some just conception of the efforts by which this result has been achieved Of course it is ment impossible in the limits of this small pamphlet to present all the facts concerning this rapidly advancing work of humanity The principles and articles of agreement are so sound and practical that no difficulty has been experienced by Prussian army authorities in the complete adoption and practice of them in the last two wars in which la the International Confei ence at Paris in 1S67 the American Association for Relief was represented by Delegates and in the Congress at Geneva for agreeing upon the basis of the International Treaty the U S Sanitary Commission was represented by a delegate But at the Wiirzburg and Berlin Conferences there were no delegatesfrom either of these instittitions a circum Btance much regretted but unavoidable

The Henry-Thompson House is a historic house at 302 SE Second Street in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building, with Italianate styling that includes trusswork in the front-facing gable, a scrollwork balustrade on the main porch, and scrolled brackets on a hood over a secondary entrance. Built in 1890, this is a good representative of late Italianate style brick homes that were built in significant numbers in Bentonville between 1870 and 1895.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

She stated that Sally was in the front of the house playing on a computer, and she and Golden were in a back bedroom of the house. Pork testified that Sally came into the bedroom to get Golden to go to the front of the house with her, and that Golden went back and forth between the two rooms.

The discussions come as government, business and community leaders have made an increased effort to stop the spread of the virus.

For hydraulic elevators, the hoisting height is in practice limited to a few floors. By contrast, elevators with rope suspension have been installed in buildings as high as several hundred meters, in which case rope elongation and oscillation cause problems. Because of the rope suspension arrangements, the number of elevators in a shaft is practically limited to one.
In addition to rope-suspended and hydraulic elevators, several solutions for the use of a linear motor in an elevator have been proposed. In this case the electric motor is completely located in the shaft space. Most linear elevator motors have been based on the induction motor principle, although other motor types, such as

Well, Mr. Armstrong had me call Robert's wife and ask her if he had a bill of sale for the car, and I talked to her and she said that he was supposed to receive it that day. So I called Grimes Motor Company and talked to a salesman down there, and they said the bill of sale was in the mail atthat time and that he would probably get it that day. Mr. Stucky said that he was going to go on and take the car, and Mr. Armstrong told him he didn't think he should, that Robert would be in any minute; that if he could talk to him about it he thought it could be straightened out. Mr. Stucky said he was going to take the car. And he called in, I believe, to his office and told them he had located the car they were searching for, and had been for some time, I believe. And he started out to get the car, and Mr. Armstrong told him again he didn't think he should take the car, that Robert would be in any minute and he

Now I'm not against the use of the latest 'participatory rural appraisal' techniques, 'logframes' and flipcharts. But in their ivory tower confidence, inevitably they would always speak to the same people, missing those with no voice such as the beggars out working the streets or the street kids who slept nights in the shadows of the bridge. I hoped that these occasional visitors to our slum weren't falling into the trap of assuming that those that they met represented the Victory Creek Bridge community. Part of the problem was that they always came between eight and five, never at night, and so their interactions with the community were limited to those home during these hours.
Seasonal occurrences such as monsoon rains also made many slum communities inaccessible to allcommunities. What interested me greatly was the situation of orphans living in orphanages. George Mueller came to mind. His heroic prayer exploits in the pursuit of his calling to care for orphans were an inspiration to me. Surely these poor orphans would be better off in a nice orphanage.
We discovered that although orphanages are rare in the West, the number of kids living in orphanages in poor countries is growing: an estimated 8 million children worldwide. The Cambodian Government and a significant number of secular and Christian organizations, missionaries and churches have established orphanages for Cambodian orphans. In fact, it soon became obvious that the traditional orphanage has been and continues to be widely seen by adults as the preferred option to care for orphans in Cambodia.
But I

was more interested in what the kids themselves had to say about their preference. I found one answer after looking more closely at the KHANA study mentioned before. In contrast to adults, who overwhelmingly supported the idea of institutional solutions for caring for orphans, the children surveyed invariably preferred family and community-based approaches over orphanages.
I remembered a conversation on one of my visits to a family with a teenage girl named Sonti. Sonti and her two younger brothers had been placed in a Christian orphanage by their mother who was dying of AIDS. One day I was visiting their mother who was very thin and just weeks from death. To my surprise I met Sonti, who was helping wash the dishes and I asked her whether she waswonder if our initial optimism about the orphanage idea was misplaced. I decided to look further afield at what researchers in other countries had observed about caring for orphans.
What I discovered was that vast amounts of research had already been carried out in the fields of psychology, sociology, medicine, education and community development into the impact of orphanage life on children. Literally dozens, maybe even hundreds of these studies had been conducted over the past few decades, virtually unanimous in their critique of orphanages. Some of the most interesting and useful studies compared children in orphanages with similar orphans living in the community.
I eventually ended up compiling a summary of all the studies. Some stood out as indicative of the variety of emotional, behavioural and psychological problems that

Out of consideration for our neighbours and to reduce our own stress levels we decided to relax and go with whatever worked for us. In practice that meant sleeping together Cambodian style under one mosquito net. It was a huge relief the first night we did it. No more fighting our way through several layers of mosquito net to get to a crying child, no more worrying that his crying would wake up the neighbours, no more distressed child wanting his mum and dad at night.
Later I came to realise that the Cambodian method of parenting children during their first two or three years is known as Attachment Parenting. The main components of this approach are carrying the baby close to your body a lot, sleeping together inand encouraging them almost every week, helping fix up their tiny home and mend their broken hearts.
Maryanne and her siblings became one of the first teenager-headed households in Project HALO because they had inherited their home and were keen to stay there, amongst the strong support network of their Cham community.
In Cambodia, the incidence of older orphans caring for their younger siblings is much lower than in Africa where the AIDS epidemic is being experienced on a larger scale and extended family networks have been worse hit. However, there is still a significant number of households like Maryanne's in Cambodia and I soon came to see that these households should be counted as teenager-headed long before the parents die, because of the significant caregiver role a teenager may

take on when the parent becomes incapacitated due to AIDS.
Clearly these teenager-headed families were extremely vulnerable to exploitation, psychological trauma and stress, poverty, lack of opportunities to attend school and a range of other difficulties. I felt it was up to us to make their lives as trouble-free and safe as possible under the difficult circumstances.
Surprisingly perhaps, living as a teenager-headed household was the preferred option for some families, especially if they had inherited a piece of land and a house from their parents and lived in close proximity to extended family who would visit regularly and provide them with material support. For example, Maryanne's aunt next door began to feed them and they were surrounded by a tight network of relatives and friends.
Despite the challenges, Maryanne andhomecare team who counselled him and sent him for testing. Unfortunately for Boo, his test came back HIV positive. Even worse, he had also passed the disease on to his wife. The weight dropped off and Boo grew increasingly emaciated and gaunt. Our homecare volunteers and staff visited him regularly to bring medicine and encouragement, and they also invited along a member of the local church to pray for Boo a number of times.
Then another shocking blow struck the family: in one terrible night they lost their tiny home and all their possessions in a raging fire that burnt down their slum. On top of this, Boo's oldest son, Lane, was learning welding, but he had to leave his course in order to work and pay back a

she decided to sell the baby. Aware of many unscrupulous baby vendors and some of the horrible situations these children could end up in, we counselled her and she agreed that with a small amount of support she would try to make a go of it. We made sure she had the appropriate antiretroviral drugs at birth to avoid passing the HIV virus to her newborn baby girl. A twenty-dollar medicine that could ensure the protection of a newborn child. When the latest baby was born, the Alongsiders were all around and they helped Dee choose a name from the Bible - Sarah, which means princess.
The lucky orphans chosen to participate thrived under the attention of their Alongsiders. We matched up Sally's two grandchildren, Savouen and Layak withwho lived nearby. Mayana and her sisters were all in school still and Mayana hoped to become a pharmacist one day like her aunt. They were fortunate enough to have inherited an old wooden home on stilts from their parents.
One day, we received an urgent message that some relatives of the girls were attempting to sell the land and house from underneath them. Aunty Lin and I took the girls to lay a complaint at the district commune office. To our relief, the commune leader put a bar on selling the land until Mayana reached 18 and could legally retain ownership. Though the case was temporarily solved I must admit that I retained a lot of anger towards Mayana's dodgy relatives, wondering what kind of person could be

Pyneath sent Sopee, one of his best staff, over to the centre to get things off the ground. Sopee was a cuddly young guy with a passion for discipleship. Before long he was joined by Guntee, a slightly serious bespectacled young woman, also on fire for God.
Sopee and Guntee began to visit all the teenagers in Project HALO at their homes, getting to know them and inviting them to participate in the various activities happening at the centre. Our vision was to create a sort of 'all hours' drop-in centre, a place where these kids could feel welcome and safe, a safe haven.
Some of our teenagers were already in vocational training at other places. A few cycled across town to study electronics or hairdressingLina, more than once. She had crossed the line into physical abuse. I was very upset that we had failed Lina in this way and removed her immediately. Aunty Lin ended up taking Lina into her own household.
Lina's problem occurred in the early days of Project HALO and in hindsight I was not sure it was the best response. What alternatives did poor Cambodian parents have to hitting as discipline? Time out proved fairly difficult in a one room shack. Removing privileges is impossible when the family live hand to mouth anyway and there are no luxuries such as video games or pocket money to take away. With the benefit of a few more years experience I knew it would take a great deal of creativity and wisdom

to me as a gentle whisper. In the Nutrition program, a brilliant young woman named Phearom had been working as Project Assistant for a few years. In a surprise upset at the leadership elections for TASK Phearom had come out of nowhere to take fourth place, narrowly missing out on becoming the first Deputy Director of TASK. We all knew she had great potential and would be a future leader. I wondered if she might be the next person God was anointing to lead the orphan ministry.
Phearom took more convincing than anyone else but eventually she agreed and I began an intense training process. One of the biggest problems we faced was trying to work out where all the families lived. We had almost 1000 children in theschool fees now went through the office. Phearom and I also decided that the Project HALO team needed a couple more people to help ease the huge workload. As the team grew, so did Phearom's confidence and ability to lead. With a sense of relief, I realised that by God's grace we had survived a major crisis relatively unscathed and by God's grace we had come out the other side even stronger and wiser than before.

Many of these children had been in orphanages from infancy. Dr Bender and her research associate found that when many of these orphanage children were later placed in foster families they had difficulty accepting love or playing with other children. They also noticed that these children tried hard to get contact with adults but were not gratified by these interactions. The researchers followed up ten of these children later in life and found that all ten still had problems adjusting and relating to others.
Dr Bender went on to conduct a number of studies testing the theory that growing up in an orphanage has an adverse effect on personality development. For example, she looked at

Fitzroy had been the only side between Melbourne and a wooden spoon in 1966 after winning just one game, and after losing their first five of the new season they were well on their way to another 12th placed finish.
By half time the game was all but over, and briefly during the third quarter Hassa Mann had more score than the entire Lions side when he bought up 5.2. From there the two sides played out of a dull, plodding affair that gave no more indication about Melbourne but seemed to annoint Fitzroy as the wooden spooners in waiting.
Ken Emselle had a torrid day in front of goals. In the second quarter he tried to soccer a ball through from the goalsquare and scored a point, and infunding for school safety improvements.

The month of September now means 3 things to me. The first is Matthew goes back to school, The second is our wedding anniversary and the third is that horrible fateful day of September 11th 2001 which is one of the worst days we have witnessed as a country and a world.

Our son is nowleft, so I split it between both kids and then made them sandwiches. Jenny first had to throw a small fit because she wanted applesauce and not a sandwich, and then when she was over that, she ate two or three bites of her sandwich and said she was done. I then had to do a great deal of forceful speaking to her to get her to go to the bathroom and to bed.

down there, and she stood on tiptoe to feel him against her. It wasn't the first time she had felt him, but it was the first time she felt bold enough to press herself against him, something she had ached to do. As she started to wrap her right leg against him, Tommy helped her by hoisting her up. And Kim locked her legs around his waist, slowly beginning to grind herself back and forth on the firm erection that was straining against Tommy's loose pants.
Somehow Tommy managed to walk the two over to the blanket he had laid out on the roof, and he carefully knelt down, laying Kim on it. Not once did the two break from kissing, nor did Kim's legs come undone from aroundTommy's waist. And as Tommy laid his weight carefully upon his petite girlfriend, her moans only managed to increase, which was music to his ears.
Hands suddenly started to explore places neither had ever dared explore before. Kim's hips instinctively began to move back and forth against Tommy's erection; her sex literally throbbing from the contact. And now it was Tommy moaning in response.
He undid the straps to Kim's overalls and folded the top of them down against her stomach. As he gently grabbed her left breast and squeezed tenderly, something finally snapped in Kim. Her eyes shot open as she realized that the two were so caught up in everything they were making each other feel that if she didn't do something quickly she was probably going to

The delay time xcex94T preferably is determined by the differential propagation delay of the second downlink signal burst from the second one of the visible satellites to the first user terminal and to a user terminal that is located at the TAC, minus a differential propagation delay of the first downlink signal burst from the first one of the visible satellites to the first user terminal and to a user terminal that is located at the TAC. Accordingly, the timing of forward link signal bursts may be determined for diversity operation.
As was described above, the downlink region preferably is restricted in size based on the desired capacity for the downlink region. In particular, the downlink region preferably is sufficiently small such that the first userterminal can receive the first downlink signal burst from the first visible satellite and the second downlink signal burst from the second visible satellite when the first and second visible satellites are located on respective opposite sides of the horizon and the first user terminal is located in the downlink region farthest from the TAC, with sufficient time therebetween that the first user terminal can transmit an uplink signal burst between the first and second downlink signal bursts. The present invention also need not restrict selection of the best two visible satellites serving the user terminals. Thus, the first satellite preferably is at a highest elevation angle and the second satellite preferably is at a next highest elevation angle. However, other satellites may be used.

A second satellite sends a second downlink signal burst to each of the plurality of user terminals to be received at a respective time that is a function of the separation distance of the respective user terminal in the downlink region from the TAC of the downlink region. The downlink time for the second downlink signal burst may be determined as was described above. The size of the downlink region may be limited in the manner that was described above. Uplink signal bursts also may be received in the manner that was described above.
Finally, satellite user terminals according to the present invention may be located at any arbitrary positionin a downlink region that is serviced by a plurality of visible satellites. The satellite user terminals include a receiver that receives a first downlink signal burst from a first one of the visible satellites and that receives a second downlink signal burst from a second one of the visible satellites. A diversity combiner combines the received first and second downlink signal bursts. The first downlink signal burst preferably is received over a first carrier frequency and the second downlink signal burst preferably is received over a second carrier frequency. The downlink region may be sized as was described above. The user terminal may include a transmitter that transmits an uplink signal burst using guard times as was described above.

Premier League mid-season review
The 2012/13 Premier League season is already at the half-way mark. With that in mind, now seems like a good time to take a closer look at each club's performance in the competition thus far. What teams have under-performed? And which teams have surpassed all expectations? Find out here in GiveMeFootball's mid-season review.
Club: Arsenal
Position: 5th
The summer departures of Robin Van Persie to Manchester United and Alex Song to Barcelona dealt Arsenal's chances of success this season a huge blow. However, manager Arsene Wenger allayed fears that the Gunners were set for a season of disappointment by recruiting wisely, adding the likes of Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski to the ranks at the Emirates.
Arsenal started the season in fine form at the back, withSouthampton the first side to breach their defence after shut-outs against Sunderland, Stoke and Liverpool.
Although Wenger's side were resolute defensively, their lack of goals suggested that they were struggling to fill the void left by last season's talisman, Van Persie. However, the goals soon started to flow as Arsenal thumped Southampton 6-1 back in September, with that display prompting people to consider the Gunners' title chances once again.
However, a title challenge has yet to materialise with their league form inconsistent and best described as solid, if unspectacular. They currently sit in 5th place, four points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea who have a game in hand, meaning that Wenger's side have it all to do in the second half of the season if they are to qualify for the

Champions League.
Mid-season rating: 6/10
Club: Aston Villa
Position: 16th
Paul Lambert's arrival at Villa Park led to many pundits suggesting the midlands-based club were all set for a successful season.
However, early season form soon put an end to the pre-season optimism that met Lambert's arrival, with the Villans winning just one of their first thirteen league games.
Villa recorded only their second win of the season against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on November 3, although that result was followed by back-to-back defeats with both Manchester clubs comfortably beating Lambert's men.
A five-game unbeaten run that followed seemingly put an end to talk of relegation, but a dreadful set of results over the festive period has left Villa in serious danger of slipping out of the Premier League via the trap doorthis season.
Former manager Roberto Di Matteo guided his team to seven wins from eight games, remaining unbeaten until a controversial loss against Manchester United on October 28 - a result that sparked a six-game winless streak. Such form prompted Abramovich to sack the Italian tactician, replacing him with former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez.
The Spaniard's arrival was met by widespread disapproval, with a number of Chelsea fans protesting against Benitez's appointment. However, the club's fans are starting to warm to their 52-year-old manager with the Blues currently on a three-game winning streak, including an 8-0 mauling of Aston Villa on December 23.
Mid-season rating: 7/10
Club: Everton
Position: 6th

over Manchester United on the opening day of the season.
With four wins from their opening six games, it looked like Everton had finally shaken their early-season blues, losing just once in their next 13 games, drawing eight and winning four.
Everton currently sit in 6th place, just one point behind Arsenal following their 1-1 draw with Southampton on New Year's Day.
Although Everton have limited resources to strengthen in the January transfer window, if they can make one or two astute signings, there is every chance that David Moyes' side can kick on and finish the season in style.
Mid-season rating: 8/10
Club: Fulham
Position: 13th
Martin Jol's men started the season by selling their two most prized assets - Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele. With both players signing for London rivals Tottenham Hotspur,Fulham were in need of a creative influence to fill the void left by the midfield duo. Step forward Dimitar Berbatov.
Jol pulled off something of a coup by securing the services of the mercurial Berbatov, with the 31-year-old striker signing for a fee in the region of £5million from Manchester United. The Bulgarian striker has undoubtedly been the highlight of Fulham's season, leading the line superbly and scoring seven goals in 17 league appearances.
With Berbatov in the side, Fulham started the season brightly enough, claiming three wins out of a possible five - including a 5-0 opening day thrashing of Norwich. This early season promise soon faded however, as Fulham won just two of their next 14 league games, leaving them languishing just six points above the relegation

zone.
That said, a 2-1 away win against high-flying West Brom has given Jol's side a renewed sense of optimism going into the new year, and the club's fans will undoubtedly be hoping that the Cottagers can kick on and pull themselves further away from the drop zone.
Mid-season rating: 5/10
Club: Liverpool
Position: 10th
The arrival of Brendan Rodgers sparked a new chapter in Liverpool's history, with the club's owners hoping that the former Reading and Watford boss could replicate the free-flowing and attacking style of football that was so prevalent during his tenure at Swansea.
The switch in philosophy was clearly a long-term vision and very much a work in progress during the early stages of the season, with the Anfield giants opening the season with a five-game winless run. It wassixth time lucky for Rodgers, as he secured his first league win as Liverpool manager by demolishing Norwich 5-2 at Carrow Road, with Luis Suarez grabbing all the headlines with a remarkable hat-trick.
That win sparked an eight-game unbeaten run, losing narrowly to Spurs on November 28. Since then, four wins from six has left Liverpool in mid-table, so European qualification is a very real possibility for Rodgers' men this season.
Mid-season rating: 6/10
Club: Manchester City
Position: 2nd
Manchester City's performances haven't been as convincing as last season, yet they have still picked up points, even going on an unbeaten run for the first 15 games of the season - a sign of true champions, perhaps?
Their first defeat of the season came in the Manchester derby, with their city rivals running out

3-2 victors on December 9, courtesy of a last-minute Robin Van Persie free-kick.
The defending champions succumbed to another loss, this time against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Boxing Day, a result which allowed United to stretch their lead at the top to seven points.
As such, their hopes of a successful title defence looks bleak, unless they can repeat their exploits of last season by overturning a considerable points deficit. You'd be foolish to rule Roberto Mancini's side out of the title race altogether, but right now, it appears that the title is United's to lose. Sound familiar?
Mid-season rating: 7/10
Club: Manchester United
Position: 1st
Manchester United are desperate to win the title back from rivals Manchester City this season, after they were denied being crowned champions with the lastkick of the 2011/12 season. Sergio Aguero's stoppage-time winner snatched the title from under United's noses, and Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be doing everything they can to ensure there is no repeat this time round.
The arrival of attacking players such as Shinji Kagawa and Robin Van Persie has boosted United's forward line, with the Red Devils now boasting a plethora of attacking options.
This season, and much like title rivals City, United haven't been at their best but they have been getting the job done, so to speak. Vital wins away at Chelsea, Liverpool and their local neighbours City have ensured that Ferguson's side sit proudly at the top of the table going into the new year.
There league position is thanks largely to their potency in front of

goal, with Manchester United's attack in imperious form, notching 54 goals in 21 games, although their defensive frailties have been exposed, shipping a total of 28 goals - just five fewer than they conceded throughout the entirety of the 2011/12 season.
With 17 wins out of a possible 21, United have a seven point cushion over nearest rivals City, with this season's race for the title seemingly a two-horse race between the Manchester clubs once again.
Mid-season rating: 8/10
Club: Newcastle United
Position: 15th
Newcastle surprised everyone with a 5th-placed finish last season, and Alan Pardew's men began the new season where they left off, starting the current campaign by losing just once in their first six league games.
It looked like Newcastle were destined for another convincing top-half finish until a loss ofform and a number of injuries to key personnel resulted in a run of just three league wins from their next 13 games, losing eight.
The Magpies poor run of results has seen Pardew's side flirt with relegation, currently sitting in 15th spot and just two points clear of the drop zone, although they do have a game in hand on a number of their rivals.
As one of the favourites for relegation before the season began, Norwich did little to defy people's pre-season predictions.
Beginning the campaign with a seven-game winless run - the Canaries were thrashed by Fulham, Liverpool and Chelsea - a return to the Championship seemed almost inevitable.
However, a ten-game unbeaten run, which saw Chris Hughton's side beat the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal, quickly propelled

City up the Premier League table, and now they sit comfortably in 12th spot.
That said, Norwich have lost their last two league games, so they will have to be careful that they do not get sucked back into the relegation mix during the second half of the season.
Mid-season rating: 7/10
Club: QPR
Position: 20th
With new owners and a number of high-profile signings, QPR were regarded as certainties to avoid the drop before the season got underway.
This season has not gone to plan at W12, with the 'Super Hoops' being everything but during a winless run that stretched to 16 games - a Premier League record.
Those results put an end to Mark Hughes' reign at Loftus Road, with QPR chairman Tony Fernandes turning to former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp to revivethe west London club.
However, Redknapp has struggled to improve the fortunes of QPR, who have recorded just one win in 20 games and remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
As Redknapp's men make the short trip across London to Stamford Bridge for this evening's Premier League clash with Chelsea, it's hard to see QPR's fortunes changing any time soon.
Mid-season rating: 2/10
Club: Reading
Position: 19th
Reading have only two wins to their name in 21 games this season, and sit just above QPR in the relegation zone.
Brian McDermott's side have struggled to adapt to life in England's top-tier, although a recent 1-0 win over West Ham gave the Royals a renewed sense of optimism.
Reading's main problem is their inefficiencies in attack, having scored just 16 goals all season. If they

left the Saints in 17th spot, outside the relegation zone on goal difference with 18 points from 20 matches.
Mid-season rating: 5/10
Club: Stoke City
Position: 9th
Stoke have become a regular fixture in the Premier League in recent seasons, but they got the 2012/13 campaign off to poor start, winning two of their first ten games, prompting some to suggest that Tony Pulis' side would end up in a relegation dogfight.
Yet the Potters soon proved the critics wrong by going nine games without loss, with their unbeaten home record still in tact after Cameron Jerome's last-minute wonder-strike on Boxing Day earning Stoke a hard-fought point in a pulsating 3-3 draw with relegation-threatened Southampton.
With few teams able to match Stoke's power and physicality, they provide a stern test for most Premier Leaguesides, so the prospect of a Europa League finish is very realistic, with Stoke sitting in 9th spot halfway through the season.
Mid-season rating: 8/10
Club: Sunderland
Position: 14th
Sunderland are having a below-par season with five wins from 20 matches.
Until Martin O'Neill's side recorded back-to-back wins over Southampton and Manchester City, a relegation battle seemed certain, but the Black Cats' recent points haul has left them in a much stronger position heading into the new year.
They are far from out of trouble however, and must continue to improve in a bid to avoid the drop.
Mid-season rating: 5/10
Club: Swansea City
Position: 8th
After the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Liverpool, it was expected that Swansea would struggle to play the same eye-catching brand of passing football under a new boss, but Michael Laudrup has

| 13,047,500
|
ensured Swansea continued with the style of play that has become synonymous with the club in recent seasons.
Laudrup's side started the campaign in scintillating form, scoring eight goals in their first two games, without conceding. One win from their next nine games saw the Swans plummet down the table, but they re-grouped and returned to form, losing just two of their next eight games.
Europa League qualification is very possible, and should they qualify for next season's competition, who knows how far Swansea could go? Their style of football is perfectly suited to European football, and the Welsh-based club could definitely hold their own with some of Europe's elite.
Mid-season rating: 7/10
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
Position: 3rd
Andre Villas-Boas joined Tottenham after Harry Redknapp was relieved of his duties at White Hart Lane.
ThePortuguese tactician has brought about significant change at Spurs, with a host of stars joining 'AVB' at the Lane. Hugo Lloris, Moussa Dembele and Clint Dempsey all joined the Tottenham revolution, and they have made a considerable impact during their short time with the club.
Twelve wins from 21 games has lifted Spurs to 3rd place, one point clear of 4th-placed Chelsea, although the Blues have two games in hand on their London rivals.
If Tottenham can maintain their current run of form and take it into the second half of the season, they are well placed to continue their charge for Champions League qualification, possibly even going one better.
Mid-season rating: 8/10
Club: West Brom
Position: 7th

with one or two tipping the Baggies to get dragged in to a relegation battle. How wrong people were.
Their blistering start to the Premier League season took everyone by surprise, as they lost just once in their first seven games. A four-game winning streak pushed West Brom up into the top six, and they have remained at the top end of the table throughout.
Such form has left the Baggies faithful dreaming of European qualification, but it remains to be seen whether Steve Clarke's men have got what it takes to mix it with the Premier League big boys for the duration of the season.
Mid-season rating: 9/10
Club: West Ham
Position: 11th
After winning promotion back to the big time at the first attempt, West Ham have returned and given a goodaccount of themselves.
Under Sam Allardyce, they play a direct and effective style of football that suits their on-loan striker Andy Carroll.
With just two losses in their first eight games, West Ham had hit the ground running on their return to the top-flight, although a run of one win from six games cemented the Hammers' position in mid-table.
West Ham have more than enough quality in their ranks to preserve their Premier League status, and having been linked to Liverpool's Joe Cole, Southampton's Rickie Lambert and former Chelsea star Nicolas Anelka, the Hammers could yet improve on their current league standing.

Kevin McCarthyHail Mary, full of graceKevin McCarthy in second place
architects of an American disaster,the politics of obstruction
While Congressional job approval is at 14%, one of the lowest ratings since the resignation of Nixon in 1974, the detached members of the House of Representatives are about to drive those numbers into an even deeper well.
Although it did not act to jolt the worst Congress in memory from ceasing to ignore the vast challenges this nation faces at home and abroad, the good people of Virginia did have the wisdom to relieve the third member of the obstructionist troika, Eric Cantor, of his congressional duties. And for that, America will always be grateful.
Boehner will go down in history as possibly, save some pre-Civil War and turn of the 20th centuryeconomic-collapse era congressional leaders, as the least effect Speaker of the House in American history.
The politics of obstruction have harmed this country immeasurably. Recovery will be slow, and the path to progress is strewn with thorns.
Kevin McCarthy is one of those thorns.
It is part of American conventional wisdom that a little revolution from time to time is healthy. As can be seen clearly from the tumultuous nature of the current presidential campaign, the American people have grow tired of political dynasties and congressional and other political leaders enriching themselves while 52% of American families have an annual income of $32,000 or less.
While it may be convenient for the inward-looking members of Congress to ignore associations between their members and divisive groups within the American body politic who debase

It will, perhaps, not be just to say of the claimant that the interval which elapsed between his discharge as a drummer and his reënlistment as a private at Mare Island, was for the purpose of drawing transportation and subsistence to Washington, but the case at least suggests that possibility.

good last year but playing on a line with Monahan and Baertschi it seems almost rejuvinated him. He has been flying the first 6 games and finding ice that he hasn't seen in the past. Monahan's ability to read the situation and make the right pass has allowed Stempniak and Baertschi to play more to a style that suits them in the offensive zone. The responsibility Hudler has had living with Monahan has made Hudler more of a leader on the team and he has looked like a man on an offensive mission lately.
Next the effect all the Monahan talk has had on Baertschi has been very noticeable. Monahan has instantly become a role model for Sven. Ever since Monahan started making head waves and Burke called himaround his increase a year earlier. And with the cap always going up, it shouldn't matter too much.
development is most important to the team. Where can Monahan grow the most. He has shown he can play in the NHL, but it is also early. His minutes are increasing since game 1, but also there has been injuries. How much ice time will he get when Stajan comes back, as well as Cammy and D.Jones.
What is better, 10-15 sheltered minutes in the NHL, or top line minutes in the OHL where he can be put in situations to succeed.
With pretty much a trade in place, Monahan will likely be on a team that will compete for the memorial cup. That experience along with the world juniors is something that

The evidence discloses that copies of the notice were furnished to libraries within the Wilmarth section of the proposed transmission system, but the record is clear that there was no published notice in any of the county newspapers in the counties involved in the Wilmarth section. There was publication only in county newspapers located in the northern section of the transmission system.
The panel found that the publications in the northern section satisfied the regulatory notice requirement because the publications were contained in newspapers of general circulation. We decline to accept that determination.

for a long time now. He was at the forefront of writing on the internet about baseball from an analytical perspective. When you read something written by Dave Cameron, you can expect it to be insightful. He knows baseball and is quite astute at measuring player value. This article is one he's meant to write.
It's a bad article, though. Cameron's not necessarily wrong in his critique of Schwarber. Schwarber is injured and his inability to play defense and make contact will suppress his value. And he could very well be correct about his view of Schwarber as a player going forward. But I believe Cameron had a vendetta when he wrote this article. He got a little testy in a chat at Fangraphs the day before.
In that chat,Schwarber slashed .333/.429/.613 in 147 minor league games. His bat is what earned him a sixth-place ranking on Baseball America's 2015 mid-season prospect list. After that list came out, his bat carried him to 1.9 fWAR in 273 PA after being called up to the big leagues. His bat helped carry the Cubs to a victory over the Pirates in the Wild Card Game last year. It helped send the Cardinals home in the next round, leaving indelible visions of dongs flying over scoreboards in Cards fans' minds along the way.
The questions about Schwarber's defense have surrounded him his whole career, though. That's why you've probably read a plethora of articles wondering what position Schwarber will play long-term. It's why the idea of trading Schwarber even exists. It's

error which gifted the Rabbitohs an opportunity to hit right back which they did in the 29th minute through a try to Chris McQueen in the corner. Sandow failed to convert in a sign of things to come with South Sydney's scoring finished for the game. If they couldn't get the good stats, the Bunnies took the bad ones continuing to concede errors followed by back to back penalties to give Brisbane the final scoring play of the half. Thaiday claimed a four pointer and Parker from the opposite sideline to his previous conversion nailed the conversion to send South Sydney into the interval with their heads down with Brisbane leading 18 points to ten.
South Sydney had an opportunity to hit back at the deficit early in thesecond stanza after errors and penalty gave them plenty of prime real estate. The visitors however failed to capitalise, coming closest with an effort which went upstairs to third umpire Mander who found the hand of Sandow knocking the ball on before the touchdown attempt. To add injury to insult Greg Inglis hobbled off the field with an ankle injury just minutes later not to return for the remainder of the game after McPherson had already taken an early shower. Within a couple of minutes there was some concern over Sandow too but he managed to play through.
Brisbane put the final nail in the coffin in the 59th minute when their halves combined on the back of a scrum win to put Ben Te'o in to score. Parker

Japanese displacement of the colonial powers and, as you mention, the inability of the colonial powers to reassert their control in the face of flowering local independence movements, the training and weapons must have put teeth into those movements which they lacked before the war.
I expect that there was also a fair amount of weapons scavenging from both sides by locals in the wake of the withdrawal of both sides and the weapons and ordnance left after battles and perhaps in field or even warehouse stores.
There were certainly communist movements in some of the colonial countries, but on closer examination they tended to be strongly nationalist / independence movements informed by communist doctrine relating as much to overthrow of the local rich and powerful as to the colonialpowers, rather than purely communist movements existing in a vacuum.
The US missed a great chance to avoid the Vietnam war when Ho Chi Min sought US support for Vietnam's independence in the 1950s, in the foolish belief that the US as the nation founded on grand principles of independence forged in a war freeing itself from colonial domination would actually be sympathetic to those in other countries pursuing the same aim. His approach to the Americans indicates that, at that stage at least, he was far from committed to some doctrinaire Moscow, or Peking, line communism but that he was primarily interested in gaining independence for Vietnam.

the French were fighting a rear-guard action in Algeria which had long been considered - by the French - as a part of metropolitan France in a war that would last well into the 60s. Although entrenched, they were a minority destined to lose. Tunisia was less close to France's vital interests and was a protectorate and thus psychologically easier to let go around 1956. Tunisia wasn't vital like Algeria was. The Tunisians, to my knowledge, never took up arms against French.
We won't mention the Philippines again because, as RS pointed out, it wasn't a colony in the traditional European meaning of the term having only been under American control - not including the Muslim Huk Belaheb - since 1898 when they sent the Spanish packing.
My point isby the Allies is also crucial in considering how things might have turned out if the Axis won. My knowledge is limited to the Pacific War but, although the Japanese had no shortage of spies and fifth columnists in countries they occupied, they didn't arm, support, supply and train them in the same way that the Allies did during the war in the Philippines.
Against that is the fact that each colony has to be considered on its own circumstances as, as far as I am aware, the circumstances in the NEI were not conducive to the same sort of Allied sponsored guerrilla actions which occurred in the Philippines, while Japan's 'soft' occupation of French Indo-China was very different to its armed conquest of Malaya and Singapore.

Rome,
Italy 1828 - It was St. Francis of Paula who during the fifteenth century founded
a monastery known as Trinita dei Monti. In 1828 the monastery was going to be
abandoned. Pope Leo XII expressed the desire that it should be offered to the
religious of the Sacred Heart. In 1828, Trinita dei Monti was offered to the Religious
of the Sacred Heart. Since then the monastery, which is located in Rome near the
Spanish steps, has become a center for the Religious of the Sacred Heart and all
others visiting the shrine of Mater Admirabilis.
The
story of the fresco of Mater Admirabilis is in 1844, a young French girl, Pauline
Perdrau who later became a Religious of the Sacred Heart expressed to Reverend
Mother Coriolis, Superior of the house, a desire to paint Our Lady ina niche
located along a corridor that opened on the cloister. The Mother Superior was
hesitant. While she knew the talent of the youthful artist, she also knew her
ignorance of fresco techniques.
Pauline
Perdrau prayed to Mother Mary for strength, and in spite of resistance from the
Mother Superior, Pauline Perdrau persisted and finally was granted permission.
She gave herself wholeheartedly to the task, spending six or seven hours each
day for months preparing the surface of the wall and finally painting the likeness
of Mary.
When the painting was
completed, the wet paint was thought to be too vivid and was left to dry under
a protective drape. When the curtain was removed some days later, the paint appeared
in the lovely shades that are admired today. Pauline Perdrau thought it to be
a miracle.
On October 20, 1846,

visited the Monastery of Trinita dei Monti. While on tour, he asked
what was hidden behind the curtain. Pulling back the curtain to the surprise of
all, there was the most beautiful fresco of Mary, the painting of Pauline Perdrau.
The Pope exclaimed Mater Admirabilis!, thus giving her the title that she bears
to this day.
Word spread quickly
of the beautiful fresco of Mater Admirabilis meaning Mother Most Admirable. Miracles
began to happen in November of that same year. Father Blampain, a missionary of
the Congregation of the Holy Heart of Mary, was given the power of speech which
he had completely lost. Pilgrims in ever increasing numbers came to kneel
at the feet of the Madonna and to pray for grace. The grace that seems to be a
special gift of Mater Admirabilis is an invitation tointerior life.
Pope
Pius IX gave permission to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass before the miraculous
picture. So evolved the Celebration of the Feast of Mater Admirabilis on October
20th. Among the innumerable priests and pilgrims of all nations who have come
to the Shrine of Mater Admirabilis, one remembers especially the Saints who have
prayed there: Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat and Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne.
The
image is meant to portray a teenage Mary at the temple of Jerusalem getting ready
for her sublime future mission. Her pureness is represented by the traditional
white lily, her toil by the spindle she is holding whereas the book on her sewing
basket stands for her education, and her thoughtful look and the peaceful landscape
behind her for the leading role of praying in life. The Most Admirable Mother

Ex. B-41, Tr. at 312-13. Then, on November 29, 1982, Mr. Walker once more saw Dr. Hall. Although Mr. Walker had earlier reported pain primarily in his left leg, he now felt pain in his right leg. Dr. Hall hospitalized Mr. Walker for diagnosis, and a myelogram revealed a bilateral disc protrusion. Mr. Walker then underwent approximately a month of physical therapy without improvement and, on January 18, 1983, Dr. Hall operated on Mr. Walker's back for the third time in less than two years.
15
Upon Mr. Walker's release from the hospital after the third surgery, Dr. Hall estimated that Mr. Walker would be unfit for work for at least four months. Ex. 29, Tr. at 241. On March 15, 1983, Dr.Hall estimated that Mr. Walker was still at least three to four months away from being ready to return to work and, further, that Mr. Walker had been totally disabled for the entire period following his injury.1 Ex. B-30, Tr. at 251-53. During his recovery from the third operation, Mr. Walker continued to suffer from recurrent back pain and, in June 1983, he received treatment for back pain in a hospital emergency room. Ex. B-41, Tr. at 319.
16
By July 1983, Mr. Walker's back condition seemed to have stabilized. In July and August 1983, three doctors examined Mr. Walker and reached substantially similar conclusions. On July 7, 1983, Dr. Sae Rhee of Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services examined him and restricted him from

September 21, 2005. Shirley declares that his only contact with his federal trial attorney after he was sentenced concerned an issue of whether or not he had fully served his federal sentence. He contacted his attorney through his wife and did not speak with him directly. He had no retainer agreement with his attorney at this time and learned nothing about Walker's indictment.
Shirley's trial attorney declares that he never talked to the Government about Walker's indictment. He also states that his representation of Shirley in the subject federal case ended upon Shirley's being sentenced in the case. His only other involvement in the federal matter was a phone call to the Government he made as a courtesy to his former client to see if his federal sentence hadto turn over the information when it first learned of it so that it could have been used in a motion for a new trial.
Johnson and Shirley claim that Walker should be considered part of the prosecution thus obligating the Government to turn over to the defense information concerning Walker's criminal activities and lies during trial. The defense's argument is predicated upon the fact that Walker was part of the prosecution team because he worked for the agency investigating Shirley and he was a key member of the prosecution. Although Walker was a critical witness for the Government, the court finds that he was not part of the prosecution for Brady purposes. Walker was not a law enforcement officer, nor was he responsible for making prosecutorial decisions with

Shirley to pay a $10,000 bribe. She testified that Walker first mentioned in late March that he was going to charge Shirley but Walker had laughed when he said it so she did not take him seriously. Tr. at 1213:1-13. Thereafter, Walker mentioned to her on April 2 and 9 that he was going to charge Shirley but he again laughed when he said so. However, on April 14 at a chance meeting between Walker and Johnson, Johnson testified that Walker told her he was serious. Id. at 1213:15-1217:11. Johnson claims that Walker thereafter pressured her into agreeing to ask Shirley to pay Walker a fee. Both movants cite page 1230 of the trial transcript as supporting the claim that Johnson then conveyed Walker's fee to Shirley. Johnson'sShirley's suggesting he would pay one both before and after Johnson joined them in his meeting on April 28 with Walker at the Coleman Still restaurant.
Shirley also argues that Walker's advice to Shirley as to the dire consequences he faced as a result of his tax problem induced Shirley to pay a bribe. However, accepting for discussion that Johnson had asked Walker to meet with Shirley only for the purpose of explaining the notice that Shirley had received from the IRS, it appears that Shirley clearly had a severe tax problem and that what Walker told him was, at least in large part, true. Shirley has not offered evidence that Walker's advice was materially wrong and thus wrongfully induced Shirley to offer a bribe.
The court concludes that the

a Game Genie.
After the SNES, I got a Playstation console for my birthday along with a Spider-Man game. That was the only game I got for that system. My younger sister got more games for it and more or less took it over. I ended up playing games on the computer mostly the SimCity and WarCraft series. Since then she has gotten the GameBoy, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS systems. She still plays her DS games while I play the Facebook games. While she still likes to play the Mario games on occasion, she has switched to mostly puzzle games. I hate playing the hand held games for the controls and screens are way too small for me.
While I haven't played any computer games for the past fewyears, I still play online games on Facebook mostly House of Fun slots, Hit It Rich slots and Nords: Heroes of the North. I greatly enjoyed playing Superhero City but then it got dropped. I played FarmVille but grew bored with it fast and I played Candy Crush for a while before I got stuck on a level. I wish Game Genie would come back with codes for Facebook games.
Yes, I do feel old after writing this post and sharing my memories about the various video game systems and games that I have had through the years. Maybe it's because I just realized that I will be turning fifty-one one month from today.

by the Advertising Standards Authority following 166 complaints of knife and gun related violence. Supposedly influenced by the Napoleonic era, scenes included a meat knife held over the throat of a semi-conscious woman and a man intertwined with a naked woman, directing a pistol at a guy sprawled on the floor with a bloody shot wound to the head. The advertisement was said to glamorise weapon related violence. Nevertheless, the ad continued to run in other countries, after all there was no more violence than you may find in a costume drama, and Dolce & Gabbana collections are known to be inspired by history.
It gets worse. Barely a month later the label was slammed once again, but this time world-wide in an ad said to closely resemble arun, and repeating the steps as necessary until the width of the uncertainty window is determined.
In another related aspect, the various circuits on the microprocessor die need to be calibrated prior to any measurement run to determine the uncertainty window. The calibration unit, previously mentioned, preferably aids in the calibration by establishing a time reference on the microprocessor die. More particularly, in the preferred embodiment, the calibration unit determines the propagation speed of inverters on the microprocessor in relation to the period of the clock applied to the microprocessor. While the on-die circuitry may not know the frequency of the applied clock, preferably the external software does. By knowing how many inverter propagation delays fit within one complete period of the applied clock, the external software may therefore

the last decade alone, many families in Afghanistan were forced to sell their children just to survive the Taliban ruin of their country. Sometimes young girls were fortunes of war in Becky's day and could be bought and sold at market; for example the Jewish damsel in 2Kgs 5:1-3 who helped Naaman get his leprosy cured.
The 500 mile trip to Isaac's camp, which must have taken at least two weeks, was a great opportunity for Rebecca to become familiar with the manager of her spouse's goods. People bond well under hardship and under close knit circumstances. In the years to come, the friendship and trust that developed en route with Rebecca and the man, would really come in handy after she took over Isaac's home. We can easilylots more, are very important to most brides and I have no doubt that Rebecca pried a great many things out of Abraham's steward concerning her Isaac. By the time they arrived, all of Becky's anxieties and fears about her future husband were resolved, and she was in love with that man before even meeting him for the very first time.
You know, Becky only had the steward's word that there really was an Isaac. She herself had never seen him, her family had never seen him, in fact no one in her whole town had ever seen him. What if the entire story were a big hoax and the man was not telling the truth. Perhaps he was a smooth con man who actually had in mind to

Isaac came along. But at first, he had his dad all to himself for at least fifteen years.
Both of these guys were older and wiser men by this time. I'm sure Ishmael understood that the loss of his birthright due to his mother's emancipation wasn't Isaac's fault. And Isaac harbors no ill will towards his half-brother for anything he may have done as a kid. After all, grown-ups are no longer the kids they grew from. The kids they were are long gone. It's not a good thing to hold grudges against people for the things they did when they were underage and didn't know any better.
. Gen 25:9b-10 . . in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre,the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites; there Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
No doubt when Abraham negotiated for this property, he anticipated his own eventual interment. Well, this cave is big enough to become a family crypt. Later, more of his progeny would follow him there.
. Gen 25:11a . . After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac.
With the death of Abraham, the covenant torch is passed on to the next patriarch. The promises now shift into Isaac's possession and it becomes his responsibility to take over as the family priest too.

history and you can safely bet the people of Israel were very familiar with that old rascal's ways. He mistreated not only Jacob, but also Leah and Rachel too, so he's not too popular with the people of Israel even today; seeing as how he was unkind and dishonest with their sacred ancestors and all.
The holiday of Purim commemorates an Agagite named Haman, who tried to exterminate the Jews in Esther's day. Maybe there should be a memorial for Laban too. Although he wasn't a villain on the scale of Haman, he nevertheless made ol' Jacob's life pretty miserable there for a while.
. Gen 25:21a . . Isaac pleaded with the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren;
Oh no. Not again! It seems like allof course would make no sense at all to Rebecca because she was chosen for Isaac's wife by Divine providence; and her pregnancy was the result of Isaac's intercession. What was the point of going to all that trouble if she was only going to die right along with their first baby? In her mind, she certainly would have been much better off to have remained up north with her family than leave home with the servant to marry Isaac and lose her life bearing his child.

with our peers in clothing, cars, physical appearance, business success, and popularity. Envy is a powerful, negative feeling that overwhelms us whenever others are doing better than ourselves.
. Gen 26:15 . . And the Philistines stopped up all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, filling them with earth.
You would think the Philistines would value those wells and put the water to use for themselves. But actually, there weren't really all that many Philistines in the Gerar area at the time. They didn't need the water; and they sure didn't want any squatters to discover the wells and thus be encouraged to settle down in their region.
Abimelech forbade his citizens to harm Isaac; but that didn't preclude harassing and annoyingdig wells down into the subterranean water table.
According to ERETZ magazine, issue 64, the Gerar river draws its waters from tributaries that run along the slopes of the rain-swept Hebron mountains. Enormous amounts of water flow through it in winter, flooding the channel an average of seven times a year.
. Gen 26:18 . . Isaac dug anew the wells which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham's death; and he gave them the same names that his father had given them.
Those wells were dug nearly a hundred years prior to this event; and makes one wonder how Isaac knew where they were and how he knew the names his dad had named them. The Gerarians probably

waited until Abraham was dead to plug them up because they feared him. He had a reputation as a military leader and he also had a pact with the king Abimelech of Abraham's period.
. Gen 26:19-20 . . But when Isaac's servants, digging in the wadi, found there a well of spring water, the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying: The water is ours. He named that well Esek, because they contended with him.
Isaac was much too affable. He didn't have to let those guys buffalo him; after all, Isaac had a pretty good sized army of his own; left to him by his dad. He could easily have posted an armed platoon by the well to keep the local cowboys away from it. But no,was conducted legally and above board. And he complied with all of the Gerar County rulings concerning disputes over the water rights even though their rulings were undoubtedly biased in favor of Gerar citizens. Isaac didn't deserve to be treated so unfairly.
. Gen 26:23 . . From there he went up to Beer-sheba.
Exactly where the boys Jacob and Esau were during this era in Isaac's life isn't stated. They may have remained in the highlands to protect Isaac's interests while he was out of town, but then again, they may have been with him in Gerar: it's impossible to tell.
Genesis doesn't say exactly how long Isaac and Rebecca lived around Gaza. Isaac's usual haunts were Beer-lahai-roi, about 50 miles further south. Beer-sheba was Abraham's zone on oath between

who felt him and wondered: The voice is the voice of Jacob, yet the hands are the hands of Esau. He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; and so he blessed him.
So then, in spite of their twin-ness, there was enough of a difference in the brothers' voices to be discernable. However, Rebecca somehow attached size-cut pieces of young goat skin on the backs of Jacob's hands and fingers with some sort of toupee adhesive so it would feel to Isaac as if it were a man's natural hairs. That was a pretty good trick; and would probably land her a job as a Hollywood make-up artist.
. Gen 27:24 . . He asked: Are you truly my son Esau?and let me eat of my son's game that I may give you my innermost blessing. So he served him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.
The wine was probably out in the kitchen. When Jacob went back to get it, don't you think Rebecca hugged him and gave him a great big thumbs up? I do. Those two were a team! The original Mission Impossible task force.
While Isaac was eating, he and Jacob probably chatted. About what; I don't have a clue. But Jacob managed to pull it off like a pro. Isaac really thought he was talking with Esau.
. Gen 27:26-27 . .Then his father Isaac said to him: Come close and kiss me, my son. And he went up and kissed

sit up and eat of his son's game, so that you may give me your innermost blessing. His father Isaac said to him: Who are you? And he said: I am your son, Esau, your first-born! Isaac was seized with very violent trembling.
According to Jewish folklore, Isaac's first impulse, upon realizing he blessed the wrong son, was to retract the benediction from Jacob and give it to the son for whom it was intended; and would have except at that moment he saw Hell open beneath his feet, thus signifying that God was very displeased with his intentions; and if he persisted any longer to bless the wrong boy, he would suffer dire consequences. I would not be one bit surprised if that were true.
It began to dawnon Isaac what had happened. The truth suddenly came home to him like a frigid blast of icy wind. In spite of all his intentions, God overruled Isaac, and he blessed the younger instead of the elder; like he was supposed to do in the first place.
Furthermore, he realized he had been deceived by his true love Rebecca, and by his faithful son Jacob, whom he really hadn't appreciated very much up until now. I think he realized, that they, level-headed and sensible people that they were, deceived him in order to prevent the head of the house from doing what he very well knew he had no right to do. And God was in on the whole scheme, and had blessed Jacob through Isaac in spite of

sinks in that they have lost Heaven forever. It's beyond words.
At the first, Esau entered his dad's room with cheerful anticipation. Then quite bluntly, Isaac blurts out that someone beat him to it. Watching his dad shivering, and seeing the look of fear wash over the patriarch's face, the awful truth became only too apparent and Esau gave vent to his disappointment with a dreadful scream.
. Gen 27:34b . . and said to his father: Bless me too, Father!
In Esau's mind, his dad really hadn't intended to bless Jacob; and was actually hoodwinked into it; so surely God couldn't possibly honor the fraudulent blessing. Isaac could just simply retract his words and bless the older son like he wanted to. But no. It was far more serious thaneither Esau or his dad imagined; which by now, via God's Spirit, Isaac was fully aware.
. Gen 27:34c . . But he answered: Your brother came with guile and took away your blessing.
That was really only a half truth; no doubt told with the intent to prevent alienating his eldest son. The fact of the matter is: Isaac couldn't change anything now even if he wanted to; and he knew it too because by now he was fully reminded of God's original mandate regarding the two boys even before they were born. Hardly knowing how to explain his wanton error to Esau, he simply blamed Jacob for it. But it was Isaac's fault all along. He should never have led Esau to believe he would get the blessing.

care very little for the property rights of others.
There's a clash of civilizations going on in this scene. Jacob was from the frontier lands of Canaan where men of mettle did pretty much as they wished. I'm guessing that Haran was a bit more sophisticated.
And then too; Jacob was a privileged kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I've seen the kind of superiority complex that kind of upbringing sometimes instills within children. Well; that's going to change. Jacob is entering the school of hard knocks, and he's going to learn a thing or two from professor Laban. But when it's all over, Jacob will be a better man for it.
. Gen 29:9-10 . .While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father'sflock; for she was a shepherdess. And when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the flock of his uncle Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of his uncle Laban.
Violating local customs is an insolent thing to do; and almost certainly guaranteed to get you off on the wrong foot. And besides: fair is fair. The other shepherds were there ahead of Rachel, and no telling how long they'd been waiting. Word of Jacob's favoritism, and his disdain for fair play, would surely spread.
Coming from a privileged family; Jacob was accustomed to doing pretty much as he pleased and answering to no one for it. But arriving in Haran, he was a nobody:

The next morning I took the females to the area that I knew the moths were found. Both of the females were virgin moths and they both were sending out pheromones from their pheromone glands. It wasn't long before a male moth had located the females and soon both females had paired up with males. Hopefully both females will survive long enough to lay lots of eggs and in a year or two their offspring will be flying about.

Officers fatally shot a man allegedly wielding a knife and threatening customers at a family-owned gaming hall in Long Beach Monday night, police said.
Police received a call around 10:08 p.m. about a man armed with a knife at Looff's Casino Game of Skill in the 2500 block of Long Beach Boulevard, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Patrons at the gaming hall said they felt threatened and ran out of the building, said Lt. Brad Johnson of the Long Beach Police Department.
Officers arrived and tried to get the man to desist by using non-lethal force, Johnson said.
Police said the officers' attempts were ineffective as the man continued waving the knife and an officer-involved shooting occurred, Johnson said.
Long Beach Fire Department arrived at the scene after the shooting andpronounced the man dead.
No other injuries were reported.
The officer-involved shooting was under investigation.
The suspect's identity was not released, but police said he was a 39-year-old Carson resident.
Looff's gaming hall, which offers gambling, bingo and arcade games, has been around since 1941.

such that the after recording function is easily performed. Also, an analog signal is not recorded in a particular recording unit, so that operations required for the after recording are completed by overwriting a desired portion.
Here, audio which has been originally recorded is called original audio, and audio to be replaced and recorded later is called secondary audio. In order to preserve original audio upon recording of secondary audio, two audio tracks to separately record the original audio and the secondary audio must be prepared. Accordingly, original audio and secondary audio are discriminated from each another by the positions of their tracks.
While the two tracks are simultaneously played back, the secondary audio signal is only output when an audio signal exists in the track for secondary audio, andcomprised of at least one among video data, audio data and graphic data, and the audio data is comprised of first audio or first audio and second audio; the basic unit information includes the state information on the first audio and the state information on the second audio; the state information on the first audio represents an original audio state in which the first audio is original audio, or a secondary audio state in which the first audio is secondary audio recorded over part or all of the original audio; and the state information on the second audio represents a state in which the second audio is original audio, a state in which the second audio is secondary audio recorded over part or all of the original audio,

co-author Daniele Piomelli, a professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine, said in a university news release.
Fragile X syndrome affects an estimated 100,000 people in the United States and often leads to mental retardation, epilepsy, autism and abnormal body growth. There is no cure.
The study authors performed their research on mice that were genetically engineered to show signs similar to those of humans with the condition. The researchers treated them to allow better processing of the chemical compounds. The mice became less anxious and less stressed-out by open space.
Commenting on the new study, Dr. Randi Hagerman, a fragile X syndrome researcher and medical director of the MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis, said the research is preliminary but helpful.
Marijuana triggers the sameFormer Texans cornerback Darryl Morris signed with the New York Jets on Thursday, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
Morris was a restricted free agent the Texans opted to not tender, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Morris played two seasons for the Texans and one for the San Francisco 49ers, recording 39 career tackles and one interception.
Morris had eight tackles on defense last season with seven tackles on special teams.
In 11 games with one start in 2014, Morris had 30 tackles and one interception with six passes defended and one tackle for a loss.
Morris signed with the 49ers after going undrafted out of Texas State.

a coca grower as a suspect in the murder. On May 14, a government helicopter flying in support of eradication efforts was fired upon; one JTF soldier was wounded. The JTF in the Chapare was fired upon on August 2, and the Ecological Police, who provide security for the JTF, returned fire and wounded one of the assailants, who subsequently was arrested along with a companion. On August 18, there were two serious explosive incidents that injured a policeman and another government employee. One suspect subsequently was arrested. In separate booby trap blasts on October 11, a coca eradication soldier and a civilian were injured. On October 21, as the JTF near Puerto Zudanez was returning to base camp, it was fired upon. Two members of the JTFwere killed and four were wounded. On November 13, the JTF column was ambushed while proceeding to eradicate coca in the Ismael Montes sector. One policeman, Abad Espinoza, was killed.
There were several reported cases of alleged criminals lynched or burned by civilians, sometimes resulting in death, for their alleged crimes.
b. Disappearance
There were no reports of politically motivated disappearances.
The case of Jose Carlos Trujillo Oroza drew renewed attention as the most prominent of the cases of those who disappeared during the 1971-78 de facto regime of President Hugo Banzer Suarez. Trujillo's mother presented the case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in June 1999. The security forces had detained Trujillo, a 21-year-old university student, in December 1971, and he never was seen again after February 2, 1972. Trujillo's

a civilian in Achacachi. A mob beat the captain, and after he was taken to a hospital, dragged him from the hospital and beat him to death. There also were allegations that arrestees from Patacamaya during the state of siege were beaten by the military prior to being transferred to the custody of the PTJ.
There were allegations that security officials beat protesters who they detained in the Chapare during the September-October disturbances, as well as allegations that they beat civilians to try to learn the location of missing security officials and the names of those responsible for their deaths.
There also were credible allegations that military officers and sergeants beat and otherwise mistreated military conscripts. The military justice case against superiors accused of allegedly beating conscript Roger Candia Vallejosin September and November 1999 continued at year's end.
Several police officers were fired and charged for off-duty crimes, and a number were dismissed for corruption. However, in general the police were not disposed to investigate their own colleagues, and prosecutors were reluctant to prosecute security officials for alleged offenses committed while on duty.
Neither the technical and judicial police nor prosecutors normally receive human rights training. Over 6,000 FELCN members, PTJ members, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges received training on bail provisions of the new Code of Criminal Procedures. In July foreign consultants conducted a 1-week human rights course for 33 FELCN investigators. The basic FELCN and UMOPAR training includes a human rights module.
In September 1999, the military signed a cooperation agreement with the Ombudsman's office and, in November 1999,

promulgated in 1996, which were never utilized effectively. Most prisoners still await either trial or sentencing, but under the new Code of Criminal Procedures the courts are beginning to provide release on bail for some prisoners. Judges still have the authority to order preventive detention for suspects under arrest deemed to be a flight risk or for obstruction of justice. If a suspect is not detained, a judge still can order significant restrictions on a suspect's travel.
The expanding public defender program provides concise information about human rights to citizens and seeks to involve public defenders in arrest cases at the earliest possible juncture to ensure that human rights and due process are honored. A program of mobile public defenders who can reach the more remote parts of theearly 1999, the Council had investigated numerous reports of judicial corruption, which led to the resignation or dismissal of more than 20 judges in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and La Paz. One of the dismissed judges, who allegedly accepted bribes from narcotics traffickers, protested his dismissal to the Constitutional Court, which ruled that only a court finding of malfeasance, rather than a finding by an administrative body such as the Council, was cause for dismissal. The Court's decision dealt a serious blow to the Judicial Council and weakened its role as a disciplinary body. At year's end, legislation was pending that would increase the Council's suspension powers to 3 years or would reinstate the Council's power to dismiss judges found guilty of malfeasance by the Council.
