at the Hôtel des Ventes auction house in Geneva from 10 to 13 December. More than 3,000 lots will be offered for sale. Their total value is estimated at 3 million Swiss francs. The majority of items are property of descendants of the royal families of Europe and Russia.
The session will be inaugurated on December 10 by the Russian lot which consists of previously unknown letters as well as photographs of the Russian imperial family.
As experts say, it is a question of unique letters, written by Nicholas II at the time of the First World War. These were addressed to his uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholayevich, commander of the imperial army until 1915. This correspondence are considered important military historical documents. If the participation of Russia in thewar is at the heart of the literature, it is also the question of how the Tsar himself felt, constantly worried for his army.
Other letters written by Tsar Alexander II addressed to Princess Catherine Dolgorukova will also be presented. These 46 pages of love letters are estimated between 5000 and 8000 Swiss francs.
In addition, 100 lots of photographs including images of Tsarevich Alexei in his childhood, and the Romanov family circle will no doubt arouse the curiosity of collectors. These include the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich performing on the trapeze, or playing croquet with his sister, Olga Alexandrovna. Other photographs are show Grand Duchesses Olga and Anastasia Nicholayevna as children. Watercolours painted by Olga will also attract collectors.
The majority of documents are from the collection of Ferdinand Tormeier,

of the wall. Tucker grabbed
Haggard by the neck, drug her out of the trailer, and put her in his automobile. Another individual
named Ken Palmer was also in the automobile.
Tucker drove down several country roads and at one point slowed down enough for Haggard to
jump out of the automobile, at which time Tucker caught up with her and started beating her. Tucker
put her back in the automobile and told Palmer to get in the back seat with her and instructed him to
break Haggard's neck if she tried to escape again. Later Tucker stopped the automobile on a bridge
and with the aid of Palmer started beating Haggard again. Thereafter, they placed Haggard in the
trunk of the automobile.
A short while later, Tucker and Palmer took Haggard out of the trunk, puther back in the
automobile, and took her to the Lodge Apartments in Jackson, Mississippi. Tucker forced Haggard
to telephone his mother and Haggard's daughter, Ryan, and tell them everything was fine. During this
time, Haggard attempted to place a telephone call to 911 but did not speak because Tucker was
standing right beside her.
Tucker and Palmer then took Haggard to a body shop on Lynch Street in Jackson, where both
Palmer and Tucker worked. Haggard went to use the restroom and as she was coming out, the police
arrived.
Ryan Haggard, Annette's oldest daughter, testified. She stated that on September 17, 1994, her
mother was talking on the telephone when Tucker arrived. She testified that Tucker knocked on the
trailer window and told Haggard he needed to talk with her. Ryan testified that Tucker came around

and
shortly after that Robinson found Haggard. After Detective Robinson's testimony, the State rested.
The first witness for the defense was Lionel Tucker, Tucker's second cousin. He testified that at the
time of the incident he had been renting this trailer to Haggard. He stated that he gave both Haggard
and Tucker keys to the trailer, but on cross-examination, he admitted that he did not know whether
Tucker still had a key.
Next to testify for the defense was Mary Tucker, Tucker's sister. On direct she testified that in her
opinion Tucker was not a violent person. During cross-examination, the State asked her whether she
remembered that her brother had been arrested for assault on a police officer and simple assault. She
testified that she remembered his arrests, but that no one had been a saint alltheir lives.
Last to testify was Peggy West, a person who had dated Tucker for about a year and a half. She
stated that Tucker treated her nice and that he had never been violent with her. On cross-examination
she testified that she did not know how Tucker treated Haggard.
The jury found Tucker guilty of kidnaping and burglary of an occupied dwelling.

Tucker states he had a key to the trailer, that he and Haggard had lived together until shortly before
the incident, and he and Haggard had a child. He claims that he had both express and implied
authority to enter the house because he had a key. Therefore the element of breaking and entering the
house of another was not proven. A reading of the record does not support Tucker's argument.
Haggard testified that Tucker no longer had any belongings at the trailer, that he no longer had a key
to the trailer, that he was not paying rent, and that he did not have permission to enter the trailer.
Ryan Haggard testified that Tucker was no longer living there, and that no one rightfully present
wished him to enter the trailer. Both Haggard andmember Hunt on several bases: first, he lived in the immediate area in
which the crime was committed; second, he was not responsive; and third, his questionnaire was
incomplete. The State challenged panel member Daniels for two reasons: first, that he was not
responsive; and second, he had submitted an incomplete questionnaire. Tucker argued that both Hunt
and Daniels's questionnaires were complete. The trial court allowed the challenges. The trial court,
experienced in conducting voir dire and having observed the demeanor of Hunt and Daniels and the
other prospective jurors during the voir dire proceedings, was in the best posture to decide whether
this reason given by the State was legitimate rather than pretextual. This Court has held that a circuit
court's decision in this matter is entitled to great deference, and we will reverse the

Demystifying China's mobile advertising market
BII A former Yahoo and Amazon employee, and current marketing VP at mobile ad exchange Inneractive, has published an analysis of the Chinese mobile publishing and advertising market in TechCrunch. The article touches on the market's competitive landscape, the ambitions of local players, and the opportunities for international firms. In particular, the author highlights growing demand for Chinese publishers to monetize traffic overseas, creating a golden opportunity for Western ad tech firms to lend a helping hand.
China's online oligopoly. Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, together referred to as BAT, account for 73% of the Chinese online ad market, according to an eMarketer analysis cited by TechCrunch. Baidu registered 667 million mobile users for its search engine in June, Alibaba mobile active users is at 427spending per person in APAC, which is at $15 per capita, compared with $165 in the US and $95 in Europe.
Journey to the West. The search for high value users has caused some publishers to bypass their home market entirely, electing instead to launch in the US or Europe. Popular millennial app Musical.ly, which is partly-owned by Beijing-based Cheetah Mobile, was developed and launched in the US in 2015. Apus, an Android launcher for personalizing a mobile OS's UI/UX has more than 900 million downloads, 30% of which emanate from the US and Europe. Marketing products in the US also plays into recent migration flows. China was the leading country of origin among 1.2 million immigrants counted in the US in 2013, according to Migration Policy.

extending through the susceptor and a wafer is mounted on the upper ends of these lift pins. Thus the wafer can be moved up and down by vertically moving the lift pins. The lift mechanism of this type permits a wafer carried on a blade of a carry robot to be transferred onto the susceptor or, inversely, it permits the wafer to be brought from the susceptor to the carry robot.
In the conventional wafer support apparatus as described above, the lift pins are located at the position below the upper surface of the susceptor during supporting periods of wafer. Therefore, when the lift pins are moved up in order to lift the wafer from the susceptor, the upper ends of the lift pins hit the back surface ofcomprising a wafer support body having a support area for supporting a wafer, in an upper surface thereof; and a plurality of lift members, each extending from the outside to the inside of the support area of the wafer support body, having a slope surface sloping downward toward the inside, in an upper surface, and being vertically movable between a lower position and an upper position with respect to the upper surface of the wafer support body.
The lift members replace the conventional lift pins. They do not touch the back surface of the wafer but touch only the lower edge in the periphery of the wafer, because of the setting positions of the lift members and the slope surfaces of the upper surfaces thereof. Therefore, the back surface

of wafer can be prevented from being damaged. Since the upper surfaces of the lift members increase their height with distance from the center, it is also feasible to suppress the positional deviation in the horizontal direction.
The lift members are preferably formed integrally with an internal peripheral edge of a lift ring of an arcuate shape disposed outside the support area.
In an effective configuration, the lift ring is provided with claw members kept in a vertically movable state and at respective positions adjacent to the lift members and the claw members are arranged to be separated and lifted from the lift ring when the lift ring is located at an up position. In this configuration, the claw members located at the position higher than the wafer can preventthe wafer supported by the lift members, from moving horizontally.
Further, a cross-sectional shape of the upper surfaces of the lift members along the circumferential direction of the support area is preferably an upwardly convex curve. This permits the lift members to be brought into point contact with the wafer.

Review/Opera; Pavarotti and Vocalism Star in Met's 'Rigoletto'
By DONAL HENAHAN
Published: November 6, 1989
If there is such a thing as a singer's opera, ''Rigoletto'' qualifies. With its inexhaustible stream of familiar arias, duets and larger ensemble numbers, culminating in the famous quartet, it is the Verdi work most likely to attract the fancier of pure vocalism, the operagoer who votes only with the ear. Those single-issue fans had plenty of reason to cheer at the Metropolitan Opera on Friday evening, when a new production of ''Rigoletto'' paired Luciano Pavarotti with a newcomer to the company, June Anderson.
Fortunately, vocalism was not the only story. Both singers used their artistic sensibilities to create character and to summon emotion from music rubbed smooth by generations of mindless performers. In this, Mr. PavarottiMr. Pavarotti more snugly than that of the licentious Duke of Mantua. One grown inured to the crudities of style and tone that pass for vocal excellence nowadays heard his first few notes and settled back, happy to realize that the Italian tenor is not yet an extinct species.
Mr. Pavarotti's Duke, however, was more than a tenor; he was a complex character, reminding one that cruelty is often the other side of a sentimental nature - Hitler, you remember, sincerely loved his dog and Eva Braun. ''Questa o quella'' was not barked out like a declaration of sexual warfare but thrown off elegantly, with the air of a man who cultivates seduction as one of the fine arts. In ''Parmi veder le lagrime,'' Mr. Pavarotti's Duke revealed himself

with her mom's statement, but Matt chalked it up to nerves.
Living in the same house with her parents wasn't easy.
Though Aiden seemed a little out of spirits, he excused any lack of appetite to the
ache in his knee. Since he had popped two pain pills into his mouth before breakfast,
it was a plausible claim.
It took Daniel a few minutes to wake up and smell the coffee, and Matt discovered
the poor guy wasn't a morning person. Dan struggled to join the conversation, helped
the twins reach the orange juice pitcher, and kept remarking at how quickly morning
had come. Though he looked like he needed more sleep, he turned down the offer to
stay home from church.
Today, it seemed, everyone was going. Even Ethan.
It shouldn't have surprised Matt when the church congregationmet him and his family
with rounds of congratulations and gifts of money tucked into wedding cards. That
his marriage came out of nowhere and surprised many, was an understatement; that
people viewed Beth as a kind of hero for marrying Matt and helping to care for the
children, was generally accepted, though not a few kept glancing at them to discern
any other feelings. Feelings more tender than that of simply rescuing the Taylors.
Now that the Taylors had been rescued, Matt hoped their attention would soon move
elsewhere. All this scrutiny was making him nervous.
Jerry Westhaven, who owned the car dealership across the street from Beth's Garden
Nursery, and who had been the one responsible for sending Matt to find work with
Beth, seemed especially pleased by the way things worked out. He kept pumping

co-ordinated market economies like Germany or Sweden
Spain has now become a significant player on the international stage, involved in a host of both diplomatic and military initiatives. However, opinion polls have shown that the Spanish population on the whole does not want it to be, as reflected, for instance, in the hostility to the Iraq war and the ousting of the Aznar government following the 11 March bomb attacks in Madrid
Spain has experienced real political modernisation and social transformation since the return of democracy. However, several senior figures in the governing Partido Popular are thought to be linked to Opus Dei, and the Catholic Church has in recent years sought actively to influence day-to-day politics. At the same time, racial tensions and immigration have started to become keypoints of friction
Democratisation has brought about a radical political transformation. However, the weight of history hangs heavy, with a growing emphasis on issues of historical memory, the need still to come to terms with the Civil War, and the issue of responsibilities. This has been reflected most obviously in the controversies elicited by the campaign to uncover Francoist mass graves that started to gain momentum in 2002 and continues to generate tension following the Law on Historical Memory that was passed in October 2007.

storm raged in Buffalo until Tuesday. While only 12 inches of new snow fell, the wind created drifts that finally topped out at 30 feet. Some areas even banned snowmobiles, as one rider was injured in a collision with a chimney on top of a house and the high drifts caused low clearance issues with power lines! Some towns even resorted to using metal detectors to locate buried cars before plowing the roads.
The Sabres next scheduled home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs was also postponed while the city was still recovering from the paralyzing drifts, meaning the Sabres went two weeks without a home game. Additionally, the Buffalo Braves of the NBA postponed four of their scheduled home games.
In all, there were 29 storm related deaths inWestern New York, 11 of those in the City of Buffalo. Nine of those unfortunate people were found buried in their cars.
Today's featured jersey is a 1976-77 Buffalo Sabres Bob Sauve jersey, the style worn in Montreal the night 15 intrepid Buffalo Sabres managed to escape storm ravaged Buffalo to take on the defending Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens and hold them to a 3-3 tie.
Sauve was a rookie with the Sabres that season and went on to play nine seasons in Buffalo which included winning the Vezina Trophy with Don Edwards in 1980 and the Jennings Trophy with Tom Barasson in 1985.
At the time the Sabres were only in their sixth season and this was still their original jersey style with the tie-neck collar, no logos on

Defendant then ran out the back door of the hotel and into a parking garage, where he shot at a policeman and an unmarked police car. He was finally shot in the leg by police and apprehended. Defendant had approximately .10 percent of alcohol as well as a significant amount of morphine in his blood at this time. He was also unable to recall the circumstances surrounding the offense. The three psychiatrists who examined defendant at the request of the defendant's attorney testified at defendant's hearing upon sentencing that defendant was substantially mentally impaired at the *30 time of the offense, and that he did not know the nature and consequences of his acts due to generalized, soft brain damage.
Priorto trial, a motion in limine was filed to preclude introduction of any references to defendant's juvenile record. The court denied this motion, and the trial proceeded. No part of the juvenile record was ever introduced.
At trial, sanity was an issue and the facts of the murder were not seriously contested. The State presented its evidence, calling fifteen witnesses over a three day period. Defense counsel vigorously cross-examined all the State's witnesses. After the State rested its case, defense counsel announced that rather than present any evidence on behalf of the defendant, he would also rest his case. Defendant stated in court that he strongly opposed counsel's decision, and submitted a motion to have his attorney dismissed and a new attorney appointed. The court denied that motion. The

harassed by other athletes at a meet in Moscow.
Crimean gymnast Anna Rizatdinova, who still competes for Ukraine, saw firsthand how her country slipped into turmoil while she trained in Ukraine's capital, Kiev.
As police clashed with protesters against then-President Viktor Yanukovych - eventually resulting in over 100 deaths - officials urged Rizatdinova to stay away from training for a month for her own safety.
When shots rang out in Kiev one afternoon, Rizatdinova's coach Irina Deriugina led a hurried evacuation of young gymnasts from a hall near the Maidan square, where protesters were camping.
Soon after, Yanukovych fled the country and was replaced by pro-Western politicians. Russian troops took control of Crimea and local pro-Russian politicians staged a vote which reported a much-disputed 96 percent of Crimeans voted in favor ofjoining Russia.
Rizatdinova was competing in Hungary on the day of the vote. ''They took my homeland,'' she says. ''I fell apart at that competition because all my thoughts were with my parents.''
Since then, Ukrainian troops have fought in the east of the country against Russian-backed separatists, while the Kremlin has integrated Crimea into Russia. In the sports world, political tensions run high enough that soccer officials have prevented Russian and Ukrainian teams from playing each other in European competitions.
Rizatdinova, who'll compete against Russian gymnasts in Rio, says her inspiration for the Olympics is a fellow Crimean from the Tatar minority, pop singer Jamala, who won acclaim across Europe with her victory for Ukraine in last month's Eurovision Song Contest.
''I'm aiming to prove that, yes, I'm from Crimea and

I compete for Ukraine and I raise the Ukrainian flag,'' Rizatdinova says, the Olympic rings on her necklace. When Jamala won, ''it gave me more strength and confidence in myself. I sat by the TV and imagined being at the Olympic Games.''
Slender with broad, powerful shoulders, Rizatdinova is putting the final touches to her routines, including a Brazilian samba-themed performance. While she trains in the Ukrainian capital Kiev at an academy which has produced many champions, her mother remains in Crimea, coaching gymnasts for the Russian sports system.
''It's not important which flag'' her mother's young students compete under, Rizatdinova says. ''The most important thing is that they have a future.''
At a small, rainy athletics meet outside Moscow, former European champion javelin thrower Vera Rebrik was trying to rebuilda career thrown into turmoil by her decision in 2014 to switch from Ukraine to Russia.
Little has changed in Rebrik's day-to-day routine - she still lives in the Crimean tourist city of Yalta, has the same coach and keeps in touch with old friends on the Ukrainian team - but her Olympic dream was put on hold until the International Olympic Committee ruled earlier this month she could represent Russia internationally, despite Ukrainian officials requirement for a three-year ''quarantine'' period for athletes switching allegiance.
Sporting a close-cropped blond haircut and a red Russian national team jacket, Rebrik says she's ''satisfied, happy'' with the IOC ruling. But it may not help. Russia's entire track team was suspended from international competition last year after revelations of widespread doping, and unless that

Don't Panic: collected together in the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy are the five titles that comprise Douglas Adams' wildly popular and wholly remarkable comedy science fiction series, with a special introduction from the author.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyOne Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea.The Restaurant at the End of the UniverseWhenall questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about.Life, the Universe and EverythingFollowing a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons.

rugby giants. The previous two World Cups, in 1987 and 1991, saw South Africa banned as punishment for Apartheid.
Some critics joked that Invictus was the first ever film in which Matt Damon played someone other than Matt Damon. But Damon's portrayal of Springboks captain Francois Pienaar met well with Morgan Freeman's role as Mandela. The film brought to life the relationship between these two men, a white Afrikaaner and a black former political prisoner, amidst the heavy inertia of the country's brutal history.
Together, Pienaar and Mandela, through rugby, took on the task of reuniting the country amidst the quiet efforts of Mandela to reconcile black aspirations with white fears.
And while there is no written account of the original meeting with Nelson Mandela and Francois Pienaar or the conversationwithin, it is believed that Mandela met with the country's rugby captain, to ask him to inspire his team toward winning the '95 World Cup at home.
Before the start of competition the Springboks, South Africa's national rugby team, toured Robben Island. In the film, the team captain visits Mandela's old cell.
In truth, winning the Rugby World Cup was no easy task. First, South Africa had to face the defending world champions, Australia, in a match few thought they had a chance to win. Worse yet, a new behemoth within the sport, the mighty New Zealand All Blacks, had been on a winning rampage since the 1991 cup and were believed to be totally unbeatable.
But to the surprise of both the visiting teams and the rugby elite, inspiration and

more than 20 yards from a projecting rock. At this juncture one of the crew, a Maltese, named Joseph Rogers, nobly volunteered to struggle through the heavy surf and convey a rope on shore. Though it was not believed by any one that danger was imminent, the captain gave the order, and Rogers ably fulfilled his duty. A strong hawser was then passed and secured on shore, and to this was rigged a boatswain's chair. While this was going on a fearful scene was being enacted in the saloon. An attempt had been made by a Mr. Hodge, a clergyman, to perform a service; but the violent thumping of the vessel on the rocks, and the sea which poured into the cabin, rendered this impossible. The passengers werecollected here, and Captain Withers and Captain Taylor were endeavouring to allay their fears by the assurance that there was at any rate no immediate danger, when a succession of tremendous waves struck the vessel and absolutely broke her in half amidships. Shortly afterwards the foremost portion was again torn in half, and the ship began to break up rapidly. Several of the crew saved themselves by means of the hawser, while the remainder were hurled upon the rocks by the waves; all the officers perished. Captain Taylor was the last man seen alive on board. He had lashed his body to a spar and was drowned. The whole number saved out of the 498 persons on board was 39.

Queens Park Rangers are closing in the signing of former Swansea midfielder Jonathan De Guzman, Sky Sports understands.
Holland international De Guzman is back at Villarreal after a successful two-year spell on loan at Swansea.
Swansea boss Garry Monk recently revealed he is not expecting de Guzman to return to the Liberty Stadium and Queens Park Rangers are now thought to be leading the chase for his signature.
Loftus Road manager Harry Redknapp is looking to bolster his midfield options and he is thought to be a big admirer of De Guzman.
The 26-year-old is thought to be keen on returning to England and QPR are hoping to lure the Dutchman to Loftus Road.

separate from the boot leg is provided and is drawn against the calf by a tightening strap fixed to the tibia side part of the leg. However, unlike in the first-mentioned construction, no use is made of a tibia side tightening device, in order to produce the tension required for a smooth tightening of the skiing boot in the instep region. Instead a pressing and tightening part is arranged in the instep region and this is connected by at least one tightening cable to the pivotable calf part. This connection, in which the tightening cable is connected in the heel area to the pivotable calf part ensures that on pivoting the latter against the skier's calf and by tightening the tightening strap, the tightening cable is tensioned. Thus,the instep side pressing and tightening part is firmly drawn onto the instep and onto the skier's foot, leading to the complete, playfree connection between the skiing boot and the skier'foot in the instep region which is necessary when skiing.
The common feature of the two aforementioned, known constructions is a tensioning member, which transfers the tightening movement for the complete playfree tensioning of the skiing boot in the instep part. In these two constructions, the tensioning or tightening element is at least one tightening cable guided by means of guides, and which is operated in the first-mentioned construction by the tightening device of the tibia side and in the second-mentioned construction by the pivotable calf part.

Aucklanders are being asked which tracks in the Waitākere Ranges they think should be next in line for upgrades so they can be reopened.
Photo: RNZ / Dan Cook
In May last year, the Auckland Council decided to close the ranges, to try and stop the spread of kauri dieback disease.
That came several months after the local iwi, Te Kawerau ā Maki, imposed a rāhui over the area.
Since then, the council has been upgrading certain tracks, to protect kauri roots and ensure people's feet don't spread the disease through the area.
The popular Kitekite Falls track reopened on Boxing Day, after a complete refurbishment.
Some tracks that were already up to a high standard were kept open.

The Black Ships - First in the series
Our planet was just one small island in the midst of a vast, empty sea. For millennia, its inhabitants thought they were alone - until they took their first tentative steps out of the cradle. As the nations of Earth struggle to establish a fragile colony on the surface of Mars, they suddenly lose all contact with their settlers.
In the days that follow, it becomes abundantly clear that humans are not the only ones intent on exploiting the resources of the solar archipelago. In a desperate bid for freedom, Humanity must undergo social and economic changes on a scale previously unheard of.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing video signals generally, and more particularly to an improvement of a video signal erasing means for erasing the recorded video signals on a track formed beforehand in a magnetic disc.
2. Description of the Related Art
In this type of apparatus, the erasing processing to erase the recorded video signals on a track on a magnetic disc has been accomplished by overlapping a new erasing signal on the video signals to be erased on the track.
In this conventional apparatus, however, in the case when the track position accessed by reproducing head deviates from the absolute track position recorded, the signal portion on the deviated part of the track is not erased in executionis hard work, often thankless and modestly paid, much like the military. It requires an adaptive, innovative mind coupled with a love of learning and classroom management skills. Only one of these traits is best nurtured in the modern college of education. This century will demand more of teachers, and the NCTQ study offered few surprises in reporting that colleges of education are not ready for that challenge.
In this century more teachers will learn about child development in psychology departments and history from history departments. The diminished role of education colleges will discomfort a few of my colleagues in higher education. The rest of us: students, parents and teachers will benefit from the change.

for pure joy at seeing him, for since the battle with King Lisuarte
and King Cildadan, when she was at Fenusa she had never seen him, and
though she had now no thought of ever having him for her husband, yet
he was the Knight in the world whom she loved best, and for whose sake
she would willingly risk her person and her kingdom; and when she
let him go she could scarcely speak for joy. Many thanks do I owe to

more welcome than ever, for great pleasure will the sight of

Quadragante, who, to do Gandalin honour, came forward and embraced him

of knighthood, as you have manifested all the virtues and good parts
of a good Squire. I believe it will be so, for good beginning for the

thanking him for the honour. Lasindo also was knighted by the hand of

and endured such dangers and such toil, that they in this great battle

ingratitude; and had he been in Mongaza when the island was given to
his uncle, he could never have consented that he should receive it,
having been vanquished, but would have given him another such lordship
in his father's kingdom. When they were now so near that they only
waited for the trumpets to sound, that they might begin the attack,
they saw a Squire come riding full speed from the army, who enquired
with a loud voice if Amadis of Gaul were there? Amadis beckoned to him

some of the besieged to the ramparts, who knew the two Knights, and
without delay opened a portal and admitted them.
The Princes hearing the outcry, hastily arose, and when they heard that
these Knights were come to their help, and that the Queen their mother
was living, of whom before they had heard no tidings, whether she were
alive or dead, they were greatly rejoiced, and the town's-people also
took heart; so the Knights were lodged in the Palace, and disarmed,
and then went to rest. Meantime there was a great uproar in the Duke's
camp, the whole army were alarmed, and it was day before the tumult
subsided. The Duke questioned the Knights, and they said they had seen

The great Hollywood actor and icon Robert De Niro may not have had a great beginning to his acting career, as he waited for 5 years for his first film to release in the year 1969, but he certainly had a dream run, once he finally got down to show his works to the world. The multiple Academy Awards winning actor, Niro gained momentum, once he was superbly received by the audiences and critics alike in his 1974 film The Godfather II, where he played the iconic role of Vito Corleone, which won his the Academy Award for the Best Supporting Actor. Around the same time, Niro also began his long work relationship with the famous director Martin Scorsese with the film Mean Streets. The hugely successful andrespected Niro earned his Academy Award as the Best Actor for his role in Scorsese's film Raging Bull. Robert DeNiro continued to rule the box office and the audiences' minds in the decades to come, as he appeared in over 90 films. In early 90's he also turned to direction with his film A Bronx Tale. He also produced, directed and acted in the 2006 film The Good Shepherd. Over the years, his notable films include The Deer Hunter, Midnight Run, Brazil, Meet the Parents, Once upon a time in America, Heat, Men of Honour, Limitless, and quite recently The Silver Linings Playbook, for which he received an Academy Nomination.

Horus, Atys, Memnon, they all were put to death and rose from the dead, and descended to hell to save the sin-imprisoned souls of men.
Whence this close similarity so clearly indicative of a universal tradition in connection with the birth, work, and death of all saviors? One of the ways in which the Great Lodge taught infant humanity was to cast in myth or legend form the lives of these Sons of Light. The ancient biographies of the external personalities bearing the names of Great Souls are the mystic records of their public, and parallel therewith of their inner lives, in their characters as Neophytes and Initiates. Hence, the manifest sameness of the means of construction of their respective biographies. However much masked and hidden from profane gaze,one or more symbols the verities of the first two. Localities are made to correspond with astronomical and even with psychic events. Thus arose in the ancient world myths truer than history, for the latter dealt with events on the planes of action, and the former narrated the happenings in the world of Soul.
Among such myths was one about the Great Sacrifice of the Master-Soul who renounced his freedom to accept the woes of bodily birth, the self-chosen incarnation of the Lord of Compassion for the sake of Orphan Humanity. The central fact of the mystic life, that every human Soul sacrifices himself and is crucified on the fourfold cross of matter, is but a variant of that same profound truth. This fact the Lodge impressed on the

General Sir William Howe
In 1774, General William Howe ran for a seat in the House of Commons as representative of the largely Whig constituency of Nottingham. He assured the electors, who would not have tolerated any other attitude, that he, like the more renowned General Jeffrey Amherst and Admiral Augustus Keppel, would refuse to serve in a war against England's American colonies. But while publicly disapproving of military action against the colonists, Howe privately let the British ministry know that he was available.
Early in 1775, the General confounded the voters of Nottingham by accepting the position of second-in-command of British forces in America. 'I cannot easily describe the discontent and disappointment which appears among a great number of your constituents here,' a Nottingham grocer wrote to General Howe,'on account of your accepting a command in the expedition against our American brethren. . . . Judge, if you can, the confusion this occasions among your friends.'
The Nottingham voters were not the only ones puzzled by General Howe's contradictory behaviour. For two centuries historians have tried conclusively to unravel the mysteries of Howe's role in the American Revolution. Some believe that the General, an acknowledged advocate of a peaceful reconciliation with the colonies, agreed to serve in America so that he could personally guarantee that military force was applied with a delicate hand and diplomatic concessions were given a fair try. Others are equally sure that General Howe's conciliatory stance was nothing more than pre-election posturing aimed at winning him a seat in Parliament.
William Howe was one

of three brothers in a family that had played a major role in defending the liberties of the American colonies. During the Seven Years' War the eldest brother, the 3rd Viscount George Augustus Howe, had died leading a combined force of British and American troops against the French fortress of Ticonderoga in northern New York. In recognition of his sacrifice, the grateful colony of Massachusetts had raised 250 to commission a memorial to the 3rd Viscount in Westminster Abbey.
William, the youngest brother, had also fought against the French in North America, leading the assault on the Heights of Abraham that had assured General James Wolfe of victory at Quebec.
Whether William, in 1775, saw himself primarily as warrior or a peacemaker, he clearly still considered himself a friend tothen the first shots of the American Revolution had already been fired, and American militia besieged Boston. Outnumbered, the British commander-in-chief, General Thomas Gage, had waited patiently in the city for the arrival of the transports that were bringing Generals Howe, John Burgoyne, and Henry Clinton, with about 5,000 fresh troops from England.
The four generals conferred over plans to break the siege, but before they could act the rebel army occupied Breed's Hill on Charlestown Peninsula. From their fortifications on the hill, the colonists presented a challenge that the British generals across the bay could not ignore.
The next morning, warships of the Royal Navy bombarded Breed's Hill while General Gage and his subordinates debated their options. General Clinton favoured a landing behind the rebel fortifications to trap the

|
colonial militia and force it to surrender.
General Gage disagreed with Clinton's strategy, which was bold but risky, and instead adopted a more conservative plan proposed by Howe. British troops would land near the tip of Charlestown Peninsula and make a frontal assault on Breed's Hill and its supporting positions. Howe expected that the untrained colonial militia would run from the attack or that they could offer only a feeble resistance that would easily be overcome. Instead, the man who had advocated peaceful reconciliation was leading his troops into one of the bloodiest battles of the American War.
By nightfall more than 1,100 British troops and 400 provincial militiamen had been killed or wounded on the slopes of Breed's Hill. In the attack, the town of Charlestown had been destroyedby British naval gunfire and Joseph Warren, the popular President of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, had been killed. General Howe was stunned. The battle had made the possibility of a negotiated settlement much more remote by increasing the fury of the colonists while at the same time giving them confidence in their ability to fight the King's regiments on even terms.
In the aftermath of the battle, Generals Gage and Howe agreed that it would not be possible to conduct the war from Boston, and they put renewed emphasis on an often-discussed strategy of transferring the British army to New York. The decision was delayed, however, until March of 1776, when the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Washington, forced the British to evacuate Boston by fortifying the heights

south of the city and threatening to bombard the garrison with his artillery.
By then General Gage had been recalled to England, and Howe had assumed the overall command of all British forces in America. After regrouping in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he sailed with his army to Staten Island, New York, arriving on 5th July. George Washington, anticipating action in New York, had already marched the Continental Army south from Boston and occupied Manhattan and Long Island.
Before the inevitable showdown began, General Howe was joined in New York by the third of the Howe brothers, Admiral Lord Richard Howe, who carried a number of official appointments. The Admiral's primary assignment was ostensibly the command of the North American squadron of the Royal Navy, but he had also been giventhe authority to act as a peace commissioner and to negotiate, within very narrowly defined limits, with the rebels. From the Admiral, William Howe learned that he had been named as the other member of this two-man commission.
The General had become disillusioned at the prospects for a negotiated peace, but the Admiral was still determined to exercise his military duties only after the peace commission had been given every chance. His role as diplomat, though, was bound to be a frustrating one. Parliament had not authorized the Howes to negotiate, but only to extend a pardon to any rebels who submitted completely. In effect, the British Ministry had empowered them to do nothing more than accept the Americans' unconditional surrender.
The colonists did not fail to discern this, and

|
the hard line the Howes had been instructed to take only united the rebels in their opposition to Parliament. Also, while the Howes' dual roles as both warriors and diplomats enabled them to exercise restraint in enforcing a military solution to the problem, it also made them suspect in the eyes of their American counterparts. General Washington reasoned that when the diplomats were also generals, there was sure to be 'little Negotiation of the Civil Kind.' As a result, the peace commission accomplished nothing.
When it became obvious that only military force would break the stalemate, General Howe turned his full attention to the occupation of New York. With the arrival of yet more reinforcements, he believed his army was strong enough to successfully assault the rebel defences. Butwhile he was fairly certain of his ability to achieve a military victory, a policy of moderation still directed his actions. Howe opposed the advocates of force who could not see past the short-term goal of suppressing the rebellion. Devastating the colonies, he believed, might compel their submission, but it would render them useless to the Empire. Only by demonstrating Britain's overwhelming military strength without permanently embittering the colonists could he restore America to its function as a cooperative and profitable British dominion.
In planning his offensive in New York, therefore, Howe ignored his own often-stated belief that the quickest way to end the war was to destroy the Continental Army. A bloody victory now would not serve his purpose. Instead, he adopted a strategy of conquering ground rather

than killing colonists. His strategy was to discourage the rebels by mounting a steady, irresistible advance through their farms and fields and forcing them from New York in much the same way he had been compelled to leave Boston.
The campaign began on 22nd August, with British troops landing at Gravesend on Long Island. The American defences on the island consisted of a strong line of earthworks at Brooklyn, supported by a number of regiments that guarded the passes through a row of hills that lay between the principal British and American forces. For five days British regiments reconnoitered these positions and found that the easternmost pass through the hills was guarded by only a handful of scouts.
On 27th August, a British column marched unopposed past this weakly defendedflank, while portions of the army made a diversionary frontal assault. Nearly 1,000 rebel troops were cut off from the relative safety of Brooklyn and forced to surrender. But rather than continuing his attack by storming the main American lines, General Howe satisfied himself with what he had already won.
Some of the General's subordinate officers and some Members of Parliament later criticized Howe's decision, believing that a timely assault might have ended the war. The General, however, had much to consider before launching such an attack. Many of his regiments were still weak from their recent voyage to America. Following a long march and heavy fighting, he sensed that they were exhausted. He also remembered the fight on Breed's Hill the year before, when 3,000 rebels had so

capably defended hastily erected earthworks against well-rested troops. Now he faced nearly 9,000 defenders in much more extensive entrenchments. When General Howe looked toward the rebels on Brooklyn Heights, he probably pictured the bloodbath he was determined to avoid.
Rather than risk the consequences, the General opted to lay siege to the colonists and force them to surrender. Time was an effective weapon to use against the rebel forces. In four months, Howe knew, most of the colonial troops' enlistments would expire and General Washington's army would most likely put down their weapons and go home. If he could prevent anything that might give new encouragement to the colonists, Howe had a chance to win the war without fighting another battle.
During the night of 29th August, however, the entirerebel army was able to escape under cover of fog across the East River to Manhattan. With the possibilities of a crushing military victory or a more subtle form of persuasion gone, Howe returned to his strategy of relentlessly pursuing the Continental Army wherever it went, hoping again to demonstrate the hopelessness of its cause. From Long Island, General Howe forced the rebels from Manhattan, across the Hudson, through New Jersey and to the banks of the Delaware River, not far from the colonial capital of Philadelphia. Here, General Washington's foresight in taking all the boats on the river to the far side with his retreating army forced an end to the pursuit.
Despite numerous setbacks throughout the summer, William Howe was still close to victory. In December, General

Washington wrote that the Continental Army, apart from the troops scheduled to leave for home on January 1, was 'Reduced so much by sickness, fatigue, etc. as in the whole not to exceed, but fall short of, 1200 Men. Upon these and the Militia, is all our dependence, for you may as well attempt to stop the Winds from blowing, or the Sun in its diurnal, as the Regiments from going when their term is expired.'
General Howe made plans to return to England for the winter, hoping, perhaps, that by spring there would be no need to return. He had already been knighted for his victory on Long Island, and there was every reason to be hopeful that he would soon receive credit for having ended the rebellionwithout undo loss of life on either side.
Perhaps another week of good fortune would have allowed him to achieve his goal. But on Christmas night Washington crossed the Delaware River with his small army and the next day surprised Britain's German allies at Trenton, taking nearly 1,000 prisoners. Then, after pleading with his troops to stay just a few days past the end of their enlistments, he outwitted General Charles Earl Cornwallis and defeated three British regiments in Princeton, taking more than 400 additional prisoners.
The rebel victories, though small, destroyed General Howe's hopes of ending the war by spring. Encouraged by George Washington's success, new recruits came forward to replace those who left his army. The British commander-in-chief abandoned most of New Jersey, along with his plan to

there were several skirmishes, from which
Stuart Oliver emerged, but he could do nothing about the reigning
champion's lead. Coleman completed the podium ahead of race one
winner Brereton and Jenkins.
The final Division 1 race was a tense battle, with Oly Janes
doing his best to defend from the championship's finest. For many
laps he led a train of trucks that included Summerfield, Smith,
Jenkins, Oliver, Brereton and Coleman. Such was their pace that
Taylor, shuffled down the order early on, almost caught on to the
pack.
Whenever Summerfield tried a move, Smith was ready to pounce,
with Jenkins and Oliver poised to make their moves. With just a
couple of laps left to run, Janes ran wide at Druids and pulled off
the road on the run to Graham Hill bend, letting everyone past.
Smith tried every move to win,but Summerfield, one of the best
defensive drivers in the championship, held him off to take his
first win of the season.
A frantic start to the Division 2 races saw another masterclass
from Mika Makinen as he made up many places to challenge early
leader Brad Smith. A retirement for Joanne Eason at Druids
interrupted the action, but after a restart Makinen made short work
of taking the lead, fending off an attack from Simon Cole before
heading off into the distance.
Cole held off Tony Smith and a fired up Adam Bint for the
runner-up position, the trio lapping within a second of each
other.
The final Division 2 race of the weekend also fell to Makinen,
once again working his way up the field during another frenetic
encounter. However this time reigning champion Bint made his task a

While she writes her short stories or novels, she often talks to her parents Amar and Tia Lahiri about immigrant experiences, and the significance of Bengali festivals and cultural life.

My novel encompasses 30 years in the life of a family, and what Mira has made is a 110-minute-long film. You cannot have everything from a novel into a film unless it is a television serial. Books are earthbound entities, and we read them whenever we have time. A film, on the other hand, seems more ethereal, and should be able to old our attention from start to finish.

Nearly 100 former University of Iowa employees are disqualified from returning to work because of previous firings, but only a handful of ex-workers at the state's two other public universities face similar restrictions, according to records released Tuesday.
Spreadsheets released by the Iowa Board of Regents show that the universities have fewer disqualified former workers than Iowa's executive branch, which last month released a list of 975 people with that status and withheld the names of 500 others. The documents also show that each university has a different way of tracking and excluding fired workers, and those methods are different than the state agencies' procedures.
The University of Northern Iowa says it can identify no former workers who have been disqualified

she crumpled soundlessly to the floor.
I bounded to her side and called her name again, but my shouting was as futile as my attempts to comprehend what was happening. Somehow, and I remember not a moment of it, I gathered her up and staggered to the room we shared. I laid her down in my bed. Her breathing was stertorous and loud. It blew in long, forceful blasts from only one corner of her mouth, and it flapped her cheek out like a buffeted wet sail each time she exhaled from that noisy bellows somewhere down deep in her throat. I can't recall which side it was, but one entire half of her face seemed toneless and flaccid. I rushed to the phone and called a doctor whosethe developed countries of the world, as listed by the World Health Organization.

But that figure represents the entire spectrum of our citizenry. As people age, their propensity to stroke naturally increases.

the defence should be able to cope with what they create for themselves and hopefully Koevermans is sufficiently motivated to get TFC on the board at the other end of the pitch. Long suffering fans have a trophy at least, it would be nice to get a point before the break as well.
Scott Kessler, Managing Editor, The Brotherly Game, Philadelphia:
Last week the Union played Dallas in Frisco in a very physical game that resulted in a flurry of cards. New signing Michael Lahoud, arriving at Philadelphia in the Califf trade, was very lucky not to see red for two bookable offenses in the first half, one of which was a tackle that injured Pertuz. The Union actually came from behind to equalize through Gomez and even though Okugohad a chance to win the game for Philadelphia, I suppose we have to be happy with a point on the road. But it's time to start winning games. One positive sign was a decent goalkeeping performance by Chase Harrison, in for Zac Macmath, who had played in every other game this season.
Cup week next week and the Union have their first ever home Open Cup game, so there may be one or two changes for the Saturday afternoon visit to Toronto, though Nowak has promised to play his first team. The fans hope the team are taking the cup seriously after one season of disregarding it and one where a full strength side was knocked out by DC United. But the home game may be a gesture

Piggott, Hot Time in Old Town, Whiskey Brothers Aught Five, Chicago:
The Fire come into the Columbus match on the back of a hard-fought win at home against Dallas Wednesday night. Dallas took the lead, but just like so many of the games this season, the Fire turned the result on its head, coming from behind to win 2-1. Frank Klopas has the team playing really well over the past couple of weeks with Patrick Nyarko looking particularly impressive. The team is also not relying on forward Domenic Oduro to score all the goals. Marco Pappa and Sebastian Grazzini both scored Wednesday, taking some pressure of off Dom.
Though Columbus haven't had a great season to date, they head into Saturday's match on a high after beating Seattle in Seattleon Wednesday, a rare occurrence indeed. At times against Dallas the Fire played much too narrow, with Pappa darting inside allowing space for Segares to get forward but then failing to get the ball to him in an advanced position. This will need to be rectified against Columbus. Pavel Pardo got a well deserved rest on Wednesday night but I expect him to be starting in the middle of the park on Saturday. With the Fire playing so well, they are due a 3 or 4 goal win sometime soon. Let's hope it happens Saturday night at Crew Stadium.

Revs to play at their own tempo. This match will serve as a big test for the Revs who have played well enough at times to be talked about with the top teams in the league, however they have lacked the consistent results to garner the attention that their improved play might have deserved. A win at a DC club that has been playing great soccer for the last month would serve as an announcement to the MLS that the Revs are a club to be reckoned with.

Sofiane Benzaza, Mount Royal Soccer, Montreal:
The Montreal Impact and its fans have awoken with a hangover called the New York Red Bulls. It was a game where the referees were the stars of the game for the wrong reasons. With 2 suspect penalty calls for each team and an apparent offside on NYRB 2nd and game-winning goal, the game had a weird feeling to it even though everything seemed normal. In control of the game at the beginning of the 2nd half, the soccer gods smiled on the Impact and the NYRB's were down 1 man after Victor Palsson accumulated his 2nd yellow card of the game and got sent-off. Montreal had a 1-man advantage for at least 30 minutes. And this is where it went wrong:

10 minutes later Dane Richards scores the game winning goal on a counter attack and that was it. Montreal continued to push and played with desperation but the Red Bulls held the fort as regret and frustration was felt at Stade Olympique.
Trying to forget the game as soon as possible was important for the team, but without forgetting the lessons that need to be learned. As the team travels to Denver to face the Colorado Rapids, Jesse Marsch needs them to continue their focus on winning the team and get maximum points before a long 3-week break. The defensive sector has been a satisfaction for the club with Nelson Rivas and Matteo Ferrari taking care of business since they formed a pair. The offensive sector has been lackingfull 90 and a few games. Draftee Darren Mattocks has amazing speed to burn and once he finds his scoring boots he'll pot a few goals in this league, and with a few tweaks our team should do just fine.
And then disaster: we lost to Toronto, of all teams, on Wednesday in the Canadian Championship. The boys put in a lacklustre effort and TFC deserved to win. Here's hoping that, in contrast to TFC, we do fine in the league.
This has been a difficult runs of games for the Caps, playing the cup games sandwiched by big games against our Cascadia rivals. We're heading to Portland for Saturday, in what should be a raucous affair. Portland have found a bit of form, the Timbers Army is always up

Chapter 30: The United Nations, Yugoslavia, and Switzerland - June 20 to August 22, 1941
The events between the War in the West and the beginning of Unternehmen Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union, can be described in two major sections. The first section, the events unfoldingbetween June 20 and August 22, 1941 will be discussed in this chapter.
On June 23, 1941, the United States of America formed what it called the United Nations, a new alliance meant to replace the defeated Allied powers. While no other nations joined the alliance immediately, every nation in the world that wasn't a member of the Axis or Comintern began to prepare their citizens for the global war they felt was imminent. This universal attitude was due to the complete defeat of the Allies, a general fear of the Axis, and the fact that the United States, the very symbol of isolationism, had finally broken out of its shell and became involved in international politics. The Axis as a whole took a moment to reflect on what

The first full week of the NFL regular season schedule has been completed, giving us our first real look at this year's first-round rookies. While some of the 32 first-rounders saw plenty of action, others did not qualify for a grade either based on small snap counts or not playing altogether yet some rookies with large snap counts impressed.
Through Week 1 of the 2018 season, here are how each of the 32 first-round rookies from the 2018 NFL Draft has graded in their first professional action:
2018 SEASON GRADE: N/A
The Browns told us that Tyrod Taylor would start Week 1, and that's exactly what happened. However, in his first regular-season start for the Browns, Taylor struggled, and his performance will have done nothing to quieten those wanting Mayfield tostart.
2018 SEASON GRADE: 59.7
The Jaguars managed to subdue Barkley for a good portion of the afternoon, but he did have his moments, and sometimes, that's all he needs. He broke five tackles on 18 rushing attempts and averaged a mightily impressive 5.28 yards after contact per rushing attempt, the highest mark among backs with at least 15 carries.
2018 SEASON GRADE: 67.2
The Sam Darnold era in New York started in the worst way possible on Monday night, when the rookie signal-caller threw his very first pass across the middle of the field into the waiting arms of safety Quandre Diggs, who returned the ill-advised pass for a touchdown. Darnold quickly recovered from his nightmare start and ended his regular season debut with an adjusted completion percentage of 85.0 percent,

Community united for historic anti-extremism rally
Emdad Rahman
NOT IN OUR NAME! Not in our city! That was the collective slogan as a group of Muslims and non-Muslims from across London came together to participate in a silent rally at Whitechapel followed by a march to London Bridge. The events were held to oppose all forms of hate, extremism and in solidarity with the victims of terror attacks globally as well as domestically in London and Manchester.
Fasting Muslims in the holy month of Ramadan marched with and alongside people of other faiths and none and fellow Londoners to deliver a simple message:
London is our home.
Not in our name.
Not in our city.
The London Muslim Alliance had formed recently to encourage members of the general public to make a stand and showto Whitechapel after a two minute silence at London Bridge. As the sun set over London, the throngs of citizens broke their fast in Altab Ali Park before joining the congregation at the East London Mosque for dusk prayers.
Attendees on the walk included Tower Hamlets Cabinet Member for Community Safety Councillor Asma Begum; Mesba Ahmed, CEO of London Tigers; former Tower Hamlets Councillor and member of the Metropolitan Police Authority Abdal Ullah; Mizanur Rahman and Shah Yousuf from LB24 TV, which covered the event live; Syeda and Sirajul Choudhury; Anfor Ali; former Councillor Dulal Miah and Salam Jones.
The London Muslim Alliance was set up by young Muslims from various backgrounds as a direct response to the London Bridge atrocities.

Monday night at about 9:02 p.m., Smithville Police Officers Randy King and Brad Tatrow responded to Wal-mart in answer to a shop lifter complaint. Wal-mart employees suspected two females of shoplifting. Officers ran a warrants check on the two women, Lisa Piles and Patsy Estes and learned that Piles was wanted in Warren County for a worthless check, but there was no evidence of shoplifting by either of the women. Piles was taken into custody but Estes was released.
According to Lieutenant Leffew, during the investigation of Piles and Estes, the Wal-mart manager approached the officers and advised that there was another person in the store suspected of shoplifting.
The manager reported that the man, Atnip, had allegedly stuffed some things into his clothing. Lieutenant Leffew says when the officersapproached Atnip, they noticed that he appeared to be intoxicated, but he denied having any Wal-mart merchandise on him. Atnip began emptying his pockets and did not produce any merchandise. However, when the officers conducted a pat down search of Atnip, they found some Wal-mart merchandise inside his pants. They also found a syringe, a tourniquet, and a small silver container with pills believed to be Xanax and Dilaudid.

offense for which he had been convicted in 2000 in Warren County. Trapp was also charged with vandalism of the window. Trapp's bond was set at $12,500 and his court date is set for February 21st.
On Saturday, 36 year old Micheal Joseph Foster of King Ridge Road, Dowelltown was charged with no driver's license and theft of property over $500. Sheriff Ray says on February 4th, Foster allegedly took $850 from a purse at a residence on Hurricane Ridge Road, Dowelltown. Then on February 7th, Foster was stopped on Gentry Avenue in Smithville for a traffic violation and was found to have no driver's license. Foster's bond was set at $5,000 and his court date is February 21st.
Members of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched toa reported structure fire around 5:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon in a remote area of the county off of Adamson Branch Road in Liberty.
Two cabins, belonging to Walter J. Gordon of Florida, were destroyed but firefighters managed to keep the blaze from reaching three other structures nearby also belonging to Gordon including another cabin, a storage outbuilding, and a three bay garage.
Chief Donny Green says that although the Liberty, Temperance Hall, and DeKalb County Fire Department Main Station responded with pumpers, firefighters could not get equipment to the scene due to the poor access drive that led approximately one mile through a wooded area to the location where not only one, but two cabins were fully involved and threatening three more structures nearby. The fire had also spread into

the wooded areas on each side of the steep ridge where the structures were located.
Green says firefighters were able to gain access with the department's brush truck and called for mutual aid assistance from Cannon County's Short Mountain and Eastside Fire Departments who responded with 4 X 4 brush trucks.
Although the two fully involved cabins were totally lost, Green says firefighters did manage to prevent the other three structures from becoming involved. The DeKalb County Fire Department's Wildland Task Force also worked in coordination with the Tennessee Division of Forestry to contain and extinguish the fire.
Chief Green says that in spite of the problem of having very poor access for firefighters and equipment, the department did a great job, working with Tennessee Division of Forestry and Cannon Countymutual aid departments, in minimizing the additional potential losses to the other threatened structures and the many acres of woodland that became involved. He says the department located the owner, Walter J. Gordon, who uses this property as a secondary home and has his primary residence in Florida. No one was at the premises at the time of the incident and no one was injured.
Smithville Police recently arrested a man for impaired driving and found him with an unlabeled prescription bottle containing pills believed to be Xanax.
Lieutenant Steven Leffew says Officer Matt Holmes arrested Steve Hale and charged him with a second offense of driving under the influence and simple possession of a schedule IV controlled substance.
According to Lieutenant Leffew, Officer Holmes responded to Mapco Express to investigate

a complaint of a possible impaired driver. Upon arrival, he found a vehicle matching the description and saw the man slumped over the steering wheel. As the officer approached the vehicle, the man sat up and began attempting to place the keys into the ignition, but was unable to do so. Upon speaking to Hale, the officer observed that the man's speech was very slurred and he appeared to be disoriented.
The officer asked Hale to step out of the vehicle and he was asked to perform sobriety tasks. He performed very poorly on all tasks and was arrested for DUI. Upon a pat down of his person, the officer found a pill bottle on Hale containing seventeen and a half small blue pills believed to be Xanax.

I received a box from my aunt of letters my mother had sent her over the years. Each letter detailed events from her life and the lives of her five children. They gave me great insight into how my mother regarded our development into adults and our various achievements along that road. With five children our family hummed with activities. My two oldest brothers did a year or two of Little League, but for the most part we were the science fair, poetry contest, film competition kind of kids. I did ski competitively for a few years, which I loved and which took me to some interesting locations, but I also did forensics, writing contests, flute, piano, and guitar, singing, and acting, excelling at only a few ofSports medicine across Missouri: interviews with Dr. Paul Meyer and Dr. Stanley London.

Flames and smoke as a major bubble of methane explodes causing another massive sinkhole in Russia's Yamal Peninsula
Photo yournewswire.com
Locals say they saw flames and smoke as a major bubble of methane blasted below the surface and created another sinkhole in the Russian Arctic peninsula.
Reindeer herders in the area of Seyakh, a village on the eastern coast of the Yamal Peninsula in the morning of June 28th reported the incident to the local authorities.
They say that they from the distance saw flaring flames and a column of smoke from the area, TASS reports.
It is believed that the explosion took place place about 30-40 km from Seyakh.
Russian space authorities have been requested to localise the exact site of the incident.
The Yamal Peninsula covers a more than 700km long area between the Gulf of Ob and the Kara Sea and is among Russia's least populated regions.
It is inhabited mostly by the indigenous reindeer herding Nenets people and a gradually increasing number of oilmen.
It is not the first explosion of its kind.
Over the last years, several major methane blasts have occured in the gas-rich peninsula.
In 2014, a major sinkhole was discovered not far from Bovanenkovo, the area which houses one of Russia's biggest natural gas fields.
That has a diameter of up to 60 meters.
There are at least ten known sinkholes in the Yamal Peninsula, as well as about 250 lakes and numerous offshore structures which indicate similar phenomena, Interfax reports.
It is not rare that the sinkholes are triggered by methane explosions with fires and smoke,

as hate speech and bit the male victim in the thigh while threatening to give him AIDS. The two women yanked the victim around by the hair, causing a scalp wound.
Then on Thursday, June 27, a transgender woman was shot in the buttocks, also in the NE, in what police believe was an attempted robbery. Two men approached the woman, asking for a light. Then one of the men pulled off her wig. The 22-year-old victim then turned to flee and was shot while attempting to do that. She then dropped her purse, which one of the men stole.
At 3:30am, June 30, a transwoman accepted a ride in the NE and then was sexually assaulted. Then at 4:05am another transwoman was shot by apparent robbers. Police said theattempted to escape and, in doing so, struck the police officer
and kicked a store employee in the face. As a result, Acosta was arrested and
charged under state law with grand theft, identity theft, battery, battery on a law
enforcement officer, and resisting arrest with violence.
Per a joint recommendation between the government and Acosta, Acosta
admitted all violations, except for battery on a law enforcement officer, which
reduced the statutory imprisonment range from fifteen to twenty-one months to six
to twelve months and a day. During the revocation hearing, the district court
expressed its concern that two of the underlying offenses involved the same conduct
for which Acosta was originally sentenced. Acosta took responsibility and
expressed remorse for his actions, noting that

down the flaps provided at the rear periphery of the main wings and then use the reverse thrust of the jet engines to reduce speed. Further, and the wheel brake can be used only after the speed is greatly reduced by the air resistance of the flap, thus necessitating a long running distance.
Normally, on take off an airplane having fixed wings, supported by a landing gear, utilizes the thrust force of the engine; however, it requires a long runway to reach takeoff speed.
At the time of landing, the airplane descends by gradually reducing engine power and then lands on the runway using the landing gear. At this time, the stationary tire touches the runway with a great impact, and generates white smoke, when beginning to turn, due tothe shock of landing causing heat adhesion to the runway and also damage to itself.
Airplanes, which are the fastest means of transportation, to meet with the growing demand for international transportation in shorter times, are being designed in larger sizes for long-distance flights and a larger airplane needs a longer runway, consumes a larger volume of fuel, and generates more noise in the vicinity of the airport.
The present invention solves the foregoing problems by providing a compact, high-torque, high-speed drive unit/pneumatic actuator for the wheel unit of an airplane landing gear to secure safety at the time of takeoff and landing. At the time of taking off, the drive unit/pneumatic actuator of the present invention accelerates the airplane with a strong torque and, at the time of landing,

complaint, plaintiff alleged in pertinent part that he and defendant entered into a contract on October 20, 1980, under which he was engaged as defendant's exclusive agent to sell a parcel of real estate located at 523 South Plymouth Court in Chicago; that two offers to purchase at the stated price were tendered to defendant, who failed to respond to the first offer and rejected the second offer; and that, because he had obtained a ready, willing, and able purchaser, he was entitled to the 5% commission stated in the listing agreement. Three documents were attached to the complaint. The first was an exclusive listing agreement signed by both parties which *257 stated that plaintiff was to receive a 5% commission when he secured a purchaser who wouldinterested in a cash sale, and that they talked about the possibility of an installment plan, but he insisted that they never reached any agreement on what the precise terms thereof would be. Defendant also stated that he did not respond to plaintiff's telephone calls or letters regarding the February 18 offer.
Plaintiff stated in his deposition that defendant told him when they first began negotiations that he did not want a cash sale, preferring to minimize his capital gains by financing the sale over a 10-year period. At a meeting on October 20, 1980, they agreed to all the terms recited in the listing agreement, and those terms were filled in before either party signed the agreement. On February 18, 1981, an offer to purchase for $650,000 was

listing agreement.
The trial court noted that neither offer was in compliance with the terms set forth in the listing agreement. Under the first, defendant was to receive $18,000 less during the initial 10-year period by virtue of the amortization of the purchase money mortgage over 29 to 30 years rather than the 25-year period specified in the listing agreement, and that the offer further provided for a 6% rather than a 5% commission. The second offer was similarly nonconforming, since it was a contingency contract for purchase on a cash basis when defendant had specifically informed plaintiff that, for tax purposes, he preferred to finance the sale. The trial court granted summary judgment for defendant, ruling that under those circumstances plaintiff was not entitled to a commission, andof the listing agreement, since defendant accepted plaintiff's allegation as true in his argument.
4 Plaintiff also asserts that there was a factual dispute regarding whether defendant responded to two offers which preceded the February 18 offer, both of which were for less than the $650,000 asking price, and whether defendant responded to the February 18 offer. In their depositions, plaintiff stated that defendant did respond to the first two offers, rejecting them as too low, while defendant said that he never responded to either offer. Similarly, in his verified complaint, plaintiff alleged that defendant failed to respond to the February 18 *261 offer, but defendant denied this in his verified answer. We note that the parties suddenly reversed their positions in their sworn depositions, with plaintiff stating

The transaction was closed in Anderson, South Carolina, by a simultaneous exchange of checks. Ballentine Motor Company owed Investment $46,400 at that time. On that date Investment made a loan to Ballentine Motors of Georgia, by checks deposited to the account of the latter in Carolina National Bank at Anderson, in the amount of $126,000. On the same date Ballentine Motors of Georgia issued two checks to Ballentine Motor Company in the aggregate amount of $130,056.71 and these were deposited to the account of Ballentine Motor Company in the same bank. On the same date Ballentine Motor Company issued two checks to Investment for an aggregate amountof $130,000 and these were deposited to the account of Investment in the same bank and credited to the account of Ballentine Motor Company on the books of Investment. These lots were thereafter, until January 1, 1955, treated on the books of Ballentine Motors of Georgia as its own and the net profits from their sales during the period from June 15, 1954, to January 1, 1955, are profits which the Commissioner has allocated to Ballentine Motor Company in 1954.
After these purchases of inventories, bills of sales for cars sold at the Anderson and Columbia lots were executed in the name of Ballentine Motors of Georgia. Separate ledger sheets were set up to record the transactions of the three separate lots. Expenses incurred at the lots after such

Nothing was paid by Ballentine Motors of Georgia for these leasehold improvements or other fixtures or equipment and Ballentine Motor Company and Ballentine's continued to claim depreciation and amortization of the assets throughout the year 1954. The leases under which Ballentine's and Ballentine Motor Company occupied the car lots in Anderson and Columbia were not transferred to Ballentine Motors of Georgia but the latter paid the rent on these lots after the purchase of the respective used-car inventories.

All by an organization that was simply to insure reliable and secure money supply. So rather than serving we people, instead the Federal Reserve has not only been a failure in monetary policy and controlling inflation, it has literally been an instrument of tyranny on the populace and a parasitic drain on national finance.

Plaintiff limited partners do not contest the evidence which supports the conclusion that during the time of ownership the general partners have successfully managed the operation of the shopping center and converted annual losses to annual profits. In round figures the general partners purchased in their own names the HLP obligation of approximately $570,000 in exchange for approximately $300,000. For this reason only plaintiffs sued for an accounting, a dissolution of the partnership, the appointment of a receiver and damages. The circuit court in a court tried case found no breach of fiduciary duty and denied the related relief.

This may or may not occur depending upon the wishes of the holder of the note when due.
During the time plaintiffs managed the shopping center they did so at a loss. After the limited partnership was reorganized defendants, as general partners, made sufficient changes in the shopping center and the tenants to increase the rental income and provide an operational gain.

enjoy any battle even though when he's at the point of losing. He is usually seen with a pinch of a smile on his face and will try not to make an enemy out of anyone. As a mature warrior, as he addresses himself, he carries around a book in his hand which will show his interest in reading and also being plain mature. Helix hates when he is denied. He won't fight but will back down and try another day. Even so, he doesn't give up easily, he will show quite a challenge if facing him in a battle and surely he is someone which may blow your mind out of surprises.
History: Being born in a most wealthy family, Helix showed no highly personality whatsoever. His fatherwas a business men and his mother was a famous model. They lived out in the outskirts of Snowpoint City in a mansion. Helix was greatful about his life but he didn't have any friends, which everyone avoided because of his wealth, up until he experienced a pokemon battle. It thrilled his heart with anticipation which lead him of becoming a trainer or even more.
As of being so wealthy, his house contained a whole collection of adventurous books which touched him deeply thus becoming fond of having his own pokemon. His parents saw his excitement grew as he, himself, grew older, 13. After reaching the age of 14, Helix had received the most top notch knowledge on nearly all kinds of pokemons and he declared that he was

chooses to roll up his sleeves.
As for his general wear, Cas prefers to wear light clothes as he doesn't see much use in wearing a lot of clothes to just show off. So he is usually seen wearing a black unfluffy and loose fleece with gray stripes on his shoulders. Under that fleece, he wears a plain t-shirt with a flying bird motif splattered across the front and back in a rainbow pattern. Casimiro wears black shorts to match his fleece, and it has deep pockets for whatever he chooses to carry around with him, usually his smartphone and an ID card from his old school. He also wears knee-high black socks, coupled with bright green running shoes. There is also a No matter the weather, Cas willeach other and Casimiro will risk pretty much anything he has for them. He is a bit selfish and makes a lot of his decisions based on what he wants. He also has the tendency to boast a lot about his accomplishments which leads to a lot of the fights he often gets himself into.
Casimiro also has a bad gambling habit. If he sees any kind of card game like poker or craps, he'll join and take a lot of risks. Sometimes it turns out well for him, but more often than not, it doesn't and he loses a lot of his things. In addition to that, Casimiro loves to snowboard a lot because of his family's history. He owns his own snowboard, which currently resides on the

person there. He packed his bags, and thought about staying for his father. Before he left, his father gave him a present: his favorite Diglett. He named it Douglas, and had a heartfelt moment with his father before he left, and departed for the Celestia region.
Appearance: Slim and with a very well-built body. There's a beard beggining to grow in his face, as well as a moustache. His hair is a deep black, and his skin is slightly tanned. His normal clothing consists of a long sleeve blue V-neck with a black jacket over it, a pair of denim jeans, and a pair of black sneakers for his footwear. His eyes are of a deep-sea blue, and his height and weight are of 5 feet, six inches and140 pounds, respectively.
He has a belt with slots for his Pokeballs, ad he's always carrying a white, small bag where he puts those items he finds or purchases, as well as his Pokedex, but since he's always carrying excessive amounts of items, he has a hard time finding mainly anything.
Personality: He's afraid of expressing his emotions, so he'll be cold and distant most of the time, and sometimes mean even when he's not wanting to be that way.
Despite this, if someone manages to take that cover out of him, that person will find that John is a kind person that cares more about everyone's safety that he does for himself, he dislike using Pokemon as weapons, and he's always releasing those who's help he doesn't need anymore.

deeply for Pokemon, be it his or others, and thus he'll do anything for their safety, even if it involves risking his life.
He's somewhat of a scaredy-cat, being afraid of mostly everything, he has a hard time trusting other people, which explains his lack of friends. He's slowly trying to become more sociable and brave, with nothing but a few results thus far.
History: Son of Elsinor Requiescat and Julliene Drent, a wealthy couple that rarely spent time with his son, and thus was always buying his love whenever they weren't in a social meeting. John grew with no attachment towards his parents, and thus decided to become cold and distant towards them.
Not knowing what to do, his parents decided to give him a Pikachu, hoping that being friendswith a Pokemon would help him become more sociable, the results; an anti-sociable kid with a Pikachu.
His parents kept looking for something that could help their soon to make more friends, but they eventually had to give up. They decided that staying with some relatives for a while might be the best thing for John, and thus, they sent him to a region called Celestia, where John will meet with his uncle, Leopold, but his parents apparently forgot to tell him where this person would be, or where he would be arriving.
Not knowing where he was, John just kept wandering around a small town, hoping to find his uncle, instead he found a woman with a Swellow, a Professor it seemed. After speaking with her for a while,

Or at least she thought it was abandoned. She was completely unaware that there were Grimers and Muks living there, and when she entered, the Pokémon saw her as a trespasser and confronted her. She was eventually found and rescued by her parents, but she was never the same after that.
After the incident Laurie built this wall around her heart, and became the rude, mean, aggressive person she is today. Her parents also became more protective of her, and wanted her to get a Pokémon of her own for her protection to prevent something like that from happening again. Since she was unable to get a Pokémon from Oak's Lab in Pallet Town, and Prof. Solaria was giving away Pokémon, they sent her there to get one.
Starter: Charmander
Nickname:Curt
Proof of reading: evil, Lunara, Nova. Those are the words.
Other: Nothing else to say.
Personality: Evangeline is a very sweet and kind girl, but she has low self esteem. She's aspiring to be a young Pokemon Professor and has many hopes for her journey in Celestia. Evangeline though doesn't care if she wins or loses in the Celestial League in the long run. She just want's to do her best. If she loses a battle she'll just heal her Pokemon, go over what she observed and then have a rematch. She loves to make friends and will be nice to almost every person she meets. The exception is people who harm others or Pokemon. If she sees someone who wants to harm others she will do her best to

put a stop to it, even if it puts herself in danger. Evangeline's favorite colors are black and lavender, and she loves to draw.
History: Evangeline was born and raised in Nimbasa City in the Unova region. She enjoyed the amusement park in Nimbasa, watching battles at Elesa's gym gaining a strong love for electric type's that didn't go away after an accident when she was seven. When she was seven she was watching a battle in the gym and when the opposing Pokemon deflected Zebstrika's Thunderbolt attack the bolt of electricity hit Evangeline. Most people were surprised that it didn't kill her. But ever since that day she was able to understand Pokemon. Evangeline decided when she was 15 that it was time for her to start herPokemon Journey but instead of journeying in Unova like everyone else she went to the new region Celestia eager to start her journey there.
Appearance: Rafael is about five feet and six inches tall. He usually wears a light blue T-shirt that slightly resembles his Light blue eyes. He wears some blue jeans that fit him perfectly. He wears some light blue sneakers that are a little bit big on him. He has a Red ring on his finger that was from his friend from the Unova Region. His blonde hair usually covers his eyes but that is rare.
Personality: Rafael is generally a sweet boy especially when around girls. He is also very shy so he doesn't talk much to anyone unless they talk to him first. The best

thing about him though is that he is very caring and protective to those he loves. You can usually see him looking up into the sky at night but at day when he walks he looks at the ground. He can be mean when you get on his nerves which isn't easy. Rafael tries his best to be nice to people when he first meets them but as son as he tries to talk to them his shyness kicks in and he can't talk. He is usually very loveable and is not a germaphobe. It takes a little bit to make Rafael trust you though which usually leads to him getting easily hurt. He also develops crushes on girls way to easily which leads to him getting hisheart broken easily. He is also very loyal to his friends no matter what happens he will always be loyal.
History: When Rafael was a young boy he lived in the Unova region next to a girl named Alisha. The two of them grew up together and were practically best friends. They did everything together until the night that Alisha had left to try and become the Unova league champion. When she had left Rafael was about 13 and was already becoming slightly depressed so his family decided that they were going to move. On Rafael's 14th birthday Alisha had become the champion and decided to go back to Nuvema Town. Rafael was excited that was until his parents had told him that they were moving to the Celestia

Region. That meant he only had one night to spend with Alisha so he did and on that night they gave each other friendship rings. They promised that no matter what they wouldn't forget each other. He sort of wished that he had told Alisha how he felt before he left. But he didn't sadly and all that has to remember her by is the ring that she had given to him the night before he had left and one single empty Pokeball that he will never use. On the way to the Celesta Region he had remembered that he had forgotten something but it was already to late because they were already far away from the Unova Region.

Lily is a very gorgeous young ladyif you could say so, being the spitting image of her mother at her age, but with her father's hair color. She has silver to gray hair which she keeps into two pigtails, but leaving a bit of hair on the side of her forehead and in front. Her smooth hair is only matched by her beautiful eyes that are a very deep waterish color, you could say it is a mixture of blue and gray. Her skin is at the edge between Caucasian light and pale and has no bruises or scars from her treatment. She is usually dressed in a wheat/sandbank blouse which has a strange writing on the middle, but looks very fashionable. Over her blouse she has a black jacket that has white sleeves.

Wisconsin Indians have always been concerned about the environment. As people who have traditionally made their livelihoods from the land, this concern is understandable. But despite prevalent positive stereotypes, it would be an overstatement to suggest that all Indian people have always lived in total harmony with nature and with concern for it. Like other people, Wisconsin Indians used their environment and the resources it provided, sometimes in ways that would be considered harmful today. Indian people used their environment differently than Europeans and Americans who came later, and used it in ways that reflected their unique cultural practices. This holds true for contemporary Wisconsin Indian communities as well.
Before Whites came to Wisconsin, Indian people depended on forests, lakes, rivers, and prairies to supply their needs. Prairies andforests supplied game such as deer, elk, and bison, while waterways provided various species of fish. Great Lakes Indians also gathered plant foods such as wild rice, maple sap, nuts, and berries, and also planted crops such as corn and squash. The coming of Europeans changed some of these practices dramatically. Whites wanted to trade manufactured goods in exchange for furs, particularly beaver pelts. Indians began to hunt beaver and other species more intensively to obtain furs for the trade, and in exchange they received European manufactured goods such as guns, blankets, and metal cooking utensils. In the process, Wisconsin Indians seriously depleted many species in the state. Bison were no longer in Wisconsin by about 1700, and by the late 1700s elk were gone as well. By

mine was supposed to operate for about 25 years and would produce arsenic, an extremely toxic substance, as a byproduct. The Menominee have argued that this will poison the Wolf River, which is protected by federal laws because of its many important wildlife species. The mine would also endanger the lands and waterways of the Forest County Potawatomi, whose reservation is close to the proposed mining site, and potentially destroy lakes full of wild rice used by the Mole Lake Ojibwe by fouling the water. Wisconsin's Indian people are not alone in opposing the Crandon mine. Many non-Indian community and environmental groups in northern Wisconsin have also expressed concerns about the pollution the mine would cause.
Mining has energized Indian communities in other ways as well. In 1996, amining company wanted to transport a trainload of sulfuric acid to a Michigan copper mine. The train was supposed to travel through the Bad River Ojibwe Reservation, but the Ojibwe there initiated a nonviolent blockade to prevent the train from going through their land. The acid was to be used in copper mines in Michigan, but the Ojibwe feared this mining technology could potentially pollute Lake Superior. They ended their blockade 28 days later when the Environmental Protection Agency promised to study the ecological impact of acid mining on Lake Superior.
However, efforts of other Wisconsin Indian communities have not always been as successful, and new, ecologically hazardous mines have recently opened which threaten Indian communities. In Ladysmith, Wisconsin, the Kennecott Copper Corporation opened a large open-pit copper mine

this label showcase, their set consisted almost entirely of these new songs from the forthcoming album.
Gliss are a unique trio, in that all three members trade off on their three respective instruments. When they began playing, the set up had Martin Klingman on bass, David Reiss on guitar and Victoria Cecilia on drums. This was the same initial formation they came out to a year ago.
David Reiss is a particularly expressive guitarist, while Victoria's drumming has a strong, rudimentary power that belies her delicate exterior. On the new songs they debuted, David made wondeful use of a reverberated guitar sound. He is a dynamic, animated and exciting guitarist to watch in the live setting.
Despite the instrument changes, the band is essentially fronted by lead vocalist/lyricist Martin Klingman. Whileall three members share credit in writing all the music, the lyrics are solely the product of Martin's creative process.
The first instrument exchange had Martin and David swapping guitar and bass. Victoria's background vocals - which blend seamlessly with Martin's lead vox, provided an additional layer of richness to the sound.
Martin sings with a smooth, easy style - where he draws out the words. Its laid back, but dramatic at the same time. The music is spacious when he sings, leaving room for the words to resonate. On one of the new songs, David plays guitar lines that sound like something The Cure would play. In fact, the white guitar he plays looks identical to the one Robert Smith has been using for years. Then he goes off

time, he creates the now-infamous Scorpion logo, which is widely thought to represent a mistress under the astrological sign of Scorpio, but the answer to this secret is under lock and key. Regardless, Maurizio quickly sets in motion a spirit of innovation, enough so, that by 1977, he's the first to manufacture cycling shorts from Lycra. Needless to say, this achievement serves as the benchmark for today's cycling apparel.
Building off of the success of his Lycra shorts, Maurizio continued to shatter the mold of cycling apparel. Castelli created a windproof vest for Hinault's campaign at Fleché Wallone. It was also the first cycling manufacturer to use sublimation, which ultimately helped grow the sport of cycling by placing sponsors' logos onto the jerseys, tights, and jackets of the riders.And furthering this, through a major act of defiance, Castelli was the first to outfit teams in colored shorts. At the time of the 1981 Giro, only black shorts were allowed, yet Maurizio made waves in the community by outfitting the Hoonved Bottechia team in Scorpion-clad turquoise shorts.
Sadly, in 1995, Maurizio suffered a heart attack while ascending the legendary Milan-San Remo climb of the Cipressa. Though devastated, Castelli chose to rally around his philosophy of combining technology with innovative style and design, and in 1996, it worked with Paola Pezzo on creating the first women's cycling collection. Two years later, it introduced cycling's first wicking fabric treatment, Prosecco. And the next year saw Castelli's return to pro team sponsorship, leading to valuable rider input from ONCE, Team Brescialat,
