the vertical divisions between the chimneys can be seen - they're called mid-feathers. This wall has almost reached the point where the stonemasons can't build it any higher until the temporary roof is off. Loading... 26 June 2014 Attic Rooms Take Shape Progress in the castle continues to be rapid. On the north range, the wooden roof plates, the timbers which run along the tops of the stone walls to take the roof are in position, while the floor joist supports, which will carry the wooden floors of the attic level, are being fixed in place. The attic itself appears quite a small space, but will be one of the best areas of the house as it will have dormer windows which look out over the battlements and across the Sound ofthe walkway which will run round the battlements, and which will be topped with whinstone flags. Residents will be able to walk from the attic room right round the battlements. Inside the north range, the scaffolding has largely been dropped. This shows the wall plates which are going in the support the joists for the first floor, with more timber being carefully manoeuvred in through one of the lancet windows. From this level, scaffolding will be built up to enable the joists to go in on the remaining floors. 9 July 2014 Progress on Every Level Once again, a huge amount has been achieved since my last visit. Stonemason Damien, working on the interior gable, has cut through the roof timbers and is completing the chimney. The first studwork has gone in at the

west end of the second floor. Builder Mark Rutherford Thompson told me today that some 43 tonnes of wood have been brought in to build the roof and the three floor levels, every bit of it carried in by hand. At the east end, work has continued on the gable end, where a chimney has to be built up. Meanwhile, on the first floor Nick is laying the plywood floor which will carry an insulated floor that will house the underfloor heating. At the rate they're progressing, they'll need the plumbers and electricians in soon to do their first fix. On the ground floor, the old door between the main, west room and the back of the stairwell has been reopened. 4 September 2014 The Windows Go In Over the last week the Georgian-stylewindows have been going in to the north range. Whichever way you look at the courtyard-facing side of the building, the windows are very smart indeed. The whole building seems to have come back to life and will look superb once the slates have gone onto the roof - the slaters are due in the next week or so. 27 September 2014 Progress in the Chapel Deep inside the north curtain wall, the builders have been steadily working away in the chapel area. The transformation has been remarkable. When I first entered the room, water was dripping from the ceiling and, despite the steel props everywhere, it felt as if, at any moment, the whole roof would collapse on us. No such fears today! Reinforced concrete lintels, held in place by lengths of steel

of the main areas of development has been along the battlements. As with most castles, when Mingary Castle was under siege, the main defence came from the tops of the walls - the battlements - which consisted of a walkway protected by an outer wall. This wall had crenellations - higher parts, the merlons, separated by lower sections, the embrasures. The problem with the tops of Mingary's walls at the time rebuilding started was that they were ragged from loss of stone. Every piece of rock, and all the mortar, has had to be carried up manually. One of the builders estimated that there was sixty tonnes of it in all. The full effect won't be visible until the outer scaffolding comes down. 3 November 2014 Coping Stones on the Battlements A couple ofgo however. The windows have a couple of layers of paint to go on them, which will be a slightly lighter shade of grey, there is some leadwork to be completed, and the York stone cappings on the gable ends are still being worked on. There's a chill wind blowing today so I popped into the north range to warm up, which took all of two minutes as the place is like an oven, so the walls are now drying out nicely. Even the chapel, which was very damp when I last saw it, is making progress. Meanwhile, in the courtyard, work is underway on the west range. This part of the project has been delayed by a problem with the supply of York stone, and some of the blocks

have long ago learnt to make good use of fine weather, so there's been plenty of progress on the exterior. The two chimneys on the west range have had to be raised a couple of feet and the pointing round the paving stones of the battlement walkway has been completed. The lead is like a work of art, with neat welds and sections of rubber between the sheets to take up any expansion. Once the Chandlers are finished, the walkway will be paved with York stone slabs to match those around the battlements. The leadwork specialists are here to build the lead gutter on the walkway around the roof of the north range. The lead is like a work of art, with neat welds and sections of rubber between theright temperature, for it to store a few bottles - so it's to be the castle's wine cellar. 14 May 2015 The Pace Increases There's just so much going on at the moment. The first of the panelling in the sitting room has been fitted, and, although some of the sections have yet to arrive, the room looks superb. The plaster ceiling is completed between the wooden beams, which will be hidden under oak panelling covers. The Caithness stone floor is down in the kitchen, and plastering complete in here as well. In fact, everywhere one goes in the north range one sees evidence of the plasterers' handiwork. I finally caught up with the plasterers working in what was the chapel, now to be a pair of bathrooms, where they were applying the top coat.

It's been a bit of a tricky job working in here as, along much of the walls, the plaster has had to go on top of a waterproof layer that looks like bubblewrap. Next week the pace hots up even more. As well as the scaffolders and the arrival of the panelling for the study and dining room, the breakfast room windows will be fitted, the plumbers are back, and the balustrade all round the inside of the battlement walkway will be fitted. 29 May 2015 Out of the Chrysalis Looking from the ferry terminal one can see that, on the south side, the scaffolding is right down to sea level, and people waiting for the ferry can now see the attic rooms of the north range, with their four dormer windows,protruding above the level of the battlements. It's like a magnificent butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, a 700-year old castle returned to its pre-mediaeval grandeur after all the years of battle against the weather, human neglect, wars and sieges, collapsing foundations, pounding waves, burrowing animals and invasive vegetation. If what's going on outside was exciting, there are some gems beginning to appear within the buildings. The steps in the intramural passageway, built within the original massive stone walls, run down from just outside the chapel to the first floor level. The white plaster here is superbly contrasted against the dark Caithness stone flags. Laying the flags is an intricate job as there are no straight lines, and it's complicated by there being electric heating under the stone. The interior of the

the finished work lasts for centuries. In the attic bathroom, the stone floor has been laid, the marble surround to the bath fitted, the marble shelves built, and all the marble walls tiles completed, all ready for the plumber to come in next week. 20 August 2015 The Courtyard Transformed Over the last few weeks a transformation has been taking place within the castle. It's part of what is so exciting about the concept behind the refurbishment of this magnificent 13th century Scottish building - that the bare, formidable exterior which, other than the crenelated battlements and the protruding chimneys, is little changed from how it would have looked 700 years ago gives way on the interior to an 18th century dwelling, a place of which a contemporary country laird would havebeen comfortable in and proud of. So the walls of the three buildings have been harled, and the effect as one walks into the courtyard is magical. The place is lighter, and there's a softness which contrasts with the bare rock interiors of the great curtain walls which rise above the buildings. 27 August 2015 Four Posters Installed There were big changes visible to the approach to the castle, with the layout of the gardens at the front of the castle beginning to take shape and the base for the access road almost completed. The scaffolding is now down throughout the courtyard so the full impact of the harling can be appreciated. All the lead hoppers and downpipes are in place, another feature which is a statement both of pride in the work

that has been completed on this building in 2015 and of the intention that it will last for many years to come. While work continues on the oak panelling in the north range, two sandstone fireplaces have now been fitted, this one in the sitting room. On the left, ready to go in to it, is a multi-fuel stove. A sign that the project is nearing completion is the arrival of some of the beds. Three four-posters are now in place, having been carried up into their rooms and assembled. 24 September 2015 Hanging Structures The difficult task of hanging the chandelier in the breakfast room was completed while I was away. The difficulty arose partly from the ceiling being sloping but mainly because of the weight of the cast iron, which meantthe builders had to dig through the plasterwork ceiling to find a secure anchor point. Also very busy have been the two electricians, who have just turned on the lights for the first time in the west wing. 8 October 2015 Skills Traditional and Modern Materials for Mingary's latest metamorphosis are arriving all the time. This morning saw the delivery of the the bannisters on the main staircase in the north range, every piece made of solid oak and are very heavy to carry. Traditional skills are being blended with the very latest technology. In one of the bedrooms on the second floor of the north range, specialists are about to install a cabinet under a Mediaeval lancet window to house all the switches for the internet, TV, telephone, data and other cabling.

would expect from the suppliers, a very old, family-run hardware firm, established in 1899. The maze of wires and pipes associated with the electrical side, the alarm system, and the fire breather system all now come neatly into a little cupboard under the stairs. Another trade was hard at work in the main room in the west range. Sandra Jeffrey, who is responsible for all the crewel-work curtains and hangings, has about three weeks work remaining. She's seen here working on one of the hangings for the four-poster in the second bedroom in the north range. It'll be a couple of months or so before the castle opens for its first guests but the main build, after almost three challenging years, really is approaching completion. 4 February 2016 Almost There…. Holly and Chris Bull,the castle's managers, will be starting to move furniture into the three ranges early next week, after the builders have spent the weekend on the final small jobs and tidying up. Some major things will be completed later, like the sea wall, the drawbridge, and the lift in the dungeon/cellar, but the impression one gets as one walks around is that the rooms in the main, north range are almost ready for occupation. In fact they aren't, with the first letting scheduled for mid-May, because there is still a huge amount to be done. About half of the curtains have been measured and hung, but all except those in the west range, in which the builders have finished work, have been taken down again and re-wrapped in polythene because

choice. He started by quoting movie lines from The Notebook and he asked her to take a drive with him and he even put on a love soundtrack that she made him. Then he processed to pressure her and said he wanted her to be his first, which later the rumors were he already was having sex with another girl. That guy was a baiter! I especially liked how she stated the warning signs and the red flags she should have seen from the guy. She shared how she came to know Christ and how he forgave for her decision. This part of her story could vastly assist young girls in learning from the effects of making small compromises and the lines some guys will use on our girls. I would recommend this outstanding book to any young girlsformer Victoria's Secret Runway Angel. At 19, she beat out 10,000 other girls to win a modeling contract with Victoria's Secret, but upon achieving her lifelong dream, she realized she could not reconcile her work with her Christian beliefs, so in December 2011, she quit modeling for Victoria's Secret and dedicated herself to being a role model for young girls - her message being the importance of dressing modestly, honoring your body, and that true beauty lies within. Power in the Blood, is a book written to guide readers into digging into the Word of God and understanding our royal inheritance. God has given Sandie Freed a vision and dream about assisting people in breaking strongholds in their lives. The second part of the vision was teaching people the power of their royal inheritance because they belong to Christ.

A family of Honduran caravan migrants have been pictured passing their children over barbed wire fences along the Mexican border in a desperate bid to cross into the US. A little boy, wrapped in a red puffer jacket, was hoisted above his father's head and handed to his mother before being lowered to another member on the ground below during the dangerous maneuver. After successfully clearing the fence and entering American soil, the family then made a run for it. It's not known if they made it to the US or not.

York. RAPID DIETARY HABIT CHANGES IN JAPAN ==================================== Until about 150 years ago, Japan was officially sealed off from the outside world. Most Japanese individuals had no contact with Western people or Western dietary habits, and ate traditional Japanese foods. After the end of the Edo era in 1868, the new Japanese government opened the country to Westerners and began diplomatic and cultural contract with many Western countries. Concurrently, the Japanese government promoted a Western lifestyle, including Western diets, housing, clothes, and culture. However, only a small proportion of Japanese people, known as the favored classes, could afford Western foods, while the vast majority continued to eat frugal Japanese foods for an additional 100 years. A typical Japanese diet at that time was a simple vegetarian meal composed of unthreshed riceand a circuit for forming a voltage proportional to the output voltage by averaging the voltage at the first connection point. Still further, the switching power supply apparatus in accordance with the present invention may comprise: the first series circuit of the first switching means and the second switching means repeatedly turning ON/OFF alternately and connected in series at the first connection point, the second series circuit of the third switching means and the fourth switching means repeatedly turning ON/OFF alternately and connected in series at the second connection point, the transformer having the primary winding connected between the first connection point and the second connection point, the rectangular wave voltage applying means for applying the rectangular wave voltage to the primary winding of the transformer, a smoothing circuit for smoothing rectangular wave voltages induced

Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol in Belfast this summer Two members of Snow Patrol are to open a new Mexican restaurant in south Belfast, it can be revealed. Lead singer Gary Lightbody and guitarist Nathan Connolly will be involved in the project that will see Belfast Taco Cartel operate on the Ormeau Road. The restaurant is yet to set an official opening date, but a source did confirm to the Belfast Telegraph that the project was going ahead, providing planning permission and licences are granted. Permission to allow the sale of alcohol on the premises will go before the County Court on Friday. A public notice has been put in the window of the proposed location ahead of the court appearance. The two rock stars, who come back home to Northern Ireland this weekendfor two massive concerts at the SSE Arena, will work with four other directors including one of the country's top chefs. Andy Rea from the popular Mourne Seafood Bar restaurant and Home in Belfast city centre is on board. Mr Rea worked in America before returning to the province. Joe Goudie is the general manager at La Taqueria on Castle Street. It specialises in Mexican cuisine and has built up a positive reputation since opening a couple of years ago.

when the ship was in brackish water, they were inaccurate for seawater. 6 The following day divers surveyed the situation underwater. The vessel's bow and stern hung over deep water so that the TYPHOON could navigate up to and alongside her. Later that day a salvage officer, Captain Hopman, flew in from Holland to take command of the salvage operation. Upon boarding the stranded vessel, Captain Hopman observed the considerable effect of the strong tidal currents. Moreover, the spring tide which intensified those currents was to peak in only four days, on August 18. Unpredictable weather capable of sudden deterioration greatly concerned Captain Hopman. He suggested that the vessel be ballasted down so that she would hold her present position. As a furtherprecaution he decided to lay out beaching gear from the stern of the PIONEER COMMANDER. In this way she could swing freely and avoid a rock formation on her starboard side, if she came afloat. 7 Further calculations indicated that the vessel was held fast about three feet below her mean average draft and that she would have to be lightened to achieve flotation. On the 15th a sounding survey was carried out aft of the ship in order to establish the best route by which she could be refloated. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the TYPHOON to pull the vessel off the strand. The beaching gear was rigged using the PIONEER COMMANDER's spare anchor which was moved to her stern and then taken on

board the salvage tug. This work was not completed until August 17. 8 Because of the possibility of an oil spill, the tanker MARE SILENTIUM, which had been chartered for the purpose of emptying the PIONEER COMMANDER's bunkers, came alongside the casualty on the afternoon of August 17. During a nighttime pumping operation, the MARE SILENTIUM's bridge and forecastle were damaged when powerful waves, induced by the ever-increasing current caused her to roll against the PIONEER COMMANDER. The pumping operation was soon discontinued as the sea grew steadily rougher. In disengaging from the stranded vessel, the tanker sustained further damage by again rolling into the PIONEER COMMANDER. 9 On August 18 the spring tide peaked. Shocks were felt running through the vessel and a slight change inher heading occurred. These vibrations continued until the tide ebbed. Owing to the heavy damage sustained the previous day, the master of the MARE SILENTIUM agreed to resume defueling only after Wijsmuller promised to indemnify her owners for any damage not covered by insurance. Because the mooring ropes and bunker hose parted, defueling could not begin, and again the TYPHOON had to tow the tanker to safety. 10 A decision had been made previously to attempt refloatation on August 19. To this end deballasting had begun on the 16th. The deballasting process was painfully slow because the fuel which was being removed to lighten the ship was unheated and, therefore, viscous. Only 310 tons of fuel had been removed when weather conditions halted the

defueling operation. 11 At 0150 hours on August 20 a substantial vibration shook the PIONEER COMMANDER, altering her heading 20 degrees to starboard. When this occurred the PIONEER COMMANDER was ballasted down, but the TYPHOON was not secured to her and the beaching gear was not tensioned. As the change in the heading became more pronounced, Captain Scott had Captain Hopman awakened. The beaching gear was immediately tensioned and the TYPHOON came alongside the PIONEER COMMANDER. A line was passed and pulling commenced at 0235 hours. The beaching gear was engaged in conjunction with the PIONEER COMMANDER's capstan, and the vessel's engines were started simultaneously. Just short of an hour later the PIONEER COMMANDER floated free. The fast release hook of the beachinggear supplied by Wijsmuller jammed; the line had to be cut and the anchor was lost. The main engines of the casualty, which had been running full astern, were immediately stopped. The TYPHOON then towed the PIONEER COMMANDER into deep water and escorted it to Scapa Flow. 12 On August 23, again escorted by the TYPHOON, the PIONEER COMMANDER sailed for Newcastle, England. During the passage the TYPHOON, which accompanied the vessel at the request of United States Line, Inc., provided no further assistance. On August 24 the salvage services were completed upon the issuance of a Certificate of Delivery. 13 Pursuant to the salvage agreement entered into between Wijsmuller and the master of the PIONEER COMMANDER, an arbitration was held in London.

Brotherhood leader While Arab countries barred supporters of the Islamist movement from holding events honoring Mohammed Mahdi Akef, jailed in Egypt for his involvement in killing of protesters in 2012, public ceremonies were held in only three places: Turkey, Gaza... and Israel. A religious ceremony in memory of former Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Mahdi Akef was held in Umm al-Fahm on Saturday. The Muslim Brotherhood is a patron of both Hamas and the outlawed northern branch of the Islamic Movement. Akef was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted, along with the rest of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, for his involvement in the killing of demonstrators outside the organization's offices in Cairo during the wave of mass protests against the regime of Mohamed Morsi in 2012.

single day and night of misfortune'. Over the centuries, scholars have attempted to locate the real Atlantis - believing the account was based on a real ancient superpower. One of the most plausible theories is that Plato was describing the Minoan civilisation on Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini which was devastated by a massive volcanic eruption around 1600BC. Some believe the Atlantis myth was inspired by the Black Sea floods of around 5000BC - an event that may have also generated the flood stories which appeared in the Old Testament. Professor Richard Freund of the University of Hartford, Connecticut, who led the international team, said: 'This is the power of tsunamis. 'It is just so hard to understand that it can wipe out 60 miles inland, and that's pretty much whatwe're talking about.' The team used a satellite photo of a suspected submerged city to find the site then surveyed it with a combination of deep-ground radar, digital mapping, and underwater technology. Buried in the vast marshlands of the Dona Ana Park they found a strange series of 'memorial cities,' built in Atlantis' image by the refugees who fled the destructive tsunami. Atlantis residents who did not die built new cities inland, claimed Freund. The team's findings were unveiled yesterday in Finding Atlantis, a new National Geographic Channel special. Freund said the 'twist' of finding the memorial cities makes him confident Atlantis was buried in the mud flats. He said: 'We found something that no one else has ever seen before, which gives it a layer of credibility, especially for archaeology, that makes a

lot more sense.' Greek philosopher Plato wrote about Atlantis some 2,600 years ago, describing it as 'an island situated in front of the straits called the Pillars of Hercules.' These pillars were known as the Straits of Gibraltar in bygone times.Using Plato's detailed account of Atlantis as a map, searches have focused on the Mediterranean and Atlantic as the best possible sites for the city. Freund says tsunamis in the region have been documented for centuries with one of the largest reported in November 1755 hitting Lisbon with a 10-story tidal wave. Debate about whether Atlantis truly existed has lasted for thousands of years. Plato's 'dialogues' from around 360 B.C. are the only known historical sources of information about the iconic city. Plato said the island he called Atlantis 'in a single dayand night... disappeared into the depths of the sea.' Experts plan further excavations at the site where they believe Atlantis is and at the mysterious 'cities' in central Spain 150 miles away to more closely study geological formations and to date artefacts. Atlantis has been 'discovered' many times in the past. In 1997, Russian scientists claimed to have found it 100 miles off Land's End. Three years later, a ruined town was found under 300ft of water off the north coast of Turkey in the Black Sea. An American architect used sonar in 2004 to reveal man-made walls a mile deep in the Mediterranean between Cyprus and Syria. In 2007, Swedish researchers claimed the city lay on the Dogger Bank in the North Sea, which was submerged in the Bronze Age. And as recently as

performed by the odontocete middle ear needs to be reversed to perform an opposite match from water to the cochlea. In this paper, we discuss anatomical adaptations of dolphins: a lower jaw collecting sound, thus replacing the terrestrial outer ear pinna, and a thin and large tympanic bone plate replacing the tympanic membrane of terrestrial mammals. The paper describes the lower jaw anatomy and hypothetical middle ear mechanisms explaining both the high sensitivity and the converted acoustic impedance match.Gas phase reactors are commonly used for the polymerization of olefins such as ethylene and propylene as they allow relative high flexibility in polymer design and the use of various catalyst systems. A common gas phase reactor variant is the fluidized bed reactor. In polyolefin production, olefins are polymerized in the presence of a polymerization catalyst in an upwards moving gas stream. The fluidization gas is removed from the top of the reactor, cooled in a cooler, typically a heat exchanger, re-pressured and fed back into the bottom part of the reactor. The reactor typically contains a fluidized bed comprising the growing polymer particles containing the active catalyst located above a distribution plate separating the bottom and the middle zone of the reactor.

The question is whether CWC is liable to pay service tax on cargo handling services and if so, whether they can take credit of the tax paid on cargo handling services by the H&T contractor. Similar situations may exist in respect of other storage and warehouse keepers. It is clarified that if the storage and warehouse keeper undertakes cargo handling services also and raises its own bill to the customer for such service, then he would be liable to pay service tax under the category of cargo handling services also. However, he would-be eligible to take credit of service tax paid on cargo handling services rendered by the H&Tcontractors and adjust the same against his service tax liability on cargo handling services provided he raises awithout any rigid structure supporting the sail. The mission was a full success, demonstrating telemetry, propulsion, navigation, and attitude control for a solar sail. Over the following years, NASA and the Planetary Society launched their own solar sails into Earth orbit for further testing demonstration of the technology, but IKAROS remained more significant as the first interplanetary solar sail. Once in space, craft employing solar sails do not have to carry any additional fuel, greatly reducing the amount of weight necessary for interplanetary missions. These sails may soon realize their potential as an inexpensive and efficient means of exploring the Solar System. Pages Spacecraft Update As of February 2018...

As early as the 1950's the resident population of the Village began to decline steadily. The population in 1952 was 1,449 residents. This number gradually and unceasingly decreased each year. In 1977 resident population was 625, and in 1981 only 420 persons resided there under the State's care. Due to the State's financial deficits, DSHS was forced to reduce its expenditures in 1980.

instead, it was a replacement engine. The original engines were sold by Pratt & Whitney to Beech and were incorporated into Beech 99's here in Wichita. The Beech 99 that crashed, giving rise to this lawsuit, had been manufactured in Wichita. The component engine had, however, been added to the plane at a later time as a replacement, and as stated earlier, had never been sold to Beech and had never been in the State of Kansas. Since the engine that failed had not been sold to Beech in Kansas, defendant strongly contends that plaintiffs' causes of action did not arise from defendant's transaction of business in Kansas. The crash of the Beech 99 occurred in France. That fact, however, is not dispositive as to statutory jurisdiction. The Kansasshown by affidavit and by evidence establish that defendant sent agents into Kansas to solicit sales of the PT6 engine. As a result of those solicitations Beech incorporated the PT6 engine into the design of the Beech 99 aircraft. The agents of Pratt & Whitney of Canada aided in incorporating the engine into the design of the plane and in certifying the Beech 99 for use with the PT6 engine. The Beech 99 was certified for use only with the PT6 engine. Thus, when a replacement engine was necessary, it was inevitable that only another PT6 engine could serve as such replacement. The evidence further indicates that the alleged defect in the PT6 engine is one common to the PT6 line of engines, and not one that was unique

the suspicious activity was reportedly spotted is just over a mile away from SpaceX's launchpad, and has a clear line of sight to it, according to The Washington Post. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that ULA, which is co-owned by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, has a history of competition with SpaceX. Up until 2014, ULA had a monopoly on US government security contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and was the only launch provider certified by the Air Force.

By By Kesavan Unnikrishnan Nov 14, 2015 in World Pakistan has overtaken Saudi Arabia in the number of executions as more than 300 people have been put to death in 2015 alone, with another 8,000 prisoners on death row. The dramatic rise in executions has left behind Saudi Arabia which executed 151 people till November 2015, highest since 1995. Pakistan now ranks No. 3 in 2015, after China and Iran for executing people. According to Amnesty International, Pakistan has more than 8,000 prisoners on death row, most of whom have exhausted the appeals process. Supporters of the capital punishment in Pakistan claim that it is the only effective way to the deal with the rise of terrorist groups in the country. However, critics Maya Pastakia, a Pakistan campaignerfor Amnesty International The government is touting executions as the way of tackling the country's law and order problems. But there is no compelling evidence that the death penalty will act as particular deterrent over and above any other form of punishment. A suicide bomber won't be deterred by the death penalty. Often the accused in the initial stages will be given a state appointed lawyer who is often poorly trained and lacks competence. As per Pakistani law, 27 crimes carry the death sentence in Pakistan, including terrorism, rape, adultery and blasphemy.

THREAT: Torpedoes A portion remains of the North Korean torpedo believed to have sunk the South Korean warship ROKS Cheonan in 2010. Photo credit: Getty Images No aircraft carrier has ever been hit by a modern torpedo of any sort, so we lack good evidence on how resilient a 90,000-ton ship might be to this kind of attack. The Navy tested a variety of underwater attack mechanisms against the retired Kitty Hawk-class carrier USS America in 2005, but the exact nature of the tests, and their results, remains confidential. Advertisement In World War II, submarines sank a total of eight fleet carriers from Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom,beginning with HMS Courageous in 1939. And during the Cold War, the Navy identified Soviet nuclear submarines as a critical problem for carrier battle groups. As evidence from exercises indicates, submarines continue to pose a threat to aircraft carriers. To kill a carrier, a submarine needs to avoid escorts and patrol aircraft by either remaining stationary and waiting for a carrier to happen along, or by approaching a carrier quietly. In the open sea the latter is a difficult task, as carriers move at roughly the same speed as modern subs. Navies closely guard the effective ranges of standard homing torpedoes, but most sources agree on 35 to 40 miles at maximum. Modern torpedoes explode underneath a ship in order to break its back and cause extensive, fatal flooding.

fourth match without victory made for a despondent atmosphere among the home fans at the Aviva Stadium. Wilson eases Wales' worries Wales comprehensively outplayed the Republic in Cardiff a month ago, but four key protagonists in that 4-1 victory - scorers Bale and Ramsey, man of the match Ethan Ampadu and Chris Mepham - were unavailable in Dublin. Bale and Ramsey's absence was particularly noteworthy, as this was the first time Wales had played a competitive fixture without their two leading players since Ramsey's debut in 2008. Giggs' response was bold, handing first starts to teenage Leeds striker Tyler Roberts and 18-year-old midfielder Matt Smith, on loan at Dutch side Twente from Manchester City. There was a scare for Smith after just nine minutes, as he was dispossessed on the edge of thearea by Cyrus Christie, but the Irishman's low shot was well saved by Wayne Hennessey. Scoring makes everything better, says Wales match-winner Harry Wilson That was as exciting as the first half got. Whereas Wales dazzled last month, they laboured at a walking pace here. That left Roberts isolated up front, while those in attacking midfield positions - David Brooks, Wilson and Lawrence - worked hard but struggled to impose themselves on the game. That was until the 58th minute when Wilson - who scored a spectacular long-range free-kick for Derby at Manchester United last month - struck in front of the jubilant Wales fans. The noisy travelling contingent would have had further reason to celebrate had Lawrence and Chester done better with their promising chances, but victory now sets up an intriguing match

Ziaur Rahman transformed himself from a useful pace bowler to a batsman who was considered good enough for international cricket. The change happened five years into his first-class career, when a knee injury forced Ziaur into reshaping his career, though he still bowls decent medium pace from a shortened run-up. Born in Bedbunia village in Khulna Division, Ziaur's career began in the local leagues in his region. He soon made it to Dhaka where he played for a few years as a pace bowler before breaking into Bangladesh Under-19 team, and then the Khulna divisional team in the National Cricket League. Even in his early days, batting aggressively came naturally to him. But it was always on the backburner, something of shock value rather than regularly useful in the lower-order.In his debut season, Ziaur picked up 18 wickets before bagging a haul of 30 in the 2005-06. His performance for Khulna and in the Dhaka Premier League over the next two years was noticed, and he was one of those touring in Bangladesh's team for the 2007 World Twenty20. He didn't get a game but continued to do well back home when he took 38 wickets in the 2008-09 season. At that point, he suffered the injury to his right knee which required surgery as well as a long rest. The changes in his physicality meant that bowling fast was out of the question. His cricket career was on the line, but he got a second chance, as a batsman in the Dhaka league. Ziaur the batsman took his

extended into a suture. Dr. McCormick opined that a fall from a bed would not have caused the fracture and brain injuries similar to Doe's, even if she had hit her head on a wooden bed frame. Dr. McCormick believed Doe's injuries were of the type he would expect to see in an unrestrained infant involved in a car accident or from a fall out of a second or third story building onto concrete. In Dr. McCormick's opinion, Doe's injuries were likely inflicted and not accidental. Dr. Christina Stanley, a forensic pathologist and neuropathologist, examined Doe's preserved brain. She testified that the location of the subdural hemorrhaging suggested went limp and stopped breathing. Moore began administering CPR as he called 911 and Morales. Moore never mentioned to Morales, the paramedics or law enforcement that Doe had fallen. At trial, Moore admitted staging the bed with blankets to make himself look better. Dr. Ronald Gabriel, a pediatrician and neurologist, prepared a report for the defense stating that Doe had suffered a skull fracture. Similar to Dr. Massi, Dr. Gabriel testified that a three- or four-month-old infant could suffer a parietal skull fracture from a fall of one to two feet from a bed onto the floor. With respect to Doe, Dr. Gabriel opined that Doe could have suffered a parietal skull fracture falling from a bed and hitting a hard railing during the fall. At trial, Dr. Gabriel changed

Based on Dr. Massi's preliminary hearing testimony, defense counsel did not provide Dr. Gabriel with all of the CT scans and instructed him to not spend time on the skull fracture because defense counsel believed Dr. Massi had conceded that the skull fracture could have resulted from a short fall. During trial, defense counsel believed that Dr. Massi testified for the first time that Doe's fracture was inconsistent with a fall from a bed because it extended into the temporal bone. During an extended trial recess, defense counsel gave Dr. Gabriel a 3D CT image of Doe's skull that counsel possessed, but previously had not provided to Dr. Gabriel, and asked him to determine whether the skull fracture extended into the temporal bone. The following day, Dr.The trial court allowed Dr. Gabriel to testify as to why his opinion regarding the skull fracture changed, that he had consulted with Dr. Collins and that Dr. Collins was a distinguished radiologist. The trial court explained, under the circumstances, it fashioned its ruling to protect Moore's due process rights. B. Analysis Moore asserts the trial court erred in determining that the defense had violated the discovery rules and claims the trial court abused its discretion imposing any sanction. He argues the late discovery resulted from the defense's reliance on Dr. Massi's preliminary hearing testimony and the prosecution's pretrial representation that it had no additional statements to disclose. Moore asserts the trial court missed the point regarding the significance of the change in Dr. Massi's opinion between the preliminary hearing and trial.

The march through the forest had been a frustrating one for Qrow, who was so much more accustomed to just soaring over the treetops without a care in the world. Every new ache in his feet made his soul cry out to feel the wind between his feathers, to see the world rolling beneath him as he took to the sky. Being in the dirt also impacted his sense of direction, having grown too reliant on the ability tosee from a bird's eye view, being landlocked was disorienting. He wasn't even sure what direction they were heading in.

already either in Heaven, or Hell, it followeth that there be some Soules of dead men, what are neither in Heaven, nor in Hell; and therefore they must bee in some third place, which must be Purgatory. And thus with hard straining, hee has wrested those places to the proofe of a Purgatory; whereas it is manifest, that the ceremonies of Mourning, and Fasting, when they are used for the death of men, whose life was not profitable to the Mourners, they are used for honours sake to their persons; and when tis done for the death of them by whose life the Mourners had benefit, it proceeds from their particular dammage: And so David honoured Saul, and Abner, with his Fasting; and in the death of his owne child, recomforted himselfe, by receiving his ordinary food.

If therefore a Pastor lawfully called to teach and direct others, or any other, of whose knowledge there is a great opinion, doe externall honor to an Idol for fear; unlesse he make his feare, and unwillingnesse to it, as evident as the worship; he Scandalizeth his Brother, by seeming to approve Idolatry. For his Brother, arguing from the action of his teacher, or of him whose knowledge he esteemeth great, concludes it to bee lawfull in it selfe. And this Scandall, is Sin, and a Scandall given.

a shipwreck, and others were sold off, making a fuller reconstruction of his life difficult. Because of all that was said against him, and because he was, and is, admittedly, hard to know, attempting a fair assessment of Aaron Burr is a demanding task. Many of the lies and exaggerations that obscure the real Burr focus on his relationship to Alexander Hamilton. Historians have been too trusting of Hamilton's portrait of Burr, discounting his partisan motives in blackening Burr's name. Only half of that story has been told. Hamilton, an extremely motivated political thinker, was also a master of backroom politics. He was known for his poison-tipped pen, viciously attacking anyone he believed stood in the way of his political dominance. When it came to his sense of Burras a competent rival, first in New York politics and later in presidential politics, Hamilton overreacted. He systematically sought, over a period of many years, to ruin Burr's chances through insults, slights, and writing campaigns. The great irony is that Hamilton routinely accused Burr of lacking a moral compass, when no evidence exists that the self-possessed Burr ever insulted Hamilton. The essential problem in Americans' understanding of the Burr-Hamilton relationship is that it has only been described to them in personal, pathological, or sexual terms. The relationship has been removed from politics, where it rightly belongs. To put it succinctly, it was not any issue relating to moral character, but Hamilton's aggressive style of politics that led to his duel with Burr. At the dueling ground itself, Hamilton gave

rape in the second degree and indecent liberties upon Michelle Brune. The two victims are his natural daughters. The crimes were alleged to have taken place between June 1, 1982 and June 15, 1983, at which time Michelle was 11 and 12 and Leonora was 10 and 11. The initial trial date was October 4, 1983. Brune failed to appear. He was later apprehended on a bench warrant, and on April 15, 1984, a new trial date was set for June 13, 1984. On that date, Brune's counsel was in trial. The expiration date under CrR 3.3 was June 25, 1984. On June 13, 1984, Brune moved to discharge his counsel, Scott Reiman, for a variety of reasons stated on the record, *356 including Brune's belief that there had been collusionWe find the basic requirements of a voluntary and knowing waiver have been met in this case. The colloquy regarding waiver of counsel, which commenced on June 13, 1984, was preceded by Brune's failure to appear for a trial date and his being arrested and confined in jail. On June 13, he was advised by the motions judge that he should not try to represent himself because it was not in his best interest to do so. He also heard an experienced attorney tell the court a substitute attorney would need 4 weeks to prepare for trial. From the record, it appears that Brune's next appearance in court was before the trial judge on June 21, when he was arraigned on the amended information on which he was tried

activists made was to ban discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation. Governor Shapp was powerless to do that on behalf of the entire Commonwealth without the state legislature passing legislation. He knew that would be an impossible fight. As governor, however, he did have administrative control over policies in state government. On April 23, 1975, Governor Shapp made history, by issuing the following landmark executive order: In furtherance of my commitment to provide leadership in the effort to obtain equal rights for all persons in Pennsylvania, I am committing this administration to work towards ending discrimination against persons solely because of their affectional or sexual preference. Terry Dellmuth, my Special Assistant for Human Services, and Barry Kohn, Directory, Community Advocate Unit, Pennsylvania Department of Justice, are herebyassigned to review and monitor this effort. They will work with state agencies and private groups to further define the problem and make recommendations for further action. State departments and agencies are instructed to fully cooperated within the effort to end this type of discrimination. With the single stroke of a pen, Governor Shapp signed the first anti-discrimination order for sexual minorities in the nation. No other state or governor had taken such a bold move for gay and lesbian equal rights. On February 12, 1976, Governor Shapp formalized the task force by issuing another executive order creating the Pennsylvania Council for Sexual Minorities. He ordered each department to appoint a top official to be member of the council along with 18 gay and lesbian activists that he would appoint. The

this consideration turned out to be fundamentally faulty. With the radial supply of the working medium from the rotating supply channels into the impeller, which is common in the prior art, a spin is generated during the radial leaving of the supply channel, in particular due to the Coriolis acceleration, and is formed radially to the inside against the direction of rotation during a flow when viewed from the relative, rotating system. This spin changes the characteristics of the supply flow, in particular the velocity triangles, significantly, so there was no way how dimensioning according to conventional methods could have been successful. According to the invention, however, the working medium is guided out of the supply channels transporting the working medium in the axial direction. Advantageously, this resultsthe impeller, it is advantageous for the impeller to have an impeller shaft, in particular one that is rotatable parallel to the rotational axis of the rotor and that is connected to a motor or a generator. According to this, the impeller may be connected to a motor in order to generate a relative movement between the rotor and the impeller. In this design, the impeller is arranged in a heat pump operating state for maintaining the circular guiding of the working medium. On the other hand, the impeller may be connected to a generator in order to convert the shaft power present on the impeller shaft into electrical energy using the relative movement of the impeller.

not be able to find La Grange on the map today. It was in the far northeast corner of Lucas county. Tradition has it that my father's father, John McEldowney had been a postmaster at the stage stop at La Grange. John was born in Omagh, Ireland and had three families, one after the other. My father was the youngest child. John was born either in 1782 or 1792, we can't be sure which. That meant that he was born in the 18th century, my father was born in the 19th century, and I was born in the 20th century. John died in 1870 when my father was only two years old. That left his mother a widow. A year or so later she married a man by the name of James Scott. They lived in Fayette, Iowa in the northernpart of the state. James Scott was not a good father. He did not want his boys to have an education. He kept my father from school to tend the sheep. Father often told me how lonely it was as he sat on the hill watching the sheep day after day. A few weeks in the winter he could attend school but he did not have shoes so when the ground was frozen, he said he could see his trail across the snow by little red marks. He bound gunny sack cloth on his feet but when he stepped on a sharp frozen bit of earth it would cut through the cloth and cut his feet. Nor did his stepfather want him to learn to play a musical instrument. My father had gotten a violin somehow, but he had

to practice in the barn where his stepfather wouldn't hear him. One night his stepfather heard him and came into the barn, grabbed the violin and smashed it against the side of the barn. When my father was in his early twenties he attended a Methodist revival service and became a Christian. Within a short time he felt called of God to became a preacher to share the Good News of the Gospel. He saved what money he could and in 1894, when he was 26, he walked most of the way to Indianola, Iowa, to Simpson College. He told them he wanted a college education, He was shocked when they said he would have to attend their Academy four year before he could enter college. It would take him eight years to get a college education. In the meantime hisstepfather died and he had to take care of his mother. She came and lived with him. To earn money he bought a cow, named Daisy, and sold milk to students and to homes. He always said that cow put him through college. He was 32 years old when he graduated with a B. A. degree in 1900. He applied to the Methodist Church and became a minister. He wanted to be a home missionary. One of his first churches was at White Rock, S. D. in the far northeast corner of the state. One of his churches was in South Dakota, one in Minnesota, and one in Iowa. White Rock, too, has largely disappeared as a town. A couple of years later he began preaching at Henry, S. D. He was a very sincere preacher so very soon

he held revival services out in the country. One night when he was driving home after service, the team of horses got lost and he ended up in what had been a lake bed. It was pitch dark. He used his powerful preacher voice and called out for help. Finally he saw a light far off on the bank of the dry lake bed. He drove to it, and from there he was able to get home. For those revival services he needed someone to play the organ. His very good friends, Rev. and Mrs. Hyde, knew of a person who would be just right. They wrote her. She lived in Chariton, Iowa. She came and in time the two were married. Her name was Elizabeth Louise Clark. I was the third boy born to them. Robert was the first,as we played trios at social gatherings. My father became our scout master and what fun it was to go to scout camps. Morris was always making things. One summer he made a canoe, using barrel stays nailed to a central board and canvas for the outside. My father almost drowned when he insisted on trying it out in a bayou a mile outside town. His feet got stuck in the wood braces inside the canoe when it turned over and he was head down in the water until we rescued him. He wanted us to have all the fun we could with it so he found some old buggy wheels and an axle, put the canoe on it, and pulled the thing over to scout camp behind a car filled with boys.

far and that fast, the axles got hot, so we had to stop and grease them. Then it was time for college. My father had always been so grateful for his education at Simpson he wanted all of us to go there. How could this country preacher send three boys and a girl to college? My brother Bob was two years ahead of Morris and me in school. Bob got scholarships and began studying music. When it came time to send Morris and me, Dad called us together. We knew he had no money for us but all of us boys had had jobs and had saved a little, hardly more than enough to buy college clothes. Then my father told us of the struggle he had had. It looked pretty dim, but not to my father. He was allMy father brought what things he could from the garden. Before long one or two boys who were having a hard time financially heard what we were doing and wanted to be included. They paid a little more than the food cost us and ate our simple meals. My father kept encouraging us when our cupboard was almost bare. We kept trying, and together we made it one year, then the second, then the third. In all we had three different wonderful fellows rooming with us, and as many as five coming for meals regularly. The three of us would find work in the community for weekends and we never had to stop. Robert had changed majors during his third year so he was in college five years. He finished a year earlier than Morris and I. He got a

teaching job and almost at once bought a Ford roadster. My father had an idea. He asked Morris and me to join him and the three of us were then assigned to preach at four churches on the North Indianola Circuit. He moved the family to Indianola and convinced Bob that he should let Morris and me use his Ford so we could get to our churches. Bob was good to let us have it. Morris would drop me off at North River Church and he went on to Spring Hill for Sunday morning services. My father had Carlyle and Palmyra. We were kept busy preparing sermons and keeping up with college classes, but the best of it was that during that senior year we also had in our home Anicito Cabildo, from the Philippines, Chang Wook Moon, fromKorea and Myron Muller from St. Charles, Iowa. Our father never hesitated if he could help someone get a college education. During my senior year my father offered his car so that Morris and I could go to a State Historical Conference in Iowa City. That was the farthest east I had ever been. Then at Christmas time there was to be a Student Volunteer meeting in Detroit. Father urged us to go. We raised some money to help on the trip, then we took Cabildo and two girls, Wilena Barker and Helen Richards. Mrs. Weeks went along as chaperon.

The five men, all from and the anti-Islam rally, were arrested on a range of including suspicion of assault, being drunk and disorderly and breaching the peace. Mr Galloway, MP for Bradford West, addressed the counter-protest: 'All right-thinking people in Britain condemn the idea of a German Nazi group coming to the north east of England trying to stir up trouble. 'The vast majority of British people respect that and the people who are on here on the counter-demonstration are representing millions. 'We have enough problems

of whether religiously or politically motivated'. It has also banned any neo-Nazi symbols and slogans at its rallies, however it was mired in scandal when its leader Lutz Bachmann was pictured posing as Adolf Hitler. He was forced to stand down as the group's leader after a furious backlash to the photograph, which he insisted was a joke. Pegida's leaders have singled out Muslim immigrants in their speeches, but the movement has broadened into one against immigrants from all backgrounds. A particular target has been 'economic refugees', or asylum seekers who they say are seeking a better standard of living in Germany.

put the car in reverse, Perelli threw a rock through her rear windshield. The rock was approximately the size of a baseball and shattered the windshield, spraying glass throughout the vehicle. Lang called the police, and Officer Brandon Stolley of the Hampden Township Police responded. The officer interviewed Perrelli, who denied throwing anything. It was not until several months later, after a preliminary hearing, that Perrelli called Officer Stolley to tell him that he had thrown the rock in self-defense. On May 13, 2013, Perrelli was convicted of the above-referenced offenses. The trial court sentenced Perrelli to an aggregate term of 1 to 5 Republican John Cox has secured a spot on the ballot to face Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom in the California gubernatorial election in November, boosted by a late endorsement from President Trump and voter discontent over liberal state policies. Fox News projects that Cox will advance to the general election in the race for governor, outpacing a former Democratic mayor for the No. 2 spot on the ballot. The state's jungle primary system allows the top two finishers to advance regardless of party. The result is disappointing for Democratic former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who was widely considered the most viable potential challenger to Newsom in November's general election in the extremely liberal state. Democrats' hopes of retaking Congress in November and mounting a national challenge to President Trump's agenda

advance to the November ballot, Fox News can project. Republican businessman Cox will face him. But Newsom is the clear favorite in November's statewide contest, given California's overwhelmingly liberal electorate. Some Democrats cried foul earlier this month after Newsom ran ads that reminded voters of Cox's connections with Trump and the NRA, saying the frontrunner was implicitly trying to rally conservatives to the polls to ensure Cox beat Villaraigosa for the second spot on the ballot. The House races One of the most hotly contested races is in the 48th Congressional District, which includes Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. Hillary Clinton narrowly won the district in 2016. Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has held the safe seat without serious challenge for decades, faces eight Democrats and fierce competition from GOP rival ScottBaugh. So many Democrats are running for the seat that none may end up getting the votes needed to appear on the ballot in November. WATCH: IS DANA ROHRABACHER BEING GROOMED AS A RUSSIAN AGENT? TUCKER TAKES ON LIBERAL HYSTERIA A similar situation might play out in California's 49th District, where a broad array of candidates is vying for the seat vacated by retiring GOP Rep. Darrell Issa. Eight Republican candidates are in the running, along with four Democrats who are neck-and-neck. The sheer number of entrants in the race could lock out either the GOP or the Democrats in November. Hillary Clinton also won here in 2016, by a margin of a little over seven points. Another closely watched race was the effort by four Democrats to unseat incumbent Republican Rep.

Walters in the 45th District in Orange County, which no Democrat has ever represented but that also supported Clinton in 2016. Walters voted to repeal ObamaCare, which has become a hot-button issue in the increasingly liberal district. On Tuesday, Walters easily advanced to the November election. The second spot remains up for grabs. Important GOP-held seats with incumbents facing challenges are the 50th District, where Rep. Duncan Hunter is under investigation for misuse of campaign funds; the 10th District held by Rep. Jeff Denham; the 21st District, where Hillary Clinton won convincingly, that is currently occupied by David Valadao; and the 25th District, where Rep. Steve Knight is facing several challengers. Ed Royce, who was first elected to Congress in 1992 and chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced hisretirement earlier this year. He will vacate his 39th District seat, and several Republican and Democratic candidates are competing to replace him. That setup, again, raises the possibility of one party being knocked entirely out of the November contest. The Senate race Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will place first in the jungle primary, Fox News projects, even though the California Democratic Party pointedly declined to endorse her in February. The majority of the votes from delegates at the party's annual convention went to State Sen. Kevin de Leon, Feinstein's progressive challenger who served as the former president pro tempore of the California Senate. Republican James P. Bradley, another hopeful in the primary, is not expected to make it to November's contest. At 84 years old, Feinstein is the oldest senator in the

He worked as chief of psychiatry for specialist services for a number of years and expanded services in specialist mental health in the region. He became a private consultant in developing varied models of mental and social health care services. Currently, he assists in the guidance and governance of intensive community care models and innovative community-based service models in the country. Why did you choose to get into psychiatry? In a way, I was born into the field. To this day, my late father is praised as being the founder of psychology in Pakistan and I was inspired by him. When it comes to psychiatry, I was interested in how medicine interacts with the human mind and brain to altergranted me access to more education. It was a huge leap to open the center and it was a success built out of such unfortunate circumstances. Then setting up the first department of psychiatry at the capital hospital in Islamabad. Setting up the British Pakistan psychiatrists association, now in its 21st year of success as a national professional association of psychiatrists, was another one. Setting up the British Pakistani Doctors Association was another of my initiatives in 2007. Creating and steering the joint association of all ethnic psychiatrists in the United Kingdom in 2004 was another of my initiatives that have been a great success, and the forerunner of the diaspora committee at the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

to enter her. I softly kissed on her back as I reached around to cup her breasts and slowly eased the head of my hard cock into her ass. Mel panted sharply as I entered her. I held it there for a moment continuing to caress her breasts. Mel then started to push back and I took it as my sign to push my stiff member all the way in. I then slowly withdrew until only the head remained inside of her, and then thrust into her deeply again. She moaned loudly each time I thrust into her tight butt, I reached around gently played with her sensitive clit. She started to meet my thrusts, as I eased one and then two fingers into her soft folds. Eventually Mel beganone of my fingers spread her lips and came into contact with her pulsing clit. It teased it with small, firm, circular strokes as I pressed myself more insistently against her. Suddenly Mel moved away, pulling me with her toward the rocks on one side. Mel sat on a smooth rock roughly at hip level, facing me, leaning back against another stone. Reaching up, I stroked my hands across her chest, teasing each nipple, then moving down her abdomen. I soon found her clit again, rubbing it gently yet firmly. I teased her for a while before slipping the head of my cock into her soft, hungry pussy. Mel wrapped her legs around my waist, trying to pull me in deeper as I started to fuck her. I reached down

of places to stop if you wanted. I bought a little ruck-sack bag from the hotel shop, we packed a couple of things and then set-off along the beach. The walk along the beach was very nice. We walked hand-in-hand with our feet in the edge of the water. It was a hot day but the cool breeze coming off the sea made it very pleasant. Mel was wearing her black thong bikini, at my request. She was attracting a lot of admiring looks as we walked past people, especially her tight ass looked particularly hot with only the thin string nestled between her cheeks. The beach was by no means crowded but about 30 minutes later we did pass a busy area and one group of about 10 blokes. Theyand guided her so that she was pressed forward against the palm tree. I quickly pulled her bikini bottoms to one side and slid a finger between her pussy lips feeling her juices running freely. I withdrew my finger and pressed my cock against her. I thrust inside in one movement, feeling the tightness of her pussy gripping my tool. Mel was so aroused that she immediately pushed back and urged me to fuck her hard. I had probably only given about 5 or 6 strokes when Mel gasped in orgasm. Her hands gripped the tree tightly as she shook in my hands. I continued to pound into her. My balls finally tightened and with a final thrust I shot my thick creamy cum into her. I collapsed forward against Mel and

Report: U.S. companies transferred funds to suspects in Dubai hit Saturday, 31 July 2010 10:14 Investigators in the United States probing the assassination of a senior Hamas official have drawn links between U.S. companies and suspects in the case, bringing them closer to identifying them, according to an American press report Saturday. The findings show U.S. authorities playing a great role in the probe than previously revealed, the Wall Street Journal reported. Mohammed al-Mabhouh, a senior Hamas official accused by Israel of planning a series of terror attacks and weapons transfers, was found dead in a Dubai hotel room on January 19. Dubai police have publicly accused Israel's Mossad spy agency of the hit, which sparked diplomatic outrage when it emerged that a group of suspects used forged passports of Israeli allies toenter the Gulf emirate. The U.S. companies identified by investigators include wed-based firms that pair freelance job-seekers with employers and transfer payments between them, the Journal said. Authorities have identified financial transfers from several intermediary businesses into prepaid, cash-card accounts used by suspects in the Dubai killing, according to international investigators.

which was based on the verdict of the jury. It is undisputed that after the tornado the appellant's building could have been repaired and replaced at a cost of from $2,500 to $3,000. The contractor, Mr. Thomas Darby, a wholly disinterested witness, went on top of the building and inspected the same after the tornado. Mr. Darby testified that he had just finished putting a new roof covering on top of the building the evening of the cyclone with the exception of one strip of roofing. He said that he went to the building the night of the tornado but his flashlight was dim and he could not tell much about the damage. He also returned the next day and looked over the whole building and observed only onehole in the roof. The numerous photographs which were introduced in evidence, made after the damage sued for, showed a distinct separation of the west wall of the appellant's building from the hotel building; but the photograph made by the U.S. Engineers after the tornado and before the damage sued for fails to show this separation, and Mr. Darby was unable to see the same until after the brick were dumped on the appellant's building. Mrs. Long testified positively that her building was not separated from the hotel after *676 the tornado but became separated as the brick from above were piled on her. The controlling opinion mentions the testimony of Lawrence Hennessey, a real estate expert, and at this point the majority have fallen into the same error

the brick removed which had been loosened by the force of the tornado. What the controlling opinion entirely ignores is the testimony of Mr. U.J. Little of Jackson, Director of the City Building Department, who went to Vicksburg on request of the Mayor of Jackson to offer the services of the City of Jackson in connection with their tornado damage and who later went back to Vicksburg on the request of the Mayor of Vicksburg. He said that the military personnel was stationed on the ground floor of the Vicksburg Hotel, and he said that one of the military personnel was Chief Aide to General Wilson and when Mr. Reed was having the brick thrown from the top of the hotel onto the appellant's building adjacent thereto Col.Wright issued an order for Mr. Reed to stop throwing the bricks off or he was going to put him in jail, and as soon as this information was communicated to Mr. Reed the dumping of the brick from the top of the hotel was stopped. As a matter of fact on the extreme south-east corner of the top of the hotel there was a bunch of brick which had been broken loose and it was these brick that the military had desired to have removed, and the sidewalk was walled off and that bunch of brick was pushed overboard, most of them falling onto the sidewalk, but there was never any order to dump all of the brick along the side of the hotel onto Mrs. Long's

to note that in the controlling opinion, on the value of real estate, there is quoted the testimony of Mrs. Long, but little is said about the damage to her personal property, some of which was completely destroyed by the dumping of the brick and concrete onto her building. Only a small portion of the valuable things itemized in the bill of particulars was removed by Mr. Darby to the appellant's garage. She made no effort to conceal any information as to what was removed to the garage and what was not, and there was no testimony whatsoever by the appellees which disputed her evidence. The valuable refrigerator, counter, and other fixtures were completely ruined by the appellees' act and not by the tornado. As to the productionof records by the plaintiff, she had nothing to conceal and produced her income tax reports but stated that all of her other records were destroyed in the tornado, but it is undisputed that she and her mother and daughter all made their living out of the restaurant. The appellant requested, and the lower court refused, an instruction which would have authorized the recovery of punitive damages, and the opinion says that this is not a proper case for punitive damages. The record shows that Mr. Reed took no precautions for protecting the building of Mrs. Long and he admitted that he just wantonly pushed off one hundred to one hundred and fifty brick, as well as some of the concrete, either from the coping or from a window

hotel and was leaning to the east. The proof showed without dispute that the front windows were blown out and the front wall pushed in; that the partition was blown out of place inside the building; and that the entire rear wall was blown out leaving the wall at the northeast corner cantered to the east. The jury had the benefit of photographs showing the damage to the roof after the tornado and before the appellees threw the bricks on the building. They also had photographs taken after the bricks were thrown on the building by appellees. There was proof that there were 800 to 1000 bricks blown loose from the wall of the hotel directly over the Long building during the tornado, and some stone, but itis not shown how many of these brick fell on the Long building. About 200 brick, one or more pieces of stone, and a window frame fell on the Long building when appellees pushed them off after the tornado. A number of witnesses testified *686 that there was no substantial damage done to the Long building by appellees in throwing the brick on the building. It is a fair appraisal of the testimony touching the damage to the building so say that while appellees did some damage thereto, the jury was justified in finding that the building was substantially destroyed by the tornado and that it was unrepairable before appellees threw the brick on it. As to the damage to the personal property in the building, the testimony for

Under the rule of the Articles of Confederation the country had no government to enforce order and this nearly led to anarchy.

When the UnitedStatesConstitution was ratified it created... ...State and Local Government What is Federalism? The UnitedStates has one of the most complicated forms of government in the world. With many levels and subdivisions, this form of government is called federalism. Within the UnitedStates, federalism is marked bya continuous change in the system of connections between the national, state, and local governments. At times, the different levels of government act independently and at other times, the levels became so entangled that it becomes impossible to tell apart the responsibilities of one from the other. Federalism is just one of the three main systems of power used by the UnitedStates. There are two ways, other than pure federalism, to organize power among national and regional governments. Pure federalism is also known as a federal system. In a federal system, the central and regional governments are divided in power and responsibilities, and the governments do not depend on each other for their power.

Raymond was a retired New York State Supreme Court Officer in Queens County, N.Y. He served with distinction in the United States Marine Corps and was a member of All Divisions of the Marine Corps League. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis Tustin; two sons, Joseph Tustin of Glen Head, N.Y. and William Tustin of Lower Makefield Township; two daughters, Laura Erdman of Bayside, N.Y. and Nancy Comuzzi of Garden City, N.Y.; and seven grandchildren, Joseph Tustin, Billy Tustin, Meghan and Jessica Erdman, Lindsey and Julia Ramos and Carly Comuzzi. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the FitzGerald-Sommer Funeral Home, 17 S. Delawarejury. The motion was allowed, and the plaintiffs appealed. 6 The principal issues involved in this appeal are a question of last clear chance and also whether the testimony of an expert witness in reconstructing the accident and estimating the speed of the defendant's automobile prior to the collision was competent and of sufficient probative value to raise an issue for the jury. 7 The salient facts developed in the evidence are as follows: 8 A collision occurred on August 5, 1957, at 4:00 o'clock p.m., on U.S. Highway No. 301, in Caroline County, Virginia, about three and one-half miles north of Hanover Courthouse, between a 1954 Plymouth Sedan owned and operated by the plaintiff, Lester E. Kale, accompanied by his wife and co-plaintiff, Ida M. Kale, and a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Sedan

owned and operated by the defendant, Martin F. Douthitt, acting within the scope of his employment as agent and employee of the defendant, Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America. 9 The highway at the point of collision runs in a north-south direction. It is 'rolling and hilly' and is straight for approximately twenty miles north and approximately one-quarter mile south. The highway was paved with asphalt 20 feet wide, with a broken white line down the center, separating the highway into two lanes 10 feet wide. The shoulders were constructed of small, loose gravel. The shoulder on the west was 12 feet 5 inches wide, and the shoulder on the east 11 feet 10 inches wide. On the east side of the road there was adirt embankment 5 feet 8 inches from the edge of the shoulder. The speed limit was 55 miles an hour. The weather was clear; the surface of the road was dry, and the sun was shining. 10 The plaintiffs were severely injured and both suffered loss of memory as a result thereof for a short period prior to the accident and for about three days thereafter, and neither had any recollection of the accident. 11 There were only two eye-witnesses: the defendant Douthitt, and Billy Dean Massie, and occupant of the defendant's automobile. The evidence disclosed that the defendant Douthitt was travelling south and the plaintiffs were travelling north. Near the point of collision the road slopes downward between the crests of two hills forming a valley of

41,046,865
sufficient depth that an automobile in the valley and an automobile 100 feet past the crest of the hill approaching from the north are not visible to the respective drivers. 12 As the defendant Douthitt, travelling on his proper side of the road, drove over the crest of the hill he saw the plaintiff's car 100 to 200 feet directly in front of him sliding sideways at an angle across the southbound lane in which he was travelling. The defendant immediately applied his brakes and pulled to the right, leaving skid marks 50 feet in length to the point of impact on the extreme righthand side of the defendant's lane of travel. There were no brake marks left by the plaintiff's car. Douthitt testified that shortly beforethe accident occurred he was driving between 45 and 55 miles per hour. The witness Massie testified that he was a passenger in the defendant's car, travelling between 45 and 55 miles an hour, and that when they came over the crest of the hill and first saw the plaintiff's automobile, it was travelling at a speed of 45 to 55 miles an hour, and was overtaking and passing another car proceeding northwardly. There was evidence that at the point of impact there is visibility for 500 feet. 13 Photographs and testimony tend to establish that the left front fender of the defendant's automobile struck the left front door of the plaintiff's automobile, with the damage extending along its left side. After the collision the defendant's car

came to rest in the southbound lane with the front headed northeast and the right corner of the bumper about 10 inches west of the center line. The plaintiff's car came to rest on the east shoulder, opposite defendant's automobile, with the front headed northwest and the rear end against the dirt embankment. There were no marks on the road indicating the path of the plaintiff's car after leaving the point of impact. Before the photographs were taken which were introduced in evidence, the defendant's automobile was moved backwards onto the west shoulder of the road. 14 The plaintiffs contend that their damages were proximately caused by the negligence of the defendants in the following respects: operating the automobile in a reckless manner and at an unlawfuldistance and time within which to avoid a collision. Although the law requires that the driver of a vehicle on the right side of the road, observing a vehicle approaching on the wrong side, shall exercise due care to avoid a collision, he has the right to assume that the driver of the approaching vehicle will obey the law and return to his side of the highway in time to avoid a collision.8 21 Applying the rules to which we have referred, it is apparent that the plaintiff Kale was guilty of negligence which proximately caused the collision. He undertook to overtake and pass another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, while in a valley or blind spot in the road and where he could neither see nor

be seen by oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance to complete the passing in safety. 22 Under such circumstances it was his duty, upon observing the defendant's oncoming automobile, to return to the right side of the highway and give to the defendant, as nearly as possible, at least one-half of the main-travelled portion of the roadway. 23 Plaintiffs contend that this is 'the classic case of a helpless plaintiff, stuck on the wrong side of the road, the reasonable inference being that he could not return to his side of the road until the car he was trying to pass had moved ahead'. He argues that 'until such car had moved ahead, his return to his own side of the road was blocked'. 24 The plaintiffs rely on Monday v. Clynes, 6offered as an expert witness Clarence S. Bruce, who testified that he is a 'traffic accident analyst'; that he worked in the automotive laboratory at the National Bureau of Standards for about thirty years, and is the author of the Table of Stopping Distances and Reaction Time used in many states, and that he had many years of experience in connection with the reconstruction of speeds and the causes of accidents. The witness examined the scene of the accident the day before the trial, approximately eighteen months after the accident. He also examined the photographs in evidence showing the highway, the skid marks and debris at the scene of the collision, and the damaged automobiles on opposite shoulders of the road. 29 On the basis of the photographs

The grand opening was a blowout gala in true Texas tradition. To the delight of onlookers, 15 head of live cattle were driven by 40 cowboys through the streets of Dallas to the plaza. There were also a huge barbecue, fireworks, a laser show, and various music and dancing groups. Although 70 steers were originally planned, after the initial installations of 40 longhorns between 1994 and 1996, funding and energy began to dwindle. Sixteen more longhorns have been cast and are soon to be installed; that will complete the piece with 56 rather than the original 70 longhorns. In 2000, in the paving on the sidewalks under the trees, 38 granite panels were installed that relate the history of cattle ranching and the history of Texas brands, along with36 of the 100-plus historic brands. In April of this year, a large granite medallion showing the map of the Texas cattle trails accompanied by a short explanatory text incised into the granite was installed in the pavement at the corner of Griffin and Young streets, overlooking the reflecting pool into which the stream empties. As soon as the last of the steers is in place, the work will be officially complete. By late spring 1993, Dallas landscape architectural firm Slaney-Santana and sculptor Robert Summers of nearby Glen Rose were selected to carry out the vision. The parking lot site, owned by the Dallas Convention Center, had been carved out of a hill, separated from the historic Pioneer Cemetery by an 18-foot-high retaining wall. An old railroad tunnel and

with the public and have come to be accepted with fondness within the Dallas community. Images from the work are featured in visitor and tourist information, and it is near the top of a list of 50 things to do in Dallas for free. Visitation rates have far exceeded original expectations. In fact, it is the second-most-visited tourist site in the city after Dealey Plaza. As a result, erosion has been an ongoing problem, as well as keeping any kind of grass alive, particularly near and among the steers. There is perhaps an unintended irony about the erosion at the feet of the cattle since, after all, erosion induced by excessive grazing pressure is a significant problem throughout the West. The popularity of the plaza was evident when Iis rewarded. Three construction workers ate their lunch under the trees and then drifted among the longhorns. A family from Mexico came through and stopped for a while, marveling, touching, and photographing. A local family slowly made their way along the longhorns, resting for a while on the stones under the trees before going up to the bluff top and then swinging back down to explore the falls and the stream. Couples wandered through; a father and son pair paused for pictures by The Trail Boss. Many of the visitors continued on past the sculpture into the Pioneer Cemetery and strolled among the old headstones. After several visits, I have come to believe that Pioneer Plaza is a good example of bioregional design and expression, both cultural and natural.

Players start by placing pixels on the board, where three pixels of the same colour are next to each other and they become a soldier, withleads to grinding as the slime requirements add up, artificially padding the game's length. As a free-to-play game, Ghostbusters employs some restrictions that could grate on players. Taking a call uses energy, which slowly replenishes over time. The energy requirement limits how much you can play at one time, which adds to the monotonous feeling of grinding for slime. The game also puts a paywall in the way of playing as any of the original characters, with free players only accessing three new recruit characters. The humour and highly-referential dialogue will definitely please Ghostbusters fans, and the teamwork between the three classes works well for the series. The free-to-play design elements may hold some players back from completing the game, but it is clear the developers have a lot of

four years of follow-up, she was hospitalized due to congestive heart failure and renal insufficiency. During hospitalization, the patient developed sepsis with positive blood culture for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and was treated with vancomycin and meropenem. One week later, she developed septic shock and chest x-ray showed acute widespread pulmonary infiltrate. Antimicrobials were changed to linezolid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. After four days, the blood culture isolated Staphylococcus aureus resistant to vancomycin, and she presented with erythematous cutaneous lesions involving her face, trunk, and limbs, with evolution in a few hours to diffuse hemorrhagic vesicles and blisters. Epidermal detachment was observed on 5% of the body surface area. Concomitantly, she had conjunctivitis, cheilitis, oral erosions, and hemorrhagic crust on the nasal mucosa. Vulva, vagina, and perianal erosions were also evidenced. TheThis coffee is from the locally-owned and family-run Dumerso washing station and dry mill. They also own one of the first speciality coffee shops called the Dumerso Cafe in Addis. There are many small holders in the surrounding area that contribute to the cherries they process. Situated in the Gedeo region, which extends south as a narrow strip of land along the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian Highlands, the warm tropical climate makes for an ideal landscape for coffee growing. Ethiopia is known for producing incredible coffee the world over. The main growing regions produce specific flavour profiles and this coffee demonstrates that perfectly.

and by the song of the many birds who revel in the natural abundance of the place, an hour spent in Le Garden Secret has all the benefits of several days in a health spa. Running your hands through the grasses, watching bees as they pollinate the purple and white flowers, and gazing as a gentle breeze alters the dappled reflection of tree leaves against vibrantly painted red and olive green walls, it is a truly stunning place. Being, by name, secret, it is also relatively quiet but no doubt that will not remain the case for long. For what better way to break away from the manic hive of activity of the Souks than to seek refuge in this perfect profundity of green in the heart of theMany vehicles utilize tires to move the vehicles along a road. Each tire is generally mounted to a rim to create a tire cavity containing air. As the tire rotates along the road, the tire moves over various rough surfaces which can deform or excite the tire to change the air pressure in the tire cavity. The change in air pressure in the tire cavity causes stationary sound waves inside the tire and vibrations in the wheel which can travel through the vehicle structure to create noise in the vehicle structure, and this noise can sometimes be heard by an occupant of a passenger compartment of the vehicle.

the head-scarves worn by Muslim women in many parts of the world. The exercise gave students a chance to learn about an unfamiliar culture and religion. But in a school community where no students and only one teacher outwardly practice Islam, wearing the scarves was a good way to draw curious looks, questions and a few unfriendly comments. Teacher Diana Mason and three students at Brighton who took part recently told Stateside about the experience. - John Klein Wilson, Michigan Radio NewsroomTuesday, April 27, 2010 City Council of Phoenix not to back Mayors plan to sue AZ Phoenix City council not likely to back Mayor Gordon in his bid to to sue the state of SB 1070.

the charges, the boy visited Summerlet's Willmar apartment with his brother. Once inside, they listened to music, and passed around a marijuana pipe. The boy smoked from the pipe. He told police that he had not been pressured into smoking marijuana. However, he said Summerlet then put what looked like meth into a smoking device and pressured him to smoke it. The boy gave in, though his brother reportedly told him not to, and took three hits of the substance, according to the criminal complaint. Summerlet reportedly threatened to hurt the boy if he told anyone who had given him the meth. Afterward, the boy could not breathe and had a headache and stomach ache.

The move defies the wishes of some American politicians, among them US President Donald Trump, who called for the Fed to keep rates where they were. The Federal Reserve lowered its forecast for future rate hikes. Wednesday's rate hike marked the fourth increase of 2018, and the ninth such move since Q4 2015, when the central bank started to unwind the easy-money policy known as quantitative easing, which effectively brought rates to near zero and kept them low during the recovery from the 2008 recession.

be used to predict successful completion of an online Associates of Applied Science. The research was conducted at an academic university located in the mountain west United States. Participants consisted of online and campus students enrolled in a Medical Laboratory Technician program that graduated with their Associate of Applied Science degree between the years 2007-2009. Results of these years were also compared to graduates from 2004-2006 in the same program. Certification performance and first time pass rates were the major outcomes measured. Age and experience were correlated. Online learning styles and GPA were also compared to successful degree completion. The researcher found no significant difference in certification performance with regard to total and categorical scores, and first time pass rates between campus and online MLT students.

First and second steering links are respectively connected, one to each of the pintle shafts on the hydraulic motors. When the steering wheel is selectively adjusted in a first direction, the pintle shaft on the first hydraulic motor is adjusted toward a first direction, wherein the power output to the first drive wheel is increased with respect to a forward direction of travel. At the same time, the pintle shaft on the second hydraulic motor is adjusted toward a second direction, wherein the power output of the drive wheel is decreased with respect to a forward direction of travel.

inertia wheel up to some selected rate of change in the velocity of rotation. When the selected rate of change in the velocity of rotation of the reel is exceeded, the rotational inertia of the inertia wheel causes it to lag behind the belt reel. The inertia wheel works in conjunction with a cam wheel that produces axial motion of either the cam wheel or the inertia wheel. The axially movable wheel of the mechanism has locking rachet teeth that engage corresponding complementary ratchet teeth on the side member of a frame of the retractor. A series of ratchet teeth around the circumference of the inertia wheel work with an inertia responsive device, such as a pawl operated by a movable mass that stops rotation of the inertiaI probably should have.

Definitely the highlight of the show. Rosalie Craig and Rebecca Trehearn gave the guys a run for their money, though.

In a flash while the vise grip, began to wear the nut out of shape, my hand and the strength of the nut's grip ,far stronger than its steel,I flashed back to a story.

to mention a sense of humor and playfulness that God must delight in as the Author and Finisher of stories like this one. Plato Center, Illinois and the Story of Miss Lydia Jean Stafney The story goes that Plato Center, along with other Midwestern towns with ancient honorifics, such as Homer, Cicero, or Vergil, used their names as drawing cards to entice school teachers from the East. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the plains were plowed in northern Illinois, farmers who had moved there needed someone to teach their children the ways of civilization, not merely reading, writing, and arithmetic. So they would build a schoolhouse and advertise back East. But who would want to leave Boston for the plains? Naming someplace Plato Center seemed tosoil was more fertile once, in some Golden Age of Grain. Today Plato Center is more a memory than a village. The railway shipping dock is weathered bare. The General Store is no longer operating, with its combination of post office and dry goods. But a few old homes remain, along with an old gas station and a new school catering to the local area, growing new homes where once fields were furrowed. Many farms remain. The cemetery is the place to go to see the history of the town. Walking past the tombstones you can date the immigrations of farmers and of merchants, as each tried their luck in turn, with names etched on the stones from successively different countries further east in Europe. Then there are

classes mixed together in one class of five or ten. Now, I grant you, it was a language no one spoke, unless you were a monk, but no one spoke any other foreign tongues in Batavia, except for Swedish and Norwegian, which weren't offered in the schools. French was also given, but girls mostly took it. German had once been taught, until World War I made teaching it subversive. So, there we were in Latin class, assuming everyone in college had to study Latin too. First of all, there were the Adams twins, Art and Andy Adams, students of astonishingly clever intellect. Art now teaches business at the University of Louisville, while Andy finally retired from teaching Latin at Miss Stafney's alma mater. Then, of course, there wasHonest Paul, who used to crib on his translations with notes inserted in the pages of his book. One day someone tripped him, as he was getting up in front of class to translate. He dropped his book, and the notes came flying out. Miss Stafney was mystified by his subsequent translation of an altogether different portion of the text, from a page he had hurredly retrieved. We called him Honest Paul thereafter. Since then he made amends and became a devoted social worker. Patty Roets became a clothing designer and Caryl Egerton a police dispatcher and rancher, Rodney Ross an archivist and Ron Leone a chemist. Pat Seaman got her Ph.D. from Texas.

Overall, this podcast was great and made me think about the education system and measures of intelligence which I never really considered. I listened to Mike Rose's discussion on the meaning of intelligence. Mike Rose is an author and a professor. He talks about how he didn't do so well in school and his childhood experience with education. His scores got mixed up with another student and he was put in a college prep class when he wasn't able to understand the basic things he was already supposed to learn. He addressed the issue of how IQ tests don't necessarily determine intelligence truly. He uses the example of his mother being a waitress. She is able to memorize the customers orders, know everything that is going on in theits students. Our daughter attended a remarkable 40-year-old alternative public middle and high school in a small college city. Admission is by lottery, weighted so as to achieve a rich balance of socio-economic status, race and culture, rural vs. urban origin, and so on. It takes a whole-child approach and focuses on building on and developing a child's assets and interests. My daughter was headed for college, but she has friends for whom that was not the right direction, and the school devoted as much energy and attention to a student who was drawn, for example, to technical, hands-on work in a trade. When a student's inclination not to go on to college is based on resignation or lack of confidence, a school community may be able to help

In the short 100-hour ground war, the vehicle mounted 82nd drove deep into Iraq and captured thousands of Iraqi soldiers and tons of equipment, weapons and ammunition. After the liberation of Kuwait, the 82nd began its redeployment back to Fort Bragg with most of the Division returning by the end of April. Following the Division's return and subsequent victory parades, the troopers began to re-establish some of the systems that had become dormant during their eight months in the desert. On top of the list was the regaining of individual and unit airborne proficiency and thecontinuation of tough and realistic training. In August 1992, the Division was alerted to deploy a task force to the hurricane-ravaged area of South Florida and provide humanitarian assistance following Hurricane Andrew. For more than 30 days, Division troopers provided food, shelter and medical attention to a grateful Florida population, instilling a sense of hope and renewed confidence in the military. On the 50th anniversary of the Operation MARKET-GARDEN, the 82nd again answered the nation's call and prepared to conduct a parachute assault in the Caribbean nation of Haiti to help restore democracy. With the troopers aboard aircraft heading towards the island, the defacto regime capitulated, and the Division was turned back to Fort Bragg. 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers were among the first ground troops sent into the war-torn Kosovo
