Had he noticed? If he had, he paid no attention but went on being groomed. Freud very quietly climbed another tree and began to feed.
Harvard University psychologist Marc Hauser observed what could be called embarrassment in a male rhesus monkey. After mating with a female, the male strutted away and accidentally fell into a ditch. He stood up and quickly looked around. After sensing that no other monkeys saw him tumble, he marched off, back high, head and tail up, as if nothing had happened.
Animal rescues: feeling compassion for those in need
Stories about animals rescuing members of their own and other species, including humans, abound. They show how individuals of different species display compassion and empathy for those in need.
In Torquay, Australia, after a mother kangaroo was struckby a car, a dog discovered a baby joey in her pouch and took it to his owner who cared for the youngster. The 10-year-old dog and 4-month-old joey eventually became best friends.
On a beach in New Zealand, a dolphin came to the rescue of two pygmy sperm whales stranded behind a sand bar. After people tried in vain to get the whales into deeper water, the dolphin appeared and the two whales followed it back into the ocean.
Dogs are also known for helping those in need. A lost pit bull mutt broke up an attempted mugging of a woman leaving a playground with her son in Port Charlotte, Florida. An animal control officer said it was clear the dog was trying to defend the woman, whom he

Lowe is known for his community art project Project Row Houses, which transformed a series of shotgun houses in Houston's Third Ward neighborhood into places that brought the community together, like galleries, classrooms, studios for artist residencies, and community gathering spaces.Tropical Storm Alberto emerged seemingly out of nowhere about 140 miles southeast of Charleston, S.C., on Saturday afternoon. It initially is projected to aim generally northeast, parallel to the East Coast. Sunday morning, the storm was about 90 miles southeast of Charleston.
The storm was not expected to approach landfall on the Carolinas' coast, but it prompted a tropical storm watch and forecasters warned that it could produce high winds, heavy surf, rip currents and scattered rain across the region.
At 11 a.m. Sunday, Alberto was slowly moving southwest at 6 mph with sustained winds of 45 mph. It is forecast to remain at tropical storm strength until it fizzles in the North Atlantic.
Senior hurricane specialist Michael Brennan said Alberto was created out of an area of low pressure. Although

agencies to relocate the residents, and to permit access to the Department to ensure compliance
with the order. On May 8, 2003, the court issued a rule for Jones to appear on June 25, 2003 to
show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failure to comply with the April 2, 2003
injunction.
At the June 25, 2003 hearing, the court determined Jones had not complied with the
previous order. The court found Jones continued to provide care and services to six residents,
three of whom he had moved to a different address. Ruling that Jones had not willfully defied
the earlier order, the court did not hold him in contempt. Thereafter, the court At the September 10, 2003 show cause hearing, the court heard evidence concerning the
status of the residents. Social worker Sandra Liebler testified that on August 13, 2003 she visited
the facility and observed more than three residents there. Susan Hackney, a Department
licensing administrator, testified appellant failed to contact her by July 9 as required. Patrick
Harvey, a licensing inspector, testified that on July 22, 2003, he visited both facility locations

for by Jones.

Christianity in Ethiopia
goes back to the 4th Century when a Christian
philosopher and his two students, traveling from India to Syria, were
shipwrecked on the Red Sea coast. While Meropius the philosopher was
promptly beheaded, the two youths, Frumentius and Edesius, were captured
as slaves and taken to Axum in the Ethiopian highlands. King Ezana of
Axum became fond of them and in time they rose to high positions in his
administration, and were eventually granted their liberty. It is these
two who are credited with introducing Christianity to Axum.
Edesius returned to his native Tyre, but Frumentius was sent to Christian
Alexandria for an audience with Patriarch Athansios to request a bishop
for Axum. The Patriarch appointed Frumentius himself as the first
bishop, who returned to Axum to start his mission. Over the centuries,
the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
continued tobe linked to the Patriarchate
of Alexandria which sent Egyptian Coptic
bishops until 1951 when it
became autarchic, under an arrangement instigated by Emperor Haile
Selassie.
Modern Ethiopia is just over 50% Orthodox Christian, while the rest is
Muslim as well as
Roman Catholic, and animist
in the South. Up until the
death of Haile Selassie in 1974 after a Communist coup, tens of thousands
of monks lived in
monasteries throughout the highland region. Life
became difficult after the coup, but since democracy was reinstated in
1991, the life of the Church and religious orders has again improved,
although not with the numbers they had before. There are two kinds of
monks: those who live permanently in monasteries and study usually from
an early age. And those who become monks when they retire from normal
working life, and eke out their final years as wandering

in Blenheim, where the first state house would be sold under the FirstHome scheme.
Greens believed that government should be hugely expanding its state housing stock. The Government said the total number of state houses was irrelevant. It was focused on providing housing in high-demand areas.
The National-led Government has also committed to building 2000 new state houses in two years. This would require a significant upscaling because just 200 state houses had been built in the last two fiscal years.
A spokesperson for Dr Smith said yesterday that HNZ had begun work on 621 homes and had contracts in place for another 513 homes. The corporation expected to hit the target of 2000 homes in June 2015.

On 11 June 2007, Petrić signed for German Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund, along with fellow Croatian national team player Robert Kovač, as part of the side's squad rebuilding. While originally being intended to act as a playmaker behind the forwards in a 4–4–2 diamond system, it quickly turned out that he was more effective as a striker up front. He enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring a brace in Dortmund's 3–0 victory against Werder Bremen.

Venezuela
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has now been offered asylum in three American countries: Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. He has applied for asylum in six additional countries, according to WikiLeaks. And his chances for reaching a safe haven are growing further because of US interference in the process, according to Michael Bochenek, director of law and policy at Amnesty International.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa stated in an interview this month that his government would consider granting political asylum to Syrian head-of-state Bashar al Assad. President Assad is reportedly mulling asylum for himself, his family members, and close associates, in the event that he is forced to flee Damascus as the bloody civil war in his country escalates.
Sources state that, in a bid to explore the possibility of asylum, Syria's Deputyon U.S. foreign policy.
According to secret U.S. State Department cables recently released by whistle-blowing outfit WikiLeaks, American diplomats from Hillary Clinton on down have little evidence of a significant military alliance between Iran and Venezuela, yet that didn't stop surging Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum from exaggerating the threat from this quarter in a recent debate. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the Chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee, has meanwhile been holding hearings on the supposed Iranian-Latin American threat to the U.S.
Hopefully the Democrats will not seek to echo the Chávez-Ahmadinejad military angle which will only serve to further inflame the tattered state of U.S.-Venezuelan relations, yet it's no secret that the Obama administration, like its predecessor, would like to rid itself of the populist left current in Latin America.

founding leaders had been killed for refusing to renounce their beliefs. Many believed that God did not condone killing or the use of force for any reason and were therefore unwilling to fight for their lives. These pacifist branches often survived by seeking refuge in neutral cities or nations, such as Strasbourg. Their safety, however, was often tenuous, as a shift in alliances or an invasion could mean resumed persecution. Other groups of Anabaptists, such as the Batenburgers, were eventually destroyed by their very willingness to fight. This played a large part in the evolution of Anabaptist theology.
In the early days of the Anabaptist movement, Menno Simons, a Catholic priest in the Netherlands, heard of the movement and started to rethink his Catholic faith. He questioned the doctrineof transubstantiation, but was reluctant to leave the Roman Catholic Church. His thinking was influenced by the death of his brother, who, as a member of an Anabaptist group, was killed when he and his companions were attacked and refused to defend themselves. In 1536, at the age of 40, Simons left the Roman Catholic Church. Soon thereafter he became a leader within the Anabaptist movement. He would become a hunted man with a price on his head for the rest of his life. His name became associated with scattered groups of nonviolent Anabaptists he helped to organize and consolidate.
Fragmentation and variation
During the sixteenth century, the Mennonites and other Anabaptists were relentlessly persecuted. By the seventeenth century, some of them joined the state church in Switzerland, and persuaded
|

the authorities to relent in their attacks. The Mennonites outside the state church were divided on whether to remain in communion with their brothers within the state church, and this led to a split. Those against remaining in communion with them became known as the Amish, after their founder Jacob Amman. Those who remained in communion with them retained the name Mennonite. This period of persecution has had a significant impact on Mennonite identity. Martyrs Mirror, published in 1660, documents much of the persecution of Anabaptists and their predecessors. Today, the book is still the most important book besides the Bible for many Mennonites and Amish, in particular for the Swiss-South German branch of Mennonitism. Persecution was still going on until 1710 in various parts of Switzerland.
Other disagreementsover the years have led to other splits; sometimes the reasons were theological, sometimes practical, sometimes geographical. For instance, near the beginning of the twentieth century, there were some members in the Amish church who wanted to begin having Sunday Schools and evangelize. Unable to persuade the rest of the Amish, they separated and formed the Conservative Mennonite Conference. Mennonites in Canada and other countries typically have independent denominations because of the practical considerations of distance and, in some cases, language.
The first recorded account of this group is in a written order by Countess Anne, who ruled a small province in central Europe. The presence of some small groups of violent Anabaptists was causing political and religious turmoil in her state, so she decreed that all Anabaptists were

end of the war. Initially skeptical of the program, government agencies learned to appreciate the men's service and requested more workers from the program. CPS made significant contributions to forest fire prevention, erosion and flood control, medical science and reform of the mental health system.
Schisms
Prior to migration to America, Anabaptists in Europe were divided between those of Dutch and Swiss-German background. However, both Dutch and Swiss groups took their name from Menno Simons who led the Dutch group. A trickle of Dutch Mennonites began the migration to America in 1683, followed by a much larger migration of Swiss-German Mennonites beginning in 1707.
After immigration to America, many of the early Mennonites split from the main body of North American Mennonites and formed their own separate and distinct churches, aprocess that began in 1785 with the formation of the orthodox Reformed Mennonite Church and is ongoing today. Many of these churches were formed as a response to deep disagreements about theology, doctrine, and church discipline as evolution both inside and outside the Mennonite faith occurred. Many of the 'modern' churches descended from those groups that abandoned traditional Mennonite practices. Today, the groups that have held to the traditional interpretations of Mennonite doctrine are increasing at a more rapid rate than those groups that have rejected these standards. However, the moderate denominations are still by far the largest and continue to grow at a steady rate.
These historical schisms have had an influence on creating the distinct Mennonite denominations that exist today. Such divisions continue to go on today

or law enforcement is acceptable. Outreach and help to the wider community at home and abroad is encouraged. Mennonite Central Committee is a leader in foreign aid provision.
The Reformed Mennonite Church, with members in the United States and Canada, represents the first division in the original North American Mennonite body. Called the First Keepers of the Old Way by author Stephen Scott, the Reformed Mennonite Church formed in the very early 19th century. Reformed Mennonites see themselves as true followers of Menno Simon's teachings and of the teachings of the New Testament. They have no church rules, but they rely solely on the Bible as their guide. They insist on strict separation from all other forms of worship and dress in conservative plain garb that preserves eighteenth centuryMennonite details. However, they refrain from forcing their Mennonite faith on their children, allow their children to attend public schools, and have permitted the use of automobiles. They are notable for being the church of Milton S. Hershey's mother and famous for the long and bitter ban of Robert Bear, a Pennsylvania farmer who rebelled against what he saw as dishonesty and disunity in the leadership.
Holdeman Mennonites were founded from a schism in 1859, the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite church has about 19,000 members worldwide. They are known as Holdeman Mennonites after their founder. They emphasize evangelical conversion, strict church discipline and shunning of the excommunicated. They stay separate from other Mennonite groups because of their emphasis on the one-true church doctrine and their use of

Robinson broadcast these exchanges to 250,000 people watching him on Facebook Live and even captured the moment police arrested him.

Cawthron said outside court after the ruling: 'I am quietly pleased. He could be back with his family in hours.'
Supporters in the packed courtroom broke into a round of applause as Lord Burnett announced the decision.
The judge ordered that there should be 'silence' as he continued to read a summary of the reasons for Wednesday's ruling.
A statement from Carson Kaye solicitors, which represented Robinson, said: 'The rule of law and the right to a fair hearing are fundamental to every individual and this ruling is an example of the procedural safeguards of our system, and its potential for protecting every citizen equally.
'What makes the British system so unique is the ability to set aside personal feelings and deal with the law and each case on its merits.'
About 40supporters of Tommy Robinson gathered behind a metal railing at the opposite side of the building's entrance to anti-fascist protesters, with police officers between the two groups.
As a group of Stand Up To Racism demonstrators left the area, Robinson's supporters shouted 'cheerio'.
Chief executive Nick Lowles said later Robinson remained 'a fraud' who had 'shown utter contempt for justice and the rule of law'.
In response to yesterday's decision, chief executive Nick Lowles said: 'Far from being a martyr for 'free speech', his are the actions of a dangerous, narcissistic extremist attempting to unite the far right around his virulent Islamophobic agenda'.
Robinson's footage, lasting around an hour, was watched 250,000 times within hours of being posted on Facebook.

Robinson, 35, sent a legal team to the Court of Appeal in London to argue his sentence should be cut.
But leading judges reserved their decision until yesterday before giving him a partial victory that secured his release.
Tommy's supporters gathered outside the High Court yesterday ahead of the decision
Supporters gathered at the Court of Appeal two weeks ago only to be told Robinson would have to wait until yesterday for a decision
What a judge told Robinson after he was found in contempt of court last year Tommy Robinson was warned he was on a 'knife edge' when he was found in contempt of court at a previous court case last year He tried to film four men accusedMay. The judge determined that Robinson's broadcasting of a video online breached a court order which postponed any reporting of a trial until the conclusion of another, linked, trial. He was jailed within five hours of the video being filmed and posted online. He was previously given a suspended sentence for contempt at Canterbury Crown Court, when a judge told him it was likely he would go to prison if he engaged in similar conduct in future. Why has he been released? Robinson has been freed on bail pending a rehearing of the allegation relating to Leeds Crown Court after the finding of contempt was quashed by Court of Appeal judges.

They would gladly have put Peter and John to death, but dared not, for fear of the people.EW 193.1
On the following day the apostles were brought before the council. The very men who had eagerly cried for the blood of the Just One were there. They had heard Peter deny his Lord with cursing and swearing when charged with being one of His disciples, and they hoped again to intimidate him. But Peter had been converted, and he now saw an opportunity to remove the stain of thatgenerally known, the priests felt that their own power would be lost, and they would be looked upon as the murderers of Jesus. Yet all that they dared to do was to threaten the apostles and command them to speak no more in the name of Jesus, lest they die. But Peter declared boldly that they could but speak the things which they had seen and heard.EW 194.2
By the power of Jesus the disciples continued to heal the afflicted and the sick who were brought to them. Hundreds enlisted daily under the banner of a crucified, risen, and ascended Saviour.

If spoken to, Meiyerditch citizens can help players by sharing what they know of The Myreque, explaining the nature of the ghetto city, or sharing their knowledge about what sector of the city the player is currently in.

It all came down to a decider today between Sweden and the hosts after both picked up three points against Croatia and Bulgaria. Marija Banušić scored a hat-trick as Sweden defeated Hungary 5-0, taking her top of the scorers; charts in the first qualifying round with 11 goals, a record for this stage. Hungary are out, unable to progress as one of the four runners-up with the best record against the teams first and third in their sections across the ten groups.
Within 34 minutes of their opener against Croatia, Sweden were five up, eventually winning 6-0 with two goals each from Fanny

another Raven joined her, both quite busy with the construction.
She keeps trying
This time it's going into place
While Ravens and Crows normally get along well, they do not do so during nesting season. Raven don't descriminate, so they will prey on a crows young too. So When the crows that are also nesting in the little forest, noted their activity they immediately began mobbing the Ravens, forcing the male to defend his newly claimed territory.

He wasn't very successful, but kept trying. This went on for a few days. Then one day, last week, I went back to discover that the new nest had already been abandoned. I guess defending it against that many crows was nearly impossible.

I learned last year that Ravens, being theto the newly constructed and abandoned nest.

One of many trails
My trip to the River Valley on Monday was adventurous to say the least. Both bus stops that would drop me off close to the trails were closed due to construction. Nevertheless, after some time, I found a way in. While I was seeking a way in, I came across this tiny brown cottontail, who obligingly didn't run off at the sight of me.
Brown cotton-tail
When I visit the river valley, I like to follow one particular trail that runs alongside the river itself. Mostly I like it because there are few people that use this trail. This is where I spotted a Peregrine Falcon last year. This time I watched a crow moving about on some driftwood

1990s, this definitive series of stamps continuously expanded due to hyperinflation and a corresponding change in postal rates. Many stamps were reissued using the same design but with a modified denomination. For example, the face value of the stamp with the Golden Gate in Vladimir increased from 10 kopecks to 150 rubles, that is, by 1500 times. The maximum stamp denomination reached 5,000 rubles.
The second and third issues of definitive stamps came out in 1997–1999. Landscape orientation of stamps was replaced with portrait one. The second series included 12 denominations, and the third one had 15 denominations. By design, stamps of two issues were not different from each other. The need for the third issue was caused by a 1000-fold of the Russian ruble redenomination followed by withdrawalAge 14
In 1922, the 12-year-old Irish gamin John Condon enrolls in the army, trying to escape poverty and dreariness. When war breaks out, his regiment gets sent to the Belgian front. Once there, he discovers that war is not an exciting adventure, but a grim reality. He does not have to suffer for long: he is killed in battle at age 14 near Ieper, where his grave can still be found.

to Saudi Arabia.
Mubarak, the last Pharaoh of Egypt as many Egyptians sarcastically called him, now resides behind bars. Qaddafi of Libya, once the absolute despot over his people, was killed in a humiliating manner. Abdullah Ali Saleh of Yemen found himself unable to sustain his power in the face of persistent widespread protests, in spite of his reliance on brutal arbitrary oppression of his people.
Of course, it is in Syria today where there is most anticipation as to how the revolution will unfold: the Assad regime has been deeply entrenched for many years. Now, due to its unrestrained vicious killing, it is doubtful that its fate could turn out more successfully than some of the other deposed Arab tyrants.
Although each Arab society has its internal and external politicaltook them some time to jump on the bandwagon. As a matter of fact, the Muslim Brothers had entered into conciliatory arrangements with the dictatorial Mubarak regime while the revolution was at its height.
Even during the week preceding the first round of elections in late November 2011, the Muslim Brothers decided to refrain from joining many revolutionary groups that returned to Tahrir Square, determined to rescue the revolution from the control of the Military Council. In fact, the Muslim Brothers seem to have established an unholy alliance with the very Military Council people were protesting against.
Nonetheless, the Muslim Brotherhood achieved relative victory in the first round of Egyptian elections, receiving about 40% of popular support. Were it not for a lot of skepticism about the exact position of

such case, they were to be wholly for the benefit of the United States; or any person might file an information with such attorney, and then the proceedings were to be for the use of an informer and the United States in equal parts.
Clearly this act was intended for private, not public property for such property of persons as required, under the laws of war, a judicial sentence of condemnation to divest the title of its owner, not such property of a hostile government as had already been captured by an army and subjected to the complete and undisputed dominion and ownership of the conquering power. It applies, as will be seen, to all property, personal as well as real. Not only to a laboratory into the title of the *484 United States as conqueror, that was, or could be, cut off by the judgment of the court. It will hardly be contended, we think, that if, after the close of the war, an information had been filed with the district attorney against the Charleston custom-house, and he had proceeded to have it condemned under the act, the United States would be estopped from objecting to the claim of an informer, for one-half its value, and yet the custom-house, although owned by the United States before the war, was no more its property at the close than was the laboratory informed against in this case, if the statements in the record are true. The very libel of information, filed by the district attorney,

shows upon its face that the title of the United States was then complete, and the fair inference from the petition of Titus to be made a party to the cause is, that the case made by the libel is the same as that he presented to the attorney for proceedings. Certainly the United States are not prohibited from asserting, as against the informer, that the case he brought to its consideration, and upon which it acted, was not one in which he could be interested.
But it is further claimed that there is an estoppel in favor of this informer because the Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau omitted to appear and resist the judgment of condemnation, and, after the sale was made, applied for and received from thecourt one-half the proceeds.
The act of July 16th, 1866, gave the commissioner of that bureau the control and management of property of the character proceeded against, for certain purposes specified, but in this he was only the agent of the United States. His bureau was the department of the government authorized to manage the trust to which the property had been devoted. He is not estopped if the United States are not, and his neglect to appear and defend against the proceedings can certainly have no more effect against the United States than the institution of the original proceedings.
Neither was an estoppel created by the receipt of the purchase-money. The order in favor of the informer was made on the 8th April, 1868, and the property remained unsold

people who created Factom explain that the blockchain manages and secures data, documents, and systems on an autonomous blockchain protocol. Basically, Factom allows users to create hashes of digitized assets through the Factom blockchain API and the hashes are combined into a single hash.
The finished product is then anchored to the BTC chain and Bitcoin miners record entries for order finality and audit entries for validity. Factom was first announced in 2014 and launched the genesis block on September 1, 2015. Four years later, on September 21, a single FCT is worth $3. At one time FCT touched a high of $78 on January 2018. Similar to Counterparty, Factom was considered a Bitcoin 2.0 project, but is far less popular today as it was in its heyday.

Seven years for drug driver who caused death of cyclist in Notts
Lucy Ball
A heroin user who got behind the wheel and killed a cyclist, has been jailed for seven years.
Christopher Jewkes, 35, had taken five pounds worth of heroin before getting in his 4X4 vehicle on 21 August 2014.
As he drove from Warsop towards Mansfield, Nicholas Highfield was cycling the opposite way along the A60 Leeming Lane South, in Mansfield.
Jewkes, who was also taking prescription medication, lost control of his car, mounted the kerb and drove into Nicholas, 41, causing his death.
Today, Tuesday, 21 June, Jewkes, formerly of Tudor Court, Selston, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court and was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison for causing death by careless driving while under the influence ofABIGAIL
I have heard it preached many times sadly by women, that a woman must submit to her husband at all times even when he is wrong as long as she has alerted her husband, whatever he choses to do or not to do is on his head and it is no longer on the woman's head. Not so with Abigail. Abigail heard of the folly of her husband, she knew that his folly had placed them under great danger, even death. She was not about to submit to a foolish death sentence. She would act quickly and without his knowledge because he would prevent her from doing what is right. I believe that she was inspired or motivated by God to act as she did. She did so

the outer walls, and the inner pan and the outer pan interact through the medium of a supporting system. The inner pan and the outer pan are made of metallic material and the inner pan is provided at least on one inner side of the bottom and the upright walls with a cooling fin system for optimizing the heat transfer. The supporting system is effective between the bottoms of the inner pan and the outer pan. The upright walls of the inner pan and of the outer pan are connected to the engine housing structure.
The advantages mainly achieved with the invention are to be seen in that the inner wall and the outer wall of the pan system can be constituted in the intended manner with defined designeffort. In doing so, the inner walls and the outer walls are made of metal, preferably of lightweight metal, and have an advantageous strength and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the particularly ingenious cooling fin system, above all on the bottom and the upright walls of the inner wall, enables an optimized heat transfer between the inner pan, which is exposed to the coolant of the internal combustion engine, and the lubricating oil of the the internal combustion engine. The supporting system between the bottoms of the inner pan and the outer pan and also the chosen connection of the upright walls of the latter mentioned pans to the engine housing structure of the internal combustion engine are also to be emphasized in this regard. For appropriate applications, the cooling

Physiologically, this stage is marked by the release of the Elixir in the blood that rejuvenates the body into a perfect vessel of health. Brain ambrosia is said to be released through the interaction of light with the phallic-shaped pineal gland and matter from the vulva of the pituitary. This heavenly food or viaticum both nourishes and energizes the cells without any waste products being produced. These physiological and psychological processes create the Second Body, a body of solid light that emerges through the Crown or Gold Chakra.

But Woods was showing signs of bouncing back after shooting 40 on the front nine. His second birdie came on the 13th hole, a tough par 4 that McIlroy, Immelman and Pettersson all bogeyed.
Woods wasn't pleased with his drive on the par-4 15th. His club went sailing when he let go of it on the follow through, and the ball flew well to the right of the fairway, landing in a grassy, sandy area not too far from the beach.
Woods was able to recover, hitting a terrific shot to the green. He then came up limping for a few seconds before pulling what appeared to be some sort of prickly brush off the right leg ofhis pants.
He looked fine when he arrived at the green and two-putted for par.
Vijay Singh dropped back to 2 under with bogeys on Nos. 12 and 14 and a double bogey on 15.

Venezuela is in a jam of a situation. Inflation is supposedly at 67% though it is acknowledged that food inflation is around 90+%. When I got to Venezuela a carton of eighteen eggs went for 183 bolivares. At the beginning of February I saw a carton of eggs at 283 bolivares. When I got to Venezuela in early November 93 bolivares bought one Yankee dollar on the illegal parallel market. A week later it was 100:1, soon thereafter it was 120:1, a week later around 150:1, ten days later 180:1 or so. Today it's around 170/1 in Cucuta, Colombia and on the new restricted and

Olson is only the country's second National Taxpayer Advocate and by far the longer-serving one. Although the IRS has had an ombudsman in some form since 1979, Congress expanded the scope of the office in 1996 and created the title of National Taxpayer Advocate in 1998. Olson has held the post since 2001.
The whole intent was to15 minutes, about a quarter of them will never get to a live person. And if they do get through, responders at the IRS are increasingly under pressure to keep moving from one call to the next, leaving little time to consider each taxpayer as a human being, Olson says.
Before taking the NTA job, Olson had plenty of experience dealing with the IRS as a mechanized behemoth. In one case, a woman from Egypt came to her nonprofit tax clinic near Richmond, Va. The woman's husband had hidden income from the IRS and gotten caught.

entered the intersection.
The day of the accident it was raining. Soileau testified he never saw the stop sign. He was not much acquainted with the intersection having traveled the road only once or twice a year. He stated that the only car he saw stopped at the intersection was Fontenot's, so he thought he had the right of way.
The investigating police officer, Charles Ray Fontenot, testified that when he returned to the scene one or two days after the accident, he observed tree branches hanging over the sign. He continued by stating that as he got closer to the intersection the visibility of the sign became clearer. The city argues that since one could see the sign clearly from a certain distance and the fact that part ofstate and any of its branches, departments, offices, agencies, boards, commissions, instrumentalities, officers, officials, employees, and political subdivisions and the departments, offices, agencies, boards, commissions, instrumentalities, officers, officials, and employees of such political subdivisions.
The city had at the least constructive notice of the hanging branches. Dr. James Foret, a horticulture expert, testified that it would take four year for the branches to grow to obscure the stop sign.
Mr. Roy Fontenot, street commissioner for Ville Platte, testified that he had no records that the branches had ever been cut before the accident or that any complaints were made concerning the hanging branches, but that he was unaware of the branches hanging over the sign. He testified that he had driven past this intersection many times.

be exposed so as to make it available for picking. Conventionally, this is achieved by removing the cover tape from the carrier tape. The cover tape is then fed away by a separate cover tape handling means in order for the cover tape not to disturb the picking of components. Generally, the cover tape handling means comprises a winding hub on which the cover tape is wound. Additionally, when unloading the component tape from the component mounting machine, or the tape magazine, the winding hub has to be cleared of the cover tape.
A considerable length of the end of the cover tape has to be separated from the end of the carrier tape in order to bring the cover tape end to a cover tape handling means. Thus,interacting locking means in a component mounting machine, guiding means for guiding a carrier tape, and carrier tape retaining means for retaining the position of the carrier tape relative the tape guide.
By providing a tape guide with the ability to be loaded with a carrier tape away from a component mounting machine and to be subsequently loaded into the component mounting machine, a facilitated loading of the carrier tape into the machine, a reduced downtime of the machine, and, thereby, an improved time efficiency of the entire manufacturing process is achieved. This is due to the fact that the time-consuming process of loading the carrier tape into a component mounting machine, as described above with reference to known art, is reduced to simply placing a component tape reel

into the tape holder of a component mounting machine, and mounting a tape guide into the machine. The rest of the loading process is performed beforehand and away from the component mounting machine. Thus, the downtime of the component mounting machine due to the loading of a carrier tape is limited to the actual time for placing a tape reel into the machine, and for loading a tape guide into the machine, which increases the time efficiency of the machine considerably.
The required features of the tape guide for enabling the loading of a carrier tape away from the machine and the subsequent loading of the tape guide, with the carrier tape, into the machine comprise locking means for ready and quick attachment and detachment of the tape guideinto and from the machine, guiding means for correctly guiding the carrier tape into the machine, and carrier tape retaining means for retaining the position of the carrier tape relative the tape guide.
The locking means is provided for ready, quick and accurate mounting of the tape guide into the component mounting machine. The locking means of the tape guide is arranged for interaction with corresponding locking means provided on the component mounting machine, thus providing both a correct positioning and a secure mounting of the tape guide. Preferably, the locking means is in the form of resiliently biased snap-in locking means, e.g. in the form of a latch and a recess provided on the tape guide interacting with axles provided on the component mounting machine, or in the

reducing the downtime of the mounting machine and positively effecting the efficiency of the entire manufacturing process.
By arranging the separating means such that it covers a compartment, from the separating and lifting of the lateral portion of the cover until said compartment reaches the picking position, the number of components wasted is even further reduced. This is due to the fact that the compartments containing the exposed components are covered by the separating means both when the tape guide with the carrier tape is mounted in the component mounting machine, and when the tape guide with the carrier tape is located away from the machine. This is accomplished by the feature of the carrier tape retaining means, as described above. The carrier tape retaining means is provided forretaining the carrier tape such that the carrier tape is not accidentally displaced relative the tape guide, i.e. such that the tape guide can not move along the length of the carrier tape when the carrier tape has been loaded into the tape guide and before attachment of the tape guide into, or after detachment of the tape guide from, the component mounting machine, i.e. when the tape guide with the carrier tape is located away from the component machine. Thereby, following loading of the carrier tape into the tape guide, the tape guide is prevented from being accidentally removed from, or accidentally moved along the length of, the carrier tape. This ensures that when loading the carrier tape into the tape guide, the desired position of the

the carrier tape. Preferably, the friction coupling comprises a flexible support spring, provided in the tape guide underneath the carrier tape, and a counter support. The carrier tape is inserted between the support spring and counter support and is thereby held in place by the friction power. When removing the carrier tape from the tape guide, the carrier tape can simply be pulled out from the tape guide.
Additionally, using a flexible support spring for holding the carrier tape in place, brings the further advantage of stabilising the carrier tape, i.e. vibrations of the carrier tape when feeding the tape towards the picking position is greatly reduced, which reduces the risk of components being dislocated within their compartments. Furthermore, by using a flexible support spring for retaining the carrieris mounted in the machine. According to said embodiment the carrier tape retaining means comprises a pivoted lever, preferably spring-loaded. The lever is at one end provided with a locking pin that, when in use, engages a hole of the carrier tape, thereby keeping the carrier tape at a position suitable for engagement by the feeding device. The lever is manually released during loading and unloading of the carrier tape into/from the tape guide, when the tape guide is located away from the component mounting machine, and is automatically released when loading the tape guide, with or without a component tape, into the component mounting machine. The automatic release of the lever is achieved by the other end of the lever, opposite the end provided with the locking

pin, being engaged by a part of the component mounting machine during the attachment of the tape guide into the machine.
As described above, the carrier tape retaining means ensures that the carrier tape is held in place relative the tape guide after removal from the component mounting machine, unless manually released. Thus, the tape guide may remain attached to the carrier tape between the unloading and reloading of the tape guide. Thereby, there will be no additional removal of the cover tape from the carrier tape when reloading a carrier tape into the machine, and, hence, there will be no waste of components due to reloading of a carrier tape that already has been partly used. This will reduce the overall costs for the manufacturing process.
According to anor mounted or attached to, the component mounting machine and forms an intermediate device between the tape guide, with the loaded carrier tape and tape reel, and the component mounting machine, and feeds the components to their respective picking position within the machine.
For the purposes of the interaction between the tape guide and the component mounting machine, as described in the previous paragraphs referring to the present invention, xe2x80x9ccomponent mounting machinexe2x80x9d can in these paragraphs be replaced by xe2x80x9ctape magazinexe2x80x9d.
Further details and aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout.

IMDB SynopsisBased on found footage, the story centres on four friends in their early 20s. Last year, on the night before Halloween, they decided to go on a self-made tour of famous Hollywood murders and celebrity haunted houses. The tour led them to a house known as 1666. They have been missing ever since.
So where to start with this ? The concept was intriguing. Four friends decide to make their own little tour of murder sites. In theory the idea is good, but the execution was not. Knock Knock 2 is poorly thought out with painfully bad scenes, for example when the group are together, they recite poorly written Wikipedia entries about the murders in a terribly monotonous tone, then later when they are driving, they repeat theThe Portland Timbers took a short break from their normal practice routine Monday to watch the solar eclipse.
The club bought eclipse glasses in advance of Monday's eclipse, so that the players could enjoy the event for a few minutes before jumping back onto the practice field.
Portland wasn't in the path of totality for Monday's eclipse, but the Rose City did have 99.2 percent obstruction at 10:19 a.m. The Timbers and Sporting Kansas City are the closest MLS teams to the direct route of Monday's eclipse.
Timbers coach Caleb Porter said last week that the club wouldn't alter it's regular practice schedule due to the eclipse, especially since the group is preparing for an important home match against the Colorado Rapids Wednesday.

drove the stolen truck to the side of the dealership, parked, and began searching for the telephone lines that Aaron had told him would disable the business' alarm system when cut. While Ben cut the phone lines, the Kunellis brothers remained in the stolen truck, and Aaron served as a lookout in Ben's van.
After Ben completed his task at the rear of the building, he returned to the truck, pulled back onto the street and backed up through the parking lot to a display window. He then walked to the back of the truck and picked up the sledge hammer. When the Kunellis brothers lifted the truck's rear sliding door, Ben smashed the display window.
The plan was to load up as many motorcycles as possible in a certainperiod of time, but Ben's delay in locating and cutting the phone lines limited the time available. Additionally, they had unforeseen difficulties loading the heavy motorcycles. After loading only three, Ben told the others it was time to go. As Ben drove the truck, the Kunellis brothers remained in the cargo area managing the motorcycles and holding the sliding rear door closed.
Shortly before the group left, Reuben Feuerborn had driven into the parking lot and noticed a cargo truck backed up to a building. After the truck left, Feuerborn's wife noticed the front window of the dealership had been smashed, so Feuerborn called 911. Feuerborn informed the police of the truck's description, location, and direction of travel, and began to drive in the same direction of the departed

Olathe police dispatch records indicate the Feuerborns first reported the crime at 10:58 p.m. Two minutes later, after the Feuerborns regained sight of the truck, they informed the police it was about to enter northbound I-35. At 11:04 p.m., Officer Allen called for assistance and reported he was following the truck northbound at 119th and I-35. Once Allen was joined by Lenexa Police Officer *465 Trevino at 11:07 p.m., he activated his emergency lights and attempted to stop the truck.
Ben testified he was unaware of any pursuers until Officer Allen activated his lights at about 97th Street. Ben then exited northbound I-35 at 87th Street and entered southbound 69 Highway, traveling against traffic to discourage pursuers. The truck then collided with a Toyota Camry occupied by Rick Sloanopined that while the planned crimes were theft and burglary, Kunellis risked the possibility of injuring or killing others when he committed these inherently dangerous felonies. Though he had no prior history of criminal adjudications, Kunellis had a history of fighting or disruptive behavior in school settings and at the juvenile detention facility, which indicated to her that he would be difficult to place and treat as a juvenile offender.
Whitney also testified Kunellis considered himself a leader, had experimented with marijuana, and had associated with others who were involved in criminal acts. Since he had received counseling, lived in a group home, and received other medical treatments, he had received the full range of services available in the past.

Based upon this view of the facts, we are convinced that a rational factfinder couldand Sanders' injuries. He claims the details elicited concerning the autopsy procedure and the victims' injuries were irrelevant, gruesome, and prejudicial to his case. He specifically claims comments by the doctor that there *477 was blood coming from both of Sanders' ears, that she suffered a fractured skull, and that the injury was confirmed when they removed her brain were improper. Kunellis finds Handler's description of Sloan's injuries particularly objectionable. In describing the effects of Sloan's broken pelvis, Handler indicated Sloan's penis and scrotum were discolored and swollen. He also indicated Sloan was uncomfortable due to his extensive injuries and that he probably knew he was dying slowly.
We disagree with Kunellis. A party must make a timely and specific objection to the admission of evidence at trial in

Revealed: The real-life muses Norman Rockwell used to create his iconic illustrations
These stunning images cast fresh light on the iconic illustrations of Norman Rockwell, revealing for the first time the study photographs the famed artist used as references for his work.
Staged by the artist, and often featuring him too, his compositions were put together in painstaking detail in his studio before being committed to canvas.
He would piece together his desired scene using carefully selected props and locations, then instruct a cameraman when to shoot, much as a film director would a cinematographer.
A group of girls chat over a diner counter with a waiter while a shy-looking boy watches on
Three photographs were pieced together by Rockwell to create the desired composition
Working largely with friends and family rather than professionalmodels, Rockwell captured everyday faces in a raw and natural capacity.
From eye-line to body language, every element was deliberately staged and tells a story.
Rockwell would then work from the prints to create his celebrated paintings, achieving a flesh-and-blood realism through the use of photography, snapping more than 20,000 images over four decades.
Now, almost 34 years after his death, his eye for detail is being showcased in a new exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts.

'Photography has been a benevolent tool for artists from Thomas Eakins and Edgar Degas to David Hockney,' said Curator Ron Schick.
'But the thousands of photographs Norman Rockwell created as studies for his iconic images are a case apart.'
The photos are works of art themselves and have been paired with their corresponding illustrations in Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera, providing a frame-by-frame view of Rockwell's image development.
From a couple in a marriage counselor's waiting room, to a father and son ordering at a diner, Rockwell's images bear remarkable likeness to the photographs.

In some Rockwell selected just part of the photograph to replicate, such as one of a young girl peering over a train seat.
Rockwell took the girl's image and paired it with one of lover's on a train.
In others he would take several photographs and piece them together to form his desired composition.

remanded.
JUSTICE MILLER delivered the opinion of the court:
The petitioners, Garson Wernick, executor of the estate of E. Davis Wernick and a son of the decedent, and Samuel S. Wernick, a beneficiary under the decedent's will and a son of the decedent, initiated proceedings in the circuit court of Cook County, probate division, against the respondent, Mitchell Macks. Petitioners sought to recover title to, or fair and adequate consideration for, the decedent's interest in two parcels of real property that the decedent had jointly owned with Macks in a land trust. After a lengthy period of pretrial discovery and hearings, including an earlier appeal to the appellate court, trial commenced. At the conclusion of the evidence, the circuit judge found that Macks had breached his fiduciary duty to theMacks and Dr. Wernick began investing in real estate together. By the time of the doctor's death in July 1977, the two men had acquired a total of six properties, most of which produced rental income, and all located in Chicago. The properties were held in several land trusts with Macks and his wife jointly holding a 50% beneficial interest and Dr. Wernick and his wife jointly holding the remaining 50% interest. Dr. Wernick and Macks contributed equal amounts to the purchase prices of the properties, and they shared equally in any profits or losses resulting from their investments. Although the investments were joint, the two men never entered into a written partnership agreement. They did, however, file partnership returns for the investment properties.
Each man performed specific duties

with respect to the properties. Dr. Wernick was responsible for the management of the properties, which included keeping the books, collecting the rent, and arranging for preparation of the partnership income tax returns. Macks, in turn, handled all legal matters pertaining to the properties, prepared leases and closing statements, and appeared in court, when necessary, on behalf of the owners. In addition, Macks investigated new properties as potential investments. When acquisition of a new property was approved *68 by both men, Macks would negotiate the purchase and perform all the necessary legal work. During the execution of his legal duties, Macks had occasion to sign various documents on behalf of the doctor. Macks also represented the doctor in some personal legal matters, including the purchase of his firstresidence and the preparation of several wills.
Late in 1976, Dr. Wernick was diagnosed as having terminal brain and lung cancer. Mrs. Wernick had died several years earlier, and the doctor met with Macks to discuss the disposition of the six parcels of property jointly held in trust. Because Macks did not want to continue an informal partnership with the doctor's son Garson, Macks agreed to a liquidation of the joint holdings. Shortly thereafter, two of the six properties, located on Clark Street and on Lawrence Avenue in Chicago, were sold to third parties.
In November 1976, it was agreed that Macks would purchase Dr. Wernick's interests in two of the four remaining jointly owned properties. These two properties, located on North Avenue and on Bryn Mawr Avenue in Chicago,

Wernick at a price of $350,000 to $500,000. An appraisal conducted following the death of Dr. Wernick's wife had valued the property at $325,000. In September 1977, two months after Dr. Wernick's death, the Cedar Street property was appraised for Federal estate tax purposes, and it was valued at $405,000.
Macks' allegation that Dr. Wernick, shortly before his death, had assigned to Macks his beneficial interest in the trust holding title to the Cedar Street property was the underlying cause of this litigation. Believing that Dr. Wernick still had an interest in the Cedar Street property at the time of his death, and unaware that Macks would claim that he had purchased the doctor's interest in the property before Dr. Wernick's death, an attorney for the executor of thedoctor's estate contacted Macks in April 1979 to request an accounting on the property. Macks promptly responded that he had purchased all the doctor's right, title, and interest in the Cedar Street property many months before the doctor died.
On December 14, 1979, the petitioners filed a petition for a citation to discover assets, alleging that Macks was *70 in possession of property belonging to the doctor's estate. On March 25, 1980, Macks filed an answer to the petition in which he denied being in possession of any property belonging to the estate. The petitioners then filed a request for the production of documents, seeking, among other things, documents evidencing the alleged transfer of the Cedar Street property.
On May 21, 1980, Macks responded to the discovery request. Macks stated

to compensate the estate for the property. According to the amended citation, at the time of Dr. Wernick's death the Cedar Street property was worth $405,000 and the Wabash Avenue property was worth $30,000. Macks again denied a duty to transfer, relying on the alleged assignment. In his answer to the amended citation, Macks asserted that he had issued a $90,000 promissory note to the doctor as consideration for the July 7, 1977, assignment of the doctor's beneficial interest in the properties held in trust number 14599. According to Macks, the interest assigned included title to the Wabash Avenue property as well as the Cedar Street property. This was the first time that Macks claimed that he had also purchased the Wabash Avenue property; earlier, in discovery depositionstrial commenced on December 10, 1984. The petitioners presented evidence challenging the existence of the alleged assignment and questioning the validity of the documents presented by Macks. The petitioners also adduced evidence to establish the value of the Cedar *74 Street property at the time of the doctor's death. At trial, Macks testified that the controverted assignment took place on July 7, 1977, either at Dr. Wernick's home or at his office. Macks, contrary to his previous deposition testimony, claimed that the assignment covered both the Cedar Street and Wabash Avenue properties. Macks explained that although the discussion prior to the transaction focused only on the Cedar Street property, he had assumed that the Wabash Avenue property was also included. Macks said that he had made that assumption

his voice, or rather, in front of, stood Fin, singing his heart out to desperately understand Jamie. She scared him.
Sometimes her words hurt him, dug claws into his spine and pulled. He knew something was terribly wrong, but he never questioned the meaning behind them, just the emotion. That was enough.
He figured if he sang for her, if he let out the pain she was feeling for her, then maybe he might understand, and maybe he might help.
Jamie was always in the audience or backstage. She watched his heart go out, lights, eyes, on his skin.
She listened to him, to herself. She loved his voice.
She loved it as if it were her own, as if he were her own, she loved him.
The last Friday they met in thepark, Fin hugged Jamie, in tears. He hadn't any guitar case on his back, and Jamie held her journal tight in between them.
But it doesn't matter what was said, what happened. In the end their lives were as insignificant as any other.
Just as yours is, just as mine.

Emily Marxson watched her father pack his business suitcase much fuller than usual from the dim hallway, hugging the door-frame to his bedroom. Don't go, she begged silently. Please don't go.

until the phone rang.
Such a noise one was accustomed to in this house, as the phone rang nearly every minute of weekdays. Her father would spend hours on the house phone, the business phone, his cell phone. It was almost hard to recognize him without it plastered to his ear.
For this reason, Emily had her own cell phone, one she loathed just as much as her own family. Her own blood meant nothing.
Her younger brother, clean flesh, laundry-smelling, car-noise of a child. He loved green shirts, and racing. Emily couldn't look him in the eyes.
Her mother, a woman who lived to cook and work, being the perfect balance of mother and job-hoe, Emily spoke to with clipped words and no warmth.
Even her friends, her encounters, her teachers... Emilycouldn't stand any of them. But she must. She did, because the city was based off of who you knew, and what you did.
Emily was the perfect teenager.
She got A's, and nothing less. She played sports every day and ate the right foods. She went to the right parties, drank the right drinks, and knew the right people.
But inside, Emily was a monster who hung around in her little brother's closet, coming out at night with sharp teeth and claws. At night, Emily watched her mother from the backyard, the window opened, but the lights always off.
While her father was away, Emily tormented her family from the comfort of her deserted house.
Having killed herself at the age of fourteen, everyone in her family had their methods of coping.

For example, when a non-standardized record, such as, a so-called phono-sheet, is employed, such record may have sound recorded thereon radially inward of the lead-out groove of a standard record, with the result that the existing phonograph record player, even when in its manual mode of operation, would automatically effect the return movement of the tone arm to its rest position prior to the playing of the entire record.
Further, although some existing phonograph record players are provided with a repeat mechanism which may be actuated to automatically effect the repeated playing of a single record, such repeat mechanisms are relatively complex, difficult to assemble and prone to malfunction, andin order to reduce travel times and increase efficiency.

Neighborhood residents wanted the CTA to build a replacement station at Kostner Avenue.
In response to the neighborhood pressure, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance requiring the CTA and the Chicago Department of Public Works to build a station at Kostner. However, the CTA did not build the station, claiming that ridership at the station would never be high and travel times on the Congress Line would increase.

Conditions have since worsened in some areas as with the evacuation of the O'Reilly's Rainforest retreat and the Lamington National Park late yesterday afternoon.
The fires have also put pressure on farmers in the area who are unlikely to see meaningful rain until the end of the year. For many this will mean selling livestock into an already disappointing market.
Some residents have able to return home in Binna Burra and Beechmont but were warned to remain vigilant as conditions remains volatile.Last updated on .From the section Europa League
Alfredo Morelos' header was his 10th goal of the season
A dramatic stoppage-time Alfredo Morelos goal edged Rangers past Legia Warsaw and into the group stages of the Europa League on a nerve-shredding night at Ibrox.
Steven Gerrard's side endured a frustrating evening against their obdurate Polish visitors, having drawn the first leg 0-0 in Warsaw last week.
However, in a game of few clear chances, Morelos headed in Jordan Jones' cross to seal Rangers' place in the group stage alongside Celtic for the second consecutive season.
The draw will take place at 12:00 BST on Friday.
Rangers toiled for much of the game inside a febrile Ibrox, a section of which was closed after the club were charged by Uefa for sectarian singing by fans

injured after colliding with Nikola Katic.
The Croatian defender was eventually forced to come off, but not before Morelos misjudged another clear header in the 65th minute, following a perfectly weighted cross from James Tavernier.
The game was temporarily halted during the second half after smoke from flares set off by the raucous Legia fans clouded the pitch. And, against the backdrop of an increasingly agitated home crowd and an increasingly rambunctious away section, Morelos continued to hunt for the all-important goal.
With 20 minutes to play, the Colombian curled a deflected shot just wide, then a few minutes later he met a Tavernier cross with an audacious volley straight at the goalkeeper. Chances kept appearing, but the Rangers forward continued to miss the target.

Mrs. Garrett began investigating psychic matters. Despite all
this unhappiness and tragedy, she was obviously being prepared for her major
role in life: that of a sensitive. One day, during a table rapping session,
she became drowsy and started falling asleep. When she awakened, she
discovered that dead relatives of others in the room had communicated
through her. In spite of her husband's warnings never to attend such
meetings again, she sought the advice of one Mr. Huhnli who took it upon
himself to guide Eileen in her understanding of what was happening to her.
At one such meeting, she was entranced by an Arab soldier called Uvani who
expressed his interest in helping prove survival. Mrs. Garrett's mediumship
had finally come to the surface, but fear, ill health, and the break-up of
her marriage delayed its development. Despitethis delay, she eventually
came to meet J. Hewat McKenzie, founder of the British College of Psychic
Science. It was under his careful guidance, at the College, that her
mediumship blossomed. Mr. McKenzie and his wife, Barbara, were keenly aware
of the need for mediumship to expand well beyond that of messages from the
Spirits. They recognized that mediumship could provide a tool whereby the
investigator could delve into the various dimensions and levels of
perception and consciousness. Mr. McKenzie was probably the most powerful
influence upon Eileen Garrett, as well as her attitudes concerning the
process of communication. She continued studying and developing her
mediumship at the College until Hewat McKenzie's death in 1929. Marriage was
once again in the offing, and, once again, after a premonition, it ended in
tragedy. Both she and her fiancé became ill on

the same day. He died of
pneumonia, and she barely survived a mastoid operation. Confused about what
to do, convinced that her mediumship resulted from nothing more than a split
personality, and quite fed up with the message game, she decided to come to
the United States and seek help from the scientific community. In the United
States, she was able to make some astounding connections with many noted
scientists and parapsychologists. She subjected herself to intense
physiological and psychological experimentation, hoping that such testing
might shed some light upon the processes of mediumship and psychism. She
traveled to and from the States, searching, studying, and experimenting.
When the Second World War broke out in Europe, she was in France working
with children and refugees. She remained there until the end of 1940, when
in a 'wholly spontaneous and ofexternal origin' flash she knew she should
leave and seek other work. Quite miraculously, she arrived at Lisbon and
found passage on a refugee boat to New York. Her life now took a definitive
course. Within a few months of her arrival in New York, she started
Tomorrow, a monthly magazine of literary and public affairs. She also
started the publishing firm, Creative Age Press. Eileen Garrett's greatest
achievement was the founding of the Parapsychology Foundation, in 1951. Her
honesty and acumen for business affairs helped make this one of today's most
respected foundations of its type. Over the years, the Parapsychology
Foundation has published several fine journals, newsletters, and reports,
many under the presidency of Mrs. Garrett herself. In the autumn of 1952,
Tomorrow was re-instituted as a quarterly journal for the study of psychic
science. In January, 1955,

the Foundation began publishing its bimonthly
newsletter, followed, in 1958, by a series of Parapsychological Monographs,
and, in 1959, by the very prestigious International Journal of
Parapsychology. In March, 1970, the Foundation began publishing the
Parapsychology Review, a bimonthly review of articles, news, and books.
Unfortunately, the Parapsychology Review suspended publication a few years
ago. The Parapsychology Foundation has hosted twenty-eight Annual
International Conferences on parapsychology and allied sciences. Eileen
Garrett had four trance communicators. Uvani, a fourteenth century Arab
soldier, was the control of the mediumship. Abdul Latif, a seventeenth
century Persian physician, dealt primarily with healing. Speaking very
seldom and on more philosophic and spiritual matters, were Tahotah and
Ramah. These two claimed no earthy incarnations. One of Eileen Garrett's
more memorable communications, as a medium, was the case of the R101.
Here
is what Nandor Fodor says about this inhis Encyclopedia of Psychic Science:
'In a sitting at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research on October 7,
1930, two days after the explosion of the R101, Flight Lieutenant H. C.
Irwin, Captain of the airship, suddenly entranced Mrs. Garrett, announced
his presence and gave the listeners a highly technical account of how the
airship crashed. The narrative was taken down in shorthand and a copy was
submitted to the Air Ministry. According to the opinion of experts, a number
of observations in the message tallied in every detail with what was

practical problem: whether publication of the photos could lead to violence against U.S. troops.
PANETTA: Neither do I want these images to bring further injury to our people or to our relationship with the Afghan people.
BOWMAN: Such photographs violate military regulations, but are not uncommon in wartime. American soldiers and Marines fighting during World War II - especially in the Pacific - took pictures of enemy dead or body parts. But unlike World War II, Afghanistan is a counterinsurgency. The prize is not an enemy's capital or army, says Nagl, but winning over the people.
LIEUTENANT COLONEL JOHN NAGL: In a counterinsurgency campaign, you're ultimately engaged in a struggle with the insurgents for the support of the population. You're fighting in support of the government of the home nation.
BOWMAN: Thesekinds of incidents have undermined the U.S. mission before. When American soldiers burned Qurans earlier this year, the Pentagon said it was a mistake. Still, the burnings led to violent protests and the deaths of six U.S. soldiers and a number of Afghan civilians. Nagl also says the latest problems with U.S. troops could also affect public opinion at home.
NAGL: The support of the American people for this war is going to continue to be chipped away by this relentless drip of indications of American soldiers, American Marines not behaving the way we expect them to under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.
BOWMAN: Investigations into the earlier incidents, the Quran burning, the videos of Marines urinating on corpses, have been completed, officials say. So far, no one's been disciplined. Tom Bowman,

Author Robert Gonko commissioned cover art for his new novel. We first went through several very rough layout ideas.
The author selected a version with the gun and a Bible on the cover.
Next, I created the text in Adobe Illustrator and assembled some different ideas in color. The gun is a 9mm Beretta, specifically referenced and used in the book. I used a public domain image from Wikimedia for the gun. The sketch called for a Bible and the gun to be on the front cover, but the layout was awkward with both elements. I decided instead to make the entire cover reminiscent of a bible, and use the gun as a solitary element.
The author chose the black cover with gold and silver text effects.
A fewspacing, lighting and alignment corrections later, and we had the final version.

the client wanted it much larger. The second alien head was too large.
The third alien head was just right!

Police officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in Tallahassee on the morning of September 23, 2002, to investigate a report of a kidnaping and assault. Officer Mel Gaston encountered the alleged victim, Hector Ruiz, standing in the parking lot. Ruiz was nervous and he appeared to be upset. Officer Gaston asked Ruiz what had happened, and he said that a man had abducted him in his own car at gunpoint. Ruiz then pointed through his body to the defendant who was standing about twenty-five yards behind him in the parking lot.
A short time later, Ruiz told Officer Frank Arias that the gun used during the abduction was in his car. The officers searched the car and found a

loaded .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver under the front passenger seat. Officer Arias advised the defendant of his rights and questioned him about the revolver. According to officer Arias, the defendant admitted that the revolver was his. He explained that he hid the gun in Ruiz's car when he saw the police officers.
Based on these facts, the state charged the defendant with armed kidnaping, assault with a weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The defendant entered a plea of not guilty to these charges and sought discovery from the state. Hector Ruiz appeared for a discovery deposition and he was questioned by defense counsel. By the time of the trial, however, Ruiz was unavailable as a witness. The state was unable to servethe officers were allowed to give an edited version of the events. The jurors *696 were not told about the alleged abduction, but they did hear the statement Ruiz made to Gaston identifying the defendant as the person who had the revolver.
The defendant testified in his own defense and denied that he had possessed the firearm. He also repudiated the admission attributed to him by Officer Arias. The defendant told the jury that he believed he had been set up by Ruiz and his employer, Mario Morqucho. The day before he was accused of this offense, the defendant reported to law enforcement officers that he had been the victim of a sexual battery perpetrated by Morqucho. He said that he was also at odds with Ruiz. As he

After the first day of the Swiss group stage in Atlanta has come to an end, half of the 16 attending teams have recorded a win and are in the 1-0 pool, while the other half is in the defeated, 0-1 pool. Per standard Swiss rules, the team matchups have been drawn between teams with the same record.
After losing from GODSENT, Astralis will play against OpTic
The draw has resulted in the the following matches:
Stay tuned to HLTV.org for more news, updates and interviews from Atlanta and be sure to tune in to the action tomorrow from 16:00 .Venezuelan voters have rejected a sweeping constitutional reform project launched by President Hugo Chavez. In Caracas, VOA's Brian Wagner reports opposition leaders see the vote as a major blow to the president's efforts to impose socialist changes.
Election tallies continued past midnight, when officials finally released a count indicating a narrow victory for opponents of the constitutional reform. It was the first election defeat for President Chavez, who helped write the nation's constitution shortly after taking office in 1999.
In a nationwide address, Mr. Chavez congratulated his adversaries for their victory and said there is a long battle ahead. The president said the reform plan is not dead yet, suggesting he may try again to turn the proposals into law.

integrating the instrument panel into the automobile and sometimes referred to as trim.
Previous instrument panel assemblies include the housing affixed to the automobile and the bezel panel rigidly affixed to the housing. The cover panel is then brought over and around the joined housing and bezel panel and itself affixed to the automobile, such as at to a frame, cowl or cross-beam. Such construction, however, can result in gaps between the bezel panel and the cover panel creating rattling as the panel and cover move independently of one another due to standard automobile vibrations. Such gaps may perhaps even obscure the view of the periphery of the bezel panel. Such inferior construction can cause noise and is not visually pleasing to the passengers.
As such, it is an objectembodiment of the invention, the housing and the cover panel are joined via the bezel panel. The bezel panel has bilateral fastening means, which align with the housing and the cover panel to allow for attachment of all three components together.
Another embodiment of the invention allows for lateral movement among the three components. This allows for movement of the components while retaining alignment of the instrument panel as a whole.
The invention may also be embodied in a method for assembling an automobile instrument panel. The method includes the steps of providing a housing and attaching a cover panel to the housing via a bezel panel having bilateral fastening means.

Such retaining rings are expensive due to the machining and close tolerances required in their manufactured for receiving and holding a bearing. Likewise, after securing the retaining ring to the cup-shaped housing end wall, the bearing or bearings then are snap fitted into the grooves of the retaining ring, again requiring a separate manufacturing procedure, increasing the final cost.

That led to a quick Patrick Murray field goal, and the Bucs were able to mount one sustained drive in the second quarter, ending in Doug Martin's seven-yard touchdown run. Cincy's offense wasn't much better, and it waited until nearly halftime to score, with Dalton running it in himself for a five-yard score. The Bengals then took the lead for good in the third quarter on Dalton's 13-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green. The Bucs made it a one point game just 48 seconds into the final period on another field goal but the offense had three more tries and never again got inside the Cincinnati 40. A 12-men-on-offense penalty negated a Louis Murphy catch at the Bengals' 20 and a Josh McCown pass to Mike Evans onfourth-and-20 only got 13 yards.
2. Cincinnati 56, Tampa Bay 23, Oct. 29, 1989
This is the fourth-highest scoring game in Bengals history, though they also had a 61-7 win over the Houston Oilers later in that same '89 season. As noted above, Boomer Esiason threw five touchdown passes in this game, though he did it in less than 200 yards through the air. The Bengals actually had six scoring passes because backup Erik Wilhelm also got to play near the end, completing five of six passes for 98 yards, including a 46-yard touchdown toss to Tim McGee. McGee and Pro Bowl tight end Rodney Holman each scored twice in the game. Oh, and the Bengals also ran for 188 yards. And forced four turnovers. And scored 35 second-half points.

Ruby trailed the two men in suits, looking around at the crowded venue. The dance floor was illuminated in a grid-like pattern of lights that shimmered against the sweaty and glittering skin of the club's patrons. Hundreds of bodies pressed tight as women in tight, flashy clothes rubbed themselves against well dressed men with hair that was once slicked back, but now fell in greased, random swathes of curls.
Around the club, cylindrical tubes poked out against walls and between seats, emitting a sickly sweet fragrance like wilting roses. Beneath that, Ruby could still detect the faint odour of alcohol permeating everything. A pang shot through her at the burning smell, reminding her of Yang.
It sickened her that this is what made her think of her sister now.
Gone werethe memories of sunny days and starry nights atop their house in Patch. Now it was the gut wrenching feeling that she may never see her sister again. All she could think of was the pale, milky-skinned girl held in Blake's arms as she rushed from the club to the ambulance, covered in her own puke and spittle.
It bothered Ruby. Summer had always said…
Ruby clenched her eyes shut as she tried to remember her mother. In the weeks since her return, those were still memories that eluded her. She had occasional glimpses of a brilliant smile and silver eyes, half covered by a short bang that slid across a face. And the cloak… Always the cloak.
But she could never quite lay a finger on any particulars. Memories would

begin, but trail off as if there were no true substance to them. As if her mind was searching in an area it knew there should be something, but there was just a hole now.
Shaking her head, Ruby moved forward, gliding through the shadows. A few heads turned to follow her, sometimes eyes would slide up and down her figure. Those gazes made Ruby a little uncomfortable, but she allowed them. Weiss probably would have stared them down until they stopped, and Yang probably would have toyed with them-
Or she would have used to.
The two men, who could have been brothers they were so similarly dressed and styled, led her to a back corner. There was a wide, glass staircase there that led up to a stylized lounge.There was a private bar to one side and large, red, plushy cushions upon which were sat an entourage of men wearing red shirts and black pants and girls wearing skimpy dresses, half of which were sliding off of shoulders. They didn't seem to mind, and many were in fact squeezing their chests together, encouraging the spaghetti straps to fall off. A few men encouraged the movements, fingers trailing down skin that rose in goosebumps at their touch and pulling clothing with them. Ruby curled her nose.
In the middle, obviously the centre of attention, was a large burly man wearing a tailored white shirt with a black vest and red tie. He had grizzly sideburns that, coupled with his large stature, made him look somewhat like a bear.

In Japan, where a battery on an All Nippon Airlines 787 overheated and began smoking on Jan. 16, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing, the Transport Ministry released a report Wednesday saying it found that the battery in question had been improperly wired.
The Associated Press, citing the Transport Ministry report, said the ANA 787's auxiliary power unit was incorrectly connected to the main battery that overheated. The incident prompted the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and authorities in other countries to ground 787s worldwide.
According to the AP, on the ANA flight, the Japanese Transport Ministry noted:
Flickering of the plane's tail and wing lights after it landed and the fact the main battery was switched off led the investigators to conclude there was an abnormal current traveling fromerror sufficient to cause a reversal.
Several photographs of portions of the Chrysler automobile, in which the appellant and two main state's witnesses were riding, were introduced into evidence. These photographs did tend to shed light on the issues in the case. One of the photographs showed the watch in the trunk. The main ground of objection by appellant was that it was not shown that the car was in the same condition when the photographs were made as on the night of the occurrence of the rape. These objections were not good under the testimony of the state offered preliminary to the admission of that photograph.
There was testimony offered by the state that the car was in the same condition as when found on Saturday night, the time

from the control panel to the pump tank. Typically, several electrical lines must extend from the control panel to the pump tank. The installation of the pump tank greatly complicates the ability to install the wastewater treatment system. Additionally, further electrical knowledge is required so as to effectively connect the various leads of the electrical lines to the pump tank with the connectors from the control panel.
In the past, it has been difficult to consider the placement of an air pump and a control panel on the top of the treatment tank. Typically, the treatment tank will have a curved top surface which extends over the cylindrical tank. A very large access opening is placed centrally of the top of the tank. This access opening allows access tothe interior of the tank. Conventionally, the access opening will open so as to allow a person to inspect the interior of the clarifier compartment. However, the access opening generally makes it difficult to inspect the interior of the aeration compartment. There is very little space on the top of the tank beyond the area of the access opening. As such, there is insufficient space on the top of the tank to accommodate an arrangement of the air pump and the control panel.
One technique for the placement of the aerator assemblies within such extended aeration systems has been to place a first aerator on one side of the clarifier compartment and a second aerator on the opposite side of the clarifier compartment. Under circumstances where the access opening

Jenkins was often an easy one to point fingers at in 2011. He dropped six interceptions - two less than Florida caught
all season - during the year. That was the easy but incomplete finger to point. For the most part, Jenkins was a solid weakside linebacker for the Gators who at times lacked the
big-play feel that defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said he wants to see further develop in his junior season. Jenkins and senior Jonathan Bostic will be looked at as dual leaders
in a linebacker corps that will certainly feature a couple of less experienced players rotating in.
4. Matt Elam, Jr., S: Noticing a trend here? This season will be all
about defense for the Gators, and with that said, it's impossible to leave out Florida's best defensive player.Elam led the Gators in tackles for loss, pass breakups and forced
fumbles in 2011. He was the most dominant player in Florida's secondary and it wasn't very close. This season he evolves into a full-blown pro prospect in what will almost
certainly be his last season at Florida. The primary difference is this season he has some more experience around him to narrow his job title.
5. Andre Debose, Jr., WR: The fact that Debose makes the top list
here is a sign that Florida's offense has a long way to go. The Percy Harvin comparisons seem very far away for a guy who has 26 catches for four touchdowns in his UF career. But that
doesn't change the fact that it should be in Debose's book of expectations to be the

a player who
appeared to be turning a corner opened a giant opportunity for McCray, a player who has started five games in four years at Florida. Assuming the Gators can find another answer at strongside
linebacker - which shouldn't be too hard - McCray will get a swing at Powell's Buck position until he returns at some point most likely in October or November. McCray
showed flashes in 2011, recording 1.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss. Health will be a concern for him as well. He missed four games last season because of injury.
2. Jordan Reed, Jr., TE: Florida moves into year two of Reed playing
solely tight end. The results last season were a mixed bag. He had 28 catches but 17 were for a first down. His skillswill need to be ironed out a bit in 2012, especially with the
unnecessary jumps he has become infamous for when trying to catch normal passes. Blocking is another area where he needs to improve. Reed's progress was necessary when recent transfer
A.C. Leonard was still on the roster. Now with the other options behind him either young or unproven or both, Reed's progress is crucial to the success of the Gators and
Pease's offense.
3. James Wilson, R-Sr., OG: The sixth-year senior has sat and
watched as the players he grew up around came and went on to the National Football League. He has been sidelined by one injury after another after coming to Florida as a highly-regarded,
five-star prospect out of high school. The potential has always been there, but Wilson got

to show a little more of what he was made of when he played in 12 games during the 2011 season. He
made it through his first healthy spring earlier this year and will be slated as the starting left guard to open fall camp. He says he feels better than he ever has at Florida, and
there's no reason not to believe him.
4. Mack Brown, So., RB: It has only been a couple years since Brown
was the big-time, four-star running back the Gators stole out of Bulldogs country. Now he's a redshirt sophomore who has 16 carries in his time at Florida. Brown has struggled to grasp
the entire concept of being a college running back and his one-dimensional play has led to him largely being held off the field.Gillislee might be the feature back this season, but Florida
is in need of depth while it waits on recruits to arrive and develop. Brown will get as good of a shot as anyone to supplement Gillislee in the backfield and get reps as the No. 2 back.
5. Josh Evans, Sr., S: Perhaps one of the most frustrating players
to watch on the Florida roster. When he is on, he's very good, however, when he's not, watch out, plays get made against him. In his eight starts last season, Evans came on and
created some nice momentum for his UF career heading into his senior season. He had 11 tackles against South Carolina before recording five tackles, a sack and a recovered fumble against Ohio
State in the Gator Bowl. Evans provides

him. Loucheiz Purifoy and Jaylen Watkins seem like the two best options
and both had successful springs in their own way. Junior Cody Riggs will also try to factor into the competition. And then there's often injured Jeremy Brown and the true freshman Poole.
The winner is … Everything about Purifoy seems to emulate the kind of cornerback Muschamp has favored during his time as a defensive coach. He has the physical presence at
the line, the long frame and plenty of on-field intensity to spare. He is the most technically sound of the three options and should win the position unless Watkins really takes his game to
another level.
3. Strongside linebacker: Bostic and Jenkins are penciled in as starters at linebacker. The third spot is where things get interesting. Muschamp needsconsistency out of someone at
Sam linebacker, so he can feel comfortable playing McCray solely at Buck. The name's he is willing to mention right now are Darrin Kitchens, Neiron Ball and
Michael Taylor. The name he's holding off on is Morrison.
The winner is … Don't let Muschamp fool you. Morrison is the best option the Gators have for this spot right now. He tends to avoid namedropping freshmen too much
this time of year, and it leads him to running off other names. Kitchens had a lackluster spring, and while everyone loves the potential of Ball, it feels like a stretch for him to return
from his health issues this soon in a consistent role. Taylor easily provides the greatest challenge and came on strong toward the end of 2011, but

of the facts is necessary. Holmes was in the habit of allowing his friends to draw cheques upon their deposit accounts, when he and they knew them to be insufficient. When the cheques were presented through the clearing house, or were cashed over the counter, Holmes placed them in a drawer in his office, and apparently covered the charges by false entries upon the books. He favored eighty depositors of the bank in this way Matot among them, 123 of whose cheques he had honored between October 1942 and February, 1943. All these Matot had drawn when his deposit was not large enough to meet them the total overdraft being over $4,000. He had been a director of the bank between 1915 and 1929, his secretaryhad often told him that his account was overdrawn, and he himself acknowledged that he knew it was. He also owed the bank $6,000 upon notes, the limit of his credit. Nevertheless, he was a man of substance in the Town of Poultney, where the bank was, engaged in a business of quarrying slate, which he had inherited from his father. There was no reason to suppose that he could not have amply responded to all his indebtedness to the bank.
After Holmes's defalcations were discovered in February of 1943, the bank's directors called Matot before them and asked him to make good the overdrafts. He said that he would make arrangements to do so and also to pay his notes. His testimony to this interview the judge admitted;

USC product, who is a nice matchup option.
Sleeper alert - Rex Grossman vs. Giants: Don't laugh, Grossman has some starting appeal this week. In three starts at the end of last year, he averaged 280 passing yards, threw for seven touchdowns and ripped the Giants in Week 17. The veteran is still a free agent in 90 percent of NFL.com leagues, so go get him if you need a quarterback.
Quarterbacks - sit 'em
Joe Flacco vs. Steelers: It's hard to start Flacco in fantasy land this week, as he'll face a Steelers defense that has held him in check for much of his NFL career. In six regular-season starts against them, Flacco has averaged just 214 yards with a total of six touchdown passes. Go with another option thisWith a road game against the Chargers on the slate, McNabb will be hard pressed to put up big numbers in his first start as a member of the Vikings. The Bolts ranked first in pass defense in 2010 and held opposing quarterbacks to an average of just 12.16 fantasy points. That's anything but a favorable matchup.
Cam Newton at Cardinals: Newton might appear to have a nice matchup on paper, but the Cardinals actually allowed an average of just 13.74 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2010. The rookie will need a lot of time to mature before he warrants serious consideration as a fantasy starter, at least in standard-sized leagues.
Owners beware - Jay Cutler vs. Falcons: Cutler is coming off a mediocre second season in Chicago,

points to runners in 2010.
Marshawn Lynch at 49ers: Outside of his amazing playoff run against the Saints, Lynch didn't have a memorable 2010 season on the field or in fantasy football circles. In fact, he was barely a flex starter in most leagues. With a questionable offensive line and the Niners on the docket, Lynch should be benched if possible.
Owners beware - Ray Rice vs. Steelers: It's almost impossible to reserve Rice, who was a top-five pick in most drafts. Just keep in mind that he was absolutely dreadful against the Steelers in 2010. In his two starts, he averaged a terrible 26 rushing yards. Rice also rushed for just 32 yards against them in the postseason.
Wide receivers - start 'em
Santonio Holmes vs. Cowboys: As I mentioned earlier,the pass attack. He's no more than a shaky No. 3 option in most leagues, if he even plays.
Jeremy Maclin at Rams: A third-year wideout out of Missouri, Maclin has major upside in an Eagles offense that will throw the ball a ton. But will he have a slow start after missing training camp with an illness? I'd still start him as a No. 3 fantasy option with a stud like Michael Vick throwing him the football, but no more.
Austin Collie at Texans: A sleeper wideout in most fantasy formats, Collie's stock looked like it was on the rise earlier in the offseason. That was before we found out that Manning was going to be on the sidelines for at least one week. With Kerry Collins now at

The Wollongong City Council failed to take note of the cemetery records when the NSW Health Ministry offloaded general cemeteries in bulk to councils. It was not until about two years ago that Wollongong City Council officially rediscovered Garrawarra while it was working on a project to rezone environmentally sensitive land. Now, more than 60 years later, there's a push to rediscover the stories of those buried there. With just rough directions and a mark on a map to guide me, I head west from Helensburgh to discover the lost cemetery for myself. It is not accessible to the public and, at first glance, the bushland that has covered the graves is indistinguishable from other patches of trees. But then, as I step through the shadows, a lonesite at random. Of the 54 inscriptions still visible, no story is the same. Vincent Arena died on February 4, 1926, aged just 16, a decade after 17-year-old Ada Alice Campbell was buried on New Year's Eve, 1916. Frank Halladay lived to 58, before he was taken by tuberculosis on July 30, 1922, while Eileen Constance Grieves was 36 at the time of her death on May 18, 1936. A sad irony is reflected in the dedications: in loving memory; never forgotten; remembered always. Garrawarra Cemetery feels lonely. It's not unfathomable that you could get lost there and never be found. Indeed, that's what might have happened to the graves if a series of events hadn't brought it to the attention of the council.

is not accessible to the public and, at first glance, the bushland that has covered the graves is indistinguishable from other patches of trees.
But then, as I step through the shadows, a lone intact gravestone rises out of the dried-out branches and eucalyptus leaves lining the forest floor.
A few steps later, another headstone emerges, and the hairs on the back of my neck prickle as I realise I'm probably standing on graves.
Sixteen-year-old Vincent Arena died on February 4, 1926. He is pictured with his family.
On the ground ahead, faint mounds showing where rows and rows of plots would have been are barely visible under the thick ground cover.
In some sections, charred wooden stakes line up, neatly spaced a few steps apart. They are the crumbling remains of thetimber crosses that would have once marked some of the simpler graves.
Surprisingly, the ravages of time, falling branches and raging bushfires have spared some of the graves. There is no pattern to those that have survived, as headstones are dotted throughout the site at random. Of the 54 inscriptions still visible, no story is the same.

Marina Kuzina - EuroBasket Women 2015 Profile
Last season Kuzina made the most important progress in her career, sacrificing her individual priorities for the club's sake. The attitude that arguably affected her performances previously disappeared and turned the player into a bigger star with Nadezhda. Bright, unusual, explosive, sharp, sometimes even appearing a little angry and fearsome, the Moscow-born player has became one of the most versatile players around. She is not only a dominating physical presence in the paint, but is a real threat from the three-point line - as evidenced when she made five-of-six from the perimeter in the 2nd Qualification Round. With huge experience and a two-time Olympian, this will be the forward's sixth straight summer with the national team.also helps remove those smaller ones. After being chewed, make sure the gum a slightly dry and sticky and apply it to the area where you want to remove those hard to get needles. Tear off as you would the duct tape. Continue as needed.

Giants to become the 22nd pitcher in history to win 300 games.
When Wood and Prior struggled to say healthy, Maddux couldn't do enough to halt the Cubs' slide below .500; after a 79-83 finish in 2005, they fell to 66-96 and last in the NL Central in '06. On July 26, 2005 he became the 13th pitcher to reach 3,000 strikeouts, whiffing the Giants' Omar Vizquel. Just over a year later, he escaped Chicago via a deadline trade to the Dodgers, for whom he mustered a bit of the old magic by putting up a 3.30 ERA in 12 starts as the team won the NL West. He signed back-to-back one-year, $10 million deals with the Padres, but even pitching half his games in the expansive Petco Park,he was more or less a league-average pitcher. A trade back to Los Angeles in August 2008 didn't yield the same results as before, as he was cuffed for a 5.09 ERA in seven starts. He threw three scoreless innings in relief in the postseason, an unfamiliar role; in December, he announced his retirement at age 42.
In the end, the question isn't whether Maddux belongs in Cooperstown, it's where in the pantheon he belongs. On the traditional merits, his 355 wins trail only Warren Spahn's 363 among pitchers since World War II and ranks eighth all-time. His 740 starts ranks fourth all-time, his 3,371 strikeouts 10th, his 5,008 1/3 innings 13th. Among pitchers since World War II with at least 2,000 innings, his 132 ERA+ ranks seventh behind

medical morality. The modern popularity of the Hippocratic Oath has come about at a time when most historians of ancient medicine, following Ludwig Edelstein's arguments, no longer believe that it was written by the historical Hippocrates or that many of its precepts were widely followed by the average Greek doctor of the fifth century BCE. Instead, it has become a symbol, legitimating modern ideals by an appeal to ancient, perhaps eternal, values. What these values are thought to be, and what is understood as Hippocratic, often differs. Even Nazi medical murderers believed that they were continuing to follow the way of Hippocrates, and became indignant when their interpretations of the Hippocratic Oath were rejected. In such circumstances, the history of the survival of Hippocratic morality becomes a historyof medical ethics in itself.
The image of Hippocrates and the precepts of the Hippocratic Oath and related texts had an important influence on medical ethics in Europe and the Middle East from the ancient period onward. The relative insecurity of medicine within the social order partly accounts for the overt preoccupation with reputation, and likewise for the defensive and often polemical tone with which some Hippocratic writer's stake out the claims of their new, nonmagical medicine. Several versions of the Oath were attributed to Hippocrates in antiquity. The inclusion of numerous abortifacients in the doctor's pharmacological arsenal suggest that at least some Hippocratics also dispensed such drugs, as did numerous later Greek physicians. In other Hellenistic medical works, some of the emphases traced in the Hippocratic Corpus also

An immense bird preyed upon tiie red
men in all parts of the country. Their
homes were at no time safe from its
ravages. Often it would carry away
children playing beside the wigwams, or, like a bolt
of lightning, dart from the sky and strike a woman
or man bleeding and dying to the earth. Whole
fields of corn had been destroyed in a single night
by its ravages, and its coming was so swift and
terrible that the Indians hardly dared stir from the
shelter of their houses. A strong party of Cayugas
and Onondagas finally determined upon its death,
no matter at what cost to themselves. A young
warrior offered himself for the sacrifice. He was
provided with a quantity of raw-hide thongs, and
repaired to one of the open spaces, where it was
believed the dreaded monster would discover and
descendupon him.
The young brave was to bind
one of the thongs upon the bird's feet or upon some
portion of its body, if possible, before he killed
him, and then his companions, rushing from their
place of concealment, would try to slay the enemy
that had been snared with such difficulty. The
preparations were elaborately made, and the young
brave went forth on his dangerous mission.
Three days he sat, chanting his death-song and
awaiting the coming of his terrible fate. On the
morning of the fourth day the sky was suddenly
darkened and the watchers saw that the great bird
was slowly circling above the heroic young Cayuga.
He ceased his chanting, and, standing upright,
shouted defiance to the almost certain death that
awaited him.
With a scream that turned the hearts of the waiting Indians cold with terror, the bird dropped upon
its

victim like a panther on his prey. A short and
terrible struggle took place and then the concealed
warriors rushed forth to finish the work of their
brave young companion, who had succeeded in
throwing one of the thongs over the great mosquito's neck. They brought willing and ready
hands to the battle, and the arrows poured upon
the struggling mass like a storm of hail. After a
long encounter the bird was killed, and the young
Cayuga smiled in triumph as his last glance rested
upon the dead body of the monster.
Runners were at once dispatched to the villages
to inform the Indians of the victory, and soon vast
numbers of them came to look upon their longdreaded enemy that had been slain at such cost.
Its body was larger than that of the largest bear
they had ever seen,and the breadth of its outstretched wings was as great as the height of three
men. Its talons were as long as arrows, and its
monstrous beak was lined with sharp teeth. There
was much rejoicing over the great mosquito's
death, and for several days feasting and dancing
were held in honor of the bravery of those who had
rid the country of such a terrible scourge. Soon,
however, swarms of the poisonous little flies that
have been the pests of all nations since that time,
infested the woods, and the Indians discovered that
they came from the body of the dead bird. Too
late they realized that the body of the great mosquito should have been burned when it was first
slain, for fire is ever the destroyer of evil spirits.

American Crocodile
Crocodylus acutus
Florida's Specialty
The American crocodile is one of the largest crocodilians in the world, but also one of the shyest. In the U.S., they can only be found in brackish waters of South Florida.
About the Species
South Florida is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators exist together in the wild.
The crocodile can be distinguished from the alligator by having a longer, thinner snout, lighter color, and the fourth tooth on the lower jaw is exposed when the mouth is closed. American crocodiles prefer to live in brackish water, while alligators prefer freshwater. South Florida is the most northern part of the American crocodile's range. It can be found in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. This endangered species is threatened byhunting and habitat loss. While most of the countries in its range have laws protecting it, many lack adequate enforcement. Additionally, data on the number of American crocodiles is lacking in countries other than the United States.
Words From the Experts
Florida is actually the only place in the world where you can find both alligators and crocodiles naturally occurring in the wild. American crocodiles are highly seagoing, and can do so as they excrete salt from a gland located near their tongue.

Among the lands proceeded against and sought to be sold in this proceeding is a tract of 412.83 acres in fee, except the oil and the gas in and underlying it, located on Laurel Branch, in Town District, Raleigh County, formerly owned by the defendant Raleigh County Land Company, designated in the bill of complaint as certificate No. 1267, which was sold to the State in the year 1935 forthe nonpayment of taxes assessed against it for the year 1934 and is the subject of this litigation. The amount of the unpaid taxes, interest and fees, at the time of the institution of this suit, was $2,935.99.
This suit was matured for hearing by the usual procedure and on August 28, 1950, a decree of sale of the lands involved, including the tract of 412.83 acres formerly owned by the defendant Raleigh County Land Company, was entered in the case. Pursuant to the decree of sale, the tract of 412.83 acres was sold by the Deputy Commissioner of Forfeited and Delinquent Lands for Raleigh County on September 16, 1950, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash and at the sale the defendants Gus Fotos and Bertha

Fotos, herein referred to as the purchasers, purchased the tract for the sum of $2,050 which was paid to and is still retained by the sheriff of Raleigh County. On October 10, 1950, the deputy commissioner filed his report of the lands sold by him including the sale of the tract of 412.83 acres purchased by the Fotos; and the sale of that tract was not confirmed until the entry of the final decree on July 15, 1953.
Shortly after the sale of the tract of 412.83 acres on September 16, 1950, and some time later that day, the defendant G. C. Hedrick, herein referred to as the petitioner, *117 who was not impleaded as an original defendant, but who claims to be owner and possessor of the tractpetitioner and the purchasers who, after considering the testimony of numerous witnesses and certain exhibits introduced in evidence, filed his report on March 11, 1952.
The petitioner and the purchasers filed numerous exceptions to the report of the commissioner in chancery, and by decree entered November 15, 1952, upon motion of the purchasers, the Circuit Court of Raleigh County, a special judge acting in lieu of the regular judge who died before the entry of the decree, removed this case to the Circuit Court of Jackson County for final decision.
By final decree entered July 15, 1953, the Circuit Court of Jackson County denied the application of the deputy commissioner to dismiss the tract of 412.83 acres from this suit and dismissed the application; sustained the exceptions of the purchasers,

By deed dated December 9, 1938, recorded December 14, 1938, in the office of the clerk of the County Court of Raleigh County, Raleigh County Land Company conveyed and released all its right, title and interest in and to that tract and certain other lands to the State of West Virginia and waived its right to redeem any property affected by the deed which had been or would be sold for the *118 nonpayment of taxes. This deed was delivered to the Commissioner of Agriculture of West Virginia as secretary of the Public Land Corporation of this State and remained in his possession. That agency of the State was created by Chapter 54, Acts of the Legislature, 1933, Extraordinary Session, for the purpose of acquiring the title ofthe State in public lands to which the title is or may be absolutely vested in the State by any law governing the title to such lands; and the statute provides that the members of the corporation shall be the Governor, as chairman, the Secretary of Agriculture, as secretary, the Auditor, the Attorney General, and the Director of the engineering experiment station at West Virginia University.
On November 27, 1942, Clarence W. Meadows, then Judge of the Circuit Court of Raleigh County and a former Attorney General of this State, and as such a former member of the Public Land Corporation, purchased the tract of 412.83 acres at private sale.

after the purchase of the land, he rented a small house on the land to a tenant named Painter who occupied it for approximately six months to one year and that during the time that Painter occupied the house he cultivated a garden near it and then moved away; that the house was not rented after Painter ceased to occupy it and was subsequently torn down by unknown trespassers; that in 1943 he entered into a verbal contract with a man named Oren Miller, who resided in the neighborhood of the 412.83 acre tract, by which he and his son, Joe Miller, were given the right to use the entire tract of 412.83 acres to pasture cattle owned by each of them and to go upon the landof its boundaries and that this work was performed during a period of approximately six months; that the petitioner made frequent visits to the land to protect it and to keep in touch with existing conditions; that he altered and improved a road which led to or near the tract of 412.83 acres and in 1945 purchased an adjoining tract of land for use in connection with the development of the tract of 412.83 acres: and that by reason of the foregoing acts of the petitioner it was generally known by people in that neighborhood that he claimed to own the land or acted as the representative of its owner.
