wanted Lee to be the guy taking over as signal caller.
The proud James never complained. He volunteered to play special teams. He remained a good teammate and captain even as the team moved on. Too often those who chirp about a lack of playing time get more attention rather than those who act as professionally as James did.
With nine years and credited with more than 1,000 tackles, the Cowboys got more than they could have expected from James when they took him in the fourth round of the 2003 draft.Story highlights Libyan militia says ISIS supported Manchester suicide bomber
After Syria and Iraq, the group may look to Libya as new base
Even as the so-called Islamic State has lost territory and men in Libya, it has maintained an underground network of cells in some of the most populous parts of the country. That network, according to security forces in the capital Tripoli, supported the Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi and his younger brother Hashim.
If the Manchester attack was planned in Libya, it would appear to be the first time an ISIS network has used the country to plot an attack in Europe. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack but provided no conclusive evidence it had directed Abedi.

theory. Freud never disclaimed his description of unconscious processing in dreaming, but he viewed it as a special instance and put it aside when he re-characterized the unconscious not as an area in which knowledge is processed, but as a place of conflict between instincts seeking discharge and the forces of repression that prevents instinctual derivatives, thoughts, feelings and fantasies from becoming conscious. The primary function of this revised unconscious was not the processing of knowledge but to prevent unacceptable impulses, wishes and fantasies from becoming conscious. In his introduction to his 1915 paper _The Unconscious,_ Freud states that everything that is repressed must remain unconscious, but he also noted that the unconscious has a wider compass, that the repressed is only part of the unconscious and doespatients referred to me because of panic attacks, my procedure was fundamentally the same. I first inquired in detail about their lives. Usually I started with an inquiry into the symptom: when it happened, what were the immediate circumstances preceding the panic attack, and what function the panic attack had in shifting their current lives. I would then look more closely at their general life situation. While each person's circumstances were unique, I found, to my surprise, that they all had something in common. Each patient had a life circumstance which I thought _should_ cause him or her to be very afraid. Each of them had consciously diminished the seriousness of what could for anyone be a fear-causing situation. In each case, I was able to tell the

3. The patient in Sharon Olds' poem feels empathy for her struggling doctor. I would suggest that empathy for the analyst is very often a highly significant aspect of therapeutic action. When a patient sees how hard we struggle to reach out, to find the right word or action, it can evoke in the patient the feeling of being profoundly cared about, as well as empathy for our baffled effort. But I believe that part of the meaning of that reaching out is that it is against a backdrop of comparative silence, the white canvas whose contrast helps colour come alive. In an analogy with Sharon Olds' poem, I ask, if it weren't for the analyst's general stillness would the times whenpassage, a pressure drop or partial vacuum is formed where the diameter of the passage narrows. The vacuum is vented through the vacuum passage while liquid in the storage tank is below the bottom end of the vent passage. When liquid rises to the level of the end of the vent passage, the pressure causes the latch to release and the valve to close off the passage.
There are, however, several drawbacks to devices such as taught by Podgers, et al. First, the valve must be reopened/reset manually after it is closed. In addition, the housing for this valve is generally not retrofittable to existing storage tank arrangements. Such valves must generally be installed permanently in the ground and secured to the riser pipe extending upwardly from the storage

thus ensuring that everyone would be working in their flow and performing at the very highest level for JOI clients.
Having such a properly balanced team also allows Pam & John to always live and work in their own flow.
A Lifetime Process
Their passion to enable people to get the most out of their business and lives spans over 30 years.
John became involved with the world of computing over 30 years ago when he realised how powerful it could be in enhancing peoples experience at work. He has built an international reputation as a consultant, mentor and writer in this field.
Pam was a qualified educator in Information Technology in the UK for many years. She then expanded her expertise into the area of business analysis and ran a business witha conductive foil and a braided sheath. The outer conductor is typically maintained at ground potential to shield the signal transmitted by the center conductor from stray noise, and to maintain continuous desired impedance over the signal path. The outer conductor is usually surrounded by a plastic cable jacket that electrically insulates, and mechanically protects, the outer conductor. Prior to installing a coaxial connector onto an end of the coaxial cable, the end of the coaxial cable is typically prepared by stripping off the end portion of the jacket to expose the end portion of the outer conductor. Similarly, it is common to strip off a portion of the dielectric to expose the end portion of the center conductor.

253,986,372 people have already found their pokemon! Pokemon was the brainchild of a Japanese man named Satoshi Tajiri, born August 28th, 1965. As a child, Tajiri was fascinated with insects, and loved to hunt and collect different species of them, as well as devise new methods to attract them.
Eventually, whilst Tajiri was in his early teens, most of the areas where Tajiri liked to hunt for bugs were replaced with modern establishments or demolished. No longer having the opportunity to collect insects, Tajiri created a fantasy in his mind about his adventures, his thoughts eventually evolving into a complicated idea. During the same time, Satoshi gained an interest in video games.
In 1982, Tajiri formed a magazine with a few of his friendsdedicated to video games. The name of this magazine was Game Freak. Over the years, Game Freak's focas changed from covering gaming news into creating games - they officially announced themselves as a video game developer in 1989, and released their first game, Mario & Yoshi, in 1991, for both the Game Boy and the NES.
They subsequantly released several other games, but in 1996 they struck gold - they, along with the help of Creatures and Nintendo, released Pocket Monsters Akai and Pocket Monsters Midori in Japan. The games were both a hit, with Akai doing best, and Nintendo decided to translate the games to English and release them in North America and Europe. Before this, they remade the games with the improved Pocket Monsters Blue, and thus

that the inner electric wire is not exposed once the tape has been adhered to the wire. Accordingly, as described above, the first die and the second die having the openings of about 90xc2x0 are arranged so that the respective openings are shifted by about 90xc2x0, and the third die having no opening is arranged as the final die. Thus, the tape can be positively adhered in a stepwise fashion on the outer periphery of the electric wire. Further, since the first die and the second die are provided with the openings by notching only an outer peripheral portion in the downstream side in the feeding direction, the electric wire and the tape are guided by the tapered hole having no notch at the upstream side and canbe positively guided to the tapered hole having the opening at the downstream side.
In particular, the tape is adhered on a portion of the periphery of the electric wire from a first end in the width direction by the passage through the first die, and the remaining portion including a second end is in a condition in which it is separated from the electric wire without being wrapped. Then, another portion not wrapping the electric wire is adhered to the electric wire leaving unwrapped the area of the second end, by the passage through the second die. The area of the second end is finally adhered by passage through the third die, overlapping the area of the first end which was previously adhered. The entire periphery of the

Many teachers reported using the training they received at Princeton to obtain additional support, either from their schools or through successful grant applications. For example, 63 percent said their schools purchased new equipment that allowed them to introduce to their classrooms experiments derived from their Princeton experiences.
The HHMI grant also will enable the University to continue hosting a nine-week summer research program for students selected from a nationwide pool of undergraduates attending small colleges with limited research resources.

On the northwest corner at Soudan, we come to the first project in this instalment, a proposed expansion to the Briton House retirement community at 700 Mount Pleasant. The 25-storey, Julian Jacobs Architects-designed addition was submitted to the City for rezoning in November 2017, and is currently under review.

Turning west on Soudan, a few doors along on the north side is where The Benvenuto Group's redevelopment proposal for 71 Redpath underwent significant changes in 2017. Previously proposed as 25 and 20-storey rental towers, the plan was scaled back in a resubmission for a single 24-storey tower rising from a three-storey podium, reaching a height of 78.75

The planned 27 and 34-storey condominium towers with heights of 83.8 and 108.15 metres were appealed to OMB in 2017, and the next hearing is scheduled to take place on the 20th of this month.

Heading north on Holly Street up to Eglinton, we turn east. Soon on the right, State Building Group's 55 Eglinton East was rejected by City Council before being appealed to the OMB in 2017. A settlement has since been reached for the Kirkor Architects-designed condominium tower, which is now planned to reach a 50-storey, 177.9-metre height. As part of the settlement, the newest version incorporates over 6,000 m² of office space, essentially matching the amount of office space in the existing 8-storey building that will bedemolished to make way for the project.

On the north side of Eglinton east of Dunfield, Madison Homes is planning to replace an existing 10-storey office building at 150 Eglinton East. Originally submitted for rezoning in 2015 as a 39-storey condominium tower designed by Quadrangle, the proposal was resubmitted in late 2017 with a series of changes. Now seeking a height of 46 storeys and 167 metres, the current plan would replace 100% of the existing office space on site, and include 429 condominium units.

Further to the west on Erskine, just shy of Yonge Street, KG Group's 18-30 Erskine Avenue was approved for rezoning at the OMB in 2016, and has since started construction. Excavation is now well underway for the 35-storey rental tower designed by Kirkor Architects, and work will be ongoing here throughout the year. Upon completion, the project will bring 315 new rental apartments to the neighbourhood.

Crossing Yonge Street, we continue west onto Roselawn Avenue. Past Duplex Avenue, UrbanQuest Inc. received approvals for their Rose Club project at 117-129 Roselawn last year, and the Drew Mandel Architect-designed project is currently in sales. Offering just 12 townhome units,the three-storey development has the potential to begin construction this year.

Following the primarily residential Roselawn Avenue roughly 1.75 kilometres to the west, we arrive at the intersection with Chaplin Crescent. Here, a 2015-approved proposal at 515 Chaplin Crescent was resubmitted for SPA in June 2017. The plan seeks to intensify a site occupied by two 8 storey residential apartment buildings with a new 13-storey Kirkor-designed addition to the south building. 18 existing rental units would be demolished and replaced in the addition, while an additional 69 rental units would be created.

application for ZBA and SPA has seen 2017 and 2018 resubmissions. Known as Beltline Townhomes, the project would introduce 5 three-storey freehold homes to the area, 12.5 metres high. The latest resubmission is currently under review by City staff.

Turning north onto Avenue Road, we continue a few hundred metres before reaching the Avenue Road and Eglinton intersection. Here, Avenue Crosstown Station will have two buildings; one at the intersection's northwest corner, and another on the north side of Eglinton, between Avenue and Oriole. Much of the work here is happening out of view of passersby, hidden by hoarding and largely below grade. Construction will continue throughout 2018, with the line due to open in 2021.

Immediately west of the station's main entrance at Avenue Road and Eglinton, Terranata Developments' plan for 346 Eglinton West has been appealed to the OMB. In conjunction with this appeal, a revised application was submitted in January 2018 which reduces the Rafael + Bigauskas Architects-designed proposal from 15 storeys to 10, and from 47.9 metres to 33.45. An OMB hearing to determine the next steps for the project is scheduled to commence on March 19th.

A block to the south on Yonge Street, construction of Rockport Group's Montgomery Square has topped out on the short block between Montgomery and Helendale Avenues. Cladding installation is now enclosing the 27-storey luxury rental tower designed by RAW, which rises above the preserved exterior of the heritage Postal Station K. Construction of the 233-unit residential tower is expected to continue well into late 2018, and possibly into the new year. It was recently announced that a Terronirestaurant and Cumbrae's butcher shop will move into the base.

In the next block to the south, Lifetime Developments and Knightstone Capital's Whitehaus Condominiums got underway in 2017 with the start of shoring activity for the 29-storey Diamond Schmitt Architects-designed tower. The latest photos of the site, captured at the end of January, show that excavation of the project's five-level underground garage is in progress. Construction for Whitehaus will continue through 2018 and on into next year.

Across Yonge Street on the east side, Mattamy Homes and the Biddington Group are gearing up for the construction of their J. Davis House development at 1985 Yonge. The most recent photos captured at the site of the 9-storey Graziani + Corazza Architects-designed condo development show that demolition of existing buildings was in full swing as of December 2017. Construction of the new mid-rise development will proceed throughout 2018.

Just south of the J. Davis House site, an assembly of properties at 1951 Yonge owned by Times Group Corporation was the subject of a March 2017 application seeking OPA and ZBA to permit 25 and34-storey residential towers designed by Core Architects. Wrapping around the heritage 1894-built Davisville General Store and Post Office building, the project aims to introduce 450 residential units plus a new on-site park to the property. Toronto and East York Community Council have directed City Planning not to bring forward a Final Report for the project until the completion of an ongoing study called Midtown in Focus: Growth, Built Form and Infrastructure Review.

to Yonge, we head south several blocks, passing Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Just north of the Yonge and St. Clair intersection, a pair of proposals have been dormant for quite a while. These include a 13-storey rental building proposed at 7 Heath Street East, and a 2009 OMB-approved proposal at 1481-1501 Yonge for three towers of 15, 16, and 37 storeys. The latter plan is in flux, as owner Wittington continues to expand their land assembly. Following a 2015 purchase, the plan now includes 1507 Yonge, which was previously the site of a standalone proposal for a 7-storey retail and office building proposed. The assembly has also since been expanded with the 2016 purchase of 1521 Yonge, and the 2018 purchase of 1525 Yonge.
On the west side of YongeStreet, big news came early last year when it was announced that Chicago-based architects Studio Gang would be designing a new purpose-built rental tower for Slate Asset Management at the corner of Yonge and Delisle. No applications have yet been submitted to the City, though Studio Gang's portfolio of existing and planned projects indicates that whatever is proposed here will be quite the eye catcher. This is one of many projects in the area being led by Slate, part of the company's larger revitalization of the Yonge-St Clair area.

Quadrangle-designed project from Aspen Ridge Homes got its start in late 2016 when the CHUM building was demolished. In the roughly one and a half years since, shoring and excavation have been completed, and forming has since moved past the underground garage and on to the ground floor. Construction here will continue throughout 2018. Upon completion, The Jack will rise 11 storeys and contain 109 condominium units.

Just east of Yonge Street and The Jack, we come to another Tower-in-the-Park site slated for intensification. In late 2016, bclMC and Bentall Kennedy submitted a proposalat 44 Jackes Avenue seeking ZBA and SPA to build a 29-storey rental building next to the site's existing 29-storey rental building. The Hariri Pontarini Architects-designed proposalknown as the Rosehill Tower has been appealed to the OMB, with a hearing scheduled for May 2018. In the meantime, a revised plan was resubmitted to the City in February 2018, with a height of 102.64 metres and a reduced unit count of 251.

Returning to Yonge Street, we continue southbound another few blocks before reaching the corner of Yonge and Shaftesbury. At the south side of the intersection, steps from Summerhill Station, tenants have begun to move into the re-clad and renovated 1133 Yonge Street. The project from Old Stonehenge Development Corporation appears complete when viewed from the north on Yonge, though work continues on the south side of the Studio JCI-designed project.

Abstract Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of the disease plague, has been implicated in three historical pandemics. These include the third pandemic of the 19th and 20th centuries, during which plague was spread around the world, and the second pandemic of the 14th–17th centuries, which included the infamous epidemic known as the Black Death. Previous studies have confirmed that Y. pestis caused these two more recent pandemics. However, a highly spirited debate still continues as to whether Y. pestis caused the so-called Justinianic Plague of the 6th–8th centuries AD. By analyzing ancient DNA in two independent ancient DNA laboratories, we confirmed unambiguously the presence of Y. pestis DNA in human skeletal remains from an Early Medieval cemetery. In addition, we narrowed the phylogenetic position of the responsible straindown to major branch 0 on the Y. pestis phylogeny, specifically between nodes N03 and N05. Our findings confirm that Y. pestis was responsible for the Justinianic Plague, which should end the controversy regarding the etiology of this pandemic. The first genotype of a Y. pestis strain that caused the Late Antique plague provides important information about the history of the plague bacillus and suggests that the first pandemic also originated in Asia, similar to the other two plague pandemics.
Author Summary Plague is a notorious and fatal human disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that is endemic in many countries around the world. Three of the most devastating pandemics in human history have been associated with plague. The second pandemic originated in central Asia and peaked in

First and second tool support beams extend laterally of the main frame and carry implements such as seed planters, chisel plows or the like. The inboard ends of the tool support beams in the illustrated embodiment are located adjacent each other in the use position, and the axes of these beams are collinear and extend transverse of the direction of travel of the vehicle.
A pair of side frame members connects the tool support beams respectively to the outboard ends of the cross frame member of the main framefor pivotal motion about respective vertical axes. Preferably, the cross frame member of the main frame is located at a higher elevation than the tool support beams. Thus, these side frame members just mentioned extend from the tool support beams upwardly and rearwardly to the outboard ends of the cross frame member. The tool support beams may be folded with their outboard ends being pivoted rearwardly about the connection of the side frame member to the cross frame member.

changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans.In 1968, new legislation changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent, however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans. Therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date.
On Veterans day we need to take just a minute and say thanks to our Veterans. They have given so much for us. Some served because they had too, while others served out of a sense of duty, either way the impacted America by their service. During peace time and in times of war, our service men and women stood ready to do our nations bidding. They stand vigilantly on the wall of America to ensureWet lust.

WVBT would apply fifty percent of the proceeds to the debt, and deposit the remaining fifty percent balance of the customer's check into Guildcrest's operations checking account.
8
WVBT ultimately agreed to provide a variety of additional financial assistance to Guildcrest throughout 1987 and 1988, which included increasing the already-existing line of credit, and also included making loans directly to Kim, Ryan and Marquess personally, and each was individually responsible for the total amount of the new loans. At this same time WVBT's security interest was reaffirmed with the extension of the additional credit, and the lock box arrangement was continued, and would in fact continue throughout Guildcrest's existence. An official from WVBT testified that, absent the personal written guarantees of Kim, Ryan and Marquess, the bank wouldnot have been willing to renew Guildcrest's line of credit nor extend credit to any of the owners individually.
9
Despite WVBT's continuous advances to Guildcrest, the company continued to struggle financially throughout the latter part of 1989, thus causing the owners to discuss the possibility of liquidating the company. To that end, Kim, Ryan and Marquess met with representatives of WVBT on November 16, 1989, for the purpose of proposing a liquidation plan, and to seek an additional $20,000 from WVBT in order that they might be able to purchase supplies for completion of the work on inventory, which would in turn be sold at liquidation. WVBT ultimately approved the proposed liquidation plan and agreed to extend the latest $20,000 to Guildcrest, on the condition that each

of the owners again agree to sign a promissory note assuming joint and several liability for the full $20,000. The liquidation plan was put into effect in December of 1989, but was not entirely successful, as not all of the furniture was completed. Guildcrest filed for bankruptcy in April 1990, and ceased operations in February 1991.
10
Beginning in 1989, Guildcrest failed to pay the federal income and social security taxes withheld from its employees' wages for certain specific taxable periods; namely all four quarters of 1989, the first and second quarters of 1990, as well as the first quarter of 1991. Instead, the company applied these funds to payment of the company's operating expenses. Kim testified that he became aware of the problem whenhe was initially informed about the company's withholding tax problem in September 1989, when Ryan informed him by phone of the shortfall of a few thousand dollars. Kim stated that he first became aware of the magnitude of the shortfall at the November 16, 1989 meeting in which the liquidation plan was proposed to WVBT, and at this time the company's unpaid tax liability exceeded $70,000. Kim finally testified that, as payment of the back taxes was a part of the proposed liquidation plan, and Ryan had prepared the plan, he believed that the taxes would be paid as the plan was executed.
11
The $70,000 in unpaid withholding taxes were not paid as the liquidation plan was executed after the November 1989 meeting; indeed, unpaid withholding

would be 11 kilometres-long. It would be designed with the potential to install a hydroelectric plant. The reservoir would have a storage capacity of 2,700 million cubic meters, and would be the second largest in Nigeria after the Kainji Dam.
It would irrigate 120,000 hectares of arable land on which cash crops could be grown. Potentially the project would support production of one million tonnes of sugarcane annually and provide over one million jobs in industries related to agriculture.
Project history
In 1984 the contract was terminated, but it was reinstated in 1992 by the Ibrahim Babangida regime. In 1994 the Sani Abacha regime terminated the contract again, and set up a judicial committee of inquiry into all aspects of the project. In 2002, funding was allocated for the project, butthen abruptly withdrawn.
In 2008 Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State awarded a contract to the Dangote Group to restart the abandoned dam project, a move that was supported by Abdul Ahmed Ningi, a Bauchi state representative who was House Leader in the National Assembly when the project was cancelled in 2002.

Physical Description of Adult Butterfly:
Upperside, the male is lilac with dark blue basal area while the female is dull brown with varying degree of blue in the basal area. Both sexes have two brown-black subtornal spots on the hindwing. Underside, both sexes are similarly marked. The forewing is pale orange-brown in base colour with a short band at cell-end, and a longer post-discal band, both of which are narrowly edged with brown and white. The hindwing is pale brown in base colour with a series of brown spots and bands narrowly edged with darker brown and white, and two black subtornal spots with a few iridescentpoint, the movement of the caterpillar is rather rapid as it wanders around in search of a pupation site.
Three different examples lf very late final instar caterpillars, showing colour variations.
In the breeding environment, the caterpillar typically chooses the tight space in a curled up leaf or the space between two leaves in a pile of leaf litter. At the chosen site, the caterpillar readies itself for pupation by spinning silk threads to secure itself and partially sealing off access point to the pupation site.

east wall of the commercial building located at 114 West Stratford Drive. The signs allegedly violate restrictive covenants affecting *207 property in The Knolls subdivision. The Circuit Court of Peoria County found that the signs described in plaintiff's complaint were in violation of the declaration of restrictions for The Knolls. That court also found that no substantial change in the character and environment of the area had occurred such that enforcement of the restrictions would be inequitable, nor had the plaintiff association waived or abandoned the restrictions by inaction and failure to enforce. Based upon these findings the circuit court entered an order on July 28, 1978, perpetually restraining and enjoining the defendants from maintaining the signs located on the exterior of the south and east wall of8 in Block 2, and no signs or advertising in excess of 5 square feet are permitted on the east, south, and west sides of such buildings.
2 Defendant's second alternative theory is that plaintiff waived any right to object to the offending signs on the east and south sides of defendant's building as a result of long-time acquiescence in a sign on the north side of that building. If plaintiff's conduct is waiver by nonaction, such waiver applies only to the covenant prohibiting any signs on the north side. There has been no waiver of the covenant prohibiting signs in excess of 5 square feet on the south and east and west. An additional refutation of defendant's argument lies in the cases he himself has cited. In

the dissent. In this case, the judge was faced with a situation in which an 18-month-old child had been in the custody of two loving and caring foster parents since he was three days old. These foster parents are seeking to adopt the child and raise him as their own. The time the father and aunt have spent visiting the child is negligible at best. The aunt never sought custody on her own, but merely agreed to take the childa child she scarcely even knowsat her brother's request. In explaining her willingness to take the child, the most she could say was that it would be nice to have a son. Yet, the dissent believes the child should be in the custody of the aunt, apparently because shea viable alternative. D.M. is 28 years old, works 40 hours per week at a Wal-Mart store, and has two daughters, ages 3 and 7. At the time of trial, she was separated from her husband and was in the process of divorcing. She receives $400 per month in child support. She testified that she had had a tubal ligation, that she could have no more children, and that she had always wanted a son. She said that she thought she could provide a good home for the child and that her sister, who lived nearby, could tend the child while D.M. was working.

ended up going to Brooklyn Tech and there I had access to machine shops and wood working shops for the first time, so as I wanted to play guitar I started building my own stuff and rebuilding broken guitars.
Were you in a band?
Yeah, several bands over the years, but I had more of a fascination with the technical end of things, the instruments, old instruments. I had a real interest in history, like civil war stuff as a kid. My mom had gotten me this double album, one album side was blue and the other was gray, and it was all civil war band music but played on original instruments and I think that really connected me to music and history.
Is there growing demand for vintage instruments?
Seems tobe. It's an interesting market. We have some people who come in who want to buy an instrument that was made in the year they were born, if it was 1955, or 1965, that's sometimes a motivating factor for a collector. You have folks in my age category who owned certain instruments years ago when they weren't worth tens of thousands of dollars and want to recapture that now that they're more solvent, more stable, and then there's a whole group of people, especially in this neighborhood in Brooklyn, who are active musicians, who are recording and gigging, and they realize that old instruments just sound different, they smell different, they feel different and they enjoy bringing that to life.
What are some of the rare instruments you have?

fans want him, for the 30 point pace he's been scoring at since his 30 goal season?
Heck, as I said earlier, you take out Kuli's one game against his buddy Malkin this year, and his stat line in 9 games is 1g, 2a, -4.
You'd like to use him as centerpiece for a high end talent, but those days ended 18 months ago. Right now, he's no more than the third best piece in a deal like that.
Kuli could have a better statistical season, but whatever improvement there would be in his value by next fall as a result goes down because he'd be an impending UFA next fall.
He's worth more to the Leafs now than they can get in a trade. But, is he worth 3M a yearwent to check on dad. He said he hadn't been feeling very well and thought he had the flu. I talked him into going to the doctor but he wanted to wait until morning and get some sleep. So he went to bed and I spent the night to make sure he would go in the morning.
When I turned off the TV and went to bed I checked on him and he was laying there just as peaceful as can be, looked quite serene. But he was gone.
That was over 20 years ago but the father of a close friend of ours just died in his sleep a month ago. Didn't get up at his usual time and was gone when they went to check.

determine the propriety of the methods used to identify him. Gomez, in his written submission to the Court, moved for leave to file a motion to suppress his identification upon the completion of discovery concerning the methods that were used to identify him. At the Court's most recent conference in this case, on August 5, 2005, Gomez orally moved for a suppression hearing. The Court denied Gomez's and Minaya's motions for such a hearing on the record at that conference. Finally, Gomez, Javier and Martinez have filed motions requesting that their trials be severed from the trial of their co-defendants.
In addition, Minaya has moved for suppression of certain post-arrest statements. The Court has scheduled a hearing on December 2, 2005 to address this matter and reserves judgment onECU's Tim Green Golf Classic raises $10,000

The 20 foursomes had a perfect day for a round of golf and camaraderie with ECU head coaches and athletic staff in attendance. Attendees also had a chance to learn from ECU alumnus and PGA Champions Tour Professional, Dr. Gil Morgan.
Morgan took pictures and added a shot for the scramble, while also giving a clinic on the range between the morning and afternoon flights.

cautious consumer spending. China is known as the workshop of the world, and its economy depends heavily on exports, so it can hardly avoid the ill effects of the crisis.
Beijing has tried various measures to fix its troubled economy, such as subsidizing sales of home electrical appliances in the countryside in an effort to boost domestic consumption and clear stocks originally made for export. Unemployment is rising steeply in every country, and the situation in China must be worse than elsewhere.
The Labor Contract Law that came into effect at the beginning of last year has already prompted a number of manufacturers to move abroad. Now, as a new wave of factory closures and stoppages hits the country, the employment situation in China can only get worse.

Cocaine is one of the most addictive substances known, and addicts may lose their ability to function at work or in interpersonal situations.

Staff reports
A small plane crashed Wednesday at the Camarillo Airport, leaving two people dead.
The man and woman killed were from out of state, according to the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office. Their identities had not been made public as of Monday morning pending notification of family members.
The incident was reported at 1:29 p.m. with a Ventura County Fire Department alert about a possible or imminent plane crash. Soon after that, there was a report of a plane down across from the control tower of the airport at Las Posas Road and Ventura Boulevard. There was no fire, according to crews at the scene.
The plane crashed about 1,000 feet short of Runway 26, according to Ian Gregor, a public affairs manager with the Federal Aviation Administration. A staff memberwith the Ventura County Department of Airports said the crash occurred as the plane was coming in to land.
The cause is under investigation.
The runway was closed to make room for emergency crews, who converged on the crash site in a strip of grass that runs parallel to the east-west runway and is just north of the tarmac. Within moments after arriving, crews reported that two people had died at the scene.
Debris was strewn near the mangled fuselage on the ground between the runway and a fence that runs along Ventura Boulevard. A crowd gathered along the boulevard to get a glimpse of the plane and the fire engines, ambulances and police vehicles.

Woman
at Point Zerois a powerful Egyptian novel relaying the life story
of a woman awaiting death row in a Cairo prison for murdering a pimp.
Her crime is one she confesses to with no shame.
The book opens with
a confident, concerned woman psychologist and author trying to learn the
story behind quiet, patient Firdaus. She is a mysterious, ex-prostitute
who refuses to speak with anyone in or out of the prison. Firdaus at last
agrees to speak to the woman psychologist/author, and slowly unravels
her tragic life history before the woman. It is a lifetime rife with abuse,
oppression, abandonment, being taken advantage of on all levels, and of
consistent rejection- by nearly every human she encountered from child
to adulthood.
This
is not a narrative you want to read on a particularly dark day or low
point in your lifeunless you can come away with a sense of gratitude
for your own experience. Firdaus graphically, and unabashedly reveals

Here at David Stark Design, we're always thinking of ways to re-use discarded objects or to see everyday, humble items in a new light. One such flash of inspiration came this summer as we scouted for a wedding in Maine.
Piles of logs destined for the fireplace dotted a clearing made for an eventual new guest house. Since the logs were already cut, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to utilize those logs as décor for the party, stacking a giant backdrop for the band in a similar fashion to their normal state of storage in the woods? Then after, they would go back to their original role as firewood.

The Penistone Show is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who work all year round to ensure that the show gets better and better each year, fully backed by a strongand effective marketing and publicity campaign. Sponsoring the Penistone Show offers you athe magnetooptical disk. More specifically, to erase the written data from an area of the magnetooptical disk, a magnetic field is applied in one direction to the magnetooptical disk, and a data erasing laser beam of strong laser power is also applied to the area of the magnetooptical disk. The area of the magnetooptical disk is now magnetized in one direction, thus erasing any written data from the area. Thereafter, the applied magnetic field is reversed, and a data writing laser beam of strong laser power is applied to the area of the magnetooptical disk. The written data can be read from the magnetooptical disk by accessing the magnetooptical disk with a laser beam of weak laser power.

World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great
The nature of the fighting during the Great War led to a huge number of injured soldiers and the existing Military medical facilities in the United Kingdom were soon overwhelmed. A solution had to be found quickly and many civilian hospitals were turned over to military use, a large number of asylums were also converted to military hositals, with the asylum patients being sent home, often to unprepared families. As demand for beds grew, large buildings such as Universities and hotels were transformed into hospitals and wooden huts sprang up in hospital grounds and at army camps to cope with the huge numbers. Additional nursing staff were needed and this was met by a mixture of qualified nursesand volunteers.
A soldier who was injured in the field would be treated firstly at a Regimental Aid Post in the trenches by the Battalion Medical Officer and his orderlies and stretcher bearers, then moved to an Advance Dressing Station close to the front line manned by members of The Field Ambulance, RAMC. If further treatment was needed he would be moved to a Casualty Clearing Station, a tented camp behind the lines and then if required moved to one of the base hospitals usually by train, the seriously wounded were taken back to Britain by Hospital Ship and onto the relevant hospital for further treatment.
With the wide range of serious injuries before faced, hospitals began to specialise in certain types of injury in order to provide the best

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Corners the Market for Series Advertising
Kody Brown seemed to fancy himself a career-oriented type of guy when Sister Wives first rolled out. But fans have yet to figure out just what that career entails. Now when it comes to advertising, Kody Brown, Janelle Brown, Robyn Brown, and Christine Brown could take a lesson from the matriarch of the family.
Meri Brown has this Sister Wives thing cornered when it comes to promoting the TLC series. Her online posts seem to entice the fans more than any of the other Sister Wives posts putsimultaneously with the installation of only one CDPD radio in a given sector. This multiple access is the result of a mobile end-system accessing the CDPD channel only when there is data to be sent.
The AMPS base station and the MDBS can use the same RF equipment if both are co-located. By contrast, the MTSO of the AMPS system and the MD-IS of the CDPD system do not have to be co-located in order to share RF links. In the AMPS system, the MTSO 23 has the responsibility of connecting the AMPS base station and the mobile station to another party through a PSTN 24.

''Our legal counsel has said that the complaints are without merit,'' Mr. Reinke said.
Earlier this month, the chapter for Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as individual members, filed a complaint against the board with the Attorney General of New York, the state where the association is incorporated.
The complaint says that the executive vice president was removed and replaced by the board in defiance of bylaws. The complaint also says that the organization's official journal presented only the arguments of the board on proposals to change the bylaws and that members could not get other information they sought, Convention to Be Held in April Some members and state associations have also accused the board of using membership publications for politicking on the bylaws vote and theelections, which will take place in April at the membership convention in Reno. They also say that computer system used to count ballots may be programmed with predetermined results. Mail ballots for those not attending the Reno meeting start arriving in in the current issue of the organization's journal this weekend.
Neal Knox, considered the leader of the dissidents, was ousted by the board in 1982 from his position as the organization's chief lobbyist. Members and former members of the board and staff have said Mr. Knox alienated key members of Congress with a confrontational style.
Mr. Knox, who is campaigning for election as executive vice president, and the dissidents want the bylaws changed to allow members to remove the executive vice president, as well as elect him, to give

Gun Rights Committee, an organization of present and former board members of the organization, sent selected members an appeal for money. The letter said $50,000 was needed to stop ''Knox and his 'take over the N.R.A.' crowd,'' and ''win this 1987 battle over the bylaws and the future of our beloved N.R.A.''
The split first developed at the association's 1977 annual meeting in Cincinnati. In a shake-up, members ousted most of their top elected and paid officials and selected Harlon Carter, a former president, as executive vice president. It was at this time that the members changed the bylaws to allow membership election of the executive vice president.
The strategy for that revolt was principally developed by Mr. Knox, then editor of Rifle magazine and Handloader magazine, which are independentof the organization. Split Got Worse in 1982
The board's ouster of Mr. Knox as lobbyist in 1982 worsened the split, according to N.R.A. staff members who spoke on the condition that they not be named.
The recent upsurge began last spring when G. Ray Arnett, then executive vice president, was stripped of power and barred from national headquarters in Washington. The board replaced Mr. Arnett with J. Warren Cassidy, who had been chief lobbyist.
The dissidents say the board had no power to remove Mr. Arnett nor to replace him with Mr. Cassidy, absent a vote of the membership.
Mr. Knox and other dissidents said the board's attempt to change the bylaws to give the board the power to remove the executive vice president was an effort to undo the changes

Acute Compartment Syndrome in the Forearm with Extensor and Flexor Tendon Ruptures: A Case Report.
While working in a factory, a thirty-five-year-old man injured his right forearm and was then diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome. Ruptures of the flexor and extensor tendons were revealed via single volar and dorsal incisions. End-to-side transfer with use of the remaining extensor tendons was performed; the end of the extensor indicis proprius tendon was sutured to the side of the extensor digitorum communis tendon of the middle finger, and the extensor pollicis longus tendon was sutured to the extensor pollicis brevis tendon. In cases of high-energy injuries, associated tendon rupture should be considered.of murder.
About 1,000 guests were present at Walder's burial. When the local priest wanted to remove the death notice with the murder accusations from the church, he was beaten by a Walder brother, a turning point in the local community as the brothers began to lose a lot of sympathy then. The brothers had a further quarrel with Bergmann at a further burial, Bergmann had to be treated in a hospital, and the brothers were convicted and had to pay large fines.
Further coverage
In the local community, the Walder brothers grew more and more isolated because of their violent behavior. Pius' grave and various sites of his life and death attracted tourists, and various media reported on the ongoing quarrels. The brothers' ongoing anger about the alleged

That's an XR14 - a remarkable bike. As I understand, it was the combination of four rotary-valve, 125cc engines. Unlike the renowned Ariel square four which had had one cast block of four cylinders the RG500 had four separate cylinders and was deemed cheaper to engineer than a V4. In terms of weight Kesh, Sheene's works bikes had an advantage over their production racer counterparts which ran aluminium and steel to Sheene's magnesium and titanium. I know that the later beautiful XR22 and XR23 1977 iterations weighed as little as 130kg. They had to be nimble because Barry lacked strength in his damaged legs hence the 'bull horn' handlebars to increase leverage. Also, the sprung shocks were replaced by gas shocks in '77 whichSheene purportedly hated. Not that it mattered, Suzuki didn't want to show their hand and the XR23 was mothballed as an insurance policy in case Yamaha started disappearing over the horizon and the sister version the '22 was reserved for the Trans Atlantic Challenges - meaning I saw one race at Mallory. Ridiculously, they let him test it, but not ride it and gave him another XR14 much to his infuriation. Here's what you could have had. I have often thought that this was another reason for his defection to Yamaha.
Nonetheless Barry ensured that he coralled all the factory machines for himself leaving teammates Hennen and Baker with the less competitive production racers. The early versions of the RGV were notoriously unreliable which is why he had a

indictment was filed against him in the United States district court for the eastern district of Louisiana, charging him with an attempt to defraud the United States, and alleging as an overt act his application for a hearing of the charges made by Cox. The indictment was quashed October 31, 1907, by the United States district attorney, with leave of the court.
On the 24th day of April, 1909, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, upon the consideration of the pretended relinquishment of Cox, canceled the entry, and held that the lands were open to entry by other persons, and entries of the lands have been made.
The second tract described in the petition was entered under the homestead law, by one T. R. Cox, and through certain mesneconveyances appellant became its owner.
On April 6, 1900, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, in consequence of the report of the agent of the office, suspended the entry, but no official notice of the suspension was given to appellant, and no further proceedings were ever had on the suspension of the entry.
On February 17, 1902, Cox, by a fictitious act of sale, for a nominal consideration, undertook to convey 140 acres of his entry to one S. B. Moore, for the purpose of defrauding appellant.
On March 19, 1902, one Leslie B. Wright filed a contest against the entry, making Cox, Moore, and appellant parties. The local land office decided the contest in favor of appellant, holding that the conveyance to Moore was fictitious and fraudulent, and was

and final proof was made by her and a final certificate was issued to her. She sold the lands to one Fluker, and the latter conveyed them to appellant.
On February 24, 1904, an indictment was filed against appellant and one Wright, in the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana, under § 5440 of the Revised Statutes. The indictment was, on motion of the district attorney, quashed.
On May 28, 1903, a contest was instituted against the entry of Nancy L. Cotton, charging fraud in the initiation thereof. Notice of the contest was given to Wright, but not to her. Such proceedings were had thereon that a decision was rendered sustaining the contest and recommending the cancelation of the entry. Appellant appealed from thedecision, but was forced to withdraw his appeal by threats of criminal prosecution. The entry was thereupon canceled and the lands subsequently entered by another, whose entry is now intact.
The petition alleges the good faith of appellant's purchase of all of the tracts, that he paid to the state of Louisiana taxes thereon, constructed roads to have access to them, and cleared them of timber and otherwise improved them.
The petition further represents that appellant, being in the parish prison at the parish of New Orleans in the summer and fall of the year 1907, under proceedings in two criminal suits, neither of which had relation to or connection with the lands covered by the entries described, and being above the age of seventy-six years, in bad health and

and value of the improvements made by him on the lands and the taxes paid by him. Certain articles of the Code of Louisiana are set out which, it is alleged, existed, and that they were specifically relied on by appellant and adopted and accepted as the measure of appellant's rights in the premises by the United States district attorney and by the Land Department of the United States, in accepting and filing the several relinquishments, whereby, it is further alleged, the United States contracted to pay petitioner the amount and value of his improvements made upon the lands, and the taxes.
Mr. Harvcy M. Friend for appellant.
Mr. George M. Anderson and Assistant Attorney General Thompson for appellee.
Statement by Mr. Justice McKenna:
Mr. Justice McKenna delivered the opinion of thecourt, after stating the facts as above:
1
It will be observed from the allegations of the petition that appellant not only had been convicted of defrauding the government of certain lands, but that he was charged with fraud in regard to the lands which he relinquished, and on account of which he contends a contract arose between him and the government. This must be regarded as an element in the consideration of the case. Appellant was a convicted wrongdoer in two cases; he was a suspected wrongdoer in the other cases, and from that standpoint the government dealt with him; and he was a petitioner for a pardon. The pardon was granted, but upon terms. He was to make restitution for his wrongdoing. The defrauded government was to be

Carolyn Press-McKenzie is well known as the founder of HUHA, Helping You Help Animals Charitable Trust. Carolyn's inspired problem-solving and drive has led a team of HUHA volunteers to save thousands of animals from death row and to find safe outcomes for hundreds of animals after the Christchurch earthquakes, thirty beagles from a medical testing facility, thousands of hens from battery farms as well as ex-circus and zoo animals and native wildlife. HUHA volunteers also organised New Zealand's largest animal welfare protest against party-pill testing on animals, after which the law was changed.
Carolyn currently heads HUHA's two no-kill animal sanctuaries just north of Wellington, as well as running a business that formulates natural products. She was a vet nurse, trained animals for film and television, studied herbalism,as follows. In early May 2013, mother attended a health care appointment in

Toner particles are attracted to the latent image forming a toner powder image on the photoconductive member. The toner powder image is subsequently transferred to a copy sheet. Finally, the toner powder image is heated to permanently fuse it to the copy sheet in image configuration.
One type of single component development system is a scavengeless development system that uses a donor roll for transporting charged toner to the development zone. At least one, and up to a plurality of electrode members are closely spaced to the donor roll in the development zone. An AC voltage is applied to the electrode members forming a toner cloud in the development zone. The electrostatic fields generated by the latent image attract toner from the toner cloud to develop the latent image.
Anotherabout the circumferential surface of the roll between adjacent grooves.
Primarily because the adhesion force of the toner particles is greater than the stripping force generated by the electric field of the electrode members in the development zone, a problem results in that toner tends to build up on the electrode members. Accumulation of toner particles on the wire member causes non-uniform development of the latent image, resulting in print defects. The problem is aggravated by toner fines and any toner components, such as high molecular weight, crosslinked and/or branched components, and the voltage breakdown between the wire member and the donor roll.
One specific example of toner contamination results upon development of a document having solid areas, which require a large concentration of toner to be deposited at a

particular position on the latent image. The areas of the electrode member corresponding to the high throughput or high toner concentration areas tend to include higher or lower accumulation of toner because of this differing exposure to toner throughput. When the printer subsequently attempts to develop another, different image, the toner accumulation on the electrode member will lead to differential development of the newly developed image corresponding to the areas of greater or lesser toner accumulation on the electrode members. The result is a darkened or lightened band in the position corresponding to the solid area of the previous image. This is particularly evident in areas of intermediate density, since these are the areas most sensitive to differences in development. These particular image defects caused by toner accumulationon the electrode wires at the development zone are referred to as wire history. FIG. 5 contains an illustration of wire contamination and wire history. Wire contamination results when fused toner forms between the electrode member and donor member due to toner fines and any toner components, such as high molecular weight, crosslinked and/or branched components, and the voltage breakdown between the wire member and the donor roll. Wire history is a change in developability due to toner or toner components sticking to the top of the electrode member.
Accordingly, there is a specific need for electrode members in the development zone of a development unit of an electrophotographic printing machine, which provide for a decreased tendency for toner accumulation in order to decrease wire history and wire contamination,

He grabbed the woman around her neck and threw her to the ground, struck her in the forehead with an open palm, slammed her face into the hood of his patrol car twice and slammed her into the door of his car, the indictment alleges.
Scavone also falsified a use-of-force report about his confrontation with the woman, according to the indictment.
The woman was charged with littering and loitering, but those charges were dismissed.
Authorities last year said Scavone was wearing a body camera during the scuffle, but police have not made the recording public.

the prevailing wind. Since the spraying equipment is typically secured in position over a hole drilled through the ice, frequent movement of the spraying equipment to adjust for wind speed and direction may not be economically feasible.
Another technique for constructing an ice island consists of flooding the surface of a naturally-occurring sheet of ice with water, allowing the water to freeze, and then flooding the newly frozen layer. In this manner, the island is built up in layers of ice. Due to the amount of time it takes for the water to freeze after flooding, the water flooding technique for constructing an ice island takes more time than the previously-described spraying technique.
It is also known in the prior art to construct an ice road by collecting snow, raisingthe temperature of the collected snow, as by adding water, thereby producing slush, and spreading the slush to form a road. In another type of ice road building, ice aggregate is used to form the road and a spray of water is applied to the top of the formed road to bond the upper thickness of the aggregate. These ice road building techniques suffer from deficiencies in that when using the ice aggregate method, multiple passes with a sprayer over the aggregate are necessary to bond the upper layer of aggregate. Moreover, only the upper layer is a solid sheet of ice, thereby reducing the overall strength of the road. Both the slush and the ice aggregate road building methods are not suitable for ice island construction due

When Brueghel was at work on his still life, between 1608 and 1610, this bubble was still decades away from bursting. Brueghel and his specialist contemporaries, such as Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, painted flowers in order to cater for the new and fashionable interest in horticulture that was preoccupying gentlemen botanists and wealthy connoisseurs. One of their leaders was the pioneering botanist Carolus Clusius, who established an important botanical garden at the University of Leiden during the 1590s.
Clusius also had a private garden at Leiden, and it was here that he planted his own collection of tulip bulbs. At that time, tulips, which originally hailed from the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges in central Asia, and had already been cultivated by besotted gardeners in

Shawn Nelson's second season as a tight end for the Buffalo Bills will be shortened by four games after he was suspended for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
Nelson, drafted in the fourth round last year out of Southern Mississippi, started 12 games as a rookie for the Bills. He caught 17 passes for 156 yards.
Nelson can practice and play throughout the remainder of the Bills' preseason. The Bills were already short-handed at tight end after Derek Schouman hurt his knee in Thursday's 34-21 preseason victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Nelson' suspension begins Sept. 4, eight days before the Bills' first regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins.
Nelson will also miss games against the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and New York Jets.

An international team of paleontologists has described a new species of mosasaur that lived in freshwater environments about 84 million years ago.
Until now mosasaurs, large extinct reptiles, were only thought to have lived in ancient seas and oceans. But according to a new study published in the journal PLoS-ONE, the new mosasaur species from Hungary is the first known example of this group to have lived in freshwater river environments similar to modern freshwater dolphins.
The team found several fossils of the new species, ranging from small juveniles to large adults that suggest that this species had limbs like a terrestrial lizard, a flattened, crocodile-like skull, and a tail unlike other known members of the mosasaur family. The fossils were recovered from an open-pit mine in the Bakony HillsBlog

Pezeshki allegedly had improper contact with two female patients during examinations. As a result of a plea agreement, the charges involving the second patient were dismissed and a no contest plea entered for the sexual battery by fraud charges involving the first patient back in 2008.
Pezeshki was convicted of the sex crime in Van Nuys Superior court and fortunately for Pezeshki his Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney was able to avoid imprisonment as part of the sentencing because a conviction for sexual battery can result in one year jail if charged as a misdemeanor and up to 4 years in state prison if charged as a felony

is characterized by sunny and dry summers, with sparse precipitation in the form of showers or thunderstorms. Nights can be pleasantly hot, but there are also windy days, especially in Cyclades in August, with strong winds called meltemia. Winters are wet and snow, if falling, melts quickly.
The Alpine Mediterranean climate of the mountainous areas of Greece is characterized by harsh winters with lots of snowfall, and cool summers with thunderstorms. This climate is predominant in high mountains, like the mountain ranges of Pindus and Rhodope. Ski resorts have opened in areas with alpine characteristics, which are very popular among Greeks during winter, such as Karpenisi in Central Greece. The transitional climate between continental and Mediterranean climate can be found in Northern Greece and the northern parts of CentralGreece, mainly Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace. This climate is characterized by cold and wet winters with rainy days, while snowfalls may occur, though the snow does not last very long. In summer, there may also be heatwaves, as well as short rainfalls. The minimum temperature ever recorded in Greece is -27.8 degrees Celsius in Ptolemaida, while the maximum temperature is 48 degrees Celsius in Elefsina. This is also the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe. However, due to the peculiar morphology of Greece, average temperatures may vary considerably among regions.

But the locusts followed. Frenzied hordes of them seeming to come from nowhere ate most of the emerging grass. Little rain has fallen since then The summer was hotter than normal and more than 20 colossal dust storms have blown away much of the topsoil.
For a brief time after the blizzard, the travails of Inner Mongolia attracted outside attention, and food aid from international donors has helped tens of thousands of families to avoid hunger. Still, some families, their incomes slashed, have had to pull children from school.

anon66682 February 21, 2010 On a recent trip to Flagstaff AZ we discovered a high abundance of ravens and crows. Ravens are much bigger and have a different pitch in sound. On one occasion we were quite close to a raven. What a beautiful species, with their dark eyes and beaks. Very surprised to see how large it was up close. Can't wait to return.

When I commented about it to my son, he said it was a raven mimicking the sound. Sure enough, I saw it happen later in the day.

candidate had also claimed that Pakistan was not a threat to India and hence it should not be seen as an enemy nation. To which Former Chief of Staff VK Singh strongly objected. Pakistan has declared a proxy war against India and is using terrorism for it. How can a country involved in a hidden war against India be viewed as a friendly country?- questioned V. K Singh. He also said that if India considered Pakistan as a friend, it would be the biggest weakness of India.
Since the last few months, Pakistan is desperate to hold talks with India. Especially, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, both have been consistently forwarding proposals to India for talks. Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi havewhy the Pakistan military that had always opposed talks with India has now seen approaching India for the same.
However, India seems to have cornered Pakistan by taking a stern stand in the matter. India announced that no dialogue is possible with Pakistan, till the time it takes credible action against terrorists. India said that it is also keen on a dialogue with Pakistan, but it can take place only in terror-free environment. India has presented the same stand firmly in front of the countries, insisting on a dialogue with Pakistan. Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had made efforts to open a dialogue with India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently pointed out that the then opposition leader Imran Khan had levelled severe treachery accusations against Nawaz Sharif. A

It takes a great designer to work within the confines of a material and get both form and function in line. British designer Terence Woodgate repeatedly meets this challenge with his modern wood furniture, and he has emerged as a thoughtful and innovative designer. Born in London in 1953, Woodgate initially trained as a design engineer but in the mid-1980s, he returned to London Guildhall University to pursue furniture design. Attracted to the conceptual as well as the hands-on aspect of designing furniture, Woodgate opened his first studioTaiwan launched its baseball season, with mannequins and cardboard cutouts of fans wearing face masks, after spectators were banned from attending games during the coronavirus pandemic.
While other nations have cancelled sporting events for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the country has decided to buck the trend and hold games.
Photographs from Taoyuan International baseball stadium, in Taoyuan city, showed the mannequins and cardboard cutouts sat in seats where spectators normally cheer from.
They were dressed in the colours and merchandise of the home team Rakuten Monkeys, as well as surgical masks.

Bishop El Soryany: We want to show our grief for what happened on New Year's in Egypt to the Coptic community. Our Christian brethren in Egypt live in fear, with sorrow, with tears in their eyes. We want to show our grief to the whole world. It is not a manifestation of protest, it is a day of solidarity: We want to take the voice of our brothers of Egypt to Italy. They ask for the solidarity of the whole world: enough of violence, of terrorism, not only in the Middle East, in Lebanon, but also in Sudan, in Africa, in every country.

encounter, and flanker Sean O'Brien was at the heart of the suffocating defensive effort that restricted the Wallabies to six points.
The 24-year-old was forced into the openside flanker role from his regular blindside position when David Wallace was ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury, and he stepped up to the task with an expertise beyond his years.
O'Brien led his team in both tackles and runs against the Wallabies and was rewarded for the consistency of his powerful ball-carrying with a try against Russia.
To cap off a memorable campaign for the Irish Rugby Writers' Player of the Year, O'Brien was named man-of-the-match in Ireland's win over Italy that sent them into the quarter-finals.

Single phase power supply systems throughout Australia and in many parts of the world comprise an active conductor and a neutral conductor which is generally maintained at earth potential by being connected to an earthing system at various points throughout the distribution system, including at a consumer's switch board.
A potential fault situation which sometimes arises and which may be of a major concern to the supply authority and the power user is that of reverse polarity. Reverse polarity may occur through reversing the neutral and active connections at the electricity meter on the premises of the user or at the supply pole from which the service is supplied. With a reverse polarity fault condition, an extremely hazardous situation occurs as dangerous active voltage may be present on theevictions
NeighborWorks, a Green Bay nonprofit, released a list of resources online for tenant help related to evictions, advocacy/legal rights, reporting unhealthy and unsafe conditions, and finding a place to live.
Sister Melanie Maczka, the founder of Casa ALBA Melanie, another Green Bay nonprofit, said Casa ALBA staff is telling people who are struggling with rent to pay what they can in good faith this April 1 even with the eviction ban in place. That demonstrates to the landlord you are trying to pay rent despite difficulties and that you need to stay in place through and after the ban. It also prevents an entire 60 days of back rent from accumulating.

Honz Ladd could face terrorism charges after making a fake bomb threat to get a friend out of school early
A Missouri teen went to extreme lengths to help a friend play hooky and now he could face terrorism charges.
Honz Ladd, 17, told police he made a fake bomb threat to get a friend out of school early.
His former school, Republic High School, had to evacuate 1,400 students for hours on November 11 as police investigated the threat.
Parents were told to pick up their children away from the building at the softball parking lot if they didn't ride the bus.
With current Missouri laws, Ladd could face seven years in prison.
Ladd made the threat by going to Google and searching how to submit an anonymous tip.
He said he wrote ina 'paragraph thing' and submitted it through a random website.
KSPR reports Syracuse Police received the threat on their website and soon contacted the Republic Police Department.
Police traced the computer to one in Republic and seized it, cellphones and a bag filled with white powder according to the Springfield News-Leader.
Ladd used the address of Republic High School as his own on the police report. He said he is homeless and was high on methamphetamine when he reported the fake threat.
All 1,400 students evacuated from Republic High School because of the bomb threat
Ladd was caught after police found out he texted a female student asking if she wanted to get out of school early.
However, in a police statement Ladd said he overheard two people talk about knowing someone who was

Known medical laser imagers have been designed with one or two film supplies.
One such imager is designed with a single film supply that utilizes a direct path to feed film from the film cartridge to the optics assembly. Since this machine has just one film supply, a single curved guide can be used to turn the film 90° degrees to re-direct the film towards the optics assembly. Another separate direct path is used to transport the film from the optics assembly to the thermal processor. Another such imager is also designed with a single film supply that utilizes a direct path to feed film from the film cartridge to the optics assembly. Another direct path is used to transport the film from the optics assembly to the thermalprocessor. A third such imager is designed with two film supplies. The lower film supply feeds film directly from the film cartridge to the optics assembly. The upper film supply feeds film into a transport assembly that feeds the film to the optics assembly. This same transport assembly is also used to feed film from the optics assembly to the processor.
Therefore, the current state-of-the-art in film transport is the use of separate direct feed paths in single film supply imagers. The two-film supply imager has a separate transport assembly that uses the same feed path to transport film from the upper film cartridge to the optics assembly and from the optics assembly to the thermal processor.
There is therefore a need for a film transport system for use in

Portsmouth's troubled season took another dramatic twist last night when Balram Chainrai seized control of the club from Ali al-Faraj, making the Hong Kong businessman the fourth owner at Fratton Park this season, following Sacha Gaydamak, Sulaiman al-Fahim and Faraj.
Chainrai has taken over the 90% shareholding in Portsmouth that was held by Faraj after becoming frustrated that the club had missed deadlines to repay money he was due for substantial loans he gave to them earlier this season.
Chainrai had loaned at least £17m to Faraj to keep Portsmouth afloat through Portpin, the company he owns with his Israeli business partner, Levi Kushnir, and their associates. Those loans were secured against the stadium, the club's future television revenue and Faraj's 90% share.
Angered by Portsmouth's failure to make repayments onthe finance, despite Portpin continually extending the deadlines, Chainrai's patience ran out yesterday, and he instructed his lawyers to act. Under the terms of the loan Faraj's 90% shareholding in Portsmouth was frozen and passes to Chainrai. It is understood Faraj may have to instigate court proceedings if he wishes to challenge the move.
Chainrai had expected to receive a sizeable repayment when the Premier League paid all of its 20 clubs a £7m instalment of television revenue early last month. Portsmouth's, though, was withheld by the governing body as the club's dire financial predicament meant they had been unable to pay transfer monies due to English and European clubs. A proportion of these were paid by the league using the television money.
Chainrai travelled to England last month but

a week. But starting in March 2012, she was forced to cook, clean and do other household chores for 16 hours a day, seven days a week, and was paid only $220, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say the victim's passport was taken from her, and she wasn't allowed to return to Kenya. In May, she was brought to the U.S. and given her passport only to pass through customs, the district attorney's office said.
Once here, she was forced to tend to at least eight people in four apartments in the same Irvine complex, washing dishes, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and ironing, the office said.
The other four women left the home voluntarily with police once authorities arrived. They told police they were interested in being free, said Irvine police chief DavidMaggard Jr.
No charges have been filed in connection with their circumstances.
Police said there are no indications of physical abuse.
It is the first forced labor case brought in Orange County under a human trafficking ballot initiative passed last year by California voters, and it is being investigated by local police and federal immigration authorities.
Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's homeland security investigations in Los Angeles, said he hoped the case would encourage other trafficking victims to trust in law enforcement.
Alayban is set to be arraigned in court Thursday. She is one of the wives of Saudi Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al Saud, the district attorney's office said.

Cuba Missions 2017
Ray and Sarah Reynolds went back to Santa Clara, Cuba for an 8 day mission trip February 17-25. They were able to survey the work in the remaining 8 congregations that were not visited in November and visit another church family in Remedios. The goal was to encourage more congregations and visit as many brethren as possible. Most days there were at least two Bible studies and meetings. We had three baptisms and purchased our first ever CHURCH BUILDING!!! Praise the Lord! The brethren now own the Villa Clara church of Christ property in downtown Santa Clara. It was formerly a pharmacy and personal residence. Many new contacts were made and personal visits were made in the homes of potential prospects for Bible study. Since leavingthere have been many baptisms and Bible studies!
Previously.... November 1-7, 2016... Frank Hughes, Edelto Villa, Ray Reynolds, Sarah Reynolds, Luke Reynolds, Seth Reynolds, and Izak Reynolds travelled to Santa Clara, Cuba for a mission trip. The goal was to visit and encourage the congregations we currently support in the region. Specifically they focused on the city churches within Santa Clara, Manicaragua, and Sancti Spiritus.
When Edelto and his family the left the work a few years ago, moving to the states, we were supporting nine congregations in Santa Clara, eight in Municipio Villa Clara, and ten in Sancti Spiritus. Our work consisted of 38 preachers and hundreds of members. To be honest, things digressed somewhat in Santa Clara because of lack of organization, but things are turning around! Noel

an inertia charge intake manifold which is made of a metal such as aluminum or suitable alloy. The intake manifold includes a surge tank located remote from the cylinder head of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, and a plurality of relatively long branch pipes connecting the surge tank to the cylinder head. The surge tank is located remote from the cylinder head to provide a long path for arranging the relatively long branch pipes without sharply bending.
However, since the surge tank is located remote from the cylinder head, the engine combined with the intake manifold becomes inevitably bulky. Further, difficulty arises in supporting the surge tank on the engine particularly in view of the fact that the surge tank itself must support other intake components such as athe heating wire. In this method, the voltage applying step may be performed when the seal member is pressed.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of connecting an end of a branch pipe of an intake manifold to another member of the intake manifold, wherein the branch pipe and said another member are made of a hard thermoplastic synthetic resin. The method includes the steps of:
providing said another member with a connecting bore;
providing the end of the branch pipe with a cylindrical protrusion to be inserted into the connecting bore and with a brim integral with the cylindrical protrusion;
arranging a heating wire circumferentially of the connecting bore;
inserting the cylindrical protrusion into the connecting bore so that the heating wire is located

the records, do I need NARA approval before discarding the damaged originals?
No. NARA approval is not needed to discard damaged original Federal records; exact duplicates are an acceptable replacement for damaged temporary and permanent Federal records.
If I determine that the original irradiated records are adequate for agency needs, and the records are scheduled for transfer to the National Archives of the United States, will NARA accept them?
The agency must ensure that the records are legible and intact for the period of time they remain in agency custody, including off-site storage. When permanent records are transferred to the National Archives of the United States, NARA will take appropriate preservation measures to ensure their continued availability. The agency should notify NARA at the time of transfer if the records haveclaiming ownership of certain rice and proceeds from the sale of rice, pursuant to a previous agreement with Western.
Wells had dealt with Western for a number of years, the standard arrangement being that Western would buy the rice outright from Wells, would mill it and then sell it. In April and May of 1981, because of financial difficulties, Western could not buy the rice outright from Wells. Wells and Western orally agreed instead that Western would mill the rice for a certain price and then market the rice at an agreed minimum price for Wells. The charge for milling would be deducted when Western sold the rice, and the remaining proceeds would go to Wells. In the interim, the rice was stored with Western.

Comey came under fire during the election for announcing a new element of an FBI investigation into Clinton, who was then the Democratic nominee for president, just weeks before Americans headed to the polls. Some Democrats have accused him of swaying the election in Trump's favor with the move.
The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General announced a new examination Thursday into the FBI's handling of the investigation of Clinton's email use.
The probe will focus on Comey's public announcement of the department's decision not to bring charges against Clinton for her use of a private server. It will also examine the letter that Comey sent Congress days before the general election announcing that the FBI had renewed its investigation into theThe goal of this training program is to provide advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with interdisciplinary training in cognitive neuroscience and to create a new generation of cognitive neuroscientists devoted to the study of normal and abnormal brain function.

This answer is me taking a gamasutra article and summarizing it with the question asked in mind. As with any soft science there are disagreements evenamong the experts on the field so I would recommend looking into the links to specific schools of though.
The Types of Players
The Fictionalists: They see the game's story and fictional world as the most central aspects of video games, and want the game worlds
to look and sound exactly like the fictional worlds presented in film.
They are negative to all features that disturb the illusion of a
coherent world existing separately from our own. They want to immerse
into the story world and find all interface elements to be disturbing
for the ability to suspend disbelief.
The Systemists: They see the game as a formal system of rules and regard understanding the system as the most central and interesting

result of the latter's negligence. It would therefore appear that where the damages suffered by the insured result from the tortious acts of third parties, the insured should be entitled to employ against its insurance carrier all provisions of law which he is in other circumstances permitted to employ against his tortfeasor in seeking recovery of damages suffered by him. Since an injured motorist may avail himself of the benefit accorded him under the collateral source rule in actions against tortfeasors, he has the same benefit of this rule when he seeks recovery against his insurance carrier who has now been substituted in the place and stead of the tortfeasor as a source of reimbursement for injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident.
In addition to the above, welaw to pay. It therefore reasons that the trial court erred in holding that it is required to reimburse appellee, for the benefit of the United States, for the medical benefits furnished by the latter to appellee as a member of the armed forces, which medical benefits it was required to furnish by virtue of federal law.
There can be no doubt but that if appellee's claim for damages resulting from his injuries was the subject of litigation brought against his tortfeasor, the United States could intervene in the case and claim recovery for the value of the medical services furnished by it to appellee. The right to reimbursement so vested in the United States may not be extinguished merely because the no-fault insurance law immunizes tortfeasors from liability

The world is a holistic ecosystem: Nature, World, or the ecosystem sometimes are used interchangeably. It is all the products of a physically, chemically, biologically, cognologically, linguistically, technologically evolving Nature, in that sequence.

When a new stage emerges in the progression of society and advance of the technology, the continued use of the old paradigm, the old-world-view-lens, creates ever-increasing problems.

On March 4, 2006, Antonio James Jimenez caused a car accident killing two
people. One of the deceased was Pablo Pinedo, a Central Florida resident who was
survived by a minor child that lived with his birth mother in Uruguay. At the time
of the accident, Jimenez was insured by GEICO under an automobile insurance
policy that provided bodily injury coverage in the amount of $10,000 per person
and $20,000 per occurrence. Although Jimenez later admitted fault for the car

tends to show that the Nelson interests had been the owners of the leased premises for some time prior to 10 January 1941. On that date the Prudential Insurance Company procured title thereto by foreclosure of the equity of redemption the premises held by the Insurance Company. Thus the right of redemption by Nelson would have expired on 10 January 1943. This date fell on a Sunday, so that 11 January 1943 was treated by the parties as the expiration date of the right of redemption.
In late December 1942, or early January 1943, Mr. Nelson was informed that Prudential would permit a redemption of the premises in question for $340,000.00, of which $30,000.00 was to be paid in cash, and a first mortgage given to secure the balanceof $310,000.00. Negotiations were first instituted on this basis, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation being first contacted.
Mr. Nelson was in military service and stationed at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In late 1942, he and Mrs. Nelson met with representatives of Darling and the possibility of Darling assisting in the redemption of the property and renting the premises was discussed.
In an effort to raise money to effect the redemption Mr. and Mrs. Nelson went to New York on 6 January 1943 and remained there until a lease agreement was executed with Darling on 11 January 1943.
*28 On 8 January 1943, Mr. Nelson was informed that the redemption price would be $352,000 rather than $340,000 as originally stated by Prudential.
On 7 January 1943, Darling made proposals for the lease of the premises which

the Nelsons considered unacceptable, and on that day they entered into negotiations with the Ann Lewis Shops relative to renting the premises to them. Terms more favorable to Nelson were proposed by the Ann Lewis Shops.
Further negotiations were, however, continued with representatives of Darling. The Ann Lewis Shops withdrew from the negotiations which were continued solely with Darling. On 8 January 1943, agreement was reached concerning significant parts of the rental arrangement, and Mr. Gluck, representing Darling, and Mr. Nelson shook hands.
The next day 9 January 1943, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson went to the office of Stanley M. Dorman who undertook to prepare the lease as attorney for Darling.
The Nelsons, during the negotiations, had employed as their attorney Mr. Emory C. Risley, whose qualifications as a lawyer weremade until amendment of the cross bill on 9 January 1952, almost nine years after the execution of the lease.
An express affirmance of a contract by word or deed, after full knowledge of alleged fraud, defeats the right of rescission. Stafford v. Colonial Mortgage and Bond Co., 221 Ala. 636, 130 So. 383.
The remaining alleged fraudulent oral representation by Darling asserted by appellant relates to the place where the records of Darling were to be made available to Nelson for inspection, that is, whether they were to be kept in Birmingham or in New York.
The tendency of testimony presented by the appellant was to the effect that Darling's representatives, in the preliminary discussions leading up to the lease agreement, and the lease, had stated that the records would

than 20 years ago, Prof. John Gal from the Hebrew University and Taub center called for examining UBI in Israel, and over the years he published many papers examining some aspects of it. Today, a variety of research institutes including Shahrit, Taub center, and the Institute for Structural Reforms, are considering UBI in Israel, from the philosophical and economic points of view. In the last months three conferences held discussions about UBI in Israel. A central speaker in all of them was Prof. Daniel Gottlieb, the Deputy Director General of Research and Planning in the NII, who recently introduced an initial examination of a scheme for UBI in Israel, and who is currently promoting the idea in the NII.

the aircraft following a commonly used commercial, navigational route towards the Middle East and Europe.
That course - headed into the Andaman Sea and towards the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean - could only have been set deliberately, either by flying the jet manually or by programming the auto-pilot.
The disappearance of the Boeing 777 - one of the safest commercial jets in service - is shaping into one of the most baffling mysteries in aviation history.
It is extremely rare for a modern passenger aircraft to disappear once it has reached cruising altitude, as MH370 had. When that does happen, the debris from a crash is usually found close to its last known position relatively quickly.
In this case, there has been no trace of the plane, nor anysign of wreckage, as the navies and military aircraft of more than a dozen countries scour the seas on both sides of peninsular Malaysia.
The maximum range of the Boeing 777-200ER is 7,725 nautical miles or 14,305 km. It is not clear how much fuel the aircraft was carrying though it would have been enough to reach its scheduled destination, Beijing, a flight of five hours and 50 minutes, plus some reserve.

an official delegate, of the OBU, and one member, an official of the IWW. The One Big Union was represented by an official delegation composed of three members of its executive board, headed by its General Secretary, R. B. Russell. The convention met in the Labor Temple, headquarters of the American Federation of Labor in Toronto.
The proposed aim of the convention, set forth in the welcoming keynote speech prepared by the Provisional Central Committee, was to establish a Marxist party which, while prevented by law from affiliating to the Communist International, would be guided in its activities by the policies of the International and its resolutions and decisions as adopted from time to time. A party which would dedicate itself to the task of helping the working classthe traditions of the left in the working-class movement in Canada and which contradicted violently, the then-prevailing attitude of its most vocal representatives. The general political expression of that contradiction was the proposal that the convention should call upon all revolutionary workers to unite in a brad systematic campaign to replace the disunity and internecine warfare which characterized the movement at the time, by a united front of the working class. Our draft resolution followed closely the line of the appeal that had been issued by the Executive Committee of the Communist International following the third world congress. Partly because of that, the majority of delegates were prepared to endorse that resolution without debate. It must be admitted that few of them recognized in full the logic of

A Small Town Near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust
$ 22.29
Quantity
The Silesian town of Bedzin lies a mere twenty-five miles from Auschwitz; through the linked ghettos of Bedzin and its neighbouring town, some 85,000 Jews passed on their way to slave labour or the gas chambers.
The principal civilian administrator of Bedzin, Udo Klausa, was a happily married family man. He was also responsible for implementing Nazi policies towards the Jews in his area - inhumane processes that were the precursors of genocide. Yet he later claimed, like so many other Germans after the war, that he had 'known nothing about it'; and that he had personally tried to save a Jew before he himself managed to leave for military service. A Small Town Near Auschwitz re-creates Udo Klausa'sstory. Using a wealth of personal letters, memoirs, testimonies, interviews and other sources, Mary Fulbrook pieces together his role in the unfolding stigmatization and degradation of the Jews under his authoritiy, as well as the heroic attempts at resistance on the part of some of his victims. She also gives us a fascinating insight into the inner conflicts of a Nazi functionary who, throughout, considered himself a 'decent' man. And she explores the conflicting memories and evasions of his life after the war.
But the book is much more than a portrayal of an individual man. Udo Klausa's case is so important because it is in many ways so typical. Behind Klausa's story is the larger story of how countless local functionaries across the Third Reich facilitated the murderous

By the fourteenth century there were four major monastic orders: the Benedictines, the Cluniacs, the Carthusians and the Cistercians. The three later orders began as reform movements. Most monastic movements began with the intention of reflecting the austere life of the desert monks of the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries, but over time they became increasingly remote from their origins and there would come a point when someone would think that things needed to change.
The Benedictines
The Benedictines dated from the sixth century and they were the dominant order from the ninth century on. Their way of life was based around the Rule of St Benedict. They lived in community, slept in dormitories and ate together in a refectory. Each monastery was an independent entity under the control ofits abbot. The monks wore black habits.
Throughout the Dark Ages the Benedictines managed to keep scholarship and liturgical worship going. Their abbeys were centres of learning throughout the Middle Ages.
In England they became rich and powerful, owning vast swathes of land.
The Rule was very flexible and its practitioners eventually came to be seen as lax, both by monks and by people outside the monasteries.
The Cluniacs
The first reform movement began with the abbey at Cluny in 910. It was founded by William the Pious, duke of Aquitaine. One of the major differences from the Benedictines was that the abbot of Cluny controlled all the daughter houses. Everything was centralised, and English or French monks owed their allegiance to Cluny rather than to church authorities in their own countries.

had an elaborate liturgy and the architecture of their buildings was extravagant. They also wore more expensive clothing than that worn by other monks. Their focus was on prayer and they did little manual labour.
Their first English house was founded in 1077 at Lewes. Wenlock Priory, pictured above, was a Cluniac house.
The Carthusians
The Poor Brothers of God of the Charterhouse were founded in 1085 by St Bruno of Cologne. They did not have their own rule, but followed the Benedictine Rule in a different way. Their way was austere. These monks were silent and they fasted for much of the time. They took vows of austerity, humility and silence.
The monks slept in cells rather than in dormitories, reflecting a desire to return to the roots of the deserthermits. Each cell had its own garden and each monk had a patch of land to cultivate. For three days a week they were allowed only bread and water. On other days they had fish, eggs and vegetables. They usually ate alone, but ate together on feast days.
The monks met together only for Mattins, Lauds and Vespers. They celebrated the other liturgical hours alone in their cells.
Each house contained a prior and twelve monks with eighteen lay brothers. These last looked after the crops and animals belonging to the house. The Carthusians wanted to avoid a priory growing too large or becoming too well endowed.
Their monasteries were called charterhouses and the first one in England was built in 1178.

way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
32And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
33But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
34And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
35And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatevermore is needed.
36Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
37And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
38Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
39And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
40But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
