from the M5 motorway - junction 25 (4 miles) and junction 26 (6 miles). For those who are reliant on public transport a local bus, with a stop at the foot of the garden, provides a daytime service to and from the town centre.
The lovely town centre provides excellent shopping and county cricket, horse racing, golf and other leisure facilities are all available nearby. Taunton has a good selection of restaurants and wine bars to suit most tastes and the surrounding countryside offers many delightful pubs which serve excellent food.
There is ample car parking space in the private grounds together with lockable cycle storage in the stables.

For an individual with autism, landing a first job can be a struggle. Bryan Siravo spent four years in vocational school learning skills such as information technology and repair of casino equipment. Despite at least 15 job interviews, he couldn’t find work. He came to the Dan Marino Foundation in 2011 for a summer internship, and later enrolled in an information technology program there. He learned etiquette and interview skills while doing coursework toward a Microsoft certification. The foundation’s staff helped him land internships with an insurance company and a trophy manufacturer. Finally, in 2014, he got a job working part-time at a storage facility.
Siravo says he didn’t mind the long commute by bus, or the fact that his role was closer to maintenance

than information technology, but he notes that there were some difficult adjustments nonetheless. He and his supervisor “sort of had tiffs,” Siravo says. “She thought I was using my disability to make excuses, which I never do.”
Siravo was ready to quit, until Steffen Lue, a career services manager at the foundation, intervened. This issue came down to communication, Lue says: Siravo needed a set schedule, and his manager needed him to report back to her. Not only was the issue resolved, but Lue says the two “became best friends.” (The manager agrees.) When the foundation hired Siravo in 2015 to do tech support for its virtual interview program, people at the storage facility joked that the foundation had “stolen” their employee.
The program Siravo attended has evolved into aschool called the Marino Campus, where students pay tuition for 10 months of classes in hospitality, retail or information technology, culminating in national-level certification exams. At the same time, they learn social and workplace skills, practice interviewing with both people and digital avatars, and go through two internships.
Staff members make sure students apply classroom skills during their internships, something people with autism often find difficult to do. Job coaches also help them figure out bus schedules, address family issues and role-play interviews. With clients on the spectrum, Lue says, it can be hard to predict all the topics to cover. He recalls picking up one client to drive him to an interview, only to discover that the young man had dressed in his lucky wizard outfit.

Why do parents decide against immunization? The effect of health beliefs and health professionals.
To explore the knowledge, attitudes and concerns with respect to immunization and vaccine-preventable infections in parents whose children have not completed the recommended course of immunization. Parents of children resident in the London Borough of Hackney. Children born between 1 January 1999 and 15 February 1999 were identified from the child health database, and cases were defined as those who had defaulted for one or more primary immunization by 18 months of age. After validation of immunization status from health records, questionnaires were sent to parents. Ten respondents from this sample were interviewed. Questionnaires were sent to 129 parents of children identified as not completing the recommended immunization course. Nine questionnaires were returned 'address unknown',Gigapans

"They wanted to take the car out for a spin and Malibu was the perfect destination," the eyewitness told E! News. "[The friends] all came over and admired the car."
"As they were leaving, Travis shielded Kylie and asked her if she needed any help," the eyewitness said. "He led them back to the car and Kylie's security helped her get in. She seemed very excited about the car and loving the ride with Travis at the wheel. She was looking over at him as they drove off with a sweet smile on her face."
After months of pregnancy speculation, the 20-year-old youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling confirmed the birth news on social media that she'd welcomed a child a few days prior. During her pregnancy,Kylie had stayed away from social media almost completely in the months leading up to Stormi's birth.
But, since she let the world in on her baby news, the social media star has been posting up a storm (pun intended) of her life as a mom.
Similarly, the reality star had not been photographed out in public for months before giving birth, however, she's been spotted around Los Angeles on multiple occasions in recent weeks, as has Travis—just not together.
E! News previously reported that the rapper has completely fallen in love with being a dad.
"Travis is in love. He says his baby girl is a blessing and he is so grateful she is healthy," a source shared with E! News. "Travis is on baby duty and helping Kylie."

the ordinance.
The legislation specifies that only those organizations that have previously sponsored a recurring annual event, have previously applied for city permits, and have had a history of illegal pot sales at previous events will be allowed to apply for a permit. Applicants for the new permits must first gain approval from the state, before filing an application with the city. In addition to state and city approval, the organizations must also obtain waivers from any other city agency that has jurisdiction over the event, which could include the Recreation and Parks Department and the Department of Public Health.
When the ordinance was discussed at the board's February 27 committee meeting, more than a dozen people testified in support of the plan.
Among those testifying was Patrick Finger, executive directorof Folsom Street Events, who said that approval of the ordinance would be useful for events such as the annual Folsom Street Fair and Up Your Alley street fair by providing additional sources of revenue, since the costs for producing such events continue to increase.
Terrance Alan, the chair of the San Francisco State Cannabis Legalization Task Force, also testified in favor of the ordinance. Alan said at the hearing that the task force's final report, issued in December 2018, included a recommendation that "a local license permit type should be created" for temporary events.
The proposal to create permits was made possible by Assembly Bill 2020, which went into effect January 1 and gave cities in California the authority to approve temporary cannabis events, Mandelman said in a prepared

Drupal patches toWhen Hurricane Katrina struck on August 28, 2005, the urban fabric of New Orleans was devastated, including a large number of its arts organizations and historic sites. Along with the physical damage to collections and structures caused by the storm, organizations were faced with the fact that post-Katrina New Orleans would be a very different place, one with a changed demographic and far less tourism, and thus business as usual was not going to be possible. The Getty Foundation was among the first institutions to step in and help, establishing a special fund to revitalize the city's cultural institutions as they recovered from the impact of the hurricane.
The Foundation's Fund for New Orleans provided support in two categories: transition planning grants to strengthen cultural organizations as they responded

Projects ranged from an archeological dig at the Cathedral's St. Anthony's Garden, which unearthed evidence dating back to the city's founding in 1718 and provided a basis for a new conservation plan, to audience surveys of the New Orleans Cultural Coalitiona group of seven arts organizations that came together to analyze the city's past and present arts audiences as they developed new post-Katrina programming and business plans.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Dozens of Somali extremists wielding automatic weapons attacked a small Kenyan coastal town for hours, assaulting the police station, setting two hotels on fire, and spraying bullets into the street. At least 48 people were killed, officials said Monday.
The assault began around 8 p.m. local time on Sunday night as town residents were watching World Cup matches on TV. The attack met little resistance from the country's security apparatus, and lasted until early Monday morning.
Authorities blamed al-Shabab, Somalia's al-Qaida-linked terror group.
Kenya's top police commander, David Kimaiyo, said the death toll was 48. Another police commander said that as residents were watching the World Cup at the Breeze View Hotel, the gunmen pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch as they killed

doors closed and the bay re-pressurized, the inner airlock opened and Vice Admiral Duque Maximilian Vertrant, the commandant of the High Ground, rushed in. He was still buttoning the final button on the coat of his dress uniform while his ceremonial saber flailed around his knees, almost tripping him.
Mercedes unplugged the helmet from the couch and set it aside. She rose, stretched, and moved slowly to the airlock. Once it opened and the ramp lowered, she strolled out. Vertrant's eyes flicked across her attire. Not the gown of an FFH lady or the elegant lines of the dress blues. Instead she wore a working officer's day fatigues. His pursed mouth became even smaller as his lips tightened. When she reached him, she found herself looking down into hislate. He had vanished from her life years ago.
Her reveries and regrets were interrupted by Ganguly choking out, "Anything in particular you wanted to see, ma'am?"
"Pretty much everything," she said cheerfully. More sweat popped out on Ganguly's forehead.
When they reached Vertrant's office Mercedes immediately circled behind the desk and took the commandant's chair. The action knocked him even more off balance. For a few minutes they made small talk about families. From childhood it had been drilled into Mercedes to remember details about noble families. That didn't mean she was above reviewing those details before she met with individuals. She had done that for both Vertrant and Ganguly. At least this time she only had to memorize the names, sexes, and ages of the spawn and spouses

He also didn't miss the way her expression hardened as she gazed at him. It was going to be one of _those_ sessions. The fact he didn't stand forced her to cross to him. Her eyes flicked to the various servants who had appeared and were pulling out her chair, holding her napkin, entering with plates. She leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He turned so his lips were against her ear and whispered, "I see the niceties still must be observed before the staff."
"Don't make me rethink that," she whispered back. She took thescenes to keep the frontline troops fighting, or at least ready to fight. Boho was pretty sure they were discussing Mercedes. He considered rounding the corner and confronting them, but decided to hold back and continue listening.

The government said Tuesday it will spend 7.2 trillion won ($6.3 billion) to reduce fine dust emissions by 30 percent from the current levels by 2022.
"We have had many measures to improve air quality," said Environment Vice-Minister Ahn Byeong-ok. "But they failed because they were sporadic, unable to bring about comprehensive change. That is what we are aiming at in these plans."
President Moon Jae-in made the 30-percent reduction pledge during his campaign, and kicked off a special task force to devise comprehensive plans after his inauguration.
Overall, the Moon administration's package appears quite ambitious. Compared to the former President Park Geun-hye's plans, the reduction target is 16 percent higher — Park's plans aimed at a 14 percent reduction by 2021.
If the plans are implemented successfully, the numberof days with the average particulate matter (PM) concentration at more than 50 micrometers per square meter, categorized as "bad," will be 78 by 2022, down from 258 last year. Also, Seoul's daily average PM concentration is projected to be 18 micrometers in 2022, down from 26 last year.
The most notable measure from Tuesday's announcement is to shut down seven coal-fired power plants that have operated for more than 30 years.
Moon already tested this by shutting them down temporarily in June. The temporary shutdown will continue every year at five coal power plants between March and June until 2022 when they will be gone for good.
To cope with possible electricity shortages, the government said it will offer policy support to increase the share of renewable energy by 20

percent of its energy mix by 2030 — in 2015, it was 6.4 percent. Electricity shortages are a common concern for those, mostly in the energy industry, who oppose the shutdown of existing power plants.
Nine coal power plants are currently under construction, and Tuesday's plan also disclosed how to manage them.
For four plants that are in the early stages of construction, the government will convert them to run on LNG, which is considered cleaner. For the other five, the government will leave them completed but will toughen monitoring of their emissions of fine dust and other pollutants.
The government also will toughen the standard for PM2.5 emissions, which are considered particularly harmful to human health, from the current 50 micrometers per square meter per day to 35 micrometers,.
The newplans will put more pressure on drivers of diesel vehicles manufactured before 2005. The government said it is aiming to remove 2.21 million old diesel vehicles from all roads, accounting for almost 77 percent.
They will include many school buses that mostly run on diesel. According to the plans, the government will provide financial support for the conversion of 2,600 public and private buses to cleaner engines this year and next year.
At the same time, the government will continue its push for the spread of electric and hydrogen powered vehicles, with the goal of having 2 million on the roads by 2022. To meet the challenge of charging, it will build 10,000 speed charger stations on highways, at apartments and in shopping malls.

to put air pollution on the agenda of the heads of state summits between Moon and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Currently, the two country's environment ministers hold talks regularly on the topic, as well as at annual trilateral meetings among China, Japan and Korea.

In order to determine the role of the lymphatic vessels in the subsidence of the edema after replantation of the amputated lim the stage of regeneration of lymphatic vessels was studied by 2 ways: lymphangiography and 198Au colloid scinti-scanning with the chronological measurement of the circumference at the thigh and legs of hind limbs from 15 adult dogs which were replanted after the complete amputation. As the results, edema gradually increased after the operation with the maximal rates on the seventh day at the thigh and on the sixth day at the leg. On the other hand, the earliest regeneration of lymphatic vessels at the proximal site of the transection was seen by

were told that was impossible. But we managed to find another suitable starter, and main course for everyone.
While waiting for it to be cooked LMD fed her stuffed Tasha doll some bread. She asked me to cut Tasha her own piece - I didn't understand quickly enough and she wailed "cut it mummy". Immediately the chef sormed out of the kitchen, and asked us to make her quiet. By the time he arrived at the table she was already calming down as I cut her piece of bread up! I reckon she wailed for maybe a maximum of 30 seconds. there were NO OTHER customers in the restuarnat at the time.
i thought it was a bit rude, but ignored chef, and soon the food arrived. It was nice.maybe not £60 worth of nice, but nice.
A few more customers arrived - one other family with two small children, an older couple and two men drinking at the bar. The waiter came over - I thought he was asking of the food was OK, as it had been served only 10 mins earlier (and his English was not good), but infact he was asking if he could take the plates away. LMB had decided not to eat hers, and Aggie had finished as I was busy sorting out LMD I had barely started. he cleared LMB's & Aggies plate away while we were still eating. then came back for the glasses - almost snatching them out of LMD's hand, and loitering until I I shovelled the rest

of my food in and let him take my plate too.
Once her plate was gone, LMD gt down from the table, and promptly bumped her head. She cried. Obviously. She's two! I picked her up and gave her a cuddle. By the time she made it onto my lap chef was there telling us to shut her up and she was disrupting the whole restuarant. Again, she cried for a maximum of 30 seconds. As far as I could see, no-one else noticed.
Overall, I never been made to feel so unwelcome in any establishment, ever. The Mask of Venice is a place to be avoided at all costs if you have children, or even just want to chat and have a laugh with a group of friends. Ito get a couple of names out of her today and spoke to the staff, so hopefully that ill be an end to it. She's only got two more weeks there, then we're off on holiday and she's staying off to do some fun things before starting big school, so i want them to be good weeks.
LMD finally caught chicken pox - yesterday 1000's of spots suddenly appeared all over her. Literally1000's and literally all over - she's got over 100 on her face poor love! In her usual awkward way she waited pretty much the full incubation period before getting it, she couldn't have it at the same tiem as LMB! Which means Aggie has to have another week off his groovy drugs. His skin's getting quite

he had been abused and it was fun to see him overcome that. Muttley looked like the TV dog Benji. And yes, his name came from the cartoon strip with Dick Dastardly and his sidekick dog, Muttley.
So you know Muttley was not a big dog. He might have weighed 12 pounds on the best day of his life. But when Libby joined our family, Muttley was the big dog. She was a puppy. And even when she weighed 80 pounds her view of him never changed. If he growled, she ran. When Muttley went somewhere Libby followed close behind. He always ate first. She stood back. He would eat a little bit. Then she would scarf up everything. The fact was, she could have scarfed him up.

Elsewhere, moviegoers have had a few weeks to dissect Nolan's grandiose space movie Interstellar, which has been a box-office success while proving critically divisive, not least because of the director's notoriously overwrought scripting.

Are the scientists from "The Jameson Satellite" by Neil R. Jones based on real-world scientists?
"The Jameson Satellite" by Neil R. Jones (1931), which is possibly the first instance of transhumanism in fiction (according to this answer by user14111), has Prof. Jameson trying to escape death by having his body preserved in a rocket "satellite" orbiting around Earth for all eternity, until he is found millions of years later by the Zoromes, a species of space travelling aliens who replaced their flesh-and-blood bodies by machines, only keeping their brains.
In this story, the titular protagonist refers twice to two scientists "of his day".

refer to the 20th century, when the story is set 40 million years in the future - 1930 was certainly more "Jameson's day" than the year 40,001,958!
A:
On the theory that Neil R. Jones probably read the magazines he wrote for, I figured that a likely place to find his source for those factoids would be in the early issues of Amazing Stories. Sure enough, I found a plausible source for the first one. On p. 925 of Amazing Stories, January 1928 (available at the Internet Archive), in an essay titled "Our Unstable World", editor-publisher Hugo Gernsback wrote:
After every major upheaval, of course, all traces of
civilization are wiped out completely. Such an upheaval
may be so tremendous, as to turn everything from the
only a ridiculously small fraction of time in the life
of our Planet. It is at the rate of a thousandth of a
second as compared to the beginning of the human era.
In other words it is practically nothing.
Gernsback cites no scientific authorities in this essay. Therefore, if this is indeed Jones's source for that "50,000 years" factoid, then his "eminent scientist" seems to be Hugo Gernsback himself, which in my view is overpraising him.
Gernsback's essay was reprinted in Science Fiction Classics, Winter 1967 and again in Amazing Stories, May 1979; the former is available at the Internet Archive.

Reigns solely in the breast of every man:
For now sits Expectation in the air,
And hides a sword from

With crowns imperial, crowns and coronets,
Promised to Harry and his followers.
Fire answers fire,
And steed threatens steed,
in high and boastful neighs
Piercing the night's dull ear.
Then should the warlike

Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds,

Crouch for employment.
But when the blast of

Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature
with hard-favour'd rage.

The buildings have received an Energy Star design certification. Its expected energy use is a reduction of 44 percent compared with an average building of similar type.
Design awards
The new building received the international annual design award of the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International for 2010, the James D. MacConnell Award for outstanding new educational facilities.
In 2011 the new school was recognized as one of ten "Schools of the 21st Century – The Latest Thinking and Best Ideas on the Planning and Design of K-12 School Buildings", by Architectural Record magazine.
Former location
The former Lynnwood High School, located at 3001 184th St SW, was vacant from 2009 to 2015. Demolition of the old high school began on August 3, 2010.
The site is planned to be redevelopedThis fall, two important meetings moved the Pacific Northwest and the nation closer to the eventuality of Small Modular Reactors on the grid, and to building those SMRs in new manufacturing facilities. One meeting took place in Washington state and the other in Washington D.C. The NuScale Power SMR, born of Oregon State University, was featured at both meetings.
Energy Northwest is part of the SMR initiative: The first commercial NuScale reactors are scheduled to be installed in Idaho with the power going to the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (based in Salt Lake City), and Energy Northwest acting as the first operator. Hopefully, this will be the first of many SMRs to be installed throughout the country.

The White House organized the Washington D.C. meeting and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to nuclear energy. The fact sheet for the White House Summit is titled: Obama Administration Announces Actions to Ensure that Nuclear Energy Remains a Vibrant Component of the United States’ Clean Energy Strategy.
Why? The fact sheet makes clear what some are still reluctant to understand:
Nuclear power, which in 2014 generated about 60 percent of carbon-free electricity in the United States, continues to play a major role in efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the power sector. As America leads the global transition to a low-carbon economy, the continued development of new and advanced nuclear technologies along with support for currently operating nuclear power plants is an important component of our clean energy strategy.
To summarize, nuclearReport from last year (issued in December) some of the members of the Task Force toured NuScale Power in November 2014.
The Washington State Task Force is an on-going effort, and far more focused than the Washington D.C. Summit Meeting, which seems to have been a one-time event. The DC meeting was a very nice one-time event, because of the support shown for SMRs, but without the virtues of a task force.
In the document above, you can see that the Washington State Task Force reviews many aspects of developing SMRs, both technical aspects and the possible benefits of new manufacturing in Washington state.
The Washington D.C. meeting did not include any written presentations, viewgraphs or visual aids. In contrast, the Washington State Task force has an abundance of information in

son had developed problems with self‐esteem and had destructive feelings about himself. The therapist, who had been told they were churchgoers, asked their son what he thought God would say to him. Mary hesitated somewhat, because she later told us that she was accustomed to therapists who quickly moved on when spirituality was mentioned. Their feedback was that the fearless way in which the therapist addressed them was the reason they dared to talk about it; otherwise, they would never have done this. Religion had been a non‐topic in the therapy in the past. However, with this therapist their faith could be a resource, could build something new in the situation. It was difficult for the son to answer the therapist's question, and then the therapist asked hismother what she thought God would say to her son. She replied that God loved him, he was the best He has created and was perfectly good enough. Mary was impressed when the therapist in the next session used her words from the previous session as an input when he talked to her son. The therapist also explored how their relations in the church and their religious life influenced them, because he knew that these experiences also could be negative. John remembered that the therapist had told them that he was somewhat insecure in speaking about these things even though he seemed to be comfortable. The spiritual and religious perspectives were part of the changing process, and were used in a positive and respectful way.

Lori never expected in a million years to get a visit from a 4-legged feline with a bobtail and six toes on each of his front feet. This part Manx part Bengal furry friend showed up one day at Lori's front door and decided that it was a place to call home.
"He was dirty and crying out for love. We made flyers and looked around to see if anyone had posted a 'missing cat' sign but no one did." Lori named the little stray, City the Kitty and adopted him into her home.
City the Kitty is a cat with a character unlike others. He is frisky, charismatic but extremely mischeivious. "He fell into the pool when he was chasing his sister Missy," said Lori.

California is a state that has a strong belief in patient rights. It sounds like a good and reasonable theory until you talk to the mothers of severely mentally ill children.

They told us the story of their sons, both in their 30s, and their struggles to live in a system that seems to have no place for them.
Dale Milfay has tried everything to help her son, Andre. However, last January, after repeated threats of violence, Andre had an emotional outburst and attacked his mother. She tells us the story here.

the City Division of Regulatory Inspections have been complied with and a permit duly issued. The City asked for and was granted a temporary restraining order. By amended and supplemental petition, the City asked for injunction prohibiting the use of the building until all requirements of the Division of Regulatory Inspections and all requirements of Ordinances Nos. 11302 and 11125 C.C.S., both as amended have been complied with and a permit duly issued. Pittman Thea ters, Inc. was made party to the suit at the instance of the City because the name Leeco, Inc. had been changed to Pittman Theaters, Inc. The principal defense to the suit is that the building is in a safe condition and that a comprehensive plan known as the Bartholomew Plan is beingaside and the case was continued in order to afford the defendants opportunity to have a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeal and Adjustment. The hearing regarding the issuance of a preliminary injunction was later taken up and the lower court gave judgment denying the injunction. The intervenors have invoked our supervisory jurisdiction.
The defendant corporation applied, through its president, Pittman, to the City Planning and Zoning Commission, prior to the erection of the building in controversy, to have the portion of the square on which the rear of this building is now located changed from Residential "A" to Commercial "E". The application was denied on July 23, 1948, after hearing, which was approved by the Commission Council. It appears from the minutes of the City Planning and

Zoning Commission, of date September 24, 1948, that the defendants, having been refused a permit to erect a building on the "E" Commercial portion of the square because the required front and rear yard areas had not been provided, were granted a variation permitting a front yard of 10 ft. in lieu of 20 ft. and a rear yard of 12 ft. in lieu of 24 ft. After these variations were granted a net buildable depth of 98 ft. was left in the "E" Commercial area. The defendants applied for and were granted a permit to erect a building and submitted plans and specifications for a building to be erected on this "E" Commercial area. The defendants, in total disregard of the permit, erected a building extending beyondthe "E" Commercial area to approximately 60 ft. on "A" Residential area. The defendants also used portions of "A" Residential area in violation of the zoning ordinances of the City. After this suit was instituted the defendants applied to the Division of Regulatory Inspections for a permit to cover this building that they had erected in violation of the zoning law. The permit was refused on March 26, 1951. The defendants then applied to the Zoning Board of Appeal and Adjustment asking for a variation of the requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that would permit the theater building to occupy the portion of "A" Residential area and to permit reductions of the required rear yard area.

BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- China plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) and unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to inspect, repair and preserve the Great Wall.
The China Foundation For Cultural Heritage Conservation has signed an agreement with Intel Wednesday, to explore the use of AI and the company's drones in the protection of the Great Wall.
The Great Wall, a symbol of China, is actually not just one wall, but many interconnected walls built between the third century B.C. and the Ming Dynasty (1384-1644).
It faces threats from both nature and humans that make restoration difficult.
Most sections of the Great Wall were built

Geoffrey Roberts introduces us to Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov in 1976, long after he has left power. Molotov tell us, “Not often, but sometimes I dream of Stalin. In extraordinary situations. In a destroyed city. I can’t find a way out. Then I meet him, in a word, strange dreams, very confused.” Such disturbing dreams are not surprising. The twentieth century was, in many ways, the most awful time in human history: two world wars, famines, genocide and, for the latter half of the century, the specter of utter nuclear annihilation. Molotov, as premier of the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1941, Soviet foreign minister from 1939 to 1949 and again from 1953 to 1956, was more times than

War II. The Red Army followed seventeen days later, dividing Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union and paving the way for the Soviet annexations of the Baltic states, as well as the disastrous Winter War with Finland. In this way the Soviets, pursuing their own state interests, gave their own particular fuel to the fire to that conflagration. In the end they did themselves no service -- though it is still debated to what degree this respite strategy benefited them -- for in June 1941 the Germans, which had used the temporary peace with the Soviets to conquer most of Western Europe, launched one of the most murderous campaigns in human history, Operation Barbarossa -- the invasion of the Soviet Union.
Through the leadership of Stalin, and withMolotov’s diplomacy, the Soviets -- who Roberts notes did the bulk of the fighting and dying in that war (eight million military deaths and sixteen million civilians, or ten percent of the Soviet population) -- were able to defeat Hitler’s forces. The victory was in many ways pyrrhic. The Soviets went from the occupied to the occupiers in Eastern Europe. Stalin and his cadre, at the best of times viewed with suspicion, were now seen by the United States and Britain as a threat. This was not without basis, as Roberts quotes Molotov, “Sometimes it is difficult to draw a line between the desire for security and the desire for expansion.” Yet Soviet foreign policy was not operating in a vacuum. The United States was keen to stake

out its place in the postwar world -- and the development of atomic weapons were no small part of that.
The book goes against the grain in arguing Molotov, more than is largely understood, was not a simple bulwark of Cold War intransigence. It describes how, while Stalin was still alive, he fought an uphill battle to keep some semblance of the Grand Alliance together and to diminish the Cold War. Later, under Khrushchev, we learn of his efforts to broker a deal with the Western powers to the same end. He was ultimately unsuccessful, for, as Roberts notes, “his efforts to end [the Cold War] and unite a divided Europe were frustrated first by Stalin and then by Khrushchev. But Molotov’s failure to realize his vision should notblind us to the importance of his efforts.”
Regardless, after the horror of the purges (in which he, like Khrushchev, shared in the culpability), divorcing his wife when she came under Stalin’s disfavor, seeing Stalin attacked by Khrushchev, being kicked out of the Party (though he was reinstated by Leonid Brezhnev toward the end of his life), Molotov was unrepentant. In 1985 at the age of 95, he said, “In time, Stalin will be rehabilitated by history. There will be a Stalin museum in Moscow. Without fail! By popular demand.” Though he comes across like a man in the wrong defending the indefensible, things are more complicated than that. As Roberts concludes, “No simple epitaph could encompass Molotov’s life and career. But for both good and ill, he was

that you’re not criticizing him?”
Todd invited the Wisconsin Republican on to discuss his comments Friday regarding Trump’s decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine.
Johnson told reporters that a U.S. diplomat told him on Aug. 30 that the aid was contingent on Ukraine’s president opening investigations into whether Ukraine meddled in the 2016 U.S. election.
Johnson told a Wall Street Journal reporter that he was concerned about those remarks and contacted Trump to discuss. He said Trump denied to him in August that he was withholding aid to Ukraine in exchange for political favors.
When Todd asked Johnson about that at the beginning of “Meet the Press” Sunday, he sought to shift gears by suggesting that the NBC host should ask former CIA Director John Brennan a question about CIA leaksspies inside the Kremlin who reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the Russian hacking operation against Democrats during the 2016 election.
WATCH:
Johnson and Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley have sent multiple letters to the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) asking whether that office has opened investigations into the possible CIA leaks. The two Republicans renewed that letter on Oct. 2, as the ICIG became involved in the whistleblower complaint against Trump.
Todd was clearly unhappy with the direction of the interview.
“I have no idea why … a Fox News conspiracy propaganda stuff is popping up on here,” the host said.
Todd lost it after Johnson criticized the media for ignoring the significant of Strzok’s text.
Todd has long downplayed allegations that U.S. government agencies like the CIA and FBI did anything

Moral Minority: Interview with David Swartz on the evangelical left (Part 1)
Brantley Gasaway
Today I am pleased to post the first of a two-part interview with David Swartz, author of the newly releasedMoral Minority: The Evangelical Left in an Age of Conservatism (University of Pennsylvania Press). David is an assistant professor in the History Department at Asbury University in Kentucky, and he began this project while working with George Marsden at Notre Dame.
I first encountered David's work just after each of us defended our dissertation on the evangelical left in 2008. You can imagine our surprise—and initial consternation!—to discover that another scholar was working on the same general topic with many of the same materials. But as we communicated and read each other's work, it became clear that ourstudies would be complementary rather than directly competing or conflicting. My own forthcoming book analyzes the public theology that inspired the political positions and persistent activism of progressive evangelical leaders from the 1960s through the present. David's book analyzes the genealogy of the evangelical left beginning in the mid-twentieth century; its trials in the 1970s and 1980s; and why, despite initial promise, it failed to take substantial shape electorally as the Religious Right rose in prominence. As the first scholarly treatment of the evangelical left, Moral Minority is already receiving lots of attention (see, for example, Molly Worthen's review in the New York Times). I'm pleased that David took time to answer these questions. Come back tomorrow for the second part of the interview.Brantley Gasaway (BG): Many people

The Day of the Dead is a celebration of loved one who have passed on. The holiday has an amazing aesthetic featuring brightly colored skulls, flowers, friends, family, and good food & drink. My original pieces were created for a Dia de los Muertos themed show in Alexandria, VA. After that first show, I expanded the series. Most of my work is centered around creating archetypes for each of the skulls. As time went on, I began to experiment with different sizes & typesNews. The injection was given on the ninth day after the injury, considered the most effectual timing, and the monkey started to move its limbs again within two to three weeks, Okano said.
"After six weeks, the animal had recovered to the level where it was jumping around," he told AFP. "It was very close to the normal level."
Scientists say the use of human developing stem cells as a treatment for cancer and other diseases holds great promise, but the process has drawn fire from religious conservatives and others who be in opposition to it.
Embryonic stem cell research is contentious because human embryos are destroyed in order to obtain the cells capable of developing into almost every tissue of the body.

“Imran, on the other hand, had been living in Delhi since 2005 and had done his three-year aircraft engineering course from Sangmer near Jaipur (Rajasthan). Presently, he was looking for a job.”
His elder brother, a Pakistan trained militant, was arrested in Punjab, on the India-Pakistan border, in 1990 with a huge amount of fake currency, the DCP said.
Both were allegedly working under the guidance of their commander, Furkan, in Kashmir. In the last week of October 2006, information was received that a militant of Pak-based militant organisation LeT by the code name “Khalid”had set up his base in Delhi for procuring and diverting funds through Hawala channels for terrorist activities, the officer said.
“After the arrest, we took them on police remand and were conducting raids to apprehend their other associates,” he added.

Adding to the citizens’ woes were two rallies by the BJP to protest the ‘delay’ in executing Parliament attack convict Mohd Afzal Guru and the government’s ‘handling of the security situation’.
The rallies, attended by thousands of activists of the saffron party, began from Rajghat and Birla Mandir respectively and converged on Jantar Mantar, throwing traffic out of gear on its way.
People spent hours reaching their destinations as there were jams on Ring Road, in and

Faced with a barrage of criticism over the tardy regulation of traffic, the police department here has urged the public to put forward suggestions about tackling the problem at an interface held today to discuss the issue.
The police also reminded the public of their duty to uphold a robust traffic system on the occasion.
To reinforce the reminder, the police had invited the Congress MLA from Gurgaon, Mr Dharamvir Gauba, in the programme.
Representatives of Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs), social organisations and rickshaw-pullers also took part in the event.
Although the event was an all-out police initiative, members of the Civil Administration did take part in it.
The Inspector General of Police, Gurgaon Range, who was present on the occasion along with the district SSP urged residents tocooperate with the police to ensure better traffic control.
He said that they could contact him or the district police chief directly if necessary.
The MLA however upbraided the public for remembering their rights, but being oblivious of their duties to follow the traffic rules.
The members of the public meanwhile alleged that in main markets like Sadar Bazaar, the shopkeepers have encroached on roads, making the movement of vehicles almost impossible. Besides, ‘rehris’ and three-wheelers park on the roads in a haphazard manner.
A decision was taken that the police and the members of the public should visit troublesome spots in the city to suggest remedial measures. In the first three days, they would visit Mall areas on Gurgaon-Mehrauli Road, Hero Honda Chowk on the national highway and Sadar Bazaar.

Thomas R. Marshall
Thomas R. Marshall, (born March 14, 1854, North Manchester, Ind., U.S.—died June 1, 1925, Washington, D.C.), 28th vice president of the United States (1913–21) in the Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson. He was the first vice president in almost a century to serve two terms in office. A popular public official, he was heard to make the oft-quoted remark: “What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar.”
Marshall was the son of Daniel M. Marshall, a physician, and Martha Patterson. Graduating from Wabash College in 1873, he was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1875 and practiced law for almost 35 years in Columbia City (1875–1909). A forceful and entertaining speaker, he was elected governor of Indiana in 1908 and during the next fouryears sponsored an extensive program of progressive social legislation. Largely because of his record in office, his name was presented as a favourite-son candidate for president at the DemocraticNational Convention of 1912. After Wilson won the nomination on the 46th ballot, his advisers—who had secretly promised Marshall the vice presidency in return for supporting Wilson—suggested Marshall as vice president. Despite Wilson’s opinion of Marshall as a “very small calibre man,” electoral calculations eventually swayed him to support Marshall’s nomination.
Marshall’s personal influence on legislation was a powerful aid to the Wilson administration, although some opponents viewed him as a dangerous radical. He advocated strict neutrality prior to World War I—a stand he later regretted—supported American membership in the League of Nations, and opposed woman suffrage. When Wilson suffered a

Through various lineup shifts, label snafus, rock 'n' roll mayhem, and unforeseen circumstances galore, Scott Ian has approached life and music with a smile, viewing the band with deadly seriousness while recognizing the ridiculousness of the entertainment industry.

For generations the electric guitar has been an international symbol of freedom, danger, rebellion, and hedonism. In
Play It Loud, Brad Tolinski and Alan di Perna bring the history oflarger-than-life characters living to excess, from the household names of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Iron Maiden and Metallica to the brutal notoriety of the underground Norwegian black metal scene and the New Wave of British heavy metal.
It is the story of a worldwide network of rabid fans escaping everyday mundanity through music, of cutthroat corporate arseholes ripping off those fans and the bands they worship to line their pockets. The expansive pantheon of heavy metal musicians includes junkies, Satanists and murderers, born-again Christians and teetotallers, stadium-touring billionaires and toilet-circuit journeymen.
Award-winning comedian and lifelong heavy metal obsessive Andrew O'Neill has performed his History of Heavy Metal comedy show to a huge range of audiences, from the teenage metalheads of Download festival to the broadsheet-reading theatregoers of the Edinburgh Fringe. Now,

Synopsis
Earth Girl by Janet Edwards
A sensational YA science fiction debut from an exciting new British author. Jarra is stuck on Earth while the rest of humanity portals around the universe. But can she prove to the norms that she's more than just an Earth Girl? 2788. Only the handicapped live on Earth. While everyone else portals between worlds, 18-year-old Jarra is among the one in a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her parents. She can't travel to other worlds, but she can watchtheir vids, and she knows all the jokes they make. She's an 'ape', a 'throwback', but this is one ape girl who won't give in. Jarra invents a fake background for herself -- as a normal child of Military parents -- and joins a class of norms that is on Earth to excavate the ruins of the old cities. When an ancient skyscraper collapses, burying another research team, Jarra's role in their rescue puts her in the spotlight. No hiding at back of class now. To make life more complicated, she finds herself falling in love with one of her classmates -- a norm from another planet. Somehow, she has to keep the deception going. A freak solar storm strikes the atmosphere, and the class is ordered to

An army helicopter flies over the Siachen Glacier, where an avalanche has buried about 100 Pakistani soldiers. Photograph: AP
Rescuers have recovered a number of bodies after an avalanche hit a Pakistani army base in the disputed Kashmir region, burying up to 150 soldiers in 80ft of snow.
Helicopters, sniffer dogs and troops have been deployed to the remote Siachen Glacier on the Indian border in the Himalayas, according to the Pakistan army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas.
Military and television reports from Pakistan suggested between 100 and 150 soldiers were buried.
The local Urdu TV channel, News 5, quoted unidentified army sources as saying that at least 30 soldiers were killed in the avalanche, but there was no official confirmation of that figure.
Local media said the rescuers had encountered problems dueto bad weather.
The avalanche hit a battalion headquarters in the glacier's Gayari sector at 5.45am on Saturday, according to Abbas.
He told the BBC: "Some bodies have been recovered but it's too early to say how many have survived and how many bodies have been recovered."
He said people were praying the rescue operation would be successful and that it was extremely rare for an avalanche to reach the army base.
Siachen is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region claimed by both India and Pakistan. Both countries station thousands of troops there, who brave cold temperatures, altitude sickness and high winds for months at a time. Troops have been deployed at elevations of up to 6,700 metres (22,000ft) and have fought intermittently since 1984, though the area has

on the field allowed him to be a
part of the 12- 0 New England Collegiate Football Conference
Champions team where he earned the squad's Defensive MVP honors
after recording 51 solo tackles, 22 assisted tackles, nine
interceptions, seven returns for TD's (three kickoff returns, two
punt returns and two interception returns) while also recovering
one fumble. As a member of the 1988 NCAA varsity team, Burns had an
equally impressive year finishing the season with 39 solo tackles,
35 assisted tackles, three interceptions, one sack, and one fumble
recovery. In his final season in 1989, Burns finished his career
with a terrific campaign in the UMass Boston backfield as the
Roxbury native recorded 45 tackles, 11 assists, two interceptions
and one fumble recovery. Known mainly for his return skills and
speed, Burns returned 23 kicks for 520 yards, including arecord
setting 104-yard touchdown return against Curry College in 1989. He
was named to the 1989 New England Football Conference All-Star team
and also enjoyed two semi-professional stints playing for the Hyde
Park Cowboys in the Eastern Football League. Following his UMass
Boston playing days, Burns participated in several professional
tryout sessions including one for the New England Patriots in 1994,
the Professional Spring Football League in 1992 which resulted in
him being drafted by the New England Blitz, the Albany Firebirds
& Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League in 1991 as well
as a World League tryout for the Orlando Thunder in 1990.

“The list is endless with what Greg brought into the sport. Even at the Tour de France at that time, they used to put the riders up in gymnasiums and barely started to use hotels. In the early ‘80s it was indeed rare to find hotels with air conditioning. LeMond used to have the hotel kitchen bring a big cooking pot to his room full of ice for the night. Eventually he left the race hotel to stay in an air conditioned, modern hotel. It forced the organization to change their ways.”

starting job until late in the 2014 season and into the spring.
His performance in practice was said to have gone up several notches late in the year, specifically in the practices leading up the TCU game on Thanksgiving, which were said to have been some of his best of the year. He continued to make progress during the spring with Watson calling Heard's development the most important thing to have happened to the entire team throughout spring practice.
For Young, getting after it and preparing to play and win every day is an absolute must.

But the grandmother claims that after refusing to comply and then pointing out that two women doctors were allowed to wear headscarves, she was moved to a desk job.

Injuries due to deliberate violence in areas of Denmark. I. The extent of violence.
As part of a transcultural investigation of violent behavior in Denmark and South America an analysis was made during a one year period of the incidents involving deliberate violence as registered at 3 Danish emergency wards, and at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Copenhagen. In the three emergency wards a total of 1316 victims of deliberate violence were observed corresponding to a rate of about 3.3/1000 per year in a provincial/rural district, the catchment region of Holbaek County Hospital, 5.5/1000 per year in a mainly middle income area of the metropolis Copenhagen, the catchment region of Frederiksberg Hospital, and 7.6/1000 per year in a mainly low income area of Copenhagen, the catchment region ofthe Rigshospital. The highest risk, 28/1000 per year, was found for young men between 15 and 19 years of age living in the low income area of Copenhagen. The risk was low for people greater than or equal to 60 years of age in all three areas investigated, ranging from 0 (men) to 1.3/1000 per year (women). Skilled and unskilled workers were greatly over represented as victims of violence, considering their share of the background population. Seventy percent of the victims were men. At least 44% of the men and 32% of the women were alcohol intoxicated when arriving in the emergency ward. The incidents took place in restaurants or in the vicinity of restaurants for 30% of the male and 11% of female victims respectively, while 45%

Gallagher, Westman, and Rosenberger were put on Koror, thus alienating LaGrossa from her initial alliance. After Ulong lost every single immunity challenge, she and Bobby Jon Drinkard, the only two Ulongs remaining, competed in a fire-making challenge at Tribal Council, with the loser being eliminated from the game. LaGrossa won and returned to her camp alone. The following day, she was instructed to go to the Koror camp as she was joining their tribe (an unofficial merge). She survived the first vote with her new tribe, when Coby Archa was voted out. However, at the next Tribal Council, the tribe was torn between voting out her or Janu Tornell. But before the vote took place, Tornell quit the game, thus saving LaGrossa from elimination.

We report a case of sudden death in a 19-year-old adolescent male who had been receiving hospital treatment because of a persistent right calf pain which had started about 18 days previously. The pain had not been relieved by analgesics, and had extended to the right thigh. The post-mortem examination revealed that the cause of death was pulmonary embolism by thrombi which had arisen in the right calf veins. The bilateral pulmonary arteries were packed with thrombi, and many pulmonary branches were occluded with fresh thrombi. The right calf veins contained thrombi of differing ages. In old thrombi, massive collagen formation and hemosiderin granules were present but elastic fibers had not

On Tuesday, a dark-money effort linked primarily to the Ohio nuclear industry delivered an audacious payoff, as a newly elected state legislature overcame years of opposition to shower a $1.1 billion bailout on two state nuclear plants. Several dark-money groups spent millions to replace key Republican state legislators in the spring of 2018, followed by a furious lobbying campaign to make sure those new lawmakers elected a new House speaker — one who was amenable to the subsidy. The nuclear industry in Ohio has been on the brink of failure for several years, but previous legislatures had objected to a bailout, reading the writing on the wall: Nuclear power is neither a cost-effective solution for power nor an effective response to climate change, despite hopes for its success.
Nuclearpower is neither a cost-effective solution for power nor an effective response to climate change, despite hopes for its success.
In April 2018, two nuclear plants, both owned by the electric utility FirstEnergy, filed for bankruptcy and have been threatening to cease operations if not bailed out. They were under increasing pressure to compete with cheaper alternatives, ranging from natural gas to wind and solar. The bankruptcy filings give a glimpse into the company’s political spending: more than $30 million from 2018-2019 on lobbying and campaigns in Ohio and Pennsylvania (where the company also sought a bailout, so far unsuccessfully). The dark-money effort deployed a variety of vehicles that went by names like the Conservative Leadership Alliance and the Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance. Murray Energy, a coal company,

than $1 million in donations from Generation Now, also blanketed the state House districts with television ads in favor of Republican candidates. Generation Now’s office is listed as the Columbus address of a longtime Householder adviser, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The new lawmakers entered office in January, and Householder, who, along with his son, flew to Donald Trump’s inauguration on a FirstEnergy-chartered plane, won with the backing of 26 Republican and 26 Democratic representatives, while Smith got the votes of 34 and 11, respectively. Householder was able to win the support of those Democrats with his opposition to right-to-work legislation, as unions pushed Democrats to back him in the speaker fight with Smith.
The Ohio legislation includes measures designed specifically to undermine the planet’s continued capacity to supporta steady human population.
That month, the legislature also began work on reviving the nuclear bill known as HB 6. At least seven witnesses who spoke to the legislature in support of the bill drew on testimony written by a FirstEnergy lobbying firm, according to a review of metadata by the Energy and Policy Institute, which has closely tracked the fight. On July 23, Smith and 14 other House Republicans voted against the bailout, but Householder was able to push it through 51-38, backed by nine Democrats. It was quickly signed by the state’s new governor, Republican Mike DeWine. (FirstEnergy also contributed to the campaign of DeWine, who then tapped a FirstEnergy lobbyist to be his liaison to the legislature.) The Ohio legislation reads as if it was designed

his neighbors who posted West's criminal history on a Facebook page and that made him mad.
Emily Conta has been an outspoken critic of the state placing sex offenders in her neighborhood..
What she didn't know is that made her a target of West. WISN 12 News obtained state records that show in April, West discussed plans to get back at Conta.
He wanted to post her picture in the grocery store with a caption that read she loved sex offenders. Conta had no idea until WISN 12 News showed her the state report.
WISN 12 News Terry Sater was the first to tell her Thursday that West is not going back to the neighborhood. He'll remain in state custody.
"Relief. That's good. After the things that he did and the things thatI read in the report, it's where he belongs. It would have been a big problem if they had sent him back to that home," Conta said.
West's sex crimes date back to 1982 with underage and adult women.
West was immediately taken into custody after the hearing Thursday afternoon. He's been ordered to get more treatment.
West lived with another violent sex offender, Shawn Schulpius, in the south side home. As far as WISN 12 News knows, Schulpius will remain there.

they flew into a power line I believe which they thought was farther away.
EDIT: Old post, but I thought I'd share a story that I didn't think about at the time that is relevant.
Had a friend who was in the army and told me about having to be the lead vehicle in a HMMWV column at night in a combat zone (which means no headlights) and having to drive with a night vision goggle over one eye (which means no depth perception) on a road on the side of a cliff for several hours. The road was only about a foot wider than the vehicle. Scary stuff.

I flew the single seat light-attack A7 for the US Navy. In 1985 I was at a base out west thatwas a test center, and was testing software upgrades to the flight system. When I got there, the only other pilot had been talking to the squadron down the apron. They had a bunch of Cobras that were using night vision goggles at the time.
He had gotten the pilots to loan him at least 2 pairs of each of the thermal and image intensification goggles. As far as I am aware he might have been the first one doing this sort of experiment in tactical low-level attack jets in the western world. Having completed 2 cruises in the Mediterranean, and briefing for war several times, there was never mention of this sort of thing.
He had a colleague down at that squadron who was flying Harriers and they would

CBS's Logan tells Leno, 'Things are going very very badly in Iraq'

CBS News foreign correspondent Lara Logan talked to Jay Leno on Monday about growing up in apartheid South Africa, how she became a reporter, and what it's been like reporting on so many wars over 17 years. "You see the absolute worst of humanity and then you see ... something that's so incredible," she told Leno.
"How are we doing [in Iraq] from your point of view?" Leno asked.
"We're doing extremely badly," Logan replied. She said that because of the suppression of pictures of American casualties, most people have no idea how bad things are.
Logan emphasized that, although the alliance of the US military with former SunniSeptember 7, 2017
War is a racket.
In his 1912 book, Philip Dru, Administrator, Colonel Edward Mandell House has a character say of the US Civil War: "Cynical Europe said that the North would have it appear that a war had been fought for human freedom, whereas it was fought for money."
It was fought "for money" but not in the sense of accumulating it. Like the US Civil War, many wars are fought to force all nations to accept the Rothschild credit monopoly.
"Money" is virtual, a mental concept, an accounting system. Our currency is like a coupon. Money is a medium of exchange. The Central Banking Cartel creates it out of thin air, as a debt to itself, something our government could do interest and debt-free. But our government belongs

the Financial Rulers of Nations, a pivotal meeting took place in London, in 1857. It was at this meeting that the International Banking Syndicate decided that (in America) the North was to be pitted against the South under the old principle of 'divide and conquer.' This amazing agreement was corroborated by MacKenzie in his historical research entitled The Nineteenth Century."
(Masonic logo on US currency.)
The plotters realized that once again the American people would not accept a national bank without a reason for having one, and once again the plotters decided upon a war. Wars are costly, and they force governments into a position where they must borrow money to pay for them, and the decision was made once again to force the United States into a war sothat it would have to deal with the issue of how to pay for its costs. ...
The bankers first had to locate an issue to use in causing the southern states to secede from the United States. The issue of slavery was ideal. Next the bankers had to create an organization that could promote secession amongst the southern states so that they would divide themselves away from the federal government. The Knights of the Golden Circle [Freemasons] was created for that purpose.
Abraham Lincoln began to see the drama unfold as he was campaigning for the Presidency in 1860. He saw the war as an attempt to split the Union, not over the issue of slavery, but just for the pure sake of splitting the Union. He wrote: "I

The independence of each state was written into the Southern Constitution: "We, the people of the Confederate States, each state acting for itself, and in its sovereign and independent character..."
This action was significant because, should the South win the war, each state could withdraw from the confederation, re-establish its sovereign nature and set up its own central bank. The southern states could then have a series of European-controlled banks, the Bank of Georgia, the Bank of South Carolina, etc., and then any two could have a series of wars, such as in Europe for centuries, in a perpetual game of Balance of Power politics. It would be a successful method of insuring that large profits could be made on the loaning of money to the states involved.
Eleven southernstates seceded from the Union to form the Confederacy. But in a rather enigmatic move, the flag adopted by the Confederacy had thirteen stars on it. As mentioned before, the number thirteen has significance to the Freemasons. ...
Abraham Lincoln, now President of the Northern States, once again reported to the American people that the war was a result of conspiratorial forces at work in the South. He told the North that: "combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary machinery of peacetime government had assumed control of various Southern states."
(Good and honest leaders are shot down)
Lincoln was receiving great pressure from certain of the banking establishment to float interest-bearing loans to pay the costs of the war. Salmon P. Chase, after whom the Chase Manhattan Bank, owned

So Abraham Lincoln decided not to borrow money from the bankers nor to create interest bearing money by creating a national bank that would loan the government the needed money by printing large quantities of paper money. Lincoln issued the "Greenback" in February, 1862.
This money was not only unbacked by gold, but was debt free. Lincoln was playing a deadly game. He had crossed the international bankers. The war was being fought toThe police have registered a case on the victim's complaint.

police atrocities following an unsuccessful Maoist mine attack targeting the West Bengal chief minister’s cavalcade. The resistance has since continued unabated, and during the recent elections the state had to negotiate with the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) which is spearheading the resistance, for setting up polling booths outside the resistance area. The state was obviously waiting for an opportune moment and pretext for a crackdown. The opportunity came when Lalgarh recently erupted again against provocations by local Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders. Maoists made tall claims regarding their leading role in the Lalgarh resistance and dared the state to intervene.
At the heart of it, Lalgarh is a typical adivasi revolt against repression and injustice. The entire history of our anti-colonial struggle is replete with manytaking adequate corrective measures as demanded by the PCPA the West Bengal government has only announced meagre compensation of only a few thousand rupees to the 11 women victims of police repression!
For the Indian government and its belligerent home minister, who managed to win the recent election by administratively converting defeat into victory, Lalgarh is a test case to unleash a new pattern of governance in which paramilitary forces will become the custodian of constitutional niceties. There is also the larger political game plan to trap the ruling Left Front of West Bengal in an increasingly repressive role while the Congress party plays the benefactor and monopolises the mask of welfare measures!
For the people of West Bengal, Operation Lalgarh is a political eye-opener. During the recent elections, Mamata

The only road to peace in Bastar, in this situation, can be for the state and central governments to immediately put an end to the war on the people by private militia (Salwa Judum) and paramilitary; to ensure the return of the displaced adivasis to their villages; and guarantee of their rights to land, livelihood and life.to anyone who wants to raise the profile of their business or services.
Angela is a pleasure to deal with. She listened and guided us in terms of the areas that would produce the best results. Her press release was immediately accepted by the local papers which resulted in excellent coverage. In a few simple but very effective steps she has raised the profile of the firm, a charity we support and an event in the planning. I would hope to work with her again.

Around 1968, Jennie Krynzel transferred approximately one-third of her stock in Diamond Club to her son, Dan. However, in 1970, Dan Krynzel transferred the stock back to his mother to keep it from becoming entangled in his divorce proceeding. From 1970 until the corporation's main asset was destroyed by fire on August 4, 1979, Jennie Krynzel was the sole shareholder in the corporation.

In 1978, a decision was made to convert Diamond Club from a nightclub into a restaurant/discotheque. When the new enterprise opened in May 1978, Jennie Krynzel and her son, Dan, ran the business together. Jennie Krynzel opened the restaurant in themorning and acted as hostess until lunch. She returned to work about 5:00 p.m. Dan Krynzel acted as host during the evening. He also did the hiring, "most of the firing," and the ordering of liquor and food. Jennie Krynzel paid all the bills, made the deposits, and wrote and signed the payroll checks.

In addition to his daily duties in running the restaurant, Dan Krynzel arranged the loans necessary to renovate and redecorate the nightclub in 1978 to transform it into Yesterday's. He signed for, and then personally guaranteed, a $185,000 loan from Homestead Federal Savings and Loan and the Small Business Administration.

Based on the foregoing facts, the district court specifically found that "Dan Krynzel had, at a minimum, a substantial role in the management of the corporation's affairs ..." and that "Dan's role in the running of the business was at least equal to Jennie's." J.A. 203. There is evidence in the record that Dan Krynzel was also a director of the corporation in 1978, although the district court did not mention this in its findings.

Yesterday's did not prosper as a business, and when it burned on August 4, 1979, Diamond Club was experiencing significant cash flow problems and owed substantial sums of money to creditors. On August 4, 1979, Yesterday's closed between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m. when Dan Krynzel lockedthe doors and left with the last group of employees. Dan Krynzel and his wife, Tina, were to accompany Tom Bateman to his home for drinks. After traveling some distance from the restaurant toward Bateman's home, the group decided that Bateman and Krynzel should return to Yesterday's to get whiskey and sandwiches while Tina Krynzel drove on in another vehicle to Bateman's house. Accordingly, Krynzel and Bateman returned to the restaurant sometime between 2:50 and 3:15 a.m. At 3:53 a.m., the Dayton Fire Department received an alarm of a fire at Yesterday's. The fire was extinguished at approximately 4:15 a.m., and subsequent tests showed that the fire had been burning for at least 46 minutes by the time

A bipartisan marijuana banking bill has taken three new steps closer to a full floor vote in the House of Representatives after it was formally reported by one committee, another key panel discharged the legislation and it was placed on the body’s Union Calendar.
The proposal, which would protect banks that service state-legal cannabis businesses from being penalized by federal regulators, was approved earlier this year by the House Financial Services Committee. On Wednesday, the committee issued a formal report on legislation, including an updated cosponsor list and incorporating amendments approved during its consideration in March.
The bill was set to next be taken up by the House Judiciary Committee, but that panel opted to advance it without a report on Wednesday, in effect waiving jurisdiction so the legislation cannorthwest coast of Greenland and has moved only slightly over the last century. Finally magnetic north is what your compass locates.
This pole is defined as the point at which magnetic field lines point vertically down. This spot is affected by the flows of-of liquid iron in Earth's core and hence is susceptible to movement.
How do scientists track it?
To track the Magnetic North Pole the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey developed the World Magnetic Model so that scientists around the world could all relate to the same resource.
The model is updated every five years with the last update occurring in 2015. In the five years between public updates, magnetic observations from the European Space Agency's Swarm mission are studied to track the movement

The swarm mission involves the magnetic-field mapping satellites that zip around Earth 15 to 16 times each day. Until now, this five year period was enough to keep track of the pole as it slowly moved toward Siberia.
In the 1900s magnetic north moved less than a hundred feet per day, but in the 1990s this started to increase. By the early 2000s magnetic north was moving at a pace of 34 miles per day.
In early 2018, scientists in charge of the model update realized they needed to have an earlier update in order to keep within the acceptable limits for magnetic-based navigation.

Ebola outbreak The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has spread to Goma, one of the country’s biggest cities. On 14 July, the DRC health ministry said that an evangelical pastor had been diagnosed with the disease at a treatment centre there. The pastor had preached in Butembo, a hotspot of the outbreak, where he laid hands on people who were ill. After he began to feel sick, he travelled to Goma by bus — a two-day journey. Doctors there transferred him to an Ebola treatment centre. The ministry has given an Ebola vaccineto all passengers on the bus and will monitor them for 21 days. It says that the risk of Ebola spreading in Goma is low because the pastor was diagnosed quickly. Ebola has killed an estimated 1,665 people since 1 August 2018, according to the DRC health ministry.

When Grant became unable to operate the restaurant in June of 1992, Koehler assisted Grant in finding a purchaser and negotiating a purchase contract. When the contract fell through and Grant was threatened with foreclosure, Koehler advised Grant to file bankruptcy. With Koehler's assistance, Grant filed his Chapter 11 petition on December 24, 1992.
At the meeting of creditors, the United States Trustee told Koehler to file an application with the court to approve his employment. Despite a follow-up request, Koehler never applied for court approval to represent the debtor. On March 16, 1993, the United States Trustee filed a motion for disqualification, alleging that Koehler's employment by Bates County National Bank rendered him an interested party.[3] OnApril 9, 1993, the bankruptcy court sustained the objections and entered an order disqualifying Koehler. The court expressly determined that Koehler's dual representation of the debtor and Bates County National Bank, a major secured creditor, created an actual conflict of interest. Accordingly, the court ordered Grant to obtain new counsel. The court also required Koehler to file and serve on the United States trustee and all creditors an accounting of any fees collected in conjunction with the bankruptcy case. Neither the debtor nor Koehler appealed the order.
Upon Koehler's recommendation, Grant subsequently sought approval to hire Charles C. Curry as his bankruptcy attorney and approval was granted. On August 25, 1993, the debtor's amended plan was confirmed. In the ensuing months, Grant continued to comply with the terms of

his plan and made his final payment in October of 1994. On March 16, 1995, Grant's case was closed.
After the entry of the disqualification order, Koehler continued to represent Grant for approximately two years. Koehler continued to negotiate with Grant's insurance *569 carrier in connection with a fire claim and he regularly consulted with Curry regarding Grant's bankruptcy case. In fact, Koehler frequently prepared documents and pleadings and then sent them to Curry to sign and file. Despite their long-standing alliance, the parties never entered into a written fee agreement, nor did Grant pay for Koehler's services.
In March of 1994, the parties allegedly reached a verbal fee arrangement under which Grant agreed to compensate Koehler $6,400.00 for work performed in connection with the bankruptcy case. Pursuant to thearrangement, Grant paid Koehler $3,600.00 on December 1, 1994. When Grant failed to pay the balance by March of 1995, Koehler submitted a statement to Grant itemizing his services and demanding payment. Grant proffered two additional payments, which Koehler refused. On April 26, 1995, Koehler initiated collection proceedings against Grant in the Associate Division of the Bates County Circuit Court.
On May 10, 1995, Grant filed a motion in the bankruptcy court seeking sanctions for Koehler's violation of the court's disqualification order. The court held hearings on May 25 and June 22, 1995. At the time of the first hearing, the court reopened Grant's bankruptcy case.[4] The court subsequently entered an order finding Koehler in contempt and imposing sanctions in the amount of $15,802.01. Koehler appeals.

his consultations with Curry, were excusable, since he was already familiar with the bankruptcy file and therefore best situated to provide assistance. While Koehler's desire to share his professional insight with his replacement might in some situations be considered laudable, it was impermissible in bankruptcy. Once disqualified, Koehler was categorically precluded from acting on Grant's behalf.
In addition, Koehler argues that he was encouraged, through the continued solicitations of the debtor, to disregard the disqualification order.[9] Koehler is again off the mark, since the debtor's imprecations and understanding are irrelevant. As the party to whom the disqualification order was directed, Koehler was obligated to discontinue his representation of the debtor and simply should have refused to provide assistance.

Still, having the heritage designation in place significantly slows down the development process; Queen Street West residents, for instance, recently appealed to Adam Vaughan, saying that the
illuminated sign on top of HQ does not fit with the new guidelines.
After HQ’s scheduled opening in July, focus will turn to the three adjacent, desolate lots, currently owned by Guess?Post navigation

Spain. Although Leon led a noble effort during almost a year of laborious negotiations, the proposal that Leon ultimately made – a power-sharing deal under which Libya would be governed by a nine-member presidential council made up of a prime minister, five deputy premiers and three senior ministers – was roundly rejected by both houses and by Libyans who demonstrated against the Leon proposal.
It was at that moment that we, as the representatives of Libya’s parliament and its Tripoli-based General National Congress, decided to come together to craft our own agreement based on the Roosevelt-Churchill principles of nation-building.
We have reached our agreement at a critical moment, just as international security experts are warning that the Daesh jihadist group has enhanced its presence in the Libyan coastal city ofSirte. The leadership of both of our houses is absolutely committed to forging a strong security alliance with the United States and the international community to eradicate the terrorist scourge.
But, despite our agreement, we cannot make progress without the strong support of the international community – including especially the United Nations and the United States. This coming weekend, Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni will be hosting an international conference on Libya, aimed at containing Daesh (ISIS) and stopping the disintegration of our country. Now that we have reached this important agreement, we call upon the international community to wholeheartedly embrace Libya’s own right to self-determination under a unified government.
We are already seeing important signs of the international support that we will need. The Tunisian president, Beji Caid Essebsi,

In most parts of the world, religion is dying.
In North America, millions of people are walking away from the church, millions more are eschewing religious identification, and numerous surveys are recording unprecedentedly high levels of secularity. In Latin American, the total percentage of non-religious individuals has more than doubled in recent years, from 8% in 2014 to almost 20% today. In Europe, religion is truly on the ropes, with a majority of British and Scandinavian populations no longer being religious, and atheism surging in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Estonia.
Indeed, according to European Social Survey data from 2018, nonreligious individuals outnumber religious individuals in over half of the 22 countries surveyed. Religion is also withering throughout Asia; rates of religious belief, ritual engagement,temple activity, and identification are way down, particularly in South Korea and Japan.
One major part of planet Earth, however, that hasn’t seen such a dramatic rise in secularity is sub-Saharan Africa. Another is the Arab world. But it now looks like religion is fading in the latter—and markedly so.
According to a new study recently released by the Arab Barometer Research Network and the BBC—a large, in-depth study covering 10 countries (plus the Palestinian territories) and involving responses from over 25,000 people—secularism is on the rise throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
For example, back in 2013, around 14% of Tunisians said they were nonreligious, but that is up to around 31% today. In Libya, it was around 11% five years ago, but is up to 25% today. In

Arabic-Muslim history.
For example, there was Ibn al-Rawandi, a 9th-century skeptic who rejected Islam and advocated free thought. The critical rationalist Muhammad Al-Warraq, also of the 9th century, doubted the very existence of Allah, was dubious of religious revelation, and was skeptical of religious prophets. There was the freethinking, antireligious assertions of Muhammad al-Razi, of the early 10th century, who doubted the divine nature of the Qu’ran, doubted that Muhammad was a prophet, and was overt in his criticisms of religion, working hard to advance the sciences of physics, chemistry, and medicine.
And then there were the soothingly secular, inspirational humanist affirmations of Omar Khayyam of the 11th century, who waxed poetically about the all-too-natural, all-too mysterious, and yet compelling beauty of existence; “Men talk of heaven,” he noted, yetthe Detention Watch Network have produced two toolkits to help advocates and communities hold U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountable for the humane treatment of immigrants in detention:

The contacts were held between Moshe Amirav, a member of the Herut Party, the major element in the Likud bloc, and three Palestinians: Sari Nusseibeh, a philosophy professor at Bir Zeit University; Faisal Husseini, an activist considered to be the senior PLO representative in the West Bank (he is currently under arrest); and Salah Zuheikeh, a newspaper editor.
The talks produced agreement on a plan for Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as an interim stage to a final settlement. According to the proposal a Palestinian ``entity'' would be established, whose administration would have the right to control natural resources and govern the Palestinian population.

The entity's capital would be in East Jerusalem and it would have elements of nationhood: a flag, a national anthem, a currency, and the authority to issue travel documents, though Israel would control foreign affairs. Israeli troops would withdraw to specific strategic locations.
Other details of what was agreed upon were blurred during the storm of controversy which erupted this week after the contacts were revealed.
Some members of the Likud called for Amirav's expulsion, and Professor Nusseibeh was beaten by radical students.
Thrown on the defensive, Amirav said he acted on his own - though his proposals could certainly be acceptable to his party. He indicated his ideas were merely a broader version of the Palestinian autonomy scheme proposed first by former (Likud) Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, and later incorporatedinto the 1978 Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement.
The Begin plan has been attacked in the past by the Labor Party as containing the seed of an independent Palestinian state in the occupied territories. Amirav said he favored continued Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank, adding that ultimately Jordan would become the Palestinian state. The Palestinians who met with Amirav said they saw the interim arrangement as leading to an independent Palestinan state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
But both were able to agree on an interim period of Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, while setting aside their competing visions of an ultimate settlement.
Amirav presented the understanding as a Likud alternative to the international Mideast peace conference proposed by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, head of the

Labor Party. Likud opposes such a parley saying it would subject Israel to strong international pressure to make vital territorial concessions.
The understanding was also an alternative to the Labor Party's ``Jordan option'' - specifically Mr. Peres's attempts to agree on joint Israeli-Jordanian rule in talks with a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation at an international conference.
The Palestinians also said Amirav gave them the distinct impression that top Likud officials, including Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, were aware of the contacts. Mr. Shamir and party officials promptly disassociated themselves from Amirav's talks once they were public saying the private initiative contradicted Likud's staunch opposition to any PLO contact.In 2015 there will be a free event Vaisakhi at City Hall celebrating Sikh

Colombian rebels free US veteran
AP, BOGOTA
Colombia’s main leftist rebel group on Sunday released a former US Army private who the guerrillas seized in June after he refused to heed local officials’ warnings and wandered into rebel-held territory.
Kevin Scott Sutay, who is in his late 20s, was quietly turned over to Cuban and Norwegian officials, and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the southeastern region from which he disappeared four months earlier.
US Secretary of State John Kerry immediately thanked Bogota in a statement for its “tireless efforts” in securing the Afghanistan war veteran’s release.
Kerry also thanked Reverend Jesse Jackson for advocating for the cause.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), had said it was abandoning kidnapping as a condition for the launching of peace talks that began11 months ago to end a half-century internal conflict. Cuba and Norway are serving as facilitators in those talks.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos resisted FARC efforts to make what he deemed a “media show” of Sutay’s release and no images were released of the early morning jungle handover or of his reported arrival in Bogota.
The rebels first announced in July their intention to free Sutay as a good-faith gesture, but the liberation was delayed.
On Oct. 8, the FARC published on its Web site what it billed as a recounting of Sutay’s life in his own words that it prefaced by describing him not as the US agent it originally suspected, but rather a vagabond traveler — “a classic gringo, a gum-chewer and marijuana smoker, who with backpack on

site-specific cancer risk. Due to the design of the study, informed consent of individuals was not obtained. The study was approved by the Vilnius Regional Biomedical Research Ethics Committee.
Lithuania has a compulsory health insurance system, therefore, the vast majority of healthcare services are covered by the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). NHIF database was created in 1999 for the management, storage, analysis and reporting of the services provided by healthcare organizations. The database includes demographic data and entries on the primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare services provided, hospital admissions, and prescriptions of reimbursed medicine.
The cohort was established by identifying all male and female patients with the first entry of T2DM diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases Australian modification, ICD-10-AM code E11) in the NHIF database from 1 January 2000,and our looney labour took them all in and this is how the working class were abandoned for muslim votes, and the muslims exploited it and caused white flight, my own children were made to wear sari,s at school and had to eat curried goat at school dinners, call me racist but we moved away and Pakistani,s bought our houses, street by street, and the rest is history, we have gone back to the future, living in a 7th century hell hole with people who want us dead, who live to die who love death and we love life, negative and positive death and life black and white, total opposites, they come here from their hell hole and demand we live in their 7th century stone age hell,

The State
4th Death This Year in Kern River
A 35-year-old Panorama City man's disappearance Sunday afternoon in the Kern River, with his family watching helplessly, marked the fourth drowning there in the last 45 days, authorities said.
The deceptively beautiful stretch of river that runs from Lake Isabella to Bakersfield has claimed 214 lives since officials started counting in 1968. Authorities say visitors, mainly from the Los Angeles area, often ignore the signs warning of danger: swift undercurrents, deep pools and jagged rocks.
"You either stay out of the river, wear a [float], or go out in a body bag," said Kern County Sheriff's Deputy Don Rhoades.
Deputies said Jose Alberto Guillen was found face down 2 1/2 feet below the surface. His lower body was caught on a submerged rock, hisupper body trapped on rocks above the surface. He was caught by the white-water rapids, Rhoades said.
"There was a big egg on his head from hitting something," said Rhoades, who helps coordinate the mostly volunteer Kern County Search and Rescue team. "After he got sucked in, the chances were slim for him."
To deter swimming in the river, a sign displaying the death toll on the Kern greets visitors to the canyon at the edge of the Sequoia National Forest. A new tally was affixed Monday in the wake of Guillen's drowning.
Nevertheless, the hot summer weather and the river's natural beauty entice many of the nearly 500,000 visitors who flock there to camp, fish and experience water sports. Those who brave the rapids to go kayaking must wear specially

designed life preservers, said Bob Addison, director of the county Parks Department.
Such a device might have saved Masuod Mozafri, a 46-year-old Santa Monica resident who slipped off a car inner tube on July 1.
Mozafri, who couldn't swim, spent too much time underwater and died in a hospital the next day, Rhoades said.
On June 27, 25-year-old Michael Magby of nearby Bodfish had a seizure in the water from a prior medical condition. He was found 10 days later, a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen.
The river's first death of the year occurred May 27, when Los Angeles resident Angel Martinez, 32, drowned saving his daughter from a deep-water pool. The family had gone to the river to celebrate the little girl's birthday.
District Ranger Dave Freelandof the Forest Service said the 2,000-foot decline from man-made Lake Isabella to Bakersfield creates a fast water flow. The force of the currents is unpredictable because the amount of water released from the lake varies throughout the summer, he said.
Authorities say there is little they can do to prevent the drownings, other than educate and warn the public of the extreme danger. Many agree that no one should go into the river.
"People just have to respect the river," Addison said. "It's not a river you can go swimming in."
