must come to the present moment and not be tainted by rituals and dogmas. He took everything Krishnamurti said about religion and applied it to the martial arts."
How Lee's mind helped him survive a crisis
Lee's devotion to philosophy could have just remained an abstract pursuit. But it was also key to his physical speed and power. One martial artist said that Lee had the ability to move from perfect stillness and "explode like a firecracker."
Lee could do that because he was able to tap into what ancient Chinese philosophers called "chi."
In his book, "The Warrior Within," Little described chi as a "vast reservoir of free-flowing energy" within all people that "when channeled to our muscles, can give us great strength and, when channeled to our brain, can givebeliefs could have been confined to books, but they were refined by events in his life that would have broken lesser people.
First, he had to deal with racism -- from both sides.
He was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Hong Kong in an affluent family. His father was an opera star and Lee became a childhood actor who appeared in at least 20 Chinese films. Lee started studying martial arts when he was 13 but his instructor stopped personally teaching him when he learned that Lee's mother was part White, biographers say.
I feel I have this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence. Bruce Lee, martial artist and philsopher
That experience shaped in part his decision

to teach the martial arts to Westerners after he moved to America when he turned 18, some say. Teaching the martial arts to Westerners was taboo at the time, but Lee didn't care, says Doug Palmer, who was one of Lee's first students in America.
"I think the fact that he [Lee] was part white had something to do with it," Palmer says about Lee's decision to teach Westerners. "He himself had to overcome obstacles in Hong Kong because he was part white."
Lee then encountered racism from Hollywood.
He had gone to Hollywood with an idea for a television drama about the martial arts. They took his idea but rejected him for a role in the series because they thought he looked too Chinese for an America audience. They gavehis role to an American actor and dancer. The drama would eventually become a hit television show called "Kung Fu."
Lee also suffered a crippling back injury during training. Doctors told him he would never walk properly again and could never practice the martial arts. It was a low moment in his life. He was bedridden with a wife and two young children to support. At one point he only had $50 in the bank. He could have fallen into a debilitating depression but he overcame his injury through positive visualization, and he used that time to write his groundbreaking book, "Jeet Kune Do," says Thomas, one of his biographers.
"He healed himself," Thomas says.
Lee's belief in the power of positive thinking comes through in a letter he wrote to

He wrote:
"I mean who has the most insecure job than I have? What do I live on? My faith in my ability that I'll make it. Sure my back injury screwed me up good for a year but with every adversity comes a blessing... Look at a rain storm; after its departure everything grows.
Lee's legacy today
Lee eventually broke through. He went to Hong Kong to make a series of films that caught Hollywood's attention. He then returned to Hollywood to make "Enter the Dragon," which became a huge hit.
But Lee never lived long enough to see the culmination of all of his work.
Just days before the American release of "Enter the Dragon," in 1973, Lee died in Hong Kong froman allergic reaction to pain medication he had taken. He was 32. Lee's son, Brandon, who would follow him into the martial arts and film, would later die in 1993 from a freak accident with a prop gun on a movie set.
Lee's friends still miss him. They talk less about his fighting ability and more about what fun he was to be around: his restless questioning, his optimism, his goofy sense of humor and his loyalty to friends.
"He was a very charismatic person," says Palmer, who is now an attorney in Seattle. "He could dominate most situations. You walk into a room and in most cases he would dominating the conversation."
Lee's influence transcends the martial arts, Inosanto says.

The brother of accused serial killer Bradley Robert Edwards insists his sibling is innocent.
Mr Edwards - a 50-year-old suspected of being the Claremont serial killer - is preparing to fight a string of murder and rape charges dating back to the late 1980s to the mid 90s.
His younger brother in the meantime penned an email to The Weekend West to say the family of the accused was behind him every step of the way.
'My brother is innocent and ... this will be made evident as the case unfolds,' the email read.
The brother of accused serial killer Bradley Robert Edwards (pictured) has broken his silence to defend his sibling's innocence
The immediate family has visited Mr Edwards in prison and spoken to him at every opportunity.
Though, they have been givenlegal advice to stay away from his court appearances.
Mr Edwards is accused of attacking an 18-year-old girl in her Huntingdale home in Perth in 1988 and allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl in Karrakatta Cemetery in 1995.
Police also allege he is responsible for the abduction and murder of Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon from the upmarket Claremont suburb between January 1996 and March 1997.
Mr Edwards was arrested in December 2016 after forensic evidence allegedly linked him to the attacks.
At a pre-trial directions hearing last week, it emerged the prosecution wanted to use the DNA or fingerprint traces to connect Mr Edwards with the series of crimes.
The Supreme Court heard while Mr Edwards denied all the allegations brought against him in a six-hour interview with police, he failed

I. agent testified that appellant, after being advised of his rights, had made a statement to him denying that he had transported his wife from Albany to Bridgeport for any purpose, and that he knew Gretchen Ferguson or that he had been in Bridgeport during the past twenty years.

At the close of the government's case appellant moved unsuccessfully to dismiss the indictment for failure of proof. Appellant called only one witness, an F. B. I. agent, for questioning concerning statements made to him by the Fergusons. Both sides rested and appellant renewed his motion. After considerable discussion in chambers, Judge Foley recognized the apparentin New York City. These statements were apparently true. He also told him he had not transported his wife from Albany to the Ferguson's home in Bridgeport. As set out above there is no positive evidence that appellant did transport the "victim" from Albany to New York. The evidence shows that appellant and his wife, residents of Albany, New York, after a telephone call by the wife from an undisclosed place, arrived in Bridgeport, Connecticut in a car with New York license plates driven by the appellant.

He also told the agent he had only been in Bridgeport once in his life, almost twenty years ago, and, that during the period June 22 to July 10 he had been at work in Kerhonkson and only had occasion to leave

there a few times to visit his wife in Albany. These statements were shown to be false, and can serve as independent circumstantial evidence to support the testimony that he brought his wife to Bridgeport and was there on at least two other occasions, and to show that he came from New York.
16
The trouble is that appellant's statement to the agent that "he had not transported Ernestine from Albany, New York to any place in the United States for the purpose of prostitution," was not shown to be false by other evidence. There is no evidence to show that appellant ever intended his wife to engage in prostitution or that he knew that the Ferguson's home was a house of prostitution.

Most expansion states (20 of 30) either had no wait list for home- and community-based services or had a decrease in their wait list from 2014 to 2015, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Two states completely cleared their wait lists between 2014 and 2015.
The average increase in wait lists in non-expansion states was more than 2.5 times that of expansion states in 2014 and 2015, according to Kaiser. In fact, Cruz’s home state of Texas was one of two states that reported the longest waiting

A stripper claims Drake's people threatened her after the singer had sex with her ... and now there's an official police investigation ... TMZ has learned.
The Houston PD confirms to TMZ ... they've launched an investigation ... but the official document only identifies the male party as a "possible celebrity."
We've learned the stripper -- Jhonni Blaze -- told cops she and Drake had sex one time and he believed she was going to talk publicly about it.
Blaze says that's when Drake began "angrily" texting her. She says several people from Drake's camp then came to her house, banged on her door and threatened her life.
Blaze went to cops but says she's not sure if she wants to follow through and press charges.

The Bell Jar was first released in England in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. It received lukewarm reviews with most critics highlighting the personal yet detached voice of novel. An anonymous review stated 'it read so much like the truth that it is hard to disassociate her from Esther Greenwood, the 'I' of the story, but she had the gift of being able to feel and yet to watch herself: she can feel the desolation and yet relate this to the landscape of everyday life'. This shows how thenovel was seen to be autobiographical even before it was known who the author was, and before comparisons of plot construct and the life of the author could be made. This shows how the tone, which some may say is confessional, leads readers to analyse the work from a psycho-biographical standpoint. Laurence Lerner equates the detachment, which the anonymous reviewer highlights, with Esthers neurosis deriving from her role as satirist of the world around her, and he sees her 'Bell Jar' as one of a detached observer. ...read more.

Plath essays
The women not only feel lonely, but also neglected and unwanted in their old age. This is because they sit in the home knitting and leading a simple, boring life with no sign of their children or grandchildren to brighten up their day or check up on them.
Their force is unstoppable and she is not equipped to fight it: there is a tone oh hopelessness and almost decisive statement that the speaker shall be defeated soon. This could suggest both Plath's suicide and also the accusative message towards the males in her life.
However, she may also use this metaphor to show the scale of her emotional pain - the physical pain of the Jewish people equates to her emotional pain through living with her father. It alsoto the United States when he was 15, and later taught at Boston University (Modern Poetry, p. 1417). Yet he died while Plath was still quite young.
The robotic undertone of the poem gives the idea that marriage is forced and hasn?t got the warmth of a decent human relationship, giving the feeling of isolation and being un-unique in a controlling world.

The chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea council has resigned amid criticism over the borough's response to the Grenfell Tower fire.
Nicholas Holgate said Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid asked for him to go - this is denied by the government.
Mr Holgate said last week's fire in North Kensington, in which at least 79 people died, was "heart-breaking" but his presence would be a "distraction".
Residents had condemned the initial relief effort as "absolute chaos".
In a statement issued by the council on Wednesday, Mr Holgate, who has been in post since 2014, said it was the "highest priority" of the council to help families affected by the fire.

Government staff and other London boroughs were drafted in to help with relief efforts in the wake of the fire, with humanitarian assistance being provided by the west London borough of Ealing.
The Justice4Grenfell campaign group welcomed Mr Holgate's resignation.
The group's spokeswoman, Yvette Williams, told the Press Association: "He wasn't left with any alternative, I think it was the right thing for him to do, the community had been completely abandoned by the local authority."

The council's £8.6m refurbishment of the tower has also faced questions, with suggestions that new cladding fitted during the refurbishment could have made the blaze worse.
The refurbishment will be one issuelooked at by a full public inquiry into the fire, ordered by Theresa May last week.
The PM, who is among those to have faced criticism after she failed to meet survivors in the immediate aftermath, has apologised for "State" failures after the blaze. She is expected to make a statement about the fire in the House of Commons on Thursday.
She told MPs on Wednesday: "People were left without belongings, without roofs over their heads, without even basic information about what had happened, what they should do and where they could seek help."

Get news from theThe Masters: Why the man who designed Augusta died in poverty
Dr. Alister MacKenzie, a physician turned golf architect, was the brains behind Augusta National -- one of the most famous golf courses in the world, and host of the prestigious Masters tournament. But its designer died penniless and pleading for his fee.
MacKenzie was enlisted to design Augusta by golf's leading Bobby Jones who, after announcing his shock retirement in 1930 at the peak of his powers, wanted to build a course where he could play with his friends away from the spotlight.
Jones and MacKenzie were united by a shared philosophy of providing a course that is both playable and challenging for all types of golfers. Augusta was built on a former fruit plantation in Georgia in just 76

days.
MacKenzie's early designs feature elaborate bunkers throughout the course but the Scot was more focused on using the contours of the land by the time he got to Augusta. However, there are still a few dangerous bunkers dotted around the revered course.
MacKenzie declared Augusta his "finest work" but he never got to see the finished course and died a few months before the first Masters was held in 1934. He never received full payment from the club, which struggled financially in its early years.
Jones was convinced to employ MacKenzie to design his own course after playing at Cypress Point in Monterey, California. MacKenzie's design maximized its proximity to the rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean, and many consider it to be his masterpiece.
Alongside Augusta and Cypress Point, MacKenzie'smost celebrated course is Royal Melbourne's west course in Australia. Those three regularly feature in the upper echelons of any list detailing the world's best golf courses.
MacKenzie's footprint stretched far and wide, from Argentina to Augusta, Mexico to Ireland. His 1920 book entitled "Golf Architecture" is still referred to by modern designers, and though he died 80 years ago, his ideas live on in courses all over the world.
(CNN) -- "Can you possibly let me have, at any rate, five hundred dollars to keep us out of the poor house?"
These are not the words you expect to hear from a man who designed one of the world's most famous golf courses.

the Masters -- died pleading poverty in 1934 and begging for his fee.
He never even saw his finished work before his death, which came less than three months before the first Masters tournament was held.
"I have been reduced to playing golf with four clubs," he wrote in a letter to Augusta National, recorded in "The Making of the Masters," a book by David Owen commissioned by the club.
"I am at the end of my tether, no-one has paid me a cent since last June, we have mortgaged everything we have and have not yet been able to pay the nursing expenses of my wife's operation."
MacKenzie, a physician turned golf architect, had embarked on a pilgrimage that had taken him from a modest town in northern England to thepacific coast in California.
His journey incorporated a stint in the Boer War, which influenced his underpinning principles of course design, and saw his work evolve during the boom and bust years of the 1920s.
By the time he was enlisted to build a championship course for all of America by its biggest sports star of the age, MacKenzie was the preeminent golf architect of his time.
Bobby Jones had won the grand slam as an amateur in 1930 -- capturing all four major tournaments in the calendar year -- before he stunned the public by announcing his retirement aged just 28.

twin benefits: sanctuary from his fame and a healthy stream of income.
But though Jones declared himself delighted with the finished product, and its architect trumpeted Augusta as his finest creation, MacKenzie was almost destitute by the time he died.
He halved his fee to $5,000 in a bid to be paid quickly, but clawed back just $2,000, with several other golf courses also slow to settle their debts.
It was symptomatic of the financial difficulties Augusta encountered in its fledgling years, exacerbated by the Great Depression, a fact that seems inconceivable given the club's towering strength in the present day.
"Augusta struggled a lot in the early years and found it very hard to attract members they wanted," Adam Lawrence, editor of Golf Course Architecture magazine, told CNN.
"They were really strugglingfor money. MacKenzie didn't get full payment paid for his work at Augusta -- until he died he was writing letters asking perhaps they could send part of the fee.
"MacKenzie divorced his first wife and was living what would appear to be an expensive lifestyle in California. He was basically bankrupt when he died.
"There were a lot of golf architects from that time who were the same. Most seemed to be terrible businessmen and there were a few bad habits like too much booze flying around."
Humble beginnings
MacKenzie's portrait still watches over the course where his maverick design ideas were first put into practice over 100 years ago.

working in a style that was appropriate of the era of depression when Augusta was built. It wasn't about sand or water -- what defined it were the contours of the land.
"You can take a flag stick and put in a flat area and it's a very easy golf hole; you can put it behind a little hump and it's an almost impossible golf hole."
The genius of Augusta
In those early years of struggle, the notion of Augusta preparing to host the 78th installment of the Masters in 2014 would have seemed quite fanciful.
As Owen reports in "The Making of the Masters," let alone having the funds to pay MacKenzie for his design, the club could barely cover its staff's $200 weekly wage bill in the early 1930s.
The ideato create a yearly tournament, initially called the Augusta National Invitational Tournament, helped stave off the threat of financial ruin and generated plenty of interest when Jones came out of retirement to play in the first one.

But what really catapulted the club into the public's consciousness was Gene Sarazen's "shot heard around the world" during the 1935 event.
The American was trailing the leaders by three shots when his double eagle on the par-five 15th hole helped him cut the deficit with one stroke, paving the way for his eventual win in a playoff.
That landmark moment is testament to the principals upon which MacKenzie's design was built.
Various tweaks over the years have stripped many of his original features from the course, most

The Intercontinental Rally Challenge has been boosted by speculation that Sebastien Ogier and Mikko Hirvonen will return to the series in the next two events.
Ogier has been tipped to drive a Peugeot 207 S2000 on Rally d'Italia-Sardegna and on the Ypres Rally, while Ford's Hirvonen has been linked to a Fiesta S2000 run on the Belgian event.
Ogier and Hirvonen, both of whom compete in the World Rally Championship for Citroen and Ford respectively, starred on the opening round of this year's IRC - the Monte Carlo Rally. Hirvonen won the event, while Ogier set fastest times but retired with mechanical problems. Both said at the time they would like to return to IRC later in the year.

Trump was elected on Nov. 9, 2016, exactly 27 years after Germans celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall that had divided their country for nearly three decades. The wall was erected in 1961 to prevent a massive emigration from East Germany to West Germany. It is now referred to as the “Wall of Shame.”
In 1963, then-U.S. President John F. Kennedy proclaimed “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner) during a famous speech in which he stressed American solidarity with West Germany after the wall was erected.
As Müller points out in his memo, America supported Berlin during the Cold War, and U.S. President Ronald Regan called for the Berlin Wall to be torn down in 1987.

The counterpart to last month's "Defender of the Fatherland" Day, today in Russia women are recognized for the things that make them special
Russian President Vladimir Putin wished the country's mothers, daughters, wives and female colleagues a happy International Women's Day, noting that the fairer sex brings beauty, brightness and hope into the world.
In a special address dedicated to International Women's Day, President Vladimir Putin warmly commended Russian women for the beauty, brightness and hope they bring into the world.
According to Putin, in Russia this holiday is celebrated with special warmth.
"Dear women, I sincerely commend you on this International Women's Day, which is marked with special warmth in Russia, perhaps more than anywhere else in the world. It is filled with gifts and flowers, as well as the kindestfeelings towards our mothers, wives, daughters and colleagues – women who all are close to our hearts," he said.
Putin heaped praise on the character traits of Russian women, which he said reflect Russia's soul.
"Women give us life; they warm us with their love, support and care. It is a woman's dignity and mercy which reveal the true [nature of the] Russian soul," he pointed out.
He expressed special gratitude to Russia's surviving female World War II veterans who helped men prevail over the enemy.
"I would like to specifically extend gratitude to the women of the war generation. Your fortitude, your feat taught us to become real men and win against all odds," Putin said.
He also pointed to a whole array of positive moments that Russian women have brought to

Riace: The Italian village abandoned by locals, adopted by migrants Published duration 25 September 2016
image copyright Francesco Pistilli image caption Riace, a traditional village on the instep of Italy's boot, has become known as a welcoming haven for migrants
image copyright Francesco Pistilli image caption Its transformation started in 1998, when a boat of Kurdish refugees became stranded on a nearby beach
image copyright Francesco Pistilli image caption The town's mayor, Domenico Lucano, saw an opportunity, after many of its original residents had fled the town for northern Italy, in pursuit of work
image copyright Francesco Pistilli image caption Lucano proposed the refugees should stay in the village and take over the abandoned homes
image copyright Francesco Pistilli image caption Since then, the migration crisis has come to dominate Europe's headlines, withItaly one of the frontline countries

The hilltop medieval village of Riace on Italy's south coast was almost a ghost town 15 years ago. Houses were derelict and the local school was near to closing.
The village was in danger of becoming extinct as residents disappeared to northern Italy, and abroad, for jobs during the economic boom.
Since then Riace has seen a change in its destiny, by openly welcoming a controlled number of migrants, who live and work as part of the community.
This transformation was instigated by the mayor, Domenico

Lucano, who set up a scheme, funded by the Italian government, to offer refugees the abandoned apartments and training. It has helped to rebuild both the town's population and economy.
"I do nothing more than what I think is right for our little community," says Lucano, who started the pioneering programme in 1998.
"The multiculturalism, the variety of skills and personal stories which people have brought to Riace have revolutionised what was becoming a ghost town.
"There were people without a house here, and there were houses without people here. It's simple."
This year, Lucano was named by Fortune magazine as one of the world's 50 greatest leaders . The honour puts him in the company of names such as Pope Francis, Apple chief Tim Cook and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
About450 migrants, drawn from more than 20 countries beyond Europe, are living in Riace - about a quarter of the village's total population. Inevitably, there are some tensions with locals - yet Lucano has earned enough respect to be serving his third term as mayor.
Some of the children are originally from Ethiopia but have grown up in Riace and speak fluent Italian, in addition to English and their native tongue.

Not all the residents are confident Italian speakers though. Tahira (above) fled Afghanistan and since arriving in Riace has learned embroidery from a resident. She works as an apprentice and is improving her language skills. Her job is part of the European Integration programme for asylum seekers.

A specimen assembly comprises a hammer or tup and a weight attached to respective opposite sides of a specimen of a material being tested, the specimen being enclosed inside a spacer. The specimen is dropped from a predetermined height in the tower and is guided by rails of the tower toward the anvil with the weight in advance and the hammer trailing.

In a brief order, the Supreme Court said the request for a stay that was first submitted to Justice Sonia Sotomayor and then referred to the full court had been denied. There was no further explanation provided and no dissents filed.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) issued a final rule in December reclassifying bump stock devices as machine guns and banning their private possession. The rule gave owners 90 days to turn in or destroy the device, which allows semi-automatic weapons to fire much more rapidly.

serves the purpose of preventing unfair interference of the liberty of Americans by the government. Nevertheless, the rule does not serve to protect defendants against evidence given by private persons and is limited to the defendant only, not a third party (Jackson, 1996). The rule has the benefit of ensuring the effective enforcement of the constitutional provision on rights to privacy, unreasonable search and seizure, and the due process by the United States criminal justice system (Dripps, 2001).
Despite these benefits, critics of the exclusionary rule find it to be a negation to the function of law enforcement in realizing sustainable justice for all in the community. This is because critics argue that the rule acts as a loophole for use by some criminals to escape justice (Hendrie, 1997).However, the exclusionary rule must remain as it serves to protect the liberty rights of the American citizens against misuse of power by the government.
This paper is a discussion about the exclusionary rule. The author gives a discussion on the rationale, importance and exceptions of the exclusionary rule. The author also talks about the costs and benefits and alternative remedies to the rule.
The rationale and purpose of the Exclusionary Rule
The formulation of the exclusionary rule as a court made law necessitated by the need to enforce the constitutional provisions on liberty rights. According to the supreme court of American, only the exclusionary rule could sufficiently safeguard American from infringement of the provisions of the fourth amendment by the government (Street Law and the Supreme Court Society, 2002).

Agricultural products, such as vegetables and flowers are grown on a large scale in greenhouses throughout the world. During daylight hours, growing agricultural products introduce water vapor into a greenhouse and extract carbon dioxide from the air. Often, the addition of heat to a greenhouse on a daily basis is required depending on geographic location and season of the year. In some locations, heat is needed only at night while in other locations, heat is needed during all or part of the day. In all cases where a greenhouse is heated, some of the heat goes to evaporating water found in great abundance in a greenhouse. The vapor thus produced adds to the vapor produced by evapotranspiration of the growing products in the greenhouse with the result thatFighters of the Islamic State (Isis) in Syria have scored a major propaganda coup by capturing a Jordanian air force pilot whose plane came down on Wednesday during an air raid by the international coalition near the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto jihadi capital.
Images posted on social media showed jubilant Isis gunmen, some of them masked, with a clearly frightened man, naked from the waist down and being dragged out of a lake. He was identified as the downed pilot and named on Twitter, which displayed his military ID card, as First Lieutenant Muadh al-Kasasbeh, 26. The Jordanian military immediately described him as a “hostage”.

which Forte sat out with an injury. During the three weeks, Langford finished sixth, first, and 19th in fantasy points among running backs. He scored the most fantasy points at the position during the stretch despite averaging 3.3 yards per carry and forcing only two missed tackles on 51 tries. The game changer was Langford scoring four of his seven rookie-season touchdowns during the span.
Of those seven scores, six were of the rushing variety. Langford scored on all four of his attempts from the opponent’s 1 yard line, which is very impressive, but also very unsustainable. For perspective, the league conversion rate from 1 yard out is 53 percent. Langford’s other two rushing scores came from 2 and 6 yards out. He failed to score on 139 attemptshe was better than Langford in many areas as a rookie, including eluding tackles and post-contact production.
6. John Fox and his RBBC history
As the 2015 season wore on, the Bears shifted to a committee backfield. Many suggested this was Chicago taking a long look at the future (Langford), knowing that the past (Forte) would not be back in 2016. That makes sense, but so does head coach John Fox’s recent history (not to mention the league trend) of relying on a running back by committee. In each year since 2005, at least two of Fox’s running backs have eclipsed 95 carries. That’s not overly significant, but the top back in terms of carries has averaged 219 attempts, the second back 142 and the third 40. The split is

Then, from news footage of the south end in the collapsed state, it seems evident that it was the site of the initial collapse, since it fell to the side. From the video, we saw that the north end collapsed in a logical and symmetrical order from the stresses induced by the fall of the main span. What then could have induced the truss above the southern end of the main span to fall to the side?

of the distribution and location of the fallen main steel and the detachment and distribution of the pcc deck structure my "wild guess" is that the main cantilever truss superstructure had developed a small discontinuity at or near the top of the eastern column of the main span southern pier. This gap "worked" (opened and closed for a while). Finally the east side of the main truss superstructure broke at or south of the southern pier's east column. Then the truss superstructure sagged to the east and twisted clockwise over the 2 columm southern pier. I believe this collapse path is what caused the nothern pier to be visibly displaced southward by the falling main span.
"The response to this state of affairs is to adjust the input toroll, so the tension has to build higher to move them. The dead load (the weight of the empty bridge) had already been increased by about 25% over the years by adding the extra 2" layer of concrete, the new railings (while keeping the old ones), and the concrete median. On top of this, on the day of the crash the bridge was bearing a concentrated load on the center span due to construction materials piled there that were intended to be spread out over the entire span eventually. This construction material was not a risk in terms of its weight on the structure, but in terms of its weight on the rollers. The harder it was for them to adjust, the more potential energy the span had

interpreted as three-jet event topologies
produced by three gluons. Later, published
analyses by the same experiment confirmed
this interpretation and also the spin 1 nature
of the gluon (see also the recollection and
PLUTO experiments).
In summer 1979, at higher energies at the
electron-positron collider PETRA (DESY), again
three-jet topologies were observed, now interpreted
as qq gluon bremsstrahlung, now clearly visible,
by TASSO,MARK-J
and PLUTO experiments (later in 1980 also
by JADE). The spin 1 of the gluon was confirmed
in 1980 by TASSO and PLUTO experiments (see
also the review). In 1991 a subsequent experiment
at the LEP storage ring at CERN again confirmed
this result.The gluons play an important role
in the elementary strong interactions between
quarks and gluons, described by QCD and studied
particularly at the electron-proton collider
HERA at DESY. The number and momentum distribution
of the gluons in the proton (gluon density)
have been measuredby two experiments, H1
and ZEUS, in the years 1996-2007. The gluon
contribution to the proton spin has been studied
by the HERMES experiment at HERA. The gluon
density in the proton (when behaving hadronically)
also has been measured.Color confinement is
verified by the failure of free quark searches
(searches of fractional charges). Quarks are
normally produced in pairs (quark + antiquark)
to compensate the quantum color and flavor
numbers; however at Fermilab single production
of top quarks has been shown (technically
this still involves a pair production, but
quark and antiquark are of different flavor).
No glueball has been demonstrated.
Deconfinement was claimed in 2000 at CERN
SPS in heavy-ion collisions, and it implies
a new state of matter: quark–gluon plasma,
less interacting than in the nucleus, almost
as in a liquid. It was found at the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven in
the years 2004–2010

The initiative was triggered by the tragic death of a Danville father’s two young children.
In 2003, 10-year-old Troy Pack and his little sister Alana were struck and killed by a drunk driver, who was found to be high on Vicodin. The driver had acquired hundreds of pills from doctors. So the children’s father, Bob, tried to sue the doctors.

Andy interviews James Hetfield of Metallica
METALLICA are in the midst of their trek across North America in support of their latest album, HARDWIRED…TO SELF-DESTRUCT, and recently stopped in Newton, Iowa for a show to benefit THE NATIVE FUND, an organization started by native Iowans ASHTON KUTCHER and former NFL great DALLAS CLARK as a way to help their fellow Iowans in times of need.
Over 25,000 fans greeted the Rock Hall of Famers, who were joined by AVENGED SEVENFOLD and VOLBEAT.
Frontman JAMES HETFIELD was interviewed by LAZER 103.3 (KAZR-FM) afternoon drive host (and life-long METALLICA enthusiast) ANDY HALL, who recently released a 90-minute self-produced program entitled “METALLICA: IN THEIR WORDS,” which examines all 10 of the band’s studio albums with the four current members.

PCB hope to host international matches as well as PSL games in new venues such as Rawalpindi and Multan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning a facelift of the Pindi stadium, among others, to make them suitable venues for international as well as Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches.
Najam Sethi, the PCB chairman, said the board would spend around PKR 1 billion (approximately US$ 8.6 million) for the uplift of the Pindi stadium over the next three years.
Last month, Sethi had indicated that half of all the PSL 2019 matches would be held in Pakistan, with the tournament travelling to additional venues in its fourth season. He named the Niaz stadium in Hyderabad, the Multan stadium, the Rawalpindi stadium and Peshawar as likely venues.
The added investment is an attemptmeeting with local officials.
Rawalpindi last hosted an international match in December 2006, when the hosts took on the Windies in a one-dayer. The last Test here was the one against India in 2004, when Rahul Dravid struck 270 in a win by an innings and 131 runs for the visitors.
The National Stadium in Karachi too is undergoing renovation. Having hosted a landmark three-match Twenty20 International series against the Windies earlier this month and the PSL final in March, the venue is set to get added facilities.

Hmong community TV will hit airwaves
It may be the age of the Internet, but the airwaves are still a valuable resource, says Mitch Lee, founder of St. Paul-based Hmong TV station 3HmongTV.
The station has been chugging along since 2005 when Lee decided he wanted to create a Hmong-oriented TV station, combining his engagement with the Twin Cities Hmong community with his passion for producing video.
The modest station has grown significantly and recently hit a milestone - it will be broadcasting over a public high-definition TV signal, on Channel 50.2, starting in April.
The station shows a variety of content, including news coverage, events coverage, community talk shows and arts coverage.
The station will air in most of the Twin Cities metro, reaching far-flung communities such as New Prague,He sees the station as one way of putting him in touch with constituents.
“I’m really happy that someone else has helped take another step forward,” he says. He also predicted that Somali and Hispanic broadcast stations could follow, as has happened in other states.
“It seems very new in Minnesota, but if you look in California (and other states),” he says, “they have had whole rounds of ethnic programs for years and years.”
A lifelong passion
Lee has been into video production since he was in high school in the mid-80s, but it got put in the background as he pursued a career in information technology.
Then in 2005, he decided it was time to go back to trying video.
He recalls thinking to himself that he needed “to do something for the

The pertinent undisputed facts as gleaned from the record of the District Court's hearing on the motion to suppress are:

Special agents (Agents) of the Government's Drug Enforcement Administration had known Blalock to be a drug trafficker within the National City, California area from as early as 1972. They also knew that Larry Harvey (Harvey) was close to the drug traffic in that area.

prior transaction with Blalock for some people from Canada, and he felt if he told Blalock that these people were coming back and wanted a large amount of narcotics that Blalock would make another deal.
14
Accordingly, the Agents utilized Harvey for a week or ten days prior to June 14, 1976 as a go-between in negotiations for an undercover agent's purchase of heroin from Blalock. As negotiations progressed, Blalock on several occasions insisted he would not meet anyone but Harvey. The Agents decided to go ahead with the purchase by Harvey. Harvey made arrangements with Blalock to make the deal on June 14. Several telephone calls by Harvey for Blalock on June 14 culminated in a telephone call by Harvey to Blalock at his wheelalignment shop (shop) in National City at approximately 4:00 p. m. Harvey told Blalock that the people were agreeable to not meeting him, but that they wanted Harvey to see the drugs before they would give him the money. Blalock replied, "All right, come over to the shop. There is something I want to talk to you about." The Agents monitored the telephone conversations and arranged surveillance of the shop and backup teams. Agent Dersham drove Harvey to the area of Blalock's shop. Harvey entered the shop and in approximately ten minutes returned to Dersham's vehicle. He reported to Dersham that Blalock had taken a brown paper bag from underneath a counter located at the back of the front area of the

Here's Why America Stopped Caring About The Public Good
The slide really started more than three decades ago with so-called “tax revolts” by a middle class whose earnings had stopped advancing even though the economy continued to grow. Most families still wanted good public services and institutions but could no longer afford the tab.
Since the late 1970s, almost all the gains from growth have gone to the top. But as the upper-middle class and the rich began shifting to private institutions, they withdrew political support for public ones. In consequence, their marginal tax rates dropped — setting off a vicious cycle of diminishing revenues and deteriorating quality, spurring more flight from public institutions.
Tax revenues from corporations also dropped as big companies went global — keeping their profits overseas andtake the rocky stairs with Blaze which was quite the ordeal. Not a great place for anyone with vertigo as there are quite the steep drop offs on either side of the path, but the hand rails do make it safer.

Hydrocenidae is a taxonomic family of minute land snails or cave snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the clade Cycloneritimorpha.
Hydrocenidae are widespread across the Palearctis and Africa, but reach their highest diversity in the Oriental, Australian, and Oceanian regions. The family is poorly known and has not been revised in the past 140 years and as a consequence, the status of the various genus names (including Georissa) is uncertain.
Hydrocenidae is the only family in the superfamily Hydrocenoidea. This family has no subfamilies according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.

decreased by 50% (n = 7760) in 2007-2008 and by 29% (n = 11 039) in 2008-2009. In 2007-2008, reductions of 47% to 55% were seen for all age groups, including vaccine-ineligible children ≥2 years of age (48%). In 2008-2009, these reductions decreased in magnitude, especially among children ≥2 years of age (17%). Decreases in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 were similar in the Northeast and West, but decreases were smaller in 2008-2009, compared with 2007-2008, in the Midwest and South. Compared with prevaccine seasons, decreases in diarrhea- and rotavirus-associated hospitalizations seen in 2007-2008 were sustained in 2008-2009 but were somewhat smaller. Given the variability in diarrhea-related hospitalization trends over the 2 postvaccine seasons according to age group and region, continued surveillance is required for full assessment of the impactautomobile accident. A second auto accident occurred in 1956 which injured her neck and spine to such a degree that a 4-level fusion of her spine was performed in 1959. As was stated previously, in March of 1971 she developed pancreatitis and related stomach disorders requiring a splenectomy and gastrectomy. In May of 1971, she suffered extreme edema of her legs. In June of 1971, Spangler was involved in a third automobile accident in which her head hit the windshield causing acute musculotendinous strain of the neck and back. Finally, in September of 1972, she was hospitalized for the amputation of a toe.
A short time after receiving her injuries from the horse incident, the trial court found that Spangler telephoned INA and reported the circumstances of the accident

and her resulting injuries. At this time INA orally acknowledged Spangler's notification but did not request her to submit any written notice. From the time of the accident until April of 1974, when she first learned that her injuries would totally disable her and requested INA to change her status from that of sickness to accident, Spangler was unable to work and had spent much of her time being treated for her injuries. Upon learning of Spangler's desired status change, INA refused to honor the request citing as its reasons several paragraphs from the insurance policy.
This suit was commenced by Spangler for a declaration of her entitlement to accident benefits as a result of the November 1972 horse incident. The trial court found that she was totally andsufficient to identify the Insured, shall be deemed notice to the Company.
From the record it appears that Mrs. Spangler orally notified INA of her injuries resulting from the horse incident within 30 days of its occurrence. It also appears that her attending physician, Dr. Tuohy, sent a written report of the horse accident to INA on January 16, 1973. This initial report was supplemented with additional written progress reports by Dr. Tuohy. It was not until the spring of 1974, however, that it was finally determined that Spangler would be wholly and continuously disabled from the horse incident. At that time Spangler again orally notified INA of her condition and requested a change in her status from sickness to accident.

Sigurs and colleagues[@bib14] explored the association between an RSV infection sufficient to cause admission to hospital and the eventual development of asthma. Beginning in 1989, they identified 52 infants who were receiving treatment in hospital for RSV bronchiolitis and assessed their disease progression until they were 13 years old. The patients were matched with 93 healthy individuals of similar age and sex. When the children were 7·5 years old, those with a family history of both asthma and bronchiolitis had high rates of asthma (38%; 8 of 21 patients) compared with those

epidemics of asthma, which happen regularly in the northern hemisphere, and how these events might provide novel insights into both host and environmental factors that lead to asthma exacerbations. In Canada, the sharp increases in emergency department visits for acute asthma and admissions for childhood asthma have been predictable year-to-year. As these investigators point out, aeroallergens, air pollution, and interactions with climate can affect asthma exacerbations. To test the hypothesis that asthma exacerbations at the beginning of the school year were related to viral respiratory infections, these researchers assessed children presenting to an emergency department during 3 weeks in September along with community-recruited children with equally severe asthma who did not require acute care.[@bib62] For 62% (n=52) of the children with asthma visiting emergency departments, a respiratory virusLingyin

Lounging in the shade of that corner of the porch was a short, bearded man with thick spectacles. He wasn't particularly old – about the same age as her father – but the way he carried himself and his general expression told of hardships far beyond those experienced by a man approaching fifty. He wore a crumpled shirt with its sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and dark trousers held up with suspenders.

agriculture. First, the BRICS nations represent approximately 40% of the world population. China acts as the fulcrum of the BRICS, and its economy showed a slight slowdown in mid-2012, but with GDP growth increasing from 7.4% to 7.9% from the third to fourth quarter of 2012, its future economic growth is looking brighter. Recent changes in leadership and financial stimulus packages have resulted in the Chinese economy rebounding and expanding. One telltale sign has been the Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) above 50, indicating an expansionary phase in this economy. The health of China’s economy is critical to U.S. agriculture and commodities because China is the second largest economy in the world, so it can make a difference on a global scale.
An analysis of the other four nations comprisingthe BRICS nations finds issues including high inflation, lack of foreign investment and social and political unrest. The BRICS nations are moving into a critical stage in working together as economic allies. The BRICS countries have increased trade, investment and political support but are running into bumps in the road. For example, Brazil and Russia are in a dispute over Brazilian agricultural exports. Russia would like to position itself as an agricultural exporter providing competition to all the other BRICS nations. Slower economic growth in developed countries, as well as China and India, has resulted in a re-entrenchment of commodity prices, which has hurt Brazil.
These nations are in an economic slowdown, with India having a high inflation rate – above 7% – and also large deficits. Brazil has

had a history of hyperinflation and has high tax rates, poor infrastructure and heavy government intervention in agriculture. Russia depends on Europe’s economy – which is 26% of the world economy – for export of oil and gas, and with much of the European Union in recession, slower growth in Russia can be expected. South Africa, the largest economy on the African continent, is in the midst of labor and political issues that hinder economic growth there.
The bottom line is the next decade for the emerging BRICS nations may not be one of accelerated growth.

Germany announce 27-man squad; Gotze, Can, Mustafi dropped
16/05/2018
Midfielder Mario Goetze, who scored the winning goal in the final against Argentina four years ago, has had a lacklustre season with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
The 32-year-old Bayern Munich star is one of four goalkeepers named by head coach Joachim Loew, who will have to cut four names when the final 23-man squad is submitted for the World Cup finals, which start on June 14 in Russian Federation. However, Bayern's goalkeeper will be monitored during the training camp.
Loew had a contract until the Euro 2020 finals, but Grindel had previously stated his job is safe regardless of how Germany perform at the 2018 World Cup finals, which kick-off next month. "He is a great player but he wasn't in form",Leow said.
Yet there is no place for striker Sandro Wagner, Robert Lewandowski's back-up at Bayern Munich, who helped Germany win the Conferderations Cup in Russian Federation past year.
Loew opted for Petersen over Bayern Munich forward Sandro Wagner, giving the Freiburg player his first call-up to the national team after an excellent season.
Joachim Low has announced his 27 man squad
The FIFA World Cup titleholders will have to submit their final 23-man squad including three goalkeepers on June 4.
"It wasn't his best season".
The Premier League is also represented in the squad, with Arsenal's Mesut Ozil joined by Manchester City duo Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane, along with Chelseadefender Antonio Rudiger.
Germany will begin its World Cup defense with group games against Mexico, Sweden and South Korea. Both know that they made

referring to our captive soldier that Jon, he and I interrogated for Jean's
whereabouts.
"I mean, it's not like I know every accent in the world, but I do
know 'a lot'," Jean continued. "What's stranger, some of them were
definitely Aussies."
"There were other prisoners?" Dean asked, confused.
"No, no, I mean some of the soldiers were Aussies."
"Oh."
None of us spoke for a while. "Anyone you recognize?" Kevin asked
suddenly.
Jean stared blankly at Kevin. "One," she muttered and looked away.
'One'? There was actually someone that Jean 'knew' who was with
'them', our enemy? And he was an Aussie? My head spun with the
possibilities. These soldiers... some of them were our own? Were we being
betrayed? I turned to look at Kevin. He was pale, looking as if
scandalized. Others were wide-eyed too.
Feristel didfamiliar," Terry said as he strained his
forehead to remember.
"You know - spirits of dead people, that see-through human we see
on TV," Jay quipped, which earned him a knock in the head from an annoyed
Terry.
"Feristel."
Everybody looked at me. It was then I realized that I muttered
'his' name without realizing it.
"Back then, right before I was captured," I explained. "A man had
called us the 'ghosts'." Terry's face immediately lit up as if to say
'that's it!'. I never heard Feristel mention 'ghosts' after that though.
Jean grinned. "Yep. That's what they called us. The invisible
rebels. The uncatchable. The 'Ghosts'."
"Shit that's cool," Jay said, as if awed. We laughed at that. I
think it was because he was right.
"Jase once called us the 'formidable twelve'," I added. "Maybe we
can call ourselves 'The Formidable Ghosts'."

fire truck - giving a nod to Terry - who was beside the hose in the
truck. Just as he had practiced only an hour ago, he turned on the
pump-engine of the fire hydrant. It gave the expected rumble that would
doubtlessly alert our enemies. However, Jean had speculated that they'll
be surprised for the first few seconds, which will be more than enough for
the hydrant to be ready. And she was right.
They sounded confused(since I couldn't see them from inside the
fire station), and when Terry finally stepped out of the truck and released
the water-jet from the hose, we stepped out of our hiding places, yielding
our weapons in the most threatening manner possible. Kevin the fierce, Jean
the witty, Jay the laidback, and me surrounded our enemies on their level,
trying act coordinatedand violent at the same time. High up behind the
windows on buildings around the area was Jon the sharpshooter, Dean the
genius, Gary the technician and Irene the cautious, all playing the role as
backups via sniping. According to Jean this arrangement will make us look
large, well-planned, and effectively menacing - which was again, intended
for our objectives.
We could hear some of the soldiers screaming from the
water-jets. When Terry finally run out of water, we closed in on them with
our rifles to subdue the still conscious. Fortunately for us, almost half
their forces were rendered unconscious, and most of their weapons were
washed away anyway.
"One move and you're dead," Kevin threatened with his coldest
voice. After seeing that the soldiers weren't fighting back(probably still
dazed from the water-jets), Kevin spoke again, though he barely suppressed

In a powerful piece published Sunday in the Valley News , veteran columnist Jim Kenyon described the saga of a poverty-stricken Strafford man who was arrested for driving under the influence of a prescribed antidepressant. Three days later, Windsor County State's Attorney David Cahill announced that his office would not prosecute the man, Scott Pixley, for a DUI — butcharge him with negligent driving.The case dates back to July 31, when a Hartford police officer pulled Pixley over for allegedly veering over the center line while driving to pick up prescriptions for his elderly parents. Pixley, who works as a dishwasher, said he had been sleep-deprived and described his prescribed medications to the officer.That didn’t appease police, who, according to Kenyon, impounded Pixley's car, handcuffedin front of the window, she was the only kid there, she stopped what she was doing and took the time to come right up in front of her.

In the anatomy of the human heart, the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins. The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle. The mitral annulus comprises a fibrous ring encircling the orifice between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The mitral valve is a bicuspid valve having a posterior leaflet that cooperates with an anterior leaflet. During diastole, as the contraction triggered by the sinoatrial node progresses through the atria, oxygenated blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. In this phase, the aortic valve leading into the ascending aorta closes, allowing the left ventricle to fill with blood. A similar flow of venous blood occurs from the right atrium through the pulmonary valve to theCummings says nephew was disciplined, focused
John Fritze and Steve Kilar, The Baltimore Sun
Remembering his nephew as a gregarious and entrepreneurial student who "was going to be somebody," Rep. Elijah E. Cummings said Monday that his killing should prompt university officials everywhere to reassess off-campus security.
Christopher Cummings, who had just completed his junior year at Old Dominion University and had decided to study law, was shot to death Friday in the house where he lived with other students near the Norfolk, Va., campus. He was 20. Police have not identified a suspect or a motive for the killing.
"I believe that Christopher was bearing tremendous gifts," Cummings said Monday. "Unfortunately, because of some thugs down there in Norfolk, he will not be able to deliver those gifts."

he hoped the incident would spur officials at Old Dominion and the city of Norfolk to step up security in the neighborhoods around the school. He cited a spate of burglaries that occurred in the month leading up to the shooting.
"The more I've learned about this, I think some of these kids are in a situation where they're almost like sitting ducks," Cummings said. "There are a lot of students who I really wonder about as far as their safety is concerned."
Susan Malandrino, a spokeswoman for the 24,000-student university, said that "safety has always been a priority around campus." The university's president, John R. Broderick, wrote a letter to students and faculty over the weekend noting that the university had recently urged city officials and landlords to institutestronger safety measures.
An outspoken critic of the witness intimidation campaign known as "Stop Snitching," Cummings stressed that anyone with information about his nephew's killing should contact local police.
He said he has attended many funerals for young people shot in Baltimore, but this is the first time his family has been touched by such violence.
The congressman said he would speak with his nephew, the son of his brother James Cummings, about every six weeks when the family came together for holidays. Christopher Cummings grew up in Woodbridge, Va., where he graduated with honors from Forest Park High School.
The Theta Chi fraternity at Old Dominion held a candlelight vigil Saturday night for Cummings, who was a member of the fraternity, and his roommate Jake Carey, who was also shot in

the incident. Police said Carey is being treated for life-threatening injuries.
Benjamin Thompson, president of the local chapter of the fraternity, referred calls to the university.
Jeffrey Toussaint, a sociology lecturer at the university who taught Christopher Cummings in a class last fall, said the neighborhoods just off campus are a mix of middle-income students and low-income, long-time residents.
"It does lead to crime sometimes," said Toussaint. He said he believes the university is doing its best to address the issue.
Toussaint said Cummings quickly stood out in the 70-student introduction to sociology course last year.
"He was always engaged, and was always ready with something to say," Toussaint said. "He saw the big picture of humanity."
The shooting occurred in the House district of Republican Rep. Scott Rigell. A spokeswoman for Rigell, Kimthe higher-education safety nonprofit Security on Campus Inc., said universities typically do not have legal authority to police off-campus areas. That responsibility generally falls to local police, he said.
"When they choose to live off campus, they choose to be part of that broader community," Carter said.
But in a recent trend, universities across the country — including the University of Maryland — are entering into agreements with local police that authorize university security officers to patrol off-campus areas where many students live, Carter said.
Landlords, too, have become more committed to reporting crime near a campus if a university requests it, he said.
But "for wholly off-campus apartments," Carter said, "the hard truth is students are really on their own."
Cummings said he would eulogize his nephew at the funeral in Baltimore

It then took him two years to convince his father, Martin Truex Sr., to let him race (Ryan’s parents thought one of their sons driving a race car was enough). At 14, Ryan finally got to try a few entry-level Bandolero races; he started running Legend cars, one step up, at 15.
His talent was apparent right away. Within two years, he was racing in the K&N East Series and, at 17, won the first of back-to-back championships. At 18, he made his first Xfinity Series start.
“He started racing, and it was like he’d done it his whole life,” Martin said. “I guess people thought heTracing the evolution of Indian military from 'Army of Hindustan' in the 18th century to the Indian Army in WWI

Late afternoon on January 14, 1761, Maratha generals and soldiers fleeing the battlefield at Panipat took with them an indelible memory of Ibrahim Khan Gardi's artillery and musketeers wreaking havoc on the enemy "like a knife slicing through butter". Despite their thinning ranks, the French-trained Telangi infantry, who called themselves Gardis in the honour of their illustrious commander, fought like true

Sadashivrao Bhau's touching faith in Ibrahim Khan Gardi and his European style of fighting, would change their minds and increasingly repose faith in European-styled drilled infantry and artillery. In fact, they would also abandon their traditional strength of guerrilla warfare or ganimi kava, a process that started right from the Panipat battlefield. But the Marathas weren't alone in this: soon, most Indian rulers were racing one another to modernise their armies. This phase also saw a gradual departure from the mediaeval practice of assigning more weightage to cavalry than any other combat arm.But it was Nawab Shuja ud-Daulah of Avadh who was among the first to utilise lessons learnt at Panipat. He had allied himself with Ahmed Shah Abdali, but neither he nor his forces took any activepart in the battle. In 1764, his moderately Europeanised army led by westerners-including Walter Reinhardt Sombre or 'Samru sahib', the husband of Begum Samru-gave a tough time to the English at Buxar, the first battle fought by the English for territorial control in India. Shuja's army also had Rohillas and Afghan cavalry, who were mostly veterans of Panipat. His artillery directed devastating fire on the British. But the British held out with the wily Hector Munro in command and some disciplined musketry by the infantry, the backbone of which was formed by over 5,000 sepoys. Shuja's forces, with all their bravery, had no answer for the Anglo-Indian bayonet charge.Despite the defeat, Shuja continued to modernise his army, raising 18 European-styled infantry battalions by the 1770s. But he would

never get the chance to measure swords with the English again as Avadh became a vassal state of the English after Buxar.Indian history books today, while recognising Buxar as a watershed moment in our national history, skip another important point: that it was at Buxar that the identity of the Indian sepoy as a match-winner for the British was established (though four years earlier at Plassey, Robert Clive was disappointed with Indian officers and made it a rule that Indian troops will only be officered by Europeans-a condition that stuck on until the end of First World War). And it was at Buxar that the foundation of the Indian Army of today was laid. From that point on, the sepoy would be the backbone of English armies conqueringdifferent Indian states one by one. The English would gradually develop a blind faith in the Indian sepoy: a phase that would last until 1857 and continue again towards the end of the 19th century.For the Marathas, it was Mahadji Scindia who broke new ground in Europeanisation of his army. Scindia employed a brilliant French mercenary, Benoit de Boigne, to raise a brigade that could dress, march and fight as a European army. A former officer in the French, Russian and Honourable East India Company's armies, de Boigne taught Scindia's men the British musket drill and everything else that he knew on the condition that he wouldn't be made to fight the English with whom he had cordial relations. Mahadji's meteoric rise as the dominant power in the

north of India hinged on the shoulders of this able Frenchman. Mahadji's new, formidable army came to be known as 'Fauj-i-Hind' or 'Army of Hindustan'. By 1790, it had 37,000 soldiers trained in the European fashion, and 330 pieces of artillery. But after Mahadji's death in 1794, his less capable grandnephew and successor Daulat Rao Scindia would fritter away the gains of his predecessor. He would wage fratricidal wars with other Maratha chieftains and lose both territory and reputation fighting the British. His army stopped attracting talent, both due to his own apathy and some shameless nepotism practised by his French general, Perron. But they would still give Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington, his "toughest battle" at Assaye.Elsewhere in the south, Nawab Hyder Ali was raisinga formidable army. Hyder was impressed with the British and wanted their military assistance to modernise his army. The British were reluctant, which led Hyder to seek help from the French. With French help, Hyder modernised his infantry and artillery, but unlike other Indian powers of the day that ignored cavalry, Hyder's focus was always on his cavalry and he used it with great skill, always leading it from the front. In fact, the Mysore cavalry, with its dash and daring, had built for itself a fearsome reputation among its rivals. In the 1770s, Hyder Ali had 20,000 cavalry, 20 battalions of infantry and an unknown quantity of guns. Even the English grudgingly admitted Mysore cavalry's superiority, though they referred to its actions as that of a swarm

of locusts on crops.Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan also abandoned the common Indian practice of engaging militias raised by provincial governors in war time and went for a fully centralised recruiting and training system. A very rudimentary form of regimental system was also followed. But by Tipu Sultan's time, Mysore artillery had attained a high degree of finesse. Tipu introduced a rocket artillery corps organised in kushoons. Tipu's guns were also known for their longer range and accuracy. It's not known how many artillery pieces he had; but at the fall of Srirangapatnam and Tipu's death in 1799, the British found 421 gun carriages, 176 12 pounders and 4,12,000 iron round shots ranging from four to 42 pounds inside the fort.A few years after Tipu Sultan's collapse, theprocess of the end of the Maratha Empire began as well. The Peshwa signed the Treaty of Bassein with the English in 1802, agreeing to station a 6,000-strong British force in his territory. The Poona Horse (now 17 Horse, Indian Army) was thus born.After the Third Anglo-Maratha War ended in 1818, the Maratha Empire ceased to exist and the Peshwa's army was disbanded. Many former soldiers of the Peshwa found service in the Bombay Army of the HEIC. They were placed in the Poona Horse, Bombay Sappers and Miners and Maratha Light Infantry. Among the first to join these regiments were the Gardis.Up north, with the decline of the Scindia's power and due to irregularities in pay, many of Scindia's well-trained troops left him and sought greener pastures

to the west. They soon found a new employer who was willing to pay them more, both respect and money. He was Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the lion of Punjab.Ranjit Singh wanted to modernise his army. The visionary ruler knew a clash with the British was inevitable at some point in the future and he wanted to be fully prepared for that. He employed Europeans of different nationalities to train his troops. Ranjit Singh organised his infantry on French lines, cavalry on British as well as traditional lines, and artillery on European lines. The English were so alarmed by this tremendous expansion of force that they ordered the arrest of any Frenchman trying to cross the Sutlej.Despite the build-up, the clash that Ranjit Singh foresaw didn't happen in hislifetime but after his death and when the Sikh state was in considerable decay.Just before the First Anglo-Sikh War, the Sikh army had grown bigger than the state could support. According to UK-based military historian Amarpal Singh's book, 'The First Anglo-Sikh War', in 1839, the Lahore state had an army consisting just under 47,000 regular infantry,16,000 regular and irregular cavalry, and 500 pieces of artillery. The artillery was mostly manned by Muslim gunners.But after Ranjit Singh's death, there was a period of anarchy that saw too many court intrigues and rapid decline in leadership of the army. The army, though, continued to expand (over 80,000 in 1845) and went out of control. It functioned through village panchayats that were subservient to none. The soldiers were paid twice the

sum that a sepoy in HEIC's army received every month. The soldiers also resorted to loot and plunder whenever they wanted.Amarpal Singh argues that the Lahore state engineered a situation whereby the growing influence of this republican Sikh army could be curbed-by crossing the Sutlej and inviting an English attack in 1845.All through the war, the Sikh commanders abandoned the field, leaving their men to fend for themselves, at early stages of battles. At Ferozeshah, for instance, the Sikhs had clearly dominated the battlefield with their artillery completely destroying the British artillery, and infantry returning fire with amazing rapidity. Sitaram, a sepoy in the British army, as quoted by Singh in his book, pretty much summed up the ground reality when he wrote: "Volleys of musketry were deliveredby us at close quarters, and were returned just as steadily by the enemy. In all the previous actions in which I had taken part one or two volleys at short range were as much as the Sirkar's (the British state's) enemies could stand; but these Sikhs gave volley for volley, and never gave way until nearly decimated..."Yet, instead of moving forward and decimating the enemy, the commander, Lal Singh, ordered a general retreat, much to the chagrin of his own troops. The Sikhs abandoned all their guns and equipment and left.

Range and habitat:The slimy salamander is found in the eastern
United States, including Ohio
Natural diet: This species of salamander feeds on small terrestrial
invertebrates.
Size / weight range:Slimy salamanders grow to be about 5 to
6 inches, with a record size of about 8 inches.
Interesting facts:The slimy salamander is a member of the Plethodontidae,
the largest family of salamanders in the world. What we consider the slimy
salamander is actually a complex of several different closely related
species.
The slimy salamander
lays a clutch of eggs on land in moist protected areas. These eggs hatch
directly into tiny salamanders. There is no larval stage. The female will

Footnote: Dionne's post couldn't have been part of the first wave in which the wrong information went national, because the post was written after Governor Brewer had already signed the bill. But I think it was likely responsible for the second wave--the one that included the President--and I think that the first wave probably also relied on the Republic editorial. I used Dionne as an example because he CLEARLY relied on the editorial. My guess is that the editorial was widely read beforehand and was responsible for the initial wave as well.GEORGE EWINS

WEST BERKSHIRE — George Donald Ewins, Sr. died peacefully on July 21, 2015, after a struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 82.
Born on the family farm on May 6, 1933, George was the oldest son of C. Donald Ewins and Virginia (Thomas) Ewins. A sixth-generation Vermonter, George maintained a lifelong pride in his state and its Yankee traditions.
George attended the one-room school house in West Berkshire. He graduated from Enosburg High School in 1951 and was a member of the University of Vermont’s class of 1955. To pay for his education, he sold knife sharpeners and other products door to door. After graduation he moved to New York City, where he worked while earning an MBA in finance from New York University.

Naturally, the propagandistic Public Television (DT) which was formed after the dictatorial closing of the Hellenic Public Broadcaster (ERT), played only certain parts of the Greek PM speech today (09/01/14), as expected. These refer to "primary surplus" of course, as well as the fall of the Greek bond spreads. It was a clumsy effort to refine PM's statements using the known montage technique. It's the same crude technique used by the PM advisors and mouthpieces, trying to spread the propaganda and verifying a basic reason for the speedy, dictatorial closing of the ERT. Their agony to hide the real picture, however, is too obvious.

banc directed to the amended opinion issued on January 31, 2008.
Before REID and KRAMER, Associate Judges, and KING, Senior Judge.
Amended Order
REID, Associate Judge:
Appellant, The George Washington University ("GWU" or "the university"), appeals from the trial court's denial of its post-trial motions challenging a jury verdict in favor of appellee, Laura Violand, on her complaint alleging unequal pay because of her sex (female) (Appeal No. 04-CV-1237)[2] We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
FACTUAL SUMMARY
The record shows that Dr. Violand graduated from the University of Maryland in 1977, and began her employment with GWU in 1978 as a front desk clerk at the Registrar's Office. In the same year, she enrolled in graduate school at GWU while continuing to work there, received a Masters of Education degree in 1982,and in that same year enrolled in a doctoral program at GWU. GWU awarded her a Doctorate of Education degree in 1998; her dissertation focused on a case study of major alumni and non-alumni donors during one of GWU's capital campaigns.
Dr. Violand's work with GWU's Division of Alumni & Development commenced in 1982. She first worked on the alumni side *971 of the Division and then became Donor Relations Manager on the development side in 1987. She moved to the position of Assistant to the Executive Director in the development office of the GWU Medical Center in 1988. She was promoted, to Manager, Medical Center Donor Relations and Communications in 1994. After Jack Feldman was hired in late 1995 as Director of Development at a salary of $75,000.00,

Dr. Violand reported to him for about three months. Some time around Summer 1996, the Associate Vice President of GWU (for Medical Center and Alumni Relations), Mary Campion, asked Dr. Violand "to help with going out to meet alumni and solicit gifts" for the Medical Center. Dr. Violand, whose salary was $38,000.00 at that time and later increased to $40,000.00 due to increments, reported to Ms. Campion, as did Mr. Feldman.
Dr. Violand traveled in the Metropolitan Washington area to solicit gifts and after approximately one year expanded her base to points "[a]cross the country." She not only made contacts in various phases (including initial contacts or "introductory moves" and "cultivation"), but also solicited donors, including major donors, that is those who "contributed $50,000 or more" to the university.She filed "contact reports" reflecting the different phases of her work with potential donors. Dr. Violand became Assistant Director of Medical Center Development in December 1997, but did not receive a salary increase.
In early 1998, Ms. Campion left and ultimately was replaced by Sol Margulies. Although Dr. Violand asked him for a salary increase, none was forthcoming, only cost of living increases. When Dr. John Grossman replaced Mr. Margulies in 2000, Dr. Violand also requested a salary increase from him, without success. And, she discovered in 2000, that personnel papers reflecting her position as Assistant Director of Medical Center Development had never been "officially routed through the personnel system," and she "was formally still manager, donor relations and communications." In 2001, Dr. Violand again did not receive a

gout was diagnosed with gouty arthritis based on recurring arthritis in the first MTP joint of the left foot for 9 years. He was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during episodes, but he was not treated for hyperuricemia. He took 45 g of alcohol every day and had overconsumption of purine-rich foods. In May 2017, he presented with arthralgia in the first MTP joints of both feet and in the left ankle. Despite treatment with NSAIDs, arthralgia expanded to the right knee and the right ankle in July 2017. He was referred to our department in August 2017 for further evaluation of polyarthralgia with a high level of C-reactive protein (CRP) (6.85 mg/dL).

Body temperature was 36.5°C,President Bush, despite all of his speeches and press conferences about "victory" in Iraq, seems unable to break through one barrier. The problem isn't the American public's lack of confidence in U.S. forces. It's their lack of confidence in the Iraqis.
In his Oval Office address to the nation on December 18, Bush hailed the recent Iraqi election as a milestone, "a landmark day in the history of liberty." American people seem to agree. In the ABC News/Washington Post poll taken just before the president's speech, 60 percent of respondents said the United States is making significant progress toward restoring civil order in Iraq. And 65 percent said the U.S. is making significant progress toward establishing democratic government there.
But people seem to have a problem when Bush talks about

"victory" in Iraq. In the first of his five recent Iraq speeches, on November 30 at the Naval Academy, Bush declared, "We will never accept anything less than complete victory." He released a National Security Council document called the "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq." It was part of a public-relations offensive based on the theory that Americans will support a war, even one with mounting casualties, as long as they think their leaders have a plan for victory.
So what do Americans think? The December 16-18 Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll asked people whether Bush "does or does not have a plan that will achieve victory for the United States in Iraq." Fifty-six percent said he doesn't. In the ABC News/Washington Post poll taken at the same time, 59 percentthey used to run. The United States has to pressure the new government to share power, even though resentment of Sunni domination under Saddam Hussein runs deep. Is there an Iraqi leader who can build a broad consensus? The American public doesn't see one.

Ethical oil and the right-wing echo chamber
On Sept. 1, 2010, the term "ethical oil" didn't exist except as the title of a soon-to-be-released book by conservative political activist Ezra Levant. Four months later, ethical oil was Harper government policy, or at least an official government talking point. On January 5, his first day on the job, newly-minted environment minister Peter Kent called the Alberta oilsands a source of ethical oil.
The story of how this happened is extraordinary, given that ideas often take years to percolate through public opinion filters before they end up on policy agendas. And more importantly, ethical oil is a defective idea that was roundly criticized not just by environmentalists but by the industry itself.
Nonetheless, establishing ethical oil as a component of government rhetoric illustratesthe growing success of a Canadian right-wing echo chamber that is aping the tactics of the Republican noise machine in the U.S.
The Petroleum Economist, an authoritative international journal that has monitored the oil industry since the 1930s, found Levant's book to be filled with "strange arguments that show little grasp of the global economy, or the way its most important commodity is traded."
To counter Levant's charge that Middle Eastern oil producers are guilty of unethical conduct, the journal explained that these producing countries "deployed their wealth to prop up western financial institutions during the recession," preventing a complete economic collapse. Hardly unethical behaviour, the journal implied.
And even if Canadian oil exports to the U.S. double by 2020, as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers predicts, this will still

a week later, Levant's column in Sun papers attacked Hollywood director James Cameron, who was critical of the oilsands and coming to Alberta to see for himself. The article focused on Cameron's "extravagant projects with their vast energy consumption," once again utilizing the ad hominem attack.
Ethical oil was also hyped in the pages of The National Post, where personal attacks on oilsands opponents continued unabated. ThePost'sPeter Foster claimed the Pembina Institute had "never created a productive job in their lives" and "continued to unload factual garbage by the truckful." Not Levant though. He "exposes the lies and hypocrisy of the media-coddled opponents of the vast resource."
That same day The Post gave a lengthy and entirely positive report on Levant's Economic Club talk. It was followed the next dayby a supportive editorial lauding Levant, who had once been a Post editorial board member.
Levant was whisked back and forth across the country for book signings at Chapters stores in Calgary (twice), Toronto, Winnipeg, St. John's, and Dartmouth. (Is it too conspiratorial to ask if this stellar promotion is related to the fact that Nigel Wright, a senior lieutenant of Chapters owner Gerry Schwartz, is Harper's new chief of staff?) He appeared at least four times on CBC radio and television. (Is it also conspiratorial to ask if the CBC's turn to the right is a strategy designed by the public broadcaster to placate the Harper government?)
Levant was also interviewed by conservative broadcasters Charles Adler (who will be joining him on the new Sun TV channel) and Michael

a "very secure source of energy for the U.S. compared to other sources," Harper said.
The Globe and Mail had ignored Levant's ethical oil campaign until Harper gave his blessing. But the paper made up for lost time with four articles over the next week, including a sympathetic profile by Jane Taber, complete with a photo of Levant taking up a third of the page.
Ethical oil had arrived. Google the term and you'll get more than 78,000 hits.
It's unclear how ethical oil moved from book idea to government policy. Perhaps Harper and Levant concocted the idea in the first place. Or perhaps the connection was Kory Teneycke, Harper's former communications director and another ex-colleague of Levant at the Fraser Institute and Reform Party. After Teneycke left Harper's office, heworked for Pierre Karl Péladeau, owner of the Sun newspaper chain, to develop a proposal for Sun TV, a conservative, all-news television channel dubbed Fox News North. Teneycke resigned under a cloud of suspicion around the addition of fake names to an online petition that called for the broadcast regulator to reject the Sun TV proposal. But he returned several months later to once again head the venture, hiring Levant to host the new channel's premier political show.
With Levant in the chair and Sun TV on the air, the right-wing echo chamber will be that much louder.

DALLAS -- Margo Manning has been promoted to chief operating officer and senior vice-president of Dave & Buster's, succeeding former president Dolf Berle in the COO position. Berle has resigned. He is expected to announce his decision to take a position with another company soon.
Manning moves up from her previous post as vice-president of human resources, to which she had advanced in 2010. Prior to that, she had been senior vice-president of training and special events. She is a 25-year veteran of the Dave & Buster's organization.
"Margo has always been a stellar performer who brings an infectious level of energy and excitement to everything that she does," said Dave & Buster's chief executive Steve King. "We congratulate her on this well-deserved promotion."

Downtown Fort Dodge has attracted growing interest from business people in the last two years, according to information that leaders of Main Street Fort Dodge presented to the City Council Monday evening.
Since the beginning of 2018, eight entrepreneurs have opened new businesses in the downtown, according to Kris Patrick, executive director of Main Street Fort Dodge.
She added that between January 2018 and Aug. 31, 2019, the downtown district was the site of $466,958 worth of private investment.
Patrick announced those figures as she and Jim Bird, president of the Main Street Fort Dodge board, made the group’s biannual report to the council Monday.
”We’ve accomplished a lot over a year and a half,” Bird said.

The report provided by Bird and Patrick included other figures that show there is activity in the city’s core.
For example, they reported that there are 1,187 people who work downtown.
There are also 501 people living in 436 downtown apartments, they reported.
Bird said attracting employers would help the downtown. He said he wants to have regular meetings with representatives of city government and the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance to help make that happen.and concerns over intellectual property.

friendships from," he said.
Are we getting too close?
But author, China researcher and Charles Sturt University public ethics professor Clive Hamilton warned some Australian businesses and state and territory governments had succumbed to intense lobbying by China and become too close.
"The best way to understand this is through the lens of [former Chinese leader] Mao Zedong's tactic of 'use the countryside to surround the city'," he said.
China expert Clive Hamilton says WA is the state most economically dependent on Beijing. ( ABC News/Google Earth )
"This was a tactic developed during the civil war against the nationalists in the 1920s and 30s — when the Communist Party could not defeat the nationalists in the city, they had to retreat to the countryside.
"They're using the same principle all around the world,including in Australia.
"When the environment in Canberra became more hostile or suspicious or vigilant, let's say starting about three years ago, Beijing decided that they would focus a lot more effort on the countryside — that is on the outlying states Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, but also they've had these huge victories in Victoria.
"So they've been cultivating and building their political influence in Western Australia and other parts of the 'countryside' as a way of surrounding Canberra, as it were."
The huge victory Professor Hamilton cited was Victoria's decision to sign up to China's controversial Belt and Road initiative.

Tensions on the federal level
But not everyone in the west is happy with Beijing.
WA Federal Liberal MP Andrew Hastie made headlines when he used an opinion piece in the Age and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers to compare the handling ofChina's rise to the failure to contain the rise of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
The comments were "deplored" by the Chinese Embassy in response.

Mr Hastie also called out China's treatment of its Uyghur population — an ethnic Muslim minority, members of which Beijing authorities have locked up en masse.
"I am very troubled by the clear evidence of re-education camps, where one million Uyghurs have been forcibly detained and indoctrinated into communist thinking," Mr Hastie told Federal Parliament last month.
