£33,500 for uninhabitable cliff house in Torquay Published duration 11 July 2013
image caption Tor Cottage, circled, is next to another house that has already fallen into the sea at Oddicombe Cliffs
A cliff-top house in Torquay, which has been deemed officially uninhabitable, has sold at an auction for £33,500.
Tor Cottage had a starting price of £25,000 - even though it would normally sell for around £400,000.
The property which was described as being in immaculate condition, sits on land which is prone to landslips.
Nearby Ridgemont House featured in national newspapers and on television because part of it has collapsed because of a landslip.
'Degree of risk'
Tor Cottage is yards from the edge of Oddicombe Cliffs in Torquay.
Torquay Council's prohibition order means it will not allow occupation until structural work is carrieddepth of 4,000 feet.
In April, 1948, the Carter Oil Company drilled, and completed for production, a well on said tract about 80 feet west of the center of said tract. Thereafter, May 17, 1948, Van-Grisso Oil Company and associates filed an application with the Corporation Commission for permission to drill a well on said ten-acre tract, as an exception to the Commission's rule 202, which without such exception, prohibited the drilling of another well below the depth of 2,500 feet. The application stated the matter of divided lease ownership; the drilling of a well by the Carter Oil Company, and alleged refusal of the Carter Oil Company to recognize the right of applicant to share in the production of said well, and asserted that unless permission were granted

November 23, 1948, the Carter Oil Company well produced 20,229 barrels of oil. The order of the Corporation Commission, not directly, but in effect, required the Carter Oil Company to account to Van-Grisso and associates for the one-half of the 20,229 barrels of oil produced during said period. It required the Carter Oil Company to reduce its rate of taking to ten barrels of oil per day until Van-Grisso and associates shall have equalized said production by producing from their well the difference between the ten barrels per day and the allowable for the unit, or as much thereof as the Van-Grisso well is capable of producing. During the first 23 days of November, 1948, the Carter Oil Company well produced at the rate of more than 100tract which, on June 22, 1948, was producing more than 100 barrels of oil per day. Van-Grisso and others did not commence their well until October 22, 1948, and did not complete it to production until November 23, 1948.
The Carter Oil Company continued to produce from its well, and during that 154 days produced and took 20,229 barrels of oil from its well. The effect of the order of the Corporation Commission is to say to the Carter Oil Company, you have, since June 22, 1948, taken from the common source of supply, 20,229 barrels of oil which you were not entitled to take because Van-Grisso and associates were entitled to take a like amount but were unable to do so. For that the Corporation Commission will now

she did not want her abilities questioned. She also kept her condition a secret from many of her close relatives, including her two children.

In the summer of 1993, Woo began to experience the severe symptoms of another potentially debilitating and fatal disease, systemic scleroderma.1 Her symptoms included severe fatigue, stiff joints, arthritis-like pain, and a loss of concentration and memory. She continued to work during this period, but her duties became increasingly difficult to complete and her performance progressively deteriorated. For example, Woo failed to complete a routine business action plan. Her failure to complete that project prompted a supervisor, who had previously viewed her as a solid and competent worker, to consider changing her job duties. Her condition also compelled herto discontinue her normal practice of bringing work home at night.
4
In an effort to conserve her energy, Woo significantly limited her non-work activities. For example, she moved her clothes and makeup downstairs, where she took naps in the family room to avoid trips to her second-floor bedroom. Her colleagues at Deluxe also noticed these physical problems. She no longer joined the others for lunch, she had problems using the stairs, she had trouble concentrating, she appeared tired and emotionally drained, she had difficulty completing her projects, and her gait had changed.
5
As these symptoms progressed, Woo visited various doctors. The record reveals at least ten consultations with physicians between April and November of 1993. During these consultations, Woo complained of common scleroderma symptoms, including,

Church apparently violated tax law, and the authorities' voluntary reduction of the Church's tax liability, raise questions about the merit of the CCK's allegations of harassment.
In July 1998, the Baden-Wuerttemberg minister of education supported the decision of the Stuttgart school district not to hire a Muslim woman for a teaching position in a public school because she regularly wore a traditional headscarf. The minister took the position that the scarf was a political symbol of female submission rather than a religious practice prescribed by Islam. The minister permitted the woman to conduct the practice teaching required for her university degree but argued that allowing a teacher to wear a headscarf on the job would violate the religious and political neutrality legally required of all civil servants, including teachers.The woman concerned announced her intention to appeal the decision in the court system. While the minister held that the political act of donning a headscarf was unacceptable for a teacher as a role model, thousands of Muslim students are free to wear headscarves in school.
There are numerous mosques throughout the country. However, in April 1998, in the Frankfurt suburb of Oberursel 100 Turkish families from a moderate Islamic group made inquiries about converting a building into a mosque. Local officials rebuffed the suggestion. At the time, the mayor commented to the press that no mosque would be built in Oberursel until a Christian church was permitted in Mecca. The refusal polarized the local Islamic community, and the Hesse Protestant Church's Ombudsman for foreigners was mediating the dispute.

However, in the interim city officials made a room available to the local Turkish community for use as a community center. Oberursel authorities said that they objected to the plan to convert the building into a mosque because the area was zoned for industry, not religious buildings, and because a mosque was already being built in the neighboring community of Bad Homburg. For the latter reason, the Islamic Federation in the state of Hesse saw no need to press further for a mosque in Oberursel. Turkish groups in Stuttgart also failed to get a building permit for the construction of a new mosque at a particular site or to convert an existing building into one.
The Church of Scientology remained under scrutiny by both federal and state officials whoand decided not to meet with the attorney. According to officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Charge of the German Embassy in Washington met with a Scientology representative in 1996, but no tangible progress resulted from the meeting. Therefore government officials concluded that it was not worthwhile to meet with Scientology representatives again, since they do not believe the Church has changed those practices that the Government finds unacceptable. Moreover, federal government officials believe that this issue is primarily one for the states to handle.
Some government officials allege that Scientology's goals and methods are antidemocratic and call for further restrictions on Scientology-affiliated organizations and individuals. For example, during a March 1999 meeting with a lawyer representing the Church of Scientology and members of the working group

to cover the cost of those repairs. In the case of the 1803 reforms, subsidies are paid out only to those buildings affected by the reforms. Newer buildings do not receive subsidies for upkeep.
The right to provide religious chaplaincies in the military, in hospitals, and in prisons is not dependent on the public law corporation status of a religious community. The Ministry of Defense currently is looking into the possibility of Islamic clergymen providing religious services in the military, although none of the many Islamic communities has the status of a corporation under public law.
The right to provide religious instruction at public schools also is no longer confined to religious communities with public law corporation status. In November 1998, the Berlin Higher Regional Court ruled that the IslamicFederation had to be given the opportunity to provide religious instruction in the Berlin public schools even though it was not a corporation under public law. The decision drew criticism from the many Islamic organizations that the Islamic Federation does not represent. The state of Berlin is appealing the ruling on the grounds that the Islamic Federation is not a religious organization. The state has expressed its concerns about the Islamic Federation's alleged links to Milli Gorus, a radical Turkish organization classified as an extremist organization by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The Turkish Union of Berlin opposes instruction by the Islamic Federation and supports the state of Berlin's desire to provide Islamic instruction in public schools.
There was no change in the status of respect

for religious freedom during the period covered by this report.
There were no reports of religious detainees or prisoners.
There were no reports of the forced religious conversion of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the Government's refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.
Relations between the various religious communities in the country are amicable. Several major political parties generally hold ecumenical religious services prior to beginning their national conventions. Religious organizations and political and educational foundations hold seminars and discussion panels to promote interreligious understanding.
Anti-Semitic acts decreased 14.7 percent, with 436 incidents reported in the first 6 months of 1998, compared with 511 during the same period in 1997. These incidents included, in part, 86cases involving distribution of anti-Semitic materials or the display of symbols of banned organizations, 26 cases of desecration of cemeteries, and 7 cases of bodily injury. In a case that received international attention, on December 19, 1998, a bomb destroyed the gravestone of Heinz Galinski, chairman of the Jewish Community of Berlin until his death in 1992. This was the second instance of vandalism at this site during 1998. While cases of vandalism against Jewish graves have declined nationally, Berlin experienced an increase of approximately 20 percent in anti-Semitic incidents during 1998. The overwhelming majority of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts were frustrated, largely apolitical youths and a small core of rightwing extremists.
U.S. government officials have discussed with state and federal authorities U.S. concerns about the violation of

individual rights posed by sect filters. U.S. officials made the point that the use of a sect filter to prevent persons from practicing their professions, solely based their beliefs, is an abuse of their rights, as well as a discriminatory domestic business practice. U.S. officials made this point clear at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Conference in Warsaw in 1998, during numerous meetings between U.S. embassy staff and federal and state officials, and during a visit to Germany in March 1999 by individuals from the State Department's Office of the Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, the Congressional Helsinki Commission, and the U.S. Institute for Peace.
In an effort to promote a dialog between German authorities and representatives of the Church of Scientology, the U.S.Embassy set up appointments in March 1999 in Bonn and Hamburg for a lawyer for Scientology with two members of the Bundestag, a member of the Hamburg state parliament, and the head of the working group on Scientology in the Hamburg Interior Ministry. U.S. embassy staff at the minister-counselor level encouraged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other ministries to meet with the attorney for Scientology, and the Deputy Chief of Mission intervened with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs policy planning office. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as other Federal Ministries decided not to receive the lawyer.

Separatist militants opened fire with automatic weapons on Muslim villagers in remote north-east India, killing at least 10 people and wounding four in two attacks, police have said.
Rebels from a faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland were behind the attacks late on Thursday, said LR Bishnoi, the inspector general of police in the Kokrajhar district of Assam state.
All of the dead were Muslims, he said.
The first attack took place in a village in Baksa district in western Assam, when at least eight rebels opened fire on a group of villagers sitting in a courtyard. Three people were killed and two wounded, Bishnoi said.
According to eyewitnesses quoted by local television channels, the second attack took place in Kokrajhar when more than 20 armed men broke open thedoors of two homes and sprayed them with bullets, killing seven people.
The National Democratic Front of Bodoland has been fighting for a separate homeland for the region's ethnic Bodo people. The Bodos are an indigenous tribe in Assam, making up 10% of the state's 33 million people.
The same area where Thursday's attacks took place There were fierce clashes between Bodo tribals and Muslims in 2012 in the same area where Thursday's attacks took place.
Dozens of rebel groups have been fighting the government and sometimes each other for years in the seven states in north-east India. They demand greater regional autonomy or independent homelands for the indigenous groups they represent.
At least 10,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in such violence in Assam state alone.

the mean sense. The authors observed that when the disturbance amplitude was reduced below a certain value, the bubble started to grow and became a long bubble. They concluded that the failure of the transition process to reattach the flow was attributed to the orientation and size of the transitional vortical structures. The authors observed that the distance between the transition and reattachment locations, in the mean sense, is inversely proportional to the amplitude of forcing. They also observed that bursting of the bubble occurred in the three-dimensional simulation case and not in the two-dimensional simulation even in the absence of forcing. The authors demonstrated that short bubbles could be both convectively and absolutely unstable. They concluded that the bubble in their configuration was absolutely unstable. @marxen2013vortex characterised vortexmoderate angles of attack, the flow-field undergoes a transition regime in which the LFO develops until it reaches a quasi-periodic switching between separated and attached flow. At high angles of attack, the flow-field and the aerodynamic characteristics are overwhelmed by a quasi-periodic and self-sustained LFO until the aerofoil approaches the angle of full stall. The authors concluded that most of the observations reported in the literature about the LSB and its associated LFO are neither thresholds nor indicators for the inception of the instability, but rather are consequences of it. However, the mechanism that generates and sustains the LFO is not revealed.In the present work, the conditional time-averaging defined and used by @eljack2018bursting and a conditional phase-averaging will be used to shed light on the underlying mechanism that generates

About This Game Gaea Gaea was a primal Greek goddess, one of the deities that governed the universe before the Titans.
In our game, your challenge is to escape from the maze of Gaea. Game description: The design of the game was inspired by the experience of a real-life labyrinth. I couldn't find the way out the labyrinth. The only way is to return to the tall bridge in the maze, look down from the high bridge, find the route, and then find the exit by memory. Now, we have rebuild the gameplay and carefully designed a series of maze of different difficulties, different styles and different ways of playing. This seven labyrinths have increasingly difficult and constantly challenge your memory limits. The addition of weather system also addsmarkets and other business costs, which are more in line with jTC declining northeast states, rather than southern states, where factory employment is expanding, according to Paul S. Lande, senior fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies for the Johns Hopkins University.

With that said, let's get to the news.On July 30th 2019 a representative for Epic Games reached out to the creator of DARQ and offered him an exclusivity deal for DARQ. The terms were simple, 1 year exclusivity in exchange for a minimum guarantee based on year one sales projections. DARQ's creator stated he couldn't accept the deal due to already announcing the game's Steam release date. Wlad ended the email expressing interest in bringing DARQ to the Epic Games Store when exclusivity was no longer a requirement. Wlad went on to write about this experience on Medium , to clarify the whole situation as he had previouslymentioned the offer being made to him on Reddit.On August 15th 2019 Ben Irving , Anthem's lead producer, left Bioware for another undisclosed game studio. The next day Fernando Melo , senior producer for Dragon Age 4, shared with the world, via Twitter, that it was his last day with Bioware. This is on top of the developers who either left or where shifted around earlier this year.After releasing an approximately $170 cosmetic skin for an ax the Apex Legends community expressed outrage at being treated like walking ATMs. Epic Games took a look at the situation and decided to make a few changes to the Iron Crown event that featured the aforementioned cosmetic item.

ever registered, recently surpassed that of Bobby Fischer, the former world champion. Mr. Fischer last week ended a 20-year absence from competitive chess to win an exhibition match against Boris Spassky, another former champion. Mr. Fischer had a rating of 2780 when he gave up chess in 1972; since then he has kept the rating, but the federation has listed him as inactive. The federation has not indicated whether it will rate his performance in the match just completed.
Once Professor Elo's system was accepted, he devoted a considerable effort to working with the world federation to assure its statistical accuracy and integrity.
Arpad Emrick Elo, who was born in Hungary, served from 1935 to 1937 as administrator of the American Chess Federation, which merged with the National Chess Federationin 1939 to become the United States Chess Federation.
He created a chess program for the children of his adopted city, Milwaukee, that was endorsed by the merged federation and served as the model for children's programs in dozens of other cities across the country. Left Competition
In the 1940's, Professor Elo held his own against some of the best players in over-the-board play. He faced the young Mr. Fischer in 1957, but then left competitive play to others and gave more time to his academic career.
He was a professor of physics and astronomy in the physics department of Marquette University in Milwaukee from 1935 to 1965. After retiring from Marquette, he lectured for several years at the University of Wisconsin.
Aside from chess, he liked gardening, beekeeping, winemaking and grinding

Never mind that massacres in Connecticut, Colorado, South Carolina, and now, California have forced uncomfortable questions about the widespread availability of weapons in the United States. And forget the fact that the 14 dead in San Bernardino, California, drowned out an otherwise successful week for the GOP, in which Speaker Paul Ryan laid out his vision for the future of the party, after helping guide two major bills across the finish line.
The reality is quite plain on Capitol Hill: There's still no appetite among Republicans for new gun laws.
They say there are enough laws on the books as it is. Many believe increasing background checks is akin to trampling on the Constitution and that there are better ways to combat gun violence. And few Republicans are worried aboutwill budge on gun control. A seemingly endless wave of violence has not scrambled the politics when it comes to more stringent gun laws.
Democrats and Republicans are still living in alternate universes, a divide driven by culture and geography. The GOP is a mostly Southern and Western party, and its House districts are overwhelmingly rural. Democrats are increasingly concentrated in big cities. The polarization, like on many other issues, has meant gridlock: Even when Democrats controlled the Senate they were unable to pass increased background checks in 2013.
Republicans have been steadily gaining seats in Congress since Obama won the presidency, giving them little motivation to change their politics. On Thursday, the Senate rejected a pair of gun measures, one from each party. A proposal from Sen. Dianne Feinstein

false and dehumanizing presuppositions continue to spawn new societal developments, taking us ever further from God and from civilized humanity.
What happened was that on Friday, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling on the subject of same-sex marriage. In this decision, five justices versus four, the will of tens of millions of Americans and thirty-two states, which had been expressed in legal and democratic processes in which marriage between a man and a woman was reaffirmed and protected in these states. This decision was overruled and nullified by the decision of five Supreme Court justices. And so-called same-sex marriage has been imposed on all fifty American states.
The majority justices have affirmed that defining marriage as it has been defined everywhere and by all throughout human history ismind of the complicated Hamlet. The supporting actors also do an excellent job of conveying the emotions of their characters. Branagh does the best possible job of transforming the play into a film. This film can possibly be the best version of the play yet.
Hamlet has several flaws within his character. Such as his possible insanity, but his most crippling flaw, his tragic flaw is his inability to act or determine when actions are necessary during opportune moments.
Hamlet opens the play with initial dislike for his uncle, Claudius, for stealing his mother and his throne. When Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered and he wishes to be avenged Hamlet should have jumped at the opportunity to kill Claudius. Hamlet probably wanted

Lip plates are a form of body modification used in Africa and parts of South America. The plates are made by hand from clay or wood. These plates are inserted into a pierced hole in either the bottom or top lip which stretches the lip. In Africa the plate are sometimes accompanied by the removal of the bottom front teeth.
The lip plate in some parts of Africa is used to determine social and economic status. The larger the plate can denote a wealthier family. It can also represent the number of cattle paid for a bride.

Headwear was born out of a desire to have something a little bit different. The fundamental goal is to create original designs that break the mould when it comes to all things headwear. Their love of hats is what inspired the inception and you can be certain that every inch of care and creativity is used in every single design.
Designs
Both of the first two designs, as well as the brand name come out of immense pride of the
city in which it was founded…Leeds. The name actually dates back as early as Anglo-Saxon
times and was the original name for the city of Leeds. The owl is a bit of an emblem of Leeds so combining the two just happened naturally as part of the design process.

kids and their families over a summer and built around the structure of couples in pairs finding a balance in their former troubled lives. What we gradually learn is there is a dance, a kind of liberal social waltz, of twos and fours desperately seeking a tolerance for the stresses and strains on parents and young people in modern life.
In the New Millennium past patterns tend to repeat in so-called modern times. A professor of literature encounters a woman efficiency space consultant who wants to refine his sloppy office habits to improve his creative writing production. A war breaks out between these two strong-minded persons leading to a curious resolution that involves the lingering shadows of Gothic literature and dark doings of E.A. Poe's strange imagination.
These 51 diaryentry spontaneous poems were composed one a day from December 5 through January 24 inspired by the center of gravity of the solstice when days start to lengthen again and give a very early hint that yes, the light is coming back again. The poems range over personal issues of couples, observations about snow and cold and the uncertain events in a long snowy winter in and around Boston with winter solstice as mythic anchor.

exposure of Japanese firms and the relationship between exposure and exchange rate risk management practices. They regressed monthly stock returns for 227 companies over the January 2005 to December 2009 period on the percentage change in the yen/dollar exchange rate and the nominal effective exchange rate. In one specification they also included the return on the overall Japanese stock market portfolio as a second independent variable. They found that firms producing transportation equipment, precision instruments, electrical machinery, and general machinery are highly exposed to exchange rate appreciations, indicating that these firms face intense competition from abroad. They also reported that firms with a higher ratio of foreign sales and firms with less yen invoicing are more exposed to appreciations. They did not find a statistically significant relationship betweenthe first difference of Japanese export prices as a function of current and lagged values of the first difference of foreign prices, domestic costs, economic activity in the destination markets and exchange rates. She employed industry-specific yen-denominated export prices from the BoJ. She obtained the foreign price variable by multiplying the inverse of the BoJ real effective exchange rate series by the product of the nominal effective exchange rate and the Japanese corporate goods price index. She measured economic activity in destination markets by industrial production in industrialized countries. She calculated the exchange rate as the ratio in each industry of the yen-denominated export price to the contract-currency export price
Since this paper uses currency invoicing as an indicator of export competitiveness, it investigates long run exchange rate pass-through.

Based on the findings of the investigation, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office issued charges of a single count of making a terrorist threat, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, against each of the two students.

A detention hearing was held at Tuesday at Oakland County Circuit Court.
Continued detainment was authorized by the juvenile referee and both suspects currently remain in custody. Their next scheduled appearance for a pre-trial hearing is Friday, March 8, at the probate division ofOakland County Circuit Court.
Investigators have confirmed the juveniles involved did not have access to any weapons in their homes. In an overabundance of caution, the Novi Police Department will continue extra patrols of all schools within the jurisdiction, the city said.
The Novi Police Department and the Novi Community School District remain steadfast in providing a safe learning environment for all students, according to a statement issued by police. Any and all threats made against schools, students and staff will be fully investigated by all means necessary, it read.
It was the latest in series of threats at area schools that came in the wake of the school shooting that left 17 people dead earlier this month.

for three months in Glass, a military hospital, west of Keren. However, his health condition further deteriorated, worsened by asthma, and he died after his return to Embatkala prison.
According to an August 2009 report from an opposition Web site, Berhanes Gebregzabhier, one of 11 members of the PFDJ National Assembly, who had been held in solitary confinement since 2001, was executed in 2002 based on the recommendation of Naizghi Kiflu, a former presidential advisor.
During the year there were credible reports that at least five prisoners detained because of their religious affiliation died due to lack of medical treatment. The government did not investigate or prosecute any reports of security force abuse.
b. Disappearance
Eritrean refugees and asylum seekers repatriated from other countries during the year reportedly disappeared and an unknownthe year a number of imprisoned journalists disappeared, according to NGO Reporters Without Borders.
In January 2009 the government of Egypt refouled several hundred Eritrean refugees and asylum seekers, all of whom were returned to their families, according to the government. Nevertheless, there were numerous reports from family members of missing individuals, mostly young men and women who had not completed national service.
In 2008 approximately 1,200 Eritreans were repatriated from Egypt, many of whom remained missing at year's end. Similarly in 2008 German immigration authorities returned two Eritrean nationals, neither of whom had been seen since their arrival in Asmara.

SIM cards. There were reports of the government arresting those who rented their cell phones to others or used a cell phone while in military service.
There were multiple reports that military and government officials seized residences and businesses belonging to private citizens and religious organizations and subsequently housed the families of senior military officers or government officials in the properties, used them for government or military functions, or reassigned ownership to government and military officials. There were also reports that military officials used soldiers in national service to perform free labor such as construction of houses and crop harvesting.
In 2008 the government demanded that departing NGOs transfer financial and reporting documents to government officials. While membership in the PFDJ, the only sanctioned political party, was not mandatory forall citizens, the government coerced membership for certain categories of individuals, particularly those occupying government positions or assigned through national service to serve in government institutions. All citizens were forced to attend PFDJ indoctrination meetings irrespective of membership, and there were reports of threats to withhold the ration cards of those who did not attend. There were reports that similar meetings were mandatory for Eritrean communities abroad, and the names of those not attending were reported to government officials. Reportedly citizens who did not attend were harassed. Officials also collected biographical and contact information on Eritrean residents living abroad.
It is reported that Eritrean military officials or proxies use access to persons in refugee communities to threaten them against becoming politically active in Eritrean politics in neighboring countries such

as Kenya and Sudan, without permission of the respective governments.
Section 2 Respect for Civil Liberties, Including:
a. Freedom of Speech and Press
The law and unimplemented constitution provide for freedom of speech and of the press; however, the government severely restricted these rights in practice. Citizens did not have the right to criticize their government in public or in private, and some who did were arrested or detained. The private press remained banned, and most independent journalists remained in detention or had fled the country during the year, which effectively prevented any public and media criticism of the government. All journalists practiced self-censorship due to fear of government reprisal. The government actively monitored the Eritrean Diaspora within the country and abroad via agents.
The government attempted to impede criticism and tookreprisals against persons who criticized government officials or policies. Public criticism about the government's inability to combat poverty and starvation was prohibited. Gatherings were considered illegal without prior approval, and the government routinely monitored religious gatherings. Most other gatherings took place through government-run organizations and, thereby, were implicitly monitored by government officials present.
The government also continued to forbid free speech. In a February 2009 interview with news agency Al Jazeera, President Isaias stated that he would not allow independent media to operate in Eritrea. In an interview in October with a Qatari reporter for Al Watan newspaper, the president did not indicate any change in stance with regard to issues related to press freedom.
The government controlled all media, which included three newspapers, three radio stations, and two television

by the government either directly or through high-ranking PFDJ party members. Those who want a larger bandwidth, such as some international mining corporations, pay exorbitant prices far beyond the reach of the local population for DSL speed Internet connections. In rural areas of the country, there was no access to the Internet.
The government also discouraged citizens from viewing Web sites known to be antigovernment by continuously labeling the sites and their developers as saboteurs of the government. Many citizens expressed fear of arrest if the government caught them viewing such sites. Despite the requirement for journalists to receive written permission to take photographs, gatherings are regularly photographed by government officials for intimidation and as possible grounds for future detention.
According to International Telecommunication Union statistics for 2009, approximately 4percent of the country's inhabitants used the Internet. While monitored Internet cafes with extremely limited bandwidth are available in Asmara and other major cities, the vast majority of Eritreans do not have access to the Internet.
Academic Freedom and Cultural Events
The government restricted academic freedom, including restricting or censoring course content and curriculum and censuring or sanctioning academic personnel for their teachings, writing and research. Academic travel and contact with other academics at home and abroad was restricted, intimidating academics into practicing self-censorship, and influencing academic appointments based on political affiliation.
The government practices widespread and systematic discrimination in the education system. In order to enroll students in more selective elementary and primary schools, parents often paid bribes or provided favors to local authorities or staff at the school.

to equal educational opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and equal property rights; however, in practice men retained privileged access to education, employment, and control of economic resources, particularly in rural areas. Women generally did not enjoy a social status equal to men.
The law requires that all Eritreans participate in national service beginning at the age of 18. In practice, however, some Eritreans are only 17 years old when they go to Sawa where they have six months of military training in addition to their normal grade 12 academic year. The law requires that women, starting from grade 12, participate in national service. During the year the government continued efforts to detain female draft evaders and deserters. According to reports, some women drafted for national service were subjectedthrough grade seven is compulsory and tuition is free; however, students were responsible for uniforms, supplies, and transportation, which were prohibitively expensive for many families. Education above grade seven required a nominal fee and was not compulsory. There was a shortage of schools and teachers at all levels, remedied in part by holding morning and afternoon shifts at schools. In rural areas, young girls usually left school early to work at home.
The government required all students who reached the final year of secondary school to attend grade 12 at the Sawa military and educational camp in the western section of the country. Students who did not attend this final year did not graduate and could not take examinations that determined eligibility for advanced education. The remote location of

Union. Membership in these unions was required as a precondition to working is their respective fields. The government did not encourage the formation of independent unions by employees or private businesses. Union leaders were typically government employees, and union activities were generally government sanctioned. The Ministry of Labor and Human Welfare must grant special approval for groups of 20 or more persons seeking to form a union. There were no reports that the government opposed the formation of labor associations during the year; however, the government did not approve the formation of any unions.
The law allows strikes; however, all unions were closely aligned with the government and thus did not exercise or promote the right to strike. The ability of government-backed industries to use national service conscripts asprohibits forced or compulsory labor, including by children. However, forced labor occurred. Specifically, Eritrea's mandatory national service program of indefinite duration requires conscripts to perform a wide variety of nonmilitary activities, including harvesting and work in the service sector. Conscription into mandatory, open-ended service begins at the senior year of high school for all students; they are required to spend their senior year at the Sawa military and education camp. Some students enter Sawa as early as the age of 16 or 17 and, therefore, begin national conscripted labor immediately following Sawa under the age of 18.
With few exceptions, the government required all men and women upon graduation from high school to participate in the national service program until demobilization, which included military training and civilian work programs.

However, the criteria for demobilization were unclear, and many were required to work indefinitely in any location or capacity chosen by the government. Reports indicated citizens were enlisted in the national service for many years at below minimum wage rates with no prospective end date, no promotion or salary increases, and restricted freedom of movement, since those employed under national service were often denied passports or exit visas. The government justified its open-ended draft on the basis of Ethiopia's occupation of Eritrean territory. Some national service members were assigned to return to their civilian jobs while nominally kept in the military because their skills were deemed critical to the functioning of the government or the economy. These individuals continued to receive only their national service salary. The governmentrequired them to forfeit to the government any money they earned above that salary. Government employees generally were unable to leave their jobs or take new employment. Draft evaders often were used as laborers on government development projects.
Although the government has a national plan of action to protect children from exploitation in the workplace, it was not enforced effectively, and child labor occurred. The legal minimum age of employment is 14 years old. The law prohibits minors from working in transport industries or working underground, such as in mines and sewers. It was common for rural children who did not attend school to work on family farms, fetch firewood and water, and herd livestock, among other activities. In urban areas, children could be seen in auto mechanic uniforms

Mumbai, Sept 2: An investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni by India TV, has revealed several leads, which at the end, disappear to nowhere.
In a prime time programme Talaash telecast on India TV on Saturday evening, the channel's reporters fanned out to different places of Mumbai, met old acquaintances, film producers and spoke to Narcotics Control Bureau officials and even the Indian Consulate General in Dubai, but the actress, who scorched the screens in the Nineties, was untraceable.
First, a flashback: Born in an ordinary family in 1972, Mamta joined Bollywood at the age of 20. She worked in Tiranga in 1992 with Raj Kumar and Nana Patekar, and carved a niche for herself in the industry.
She got the lead role the verynext year in Aashiq Awara with Saif Ali Khan. Both Mamta and Saif won the Best debut film awards that year. Director Umesh Mehra described how he selected Mamta for the role.
In 1993 itself, Mamta worked in the film Ashant with film star Govinda. Mamta worked in nearly a dozen films in a brief span on two years, and signed up films at random for the next three years. Her fim with Akshay Kumar in Sabse Bada Khiladi was a super hit.
In 1994, she had another hit Krantiveer, produced by Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, and acted with Nana Patekar under Mehul Kumar's direction.
Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun was a super hit in 1995, in which Mamta appeared with Shah Rukh Khan.
At one point of time, Mamta was working with

all three great Khans in Bollywood, Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. She did Baazi with Aamir Khan in 1995, which was a hit.
Film producer Madan Mohla says, Mamta's mother was the reason behind her downfall, as she was greedy, and forced her daughter to sign films recklessly.
Mamta then came in touch with director Raj Kumar Santoshi, who gave her an item number in the film Ghatak. The relationship prospered, and Santoshi signed her up for his next film China Gate, where Tinu Verma was the action director.
A quarrel between Santoshi and Mamta, led to the former forcing her out, but after a reported intervention by underworld don Chhota Rajan, Santoshi took her back, but pruned her role badly, and gave the dazzling item number to Urmila Matondkar.
Mamta thenlevelled serious charges against Santoshi alleging he had asked her to come to his bedroom. It was the year 1997.
Mamta was nearing a steep decline in her film career, and her co-stars and producers began to avoid her, as she was found hobnobbing with the dreaded underworld, with Mumbai police anxious to unravel the Bollywood-underworld nexus in those turbulent years.
Her film Qila with Umesh Mehra flopped, and Chhupa Rustam with director Madan Mohla too fared badly at the box office. It was the year 2000.
In 2002, Mamta did the role of a Devdasi in the film Khajuraho, exposing her physical attributes. But the steep decline was evident.
And, with the shirtless cover image of Mamta on Stardust creating an uproar, Mamta's father left both his wife and his daughter.

From 2002 onwards, Mamata has never been seen by anybody till this day - a period of 10 years.
India TV reporters tried to ferret out informations about Mamta by going to her homes in Andheri East and Andheri West.
The reporters went to her father R G Kulkarni's apartment in Sarvodaya Housing Society in Bamhanpara, Andheri East, but found the door locked since March 10, 2011.
Some of the neighbours told that both her parents were no more alive, but this could not be verified by her other family members.
Producer Madan Mohla told India TV that Mamta was probably married and settled outside India. He had no other information to share.
Records in Mumbai police stations showed that Mamta Goswami had relationship with drug smuggler Vicky alias Vikram Goswami and shehad three flats in Andheri West.
At Sky Anchorage apartment in Andheri West, near Vesova, India TV team found the report to be true. There were three apartments in Mamta's name. All three flats were locked, with mails lying unattended, but the society members said, Mamta was sending maintenance charges regularly for all the three flats. The society office-bearers refused to disclose any more information.
On checking with Narcotics Control Bureau, India TV reporter was told that Mamta's lover Vicky Goswami is a supplier of drugs for the underworld.
Veteran film critic S. Balasubramaniam told India TV that Vicky Goswami was struck by Mamta's beauty while the latter saw a secured future by staying with her lover. He hinted that the couple could be in Dubai.

Indian consulate general in Dubai, but the consular officials refused to impart information on grounds of personal privacy.
While checking other sources, India TV team got hold of a portion of Mamta Kulkarni's passport with a US visa stamped on it.
The details : Mamta Mukund Kulkarni, Indian passport no F 6616634. A visa for US was issued on 14/11/2010 and was valid till 12/11/2020. The visa was issued from the American consular office in Dubai. Nationality: Indian, and date of birth 20 April 1972.
But a strange thing was noticed: a very old pic of Mamta had been pasted on the passport. If it was a new photograph, then Mamta might surely have undergone a drastic facial plastic surgery.
A Mamta looking beautiful in 2002, could not have looked so oldin 2010. Was Mamta trying to erase her identity among acquaintances?
In Facebook, India TV team found a community of wellwishers for Mamta Kulkarni. A Dubai-based Indian cine critic Jawahar Chhoda said, he has hardly seen Mamta Kulkarni in the city, though he regularly attends social gatherings.
The last lead that India TV team got was a sketchy address reading Polenoid bungalow, Jumeirah, Dubai. There are hundreds and thousands of bungalows and apartments in Jumeriah, divided into Phase 1, 2 and 3, said Chhoda.
India TV has appealed to viewers to contact mail@indiatvnews.com or dial 0120-3051010 or 09350593505, if they have any concrete lead about mamta Kulkarni, the Bollywood actress who has vanished into thin air.

of all, the Grand
Fisher.
Bleach, like Lucifer, is a slick, modern and
fun take on traditional concepts like souls,
demons and spirit guides.
Where Lucifer's version of the Devil is mischievous
but charming, May the Devil Take You's portrayal
is closer to the traditional merciless, soul-seizing
monster.
The movie starts with a man, Lesmana, making
a pact with the Devil in the basement of his
villa.
He receives riches in his lifetime in exchange
for his soul after death.
You know, the usual.
Ten years later, Lesmana is gravely ill, and
his estranged daughter Alfie grudgingly visits
him in hospital, where she witnesses a spirit
waiting to drag him to hell.
She returns to their now-dilapidated villa,
alongside her half-siblings and stepmother,
with whom she has a rough relationship.
But when they open the basement door which
had been nailed shut and covered in charms,
they unleash the spirit Lesmana conjuredyears
before, which starts possessing and picking
them off one by one.
Cue lots of veiny faces, blood vomiting, head-spinning,
and creatively grim deaths.
May the Devil Take You was directed by Timo
Tjahjanto, who is best known for his gore-heavy
action movies.
He also directed the widely acclaimed thriller
The Night Comes for Us in 2018.
If you miss the old-school style of Devil-centric
hauntings, this is a nice, gory complement
to Lucifer.
If Lucifer proved anything, it's that demons
cannot resist the human world - and Demonic
reminds us that humans likewise cannot resist
poking around with demonic spirits.
Six wannabe ghost hunters plan a seance in
an abandoned house, the site of a previous
seance that ended in a massacre.
Despite multiple supernatural red flags, they
proceed, gathering around a cryptic seal carved
into the floorboards of one room.
What happens to them next forms the core mystery

the Swedish chemist and businessman Alfred Bernard Nobel was finally able to develop dynamite, an explosive that is used all over the world today in rock blasting activities. The development of dynamite by Nobel made him an instant success as his company Nitro Nobel raked in millions of Swedish Krona in a very short period of time.
The success of Nitro Nobel and the vast millions at its command fired up a barrage of patriotic and philanthropic instincts in Alfred Nobel and compelled him to write a will instructing inter-alia that a percentage of the vast wealth should be used to assist anyone or institute in similar research efforts as his but are seriously constrained by lack of finance.

Everyone knows and few like Brian Burke's Phil Kessel trade, and while Leafs fans may decry their loss of Tyler Seguin and what looks like another top five pick, the Maple Leafs have a number of prospects showing well. They won't make up for the loss

Greg McKegg has been part of a much-improved Erie Otters team this season. LeafsNation looked at his scoring here.
Josh Nicholls plays on the best team in the WHL and the highest-scoring team in the WHL. Curtis Hamilton told us how much he enjoys playing with Nicholls and Marek Viedensky, and credits the two of them for his success.
Jesse Blacker is working on an enormous offensive season from a defenseman and not only has he had a marvelous season, he was named to the Canadian World Juniors selection camp in place of the injured Brandon Gormley.
Obviously Nazem Kadri is the jewelof the prospect organization, but he's struggled this season in the AHL and can't seem to find his own zone or buy a point in the in the NHL.
There is no Tyler Seguin or Brandon Saad on the list, but there are a handful of players who should find success in the NHL. It might not be enough to take the sting out of the trade, but looking at those names means Phil Kessel will have some support in the next few years.

husband's behalf, through a power of attorney executed by her husband. When Debtor signed the Retainer Agreement, she had the mental capacity to do so. Between July 19 and September 26, 2005, when Debtor filed her bankruptcy petition, Souweidane had conversations with Debtor regarding the nature of her personal injury claim, the elements he would have to prove in a cause of action against the at-fault driver; and the potential dram shop claim. Souweidane testified that the entire time he represented Debtor, she was aware that there was a potential recovery for her injuries.
Mr. Souweidane further testified that late in 2005, well after Debtor's September 26, 2005 bankruptcy filing, he had his first contact with Mr. Dixon, and discussed with him a possible cause of action that hecover that too. Debtor testified that the reason she retained an attorney was because her family and friends told her to, not because she wanted to recover money.
Debtor further testified that she did not intend to conceal her personal injury lawsuit. She testified that to the best of her knowledge, she discussed the claim with Mr. Dixon; that Mr. Crosby told Dixon that she was in an accident; that Dixon knew about her personal injury claim from the beginning; and that she had relied on Dixon to list it in the petition. Debtor stated that Mr. Crosby had referred her to both Souweidane and Dixon, and that all three of the attorneys knew about her personal injury claim.
Debtor blamed pain medications and inadvertent error for her failure to

A case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor of an 81-year-old man is presented, which was located in the cutis. The occurrence in this age and this superficial location is unusual and raises wide differential diagnostic possibilities. The tumor demonstrated Homer Wright rosettes, was positive for neuron-specific enolase and ultrastructurally revealed neurosecretory granules. These features support the diagnosis of a peripheral neuroblastoma. We discuss the controversy about the terminology of peripheral neuroblastoma vs. neuroepithelioma, as well as the differential diagnosis of these tumors.

DC Comics' upcoming Gotham Academy by Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl is one of those ideas that's so good that it's amazing that it took a full 75 years of Batman comics for it to actually happen. Set in a prestigious private school in the middle of Batman's hometown, Gotham Academy will debut this October following the adventures of two young students at a private school in a city known mostly for its truly staggering population of supervillains.
One assumes that hijinks will ensue, but to find out more, ComicsAlliance's Juliet Kahn spoke to Cloonan, Fletcher and Batman group editor Mark Doyle at San Diego Comic-Con.
ComicsAlliance: So, Gotham Academy. Personally, I'm really excited. I know you've talked here and there about how it's going to be aimedgrowing. We're seeing a growth in the market so much that now even in Gotham there's a place for stories like this. It's nice to be able to have done enough work in the past to get to this point.
CA: Can you tell me about some of the main characters of Gotham Academy?
BF: Olive Silverlock, our main character.
BC: It's her second year at Gotham.
BF: Her first year was fairly sunny, fairly bright. She doesn't come from a really wealthy background so getting to go to this prep school is a wonderful experience for her, was a wonderful experience for her. Her grades are fantastic, loves books, was in the school play, dating the tennis star and then something happened in the summer that changed her world. It's impacted

her relationship with the tennis star in a negative way. It's impacted the way she feels about the school and it may have had some disastrous change on her life. That's one of the main arcs of where it's going. What happened to Olive? What is that going to mean for her future and the future of all the students at Gotham Academy?
BC: And her best friend, her name is Mia Mizoguchi, her nickname is Maps because she's obsessed with cartography, is one year younger than her, a freshman. So excited to be here. So happy. She's Olive's ex-boyfriend's little sister. So it's a little awkward.
MD: It's complicated.
BC: It's a little complicated.

When people got paid at 10am in the morning, they would have to spend it straight away, otherwise the wage would become worthless. There is the story that to pay teachers, the money had to be carried in a lorry. When the lorry came and distributed the wheelbarrows of money, the teachers gave it to relatives who would go off and buy goods straight away.

In that case Grylls and Co. stuck by their pre-election position on a matter that didn't concern them, and Colin Barnett was forced to try to turn the heat up on Labor. That didn't work either, unsurprisingly as both the Liberals and Labor have about-faced on the issue many times over, and the Premier was forced to compromise with the enemy rather than turn the heat up on his ally.

Terrance Crawford, 23, has been indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury. The indictment was issued Friday, but made public today. Court records indicate Crawford was first arrested in December, but that arrest was never announced.
Crawford is charged in the November 2015 shooting death of 33-year-old Tyrone Staton. He was killed in the 200 block of Eighth Avenue West. Police said North Precinct officers were dispatched to the scene and found the victim sitting in the front seat of a vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded and pronounced Staton dead.
Edwards said the victim was

a passenger in the vehicle driven by another man. A third man was in the back seat and pulled out a gun and shot the victim. The driver stopped the car, jumped out and ran for help to a nearby fire station. The suspected shooter had fled by the time police arrived.
The driver was questioned at police headquarters and told police he didn't know the back seat passenger, and said it was the first time he had ever seen him.
Court records show Staton was arrested by the ABC Board in 2012 and accused of bringing 10 pounds of marijuana into Birmingham. He was released from jail after posting bond and was indicted two years later, in August of 2014. In April of 2015, he signed a plea agreementwith the prosecutor's office to life without parole under Alabama's habitual offender law. His next court date was scheduled for Dec. 17.
Crawford was just 16 when police said was charged with three counts of attempted murder and one of shooting into an occupied vehicle in connection with a shooting that wounded three teenagers in Fairfield. The shooting happened at the old Wal-Mart parking lot on Aaron Aronov Drive.
The shootout resulted from an ongoing dispute between two rival groups of Birmingham teenagers, police said at the time. Crawford in 2009 was convicted on felony charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison, with four to serve.
The same grand jury also indicted two men who are charged in the death of a Fultondale man during a robbery at his home.

Building extension
It gives me great pleasure to write this reference for BRUCE PRESTON who I have employed as a project manager for the construction of an extension to my business property in Kangaroo Valley, Kangaroo Valley Views Bed & Breakfast from 2005-2007.
Bruce was recommended to me by a local trades person who had previously worked with Bruce and had found his work to be of the highest professional and ethical standard. Bruce had been involved with other local trades people, in the construction of the local Ambulance Station, which is an example of the dedication he has to community and public service. His services were at minimal cost

in order to allow the construction to occur within the budget, funds raised by local contributions.
He was aware of the financial limitations of the project and endeavoured to maintain these limits . He was able to give monthly financial expenditure reports and we met frequently for discussions on the next stages before they were actioned. He was always punctual, had attention to detail and if plans needed reviewing, I would be contacted and the matter resolved.
He has a broad understanding of the construction industry, bricklaying, carpentry, electrical, painting, plumbing, roofing, gyprocking and tiling. His sub-contractors were willing to come to site, with short notice, they were treated in a professional and business like manner, work colleagues for many years.
I found Bruce to be friendly, courteous, respectful at allThis month I ask: What role do renewables, such as wind and solar, have to play in the future of the UK energy mix?
Renewable energy sources are increasing their presence within the UK energy mix. To be exact, in 2014 a grand total of 19% of electricity generated in the UK, came from renewables and future government plans want to see this percentage rise further. Safeguards against climate change, environmental group pressures and carbon emission targets all lobby in favour of a more renewables- heavy energy mix, but their downfall is their ever questioned economic viability. A classic example of this was in 2013, when the UK wide press detailed articles stating alarming consumer subsidy figures of over £1 billion to wind turbine owners. With current economic austerity

If anything, he's Hekapoos man and she's just letting him date other women because it's how she roles.For the Republicans in Washington who hoped a new bipartisan push for immigration reform would give their party a fresh start, a new face, and a second chance with Latino voters, 2013 is instead reviving some of their worst memories.
The legislation currently winding through the Senate with the help of party superstar Sen. Marco Rubio is still very much in play, and could well become the first law in a generation to address the country's immigration morass. But as conservative criticism of the reform effort grows louder, many Republican operatives, donors, and consultants are bracing for an outcome that would be even worse, politically, than the demise of the bill: a fierce, national, right-wing backlash that drowns out the GOP's friendlier voices, dominates Telemundo and Univision, and dashes

Klein insists the drives of infants, such as hunger or sex, are directed to an object, such as a vagina, a penis, or a breast. The child's relation to the breast, according to Klein, is fundamental, serving as a prototype of relations to whole objects later in life, such as a father and mother.
The infantile tendency of relating to partial objects gives their experiences a fantasylike or unrealistic nature, affecting interpersonal relations later in life. Hence the tendency of Klein's ideas to shift the focus of psychoanalytictheory to the role early fantasy plays in the formation of interpersonal relationships from organically based stages of development.
Klein isn't the only theorist to speculate the importance of the early relationship between child and mother. The belief of Margaret Mahler is that the sense of identity of children is dependent on a three-step relationship with their mothers. The initial step is for the mother to cater to the basic needs of the infant and develop a symbiotic and safe relationship with the powerful mother. Finally, infants will establish their own identities and individuality upon emerging from the protective circles of their mothers.
The theory of Heinz Kohut is that the sense of self develops during infancy, when they are treated as unique people by their parents and others. John

The changing pattern of cardiovascular disease during the last 30 years in Japan is described. The most striking change was a reduction in deaths caused by hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. There was no increase in ischemic heart disease in the rural area studied but such a trend was shown in the urban area. A change in risk factors for cardiovascular disease, reduction in blood pressure, and increase in serum cholesterol were more marked in the rural than the urban area. Institution of a hypertension control program and marked changes in lifestyle, including diet, could explain the relatively rapid change in the frequency and the type of cardiovascular disease, particularly cerebral stroke.

Most Japanese reactors suspended
Forty-three of Japan's 54 reactors are now suspended for inspections or mechanical troubles and public opposition to restarting them since the disaster has cast doubts on the nation's overall nuclear future.
Before the tsunami, Japan relied on nuclear power for about one-third of its electricity. If power companies cannot win local approval, which is required to restart reactors shut down for glitches or inspections, all of Japan's plants could be offline by next May.
But, in a first since the disaster, a nuclear reactor in southern Japan has resumed operation after a monthlong shutdown for a technical problem. A reactor in Hokkaido, northern Japan, was brought back online in August, but it had not been completely shut down and was out of commercial service only forpage views by visitors. Those visitors were from the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Spain, Germany, Canada, Italy, South Africa, the Netherlands, and Australia.
By and large, the majority of this traffic came over to the blog from the Modern Snuff website itself, followed closely by people who came over from Facebook. A surprisingly smaller number of visitors came over to the blog from the Snuffhouse message board and search engines.
I'm very pleased with how the blog is going, and I hope those of you visiting the blog are enjoying it.

economic stakeholders in Granby to focus their attention on developing local potential. By shifting the perspective to local and Canadian growth, the city returned to the foundations of its industrial development. While the city had relied on European investment in the past, it was the innovation of local and Canadian industry that made it possible to renew itself as it has continued to do. The vitality of its ability to develop local capital was exemplified during the industrial shift between 1960 and 1980. In 1984, Georges Nydam, the director of the Granby Industrial Commission, assessed that 70% of job growth was generated by local businesses. Among the 124 local or Canadian companies created after 1964, only 17 employed 50 or more workers in 1986, which demonstrates the importanceof small businesses in the process of industrial development.
Local and Canadian capital plays a part in all sectors of activity, but the importance of local investment varies. Forestry and printing, for example, are entirely dependent on local capital. In 1986, more than 800 workers were employed by plastics or chemical companies, another sector that is almost entirely controlled by local interests. The Canadian contribution to the textile and clothing industries has made it possible to revitalize a sector that was significantly affected by market development. All clothing manufacturing companies are directed by women, a sign of the times. The metallurgical sector enjoyed the most significant growth between the 1960s and 1980s, creating 50 companies, 43 of which were from a local or Canadian initiative.

was a huge success, becoming Agropur In 1979, expanding its territory and continuously diversifying production. It began as a simple regional co-operative in the 1960s, and has been transformed into an agri-food giant that processes 40% of milk products in Quebec and generates 800 million dollars in economic activity.
For regional and Granby industries, the end of the 20th century signalled liberalization and globalization of world markets and one of the largest periods of economic growth in the postwar era. In Granby, where the positive effects of free trade are still being felt, industrial workforce grew by 30% and commerce enjoyed a period of renewal. All industries in the region seem to have benefitted from the reduction in tariffs that have been in effect since the end of the1980s. The innovative spirit of the business community was another catalyst for success in that period; organizations and associations representing businesses adapted brilliantly to the challenges of globalization, as well as regional integration.
Plastic granules for processing.
The industrial sector has retained its position as a generator of growth in Granby, spurred by free trade. Following a difficult period of layoffs at the beginning of the 1990s in which 1 200 jobs were lost, the number of factory workers rose significantly between 1992 and 1999, increasing from 7 000 to 9 100. Small and medium-sized businesses continue to dominate the industrial fabric; at the end of the 1990s, 220 production units were operating in seven main sectors. In order of number of jobs they have created, these sectors are: metal

and retrieved a bag from the trunk.
Expecting the bag to contain drugs, the detectives decided to
approach Lacy, Bleau, and the driver of the Civic, later identified
-3-
as Rabbia. Because they were outnumbered three to two, Sullivan
and Macken called for backup to detective Paul Thompson, who was
nearby.
Without waiting for Thompson, Sullivan and Macken drew
their service weapons and approachedthe trio. Lacy and Bleau were
standing in the parking lot. Rabbia was still seated in his car.
Because the detectives were wearing civilian clothes, they
announced themselves as police officers and displayed their badges.
Macken then ordered Lacy and Bleau to lay on the ground and
proceeded to pat-frisk and handcuff them. As he was restraining
Lacy and Bleau, Macken was joined by Thompson, who began to
question Bleau about the contents of the bag he had removed from
the Civic.
Meanwhile, Sullivan walked up to the Civic alone with his
weapon drawn. He

was approximately thirty or forty feet from
Macken and Thompson, who were occupied with Lacy and Bleau. From
where he stood, Sullivan could only see Rabbia's upper body and
could not determine if he was armed. Sullivan instructed Rabbia to
exit the car. When he complied, Sullivan placed him in handcuffs.
As he did so, Sullivan told Rabbia that he was not under arrest,
that he was being handcuffed as a safety measure, and that the
handcuffs would be removed when other officers arrived. Rabbia
indicated that he understood. Sullivan then pat-frisked Rabbia for
weapons and found none. During the frisk, Sullivan reiterated that
-4-
Rabbia had been handcuffed as a precaution and that the handcuffs
would be removed when additional officers appeared.
While Rabbia was still in handcuffs, Sullivan heard
Thompson say that the bag retrieved from the Civic contained a gun.
Shortly thereafter, another officer arrived on the scene and, as
promised, Rabbia's handcuffs were removed. In all, he had been
handcuffed for approximately five minutes.

LEAVING AYODHYA
Sita
waited for her husband to return from seeing his father, full of expectation
for the coronation ceremony ahead. When Rama at last appeared it was obvious
that he was not his usual self. Whereas Rama had stayed calm with his father
and mother, when he came to see Sita he could no longer restrain his feelings.
He had intended to leave her behind, but found it hard to keep his resolve.
What is
wrong, my Lord? You have come without your royal attendants who should be with
you on this special day, and you are pale and trembling.'
My
beloved Sita, father has seen fit to send me into exileto the royal palace to take their leave of'
Dasaratha. News of Rama's banishment had spread among the ordinary people of
Ayodhya. It was hard for them to understand what was happening. Why had
Dasaratha done this'? As the three passed along the street, without Rama's
usual company of royal guards and chariots, onlookers felt dismayed. They
looked upon Rama as the root of their existence and could not conceive of life
without him.
We will
follow Rama,' they said to one another, 'we will turn the forest into Ayodhya
and let Ayodhya revert to forest. Kaikeyi will inherit a deserted city, inhabited
by wild animals and mice.
Rama
came once more before his father. Dasaratha had called all his wives to be
present. Headed by Kausalya they filled the room, many weeping uncontrollably.
In their midst the emperor sat on a

| 13,778,595
|
Please forgive any offences I may have committed. Now I
must take leave of you all. Farewell!
Rama
led his two companions as they went first to the emperor, then to Queen
Kausalya, bowing and walking around them in respect. Lakshmana tearfully
embraced his mother Sumitra, who urged him to serve Sita and Rama as if they
were his own mother and father.
Outside
a chariot stood waiting for them carrying Sita's ornaments and silk robes,
mighty bows and other weapons, a basket and a spade. They boarded it and
Sumantra took the reins.
Picking
up speed, the chariot headed for the city gates. On the way the people of
Ayodhya lined the streets. Moans and cries went up on all sides, and young and
old pushed forward to catch hold of the chariot as it passed. Many ran after
it, tears streamingdown their faces, imploring the driver to slow down so that
they could get a good look at the faces of their beloved Rama and Sita.
Dasaratha
did his best to follow them. 'Slow down,' he ordered Sumantra. 'Speed up,'
commanded Rama. The dust of the chariot's wheels mixed with the people's tears.
Turning,
Rama saw Dasaratha slip and fall, unable to get up. Kausalya and liis aides
bent to help him as he called pitifully for Rama. Rama turned away and did not
look back. 'Drive on!' he ordered Sumantra, as they passed through the city
gates.
Helped
by Kausalya, the emperor got to his feet and reached the edge of the city. He
watched the chariot diminish into the distance, followed by a cloud of' dust,
until all that could be seen was a blur on the horizon. He
|

|
stayed rooted to the
spot, unable to turn away. In front of him on the road he saw the wheel-marks
of Rama's chariot, but even as he looked the breeze blew them away, leaving no
trace of his passing. Kaikeyi came to take his arm, but he pushed her away.
No
longer are you any relation of mine. I disown you and all your household.
After a
long time he turned to go back. The emperor made his way to the palace with
Kausalya. He had eyes for no one and thought only of' Rama and hid himself in
Kausalya's apartments. A dark cloud settled over Ayodhya. No fires burned and
people did not eat. Men's faces were wet with tears and mothers ignored their
children. The wind gusted along empty streets while the sun hid behind
unseasonal clouds.
In the
moonlessnight, Kausalya sat beside her husband's bed. His breath came fitfully
in intermittent gasps. Inside her she felt the fire burn ever hotter, consuming
her will to live. Dasaratha reached out in the darkness.
Kausalya,
I can't see you. I have gone blind. Touch me with your hand.' She took his hand
in hers and let out a long piteous wail.
INTO THE FOREST
The
chariot kept up speed for a while, with the citizens from Ayodhya desperately
straggling behind. White-haired men, bent with age, who thought they could convince
Rama to change his mind, were among them. Feeling pity for them, Rama stopped
the chariot and continued on foot as far as the river Tamasa, where he halted
for the night.
As
birds sang evening lullabies the travellers settled on a bed of leaves for
their first night out in the open.

Rama made sure the horses were well fed, but
for himself drank only a little water. He had no appetite for more. Lakshmana
could not sleep and sat up all night talking about Rama with Sumantra. Several
hours before dawn Rama awoke and was distressed to see the good people of
Ayodhya strewn on the bare ground fast asleep. Without disturbing them, Rama
and his companions quietly rode their chariot across the swiftly-flowing river,
being careful not to leave any tell-tale tracks on the other side. When the
poor citizens awoke they searched everywhere for Rama. Unable to find any trace
of him they returned to their homes in despair.
Rama
pushed on southwards through the cool pre-dawn air, his mind fixed on his
father's order. By the time the sun rose he and his companions had left the
riverfar behind. All that day they passed through the fertile lands of Koshala,
full of gardens and temples, crossing the rivers Gomati and Sandakan. News went
before them and along the way village folk left their fields to implore Rama
not to leave. He was unable to check his tears, but sent them back to their
work. At last they reached the holy Ganges, whose deep waters, decorated with
white lotus flowers and swans, marked.
The
border of Lksvaku territory. Rama looked back the way they had come to salute
the far-off city of Ayodhya, saying: 'When I have honoured my father's vow I
will return.
The
chief of those parts was Guha, loyal to the lksvaku kings. He welcomed Rama and
his companions with well-cooked food and soft beds. Yet Rama was still not
hungry.
I have
vowed to sleep on the

|
ground and eat only forest fruits and roots,' he told
Guha. But he asked him to care for his horses. Lakshmana stayed awake a second
night and shared his sorrows with Guha: 'I fear that without Rama the emperor
and queen may not have the strength to survive this night.
Comforted
by Guha, he shed hot tears while Rama and Sita slept.
In the
morning the two princes treated their hair with sap from the banyan tree and
twisted it into top-knots, in the style of forest sages. They put on quivers
and loaded their gear into a boat. For Sumantra, the moment of parting had
arrived, and he grew visibly distressed when Rama told him he must now go back
to Ayodhya.
The
emperor and my mother need you now more than ever. Tell them we are safe and at
peace.Embrace Bharata for me and make sure he is properly installed on the
throne.Console the people of Ayodhya,
for when they see my empty chariot they will know for certain that I have gone
to the forest. God speed!
Lakshmana
steadied the boat in the swift-flowing current as Sita nervously stepped in, and
then they were off, drifting quickly downstream. At the centre of the river
Sita spoke softly to the goddess in the waters imploring her to protect Rama
during their coming ordeal. Soon they were walking in single file, following
the southern bank of the Ganges, with Lakshmana in the lead and Sita protected
in the middle.
Now
begins forest life,' said Rama to Sita. 'Today you will walk where no humans
live.' That night, as they prepared to sleep beneath the shelter of a great
banyan tree, Rama's heart

peaceful hearts.
AYODHYA IN GRIEF
Sumantra
watched with a heavy heart as Rama's boat swiftly floated out across the River
Ganges. He camped beside the river for two more nights, hoping for Rama's
return. But when word came to him that the three travellers had been seen on
the path to Chitrakoot, he gave up hope and set off back to Ayodhya. Two days
later, with empty chariot and weeping horses, he entered the desolate city.
The
emperor and queen pressed him for news of Rama. They wanted every last detail,
hoping against hope for Rama's return. Sumantra, 4 delivered Rama's messages but
he only succeeded in confirming what everyone already feared:
Rama,
Sita and Lakshmana would not be seen again in Ayodhya for fourteen years. Faced
with the awful finality of what he had done, the emperor was lost in anocean
of despair in which his breathing was a whirlpool, his crying was crashing
waves, Kaikeyi's words were alligators and the opposite shore was Sita and
Rama.
Take me
to Rama and Sita,' begged Kausalya, 'take me there quickly on your chariot, or
I shall instead go to the house of Death. Your foolishness has destroyed us
all,' she accused her husband bitterly. Then, in remorse, she took his
trembling hands: 'My love, I should not speak to you so. Grief has destroyed my
patience. These last five nights have seemed like five years.' But her harsh
words penetrated the emperor's dull consciousness like a sharp sword. He fell
into an uneasy sleep in which distant memories flooded his mind.
Once
more he was a young prince, proud and handsome, and he loved to hunt. One night
he ventured alone into the
|
{

]
}
| 13,778,616
|
jungle to practice the skill of shooting at an
unseen target, aiming by sound only, and waited in the darkness beside a pond.
He heard a gurgling sound which he thought was the sound of an elephant
drinking, and released a serpent-like arrow. From the darkness he heard a human
cry. In horror, he ran forward and discovered a young boy pierced through the
heart by his arrow. The sound he had heard was the sound of the boy filling a
water-pot, which now lay beside him. Blood trickled from the boy's mouth.
O
shame!' cried the boy, 'who has done this terrible deed? I have no enemy and I
am the only support of my parents who are blind and invalid. I came here to
draw water for them, but now I am mortally wounded and canflourish, and
holy men are neglected. Without its emperor, Ayodhya was a night without stars.
Kausalya found the dead emperor and cried out,
Kaikeyi,
you have your wish: the kingdom is yours. I shall follow my dead husband into
the flames.
Ministers
took away the body of Dasaratha and preserved it in oil until a son could be
brought to perform the funeral rites. They decided that Bharata should be made
king, and they sent messengers to Kekaya to fetch him and his younger brother
Satrughna. The messengers rode with lavish gifts for the Kekaya king, through
four days and three nights.
In
Kekaya, Bharata was uneasy. His mind was filled with disturbing images from his
dreams. He saw his father lying in a muddy pool. He saw the earth shake, volcanoes
erupt and the moon fall from the sky. Then he saw
|
{
"pile_set_name": [
"Pile-CC",
"Pile-CC"
]
}
| 13,778,618
|
his father, garlanded with
red flowers, dragged southwards in a chariot pulled by donkeys.
When
the messengers arrived from Ayodhya he was not surprised. They revealed
nothing, only that he was needed urgently. But he knew. When such things are dreamed,
one prepares for death.
Burdened
with gifts from the Kekaya monarch and accompanied by a small army,
He set
off in convoy for Ayodhya, reaching their seven days later, ten days after the
demise of his father, and fifteen days after Rama's departure. Arriving at the
gates, he saw the city streets empty and upswept and his apprehension grew.
Immediately
Bharata rushed to his father's apartments, but they were empty. He went to find
Kaikeyi.
Where is
father? Is he not with you?'
O son!
Your father is no more.
Hearing
the dreaded words, Bharata fell down and began beating the floor with his
powerful arms.
Get up!
You mustbody, which was decked with jewels and flowers. He lit the fire and
watched as his father's remains were reduced to ashes. Then, as was the custom,
he stayed with his family in seclusion for twelve days of mourning. On the
thirteenth day he returned to the cremation ground to collect his father's
whitened bones. Crying inconsolably, he and Satrughna tossed the bones and
ashes into the river.
Life
and death, joy and sorrow, gain and loss,' intoned Vasistha. 'These dualities
cannot be avoided. Learn to accept what you cannot change and give up sorrow.'
IN SEARCH OF RAMA
Vasistha
wanted normal life restored to the troubled kingdom, so he urged Bharata to
accept the throne.
You are
now the heir, as ordained by your father. Take what is rightfully yours.' But
Bharata was not to be tempted. 'The throne, and I myself,
|
{
"pile_set_name": [
"Pile-CC",
"Pile-CC"
]
}
| 13,778,622
|
belong to Rama. I
will bring him back to Ayodhya and put him on the throne, while I take his
place in the forest.'
Accordingly,
Bharata ordered a great expedition to go in search of Rama. It was to be made
up of a vast army of elephants, chariots and cavalry. To prepare the way, teams
of engineers worked day and night to transform the path to the Ganges into
broad highway lined with trees, with magnificent pavilions along the way. All
this activity inspired the people of Ayodhya. With Bharata as their commander,
they felt renewed hope, and the leading citizens joined the expedition in
festive mood.
Early
one morning when all was ready, Bharata, the hero of the Lksvaku race, set off
followed by the vast host of lksvaku: archers borne in chariots; richly
decorated elephants; mounted cavalry; and intheir midst the three queens of
Ayodhya riding in chariots of royal splendor. All minds were fixed on the
joyful prospect of finding Rama. Soon they reached the Ganges, where the huge
company halted for the night.
Guha,
the tribal chief loyal t-o Rama, saw the army entering his territory and was
uneasy, wondering at Bharata's motive in pursuing Rama with an army. Bearing
gifts of honey and mango-pulp, he went down to meet him.
How
could I have any evil intentions towards my elder brother, who is just like a
father to me?' Bharata assured him. 'We want Rama to come back and be king.'
Bharata appeared confident of achieving this, but secretly he wondered whether
he could succeed. Reassured of Bharata's good intentions, Cuba offered to help
them across the Ganges and guide them to their next stop, the
|

hermitage of
Bharadvaja.
That
night Guha showed Bharata and his mothers the place where Rama and Sita had
spent the night, guarded by Lakshmana.
See
here the blades of grass crushed as Rama slept,' said Bharata, 'and here the
strands of gold thread from Sita's cloth which have stuck to the hard ground
where she lay. A devoted wife will undergo any hardship in the company of her
lord. For myself, I vow to sleep on the bare ground and live on fruits and
roots in the forest for the remainder of Rama's exile, so that his vow will be
fulfilled.
Bharata
could not hide his emotions and fell to the ground in tears. He was con-soled
by Kausalya, who hugged him close to her breast. 'Be strong, Bharata. You are
now my only support.'
The Lksvaku
host crossed the River Ganges on five hundredback in the forest outside Bharadvaja's ashram
as if nothing had happened.
Bharata
and his family took grateful leave of Bharadvaja. But before they left, the
sage wanted to greet Bharata's mothers. Bharata respectfully introduced
Kausalya and Sumitra, but when he came to Kaikeyi his demeanour changed.
This is
proud and cruel Kaikeyi. She is the cause of all our suffering.' His voice
choked with tears of anger as he spoke.
Do not
hate Kaikeyi,' admonished the sage, 'for Rama's banishment serves a deep
purpose, and will yet bring happiness to all.
With
Bharadvaja's advice ringing in his ears, Bharata set off with his army on the
final march to Chitrakoot. Soldiers, chariots, horses and elephants moved
through the dense forest like a monsoon cloud, scattering the deer and bears
and driving squawking birds into the tree-tops. They found Chitrakoot Hill
abundant with spotted deer

and forest flowers. A scout called out.
Ahead I
see smoke rising among the trees. This surely is Rama's camp!
Word
reached Bharata who ordered the troops to halt while he went forward with
Sumantra, the king's trusted adviser, his eyes fixed nervously on the thin blue
column of smoke ahead.
ACCEPTING THE INEVITABLE
Arm in
arm with Sita, Rama walked in the groves of Chitrakoot. He was happy to be here
with only Sita and Lakshmana for company, and didn't in the least miss his
friends and family or the burdens of state back home.
See how
lovely this mountain is. It is home to tigers and bears who will not harm Ifs,
to deer and flocks of birds. Brightly coloured flowers grow among the rocks of
many hues. Mangoes, papayas, pomegranates and other fruits hang in abundance
among the flowering trees. Nearbyimmediately.
Corrected
by his elder brother, Lakshmana felt ashamed. 'Perhaps it may be father who has
come to see you,' he conceded. 'You are right, Lakshmana. He understands our
trials in the forest and has come to take us home. But can you see the royal
insignia of his white umbrella?' Lakshmana could not, and despondently climbed
down to the ground.
Meanwhile,
Bharata climbed steadily with his companions up through the trees, his eyes
fixed above him on t he column of smoke. Some distance behind, at a slower
pace, followed Vasistha and the three queens. Bharata came to a halt. Before
him the hill-side leveled off and he saw in a clearing three small huts built
from leafy' branches. Beside them leaned shining bows and quivers, with swords
and shields emblazoned with flowers of gold. In front of the huts

his father's spirit. Returning to the huts he clasped Bharata, Lakshmana
and Satrughna and together they poured out their grief. Far below the waiting
troops heard their cries, like the roaring of lions, and knew the brothers were
united once more.
Forest
animals fled and birds flew confused into the sky. The soldiers converged from
all sides, unable to bear the separation from Rama. Their faces bathed in
tears, they burst into the clearing and crowded around Rama. Some fell at his
feet, some embraced him, while others simply gazed on his face.
Soon
Vasistha arrived with the queens. Rama touched his feet with respect. Many
tears and hugs were exchanged and the company sat and talked as darkness fell.
In the
morning, all settled down in a circle, full of curiosity to hear what would be
said, with Rama and Bharatayears, I will die by entering
fire.
'So be it!' concluded Rama. He embraced Bharata
with tearful eyes.
Forgive
your mother and take care of' her.
He
turned to his mothers, who were choked with tears, and said goodbye. With a
long look at their beloved Rama, unshaken in his duty like the Himalaya Mountains,
the crowd backed away in awe. He turned and entered his cottage as the crowd
melted into the trees. Inside the cottage with Sita and Lakshmana, he sat down
and wept.
Bharata
had done his best. Now he took Rama's words to heart. Accepting what could not
be changed; he returned to Ayodhya with Rama's sandals and shed no more tears.
On
reaching Ayodhya he found it darkened like a cloudy sky, its streets empty and
silent. His father's chambers, where so many tragic events had occurred in the
last three

months, seemed like an empty cave holding the memory of a great lion
that had once lived there. After bringing his mothers safely back to their quarters
he made an announcement.
I shall
not live here without Rama. I will stay at the lonely retreat of Nandigram,
fourteen miles from here.
Leaving
his mothers in the care of Vasistha and taking with him Satrughna and the royal
army, he left for Nandigram. There he installed Rama's sandals on the throne
and placed over them the royal umbrella. When affairs of state were brought to
him he first submitted them before Rama in the guise of his shoes. In this way,
dressed as a forest ascetic with his hair unkempt and eating only fruits and
roots, Bharata governed the kingdom and waited for Rama's return.
After
Bharata's visit Rama was no longer happyin Chitrakoot. It held painful
memories, and the disruption caused by Bharata's army had lured man-eating
demons to the area, which started disturbing the ascetics who lived there. It
was rumored that they were led by Khara, the cruel brother of Ravana. The
leader of the forest sages came to warn Rama of the danger, then he and his
followers left in search of safer parts. Although they left Rama, the sages
never forgot his beauty and gravity, and felt his presence always with them in
their hearts.
So Rama
led his companions deeper into the wild regions of Dandaka Forest. Their first
stop was the ashram of Atri. The sage asked Rama to protect the forest
community from the rakshasas, who lived on human blood. He explained to the
fearless Rama and Lakshmana where they were to be found.

was named Anasuya, 'one without envy', for in her heart there was no
anger. Frail and white-haired after a long life of simplicity and self-denial, she
gathered Sita in her arms.
Fortunate
are you,' she said, 'because your eyes are always fixed upon your husband. A
woman has no greater friend than her husband. Be virtuous and devote yourself
to him and you will be rewarded in heaven.
She
blessed Sita with enchanted ornaments and smeared on her skin celestial balm,
so that her radiance would never fade amid the hardships of the jungle. Then
she wished to hear from Sita the story of her marriage, and listened with rapt
attention as Sita recounted how Rama had won her hand. While they sat together,
the sun sank over the horizon.
Listen
to the cooing of the birds as they settle in theirnests,' she said, 'and see
the trees fading into twilight. Now the moon rises among the stars and demons
of the night creep from their lairs. I wish to hear more of your sweet words
but it is time for you to join your glorious husband.
Then
Sita adorned herself with Anasuya's gifts and bowed before her. Sita came
before Rama shining like the moon. They spent the night in peace and departed
at dawn, following the path pointed out to them by their host Atri. Rama, the
scourge of his enemies, with Sita and Lakshmana, disappeared into the deep
forest as the sun vanishes into a bank of clouds.

Rashford was the catalyst
So much of the evening was unnerving. Vigo were dominating possession and it seemed Jose Mourinho was persisting with his philosophy of absorbing the opposition no matter how strong or weak they seem. Fortunately, they overcame the sluggish start when Marcus Rashford was on the ball.
The youngster has stardust in his boots and the momentum temporarily shifted when he picked out Marouane Fellaini on 17 minutes.
United felt they were on the way to Stockholm then and it should have been a procession but this was a spirited display from the visitors who kept possession for much of the night and kept the game on edge.
But what more can Rashford do to convince Jose he is the long-term solution in attack? Score more? Create more?

has been implemented this year following a market outside Central Lat Phrao in Chatuchak district and Bang Kapi market in Bang Kapi district.
As for Talat Laos which currently serves as a temporary vending area, the City Law Enforcement Department will submit a letter to reclaim the area to Mr Sakoltee for approval by this week.
Mr Sakoltee said the relocation would also be applied to vendors at the market outside Wat Hua Lamphong, which was previously designated for temporary vending after 7pm in an agreement between vendors and the Bang Rak district office.
However, they later breached the agreement and would be moved to Phong Phra Ram market, a much quieter area, he said.
Mr Sakoltee insisted new vending locations must be prepared for all vendors, adding that the scheme initiatedby Pol Gen Asawin had received positive feedback from the public.
Earlier, City Hall also reclaimed pavements and road surfaces in the Saphan Lek and Pak Klong markets.
In another development, the BMA's deputy permanent secretary Chakkraphan Phewngam said Tuesday that three more houses on Klong Prem Prachakorn in Laksi district were to be demolished soon to pave the way for the construction of a 891-metre shortcut linking the Government Complex to Kamphaeng Phet 6 Road.
The three are among the 12 houses awaiting demolition, of which six lie along Klong Prem Prachakorn and the remaining along Klong Bang Talat.
According to Mr Chakkraphan, the project has been delayed due to a number of residents' houses encroaching on public canals where the road would pass.
The construction will be completed by October.

As we come to Day 10 of the Advent calendar and the Christmas Adventures of the Purple Elephant and the Little Mouse we find the animals busy fixing up the house for the arrival of the Purple Elephant's herd. As the Purple Elephant explained again this year although most of us were at the Production House last year and had seen them and heard this explanation already...not all the elephants in the Purple Elephant's herd were purple! Well some were blue...some grey like your typical elephant known to man and some were even red...others brown and yes the elephants explained to us...some were even white! And no not just albinos but actually white for you see it was not just a fable...indeed the legend of the Maharaja's white

Indian elephant was true! The Purple Elephant's herd also transcended geographical borders and species and so the herd consisted of Asian elephants as well as African ones and they both learned traits from each other! However the greatest kept secret of the herd that we are about to reveal only on this year's Advent calendar since he did not visit the Production House last year...is this!:
One of the members of the Purple Elephant's herd is not even an elephant at all! He is actually a wooly mammoth! Yes indeed! And no your ears aren't playing tricks on ya! The elephant herd found him one day when he had wandered down from Alaska where he had remained frozen but then thawed due to global warming in 2008 and hadroamed down to Canada where the elephant herd had gone to the Toronto zoo to visit a relative there. The wooly mammoth then asked since he had learnt from the other elephants that he was the last of his kind...if he could join their herd? The leader of the herd a blue elephant called Akash said then that yes indeed he could join them and the wooly mammoth was very excited and grateful and has been with the herd since then! He was particularly aggrieved when he learnt of the passing of Tessa at the Toronto zoo the following year! As she was the first elephant he had spoken to when he had gotten to the Toronto zoo! We at the Production House had heard of her passing

Elephant...well at least for now...
ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 4: 4 DEC 2010
As we said yesterday the monkeys were listening to the Purple Elephant but...yep as you might expect the monkeys being monkeys by nature started a set of mayhem as soon as the Purple Elephant had gone to the airport to pick up two bears from the Ashdown Forest in Sussex, England. These bears were distant relatives of the famous Winnie the Pooh and often like Pooh did not know what to do. So the Purple Elephant had a hard time tracking them down in the airport but finally got them on his back and brought them to the Production House. But when the poor Purple Elephant thought he was about to see the new extension completed for thebut not enough for all the pillows and when the Purple Elephant inquired as to why this was the case he was told because the ducks were on strike and so the volume of down being produced was reduced. From there he went to the bees to get some honey for the bears and luckily so far this year they weren't on strike!
When the Purple Elephant came back to the house the monkeys again had a dawning of enlightenment and were heads bent low. They came up to the Purple Elephant fidgeting and said that they had heard of the duck strike and figured as much… that the Purple Elephant would not get enough down for all the pillows so that the monkeys would be willing to first

the Warrigal wakes and listens and takes To the woods that shelter the prey! When the Warrigal wakes And listens and takes To the woods that shelter the prey!
In the gully-deeps the blind creek sleeps, And the silver showery moonGlides over the hills, and floats and fills And dreams in the dark lagoon While, halting hard by the station yard, Aghast at the hut-flame nigh,The Warrigal yells,and the flats and fells Are loud with his dismal cry! The Warrigal yells, And the flats and fells Are loud with his dismal cry!
On the topmost peak of mountains bleak The south wind sobs and strays,Through moaning pine and turpentine And the rippling runnel ways;And strong streams flow and great mists go Where the Warrigal starts to hearThe watchdog's bark breakand shine,His bed is made of the dead grass-blade And the leaves of the windy pine. His bed is made Of the dead grass-blade And the leaves of the windy pine.
He roves through the lands of sultry sands, He hunts in the iron range, Untamed as surge of the far sea-verge And fierce and fickle and strange. The white man's track and the haunts of tbe black He shuns and shudders to see, For his joy he tastes, in lonely wastes, Where his mates are torrent and tree! For his joy he tastes, In lonely wastes, Where his mates are torrent and tree!

Her lips were a red peril To set men quiveringAnd in her feet there lived the ache And the green lilt of Spring.
'Twas on a night of red blossoms, Oh, she was a wild wine!The colour of all the hours Lie in this heart ofmine.
I was impelled by the white moon And the deep eyes of the Spring,And the voices of purple flutes Waltzing and wavering.
Of all the bloom most delicate Sipping the gold airWas a round girl with round arms, The Girl with the Black Hair.
Her breath was the breath of roses, White roses clean and clear,Her eyes were blue as the high heavens Where God is always near.
Her lips were a red peril To set men quiveringAnd in her feet there lived the ache And the green lilt of Spring.

Medieval myths even believed the sea was continued over our heads: worshippers coming out of a church in East Anglia claimed to find an anchor entangled on a gravestone, and a strange being climbing down the rope from an unseen ship in the sky, only to evaporate under the unnatural pressure.
It wasn't until 1773 that Constantine John Phipps, second Baron Mulgrave, officer in the Royal Navy and the first European to properly describe the polar bear, began to sound the ocean bed. Phipps employed a lead weighted line to measure the distance between himself, an 18th-century surveyor, and the bottom of the ancient sea between Iceland and Norway. That strand of hemp linked the Enlightenment with the prehistory of the earth. It drew 683 fathoms, 4,098 feet, andfor a century, remained the deepest known measurement of the ocean.
It took 200 years for humans to explore the ultimate profound, with the descent of the bathyscaphe Trieste nearly seven miles into the Mariana Trench in the Pacific in 1960, creaking as it took five and a half hours to reach the bottom, only to discover its arrival had stirred up so much silt it proved impossible for its two-man crew of aquanauts to see what lay beyond its portholes. The blindness was emblematic. Until then, it was thought that the world above had changed, but the ocean below had not. Or so we assumed.
Until the 1980s, Britain was routinely dumping nuclear waste on its watery doorstep in the north-east Atlantic. Heavy metals, organochlorines and PCBs, byproducts of

Art and craft are very colourful and vibrant. They are mainly based on religion and on their way of life.
Indian art and crafts are truly fascinating; it is incredible how ancient practices and traditions have continued since time immemorial.
The history of India is a story of unbroken traditions that have continued for over 5000 years. For centuries, Indian handicrafts have been distinguished for their aesthetic and functional value. Indian art has been influenced by many factors, mainly religious, political and social. India is a land of immense diversity. Various traditions, rituals, geographic and climatic conditions, lifestyles and cultures have given birth to numerous styles and designs. It has gradually evolved with the evolution of the civilization.
Techniques have been experimented and perfected upon through centuries. Indian artsqueezed near the rear of the stapler. The handle may be attached along the top or the bottom of the stapler. A hand grips typically around the handle and the body to operate the stapler. A distinct feature of a pliers type stapler is the user's hand is remote from the location of the staple; the hand can thus be spaced away from the work piece. In the typical prior art pliers stapler, the handle is hinged at a position rearward of the front end as defined by the striker location.
