Theodore Roosevelt campaigns for the Presidency in 1904. AP Photo Theodore Roosevelt is widely regarded by historians as one of the greatest American presidents.
Born to a wealthy Manhattan family in 1858, Roosevelt grew up both sickly and pampered, but decided that he would not only overcome his debilitating asthma and become a cowboy but serve the American people through politics rather than relax with his father's money. This resilience and drive would inspire his distant cousin and future president Franklin D. Roosevelt decades later.
Teddy Roosevelt served as a New York assemblyman, the New York City police commissioner, lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War, assistant secretary of the Navy, the governor of New York, and then President William McKinley's vice president. After McKinley was assassinated in 1901, he becamethe country's youngest president at age 43.
Roosevelt brought the US into the Progressive Era, breaking up corporate monopolies, forming the conservation movement, and greatly increasing American influence around the world. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for brokering the end of the Russo-Japanese War.
He was also a master orator and prolific writer. We've gone through speeches, interviews, and letters for a few of his most memorable insights.

being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall bewith thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

Fukui filed marriage papers with a thirty-one-year-old woman from Tokyo on November 11, 2017. They started seeing each other in December 2013 and decided to get married this year in May. They are planning to hold a wedding ceremony in December.as many people still imagine it to be, you have to go back 50, even 100 years. About 100 years ago, almost half Australia's population of 4 million lived on rural properties or in small towns of fewer than 3000 people. Many of these would have been market towns serving the agricultural economy. Agriculture and mining accounted for a third of the workforce. And only about one in three Australians lived in a city of at least 100,000 people.
These days, agriculture employs only 3 per cent of workers and contributes only 2 per cent of GDP. Our two biggest CBDs contribute at least four times that much. By the end of World War II, manufacturing had become Australia's dominant industry. At its height in 1960, the report reminds

Optimus has the ability to change any part of his robotic body into a tool or gadget. He has swing lines in his wrists. His wrists can also fire capture bolas. His arsenal includes a grappler, fire extinguisher and a negative friction spray. It is interesting that, unlike all the previous series, his face can almost always be seen, because his mouthplate is retractable like in the 2007 live action film.

Prime and Koji went on to form a strong friendship, although Prime blamed himself for Koji's father's abduction. Optimus proved his bravery on many occasions, battling and defeating Sky-Byte in an underwater duel and personally rescuing Side Burn from a Predacon trap. Later, when Megatron targeted a tanker truck to scan as the alternate mode of the final protoform, Optimus Prime leapt into action in order to save the truck's human driver and, as a result, the tanker, Prime and the human were all scanned. With an infusion of Megatron's spark energy to complete the concoction, Scourge was born, emerging from his

he carried the injured Bumblebee to the infirmary. Telling him the story of the Energon Cube and the Autobots' coming to Earth, Prime showed Wataru the large chunk of the cube that they had managed to recover. He then turned his attention to repairing Bumblebee's wounds, and as such, did not notice Wataru reaching out to touch the cube sliver. A bizarre energy discharge resulted that not only showed the Autobots images of Another Time & Place, but also healed both Autobots' wounds. Prime dived at Wataru and hauled him away from the shard, returning things to normal, but leaving Prime with grave concerns over what the strange occurrence might mean. Kingdom of Giants
Henkei! Henkei! Transformers Convoy is a redeco of Classics Voyager Class Optimus Prime. He featuresa significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a vacuum-metalized grill/fender area. In robot mode all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since Henkei! toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, Henkei Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

approximately 8:00 p.m., he and the defendant were involved in an accident about two miles south of Fittstown, Oklahoma. He stated that he did not know the cause of the accident because he was asleep in the pickup. The witness then identified State's Exhibit No. 3 as the marihuana he bought on the night in question. Mr. McNutt stated that he and the defendant smoked the marihuana approximately twenty minutes prior to the accident. According to the witness, he and the defendant tried to back the pickup out of the ditch following the accident, but were unsuccessful so a tow truck was called. He further testified that the defendant was under the influence when they got out of the vehicle following the wreck and also when the policearrived at the scene.
On cross-examination, McNutt stated that he bought and picked up the marihuana himself and that the defendant was just along with him. He drove the vehicle to Fittstown and there the defendant took over the driving. According to Mr. McNutt, he agreed to testify at this trial to the truth and that he knew of no deal made with the District Attorney in an effort to obtain his testimony.
On redirect examination, the witness stated that his attorney had talked to the District Attorney in regard to his case and that prior to entering his guilty plea he was advised that the District Attorney's recommendation would not necessarily be followed by the court and that no promises were made to him. On recross-examination, the witness testified

identified State's Exhibit No. 3 as the bag he found in the pickup, stuck up under the running board of the front seat. The witness further related that he noticed an odor of beer and marihuana in the vehicle.
During cross-examination, Deputy Young stated that he did not know if the defendant was injured by the accident and that it was possible for an injured person to stagger following involvement in a wreck. He further testified that he did not see the defendant with any marihuana at any time. Thereafter, the State rested.
The defendant recalled Bob Williams as her first witness. He testified that he was the officer who incarcerated the defendant. He further stated that he did not detect an odor of alcohol on the defendant's breath andthat although the breathalyzer test was available, it was not administered. On cross-examination, he stated that based on his experience from previous arrests, he could distinguish between a person under the influence of drugs and one under the influence of alcohol and that in his opinion the defendant was under the influence of drugs.
The defense then recalled Deputy Sheriff Coy Young who testified that the actions of a person under the influence of alcohol are similar to those of a person under the influence of drugs.
The defendant next called Wylie Pitts an Oklahoma State Highway Patrol Trooper, who testified that he came into contact with the defendant on August 23, 1974, at the scene of the accident. He stated that he did not detect an odor from the

defendant. He further related that he made an accident report of the wreck and that the defendant was listed as injured. During cross-examination, Trooper Pitts testified that the defendant's injuries were very minor cuts or scratches on her leg.
The final witness for the defense was the defendant who testified that on the evening of August 23, 1974, she and Mr. McNutt were leaving Ada for a fishing trip to Tishomingo. They first drove to the home of one of McNutt's friends. She stated that she did not know the purpose for going by the friend's house, other than that McNutt said he wanted to get something to take with him on their trip. The defendant related that she waited in the pickup while McNutt went into the houseto see his friend. They then drove to a grocery store in Ada where McNutt bought some beer. She testified that she drank some beer as they set out for Tishomingo. The defendant said that she was driving the pickup outside of Fittstown when McNutt started grabbing the steering wheel which caused her to have the accident. Further, she testified that she never smoked marihuana and had none in her possession.
On cross-examination the defendant testified that she had never seen State's Exhibit No. 4. She stated that Mr. McNutt did smoke one marihuana cigarette in the vehicle, but that she never saw the roach clip or the bag of marihuana. She made no attempt to stop the vehicle after she discovered that McNutt was smoking the marihuana cigarette.

DeLong and the defendants are The Farmers Building and Loan Association, the depository of the account, Clara Harman DeLong, widow of George Gale DeLong who died intestate on April 11, 1960, George Robert DeLong, a son of George Gale DeLong, and E. W. Burdette and Charles Baker, Administrators of the estate of George Gale DeLong, deceased. The relief for which the plaintiffs pray in their complaint is that the court direct the defendant, The Farmers Building and Loan Association, to deliver the amount of the account and its accruals to the defendants, E. W. Burdette and Charles Baker, Administrators of the estate of George Gale DeLong, deceased, or to the defendant, Clara Harman DeLong, as the ownership of the account between the estateof George Gale DeLong and Clara Harman DeLong may be determined by the court.
By final judgment rendered February 1, 1963, the Circuit Court of Mason County found that 20.4% of the entire account in question amounting to $8,763.59 and its accruals, was owned by the defendant, Clara Harman DeLong, and that the remaining 79.6% of the entire account amounting to $8,763.59 and its accruals, is a part of the estate of George Gale DeLong, deceased, and ordered the defendant, The Farmers Building and Loan Association, to set aside and deliver the portion of the account belonging to the estate of George Gale DeLong, deceased, to the personal representatives of the estate for distribution according to law and ordered the defendants, E.

see what was going on. Those on the bottom three floors soon realised that the entertainment was on the fourth floor and drifted back inside. The people on the fourth floor thought all their Easter's had come at once and set up chairs in the hallway to enjoy the afternoon's entertainment.
Before the police could enter the room, a fumigation team arrived to disinfect the area. The resulting insect deaths brought forth a black carpet in all the hallways which fed the locals for several days. Those on the fourth floor took advantage of the fumigation to get their laundry done and have a wash to boot.
It was my fourth attempt at the opening and, though it still needs editing and adapting, it works better than the others. Soas I hadn't planned for this person to exist.
I find the process of deciding the opening to be more difficult that the rest of the book. For 'A Stitch In Time', it took months before I was happy with the opening and it meant discarding about twelve pages of prose that had Alan Radford preparing for his death and then being kidnapped. He was in a car either in the lake district or in a town far away from home. Then he was at home spending his last day on Earth, before I had him sitting at his computer typing the last email he'd ever send.
Now I have the opening of the book decided, for now at least, the rest of the book should follow relatively easily.

show.
In later TV roles, he played the bumbling son of bumbling spies Don Adams and Barbara Feldon on an ill-advised revival of Get Smart, the weasely cub reporter and office assistant Matthew on NewsRadio, the crazed drama teacher on the high school comedy Go Fish, and a wisecracking office supply clerk on Less Than Perfect. He also had his own Andy Dick Show on MTV, with recurring bits including Anus & Andy, Kid Christ, Question Mark Guy, and Zitty McGee, who wants to be a model but has a bad bout of acne. He spoofed Donald Trump in The Assistant, a satirical reality television show where contestants scrubbed vomit to get their shot at Hollywood success.
In movies, Dick's first major role was in Stiller's Reality Bites. He playedthe sheriff in the Unabomber comedy Ted, a gay best friend in Advice from a Caterpillar, Olga the Masseuse in Stiller's Zoolander, and Santa's scheming son in The Hebrew Hammer, but it remains that his biggest successes have come on television.
After his divorce, Dick and his ex-wife continued living in the same house to raise their children, and eventually his new girlfriend and his ex-wife's new boyfriend moved in. By the mid-1990s, Dick was widely known to be a heavy drug user. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous in 1997, but dropped out when his AA sponsor and friend Chris Farley died of an overdose. He called in to The Howard Stern Show while doing lines of coke and announced his bisexuality on the air. Six months later, Phil Hartman,

This means that the surface of the Moon is unprotected from cosmic rays, meteorites and solar winds, and has huge temperature variations. The lack of atmosphere means no sound can be heard on the Moon, and the sky always appears black.

This was a Soviet craft, which was launched from the USSR. It passed within 5995 km of the surface of the Moon before going into orbit around the Sun. The Moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System.
At 3,475 km in diameter, the Moon is much smaller than the major moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Earth is about 80 times the volume than the Moon, but both are about the same age. A prevailing theory is that the Moon was once part of the Earth, and was formed from a chunk that broke away due to a huge object colliding with Earth when it was relatively young.

In both families husband and wife are talented people. In both families they love each other. But the first family gets divorced, and the second one does not. What did lead to the divorce in the first family? In this family the wife did not see friend in her husband, did not consider him head of the family.
She treated him as an enemy and used to think that children were a trap that her husband purposely made to become more successful in the life. So when he studied his postgraduate education, the wife decided to get divorced. In the end,

those dates. On both dates, there was no evidence of instability, impingement sign was negative, and a cross arm test was negative. Abduction and flexion, internal and external rotation, and adduction of the left shoulder were all normal on both dates. Despite the petitioner's complaints of pain in the left shoulder, there was no evidence of a rotator cuff tear until the MRI was performed in December 2012. Contrary to the Supreme Court's statement in the judgment appealed from, there also is no evidence in the record that the petitioner requested an MRI of the left shoulder as early as August 17, 2011.
The Supreme Court may not substitute its judgment for that of the agency responsible for making the determination, but must ascertain only whether there is alarge sum of money.
Before the deputies searched the vehicle, they placed Ms. Gay and the driver in the rear seat of a patrol car which was equipped with a recording device. While in the patrol car the women engaged in a conversation which was recorded. They discussed various stories they might tell the police concerning the money and their intentions. During their conversation, the women made several arguably incriminating statements but did not make any direct statement that they were involved in illegal drug activity. No other contraband was retrieved from the vehicle.
After searching the car, the deputy questioned Ms. Gay further. She stated that her friend Mike had loaned her $5,000 of the money and that the rest was hers. She explained that she intended to use

what he can give to me physically. I try to help him, if you like, with certain shots. I like it if the actors participate in a very strong way in what we are doing. Or sometimes, when working with someone who is not an actor, I pretend he is doing something deeper than just professional or physical work. I pretend he gives me something from inside. I want him to become the character. In a case like this, the cooperation is much stronger.
_I have read that you often come on the sets with the actors not knowing what's going to happen during the day's shooting. Is it true that you do a great deal of improvisation as you're shooting?_
No, it's absolutely impossible to improvise. Making a movieIncidents of key snatching have been on the increase for the past two years.
Tourists have been left stranded at the side of the road without food or water, others have been verbally abused and at least one has been assaulted.
Welcome to New Zealand.
Key-snatching from tourists has become almost commonplace, at least during the summer season, despite repeated warnings by police and politicians urging people not to act like vigilantes.
MARION VAN DIJK/FAIRFAX NZ Police national road policing manager Steve Greally urged people to show empathy towards tourists on our roads.
Police have pointed to the inherent risk in tackling a stranger on the road while, sadly, some commentary has tended towards a stereotypical xenophobic, even outright racist, view of foreign drivers.

Winners of the RegioStars Awards 2017
On Tuesday evening the European Commission's RegioStars Awards ceremony took place in Brussels as part of the European Week of Regions and Cities.
This annual EU-wide competition puts the spotlight on the most innovative and inspiring EU funded projects and illustrates, through concrete real-life examples, how Cohesion Policy supports people's lives through the creation of economic growth and jobs at a regional level.
In addition to bringing recognition to the selected projects, it aims to foster the exchange of best practices between Cohesion Policy practitioners, as well as to inspire other project managers and managing authorities.
The 24 selected finalists come from regionsand cities in 20 Member States and one neighbouring country: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom and many of them address common challenges through cooperation across borders.
A five country-partnership of bio-innovation experts could be crucial to Europe replacing non-renewable resources and developing the bio-based economy. The Bio Base NWE project supported the increased commercialisation of innovation to make North-West Europe a leading player in the emerging bio-economy. This was possible with the cooperation of partners from regions in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

with the Father of Beginnings when he created other life and allowed it to continue creating. So their father, Kek, created his own children and they theirs, to populate the Cosmos with their begotten and thus end what is created; so that it may begin anew. The Father of Beginnings then decided to create the Guardians of the Cosmos to help protect creation and he made them eternal and their numbers were many. They made this realm their home and served the balance until their father went to sleep in order to continue the Cosmos. Then Kek, filled with jealousy and hate, attacked with his host and destroyed many Guardians, their cries awoke the Father of Beginnings and he banished Kek and his host to the chaotic realm,pensive mental processes, his mind presented the image of the young tree he passed by. The image the perfect camera that was his eye captured and stored in the quantum banks of memory; turning back, he gazed to imprint the previous reflection. Instantly his mind was drawn to his class on fractals, the natural method of continuity and growth. It was a phenomenon he realised was also in all things, from as tiny as blood vessels to a whole mass of trees.

I turned to see the rest of the convoy arriving with haste, swerving carelessly as men jumped out. I see, they want to play again, well I don't feel like playing right now. From the corner of my eye I caught the glimmer of the clasp securing my case and I could also see a train approaching. I'll have to leave the case, it doesn't have anything important anyway. I thought to myself as I ran towards the side of the bridge. It helps at least that I know they don't want me dead butof the surroundings filled my ears, from the critters that curiously approach, to the birds overhead... All seemed to enjoy living... But what am I to do? I needed to return to my father's house but the Brethren will definitely be guarding it.

The Mandwa project: an experiment in community participation.
The project at Mandwa was designed to study the problems of health in rural India and the delivery of health care by the existing public and private health systems. The results demonstrate the important role of socioeconomic and political factors not only in vital areas such as nutrition, water supply, sanitation, and housing, but also in the delivery of health services. The private sector showed a predominantly curative and monetary orientation, while the public sector demonstrated a lack of accountability to the people it was designed to serve. Under these conditions, an attempt was made to test the possibility of training local women in self-help with a minimal supportive service. The results reveal that adequate knowledge and technology exist for mostGulf Coast Showcase: Day 2

meal, and Rhodes went to sleep, leaving Weaver to watch television in the trailer as he waited for a friend to pick him up to visit a nearby city. Some time later, Weaver took the pick-up truck and was driving in the direction of Fort Polk, where Weaver was stationed, when the accident occurred, causing personal injuries and damages to plaintiffs. It is not disputed that the sole and proximate cause of the accident was the negligence of Weaver, and the record bears out this fact.
Rhodes testified he was an electrician working at Fort Polk as a civilian. He had met Weaver in September, 1964, on a project at the base. Weaver was an electrician's helper with the 46th Engineer Battalion. He stated he was a friend ofWeaver, though not a close personal friend. He had seen Weaver only on occasions at a local bar or restaurant, and on one occasion had invited Weaver with a group of other co-workers from the base to his home for a barbecue. He testified he went to the base on the morning of May 16, 1965, to get a friend named Ackerson to help him move the dryers and machinery of the washateria, and that Ackerson suggested they pick up Weaver. They picked up Weaver about mid-morning and proceeded to the washateria. There two large dryers were disconnected, loaded on the pick-up truck and delivered to another location in the Leesville area. Two trips were required because of the size of the units. After the work, at about

2:00 P.M., the parties visited a local lounge for a few drinks. Rhodes testified that Ackerson got a ride back to the base with someone else, Weaver accompanied Rhodes to his trailer. They arrived there about 2:30 or 3:00 P.M., had a few more drinks and ate a meal Mrs. Rhodes had prepared. He testified he did not have a telephone, and that Weaver went out to telephone someone who was to pick him up to go to a nearby city. Weaver asked permission to wait at the trailer for his ride. They watched television for a while. Rhodes testified he got sleepy and told Weaver he could watch television, but he was going to lay down and take a nap. He went to sleep in the backbedroom and was later awakened by his wife who told him about the accident. Rhodes testified that Weaver did not drive the truck during the time they were moving the dryers, nor had he ever driven the truck prior to the time of the accident. He testified that he had never given Rhodes permission to use the truck.
The testimony of Weaver was taken by two depositions which were filed in evidence. Weaver testified that at the time of the accident his home was in Delaware, and that he was in the U. S. Army assigned to duty at Fort Polk. He stated that Rhodes was a supervisory civilian electrician, and he saw him several times a week in his work. He testified he helped Rhodes during the morning

was being monitored by the Cheka. This time Stepanova said that her father was ill, in fact he was probably dying. This was the signal that something was badly wrong. A few hours later Paul met Stepanova in Kazan Cathedral, their emergency rendezvous.
It turned out that Varia, the nanny, had become involved with sending messages to Finland. Eventually a man arrived who said he had come from Ivan Sergeivitch and that she should return with him to Finland, bringing some things for Ivan's wife. Varia had left with the man and the next thing Stepanova had heard about her was that she was in the hands of the Cheka. Apparently Varia and her companion had gone to the Finland Station where they had been supposed to meet atower, eager to see what the results of the night's work had been. Of the _Oleg_ and her destroyers there was no sign. They could just make out Krasnaya Gorka. Worryingly, the White flag was no longer flying there but there was no sign of a Red flag either. Instead, there was just a haze of smoke as if many fires were burning. Gus didn't know whether his gamble had paid off or not.
The next day, Thursday, 19 June, dawned fine. Gus was none too sure what sort of welcome awaited them so they did not set off until three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at Biorko Sound at about 7.45 p.m. To the astonishment of all of them, the entire squadron was waiting. As they eased

Story Highlights
Union-Endicott High School graduate and former American League All-Star pitcher Jim Johnson signed with the Detroit Tigers today, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
Johnson's deal with the Tigers is a minor league contract, according to Rosenthal.
Johnson, a right-handed relief pitcher who graduated from U-E in 2001, was released on Aug. 1 by the Oakland Athletics, who traded for the former All-Star in the offseason from the Baltimore Orioles and signed him to a one-year, $10 million contract.
Johnson had worked out for 10 minutes at the Orioles' minor league facility in Florida on Monday, according to multiple reports.
Johnson struggled from the start of his time in Oakland, posting a 7.14 ERA in 38 appearances with the A's. He allowed 32 earned runs on 60 hits in 401/3 innings,striking out 28 and walking 23. Johnson had lost his role as closer for the A's within the first few weeks of the season opener.
Prior to this year, Johnson had a successful eight seasons with Baltimore, which drafted him out of high school in 2001. He had his most successful seasons as the team's closer in 2012 and 2013, becoming only the second reliever in baseball history to post back-to-back 50-save seasons with 51 in 2012 and 50 in 2013.
For his career, Johnson is 22-28 with a 3.47 ERA and 124 saves. He will be a free agent at the end of the season.

undivided India. Their combined share in 1881 was only around 21 per cent. The corresponding decline of more than 15 per cent in the share of the religions of Indian origin in the course of 130 years is indeed unusual.
Larger Muslim gains in specific parts of India
Another important aspect of the religion figures of the Census of 2011 that have appeared in the press is the very high growth of Muslims in some of the States of India. According to these reports, the share of Muslims has increased sharply in many parts of India, including in the states of Assam, West Bengal, Kerala, Goa, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and Haryana.
Muslims now form 34.2 per cent of the population of Assam, which is 3.2 percentage points higher than1991. Given the surprisingly large rise in the share of Muslims in the State as a whole between 2001 and 2011, Hindus from many other taluks may have been compelled to flee from their homes.
Similarly there are also several districts and taluks in other parts of the country, especiallyin West Bengal, Kerala and Haryana, where Hindus have been reduced to an unviable minority. The impact of the rapid rise in the Muslim share in these States on the Hindus of those vulnerable districts and taluks within them can be assessed only when the detailed disaggregated data are formally released.
Given these trends, the need for the formal release of the complete Census data on religion has become even more urgent.

Triggers may range from a viral infection or illness to environmental chemical exposure. Chemical intolerance occurs more commonly in women, which may be because of hormone differences, as many food chemicals mimic hormones.
A deficiency in digestive enzymes can also cause some types of food intolerances. Lactose intolerance is a result of the body not producing sufficient lactase to digest the lactose in milk; dairy foods which are lower in lactose, such as cheese, are less likely to trigger a reaction in this case. Another carbohydrate intolerance caused by enzyme deficiency is hereditary fructose intolerance.
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder caused by an immune response to the protein gluten, results in gluten intolerance and can lead to temporary lactose intolerance.

didn't spot one of her Treacy hats on the horizon first. This was the signal to apply lipstick and high heels - according to Isabella, wearing jeans and trainers was a sackable offence. Often, because of the rush, lipstick would end up on my teeth or halfway down my chin, but this was fine because that was Isabella's look, too.
When her expenses became too inflated, she agreed to use the underground instead of taxis, and found that she enjoyed it. I would meet her at the station to show her the back route to the office - it was a daily worry that the sight of her, in stilettos, furs, perhaps her one-legged trouser suit and hat, would cause a road accident on the main dual carriageway.
Isabella -or Izzie, as she was known - said that her love of fashion came from her grandmother, Lady Vera Delves Broughton, a photographer, explorer and hunter. The family had lived at Doddington, a castle with 35,000 acres of land in Cheshire, since the 14th century, but it was sold to pay off her grandfather's gambling debts and, as a child, Isabella could see the castle only from her family's cottage on the estate. Her parents never got over the death of their only son - a two-year-old who Isabella saw drown in the family swimming pool - and she told me they had seemed to lose interest in her and her sisters.
Born in London, she was sent to Heathfield school, in Ascot, Surrey. When she was 14, her

summer when journalist-turned-politician, Nikol Pashinyan, began a long march to the capital from the west of the country, promising to end the endemic corruption and economic mismanagement that has dogged Armenia for decades.
By the time he reached Yerevan his support had grown to many hundreds of thousands.
The country came to a standstill as peaceful protesters defied ominous threats from the authorities and, incredibly, Pashinyan was eventually able to assume the role of prime minister without a shot being fired.
He consolidated this in a snap election in December 2018 when he won over 70 percent of the vote and a mandate for change.
Environment first?
Now, among the many pressing issues on his desk, is the question of what to do about the Amulsar mine.
Backed by the previous administration, it iscurrently on hold while Pashinyan ponders whether to let it go ahead. That is not a straightforward question.
161026070435409
For all the dreadful environmental problems mining has brought Armenia in the past, the country's battered economy is in dire need of the foreign investment and jobs that, properly run and managed, the industry could bring in.
Nevertheless, in the wake of the velvet revolution - and drawing inspiration directly from it - the protesters at Amulsar began their blockade in the hope the new government would take notice.
A few days before December's poll, Pashinyan travelled to the region to speak to the protesters and, though still outwardly noncommittal about what decision he will take, he dropped some reassuring clues when he told them he would always put the country's environment first.

University of Michigan Basketball player, Mitch McGary, played only 8 games this season. He was limited, because of a nagging back injury. Last year he showed a lot of promise, and was getting a lot of attention from the NBA. After this season, he was considering going back to school to prove himself, as he missed most of this season. He no longer has to make a decision, the NCAA made it for him.
Mitch smoked weed one night in March while his team was playing in the tourney. When his team made the sweet 16, he travelled with them to support. Somehow, he was chosen for a random drug test.
He failed, and the NCAA has an outdated, zero tolerance policy

legs, then out to the sides again and back around the column. He tied my knees with ropes extending out away and behind me, pulling the ropes tight to spread me as wide as he could. My ankles were next, pulled tightly out to the sides and tied to more struts. More rope wound around my chest to secure me to the column, and then a few more loops around my breasts picked them up high and pointed them down the tracks. Finally, he bound each wrist and tied them so that my arms were stretched wide up and away from my body. As a finishing touch, he put the bondage harness on my head, strapped it on tightly, and tied the ring on the top of theharness to the pole behind me, keeping my head high. When he finished, I was fully displayed, unable to move a muscle. He put everything back into the knapsack and slung it over his back, then hopped down to the ground. As he ran his eyes over my helpless body, I felt another drop of his cum trickle out of my pussy and ooze down my crack.
He just stood there looking at me for a long moment, then casually lit a cigarette. I worried that someone would see the brief flame or the glowing cigarette end, but all I could do was look around in front of me and to the sides. After he finished his smoke, he looked at his watch and ground the cigarette butt out

him, and that was probably how I'd continue to refer to him within the confines of my thoughts.
I yanked my gaze from him and concentrated on the sight looming before me. Sidhe soldiers stood at attention on either side of the shining silver gate and on walkways built toward the top of the wall. A shiver wrapped itself around my spine. The soldiers looked more like warriors of old I'd seen in a few contraband books, courtesy of the printing press that the underground movement apparently had stashed somewhere. Gran had quite a few of those paper treasures carefully hidden away beneath our rotting wood floor. A lump popped up in my throat, threatening to choke me. Would I ever get to see them again?
Wanting to think ofthe boy. Whether he'd help the situation or make it worse was to be seen. I bit my lip, wanting to take action but knowing I couldn't.
By now, nearly everyone who wasn't human was witness to this appalling act and yet did nothing. The few humans nearby scattered as fast as they could with their heads down, their pace much more hurried now.
Rage and pain burned in the depths of my stomach like acid to see my people reduced to this. Though I'd seen discrimination before, what was happening before me was so much more potent. There was no buffer of countless humans around. Suddenly, the realization hit me that although this was still Chimra, the Sidhe city couldn't be further removed from the human portion than if

part of me wondered if it would be that way with other men, or if it could only happen with a select few. I'd heard enough talk of sex to know even those who loved engaging in the act found some partners sadly lacking. Though I probably had my answer, it seemed like a very unfair one. I scoffed. When had life ever been about evenhandedness and justice?
As I considered my predicament over the next minutes, it became apparent that nothing had truly changed about the situation other than the loss of my virginity. I'd have to carry on as I'd started until an opportunity for escape presented itself. Even then, would I ever be free of him? With his power, I'd never be able to stay hiddenwander about, picking up this knickknack or that.
A few sofas and tables dotted the sitting-room area, but around the corner, I discovered something much greater, a small library and office.
This space was masculine without being overwhelming. A big desk dominated the area. At some point, I'd have to see if I could snoop through the drawers. I doubt he kept anything there of importance without it being locked up, though.
I took in the rest of the space. My attention landed on a sword hanging on the wall. I froze. A sword? He left weapons I could use against him? That meant he was either arrogant or sure of his abilities, maybe both. If it was made out of fae metal, then this sword could harm even the most

could be making that racket? He stomped his way back downstairs, ready to deal a tongue lashing to some forward servant. At the threshold of the music-room door, he froze. Under one of the lit scones, Lina sat behind a piano, perched on the edge of a bench. With her eyes closed, she pressed keys and nodded her head at each note. Her body swayed slightly as if she were imagining a great masterpiece playing in her mind.
It was adorable and so unlike what he'd seen of Lina so far, that he could only stop and stare. She didn't notice his presence. The experience of the piano had her immersed. Though he'd thought he wouldn't be able to smile this evening, he felt a smile curl his lips.
Thego hand in hand? It should be an easy question, but he didn't have a clear answer.
Besides, not everything rested in his hands. Not even he could control her thoughts. Well, with the right touch of delicate magic, he could, but then she wouldn't be herself. She wouldn't be Lina. And he found himself loathe to use even subtle mind manipulation on her. He'd forced her hand enough, though he'd spoken truthfully when he'd said that he hadn't used any magic to make her desire him. The bond itself took care of that and worked upon him just as much, if not more.
Her gaze drifted around the room, and when it glided over him, she froze for a second. Then her head swung back toward him so that

This story was co-published with the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Early one winter morning last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were scouting the last-known address of a fugitive they had labeled Target #147 when they happened upon Isabel Karina Ruiz-Roque.
A turkey farmworker for over a decade, Ruiz-Roque had kept her head down and her record clean, never once encountering los ICEs, as she called them. Then two federal agents rapped on her car window and flashed a photo of the immigration fugitive they believed to be her York County neighbor. Ruiz-Roque, 34, said she did not know the woman, and they told her not to worry, that she was not their target.
Two weeks later, during an enforcement operation that prized big arrest numbers, the agents returned and demanded she letsaid.
After President Trump was elected, but before he took office, a 60-year-old Guatemalan dishwasher got a taste of what was in store for undocumented immigrants in Pennsylvania.
In late November 2016, while riding his rusty bicycle to his job in Doylestown, the man found himself surrounded by six ICE officers, as his lawyer, Brennan Gian-Grasso, described it. They showed him a photograph, saying they were searching for the fugitive pictured, who they believed had lived in his apartment unit. He did not know the man, he told them.
The federal agents put his bike in their car, drove him home, and took his keys from his backpack. When they could not locate their target, they arrested the dishwasher instead: a man with no criminal record who, his boss said, is

which may have impacted older District Managers more so than younger managers. Such an allegation does not support an inference of disparate treatment, but could support an inference of disparate impact.
Nevertheless, Williams argues that the 1996 salary policy resulted in disparate treatment because Dictaphone applied the policy in a discriminatory way. Specifically, Williams contends that Dictaphone refused to consider the fact that his grand jury duty and an intermittent illness prevented him from meeting his 80 percent sales quota by May 1996. See Item 26, Williams, ¶¶ 27-31, 70-71 and Exh. 48. In addition, Williams contends that Dictaphone's age bias is belied by the fact that it arbitrarily elected not to enforce the salary reduction policy against a District Manager by the name of Randy Rawlingson. Item 26,Williams, ¶ 65.
However, neither of these arguments tend to show that Dictaphone applied the 1996 salary policy in a discriminatory way. First, Dictaphone may have enforced the salary policy against Williams even though he served on jury duty from late May until July 1996 and was intermittently suffering from a debilitating stomach illness. Yet, when it came to the 1996 salary policy, there is no evidence that Dictaphone accommodated younger District Managers or treated them more leniently. Second, it is conceded that Dictaphone did not reduce the salary of Southern Texas's District Manager, Randy Rawlingson. Yet, Williams implies that Rawlingson was over 40 years of age at the time he evaded enforcement of the 1996 salary policy a fact that weighs against Williams' case rather than in

Re: NCAA 157 pounds
Lots of if's an's and but's in that scenario Kr. I think its Fittery and Taylor at the top of 157 this year followed by the rest. Those two have beaten up on everybody. Aside from Taylor and Fittery I think the battle for third place is wide open with a slight edge to Hall. Having said that, the national tournament is a whole other animal. Either one, or both, of those two could get knocked out opening up the whole weight for St. John to win his first title.

landlord, mercantile and professional classes. Beneath them lay a yawning chasm of illiteracy. This stark differentiation was tempered over time as more members of the middle and lower classes like artisans and farmers acquired literacy skills.
For England, lowland Scotland, the Netherlands, north-western Germany and north-eastern France, an expansion of literacy for the middling ranks had occurred by the end of the seventeenth century. For men at least, Castile in the sixteenth century had been on a par with France and England until the second quarter of the seventeenth century. Between ca. 1620 and ca. 1740, however, it failed to develop at the same rate. The literacy of Castilian women crept up only marginally between ca. 1500 and 1740.18 The second half of the eighteenth century was better forwomen everywhere in Western Europe. Female literacy grew much more rapidly than male literacy in northern France in the two generations before the Revolution thanks to the work of nuns in teaching orders, while in parts of north-western Germany girls began to receive instruction in arithmetic for the first time. Currents of change ebbed as well as flowed.19 For centuries the leaders in raising literacy, some early industrial towns of Britain and the southern Low Countries saw falling levels in the late eighteenth century as population growth swamped the social infrastructure and child employment created a disincentive for education.20 An important lay voluntary sector, providing Sunday and evening schools, emerged to fill the gap, building on native traditions of self-help, but also following centuries of comparable initiatives in

houses and taverns. Theatres and concert halls enhanced the role of the oral and the visual. This was, nevertheless, a new cultural world which depended on fluent reading and easy access to print culture.33 Literacy had become a vital link in the chain of communication and reading and writing skills were being used differently. Texts began to take on different social and psychological functions. Those read aloud in clubs had the specific function of bringing people together, while personal reading was a supplement to, rather than a substitute for, convivial and sociable interactions.34 In an age when virtue, happiness and taste acquired new social and cultural meanings, late eighteenth-century diaries and autobiographies were increasingly written to explain, express and improve the secular self, rather than serving as anopportunity for spiritual and moral reflection as in the seventeenth-century.35
Change came slowly, but the potentially revolutionary impact of literacy is plain. The ability to decipher letters, words, phrases and sentences and then, perhaps, even compose texts was a skill that opened many doors. The conservative aspirations of early education campaigns were quickly transcended as men and women began to read, contemplate and discuss the scriptures, providing their own independent responses to the messages of the written word. In the eighteenth century, newspapers flourished in Northern Europe, feeding on political differences, but also tapping into extensive literacy and a hunger for its products, thus helping to create a well-informed, articulate and potent public opinion. English newspapers were numerous, cheap, widely distributed and largely uncensored. Furthermore, approximately a quarter of

He also stated that one of the reasons for losing the election was due to the union's objection to his having anything to do with Hartford. Hatch stated that he thought there was something in what Clarke said and that he had considerable sympathy for him. Clarke said he needed $10,000 and Hatch told him he thought that was a little bit high, but would take the matter up with his company. He did and was instructed by Brown not to make anyfor motions for rehearing, during which time negotiations were being carried on which resulted in a settlement of that litigation whereby Hazel-Atlas paid to Hartford, in which Owens shared, $1,000,000, and licensing agreements were made. Announcement of this settlement was made through trade papers on or about July 22, 1932. Carter, in his testimony, said that he did not authorize any particular payment of money to Clarke, though the matter had been mentioned to him, and he thought it was right in view of the value which the article had in Judge Buffington's opinion and the settlement which had been made of that suit, which resulted in the payment of $1,000,000, and would result in the payment of several millions more.

St. Cloud, Minn., with 1,000 shares of outstanding capital stock, of the par value of $100 a share.
In September, 1921, John Schmolke, one of the customers of the bank, was indebted to it. On September 27, 1921, Schmolke and his wife deeded to the bank a 120-acre farm in Morrison county, Minn., subject to two mortgages aggregating $6,000, due September 27, 1923, and December 15, 1924, respectively. The bank allowed Schmolke $2,000 credit on his indebtedness as a consideration for the deed.
Roepke and Hubbard, who owned an undivided one-half interest in the contract for the Williams farm, entered into negotiations in the late summer of 1922 with L. F. Cary, president of the bank, relative to trading their interest in the Williams farm to the bank and takingRoepke, Hubbard, Totten, and Vertin dated September 30, 1922, acknowledged and recorded on October 10, 1922, conveying 427 acres of the farm covered by the prior contract; that Roepke, Hubbard, Totten, and Vertin executed and delivered to Mr. Williams their two mortgages, both dated September 30, 1922, and both recorded on October 10, 1922, one of which was given as security for a note of $11,000 and covered 160 acres. It was acknowledged by Roepke on October 6, 1922, by Hubbard on October 5, *245 1922, and by Totten and Vertin on October 10, 1922. The other mortgage was given as security for a note of $25,000, and covered the balance of the 427 acres, and was acknowledged by the respective parties on the same dates as the

district court of Ramsey county against the bank, Roepke, Hubbard, and Vertin to collect the balance of the interest due on September 30, 1927, amounting to $1,080. It appears that Vertin had paid one-half of the total amount of interest due. The complaint alleged the assumption of the mortgages by the bank. The defendants defaulted, and judgment was entered against the defendants on January 5, 1928, for $1,109. The judgment was transcripted and docketed in Stearns county, Minn., and execution was issued and returned unsatisfied. No further interest other than that which became due on September 30, 1926, has been paid by the bank, but Vertin has paid one-half of the interest to and including that due on September 30, 1929. At the time this case was tried,no doubt that the bank had the right to take in the equity of the Schmolke farm in payment of a portion of Schmolke's indebtedness. The complainant's theory is that, having taken in that equity, it was within the incidental powers of the bank and of its president acting for it, to trade the equity for the equity in another farm and to assume, as incident thereto, obligations totaling $36,000.
With respect to real estate, section 29, title 12, USCA, authorizes a national banking association to purchase, hold, and convey such real estate as shall be conveyed to it in satisfaction of debts previously contracted in the course of its dealings.

friend and I remember she put them both in their one day when they were crying, she was walking around swinging and rocking it by the handles trying to get them to quiet down to no avail. It was physically and emotionally draining both of us.
Once they were out of hospital they were on a two hourly fading schedule and they kept it for 16 weeks, day and night!! They never stretched their feeds out over night. It was gruelling! Every time I brought it up to a professional they said it was normal, maybe it is, but it was the worst thing for my mental health at the time and could have done with some advice on how to stretch their feeds out as everything I triedfriend Jamie who would come most afternoons to help me with witching hours, I was so grateful and it was really amazing for their bond as they love her so much as they spent a lot of time together. Whenever Julia came over for Sydney she would get up in the mornings with them to give us sleep ins. My friend Emma came over with her mother in law one time and the boys were just upset and crying the whole time, I ditched the kids with them for ten minutes so I could hang all my washing up outside. I came back in and you could really see the reality of what my day-to-day life had dawned upon them. It was nice for people to finally see

What to see and do in Kuala Lumpur
Modernity meets old colonial roots and tradition in the buzzing Malaysian capital city, Kuala Lumpur. While KL is a melting pot of Chinese, Indian, Malay and British cultures, it's also pioneering the cutting-edge of engineering in Southeast Asia. Home to the tallest building in Asia, the Petronas Twin Towers, KL also enjoys a fast growing economy. On the other hand, Chinese markets are still in their full splendour as well as other cultural buildings. The ancient temples that sit comfortably next to immense metal structures that bring the skyline to life prove that KL is a city of contrasts.

Dating back to 1995, the Menara KL Tower is a communications tower that is 421 metres tall, and thus the world's 7th tallest communication tower in the world. You can have dinner that the restaurant in the 360 degree view observation deck, which is at 276 metres. Alternatively, you can visit the small zoo, tourist shops and cascading water pools with fountains located at the bottom of the tower.
Central Market
From clothing to batik, you can find traditional locally made crafts in Central Market. Since its early days in 1888, Central Market is the beating heart of Kuala Lumpur, a prominent landmark incity through the eyes of local hosts.
This initiative stems from Malaysia's growing popularity as a global destination, with 137% growth year over year. With this new launch, Kuala Lumpur becomes the first city in Malaysia where Airbnb is not only a platform for home sharing but also offers tours and activities orchestrated by locals to ensure that travellers have the option to see areas and places they wouldn't otherwise know about. Although this programme might be a novelty in Malaysia, there are 60 other destinations around the world where Airbnb's Experiences are already in motion.

- Dive into the underwater world of Sipadan - Malaysia's only oceanic island situated in the Celebes Seas off the east coast of Borneo. Renown as one of the world's best dive spots, Sipadan Island was morphed and brought to life by coral growing on top of an extinct underwater volcano cone. As you explore its underwater world, you'll get to see some of the 3000 fish species along with the different corals that make Sipadan one of the richest marine habitats in the world. There you'll be able to swim with green and hawksbill turtles, spot sharks, barracuda, bumphead parrotfish, and even whale sharks if youis a warm country all year round. Nonetheless, it is also humid, therefore it is crucial to stay well hydrated and take a break from the heat in shopping malls or museums.
The rainy seasons go from March to April and from September to November. Travelling during these months is still advisable as it is slightly cooler. Whether you travel during the months rainfall peaks or not, it is practical to always carry an umbrella as occasional downpours are likely to happen all year round.

The Malaysian hip hop scene
Hip hop is amongst the many genres of music that is followed with great fervour in Malaysia. It is not just Western exports like 50 Cent or Kanye West, however, that Malaysian rap fans enjoy. Since the early 1990s successive generations of home-grown rap acts have been bringing their own distinctly South East Asian flavour to the music.
The scene began with acts such as 4U2C, NICO and, particularly, KRU, who went on to found one of Malaysia's most famous labels and studios. Today, everything from albums to movies to books comes out under the KRU Studios label. Though influential, none of these bands quite made the mainstream breakthrough that hip hop needed in the country.
The real breakout rap group in Malaysia wasKrash Krozz, who added a more RnB-ish flavour to the mix, something akin the New Jack Swing sound spearheaded by Teddy Riley and Bernard Belle in late-80s America. Krash Krozz had some success with their debut LP but fell away and disbanded soon after.
Though they were successful and very influential, Krash Krozz's fate speaks volumes about Malaysian hip hop in the 90s. In a country in love with rock, pop and traditional music, trying to convince people to dig rap was not an easy task.
The game-changing moment came in 1995 when an album called It's a Nice Day to be Alive hit the shelves. The debut LP from a young underground hip hop collective called Poetic Ammo, it packed a raw, hard edged sound that was the polar

opposite of the more poppy attempts at rap that had proceeded it. It was a runaway success, making superstars of the groups four members: Yogi B, Point Blanc, Landslyde and C Loco.
Poetic Ammo's success paved the way for more Malaysian hip hop artists to get mainstream attention. Perhaps the most notable of all was Too Phat, the Kuala Lumpur duo whose first single Lil Fingaz was put on steady rotation on Malaysian radio throughout 1999.
Thanks to Too Phat, Poetic Ammo, KRU and Krash Krozz, rap music is now a part of Malaysia's pop music scene. Things have certainly come a long way since the early 90s.
The dazzling career of Malay jazzman Aubrey Suwito
A Malaysian pianist, songwriter and producer, Aubrey Suwito has been involved in the music industry sincethe tender age of six. That was when he first put his hands on a piano's keyboards and thoughts himself a few chords. It was the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would see Suwito rise right to the top of the South East Asian music scene, becoming musical director of Malaysian Idol and being awarded multiple times for his incredible contribution.
Suwito's gifts were apparent from early on in his life and so it was no surprise that he crossed the Atlantic and enrolled in the Berkeley School of Music in Boston in 1991. The most formative part of his education was his first exposure to the rich history of American jazz music, which would inform his song writing from that time on. He took a job at

|
a recording studio after graduation and, quite quickly, his talents were noticed.
He began writing and producing songs for a diverse string of popular musicians, most notably Jaclyn Victor for whom he wrote the award winning smash Gemilang. As well as the work he has done for others, Suwito also boasts an impressive discography of his own LPs. His first album, One Busy Street was originally released in 2000 and fused his own Malay musical heritage with his love of Jazz and other American styles. It is a real treat for anybody interested in world music, as it brings together diverse elements of sound from different cultures to create a new and enticing audio palette. His second album, Christmas with Friends from 2010 was the sister recording for afundraising concert he and his wife put on to help musicians in need of medical assistance. A jaunty though captivating collection of traditional Christmas hits given a jazzy spin, it packs some truly spectacular moments, including a superb rendition of O Holy Night.
A recent album is Home, released in 2011 and this is perhaps Suwito's most clear attempt to make a fuse Malaysian and American music to form a new sound yet. Typically, Malaysian rhythms play below jazz riffs before, occasionally, breaking into Asian pop melody. For anybody interested in Malay music, Aubrey Suwito is a must-listen. More on crankymusic.

The molding system described above is referred to as a side-gate mold, because the gates 110 are positioned at the sides of the cavities 102, on the parting line between the top and bottom plates.
While the process described above has for years been adequate for most molded packaging requirements, recent developments in semiconductor technology have been found to be less compatible with the traditional processes. In particular, as circuit density has increased, the pitch of the circuit pads onwith semiconductor chips 146 attached and positioned in the cavities 128. Wire bonds 148 couple the semiconductor chips 146 to lead frame fingers 150.
Typically, during operation, the top plate 122 remains stationary, while the middle and bottom plates 124, 126 move during each cycle. At the beginning of a cycle, a lead frame 144 is positioned on the bottom plate 126, which is then moved up against the middle plate 124, and both plates are moved up against the top plate 122. Molding compound is heated and introduced into the sprue 132 at a sprue bushing 133. The molding compound flows into the runners 134 and fills each reservoir 136 in turn. As the molding compound is filling the reservoirs, fluid pressure is relatively low, so very little

of the viscous molding compound may pass the narrow gates 140. However, when the last reservoir is filled, fluid pressure increases, forcing the compound through the gates 140 and into the cavities 128. As molding compound flows into the runner system 130 and cavities 128, displaced air escapes through passages provided for that purpose, or via thin gaps between the plates. Because it flows into the cavities 128 from above the wire bonds 148, there is less of a tendency for the molding compound to sweep the wires out of position, so the failure rate is reduced, as compared to a side-gate mold system.
Once the cavities are filled, the molding compound in the cavities 128 and runner system 130 is cured, and the press is opened to removeplates separate. This causes the molding compound reside 141 in the gates 140 to break, separating the runner system element 152 from the packages 129. After the runner system element 152 is separated from the packages 129, the ejector pins 142 move downward, ejecting the material from the reservoir locks 138 and separating the runner system element from the top plate 122. The middle and bottom plates 124, 126 also separate, and the lead frame is removed. Frequently, ejector pins are also provided in the bottom plate 126 to permit easy removal of the packages 129.
In the field of injection and transfer molding, there are two main classes of materials used to formulate molding compounds: thermoplastics, and thermosets. Thermoplastics are materials that soften or liquefy when heated, and

leisurely trifles, happy with a childlike happiness.
And thus I went slowly back to College in that gathering gloom that
seldom fails to bring a certain peace to the mind. The porter sate,
with his feet on the fender, in his comfortable den, reading a paper.
The lights were beginning to appear in the court, and the firelight
flickered briskly upon walls hung with all the pleasant signs of
youthful life, the groups, the family photographs, the suspended oar,
the cap of glory. So when I entered my book-lined rooms, and heard the
kettle sing its comfortable song on the hearth, and reflected that I
had a few letters to write, an interesting book to turn over, a
pleasant Hall dinner to look forward to, and that, afterthe latter temperament; and I cannot believe that
there is any duty which should lead me to resist the impulse as a
temptation to evil. But the truth is that sociable people, like
liturgical people, require, for the full satisfaction of their
instincts, that a certain number of other persons should be present at
the ceremonies which they affect, and that all should be occupied in
the same way. It is of little moment to the originators of the ceremony
whether those present are there willingly or unwillingly; and thus the
only resource of their victims is to go out on strike; so far from
thinking it a duty to be present at social or religious functions, in
order that my sociable or liturgical friends should have a suitable
background for their pleasures, I think it a solemn duty

when they are enabled to approach it, more poignantly still.
FitzGerald tells a story of how he went to see Thomas Carlyle in
London, and sate with him in a room at the top of his house, with a
wide prospect of house-backs and chimney-pots; and how the sage reviled
and vituperated the horrors of city life, and yet left on FitzGerald's
mind the impression that perhaps after all he did not really wish to
leave it.
The fact remains, however, that a love of nature is part of the panoply
of cultivation which at the present time people above a certain social
standing feel bound to assume. Very few ordinary persons would care to
avow that they took no interest in national politics, in games and
sport, in literature, in appreciation of nature, or in religion. As a
matterthink it one of
the brightest flowers of the human spirit, and I think it well that any
boy with a real literary sense should be brought into contact with it.
I do not think highly of Latin literature. There are very few writers
of the first rank. Virgil is, of course, one; and Horace is a splendid
craftsman, but not a high master of literature. There is hardly any
prose in Latin fit for boys to read. Cicero is diffuse, and often
affords little more than small-talk on abstract topics; Tacitus a
brilliant but affected prosateur, Caesar a dull and uninspiring author.
But to many boys the path to literary appreciation cannot lie through
Latin, or even Greek, because the old language hangs like a veil
between them and the thought within. To some boys the enkindling of

meet his small
expenses. But Thoreau was indolent rather than simple; and what spoilt
his simplicity was that he was for ever hoping that he would be
observed and admired; he was for ever peeping out of the corner of his
eye, to see if inquisitive strangers were hovering about to observe the
hermit at his contemplation. If he had really loved simplicity best, he
would have lived his life and not troubled himself about what other
people thought of him; but instead of that he found his own simplicity
a deeply interesting and refreshing subject of contemplation. He was
for ever looking at himself in the glass, and describing to others the
rugged, sunbrowned, slovenly, solemn person that he saw there.
And then, too, it was easier for Thoreau to make money than it would be
for the ordinaryof my few
short days gone, another step nearer to the unseen. Slowly but not
sadly I return, for I have been for a moment nearer God; the very
thought that rises in my mind, and turns my heart to His, comes from
Him. He would make all plain, if He could; He gives us what we need;
and when we at last awake we shall be satisfied.

Yui and Kirito were teleported somewhere atop the World Tree, where Yui detected Asuna. Yui, in her normal form, did not have access to any mapping data of the World Tree, but knew where Asuna was and guided Kirito through the corridors and exited to the branches. Kirito discovered that there was no City in the sky as claimed, thus the Grand Quest was a complete lie, and cursed Sugou Nobuyuki. They continue running until they see the cage in which Asuna was held prisoner.
Kirito, Asuna and Yui reunited.
Yui destroyed cage's opening and ran in to hug Asuna. Kirito soon joined them and they were happy that they were reunited. Kirito asked Yui if she could log Asuna out, but she sadly replied that Asuna was locked downby complicated codes that required a system console to remove. Suddenly, Kirito turned around as he had sensed something, but the space in the cage distorted into a black space and Yui told them to be careful as something bad was approaching before she disappeared. Kirito and Asuna were forced onto the floor, where they could not move. The so-called Fairy King Oberon then appeared, whom Kirito easily recognized as Nobuyuki. Oberon then kicked Kirito to the ground and stated they were being restrained by gravity magic that would be implemented in the next patch, though Oberon defined it to be somewhat overpowered. Oberon then revealed to Kirito his true intentions behind the game: ALfheim Online was a testing ground for developing technology for controlling human thoughts and

emotions. As Kirito and Asuna swore that they would bring down Oberon, the madman stated that they could not stop him for he was a god in ALO.
Asuna chained by Oberon.
Oberon then summoned a pair of chains and attached them to Asuna, after which she was lifted by the chains and left standing only on her toes. Oberon then taunted both of them, stating how NPC women could not replicate such a scared face and then sniffed Asuna's hair and told them how hard it was to replicate her scent from the real world. Kirito ordered Oberon to stop while trying to stand up, but Oberon kicked him and stabbed him with his sword. Shortly afterwards, Oberon used a system command to reduce the Pain Absorption level from10 to 8 to make Kirito start feeling pain from being stabbed. He also said that he would gradually decrease the level and at level 3 or lower, it would affect his physical body in the real world.
Oberon then returned to Asuna and forcefully pulled off her top, then taunted them even more by stating he planned to molest her body in the real world while watching a recording of him doing it in ALfheim, and began to lick her face. Kirito cursed Oberon and swore he would kill him. Feeling helpless, Kirito mourned whether that was his punishment for thinking that he was the strongest game player and for believing that he had the ability to overcome the system.

As part of the exercises, imagery from military satellites orbiting above the Korean peninsula is attimes used to peer deep into North Korea, said a former South Korean government official who declined to be identified.
The US has about 28,000 troops in South Korea. Many of them will be joining thousands of South Korean forces in the exercises.
Other South Korean allies are also joining this year with with troops from Australia, the UK, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, the Netherlands andNew Zealand taking part.

Known as Ulchi Freedom Guardian, the joint drills have their roots in a 1968 raid on South Korea's Blue House presidential complex, when a North Korean army unit secretly entered South Korea and unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate the then president, Park Chung-hee.

signals that are startlingly alike. On Eibl-Eibesfeldt's screen flickered identical flirtation messages: a female smiling at a male, then arching her brows to make her eyes wide, quickly lowering her lids and, tucking her chin slightly down and coyly to the side, averting her gaze, followed within seconds, almost on cue, by putting her hands on or near her mouth and giggling.
Regardless of language, socioeconomic status or religious upbringing, couples who continued flirting placed a palm up on the table or knees, reassuring the prospective partner of harmlessness. They shrugged their shoulders, signifying helplessness. Women exaggeratedly extended their neck, a sign of vulnerability and submissiveness.
For Eibl-Eibesfeldt, these gestures represented primal behaviors driven by the old parts of our brain's evolutionary . A woman presenting her extended neck toa man she wants is not much different, his work suggested, than a gray female wolf's submissiveness to a dominant male she's after.
Since then, researchers have turned up the intensity, looking, for example, at compressed bouts of flirting and courtship in their natural habitat-hotel bars and cocktail lounges. From observations at a Hyatt hotel cocktail lounge, researchers documented a set of signals that whisks a just-met man and woman from barroom to bedroom. Her giggles and soft laughs were followed by hair twirling and head-tossing; he countered with body arching, leaning back in the chair and placing his arms behind head, not unlike a pigeon puffing his chest.
If all went well, a couple would invariably progress from touching themselves to touching each other. The first tentative contacts could

¶4. Hopkins was transported to the hospital to be treated for his injuries. Sergeant Williamson followed
Hopkins thirty minutes later, ostensibly to complete his accident report, and asked Hopkins again whether
he was driving the red pickup and who else was in the car. Hopkins again admitted he was driving the
pickup at the time of the wreck and made no mention of other passengers in the truck. At this time, it is
apparent the Sergeant Williamson knew that Canups had died from her injuries and state law required him
to obtain a blood sample from Hopkins. Therefore, Sergeant Williamson asked the hospital's lab technician
to draw Hopkins's blood with a standard blood collection kit which he later forwarded to the Mississippi
Crime Lab. Williamson testified that at no timewas Hopkins under arrest. Hopkins was not informed of his
Miranda rights either at the scene of the wreck or at the hospital.
¶5. This case has been tried four times. The first time, the trial judge declared a mistrial after Hopkins was
brought before the jury wearing shackles. The second and third times, the jury could not reach a unanimous
verdict and the judge again declared a mistrial. Lee Snipes, formerly incarcerated with Hopkins, testified in
the third trial that Hopkins had told him that he was driving the pickup when the wreck happened. Snipes's
testimony was read into the record after he could not be subpoenaed for the fourth trial. The State also
introduced the medical records generated when Hopkins was treated at the hospital after the wreck as
rebuttal to Hopkins's testimony. These

for selling drugs. He initially denies it but then admits he was selling HCG to Nolan. He also inflicted the arm-twisting injury three months prior because Nolan owed him money. He did not kill Nolan, however, and puts Booth on the trail of a Mr. Robertson, who had bought Nolan's sperm off craigslist and was upset because his wife didn't get pregnant. Interestingly, it was Franco of the sperm bank who told the Robertsons about Nolan, which leads Booth to suspect Franco isn't being entirely forthcoming about her relationship with Nolan.
The Jeffersonian staff still needs to find cause of death, however. Blunt trauma all appears to have been caused perimortem, when the body was thrown down the hill from the rest stop to the stream. Cut marks onand the location of the wounds - suggesting Nolan defensively covered his pelvis while being attacked - Sweets thinks the killer was a woman.
Booth calls Franco back in for questioning, and Brennan notices from her physical attributes that she is pregnant. Franco admits to being pregnant with Nolan's son. After speaking again with Nolan's girlfriend, who says that Nolan never wanted kids, they talk to Franco one last time. Brennan has also found a piece of fingernail embedded in Nolan's left infraorbital margin , and Booth has a warrant to get a DNA sample from Franco. But they get her to admit that she killed Nolan; he laughed at her when she revealed she was pregnant with his child, and she snapped.

Nautical art began in earnest as an art form at the dawn of this country as portraits- not of the sailors but of their vessels.
Created by portrait artists who turned from people to profiles of ships, the paintings were commissioned by captains, owners and shipbuilders interested in documenting their vessels.
Historically, nautical art has been about boats on the water. Early maritime painters focused on capturing a good likeness of the vessels but tended to miss the finer elements of the natural environment.seek expert advice regarding any insolvency issues.

In general, a power steering system for an automotive vehicle comprises a servomotor which is controlled by the steering wheel for turning the dirigible wheels. Hydraulic servomotors are conventionally used and it is also known to utilize an electric servomotor.
In conventional vehicle steering systems, it is desirable for the dirigible wheels of the vehicle to automatically return to the straight ahead position after the driver has executed a turn and releases the steering wheel. In the conventional system, this is realized as the result of the geometry of the steering system. In particular, with the vehicle moving forward and the front wheels turned, the road forces acting on the front wheels tend to turn the front wheels back to the straight ahead position. This restoring force which originatesfrom the reaction of the front wheels with the road surface, is transmitted through the steering linkage to the steering gear. Rotation of the steering gear to the straight ahead position is effective to drive the steering shaft and steering wheel to the straight ahead position. It also tends to drive the servomotor to the straight ahead position. In the case of a hydraulic servomotor the drag forces are compensated by changing the steering geometry to increase the restoring force. If an electric stepping motor is to be used, the resisting force due to inertia and friction in the motor may be substantial in relation to the restoring force. To minimize the cost and weight of the stepping motor it is desirable to use a large gear reduction

connecting bar, known as the conductor bar. In addition to this basic type of series terminals, there are many different types of series terminals that are especially adapted to the particular applications. Examples of the different types are two-tier or three-tier terminals and three-wire or four-wire terminals, which then each have a correspondingly larger number of conductor terminal elements.
In addition, there are also electrical series terminals in which at least one conductor terminal element is replaced by a receptacle. In that case, a connector having a corresponding plug-in contact can be plugged onto this receptacle. The conductor terminal element for connecting the electrical conductor is located in the housing of the connector.
Such an electrical series terminal is known from German Utility Model DE 295 14 711 U1. Inthis disclosure, the base terminal is generally locked onto a mounting rail so that the base terminal represents the stationary part of the electrical series terminal. Conversely, the connector forms the movable part of the electrical series terminal, since it can be easily plugged onto and pulled off of the corresponding receptacles of the base terminal by means of its plug-in contact. While the electrical supply lines are connected to the base terminal or to the conductor terminal elements located in the base terminal, the electric lines of the individual consumers are connected to the conductor terminal elements in the connector.
Since electrical series terminals are generally made disk-shaped, they are assembled generally with several other electrical series terminals to form a terminal block. In these known electrical series

this, the pretensioned tension spring is opened with an actuating tool, for example a screw driver, so that the conductor can be inserted through a window in the spring leg of the tension spring into the terminal space. After removing the actuating tool, the conductor is pulled by the spring force of the tension spring against the conductor bar.
Both in the screw terminal and in the tension spring terminal, the electrical conductor must first be stripped after it is cut to length before the electrical conductor can make contact. Since a special tool is necessary for stripping the electrical conductor, and since stripping is relatively time-consuming, for many years electrical terminals have also been used to which electrical conductors can be connected without prior stripping. To do this,the insulated conductor is inserted into a conductor receiver in the housing of the terminal and then pressed into an insulation piercing element, by which the insulation of the conductor is cut through and contact is made with the core of the conductor by the insulation piercing elements.
For reliable mechanical connection of connectors and the base terminal, in the electrical series terminal known from German Utility Model DE 295 14 711 U1, there is a fixing element that is fixed to the front of the connector and extends behind the housing projection on the front of the base terminal. In known electrical series terminals, the base terminal has two receptacles, but the connector can only be plugged into the outer of the two receptacles, since otherwise the connector

a member of the Civil Air Patrol in September 1963.
For the purpose of the test, a simulated wreck had been placed upon the Leonard Sisel farm ½ mile east and 2 miles north from Bee, Nebraska. Participation was *841 entirely voluntary. The aircraft, an Aeronca L-16, was a tandem-seated plane with dual controls, that is to say the plane could be operated from either of the two seat positions. In the investigation which followed the crash, it was determined that both controls were installed and operating.
The Civil Air Patrol form shows Eyre as the pilot in command and Mitchell as the observer. While Eyre was the pilot at take-off, one of plaintiff's witnesses, a lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol, testified that insofar as the Civil AirPatrol is concerned, it is possible for the observer, if he is a licensed pilot, to be flying the aircraft at any given time. He has done so as an observer.
The crash occurred at the edge of a milo field in terrain which was described as level, rolling, and farm ground. The site was an open or noncongested area. The weather was clear, with unlimited ceiling and visibility of more than 15 miles. The wind at the time of the crash was from 340 degrees, with a velocity of 14 knots and gusts to 22 knots. The temperature was 57 degrees Fahrenheit. The estimated time of departure on the mission was approximately 9:45 a. m. The time of the crash is estimated at approximately 11 o'clock a. m.

it flew west of a building which he described as a barn which blocked his view.
*842 No purpose will be served by reviewing the expert testimony or the technical data received in evidence. None of the eyewitnesses could testify as to who was piloting the aircraft at the time of the crash.
At the close of the plaintiff's case, the defendant moved for a directed verdict. Included among the reasons assigned was the fact that the evidence failed to show Michael Eyre was piloting the aircraft at the time of the accident. It was a dual control aircraft which could be operated from either seat, and there is no proof in the record as to which one of the decedents was actually flying it at the time of theand third party had access to the airplane's dual controls. The court reversed a jury verdict for the plaintiff against the owner, holding that a demurrer to plaintiff's evidence should have been sustained. There, the owner of the plane was at the controls at the time of take-off, and the plane could not have been taken off from the right-hand position occupied by the third party. The position of the two parties did not change during the course of the flight. There was also evidence that the owner had flown the plane in a reckless manner on other occasions. The court held, giving the plaintiff's evidence the benefit of every inference to which it may be entitled, still any answer to the question as to who was actually

Montelongo and Orosco returned to Ranchlands Shopping Center in the Chevrolet, although they were supposed to have returned in the loaded van. Meeting the detectives, Montelongo informed them that Orosco's people were in the process of loading the van and were to call at the bar in the shopping center when ready to deliver. Detective Bain accompanied Montelongo and Orosco into the bar to wait; detective Beasley remained outside in the government automobile.
11
The rented van was driven to Fat Albert's Discotheque. Appellant Rodarte, driving a bronze Ford automobile with a white top, appeared there at 10:06 p. m. and the two men from the van approached the Ford and talked to the three men in it. After a brief conversation, the menreturned to the van and both vehicles were driven to the parking lot for Tommy's Bar. There the rented van was parked next to the Ford which had arrived first, although these were the only vehicles in that area of the parking lot. The two people from the van got out and entered the Ford, and the Ford was driven out of the parking lot and was lost in traffic by surveillance units.
12
Shortly thereafter, the bronze Ford returned to the parking lot at Tommy's Bar. Two men got out of the Ford and into the van, and then followed the Ford, being driven by appellant Rodarte, to a residence at 7159 Dale Road; there, the van was driven into a fenced area behind the house.

The Ford was parked at the curb, and appellant Rodarte remained in it after opening the door and speaking to someone across the street.
13
Behind the residence, two or three people appeared to be loading something into the back of the van. They closed the van doors, and the van was driven out of the fenced area and back to the parking lot at Tommy's Bar, followed by the bronze Ford still being driven by Rodarte. Once there, the occupants left both the Ford and the van and entered the bar. At 10:59 p. m., several people walked out of the bar; three got into the Ford appellant Rodarte, his brother and coconspirator Victor Manuel Montes, while the others got into the van. Surveillanceofficers followed the Ford, again being driven by appellant Rodarte, and the van as they returned to the apartment complex at 5133 Trowbridge where the men in the van met with someone who emerged from apartment # 8. Rodarte remained in the Ford parked across the street. After a short conversation, the van was backed into the alley and up to the rear of apartment # 8. Then the men began unloading packages of what was later determined to be marijuana from the van.
14
In the interim, at the bar in the Ranchlands Shopping Center, Orosco had left Montelongo to wait with detective Bain. At 10:55 p. m., four minutes before Rodarte left Tommy's Bar, Montelongo received a telephone call. Leaving with Bain and

detective Beasley in Bain's car, Montelongo directed them to a service station on Trowbridge, one block away from the apartment complex where appellant Rodarte and the van were. Montelongo and the detectives were to wait at the station for the delivery of the loaded van, and if Bain was satisfied with the delivered contraband, he was then to pay the $31,000.00.
15
At the apartment, the signal for the arrest was given, and as the officers approached the men unloading the van, they ran into the apartment. They were pursued through the apartment; Orosco and Espinoza were apprehended in the bedroom where Orosco was trying to break a pane out of the window. Bautista was caught right outside the front door; but three suspects escaped. Theofficers seized 83 kilos of marijuana that were still in the van, one kilo brick located on an open shelf in the kitchen of the apartment, and forty-two kilos found in one bedroom.
16
Montelongo was arrested at the service station where he waited for the delivery of the van. Appellant Rodarte and his companions were arrested while still in the bronze Ford with the engine running. When Rodarte refused to get out of the car, the officers pulled him out, finding a loaded pistol on the floor board in front of where Rodarte had been sitting.

mean convincing India and Indonesia to be more flexible on their bargaining positions. The three large Asean countries might also try to reinvigorate their FTA talks with the EU. Strengthening the AEC in the post-2015 era will also become more important, particularly as market access issues in these three countries have presented the most serious challenges for the AEC.
The three countries may even think about trying to join the TPP, now that the exact contours of the agreement are known. Given the strong domestic interests lined up against further trade and investment liberalisation, that may prove difficult, particularly in Indonesia. The domestic political situation in Thailand may also be an obstacle, as some in the US may want to use the TPP as a carrot to entice theThai military regime to withdraw in favour of civilian rule again. The Philippines might bite the bullet and make the effort to join TPP as part of the price of getting further US support for its South China Sea/West Philippine Sea dispute.
The TPP still has several ratification hurdles to clear, particularly in the United States, Canada, Japan and possibly Malaysia. I do think given the intense political commitments made by the TPP partners, TPP will get through. It is a game-changer, establishing the rules for competition in the Asia-Pacific region and demonstrating that the US commitment to the region extends beyond security matters. It will also force Asean members to up their game, both those who are in the TPP already and those who on the outside looking

of the agreement, the scope of the implied obligations, or the many other legal incidents which have now become so important but which, in fact, never passed through the actors' minds in this little homely transaction to pull cotton bolls.

Bramlett was a small cotton planter. About three years before November 1956, Mrs. Hulsey had picked cotton for him, then apparently on his own place, a half mile and in walking distance from the Hulsey's home. On a Saturday in November 1956, Mr. Hulsey, on seeing Bramlett in town, casually inquired whether Bramlett would be picking cotton since his wife, Mrs. Hulsey, would like to pick some for him. Nothing definite was said, but each must have thought that a bargain had been made for Bramlettto the Monday morning, when Bramlett arrived at her house, Mrs. Hulsey said she would like to pull cotton, but would have to fix her lunch first. Bramlett, with several others then in the truck, waited some fifteen minutes until Mrs. Hulsey fixed her lunch at which time she also got on the truck. Again nothing was said about transportation and especially about transportation back that evening. It is uncertain whether Bramlett, at that time, advised any of them where the cotton was to be picked, although it is undisputed that the truck took them to the Moore place some four miles away where Bramlett had a small tract under lease.

At the Moore place they pulled bolls, quit temporarily for lunch, resumed work, and then

the truck might turn over when he put it in motion. Consequently he 'asked' or 'suggested' or 'told' several of the women including Mrs. Hulsey to stand on the right running board. As the truck started ahead and came up on the roadway, Mrs. Hulsey either fell from or was thrown off the running board causing rather substantial injuries. While some words of Mrs. Hulsey expressly stated that in getting on the running board she was doing so to ride home, the jury was certainly justified, from Bramlett's testimony, in drawing the inference that this was preparatory to the homeward trip since the truck was headed in the wrong direction. He had first to get the truck out of the ditch, and then proceedas a convenience to some or all of the pickers? On the other side, did Bramlett intend to imply that he would supply transportation as a part of the contract and for which he would be liable by way of added compensation or reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses if, for example, he had failed to supply it? Or was this a neighborly voluntary gesture which he could easily afford to do since he had to get his truck to the field to haul the cotton back and would have to inform the pickers where the field was located?

We may assume that the jury could have inferred that transportation was to be furnished as a part of the contract and had it done so, the finding would have

legacy left by Ken'ichi Matsuyama in the earlier movies. He feels excited about filming and notes that every day the cast are directed in exceeding the standard of the day before.
This new Death Note story, he feels, contains the central message that human beings are weak and foolish creatures.
Masaki equally remembers when he was in the audience watching earlier Death Note live-action films. That makes it all the more thrilling to be starring in one now.
He sees in his own legacy a hint of Mello and Near in the original manga, insofar as his cyber-terrorist Kira worshipper character Yūgi Shion - plus the parts played by the other two - represent the successors, heirs or children of Light and L. This is the movie equivalent of a Deathbehalf of Warner Bros.
Death Note starts filming in Spring 2016.
Therefore nothing that we didn't already know, but this time we know it with a touch more certainty.
Preview of Nat Wolff as Light Yagami in the live action Death Note US film
Fans have taken to Twitter to accuse director Adam Wingard of white-washing his movie. 'White-washing' is the phenomenon whereby ethnically diverse characters are uniformly played by white American actors.
Hence such bizarre anomalies as Jake Gyllenhaal playing the eponymous royal in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, despite the Persian prince patently being, well Persian. Or Johnny Depp cast as First Native Tonto in Lone Ranger.
Or Nat Wolff as the Japanese Light Yagami.
But some Death Note fans haven't taken that lying down. If silence means approval, then Adam Wingard

if Malik beat Fitzpatrick, or even just dragged him to the right. While Romney and Trump each carried this suburban Philadelphia seat by very narrow margins, both Fitzpatricks ran far ahead of the top of the ticket in each race. So far, the only noteworthy Democrat who has stepped up to run is Navy veteran and JAG attorney Rachel Reddick.
● PA-11: This week, Republican businessman Andrew Lewis and Democrat Dennis Wolff, a dairy farmer who served as the state's agriculture secretary from 2003 to 2009, each announced that they would seek this open Wyoming Valley-based seat. Lewis, who is the chief operating officer of his family's drywall business, has run for office once before, losing a 2016 primary to now-state Sen. John DiSanto 51-49. Lewis joins former stateRevenue Secretary Dan Meuser and state Rep. Stephen Bloom in the GOP primary for this 60-36 Trump seat.
State Republicans drew this seat to be safe for their party, and Democrats haven't had much luck here in other races. Still, Wolff may have the connections and profile to run a credible race in this sprawling rural district.
● PA-18: On Thursday, Westmoreland County Commissioner Gina Cerilli announced that she would seek the Democratic nod in the not-yet-scheduled special election to succeed soon-to-be-ex. GOP Rep. Tim Murphy. This Western Pennsylvania seat backed Trump 58-39 and it's going to be a very tough lift for Team Blue, but local Democrats still win down-ballot races in this area. Notably, Cerilli's 2015 win gave Democrats the majority on the County Commission, even though Westmoreland

2011 Desert Classic - Concours d'Elegance
Paul and Holly Merrigan, founders of the Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance, presented the 4th issue of this first major car event, on Sunday, 02/27/2011.The first event of the year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Indy 500.
The show took place at the La Quinta Resort and Club, a majestic set surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains.This year the Desert Classic, besides the historic Indy cars, presented a showcasing of rarely-seen extraordinary and classic automobiles.We were pleased to look and enjoy those rolling examples of creativity which have been created in the last on hundred years.
An gathering of an outstanding class of Indianapolis cars dating from the pre-World War I era to modern times were displayed.
The most revered historic artifacton the field was Ann Bothwell's 1914 Peugeot L45. This car features a 4.5 liter, four cylinder engine that has an early version of a head with dual overhead crankshafts, and hemisferical combustion chambers, an architecture that has endured in high performance cars up to this day. It began life on the European Grand Prix circuit, and came to America, when the World War I temporarily ended racing in Europe. Alphonse Kaufman, the Peugeot importer who brought the car here, also engaged Dario Resta, an Italian-born driver who was raised in England. Using the Bothwell car, Resta finished second at the 1915 Indianapolis 500, and won the event in 1916. He also won the U.S. National Championship in 1916.

Sask. fisherman defies odds to capture weekend walleye tournament
Luck came in pairs for a Saskatchewan man who netted two whopping walleye over two days to win two major prizes in a fishing tournament. Ronald Highway of Pelican Narrows was participating in the Senator Pierre Settee Memorial Heaviest Walleye Derby in Cumberland House.school, and organized an orchestra and a choir. He also allowed the prisoners to form their own police force under the command of prison officials, and he settled disputes with public trials in which the convicts participated. As symbolic gestures, he allowed the prisoners to dress in civilian clothing and permitted crosses and tombstones on the graves of deceased prisoners.
During Maconochie's tenure, the colony on Norfolk Island became safe and free of violence. However, these progressive reforms incited a firestorm of indignation and anger in both Australia and England when the news reached his superiors. The biggest controversy was caused by reports that Maconochie had allowed the prisoners to participate in a celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday in May 1840. He had served drams of severely diluted rum

Mexico will also receive conveyance loss credits totaling 154,846 acre-feet. These do not in any way represent nor should they be interpreted as a forgiveness of any portion of the debt. The fact remains, the debt is being paid in full. Once the water from Mexico enters the Rio Grande and is assigned to the United States, the U.S. is charged for conveyance and evaporative losses as water travels downstream and while it remains in storage. These credits are typical accounting procedures required under the treaty and inescapable.
The 717,000 acre-feet of water owed to Texas from Mexico as of October 2004, has been reduced by more than 422,000 acre-feet, leaving a debt of approximately 295,000.
An additional transfer by Mexico to the U.S. ownership of 145,928acre-feet from the Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs will take place by September.
Under this agreement Texas will also utilize up to 149,981 acre-feet of water at Anzalduas dam near Mission, Texas. The United States began using this water on Saturday, March 12, at a rate of approximately 1,221 acre-feet per day.

is expected to pen a new four-year Chelsea contract this summer before being loaned out, is now likely to end up at Stoke City with Mark Hughes.
With just four senior defenders at the club, Baggies boss Tony Pulis is desperately searching for a central defender this summer.
His primary target was Ben Gibson but Middlesbrough have told Albion the 24-year-old England international is not for sale, even though the player himself is keen to play in the Premier League.
Advertising
Pulis is also looking for a central midfielder, and yesterday, he handed a trial to 25-year-old free agent Jason Lowe in Albion's first pre-season game of the summer.
Lowe, who flew himself out to Austria late last week to join up with the Baggies, played right-back in the second half of the2-1 defeat to Czech champions Slavia Prague at the Kumberg Stadium.
Pulis will now speak to the rest of his coaching staff before deciding whether to take Lowe to Hong Kong this Saturday ahead of the Premier League Asia Trophy.
A former captain of England under-20s, Lowe spent his whole career at Blackburn Rovers until the end of last season.
He was captain, but was one of eight players released by Rovers following relegation from the Championship.

them inside the 10. Scifres also punted for a playoff record 51.7 net average, including a game-changing 67 yard punt that pinned the Colts at their own five-yard line.
Scifre's biggest punt, however, came with the Chargers trailing 17-14, with three minutes left on the clock. From his own 46, Scifres drilled a punt landed on the one-yard line and promptly bounced out of bounds, pinning Peyton Manning and the potent Colts offense into a hole of which they never climbed out of.
It was not the big-name superstars that one might expect when looking on paper that won the game for the Chargers, it was, however, a diminutive running back with the heart the size of San Diego County, feet as fast as lightning, and perhaps the greatest puntingcoupling member. The anchor member forms the attachment with the target vessel wall. The coupling member separately forms the attachment with the bypass graft vessel. The complete anastomosis is created when the coupling member, with the graft vessel attached, is inserted into the anchor member. In a second preferred configuration of the invention, the anastomosis staple device combines the functions of the anchor member and the coupling member into a single member. A one-piece anastomosis staple device attaches to both the target vessel wall and the graft vessel to form a complete end-to-side anastomosis. In all embodiments of the anastomosis staple device, certain desirable aspects are maintained, specifically the atraumatic attachment of the device to the graft vessel and the rapid, reliable formation of the anastomosis, as well

as the adaptability of the staple device to port-access CABG surgery.
A second aspect of the present invention takes the form of an anastomotic fitting for attaching the end of a graft vessel to an opening formed in the side wall of a target vessel. The anastomotic fitting has an inner flange which provides an atraumatic attachment for the everted end of a graft vessel. The inner flange is configured so that, wherever possible, a smooth, continuous, uninterrupted layer of intimal tissue lines the graft vessel, the target vessel and the anastomotic site, with as little foreign material as possible exposed to the blood flow path. The outer flange contacts the exterior surface of the target vessel. A locking means, which may be part of the outer flange, locksthe outer flange in a fixed position relative to the inner flange. The inner flange, in combination with the outer flange, provides a firm attachment to the target vessel wall. A tailored amount of compression applied by the inner and outer flanges grips the target vessel wall and creates a leak-proof seal between the graft vessel and the target vessel. Optionally, attachment spikes on the surfaces of either the inner or the outer flange provide additional grip on the graft vessel and/or the target vessel. The attachment spikes are isolated from the blood flow lumens of the graft vessel and the target vessel so that they do not compromise the anastomotic seal or the structural integrity of the anastomotic attachment.
In a first representative embodiment, the anastomotic fitting is

inner sleeve until it contacts the exterior wall of the target vessel. A tailored amount of compression is applied to the anastomosis and the locking mechanism is engaged to complete the anastomosis.
A second representative embodiment of the anastomotic fitting has an expanding inner flange which facilitates the atraumatic attachment of the graft vessel to the fitting and makes it easier to pass the inner flange and the everted graft vessel through the opening in the target vessel wall. The graft vessel is passed through an internal lumen of an inner sleeve which has the expandable inner flange attached at its distal end. The end of the graft vessel is everted over the unexpanded inner flange. The inner flange and the everted end of the graft vessel are passedthrough the opening in the target vessel wall. Once the inner flange of the fitting is in the lumen of the target vessel, it is expanded to a diameter which is significantly larger than the opening in the target vessel wall. Then an outer flange is applied and locked into a selected position on the inner sleeve as described above to complete the anastomosis.
Different mechanisms are disclosed to accomplish the expansion of the inner flange. In a first variant of the expanding inner flange, the flange and a portion of the inner sleeve are slotted to create multiple fingers which are initially collapsed inward toward the center of the sleeve. A second inner sleeve is slidably received within the slotted inner sleeve. The graft vessel is inserted through

the internal lumen of both sleeves and everted over the collapsed fingers of the flange. The collapsed flange is inserted through the opening in the target vessel. Then, the second inner sleeve is slid distally within the slotted inner sleeve. The second inner sleeve forces the fingers outward, expanding the flange within the target vessel. The anastomosis is completed by applying the outer flange to the fitting as described above.
A second variant of the expanding inner flange has a slotted inner sleeve with multiple fingers that are oriented essentially longitudinally to the inner sleeve. Each of the fingers has a bend in it to predispose it to bend outward at the middle when under longitudinal compression. A tubular forming tool slidably received within the slotted sleeve is crenellatedwith multiple radially extending tabs. The radially extending tabs engage the distal ends of the fingers of the slotted inner sleeve. The anastomosis is performed by passing the graft vessel through the internal lumen of the fitting and everting it over the fingers. If desired, a loop of suture can be used to hold the everted vessel in place. The fingers of the fitting and the everted end of the graft vessel are inserted through an opening in the target vessel wall. When the tubular forming tool is slid proximally with respect to the slotted inner sleeve, the radially extending tabs bear against the distal ends of the fingers, compressing them longitudinally. The fingers bow outward, folding at the bend to expand and create an inner flange which

deformable outer flange. The anastomosis is performed by passing the graft vessel through the internal lumen of the inner sleeve and everting it over the inner flange. The inner flange and the everted end of the graft vessel are inserted through an opening in the wall of the target vessel. Then, the outer flange is deformed against the exterior surface of the target vessel wall with a tailored degree of tissue compression to complete the anastomosis. Two variants of the deformable outer flange are disclosed. The first variant has an outer flange that is divided into flange segments. The flange segments are attached to the inner sleeve by deformable hinges. The second variant has an outer flange in the form of a deformable hollow body. The hollow bodythe form of an anastomosis device which has a ring or flange to which the graft vessel attaches, typically by everting the graft vessel over the distal end of the ring. The ring or flange resides on the exterior of the graft vessel so that it does not contact the blood flow path. A plurality of staple-like members attach the ring and the everted end of the graft vessel to the wall of the target vessel, which may be the aorta, a coronary artery or other vessel. An opening is created in the target vessel wall with an aortic punch or similar instrument to allow the target vessel lumen to communicate with the graft vessel lumen. The opening in the target vessel wall can be made before or

in the indictment. The cross examination was confined to the same subject. At the close of the cross examination the witness stated that he had been asked by a special examiner of pensions, who was investigating the matter, what he knew about the consideration of the check in question. The witness further said that A.W. Ballew came and asked him if he had been interviewed by the examiner, to which inquiry of Ballew the witness stated he had answered yes, and had informed Ballew that the examiner had questioned him about the eighteen hundred dollar check, and that he told him that he thought the check had been given for a house and lot. The witness next stated that Mr. Ballew then told him that the pensioner hadby the district attorney to proof of Ballew's declarations, the objection was sustained and the testimony excluded from the consideration of the jury.
The ground upon which counsel for plaintiff in error rests his claim of admissibility is that when a confession is put in evidence by the prosecution, it is the right of the accused to demand that all of the conversation in which the alleged confession was made should be received. We are unable to reach the conclusion that Ballew's mere statement to a witness, that the pensioner had given his son the check, was a confession, or in the nature of a confession. It had no tendency to establish his guilt or to operate to his prejudice, and confessions are only admitted as being statements against
