As a co-chair of the all-party border caucus and as the member of Parliament for the busiest border crossing in western Canada, I look forward to working with Ambassador Jacobson on a variety of areas of mutual concern. In particular, I look forward to working with him on ways that we can improve the efficiency and security of our borders.
On behalf of all the members of the border caucus, I want to warmly welcome Ambassador David Jacobson to Canada.

Michael Edwards reported this story on Monday, September 3, 2012 08:00:00
TIM PALMER: Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai has condemned the Australian military over a raid in which two Afghan men were killed.
Australian soldiers had been searching for the rogue Afghan sergeant who shot dead three Australian troops last week and during the raid they captured a suspected insurgent leader who is thought to have helped the killer to escape.
The Australian Defence Department says the two men killed during that operation were also suspected insurgents, but villagers reportedly say they were civilians.
South Asia correspondent Michael Edwards reports.
MICHAEL EDWARDS: The bodies of the five soldiers who died last week in the deadliest day for Australian forces since Vietnam are returning home. They were farewelled by their comrades in a ceremony atTarin Kowt.
Capturing Sergeant Hek Matullah, the Afghan soldier suspected of shooting Lance Corporal Stjepan Milosevic, Sapper James Martin and Private Robert Poate, remains a high priority.
Sergeant Hek Matullah escaped from the patrol base straight after the killings and he's suspected to have been aided by the Taliban.
After an extensive search Australian troops aided by Afghan forces have detained a suspected insurgent they say helped with the escape.
But the raid has come at a cost. Two Afghan men were killed by Australian troops.
The ADF says all the proper rules of engagement were followed but Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai is furious.
Local reports say those killed were a 70 year old Imam and his son. It's also been reported that the Australian troops detained a number of locals, including a woman,

Aztecs. His worship fuelled the battles and sacrifices of the people, and his temples were built in the hearts of cities. The Templo Mayor contained his temple, and his image was on Moctezuma's Throne
Xipe Totec, or the Flayed one, was the god of the seasons, renewal, and growing things. He was also the patron of gold workers. However, his rituals were still quite bloody. He flayed himself to give humanity food, and was shown as wearing a flayed human skin. Sculptures of this god may have been dressed in the skins of sacrificial victims.
His festival was celebrated on the spring equinox, and required the flaying of victims to produce a skin. The priests would wear these skins for twenty days after the sacrifice, and they were thought tohave magical and curative properties.
Xipe Totec was one of the Aztec gods of the four directions - he was west.

Tláloc, the god of rain and water, was associated with life giving and sustenance and fertility, as well as springs, mountains and caves. He was often depicted with goggle eyes, fangs, and a curled nose. Child sacrifices were made to him, and children were expected to weep in order to bring rain.
Less gruesome sacrifices occurred as well, with little statues being made from dough and offered to him. These dough children were eaten at banquets.
There was a surprising find related to Tlaloc and child sacrifice at the Cholula Pyramid - read more.

The reels are loaded onto the welding machine, which welding machine has been set to a preselected wire feed speed, applied voltage levels and other process parameters. At the end of a reel, a replacement reel of filler wire is loaded onto the machine. In some instances, the end of the wire on the first reel is spliced to the beginning of the wire on the second reel. In this manner, the mass produced repetitive welding operations are performed continuously and economically to reduce the cost of the product being manufactured.

Nadler of New York spent part of Wednesday making phone calls about Democrats' post-election strategies during a train ride where the public, including a reporter, could hear every word
Nadler took an Acela train like this one from New York to Washington, and apparently didn't sit in the designated 'quiet car'
Nadler said Democrats will launch new investigations into the unproven allegation that aides to President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russian agents, going 'all-in' with an eye toward impeaching him
Impeachment is a procedure that involves the House of Representatives debating and voting on whether to 'charge' a federal official like a president, vice president or judge with an offense that fits the U.S. Constitution's definition of 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'
If the House votes to impeach, the Senate convenesa trial and decides whether to reach a conviction and remove the defendant from office.
Only Presidents Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson have been impeached. Both survived in the Senate.
But judges are impeached and booted from their posts more frequently. Four have lost their lifetime appointments that way inthe past 30 years, including one, Alcee Hastings, whose political life found a second act as a Democratic congressman who is still in office.
Nadler's phone calls on Wednesday included one with an unnamed incoming member of Congress who he advised on committee assignments. In another call, according to The Federalist, he 'lamented identity politics and the thriving economy,' worrying aloud that Demorcats will be blamed if the Trump boom slows down.
He also predicted that Democrats would frame their investigations as part

Appellant also claims the state's final argument unfairly prejudiced the jury. Post-verdict motions were denied, and appellant was sentenced to a 103-month prison term. We affirm the trial court.
FACTS
After she had been drinking the evening of May 16, 1990, K.R. was dropped off at Pearson's Bar in Minneapolis where she expected to meet a friend. The friend never arrived, and K.R. continued to drink until Pearson's closed at approximately 1:00 a.m. on the morning of May 17.
Appellant Nathaniel Morgan and his friend John Arradondo spent the evening of May 16th at Norma Jean's, a bar next door to Pearson's. Both men were drinking and when Norma Jean's closed, the men went outside the bar and loitered in the parking lot area where they met K.R. for the firsttime. K.R. agreed to accompany the men to Morgan's apartment where more beer was available.
Appellant and Arradondo claimed K.R. requested to drive the car, which was owned by appellant's girlfriend, and appellant agreed. They testified that while K.R. was driving she made sexual advances toward them. They insist K.R. fell on the stairs leading to appellant's apartment. Once inside, appellant claims they split two beers, whereupon K.R. approached him and suggested they go in his bedroom to have sex. Arradondo testified he then wandered into the living room and fell asleep on the couch.
K.R. claims appellant drove while she sat in the front seat and Arradondo rode in the back. She claimed she knew she was intoxicated at this time, but was aware of her surroundings. She denied

falling on the stairs and recalls being told appellant's roommate was asleep in another room. She also recalled drinking another one-half to two cans of beer. She claims the three of them talked and listened to music while drinking in the kitchen. She then asked for and received directions to the bathroom.
K.R. claims when she left the bathroom, appellant grabbed her by both arms and forced her into the bedroom where he threw her to the bed and removed her pants and underwear so forcefully he tore the underwear. Throughout, K.R. claimed she protested and screamed for assistance. She testified that appellant continually *529 struck her in the face while ordering her to keep quiet. At some point, while appellant was forcibly engaging in intercourse with her, K.R.recalled another person opening the door and asking when it would be his turn and appellant told the other party to get out because he was not yet finished.
Appellant claims K.R. removed her own pants and willingly consented to sexual intercourse. However, he claims after the act was completed K.R. asked for money, which he refused. He claims at that point K.R. began screaming and acting irrationally. He testified K.R. slapped him and he retaliated by slapping her back.
A woman living in the apartment above appellant heard the cries and screams of K.R. over the loud music. She phoned the police, who arrived at the scene and pounded on the door. The police heard someone approach the door and then retreat. They procured a pass key to open

whole world. Out of those same tragedies and catastrophes, however, sprung forth the democracies of Europe and, in the last fifty years, a season of peace has been built on those ruins, a peace that we have a duty to defend, and to carry beyond the borders of the Union: fifty years of peace that have been the greatest achievement of a united Europe.
Today, Ukraine has also changed. As an independent country, a member of the Council of Europe and signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as many other international instruments for the safeguard of these fundamental rights, Ukraine has an extraordinary opportunity to consolidate itself, to bolster its position as a democratic state that respects human rights and the rule of law. Itis reached will the sacrifice of so many innocent victims not have been in vain.
Charles Tannock
on behalf of the PPE-DE Group. - Madam President, the European Union is founded on reconciliation: the belief that we can create a better future by acknowledging our past in all its brutality.
Germany has rightly confronted and sought to atone for the unspeakable horrors of the Nazi era and the Holocaust. The newer Member States of our Union are finding their own ways to seek truth and reconciliation through a frank and uncompromising analysis of their Communist totalitarian past. But some countries still seek to hide from their history. Turkey, for example, in my view still denies the genocide perpetrated on the Armenians and the Assyrians under cover of World War I. Russia

those crimes on another people.
The Holodomor was the product of a totalitarian political regime. All the peoples that were subject to that regime were victims of various similar crimes and hardships. The discussion today should not only remind us that we must always stay united against totalitarianism, but also that the present Ukrainian generation, on behalf and in the memory of the Holodomor victims, must eliminate from their country and their history all authoritarian instincts, inclinations and practices. They have to consolidate their national unity and accomplish together their democratic ideals.
Likewise, our expression of solidarity should inspire the Ukrainians to solidarity and reconciliation, both inside and outside their country. Inside, with their countrymen, who belong to different ethno-cultural groups, and outside with our neighbours.
That is one of thebest ways in which they could become members of the European Union, and, if they choose to take that way, it means that our debate this evening has not been futile. EU membership for Ukraine would be the best historical reparation that the Ukrainians themselves can offer to the victims of Holodomor.
Grażyna Staniszewska
Madam President, the Holodomor, or the artificial famine in Ukraine, is one of the largest-scale crimes committed in Europe during the 20th century. In order to prove that collective economies worked, and to destroy the main threat to the communist Soviet Union, Ukraine's independent farmers, Stalin's regime effected an artificial famine which resulted in the deaths of several million Ukrainians. All the food people had was confiscated. The famine drove large numbers of peoples from the

to ethnic criteria. This applies in particular to the Holocaust. To equate one with the other undermines the argument of the singularity of the national socialist crime of the annihilation of Jews in Europe, the recognition of which has, to date, been the subject of broad democratic consensus.
The severity needed in condemning these events in the Soviet Union requires no such equation. I am convinced that this was the main reason for the declaration by the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine, Mrs Kalay-Kleitman, who stated in an interview with the Serkalo Nedeli that Israel cannot recognise the Holodomor as an act of ethnic genocide.
Thirdly, 10 December 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Human rights are universal and indivisible. You cannot take a selective,circumstantial or expedient approach to them. The 20th century saw a devastating multitude of horrendous crimes which are not comparable but which nonetheless caused the death of millions of innocent people: the First World War, the fascist invasion, the aggression of Japan towards China and Korea, the atomic bombs dropped by the USA on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Stalin's policy against his own people, the ravages of various colonial powers in their spheres of influence, the terror of the Khmer Rouge, the slaughter of Tutsi and Hutus. This horrifying list is almost endless. The European Parliament should have an interest in castigating such inhumanity in all its permutations.
Fourthly, there should never be starvation ever again - either for political or for economic reasons. In view of the billions given

Ukraine is being withdrawn from the quiver of anti-communism in order to serve the needs of the anti-communist campaign and rewrite history, to criminalise the communist ideology and ban actions by communists. There are, moreover, numerous examples which we could cite of countries in which the symbols of, and action by, communist parties are still banned, countries which belong to the European Union.
Thus, an undisguised attempt is being made to distort historic facts and interpret them in an arbitrary and unscientific manner because, quite simply, the basic objective is to underpin the strategic defamation of socialism and communism.
Anticommunism has always accompanied the harshest and most savage attacks against the people. As the anti-grassroots attack by the European Union against the fundamental rights acquired by the working class throughhard struggle and sacrifice becomes stronger, as its exploitation by capital becomes more savage and barbaric, as the imperialist policy of the European Union against countries and nations becomes more aggressive and criminal, so anticommunism, the reactionary defamation of socialism we saw in the 20th century, and the attack on the vanguard of the working class and the oppressed sections of communist parties intensify.
This vulgar propaganda is a sequel to the attempt to use coarse lies and slander in order to blacken, in the eyes of the mainly young people, the massive contribution of the socialist system; its contribution to the defeat of fascism and to the construction, for the first time in the history of mankind, of a society free from the exploitation of man by man.

An attempt is being made to equate socialism, that is, everything progressive born of human thought, with the reactionary and inhumane fascism which is the true child of the barbaric capitalist system.
This specific famine in Ukraine was mainly due, as all objective historians agree, to massive sabotage by the rich peasants who, in reaction to the new Soviet power and collectivisation of the land, first caused a civil war and then destroyed machinery, killed animals, set fire to the property of the kolkhoz and generally sabotaged the sowing and harvesting of crops in any way they could, and to the huge drought and typhus epidemic which broke out in that area of Ukraine at the time.
Obviously, a debate such as this to uncover the historic truth cannot beIt must have been a horrifying sight even for the political commissars serving the authorities. That was how it was in eastern Ukraine. 10 years later, however, a tragedy of the same nature befell the Poles in what was then eastern Poland, albeit on a lesser scale. The nationalist ideology of the Ukrainian UPA, which colluded with the Nazis, resulted in the ethnic cleansing of Poles. The methods were equally savage: burning alive, cutting open pregnant women's stomachs, beheading children with axes. The men were at the front then. Today, this Golgotha of the east, as the survivors call it, is a subject of taboo and embarrassed silence and, most ironically, statues are now being erected to the nationalist leaders of that time.

the Ukrainian nation, and thereby strangle its desire for freedom and to establish its own, independent state. Ukraine, as well as certain regions of southern Russia, the northern Caucasus and Kazakhstan, saw scenes of appalling, horrifying despair, suffering and desperation by entire families that were starving to death.
Today, we want to pay our respects to all those who were killed during the great famine in Ukraine. The victims of mass killings, military massacres and ethnic cleansing equally deserve to have their memories honoured, and for the wrongs committed against them to be remembered. Regardless of the cause for which they were committed, and the ideological goals that drove these actions, the constant element in them is the suffering of the victims.
Let us show solidarity with the Ukrainian people,but let us also ask Ukraine to come to terms with the dark pages in its history. In 1939-1945, nationalists of the Ukrainian National Army brutally murdered 150 000 Poles, mainly women and old people. The husbands and fathers exiled to Siberia may have been living in Gehenna there, but had the hope that their families in the eastern borderlands were safe. Unfortunately, these families fell victim to the nationalists, who saw no place for their Polish neighbours in the new Ukrainian state. The victims of the massacres in the eastern borderlands are waiting for the day when their fate is also written into the common conscience of Europe, as today the victims of the great famine have been.

suffered a tragic famine over 150 years ago, I understand the Ukrainian desire to have the victims of their artificial famine from 1932 to 1933 commemorated.
This resolution of Parliament follows previous commemorative resolutions from other international organisations such as UNESCO and OSCE. Our resolution on the commemoration of the victims of the Holodomor in Ukraine was adopted at the 34th session of the UNESCO general conference, which was supported by Ireland among others.
At the Madrid OSCE ministerial meeting in November 2007, 30 countries associated themselves with Ukraine's statement commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor.
European integration must continue to be based on a readiness to come to terms with the 20th century's tragic history. This present European Parliament resolution makes an important call on countries originating from thegenocide, a mass murder that was committed without weapons. Stalin's regime ripped out many pages from the annals of European history and your duty is therefore to open archives in the former Soviet Union and to replace those missing pages. The memory of the victims is sacred and therefore you must act!'
I feel enormously moved that my name, together with the names of my colleagues in the PPE-DE Group and the names of colleagues from other political groups, is to be found at the head of a resolution through which we confirm that European integration is based on a readiness to come to terms with the tragic history of the 20th century.

patients were seriously harmed by the daVinci surgical robot. One such lawsuit was filed by the family of a 24-year-old woman, alleging the woman died two weeks after a hysterectomy involving the robot. According to the lawsuit, the patient developed burns on an artery and on her intestines. The lawsuit blames lack of surgeon training in the use of the robot and a design flaw in the robot that allows an electrical current to jump to healthy tissue.
In a different lawsuit, the family of a 42-year-old man alleged a doctor was not properly trained in using the robot, causing his patient's death.

After the Senate adopted its amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 8200 and sent the bill back to the House, the floor managers in both Houses met and agreed upon a compromise bill. The bill was adopted by the House on September 28, 1978, as an amendment in the nature of a substitute to the Senate amendment to the House bill H.R. 8200. The floor managers also agreed on a joint explanatory statement, which each published in the Congressional Record immediately following the actual floor debates on the compromise bill. This joint explanatory statement of the managers explains the compromises that were reached and the interpretations of the new language. It also resolves some of the differences between the House and Senate Judiciary Committee Reports.A young researcher whose opinions on Syria were cited by both Senator McCain and Secretary of State John Kerry in congressional testimony last week has been fired from the Institute for the Study of War for allegedly faking her academic credentials.
The institute issued a statement on its website concerning the researcher, Elizabeth O'Bagy:
The Institute for the Study of War has learned and confirmed that, contrary to her representations, Ms. Elizabeth O'Bagy does not in fact have a Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University. ISW has accordingly terminated Ms. O'Bagy's employment, effective immediately.

search for their daughter.
Landing in a totally unfamiliar country, with no knowledge of the customs or language, and receiving scant help from the local authorities, Jo and Tom are forced to turn detective, following in their daughter's footsteps, tracing the people she mentioned in her posts, interviewing her friends, colleagues and students. It's an unbearably difficult challenge and, as the days pass, the fear that Lori is lost for good grows ever larger.

Audie Palmer has spent a decade in prison for an armed robbery in which four people died, including two of the gang. Seven million dollars has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money'the Mindhunter', jeopardises the police inquiry by leaking details to the media and stirring up public anger. With no shortage of suspects and tempers beginning to fray, Joe discover links between these murders and a series of brutal attacks where his victims have been choked unconscious and had the letter 'A' carved into their foreheads. As the case becomes ever more complex, nothing is quite what it seems and soon Joe's fate, and that of those closest to him, become intertwined with a merciless, unpredictable killer . . .

Part of the reason Mrs Agintas wants to downsize, is because she wants to go on holiday, but ould need two seats on the plane.
She is mother to Gemma, 25, Lauren, 21, Thomas, 18, Sam, 13, Hannah, 12, and Zoe, nine.
Her husband and six children receive £17,000 a year in benefits.
Mrs Agintas first became pregnant aged 17 by her boyfriend of just a few months.
She said she was delighted by the pregnancy because she had always looked forward to being a mother, and at 6ft, she was 15st.
But it was then that she developed unhealthy cravings for junk food that saw her weight go up and down, throughout the next five pregnancies.

Air Force's lead grew to 4-0 before Furman tallied its first goal of the game with 5:15 remaining in the opening period, but the Falcons notched four more scores over the remainder of the quarter to push its advantage to 8-1.
In the second period, Air Force shut out Furman, while continuing to add to its lead. Two of the Falcons' second quarter goals came in the last minute of the period, as Air Force took a 12-1 cushion into the locker room.
The Falcons went on to lead 14-1 midway through the third period, before Furman's offense found a spark, tallying three goals in the final three minutes of the quarter. Air Force's final goal of the game came at the 9:50 mark in the fourth period, with ascore from Smith during a 30-stall warning, while the Paladins added two more goals to account for the final margin.
Furman had a 29-23 edge on ground balls for the game, and outshot the Falcons, 32-28 for the game, and 18-8 in the second half alone. The Paladins also won the battle at the face-off X, taking 14-of-24 draws. However, the Falcons recorded 12 saves, compared to just six for Furman, and held the Paladins to 2-of-5 on the EMO.
The Falcons return to action next week, Feb. 22-23, at the Frontier Airlines Face-Off Classic, hosted by Denver. Air Force will take on Canisius on Saturday, while facing Marist in Sunday's game.

of rayon or rayon-containing nonwoven webs or fabrics stabilized to maintain their integrity as a web.
Early examples were webs of all rayon staple length fibers or a blend of rayon and other staple length fibers, either air laid, wet laid or carded and bound together by saturating the web totally or intermittently with a bonding agent. The web was stabilized throughout its thickness and the bonding agent constituted an additive.
Another such stabilized web comprised a blend of staple length rayon fibers and thermoplastic staple length fibers. The thermoplastic fibers were uniformly distributed throughout the thickness of the web. The web was carded and heat embossed. While the embossing tended to stabilize the web, the thermoplastic penetrated throughout the web, rather than from the bottom surface of the webeasel and a canvas of their work and set up and shoot.
coventry is well known for having received some of the heaviest bombings during world war 2 at the hands of the Luftwaffe. the air raids began in June 1940 and continued almost relentlessly until august 1942, over 1500 coventry people during this time were reported killed. 80% of these 1500 were killed between the three big raids, the 14th of November 1940 and the 8th and 10th of April 1941. as i said in my first proposal i am a very proud coventrian and i believe we are only as strong as our history. coventry has faced incredible challenges through these bombings and a huge loss of life but those who stood at the end of it

in the lower court.
The bond in suit was issued September 8, 1930, and covered direct loss of money, not exceeding $20,000, sustained through any dishonest act of any of the employees of the bank, whether acting alone or in collusion with others, and discovered not later than a year after the cancellation or termination of the bond. By the bond, an employee was defined as an officer, clerk, or other person in the immediate employ of the insured at its office. The bond excluded losses resulting, directly or indirectly, from the act or acts of any director of the bank other than one employed as a salaried officer. The bond required the bank to notify the defendant within ten days after the discovery of a loss, to furnishproofs of loss within three months of the discovery, and to bring suit in not less than three months nor more than twelve months from the time the loss was discovered. Under a rider attached to the bond, the defendant assumed liability for losses sustained while a preceding bond, issued in 1920, was in effect, provided such losses were not discovered in time to permit suit under that bond.
The plaintiff's petition set up the bond; that J. P. Sloan was cashier of the bank while the bond was in force; that the bank sustained direct losses through the dishonest acts of Sloan, which losses exceeded in amount $20,000; that the defendant was duly notified of such losses, but refused to pay the same; and that the plaintiff was

of credit to Cawley; but alleged that it was customary for the bank to allow regular customers to overdraw their accounts, and to treat the checks deposited by them as cash items until covered; that this custom was followed with respect to the $7,361.65 overdraft of the oil company on October 20, 1931; that the bank, with knowledge, approved Sloan's acts in permitting this overdraft, by allowing further checks to be paid, and by accepting the oil company's notes after October 21, 1931. It alleged that the crediting of the worthless checks drawn on other banks by the oil company was according to the usual custom of the bank and was approved by it because, with knowledge that the checks had been dishonored, the bank, on and afterOctober 21, 1931, continued to accept from the oil company bad checks and to give credit therefor. The defendant denied any dishonesty on the part of Sloan in connection with any of these transactions, and alleged that the bank had failed to comply with the terms of the bond with respect to the giving of notice or the furnishing of proofs of loss.
In its reply the plaintiff denied all affirmative allegations of the answer inconsistent with the facts as stated in its petition, and alleged that it had complied with the provisions of the bond relative to notice and proofs of loss, but that, if it had failed in that regard, the defendant had waived such failure.
Upon the issues made by the pleadings, the case was tried to

resignation of Sloan, and stating that, in conferences held concerning such resignation, the board of directors had first learned that Sloan had so handled some of the bank's matters that there was a possibility of liability under the bond, and that steps had been taken for an audit. The defendant replied to this letter on March 7, 1932, to the effect that the matter was being referred to Mr. Laurenson, its adjuster in Chicago, and suggesting that further developments be taken up with him. Laurenson called at the bank and made some investigation. The plaintiff, who had taken over the affairs of the bank on May 24, 1932, sent proofs of loss to the defendant on June 3, 1932, by registered mail. The proofs were received on Juneof law that the provisions of the bond had not been complied with or that compliance had not been waived. True, the bank knew of the losses long prior to notifying the defendant, but the claim is that it did not know that the losses were within the coverage of the bond, because it was not then realized that they were due to Sloan's dishonesty. There is substantial evidence to support that claim. The bond required the bank to give notice only of losses which were covered by the bond. There was evidence which would justify the jury in concluding that notice was given and proofs of loss were made as soon as the directors were aware that the losses were due to Sloan's dishonesty.

basis for credit. The contention is that these exhibits would have evidenced an honest desire on the part of Sloan, in allowing the Owens' overdrafts, to protect the interests of the bank with respect to Owens' existing indebtedness and the security given therefor. So far as the liability ledger was concerned, it was admitted with another group of exhibits. Sloan, as defendant's witness, testified as to the financial statement which was furnished by Owens in 1928, showing a net worth of $100,000. He also testified that the bank held Owens' notes aggregating $6,000 in the spring of 1930 with a chattel mortgage as security. A chattel mortgage given by Owens in 1928 was in evidence. The only other notes and mortgages sought to be introduced were those executedafter the overdrafts had been allowed. The taking of security at that time had no bearing upon the motive of Sloan in allowing the overdrafts. Sloan's testimony as to Owens' indebtedness, his financial statement, and the security taken from him, was uncontradicted and served every purpose that the introduction of the instruments themselves would have served.
The next complaint is that the court erred in excluding the minutes of the meeting of the board of directors of December 7, 1931, at which meeting Sloan was re-elected cashier, and in excluding the testimony of the witness Klaus to the effect that security was taken from Cawley in November, 1931, to cover obligations of the oil company to the bank. It was claimed that this evidence would show ratification by the

the Muslims and he automatically ceased to be a member of the Islamic society in which he had been born and brought up. All contacts and relations between an apostate and his kinsmen became non-existence immediately. The walking over from the fold of Islam into that of another faith meant indeed the walking over from one world into another. The entire family of the apostate would turn its face against him. Now, neither bonds of kinship, marriage, brotherhood nor inheritance remained. A larger wave of apostasy would produce international repercussions and arouse at once the self-protective instincts of Islam and the Muslims. Intellectuals, religious leaders and preachers of the Islamic country where such a thing occurred would array themselves as a united whole against the calamity. They wouldprobe into its causes and draw pointed attention to the virtues and superior merits of Islam. A current of agony and disgust would run through the entire body of the Muslim society that was immediately concerned with it and shake it up at all levels. The elite as well as commoners would make it their own thought and concern. Such was the way in which incidents of apostasy would react upon the consciousness of Muslims although these were neither widespread nor of much consequence in life.
Now, however, the Islamic World has been confronted for some time with a threat of apostasy which casts its shadow from end to end. In its dimensions and vigour it has by far superseded all previous threats. No country is safe from its

Edo State government has ruled out subsidy for university education in the state. It said majority of its budget for education is channeled towards funding basic education.
Governor Godwin Obaseki who stated this while inaugurating the Governing Council of the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, said his administration would assist students to the extent it could.
Obaseki said that his vision is to return Edo to its glory days of being the bastion of education in the country.
He stated that he would deploy resources to fund basic education instead of subsidising university education.
He urged the new board to set up an investigation panel to review and understand what went wrong with the university.

by scientists, Kepler-1520b will cease to exist in about 40–400 million years. Calculations of mass loss rates show that the planet probably had a mass slightly smaller than Mercury in size when it first formed, since the calculations show that planets with masses larger than 7% the Earth's barely lose any mass over billion year time-scales.
This discovery helps shed light on how the Earth will interact with the Sun when it becomes a red giant, roughly 5–7 billion years from now.

The Ledra Palace Hotel is located in central Nicosia, Cyprus, and until 1974 was one of the largest and most glamorous hotels of the capital. The hotel was designed by the German Jewish architect Benjamin Günsberg and was built between 1947-1949 by Cyprus Hotels Limited at a cost of approx £240,000 Cyprus pounds on what was then called King Edward VII Street, since 1962 Markos Drakos Avenue. The hotel opened on 8 October 1949 in the presence of British Governor Sir Andrew Wright and Vice Mayor of Nicosia George Poulios. It originally had 94 bedrooms and 150 beds, officially rated as de luxe. All rooms had hot and cold water, central heating and a telephone.

NEW DELHI: Taking the suggestion of the Centre's special representative Dineshwar Sharma forward, over 4,500 cases against youths involved in stone pelting for the first time will be dropped in a bid to win hearts in the Kashmir Valley , officials said.
Sharma, who visited the Valley earlier this month, was flooded with requests from various individuals and groups for withdrawing cases against youths who were booked by the police for indulging in stone pelting.
Over 11,500 cases against stone pelters were registered from July last year when unrest broke out in Kashmir following the death of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani in an encounter, they said.
Out of these, over 4,500 cases were registered against youths who were found indulging in stone pelting for the firstsaid, adding talks are being held with power ministry for implementing this project.
The central government will also enhance the compensation to the policemen killed during encounters. At present, a local policeman gets Rs 40 lakh.
The decisions were considered to be part of discussions held by Sharma during his visit to the Valley for talking with all stakeholders.
All these issues were discussed in detail recently at the core group on Kashmir, chaired by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and attended by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, the officials said.
The state government is expected to take the initiatives according to the suggestions of the central government.
Top officials of the ministries of home and defence, chiefs of intelligence agencies, besides Sharma also attended the meeting.

A variety of pelvic floor disorders such as urinary control disorders, fecal control disorders, interstitial cystitis, sexual dysfunction and pelvic pain are influenced by the sacral nerves. In particular, the organs involved in various bodily functions receive much of their control via the second, third, and fourth sacral nerves, commonly referred to as S2, S3, and S4, respectively. The sacrum, in general, is a large, triangular bone situated at the lower part of the vertebral column, and at the upper and back part of the pelvic cavity. The spinal canal runs throughout the sacrum. The sacral nerves pass through the sacrum via the anterior and posterior sacral foramina. These organs are also innervated via other nerves, such as the pudendal nerve.

In Venezuela, Divisions over Chvez Extend from Parliament to the Dinner Table
Article excerpt
Mourning Hugo Chvez supporters lined streets outside the military
academy for a fourth straight day today, but few were grieving just
a few miles away.
In the leafy, upscale Altamira neighborhood, residents shopped,
sipped coffee at sidewalk cafes, and strolled in city parks.
If you want to talk to a Chvista, you wont find one here, says
Carlos Leon, a businessman. Interim President Nicolas Maduro, who
was sworn in last night, is not my president.
Meanwhile, miles to the west, the red wave of supporters, a
constant since Chvez died Tuesday, again waited in line for hours to
bid farewell to their beloved leader. Chants spontaneously erupted:
I am Chvez! and the fight continues!

between the two scenes underscores an
important, if perhaps obvious, fact: Chvez left behind a deeply
divided country. His socialist policies earned supporters and
enemies. He both raised people out of poverty and chased
Venezuelans into self-imposed exile. In his 14 years in power, he
proved to be both divisive and wildly popular repeatedly winning
elections by wide margins.
The polarization in Venezuela was there before, but it only got
worse under Chvez, says Carlos Romero, a political analyst at
Central University of Venezuela in Caracas. Instead of striving for
a consensus, he reinforced a rigid political alignment.
Politically, Chvez's United Socialist Party of Venezuela appears
to still have the advantage. Maduro, a former bus driver who rose
through politics to become Chvezs handpicked successor, had a 46.4
to 34.3 advantage over rival Henrique Capriles in a February survey
by Caracas-based pollster Datanalisis.

October 6, 2012
WELLSVILLE After holding officers at bay and allegedly firing shots in their direction Thursday morning, a Commerce Street man was taken into custody with no injuries to anyone involved.
Joel Possage, 34, 1712 Commerce Street, was charged by village police with felonious assault after the standoff which began just before 7 a.m. when officers were called by a neighbor.
According to reports in county Municipal Court Friday, a woman who lives nearby called police after reportedly learning Possage intended to kill his wife and himself, telling officers one shot had already been fired, and she feared someone might be dead inside.

around the base in a few minutes the guards will change shifts and she'll make her move. She pressed her ear to the door and heard booted
footsteps march past her. She opened the door and grabbed the guard pulling him inside, she snapped his neck and left him. She snuck up on and eliminated the other guards making a path for the camera room. As she had expected the current guard and the one
sent to relieve him were chatting as they usally did their back to the monitors. She charged in and released a Kikoken, the energy blast fried the guards flinging their singed bodies against the wall. With them taken care off she was ready to make her escape.
In the tech lab she commenedered a few gadgetsand planted a bomb on the dimesional device. She set the timer for 5 minutes and took her real goal Bison's indoctrination machine to the hanger. The bomb exploded sending the fortress into a panic giving her

opportunity to
withdraw consent at the officer's reading of the
Informing the Accused form to him. Based on the officer's
testimony as corroborated by the recording of the
officer's interaction with Brar, the circuit court's
finding that Brar consented was not clearly erroneous.
¶35
Having concluded that Brar consented, we must determine
whether his consent was voluntary. We conclude that Brar
voluntarily, albeit impliedly, consented when he chose to
drive on Wisconsin roads. And, his subsequent statement to
the officer, re-affirming his previously-given consent was
likewise voluntary. Brar does not argue otherwise; in
essence, he contends that the voluntariness of his consent
dissipated sometime after he had already consented.
¶36
After consenting to the blood draw, Brar asked the officer if
he needed to obtain a warrant to draw his blood. The officer
shook his head no in response. However, the officer's
response did not vitiate theofficer accurately responded to
Brar's question and had no obligation to supply Brar with
further information.
¶38
However, even if the officer's response to Brar's
questions were unclear, it was insufficient to vitiate
Brar's previously-given and subsequently re-affirmed
voluntary consent. The voluntariness of consent is examined
under the totality of the circumstances. And, the context in
which Brar asked whether the officer needed a warrant
suggests that Brar voluntarily consented despite the arguably
unclear nature of the officer's response. Brar's
question about a warrant was not an isolated question; Brar
asked the officer numerous questions throughout the
encounter, many of which pertained to aspects of the
Informing the Accused form. He also repeatedly lamented his
guilt. In the context of his interaction with the officer,
Brar's one question about the necessity of a warrant was
insufficient to render his consent involuntary.
¶39
Moreover, Brar was informed of his

She had been placed on administrative leave in January 2012 as the state investigated allegations against her. Sources told the Star-Advertiser at the time that Smith was investigated for allegedly directing a teacher to file a per diem reimbursement claim for training that did not occur.
Seitz said Smith explained to the judge that she had made efforts to get compensation for some of her teachers who were doing extra work but couldn't get paid for it.
The payments amounted to $200 for each of nine staff members.
Smith's employment with the Department of Education ended in September 2012. She had worked for the DOE since 1971.

Despite the continuous increase in the prevalence of asthma in many developing countries, there have been major advances in understanding and managing this disease. The remarkable role of inflammation in asthma is well known. Current asthma guidelines recommend the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and immunotherapy for long-term management of asthma. The management of asthma in children is a challenge because of their inability to express warning signs and seek medical attention in a timely manner. Unlike adults, asthmatic children must rely on their parents or caregivers for the administration of asthma medications. The inability to carry and self-administer asthma drugs may increase the risk of non-compliance. Glucocorticosteroids, the most important drugs for patients

The prehistory of King/Drew goes back to the black hospital movement so well-documented by Vanessa Gamble but starts in earnest after WWII. In 1947 black physicians tried to create a nonprofit, nonsectarian interracial hospital in the area; there were many efforts in the 1950s to start one, with the support of such celebrities as Joe Louis; but nobody could raise the funds. A proposal in 1963 was denied on the grounds that L.A. had enough hospitals. Many physicians in times of segregation saw black hospitals as their best hopes.

Reference Patent Document 2 describes an airbag apparatus that, in order to equalize contact friction generated between the airbag and the interior members when the airbag deploys, provides a structure in which a folded up airbag is installed within an airbag module located in the vehicle's instrument panel. One end of an intervenient fabric part is fixedly attached at the securing part of the airbag to the airbag module, and the other end is free and non-fixed. This structure accomplishes a smooth airbag deploymentaction under a constant friction at the time when the airbag door is forced open by the deploying airbag even though friction is generated by contacting the airbag with the vehicle door or windshield, since the intervenient fabric part is put there between. In this apparatus, the fixed end of the intervenient fabric part is secured in the proximity of the hinge on the airbag door.
Reference Patent Document 3 describes an airbag apparatus that uses an improved method of altering the initial deployment direction of an airbag with the purpose of reducing the pressure applied by the deploying airbag to the passenger in the vehicle. To do this, the airbag apparatus has a structure comprising an airbag, a first frictional member, and a second frictional member. This structure

Two factors have transformed the positive economy of agriculture into a negative economy for peasants - the rising costs of production and the falling prices of farm commodities. Both these factors are rooted in the policies of trade liberalization and corporate globalisation.
In 1998, the World Bank's structural adjustment policies forced India to open up its seed sector to global corporations like Cargill, Monsanto, and Syngenta. The global corporations changed the input economy overnight. Farm saved seeds were replaced by corporate seeds which needed fertilizers and pesticides and could not be saved.
As seed saving is prevented by patents as well as by the engineering of seeds with non-renewable traits, seed has to be bought for every planting season by poor peasants. A free resource available on farms became acommodity which farmers were forced to buy every year. This increases poverty and leads to indebtedness.
As debts increase and become unpayable, farmers are compelled to sell kidneys or even commit suicide. More than 25,000 peasants in India have taken their lives since 1997 when the practice of seed saving was transformed under globalisation pressures and multinational seed corporations started to take control of the seed supply.
The District of Warangal in Andhra Pradesh used to grow diverse legumes, millets, and oilseeds. Seed monopolies created crop monocultures of cotton, leading to disappearance of millions of products of nature's evolution and farmer's breeding.

a flattened photoresist surface. Then, a thin film of a material such as silicon oxides having a resistance against the oxygen plasma is uniformly applied over the flat surface of the first photoresist, and a second photoresist is then evenly formed over the flat surface of the plasma-resistant film. The pattern light exposure and the developing of the second photoresist film are conducted to form the desired pattern thereof with an excellent dimensional accuracy because the surface of the second photoresist film is uniform, and then the etching of the plasma-resistant film is carried out in a certain direction, for example, perpendicular to the flat surface plane of the second photoresist, using the patterned second photoresist as the mask. Next, the first photoresist film is etched in thepredetermined direction perpendicular to the flat surface plane of the plasma-resistant film, in the oxygen plasma ashing process using the plasma-resistant film as the mask to form a pattern having a high dimensional accuracy. Further, the etching of the aluminum film laid over the semiconductor plate is performed in the oxygen plasma ashing process using the patterned first photoresist film as the mask with an accurate etched pattern on the uneven semiconductor base plate in the same manner as above.
However, in the aforementioned etching processes using the oxygen plasma, the etched aluminum of the aluminum film is sputtered and attaches to the side walls of the patterned plasma-resistant film, the etched first photoresist and the etched aluminum film during the plasma ashing process.

process of an aluminum film 13 applied over an oxide film 12 of a semiconductor base plate 11 using a patterned photoresist 14 laid on the aluminum film 13. In this embodiment, during the reactive ion etching process, a charged particle 16 perpendicularly impacts on the aluminum film 13 to sputter the aluminum film 13, and an etched aluminum spatter 17 attaches to the side walls of the photoresist 14 or the patterned aluminum layer 13a to form aluminum film walls 15 thereon, as shown in FIG. 2a. The aluminum film walls 15 can prevents the attacks of the charged particles and thus plays an important roll to form a precise and fine pattern. However, after the aluminum pattern forming by etching using the photoresist as the maskis finished, the photoresist 14 can be removed by the dry plasma ashing process, but the aluminum film walls 15 cannot be removed, as shown in FIG. 2b.
Such film walls of a material to be etched may be formed regardless of the kind of the material during the dry plasma ashing process. For instance, when a polycrystalline silicon is etched, silicon film walls are formed in the same manner as the aluminum film walls when the aluminum material is etched, as described above. Usually, the aluminum film walls can be removed in the wet chemical etching treatment, for example, using an etching solution including a hydrofluoric acid, but, at the same time, the aluminum pattern and the insulating material of silicon oxide film below the aluminum pattern can

so amazing: Wondering what October is going to look like in the Year of the Home Run? This recent series between baseball's two most powerful lineups gave us a glimpse of a potential playoff matchup and just how bonkers things could get when every player in each lineup is a threat to leave the yard.
According to Elias research, the three-game series was the sixth in MLB history in which at least 20 home runs were hit. There were also a combined 57 runs and 80 hits in the series, the most by any two teams in a three-game series this season.
The 'special shout-out to the Baltimore Orioles' pitching for very different reasons' division

idea. He pushed the same mentality on his pet screenwriter, Charles Griffith, sometimes calling him in the evening, outlining a script idea and asking to get a first draft script by morning, and getting it! His quickest production was a whole 2 days, 2 days! This kept costs down, keep things creatively exciting and kept him learning and making new things. The important thing is that he didn't release films he thought were garbage, he just kept his production expectations low and scaled accordingly. This again is where I'll recommend Game Jams as the ultimate boot camp in learning how to do this. There's nothing as exhilirating and satisfying as conceiving and finishing a game in 48 hours. In order to successfully pull it off though you needbiggest reasons Corman was able to film movies in sometimes as short as two days was good pre-production combined with reusing sets and props. This works especially well when working within a subgenre such as when he did multiple Edgar Allen Poe films. There was even one of his films where he realized he had a spare day or two before one of his Poe sets was going to be dismantled and had a script written that night to take advantage of that small window to produce one more film. Games are designed in a way that reusing assets should be even easier than in films as they are often based around lots of components and the rules for how those components interact.

was opening up, in the outer world I was glimpsing the truths of the Tarot, the I Ching, the Kaballah, sacred geometry, and magic squares. Such materials convinced me that there was a sacred and secret knowledge, everywhere the same and everywhere concealed. Fragments of this unknown teaching could be seen through the veil of ancient dogmas, under the seal of all religions, in the ruins of ancient temples; disguised in myths, legends, and allegories as a simple collection of stories unintelligible as mysteries unless one knew the key. The key was the science of vibration locked up in a trinity of words, letters, and numbers as absolute, as infinite, and as profound as the Logos.
The results of my seeking led me to a crisis at which pointto check out in the Cultural District throughout the year including those by the Pittsburgh Opera!

The removal of the regime of Saddam Hussein and the reconstruction of the Iraqi state were critical components of US foreign policy towards the Middle East in the aftermath of 9/11. It was hoped that Iraq, free from the oppression of Saddam's tyranny, would be transformed into a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. Iraq has indeed been transformed, but into a zone of instability. With Saddam's regime no more, Iraq has turned into a morass of competing ethno-sectarian political and social forces, in stark contrast to the views expressed by Western and Middle Eastern commentators alike before the US-led invasion, who commonly believed in the strength of Iraqi nationalism. Why did this fragmentation occur? Have Sunni-Shii tensions always been present? Are the Kurds seeking secession, or

Francesca and Polo having descried him, Polo thought to escape suddenly
through an opening in the wall, by means of which there was a descent
into another room; and therefore, thinking to conceal his fault either
wholly or in part, he threw himself into the opening, telling the lady
to go and open the door. But his hope did not turn out as he expected;
for the hem of a mantle which he had on caught upon a nail, and the
lady opening the door meantime, in the belief that all would be well by
reason of Polo's not being there, Gianciotto caught sight of Polo as
he was detained by the hem of the mantle, and straightway ran with his
dagger in his hand to kill him; whereupondenti a l'altro pose

Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is located along the border of California and Nevada. It is admired for its clarity, great depth and beautiful alpine surroundings. About two-thirds of the basin is in California while the other third is in Nevada. The lake was formed by geologic block faulting up to 3 million years ago. There are numerous sights to see from South Shore, around the west side of the lake up to Tahoe City and Incline Village then back south around the east shore.

a company to operate a fishing boat for company clients. Disregarding defendant's protests, plaintiff took Sydney to Delaware, where, in July 1996, plaintiff and Porter were married. Later that month, plaintiff informed defendant that she and Sydney were going to stay in Delaware permanently. Defendant then filed an application by order to show cause seeking custody of Sydney. Plaintiff cross-moved for permission to relocate to Delaware. Although the order to show cause restrained plaintiff from permanently changing Sydney's residence from Erie County, plaintiff gave up her apartment in Lancaster and took up permanent residence with Sydney in Porter's mobile home in Ocean View, Delaware. She and Porter have contracted to buy a parcel of land on which to build a house and their mortgage application and house plansthe Buffalo area.
The families of both plaintiff and defendant reside in the Buffalo area. This proximity enabled plaintiff's mother to babysit for Sydney during the day until Sydney was 10 months old and, thereafter, defendant's mother provided similar care for Sydney until she was taken to Delaware.*971
Plaintiff is self-employed as an independent contractor under contract with a company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for whom she programs computers and does consultation work, earning approximately $56,000 a year. Because she works out of her house, plaintiff can work anywhere in the country. Defendant has worked for Citicorp in Buffalo for 15 years and is an assistant vice-president, earning approximately $40,000 a year. Porter earns approximately $55,000 a year operating the boat during the fishing season and maintaining it in the winter.

of the spiritual life is a continuous quest for the unity between ourselves and the world. This aim is pursued equally by religion, art, and science. The religious believer is dissatisfied with the world of mere appearance. He seeks in the revelations granted him by God, the solution to the world problems which his Self sets before him. The artist seeks to embody into his material the Ideas of his Self, in order to reconcile the spirit that lives in him with the outer world. He, too, feels dissatisfied with the world of mere appearance and seeks to build into it that something more which his Self, transcending mere appearance, contains.

killing that is being perpetrated ceaselessly and to apply pressure on the Syrian government to stop the deliberate and indiscriminate shelling against civilians.
The report considers the Russian regime, all Shiite militias, and ISIS as foreign parties that are effectively involved in the killings and holds all of these parties and the financiers and supports of the Syrian regime legally and judicially responsible.
Furthermore, the report calls on the Russian guarantor to stop the Syrian regime from dooming all de-escalation agreements, and start making progress in the detainees issue by revealing the fates of 76,000 forcibly-disappeared persons at the hands of the Syrian regime.

who learned how to be at the top of their games for long periods of time. Josh Harding leads in goals against. He was a back up to Nik Backstrom for five years. Tuukka Rask is in the top five. He learned playing behind Tim Thomas. Ben Bishop finally got his chance this year in Tampa after being in St. Louis and Ottawa. Cory Crawford was up and down in Chicago for four years and played a grand total of eight games before he got his chance. Ryan Miller played only 18 games in his first two years in Buffalo.
Eddie Lack is learning on the run. The team has shown they believe in his potential. He has started 14 in a row with no end in sight. Hehas had his ups and downs, yet seems unaffected. He bounced back from a disastrous third period against the New York Islanders to win in a shootout in Winnipeg. After giving up a bad game winning goal in Tampa he shutout the Predators in the next game. He let in two of the first three shots the Sabres fired his way then shut the door.
I like the way Lack plays. He is big and plays to his size. He is learning from one of the best goalie coaches in the league in Rollie Melanson. He is showing more control in his game. His positive attitude has been infectious on a team that has needed some rays of sunshine.

the van did not have either a towing apparatus or a place for a trailer hitch. These observations aroused Dixon's suspicions that something was amiss.
3
Dixon then approached James Linkous, requested his driver license, and asked him about their route. Linkous gave Dixon a South Carolina license and told him that he and Yates had hauled a pickup truck to California. Dixon became increasingly suspicious that Linkous and Yates could be concealing narcotics due to the discrepancies in their stories about their trip, their license registration in two different states, Yates' excessive nervousness, and the absence of a towing apparatus or trailer hitch on the van. At this point, approximately five minutes after Dixon had stopped the van, he radioed for assistance.
4
Dixon's suspicions increased as he continued to talkwith Linkous. When he asked Linkous if he had any weapons, Linkous answered that there were knives inside the van. Dixon asked Linkous to step out of the van and saw that there was a noticeable bulge inside his pants. Dixon asked Linkous whether he was concealing something in his pants, and Linkous made an off color remark suggesting that it was his penis. Later at the jail it was determined that the bulge was caused by a bag of marijuana, a drug pipe, and a small bag of methamphetamine which Linkous had concealed in his pants.

fans of that premise, I would recommend Mysterium, a cooperative game with two very distinct roles. The game takes place in a spooky house in 1920s Scotland. All but one of the players are mediums conducting a séance, trying to communicate with the ghost, the final player. The ghost will attempt to lead the mediums to a Clue-style set of conclusions: who was the killer, what was the weapon and where did it happen.
The real genius of the game is how the ghost communicates this information to the player. The game comes with a deck of cards that have evocative, impressionistic art on them. Each round, the ghost will draw a hand of cards, and distribute one to each of the other players to try lead them toinformation on the Web.

chartering of foreign vessels, and their failure to perform on the charter, American ships were found. Given the day-to-day fluctuations in the availability of shipping, this goes no way toward showing that American ships were idle when the MSTS request for proposals was circulated or when the charter was made.
67
Nor do the MSTS procedures by themselves give rise to any inference that available operating American vessels are left idle while foreign ships are employed. When hiring vessels in the ordinary course of business, the Government can do little more than make known to the shipping industry its needs and its willingness to pay the market price. Indeed, the Commander of MSTS held meetings with American shipowners, and exhorted them by telephone, in a further effort to elicit Americanare American-owned American flag ships. Appellant urges that such ships are idle and available while foreign ships transport American military cargo, and that the Government must override the shipowners' unwillingness to offer them on the market, and must requisition them so that American seamen may transport American cargo.
71
As we found in rejecting appellant's claim challenging the MSTS procedures for hiring vessels, he has made no factual showing that privately-owned American ships were idle when the Government hired foreign vessels. Yet the 1956 Act can be violated only when the Government uses foreign ships, thereby leaving American ships and the American seamen who would man them idle. In the absence of a showing of the availability of idle American operating vessels, the question of the Government's duty to requisition

In support of their motion for summary judgment, plaintiffs presented the affidavits of three experts. The first expert, Jack L. Noragon, has a Ph.D. in Political Science from Ohio State University. He is a Senior Research Consultant in Columbus, Ohio. Noragon is also an adjunct professor in the Department of History, Political Science, and Criminal Justice at Ohio Dominican College; he has held previous teaching assignments at other colleges and universities in Ohio. Noragon also served as a Senior Research Associate with the Ohio Legislative Service Commission and on the Ohio Secretary of State's Ad Hoc Committee on Election Reform.
9
In his affidavit, Noragon stated that Ohio Rev.Code § 3505.03 is one of various provisions in state law that haveand local level. Without a designation next to an Independent's name on the ballot, the voter has no clue as to what the candidate stands for. Thus, the state affords a crucial advantage to party candidates by allowing them to use a designation, while denying the Independent the crucial opportunity to communicate a designation of their candidacy.

Plaintiffs' second expert, Jack DeSario, was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1981-1988. He has a Ph.D. in Political Science from the State University of New York at Binghamton. DeSario has also served as an advisor on voting behavior to local and statewide election campaigns in Ohio.

Opening Day. Considering that he was able to make his Grapefruit League debut on March 1, and that Nathan's velocity has been encouraging this spring, he may not need long to take the closer's role back from Matt Capps. Even if he's not initially available to close on back-to-back days, Nathan could follow an arc similar to that of Billy Wagner with the Braves last season. Wagner returned from Tommy John surgery late in 2009 and was very effective as the ninth-inning option in Atlanta last season before opting to retire.
At this stage, you might as well be standing at a roulette wheel on the Las Vegas Strip, crossing your fingers that the ratios aren't bad and that you're able to secure cheap saves from one of theseoptions. Rodney is the early favorite to open the year as the Angels' closer, but that's not even a guarantee and there are plenty of interesting alternatives should Mike Scioscia find himself uncomfortable with Rodney's skill set. Don't be tempted by the 37-save season he had with the Tigers in 2009, Rodney's three-year averages are a much better reflection of the risk you're taking in owning him - 4.40 ERA, 1.516 WHIP - and the Angels proved for the last season and a half that they're not against using a left-hander in the ninth, so free-agent addition Scott Downs could overtake him before Opening Day.
In a perfect world, Billy Wagner would have pitched one more season for the Braves and given the organization another year to develop Kimbrel

to think of him as an upgrade to their ninth-inning situation.
Koji Uehara seemingly had a chance to become the Orioles' primary closer, but the addition of Gregg in January was an early reminder of Uehara's durability concerns and sure enough, he was shut down in early March with soreness in his pitching elbow that quickly resulted in a cortisone shot. Gregg can miss bats, but he also has issues locating his pitches and keeping the ball in the park. Because he's hittable and he gives out a decent number of free passes, Gregg is typically a liability in the WHIP department. The Orioles are the fourth team in as many seasons to make him a closer, but he's averaged 22 saves per year since 2008 despite concerns aboutKim Hanbin is a troublemaker.

The Lower Riviera Special Design District was created as part of the Demolition Review Ordinance Amendments in October 2004. City Staff and volunteers from the Bungalow Haven Neighborhood Association worked on creating draft guidelines which are intended to guide development within the Lower Riviera Special Design District in order to ensure its continuing compatibility to the proposed Bungalow Haven Historic District, which lies within its core.
The guidelines, once adopted, will serve to assist property owners, architects, contractors, and commissions and design review boards to design projects that will be appropriate, compatible, and beneficial to the Special Design District, and to assist the City in reviewing applications for new projects and alterations to structures within, and in close proximity to, the proposed Historicto certain real property at a time when plaintiff was in Stanford Hospital in San Francisco and was about to undergo a serious operation.

In support of the motion, plaintiff filed his affidavit showing that plaintiff and all witnesses to be called by him were residents of San Francisco and that he knew of no person residing outside of San Francisco who could give any relevant testimony at the trial.

were never disseminated. He thought that they had all been destroyed. My own research later determined that 2,500 postcards were delivered on 13 March 1944. The operation was cancelled on the order of the Director General of the PWE. One agent quoted a high British official as saying that he would rather lose the war to Germany than take part in such psychological warfare pornographic endeavors.
Sefton Delmer talked about this strange gentlemanly attitude:
The third pornographic leaflet we did was never distributed. Not that SOE objected to it. On the contrary they were lavish with praise. But an old army colonel had found it on the table of my secret printer whom he had visited with a view to acquiring some of our latest philatelic counterfeits. When he sawthis particular piece of pornography he was almost beside himself with indignant fury. I did not want to hurt the old man by challenging him to battle over an item of pornography to which in any case I attached no great importance. So I immediately withdrew it. But it was not really all that bad.
British researcher Dr. Rod Oakland discovered one of these postcards in a private collection and mentioned it in the spring 1993 journal of the Psywar Society, the Falling Leaf.
The card was depicted in a British TV documentary entitled Sex and the Swastika. In the documentary, PWE artist Marion Whitehorn stated that she was given a postcard by a Brigadier General at the PWE secret headquarters about 45 miles outside London and told, You Marion

one back after trading a pack of cigarettes for it. Other such items that insult Hitler are a pincushion where a woman would place excess pins in Hitlers butt, and a small statue that showed Hitlers face on a skunk.
Before we leave the area of Hitlers groin, we should point out that during WWII, British soldiers often sang a song entitled Hitler has only got one ball to the tune of the Colonel Bogey song from The Bridge on the River Kwai. It appears the song might have been a self-fulfilling prophecy. At the end of WWII, the Soviets autopsied Hitlers burnt body and claimed that they found just one testicle. Recently, more evidence has emerged that Adolf Hitler really did suffer from an undescended testicle. A Germanhistorian claims that in 1923, Hitler was examined by a prison doctor after his arrest following the failure of the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. Those medical records clearly show that Hitler had an undescended testicle on the right side, according to Professor Peter Fleischmann of Erlangen-Nuremberg University. The records were lost for decades before resurfacing in 2010, when they were confiscated by the Bavarian authorities. They were finally studied in depth in 2015.

December 1941 Front Illustrierte fur den Deutschen Soldaten
The issue of December 1941 depicts Hitler drinking and wearing a German helmet while dead bodies are on the ground all around him.
In the Beginning there was the Word
It is unfair to depict all these attacks on Hitler without showing the way that he was seen in Nazi propaganda for the German people. The postcard above is almost Biblical in nature and shows an early Hitler preaching to the faithful of the fledgling Nazi Party. The title of the portrait puts Hitler in the position of God since the Bible says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. With constant propaganda telling the German people thatDuff Cooper, Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden. The implication would seem to be that the British government had facilitated the rise of Adolf Hitler. At one time I thought that the Soviets produced this item since they were well known for using photomontages in leaflets and postcards, and at this time they were quietly trading with Hitler. I did originally say that perhaps the picture was doctored by British propagandists. The Hitler baby image was offered as a postcard in a German auction in November 2016 and sold for 26 Euros. It appears to be a civilian commercial product, but there is the rarest chance that it was a British propaganda postcard. The June, 2012, letter from a British woman below indicates that Baby Hitler was

actual envelope, he wrote on the same page that the card was mounted on, with the same red pencil, For Adults only. Although these pornographic leaflets are relatively unknown, OSS files state that 70,000 sets were made and sent to Northern Italy and France. I only mention the above envelope and leaflets because it is possible that the 10 pornographic postcards were made by the same organization. The 10 cards we depict have an interesting history. Toward the end of World War II, the present owners father, a displaced Serbian, took asylum at the Vatican Citys refugee facility. Incredibly, these postcards were displayed at that location. He obtained a set and after the war, he took the postcards with him to Argentina and then later brought them withto be used as postcards since the back has three lines for an address.
The Wrapper for what I believe is the Reproduction set
It seems to be designed for the American military souvenir trade
Because the wrapper is cut and torn it is possible that it originally said:
For American Soldiers in Rome
The postcards were re-issued in Naples in 1978 as Seven unwelcome postcards of the twin regime, by Colonnese. The twin regime could be the regimes of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, or could be near the end of the war where there was a regular government in the south of Italy and Mussolinis Fascist Italian Social Republic in the north.

Skull Scorpios, and his fortress the Skull Basher; but Kulta required one more piece.
To be sure, the Skull Basher was a mighty warrior, his closest ally and bodyguard, but Kulta was no fool. A combination of brains and brawn would be needed to win the day. He needed a lieutenant who could rely on cunning and surprise to outwit the Toa.
As his staff began to glow, Kulta smiled. He could sense a great intellect, athletic skill, and an unbreakable tie to this world. This spirit was clinging to its bones like a castaway clinging to a log. Just the sort of being worth reviving.
Drawing wide a circle in the ashy ground with his staff, Kulta began the dark incantation.
Mel kay tor nu sorga Makuta no mel kun.
Mel kaytor nu sorga Makuta no mel kun.
MEL KAY TOR NU SORGA MAKUTA NO MEL KUN!
The circle in the dirt began to glow green and the spirits of the dead swirled around him. Wailing such terrible things, dead Okotans reliving their final painful hours, cries that contained a lifetime of sorrow. Kulta ignored them and continued his chant.
The wind billowed and the ground shook until bones and armour slowly emerged from the grey soil. Kulta's voice began to grow hoarse, but he focused with all his might as the bones began to form a body: a figure with four arms.
Kulta stopped his chanting and the wind died down and the ground settled back to stillness. He surveyed the revenant as the creature stood completely still. Slowly, it began to

allies had arrived. The Skull Spider cackled and directed his body into the arena.
Use the mask... growled the darker voice again. The Skull Spider screamed in his mind, but the Skull Slicer suddenly felt the darker voice give him the strength to tear the creature off his face and put on the green Toa's golden mask. Energy surged through his body, and his mind was once again transported to the past.
It was the tournament of champions. One Okotan from each region was competing for the glory of their homeland. An Earth Okotan ran right for him, before being trapped in the arena's shifting pillars. Suddenly the Skull Slicer found two of his arms pinned by a Stone Okotan's weapons while Okotans of Fire and Ice charged towards him.Knocking the Ice Okotan aside, he grabbed the Fire Okotan with his two remaining arms and...
No, this isn't right... I only had two arms...
A swift punch from the Ice Okotan knocked off his mask and he was jolted back to reality. These weren't Okotans at all, they were the Toa. Before he could react or call out to them, the big Toa with a hammer hit the lever, the floor vanished beneath him, and he fell.
When the arena had been maintained, there was a pool of water at the bottom to catch any losing athletes, but that pool had long since dried up. The Skull Slicer fell through the darkness for some time before clattering to the ground, instantly shattering his leg bones. It was not long until

the rest of the arena collapsed on top of him, years of disrepair and neglect had taken their toll. He found himself covered in rubble, unable to move, and yet still alive.
He did not hunger, he did not breathe. He could not tell how long it had been since the Skull Grinder had resurrected him, but he did not recall having a meal. Perhaps he was unable to die. Perhaps he was condemned to this existence until the end of time. But what of his wife and daughter? What had become of them?
He thought back to his last memory, of Tellena's birthday. Why had he thought of that day when he had put the mask on? Had the mask been trying to show him something? It just endedwith his daughter opening the shoulder armour he had gotten her.
What ever happened to mister 'shoulder armour slows you down'?
The words echoed through his mind.
I've never worn shoulder armour, he realized. Then the rest of the memory poured into his mind.
It was that same day. For her birthday, Tellena had requested that they go watch the rookie league play at the arena, hoping that she might get to meet one of the coaches to improve her chances in the tryouts next year. It was as they were watching the game that the cataclysm struck. A huge shockwave of energy from the north swept through the city, knocking down trees and buildings and causing all sorts of environmental disasters. Rivers flooded, fires raged, and blizzards whipped across the land

recruits from the various regions. The Toa were instead accompanied by all six Protectors; Harvali, the spear-carrying archaeologist; Melea, the Stone Tribe woman whose family the Toa had previously aided; and the unlikely addition of four children with a vested interest in the captives. These were Bingzak, the Jungle child taken in by Nilkuu; Ako and Oda, Melea's nephews whose father was among the missing; and Narmoto's son Balta, who hoped to find his lost mother. The four youths had pleaded so earnestly to join the expedition that their elders had agreed, on condition of their promise of strict obedience. The party soon reached their destination, deep in the Region of Ice: a fearful ruin known as the Place of Shadow. Here, as Harvali informed the Toa, ancientOkotans had dared to tamper with combinations of multiple Elemental Powers and in so doing opened a rift to the Shadow Realm. That ancient portal had long ago closed, but not before bringing a plague of shadows to Okoto that had forever altered their way of life and led to the passing of the sacred code only broken since by Makuta. Where once Okotans had been as tall as the Toa themselves, those who had survived the plague had been reduced in stature, and ever afterwards their descendants had remained so. Many of the ancients who had perished by the disease had later been those reanimated by Makuta to serve his twisted ends. Unfortunately, upon entering the Place of Shadow the group found not only traces of the

passing of the captured Okotans, but were attacked by two foes the Toa had never expected to see again: one of the Skull Scorpios they had evicted from the Ancient City, and an elite Skull Warrior who had briefly claimed Kopaka's Golden Mask of Ice. The beasts struck quickly and retreated with their Skull Basher, leaving the heroes with little choice but to follow them. And so they made their way into the darkness, where they encountered three monstrous foes... Kopaka's shield shuddered as twin axe and sword blades slammed into it, testing even the powerful energy barrier. He had thought Skull Basher a hideous creature when they had first encountered the Skull Raider in the Ancient City, but the being now attacking him was even more horrifying.It had the Skull Basher's massive frame, Bull Skull Mask, and long horns, and wielded both of the warrior's axes; however, it had an additional set of arms that wielded blades like those of Skull Slicer. The remainder of the beast was a mixture of elements from Basher, Slicer, and the Skull Warriors, with green, orange, and blue bones and claws. Before the monster-whom Kopaka had unconsciously named Skull Crusher-could strike again, he was bulled aside by Onua, who swung his hammer at the towering enemy. However, that mighty weapon was blocked by the strength of all of Skull Crusher's arms, which even Onua could not overcome, and deflected. The weapon flew out of Onua's hands and hit the ground nearby, splitting back into Onua's Turbo Shovelers. Fortunately,

Onua was spared a similar fate when Skull Crusher roared in pain, having been struck from behind by Lewa's Battle Axes. A short distance away, the other three Toa were occupied with a similarly nightmarish figure resembling the Skull Grinder. However, this beast appeared to wear the Mask of Creation and have pieces of Ekimu's armor added to his own, with bony legs resembling those of the Skull Scorpios emerging from his back. In place of Kulta's Mask Stealer Staff he carried a monstrous double-bladed axe in his right hand, while the other hand held a weapon with an axe-blade on one end and a sword blade on the other. Ekimu had warned the Toa that such a being was what Skull Grinder might have become had hehiding place with the children, they faced off with the beast. Nilkuu fired his Sandstone Blaster again and again, though even his skill brought little harm to the foe; Skull Scorpios were well known as desert menaces who would pursue prey even through sandstorms. Fortunately he was far from alone, with Narmoto and Izotor pouring their firepower into the foe as well. The three were scattered as the Scorpio struck with its tail, and then quickly whirled and leaped upon Vizuna, who had been trying to get in closer for a point blank shot with his Flame Bow. His weapon was knocked from his hand and sent skidding across the stone floor, coming to a halt at the feet of Korgot. Fear for the Protector of Jungle and

Mask of Creation. However, the Toa and Protectors had no time to ponder these mysteries, for they had spotted their quarry. The two shadows had now become six, and had formed a ring around a trio of Okotans at the center of the chamber. Harvali, Balta, and Bingzak were standing back to back, with Harvali's gaze darting rapidly around to keep track of the shadows. Just when it seemed the shadows might take action, however, they were struck by blasts of Fire and Sand as Narmoto and Nilkuu charged in, astonishing their comrades with their ferocity. Driven back by the Elemental onslaught, each shadow retreated towards a different door, leaving only the curious seventh one unblocked. Then, as the heroes watched, the six other doorways opened, and eachastute and gave Vizuna a nudge that soon had him smiling as she was. The archaeologist finally managed to thank the Protector of Stone for his gallant action; her failure to thank Narmoto as well went unheeded. She then explained that Balta and Bingzak had stopped back with her to help her investigate the carvings in the chamber while Melea and her nephews went on ahead to search for the missing prisoners. They had taken the corridor marked by the statue of Heremus, a direct ancestor of Ekimu and Makuta's from whom Ekimu had inherited the Mask of Creation; this door, with it's anvil and hammer rune, signified the Element of Light. Harvali's trio had been examining the statue of Velika of Stone when the shadows had come

double-bladed weapon and throwing the Lava Surfboard through the Door of Fire onto the lava in preparation to ride it. Vizuna handed Lewa his Flame Bow, while Nilkuu passed Pohatu the Sandstone Blaster after he had mounted the Stormerangs to his feet to create the Jetarangs. Onua joined the Turbo Shovelers back into the Earthquake Hammer and then took the Star Drill, though he was surprised when Korgot removed her shoulder armor and added it to his own. Kivoda offered Gali his launcher, but the pair realized it was rather small for her use; Gali solved this by splitting her trident and attaching the Shark Fins to either side of Kivoda's weapon. The Power Harpoon was then fixed to her back, and Kivoda then attached his Turbines toAs before, the Protectors understood unconsciously what their comrade intended, and quickly moved to form a ring around the massive beast. Seeing them coming, the creature unleashed a wall of flames that Kivoda quickly extinguished, blasts of water that Narmoto vaporized, and boulders that Nilkuu shattered. Tentacles of Shadow lashed out at them as well, only to be shattered by blasts of Ice or entangled themselves by Vizuna's vines. Korgot then used her Earth power on the already unstable floor to trap the monster's feet. Now in position, the Protectors moved on to the next phase of their plan: unleashing pure Elemental fury against their adversary. From six different directions they struck, with streams of Fire, Ice, Jungle power, and Water flying through the air to converge on

Beheaded: The head of former footballer Joao Rodrigo Silva Santos, was found early this morning on his wife's doorstep
He had recently set up his own business selling health foods and dietary supplements.
Police said today that Mr Santos is believed to have been snatched from outside the shop he had opened in the Realengo district of Rio as he closed up at around 7.45pm on Monday.
Witnesses said they sawseveral men bundling him into his car, a Hyundai i30, and speeding off just before midnight, a spokesman said. He was reported missing by his wife at 9pm on Monday.
Mr Santos' brother-in-law, who didn't want to be named, told Brazil's Globo G1 website that the player's wife, Geisa Silva, 31, stayed up all night after her husband failed to arrive home.
He said: 'Every time a car passed by she would go to see.
'She was getting ready to go to work at around 5.30am when she heard a noise, opened the front door and saw his rucksack.
'When she opened it she discovered it contained his head.
'I did not want to look but the people who saw it said they had gouged out his eyes and cut off his tongue,'

mounted at the far end to a rigid structure and having a reflective member such as a concave mirror at the free end thereof. The end of optical fiber is disposed at the center of the sphere of which the mirror surface is a section. Light fed into the fiber is reflected from the mirror, received by the fiber and applied to a detector at. When acoustic waves are incident on the transducer they will cause vibration of the cantilevered beam due to inertial forces. The mirror attached to the beam also vibrates and amplitude modulates the light received by the mirror and returned to the fiber.
Our co-pending U.S. Ser. No. 13/935,955, whose contents are wholly incorporated herein by reference, discloses a fiber optic accelerometer comprising a cantileversection which moves upon vibration or acceleration of the accelerometer such that its position relative to a reflective target changes thereby reducing the instantaneous intensity of light reflected by the target into the second end of the optical fiber and measured by the photo detector. The reflective target is formed of an optical fiber stub having a first end proximate the free second end of the optical fiber and a second end remote therefrom.
In one embodiment, the first end of the optical fiber stub has a slanted surface formed at an angle to an optical axis of the optical fiber stub and the second end of the optical fiber stub is cut perpendicularly to the optical axis and is coated with a highly polished efficient light reflecting material.

the Hispanic population that may have in the past been hesitant in attending Dynamo games. The team has also revamped their coaching staff by getting rid of Dominic Kinnear, the coach they have had since the founding of the club in 2006, and replacing him with Owen Coyle. Coyle has coached multiple teams in the English Premier League, and coaching at such a high level has surrounded him with a buzz before he even partakes in a single training. Cox will have to capitalize on these earthshattering moves while also worrying about finding a channel to broadcast Houston Dynamo games.
Cox may be the right person at the just the right time. During her tenure with the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA, she was an important part of teamobtaining a jersey sponsorship. This made the team the first in the history of the WNBA to secure such sponsorship. If she can work some of that magic to secure a television home for the Dynamo, and one that actually brings revenue to the club, then her tenure will quickly be on the road to be labeled a success.
On the other side of the spectrum there lies the Houston Dash. The Dash also had an amazing off-season, but sadly due to the way the team has been marketed, the amount of people that have noticed has been quite small. While the Houston Dynamo have averaged home attendance of around 19,000 per game. The Houston Dash, in the same stadium and being run by the same owners, have averaged

it may be carried into the first 90 days of the next year. Personal and annual leave may be anticipated and taken before it is earned.
At the trial, plaintiff testified that she had accumulated slightly over five days of annual leave during 1985. Plaintiff is a member of the branch of the Jewish religion referred to as Orthodox Judaism. Orthodox Judaism is considered a bona fide religion in the United States. As part of the religious practices of Orthodox Judaism, an adherent is not permitted to work on certain holy days, nor on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. These holy days and the Sabbath begin at sunset of the day preceding the holy day or Sabbath, and end at sunset of the holy day or Sabbath. As part ofher adherence to Orthodox Judaism, plaintiff is required to refrain from work on 13 holy days during the year. These holy days do not occur on the same date each year, and, each year, a varying number of the days fall on Saturdays, Sundays, or other state holidays. For example, in 1985 five of plaintiff's religious holy days fell on weekends or state holidays. In 1986, seven of plaintiff's religious holy days will either fall on weekends or on state holidays. In 1987, however, one will fall on a weekend. During the entire time plaintiff has been employed by the defendant, she has been permitted to refrain from work on her religious holy days by taking leave with pay.
On February 7, 1984, plaintiff wrote a memorandum to Ted
