The blob, after the construction was still busy. Within his lab, droplets of blood were placed in petri dishes and Arakutype himself took a while to place them into the pods. The pods where the clones would be held. Arakutype monitored each and every one of the clones and marked each individual. Gamer01's clone had more than Code Blasts in his future, Set's abilities would rival Demigods, and Shiera would be able to create anything of of nowhere with her mind alone. Arakutype was pleased with his work. Splicing DNA and recreating them, his specialty. Biology washis forte and everything about it. Insanity just opened new ideas and thoughts. Good or Bad, they will open new doors for the Shadow. Nothing can stop the spread of darkness now.
_________________The Dark bonds bind the bloodline. There is no escape. I must forge a path for the family.
Arakutype returns with a vial of blood in hand. The brute's. He placed it in a pod and began to type in instructions. He soon watched the tank fill up with fluid. Arakutype began to manipulate the DNA on a molecular scale. Soon Azgiel's blood will turn into a full clone. With even more strength and endurance. Alongside the pod were the four other clones, only a quarter of the time done, needs more time.

requesting to be ordained in the United States. In 1836, he arrived in the United States with very little money, and was ordained to the priesthood there. He was assigned by the Bishop of New York to work with recent German immigrants in mission churches in the Niagara Falls area, where he visited the sick, taught catechism, and trained teachers to take over when he left. After four years of service there, he realized his own need for support and came to realize the importance of communal activity in his work. He thus applied to the Redemptorists. He was accepted, and entered the novitiate of the order in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In January, 1842, he took the vows to enter the order in Baltimore, Maryland, and became the firstRedemptorist in the New World. After six years of difficult but fruitful work with the order, he was appointed the order's provincial superior in the United States. Neumann was naturalized as a citizen of the United States in Baltimore on February 10, 1848.
In March 1852, Neumann was consecrated in Baltimore, as Bishop of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the first to organize a Catholic diocesan school system and increased the number of Catholic schools in his diocese from one to two hundred. He also introduced the School Sisters of Notre Dame to the New World to assist in religious instruction and staffing the orphanage. In 1853, he established Saint Peter's Parish in Riverside, New Jersey.
Neumann was not a popular bishop and received criticism. He had to deal with the

Know Nothings, a political group determined to deprive foreigners and Catholics of their civil rights; the group burnt down convents and schools. Discouraged, Neumann unsuccessfully wrote to Rome and asked for someone else to take his place.
Neumann wrote in many Catholic newspaper and magazine articles. He also published two catechisms and a Bible history in German. There were also many teaching orders brought in by him.
In 1860, Neumann died due to a stroke at the age of 48 while walking down a street in Philadelphia. After his death people began to talk of how great he had been.

But surprise! Not only had Athenagoras received Masonic initiation, he was further enrolled in the 33rd degree of the Ancient Scottish and Accepted Masonic rite, just as his predecessor, Meletios Metaxakis, had been. For a long time this reality was not shouted from the rooftops and remained, if not hidden, at least discreet. But my visit to the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Greece removed all my doubts: because there, hanging side by side on the wall, we can find the photographs of Meletios and Athenagoras.

As you know, Ken has talked to Larry Summers about serving on Enron's Board
of Directors. Larry told Ken that in light of his selection to head Harvard,
he wants to hold off going on any corporate boards for now. My understanding
is that Larry will most likely accept Ken's offer at the end of the year.
In the meantime, let me suggest a candidate for Enron's Advisory Committee.
Lee Sachs was Assistant Secretary of Treasury for Financial Markets under Bob

Hubble confirms nearest known extrasolar planet
SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE NEWS RELEASE
Posted: October 9, 2006

young, only 800 million years old. McArthur originally detected the planet in 2000 by measurements that were interpreted as a rhythmic, back-and-forth wobble in Epsilon Eridani caused by the gravitational tug of an unseen planet. Nevertheless, some astronomer wondered if in fact the turbulent motion of the young star's atmosphere was mimicking the effects of the star being nudged by a planet's gravitational pull. The Hubble observations settle any uncertainty. The Benedict-McArthur team calculated the planet's mass and its orbit by making extremely precise measurements of subtle changes in the star's location in the sky, a technique called astrometry. The slight variations are unmistakably caused by the gravitational tug of the unseen companion object. Benedict's team studied over a thousand astrometric observations from Hubble collected over three years.Hawaii, and the European Southern Observatory in Chile. This combination allowed them to accurately determine the planet's mass by deducing the tilt of its orbit. Although Hubble and other telescopes cannot image the gas giant planet now, they may be able to snap pictures of it in 2007, when its orbit is closest to Epsilon Eridani. The planet may be bright enough in reflected starlight to be imaged by Hubble, other space-based cameras, and large ground-based telescopes. The results are being presented today at the 38th Annual Division of Planetary Sciences Meeting in Pasadena, Calif. and will appear in the November issue of the Astronomical Journal. The Hubble Space Telescope is an international cooperative project between NASA and the European Space Agency. The Space Telescope Science Institute is

Castro's limited free-market reforms.
Several prominent Cuban dissidents have been allowed to travel recently due to Castro's changes. The trips have been applauded by Washington, and also may have lessened Havana's worries about the threat posed by dissidents.
Likewise, a U.S. federal judge's decision to allow Cuban spy Rene Gonzalez to return home was met with only muted criticism inside the United States, perhaps emboldening U.S. diplomats to seek further openings with Cuba.
To be sure, there is still far more that separates the long-time antagonists than unites them.
The State Department has kept Cuba on a list of state sponsors of terrorism and another that calls into question Havana's commitment to fighting human trafficking. The Obama administration continues to demand democratic change on an island ruled for more than a halfcentury by Castro and his brother Fidel.
And then there is Gross, the 64-year-old Maryland native who was arrested in 2009 and is serving a 15-year jail sentence for bringing communications equipment to the island illegally. His case has scuttled efforts at engagement in the past, and could do so again, U.S. officials say privately. Cuba has indicated it wants to trade Gross for four Cuban agents serving long jail terms in the United States, something Washington has said it won't consider.
Ted Henken, a professor of Latin American studies at Baruch College in New York who helped organize a recent U.S. tour by Cuban dissident blogger Yoani Sanchez, said the Obama administration is too concerned with upsetting Cuban-American politicians and has missed opportunities to engage with Cuba at a

The 2010-11 season is probably the pinnacle of his career thus far and won't be forgotten anytime soon. The Bulldogs became the Cinderella story of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 11 seed bulldozed their way to their inaugural Elite Eight appearance by defeating a Big 10 Conference member, a PAC-10 Conference member and Big East Conference member. The Zags defeated No. 6 seed University of Iowa; No. 3 seed UCLA and No. 10 seed University of Louisville before falling to No. 1 seed Stanford University.
Gonzaga closed the season with a school record 31 wins. After starting the season2-3, the Bulldogs went 29-2, including a 21-game winning streak that ended in the Elite Eight. The Zags were rewarded for their spectacular season, ending the year ranked a school-high eighth.
The recent success isn't a surprise for many as the Zag had slowly been making a name for themselves nationally. Gonzaga won its first-ever NCAA Tournament game in 2008-09 and found its way in its inaugural Sweet Sixteen game in 2009-10. The Bulldogs first appearance in the NCAA Tournament was in 2006-07.

with Lt. Archie Hicox in a ruined house in the village of Nadine, where they're supposed to meet with their contact, the German actress Bridget von Hammersmark. Here, Aldo is angry that the rendezvous place is a basement. Hicox tells him that it's actually a tavern, to which Raine replies that it's a 'tavern alright', but in a basement. He adds that fighting in a basement is a problem, to which Hicox replies that she wasn't looking for a place to fight, but a place isolated and without Germans. During the rendezvous a shootout occurs, leaving everyone in the tavern dead except von Hammersmark and a German soldier named Wilhelm. Aldo successfully bargains with Wilhelm to let them take von Hammersmark. After Wilhelm drops his weapon, von Hammersmarkguns him down. With the German speaking members of the Basterds all dead, Aldo decides that there's no other choice but for him, Donny, and Omar to attend the premiere in their places, posing as von Hammersmark's Italian escorts.

Use of student-centred, computer-mediated communication to enhance the medical school curriculum.
While it is clear that computers will play an important role in the study and practice of medicine their introduction into the curriculum remains controversial. Computer purchase has been made compulsory for incoming students. Members of the incoming class were allowed to purchase any computer and modem capable of using the communication program chosen by the school. No formal computer training was given. Students were encouraged to call for assistance or bring in their computers for configuration. The primary object of the system was for communication between the students and between students and faculty. The School of Medicine of the University of New Mexico. First-year medical students. The vast majority of students set up their computers and connectedto the system with little assistance. At the end of the first week of studies all the students were connected. Most of the students used the system on a daily basis. The greatest interest was in discussions concerning examinations with 93% of students reading these postings. The least-used aspect of the system was the exchange of learning issues from small group case discussions. Students also downloaded the curricular material provided but were discriminating in accessing this content. The student use of the computer as a communication tool has been a success. Students used the system in a variety of ways and by so doing also learned the basics of computer use and maintenance. The area of faculty training is often ignored but is considered crucial to the success

The presentation of tuberculosis as an isolated parotid lump is rare. In this paper, six cases with tuberculous parotitis are reported which were evaluated as a benign parotid neoplasm in 216 specimens pre-operatively. All but one of them had no previous history of tuberculosis and all had a parotid lump as a sole symptom for at least one year. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made, after superficial parotidectomy, by histopathology. Parenchymal involvement and intraparotid lymph node involvement with tuberculosis were seen in five and three patients, respectively. Two of the patients had lymph node involvement outside the parotid area. One of six patients had a coincidental Warthin tumour. A surgical approach is not only therapeutic but also diagnostic when other diagnostic tools fail.

The present invention is directed to a structure for use in interlocking together two elements and, in particular, to a structure for joining together parts of a medical implant. The structure includes a first interlocking form on a closure and a mating second interlocking form on a receiver. The closure is operably rotated into the receiver. The first and second interlocking forms are both helically wound so that the first interlocking form advances relative to the second interlocking form, when the closure with the first interlocking form is inserted in the receiver and rotated. At least one of the first or second interlocking forms includes a projection that overlaps and radially locks with the other interlocking form when the two forms are mated.
Medical implants present a number ofto thread the rod into them.
The second type of head is an open head wherein a channel is formed in the head and the rod is simply laid in an open channel. The channel is then closed with a closure member. The open headed bone screws and related devices are much easier to use and in some situations must be used instead of the closed headed devices.
While the open headed devices are often necessary and often preferred for usage, there is a significant problem associated with them. In particular, the open headed devices conventionally have two upstanding arms that are on opposite sides of a channel that receives the rod member. The top of the channel is closed by a closure member after the rod member is placed

headed implant that includes a rod receiving channel and a closure for closing the receiving channel after the rod is received therein. The mating and advancement structure includes a pair of mateable and helical wound interlocking forms with a first interlocking form located on an outer surface of the closure and a second interlocking form located on an inner surface of the receiving channel or receiver. The first and second interlocking forms are startable so as to mate and thereafter rotatable relative to each other about a common axis so as to provide for advancement of the closure into the receiver during assembly when the closure interlocking form is rotated into the receiver interlocking form. The first and second interlocking forms have a helical wound projection that extendswhich resists splaying tendencies of arms of a receiver. In one embodiment the interlocking form of the present invention provides a compound or xe2x80x9cnon-linearxe2x80x9d surface on a trailing face, thrust face or flank of the interlocking form.
The interlocking form located on the closure in one embodiment is helically wound about a cylindrical outer surface of the closure and has an inner radius or root, and an outer radius or crest that remain constant over substantially the entire length of the interlocking form. The receiver has a mating or similar shaped interlocking form wound about the interior thereof. In this embodiment the interlocking form has leading or clearance surfaces and trailing or thrust surfaces, referenced to the direction of axial movement of the form when rotated into one another.

the closure axis and only a portion of thrust surfaces of a closure receptacle face away from the axis.
While the axial extension or depression in one series is located on the thrust or trailing surface, it is also possible for such to be located on the opposite or leading surface or both.
In this series of embodiments, a section of the interlocking form at the crest, that is located radially outward of the root, is enlarged in cross sectional area to create a gripping, locking or stopping surface that resists slippage or sliding in a radial direction relative to an opposed interlocking form. In a complementary manner, a section of the interlocking form between the root and the crest and that is radially spaced from the root is enlargedleading surfaces. The nomenclature used to describe variations in the interlocking forms of the present invention is especially referenced to the external interlocking forms located on a closure, with complementary or similar shapes applied to the internal interlocking forms on a receiver. In an axial shoulder interlocking form of the present invention, a somewhat squared gripping shoulder is formed on an outer periphery of the external interlocking forms and an inner gripping surface on the internal interlocking forms. The axial shoulder interlocking form results in complementary cylindrical surfaces on the external and internal interlocking forms which mutually engage when the fastener or closure is rotated into a closure receptacle.
In an axial extending bead interlocking form, the external interlocking form is provided with a rounded peripheral bead or lateral

lip which projects in an axial direction along the interlocking form crest and a complementary rounded concave channel in the internal interlocking form. The reverse occurs with the internal interlocking form.
In a radial bead interlocking form, a rounded bead enlargement is formed on the radially outward periphery at the crest of the external interlocking form, while the internal interlocking form is formed in a complementary manner to receive the radial bead interlocking form.
A scalloped or scooped interlocking form is, in effect, a reciprocal of the axial bead interlocking form and has a rounded channel or groove located along the thrust surface of the external interlocking form, with a complementary rounded convex bead shape formed associated with the internal interlocking form.
A variation of the axial bead interlocking form isa medial bead embodiment. In the medial bead interlocking form, a bead projects from a base thrust surface of an external interlocking form in an axial direction at a location medially between the root and crest of the interlocking form. In a complementary medial bead internal interlocking form, an axial groove is formed in a base thrust surface between the root and crest. In a medial groove interlocking form, an axial groove is formed in a base thrust surface of the external interlocking form medially between the root and crest, while the internal interlocking form has an axial bead located medially between the root and crest.
Variations in the above described interlocking forms are envisioned with respect to relative extensions or enlargements and depressions or depth of grooves of

▲Could Anduin Wrynn be the next hero in the Heroes of the Storm franchise?
Late Tuesday night, a Korean member of the Blizzard Entertainment scene leaked some information via datamine related to the next hero slated to enter the Heroes of the Storm universe.
Lord Anduin Llane Wrynn, the High King of the Alliance, King of Stormwind, son of Varian Wrynn, nephew of Jaina Proudmoore and nephew of Magni Bronzebeard, among the other numerous titles he posses, is rumored to be entering the nexus.
Few individuals in the World of Warcraft franchise are more involved in the storyline than Anduin, even at the ripe old age of 18. He has fought Garrosh Hellscream and Sylvannas and learned the ways of priesthood by the Prophet Velen and the art of dagger throwingfrom Valeera Sanguinar.
His role in the universe was deemed so important that World of Warcraft historian, Nobbel87, dedicated a 20-minute video to his backstory.
Traditionally, when the Heroes of the Storm team announce a hero is slated to enter the nexus, the game's community is able to quickly theory-craft what their role and abilities may be.
With Anduin, that is thrown out the door.
Could he use his knowledge of the Holy Light in the Support role to assist his allies on the battlefield? What about his skills with his late father's sword named Shalamayne which appears to be the one he is wielding in the leaked image? Speaking of Varian, a multi-class hero, could Anduin join his father in that role?

matter, and it has been proposed that the beasts must have awakened from their sleep for purposes which are not clear at the moment.
The news coverage ends, and Crys arrives at the contruction site of the new Olivine Battle Tower. Seeing the many Pokémon helping out in the place, Crys gets interested and walks over to a construction worker at the entrace to inquire about the status of the building. The man remarks that they plan to have the facility ready by the end of next month, and says it should attract lots of visitors to the city. Just then, a rumble is heard from inside, and another worker comes running out with an urgent look on his face. He hollers that one of their storage tanks hascracked, and tells everyone to evacuate immediately. Crude oil and liquid waste all of a sudden come gushing out of the tower entrance, and the construction worker whom Crys is talking to jumps back in shock as he is about to be hit by the flow. Fortunately, Crys lifts him and herself into the air by Naton's psychic power just in time, and lands on a safe area.
The construction workers than realize that the liquid waste has run out into the sea, and Crys sees that the water in the bay has been polluted and completely stained black. Worried about the water Pokémon inhabiting in the region, Crys thinks hard to for a solution. But then whirlpools start to appear in the sea, and a number of Qwilfishes

come charging out to attack. One particular Qwilfish appears to be oversized, and Crys checks on her Pokédex to learn that the balloon Pokémon is able to increase its body volume by swallowing a large amount of water.
The giant Qwilfish fires a poison sting, and Naton quickly lifts Crys and the constuction worker away with its psychic. Crys remarks that the water Pokémon must be outraged by the pollution, and decides that the only way to pacify them at the moment is to capture them. She releases her full team, and start taking on the smaller Qwilfishes. The giant Qwilfish unleashes another poison sting, but Cubon fends them off with its thick club. Cubon then delivers a false swipe on the Qwilfish, and instantly shrinks it back toits normal size. After apologizing to the Qwilfishes for the accidental pollution, Crys throws up a handful of Pokéballs, and proceeds to kick them off, instantly capturing every single one of the wild Pokémon.
The construction worker thanks Crys, and dashes off to get help on clearing up the liquid waste they spilt. But then Crys notices that one captured Qwilfish seems unsettled in its ball, and looks over curiously at the direction it's wiggling towards. To her surprise, one baby Qwilfish is still floating weakly in the polluted sea, apparently poisoned by the liquid waste. She quickly has Naton carry it over, and decides that she has to bring it to the nearest PokémonCenter as soon as possible. Climbing onto Arcanon, Crys prepares to take off when a

blue creature all of a sudden jumps in front of her to block her way.
The crystal-like Pokémon whose purple mane flows elegantly behind it slowly moves towards Crys, and without warning unleashes a blinding light that instantly brightens up the whole area. Crys watches in amusement as it turns to leave, and realizes with surprise that the baby Qwilfish she's carrying has been fully healed. The construction workers discover at the same time that the oil and waste in the sea has been completely cleared as well, and Crys knows that the creature she just encountered is no ordinary Pokémon.
Later, Crys contacts Prof. Oak via her Pokégear, and the professor remarks that he is just about to call her. Oak explains that three legendary Pokémon, namely Entei, Raikouand Suicune, have just unleashed themselves from the underground of Ecruteak's Burnt Tower, and says he hopes Crys will be able to collect data about them as well. Crys reveals that she has already encountered one of them, and starts describing the crystal-like Pokémon to the professor. Oak believes that Suicune is whom Crys has met, and Crys promises she will try her best to track it down.
With a new mission in mind, Crys climbs on Arcanon, and reaffirms her determination to fill the Pokédex with her talents and skills as a capture specialist…

AVON PARK - After having the complaint against him twice dismissed, a hearing has been set to decide whether Avon Park City Manager Julian Deleon can recoup attorneys fees in his defense against alleged ethics violations.
Florida's Division of Administrative Hearings in Tallahassee has set 9 a.m., March 11 to 13 in the Avon Park City Council Chambers for the hearing. During that time, an administrative law judge will decide whether Deleon will get back the approximately $8,000 Deleon paid Tallahassee attorneys Albert Gimbel and Mark Herron to defend him.

Recordings of Convocations
Convocation: Jennifer Thompson
Created 30 March 2012; Published 10 April 2012
In 1984, Jennifer Thompson was a 22-year-old college student with a 4.0 GPA and lofty goals for her future. Her path was dramatically altered however, when a man broke into her apartment, put a knife to her throat, and raped her. In that moment, her determination took an entirely different direction, as she focused all attention on memorizing the man's features. Searching for scars, tattoos, and any unique features that could help her identify him, she was certain that she could put him in prison for life. After a composite sketch, line-up identification, and trial, Jennifer Thompson's testimony and memory led to a life sentence for Ronald Cotton. Years later, Thompson was asked to provide a DNAsample for further analysis of the case. She agreed to the request, positive that her identification of Cotton would be held up by science. In an instant, her life changed yet again, when it was revealed that Ronald Cotton was not her rapist, and after spending 11 years in prison as an innocent man, he was released.
In Picking Cotton, their New York Times best-selling and Soros Justice Media Fellowship award-winning book, which is being made into a movie, Jennifer Thompson and Ronald Cotton reveal their unlikely story of friendship and forgiveness. Devastated by her mistake, Thompson became an activist, speaking out about her mistake, and working to protect the wrongfully convicted. Now a member of the Actual Innocence Commission, the advisory committee for Active Voices, the Constitution Project,

Scarlett Rouge returns to PlumperPass, in a slightly bigger shape. She is still the young sweetie, showing up, as i would say, in an uber-doll fashion. With her bigger and softer curves even increasing her sexy impact. BBW Worship 101, the title of the image set and video update, stands as an accurate description: It's a straight hardcore scene - her 12th now for PlumperPass - with a 'hands on' dedication to worship her enormous surper juicy curves.

princess and escape.
It was initially released for the PS4 on March 15, 2016. The Steam version was released on May 18, 2016 and the PS Vita port on March 28, 2017. The game was later ported to the Nintendo Switch on August 2, 2018.
The game was released to critical praise, earning an 84 Metacritic score, and was Zero Punctuation's fifth best game of the year.
Ability Required to Proceed: You gain several 'brands' that open up new paths ranging from wall-jumping to reversing gravity.
Absurdly High Level Cap: The level cap is currently believed to be around 500, but may potentially be higher than that, given that certain nodes on the skill tree can be upgraded more than the indicated three times. But in your first playthrough, a Level 80better armor and a mace.
A God Am I: The final boss arrogantly declares himself greater than any other god, man, or flying spaghetti monster who ever lived. Unlike most examples of the trope, he has some evidence to back his claim: he stuffed the entire pantheon in his basement. The newest three are rotting and killable .
Airborne Mook: There is a number of flying enemies, and they can be quite a menace without a long-reaching weapon or some means of combat at a distance.
The Alcatraz: The Red Hall of Cages, but the torturers and prisoners are no longer distinguishable from one another.
All There in the Manual: A lot of subtle plot elements can be discovered through text descriptions and bestiary entries.
Alliterative Name: Murdiella Mal.
Amazing Technicolor Population: Characters hailing

from Gulchmire have green skin, black sclera, and scales instead of eyebrows. Characters from Jinderen have charcoal skin, red sclera, and small tusks.
Ambiguously Brown: Player characters from Markdor, Taenibir, or Liven have notably darker skin than the other origin countries.
Ambiguously Human: There's something very off about the Tristini. They have pale skin, Creepy Shadowed Undereyes, and an elongated jaw that appears to give them a permanent Cheshire Cat Grin, but their nature is otherwise left up in the air.
Anachronism Stew: In-universe. The island seems to contain weapons, clothes, armor, architecture, and locations cut wholesale from all over the world and across multiple time periods, with a Ziggurat from a southern desert kingdom built on top of a temple from a northern kingdom. It's because everything on the islandwas made by the Nameless God based on the memories of those sacrificed to him.
An Adventurer Is You: While two of the starting classes, the cook and the pauper, have poor equipment and no stat bonuses at the start, the other characters follow the standards for the trope. However, this is only the starting point, and like the Souls games, you are free to create your own character build. The Knight, who wields a sword and shield while clad in plated mail armor.
The Paladin, who wields a mace and heavy shield while clad in mail armor.
The Hunter, who wields a crossbow and a whip.
The Cleric, who uses miracles.
The Wizard, who uses magic.

when you are beneath them.
Blood Magic: The Blood Spells offered by the Order of the Betrayer are powerful, but also debuff your character after each use. The Betrayer craves bloodshed, so his gifts require that his followers shed some of their own blood to spill the blood of others, and their Creed items are being made out of processed blood: The Blood Vial contains magically treated human blood that heals the injuries of those who drink it
The Flask of Defilement is made up of tainted blood which lowers the resistances of those doused in it. Anyone who is affected by this is visibly dripping with black blood for its duration.
Body Horror: Due to her abuse of salt alkymancy, the Witch of the Lake is described as having ainstantly killing unprepared players. In other words, they are very aggressive. Fortunately, there are only two spawn points for them in the early-to-mid dungeons one in Mal's Floating Castle and the other is in an optional pitch-black area guarding the Divine Will Prayer item. They also appear in the Salt Alkamancery and the Crypt of the Dead Gods, the two end-game dungeons before the final one. Unfortunately in all areas, the surrounding is almost devoid of light that they seem to perfectly blend with the darkness.
Boss-Only Level: The Siam Lake and the Still Palace only contains the Witch of the Lake and The Nameless God respectively.
Bottomless Pits: If you try jumping at the lowest points of an outdoor dungeon, you may sometimes be treated with a Game

start of the game, you can choose what your character looks like without wearing any helmets nor armor.
With the massive possibilities in the Skill Tree, you can customize your characters' build and weapon specialties.
Chef of Iron: One of the starting classes is in fact the ship's chef, whose starting weapon is even a Frying Pan of Doom. While it's a bit of Joke Character, there's nothing stopping him from slaughtering the invading marauders on his boat, making calamari of the Kraekan on the deck, and slaying multiple gods on the island.
Chekhov's Gunman: King Jaret is one of many figures you'll read about in the game's Flavor Text, particularly about anything concerning the Castle of Storms. It's eventually revealed that he's the old man who's been guiding you sincepoor creature fall to its death.
Co-Op Multiplayer: The game has two-player co-op right off the bat. However, it has a few problems: it's local couch co-op only and due to the fact that the co-op mode was a late addition to the game, the game isn't balanced for the feature and there was very little to no QA testing for it, meaning there's a number of game-breaking progression bugs in the game should you play co-op. At least there is a workaround in order to play co-op online: you need to use the PS4 Shareplay feature.
Competitive Balance: Two of the end-game Heavy Armor sets contrast each other in terms of gameplay benefits. Mighty Glacier: The Tier 4 Umbral Set awarded for defeating Carsejaw provides the highest defense stat

This also applies to Prayers, which rely on the Wisdom stat.
Magic Knight: While several bosses combine martial prowess with magic, two of them play this particularly straight, having the appearance of imposing armored swordsmen who also wield powerful magic: The first boss, the Sodden Knight, wields a huge sword while occasionally blasting the floor with lightning magic. When he Turns Red, he combos the lightning magic with an overhead jumping slash.
The final boss, the Nameless God, wields a huge sword in tandem with Bullet Hell magic attacks.
Magic Wand: Spells can only be equipped if you have these in hand, aside from the Magic Tier requirements from the Skill Tree.
Magikarp Power: Most early-game weapons have low base damage, but exceptionally high scaling. This means that many, even the lowlypossibility.
Mercy Kill: The battle against the Third Lamb is essentially putting the once-noble beast out of its misery after everything the Untouched Inquisitor did to it.
The battle against the Forgotten King, Knight, and Judge is one of these, as you are ending the tortured imprisonment of the Three by the Nameless God so he can steal their prayers.
is one of these, as you are The battle against the Nameless God is described in the entry for his equipment as being an act of mercy, as his death released him from the mad torment of his life and his unending desire to gain a soul of candlelight rather than one born from salt .

mortals. When creatures die, the salt of their souls can be collected and used in various ways, although Salt Alkymancy is considered The Dark Arts by most religions and countries as it is a perversion of the natural order. Creatures born of salt can exist readily in the physical world, but are fated to die and have their salt reused in the cycle of life and death.
Candlelight souls are a sort of divine essence associated with the gods, the Candlelight Lady, and the higher Kraekans. Candlelit souls experience life in a mush more intense and vivid manner, but are fleeting and cannot stay within the physical world for very long; according to the Candlelit Lady, even being on the Nameless Island is difficult. The source of the conflictwithin the story of the game is because the Nameless God was born with a soul of salt, and desires a soul of light, and is doing everything he can to try to become a candlelit soul, to the point that he has been driven to madness .
Outside-Context Problem: The game begins with this. A war between two expansionist nations is about to come to a close with the arranged marriage of a princess. And then a Kraekan appears seemingly out of nowhere, attacks the ship with her on board, and leaves you stranded on an island that follows its own rules.
Path of Inspiration: Pretty much what the creed of the Three is or has devolved into. The Knight, the King, and the Judge are little more than

decaying husks barely clinging to life. Every prayer directed to them is implicitly heard by the Nameless God instead, who's been using the creed to drown the world in endless war for centuries.
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Mal's Floating Castle, a relatively out of the way bonus area that requires almost every brand in the game to reach, is a prime location for farming. The Crypt Keeper very near the sanctuary can drop Lord's Orders, King's Orders, and Shimmering Pearls, as well as quite a bit of money and salt, especially with the right idols placed in the sanctuary.
Permanently Missable Content: Souls stolen by enemies from your deaths will be permanently lost if you fail to recover them from that same enemy. The causes of which include dying fromcost of magic spells and prayers.
Religion of Evil: The Order of the Betrayer, a secret Creed dedicated to the Betrayer, whose thirst for suffering knows no bounds. You have to prove that you're willing to die trying to desecrate another Creed's Sanctuary just for the opportunity to join it. Increasing your devotion to the Creed requires succesfully desecrating other Creeds' Sanctuaries . It's so evil that merely drinking its healing consumable corrupts you a little. Unsurprisingly, the Creed specializes in debuff items and dark magic.
Replacement Goldfish: The Bloodless Prince was this to The Dried King, back when the king was alive. Basically, the king built a false prince out of clay, and tried to use him as a replacement after his brother died. The... thing that it became

15And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.
16They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.
18And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.
19They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.
20And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.
21They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
22Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.
23And he was purposing to put an end to them ifMoses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

1And he took his place on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads unholy names.
2And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority.

all the earth was wondering at the beast.
4And they gave worship to the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and worshipping the beast, they said, Who is like the beast? and who is able to go to war with him?
5And there was given to him a mouth to say words of pride against God; and there was given to him authority to go on for forty-two months.
6And his mouth was open to say evil against God, and against his name and his Tent, even against those who are in heaven.
7And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation.
8And all who are on theearth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death.
9If any man has ears, let him give ear.
10If any man sends others into prison, into prison he will go: if any man puts to death with the sword, with the sword will he be put to death. Here is the quiet strength and the faith of the saints.
11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and his voice was like that of a dragon.
12And he makes use of all the authority of the first beast before his eyes. And he makes the earth and those who are in it give

This change in style of compensation results in the most senior executives not only earning salaries higher than most other employees of their organizations but having earning opportunities unavailable to most. As a case example, the Forward recounts some of the circumstances at the American Jewish Committee.
David Harris, the executive director of the American Jewish Committee for the past 25 years, was paid an extra $538,144 above his salary in 2014 to compensate him for not using more than 200 vacation days over nearly 20 years. He was compensated for all of the days at his

plant workers said had been a military air defense base. The plant workers said that it had been empty for months, and Human Rights Watch saw no activity or personnel at the base from the outside, except for two guards.
Bagil Jafar Qasim, vice director general of the plant, provided Human Rights Watch with a list of 65 people killed in the attack, including 10 children. The list included two people still missing, whom Qasim believed were buried under the rubble and probably dead. Human Rights Watch visited three hospitals in Hodaida that had received 42 wounded from the attack. Several, including an 11-year-old girl, were in critical condition.
Wajida Ahmed Najid, 37, a resident in one of the compounds whose husband is a plant employee, said that when theother medics administered basic first aid, then sent the wounded on to hospitals in Hodaida. He said that within an hour of the airstrikes they had received at least 30 wounded and 8 bodies. At 1 a.m., he went to the main compound:
As I walked through the gates I saw my friend, an engineer at the plant, Abdu Samid al-Subaie. He was lying on the ground, just outside his apartment. He had a deep gash to his waist and he was bleeding to death as his two children lay at his side screaming and crying. But it was hopeless. At the same time the airplanes were still buzzing above us. We could hear them for hours afterwards.

be fair, there was that one year when DMac rushed for 1157 yards. After not surpassing the 500-yard mark his first two seasons, that breakout 2010 season was just enough to renew fans' faith in the oft-injured running back and set them up for the next three seasons of disappointment. What is it about McFadden that has fans with such a constant renewable resource of faith he can suddenly find his spark? Probably just being fans. All other evidence suggests that well is dry.
Two years ago, it was the one-cut-and-go style in the zone blocking scheme that was supposed to help McFadden break out. Then last season it was switching back to power blocking that was going to do the trick. The results for both was the sameonly deadbeats show improved effort in contract years. McFadden is by no means a deadbeat. Any suggestion McFadden wasn't playing as hard when he wasn't playing for a contract is complete nonsense. Not to mention an incredibly insulting insinuation.
Then there's the Maurice Jones-Drew factor. He will split carries with McFadden which could keep him fresh and lower the possibility of an injury. Then again, last season McFadden went down with his second injury of the year on his first carry late in his first game back and was out for another two weeks after that.
While the prospect of MJD keeping McFadden fresh/healthy may or may not actually mean anything, what very much will mean something is he will take carries away from McFadden. This may help the Raiders

As reported by The Daily Mail, the former repressive regime has opened its doors to tourists to augment their economy. One result is the uncovering of an estimated 40 shipwrecks that are resting under its 200-mile-long coastline. While no figures as to their total worth are still available, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the net value would be in the billions of dollars.
The shipwrecks that had been sighted by deep sea divers and other marine explorers span thousands of years, from the first sea vessels used by the ancient Greeks 2,000 to 3,000 years ago, the European galleons similar to the San Jose, and the warships and submarines destroyed during the First

material furnished after November 24th in the sum of $1,593.41 is a part of a single transaction. Thus it maintains the commencement date was October 21, 1958. Any payments made thereafter by Wilbois it says were received on account. The trial court thought otherwise and established a junior lien in the Jewett Lumber Company for only the unpaid $1593.41.
When Wilbois obtained his deed November 6, 1958, he commenced excavation work. It then became apparent much more money would be needed to make even the minimum repairs and improvements. At his request, plaintiff loaned him an additional $5000.00 and recorded its mortgage for that amount November 20, 1958, which was four days prior to the time the defendant Jewett Lumber Company furnished any material subsequent to November 6, 1958.
Itis plaintiff's position that, since the Jewett Lumber Company could obtain no lien for the material furnished when Wilbois had no title or beneficial interest in the property, it could not make retroactive the agreement under which material was furnished after November 24, 1958 by claiming it was a part of an open running account opened with Wilbois October 21, 1958. It was the trial court's position that there were two contracts involved, the first where the lumber company legally was compelled to look solely to Wilbois for its money, and the second after November 24th, when, under the statute it could look to the property as well. While it seems *606 the circumstances warrant such a separation, the books of the lumber company show it did not

Pediatric ophthalmology in the developing world.
It is estimated that of the 45 million people who are blind worldwide in 2000, 1.4 million are children from middle-income and low-income countries, the majority of whom live in the poorest regions of Africa and Asia. The focus of this paper is to discuss the status of pediatric ophthalmology in developing countries and the progress that has been made in the areas of avoidable childhood blindness and visual impairment, particularly corneal scarring as a result of vitamin A deficiency, congenital cataract and retinopathy of prematurity. In addition, we will review the prevalence of uncorrected refractive error and discuss the access to pediatric ophthalmologists in developing countries. Some developing countries have begun incorporating vitamin A supplementation and measles immunizations and have seen aNeeranjan Vikash Liliah: The designer with a unique touch

Three-dimensional anatomical vascular distribution in the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.
In head and neck reconstruction, the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, located adjacent to the area of reconstruction, is a very useful and easy-to-prepare flap. However, it is reported to have an unstable blood circulation that could result in partial necrosis of the skin island. The current study investigated the detailed three-dimensional vascular network in the flap to establish a method of preparation with a stable circulation. The pectoralis major muscle and the anterior chest skin on 12 sides of eight fresh cadavers were subjected to angiographic procedures in which contrast medium was injected selectively to the internal thoracic artery and the thoracoacromial artery. On another fresh cadaver, resin was injected in the same manner, and a clear specimen ofthe pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was prepared. The pectoralis major muscle consists of two anatomical vascular territories that the choke vessels in the muscle at the level of the fourth costal cartilage divide into cranial and caudal sides. The chest skin area on the caudal side where the skin island of the flap is prepared receives its blood supply from a dense anastomotic network formed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth intercostal perforating branches. The blood flow in the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery runs through the choke vessels that dilate at the elevation of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, first into the fourth intercostal perforating branches; then to the anastomotic vascular network of the fourth, fifth, and sixth intercostal perforating branches; and finally to reach the

LEADER
Gujarat Assembly election also presented Rahul Gandhi an opportunity to show that he could be an accommodative leader. In the context of Gujarat politics, OBC leader Alpesh Thakor and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani were essentially pitted against Patidar leader Hardik Patel.
Hardik Patel has been campaigning for a quota for Patidars in Gujarat either under the OBC category or by creating a separate quota. The OBCs are against making such a provision for Patidars as they fear this will affect their chances of employment and education.
Dalits and Patidars have also been seen in conflict at times in Gujarat. But in the run up to the Gujarat election, Rahul Gandhi managed to bring them all together and his own camp. Alpesh joined the Congress and contested on its symbol. Congressdid not field candidate against Jignesh while Hardik Patel campaigned for the Congress.
The maturity that Rahul Gandhi showed during the Gujarat polls may go a long way in making him the natural successor of Sonia Gandhi not only in the Congress but also in the Opposition camp. As principal challenger to PM Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi may emerge as the glue for Opposition's unity ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2019.

A hole in the head shooting pain trembles
nightshades coldly down the spine
a soul lost in the land of the living
carried away in darkness
flying inside dark clouds holding just a dream
Distant thunder roars lightening splitting cracks
sure as the crow flies crawling opens Hell's gates
dark jewels of the night
charred remains churning in a cauldron
boiling goodness tears of thoughts
Piercing screams spawning nightmares
holding a promise once made
walking in a valley amongst the dead
shadows now smile hearing animals scream
as the moon plays silver dancing light
Dreams snatched away from reality
the crow calls echoes in silence
victims of this world howling over and back
tragedy cries in their pain and suffering
eyes seeking light
whispers through the branches
a heather bleat creature of the night calls
Haunted by humans chained to the earth
awaiting shadows and sunsets
a cursed banshee wails supernaturalscreams
from everywhere and nowhere
Mind numbing winds passing through
a white silhouette shredded shroud
around a heart entombed
in agonies' twilight shades clouds darken
storms brewed stirring specters chase the wind
Cold rains become lost tears
the willow weeps in eternal sorrows
a lament for the dead
as the silver crescent moon smiles goodbye
Blends in clear as day after sunrise
forgotten in a valley of unrest
death bell's toll out from the past
onyx feathered crows call painful cries
Forever seeking heaven's gate now sealed
that promised choice was lost ages ago
only burning Hell fires
or cold earthworms await

the jewels shine among all the golden

And grasped in the cruel wind
As wisdom was swept away
O Despair and Faith,
Erase these anguished dreams of mine
At the glow of the twilight
I will walk
Towards the dawn
orbiting her planet here
in my spacious long distance solitude
this synchronous rotation
only adds to my loneliness
watching her with a
three hundred and sixty five
twenty four seven obsession
peeking around crescents to catch a glimpse
getting attention by rare total momentary eclipse
but occasionally I am fully exposed
to the wonderful sight and beauty of glowing blue hues
there was a time when I was once part of you
you were once part of me
now only a crash course destiny
can bring us together

His eyes wreathed with lines of laughter
like the rays of the morning sun.

high in San Juan Mountains of Colorado at the confluence of the West and North forks at the ghost town of Animas Forks and flows south past the ghost towns of Eureka and Howardsville. At Silverton, the river flows into the Animas Canyon. The Durango and Silverton Narrow gauge railroad follows the river through the canyon to Durango. From Durango the river flows south into New Mexico through the town of Aztec to its confluence with the San Juan River at Farmington. The only major tributary of the Animas River is the Florida River which confluences just north of the Colorado–New Mexico border.
Indigenous peoples
The ancestral Puebloan site of Aztec Ruins National Monument is situated along the river in the present day town of Aztec and for much ofits course the river flows through native Ute and Navajo lands.
Engineering and development
Numerous irrigation ditches serve the surrounding farmland along the river. The Durango Pumping Plant, completed in 2011, as part of the Animas-La Plata Water Project, draws an average annual of 57,100 acre-feet from the river, for storage in Lake Nighthorse.
Wildlife and plants
The Animas serves as habitat to resident and migratory bald eagles which arrive in the winter months to take advantage of the ice-free river.

Greenberg, with his claim that cubism was a higher and more masterful attempt at pure art, was wrong, because this is a pattern and a set style and expressionism is not.
Kirchner was an addict and a depressive and an expressionist and a man whose sexuality boomed inside him, like a lot of men. The difference between De Brucke and Bleue Reiter is lack of female nudes in the latter. And Kirchner drank and his health failed him, of course, and the Nazi's infuriated him and he died by shooting himself twice at his home in Switzerland.

Ascher syndrome is a disease that is characterized by upper eyelid edema, double lip, and swelling in the thyroid glands whose etiology is unknown, and it is usually seen in young people over the age of 20. Blepharochalasis and double lip are observed in these patients as a result of the recurring lip and upper eyelid edema. The disease is benign and seen in both sexes and all races in about the same amounts. Although this syndrome rarely leads to functional problems, it usually leads to psychological problems in the patients it affects due to the malformations on their faces. In this case presentation, we reported the surgical treatment of a 27-year-old patient diagnosed with Ascher syndrome and displayed double lip based on this

now, enmity between the Houthis and AQAP makes their presence in the Jizan border area improbable. AQAP has declared the Shiite Houthis heretics and staged suicide bombings against them, while the Houthis have pledged to rout the militant group from Yemen.
For the guards patrolling the border, then, the biggest concern is that its frontier lies in the hands of a group whose main constituents are local tribesmen who live off smuggling.
Last year in Jizan province alone, border guards detained 235,000 people trying to cross the border illegally, seized 2,800 weapons including assault rifles, hand grenades and small rockets, and 16 tonnes of hashish, Col Asmari said.
Saudi Arabia is working on a new border road with a fence running alongside as well as tall posts for cameras and radarequipment that should allow guards to maintain a watch on the entire length of the frontier and dispatch patrols quickly.
But the project will take years to complete. Although it has been in the works for many years, it was slowed down by the difficulty of the terrain, by legal disputes over land ownership and by the war.
In the meantime, this will remain one of the most dangerous places in Saudi Arabia. Last year two border guards were killed in Jizan province by smugglers. Guards in both the observation post and in another, much higher position far into the mountains, said they are occasionally shot at from a distance.

1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to a hydraulic reservoir in a tandem master cylinder for a vehicle.
2. Description of the Prior Art:
Generally, a tandem master cylinder includes a hydraulic reservoir for reserving brake fluid. The hydraulic reservoir consists of a main portion defining a fluid reservoir chamber, and two brake fluid supply portions defining fluid paths respectively, and being formed under the main portion. The two brake fluid supply portions are contiguous with the mainportion. The fluid reservoir chamber of the main portion communicate with the fluid paths of the two brake fluid supply portions. The top of the main portion is formed as an opening. The two brake fluid supply portions are connected to brake fluid connection portions of a tandem master cylinder body, respectively.The fluid paths of the brake fluid supply portions communicate with fluid pressure generating chambers of the tandem master cylinder body. A cap is fitted to the opening of the main portion of the hydraulic reservoir. The reservoir is made of synthetic resin so that it is light, and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir can be observed from the exterior.
The hydraulic reservoir is relatively complicated in shape. In the manufacture of the hydraulic reservoir, an upper part including the opening, and a lower part including the brake fluid supply portions are separately formed, and the formed upper and lower parts are heat-welded with each other to obtain the hydraulic reservoir as one body. However, there are some problems on mechanical strength and reliability of sealing

just one more minor knight in
service to a rich landed nobleman.
However, his uncle on his mother's side,
Godfrey the Hunchback, Duke of Lower
Lorraine, died childless and named his
nephew, Godfrey of Bouillon, as his heir
and next in line to his duchy of Lower
Lorraine. This duchy was an important
one at the time, serving as a buffer
between the kingdom of France and the
German lands.
In fact, Lower Lorraine was so important
to the German kingdom and the Holy Roman
Empire that Henry IV, the German king
and future emperor, decided in 1076 that
he would place it in the hands of his
own son and give Godfrey only Bouillon
and the Margraviate of Antwerp as a test
of Godfrey's abilities and loyalty.
Godfrey served Henry IV loyally,
supporting him even when Pope Gregory
VII was battling the German king in the
Investiture Controversy. Godfreyfought
alongside Henry and his forces against
the rival forces of Rudolf of Swabia and
also took part in battles in Italy when
Henry IV actually took Rome away from
the pope.
At the same time, Godfrey was struggling
to maintain control over the lands that
Henry IV had not taken away from him, as
his uncle's widow, Matilda of Tuscany,
was claiming them. Another enemy outside
the family also tried to take away other
bits of his land, and Godfrey's
brothers, Eustace and Baldwin, both came
to his aid. Following long struggles,
and after proving that he was a loyal
subject to Henry IV, Godfrey finally won
back his duchy of Lower Lorraine in
1087. Still, Godfrey would never have
had much power in the German kingdom or
in Europe if it had not been for the
coming of the Crusades.

about 4000 to
8000 mounted knights and 25,000 to
55,000 infantry camped on his doorstep.
But Godfrey and Alexius I had different
goals. The Byzantine emperor wanted the
help of the Crusader soldiers to
recapture lands that the Seljuk Turks
had taken. The Crusaders however had the
main aim of liberating the Holy Land in
Palestine from the Muslims and
reinstating Christian rule there. For
them, Alexius I and his Turks were only
a sideshow. Worse, the Byzantine emperor
expected the Crusaders to take an oath
of loyalty to him. Godfrey and the other
knights agreed to a modified version of
this oath, promising to help return some
lands to Alexius I. By the spring of
1097 the Crusaders were ready to march
into battle.
Their first major victory, with
Byzantine soldiers at their side, was at
the city of Nicaea, close to
Constantinople, which the Seljuk Turks
had taken in 1085.Godfrey and his
knights of Lorraine played a minor role
in the siege of Nicaea, with Bohemond
successfully commanding much of the
action. Just as the Crusaders were about
to storm the city, they suddenly noticed
the Byzantine flag flying from atop the
city walls. Alexius I had made a
separate peace with the Turks and now
claimed the city for the Byzantine
Empire. These secret dealings were a
sign of things to come in terms of
relations between Crusaders and
Byzantines.
Godfrey continued to play a minor but
important role in the battles against
the Muslims until the Crusaders finally
reached Jerusalem in 1099. Before that
time, he helped to relieve the vanguard
at the Battle of Dorylaeum after it had
been pinned down by the Seljuk Turks
under Kilij Arslan I, with the help of
the other crusader princes in the main
force and went on to sack the

Seljuk
camp. After this battle and during the
trek through Asia Minor some sources
suggest that Godfrey was attacked by a
bear and received a serious wound which
incapacitated him for a time. In 1098
Godfrey took part in the capture of
Antioch, which fell in June of that year
after long and bitter fighting. During
the siege some of the Crusaders felt
that the battle was hopeless and left
the Crusade to return to Europe. Alexius
I, hearing of the desperate situation,
thought that all was lost at Antioch and
did not come to help the Crusaders as
promised. When the Crusaders finally
took the city, they decided that their
oaths to Alexius had been breached and
were no longer in effect. Bohemond, the
first to enter the city gates, claimed
the prize for himself. A Muslim force
under Kerbogha, from the city of Mosul,
arrived and battled theCrusaders, but
the Christians finally defeated these
Islamic troops.
After this victory, the Crusaders were
divided over their next course of
action. The bishop of Le Puy had died at
Antioch. Bohemond decided to remain
behind in order to secure his new
principality and Godfrey's younger
brother, Baldwin, also decided to stay
in the north at the Crusader state he
had established at Edessa. Most of the
foot soldiers wanted to continue south
to Jerusalem, but Raymond IV of
Toulouse, by this time the most powerful
of the princes, having taken others into
his employ, such as Tancred, hesitated
to continue the march. After months of
waiting, the common people on the
crusade forced Raymond to march on to
Jerusalem, and Godfrey quickly joined
him. As they traveled south into
Palestine, the Crusaders faced a new
enemy. No longer were the Seljuk Turks
the rulers of these lands. Now the
Christian army had

in an expansion of investment and economic output, as explained by colleague Stephen J. Entin:
Most tax cuts lose revenue, even after accounting for their effects on GDP and job creation. Expensing is different. It loses tax revenue initially, as new investments are written off in the year they are made, instead of being depreciated over time. However, for each investment project, all the write-off is taken in the first year, with no write-offs taken in later years. …In the first few years of expensing, total write-offs exceed those under current law because old investments are still being written off under existing depreciation rules, in addition to the full expensing of new investments. As the old investments pass through the system, annual write-offs fall back to levels only slightlyPolice ran along the university perimeter and into its entrance and dragged some protesters out along the ground.

ACT UP/NY's 30th Anniversary March and Rally
Thirty years ago, on March 24th the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, or ACT UP for short, did its first non-violent civil disobedience action. 100 people, some with HIV or AIDS, were arrested that day protesting the high price of AZT, the only AIDS drug at the time. ACT UP would go on to use direct action protest to revolutionize the drug approval process, fight for life-saving social security disability benefits and housing, accellerate drug research and eventually launch an international campaign to give millions of people in the West and developing world, access to the newly created AIDS treatments. On March 30th, ACT UP commemorated its first action at a public street memorial and march and vowed to fight

The bus driver looked in his rear view mirror then motioned with his hand to cross the street. Ms. Johnson checked the traffic once more, but, as she stepped from in front of the bus, she was struck by an automobile operated by Linda Martin. The bus driver did not warn that an automobile was approaching.
Ms. Johnson sued both Bi-State and Linda Martin. The driver was deceased at the time Ms. Johnson initiated litigation. Ms. Johnson settled with Ms. Martin who was then dismissed as a party. At the close of plaintiff's evidence, the trial court granted Bi-State's motion for directed verdictto wait for another bus to take her home. Ms. Johnson looked at the driver of the bus. He looked at her, looked up at his rear view mirror, and waved toward the other side of *868 the street. The driver was wearing a blue Bi-State uniform. By offer of proof, Ms. Johnson testified that she had been a passenger on the bus for four or five years prior to the date of the accident, that she had disembarked at the stop at Lucas and Sixth Streets on prior occasions, that the same bus driver had driven the bus on prior occasions and had made the same waving motion to her when she crossed in front of the bus to get to her next bus.

Another jump in time and we are at the hospital when Marion is about to give birth, and tears that run down her face mirror the rain that washes across the windscreen of Gilles' parked car. Then Marion is an ecstatic bride in white, but the wedding night reveals a secret. And finally, at a beach resort in Italy, when all the promise of a love affair lies ahead, there's a happy beginning, as they swim together into the sunset.
The two central performances are superb and Ozon uses music as a friend. The structure startles, allowing us to share the whole gamut of emotions that Gilles and Marion experience. From contempt, resentment and indifference to the flush of first attraction,played for three seasons.

receiving Pitocin, to the waiting room so that he could attend to another patient in the birthing room. When Klvana was through with the other patient, he stopped administering Pitocin to James and told her to return to the office the following day.
When James returned, the receptionist told her that Klvana was too busy with other patients to attempt to induce labor. Later, when Klvana examined James she was dilated four centimeters and he broke her water. He told her she would begin labor within 48 hours, gave her his telephone number, and told her to call him when she again went into labor.
At 2 p.m. that afternoon the contractions were 15 to 20 minutes apart, and James called Klvana. Pursuant to his instructions, she called back whenthe contractions were five, four, and three minutes apart.
Klvana met James at his office at 8:30 a.m. the next morning. James was dilated nine centimeters. Klvana administered Pitocin, and indicated that James's contractions were neither strong enough nor close enough for an imminent birth. At approximately 11 a.m., Klvana and the baby's father began physically pushing on James's abdomen. James was still receiving Pitocin. The fetus's heartbeat was not being monitored. During the last hour of James's labor, Klvana monitored the fetus's heart rate with a stethoscope.
Upon delivery of a baby girl, Klvana took the baby to a small bathtub, flushed her with water, and massaged her chest. He left the room with the baby, leaving James, who was bleeding heavily, on the bed. Klvana returned and indicated

1984. Doyle told Ennis that she and Klvana would meet her at the office. When Doyle arrived, she informed Ennis that Klvana was attending another birth but would arrive soon thereafter. Doyle performed a pelvic examination, determined that Ennis was dilated two centimeters, and informed Ennis that they still had awhile before delivery. Ennis and her husband were eating a meal in a local restaurant when her contractions intensified. Klvana's office was closed when Ennis returned. A person named Gale arrived, admitted Ennis to the office, and indicated that Doyle was on her way. Ennis's water broke as she walked up the stairs to Klvana's office. A pad inside her underwear was stained with meconium. When Doyle arrived, she saw the meconium but indicated that everything was allright.
After another pelvic examination, Doyle determined that Ennis was dilated five centimeters. At approximately the same time that Klvana entered the room, a baby boy was delivered in heavy meconium. Although breathing, the baby was blue and congested. Klvana stated that he had to get the meconium out from the baby's throat. Doyle suctioned meconium with a bulb syringe and the baby was no longer blue.
Doyle telephoned Dr. Paul Fleiss and described the situation. Following this conversation, everyone, including Klvana, took the baby to Dr. Fleiss's office. As soon as Dr. Fleiss saw the baby boy, he knew that he was in a life-threatening condition and ordered that the baby be taken to Children's Hospital, where he was intubated and placed on a respirator. Had Dr. Fleiss been

speed delivery. Friel's chart contained a notation that Friel had dilated to nine centimeters but that she was not transferred to a hospital.
A baby boy was delivered at 12:48 p.m. He was bluish purple in color, wheezing, and would not cry or nurse. Klvana assured Friel the baby would be all right in twenty-four hours, instructed her to give him sugar water, and told her to return in one or two days. Klvana made no referral to a pediatrician.
Friel went to sleep at 10 p.m. When she awoke, she discovered that her son was not breathing and she called paramedics. The baby was taken to Henry Mayo where he was pronounced dead.
*1698 An autopsy determined the baby's cause of death was perinatal complications associated with a diabetic motherand prematurity.
Klvana visited Friel later that morning. Klvana told Friel the police would accuse both of them of killing the baby if she told them that she had planned a hospital delivery but did not know the name of the hospital. Klvana indicated that he would insert the name of a hospital in Friel's medical records. Klvana stated the baby would have died anyway even if hospitalized immediately.
The Palacios Death
Arleen Palacios was examined by Klvana on June 27, 1984, and given a March 6, 1985, due date. Palacios's water broke on February 28, 1985. When Doyle arrived at Palacios's home, she discovered that Palacios was dilated only one or two centimeters. Doyle contacted Klvana, who instructed Doyle to bring Palacios to his office since he was busy attending

disease. Prior to trial, the People requested a reexamination of the cause of death by Dr. Zdena Pavlova, a pediatric pathologist at County Hospital Medical Center at Women's Hospital. Following this examination, the baby's cause of death was changed to hypoxia associated with amniotic fluid and meconium aspiration in the baby girl's lungs. A second pediatric pathology expert similarly found evidence of aspiration of the amniotic content.
After the baby girl had died, Klvana went to La Verne's house and inquired whether anyone had asked any questions regarding the delivery. He stated that the death would be blamed either on the La Vernes or on him. He told the La Vernes to state that they were planning on a hospital delivery but that La Verne went into labor whenshe was in Klvana's office. Klvana asked that the La Vernes not mention either Dr. Schober or Doyle to the authorities. At Klvana's request, La Verne subsequently met him at Dr. Schober's office to fill out new papers so that he could create a new medical chart.
Other Deliveries
Evidence of deliveries, unrelated to those which resulted in charged crimes but relevant to Klvana's subjective awareness that his methods were dangerous to human life, was introduced at trial.
On September 20, 1981, Mary DeGennaro's water broke. Klvana met DeGennaro at Granada Hills. He began administering Pitocin at 5 a.m. the *1701 following morning. DeGennaro was first connected to an electronic fetal monitor and then to an internal monitor. Klvana detected meconium staining and a decrease in the fetus's heartbeat. He indicated

that the meconium staining was a bad sign and that no more than two hours could pass before he would have to perform a Cesarean section delivery. The baby was delivered without complications.
On December 9, 1982, Karen Noel was admitted to Northridge. Noel had previously indicated to Klvana that she desired a vaginal delivery. Although Klvana verified that the baby was in a breech position, he neither informed Noel of the risks of brain damage or death posed by a vaginal delivery nor prepared her for a Cesarean section delivery. After a baby boy was vaginally delivered, he was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit, remained hospitalized for 13 days, and suffered temporary nerve damage and speech impairment. Northridge's nursing staff brought Klvana's management of the Noeleach delivery which formed the basis of a second degree murder conviction. This evidence included the Pitocin-related mishap at Downstate which prevented Klvana from becoming chief resident; the Loma Linda patient death, as well as Drs. Brandstater's and Brauer's advisements to Klvana regarding his cavalier attitude; Klvana's misrepresentation of his board eligibility and his omissions of his former affiliation with Loma Linda or his probationary status on subsequent applications for privileges; the revocation of Klvana's privileges by various hospitals; Klvana's exposure during the DeGennaro delivery to the warning sign posed by meconium staining and the proper use of a fetal monitor when administering Pitocin; Klvana's exposure during the Noel delivery to the need, in appropriate cases, to deliver via Cesarean section; the use of Popras and high-risk forms

religious, tribal and other non-class allegiances that stand in the way of them becoming an instrument of national salvation as was the case with the July 26th Movement in Cuba or the NLF in Vietnam.
Indeed, at the outset the Houthis had a distinctly ISIS ring, even if based on a different lineage as Charles Schmitz explained in an article in the Middle East Institute, a think-tank run by Richard A. Clarke, a career State Department official who opposed the war in Iraq. Schmitz refers to Zaydism, the religion of the Houthis:
Zaydism, the religion of the imams that ruled Yemen for a thousand years, was severely repressed by Republican leaders during the years of the Yemen Arab Republic. A key component of Zaydism under the Imams was the ideathat only the Sada, those in the blood line of the family of Fatima and Ali, are eligible to rule the Muslim community. In spite of the political diversity among the Sada, Republican leaders attack them all as agents of the ancient regime; the government promoted Sunni Salafism and Wahhabism, imports from Saudi Arabia, in the Zaydi heartland as alternatives.
The notion that bloodlines have any value in creating a modern state that is committed to the welfare of all its citizens strikes one as counterproductive to say the least. If some Sunnis dream of restoring the caliphate and beheading anybody who gets in the way, what makes Zaydism any better even if its adherents forsake beheading?

Masood Shirazi-Parsa is a native and citizen of Iran. His wife, Georgina, is a native and citizen of Mexico. They met while students in the United States, and, in 1982, moved to Iran and married. Georgina Shirazi-Parsa made three trips to the United States during the course of their marriage. The first, in 1983, was to give birth to their daughter; the second occurred in 1985 when her husband was drafted into the Iranian army. The third and final trip, Petitioner contends, was occasioned by a series of events that occurred about August 1988. The couple was invited to dinner at an army officer's home. During the course of the evening, Georgina became very upset when the

seized and beaten only immediately following the dinner-party incident during which his wife and an officer's wife got into a fight concerning his wife's religion. His detention was occasioned by this incident, and it is clear that the incident at the dinner had resparked the authorities' interest in him. Thus, in light of the pattern described in the Country Reports, the receipt of a summons several weeks later can only be viewed as related to this incident. While the Board emphasized Petitioner's testimony that the summons contained no charges, the Country Reports indicate that arbitrary detentions are the norm. Moreover, unlike the Board, we do not perceive the time-lag between the time of the abduction and beating and receipt of the summons to indicatethat the two incidents were unrelated. As the Country Reports indicate, informal detentions often conclude with the victim's release, only to be followed again later by more formal incarcerations.
21
Once it is recognized that the summons fit into an overall pattern of political arrests and detentions on the part of the Iranian regime, we have little trouble concluding that the evidence compels the conclusion that a reasonable person in Petitioner's position would possess, upon receipt of the summons, a well-founded fear of persecution on account of political opinion.

The only thing that's been as dominant as the Warriors' face-melting offense this NBA season has been the Spurs' impenetrable defense. Naturally, that's what everyone wanted to see on Saturday: could Golden State again light up the best opposition the league has seen in years? The answer was a resounding no.
Saturday's loss in San Antonio notched just about every low mark for the Warriors offense this season. Not only was it Golden State's lowest-scoring game of the season, but the Warriors had their season lows in points per possession, effective field goal percentage and True Shooting percentage. It was the lowest-possession game of the season for the Warriors and had the second-fewest free throw attempts this year.
In January, Stephen Curry danced with every defender the Spurs threw athim, even silent titan Kawhi Leonard. In that game, the Warriors looked unstoppable and the Spurs looked a step too slow to keep up with modern basketball's most chaotic and skilled team. The reverse was true on Saturday. Golden State's typical violent frenzy was subdued by its mirror image on defense. The Spurs flew around to cover gaps and make Curry, Draymond Green and the Warriors' facilitators think twice about how they wanted to attack.
Let's recognize just how much work the Spurs had to do just to slow up the Warriors. Leonard, Danny Green and LaMarcus Aldridge trapped and switched like crazy. When Aldridge, who started at center in place of a healthy Tim Duncan, wasn't out chasing Curry around the perimeter, he was forced to cover the

a short time after they have hatched. Soon, these grow into workers, who take over the duties of feeding the rest of the larvae in the nest. 5
Yellow Jacket workers are typically seen foraging as early as June. As the season progresses, they become more and more persistent in their efforts to find food. They have a tendency to take over outdoor activities during the late summer and early fall, which is their peak season, and are often seen foraging boldly around waste receptacles, soda stands, outdoor dining, picnics, and anywhere else there is a food source for the nest.
The aggressive behavior of yellow jackets coupled with their tendency to attack as a group makes them a formidable pest to deal with.

A quiet, astoundingly courageous counter-revolution has been going on in the cities of Iran, instigated by a small number of women. It began last December, when 31 year old mum, Vida Movahedi, stood on a box in a busy Tehran, in trousers and a top, with her hair uncovered. She waved her white headscarf and looked expressionless as she repudiated state enforced hijabs and cloaks.

It was a soft, silent, most electrifying protest. Other women have followed, only a small number, but their images on social media multiply exponentially. The most moving example is of an old woman, who struggles to climb up and stand on the edge of a frozen fountain. She too removes her hijab, then wavesit.
Dozens of these rebels have been arrested. Claims of torture are seeping out. Narges Hosseini, who was arrested for protesting Iran's compulsory hijab, faces 10 years in prison. Among these restive Iranians are lawyers such as the Nobel prize winning, human rights lawyers Shirin Ebadi, hounded out the country, and Narges Sotoudah, who was imprisoned for years.
In Saudi Arabia young men are being savagely punished and some beheaded for resisting oppression; Egypt is now appallingly repressive. The Saudi dissident blogger, Raif Badawi has been repeatedly lashed and is going mad in his cell. The son of an Egyptian acquaintance was taken away and may have been killed for his online comments. His younger brother has taken up where his brother left off.

on from reserve if the unit with the instrument comes in. Here is how he deployed:
One unit, which I think was a big group of Raptors with a lord attached, scattered onto my guys and were destroyed. His shooting was pretty devastating, taking out all of my tanks. He then assaulted the Tac squad with a big Daemon guy, killing the sergeant in a challenge. Overall, he did quite a bit of damage, but I still had my heavy hitters coming in....
My reserves showed up. I got everything except for my assault squad, which had a mishap and had to go back into reserves. The melta speeders hit their mark next to the Landraider and blew it up. The first storm talon scattered, but remained behind the Helldrakefor rear armour shots. The second one scattered almost onto the other, but I could rotate it to prevent it from touching. This, however, meant the Helldrake was no longer in his arc of fire. The storm raven came on from the short edge to the left of my bastions, not wanting to risk a deep strike mishap. The first Stormtalon got some great rolls and took down the Helldrake. My Sternguard dropped in on the Pink Horrors and Bloodletters. Taking a decent chunk out of both. Overall, I didn't make a big enough dent in them to prevent what was coming, but it still felt good to kill some Chaos scum....
At this point, he started killing everything, and I esentially stopped taking pictures as I was too

Truman took its home court with something to prove against John F. Kennedy and finished the night with a season sweep of its biggest rival.
Led by the strong play of Krystal Pearson and Lynda Fields, the Mustangs improved their potential playoff seed and earned their sixth win in a row with a 65-54 victory against the visiting Knights on Wednesday in PSAL Class AA girls basketball.
The win was the second straight victory for the team over Kennedy this season, after besting them in a road game by just two points on Dec 14.

Buddhism is not flawed.
Buddhism is not a religion. A man named Buddha was materially rich. He didn't feel whole. He sought out for the truth, outside his kingdom. He discovered that there was a lot of suffering. He meditated and lived only in the present. He achieved enlightenment. He taught others that he wanted every one to search for it themselves, and follow his 4 principles in order to reach nirvana. He was not an idol, nor a lord. He simply shared lessons he learned in his life, and knew it would help others if they applied it to their lives.

To understand how it ends, first you must go back to the beginning.
Gradius was born from the 80s post-Space Invaders gold rush, created by a team within Konami's Osaka headquarters headed up by the young and inexperienced programmer Hiroyasu Machiguchi. A failed designer in his early twenties, Machiguchi worked alongside a handful of the company's youthful employees to a simple plan: creating a shooting game that could eclipse the then champion of the genre, Xevious.
Within the naivety of that strategy there was some serious magic at work, though. Building upon the foundations of 1981's Scramble, an early and successful side-scrolling Konami shooter, and utilising the then-sizeable power of a new 16-bit PCB, Machiguchi's team constructed a world richer than any that had gone before it in the genre.
Theresult was a playable digest of the culture consumed by hungry otaku in 80s Osaka. Inspired by Star Wars and a team visit to see an anime adaptation of E.E. Smith's Lensman books, Gradius was a deep science-fiction fantasy that propelled you through fields of tentacles, across rocky passageways with gurgling volcanoes and running through techno-passages busy with bullet-spewing turrets. Lost in these busy alien landscapes was always the impossibly small, improbably cute Vic Viper. From its inception in 1985, Gradius sold you on the loneliness of space while impressing you with the sheer hostility of it.
Credit's due to programmer Atsutomo Nakagawa, who worked alongside Iuchi on Gradius 5, Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga - the latter being made with a core team of just three people.

stars lay systems informed by RPGs that, thanks to Henk Roger's The Black Onyx and its like, were just beginning to find popularity in Japan. A system whereby player progression branched out at the end of each level was replaced, due to memory limitations, with something more immediate, and something much more effective. Power-up capsules filled a gauge at the bottom of the screen that players could cash in at any point, giving them access to an immaculately balanced toy box of speed-ups, missiles, lasers and shields.
Success wasn't immediate, but Gradius' legacy was lasting, and by the time the task of making its fourth sequel landed at Treasure's Tokyo offices the formula conjured up by a team of first-timers had changed little. Those six slots at the bottomof the screen remain - as does the question mark granting you a shield, a placeholder inserted by an original development team who had run out of time that has remained in place ever since. It's no small testament to the Gradius magic that the rightly revered developer of such genre masterpieces as Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun decided, some 19 years on, to leave the formula largely intact.
Treasure brought something else though: a little of the sense of purpose missing in the competent if aimless Gradius 4, and a vast, deep love of the series' past. It helped, of course, that Treasure's own history interwove with Gradius', the developer splintering out from Konami in the early 90s. It helped too that lead planner Hiroshi Iuchi's brace of shooters

wake. They can be frozen into place, allowing you to throw and hold deadly shapes, or directed to spit blue dashes of laser fire across the screen.
There's still study required for success in Gradius 5, but more than ever it's backed up by allowing for moments of audacious flair - for moments of improbable risk turned into impossible escape by a second's quick thought. Treasure ran the series' system's deeper, but it's never far away from the humble vision of that original team in Osaka: it's about the nerdish dream of being the lone starfighter taking on an entire fleet single-handedly, and about the iconic heroism of escaping the Death Star as it ignites around you.
It's about something simpler, too. The appeal of the shooter is in theChronicles, grounds the fireworks with a score that's both stately and urgent, though it's never somber. Indeed there's none of the solemnity that runs through its contemporary, R-Type Final - a game that foresaw the death of its genre, as well as its developer, and went out in a poetic swell of melancholy. Gradius 5, on the other hand, is at its most serious when in pursuit of pure, visceral joy.
Which in many ways makes it the more sobering game, in hindsight. A relatively high-profile release that brought together the masters of the form with one of the genre's greatest series, Gradius 5 was a big-ticket production - the kind of which shooters had hardly seen before, and will most likely never see again.

barely a mention. Instead, the economist's passing provided an occasion for a retelling of the official storey of how his brand of radical capitalism became government orthodoxy in almost every corner of the globe. It is a fairy-tale version of history, scrubbed clean of all the violence and coercion so intimately entwined with this crusade, and it represents the single most successful propaganda coup of the past three decades. The story goes something like this.
Friedman devoted his life to fighting a peaceful battle of ideas against those who believed that governments had a responsibility to intervene in the market to soften its sharp edges. He believed history 'got off on the wrong track' when politicians began listening to John Maynard Keynes, intellectual architect of the New Deal andthe modern welfare state. The market crash of 1929 had created an overwhelming consensus that laissez-faire, when Communism conquered the East, the welfare state was embraced by the West and economic nationalism took root in the postcolonial South, Friedman and his mentor, Friedrich Hayek, patiently protected the flame of a pure version of capitalism, untarnished by Keynesian attempts to pool collective wealth to build more just societies.
'The major error, in my opinion,' Friedman wrote in a letter to Pinochet in 1975, was 'to believe that it is possible to do good with other people's money.' Few listened; most people kept insisting that their governments could and should do good. Friedman was dismissively described in Time in 1969 'as a pixie or a pest,' and revered as a prophet

illegal in Russia - to Syria and rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
According to Igor Strelkov, a former intelligence officer who was a commander of pro-Putin clandestine military operations in Ukraine, said the number of Russians killed in bloody clashes recently could be as high as 600.
Dead: Stanislav Matveyev, 38, was also reported killed in Syria
'It is clear that there are hundreds of dead and injured, several hundreds,' he said.
'But the latest figure looks too extreme, it's allegedly over 600.'
He claimed he was told by Russian private army sources in Syria that by Saturday, 644 had been killed, but he could not verify the figure.
Pictures of a handful of the mercenaries who perished in Syria in the past week have emerged.
One was Cossack fighter Vladimir Loginov, 51, from Kaliningrad, a fatherof two who formerly worked for the Russian Interior Ministry, who died in a U.S.-led coalition airstrike on February 7.
He fell 'heroically defending our Motherland in its far reaches from crazy savages', according to the Baltic Cossack Union in Kaliningrad.
Other mercenaries killed were Stanislav Matveyev, 38, and Igor Kosoturov, 45, from Asbest, Alexey Ladygin, 26, from Ryazan and Kirill Ananyev, 33, also with the same private military unit.
Several of the mercenaries killed were reportedly employed by a shadowy private army called Wagner, which has close ties to the Russian defence ministry and whose leader has met Putin.
Wagner - or Vagner - is the nickname of an ex-Russian special forces officer called Dmitry Utkin, who runs the private army.
Utkin is reported to be the ex-commander of the famous Pskov

Such 'deniable' forces enabled Russia to deploy in Crimea, other areas of Ukraine and Syria, while denying its soldiers were on the ground.
Accusations: Putin has been accused by opposition politician Grigory Yavlinsky, pictured together, of lying about the government's ties to the mercenary armies
The funding for the secret army is believed to come from Russia's military budget.
A military analyst said: 'Russia is putting these mercenary forces in harm's way on the ground, while the regular army and Air Force are not at the frontline.
Russian media said the Russian private contractors were part of pro-government forces that advanced on oil fieldsin the eastern Deir el-Zour province and were targeted by the United States.
The reports cited activists who confirmed that at least four Russian citizens were killed in Syria last Wednesday.
US JET DESTROYS RUSSIAN-MADE TANK IN SYRIA A US jet has destroyed a Russian-made T-72 tank during a bombing raid designed to protect rebel fighters in Syria, it has emerged. The tank was targeted near Al Tabiyeh on Saturday in a bid to stop it firing towards a position held by American forces and their Syrian allies, according to a Pentagon spokesman. The tank had been 'maneuvering with coordinated indirect fire' on a position held by Syrian Democratic Forces - a US backed rebel movement that has been battling ISIS.

during the brutal civil war in Syria, Russia has been backing forces loyal to dictator Bashar al-Assad operating nearby. Advertisement
The U.S. military said last week it launched air and artillery strikes on Syrian government-backed troops after some 300 attackers launched what appeared to be a coordinated assault on Syrian opposition forces accompanied by U.S. advisers in the province of Deir el-Zour.
It said it was in regular communication with Russian counterparts before, during and after the attack, and Russian officials assured coalition officials they would not strike coalition forces.
It said the U.S. strikes, which reportedly killed about 100 of the attackers, were in self-defense.
The Russian Defense Ministry said 25 Syrian volunteers were wounded in the U.S. strike and insisted that its troops weren't involved in Wednesday's incident.
It said thatpro-government forces that advanced toward the area under control of the U.S.-supported forces had failed to coordinate their action with the Russian military in Syria.
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Thursday dismissed any suggestion that Russia had any control over the attacking force, whose nationalities, motives and makeup he could not identify.
The U.S. strike came as U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces were vying for control of the oil-rich Deir el-Zour province with Russian-backed Syrian troops that are reinforced by Iranian-supported militias.
The Russian and the U.S. militaries have maintained regular communications to avoid collisions on the chaotic Syrian battlefield.

Wagner army chiefs and Putin at a Kremlin ceremony
If the death of Russian private contractors is confirmed, it could further strain ties between the two countries that have plummeted to the lowest levels since the Cold War over the Ukrainian conflict, the war in Syria and the alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
Without mentioning the U.S. strike, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted on Tuesday that 'Americans have taken dangerous unilateral steps.'
'Those steps look increasingly as part of efforts to create a quasi-state on a large part of Syrian territory - from the eastern bank of the Euphrates River all the way to the border with Iraq,' he said.
The state Tass news agency on Tuesday cited Natalya Krylova, a municipal lawmaker in the town ofAsbestos in the Urals, as saying local residents Igor Kosoturov and Stanislav Matveyev were killed in Syria Wednesday.
The Interfax news agency said that the Cossack group in the westernmost Kalningrad region said a member named Vladimir Loginov was killed in combat in the province of Deir el-Zour.
Putin's friend: Dmitry 'Wagner' Utkin, circled, is pictured at the reception dinner at the ceremony in Kremlin
It also quoted Alexander Averin, leader of extreme leftist group Another Russia, as saying that one of its activists, Kirill Ananyev, was killed by the U.S. strike near Khusham.
Liberal politician Grigory Yavlinsky, who is running for president in Russia's March 18 presidential election, urged Putin to come into the open regarding the deaths of Russians in Syria, saying that official silence on the subject was 'unacceptable.'

many Russian citizens were killed, officials, including the commander-in-chief, must tell the nation about it and determine who is responsible for that,' he said.
Russia has waged a military campaign in Syria since September 2015, helping Syrian President Bashar Assad's government seize large chunks of territory and turn the tide of war into its favor.
Russian media have reported that in addition to Russian servicemen deployed to Syria, thousands of Russians also fought there as private contractors, allowing the Kremlin to keep the official death toll from its campaign in Syria low and avoid the negative public response.
The Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry have refused to comment on media reports on Russian private contractors in Syria.
Restoration
The long abandoned ruin of Mingary Castle has been painstakingly renovated by a team of highly-skilled craftsmen, who have made good the crumbling stonework, long lost roofs and floors buried deep in undergrowth. The following excerpts, documenting the progress, are taken from a blog by Jon Haylett, who lives in the local village of Kilchoan.

A First Visit
It was a beautiful day yesterday for a first visit to historic Mingary Castle, where the huge task of conserving and restoring the castle has just begun. Months of detailed study has already been done, mainly in surveying the castle and researching its history. The latter is particularly important because, although the building is going to be conserved so that its main structure will be available for future generations to

sight in this morning's bright sunshine.
Projecting to the right, the north in this picture, are three loading levels which are now served by an electric pulley system, enabling heavy loads to be raised. The only thing that's missing are the access stairs, in a tower which will be bolted on to the outside.

A Turning Point
Winter has arrived. Last night the wind swung into the north and brought in frequent hail showers. By this morning, the wind had dropped but light flurries of snow were drifting out of a grey sky. But, with the snow comes excellent news from builder John-Paul Ashley. While his men are still working on cleaning and stabilising the stonework on both the north range and the battlements, his stonemason has started pointingin the main range.
Pointing, for those who are as ignorant as I, is pushing mortar in between the stones to replace the mortar that's been eroded away through the ages. This is a turning point for Mingary Castle because it signals that the process of rebuilding this great monument has begun.
Great care has been taken to keep as many of the individual blocks of stone in their original position as possible, but many of them are very precarious. A good example is this huge stone lintel which stands over one of the fireplaces in the north range. It was okay at the nearer end, but at the far end it was teetering on a few pieces of rock. It's now stable.

the work on site at Mingary Castle has been surveying, stabilising the bedrock, mapping and recording, archaeological investigations and excavations, and cleaning and preparing the walls. Now a corner has been turned as, for the first time, the builders start on the rebuilding of the structure.
This is not an easy site to work on. Although drainage has now been hugely improved - the moat, as it was designed to, flooded regularly - getting the concrete down into it has been a major undertaking.

700-Year Old Graffiti Found in Chapel
Some graffiti has been found scratched into the plastered walls of the chapel. And this isn't any old graffiti. Archaeologist Tom Addyman reckons it was put there when the chapel was first built within the three metre thick northwhich the new roof will go on. To do this, the chimneys and their flues will have to be installed. With the roof on, work can continue apace in the interior.

Progress in the North Range
We've enjoyed some fine weather recently but the wind is in the north today, bringing a fine drizzle and colder-than-normal temperatures. What the weather's going to do next is of considerable importance as, within the next ten days, the builders need to take off the temporary roof on the north range. It's done great service through the winter, but the end gables and interior structural walls which will carry the new roof need to rise above the temporary roof line.
Meanwhile, work on the chimneys continues. In one of the interior structural walls,
