is an issue. That's not the only one. It's also the fact that the Knicks are playing lackluster defense against teams that probably belong in the NCAA Tournament right now. The New York Knicks are losing to the Detroit Pistons. The New York Knicks are losing to the Indiana Pacers. The New York Knicks have lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers....TWICE!! A Cleveland Cavs team without...that guy...has beaten a Knicks team with Amare Stoudemire, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, etc. twice! What's next? Them losing and giving up 100+ points to the team that wins the NCAA Championship?? What also doesn't get me is how they're losing with Chauncey Billups. You'd think he'd bring some of that championship/defensive prowess from 2004 and '05 from the Pistons and implant that intobefore moving to Las Vegas.

fire power than the Brits while the Brits have more boots on the ground.
Setting Up…
The Italians were to choose half their force and start them in the fortress. Meanwhile, the British had to choose half their force to come in on the first wave with the remainder coming in as reserves on both sides. Forces would be able to enter from whichever table edge they wish as long as it was not the same edge that their opponent last used.
The British brought on the bulk of their first wave on the side of the board furthest from the commander.
Hard Lessons
Forward Observers are Dangerous!
Seeing the grouping above, the Italian Commanders called in an airstrike to good effect. Lots of pins everywhere and a couple of soldiers dead. The Britslearned that it is not good to clump all your troops together when the enemy can call in Airstrikes.
Likewise, the Italians had some lessons to learn about the heavy guns of a Forward Observer. Right off the top the Brits called for some supporting fire right in the heart of the Italian Fort.
Luckily for the Italians, it would take a couple of turns before that strike came in. Instead of hitting the intended target it moved by accident closer to the forward tower on the right hand side. If the rolls were too good, it could have destroyed the building that contained the Captain. This would have resulted in a draw for both sides.
Instead, the blast dealt around pins. The second strike would come in a little more

already called in his special attack. He alone got within a few inches of the door. Next round he would enter the building in attempt to capture the Captain. Knowing this, the Italian Captain aimed his pistol out the door and shot the Observer in the head with a very decisive shot from his pistol.
The next turn, the second assaulting group would make it to the fort. The Bombardment moved and went off near the front towers. On the Eighth turn, the Brits got the first activation die and assaulted the Captain in the tower. They won and therefor captured the commander.
The Game Came Down to One Die Roll

for transmitting at least part of a torque flow between the internal combustion engine and the transmission. The gear arrangement includes at least one planet wheel which is coupled via a meshed engagement with a sun wheel or a ring wheel and is rotatable at least to a restricted extent about a planet wheel axis. The planet wheel has at least one rotational additional mass, the center of gravity of which is offset relative to an axis of rotation assigned to said additional mass, the gear arrangement converting a relative rotation of the two flywheel masses or part flywheel masses into a rotation of the additional mass about the axis of rotation assigned to the latter, with the center of gravity being displaced radially in relation to aspring arrangement acting between the two flywheel masses, cannot be inferred from the preliminary publication because of a lack of information on the spring forces in the masses. As far as information regarding the different embodiments disclosed in DE 197 26 477 A1 together with the information on the relative angles of rotation between the two flywheels applies to the arrangement of the additional masses to the planet wheels, the arrangement is such that the return force acts on both sides of an unstable intermediate relative rotary angle position of equilibrium, which lies between two relative rotary angle boundary positions delimiting a relative rotary angle range of the flywheel masses, in the direction of the respective nearer relative rotary angle boundary position. It follows from this that the

arrangement may be arranged for generating an elastic return force which acts on the flywheel mass or part flywheel mass toward a second relative rotary angle position of the two flywheel masses or part flywheel masses which lies between the two relative rotary angle boundary positions and, if appropriate, is offset relative to the first relative rotary angle position. Preferably, the spring arrangement is prestressed in the overrun direction of rotation of the flywheel mass arrangement by the centrifugally dependent return forces; the first relative rotary angle position is therefore preferably offset relative to the second relative rotary angle position in the overrun direction of rotation.
For many arrangements, it would seem that a spring arrangement, as described above, is highly expedient. As already discussed, however, it is alsosaid additional mass. The gear arrangement converts a relative rotation of the two flywheels into a rotation of the additional mass about the axis of rotation assigned to the latter, with the center of gravity being displaced radially in relation to a flywheel axis of rotation.
According to the invention, there is provision for assigning the additional mass to the planet wheel such that a centrifugally induced return force increasing with a rotational speed of the two-mass flywheel and acting on the flywheels occurs in the direction of a first relative rotary angle position of the two flywheels which lies between two relative rotary angle boundary positions delimiting the relative rotary angle range of the two flywheels.

World Sufi Spirit Festival
Somewhere in the land of Persia, a man sits in the bleak light of a setting sun, and in the khumar of the Beloved, he writes verses of remembrance. Another one, centuries later, sits under a tree in Afghanistan and perhaps, driven by the same remembrance, plucks his Rubab to a deep, expressive music. Close by, two girls bind the same verses into a melodic song & somewhere, in the far off land of the Ottomans, a hand stretches out, towards the sky, as if soaking in all the energy from the vast expanse through its spread open palm. And the other hand reaches out to give to the earth what the first one asks from the skies. Slowly, as a Neyweaves out a soulful tune behind him, the man with these hands suspended mid-air and his head inclined on one side, turns & twirls. And his white gown whirls in space, like his longing soul that sways somewhere between two worlds. As the poem in Persia grows, from love to pain to nashey, and the fingers on the Rubab pluck even faster than before, the singing grows graver and the feet in the Ottoman land spin swiftly and more swiftly until there arrives a moment when all of these feel that they have united with the One.
What seems to bind all these together, is the world of Sufi music. A world that spans far beyond what we usually imagine. From the whirling dervishes & Sufi music of Turkey

symbol of the heretical pagan beliefs of the Templars. In the course of the construction of this edifice, Masons and Rosicrucians, the successors of the Templars, were employed, and decorated the whole chapel with symbols representative of their pagan philosophy.
In a publication of Turkish Masonry, the magazine Mimar Sinan, the Masonic origins and the pagan elements of the chapel are described in these words:
The most convincing proof of the unity of the Templars and the Masons in Scotland is the castle and chapel in the village of Roslin, 10 km. south of Edinburgh and 15 km. from the ancient Templar center at Balantrodoch. The Templars lived in this region and in this castle especially after 1312 under the protection of the Barons of St. Clair.
...The chapel was builtbetween 1446-48 by Sir William St. Clair who was one of the most prominent nobles of the time in Scotland and even in Europe. Masons and Rosicrucians worked on the construction. The chief architect of the work was the Templar Grand Master, Sir William St. Clair who brought itinerant mason architects and stone masons from every part of Europe. New houses were built in the near-by village of Roslin and a lodge was opened…
The plan and decoration of the chapel is unique. There is no other such example in Scotland or even Europe. It captured the atmosphere of Herod's temple very well and every part of it was decorated with Masonic symbols. Among the symbols were reliefs on the walls and arches depicting the heads of Hiram and

Templars ever gave protection to pilgrims, but on the other hand we were soon to find that there is conclusive proof that they did conduct extensive excavations under the ruins of Herod's Temple…12
The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus
The authors of The Hiram Key were not the only ones who found evidences of this. French historian Gaetan Delaforge makes this similar contention:
The real task of the nine knights was to carry out research in the area in order to obtain certain relics and manuscripts which contain the essence of the secret traditions of Judaism and ancient Egypt.13
At the end of the nineteenth century, Charles Wilson of the Royal Engineers, began conducting archeological research in Jerusalem. He arrived at the opinion thatthe Templars had gone to Jerusalem to study the ruins of the temple. Wilson found traces of digging and excavation under the foundations of the temple, and concluded that these were done by tools that belonged to the Templars. These items are still in the collection of Robert Brydon, who possesses an extensive archive of information concerning the Templars.14
The writers of the Hiram Key argue that these excavations of the Templars were not without result; that the order discovered in Jerusalem certain relics that changed the way they saw the world. In addition, many researchers are of the same opinion. There must have been something that led the Templars, despite the fact that they had previously been Christian and came from a Christian part of the world, to

down, the direction of the stress is reversed. A joint zone is fractureprone particularly in the case that the force acting in the radial direction appears as a tension component. In those cases where the fracture elongation of the joint zone is smaller than the difference of the increase in diameter of the two partners of the connection, a crack occurs.
In all those cases where material partners with compatible thermal expansion coefficients are not expediently available, the problem therefore arises to find a design for the joint zone, in which the development of radial stresses is greatly reduced and which thereby becomes very largely insensitive to cyclic temperature stresses. Such a design should make possible here not only connections between metallic partners, but also between metallic and non-metallic,Thousands of people on Monday offered flowers, candles, balloons and notes of condolences at makeshift memorials outside two mosques targeted in New Zealand's deadliest shooting in modern history.

the two Marshals endure takes them right to the core of Shutter Island. They have to face up to the latent dark truths that lie waiting for them, hidden at the very top of the lighthouse which acts as a sentinel watching over the proceedings like an all-seeing eye.
Shutter Island is simply spoken my best read this year. This is all the more staggering in a year that has given us pure excellence from the crime/mystery genre. It is just amazing how Lehane snaps back the boundaries by combining the mystery genre with the sinister and paranoid world of Philip K Dick, and the whole question of reality, madness and evil. It is also deeply moving and written with a hallucinogenic almost hypnotic style. The structure of thenovel is at times scary, at times worrying, and at times close to bringing you to tears, such is the beauty of his words. It is difficult to summarise the plot any further due to the problem of giving away the end.
The astute will listen to the crazy whispers that nibble at your earlobe throughout the book, but then the ending rips off your ear like the teeth of Mike Tyson. A robust and intricately structured story, full of insight and compassion about the dark side of the human dream, and a book that will really divide Lehane fans like a cleaver. Highly recommended for those who like challenge

an extrudate. Heat is applied through a heating element during a welding operation at the extruded material ends. During the joining process a splice results between the ends of two separate extrusions or the two ends of the single extrusion. After the welding operation, the resulting splice can leave an undesirable seam or flash, which is not part of the finished product. This flash is particularly undesirable in extruded profiles that perform a sealing function. In addition, the flash generates extra cost to the product by requiring an additional deflashing operation, either manually by an operator or a mechanical trimming operation. As well, trimming the flash can propagate tears, which weakens the welded joint

23 Bobby Orr Hockey Cards You Need To Own
Orr goes down in history as one of the greatest hockey players of all time.
In his first year in the NHL, Orr was named rookie of the year and given the Calder Trophy. It was the first of many titles that Bobby would collect, including 8 consecutive seasons of winning the Norris Trophy for being the best defenseman.
He also helped the Bruins to win the Stanley cup both in 1970 and 1972 to cap off a fine career.
For fans and collectors, the following is a list of the best 23 Bobby Orr hockey cards that money can buy.

1978 O-Pee-Chee #300
Bobby's last card is one worth remembering. O-Pee-Chee honored him with a special collector's card that has vivid colors surrounding a photo of Orr on the bench. The shot is from his time playing on the Canada Cup, and no team is referenced on the card. His autograph trails across the photo in white. A definite finale to any Orr collection, mint versions can sell for around $1000.
Bobby Orr Hockey Cards Wrap-Up
Bobby's time on the ice overlapped with many other hockey greats, but he still shines as one to remember. When he finally had to retire due to serious knee problems, he was quickly inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame the very next season. To this day heis still the only defenseman to have won the Art Ross Trophy for scoring. He has multiple buildings names in his honor and his own star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto. The Bruins erected a bronze statue to thank Bobby for his decade of contributions to the team.
Bogged down with surgeries and limited mobility, Bobby called it quits in 1978. He was only 30 at the time, but recovery was not in the cards. At 31 he was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame even though the general three year waiting period had not yet passed. In a sport where forwards shine, Bobby is always remembered for his incredible value offensively even though he was a defenseman. Boston retired his number 4 at a

new Village income tax.
Also Council empowered the
Mayor to hire Mr. Emerson Davis for the period of one year to
run the income tax business. His
job will begin officially the first
of October when he starts setting up the machinery and training the personnel to run the business.
In other action, the .couneilmen'
authorized Mr. Dav.s to go ahead
and advertise for loaner's equipment, to be used until th,eir own
machinery is shipped to them,
and to hire the necessary auditors and clerk - typists on an
hourly basis to begin working.
The tax will not go into effect
until January 1, 1956, but previous to that a physical survey of
the city must be made to determine the taxable persons. The
taxeswill be withheld from the
pay by the employer just as the
federal income tax and social security are.

Organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are considering moving the sailing venue as part of a widening review into plans for the games.
In Tokyo's winning bid for the games, sailing was to take part at the Wakasu Olympic Marina. But because the marina is within the approach zone for a runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, those plans will likely need to change.
Continue Reading Below
Helicopters will need to fly above the venue to film the races and that would disrupt flights at the country's busiest airport.
The problem with the sailing venue is the latest in growing list of concerns for Tokyo organizers. Other venues that are under review include those for basketball and triathlon.
Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe has said the overall venue plans need to be revised because ofof the mobile machine.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a mobile machine for uprooting vegetation from the ground having a soil separating mechanism which includes a plurality of planar members which include a plurality of radial arms, the distal ends of which intermesh with the distal ends of adjacent planar members to cause a separation of soil attached to the uprooted vegetation from the uprooted vegetation.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of a mobile machine for uprooting vegetation from the ground in which the uprooting mechanism includes a plurality of tines, the leading edge of each tine defining a cavity for trapping soil therein for inhibiting the abrasive and corrosive effects of the soil on the tines.

In both once-through and recirculating cooling systems, for example, which employ large quantities of water as a cooling medium, the formation of slime by microorganisms is an extensive and constant problem.
Airborne organisms are readily entrained in the water from cooling towers and find this warm medium an ideal environment for growth and multiplication. Aerobic and heliotropic organisms fluorish on the tower proper while other organisms colonize and grow in such areas as the tower sump and the piping and passages of the

The brother of serial killer Dale Hausner was sentenced to 18 years in prison today for nearly stabbing a man to death in 2006 in a Phoenix parking lot.
Jeff Hausner, 42, was convicted last month of attempted murder and aggravated assault for luring a man named Timothy Davenport to a church parking lot near 73rd Avenue and Camelback Road and stabbing him multiple times in the back.
The 18-year sentence was added atop an eight-year prison stint Hausner was already serving for stabbing another man around the same time.
In both cases, authorities believe he was accompanied by his younger brother, Dale, and a friend named Samuel Dieteman, both of whom were part of a broader, yearlong killing spree that later became known1979, the arbitrators announced an award in favor of appellee for the total amount claimed. Thereafter, appellee filed a petition to confirm the arbitrators' award. Appellant answered that the contract was void ab initio since professional services cannot be performed by a business corporation and, by way of new matter, asserted that the arbitration award was a nullity since after-discovered evidence established that false testimony was given at the proceeding. At the same time, appellant also moved for discovery since the averments of new matter set forth in the answer were dehors the record. Appellee's reply to new matter denied that it had engaged in any improper activity, and asserted that the arbitrators made their award after a full and fair hearing. On May 2, 1980, the Honorable

the Morris twins is the other integral portion to help fuse the success that the Suns have produced. Still only 24 years old, both Markieff and Marcus grew up only knowing one way to play basketball, as one. It is not a coincidence that the twins have matching tattoos across their body. Just before the trade deadline last season, Markieff pleaded with the front office in order to unite both him and his brother Marcus. The front office conceded his wish and they were united once again. Having already won Western Conference Player of the Week this season, Markieff leads the bench in scoring at 12 points per game at a 47 percent field goal clip, seven percent higher than his career average.
Similar to how Hornacek played whenhe was a fan favorite with Phoenix and Utah, he has constructed an efficient offensive scheme that has worked so far for them this season. Instead of settling for long twos, Hornacek has stuck with the high efficiency shot approach, close baskets near the rim or open three pointers. It is not a fluke that seven of the 15 players on the roster have a PER higher than the NBA average of 15, which has helped with their depth. Additionally, Hornachek has given each one of his rotation players a specific role for the team, which is by far the most effective tool that a coach can give to his team to win games and build team chemistry.

Ruin sent all of his Inquisitors after Vin, to stop her and capture the cache, but soon realized her trick as she fought the Inquisitors over Kredik Shaw. However, Marsh, desperately holding on to a portion of his sanity under Ruin's influence, is aided by Kelsier, who has partial control of Preservation's power, is finally able to momentarily buck the control of Ruin, pushing out Vin's earring and allowing her to finally consume the mists and draw in all of Preservation's power, defeating the Inquisitors and Ascending.
Shortly following Vin's Ascension, the coup, led by KanPaar, inadvertently reveals the true location of the Lord Ruler's atium cache: the Trustwarren. Located adjacent to the Pits ofbattalion are all Seers, mistings capable of burning atium. With a constant supply of atium dredged out by Sazed and other survivors, they fight spectacularly against seemingly endless waves of koloss. But in the end their metal reserves begin to dwindle, and they start to fall, one-by-one. Marsh then arrives from Luthadel, dueling with an exhausted and drained Elend, who soon fights only via an infusion of Vin's power. Ruin, through Marsh, taunts Elend, gloating over his impending victory, when Elend reveals their true purpose has been fulfilled: Burning away all of the atium that was stored within the Trustwarren. Marsh beheads Elend in a final outburst of anger and hacks apart his body. Demoux, one of the few surviving Mistfallen, retreats to the entrance of the caves,

Progressive heterosis in genetically defined tetraploid maize.
Progressive heterosis, i.e., the additional hybrid vigor in double-cross tetraploid hybrids not found in their single-cross tetraploid parents, has been documented in a number of species including alfalfa, potato, and maize. In this study, four artificially induced maize tetraploids, directly derived from standard inbred lines, were crossed in pairs to create two single-cross hybrids. These hybrids were then crossed to create double-cross hybrids containing genetic material from all four original lines. Replicated field-based phenotyping of the materials over four years indicated a strong progressive heterosis phenotype in tetraploids but not in their diploid counterparts. In particular, the above ground dry weight phenotype of double-cross tetraploid hybrids was on average 34% and 56% heavier than that of the single-cross tetraploid hybrids and the30, but a specific needs trading the market was getting to move up and israeli past the broadbnd, so they make the broadbad There they upgraded the trade, there was only an underlying 30 percent broadbans that would get Unfortunately, it didnrsquot go up and lower above the strike and it started bradband a loss.

front of a photographed eye, and the illumination path system is located at a tilt angle with respect to the optical axis of the observation path system.
The light source emits light a beam, which passes through the first lens, the stop aperture, the first glass prism, the second lens, the third lens, the near-infrared filter and through the second glass prism. The light beam then impinges on the beam splitter, which directs it toward the ocular lens and into the eye. The light beam is reflected off of the fundus of the eye and passes through the ocular lens, the beam splitter, the first lens, the stop aperture and through the second lens, toward the CCD camera. The CCD camera is located on the focal plane of thethe eye. The aperture diaphragm has a circular slit, passing there through light beams emitted from the halogen lamp. The light beams are deflected by the mirror toward the optical axis of the photographing optical section. The condenser lens creates an image of the aperture diaphragm slit near the opening of the perforated mirror. The intermediate image of the slit is reflected by the perforated mirror, and the objective lens focuses the image of the slit near the eye cornea to illuminate the eye fundus.
The photographing optical section includes an objective lens, a two-hole diaphragm, a light splitting prism, two beam splitting prisms, two relay lenses, two focusing lenses, two image forming lenses and two films. The light splitting prism is a triangular shaped prism, located on the

optical axis of the photographing optical section, such that the base of the triangle is perpendicular to the optical axis, facing the objective lens. The two-hole diaphragm is adjacent to the base of the triangular light splitting prism. The photographing optical section is placed in front of the eye, such that light beams reflected from the fundus are directed at the objective lens and the light splitting prism.
A light beam reflected from the fundus is focused by the objective lens, passes through the opening of the perforated mirror, through the two-hole diaphragm and into the light splitting prism. Light passing through the two-hole diaphragm is split into a right light beam and a left light beam. The light splitting prism interchanges the right light beam and the leftlight beam with each other, since the light beams originate in an inverted image of the fundus. The two beam splitting prisms collimate the right and left light beams, so that the collimated light beams pass along two parallel paths separated by a predetermined distance.
The separated light beams pass through the two relay lenses respectively, through the two focusing lenses and through the two image forming lenses. The image forming lenses form a right image and a left image of the fundus on the two films, respectively. The two focusing lenses are movable along the optical axis of the photographing optical system. The positions of the focusing lenses are adjusted according to the refracting power of the eye, to focus the image of the fundus on the each

Bill Clinton said Obama was 'luckier than a dog with two d***s' to face hapless Mitt Romney in 2012 election
A new book released next week is packed full of political revelations from last year's election, including the real story of the sometime tense relationship between Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Double Down: Game Change 2012, written by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin who penned a bestseller about the 2008 election, comes out on November 5.
Sneak previews of the book have already given up some tantalizing tidbits, such as the revelation that Clinton described Obama as 'luckier than a dog with d***s' in facing hapless challenger Mitt Romney in the last presidential race.
Fortunate: Bill Clinton apparently said that President Obama was 'luckier than a dog with two d***s' in facingthe hapless Mitt Romney in the 2008 election
Meanwhile, after a golf session that Clinton didn't take seriously enough for Obama's liking, the book reveals that current president said he only liked his predecessor 'in doses.'
According to Politico, Clinton couldn't believe Obama's luck in facing Romney.
Game Change 2012 states: 'Clinton had watched in wonder as Obama caught break after break... Meanwhile, Romney's ineptness staggered Clinton.'
While Clinton thought that Romney was 'a decent man', following the release of the the controversial 47 percent video, the ex-president then told a friend that the Republican candidate 'was in the wrong line of work.'
Patience: After a game of golf Obama apparently said he liked Clinton 'in doses'
'He really shouldn't be speaking to people in public,' Clinton added.
Politico's excerpt continues: 'As for Obama, Clinton

Generalized athletic nudity spread to other Greek states emulating the successful Spartan model by the 'athletic revolution' of the early sixth century. With athletic nudity, open pederasty, again following Sparta, was fostered.Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, was long suspected of deliberately attempting to damage President Trump's foreign policy from the inside and had access to policy information far beyond his regional expertise, according to former National Security Council officials.
Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst, was Ukraine director on the NSC toward the end of the Obama administration and stayed there during the first few months of the Trump administration, when he was acting senior director for European and Russian affairs and then special assistant to Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was Trump's national security adviser, until he left the White House in the summer of 2017.

of the purse seine 110 in order to make it possible for the upper edge of the purse seine 110 to float on water, and bridle chains 125 are provided under the lower edge of the purse seine 110 so as to make it possible for the lower edge of the purse seine 110 to sink under the water surface. Thus, the buoyancy units 120 and the bridle chains 125 can orient the purse seine 110 upright in the water. Typically, the purse seine 110 expands in the water into an approximately circular shape so as to catch fish.
Furthermore, a purse line 130 which is used to haul in the purse seine 110 which has expanded into a circular shape is disposed along the lower edge of thepurse seine 110. The purse line 130 is coupled to ends of the bridle chains 125 through connectors which are called snap rings 140. In detail, connection members 127 such as ropes are connected to the ends of the bridle chains 125. Each connection member 127 is connected to a first end of the corresponding snap ring 140. The purse line 130 passes through second ends of the snap rings 140, thereby coupling the purse line 130 to the bridle chains 125.
To haul in the purse seine 110, when the purse line 130 is pulled by a hydraulic purse winch provided on a fishing boat 150, the bridle chains 125 of the purse seine 110 are also pulled, and thus fish are confined while the purse seine 110

is hauled in.
However, in the case of the snap ring 140 according to the conventional technique, due to the weight of the fish and the purse seine 110 being hauled in, a relatively large frictional force is generated on the contact surface between the purse line 130 and the snap rings 140, thus inducing extreme abrasion of the surfaces of the purse line 130 and the snap rings 140, possibly resulting in tearing. This seriously interferes with the fishing operation. Furthermore, maintenance costs increase due to frequent replacement of the purse line 130 or the snap ring 140, thus resulting in reduced income.raisins, or chopped nuts.

The present invention relates to a process for regenerating a catalyst for the cyclizing hydrolysis of an aminonitrile for the manufacture of lactams.
It relates more particularly to the regeneration of solid catalysts used in processes for producing lactams by the cyclizing hydrolysis of aminonitriles.
Now, lactams, such as xcex5-caprolactam, are basic compounds in the manufacture of many products and more particularly in the production of polyamides, such as PA 6 and its copolymers.
Among the various known processes for synthesizing lactams, one of the processes is the cyclizing hydrolysis of the corresponding aminonitrile, more particularly the corresponding unbranched aliphatic aminonitrile, in the presence of water and a catalyst.
The catalysts used in these processes may be classified in several categoriesxe2x80x94bulk solid catalysts, such as the metal oxides described in Patent Applicationsubscriber may not enjoy making separate monthly payments to each of the providers. Furthermore, the subscriber probably laments the cost of the service while making the payments. Many of the providers would like to offer more than only one service, i.e. a telephone company may wish to compete with a cable company by providing television programming.
Such competition would, over time, reduce the cost to the subscriber of the television programming and increase the quality of the programming. One of the reasons the providers have been slow to offer services outside of their core services is uncertainty of laws and regulations. Only recently has the United States Congress, and federal agencies and courts, begun passing legislation, promulgating rules and issuing decisions that relax previous prohibitions against a single service

After a smooth night time landing in Hurghada, we rejoin the flight crew as they prepare for their return flight to Munich. For this leg of the trip, our F.O engages the viewers with a discussion on how he got into aviation which was ironically linked to a cockpit visit on a 737-200 when he was just 9 years old. Being inspired at such a young age, little did he know that he would one day fly the B737 NG.

Animal crime is an emotive issue, and one on which the main political parties differ significantly.
Labour's stance to retain the Hunting Act 2004 stands in contrast to the Conservatives' pledge to revoke the ban on hunting.
And Labour's introduction of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 during the last Parliament suggests a positive attitude towards animal welfare.
In its policy statement, the Labour Party identifies that more should be done to end wildlife crime and animal cruelty. These terms are used to refer to a wide range of illegal activities, from the persecution of British animals like birds of prey, to the global trafficking of endangered species and their parts.

Annie Zaidi talks about the challenge of engaging young girls in football
Annie Zaidi is a female football coach of South Asian heritage. She has passed her FA Level 2 badge and is working towards her Uefa B coaching licence.
With the support of Queens Park Rangers director of football Les Ferdinand and technical director Chris Ramsey, she is involved at the Championship club's academy, and is also the head coach for Leicester City Under-11s girls' team.
In November, 32-year-old Zaidi received the Helen Rollason Award for Inspiration at the Sportswomen of the Year Awards.
On Monday, she is speaking at the Fifa Women's Football and Leadership Conference. external-link
An Arsenal fan, her dream is one day to become Gunners manager.
In her own words, she describes why football is her passion and thebarriers she has had to overcome.
Love of the game
I've always been interested in football. From the age of five, I was playing football in the back garden with my brothers. When I was growing up, there wasn't the opportunity for a girl like me to play football for a team or a club. Being from a South Asian background, me playing football was seen as taboo, especially within the Asian community.
Muslim girls were encouraged to play sports but not alongside boys and it was preferred that we played indoor sports like netball or badminton which took place in enclosed environments. When I played football, I wore shorts - even that was frowned upon and raised eyebrows. I played alongside other girls at school but I enjoyed playing the

without them having to go through the same racism and sexism I have experienced.
Female coaches in the game
Just because I'm a woman I don't see why I have to only coach within the women's game. I don't like being pigeon-holed. The rebellious side of me is determined to coach within the professional men's game. It's down to individual clubs giving female coaches opportunities, not as token gestures, but based on their potential to do the job.
Raffaele Long, the technical director at Leicester City Girls' Centre of Excellence, gave me a chance. I've been there for two seasons now. I met the former Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey, who's now their technical director, at a Sporting Equals event. He invited me down to the club and things progressedfrom there.
I go down to the club once a week to either deliver or observe a training session. I'm regarded there as a coach, just like any of the others at the club. Chris and director of football Les Ferdinand are constantly supporting me.
Football still needs to do a lot to increase the number of women coaches, in both the men's and women's game. Women in any role within the game - be it coaches, medics, or referees - are still few and far between. They are not easily visible.
Aims and ambitions
I hope to carry on working with QPR and be mentored by great coaches and with their help, achieve my Uefa B coaching badge and start applying for a full-time coaching role at a professional men's club.

Liddell's orchestra continued to pour an uninterrupted flood of waltz

around the buffet, angrily demanding cream ices, champagne, and

20th at Test level, after a marathon stand with 20-year-old de Villiers whose maiden international ton followed his top score 92 in the first innings.
Needing early breakthroughs to keep their thin hopes alive, South Africa were given a perfect start when Andrew Strauss - the leading run-getter in the series with 656 - was held low at second slip by Kallis in Makhaya Ntini's opening over.
Number three Robert Key chained himself to the crease for 10 overs, before Shaun Pollock trapped him lbw with one which straightened to beat a jab across the line.
Opener Marcus Trescothick highlighted the necessity of application with an untypical, virtually strokeless innings of seven which spanned 43 balls until Ntini snaked one through a tentative prod forward to knock over off-stump.
From a positionof 20 for three in the 15th over, Vaughan closed out a series which England were initially comfortable favourites to win, let slip and then grabbed back in the end.
Although veteran Graham Thorpe did perish in Ntini's second spell, Andrew Flintoff showed the patience of his first-innings 77 once again as England finished on 73 for four.
The tourists began the fifth day with a chance of victory. But high-class batting initially from Kallis and de Villiers against a willing if battle-weary attack ensured such a result would be achieved only by virtue of calculated manufacture.
Resuming on 59 for two, a deficit of 53, South Africa were soon under way as Kallis beat the infield and found the ropes all around the wicket.

four brought up the 50-run partnership, and de Villiers upped his own tempo with a pull for six off Matthew Hoggard - recalled before start of play to England's one-day squad after a two-year absence, with all-rounder Flintoff due to fly home tomorrow to have his troublesome left ankle operated on.
Able to take full part here after a cortisone injection which eases the discomfort from the painful bone spur, Flintoff is now expected to undergo surgery to cure the problem permanently and be ready for the Ashes in six months' time.
If Kallis began with greater gusto this morning de Villiers' precocious talent closed the gap as both men reached three figures from 164 deliveries, replicating cuts for four off Simon Jones to achieve their landmarks.Arguably, however, the pairgot caught up in registering their personal milestones rather than playing with the abandon required by their team-mates.
The youngster fell when an attempted lofted drive spiralled in the opposite direction to the one intended, down to third man off Glamorgan's Jones.
Fellow fast bowler Stephen Harmison then halted a barren spell, which spanned 59 overs, with the dismissal of Smith whose swish went aerial to point where substitute Paul Collingwood held on despite looking into the sun.
Having waited two Tests for a solitary success, former world number one Test bowler Harmison claimed a second in as many overs when Jacques Rudolph lost his off bail to a perfect off-cutter as the South Africans got clogged up.
Fittingly Hoggard, whose 12-wicket haul in Johannesburg sealed England's second victory of the tour,

The threat of Islamist terrorism continues to cause havoc in airports, disrupt the global economy and strike fear into the hearts of travellers.
In the past few years, kidnappings have become a key weapon in the terror campaign. Among the Irish citizens who have been abducted were Dublin-born aid worker Margaret Hassan and civil engineer Ken Bigley, both kidnapped and murdered in Iraq in 2004.
Teacher Brian Keenan and journalist Rory Carroll were among those who survived kidnappings by Islamist fundamentalists.
It goes without saying that the actions of the extremist fanatics are condemned by the vast majority of Irish Muslims.
However, many Irish people are under the illusion that Islamist terrorism is a purely modern phenomenon.
But there is nothing new under the sun - or, indeed, under the crescent moon.
Most ofus would be surprised to learn that the greatest mass kidnapping ever mounted in Ireland by the forces of the Islamist Jihad was carried out 375 years ago - led by terrorists who steered wooden ships instead of Boeing 767s and brandished scimitars instead of AK47s.
Just before dawn on the morning of June 20, 1631, an invasion force of pirates from the Barbary Coast of North Africa, backed by elite troops of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, stormed ashore at the quiet West Cork village of Baltimore and abducted nearly all the villagers for sale on the slave markets.
Two Baltimore men were killed as they made a desperate bid to resist the 230 heavily armed invaders.
Although virtually forgotten today, this was the most devastating invasion of either Ireland or

20 were not Irish but English fisherfolk who had rented the port from Baltimore's Gaelic chieftain.
And there is a conspiracy theory that the pirate raid was a set-up job by disaffected elements of the local O'Driscoll clan who wanted to reclaim their village.
Even more intriguing was the true identity of the pirate admiral who spearheaded the audacious raid.
His name means nothing to us today but in the early 1600s Morat Rais was notorious as the most ruthless and daring of the Barbary pirates.
He had led slave raids as far north as Iceland in his quest to bring the terror of the Jihad to the very doorsteps of the Infidel.
Yet this extraordinary pirate was not some Moorish sheikh or Turkish nobleman but a middle-class Dutchman who had converted toIslam.
Around May of 1631, Morat Rais set sail from Algiers in two ships bristling with 36 guns. His force comprised 280 men-pirate renegades and musketeers from the crack Turkish Janissary militia.
On his way, the pirate chief captured three ships before sailing to the Old Head of Kinsale. There, 11 fishermen from Dungarvan were hauling in their nets on a quiet Sunday morning when they looked up to see the giant pirate vessels towering above them.
The Waterford men were clapped in irons and their skipper, John Hackett, agreed to pilot the pirates to Baltimore - well away from his hometown to the east.
Hackett was later to be hanged as a traitor, although he may have been no more than a convenient scapegoat.
By nightfall on June 19 the pirates had

Accordingly, so long as Manufacturers acted in good faith in deeming itself insecure and invoking the acceleration clause, it was entitled to set off Pheney's bank accounts against the note.
15
Manufacturers also contends that, under the terms of the 1982 security agreement, the note was due at the time the garnishment writ was served because Pheney was in default as a result of the judgment obtained by Carpenters. However, as the entry of judgment against Pheney occurred before the note was executed, the district court correctly concluded that this provision of the agreement applied only to a judgment entered after the execution of a note.

run and a village of vendors. The event is a benefit for NAMI of Davidson County, which is dedicated to improving the lives of people with severe and persistent mental health issues and those of their loved ones through effective and innovative support, education and advocacy.
More than 20 team members from Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee have already signed up for the event, and Stewart is encouraging more Goodwill employees and their families to participate. Goodwill is also accepting donations of shoes at the Wellness Festival to support its own mission of changing lives through education, training and employment.
Stewart said she has been a volunteer with NAMI since she was 14. Several members of her family have mental illness, including her mother, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder, andprotective prior art safe walls.
Also, different manners of handling the safe body and door walls are used in forming the barrier in the five sided safe body component on the one hand, and in forming the barrier in the substantially rectangular flat door component on the other hand. Also, the positioning of copper plate elements in the body and door cavities require different procedures.
Further, different procedures must be used for completing the metal encasement of the cast barrier in the body on the one hand, and for completing the metal encasement of the cast barrier in the door on the other hand.

of his poll during a speech earlier at the conference in London.
More than 19,000 people were questioned in 213 British constituencies in January and February 2013. The poll suggested Labour would gain 109 seats in total, returning a total of 367 MPs to parliament, a majority of 84.
It said there would be an average swing of 8% to Labour in the Conservative's most vulnerable seats.
Image caption Lord Ashcroft's poll predicts Labour could hold an 84-seat majority in the next Parliament
The Liberal Democrats also stand to lose seats according to Lord Ashcroft's research. The party would lose 17 constituencies to their coalition colleagues and 13 to Labour.
Poll 'snapshot'
The former Tory Party treasurer, who has donated millions of pounds to the Conservatives, used the speech to dismiss earlier newspaper claimsnot sit in Cabinet. That will allow it to maintain a separate voice for the party not constrained by government decisions.
As unpleasant as he appears to be, of the party's remaining TDs only Alan Kelly has the drive and ambition to rebuild the party, though he may not be able to resist the pull of office.
Government could also bolster its party's regrowth with some Taoiseach-nominee senators, and could even use the Seanad to broaden its top team by appointing a minister from the Seanad. The media would listen to Labour in government and the public will be aware of its existence.
Government might seem scary, but its alternative is irrelevance.

wide range and deep volume of information. Among the Dodgers' requests:
Pretty much everything to do with Major League Baseball's investigation of Dodgers' operations.
McCourt is especially concerned with the details behind the MLB-appointed monitor, Tom Schieffer, and even asks about Schieffer's potential interest in acquiring a portion of the Dodgers. Frank's filings also indicate a suspicion about Joe Torre's communications with Major League Baseball concerning Dodgers operations.
The Dodgers asked baseball for details of other teams' TV deals. Specifically, McCourt wants to openly compare the proposed Fox deal to those entered into by the Mariners, Rangers, Astros, Mets, and one currently being explored by the Padres. McCourt's goal is to show that the Fox deal was favorable to the Dodgers and that Selig's rejection was motivated primarily by a desireto force Frank McCourt out of baseball.
The Dodgers also want information about steps taken by baseball to squeeze McCourt financially.
In addition to denying McCourt the Fox deal, the Dodgers' filing also indicates that MLB cut off the Dodgers from the MLB-offered seasonal line of credit. McCourt also claims that in the weeks leading up to the Dodgers' bankruptcy filing, baseball changed its rules for obtaining debt financing, forcing Frank's hand further. Frank also asked baseball to turn over any documents about MLB's plans to remove McCourt as owner or even terminate the franchise altogether.
Finally, McCourt also wants baseball to reveal its handling of other teams in periods of financial stress.
Frank wants to know about baseball's approval of the Rangers' prepackaged bankruptcy, how baseball dealt with the Mets during

to receiver where he shattered freshman records in 2008 as an every down player, then the most important person at quarterback may very well be Dorman. If he can prove that he can handle being the team's backup, then it's much more likely that Tannehill becomes one of Johnson's favorite targets on the field instead of the man signaling him the plays from the sideline.
EXPECTATIONS:
Throughout his A&M career, Johnson has been the quarterback with the most buzz because of his arm strength, size and ability to move in and out of the pocket. But footwork and throwing motions have always been a setback for him.
Quarterbacks coach Tom Rossley, however, has worked a lot with Johnson over the past season and in the spring he looked like a differentplayer. With experience and poise now on his side as well as the physical tools, Johnson could break through and become one of the top signal callers in a conference loaded with big name quarterbacks.

church, and particularly the Latin in which the services were conducted, for the rich language and imagery of his writing.
Jacques went to St John's school, Kirkdale, until he was 15. He then joined the merchant navy before returning to Liverpool. He had a variety of jobs, including driving a milk truck, while beginning a creative career as a playwright and host of his own radio show, Jakestown, on BBC Radio Merseyside.
Delivering milk to the Royal school for the blind in Wavertree, Liverpool, brought Jacques into contact with the pupils, and it was for them that he first told the Redwall stories. The needs of this first audience encouraged Jacques to describe his newly created world as vividly as possible; wisely, he retained the same detail and drama whenthe stories were written down. Their quality was recognised by a former English teacher, Alan Durband, who sent them to a publisher without telling Jacques and secured him a contract.
Jacques was a natural storyteller. He told touching stories of the responses he got from young readers, with tears springing to his eyes. He revelled in being recognised within Liverpool. He was generous to his readers and his city, including becoming a patron of the Royal school, a role which he valued highly. He was intensely proud of his success and worked tirelessly to maintain it.
He is survived by his wife, Maureen, and two sons, Marc and David.

Coventry City fans were involved in a first-half protest against the owners of the club during tonight's match with Sheffield United.
Home supporters were handed whistles by protest organisers ahead of kick-off, which they collectively blew together as the game kicked off. You can watch the protest in the video below supplied by Matty Roper.
In addition to the whistles, many Coventry City supporters delivered a chorus of 'We want Sisu out' during the League One match which was televised live on Sky Sports.
Earlier, fans had sang Christmas carols outside the ground targeting the club's London hedge fund owners Sisu and its chief executive Joy Seppala whichyou can watch here.
Many Sky Blues fans have been at loggerheads with the club's owners for years, and tonight's protest was the latest in a series of demonstrations against the London-based Hedge fund Sisu.
On the stroke of 5 minutes, many supporters from the area of the ground commonly known as 'singer's corner' made their way from the stands towards the pitch.
One City fan managed to by pass stewards and make his way onto the playing surface, during which play was stopped as he proceeded to sit in the centre circle.

At all times relevant here, the City was a prime sponsor under a CETA grant administered by the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. Beginning in January 1975, the Department's New York Associate Regional Administrator, acting as Grant Officer, conducted an investigation into charges of nepotism and political influence in the City's employment of CETA participants. The investigation resulted in a determination by the Associate Regional Administrator, on March 3, 1978, that 51 participants had been improperly hired and that CETA funds in varying amounts paid to the City should be repaid.

a medication change. He said the superintendent on Wednesday expressed concerns about feeling exhausted. Guglielmi says Johnson visited a doctor Thursday to be evaluated on issues concerning his blood pressure.
Johnson was hospitalized in June after doctors found a small blood clot in his lung during a stress test done as Johnson approached the two-year anniversary of his transplant. The clot was treated with medication and rest.
Johnson was appointed superintendent in March 2016 by then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel. His predecessor, Garry McCarthy, was fired days after the release of a video of the 2014 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by officer Jason Van Dyke. Van Dyke was convicted of second-degree murder last year and is serving a nearly seven-year prison sentence.

Storyline
In Spain, the sports journalist Juan has a perfect life with his wife Sonia: they have just had a baby and moved to an old house that needs to be repaired in a fancy neighborhood. When Juan's sister and her husband visit the couple, they give them an electronic nanny to monitor the baby's room. During the night, Juan and Sonia hear voices in the room but theydo not find anybody. On the next day, Juan hires an alarm system for the house and a monitor to observe the baby's room. When Juan sees a man in the room, he gets a knife to protect his son. However, Sonia believes her husband is insane and moves to her mother's house. Juan investigates the happening with the former journalist Domingo, who explains him the paradoxical experiment Schrodinger's Cat and the existence of parallel worlds. Further, he advises the obsessed Juan to leave the house otherwise could be trapped in another world.Written by

Nature, Thermal bath and tradition
VAL DI RABBI: NATURE, THERMAL BATH AND TRADITION
Val di Rabbi is one of the most picturesque valleys in Trentino, characterized by a typically alpine landscape and an unpolluted natural environment, which is mostly protected by the Stelvio National Park. Rabbi is in fact a small jewel located among gentle slopes covered with conifer forests, which is the ideal habitat for many wild species such as deer, roedeer, foxes, and marmots. The peaks belonging to the Ortler Alps rise on the top. The valley includes green fields, small villages, and renovated chalets, which, together with rustic farmsteads and the innumerable mountain huts of the highest Alpine pastures, are the distinctive sign of a perfect union between men and mountains. Entirely crossed by the rushing watersof the Rabbies river and full of streams, waterfalls, and high-altitude lakes, the valley is known for its ferruginous mineral water, which has important therapeutic properties, thus qualifying the Spa of Rabbi, also visited by the Imperial Court of Austria in the past. The valley, which used to be completely wild, was slowly colonized in the Middle Ages by peasants who were looking for new lands and forests to exploit. With the passing of time, they developed a rural community that has transmitted knowledge, crafts, and traditions from generation to generation, while having shaped the surrounding landscape with the delicacy of a skilled artist.
Today, in a different socio-economic context, the inhabitants of the valley desire to protect their heritage in a modern way and without ignoring the needs

the day after the Church of England announced it was establishing more than 100 new churches, mostly in urban areas, some of which will be aimed at attracting young people to worship and engage in social action.
The ComRes survey was carried out to mark the publication of a book, Faitheism, by Krish Kandiah, a Christian academic and founder of the adoption and fostering agency, Home for Good. ComRes questioned just over 4,000 people in March this year.The Taurus with Sagittarius typifies the romance based on opposites attract. While there are some similar traits that are common to both the zodiac members, there are some severe divergences in their most defining traits. While the Taurean is a calm, balanced and sensible individual, the Sagittarian is most free spirited, energetic and restless. The most major sign of incompatibility is that while the Taurus-born is most likely to be possessive and jealous, the Sagittarius is freedom loving and enjoys his or her space. The protective and somewhat controlling nature of the Taurean can be a serious irritant for their partner.
The main binding force that may hold the Taurean and Sagittarian alliance together is their exceptional sexual chemistry. Their attraction is instantaneous and often leads to sexual encounters

Abu Ali was convicted in federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He is appealing his conviction.
Over two years ago, in an article dated October 5, 2005, significant concerns arose about the Islamic Saudi Academy:
WASHINGTON - The American government is demanding that Saudi Arabia account for its distribution of hate material to American mosques, as the State Department pressed Saudi officials for answers last week and as the Senate later this month plans to investigate the propagation of radical Wahhabism on American shores.
The flurry of activity comes months after a report from the Center for Religious Freedom discovered that dozens of mosques in major cities across the country, including New York, Washington, and Los Angeles, were distributing documents, bearing the seal of thegovernment of Saudi Arabia, that incite Muslims to acts of violence and promote hatred of Jews and Christians.
A Washington-based group that is part of the human rights organization Freedom House, the Center for Religious Freedom also found during its yearlong study that the Saudi-produced materials describe democracy and America as un-Islamic. They instruct recent Muslim immigrants to consider Americans as enemies and the materials urge new arrivals to use their time here as preparation for jihad. The documents also promote the version of Islam officially embraced by Saudi government and several of the September 11, 2001, hijackers, Wahhabism, as the only authentic Islam....
Some six months before the above article, the Washington Post published the following about the Islamic Saudi Academy:

General Information and Frequently Asked Questions About the Hank Aaron State Trail
The Hank Aaron State Trail is now a continuous trail from Lake Michigan to 94th Place. The overall length is approximately 12 miles, which includes several sections where there are parallel segments.
The section furthest east is on city streets, but the trail transitions to an off-street asphalt paved trail at Sixth and Canal Street, near the Harley Davidson Museum. It continues as a paved path all the way out to 94th Place.
West of 94th Place, the trail will be closed during construction of the Zoo Interchange. A detour route will be posted during Trail closures, but both routes link to the Oak Leaf Trail, which traverses through 100 miles of Milwaukee County.
How long will the detour beof Trail and the new Park just west of the bridge at 37th Street not paved?
We have been working with our many stakeholders on a 24-acre park and a 1-mile extension of the Hank Aaron State Trail through a former railroad yard located between approximately 37th and 27th streets. The new park opened on July 20, 2013 and is called Three Bridges Park. In addition to the newly paved asphalt sections, the park has crushed limestone walking paths, river access, ponds, terrific views from the hilltops, and a connection to Mitchell Park. There is also a new bridge located at 33rd Court behind Palermo's Pizza.

The graft vessel is subsequently approached to the anastomosis fenestra by reducing the separation between the compression plates, so that the graft vessel causes the eversion of the contour of the anastomosis fenestra by appropriately sliding on the surface of the anvil. Once the portion of the vessel that defines the opening has been everted then the compression plate apparatus can be compressed in a manner such that the everted portion of the receiving vessel is held against the everted portion of the other vessel such as a graft vessel. The relative separation of the compression plates is reduced to the extent necessary to bring the everted edges of the anastomosed structures into contact engagement so that a leak proof anastomosis is achieved.
A feature of the present inventionthe aid of a catheter or directly into the intraluminal space through a small incision at the anastomosis site.
Another feature of the present invention is that the anvil is configured in a way such that it cooperates with the cutting element in the opening of the anastomosis fenestra and it also cooperates with the compression plate apparatus in the eversion of the edge of the anastomosed fenestra. By joining the everted contour of the anastomosis fenestra with the everted edge of the graft vessel, significant exposure to the blood flow of the cut portion of the anastomosed structures is avoided. Furthermore, the use of the anvil in a plurality of operations permits a considerable simplification of the anastomosis procedure. These operations include the abutting of the receiving blood

age sixty five, or upon the termination of full time employment, or to his wife or estate, if he died before reaching sixty five. In addition, petitioner was permitted to work for Chrysler. Except for these amendments, the 1953 contract was to continue in full force and effect. Drysdale became a full time Chrysler employee immediately following the sale to Chrysler and retired in 1957. Briggs turned over to a trustee $16,500 in the tax year 1954 and $18,000 in the tax year of 1955. While Drysdale received nothing from the trustee in those years, the Commissioner contended, and the Tax Court agreed, that these amounts were income to Drysdale during the tax years under the doctrine of constructive receipt.

Drysdale contends that the Tax Court misapplied the constructiveDrysdale's reaching sixty five years, his death, or his retirement from full time activity. Not one of these contingencies had occurred when the 1954 or 1955 payments were made to the trustee. Drysdale was not sixty five, he was still alive, and his cessation of full time activity came in 1957 when he retired. That date, and no earlier date, brought into existence the obligation of Briggs to pay Drysdale $1500.00 a month. The only change made by the amendment was the reduction of the period during which such payments were to be made. His 1957 cessation of full time activities then, and then only, matured the Briggs' contractual promise. It is agreed that retirement from full time activity meant just that and not merely retirement from full

UPDATE:Protests and counter-protests continue in Crimea, the southern-most region of Ukraine, where former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is believed to have fled. Local media reports secession is on the agenda in the region, while Russian president Vladimir Putin has put troops in western Russia, near the Ukrainian border, on alert.
How quickly things can turn around. Euromaidan protests began in Ukraine last November, after President Viktor Yanukovych suspended talks with the European Union about a closer relationship. On Friday, the president and opposition leaders struck a deal to end the protests; parliament voted to immediately stop violence against protesters and to limit presidential power, while the president agreed to early elections. While the president denied that he was resigning, parliament voted to remove Yanukovych and hold elections in May.

Mexican state with a long tradition of ceramic production. In michoacan, red ware is used to make everything from large cooking posts to rice dishes to table dishes.
In Oaxaca, the town of San Bartolo is famous for its barro negro, or black clay. The clay gets this black color through pigments in the polishing process, which brings out the red color from inside the clay.
This technique was introduced to Mexico by a small group of Mexican ceramic artists who studied abroad, mainly in Japan and the United States. Little by little, it caught on, and these days there are several regional centers in which artists work with stoneware. Michoacan, Vera Cruz, and Jalisco are some states with this type of centers.
In Metepec, Mexico, the ceramic tradition has beenwalking across the rear of the premises to reach the parking area where their automobile was parked, Mrs. Caparella remembered that she did not have her kerchief with her.

craft that Zamora saw take off was the Air Force helicopter, then he was the most monumental ignoramus in the history of ignoramuses, and I don't hear anyone saying that.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, whatever Lonnie Zamora saw was most definitely not the Surveyor engineering model from Holloman.
A more persuasive explanation came from the unlikely source of Linus Pauling, the famous chemist who is as well known for his two Nobel prizes as he is for having descended into crankery in his later years, both with the promotion of Vitamin C as miracle cure-all, and less well known, for his interest in UFOs. After his death, a letter was found in Pauling's files from 1968, which he'd sent to Stirling Colgate,then President of New Mexico Tech, and received a handwritten reply on the bottom. As a postscript to his letter, Pauling had asked Colgate what the people at New Mexico Tech thought about the Lonnie Zamora incident, and Colgate scrawled back:
I have good indication of student who engineered hoax. Student has left.
Cheers, Stirling.
Students at tech universities have a long and time-honored tradition of pranking, and it turns out that Lonnie Zamora had worked on campus for several years, where he had developed a reputation for being somewhat rigid and impatient with the students. Consequently he was not overlooked by those with mischief on their minds when he became a police officer. UFO researcher Tony Bragalia corresponded with Dr. Colgate by email several times in 2012, as well as
