched in late September as a test bed for China’s leadership’s drive to deepen market-oriented reforms.
Chairman of the standing committee of the 12th CPPCC Shanghai Committee Wu Zhiming told delegates that they have a vital role to play in the city.
“Shanghai is at a key stage of reform and overcoming difficulties.

collocation arrangement. Id. at 17823, ¶ 30. Indeed, even in the case of physical collocation in which the CLEC ultimately has physical access to the collocation space to install, maintain, and repair its equipment, the FCC requires the ILEC to "finish construction in accordance with the requesting carrier's application" before "turn[ing] functional space over to the requesting [CLEC]." Id. at 17812, 17823, ¶ 9, 30. Once the space is turned over to the CLEC in a physical collocation arrangement, responsibility then passes to the ILEC to "install, maintain, and repair its equipment".[6]Id. at 17812, ¶ 9.

Recent developments in population theory have made possible a re-examination of demographic evidence from West Africa which suggests that population growth and migration are primarily responses to changes in the nature of the production system. Precolonial, colonial, and independence period data provide a series of correlations consistent with the approach and suggest a possible new synthesis of the West African data. The poorest countries of West Africa are those bordering on the Sahara Desert, known as the "Sahel" region. In response to the drought and famine in that region from 1968-1974, numerous proposals have been made for increased attention to reducing population growth. The analysis presented in this paper leads to the conclusion that population policies other

Burgundy wine prices may have to rise due to violent hailstorms hitting the region's vineyards for a second year running, and leaving producers seeking government aid.
Some vineyards, and particularly those in the north of the Cote de Beaune, have lost close to their entire crop to hail. Pommard and Volnay were among the worst affected by the downpours in late July and August, leaving morale at rock bottom.
While the region’s wine trade body, the BIVB, has cautioned that hail has only affected 4.5% of Burgundy’s wine growing area. In September, it forecast the 2013 harvest would be up to 10% lower than the region’s ten-year average.
Following a small grape haul in 2012, Burgundy supplies could be squeezed. ‘There is a big pressure,’ Caroline Parent-Gros, of Domaine AF Gros.

Marcos Alonso joined Chelsea from Fiorentina on transfer deadline day
Chelsea's £24m deal for former Bolton and Sunderland defender Marcos Alonso received a mixed reception, but there is logic behind the transfer. Nick Wright profiles the Spanish defender and explains why he could be a good fit for Antonio Conte's side.
Transfer deadline day saw contrasting signings at Chelsea. On the one hand there was the blockbuster return of David Luiz, a larger-than-life character back in west London after two years away, and on the other there was Marcos Alonso, an uncapped Spanish defender best known in England for spells at Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland.
Alonso's arrival from Fiorentina was predictably overshadowed in the media frenzy surrounding Luiz, but it is no less important. The left-back spot has been an issuefor the Blues ever since Ashley Cole's decline and departure in 2014, with Cesar Azpilicueta forced to move across from right-back as specialist signings Filipe Luis and Baba Rahman failed to meet expectations.
Conte will be hoping the latest pretender can buck the trend, but the jury is out among supporters. Alonso comes from an illustrious footballing family, rose through the youth ranks at Real Madrid and has spent the last two seasons competing near the top of Serie A with Fiorentina, but eyes are more easily drawn to the less glamorous entries on his CV.
Alonso spent three seasons at Bolton between 2010 and 2013
Alonso suffered relegation to the Championship during his three-year stint at the Macron Stadium between 2010 and 2013, and he landed in another relegation battle

All the way back in 2015, we reported the news that director Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube) had signed on to helm an adaptation of Stephen King and Joe Hill's remarkably disturbing novella, In The Tall Grass. At the time, the film was allegedly being prepped for pre-sale at that year's Cannes Film Festival.
This was an exciting development - King and Hill's brutal piece of short fiction, brought to life by a guy who definitely knows a thing or two about disturbing horror! We celebrated this news...and then promptly didn't hear anything else about it again until (checks watch) just now, which just so happens to be three years ago to the day since we first published that report.
Anyway, here's the news on In The Tall Grass, via Deadline:
"Despiteits absence from the official film program here at the Cannes Film Festival, Netflix continues to move forward in its feature slate building. A deal has closed for In The Tall Grass, a novella written by Stephen King and his son and fellow bestselling horror author Joe Hill. Westworld‘s James Marsden is in negotiations to star, and Vincenzo Natali is adapting to direct."
For those of you who remain unfamiliar with this one, here's a logline:
"After hearing a young boy’s cry for help, a sister and brother venture into a vast field of grass in Kansas but soon discover that there may be no way out."
Not a word of that logline is inaccurate, but hoo boy, are they leaving a lot out; In The Tall Grass takes some wild

My first encounter with "Star Wars" was a doozie.
It was a Friday morning in early June 1977, and I was running late as usual. There was still work to be done on the Sunday arts section of the paper, which was my responsibility, and a plane to catch to the best coast for a late-afternoon screening of some idiotic movie or other to satisfy one of my other hats at the paper, as the film reviewer.
In that era, movie studios routinely picked up the tab for critics on junkets, just tacking the expenses onto the cost of making and marketing the picture.

Camelone of the countries most influenced by climate change and has unique national population conditions. The influence of extreme precipitation depends on the degree of exposure and vulnerability of the population. Accurate assessments of the population exposed to rising rainstorm trends are crucial to mapping extreme precipitation risks. Studying the population exposed to rainstorm hazard areas (RSHA) at the microscale is extremely urgent, due to the local characteristics of extreme precipitation events and regional diversity of the population. The spatial distribution of population density was mapped based on the national population census data from China in 1990, 2000 and 2010. RSHA were also identified using precipitation data from 1975–2015 in China, and the rainstorm tendency values were mapped using GIS in this paper. The spatial characteristics of the

management, but there are few studies on this topic in China. The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction, and to further examine whether psychological capital (PsyCap) can serve as a mediator between stress and job satisfaction in Chinese township cadres. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out during the period of from October 2015 to January 2016 in Liaoning Province of China. The questionnaires, which consisted of an effort-reward imbalance scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) for job satisfaction, and the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ-24), as well as questions about demographic characteristics, were distributed to 1800 township cadres and complete responses were received from 1525 participants. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the role that psychological capital played inhigh rate. The rapid expansion of the middle-income urban class and the ageing people ratio have dramatically pushed up the demand for healthcare goods, particularly in terms of pharmaceutical products. Since the early 1990s the government has addressed the necessities of rising demand for healthcare products by formulating a series of policies aimed at promoting the development of the pharmaceutical industry. However, the implementation of such policies does not seem to have been completely efficient given that the country still needs to import up to 90% of its pharmaceutical consumption. This paper aims to explore the development of the pharmaceutical industry during the years 1990–2015 and to identify a series of weaknesses in the government promotion of the industry. Future developments will also be discussed on how the

Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP), an innovative intervention aimed at modifying the environment and coaching youth/parents, was found to be effective in improving youth participation in chosen community activities. In order to complement existing quantitative evidence, this study examined parents’ perspectives on the PREP approach. Twelve parents of youth with physical disabilities (12 to 18 years old) who received the PREP approach participated in individual semi-structured interviews following the 12-week intervention delivered by an occupational therapist. Thematic analysis revealed three inter-linked themes, the first of which was informative, describing the “nature of intervention”,in children are associated with FMS regardless of whether the Passport for Life or the PLAYbasic was used as the assessment tool. It is worth investigating if interventions that improve FMS lead to improvements in these health indicators.

facing MSWM issues. In-depth interviews with individuals and focus groups were conducted with key informants including the municipality staff, residents, and external organizations. The major influences affecting waste management were categorized into six areas: social-cultural, technical, financial, organizational, and legal-political barriers and population growth. SWOT analysis shows both internal and external factors are playing a role in MSWM: There is good policy and a reasonably sufficient budget. However, there is insufficient infrastructure, weak strategic planning, registration, staff capacity, information systems, engagement with programs; and unorganized waste management and fee collection systems. The location of flood prone areas has impacted on location and operation of landfill sites. There is also poor communication between the municipality and residents and a lack of participation in waste separation programs. However, external supportthey were touching patients, but their supervisors checked the five instances for HH only in the case of 27 respondents (27%). Students experienced any control of HH in the workplace less often. Interns and physicians mentioned that the most important preventive action in HAI is HH, but for students it is the use of gloves. Conclusions: The level of knowledge and skills of physicians and students in the field of HH is insufficient. Deficiencies in skills and knowledge of HH were identified as early as at the level of the first internship.

This study was focused on investigating the association between familial and parenting predictors and alcohol use in school-aged children.

Disaster Governance was found to be highly influenced by decisions taken during regional, urban, and emergency planning. Governance is better in towns of higher order in the communal hierarchical structure. Most of the emergency institutions were found to be located in central and urban areas, which, in turn, assures more redundancy, overlap, and diversity in governance in the event of a tsunami. Lack of flexibility of emergency plans also limits governance in rural and indigenous areas. While the spatial relationships found in this study indicate that urban sectors have better Disaster Governance than rural and indigenous sectors, the influence of resource availability after tsunamis, the role and responsibility of different levels of governments, and the politics of disaster also play an important role in Disaster Governance

Most mortality maps in South Africa and most contried of the sub-Saharan region are static, showing aggregated count data over years or at specific years. Lack of space and temporral dynamanics in these maps may adversely impact on their use and application for vigorous public health policy decisions and interventions. This study aims at describing and modeling sub-national distributions of age–gender specific all-cause mortality and their temporal evolutions from 1997 to 2013 in South Africa. Mortality information that included year, age, gender, and municipality administrative division were obtained from Statistics South Africa for the period. Individual mortality level data were grouped by three ages groups (0–14, 15–64, and 65 and over) and gender (male, female) and aggregatedair pollution on the health of residents, which is a topical issue in China.

Background: Air pollution has become an important factor restricting China’s economic development and has subsequently brought a series of social problems, including the impact of air pollution on the health of residents, which is a topical issue in China. Methods: Taking into account this spatial imbalance, the paper is based on the spatial panel data model PM2.5. Respiratory disease mortality in 31 Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2008 is taken as the main variable to study the spatial effect and impact of air quality and respiratory disease mortality on a large scale. Results: It was found that there is a spatial correlation between the mortality of respiratory diseases in Chinese provinces. The spatial

or that caused one Bavarian Catholic priest to throw himself on the road in front of the cars of an itinerant anti-Strauss theater troupe to prevent its procession. But there is respect for the conservative standard- bearer, and a liely interest in this first- class showman. An there is delight in the barbs Strauss throws effectively at the few hecklers in the crowd.
Strauss has notes, but he hardly glances at them. He knows what he wants to say. He is for two principles: mean fredom of workplaces, freedom for consumers , free enterprise and free management decision, and freedom of private property. It's shameful, he says, how many German enterprises have lost faith in the future because of socialism at home and the Soviet shadow in Europe andare investing abroad rather than at home.
Unlike Chancellor Schmidt, Strauss continues, he has no "Moscow faction" in his party that forces him to "decouple" from the US. As chancellor he, Strauss, would travel first not to Moscow or to Danzig, but to Washington. In his unbroken service in the Bundestag in the entire postwar period (until he retired from parliament to become minister- president of Bavaria two years ago) he voted for all those things Schmidt's Social Democratic Party (SPD) voted against, including a West German Army and alliance with the West.
Look at the record, Strauss insists. In 1969 the conservatives said the SPD wanted to recognize East Germany and the Oder-Neisse line as the eastern border of Germany. The SPD called this a pure lie. But as

Bruce could not tell us what was happening and we began to get very worried as the climbing was only supposed to be VS and Bruce is a bold leader but after 15 minutes of occasional jerky movements the rope ran out more quickly and shortly three tugs indicated he was safe and ready.
It had been a good lead. There had been no worthwhile protection and once again a leader fall was out of the question. Even following the pitch was a nightmare. The holds went straight up but the rope from Bruce pulled me up and right while the rope to John, blown into a tight arc pulled me down and right.

Why 'Footless Crow' ?
Footless Crow is a seminal rock climb in the Lake District of Northern England. It was the creation of legendary British climber Pete Livesey-1943-1998. Livesey was one of the new breed of climbers who eschewed the traditional laid back, fags and booze, ethic prevalent at the time and instead pursued a rigid training regime designed to increase his physical and mental attributes to the extent that he could push British climbing to new technical standards. In effect he was one of the first UK rock athletes.Footless Crow was a breakthrough climb which at the time was the hardest climb in the Lakes at E5-6c (US 5-13a). Currently E6-6c due to a flake peeling off.First climbed as an

The Future of International Cyber Attacks
In the tech world, "hackers" are variously freedom fighters, poorly behaved geniuses, truth tellers, underground rock stars, and dangerous criminals where the objective is denial of service, identity theft, or exposure of private, even classified, data to the public.
In the world of cyber warfare, the objectives are much bigger: full scale attack on the GPS system that millions of civilians and military personelle rely on, destroying the digital backbone of the national power grid, invading and destroying the electronic systems of transferring money to shut down the economy, disabling a city transportation system to turn the roads into gridlocked chaos to make way for perhaps an even more devastating conventional attack. The list goes on.

next level. The CHL will continue to be the world’s largest development league and the number one supplier of talent to the National Hockey League and Canadian Interuniversity Sport.”
The decision was made by the CHL Board of Directors at their meeting in May.
The 2013 CHL Import Draft takes place on Wednesday July 3 with the Vancouver Giants currently holding the first overall pick. The two-round draft will take place online with the order of selection rotating through each of the CHL’s three leagues using an inverse order of final regular season standings from the 2012-13 season. Each team in the CHL is permitted to carry two European import players each season who are selected annually through the CHL Import Draft.Q:
Were there hints before the first Doctor's regeneration that timelords could regenerate?
Was the ability of timelords to regenerate mentioned in any episodes before the first Doctor became the second Doctor?
Or was regeneration presented as a surprise to the audience when it happened the first time? Or even an post-hoc explanation of why Patrick Troughton replaced Willieam Hartnell as an actor.
A:
The use of the word regeneration to describe the transition of The Doctor or other Timelords from one form to another as a means of renewal after taking an otherwise mortal wound didn't take place until the 1974 serial Planet of the Spiders, which introduced Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor.
The concept of regeneration is only introduced in the final serial of the First Doctor, The Tenth Planet,

when a regeneration was actually recorded and broadcast at the end of the final episode.
A:
Was the ability of timelords to regenerate mentioned in any episodes before the first Doctor became the second Doctor?
No. Regeneration was a completely unknown concept to viewers when the first regeneration took place in the final serial of the First Doctor.
Most of the concepts we now accept as canon were added very slowly over the show's long run. The Doctor was meant to be a mysterious character, and the audience did not really know who he was - hence the title of the show. Little was said about The Doctor's species or home planet, and there was no mention of the Timelords until the final serial of the Second Doctor!
The concept of regeneration(although it was not initially called that) was conceived out of necessity. The show was a huge hit and the BBC wanted it to continue, but William Hartnell had shown signs of failing health, and the idea of him changing his face was thought up so that they could bring another actor in. Patrick Troughton apparently made a conscious decision to only stay in the part for 3 years (advice he supposedly passed on to later leading actors on Doctor Who) and so regeneration came to be a feature of the show. The first use of the term "regeneration" was in the Third Doctor's final serial, as he regenerated into the Fourth Doctor.

Schweitzer had laughed his ass off. Chang had even managed to crack a smile out of Ahmad's normally iron visage. She'd gone to talk to the skipper, and that was the last they heard of the matter. The corpsman stayed on the pier. As far as Schweitzer knew, Chang never talked to her again.

Ninip was paying attention now, his own reaction shifting between amusement and rising arousal. Whatever else might bore him about humanity, base lust was a thing he understood.

She turned back to Patrick, who was standing now, coming to her.
And suddenly the sensation returned with such force that she staggered.
She'd seen no body, there'd been no funeral, no article in the papers. The navy had shrouded the whole thing in secrecy, and now there was a can full of pig ashes on the kitchen counter of her rented, extended-stay suite.

Court nominee "prioritizes the Constitution's original meaning" and has "shown flashes of greatness."
It is clear Judge Kavanaugh will defend and uphold the Constitution and the rights of Floridians. Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson has no legitimate reason to oppose this respected jurist's confirmation.
However, if Nelson's previous record is any indication, he will oppose and obstruct Kavanaugh's confirmation. Nelson voted against Kavanaugh's circuit court appointment in 2006, which Kavanaugh won by a 21-vote margin with bipartisan support. Nelson also voted against the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch last year.
By February 2018, the Senate held roll call votes on 29 of President Trump's 69 judicial nominations. Nelson voted against nearly one third of them.
Soon after the announcement of Kavanaugh's nomination, Nelson tweeted a liberal litmus test for Judge Kavanaugh.Our Beliefs

Remembered: CES founder 'Analog Jack' Wayman
BY KIMBERLY PIERCEALL
Jan. 10, 2015
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The man who started the Consumer Electronics Show in 1967 was known affectionately as "Analog Jack" by family and friends.
Jack Wayman died in August at the age of 92. He loved a good gimmick (a phone on his bedside featured a statuette of Marilyn Monroe whose skirt would waft up when it rang) but wasn't the most tech-savvy by modern calculations, laughed son Jack Wayman Jr. as he waited in the audience before the event's opening keynote speech this week.
When the elder Wayman decided he needed an email address, he called Jack Jr. to set it up, then later phoned to ask if he had gotten any email yet.
It didn't stop him from enjoying thelatest and greatest gadgets, though. He liked small ultrahigh-definition televisions. He wasn't crazy about 3D. He would have been surprised to see as many car companies as there were at the show this year, 10 total, Wayman Jr. said.
The International CES in Las Vegas is now the largest trade show in the Americas, with more than 2 million square feet of exhibit space — the size of about 35 football fields. CES takes over the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Sands Expo and several nearby hotels. More than 160,000 people attended in 2014. The show opened to the public on Tuesday and closes Friday.
Hundreds of tech companies use the gadget show as a platform to unveil new products. Hot trends this year included Internet connectivity in everyday products

Editor’s note: Given the enormous controversy between President Obama and the US Catholic Bishops now underway, this article by R.T. Ravenholt, M.D., MPH, Former Director, Office of Population (1966-79) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), on the seizing of the control of the USAID population programme by the Catholic Bishops in the late 1970s is highly relevant to today’s discussion in the press. It was first published by Stephen D. Mumford, DrPH, founder and President of the North Carolina-based Center for Research on Population and Security.
Pronatalist Zealotry and Population Pressure Conflicts: How Catholics Seized Control of U.S. Family Planning Programs by R.T. Ravenholt, M.D., MPH, Former Director, Office of Population (1966-79) at the United States Agency for International Development chronicles his fourteen year effort toof State from 1966 to 1979. During this time it became the world’s foremost program in the field, providing more than half of all international population program assistance ($1.3 billion) in those years. In 1971 he originated the World Fertility Survey, the largest international social science research project ever undertaken. He has also researched extensively and published more than 140 scientific reports in the fields of epidemiology, preventive medicine, population and family planning, smoking and health.
R.T. Ravenholt was born in Wisconsin, received his Medical Doctorate from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Public Health degree from the University of California. After epidemiological positions with the Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta and the Seattle-King County Health Department, he was Epidemiological Consultant in Europe for the U.S. Public

the American Embassy in Paris. Whenever there was an important epidemic in Europe I could investigate it—smallpox epidemics in West Germany, Yorkshire, Wales and Stockholm; typhoid at Zermatt; thalidomide-induced malformations in many countries, and so forth. After two adventurous years, I returned to Seattle, as a full-time faculty member in preventive medicine at the University of Washington, focusing mainly upon the research and teaching of the epidemiology and prevention of cancer and tobaccosis.
Then I was offered the ultimate job of directing the development of a global population/family planning program for the U. S. Agency for International Development (AID). There are many epidemics in the world: tobaccosis, AIDS, and of course all the old infectious diseases, but I think this audience would agree that the global epidemic of peopleoutstanding pioneers in the global population/family planning field. I think particularly of General William H. Draper Jr., who was, in my estimation, the most remarkable activist in the 60’s and 70’s until his death at the age of 80 in 1974. Even in his seventies, no one could match Bill Draper’s tremendous pace and accomplishments. He was just an extraordinary person in raising and mobilizing private and government resources. And we thrived on the fruits of his labors.
Also, I enjoyed the special satisfaction of leading a band of most intensely motivated population warriors who often worked themselves to exhaustion in overcoming omnipresent bureaucratic inertia while implementing vitally needed population program actions.

political appointees selected by Jack Sullivan was Sander Levin, newly defeated Democratic candidate for governor of Michigan. Not a Catholic, but an opportunistic lawyer without family planning program experience, Levin immediately upon entry to AID proceeded to maul and discombobulate AID’s population program, as desired by his political superiors. He became the Assistant Administrator with direct responsibility for disorganizing and dispersing Office of Population personnel and for the removal of Ravenholt. This was accomplished after several years of wrangling before the Merit System Protection Board, when Ravenholt accepted transfer to the role of Director, World Health Surveys, Centers for Disease Control. Since then, AID’s dismembered and otherwise crippled family planning program has been sustained to the extent possible by dedicated staff and likewise dedicated Members of Congress andother supporters. It has continued many operations, though certainly not all, despite continued harassment from the Reagan-Bush administrations and anti-birth control zealots.
Carter’s political appointees took other actions to curb birth control initiatives and obstruct family planning programs. According to members of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Committee on Obstetrics, in 1978 after the FDA already had informed the Upjohn Company that its product, Depo-Provera, was “approvable”, it was HEW Secretary Joseph Califano who specifically directed that FDA disapprove Depo-Provera for marketing as a contraceptive—a disapproval that has endured until now despite overwhelming evidence that Depo-Provera is one of the safest and most effective of all contraceptives. It has been approved for marketing in more than 90 other countries, and has been safely used by more than 12

So there would be less resistance to them compared with RU486?
Ravenholt: Yes, Norplant doesn’t threaten the religious opposition the way RU486 does. They can foresee if RU486 becomes generally available in the United States, most women will have a few of these in their purse or in their medicine cabinet.
Remember what happened when the oral contraceptive appeared. Religious defenses were not greatly mobilized against the pill, and it was licensed for marketing in the United States in June, 1960. Women began using oral contraceptives very rapidly. Until oral contraceptives became available, there was a considerable difference in family planning/birth control activities by Protestants and Catholics in the United States.
But as soon as the pill was available, it could be taken quietly, by the woman herself. Soon Catholic womencountries. More than 12,000 population and family planning personnel, including program managers, surgeons, nurses and other paramedical personnel, specialists in information, education, and communication, demographers, economists, and sociologists have been trained in the United States in appropriate skills, including the most advanced techniques of fertility management. In addition many tens of thousands of family planning personnel have been trained in the developing countries with A.I.D. support. For population and family planning training A.I.D. has provided $153 million.

Few issues in the world have undergone such a rapid shift in public attitudes and government policies over the last decade as the problems of population growth and fertility control.
My own first awareness of birth control as a public policy issue came with a jolt in 1950 when my father was running for the United States Senate in Connecticut. Drew Pearson, on the Sunday before Election Day, “revealed” that my father was involved with Planned Parenthood. My father lost that election by a few hundred out of close to a

CHICAGO (STMW) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday announced an order setting deadlines for completion of cleanup and restoration work where an oil pipeline spill was discovered Tuesday near south suburban Lockport.
The pipeline, which is owned by West Shore Pipe Line Co. and operated by Buckeye Pipe Line Co. L.P., released about 21,000 gallons of oil near New Avenue in Lockport and Romeoville Tuesday, according to a release from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA order requires West Shore and Buckeye to take immediate action to contain, remove and restore areas where oil spilled, the release said. The affected area is near wetlands home to several endangered species, the release said.
The EPA is also monitoring air quality to assess any potential impacts on the health andwere surprised by how long the strike had lasted. Still, they had gotten used to the dull routine of shuttling between the picket line and their homes.
Garcia said he knew the first thing he was going to do once the strike ended.

Genetically Modified Food. Public opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops has not been based solely on concern about biological risks. Economic risks have been widely cited too: the fear that the world's food supply will be concentrated in the hands of a few large firms, the fear that such firms will engage or are already engaging in anti-competitive practices, and the fear of the transfer of ownership rights over genetic resources to the private sector. This essay by Dietmar Harhoff, Pierre Régibeau and Katherine Rockett assesses whether these fears are justified.

missing...I'd got nothing to do and I hadn't really got any friends. Although I was dating lots of girls, I never met one that I liked, and it was always too difficult to see my mates. Either they were broke and I was rich, or vice versa, and they were all scattered far apart.
So in a way, I had everything except companionship and something to do, and Heaven knows when I'd ever make another television programme. As it turned out, 'Floyd's American Pie' was the last time (I think it was 1988) that I worked for the BBC.
So what did I do? I had all that, and I went and bought a pub!
The South Hams in Devon is probably one of the prettiest areas in the West Countryvalued customer and a long-standing friend, now retired from the hotel industry, who would be a perfect man to occasionally, unannounced, pop into the pub and keep an eye on things.
At that particular time I had no personal manager to handle my television and writing affairs, my personal appearances, etc., etc. John Miles, my agent/business manager, and I had parted company without any acrimony or ill feelings – it just cost a lot, that's all! My contract with the newspaper was up for renewal so I asked this chap who was keeping a rough eye on the pub if he wouldn't mind negotiating the new deal for me. It was also a condition of the bank that this money would be paid each month into the pub account

at the time she was disabled by the injury, or did the employment terminate a week later when she received written notice thereof?
The essential facts testified to on behalf of plaintiff or admitted in her brief are: In 1960 plaintiff was hired by defendant as a secretary. A part of the fringe benefits promised her was that each year she was to have twenty days of sick leave with pay. Early in 1962 plaintiff's husband began making frequent phone calls to her and to her supervisor at the office. These calls falsely accused them of improprieties, and interfered with the orderly conduct of the office. Finally, plaintiff was told that because of this she was free to seek other employment, and that if there was such further conductshe would be discharged.

Career Criminal Facing Indictment?

A serial car thief is facing time in state prison after being arrested last week by the East Hampton Town police. For Isaac Gaon, 49, prison time is nothing new: He has been convicted at least six times on felony charges, including multiple grand theft auto charges, and has served time in five of New York’s 55 state prisons.
His most recent arrest came after he was picked up by East Hampton Town police after he reported to his parole officer in Bohemia on December 12. He was charged with criminal possession of stolen property, a car.

IT WAS IN the 1970s that American politics began to polarise around voters’ levels of educational attainment. The Republican Party, until then a party of tweedy north-easterners, began recruiting less-educated southern whites, alienated by the civil-rights movement. Over time, the partisan gap between college-educated voters and less-educated ones widened. In 2016 it exploded. The Pew Research Centre, a think-tank, found that overall, college graduates favoured Hillary Clinton by 21 percentage points, while those without a degree backed Donald Trump by a seven-point margin. Among whites, the difference is greater: those without a college degree backed Mr Trump over Mrs Clinton by a margin of more than two to one.
How far did this educational divide determine the outcome of the 2016 election? To answer this question, Michael Sances ofThe company considered making similar modifications to the Elise but it decided not to because they would make the two-seater noticeably heavier and more expensive.
"We'd need smart airbags, plus side airbags and to change the whole front crash structure. It would add 220 pounds," said company boss Jean-Marc Gales in an interview with trade journal Automotive News.
The bad news for Lotus enthusiasts is that the British car maker hasn't even started to develop the next Elise. The company is currently allocating the bulk of its resources to its first-ever SUV, and a brand new fully-compliant Elise isn't expected to land until 2020.

Citizens for Aspen’s Community Center is the city’s second issue committee
In a close advisory vote, the Armory building's use as a community center passed Tuesday. But what will happen next with the site remains largely unknown.Jeremy Wallace/The Aspen Times |
A group pushing the Armory building’s use as a community center, once City Hall relocates near Galena Plaza, is the second issue committee to register with the city of Aspen prior to November’s election.
Citizens for Aspen’s Community Center formed Tuesday. It is the campaign committee stemming from the original pro-community-center group, known as the Armory Hall Restoration Committee, whose goal is to return the building to its historical use.
From 1892 to 1957, the Armory building, located at the corner of East Hopkins Avenue and Galena Street, served as a Francis told the Barnharts that other people had expressed an interest in the Allentown franchise. The Barnharts confirmed their intention to operate the Allentown franchise and took possession of Dollar's counter at that airport on July 1, 1976. Their employees answered the phone and took out-of-town reservations. They were unable to offer automobiles for hire because of an inability to insure their operation. Under the lease with the airport authority, Dollar had assumed primary liability for any rent payable for the counter. During their occupancy, the Barnharts paid no rent to either Dollar or the airport authority.

The transgender community in Dallas was still grieving for Muhlaysia Booker when news broke last week that the body of Chynal Lindsey had been found in a lake, making her the second black trans woman murdered in the city in the space of a fortnight.
Three black trans women in their 20s have now been killed in the city since last October, when Brittany White was discovered fatally shot in a vehicle. Booker was found face down on a Dallas street on 18 May, five weeks after cellphone footage of her enduring a sustained beating in front of a jeering crowd went viral.

recent years. In April a woman was repeatedly stabbed and left for dead but survived. The decomposed body of Shade Schuler, 22, was located in a field in 2015, and the remains of another woman were discovered in 2017. None of the cases have been solved. Karla Flores-Pavon, a 26-year-old Hispanic trans woman, was strangled in a Dallas apartment in May last year. Police arrested a man and said the motive was robbery.
The attacks in the Texan metropolis underline the dangers faced by trans people across the country, with trans people of color in southern states especially vulnerable.
Lindsey appears to be the eighth black trans woman killed in the US this year, according to information collected by the Human Rights Campaign. It tracked 26 deaths among all racesDozens of people living in tents across Toronto have been moved into furnished apartment buildings as part of the city's response to protect the vulnerable during the COVID-19 crisis.
The encampments have popped up throughout the city during the pandemic as those living in shelters have taken to the outdoors, many of them afraid of catching the novel coronavirus in overcrowded shelters.
On Thursday, officials focused on moving about three dozen people who've been camped out at Sanctuary Ministries Toronto in the city's downtown.
There will soon be 125 units available that come with a kitchen, bedrooms, beds, linens, Wi-Fi and a television. Residents will also be fed three meals a day and have laundry service, the city said.

The trio could not stop smiling on Thursday.
"A bed," Renaud said, laughing. "I haven't slept on a real bed in a long time. Outside we're just sleeping on cardboard and sleeping bags."
Pratt said he was ready for a new beginning.
"I'm excited, excited, excited and paranoid," he said. "You know when good things happen, you think there's gotta be something bad behind it."
Pratt said he's been on the street for two years, mostly living at a shelter he hated. He said he wants to work again and believesthose in need of food and a place to go to the washroom — the organization rented portable toilets to help.
In a month, nearly 30 tents had surrounded their building, said Greg Cook, an outreach worker at Sanctuary.
"While it's not ideal, it's better than having to sleep in the rain," he said.
Hundreds of workers deployed to help
The city has redeployed hundreds of workers to help a massive relocation effort as it moves those in shelters and on the streets into hotels and apartments.
"I am so proud of this project — it's born out of a terrible pandemic, but I'm really excited to see this happening," said Mary-Anne Bedard, the general manager of the city's shelter, support and housing administration.
A developer, the Times Group, approached the city about using

two vacant buildings it was set to demolish, Bedard said.
The city is not issuing demolition permits due to the pandemic, so the buildings were available, she said. They had worked with the organization two years ago when the company offered use of one of its buildings for a city-run refugee program.
"They are a family development company who themselves are refugees who fled the Iranian war and have since done really well and wanted to give back," Bedard said.
The company is charging a "reasonable rate" for the building and will donate all the money to local foodbanks, she said.
While the move is a good step, it is nowhere near enough to get everyone out of encampments, she said, so the city is looking for more vacant buildings.
Before the pandemichit, there were about 7,000 people in the city's shelter system. The city has been buying and leasing hotels in an effort to get everyone out of the shelters, many of which are crowded, "open-air" settings with many cots in large rooms.
About 3,000 residents of the shelter system were already in hotels and family settings before the pandemic hit. In the last month, the city has moved 1,700 more out of the shelters, Bedard said.
COVID-19 has made its way inside some shelters, with 211 people testing positive. Nine have been hospitalized.
Bedard said the city moved people from five long-term encampments underneath the Gardiner Expressway on Wednesday and have targeted several other areas.
The entire relocation project will cost about $200 million by the end of the year, she said,

and the city is hoping for more money from the provincial and federal governments.
Dods, who had been living in a tent with Renaud and Pratt in a tent for a month, said he's happy, but anxious.
"I haven't had a place of my own for about four years," he said.
"It wouldn't happen without the virus, but at least the city is taking action."
He said he is excited for the bathroom.

London, May 26 (ANI): More than half a million assaults were either carried out by a girl or woman last year or involved a female as part of a group - and the trend is increasing, the Daily Telegraph can disclose.
Women and girls were responsible for 13 per cent of all violent attacks in 2007/08, according to the British Crime Survey, which was the equivalent of 281,320 assaults, robberies and muggings, compared with 11 per cent in the previous year.
A further 11 per cent of incidents - or 238,040 crimes - involved both male and female offenders, the figures from the Home Office show.
Females were also either directly responsible for or involved in 21 per cent

Valencia 2017 was the last race for Jorge Lorenzo with Yamaha. This is the image that remains of the Majorcan, triumphant at Ricardo Tormo before starting the adventure with Ducati. The Spaniard has come a long way in these years, passing through Borgo Panigale and then Honda, and then returning home, on his M1.
Lorenzo took to the track during this week's shakedown, then he will get back on the bike again tomorrow for the last day of testing in Malaysia. Many observers are wondering, however, when it will be possible to see the Majorcan again in action. The answer seems to be almost certainly on June 7, on the occasion of the GP at the Barcelona circuit.

Discovering Aiki My 20 Years with Yukiyoshi Sagawa Sensei
Yukiyoshi Sagawa often traveled as an attendant to his teacher, Daito-ryu Chuku-no-so Sokaku Takeda, who was also the teacher of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba. At one time, around 1956, an agreement was made for Sagawa to become an instructor at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, but he took exception to some remarks about Sokaku Takeda made by Morihei Ueshiba in an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun around that time and changed his mind.
Yukiyoshi Sagawa’s younger brother and favorite sibling, Hiroshi Sagawa (佐川廣), was born in Shimo-yubetsu Hokkaido in 1909 (Meiji Year 42) into a family in which both his father and his elder brother trained extensively with Sokaku Takeda.

Aiki that forms the foundation must be absolutely the same.
Sagawa: With both Takeda Sensei and my brother, when Aiki was applied one’s strength would be removed.
Kimura: Sagawa Sensei said that Takeda Sensei would throw with a conventional technique after removing their power (with Aiki), but there was even further development (by Sagawa Sensei) from there. He made a great discovery concerning Aiki when he was seventy years old. By the way, I first met Sensei when he was seventy-six years old, from that time – that is, from the beginning, he was incredible. (laughing)
Azumi: (laughing)
True Throws – the Intensity of the Last Practice

Iran's threat to close a vital international waterway if stricter sanctions are imposed on Iranian oil exports is more than just bellicose and provocative. It is also a test of U.S. will and commitment in the Persian Gulf at a time when our role in the region is changing.
The world has grown used to chest-thumping by Tehran, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the exercises conducted by Iranian armed forces earlier this month to demonstrate their ability to close the Strait of Hormuz. But how the United States reacts to the threats is crucially important.
Iran's large arsenal of mines would certainly present a challenge to shipping in the region if Tehran makes good on its threat. Iran

has the ability to lay mines from many platforms: small boats, submarines, midget submarines, even merchant ships. And Western navies, including America's, have long underinvested in minesweeping technology. The U.S. Navy and its allies would be challenged, therefore, to sweep the strait clear of mines laid in large numbers.
But there is no doubt that the United States can prevent Iran from closing the shipping route, through which much of the world's oil travels. The United States and its allies could ultimately clear traffic lanes and destroy Iranian vessels attempting to lay minefields. As long as the major stakeholders in the global economy remain confident that the strait will remain open, the impact of any Iranian attempt to close it will probably be mitigated.
It is important, therefore, for theUnited States to declare its commitment to using all necessary force to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Such a declaratory policy would be explicitly defensive: If Iran violates international law by attacking shipping in transit through the strait, the United States will act in defense of international law to stop the illegal action and eliminate the capabilities of the violator to persist in such behavior.
Tehran would portray any such declaration as an act of aggression on the part of the "global arrogance" -- as it calls the United States -- and an escalation in the conflict. The Iranian regime has illegally seized a series of small islands in the strait belonging to the United Arab Emirates, and it uses them to claim that the whole Strait of

about 30 miles southwest of Mount Pleasant. While touring the property, the man spotted the rock propping open a door and asked the farmer what it was.
The farmer told him it was a meteorite, that it was part of the property and he could have it.
The farmer said that it had come down onto the property in the ’30s — “and it made a heck of a noise when it hit,” the new owner recalled him saying, according to CMU’s statement. In the morning, the farmer and his father found the crater and dug out the still-warm meteorite.
The new owner lived on the farm a few years, and when he moved, he took the mystery rock with him. For the past thirty years, he has used it asBible's four accounts of his life, but he was unequivocal in condemning divorce among straight couples.
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery,” Luke 16:18 quotes the Nazarene as saying – although in Matthew 19:9 he does apparently allow it in cases when the wife has been unfaithful.
Oddly, very few objectors to LGBT marriage seem to have read this part of the Bible, and it’s never brought up by religious leaders who depend on buns on seats to pay their church's bills. In the US, around half of all marriages involve a divorced person, and yet there seem to be no pickets outside these weddings or complaints from protestors.

fell in love and lived with for four years. Working side by side, both painted dreamlike surrealist works . Vezelay became well respected in modernist Parisian art circles and was elected in the 1930s to membership of the French abstract movement, Abstraction-Création, which was largely established as a reaction to Surrealism.
On the outbreak of the Second World War she moved back to London, but had difficulty in gaining recognition by the British art establishment, possibly because of her identification with Paris at a time when the London art world was beginning to acquire its own separate and different reputation. However, in 1952 she was invited by Andre Bloc, president of the Parisian constructivist abstract movement Groupe Espace, to form a London branch of that movement. After many difficultiesWhen Jack and Virginia Cotterman made the decision to move closer to their kids in Connecticut, they made a mental checklist of what they needed in their new location.
Kent County met their needs.
Low taxes? Check.
Affordable housing? Check.
Central location on the eastern seaboard? Check.
Before moving to Dover's Longacre Village more than a year ago, the Cottermans were living out their retirement years in Texas, which meant a cross-country trip to see their kids and grandchildren on the East Coast.
When the trips became fewer and farther between, the retired couple decided to look for an area of the country that would afford them easy access to their family without breaking the bank.
"We checked everywhere, like Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey before we decided to move here," Virginia said.

not planning to make any return to the ice. Unfortunately, he likely has career-ending medical issues, but he likely will not be retiring. It is neither in his interest (since he will continue to be paid on the LTIR) or in the interest of the Maple Leafs (for the reasons to come below) for Horton to retire at this time.
Thus the question should be asked why the Maple Leafs did not place Nathan Horton on the LTIR at the start of the season. That can illustrated with the graph below:
The black line represents the salary cap ceiling for the Maple Leafs. The blue line is their daily cap hit and the green line is a projected cap hit for the team at the end of the year. Amentioned above, the Maple Leafs can receive a salary cap ceiling exception equal to the overage created by the Horton contract after putting replacement players on their roster (whose total contract values cannot be greater than that of Horton’s contract), which occurs immediately after Horton is placed on the LTIR. At the start of the season, the Maple Leafs were operating at a projected $70.48m cap hit. If they had placed Horton on the LTIR at that point and fully replaced him, they could have created a maximum allowed overage of $4.38m. Instead, the Maple Leafs waited. Then on October 27, 2015, they called up Casey Bailey from the AHL (at a time when they had three players on the regular IR and needed a call-up), which put

29, 2015, they returned Casey Bailey to the minors, called Byron Froese up to the NHL, and signed Richard Clune. Overall, those moves put the Leafs at $71.5m, just slightly over the normal salary cap ceiling. This only lasted for a single day. From December 30, 2015, to January 10, 2016, the Maple Leafs were at $71.7m in salary after an emergency call up of Mark Arcobello and Antoine Bibeau. (Both were sent back to the minors on January 3, 2015, for some reason but promptly returned to the NHL on the next day.) From February 8, 2016, to February 22, 2016, the Maple Leafs were well above the normal $71.4m salary cap ceiling. One of the main factors was the trade that sent Phaneuf out of townmainly related to them calling up a large number of their minor league prospects including Kasperi Kapenen and William Nylander.
Finally, it should be mentioned that sometimes the contract of a player on the LTIR can itself become a good asset. We saw that happen this past summer when Marc Savard was involved in a trade that sent him from the Boston Bruins to the Florida Panthers. The thing is: Savard has not played a single game since 2010-11, when he received a career ending concussion. So he had spent his entire time in Boston after his injury on the LTIR, which makes cap management a bit more complicated for the reasons described in detail above. However, Florida found his contract attractive as a cash-strapped team because it added

At the time of appellant's defalcations, he was a vice president and registered account representative with Dean Witter & Co., Inc. ("Dean Witter"), a broker and dealer in securities registered with the SEC and a member of the NYSE, employed in Dean Witter's Chicago office. He had been in the securities business as a salesman for some twenty-six years and had been a vice president of Dean Witter for about seven years. In January of 1975,appellant was assigned responsibility for the account of Mrs. Lillian Park, an 80-year old patient in a nursing home, whose nephew, Harold Burwick, represented her. Due to a clerical error, $10,000 in school district bearer bonds purchased by another customer were posted to Mrs. Park's account, and the January account statement sent by Dean Witter to Burwick so disclosed. Burwick called appellant about this, and appellant said he would take care of it. However, the bonds continued to show up in Mrs. Park's monthly account statements. Finally, in June, appellant requested Dean Witter's New York office to deliver the bonds to the Chicago office. When they arrived near the end of June, appellant, without authority, put them in his safety deposit box.

not done so, more than two would have been killed at the church that day. Two others had been killed by Murray at the Youth Mission School in nearby Arvada. New Life’s senior pastor Brady Boyd said Assam’s actions saved the lives of 50 to 100 people:
A former police officer, Assam, 42, was on security duty Sunday morning at New Life Church here. Hours earlier, a 24-year-old who had been rejected from a missionary school in a Denver suburb had shot and killed two staffers there. Now he was spraying New Life's parking lot with gunfire and pushing through the doors to the sanctuary. Assam hid and inched toward the gunman, Matthew Murray, as dozens of terrified worshipers fled. She waited until he got close enough, revealed herself,aimed her pistol and fired. Murray dropped to the ground. He was carrying an assault rifle, two pistols and a backpack holding more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition. "I just prayed to the Holy Spirit to guide me," Assam said at a packed news conference Monday. "I give the credit to God. This has got to be God, because of the firepower he had versus what I have."
As they say, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. In places like Sutherland Springs, San Bernardino, Orlando, and other mass shooting sites, the slaughter of the innocent could have been cut short by someone with a gun. As the widow of one of the San Bernardino victims noted:

choose gun-free zones such as Umqua or that Aurora, Colorado movie theatre to target their victims knowing there will be no one thereto immediately return fire:
As John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Research Prevention Center, wrote in an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday, "Since at least 1950, all but two mass public shootings in America have taken place where general citizens are banned from carrying guns." This is usually why they are selected as targets, Lott says. In the July 2012 mass shooting inside a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., the shooter had a choice of seven movie theaters within 20 miles of his home that were showing the Batman movie he was obsessed with. The Cinemark Theater he chose wasn't the closest, butand redoing his labor of the past hour. “What did they fear to find?” I wondered. What could be so threatening about the contents of these simple bags? Then I recalled the armamentarium that had lovingly been placed into each one, weapons of warfare that seriously threatened the power of the enemy.In each bag there was a butterfly, a symbol of new life. It had been skillfully knitted by the faithful Christian remnant in Cuba. People who had also known the pain of threat and religious oppression. Yes, these women had packed the ammunition of new life with which to fight the enemy of death.
In addition to new life, each suitcase made room for a new hat. These hats were especially dangerous for they brought with them joy.

Each one with its cockeyed beak and resolute tail had been carefully folded with prayer and petition. These symbols of peace would surely be a terrible threat to the continued bloodshed.
Yes, at the Syrian border, the weapons of war would be uncovered. Inside each piece of luggage would be found new life, joy, laughter, prayer, and peace. As our beloved sisters returned to the war zone they call home, these weapons that they cherished would no longer be concealed… and never, never confiscated.INTRODUCTION {#S1}
============
In the last decade, Spanish community pharmacies have incorporated into their existing services a series of extra activities included within the concept of Pharmaceutical Care, with the aim of achieving the maximum benefit from patients' therapy. These activities are endorsed by the new Spanish law of Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines and Medical Devices.[@B1]
Although implementation of these activities in daily practice has generally been lower than initially hoped, the challenges inherent in pharmaceutical care and pharmacists' services in general, have been taken on by a large number of pharmacists in Spain. As evidence of this is the appearance of specialized journals such as Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico and Pharmaceutical Care España. There has also been a noteworthy increase in the number of communications presented at conferences focusing in

community pharmacies and pharmaceutical care. At the last Spanish National Congress on Pharmaceutical Care, held in Valencia[@B2] in 2005, the number of communications was three times the number at the First National Congress on Pharmaceutical Care, held in San Sebastián in 1999.[@B3]
To achieve greater dissemination and implementation of pharmaceutical care and to confirm the value of the system, research to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions by community pharmacists must be undertaken. This can be extended to the other services that community pharmacies offer, such as pharmacovigilance and health promotion.
Review of the scientific literature helps researchers to obtain information about the current state of research in particular areas, and how the system is working and designs being used. This allows researchers to identify and undertake new lines of research.out by using the following databases: International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA)[@B8], Medline[@B9], and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).[@B10] A direct search was made in primary sources, specifically in the journals Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico and Pharmaceutical Care España.
For the PubMed/MEDLINE search, the term community was used in combination with pharmac\* and Spain, and the search was limited to the period above mentioned. In another search the term community was combined with pharmac\* and the search was limited to articles originally published in Spanish. The term "pharmacy office" was used in another search.
For the search involving the CSIC database, the keywords farmacia\* comunitaria\*, oficina\* de farmacia and atención farmacéutica y farmacia were used. These searches were conducted in the IME (biomedicine) and ICYT (science and technology) summaries.

pharmacists (none of the authors), or studies that did not involve at least the participation of community pharmacists in the design and development of the research, were also excluded. The selection was made independently by two reviewers.
The articles retrieved were entered into a Microsoft Access database. The variables registered for each article were: main author, number of authors, year of publication, journal, objective, design and area of study, existence of grants or official funding and the number, year and origin of the bibliographic references.
Production indicators: The change in the number of publications in the period studied, the number of authors per publication, transitivity index (percentage of occasional authors with respect to total number of authors) and the scientific productivity per autonomous community were used as production indicators. Tothere exists more experience in scientific research, such as hospital pharmacy. Hospital pharmacists published 260 articles in Farmacia Hospitalaria between 1995 and 2005.[@B136] Production of scientific articles in community pharmacies in Spain is, however, similar to that in other countries, such as for example, Canada; in Canada, 38 original articles[@B5] were published between 1995 and 2001, and 40 original articles were published in Spain in the same period. In a study of worldwide research in Pharmaceutical Care in the past 5 years[@B6], Spain occupied a high position in terms of production, below the USA, at the same level as the UK and above countries such as France, Italy and Germany.
Our study showed that scientific output in community pharmacy research has notably increased in the study period. Only 25

these journals. Bradford's nucleus did not contain the journal Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico, probably because of its short life since the first volume was published in 2003. The nucleus of publications represented 4.3% of the total number of primary publications, but contained 49.4% of the total number of references cited. Of the 15 journals, 7 (46.7%) are published in English.
The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI: Philadelphia, USA) calculates the yearly IF for all journals included in the Science Citation Index, the Social Science Citation Index and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index databases and publishes them in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR).[@B141] Many Spanish journals are not included in these databases[@B142], and thus a study entitled "Potential impact factors of Spanish medical journals",[@B143] was carried out with the purpose ofmiddle 50% group in the 16-year-old girls had a slight increase of their mean BMI. In the 2002 4-year-old, and both 10-year-old samples, a higher proportion of the girls were overweight/obese compared to the boys, but no difference was seen in the 16-year-old sample. Young children, especially girls, have become much more overweight/obese during the past 20 years, despite a high proportion of post-graduate education in the population. The lack of major change in 16-year-olds may suggest a rather recent change in the children's environment/lifestyle.

"Water rationing will go on in most parts of Nairobi because of historical failures but the county has promised to improve it through laid out mechanisms", Water CeC member Larry Wambua said on Tuesday.
Nairobi gets slightly over half a million cubic meters per day against a demand of 700,000 cubic meters.
This means there is a water deficit of approximately 200,000 cubic meters per day.
Wambua was speaking at a public participation meeting organised by Nairobi City Water and Sewerage to highlight on issues affecting residents.
In 2015, NCWSC partnered with the national government to rollout 24 underground water projects at Sh160 million each, to counter the deficit.

the fuel in the container is conveyed through the channel to and into the wick. The wick permits air therethrough at least when the club is in relative rest so that air may be sucked in through the wick or between the wick and its support and in via the connection to the container, to eliminate the under-pressure that otherwise occurs in the container as a result of the removal of fuel from the container to the wick.
The channel or the channels can have the shape of one or many radial bores at the bottom part of the container so that the channels exit at the lengthwise middle area of the wick.
In one embodiment of the invention the torch can be built from an elongate section of awas as a maintenance technician trainee, and thereafter he was promoted to maintenance technician in November 1975, and to senior maintenance technician, the highest non-supervisory position in that department, in May 1978. Coleman's abilities and desire for advancement were recognized by Dow, and he was highly rated within his department.
In 1982, defendant Robert Raymond ("Raymond") became Coleman's supervisor in the maintenance department. In 1984, Raymond brought to the attention of Plant Manager John Oberlatz the vacancy of a supervisory position in the maintenance department, and recommended Eugene Laroux, a white male, for that position. Oberlatz had final decision-making authority over that promotion decision; however, Raymond's evaluation of job performance was a factor which Oberlatz considered *148 when making that decision. On January 28, 1985, Oberlatz promoted Laroux to

in the following ways:
1. denial of promotional opportunities (Counts One and Two);
2. Raymond subjecting Coleman to, and Dow permitting Coleman to be subjected to, racial harassment; and denial to him equal terms of employment and equal pay (Count Three); and
3. evaluating Coleman's performance as inferior, in retaliation for filing a race discrimination complaint with the EEOC (Count Four).
In 1986, Dow promoted Chris Kulaga, a white male, to the position of supervisor in the Styrofoam Department; and in 1988, in the course of a multiple personnel shift, Dow promoted Mike Bonanno, a white male, to a supervisory position in the Latex Department. Oberlatz had final appointment authority over both promotions.
II. VIABILITY OF COLEMAN'S § 1981 CLAIMS
In part, Dow and Raymond claim entitlement to summary judgment because of the interpretationpurpose of the rule of law announced in Patterson was to interpret the language Congress chose in drafting § 1981 and to clarify the extent of overlap between protection against racial discrimination in employment as afforded by that statute and by Title VII. 109 S.Ct. at 2379. The court declined to stretch the meaning of the words used in § 1981 to encompass the problem of racial discrimination in the conditions of continuing employment where Congress had chosen to address that problem through the conciliatory mechanisms of Title VII, in order to try to salvage the employer-employee relationship. Patterson, 109 S.Ct. at 2375.
Further, applying Patterson to Coleman's claims will not be inequitable. Coleman may still pursue his harassment claim against Dow under Title VII; and although he is

for the filing of the EEOC complaint and the present lawsuit, both in the evaluation process itself, and in the fact that since filing the complaints his work assignments have not been suitable for someone of his experience and seniority. Coleman and other Dow employees state that Coleman's actual performance remained consistently high during this period.
Coleman plans to testify that Raymond told him he would "get him" for filing his complaint with the EEOC. Further, the extent of Raymond's participation in, and his impact upon, Coleman's performance evaluations is a question for the trier of fact to determine.
Whether Coleman's evaluations suddenly dropped, and whether Dow's and Raymond's actions were motivated by retaliatory intention, remain in dispute for the trier of fact to determine, based on the credibility ofArticle content continued

De Galle balked at the idea, the Pentagon moved the batteries to Italy and Turkey. Starting in 1961, ten Jupiter sites were established in Italy, housing two squadrons, each consisting of nuclear warheads, fifteen missiles, and 500 support personnel. In Turkey, one Jupiter Squadron was deployed over five sites near the eastern coastal city of Izmir.
These sites, especially in Turkey, were seen as a major Cold War provocation by Moscow, threatening the Soviet's southern flank. In response, they began to set up similar missile bases in Cuba, triggering what is known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the negotiations between Kennedy and Kruschev that ended this crisis, both powers agreed to abandon their ballistic missile sites.
The rise of nationalist governments in former colonial states also eroded NATO's Mediterraneanpower. In Libya, Wheelus Air Force base had originally been established outside of Triploi by the colonial Italian government in 1923, then captured by the British during World War Two and transferred over to the American Air Force shortly thereafter. According to an article in Air Force Magazine, the U.S. presence at Wheelus was never looked on fondly by the Libyan population, and the 1967 Israeli-Arab war triggered riots at the American embassy and attacks on vehicles going to and from Wheelus, as well as calls from the Libyan parliament to remove all foreign bases from the country. Sensing that their time at the base was running out, Air Force planners began to seek facilities elsewhere, and when a military coup overthrew King Idris and empowered Colonel Gaddafi

but Johnson resorted to none of them. At no stage did he involve the power and authority of the world's most powerful country against a government dependent on U.S. aid and presenting a case for war based on obvious untruths and exaggerations. (Salt, 223)
At the conclusion of the war, the U.S. made an equally hollow attempt to enforce UN Resolution 242, which called for Israel to withdraw from the Arab territory it was occupying at the end of war: the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip, the Syrian Golan Heights, and the Jordanian West Bank. The 1967 war made it clear that the U.S. would stand firmly behind Israeli aggression, no matter the conduct. In a good metaphor for their overall relationship, the Israeli military "accidently" attacked aU.S. Naval ship, the USS Liberty, killing 34 American seamen, with virtually no consequences.
During the 1973 war launched by Egypt, known as the Yom Kippur War, the U.S. went further, supplying Israel with emergency military airlifts, pulling tanks and planes directly from bases and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, some of which Israel sent to the front line within hours of it being received (Mehran Kamrava, The Modern Middle East, 129).
While the first decade of the Cold War saw a NATO ascendency in the Mediterranean, the sixties and early seventies witnessed a diminshed control. Cold War tensions, decolonization, and the U.S. Israel relationship all served to paint Washington into a corner.

She joined the series during its first season for what was intended as a two-week job coordinating a jousting scene. That was almost nine years ago. As the show’s horse master, she is responsible for coordinating and choreographing the many equine performers.
She and her brother Daniel run The Devil’s Horsemen, a company based in Buckinghamshire, England, which provides horses to an array of film and TV projects including “Wonder Woman” and “The Crown.”
“Every horse you see currently is pretty much one of ours,” she says.

Alleged Philly Mobster Will Plead Guilty
Uncle Sam indicted him, and now Gaeton Lucibello is crying uncle.
Lucibello was among the thirteen defendants charged last year for his alleged role in a gambling racket run by reputed Philly mob boss Joe Ligambi, and apparently now he's folding as reported by George Anastasia for The Inquirer: "notice of Lucibello's intention to plead guilty was filed Thursday with Judge Eduardo C. Robreno, who is presiding over the Ligambi case." At the time of Lucibello's arrest federal prosecutors characterized him as a "long-standing soldier" in the Philly mob.

for rhino horn is the primary threat. But in Southeast Asia, where rhinos cling precariously to existence in relatively well-protected rainforest areas, guarded by rangers, lack of suitable habitat and low population densities are the biggest dangers.The state of Javan rhinos is especially precarious. Their sole habitat is an area of forest that only exists as a consequence of the massive volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883; the resulting ash fallout and tsunami killed everyone living in the area that is now Ujung Kulong National Park. Fear of future eruptions left the area uninhabited, allowing forest to regrow and providing the Javan rhino a refuge on an island that is the most densely populated in Indonesia.Conservationists are working hard to expand the Javan rhino’s habitat. The International RhinoFoundation is working with its local partner, the Rhino Foundation of Indonesia (YABI), and the national park administration toextend protected status to some 3,000 hectares of forest adjacent to the park, which has roughly 38,000 hectares of prime rhino habitat. The goal is to boost the population to 70 to 80 rhinos by 2015, roughly double the current number. The effort will not be easy: Rhinos have to compete with colonists encroaching into the area, clearing forests for agriculture and poaching game with snares that endanger non-target species like rhino.In 2010 and 2011, the park administration, together with the YABI, successfully convinced 70 farmers to abandon fields planted illegally inside the park and move, with compensation, outside park boundaries. Yet incursions into the park by hunters remain a

Hello I'm Jennifer bond. Match US and European auto rescues. Jessica Schneider returns with a part to report. But first a look at your headlines. Toyota reporting today that its global sales rose 28%. To seven point four million in the first nine months of the year. Normally that would be an impressive increase. But it marks a decline from the 34%. Gain chalked up after six months. Plunging sales in China following anti Japan protests in that country. Cool Toyota's third quarter gains. EPA says the global sales race with General Motors could tighten as a result. Toyota had overtaking GM through June bouncing back from last year's earthquake in Japan. Look for Toyota to posing as much as say 20% rise in US sales for October.principle of the present invention is based on the fact that the plug connector is guided in a statically defined manner during the insertion process. After ending the insertion process, while the plug connector is resting on the connector base, centering elements retain the plug connector in the correct position in the mating connector, and at the same time, the guide elements provide no further function.
The guide elements may be composed of cam-like elements on the plug connector and guideway-like recesses on a mating connector. To ensure the functioning of such guideways according to the present invention, the cam-like formations are located in the immediate vicinity of the opening of the plug connector, so that when mounting the plug connector on the mating connector, the cam-like formations are

paper in one, with an emphasis on the central point of novelty.
To make a nest, the Bembicinae (previously called Nyssoninae) sand wasps dig a tunnel of many body-lengths, at the end of which they build a cell or a complex of cells, where they place their offspring and the prey on which the offspring will feed (Evans [@CR44]). They have natural enemies---two taxonomic groups of flies (the bee flies, Bombyliidae, and miltogrammine flies, Sarcophagidae) and two taxonomic groups of parasitic wasps (the cuckoo wasps, Chrysididae, and "velvet ants," Mutillidae)--- that parasitize their nests by laying there, and whose larvae either takes up valuable resources or destroy the larvae of the sand wasp. Parasites of the former two groups seek the nests of their hosts by sight, and ofthe notion of random mutation means that there is nothing of importance to be studied about the causes of mutation from an evolutionary perspective, the concept of non-accidental mutation provided by interaction-based evolution implies instead a whole world of biological mechanisms open to investigation.
Before Darwin, people used to think that different species were each created separately in an instant. While Darwin made an immense contribution by showing that this is not the case, and that species are generated gradually, a notion of creation in an instant has been maintained in neo-Darwinism in other areas: the origin of life, the origin of mutations, and cooption. While Livnat ([@CR113]) argued among other things against the origin of life in an instant, this paper argues against the other two. Novelty arises

The Department of Homeland Security has been closely monitoring the activities of the Black Lives Matter movement—news that should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the U.S. government's history of spying on civil rights groups and other activist collectives.
The Intercept's George Joseph reported on Friday that the DHS has been assiduously tracking Black Lives Matter activists ever since Michael Brown's killing sparked major protests a year ago. In detailing the Department's methods, Joseph writes:
[T]he department frequently collects information, including location data, on Black Lives Matter activities from public social media accounts, including on Facebook, Twitter, and Vine, even for events expected to be peaceful. The reports confirm social media surveillance of the protest movement and ostensibly related events in

'All Points Bulletin' Developer Looking to Recruit
All Points Bulletin (APB) takes the universal theme of Criminals and Enforcement and brings it to a persistent, open world multiplayer setting in a modern, crime-ridden city. Realtime Worlds currently employs 250 developers and is looking to recruit an additional 50 by early 2010.
Founded by industry veteran David Jones, creator of Lemming’s, Grand Theft Auto 1&2 and Crackdown, Realtime Worlds’ latest project takes the universal theme of Criminals and Enforcement and brings it to a persistent, open world multiplayer setting in a modern, crime-ridden city.
APB is a new breed of online game. Set in a persistent living, breathing open-world urban environment where fame and fortune awaits all players. Some players will achieve this by feeding on the city, its people and itscould pull one lever to choose the party’s candidate on top and automatically select all the other party nominees, straight down the line.
“It truly was the incumbent protection plan,” Cole said.
But here in Trump country, where Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is widely viewed as a threat to the struggling coal industry, straight-ticket voters could have been GOP gold.
Ten other states still offer straight-ticket voting, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures: Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Michigan, where the legislature’s decision to abolish it has been held back by a court challenge.
But instead of coasting back into Senate leadership, Cole faces a challenger: well-known businessman Jim Justice, who last year declared himself a Democrat for his first run at public

office. The owner of coal mines, farms and the Greenbrier resort, Justice, 65, has the backing of the United Mine Workers of America, the state Farm Bureau and the West Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association. He has spent $2.6 million of his own money on the race.
The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce supports Cole. He has also loaned at least $500,000 to his campaign and paid other in-kind expenses. The governor’s salary is $150,000 a year.
Cole, the 60-year-old owner of three car dealerships that employ some 400 people, saw the mandatory exit of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin after two terms as an opportunity to also remove administrative regulation and further support the free market.
He said that’s critical to West Virginia’s economic comeback from the decline in coal mining.

Washington (CNN) -- A second air traffic controller has been found to have fallen asleep on the job, this one intentionally sleeping for five hours while a fellow controller, working alone, landed seven aircraft, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.
The FAA is taking steps to fire the controller, the agency said.
The incident occurred at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee, on February 19. A controller on duty in the radar room went to sleep during his midnight shift. A fellow controller, working in a different room, handled both the radar and tower positions while the other controller "was unresponsive," the FAA said.
All seven of the planes he handled during the five-hour period landed safely, it said.
The Knoxville airport is considered an "up-down facility," meaning the airport control towerReagan Airport incident, Babbitt indicated it is, saying, "This was a willful violation."
In a statement released later Wednesday, the FAA said it "will not tolerate this type of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior. The agency is committed to ensuring the safety of the traveling public and is conducting a nationwide review of the air traffic control system, including overnight staffing at selected airports around the country."
The investigation into the Reagan Airport incident is continuing. In that incident, the controller, a 20-year veteran supervisor, acknowledged falling asleep during his midnight shift, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, which is conducting the investigation.
He was the only controller at the time in the Reagan Airport tower. Two aircraft landed at the airport while he slept.

(CNN) Georgia Southern University was in mourning Thursday after five nursing students were killed the day before in a multivehicle wreck near Savannah .
Caitlyn Baggett, Morgan Bass, Emily Clark, Abbie Deloach and Catherine (McKay) Pittman -- all juniors -- were killed in the Wednesday morning crash as they were traveling to a hospital in Savannah, according to the school website
Fellow nursing students Brittney McDaniel and Megan Richards were injured as was another person, who was not identified by the Georgia State Patrol.
The young women were on their way to finish their first set of clinical rotations.
"Today should have been a day of celebration for this bright group of students," at St. Joseph's/Candler hospital said in a Facebook posting . "It was their last day of clinical rotations ...in their first year of nursing school." Clinicals include hands-on instruction at a health care facility.
A post commander for the Georgia State Patrol said a tractor-trailer smashed into an eastbound line of cars that had slowed for a prior accident on Interstate 16.
"He came along from behind them and he just did not stop for those cars," Sgt. Chris Nease said.
There were four passenger vehicles and three tractor-trailers involved in the 5:45 a.m. accident. The women who were killed were in two cars, a Toyota Corolla and a Ford Escape.
One of their vehicles caught on fire, Nease said, but it will take an investigation to determine whether the women died on impact.
"Right about the time I got here, the car was just about catching on fire," Cayne Monroe

told the station. "The car just burned up really quickly. And I run up there, but there was nothing anyone could do. I've never witnessed something like that in my life. It was pretty tragic."
The state patrol said the truck driver is from Louisiana. The 55-year-old man had not been charged as of Thursday evening, Nease told CNN.
'Incomprehensible' loss
"Every one of our students contributes in no small measure to the Eagle Nation," university President Brooks A. Keel said in a statement . "The loss of any student, especially in a tragic way, is particularly painful. Losing five students is almost incomprehensible."
Georgia Southern flew flags at half-staff and counseling was offered to students. A campuswide vigil was held Thursday night.
On the university's Twitter page, a tear was added tothe profile logo of the eagle mascot.
"You could tell that they really loved what they did," Sherry Danello, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at St. Joseph's/Candler, said on the hospital's Facebook posting. "They didn't just go through the task, they really connected to the patients."
Luke Bryan, a country music star and school alumnus, tweeted his condolences: "Praying for everyone at Georgia Southern and the families who lost loved ones."

of the medical companyís total assets, and between 2000 and 2006 Caputo used the fund for personal expenses and loans.
He paid for boat insurance, real estate investments, a motorcycle and motor home, vacations and gifts, the lawsuit contended. Caputo also paid for a divorce and covered the costs of his alimony with employee retirement money, the lawsuit said.
Caputo, 65, a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology whose office is on Redstone Avenue in Crestview, was not in the office Wednesday. Efforts to contact him for comment were not successful.
The lawsuit alleged that Caputo and Bankert violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by allowing the pension plan to purchase stock from participants at inflated prices. The men didnít keep accurate records, didnít allow older workers to diversify their accounttheir size and whether Rumsavich was supposed to remit some or all of them to a telemarketing firm that did much of the work of drumming up business. When Rumsavich and Tel-Save had their falling out, each claimed that the other owed it money. By 1996 Rumsavich was in financial distress as a result of a failed pizza venture (his activities peddling partnership interests in that business led both Illinois and Indiana to bar Rumsavich from ever selling securities again, and led the National Association of Securities Dealers to fine and expel him) and ongoing difficulties with the Internal Revenue Service. On March 20, 1996, Rumsavich traveled to Tel-Save's headquarters in Pennsylvania, where he and Daniel Borislow, Tel-Save's CEO, negotiated a compromise. Borislow initially

Bet on the NBAThe Los Angeles Clippers have been on a good run in recent weeks, thus potentially helping to improve coach Vinny Del Negro's job security.
The 31-21 Clippers have five wins in a row and are 7-3 in their last ten games. The Dallas Mavericks are also 7-3 in their last ten and have a 30-23 record. These two teams are dealing with the same momentum and will be taking each other on tonight in Dallas' American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks' Delonte West has returned for the Mavericks after suffering a finger injury that kept him out for about a month. West had 15 points in Friday's 100-98 win over Orlando. However, Lamar Odom has an unspecified illness and is in a questionable status for this game.
Dirk Nowitzkihas experienced his best month of the season in March. Nowitzki averaged 25.2 points per game in March. This includes 40 on March 3 against Utah. The lowest total he had in March was 13 against Sacramento on March 9.
The Los Angeles Clippers have a potential to go for their first six game winning streak since 1992. However, the Clippers will be doing with some injury concerns in mind. There are no signs of Chauncey Billups coming back from his injury any time soon. Billups was fourth on the Clippers with 15 points per game.
Chris Paul also had a bruised elbow on Saturday and was forced out of the game. He is expected to come in for tonight's game but it is unclear as to what extent. Paul

A Fresno man is dead after Anaheim police say a suspected DUI driver struck him on Disneyland Drive on Saturday night.
According to the Anaheim Police Department, 47-year-old Stefanie Lyn Bieser of La Mirada was driving a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser northbound on Disneyland Drive (near Katella Avenue) at about 11:04 p.m. on Saturday when she jumped the curb and struck a 54-year-old Fresno man, as well as a utility box and a tree.
The man had been walking southbound when he was hit. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died, and his identity has not yet been released.
Bieser was arrested for suspicion of Gross Vehicular Manslaughter while Intoxicated and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol/Drugs Causing Bodily Injury. She was booked into the Anaheim DetentionStonie is a fresh-faced guy who's happier slurping foreskin than studying for finals, and could be called the Kate Moss of gay porn.

Fans adore starring at his massive package and tight ass while he hangs with his homeboyz, macks on collegiate cuties or follow orders from his dictatorial daddies.

finished with 22 for Boston. He and Irving combined to go 24-for-35 while the rest of the Celtics went 14-for-49.
The Mavericks fell behind by as many as 15 points in the first half, outscoring the Celtics 55-35 over the second and third quarters.
NO MORAL VICTORIES
Similar to recent home games against Cleveland and San Antonio, the Mavericks fought one of the NBA's best teams until the end, getting their home crowd into it. But the Mavericks have three close losses to show for those efforts and perhaps are unfairly saddled with the league's worst record.
"At the end of the day, it's got to show up in wins and losses," Barnes said. "There are no moral victories around here. Tonight was playing against a great team, and a great opportunityto win here in front of our home fans. We let it slip away."
TIP-INS
Celtics: Marcus Smart came into the game shooting just 27 percent from the field, worst among NBA players with at least 10 attempts per game. And he shot 3-for-15 Monday as the Mavericks backed off and dared him to shoot. But Smart's 3 with 1:24 to play in the game put Boston within 96-94. . Boston shot just 10-for-34 over the two middle quarters after building the early lead. ... The game was a homecoming for Boston rookie Semi Ojeleye, who played college basketball at SMU in Dallas.

European people to the United States, Trumpeter Swan feathers, quills, down and skins were quickly commodified, being used for everything from the manufacturing of pens to powder puffs and bedding. By 1932, the US population outside of Alaska was estimated to number just 69 birds.
Today, the central Alaskan population numbers some 15,000 birds and winters from southeastern Alaska along coastal British Columbia south to the mouth of the Columbia River on the southern border of Washington State. Although migratory, this population is relatively short-distant in movement. Away from Alaska, Trumpeter Swans are found in mixed migratory/non-migratory populations across the Great Basin region of Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota and Minnesota (known as the Interior population) while a further 2,000 or more reside in Canada. A mostrecent population survey suggested 1,469 individuals in the Interior in September 1997.
Over the last decade, various reintroduction programmes have been initiated along the East Coast, centred primarily around the Great Lakes region. As many as 800 birds are now established in the southern part of Ontario but their movements are largely sedentary or short-distance.
The 2010 Census
A comprehensive count took place in the summer of 2010 resulting with the Central, Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways achieving respective totals of 9,809 and 9,236 individuals, increases of up to 111% on 2005 figures. Of the 9,809 birds counted, 7,154 were adult and 2,655 sub-adult.

A 'wheatear' was first seen on the beach at Seaton Snook (County Durham/Cleveland) by a novice birdwatcher on Saturday 22 November 2014 but after it was

subsequently seen next day by local guy Gary Flakes (who sensibly tweeted as such on his twitter feed), top county birders Chris Bell and Tom Francis visited the site expecting to find a Desert Wheatear. What they both didn't expect to find was they they were faced with a very pallid, long-legged, long-billed and staunchly upright individual - very quickly confirmed as County Durham's first-ever ISABELLINE WHEATEAR!!
The bird was showing exceptionally well on the sandy beach, either side of the end of Zinc Works Road in Seaton Carew, and remained on view until dusk on the Sunday allowing some 25 or so local birders to connect. Despite a clear and frosty night, it survived until next day and was still present on Wednesday 26th when I finally decidedto make the pilgrimage.
Being a first-winter, the bird was surprisingly 'warm' for an Isabelline Wheatear, being tinged with warm buff in the flanks, and quite sullied on the underparts with some colour on the supercilium. Such individuals are quite tricky but this bird can be safely distinguished from Northern Wheatear on a number of characters, most noticeably the black alula feathers contrasting with the much paler upper wing coverts and rest of the wing, the broad black tail band, the long, pointed bill and in flight, the pale underwing. Supplementary characters include the thin supercilia extending behind the eye, the broad, dark, well-defined loral area, the pale ear-covert patch and the lankier appearance.
Additionally, often considered diagnostic (eg, by Lars Svensson & Keith Vinicombe) is the relative position of

but once again, the key to the game for me was the Giants jumping out to the early lead, albeit by just a run. We saw what happens when they get behind early on Monday, and then we saw the complete 180 turnaround Tuesday. The Giants definitely had their offense clicking on all cylinders in game two, and the bottom of the order really stuck out. Their 6-8 hitters combined to go 7-12 and drove in 4 runs. Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt each had 3-hit games and Belt led the team with 3 RBI and missed two home runs by a combined 18-inches.
Another huge step for the Giants Tuesday night came before the game even started, as Bruce bochy got to pencil in the lineup he'd beenenvisioning since the trade deadline acquisitions of Marco Scutaro and Hunter Pence. Pablo Sandoval made his return to the starting lineup and although he didn't do a whole bunch himself, you could see the ripple effect his return had on this team. Bochy said before the game that he'd likely stick with Tuesday's batting order on most nights for the rest of the season, with Cabrera and Posey sticking at 3 and 4, Pablo moving into the fifth spot and Pence dropping to 6. I think the move takes some pressure of Pence, who had really been pressing since the deal, and it will eventually pay off for Panda as well to have #8 protecting him in the order. Boch also said Marco Scutaro will take over as

A psychology degree can open doors of understanding that will benefit students later in their career. A second reason is to further enhance the psychology degree. A student who plans to pursue neuropsychology might benefit from undergraduate training in both psychology and biology. A student with a plan to enter the field of industrial and organization psychology would benefit from a dual degree in business and psychology. By broadening your educational plan to include two majors, it might help to open doors in terms of graduate training and career paths.
Will It Take Longer To Earn A Dual Degree?
Most colleges and universities throughout the United States are very willing to allow students to dual major. Because it is a

Latafale Auva’a
– Courage, inspirational and true beauty
By Mata'afa Keni Lesa
By now, the story of Latafale Auva’a has been well told.
The young Law and Music student at the University of Otago is a former Miss Samoa, former Miss Pacific Islands and most recently became the most popular Pacific representative on the world stage when she represented Samoa at the Miss World in China. At the time, there were countless wonderful tributes to her commitment, perseverance and how she overcame the odds to be an inspiration to thousands of Samoan women all over the world.
INSPIRATIONAL: Miss Wolrd Samoa, Latafale Auva'a
But none more personal, touching and accurate than a post by oneof her friends, Karla Lua'ao Leota, of Island Thrift, on her Facebook page. It captures and depicts Latafale’s journey perfectly.
It reads: “She chose to postpone her degree and try out a beauty contest, she chose to play at the Pacific Games instead of staying to greet the All Blacks, and she chose to go to Sanya, China and compete against over a hundred girls in the Miss World contest instead of giving her crown away at the 2016 Miss Pacific Islands."
“Now she has held 4 crowns, a silver and gold medal, she has made the live shows for the Miss World, and has made the top numbers for almost if not all the categories including 4th in the latest sports challenge!"
“Life is always going to throw you choices,

Faleomavaega Vincent Fepulea’i
- For the love of country and the game of rugby
By David De Lorean
If there is one word that describes Faleomavaega Vincent Fepulea’i, it would have to be “passionate”. He has lived and breathed rugby his entire life, and since February has directed that passion into helping the embattled Samoa Rugby Union (S.R.U.), during one oflife in Samoa.
He was initially educated here, first at the Marist school, then at Chanel College.
Faleomavaega and his family then, like many Samoans, made the move over to New Zealand, where they settled in the capital city, Wellington.
He attended St. Patrick’s College in Wellington, before heading off to Europe for a couple of years for his big O.E. (overseas experience).
But Samoa was still home, and in 1992 Faleomavaega permanently returned to local shores, got married, and found work.
The whole time, rugby was on his mind.
Faleomavaega made the St. Patrick’s College first XV in 1983, something he said was a huge boost for his rugby aspirations.
“I think we only had one loss and one draw in the whole season,” he said, remembering his days on the rugby field at

ensured the S.R.U. worked closely with the Samoa Tourism Authority as preparations for the Manu Samoa vs. All Blacks match progressed.
He got the New Zealand High Commission on board as well, to help offset some of the massive costs of the event.
“We wanted to make sure we were putting on something fitting for the number one team in the world.”
As preparations continued, Faleomavaega said player safety was the biggest concern of the New Zealand Rugby Union and All Blacks management, especially since it was a Rugby World Cup year.
“I think their (All Blacks) demands were very high and we met them head on, with the assistance of the government.”
Apia Park had to be up to scratch, and that took a lot of time, money and effort doing theS.H.C. which was certainly once viewed as the poor relation amongst the larger financial institutions.
It has largely been during her tenure from 2005 to the present day, that this previously small and largely unknown Corporation, which was set up in 1990, has really come to the fore.
Prior to moving to the Corporation, Matautia spent many years working in various positions at the larger Development Bank of Samoa.
And before that, she had graduated with a degree in Economics from Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand. Even in those early days, there were already signs of her natural leadership skills in the social and professional circles.
But it is 2015 in particular that stands out as a time to look back in terms of change, growth and development both locally and globally.

life building.
He spent his formative years on the Wetzell Family Siusega Cocoa Plantation.
“I enjoyed it, I made my own carts, I made my own wheelbarrows, I made my own slingshot from a guava branch,” said Tupua, reminiscing about his childhood.
He attended Apia Primary at Leifiifi from 1938 to 1945, and then underwent one of the biggest changes of his life to that point, by moving to New Zealand.
His family ended up heading to the North Island, and Tupua found himself attending Porongahao Secondary School in Hawkes Bay, then Napier Boys High School.
Once he finished up at school, he was awarded an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic at John Andrew Ford Motor Company in Auckland, New Zealand.
Over the course of the next decade, he travelled between New Zealand andlater found, after the complaint was submitted with the Office of the Special Project Facilitator, that they had a case.
A six-member team was sent to Samoa late last year for three weeks to investigate the complaint. Meetings were held in Upolu and Savai’i and with prominent people in the civil service who were involved with the first round of consultations.
A Roundtable meeting was held and attended by the four matais, with representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development. The Customary Land Advisory Committee (C.L.A.C.) was also represented.
The fight is far from over but Fiu is adamant that they will not give up.

for the Pacific delegation to the first ever Summit on climate change for Indigenous Peoples held in Anchorage Alaska in 2009. He has represented the Pacific Indigenous Peoples in a number of conferences and authored a number of critical critiques of these global processes receiving wide coverage in Samoan and Pacific media avenues.
Prior to O.L.S.S.I, Fiu worked with United Nations Development Programme (U.N.D.P) in Samoa from 1993 to 2001.
He was responsible for the Global Environment Facility (G.E.F) and was closely involved with the South Pacific Regional Environment Programe (S.P.R.E.P) and other environmental partners in the implementation of environment programmes around Samoa and the Pacific Island countries.
Before joining U.N.D.P, Fiu was the Director of the Department of Lands, Surveys and Environment.
He was one of the official government representatives whothe idea into public conversation propels it forward until people finally find it palatable (hello, Snap Spectacles).
"The criticism of the Democrats in the past is that they were too timid. They ran on consultant-driven platitudes and didn't offer a compelling enough vision," Khanna told me as he sipped cappuccino from a paper cup inside New York's Chelsea Market building one crisp morning in March. "As we saw with this election, people are attracted to bold clear ideas."
But the boldest part of Khanna's plan isn't merely what it will cost a budget-conscious Congress. According to the Tax Policy Center, which assisted Khanna in crafting this bill, this plan would compensate the bottom 20 percent of earners for wage stagnation dating back to 1979.

AccuWeather announced its expansion into China, Chinese hackers were implicated in a 2014 hacking incident that knocked out NOAA's satellite data dissemination. In other words, the nominee to lead NOAA is doing business with the country suspected of hacking the agency.

AccuWeather, based in State College, Pennsylvania, entered into the 20-year agreement with the Huafeng Media Group, a commercial weather media company wholly owned by the China Meteorological Administration, a government entity.
Through this partnership, AccuWeather and Huafeng set up the Huafeng-AccuWeather (Beijing) Co., Ltd., whose mission is to "advance, enhance, share, and distribute weather forecasts" from AccuWeather for locations across China.
According to a 2015 press release announcing the partnership, the joint venture would include other arrangements to distribute weather information through other Chinesewebsite weather.com, also conducts activities in China, but does not have nearly as extensive a meteorology operation in the country as AccuWeather does, according to a spokesperson for The Weather Company.
When it was announced, AccuWeather claimed that the joint venture makes it, "the only company sanctioned under the new Meteorological Law of China to distribute a full and detailed set of official weather information and forecasts of the China Meteorological Administration and the unique forecasting techniques and Chinese patents of AccuWeather."
Myers is quoted in the release as saying:
AccuWeather is pleased to introduce a groundbreaking endeavor with China to serve the China market.
AccuWeather's technical and meteorological innovations, including our unique forecasting products and longer-range forecasts, will provide new value to the people of China. We are committed to providing

forecasts with Superior Accuracy that offer the most innovative weather information available, helping people in all parts of the world to make informed decisions, protect their property and business interest and protect the lives of citizens.
The Chinese market is massive, and the growing population and increasing popularity of mobile devices there offer tantalizing prospects for weather information providers such as AccuWeather.
But there is one big problem in having a NOAA nominee who was the CEO of a company that struck such a deal: The China Meteorological Agency (CMA) is a government entity, just as the National Weather Service (NWS) is in the U.S.
Not only that, but the Chinese government has also been implicated in cyberattacks on U.S. critical infrastructure, including NOAA's own systems in 2014, the year beforeAccuWeather inked its deal.
According to the Washington Post, hackers based in China breached federal weather systems pertaining to satellites and other critical infrastructure. The attack on web servers led to a satellite data outage, affecting millions of U.S. users of weather information and partners abroad. While Chinese officials denied any involvement in the incident, then-Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia told the Post that the attack was of Chinese origin. (Wolf was a key player in cybersecurity and NOAA oversight at the time.)

MONTAGNE: And is that likely to work though? Will the talk of impeachment give way so House Republicans can focus on the lawsuit?
ROBERTS: Well, it certainly doesn't seem to be stopping Sarah Palin, who's calling for impeachment. But there was a poll published in the Wall Street Journal last week saying more Americans are tired of hearing from her than any other past politician. And Speaker Boehner's probably chief among them.

Writer and Director John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles, California takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together in the "hood". Half-brothers Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky Baker (Morris Chestnut) are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the "All-American" athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while Doughboy succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Between these two is their friend Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who is lucky to have a father, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne), to teach him to have the strength of characterNICKELODEON TREATS VIEWERS TO CHILLS AND THRILLS WITH SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN-THEMED PREMIERES BEGINNING MONDAY, OCTOBER 8 Lineup Includes Series Premiere of The Bureau of Magical Things and All-New Episodes of Double Dare, Henry Danger, Knight Squad, PAW Patrol, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House and More NEW YORK-Sept. 27, 2018-Nickelodeon is getting into the Halloween spirit, with a month-long lineup of hauntingly good premieres from its live-action, animation and preschool series.

Inside Trump’s war on the investigations encircling him
For two years, President Trump has waged a very public assault on federal law enforcement over the various investigations that have consumed his presidency, including the special counsel’s inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election. But an examination by The New York Times reveals the extent of more secretive maneuvers.
When federal prosecutors in New York began investigating Mr. Trump’s role in paying women hush money during the 2016 campaign, the president asked his acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, to give control of the inquiry to a Trump ally who had already recused himself. Mr. Trump called that account “fake news.”
Here are takeaways from our investigation.
How we know: Times reporters interviewed dozens of current and former government officials and others closeTUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico (AP) — Authorities in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas say at least 25 Central American migrants died when the truck they were traveling in overturned.
The Chiapas state prosecutor’s office said in a statement late Thursday that 29 others were injured in the accident. It appears the driver lost control of the truck around 6 p.m. near the town of Francisco Sarabia in the municipality of Soyalo.
The injured were transported to hospitals as authorities investigated the cause of the crash.
In a statement, Guatemala’s foreign ministry said 23 of those killed were Guatemalan migrants.
