the donations of the people he had 'cured'. He was also known to make money in the gypsy art of Fortune Telling and the Tarot. During the early 20th Century, Astrology and the Occult were increasingly popular with the upper classes. In Paris, mystics and psychics were doing an incredible trade and the 'bourgeoisie' in Russia soon followed suit.
Rasputin was an unkempt, but imposing figure. Tall with a dark beard and spellbinding eyes, he used his natural charisma and deep quiet voice in an almost vaudeville manner when presenting himself. He soon took his 'show' to St Petersburg and made a name for himself as something of a mystic. It wasn't long before he caught the eye of more powerful people amongst the Russian aristocracy.
Rasputin and the Romanovs
Whilein St Petersburg, Rasputin met the Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra. Their only son, Alexei, suffered from haemophilia. Physicians were unable to help Alexei, and the Tsarina became frustrated. During a particularly bad bleeding episode the Tsar, looking for something of a miracle, called upon his wife's newfound friend and supposed 'faith healer', Rasputin. Somehow Rasputin managed to stop Alexei's bleeding; as a result, he became a hero to the Romanov family and started moving in the Tsarina's social circles. He was said to have great influence over Alexandra and supposedly manipulated her. This relationship led to resentment on the part of the Tsarina's husband Nicholas and his powerful and influential peers in the Russian nobility, but the Tsar was afraid to send Rasputin away for

impatient, one of the assassins took a pistol and shot him. The murderers, under the impression he was dead, went to celebrate. About an hour later, Prince Felix returned to see the body. He shook Rasputin, and while he was still warm, there were no signs of life. As Felix went to leave, however, Rasputin rose to his feet and went about strangling the prince. Freeing himself, Felix rushed to tell the others that the mad monk was still alive.
Rasputin ran across the courtyard, yelling 'Felix, Felix, I'll tell everything to the Tsarina.' A conspirator shot him in the back and again in the head. Rasputin crawled on the ground, and his assailant struck him with a blow to the head. By this time, Felix, thoroughly shaken, tooka dumbbell and bludgeoned Rasputin. They then bound him and threw him into the Neva River. There he would remain for three days until the Tsar returned and Rasputin's body was taken from under the ice. The Tsar was outraged and exiled Prince Felix and the conspirators, but it was to be one of his last actions as ruler of Russia. The Bolsheviks were becoming a powerful force and the Revolution was approaching. The state of Russia was about to change...
Rasputin's Legacy
Some say that the legend surrounding Rasputin and his death is fabricated and not an accurate description of the truth. Although his body was found to have multiple stabs and shots, there is still a certain doubt about the authenticity of the accounts. Conclusive evidence found water

invention is to minimise wear.
In a solenoid valve as mentioned in the introduction, this task is solved in that the armature is arranged in a housing, dividing it into two chambers, and that the armature has a movement stroke with several sections, one first section being in the form of an idle stroke, during which a connection between the two chambers is open and the position of the closure member in relation to the valve seat does not change, and a second section being in the form of an effective stroke, during which the connection between the two chambers is closed and the armature causes or permits a movement of the closure member.
Thus, a certain damping is obtained through the movement of the armature. In a solenoid valve,closure member has a tappet, which acts upon a separate closure element, the effective stroke being larger than the maximum opening movement of the closure element and the pressure in one of the two chambers acting upon the end of the tappet turning away from the closure element. With this embodiment, it is achieved that due to the pressure in the chamber, the tappet always bears on the closure element. This means that the tappet can no longer strike the closure element abruptly, which could cause an increased wear or even a damage to the tip of the tappet or of the closure element. When the closure element is separated from the tappet, that is, both are made as independent parts, there is an increased freedom with regard

to the selection of materials for both elements.
Preferably, a closing force device acts upon the closure element in the direction of the valve seat, and the armature acts against the closing force device. In the simplest case, the closing force device is made as a closing spring, which presses the closure element against the valve seat, if required; a tappet is inserted between them. The armature now reduces the force, with which the closure member is pressed against the valve seat. When the force gets smaller than force generated by the pressure of the fluid, which acts upon the closure member by way of the valve seat, the closure member is lifted from the valve seat and the valve opens. This means that the valve is closed whende-energized. In such a valve the closing movement appears through the force of the closing force device. However, this force can only act upon the closure element in a damped manner, as the closing requires a movement of the armature, which is damped by the fluid trapped in the chamber facing the closure element.
Preferably, the armature closes the connection. Thus, additional control elements are not required. The closing and the opening of the connections between the two chambers appear in the course of the movement of the armature at the correct instants.
It is particularly preferred that, the armature has a channel extending in the movement direction and having a narrow passage, which comes to rest on a movably supported sealing face at the end of the first section.

Blank, who had to watch as the team favored a support main and a rookie with zero pro experience over him for a majority of the season, hasn't been the same ever since, playing like all the confidence he once possessed has been drained from him.
Blank this season is a good microcosm of the team at large. There is no confidence in any of the team's moves, and when big plays happen, there is a sense of distress behind them, no rhyme or reason to the team's play.

structure thereon, such structure being formed during the formation of the enclosing member.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a compartment-enclosing member with pinch relief structure on a children's riding vehicle which is durable enough to withstand the oftentimes destructive way a child treats a toy.
The invention achieves these and other objects in the form of a children's riding vehicle having a compartment-enclosing member, e.g., a hood, door or the like, which includes pinch relief structure for preventing a child from pinching a finger when the enclosing member is closed. The structure includes an arm joined to the member adjacent an edge thereof being movable therewith when the member is opened and closed. A slot in the vehicle receives the arm and permits it toassembly. The head disc assembly includes a disc attached to a base with a spindle bearing, and a rotary actuator adjacent the disc. The actuator includes a read/write head for selectively magnetizing the disc. The mounting fixture provides a mechanical reference for the servo track writer as servo information is written to the head disc assembly. The servo track writer also includes a pusher block assembly mounted to the mounting fixture proximate the actuator of the head disc assembly. The pusher block assembly mechanically positions the actuator. The servo track writer also includes a position control system for controlling the position of the actuator. The position control system further includes a motor connected to the pusher block assembly, and a controller for outputting control signals to the motor

signals to the motor may synchronize to the spindle rotation frequency in addition to the spindle bearing cage frequency. The servo track writer may also have a sensor for monitoring the cage frequency of the spindle bearing of the head disc assembly. The servo track writer which synchs to both the spindle rotation frequency and the spindle bearing cage frequency may also have a sensor for monitoring the cage frequency of the spindle bearing of the head disc assembly. The controller selects the time to start servo writing in response to the cage frequency of the spindle bearing. The servo track writer further includes a detector for determining the position of the actuator and outputting control signals to the motor in order to adjust the position of thethe servo writer to synchronize movement of the actuator to the spindle bearing cage frequency. Determining a spindle bearing cage frequency further includes calculating the spindle bearing cage frequency. The linkage of the servo writer is moved to synchronize movement of the actuator to the spindle bearing cage frequency. This includes generating run out at the spindle bearing cage frequency, and calculating the phase of the spindle bearing cage frequency. The movement of the linkage of the servo writer may also include timing the initial movement of the linkage of the servo writer to start the servo write process based on the phase of the spindle bearing cage frequency. The timing is based on measuring the phase at the spindle cage frequency or upon predicting the phase at

Lincoln would have been a White Sox fan had Major League Baseball existed during his time. While it could have been possible to be a Cubs or Cardinals fan given his Springfield locale, I think The Railsplitter would have followed a team associated with the working class. But I'm sure he saw his fair share of Nationals and Potomacs games.
Though supplies were scarce during the war, and fence poles and rolled up rags were often used as bats and balls, baseball sustained the soldiers' morale, doing for them what the game still does for us today - give us momentary respite from the travails of our daily lives.
Tuesday, April 08, 2014
I was sixteen years old when I touched a real Major League baseball for the first time. Ofcourse, I had seen other baseballs, and I'd been playing softball since I was eight or so, but to hold a genuine Major League baseball was to hold something precious, something far more valuable than its price tag indicated. I had been given the beautiful sphere by a friend of my grandfather who owned a local sporting goods store; it was a gift to have signed because I had won a celebrity bat girl contest and was allowed on the field for Reds batting practice at Riverfront Stadium. The Reds also gave me a ball. Suddenly I had two of the beautiful things - one I had signed by Barry Larkin and the other I stored in a box to keep it in pristine condition.

that petitioner was represented either by appointed counsel or retained counsel at every critical stage of the proceedings. Our examination of the record reveals that petitioner appeared in division No. 1 of the Court of Common Pleas of Sedgwick County on October 6, 1959, at which time petitioner was apprised of the charges, an attorney was appointed to defend him, and his preliminary hearing was set for October 19, 1959. On this point the trial court further found, and the record so reflects, the preliminary hearing was continued until November 2, 1959, at which time petitioner appeared with his retained counsel, waived preliminary hearing, and was bound over for trial at the next term of the district court.
The record further discloses that petitioner appeared before the district courton March 7, 1960, with his retained counsel, waived arraignment, and entered his plea of guilty. The record shows that petitioner was not without counsel at any critical stage of his trial.
Petitioner claims that his constitutional rights were violated in obtaining his confession during extended interrogation without counsel and later in playing back a tape recording of his confession in the presence of petitioner, his counsel, and the presiding magistrate on the day of his preliminary hearing. The record discloses no objection was made to such procedure and further that such confession was never placed in evidence as petitioner entered a plea of guilty. The cases cited by petitioner all deal with confessions that were used as evidence in securing a conviction.

management structures. At the same time, capability packages were established to identify the assets available to and required by NATO military commanders.
These capability packages are a means to assess identified Alliance capabilities in terms of both capital investment and recurrent operating and maintenance costs as well as the civilian and military manpower required to accomplish the task.
The Board reviews these capability packages and endorses them from the point of view of their resource implications and eligibility for common funding prior to their approval by the North Atlantic Council.
Each year, the RPPB also recommends for approval by the Council a comprehensive Medium Term Resource Plan, which sets financial ceilings for the following year and planning figures for the four subsequent years. This five-year Medium Term Resource Plan sets theparameters within which the Budget and the Investment Committees oversee the preparation and execution of their respective budgets and plans.
The Board also produces an Annual Report, which allows the Council to monitor the adequacy of resource allocations in relation to requirements.
Working mechanisms
All NATO member countries are represented on this board, which is chaired by a national chairman selected on a rotational basis.
Besides national representatives, representatives of the International Military Staff, NATO Strategic Commanders, and Chairmen of the Budget Committee and Investment Committee also attend the Board's meetings.

existence. Is there hope for life after death-and maybe, for love?
Brace yourselves, Book Addicts, to cry and smile like never before with a book.
In the story we meet Emma, the main character, who's mother is brain dead but is kept alive to maintain the baby she was carrying when she collapsed alive. Before that she was a happy teenage girl, studious and falling in love with intelligent and petulant boys. Now she doesn't care anymore about the things that once were important and she is definitely full of anger. She's furious with her stepdad for keeping her dead mom half-alive, she's furious with the unborn baby for the risks her mother put herself on to have him or her in order to make Emma's stepfather happy and she'sasked what she wanted, what she thought her mother would like to do. He just made his decision right away. Plus she's an amazing main character. She's someone you can relate yourself and put yourself in her skin. It's really easy to understand her situation and you are unable to judge her.
Caleb is also what I like to call a lost soul. Her sister died when he was watching her and his parents blame him for what happened. And he also blames himself. He did a serious of bad choices and end up building that anger that Emma's so familiar with now.
It's really nice to read how two people surrounded by grief, guilt, anger and a world that seems to not understand them, find themselves and in the

OST would function as a distinct entity and not merely as part of the President's staff. The House Committee on Government Operations stated:25

Heretofore, the Congress has not been able to obtain adequate information on Government-wide science matters because the President's Special Assistant for Science has been unavailable for questioning by congressional committees due to his confidential relationship with the President. We express no opinion here on the merits of this reasoning but this committee's position on excessive invocation of executive privilege is well known. With the creation of the new office the Director will become available to Congress and provide us with more information than we now obtain.

A Congressman commenting on the plan emphasized the same point:26

With an Office established by the reorganization plan, andthe Foundation, it was delegating some of its own broad power of inquiry27 in order to improve the information on federal scientific programs available to the legislature. When the responsibility for program evaluation was transferred to the OST, both the executive branch and members of Congress contemplated that Congress would retain control over information on federal programs accumulated by the OST, despite any confidential relation between the Director of the OST and the President-a relation that might result in the use of such information as a basis for advice to the President.28 By virtue of its independent function of evaluating federal programs, the OST must be regarded as an agency subject to the APA and the Freedom of Information Act.

activity sometime this summer, the common forecast that a sustained recovery will begin in the second half of 2009 will almost certainly prove to be overly optimistic.Previous recessions were often characterized by excess inventory accumulation and overinvestment in business equipment. The economy could bounce back as those excesses were absorbed over time, making room for new investment. Those recoveries were also helped by interest rate reductions by the central bank.
This time, however, the fall in share prices and in home values has destroyed more than $12 trillion of household wealth in the United States, an amount equal to more than 75% of GDP. Previous reactions to declines in household wealth indicate that such a fall will cut consumer spending by about $500 billion every year until wealth ismixed bag of economic data.The Treasury Department and Federal... AIG is also seen splitting itself up to preserve healthy business units. The firm announced that it plans to form a general insurance holding company to be called ATU Holdings, which will combine its U.S. and foreign property-casualty insurance operations into a new unit. About 20.0% of the new company would be sold to the public. The government has been intent on preventing the collapse of another major financial institution after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September crippled the credit markets.

The phrase echoed what the central bank said on Jan. 20 when the benchmark rate was cut by half a point to 1 percent, the lowest since the central bank was created in 1934.
There are two types of global economic crisis: the ones that start on the periphery and worm their way inwards and those that erupt at the core and spread outwards. The first is more common, the second more dangerous. Throughout the 1990s and early years of this decade, there were plenty of scares in emerging markets. Mexico was the first country to see a run on its currency and provided the template for the Asian crisis of 1997, the Russian debt default of 1998 and the collapse of Argentina in late 2000.
As some of ussaid at the time, these emerging crises were warnings of trouble ahead. The global economy was akin to a middle-aged man getting pains in the chest. Despite being told by the doctor that he is eating, drinking and smoking too much, the man enjoys his life of excess and carries on regardless. In the end he suffers a massive heart attack. Failing to heed the warnings has resulted in the second sort of crisis - and from this there is no hiding place. That was certainly the case in 1929-32 - the only other occasion when economic trouble spread from core to periphery - and it is most certainly the experience of the emerging world today.
But nowhere has the impact of the global crisis been felt harder than

too, with warmer temperatures reducing soil moisture across China, the south-west US, Central America, most of South America and Australia.
All of the world's major deserts are predicted to expand, with the Sahara reaching right into central Europe. Glacial retreat will dry Europe's rivers from the Danube to the Rhine, with similar effects in mountainous regions including the Peruvian Andes, and the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, which as result will no longer supply water to Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Bhutan, India and Vietnam. Along with the exhaustion of aquifers, all this will lead to two latitudinal dry belts where human habitation will be impossible, say Syukuro Manabe of Tokyo University, Japan, and his colleagues. One will stretch across Central America, southern Europe and north Africa, south Asia and Japan; whileCanada, Siberia, Scandinavia and newly ice-free parts of Greenland; in the southern hemisphere, Patagonia, Tasmania and the far north of Australia, New Zealand and perhaps newly ice-free parts of the western Antarctic coast.
If we allow 20 square metres of space per person - more than double the minimum habitable space allowed per person under English planning regulations - 9 million people would need 18,000 square kilometres of land to live on. The area of Canada alone is 9.1 million square kilometres and, combined with all the other high-latitude areas, such as Alaska, Britain, Russia and Scandinavia, there should be plenty of room for everyone, even with the effects of sea-level rise.These precious lands with access to water would be valuable food-growing areas, as well as the last oases

the President, before entering upon the duties of his office, and before being entitled to its salary, or other emoluments. On the 24th of January, 1865, Congress, by a supplementary act, extended its provisions so as to embrace attorneys and counsellors of the courts of the United States. This latter act provides that after its passage no person shall be admitted as an attorney and counsellor to the bar of the Supreme Court, and, after the fourth of March, 1865, to the bar of any Circuit or District Court of the United States, or of the Court of Claims, or be allowed to appear and be heard by virtue of any previous admission, or any special power of attorney, *375 unless he shall have first taken and subscribedthe oath prescribed by the act of July 2d, 1862. It also provides that the oath shall be preserved among the files of the court; and if any person take it falsely he shall be guilty of perjury, and, upon conviction, shall be subject to the pains and penalties of that offence.
At the December Term, 1860, the petitioner was admitted as an attorney and counsellor of this court, and took and subscribed the oath then required. By the second rule, as it then existed, it was only requisite to the admission of attorneys and counsellors of this court, that they should have been such officers for the three previous years in the highest courts of the States to which they respectively belonged, and that their private and professional

character should appear to be fair.
In March, 1865, this rule was changed by the addition of a clause requiring the administration of the oath, in conformity with the act of Congress.
In May, 1861, the State of Arkansas, of which the petitioner was a citizen, passed an ordinance of secession, which purported to withdraw the State from the Union, and afterwards, in the same year, by another ordinance, attached herself to the so-called Confederate States, and by act of the congress of that confederacy was received as one of its members.
The petitioner followed the State, and was one of her representatives first in the lower house, and afterwards in the senate, of the congress of that confederacy, and was a member of the senate at the time ofthe surrender of the Confederate forces to the armies of the United States.
In July, 1865, he received from the President of the United States a full pardon for all offences committed by his participation, direct or implied, in the Rebellion. He now produces his pardon, and asks permission to continue to practise as an attorney and counsellor of the court without taking the oath required by the act of January 24th, 1865, and the rule of the court, which he is unable to take, by reason of the offices he held under the Confederate government. *376 He rests his application principally upon two grounds:
1st. That the act of January 24th, 1865, so far as it affects his status in the court, is unconstitutional and void; and,
2d. That, if
|
{
"pile_set_name": [

}
| 13,491,197
|
the act be constitutional, he is released from compliance with its provisions by the pardon of the President.
The oath prescribed by the act is as follows:
1st. That the deponent has never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since he has been a citizen thereof;
2d. That he has not voluntarily given aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto;
3d. That he has never sought, accepted, or attempted to exercise the functions of any office whatsoever, under any authority, or pretended authority, in hostility to the United States;
4th. That he has not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended government, authority, power, or constitution, within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto; and,
5th. That he will support and defend the Constitution of the United Statesagainst all enemies, foreign and domestic, and will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
This last clause is promissory only, and requires no consideration. The questions presented for our determination arise from the other clauses. These all relate to past acts. Some of these acts constituted, when they were committed, offences against the criminal laws of the country; others may, or may not, have been offences according to the circumstances under which they were committed, and the motives of the parties. The first clause covers one form of the crime of treason, and the deponent must declare that he has not been guilty of this crime, not only during the war of the Rebellion, but during any period of his life since he has been a citizen.

be so essential in a lawyer, it cannot be denied that the statute under consideration was eminently calculated to secure that result.
The majority of this court, however, do not base their decisions on the mere absence of authority in Congress, and in the States, to enact the laws which are the subject of consideration, but insist that the Constitution of the United States forbids, in prohibitory terms, the passage of such laws, both to the Congress and to the States. The provisions of that instrument, relied on to sustain this doctrine, are those which forbid Congress and the States, respectively, from passing bills of attainder and ex post facto laws. It is said that the act of Congress, and the provision of the constitution of the State ofin the act, and the attainder of the Earl of Kildare and his associates is referred to as showing that the act was aimed at a class. It is very true that bills of attainder have been passed against persons by some description, when their names were unknown. But in such cases the law leaves nothing to be done to render its operation effectual, but to identify those persons. Their guilt, its nature, and its punishment are fixed by the statue, and only their personal identity remains to be made out. Such was the case alluded to. The act declared the guilt and punishment of the Earl of Kildare, and all who were associated with him in his enterprise, and all that was required to insure their punishment

to appear in the court as an attorney is asked to take a certain oath. There is no charge made against him that he has been guilty of any of the crimes mentioned in that oath. There is no prosecution. There is not even an implication of guilt by reason of tendering him the oath, for it is required of the man who has lost everything in defence of the government, and whose loyalty is written in the honorable scars which cover his body, the same as of the guiltiest traitor in the land. His refusal to take the oath subjects him to no prosecution. His taking it clears him of no guilt, and acquits him of no charge.
Where, then, is this ex post facto law which triesinsanity heretofore deemed harmless, shall be found all at once to be dangerous to the lives of persons with whom they associate. The State, therefore, passes a law that all persons so affected shall be kept in close confinement until their recovery is assured. Here is a case of punishment in the sense used by the court for a matter existing before the passage of the law. Is it an ex post facto law? And, if not, in what does it differ from one? Just in the same manner that the act of Congress does, namely, that the proceeding is civil and not criminal, and that the imprisonment in the one case and the prohibition to practise law in the other, are not punishments in the legal meaning

The distinguished commentator on American law, and chancellor of the State of New York, was deprived of that office by this provision of the constitution of that State, and he was thus, in the midst of his usefulness, not only turned out of office, but he was forever disqualified from holding it again, by a law passed after he had accepted the office.
This is a much stronger case than that of a disloyal attorney forbid by law to practise in the courts, yet noone ever thought the law was ex post facto in the sense of the Constitution of the United States.
Illustrations of this kind could be multiplied indefinitely, but they are unnecessary.
The history of the time when this statute was passed the darkest hour of our great struggle the necessity for its existence, the humane character of the President who signed the bill, and the face of the law itself, all show that it was purely a qualification, exacted in self-defence, of all who took part in administering the government in any of its departments, and that it was not passed for the purpose of inflicting punishment, however merited, for past offences.
I think I have now shown that the statute in question is within the legislative power of

The Icelandic Economy: 2013 edition
18. jul 2013
The Icelandic economy has gone through drastic changes since October 2008 due to the collapse of its financial system. Some ambiguity still exists concerning the chain of events and general economic status of Iceland, mostly due to lack of external information flow.
Those topics have been covered in detail in former editions of this Status Report. This 16th edition of the Status Report, published in July 2013, gives a brief overview of these events, but its main focus is on the current economic, business and political landscape.
Despite substantial challenges over the past few years, the general economy is well functional and many Icelandic businesses remain strong. The Icelandic economy is based on reliable foundations and has strong growth opportunities going forward. The societyis dynamic and technology-driven with a young and well educated workforce. The country has the privilege of possessing abundant natural resources and its nature and culture has attracted an increasing number of tourists each year.
The Status Report is split into four parts, from A to D. Part A, focuses on main economic, business and political developments in 2012 and 2013. Part B consists of numerous graphs and charts, illustrating the overall economic landscape in Iceland. Part C focuses on 2009-2012, i.e. the chain of events concerning the financial collapse and policy actions taken to mitigate its effects. Part D includes a short overview on Iceland´s future prospects.
The Iceland Chamber of Commerce has published its Status Report since October 2008. It is sent to over 2.200 recipients in business,

occurred
at a New Jersey university
during a three-year period.
During the first
outbreak in 2016,
MenB-FHbp vaccination
was recommended
for all undergraduates.
In the most recent outbreak
reported in February 2019,
MenB vaccination was
again recommended
to all undergraduates,
and for the first time,
booster vaccination was also
recommended for students
who completed a primary series
at least one year previously.
Thus, college students are the
primary group at increased risk
for serogroup B outbreaks
who may have received
a MenB primary series
as healthy adolescents.
Current MenB vaccination
coverage among adolescents is
low with approximately 15%
of 17-year-olds receiving
at least one dose in 2017,
though coverage has steadily
increased since licensure.
Additionally, several serogroup
B cases have been reported
in patients who received
MenB vaccination.
Of the five reported cases to
date, with any MenB vaccine,
three were fully
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
one was partially
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
and one was partially
vaccinated with MenB-FHbp.
Among those fully
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
two had known underlying
conditions
that may have increased their
risk fora different
color, have been conducted
to assess immunogenicity
and persistence to each
of the four vaccine antigens
shown in the different panels
through seven and a half
years post-primary series.
Persistence following a MenB-4C
primary series was difficult
to generalize due to the
elevated baseline titers
in two studies, heterogenous
results by vaccine antigens,
different time points
assessed in different studies
and more limited
persistence data for NHBA
which contributes most to strain
coverage in the United States.
In light of this, the work
group's interpretation is
that antibodies wane
by two years following
the primary series
in healthy adolescents
and adults,
though they may wane earlier.
In addition, persistence
of MenB primary vaccination
against diverse serogroup
B strains,
including from college
outbreaks, has been assessed
in several observational
studies.
Variable patterns of short-term
persistence were observed
when measured up to 12
months post-vaccination.
In another recent study
to assess seroprevalence
at Princeton University
following the 2013 outbreak,
suboptimal short-term
immunogenicity followed
by substantial antibody waning
to the outbreak strain
was observed
in students vaccinated
with MenB-4C.

A woman was shot dead and a man was critically wounded in a shooting incident at a minibus taxi rank shop in Berea in Durban on Sunday morning, paramedics said.
Netcare 911 paramedics responded at 8.35am to reports of a shooting at a shop at the Warwick minibus taxi rank on Canongate Road, Berea, Netcare 911 spokesman Shawn Herbst said.
It appeared that a woman was shot dead and a man was shot and critically wounded. He was treated on the scene by an advanced life support paramedic and once stabilised was rapidly transported to hospital for further treatment. The circumstances surrounding the shooting were unknown and police were investigating, Herbst said.Tyler County Mike/Flickr This town in Tyler County that has a population of 132 people was not named such because its residents were a lot nicer than the people in your town.

Though it's also our way of getting back to you with a new Dr Boogie Presents' compilation album. This time, I opted for Rhythm'n'Blues, Soul, and a few asides in this black music that was so often dominated by fantastic singers through most of the '60s. Rhythm'n'Blues defines a music style born out of the Blues and Gospel. Played by black musicians in the early '40, Rhythm'n'Blues was first called'Race Music'. In 1949, as the US magazine Billboard published an article by Jerry Wexler, the 'Race Music' hit list became the Rhythm and Blues hit list. The expression aligns the word 'Rhythm' for a fast tempo and the word 'Blues' for the 12-Bar rule. This genre was black bands' thing. At a certain point young blacks andwhites were increasingly listening to the same music, but they didn't know it yet. Rhythm'n'Blues would become the vector that would let black music infiltrate white popular music and pave the way for the emergence of Rock'n'Roll. The arrival of Detroit, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, L.A. and Memphis record labels on the Rhythm'n'Blues scene made it possible for numerous regional styles to develop. Mid-sixties, Rhythm'n'Blues would morph into Soul, which would bow down to Funk circa 1974. Wasa Wasa presents you artists often little known, and released by labels that weren't better known for the most part. Let's dance, shout, groove and sweat... Fun is the word !DR. BOOGIE

testified consistently with the facts set forth above. Harris demonstrated for the jury how far King was standing from Lockridge when he fired the second shot, but the record does not reflect the distance. The pathologist who conducted the autopsy, Dr. Lelia Mauricio, testified the entrance wound was a clean, sharp, oval or semicircular wound that measured one centimeter in diameter. The bullet traveled in a downward trajectory with no deflection. There was no exit wound. Dr. Mauricio recovered the main bullet, but there were also multiple fragments left in the body. She determined the cause of death to be upper spinal cord injury. She did not describe powder burns at the entrance wound because she received the body many days after the shooting.
Gunn testified she was aclose friend of Lockridge and knew he owned a gun that he kept in a bank bag near the cash register. She told the jury she had held the gun. An investigator testified an empty bank bag was discovered next to the cash register after the shooting.
In his own defense, King explained that he and Davis returned to the Third Street Inn to collect money Lockridge owed them. When Lockridge refused to pay or produce the clothing, an argument ensued. Lockridge became angry and made a quick move to the waistband of his trousers. King grabbed Lockridge's arm, raised it into the air, and tried to twist the gun away when the gun fired, striking Lockridge in the neck. King said there was one man in front of

of the year-long personal relationship to show Gunn spent a good deal of time with Lockridge at the tavern, which allowed her to observe him with the pistol he allegedly owned and kept in a bank bag by the cash register. The testimony was offered to rebut an inference drawn by the State that Lockridge's wife and brother were in a better position to know whether Lockridge owned a gun.
The Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the trial court's limitation on Gunn's testimony. King, 694 S.W.2d at 946. King received the benefit of Gunn's favorable trial testimony that she observed Lockridge with a gun at the tavern, and the evidence of the illicit relationship was thus irrelevant. Id. The court also ruled exclusion of the evidence did not prejudice King,different portrait than the execution-style murder that may come to mind when reading the Tennessee Supreme Court's account of the offense.
The majority was troubled that King did not accept responsibility for his actions, he alleged the shooting was accidental, and he attempted to justify the killing because of Lockridge's refusal to pay him for merchandise. Id. at 947-948. King had a constitutional right to present a defense, however, and his defense was that Lockridge failed to pay him, an argument ensued, Lockridge pulled a gun, and the shooting was accidental. Having considered the credibility of the witnesses, the jury rejected King's defense. A defendant who insists he did not commit the crime may not express remorse.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to casting metal objects in molds that have riser cavities and riser toppings in the riser cavities, and to the problems associated with the use of riser toppings.
2. Description of the Art
In some metal molding processes, such as those used in casting steel railroad wheels, a solid graphite mold is used, with both cope and drag portions. Such molds are designed to be reused after a cast wheel has been removed from the mold. The cope mold portion, that is the top portion, typically has riser cavities. Such riser cavities typically have generally vertically-disposed cylindrical walls, and are open at both the tops and bottoms of the cavities. Prior to casting, a sand coating is typically baked onto parts ofthe walls of the riser cavities. During casting of the wheel, a reservoir of molten metal forms in the riser cavity attached to the wheel casting to compensate for internal contraction of the casting during solidification. After the metal is poured, a riser topping material is typically placed in the open top of the riser cavity on top of the molten metal in the riser. Riser toppings provide an insulating effect and reduce heat loss from convection and radiation. Compounds that serve as such insulators include powdered graphite, coke breeze, charcoal, rice or oat hulls and various combinations of refractory powders. After the cast wheel is removed from the mold, there is a waste metal riser left in the riser opening, as well as waste riser topping material.

Before the cope portion of the mold is used again, the waste riser and waste riser topping material must be removed from the riser cavity, and the baked sand coating must be removed.
In one prior art system, the waste metal riser and waste riser topping material are knocked out of the riser opening by a plunger assembly. In that system, there are brushes attached to solid plungers that are driven through the riser cavities of the cope portion of the mold. The plungers push the waste risers out through the bottoms of the riser cavities, the riser topping materials drop out through the bottoms of the riser cavities, and the brushes clean the cylindrical side walls of the riser cavities, brushing off the baked sand coating on thewalls of the riser cavities. In this system, the waste risers and some of the riser topping materials drop through a chute in the mill floor below the apparatus. There are hoppers in the basement under the mill floor and riser knock out station. Deflector bars beneath the mill floor deflect the waste risers to one hopper and allow sand and riser topping to drop to a second hopper. However, quantities of riser topping material also frequently fall to the mill floor. In another prior system, the surface of the cope mold portion is cleaned with high pressure air streams which blow any riser topping materials off of the cope mold portion surface. The waste metal risers may be knocked out in a separate operation and the waster

Consider two hypothetical situations. In the first, an Army general officer in a theater of war decides by himself that he strongly disagrees with the orders of the secretary of defense. He resigns his commission, returns to private life and speaks out vigorously against both the policy and the secretary of defense.
In example two, the top 100 generals in the Army military chain of command secretly agree among themselves to retire and speak out each one day after the other.

2017 hurricane season.
The hurricane season is from June to November. But not every year there is this kind of big hurricanes, and as we said it was the most powerful in a decade in the area. So it caused giant damages in its path, especially on some islands in the Caribbean.
The hurricane developed at the end of August, it began as a tropical wave that moved off the West African coast. Then grew into a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, in 24 hours. After that it became a Category 3, this is considered a major hurricane. The intensity keeps growing, and on September 5th it became a category 5 hurricane.
The winds caused by the hurricane were about 295 kilometers per hour. This happened on September 6th.At this moment experts said this was the worst tropical cyclone that has even been recorded in the word. Being a category 5 hurricane affected Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands.
The category of the hurricane dropped to 4 when it crossed over Cuba and the Florida Keys. This means the winds were about 215 km/h. Then, being a category 3 hurricane it hit Florida.
What happened in Cuba
Cuba is in the path of the hurricanes in the hurricane season, which happens between June and November. This also coincides with one of the tourist peak seasons that occurs in the months of July and August. This is the summer time. The other peak season is from December to March.

that Hurricane Irma hit Cuba. They also evacuated tourist in camps in the north of the island, next to rivers.
What happens to Cuba after the hurricane Irma?
Cuba was affected by this major natural phenomenon, there is no doubt about that. The government asses about 17 hotels in the tourist part of Jardines del Rey were affected by the big waves. But they government took good care of everyone in those places.
The International Airport Jardines del Rey was also affected. Mayra Alvarez the vice minister of tourism said the principal damages were in the lobbies and roofs of the hotels. But that the rooms were less affected. This means that the recovery should take less time.
The government said that the main priority is to fix the airport. So theygardening, ornamental trees, and public lighting. In this place stayed more than 15.000 tourists evacuated of keys.
In Holguin the tourist attractions are working well right now. The evacuation on time was very important, and then after the hurricane, they started to put back in the condition the areas affected. This town is now ready to attend the travelers and clients and to offer the best services as the fourth tourist destination on the island.
In other towns that weren't affected by Irma people started to organize and collect donations. With the intention to help the ones that were in trouble, this happened in Baracoa. There were also volunteers traveling to other towns to help.
The truth is that the force of nature is unstoppable, but the advice of evacuation helped

first made the ODI team as a batsman but while he still regularly keeps in limited-overs cricket he has not taken the gloves in Tests since 2010.
Although Adam Parore's Test mark of 201 dismissals remains within his reach, the chances of McCullum going back behind the stumps were further reduced when he took over as captain in all formats at the end of 2012. His succession was anything but smooth, however, with Ross Taylor opting out of New Zealand's subsequent tour of South Africa after being replaced in controversial circumstances. Despite two chastening Test defeats, a first-ever ODI series win in South Africa provided New Zealand, and McCullum, with a positive end to the tour.

Why was it that Australia put in such a hazy performance in a match that mattered so much? Of the two teams they are the more experienced, the more used to winning and entering this week the more confident
Australia's selectors and management have been accused of being too harsh on Brad Haddin but the team's horrible display at Edgbaston suggests that they may actually have been too lenient, and not just on him

Although one automobile escaped by turning off of the Parkway and leaving the jurisdiction of the Park Police, Officer Pope succeeded in effecting a traffic stop of the two remaining vehicles, the second of which was driven by Baker.
3
In response to a question from Officer Pope, the driver of the first automobile related that the four drivers knew each other and were travelling together. He then moved to Baker's vehicle and repeated the question. Baker denied knowing the other three drivers. During this conversation, Officer Pope observed a triangular-shaped bulge underneath the frontof Baker's shirt, near the waistband of his pants. In order to determine whether Baker was carrying a concealed weapon, Officer Pope ordered Baker to lift his shirt above the bulge. Twice, he quickly raised his shirt approximately an inch and then dropped it, preventing the officer from observing what was concealed underneath. Finally, Baker lifted his shirt sufficiently to permit Officer Pope to see a handgun tucked into the waistband of his pants.
4
Ordering Baker to raise his hands, Officer Pope drew his weapon and requested assistance via his radio. After initially complying with the officer's request, Baker slowly dropped his hands and pushed the door of the vehicle into Officer Pope, who quickly kicked it shut. Baker

Effects of hallux limitus on plantar foot pressure and foot kinematics during walking.
The effects of hallux limitus on plantar foot pressure and foot kinematics have received limited attention in the literature. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the effects of limited first metatarsophalangeal joint mobility on plantar foot pressure. It was equally important to identify detection criteria based on plantar pressures and metatarsophalangeal joint kinematics, enabling differentiation between subjects affected by hallux limitus and people with normal hallux function. To further our understanding of the relation between midtarsal collapse and hallux limitus, kinematic variables relating to midtarsal pronation were also included in the study. Two populations of 19 subjects each, one with hallux limitus and the other free of functional abnormalities, were asked to walk at theirpreferred speed while plantar foot pressures were recorded along with three-dimensional foot kinematics. The presence of hallux limitus, structural or functional, caused peak plantar pressure under the hallux to build up significantly more and at a faster rate than under the first metatarsal head. Additional discriminators for hallux limitus were peak dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, time to this peak value, peak pressure ratios of the first metatarsal head and the more lateral metatarsal heads, and time to maximal pressure under the fourth and fifth metatarsal heads. Finally, in approximately 20% of the subjects, with and without hallux limitus, midtarsal pronation occurred after heel lift, validating the claim that retrograde midtarsal pronation does occur.

his responsibilities as a member of the Court of Impeachment. His physical condition grew worse and on 13 July 1964 he submitted to surgery. A hemi-laminectomy was performed and two degenerated lumbar discs were removed. The medical testimony established that the development of the disc condition was probably a long time process. For awhile the petitioner's condition improved, *184 his condition then retrogressed and again improved. In the opinion of the doctors, the petitioner's condition eventually became stationary. An award was entered on 20 April 1966 without a formal hearing. The petitioner entered a timely request for a formal hearing which was held on 19 October 1966 and the decision thereon was rendered on 17 March 1967. The matter was then brought before us on a writ ofcertiorari.
At the hearing the petitioner reviewed his background as a business man, including his work as a general contractor, as well as his period of service as a Senator. He reviewed his efforts to secure employment prior to August 1965. In that month his first wife died after a serious illness. This great strain together with the petitioner's legislative responsibilities prevented his active efforts in seeking employment. He had made efforts to secure employment prior to his wife's death. The petitioner performed his legislative responsibilities during the calendar year 1966.
At the time of the October 1966 hearing the petitioner testified that his physical condition was such that he was unable to engage in an occupation requiring more than modest physical activity. This was confirmed by the medical evidence.

in 2016, allowing every election to be won by openly corrupt U.S.-backed right-wing politicians and parties.
Advertisement:
After the devastating 2010 earthquake, the 2011 election was won by Michel Martelly, a Haitian pop singer supported by Bill and Hillary Clinton. He was quickly mired in scandal over a $2.6 million bribe from a Dominican construction firm to whom he awarded $200 million in no-bid contracts for post-earthquake rebuilding work, triggering large anti-corruption protests in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The latest election in 2016 was another fiasco. Evidence of massive election fraud triggered huge anti-government demonstrations before Jovenel Moise, the declared winner, even took office. Exit polls showed Moise only winning 6 percent of the votes in the first round, a small fraction of his official 33 percent share that won hima place in the run-off.
Now Haitian government auditors have released a 600-page report detailing how Moise has embezzled millionsof dollars, mainly from the PetroCaribe fund. Under this program, Venezuela supplied Haiti with oil but deferred payment for 25 years so that Haiti could spend the money on badly needed infrastructure, hospitals and social programs. The audit revealed how Moise siphoned millions of dollars from these funds into his own personal bank accounts.
Haiti remains under UN military occupation to this day. UN troops have used force against the public and unleashed a cholera epidemic. The UN mandate for the remaining 1,275-member UN police force, supported by about 300 Indian troops, finally expires on October 15, when it is due to be replaced by a 30-member UN political mission.

1903 is shown in how he trained. His job at the Pump Manufacturing Company of East Cambridge meant he could only train at night after a long days work.
The following year, at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, Lordan ran in the marathon under the United States Olympic Committee. However, this was not necessarily a rejection of his Irish roots.
Before independence, Irish athletes were counted as British. There simply was not a platform to compete as an Irish athlete. Running as part of the American team was the logical way for Lordan, a US resident, to compete.
The Olympic marathon proved to be nothing short of bizarre. Lordan himself pulled out after 10 miles, succumbing to a fit of vomiting. This was an affliction suffered by many of the competitors.
Raceorganisers had set the course to travel over dirt tracks on an extremely hot day in the mid-American city. Cars that had been traveling in front of the runners had kicked up the dirt, making breathing very difficult for competitors in the 32 degree heat.
The organisers had also shown their incompetence by arranging the nearest fresh water to be available twelve miles from the course. Sammy Mellor Jr also withdrew after collapsing. Cuban, Felix Carvajal, stopped to eat an apple from an orchard and got terrible stomach cramps, possibly denying him victory.
The first Black African participants in the Olympics also took part in this race. One, a Zulu tribesman named Lentauw, was chased off course for a mile by a pack of dogs. Another competitor, Willaim Garcia, was

Others are separated by lengthy periods of numbing futility spawning angst and desperation.
Change can be messy. And then there are these Lakers. They'll hit the floor next year with one of the most promising young trios in franchise history, led by their aging icon eager to prove he is still equal to any task.
As Bryant preps for what could be his final season, he's facing an unusual array of challenges as he deals with his own basketball mortality, a failing body and reduced relevance on basketball's landscape.

But his biggest challenge is simply letting go. To go against his instincts. To be an agent of change instead of an impediment. The fortunes of the Lakers no longer revolve around Bryant. The tug-of-war between Kobe's Way anda new era itching to explode out of the starting blocks can no longer exist.
It's time for Kobe to embrace a new role both on and off the floor.
There is nothing that pushes Bryant quite like a personal challenge. The single-mindedness of his will, its sheer force, is the essence of who he is. That will never change.
Bryant wants to prove he's still elite. That's why he puts his body through one hellish rehab after another. It's why he submerges it in a tub full of ice every day. It's why his trainer's phone never stops ringing. It's why he barely sleeps at night. It's why his mind has no off switch.
The Lakers whiffed left and right on big-name free agents, then salvaged the offseason by signing a

That kid from Louisville ain't a baby no more. That early purveyor of reckless swagger knows the Lakers universe no longer revolves around him anymore.
But what a pair they could make. The student and the teacher. The would-be king and the sage eager to share his wisdom.

No less than the future of the NBA's most storied franchise depends on it.
On that promising June afternoon, Russell got up from his first press conference and tugged on his smart blue sport jacket. He carefully folded his brand-new Lakers jersey and tucked it under his arm. He looked excited. Or nervous. Depending on your angle. Probably both.
Outside, the dependable South Los Angeles sun shonebeautifully, as it tends to do. There, in the impossibly tight players parking lot of the Lakers' El Segundo practice facility on lonely Nash Street, Russell jumped into a waiting car and it rolled through the gate.
Traffic cleared and the car pulled off. Nervous anticipation hung in the warm air.
The Lakers are racked with uncertainty. Yet the persistent hum of promise remains their constant companion.
Eras crash into one another. But never so sweetly as this.

Eastman continued in his position as Principal Engineer and regularly raised issues related to product quality as part of his normal duties. He alleges that the company became resistant to his quality control efforts. On July 23, 2001, Eastman submitted a letter responding to the earlier disciplinary warning and raising new product quality issues. The new letter alleged that others in the company had misrepresented some vendor requirements, failed to ensure accurate testing of a piece of wire, and used an uncertified welder to complete some work. Marine Mechanical says that it thoroughly investigated the allegations, concluded that the quality issues had been identified to the company's customer, and found no evidence of intentional misrepresentations made by employees. Although Eastman insists that his letter representedhis attempt to comply with the stated company policies of identifying possible violations of quality control standards by this government contractor, Marine Mechanical determined that Eastman's letter constituted another attempt to discredit other employees.
According to Marine Mechanical, the July 2001 letter amounted to an act of misconduct in the same vein as Eastman's prior transgression in February 2001 for which he received his disciplinary warning. The defendant decided to fire him. Two company officers notified Eastman of the termination on September 27, 2001. When discussing the reasons for the action, the officers stated that Eastman was terminated for making more unfounded and meritless allegations.
On May 30, 2002, Eastman filed a complaint in the Cuyahoga County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas alleging that Marine Mechanical committed a tort under

This could, it said, push oil prices higher in the next five years.
IEA members are required to hold emergency oil inventories for use during supply disruptions. In June, it decided to release 60 million barrels in response to the loss of Libya's exports, only the third such move in the IEA's 37-year history.
The oil price assumptions are those of the IEA's New Policies Scenario, the central case of this year's WEO, and which includes the impact of measures announced, if not implemented, by countries around the world to tackle energy challenges such as climate change.

STATEMENT OF WONG SUN
I met JAMES TOY approximately the middle of March, this year, at Marysville, California, during a Chinese celebration. We returned to Sanat the laundry and I met him. He gave me one piece, which I gave to JAMES, and JAMES immediately thereafter called JOHNNY. We drove to 606 11th Ave. at approximately midnight and JAMES gave the piece to JOHNNY. It was contained in a rubber contraceptive in a small brown paper bag.
Again on June 3rd, the night before I was arrested, I met JAMES at the laundry, prior to 11 o'clock in the evening, and JAMES telephoned JOHNNY at EV6-9336. Then we went out to JOHNNY's and smoked heroin and also had one paper for our own use later. We were there approximately 1/2 hour and then left.
The laundry mentioned is OYE's LAUNDRY, 1733 Leavenworth Street, which is run by JAMES TOY. I do not know JOHNNY's last

Hunter, Nicole, Nelson, and Kailah showed up on the scene, most of them being their rookie season or first real season, and they all performed well physically. Kailah and Nicole could become two top female physical competitors in the future, Hunter was an overall beast, and Nelson might win the final! A whole lot of hooking up. There are so many confirmed, possible, and unconfirmed hook ups from this season, which made it feel like a true season of the Challenge. The return of a ton of non-big competitors. It was nice to see LaToya, Marie, Ashley K, andothers show back up for this season of the Challenge. Good to have those middle tier competitors show up. Creative eliminations. Besides the elimination between Cory and Theo, most of the eliminations were either classics, or creative original games. A focus on balance. Some seasons of the Challenge are very one dimensional, while this season always had a focus on multiple factors: strength, physical endurance, mental endurance, agility, mental capabilities, social game, politics, etc. We saw Jenna, Hunter, and Tony all lose due to this focus on multiple skill-sets. Almost no quitters. After last season, the amount of quitting or disqualifications was very upsetting. This season under much worse conditions, we only had 1 quitter, Theo. Darrell and his camper.

In examples 1 to 5, the sum of the intensities of the T2 and T3 groups is greater by a factor of at least 5 than the intensity of the T1 groups; in other words, the fraction of T1 groups on the surface of the modified metal oxide, based on the sum of T1+T2+T3, is in all cases below 15% and is lower than the fraction of T3 groups. Correspondingly, the metal oxides are notable for highly crosslinked silicone resin layers and a low thickening effect in abeen transferred.

The arraignment was rescheduled for October 15, 2002, but was continued due to defense counsel's renewed concerns about Mr. deShazar's competency. The district court then determined it was necessary to conduct a competency hearing.

The district court held a competency hearing on February 24, 2003. Following the hearing, the district court found Mr. deShazar competent to stand trial and reset the arraignment for April 16, 2003. At the arraignment, the district court scheduled a jury trial for June 2, 2003. Shortly thereafter, Mr.granted Mr. deShazar's motion and the matter was reactivated in the district court.

On December 22, 2003, the district court held a status conference and set a trial date of February 17, 2004. Shortly thereafter, the district court entered an order setting another competency hearing for February 13, 2004, four days before the jury trial was set to begin. The very next day, Mr. deShazar asked the district court to allow another competency examination and to continue the competency hearing until February 17, 2004, the date the jury trial was set to begin. At the conclusion of the February 17 competency hearing, the court ordered, in accordance with the positions of both parties, that Mr. deShazar be re-evaluated by the Bureau of Prisons as to his competency to stand

other peoples. The Indian tribes that have occupied this territory in historic times, such as the Havasupai and the Mojave, probably descended from the Hakataya.
A fifth major southwestern cultural group, the Southern Athapaskans, arrived in the region from their ancestral home in west-central Canada late in the prehistoric period, probably in the 1400s, as bison-hunting nomads. These people settled in abandoned areas formerly populated by the Anasazi and Mogollon, although they eventually crowded other groups out of hunting and potential farming areas. Both Navajos and Apaches, the main groups of Southern Athapaskans, continued their nomadic occupations until the nineteenth century and later. The Navajos took up sheepherding, whereas the Apaches, having been pushed off the plains during the eighteenth century by the Comanche, became the most feared raidersof the Southwest.
Corn, beans, squash, cotton, and tobacco constituted the most important crops among prehistoric southwestern tribes. People living near rivers also ate fish as a major part of their diets. Cacti, mescal, screwbeans, mesquite, and grasses were important food sources in the south of the region; deer, mountain sheep, and small mammals were more important in the north. Those who produced little food or who had limited regular access to food raided, traded, or received agricultural products as gifts. The Athapaskans dominated hunting in the Southwest, but only the Navajo hunted more than they gathered, and even for them, hunting was less important than farming as a source of food. Since growing food in the Southwest often required the use of many different environmental niches, a certain

the precontact southwestern Indian population of several hundred thousand or more had been reduced by 75 to 80 percent as a result of new diseases introduced by the Spaniards.
New Spain established its first regional colony in the Rio Grande Valley in 1598 and began to demand religious conversion, monetary tribute, and slave labor of the Indians. Such abuses led to revolts, culminating in the Pueblo revolt of 1680, led by Pope, which succeeded in expelling the Spanish from the valley for 12 years. When they returned, the Spanish had learned to moderate their demands somewhat, and the Pueblo Indians had learned to practice their own religion in secret while adopting a form of Catholicism.
Unlike the British colonists of North America, the Spanish did not attempt, at least initially,to settle on Indian lands. Still, the Spanish influence throughout the region was enormous. In addition to Catholicism and a legacy of oppression, the Spaniards introduced a variety of technological innovations into the area, such as domestic animals, wool and textiles, wheat and other crops, metal tools, and firearms. Spanish subjugation of Southwest Indians ended in 1821 with the declaration of the modern state of Mexico. However, Mexico soon found itself in conflict with the new United States over land, a situation that led to war in 1845 and the Mexican cession between 1848 and 1853 of what is now the southwestern United States.
In short order, but especially following the Civil War, the United States began a military campaign to confine all Indians to reservations. By the 1880s

Motor hemiplegia and the cerebral organization of movement in man. II. The myth of the human extrapyramidal system.
Following a brief review of the concept of extrapyramidal system, clinical and anatomic evidence is presented against its relative prominence in man. It is proposed that the greatest part of those structures traditionally labeled as extrapyramidal effects its respective functional activities by way of the pyramidal tracts themselves. Such structures, centered around the basal nuclei, the cerebellum and possibly, the limbic areas of the prosencephalon are, according to the present suggestion, indeed, pre pyramidal. This model is based upon the clinical analysis of patients and agrees with more than one century of anatomic verifications in human brains, favoring the notion of the singularity of the human brain.State police ID teen shot by officer, accused of striking cruiser and police after stealing car in Waterbury

Lehigh River. The 47 room Hotel Wahnetah was a perfect getaway for people in Northeastern United States. The hotel prided itself on the beautiful hike to the Glen Onoko falls which became nearly as popular as Niagara Falls at the time. Unfortunately, the beauty of the hotel was short- lived. In 1911 it burned down in a major forest fire. The falls and their beauty still remain there and can be seen on hikes through this area. There are even remains of stone steps and foundations of old buildings.
After lots of devastation, fires and the end of the coal era, the Lehigh Gorge was nearly forgotten. It wasnʼt until the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the railroad trail in the 1970s that the area became popular again. The trackswere eventually taken out and became a scenic bicycling path. In 1980 the area became known at the Lehigh Gorge State Park.
Above the Lehigh Gorge State Park is a significant structure that helps in the conservation of this beautiful park. The Francis E. Walter Dam in White Haven was built in 1961 and it has prevented millions of dollars in flood damage in the areas below it. The dam has also been a tremendous help for recreational whitewater industry on the Lehigh River but it wasnʼt until 1988 that the purpose of the dam was expanded to include both flood control and recreation. It was still a guessing game for many more years. Boaters and fishermen never knew when a release would take place.

Beth competes in swimming, and she has to keep her entire body waxed. She has turned her friend Jackie onto the pleasures of being completely smooth all over. These ladies really know how to kiss, and they also define flesh on flesh. From this frame on, practically every flick of their tongues go into the other's vagina, onto her clit, or onto her ass hole. They anilingate each other again and again, relentlessly. In the latter third of the series, they also use a vibrator, a dildo, a butt plug, and anal beads. And they keep doing flesh on flesh.

Starting in March, MTA employees will be testing out the new payment program called OMNY, or One Metro New York, at 16 subway stations on the 4, 5, and 6 lines from Grand Central-42nd St. to Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center. The test also includes the SIM30 express bus route on Staten Island.
With OMNY, riders can wave or tap their smartphones, or apps connected to their bank accounts, such as Apple Pay, to get through the turnstile.

Flynn next contends that his attorney's performance was adversely affected by his physical and emotional problems. His attorney was taking medication for high blood pressure and was reportedly experiencing mood swings during the trial. Flynn has not specified in what way counsel's condition caused constitutionally deficient assistance at trial. In his affidavit, Flynn's attorney stated that the medication did not affect his ability to concentrate and that his medical condition was under control during the trial. The trial took place over a period ofappeal. His substantive claim for ineffective assistance of counsel in regard to the jury instructions is discussed in the next section

He had also represented Stoneking on a double murder charge, which resulted in a manslaughter conviction, and on Dyer Act violations, for which Stoneking was convicted in the early 1980's. In 1983 or 1984, the attorney learned that Stoneking had been secretly cooperating with the government, and he did not represent him after that.

When I first read in the spring of 2011 what Uzi was telling us about the unwarranted building of mosques and minarets in a town nearby to their own Israeli village in the West Bank, I realized there was a parallel to all the unwarranted mosque building that Islamists have been doing in the United States, the United Kingdom and the European nations - building more and bigger mosques than the population can support should be raising suspicions on intended purposes.
That's why I added the sub-title, What happens in Israel doesn't stay in Israel. The battles that Israel has and does face in combating the terrorist Islamist enemy is the forerunner of the battles that the whole of Western civilization is and will engage in to defend ourselvesBank as they had Gaza. That is why the reporting by Lotan in 2011, and now again after the discovery of the extensive tunnel network under Gaza, begs the question:

think he has perfected the art of ordination.
The original ceremony location was a labor of floral love and I was so thankful that the skies parted after the ceremony allowing us to take advantage of the amazingly decorated altar. The storm provided some of the most beautiful light I have ever seen at a wedding in my ten years photographing them. The fog in woods and the sun beams that shone through were just magical and beyond what we could have asked for. Alyssa and Alex's portraits in the woods are some of my all-time favorites. It was the perfect silver lining and a great reminder that sometimes you take the good with the bad and in this case, it was definitely worth it.
The reception started with aanymore, with many folks opting to book over email or a phone call. Having coffee with Jen and hearing about the details of John's and her day felt like getting together with an old friend. Add to that all of the perfect decisions they made about the wedding; the sailcloth tent, her delicate lace dress and the beautifully manicured gardens at the house, getting dressed at the Woolverton Inn in Stockton, and the fact that the wedding took place on a gorgeous property right around the corner from my own home, it was perfection.
The threat of thunderstorms may have dampened the mood a bit in the morning but I was thankful that John refused to get married anywhere but on the lawn, as planned. I quietly love when

who would supply the trade goods on which they had come to depend.
While many Indians, both individual warriors and Indian nations, supported the American cause during the war, this did not give them any advantages following the war. In fact Indian support for the new nation did not even earn Indian people a place in the nation they helped to create. For Native Americans, it seemed the American Revolution was truly a no-win situation.Tolerance cannot be measured in terms of degrees of intolerance. I am essentially opposed to burning books even when they incite others to violence. But freedom is either an absolute or it is conditioned on not inciting others to violence. Anything else is rationalized bigotry.

catch and retain as many insects as it has internally available space. Insect traps may also require significant human labor to periodically clean or replace the traps.
Several insect bait stations have also been designed in an attempt to solve this problem. While bait stations have experienced some success at controlling the insect population in its immediately surrounding area, many prior art insect bait station designs have also suffered drawbacks. A major drawback has been the cost of prior bait stations, making the use of such stations cost prohibitive in some circumstances. Other drawbacks have related to the assembly, storage, deployment, and effectiveness of the bait stations.
Some prior art insect bait stations are made from multiple parts. This can cause significant assembly time, especially in view of the largeand enable a laborer to carry many stations in a single trip.
The present invention also preferably includes a single piece injection-molded insect bait station. The bait station may include two curved halves hingeably attached by a foldable connecting piece or hinge that is molded with the curved halves. On the unconnected edges, tab and groove pieces that serve as a locking mechanism when the two curved halves are folded over to complete the cylinder. A roof is sloped to provide improved water drainage. A deployment loop is attached to the center of the sloped roof, and is used to place the bait station in desired locations. In the open position, the bait station is in an ideal configuration to be stacked, allowing for compact shipping and storage.

station also preferably includes a plurality of holes. A linear hole near the middle of the cylinder is used to attach a bait holder to the bait station. Circular holes above the linear holes and near the top of the cylinder are vent holes that disperse the attractant of the bait to lure flying insects. The flying insects then can enter the bait station through either the vent holes or the open bottom portion, become affected by the bait, and die.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a bait station for flying insects is provided. The bait station includes a vertical side wall enclosure and a roof. The vertical side wall enclosure has inner and outer surfaces and top and bottom portions. The roof is positioned adjacentfurther has inner and outer surfaces, top and bottom portions, and a plurality of vent holes extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. The roof is positioned adjacent the top portion of the side wall enclosure. An interior is defined by the inner surface of the vertical side wall enclosure and the roof. The interior is intended for holding bait, and attractant from such bait is permitted to permeate through the vent holes to attract flying insects.

out of the house, his car was gone. The next time he saw it was two days later at a police station. He did not know the defendant, James William Moore, and did not give him permission to drive the car.
Robert Olson, a police officer, testified that he stopped the defendant on December 27, 1968, for a traffic violation. After a check of the license number with the radio dispatcher, he learned that the defendant was driving a stolen car belonging to Noa. Officer Olson said that he took the defendant to the police station, advised him of his constitutional rights and then asked him certain questions. In response to the question of where he got the car, the defendant stated that he was walking *268 in the900 block of Leland Avenue when he saw the car with the motor running. Since he needed transportation to get to work, he decided to take the car.
The defendant testified in his own behalf. He said he lived at 915 West Wilson. About five minutes before his arrest, he had been given permission to use the car by a Harold Thompson, who he believed owned the car. He had known Thompson about two weeks and thought he lived at 914 or 916 Leland Avenue. Earlier that day, accompanied by Thompson, the defendant said he drove the car to the Illinois State License Bureau where he took a driver's test and received a temporary operator's permit. Thompson then rented him the car for the rest of the afternoon for

$10, just prior to his arrest. He said he did not know that the car was stolen before he was informed of that fact by Officer Olson. On cross-examination, the defendant admitted that he had told the police that he had seen the car in the 900 block of Leland and taken it to get to work. He did not tell the police about Harold Thompson and had not seen Thompson or written to him since his arrest.
The defendant contends that the evidence implicating him in the crime is circumstantial and insufficient to remove all reasonable doubt of his guilt. He relies on People v. Magnafichi, 9 Ill.2d 169, 137 NE2d 256. In that case, none of the four eyewitnesses could identify the defendant as one of thewho had allegedly just given him the car. *270 While in jail, the defendant did not try to contact Thompson. Given these facts, we see no reason to reverse the decision of the trial judge.
The defendant contends, in the alternative, that the sentence of five to ten years is too severe and should be reduced. Before sentencing, a hearing in aggravation and mitigation was held. The defendant's criminal record reveals that in July, 1961, he was sentenced to thirty days in the House of Correction on a charge of larceny of an automobile. On September 29, 1961, he was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction on a charge of tampering. On February 7, 1963, he was sentenced to one year in Vandalia. On January 22,

Nothing a round of antibiotics couldn't fix, but the few days I spent trapped on the couch under the pair of two-year-olds made me super glad we'd done their tonsillectomy the year before and caused illness to be a rare thing. Thankfully, my mom showed up to help and we powered through.
In March, Bryan spent most of a week in Vail, Colorado, with his dad. An avid skier, he looks forward to this visit to the Rockies all year. He came home happy and rejuvenated, which he deserves very much considering how hard he works the rest of the time.
When April came, the world finally started to thaw and I think the general moodin our house lifted several notches with the degrees on the thermometer. Forty degrees felt balmy, and I was relieved to be able to let the kids play outside. That month was a big one for Camilla: at the beginning, she made her first reconciliation, and on Easter she received her first communion. It was a joyous occasion for our girl. It feels like just moments since she was a four-week-old getting baptized, so this was surreal, but lovely. Camilla was beaming on the day, and is thrilled to be able to receive communion at her school's daily Mass now.

exchange of information regarding traffic forwarding and the status of individual SMLT links.
For each SMLT connection, the aggregation switches have a standard MLT or individual port with which an SMLT identifier is associated. For a given SMLT connection, the same SMLT ID must be configured on each of the peer aggregation switches.
For example, when one switch receives a response to an ARP request from an end station on a port that is part of an SMLT, it will inform its peer switch across the IST and request the peer to update its own ARP table with a record pointing to its own connection with the corresponding SMLT ID.
In general, normal network traffic does not traverse the IST unless this is the only path to reach a hostwill show on the sender's phone.

even the smallest operational tasks are obstructed. Not to mention more serious responsibilities such as the mending of a broken school window, which now can take days, even weeks. In addition, KLIK is in the red ever since its first year, despite annually receiving billions of forints. This results in teachers not getting their pay on time or even in schools having to close temporarily because they were unable to pay the gas bills.
As for evening out the quality of education across the country, the government aimed to demolish disparities by introducing a unified education plan. Schools now have to follow the National Core Curriculum, the textbook industry was nationalized, and new subjects introduced. As a result, students and teachers alike are overwhelmed by the increased number ofthe corridors during P.E., as the gym is occupied by another class.
The first to publicly speak up about the terrible state of the education system were the teachers in Miskolc, a city of 160.000 in north-eastern Hungary. They issued an open letter summarizing their criticism and demands in the beginning of 2016. Their proposal was endorsed by more than 500 schools and 30.000 individuals in the following weeks, showing clearly that the damages of the education reform are felt nation-wide.
The growing tension could no longer be overlooked. A Public Education Roundtable forum was called together on February 9, and the undersecretary for public education, Judit Bertalan Czunyiné was replaced by László Palkovics, undersecretary for higher education.

After the officer noticed that the vehicle identification number on the gooseneck of the bike appeared to have been ground off, he ran a registration check on the vehicle identification number found on the engine, which revealed that the bike belonged to a Mr. Manes and that there was no report of it having been stolen.
The officer asked defendant if the motorcycle belonged to him, to which defendant responded that it did. The officer then asked defendant where he got the bike, to which defendant responded that he had bought it from a friend of one of the two men sitting with him. After defendant's companion denied any knowledge about suchdevice, the wiping of the nozzle face with the wiper blade kept in the deflected state by the wiper blade restricting member prevents the liquid that has been wiped off by the wiper blade from splattering in the surrounding area.

off in the SEC
Championship Game next Saturday in Atlanta in what amounts to a de facto
national semifinal.
While Notre Dame might not finish the season unbeaten, Ohio State definitely
will. The Buckeyes finished 12-0 on Saturday with a 26-21 win over arch-rival
Michigan to complete the sixth perfect season in school history, but are
ineligible for the postseason in Urban Meyer's first year after the NCAA
levied a one-year bowl ban as part of penalties stemming from Jim Tressel's
tenure.
Ohio State cannot win the BCS title, but there are no restrictions in the
media balloting. The Buckeyes became the first team ineligible for postseason
play to finish unbeaten since Auburn was 11-0 under Terry Bowden in 1993.
Florida and Oregon swapped places in this week's poll, with the Gators moving
up to No. 5 after a win overFlorida State. Kansas State, Stanford, LSU and
Texas A&M complete this week's top 10. Stanford, which knocked off a No. 1
Oregon squad last week, moved up three spots from 11th after winning at UCLA
on Saturday to set up a rematch with the Bruins in the Pac-12 title game.
The second 10 consists of South Carolina, Oklahoma, Florida State, Nebraska,
Clemson, Oregon State, UCLA, Kent State, Northern Illinois and Utah State.
Kent State and Northern Illinois each moved up five places from last week and
will meet for the Mid-American Conference title on Friday.
Michigan, Northwestern, Texas, Oklahoma State and Boise State are the last
five teams ranked. Texas tumbled five places after a home loss to TCU on
Thanksgiving, while Northwestern and Boise State are newcomers.

gems like The Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare. One of my favorite novels in this genre is Jack Higgins The Eagle Has Landed, the classic story of a Nazi attempt to kidnap British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
In Sheba, Higgins returns to the WWII thriller in this story about a Nazi attempt to destroy Britain's life line to its eastern colonies, the Suez Canal, on the first day of the war. To do so, they use a German archeologist's secret discovery of the legendary Temple of Sheba in the Arabian Empty Quarter as a clandestine staging area for an airborne attack on the canal scheduled to coincide with the German invasion of Poland.
Gavin Kane is a disillusioned American archeologist who now makes his living taking odd jobs,including smuggling. Kane is hired by an English heiress to find her husband, a British archeologist who went missing in his own for Sheba's temple. By tracing the man's last known movements, Kane, his employer, and the woman Kane loves, find the Temple of Sheba, and stumble onto the Nazi plot. While cover blurb emphasizes the Nazi attack, the Nazi plot is actually disrupted relatively early in the novel. After that, the book becomes a story of survival and revenge.
Sheba mixes elements of H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines with a 1950-ish adventure story. While Sheba doesn't have the depth of Eagle, or a memorable character the likable IRA gunman Liam Devlin, it is an enjoyable read....more

An okay WWII thriller about an archeologist caught up with Nazi spies plotting to disrupt the Suez Canal from a desert in the Middle East. It is amazing how many times the hero gets left with no water in the desert and survives. Apparently one should never underestimate an archeologist.

for describing courage. Ernest found writingtips from the King James Bible, the deceased Mark Twain, and Stephan Crane.
After finding his own original style, he developed a power in simplicity andpoetry in the everday speech. Hemingway finally made sense of the usualadjective filled works of mainstream writing. John Donnes keen mind led topowerful sermons, both in the church and in his literary works. One of hisreligious prose, Meditation 17, is one of the most quoted works of all time.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent,a part of the main…; any mans death diminishes me, for I am involved inmankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls forthee. Donnes sonnet structure has been associated withend Hemingways novel, the maincharacter refused to die in vain. He died with his riffle in his hand andprohibits dying without winning. He voices his feelings to his love and thenkills the leader of the enemy. Hemingway is known for his description ofcourage. Most of his works have him as the main character and the adventures areof his own. His life time opportunities and experiences are told throughout allof his literary works. An idea in Donnes essay is about how God picks a fewpeople as translators for several reasons such as age, sickness, justice, andsometimes war, but he calls upon everyone to come. The idea of Hemingwayscharacter dying without triumph is reviewing Donnes inspiration on a mansfate having an impact on all neighbors. When Robert Jordan died in

war, he notonly killed others, his death had an impression on others in his life. Whenpeople are brought to war in a country, they work together for security ofothers. No one is fending for themselves, they are fighting for eachother. InMeditation 17 , No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a pieceof the continent, a part of the main. This idea surfaces in For Whom the BellTolls , time after time when the characters work together to find escape routesand tactics to win the battle in the Spanish Civil War. The power of God is astrong theme in John Donnes essay. He gives examples of Gods power overmankind such as the setting of the sun, and the time in which we are called upontoexit life. The essay also states that humans take advantage of all the giftswe are given such as living itself. The idea that man is as selfish as toconsider his or her own power, and not consider Gods power over the entireworld and he himself can call upon the occasion of the ringing of thebell. This idea of human power verses His power, is evident in Hemingwaysnovel with the actions of war. One country fighting another because of power ofman. III. Conclusion Ernest Hemingway and John Donne had many similar ideas andbeliefs. After reading Donnes long serious essay, Meditation 17 , many oftheir shared points were evident throughout Hemingways For Whom the BellTolls. They both thought that someones fate is shared by his or her neighbor.

their current homes, in Umm al-Hiran.
In 2010, a state zoning committee recommended recognizing Umm al-Hiran, which would have brought water, electricity and other services to the site. But Prime Minister Netanyahu's office vetoed the recommendation.
Last month, at a special cabinet session held to honor the memory of David Ben-Gurion, the ministers voted to demolish Umm al-Hiran and replace it with the housing-subsidized national-religious Jewish settlement, to be called Hiran. This, despite a pending legal challenge to be heard by the High Court of Justice, which subsequently issued a temporary order to block the eviction and demolition.
Example Two: Al-Arakib village, five miles north of the Negev capital of Beer Sheva. Population: Originally 300 families, now fewer.
At issue: An afforestation project planned by the Israel Lands Authority and the JewishNational Fund, is to be carried out near the officially unrecognized Bedouin village. The ILA, rejecting the villagers arguments that they legally owned the land, ordered them evicted and the village demolished, saying the land belongs to the state.
Since 2010, the village has been successively demolished and rebuilt no fewer than 62 times.
History: After years of wrangling, during which ILA crop-duster planes
sprayed wheat fields planted by the villagers, killing the crops, in 2010 the ILA ordered the village demolished. It rejected the villagers' arguments that they legally owned the land. It called the villagers squatters, fought successful court battles to confirm its ownership, and has pursued the unending cycle of police-supervised demolitions and rebuilding by villagers.

on December 1, after declining offers for respite care and home assistance.
The police statement to the coroner suggests Wood died a month later after she fell in her bedroom, perhaps suffering a stroke, and could not get up. The cause of her death that hot summer ''will be forever undetermined'', police say, because of the time it took to find her body.
Allan Matthews, 85, learnt of his cousin's death in the newspaper in 2011.
''I was shocked like everybody else but I didn't feel emotionally involved because I didn't know the lady,'' he says.
He met Wood only once, while on a family camping holiday as a young boy. ''It was a big family and they just drift apart,'' he says. ''We moved in different circles as it were.''
Despite this,he is among five of Wood's cousins who argue they are entitled to the proceeds of her estate. Their joint claim is contested by Davis, who was married to Wood's brother, Vane Herbert Davis, who died in 2009.
The coroner's decision as to the date of Wood's death is crucial to any subsequent claim in the Supreme Court, says wills and estates specialist Darryl Browne. Wood had no will, spouse or children and her parents were long dead. Browne says if she is ruled to have died in 2004, while her brother was alive, any spoils would be likely awarded by the Supreme Court to his estate, of which Enid Davis is the sole beneficiary.
The laws of intestacy changed in 2010. If the date of death remains the day

Wood's body was discovered in 2011, after her brother had died, her estate will be likely shared equally between her cousins, as her closest living relatives.
It matters little under the law whether they visited or cared for her while she was alive, Browne says.
''The prospect of money probably brings out the worst in characters,'' he says. ''The sister-in-law was absent for eight years as well, so I don't think anybody comes out of this with great glory, frankly. It is an indictment on society, on all her relatives, her neighbours, the gas people, water people, social security.''
The inside of 139 Kippax Street looks the same as in the crime scene photographs. On a recent weekday, I peep through the keyhole to see cobwebs coating the floors and walls.Dust and dirt are everywhere.
''There was a skeleton in there, you know,'' calls out a woman from the footpath behind me. She introduces herself as Robyn Gregory, who lives in a boarding house nearby, and says she often saw Wood sitting on her front steps many years ago.
''She was very alert and always saying hello to everybody who went past,'' she says. ''I remember stopping to talk to her. She said: 'My family want me out and into a nursing home. But I'm staying here till the day I die.'''
Later, after media reports of Wood's death, people left flowers on the front steps and footpath.
''It was a bit late,'' Gregory says. ''These days, nobody knows anyone. It's a throwaway society. Everything is recyclable, even people.''

Vane became housebound with prostate cancer. In 2007, when Vane was admitted to hospital, Enid Davis asked police to help track down her sister-in-law. In 2011, two years after her husband's death, she tried again. Her solicitor met police at 139 Kippax Street with the key.
''Natalie was very much a loner,'' Davis said later. ''At times, I thought she must have sold the house and moved … She had told me that if she did ever move, she wouldn't bother letting us know.''
Davis was not the only one who stopped wondering about Wood's whereabouts. Energy Australia and the City of Sydney council each sent debt collectors to Kippax Street, with no response. Sydney Water sent out overdue notices over five years, from 2005, despite receiving nothing in return.
TheCommonwealth Bank and Centrelink, which stopped paying her pension in 2008 after there had been no withdrawals for years, also failed to realise something was amiss, says Detective Constable Andrew Wells in his statement to the coroner.
''If any one of these companies were able to identify the lack of movement by the deceased's financials, her body may have been located earlier,'' he says.
He has called for the introduction of a monitoring system to ensure such neglect does not happen again. Any such system will come too late for Wood.
Newlyn and Davis were the only two people at her funeral service in 2011.
''We just sat for a while and said a prayer or two,'' he says. ''I think now, 'Why didn't I do some checking earlier about where she

Nora was sitting in a chair on the right, gazing wistfully out the window. Jaune and Pyrrha were sitting on the lounge. Ren was nowhere to be seen.
Jaune and Pyrrha both jumped slightly as they saw Ruby and split apart. Jaune smiled his usual broad grin at Ruby and patted the cushion in between he and Pyrrha. Something about Jaune's grin pulled one onto Ruby's face. His smile had always been infectious. With nowhere else to sit in the room, it would have been rude to decline, so Ruby settled onto the lounge in between them.
Ruby offered each of them a grateful smile; Jaune returned it with a widening of his grin, but Pyrrha had already turned towards Blake. The sight of the back of Pyrrha's head wipedAnd after all the grief she'd given them up until now, she needed to find a way to thank them for all they did, and apologise for all she'd put them through.
Ruby squared her shoulders as she looked away from Pyrrha and shot Jaune another smile. As she looked away from him, she saw a look of relief pass over his face out of the corner of her eye. So Jaune had been worried too. I'll be fine, she told herself. I'll prove it to them.
As she looked around the room, Ruby remembered that Ren wasn't there. Nora seemed more reserved than usual as well, which was a little unnerving. Ruby had never seen anything break through Nora's usual hyperactive good cheer; it was hard to imagine what

swing, she managed to get the haft of Crescent Rose in the way and deflected the axe into the wall. Sparks flew as the metal grated on stone and the axe skittered off the hard surface, throwing Raud off balance. With no room to swing her weapon, Ruby jumped and slammed both of her feet into his chest. He stumbled back and Ruby gasped in pain, as if a sledgehammer had caved in her ribs.
Yang lunged and threw a punch, which Raud deflected before throwing his own quick jab. Yang easily side-stepped the blow and swung another fist, which landed solidly on his jaw and slammed him into the window.
Ruby gasped in agony as wrecking ball crashed into her face.
The glass shattered behind Raud, and he tumbled outinto the courtyard below. He landed on both feet and glared up at the window, as if daring them to come down.
Yang threw herself out to meet him. Blake turned to Jaune and Pyrrha and told them to find other faculty members, as well as the school's security. It was important to catch him alive. Ruby was the next one out the window. A flash of agony tore through her side as she fell, and, unable re-orient herself in time, she crashed to the flagstones with a pained grunt.
Yang and Raud were a few metres away, sending up sparks with every blow exchanged. They were evenly matched enough that neither of them ever hit a solid blow on each other's bodies; only the merest of glancing scrapes. The

In Flaw Abiding Citizen Joey, and readers, finally get many of the answers they've waited so long to find out. But, sometimes those answers bring up even more questions...
I've enjoyed The Worst Detective Ever Mystery Series since the very first book. Every mystery, every quirky character, and every crazy situation that wonderfully flawed Joey finds herself stumbling into. I've ridden the highs and lows with her as she has searched for her dad, tried to straighten her life out, and has had two very different men in the wings, oh, and we can't forget that she has also stumbled over bodies at nearly every turn.
Flaw Abiding Citizen felt much like a satisfying conclusion to the series butsingle crime. But can she sort through all the various story lines to get to the truth? Or will one blooper after another put not only the investigation in jeopardy but her life as well?
ISBN-13: 978-1978345430
As answers come, Joey only has more questions...
Joey Darling really is The Worst Detective Ever, but, that is precisely why I love this series, and her, as much as I do. Her life is messy, she gets herself into the absolutely craziest situations, she's funny and frequently clueless, and she drives Jackson crazy with her stunts. But, oh, that's what makes this series so much fun to read!
Blooper Freak, all of the books have such fun titles, is the 5th book in the series and a delightful addition. It's a screwball comedy and
