perfectly legal to certain ages and even easily attainable for those that are not of the allowed age. Cigarettes contradict the means of handling the war on drugs because they actually are the root cause of a far more significant amount of deaths than all other drugs, and yet, the perfect paradox is displayed by the government still allowing a taxed price that its citizens pay for ultimately in exchange for death. Then there is alcohol, which was once illegal, though the citizens continued to ignore the law as they sold and consumed alcohol regardless. Because crime had reached a noticeable high due to the prohibition, alcohol became legal under certain restrictions like age. With this example, the war on drugs could be perceived as hypocritical as theA Legacy for the Arts
The Sybil A. Pickett Fund perpetuates a mother's passion for the arts, theater and music.
Major milestones of Sybil Pickett's life centered around Lake Placid: she received her marriage proposal on a rock in the AuSable River, and she is buried with her husband, Winston Pickett, and parents, Muriel and Martin Alger, in the St. Agnes Catholic Cemetery.
Sybil was born on the 4th of July, so the Lake Placid fireworks had special meaning for her family, at least one of whom believed the spectacle was for mom's birthday. Having spent her entire summers and some winter vacations in Lake Placid from a very young age, she continued the tradition by bringing her own three children to Lake Placid every year.

Pauline Hanson has praised men and criticised feminists in a speech to near-empty senate on Thursday.
In the unusual five minute speech Senator Hanson said she wanted to 'pay homage to the majority of men in Australia'.
'Well done, men. You deserve to be honoured. I thank you. It is more often that we lift up women in this country. Men are widely regarded as toxic. That is wrong. The extreme majority of men are not toxic. They are good, they are caring,' Ms Hanson said.

She then went on to talk about Australia's bushfire crises and how most of the firefighters were male.
There are blazes still burning across New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria -in NSW more than 680 houses have been razed by bushfires.
'While the firefighters, who are mostly male, were battling the blazes we had feminists telling us that after they fight the fires, no doubt exhausted, covered in sweat, ash and soot, and with their skin singed from the heat, they go home and beat their partners,' she said.
'What an idiotic suggestion.'
Hanson was refferring to a since deleted tweet from journalist and Red Heart Campaign founder Sherele Moody, who said domestic violence surged after 'cataclysmic events'.
In the speech, Ms Hanson claimed she had had a 'gutful' of 'man-hating feminists'.
'I believe in what is fair and just and I am sick and tired of this constant criticism of men in Australia, especially if they're white'. 'Well, I'm not going to

priors and, therefore, vacate Love's sentence and remand with directions to hold a new
sentencing hearing. The judgment is otherwise affirmed.
BACKGROUND
A. Evidence of the Underlying Offense
On the evening of April 30, 2013, Love and his friends Reginald Malone and
Elnora Jamison, who had all known each other for many years, were hanging out at the
apartment complex where Love and Malone lived. Around dinner time, Jamison told
Malone they needed to get food for their children, who were at home at Jamison's
apartment in another nearby apartment complex. Neither Jamisonnor Malone had a car,
so Love agreed to drive them to a nearby pizza place. Malone rode in the front passenger
seat and Jamison rode in the back. When they got to the restaurant, Jamison went inside
to pick up the pizza, returned to the car, and Love drove them to Jamison's apartment.
Love pulled into the apartment complex and stopped in front of Jamison's first
floor apartment. Jamison got out of the car with the pizza and went into her apartment.
Corey Donald and two other men were sitting nearby, at the top of a staircase leading to
Donald's second-story apartment above Jamison's apartment. Donald testified that after
Jamison got out of Love's car, he heard someone from the car make disrespectful
statements to him and his companions.2

While he hasn't won the big one, he stays consistent, even though the Tigers made him expendable towards the end of his run in Detroit. Through it all, he is a proven winner.John Cena is the leader of the WWE roster,given the torch just four years into his run with the company. Cena is a 16-time world champion, tying Ric Flair for most all time. And, through multiple injuries and a seeming winding-down of his in-ring career, he is a proven winner.So far during his Astros run, Verlander has not lost in a Houston uniform. Cena, at one point, retained his WWE Championship for more than a year before relinquishing it due to injury.And, if you want to go personal, both are engaged to very beautiful women.While both Hinch and Heenan are known as managers by name, their leadership has ascended their charges to unprecedented levels.Hinch's ball club has been in contention since his arrival in 2015.

numerous controls, instruments and gauges used in the operation of two of Plant Yates' units. In April 1979, he was promoted to senior instrument technician. He remained at this position until August 1986, when he was discharged for insubordination.
While employed at Yates, Britt's schedule required that he work several weekends each month, as did every I & C technician. As a member of the U.S. Naval Reserves, he was required to drill with his *1171 reserve unit one weekend per month, and serve two weeks of annual duty per year. From 1977 until approximately January 1985, Plaintiff would swap shifts with a co-worker in order to be free on the weekends when he needed to drill with his reserve unit. Thus, the burden was on Britt to makethe arrangements for a swap, and to make sure that his shift was covered.
In February 1985, Britt saw a notice posted on a company bulletin board which indicated that reservists could fulfill their military obligations by swapping shifts, taking unpaid leave, or using paid vacation time. Based on this notice, Britt decided to use vacation days in order to fulfill his weekend military obligations, rather than arranging a swap every month. As a result, he shifted the burden of finding a replacement for himself back to the company. According to Plaintiff, Britt's immediate supervisor, Fred McCarley, was dissatisfied with Britt's decision to handle his military duty in this manner.
According to the Plaintiff, McCarley began to retaliate against him because of his decision to use paid vacation days in

take unpaid leave, but the employer has no obligation to arrange an employee's schedule around his or her military duty. Finally, Ms. Lane noted that Georgia Power voluntarily makes up the difference between a reservist's normal salary and his military pay for up to ten days per year, and that Britt had been receiving these adjustments.
While pursuing his claims of harrassment and discrimination through the Department of Labor, Plaintiff chose to simultaneously pursue them through Georgia Power's Employee Concerns Program. Under this program, an employee may *1172 bring any grievance gradually through successive levels of management at the company. Britt began complaining to his supervisor, Fred McCarley, about the conduct he perceived to be harrassment. Britt complained that he did receive the opportunity to work a sufficient numberof overtime hours, that he was not sent to enough on-the-job training school sessions, that he was given undesirable work assignments, and that Mr. McCarley should arrange Britt's schedule such that he could be free to drill with his reserve unit without having to take vacation. He also objected to his pay level. Britt was the only employee working under the immediate supervision of Fred McCarley to use this grievance program.
Apparently feeling that his complaints to McCarley went unaddressed, Britt approached the next level of plant management to complain about his schedule, training opportunities, and the employee contribution plan. In response to Britt's complaints, a meeting was held on May 12, 1986, including Britt, McCarley, foreman Ned Davis and Steve Lee, superintendent of engineering. According to Plaintiff, Lee

with the management at the plant.
Soon after the call from Hodges, Mr. Kee received a call from the company's Equal Employment Opportunity supervisor, Willie Hinton, who explained that he wanted to get together with Kee and talk about some complaints he had been receiving from Britt. Kee then told him that Mr. Hodges had just suggested a meeting, and put Hinton in touch with Hodges. A few minutes later, Hodges called Kee and told him that a meeting was scheduled for 2:00 o'clock in Atlanta with Hodges, Hinton, Kee, McCarley, Britt, George Miller, an EEO Coordinator for the company, and Bill Head, the general office supervisor of Power Generation. Hodges told Kee to have Britt attend.
Kee then told Mr. McCarley about the meeting and asked him to tellunexcused. Kee called Britt back into his office and told him that Britt worked for Kee and not for Hinton, that Britt's refusal to attend would be severe insubordination which would result in Britt's discharge. Britt then walked away again.
After this discussion, Kee called Hodges and told him that Britt was refusing to attend the meeting. Hodges told Kee to inform Britt one more time that he was being ordered to attend, and to explain the consequences if he did not attend. At that point, McCarley went out to Britt's work station, fully explained to Britt who would be there, that Britt's expenses would be paid for travel to Atlanta, and that Britt was required to attend. Britt again refused to go, saying that he was only interested

in talking to George Head, senior vice president for power generation, who was the person senior to Mr. Hodges.
The meeting in Atlanta was held as scheduled, and was attended by those individuals mentioned above, including Hinton and Miller of EEO. When Britt had not arrived by 3 P.M., Hodges decided to place him on administrative suspension for insubordination. Because Britt was scheduled to go on his annual two week military leave a few days later, it was decided to wait until he returned to decide what to do in terms of additional discipline. During the time that Britt was on military leave, Kee and Hodges decided between them to give him a one week unpaid suspension upon his return as punishment for his insubordination in refusing to attendthe meeting despite direct orders to do so.
The plant managers expected Britt to return from his military duty on Friday, August 8, 1986. Therefore, in accordance with Kee's instructions, McCarley began calling Britt's home in order to have him report to the plant on Monday, August 11. Unbeknown to the plant management, Britt had a weekend reserve drill at the end of his two week leave, so he was not home to receive McCarley's phone calls. However, Kee sent a registered letter to Britt requesting him to contact Kee immediately, which Britt apparently received on Wednesday, August 14.
On Thursday, August 15, Britt telephoned the plant and spoke with Kee. Kee told Britt that he needed to talk about his suspension and the events of the previous *1174 two

Four Corners aired its own investigation into the complementary medicine industry on Monday night, which found seven out of every 10 Australians take some form of vitamin or supplement. The TGA released a consultation paper on Tuesday seeking feedback into an industry review. Pharmacist Drew Wood was not aware of the FDA warning or TGA testing.

seemingly let out a massive sneeze spraying water everywhere as the small bird flies away
As temperatures were touching 40 degrees - Charlie, from Liverpool, decided to ditch the game drive and sit by a water hole, hoping to observe some wildlife.
What might look like a sneeze, however, was actually the giraffe's nervous reaction to a baboon who scared it by making a loud noise.
Giraffes are extremely vulnerable whilst drinking as they have to get down into a crouching position. This means getting up quick in the event of danger is not easy.
He said: 'There had been a few giraffes that turned up. When they left, a very cautious giraffe approached the waterhole and took an age to eventually bend down to drink.
'The steady stream of baboons that drankbeen doing triathlon and long distance running for years and at the suggestion of a friend decided to train for a bodybuilding show. I reasoned with myself that if I didn't like it I could walk away.

Youth Kadoko flees into hiding over LGBT Links
A one young man Fredrick Kadoko alias T.Max is reportedly in hiding for reasons yet to be revealed with insiders indicating that he was earlier arrested with a one Nakabele Tony over homosexuality earlier in march 2014.
Security sources indicate that Kadoko bolted from the country allegedly in 2014 after rumor started spreading that he had been caught pants down with popular football coach in Bwaise, engaging in same sexual orgies.
Sources from family and friends revealed to this paper that ever since Kadoko was nabbed by authorities in a rented house in Bwaise a Kampala Suburb, Then a singer in upcoming group called Zone 8 is apparently off the musical scene with reports that hethe Meade farm, which they purchased with the intention of developing as a residential lake community. Prior to purchasing their property, the Kubinskis initiated discussions about leasing a small tract of property from the Meades where they would process and sell the gravel removed in digging the lake on their own property.
Several meetings between the parties took place over approximately a year. At one meeting, the parties apparently reached a verbal agreement for the Kubinskis to remove material from their property, transport the material to the seven acre tract leased from the Meades, and process the material into gravel. It was also agreed at this meeting that the Meades would receive 50 cents for each ton of gravel processed and sold from the leasehold. Other terms of the

against the drafters, as the Kubinskis suggest. It appears from the record that both sides participated more or less equally in the final drafting of the written agreement.
The issue before us in this matter is the proper measure of damages for a lessee's breach of a covenant to return leased real property upon termination of the lease in the same condition as when the property was leased, absent fire, or normal wear and tear. In the matter sub judice, the Kubinskis do not dispute that the property was not returned in as good a condition as when it was originally leased, nor do they maintain that the condition of the property at the termination of the lease was the result of loss by fire or normal wear andThe use of alternators to convert rotary motion to electrical power is well known. In the automotive industry, alternators are driven by the rotary motion of the crankshaft of a diesel or gasoline engine. The electrical energy output increases as the rotary speed increases. Since the alternator is ordinarily wired in parallel with a battery, the battery provides a minimal power level for driving the starting motor and for powering other electrical accessories when the engine is off or at idle. As the vehicle is driven, engine speed is increased, and the alternator not only becomes the primary electrical power source but also recharges the battery. It is conventional then that during times when the engine is off or at low idle, the battery is sufficient to power

during the 1950s and 1960s, recent years have seen the incremental declassification of these reports and as the 50th anniversary of the accident approaches, a distillation and reanalysis of this information has been conducted. Results indicate that radioactivity from Windscale was first detected at Bergen and Sola in the south west of Norway and a little later at Vaernes, significant amounts of radioactivity being deposited at these locations during the second and third weeks of that month. Results relating to concentrations of activity in air and precipitation and fallout levels are presented for the relevant period and discussed in relation to fallout levels in Norway during the period 1957-1960.The 20-year-old mother who was beaten by cops at a New Jersey beach appeared on Good Morning America Wednesday morning to discuss the case, a day after the three officers involved in the incident where let off without criminal charges.

did she manage to place her hands and feet on the sides of the drain and stop her further descent. Had she not done so, she would have reached the end of the drainpipe to a section that was completely filled with water and drowned.
Fortunately, she stopped herself near another well leading up from the drainpipe and managed to climb to the top, only to find that she was too weak to push the well cover open above her. Luckily, a passing woman heard her cries for help and saw the well cover raise a bit as Maria tried to pry it open, and the woman ran to alert two security guards. They lifted the well cover and pulled Maria to safety.
Unbelievably, the police refused to investigate theincident and forced Maria to sign a statement saying that she had fallen down the well herself. She was only brought in to identify her attacker much, much later when he was finally apprehended under suspicion of 48 murders. Had the police done their job the first time, many lives might have been saved.

Once they reached a spot that was relatively secluded, Gary Ridgway attacked her and tried to strangle her to death from behind. Fighting him off by pushing him into a tree, she stunned him and ran to a nearby trailer for help. Her attacker immediately fled the scene.
Due to her lifestyle and a general fear of the police, Garde waited nearly two years after her attack before she contacted the authorities, and although her forthcoming would not lead directly to his capture, it did help law enforcement build a more solid case around the most prolific serial killer in the United States. Ridgway picked up and killed at least 15 more women in the same area alongthe Pacific Highway South where he attacked Garde, and her description of him at least gave them something to move on.
In 2001, Ridgway was finally apprehended and sentenced to life in prison. Rebecca Garde remains his only known surviving victim.

Eventually a special guardianship order was granted in favour of the grandmother and in relation to the younger child care and placement orders were made with the consequence that the children would be brought up separately.

Now that life has returned to normal, many golfers are experiencing these superb layouts for the first time. One other reason to go - Northern Ireland was also recognized by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators as the 'Established Golf Destination of The Year' for 2001.

TAAAC by the Numbers and Experiences: What Has Been Achieved?
=============================================================
As of 2017, TAAAC has involved six UofT faculties, one institute, several academic hospitals in the Toronto Academic Health Science Network, and the UofT libraries system, including the Gerstein Science Information Centre. TAAAC has also involved over 200 faculty and staff from UofT and 50 senior residents, fellows, or PhD candidates who have visited AAU to participate in learning and teaching in the various residency, fellowship, master's, and PhD programs in health sciences, engineering, and social sciences. On the AAU side, 222run without grant deadlines, there is a sustained process of acquisition of experience and familiarity between the universities. This provides the opportunity for innovation, creativity, patience, and flexibility. Through this process, mutually beneficial learning occurs as each university gains from the experience in different ways. AAU gains as excellent graduate programs are developed, while UofT gains experience from educational engagement with a low-income-country university while assisting in the development of its graduate programs. Both universities' faculty and students grow in cultural competency and skills, and both partners make research gains.
A third key element is that TAAAC neither is imposed by the government nor do the university faculties, departments, or hospitals involved enforce a corporate structure on the partnership. TAAAC is run and populated by educators, who believe that

to work the engine. I loaded up my family and headed for the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State. Everything was running fine until shortly after we passed through a tiny burg on the coast. Suddenly the heat gage started to rise. I pulled off the road in a wide space by a locked gate and shut down the engine. We were out in the middle of nowhere and there was no cell phone reception.
The kids quickly got restless so I decided to let them out for a bit, hoping that just sitting might help the van. The moment we got out, I could hear the crashing surf. I hadn't even realized we were still by the ocean. We walked down the gravel drive beyond the gate. Itrocks, with the exception of the Kalaloch Rocks cluster, which was probably still part of the cliff when the first people named the area. It was an open place that was safe to land their 60 foot long, wooden, ocean-going canoes. It's why the area earned the nickname 'Safe Harbor'. This area was also traditionally used by three different tribes but not owned by any one tribe so it was a free and open place to gather, kind of like a park, which it has become today.
In 1931, when the Highway 101 ribbon cutting took place at the Kalaloch mercantile, a paddle was given to a local chief and the name of this place was spelled Kalalock. I've seen many old photographs that have the name printed on

trunk and branches of the trees. There are also burls on some of the Sitka Spruce along the coast that you won't see farther inland.
The Kalaloch area is very narrow so hiking in the coastal rainforest is limited. There is a short nature trail but it doesn't have any signage. It is located across Highway 101 from the main campground and is less than a mile long. There is also a short trail at Beach 1 called the burl trail. This very short trail winds through the spruce forest in an area where the burls are very common.
Kalaloch's big red cedar grove is located about six miles north of the Lodge and Visitor Center. There is a quarter mile gravel road off of Highway 101 that ends ineffect that encourages would-be diners to drop the slug from their menu. Human hands are not good for the slugs either because our hands produce oils that could clog the pores of the slug's skin. Slugs breathe from their skin during normal respiration. When a slug is really working hard, a large opening in the side of its head, called a pneumostome, opens to increase the surface area for oxygen absorption.
The slime is marvelous stuff. It's as sticky as glue. If you get some on your hands or clothes, don't get it wet. That will only make it worse. Let it dry then treat it like rubber cement. For the slug, this slime is its life line. Not only does the slime allow the slug to travel across

Visitors to the Lodge are often frustrated by the pesky ants and want to know why the Lodge isn't doing anything about them. The staff is very polite to these disgruntled guests and does their best to remind them that Kalaloch is a natural place where humans are the guests and the ants are the local residents. Carpenter Ants play an important role in the ecology of the rainforest, helping to break down decomposing wood, process nutrients, and feed a host of other animals. The ants don't stay out in the open any longer than they have to.
There are occasional problems with hornets andis its mouth. When a sand dollar wants to eat, it uses its tube feet to pull itself upright with the bottom end buried in the sand and the mouth facing the waves. There are lines, easy to see on a dead sand dollar, where tube feet move the tiny plankton toward the mouth. The teeth of the sand dollar are often called 'peace doves' because of their shape. If you shake a whole dead sand dollar, you can hear them rattling inside.
### Not So Dead Crabs
The shells I spend most of my time collecting on the beach belong to the Dungeness Crab. When the shells pile up in large numbers, the inevitable question arises: why are all the crabs dead? Please let me relieve your mind on

## Chapter 6 - What about the Birds?
Kalaloch has a lot of interesting birds that pass through the area and a handful that stay here all year long. The most common residents include Steller's Jays, Robins, Northwest Crows, and Ravens. Smaller birds like Fox Sparrows and the newly renamed Pacific Wren dance through the shrubs. Invasive House Sparrows and Starlings are just as common here as elsewhere. But it's the harder to see species that have me pulling my binoculars out.
The Nuthatch and Brown Creeper love the scaly bark of the Sitka Spruce for the bugs that take shelter under the edges of the bark scales. There are a whole host of smaller birds from harder to find sparrow and wren species to a wideAugust and are gone for a few months. I'm guessing that they are headed for salmon runs in other places along the coast as the salmon that spawn in Kalaloch Creek don't show up until winter.
### The Hard Truth about Real Life - and Death
I sat watching a struggling bird on the beach one day when a visitor came up to me and asked if anyone was going to help it. I suppose that is a natural reaction. However, there was no sign that the bird had been injured by a human cause and the species was not endangered so there was no reason to interfere with the cycle of life. The visitor got very upset when I tried to explain this and said I was cruel and

Steller's Sea Lions. The large males are easier to tell apart as the California Sea Lion has a bulbous head. The Steller's Sea Lion is generally a lighter brown in color when dry but they are much harder to tell apart in the water.
One year we had several come up on the beach along the Kalaloch Strip. This was a pretty good indicator that something was wrong. Scientists from the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary came to have a closer look and determined that they were sick. I watched in horror as a visitor got too close to one and it suddenly sprang up and lunged for him. Fortunately, the animal was sick and not moving much. You never want to get too close to a sea lionmore common. I've watched parent river otters teach their pups how to dig Dungeness Crabs out of the sand and crack open their shells. They have really sharp teeth, not something you ever want to get too close to.
Sea otters spend most of their time out at Destruction Island where the big kelp forests are. They have an intimate relationship with the giant algae called kelp, which is capable of growing several feet a day. The biggest threat to the kelp is the sea urchin. This voracious echinoderm and cousin of the seastar can eat through the holdfast of the kelp and set it adrift on the waves. The holdfast isn't a root but an anchor. Without this connection to the substrate, the kelp is doomed.

well groomed coat prevents water from ever touching the sea otter's skin.
The sea otters at Destruction Island live in two distinct groups. The males live at one end of the island and the females live at the other. Females will seek out a male when ready to mate. Sea otters only have one baby at a time. The mother sea otter will stay off by herself until her pup is old enough to swim on its own. Baby sea otters are naturally buoyant and mom often leaves them floating at the surface while she hunts for food.
Just the fact that there are sea otters here at all is pretty amazing. Sea otters were hunted to extinction along the Washington coast a long time ago. The animals that liveice fields actively eroding the tops of the Olympic Mountains. Geologists estimate that the rate of erosion currently equals the rate of increase so the elevation of the mountains is relatively constant. That can change with variations in climate.
During the last glacial period, large glaciers extended down the Olympic Mountains through the large river drainages. The Hoh River, to the north, and the Queets River, to the south, both had extensive glaciers up until about ten thousand years ago. These mile thick sheets of ice chewed up the tops of the mountains and carried away an amazing amount of material.
Neither of these thick sheets of ice reached the Kalaloch area. Their snouts, the terminal end of the ice flows, were many miles away. Out of each snout rushed

defense, air force, and navy. The armed forces inventory includes equipment from the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the former Soviet Union. Equipment from the former Soviet Union is being progressively replaced by more modern American, French, and British equipment, a significant portion of which is built under license in Egypt. To bolster stability and moderation in the region, Egypt has provided military assistance and training to a number of African and Arab states. Egypt remains a strong military and strategic partner of the United States.
Economy
The Nile in Cairo.
With the installation of the 2004 Egyptian parliament, the Government of Egypt began a new reform movement, following a stalled economic reform program begun in 1991, but moribund since the mid-1990s. In the past year, the cabineteconomic team has simplified and reduced tariffs and taxes, improved the transparency of the national budget, revived stalled privatizations of public enterprises and implemented economic legislation designed to foster private sector-driven economic growth and improve Egypt's competitiveness. Despite these achievements, the economy is still hampered by government intervention, substantial subsidies for food, housing, and energy, and bloated public sector payrolls. Moreover, the public sector still controls most heavy industry.
In sectoral terms, agriculture is mainly in private hands, and has been largely deregulated, with the exception of cotton and sugar production. Construction, non-financial services, and domestic marketing are also largely private. The Egyptian economy, however, relies heavily on tourism, oil and gas exports, and Suez Canal revenues, much of which is controlled by the public sector and is also

Defendant then brought a motion to set aside the violation of probation and vacate the sentence imposed, which was granted by the trial court on August 28, 1978, and defendant was restored to his probation. On December 14, 1978, a second notice of probation violation was filed, alleging a failure to report since September 27, 1978. Defendant pled not guilty, but after a hearing held on April 30, 1979, defendant was found in violation of his probation.

Unlike the bonds Goldman bought, the debt securities being shopped by Haitong aren't registered with the international organizations that settle such transactions, meaning they cannot be traded electronically, a risk that investors said was keeping them from buying them.
Spokesmen at Venezuela's finance and information ministries as well as Haitong Securities didn't respond to calls seeking comment.
Reeling from nearly two decades of economic mismanagement, Venezuela has had to resort to unorthodox financing methods through small and often times little-known institutions as large international banks veer away from Mr. Maduro's government.
Governments in the developing world typically plug funding gaps by issuing bonds through Wall Street firms and European banks that distribute the debt to bond-fund managers globally.

Pathologist had urged investigators to revisit the case of the bizarre death at millionaire's mansion
The results of a second autopsy on Rebecca Zahau, who was found hanging naked from a balcony at her lover's mansion, have not convinced police to reopen the case.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said the autopsy provided no new information.
A pathologist hired by Ms Zahau's family told the Dr Phil show yesterday that he doubted she killed herself at her partner Jonah Shacknai's luxury home in San Diego.

the sheriff said guests on the two-part show altered, misrepresented and omitted facts.
The nude body of Rebecca Zahau, 32, was found in July at the mansion of her boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai, two days after his six-year-old son suffered a fatal fall under her care. Authorities ruled her death a suicide.
Sheriff Gore's statement called the show 'nothing more than sensationalism at its lowest point' which caused the family more suffering.
On the Dr Phil show, pathologist Dr Cyril Wecht, a private consultant in high-profile investigations ranging from the Kennedy assassination to the death of Anna Nicole Smith, challenged the verdict of the sheriff's department.
Tragic: Max Shacknai's death at his father's San Diego mansion last year was declared an accident but a new medical report has suggested foul play
Miss Zahau's sister,Mary Zahau-Loehner, told the TV audience she firmly believed her sibling was murdered.
A lawyer and a private detective for the family who also spoke on the program cited clues they said police failed to thoroughly examine after Miss Zahau's lifeless body was found dangling from a rope around her neck at the estate of Mr Shacknai, founder and CEO of the Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.
'Sensationalism': San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said police would not reopen the case into Rebecca Zahau's death
Miss Zahau's death on July 13 came two days after Mr Shacknai's six-year-old son, Max, took a fatal fall down a staircase at the same oceanside mansion near San Diego.
The boy, who was in Miss Zahau's care at the time, died six days later from his injuries. Police determined

the fall was an accident.
Homicide investigators themselves have said that the circumstances surrounding Miss Zahau's death were baffling, but in the end ruled out foul play.
They concluded that Miss Zahau, had committed suicide after learning in a late-night telephone call that Max, then still hospitalised, had taken a turn for the worse.
Seeking to allay public scepticism, police released an unusual video re-enactment of how investigators believe Miss Zahau had tied up her own wrists and ankles, hands bound behind her back, before slipping a noose around her neck and hurling herself off a second-story balcony.
Mr Shacknai, whose company makes the wrinkle-filler Restylane and the acne treatment Solodyn, asked the California attorney general's office in September to review the case, but that was denied. Mr Shacknai was never considereda suspect, police said.
Dr Wecht agreed with the official autopsy finding that the cause of Miss Zahau's death was asphyxiation by hanging, but said he strongly doubted she killed herself.
Second opinion: Dr Cyril Wecht made a nationally televised appearance today on the 'Dr. Phil' show to render his opinion about the bizarre death of Miss Zahau
Family: Max pictured with his aunt, Nina Romano - the twin sister of Mr Shacknai's ex-wife, Dina, who visited the mansion on the night of Miss Zahau's death
Conflicting reports: An eyewitness has told police he saw Max's mother, Dina, and not her twin sister, at the mansion that night

lean very strongly toward it being a homicide, something involving foul play. And I lean very strongly against it being a suicide,' he said.
Dr Wecht said he was particularly troubled by findings in both autopsies that Miss Zahau had suffered blows to the top of her head, indicated by four separate haemorrhages beneath the scalp.
He said such an injury pointed to the possibility that she was knocked unconscious with a blunt object and could explain why police said there was no sign of a struggle at the scene.
Dr Wecht said he was also puzzled as to why Miss Zahau's neck was not broken by the force of her fall from the balcony. He said the way in which Miss Zahau would have had to tie herself up wasair to ground touchdown HIMARS shot.
The Kilo battery Marines strapped the HIMARS down in the belly of an Air Force MC-130 on its way to Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah.
When the aircraft landed the Marines rolled the HIMARS out, fired a total of four shots at two targets and then returned to the aircraft and flew back to Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
The exercise showcased the Corps ability to rapidly move the HIMARS by air and destroy a target once landing. A tactic that could prove deadly in the expanse of the Pacific where Marines will be fighting as a distributed force across ships, island and barges.

Genuine federalism in the Russian health care system: changing roles of government.
The reforms that have affected the Russian health care system since the breakup of the Soviet Union, principally those in the general administration of the Russian Federation, have suffered from inconsistency and the absence of a strategy. The various reforms have caused a shift from a national health system characterized by highly centralized management and control, typical of the totalitarian uniform state, to a highly decentralized but fragmented multitude of state systems. Each of these systems is relatively centralized at the local level and run by local administrations with limited government infrastructure and experience. The role of government in the emerging system, and in particular the role of the federal government, remains ill defined. As a result,The steaks are in your favor in Vegas.

States from an order entered in the district court
on June 13, 2001, disqualifying the United States
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
from representing the United States in this criminal
prosecution for mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C.S 1341.
The order also directed the Attorney General forthwith to
appoint an attorney to represent the Government in the
case and required the special attorney to advise the court
by August 15, 2001, whether he or she intends to continue
this prosecution. The district court effectively has stayed
the June 13, 2001 order pending this appeal, and thus the
Attorney General has not made the appointment.
The background of this case is as follows. For some
years, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania has been investigating chop shops in the
Philadelphia area. A chop shop dismantles motorvehicle.
In November 2000, a grand jury subpoenaed Whittaker,
seeking samples of his handwriting and his fingerprints.
Subsequently, he retained Samuel Stretton, a Pennsylvania
attorney, to represent him. On November 30, 2000,
pursuant to a grand jury subpoena, Whittaker was
fingerprinted and photographed.
At the same time the investigation apparently was
culminating. On January 29, 2001, pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
SS 10606 and 10607, Reed signed a letter addressed to
approximately 300 people who owned cars that were
dismantled in the chop shops to advise them of the
progress of the investigation and to invite them to file victim
impact statements or to make inquiry with respect to the
case with certain specified Government personnel.
Reed prepared the letter, but he did not send it
personally. Rather, he provided a paralegal in his office with
a list of persons whose vehicles had been dismantled. This

Known processes of constructing printed circuit board layers include the use of photo-resist material and etching to produce traces and other features on layers which are then built up to produce a finished printed circuit board. During production of each layer it is known to use films of a diazo material with patterns formed on them to expose the photo-resist on printed circuit board layers. In that process, the film is placed on top of the surface to be patterned, and a light source is activated to transfer the pattern from the film to a photo-resist layer coated on the circuit board layer. After exposure, the photo-resist is developed and removed and the circuit board layer is metallized as desired.
That technique does, however, include problems. In particular, the

retained the law firm of Baxter & Hammond to act as legal counsel to the Committee. Attorney Robert Hammond advised and assisted the Committee in its investigation and helped draft the report of the Committee's findings, which was submitted to the full Board on January 8, 1982.
The Committee was also charged with investigating the allegations of a derivative action filed in 1981 by plaintiff Gaff, also in the Grand Traverse County Circuit Court. The actions by Dalrymple and Gaff were subsequently consolidated in July, 1983 by the Hon. William Brown. The Committee, again assisted by attorney Hammond, reported its findings and conclusions in a report supplementing the report previously filed with respect to the Dalrymple action.
Both actions were found to be without merit by the Special Litigation Committee,which recommended that the full Board take action to have the cases dismissed.
On September 1, 1983, J. Bruce Donaldson became a partner in the law firm of Dykema, Gossett, Spencer, Goodnow & Trigg. At all times after his entry into the firm, until the FDIC filed its Second Amended Complaint on February 11, 1985, he has continued to represent Dalrymple in the prosecution of the present action. In August, 1984, certain partners of Baxter & Hammond including Richard Baxter and Robert Hammond became partners of the firm of Dykema, Gossett. At no time has Dykema, Gossett represented either NBT or any of those directors seeking disqualification of J. Bruce Donaldson as counsel for Dalrymple in the present action.

sufficient to support the verdicts, and whether the trial court erred in allowing the State to amend the information on the morning of trial. We affirm.
The evidence showed that Litel attended the Indiana State Fair with Cynthia Vie and Lisa Walters on the evening of August 19, 1983. They left at about midnight in Vie's car. Vie drove, Walters rode in the passenger seat, and Litel sat in the back.
En route to his home, Litel directed Vie to take a short-cut up University Avenue. The street came to a dead end, and Vie stopped. Litel then reached around Vie and placed a straight-edged razor at her throat. He told Vie to drive to Ellenberger Park and ordered Walters to take off her pants. When Walters hesitated, he threatenedto kill Vie. Litel touched Vie's breasts and legs while she drove about at his direction. He told her to remove her pants. Finally, he directed her to park in the lot of a vacant service station.
Claiming that they needed to take off their shoes before they could comply with his orders, the girls shoved the front seat back and quickly ran from the car. They heard the screech of tires as they ran.
Vie's car was recovered that night. Relying on the girls' description, police apprehended Litel the next evening. They found Vie's keys and a straight-edged razor in his possession. Both Vie and Walters identified Litel from an array of photographs.

quarter. Olsen caught another long toss from Cutler for a 33-yard gain, setting up the Bears in the red zone. Chester Taylor capitalized on good protection from the offensive line, walking into the end zone for a Bears score.
SECOND QUARTER:
Olsen's excellent game continued with a 22-yard pass that set up the Bears in Seattle territory. Earl Bennett added another first down, which was followed by Cutler getting in on the fun, running in for a touchdown.
THIRD QUARTER:
The Bears extended the lead, as Cutler ran in for another touchdown. He had one rushing touchdown in the regular season; he has two in the postseason. Cutler brought the team to striking distance with a 15-yard throw to Knox, and then snuck it in for a nine-yard touchdown.
The Seahawks lost anotherplayer in a scary moment. Marcus Trufant was hit in the head by Olsen's knee, and had to be carted off on a backboard, making him the second Seahawks player to be seriously injured. The Bears' Chris Harris also left the game with a hip injury.
Seattle avoided the shut-out late in the third quarter. A 62-yard kickoff return from Leon Washington gave the Seahawks excellent field position, but Chicago's pressuring defense would not allow Seattle in the end zone. Seattle settled for a field goal.
FOURTH QUARTER:
The Seahawks cut the Bears lead to 18 early in the fourth quarter. In an odd play call, Matt Forte took the snap and threw a pass that picked off, giving Seattle good field position. Hasselbeck completed a series of passes to get

The deer that haunts my dreams
By Bill Howard | Dec 17, 2013
Photo by: FileBill Howard
I have seen signs of a huge deer each year for the last several years. He has haunted my dreams, occupied my mind, and teased my patience. Although I have stayed focused, he remains a ghost.Just like any deer that is not running around during the rut, he can be patterned. This one though, he has mostly been a mystery. That is until two years ago. I started keeping a hunting log and discovered a few key facts. He only makes himself seen once per year. Yes, year. Last year was the first time I was able to capture him on camera.Prior to the grainy infrared trail camera shot I had only seen hisCity of St. Louis. After Defendant waived arraignment, the case was transferred to Division 16, the criminal assignment division.
On April 22, 2003, the case was assigned to Division 12 for trial, with Judge Dennis Schaumann presiding. The trial court was informed that Defendant was serving a sentence in the federal penitentiary in Marion, Illinois. Judge Schaumann issued a capias warrant to serve as a detainer. The trial court set Defendant's bond at $10,000 and the case was returned to Division 16.
On May 3, 2004, while Defendant was still serving his federal sentence, Defendant's attorney requested that the capias warrant be cancelled and the Defendant be granted a recognizance bond. The State objected to Defendant's requests and the requests were denied.

other. The heaters 20 and 21 nip the old film 12 in the vicinity of the tail end thereof and the leading end of the new film 15, and heat them, thereby fusing and joining them at a joining point a, as shown in FIG. 2. With this operation, the old film 12 and the new film 15 are joined with each other. Numeral 12a denotes a residual flap of the old film 12 which is formed on the rear side of the joining point a.
However, when the old film 12 and the new film 15 are joined with each other in the conventional film joining apparatus, the controller starts the movement of the heaters 20 and 21 at the time when the tail end of the oldfilm 12 passes by the ultrasonic sensor 18.
Since the amount of the old film 12 taken out from the old roll 11 varies depending on the packing pattern in which packaging containers are stacked, it is difficult to position the tail end of the old film 12 between the heaters 20 and 21 for fusion. Accordingly, a residual flap 12a of the old film 12 is formed on the rear side of the joining point
As a result, when the new film 15 is taken out from the new roll 14 without removing the residual flap 12a, a machine in a succeeding stage will not operate properly. Therefore, an operation for stopping the machine and removing the residual flap 12a must be performed before the residual flap 12a enters

The River Knows
The first kiss occurred in a dimly lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings' grand house. Louisa never saw it coming....Of course, Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions.

forces.
The first LkPz-IX models, the Ausf A, were
delivered in 2291, initially to the Bavarian Army but with succeeding models to
other German State forces. The next year with the Reunification of Germany Panzergruppe Lehr was initially converted to Brigade and
then Divisional size and was fully equipped with LkPz-IX Ausf A. At the outbreak
of the War of German Reunification no fewer than two full divisions and some
minor units were equipped with these modern vehicles.
The Ausf A was notable for its step change in capability even
over the modernised LkPz-VIII Ausf
E. Powerful, low slung, stealthy, heavily armoured,
with advanced vectronics and modern weapons the new
AFV was a match for almost any other hovertank then
in service. Designed as a pure AFV killer it had a limited multi-role capability
when compared with its French equivalents however.The Ausf
A had a three man crew mounted in the hull of the vehicle, with the driver
stationed forward right in the hull and the gunner and commander to the rear
under the remote turret.
The weapon suite
included the newly developed 70mm MDC, two Luchs
anti-vehicle missile launchers with 10 reloads and a single hull mounted 5.5mm
machine gun. The Luchs had been battle proven in the
last years of the CAW and were well regarded tank killers. The MDC was a CAW
development originally designed for the up gunned Luki-VIII
Ausf E, this was a sound weapon with a rapid rate of
fire although it suffered in comparison with the modern French 65mm and some
commentators questioned its capability to penetrate the frontal armour coming
into service in other modern HTs. The vehicle also
mounted close in Anti-Personnel System

from a bank of 18 single shot grenade
launchers mounted in the turret.
The LkPz-IX also lacked a hard kill close protection system,
relying instead on its speed and impressive EW suite. The continuing problems
integrating the weapon systems had also not being completely surmounted,
resulting in a lack of accuracy at medium and long ranges for the MDC when
firing on automatic. This problem could be overcome by using the manual
controls for engagements with the MDC, although this would limit the rate of
fire somewhat. Many of these difficulties were attributed to the rapid
introduction into service of the LkPz-IX
The LkPz-IX AusfA
famously first saw action against the French during the War of German
Reunification where in spite of being outnumbered by LkPz-VIII
and other HT types it became the iconic image of German forces in the war.The LkPz-IX proved a match for the veteran French AC-8s and
could outmanoeuvre the underpowered AC-10s but met a more equal enemy in the
rare AC-12s it came across. The sheer
capability of the LkPz-IX came as a real shock to the
French who often mistook it for the LkPzJg-XII, which
often led to serious casualties. The Luki-9 firmly cemented its reputation as
one of the leading hovertanks around, earning
accelerated production and a number of export orders.
Already new
models were under development and would soon being to replace the Ausf As in the core, however the Ausf
A were soon in service in the colonies. Just under 30 AusfAs would see action on Aurore
in the hands of French and Tanstaaflian crews as well
as German technical advisors. Later 8 LkPzGr Division
would take its Ausf As to war

in the deletion of the hull mounted 5.5mm and the addition
of Azanian produced communications systems and the Sjambok close protection system. The Ngonyama
also boasts additional fuel tanks for extended range.
The Ngonyama has been heavily deployed in the northern Areas of
Operation in Angola and elsewhere as well as on Kimanjano
against the Kafers with elements of the 1st and 3rd
Mechanized Divisions.
The Ausf F is the latest generation of the Luki-9, integrating
the lessons of the wars with the French and the Kafers.
The design features further enhanced vectronics,
communications, additional armour and a new 2.5MW MHD engine. In addition the
weapon suite has been overhauled with the latest generation of 70mm MDC with
increased armour and shielding, as well as a dedicated hard kill close
protection system based on the GW-120 AGL. The Ausf F
retains thecoaxial 7.5mm and Luchs missiles but
removes the hull mounted 5.5mm and 30mm AP close in defence projectors.
The Ausf F formally moves to a two member crew arrangement,
although a jump seat is retained in the vehicle for transport of additional
personnel if required. This model also includes additional fuel tankage to enhance endurance. The Ausf
F is in service with a number of Terran based units
and at least two battalions operating in the French Arm including elements who
participated in the liberation of Dunkelheim. It is proving very popular and
believed to have closed the gap again on the AC-12bis.
The Luki-9 has proved a popular export vehicle
for Germany, especially to nations wishing to gain a highly capable modern AFV.
Flanders operates no fewer than three battalions of Ausf
As as part of its mechanised division.

the damage had already been done as aside from the disappointment of losing the game, Mourinho will now be without his summer signing for 10 days with United facing a busy schedule as they firstly face Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday night.
With Juan Mata and Anthony Martial left on the bench, it was a surprise decision from the Portuguese tactician to start both Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard.
It was an even riskier move to go with the former Borussia Dortmund man given that he had picked up a knock just a week or so earlier, and that gamble has now backfired as the injury has been made worse and the setback will undoubtedly be a disappointment to all concerned.Birthday:January 16th 2010Likes:sleepingand having a cuddleFavorite Toy:my fingerFavorite Food:bakers puppy foodBest Tricks:drop deadArrival Story:angel was lef wndering the streets at 4 weeks old as her old owner jaust chucked her out the car angle would of not survied a day but luckly someone rescued her.angle was given alot of veteriny terment and is now blind and can not walk she was given to a rescue center where i rescued herI've Been On Dogster Since:

and that expansion of retrotransposons is responsible for the large and complex nuclear genome of gymnosperms. In addition, multiple coniferous genera such as Picea very likely originated in North America and migrated into the Old World, further indicating that the center of diversity is not necessarily the place of origin. The Bering Land Bridge acted as an important pathway for dispersal of gymnosperms in the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, the genome sequences of conifers provide an unprecedented opportunity and an important platform for the evolutionary studies of gymnosperms, and will also shed new light on evolution of many important gene families and biological pathways in seed plants.The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed the annual defence spending bill for fiscal 2019, which among other things includes an amendment suspending delivery of arms to Turkey until the US Pentagon writes up and presents a special report on the US-Turkish relations. The bill also seeks better defence relationship with India and greater American commitment in the Indo-Pacific region in view of the challenge being posed by China.
The National defence Authorization Bill or NDAA-2019, was passed by the House of Representatives by 351-66 votes. It now needs to be passed by the Senate, before it can be sent to the White House for President Donald Trump to sign it into law.

District Court held the city council's decision to withhold a building permit violated his right to substantive due process and imposed personal liability on the individual council members. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed, holding:
As of June 26, 1984, Bateson had met all of the requirements necessary for the City to issue him a building permit. The City of Billings' regulations provide that once an applicant's building plans comply with the code and other applicable laws and the fees are paid, the building official must issue a building permit to the applicant. These regulations do not provide for review by the City Council before a building permit can issue. The City Council voted to withhold Bateson's building permit without providing Bateson with anyproject was Thorpe Road, which before reaching the project site proceeded through two narrow tunnels under railroad tracks constructed in the early 1900's.
Despite public opposition to the project, the Spokane City Council in 1992 enacted an ordinance rezoning Mission Springs' parcel and approving its plat and PUD designation for the project. The Council's actions were based in part on information from a 1991 traffic study on the effect of the project on Thorpe Road traffic. Mission Springs obtained grading and building permits for the project by early 1993.
Mission Springs failed to use the permits, however, and, despite extensions, allowed them to lapse. The City declared them abandoned for nonuse in May 1994.
Five months later, in October 1994, Mission Springs applied for a new grading permit, but not a

After outlining for the prosecutor the deficiencies in the case, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
RESULT | Dismissed
Repeat client whose domestic violence case was previously dismissed, hired Jennifer Horwitz a second time when his same girlfriend accused him of assault for a second time. After reviewing all of the evidence, it was clear that the client had locked his girlfriend out of the house because she was intoxicated and out of control and that no assault took place. Someone who saw the girlfriend walking around in their yard crying and intoxicated called the police. The girlfriend was angry about having been locked out and said the client assaulted her. After presenting all of the evidence to the prosecutor, the prosecutor agreed it could not prove an assault

In the study, parents of 29 children between the ages of
three and five years old filled out a survey about the kids'

the vegetable, or had never tried it.
Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts were among the vegetables
most children had not tried, and were selected as the ones used
to gauge children's preferences in the study.
The children were given either cauliflower or Brussels
sprouts once per day for seven days, and ate in a group of five

Byers has had something of a knack for landing himself in trouble in the press.
Before Labour won power there was one famous occasion, a seafood dinner, in which he briefed lobby hacks that Labour would break all links with the unions.
Byers was criticised over his handling of the Rover debacle
Earlier this month he told a lunch gathering of female political correspondents that the government had a timetable mapped out for a euro referendum.
When that news, inevitably, leaked, he was slapped down by Downing Street.
But the decision to quit brings an end to what has been a painful slide in his political fortunes - all in contrast to the speed with which he rose to Cabinet rank.
Early career
Mr Byers took a while to get a seat at Westminster, largelybecause he lacked trade union sponsorship which is something of a must in the north east of England, but once he was there it was, by the standards of British politics, a rapid rise.
In less than seven years he was in the cabinet, prompting some speculation that he was Blair's natural successor - along with Chancellor Gordon Brown, of course
The 'faceless' minister came under pressure to ditch the moustache
.
All of that was before the Rover debacle which left workers at Longbridge fearing for their jobs after BMW made its shock decision to sell the British car manufacturer.
The trade secretary was inevitably a focus for angry, betrayed workers and there was suspicion as to when Mr Byers actually knew of the decision.
Blair-Brown, Byers-Milburn

Sheppey. After meandering over Kent, she found herself over the army camp at Otterpool, close to Lympne, at about 9.15pm. She dropped four HE bombs: 8th Howitzer Brigade listed two killed and four injured and 5th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery, listed 13 killed and seven injured. L.14 continued towards Westenhanger Camp, releasing two more bombs but these landed on the racecourse before she reached the camp.
Having realised he was near the south coast, Böcker turned north, dropping seven incendiary bombs at Frant at 10.30pm, without damage. Ten minutes later, over Tunbridge Wells, Böcker released three HE bombs, smashing a number of windows. L.14 approached East Croydon and at 11.20pm commenced dropping 17 HE bombs between Edridge Road and Howard Road. They killed three brothers in Beech House Road,three died in Oval Road, and three in Stretton Road. Fifteen others were injured.
L.14 almost collided with L.13 between Bromley and Bickley at about 11.30pm before crossing the Thames between Erith and Purfleet where she was engaged by anti-aircraft fire. Other guns also fired parting shots before she finally went out to sea north of Aldeburgh at about 1.45am.

he always felt more like a boy, according to the BBC.
He said: 'I went to school and I used to wear my skirt. I never liked to dress as a girl.
'When they bought me girls' toys I never bothered playing with them - when I saw a group of boys I would stop to play ball with them.'
Another boy, named Carla, said he is also going through the same transition aged nine after appearing to be born a girl.
Pictures show Carla, who will change his name to Carlos, wearing a pink patterned top with his hair in bunches as he smiles alongside his cousin Catherine.
The condition was first discovered in the 1970s after a scientist from Cornell visited the island.
Babies usually form male sex organs after around eightweeks in the womb, with the change triggered by hormone dihydro-testosterone.
Around two per cent - or one in 90 - babies from Salinas, marked above on the map, are thought to be born with the condition, which occurs due to a missing enzyme during pregnancy
But a handful of babies do not have the enzyme that triggers the hormone surge and consequently appear to be born female.
They will not form male genitalia until they reach puberty, when there is another surge of testosterone.
Some experts have suggested there is such a high concentration of children affected in Salinas due to the village's isolation.
The extraordinary condition will be explored by Dr Michael Mosley on BBC Two's Countdown to Life - The Extraordinary Making of You tomorrow night.

There is an attempt to unscrew something new, as Sabine Dargent's set design twists a cottage into the surly crevices of a mountain, suggesting something mystical. But only when it embraces the melodramatic devices of heightened deliveries does the staging succeed, as seen in the final act with the whistling exchange between Barry Barnes and Simon O'Gorman. And while Morrison's direction takes the edge off, thankfully there is Ian Lloyd Anderson to dutifully bring the play to its solemn close.

For many years, chlorine has been used as a sanitizer in many types of bathing and recreational facilities such as swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and other similar facilities. Commonly, the chlorine is simply added to the water of such a facility in the form of a liquid, such as a solution of sodium hypochlorite, or in the form of a slow-dissolving solid so as to slowly release chlorine into the water over a period of time. More recently, chlorine is generated directly from the water of the facility itself wherein a quantity of salt is added to the water, with the water then subjected to an electrolysis process in order to obtain the chlorine. In order for this process to function efficiently, the salinity of the waterBlackadder's History Season

a slick highway. A 'Narrow Bridge' sign was located alongside the paved highway, at a distance of about 160 feet, both to the east and the west of the bridge. The bridge, a concrete structure, was 20 feet long, and 18 feet wide between the parapets. The bus tore down one guardpost near the west end of the bridge, and battered the concrete parapet along the south edge of the bridge. The impact of the collision knocked the Buick east back across and some 10 to 20 feet more beyond the bridge.
11
The plaintiffs' evidence as to the speed and course of the bus includes the testimony of the surviving occupants of the Buick. They testified that when the Buick was about 125 feetfrom the bridge they saw the oncoming bus some 300 feet west of the bridge, traveling apparently 55 to 65 miles per hour, and that it was some 2 or 3 feet to the left outside its proper lane astride the middle line of the highway. Another witness, one of the passengers on the bus, testified that he thought it was going around 45 miles per hour at the time of the collision. The bus driver did not deny that the bus was on a course covering the center line of the highway in coming toward the bridge. The defendant's counsel in dealing with the contention that its bus driver was driving too fast at the time in question, and on a course astride the

of the bridge when the bus was around 300 feet west of the bridge, and so plaintiffs' witnesses and the bus driver claim to have seen the respective vehicles at about the same instant. Often a claim of physical impossibility is disposed of as raising only a question for the jury.4 The defendant's counsel also say that the physical facts show the collision occurred on the south side of the highway, which was the right side for the bus. Even so we do not think this conclusively refutes the testimony that the bus had been traveling partly across the center line of the highway as it came toward the bridge, nor that it was traveling fast. In fact the bus driver testified that hemade a change of course by a turn to his right towards the south edge of the traveled highway when he was almost to the bridge, and that movement put the bus where it was at the time of the collision.

In the defendant's pleading negligence on several grounds is alleged against the driver of the Buick, but the only one of said claims coming even near the border line between negligence as an issue of fact and negligence as a matter of law, is that of said driver being on the wrong side of the highway at the time of the collision. The testimony is that when the driver of the Buick came in view of the bus rounding the curve into the straight stretch of highway

on the east next to the bridge he drove first to his left across the highway until he found himself hemmed in by the line of guardposts flanking the entrance to the bridge and then turned into the bridge, but on the left side, and was still on the left side partly or altogether at the time of the collision. A driver in a collision on his wrong side of the highway is not always held negligent, however.5 The theory of the plaintiffs is that the driver of the Buick was so scared by the perilous prospect of meeting the bus on the bridge, after seeing it coming on a path over the center line of the highway, and at a fast speed, that in asaw the Buick, some 425 feet away and beyond the bridge, it was on the wrong side of the highway with its left front wheel off of the pavement. He said the bus was then going about 25 miles per hour. The Buick stayed on the wrong side of the highway. In the meantime before the collision the Buick traveled about 165 feet and the bus about 260 feet. The bus had good air brakes on all wheels and dual tires on its rear wheels. The bus driver testified that he put the brakes on enough to slow the bus down, thinking the Buick would have time to get across the bridge in the clear, and had slowed the bus down to about

the Parish of Pointe Coupee, known as Normandy Lane. She was traveling to the home of Carrie Shelbia who was a passenger in her vehicle at the time and who had been employed that morning in the plaintiff's home as a nurse. Approaching in the opposite direction on this clear, dry day was a 1962 Ford one-half ton dump truck operated by Henry T. Brooks, an employee of the Police Jury, who was returning from a job to the highway barn to pick up a trailer.
At the point of the collision, there is a sharp curve on the south side of the road, or to the right of Mrs. Robinson's lane of travel. Thus, while passing through the curve, her lane was inside and the truck driven byshoulder.
The plaintiff contends that she entered the curve entirely within her own lane of travel and that she met the dump truck in the curve as it was encroaching in her lane. Further, that she avoided a head-on collision only by pulling to the right and up the embankment but that, despite her efforts, she was struck on the left rear fender, as a result of which she suffered property damage and personal injuries.
*284 The defense maintains that the point of collision was in Brooks' west-bound lane, where he remained at all times, never crossing the unmarked center of the road. They argue that, as the two vehicles approached each other, the plaintiff's auto suddenly began skidding in a clockwise manner and that its left rear struck the

dump truck as Brooks was attempting to get it off the road to the right to avoid her.
Immediately after the accident, Brooks spoke briefly to the plaintiff and her passenger and then went in his truck to the highway barn where he met his supervisor, Sidney Lee Carroll, and they reported the accident to the Louisiana State Police. Thereafter, he and Carroll returned to the scene of the collision and were present when the accident was investigated by Trooper Eddie J. Bordelon. Unfortunately, that officer died prior to the trial of this matter.
By the consent of the parties, the case was heard in the district court on the question of liability only and judgment was thereafter rendered in favor of the defendant, dismissing plaintiff's suit. We conclude thatto the testimony of Brooks, the defense relies upon certain physical facts, particularly skidmarks and track marks allegedly left by both vehicles, which were supposedly present when the accident was investigated and they have also introduced, by way of an offer of proof, a certified copy of the accident report made by Trooper Bordelon at the scene.
Viewed as a whole, we find that the physical facts are contradictory and inconclusive as to which was the encroaching vehicle. Any evidence received as to skidmarks left by plaintiff's auto on this gravel road must be given a bare minimum of weight, as the evidence is uncontradicted that at least three cars passed on the road, through the scene of the accident, while Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Shelbia waited for the

of the Treaty, was a clear over-interpretation of its provisions. Even if the official version is accepted, many doubts are raised as to the perpetrators and attacks in the US in September, 2001. These terrorist attacks did not constitute an act of aggression on the part of Afghanistan, but were examples of non-state actors in international political relations.
Thus, holding the Afghan state, which was even in a state of partial bankruptcy, responsible for them, was an abuse and a departure beyond mandatory compliance with the wording of the Treaty.
The next missions of NATO after 2001 were carried out in countries not belonging among and not threatening in any way its members, such as Libya for example, where NATO joined terrorist actions aiming to overthrow the legal authorities andwhich as a consequence led to the disintegration of existing state structures.
The only case in which the obligations of NATO were fulfilled in recent years was Operation Ocean Shield, which has lasted since 2009 and was designed to protect ships in transit near the Somali coast from pirates. This concrete case was strongly defined in Article 6 of the Treaty, and it is recognized that entities flying under the flag of NATO member states should be guaranteed protection by NATO, under similar terms, as with their land territory.
Quite another question is the level of reliability of security guarantees provided by NATO. Even a cursory analysis of the content of the above-quoted Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty allows doubts to be expressed as to the nature of

Since it opened to the public a little a year ago, it has become a place of pilgrimage for bereaved chavistas and foreign dignitaries alike; part sanctuary, part national monument, part military theme park and history lesson, the Cuartel epitomizes the blend of personality cult and authoritarian pageantry that Hugo Chávez finessed into his own personal brand of leadership.
As an experience, a Cuartel visit tends toward the North Korean side of the equation. The gallery exhibits, the biographical details discussed and the language are all carefully curated to fit within an epic narrative of the Revolutionary savior.

The mood among our tour group, which was made up of mostly men, peppered with a few families and two Nicaraguan tourists, was a mix of curiosity, respect, awe, and celebration. The pastoral tone of our tour guide, who bestowed upon us the main teachings of Chávez and bits of Bolivarian wisdom, was a far cry from the rhetorical virulence and hostility that was so prominent a part of the Chávez I remember.

In the early days of the present century the small state of Serbia began to campaign for independence from the fellowmen who were occupying parts of the Austro Hungarian Empire,but the Austrian government would not grant it.
At the end of June 1914, a Serbian student,Gabriel Prinz, shot dead the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, here to Austrian Empire.The Austrian blamed the Serbian government and without further ado declare the war.This brought the Russians in on the side of Serbia,which in turn made the Germans declare war on Russia.
France meanwhile, had a treaty ofalliance with Russia and so felt oblige to join in against Germany. The Germans in order to attack France directly, attack Belgium, despite the fact that the emperor known as the Kaiser, had promised not to harm the small state.
The Germans were anxious to try out the new invasion plan, which would, if successful, result in the capture of most of Belgium,part of France,and the city of Paris all in a matter of weeks. The British who had promised to protect Belgium, declared war on Germany on 4th August, and by their first victory over the Germans at the Battle of Marne a few weeks later, they prevented the Germans plan from being carried out.

pick back up when I was in a better place. It was the best thing they could have ever said to me. It was this weird relief and it allowed me to focus completely on my Dad. He was on in-home hospice and we were told he had about a year to live. He ended up passing away 3 weeks later, and I am so incredibly thankful I got to spend those last 3 weeks taking care of him with nothing else on my mind except that.
Dr. Hurliman and her team were so compassionate and patient during this time. It was already overwhelming trying to navigate the fertility injections and going through everything with my Dad made it a million times harder. They answered my every phone callgone, she continued the procedure just as promised. We even experienced an ice storm in the middle of the ovarian simulation process and were unable to get to an appointment the day before egg retrieval. Amanda thoroughly went through our his history and determined that the missed appointment would probably be okay, and it was. Egg retrieval was done the next day with another doctor but this was explained to us prior to it being done. Transfer was done roughly 6 weeks later with Amanda at the NW location which means she needed to leave her office to come to another facility for the procedure. She did a great job with the transfer, it was fast and professional. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and has proven to be able

better garden parties of Toorak and Vaucluse. Alas, there has been a lamentable lack of new Australian sirs and dames - let alone Orders of the Thistle - since Gough Whitlam introduced the Australian honours system in 1975, tossing knighthoods and the like aside.
Malcolm Fraser bravely introduced knights and dames of the Order of Australia in 1976, but only 12 chaps and two dames got the metaphorical sword on the shoulder before the Hawke government gave the whole idea the shove 10 years later. Since then, the blessed have had to be content with the chance at a mere medal and tiny lapel button declaring them an AC or AO or suchlike, with not a gorgeous robe nor a cocked hat in sight. Now even those high honoursare to be devalued, though His Grace tried to reassure them that the new knighthoods and damehoods ''will not affect Companions, Officers or Members of the Orders of Australia''. Haw. Try selling that in the members lounge of the finer clubs! The four knights and dames announced by His Grace Tony the Abbott will pretty clearly ace them all. ''Ah, you have a nice little badge. Very jolly. Sir Peter's the name.'' Triply galling to the newly downgraded, surely, is that the first dame is Quentin Bryce, vice regal for only a few more hours. Dame Quentin mused only recently that she dreamed of the day an Australian child could imagine becoming Australia's first head of state. Good lord, the dame is a republican! But then, even Sir

Robert Menzies once opined that it would be improper for a serving prime minister to accept a knighthood.
David Flint, surely near apoplexy, must be considering an appeal to the Privy Council. Mr Hawke did away with appeals to the Privy Council in 1986, too, but a bit of a chat between Sir Peter Cosgrove and His Grace could put that to rights in this new age of the bunyip aristocracy, you'd think. Loading Mr Hawke, as it happened, was the recipient of a knighthood himself. King Bhumibol of Thailand invested him as a Knight Grand Cordon of the Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant in 1989.

Labor has joined calls for Centrelink's automated debt recovery system to be halted or scrapped, amid reports low-income Australians are wrongly receiving letters of demand for thousands of dollars in possible overpayments.
Changes in the federal government agency's compliance processes in July have seen welfare recipients' Centrelink records compared with other government records, including reported income information collected by the Australian Tax Office.
Recipients of contested welfare payments are given three weeks to establish their eligibility to have received the payments. Credit:Marina Neil

Another flash cracked and parted the sea of darkness at her feet and she looked down upon a centurion as if from above. He held a blood tipped spear as rain washed his face. No. Not rain, but tears. She saw the weeping soldier from behind and over the shoulder of someone between them, someone he saw face to face, a man hanging limp upon a cross.
Wind, rain, and tears blurred her vision as the scene before her swirled and that lone cross multiplied into hundreds filling the Roman Circus before a jeering and mocking crowd possessed by vengeance and hatred. Claudia reeled as if swept by a whirlwind as the crosses remained butthe location transported to the walls of Jerusalem and the jeers turned to wails of mourning. From somewhere within that lament, a voice pierced the wailing of the wind and the mourners,
A blaze of fire snatched Claudia's attention back to the victims whose crosses had now become stakes, pitch covered torches with human fuel providing light for Caesar's garden. As victim after victim burst into flame, a new storm engulfed her dark visions with a conflagration consuming the City of Rome. As it burned, she heard the strums of a lyre and an eerie voice lamenting the destruction of Tyre. The tsunami of flame mercilessly devoured the old city, moving toward a strangely familiar temple that did not belong in Rome. As the firestorm surged over the structure

at the time along the track near which Haney was found. There were no eyewitnesses to the occurrence. It was not shown that the hook was in fact extended at the time and place of Haney's injury, and it was demonstrated that, except for a topographic elevation at one place along the track, the hook, even if extended, was too high to have struck Haney standing on the ground. The position of Haney's body when discovered appeared to contradict plaintiff's theory of causation. The defense contended, first, that plaintiff's theory was practically a physical impossibility, and second, that Haney was probably murdered. Haney's wallet, containing no money, was found six days after and about a block from the place of the injury. The examining doctor who testified thatthe fatal blow might have come from an object attached to a moving train also admitted that the fracture might have resulted from a blow from a pipe or club wielded by an individual. It appeared that many hoboes and tramps frequented the area at night in order to get rides on freight trains, and it was shown that Haney carried a pistol to protect himself, which was found loose under his body by those who discovered him. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, which was overturned by the Supreme Court of Missouri on appeal. On writ of certiorari, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed, holding that the case was properly submitted to the jury, and that it could reasonably be inferred from the

The loading process began by dumping truck loads of beans into a pit some ninety feet from the south end of the beanhouse. Auger-type conveyors moved the beans from the pit to the base of an elevator where the beans were lifted up to a belt conveyor on a trestle about fifty feet above the ground, and there carried a distance of approximately 90 feet into the south end of the monitor where the belt conveyor dumped the beans into a U-shaped trough about eighteen inches deep, extending the length of the monitor and containing a screw conveyor used tomove the beans northward through the monitor. Controllable spouts in the bottom of the trough permitted the incoming beans to be dumped into piles on the concrete floor of the beanhouse approximately fifty-three feet below. As beans dropped on the floor below, they formed conical piles which gradually expanded toward the side walls. Filling with respect to any particular pile was continued until the conical slope on either side of the peak of the pile had reached the desired height; then a new pile would be begun and the process continued until the building was filled. When beans were being dropped into the house from the overhead conveyor, as was the situation at the time of occurrence here in question, the atmosphere inside the house was extremely dusty

his collection showings, there aren't many images of Raf Simons out there. He's said to not like having his photo taken for publications, so of the couple of images of him that we have to go on, he could be described as being a slim, average-looking, Northern European guy. Raf Simons' fixation for youth culture, which remains one of the major influences on his work, helps keep him and his designs vibrant and hip. He'd make a great companion for ladies who go for artsy, intellectual types, not to mention all the free designer clothes they'd probably get out of the deal.
SUCCESS
The name Raf Simons isn't nearly as recognizable as Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Paul Gaultier or John Galliano, but that doesn't mean Raf Simons hasn't made his mark inthe world of fashion. Achieving a certain level of commercial success takes a backseat to moving fashion forward when it comes down to his vision for the labels he directs, and that's been the main reason for Raf Simons' godlike stature within the fashion community.
His early collections for his eponymous label found a niche market of young European hipsters, but more importantly, influenced other brands' more mainstream designs. He's also responsible for having saved the Jil Sander mark, and his collections for that label have served as inspiration for other womenswear marks. In 2004, Raf Simons won the Swiss Textiles Award at the Gwand Fashion Festival. His highly influential vision might be best summed up by stylist/editor Marie-Amélie Sauve, who, in a 2005 New York Times Magazine piece,

2nd ESL April Monthly
Currently 5-1 in CyberGamer OCE Circuit
Qualified for ESL and CyberGamer LAN events
1st ESL Cup #3
1st CyberGamer Weekly 4/4
1st CyberGamer Weekly 18/4
Athletico's strong play in the past two months has reaped its rewards, namely qualification for two LAN events as well as getting picked up by one of Australia's largest esport organisations. The team's 1st placed finish in the third qualification cup gave them favorable seeding in the April Monthly, in which the LAN's final two spots were up for grabs. With Masterminds GC dropping out, Athletico enjoyed a bye in the opening round. Victories over Nemesis and WillWeed secured the team a spot in the monthly's grand-final and thus one ofthe available LAN spots.
The roster's performance was even more impressive in the CyberGamer Circuit, opening the tournament with a five game win streak, including victories over Plot1, Masterminds and Scylla. Notably, the teams only loss with one week remaining in the tournament's regular season came at the hands of 4Legs, the team that defeated them in the April Monthly grand final. Nevertheless, Athletico's five wins in the CyberGamer tournament has guaranteed them a spot at the LAN in Adelaide and a 2-0 win in the final week of play will guarantee them the first seed.
Athletico will look to translate their success in online play into LAN victories in the coming weeks, as the young squad prepares to play in its first major LAN events.

The king, rejoicing at this our disaster and captivity, and expecting other successes, advanced from this castle, and marching slowly, on the third day came to Amida.
2. And at daybreak, everything, as far as we could see, glittered with shining arms; and an iron cavalry filled the plains and the hills.
3. And he himself, mounted on his charger, and being taller than the rest, led his whole army, wearing instead of a crown a golden figure of a ram's head inlaid with jewels; being also splendid from the retinue of men of high rank and of different nations which followed him. And it was evident that his purpose was merely to try the garrison of the walls with a parley, as, in following out the counsel of

of his robe had been cut off by a blow of a javelin, he escaped to cause vast slaughter at a future time.
6. After this, raging as if against sacrilegious men who had violated a temple, he cried out that the lord of so many monarchs and nations had been insulted, and resolved to use all his efforts to destroy the city. But at the entreaty of his choicest generals not to break the example of mercy which he had so gloriously set, by indulging in anger, he was pacified, and the next day ordered the garrison to be summoned to surrender.
7. Therefore, at daybreak, Grumbates, king of the Chionitae, went boldly up to the walls to effect that object, with a brave body of guards; and whena skilful reconnoitrer had noticed him coming within shot, he let fly his balista, and struck down his son in the flower of his youth, who was at his father's side, piercing through his breastplate, breast and all; and he was a prince who in stature and beauty was superior to all his comrades.
8. At his death all his countrymen took to flight, but presently returning in order to prevent his body from being carried off, and having roused with their dissonant clamours various tribes to their aid, a stern conflict arose, the arrows flying on both sides like hail.
9. The deadly struggle having been continued till the close of day, it was nightfall before the corpse of the young prince, which had been so stubbornly defended, was

extricated from the heap of dead and streams of blood, amid the thick darkness; as formerly at Troy, the armies fought in furious combat for the comrade of the Thessalian chieftain.
10. At his death the count was sad, and all the nobles as well as his father were distressed at his sudden loss; and a cessation of arms having been ordered, the youth, so noble and beloved, was mourned after the fashion of his nation. He was carried out in the arms he was wont to wear, and placed on a spacious and lofty pile; around him ten couches were dressed, bearing effigies of dead men, so carefully laid out, that they resembled corpses already buried; and for seven days all the men in the companies and battalionscelebrated a funeral feast, dancing, and singing melancholy kinds of dirges in lamentation for the royal youth.
11. And the women, with pitiable wailing, deplored with their customary weepings the hope of their nation thus cut off in the early bloom of youth; as the worshippers of Venus are often seen to do in the solemn festival of Adonis, which the mystical doctrines of religion show to be some sort of image of the ripened fruits of the earth.
1. When the body was burnt and the bones collected in a silver urn, which his father had ordered to be carried back to his native land, to be there buried beneath the earth, Sapor, after taking counsel, determined to propitiate the shade of the deceased prince by making the destroyed

city of Amida his monument. Nor indeed was Grumbates willing to move onward while the shade of his only son remained unavenged.
2. And having given two days to rest, and sent out large bodies of troops to ravage the fertile and well-cultivated fields which were as heavy with crops as in the time of peace, the enemy surrounded the city with a line of heavy-armed soldiers five deep; and at the beginning of the third day the brilliant squadrons filled every spot as far as the eye could see in every direction, and the ranks marching slowly, took up the positions appointed to each by lot.
3. All the Persians were employed in surrounding the walls; that part which looked eastward, where that youth so fatal to us wasa step or uttering a sound; nor was even the neigh of a horse heard; and the men having withdrawn in the same order as they had advanced, after refreshing themselves with food and sleep, even before the dawn, returned, led by the clang of brazen trumpets, to surround the city, as if fated to fall with their terrible ring.
6. And scarcely had Grumbates, like a Roman fecial, hurled at us a spear stained with blood, according to his native fashion, than the whole army, rattling their arms, mounted up to the walls, and instantly the tumult of war grew fierce, while all the squadrons hastened with speed and alacrity to the attack, and our men on their side opposed them with equal fierceness and resolution.
7. Soon many

of the enemy fell with their heads crushed by vast stones hurled from scorpions, some were pierced with arrows, others were transfixed with javelins, and strewed the ground with their bodies; others, wounded, fled back in haste to their comrades.
8. Nor was there less grief or less slaughter in the city, where the cloud of arrows obscured the air, and the vast engines, of which the Persians had got possession when they took Singara, scattered wounds everywhere.
9. For the garrison, collecting all their forces, returning in constant reliefs to the combat, in their eagerness to defend the city, fell wounded, to the hindrance of their comrades, or, being sadly torn as they fell, threw down those who stood near them, or if still alive, sought the aid ofthose skilful in extracting darts which had become fixed in their bodies.
10. So slaughter was met by slaughter, and lasted till the close of day, being scarcely stopped by the darkness of evening, so great was the obstinacy with which both sides fought.
11. And the watches of the night were passed under arms, and the hills resounded with the shouts raised on both sides, while our men extolled the valour of Constantius Caesar as lord of the empire and of the world, and the Persians styled Sapor Saansas and Pyroses, which appellations mean king of kings, and conqueror in wars.
12. The next morning, before daybreak, the trumpet gave the signal, and countless numbers from all sides flocked like birds to a contest of similar violence; and in every

dangerous humours. The third is called loemodes, which is also temporary, but still often kills with great rapidity.
8. We were attacked by this deadly pestilence from the excessive heat, which our numbers aggravated, though but few died: and at last, on the night after the tenth day from the first attack, the heavy and dense air was softened by a little rain, and the health of the garrison was restored and preserved.
1. In the mean time the restless Persians were surrounding the city with a fence of wicker-work, and mounds were commenced; lofty towers also were constructed with iron fronts, in the top of each of which a balista was placed, in order to drive down the garrison from the battlements; but during the whole time the showerwhen the gates were completely blocked, and they were utterly unable to get out, in spite of the entreaties of their tribunes, they became furious as wild beasts. But on subsequent occasions their services became conspicuous, as we shall show.
4. In a remote part of the walls on the southern side, which looks down on the Tigris, there was a high tower, below which yawned an abrupt precipice, which it was impossible to look over without giddiness. From this by a hollow subterranean passage along the foot of the mountain some steps were cut with great skill, which led up to the level of the city, by which water was secretly obtained from the river, as we have seen to be the case in all the fortresses in

that district which are situated on any river.
5. This passage was dark, and because of the precipitous character of the rock was neglected by the besiegers, till, under the guidance of a deserter who went over to them, seventy Persian archers of the royal battalion, men of eminent skill and courage, being protected by the remoteness of the spot which prevented their being heard, climbed up by the steps one by one at midnight, and reached the third story of the tower. There they concealed themselves till daybreak, when they held out a scarlet cloak as a signal for commencing an assault, when they saw that the city was entirely surrounded by the multitude of their comrades; and then they emptied their quivers and threw them down atthe day was given to rest in order to recruit our strength; and at the dawn of the next morning we saw from the citadel an innumerable multitude, which, after the capture of the fort called Ziata, was being led to the enemy's camp. For a promiscuous multitude had taken refuge in Ziata on account of its size and strength; it being a place ten furlongs in circumference.
2. In those days many other fortresses also were stormed and burnt, and many thousands of men and women carried off from them into slavery; among whom were many men and women, enfeebled by age, who, fainting from different causes, broke down under the length of the journey, gave up all desire of life, and were hamstrung and left behind.
3. The

strength and boldness, continued to hew down their foes with their swords, though some of their own men were also slain, pierced by the arrows which were flying from all quarters; and they still stood firm, when they saw the whole danger collected into one point, and the bands of the enemy coming on with speed; yet no one turned his back: and they withdrew, retiring slowly as if in time to music, and gradually fell behind the pales of the camp, being unable to sustain the weight of the battalions pressing close upon them, and being deafened by the clang of the Persian trumpets.
10. And while many trumpets in turn poured out their clang from the city, the gates were opened to receive our men, if theymen.
12. To their leaders, as champions of valiant actions, the emperor, after the fall of the city, ordered statues in armour to be erected at Edessa in a frequented spot. And those statues are preserved up to the present time unhurt.
13. When the next day showed the slaughter which had been made, nobles and satraps were found lying amongst the corpses, and all kinds of dissonant cries and tears indicated the changed posture of the Persian host: everywhere was heard wailing; and great indignation was expressed by the princes, who thought that the Romans had forced their way through the sentries in front of the walls. A truce was made for three days by the common consent of both armies, and we gladly accepted a little respite in

which to take breath.
1. Now the nations of the barbarians, being amazed at the novelty of this attempt, and rendered by it more savage than ever, discarding all delay, determined to proceed with their works, since open assaults availed them but little. And with extreme warlike eagerness they all now hastened to die gloriously, or else to propitiate the souls of the dead by the ruin of the city.
2. And now, the necessary preparations having been completed by the universal alacrity, at the rising of the day-star all kinds of structures and iron towers were brought up to the walls; on the lofty summits of which balistae were fitted, which beat down the garrison who were placed on lower ground.
3. And when day broke the iron coverings ofthe bodies of the foe darkened the whole heaven, and the dense lines advanced without any skirmishers in front, and not in an irregular manner as before, but to the regular and soft music of trumpets; protected by the roofs of the engines, and holding before them wicker shields.
4. And when they came within reach of our missiles, the Persian infantry, holding their shields in front of them, and even then having difficulty in avoiding the arrows which were shot from the engines on the walls, for scarcely any kind of weapon found an empty space, they broke their line a little; and even the cuirassiers were checked and began to retreat, which raised the spirits of our men.
5. Still the balistae of the enemy, placed on their

us the formidable battalions of the Persians, with their trains of elephants, the noise and size of which animals are such that nothing more terrible can be presented to the mind of man.
7. And while we were pressed on all sides with the vast masses of arms, and works, and beasts, still our scorpions were kept at work with their iron slings, hurling huge round stones from the battlements, by which the towers of the enemy were crushed and the balistae and those who worked them were dashed to the ground, so that many were desperately injured, and many crushed by the weight of the falling structures. And the elephants were driven back with violence, and surrounded by the flames which we poured forth against them, the momentthat they were wounded retired, and could not be restrained by their riders. The works were all burnt, but still there was no cessation from the conflict.
8. For the king of the Persians himself, who is never expected to mingle in the fight, being indignant at those disasters, adopting a new and unprecedented mode of action, sprang forth like a common soldier among his own dense columns; and as the very number of his guards made him the more conspicuous to us who looked from afar on the scene, he was assailed by numerous missiles, and was forced to retire after he had lost many of his escort, while his troops fell back by echellons; and at the end of the day, though frightened neither by the sad

assailants.
2. And long did the bloody conflict last, nor was any one of the garrison driven by fear of death from his resolution to defend the city. The conflict was prolonged, till at last, while the fortune of the two sides was still undecided, the structure raised by our men, having been long assailed and shaken, at last fell, as if by an earthquake.
3. And the whole space which was between the wall and the external mound being made level as if by a causeway or a bridge, opened a passage to the enemy, which was no longer embarrassed by any obstacles; and numbers of our men, being crushed or enfeebled by their wounds, gave up the struggle. Still men flocked from all quarters to repel so imminenta danger, but from their eager haste they got in one another's way, while the boldness of the enemy increased with their success.
4. By the command of the king all his troops now hastened into action, and a hand-to-hand engagement ensued. Blood ran down from the vast slaughter on both sides: the ditches were filled with corpses, and thus a wider path was opened for the besiegers. And the city, being now filled with the eager crowd which forced its way in, all hope of defence or of escape was cut off, and armed and unarmed without any distinction of age or sex were slaughtered like sheep.
5. It was full evening, when, though fortune had proved adverse, the bulk of our troops was still fighting in good order;
