Detroit's recent troubles.
The Lions will still claim a postseason spot due to a manageable schedule and the collapse of the Chicago Bears. However, Jim Schwartz and company are too inexperienced and undisciplined to compete with conference elite like the Saints and Packers.
Detroit have an extremely talented roster, and they should be able to contend for years to come. This season, however, will end in an embarrassing loss that highlights the team's weaknesses.
With the struggling Raiders facing an extremely difficult schedule, the Broncos will be able to swoop in and claim a postseason berth. Tim Tebow has been lights out in Mile High all year long, and he has quickly turned the Broncos into the hottest team in the league.

Denver's defense has been absolutely terrific the lastfew weeks, as they have held four of their last five opponents to thirteen points or less. However, the defensive unit is yet to play an elite offense like those that will be in the postseason.
The offense has been awful for three quarters in most of Denver's games, before miraculously pulling it together late. In the postseason, however, a subpar offense will not be able to pull off stunning comebacks after three quarters of awful play.
The Broncos are likely to play either the Ravens or the Steelers in the first round of the playoffs. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh possess electrifying offenses that are too quick and physical for the Denver defense to handle. The elite AFC North squads also boast two of the game's best defenses.

is the country's historic and moral duty to stand by its allies, in whatever small way it can. Military action has the potential to slow the momentum of ISIL's territorial gains, but is hardly a panacea to the threat it poses.
Canada's opposition should have focused on larger strategic questions: How will Canada limit civilian casualties in airstrikes? How can Canada assist the Iraqi government in building institutional capabilities to combat ISIL? How can Canada exert meaningful diplomatic pressure in the region to stem the flow of weapons and money to ISIL. Another valid question is whether Canada should make a more robust, long-term military commitment to the international military effort against ISIL.
In the end, Canada's decision to participate in international air strikes was the right one. Sending humanitarianassistance to the region is important, but it's not enough. In Canada, the debate will surely continue - because there is no point in pretending six months of air sorties will solve anything.

I'm really delighted
at this moment
to be able to share
with you all some
of the highlights from Philip's
career before he dives in.
Philip Jones has been a
curator in the South Australian
Museum's Department of
Anthropology since the 1980s.
Apparently, he was
a volunteer there
when he first
started out in 1981.
His doctoral thesis
concerns the history
of Australian
ethnographic collections,
based on an analysis
of 1,300 collectors
and their collections,
which is an impressive feat
for a doctoral student.
He's worked with several other
anthropologists and linguists.
He's undertaken fieldwork
in southern South Australia,
the Simpson Desert
in Central Australia.
And as a museum curator who is
expected to produce exhibitions
and publications,
he came to realize
at one point in his career
that research should not
be open-ended but should
result in a clear contribution
to knowledge, and ideally,
that this contribution should
be accessible and useful
to descendant communities.
His fieldwork with
Aboriginal people
has resulted in a large number
of publications on history,
art, andethnography.
He has five books and about
30 articles and chapters,
and more than 30 exhibitions
curated from his base
at the South Australian Museum.
That museum is
the one that holds
the largest and most
representative collection
of Aboriginal material culture.
In Australia, he pioneered a new
approach to museum ethnography,
where he uses history
of particular objects
and their biographies
as entry points
into new examinations
of the frontier
of the zone of
encounter, characterized
by mutual curiosity
engagement just as much
as a zone of violence
and exploitation.
He used this approach
in his 2000 book, Ocher
and Rust, Artifacts
and Encounters
on Australian Frontiers,
an amazing book which
you should all check
out, which also
won the inaugural Prime
Minister's Award for Literary
Non-fiction in 2008.
In recent years, his
field of interest
has widened further
beyond the borders
of the Australian continent to
include scientific expeditions
and ethnography from
further on in the field.
And during 2001, Philip began
intensive investigations
on Australian
Aboriginal collections
outside of Australia,
so in European museums.
And

his placement here
at the Peabody Museum
has really enabled him to extend
this investigation to North
American museums,
and particularly
through the
fortunate partnership
between the universities both
at Harvard and at Adelaide
in South Australia
during the 1930s, which
has resulted in a collection
that, as you heard,
he'll talk about today.
And while he studies these
intriguing historical figures,
Philip is a fascinating
man in his own right.
I recently found out
that in his spare time,
Philip retreats to a cottage
in the bush in Adelaide
in Australia and
distills eucalyptus oil.
I personally have watched him
studying a singular object
for hours and days.
Well, I haven't watched him for
hours or days, but I go back
and he's still studying
the same object.
And he's carefully sketching
every single detail,
and the results are truly
kind of amazing works
of art in their own right.
And I've no doubt that
they will one day also
be present in a museum
collection orlittle
beyond reinforcing
a rather easily formed,
rather simplistic conclusion
that ethnographic collecting has
been integral to colonialism,
and must, therefore, be
subject to the same critique.
Now, this seems
reasonable on the surface,
until we begin to
recognize and differentiate
between the different
forms of collecting
and the actual biographies
of objects in collections
and begin to understand
that these differ widely.
Couple of years ago, I
attended a conference
in Berlin, which was
examining the detailed history
of collecting events occurring
during the sacking of Benin
City in West Africa during 1897,
The sacking of Beijing Summer
Palace during the Opium Wars,
the Namibian massacres of 1904,
and other instances of
violent colonial acquisitions
of treasured heritage.
These collecting
events, you might say,
were little more than looting.
Spectacular examples,
undoubtedly,
but looting or theft can occur
on any scale on any frontier.
And that certainly
happened in Australia.
Facing those realities
is part of a curator's
brief these days, so that
a historian's skill set
has to be added

in The Commitments, The Snapper and The Van.
The 66-year-old boasts a film CV to savour, appearing in everything from Die Hard 2 and Con Air, through to Layer Cake, The Damned United and the Alan Partridge movie. An enduring and versatile performer, Meaney's success extended to the world of television too.
Early guest appearances on Remington Steele and Moonlighting gave him an early taste of small screen success, but his big break in the medium came in 1987 with the role of Transporter Chief Miles O'Brien on the hit series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Meaney enjoyed six successful years on the show, with the popularity of his character resulting in Chief O'Brien making the switch to spin-off show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where he played a more prominentpart in proceedings.
A popular figure among Star Trek fans, O'Brien made an astonishing 225 episode credits to his name - more than any other actor in the franchise save for Michael Dorn.
More recently still, Meaney played ruthless railroad magnate Thomas Durant on AMC's hit drama series Hell on Wheels.
In 2017, Meaney won the Best Actor IFTA for his portrayal of Irish politician Martin McGuinness in the film The Journey.
He appeared in two major film releases in 2019, Tolkein and Seberg, with a third film, The Banker, set to arrive later this year.
An actor who will need little in the way of an introduction on the night, Meaney's presence alone is sure to make it an occasion to remember.

caused by the IRS's setoff in violation of the automatic stay. The trustee was required to write a letter demanding that the setoff be reversed. The trustee mistakenly sent the letter to the Service Center in Memphis, and that caused a long delay in getting the setoff reversed. The IRS reversed the setoff soon after the letter finally reached Special Procedures in Nashville. The court doubts that the trustee brought this suit as a result of the IRS's setoff in violation of the automatic stay. It may have added to his arguments, but the trustee is simply trying to recover the tax refund for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate. He is using all the arguments he can find to prevent the IRS from keeping the refund.

They were going to stage their own version of the celebrity wedding and run the pictures a week early. The photographer snapped a fake Wayne Rooney and a fake Joe Hart, who both looked on with forced smiles. You were pictured with the fake best man and fake registrar as the photographer asked you to look nervous, then happy, then happier still.
When your Lauren started walking down the aisle littered with rose petals your smile was genuine. She was stunning. Your palms started to clam up. Then the photographer pulled you out of the way to get a better shot of Lauren. After that she was dashed to the front and the falconer was called in. The best man held out a red velvet cushion. The falconer whistleddashed towards you. Keith had a promotion, if Danny Mann scored, pints were half-price. The place was rocking for the rest of the night. Everyone was asking you if England could really do it, and you promised that they could.
A draw would be good enough to put England into the second round in their final game. England went a goal down early in the second half. The mood in the bar had soured and people were giving you dirty looks as Danny Mann misplaced a number of passes. His frustration boiled over with a wild challenge that earned him a yellow card. The England manager had his substitutes warming up. Knowing he might not have long left in the tournament Danny Mann attempted a ridiculous lob from the

runways, at street intersections, along subway and railroad tracks, and at railroad crossings, specific lighting is required to be on continuously at all times without interruption for safety reasons. In other above ground exterior spaces, such as adjacent to the exteriors of buildings, lighting is required only at night. The intensity of exterior lighting, whether it is required during the day, at night, or around the clock, must be sufficient to achieve its purpose. For example, the lighting provided along an airport runway, taxiway, or other ground area must clearly highlight the boundaries of these areas at all times to enable the aircraft to locate them accurately during landing, take off, and taxi.

by a malfunctioning refrigerator on one of the building's lower floors. The rapid spread of the fire, however, has been blamed on cladding that had been installed as part of a renovation.
In April of this year, a BRE Global report on the fire was leaked to the Evening Standard, and it alleged that the fire might have been avoided if construction crews had complied with certain safety measures during the renovation. The report said that in addition to the cladding and insulation being highly flammable, the quality of construction was poor. According to BRE, the building's cavity barriers were too small and incorrectly installed, creating a path for the fire instead of stopping it like the barriers were supposed to do.

Timothy Dolan
The media are the frequent target for many bishops in the church. New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan sarcastically reported to his fellow bishops last week that the recent synod on the family in Rome was actually fairly boring despite the media's preoccupation with conflict emanating from the synod. The media, in the eyes of many bishops and laypeople, are always the bad actor when it comes to coverage of the church.
The New York archdiocese, with the second-largest Catholic population in the country and an unparalleled place in U.S. church history, is shrinking: Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Sunday announced that nearly a third of the archdiocese's 368 parishes would be merging, and some would close.

Ultra-Orthodox men are exempt from military service if they are engaged in religious study, but must still report to the army to receive their exemption.
In September, a decision by Israel's supreme court struck down the law exempting them. But the court suspended its ruling for a year, giving the government time to pass new legislation.

was his first trip to the island, Kyle said.
After arriving in Taiwan in March, Kyle's family lived in Taipei, where his third child was born, until May when they moved to a rented house in a mountainous village of Puli Township in Central Taiwan's Nantou County.
Kyle made a living by selling wheat cakes beside the Paper Dome in Puli Township at 3 p.m. every day, but such a hard life triggered complaints from his wife. When returning home one day in September, Kyle found that his wife and three children were not home.
Kyle confessed to police about overstaying his visa and asked for assistance in locating the whereabouts of his wife and children. It was confirmed later that his family members had already returned to the U.S. inSeptember.
Nevertheless, Kyle was still unwilling to return to the U.S. on the grounds that Americans show too great regard for fame and wealth. He then incinerated his passport to show his determination to stay.
Kyle said that over the past four months he has made good friends with many people in Taomi village for they are humble, friendly and love nature.
In Kyle's rented house, there was no television set and only some simple chairs and desks piled with Bibles and other religious books.
He called for the government here to issue him citizenship.
But the Nantou branch of the National Immigration Agency said that Kyle should have been sent to a shelter house awaiting repatriation, but out of humanitarian concern, the agency is only requiring Kyle to voluntarily leave Taiwan before

a wife and the mistress of a family, which
Lemuel's mother drew up, not as an encomium of herself, though, no
doubt, it was her own true picture, but either as an instruction to
her daughters, as the foregoing verses were to her son, or as a
direction to her son in the choice of a wife; she must be chaste
and modest, diligent and frugal, dutiful to her husband, careful of
her family, discreet in her discourse, and in the education of her
children, and, above all, conscientious in her duty to God: such a
one as this, if he can find her, will make him happy, ver. 10-31.
Maternal Counsels to King
Lemuel.
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that
his mother taught him. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of
my womb? and what,to her
maidens. 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the
fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 17 She girdeth
her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 18 She
perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth
not out by night. 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff. 20 She stretcheth out her
hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all
her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She maketh
herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and
purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he
sitteth among the elders of the land. 24 She maketh fine
linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the
merchant.

is amiss among them, and oblige them all to
behave properly and do their duty to God and one another, as well
as to her; as Job, who put away iniquity far from his tabernacle,
and David, who would suffer no wicked thing in his house. She does
not intermeddle in the concerns of other people's houses; she
thinks it enough for her to look well to her own.
5. She is charitable to the poor,v. 20. She is as
intent upon giving as she is upon getting; she often serves the
poor with her own hand, and she does if freely, cheerfully, and
very liberally, with an out-stretched hand. Nor does she relieve
her poor neighbours only, and those that are nigh at hand, but
she reaches forth her hands to the needy that are at a
distance, seekingclothing, in
which she wraps herself, that is, enjoys herself, and in which she
appears to the world, and so recommends herself. She enjoys a
firmness and constancy of mind, has spirit to bear up under the
many crosses and disappointments which even the wise and virtuous
must expect to meet with in this world; and this is her clothing,
for defence as well as decency. She deals honourably with all, and
she has the pleasure of doing so, and shall rejoice in time to
come; she shall reflect upon it with comfort, when she comes to
be old, that she was not idle or useless when she was young. In the
day of death it will be a pleasure to her to think that she has
lived to some good purpose. Nay, she shall rejoice in an

investigated over their failed business venture, Byrne says.
But it was impossible to do so with Chinagate, where the Chinese government allegedly used shell companies to donate to Democrats to buy access for Chinese goods to be imported to the US.
The Clintons allegedly forced their agents to collude in the 1996 'Chinagate' scandal in which the Chinese government was accused of using shell companies to donate to Democrats to buy access for Chinese goods to be imported to the US
Scandal: In 1995, Ng Lap Seng was photographed meeting President Clinton in Georgetown. The Secret Service also knowingly allowed Chinese officials - disguised in civilian clothing - to meet with White House personnel and logged them in as 'business guests.' Seng avoided prosecution over claims he gave illegal campaign donations
TheSecret Service 'knowingly allowed Chinese generals, disguised in civilian clothing, to meet administration personnel at the White House and logged them as 'business guests' at the administration's request so as to avoid transparency'.
The agency also 'willfully ignored the contents of the generals' paper bags brought to those meetings'.
The Clinton White House would later be accused of accepting bribes but with no papertrail it was very difficult to prove it.
Byrne's previous book, Crisis of Character, was just as damning about the Clintons and claimed that Hillary was so demanding that she drove many Secret Service agents to drugs and alcohol.
Hillary once threw a Bible at an agent on her detail and hit him on the back of the head, Byrne claimed. She also once gave Bill a black eye

during a fight, he writes in the book.
In recent years the Secret Service has been battered by scandals of its own doing that have raised grave questions over its competence.
In 2008 an employee caused an 'immense' security breach when they left computer backup tapes on a train in Washington, D.C.
Byrne also claims Hillary once threw a Bible at an agent on her detail and hit him on the back of the head. She also allegedly once gave Bill a black eye during a fight
The scandal only came to light four years later in 2012.
That same year 12 agents were put under investigation for using prostitutes in Cartegena, Colombia, on the eve of President Barack Obama's official visit - in the very hotel where he was staying.
Byrne's book paintsa picture of an agency in crisis which could be a danger to President Trump
Eight quit their posts while the others were cleared of 'serious misconduct', prompting the President to brand them 'knuckleheads'.
Amid the fallout, former Secret Service agents and commentators agreed that it was the worst scandal to hit the organisation in decades.
Last year an intruder roamed the grounds of the White House for 15 minutes even though the alarms were going off - because the Secret Service could not find him.
And in a separate bungle two Secret Service agents including a top member of the President's personal detail drove a car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late night party.
In January a senior Secret Service agent in Denver wrote on Facebook that she

running with all their might, brandishing
their knives and tomahawks, and yelling like demons.
There seemed no way of escape. Sam Hardwicke took little Judie up in his
arms, and, quick as thought calculated the chances of reaching the fort.
Clearly the only way in which he could possibly get there, was by
leaving his little sister to her fate and running for his life. But Sam
Hardwicke was not the sort of boy to do anything so cowardly as that.
Abandoning the thought of getting to the fort, he called to Tom to
follow him, and with Judie in his arms, he ran into a neighboring
thicket, where the three, with Joe, a black boy of twelve or thirteen
years who had followed them, concealed themselves in the bushes. Whether
they had been seen by the Indians orarrows of the Indians, and gave its
defenders a great advantage over the assailing force, which must, of
course, be exposed to a galling fire from the men behind the barriers.
As the stockade was about fifteen feet high, climbing over it was almost
wholly out of the question, and the only way to take the fort was to
rush upon it with fence rails, stop up the port-holes immediately in
front, and keep so close to the stockade as to escape the fire from
points to the right and left, while engaged in cutting down the timber
barrier. If the Indians could do this, their superior numbers would
enable them to rush in through the opening thus made, and then the
block-house would be the only refuge left to the white people. The
block-house was a building made

this case the Pure Land or Western Paradise of Amida. The original mandala, imported from China, was kept at the Taima temple. Because of this, such mandalas are often referred to as Taima mandalas. Amida is shown beneath a jeweled canopy, seated on a lotus throne. Like all celestial beings, he is rendered in gold to suggest the light, which emanates from his body. Surrounded by a heavenly host of bodhisattvas and musicians, Amida presides over the palaces and gardens of his Western Paradise. In the foreground, the souls of the faithful are shown being reborn on lotus blossoms, which rise from the reflection pond.
Paintings such as these were intended to help believers visualize Amida's paradise. By earnestly concentrating on Amida and his heavenly surroundings, constantly invoking hisname, followers could help ensure their rebirth in the Pure Land. There they would be free of all pain and suffering. Their eyes would be dazzled by trees of jewels. Various birds and musicians would create delightful music. The air would be fragrant, and the water in the rivers would run warm or cool according to each person's desires. In such a place without pain or want, the faithful could devote themselves fully to achieving enlightenment.
During the 11th century in Japan, when belief in Amida reached a high point, Japanese noblemen actually tried to recreate Amida's paradise on Earth. Built in 1053 by Fujiwara Yorimichi, a high-ranking nobleman, the Hoodo or Phoenix Hall of the Byodo-in temple closely resembles the Institute's painting of the Pure Land.

the dying. Rays of light radiate outward from Amida, whose body has been rendered in gold to emphasize his divinity. His robes, finely painted in thin, even lines, are delicately patterned with cut gold foil, known in Japanese as kirikane. The effect is one of great luxury and ease, foreshadowing the splendors of Western Paradise. Such a painting, hung by the bed, would have provided a focus for the dying person, bringing considerable comfort and hope in their final hours.
So compelling was the concept of Amida coming to welcome a soul at the moment of death, that several other deities also came to be depicted descending from the heavens. The swirling clouds beneath this figure indicate that it is also a raigo,a heavenly descent. A masterpiece of JapaneseBuddhist sculpture from the 13th century, here at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, represents the Bodhisattva Jizo. Jizo was believed to come to the aid of people condemned to the torments of hell.
He also was a popular protector of children and pregnant women. In this small, exquisitely carved example, Jizo holds a Buddhist wish-granting jewel in his left hand and a priest's staff in his right. Although he wears the patchwork robes of a monk, they are richly patterned with cut gold to suggest the sumptuous texture of richly woven silk.
Such works of art were compelling reminders of the gentle and compassionate nature of Buddhism. Each peaceful expression, suggesting enlightenment, brought hope and encouragement to all who longed for the blissful release of nirvana.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-212297 A discloses a prior art solenoid actuator of the hinged flapper type. The actuator includes an excitation coil wound around a coil bobbin, a core extending through the coil bobbin, and an armature extending along an axial direction of the coil. The core projects axially outwardly of the coil or the coil bobbin to provide a first pole end and a second pole end respectively at the opposite axial ends of the coil. The armature extends generally along the axial length of the coil and is pivotally supported to the core by means of a hinge spring with one end of the armature held close to the first pole end and with the other end held close to the second pole end. Uponenergization of the coil, a magnetic attraction force develops to attract the one end of the armature towards the second pole end, causing the armature to pivot against the bias of the hinge spring. In this prior art solenoid actuator, a yoke is attached to the first pole end of the core for magnetically couple the armature to the core as well as for holding the hinge spring on the side of the core. Although the solenoid actuator makes the use of the full length of the coil to give a relatively long stroke to one end of the armature, it requires the yoke as well as the hinge spring as discrete parts in addition to the core, the coil, and the coil bobbin, eventually increasing a cost

frozen to death, supplied the credence needed to make Maud's accusations plausible.
We've since been told that Maud's allegations were thoroughly investigated and he's been charged with making up a phony story.
But a decade ago in Saskatoon, race relations were in crisis. Official inquiries and media coverage were thick with political correctness suggesting starlight tours were the cause of the city's freezing deaths.
Civil unrest was in the air and something had to give as Saskatoon recorded a fourth case.
Darrell Night, an aboriginal man, huge in stature with a criminal record to match, complained that he too had been taken on a starlight tour, but lived to tell the tale.
Officially, when the dust settled, the nation was left to believe that these tours were a fact of life, but thatup. Police confirm that, after he attacked and pounded on a patrol car. For the police it was a usual case of too many calls and not enough cops. Once in custody, a belligerent Night settled down and came to an agreement with his arresting officers: If they drove him toward home and let him go, he'd be good.
Here the stories take different paths.
Night says he didn't know where he was dropped. The police say it was where he wanted to be and that he directed them to within walking distance of the Clancy apartments where he flopped regularly.
Night never froze. He never got frostbite. He was dressed appropriately. But he did renege on his reported deal. Instead of walking home he used a nearby phone to call

Europe came storming back into the Ryder Cup with a sensational clean sweep of the afternoon foursomes to take a 5-3 lead into Saturday's second day.
After the morning fourballs the USA had a 3-1 advantage and seemingly all the momentum as they look to retain the trophy and win on foreign soil for the first time in 25 years.
Europe's sole win in the first session came from Francesco Molinari and inspired debutant Tommy Fleetwood, who surged past a muted Patrick Reed and Tiger Woods 3&1.
With four-time major winner Rory McIlroy failing to register a single birdie as he and Thorbjorn Olesen were defeated 4&2 by Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, the portents looked dangerous for Thomas Bjorn's Europeans.
But in the alternate shot format the scoreboard turned blue asday, setting up the weekend wonderfully and delighting the huge home crowds.
Stenson and Rose lead charge once again
European captain Bjorn put his trust in reuniting a pairing that had played together seven times before in Ryder Cups, and Stenson and Rose got the post-lunch charge off to a blistering start as they went five up after 11 holes.
Johnson and Fowler won the next two holes but continued to struggle with a course set up to punish inaccuracy from the tee.
The touch both Americans had displayed on the greens in the morning deserted them too, and when Johnson came up short on the 16th Rose was able to secure the point by cosying the ball up to the hole.
Well as the Europeans were playing, the Americans were giving them

country. What began as sectarian crises in the North Eastern parts of the country has gradually evolved into terrorist activities in different parts of the country with attendant negative consequences on our national security.
3. Government, in an effort to find a lasting solution to the security threats occasioned by the activities of the Boko Haram sect, constituted a Presidential Committee under the Chairmanship of Ambassador Usman Gaji Galtimari, to ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the crises. While efforts are being made to implement the recommendations of the Committee, the crises have assumed a terrorist dimension with vital institutions of government including the United Nations Building and places of worship becoming targets of terrorist attacks.

I therefore urge the political leadership in the affected states and Local Government Areas to give maximum cooperation to the law enforcement agencies deployed to their respective communities to ensure that the situation is brought under control within the shortest possible time.
6. The Chief of Defence Staff, in collaboration with other Service Chiefs, has also been directed to set up a special force unit within the Armed Forces, with dedicated counter terrorism responsibilities.

ASRC and Frontier met again on August 18, 1987 to finalize the sale of the building. Some changes were made to the draft agreement which had been prepared for this meeting, including the addition of a clause requiring approval by the ASRC board of directors. The agreement was signed on August 18 subject to ASRC board approval which was obtained on August 19. The sale closed on October 9, 1987.
Jack White filed suit against Frontier claiming that it was entitled to a six percent commission. In Count I, it alleged that ASRC's contacts with Morrison were negotiations entitling Jack White to the commission. In Count II, it asserted that Frontier had breached its implied obligation of good faith and fair dealing by postponing

positioned in the vicinity of the most retarded angle phase or the most advanced angle phase. At this time, because the engine is started after once the engine is stopped, almost no oil exists in the fluid chambers. As a result, the camshaft repeatedly rotates in an advanced angle direction and a retarded angle direction by receiving a reaction force from an intake valve or an exhaust valve, which causes the partition portions provided at the driven-side rotation member to repeatedly and strongly make contact with side walls of the fluid chambers. A contact position between each of the partition portions and the side wall of each of the fluid chambers may be thus fluctuated, which may cause the most retarded angle phase and the most advanced anglevalve timing control apparatus, the first and second protrusion portions are formed at the partition portions, and also corresponding recess portions may be formed at the side walls of the fluid chambers so that the protrusion portions are fitted to the recess portions, which may lead to complicated configurations of the driving-side rotation member and the driven-side rotation member. In addition, because a contact area between the bolt in a bar form and the protrusion portion is relatively small, a contact portion of the protrusion portion relative to the bolt may be deformed and a tightening portion of the bolt may change or fluctuate by repeat contact between the bolt and the protrusion portion. The most retarded angle phase and the most advanced angle phase may still deviate

attempted robbery of the tourist home which they managed. The applicant's son ultimately was committed to institutional care as James was unable to provide proper care for him. The applicant remarried and has established a positive relationship with a stepson, although James and his second wife are currently separated.
During the six-month period from April to October, 1967, the applicant became involved in a series of bizarre criminal episodes which resulted in charges against him of conspiring to commit forgery, forgery and uttering, murder and accessory to commit murder, homicide and assault. The applicant pled nolo contendere to the charge of conspiracy to commit forgery of a bank check drawn by his mother, and, in September, 1968, he received a suspended sentence. He was found guilty of six countsof forgery and uttering arising out of the use of a misappropriated credit card and received a sentence of twenty months to five years incarceration. Full restitution was made prior to his arrest for this offense. Although arrested for murder and as an accessory to commit murder in the matter of the death of his first wife, the charges against James were dismissed without trial. Arrested on charges of homicide and assault arising out of a Halloween night stabbing of a gas station attendant by one of his companions, James was found not guilty. The applicant subsequently offered a plea of nolo contendere to simple assault, for which he received a suspended sentence.
The Halloween night stabbing incident occurred just after the applicant enrolled at the University of Baltimore

know him. And letters attesting to his good character are entitled to respectful consideration.... The record before us contains letters from a number of members of the legal and lay community, all to the effect that the applicant presently possesses the good moral character required of a member of the Maryland Bar. One letter, from a former Securities Commissioner of Maryland, for whom the applicant has worked as a law clerk, contains a particularly strong endorsement of his present good moral character and he testified to the same effect at the hearing. Other similarly impressive expressions of unqualified trust in applicant's moral character are also in evidence.
There was no evidence in the record even remotely suggesting that the applicant has been involved in any misconduct in the yearscharacter, we note that his criminal offenses all occurred within a six-month period in 1967, sixteen years ago, when the applicant was twenty-one years of age. A substantial and significant amount of time has thus passed since the criminal conduct occurred.
There can be no doubt that the applicant's criminal transgressions were serious and involved moral turpitude. The applicant has readily admitted his responsibility for and his participation in the crimes in which he was involved and his remorse is fully evident and genuine.
There are numerous letters in the record from members of the legal and lay community which evidence James' rehabilitation, all attesting to the fact that he is presently possessed of good moral character. Business associates and former employers, in particular, have high praise for the applicant

The Falcons placed the one-year, $15,209,000 franchise tag on Jarrett, who has developed into one of the most disruptive defensive tackles in the game. The Falcons have until July 15 to reach an extension with him. If no extension is reached, then Jarrett will play under the tag, and the team won't be able to extend him until after the Dec. 29 regular-season finale at Tampa Bay. The highest-paid defensive tackle is Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald at $22.5 million per year.

for workers and salary men remained stagnant and in some cases went down.
Many attribute the turnabout to the pressures of globalization, the threat of China and the realization by Japanese businessmen that stock market was not going to return to 1980s levels and bail them out. Beginning in the 1990s Japanese companies had began shifting production abroad, cutting costs, shedding extraneous businesses and reducing debt. The government stepped up efforts to attract foreign direct investment which was not needed in the past.
Growth was 2.7 percent in 2005 and 2.1 percent in 2006 and 2007. The expansion was led primarily by robust domestic demand and trade with China. This was seen as a sign that recovery was for real. Japanese banks had better shape as a result the strongeconomy and their success shedding bad loans. In May 2005, seven major banks said they had met government targets in slashing bad loans and making healthy profits. In 2006, the stock market soared to six year highs, land prices increased for the first time in more than a decade and deflation was declared all but dead.
Many companies benefitted from foreign sales and a weak yen. In February 2007 the Nikkei went above 18,000 for the 1st time in 7 years and hit a high of 18,261.98 on July 2007.

Facebook Inc. fetched in the technology industry's biggest IPO two years ago.
The lofty expectations riding on Alibaba's IPO may have been slightly lowered by Monday's Securities and Exchange Commission filing, which included the company's results for the first three months of the year.
The numbers revealed that Alibaba's first-quarter revenue rose 39 percent from last year to roughly $1.9 billion, based on the current exchange rates for the yuan.
Although that represents robust growth for most companies, it's a significant deceleration for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and a network of websites that includes Taobao and Tmall. For instance, the company's revenue surged by 62 percent during the final three months of last year. The first-quarter growth also marked the first time that Alibaba has posted a quarterly revenue increase belowearned a combined $3.2 billion on revenue of nearly $95 billion during the same period.
Besides detailing its latest financial results, Alibaba also disclosed that the company's strategy will be controlled by a partnership consisting of 27 members, including 22 people from its management team. The partnership includes Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, now the company's executive chairman, and CEO Jonathan Zhaoxi.
Alibaba also revealed that Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang will be re-joining its board after a two-year absence. Yang joined Alibaba's board in 2005 after negotiating Yahoo's $1 billion investment in the company. He stepped down in 2012 when he quit Yahoo, too.
Yahoo's representative on Alibaba's board, Jacqueline Reses, will resign once the IPO is completed.

works of art, such as when cardinals acquired antique statues of pagan gods or when representations of Aztec gods in feathers and gold appeared in the collections of popes and princes?- The confessional, social, and political upheavals in early-modern Europe were transnational phenomena and led to the dispersal and recontextualization of religious art. How was the religious meaning of individual works transformed over the course of these broader historical movements?- With the advent of tourism to Italy, art lovers joined religious pilgrims in visiting Italian churches. Did this phenomenon transform a church into the imaginary of a collection? Conversely, did a sense of sacrality somehow transfer to public museums as the new temples for devotion to art?

an appraisal because she believed Vondra's offer to be reasonable and because she wished to avoid the administrative costs of an appraisal. She served Paula with a copy of the motion and affidavit. Paula did not oppose the motion for approval of the stock sale. The superior court approved the sale on September 22, 1990, and the sale closed in November, 1990.
Subsequently, Paula visited the Brown's Hill Quarry in September, 1991, and observed an operation far more active than she anticipated. She later testified, however, that she did not know the boundaries of the Carroll-Vondra corporation's property when she visited the quarry. On March 5, 1992, Paula moved the superior court to set aside the stock sale.
B. Transfer of the Partnership Interest
Vondra decided to exercise his right tomoved the superior court to order a distribution and inspection of estate records. She filed an affidavit in which she stated that she desired to appraise the partnership assets, but would be unable to do so without a partial distribution. Donna did not oppose inspection of the estate's records, making it unnecessary for the court to rule on that portion of the motion.
Donna did, however, oppose the motion for distribution. She argued that the superior court might moot the question by departing from the probate master's recommendation. Additionally, she argued that the request for $45,000 was excessive, and supported by no evidence in the record. Finally, she contended that Paula's assertions of impecuniousness were exaggerated. She recited a litany of disbursements she had made to Paula, including half

Royals Advance to ALCS
The Kansas City Royals did the unthinkable and finished off a 3 game sweep in the ALDS against the Angels, who entered the game having had the best record in baseball during the regular season.
Timely hitting, base running, pitching, and awe inspiring defense trumped the offensive juggernaut that the Angels had with a lineup consisting of players like Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. The Royals pitchers found a way to silence the bats of the Angels who led the league in runs scored and offensive WAR for the season, having held them to 6 runs total for the 3 games combined.
The Royals even found a way to conjure up some of the lost power that has been missing throughout the season, rendering themlast place in baseball in that department. Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer both put on a display in the ALDS with both going the distance in game 3.
It would have been easy for the Royals to just fade off into the night after their thrilling Wild Card win against the A's. That game alone was enough to make the fans proud, and the simple fact they had made the ALDS in the first place was enough to solidify the fact they were in the playoffs. They were facing the best team in baseball, with the best home record in baseball. There would have been no shame in a let down or losing to the Angels.
There was a let down, but it was on the other side. After losing

2 extra inning ball games in Los Angels, the Angels came in seeming deflated and defeated. The offense never able to heat up for the entirety of the series, it almost wouldn't have even mattered for this game in which the Royals responded to a Mike Trout solo home run with a bases clearing double in their half of the frame. They took a 3-1 lead, and never looked back, answering Angels runs with their own until there wasn't enough time or hope left. According to STATS, it is only the second time the team with the best regular season record has been swept out of the playoffs.
This Royals team is a good team. They may have failed to win 90 games, but a strong stretch in Augustwas a precursor to showing what this team is capable of doing when they decide to play with their heads screwed on straight.
Next up is the Baltimore Orioles, who also find themselves on the easy road to the ALCS after having dispatched the Tigers in 3 straight games. Play for both teams will continue on Friday in Baltimore. Once again the Royals will find themselves underdogs, and will look to pick up a game on the road to bring a home field advantage back to the K.
The Royals are similar to the Orioles in that both teams struggle to get on base, but Baltimore has scored more runs because of some slug in their lineup. Both teams rely on pitching and defense with Baltimore finishing a tic better

Another question is how to get people to and from the park. The Rays have made it clear they would like as many mass transit options as possible. Suburban SunTrust Park offers little, and serious congestion was predicted there. But massive traffic jams havenít materialized and parking spaces have proven adequate, in part through some technological tweaks.
Finally, thereís the question of how much of the negotiations plays out in public.
The Rays won approval from St. Petersburg to look across the bay for a new stadium site back in January 2016. Then they announced the Ybor City site in February, and in July, revealed a design featuring see-through sliding glass walls, a fixed translucent roof and architectural features consistent with historic Ybor City. The biggest questionof all, how to pay for the project, seems to be the only one remaining ó and no one is predicting when this answer will come.
In Atlanta, on the other hand, the news came nearly all at once: Less than two weeks elapsed between the Bravesí announcement of their intentions to move to the suburbs and a Cobb County commission vote to approve a financing package.
By many measures, the Bravesí model is proving to be a success.
Attendance is way up, game-day crowds show up earlier and stay later, and the team ó after four dismal seasons ó is likely headed to the playoffs.
At the same time, a prominent politician who pushed for the stadium lost his job, and hard feelings persist both in Atlanta ó home to the

the weak in the strongest of terms. Orphans and the vulnerable, the poor and the weak find a strong voice in its verses.
Islam arrived in Arabia at a time when it was deeply afflicted by a social malaise created by changes engendered by the transformation from a nomadic to a mercantile economy. The new economic conditions bred new values, and caused divisions in society which had been glued together by tribal solidarity and kinship.
The accumulation of wealth and power became the new credo in life, and greed replaced kinship and solidarity as the governing principle of society. The new conditions led to the exploitation of the weaker sections of the society, including widows and orphans.
Even before he attained prophethood, Mohammad displayed a passion for justice and a commitmentto fight for the under privileged. He was in his twenties when he joined a league of Meccans who had entered into a pact known as Hilf al-fudul for the suppression of violence and injustice. They took an oath allegiance to go to the aid of the oppressed and seek restitution for the victims of injustice.
Social and economic justice formed an important component of his message. Social and economic justice is to be achieved by the distribution of wealth by those who have to those who are in need. To achieve this, zakat is made obligatory to all Muslims, requiring them to give away annually a portion of their wealth. Property and wealth are given as trust to man and accumulation of wealth for private use only is

Seven years later, the boy, Billy Chambers, would help kill Seattle's beloved Tuba Man, Ed McMichael, 53, known for his funky hats and for playing tunes on the sidewalk in front of local sporting and arts events.
McMichael grew up in Wallingford, supported by loving parents and a vibrant church youth group. His mother pushed him to play music, and at a young age, the shy boy turned inward, befriending the piano, then the tuba, the instrument that would one day earn him national acclaim.
Chambers was raised by his grandmother, Margaret Harris, a receptionist with DKNY glasses and a hearty laugh. His dad was perpetually in trouble with the law, and his mother left sometime around his fourth birthday.
The fates ofMcMichael and Chambers tangled near Fifth Avenue and Mercer Street around midnight on Oct. 25, 2008, when Chambers, 15 at the time, and four other teens robbed and attacked McMichael as he crossed the street toward the group. The teens, who had just left a dance at Seattle Center, circled him and rained down a series of blows and kicks, robbing him as he tried to shield himself, even slipping a ring off his finger. Initially, he survived the attack. But on November 3 he died.
What followed was an outpouring of public outrage: both at the killing of a gentle, vulnerable man, swarmed upon and beaten as he lay in a fetal position on the ground, and the minimal 18-month sentence given to Chambers, who's been in and

Buildings can create great obstacles in urban environments, sometimes seemingly more impenetrable than natural topography. In many ways, it sounds like the social associations of the Sant'Elia infrastructure have caused a great divide between the two parts of Cagliari, Italy.
The deCanyon project is Gijo Paul George's solution to uniting the two precincts, comprising a proposal to re-sculpt the waterfront and construct architectural links across the metropolitan gorge. The abstract shapes could house a variety of public and private programs, improving outdoor and indoor environments and blurring the boundaries between the alleged badlands and the core of the city.

The College at Brockport is continuing to collaborate with several nationally recognized law enforcement and security agencies in order to relay tools for emergency preparedness in the college setting and beyond.
The latest effort to do so came in the form of a session of Citizen Preparedness Training, taking place on Monday, March 5, according to the Daily Eagle. This session was organized by Emergency Manager Frederick Rion, who ensured that representatives from the New York State National Guard would be present for discussion and lecture surrounding concepts which aid in the event of natural and man-made emergencies.
This was the second such session, the first of which occurred in September 2017.

High6 those pupils residing in the Shepard attendance area who had been enrolled in Whitted for the 1963-64 school year. The formerly all-white Durham High School, with a normal capacity of approximately 1,775, had an excess enrollment of approximately 26 and out of the total enrollment, only about 22 were Negroes. The Board proposed in its submitted plan that graduates of predominantly white Brogden, Carr, and Holton Junior High Schools should be assigned to Durham High School. The all-Negro Hillside High School had an enrollment of approximately 47 in excess of its normal capacity of 1,350. The plan provided that graduates of the predominantly Negro Whitted and Shepard Junior High Schools would be assigned to Hillside High. By this system Negro pupils in Negro junior high schools wouldapproximately 7,000 Negroes. During the 1963-64 school year, there were 19 elementary schools of which eight were all-Negro, two were all-white, and nine were predominantly white. There were four junior high schools, three of which were predominantly white, with comparatively few Negro pupils, and one was the all-Negro Whitted School hereinbefore mentioned. What further progress toward integration may have occurred as a result of the court's order of August 3, 1964, and the use of the transfer privilege is not disclosed by the record.

In its order of August 3, 1964, the court continued in effect an injunction which had issued on January 2, 1963, against the Board's discriminatory practices.7 In the face of this restraining order, the Board had formulated and submitted its plan to continue initial and

subsequent assignments of pupils and the feeder system which had been used in the past to produce and foster the continuation of the proscribed segregation and racial discrimination in the public schools. Possibly the Board reasoned that, by incorporating the proposed right of transfer provisions into the plan, it could escape or sidestep the restraints imposed by the January 1963 order. The District Court found that the proposed school zone boundaries had, in part, been gerrymandered and were based upon racial considerations. The continuation of initial assignments, the pattern of assignments into junior high schools, and the feeder system into the high schools would clearly be in violation of the court's order.

The time for commencement of the 1964-65 term was fast approaching when the court entered its orderthe record, we think he was fully aware of the possibility that a school construction program might be so directed as to perpetuate segregation. At the same time, he was reluctant to enter an order determining the location and size of new school facilities or what existing facilities should be enlarged. He clearly indicated his cognizance of the multitude of factors involved, such as the availability and cost of sites, the concentration of population, the present overcrowded conditions, etc. However, he was not unmindful of the responsibility of the Board in this area and he made known his conclusion that the burden would be on the Board to reasonably justify its actions and to demonstrate its good faith.

About Manley Beasley Sr.
A man of Bible believing Faith
Standing Firm In The FaithOver the ages there are men that continue to stand true to both the message and the methods of God. One such man was Manley Beasley. In 1970 Manley was stricken with diseases that the doctors stated were terminal. He went from 210 Ibs to a meager 140 in a few short months. Practically every muscle in his body collapsed. Just before this occurred the Lord had begun to teach Manley how to live by faith
He recieved a Word from God
The Lord gave Manley a verse in Psalm 128:6 that he would live to see his children's children.
The Walk Of FaithThe walk of faith began in earnest. For the next year his condition grew worse andhe spent it in the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. His mission field for that year was the hospital. Believing that what God had promised He was able to perform, Manley continued to give the glory to God and ministered to people that the Lord sent in his path through the hospital. He knew when God was finished with him in the hospital that the Lord would raise him up and allow him to continue to minister. That year confined in the hospital God provided for the Beasley family and ministry as if he· were still traveling and preaching. For the next 20 years God continued to allow Manley to minister to people and share what he has learned about the walk of Faith.
He lived what he preached!

GUY RAZ, HOST:
From NPR News, it's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Guy Raz.
Today, the leaders of France, Germany and Italy sat down to talk about the European economic crisis. At the table was Italy's new prime minister, Mario Monti. Monti's government is struggling to convince the financial markets that Italy has a plan to pay its debts. Among other things, Monti has pledged to crack down on a time-honored tradition in Italy: tax evasion.
NPR's Jim Zarroli explains.
JIM ZARROLI, BYLINE: Tax evasion, it's often said, is a national sport in Italy. CarloIn a conventional simple bathing bag, it is necessary to insert and mount the end of the hose from the open portion of the bathing bag or the lower portion of the bathing bag. Because of this, the connection of the hose was troublesome and these was also the possibility that the operation could not be carried out well. Further, there was also another problem in which water would leak out from the end of the hose or the connection portion of the bathing bag when connecting and mounting a hose to the bathing bag.
Moreover, the conventional simple bathing bag disclosed in unexamined utility model application publication HEI 6-61239 naturally discharges water from the lower portion of the bathing bag after bathing is complete. Therefore, there was a

even in rapidly gentrifying neighbourhoods.
How this plays out in England and Scotland
In England and Scotland, the supply of affordable housing is negotiated through the planning process. The general expectation is that 20 to 40% of new housing developments will be affordable. But proportions of affordable housing are allowed to vary on a case by case basis in light of the housing market and the costs of undertaking the development.
The main methods for this in England are section 106 agreements. These agreements, which come under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, specify the amount and type of affordable housing to be provided as part of a development.
Section 106 agreements have steadily gained traction since the 1990s. Between 2005–16, 83,790 affordable dwellings were secured through these agreements in England.choices or so they sell are spot on.

focus of which must reach the bottom of the box. Make an aperture of
about six inches in length, and one in breadth, through one side of
the box at the top, by shaving off, or hollowing the edge in such
manner that when you put your face to the aperture to look into the
box, it will exclude all the light except what falls through the lens.
Make a hole through each end of the box, near the bottom, large enough
to put in the hands, with paper and pencil. On the top of the box, on
the right and left sides of the lens, fix two pieces of boards, which
may be about four inches high, eight inches long, and three inches

handle to the point, or nearly so, but the point must be ground off
obliquely so that the edge may extend a little farther than the back;
and the edge should rise a little rounding towards the point. It is
very essential that the edge and point of the graver should be kept

and had a contractor level the mound. We uncovered a ton of boulders under it and viola! I had an instant boulder garden. I love the look of the boulders and I'm developing a garden with them. In the wooded area in my front yard which borders a busy highway, I removed all the grass and spread wildflower seeds. I added birdhouses , baths and feeders. The wildflowers grew very well and I added butterfly weed, lantana, asters, mums, sage and grasses which attracted many butterflies, bees and birds. I planted lots of ferns, hollies, mahonia, violas, daffodils, crape myrtle, hellebores ,osmanthus and climbing hydrangeas in the wooded area fronting our house. On the side of the house near the large picture window I planted a Korean maplefeeders and birdhouses. It's wonderful to be awakened by the sound of birds singing in the morning and to watch them as they enjoy the suet, birdseed and water put out for them.November also marks my third year in North Carolina and my granddaughter Lea's sixth birthday. She chose a farm venue to celebrate. She's a natural on a horse ! As my one and only I think that God smiled down on me and embodied everything -beauty, brains and sweetness into one little girl who is our constant joy and pleasure.

It forecasts the triumph of popular government, of civic as well as spiritual freedom as well as of national sanctity throughout the world.
Why is the American Flag essential to American culture?
The American flag is essential because it represents the independent federal government as described under the United States Constitution. Include in that, it also represents the background, beliefs and also values of its citizens. As a democratic nation, its people abide by critical values such as freedom, justice and equal rights. Additionally, the flag likewise represents the numerous achievements of the nation along with the satisfaction of its individuals.
This nationwidenot the flag of a ruling household or royal house, however of the many free individuals bonded into a country, one as well as inseparable, joined not just by community of passion, yet by vital unity of view and also function; a nation differentiated for the clear specific perception of its people alike of their duties as well as their privileges, their commitments as well as their civil liberties.
Have a little pride, cough up a couple of even more money, and also acquire an American flag made by Americans in the USA

But as his ballot number turned out to be 630, he did not get a raffle ticket. He walked away disappointed and said he was heading home.
He had been hoping to get his hands on some shirts and bags from the collaboration, which was unveiled during Men's Fashion Week in Paris in January.
The collaboration includes items such as leather backpacks, denim jackets and iPhone cases, most of which will be branded in Supreme's signature red hue or Louis Vuitton's monogram print.
Louis Vuitton declined to reveal prices of the items in the collaboration.

to against MC's long reign. I heard there are fans making the trek to haewoondae beach, and I will do my best to show good play that will not disappoint them. Our head coach got a lot of grief because of the GSTL, but it's not like it's like he deserves all the blame, the players told him they wanted to be deployed. We lost because he misplaced his faith in them. So blame the players instead. Though he looks like he's cold and calculating on the outside, he's a very kind man on the inside. When players confidently say they want to play, he lets them play.
MC: I've reached the finals for the first time in a long time, but each time I reach the finals it'slately.Head Coach Kang: Sometimes he seems like he never thinks, and at others he seems to have deep thoughts. Overall, he seems to be feeling positive. He's keeping the team atmosphere up. He gets along well with the younger players as well. Sometimes he talks nonsense, but he's fun. I think he has a knack for comedy.MC: I didn't have any big worries. I was always good, so I didn't think it would be a big deal to go it alone. When I was with oGs, I was very generous to my teammates, because I remember the pain of being a practice partner for a Brood War team. As much as I was generous, I think I was repaid in practice.

such conventions, game developers generally have limited freedom to change fundamental aspects of game play that game players consider to be important. Even despite such constraints, however, there is room for substantial creativity in developing new sports games. In the past, sports video game developers often concentrated on making their game play as realistic as possible. Realistically modeling athletes in 3D animation enhances the game play experience. Another fertile area for innovation relates to special features that enhance the user's game play experience. For example, much work has been done in the past regarding scoring and statistics. User control features such as camera angle, instant replay and the like permit some sports video games to mimic televised sports. Other sports video games supply creative enhancements such as differentkinds of virtual player vision, detailed control over player actions and reflexes, and the like. Such features allow the video game player sitting in his or her living room, den or college dorm to become a star pitcher or quarterback and win the game for his or her team. Competitive game play through direct or networked interaction allows video game players to test their skills and strategy against opponents.
Despite the vast amount of prior work and effort that has gone into developing ever more interesting and exciting sports video game play experiences, further improvements are desirable. Just as we never tire of the next baseball, football or soccer season, the video game playing community looks forward to release of yet another generation of sports video games. There is

years, and geothermal for about a century. For the past few decades several approaches to solar energy transformation to electricity have been used. In recent years great efforts have been made by scientists and engineers around the world to lower the technical and economic barriers to broaden use of winds, ocean waves, tides, solar radiation and the internal heat of the earth as alternative sources for renewable energy. However, there is a need for further improvements. The invention relates to a novel way of tapping the earth's internal heat energy to generate electricity while also providing potable water from the sea.
Humanity Urgently Needs Fresh Water and Electrical Energy.
There is a severe shortage of drinking water in many regions of the world and this situation will grow worse asits growing population. Something similar occurs in parts of the United States and other countries.
Some areas of the world are very dry due to low average annual rainfall, while other regions are very humid. Some areas that used to be fertile with abundant flora and fauna are now deserts. Rainfall, essential for life, is part of a larger phenomenon involving sea, air and the surface of the planet. This system is called the hydrologic cycle.
The sun's rays heat the sea surface and evaporate water. The water vapor moving by the action of the winds, change its temperature and pressure. Air masses ascend and cool forming droplets which fall as rain. Part of the water that falls evaporates; some infiltrates and some run off to the rivers that take

it to the sea to continue the hydrologic cycle.
The hydrologic cycle involves complex physical phenomena where the atmospheric pressure and temperature, in addition to the global topography, are key variables. The sea temperature is also important and of lower relative importance is the surface temperature of the earth.
Temperature of the seawater varies from approximately 4° C. at the very deep ocean floor or polar seas, to 36° C. in some special areas of tropical seas. The seawater temperature depends largely on the broad range of factors from the atmosphere temperature and of the global ocean currents.
Energy supply is necessity for welfare of humankind. At the present time most energy consumed in the world comes from burning hydrocarbons. There is a growing participation of renewable energies, such as solarwater on the earth.
The total amount of water on the planet and the annual consumption level for the human population show that the problem is not in the quantity of water but in its distribution in relation to the concentration of the population.
There are regions with abundant fresh water and others with chronic shortages that are increasing with time. There are regions with scarce fresh water but rapidly growing populations. Great efforts have been made in many coastal zones of the world to desalinize seawater as a solution to the shortages.
The salinity of water varies among different seas and even in the same sea. The salinity depends on local conditions such as temperature and water currents.

this scouting trip took place during my stay.
What is a longhouse
A longhouse is exactly that. It is a long house that is the traditional mode of living in the jungle for the indigenous people in Borneo and many other parts of the world. They are usually raised off the ground on stilts and have a long public area on one side and then individual dwellings on the other side. Basically it is a long porch attached to a long house with a long backyard.
We pulled into the dwelling and climbed the stairs to the porch. Immediately people gravitated toward us. It was me and two guides from Planet Borneo. Shy but curious kids walked behind us and adults smiled and waved from chairs, windows, and even from carsreally laid back and friendly.
A couple of mats were laid out, and we sat around and talked. The purpose of the visit was business. Planet Borneo was reaching out to this village to see if they could bring tourist here, so they were interested in a partnership.
Unfortunately, it turned out the village chief had recently passed away. In his absence, there were a couple of elders were handling village affairs until a new leader could be appointed.
Pass the rice whiskey please
The best way to conduct business is with food and rice whiskey. I was the beneficiary of this welcoming as the longhouse community brought out fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, other types of snacks, and shot after shot of rice whiskey.

Cities and Sovereignty: Identity Politics in Urban Spaces - used book
Cities have long been associated with diversity and tolerance, but from Jerusalem to Belfast to the Basque Country, many of the most intractable conflicts of the past century have played out in urban spaces. The contributors to this interdisciplinary volume examine the interrelationships of ethnic, racial, religious, or other identity conflicts and larger battles over sovereignty and governance. Under what conditions do identity conflicts undermine the legitimacy and power of nation-states, Cities have long been associated with diversity and tolerance, but from Jerusalem to Belfast to the Basque Country, many of the most intractable conflicts of the past century have played out in urban spaces. The contributors to this interdisciplinary volume examine the interrelationships of ethnic, racial, religious,Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein travels across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, the United States, Britain, Greece, and Australia to witness the reality of disaster capitalism. He discovers how companies such as G4S, Serco, and Halliburton cash in on organized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining.
Disaster has become big business. Talking to immigrants stuck in limbo in Britain or visiting immigration centers in America, Loewenstein maps the secret networks formed to help corporations bleed what profits they can from economic crisis. He debates with Western contractors in Afghanistan, meets the locals in post-earthquake Haiti, and in Greece finds a country at the mercy of vulture profiteers. In Papua New Guinea, he sees a local community forced to

essays by Omar Barghouti, Jonathan Cook, Joseph Dana, Jeremiah Haber, Jeff Halper, Ghada Karmi, Antony Loewenstein, Saree Makdisi, John Mearsheimer, Ahmed Moor, Ilan Pappe, Sara Roy and Phil Weiss.
The 2008 financial crisis opened the door for a bold, progressive social movement. But despite widespread revulsion at economic inequity and political opportunism, after the crash very little has changed.
Has the Left failed? What agenda should progressives pursue? And what alternatives do they dare to imagine?
Left Turn, published by Melbourne University Press in 2012 and co-edited with Jeff Sparrow, is aimed at the many Australians disillusioned with the political process. It includes passionate and challenging contributions by a diverse range of writers, thinkers and politicians, from Larissa Berendht and Christos Tsiolkas to Guy Rundle and Lee Rhiannon. These essays offerperspectives largely excluded from the mainstream. They offer possibilities for resistance and for a renewed struggle for change.
The Blogging Revolution, released by Melbourne University Press in 2008, is a colourful and revelatory account of bloggers around the globe why live and write under repressive regimes - many of them risking their lives in doing so.
Antony Loewenstein's travels take him to private parties in Iran and Egypt, internet cafes in Saudi Arabia and Damascus, to the homes of Cuban dissidents and into newspaper offices in Beijing, where he discovers the ways in which the internet is threatening the ruld of governments.
Through first-hand investigations, he reveals the complicity of Western multinationals in assisting the restriction of information in these countries and how bloggers are leading the charge for change.

vial in the room where Bell's body lay. They fed the liquid inside to the cat, and it immediately died. Then the witch's voice took credit for Bell's death. The witch reportedly laughed and sang constantly during Bell's burial on the farm. A year later, the voice warned Bell's widow Lucy that she would return for more haunting in seven years. Seven years later, in 1828, the manifestation made her last reported appearance, in a discussion with John Bell, Jr. in which the voice predicted the Civil War.
The tales of the Bell Witch haunting were passed down from source to source before being written in an 1894 book, so details vary. It is very likely that the family stories were exaggerated with each retelling. There is some speculationthat the manifestations may have been a ruse to break up the relationship between Betsy Bell and her fiancé Joshua Gardner. The witch was strongly opposed to the marriage, and Betsy ended the relationship in 1821 out of fright. In 1824, she married her schoolteacher Richard Powell. Powell had known the family a long time, and some think he may have caused the initial manifestations. Powell began teaching in the area in 1815, and soon developed a liking for Betsy. He became friends with Betsy's parents and was a frequent visitor to the Bell home. It wasn't long after that the mysterious noises began. Powell's first wife died in 1821, the same year Betsy ended her engagement to Gardner.

she was pretty, and she was human in the purest form. Kaia grew up in a time where tolerance for the others became more prevalent; and a time where her parents grew more elitist and prejudice, along with the people they associated with. As part of the shrinking population that could consider themselves completely pure blood, she was praised by the radical group her family was allied with; people who wanted to keep the line between Humans and Dushkari as distinct as possible. She, along with the other kids her age, were expected to act in a way that was mightier than everyone else. That including humans tolerant of the Dushkari, those that were mixed-blood, and of course the Dushkari themselves.
That ideology was instilled into Kaia as earlyas she could walk. If they had markings, she had to stay away. It was almost how most kids were taught to avoid strangers, she was taught how to stray from those different than her. Toddler Kaia was never allowed free reign and at four years old, always protecting that image projected onto her by her parents.

Through his own quest, Tovar Cerulli bridges disparate worldviews and questions ethical certainties, difficult either the habit of many hunters and the semblance of blamelessness maintained by means of many vegetarians. during this time of intensifying trouble over ecological degradation, how will we make peace with the truth that, even in starting to be natural greens, lifestyles is continued by means of loss of life? Drawing onthe 1st hominids who hunted woolly mammoths to modern-day manufacturing facility farms and bio-engineering labs, The Longest fight: Animal Advocacy from Pythagoras to PETA tells the tale of animal exploitation and the conflict for animal justice. After describing the roots of animal rights within the old global, writer Norm Phelps follows the advance of animal security during the Enlightenment, the anti-vivisection battles of the Victorian period, and the start of the trendy animal rights circulate with the e-book of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation.
In a brisk, readable narrative, The Longest Struggle strains the campaigns of animal rights pioneers like Henry Spira, Alex Hershaft, and Ingrid Newkirk, in addition to leaders who've come extra lately at the scene like Heidi Prescott, Karen Davis, and Bruce Friedrich.

Ethnic militias have killed over 200 civilians and burned dozens of villages in communal violence in central Mali during 2018, Human Rights Watch said in a report released Friday. Most victims have been ethnic Peuhl villagers targeted by Dogon and Bambara self-defense groups for their alleged support of Islamist armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda.
The 108-page report, We Used to Be Brothers: Self-Defense Group Abuses in Central Mali, documents communal attacks by armed groups against 42 villages and hamlets in Mopti region, particularly near the Burkina Faso border, and the town of Djenne, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The violence has led to widespread displacement, hunger, and looting of livestock, affecting civilians from various communities. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita should ensure that Malis security forces impartially protect all civiliansat risk from attacks by militias and Islamist armed groups. Judicial authorities should investigate and prosecute groups responsible for abuses.
Abusive militias in central Mali are committing murder and mayhem and leaving scores of dead in their wake, Corinne Dufka, Sahel director at Human Rights Watch and author of the report said Friday. The pace and brutality of the violence is alarming, as is the governments failure to investigate and bring those responsible to justice.
The report is based on research trips to central Mali in February, May and July and phone interviews throughout 2018. Human Rights Watch interviewed 148 victims and witnesses, as well as leaders from the ethnic Peuhl, Dogon, and Bambara communities, and local government, security and justice officials, among others.
Since 2015, Islamist armed groups have progressively

increased their presence in central Mali, executing scores of civilians and government officials and committing other abuses. Their presence, and recruitment of pastoralist Peuhl residents, has inflamed tensions with the Bambara and Dogon communities, and led to the formation of ethnic self-defense groups.
The self-defense groups say they took security into their own hands because the government had failed to adequately protect their villages and property. Easy access to firearms, including military assault weapons, has contributed to the groups growth and militarization.
Witnesses described the killing of 156 Peuhl civilians by alleged Bambara and Dogon self-defense groups. These included 10 massacres in each of which up to 23 villagers were killed on the same day, most recently in late November. About 50 Peuhl villagers, including children, who were either detainedby the militias or fled the attacks, remain missing. The worst militia atrocities have been sparked by the killing of a respected member of the Dogon or Bambara communities. In response, the militias engaged in retaliatory killings, often targeting an entire Peuhl hamlet.
A witness described one attack by Bambara militiamen, or Dozos: I was in my house and started hearing motorcyclesthen gunfire and the sound of women screaming. I hid with my family but could see from a window that the Dozos had come. I saw them entering houses, one by one, and then shooting people as they ran away, and later stealing I heard one of them saying in Bambara, Kill all the Peuhldont let anyone escape.
Witnesses said that Dozos dragged 11 men from the mosque in

Dankoussa in early September and then executed them. Others described how militiamen killed 17 men in July and threw their bodies into the village well. An attack on the village of Komboko in September by Dogon militiamen killed 14 villagers, including elderly women and children who were burned in their homes.
Witnesses also said that Islamist armed groups, allegedly supported at times by Peuhl self-defense groups, killed 46 Dogon villagers. Witnesses described the killings of a Muslim teacher, and of villagers, including children, foraging for wood or bringing food aid; or burned alive when their villages came under attack. At least 10 Dogon villagers died in 2018 from improvised explosive devices that armed Islamists appear to have planted.
The Malian government has inadequately followed through with their March commitment tomeasures included establishing 16 new security posts in vulnerable areas, confiscating over 360 weapons, and opening investigations into the violence. Officials said their ability to protect civilians was hampered by competing security priorities and a lack of resources.
The government, Human Rights Watch says, should more vigorously prosecute the killings, step up security force patrols to protect vulnerable populations, set up a hotline to report imminent attacks, and ensure that security forces respond to the violence quickly and impartially.
The worsening violence in central Mali thrusts members of all ethnic groups into the dangerous cycle of violence and impunity, Dufka said. The Malian government and its allies need to confront this insecurity head-on before more blood is shed.

The Obama administration is revamping its effort to counter the Islamic State's propaganda machine, acknowledging that the terrorist group has been far more effective in attracting new recruits, financing and global notoriety than the United States and its allies have been in discrediting it.
At the heart of the plan is revamping and expanding a tiny State Department agency, the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, to harness all the existing attempts at countermessaging by much larger federal departments, including the Pentagon, Homeland Security and intelligence agencies.
The center would also coordinate and amplify similar messaging by foreign allies and nongovernment agencies, as well as prominent Muslim academics, community leaders and religious scholars who oppose the Islamic State, also

Cognitive ability
Researchers analysed almost 10,000 people recruited from the general population of Scotland.
Individuals were tested for general cognitive ability and had their DNA analysed.
The team found that among people who never develop autism, carrying genetic traits associated with the disorder is, on average, linked to scoring slightly better on cognitive tests.
Intellectual advantage
Researchers found further evidence of a link between autism-associated genes and intelligence when they carried out the same tests on 921 adolescents who were part of the Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study.
This study suggests genes for autism may actually confer, on average, a small intellectual advantage in those who carry them, provided they are not affected by autism. Professor Nick Martin Queensland Institute for Medical Research

The victim has alleged that on June 4, 2017, she was raped by BJP MLA Sengar at his residence, when she had gone to meet him, along with a relative, seeking a job.
In February, the girl's family had moved the court, seeking to include the MLA's name in the case. Subsequently, the victim's father was booked by the police under the Arms Act on April 3 and put in jail on April 5.
Frustrated with the alleged police inaction and coercion from influential people, the victim attempted self-immolation in front of Chief Minister Adityanath's residence on April 8.
The next day, her father died in jail with the post-mortem examination report suggesting serious injuries on his body.
Sengar, a four-time MLA, enjoys animmense clout, cutting across party lines, in rural areas of Unnao district, a semi-urban area about 70 km from Lucknow.
A video, purportedly showing the victim's father before his death, has gone viral. Several television news channels have also aired it.
In the video, the victim's father alleged he was mercilessly beaten up, including with rifle butts, by the MLA's brother and others in presence of police personnel.
Meanwhile, the CBI also arrested Shashi Singh, the woman who allegedly took the victim to BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar on the day of crime.

Despite every quality that it brings before the bell ring, there is a major problem once the bell does. The matches are one sided and uneventful. Fight fans have known this for a while, but it seems that now, the shift of the fighting public is moving towards not watching the product at all.
It started so well. August 29, 2010 the Isuzu Thai Fight Extreme had a 16-man tournament. It had solid international competition. The likes of Spain's Rafi Zouheir, England's Liam Harrison, Thailand's Petchmonkong Petchfocus, runner up Youssef Boughanem, and eventual champion Frenchmen Fabio Pinca. The

tournament was like nothing we were use to from Thai shows. Pyro, rock music during entrances, large screens, and sporting event fan material like big hands, clappers, and streamers. It was as if K-1 Max was being reborn in Thailand. Adding to that was the fight product, which produced awesome KOs, smooth technique, and competitive match ups. Nasser Kacem product and champion Fabio Pinca was made an international star after that victory. Sure he had wins over Thai fighters Sigmanee, Sudsukorn, and Bovy before the Thai Fight championship, but all eyes were on the tournament and thus all eyes were on him. His peformance against Youssef in the final was brilliant, producing one of the most proficient body attacks in the first round and then dropping Boughanem witha hook in the second. A star was made.
Thai Fight then moved into a strange season of what could only be compared to the Harlem Globetrotters. They began to tour the world with a cast of popular internationally known Thai Fighters and the tournament winner Fabio Pinca. looking to best international kickboxers in they're backyard. To name a few, this group consisted of Fight Code's Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee, The Contender Asia champion Yodsenklai Fairtex, and what can only be described as the crowning jewel, K-1 Max superstar kickboxer Buakaw, who jumped the sinking ship of K-1 Max early. With the exception of an elbow cut loss to Pinca, which he avenged later in the year, and a Yodsenklai upset, it was a series of dominate performances by the

Thai Fight team.
The performances led to another tournament field, this time doing both a 67kg field and a 70kg. They were solid fields. 67kg saw the likes of returning champion Fabio Pinca, Dutch-Morrocan fighter Mosab Amrani, Frenchmen Houcine Bennoui, and Thailand's Khem Sitsongpeenong, ex 130lbs Lumpinee Champion and King's Cup tournament winner. The 70kg field brought rising star Abraham Roqueni from Spain, Australia's Frank Giorgi, and Frenchmen Mickael Piscitello where in a field with the mighty Buakaw. We got upsets, competitive match ups, and memorable stoppages. Plus, to Thai Fight's delight, the guys they wanted to win did, crowning Khem and Buakaw their 2011 Champions.
Then came the year that changed it all. In 2012, for whatever reason, they figured they would lessen the talent of the competition andthe walls gave the impression that nature herself was in anguish along with the occupants of the castle. Three days the storm had lasted, three days and nights of lightning flashing and the rolling sound of thunder like war bands of knights locked in eternal combat. Three turns of a planet around its sun as the occupants of Castle Northridge waited.
All the servants moved about the keep quietly, speaking only in hushed whispers, as if the soon-to-be widow in the high chamber would be disturbed. The chamberlain had issued no orders for this subdued attendance. It was simply being done, as if by common consent. Each person, letting his or her thoughts move quite naturally to the events transpiring in the high chamber while they completed their tasks,

his neck, his hands coming up to grasp his neck as his life's blood spurted in all directions. Turning quickly to his right, he watched Sir Aymer receive a quarrel in the right leg and Aymer's horse take three more in the chest and neck. Before Aymer could jump free his palfrey fell on his right side painfully trapping his rider under his dead weight.
Looking forward, Robert realized that his vanguard was all down, two writhing on the ground and the third lying still. Facing to the rear he watched as the rear-guard tried to move forward to assist only to be struck from behind by twelve armored riders coming upon them. With couched lances, these attackers were evidently trained and experienced warriors which made the work offelt the searing pain of a quarrel, entering him from his left chest and felt his horse's dying scream as she must have been struck simultaneously.
At the last moment, Robert was able to extricate himself from the saddle and jump clear of his now dead horse. A scream was wrenched from his throat as his feet jarred into the ground, but true to his training, he remained upright awaiting the charge of his opponent. As his enemy's sword descended, Robert crouched low, using his knees and most of the swing missed cleanly, the tip of the sword, however, cleaved through the soft leather of his hat and only the hidden plate saved Robert's life. The blow, however; stunned him and drove him to his knees, an easy target
