of a Zimbabwean national who Scrooby had let stay at his house.
Robbery
The man allegedly told police armed men had forced him to kill Scrooby with a blunt object around 02:00 on Wednesday.
However police believed robbery was the motive for the killing, as Scrooby's money was missing.
The man was arrested on a charge of murder and would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court soon.
Maganedisa described Scrooby as a charitable man who always helped those in need.
"There are so many people that he has helped in the area, some he gave bread to every day, and some he gave them free accommodation. So many people are crying, not because of what he used to do for them, but because of the kind of man he was," said Maganedisa.

She started by flying to Perth, on the far coast of resource-rich Western Australia, where many voters are unhappy about the Labor government's plans for higher taxes on mining profits. Then it was back to the east coast to face voters at a “people's forum” in Brisbane. She wound up at the National Press Club in Canberra, where she declared on August 19th that the election will be an “absolute cliff-hanger”. It's already quite the frequent-flyer.
For his part Tony Abbott, leader of the conservative Liberal-National opposition, set out at 4:30am on Thursday the 19th for what he said would be

home city. Mr Rudd received a standing ovation when he took his seat in the audience. There were none of the earlier signs of public friction between the two: Ms Gillard is rumoured to have offered Mr Rudd a senior job, perhaps foreign minister, if she wins.
By the time she returned to Brisbane two days later, to meet her opponent at the people's forum held at the Broncos Leagues Club (an entertainment complex and “Home of the Brisbane Broncos”), Ms Gillard appeared the more sure-footed. Mr Abbott took questions from the audience first. His answer as to why he had refused her calls to debate her on the economy—“I debate the economy every day”—sounded flimsy. Ms Gillard fielded four questions about Mr Rudd's overthrow. Both leaders were askedwhy they opposed gay marriage. An audience poll judged Ms Gillard the winner by 83 votes to 75.
Mr Abbott has sharpened the opposition's attack against the government since he took over as Liberal leader. But his campaign has been mainly just that: accusing Labor of over-spending and raising voters' anxieties about asylum-seekers arriving in boats off northern Australia. He has also promised to abolish what seems to be one of the government's more popular projects, a A$43 billion ($38 billion) fibre-optic broadband scheme, which it has just started rolling out.
Whoever wins the election will have to deal with a resurgent Greens Party, which has changed the political landscape. The Greens' first vote, or “primary”, has climbed to 14% in one poll, almost double its primary in the most

He made his England debut against Argentina in 1997 and was a half-time replacement for Bath hooker Andy Long in Clive Woodward's first match in charge against the Wallabies at Twickenham. Long appeared out of his depth and Cockerill's performance earned him a starting place against New Zealand, where he famously stood up to Norm Hewitt during the haka.
A dip in form led Cockerill to lose his first choice hooking position at Leicester to Dorian West and he was also dropped from the England side after criticising Woodward in his book entitled In Your Face. He subsequently moved to

to work either at home or at an office. Ctrip is a large China travel agency. The result showed that those who telecommuted worked longer hours than those who worked at an office. The telecommuters were also more productive and happier. Ctrip saved around 2K from telecommuting. Although the quitting rate decreased for telecommuters, the promotion rate also decreased. Many telecommuters asked to be back in the office at the end with reasoning like loneliness and desire for promotion. Kate Lister, president of Global Workplace Analytics, came to the conclusion that most workers prefer telecommuting and office work combined. Telecommuting increases efficiency and workers’ flexibility.[116] America has an increasing trend of using teleworking due to its strong economics and multimedia services. Among the top 10 telecommuter countries, U.Sis ranked number one;[117] however, developing countries like China is also catching up to the trend. An article from money.163.com states that the number of telecommuters in the Asia pacific region exceeds region like America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific region has about 37% telecommuters while the others have about 23-4%.[dubious – discuss] Chinese citizens also favor the combination of telecommuting and office work due to reason like disturbance at work and increase in flexibility.[118] Not all workers have the chance to telecommute. One of the ethical issues behind telecommuting is who should have the chance to telecommute? One may have more chance to work at home because he/she has young children. The other one may argue he/she also has personal problems. It is favored by

Philippe said the "circumstances of this terrible drama are still undetermined."
He confirmed that two inquiries were underway into the accident that left four children dead and 20 others injured — including 11 seriously.
France's SNCF national rail authority said witnesses described the crossing gates as functioning properly. Regional President Carole Delga told broadcaster France-Info that "it appears that there was no mechanical problem at this crossing."
However, the head of the regional administration, Philippe Vignes, told reporters that investigators would examine whether everything worked properly and also look into reports that batteries in the automatic gate system had recently been stolen.
He said seven of the injured and some of the dead had not been identified by late Thursday.
Some 70 firefighters, 10 emergency ambulances and four helicopters responded tothe crash.
The school bus was transporting children home from the Christian Bourquin school in the village of Millas. It was carrying around 20 children aged between 11 and 15, the local authority said.
Psychological help was being offered at a local sports hall from Friday morning.
An SNCF official told The Associated Press that the train was carrying 25 people, including passengers and crew, and all were accounted for and being offered psychological care. The official added that that train normally travels at 50 mph at that location.

to twenty-two years and that he (Cousins) considered Beasley "probably the best film editor in Houston and the southwest." Cousins and Beasley had worked together on films for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; from that experience Cousins had developed "every confidence" in Beasley as a film editor. Producing and directing films is a creative process the ultimate success of which is highly dependent upon the work of the film editor, with whom the producer-director must work closely. Cousins testified that his decision to hire Beasley to edit the Rice film was based on his belief that Beasley was an excellent editor and his desire to make certain that the very important Rice film was produced and edited properly. While Cousins stated that Wilkinshad competently edited the other films to which she had been assigned, he also testified that her limited experience editing films prior to coming to KUHT Wilkins had one year of film experience in which she had edited two films was a factor in his decision to hire Beasley for the Rice film. Cousins' decision to use the best possible people on the Rice film was also reflected in his hiring a free-lance cameraman to shoot the film rather than using the station's male staff cameraman. We agree with the district judge's finding that Cousins' decision to hire Beasley to edit the Rice film, rather than using Wilkins, was not sexually discriminatory.

In the fall of 1974, Lowell left the lab and was replaced on a temporary basis by David Killough, who was then a full-time employee of Exxon. Killough, on the verge of retirement and seeking part-time computer-related work, agreed to fill the vacancy left by Lowell on a voluntary, noncompensatory basis until a permanent replacement could be found and trained. That replacement was an electrical engineer named Lew Folkerth; he was hired by the university in November of 1974 at an annual salary of $14,500. Problems between Hill and Folkerth arose immediately; before Folkertharrived for his first day at the lab, Hill notified the university's equal employment officer that the situation with Folkerth created a "glaring inequity" because Folkerth, whom she assumed would be under her supervision, would be paid some $5,000 per year more than she was being paid. Shortly thereafter before Hill's complaint had been processed by the university she filed a formal charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that the salary differential was attributable to sex discrimination.
13
The university responded to Hill's complaint by having a representative of the personnel office, Mr. Silber, investigate the charge by "auditing" Hill's job. Silber visited the lab, watched it in operation, and had a discussion with Hill concerning her duties. He concluded that her job was a

to Folkerth's and the misunderstanding as to her supervisory authority, the discontent in the lab manifested itself in a variety of ways. Communications between Folkerth and Hill apparently were strained from the date Folkerth was hired. While Killough apparently made efforts to mediate, his patience was limited; at a meeting between Dr. Motard, Hill, and Killough concerning Folkerth, Killough became very angry, stormed out of the meeting, and said that he had had enough and was quitting. At that point it was evident that a choice had to be made between Killough and perhaps Folkerth on the one hand and Hill on the other. For this and a number of other reasons, Dean Kirkpatrick decided to fire Hill. She spent inordinant amounts ofuniversity. Similarly, with respect to the availability issue, no explicit attempt has been made to differentiate between the university's hiring of instructors and assistant professors on the one hand and associate and full professors on the other. The importance of the college or departmental factor is demonstrated by the fact that the number of doctorates granted to men in the physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences fields in 1977 was somewhat more than 10,000, while the number of such degrees granted to women in that year was just under 1,500. In contrast, in the social sciences, humanities, and education fields, men were granted approximately 12,400 doctorates in 1977, while women were granted slightly over 8,000.10 Obviously, if the bulk of the university's faculty hiring during

prima facie case between the number of women hired by the defendant and the number defendant would have hired had its hiring of instructors and assistant professors mirrored the availability of women for such positions.12
34
Plaintiffs' hiring statistics for associate and full professors are more compelling. During the six-year period at issue, of the 154 associate professors hired only 5 were women; similarly, of 111 full professors hired, 3 were women. The impact of these statistics is lessened considerably by plaintiffs' failure to introduce data as to the availability of qualified women for these positions. As discussed, the only availability data presented by plaintiffs included teachers at junior colleges and community colleges, many of whom undoubtedly lacked doctorate degrees and the requisite experience and thus wereaccomplished by subsequent cases in which this statistical device is used.
54
The university's expert performed two multiple regression analyses on the faculty salary data. In the first, salary was the independent variable with the dependent variables being (1) the mean salary of the department; (2) experience as an instructor at any university, including the University of Houston; (3) experience as a faculty member other than at the University of Houston; (4) experience as a full professor at the University of Houston; (5) experience as an associate professor at the University of Houston; (6) experience as an assistant professor at the University of Houston; (7) possession of a doctoral degree other than a Ph.D.; and (8) possession of a Ph.D. degree.

addition, plaintiffs introduced evidence that during the 1976-77 academic year, there were no women employed in the fourteen jobs classified in levels 8 and 9 of the professional and administrative pay plan,34 and that only one of fifteen level 7 jobs was held by a woman.35 Thus, plaintiffs rely on evidence that of the top fifty professional and administrative positions (twenty-nine in levels 7, 8, and 9 of the pay plan and at least twenty-one not covered by the plan), only one was a woman in the 1976-77 academic year and that the numbers would not be significantly different from these for the years preceding the 1976-77 school year.

As discussed above with regard to the faculty hiring claim, where special qualifications are required for a particular job, plaintiffsbecause she lacked familiarity with computer operating systems and programming languages. While the parties have disputed the issue of Ms. Hill's appropriate title at some length, we find that issue largely irrelevant to the fundamental questions of whether her duties were discriminatorily curtailed and whether her termination was discriminatorily motivated

Killough was a well-trained engineer with a great deal of computer experience who was assisting in the lab on a voluntary basis. The evidence indicated that it took several months for the university to find Folkerth and that he had accepted the job for less than market value. In contrast, Hill was replaced by her assistant, Ms. Sandy White, who by all accounts performed admirably in that position and got along well with Killough and

their compensation claims, discussed below, are good examples. Another is an argument made by the university that the percentage increase in the number of women faculty members hired over the six years at issue was greater than the corresponding percentage increase for men. That statement is true and at first glance seems significant; further reflection, however, demonstrates that it is not. If the university had one female faculty member and hired another, the number of female faculty members would have increased by 100%; if the university had 100 male faculty members and hired 50 more, the percentage increase would be only 50%. Thus, by hiring 1 woman and 50 men, the university would have increased the number of female faculty members at a ratejust completed a reorganization of its top administrative positions. While it is not entirely clear from the record, it appears that from the departmental chairman, the hierarchy proceeds upward as follows: dean and assistant or associated deans; provost and associate provosts; chancellor and associate chancellors; and president. Shortly before trial a woman was named assistant provost; this action by the university, which occurred on the very eve of trial, is of minimal probative value

In the range of the California lineage live Holarctic ravens and another species, the Chihuahuan raven (Corvus cryptoleucus), which shares a common ancestor with the California. This common ancestor split from the Holarctic in the Pleistocene (a 2.5 million year period ending around 12,000 years ago), meaning the Chihuahuan raven and the California are closely related, while the Holartic is a more distant relative.

Texas junior Senator Ted Cruz, a Tea Party favourite, announced early Monday that he's running for the presidential nomination for the Republican Party.
The move would make Cruz the first high-profile Republican to formally announce his presidential bid, ahead of other likely contenders such as former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
What differentiates Cruz from his competition, however, is that he was born in Canada — Calgary, Alta., in fact — to an American mother and a Cuban-born father. His heritage made Cruz a dual citizen at birth. Under U.S. law, being born to an American mother automatically gives you American citizenship, while being born on Canadian soil makes you a Canadian.
The U.S. Constitution doesn't preclude dual citizens from running for the presidency, but it requirespresidents to be "natural born" citizens, which is commonly believed to be Americans born with citizenship even if they weren't born on U.S. soil.
So, Cruz is perfectly eligible for the White House. Two lawyers who represented presidents from both parties at the U.S. Supreme Court also recently wrote in the Harvard Law Review that Cruz meets the constitutional standard to run.
However, things are not so straightforward in the game of politics.
News of Cruz's Canadian birth surfaced in the U.S. media in mid-2013 — the same time he said he learned that he had Canadian citizenship, according to the paper that broke the story — and his opponents quickly jumped on the opportunity to call him "Canadian Ted." If the "birthers" who nagged Barack Obama about his citizenship were

any indicator, it potentially could have caused a political headache for Cruz.
But any blossoming problem was quickly nipped in the bud.
Nine months after realizing he could have a passport emblazoned with the Arms of Canada and maybe even run for elected office in Canada, he officially renounced his Canadian citizenship in May 2014.
According to Cruz's spokeswoman, he said he was "pleased to have the process finalized" and that it "makes sense he should be only an American citizen."
The road to the White House, then, is clear of constitutional hurdles.

are not interchangeable,” he said of biological differences between men and women.
In their complaint, the activist group asked the judge to prosecute the archbishop “in an express and exemplary way, in order to put an end to this unjust scourge of hate speech.”
The prosecution said the case was dismissed in part because of freedom of speech found in the Spanish constitution, according to EFE.
A similar complaint was filed against another archbishop in 2016, when feminist and LGBT activist groups accused Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, Archbishop of Valencia, of hate speech following a homily in which he warned of attacks against the family that came from “movements and actions of the gay lobby, ideologies such as radical feminism or the most insidious of all, gender ideology.”
A court in Valencia dismissedand he was not suspended; just like Mike Richards was not suspended for his hit on David Booth.
Not only did Gillies hit Eric Tangradi from behind in the head; he then proceeded to punch him across the head repeatedly when he was clearly injured. Cooke didn't do that to Savard. Cooke also didn't taunt Savard when he was down the way Gillies taunted Tangradi. Only Matt Cooke can get partial blame for a brawl-filled game in which he didn't even play.

That's right we've got TWOharder. That felt so good that my
eyes teared. I decided I was going about this the wrong way, and started
stroking the squid's barrel, which looks exactly like a huge, albino penis. I
put one hand on each side and rolled it gently back and forth, like a rolling
pin.
The squid's sucking paused for a moment, then resumed.
Wetting my fingers in my mouth, I traced them along the base of the glans, and
watched the pink flush of the tip deepen towards red.
The squid's tentacles around my thighs loosened - slightly.
I started stroking the squid up and up and up, releasing at the tip and letting
my hand grab it by the base, sliding along its velvety flesh, feeling it throb
with urgency, harder and harder with each stroke.
Finally the squid seemed to get

look: sprawled backwards on the bed, my
hips raising and falling of themselves, and inbetween my legs the bright blue
eyes, twining tentacles of and luscious labialike mouth of the squid. With most
of its length buried in my body, it probably looked like my vagina had grown
arms and was trying to escape. The soaked sunburst of russet hair between my
legs mingled with the natural pelt of the squid, enhancing the effect.
Les wasn't fooled though: he knew that what I had between my legs was not some
runaway vagina but the quivering orifice of a prairie squid - and he wanted to
try it himself! His own penis was erect, bouncing eagerly against his belly as
he leaned over the both of us. As he sank down, the squid reached up with its
tentacles andgrabbed him, milking at his shaft and bringing droplets of precum
raining down on the squid's eager mouth. Remembering the sucking the squid had
given me, I wondered how it would feel to have it slurping along the length of a
penis, surrounding it, enveloping it ...
Well, Les was determined to find out, and didn't want me to miss a stroke!
Carefully supporting his weight on his arms, he let the squid's dancing
tentacles draw him down to the luscious pouting labia/mouth. It opened, kissing
at him, sucking him, drawing him in. Tentacles cupped his softly furred balls
and grabbed around his thighs as well. We were locked together, joined at the
squid which had a grip on both of us - and didn't seem the least bit interested
in letting go!
We were the ones who let

go. As Les thrust, the delightful pressure of him was
transmitted into the walls of my own cunny by the squid, and when I squeezed my
vagina tight, the squid squeezed Les in return. As he pulled back, I could hear
the squid sucking at him, literally inhaling him, encouraging him to come back.
And he did!
With every thrust my passion reached a new peak. My own hands were frantically
caressing my breasts, Les' face, and the squid between us: tickling, wiggling,
cuddling. Les' every moan was more of an explosion as he thrust into the tight,
sucking confines of the squid and me at once. I loved the feeling of this
intimate double penetration, the tentacles still finding every little pleasure
nook between my legs and teasing it to full arousal.
I was greedy for cock. Iof joining in!
I wanted to scream in frustration, but the anger was transmuted to sweetest,
fullest pleasure by the squid and Les, now both bucking in their final throes of
pleasure. "Oh ... you ... DUMBASSES!" I wailed, and I came. All of the throbbing
inside my cunt united into a single flame that scorched every inch of me,
devouring me, sending me soaring to the ultimate height of pleasure. I heard
Les cry out as he shot his load deep into the hungry maw of the squid, and
collapsed atop me. As we lay there, exhausted, I could hear and feel the squid
sucking Les clean. My eyes were closed, but I heard Doug and David head into
the next room.
The prairie squid sucked the last drop of juice out of Les, and as soon

Roger Federer vs Dominic Thiem Preview and Betting Tips
Roger Fedrer
Federer is riding a strong wave of consistency and success as he comes to the final on the back of another ATP title win at Dubai (his 100th ATP Triumph). He has been sublime throughout the tournament. His serve has never really been challenged as he has never lost a game on his serve. He’s yet to lose a set in this tournament and was the favourite for the match against Nadal as well.
Dominic Thiem
Dominic Thiem, on the other hand, is a player with so much promise that it’s really hard to write him off. Probably the one statisticrelegation scrap themselves, but have done enough to get a little breathing space. And Roy Hodgson will certainly be looking to carry on their momentum and get one over on their London rivals.
Derby, with Frank Lampard at the helm, will be purely focussed on securing their place in the playoff spots in the Championship and making sure they are in a position to strike if either of the top two slip. They had a good run in the Carabao, but that ultimately affected their league form, and he will not want that to happen again. Fellow Championship side Ipswich found how hard it was to break down a resolute Accrington side in round three, and I can see a repeat on Saturday.Shock of the Round

Kirron Kher said it is the boys who should be kept at home, not girls. (File Photo)
Kirron Kher, the BJP legislator from Chandigarh, delivered a scathing criticism of fellow BJP man Ramveer Bhatti, saying she was "embarrassed" to be called his party colleague. Mr Bhatti had questioned why the 29-year-old Varnika Kundu , who was stalked and almost got kidnapped last week, was out at night. "Parents must take care of their children... they shouldn't allow them to roam at night. Children should come home on time, why stay out at night?" Mr Bhatti said. His comment was seen as victim shaming in an attempt to save the alleged accused, Vikas Barala, the son of the state's topmost BJP leader Subhash Barala. Since yesterday, activists and people ontheory of the state are secularized theological concepts.
In a nutshell, Schmitt is arguing that simplistic notions of the separation of Church and State fail to account for the inherently religious role that the State actually plays in our lives. And Schmitt should know, seeing as he wrote his book during the ascent of national socialism in Germany. However, you don’t need a Third Reich with a megalomaniac at the helm to see the truth of Schmitt’s words. As Yale law professor Paul Kahn says in his book Political Theology: Four New Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty, despite protests to the contrary, the foundations of the American state are also rooted in faith rather than reason:

"Alexander, I heard you've saved that rather strange girl down the street today," Madame Lam began the discussion.
"I did save a girl today, Ma, but she is not at all strange unless you meant it as distinctiveness," Alexander replied as he cut his steak.
Madame Lam raised her eyebrows, "Oh? You've had a good first impression of her?"
Alexander smiled, "That's a statement, Ma, not a question as your tone indicated."
Master Lam cleared his throat and spoke for the first time since he was seated, "Alexander, it is best that you don't involve yourself with this Victoria Yeung."
Alexander put down his fork and knife,she thanks you."
Amused and intrigued, Alexander spoke, "This is why her card can't be mailed, but must be delivered, for I need an interpreter to understand its meaning. Thank you, Emma."
Emma stood up, "My task is done. I shall go now."
Alexander nodded, "Do tell Victoria that I appreciate her appreciation."
Emma did not reply but headed for the doors, with Alexander a few steps behind her. Suddenly, she halted. Turning around to face Alexander, Emma asked, "Why did you carry her outside? Certainly, the living room was safe."
Alexander lowered his head, "I admit I have shocked her greatly, yesterday. But, it was the perfect chance to let her see other people, aside from yourself, other settings, aside from her house. And Emma, she needs sunlight. I've noticed, when I

answer me one more question, Emma," Alexander pleaded with his eyes. As soon as Emma nodded, he continued, "I've noticed several candles lying on the floor when trying to extinguish the flames. I assume this is the source of fire. If so, did Victoria burn the mansion on purpose?"
Emma shook her head once again, "She lit the candles as a daily routine, and usually occupies her hours reading while I am at the market. Yesterday, she had accidentally knocked the candles over while on her way to the library. She didn't realize this until her bedroom was set ablaze. And you know the rest of the story, Mr. Lam."
Alexander was bewildered, "A daily routine, did you say? I've counted the candles. Thirteen. Why? Why is Victoria celebrating herthat she'd become a legend. But... I didn't wish for her to continue living in solitude.
"It pained me when others cannot read her soul, even when it spoke with great earnest and sincerity. They were blinded by her outer appearance and never acquainted her true beauty. They were intimidated by her intelligence, too frightened to listen to her speak of truth. She was envied upon. And along with that, she became an outcast.
"Her parents placed her in classes that matched her IQ, making her skip six grade levels. Academically, she belonged. But her classmates ignored her presence. Wanting to be normal, she requested to attend fifth grade, where other ten years olds happily went to class. Tori, however, was anything but normal. No matter how hard she tried,

half hoping her spirit would hear him, half denying she had given her last breath. Emma, a few steps behind him, had ceased crying. Her hands never left the leather book that comfortably cradled there. Her red, swollen eyes focused on his forlorn and helpless expression, on the teardrop that fell from his face onto Victoria's eyelids. He was crying on behalf of his beloved. And from now on, his thoughts would represent hers, his feelings from her heart, his actions held her motives. From now on, she could only exist through him.
"Victoria, it matters not that both time and distance will separate us. I love you, always."
They turned another corner, and a white, intimidating door stood waiting. The wheels continued rotating, but each subsequent step made byit out. Here are the other winners:

Despite the abuse she suffered, or perhaps because of it, Hester continued to do real good in her community. Other townspeople tried to go to Heaven; Hester tried to provide for Pearl and help her neighbors. Perhaps it was the red A that taught her that even sinners and the less fortunate are worth a bit of kindness, too.
Because of the abuse she suffered, Hester decided never to reveal the name of her child’s father.

The ceasefire violations on the border of India and Pakistan, and especially the government's stand on these flare-ups has angered family members of Indian Army soldiers. Naik Neeraj Kumar was killed during one such confrontation with militants in Kupwara. But when his body reached his home in Bulandshahr, the bereaved family members, angry with the state and central government, refused to carry out the final rites of the deceased soldier saying they would not light the pyre until a representative from the state or central

Kumar's family also wants a written assurance from the government that they will take appropriate measures to safeguard the lives of Indian soldiers on the Line of Control.
Bulandshahr, in Uttar Pradesh, was already in mourning over another soldier's death when Kumar's body arrived. Kumar was the second soldier from the town to be killed in Kupwara in the recent skirmishes. Grenadier Rahul's body had already reached his residence earlier, and was cremated with full honours. But in Kumar's case, only the local residents came to pay respect to the departed soldier.
Since Tuesday morning, the situation on the India-Pakistan border has flared up once again, with frequent exchange of gunfire and battles with militants on the Line of Control. Three soldiers have been killed since Monday.

Britain’s motorways have never felt particularly life-affirming, but they could become even more soulless under proposals to bury the dead alongside major roads to free up room in cemeteries.
Professor John Ashton, former president of the Faculty of Public Health, has called for green burial corridors next to roads, railways and country footpaths.
British graveyards are close to capacity, and with 500,000 deaths in England and Wales each year, it is estimated there will be no more plots left within five years.
To combat the squeeze, Prof Ashton has proposed the creation of rustic cemeteries, similar to those proposed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1711, where corpses would be buried under trees, bushes and flowers, nestled alongside Britain’s infrastructure.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Prof Ashton, said:and Batman: Inferno (2006), about the DC Comics superhero. His novel The Ultimates: Against All Enemies, about the Marvel Comics superhero team was published by Pocket Books in September 2007. He also wrote the Vertigo Encyclopedia. As well as writing about comics he has written a number of comic book series, including one featuring Daimon Hellstrom for the Marvel Comics imprint MAX, Daredevil Noir, and "Iron Man: The Rapture."
He has worked on Alternate Reality Games including The Beast and I Love Bees and is the writer of the Facebook game Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
Irvine has a B.A. from the University of Michigan (1991), an M.A. from the University of Maine (1996), and a Ph.D. from the University of Denver (2003). From 2005-11, he was an assistant professor of English

Ebbs, Mary
Mary Ebbs (nee Dillon) beloved wife of the late Lawrence Ebbs of Calgary, passed away on Saturday, December 2, 2006 at the age of 74 years.
Mary was born on December 8, 1931 in Spennymoor, England. She immigrated from Scotland to Nashwaaksis, NB in 1967 and in 1973 moved west to Calgary. She was married to Lawrence (John) Ebbs on July 21, 1951. She enjoyed spending her time outdoors, fishing and bird watching. One of her favourite places being Skookumchuk, BC where she enjoyed twenty years of family vacations. Mary also enjoyed laughter, all types of music and playing bingo and was a crossword puzzle enthusiast. Mary was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother, who cherished life and her family.
Mary is survived by her daughters andsons-in-law, Myra and Arlin Good of Cranbrook, BC, and Cherrith and Edward Figiel of Calgary; grandson, Michael Figiel of Calgary; granddaughters, Jacqueline Figiel of Calgary and Tracy Good and her Fiancée Eric Potulicki of Ymir, BC; as well as extended family and friends in the United Kingdom.

participate in a style of thought which will survive their coming and going, but it does not exist apart from the individuals.
To illustrate this theory, he examines conservatism during the first half of the 19th century in Germany. As he believes that styles of thought are highly nuanced, it is necessary to limit his claims to a small temporal and geographic range; however, he acknowledges that some similarities exist between temporally and spatially related populations. It may be more accurate to say that similarities exist between styles of thought in population that are in significant communication with each other or descend from the same ancestal style of thought.
In general, early 19th century German conservativism was a reaction to enlightenment rationalism, the central elements of which were constructed deductivelythe present as a culmination and continuation of the past which evolved as it did for good reason. Any change would need to be gradual. Conservativism employed a number of ideas or methods that are found in Hegel: dialectical, historicist logic; property, not as an alienable commodity, but as necessarily bound to its owner; and a positive concept of freedom. Persons where essentially unequal and their liberty was vested in their estate, not in themselves as individuals. In many respects, German conservativism romanticized medieval relations and employed the writers of the romantic movement to articulate their style of thinking.
Mannheim's effort to capture the essence of a socio-political movement in its style of thought is quite valuable. It goes beyond thinking of the social group as a collection of

quite close to the mark.
Only a little of Mannheim's picture of 19th century German conservativism has survived to to become contemporary conservativism in Germany and elsewhere. Today, ethnic, religious, educational, and linguistic diversity, along with gender and sexual orientation differences complicate any analysis based on the early 19th century style of thought. One also wonders if Mannheim's analysis sufficiently includes class interests in understanding socio-political groupings. In many respects, contemporary conservativism is a descendant of the bourgeois capitalism of the enlightenment and only opportunistically inherits some of the attachment to the past that the older form of conservativism manifested. This suggests that was really motivates the style of thought that is conservativism, is a commitment to the interests of the dominant class, just as the 19th century's conservativismwas a motivated by a commitment to the fading dominant class of the 18th century.

In 1986 Carlo Petrini formed an organization in Rome called "Slow Food" in reaction to the opening of a MacDonald's restaurant. He hoped to promote the pleasures that come from the consumption of fresh, locally grown food, produced from sustainable farming practices. His organization quickly turned into a world-wide movement as there were people everywhere who were fed up with the food-like products being churned out by multinational agribusiness companies and served up as "convenience foods." These foods are lacking in both nutrition and flavor, unless, of course, you include such flavorings as sugar, salt, and oil. The toll these food-like products are taking on our health and well being is

sea level, of course, but it will also lower the elevation of the ice pack and dump increasing quantities of ice into the surrounding water, thus raising the local temperature in Greenland and accelerating the melting process in another dangerous feedback. Food production will be severely disrupted by flooding and droughts around the world.
By the fourth degree increase, the nightmare truly begins. Both the Ross and Ronne ice shelves of the Antarctic could become unstable. Were one or both to collapse (as did the Wordie, Larsen A, and Larsen B ice shelves) the rate of glacier melt from the Antarctic mainland would increase dramatically leading to a rapid rise in sea level. By the fifth degree increase "an entirely new planet is coming into being....The remaining ice sheetscommunity has panned. Most recently, Spencer published an article in the journal Remote Sensing which was trumpeted by him, his University, the right-wing blogosphere, and the traditional media. Forbes Magazine wrote that Spencer's data "blow a gaping hole in global warming alarmism." In contrast, Spencer's article was soundly refuted by climate scientists. The certainty of the refutation prompted Wolfgang Wagner, the editor-in-chief of Remote Sensing, to revisit his decision to publish it. Upon review, he determined that it was not of publishable quality and, taking responsibility for his lapse in editorial rigor, Wagner resigned his editorship.
In his resignation announcement, Wagner wrote that there were "fundamental methodological errors" and "false claims" in Spencer's paper, and that "comparable studies published by other authors have already been refuted in open discussions

of the northern hemisphere and is believed to be connected to temperature changes in the southern hemisphere by the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.
Why Singer and Avery would advance such a flimsy argument might be understood by noting the past and current role that Singer and Avery play in scientific debates. Singer began his career in physics studying the atmosphere, but eventually became more prominent as a government adviser, producing relatively little primary research. He is among a handful of scientists that have been involved in campaigns to sew doubt about scientific results that might lead to the regulation of harmful substances. Singer sought to discredit the science showing the link between CFCs and ozone depletion, the dangers of second-hand tobacco smoke, and now the role of carbon dioxidein warming the planet. His work has been supported by the George C. Marshall Institute and the Heartland Institute (two libertarian think tanks), the tobacco industry's public relations firm APCO, and several major oil companies. Perhaps the one unifying theme in his scientific assertions is that any scientific result that might compromise the freedom of corporations to do as they please is, according to Singer, suspect.
Dennis Avery's climate science expertise is highly dubious. He is neither a climate scientist nor a meteorologists. He is an environmental economist specializing in agriculture. Currently, he is the director of the libertarian Hudson Institution's Center for Global Food Issues. His blog posts indicate that he is primarily concerned with promoting free market government policies against environmental regulation.

and Earth and cross checking the criticism assembled by Ian Enting is enough to verify that the first three chapters are fully representative of the whole of the book.
The main question one is left with is why such a work would be written and published in the first place. Simply examining the source of and seeking the motives for the work is, of course, not enough to credit or discredit it, but once it has been discredited on scientific grounds, an examination of its source and motives provides insight into its role in the propaganda war.

cultivation system, the fallow is long enough for the natural vegetation to recover to the state that it was in before it was cleared, and for the soil to recover to the condition it was in before cropping began. During fallow periods soil temperatures are lower, wind and water erosion is much reduced, nutrient cycling becomes closed again, nutrients are extracted from the subsoil, soil fauna decreases, acidity is reduced, soil structure, texture and moisture characteristics improve and seed banks are replenished.
The secondary forests created by shifting cultivation are commonly richer in plant and animal resources useful to humans than primary forests, even though they are much less bio-diverse. Shifting cultivators view the forest as an agricultural landscape of fields at various stages in a regular cycle. Peoplecultivation systems.
Shifting cultivation was still being practised as a viable and stable form of agriculture in many parts of Europe and east into Siberia at the end of the 19th century and in some places well into the 20th century. In the Ruhr in the late 1860s a forest-field rotation system known as Reutbergwirtschaft was using a 16-year cycle of clearing, cropping and fallowing with trees to produce bark for tanneries, wood for charcoal and rye for flour (Darby 1956, 200). Swidden farming was practised in Siberia at least until the 1930s, using specially selected varieties of “swidden-rye” (Steensberg 1993, 98). In Eastern Europe and Northern Russia the main swidden crops were turnips, barley, flax, rye, wheat, oats, radishes and millet. Cropping periods were usually one year, but

were extended to two or three years on very favourable soils. Fallow periods were between 20 and 40 years (Linnard 1970, 195). In Finland in 1949, Steensberg (1993, 111) observed the clearing and burning of a 60,000 square metres (15 acres) swidden 440 km north of Helsinki. Birch and pine trees had been cleared over a period of a year and the logs sold for cash. A fallow of alder (Alnus) was encouraged to improve soil conditions. After the burn, turnip was sown for sale and for cattle feed. Shifting cultivation was disappearing in this part of Finland because of a loss of agricultural labour to the industries of the towns. Steensberg (1993, 110-152) provides eye-witness descriptions of shifting cultivation being practised in Sweden in the 20th century,and in Estonia, Poland, the Caucasus, Serbia, Bosnia, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria and Germany in the 1930s to the 1950s.
That these agricultural practices survived from the Neolithic into the middle of the 20th century amidst the sweeping changes that occurred in Europe over that period, suggests they were adaptive and in themselves, were not massively destructive of the environments in which they were practised. This raises the question: if shifting cultivation did not lead to the disappearance of European forests, what did?
The earliest written accounts of forest destruction in Southern Europe begin around 1000 BC in the histories of Homer, Thucydides and Plato and in Strabo’s Geography. Forests were exploited for ship building, and urban development, the manufacture of casks, pitch and charcoal, as well as being cleared for

agriculture. The intensification of trade and as a result of warfare, increased the demand for ships which were manufactured completely from forest products. Although goat herding is singled out as an important cause of environmental degradation, a more important cause of forest destruction was the practice in some places of granting ownership rights to those who clear felled forests and brought the land into permanent cultivation. Evidence that circumstances other than agriculture were the major causes for forest destruction was the recovery of tree cover in many parts of the Roman empire from 400 BC to around 500 AD following the collapse of Roman economy and industry. Darby observes that by 400 AD “land that had once been tilled became derelict and overgrown” and quotes Lactantius who wrotethat in many places “cultivated land became forest” (Darby 1956, 186). The other major cause of forest destruction in the Mediterranean environment with its hot dry summers were wild fires that became more common following human interference in the forests.
In Central and Northern Europe the use of stone tools and fire in agriculture is well established in the palynological and archaeological record from the Neolithic. Here, just as in Southern Europe, the demands of more intensive agriculture and the invention of the plough, trading, mining and smelting, tanning, building and construction in the growing towns and constant warfare, including the demands of naval shipbuilding, were more important forces behind the destruction of the forests than was shifting cultivation.
By the Middle Ages in Europe, large areas of forest were

Mayan civilization of the Yucatán Peninsula and shifting cultivation were raised and continue to be debated today. Archaeological evidence suggests the development of Mayan society and economy began around 250 AD. A mere 700 years later it reached its apogee, by which time the population may have reached 2,000,000 people. There followed a precipitous decline that left the great cities and ceremonial centres vacant and overgrown with jungle vegetation. The causes of this decline are uncertain; but warfare and the exhaustion of agricultural land are commonly cited (Meggers 1954; Dumond 1961; Turner 1974). More recent work suggests the Maya may have, in suitable places, developed irrigation systems and more intensive agricultural practices (Humphries 1993).
Similar paths appear to have been followed by Polynesian settlers in New Zealand and thePacific Islands, who within 500 years of their arrival around 1100 AD turned substantial areas from forest into scrub and fern and in the process caused the elimination of numerous species of birds and animals (Kirch and Hunt 1997). In the restricted environments of the Pacific islands, including Fiji and Hawaii, early extensive erosion and change of vegetation is presumed to have been caused by shifting cultivation on slopes. Soils washed from slopes were deposited in valley bottoms as a rich, swampy alluvium. These new environments were then exploited to develop intensive, irrigated fields. The change from shifting cultivation to intensive irrigated fields occurred in association with a rapid growth in population and the development of elaborate and highly stratified chiefdoms (Kirch 1984). In the larger, temperate latitude,

islands of New Zealand the presumed course of events took a different path. There the stimulus for population growth was the hunting of large birds to extinction, during which time forests in drier areas were destroyed by burning, followed the development of intensive agriculture in favorable environments, based mainly on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and a reliance on the gathering of two main wild plant species in less favorable environments. These changes, as in the smaller islands, were accompanied by population growth, the competition for the occupation of the best environments, complexity in social organization, and endemic warfare (Anderson 1997).
The record of humanly induced changes in environments is longer in New Guinea than in most places. Agricultural activities probably began 5,000 to 9,000 years ago. However, the mostchanges was very slow population growth and the slow expansion of agriculture to meet the demands of this growth. This set in motion the first feedback loop, the “use-value” loop. As more forest was cleared there was a decline in wild food resources and protein produced from hunting, which was substituted for by an increase in domestic pig raising. An increase in domestic pigs required a further expansion in agriculture. The greater protein available from the larger number of pigs increased human fertility and survival rates and resulted in faster population growth.
The outcome of the operation of the two loops, one bringing about ecological change and the other social and economic change, is an expanding and intensifying agricultural system, the conversion of forest to grassland, a population growing

rapid population growth among indigenous groups of former shifting cultivators that has placed pressure on their traditional long fallow farming systems. Many farmers have taken advantage of the improved road access to urban areas by planting cash crops, such as rubber or pepper as noted above. Increased cash incomes often are spent on chain saws, which have enabled larger areas to be cleared for cultivation. Fallow periods have been reduced and cropping periods extended. Serious poverty elsewhere in the country has brought thousands of land hungry settlers into the cut over forests along the logging roads. The settlers practice what appears to be shifting cultivation but which is in fact a one-cycle slash and burn followed by continuous cropping, with no intention to long fallow. Clearing of treesand the permanent cultivation of fragile soils in a tropical environment with little attempt to replace lost nutrients may cause rapid degradation of the fragile soils.
The loss of forest in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines during the 1990s was preceded by major ecosystem disruptions in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 1970s and 1980s caused by warfare. Forests were sprayed with defoliants, thousands of rural forest dwelling people uproots from their homes and moved and roads driven into previously isolated areas. The loss of the tropical forests of Southeast Asia is the particular outcome of the general possible outcomes described by Ellen (see above) when small local ecological and social systems become part of larger system. When the previous relatively stable ecological relationships are destabilized, degradation can occur

Spatial distribution of heavy metals in urban soils of Naples city (Italy).
Concentrations of surface and sub-surface soil Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn in the Naples city urban area were measured in 1999. Contourmaps were constructed to describe the metals spatial distribution. In the most contaminated soil samples, metals were speciated by means of the European Commission sequential extraction procedure. At twelve sites, Cu, Pb and Zn levels in soil were compared with those from a 1974 sampling. Many surface soils from the urban area as well as from the eastern industrial district contained levels of Cu, Pb and Zn that largely exceeded the limits (120, 100 and 150 mg kg(-l) for Cu, Pb and Zn, respectively) set for soils of public, residential and private areas by the ItalianElectrophysiological evaluation in myotonic dystrophy: correlation with CTG length expansion.
In myotonic dystrophy (MD), disease severity has been correlated with expansion of CTG repeats in chromosome 19. The aims of this study were to evaluate efficacy of electromyography in the diagnosis of MD, access the frequency and the characteristics of peripheral involvement in the disease and to verify whether the CTG repeats correlated with the electrophysiological abnormalities. Twenty-five patients and six relatives at risk of carrying the MD gene were examined. Electrical myotonia (EM) was scored. Sensory and motor conduction velocity (CV) were studied in five nerves. Leukocyte DNA analysis was done in 26 subjects. Myopathy and myotonia were found in 27 cases. EM was most frequent in muscles of hand and in tibialis anterior. No significant correlation was

Here is the resignation letter that Mr Sikka sent to the Infosys board members.Dear Board Colleagues,Over the last few days, since our earlier call, I've met Sesh several times, talked to you individually at length, and spent time thinking things thru with Vandana. During this time, one of our employees, Sandeep Karamongikar, died in his sleep, likely of a massive heart attack. He was working on the chatbot frontend in Nia.

As Thomas mentions, the long exposures typically used to capture images of faint objects cannot detect the pulsing of a pulsar, unless you use stroboscopic techniques. And you're not likely to try using a stroboscopic image capture unless you suspect that the object may be pulsing.

FACTS
On or around March 15, 2007, Marcos Santiago ("Santiago" or the "Debtor") executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $194,751 (the "Note") in favor of SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. Simultaneously, as security for the Note, Santiago executed a mortgage (the "Mortgage") encumbering real property located in Lehigh Acres, Florida (the "Lehigh Acres Property"). Attached to the Mortgage was a Second Home Rider that provides as a covenant by Santiago to SunTrust that "Borrower shall occupy, and shall only use, the Property as Borrower's second home."
On October 10, 2007, apparently when construction was completed of the home located on the Lehigh Acres Property, SunTrust and Santiago entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the "Modification Agreement").

the Mortgage Date is the operative date, the Mortgage may be altered pursuant to section 1332(b)(2).
The determination of whether the Lehigh Acres Property was the Debtor's primary residence on the Petition Date is more problematic. SunTrust relies on the Debtor's schedules, the Debtor's Statement of Financial Affairs, the Debtor's Second Amended Plan, and records of Miami-Dade County in support of its position that the Lehigh Acres Property was Debtor's principal residence on the Petition Date. The Miami-Dade County records show that the Debtor claimed the homestead exemption for the Homestead Property in 2007 but not in 2008. Thus, based on these documents, SunTrust asserts the Debtor was probably, or could have been, living at the Lehigh Acres Property on the Petition Date.
In support of the Debtor's case, andin addition to the Note, Mortgage and Modification Agreement, the Debtor relies on the deed that conveyed the Lehigh Acres Property to him, the utility records for the Homestead Property from July 2004 through April 2008, as well as the records from Lee County. The deed, dated the same day as the Mortgage, lists the Debtor's address as the Homestead Property. The utility records for the Homestead Property show that utilities for which the bills were issued (it is not clear from the printout which utilities are covered) were terminated by issuing a "final bill on Sept. 26, 2007," but that on November 14, 2007, service was reconnected at the Homestead Property. The records for Lee County, Florida show the Debtor's mailing address in 2007 at the Homestead

was finally annexed to Vulcan territory. The Andorian colonists were removed by force and after this forced removal, a surveillance satellite was put in orbit to monitor the agreement. The planet has been deserted for nearly a century – until now.
"Captain's starlog, Supplemental. In the three days it has taken is to reach Paan Mokar, the situation has grown considerably more tense."
When they finally arrive in orbit, Archer first meets with Ambassador Soval, who is not very happy about the situation and the fact that Archer has been asked to negotiate this. He wonders why an officer of the Andorian Imperial Guard would personally ask for Archer's involvement in such a matter. Soval makes it clear that given the nature of these negotiations, he does not really considerwho is trying to reach a compromise between the two by opening up the channels of communication. Soval says that he did not ask for Archer's help and that he also does not feel obliged to accept it, but Archer points out that at least the Andorians are willing to talk, which is more than can be said of the Vulcans; the next move has to come from the Vulcan, Archer tells him. Despite his reservations, Soval finally agrees to go down to the planet with Archer to speak with Shran.
On the planet, Shran's lieutenant, Tarah, asks Shran whether talking is really the way to go because after all, they have been talking for nearly hundred years with the Vulcans without getting anywhere, except for the Vulcans constantly

stalling the situation and lying to them. She believes that backing down now would be a bad idea. But Shran says that he is willing to give Archer a chance. Tarah believes that Shran is putting too much faith into the "pink skins", believing them to be nothing but the pawns of the Vulcans, working for their best interests accordingly. If they attack now, Tarah tells him, the Andorian forces will have the Vulcan warships on the defensive before any reinforcements can arrive. Shran simply notes her recommendation, but this makes Tarah more insistent and she continues to argue the point, which angers Shran.
Meanwhile, T'Pol, Archer, and Soval make their way down to the planet via shuttlecraft. However, upon entering the planet's atmosphere, they are fired upon byAndorian weapons and are forced to make an emergency landing without taking much damage. As soon as they exit the shuttle, Soval is already backing up, suggesting to fall back on Vulcan positions, but Archer insists on trusting Shran and giving this a fair chance. He points out that they really do not know what happened, while Soval is adamant about blaming the Andorians for the attacks that crash-landed them here. He thinks that Archer is naive not realizing that Shran is just using him, but Archer believes that it is Soval who is mistaken.
Before they can reach Shran's base, they are attecked by Tarah and other Andorians, wounding Soval. Archer manages to get around them and neutralize them just as Shran arrives. Tarah tries to accuse Archer

of betraying them, but Archer tells Shran he'll find Andorian weapon signatures on Soval's injury and on their shuttle. Shran confronts Tarah and demands the truth. Tarah finally admits she was unwilling to follow "orders to do nothing, while you betray us." She once again urges him to take a stand against the Vulcans, but instead he places her under arrest.
In orbit, the situation is at least as tense. Three Andorian battle cruisers come out of warp and are in a standoff with the two Vulcan cruisers that were there previously. Tucker decides to enforce his neutrality by taking the Enterprise between the two enemies that are already charging weapons. The situation is defused when Archer calls from the surface, saying that everyone is fine.

to Rebecca Stine. The judgment further reduced Timothy Stine's child support obligation by eliminating the necessity of paying child support while he has physical custody of the children. Rebecca Stine appeals this judgment.
On appeal, Mrs. Stine argues that she should have been granted sole custody or, in the alternative, sole physical custody of the children, as a result of the physical disabilities of the father, Timothy Stine, and of the child, Amy. Timothy Stine is a quadriplegic, paralyzed from below the armpits and confined to a wheelchair. Amy was born with a defective kidney. Her right kidney was surgically removed. She underwent further surgery to install an ostomy to the outside of her abdomen, through which urine is discharged into a bag. This bag is changed approximately everycourt judgment states that he should make every effort to have another responsible adult with him when transporting the children to and from the mother's home. Mr. Stine's testimony revealed that his van was well maintained and equipped with a CB radio. He testified that he informs responsible people of his departure and estimated arrival times. It is apparent from the testimony that Mr. Stine is an intelligent man, fully aware of his physical deficiencies. He was clearly concerned with the welfare of his children. We believe that the strong suggestion of the trial court is sufficient, under the circumstances before us here, to prevent unnecessary risks to the children.

This article presents a method for the evaluation of the national university research performance in analytical chemistry and applies it to data obtained from the Italian university system. In February 2009 a census was carried out of the papers published by (full) professors (professori di prima fascia) in the scientific sector of analytical chemistry. The survey identified 8529 papers by 80 professors (65 senior, professori ordinari, and 15 junior, professori straordinari) published in 630 journals; 86% of the papers were by senior professors. 94% of the total were published in journals included in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database, and the majority, 55%, in journals included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) category of 'Chemistry, Analytical' (CA), covering 53, i.e. 76%, out of the 70 journals includedpapers by 80 professors (65 senior, professori ordinari, and 15 junior, professori straordinari) published in 630 journals; 86% of the papers were by senior professors. 94% of the total were published in journals included in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database, and the majority, 55%, in journals included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) category of 'Chemistry, Analytical' (CA), covering 53, i.e. 76%, out of the 70 journals included in this category. The average number of papers published per professor was 106.6 (min–max 34–364). Evaluation of the quality of publications was obtained from the impact factor (IF) available for the year 2007 in JCR for all ISI journals. For journals not included in the CA category a normalized IF was used, according to a maximum scaling procedure,

a speech addressing the “electability” conversation on Sunday – 37,000 fewer voters turned out in 2016 than 2012. The county is 40% black. Given that Hillary Clinton lost Michigan by fewer than 11,000 votes, it is reasonable to assume this turnout drop cost Democrats the state.
It’s worth remembering that the last “electable” Democrat won by energizing African Americans, young voters, suburban voters, progressives, and Latinos. He was uniquely positioned to make the argument most central at that time: We need change. He also was a black man named Barack Hussein Obama.

Ghawi, who tweeted under the name Jessica Redfield, said in a blog that
she was "blessed" to have left the area moments before the June 2

The battle
with the cap-wearers of Istanbul, of Turkey, is not my battle, it's
yours. I have my own battles to fight against other kinds of cap-wearers
and torchbearers in my country. In a way, the battles are not all
that different. There is one crucial difference, though. While in
Turkey there is silence, in India there's celebration, and I really
don't know which is worse.
In the
state of Gujarat, there was a genocide against the Muslim community
in 2002.
I use the
word Genocide advisedly, and in keeping with its definition contained
in Article 2 of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The genocide began as collective
punishment for an unsolved crime-the burning of a railway coach in
which 53 Hindu pilgrims were burned to death. In a carefully planned
orgy of supposed retaliation,2,000 Muslims were slaughtered in broad
daylight by squads of armed killers, organised by fascist militias,
and backed by the Gujarat government and the administration of the
day. Muslim women were gang-raped and burned alive.
Muslim
shops, Muslim businesses and Muslim shrines and mosques were systematically
destroyed. Some 1,50,000 people were driven from their homes.
Even today,
many of them live in ghettos-some built on garbage heaps-with no water
supply, no drainage, no streetlights, no healthcare. They live as
second-class citizens, boycotted socially and economically. Meanwhile,
the killers, police as well as civilian, have been embraced, rewarded,
promoted. This state of affairs is now considered 'normal'. To seal
the 'normality', in 2004, both Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani, India's
leading industrialists, publicly pronounced Gujarat a dream destination
for finance capital.
The initial
outcry in the national press has settled down. In Gujarat, the genocide

territory in its search for
not just space, but sustenance. This impulse to expansion would naturally
be at the cost of a less dominant species, a weaker species that Nazi
ideologues believed should give way, or be made to give way, to the
stronger one.
The idea
of lebensraum was set out in precise terms in 1901, but Europe had
already begun her quest for lebensraum 400 years earlier, when Columbus
landed in America. The search for lebensraum also took Europeans to
Africa: unleashing holocaust after holocaust. The Germans exterminated
almost the entire population of the Hereros in Southwest Africa; while
in the Congo, the Belgians' "experiment in commercial expansion"
cost
10 million
lives. By the last quarter of the 19th century, the British had exterminated
the aboriginal people of Tasmania, and of most of Australia.
Sven Lindqvist,
author of Exterminate the Brutes, argues thatit was Hitler's quest
for lebensraum-in a world that had already been carved up by other
European countries-that led the Nazis to push through Eastern Europe
and on toward Russia. The Jews of Eastern Europe and western Russia
stood in the way of Hitler's colonial ambitions. Therefore, like the
native
people of Africa and America and Asia, they had to be enslaved or
liquidated. So, Lindqvist says, the Nazis' racist dehumanisation of
Jews cannot be dismissed as a paroxysm of insane evil. Once again,
it is a product of the familiar mix: economic determinism well marinated
in age-old racism, very much in keeping with European tradition of
the time.
It's not
a coincidence that the political party that carried out the Armenian
genocide in the Ottoman Empire, was called the Committee for Union
& Progress.
'Union'

(It had won two in 1984). The hysteria orchestrated by Advani peaked
in 1992, when the mosque was brought down by a marauding mob. By 1998,
the BJP was in power at the Centre. Its first act in office was to
conduct a series of nuclear tests. Across the country, fascists and
corporates, princes and paupers alike, celebrated India's Hindu Bomb.
Hindutva had transcended petty party politics.
In 2002,
Narendra Modi's government planned and executed the Gujarat genocide.
In the elections that took place a few months after the genocide,
he was returned to power with an overwhelming majority. He ensured
complete impunity for those who had participated in the killings.
In the rare case where there has been a conviction, it is of course
the lowly footsoldiers, and not the masterminds, who stand in the
dock.
Impunity
is anmurder.
Ehsan Jaffri,
the Congress politician and poet who had made the mistake of campaigning
against Modi in the Rajkot elections, was publicly butchered. (By
a mob led by a fellow Congressman.) In the words of a man who took
part in the savagery:
Five people
held him, then someone struck him with a sword...chopped off his hand,
then his legs...then everything else...after cutting him to pieces,
they put him on the wood they'd piled and set him on fire. Burned
him alive.
The Ahmedabad
Commissioner of Police, P.C. Pandey, was kind enough to visit the
neighbourhood while the mob lynched Jaffri, murdered 70 people, and
gang-raped 12 women before burning them alive. After Modi was re-elected,
Pandey was promoted, and made Gujarat's Director-General of Police.
The entire killing apparatus remains in place.

(India hosts 57 million-more than a third-of the world's undernourished
children.)
With the
possible exception of China, India today has the largest population
of internally displaced people in the world. Dams alone have displaced
more than 30 million people. The displacement is being enforced with
court decrees or at gunpoint by policemen, by government-controlled
militias or corporate thugs. (In Nandigram, even the CPI(M) had its
own
armed militia.) The displaced are being herded into tenements, camps
and resettlement colonies where, cut off from a means of earning a
living, they spiral into poverty.
In the
state of Chhattisgarh, being targeted by corporates for its wealth
of iron ore,there's a different technique. In the name of fighting
Maoist rebels, hundreds of villages have been forcibly evacuated and
almost 40,000 people moved into police camps. The government is arming
some of them, and has created Salwa Judum, a 'people's militia'. While
the poorest fight the poorest, in conditions that approach civil war,
the Tata and Essar groups have been quietly negotiating for the rights
to mine iron ore in Chhattisgarh. Can we establish a connection? We
wouldn't dream of it. Even though the Salwa Judum was announced a
day after the Memorandum of Understanding between the Tata Group and
the government was signed.
It's not
surprising that very little of this account of events makes it into
the version of the New India currently on the market. That's because

The Evolving Role of the Metadata Librarian: Competencies Found in Job Descriptions
Myung-Ja Han, Patricia Hswe
Myung-Ja Han is Metadata Librarian and Assistant Professor of Library Administration, University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; mhan3@illinois.edu
Patricia Hswe is Digital Collections Curator and Assistant Librarian, Pennsylvania State University Libraries, University Park; pmh22@psu.edu
The authors wish to thank LRTS reviewers and editors for their insightful comments and advice on this paper. In addition, the authors acknowledge suggestions, particularly on the question of future research, made by members of the Metadata Roundtable at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The preliminary analysis of the research reported in this paper was presented at the Metadata Interest Group meeting, American Library Association Annual Conference, Chicago, July 12, 2009.
Abstract
Metadata(January 2000 to December 2008) and retrieved from two print sources, American Libraries and College and Research Libraries News.20 These descriptions were entered in an Excel spreadsheet and organized in categories identical to those for the metadata librarian job descriptions. This approach was taken to track and compare changes over time, both in number of jobs and in qualifications for metadata librarians and cataloging librarians.
Findings and Analysis
Demographic Data
The number of metadata librarian jobs posted each year did not significantly change until 2007. In 2007, 24 jobs were posted compared to 10 jobs in 2006. The number of jobs posted in 2008 fell to 19. As mentioned above, no metadata librarian job openings were posted from October to December 2008. However, the 2008 figure of 19 is still the

metadata work, which was described in similar ways in the postings, also imparts succinctly how the need to address metadata issues cuts across library units.
Also notable is the number of job titles that included words such as “coordinator” and “service.” Seven of 21 metadata job titles included one or both of these words in the title of the position. Several articles in the literature review discussed how the responsibilities of metadata and cataloging librarians have altered over time.22 These studies found that the most prominent change in the responsibilities of cataloging librarians is the shift from creating original cataloging records to coordinating the cataloging and metadata work of the institution, as reflected in the new titles for the position of metadata librarian.
Qualifications
Of the 86 metadata librarian job descriptions,to work both in a team environment and independently. The most important work performance skills to have were flexibility in work and the ability and willingness to learn new skills. In terms of IT, metadata librarians were required or desired to be proficient in XML, OAI-PMH, and RDF, which are used for metadata conversion and sharing.
With regard to the second research question, the metadata librarian skill set changed considerably during this period. In 2000 only 1 of 5 job descriptions (20 percent) mentioned communication skills as a requirement. By 2008 that number had increased to 12 (63 percent) of 19 positions advertised that year. The communication skills requirement is in keeping with the collaborative nature of metadata librarian positions. In particular, between the years 2005 and 2008, the

with MARC is viewed as desirable for a metadata librarian to have because it is foundational for understanding how metadata standards function in a library environment.
Judging from the job description analysis, a key difference between qualifications of metadata librarians and cataloging librarians is knowledge of emerging technologies, which was required more often of metadata librarians. Examples of this knowledge included familiarity with markup languages such as XML, protocols such as the OAI-PMH, and approaches to conceptual modeling such as RDF.

It was announced today that producers Hal Luftig and Patrick Catullo will bring a new production of the classic rock opera The Who's Tommy back to Broadway in the 2021 season, directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, who also directed the original Broadway production.
2019 marks the 50th anniversary of The Who's groundbreaking rock concept album Tommy. Released in 1969, Tommy became the voice of a generation and is considered one of the most important and influential albums in the history of rock music. Telling the story of Tommy Walker, a young boy traumatized into seeming deafness and blindness, whose pinball wizardry launches him on a path toward a messianic movement, Tommy included indelible songs such as "I'm Free," "See Me, Feel Me," and, of

According to Galeotti, one Interior Ministry official in 2013 estimated that 40 percent of the ministry’s computers could be using pirated Windows software, which is widely available in Russia for download or at local computer markets.
In Brazil, the attack struck at the heart of the government — employee computers at the Justice Ministry and Brazil’s social-security administration were infected. The local media also reported that the attack locked up computers in the country's labor courts and the public prosecutor's office.

Turnaround specialist Day, 52, who created his retail empire – which owns Peacocks and Jaeger – by taking over failing firms, is one of several potential investors interested.
Viewed by some as the new king of the High Street, Day, worth £1.2billion, grew up on a council estate in Stockport and worked part-time at his parents’ newsagents shop while he was at school.
He later remortgaged his home to help private equity firm Rutland Partners buy Edinburgh Woollen Mill in 2001, and later bought out its share.
The group now houses a number of brands he brought back from bankruptcy including Austin Reed, Ponden Home and Jane Norman. The business is thought to be worth around £1billion.

"That's not uncommon, the worst of the damage was healed when you first shifted, it healed more with your second shift and now your body's working on finishing up."

"Well, I wasn't there, so I can't tell you for certain, but I can give you my best guess based on my experience with Kitsune healing..."

We don't have anything big on the schedule for the next week or two so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Well then," she said. "Are you feeling better?" He lifted his head and nodded once. "Good, do you think you can shift on your own?" Again, he nodded. We waited while the shimmering blur returned, fading again after just a moment to reveal the blond teenager he had started out as. He was still sitting on the exam table where he had begun, only now his clothes were shredded bits of cloth on the exam table under him.

"I'll remember." I shifted for the first time since sitting down. I pulled my hand out from under his and picked up my tea, taking another long drink. "Thank you for listening to all the drama and explaining what he's thinking. The logic of the male mind escapes me."
"Hey, now. Don't lump all men in his category. Not all of us are on the caveman level."
"I know. It never occurred to me he was another caveman. We've been friends since kindergarten."
"Sometimes we hide a lot." He turned until he faced forward too.
"Don't I know it? There's been so much revealed in the last few weeks, I don't know how I'm handling it all."

He further testified that he had no authority to make these contacts and that such was not proper procedure. Jaffee discouraged Stack from pursuing his claim and told him that he should stop pursuing it altogether.
Although Jaffee had substantial evidence that Perez lied under oath and made physical threats against Stack, he nevertheless wrote to the Ayer District Court, stating that there was no evidence that Perez had violated criminal law or department policy or procedure.

Gary Chaloner. Well before I originally finished writing Frogs, I tried to find the
perfect artist to depict the Wildes, and Gary was my choice. Not only was he a gifted graphic storyteller with a distinctive style, he was a huge fan of pulp adventure and had an instinctive
understanding (and love) of the material. Together we decided to produce lavishly illustrated books, and he put a lot of time into honing his designs to match my vision of the characters.
When I signed with Putnam, they opted to take a different, less ambitious, approach, and they didn't hire Gary. The resulting book had a really nice cover, but I never got so much as an
email consultation with the artist and had a few minor issues with some of its details:

The conductive balls, which are compressed between the pad of the substrate and the terminal of the IC chip, have good power of restitution. Consequently, the contact area between the pad and the terminal increase according to pressure between the pad and the terminal. Accordingly, contact resistance between the conductive balls and the pad and that between the conductive balls and the terminal are lowered as the pressure applied to the conductive balls increases.

2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. will be honored by President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday following Saturday's All-Star Race. Like other popular sports, it is customary for the NASCAR champion to make a trip to Washington D.C.
Truex's meeting will be the first time the NASCAR champion has been recognized at the White House since Trump took office. Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson did not make the trip following his 2016 title due to timing on both sides. Johnson visited with President Obama following his 2014 championship.
Truex won eight races last season including the Championship 4 contest at Homestead-Miami Speedway en route to his first Cup Series season title. The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota has alreadyclinched a spot in the 2018 playoffs after winning at Fontana, California's Auto Club Speedway in March.
Trump has showed support for NASCAR over the years after being endorsed by chairman Brian France during the 2016 presidential election. The president also tweeted about NASCAR ahead of the 2018 Daytona 500.

Benedict Rogers, a so-called human rights activist and chairman of the UK-based non-governmental organization “Hong Kong Watch”.
As in the past, Mr. Rogers has been calling Hong Kong police force actions, which are aimed at defending the city against the multi-national hostile coalition, as “police brutality”. Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of Hong Kong, fired back, declaring that “Christmas in Hong Kong was ruined by protesters”. The Hong Kong government said that there had been arson and police had been attacked with petrol bombs.
During my recent work in Hong Kong I realized that the situation has been dramatically deteriorating, and the police force is now facing much greater challenges than it did in September and October, 2019. While the number of rioters is decreasing, those who remain on the streets(and in the underground cells) are much better organized, and better funded, particularly from abroad. Both the funding channels and propaganda support for the rioters are functioning professionally, and they are amazingly well coordinated. The funding from the West is massive.
For Hong Kong and its police force, the situation is increasingly dangerous.
The external forces operating on the Hong Kong territory are diverse and often very brutal. They include Taiwanese right-wing organizations, Japanese religious sects, Western-backed Uyghurs, fascist Ukrainian militant groupings, as well as European and North American propagandists, posing as press corps. There are several Western anti-PRC NGOs stirring hatred towards Beijing, all around Hong Kong and the region.
The rioters themselves are more and more radicalized, now often resembling extremist Islamic groups in the Middle East. They are

The group was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project. They named themselves the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and in 1947 created the Doomsday Clock “using the imagery of apocalypse (midnight) and the contemporary idiom of nuclear explosion (countdown to zero) to convey threats to humanity and the planet”.
Any adjustment to the Doomsday Clock’s minute hand is made by the Bulletin’s Board of Directors and its sponsors, which include 16 Nobel Laureates. The Clock has become a universally recognised indicator of the world’s vulnerability to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change, and emerging technologies in the life sciences.

At any given moment, anywhere in the world there are a bunch offrom the phenomenon.
In fact, the magnetic north pole has inched north by more than 1100km since the early 19th century when its location was first determined by explorers. It picked up speed in the 21st century, moving at about 64km a year, compared with 16km a year in the early 20th century.
NASA says the magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia with no dramatic effects. In the past 20 million years, the poles have reversed about every 300,000 years — though it has been twice that long since our planet experienced the last reversal.

Cappadocia, a province in central Turkey, offers the traveler a startling rockscape whose cones, pleats, and folds conceal hundreds of monasteries and churches carved from the soft, porous "tuff" and used by Christian communities over nearly two millennia for shelter, burial, and sanctuary. This region in the Turkish hinterland is recognized as one of the centers of Byzantine mural painting. However, numerous hermitages, monasteries, and independent chapels dating from the seventh century onward reveal it also as one of the most concentrated areas of Eastern monasticism.as “No asylum in Austria for economic reasons!” and “Smugglers lie!

Out of 1.3 million asylum seekers who came to Europe at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015, some 900,000 filed their applications in Germany, which has been perceived as a particularly welcoming location partly due to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ‘open door’ policy.
The mass influx of refugees and migrants put a strain on the German social welfare system, aggravated the security situation and sparked a rise in anti-migrant sentiment. At the September parliamentary elections, the

Was Narcissus really a narcissist?
The Greek myth about the beautiful Narcissus, who was too proud to love any of his admirers and was condemned by the gods to fall in love with his own reflection, has always been seen as a warning against excessive self-love.
But is this really the best way to read the story?
The story of Narcissus has proved perennially popular with artists and has given its name to a psychological disorder. Picture: ‘Echo and Narcissus’ by John William Waterhouse (1903)/Walker Art Gallery/Wikimedia
Retold at the beginning of the first century CE by the Ancient Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses, the story has much to say on a subject that is still uncomfortably resonant today: toxic masculinity.
The Narcissus tale in Book III of the Metamorphoses,the building in public life.
Hellenistic theatre
It seems that the theatre was renovated in the third century, after 238 BC and certainly before the death of Hieron II in 215 BC, transforming it into the form seen today. Its structure was extended, taking into account the shape of the Temenite hill and the best possibilities for acoustics. Another typical characteristic of Greek theatres is the celebration of the panoramic view, also applied to the theatre of Syracuse, offering a view of the bay of the port and the island of Ortygia.
The cavea had a diameter of 138.6 metres, one of the largest in the Greek world, and originally had 67 rows of seating, mostly cut into the living rock, and divided into nine sectors (cunei) by access stairs. A

Wings' forwards were very good at initiating contact, instead of allowing the Flames' big defensemen push them around.
Consider the playoff monkey firmly off Pavel Datsyuk's back. Coming into this year's playoffs, Datsyuk had not scored a goal since Game 7 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals. Tonight he played like a man possessed, coming out strong from the beginning and nearly scoring a couple times before he took a Tomas Holmstrom pass on a 2-on-1 break and slipped the puck between Mikka Kiprusoff's legs 6:56 into the second period. Datsyuk added an assist on Mathieu Schneider's goal 3 minutes later.
The Wings' defensemen did an incredible job of jumping into the play on offense and creating scoring chances. Valtteri Filppula's first period goal was set up by Brett Lebda,'Giving midwifery care: student midwives' views of their working role.

to the rear of Intervenor Bank. About April, 1958, the bank offered to buy this lot from the city for $42,500, for use as a parking lot for its patrons and possibly for future drivein banking facilities. At that time the city council was seeking additional parking area in the vicinity and was considering the purchase of Lots 5 and 6 in Block 5. These two lots are referred to in this record as tract "B". The area of tract "B" is double that of tract "A". Block 5 is immediately east of Block 6 and tracts "A" and "B" are in the business district and are both one half block south of Bremer Avenue, the main retail and business street of the city. That both tracts arewell located for municipal parking lots is shown without substantial dispute.
There was no evidence the value of Lot "A" was more than the sale price of $42,500. Tract "B" was offered to the city for $65,000 with $5,000 additional expense for the removal of a building thereon. Cash on hand in the city parking meter fund, added to the $42,500 from the sale of "A" would enable the city to purchase "B" without incurring any debt. This plan to increase the parking area in the district was considered at various meetings of the city council commencing with April, 1958, and at the public meeting held September 3, 1958, at which it was adopted by the city council. The contracts to sell "A" and purchase "B" were executed September

Volume 2, Article 44 (2010)
There it was. Bombay. E.M. Forster, affectionately called Morgan by his friends, hurried to the railing of the ship to get a better view. The blue sparkling water stretched out before him until it met land on the horizon where buildings and bustling communities nestled among green trees. Forster had been sailing for two weeks. He was tired and dirty. The heat bothered him. It had forced him to sleep on deck where he could catch the occasional cool breeze. His friends Robert Trevelyan and Goldworthy Lowes Dickinson, or “Goldie,” were with him at the railing. The three men chirped about the welcome scene of city life. Forster breathed a sigh of relief. Here he would be liberated from the constraints of Britain. Forsterachieved some celebrity after the recent publication of Howards End. This getaway would enable him to escape the public gaze. Soon he would see his friend and sometime lover Syed Ross Masood, and also his friend Malcolm Darling, who had recently attained a favorable post in the Indian Civil Service. On this autumn day in 1912, Forster did not know that his journey would inspire his best fiction yet.
Forster made two long trips to India during which he observed district collectors, local laws, and local courtrooms at work. He spent most of his time in territories ruled by Hindu maharajahs. His experiences in India suggest that his familiarity with colonial law was greater than that of the average Englishman living in India and certainly greater than that of

a pretext for colonial rule, or else a grave mistake.
Forster and District Collectors in India
During the early weeks of his six-month visit to India, Forster enjoyed a country expedition, arranged by Masood, with a district collector, the local magistrate and revenue administrator. Attentive as he was, Forster must have scrutinized this collector as he scrutinized other figures he encountered (Furbank 226). Forster often recorded his observations of people and based fictional characters on those observations. He even seemed at times to blur the distinction between reality and fantasy. “Forster conducted his life as if everyone lived in a novel,” submits Wendy Moffat, adding that he carefully observed every occasion and subjected “even the most clear-cut matters” to interpretation (12). This trait was not lost on those who encounteredForster in India. After the publication of Passage, many of these individuals saw themselves in the various characters of the novel. Forster did not even bother concealing the identity of Mr. Godbole, a Brahman whom Foster met in Lahore (Sarker 50 and Furbank 249). Godbole appears in the novel with his name and identity intact.
During his second trip to India, roughly one decade after his first trip, Forster visited with Rupert Smith, a former assistant magistrate who had since become a district collector. Smith’s house, befitting his social station, was impressive. Smith was “rather proud” of this house, but was “later annoyed to see [it] vilified in A Passage to India” (Furbank 92). It would, I think, be fair to say that Smith and the other collectors whom

The man who gave “two cheers for democracy” defied political labels. In his personal philosophy, Forster resisted colonialism but nevertheless participated in colonialism. He decried the exploitation of local Indian peoples and cultures yet exploited those peoples and cultures, most notably by taking part in the sexual trafficking of young boys. If Passage is a political novel, it is not one that champions an abstract cause. Instead, it is one that seeks to unite individuals despite their fragmented societies.
The Role of District Collector
Partly because of Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay’s codes, and partly because of the British need to establish powerful offices that would entice colonizers to remain in India rather than return to England, collectors gained extraordinary powers between 1857 and 1909 (Arora and Goyal 243). “In himto keep local populations under constant surveillance as required by Macaulay’s legal codes (Kumar and Verma 66–67).
Macaulay was a British statesman and a man of letters who participated on the Supreme Council of India in the early 19th century. In this position, Macaulay advised George Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India, regarding the laws of India. The best known of these efforts is probably the Indian Penal Code, the introductory footnote to which proclaims, “These papers […] are by no means merely of Indian interest, for, while they were the commencement of a new system of law for India, they chiefly relate to general principles of jurisprudence which are of universal application” (Macaulay, The Complete Works 551). This short footnote exemplifies the extent to which doctrinaire utilitarian paternalism

the office of district collector was supposed to embody something different from rule of law. Law was the province of district judges, for whom “the rule of law, though built on English ideas, was presumed to embody universal principles of justice, and assumed as well that men everywhere would, unless checked, abuse power to their own advantage” (Metcalf 27). For the district collectors, however, “India was a different kind of place from England, so much so that even despotism, so long as it was exercised by enlightened rulers, might properly flourish” (Metcalf 27). The district collector seems to have been an English official with interests in Indian ways.
Turton embodies this tension in the novel. While Forster shows his readers that rule of law is but a farce inChandrapore because it completely fails to secure justice for Aziz and others, Forster also implies that the office of district collector is bound to fail because there are too many contradictions at its core. Aziz is not convicted, but that is because the courtroom is not British-controlled but rather presided over by an Indian judge. Although Turton tries to straddle English and Indian societies, he ultimately throws in his lot with the British, his own kind. Supplanting the laws and offices of the land with the laws and offices of the colonizer turns out to be disastrous for both the British and Indian characters. Even the office of district collector, which is supposed to pander to Indian interests, cannot endure for too long because it is bound up

is because the system of patronage does not work that way she was led to believe it works.
Helping a constituent get a state go job is still not a crime, no matter what the editorial writers at The Boston Globe may say. Ortiz's problem is that she bought into patronage abuse at the Probation Department as criminal activity exposed by the Globe in a series of stories.
The paper, which named her "Bostonian of the Year" in 2011 after she successfully prosecuted former House Speaker Sal DiMasi on unrelated corruption charges, led her into the investigation. But she went willingly along because, as she said, she was dealing with "the culture of corruption" on Beacon Hill.
Now, after a two-year investigation of the relationship of legislators with the Probation Department,Ortiz came up empty. And if you missed news of her indictment -- or non-indictment -- story, it is understandable. The indictment of O'Brien and his two deputies got lost in the middle of the massive coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Lost in the story was the fact that, despite all the publicity and hoopla over Ortiz's investigation, she failed to find even one of the 200 members of the Legislature guilty of any wrongdoing in the hiring practices of the Probation Department.
She might have had better luck if she went after Karzai and the CIA.
It is tough to admit you were wrong, or that you were led astray. And Ortiz is not about to admit either.
Rather than state that she found no criminal wrongdoing among legislators, Ortiz

MARVEL, Vice Chancellor:
Willard Saulsbury died in 1927, leaving a last will and testament which together with its codicil disposed of the bulk of his estate by creating a trust after making a number of bequests to numerous Delaware relatives and charities following a life estate to his wife. He also excluded his Kent County farms from the trust by devising them to a nephewand his son for life and upon failure of issue of the son to the State of Delaware. He appointed trustees as follows:
"* * * I appoint my friends Hugh M. Morris and Victor B. Woolley, Trustees of the property and estate hereby given and devised in trust and direct that upon the decease of either one of them The Washington Loan and Trust Company of Washington, D. C., of which I am now (1926) a director, become and be a co-trustee with the survivor of them."
On February 22, 1945, Victor B. Woolley, trustee, died, and on March 23, 1945, The Washington Loan and Trust Company filed in this Court its acceptance, as of February 22, 1945, of the office of co-trustee of the Saulsbury trust. On the

Such trustee, when appointed, will, of course, share trust responsibilities with The Riggs National Bank. Willard Saulsbury, despite his legal, political, and banking interests in Washington, clearly looked upon himself as a Delawarean, as stated at the beginning of his will. He entrusted the administration of his trust to two Delawarean friends, both of them learned in the law, who served together for eighteen years as co-trustees. I am satisfied that, insofar as possible, a similar person should be appointed to serve as co-trustee with Riggs.

Widely diverging regional expectations emerge
By
WilliamL. Watts
DAVOS, Switzerland (MarketWatch) -- Fears of an economic downturn weighed down expectations for revenue growth among corporate bosses in North America and Europe, but have yet to dampen the growing confidence of CEOs from emerging economies, according to an annual survey of CEOs released on the eve of the annual gathering of elite politicians and business leaders in the Swiss Alps.
Overall, the annual PricewaterhouseCoopers Global CEO survey found that confidence was on the decline for the first time in five years, with 50% of CEOs "very confident" about revenue growth over the next 12 months, down from 52% the previous year.
But the survey points to widely diverging regional expectations, with CEOs from North America and Europe less

while 1% were "not confident at all."
Fears of economic downturn top worries about overregulation
CEOs cited a potential economic downturn as the major threat to business growth prospects in the next year, the first time such a concern has topped the survey's findings in its 11-year history, PricewaterhouseCoopers said.
Overregulation - a perennial top worry for elite executives - was mentioned as a top concern by 59% of CEOs, the survey found, down from 73% in the 2007 survey.
The survey also pointed to a boost in international deal-making. Twenty-four percent of top executives said their firm had completed at least one cross-border merger or acquisition in the past 12 months, while 31% said they planned to do a transaction in the coming year.

Pope Francis challenged business leaders assembled in Davos on Tuesday to put their wealth at the service of humanity instead of leaving most of the world’s population in poverty and insecurity.
In a message to more than 2,500 participants at the annual World Economic Forum, the pontiff urged industrialists and bankers to promote inclusive prosperity, but stopped short of chiding them for excesses laid bare by the global financial crisis.

it,” Pope Francis said in the message read at the opening ceremony by Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Peace and Justice.
The Argentinian pope, who has identified strongly with the poor since his election last year and severely criticized capitalism, acknowledged that business had helped lift millions out of poverty, even if it had led to widespread social exclusion.
“The growth of equality demands something more than economic growth, even though it presupposes it. It demands first of all ‘a transcendent vision of the person’,” he said in the message.
“It also calls for decisions, mechanisms and processes directed to a better distribution of wealth, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality.”
Rising income disparityhow several reports described the killing of Rwidy, parroting statements by the Jerusalem police that his death was the result of a fight. The two main assailants were initially indicted for manslaughter before overwhelming evidence forced Israeli government prosecutors to charge them with premeditated murder. As with the reaction by prominent Israeli media figures to Feeling the Hate, the racist behavior of Jewish nationalists was downplayed as a product of intoxication, if not dismissed altogether, while the incident was portrayed as an aberration. Any reflection about the trend of racial murders inside Israel was officially discouraged (“Murder of Palestinian highlights Israeli judicial discrimination,” 972mag.com, 23 February 2011). And so the band plays on.

The Golden State Warriors announced Saturday that an MRI exam on the team's top reserve revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Rush's left knee. He will have season-ending surgery in the coming days. The typical rehabilitation time is at least nine months.
"He's not doing great. He's devastated as you can imagine," said Rush's agent, Mark Bartelstein. "It's a traumatic thing to go through for anybody. We're going to figure it out and work with the Warriors and come up with a great plan to get him back. But for the moment, it's devastating with surgery and rehab ahead of you."
All the good vibes entering Golden State's home opener fizzled in an instant.

3-point range -- sixth-best in the NBA -- and was Golden State's best option off the bench.
"It's a tough time," Jackson said Saturday night before the Warriors played the Clippers in Los Angeles. "It's a blow for us, no question about it, because we lose our best perimeter defender. Some teams you probably don't have to address when something like this happens, but this is an extremely close-knit group, and you could tell they were affected as soon as it happened."
Rush was drafted No. 13 by Portland in 2008 after leading Kansas to the national championship. He was then traded to Indiana along with Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts for Jerryd Bayless and Ike Diogu.
Rush originally declared for the NBA draft in the 2007 season until he torethe anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He never signed with an agent and returned to school, playing for the Jayhawks again only six months after surgery.
Just as he did before, those around him believe he will make a full recovery.
"He's strong minded," Bartelstein said. "Right now it's hard. I have no doubt he'll do great."

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown suggested that the Republican foreign policy establishment may want to see President Donald Trump impeached after dining with two of its most prominent members.
Last weekend, the legendary California Democrat wrote about a dinner invitation he received from former Secretary of State George Shultz and his wife Charlotte. In his San Francisco Chronicle column, Brown revealed that former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger attended the private dinner along with Michael Bloomberg, California Governor Jerry Brown (and his wife Anne), Tom Steyer, California gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newson (and his wife Jennifer), and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee (and his wife Anita).
“The Republicans, at that level, do not want Trump in the Republican Party. They don’t want that burden,” Brown toldRepublican candidates:

Senor, another prominent and nasty Never Trumper who has tried to undermine Trump since the 2016 election cycle, even tweeted a pro-McMaster article from the National Review, which smeared Trump’s supporters as bigots during the 2016 election while infamously publishing a “Never Trump” edition of its flailing magazine.

Russell Martin
Entering his walk-year as a free agent, it's been a rough season for the Yankees' catcher, as his power numbers are down and his batting average is below .200.
He's dealt with nagging injuries recently, which has also caused a drop-off in production.
His defense behind the plate has still been good despite the nagging injuries, managing the Yankees pitching staff and calling the games behind the plate, which is ultimately the biggest importance of Martin's role with the team.
However, if he could hit for a higher average, that would not only benefit Martin, but the Yankees as well.
Cody Eppley
When the season started, nobody really knew who Cody Eppley was, but because of injuries to the Yankees' bullpen, it gave the 26-year-old an opportunity.
He was called up on April20 and has done a great job with the Yankees in the bullpen.
In 29 appearances, he's pitched in 23.1 innings and has a 2.70 ERA with 14 strikeouts. He does have 11 walks and his control can be erratic at times, but given that he barely pitched for the Rangers in 2011, he's been a steady arm in the Yankees' bullpen.
In the second half, it'll be interesting to see how Eppley can perform for the Bombers in key games when they are chasing a pennant.
Boone Logan
Boone Logan went from being the third lefty in the Yankees' bullpen to the number one lefty by default in 2011 due to injuries to Damaso Marte and Pedro Feliciano.
Feliciano is still on the DL and Marte is out of baseball, but Logan

be the final hurrah for the Yankees closer.
That was until May 3, 2012, when Mariano Rivera was shagging fly balls in the outfield of Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City and tore his ACL, which required surgery and he was expected to miss the rest of the 2012 season.
Rivera quickly declared that he was not through just yet and wanted to return for the Yankees in 2013 because he didn't want his career to end like that.
However, there's some hope for Rivera in 2012, as Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that Dr. Keith Pyne said that Rivera's rehab is progressing faster than expected and there's a slight chance he might make it back for 2012.
In May, the Yankees didn't expect to see Rivera back until 2013.12 CRPF personnel killed in terror attacks in Kashmir
Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) SP Pani told reporters that it was a terror incident and an investigation is being conducted to ascertain the nature of the explosion. This is the deadliest attack on security forces in Kashmir since September 2016 when an Army camp was stormed by terrorists in Uri, killing 19 soldiers.
In one of the deadliest attacks in the valley since Uri in September 2016, at least 12 CRPF personnel were killed on Thursday as a convoy of the paramilitary force was targeted by terrorists in Awantipora area on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway.
The attack happened around 3.15 pm when the convoy was moving from Jammu to Srinagar, police sources said. The toll is expected to go up, the
