WHEN THE PEOPLE of the United Kingdom went to the polls last year, they were faced with one clear option and one extremely unclear option. The clear option was the status quo: The UK would remain as a member of the European Union. The second option was to leave the EU.
What exactly that meant was at that time, and indeed still is, a complete mystery. Many on the Leave side painted Utopian visions of the UK being restored as a global power with the resurgence of the Empire and the ability to be free from the shackles of European bureaucracy, that has supposedly been holding the UK back since 1973.
Unclear what Brexit will look like
A year on from the Referendum and following two rounds of detailed negotiations, ithas suffered with tepid growth rates according to the IMF, declines in household savings and growth while sterling is 11% down against the dollar and 18% down against the euro.
At this stage, there is only one mainstream party advocating for an exit from Brexit in the form of the traditional pro-European voices in the Liberal Democrats. Prime Minister Theresa May was a reluctant Remainer as Home Secretary. Now she leads a government whose Brexit position seems to be increasingly driven by the big four Eurosceptic beasts, in the form of David Davis, Liam Fox, Michael Gove and Boris Johnston, with sensible politicians like Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond being constantly undermined.
A clear vacuum in the Brexit debate

in my late teens. Would be well surprised if any other Secret Leedser remembers placing a foot in there!
Tony Burrows was a session singer who was in about half a dozen groups at the same time. This was a period when many of the hits of the day were recorded by session musicians and if the record happened to be a hit, a group was assembled for promoting purposes. Top of the Pops and the like. These were probably the first wave of 'manufactured' pop groups, rather like Simon Cowell's lot et al. Those groups who were more than just a flash in the pan then toured with varying degrees of success.
It was probably during one of these periods when Tony was touring with one lot at theNicaragua, Guatemala: '80s Rebels Seek Leadership
Nicaragua isn't the only country in Central America holding elections today. In Guatemala, people are also headed to the polls to choose a new president. And in both countries, the elections are fraught with history.
Back in the 1980s, Guatemala and Nicaragua were facing civil war and revolution. Twenty-five years later, both countries are still embattled but with different issues.
NPR's Tom Gjelten covered the region in the '80s and says the aftermath of the civil wars is key to understanding what is going on in those countries today.
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: There have been peace agreements in all these countries, and the peace agreements have lasted. And the consequence of that, unfortunately, is that we really don't pay attention to this region that much anymore.

with limited infrastructure to support regular operations by large combat aircraft. In addition to serving as an outlying Venezuelan military outpost, the island is also a presidential retreat. Rebellious military officers briefly held the late Hugo Chavez captive there during their abortive coup attempt in 2002. Russia and Venezuela would have to invest significant time and resources they may not have into expanding facilities on the island, especially fuel and weapons storage, as well as and living areas before regular operations could commence. This could be a multi-year endeavor and it is not at all clear how long Maduro might remain in power. On top of that, the idea of actually deploying nuclear weapons to the base, even temporarily, seems highly unrealistic without massive improvements in security. Thereis no indication that Russian Tu-160s have carried any weapons whatsoever on their previous visits to the Latin American country. It is worth noting, however, Russia and Venezuela did discuss a similar arrangement in 2009, which Chavez eventually rejected. However, publicly available satellite imagery shows that between 2009 and 2013, Venezuelan authorities did expand and refurbish the runway, the associated ramp, and other infrastructure on the island, potentially with an eye toward combined operations with the Russian in the future. The present facilities are certainly austere, the base is not bare.

The invention relates to a method and mechanism for the thermal treatment of pulverulent or finely grained material, and particularly for the calcining of cement in several steps whereby the raw material is first preheated in a precalcining step and finally the calcining is completed in a furnace. More particularly, the invention relates to improvements in the precalcining step in cooperation with the calcining step so that controlled heating and controlled oxidation takes place in precalcining as the material is admixed with partially oxidized fuel and oxygen.
In the production of cement, a conventional process involves calcining and sintering which take place consecutively in a rotary kiln in two separate portions so that the rotary kiln solely performs a sintering function, and another part connected in series operates onand reliable way. A reliable ignition of the combustible fuel as well as a uniform combustion at relatively low temperatures has been insured. The fuel is ignited and partially oxidized in precombustion step and combined with the hot oxygen containing gas stream from the furnace, and this mixture is admixed with a substantial part of the raw material to be treated which is further oxidized in a precalcination zone. In accordance with the invention, partial oxidation first takes places with the fuel supply, and the fuel is ignited reliably and uniformly. In the first combined completely ignited and partially oxidized condition, it is admixed with the majority of the raw material to be treated. The partially oxidized fuel is there further burned in intimate mixture with the material

foster son to come to Arkansas and visit with her, and after he arrived explained her situation to him and attempted to persuade him to come live with her, but he did not choose to do so.
On October 3, 1967, she and the foster son went to her family lawyer where she made Will 1 leaving all of her property to the foster son and his wife and children. She left the Will and other papers with the attorney for safe keeping. After that the son returned to California.
Surgery was recommended for Mrs. Gordon by Dr. John Wood, and on October 17, 1967, she entered the Mena Hospital, where Dr. Wood performed a colostomy. During this time the foster son and his wife came back to Arkansas tobe with her, at which time they stayed on the Gordon farm.
When the foster son was home and Mrs. Gordon in the hospital, she requested he bring her a package from the home which she contended contained money. When the package was delivered to her she contended some $1,500.00 or $1,600.00 Dollars supposedly in the package was missing from it, and accused the foster son of taking it. Some silverware, a violin and furs also were alleged to have disappeared from the home. This was extremely vexing to Mrs. Gordon and caused her to be distrustful of the foster son.
After the operation in October, Dr. Wood recommended that Mrs. Gordon go to a nursing home until she could adjust to the colostomy and care for herself. At first

Mrs. Gordon accepted the idea, but later rebelled. The surgeon recommended *896 that a guardian be appointed for her to look after her affairs and place her in a nursing home. Unknown to her, the foster son went to the family lawyer, who had prepared Will 1, and had him prepare a Petition to have Mr. Crowell the Executor named in Will 1, appointed guardian for Mrs. Gordon so she could be placed in a nursing home.
Mrs. Gordon was served with notice of the application for appointment of a guardian for her in the hospital and without prior notice. She became infuriated at the foster son, the family lawyer and the nominated guardian and suspicious of all connected therewith, as all being a conspiracy against her to gether in a nursing home. She from that point until her death was distrustful of those named, stating she was not going to a nursing home, but wanted to return to die with her birds and cats in her own home.
Archie Cude, a friend and neighbor for a number of years, whose wife was in the hospital at the same time, with his wife visited Mrs. Gordon at this time. Mrs. Gordon expressed to him her fear and apprehension of the action taken by the foster son and the others and told him of her desire to go home rather than to a rest home. She was very upset. She asked him to see what he could do to help her. The hearing was to be the next

A major milestone was achieved at Living Choice Woodcroft on 27th April when we had our first concrete pour for the leisure centre, comprising the car park stair pad and the strip footings to the western facing car park.
The next major milestones are to progress concrete works to the leisure centre car park and cinema areas and complete the bulk excavation works to the new Link Apartments.
As at 1st May, the groundwork preparation was 100% complete and the team had reconditioned the existing ground by reworking and compacting soils to achieve optimum foundation properties for the leisure centre.

his 80th birthday sometime in the late 1940's. After a few moments of dissonance as the modern ear relearns the musical language of a bygone era, the song becomes thrilling, guiding the mind's eye into America's past. When I slipped Frontier Favorites: Old-Time Music of the Wild West into the CD player and advanced it to Turkey in the Straw, Rex Rideout's fiddle burst from the speakers as if played by Morgan at a Southern Colorado barn dance in the 1880's. The hair on my neck stood up for a good ten minutes.
With Frontier Favorites, Rideout and his musical cohort Mark Gardner have created a stylistically accurate period piece filled with 21 tunes that are historically exact, yet can be appreciated by contemporary sensibilities. Sound, composition, instrumental techniquerecreated the music through exacting research combined with impressive musical ability. What they bring to the listener is the prototype for Country, Americana, Western and Folk music; before Nashville, before Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams and Uncle Dave Macon. Its instrumentation was portable and nearly primitive, with fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bones taking center stage in an era when guitars were a rarity.
The music on this disc is precisely what your ancestors heard, what they danced to. It encompasses the songs they sang and the tunes they hummed. It's a musical journey to the mid-19th century that transcends cultural nostalgia; this music is realistic enough in style and content to have been played and sung in its exact form on the Western frontier.

Poison in Jest
Poison In Jest, first published in 1932, is a detective story by John Dickson Carr which does not feature any of Carr's series detectives. This novel is a mystery of the type known as a whodunnit.
Plot summary
Jeff Marle, who plays a sidekick role in other Carr novels, is visiting a friend at the Quayle mansion in western Pennsylvania. Although various members of the Quayle household hate each other, all are united in hatred of the paterfamilias, Judge Quayle. A few moments after being introduced to Marle, Judge Quayle collapses after having been poisoned. More than one poison is used in murder attempts in the household; strange shadowy figures are seen prowling the halls at night, and there is a creepy story aboutThe present invention relates to testing devices, and more particularly to devices for testing an elongated elastic sleeve or balloon.
A various assortment of catheters have been proposed in the past for use in patients. Many of such catheters, for example Foley catheters and endotracheal tubes, are constructed with an inflatable sleeve or balloon on a shaft to permit retention or sealing by the balloon in the patient's body. For example, Foley catheters are normally constructed having an elongated hollow shaft defining a drainage lumen, an inflatable sleeve secured on a distal end of the shaft, and a drainage eye adjacent the distal end of the shaft communicating with the drainage lumen. The catheter shaft is passed through the patient's urethra until the drainage eye and inflatable sleeve are

An emotional vigil for one student who was killed and the eight who were wounded during the Denver school shooting turned into an angry protest Wednesday night.
The vigil, held at Highlands Ranch High School, which is close to the tragic STEM School Highlands Ranch, was organized by student gun control group Team Enough.
Democrat congressmen Michael Bennet and Jason Crow were invited to speak, while STEM students were invited to attend the vigil - one of two that took place yesterday.
But, as the political speeches wore on, STEM students became frustrated that they had not been allowed to take the microphone and stormed out.
More than 2,000 tearful mourners attended a Wednesday night vigil to honor the victims of a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch in a suburb ofDenver, Colorado, on Tuesday
A teen sobs into a friend's shoulder during the emotional vigil held one day after the shooting
Teens embraced each other at the event organized by students with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and held at neighboring Highlands Ranch High School
The tone of the vigil shifted dramatically as hundreds of students participated in a walkout
Kendrick Castillo, 18, was shot dead whilst trying to tackle one of the gunmen during Tuesday's shooting. The aspiring electrical engineer had just three days left of school before graduation
The students paraded out of the venue holding up lighted cellphones, chanting 'mental health' and shouting expletives at the media.
They eventually made their way back into the gym where students were allowed to take the microphone and get their message across.

count of murder, together with sentences of 2,000 years, 3,000 years, 1,000 years and 1,000 years for the counts of Shooting With Intent to Kill. Appellant appeals to this Court.
The scenario and trail of horror in this case started on January 26, 1986, when the appellant got into an argument with his fiancee, Cheryl James. For the first time in their relationship of over a year he struck her and then later that day when in remorse and in the girlfriend's presence took pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Cheryl then drove him to Presbyterian Hospital where he was hospitalized for a few days and then transferred to the psychiatric ward of St. Anthony's Hospital. On January 29th Cheryl went to visit him and after a couple ofhours left. When she got to her car, the appellant came running out behind her and forced her to take him with her. She became afraid and tried to get away from him and managed to get help from a security guard at the Sheraton Center in downtown Oklahoma City. She told the security guard that appellant was acting crazy and he had just gotten out of a mental ward. An altercation occurred and police arrived but they failed to arrest the appellant. Later on January 29, appellant attempted to purchase a hand gun, by falsely telling the store clerks that he operated a restaurant and needed a gun for protection. Appellant did not have enough money to purchase the gun, but a store clerk agreed to loan

Appellant next went into an office, where he shot Carl Lake. Witness testified hearing Mr. Lake telling appellant to leave, and then hearing a second shot. Mr. Lake was fatally wounded. Appellant then fired at James Rider from the top of a loading dock. After Mr. Rider staggered and fell to the ground, appellant shot him again. Mr. Rider was fatally wounded. As appellant was driving away, a number of men ran out of the place into the parking lot. Appellant stopped, opened fire, reloaded, fired again, and drove away. Ancil Davis was hit but survived.

The Asian and one Native American were removed with appellant's seventh and eighth peremptory challenges. Appellant waived his ninth challenge.
The State used four peremptory challenges to remove two African Americans and two Native Americans. One African American was removed because he appeared inattentive at some times and disruptive at others. The trial judge confirmed the observation, and appellant did not challenge it at trial.

Her dirty, blood stained pants showed that she had crawled along the back of the house attempting to escape appellant. In his taped statement, appellant described Ms. Thomas's pleading for her life. Bullet holes in the house showed that appellant continued to fire at her as she crawled.
Witnesses heard Carl Lake shout at appellant after he had been shot once. Appellant's statement revealed that he shot Mr. Lake once, and as Mr. Lake moved toward him, he fired a second time. Forensic and blood spatter analysis confirmed this testimony. When appellant entered Mr. Lake's office, Lake put up his hand in a defensive motion. Appellant fired a shot thatgrazed Lake's fingertip and passed across his face causing an entry wound in one cheek and an exit wound in the other. Mr. Lake went across the room, grabbed a box, slipped, and fell down in front of appellant. Appellant fired a second shot into the top of Lake's head, killing him instantly.
Jim Rider suffered four gunshot wounds. Two struck him in the front. One grazed his head and the other passed through abdominal tissue. Neither was fatal. A witness testified that Rider started up the stairs at that point, stumbled, and fell down. When Ellis walked past, he fired two more shots into Rider's back. One of these was fatal.
The State also presented evidence that appellant showed no remorse for the killings, that he had acted calmly

Russian snowboarder Vic Wild won gold in the parallel slalom race in Sochi on Saturday. Originally from White Salmon, Wash., the 27-year old Wild moved to Russia three years ago to marry Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina. He also won a gold medal in the parallel giant slalom on Wednesday.
Ceremonies Bring Sochi Games to a Close

Talented performers, elaborate costumes and dazzling visual effects highlighted the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics on Sunday in Sochi, Russia. The oft-maligned host nation even took time to laugh at itself during the farewell show.
As dancers formed into a representation of the Olympic rings, one group remained in a tight circle echoing a glitch that marred the opening ceremonies when oneof the five lighted rings failed to open.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose nation spent $51 billion to host the event, watched in delight as the Sochi Games closed with his country on top of the overall medal standings. Russia transferred the host responsibilities for the Winter Olympics to Pyeongchang, South Korea, site of the 2018 Games.

Publication WO 2011/103988 A1 discloses an installing method where the entire structure, including the offshore wind turbine and the foundation, are preassembled at a small platform near the harbour. A transport vessel is then moved into position over the foundation and secured to the foundation by means of rollers and pulleys. The entire structure is then lifted and sailed out to the installation site. Support poles are then extended out of the hull of the vessel, and the foundation is then filled with ballast via a second ship. The transport vessel is then lowed via ballast tanks until the support poles contact the seabed. The foundation, including the wind turbine, is then lowed into position, and the rollers and pulleys are then disconnected and raised back up. TheThe wind turbine is then secured to the support structure using clamps arranged on the support structure. The catamaran is then raised by emptying the ballast tanks and moved out to the installation site. The wind turbine is positioned on the foundation by lowering the catamaran again. The raising and lowering of the catamaran is a slow process which adds to the total installation time. The transport can only be done at low wind speed where the wind turbine can be held in a stable position, as the wind turbine is transported in an elevated position above the water surface.

about possible ties between Trump's associates and Russian officials have dogged the White House.
Since July, the FBI has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia's interference in the election and possible coordination with Trump associates. House and Senate intelligence committees, led by Republican lawmakers, are also investigating. Some Democratic leaders have called for an independent investigation, saying the congressional probes, particularly the House investigation, has been tainted by political interference from the White House.
Several Trump associates have been caught up in the controversy. Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign after he misled the vice president about conversations with a Russian ambassador. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the Justice Department investigation after he did not disclose a meeting with the sameambassador. White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has volunteered to be questioned by congressional investigators. Former campaign manager Paul Manafort's connections to Russia are part of the congressional probes.
The president has steadfastly denied any inappropriate links to Russia.
Page, who described himself as an oil industry consultant and U.S. Naval Academy midshipman, was a relative unknown when the Trump campaign announced his hiring as a foreign policy adviser in March 2016. He would stay with the Trump team until September 2016.

Thank you for joining us
to celebrate the memory of theAbraham Lincoln Brigade
and the work ofProactiva Open Arms
Easter Sunday was a beautiful celebration at the Museum of the City of New York. We raised our voices in song and marked the 81st Anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. We honored the important work of Proactiva Open Arms with the seventh annual ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism, as well as the legacy of the Lincoln volunteers and their enduring example in the fight against fascism.
The ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism connects the legacy of the Lincoln Brigade with contemporary causes and includes a $100,000 prize to support the ongoing work of the recipient. The award is provided through an endowed fund made possible through theFMC's management was considering antitakeover measures. FMC hired Goldman to help consider various options, including acquisitions, a leveraged buyout, and a recapitalization. After studying FMC's corporate structure and the growth nature of its principal businesses, FMC and Goldman determined that a recapitalization was FMC's best alternative.4

A recapitalization would help shield FMC from a hostile takeover by enabling FMC's management to increase significantly its proportionate equity interest in the corporation and, at the same time, substitute a substantial amount of debt for equity in the company's capital structure. In short, FMC would buy each share of its common stock from public shareholders for cash plus one share of new common stock; management, on the other hand, would purchase its old common shares entirely with new

During the break between the first and second meeting, I went and said hi to a few people I knew. One was fairly new to the area, but I had seen her before. We ended up chatting the entire time. By the time Sunday School begins, she asks if she could sit next to me. I, of course, had no objections.
After the class was over, she asked me if I text. I said that I do. Then she asked thisOgólna ocena:

Two stuntmen who did not know how to swim drowned after they jumped from a helicopter into a lake in southern India during the filming of a movie, police said Tuesday.
The crew was shooting the climax of the film Monday when Raghav Uday and Anil Verma jumped as part of an action sequence. Police superintendent Chandra Gupta said the two stuntmen did not know how to swim and were not wearing life vests, and that a motorboat that was supposed to rush to the scene and rescue them was found to be not working.
A video of the scene showed the two stuntmen landing in the water and thrashing around for a few seconds before disappearing from view. Local fishermen in small boats rowed to the middle of thelake but found no trace of the two men.
One of Kannada cinema's top actors, Duniya Vijay, also jumped into the water with the stuntmen, but managed to swim and was later rescued by a fisherman. The Kannada language is spoken in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, which has a thriving film industry.
A Kannada television channel broadcast an interview with one of the stuntmen in which he said he was scared of performing the jump because he had never done such a stunt before.
Police have registered a case of criminal negligence against the film's director and producers, Gupta said.

Earlier, from July 5, 1968, while Ray was incarcerated in London, England, until November 11, 1968, he had been represented by defendant Hanes, a member of the Alabama bar. On July 8, 1968, Hanes, Ray, and defendant Huie, a professional writer and resident of Alabama, entered into an agreement under which Huie undertook to prepare a book and other literary material concerning Ray and the King murder with the assistance and cooperation of Ray and Hanes. Huie was given exclusive rights to this material, in return for which Huie agreed to pay Ray and Hanes each 30 percent of hisagreement in excess of $165,000.00.
9
On July 18, 1969, several months after Ray's conviction, he brought this action in the United States District Court. The apparent1 gravamen of Ray's case is that Hanes, Huie, and Foreman used their positions of trust to impose these contracts on Ray against his will, placed their own financial interests in the contracts ahead of Ray's interests as a defendant, and conspired to violate his right to a fair trial, in violation of the duty imposed on attorneys by Tennessee law, and in contravention of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 1985. The relief sought is primarily injunctive and equitable: Ray asks for preliminary and permanent injunctions barring defendants 'from further exposure of the alleged facts surrounding the slaying of Martin Luther

to any efforts to sublease or sell his interest in the premises, and on February 17, 1950, he entered into an agreement with the lessor whereby the latter agreed to install air-conditioning equipment in return for a specific monthly compensation. The agreement also provided that upon receipt of the final payment, which was due on the same day as the termination date of the original lease, title to part of the equipment would pass from the lessor to the lessee.

In 1958 Vellianitis and his wife, Penelope, organized the taxpayer, Blackstone Realty Company, to manage and operate their real estate investments. Vellianitis assigned to Blackstone Realty his leasehold in the Greystone Building in exchange for all of the outstanding stock in the corporation.
5
A new lease for theGreystone Building was signed soon after the creation of the company. This document superseded the original lease and its supplement. As part of the negotiated lease agreement, Blackstone Realty became obligated to make and pay for certain repairs and improvements to the premises.2 In order to pay for the repairs and improvements, the lessor agreed to lend Blackstone Realty $25,000. This entire sum plus additional funds of Blackstone Realty were spent remodeling the building.
6
In 1959 Blackstone Realty employed a real estate broker to find a purchaser for its leasehold interest in the Greystone Building and whatever interest it had in the leasehold improvements. The broker contacted D. R. Coley, Jr., an attorney, who was the chairman of the board of directors of the

First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Mobile, Alabama. Coley expressed interest in the building, and the parties began negotiations for a sale. During the negotiations Blackstone Realty insisted upon separate consideration for the leasehold and the improvements. After several proposals and counter-proposals, Blackstone Realty accepted the bank's conditional offer of March 15, 1960, which provided in part:
7
$100,000 cash to be allocated to the cost of fixtures, equipment, air-conditioning, elevator, etc., installed by Blackstone Realty Company, Inc., in the building; $1,000 per month for a period of twenty years, or a total of 240 months, the first payment to be due and payable thirty days from the closing of the transaction.
8
This deal was never consummated because the bank was unable to reach agreement with thelessor to extend the lease to ninety-nine years, a necessary condition of the offer.
9
On July 1, 1960, the lessor reconsidered and agreed to the extension. The bank and the taxpayer then executed a new 'lease and agreement' whereby Blackstone Realty assigned all of its rights in the Greystone Building to First Federal. The consideration was the same in amount and terms of payment as contained in the bank's offer of March 15, 1960: $340,000 total, $100,000 in cash and $1,000 per month for 240 months. No specific reference, however, was made to the distinct separation of monies allocated for payment of the leasehold and the improvements.3

First Federal paid Blackstone Realty $100,000 in cash in Blackstone's taxable year ending May 31, 1961, and during such year

of our people, while they are being led a great deal further than Section 1 ever would make this country go.
Section 2, into which our people are being led under the guise of a Bill simply to remove the Oath from the Constitution, in accordance with the mandate which President de Valera got, withdraws the force of law from the Treaty, and also definitely does away with our guarantee of good faith to the other high contracting parties to the Treaty: that if they, on the acceptance of the Treaty, accepted it in the spirit as well as in the letter, and packed up and cleared out, lock, stock and barrel, we did not expect them after seven centuries of bitter war between these two peoples to buryin the same Bill. The two things cannot be dispassionately considered when brought together in one Bill. I say the President should have introduced a Bill containing Sections 1 and 4, abolishing the Oath, and no more, in accordance with his mandate. He would then be free, if he thought that the national status of this country required it, to prepare a Bill defining the national status of this country as it has at present developed, and then he might have laid that Bill before this House for full and patient consideration. If he wanted to fight a general election on the declaration of the existing status of this country he could have gone to the people and fought it on that. If he did so, I doubt

challenged in any way the definition of a treaty in the international sense which I gave on the Second Reading of this Bill here. That is, that it is a contract between two States not depending on its mere form, but depending on its substance, by which the two contracting States are bound. I went further and said that the fact that one of the contracting States at the time the Treaty was entered into was not a recognised Government did not convert the document which they executed into anything but a treaty. I said that you had here in 1921 functioning in this country a de facto Government which claimed international recognition, that they went forward and negotiated this Treaty, and a Treaty it became when approvedunlike him, jealous to safeguard them.
The position as decided here by the judges, to whom the President is afraid to leave the question as to whether the removal of the Oath is a breach of the Treaty or not, is this: They declared that the Treaty took effect from the 6th December, 1921, and that the British Parliament had no power whatsoever to legislate for this country as from the 6th December, 1921. The only sanction which is given in this country for the Treaty is our own Act of 1922. I will go further. Before the President and his Party came into this House this Oireachtas had declared its position with regard to the British Parliament and its power to legislate here subsequent to the 6th December,

1921.
If the President will look at Section 40 of the Finance Act of 1926, passed by the Oireachtas, he will see that this House in that section recognised there was a doubt that this country would be bound by the British Finance Act of 1922, which was passed prior to the transfer of the functions of the Revenue Department to this Government. There was a declaration by the Oireachtas of this country's international status subsequent to the 6th December, 1921, and the President, in order to support his argument in respect of Section 2, falls back on a line of argument which, if it were accepted by the people, might have great reactions on them in the future with regard to our Treaty rights. That argument is toattention to the view of the legal adviser of the Government than to the legal view purported to be expressed by the President.
I ask the Attorney-General if he has read the opinions of our own courts as to whether the Treaty was fully effective from the 6th December, 1921; if he has read the opinions expressed by our own judges that the British Parliament had no power to legislate for this country subsequent to the date of the Treaty, viz., the 6th December, 1921, and whether he is prepared to state to this House that he disregards the opinions of the judges expressed in the Supreme Court of this country that the Treaty took effect from the 6th December, 1921? If he is prepared to state that he

and more complicated because the position of the Government seems to be changing from day to day. On the Friday, when the President made his long speech he asserted that he would never negotiate with the British Government except on the question of the reunion of this country. On the following Tuesday he said that, as soon as this Bill was passed into law, he was prepared to hear what the British had to say to it. We understand from the President and from the Attorney-General that they are in negotiation with the British Government. The Attorney-General says very strongly that this is not the proper place to argue as to whether this section should or should not stand. he suggests that we are doing grave national harmof the Treaty requires, if approved, that it would be ratified by the necessary legislation. He asked where the necessary legislation was once this had gone. The President got up and he took a very advantageous point of view. I knew a man one time who used to go about amongst people arguing religion. He always asked what the other person was, and then proceeded to attempt to demolish his point, but he always refused to say what his own religion was. The President, when he gets up and argues, tells us that the argument he is putting forward is the sort of argument that we on this side might make. Then when we ask him what the position is he says that Deputy McGilligan would be quite

The warehouse was leased to Sunflower Laboratories, Inc., a corporation engaged in the manufacture and sale of soap; and certain merchandise, machinery, and other property were stored in it. W. C. Jackson and Pauline Jackson and their son owned all of the stock issued by the corporation, and W. C. Jackson managed its business. Certain companies issued policies of insurance insuring the building and its contents against destruction by fire. The building, virtually all of its contents, and some lumber near the building, were destroyed by fire; and the insurance companies made certain payments under their policies. W. C.

for themselves, and Sunflower Laboratories, Inc., as trustee for the use and benefit of the insurance companies, instituted this suit against Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway Company for damages. The claim pleaded was that through negligence of the railway company fire escaping from one of its engines set fire to dry grass and other combustible materials which had accumulated and remained on the right-of-way; that the fire spread and was communicated to the premises of plaintiffs; that the building and its contents were destroyed; that the trees, shrubbery, and landscaping of the premises were damaged; and that certain expenses were incurred in removing debris and salvage from the premises and in repairing the foundation in order to begin construction of another building. By answer, the railway company admitted that the buildingburning engine. Sand used to clean the flues of an oil burning engine sometimes comes out of the stack and the fire box in the form of red hot carbon, soot, and black sand; and sometimes it comes out in balls about the size of the end of one's thumb, and they disintegrate and break up when touched or kicked. The fire sometimes comes up near the cab. Engines often operated in that manner when passing along the track opposite the warehouse and other property involved in this action, and the engine of the freight train which passed on the morning of the fire shot out some fire. There was high, dry grass along the right-of-way, some of which was within a foot of the end of the

where the men thought they had extinguished it. Fanned by the wind from the south, the fire moved northward and was communicated to the property of plaintiffs. The burned area from the point on the right-of-way at which the fire originated to the property of plaintiffs was continuous. The evidence considered in its totality presented an issue of fact as to whether the fire which destroyed the property of plaintiffs was the same fire or a continuation of it which started on the right-of-way, and therefore the court did not err in submitting the question to the jury.
Complaint is made that the damages sustained as the result of the destruction of the warehouse were not proved by competent evidence. The construction of the warehouse was completed shortly beforethe fire, and for all practical purposes it was a new building. Plaintiff W. C. Jackson purchased the materials and with his employees constructed the building. He testified concerning the cost of the building, and in fixing the cost only the amounts actually expended were included. The building was located beyond the city limits and perhaps did not have any fixed market value except as a warehouse for use in connection with the established business of manufacturing and selling soap. Under the law of Oklahoma, the measure of damages for the loss of a building destroyed by fire is the actual cash value of the building at the time and place of its destruction, and that value may be established by evidence of original cost and the cost

The city's annual fireworks display was on Tuesday night, with fireworks let off from Anzac Park above the Manawatū River.
The 15-minute show was visible across the city and the river was lined with people watching.
But as the fireworks started, a scrub fire broke out on the bank below the Anzac Park carpark, opposite the Manawatū Golf Club. An orange glow was visible at the top of the hill during the display.

in some model engines the connecting rods, every major component of its rebuilt engines is either a newly-manufactured part purchased by it or is a salvaged part that it has machined in order to make it usable.
After the rebuilt engines produced by it have left its assembly department, they are test run on an installation known as a dynamometer to determine if their performance is satisfactory. Thereafter, the engine is painted, its production number is stamped into the metal of the block, and a decalcomania reading 'international Built' is affixed.
About 75 percent of International's total production of rebuilt engines during the period involved was sold to retail outlets owned by the taxpayer, and the remainder was sold to other retailers, including occasional sales to Sears, Roebuck andCompany which sells rebuilt engines under its own name. It gives a written warranty with the sale of its product that is more generous in terms than the warranty given with the sale of a newly-manufactured engine. Both by word of mouth salesmanship and by written advertisement its rebuilt engines are described to the public as giving 'brand new performance' and written advertisements describe the product in such terms as 'factory rebuilt', 'precision rebuilt' and 'remanufactured motors'.
The old engines used by it as a source of salvageable parts are malfunctioning and not serviceable. Except as to size of certain components, the rebuilt engines produced by it meet the factory specifications of the original manufacturer. The rebuilt engines produced by it are not the same

Further stipulated and set forth were the corporate powers of the City of Mesquite under its home rule charter, adopted August 22, 1953, and the purposes of its comprehensive zoning ordinance. The respective homes and residences ofplaintiffs A.

The real property owned by other individual plaintiffs adjoin the Franklin property on its south side.
On December 3, 1958 this suit was filed along with issuance of temporary restraining order. A development plan of the proposed Memorial Park cemetery was introduced in evidence, showing the location and future use to be made of the property; which plan had been approved by the City Plan Commission and City Council of Mesquite, indicating a buffer zone of churches and residences between the proposed cemetery layout and adjoining property. The testimony shows without dispute the existence of an old cemetery within the City;

It contended that the claimant was injured prior to August 7, 2006, and that the prior injury was not job-related. It also maintained that her prior injury was not aggravated by a work-related injury. The employer further alleged that prior to her alleged work-related injury, the claimant was already planning to have the surgery she was now requesting under workers' compensation. In July *1041 2007, the employer filed an amended answer in which it asserted forfeiture of the claimant's right to benefits due to false statements under La. R.S. 23:1208.
In August 2007, the claimant filed her first amended disputed claim for compensation with OWC, in which she asserted an occupational disease. In response, the employer filed a general denial.
Trial was held on December 3, 2007. The claimant testifiedas to the circumstances surrounding her August 2006 work-related accident. She admitted that she had been suffering from shoulder problems prior to this incident. She stated that the onset of these problems was gradual and she believed it was related to the repetition in her work. In July 2006, her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. John Mays, found a tear in her rotator cuff; he wanted to schedule surgery. She testified that when she told her supervisors about the proposed surgery, they asked her to delay it as long as possible, and she agreed. When she saw Dr. Mays after her work-related accident, he refused to let her work without another MRI. Based on the MRI results, he felt she had aggravated her prior problem. After the accident, her shoulder

pain was much worse. The claimant explained that when she tried to have her scheduled shoulder surgery moved up, her private insurer refused to pay for it on the basis that her injury was work related. She testified that she has not worked since the incident and that she retired from Schumpert with a severance package in April 2007.
On cross-examination, the claimant testified about prior injuries. According to the claimant, she was injured many times while working in the radiology department because she had to move heavy patients by herself. As required by her job, she reported all of these injuries, including muscle strains; she had a total of 11. These included being hospitalized in traction for a week 10 to 20 years ago. She was also questionedabout several Lortab prescriptions given to her by her doctors for back and shoulder pain shortly before the instant injury.
Both sides admitted medical records of the claimant into evidence. The claimant also introduced several depositions, including those of Dr. Mays, Ms. Mayence and Dr. Shane Barton, an orthopedic surgeon who gave a second opinion. Dr. Mays testified that he first saw the claimant in July 2006; she complained of right shoulder pain that had been ongoing for years. He ordered an MRI, which showed a partial tear of the rotator cuff tendon; he recommended surgery. He also saw her the day after her work incident; she had greatly reduced range of motion from her prior visits. He ordered an MRI with contrast; it showed a rotator cuff tear

tendinous with a flap tear and impingement. Dr. Mays found her history and complaints credible, and he concluded that it was more likely than not that she suffered an aggravation of a preexisting condition. He opined that this would require more extensive surgery to repair.
Dr. Barton testified that he too found the claimant's history reliable and consistent with the injury he diagnosed. Based upon his exam and the patient's history, he believed that she suffered an aggravation of her longstanding shoulder condition. He agreed that she required surgery. Both doctors testified that since one MRI was with contrast and the other without, they could not compare them and determine if they showed the same tear.
In her deposition, Ms. Mayence testified that she was in the x-ray holding roomwhen the claimant entered crying. Her arm was hanging by her side and she appeared to be in great pain. After dealing with the patient the claimant had been *1042 scanning, Ms. Mayence accompanied the claimant to the ER.
The claimant also introduced the deposition of Joanne Cannatella, who worked for the third-party administrator of the employer's workers compensation program. She testified that she felt the claimant's injury was not compensable because she had previously had this condition and the surgery recommended was the same one she already had scheduled.
Thomas Postles, the clinical supervisor at the radiology department, testified for the employer. He recounted the claimant's work history and her failure to pass her exam to become a registered ultrasound technician. However, he admitted that being registered was not

ES potential in the Bornhöved Lakes District resembles the distribution for Schleswig-Holstein.**
In general, the two BBNs delivered similar probability distributions. The greatest difference existed between the nutrient regulation ES demand. The Bornhöved Lakes District was characterized by higher demands compared to Schleswig-Holstein. This was reflected in the probability distribution of the nutrient regulation ES budget which identified higher probabilities for an unsustainable ES budget in the Bornhöved Lakes District. Similar to the BBN for Schleswig-Holstein, the BBN for the Bornhöved Lakes District also identified the Geest as an area with high probabilities for relatively low nutrient regulation ES potentials and relatively high nutrient regulation ES demand. However, minor differences became apparent with regard to the magnitude of the mismatch. The mismatch at the scale of the Bornhöved LakesOver the last few years, the perception around Steam has changed somewhat. Valve's storefront has gone from being the biggest name in PC gaming to having a more problematic relationship with both the development community and players.
Creators have found that due to the sheer number of releases coming to the platform - especially following Steam Direct's 2017 rollout - it's far harder to actually be seen and go on to have success on the storefront. At the end of 2018, as criticism against Steam grew and grew, Fortnite maker Epic Games launched its own store, offering a more competitive revenue share - 88:12 versus Steam's 70:30 - with many seeing this as some real competition to Valve finally emerging. The company hasn't stopped trying to improve Steam though,

Rust Belt city. Downtown has become a vibrant place for people to live, work and play. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame attracts tourists from near and far, and Republicans are bringing their national nominating convention here next year. But not far away are neighborhoods ravaged by poverty and blight, and a long history of ill will between citizens and police, especially on Cleveland's overwhelmingly black east side.
The Justice Department slammed police in December when Eric Holder, attorney general at the time, announced that a lengthy investigation concluded officers unnecessarily fired their guns, hit suspects in the head with their weapons, and punched and used Tasers on people already handcuffed.
Discontent with police has gone beyond allegations of excessive force. Six years ago, the department came under criticismfollowing the discovery of 11 women's bodies in a home where the stench of death hung over a poverty-stricken neighborhood for months. The victims' families accused police of failing to properly investigate the disappearances because most of the women were drug addicts and poor.
Mayors have for decades struggled to rein in the police department. Jackson and his administration have made a very public show in the past weeks of how they're working to keep the peace before a judge delivers his verdict for the trial of Michael Brelo in the 137-shot case.
What has helped ease the tension so far is Cleveland's long history of electing black leaders along with a strong network of seasoned activists and clergy in the black community, said Ronnie Dunn, an urban affairs professor

to the Secretary of State as a candidate for member of the House of Representatives in the State Legislature.
Plaintiff-appellant, William E. Stavis, duly filed on August 11, 1967, his qualifying papers and paid the required fee to be a candidate in the Democratic primary election to be held November 4, 1967, for nomination for the office of member of the State House of Representatives from Representative District No. 22, composed of Ward 4 of Orleans Parish. After having thus qualified, his qualification was attacked by formal protest timely filed by Joseph E. Songy, Jr., an alleged qualified elector of the Representative District in question. The substance of the protest is simply that Mr. Stavis is not a resident, as required by law, of the district in which heseeks to be a candidate, but is, instead, a resident of Ward 9 and Representative District No. 26 of Orleans Parish.
Following the filing of the protest, the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee, of which Henry J. Engler, Jr. is chairman, notified Mr. Stavis, who answered timely. A hearing was had by the committee on August 21, 1967. At the *674 conclusion of the hearing, a resolution was adopted in effect holding that William E. Stavis is not a resident of Representative District No. 22, composed of Ward 4 of Orleans Parish. Accordingly he was held disqualified to be a candidate in the November 4, 1967 Democratic primary election, and the chairman was directed to so notify the Secretary of State and to return to Mr. Stavis the deposit

For these reasons, the judgment of the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of August 31, 1967, dismissing the petition for mandamus at petitioner's cost is reversed.
It is now ordered, adjudged and decreed that the protest to the candidacy of petitioner William E. Stavis in the Democratic Party primary election to be held on November 4, 1967, for nomination for the office of member of the State House of Representatives from Representative District No. 22, composed of Ward 4 of the Parish of Orleans, be dismissed.
It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed that writs of mandamus issue to Henry J. Engler, Jr., Chairman of the Orleans ParishDemocratic Executive Committee and to said committee ordering and commanding said chairman and committee to accept the qualifying papers of William E. Stavis as a candidate for nomination for the office of member of the State House of Representatives from Representative District No. 22 of Ward 4 of the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, in the primary election to be held on November 4, 1967, and to certify forthwith the name of William E.

police were apparently caught unawares by demonstrators who split away from a march involving tens of thousands of people protesting against the government and the effects of the recession.
Opponents of the government, including trade unionists and revolutionary socialists carrying red flags, were joined by students demonstrating against a recently approved university reform bill and people left homeless by the L'Aquila earthquake last year. The marchers filled the broad, long avenue that runs from the Colosseum through Rome's ancient forums.
But as they approached the labyrinthine historic centre, where both houses of parliament are located, there were already warnings of the violence to come. Several explosions rocked the city as groups of demonstrators broke away from the march to detonate homemade firecracker bombs.
One was thrown at a government politician ashe left parliament. Police and protesters soon clashed in several parts of Rome, leaving several areas of the city strewn with burned-out cars, shattered glass, paving stones and rubble from barricades that had been thrown up by demonstrators and broken down by police.
In the broad Piazza del Popolo, the scene of some of the most violent clashes, two thick pillars of smoke rose from the remains of a barricade and mingled with teargas fired to disperse the protesters. Student demonstrations were also held in several other cities, including Milan where they briefly occupied the stock exchange.

Month: March 2009
The trail of terror continues with cricketers as the latest target. The Mumbai and Lahore attacks, public executions and the murder of over a thousand civilians in the Swat valley by Taliban style terrorists are horrifying examples of atrocities committed by militant groups thriving on political Islam. Global Muslim communities require urgent measures in condemning the agenda of political Islam that distorts religious scriptures to legitimise violence. This ideology of Islamism is threatening to replace a moderate and spiritual Islam, leading to the destruction of society, particularly oppressing women and minorities.
Muslims have a moral responsibility to engage in the social, political and economic development of the societies they live in. Global Muslim societies would do well in following the exceptional efforts of the Indian clerics inrefering to salaf, the venerated companions of the Prophet. In this blinkered view, no other version of religious truth can exist. This new face of Islam has nothing to do with Sufis, music, poetry, miracles or the countless devotional customs of Muslim cultures across the world.
Under the patronage of the Saudi Arabia, Wahabism went from strength to strength. Abul Ala Mawdudi, a journalist who translated the Quran outside the paradigms of classical propagated the Wahabi ideology. He founded the political party Jamaat e Islami in Pakistan, making jihad central to Islamic discourse. Addressing non-Muslims as infidels, he grouped Muslims into ‘partial’ and ‘true’ Muslims. Mawdudi’s ideas of Islam as a revolutionary doctrine to take over governments and overturn the whole universal order deeply influenced Syed Qutub of the

fame is that he belongs to the Gandhi family. He joined BJP following in his mother’s footsteps in a mad race for power. His five years in BJP has been frustrating. In 2004, he could not contest elections since he was not 25; now he is eligible. Varun wanted to make sure that his debut electoral entry was akin to big bang theory. This is precisely for this reason that he intentionally opted for a provocative poll speech. Varun wants to be like his powerful father who was the centre of attention as well as attraction for even union ministers. It is a well-known fact that Bansi Lal, the then Defence minister, took the two candidates for admiral to be questioned by Sanjay. And When Sanjay Gandhi visitedJaipur; on his way 501 arches were erected in his honour! And at Lucknow airport when Sanjay stumbled on the tarmac and lost the sleeper, it was picked up by UP chief minister. He very reverentially handed it back to Sanjay. Today, Varun is trapped in such a political quagmire that his sleeper will not handed back to him even by an airhostess of a third class airline!
Varun Gandhi’s plight and stature is exactly opposite of Sanjay Gandhi. Sanjay Gandhi wielded so much influence in Indian politics that anybody opposing his diktat was doomed. When Kishore Kumar refused to sing for programmes organised to raise money for Sanjay Gandhi’s notorious family planning, coercion and force were used by Sanjay’s men to boycott Kishore Kumar.

Nature's truth and tragedy unfolded in a dramatic scene on Monterey Bay last week when a pack of 20 orcas attacked a mother gray whale and its calf.
The fight, which lasted more than two hours,was witnessed and photographed by field scout Bart Selby and dozens aboard whale-watching boats that cruised at top speeds to the periphery of the scene and cut their engines.
In the past year, Monterey Bay has become the richest marine region on the Pacific Coast. In the past three weeks, it has reached a new peak with unbelievable hordes of anchovies, along with other baitfish, and with that, the highest numbers of salmon, marine birds, sea lions, gray whales, humpback whales and orcas anywhere.
The bay ignited with life again in early April after the howling winds out of the north in late March set off upwelling in the underwater canyon and jump-started the marine food chain.

In a 44-page ruling issued by the judge on Friday, partnerships formed by Easton attorney Dominick Lockwood and Jacob and Asher Seip are ordered dissolved. The judge appointed Bangor attorney Alan B.

Philip Brailsford shot and killed 26-year-old Daniel Shaver in the hallway of a hotel in early 2016.
Bodycam footage of the incident, released after the verdict, showed Mr Shaver on his knees asking officers not to shoot him just before he was killed.
Mr Brailsford was acquitted of murder and a lesser manslaughter charge.
Mr Shaver was shot five times with a semi-automatic rifle as he crawled towards the officers, sobbing.

The *first family session* is devoted to sharing family narratives and addressing differences in experiences and interpretations across the family. This session usually has the children sharing their timelines or timemaps with the parents invited to share their experiences or clarify misunderstandings or misattributions. In the current example, the father was relieved and actually touched to hear that his son avoided him when he said goodbye because he was so upset and afraid that he would disappoint his dad if he cried.

'From Man to Bacteria': W.D. Hamilton, the theory of inclusive fitness, and the post-war social order.
W.D. Hamilton's theory of inclusive fitness aimed to define the evolved limits of altruism with mathematical precision. Although it was meant to apply universally, it has been almost irretrievably entwined with the particular case of social insects that featured in his famous 1964 papers. The assumption that social insects were central to Hamilton's early work contradicts material in his rich personal archive. In fact, careful study of Hamilton's notes, letters, diaries, and early essays indicates the extent to which he had humans in mind when he decided altruism was a topic worthy of biological inquiry. For this reason, this article reconsiders the role of extra-scientific factors in Hamilton's early theorizing. In doing so,Colbert Nation to Conquer Outer Space
Stephen Colbert always has his eye out for naming contests. He's managed to get his name on an ice cream flavor, a Hungarian bridge, and a bald eagle. Thanks to his fans' enthusiasm for write-in campaigns, he might get a room in the International Space Station!
NASA wants the public to name the upcoming addition to the space station, now called Node 3. NASA has opened public voting until March 20th. Node 1 is called Unity, and Node 2 is called Harmony. Besides providing astronauts with a spectacular view of Earth, Node 3 will also convert urine into drinking water. Who wouldn't want his name attached to such a life-giving node!

injuries, or is simply mentally drained from the psychic assault of his marital problems and his game of contractual chicken with Sir Alex, Rooney is a shadow of the player who scored 26 league goals last season. His is not just a dip in form, it's a Tiger-worthy collapse.
Unlike other positions, strikers are justifiably evaluated by the number of goals they score. Since March 2010, Rooney has tallied a whopping five goals in the EPL, two of which were from the penalty spot. By contrast, in that same time frame, City's Carlos Tevez has 22. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian nicotine patch, Dimitar Berbatov, has 17 for United and Balotelli, who has suited up for City only nine times since he was bought from Inter for $37 million dollars, hasknocked in five of his own. In fact, Balotelli's hat trick against Aston Villa was exactly three times Rooney's total output from open play this entire Premiership season.
Remember those blazing, brutal strikes that made defenders look hapless and goalkeepers seem like fire hydrants? Probably not, as you'd have to jump into your DeLorean and head back 10 months to see multiple Rooney goals of that quality. What has happened to the dead-eye shooting boots that made Wazza one of the sport's most feared and clinical finishers and England's great hope for World Cup glory? Did he leave them in that hotel room along with his $300 cigarettes?
And while it's no disgrace for Rooney to trail the resurgent Berbatov in the United scoring column, Sir Alex and his minions

The Home owners that applied for a LOAN in 2003 that he never got, that was funded by the borrower himself on collateral that the BANK stole from the homeowner; which he was never informed about; who paid a deposit down on the home, who paid years of interest and principal payments, that maintained the home, BUILT THE HOME from the rot up over nearly two years at great expense; that protected the home; that expanded the home, defended the home over the last seven years from foreign attorneys banned from ever operating in America whoand relying on dumbed down Americans like those in OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT to wage an unlawful war on their own brothers and sisters who are fully in their rights to protect their own property GIVEN AWAY BY A FOREIGN COURT IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW OF THE LAND WHICH IS AN ACT OF TREASON!

Downfall of Diana's dress designer: Elizabeth Emmanuel turns to crowdfunding in a bid to relaunch her fashion career
When Lady Diana Spencer asked up-and-coming fashion talent Elizabeth Emmanuel to create a dress for her big day in 1981, the designer seemed set for stardom.But 32 years on from Princess Diana's wedding, Emmanuel has been forced to turn to crowdfunding in a bid to relaunch her fashion career.
In a post on crowdfunding website, Crowdcube, the designer has asked investors to help her raise £750,000, although only £28,000 has been raised so far.
'Recognised for dressing some of the world's most glamorous and influential women including Princess Diana's royal wedding dress, Elizabeth Emanuel is now embarking on a new venture.' reads the accompanying post.
'Art of Being will be the commercial vehicle bringingfrocks on two separate occasions last week.

The hair follicles are caused to flow through the needle and into the saline solution stream by reduced pressure responsive to flow of the saline solution through the venturi or tube constriction located near the base of the needle in the harvesting tube. The saline stream containing the hair follicles is then directed from the harvesting tube through a screen in a disposable follicle harvesting apparatus or a screen in a follicle collection vessel, which retains the hair follicles on the screen and returns the saline solution to the pump for continued circulation through the harvesting tube. The screen is periodicallyan axis extending therebetween A blade is on the distal end of the shaft normal to the axis of the shaft, and an escape port is provided in the wall of the shaft near the distal end. The instrument is inserted into the skin to a preselected depth where the skin is below the escape port to form a cylindrical incision. The instrument is then removed from the skin. The step of inserting the instrument into the skin is repeated, with any accumulated skin in the shaft being forced through the escape port. In this way, the shaft does not become clogged with tissue after repeated use. A graft of skin having at least one hair is then placed into at least one of the cylindrical incisions.

After the initial voir dire of No. Four, the prosecutor, whose peremptory challenges had been exhausted, informed the court that the juror had been observed speaking with a female spectator in the courtroom before being summoned to the jury box. The government moved to remove No. Four. Counsel for Lillian Perez objected and the court denied the motion. Before opening arguments, the prosecution again moved that No. Four be removed. The prosecutor reported that the woman spectator with whom No. Four had spoken was the girlfriend of Carlos Hernandez, one of the defendants, and that No. Four had later been observed winking, smiling and nodding his head at the defendants. Counsel for Rodriguez objected, and the court, after a voir dire of No.Four, denied the government's motion.

Juror No. Four remained a source of controversy. On the first day of trial, the court admonished him to pay attention to the proceedings. The next morning, before the jury was brought in, Judge Bartels expressed misgivings about the juror:

Gentleman, I am a little worried about juror number four. As you noted yesterday I had to tell him to pay attention. He was talking to juror number three. I understand he has kicked the chair of juror number three and juror number one had to reprimand him.

and central Gujarat. Small farmers and landless labourers, they were once employed as soldiers of the former princely states of Gujarat.The Other Backward Castes or OBCs have so far divided their vote between the Congress and the BJP. Alpesh Thakor intends to change that. That his influence permeates castes beyond his own is based in part on his vigorous and effective campaign against the black marketing of alcohol in a dry state and illiteracy. To fight both, in 2011, he established the Kshatriya Thakor Sena, which claims 6.5 lakh members. Its volunteers run coaching classes for students who want to go to college and need to clear entrance exams. The centres are funded through donations and as I saw two years ago, in Mehsana district in North Gujarat,they were attracting poor youth from every caste and community, not just the Thakors.Then, in 2016, a fiery 22-year-old emerged overnight as a lightning rod for the powerful Patel or Patidar caste. Brandishing a sword, a turban on his head, Hardik Patel made his threat to the BJP clear: the Patels, once wealthy supporters of the party, would relocate politically unless they were given a share of reserved jobs and seats in state-run educational institutions. His call swelled to such immense proportions that it forced the BJP to change the Chief Minister - Anandiben was replaced by Vijay Rupani; 12 young Patel men were killed in clashes with the police; and Hardik's being banned from Gujarat for six months as part of the conditions for his bail after

for the subterranean shopping mall, her new credit card in her pocket.
She and five friends from school descended a staircase from the sidewalk down to the mall. Hundreds of girls walking arm in arm crowded the halls, laughing, shopping and talking on cell phones. Store upon store, no larger than walk-in closets, offered a paradise targeted at You Mi's generation: metallic handbags, low-rise jeans, high-heeled boots, skin-care creams, digital cameras and American-style sneakers.
You Mi wasted no time. She bought a handbag, shoes and a new jacket. She went to a wall of ATM machines and pulled out a couple of hundred more so she could get her hair done at a salon.
She felt grown up. She felt popular. When she invited her group of friends to dinner anddrinks at a soju bar, they all said yes.
By the day's end, she had spent the equivalent of $600. She felt a pang of worry about how she would pay the money back without a job. But a week later, the pang had subsided. It was Friday, and her friends wanted to go out again.
Soon, the Friday outings became a regular habit for You Mi and her companions. Her wealthy friends rarely offered to pay after the pork cutlets and kimchi were eaten, but You Mi relished her newfound generosity and didn't complain.
It was easy for her to get sucked into the shopping culture in Busan. Fashion is a major cultural preoccupation for South Koreans, who crowd the glittering neon shopping districts at night to window-shop and people-watch.

decision was based on interviews with You Mi's attorney, and on You Mi's written story, which was translated into English by the same interpreter who worked with The Chronicle.
You Mi's story was bolstered by May's interviews with more than 100 people over a 10-month period, including female sex-trafficking victims, current and former sex workers, men who pay for sexual services, federal sex-trafficking investigators, owners of sex establishments, U.S. Border Patrol agents, customs agents, U.S. and Korean government officials, university researchers, attorneys and numerous social workers who provide shelter, support and legal aid to trafficking victims.
May's reporting was supplemented by numerous court documents and research papers. She attended sex-trafficking conferences, sat through court hearings and attended a Bay Area police-training seminar on human trafficking. She went inside five allegedSan Francisco brothels with Mayor Gavin Newsom and city health-and-safety inspection teams, and witnessed customers, brothel managers and sex workers answering police questions.
May met You Mi Kim in September 2005. Over the course of 10 months, May interviewed You Mi with the help of a professional interpreter provided by Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach in San Francisco.
To research the sex culture and trafficking industry in South Korea, May interviewed Bong Hyup Chung, the government's top sex-trafficking official at the South Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. May and Fitzmaurice met women in sex-worker shelters, and visited with more than a dozen agencies that offer sanctuary and social support to trafficked women. In South Korea, May interviewed two women who had been trafficked to California and one to

The invention relates to deck winches, and more particularly to an improved winch having provision for removal of the main shaft for maintenance or repair without detachment of the winch base from the deck.
Previously, deck winches have had to be removed in their entirety from a deck in order to pull the main shaft. This was due to the fact that the retaining structure for keeping the shaft in place to prevent upward movement was typically a clip device coacting between a groove in the main shaft, near its bottom, and a portion of the winch base surrounding the main shaft near the lower end. The clip device was accessible only from the underside of the winch base, so that the base itself had to be removed torelease the shaft.
This situation was objectionable in that a great deal of time was required to perform any maintenance or replacement functions on the main shaft. One would normally be required to remove the winch drum, then remove a series of bolts circumferentially positioned around the winch base and passing through the vessel deck, then invert the inner winch structure to release the clip to permit the shaft's removal. In some situations, the bolts would be difficult to remove because the bolt heads would be below the deck and would have to be held. Of course, replacement of the winch on the deck following the main shaft's maintenance operation was also time consuming and sometimes difficult.

administration. Some experimental data support also the occurrence of pro- and anti-oxidant disturbances in the cerebellum and in other regions of the central nervous system after chronic ethanol administration. Chronic ethanol administration enhances lipid peroxidation in the heart. The increased conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase into xanthine oxidase as well as the activation of peroxisomal acyl CoA-oxidase linked to ethanol administration could contribute to the oxidative stress. Chronic ethanol administration elicits in the testes an enhancement in mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and a decrease in the glutathione level, which appear to be correlated to the gross testicular atrophy observed. Vitamin A supplementation attenuates the changes in lipid peroxidation, glutathione and testicular morphology.

of conviction is affirmed.
Testimony elicited at the trial established the facts to be as follows: On September 24, 1968, at approximately 11:25 a.m., one John Crandall, while walking in the vicinity of First Street near McKinley in the City of Phoenix, was attacked and robbed of $29.00 and a number of credit cards. As a result of this attack, Mr. Crandall suffered serious bodily injuries including a broken nose and jaw, with cuts near his eye, and the loss of three front teeth. The attack was so sudden that neither Mr. Crandall nor the witnesses of the crime could identify the assailants. The witnesses did establish that two male Negroes committed the robbery and escaped with two other Negroes in a car which they described as a 1959Pontiac, license number 4FN-857, and later identified as belonging to the defendant Beard.
*390 Defendant's presence in the vicinity of the crime was established by two officers who testified that they stopped defendant's car approximately 15 minutes before and 4 1/2 blocks from the place of the robbery. Defendant was identified by the officers as the driver of the car. The car and its occupants were routinely examined and released.
Edmond Woods, who was present in the defendant's car on the day in question, was a witness for the State. He testified that on March 27, 1969, he and Beard were with one Carl Smith and Alvin deGrate. The four drove off that morning with Beard and Smith in the front, Woods and deGrate in the back. A few blocks

Each suite is approximately 1500 sq ft except for the basement unit which actually spans the entire bottom of the building.
Residents of the Carhart Lofts will love the proximity to necessary area amenities, with grocery store just up the street, a Shoppers Drug Mart just one block east on Queen, and plenty of restaurants and cafes to enjoy both on King and Queen St east. In terms of transportation, entrances to the DVP and gardiner expressway are a short distance away, as are queen east and west streetcar stops.1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a small food storage container, and more particularly, to a small food storage container that is configured to open and close external air introduced into a food storing space through the application of an external pressure to a food storing body and the release of the applied external pressure from the food storing body and to open and close the movement of food from the food storing space to a food filling space in a gentle manner.
2. Background of the Related Art
A small food storage container is generally used to store gelled food such as ketchup, hot pepper paste, mayonnaise and the like therein and to squeeze it whenever needed.
Generally, such gelled food is sold in a market in

invention, which discloses a small food storage container including: a body having a food storing space contracted in shape if an external pressure is applied thereto and returned to its original shape if the applied external pressure is removed, a food outlet, and an air inlet formed on the top portion of the food storing space to introduce external air into the food storing space and having such a size capable of injecting food thereinto; an air inlet stopper made of a synthetic resin in such a manner as to be separably coupled to the air inlet and having an air hole punched thereon to allow the external air to be introduced into the air inlet of the body after introduced into the interior thereof and an airhole opening/closing part adapted to close the air hole by means of the discharge pressure generated from the food storing space and to be separated from the air hole by means of the suction pressure generated from the food storing space to allow the air to be introduced into the air hole; an outlet stopper mounted on the food outlet of the body to prevent the food outlet from being contaminated and to control the discharging of the food.
However, the above-mentioned conventional small food storage container achieves smooth discharging, but when the food is discharged, a large quantity of food may be momentarily discharged from the food storing space. That is, a quantity of food discharged cannot be accurately controlled, and further, a portion around the food outlet

1803.France sold this land to the United States known as the Louisiana Purchase.
In 1819 The United States and Spain signed the Adams–Onís Treaty that ceded Florida to the United States and defined the boundary between the U.S. and Spain. For the purposes of our tale, this boundary line ran along the Red River west to the 100th Meridian, and then north to the Arkansas river.
When this treaty was signed they used a map that showed the Red River as one continuous river to the 100th meridian. Little did they know the Red River actually forks many miles east of the 100th meridian.
In 1852, Capts. Randolph B. Marcy and George B. McClellan were sent to explore the Red and Canadian rivers. Captain McClellan used astronomical observations to establish the100th Meridian. However, he made a mistake and placed the meridian one degree east of its actual location. This made the meridian intersect the north fork of the Red River. This lead Capt. Marcy to believe the north fork was the main channel of the Red River.
Thus began years of confusion regarding the Red River and the Texas border. Texas claimed the land south of the North Fork and the United States claimed the land north of the South Fork.
On February 9, 1860, Texas created Greer County, named in honor of John A. Greer, a former lieutenant governor of Texas, in the area between the north and south forks of the Red River. They started allocating land, setting up post offices, and named Mangum as the county seat.

a 154.4kph blinder. His fastest delivery and faster than Lee had bowled in 18 months.
In the third Test against New Zealand Lee rejoined the pace race. He bowled three stand-out balls in the match, two of them measuring 153kph and one touching in at 154.5kph. That was faster than he had bowled in Australia since his debut season in 1999-2000, only 1.5kph from his fastest ball and more importantly 0.1kph faster than Hayward's personal best set the previous month.
In the first South African Test in Adelaide, Hayward shocked both commentators and fans alike with his new-found pace.
In the second Test, Lee was back in the express lane again, bowling in the high 140s on occasion and breaking the 150kph barrier.
When the South African captain finally let Hayward loosefor a long spell he came out swinging. He notched up speeds of 150.2kph and 150.1kph twice in a torrid spell. He was in the 150kph zone for the first time on Australian soil, but one ball in the middle of the spell was of special significance.
Hayward bowled a ball to Steve Waugh which came in at 154.3kph, just 0.2kph under Lee's fastest ball and only 0.1kph below his own quickest. Of particular note was that the ball was bowled to Steve Waugh and that Waugh came within a whisker of playing on as did Sachin Tendulkar.
Lee stopped the gun at the 150.5kph mark in the second innings of the third Test. But a new challenger was yet to emerge.

The principal of a special education school in Jamaica has found that primary schools are sending many students who have no intellectual disabilities to her institution. According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Principal Sylvestina Reid of Randolph Lopez School of Hope finds that at the beginning or end of the school year, there is an increase in the number of students referred to the special education school. When students are tested, it is found that what was characterised as learning difficulties in many of them turned out to be behavioural problems, and students are sent back to their primary schools as they are not in fact intellectually disabled. The principal has warned teachers not to label students as having learning disabilities without doing proper assessment.
This problem of children beinghave been an obvious flag to the school that these students with a common experience could not all suddenly have developed learning disabilities.
Sometimes, there are health problems or other physical problems which impact the progress of students. Teachers can often miss these signs. After all, a teacher may not have the ability or the information to make a proper assessment. But that gives even more reason to exercise caution before labelling students as unable to learn. Hearing and sight problems often contribute to the slow progress of some students. University professor Scott Barry Kaufman was one such student. He had a hearing disorder which meant there was a time lag in his hearing. As a result, he performed poorly on an IQ test at age nine and was

In the scenario of the next wave of the pound's decline, support will be provided by the lower limit of the Bollinger Bands indicator near 1.3051. A break of the upper border of the indicator in the region of 1.3122 will increase the demand for the pound.
Today, all the attention of the markets will be drawn to the publication of data on employment in the US, which may for some time revive the financial markets in the wake of high uncertainty in the trade negotiation process between the US and China in recent months, as well as the UK's exit from the EU that signals about the slowdown of the global economy clogged into narrow ranges.
According to the presented forecasts,it is expected that the US economy has received 175,000 new jobs in March against the value of 20,000 in February. The number of people employed in the private sector increased by 170,000 against 25,000 a month earlier. It is assumed that the unemployment rate will remain at the same level of 3.8%.
The data on the number of initial claims for unemployment benefits showed their decrease to 202,000 against the forecast increase of 216,000 and the previous upward revised value of 212,000, which show that the situation on the labor market still remains above the average values. Therefore, it is likely that the values for non-farm employment presented today may be higher than the forecast. Against this background, the US dollar may receive local support, adding to all

as the news background may not support the euro both today and in the following days, which may force the markets to switch to new sales.
Today the US Labor Department is due to release a Non-Farm Employment Change for March. The data of crucial importance will detemine the direction of USD/CAD in the coming days. Recently USD has been dominated by CAD which led to certain volatility and indecisiveness in the pair.
The US employment in the public and private sectors is expected to bounce in March following the lowest level in 17 months in February. Indeed, certain sectors like construction expanded significantly. The consensus suggests that the US economy added about 171,000 jobs in March. This is notable increase after minor employment growth of 20,000 jobs in February.brought him to Co Cavan, crossing the Border at or near Swanlinbar.
During a sustained 30-minute attack in the horsebox, Mr Lunney was slashed on the side of his neck, below his ear and around the area of a carotid artery. Had it been punctured, he would almost certainly have died, a number of sources have said.
Great pain
As it was, he was taken from the site of the beating, driven to a crossroads near Cornafean, Co Cavan, 12km west of Cavan town, where he was dumped on the side of the road. There, he was found at about 9pm, practically incoherent and in great pain.
He was discovered by a young tractor driver working for a local contractor. The young man and his mother comforted Mr Lunney, who asked that

The provincial protests numbered in the hundreds, despite temperatures dipping to 30 degrees below zero Celsius at some locations. Police presence was moderate and the protests were loud but mostly peaceful.
A reported 17 anti-government protesters were arrested in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, where their demonstration had not been sanctioned, Interfax reported.

was a principled stand against Russia's bullying of a smaller state. The U.S. president also noted its allies were united against Russia's aggression, while Moscow faced diplomatic isolation and a tattered economy.
President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015.
Lavrov said the U.S. had pressured allies such as Europe and Japan to gang up on Russia.
He said Tuesday's speech by the president shows that at the center of that philosophy is only one thing: 'We are number one and everyone else has to respect that.' Lavrov said this is a little outdated and does not reflect today's reality. It demonstrates, he said, that the U.S. wants to dominate the world and cannot merelybe first among equals.
Russia's foreign minister said Western attempts to isolate it would fail.
Russia's economy
Western nations hit Russia with economic and diplomatic sanctions after the Kremlin annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula last March. They widened the sanctions against Moscow after accusing it of sending weapons and troops in eastern Ukraine to support pro-Russia separatists and thereby maintain leverage over the European-leaning government in Kyiv.
The Russian government continues to deny it is helping the rebels militarily.
The sanctions have helped push Russia's economy into recession as the price of oil, its major export, dropped by more than half.
Lavrov rejected accusations Wednesday by Kyiv that Russia sent fresh troops and weapons this week to support the separatists.
He said Russia has heard the accusations concerning the flow of troops and weapons many times,

by citizens of the United States from
Spanish cruisers more than 20 years before, which had not been redressed.
These losses had been acknowledged and provided for by a treaty as far
back as the year 1802, which, although concluded at Madrid, was not then
ratified by the Government of Spain, nor since, until the last year, when
it was suspended by the late treaty, a more satisfactory provision to both
parties, as was presumed, having been made for them. Other differences
had arisen in this long interval, affecting their highest interests, which
were likewise provided for by this last treaty.
The treaty itself was formed on great consideration and a thorough knowledge
of all circumstances, the subject matter of every article having been for
years under discussion and repeated references having been made by the
minister of Spain tohis Government on the points respecting which the
greatest difference of opinion prevailed. It was formed by a minister duly
authorized for the purpose, who had represented his Government in the United
States and been employed in this long- protracted negotiation several years,
and who, it is not denied, kept strictly within the letter of his instructions.
The faith of Spain was therefore pledged, under circumstances of peculiar
force and solemnity, for its ratification.
On the part of the United States this treaty was evidently acceded to
in a spirit of conciliation and concession. The indemnity for injuries
and losses so long before sustained, and now again acknowledged and provided
for, was to be paid by them without becoming a charge on the treasury of
Spain. for territory ceded by Spain other territory of great value, to
which our claim

was believed to be well founded, was ceded by the United
States, and in a quarter more interesting to her. This cession was nevertheless
received as the means of indemnifying our citizens in a considerable sum,
the presumed amount of their losses.
Other considerations of great weight urged the cession of this territory
by Spain. It was surrounded by the Territories of the United States on
every side except on that of the ocean. Spain had lost her authority over
it, and, falling into the hands of adventurers connected with the savages,
it was made the means of unceasing annoyance and injury to our Union in
many of its most essential interests. By this cession, then, Spain ceded
a territory in reality of no value to her and obtained concessions of the
highest importance by the settlement of long-standingpossession relating to it.
Anxious to prevent all future disagreement with Spain by giving the
most prompt effect to the treaty which had been thus concluded, and particularly
by the establishment of a Government in Florida which should preserve order
there, the minister of the United States who had been recently appointed
to His Catholic Majesty, and to whom the ratification by his Government
had been committed to be exchanged for that of Spain, was instructed to
transmit the latter to the Department of State as soon as obtained, by
a public ship subjected to his order for the purpose.
Unexpected delay occurring in the ratification by Spain, he requested
to be informed of the cause. It was stated in reply that the great importance
of the subject, and a desire to obtain explanations on certain points which
were not

specified, had produced the delay, and that an envoy would be
dispatched to the United States to obtain such explanations of this Government.
The minister of the United States offered to give full explanation on any
point on which it might be desired, which proposal was declined. Having
communicated this result to the Department of State in August last, he
was instructed, notwithstanding the disappointment and surprise which it
produced, to inform the Government of Spain that if the treaty should be
ratified and transmitted here at any time before the meeting of Congress
it would be received and have the same effect as if it had been ratified
in due time.
This order was executed, the authorized communication was made to the
Government of Spain, and by its answer, which has just been received, we
are officially made acquaintedfor the first time with the causes which
have prevented the ratification of the treaty by His Catholic Majesty.
It is alleged by the minister of Spain that his Government had attempted
to alter one of the principal articles of the treaty by a declaration which
the minister of the United States had been ordered to present when he should
deliver the ratification by his Government in exchange for that of Spain,
and of which he gave notice, explanatory of the sense in which that article
was understood. It is further alleged that this Government had recently
tolerated or protected an expedition from the United States against the
Province of Texas. These two imputed acts are stated as the reasons which
have induced His Catholic Majesty to withhold his ratification from the
treaty, to obtain explanations respecting which it
