facial differences. But it is not just the physical differences in race that provokes this intolerance, but cultural differences also, particularly 'religion' and 'sexual orientation'.
On other worlds where Humanoids have flourished in much different, more extreme climates and planetary makeup, there are even more distinct physical differences then we see amongst the population on this planet. The differences are so extreme in some instances a Homo-sapiens from a different world may not even be recognizable to the population of this planet as Human.
As time has passed since the near extinction of mankind on this planet, the genetic makeup of mankind on this planet has become more diverse. The fact that the gene pool has increased on this world leaves only one explanation, the introduction of 'outside' DNA. Itstop the damaging effects on future generations, but he must be very careful to maintain the integrity of the Human species on this world.
It is possible some of these 'galactic visitors', on occasion, have presented a piece of their advanced civilization's knowledge to the inhabitants of this world. Not all 'little pushes' on this planet have come at the hands of the Eternals.
Most noteworthy of one of these alien 'little pushes', may be the introduction of and scientific knowledge of, nuclear reaction to the indigenous people on this planet. Nuclear fission and fusion were meant to advance our society for clean energy production and diminish the reliance on fossil fuels, affording a better life for the populous and the well being of the planet's ecosystem.

still 15 or 20 feet from the surface, I could hold my breath no longer as my lungs were burning. Try as I might, I could not help but finally inhale a large quantity of water into my lungs. As I did so I realized in my mind I was going to die, but there was nothing I could do about it but accept it as my destiny. I remember being very afraid of death, I didn't want to die and I was feeling sorry for myself and how stupid I had been by going down so far, it seemed there was nothing I could do but accept it. My kicking legs slowly quit moving and I went limp as everything went dark.
I have no conscious memory ofthe same as my NDE in 2000, I felt comfort, love and complete peace. I couldn't feel the water anymore and my lungs were not burning any more, it was like I was in this protective cocoon. I then felt what I thought were 'hands' on the bottom of my feet and I was thinking; 'Who is that?'
I was suddenly thrust upwards to the surface of the water at a tremendous speed. I came to the surface so fast that I literally flew out of the water like a porpoise, and suddenly my lungs were burning again. I was chocking, trying to clear the water from my lungs and take in a breath.
After much spitting, gagging and terror, I was finally able to get some air into my

entire front parts of the vehicles but only a portion thereof. These off-center impacts are the most dangerous since only a portion of the energy-absorbing deformable parts are involved in the collision. As a result, deformation reaches the insides of the occupant-holding front compartments of the vehicles. It is in these cases, which are the most common statistically, accounting for more than 70% of front collisions, that the wheels of the vehicles play an aggravating role in the consequences of the collisions.
The rims of the wheels, which are designed to withstand the considerable forces of normal use, are practically non-deformable and at the time of such an impact break into the inside of the vehicle where the occupants are located. This is true of the front wheels, whichgenerally injure the lower limbs of the occupants seated in the front of the vehicle, but it is true also of the rear wheels and, when it is placed horizontally in the rear trunk or front compartment of the vehicle, the spare wheel.
The penetration of the wheels into the inside of the vehicle also weakens its rigidity, which is already relatively slight. This worsens the deformations due to the impact.
The consequences of this penetration of the wheels are rarely directly fatal but a very large number of accidents would be less serious if it could be avoided.
Automobile manufacturers, conscious of this danger, provide various solutions. For example, Renault reinforces with a bracket the path the wheels might take and Mercedes Benz protects the feet of the driver with

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Arsenal from Southampton in August 2011
Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has turned down a move to Chelsea after the Premier League clubs agreed a £40m fee.
Oxlade-Chamberlain believes the Blues planned to use him at wing-back, and his primary reason for wanting to leave Arsenal is to play in central midfield.
The 24-year-old England international wants to move to Liverpool and the Anfield club are interested in a deal.
A bid is expected before Thursday's transfer deadline, although it will be short of the £40m Chelsea offered.
Should a move not transpire, Oxlade-Chamberlain will see out the final year of his contract before potentially leaving on a free transfer next summer.
Arsenal want any deal for the former Southampton midfielder completed as quickly as possible.
Oxlade-Chamberlain hasthe Wolf River in Harrison County, Mississippi. The Moores gained access to their property by using an old road that provided the only all weather passage to their land. This road travelled over land owned by others to a public roadway. The Moores used the old road to access their property without interruption until Chester and Sedley Alpaugh, of New Orleans, Louisiana, purchased the property that the old road traversed in 1983. At such time, the Alpaughs informed the Moores that they could no longer use the road for vehicular traffic. As a result, the Moores filed suit in Harrison County Chancery Court to establish that they had an easement by prescription over and across the Alpaugh property. To effect service of process on the defendants, a copy

of the summons was posted on the door of the Alpaughs' Harrison County weekend retreat on February 12, 1984. On March 2, 1984 the Alpaughs filed a motion to dismiss objecting to the jurisdiction of the court. On March 7, 1984, the Alpaughs answered the complaint, counter-claimed against the Moores and once again objected to the jurisdiction of the court due to invalid service of process. Without opinion, the trial court denied the Alpaughs' motion to dismiss for insufficient service of process on February 19, 1987. After a trial on the merits, the lower court granted the Moores *293 an easement by necessity over and across the Alpaugh property and also found that an action to establish a private right of way under Miss. Code Ann. § 65-7-201of the following modes: First-Upon the defendant personally, if to be found in the county, by handing him a true copy of the process.
Second-If the defendant cannot himself be found in the county, then by leaving a true copy of the process at his usual place of abode, with his wife or some other person of his family above the age of sixteen years, and willing to receive such copy.
Third-If the defendant cannot himself be found, and if no person of his family aged sixteen years can be found at his usual place of abode who is willing to receive such copy, then by posting a true copy on a door of the defendant's usual place of abode.

The automobile Hughes was following passed the third car and returned to its proper lane, at which point Hughes observed a truck approaching from the opposite direction, leaving him with insufficient room to continue passing and regain his proper lane. He applied the brakes and the car swerved and started to skid sideways down the highway. Hughes was thrown against the left-hand door, which opened, precipitating him out on the highway. Appellant, also, was thrown to her left and out the door, thereby sustaining injury. There was no collision with any other car. The speed at which Hughes was driving in the attempt to pass was estimated by him at 60 to 65 miles per hour, by Jerry Hess at 60 to 65,discussed by counsel.

aware of the position of the First District Court of Appeal that an equitable distribution of the parties' marital assets should begin with an equal division. Trial court decisions departing from the end result of an equal division of the marital assets are often overruled. However, when a trial judge is confronted with the factual scenario of a relatively short-term marriage coupled with the marital decisions these parties made relative to homemaking and income producing responsibilities, and when the marital assets do support an unequal distribution in order to achieve the goals of providing for the Wife's economic support while encouraging her to develop interests outside her family in order to focus on the quality of her life after her children have grown and developed their own independentplan apparently worked well, satisfying both parties until the petitioner filed his *55 suit to dissolve the marriage. A suit to end the marriage doesn't automatically end the responsibilities each has to the other and the offspring of the union.
The essential plan of the parties concerning their children should continue regardless of their marital status, if such is possible. It was decided by both parties, in better times, that the wife should be a full time mother; the husband has the means to see that objective fulfilled. So it shall be.
By the time the youngest child reaches an age at which the respondent wife might attempt to return to the job market, be it secretarial or as an actress, she will be close to fifty years old, a

Rodney Transportation was located near the docks in Hell's Kitchen, Fifty-fifth Street between Eleventh and Twelfth Avenue. The garage was a ten-minute walk from my rooming house at Fifty-first and Eighth. The boss/day dispatcher was a bad-tempered black guy, a mean little runt-prick named Shorty Smith.
Cabbies start early. Before dawn. My first day hacking I walked into the freezing garage where two hundred yellow cabs were parked. I waited in the long lineneeded some kind of medication; Prozak or Elavil or lithium. One of those. Other people on my ward who took mood stabilizers had my same symptoms. Jack refused to give me anything to help so I got up and walked out.

ME AND MY rooming-house manager, Bert, had always gotten on fairly well. Bert was part Indian. American Indian. Big and mean but he liked me because we both drank whiskey and we were both fans of the New York Mets.
He'd arrived in Manhattan five years before me with his old lady Angel-Lee and their two kids. At the time the couple met and started a relationship he was forty-one, Angel was nineteen. She had been a dancer, the prettiest black girl in Fort Smith.

A conventional cord winder, used for winding the steel cord from the cord braiding machine around a spool, comprises a movable guider which is operated by a lead screw to reciprocate within a predetermined range while guiding the steel cord from the braiding machine to a spool, thus allowing the cord to be evenly wound around the spool. The cord winder also has two stocks, a head stock and a tail stock. The two stocks rotate the spool while holding both ends of the spool during a cord winding operation of the winder. The movable guider and the two stocks are held on a winder body.
In the conventional cord winder, only one spool is installed at a designated position between the two stocks, and soMédan.

Moreover the timber supports were already sagging and beginning to crack. Long, pale gashes could be seen in some of them where they had already split through the middle, like crutches unequal to the task. They had to be careful not to get caught on the jagged edges; and as this slow collapse proceeded overhead, crushing the round oak props that were as thick as a man's thigh, they had to crawl forward on their bellies while all the time wondering anxiously if they were suddenly going to heareldest had left home, the old man could scarcely move his legs any more: soon they'd all be dead. Alzire threw her arms round her mother's neck, appalled by her tears. Estelle was wailing, Lénore and Henri sobbed.
And soon, from all over the village, the same cry of anguish went up. The men were back now, and every household was grieving over the catastrophe of their depleted pay. Doors opened, women appeared, screaming into the open air as though their laments could not be contained beneath the ceilings of their cramped homes. A fine drizzle was falling, but they didn't feel it as they called out to each other from the pavements and held out the palms of their hands to show how little money they had received.

said under his breath. 'Where on earth have all these blackguards come from?'
It was indeed true that anger and starvation had combined, after the past two months of suffering, and this wild stampede from pit to pit, to turn the placid features of the Montsou miners into the ravenous jaws of wild beasts. At that moment the sun was setting, and its last rays of dark-crimson light were turning the plain blood red. The road seemed to flow with blood as the men and women raced past, and they too appeared to drip with blood, like butchers in the midst of slaughter.

'That's all very fine, Father,' she said. 'But you're only saying that because you've fallen out with the bourgeois...All our other priests used to dine with the manager, and then they'd threaten us with hell-fire the moment we asked for bread.'

But then a scuffle broke out. In order to calm his men's nerves the captain had decided to take some prisoners. La Mouquette jumped up in an instant and darted away between the comrades' legs. Three miners, including Levaque, were seized from among the worst troublemakers and placed under guard in the deputies' office.
From up above Négrel and Dansaert were shouting at the captain to come in and take refuge with them. He refused, aware that the doors had no locks and that when the buildings were stormed he wouldno further hope of rescue.
On emerging into the daylight Dansaert saw Négrel hurrying towards him. As luck would have it, Mme Hennebeau had kept him at home since first thing that morning because she wanted to look through some catalogues with a view to choosing some wedding presents for Cécile. It was now ten o'clock.
'So what's happening?' he shouted while still some way off.
'The pit's done for,' replied the overman.
He blurted out the story of the disaster, while the engineer listened in disbelief and gave a shrug. Who'd ever heard of tubbing coming apart of its own accord like that? They must be exaggerating, he would have to take a look.
'Presumably there's nobody still down there?'

With a powerful Hurricane Harvey pounding neighboring Texas, Louisiana officials are preparing for the possibility of days of flooding rain from the storm.
Gov. John Bel Edwards was scheduled to be briefed Saturday afternoon by state emergency officials. And he was to speak to the media afterward.
Bands of rain from Harvey were hitting Louisiana on Friday. Forecasters said the extreme southwestern part of the state could get 15 to 20 inches of rain over seven days. And officials urged vigilance in New Orleans, where problems with the drainage system were exposed during flash floods on Aug. 5.
The drainage system has been improved but officials say it is still not operating at full capacity.

I've been reading about what a surveillance state actually is. Remember Demolition Man? It's the movie with Sylvester Stalone and Sandra Bullock in which a cop from the past is brought to the future...anywho, this future is ruled by laws where people get tickets for saying the wrong words and other behavioral things. In other words, they don't get to have individual rights and therefore no individuality at all.While members of Congress refuse to admit that they are in the know on the NSA secret snooping program, it has all been done with the approval of congress, so it is not very likely that the truth is being told here.

Abendanon announced himself in Bath colours during the 2007-8 season, notching 10 tries in 24 appearances from fullback. Always willing to counter-attack, his form won him a debut England cap in June 2007 against South Africa. The game was of special significance as Abendanon was born in Johannesburg. He won a further cap in a Rugby World Cup warm-up game, but failed to make the 30-man squad for the tournament. He continued to produce with Bath and was included in the 2009 England Saxons squad to contest the Churchill Cup in the USA. In 2010 he signed a new deal with Bath despite interest from the new Melbourne Rebels Super Rugby franchise.Two women were cut with a knife and two women were arrested after a fight broke out at a family reunion at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston on Aug. 30.

To look at the cover of the first twelve issues of Elska Magazine is to get a kaleidoscopic glimpse at queer men from around the globe.
A bespectacled young man in a tee with a loud floral print stares at us while blurred Welsh flags hang in the background. A tattooed guy in just his swim shorts is framed by windows that look out onto the Toronto skyline. A mustachioed man in just a white t-shirt, jeans, and a backwards cap stands in the middle of a busy cross street in Taipei. Each cover suggests the plurality inherent in the most utopian ideas of what a global queer community can look like.

We explore the intricate battle system in Square's upcoming RPG.
By Erik Brudvig
Square Enix's next role-playing game is nearly out for Xbox 360 and we finally got the opportunity to check out the game's battle system in localized English. The game stars Rush, a young fellow whose parents have left him in charge of his sister while they're off doing important research. Now I'm not saying that's bad parenting, but it clearly wasn't a good choice. His sister is promptly kidnapped and so Rush takes it upon himself to save her, presumably before his parents can ground him and take away his allowance.
We'll leave the rest of the story for you to learn while playing the game. It should suffice to say it involves mysterious artifacts

One fine day, er…night, when the breeze went savage once again, Shyam was already up on his feet. He tried waking up Kanto but unfortunately Kanto was too deep in a dream to wake up from. So he started out for the orchard alone.
It had become a regular affair for Shyam to go mango picking. He had become sort of a professional. At first he used to fill up his pockets with mangoes and run. But nowadays he was comfortable enough to bring a bag with him so that he could bag as many. It was just like shopping for him, except that there was no money involved. Also, he could pick as many as he wanted, andmagnanimous. Shaking off that thought, reaching there, he at once got down to business, and started filling up his bag with mangoes. There was an unusual amount of mangoes that lucky day, and he was silently thanking the wind lord for shaking the tree so profusely.
The Mango Tree Ghost
As he was about to pick his sixth mango, a streak of bright light fell like snow right next to his mango. Stupefied he tried to look up to see what it was. To his surprise there were tiny balls of fire making their way down towards him. It was raining fire on him. Before he could make sense into what was happening, something hooted in the background.

list of the countries with the largest Christian populations in the world in 2005, 2025 and 2050 reveals Christianity as less European and Northern and increasingly more Southern, except for the U.S., which remains at the top of the list across these 45 years. Between 1900 and 2050 Western countries gradually fall off of the list while countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa are added to the list. When you compare these Christian country lists with countries with the most Muslims, India and Nigeria occur in significant positions on both lists–as two of the top Christian and Muslim countries in the world.
A map that I published in April 2004 in the International Review of Mission illustrates the trajectory of the statistical center of gravity of Christianity acrossits entire history. This statistical center was in Asia Minor for the first thousand years, then in Europe for approximately a thousand years, and since 1900 it shifts decidedly to the Southern hemisphere. As it turns out, the statistical center of Christianity today is in Timbuktu, Mali. In raw percentages, shown on the accompanying graph, Christians were equally divided between North and South for the first 1000 years. However, by 1500, 92 percent of Christians were Europeans. Today 60 percent of all Christians are non-Europeans and Americans.

Caleb told us about a place he knew under a bridge. We walked for a long time and climbed through a fence, that only our slim bodies could be squeezed through, then down on a ledge at the bottom of the rock wall right by the channel where all the boats passed by. We waved at some of them and eventually found ourselves under the big rumbling bridge. The bright sun reflected on the water and threw a surreal light into our cathedral.

The Hole he found at the corner of a park right by the street, a fence hid an overgrown staircase leading deeply down to an old bomb shelter closed by an enormous metal door with hinges larger than our heads. We walked up and down the stairs, barely talking occasionally, and sometimes resting on the railing. Tried not to burn ourselves

Only a few years later he bought the building next door to expand further. We have grown with Atlanta and are proud and prospering in the same buildings for 40 years later.collar by one of the men and a pocket knife was pointed at him. He was compelled to give them the money he had in his pocket which was the sum of .35 or .40 cents. They looked at his billfold which was empty.
After the robbery the victim immediately went to his foreman and reported the occurrence. A police officer was summoned and Haslip gave him a description of the two men. An hour or so later the police officer saw two men answering that description just north of 2nd Street and Jefferson. He placed them under arrest for vagrancy and brought them back for identification by the victim. The two men identified by the victim that night were the appellants, Collins and Chipps.

Kogami wakes up from a nightmare of finding his friend's mutilated dead body. Meanwhile, Akane tries to find out more about Kogami, first by asking Kagari, who doesn't really know much, and then Shion, who does know something. Apparently, while investigating a seemingly unconnected crime, Kogami, who was still an inspector at the time, lost one of his enforcers to a criminal. The criminal was fond of mutilating the bodies of his victims, stuffing them and then putting them on public display. The incident caused Kogami's crime coefficient index to spike to dangerous levels, prompting the bureau to demote him to enforcer.
In another meanwhile, Gino interrogates the drone plant criminal and finds out that someone else gave him the program to make the drone attackThe AIM-listed commercial flooring manufacturer achieved revenues of £109m in the period, down from £117.7m in the same period in 2011.

Projects undertaken during the period included the European Space Agency facility in French Guyana and the Plevin Library in Bulgaria.
Halstead blamed its lower revenues on the closure of its non-core Phoenix Distribution business, which sold motorcycle accessories, changes in exchange rates and a decline in overseas flooring revenues, particularly from Australia and the Middle East.

their control
is their response to
that circumstance,
is their attitude.
And Dr. Frankel has come up
with a mathematical equation
that explains the
power of perspective.
Because in the
concentration camps
he saw a lot of
suffering, suffering
that was so bad that some
people sought to commit suicide
because they despaired.
And Dr. Frankel said,
early on in his time
at the concentration
camps he decided
he would never kill himself.
Moreover, would he
not commit suicide,
but he was going to try to
dissuade his fellow prisoners
from doing that.
And he discovered the way to try
to convince them not to despair
was to help them find meaning.
And so his mathematical
equation was this.
D equals S, minus M. Despair
is suffering without meaning.
He recognized, in the present
circumstances removing
the suffering was
near impossible,
but he could decrease
despair to the extent
that he increased meaning.
And Dr. Frankel, years after
coming out of the concentration
camps, cites an example where
this equation,in a sense,
was brought to life
with a young teenager he
learned about in Texas who
had become a quadriplegic.
A lot of times when
people are asked,
imagine if you were
suddenly paralyzed,
would you want to keep living?
And when we're not in that
state we think, no, I wouldn't.
Well, Dr. Frankel cites
an example of someone
who found herself
not being asked
that question in a hypothetical,
but that was reality.
She became quadriplegic.
She would spend her
days watching the news,
reading the news,
and whenever she
came across a story
of someone who
was going through a very
difficult time, of someone who
was suffering in
some way, she would
ask an assistant
to bring a stick
and place it in her mouth.
She would then use
that stick, bend over
to press keys on a keyboard
so she could write letters
of encouragement to the people
she'd read about in the news.
And Dr. Frankel said her life

Campbell was caught while he was using a 'highly sensitive computer' at the healthcare facility.

Commonwealth had established defendant's future dangerousness beyond a reasonable doubt. The presentence report revealed ten convictions for breaking and entering, all involving theft and the destruction of property.
With regard to his juvenile record, there was ample evidence of defendant's propensity to acquire firearms. In March 1979, while defendant was a juvenile, he broke into a car and stole cigarettes, money, and a pistol. A few weeks later, defendant got angry with some trash collectors and responded by getting his father's rifle and pointing it at the men. A short time later, defendant broke into a neighbor's home and stole a pistol and the neighbor's car.
In late December 1979, defendant's mother discovered him behind the home shooting a shotgun and a 30.06 rifle. She confronted defendant and an argumentensued. The mother left home and defendant took a shotgun and $40 and ran away. He was found in a stolen car. In June 1980, following an incident in which defendant was punished by his father and stepmother because a match was found in the commode, defendant went into a neighbor's house, stole some guns, and hid the guns in defendant's backyard.
The evidence concerning defendant's assault on his stepfather was introduced through the stepfather's testimony. The incident occurred in 1985. Defendant's stepfather testified that as he entered a building owned by his parents, defendant struck him on the back of his head with a crowbar. Defendant, wielding a knife, then chased his stepfather around a table demanding money. The stepfather locked himself in a bathroom while defendant searched

the child, vacillating during the departure, or hesitating to separate. The parent's anxious behavior may also include returning to school to pick up the child after having left the classroom in response to the teacher's call about a child's protest. Often, parents return to touch, pick up, or hug and kiss the protesting child. These well-intended parental behaviors provide attention contingent on the child's protests, therefore strengthening them. In turn, during the transaction the child simultaneously trains the parent to behave this way, by stopping the protests contingent on the parent delaying departures, cutting short separations, or taking the child back home. Thus, parents' behavior problems and anxiety responses can result from children's responses during the transactions. The serious situation of COVID-19 virus transmission exacerbates all these scenarios,from their children at all times, most specifically in light of the virus's risks of infection.
To minimize separation distress, parents could program with teachers controlled visits to the child's classroom when the child has not recently protested and has remained there for varyingly longer periods. On each of these occasions, after parents drop off the child at school or classroom, the situation would be less stressful if the parent departs from the setting in a straightforward manner and is reassured by school personnel that the situation is under control. At the beginning of the separation episode, the classroom teacher in charge should provide reassurance to children that their parents will come back to pick them up at the end of the day.

Lessons of the Bronx Hospital murder: We need to control the criminally insane
Spoiler Alert: the criminally insane are dangerous and we the people need the means to protect ourselves in public places. Arguing about murder weapons is a dangerous distraction.
The first lesson is that American trauma care is nothing short of amazing and saved the lives of six victims. The rapid availability of treatment were crucial to their survival.
Second, the New York SAFE Act, which limited magazine capacity and common features on common rifles, was completely ineffective. It focused on cosmetic features which frighten liberals who have little to no understanding of weapons. The killer had gasoline with him. If he had started a fire in a crowded hospital with bed ridden patients it would have been muchworse.
Third, the provisions of the SAFE Act which gun owners support, i.e. keeping guns away from the criminally insane, also failed. SAFE requires mental health workers to report to the authorities any patient who was likely to be dangerous. While this provision prohibits about 34,500 people in New York from owning guns, it did not stop the killer who openly threatened to murder his co-workers from buying a rifle in New York.
Fourth, the New York City gun requires 100% registration and licensing of all forearms. These laws absolutely prohibit possession of registered guns out side of the owners home or an approved gun range. This makes the entire city a gun free zone and has been highly successful in disarming the law abiding. Criminals? Not so much. The

the complaints from the gun community is that when prohibited persons attempt to purchase guns, the ATFE is instantly aware of it and the crime is almost never prosecuted.
The Anderson Manufacturing model AM-15 rifle used by the killer, fully complied with the SAFE act restrictions. It fires a .223 caliber round. This means the bullet is .223 inches in diameter. This round is considered anemic by hunters and in most states, it is illegal to hunt deer or large game with .223. This is borne out by the fact that six of seven people shot at very close range survived. A box cutter would have been more effective.
The killer had three 10 round magazines. His ability to kill was unaffected by magazine restrictions, he needed less than tenThe Kurdish Referendum: Regional and Global Implications
International

By Sanjal Shastri
The referendum conducted in Iraqi Kurdistan sparked of a barrage of responses from actors across the globe. Though this is a non-binding referendum, the global response to it is an indication of its implications for the region and the wider world.
The initial concern regionally is for the territorial integrity and stability of the Iraqi state. When the ISIS initially took over Mosul in 2014, analysts were predicting the trifurcation of Iraq. New, more than two years on, the referendum proves that this is not a far-fetched idea. At a time when the Iraqi government is focusing of defeating the ISIS threat, the referendum further weakens the territorial integrity of Iraq. Now the government is facing the possibility of a battle

on two fronts. Wresting control of the Kurdish region would involve a confrontation with the Peshmerga. This is something the Abadi government cannot afford at this stage.
The demand for a Kurdish nation transcends the boundaries of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey. Along with Iraq, the referendum would have serious implications for Kurdish separatist movements in Syria, Turkey and Iran. The Turkish government is particularly concerned with the recent developments as it is fighting a Kurdish insurgency of its own. The referendum is bound to embolden the Kurdish separatists in Turkey. Therefore, President Erdogan was swift to condemn the referendum and commence military drills at the Turkish border with Iraqi Kurdistan.
Similarly, Iran was also swift to condemn the referendum and throw its weight behind the Abadi government. Similar toTurkey, Iran has a sizeable population of Kurds who would be encouraged by the developments. An independent Kurdistan in any form would be the last thing Turkey, Iran, Iraq or Syria would want. Therefore, the referendum is bound to have significant impact in Iraq's immediate neighbourhood.
Regionally, the referendum comes at a time when all attention is being focused on the battle against ISIS. Kurdish groups have been important in pushing back ISIS in parts of Norther Iraq and Syria. On one hand the question is how will the referendum impact Kurdish groups fighting the ISIS in Syria? Until now there has been some element of cooperation between the regional and international powers and the Kurdish separatists. With the referendum, Turkey and Iraq are likely to pressurise the US

The transcuticular absorption process is the main route of penetration for different drugs in nematodes and cestodes. However, oral ingestion is a main route of drug entry into adult liver flukes. Among other factors, the route of administration may substantially affect the pharmacokinetic behaviour of anthelmintic molecules and modify their efficacy. Oral administration improves drug efficacy against nematodes located in the gastroinestinal tract especially if parasites have a reduced susceptibility. Partitioning of the drug between gastrointestinal contents, mucosal tissue and the target parasite is important to enhance the drug exposure of the nematodes located in the lumen of the abomasum and/or small intestine.

A US Navy veteran who served on the famous USS Nimitz has revealed how he once spotted a gigantic two-mile-wide UFO hovering over a military base.
The aircraft carrier became a household name in 2017 after incredible footage of a UFO being chased by fighter pilots from the ship was leaked online.
It sparked a huge number of US Navy pilots to come forward with their encounters, including Lee Adams.
Lee served as a supply officer on the USS Nimitz between 2012-2015, eight years after the infamous tic-tac incident.
And, while he never witnessed the UFOThe drug problem in The Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, the drug problem among adolescents developed as a new phenomenon in the mid 1960s. Without remarkable success, methadone maintenance programs were introduced in 1968. Drug free treatment in therapeutic communities, developed since 1972, was successful after the first experimental years. This success provoked the illusion that drug related problems could be solved by treatment; low threshold programs, putting few demands on participants, were established to dispense methadone. The illusion was that addicts can be motivated into further treatment if they are brought into contact with professionals. As the addict population kept growing and their street crimes increased in number, Dutch drug policies changed in 1978, using methadone as a means to decrease criminal activities rather than to treat addicts.

to ensure success in his ultimate career goals. To facilitate this, a reduction in his clinical and educational responsibilities is proposed to provide him with 75% protected research time. Dr. Idrovo has access to excellent research facilities and equipment to complete all proposed studies. With these changes in protected time, along with the complete support of his Department Chair and Section Chief, he will have adequate time and mentorship to successfully complete the proposed studies, follow through with his career development plan and effectively align himself to launch his career as an independent scientist.29, 1980, however, it was ordered that the matter proceed on Montoya's individual claim and the issue of class action status was reserved.
I. BACKGROUND FACTS.
Plaintiff is a Spanish-surnamed citizen of the United States. His educational background includes bachelor of science degrees in electrical engineering and accounting. Additionally, he has taken engineering and management courses throughout his professional career. He began his employment with the United States Air Force in 1966 as a GS-11 Electrical Engineer at HQ NORAD/ADCOM in Colorado Springs, and was soon promoted to General Engineer in the Requirements Division, a GS-12 position.
In 1972, foreseeing no opportunity for near term promotion at the Colorado Springs base, Montoya accepted a tour of duty in Germany where he held the GS-13 position of Electrical Engineer in the Requirements

the Requirements Division, timely expressing his interest in the Chief of Requirements position, and asking that he be considered for the job.
Defendant's second explanation also lacked credibility. While the defendant claimed to prefer a lateral transfer to hiring someone from outside the division, a new employee was hired to fill the vacancy created by the lateral transfer. Finally, testimony was offered by the former Chief of Requirements stating that Montoya, who previously had worked under him, was far more qualified for the position than the Anglo who was appointed.
B. Joint Surveillance Systems Supervisor.
When the plaintiff learned that the position of Joint Surveillance Systems Supervisor was to open, he met with the person then holding that job and with Colonel Rubenstein, who was to select the person to fillpersonal patronage.
C. Chief of Construction Division Position
When the Chief of Construction Division position opened, it appeared to be one for which Montoya was eminently qualified. The original job description was for a General Engineer, and for the previous ten years the position had been filled by a General Engineer. The responsibilities and duties were very similar to those Montoya had performed in Europe. However, after he submitted his application, Montoya was notified that he would not be considered for the position because the job requirements had been changed. Applicants were now required to have a degree in civil engineering, even though the duties and responsibilities of the job remained unchanged. Since the plaintiff's degree was in electrical engineering instead of civil engineering, he was disqualified from further consideration.

WAPA and served throughout the entire base. South Dakota's division of the State into franchised utility areas and its authorization to the Commission to regulate electric service based on those assigned service areas was made long after it lost jurisdiction over the territory.3 Thus, South Dakota had no authority to include the federal enclave in its assigned service territories for the purpose of exerting control over sales of electric service that are consummated within federal territory.
12
The Commission justifies regulating the United States' ability to use competitive bidding to obtain electrical service by stating the following:
13
While the Commission herein does not attempt to exercise any jurisdiction over the United States through its operations through Ellsworth at the Base, the Commission does exert its jurisdiction over BlackHills, Heartland and West River in determining who has the right to furnish electric service to the Base. Even if that part of the Base which was ceded to the United States is not within the jurisdiction of the Commission, that part of the Base which was not ceded to the United States is under the Commission's jurisdiction, and in order to control the delivery of electric power and energy which is commingled and served throughout the entire Base, it is necessary for the Commission to control the whole.
14
PUC Decision at 8.
15
We reject this analysis. First, as the district court noted, the Commission cannot avoid a clear constitutional barrier to state regulation of the enclave by claiming that it is only exercising jurisdiction over the supplier.

Kenya: Austrian's Rape Case Goes to Ninth Magistrate
A case against five suspects charged with gang-raping an Austrian aid worker during a robbery will now proceed before a ninth magistrate. The eighth disqualified herself from the proceedings yesterday after the suspects became unruly in court saying they did not expect any fairness in their trial. The seventh magistrate who was handling the case and of whom the suspects said they had confidence in has since resigned from the judiciary.
The magistrate, court heard, had released two of the suspects on bond but the decision was later challenged and overturned on the grounds they had compromised her. The five suspects are charged with sexually assaulting the social worker at the home Anne Valarie Leakey, an ex-wife of Phillip Leakey, the onepictures London, England Reuters World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Manila, Philippines Getty Images World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Manila, Philippines Getty World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Mosul , Iraq Getty World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Manila, Philippines AP World reaction to President Trump: In pictures New Delhi, India Reuters World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Karachi, Pakistan EPA World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Jakarta, Indonesia Reuters World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Lagos, Nigeria AP World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Kabul, Afghanistan AP World reaction to President Trump: In pictures Jerusalem.

he was working at the time of the accident. Upon trial the cause was submitted only under the theory of res ipsa loquitur. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in a substantial amount. Various motions were submitted by the defendant following the jury verdict, which were overruled by the trial court. From the judgment entered and the rulings adverse to the defendant it has appealed.
On August 24, 1954, the manager of the Commerce Building telephoned the Pioneer Iron Works in Sioux City and advised an individual connected with that company one of the support rods of the marquee on the building was rusted and asked that it be fixed. Thereafter, one of the owners of the Iron Works and the plaintiff, an employee of the company,got on top of the marquee which was some 16 feet above the street level. They checked the supporting connecting rod at the southwest corner. This rod was composed of two parts, one of which extended from the building proper down to and connecting with another rod that was embedded in the marquee. These rods were connected by interlocking eye-bolts at a point approximately 18 inches from the marquee roof. The owner of the Iron Works directed the plaintiff relative to what should be done to fix the supporting rods. No representative of the building company directed the plaintiff or his employer in regard to the manner in which the work should be done. The plaintiff was directed by his employer to weld a piece of metal across

The research conducted by the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Prince's Trust charity suggests the cost of youth unemployment could be as high as £155m a week.
While the latest government statistics show falls in unemployment and a shorter dole queue, today's analysis of the data suggests the headlines disguise the plight of jobless young people.
The number of 16-24-year-olds out of work for more than 12 months has almost doubled in two years to 232,000 - a 16-year high. The number claiming Job Seekers Allowance for over a year has more than trebled in the same period.

Microsoft has been battling with the federal government over the Department of Justice's high profile attempt to get access to emails stored abroad in Ireland for the better part of 2014. The US government has claimed a US warrant is sufficient to get emails even when stored in another country, while Microsoft has resisted, arguing the US warrant power does not reach that far. The case has made business rivals into temporary allies and forced Ireland's Minister for Foreign Affairs and Data Protection to ask the European Commission to formally support Microsoft.
Today we joined the Brennan Center for Justice, the ACLU, and The Constitution Project in a new amicus brief filed in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals supporting Microsoft. We warn the appeals court that two piecesof faulty logic in the lower court's reasoning could have dangerous implications for digital privacy.
Here's the background. In December 2013, the federal government applied for a search warrant to obtain the contents of emails and other details from a user account hosted by Microsoft. While the non-content data were stored in the United States, Microsoft discovered that the contents of the emails were stored on a server located in Dublin, Ireland. It refused to turn the emails over to the government, arguing that a US judge had no authority to issue a search warrant for records stored abroad. A federal magistrate judge disagreed with Microsoft in April 2014, ordering it to turn over the emails. Microsoft appealed that decision to a federal district court judge, and we filed

In this essay we will attempt to sketch the historical background of the early Irish Church, demonstrate its close relation to the Orthodox Church, introduce some of the most popular Irish saints, and conclude with a brief overview of Irish monasticism and theology.
Historical background
A cross on the ancient monastic island o fSkellig Michaeal, Ireland.
St Patrick is traditionally credited with organizing the Irish Church, although his activities were concentrated mainly in the northern province of Ulster. It is likely that St Patrick received his spiritual instruction in the south of France, at the monastery of Lérins. This great institution was founded by St Honoratus in 375, upon his return from Greece where he had become familiar with Orthodox Christian monasticism. Like many future, Irish monasteries, Lérins was situated ona small island. For the next three centuries Lérins would be a beacon of Orthodox spirituality in the midst of a worldly Latin environment. One of the great figures attached to Lérins was St John Cassian, who strove to preserve the Orthodox faith against deviations from sound doctrine by certain extreme followers of Blessed Augustine.
When St Palladius, St Patrick and their fellow evangelists came to Ireland there were more than a hundred kingdoms of varying size to be found on the island. The people of each kingdom were known as the tuath, while the king bore the title of ri. Society was highly organised and stratified, reminiscent of the Vedic caste system. At the top were the druids, bards, lawmen and doctors, while the slaves at the base

a slave into Ireland, where he worked as cattle-herd for his master in County Antrim for six years. There he lived among Christians, which further shows that Christianity was introduced into Ireland before Patrick. He eventually escaped and landed in an uninhabited land, possibly Brittany. Years later he returned to Britain, but he was called in a vision to return to the country of his enslavement for the sake of the Gospel.
According to legendary sources, while Patrick was in Gaul he visited the island monastery at Lérins, a famous centre of Orthodoxy in the West. Before returning to Ireland he was ordained at Auxerre, either by St Germanus or his predecessor St Amator. Patrick landed in Ireland in 432 at Saball near Wicklow and founded a church aboveStrangford Lough, where on Easter Saturday of 433 he lit a Paschal fire. After seven years of missionary travels over Ireland he spent the whole of Lent on a mountain in County Mayo, now known as Croagh Patrick. According to Roman Catholic tradition Patrick became the first bishop of Armagh, which by the eighth century had become the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. He reposed at Saball in 461 and was buried in Downpatrick, according to legend. His feast day is 17 March, and the earliest mention of its celebration dates from 670.
St Bridget
The best-loved Irish female saint, St Bridget, lived in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. Her veneration would become so popular that it rivalled that of St Patrick, until the eighth century when Armagh achieved

work among the Picts in Scotland, converting King Brude of the northern Picts and ordaining the Scottish king Aidan to the priesthood. As was the case in Ireland the Scottish Church was strongly monastic. The bishops were under the authority of Columcille, who was a priest and abbot. After his death the Scottish bishops still fell under the authority of the abbots of Iona.
The monastic settlement on Iona was characterized by communal possession of property, as well as humility and compassion. The latter extended towards animals as well, in agreement with the Irish love for the Creation. As was the case with thousands of Orthodox saints such as St Guthlac of Crowland, St Symeon the New Theologian or St Seraphim of Sarov, St Columcille was at times seento be radiating a divine, immaterial light. While at prayer the saint was seen surrounded by a heavenly light, descending and filling the entire church building. At other times St Columcille was seen with angels hovering about him, or with a column of light rising from his head. In Orthodox Christian theology, phenomena like these are ascribed to the uncreated energies of God, in which the saints through their exceeding holiness are allowed to participate.
St Columcille also played a key role in the establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom, granted at the Irish assembly at Drumceat around 575. Until that time the Scottish king was under Irish suzerainty, since the south of Scotland was colonized by Irish settlers who founded the kingdom of Dalraida around 490. Columcille was

in ancient times. It is one of four sites of the Kumbh Mela, an important mass Hindu pilgrimage.
History
Archaeological Findings
Excavations have revealed Iron Age of Northern Black Polished Ware in present-day Prayagraj. Archaeological sites in India, such as Kosambi and Jhusi near Prayagraj in present-day Uttar Pradesh show iron implements in the period 1800–1200 BC. When this area in the North Western part of India was first settled, Prayag was part of the territory of the Kuru tribe, although most of Doab was not settled and consisted of dense forests at that time.
Ancient Times
The Doab region, including Prayaga, was controlled by several empires and dynasties in the ages to come. It became a part of the Mauryan and Gupta empires of the east and the Kushan empire ofdistricts, Kaushambi and Allahabad district. From 16 October 2018 it is officially renamed as Prayagraj.
Historical and archaeological sites
Allahabad has many sites of interest to tourists and archaeologists. Forty-eight kilometres to the southwest, on the banks of the Yamuna River, are the ruins of Kaushambi, which was the capital of the Vatsa kingdom and a thriving center of Buddhism. On the eastern side, across the river Ganges and connected to the city by the Shastri Bridge is Pratisthan Pur, capital of the Chandra dynasty. About 58 kilometres northwest is the medieval site of Kara with its impressive wreckage of Jaichand of Kannauj's fort. Shringaverpur, another ancient site discovered relatively recently, has become a major attraction for tourists and antiquarians alike. On the southwestern extremity of Allahabad lies Khusrobagh; it

the Anglo-American colonists made one of their intentions completely clear in their prospective Constitution: they explicitly legalized slavery and slave importation.
The Mexican government never recognized the independence of Texas. Throughout the rest of the 1830s and the 1840s, it planned to retake the breakaway territory, even sending troops to briefly occupy Bexar, which later became better known as San Antonio. Numbers of loyalist Mexicans, Indians and Negroes supported the Mexican efforts to retake Texas, engaging in guerrilla skirmishes that lasted throughout the years of the Republic of Texas. On July 16, 1839, as a result of their rumored collaboration with Mexico, the Cherokees under Duwali were massacred at the Battle of the Neches and their survivors driven out of Texas, some into Mexico.
Slavery accelerated in size and densityin Texas. Between 1836, the year of independence, and 1840, the slave population doubled; it doubled again by 1845; and it doubled still again by 1850. In 1836, there was one black for every six whites; by 1847, it was one black for every three whites.
East Texas then, in the 1820s and 1830s, was the location of a world-historical nodal point, or crucial turning point in the development of what was to follow. It is in such nodal points of history that men and women struggle with and resolve the problems of their personal and public lives with varying degrees of consciousness of the historical issues at stake.
Texans today live with the historical consequences of those events: a still-subjugated black population; an unauthorized Mexican population of low-wage, off-the-books

That is not to say that he did not play for Shrewsbury as he was probably a member of the Reserve team with possibly an occasional first-team appearance as is often the case when someone is reputed to have played for a certain club. First team regulars are usually common knowledge.

Lindsay Lohan, who was recently sentenced to a 90-day jail term by a Beverly Hills judge, has checked herself into Pickford Lofts, a Los Angeles sober-living facility. PEOPLE reports that the actress, who is scheduled to begin serving her sentence next Tuesday, entered the facility, founded by former O.J. Simpson defense lawyer Robert Shapiro, on Wednesday of this week.
Shapiro has been active in the addiction community since his son Brent died of a drug overdose in 2005. He started The Brent Shapiro Foundation to promote alcohol and drug education and help individuals struggling with addiction get help.
Lohan, who was sentenced to jail for violating probation related to a DUI arrest, was reportedly visited the night before her arrival at Pickford by ex-girlfriend Samantha

and ushered out survivors, recalled the urgency to get to the plane being so great that while racing to the scene, he had to slow his patrol car to ensure a trailing ambulance wouldn't crash trying to keep up.
Meanwhile, an anticipated year-long federal investigation continues into the cause of the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board has reported that the aircraft was flying too low to the runway and well short of its targeted landing speed, and that by the time they realized this and decided to try another landing, the tail hit the sea wall, which broke the plane into pieces and sent it spinning into the runway, after which a fire broke out.
Investigators are exploring a variety of factors, but the information revealed so far hassuggested pilot error rather than mechanical failure, based on cockpit-voice and flight-data recorder information and the fact that the lead pilot was relatively inexperienced in operating the 777 and was making his first landing at SFO.
All three girls who died attended Jiangshan Middle School in Zhejiang, an affluent coastal province in eastern China, according to Chinese media. They were heading to a summer camp at West Valley Christian School in Los Angeles.

found for defendants. Thereupon plaintiff filed a motion for new trial and has appealed from the overruling thereof.
The accident in which appellant was injured happened on Thursday, August 4, 1955, about 7:15 p. m. at a point on U. S. Highway No. 6 in Hitchcock County which is a short distance east of Beverly, Nebraska, and about 50 to 100 feet west of a bridge located on said highway.
In the summer of 1955 appellee Arnold D. Gilchrist, his wife Frances, and their son, appellee Larry D. Gilchrist, who was then 19 years of age, were engaged in the business of custom combining wheat with an International self-propelled combine. The Gilchrists lived on a farm near Kingman, Kansas. They used a 2-ton Ford Cabover truck and a ¾-ton Dodge3-foot steel tongue fastened by a hitch to the rear thereof. However, the feeder housing extended out over the left side of the trailer, which had a 6½-foot wheel base. In fact, when the feeder bar was in place on the trailer it had an over-all width of more than 8 feet so a special permit was necessary to lawfully haul it over the public roads of Nebraska. Such a permit Frances Gilchrist obtained on August 3, 1955, from the proper authorities at Bridgeport, Nebraska. The main part of the combine was pulled on its own wheels by the Ford truck. The Gilchrists started for home on August 4, 1955. As they passed Beverly, Nebraska, going east, Frances Gilchrist was driving the Ford truck pulling the main part

of the combine. She was in the lead. Following her at a distance of not over 300 feet was the Dodge pickup, being driven by appellee Larry D. Gilchrist. Riding with Larry was Wendell Keller, a young man who had been helping the Gilchrists and who was returning to his home. He was a neighbor and good friend of Larry D. Gilchrist.
On August 4, 1955, appellant was helping his friend, Kenneth Daniher, move the furniture of Daniher's mother from McCook to Palisade, Nebraska. The furniture was loaded on two pickup trucks, one a ¾-ton 1953 Chevrolet and the other a ½-ton 1955 Ford. They left McCook with these loaded pickup trucks sometime between 6:15 and 6:30 p. m. on that day, Daniher driving the Chevrolet and appellant theFord. They proceeded on U. S. Highway No. 6 and as they approached Beverly, Nebraska, going west, the truck Daniher was driving was in the lead. It was some 2½ to 3 blocks ahead of the Ford.
The surface of the highway at the point involved was oil mat. It was 24 feet wide with a white line down the center thereof. The accident, which seriously and permanently injured appellant's left arm, resulted from the feeder housing, particularly a cast iron pulley located thereon, coming in contact with the left side of the Ford pickup truck appellant was driving. At the time of the accident the surface of the highway was dry and visibility good although the sun had either set or gone behind some clouds. At the place

government borrowing, that sows the seeds for many years of stagflation following the impact of the asset price deflation.
The Impact of the Crash in Sterling
Britain's living abroad reliant on UK earnings i.e. wages, interest or benefits paid in sterling are witnessing a fall in disposal income as the devaluation hits them directly in their pockets as the cost of living in sterling terms soars.

UK PLC loss of asset values - In addition to the headline falls of 16% for house prices and 40% for the stock market, investors should also bare in mind the 22%and the number officially claiming unemployment benefit rose by 25,600 in October to 970,000. This was followed by the Bank of England's report on inflation and the economy that stated that UK is heading for 2% GDP contraction for 2009 which is significant change to the existing forecasts of growth for 2009. With a three month lag in published data, the actual unemployment rate looks set to pass above 2 million by Christmas to be released in March 2009.
My UK unemployment forecast as the below graphs illustrate is for unemployment to rise to just above 2.5 million by April 2010, however a 2% GDP contraction forecast by the Bank of England for 2009 now implies that the UK is heading for a severe recession which implies UK unemployment

people are under-utilised - which means they are either not working or working less than they could.
There are fewer people with formal jobs, while wages are barely keeping up with inflation - which has been brutal. Since the beginning of Brazil's recession four years ago, prices have gone up by 25%.
3. The currency and stock market have dashed post-election hopes
During much of the election, the Brazil's currency - the real - rallied strongly as it became clear that Mr Bolsonaro would win the election.
It was a clear sign of confidence from investors abroad.
A poll by Bloomberg late last year among chief international strategists saw Brazil top the list of best bets in three categories: foreign exchange, bonds and stocks.
After almost five months, prospects are now bleak.
Both the stockexchange and the currency - which usually anticipate the pace in the real economy - are close to the same level they were at the beginning of this year.
Brazil's stock exchange hit an all-time high in March this year, but has returned most of its gains following disappointing corporate results.
4. Still mired in debt
So why is Brazil in such a mess in the first place?
The main consensus among market analysts - and also people in Mr Bolsonaro's government - is that the country started spending too much money around 2013, during the leftist government of Dilma Rousseff.
Since then, one of the main thermometers of Brazil's economy has been the fiscal deficit - the amount of money spent beyond the country's revenues.
Ms Rousseff was impeached amid allegations that she

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is the third installment in Namco Bandai's Budokai Tenkaichi series. The game was released for PS2 and Wii on December 3rd, 2007. It was notable for containing more Dragonball Z characters and content than any other game before it.
Best in the tenkaichi series
I have been a fan of dragonball Z since i can remember. I have played all games in the series with an addiction. I was totally looking forward to this years addition as they claim to have online play, which would work great with since it was so hard to play in split-screen from the behind the back view. They changed the game from a sad Wii port to something actually made for the console by actually mimicking motions insteadTuesday, 9 June 2009
After a great nights kip and a hearty breakfast we said farewell to our hosts and were on the water heading south by 8.30am.
Winds were very light and the Loch was calm.
As we headed down Loch Ness we passed the mouth of the River Morriston and, noting that it being Tuesday it would be running, a discussion ensued about a possible diversion. It was concluded that the boats were probably too long to make it around the first fall below the dam and in any case it was a hell of a long way up the road to the put in. We paddled on . . . .
After about 3 hours we reached Fort Augustus and having portaged the locks had a well earned breather

wind suddenly picked up to a bitterly cold NE F4 which helped to hasten our getting the tent up and some fresh clothes on before sorting out supper.
After a crow free nights kip we woke just before 6am and were pleased to discover that the tent was still in one piece. The night before we had returned from a trip into Rosemarkie to discover that another pole had broken and we now had a ridge tent. After a bit of fiddling with the tensioning straps we managed to improve the shape a bit but it was less than ideal.
We were on the water by 7.45am and headed into Inverness in glorious sunshine while all around the and was shrouded in rain. As we passed under the Kessock Bridgethe flooding tide picked up pace and whisked us rapidly to the Muirtown basin and the start of the Caledonian Canal.
There we were met by our resupply team armed with a box of food that we had left with them some weeks before plus two Karitek portage trolleys and some now much needed replacement tent poles that Vango had been able to supply at short notice.
The trolleys worked really well and we were soon at the top of the flight of locks and busy packing fresh supplies into the boats.
It was also a good opportunity to catch up with a number of friends from Inverness who had come along to the basin to see us.
The trip along the canal to the head of Loch Ness was fantastic in

this is your gift of the season.
Random notes regarding Christmas 2005 so far:
Every year I get better and better at the whole being prepared thing. The time I came back from Europe at the beginnin of December I was on the top of my game, having picked up all my gifts along the way and somehow managing to stuff them in my luggage. Suffice ot say there were many soft and light gifts given that year. And a lot of chocolate, which almost got sniffed out by the drug dog at the Montreal airport. This year there is no Europe, only on-line shopping, big box stores and some cute little independent shops in downtown Charlottetown. It's no Florence, but somehow I have managed to get about 75% ofour own. The rest of the patrons were 40 plus or underage and hoping the servers at the Roadhouse wouldn't care. The menu was not inspiring. I didn't eat anything, but wondered what Roadhouse Gourge would consist of.
Saturday was Myrtle's step class in the morning. Saturday afternoon was dedicated to helping out with the webcourse and making a blueberry pie for Sunday's feast. When Mom suggested the unthinkable -dinner at the Chinese Restaurant in Cornwall, I was surprisingly unenthusiastic. I mean really I should have jumped at the offer of a free meal at this restaurant which she and Jim had conveniently been frequenting on every occassion that I was out of the house. I had never stepped foot inside and was more than curious. ANywho, although surprisingly

people waiting in the rain -waiting to pay $5 to get inside St James Gate for the remaining hour! Oh dear me. Anyways, Becky decided she didn't want to wait so somehow she managed to sneak us into the line about a quarter of the way back and within ten minutes we were in. How did she do that??? I felt bad, but I wasn't in a position to argue, being cold & wet and too sober for my own good. The rest of the night was spent amongst throngs of old people and even older people bopping to songs such as The Night That Paddy Murphy Died and Sweet Home Alabama.
Sunday was the big Tom Turkey day.

Although she appears to have genuinely changed, she is rejected by Blair, Chuck, Dan and Serena who all do not take her seriously. Blair eventually uses her in a scheme that would have Poppy Lifton arrested after a Ponzi scheme she had concocted with Gabriel compromised Serena's reputation.

Though perhaps not as iconic as falafel or as sexy as shawarma, the schnitzel sandwich demonstrates that the surest way to rehabilitate something in Israel is simply to stuff it inside a pita.

Traditional schnitzel breading procedure calls for dredging the meat in flour, followed by a dip in egg wash and a final coating in bread crumbs. A common problem with breaded food is that steam gets between the meat and the breading and drives them apart. If you'veBy the end of the year, the abortion rate in both cities had halved.
The Norwegian Directorate of Health initiated the project after a previous project led to similar success. In 2002, Norwegian women aged between 16 and 19 were offered free hormone-based contraception. Abortion rates fell dramatically and reached their lowest level in 2005.
In 2006, after the authorities modified the scheme and introduced part-payment for hormonal contraception, the number of terminations among this age group began to rise again. Since then, the abortion rate among 16 to 19-year-olds has risen every year.

I wondered if this night would be like any of my dreams. The dreams that had been haunting me, but also enticing me for weeks now. With every dream I had I wanted him more and now I finally had him.
The only things left covering my body were my bra and panties. Patrick lay me down on the couch and came over me. I wrapped a leg around him and felt his arousal pressing against me. He was craving me as much as I was craving him. His lips were on mine once again and a growl erupted from his throat.wrong.

Smoking, alcohol and oral cancer in south east Scotland: a 10-year experience.
To examine the relationship of oral carcinoma to tobacco and alcohol consumption in patients referred over a 10-year period. Analysis of records obtained for the age of presentation, the tobacco and alcohol intake, the site and type of carcinoma. All patients with carcinoma of the mouth and associated structures referred to the Joint Onocology/Maxillofacial Clinic at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by General Medical and Dental Practitioners together with hospitals and hospital departments within South East Scotland. A total of 454 patients, with a mean age of presentation for males of 63.8 years, for females 68.0 years. 58% of those with carcinoma had a smoking history, with 24% drinking more than 20 units of alcohol per week. 60% ofMEMPHIS: GUARDS: The Grizzlies will scale back MIKE CONLEY's minutes a bit. He's a quality starting point guard, but seemed to lose some pep as last season wore on . . . TONY ALLEN figures to see more playing time now that O.J. Mayo is gone. He's an outstanding defender who will be the fifth option on offense . . . JERRYD BAYLESS figures to become the new sixth man and Allen platoon partner.

outside shooting after Ray Allen left and should challenge Paul Pierce for the team lead in shot attempts . . . Adding COURTNEY LEE was more of a move for the future. He's a fine young second-unit player for now and should be an heir apparent on one of the wings . . . AVERY BRADLEY could be out until December after shoulder surgery. As Boston's best perimeter defensive player, he could reclaim his starting job in the season's second half . . . The addition of LEANDRO BARBOSA gives Boston another veteran who can create his own offense in the second unit, something that was sorely missing in last year's playoff run. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE quietly had a great regular season last year. Though with some improveddepth behind him, Rivers might have his 35-year-old All-Star wing rest more often . . . BRANDON BASS gives them another scoring option, even if he does struggle on the defensive end. He'll get full-time minutes only in certain matchups as long as the frontcourt is healthy . . . JEFF GREEN's heart condition is no longer a concern, but the tweener's role in Boston after a year off is cause for worry . . . There are already question marks surrounding rookie JARED SULLINGER's back. He's very similar to Bass: He can score out to mid-range but doesn't play much defense. Expect him to be strictly a second-unit player in his first NBA season . . . CHRIS WILCOX will provide fouls off the bench when healthy.

to allow them to carry such heavy weight in what's supposed to be an overall valuation of a player.
Still, WAR does a good enough job of measuring best-of-the-best seasons, all of which show up in a search of 10-plus-WAR years. Dating back to 1900, there have been 50. Plenty of incredible players managed two straight. Honus Wagner. Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby. Ted Williams. Mickey Mantle. Willie Mays. Best of the best, for real.
Just two did it at least three straight seasons: Babe Ruth, from 1926-28, and Barry Bonds, from 2001-04. And just one wasn't loaded on steroids.
In his first full season, Trout put up 10 WAR on the dot. Last year, he finished with 10.4. Through the Angels' first 79 games this season, he was at 5.4 WAR.
Let'sremember: Trout is still just 22. This is at the start of his career. The modern sports society loves to perpetuate hyperbole, and that's all well and good, but know that the following is the furthest thing from it: Nobody in baseball history has started his career as well as Mike Trout, and the most exciting part is that it's still just beginning.

people living in the low-rise neighbourhoods to the north of Imperial Square will be less impacted by the new development.
In another case which the City will support at the OMB, a 9-storey residential project at 719 Sheppard Avenue West will only get the City blessing once sanitary sewer capacity in the area has been expanded. We do see questions on UrbanToronto's Forum threads whether or not the City takes all the servicing impacts into account when the new projects go up, and this is a tangible 'yes' to answer that question.

Of course, more often than not when the City appears at the OMB, it is to oppose projects. This happensfor a number of reasons.
For a few projects presented at August's City Council, the City's rejection stems from a policy to not rezone employment areas to residential. This includes a proposal to redevelop a site at 440 Dufferin Street north of Queen which would add condominiums to a property is currently zoned only for employment uses. Similarly, proposals at 743 Warden Avenue and 1001 Ellesmere Avenue are being opposed because they would deplete the City's zoned employment lands somewhat.
'Overdevelopment' is another reason the City goes to the OMB, the term meaning that the City considers the proposed densities and/or height of the new development to be excessive for the site, and likely to negatively impact adjacent properties. A project at 604 through 618 Richmond Street, marketed as The

Harlowe, is heading to the OMB because the City feels that its 14-storey plan represents an overdevelopment of this site. A plan for a 9-storey Avenues style building is also being opposed at 2265 Bloor Street West as is a 12-storey condo dubbed Lotus at 577 Sheppard West and a 10-storey condo at 591-593 Sheppard Avenue East, all for similar reasons. As is obvious from that list, there is no one number of storeys at which the City objects. Once at the OMB, it is up to the City to prove that its concerns are justifiable, and up to the developer to convince that the proposal actually does constitute good planning.
The City will also go to the OMB to oppose the conversion of rental units to condominiums, asthe City has a policy to maintain and grow Toronto's stock of rental units. Another reason to go can also be to protect important examples of Toronto's architectural heritage when officially recognized buildings are threatened. One case includes both of those concerns, and The City will oppose at the OMB the conversion of the Heritage designated Garden Court Apartments at 1477 Bayview Avenue into a condo complex. While the developer does not plan to tear down the buildings, the City has a list of issues with the proposal.

On 17 December 2011 Skinner won the Best Comedy Breakthrough Artist at The British Comedy Awards for his work as Angelos over the previous year. He accepted the award from Ruth Jones and a noticeably fragile Freddie Starr and was congratulated by host Jonathan Ross for the way that he handled Starr's erratic behaviour during his acceptance speech as he escorted him from the stage. On 19 December, he appeared on The Rob Brydon Show as Angelos, on his Christmas special.
In 2012, he starred in his own show, The Angelos Epithemiou Show, onChannel 4. He also stars as John Meringue in the new Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer quiz show Vic & Bob's Lucky Sexy Winners.
Epithemiou took part in Channel 4's Come Dine With Me on 4 January 2013. He did not actually make any of the food he served to his guests, instead using tinned mushroom soup with white sliced bread for the starter and employing a burger van to cook his main dish. His guests were told to go home halfway through their desserts and had to finish their food in their taxis on the way home.

In general, an interposer connector facilitates the mating of connector assemblies by bridging the gap between two different sides of a connector assembly. An interposer can also be translatable so as to allow the interposer to move from an unmated positioned to a mated position. Prior to being in the mated position, the interposer connector is in contact with a first side of the connector assembly. Once the interposer connector is translated to the mated position, the interposer connector remains in contact with the first side of the connector assembly but is also brought into contact with a second side of the connector assembly, thus bridging the two sides of the connector assembly.

Mr. Taylor's rebellion, which controls most of the countryside, a domestic matter of little international interest.
The precedent of Liberia may yet be the only way a concerned world can feed the people of Somalia, whose armed thugs steal the food sent them. The world community is moving closer to accepting such options as legitimate. The end of Cold War rivalry allows nations to tolerate more generously each other's interventions in the affairs of third parties.
The United Nations is getting more deeply involved in Cambodia, Bosnia, Somalia and, now, Liberia. Yet the United Nations is nothing but machinery allowing its members to act collectively. So far, such members as Nigeria and the United States have sufficiently similar views for this to work, though the strains are great.
Greater pressure onfacts favorable to the judgment are that Lux and Schroeder discussed making a joint offer to purchase 207 acres of real estate owned by Equitable Life Assurance Company.

Linus Arnesson has made his way to New England to play with the Providence Bruins, hoping to adapt quickly to the North American style of hockey. Arnesson is only 20 years old, and has a large 6'2 frame, weighing 192lbs and plenty of room to keep growing. He brings a true black and gold style of hockey and can be quite a shutdown defenseman in today's NHL. He even compares his style of play to fellow Swede and two-time Stanley Cup champion, Niklas Hjalmarsson.
If that's the case, Boston has a lot to be excited about. Hjalmarsson can give you more than 20 minutes a night with the ability to shut down some of the NHL's best and kill penalties.
Like Hjalmarsson, Arnesson isn't all that flashy. He can definitelyskate up into the offensive play and he does have upside because of his above average skating ability. He also has excellent positioning and rarely makes mistakes coming out of the defensive end. He also plans on playing in Boston within the next year. Sweden does have a lot of grit looking to make an impact in the NHL, and the Bruins have found themselves a stand out prospect.

the dead of night. None were spared. But Killian was not at home; he was off on another of his adventures in the slums. When Killian returned to see what had become of his family, he immediately fled knowing what would happen to him if he were found.
Killian went into hiding in the poor districts. He took what jobs he could, usually not the legal kind, learned what he could of fighting and thievery. Killian was amazingly adept with a crossbow and became well-known for his ability as a marksman. He also learned the benefits of applying various poisons to his bolts to achieve the maximum effectiveness of each shot. Eventually Killian became and apprentice of sort with a renegade wizard; the wizard told Killian that he haduntapped potential in the dark arts. In exchange for his services, the wizard offered to teach Killian how to use this ability. Killian immersed himself in the study of magic, quickly realizing that there were few obstacles that he could not overcome with this new found power. Killian began tackling harder jobs and earning greater rewards. But through all of his adventures, Killian never wandered far from Dunvee and he did not forget his family. The money he made did not go toward luxuries; Killian was preparing. He'd learned that it was Olmar Hygar that had orchestrated the murder of his family.

relator was one of several waitresses scheduled for work in the dining rooms. Outside this employment, relator performed with a singing group that was scheduled to perform at a high school graduating class reunion at 7:30 p.m. on that date. Several weeks prior to that date, she had requested a vacation day off so she could attend that scheduled performance. The employer's manager told her that he expected her to work but that he would permit her to depart as soon as all of the guests had been served, without the necessity of remaining until the tables had been cleared and reset at the conclusion of the dinner. He assigned her to serve a group of 60 people, and she was aware that the group was expected betweenof August 7, 1982, and then had made special allowances for the claimant to leave the employment early that evening, but only after the group had been fully served, was an act of insubordination on the part of the claimant, and her leaving early was willful misconduct on her part in connection with the work.
The decision of the appeals tribunal was affirmed by the representative of the commissioner, who added these words:
The employer did not allege that the claimant was guilty of repeated and continuous acts of negligence or wrongdoing, but rather that she was discharged for the single incident which occurred on August 7, 1982. * * * The question to be resolved is whether the claimant demonstrated an intentional disregard for the interests of the employer,

rotate about the turn axis in a first direction. The plate has limited rotation in the first direction about the turn axis as the swing arm has limited movement relative to the plate about the pivot axis in a second direction, opposite of the first direction. The limited movement of the swing arm is defined by a pivot limit. Movement of the swing arm toward and away from the pivot limit occurs about the pivot axis without effect of the spring on the arm. During contact of the swing arm with the pivot limit, the arm and the plate can move about the turn axis against the effect of the spring.
In a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge is connectible between a spa housing and aspa cover which has a closed position atop the housing and an open position, where the spa cover is retracted away from atop the housing. The hinge includes a base plate which is attachable to a side of a spa housing, and a crank plate rotably coupled to the base plate about a first axis fixed in the base plate. A swing arm is rotably coupled at its proximal end to the crank plate about a second axis fixed in the crank plate and connectible to the spa cover at its distal end. A stop mounted onto the crank plate limits rotation of the swing arm about the second axis. A spring, operatively connected between the base plate and the crank plate, exerts a force on the crank

On August 20, 2013 at 4:24 am EDT, the sun erupted with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection or CME, a solar phenomenon which can send billions of tons of particles into space that can reach Earth one to three days later. These particles cannot travel through the atmosphere to harm humans on Earth, but they can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.
Experimental NASA research models, based on observations from NASA's SolarTerrestrial Relations Observatory show that the CME left the sun at speeds of around 570 miles per second, which is a fairly typical speed for CMEs.
Earth-directed CMEs can cause a space weather phenomenon called a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when they funnel energy into Earth's magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere, for an extended period of time. The CME's magnetic fields peel back the outermost layers of Earth's fields changing their very shape. In the past, geomagnetic storms caused by CMEs of this strength have usually been mild.
Magnetic storms can degrade communication signals and cause unexpected electrical surges in power grids. They also can cause aurora.
The SOHO LASCO C3 instrument captured this coronographic image of the Earth-directed CME. The bright white object to the right is the planet Mercury. Credit:

AFC 2 New England. New England and going to the AFC Championship game. Name a better duo, I'll wait. I hate it, but it is what it is. NE 24, HOU 20.
AFC 4 Pittsburgh @ AFC 1 Kansas City. Ah, the playoffs, where Kansas City goes to implode in new and hilarious ways every year. Last year, it involved Marcus Mariota throwing a touchdown pass... to himself. The year before, they lost at home in a game where they didn't allow a the Steelers a single touchdown all night. This'll be the Steelers again, looking to avenge a September loss in a wild game at Heinz Field, and somehow, they'll find a way. It'll involve shutting down Patrick Mahomes from the start, and a strong defensive stand lateand Chiefs. The Steelers have revenge on their minds once more, for all the times the Patriots have ruined the season. Pittsburgh went to New England 2 years ago for this same game, and got whooped. Not this year. The defense will keep steady pressure on Tom Brady through the game and minimize the threat, and someone will finally figure out how to slow down the rush. Look for Jesse James to make a crucial catch for the Steelers late in the game to help with the win. PIT 31, NE 27

Autman asked if he could use Heatherington's car. The two exchanged car keys, and Heatherington gave Autman $1000, which he put into the bag with the other money. Heatherington then left and phoned Barnette, giving Barnette a description of his car.

Barnette subsequently set up surveillance at the Chicago location where Heatherington suggested Autman was going to purchase the cocaine. Barnette testified that later, he saw a car matching the description of Heatherington's car; it was the same color and make, and had tinted windows. There appeared to be one person in the car. He attempted to follow the car, but lost it. Barnette called Heatherington approximately

her… would Anna reciprocate? After all Elsa had done? Truth be told, the older girl suspected Anna stopped loving her a long time ago; ever since she got her suitors and forgot about her imperfect and rebellious older sister. And now… well, now she probably hated her.
So what could she do? Take her to her husband? As much as Elsa would like to deny that Hans had any romantic interest in her sister, she had to admit she didn't know much about the prince. Sure, he was a dick to her, and he wanted to use her as a weapon to dominate the world, but… she had never seen him treating Anna badly. And there was a time when the younger sister would swoon over him when HansMaybe there was something else she could do.
These were the sort of thoughts Elsa had been having on her head, going on in an infinite cycle that led her nowhere and didn't allow her to take any actions. This had been going on for more than 24 hours already; ever since she fled from her chambers and ran off to the forest… leaving a very injured Anna behind. She wanted to go back to her palace and check on her, but at the same time, she was afraid of what she may find there. She was afraid her sister had run away and died as a victim of a pack of wolves. Afraid that Anna had frozen to death already, and that she was too late. And… she

whole day walking at the mountains and stressing over her sister, which had worn her out. Also, she felt like the shittiest shit in the world for what she'd done to Anna; both for freezing her heart and… well, every moment after, and a part of her thought that she deserved to die. No. That she needed to die. Maybe then Anna would be saved. So she put less effort on fighting back than usual and as result, got hit.
She still killed a few soldiers though; maybe more than a dozen in a matter of minutes. The moment they got too close to her, they would be killed like flies. Her objective was getting back to Jairah and escaping flying on her back, but when she finally gotnear her eagle she saw she was also being attacked by Hans' soldiers, but was doing quite an effort to defend herself.
This angered Elsa, since she never saw Jairah the same way she did her snow monsters. She could kill, sure, but that wasn't the purpose she was designed for. She was a manifestation of the beauty in Elsa's magic, untarnished by the murderous brutality she had put in all her other living creations. She was intimidating, but gentle. She was big but sometimes acted like a little chick, starved for Elsa's attention and love. She was created as a means for Elsa to escape her past life of oppression and abuse, and as such, she was a symbol of hope and happiness in Elsa's eyes.
Now, she was

being bombarded with arrows and spears, fighting to avoid the sharp swords and failing miserably. Elsa had always wondered if her creations could feel any pain at all, and now, hearing Jairah's horrendous shrieks… now she had no doubt.
She wanted to go save her; just create a huge snowstorm and kill everyone in sight but… there was just one problem with that. Hans was still there, watching the battle from the castle's door, and the soldier carrying Anna was at his side. If she were to release all her power, she'd risk injuring her sister further; perhaps even killing her. And that was a risk she was not going to take, so she kept holding herself back, slowly pushing through the soldiers to get in order to hereagle.
Suddenly, just when she was in the middle of piercing a man's heart with a big icicle, a thunderous bang was heard, and she instinctively covered her ears and raised an ice shield around herself. The explosion that followed made the whole courtyard resonate and vibrate with its force, but once it was over, Elsa immediately opened her eyes and looked for its source, her heart beating with enough force that she could feel it in her whole body, and her ears barely able to pick any sound.
Once she realized what was happening, however, it was already too late.
A mortar had been fired, and the big metal bomb had hit Jairah's head, blowing it up. The magnificent ice beast then fell to the ground, motionless, before disintegrating into

The Elizabethan age is celebrated for its literary and dramatic culture, its music and chivalry. The Elizabethan nobility loved to have a good time, and knew just how to have it. The wealthy of the land would entertain each other with great banquets of rich foods, wine, music and dancing. They would play games against each other, play sports such as tennis or bowls, and they would ride and hunt. Women too would participate in some of these sports, aswell as play musical instruments, draw, sew and embroider.
When Queen Elizabeth was not busy with matters of state, she too would enjoy some of these pleasures. Evenings at court were full of entertainments, often dedicated to the Queen, and when she was travelling special performances were often put onfor her, but the Queen also enjoyed less public activities.
Elizabeth loved to horse ride. She would spend many an hour riding fast through the Palace grounds. Her love for the sport terrified her Councilors, who feared that she would seriously injure, or even kill herself, from a fall. But Elizabeth was undaunted, and continued to ride long distances and at great speed until the end of her life. Even in her sixties she could ride a distance of ten miles, which she once proved to a courtier who advised the aging Queen to take the carriage. Elizabeth would tire out her ladies by riding hard, and early in her reign, Robert Dudley, her Master of Horse, had to bring over some new horses from Ireland, as the Queen's

It was far bolder rhetoric than hithers from the insipid Obama regime, whose idea of economic management has been to watch the Federal Reserve prop up its Wall Street pals by printing money. Even now, the equity marketeers are more sanguine as the Fed dangles another round of quantitative easing hypnotically before their eyes.
Still, as both parties in Washington are in turn propped up by Wall Street ''donations'', there is little prospect of respite.

of wine I drink had that special ingredient. I will certainly miss a spaghetti carbonara and in Genova I tasted the best pesto that humanity has ever created.
The landscape could also be a good contestant. From the centre of Milano, you can actually see the Alps, and I was there when they were still snowy, and so white mountains right by the city are gorgeous. But not unique: Genova has beautiful mountains too, and Pisa, every day I walked to my office I could see the different shades of green of the surrounding mountains of the city. The cliffs from Cinque Terre deserve a special mention too. From each point on Cinque Terre, you get an impressive view of the whole shore.

The walk to Boccadasse, something to remember. Every city, even the five hours I spent in La Spezia, was special. In Pisa, I enjoyed the river and its bridges, the piazzas, the wall around the city and I even took the mathematically best picture of the Leaning Tower.
The music is also right at the top of my list. I already liked Italian music before, but living in Pisa, I went to a concert in Piazza Cavalieri in which the Pisa Symphonic Orchestra played, for free, the soundtrack of movies like Jurassic Park, 007, Superman and even the music from Zelda, the

Bersani and Renzi in that he is not 100% new, but nor is he 100% old guard. He is proposing some change, but not too much to scare traditionally cautious Italians.
Which way will Vendola voters swing in the December 2nd ballot? A very good question. If they all opt for Bersani, then Bersani will win and may earn around 60% of the votes.
Bribery and Disruption
In an obvious attempt by Bersani to win the support of Vendola fans, Bersani has hinted that he would offer Vendola the job of EU commissioner if he wins the second round.
If, however, the attempt to bribe Vendola voters into choosing Bersani fails, Vendola voters may opt for Renzi, who would then clinch victory, albeit with only around 51% of the vote, maybe slightlyBREXIT

This invention relates to industrial apparatus, namely a pulveriser or grinding mill, in which pieces of a material are pulverised into a finer particulate form. The invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to a mill in which coal is pulverised into a powder form which is conveyed to combustion apparatus e.g. of a power station.
In particular the invention concerns a mill having a lower grinding ring, which may be a part formed with an annular depression. Grinding elements are sandwiched between the lower grinding ring and a top member, which may have an annular depression facing an annular depression in the grinding ring. The grinding ring and the top member are moveable relative to one another. The grinding ring and the top member are typically ring-shaped; the termsthe grinding ring. Air flows upwardly through the port ring. The port ring has inner and outer annular walls, between which there area plurality of spaced-apart, inclined, vanes, separating openings through which air can flow. The port ring rotates with the grinding ring and the vanes impart a desired vector to the generally upwards air flow.
Around its 360 degree extent the port ring may define only openings and the through-thicknesses of the vanes. That is to say there is in effect an annular passage separated into individual openings only by the through-thicknesses of the vanes.
The inner and outer annular walls of the port ring are fixed. The gap between them, in which the vanes are located, cannot be varied.
The size of the gap is selected to provide an

and then filling a syringe with product.
Also atop the table is a grey IMI Desert Eagle. It is large, loud, iconic, powerful, and incredibly unwieldy. She has never been to a range in her life. She's more likely to blow a hole through her own head with it than anything else.
The products are ready. She's not. She hasn't scoped out the Bank, examined their security systems, seen any blueprints of the building - hell, she hasn't even set foot inside the Bank. Everything she knows about it, she learned from her inside man. But that doesn't matter. The products are ready.
Twenty-eight minutes left.
She takes a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, a cotton swab, and rubber tubing from a satchel on her back. Then she dips the swab in theits life. Her vision blurs briefly and then sharpens. Even as her head begins to pound to the drumbeat of the damned, she notes with satisfaction that her left arm has been pixelated. Where once there was continuous smooth skin, the entire limb from the shoulder down looks like a sixteen-bit sprite from a video game. She gives it an experimental flex to make sure that it doesn't fall off, then looks to the Bank.
The Bank and everybody around it are now a sheen of threads: the dull grey of concrete, stone, and metal, the rich tan of wood, the vibrant scarlet of humans, the icy lime of machines, and the frosty blue of spirits. All of them are moving sluggishly, as if caught in an invisible flood

of molasses. This is the power of demonic perception.
Helmet and leathers on and cannon in hand, she covers the fifty meters to the main entrance in less than a second. The entrance doors are frosted glass, and shatter to bits when she rams through them with her left shoulder. Her trajectory carries her into a security android, whom she punches in the throat. As he falls, she wraps her right arm around his injured throat, shifts her gun to her left hand, and puts it to his head. She fires. People start to scream.
Twenty-one minutes left.
She's never felt more alive. As part of the ceiling crumbles and the citizens of Eurtec huddle on the ground, she drags the android across the marble floor to the teller - amainframe intelligence - and warns it that for every minute she is not allowed into the main vault, somebody dies. It hesitates. She leans on the glass window separating them and shifts her gun from the android to the crowd.
Twenty minutes left.
The android reactivates and attempts to elbow her in the gut. She seizes his elbow with the Left Arm of Doom and wrenches it behind his back, allowing him just enough time to look shocked before the entire left side of his body is converted into digital information. He collapses forward, looking for all the world as though he was sliced in half. She gives the stunned teller a wry look, though it probably can't see it through her helmet. It can, however, see her aiming her

Nineteen minutes left.
The door to the bank vault is a meter-thick slab composed of fifty percent unobtaniumTM, thirty-one percent platinum, ten percent iridium, and nine percent metal unknown to all but the corporation formerly known as Prometheus Labs. It is unbreakable.
It swings open, and she tips her helmet to the teller before strolling in. There are still eighty meters of spatially and temporally folded corridor between her and the vault. All eighty meters are guarded by geases, security turrets, metal golems that can melt out of the walls, and a floating necromantic complex composed of the souls of everyone who has tried to steal from the Bank of Eurtec in the past.
None of those souls tried to juice themselves with demonics.She breaks into a sprint, Superman-style; her pixelated arm in front. Soon she'll either be rich or dead.
Eighteen minutes left.
The geases come first; unless inoculated against them ahead of time, they compel you to stop breathing. The Left Arm of Doom smashes through them with ease - contrary to popular belief, the Devil has no problem reneging on his contracts.
Seventeen minutes left.
The turrets come next, unfolding from the walls and ceiling. A hail of bullets comes down the corridor at her. It's all a mess of green threads; she swipes at them with the Left Arm of Doom and they come unraveled, disintegrating into computer chips, blocks of various precious metals, and several rapidly vanishing lesser demons.
Sixteen minutes left.

perfectly oriented with respect to the Seventh Plain, regardless of how much running she does. She drops into a slide and takes less-than-careful aim with the Eagle before firing off five shots. Five golems collapse as the rules of geometry allowing their metallic composition to exist decide to take a break.
Fifteen minutes left.
The last twenty meters are the hardest; this time the ground falls away from her mid-slide. Now she is falling towards the bank vault, trying to keep hold of her helmet as a vortex of red and blue and purple engulfs her. The vault is within sight, but it's falling faster than she is. Then the necromantic complex appears.
A shrieking, wailing mass of souls amassed over three hundred years rises up from the vault. Thousands ofscreaming faces rush up towards her. This is the Curse of Eurtec: the souls of the damned that have tried and failed to steal from the Bank. All of them are cursed to spend the rest of eternity guarding it, tormented by their own greed as they are forced to protect the treasure they worked so hard to capture for themselves.
If she doesn't do something in the next five seconds, the shell that contains her mortal soul will disintegrate violently and painfully. Then she will join them in this artificial hell.
The Curse rushes up towards her. She winds the Left Arm of Doom back, and then connects with a punch.
There is whiteness.
Then she is inside the bank vault.
Nine minutes later, the police have set up a cordon outside
